Variation of baseball using a plastic bat and ball

It's raining again in St. Louis, morale is low, and somehow that immediately leads the show into a heated discussion about wiffle ball bats, sewer water, and whether today's kids even understand the sacred responsibility of yelling “CAR!” during a neighborhood street game.Welcome back to another completely normal episode of The Rizzuto Show — your favorite daily comedy show where literally any topic can spiral into a debate about Costco theft, fake Middle Eastern royalty scams, and frozen-time criminal activity.This episode starts with weather complaints because apparently Missouri is now legally classified as “Sog City USA.” Then things get personal when Rizz reveals his own children saw the comments online after his now-infamous baby deer rescue story… and proceeded to roast him harder than the listeners did. Nothing says family love like your son publicly commenting “I'm disappointed in my dad” on Instagram.The crew also breaks down the latest “Best Places To Live” rankings around the St. Louis area, with St. Peter's, O'Fallon, St. Charles, and Florissant all making appearances. Naturally, this evolves into a deeply nostalgic conversation about growing up in the suburbs during the golden era of neighborhood sports. Wiffle ball. Roller hockey. Ghost runners. Tennis balls soaked in sewer juice. Homemade rules that made absolutely no sense. If you grew up in the 80s or 90s, this episode is basically a memory grenade.Then comes the hypothetical question that derails the entire room:“If you could freeze time… would you commit crimes?”And buddy… these answers escalate FAST.Rizz immediately starts plotting casino robberies, ATM thefts, Costco raids, and highway-speed experiments that would absolutely end with him stealing a Lamborghini. Moon wants unrestricted access to Area 51. Lern becomes a chaotic vigilante helping humanity one paused-time intervention at a time. And Rafe somehow invents an entire frozen-time prank universe involving Sharpies, salad tongs, and public humiliation that we legally cannot explain further here.Because this is a daily comedy show, the conversation somehow gets even weirder when the gang discusses two fake “Middle Eastern princes” who scammed investors out of $21 million while pretending to be royalty in Cleveland. Cleveland being the perfect place for a fake billionaire scheme somehow becomes the least ridiculous thing discussed all morning.Later, the crew dives into the world of dumpster diving side hustles, including college move-out season treasure hunting, curbside furniture discoveries, weird mannequin heads found in Tokyo dumpsters, and Moon accidentally giving away a valuable vintage chair because apparently nobody checked Google first.This episode has:St. Louis nostalgiaFamily dramaChildhood sports storiesWeird newsDumpster-diving economicsCelebrity-level scamsFrozen-time crimesCostco meat theft planningAnd enough sarcastic chaos to qualify as group therapyBasically: another flawless entry in the growing archive of “How Did This Conversation Get Here?” moments from The Rizzuto Show.If you love a funny podcast that sounds like your smartest and dumbest friends arguing at the same time, welcome home.Subscribe, follow, and come back tomorrow for more nonsense from your favorite daily comedy show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear 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.
From Toradol shots and “rock docs” on the road, to AI tools like Suno reshaping Nashville, to cruise-ship horror stories and fans yelling requests at charity shows… this episode of Drive That in a Small Town goes all over the map in the best way. The guys swap stories about playing hurt on tour, getting hooked up by “rock docs,” demolishing Luke Bryan's band in flag football, near-disastrous 100-yard dashes, and getting smoked by a college women's softball team. They also take a hard look at AI in songwriting, the death of old-school demo sessions, and how quality songs still rise above the noise. You'll also hear heartfelt praise for John Morgan's heart for kids, a hilarious breakdown of Zach Bryan's infamous fast-break clip, cruise stories including the notorious “Poop Cruise,” a peek into publishing contracts and quotas, and a “Dip Shit” segment calling out bad audience etiquette, shady neighbors, and 5-minute voice texts.

Listen to how it's time to take out the trash
I was reminiscing with my son the other day about when he was four and learned to play baseball. He was standing there in his little shorts, and he had his Wiffle bat and his Wiffle ball. And I stood just a few feet away from him and I gently threw the ball underhanded. And he would sort of chop at it like an ax, and I didn't know if he'd ever learn to play. Well, of course, I gave him the Dad's typical, gentle coaching and said, "Now, don't chop at it. Swing evenly. Here's how to follow through. Here's how to plant your feet. And then times changed. It got to where I couldn't pitch it fast enough, and he was hitting it all over the place. Yeah, he was good. I enjoyed coaching him. I hope I'm one of the reasons, at least, that he learned to do it right in the early stages. Actually, coaching comes almost naturally to dads; they're pretty good coaches. And I want to be sure today, dad, that you've got your Head Coach hat on and that you're making the difference. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Head Coach Dad." Now, our word for today from the Word of God is found in Ephesians 6:4. Coaches, pay attention! It says, "Fathers, do not exasperate your children. Instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord." Let me summarize the Hutchcraft translation of that verse. It says two things to dads. With your children, don't put them down, and do bring them up. Let's take the first part. There's the negative, and it's addressed particularly to fathers. And I thought, "Now, why is it said to fathers 'do not exasperate your children'?" Of course mothers shouldn't do that either, but it's stated to fathers. I think sometimes dads have awfully high expectations of kids, and we just tend to exasperate our children through setting the bar so high, and then they have to clear it higher and they've got to go higher all the time. And Dad's so hard to please. Sometimes our cutting remarks only notice what needs improving, and we don't tell them what they've done right. I know kids who have literally been defeated and decided not to even try any more because they just couldn't please Dad. And in this call to coaching, it says here that the first thing you do is to make sure that your child is never put down by you. There's nothing so cutting, so destroying to a self-image and even your hope for your own achievement, than a dad's perceived rejection. But this is a call to spiritual coaching. It doesn't just say don't put them down, it says, "Do bring them up." Are you leading spiritually in your family? Are you the one who gets everybody together to pray, Dad; who leads the way in scripture memorization? Are you the one who gets the sharing time going around the dinner table about the God-sightings you've each had today? Are you the one who teaches the Bible stories and applies them to everyday life - make sure everybody gets to church, and who models Christian conduct? You say, "Well, I'm not real good at that." You know, men tend to avoid what they're not good at. If we're not good at a sport, we usually don't show up for that sport. I'm good at softball and I'm not good at football. I'll play softball. I won't play football. Listen, don't wait until you're good at it or you'll never start. Start spending some time getting your family together spiritually and getting with the Lord together. Get them in the Lord's presence together. The only way you can fail at this is to not try. Remember, God has assigned you as the man of the house, the head coaching job in your family. Do you know what that means? Yeah, don't ever put them down, and always bring them up - in Christ.

You might know the name Jeff (or Jeffri) Chadiha from his time at Sports Illustrated or ESPN, or what he's doing now at the NFL Network.But Jeff, who makes his home in the Kansas City area, is a great spark for several nonprofits in the KC community.In fact, he's been vital to several things we've done at C You In The Major Leagues during the past seven or eight years.He was a part of the curriculum committee to help develop what became the C-10 Mentoring & Leadership program, he has participated in our Wiffle ball and Topgolf fundraisers, and he's been one of our Character Champions to help raise money for C You In The Major Leagues.

Have you ever wondered at what might happen if you served in your industry with an abundance mindset? In this episode, Jeff and Wade discuss: Wade's journey from moving repeatedly as a child, to building his own successful moving company. Growing your bootstrapped business in different marketplaces and beginning to franchise.Running your business with a mentality of abundance. Creating a values-aligned business. Key Takeaways: The money is always going to be there, you just need to know how to find it. The moving industry is a fragmented space - many don't understand their financial numbers, don't understand communication, or the technology that can help to grow the business. Seek out mentors and others in your industry doing what you want to be doing. Spend time with people at every level, lower, higher, and right where you are at, but also don't forget to spend time with yourself in reflection and growth. "It's that mindset of just being open to helping other people. I like to spend my time with 30% of people well above me, 30% of people on my level that we can push and hold each other accountable, and then 30% of people that I can help below me because you never know when they're going to be able to help you again in the future, and then 10% to yourself - it's important to reflect, keep a clear head, meditate, and enjoy your personal life." — Wade Swikle About Wade Swikle: Wade is a 2-time graduate from the University of Florida, with a Master's Degree in Entrepreneurship (but he likes to refer to it as his Master's Degree in Moving). Wade hosts the Grow Your Moving Company Podcast as well as Moving Titan Retreats, where he regularly learns from the best in the business on how to provide the ultimate experience for clients as well as educating other movers on how to do the same. As a former baseball player, Wade is Considered a ‘semi professional' Wiffle-ball player, competing in tournaments around the state.

Wellness Wednesday. One day a week on my one hour weekday radio show, I cover all things health and wellness related. Things I find important or interesting that I like to share with others who might benefit. If even one nugget of new knowledge helps one of you listening or reading here, my time has been well spent. This Wellness Wednesday show podcast is just me talking. No guests. Just Me. (and occasionally my engineer Bob) There was big news this week that we have a crisis of loneliness going on here in the U.S. Half of the U.S. Adults are feeling lonely every day? How horrible is that? The U.S. Surgeon General released an advisory on Tuesday calling attention to the public health crisis of loneliness, isolation, and lack of connection in the United States. Everyone should read the story from ABC News called ‘US Surgeon General calls for action regarding the ongoing 'epidemic of loneliness and isolation', by Emma Egan. The report highlights that a lack of social connection can present significant health risks, as loneliness can increase risk of premature death by 26% and social isolation by 29%. On the flip side…U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy was quoted as saying, "Social connection can reduce the health risks associated with isolation and loneliness.” “By taking small steps every day to strengthen our relationships, we can rise to meet this moment together… And we can ensure our country and the world are better posed than ever to take on the challenges that lay ahead.” I'm personally suggesting that everybody put a little more effort into stepping up your social connections for your own sake and for the good of us all. And check in with a friend, a family member or someone who you think might need a dose of caring…just because. Hey if parrots can do it we can do it. What? You missed the story about the parrots being taught to call each other to become less lonely? It's True. U.S. scientists got owners to train their pet parrots to contact other birds using a touchscreen tablet. Read the story in The Guardian Here. Other Topics I covered this episode include; Why are Teen Girls Suffering from Record Levels of Sadness and Suicidality? A very disturbing report from Amen CLINICS. Parents and caretakers of teenage girls really need to read this. World Password Day. Celebrated the first Thursday of May exists to raise awareness about the importance of password security. I say create passwords that makes you smile each time you type one in! What Does a Kids Healthy Eating Plate Look Like? Just because I always have a stash of emergency lollipops and gummies in my car, doesn't mean I don't ‘try' and teach my little granddaughter about healthy eating. The Kid's Healthy Eating Plate featured on Harvard.edu is a visual guide to help educate and encourage children to eat well and keep moving. Everyone and their mother is playing Pickleball. What's the draw — and is it really a workout? Found some good answers in this NY Times story here; I only tried Pickleball once but so far I don't think like the Pickleball ‘ball'. As a tennis player I'm not sure I can get used to what feels like a WIFFLE BALL. While we're on the subject of Wiffle Balls (we weren't but who cares) did you know where the Wiffle Ball came from? It was Summer 1953, and a Dad was watching his kids play a game in their backyard in Fairfield Ct. using a perforated plastic gold ball and a broomstick handle. The rest of the story and family legacy is here on Wiffle.com Ever get an allergic reaction and freak out? Me too. That's relaxing, eh? It's why I always carry Benadryl with me especially when traveling. ‘Allergies in the sky: Airlines are pressed to treat severe reactions', was a report this week from NBC. The FAA is considering updates to their emergency kits including Epi Pens, pediatric doses of antihistamines and meds to reverse opioid overdoses. BTW: AN EpiPen® is an auto-injector that contains epinephrine, a medication that can help decrease your body's allergic reaction by: Relaxing the muscles in your airways to make breathing easier Helping to reverse the rapid and dangerous decrease in blood pressure Relaxing the muscles in the stomach, intestines, and bladder EpiPen® is for emergency treatment only and does not replace seeing a healthcare provider or going to the hospital.
