Fire, Fair, and Fame: A Du Quoin Disaster

Du Quoin, Illinois is having a rough week, and this one hits close to home.Massive downtown fire in Rafe's hometown of Du Quoin. Multiple businesses were destroyed, including Home Lumber Company, BJ's Garden Inn and other properties along the downtown business district. Making an already difficult situation even worse, the fire happened during the Du Quoin State Fair, one of the biggest economic weeks of the year for the small Southern Illinois community.Rafe talks about seeing the damage to a downtown that's already watched businesses disappear over the years, while Lern shares her own memories of growing up nearby and planning entire summers around the Du Quoin State Fair. Thankfully, the transcript reports no injuries or deaths, but the loss is still devastating for a town of roughly 6,000 people.So the crew sends some love south and encourages everybody heading to the fair to support Du Quoin however they can.Then, eventually, the daily comedy machine starts malfunctioning again.The conversation turns into a full Southern Illinois State Fair nostalgia session, complete with Wiz Khalifa, Russell Dickerson, demo derbies, Night Ranger and Rafe remembering the time he watched Joe Diffie put on what felt like a full stadium concert inside a tiny Budweiser beer tent. Rafe also officially declares the Du Quoin State Fair superior to the Illinois State Fair in Springfield. Complaints may be directed to somebody who cares.From there, September 3rd's collection of completely necessary national holidays introduces National Welsh Rarebit Day, which briefly causes confusion over whether anyone is eating a rabbit. They're not. It's cheese. That discovery leads directly to Worcestershire sauce, pork-steak marinades and the shocking revelation that Rafe doesn't own a grill.On Labor Day weekend.We don't make the rules, but we're pretty sure that's grounds for deportation from the Midwest.Luckily, Lern has an even worse idea.After talking with Tim Virgin, she introduces a potential reality-dating concept called Rock Hard Island. The premise involves eligible bachelors from St. Louis rock radio, women applying to date them and enough trash-TV energy to immediately attract hypothetical sponsors. There isn't actually an island involved, but that's apparently a minor logistical concern. Even more alarming: sales is interested.Nothing bad has ever happened after those three words.The crew also takes a trip through September 3rd history, covering everything from the beginning of World War II to Vince Lombardi, Iron Maiden's Powerslave, Prince's massive Warner Bros. deal, Charlie Sheen's 1995 marriage and the founding of eBay.Then Lern takes over for Crap on Celebrities with a packed entertainment rundown. There's a documentary about late Rush drummer Neil Peart featuring Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and fellow drummers including Stewart Copeland, Chad Smith and Danny Carey. Rush is also headed back to St. Louis, giving Moon another chance to see a band he thought he'd never get to experience after Peart's death.There's Beck news for local record-store fans, TV talk involving Chad Powers and The Gentlemen, a rundown of the upcoming Dancing with the Stars cast, and news involving Wheel of Fortune. The show also discusses an upcoming documentary about The Office and remembers Gloria Steinem and her enormous influence on American journalism and the women's movement.Then we arrive at one of those debates designed specifically to waste productive adults' time: the greatest movie and television villains ever.Darth Vader? Obviously.Annie Wilkes? Terrifying.Voldemort? Sure.Hannibal Lecter? Yep.The Joker? Somehow they almost forgot him.The crew runs through villains ranging from Cruella de Vil and Scar to Patrick Bateman, Magneto, John Doe and Dr. Evil, proving once again that this daily comedy show can turn almost any entertainment list into an argument.Finally, Moon breaks down which music genres are supposedly most popular in different states based on search trends, with pop leading the country, metal putting up an impressive fight and Sleep Token emerging as a heavily searched metal act.Then it's birthday time, which means any remaining professionalism is escorted from the building.We've got Charlie Sheen, King Scott's twin Shaun White, Kaia Gerber, Todd Lewis, Steve Jones and more before Rafe handles the final birthday honors and everybody briefly convinces themselves that Amber Lynn is dead.She isn't.Great work, team.It's a show that starts with genuine concern for a Southern Illinois community, takes a detour through State Fair memories, somehow invents a trashy St. Louis dating show, argues about fictional villains and ends with an accidental celebrity death announcement.In other words, another perfectly normal episode of daily comedy 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.

Things start surprisingly deep when Lern talks about listening to Rafe's appearance on The HoneyDew, where he discussed difficult experiences from childhood and finding comedy in darker moments. He explains the idea of turning life's lowlights into highlights, everybody agrees that nobody escapes childhood completely unscathed, and for one fleeting moment this sounds like a mature conversation between emotionally intelligent adults.Turns out King Scott likes his coffee like he likes his women... According to former Starbucks professionals, black-coffee drinkers might enjoy torturing themselves, caramel macchiato fans barely want coffee at all, vanilla-latte people play it safe, Frappuccino drinkers are basically ordering milkshakes, matcha people might be doing it for the aesthetic, and macchiato drinkers know exactly what they want—and apparently want the barista to know that they know.McDonald's fries enter the conversation. So does the Wendy's Frosty, Taco Bell's spicy potato soft taco, the Frisco Melt, Lion's Choice, Dairy Queen onion rings, Rally's fries, Del Taco, Freddy's and more. Nobody reaches a universal consensus because democracy has failed once again.Things somehow become less appetizing when the crew discovers a Walgreens three-in-one product described as a douche, enema and water-bottle combination system. There are some household products where “multipurpose” is a selling point. This may not be one of them.The show then gets into a study suggesting men have a complicated relationship with dieting, including the idea that some men may respond better to “goals” and “challenges” than the word “diet.” Rafe offers his own theory after seeing wildly confident dudes criticize women online while looking, in his words, like a thumb melting into a suit. Poetry remains alive in St. Louis.And because the current calendar apparently isn't irritating enough, Moon brings up a viral proposal to replace our 12 months with five beautiful 73-day monstrosities: Jebruary, Maple, Jaugust, Soctober and Nissember. Is a 73-day Jaugust horrifying? Absolutely. Are we intrigued by Soctober? Unfortunately, yes.Then Tupac conspiracy content leads into a survey asking whether Americans believe they could successfully fake their own deaths. Younger adults are more confident. Older adults have apparently lived long enough to understand that the IRS, prescription refills and bill collectors are undefeated.Du Quoin, Illinois is having a rough week, and this one hits close to home.Massive downtown fire in Du Quoin. Multiple businesses were destroyed, including Home Lumber Company, BJ's Garden Inn and other properties along the downtown business district. Making an already difficult situation even worse, the fire happened during the Du Quoin State Fair, one of the biggest economic weeks of the year for the small Southern Illinois community.From there, September 3rd's collection of completely necessary national holidays introduces National Welsh Rarebit Day, which briefly causes confusion over whether anyone is eating a rabbit.

After seeing dogs everywhere at LAX—and hearing two cats meow their way through an entire flight—the crew falls directly into a pet-themed rabbit hole that somehow gets stranger from there.The crew admits to giving pets updates before leaving the house, whispering compliments to one dog so the other one doesn't hear, telling cats “I love you,” debating which pet is secretly the favorite, asking dogs what they want to watch on TV, and generally treating animals like tiny roommates who contribute absolutely nothing financially.That sends the crew back to 1993's The Three Musketeers, Tim Curry as Cardinal Richelieu, Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland, Chris O'Donnell, Oliver Platt, and the gloriously over-the-top “All for Love” combination of Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart, and Sting. This funny podcast briefly becomes a 1990s movie-and-music appreciation society nobody asked to join.Finally, a listener asks a dangerous question for people who have spent years working in radio: what song have you heard so many times that you never need to hear it again?In other words, another perfectly normal episode of daily comedy 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.Baristas Are Revealing The Coffee Orders They Associate With Super Specific StereotypesHigh school's entire football season canceled amid developing criminal investigationFire destroys three downtown Du Quoin businessesKirkwood City Council considers Walmart drone deliverySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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. Like, downloads-it-immediately loves it. There's hope, people.Also:Slot machines hit. Twice.$1,200 up.Rib cap steak that changed his life.Four Mai Tais at a tiki bar.Zero regret.One extremely positive Monday.This episode of The Rizzuto Show delivers everything you expect from a daily comedy podcast — celebrity near-misses, industry chaos, gambling wins, sarcastic life advice, and Tim Virgin absolutely thriving in morning radio madness.If you like funny show energy, entertainment gossip, weird news vibes, radio insider stories, and watching grown men try to process their emotions through steak and slot machines… congratulations.

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.

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

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!"

(Just kidding) We also give a huge shout out to a few Chi-Town Peeps: Q101 Chicago's Alternative: http://www.q101.com/ Tim Virgin: http://twitter.com/timvirgin Abe Kanan and his amazing podcast folk: http://abeisawesome.com/ Ryan Manno: http://www.ryanmanno.com/ JBTV: http://www.jbtvonline.com/ We also mention Tyler Glenn from Neon Trees: http://twitter.com/tylerinacoma The Shout out Louds: http://www.shoutoutlouds.com/ Lights: http://www.iamlights.com/ The Gaslight Anthem: http://gaslightanthem.com/
