They tore them down, shipped them off, and hoped you'd forget they ever existed — but Kim St. Onge isn't letting that happen. On this Kim on a Whim, Kim takes you from the Christopher Columbus statue that vanished from Tower Grove Park to Confederate monuments quietly returning to Baltimore — and asks the question the left refuses to answer: if you erase history, does that mean it never happened? Marc and Kim break down the radical push to melt down statues, rewrite school curriculum with the 1619 Project, and rename everything that offends even a single person. Plus — the man who made Juneteenth a national holiday couldn't even explain what it was, and the Marc Cox Morning Show has the receipts. History doesn't disappear just because you tear down the statue — and this segment proves exactly why the left wants you to think it does.

The Marc Cox Morning Show kicks off live from Whitmore Country Club — and Marc Cox comes out swinging. While patriots gather to tee off for Folds of Honor and America's veterans, Democrats are on television declaring Iran the winner of a war that left their military in ruins. Marc dismantles that lie piece by piece. Then — "Go Algae" protesters vandalize the National Mall's reflecting pool, Marine One sends them a message from above, and Judge Jeanine Pirro promises to prosecute every last one of them. Kim St. Onge takes over for Kim on a Whim with a deep dive into the left's obsession with erasing American history — from Tower Grove Park to Baltimore's returning Confederate statues to the 1619 Project sneaking into classrooms. And to cap it all off — the Marc Cox Morning Show plays the audio of Joe Biden proving he had zero idea what Juneteenth was right before he made it a national holiday. Hour 1 is a barn burner — and the show is just getting started.

They came to honor America's warriors — and the Marc Cox Morning Show delivered one of the most powerful Monday mornings in recent memory. Broadcasting live from Whitmore Country Club in St. Charles County for the eighth annual SunTrip Folds of Honor Golf Tournament, Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge spent four hours doing what they do best: honoring the people who deserve it, exposing the people who don't, and giving conservative Missouri exactly what the mainstream media refuses to provide. The morning opened with Marc dismantling the narrative that Iran won anything — a country with no Navy, no Air Force, 85-90% of its missiles destroyed, and its uranium on the negotiating table. While JD Vance worked the room in Switzerland, Democrats like Chuck Schumer, Cory Booker, and Cory Booker rushed to cameras to root for failure — and Marc Cox called every single one of them out. Then Chuck Schumer accidentally admitted the SAVE Act might remove 25 million people from voter rolls, Rosie O'Donnell returned from Ireland to push election cancellation conspiracy theories, and Kamala Harris demanded 13 Supreme Court justices on the Don Lemon show. Kim St. Onge took over Kim on a Whim with a deep dive into the left's war on American history — from the Christopher Columbus statue that vanished from Tower Grove Park to Confederate monuments quietly returning to Baltimore to the 1619 Project sneaking into Missouri classrooms. Then the Marc Cox Morning Show played the audio of Joe Biden proving he had absolutely no idea what Juneteenth was — right before he made it a national holiday. Hans von Spakovsky, senior legal fellow at Advancing American Freedom, broke down the unanimous 9-0 Supreme Court marijuana gun ruling and warned that birthright citizenship and biological men in women's sports decisions could drop as early as this week. Dan Buck brought the number one downloaded song of the weekend — Tom McDonald's "Remember Who You Are" — and made the case that the silent majority is done being shamed into silence. Nicole Murray delivered the business headlines including oil prices dropping as Iran peace talks progressed and SpaceX stumbling after its blockbuster IPO. The emotional heart of the morning came when retired Marine Sergeant Rocky Sickman — who spent 444 days as an Iranian hostage — delivered a chilling warning live on air: Iran's interrogators told him directly during captivity that they simply wait out American presidents. He revealed he didn't learn until he came home that eight American soldiers died trying to rescue him in Operation Eagle Claw, and that every single morning he wakes up earning the day in their memory. Army veteran and Folds of Honor board director Ray Wagner added that his West Point classmate Major Nicholas Dockery had just received the Medal of Honor at the White House. Matt Schwartz, president of the Missouri and Southern Illinois Folds of Honor chapters, revealed that 150 fully qualified scholarship applicants went unfunded this year — and every $5,000 changes a military family's life forever. Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway drove out to Whitmore Country Club and delivered back-to-back bombshells across two segments — a June 25th deadline to Major League Baseball over suppressing Bible verses while forcing Pride logos, a full appeal of the judge's ruling gutting 179 Missouri abortion safety laws, an urgent warning to parents about Lorex baby monitors feeding audio and video to Chinese military-linked servers, the shutdown of kratom-derived 708 that has killed 161 Missourians and targets kids in recovery, and the news that 18,000 of Missouri's estimated 25,000 illegal slot machines have been shut down. Marc's son Brad Cox closed the show with the news that 350 golfers across two courses — Whitmore and Persimmon Woods — are projected to raise $400,000 for Folds of Honor in a single day. Four hours. One location. Countless reasons to be proud to be an American. This is the Marc Cox Morning Show — and ...

Friday has arrived, and the gang is doing everything possible to safely land this week without accidentally starting an international incident.On this episode, the crew kicks things off with air show excitement taking over St. Louis. Between Blue Angels screaming across the sky, traffic nightmares in Chesterfield Valley, food truck plans, soccer matches, and Moon somehow scheduling approximately 47 events in a single Saturday, the weekend is already off to a chaotic start. The team also swaps stories about hidden local gems, parks they've somehow ignored for years, and the eternal struggle of trying to get anywhere during a major regional event.Then the conversation takes a serious turn as the crew discusses the heartbreaking situation involving Steve Ewing, his wife Beth, and the tragic loss of their dog after an attack in Tower Grove Park. The gang shares thoughts on responsible pet ownership, leash laws, dog training, accountability, and the kind of people who make terrible situations even worse by running away from them. It's an emotional discussion that highlights how quickly an ordinary day can become unforgettable.Of course, because this is a daily comedy show, the conversation eventually veers into parenting dilemmas and one question that immediately divides the room: what's worse—finding out your child is being bullied or finding out your child is the bully? That launches a flood of personal stories, old-school parenting advice, schoolyard fight memories, gym teachers who looked the other way, and lessons learned from growing up in a world where conflict usually worked itself out one way or another.The crew also tackles a surprisingly passionate debate about things that were ruined once too many people discovered them. Food trucks. Craft beer. Airbnb. Festivals. Etsy. Secret parking spots. National parks. Podcasts. Nothing is safe. If you've ever loved something before it became wildly popular and slightly unbearable, you'll probably find yourself nodding along while simultaneously realizing you might be part of the problem.And then comes the story that feels like it was specifically designed for the internet. An Olive Garden server receives a massive $700 tip, management gets involved, fraud reviews begin, accusations start flying, Facebook explodes, and suddenly nobody knows who to believe. The gang breaks down every confusing twist in the story and tries to figure out whether somebody got cheated, somebody got scammed, or everybody involved simply communicated terribly.Along the way you'll hear tales of childhood heroes, local legends, travel headaches, restaurant pet peeves, and the type of random conversations that somehow only make sense when heard together. That's what happens when a group of friends sits down with microphones and starts following every ridiculous tangent to its natural conclusion.Whether you're here for weird news, heartfelt moments, sarcastic commentary, or stories that spiral completely out of control, this daily comedy show delivers a little bit of everything. By the end, you'll laugh, shake your head, question humanity, and maybe double-check the tip amount before signing your next restaurant receipt.If you're looking for a daily comedy show packed with St. Louis stories, bizarre headlines, unexpected detours, and the kind of conversations that feel like hanging out with friends who absolutely should know better, Episode 42 has you covered.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.

That's what happens when a group of friends sits down with microphones and starts following every ridiculous tangent to its natural conclusion.Rizz didn't know what a Long John donut was?Which led to a passionate discussion about Long Johns, eclairs, and why every city insists on calling the same food something completely different. From there, things get appropriately ridiculous.In music news, Ace Frehley's legendary 1975 Gibson Les Paul sells for over half a million dollars, proving that Kiss fans remain one of the most dedicated—and financially dangerous—fan bases on Earth. The crew dives into the legacy of the iconic guitar, the musicians inspired by it, and why certain pieces of rock history carry a price tag bigger than most houses.The Red Hot Chili Peppers, where former guitarist Josh Klinghoffer says his era with the band has basically been erased from history. The gang debates forgotten albums, band politics, and why some musicians act like entire chapters of their careers never happened.Elsewhere, Madonna surprises fans with a pop-up Pride performance in Times Square, Ted Danson opens up once again about one of the most controversial moments of his career, and Bret Michaels' daughter shares stories about growing up backstage at Poison concerts that absolutely sound like they came from another planet.Movie fans get fed as the crew breaks down reviews for the new Masters of the Universe film, debates whether nostalgia can carry a franchise forever, and discusses famous movie mistakes that accidentally became iconic scenes. Plus, Nightcrawler gets some love, The Birdcage remains a classic, and everyone learns that sometimes the best moments in cinema happen when things go completely off the rails.The crew discovers what modern audiences consider "dad rock," and let's just say nobody was emotionally prepared to hear Blink-182, Linkin Park, Korn, Creed, and Fall Out Boy thrown into the same category as classic rock legends. Time comes for us all.The gang dives headfirst into one of the most ridiculous E-Memoriums we've had in a while, featuring cheese addiction, public stupidity, psychedelic suburban dads, shattered aviation dreams, and one of the most unexpectedly wholesome surprises we've ever pulled off.Rafe kicks things off by documenting his descent into dairy madness after being forced onto a 90-day elimination diet. What started as a simple food sensitivity test has turned into a full-blown cheese withdrawal situation. We're talking Gouda cravings, cheddar desperation, and behavior that would get you escorted directly out of a Target. If you've ever loved cheese enough to question your life choices, you'll feel seen.Meanwhile, Rizz discovers there's now a Lost Boys musical on Broadway. That's right. Somewhere, a vampire is singing show tunes and Gen X dads everywhere are suddenly considering season tickets. The crew debates Broadway shows, Book of Mormon, and whether Lost Boys might be the gateway drug that finally gets middle-aged rock fans into theater.Then comes one of the week's strangest news stories as the gang revisits the infamous Hooters incident involving a customer who somehow managed to turn a chicken wing restaurant into the site of a criminal investigation. It leads to a conversation that proves common sense may officially be extinct.The laughs keep coming when Rizz recounts his Primus concert experience. What should have been a nostalgic night of music instead became a fascinating study of what happens when suburban dads try to reconnect with their youth through psychedelics while simultaneously worrying about mortgages, roofing contractors, colonoscopies, and elevated heart rates. It's less Woodstock and more West County Wellness Check.After learning he lost his chance to fly with the Blue Angels, Moon was genuinely crushed. What follows is one of the coolest surprises we've ever pulled off. With help from an incredible listener, a Blue Angels-themed Corvette Stingray appears outside the station, giving Moon the next best thing to taking flight. What starts as a joke quickly becomes a heartfelt moment involving family memories, aviation dreams, and enough horsepower to temporarily heal a broken heart.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.Man arrested for smashing bar window in south St. LouisOlive Garden Faces Backlash After Server Says $700 Tip Led to FiringAce Frehley's main Kiss guitar, the 1975 “Budokan” Gibson Les Paul, sells for over half a million dollars at auctionRam Made An AI-Generated Shirt With A Tacoma On ItVolunteer firefighter arrested for setting blazes and responding to them with his own department during 30-hour arson spreeNew York robber on the run after stealing just $605 from six banks across cityMan allegedly had 11-year-old hold flashlight during burglaryCedar Point bans guest from all Six Flags parks for life after video shows him eating chicken nuggets while riding Millennium Force roller coasterHere's why a Newark flight to Spain had to turn around over the Atlantic68-year-old woman arrested for calling 911 over Jell-O shot denial at Ocala barMan accidentally shoots himself in groin while shopping at Florida WalmartSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Refugee resettlement in the U.S. is at a historic low. At the start of his second term, President Donald Trump set the refugee cap at 7,500 for fiscal year 2026, down from 125,000.

David Gonzales, Vice President of Development with the International Institute, joins Chris and Amy ahead of the annual Festival of Nations this weekend. He notes the corporate sponsors who have 'stepped up' to help support the event. He says there will be slightly fewer vendors this year because of a late start in planning.

The Festival of Nations will take place this weekend in Tower Grove Park. The two day, multicultural festival was in doubt earlier this year when federal funding cuts hit the International Institute of St. Louis, which has organized the annual event since 1934.

After months of uncertainty following the loss of federal funding, the International Institute of St. Louis' Festival of Nations is returning to Tower Grove Park this weekend. Terry Bates, director of marketing and communications for the Institute, shares how donors stepped up to make sure the festival would stay on track, and what makes the annual event – a St. Louis staple for decades – important to the Institute's mission of serving refugee and immigrant families.

Trivers Architecture has carved a niche in the architectural landscape by emphasizing the importance of adaptive reuse and historic preservation. Celebrating 50 years in the business, Joe Brinkmann, Joel Fuoss, and Amy Gilbertson sat down with us to share their philosophy on creating buildings that stand the test of time. The conversation kicks off with what adaptive reuse actually means, with Joel explaining it as the art of taking a structure originally built for one purpose and reimagining it for another—think turning an old factory into chic lofts or a historic courthouse into a vibrant community hub.This episode isn't just about the mechanics of architecture; it's about the heart behind it. The trio discusses how their firm started with a focus on historic renovations during a time when many buildings were left to decay. Joe reminisces about the firm's roots and how they have evolved into a leader in not only preserving St. Louis's architectural heritage but also actively contributing to the city's revitalization efforts. With projects like the Gateway Arch Museum and various historic buildings under their belt, the conversation moves into the challenges and triumphs of working on such significant structures, including the intricate dance of balancing modern needs with historical integrity.As we wrap up, the conversation shifts to the future of architecture, touching on sustainability and the growing need for environmentally-conscious design. Amy emphasizes the importance of listening to clients and the community, ensuring that each project reflects the values and needs of those it serves. The firm's approach is a testament to the idea that architecture is not just about buildings; it's about creating spaces that foster connection, creativity, and a sense of belonging. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in how architecture shapes our environment and community—so grab your earbuds and join us for an enlightening conversation![00:00] Introduction and Welcome[00:35] Meet the Hosts and Guests[01:03] Sponsor Acknowledgment and Thought to Ponder[02:03] Introduction to Trivers Architecture[02:30] Understanding Adaptive Reuse[03:10] The Victor Building Case Study[04:10] Challenges and Evolution of Trivers Architecture[05:44] Notable Projects by Trivers Architecture[07:25] Historic Renovation and Tax Credit Programs[08:52] Balancing Modernization and Preservation[09:45] Client Collaboration and Project Examples[20:39] The Value of Historic Buildings[22:32] Break and Sponsor Message[24:43] Architectural Education and Local Influence[26:03] Favorite Buildings in St. Louis[26:58] Innovative Building Design[27:50] Historic Structures in St. Louis[29:02] Tower Grove Park's Victorian Pavilions[30:07] Appreciation for Craftsmanship[30:56] Leveraging Diverse Perspectives in Architecture[34:40] Sustainability in Architecture[38:21] Future of Architecture[44:26] Advice for Aspiring Architects[50:16] Closing Remarks and Fun FactsTakeaways: Trivers Architecture has been a trailblazer in historic renovation and adaptive reuse for over 50 years, showing that old buildings can have a new life. Our guests Joe Brinkmann, Joel Fuoss, and Amy Gilbertson shared their insights on how they balance modern needs with preserving historical integrity in architecture. The firm emphasizes that belief in a vision can lead to transformative projects, much like a self-fulfilling prophecy in architecture. Adaptive reuse is all about taking structures meant for one purpose and creatively bending them to meet today's community needs, keeping history alive in a modern context.

If you've been to the Tower Grove Farmer's Market, you've likely seen the line wrap around one of the booths. At the booth, you'll find bread, donuts, and hand pies. That's what Madeline Hissong started with when she launched her business Damn Fine Hand Pies. Despite the popularity, she still recalls with clarity her first customer. Now, Madeline and her business partner Gene Bailey are gearing up to open their brick-and-mortar bakery in the Shaw neighborhood of South St. Louis - just a few blocks from where it all began at Tower Grove Park. The two joined us on the podcast to talk pies and bread, the dreams and the challenges, and what you can expect from their shop. You can learn more and order from the bakery through their Instagram page: Instagram.com/DamnFineHandPies

In a south St. Louis city park created in Victorian times, Indigenous culture, native plant ecology and 21st century engineering are newly united in a southwesterly flow. Tara Morton, Community Engagement Manager for this project's urban someplace, Tower Grove Park, shares the story of Nee Kee Nee, a riverine revival.        Named Nee Kee Nee, or “revived water” in the language of the Osage People who once inhabited the land, the East Stream captures stormwater from 43 Park acres and provides a naturalized play area for many of kinds of nature relatives, including humans young-to-old.       East Stream's headwaters are fed by a user-activated potable water source. Stormwater from intakes on adjacent Arsenal Street rejoin the stream 300 feet below the headwaters and flow through a system of weirs and rain gardens. Shunted underground for more than 100 years, East Stream is now a biodiverse, living partner in the Park's nature stewardship: a waterway working with human needs, designed to divert stormwater - up to 3.8 million gallons annually - from overloading the urban sewer system. Nee Kee Nee is also reviving culture. Tower Grove Park staff worked with the Osage Nation's Tribal Historic Preservation Office on design of the stream, the direction it flows and landscaping with pawpaw, arrowwood, and many other kinds of native plants.
