Congratulations Lern on your three year anniversary of joining the Rizz Show. Tim Virgin sits in on the show as well as the arrival of Sean The Plumber.Rizz is gearing up for a Mexico vacation like a man preparing for battle — against bad oysters, questionable seafood, and his own digestive system. The crew immediately spirals into worst-case scenarios: cartel fears, food poisoning, and the very real possibility of spending day one glued to a resort toilet.Naturally, this turns into a full-on strategy session. Rizz outlines his survival plan: no shellfish, tip heavy upfront, bring a personal tumbler, and stay aggressively hydrated via tequila sodas (because science). Meanwhile, the show debates resort etiquette, dressing up for dinner, and whether grown adults should ever fart in front of their significant other (hard no from this crew).The segment is basically vacation excitement mixed with paranoia, sprinkled with relationship debates and bodily function oversharing — aka a perfect sendoff before Rizz attempts to not ruin his own trip.The show kicks off with birthday shoutouts and quickly turns into a mix of wholesome and chaotic. Listeners call in for wedding congratulations, birthday love, and general life updates — including a loyal fan getting married and even asking the show to officiate (which, shockingly, didn't happen… probably for legal reasons).From there, things spiral into classic Rizz Show territory: expensive kids' activities (cheerleading somehow costs more than hockey?!), QVC possibly going bankrupt, and a deep dive into bizarre home shopping network moments — including hosts passing out mid-sale and a guy absolutely eating it off a ladder on live TV.It's a weird blend of heartfelt listener moments and absolute nonsense commentary, proving that even when they try to be nice, chaos is always just one story away.From there, the segment shifts into a surprisingly sincere moment celebrating Lern's three-year anniversary on the show — which lasts about 12 seconds before everyone gets uncomfortable and goes back to jokes.Then it's straight into a game (“Back That Track Up”), where Tim Virgin has to guess songs played backwards — leading to impressive wins, dumb guesses, and side tangents about dead musicians, missed concerts, and random personal regrets.

You ever go to Vegas for “work” and accidentally turn into a socially awkward casino goblin with access to steak money? Yeah. That's this episode.In Episode 101 of your favorite daily comedy podcast, the crew welcomes KC95's Tim Virgin into the early-morning chaos while Riz breaks down his 48-hour Vegas sprint — which included flying Southwest (girth battle included), getting rescued from a questionable hotel by a hero friend with standards, and discovering that Fremont Street is basically a live-action fever dream with zip lines and Chippendales.But that's just the warm-up.Riz attends a record label convention where Linda Perry performs, AI panels nearly induce a coma, and radio is once again declared “dead” for the 47th straight year. (Spoiler: it's not.) Tim Virgin delivers an intro so epic it basically resurrects the room, and Riz uses his moment on stage to yell at record companies for sending drummers to interviews. Lead singer or we riot.Then comes the emotional rollercoaster:Riz meets Jacob from Sublime… and immediately shuts down like a Windows 98 desktop.He reflects on sitting next to Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen on a plane without saying a word.He realizes he may be wildly successful… and still socially broken.And then… redemption.Riz stumbles into a showcase for Barbarians of California (AWOLNATION's side project) and actually loves it.

In what's become a favorite annual tradition, old friend/radio colleague Tim Virgin (94.7 WLS) and I meet up at Hellsgate (hellsgate.com) in Lockport for a trip through the haunt and a podcast conversation with creator/owner John LaFlamboy. I say it a lot, and I mean it: HellsGate is the best of the haunts. I look forward to it every year, and it totally changes my mood for the better. It's SO MUCH FUN. We get into the changes made to this year's experience, as well as the deep, thought-out, lore that drives John's storytelling. This is a complete creative vision. If you're caught up in the spirit of the Halloween season, I can't recommend HellsGate any more strongly. In fact, I'll be back before Halloween and I hope to see you there.

Let me just get this out of the way: The annual opening of HellsGate is one of my most anticipated events of the year. The immersive, engaging haunt is world class, and I leave there smiling and giddy every year. For this episode, I brought longtime friend/colleague Tim Virgin (94.7 WLS, Q101, WLUP, etc.) to experience HellsGate with me. After our journey, we were joined in the car by HellsGate founder/owner John LaFlamboy. Tim and I share our thoughts and favorite moments from our visit, and John puts everything in context. We dig into the finer details of operating HellsGate, as well as the creative spirit that guides it. HellsGate provides one of the most entertaining, memorable experiences you'll have this year. Make a point of getting there before it gets swallowed back into hell in November. Car Con Carne is presented by Alex Ross Art. Make sure to visit Alex's booth at the New York Comic Con (October 12-15, 2023)!

This week, I'm joined by my very funny colleagues Abe Kanan (WLUP-FM, Abe Kanan on Hold), Tim Virgin (WLUP-FM) and Bass (WLS-AM). We ate at Chicago's famous home of the breaded steak sandwich, Ricobene's (252 W 26th St, Chicago, IL 60616). Abe and Bass are long-time customers; this was a first time for Tim and me. We start out by putting the opening of the podcast on Facebook Live. I somehow launch it with a lightning effect that I can't turn off. Long story short, lightning shot out of our eyes and sandwiches for the entire time we were on camera ("We look like superheroes; this is like our origin story"). Also covered on this show: How should one eat a Ricobene's steak sandwich? Abe: "By a sink, and you should be able to take your shirt off, too." The shady Ricobene's parking lot. As Bass said, "If you look to the left, you'll see my car's tires getting put on cinder blocks." Abe and Bass's incredible, built-on-timed-defecation, Fogo de Chao dining strategy My stage fright about going #2 in public Strategies for going #2 while at work Why does Abe have a gym membership? Bathroom access at all times. Abe's master strategy for sanitizing public toilets The work of art that is the Burger King Farmhouse sandwich "Cleaning the beef machine" We kill the Facebook stream about 15 minutes in, and keep going. The conversation gets even more entertaining from there... Tim's summary? "Best sandwich in the world" Thanksgiving recap: Ways turkey doesn't suck and how I saved the day with pumpkin pie The pros of owning a Weber kettle grill The day the fire trucks had to respond to an emergency at my house My love of foam parties Tim's recent surgery, and why it's a miracle that he could even think about eating at Ricobene's Abe: "Did you all take a Prilosec before we did this?" The maudlin mourning of celebrities on Facebook The extreme lack of interaction radio personalities (other than Tim Virgin) have with celebrities "Rest in glory, my brother!" What's up with the dude walking by the car in army fatigues? Tim: "Everybody's safe, I got my CCW license last week." "What's the most f-ed up thing you ever ate?" A PUFFIN? The sex appeal of the Boost Mobile-branded Mazda 3 Why Abe and Bass dine like visitors to the "jerk-off booths" of old Our next destination as a foursome: Kaufman's in Skokie
I've known and adored fellow radio personality Tim Virgin for a very long time. For this week's show, Tim met me at Herm's Palace, a long-standing hot dog joint in Skokie. I had the Polish sausage with pastrami, he had the fried salami. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: Chest hair doesn't grow as fast as facial hair. Tim's dark stools match his dark heart. Tim is a one-man Audubon Society. Everything good in life causes problems. We chat about the career paths we should have taken, the authenticity of Tim's voice, Coachella vs. Bonnaroo and Tim's time working in the record business. We also talk a lot about music (shocker), including lengthy discussion of Phil Collins-led Genesis, GnR, Rush, Yes and Adam and the Ants. Other highlights: "Those shorts are falling down her hips!" "The one with the beard is clearly a bear."
Seraphina, Molly, and Ziggy are BACK to the podcasting world and ready to fill your ears with a ton of nonsensical bullshit. On this episode, we talk about the Phelps family, a radical group of religious bigots who plan on boycotting a 30 Seconds to Mars show the trio plans on attending. They also cover pathetic childhood stories, why Chicago has the best music scene, and how Q101 should endorse this podcast.
