  DAILY SHOW: She's My Pumpkin Coach | The Rizzuto Comedy Podcast 21.10.2026 2h 53min

  Is candy a snack? Why does choosing something on Netflix feel like a full-time job? And who the hell needs emergency sourdough hidden under their desk? Welcome to The Rizzuto Show, where Halloween is approaching, the wigs are disappearing, and nobody is qualified to investigate anything.Rizz, Moon Valjean, King Scott Lern, and Rafe Williams are serving up a triple helping of St. Louis morning show chaos in this funny podcast packed with ridiculous debates, celebrity gossip, rock music, questionable Halloween costumes, and stories that probably should have stayed in the group chat.First, Rizz asks a deceptively simple question: Is candy a snack or a treat? What follows is a full-blown nutritional identity crisis involving Hershey bars, Skittles, Little Debbie snack cakes, Rice Krispies Treats, applesauce, and the long-lost glory of SnackWell's cookies. Moon thinks candy deserves its own category, Lern has very specific rules about sour candy, and Rafe is just trying to figure out why everybody suddenly forgot what a snack is. Somewhere, a bag of chips is feeling extremely superior.Then it's time for Strip Club or Daycare?, the listener game where real business names are so confusing that even the lifelines need lifelines. With names like Giggly Wiggly, Perfect Angels, The Mouse's Ear, and Touched by an Angel, callers compete for concert tickets while the crew discovers that naming a business might be the most dangerous creative exercise in America.Meanwhile, Ludo crashes the studio to preview their three-night Halludoween celebration at The Pageant in St. Louis. The band talks costumes, different setlists, special guests, elaborate stage production, and the announcement that they're taking the following year off from the annual event. There's also a completely fictional dragon, some aggressive glockenspiel appreciation, and an incredible live performance of their Halloween song “Scare Me.” Because nothing says spooky season like a rock band showing up with an instrument nobody on the show knows how to discuss responsibly.The music nostalgia continues with Gin Blossoms, as the crew revisits the band's '90s hits, talks about their Stifel Charity Classic appearance, and gets into the kind of rock-radio conversation that makes you realize everybody has a slightly different memory of the alternative music era. There's also a deep dive into bands touring without original members, Tom Petty guitar collectibles, and the eternal question of when a band is still technically the same band.Then comes streaming fatigue, the modern condition where you spend 40 minutes scrolling through Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+, watch three trailers, argue about your options, and ultimately go to bed without watching anything. Rizz discovers that streaming subscribers reportedly waste 110 hours a year just looking for something to watch. Rafe accidentally chooses the wrong Halloween II, Moon can't read half the titles on his TV anymore, and Rizz's new iPhone comes with an unexpected milestone: increasing the font size. Congratulations, technology has officially become an aging simulator.The celebrity commentary gets even more ridiculous when the gang examines Tim McGraw's extremely dramatic tan alongside family photos with Faith Hill. Is it sunshine? Bronzer? A spray-tan setting that should require a permit? Nobody knows, but everyone has an opinion, and the comparisons get increasingly unhelpful.And just when you think this daily comedy show has exhausted its supply of nonsense, Rafe's Reba McEntire wig goes missing.That's right. A full-scale investigation begins over a missing wig, and everyone in the studio becomes a suspect. During the search, Rafe discovers Rizz's emergency sourdough bread stash, which apparently serves as an essential workplace survival resource. Forget fire extinguishers. In this building, you're getting a loaf of bread and a motivational insult.Halloween costume planning is equally unhinged. Rizz and Rafe are preparing for The Lost Boys, with Rizz taking on Kiefer Sutherland's David and Rafe attempting to recreate the movie's legendary saxophone player. The problem? Rafe needs an actual saxophone, an impressive tan, and enough confidence to spend the night dressed like an oiled-up '80s music-video fever dream. Lern has Boogie Nights plans involving roller skates, Moon considers costume options, and everybody debates the fine line between Halloween dedication and making a terrible personal decision.Add in wig swaps, the mysterious Fart Police Incident, weird entertainment news, old-school rock arguments, and the everyday nonsense that somehow qualifies as a professional broadcasting career, and you've got another funny podcast from the people who can turn absolutely nothing into an entire morning of entertainment.Whether you're here for Ludo's live performance, Gin Blossoms nostalgia, Halloween comedy, celebrity news, the snack-versus-treat controversy, or the mystery of why a grown man needs emergency sourdough, The Rizzuto Show delivers the sarcastic humor and ridiculous conversations that make St. Louis mornings just a little less normal.It's another funny podcast full of music, laughs, questionable judgment, and grown adults behaving like they were left unsupervised at a Halloween party.And somehow, that's exactly why you keep listening.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.‘We’re Going to Die’: Plane Passengers Recall Runway Evacuation After Emergency Landing in St. LouisWhat was that mysterious object being transported along North Lindbergh?Attorney in K9 bite civil rights trial says police used word ‘fart’ during SWAT raidBricklayer, 49, travels 1,200 miles for dream girl — only to discover she’s AI-generatedWhy Choosing What To Watch Feels So Overwhelming In Today's Streaming Era, According To Experts See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

  Is Candy a Snack? Strip Club or Daycare & Ludo's Halloween Takeover 21.10.2026 31min

  Is candy actually a snack? Can you tell a strip club from a daycare center? And why is Ludo threatening to take away Halloween for an entire year? Welcome to The Rizzuto Show, where the questions are ridiculous, the answers are somehow worse, and the glockenspiel is getting way too much attention.Rizz, Moon Valjean, Lern, Rafe Williams, and the gang are back with another funny podcast packed with Halloween madness, bizarre debates, listener games, St. Louis music, and the kind of conversations that make you wonder how anyone at 105.7 The Point gets actual work done.First up: an earth-shattering question that nobody asked but everybody suddenly has an opinion about.Is candy a snack, or is candy a treat?Sounds simple, right? Wrong. Apparently, this is the kind of philosophical nightmare that can bring an entire morning show to a grinding halt.Rizz argues that snacks should be more like potato chips. Lern thinks chocolate bars might qualify, but Skittles and sour candy belong in their own category. Moon insists candy is a celebration, a bonus, or a dessert—especially while he's trying to cut added sugar out of his life. Meanwhile, Rafe is desperately trying to explain that if you're eating something between meals, it probably counts as a snack.Then somebody brings up snack cakes.And cookies.And Rice Krispies Treats.And applesauce.And grapes.Before long, the crew is questioning everything they've ever known about food. The only thing everybody seems to agree on is that the name “Rice Krispies Treats” makes a pretty compelling argument.The debate also sends everyone down memory lane with SnackWell's cookies, those supposedly guilt-free desserts that made an entire generation believe eating chocolate-covered marshmallow cookies was basically a wellness routine.Somewhere, a nutritionist just turned off the radio.Then it's time for one of the show's most gloriously questionable games: Strip Club or Daycare?Rafe reads the names of real businesses, and callers have to figure out whether they're looking at an establishment for adult entertainment or a place where someone should probably be teaching children their ABCs.Sounds easy until you hear names like Giggly Wiggly, Perfect Angels, Dream On, The Mouse's Ear, Little Playhouse, and Touched by an Angel.Suddenly, nobody is confident about anything.Callers from around the St. Louis area—including O'Fallon, Festus, Wentzville, and Bridgeton—put their judgment to the test with Moon and Lern serving as lifelines. Unfortunately, the lifelines are occasionally just as confused as the contestants.Some players walk away with concert tickets. Others walk away knowing they've apparently been making some very questionable assumptions about the childcare industry.And Rizz? He's struggling to get certain words out correctly, giving Rafe approximately 47 opportunities to roast him before the next commercial break.But the real Halloween excitement arrives when Ludo takes over the studio to preview their annual Halludoween celebration at The Pageant in St. Louis.The band is gearing up for three nights of elaborate performances, different setlists, special guests, costumes, and the kind of theatrical production that has turned Halludoween into a tradition for fans traveling from across the country—and even overseas.There's just one catch.Ludo announces they're taking the following year off from Halludoween.That's right. After this three-night extravaganza, the band plans to skip next year's event while exploring other creative possibilities.Naturally, Rizz reacts like somebody just canceled Christmas.The guys explain why they're stepping away temporarily, how they keep the shows fresh every night, and why fans should expect different songs, different opening acts, and a few surprises throughout the weekend.They also break down the lineup, including The Pink Tax, Bug Hunter, Convey and Bowers, The Effects, Maddie Shell, and Stop.Drop.Rewind, along with a special appearance from the Funky Butt Horns.Ludo promises fan favorites like “Love Me Dead” and “Lake Pontchartrain,” plus deeper cuts that might only appear on one of the three nights.Then the crew starts asking about the stage production.Will there be costumes? Absolutely.Elaborate theatrical elements? Of course.A giant fire-breathing dragon?Well, somebody says there will be one.Then immediately admits they made that up.So if you're attending Halludoween specifically for the dragon, you may want to adjust your expectations.The band also talks about how much rehearsal goes into preparing for three full nights of music, how the fan costumes have become part of the experience, and why St. Louis is such a special place for ambitious live productions.And just when you think the interview can't get any better, Ludo performs “Scare Me” live in the studio.It's a spooky, theatrical Halloween performance complete with eerie storytelling, big musical energy, and an unexpected star of the show: a glockenspiel.Yes, a glockenspiel.The crew becomes so fascinated with the instrument that the conversation nearly turns into a separate interview with the glockenspiel itself.By the end, Rizz is practically demanding that it get its own stage moment, preferably with some Jimi Hendrix-style pyrotechnics. Because nothing says Halloween like setting a percussion instrument on fire.From candy classifications and forgotten snack foods to confusing business names, concert ticket giveaways, Halloween costumes, and a full-blown Ludo studio performance, this funny podcast is everything that makes The Rizzuto Show a beautifully chaotic St. Louis morning show.If you love sarcastic humor, ridiculous debates, live music, funny stories, and the kind of daily comedy that turns a harmless candy question into a philosophical crisis, this episode has you covered.Join Rizz and the gang for another funny podcast, where candy is apparently not food, daycare names require a background check, and Ludo is taking Halloween so seriously they might need a year to recover.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.

  Streaming Fatigue, Fake Bands & Tim McGraw's Nuclear Tan 21.10.2026 40min

  We're wasting 110 hours a year looking for something to stream, some of our favorite bands have zero original members, and Tim McGraw has apparently been spending quality time inside a toaster oven.Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, the funny podcast where Rizz, Moon Valjean, Lern, and Rafe Williams turn everyday annoyances, music nostalgia, celebrity gossip, and questionable life decisions into another perfectly dysfunctional morning in St. Louis.First, Rizz has officially crossed a major milestone in adulthood: he bought a new iPhone and voluntarily increased the font size.Not all the way to giant letters. Just a little.He's not ready for the senior-citizen phone just yet, but the clock is ticking. Moon isn't doing much better, admitting he can barely read the titles on his television's streaming menus anymore. The gang quickly realizes that aging isn't just about your knees making noises when you stand up. It's about needing reading glasses to decide whether you want to watch a movie.Which brings us to streaming fatigue.According to a statistic discussed on the show, the average American streaming subscriber spends 110 hours a year just searching for something to watch. That's more than four full days of scrolling through Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and everything else before eventually giving up and going to bed.Rafe knows the struggle. He's spent entire evenings debating movie choices, only to end up watching a disappointing Halloween II remake. Rizz admits he's opened every streaming service, found absolutely nothing, and simply surrendered to sleep.The crew even considers an incredible new invention: a service that just plays shows at scheduled times so you don't have to choose.Yes. They've reinvented cable television.Then it's time for a musical identity crisis.Rizz dives into the world of classic rock bands touring without any founding members. Lynyrd Skynyrd, Little River Band, Molly Hatchet, and other legendary acts spark a surprisingly passionate debate: when the original musicians are gone, is it still the same band?Moon argues that the spirit of a group can survive if the sound and tradition are passed down properly. Lern wonders whether younger bands would ever get away with the same thing. Rafe considers the musical version of replacing every part of a car and still calling it original.And naturally, someone brings up KISS, GWAR, Journey, Queen, and No Doubt.Apparently, rock and roll immortality comes with a complicated employee handbook.The music conversation continues with a preview of Andy from Gin Blossoms calling the show and Ludo stopping by the studio. The crew reminisces about '90s alternative rock, the Gin Blossoms' biggest hits, and whether the band was secretly making music specifically for the ladies. Because nothing says sophisticated musical criticism like four radio personalities arguing about the romantic intentions of “Hey Jealousy.”Meanwhile, the audience comes through with actual useful advice. Lern thanks listeners for helping her figure out who should deal with tree branches hanging over utility wires and how to clean cloudy headlights. Her husband Tim puts the headlight trick to the test, and the results are apparently impressive.The Rizz Show audience: solving household problems while the hosts struggle to operate a television.Then Lern delivers a massive helping of Crap on Celebrities, starting with Tim McGraw's induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame.A tremendous honor.Unfortunately, the internet was more interested in his tan.The country superstar's extremely bronzed appearance becomes the subject of an extended studio investigation, with comparisons to microwaved hot dogs, bodybuilding competitions, and a spray-tan appointment that desperately needed adult supervision.The gang also gets into Mickey Rourke thanking Bruce Springsteen and Dana White for helping him during a difficult financial period, Alex Warren's fans asking him to autograph urns containing loved ones' ashes, the Eagles extending their Sphere residency, and a new wave of music documentaries.Moon recalls celebrating New Year's Eve in Flagstaff, Arizona, where they drop a giant pine cone at midnight. Rafe remembers an unforgettable Beale Street experience featuring B.B. King. And Lern discusses Nashville's massive New Year's Eve celebration.There's also a limited-edition Tom Petty Flying V guitar that Moon desperately wants, an American Horror Story discussion, bizarre ancestry revelations involving the Sprouse twins, Roseanne Barr's plans for a new sitcom, and Pauly Shore's return to horror with the short film Remain Calm.Plus, the crew talks about Christina Applegate's reported medical uncertainty, Mel Brooks returning for the Spaceballs sequel, and the upcoming Halludoween shows from Ludo.It's streaming frustration, rock-and-roll identity theft, celebrity chaos, nostalgic music arguments, and one extremely committed country-music tan.If you love funny stories, entertainment gossip, weird news, pop culture commentary, and the kind of sarcastic humor that makes morning radio worth getting out of bed for, this funny podcast has everything except a reasonable explanation for Tim McGraw's bronzer budget.Join Rizz and the gang for another funny podcast from St. Louis, where the music is classic, the television menus are unreadable, and apparently the secret to becoming a country legend is looking like you've been basted in butter.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.

  Wig Swaps, Emergency Sourdough & The Fart Police Incident 21.10.2026 1h 6min

  Rafe's Reba McEntire wig has vanished, Rizz is apparently stockpiling emergency sourdough, and an airline reportedly offered passengers a $12 food voucher after a terrifying emergency landing. Welcome to The Rizzuto Show, where every disaster comes with a punchline and customer service is somehow the biggest horror story.Rizz, Moon Valjean, Lern, Rafe Williams, and the gang are back with another funny podcast loaded with St. Louis news, Halloween chaos, bizarre discoveries, hilarious personal stories, and the kind of conversations that should probably never make it past a morning production meeting.First, there's an emergency at the radio station. Rafe's beloved Reba McEntire wig is missing, and absolutely everybody is a suspect. While searching the office, he discovers Rizz's emergency sourdough bread stash, which raises several important questions. Why does a grown man need emergency bread? How much sourdough constitutes a survival kit? And why does this studio have enough wigs to open a questionable hair salon?The crew also prepares for Halloween, with Rizz planning to dress as David from The Lost Boys and Rafe taking on the legendary shirtless saxophone player. Unfortunately, Rafe still needs an actual saxophone, a tan, and possibly a little more confidence. Lern is going as Roller Girl from Boogie Nights, which means she'll be wearing roller skates on a boat. Nothing could possibly go wrong there.Meanwhile, Moon considers Halloween costume possibilities, and the gang takes a nostalgic detour through forgotten '80s hair metal, Burt Reynolds movies, and the arrival of Nirvana that changed rock music forever.Then there's the surprisingly lucrative business of decorating people's porches with pumpkins. One entrepreneur charges hundreds or even thousands of dollars to arrange seasonal decorations, leading the crew to debate whether this is a brilliant business model or proof that people will pay almost anything to avoid doing yard work.Rafe also gives an update on his beloved elderly puggle, Beau, whose luxurious lifestyle includes multiple dog beds, personal transportation, and a potential birthday celebration that gets wildly out of hand. The crew even starts planning an elaborate photo shoot and charity calendar. Apparently, this dog has a better retirement plan than most Americans.But things take a serious turn with the story of an American Eagle flight from St. Louis to Philadelphia that reportedly experienced mechanical trouble, smoke, falling oxygen masks, and an emergency landing. Passengers were told to leave their belongings and run from the aircraft.Terrifying enough.Then the gang hears about the reported compensation: a $12 airport food voucher.Twelve dollars.At an airport.Congratulations on surviving. Please enjoy approximately three bites of a sandwich.Rizz, Moon, Lern, and Rafe debate what passengers should receive after an experience like that, with suggestions ranging from free flights to airline stock. Rafe also shares his own frustrating experience with a canceled connecting flight that left him driving from Denver to St. Louis.And because St. Louis apparently can't go a week without something bizarre appearing on the road, the crew discusses a mysterious aircraft-shaped object transported down Lindbergh Boulevard. The object turns out to be a Boeing MQ-25 Stingray unmanned refueling aircraft, sparking a debate about military technology, social media, and whether sensitive equipment should be hauled around looking like a prop from a science-fiction movie.It's Halloween costumes, missing wigs, emergency bread, pet-parent chaos, aviation nightmares, weird St. Louis sightings, and sarcastic humor from a crew that can turn almost any headline into a completely unnecessary argument.If you love strange news, ridiculous stories, pop culture commentary, and the unpredictable energy of a St. Louis morning show, this funny podcast is exactly the kind of bad influence your commute deserves.Join Rizz and the gang for another episode of this funny podcast, where the wigs are itchy, the bread is for emergencies only, and a $12 airline voucher might be the scariest Halloween surprise of all.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.

  DAILY SHOW: Shark-Infested Surfing, Greek Fire's Comeback & The Coffin Buffet | The Rizzuto Comedy Podcast 20.10.2026 2h 54min

  Shark-infested surfing, an escaped inmate, Greek Fire's epic comeback, and a $250 coffin buffet. Just another perfectly normal day on The Rizzuto Show.Rizz, Moon Valjean, Lern, Rafe Williams, and King Scott are back with another chaotic funny podcast packed with bizarre St. Louis news, celebrity gossip, hilarious fails, and the kind of conversations that make you question how these people are allowed near microphones.Rafe kicks things off by revealing that he once went surfing in San Diego during great white shark season. The best part? His friend waited until Rafe was already in the water to mention the sharks. Nothing like learning to surf while dressed as a delicious, confused sea lion.Back in St. Louis, the crew discusses a wild escape from the City Justice Center, where an inmate reportedly crawled through the ceiling and walked out past malfunctioning security systems. Things get even stranger when a listener calls in with his own decades-old jail escape story. The gang also covers serious local crime headlines, debates the future of ziplining at Creve Coeur Park, and puts Missouri stereotypes under the microscope in the Great St. Louis Debate.On a much happier note, Moon celebrates Greek Fire's triumphant return to Delmar Hall after seven years without a full headlining show. With theatrical production, new music, and an emotional moment watching his son sing along in the crowd, it's a reminder of just how incredible St. Louis music can be.Meanwhile, Lern discovers Cat Collector, an app that's basically Pokémon Go for neighborhood cats. Because apparently taking pictures of random cats wasn't enough. Now she can collect them, track them, and potentially turn her entire neighborhood into a feline treasure hunt.The crew also discusses Grand Theft Auto 6 and its potential billion-dollar impact on workplace productivity, while Crap on Celebrities delivers entertainment gossip involving Taylor Swift, Mötley Crüe, Ted Lasso, and more. Naturally, the conversation eventually turns into an argument about the greatest cartoon villains of the 1980s.Then comes the Great American Geography Disaster, where Rizz and Moon ace a blank map of the United States while Lern struggles to locate Delaware and Rafe temporarily forgets Alabama exists. Somewhere, a fifth-grade geography teacher just started crying.And finally, Facebook Marketplace Price Is Right returns with some truly disturbing local listings: a crocheted Halloween surprise, creepy dental models, a Gremlin skeleton, a questionable teddy bear magnet, and a full-size coffin converted into a buffet table for $250. Because nothing says “enjoy the nachos” quite like eating them out of a casket.The grand finale? A 1983 Chrysler LeBaron that used to talk, listed for $3,800 despite a collection of mechanical problems. Moon wins the pricing challenge, proving that vintage automotive knowledge is apparently more useful than knowing where Wyoming is.From shark encounters and St. Louis crime stories to rock-and-roll celebrations, weird technology, horror movie villains, celebrity chaos, and Facebook Marketplace nightmares, this funny podcast delivers everything you love about The Rizzuto Show: sarcastic humor, funny stories, pop culture commentary, and absolutely unnecessary arguments.Join Rizz and the gang for another installment of this funny podcast, where the geography is questionable, the shopping decisions are worse, and the only thing scarier than a great white shark is somebody serving dinner out of a coffin.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.Arlington couple charged in fatal shooting of 17-year-old on St. Louis highwayCook threatened to torch Maplewood chicken restaurantAnother zip line course struggling See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

  Map Mayhem, Casket Cuisine & The Talking LeBaron Showdown 20.10.2026 30min

  Lern can't find Delaware, Rafe forgot Alabama existed, somebody in Missouri is selling a coffin buffet, and a 1983 Chrysler LeBaron might be the most emotionally available vehicle ever manufactured. Welcome to The Rizzuto Show, where the education system has officially requested a refund.It's another spectacularly questionable morning on The Rizzuto Show, the funny podcast where St. Louis comedy, weird Facebook Marketplace listings, terrible geography skills, and vintage automotive technology come together to prove that adulthood is mostly just pretending you remember things from fifth grade.Rizz, Moon Valjean, Lern, Rafe Williams, and King Scott are back with a daily dose of sarcastic humor, ridiculous discoveries, and the kind of friendly workplace humiliation that probably wouldn't survive a corporate team-building seminar.And today, it all begins with a blank map of the United States.Sounds harmless, right?Wrong.THE GREAT AMERICAN GEOGRAPHY DISASTERSomebody decided the crew should try filling in all 50 states on a blank map, and within minutes, the studio became a living argument against standardized testing.Rizz and Moon apparently knocked out the entire country in under three minutes with perfect scores. Naturally, they celebrated by wandering around correcting everybody else's work like two insufferable fifth-grade honor students.Meanwhile, Lern was experiencing a geographical crisis.Delaware? Possibly somewhere near Montana.Wyoming? Missing in action.Nebraska? Apparently farther north than expected.And New England? Just a confusing collection of tiny states that nobody wants to deal with before breakfast.Rafe wasn't doing much better. He knew Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia were somewhere near each other, but determining the actual order was becoming a full-blown investigation.At one point, he admitted he'd temporarily forgotten Alabama existed.That's not a geography mistake. That's an entire state being deleted from your mental hard drive.The crew debates the locations of Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Delaware while Moon attempts to explain the map without completely losing his patience.Spoiler alert: Nobody leaves this exercise feeling particularly intelligent.If you've ever looked at a blank map and suddenly questioned everything you learned in elementary school, congratulations. You're qualified to join the show.FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE: THE PRICE IS WRONG, PROBABLYOnce the geography disaster finally ends, the gang moves on to something much more educational: guessing the prices of absolute nonsense being sold by strangers on Facebook Marketplace.Rafe Williams takes over as the show's deeply suspicious auctioneer for another round of Facebook Marketplace Price Is Right, where listeners team up with Rizz Show members and try to win concert tickets by correctly estimating the asking prices of local listings.The rules are simple: Get as close as possible without going over.The merchandise? Anything but simple.First up is a handmade Halloween decoration from Curryville, Missouri, described as a surprise pumpkin ghost.Sounds adorable.Until you lift the little ghost covering and discover a crocheted anatomical surprise.That's right. Somebody made a festive pumpkin-themed private part, listed it online, and apparently found enough customers to start taking back orders.The asking price? $25.King Scott wins the round, because apparently knowing the market value of handmade Halloween anatomy is one of his hidden talents.Next comes a terrifying dental training model from the Dittmer area, complete with a silicone mouth full of disturbingly crooked teeth.It's the sort of object you'd expect to find in a dentist's office, a horror movie, or the basement of somebody who insists they're completely normal.Moon suspects it could be expensive.He's right.The asking price is $150, and Moon takes the victory.Who knew creepy practice teeth were such a valuable commodity?Then the gang encounters a 3D-printed Gremlin skeleton being sold in Wentzville, Missouri.The listing claims it's three feet tall, although the crew spends an impressive amount of time arguing over whether the photograph actually supports that measurement.Is it three feet? Thirty inches? Three inches? Is the couch enormous?Nobody knows, but everybody has an opinion.The gang debates the value of 3D printing, the questionable business decisions of Marketplace sellers, and whether anyone actually wants a Gremlin skeleton in their living room.The price turns out to be just $30, making it a surprisingly affordable way to terrify houseguests.King Scott wins again.Then there's a vintage 1999 Bad Taste Bears magnet named Willie.It's a teddy bear wearing a trench coat.Unfortunately, the trench coat is open.Very open.Somebody apparently kept this charming little collectible in a bar for years before deciding the world deserved another chance to own it.The asking price? $25.That's a lot of money for a refrigerator magnet that should probably come with a warning from Human Resources.THE CASKET BUFFET NOBODY REQUESTEDJust when you think Facebook Marketplace can't possibly get more bizarre, Rafe unveils the crown jewel of questionable party planning.A full-size casket from Moscow Mills, Missouri.But this isn't just any casket.Somebody has repurposed it into a buffet table, complete with serving trays.Because apparently the missing ingredient at your next Halloween party is the sensation of eating potato salad out of a coffin.The gang immediately revisits an old discussion about funeral nachos and starts imagining the catering possibilities.A coffin full of nachos?A final resting place for mostaccioli?A six-foot-long buffet of questionable life choices?The seller originally wanted $400 but dropped the asking price to $250 for a Halloween special.King Scott nails the closest bid without going over, continuing his deeply concerning dominance in the marketplace of things nobody should reasonably own.Seriously, how does this man know what a used coffin buffet costs?And should we be asking follow-up questions?THE TALKING CHRYSLER LEBARON SHOWDOWNFor the grand finale, Rafe brings out something genuinely fascinating.A 1983 Chrysler LeBaron Mark Cross Edition convertible listed around Columbia and Dupo, Illinois.It's got wood-grain styling, leather seats, new tires, a cracked windshield, leaking power steering, questionable shocks, and a feature that absolutely steals the show.The car talks.Or at least, it used to.The LeBaron originally featured an electronic voice-alert system that could interrupt the radio to tell drivers about low fuel, oil pressure, seat belts, and other vehicle warnings.Imagine driving down the highway while your car speaks to you in the stern, disappointed voice of a father who just saw your report card.The gang digs into the technology, listens to examples of vintage talking-car alerts, and immediately starts imagining what else the LeBaron might say if somebody reprogrammed it.Naturally, the conversation becomes wildly inappropriate for an automotive history lesson.The original talking feature on this particular car no longer works, but the crew still debates whether its collectible appeal makes up for the mechanical problems.Moon guesses $3,300.King Scott goes with $2,500.The other bids fall considerably lower.The actual asking price?$3,800.Moon wins, proving that sometimes the secret to Facebook Marketplace success is understanding that an old car with a broken windshield and a dead voice system can still be priced like a beloved family heirloom.Would anybody actually pay that much?That's another question entirely.ST. LOUIS COMEDY, TERRIBLE MAPS & BEAUTIFULLY BAD SHOPPING DECISIONSThis episode is packed with the kind of weird news, funny stories, local discoveries, and sarcastic commentary that make The Rizzuto Show a uniquely chaotic morning radio experience.From Lern's battle with Delaware to Rafe's Halloween-themed Marketplace finds, from King Scott's uncanny pricing instincts to Moon's surprising knowledge of vintage convertibles, every segment proves that you never know what you're going to learn on this show.Sometimes it's the location of Rhode Island.Sometimes it's the going rate for a crocheted pumpkin surprise.And sometimes it's the horrifying realization that somebody out there has turned a coffin into a catering business opportunity.Whether you're listening from St. Louis, Southern Illinois, or anywhere else that appreciates a little daily comedy with absolutely no educational standards, this funny podcast delivers the laughs, the arguments, and the wonderfully unnecessary details you didn't know your morning needed.So grab your coffee, refresh your knowledge of the 50 states, and maybe reconsider whatever you're about to purchase on Facebook Marketplace.Because somewhere out there, somebody is selling a talking Chrysler LeBaron for $3,800.And somebody else is serving dinner out of a coffin.Join Rizz and the gang for another episode of the funny podcast where the prices are ridiculous, the geography is worse, and the only thing more confused than the crew is the audience trying to figure out why they're still listening.See you tomorrow.Assuming we can find Missouri on the map.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.

  Cats, Mangoes & The Return of Greek Fire 20.10.2026 41min

  Greek Fire is back after seven years, Lern has discovered Pokémon Go for actual cats, and Grand Theft Auto 6 might cost the economy a billion dollars. Just another perfectly normal morning with The Rizzuto Show.Welcome to another episode of The Rizzuto Show, the funny podcast where St. Louis rock legends, celebrity gossip, ridiculous apps, and questionable financial decisions all share the same microphone. Rizz, Moon Valjean, Lern, Rafe Williams, and King Scott are back with a daily dose of comedy, weird news, entertainment updates, and enough sarcasm to make your morning commute slightly less miserable.And today, we're celebrating something genuinely awesome: the return of Greek Fire!After seven years without a full headlining show, Moon Valjean and Greek Fire returned to the stage at Delmar Hall for an incredible night of music, theatrical production, and some seriously emotional moments.Moon breaks down the band's massive 90-minute performance, complete with multimedia visuals, multiple acts, costume changes, and brand-new music from their upcoming record. The crew shares their favorite moments, including the return of fan-favorite songs, an enthusiastic St. Louis crowd, and the impressive behind-the-scenes production team that helped bring everything together.But the moment that really got Moon? Seeing his son in the audience, singing along and enjoying the music as an actual fan.Yeah, we got emotional. Don't make it weird.The show also helped support Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital, and Moon shares what's next for Greek Fire, including plans for new music and merchandise.Of course, we can't stay sentimental forever. This is The Rizzuto Show, and somebody is always one conversation away from ruining a beautiful moment.Enter Lern's latest obsession: Cat Collector.Imagine Pokémon Go, except instead of hunting imaginary creatures, you're photographing actual neighborhood cats and building a digital collection of every feline you encounter.There's a cat map. There are cat sightings. There are plans for cats with special powers.And naturally, Lern is immediately interested.The gang debates whether this is the greatest app ever invented for crazy cat ladies or a suspiciously efficient way to locate everybody's pets. There's also the small matter of a $35 annual subscription.Will Lern pay for the privilege of collecting cats she doesn't own? Will Moon finally find his elusive Maine Coon? And how long before somebody turns a harmless cat app into a full-blown neighborhood surveillance operation?Meanwhile, Grand Theft Auto 6 is apparently preparing to become more than a video game. It's becoming an economic event.The crew discusses a prediction that roughly 1.5 million Americans could skip work when the game launches, potentially costing businesses a billion dollars in lost productivity. They also marvel at the game's enormous reported development budget and the rumors that Rockstar Games offered Daft Punk an open checkbook to reunite for the soundtrack.Daft Punk reportedly said no.Imagine having so much money that somebody offers you practically unlimited cash and your response is basically, "Nah, we're good."Must be nice.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, where the entertainment world once again proves that fame doesn't automatically come with common sense.Lern brings the latest on Mötley Crüe's Las Vegas residency, Vince Neil's health history, and whether Moon should just take over lead vocals. Taylor Swift is back in the headlines after a reported awkward encounter with a fan filming her at a Kansas City Chiefs game, prompting a debate about celebrity privacy, superstar status, and whether fame eventually becomes bigger than the music itself.The crew also discusses Dominic Fike's older song finding new life on TikTok, possible future episodes of Ted Lasso, and rumors involving Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein.Yes, Roy Kent and J.Lo.Lern is concerned. Moon is concerned. Everybody seems concerned.Somebody should probably check on Roy.Things get even stranger with a tour of supposedly haunted country music landmarks, including Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, Graceland, and places rumored to have some very famous ghosts hanging around.Because apparently even Elvis can't get a little peace and quiet.The gang also discusses serious allegations in Halle Berry's ongoing custody dispute, Eric Dane's memoir and reflections on his struggles with addiction and ALS, and remembers the late Office Space actor Richard Riehle by revisiting the legendary Jump to Conclusions Mat.And just when you think the entertainment news is finished, the entire studio gets into an argument over the greatest cartoon villains of the 1980s.Megatron. Skeletor. Cobra Commander. Shredder. Hordak.Who deserves the top spot? Who got robbed? And how did a conversation about cartoon villains become something these grown adults are genuinely passionate about?Because nostalgia is a powerful drug, apparently.Throw in the crew's opening debate about pretzels versus mangoes as acceptable radio snacks, some truly questionable celebrity birthday trivia, and a preview of their Facebook Marketplace version of The Price Is Right, and you've got another wonderfully unhinged morning in St. Louis.Whether you're here for Moon's Greek Fire comeback, Lern's descent into cat-collecting madness, the latest pop culture commentary, or the ongoing spectacle of five adults arguing about things that absolutely do not matter, this funny podcast has something for you.So grab your coffee, put down the pretzels before somebody hears you chewing, and join Rizz and the gang for another round of daily humor, funny stories, rock music, and entertainment chaos.It's another episode of the funny podcast that proves St. Louis mornings are anything but boring.And seriously, if you see Lern wandering through your neighborhood taking pictures of cats, don't panic.She's just leveling up.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.

  Surfing with Sharks, Escaped Convicts & the Great St. Louis Debate 20.10.2026 1h 10min

  Rafe Williams went surfing during great white shark season, a St. Louis jail escape turned into a real-life action movie, and Lern has officially declared war on ziplining. Somehow, those aren't even the weirdest things happening in Missouri.Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, the funny podcast where local news, bizarre stories, horror movies, and questionable vacation decisions collide in one gloriously chaotic morning. Rizz, Moon Valjean, Lern, Rafe Williams, and King Scott are tackling everything from shark-infested waters to St. Louis stereotypes, proving once again that this city has plenty of personality. Some of it probably needs professional supervision.Moon is back from San Diego, Dallas, and Phoenix, and the crew immediately starts debating whether San Diego might be the closest thing America has to paradise. Perfect weather, beautiful beaches, and the possibility of never wanting to return to Missouri? Sounds suspiciously appealing.But Rafe has a warning for anybody planning to learn how to surf there.He once spent Christmas vacation flailing around on a surfboard in San Diego, only to discover halfway through that it was great white shark season. His friend conveniently forgot to mention that detail until Rafe was already in the ocean, dressed in a wetsuit and looking like a confused sea lion.Did he stand up on the board? Absolutely not.Did he see a shark? Thankfully, no.Did he spend most of the experience trying not to drown? You bet.And now Lern is considering surfing during her own upcoming San Diego Christmas trip. What could possibly go wrong?Back home, the gang dives into a serious St. Louis news story involving an escape from the City Justice Center. According to the report discussed on the show, a detainee allegedly climbed into a ceiling crawl space, traveled through the building's ventilation infrastructure, and exited through a door whose alarm failed to activate.The escape triggered a manhunt, and the suspect was eventually apprehended roughly 12 miles away in Affton. The crew discusses the multiple reported security failures, the questions surrounding how he traveled so far, and the public-safety officials who acknowledged the breakdown.Then the story takes an unexpected turn when a listener calls in with his own jail escape experience from decades earlier.Matthew says he once climbed through ductwork after getting arrested following a fight at a county fair. His escape attempt included crawling through the ceiling, retrieving his shoes, running through a police station, and accidentally choosing a restroom door instead of the exit.Spoiler alert: He didn't make it out.But he did eventually marry the girlfriend involved in the original incident, which might be the most chaotic love story we've heard all week.The show also addresses the heartbreaking fatal shooting of 17-year-old Alyssa Wilson on Interstate 170 and the subsequent arrests reported by investigators. It's a sobering conversation about public safety, a young life lost, and the devastating impact on a St. Louis family and community.And just when everybody needs a less disturbing local headline, Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken enters the conversation.Unfortunately, not because somebody invented a delicious new side dish.The crew discusses allegations that a restaurant employee in Maplewood threatened to burn down the business, cut the power, and poured peanut oil across the floor while coworkers were inside. Employees reportedly escaped safely, and the suspect was arrested.It's a genuinely frightening situation, but naturally, King Scott still finds a way to contribute a terrible peanut-oil nickname.Because apparently the microphone comes with absolutely no quality control.Then the gang asks a terrifying question: Which horror movie villain would you least want to fight in real life?Rizz makes the case for Pennywise, the nightmare-inducing shapeshifter from IT, while Moon fears Freddy Krueger because nobody wants to fight a supernatural murderer in a dream where your punches move like you're underwater.The Xenomorph from Alien enters the debate thanks to its acid blood and extremely unpleasant reproductive habits. Lern brings up the possessed mother from Hereditary, while the crew considers Michael Myers, Leatherface, Art the Clown, Pinhead, and Anton Chigurh from No Country for Old Men.The discussion somehow becomes a detailed comparison of immortal killers, demonic possessions, nightmare physics, and whether you could simply avoid the entire problem by refusing to go into space.Honestly, that's a pretty solid survival strategy.Meanwhile, St. Louis may be losing another outdoor attraction.The crew discusses the uncertain future of the Go Ape ropes and zipline course at Creve Coeur Park, along with the closure of another local adventure facility. Are St. Louis residents not adventurous enough? Are these attractions too expensive? Or does nobody know they exist because their advertising consists of a sign nailed to a tree?Lern has a different explanation.She hates ziplining.Not because she's afraid of heights. Not because she doesn't enjoy adventure. But because multiple ziplining experiences have somehow become associated with severe gastrointestinal emergencies.Yes, Lern has managed to turn an outdoor adventure discussion into another story about diarrhea.At this point, it's practically a show tradition.That leads into the Great St. Louis Debate, where Rizz asks artificial intelligence to describe the stereotypes associated with Missouri, St. Louis, and Southern Illinois.Are Missourians excessively polite? Are we Midwestern or Southern? Do we really spend our weekends hunting, talking to strangers, and explaining where we went to high school? And why does every conversation about Missouri eventually involve barbecue, the Ozarks, or somebody getting offended by a stereotype?The crew puts local identity under the microscope, with plenty of sarcastic humor and some surprisingly accurate observations about life in the Midwest.It's St. Louis comedy, strange local headlines, terrifying movie monsters, vacation disasters, and the kind of daily humor that makes this funny podcast a questionable but highly entertaining part of your morning routine.So grab your coffee, lock your doors, stay out of the shark-infested water, and maybe skip the zipline if Lern is giving travel advice.Join The Rizzuto Show for another episode of this funny podcast, where even a simple conversation about San Diego can somehow end with escaped inmates, haunted dreams, and a full-scale debate about what's wrong with St. Louis.And if somebody invites you surfing during great white season, maybe ask a few follow-up questions before putting on the wetsuit.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.

  DAILY SHOW: I'd Let Him Sas My Squatch | The Rizzuto Comedy Podcast 19.10.2026 2h 50min

  Rizz, King Scott, Moon, Lern, and Rafe Williams are bringing you a massive helping of St. Louis morning radio chaos in this funny podcast packed with celebrity gossip, bizarre news stories, dating disasters, rock-and-roll debates, and enough ridiculous conversations to make you seriously reconsider the people you spend your mornings with.First, Rafe returns from an unforgettable trip to Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he performed stand-up comedy with St. Louis favorites the Sklar Brothers and somehow ended up receiving the VIP treatment from the University of Michigan football program.We're talking luxury locker rooms, personal massage chairs, private barbers, bowling alleys, golf simulators, enormous indoor practice facilities, and enough free food to make a grown man consider enrolling in college again.Rafe tours the Wolverines' incredible athletic facilities, receives Michigan Jordans and a jacket, and gets to experience the excitement of game day at the legendary Big House. He even helps hold the Michigan banner before the team runs onto the field.Naturally, he spends much of the weekend wondering whether Bob Seger might suddenly appear.Because apparently the University of Michigan's greatest attraction isn't football. It's the possibility of running into the guy who sang “Night Moves.”And if you're wondering why Rafe is wearing a glorious blonde mullet wig back in the studio, thank the NFL Pick'em Challenge.The wig is punishment for his football predictions, but the truly disturbing part is how good it looks on him. Lern thinks he can pull off any hairstyle, Rizz agrees it looks surprisingly natural, and Rafe has an important meeting with a potential client later that day.Nothing screams business professional quite like a man who looks ready to sell you a used Trans Am.Speaking of questionable appearances, BIGFOOT APPARENTLY HAD REHEARSAL FOOTAGE. The gang discusses the documentary Capturing Bigfoot, which reportedly features a test clip resembling the legendary 1967 Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot footage.Yes, the most famous Sasquatch sighting in history might have had a practice run.Rizz is devastated by the possibility that the iconic footage was staged, but Rafe has a much more compelling theory.Bigfoot is real according to our resident Cryptozoologist King Scott.He's just not living in the woods anymore.According to Rafe, some woman probably found him hiking, shaved him down, cleaned him up, and got him a respectable job selling Acuras in Chesterfield.That's right. The reason nobody can find Bigfoot is that he's probably working in suburban St. Louis with a decent benefits package.Jason Momoa might also be a professionally groomed Yeti.We're not saying that's true. We're saying Rafe has clearly spent too much time thinking about it.From cryptozoology, the conversation moves to something almost as difficult to understand: Nathan Fielder's Elizabeth Holmes documentary.Rafe catches the movie in a packed theater and gives it an enthusiastic A, despite sitting in the front row for nearly three hours.The documentary follows the disgraced Theranos founder in the period leading up to her prison sentence, with Fielder's signature uncomfortable humor, bizarre interviews, and increasingly complicated questions about what's real and what's staged.Rafe describes a particularly strange sequence involving Amanda Seyfried's portrayal of Holmes in The Dropout, where the film starts folding back in on itself like a psychological experiment designed specifically to make everybody uncomfortable.The crew debates the movie's reviews, its unusual R rating, and whether anybody needs a three-hour documentary that requires a bathroom strategy.Rafe says it's worth it.His bladder would like to issue a separate review.Meanwhile, it's National New Friends Day, and the gang has reached a unanimous conclusion:Making friends as an adult is exhausting.When you're a kid, you just ask somebody if they like dinosaurs, and suddenly you're best friends.When you're an adult, you have to coordinate schedules, navigate social expectations, make awkward small talk, and somehow convince another human being that spending time with you is worth leaving their house.Rizz shares a survey suggesting the average American hasn't made a new friend in five years.Rafe announces that his friendship department has no vacancies.Lern explains that her closest friendships work because nobody expects constant communication.And the crew debates whether adult friendships have become more complicated than dating.Lern even shares how nervous she was when she asked a woman named Nikki to hang out after their professional relationship ended.She worried about her appearance, whether they'd click, and whether the invitation would seem weird.Basically, she went through all the emotional preparation of a first date just to get coffee with another woman.Thankfully, the friendship worked out.Which is nice, because nobody needs another rejection story involving a coffee shop.The gang also tackles the lost art of having friends over for dinner.Why does nobody host dinner parties anymore?Is everybody too busy? Too tired? Too broke?Or is the real problem that once people get comfortable on your couch, they refuse to leave?Rafe believes spending time in someone's home creates deeper friendships.Lern believes people should understand when the evening is over.Her solution?Gift bags.Yes, Lern sends guests home with leftover promotional merchandise, batteries, popcorn, and whatever else she's accumulated throughout the year.It's a brilliant system.You get a free present, and she gets her house back.Everybody wins.Then things get even more awkward when the gang discusses a woman who went viral after being stood up on a Bumble date.The guy reportedly said he was on his way, never arrived, and left her stuck with more than $100 in expenses for transportation, drinks, shrimp cocktail, and tips.She wants Bumble to reimburse her.The crew wonders whether dating apps should be responsible for their users' bad behavior and whether singles should be allowed to leave reviews of people they've dated.Imagine checking someone's romantic rating before agreeing to dinner.“Great conversation. Terrible parking. Refused to split dessert. Two stars.”Of course, the whole system would collapse the moment somebody got rejected and decided revenge was best served through a one-star review.So maybe the answer isn't rating people like restaurants.Maybe it's actually going to breakfast.The gang discusses the growing appeal of breakfast first dates, where you can meet someone for coffee, pancakes, or a quick meal without committing to an expensive evening.Rizz loves the idea.Lern appreciates the lower pressure but isn't thrilled about waking up early.And everybody agrees that if the date goes badly, it's much easier to escape after coffee than after a three-course dinner.Which brings us to one of the most important questions of the day:Are pancakes romantic?The crew explores why younger men may be attracted to older women, discussing confidence, independence, direct communication, and the appeal of relationships without endless dating-app games.Rafe suggests that an older woman might simply invite you over and offer to make pancakes.No mixed signals.No complicated emotional chess.Just breakfast.Except a listener quickly points out that an invitation for pancakes can absolutely have another meaning.And just like that, the most innocent breakfast food in America becomes a relationship controversy.The crew also debates age-gap relationships involving celebrities like Madonna, Cher, Kris Jenner, and Bill Belichick, asking why society often reacts differently to older men dating younger women than to older women dating younger men.Along the way, they explore the idea of soulmates.Does everyone have one true love?Can you have multiple soulmates?Can your soulmate be a best friend instead of a romantic partner?Rafe offers a surprisingly thoughtful theory that people discover different pieces of themselves through the connections they make throughout their lives.Lern agrees, but immediately wants to know why Rafe gets to sound philosophical without being accused of eating an edible.It's one of the rare moments when the Rizz Show almost becomes emotionally intelligent.Fortunately, somebody makes it weird again.Back in St. Louis, the crew celebrates Greek Fire's return to Delmar Hall, where Moon and the band deliver a theatrical rock performance featuring new music and an impressive stage production.Rizz and Lern recap the show, but Rizz's evening also includes a restaurant experience that nearly turns into a full-blown customer-service investigation.An upscale restaurant adds an unexplained 20% service fee to his bill.Not a tip.Not an automatic gratuity.A separate charge that leaves Rizz wondering exactly where the money goes.His wife Amelia is less than thrilled, and the gang debates hidden restaurant fees, tipping culture, and why dining out now feels like reviewing the terms and conditions of a mortgage.Rizz also receives a wonderfully ugly little collectible monster called a Fugler from a listener, which Amelia immediately falls in love with.So the night includes great live music, a questionable restaurant bill, and a terrifying stuffed creature.Pretty standard Rizz Show weekend.The crew also discusses the seasonal warning that Missouri deer are in heat, meaning rutting season is underway and drivers need to be especially alert.Lern describes deer racing through her yard, Rizz recalls seeing deer during a trip to Springfield, and Rafe contributes some extremely questionable wildlife commentary.The conversation is a reminder that deer are unpredictable this time of year.Especially when romance is involved.And speaking of Springfield, Rizz's family trip turns into a debate about Chinese food, Springfield-style cashew chicken, and whether some of Missouri's best restaurant discoveries are hiding in places people don't immediately think to visit.The gang also discusses America's most boring highways, including those endless stretches of road where the scenery consists of cornfields, truck stops, and the growing suspicion that you've already passed the same exit three times.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, where Lern delivers another collection of entertainment news, music debates, Hollywood controversies, and stories that make celebrity publicists wish they'd chosen accounting.Billy Corgan praises Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker as one of the most influential drummers of the last three decades, leading the crew into a debate about Barker's impact, Dave Grohl, Danny Carey, and what makes a drummer truly influential.The gang also discusses reported developments involving Sean “Diddy” Combs, Lil Jon's childhood eye injury and signature sunglasses, Carrot Top's recovery, and upcoming entertainment projects.Rizz shares a painful family story involving Amelia suffering a corneal injury during an innocent game with their daughter, proving that even the smallest fingernail can become a surprisingly serious problem.There are movie and television discussions involving True Detective, The Pitt, Nicolas Cage, Antonio Banderas, Jesse Eisenberg, Quentin Tarantino, and the endlessly entertaining career of Jon Favreau.The crew also revisits one of rock music's greatest debates:What is the greatest guitar solo of all time?Prince's “Purple Rain” gets plenty of love, but Rizz makes a passionate case for David Gilmour's work on Pink Floyd's “Comfortably Numb.”The gang remembers Prince's unforgettable Rock & Roll Hall of Fame performance of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” and agrees that his guitar playing deserves every bit of recognition it receives.For a few glorious minutes, everybody agrees on something.Mark the calendar.Then it's back to football, where The Rizz Show's NFL Pick'em Challenge continues to produce terrible predictions and excellent punishments.Moon faces the possibility of conference-room karaoke, which is particularly funny considering he's a professional singer.Rafe can't understand why singing in front of coworkers would be such a horrifying punishment for somebody who literally performs music for a living.The Rizz Show also continues its unfortunate losing streak against Fast Lane, proving once again that predicting football games is apparently much harder than making fun of people who predict football games.And finally, there's the most impressive athletic performance discussed all day.JOEY CHESTNUT EATS AN EIGHT-POUND PIZZA IN 12 MINUTES AND 6 SECONDS.The competitive-eating legend visits St. Louis to take on the Junkyard Dog Challenge at Salvage Yard Bar and Grill, where contestants have 45 minutes to finish an enormous eight-pound deep-dish pizza.Joey destroys it in barely over 12 minutes.That's eight pounds of pizza.In twelve minutes.Some people spend longer than that deciding whether they want mushrooms.Rizz marvels at Chestnut's competitive-eating abilities, while the crew tries to understand the sheer physical commitment required to consume that much food and somehow continue functioning as a human being.Between Rafe's blonde mullet, Michigan football luxury, Bigfoot's alleged rehearsal footage, Nathan Fielder's bizarre documentary, adult friendship anxiety, terrible dating experiences, soulmate debates, celebrity news, Missouri deer, Greek Fire, restaurant service fees, and Joey Chestnut's stomach-defying pizza challenge, this funny podcast delivers exactly the kind of unpredictable entertainment that makes The Rizzuto Show a St. Louis morning-radio staple.It's funny stories, weird news, pop culture commentary, relationship disasters, music debates, and daily comedy from a crew that somehow manages to turn ordinary conversations into completely unnecessary investigations.Join Rizz, Lern, Rafe Williams, and the gang for another chaotic installment of this funny podcast, where Bigfoot might be selling cars in Chesterfield, your next first date might involve pancakes, and Joey Chestnut has officially eaten more pizza in 12 minutes than most people should eat in a weekend.And remember:If you see Bigfoot in the suburbs, ask about financing.If you invite friends over, have the gift bags ready.If somebody offers you pancakes, clarify their intentions.And if

  Making Friends as an Adult Sucks, Dating Apps Are a Disaster & Pancakes Might Be Foreplay 19.10.2026 32min

  It's National New Friends Day, and the gang has one very important question:Who the hell has the energy to make new friends anymore?When you're a kid, friendship is easy. You ask somebody if they like dinosaurs, they say yes, and congratulations, you've got a best friend until somebody steals somebody else's Pokémon cards.As an adult? Forget it.Now you've got jobs, kids, bills, errands, relationships, and the overwhelming desire to spend Friday night in sweatpants watching television without speaking to another human being.Rizz shares a survey suggesting the average American hasn't made a single new friend in five years, and the crew immediately understands why.Rafe announces that his friendship department has no vacancies. Lern explains that her current friends understand they don't need to talk every single day. And Rizz points out that most adult friendships seem to happen through work, kids' activities, or some shared obligation nobody can escape.Lern even compares friendship circles to planets orbiting the sun, with everyone moving at their own pace and occasionally drifting into one another's lives.Rafe, naturally, describes himself as a rogue planet whose moon has been destroyed and who is now floating helplessly through the universe.Which is a surprisingly poetic way of saying he doesn't want to make plans this weekend.But Lern actually has a success story.She describes making a new friend named Nikki after they initially met through a business relationship. Lern waited until the professional arrangement had ended before reaching out, because she didn't want the invitation to coffee to feel like some elaborate financial networking scheme.And when she finally asked Nikki to hang out?She worried about what to wear, how she smelled, whether they'd get along, and whether the whole thing would be awkward.Her husband couldn't understand why she was acting like she was preparing to meet a potential romantic partner.Turns out Nikki was just as nervous.And now they're great friends.So apparently making a new friend as an adult really is dating, except nobody kisses at the end and both people are secretly hoping they can go home by 8:30.The gang also explores why people don't invite friends over for dinner anymore.According to a statistic discussed on the show, the percentage of Americans hosting friends or family at least once a month has dropped dramatically since the 1970s.Rizz wonders what happened to the classic dinner party.Lern remembers friends who renovated a downtown St. Louis firehouse and regularly hosted cocktail parties before moving away.Rafe says he's been slowly getting his house ready to entertain, although after nearly a year of ownership, he's still not quite prepared to let the public inside.And the entire conversation turns into a debate about why nobody wants people hanging around their house anymore.Or is the real problem that once somebody comes over, there's no socially acceptable way to make them leave?Lern thinks that's the biggest issue.At a restaurant, the evening has a natural ending. You eat, you pay, and everybody goes home.At somebody's house, there's always that one person who decides midnight is the perfect time to start another conversation.Or worse, suggest Monopoly.Rafe argues that spending time at someone's house is how friendships become deeper and more meaningful.Lern argues that she has a bedtime.And if you're still sitting on her couch when she's ready to shut things down, congratulations: you're about to receive a complimentary gift bag and a very clear invitation to leave.That's right. Lern hands out leftover promotional merchandise to departing guests.A few batteries, some popcorn, maybe a random bucket of hardware supplies.It's like an Oscar swag bag, except the prize is being politely evicted.From there, the show moves into Sexy Time Fun Facts, and the dating world somehow manages to make adult friendship look relaxing.First up: a woman named Paige goes viral after being stood up on a date she arranged through Bumble.She arrives at the restaurant, orders a drink and shrimp cocktail, and waits for a guy who says he's almost there.Except he never shows up.Eventually, she realizes she's apparently been blocked, leaving her with a bill of more than $100 when transportation, food, drinks, and tips are included.Her proposed solution?Bumble should reimburse her.The crew debates whether dating apps should be responsible for the bad behavior of their users.Rizz isn't particularly impressed by the woman's decision to film the experience, while Lern and Rafe explore whether dating platforms should introduce a rating system for potential partners.Imagine leaving a review after every first date.“Showed up on time. Good conversationalist. Chewed with mouth open. Three stars.”Sounds useful until you remember that people are petty.Suddenly, every rejected second date becomes a one-star review, every breakup becomes a customer-service dispute, and somebody's romantic future gets destroyed because they didn't respond to a text quickly enough.Rafe tries to design a fair system where both people rate each other immediately after meeting.Rizz points out that people could still lie.And Lern realizes there's probably a very good reason dating apps haven't turned human beings into Yelp listings.But maybe the solution isn't another dating-app feature.Maybe it's breakfast.The gang discusses the growing appeal of breakfast first dates, where two people meet for coffee, pancakes, or a quick meal instead of committing to an expensive evening out.It's cheaper, more casual, and provides a convenient escape if the chemistry isn't there.Rizz loves the idea.Rafe sees the practical benefits.Lern likes it too, except for one tiny problem:You have to wake up early.Nothing says romance like setting an alarm for 7:30 on a Saturday because a stranger wants to discuss their childhood over scrambled eggs.Still, breakfast dates have one major advantage.If things go well, you've got the whole day ahead of you.And if things go badly, you can simply finish your coffee and pretend you have an extremely important appointment with your couch.Then the conversation gets unexpectedly philosophical.Does everyone have one true soulmate?Rizz shares survey findings suggesting some people in relationships don't believe their current partner is necessarily their one true love.Which is probably a fantastic statistic to casually mention during your anniversary dinner.The crew debates whether soulmates are real, whether people can have more than one, and whether choosing a long-term partner is more about compatibility and timing than some magical cosmic connection.Rafe suggests that people sometimes choose relationships based on practical circumstances: similar goals, financial stability, wanting children, and being ready for the same stage of life.Lern argues that believing too strongly in a single perfect person can lead to unrealistic expectations.And Rizz wonders what happens if you spend your whole life looking for “the one” and keep getting it wrong.Then Lern shares a complicated situation involving someone close to her who's still emotionally attached to a former love.The relationship ended years ago, but the feelings never completely disappeared.Now that person has reentered her life and confessed romantic feelings, despite being involved with someone else.Naturally, the gang has opinions.Some are thoughtful.Some are compassionate.And some are the kind of advice that would get an actual relationship counselor's license revoked.Rafe takes the discussion in a surprisingly profound direction, suggesting that maybe people discover pieces of themselves in others throughout their lives.And perhaps a soulmate is simply someone who helps you recognize a particularly important part of yourself.It's a genuinely touching thought.For a brief moment, the show becomes a thoughtful exploration of human connection.Don't worry. It doesn't last.The gang eventually debates whether soulmates can be platonic, whether the word itself implies romance, and why one person's perfect spiritual match might be a longtime friend rather than a spouse.And just when you think the relationship conversation can't get any more complicated, Rizz introduces another topic:Why are more younger men attracted to older women?The crew explores changing attitudes toward age-gap relationships and the appeal of dating someone who's already confident, independent, and knows exactly what they want.Rafe theorizes that younger men might be looking for relationships with fewer games and less dating-app nonsense.Lern remembers the Netflix dating series Age of Attraction and wonders whether authenticity and emotional connection play a bigger role than people realize.Rizz shares the idea that older women may be more comfortable communicating their expectations, more established in their lives, and less interested in rushing toward traditional relationship milestones.And then Rafe delivers the most compelling argument of the entire discussion.An older woman might simply invite you over and offer to make pancakes.Because the moment the crew decides pancakes are a completely innocent invitation, a listener named Kate checks in to explain that, as an older woman, an invitation to pancakes could absolutely mean something more.And just like that, breakfast is no longer safe.The gang also tackles the double standard surrounding age-gap relationships.Why do people react differently to an older man dating a younger woman than they do to an older woman dating a younger man?Lern brings up celebrities like Madonna and Bill Belichick, while Rafe points to Cher, Kris Jenner, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson as examples of relationships with significant age differences.The crew discusses attraction, financial independence, pop-culture gaps, generational differences, and whether two adults should simply be allowed to enjoy their relationship without everybody else providing a running commentary.Of course, this is The Rizzuto Show.So the conversation eventually devolves into jokes about retirement accounts, folding laundry, video games, and whether offering somebody breakfast has officially become a romantic code word.From the exhausting world of adult friendships and the lost art of dinner parties to dating-app disasters, breakfast dates, soulmate theories, and the surprisingly complicated romantic meaning of pancakes, this funny podcast is packed with relatable stories, sarcastic humor, relationship advice, and the kind of St. Louis morning-show chaos that makes you feel slightly better about your own social life.Join Rizz, Lern, and Rafe Williams for another episode of this funny podcast where making a new friend feels like a job interview, getting stood up might require a reimbursement claim, and apparently nobody can agree on what pancakes mean anymore.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.

  Bigfoot's Secret Rehearsal, Nathan Fielder's Documentary & Celebrity Chaos 19.10.2026 33min

  Rizz, King Scott, Lern, and Rafe Williams are back with another spectacularly ridiculous episode of The Rizzuto Show, the funny podcast where celebrity gossip, questionable documentaries, rock-and-roll debates, and St. Louis morning radio chaos collide. And today's biggest revelation might be that Bigfoot didn't just walk through the woods in 1967. Apparently, the guy had a dress rehearsal.BIGFOOT HAD REHEARSAL FOOTAGE?!The gang discusses the documentary Capturing Bigfoot, which reportedly reveals a 40-second test clip filmed in 1966, a year before the legendary Patterson-Gimlin footage from Bluff Creek, California.You know the famous video: a giant, hairy creature strolling through the woods before turning to look directly at the camera like somebody just yelled his government name.According to the documentary's premise, the newly uncovered footage shows a slimmer ape-like figure performing a remarkably similar walk and over-the-shoulder glance.King Scott declares he's the foremost knowledgeable expert in Cryptozoology.Was Bigfoot real, or was somebody directing the world's hairiest independent film?Rizz is devastated by the possibility that the footage was staged, although he's not ready to abandon his belief in Sasquatch entirely.Rafe, meanwhile, has a much more convincing theory.Bigfoot isn't missing. He's living in Chesterfield.Lern offers a few observations about Sasquatch's romantic prospects that probably won't appear in any scientific journal.From Bigfoot conspiracies, the conversation turns to another creature that's nearly impossible to understand:Nathan Fielder.Rafe went to see Fielder's new documentary about disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, and he's ready to explain why the film is one of the strangest theatrical experiences he's had in a long time.The movie reportedly exceeded box-office expectations, drawing packed theaters and glowing reviews. Rafe had to sit in the front row, which is a terrible place to sit for almost three hours unless you're either deeply committed to cinema or being punished for something.He gives the film an A, praising Fielder's trademark dry humor, uncomfortable interviews, and reality-bending storytelling.The documentary follows Holmes and her boyfriend during the weeks leading up to her prison sentence, with Fielder becoming increasingly involved in their lives as the story unfolds.And because this is Nathan Fielder, the whole thing apparently becomes an elaborate exercise in questioning what is real, what's staged, and who's manipulating whom.Rafe describes a particularly bizarre sequence involving Amanda Seyfried's portrayal of Holmes in The Dropout, where the documentary starts folding back in on itself like a psychological origami project.The crew also debates the film's unusual R rating, a mysterious nude scene, and whether the nearly three-hour runtime is justified.Rafe insists the movie is worth every minute.His bladder strongly disagrees.He sat through the entire thing without taking a bathroom break, fueled by popcorn, cookie dough bites, Twizzlers, and a Coke.By the time the credits rolled, he had witnessed cinematic brilliance and achieved a level of urinary discomfort normally reserved for cross-country road trips.And then there's the one critic who apparently didn't love the movie.With nearly universal praise surrounding the documentary, the gang becomes fascinated by a single negative review. Rafe argues that the criticism sounds like somebody trying to appear intellectual without actually saying anything.Rizz compares it to walking into an ice cream shop, seeing too many flavors, and leaving a two-star review.Honestly, that might be the most accurate description of modern internet criticism we've ever heard.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, where Lern unleashes another avalanche of music news, Hollywood drama, bizarre revelations, and stories that probably make publicists reconsider their career choices.First up, Billy Corgan praises Travis Barker, calling the Blink-182 drummer one of the most influential drummers of the last three decades.The gang debates whether Barker deserves the title, comparing his fame, distinctive playing style, and lasting influence with other legendary drummers, including Dave Grohl and Tool's Danny Carey.Rizz argues that Barker's recognizable sound and cultural impact make him a strong contender, while Lern reflects on his extraordinary career and the documentary exploring his survival of a devastating plane crash.The discussion also touches on Barker's early days with the Aquabats, because even rock legends have to start somewhere.Next, the crew discusses reports that Sean “Diddy” Combs was transferred to a lower-security federal prison following reports involving contraband.Rafe questions the logic of moving someone to a less restrictive facility after alleged rule violations, while Rizz recalls Mike Tyson discussing his own prison experience in a documentary.It's a conversation about celebrity treatment, prison privileges, and why the justice system can sometimes seem to operate under a completely different set of rules for famous people.Then comes a story that will make absolutely everyone instinctively protect their eyeballs.Lil Jon reveals the childhood injury behind his signature sunglasses.According to his memoir, the rapper accidentally injured his eye with a syringe when he was six years old, leading to surgeries, an eye patch, and bullying during childhood.That leads Rizz to share a painful family memory involving his wife Amelia and their daughter during a flight home from New York.A playful game of patty-cake ended with a tiny finger scratching Amelia's cornea, causing severe pain and eventually requiring laser treatment.The crew discusses just how agonizing corneal abrasions can be and why something as innocent as a baby's fingernail can turn into a medical nightmare.Congratulations, parents. You now have one more completely unexpected thing to worry about.The celebrity news continues with Carrot Top thanking fans for their support following a hospitalization and preparing to return to his Las Vegas residency.Lern also shares reports about Nicolas Cage and Antonio Banderas joining a future season of True Detective, which launches a discussion about the show's different seasons.Rizz and Rafe agree that the first season with Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson is outstanding, while the crew compares the later installments featuring Colin Farrell, Vince Vaughn, Mahershala Ali, and Jodie Foster.Lern also announces that she's finally started watching The Pitt, and she's already hooked.After avoiding medical dramas for years, she watched three episodes in a row and came away with a newfound appreciation for emergency-room professionals.The gang also discusses difficult celebrity news, including a reported family tragedy involving Cindy Crawford, a court ruling in Timothy Busfield's case, and an airline incident involving Selma Blair. These stories are handled as reports discussed on the show, rather than excuses to turn serious personal or legal matters into punchlines.Then it's back to Hollywood, where the crew reviews box-office results, debates the appeal of a movie about being swallowed by a whale, and discusses Quentin Tarantino's awkward revelation that he was never invited onto Ellen DeGeneres's talk show.The gang remembers the famously uncomfortable Dakota Johnson birthday-party exchange and wonders how Tarantino somehow managed to miss out on the daytime television experience.Meanwhile, Jesse Eisenberg says his poorly received portrayal of Lex Luthor in Batman v Superman affected his blockbuster career.The crew also talks about upcoming movie trailers, including Artificial with Andrew Garfield and a new adaptation of A Christmas Carol starring Johnny Depp.Then it's time for celebrity birthdays, featuring filmmaker Jason Reitman, former Fugees member Pras, Rizz Show friend Chris Kattan, South Park co-creator Trey Parker, Jon Favreau, Ty Pennington, Evander Holyfield, and the legendary John Lithgow.That leads to an extended appreciation of Jon Favreau, whose career somehow stretches from Swingers and Made to Elf, Iron Man, Chef, The Mandalorian, and major Disney productions.Rizz continues his campaign to convince everyone that Chef is an outstanding movie, while Rafe admits that The Mandalorian and Grogu didn't exactly inspire him to finish watching it on his flight.Apparently, even Baby Yoda can't guarantee your undivided attention anymore.And finally, it's time for the Rizz Show vs. Fast Lane NFL Pick'em Challenge.At this point, the gang isn't competing for football supremacy. They're competing to see who can humiliate themselves the least.From Bigfoot rehearsal footage and suburban Sasquatch theories to Nathan Fielder's bizarre Elizabeth Holmes documentary, Travis Barker's influence, Prince's legendary guitar playing, Hollywood controversies, and Moon's impending karaoke nightmare, this funny podcast is packed with weird news, celebrity gossip, music debates, and the sarcastic humor that makes The Rizzuto Show a St. Louis morning-radio favorite.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.

  Rafe's Mullet Wig, Deer in Heat & Joey Chestnut's 8-Pound Pizza 19.10.2026 1h 15min

  It's October 19th, and The Rizzuto Show is back with another spectacularly unhinged funny podcast featuring Rizz, King Scott, Moon, Lern, Rafe Williams, and the usual collection of stories that make St. Louis morning radio feel like a group therapy session nobody agreed to attend.Moon is out for the day, but Rafe is back from his big Michigan adventure, and he's brought home two things: unforgettable memories and an absolutely magnificent blonde mullet wig.The hair is punishment for last week's NFL picks, but somehow Rafe looks disturbingly comfortable wearing it. Lern thinks he can pull off any hairstyle. Rizz thinks it looks surprisingly natural. And Rafe has an important meeting with a potential client later in the day.Nothing says professional confidence quite like walking into a business meeting looking like you sell fireworks out of a Camaro.But the wig is only the beginning.Rafe spent the weekend in Ann Arbor performing with St. Louis comedy favorites the Sklar Brothers, and the trip turned into the kind of college football experience that makes regular people question why they bothered going to school for an actual education.The shows at Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase were a hit, but the real adventure happened when Rafe got an inside look at the University of Michigan football program.We're talking luxury facilities, massive indoor practice fields, personal massage chairs in the players' lockers, cold-plunge recovery areas, private barbers, golf simulators, bowling alleys, and enough high-end food to make a five-star resort look like a gas station.Rafe even walked away with Michigan Jordans and a jacket.Apparently, the secret to getting free expensive clothing is knowing the right comedians and wandering around a college football facility looking sufficiently impressed.Then came the Michigan–Penn State homecoming game at the Big House.Rafe got to go onto the field, help hold the famous Michigan banner, and run through the tunnel just before the football team. For a guy attending his first major college football game, that's a pretty ridiculous introduction.He also caught a football during warmups, considered auditioning as a 48-year-old freshman long snapper, and spent a suspicious amount of time hoping Bob Seger might appear somewhere in Ann Arbor.And let's not forget the buffets.There were multiple buffets.There was brisket, pulled pork, mac and cheese, desserts, and enough food to make Rafe seriously consider performing his stand-up shows from a seated position.The crew also dives into the wild world of college football money, NIL deals, transfer portals, luxury cars, and what happens when an 18-year-old athlete suddenly has access to more cash than most people will see in several lifetimes.From there, it's time to check in on everybody else's weekend.King Scott shares a family road trip to Springfield, Missouri, which somehow becomes a passionate discussion about Chinese food, Springfield-style cashew chicken, and whether the city's restaurants have quietly been embarrassing the St. Louis Chinese food scene for decades.The gang also debates America's most boring highways, including the seemingly endless stretches between Kansas City and Colorado, drives through Nebraska, and those soul-crushing road trips where the scenery consists entirely of cornfields, truck stops, and the same McDonald's every 40 miles.Lern shares her Monroe County date night, including dinner at Thai House in Columbia, Illinois, drinks at Old Monroe Distilling Company, and the temptation to wander into somebody else's wedding.Because apparently enjoying your own evening isn't enough when there's a perfectly good reception happening nearby.The crew also recaps Greek Fire's big return to Delmar Hall, where Moon and the band delivered a theatrical rock show featuring new music, impressive production, and a stage setup that had the crowd talking.Rizz and Lern loved the performance, but Rizz's evening almost got derailed before he even arrived.First, a listener named Melissa gave him a Fugler, one of those aggressively ugly little collectible monsters that somehow becomes adorable if you stare at it long enough.His wife Amelia immediately fell in love with the thing and spent the night making videos with it.Which turned out to be excellent timing, because Amelia had just survived a restaurant experience that nearly sent her into full customer-service combat mode.At an unnamed upscale restaurant, Rizz discovered a 20% service fee added to the bill.Rizz wanted to know where the money was going, whether it benefited the employees, and why the restaurant couldn't simply build its costs into the menu prices.Amelia wanted answers.The waiter wanted everyone to please avoid writing a review.And the entire experience became a heated discussion about hidden restaurant fees, tipping, transparency, and why customers shouldn't need a law degree to understand a dinner check.The gang debates whether service charges are becoming the newest restaurant scam, how they affect servers, and why Rizz refuses to name the establishment.Meanwhile, Amelia demonstrates her apparently supernatural ability to get businesses to address legitimate complaints.Rafe immediately wants her to call his student loan provider.Honestly, worth a shot.Then things get a little darker as the crew discusses a tragic incident involving a priest in Ecuador who was reportedly killed when a large crucifix fell during a livestreamed church service.The gang reacts to the shocking story and debates the strange expression died doing what he loved, with Lern and Rizz having very different interpretations of what that actually means.Back in St. Louis, there's another important seasonal warning:The deer are in heat.It's rutting season, which means deer are moving around more aggressively, crossing roads unexpectedly, and apparently making some very questionable romantic decisions.Joey Chestnut came to St. Louis and absolutely demolished an eight-pound deep-dish pizza.The competitive-eating legend visited Salvage Yard Bar and Grill to take on its Junkyard Dog Challenge: finish an enormous eight-pound pizza in 45 minutes.Joey finished it in 12 minutes and 6 seconds.TWELVE MINUTES.EIGHT POUNDS.Some people can't even decide what toppings they want in that amount of time.Rizz is appropriately impressed by the man he considers the greatest competitive eater of all time, and the gang marvels at the sheer physical insanity required to consume that much pizza without immediately requesting an ambulance.From Rafe's mullet punishment and his VIP Michigan football adventure to Springfield cashew chicken, Greek Fire's Delmar Hall comeback, mystery restaurant fees, horny Missouri deer, and Joey Chestnut's stomach-defying pizza performance, The Rizzuto Show #225 is packed with funny stories, weird news, local St. Louis entertainment, and the sarcastic humor that keeps this whole circus moving.This funny podcast is proof that you can start a Monday discussing college football luxury and somehow end up debating restaurant bills, deer romance, and the digestive capabilities of a competitive-eating superhero.Join Rizz, Lern, and Rafe for another installment of this funny podcast where the hair is fake, the pizza is very real, and apparently nobody in the studio knows how to have a normal weekend.And remember:If you lose your football picks, you might have to wear a mullet.If your restaurant bill includes an unexplained 20% fee, ask questions.And if Joey Chestnut challenges you to a pizza-eating contest, just pay for his dinner and go home.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The

  DAILY SHOW: I Just Want Some Dracula Stationary, Man | The Rizzuto Comedy Podcast 16.10.2026 2h 59min

  Clownvis has discovered water, Lern is collecting cats like Pokémon, and somebody in Australia allegedly put snail poison in the office lunch. Happy Halloween, everybody.Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, the funny podcast where a grown man discovers hydration, the neighborhood cats have apparently elected Lern their landlord, and the crew spends an alarming amount of time debating whether diarrhea can be considered brutal.It's Friday in St. Louis, sweater weather has officially arrived, and Clownvis is back in the studio!After touring across America, Canada, and the Bahamas, the world's favorite Elvis-inspired clown returns wearing a leather jacket and bringing the kind of life-changing health advice nobody asked for. He's started drinking water. That's it. That's the breakthrough.Clownvis explains that filling a giant cup with ice water has transformed his mornings, improved his skin, and made him feel younger than ever. Rizz, Moon, and Lern are understandably stunned that ordinary H2O has apparently become the hottest new wellness trend.The conversation also takes a bizarre celebrity detour when Clownvis explains how a Cameo request from Maynard James Keenan of Tool and Puscifer led him to believe he was recording a birthday greeting for Matthew and Gunnar Nelson. Except the birthday boys weren't those Nelson twins. They were Matt and Gunner from Puscifer. Same first names. Completely different people. And Clownvis was already mentally preparing for a very strange musical crossover.Then it's Global Cat Day, which means Lern gets to celebrate her favorite holiday by announcing that she's acquired yet another furry freeloader. Well, technically, she hasn't adopted him. She's just named him Trouble, started feeding him, and accepted that he now hangs around her house with Mr. Gray, Clover, and Willow. So, yes, she's acquired another cat. Rizz suggests an intervention. Moon imagines an underground feline fighting championship. Lern insists she can't turn away a hungry animal. At this point, her Ellisville home is less of a residence and more of a cat-operated all-inclusive resort.And if the cats weren't enough, Rizz introduces the gang to beaver fever, a gastrointestinal parasite that can infect cats and potentially spread to humans. Naturally, a simple discussion about pet health becomes an extended debate over the difference between regular diarrhea, explosive diarrhea, and the apparently prestigious category of brutal diarrhea. The crew even invents what might be the world's worst death-metal double bill: Beaver Fever opening for Brutal Diarrhea. Somebody book the venue. Preferably one with excellent bathrooms.Next up: Would you hand your car keys to a complete stranger? Lern thinks she can trust her instincts. Rizz thinks she's one friendly parking assistant away from filing an insurance claim. A story about a Florida woman whose vehicle was allegedly stolen after she allowed two strangers to charge their phones inside it sends the crew into a debate about kindness, common sense, and whether anyone can actually spot a convincing liar.And then Halloween takes over. The gang debates the worst things to hand out to trick-or-treaters, and the results are a public service announcement for every neighborhood dentist. Toothbrushes? Absolutely not. Dental floss? Congratulations, you've ruined Halloween. Mini pretzels, raisins, bookmarks, pencils, sugar-free candy, and religious pamphlets? Please just turn off your porch light.Lern somehow makes a passionate case for a really cool Dracula bookmark. Clownvis defends raisins as valuable candy-trading currency. And everybody becomes increasingly concerned about what Halloween has done to the price of a 100 Grand bar. Nearly four dollars for a candy bar? Forget the haunted houses. That's the real nightmare.The crew also gets into the strange world of Halloween pumpkin colors, neighborhood decorations, giant skeletons, and whether spooky season has become too scary for kids.Lern is thrilled with the oversized skeletons decorating her yard. Rizz is preparing for a Halloween party at Ballpark Village. And Clownvis is heading to the Bahamas for a metal cruise featuring Lamb of God and other heavy-hitting acts. Because when you think Halloween, naturally you think tropical vacation with a boat full of metalheads.From there, things get even spookier as Rizz reveals a ranking of America's most haunted cities. St. Louis lands at number 38, prompting the gang to discuss local legends like the Lemp Mansion, Zombie Road, and McPike Mansion in Alton. Clownvis talks about visiting the Stanley Hotel, Lern dreams of more ghost tours, and everybody wonders why St. Louis isn't ranked higher on the paranormal leaderboard. Apparently our ghosts need better marketing.The Halloween hypotheticals continue with an important question: Would you let a hungry vampire drink your blood if you knew you'd survive? Lern has one condition. The vampire needs to be hot. Of course.Finally, the crew dives into a truly unsettling weird-news story from Western Australia, where a woman was accused of putting toxic snail pellets into a coworker's homemade curry. The discussion turns into a debate about office lunch thieves, revenge pranks, and why seeing suspicious bright-green granules in your food should probably discourage you from taking a taste. It's the kind of workplace drama that makes somebody stealing your cheese stick seem downright wholesome.From Clownvis's hydration revelation and Lern's expanding cat collection to Halloween candy disasters, haunted St. Louis history, vampire dating standards, and a poisonous office lunch, The Rizzuto Show #41 delivers another spectacularly unhinged serving of daily comedy.Just remember three things: Drink your water. Don't hand strangers your car keys. And if somebody puts neon-green sprinkles in your curry, maybe skip lunch.Paul McCartney remembers being born, England has officially run short on hunks, and Teslas are apparently doing kickflips. Welcome to a Friday where reality has completely stopped supervising itself.The crew talks a little music, a little charity, and the realization that Moon has been planning his upcoming Greek Fire concert like he's directing a Broadway production. The band is preparing to return to Delmar Hall with new music, a three-act theatrical show, and local opener Native Monster. Moon explains that the whole experience is designed to tell a story through the band's music, complete with different eras, carefully planned transitions, and what Lern insists on calling costume changes. Rizz is ready to enjoy the show. Lern is coming too. Clownvis will be hanging out. The only real question is whether Rizz can make it through Act Three without accidentally becoming part of the performance.The crew also shouts out the local businesses supporting Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital through the show's October fundraiser, including the sponsors brave enough to put their names on everyone's hats. It's charitable giving with the added bonus of turning morning radio hosts into walking billboards. Then Clownvis casually announces that he's seen videos of Teslas doing kickflips. Not driving over ramps. Not performing impressive parking maneuvers. Actual upside-down, rocket-thruster-assisted kickflips. Moon points out that the videos are AI, but Lern isn't quite ready to surrender the dream of a car that can skateboard better than most humans.From there, we enter the deeply confusing world of Paul McCartney's earliest memory.During an appearance on Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast, the Beatles legend claimed to remember being born, including details about the delivery room and the difficult birth itself. Naturally, Rizz wants to know whether that's even possible.Moon brings up the science of infantile amnesia and how memories can be reconstructed over time. Lern argues that human brains are complicated and maybe extraordinary people have extraordinary abilities. And Rizz shares his own earliest memory: getting bitten by a llama at the zoo. That's right. Paul McCartney remembers entering the world. Rizz remembers being attacked by a farm animal. Both men went on to accomplish great things, depending on how generously you define great. The conversation gets into false memories, people who claim to remember life in the womb, and whether childhood recollections are anything more than stories our brains keep rewriting.Then it's time to talk about Grand Theft Auto 6, a game so anticipated that people are reportedly buying collectible boxes containing digital download codes instead of physical game discs. The crew discusses the game's rumored focus on modern financial struggles, including student loans, credit card debt, grocery prices, and the impossible dream of buying a house. Finally, a video game where you can escape the crushing stress of everyday life by experiencing the crushing stress of everyday life.And if you thought that was depressing, wait until you hear about England's national hunk shortage. According to a story discussed on the show, the Mr. England pageant has been postponed because organizers couldn't find enough suitable contestants. They started with seven guys, managed to scrape together more candidates, lost a couple, and ultimately decided the nation needed additional time to locate some quality hunks. A whole country. Millions of people. Not enough hunks. Lern is concerned. Moon wants to investigate. Rizz can't believe this is a real conversation.Somehow, the discussion leads to Hugh Grant's infamous scandal and a guessing game about the name Divine Brown, with the crew confidently offering alternatives that sound more like discontinued barbecue sauces.And that's all before Crap on Celebrities.Lern dives into the decades-long feud between Oasis and Phil Collins, including Noel Gallagher's legendary dislike of the former Genesis frontman and the possibility of an awkward Rock & Roll Hall of Fame encounter.The gang also discusses Sammy Hagar's ongoing attempts to move past old Van Halen drama, Alex Van Halen's insults, and whether aging rock stars could maybe settle their differences before everybody needs a nap.Meanwhile, Henry Winkler insists he doesn't exaggerate the size of the fish he catches, though he admits he's less reliable when discussing certain other measurements.Carrot Top's reported return to his Las Vegas residency sparks a conversation about entertainers getting back onstage after serious health scares, while the crew also discusses a celebrity's difficult medical journey and remembers their late friend Jeff.The movie chatter includes new releases, questionable box-office performances, Neil Young defending Digger, Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz returning to The Mummy universe, and John Goodman reflecting on films he wishes had turned out differently.Then comes the musical argument nobody can resist: the greatest bands of all time. The crew examines a Consequence of Sound ranking that puts The Beatles at number one, Black Sabbath at number two, and The Velvet Underground at number three. Radiohead above The Rolling Stones? Led Zeppelin barely cracking the top ten? Rizz has questions. Moon has opinions. Lern has the list. Nobody is leaving this conversation satisfied.The show wraps up with celebrity birthdays, the uncomfortable realization that everyone's musical heroes are getting older, and a preview of the Fake News or Florida contest, where contestants must decide whether an outrageous headline came from the Sunshine State or the crew's increasingly questionable imagination.It's Rizz's birthday, Clownvis is back in town, and apparently the most terrifying thing a human being can receive is a text message containing three letters: HEY.Rizz, Moon Valjean, Lern, and special guest Clownvis are back together, and somehow a perfectly normal Friday turns into a discussion about text-message etiquette, exotic animals as currency, frozen food as a weapon, and why nobody should ever trust a clown and a rock singer to make important decisions.First, happy birthday, Rizz! The gang kicks things off with football picks, a little Fast Lane rivalry, and a visit from Clownvis, who's been traveling all over the place and has absolutely no intention of slowing down.Clownvis previews his upcoming tour dates, including shows with Mac Sabbath, stops through Texas and the South, Florida performances, and a Halloween weekend cruise with Lamb of God. Because when you're an Elvis-inspired clown, apparently the natural next step is spending Halloween on a boat full of metal fans. Then the crew checks the calendar and discovers that it's National Boss's Day, National Dictionary Day, National Liquor Day, and Global Cat Day. Naturally, Lern suggests giving the boss one of her spare cats. Possibly one with a parasite.Happy Boss's Day, Tommy. Hope you've updated your vaccinations. But the real workplace emergency comes when Rizz introduces everyone to the horrifying phenomenon known as “hey hanging.” You know exactly what we're talking about. Your phone buzzes. It's your boss. The message says: “Hey.” That's it. No question. No explanation. No follow-up. Just three innocent letters that immediately convince you you're getting fired, accidentally insulted someone on the air, or somehow destroyed the entire company.Rizz wants this practice outlawed immediately. Moon understands the panic. Lern, however, admits she's guilty of doing it herself—especially when texting her husband. And apparently, depending on the situation, one of Lern's mysterious “hey” messages might lead to something considerably more interesting than a meeting with management. The crew debates whether texts need polite introductions, whether getting straight to the point is rude, and why “Hey, do you have a moment to talk?” might actually be worse than the original crime. The conclusion? STOP HEY HANGING PEOPLE. Unless you're Lern. Apparently she's not stopping. Then it's time for the main event: Fake News or Florida!Listeners call in for a chance to win tickets to Nickelback, AEW Dynamite and Collision, and Ludo's Halloween shows. All they have to do is decide whether an absolutely ridiculous headline really came from Florida or was invented by the show. Sounds easy, right? Unfortunately, this is Florida. A man trying to buy a margarita with a live horseshoe crab? A beachgoer throwing a hot dog at a police officer? A stolen tractor being used to get to a job interview? A woman calling 911 because her iced coffee wasn't sweet enough? At a certain point, the fake stories start sounding reasonable, and the real stories sound like somebody wrote them after losing a bet. To help the contestants, Moon and Clownvis combine their alleged expertise into a single trivia lifeline called Moonvis. Or Movis. Or Clune. Nobody can agree on the name, which is probably a warning sign about the quality of advice they're about to provide. The duo debates whether a Florida man would really fight a wooden pirate statue, whether vintage Pokémon cards could cover college tuition, and whether somebody could reasonably use a box of crab legs as a weapon during an argument about television.Meanwhile, Rizz discovers that the phrase “too ridiculous to be real” has absolutely no meaning when Florida is involved. The headlines just keep getting stranger. There's a motorized couch on a public highway, a stolen forklift headed to a liquor store, a man allegedly calling the police to complain about the quality of his illegal drugs, and somebody supposedly trying to travel to Cuba on an inflatable flamingo. And yes, the flamingo story is presented as real in the game. Which raises several important questions, starting with: Was it the same flamingo every time?One contestant calls while working, another disappears before answering a question, and poor Ricky gets a second chance to prove he can tell the difference between Florida crime and pure nonsense.The crew also tackles a macaw supposedly ordering a $5,000 leather jacket, a frozen waffle assault, an iguana hidden in a popcorn tub, and a stolen riding lawnmower getaway involving a tuxedo. At this point, we're not playing trivia anymore. We're conducting a psychological experiment on the entire state of Florida.The lifeline gets especially dangerous when Moon and Clownvis try to determine whether a man used a leaf blower to launch hot peppers at a neighbor's dog. Their disagreements become so ridiculous that they resort to rock-paper-scissors to settle the answer. That's right. People are trusting these two with their prize-winning decisions. And somehow, that still isn't the worst judgment call of the morning.From there, the game spirals into ambulance theft, mysterious hot chili in traffic, and the realization that even the show's self-appointed Florida experts might not understand Florida.Along the way, the gang finds time to discuss horseshoe crab blood, whether 50 different pizza toppings are even possible, and why calling the police to review your illegal purchases is a spectacularly bad idea. All of this while Clownvis is trying to maintain his dignity. A battle he lost approximately five minutes after arriving.It's birthday chaos, radio contests, strange headlines, cat jokes, workplace texting nightmares, and enough questionable Florida decisions to fill an entire police blotter.This funny podcast brings together everything you love about The Rizzuto Show: weird news, sarcastic humor, listener games, ridiculous conversations, and the kind of St. Louis morning-show energy that makes you feel significantly better about your own decision-making skills.And remember: If you're texting your boss, get to the point.

  Happy Birthday Rizz! Florida Fails, Clownvis & The Terror of “Hey” Texts 16.10.2026 27min

  It's Rizz's birthday, Clownvis is back in town, and apparently the most terrifying thing a human being can receive is a text message containing three letters: HEY.Welcome to another wonderfully unhinged episode of The Rizzuto Show, the funny podcast where St. Louis morning radio meets Florida's finest questionable decisions, workplace anxiety, and the kind of trivia game that should probably require a waiver.Rizz, Moon Valjean, Lern, and special guest Clownvis are back together, and somehow a perfectly normal Friday turns into a discussion about text-message etiquette, exotic animals as currency, frozen food as a weapon, and why nobody should ever trust a clown and a rock singer to make important decisions.First, happy birthday, Rizz!The gang kicks things off with football picks, a little Fast Lane rivalry, and a visit from Clownvis, who's been traveling all over the place and has absolutely no intention of slowing down.Clownvis previews his upcoming tour dates, including shows with Mac Sabbath, stops through Texas and the South, Florida performances, and a Halloween weekend cruise with Lamb of God.Because when you're an Elvis-inspired clown, apparently the natural next step is spending Halloween on a boat full of metal fans.Then the crew checks the calendar and discovers that it's National Boss's Day, National Dictionary Day, National Liquor Day, and Global Cat Day.Naturally, Lern suggests giving the boss one of her spare cats.Possibly one with a parasite.Happy Boss's Day, Tommy.

  Paul McCartney Remembers Being Born, England Runs Out of Hunks & Teslas Do Kickflips 16.10.2026 45min

  Paul McCartney remembers being born, England has officially run short on hunks, and Teslas are apparently doing kickflips. Welcome to a Friday where reality has completely stopped supervising itself.The Rizzuto Show is back with another gloriously ridiculous funny podcast featuring Rizz, Moon Valjean, Lern, and special guest Clownvis. And somehow, the biggest mystery of the day isn't whether a Beatle remembers his own birth. It's how many people are willing to buy a video game box that doesn't actually contain a video game.We kick things off in St. Louis with a little music, a little charity, and the realization that Moon has been planning his upcoming Greek Fire concert like he's directing a Broadway production.The band is preparing to return to Delmar Hall with new music, a three-act theatrical show, and local opener Native Monster. Moon explains that the whole experience is designed to tell a story through the band's music, complete with different eras, carefully planned transitions, and what Lern insists on calling costume changes.Rizz is ready to enjoy the show. Lern is coming too. Clownvis will be hanging out. The only real question is whether Rizz can make it through Act Three without accidentally becoming part of the performance.The crew also shouts out the local businesses supporting Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital through the show's October fundraiser, including the sponsors brave enough to put their names on everyone's hats. It's charitable giving with the added bonus of turning morning radio hosts into walking billboards.Then Lern casually announces that she's seen videos of Teslas doing kickflips.Not driving over ramps.Not performing impressive parking maneuvers.Actual upside-down, rocket-thruster-assisted kickflips.Moon points out that the videos are AI, but Lern isn't quite ready to surrender the dream of a car that can skateboard better than most humans.From there, we enter the deeply confusing world of Paul McCartney's earliest memory.During an appearance on Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast, the Beatles legend claimed to remember being born, including details about the delivery room and the difficult birth itself.Naturally, Rizz wants to know whether that's even possible.Moon brings up the science of infantile amnesia and how memories can be reconstructed over time. Lern argues that human brains are complicated and maybe extraordinary people have extraordinary abilities. And Rizz shares his own earliest memory: getting bitten by a llama at the zoo.That's right. Paul McCartney remembers entering the world. Rizz remembers being attacked by a farm animal.Both men went on to accomplish great things, depending on how generously you define great.The conversation gets into false memories, people who claim to remember life in the womb, and whether childhood recollections are anything more than stories our brains keep rewriting.Then it's time to talk about Grand Theft Auto 6, a game so anticipated that people are reportedly buying collectible boxes containing digital download codes instead of physical game discs.The crew debates the game's rumored focus on modern financial struggles, including student loans, credit card debt, grocery prices, and the impossible dream of buying a house.Finally, a video game where you can escape the crushing stress of everyday life by experiencing the crushing stress of everyday life.And if you thought that was depressing, wait until you hear about England's national hunk shortage.According to a story discussed on the show, the Mr. England pageant has been postponed because organizers couldn't find enough suitable contestants.They started with seven guys, managed to scrape together more candidates, lost a couple, and ultimately decided the nation needed additional time to locate some quality hunks.A whole country. Millions of people. Not enough hunks.Lern is concerned. Moon wants to investigate. Rizz can't believe this is a real conversation.Somehow, the discussion leads to Hugh Grant's infamous scandal and a guessing game about the name Divine Brown, with the crew confidently offering alternatives that sound more like discontinued barbecue sauces.And that's all before Crap on Celebrities.Lern dives into the decades-long feud between Oasis and Phil Collins, including Noel Gallagher's legendary dislike of the former Genesis frontman and the possibility of an awkward Rock & Roll Hall of Fame encounter.The gang also discusses Sammy Hagar's ongoing attempts to move past old Van Halen drama, Alex Van Halen's insults, and whether aging rock stars could maybe settle their differences before everybody needs a nap.Meanwhile, Henry Winkler insists he doesn't exaggerate the size of the fish he catches, though he admits he's less reliable when discussing certain other measurements.Carrot Top's reported return to his Las Vegas residency sparks a conversation about entertainers getting back onstage after serious health scares, while the crew also discusses a celebrity's difficult medical journey and remembers their late friend Jeff.The movie chatter includes new releases, questionable box-office performances, Neil Young defending Digger, Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz returning to The Mummy universe, and John Goodman reflecting on films he wishes had turned out differently.Then comes the musical argument nobody can resist: the greatest bands of all time.The crew examines a Consequence of Sound ranking that puts The Beatles at number one, Black Sabbath at number two, and The Velvet Underground at number three.Radiohead above The Rolling Stones?Led Zeppelin barely cracking the top ten?Rizz has questions. Moon has opinions. Lern has the list. Nobody is leaving this conversation satisfied.The show wraps up with celebrity birthdays, the uncomfortable realization that everyone's musical heroes are getting older, and a preview of the Fake News or Florida contest, where contestants must decide whether an outrageous headline came from the Sunshine State or the crew's increasingly questionable imagination.From Beatles birth memories and AI-generated car stunts to empty GTA boxes, missing British hunks, rock-star grudges, and controversial music rankings, this funny podcast is packed with weird news, celebrity gossip, St. Louis comedy, and the kind of sarcastic humor that makes you wonder how these people are allowed near microphones.Listen to this funny podcast with Rizz, Moon, Lern, and Clownvis for your daily dose of entertainment chaos.And remember: if your Tesla does a kickflip, you're probably watching AI. If Paul McCartney remembers being born, we're going to need a second opinion. And if you're a moderately attractive British man, congratulations—you might qualify for a national emergency response team.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.

  Clownvis Discovers Water, Lern Collects Cats & Halloween Gets Weird 16.10.2026 1h 3min

  Clownvis has discovered water, Lern is collecting cats like Pokémon, and somebody in Australia allegedly put snail poison in the office lunch. Happy Halloween, everybody.Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, the funny podcast where a grown man discovers hydration, the neighborhood cats have apparently elected Lern their landlord, and the crew spends an alarming amount of time debating whether diarrhea can be considered brutal.It's Friday in St. Louis, sweater weather has officially arrived, and Clownvis is back in the studio!After touring across America, Canada, and the Bahamas, the world's favorite Elvis-inspired clown returns wearing a leather jacket and bringing the kind of life-changing health advice nobody asked for.He's started drinking water.That's it. That's the breakthrough.Clownvis explains that filling a giant cup with ice water has transformed his mornings, improved his skin, and made him feel younger than ever. Rizz, Moon, and Lern are understandably stunned that ordinary H2O has apparently become the hottest new wellness trend.The conversation also takes a bizarre celebrity detour when Clownvis explains how a Cameo request from Maynard James Keenan of Tool and Puscifer led him to believe he was recording a birthday greeting for Matthew and Gunnar Nelson.Except the birthday boys weren't those Nelson twins.They were Matt and Gunner from Puscifer.Same first names. Completely different people. And Clownvis was already mentally preparing for a very strange musical crossover.Then it's Global Cat Day, which means Lern gets to celebrate her favorite holiday by announcing that she's acquired yet another furry freeloader.Well, technically, she hasn't adopted him.She's just named him Trouble, started feeding him, and accepted that he now hangs around her house with Mr. Gray, Clover, and Willow.So, yes, she's acquired another cat.Rizz suggests an intervention. Moon imagines an underground feline fighting championship. Lern insists she can't turn away a hungry animal.At this point, her Ellisville home is less of a residence and more of a cat-operated all-inclusive resort.And if the cats weren't enough, Rizz introduces the gang to beaver fever, a gastrointestinal parasite that can infect cats and potentially spread to humans.Naturally, a simple discussion about pet health becomes an extended debate over the difference between regular diarrhea, explosive diarrhea, and the apparently prestigious category of brutal diarrhea.The crew even invents what might be the world's worst death-metal double bill: Beaver Fever opening for Brutal Diarrhea.Somebody book the venue. Preferably one with excellent bathrooms.Next up: Would you hand your car keys to a complete stranger?Lern thinks she can trust her instincts. Rizz thinks she's one friendly parking assistant away from filing an insurance claim.A story about a Florida woman whose vehicle was allegedly stolen after she allowed two strangers to charge their phones inside it sends the crew into a debate about kindness, common sense, and whether anyone can actually spot a convincing liar.And then Halloween takes over.The gang debates the worst things to hand out to trick-or-treaters, and the results are a public service announcement for every neighborhood dentist.Toothbrushes? Absolutely not.Dental floss? Congratulations, you've ruined Halloween.Mini pretzels, raisins, bookmarks, pencils, sugar-free candy, and religious pamphlets? Please just turn off your porch light.Lern somehow makes a passionate case for a really cool Dracula bookmark. Clownvis defends raisins as valuable candy-trading currency. And everybody becomes increasingly concerned about what Halloween has done to the price of a 100 Grand bar.Nearly four dollars for a candy bar?Forget the haunted houses. That's the real nightmare.The crew also gets into the strange world of Halloween pumpkin colors, neighborhood decorations, giant skeletons, and whether spooky season has become too scary for kids.Lern is thrilled with the oversized skeletons decorating her yard. Rizz is preparing for a Halloween party at Ballpark Village. And Clownvis is heading to the Bahamas for a metal cruise featuring Lamb of God and other heavy-hitting acts.Because when you think Halloween, naturally you think tropical vacation with a boat full of metalheads.From there, things get even spookier as Rizz reveals a ranking of America's most haunted cities.St. Louis lands at number 38, prompting the gang to discuss local legends like the Lemp Mansion, Zombie Road, and McPike Mansion in Alton.Clownvis talks about visiting the Stanley Hotel, Lern dreams of more ghost tours, and everybody wonders why St. Louis isn't ranked higher on the paranormal leaderboard.Apparently our ghosts need better marketing.The Halloween hypotheticals continue with an important question: Would you let a hungry vampire drink your blood if you knew you'd survive?Lern has one condition.The vampire needs to be hot.Of course.Finally, the crew dives into a truly unsettling weird-news story from Western Australia, where a woman was accused of putting toxic snail pellets into a coworker's homemade curry.The discussion turns into a debate about office lunch thieves, revenge pranks, and why seeing suspicious bright-green granules in your food should probably discourage you from taking a taste.It's the kind of workplace drama that makes somebody stealing your cheese stick seem downright wholesome.From Clownvis's hydration revelation and Lern's expanding cat collection to Halloween candy disasters, haunted St. Louis history, vampire dating standards, and a poisonous office lunch, The Rizzuto Show #41 delivers another spectacularly unhinged serving of daily comedy.This funny podcast has everything: weird news, local St. Louis humor, celebrity stories, spooky debates, and enough cat-related gastrointestinal concerns to make everyone reconsider their morning routine.Listen to this funny podcast with Rizz, Moon, Lern, and special guest Clownvis.Just remember three things:Drink your water.Don't hand strangers your car keys.And if somebody puts neon-green sprinkles in your curry, maybe skip lunch.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.

  DAILY SHOW: Let's Not Gloss Over A Pillow Fight With Prince | The Rizzuto Comedy Podcast 15.10.2026 2h 50min

  A donut emergency, a lower-back tattoo identity crisis, and the possibility of cloning your hair before it abandons you. Science is moving forward. Humanity? Debatable.Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, the funny podcast where St. Louis news, rock music, weird science, questionable fashion choices, and an alarming amount of food talk somehow become a perfectly normal morning.Rizz, Moon, Lern, Rafe, and special guest Devon are back with another round of daily comedy and sarcastic commentary, and this time we're tackling the important issues: Can you freeze your hair for future use? Is a tramp stamp still a tramp stamp if Gen Z calls it a cake topper? And how are we supposed to maintain a healthy diet when St. Louis keeps producing incredible donuts?First, the crew gets ready for Greek Fire's upcoming show at Delmar Hall, where Moon promises at least three new songs. Rizz has already heard some of the music, Lern wants to experience it live, and Rafe suggests the new material might sound suspiciously like André 3000's flute album. Moon assures everyone there will be no flute. Apparently, the oboe-and-tuba market remains wide open.That launches a trip through rock history as Rizz remembers footage of Dave Mustaine wandering onto the stage during a Guns N' Roses performance. The gang debates Megadeth versus Metallica, the unforgettable artwork of Vic Rattlehead and Iron Maiden's Eddie, and whether some music fans treat choosing a favorite metal band like declaring allegiance in an international conflict.Then it's time for weird news, beginning with a mysterious vandal spray-painting religious messages around Blue Springs, Missouri. The gang agrees that having a message doesn't give you permission to redecorate somebody else's building.But that's nothing compared to Lern's latest update from the Rizz Show Apocalypse Desk.Apparently, another predicted date for the Rapture has come and gone, and Lern forgot to warn everybody until afterward. The crew debates doomsday predictions, followers who reportedly made drastic financial decisions, and what the end of the world would actually look like. Would people float into the sky? Disappear instantly? Deflate like balloons?These are the theological questions that can only be answered by a room full of radio personalities who were supposed to be discussing the news.Back in St. Louis, the mood turns serious when the gang discusses a fire at Old Town Donuts in Florissant. Thankfully, the report says nobody was injured, but the beloved local donut shop has the crew thinking about favorite pastries, simple glazed classics, long johns, and the sacred art of eating a grocery-store donut before you reach your car.Unfortunately, Moon has recently eliminated added sugar from his diet, which means every conversation about donuts is now an act of psychological warfare. Rizz has also been cutting carbs and says he's down 15 pounds, but his strategy includes watching elaborate pasta and cheese videos with the concentration of a man studying for the bar exam. Lern catches him in the act. Rizz insists watching food videos helps him resist temptation. Nobody else is particularly convinced.The food obsession continues when the gang celebrates Three Kings Public House at St. Louis Lambert International Airport being recognized in a USA Today readers' poll for best airport bar. From there, it's a tour of surprisingly good gas-station cuisine, including QuikTrip, Casey's, Wawa, Sheetz, barbecue, fried chicken, and unexpected international food finds around the St. Louis area.Moon and Rafe also share the glorious spectacle of watching intoxicated customers attempt to order food at a Wawa after the bars close. Sometimes the biggest challenge isn't choosing a sandwich. It's remembering your own name when the employee calls it.Then comes the cultural debate nobody knew we needed. Gen Z wants to rebrand the tramp stamp. The suggested replacement? Cake topper. Other contenders include bumper sticker and booty mark, because apparently the English language needed more ways to describe a tattoo directly above somebody's rear end.Lern proudly admits she got her lower-back tattoo almost immediately after turning 18, then shares how her younger sister accidentally exposed the secret to her family. Moon reveals that he also has a tramp stamp, except his came from a questionable tattoo shop next to a former North County adult establishment, and the experience has not aged particularly well.The crew debates tattoo regrets, changing slang, generational differences, and why a new name doesn't necessarily make a terrible decision any better.Next, couples are apparently taking up pole dancing together as a workout, a bonding activity, and even an alternative to the traditional wedding dance. Lern and Moon appreciate the athleticism and strength involved, while Rizz struggles to imagine himself gracefully spinning around anything.Rafe recalls performing stand-up at an event where aerial performers, contortionists, paintings, and a man wearing goat horns while playing a pan flute were all competing for attention. It's hard to win over a comedy crowd when the circus is literally happening above your head.Then, this funny podcast dives headfirst into the future of baldness. Scientists are exploring experimental hair banking and hair cloning, which could someday allow people to preserve hair follicles and potentially grow new hair from them. The process isn't FDA-approved, and the technology still has major limitations, but that doesn't stop the gang from imagining a future where you can order somebody else's luxurious surfer hair like a custom accessory.Moon wonders whether he could borrow another man's hair. Lern considers the possibilities for beards. Rafe, naturally, finds a way to make the conversation considerably less sophisticated.The gang also discusses hair-loss genetics, family baldness, hair transplants, and why the lengths people go to preserve a hairline can get pretty intense.Plus, the crew explores trending Halloween costumes, because nothing says spooky season like trying to explain an internet-reference costume to someone who has absolutely no idea who you're supposed to be.From Old Town Donuts and St. Louis food favorites to hair cloning, tattoo regrets, metal legends, doomsday predictions, and couples pole dancing, Episode 88 delivers the weird news, funny stories, and pop culture chaos that make The Rizzuto Show a daily St. Louis tradition. This funny podcast has everything: donuts you can't eat, hair you can't clone yet, tattoos you can't undo, and an apocalypse that apparently forgot to show up. At least the radio show was on time. Mostly.What if criminals only robbed other criminals? Who's listening through your shopping apps? And how did Prince end up in a pillow fight with Sinéad O'Connor?Chaos begins when Rafe sends Rizz a viral video asking a truly unhinged question: Why don't criminals just rob registered sex offenders instead of innocent people?The internet apparently believes it has discovered a loophole in the criminal justice system. The crew debates the ridiculous premise, Rafe invents an increasingly elaborate Liam Neeson-style hostage scenario, and everybody repeatedly reminds listeners that breaking into someone's house is, in fact, a crime.Yes, even when your imaginary movie plot makes it sound convenient. But the conversation takes a much stranger turn when Lern decides to investigate the sex offender registry around her neighborhood. What follows is a spectacularly uncomfortable live rabbit hole.Lern discovers just how much information is available through online registry maps, Moon warns her that she's about to ruin her own day, and Rafe predicts she's going to turn her house into a detective headquarters complete with red string and an evidence board.The gang discusses neighborhood safety, the unsettling details that appear in public records, and why knowing what's around you can be useful without turning every evening into an episode of Criminal Minds.And somehow, a discussion about public safety turns into the crew examining one particularly bizarre physical description in a registry listing.We would explain more, but some things are better left to the actual audio.Then the conversation shifts from neighborhood surveillance to your phone potentially surveilling you. Missouri's attorney general has announced a lawsuit against Temu, alleging serious problems involving consumer data, tracking, privacy, deceptive pricing, and counterfeit merchandise.The crew discusses the accusations, the dangers of suspiciously cheap shopping apps, and whether a $4 dress is really a bargain when it arrives looking like a napkin with sleeves.Rafe shares a story about someone ordering a couch that turned out to be practically dollhouse-sized. Moon talks about his kids discovering the joys of cheap online clothing, and Lern admits she's already suspicious that her messaging apps are listening to conversations that nobody should ever hear. Nothing says modern technology like wondering whether your phone knows too much about you while you're trying to buy a discount lamp.Next, it's time for Crap on Celebrities, where rock history, Hollywood rumors, and entertainment news collide. First up: Sonic Temple 2027. The festival is adding bands including Primus, Clutch, and Crowbar, which gives Rizz an opportunity to confess his newfound obsession with Clutch. After years of somehow missing the band, he's convinced they'll dominate his Spotify listening recap. Better late than never. Especially when you're several decades late.The crew also discusses reports that Led Zeppelin's “Stairway to Heaven” is being used in a trailer for Greta Gerwig's upcoming Chronicles of Narnia adaptation.Considering how difficult Zeppelin music has historically been to license, the gang wonders what finally convinced everyone to open the vault. Maybe Robert Plant is secretly a huge Narnia guy. Stranger things have happened.Then comes one of the episode's strangest celebrity stories.A new book revisits Sinéad O'Connor's account of an alleged confrontation with Prince, including her claim that an encounter at his home involved a pillow fight that turned hostile. The crew can't get past the pillow-fight detail. Rizz imagines Prince loading his pillowcase with something considerably less fluffy, Moon debates the singer's physical stature, and the whole conversation inevitably wanders toward Dave Chappelle's legendary Prince basketball sketch.Meanwhile, Guns N' Roses are reportedly looking toward studio work after touring, although the gang struggles to remember the band's recent songs.In more somber rock news, the show remembers David Surkamp of St. Louis band Pavlov's Dog, discussing his distinctive voice, the group's local legacy, and its international following.The celebrity roundup keeps moving with Kelsey Grammer's reported new medical drama, a strange allegation involving Jennifer Aniston and an embarrassing gift, and discussion of serious allegations against Russell Brand.The crew also spots a familiar St. Louis face: Scott Bakula at a St. Louis CITY SC match. Rafe remembers the old STL Up Late crew's running dream of getting Bakula to appear on their show. Sadly, the Quantum Leap star never materialized out of thin air. Apparently time travel has its limits. Then it's awards season for the most important honor nobody can adequately explain.Anthony Edwards' satirical Believe That Awards are back, and the crew debates Justin Bieber being named White Boy of the Year.Rizz makes the case for Tom Holland. Moon considers Erling Haaland. Travis Kelce enters the conversation. Nobody agrees on the criteria, which feels appropriate for an award show that also includes a category called the Bring Your Ass Award. Rizz wants to win that one. He just needs somebody to explain what it means first.There's also talk of a Mike Tyson documentary that gets Rizz unexpectedly emotional, celebrity birthdays, and the usual assortment of entertainment trivia that somehow produces more questions than answers.Along the way, the show continues its October fundraising efforts for Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital, thanking local sponsors and highlighting opportunities to support the cause, including Greek Fire's upcoming show at Delmar Hall.Because even this crew occasionally manages to do something productive between bad jokes.From a completely ridiculous vigilante robbery debate to online privacy scares, rock legends, St. Louis music history, celebrity controversies, and award-show nonsense, Episode 12 has the strange stories and sarcastic humor that keep The Rizzuto Show gloriously off the rails.If you like a funny podcast that can jump from neighborhood safety to tiny couches to Prince's alleged pillow-fighting techniques without missing a beat, you've found your people. It's weird news, celebrity chaos, and St. Louis comedy all wrapped up in one funny podcast. And for the record: please don't rob anybody. The legal department would like at least one peaceful morning.One paperclip. One hour. Two hundred people searching your house. One million dollars on the line. And somehow Moon's plan involves a dead bird.Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, the funny podcast where a perfectly innocent hypothetical becomes a criminal investigation, St. Louis parking lots deserve their own horror franchise, and the crew discovers that apparently you can turn complaining about your hometown into an actual career.Rafe Williams is heading to Ann Arbor, Michigan, for a weekend of comedy shows and his first experience at a major college football game. He's going to Michigan Stadium, better known as the Big House, to watch the Wolverines take on Penn State in front of more than 100,000 people. For a guy who's never attended a massive Division I football game, that's quite an introduction. Rafe scores a last-minute Airbnb just a couple blocks from the stadium, prepares to fly Southwest, and casually mentions that he doesn't have a REAL ID. Nothing like publicly announcing your airport security situation on a morning radio show. But before Rafe can escape to Michigan, Rizz presents the crew with a hypothetical that immediately reveals how disturbingly creative everyone can be when money is involved.You have one hour to hide a single paperclip somewhere inside your house. Then 200 people get one hour to search for it. If nobody finds it, you win $1 million. Where do you hide it? Simple question. Absolutely horrifying answers.Lern wants to open an old remote control and hide the paperclip inside the battery compartment, buried deep in that mysterious drawer of cables, chargers, and electronics nobody has touched since 2008. Rizz considers dropping it into a shampoo bottle, hoping nobody thinks to empty every container in the bathroom. Rafe suggests hiding it in plain sight by making it part of the toilet's flushing mechanism. He also considers cereal boxes, plumbing, and several locations that raise legitimate concerns about his understanding of human anatomy. And Moon? Moon decides the best strategy is to find a dead bird in his attic, hide the paperclip inside it, and bury the whole thing in fiberglass insulation. Yes. A dead bird. Apparently, when a million dollars is at stake, Moon becomes the world's least qualified forensic pathologist. The crew debates whether searchers would destroy the plumbing, empty every cereal box, inspect the lint trap, or simply tear the house apart like a SWAT team searching for the world's smallest fugitive.Listeners throw out their own suggestions, including peanut butter, recessed lighting, and hiding the paperclip among other paperclips. By the end, everybody has a plan. Nobody has a million dollars. And somebody should probably check Moon's attic.Then the show takes a serious turn with a tragic story from Nagoya, Japan, where a young woman reportedly died after a man jumped from an apartment building and landed on her. The man survived, and the woman's father is pushing for more serious criminal charges. The crew discusses the complicated questions surrounding criminal responsibility, recklessness, mental health, and the devastating consequences for everyone involved. It's a heartbreaking story that sparks a thoughtful conversation about accountability and an unimaginable loss.But this funny podcast soon returns to familiar territory when a special guest arrives in the studio. Megan, the creator behind the popular STL Ain't Bad social media account, joins The Rizzuto Show with her boyfriend Ian. With nearly 200,000 followers at the time of the conversation, Megan has built a community around a refreshingly simple idea: St. Louis isn't perfect. But it definitely ain't bad.Megan explains how the account began during the pandemic as a personal project, inspired partly by hearing people from outside Missouri dismiss St. Louis without really knowing anything about it. Instead of pretending the city is flawless, she started celebrating its restaurants, neighborhoods, events, shared experiences, and uniquely St. Louis frustrations. Because loving your hometown doesn't mean you have to defend every pothole. Especially not the Brentwood Promenade parking lot. That particular asphalt nightmare becomes one of the episode's biggest local talking points. Megan explains why posts about Brentwood Promenade and nostalgia for the old Talayna's bar reliably get St. Louis residents fired up. Everybody has a Brentwood parking story. Nobody has a good one.The gang also discusses endless highway construction, the old Millennium Hotel, West County childhood memories, and the strange phenomenon of living in a city where everybody seems to know somebody you went to high school with.St. Louis might be a major metropolitan area, but socially, it's basically a small town with an Arch.Megan also shares the story of leaving her full-time corporate job to focus on STL Ain't Bad, the challenges of turning social media into a career, and why she thinks education in digital marketing and influencing can actually be valuable. Rizz admits he used to question the idea of getting a degree in social media. Then he remembered that he chose radio as a profession. Suddenly, the whole thing made a lot more sense.The conversation turns to Megan and Ian's latest business venture, Ain't Bad Booths, a collection of retro-style photo booths popping up around St. Louis.What began as an idea after waiting in line for a photo booth in freezing New York weather has turned into a local business with locations at City Foundry, Midwestern, and Urban Chestnut, with another planned for the Washington Avenue Food Hall.Ian helps handle the electronics and customer service side, which means he gets the unexpected pleasure of answering phone calls from people who are shocked an actual human being picked up. The future of technology is incredible. And apparently it still involves somebody asking whether you've tried turning it off and back on.From there, the crew explores Westport Plaza's comeback, the giant Rawlings baseball glove, and whether that enormous glove should rotate so everybody driving past gets a better view. Lern has thoughts. Naturally.Megan recommends local restaurants, including Basso, while Ian admits that dating a St. Louis content creator has introduced him to a whole new world of restaurants, concerts, and experiences. Growing up in Catawissa, Missouri, Ian didn't attend his first concert until a recent Post Malone show at Busch Stadium. Moon is horrified. Lern is determined to help. And suddenly Ian is being encouraged to attend Greek Fire at Delmar Hall and potentially experience the joys of crowd surfing. The man came in to support his girlfriend's interview. He may leave with a rock-and-roll homework assignment.The crew also discusses the excitement of experiencing things for the first time, why trying new activities can make life feel richer, and how Megan's enthusiasm for St. Louis has helped Ian discover places he'd never visited before.It's a surprisingly wholesome reminder that sometimes the best way to appreciate your hometown is to explore it like a tourist.From million-dollar paperclip hiding strategies and Michigan football dreams to Brentwood Promenade nightmares, St. Louis nostalgia, social media entrepreneurship, and the city's growing restaurant scene, Episode 116 delivers a little bit of everything.This funny podcast celebrates the strange, sarcastic, occasionally embarrassing things that make St. Louis feel like home. Come for the million-dollar hypothetical. Stay for the local love. And remember: if you ever find a dead bird buried in Moon's attic insulation, please don't ask why. There's probably a paperclip involved.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.Blue Springs Police searching for 'Jesus Saves' graffitiing 'Jesus Saves' on private property across the cityPastor who botched Doomsday prophecy predicts new dateFire damages beloved Florissant donut shop - St. LouisThree Kings restaurant at Lambert Airport rated No. 1 in country See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

  Million-Dollar Paperclips, Dead Birds & STL Ain't Bad 15.10.2026 37min

  One paperclip. One hour. Two hundred people searching your house. One million dollars on the line. And somehow Moon's plan involves a dead bird.Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, the funny podcast where a perfectly innocent hypothetical becomes a criminal investigation, St. Louis parking lots deserve their own horror franchise, and the crew discovers that apparently you can turn complaining about your hometown into an actual career.Rizz, Moon, Lern, Rafe, and Devon are back with another round of ridiculous questions, funny stories, local St. Louis chaos, and an interview with someone who's making a living reminding people that our city isn't nearly as terrible as the internet insists.First, Rafe Williams is heading to Ann Arbor, Michigan, for a weekend of comedy shows and his first experience at a major college football game.He's going to Michigan Stadium, better known as the Big House, to watch the Wolverines take on Penn State in front of more than 100,000 people.For a guy who's never attended a massive Division I football game, that's quite an introduction.Rafe scores a last-minute Airbnb just a couple blocks from the stadium, prepares to fly Southwest, and casually mentions that he doesn't have a REAL ID.Nothing like publicly announcing your airport security situation on a morning radio show.But before Rafe can escape to Michigan, Rizz presents the crew with a hypothetical that immediately reveals how disturbingly creative everyone can be when money is involved.You have one hour to hide a single paperclip somewhere inside your house.

  Vigilante Robbery, Temu Spying & Rock Star Pillow Fights 15.10.2026 44min

  What if criminals only robbed other criminals? Who's listening through your shopping apps? And how did Prince end up in a pillow fight with Sinéad O'Connor?Welcome to another episode of The Rizzuto Show, the funny podcast where one terrible hypothetical can derail an entire morning and nobody seems particularly interested in getting the train back on the tracks.Rizz, Moon, Lern, and Rafe are back in the studio with a fresh batch of weird news, celebrity gossip, rock music updates, St. Louis stories, and questions that probably should've stayed inside somebody's head.Today's chaos begins when Rafe sends Rizz a viral video asking a truly unhinged question: Why don't criminals just rob registered sex offenders instead of innocent people?The internet apparently believes it has discovered a loophole in the criminal justice system. The crew debates the ridiculous premise, Rafe invents an increasingly elaborate Liam Neeson-style hostage scenario, and everybody repeatedly reminds listeners that breaking into someone's house is, in fact, a crime.Yes, even when your imaginary movie plot makes it sound convenient.But the conversation takes a much stranger turn when Lern decides to investigate the sex offender registry around her neighborhood.What follows is a spectacularly uncomfortable live rabbit hole.Lern discovers just how much information is available through online registry maps, Moon warns her that she's about to ruin her own day, and Rafe predicts she's going to turn her house into a detective headquarters complete with red string and an evidence board.The gang discusses neighborhood safety, the unsettling details that appear in public records, and why knowing what's around you can be useful without turning every evening into an episode of Criminal Minds.And somehow, a discussion about public safety turns into the crew examining one particularly bizarre physical description in a registry listing.We would explain more, but some things are better left to the actual audio.Then the conversation shifts from neighborhood surveillance to your phone potentially surveilling you.Missouri's attorney general has announced a lawsuit against Temu, alleging serious problems involving consumer data, tracking, privacy, deceptive pricing, and counterfeit merchandise.The crew discusses the accusations, the dangers of suspiciously cheap shopping apps, and whether a $4 dress is really a bargain when it arrives looking like a napkin with sleeves.Rafe shares a story about someone ordering a couch that turned out to be practically dollhouse-sized. Moon talks about his kids discovering the joys of cheap online clothing, and Lern admits she's already suspicious that her messaging apps are listening to conversations that nobody should ever hear.Nothing says modern technology like wondering whether your phone knows too much about you while you're trying to buy a discount lamp.Next, it's time for Crap on Celebrities, where rock history, Hollywood rumors, and entertainment news collide.First up: Sonic Temple 2027.The festival is adding bands including Primus, Clutch, and Crowbar, which gives Rizz an opportunity to confess his newfound obsession with Clutch. After years of somehow missing the band, he's convinced they'll dominate his Spotify listening recap.Better late than never. Especially when you're several decades late.The crew also discusses reports that Led Zeppelin's “Stairway to Heaven” is being used in a trailer for Greta Gerwig's upcoming Chronicles of Narnia adaptation.Considering how difficult Zeppelin music has historically been to license, the gang wonders what finally convinced everyone to open the vault. Maybe Robert Plant is secretly a huge Narnia guy. Stranger things have happened.Then comes one of the episode's strangest celebrity stories.A new book revisits Sinéad O'Connor's account of an alleged confrontation with Prince, including her claim that an encounter at his home involved a pillow fight that turned hostile.The crew can't get past the pillow-fight detail.Rizz imagines Prince loading his pillowcase with something considerably less fluffy, Moon debates the singer's physical stature, and the whole conversation inevitably wanders toward Dave Chappelle's legendary Prince basketball sketch.Meanwhile, Guns N' Roses are reportedly looking toward studio work after touring, although the gang struggles to remember the band's recent songs.In more somber rock news, the show remembers David Surkamp of St. Louis band Pavlov's Dog, discussing his distinctive voice, the group's local legacy, and its international following.The celebrity roundup keeps moving with Kelsey Grammer's reported new medical drama, a strange allegation involving Jennifer Aniston and an embarrassing gift, and discussion of serious allegations against Russell Brand.The crew also spots a familiar St. Louis face: Scott Bakula at a St. Louis CITY SC match.Rafe remembers the old STL Up Late crew's running dream of getting Bakula to appear on their show. Sadly, the Quantum Leap star never materialized out of thin air.Apparently time travel has its limits.Then it's awards season for the most important honor nobody can adequately explain.Anthony Edwards' satirical Believe That Awards are back, and the crew debates Justin Bieber being named White Boy of the Year.Rizz makes the case for Tom Holland. Moon considers Erling Haaland. Travis Kelce enters the conversation.
