Niels Kaastrup-Larsen and Richard Brennan explore what the science of complex adaptive systems can teach us about markets and trend following. Drawing on research from the Santa Fe Institute, they examine why markets may be better understood as evolving systems shaped by the participants within them rather than machines moving toward equilibrium. They discuss reflexivity, increasing returns and how trends can begin to reinforce themselves, before asking what this means for systematic investors. Along the way, Richard explains why backtests are evidence rather than promises, why taking profits too early can be costly, and why responding to markets may ultimately matter more than predicting them.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Rich on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps:00:00 - Why trend following's edge may have moved rather than disappeared03:26 - What three years of research revealed about trend following06:50 - Why big trends and outliers are structural features of markets11:35 - Trend following performance and what's moving markets16:49 - Should trend followers ever take profits early?21:03 - What the Santa Fe Institute can teach us about markets25:51 - Why markets are complex adaptive systems29:46 - Reflexivity and how investors help create market outcomes35:18 - Why equilibrium may be the wrong way to think about markets40:22 - Mean reversion, positive feedback and why trends persist42:55 - Increasing returns and the lessons of VHS versus Betamax50:01 - How market movements begin to feed on themselves54:11 - Why trend following emerged inside an artificial stock market58:20 - How every system eventually gets gamed01:01:47 - What backtests can and cannot tell us about the future01:08:31 - How trend followers prepare for a future they cannot predictCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

Night of the Creeps (1986) turns 40 this year and we're throwing a birthday party for Fred Dekker's horror comedy romp. How it turned from being a box office flop to a VHS legend, surviving its first disastrous screening, and why it's the quintessential Tom Atkins performance. Plus, Jon and Eric share their take on Bruce Campbell's new movie, his Q&A after, Jason popcorn bucket drama, the Crystal Lake trailer, a Session 9 prequel and all those Widows Bay Emmys.

Disney vacation planning has never offered more information, so why can it still feel harder than ever to know where to begin? Lauren and Eric look back at Disney's beloved VHS and DVD planning videos, the TV specials that once helped families get excited for a trip, and the shift toward YouTube, TikTok, creators, and influencers. They also discuss Disney's new AI-powered vacation planning experience and whether technology can replace the simple, polished overview that once introduced newcomers to Walt Disney World. HIGHLIGHTS • Disney is testing a new AI-guided vacation planning experience designed to help guests compare resorts, dates, festivals, and activities. • Disney's Created in LA event brings together hundreds of creators, storytellers, and executives as the company deepens its relationship with online creators. • Influencers and creator partnerships are increasingly filling the promotional role once occupied by traditional Disney vacation specials. • Lauren and Eric revisit the Disney vacation planning VHS tapes and DVDs that helped generations of guests prepare for and get excited about their trips. • They explore why Disney moved away from long-form planning videos in favor of shorter online content through PlanDisney, YouTube, and social media. • Classic Travel Channel and television specials captured the parks with polished, host-led storytelling that is increasingly rare today. • Disney Plus documentaries such as The Imagineering Story and Behind the Attraction offer deeper looks at the parks, but serve a different audience than first-time vacation planners. • Could an annual Disney planning special on Disney Plus or YouTube give first-time visitors the simple starting point they still need?

We return this week with a special episode featuring Theo Rossi (Come with Me, Bruton, Sons of Anarchy), who sat down with us for an absurdly unhinged conversation about horror movies, practical effects, childhood nightmares, and movies that permanently damage your ability to sleep throughthe night. A Staten Island native, Rossi brought his own history with horror into the conversation, with discussing growing up in the 1980s seeing films like The Howling, The Omen, being terrified by A Nightmare on Elm Street, and the completely rational childhood decision to put a giant Freddy Krueger poster above his bed as a form of psychological warfare against his own nightmares. Naturally, it didn't go as planned. We celebrate our love of what makes horror scary, comparing supernatural monsters and traditional slashers with the more realistic, cerebral terror of The Strangers, Vacancy, and The Poughkeepsie Tapes, along with why Achilles tendon injuries might just be the most skin crawling thing in horror. It wouldn't be a CREEP-O-RAMA episode without random tangents, either. From discussing the upcoming AI meets Mad Max apocalypse, Antarctica, aliens, and why the correct survival strategy for the end of civilization is to equip the appropriate boots, this episode's got em'. Join us as we gush blood over our favorite horror tropes, VHS nostalgia, and a childhood filled with monsters come to life.CREEP-O-RAMA is: Store: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CREEP-O-RAMA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@creep-o-rama⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Josh: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@joshblevesque⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artwork: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@bargainbinblasphemy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Theme: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@imfigure⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Audio: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@stranjlove

Chosen by Gareth, Double Impact arrived in 1991 at exactly the point where Jean-Claude Van Damme was becoming one of the defining action stars of the VHS era. Directed by Sheldon Lettich and co-written by Lettich and Van Damme, the film had an estimated budget of around $15 million and was shot across Hong Kong and Southern California. Van Damme also co-produced the movie while taking on its dual leading roles, supported by Geoffrey Lewis, Alonna Shaw, Alan Scarfe, Bolo Yeung and Cory Everson. Creating two Van Dammes in the same scene required optical split-screen techniques, carefully controlled camera work and body doubles rather than the digital effects that would make the job considerably easier today.Released in the US on 9 August 1991, Double Impact received mixed reviews but pulled in around $30 million domestically, roughly doubling its production budget. Contemporary critics were divided between those happy to accept the film as a full-strength JCVD action vehicle and those less impressed by its storytelling. Either way, its combination of martial arts, gunplay, Hong Kong locations and the wonderfully shameless selling point of “two Van Dammes for the price of one” helped make it a memorable fixture of early-'90s action cinema and home-video shelves.TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISTwenty-five years after a violent conspiracy tears a family apart, two identical brothers are about to discover each other. Chad has California smiles, martial arts moves and enough pastel clothing to frighten an entire decade. Alex has Hong Kong, black leather, cigars and the general demeanour of a man who considers conversation an unnecessary delay before punching somebody.Now their shared past is catching up with them, and the men responsible would very much prefer the Wagner brothers stayed separated.FUN FACTSDouble Impact was inspired by Alexandre Dumas' The Corsican Brothers, the story of twin brothers separated early in life, and the project originally carried the Corsican Brothers name.Van Damme specifically wanted to play two contrasting characters because he believed the dual role would give audiences a chance to see more of his acting range rather than simply another variation on his action-star persona.Of the two Wagner brothers, Van Damme said his real personality was much closer to the more easy-going Chad than the harder-edged Alex.Van Damme personally wanted Bolo Yeung in the movie after the two became friends while making Bloodsport. Their reunion gave JCVD fans another chance to see the pair sharing the screen.Van Damme turned down Kickboxer 2: The Road Back in order to make Double Impact instead.The film featured Van Damme's first onscreen love scene, adding another string to the Muscles from Brussels' increasingly ambitious acting bow.The end credits include special thanks to Frank Dux's Samurai Connection — another link back to the colourful real-world figure whose claims helped inspire Bloodsport.Cory Everson, who plays the intimidating Kara, wasn't merely built for the part: she was a six-time Ms. Olympia bodybuilding champion.SUPPORT THE SHOWIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.And if you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

On this episode of Sound Speed Action, we review Mayday, the new 80s style action comedy on Apple TV starring Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh, made in the vein of Midnight Run, 48 Hrs, and Red Heat. It's a lot of fun, it knows exactly what it is, and Branagh's Nikolai, a former KGB hermit who worships one bootleg VHS of Top Gun, turns out to be a genuine badass. I am not kidding. I did not see that coming.But I keep telling myself the two guys who made it are cursed. Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley made Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, which everybody who saw it loved and Hollywood still called a disappointment. Then they made Mayday, finished it in the spring of 2024, and it sat on a shelf for two years before going straight to your phone. Cursed is not the right word, though. I found a better one, and I'll give it to you at the end of the episode, right after I tell you what they're making next.What We Cover:Nikolai Owns One Movie: A character set in 1987 who worships a film from 1986. Why the 80s homage in Mayday lives inside the character instead of being painted on top.Thin Is The Point: Red Heat did not have a serious position on the Cold War. Neither does this. Why the reviews knocking the politics are grading the wrong thing.The Villain Problem: One honest gripe about a good actor in a part nobody built.Two Years On A Shelf: Apple's habit of holding content that gets close to live geopolitics, and why a comedy stops being the same movie once the room around it changes.Same Week, Different Screens: A movie a studio decided was worthless opened in theaters. A movie built for theaters opened on your TV. Neither decision had anything to do with whether the movie was good.Not Cursed: Goldstein and Daley keep making movies that Hollywood keeps burying. I owe them a better word than cursed, and I found one.

Slackerromanen och slackern själv hade sin storhetstid under 1990-talet. Men vad ville denna figur egentligen? Författaren Martin Engberg hittar henne i ny skepnad. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Först sänd 2020-01-02.Det fanns en tid i mitt liv när jag bodde i ett rum med svarta gardiner och sov på en madrass på golvet, inhyrd hos en vän i en medelstor svensk stad. Medan min kompis pluggade ägnade jag mig åt att skriva – ett tidigt romanförsök – och förutom sådant som Dagerman, kom inspirationen från böcker i vilka människorna liksom vi var unga, gick och stämplade och levde ett pliktlöst liv. Böcker som kunde tilltala en ung författar-wannabe eftersom de, på grund av sitt ämne, framstod som litterärt möjliga att imitera. Slackerlitteratur.I boken Not Working argumenterar psykologen Josh Cohen för att det behov av att inte arbeta många av oss har borde erkännas samma status som arbetet självt. Inte som återhämtning för ökad prestation, utan som något i sig meningsfullt. Med hjälp av fallstudier av personer han mött i sin kliniska praktik och olika konstnärskap konstruerar Cohen fyra typer vars minsta gemensamma nämnare är vantrivsel i förhållande till den gängse synen på arbete. Han ger dem namn som Den utbrände, Slusken, Dagdrömmaren och … just det ... Slackern.Slackern var alltså även före 90-talet sammanknippad med företeelser som uttrycker en ovilja mot att inrätta sig som en medborgare i nationens tjänst.Slackern, tänker jag, vad hände med slackern? Det var som att jag skickats tillbaka till det där rummet med svarta gardiner.Vad var det egentligen som skrevs där och varför?I ett försök att orientera mig plockar jag upp Per Hagmans debutbok, Cigarett från 1991. Alla markörerna är där, men att läsa om andras festande blir snabbt monotont och den grabbiga jargongen är kvävande. Det är något annat jag letar efter. Claes Holmströms bok Tredje stenen från solen från 1994 – som jag måste ha läst vid den här tiden – är svårare att få tag på än Cigarett. Av någon anledning är det kö på bibliotekets enda exemplar. I väntan på att kunna lägga händerna på ett ex ser jag om Richard Linklaters film Slacker från 1990 för att få ordning på begreppet. Det var framför allt den som gav ordet en för decenniet samtida betydelse, tidigare hade det till exempel använts om personer som under första och andra världskriget i USA inte ville göra militärtjänst. Slackern var alltså även före 90-talet sammanknippad med företeelser som uttrycker en ovilja mot att inrätta sig som en medborgare i nationens tjänst. Sedan drog den på sig en Nirvana T-shirt och blev synonym med en ironisk cyniker som var skeptisk mot det mesta. Inte minst äta-jobba-sova-dö-samhället. Eller som en karaktär uttrycker det i Slacker: ”Åt helvete med den sortens jobb du måste ha för att försörja dig! […] Se på mig! Jag klarar mig fint. Jag kanske inte lever på något bra sätt, men jag behöver åtminstone inte arbeta för att göra det.”Eller, för den delen, med artisten Becks ord: ”I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me?”Kameran i Linklaters film förflyttar sig sömlöst mellan olika karaktärer. Alla visar de upp en livshållning som speglar filmens titel. De delar med sig av sina teorier om världen på ett ofta spånigt, kvasiintellektuellt eller konspiratoriskt sätt, om det inte rör sig om rena fantasier, men de existentiella frågorna pockar på underifrån. De flesta av figurerna är unga, merparten män, men här finns också kvinnan på filmens affisch som försöker kränga en burk som hon påstår innehåller Madonnas ”pap smear”, gynekologiska cellprov, och på det sättet exemplifierar generationens förtrolighet med en global populärkultur och dess mytbildningar.En av anledningarna till att filmen, trots att den är en tidsskildring, inte känns daterad på samma sätt som Hagmans Cigarett, är att den utgör en provkarta över flera olika existenser utan att låsa sig vid ett enskilt perspektiv. Kategorin berättelser om pojkmännen som är barn till Lundells Jack, som i sin tur var barn till Jack Kerouacs beatniks, är vid det här laget mättad med råge. Antagligen är det därför (utöver rent litterära kvaliteter) som de skildringar i genren som kommit fram på senare år, har kvinnor som författare och huvudpersoner. Karolina Ramqvist skriver Alltings början med en feministisk blick. Huvudpersonen i Tone Schunnessons Tripprapporter uttrycker en liknande brist på kontakt med sina känslor som Hagmans jag i Cigarett, men könsskillnaden ger en förskjutning i maktbalansen. Huvudpersonens sätt att leva blir på det sättet en provokation mot vissa tabun, som i högre grad fortfarande gäller kvinnor än män, till exempel när det kommer till hur sexuella begär uttrycks.Slackern [...] faller mellan kolumnerna för vad rigida utvärderingssystem kan mäta.Men frågan är om inte Ottessa Moshfeghs My year of rest and relaxation från 2018 frambringat den ultimata slackern. Huvudpersonen i boken bestämmer sig helt sonika för att – med hjälp av ett mindre apotek av droger – gå i idé under ett helt år i väntan på att alla problem ska försvinna. Möjligen skulle det ambitiösa i projektet kunna diskvalificera detta som en slackerskildring. Å andra sidan är alla andra referenser på plats, från dyrkandet av VHS-spelaren och den nördiga besattheten av film, till den cyniska blicken och oviljan att inordna sig i ett uppstyrt samhällsliv. Dessutom är det något så udda som en närhistorisk roman i genren eftersom den utspelar sig runt millennieskiftet.Och huvudpersonen i Moshfeghs bok är inte den enda som söker en väg ut ur en kris med hjälp av slackern.I Not Working berättar Josh Cohen hur Linklaters film hjälpte honom ur den livskris han hamnat i som doktorand. Genom att hävda allas rätt att leva i sin egen takt gav den honom tillåtelse att vara kreativ på det sätt som passade honom. När han lät skrivandet ske på de tider och i de intervaller som föll sig naturligt för honom – ofta efter långa perioder av inaktivitet – lossnade skrivkrampen. Han hade hittat sin livsrytm.Sedan påpekar Cohen att det förstås finns tider när den egna rytmen måste inordnas med andras, för att vi har familj, lönearbete, eller ett husdjur att ta hand om, men säger att det kanske är då det är som viktigast att hålla fast vid dess anda av olydnad och vägran. Dess benägenhet till aktivitet och inaktivitet utan mål och mening. Slackern inom oss är helt enkelt den där som har en tendens att göra saker som faller mellan kolumnerna för vad rigida utvärderingssystem kan mäta.Jag inser att jag inte behöver Claes Holmströms bok. Det var det här jag letade efter. Inte fler skildringar av vilsna unga män. Tiden i rummet med svarta gardiner gav mig en möjlighet att utforska min egen rytm och när jag drömmer mig tillbaka dit är det för att jag behöver påminna mig om att jag fortfarande har en sådan. Det har inget med MTV, humorprogrammet Knesset eller krogrundor att göra. Tvärtom är det en uppmaning att söka andra berättelser, sådana som de i Slacker, som obekymrat slingar sig fram längs sina egna vägar, samtidigt som de möter och sluter upp med andra berättelser, utan att bry sig om ifall de gör på rätt sätt. Och det kommer att vara andra berättelser idag än på 90-talet.“Slackern utmanar det obestridda privilegium handling och målinriktning har i vår kultur av skrupellös kapitalisering och konkurrens. Hon tar sig an den fundamentala frågan om vad som gör livet värt att leva”, skriver Cohen.Det tar jag med mig. Resten kan få sjunka tillbaka till sitt 90-tal.Martin Engberg, författare

Lern was supposed to stay at a Dolly Parton-themed hotel.That sentence alone sounds magical.Unfortunately, the hotel wasn't finished.After booking the Nashville stay months in advance for a trip surrounding the Foo Fighters, Lern and Tim learned shortly before arriving that their Dolly accommodations still weren't ready for actual human beings. The hotel staff was extremely accommodating — because apparently that's the Dolly way — and offered to help them find somewhere else.Lern eventually landed in an Airbnb.Which is convenient, because this funny show immediately turns into a discussion about Airbnbs that would make most reasonable people sleep in their cars instead.The crew discovers you can stay in the actual Pennsylvania house used as Buffalo Bill's home in The Silence of the Lambs. It's in Perryopolis, a town name that Moon and Rafe immediately decide needs to be investigated for crimes against geography.Perryville?Too normal.Perry Town?Not enough grandeur.Perryopolis?Now we're cooking.And the house itself has gone completely all-in.The basement scenes involving Buffalo Bill's infamous well weren't originally filmed there, so naturally the current owner had a replica constructed inside the house. Guests can climb into it, take pictures and apparently even propose marriage from inside the pit, because nothing says “spend forever with me” like recreating a serial killer's basement.There's also a motion-activated disco ball that plays “Goodbye Horses.”Worth the trip.Throw in themed packages, horror memorabilia, an arcade, a pool table and hundreds of horror movies on DVD and VHS, and suddenly the crew is seriously considering a group vacation to Perryopolis.Lern is absolutely sleeping there.Devon apparently wants the well.Everybody seems surprisingly comfortable with this.From haunted vacation rentals, the conversation makes the completely natural transition into karaoke — specifically, songs you should absolutely NOT attempt unless your goal is public humiliation.The crew runs through a ranking of brutally difficult karaoke choices, including “I Will Always Love You,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Dream On,” “Take On Me,” “Chandelier,” “Somebody to Love,” “Emotions,” “Barracuda,” “We Didn't Start the Fire,” “Informer,” “Purple Rain,” “Chop Suey!” and several other songs requiring vocal abilities that Chad from accounting simply does not possess.Lern and Rafe argue that terrible karaoke is actually the point.Nobody wants to watch twelve consecutive musical-theater kids nail obscure Broadway songs like they're auditioning for a touring production.We want danger.We want confidence unsupported by talent.We want somebody three drinks deep suddenly deciding they can sing System of a Down.That is entertainment.Rizz, meanwhile, treats karaoke like The Voice, mentally turning his chair whenever somebody actually pulls off the impossible.And yes, the crew demonstrates some of these songs themselves.You're welcome.The conversation also uncovers another deeply unfair fact about Alan Ritchson: apparently Jack Reacher can sing, too.Being enormous and handsome was already plenty, sir.Leave something for everybody else.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, and the funny show dives directly into entertainment chaos.Benny Blanco's relationship advice basically comes down to understanding your partner, communicating and not being a jerk — an apparently revolutionary romantic strategy.The crew talks Ella Langley's massive chart success, Kacey Musgraves, Stevie Nicks opening up about her history with cocaine and Klonopin, Tony Iommi reportedly passing on another Black Sabbath album and Moon explaining why producer Andrew Watt's willingness to throw endless ideas around can be such an asset in the studio.John Carpenter's admiration for Metallica also sparks speculation about how his visual style could fit with a giant immersive production.Which brings us to the Sphere.Who's next?Metallica?Oasis?Coldplay?Nope.Oprah.The show discusses Oprah Winfrey bringing an immersive production to the Las Vegas Sphere, and initially nobody can figure out what that is supposed to look like.Giant Oprah?Inspirational quotes covering 160,000 square feet?“You get a Sphere! YOU get a Sphere!”But then Moon discovers musician Jacob Collier is involved and executes one of the fastest opinion reversals in show history.Suddenly, he's in.Completely in.Moon launches into an enthusiastic defense of Collier's musicianship and creativity while everybody else tries to figure out how the conversation went from mocking Oprah at the Sphere to Moon volunteering hundreds of dollars for tickets.That's growth.Or something.Celebrity chaos continues with Stagecoach talk, Florida Georgia Line, the Emmys, Reba's Dolly Parton tribute, Dave Chappelle's announced tour and Martha Stewart apparently considering releasing nude photos.Which, naturally, gives Rafe the opportunity to invite everyone to “Martha's Vineyard.”We apologize.Things briefly get much more serious when the show discusses a reported death possibly involving a counterfeit oxycodone pill containing fentanyl. The crew talks about the danger of counterfeit pills and the importance of Narcan, including the need to call 911 and the possibility that multiple doses may be necessary in an opioid overdose.Then celebrity family drama arrives with a discussion about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's children dropping Pitt from their names, leading to a larger conversation about family relationships, famous last names and the obvious reality that none of us actually knows what happens inside somebody else's home.Finally, the episode becomes an accidental soundtrack debate.What are the greatest songs ever attached to movies?What are the worst?Titanic. Dirty Dancing. Saturday Night Fever. Rocky. Philadelphia. Frozen. Wild Wild West. The Three Musketeers. An American Tail.Moon gets emotionally invested in Fievel.Lern would like everyone to return to Patrick Swayze.Rafe remembers the reign of terror that was Bryan Adams.And somewhere along the way, Pitbull gets accused of reminding everybody that he's Mr. Worldwide in every song like he's legally required to provide identification.So yes, this episode starts with Dolly Parton hospitality, travels to Buffalo Bill's basement, crashes a karaoke bar, discovers Jack Reacher can sing, sends Oprah to the Sphere and ends up debating whether Fievel has been given the musical respect he deserves.Exactly the kind of funny show where nobody knows where the conversation is going — especially the people having it.Welcome to Perryopolis.Please put the lotion in the basket before checkout.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.

Sign up for our Patreon and get access to the full episode each Friday as well as special Live Shows and access to our community discord: http://patreon.com/muckrakepodcast Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman open on the 25th anniversary of September 11th and the question running through the whole episode: who knew what, and what were they willing to ignore? Nick wonders whether the conspiracy theories are the attack's real legacy, while Jared argues the distrust behind them was earned by generations of leaders and that the true winner of the war on terror was the class that profited from it, a point Nick drives home with Palantir's founding date. Mayor Zohran Mamdani's release of 170,000 pages shows the Giuliani administration knew the air around Ground Zero wasn't safe while telling people it was, and successive mayors kept the records locked away, which Jared chalks up to honor among thieves. A new book reports that Benjamin Netanyahu was warned by the UAE and Egypt ten days before October 7th and never told his own security chiefs, which makes his "they didn't wake me up" defense look even worse. Then it's off to the half-empty GOP midterm convention in Dallas, where Trump promised every adult $5,000 if Republicans keep Congress, a pledge Nick holds up against 18 U.S.C. 600, and John Fetterman sent a video endorsing Dave McCormick that Jared is convinced took several takes. On what we're watching, Nick shrugs his way through Ted Lasso's unnecessary new season and gives Lanterns a lukewarm endorsement, while Jared recommends the horror film It Ends, grinds through For Whom the Bell Tolls, and cannot let go of a commercial VHS tape getting taped over on The Paper.

This week the Lobby had a theme: settle it. You sent in the arguments you can't win at home, and we ruled on them — including one where the defendant was sitting at the mic.Cody's own wife turned him in over NSYNC, so we held a trial. He was recused, compelled to testify, cross-examined, and sentenced. He also finally admitted what he actually thought of the new Masters of the Universe, which is not what he said on the review episode, and the words "I was about to get a He-Man tattoo" were spoken out loud.Plus: Dave reveals he was not a Princess Bride household, he was a Legend household, and offers a theory about why your 1980s VHS shelf determined your entire personality. Also, Tom Hanks has beef with the Fonz. Jethro Tull is not a guy. And we owe Celeste an apology.Recorded the night before drop with no real edit, which you will most certainly be able to tell.

This is our NEW RELEASE review podcast, ONE HOT TAKE. My grandmother taped Looney Tunes off the TV onto three or four VHS cassettes for the grandkids, and we played them until the tape gave out. Seeing them again, in a courtroom, litigating: the tape is still running. Synopsis: After enduring years of malfunctioning products, Wile E. Coyote teams up with a local personal injury attorney to take on ACME, the manufacturer of anything and everything used by the Looney Tunes characters. DREW TAYLOR is a reporter for The Wrap. He has written for The New York Times, Vulture, Vanity Fair, The Playlist, and Collider. He also wrote The Art of Onward, which gives an inside look at the making of the 2020 Pixar film. The book is available to purchase here. He also co-hosts a weekly podcast about animation called Fine Tooning, which is available on all podcast platforms.

ONSLAUGHT Ending Explained (SPOILER'D) — Adam Wingard's KPG Universe Grows*SPOILERS AHEAD (even in the description) Adam Wingard and his long-standing writing partner Simon Barrett's new film Onslaught is a return to their indie roots back in the day when they made VHS 2, You're Next, and The Guest. After making Death Note and two Godzilla movies, Wingard wanted final cut and expression of his singular, tonal chaos aesthetic. Cupcake (Jose) and WillDaBeast (Mike) deep dive the movie, its gorgeous cast - Adria Arjona, Dan Stevens, Rebecca Hall, and Drew Starky - and if this is WINGARD-worthy or just for the die-hards. The Boyz dig into Dan Stevens' "Peter Sellers"-esque performance, ALL the Carpenter nods (this is "The Guest" meets "Assault on Precinct 13" with a dash of "The Terminator"). The discussion of plot details and secrets reveal why this plays as a spiritual sequel to The Guest and You're Next, while actually being a direct entry in Wingard and Barrett's shared KPG universe (yes, the same KPG from The Guest, You're Next, VHS/2, and Blair Witch).GET KINKY AND KRAZY WITH WATCH SKIP PLUS!- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!***Original Theme music: Linus Fitness-Center ⁠ (click the link in our bio for more information on LFC)FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: ⁠WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com⁠Be kind.

**LETHAL MULLET PODCAST: Episode #324 - RAVEN (1992-1993)** > Aloha, assassins. Nevermore. Live from Quinlan's Cantina in the Gold Coast of Australia, it's time again for your dose of action cinema history from the 80s, 90s, and beyond with the Lethal Mullet Podcast This week the Mullet hits 324 episodes and we're celebrating with the most Magnum-style Hawaiian Hunter-Thing TV show you never watched - **RAVEN**. ### What is Raven? **Raven** is an American martial arts drama series that originally aired on CBS from June 19, 1992 to April 30, 1993. Created by Frank Lupo (The A-Team, Hunter) and produced by Columbia Pictures Television. The setup is pure 90s action perfection: Jonathon Raven is a ninja-trained former Special Forces agent, retired in Hawaii to search for his long-lost son. Avoiding assassins sent to kill him by his former associates in the Black Dragon Clan, he uses his skills to help those in need. He's assisted by his former military buddy turned eccentric private investigator, Herman "Ski" Jablonski. When Jonathon was 12, his parents were killed by the Black Dragon. He trained with them for years to master their lethal skill and then use it against them for vengeance. Now he's in Honolulu, trying to find the son he never knew, with every Black Dragon hitman on the islands trying to end his bloodline. Starring: * Jeffrey Meek as Jonathon Raven - full mullet, black ninja gi, swords and shuriken * Lee Majors as Herman "Ski" Jablonski - TV's Six Million Dollar Man in a loud Hawaiian shirt * Andy Bumatai as The Big Kahuna As seen in this week's promo art - pink neon RAVEN logo, Diamond Head at sunset, palm trees, ninja vs. PI vibes - it's Cobra Kai meets Magnum P.I. meets American Ninja. ### On This Episode We Get Into: * Why Raven is the ultimate lost early-90s action show - 2 seasons, 20 episodes (1 unaired), 46-minute pure practical action * Jeffrey Meek: the most underrated martial arts lead who deserved to be Van Damme-big * Lee Majors drinking, brawling, and stealing every scene as Ski * Frank Lupo's post-A-Team formula and why CBS buried it in summer '92 * Ninja in Hawaii: How this show is basically if Frank Dux moved to Magnum's guest house * Black Dragon Clan lore, lost sons, and the 90-minute pilot - Raven: Return of the Black Dragons * Stunts, sword fights, and squibs - we love practical stunts, real squibs, and heroes who look like they have actually been punched ### The Mullet Verdict: Is Raven a stone-cold classic that should have gone 5 seasons, or is it beautiful beautiful trash that only we could love? Does Ski deserve his own spin-off? Greetings Mulleteers! This is 324 - thanks for riding with us from the VHS bin to Diamond Head. NEVER GO FULL MULLET.

Disney Channel has made over 100 Original Movies — Halloweentown, High School Musical, Descendants. But there's one they pretend never happened. The very first one. Northern Lights premiered on August 23rd, 1997. It stars Academy Award winner Diane Keaton. It was executive produced by Meg Ryan. And Disney wants you to forget it exists. It's not on Disney+. It's not on YouTube. It's practically lost media. So I had to find out why. I tracked down a pop culture historian who'd actually seen it. I dug through the Disney Encyclopedia. I cross-referenced old TV schedules. I found a VHS tape from 1997. And what I discovered is a story about branding, rebranding, and how a channel accidentally created its first DCOM before it even knew what a DCOM was.

Send us Fan MailA murder mystery based on a board game sounds like a cash-in, but Clue (1985) is the kind of whodunit comedy that keeps getting funnier the more you watch it. We rewatch it with fresh eyes and immediately get pulled back into the manic energy of Tim Curry's Wadsworth, the razor-sharp ensemble timing, and the film's weirdly perfect blend of witty dialogue and physical comedy.We dig into the real swing that made Clue legendary: the alternate endings. What “really” happened? Paramount's attempt to explain it all ended up spoiling the experience in print. We break down why that theatrical experiment stumbled, why the VHS cut saved the movie, and how the endings (yes plural) turned a box office disappointment into a cult classic movie night staple.Along the way we hit casting and production trivia (including a major Star Wars what-if), talk costume choices, and admit where the plot holes show up when you try to map the mansion like it's a real place. Then we pick favorite quotes, rate the film, and finish with a Clue trivia showdown that turns into its own mini mystery.If you love Clue, Knives Out-style mystery comedy, or just want a movie review podcast that nerds out over craft and jokes, hit play. Subscribe, share this with a friend who can quote “flames on the side of my face,” and leave a review telling us which ending you consider the real one.Support the show

Jesse Moss and Amanda McBaine talk with Mike about Teenage Wasteland, their documentary premiering on Netflix September 4th. The film resurrects five hundred hours of decaying VHS tape shot between 1991 and 1997 by English teacher Fred Isseks and his Middletown, New York, students as they investigated a toxic dump — and stumbled into a conspiracy involving organized crime and cover-ups reaching the state government.Moss and McBaine, the Boys State and Girls State team, describe tracking down Isseks, winning his trust over a twelve-course brunch, and the moment a crayon-drawn map of his gutted classroom convinced them to physically rebuild it on a Hollywood soundstage. They talk about editor Christopher Passig (Telemarketers) cutting the archive down from hundreds of hours, the ethics of dramatizing a documentary about documentary-making, and why they left the VHS's tracking lines and artifacts untouched rather than cleaning them up with AI.They also get into what it meant to bring Isseks's original students — now in their fifties — back together decades later, a story one of them had never told before about his father, and how a film about a 1990s toxic-waste scandal ended up feeling, in Moss and McBaine's words, urgently "of the moment."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

This week, we're heading into the dystopian streets of New York City to revisit John Carpenter's 1981 cult classic Escape from New York starring Kurt Russell as the one and only Snake Plissken!Snake has 24 hours to enter the maximum-security prison that is Manhattan, rescue the President, and get the hell out before time runs out. But after revisiting this VHS-era classic, we have to ask the question:Is Escape from New York actually better than Escape from L.A.?

What if the smartest deal of your career was the buyout you refused to close? That is the call Brad Kugler made when a Silicon Valley firm tried to acquire his marketing platform. The original offer valued his company at roughly 19 times profit, but when the buyer cut it 20 percent late in the process, Brad ended the deal, and thirty months later he has no regrets. Brad is the CEO of Direct Mail 2.0, Who's Mailing What, and DM20.ai, and a serial entrepreneur with more than 35 years of building businesses through constant change. Brad grew a VHS distribution company from a million dollars to 25 million before streaming rode it back to zero, an experience he says taught him more on the way down than on the way up. He carried that hard-won judgment into every deal that followed, including a full acquisition process with Symphony Technology Group that he ended when the buyer used a churn recalculation to cut the offer 20 percent. For Brad, the freedom to run his own company outweighed the cash, the culture mismatch, and three years under a private equity group. But Brad is far from deal-shy. He acquired Who's Mailing What, a direct mail intelligence platform running since 1984, for 20 percent below asking price, grew its revenue by 50 percent, and used its four-decade database as the foundation for DM20.ai. That tool runs three frontier AI models against each other to predict how a direct mail campaign will perform, all for about 50 dollars. With his core market shrinking, a printer list that fell from more than 11,000 names to 3,600 in nine years, Brad now grows by acquisition and joint venture rather than fighting for share in a capped market. For any entrepreneur weighing an exit, an acquisition, or a raise, this conversation offers a grounded look at how self-awareness shapes better deal decisions at every stage of a career.

If somebody deleted your entire plugin folder and told you that you could only put five back, what would you choose? That's the challenge this week on The Pro Audio Suite. Robbo, George and AP start stripping their setups back to the tools they genuinely rely on, from stock Pro Tools and Apple plugins through to Waves F6, H Reverb, SSL X Limit, TDR Nova, iZotope RX Mouth De Click and plenty more. But the conversation quickly gets bigger than simply naming favourites. Do stock plugins make more sense when you need old sessions to open years later? Do you really need a dedicated loudness plugin? Is a channel strip the smartest way to cheat the five plugin limit? And are we spending money automating jobs that are actually faster to do manually? The guys also get into Serato Pitch 'n Time Pro, Pro Tools time compression, Cvox, Hush, Waves DeBreath, TwistedWave's click repair tools, LM Correct and the strange satisfaction of still doing certain jobs the long way around. Then the rules change for AP. Forget five plugins. He can only keep three microphones. That leads to the 416, the 818, the NTG5, microphone lockers, U87s and eventually one of those classic Pro Audio Suite detours involving Betamax, VHS, Aston Martins, Triumphs, Ferraris and a lifetime of choosing the technically interesting option instead of the one that becomes ridiculously valuable. So, if you could only keep five plugins, what survives? The Pro Audio Suite is proudly supported by Tri Booth and Austrian Audio.

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, Dan, Sidey and Cris revisit Universal Soldier, the 1992 sci-fi action thriller from Roland Emmerich starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren as Vietnam soldiers killed in action, frozen, revived and turned into government-controlled super-commandos. Naturally, nothing about that plan goes wrong apart from absolutely everything.The episode opens with the realisation that the podcast has not covered nearly enough Van Damme, despite some hazy memories around Bloodsport, Kickboxer and the sacred word “Kumite”. From there the dads head into the film's Vietnam prologue, where Luc Deveraux discovers that Dolph Lundgren's Sergeant Andrew Scott has gone completely bananas, started collecting ears and decided that everyone is a traitor. Luc refuses to execute civilians, Scott kills one with a grenade, and the two men finish the scene by shooting and stabbing each other to death.Twenty-five years later, both men are back as Universal Soldiers: refrigerated black-ops zombie-cyborg-commandos who need cooling down, daily injections and convenient memory suppression. Their first big showcase comes during a hostage crisis at a dam, where they are dropped from absurd height, swim, climb, snipe and punch their way through the terrorists while the military tries very hard to keep the press away from the weird dead-men-with-cameras situation.Unfortunately for the programme, a freshly unemployed reporter sneaks into the operation, sees more than she should, and ends up on the run with Luc after Dolph's Scott starts remembering Vietnam and immediately chooses murder. What follows is a wonderfully daft road-chase movie in which Luc removes a tracker, discovers nudity-based comedy, learns that food tastes good, orders nearly everything in a diner, drinks heroic amounts of Pepsi, beats up a chef for expecting payment and slowly becomes more human while the military and a rapidly unraveling Dolph hunt him down.The dads also get into the supermarket/freezer sequence, Dolph's speeches about traitors, the prison-van chase, grenades being thrown back through windows, Luc returning home to Louisiana, Dr Gregor's extremely generous pseudoscience and the final barn fight in the rain. It is classic Van Damme business: spinning kicks, split kicks, slow motion, a syringe of Mega Juice and a massive agricultural machine waiting patiently to mince the villain at exactly the right moment.There is room for plenty of action-movie nostalgia as well. Cris remembers the film as part of a shared VHS diet alongside Kickboxer, Bloodsport, Double Impact, Commando and Total Recall, including wonderfully flat Romanian dubbing. Dan talks about Van Damme and Dolph being near the peak of their powers, while Sidey admits he skipped the film back in the day because it looked like a poor man's RoboCop, only to discover it is much more enjoyable than expected.The verdict is positive. Universal Soldier may be silly, sweaty and scientifically indefensible, but it is also fast, funny, practical, quotable and powered by two properly iconic action bodies. Sidey lands on a strong recommend, with the caveat that he is not quite ready to go spelunking through all the lower-budget sequels.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Victor also opens up about why he left Dartfish to found SportsEdTV, a free platform built to bring high-quality sports coaching and education to every athlete, parent, and coach — not just the elite.

John Alan Schwartz's Faces of Death Few films have live in the minds and memories of Gen X like 1978s Faces of Death. Presented as a documentary examining the fears, fascinations, and cult surrounding death and dying, John Alan Schwartz's film is a controversial and legendary exploitation classic. A film that was famously "Banned in 46 Countries" (a claim that is dubious, at best), Faces of Death was a taboo adolescent rite of passage that was talked about and sworn to (a documentary of real and violent footage) throughout cafeterias and playgrounds across the United States. Almost fifty years later it is clear and documented that much of the film is staged scenes and violent re-enactments. A VHS series best seller that scattered video stores with other "legendary" titles such as The Last House on the Left, The Hills Have Eyes, It Lives & It Lives Again, and I Spit on Your Grave AKA Day of the Woman, FoD lives rent free in our memories featuring images of dog fights, alligator attacks, and - probably most famously - an electrocution and the infamous monkey brain scene. Arguably the film that popularized shockumentaries, Faces of Death (and the memories we have of said film) speaks volumes to the culture. Take a listen as we reminisce and examine the impact of this "video nasty" classic.

Today we're diving into an absolutely wild romance scam involving a man accused of pretending to be a San Francisco 49ers wide receiver—or, depending on the day, an ultra-wealthy Swiss real estate mogul. Authorities say the four-year scheme targeted at least 26 women and brought in roughly $1.3 million. Apparently dating apps weren't stressful enough already.The details only get crazier. The alleged scam included social media accounts packed with 49ers gear, luxury cars and images designed to make the whole thing look legitimate. According to the story discussed on the show, some of the online material was AI-generated, and the fake identity became established enough online that search engines and AI tools reportedly started treating the guy like an actual football player.Then comes the fake wealth. Screenshots supposedly showed bank and investment accounts containing millions of dollars, and once relationships were established, an alleged accomplice would enter the picture as the “wealth manager.” Three-way calls, fake investment returns and promises of high-yield opportunities followed. When victims ran out of money or started asking questions? Suddenly their extremely successful NFL boyfriend became extremely unavailable.It launches the crew into a bigger conversation about romance scams, our weird relationship with wealth and just how easy it has become to manufacture an impressive-looking life online. Rafe points out that you barely need a real podcast anymore—you can film yourself in front of a microphone, dispense some motivational nonsense and convince the internet you've appeared on 400 episodes of something called The Alpha Wealth Mindset Experience.Okay, we made that title up. But you've absolutely seen that guy.Listeners pile on with stories of fake celebrities allegedly trying to scam people, including Martina McBride and Mark Harmon impersonators. If Mark Harmon suddenly slides into Mom's Facebook messages and needs $700 in gift cards, maybe call somebody.That's the kind of public service you only get from a funny podcast with absolutely no qualifications to provide public services.The show also tackles the old belief that celebrity deaths happen in threes and why our brains are so desperate to find patterns in random events.From there, we discover Goodwill is getting into the record-store business with a media-focused concept called Rewind. Vinyl, CDs, cassettes, VHS tapes, vintage audio gear and whatever forgotten three-disc CD changer somebody's mom finally convinced Dad to get out of the basement. It might be heaven. It might smell like somebody else's basement. Either way, we're interested.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, where things get wonderfully messy.The crew gets into music and entertainment news, including Olivia Rodrigo's Daisy Chain Fields Festival, Sarah McLachlan, Alanis Morissette and Stevie Nicks. That naturally becomes a debate over “Landslide,” including Lern's discovery that apparently nothing evacuates a Colorado bar faster than putting it on the jukebox.There's also Scott Weiland material headed for release, more Korn vinyl reissues, Limp Bizkit joining Spotify's billion-stream club and the continuing realization that the music of our youth is now getting 30th-anniversary editions. Awesome. Love having time itself personally attack us.Elsewhere, an 85-year-old Donna Mills is reportedly making serious money on OnlyFans without full nudity, which sends Rafe into an impromptu financial analysis of the subscription business model. This is technically economics if nobody from an accredited university is listening.The entertainment chaos continues with Coyote vs. Acme, a creepy movie called Buddy that basically asks what would happen if a beloved children's mascot completely snapped, and news of Tom Cruise returning as Cole Trickle for a Days of Thunder sequel alongside Anne Hathaway.The crew also discovers a movie about the creation of Hooters is in development, accidentally invents an entirely different restaurant concept during the conversation, and immediately starts yelling “trademark” because apparently that's how intellectual property law works now.Finally, we get famous musicians trashing other famous musicians. Jack White versus The Black Keys. Madonna versus Lady Gaga. Elton John versus Madonna. Kurt Cobain versus seemingly everybody. Courtney Love versus Taylor Swift. Nick Cave versus the Red Hot Chili Peppers. And Usher telling T-Pain that Auto-Tune messed up music.Nothing brings people together quite like extremely successful artists explaining why other extremely successful artists are terrible.Fake NFL stars. AI-generated lifestyles. Romance scams. KISS Army business. Celebrity impostors. Vinyl nostalgia. Music feuds. OnlyFans economics. Tom Cruise going racing again. And an alarming amount of discussion about Hooters.It's another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show, where we examine the important stories of our time and then immediately ruin any chance of being taken seriously.Listen now, subscribe, and come back for more celebrity news, weird stories, pop culture commentary, St. Louis humor and daily chaos from Rizz and the gang.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.

Nikki Glaser kicks off the show with a birthday message for Rizz, which is probably the classiest thing that happens for the next 43 minutes. Because immediately after that, this comedy podcast gets back to the story everybody has questions about: the San Francisco 49ers owner getting busted in an alleged prostitution sting at a trailer park in East Palestine, Ohio.At 9:30 in the morning. On a Sunday.The crew tries to reverse-engineer exactly how somebody with hundreds of millions of dollars winds up in this situation. Was this the final stop of an all-night bender? Did he wake up Sunday morning ready to make terrible choices? How fast does an online prostitution appointment work? Apparently it's like checking into urgent care, except your insurance company has significantly more questions.That leads to an even more important investigation: how does a police department decide who goes undercover as the prostitute? Is getting picked flattering? Is not getting picked insulting? Somehow Miss Congeniality, ugly-character casting, Marla Hooch, Home Alone, Cry-Baby, Jonah Hill, Rebel Wilson and Johnny Depp all get dragged into the conversation.Then it's time to discuss the upcoming iPhone and whether spending around $1,200 on another rectangle that looks suspiciously like your current rectangle is still exciting. The show heads Back in the Day for anniversaries involving The Wizard of Oz, Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run, Boston's legendary debut album, Lauryn Hill, Aaliyah and more.Then Crap on Celebrities brings the pop-culture buffet nobody asked us to curate.ZZ Top plays its first show following the death of drummer Frank Beard, the crew attempts to demonstrate its vast knowledge of Quando Rondo, Ella Langley continues her monster chart run with “Choosing Texas,” and Miranda Lambert enters the conversation thanks to a songwriting story involving a kangaroo. Because sure.There's also a Wendy Williams documentary on the way, which naturally leads to revisiting her infamous Statue of Liberty fainting incident and several other moments from daytime television history. We get TV cancellations, Harry Potter casting talk, massive movie box-office numbers, and news that Paramount is developing a sequel to How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.The Terminator 2 cast reunion also gets reviewed with all the tact and restraint you've come to expect from this comedy podcast. Edward Furlong gets some love, everybody realizes he was only 13 while filming the movie, and Rafe delivers the completely unnecessary observation that the reunion photo looks like “the future they were trying to prevent.”Then we meet celebrities who somehow function without smartphones. Christopher Walken doesn't have a cell phone or use email. Christopher Nolan prefers a landline. Elton John goes without a phone. Michael Cera uses an actual camera. Meanwhile, most of us get nervous if our battery drops below 30%.Birthdays follow, complete with Alexander Skarsgård, Jodi Messina, Claudia Schiffer, Tim Burton, Rob Halford, Gene Simmons, Tom Skerritt and a detour into the days when watching a really long movie required two VHS tapes. Children, ask your grandparents.And then Rafe's arm enters the chat.After roughly 30 weeks of allergy shots because he is apparently allergic to the entire planet, Rafe reveals that his weekly appointment came with a new threat: The Smelly Waiting Room Guy.This man's body odor was so aggressive that Rafe abandoned the waiting room and sat in the hallway despite being required to stick around after his shots. What follows is a full workplace-level investigation into human stink etiquette.When are you obligated to tell someone they smell? How does a manager have that conversation? Do you blame their shoes first? Can coworkers become “smell blind” to one another? What happens when you put perfume on top of funk and accidentally create an entirely new biological weapon?This comedy podcast finally reaches the conclusion society has apparently been afraid to admit: sometimes somebody just needs to tell you that you stink.No heroes. No lessons. Just onions.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.
