Last updated: August 27, 2026 Trusted by leaders at Stanford University, Ernst & Young, Autodesk, MGM Grand Resorts, and Farmers Insurance Executive Summary: Most women leaders avoid difficult conversations to protect relationships — and that avoidance is what actually destroys trust. StoneAge CEO Kerry Siggins built the six-step SHARES framework after a piece of brutal feedback changed her leadership. Here's exactly how it works. Quick Takeaways: Difficult conversations delayed almost always get harder, not easier, over time The SHARES framework has six steps you can prepare in under ten minutes Organizations with regular feedback see 14.9% lower turnover rates Wanting to "be right" is the single biggest killer of workplace trust Feedback without a credible next step leaves people hopeless, not motivated Jump to: Why It Happens · The SHARES Framework · Examples · Action Plan · FAQ As an executive leadership coach with over 30 years of experience (MA, MFT, PCC) working with Fortune 50–1000 companies, I hear the same confession from brilliant, accomplished women leaders almost every week: "I know I need to have this conversation. I just keep putting it off." If you've been carrying a difficult conversation you haven't had yet — with a direct report, a peer, a boss, even a spouse — you are in very good company, and it is costing you more than you think. On this episode of the Women's Leadership Success Podcast, I sat down with Kerry Siggins, CEO of StoneAge (an employee-owned manufacturer of high-pressure water jetting equipment) and author of the new book Talk With Trust: How to Own Feedback, Spark Growth, and Build Stronger Teams. Kerry built her career on hard conversations — including one that nearly ended her leadership before it began. What she learned from it became the SHARES framework, a six-step system for women leaders navigating difficult conversations without torching the relationship in the process. Take the 2-minute survey at WomensLeadershipSuccess.com/survey Why Women Leaders Avoid Difficult Conversations — And What It Actually Costs Nobody avoids a hard conversation because they're lazy. Women leaders avoid difficult conversations because they're afraid of the consequence: a damaged relationship, an angry reaction, a reputation for being "too much." As Kerry put it on the show, "We're all not having a conversation that we know we need to have because we're afraid of the consequences." The problem is that the consequence of silence is almost always worse than the consequence of speaking. The research backs this up. Recent workplace data shows organizations with regular employee feedback see 14.9% lower turnover, while highly engaged teams — the kind built through honest dialogue — report 21% greater profitability (Careertrainer.ai, 2026). On the trust side, the numbers are sobering: employer trust fell to 76% in the 2025 Edelman Trust Barometer, and a 21-point gap now separates how much executives trust their organizations (91%) versus how much individual contributors do (70%). Every unspoken conversation widens that gap. Kerry's own turning point came from a conversation she didn't get to control. Her COO — her right-hand operational partner — had been quietly building resentment for a year. It came out in a blowup: "You think you're this inspiring CEO who disrupts the industry, but really what you are is erratic, and you're really hard to work for." Kerry's instinct was to fire him on the spot. Instead, she went home and sat with it. That single piece of painful, poorly-delivered feedback became the foundation for Talk With Trust — and for the SHARES framework she now teaches leaders everywhere. Your team is asking themselves this question constantly, whether they say it out loud or not: can I trust you? I broke this down recently on LinkedIn into three pillars — and it's the exact groundwork that makes a framework like SHARES actually work, instead of just sounding good on paper. Trust isn't built in one big moment. It's built in the small moments people learn they can count on you. — Sabrina Braham, MA, MFT, PCC Notice how closely this maps to what goes wrong in most difficult conversations. Performance trust breaks when someone overpromises or makes excuses instead of owning a miss. Authenticity trust breaks when someone says what people want to hear instead of what's true, or hides a mistake to protect their image — the exact trap Kerry's "articulate your experience" step is built to avoid. And reliability trust breaks when standards shift with someone's mood, or follow-through only happens when it's convenient — which is precisely why the SHARES framework's final step, endorsing a path forward, matters so much: a plan you don't follow through on costs you more trust than no plan at all. This is the same shift Kerry made the day she got called "erratic" — she stopped waiting to feel ready to lead differently and just did it. The SHARES Framework: Six Steps for Difficult Conversations That Build Trust SHARES is a simple, repeatable system women leaders can use to prepare for any hard conversation — a performance issue, a peer conflict, a hard truth with a boss, even a conversation with a spouse. Each letter is a step you move through, in order. S — Specify Your Ideal Outcome Before you say a word, get clear on what you actually want from this conversation. Not "to be right" — an actual outcome. "I want to keep this relationship strong. I want to see behavior change. I want this to build trust, not break it." Kerry's insight: most difficult conversations go sideways because neither person has named the outcome they're going for. Stating it out loud — even to yourself — changes everything that follows. H — Have Your Facts and Feelings Ready Facts alone feel cold and clinical. Feelings alone feel like an ambush. You need both: the observable behavior ("you were late to this meeting") and the impact it had ("we waited, and had to repeat ourselves for you, which was frustrating for the team"). Preparing both in advance also does something else important — it gives you time to calm down before you walk into the room. A — Articulate Your Experience This is the step Kerry calls her favorite, because it's the one most leaders get subtly wrong. "I feel like you don't respect me" still sounds like a judgment wearing an I-statement disguise. Articulating your experience instead sounds like: "I'd like to share my experience of this situation. The story I'm telling myself is that you don't respect me — and I want to check whether that's accurate. What was your experience?" Owning your perspective as a perspective, not a verdict, opens the door instead of slamming it. R — Reflect With Questions and Dialogue The goal of any difficult conversation isn't to be right — it's to be accurate. And the only way to get accurate is to ask questions and actually stay in dialogue. Kerry shared a story of giving tough feedback to an employee who wasn't a direct report. Rather than delivering a verdict, she asked what was going on. What she learned changed the entire conversation — from correction to genuine understanding, without letting go of accountability. E — Endorse a Path Forward Feedback without a credible next step doesn't motivate people — it leaves them hopeless. Kerry described a boss early in her career who told her she wasn't getting in front of decision-makers and to "come back with a plan." She didn't know how to fix it and didn't feel safe saying so. She eventually quit. Now she builds the path forward together with the other person: What are you trying? What's working? What isn't? That collaborative plan is what turns feedback into change — and what creates real accountability without punishment. S — Stay Emotionally Grounded People tend to mirror the emotional energy in the room. If you walk in braced and defensive, you'll get braced and defensive back. Kerry's practice: feel your feet on the floor, take a breath, and become "the mirror that calms people down" rather than the one that escalates them. Staying grounded doesn't mean suppressing emotion in the other person — it means giving them room to have their reaction without matching it. SHARES in Practice: Three Real Application Examples The promotion conversation. A director wants to raise her hand for a VP role but suspects her boss has reservations. Using SHARES, she opens with her outcome ("I want clarity on what would make me ready for this role"), shares the facts of her track record alongside how the uncertainty has felt, then asks reflective questions instead of defending her resume — walking out with an actual development plan instead of vague reassurance. The peer conflict. Two directors keep clashing in cross-functional meetings. Instead of escalating to their shared VP, one initiates a SHARES conversation: names the outcome (a working relationship that doesn't derail meetings), articulates her experience without accusation, and asks what's driving the friction from the other side. They leave with a path forward neither would have found by avoiding the topic. The marriage parallel. As I shared with Kerry on the show, this isn't only a workplace tool. Simply naming the outcome you want at the start of a hard conversation with a spouse — "I want us to leave this in a better place" — changes the entire trajectory before either person says another word. You don't have to figure this out alone.

Welcome to Missouri, where the booze is conveniently located, the dispensaries are plentiful, and buying a car on Sunday is apparently where society decided to establish some boundaries.Episode 41 kicks off with Rizz and Moon embracing their new identities as BMW owners ahead of a BMW-sponsored golf tournament. Surely the logo on the hood counts as a parking credential, right? Lern attempts to explain concepts like “parking passes” and “hang tags,” but luxury has changed these men. They've seen the badge. They know what they're worth now.From there, this comedy podcast investigates what outsiders notice when they first arrive in Missouri. Is it the rolling green landscape? The hills? The beautiful scenery? Nope. It's the ability to walk into a grocery store and buy hard liquor like a civilized Midwesterner.A woman new to Missouri is stunned by the accessibility of alcohol and recreational weed, which sends the crew down a rabbit hole of grocery-store liquor laws across America. Apparently some states still make you visit a separate store to purchase booze. We assume residents there spend their evenings staring sadly toward Missouri and wondering where freedom went wrong.But Missouri has its limits.You can buy liquor. You can visit a dispensary. You can apparently grab a tall boy at a gas station with concerning ease. But if you want to purchase a car on Sunday? Absolutely not, you lawless animal.The discovery of Missouri's “blue law” leads to another revelation: Lern and Rafe enjoy wandering dealership lots on Sundays specifically because the salespeople aren't there. Rizz finds this behavior completely alien because, according to Rizz, he loves human interaction. Moon immediately requests that the program stop lying to its audience.Then it's time for workplace rage.A leaked video of former Detroit news anchor Taryn Asher berating a colleague launches a debate over losing your temper at work, professionalism, double standards and whether one meltdown should define somebody's career. Naturally, this means revisiting some of broadcasting and Hollywood's most legendary freak-outs.Chris Berman gets angry. Christian Bale goes nuclear. Bill O'Reilly encounters the phrase “to play us out” and briefly enters another dimension.The crew debates whether these blowups are understandable high-pressure moments or just adults being terrible to coworkers. Lern also shares her own battles against studio technology, proving once again that the greatest threat to morning radio isn't declining attention spans—it's a computer deciding at 5 a.m. that today feels like a good day to die.Then Crap on Celebrities arrives with some genuinely sad rock news: longtime ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard has died at 77. The crew looks back at the band's massive career, their unmistakable Texas blues-rock sound, their MTV-era reinvention and the scientific fact that putting on a ZZ Top song makes you approximately 34% more likely to feel capable of winning a bar fight.It also raises an important question nobody else was brave enough to investigate: Has anyone ever seen ZZ Top wearing shorts?The comedy podcast rolls deeper into entertainment chaos with Nick Jonas revealing that he completely bombed his audition for Frozen after arriving unprepared, Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan expanding his Arizona empire with a sushi restaurant and apparently carrying the same pair of traveling chopsticks for decades, updates surrounding Tupac's murder trial, new Queens of the Stone Age music, and the planned return of Ozzfest.The celebrity pile continues with Robin Williams' children fighting AI-generated impersonations of their father and reactivating his official Instagram account as a source for authentic material. The crew also looks ahead to Dune: Part Three sharing a release weekend with Avengers: Doomsday, because movie theaters apparently decided December needed its own traffic apocalypse.David Krumholtz says he's stepping away from acting after more than 30 years in Hollywood, which leads everyone into the great “I know that guy!” exercise before the conversation turns toward the tiny club of movies that have crossed $1 billion worldwide.That becomes a game of guessing the biggest box-office monsters before pivoting into actors whose careers were revived by one huge role: John Travolta in Pulp Fiction, Robert Downey Jr. in Iron Man, Keanu Reeves in John Wick, Brendan Fraser in The Whale, Bruce Willis in Die Hard and more.By the end, we've covered BMW privilege, Missouri liquor laws, empty car dealerships, workplace tantrums, ZZ Top, celebrity news, AI, Dune, billion-dollar movies and celebrity birthdays.And just when you think the show has reached the absolute peak of intellectual discourse, Rizz teases what's coming next:A school has a fart corner.Education is healing.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.

Hump Day arrives with a surprise nobody saw coming—especially King Scott, who walked into what he thought was another perfectly normal Hubbard Radio meeting and instead found a full-blown baby shower waiting for him. Balloons? Check. Barbecue? Absolutely. Enough diapers to make every parent in the room experience a traumatic flashback? You bet. Lern deserves special recognition for successfully stalling King Scott by basically throwing every conversational emergency she could think of at him until the surprise was ready. Nothing suspicious about suddenly needing to discuss your entire medical history and possibly the Old Testament inside a radio booth.Then Rafe reports back from Outlaw Music Festival, where his long-running mission to get aboard Willie Nelson's tour bus once again encountered the minor obstacle of Willie Nelson being protected like the President of Texas. Rafe breaks down the impressive lineup, including Stephen Wilson Jr., Things somehow get more uncomfortable when Rizz shares some old high-school gossip involving a former student eventually dating one of her former teachers. That launches a much bigger conversation about age differences, authority, small-town dating pools and exactly how long after graduation something stops being weird. Listener stories arrive to make everything substantially less comfortable. Mission accomplished.Meanwhile, Walmart drone deliveries are heading toward parts of the St. Louis area, and Maplewood residents have questions about noise, birds, hacking, air traffic and whether Grandma really needs groceries descending from the heavens. There's also concern over the future of a historic Webster Groves theater, plus the incredible story of a mystery semi driver who stopped a van traveling the wrong way on I-70 and then apparently returned to his truck without waiting around for a parade. Finally, the crew discovers which car brand has some of the worst drivers, and BMW owners—including people conveniently sitting inside the studio—are forced to absorb a statistically assisted roasting involving turn signals, hair transplants, crypto and enough stereotypes to void the warranty.Rizz and Moon embracing their new identities as BMW owners ahead of a BMW-sponsored golf tournament.

Some have quiet corners. One brave educator looked at her classroom and decided what these children really needed was a designated fart corner.The concept is simple: if a kid needs to let one rip, they walk over to a specific corner of the classroom, handle their business, spray a little air freshener and quietly return to their seat while supposedly “nobody pays attention.”Thankfully, St. Louis Blues broadcaster Chris Kerber joins the show to restore professionalism.That launches a full discussion about helicopter parenting, college move-in season and parents asking Facebook whether their 18-year-old should wear a robe or a towel back from the dorm shower. Chris and Moon agree on a revolutionary parenting strategy: sometimes your adult child can figure stuff out.Rizz is preparing to take his 16-year-old to tour the University of Arkansas, so Kerber offers actual useful advice among the chaos: check out the dorms, investigate the dining options and pay attention to whether the campus simply feels right.The hockey talk continues with the newly unveiled St. Louis Blues promotional calendar, including the upcoming Rizz Show Night jacket, which might legitimately be one of the best giveaways the show has done. Kerber breaks down the limited nature of theme-night tickets, the upcoming shortened NHL preseason and the excitement building around the new season.A former escort and sugar baby writes in after hearing the crew's previous conversations about dating for money and offers to answer their questions. Naturally, the room immediately generates approximately 700 of them. How much money? What was off-limits? Was sex always involved? How do repeat arrangements end? When do you tell a serious partner about that part of your past? Did you feel safe? Did you pay taxes?Pasta enters the arena. Chocolate-chip cookies arrive, although Moon repeatedly describing his ideal cookie as “wet” and “sweaty” causes unnecessary suffering. Lern chooses cake. Rafe starts negotiating the definition of pasta. Donuts make a late push. Rizz eventually lands on pizza.The rules get debated harder than most federal legislation before the conversation arrives at the true battleground: National Potato Day.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.Maplewood and St. Charles hear Walmart drone delivery pitchTrucker hailed as hero after I-70 wrong-way scareBest and Worst Drivers by Brand: 2026 ReportDetroit TV anchor caught on video calling her boss a ‘bitch' in profanity-laced newsroom blowupCould Lettuce Make Plant-Based Meat Taste More Like the Real Thing?

Rizz officially turned 48, which means it's time to celebrate the only way responsible middle-aged adults know how: announce that birthdays are stupid, eat olives, drink approximately nine birthday beers, stay out until 1:45 in the morning and immediately begin discussing whether birthdays should be banned altogether next year.Lern returns from Nashville after one of her favorite trips with Tim, complete with cowboy boots, Broadway people-watching and a Foo Fighters show at Nissan Stadium that was approximately three degrees cooler than walking directly into a pizza oven. She missed Queens of the Stone Age thanks to dinner running late and a forgotten phone, but made it for Foo Fighters, Shane West randomly appearing during the band's trip through its members' musical histories, and a romantic finish listening from the pedestrian bridge while fireworks went off. Cute. Disgusting. We're happy for them.Guns N' Roses had their own weather problems when storms forced the band to shorten the Busch Stadium show. Naturally, this leads to the important journalistic question: if you're Guns N' Roses and rain is coming, HOW DO YOU NOT IMMEDIATELY PLAY “NOVEMBER RAIN”? We don't make the rules. Actually, apparently neither do they.Pin-Up Bowl goes from Rizz worrying nobody will show up to being absolutely packed. The special Dangler beer flows freely. Rizz receives spaghetti-and-meatball dangler earrings, another signed Don Mattingly baseball and a massive strawberry birthday cake featuring a photo of Rizz with a truly breathtaking hair situation. There's bowling, questionable decisions and eventually a migration to Delmar Hall — except for Scott, whom everyone insists they didn't abandon collectively. They merely abandoned him individually.At Delmar Hall, the Blink-182 tribute brings the hits, Bangs Against the Machine brings the Rage, Rizz keeps getting handed beverages, and eventually Mrs. Rizzuto performs the evening's most important public service by shutting down the birthday shots before somebody had to replace another shower curtain.Then comes the Quincy lottery story.Rizz brings up a movie theory that sounds just believable enough to ruin your productivity for the next hour: could The Goonies and Back to the Future take place on the exact same day?Back to the Future establishes October 26, 1985. Meanwhile, clues in The Goonies appear to place its adventure right around that same Saturday. Coincidence? Intentional cinematic universe? Evidence that Chunk was one DeLorean ride away from completely destroying the space-time continuum? We investigate with exactly the level of academic rigor you'd expect from this program.Then Brian arrives with enough food to turn the studio into a French bakery: croissants, bread, ham and Swiss, smoked deviled eggs and more. This comes after the gigantic birthday cake he'd already made for Rizz, because apparently we're now trying to see whether a radio host can be defeated entirely by carbohydrates.Nate Bargatze also sets a massive comedy ticket-sales record, sending Rafe and the crew into a genuinely interesting conversation about club comedy versus arena comedy. Rafe explains why smaller rooms create that perfect pressure cooker of laughs while superstar comics eventually reach a level where playing a 200-seat club makes about as much financial sense as opening a lemonade stand inside Costco.The entertainment conversation keeps rolling into movies, celebrity stories and eventually Brad Pitt declaring that bad acting is so distracting he can't watch porn. This results in Rafe questioning Brad Pitt's acting credentials and nearly getting thrown off the show by everyone else. The crew debates whether Pitt is actually an elite actor, just exceptionally talented at playing Brad Pitt, or both.The crew surprises him with cards carefully selected to remind him that he's old, grouchy and one year closer to death. Lern gives him a Tommy Wiseau pasta spoon. Then Rafe produces Italian rainbow cookies from Sweet Seven Layers, delivered by a New York/Jersey baker who listens to the show and apparently understands exactly how to win over a “greasy meatball” birthday boy.Sweet Seven Layers has everybody losing their minds over traditional Italian rainbow cookies, pistachio and blackberry creations, cherry amaretto and enough sugar to make Moon openly admit he's buzzing. Throw in the pastries from Le Bon Boucher and we're basically broadcasting from inside a carbohydrate emergency.Sexy Time Fun Facts arrives with a legitimately groundbreaking medical story: surgeons in Vietnam successfully performed the country's first penile transplant from a brain-dead donor.What starts as an unbelievable medical headline turns into a surprisingly thoughtful conversation about organ donation, brain death and transplant ethics. Rafe brings some firsthand perspective from witnessing organ harvesting during his previous surgical work, while Moon reflects on his own recent experience being with his father at the end of his life.A ranking of all 50 states examines factors including clubs, online communities, hotels and other indicators of an active swinging lifestyle. Florida takes the top spot because Florida apparently looked at its existing reputation and decided to lean in. Missouri lands at number 20 overall, while ranking eighth for its number of physical swinger clubs.Science apparently has an answer for how much you should reveal in your dating profile. Say too little and people assume you're sketchy. Overshare every trauma you've experienced since kindergarten and romantic interest drops. The sweet spot is the “Goldilocks bio”: enough personality and detail to seem interesting without making somebody feel like they've accidentally opened your therapist's case notes.Rafe isn't particularly interested. He'd rather meet somebody naturally and “let the universe do it,” which is adorable and therefore completely unacceptable to his coworkers. Tinder, Hinge, Bumble and Raya all enter the discussion, along with stories of celebrities appearing in people's inboxes and the realization that getting Rafe approved for Raya may require more references than getting a mortgage.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.Vietnamese doctors perform nation's first successful penis transplantThe best states for swingers revealed — with a few surprising Southern states taking the top 3 spotsNew Jumbotron at Illinois High School Falls, Damages Gym During Installation on VideoSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rizz officially turned 48, which means it's time to celebrate the only way responsible middle-aged adults know how: announce that birthdays are stupid, eat olives, drink approximately nine birthday beers, stay out until 1:45 in the morning and immediately begin discussing whether birthdays should be banned altogether next year.Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, the funny podcast where one innocent weekend recap somehow requires an incident report.Lern returns from Nashville after one of her favorite trips with Tim, complete with cowboy boots, Broadway people-watching and a Foo Fighters show at Nissan Stadium that was approximately three degrees cooler than walking directly into a pizza oven. She missed Queens of the Stone Age thanks to dinner running late and a forgotten phone, but made it for Foo Fighters, Shane West randomly appearing during the band's trip through its members' musical histories, and a romantic finish listening from the pedestrian bridge while fireworks went off. Cute. Disgusting. We're happy for them.Back in St. Louis, Guns N' Roses had their own weather problems when storms forced the band to shorten the Busch Stadium show. Naturally, this leads to the important journalistic question: if you're Guns N' Roses and rain is coming, HOW DO YOU NOT IMMEDIATELY PLAY “NOVEMBER RAIN”? We don't make the rules. Actually, apparently neither do they.Rafe also reviews a nice dinner that became considerably less sophisticated when he repeatedly ate what he thought were tiny potatoes before discovering he'd housed about seven cloves of garlic. Somewhere, a vampire crossed St. Louis County off its travel plans.Then we finally get to Rizz's Birthday Bash.Pin-Up Bowl goes from Rizz worrying nobody will show up to being absolutely packed. The special Dangler beer flows freely. Rizz receives spaghetti-and-meatball dangler earrings, another signed Don Mattingly baseball and a massive strawberry birthday cake featuring a photo of Rizz with a truly breathtaking hair situation. There's bowling, questionable decisions and eventually a migration to Delmar Hall — except for Scott, whom everyone insists they didn't abandon collectively. They merely abandoned him individually.At Delmar Hall, the Blink-182 tribute brings the hits, Bangs Against the Machine brings the Rage, Rizz keeps getting handed beverages, and eventually Mrs. Rizzuto performs the evening's most important public service by shutting down the birthday shots before somebody had to replace another shower curtain.And because this funny podcast refuses to allow one story to remain normal, Rafe encounters an extremely overserved gentleman who desperately needs transportation to St. Charles — or, as his remaining functioning brain cells pronounce it, “Saint Charola's.” Rafe gets him water, security gets involved, and somehow Rafe's name becomes “Grave.” Sure. Why not.Then comes the Quincy lottery story.The crew discusses an unverified rumor surrounding the area's massive Powerball winner and questions about whether the winner's reported probation conditions could create problems claiming the jackpot. The show makes clear that the details are speculation, which naturally does absolutely nothing to prevent everyone from imagining lawyers descending on Quincy and the winner going full Brewster's Millions with jet skis, a mansion, Kid Rock and possibly an old-timey paddle boat.Birthday parties, concerts, garlic, strangers, lottery drama and enough questionable judgment to power another broadcast — just another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show.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.

What happens when old brain circuitry collides with modern tech? Are we heading into an age of abundance, and can abundance create its own psychological problems? Do we need friction in our lives to become better humans? Could curiosity become the most important survival skill of the twenty-first century? What happens to your biological neural networks when artificial neural networks do your thinking for you? Eagleman sits down with author and researcher Steven Kotler to discuss his new book, We Are As Gods.

Kid and El Pres are back in the studio, and Kid isn't exactly arriving with a clear head. A relationship he thought had long-term potential has suddenly gone quiet, leaving him trying to reconcile the comfort of believing he'd found somebody to grow old with against the reality of barely communicating at all. Beneath all the usual Goin' Deep stupidity is something considerably more sincere: the realization that the podcast has always been a place where jokes cover heavier things that don't necessarily get discussed anywhere else. Kid returns from a vintage baseball weekend where the Independents got their asses kicked, the roster looked increasingly aware of its collective age and the team captain missed the festivities after getting sick. The baseball may have been rough, but the friends weekend and general distraction were exactly what Kid needed. That leads into the other major distraction of the week: Foo Fighters in Detroit. Kid and El Pres put the show among the best concerts they've attended, with Kid comparing it against an Eagles show that still holds the championship belt in his personal concert rankings. Queen of the Stone Age gets plenty of love too, along with a tease about an old Josh Homme story involving somebody connected to the show. Then artificial intelligence takes over the studio. Kid starts demonstrating how easily old photographs can now be animated, altered and completely reinvented. An innocent old Goin' Deep studio photo slowly mutates until the original Red Eye looks like he's spent the last decade secretly training for an action movie. That sends the guys into the larger question of whether AI has made fantasy so instantly available that younger people simply aren't impressed by the things that once felt forbidden or exciting. That becomes part of a bigger generational argument. Are younger audiences really less interested in sex scenes? Did growing up with unlimited access to everything fundamentally change what feels provocative? And what happened to the traditional rock star, who once existed in a world without somebody filming every stupid decision from six feet away? El Pres is meanwhile approaching retirement and beginning to imagine life without worrying quite so much about what everybody thinks. Travel enters the picture, including Paris, London, Liverpool, Abbey Road and Ireland, while Kid argues that making those memories with his son could be worth more than anything sitting around the house. There are detours through Buc-ee's chaos, social-media personalities who may or may not resemble AI, old morality films that aged spectacularly badly, Detroit Tigers anxiety, the Dodgers tempting fate, and the strange experience of podcast listeners recognizing Kid away from the microphone and knowing considerably more about his life than expected. And finally, civilization arrives at the question philosophers were apparently too frightened to ask: Why do bangs look like a warning sign? Grok is summoned. Grok is instructed to become less polite. Grok eventually concludes that bangs represent a daily declaration of war against the forehead. That seems scientific enough for this show.

In this episode Jerry and Stably discussed The Great Leveler: Violence and the History of Inequality from the Stone Age to the Twenty-First Century by Walter Scheidel. The hosts examined Scheidel's thesis that historically, reductions in economic inequality have only occurred through four violent mechanisms: mass-mobilization warfare, transformative revolution, state collapse, and pandemic. They praised the book's meticulous, well-documented scholarship while noting its dense, repetitive style, and debated whether relative inequality (Scheidel's focus) matters as much as absolute living standards, using the Russian Revolution as a case study of leveling accompanied by catastrophic loss of wealth. They also discussed why humans psychologically fixate on inequality and whether today's disparities are comparable to historical ones. Both agreed the book rewards patience but isn't a breezy read, recommending readers focus on the introduction and conclusion if pressed for time.

This episode starts with stormy weather and surprisingly good moods before spiraling into one of those classic Rizz Show conversations where absolutely nothing stays on the rails. One minute everyone's discussing thunderstorms, Jason Sklar stopping by the show, and preparations for Rizz's upcoming birthday celebration. The next minute, an unexpected study claims that 47 is the happiest age of your life, immediately putting Rizz under the microscope as the crew debates whether he's actually become a happier human being over the years.That naturally leads to a full-on birthday debate. Are you someone who celebrates for an entire week with parties, brunches, vacations, and enough cake to feed a small town? Or are you the type who hopes nobody notices your birthday at all? The crew dives into the psychology behind birthday people versus birthday avoiders, sharing stories about how their own families handled birthdays growing up and how the show's attitude toward celebrating has completely changed over the years.Along the way, they confess the embarrassing things they learned way too late in life. From believing Elton John was blind because of his sunglasses to confusing Jimmy Buffett with Warren Buffett, nobody escapes the roast. Lauren admits her biggest regret is never paying attention in history class, while everyone else piles on with stories that somehow become even more ridiculous.Then it's time for one of the greatest grocery store discussions ever recorded. Boomers' biggest complaints about modern shopping somehow evolve into a business pitch involving off-road grocery carts, dune buggies with shopping baskets, lift kits for grabbing cereal off the top shelf, Bluetooth speakers, themed vehicles, and of course, an extensive update on the latest developments in Uncrustables technology. Yes... refrigerated Uncrustables become breaking news. Yes... everyone takes it completely seriously.The chaos keeps rolling with questionable life advice passed down from older generations, hilarious family sayings that somehow stuck forever, and a continuation of yesterday's impossible moral dilemma involving crimes, saving dogs, and making the world a better place in the weirdest ways imaginable.Later, the conversation turns surprisingly wholesome as the crew discusses new research into helping dogs live healthier, longer lives. Would you pay thousands of dollars for a few more healthy years with your best friend? Everyone has a different answer, and the discussion gets unexpectedly heartfelt before immediately swerving back into shark attacks, dangerous animals across America, and why Missouri's deadliest creature isn't nearly as exciting as you'd hope.As always, the conversation refuses to stay in one lane for more than a few minutes. That's exactly what makes this daily comedy show feel like you're hanging out with friends who accidentally turn every headline into an hour of laughs, random tangents, and conversations nobody saw coming.Whether you're here for birthday debates, grocery store adventures, ridiculous hypotheticals, weird news, celebrity mentions, or the latest in frozen sandwich innovation, Episode 49 delivers another unpredictable ride from The Rizzuto Show.Sometimes the show writes itself... and sometimes history, celebrity news, and complete nonsense all decide to show up at the exact same time.On today's episode of The Rizzuto Show, the crew kicks things off with "This Day in History," featuring everything from the first electric chair execution to the anniversary of the Enola Gay mission, classic Beatles releases, MTV nostalgia, Pineapple Express, Hamilton, and a whole lot more.

A Wisconsin man hands over the keys to his SUV so a stranded rock band can finish its tour. A father and son complete an entire year of playing catch every single day. A tiny Chihuahua's strange habit helps detect a dangerous illness before it's too late. It's the kind of start that makes you think everyone on the show is about to become better people.That feeling doesn't last long.The crew immediately launches into another round of the legendary Bean Boozled "Good or Gross" game, where listeners win concert tickets while the show risks tasting everything from rotten eggs and boogers to barf, toothpaste, dirty dishwater and dead fish. Somehow, against all odds, this becomes one of the luckiest rounds they've ever played... although luck is a relative term when toothpaste counts as a win.The conversation only gets weirder from there.How much money would you need before willingly giving up inches of your height forever? Would you become Danny DeVito-sized for a million dollars? Would you sacrifice ten inches for fifty million? The crew debates every ridiculous scenario while discovering everyone values their height a little differently.Then things unexpectedly get surprisingly honest when listener emails spark a conversation about saying "I love you" first in a relationship. How long is too long to wait for someone to say it back? What happens if they never do? One listener's real-life story turns into one of the more thoughtful discussions of the episode before everyone quickly returns to making fun of each other.Listener emails also inspire debates about fake email addresses for stores that insist on collecting your information, why prescription medications deserve cooler superhero names, and whether our parents' inability to throw anything away is simply leftover survival instinct passed down through generations.Like every daily comedy podcast, the episode bounces effortlessly between heartfelt stories, ridiculous games, bizarre hypotheticals, listener interaction and nonstop sarcastic commentary that somehow keeps the entire morning moving.Whether you're here for the disgusting Bean Boozled reactions, the hilarious debates, the weird listener emails or simply looking for your next daily comedy podcast, Episode 158 delivers another completely unpredictable morning with The Rizzuto Show. If your favorite kind of entertainment is watching grown adults argue about shrinking themselves for millions of dollars while trying not to throw up from jelly beans that taste like fish, congratulations—you've found your people.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Why 47 is the age you hit peak happiness, according to sciencePeople Are Sharing The One Thing They Learned Way Late In Life, And It's Hilariously RelatableUncrustables Just Made A Big Change That PB&J People Will AppreciateWild list shows which animal is most likely to kill you based on the state you live inMillennials Are Sharing The Worst Advice They've Ever Received From Boomers And My Mouth Is AgapeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Spooky this morning with a bunch of fog settling in. Should warm up later and be rather nice. Look for some showers & possible thunderstorms tomorrow night, however. It's Hypothetical Thursday…where we ask each other hypothetical questions. Jean went first this morning and her question for Brian was: " " Brian's question for Jean was: "If you could get $50,000 in cash for every inch of height you lose…how tall would you be?" Office Cora also joined us just after 8am to let us know what she's up to in the 715 this weekend. And we also sang "Happy Birthday" to her as she celebrated her b-day earlier this week. In the news this morning, an update on the Nolan Wells case, a recall on jalapenos, the latest on Perez Hilton, a non-profit in Wisconsin bails out a bunch of the Madison protestors, and have you seen the Jiu Jitsu nurse??? In sports, the Brewers beat the Pirates again last night, a new winner at the WSOP, a Mets rookie does the Superhero landing after his first career strikeout, Stefon Diggs is signing with the Commanders, Jalon Walker's season is over, and Aaron Donald is getting closer to making a comeback in the NFL. We talked about what's on TV & streaming today. Plus, the Queens of the Stone Age had a complaint line, Charlie Sheen is launching a podcast, Disney has already sold all the Super Bowl ads, and a new documentary about OJ Simpson's failed "Juiced" show is coming out. A guy who survived a shark attack in the Bahamas is welcomed home by his friends & neighbors, and a 64 year-old father of five just graduated nursing school after attending alongside his son! Do you know when the average person reaches PEAK happiness??? It's apparently age 47. Elsewhere in sports, LIV golf apparently has new funding, Justin Herbert & Madison Beer can't keep their hands off each other at Chargers practice, and the Akron Zips have a unique contest for their season ticket holders. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a #FloridaMan who tried to kill a teenager because of a lobster diving spot, a doorbell camera that captured a 15 year-old kid in a clown costume who's accused of murder, a poster created by A.I. wins a contest at the Ohio State Fair and people are PISSED, a guy on a rollercoaster gets hit in the face with a shoe, a truck hauling a porta-potty leaks TP all over the highway, and a mom in Texas who left her kids at home to drive to her boyfriends house.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to the Outdoor Adventure Series! In today's episode, we're continuing to experience Barstow, California, where history comes alive on Main Street. We're hearing again from Jane Laraman-Brockhurst about the historic murals that stretch on the original Route 66 from from 1st to 7th Street.

Episode DescriptionNumber 31 on the countdown. First zoo animal on Prozac. JD is joined by Duxoop from Toledo — broadcasting from the actual birthplace of Gus the polar bear — plus Andrew from Winnipeg and Dave from Montreal to dig into one of the most quietly beloved songs in the Hip catalogue.The panel gets into the Adam Kasper production that makes In Between Evolution sound the way it does, Rob Baker's untouchable outro solo, the Hip Museum's wonderfully unhinged George W. Bush theory, and the wordplay hiding in plain sight — because it was never what's troubling Gus. It's what's troubling us.Fair warning: this one gets emotional. Duxoop tells us what the lyrics did to him last year from a nursing home wheelchair, and Dave tells us about his friend Al — nickname Gus — and the cover band he's fronting at Al's memorial this Friday. Then the whole thing derails beautifully into a full inventory of every animal in the Hip discography.Explicit language. Recorded live on YouTube.On the PanelJD — hostDuxoop from Toledo — self-described part polar bear; born-in-Toledo credentials, same as GusAndrew from Winnipeg — arrived with facts and a News Radio shirt; host of Soup Full of RadioDave from Montreal — saw the Hip in Central Park; frontman of brand-new Hip cover band Colonel MustardTale of the TapePulled from The Hip Handbook, which amalgamates HipBase and setlist.fm data. Album In Between Evolution (2004) Producer Adam Kasper, recorded in Seattle Single Third single from the record Countdown position No. 31 on the Top 40 Times played live 327 First played October 27, 2003 Last played August 18, 2016 — the Ottawa show As an opener Once As an encore Five times Poll Results Love it 52% Like it 36% Tolerate it 10% Skip it 1% Never heard of it 1% Possibly the most varied — and most indecisive — poll spread of the series so far. Duxoop's verdict: "That's crazy to me. These numbers should be way more lopsided toward the top."Live Version FeaturedOttawa, 2004 — the Grey Cup halftime show. Andrew remembers watching it live and everyone around him asking why the band was opening the biggest gig of the year with a brand-new song. (They went into Courage right after.)What We Talked AboutThe Album That Everyone Slept OnIn Between Evolution debuted at No. 1 in Canada on roughly 22,500 first-week copies — then got knocked off the top by Avril Lavigne's new album.Certified platinum in Canada that September. Dave notes it was one of the last Hip records to move real units.Where does this song sit in the career arc? The panel lands on "the end of the middle" rather than the dawn of the final third.Andrew's take: Gus is the first song on the record that sounds like the Hip you already knew — you lean back in the chair. Heaven Is a Better Place Today, Summer's Killing Us and Vaccination Scar are louder neighbours, so Gus hides in the first five.Adam Kasper and the Seattle SoundAndrew looked up Kasper's credits and it clicked: Soundgarden's Down on the Upside, Queens of the Stone Age's Songs for the Deaf, Pearl Jam's self-titled (the avocado one), Foo Fighters' One by One.Same studio was hosting the Big Fish and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind soundtracks around the time this record was being made.The panel agrees Gus has a "weirdly familiar, warm Hip sound" — it could have sat on Day for Night with different production, or on Music at Work. Maybe it was on the shelf a while.Rob Baker's OutroUniversal agreement: whichever live version you pull up, Baker is on fire. "A real showcase for him."Dave's sharpest observation of the night — Gord never rants over this solo the way he does over others. It always gets its space, and that may be the only ad-lib that separates the live song from the record.Gus HimselfBorn 1985 at the Toledo Zoo, died August 27, 2013. A 700-pound icon of the Central Park Zoo, seen by over 20 million visitors.Began swimming obsessively — up to 12 hours a day — in the 1990s. Reporters called him neurotic, depressed and flaky, and he became a symbol of the stress of living in New York.The first zoo animal in history to be treated with Prozac. Also got a jacuzzi and, at one point, two girlfriends. Duxoop: "Why is he the one on Prozac and not me?"Gord wrote the song in 2004, nine years before Gus died — so this wasn't an obituary. He'd seen the bear and then done the second-sourcing, as Gord always did.There's a children's book called What's Worrying Gus? The True Story of a Big City Bear. On Amazon, the cover has Gus on a therapist's couch.The Toledo ConnectionThe Hip played the Toledo Zoo twice in the '90s — where Gus was born.When they played Toledo in 2004, Gus was the show opener. The stats say it only ever opened once, so that was absolutely on purpose.The Bush TheoryThe Hip Museum reads Gus as partly about George W. Bush and the invasion of Iraq. Andrew read the paragraph aloud; it describes the two as "lovable, loutish, and incredibly accomplished guys… not bad for a pair of dudes with limited mental capacity."JD's verdict: lots of love for the Hip Museum, but that one's a reach.Gus / UsDave's thesis: he doesn't hear a bear at all. "It's not what's troubling Gus. It's what's troubling us." He's been on that line for twenty years.JD points out the Gordism that makes it work — dropping the G, so "troublin' us" and "troubling Gus" are phonetically the same thing.Duxoop extends it: we've all watched a zoo animal pace or swim figure eights, and that should be troubling us.On the lyrics generally: Gord's word-smithery rewards straining to hear it, and the panel confesses to mumbling through parts for two decades. Compared to Nautical Disaster — all story, no chorus, no pattern — Gus is manageable, but only just.Duxoop's StoryLast year, when the countdown hit No. 31, Duxoop was three months into a nursing home stay with medical issues. Twenty-odd years earlier he'd started going to karaoke — big, scary-looking, socially awkward, mistaken for the bouncer. Now he was in his 60s, in a wheelchair, and the line landed like a ton of bricks: old and grey, and no one's afraid anymore.He sang it at the nursing home. "I don't think I've ever sung a Hip song with more feeling than I do with Gus." Grace, Too he can't fake — he feels like a schmuck trying to match Gord's intensity. Gus he doesn't fake.And after a week of thinking about it for this episode, he made a bold statement: Gus is now his favourite Tragically Hip song, over Grace, Too.Dave's Story — Al, Gus, and Colonel MustardDave's friend Al Morton died suddenly last November. They bonded over the Hip and golf at Dave's club. Al's nickname was Gus.In their fantasy football pick'em league, Al's picks stayed on the board for the rest of the NFL season. "A real lump in my throat."Al's memorial is this Friday at the Dunany Country Club in Wentworth, Quebec — halfway between Ottawa and Montreal. Ashes scattered around the course in the morning; speeches and a gathering at night, billed as his "after par-ty."The family asked for seven or eight Hip songs. Dave and friends have twenty ready, after two nights jamming at his buddy Chris's place. He made them learn Gus — he couldn't imagine doing a show for Al without it.The band is named Colonel Mustard, after Al's imported 1970s Mercedes. Wentworth, Quebec's Tragically Hip cover band. Dave waited 45 years to do this.His approach: very much not trying to be Gord. "I'm just trying to sing it with my truth."Hardest songs to sing so far — Fireworks (the National Fitness Program cadence) and Fully Completely (Gord's offbeat entrance in the middle section). Bassist John Roy has been cueing him in.Also on the setlist: Grace Too, Wheat Kings, The Good Life, Three Pistols.One BucketDave loves the way Gord says "whippoorwill" — audible in the Grey Cup version JD played. He'll be attempting it Friday."Used to be enough to make every bird stop singing." There's a lot of beauty in this song.Dave also went to bat for Sharks as an all-time Hip song — lyrically perfect, everyone gets to shine — while fully admitting he's a party of one on that.The Countdown NeighboursNo. 30 The Darkest One · No. 31 Gus · No. 32 Emperor Penguin — with Pigeon Camera at No. 28. As JD put it: their arctic phase.The Animal Album (An Idea That Got Away From Everyone)Duxoop floated it — Weird Al did a food album and a TV album, so why not a Tragically Hip animal album? The panel then attempted a full inventory:Emperor Penguin · Pigeon Camera · Dire Wolf · Problem Bears · Thompson Girl (polar bear reference) · The Bear on Music at WorkTiger the Lion · The Luxury (zoo lion) · Little Bones (a teeny tiny little cat) · Sled Dogs After DinnerWheat Kings (loon at the beginning) · Bumblebee · Leave ("in this contest, a concave nest") · Sharks · Piano Spider · I'm a Werewolf, Baby · the killer whale tank one on the box setVerdict: someone needs to make this playlist.Quotable Moments"It's not what's troubling Gus. It's what's troubling us. And that's just the best." — Dave from Montreal"Gord Downie sells the fuck out of this song. He sells the flakiness of the bear. He sells the confusion of the person watching it being like, why aren't you like a real bear?" — Dave from Montreal"It's funny — we're happy to hear a song about a sad animal." — Andrew from Winnipeg"Gus is like you're leaning back in your chair and relaxing a bit." — Andrew from Winnipeg"Grace, Too I feel like I'm faking it. Gus, man, I don't fake that one." — Duxoop from Toledo"It's up to us now to keep these songs alive." — Dave from Montreal"I live for that rare occasion where somebody goes, who was that song by? I got to look up that artist — and I get to make a new Hip fan." — Duxoop from ToledoMentioned in This EpisodeThe Hip Handbook — free Top 40 breakdown with episode links: thehiphandbook.tthpods.comHipBase and setlist.fm — live-stat sources behind the Tale of the TapeThe Hip Museum — source of the Gus / George W.

There's a local Toledo tribute on Friday collecting donations for the Dublin Simon Community, the homelessness charity Hansard cared deeply about. Duxoop, who was himself homeless for a couple of years recently: "I would definitely promote that."Andrew from WinnipegSoup Full of Radio — weekly on UMFM in Winnipeg. Every episode is the next letter of the alphabet. Next week: songs starting with "the." The week after: all covers, all Tom Jones covering other people.Head Full of Radio — the podcast, where Andrew plays Radiohead to a guy who's never heard it. Google "Soup Full of Radio" and you'll find both.Dave from MontrealGoogle him for his Hip-related writing; Instagram @DaveKaufman1Dave used his plug to point people at JD's buy-me-a-coffee instead — noting how many unpaid hours go into this and how much the shows are worth to him. JD's reiteration: this stuff is free forever, don't worry if you can't swing it.The Gathering — KingstonRegistration deadline is Friday for all activities. (If you're hearing this on the podcast feed, you've likely missed it.)Three days in Kingston for the 10th anniversary of the Hip's final show: a brunch, an album listening party, a first-day mixer, and hotel blocks.

United States President Donald Trump has backpedaled on a planned "lock and loaded" attack on Iran after claiming Tehran and other Middle Eastern countries had sought it and that the perimeters of a deal have been agreed to, including the Strait of Hormuz reopening.美国总统唐纳德・特朗普收回了蓄势待发、准备打击伊朗的计划。他声称，德黑兰以及其他中东国家请求美方暂缓行动，双方已经商定协议大致框架，其中包括重新开放霍尔木兹海峡。Trump's latest walk back came after a phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud late Saturday amid a wave of warnings from Iran that vowed a decisive response and retaliation that would go beyond the region.伊朗接连发出警告，誓言将做出决定性反击，报复范围将不限于中东地区。在这一背景下，特朗普于周六晚间同沙特王储穆罕默德・本・萨勒曼・本・阿卜杜勒 - 阿齐兹・阿勒沙特通电话，随后最新表态改口。According to an update from the Saudi Press Agency on Sunday, the Saudi Crown Prince "stressed the need to prioritize dialogue to reduce escalation" in his phone call with Trump.沙特通讯社周日发布消息称，沙特王储在与特朗普通话时 “强调应当优先开展对话，缓和紧张局势”。He also stressed the importance of making every possible effort to achieve calm that paves the way for diplomatic solutions, preserves the region's security and stability, and prevents a wider conflict whose repercussions would affect regional and international security and stability.他同时强调，应当尽一切努力实现局势降温，为外交解决途径创造条件，维护地区安全稳定，避免冲突进一步扩大；大范围冲突带来的影响将冲击地区乃至全球安全与稳定。In a social media post, Trump had said the US "is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II".特朗普此前在社交媒体发文称，美国 “已经蓄势待发，准备对伊朗伊斯兰共和国采取行动，动用的军事威慑力量与战力规模为二战以来所罕见”。"Despite this, we have just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern countries, to hold off any attack in that the perimeters of a deal have been agreed to. This would include the immediate, complete, and total opening of the Hormuz Strait, and an end to Iran's nuclear threat," said Trump.特朗普表示：“尽管具备上述条件，但伊朗与其他中东国家刚刚请求我们暂缓发动袭击，各方已经敲定协议大致框架。协议内容包括立即全面彻底开放霍尔木兹海峡，同时消除伊朗核威胁。”"Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the world and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a deal. The Country of Israel joins me in this commitment. Get to work, everybody, and get it done," he added.他补充道：“基于这一提请，为了全世界长远利益，同时为保障伊朗能够持续繁荣发展，我同意取消袭击行动，但前提是各方能够迅速达成协议。以色列与我共同作出这一表态。各方行动起来，促成协议落地。”But Iran's military sources denied on Sunday Trump's claim that Tehran had asked Washington to call off its strikes, calling his remarks "a new lie", Xinhua News Agency reported.据新华社报道，伊朗军方消息人士周日否认特朗普有关德黑兰请求美方取消打击行动的说法，称特朗普这番言论是 “又一个谎言”。Iranian First Vice-President Mohammad Reza Aref said the government has planned for the next two years, "even for the worst conditions".伊朗第一副总统穆罕默德・礼萨・阿雷夫表示，伊朗政府已经做好未来两年各项预案，“即便是应对最坏局面”。Ebrahim Rezaei, a member of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, said on Sunday that Iran's response to a potential attack will not be limited to the Persian Gulf area, Mehr News Agency reported.伊朗迈赫尔通讯社消息，伊朗议会国家安全与外交政策委员会成员易卜拉欣・礼萨伊周日表示，倘若遭遇袭击，伊朗的反击范围不会局限于波斯湾区域。"We will respond to all enemy bases and to the source of the attacks, from wherever they originate," Rezaei was quoted as saying by Mehr.迈赫尔通讯社援引礼萨伊的话报道：“我们将打击所有敌方基地，直击袭击发起源头，无论源头身处何地。”A similar warning was issued by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to his Turkish and Pakistani counterparts on Sunday of the consequences of US' "aggressive and destabilizing" actions, and stressed Iran's readiness to defend itself.伊朗外长阿巴斯・阿拉格齐周日分别致电土耳其与巴基斯坦外长，发出同类警告，阐述美国 “具有侵略性、破坏局势稳定” 的行动将引发的后果，并强调伊朗做好了自卫准备。Rasha Al Joundy, a senior researcher at the Dubai Public Policy Research Centre, told China Daily that Trump "wants to reach a deal" and that any threat "is part of his strategy to push Iran for an end to the war".迪拜公共政策研究中心高级研究员拉莎・琼迪在接受《中国日报》采访时表示，特朗普 “有意促成协议”，各类军事威胁 “都是施压伊朗、推动结束冲突的策略手段”。"But what was on the table before this war is different than what is on the table after it (mainly, the Strait of Hormuz). I believe this issue is consuming more negotiation time than anything else, including the nuclear stockpile," said Al Joundy.琼迪称：“冲突爆发前后谈判桌上的议题已经发生改变，核心分歧就是霍尔木兹海峡问题。我认为该议题占用的谈判时间超过其他所有事项，甚至比核库存问题更棘手。”She said that all Gulf Cooperation Council countries — Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait and Qatar — have an interest in ending the war and that they "did not stop trying to be involved for this purpose".她表示，海湾阿拉伯国家合作委员会全体成员国 —— 沙特阿拉伯、阿拉伯联合酋长国、巴林、阿曼、科威特、卡塔尔，都希望冲突落幕，各国 “始终持续为此奔走斡旋”。"Saudi Arabia's normalization (of ties) with Israel could give it some political leverage with Trump but the US has many economic, strategic interests with all the GCC countries and it will not yield fruit unless the war ends," said Al Joundy.琼迪指出：“沙特同以色列实现关系正常化，或许能让沙特在特朗普面前拥有一定政治筹码；但美国同所有海合会成员国存在大量经济与战略利益，冲突不结束，相关利益安排便难以取得进展。”"The real work in these talks is reaching a balance between what the US can accept and what Iran thinks it can get, and what the GCC is willing to support. Taking into account that Israel should accept whatever scenario being reached," she added.她补充道：“谈判真正的难点在于寻求平衡点，兼顾美方的接受底线、伊朗期望获取的条件以及海合会各国愿意支持的方案，同时以色列必须接受各方最终达成的任何安排。”This is not the first time Trump has retreated from his threats, popularizing the term TACO, which is short for "Trump Always Chickens Out".这并非特朗普首次收回军事威胁，网络衍生出缩写 TACO 广为流传，全称意为 “特朗普总会临阵退缩”。Prior to this, his most recent about-turn was on June 11 after threatening to attack Iran "very hard", including the threat of seizing Kharg Island and taking over total control of the country's oil facilities. Trump cited US discussions with Iran's top leadership for the reversal of his decision.在此之前，他最近一次态度反转发生在 6 月 11 日。彼时他扬言要对伊朗实施 “猛烈打击”，威胁夺取哈尔克岛、全面掌控伊朗石油设施。特朗普当时称，美方同伊朗高层开展沟通，因此更改决定。A similar situation happened on April 1, when the US president warned that the Washington would "bomb Iran into the Stone Age" after it refused to capitulate on Hormuz and days later on April 7, Trump said "a whole civilization will die tonight" in a threat that prompted a global outcry. The following day, Pakistan secured a fragile ceasefire between Washington and Tehran.4 月 1 日也曾出现相似局面。因伊朗拒绝在霍尔木兹海峡议题上妥协，这位美国总统警告，华盛顿将 “把伊朗炸回石器时代”。数日之后的 4 月 7 日，特朗普又放出威胁，称 “一整个文明今夜或将覆灭”，引发国际社会强烈抗议。次日，巴基斯坦从中斡旋，促成美伊达成脆弱停火协议。perimeter /pəˈrɪmɪtə(r)/n. 界限，范围retaliation /rɪˌtæliˈeɪʃn/n. 报复，反击escalation /ˌeskəˈleɪʃn/n. （局势）升级ceasefire /ˈsiːsfaɪə(r)/n. 停火，休战

The Secretary of State went on television and refused to rule out striking civilian targets. "A head for an eye," Marco Rubio said — boasting about sending a country back to the Stone Age. At the same time, the Pentagon has cancelled press briefings, killed reporter embeds with combat units, and gone dark on casualty numbers. Paul Rieckhoff joins Katy Tur on MS Now to lay out what that combination actually means: an administration waging war without the accountability the Constitution demands, and military families left in the dark about whether their people are coming home. Paul draws on his own time as an infantry rifle platoon leader in Iraq to explain why the laws of war exist in the first place — they protect our troops when they're captured, they hold the line against retaliation on our allies, and they're the difference between a professional military and a political weapon. He also breaks down the president parading a Gold Star family at a Georgia rally, the New York Times reporting on strikes against Iranian escape routes, and why the erosion of the wall between the troops and the politicians is the exact mistake America made before Vietnam. This one is short, sharp, and essential. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

6,000 years ago — long before the pyramids — ancient builders in Spain created something that still leaves engineers speechless today. The Dolmen of Menga is a massive stone monument so precisely built, no one's sure how they pulled it off with Stone Age tools. It's a doorway into the minds of people who understood the Earth, the stars, and stone like few ever have. Let's uncover the impossible engineering behind this prehistoric wonder.

If you've ever wondered what happens when billionaire ego collides with Netflix true crime, TLC discovers suburban Missouri, and the Rizz Show crew has entirely too many opinions... congratulations. You found today's daily comedy show.The episode starts with one of the most ridiculous sports stories we've heard in a while—an NHL owner putting his own kids' names on the Stanley Cup before longtime staff members. Because apparently being a billionaire now comes with DLC privileges.Then things get wonderfully weird.The gang dives into the psychology behind binge-watching true crime documentaries and why so many people are developing what experts are calling "True Crime Brain." Is every neighbor secretly dangerous? Is every strange noise outside your house the beginning of a Netflix documentary? Maybe. Maybe not. But after hearing this conversation, you might check the locks one extra time anyway.As if that wasn't enough, TLC enters the chat.A brand-new reality show featuring suburban St. Louis couples making adult content sparks one of the funniest—and surprisingly thoughtful—debates of the morning. The crew discusses teachers leaving education, financial reality, internet fame, judgment, and why TLC somehow transformed from "The Learning Channel" into whatever glorious chaos it has become today.Meanwhile, Howard Stern announces another major reduction to his schedule, leading to a conversation about radio legends, retirement, work addiction, and whether anyone would turn down millions to work one day a week. (Spoiler: absolutely nobody in this room.)Music fans get plenty to chew on with new releases from Queens of the Stone Age and Nickelback, Iron Maiden cashing in on their legendary catalog, and an unexpectedly passionate debate over the greatest female-fronted bands of the '90s. Courtney Love, Garbage, Alanis Morissette, No Doubt, Hole, Elastica, Bikini Kill—the arguments get heated... in the healthiest possible way.Of course, no episode would be complete without celebrity news, weird internet stories, birthdays, questionable life choices, and the kind of sarcastic commentary that somehow makes everything feel just a little less ridiculous.Whether you're here for celebrity gossip, bizarre news, pop culture commentary, music discussions, or simply watching the crew derail perfectly good conversations, this daily comedy show delivers another completely unfiltered ride.If you're looking for laughs, weird headlines, St. Louis stories, and conversations that somehow bounce from billionaire drama to horror documentaries to suburban reality television without ever touching the brakes, you've found your people.Thanks for making The Rizzuto Show part of your day. We appreciate every listener who chooses to spend part of their morning with our beautiful disaster of a daily comedy show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://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.

Episode 230 is here, and this week we're asking the kinds of questions that somehow start as harmless hypotheticals… and end in full-blown societal collapse.What happens when every animal suddenly becomes as smart as humans and which species immediately starts the first war? If civilization had to reboot from scratch with only one profession left alive, who's carrying humanity across the finish line? Could one U.S. state actually survive a battle against the other 49? And if every elevator suddenly had one mysterious extra button… are you brave enough to press it?Then we dive into one of the biggest headlines of the week following the sudden passing of Senator Lindsey Graham, the House's vote to make Daylight Saving Time permanent (so maybe we can finally stop arguing over changing the clocks twice a year), and a judge's sharp criticism of President Trump's IRS lawsuit, saying he attempted to manipulate the judicial process in pursuit of a massive $1.8 billion claim. (⁠cbsnews.com)As always, expect hot takes, bad ideas presented with confidence, completely unnecessary debates, and enough laughs to make your therapist proud or concerned.Music:Get It For Free - Mr. Goody Two Shoes Welcome to Talk Shit Or Get Off The Pod.

The band rose to prominence as part of the Californian Palm Desert Scene - sometimes described as desert or stoner rock. 

Pohoda, Slovakia's largest multi-genre festival, reached new heights in 2025, with director Mišo Kaščák calling it the best edition yet. Iggy Pop delivered an unforgettable show, while Africa Express took the stage not only in solidarity with their fellow musicians from Massive Attack—who couldn't attend this year—but also as a gesture of deep respect for the audience. The legendary Queens of the Stone Age from the U.S. ignited a wild mosh pit, as did local punk powerhouse Fvck_Kvlt from Trnava. Renowned American jazz saxophonist Kamasi Washington and Slovakia's own jazz icon Peter Lipa each received standing ovations for their sets. Other standout live performances included female performers Skye from Morcheeba, Anoushka Shankar as well as Slovak musicians Jana Kirschner, and Katarzia, all of whom captivated the crowd. The Czech band Dukla surprised fans with a duet alongside Ela Tolstova, lead singer of the Slovak band Tolstoys, who recently performed at Glastonbury for the second year in a row. The festival's atmosphere and unforgettable moments were captured over four days in a special report and series of interviews by Martina Greňová Šimkovičová.

The first chemists were Sri Lankan forgers who crafted unimaginably strong steel millennia before it should have been possible. They were alchemists in Roman Egypt, who designed apparatus still in use today. They were Stone Age leatherworkers, Tang Dynasty herbalists and Mayan stoneworkers.  The Enlightenment is usually credited with the origins of chemistry, but in truth, the science blossomed gradually. As early innovators distilled, smelted, forged and fermented their way through the centuries, they blurred science and mysticism in search of answers to life's greatest mysteries. In reading The Age of Alchemy: How Early Innovators Shaped Modern Chemistry (Profile Books, 2026), join Kit Chapman on a global quest to achieve immortality, cure all disease and transmute lead into gold as he reveals the illuminating stories of how the alchemists first broke new ground and shaped the scientific method.

Most people only know one of the Ryukyu Islands: the island of Okinawa, home to sandy beaches and one of the U.S.'s most important bases in Asia. There are lots of myths about this island chain, which stretch from southern Japan down to the island of Taiwan: That it owed loyalty to China, given its place in the imperial tribute trade; that it was a pacifist kingdom; that it was quasi-sovereign even within Japan. Gregory Smits tackles a lot of these myths in his expansive history of the islands, titled The Ryukyu Islands: A New History from the Stone Age to the Present (University of Chicago Press: 2025). His book, and today's conversation, dives into all the ways that the Ryukyu Islands will frustrate anyone trying to fit this place into an easy historical or political narrative.  Gregory Smits is professor of history and Asian Studies at Penn State University. He is the author of several books, including Early Ryukyuan History: A New Mode (University of Hawaii Press: 2024), Maritime Ryukyu, 1050-1650 (University of Hawaii Press: 2019) and Visions of Ryukyu: Identity and Ideology in Early-Modern Thought and Politics (University of Hawaii Press: 1999) You can find more reviews, excerpts, interviews, and essays at The Asian Review of Books, including its review of The Ryukyu Islands.

Kayleigh During is no ordinary history buff. What started as a coping mechanism during a difficult health journey has blossomed into a thriving YouTube channel with over 240,000 subscribers. Today, she pulls back the curtain on the person behind "History with Kayleigh," revealing the profound journey that led her to become a respected voice in ancient history education.From her earliest childhood memories of discovering Stonehenge in her mother's encyclopedia to her current status as a female creator in a predominantly male space, Kayleigh's story is one of passion, resilience, and determination. She articulates a fascinating perspective on humanity's shift from communal societies to competitive ones during the late Stone Age and early Bronze Age – a transition she characterizes with disarming simplicity as the moment when "it's shiny, it's mine" became our collective mindset.The conversation takes a sobering turn as Kayleigh candidly discusses the dark side of internet fame. Despite creating educational content about ancient civilizations, megalithic structures, and archaeological discoveries, she regularly faces harassment, sexualization, and boundary violations from a subset of male viewers who seem unable to see past her gender. Her experience reveals the troubling reality many female content creators navigate daily – from implementing extra safety measures while traveling to developing mental health strategies for processing online abuse.Yet through it all, Kayleigh maintains an inspiring outlook. She's transformed her passion into a career that freed her from disability payments, built meaningful connections with her audience, and created a platform where complex historical concepts become accessible to everyone. Her methods for staying grounded – from nature walks to mindful breathing – offer valuable insights for anyone facing challenges in our hyperconnected world.Whether you're fascinated by ancient history, curious about the realities of content creation, or simply interested in a remarkable human story, this episode offers a thoughtful exploration of what it means to share your passion with the world while protecting your humanity.
