With America deep in the throes of World War I, baseball offers a brief escape from the harsh realities of war and loss.

What can 101 years of life teach us about faith, resilience, service, and staying positive? Jeff Gould, America's Storyteller, sits down with 101-year-old Bill Kruschel for an unforgettable conversation spanning nearly a century of American history. Born in 1925, Bill grew up during the Great Depression, worked on a farm without running water or electricity, and served as a Navy corpsman attached to the 1st Marine Division during World War II. He remembers Pearl Harbor, Okinawa, the end of the war, and returning home to begin an extraordinary life and career. With only 11 grades of formal schooling, Bill went on to spend 37 years at 3M, working in mechanical engineering during the rise of magnetic tape, computers, and floppy disks. He also devoted years to the Boy Scouts of America and advocating for children with special needs. At 101, Bill still rides his electric tricycle, sings every week, and approaches life with remarkable faith, gratitude, humor, and optimism. And stay to the end—Bill's rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” is something special.

You think life among the big shots in 19th century Washington DC was all about restraint and honor? Think again. Behind the scenes there were actually plenty of illicit affairs. We're revisiting a titillating story that involves some powerful players . . and a very young wife. At its center is the son of Francis Scott Key, who wrote the Star Spangled Banner. The affair led to a murder that was the talk of pre Civil War Washington . . and became the first case in which the defense used a plea of temporary insanity. What would it take to drive you to murder and how would you get out of it?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan MailToday's episode is my conversation about the 1931 film Tabu: A Story of the South Seas. I'm joined by James Kreul from the Moving Image Madison newsletter and we talk about how the film's pacing suffers due to trying to blend documentary filmmaking with a loose narrative structure, the film's influence on modern films set in the same region like Moana, and the sad passing of the film's director just a week before it debuted.You can watch Tabu on Amazon Prime or YouTube or purchase a copy for yourself and be sure to check out James's newsletter.Other films mentioned in this episode include:All Quiet on the Western Front directed by Lewis MilestoneDracula directed by Tod BrowningNanook of the North directed by Robert J.

As Americans across the nation gathered to celebrate Independence Day, nearly 10,000 people joined in honoring the values, faith, and freedoms that have shaped our country. Despite attempts to dampen the spirit of the holiday, the celebrations continued with songs of gratitude and patriotism, including America the Beautiful and God Bless America. From the faith of the Pilgrims to the enduring message of The Star-Spangled Banner rising from Fort McHenry, this episode reflects on the spiritual heritage woven into America's story.Drawing a powerful parallel between music and the Christian life, we explore how faithful parents, pastors, and believers can recognize the discordant notes of carnality and corruption in today's culture. As the Spirit of God dwells within us, we are called to stay in tune with His leading, His truth, and His purpose. Now is the time for a spiritual tune-up—aligning our hearts with God and lifting our voices in glory, praise, and worship.Join us for an inspiring message about faith, freedom, and living in harmony with the Spirit of God.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Let me start with a challenge.  How much of the Star-Spangled Banner do you actually know?  Not the first line.  Not the first verse.  The whole thing.  If I handed you a microphone at a baseball game and asked you to sing it, how far would you get?  Ten seconds?  Five?  Would you just start humming confidently and hope nobody notices?Because here's the strange thing:One of the most recognizable songs in America is also one of the least-known.  Most Americans know a single verse.  But the Star-Spangled Banner actually has four.  And hidden in those forgotten verses is a story of war, survival, patriotism, controversy, and one very nervous lawyer watching a battle unfold through the darkness.  Today on The Missing Chapter, we're diving into the history of America's national anthem—How it was written during a battle, why it's so difficult to sing, and what happened to the verses that most Americans have never heard.  Happy 250th Birthday, America, and welcome to the Missing Chapter.

We're approaching the Fourth of July weekend. A time when people are reflecting on what it means to be American. And  with that reflection comes a complicated mix of emotions. Some celebrate the 4th of July, some protest it, other people are just indifferent.Whatever your feelings are, one thing is for sure: we'll be hearing a LOT of the national anthem in the coming days. Especially as the country marks 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence.  So - how do you relate to the Star Spangled Banner?Well that's a question Jeff Chang asked on his new KALW show, Notes From The Edge. His show explores the possibilities and perils of America as our country moves through increasingly uncertain times. In one episode, Jeff invited musicians to reimagine America's Anthem. In this clip, we'll hear from Julian Brave NoiseCat, the Oscar-winning director of the documentary Sugar Cane, and the author of the memoir “We Survived the Night.”

Making your voice heard, and creating change, are fundamental to our democracy. But sometimes, when we see that democracy being threatened, it can make us ponder how we feel about this country as a whole.Saturday is the 4th of July. And every time it comes around, folks consider their relationship with the day. Some celebrate it, some protest it, other people are just indifferent… Whatever your feelings, one thing is for sure- we'll be hearing A LOT of the national anthem, especially as the country marks 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. So—how do you relate to the Star Spangled Banner?That's a question Jeff Chang asked on his new KALW show, Notes From The Edge.His show explores the possibilities and perils of America as our country moves through increasingly uncertain times.

America declares war on the most powerful empire on earth and almost immediately discovers it may have picked a fight it cannot win.  This is the story of how America's second war for independence erupted into disaster, humiliation, and legend.  Washington DC is engulfed in flames. Dolley Madison races to save a priceless portrait, while an unknown clerk rescues the nation's founding documents.  Francis Scott Key witnesses Fort McHenry through the smoke and writes the words that become “The Star-Spangled Banner.”  And in New Orleans, Andrew Jackson turns personal vengeance into a stunning battlefield victory that forges a stronger American identity and reshapes his own future.

SHOW NOTES: World Cup attendance and revenues are disappointing. That's hardly surprising. The hype and publicity and exaggerated claims create a level of expectation that's hard to support, and the inflated prices of everything from hot dogs to hotel rooms is absurd. This kind of insistence on constantly "topping" what's come before exists with Super Bowl halftime shows, entertainment award shows (they are proliferating in number as well as production extremes), parades for any variety of causes, political rallies, and even fundraising. The more the pressure to "better" and "outdo" the past attempts as a metric of current success, the more you're prone to fall short. No one has ever sung the Star Spangled Banner better than Whitney Houston, so stop trying to create a canonical version, and just sing the song. Tom Brady wasn't trying to be better than Joe Montana or Johnny Unitas, just the best quarterback he could be.Picasso was just trying to be Picasso. They're wondering why attendance is down when a train ticket was $15 is now $150 to get to the Meadowlands in New Jersey from Penn Station in Manhattan, and it can cost as much as $175 to park at Gillette Stadium on Foxboro, MA for the World Cup (where it's $50 for Patriot game). The road to excess had a lot of potholes.

From Apple News In Conversation: The United States turns 250 years old this summer — and there’s no shortage of ways to mark the moment.

There is no shortage of books on music and politics, but Anna Harwell Celenza explores an interesting premise in her book On the Record: Music that Changed America (Norton, 2026). Each of the twelve chapters discusses a different instance when music, as Celenza writes, “sparked debates in the halls of Congress.” Arranged basically chronologically, Celenza tackles some of the most powerful and contentious issues in twentieth and twenty-first century American politics. From censorship to copyright law; from the Civil Rights Movement, to foreign policy during Apartheid, Celenza traces the extraordinary moments when music moved Congress, challenged power, and united people around shared ideals. The stories Celenza tells are just as much about music including the intertwined histories of “The Star Spangled Banner” and “Lift Every Voice and Sing” or the making of Paul Simon's album Graceland, as they are about US legislation or American politics. She offers readers a history of America heard through the songs and compositions that changed its course. Learn more about your ad choices.

The NBA (and NHL) Finals are in the books, but we didn't know that when we recorded this episode! Instead, we got to see NBA fans acting foolish in beating up other people, and this happened both in New York and San Antonio against Spurs and Knicks fans, respectively. Why are we letting laundry dictate our behavior?Plus, it's the beginning of the World Cup! What a great time. We also dive into the sad vibes that occur after being egged, Blink-182 dropping "new" bonus tracks from 25 years ago, and very wholesome moments during performances of the World Series.Referenced in this episode:A fun Star Fox 64 channelMo Cheeks helping Natalie Gilbert sing The Star-Spangled Banner before a Blazers game

Is America back, baby? It sure feels like it. From the noise of the arena to the perfection of pitch, that Anthem was one of the best, and we're playing it here.

The Andy Riesmeyer Show Hour 3 (6.12) In the 8 p.m. hour, Andy and the crew check the latest USA vs Paraguay score in the FIFA World Cup (no spoilers!) while debating what truly makes you an Angelino — is it spotting an A-list celebrity, or is it that inevitable awkward encounter with Andy Dick or Ron Jeremy? The crew plays a lively round of Solo to Solo, where callers try to guess the artist, guitarist, and song, right after Dan + Shay nailed the Star-Spangled Banner at the big FIFA game. Andy catches up with his KTLA colleague Samantha Cortese, who survived the chaos of Hollywood to cover David Beckham getting his star on the Walk of Fame. The hour wraps with Disney Cruise Lines cracking down on over-the-top cabin decorations and limiting guests to just one bottle of wine (because apparently, we’re all Disney adults now), before circling back to the legendary “lot lizard” conversation. Pure chaotic fun as only Andy can deliver. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

C'est récemment, très récemment, que les institutions officielles des Etats-Unis se sont résignées à choisir leur hymne national.Cet épisode passionnant nous replonge au cœur du conflit entre les États-Unis et le Royaume-Uni au début du XIXe siècle. En août 1814, les troupes britanniques entrent dans Washington et saccagent le Capitole ainsi que la Maison du Président. Mais derrière cet épisode tragique se cache l'origine de l'hymne national américain, "The Star-Spangled Banner".Franck Ferrand nous entraîne dans les rues de la capitale américaine alors que la menace britannique se profile à l'horizon. Nous suivons les mouvements du major général Robert Ross, chargé par Londres d'anéantir cette jeune république. Ses hommes mettent le feu au Capitole et à la Maison du Président, alors que le gouvernement a fui la ville.Mais au même moment, un jeune avocat du Maryland, Francis Scott Key, se trouve pris au piège sur un navire britannique. Il assiste impuissant au bombardement du fort McHenry par la flotte anglaise. C'est là qu'il trouve l'inspiration pour écrire les paroles de ce qui deviendra l'hymne national américain, "The Star-Spangled Banner".Franck Ferrand nous plonge dans les coulisses de la genèse de ce chant patriotique, devenu l'un des plus célèbres au monde. Il revient sur les tensions entre les États-Unis et la Grande-Bretagne, qui ont conduit à cette guerre de 1812. Il nous fait également découvrir le parcours de Francis Scott Key, ce poète du dimanche qui a immortalisé l'héroïsme des soldats américains face à l'envahisseur britannique.Cet épisode captivant nous rappelle que l'histoire d'un hymne national peut être intimement liée aux soubresauts d'un pays. Un récit passionnant qui nous fait voyager à travers les pages de l'histoire américaine

It's Friday, May 15th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Vietnamese Communists arrest four Christians On May 12th, Vietnamese Communist authorities arrested four clergy and lay leaders accused of sharing documentation of human rights abuses online, reports Christian Solidarity Worldwide. The group was also indicted for associating with Dr Nguyễn Đình Thắng, the president of Boat People SOS, a Vietnamese-American human rights group, who was sentenced to 11 years in prison in absentia in April on false terrorism charges for his alleged role in the 2023 Dak Lak uprising.  While two of the four were released, the others remain behind bars. Psalm 23:4 says, “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for You, [God], are with me; Your rod and staff, they comfort me.” China's Jinping warns Trump about Taiwan On May 14th, Chinese President Xi Jinping warned U.S. President Donald Trump that the two countries could clash over Taiwan if the issue was not handled properly, reports the Associated Press. The exchange at a highly anticipated summit in Beijing underscored just how far apart Trump and Jinping remain on thorny issues, including the war in Iran, trade disputes and Washington's relations with Taiwan, which is self-ruled but which China claims as part of its territory. The pair met for about two hours behind closed doors at the Great Hall of the People after an elaborate welcome ceremony featuring booming cannons, a band playing “The Star-Spangled Banner” and China's national anthem, and hundreds of school children waving flowers and American and Chinese flags. President Trump's opening remarks were optimistic. TRUMP: “President Xi, I want to thank you very much. We've had a fantastic relationship. We've gotten along. When there were difficulties, we worked it out. I would call you, and you would call me, and whenever we had a problem, people don't know, whenever we had a problem, we worked it out very quickly. “I have such respect for China, the job you've done. You're a great leader. I say it to everybody. You're a great leader. Sometimes people don't like me saying it, but I say it anyway, because it's true. I only say the truth. “And I just want to say on behalf of all of the great delegation that we have. We have the greatest businessmen. Every single one of them. We asked the top 30 in the world. Every single one of them said, ‘Yes,' and they look forward to trade and doing business. It's going to be totally reciprocal on our behalf. It's an honor to be with you. “It's an honor to be your friend. The relationship between China and the USA is going to be better than ever before.” Trump's pick for Federal Reserve Chairman confirmed President Trump's pick to lead the Federal Reserve won Senate confirmation on May 13th, just in time to officially take over as the leader of the central bank, reports National Public Radio. Trump is hoping Kevin Warsh can lead the Fed into much lower interest rates — but the president could be frustrated by persistent inflation. Warsh was confirmed on a 54-45 vote, mostly along party lines. Prior to the vote, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a Republican from South Dakota, spoke from the Senate floor and shared an overview of Kevin Warsh's biography and questioned why the Democrats have objected to his nomination. THUNE: “He credits his knowledge of the real economy to growing up in upstate New York, where his dad ran a children's clothing store and manufacturing company. From Shaker High School, he went on to Stanford University and then Harvard Law School. He then started a career on Wall Street, but he shifted to public service, joining the Bush administration's economic policy team in 2002. “Four years later, President Bush nominated him to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. At age 35, Kevin Warsh was unanimously confirmed here in the Senate and became the youngest governor in the history of the Federal Reserve. Being the youngest person to take a seat in the Federal Reserve's boardroom is impressive enough, but Kevin Warsh didn't just take a seat. He was a key player during the time he was on the board. “Kevin Warsh seems to have just the profile of a Federal Reserve Chairman, yet Democrats oppose his nomination. For the first time in its history, the Banking Committee reported out a nominee for Fed chairman on a party line vote because every single Democrat opposed Mr. Warsh's nomination, and actually only one Democrat was even present for the vote. “The other 10 Democrats on the Banking Committee didn't even bother to show up for it. I wish I could say I'm surprised, but this is just how bad Trump Derangement Syndrome has gotten on the other side of the aisle. Democrats won't say so, but that's what it is.” Kevin Warsh has argued there's room to lower rates, but he also promised to use his own judgment in setting monetary policy — and not to take orders from the White House. Warsh denied charges from Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts that he would be Trump's "sock puppet." Warsh will replace Jerome Powell, who has led the Fed since 2018. Although Trump appointed Powell to the job, he has relentlessly criticized the outgoing Fed chairman for not moving more aggressively to lower borrowing costs. Powell's term as chairman ends today. In a break with tradition, Powell will remain on the Fed's governing board for a period of time after stepping down as chairman. That's unusual since Fed chairs typically leave the central bank when their term as the head is done. But Powell is determined to safeguard the institution from political pressure. He has vowed to keep a low profile and not overshadow Warsh. But Powell will continue to have a vote on the 12-member committee that sets interest rates. Missionary John Vassar commissioned as evangelist And finally, on May 15, 1850, John Vassar—often referred to as "Uncle" John—was formally commissioned as an evangelist for the American Tract Society of New York. Following a distinct conversion experience at the age of 28, Vassar left his family's prominent brewing business in Poughkeepsie, New York, to dedicate his life to soul-winning.  As an agent for the American Tract Society, he traveled extensively, selling and distributing Christian literature. Known for his intense earnestness, he was described as a "living fire" who would ask everyone he met about their relationship with Christ. He became one of the most powerful personal evangelists of the 19th century.  Isaiah 52:7 says, “How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, ‘Your God reigns!'” Later in John Vassar's career, in 1863, he was commissioned to work among soldiers during the Civil War. Upon being captured, he famously asked Confederate General Jeb Stuart, "General, do you love Jesus?"

It's super common for a country to have a national anthem. That's an official song that is sung at special events and is supposed to bring people together. The United States of America's anthem is called The Star Spangled Banner. But it took a long time, and a lot of contests, to choose that song. Join Joy and co-host TK as they learn the history of this famously hard to sing song. Plus they tackle an all new First Things First. Guest: Billy Coleman, Associate Director of the Kinder Institute, and historian who studies early American music and politics. Click here to read a transcript of this episode.

Susan Tedeschi may have been born and raised in Boston, but she's forged a deep and lasting connection to Southern culture. She grew up on blues, gospel, and soul music before eventually embarking on a career that brought all those influences together, making her one of the most exciting voices in modern rock and roll. She's also spent more than 25 years in Jacksonville, Florida, where she and her husband and musical partner, Derek Trucks, have raised a family and built something truly special together. As the Tedeschi Trucks Band, they've united Susan's talents as a singer, songwriter, and musician with Derek's supernatural abilities on slide guitar. Now, they have a new record out called Future Soul, one of their best to date. Sid and Susan talk about the album, the family dynamic that's kept their band together for 16 years, and a particularly fun gig they have on the horizon. On Saturday, May 2, Susan and Derek will perform the “Star Spangled Banner” at the 152nd running of the Kentucky Derby.

It's Friday, April 24th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Ugandan evangelist stabbed to death by Muslims Suspected Muslim extremists, posing as taxi drivers on April 9th, killed a Christian evangelist in central Uganda, Africa shortly after he preached at a Gospel event, reports Morning Star News. They beat and stabbed Alfred Kitenga at about 9:30 p.m. along the Northern Bypass in the Wakiso District, after he and his wife, Anna Grace, were returning home from preaching in Kampala, the Ugandan capital. One local church leader said, “This is a painful loss for the body of Christ.” In John 15:19, Jesus said, "If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you." Iran says first Strait of Hormuz toll revenues banked Hamidreza Hajibabaei, the deputy speaker of Iran's parliament, claimed that Iran, not the United States, was now making demands after the first revenues for newly implemented tolls on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz were deposited into Iran's central bank, reports MSN. During a public gathering in the western city of Kuhdasht, ABC News reported that he said, "We have control over this Strait. If the United States continues on its current course, no vessels will pass through the Strait of Hormuz. We are not engaged in negotiations -- rather, we are making demands." The Strait of Hormuz, which serves as a vital waterway for trade along the Persian Gulf, is responsible for an estimated 20% of the world's oil supply traveling through. The blockade has led to soaring gas prices in the United States as the price of oil surpassed $100 per barrel multiple times. Trump orders U.S. Navy to shoot and kill any boat placing mines On Thursday, President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. military to “shoot and kill” any boat caught putting mines in the Strait of Hormuz, as his administration ramps up mine-clearing efforts in the critical waterway, reports TheHill.com. He added, “Additionally, our mine ‘sweepers' are clearing the Strait right now. I am hereby ordering that activity to continue, but at a tripled-up level!” Trump retrieves 10-year-old child from Cuba in transgender drama The Trump administration took the unusual step this week of sending a government plane to Cuba to return a 10-year-old boy from Utah who is at the center of a complicated and contentious custody fight involving the child's gender identity, reports NBC News. The boy's 42-year-old father, Mr. Ethington, who is pretending to be a woman himself, is accused of taking his son to Cuba without the permission from the biological mother, with whom he has shared custody. Federal and state authorities sought the return of the boy after a family member expressed concern that Mr. Ethington went to Havana, Cuba to get gender transition surgery for the boy. Mr. Ethington was arrested along with his 32-year-old partner, Blue, and charged in the U.S. with international parental kidnapping. The couple traveled with the boy to Canada, ostensibly for a camping trip in late March with Blue's 3-year-old child. However, the two adults deviously turned off their phones, after telling the older child's mother they'd arrived in Canada. Then, they flew from Vancouver to Mexico and then to Cuba on April 1. Navy secretary fired after feud over Trump's ‘Golden Fleet' with Pentagon leaders Secretary of the Navy John Phelan was fired on April 22nd after months of feuding with his Pentagon bosses, particularly over his handling of President Trump's “Golden Fleet” shipbuilding initiative, reports the New York Post. Tensions among Phelan, War Secretary Pete Hegseth and Deputy War Secretary Stephen Feinberg had been simmering for months. According to one GOP source, Phelan's leadership style was “incongruent” with Hegseth and Feinberg. The source said, “The administration really wanted to accelerate the shipbuilding program because of the president's agenda … and the secretary seemed incapable of accomplishing those goals, and he wasn't well-liked. When you combine incompetence with arrogance, it usually doesn't end well.” Deputy War Secretary Feinberg had been gradually diverting responsibility for the major project away from Phelan, the New York Times reported.  Hung Cao, the Naval undersecretary, is now set to replace him. Virginia voters gave 10 of 11 Congressional seats to Democrats On Tuesday, the Virginia Democrat officials successfully convinced voters to narrowly approve a constitutionally questionable redistricting push to give 10 out of the 11 U.S. congressional seats to the Democrats, a change that one judge ruled to be unconstitutional, reports ABC News. The Democrats had previously held 6 Congressional seats in Virginia. Florida's possible redistricting could help ensure more GOP seats In light of the Virginia election, the red state of Florida is now in the spotlight, reports JustTheNews. In the Sunshine State, Republican Governor Ron DeSantis is spearheading an effort to redraw their state's congressional districts before the midterm elections. That would help to ensure the Republicans could retain their majority in the House, and can fully implement President Trump's agenda. Another medical emergency uncovered at Colorado Planned Parenthood Yet another medical emergency was spotted this month at a Colorado Planned Parenthood abortion mill with a checkered history on patient safety, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Operation Rescue reported that an ambulance was spotted on April 10 arriving at the Fort Collins Planned Parenthood. The EMS radio dispatch revealed that a 19-year-old woman came in a day after her abortion complaining of chest pains. The EMS' use of the code “Charlie Medical” indicated fears that the situation was potentially life-threatening. Abortion mills across the country are regularly flagged for harming mothers through botched abortions, unsanitary tools and environments, and lack of regulatory protections such as requirements for staff to secure admitting privileges at nearby hospitals in the event of complications. The birth of the “In God We Trust” motto And finally, on April 22nd,1864, the motto "In God We Trust," which was conceived during the American Civil War, first appeared on American coinage. By a joint resolution of Congress, it was adopted as our national motto in 1956, replacing the previous one: “Out of many, one.” In 1814, Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner, including this seldom heard fourth verse, which references the importance of trusting God as a nation. Listen. “O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand Between their lov'd home and the war's desolation! Blest with vict'ry and peace may the Heav'n rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserv'd us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto - "In God is our trust," And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave” (applause and cheers) Psalm 33:12 says, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He chose for His inheritance."

Some episodes of The Rizzuto Show start light and goofy… and some start with a story that makes everyone immediately uncomfortable before we pivot straight into ridiculous trivia battles. Guess which one this is.The gang kicks things off talking about the disturbing case of former Florissant police officer Julian Alcala, who was sentenced after abusing routine traffic stops to search through women's phones and steal private photos. What started as normal traffic stops turned into a massive invasion of privacy affecting multiple victims, and the crew reacts the only way a morning show can: equal parts disbelief, anger, and “how could someone possibly think they'd get away with that?” The sentencing sparks a real conversation about power, accountability, and why some people absolutely should never be trusted with a badge. It's a heavy story—but unfortunately a real one.But this is still The Rizzuto Show, which means after the serious talk, the show takes a hard left turn into chaos with Match Up With Moon. If you've never heard this segment, imagine a trivia contest where the contestants know just enough to be confidently wrong. Riz and Moon go head-to-head answering questions that spiral into debates about fossils, Prince Harry's real name, the Star-Spangled Banner, and whether “bunnies” is an acceptable scientific term for baby rabbits.Things get even messier when the questions get historical, royal, and oddly military. Somehow the gang ends up debating the world's largest air forces, royal wedding dates, and whether King Scott is secretly trying to sabotage everyone with trick questions. The logic gets questionable, the guesses get worse, and the competitive trash-talk ramps up.Of course, there are also listeners playing along live for concert tickets and show prizes, meaning the pressure is on… and the answers only get more ridiculous as the game goes on.If you like weird news, trivia disasters, sarcastic banter, and a group of grown adults arguing about things they're only 60% sure about, congratulations—you've found your people. That's exactly what this comedy podcast delivers every day.Between the bizarre news story, the brain-melting trivia showdown, and the usual sarcastic commentary from the crew, this episode is a perfect snapshot of the daily chaos that makes The Rizzuto Show one of the most unpredictable shows on the radio. Whether you're here for the laughs, the weird stories, or just to feel smarter than the hosts, this comedy podcast has you covered.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
