   Number 1: DAILY PODCAST: Bret Michaels and Willie Nelson Salute the Man in the Red Bandana | The Rizzuto Comedy Show

   Welcome to another episode of The Rizzuto Show, where getting stitches removed somehow leads to naked shopping, bathroom trauma, fart acceptance, a landfill cat rescue and a serious debate over whether anybody under 25 knows what cash is anymore. This funny show starts with Rizz preparing to finally get his stitches removed and worrying about the scar underneath. Naturally, this becomes a conversation about aging, falling down stairs, mysterious back injuries, hearing loss, stretching just to remain operational and the depressing discovery that modern medicine may be helping us live longer without necessarily making those extra years more comfortable. Welcome to the Geriatric Morning Show. Please bend at the knees when exiting. Then Rizz offers the crew a choice between a nice story and somebody getting naked at Home Goods. Guess which one wins. A Florida shopper reportedly walks into Home Goods, apologizes to a woman, drops his pants and eventually ends up wandering around the store naked. This somehow inspires Lern to consider whether shopping at Home Goods completely nude might actually be enjoyable under the correct circumstances. Soon the crew is discussing nudist resorts, naked grocery shopping and towel etiquette because we apparently abandoned the original story somewhere around decorative throw pillows. That also gives Rafe the opportunity to share his own recent encounter with unexpected nudity: walking into a restaurant bathroom and finding a grown man at the urinal with his pants and underwear completely around his ankles. Full moon. Broad daylight. Rafe’s brain immediately activates what Lern describes as the human security system designed to detect either exposed butts or approaching lions. It’s science. Probably. The episode then moves into an alleged MMA fighter-versus-chimpanzee story that has the crew firmly rooting for the animal and questioning every decision that led humanity to this particular moment. Thankfully, we eventually get an animal story everybody can celebrate: Mike, an eight-year-old cat accidentally thrown away inside an old couch. After the couch reaches a massive landfill, workers miraculously spot Mike stranded above a trash pit. A crew uses heavy equipment to help rescue him before animal control eventually gets him identified and reunited with his owner. Mike survives. Humanity gets one point back. Then comes one of modern society’s smallest yet most powerful social anxieties: the restaurant payment screen. “It’s going to ask you a quick question.” WE KNOW WHAT THE QUESTION IS. The gang debates tipping pressure, servers standing beside you while you choose a percentage and the awkward eye contact that turns paying for lunch into a hostage negotiation. A viral server offers a surprisingly simple solution: hand over the device and talk to somebody else while the customer finishes paying. Meanwhile, Gen Alpha has apparently solved another social crisis entirely: being embarrassed about farting. A dance teacher says younger students just let them rip without carrying the shame previous generations dragged around for decades. Moon is thrilled. Lern shares some personal wind-instrument history. Suddenly the Rizzuto Show is analyzing bass versus treble fart tones because NPR wasn't available. The generational divide continues when Rizz watches a young Panera cashier struggle with actual paper money. That launches a debate over whether cash is still king, whether digital money is safer, what happens if the power grid goes down and whether anyone really wants to shave pieces off a gold bar to pay for bananas at Schnucks. From there, the crew remembers the inconveniences younger generations escaped: waiting beside the family phone for an important call, giant telephone cords, payphones, snow-day announcements, shared phone lines and parents losing their minds when somebody dared call during dinner. But this episode also takes a meaningful turn. Rizz reflects on September 11 and what it means that an event still so vivid for people who experienced it is now history taught to younger generations who weren't alive when it happened. He shares memories of being in Manhattan that morning, the confusion surrounding the attacks and the way people came together afterward. The crew also discusses Wells Crowther, remembered as the Man in the Red Bandana, who repeatedly helped people escape the South Tower before losing his own life. Rizz connects the story to conversations with his daughter and the importance of remembering not only what happened, but the people who ran toward danger to help others. Well, this one gets uncomfortable immediately. The Rizzuto Show discusses the fallout surrounding former Wheel of Fortune announcer Jim Thornton and the chat room he was reportedly spotted visiting on a flight. The organization behind that online community responds to the controversy, and suddenly the crew finds itself having a much more complicated conversation than anybody probably expected this early in the morning. The discussion centers on a difficult question: if someone recognizes that they’re having dangerous or disturbing thoughts and genuinely wants professional help before ever harming another person, where should that help come from — and where is the line between providing treatment and creating an environment that could normalize or encourage those thoughts? It’s exactly the kind of conversation where this comedy podcast somehow wanders from psychology and morality to robot technology and eventually a hypothetical island solution nobody should ever allow this crew to administer. Thankfully, Crap on Celebrities eventually arrives to rescue everyone from that conversation. Sort of. The Foo Fighters have quietly released a six-track live EP featuring performances from intimate club shows, with proceeds supporting local charities fighting food insecurity. So that's genuinely nice. Then the Spice Girls decide to emotionally clothesline their fans. After teasing a major announcement and getting reunion-starved fans dreaming about a possible Sphere residency, the big reveal turns out to be…a 14-disc singles collection. FOURTEEN DISCS. Somewhere, somebody had already started explaining to their spouse why spending irresponsible amounts of money to hear “Wannabe” in Las Vegas was actually a sound financial decision. Instead, congratulations: here are B-sides. Michael Jackson memorabilia also enters the conversation when one of his crystal-covered gloves from the Victory Tour heads to auction. The crew is shocked by the projected price and immediately starts calculating its future value like they’re suddenly Sotheby’s with fart jokes. Snoop Dogg is announced as host of the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, Nirvana is set for the Video Vanguard Award, and the gang wonders who exactly the VMAs are for anymore. Once upon a time, you planned your entire night around MTV. Now we're explaining to the children that MTV technically still exists. St. Louis gets dragged into Crap on Celebrities too, with Sexyy Red facing a lawsuit over allegations that she posted a woman’s home address and encouraged followers to attack her. Her attorney disputes the allegations, but it gives the show another opportunity to demonstrate why “celebrity news” is sometimes just a nicer phrase for “what the hell is happening?” And then we get Rick Springfield. During an appearance on Joe Rogan, Springfield discussed spending time entertaining American troops in Vietnam in 1968 and described being caught in an attack. According to his story, soldiers had him fire a mortar toward an area where enemy forces were believed to be moving. The next day, he says, a soldier told him, “you got one.” That revelation leads to a very serious discussion about the emotional weight Springfield says he still carries from the experience. It also leads Rafe to have…questions. A lot of questions. The crew debates the details of the story, how a teenage musician visiting troops ends up operating a mortar, what training would have been necessary, how anyone could have confirmed the result afterward and whether decades can alter the way people remember extraordinary experiences. Celebrity chaos continues with Nobody Wants This, the return of Practical Magic, Sandra Bullock, some rough Rotten Tomatoes scores, Liam Neeson continuing his lifelong commitment to finding people, and an Oasis documentary apparently becoming the safest movie choice of the weekend. The crew also discusses a documentary examining Alec Baldwin during the legal fallout surrounding the Rust shooting before Lern tries to brighten a show filled with unusually serious subjects by bringing in Dolly Parton and a posthumously released recording of “Bound to Ride.” That immediately creates another important Rizzuto Show question: exactly where are you supposed to listen to bluegrass? Driving sadly through the countryside? Silver Dollar City? Somewhere near Branson while buying a pop gun? We may never know. Then it’s celebrity birthdays, Brian De Palma appreciation, a reminder that Carlito’s Way deserves your attention and, because we apparently weren't already operating at maximum weirdness, the traditional porno birthday. Nothing exposes how differently your coworkers’ brains function quite like asking them to name a country in Europe and putting concert tickets on the line. The Rizzuto Show brings us another round of “Just the Two of Us,” the deceptively simple contest where callers pick two members of the show, Rafe asks five questions, and those two people attempt to match at least three answers. Easy, right? Absolutely not. Before the competition begins, Rizz takes a trip through “Back in the Day,” remembering everything from The Carol Burnett Show and Little House on the Prairie to Warrant’s “Cherry Pie,” Johnny Unitas, John Ritter and one of the Internet’s earliest great gifts: Nick Nolte’s spectacularly disheveled mugshot. Then it's time to give away concert tickets, and suddenly this becomes the most stressful game show in St. Louis. The prize pile is loaded with Candlebox, Violent Femmes, Toadies, Babymetal and the final precious pairs of Rush tickets. Unfortunately for the listeners, their ability to attend these concerts depends entirely on whether members of the Rizz Show can agree on incredibly complicated concepts like “an ocean.” Devon and Moon kick things off for caller Adam, who wants Rush tickets. They immediately connect on France, miss each other on states beginning with M, recover with the Arch as a St. Louis tourist attraction and seal the deal with the Pacific Ocean. Adam is going to Rush. For once, this show has successfully accomplished something. Then Rizz and Moon attempt to win Babymetal tickets for Paul. They agree on baseball but immediately demonstrate why this game is dangerous when “name an Olympic sport” produces hockey and curling. Dumbbell saves them on gym equipment, but sledding versus skiing and NFL versus MLB finish the job. Sorry, Paul. The Babymetal dream has died at the hands of winter recreation. Rizz and Moon get another chance when Brad wants Violent Femmes tickets, and this time food brings everybody together. Peanut butter and jelly. Sausage pizza. Vanilla ice cream. McDonald’s. Beautiful. Unfortunately, the phrase “healthy breakfast cereal” gives us Grape-Nuts, a cereal the show describes with all the enthusiasm normally reserved for eating landscaping material. Somehow that leads to confessions about demolishing boxes of Lucky Charms and Corn Pops, including the dangerous cycle of adding cereal because you have leftover milk, then adding milk because you have leftover cereal, until the box is empty and you're sitting alone with your shame. This is the nutritional guidance you expect from The Rizzuto Show. Then comes the final pair of Rush tickets.Kyle chooses Lern and Devon, setting up an alleged generational showdown between a 41-year-old and a 30-year-old. Things immediately become catastrophic. “Name a superhero.” Superman. Wonder Woman. Oh no... “Name a Disney animated movie.” The Little Mermaid. Bambi. OH NO. At this point, Kyle is watching his Rush tickets disappear in real time while Patient Zero starts sniffing around the wreckage. But then something happens. Monopoly. Netflix. Instagram. Three straight matches. THE COMEBACK IS COMPLETE. Kyle is going to Rush, Lern and Devon have successfully bridged the generational divide, and feminism survives another morning. Justin chooses Rizz and Devon for the final game, with Candlebox tickets waiting at the finish line. They match immediately on guitar. Then rock. Things are looking suspiciously competent. Naturally, it cannot last. Asked to name a famous rock band from the 1980s, Devon goes with Mötley Crüe while Rizz lands elsewhere, launching an argument over what exactly qualifies as an “’80s band” and whether Rush counts just because Moving Pictures came out in 1981. Then comes the holiday-song disaster. Devon chooses Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Rizz chooses “Jingle Bells.” Suddenly we're debating whether the most obvious Christmas song is determined by history, kindergarten classrooms or how aggressively Mariah Carey emerges from hibernation every November. It all comes down to one final question: Name something you find on a desk. The obvious possibilities are endless. Computer. Stapler. Tape dispenser. Mouse. Rizz and Devon? Pen... and LAMP. “There will be no Candlebox today.” Brutal. Along the way, the crew also defends Candlebox’s honor, remembers their early Pointfest days, argues about cereal, discusses the Raygun breakdancing documentary, makes questionable winter-activity suggestions and repeatedly proves that knowing someone for years does not mean you have any clue what word is about to come out of their mouth. That’s the beauty of “Just the Two of Us.” The questions aren't difficult. The people answering them are. This episode is daily comedy at its most beautifully unnecessary: great concert tickets, easy questions, terrible instincts, miraculous comebacks, wounded callers and an astonishing amount of emotional investment in whether two adults can independently write down “McDonald’s.” Come for the Rush tickets.

   Number 2: DAILY PODCAST: Humpin' Like Rare Bits | The Rizzuto Comedy Show

   Things start surprisingly deep when Lern talks about listening to Rafe’s appearance on The HoneyDew, where he discussed difficult experiences from childhood and finding comedy in darker moments. He explains the idea of turning life’s lowlights into highlights, everybody agrees that nobody escapes childhood completely unscathed, and for one fleeting moment this sounds like a mature conversation between emotionally intelligent adults. Turns out King Scott likes his coffee like he likes his women... According to former Starbucks professionals, black-coffee drinkers might enjoy torturing themselves, caramel macchiato fans barely want coffee at all, vanilla-latte people play it safe, Frappuccino drinkers are basically ordering milkshakes, matcha people might be doing it for the aesthetic, and macchiato drinkers know exactly what they want—and apparently want the barista to know that they know. McDonald’s fries enter the conversation. So does the Wendy’s Frosty, Taco Bell’s spicy potato soft taco, the Frisco Melt, Lion’s Choice, Dairy Queen onion rings, Rally’s fries, Del Taco, Freddy’s and more. Nobody reaches a universal consensus because democracy has failed once again. Things somehow become less appetizing when the crew discovers a Walgreens three-in-one product described as a douche, enema and water-bottle combination system. There are some household products where “multipurpose” is a selling point. This may not be one of them. The show then gets into a study suggesting men have a complicated relationship with dieting, including the idea that some men may respond better to “goals” and “challenges” than the word “diet.” Rafe offers his own theory after seeing wildly confident dudes criticize women online while looking, in his words, like a thumb melting into a suit. Poetry remains alive in St. Louis. And because the current calendar apparently isn't irritating enough, Moon brings up a viral proposal to replace our 12 months with five beautiful 73-day monstrosities: Jebruary, Maple, Jaugust, Soctober and Nissember. Is a 73-day Jaugust horrifying? Absolutely. Are we intrigued by Soctober? Unfortunately, yes. Then Tupac conspiracy content leads into a survey asking whether Americans believe they could successfully fake their own deaths. Younger adults are more confident. Older adults have apparently lived long enough to understand that the IRS, prescription refills and bill collectors are undefeated. Du Quoin, Illinois is having a rough week, and this one hits close to home. Massive downtown fire in Du Quoin. Multiple businesses were destroyed, including Home Lumber Company, BJ's Garden Inn and other properties along the downtown business district. Making an already difficult situation even worse, the fire happened during the Du Quoin State Fair, one of the biggest economic weeks of the year for the small Southern Illinois community. From there, September 3rd's collection of completely necessary national holidays introduces National Welsh Rarebit Day, which briefly causes confusion over whether anyone is eating a rabbit. They're not. It's cheese. That discovery leads directly to Worcestershire sauce, pork-steak marinades and the shocking revelation that Rafe doesn't own a grill. After talking with Tim Virgin, she introduces a potential reality-dating concept called Rock Hard Island. The premise involves eligible bachelors from St. Louis rock radio, women applying to date them and enough trash-TV energy to immediately attract hypothetical sponsors. There isn't actually an island involved, but that's apparently a minor logistical concern. Even more alarming: sales is interested. Then Lern takes over for Crap on Celebrities with a packed entertainment rundown. There's a documentary about late Rush drummer Neil Peart featuring Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and fellow drummers including Stewart Copeland, Chad Smith and Danny Carey. Rush is also headed back to St. Louis, giving Moon another chance to see a band he thought he'd never get to experience after Peart's death. The crew runs through villains ranging from Cruella de Vil and Scar to Patrick Bateman, Magneto, John Doe and Dr. Evil, proving once again that this daily comedy show can turn almost any entertainment list into an argument. Finally, Moon breaks down which music genres are supposedly most popular in different states based on search trends, with pop leading the country, metal putting up an impressive fight and Sleep Token emerging as a heavily searched metal act. We ask one of the great questions of our time: why is everybody bringing their dog to the airport now? After seeing dogs everywhere at LAX—and hearing two cats meow their way through an entire flight—the crew falls directly into a pet-themed rabbit hole that somehow gets stranger from there. The crew admits to giving pets updates before leaving the house, whispering compliments to one dog so the other one doesn’t hear, telling cats “I love you,” debating which pet is secretly the favorite, asking dogs what they want to watch on TV, and generally treating animals like tiny roommates who contribute absolutely nothing financially. That sends the crew back to 1993’s The Three Musketeers, Tim Curry as Cardinal Richelieu, Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland, Chris O’Donnell, Oliver Platt, and the gloriously over-the-top “All for Love” combination of Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart, and Sting. This funny podcast briefly becomes a 1990s movie-and-music appreciation society nobody asked to join. Finally, a listener asks a dangerous question for people who have spent years working in radio: what song have you heard so many times that you never need to hear it again?

   Number 3: DAILY PODCAST: It Is NOT National Hot Dog Day | The Rizzuto Comedy Show

   The Rizzuto Show starts innocently enough with football picks and somehow ends up asking whether artificial intelligence will wipe out humanity — with stops along the way for NASCAR drivers, a $34 million brothel empire, terrible celebrity guesses, folding phones, wedding-band disasters and the very real possibility that Rizz could someday be killed by a meatball. So, pretty standard week around here. The Seahawks kick off a strategic scoring controversy as the crew tries to figure out how Devon fits into their competition against The Fast Lane. Does her score count? Does the other team need another player? Should they take the best five scores? Why did nobody figure this out before the season started? These are questions normally reserved for leagues with commissioners and bylaws. Instead, we have Rizz. Then Take Five takes over, as listeners try to match answers with Lern, Moon, Devon and Rizz for concert tickets. Lern survives the dreaded “NFL team with an animal mascot” category by landing on Jaguars with her fifth and final guess. Moon, meanwhile, is asked to name a Beatles song and confidently begins with “Let It Go,” briefly creating the greatest Beatles/Frozen crossover nobody requested. Moon then proceeds to tour the entire Adam Sandler filmography without finding Big Daddy and gets painfully close to Deep Purple by wandering around “deep blue something.” Devon temporarily forgets that famous people named Mike exist, while Rizz correctly identifies Frosted Flakes on his first try before losing the entire game because his caller named fictional supervillain Lex Luthor as a “famous bald person.” Technically correct. Emotionally devastating. Today's show somehow raises the stakes by presenting the crew with the investment opportunity of a lifetime: the Bunny Ranch legacy portfolio in Nevada for roughly $34 million. Suddenly Rizz and the gang are analyzing brothel real estate, acreage, branding, financials and whether the oldest profession might be recession-proof. Lern reminisces about HBO’s Cathouse, Moon wants to see the P&Ls, and everyone briefly becomes an investment expert in an industry where absolutely nobody should trust their advice. Then a Nebraska musician accused of taking deposits, double- and triple-booking events and sending multiple clients the same last-minute car-accident excuse gets Lern and Moon talking about the realities of working musicians and why ruining somebody’s wedding is generally considered poor customer service. Technology gets its turn when the crew debates an expensive foldable iPhone, whether anyone should ever buy the first generation of a new gadget, planned obsolescence and the eternal Apple-versus-Android battle. Rizz’s Meta glasses also spark the important distinction that not everyone wearing them is a creep…but apparently every creep might own a pair. There’s also Nirvana, Billy Joel, Soundgarden, streaming-password confusion and NASCAR drivers Jordan Anderson, Blaine Perkins and Jeb Burton joining the day’s lineup ahead of racing at World Wide Technology Raceway. Because why have one coherent theme when you can have seventeen? So far things have been far too normal. Lern nearly sleeps through three alarms, launching a full investigation into how everyone wakes up. Some people prefer peaceful gradual sounds. Rizz and Rafe apparently prefer alarms that simulate catastrophic submarine emergencies. Moon explains why using birds as an alarm eventually trained his brain to associate actual birds with going to work, which feels like an unnecessary punishment for both Moon and nature. From there, Rizz introduces the cheerful morning topic of whether AI could eventually pose an existential threat to humanity. The crew dives into warnings surrounding increasingly powerful artificial intelligence, self-improving systems, oversight, regulation, infrastructure and the difference between AI actively hating humans and simply not caring about us at all. Terminator gets mentioned, obviously, but the scarier discussion is whether something vastly more intelligent than humans could eventually treat us the way humans treat an anthill sitting where we want to build a highway. You know. Light morning entertainment. That leads naturally — somehow — into questions about death. Would you want to know the exact date you die? Would you want to know how? Who attends your funeral? What was your biggest missed opportunity? And most importantly: what happens if Rizz learns he dies by meatball? Suddenly every plate of spaghetti becomes a potential crime scene. A rogue meatball could come from anywhere. A restaurant. A waiter. Across the room. Knowing your fate doesn’t necessarily help when your fate is apparently covered in marinara. The crew also gets nostalgic over TV dinners, Hungry Man meals, Salisbury steak, dangerously hot desserts and the random corn kernel that somehow migrated into every compartment. The upcoming Cheesecake Factory leads to a discussion about its famously over-the-top decor, which then inspires an even better — and substantially worse — restaurant concept: Stepfather’s Pizza. Picture the divorced-dad dining experience perfected. Old televisions playing MAS*H, Cheers, Weather Channel and World War II documentaries. Dim lighting. Half-folded laundry. A smoke detector chirping somewhere in the distance. Finally, a restaurant where the atmosphere says, “Your mother will pick you up Sunday at six.” Across these three episodes, The Rizzuto Show delivers exactly what a comedy podcast should: sports arguments nobody prepared for, games nobody can successfully play, celebrity and music chaos, questionable investment opportunities, technology nobody needs, existential dread nobody requested and enough bizarre hypotheticals to make you reconsider answering questions around these people. Come for the Seahawks, NASCAR and celebrity news. Stay for Moon rewriting Beatles history, Rizz shopping for brothels, Lern fighting her alarm clock, Devon forgetting every Mike on Earth, AI potentially destroying civilization and one meatball patiently waiting to fulfill its destiny.

   Number 4: DAILY PODCAST: There Is No Sheila Off Road Knobbin | The Rizzuto Comedy Show

   It’s the final day of August, Moon is somewhere in parts unknown, Lern is back, and The Rizzuto Show has officially entered King Scott's BABY WATCH. The baby is now past the due date, predictions are flying around the studio, and Rizz is keeping his ringer on because that phone call could come at any moment. Naturally, while waiting for the miracle of life, the crew spends a significant amount of time celebrating another miracle: Rafe Williams finally has legal license plates. Yes, Rafe went to the DMV. Voluntarily. Sort of. What should have been a routine trip to get his truck squared away became a full-blown battle with Missouri bureaucracy. There’s a packed Creve Coeur DMV, a confusing sign-in system, expired temp tags, paperwork, an emissions-test surprise and a ticking clock. At one point Rafe has until 4:30 to get an emissions test completed or face the horrifying possibility of coming back Monday and waiting all over again. That’s when a listener at the auto shop recognizes him, gets the Tacoma squeezed in, and sends our hero racing back to the DMV with paperwork held high like he just returned from the Crusades. By the end, Rafe is trying to get the entire waiting room to cheer for the woman who helped him. This is the kind of inspirational story your favorite comedy podcast provides because apparently our standards for heroism have become “successfully registering a motor vehicle.” The DMV adventure also sends the crew into everything from old people trying to navigate touchscreen kiosks to modern cars putting every basic function behind another touchscreen. We have reached the future, and the future apparently requires three menus just to turn down the air conditioning. Then Lern returns from Colorado with stories involving the Grizzly Rose, mechanical bulls, mountain towns, wineries, peaches, e-bikes and some legitimately terrifying drives through the Rockies. Her relaxing family getaway somehow includes bull riding and flying around mountain roads, because nobody associated with this show is capable of having a normal vacation. Rizz has his own driving adventure after the intro to “Money for Nothing” hits at exactly the wrong—or right—time and suddenly he’s doing 80 with a police officer behind him. Is getting completely lost in a song a valid speeding defense? Legally, probably don't take our advice. Spiritually? Absolutely. The weekend recaps keep rolling as Rizz gets his first full Friday Night Lights experience watching his daughter cheer at Lafayette, then attends a 40th birthday party extravagant enough to make everyone reconsider their current tax bracket. Meanwhile, Rafe survives Jamie Rivers’ bachelor party, gets his first real taste of the Cafe Napoli scene and discovers that former professional hockey players apparently possess a completely different transmission when it comes to staying out late. Rizz has a problem. For years, he thought sending someone a 👍 meant something along the lines of “sounds good,” “got it” or “cool.” Welcome to another episode of The Rizzuto Show, where daily comedy begins with Rizz discovering that the thumbs-up emoji has evolved into something cold, dismissive and potentially passive-aggressive. Lern and Rafe attempt to explain that context matters and that, depending on who sends it, a simple thumbs-up can basically be the texting equivalent of “K.” From there, things somehow get worse when Sexy Time Fun Facts introduces us to “pheromone maxing.” What is pheromone maxing? Imagine somebody hearing that humans may be attracted to natural scent and deciding the logical next step is to stop showering and quit using deodorant before a date. According to the trend discussed on the show, some guys are even wearing unwashed clothes in an attempt to amplify their natural musk. The theory is that maximizing your natural scent will make you “biologically irresistible.” Lern has an alternative dating strategy: shower. Rafe also points out that if somebody is naturally attracted to your scent, your pheromones can probably survive a light application of deodorant. Cushioning is when someone in a committed relationship keeps another potential romantic partner hanging around in the background. They’re not necessarily dating the backup person, but they maintain enough flirty texts, DMs, casual communication or coffee meetups to keep that option warm just in case the current relationship explodes. Basically, romance now apparently requires a depth chart. The crew gets into back burners, rosters, dating multiple people and the difference between casually seeing different people while single versus keeping someone emotionally invested while you're already committed. Rafe compares the backup attention to a little dopamine hit sitting in your pocket whenever you need some validation. After spending countless hours watching couples navigate one of the happiest—and most stressful—days of their lives, veteran wedding photographers say certain behaviors can become giant relationship red flags. One is heavy drinking to cope rather than celebrate. Another is body language, including whether someone's feet consistently point away from their new spouse in photographs. Suddenly Lern is pulling up her own wedding pictures to investigate where Tim's feet were pointing. Other warning signs include an underwhelming first-look reaction, dismissive comments about a partner's appearance, a lack of affection, eye-rolling during photos and someone who seems significantly happier around their friends than around the person they literally just married. And while we're already destroying everybody's confidence in modern romance, Rafe brings the conversation back to social media and the illusion of unlimited options. When your phone constantly suggests that another person, another relationship and another opportunity are one swipe away, how much harder does it become to appreciate the person who's actually standing in front of you? Because this episode also manages to include coconut oil deodorant experiments, back-burner spreadsheets, a collectible Tommy Wiseau wooden spoon, Lern accidentally making it sound like her wedding photographers died when they actually just moved to California, and a tease involving a robot vacuum allegedly catching a wife cheating.

   Number 5: DAILY PODCAST: Taking the Tim Bridge to Burn Town | The Rizzuto Comedy Show

   King Scott has a new baby, Rizz has ten stitches in his face, AC/DC has basically taken over St. Louis, and somewhere along the way a guy gets duct-taped to an airplane seat. So yeah, pretty normal day around here. The show kicks off with some genuinely great news: King Scott and Allison welcomed their new baby girl! Naturally, instead of simply congratulating the happy family like emotionally mature adults, the crew immediately starts calculating who won the baby pool. Date, time, weight—we’re crunching numbers like ESPN analysts covering the birth of an eight-pound free agent. Rizz is also back after Mohs surgery to remove basal cell carcinoma from underneath his eye, and the procedure was a little more involved than expected. Multiple rounds of cutting, repeated needles directly into an extremely sensitive part of his face, ten stitches and enough swelling to make his return to work look like the aftermath of an underground fight club. He also addresses the listener who thought he was taking too many days off, because apparently “having cancer cut out of my face” still requires a note for some people. Then St. Louis enters the chat. Rizz tells the bizarre story of his family’s car disappearing during the Gateway Cup, only to discover it hadn’t been stolen or impounded—it had simply been relocated several blocks away. We also get into local restaurant closings, the Heavy Anchor getting hit by a car, community support for the venue and a Bevo-area street takeover involving a stolen vehicle and fire. STL really knows how to make a holiday weekend relaxing. Things get unexpectedly wholesome when Lern reveals her birthday surprise for Mono Tim: she actually had a bridge named after him. A real bridge. With a plaque. Tim was blown away, everyone gets emotional for approximately eleven seconds, and then Rafe starts discussing whether the property would be an appropriate location to give his Jeep a Viking funeral. That is basically the emotional range of this comedy podcast. Meanwhile, AC/DC fever has completely taken over St. Louis. The AC/DC pop-up at Ballpark Village is packed, Foo Fighters are opening at the Dome and Lern is convinced Dave Grohl might come back out to perform with AC/DC because she had a dream about it. We’re not saying dreams are a reliable source, but they’re at least cheaper than concert tickets. The concert conversation spirals into some absolutely insane ticket prices and the biggest single-night concert grosses ever, before the show discovers another kind of travel nightmare: an unruly airline passenger who reportedly became so disruptive that fellow passengers restrained him with zip ties and enough duct tape to qualify as home improvement contractors. That leads into a much darker airline story involving longtime Wheel of Fortune announcer Jim Thornton and disturbing online messages another passenger allegedly spotted on his laptop. The crew debates whether they’d ever notice what somebody else was doing on a plane, how much privacy anyone really has anymore and whether the person looking over your shoulder is being nosy—or potentially stopping something much worse. A disturbing local story involving a St. Charles-area middle school assistant principal charged with possession of child sexual abuse material leads to a serious conversation about predators, technology, accountability and protecting kids. It also brings back the crew’s wildly unofficial “Pedophile Island” proposal, which remains less of a criminal justice policy and more of a reason nobody should ever invite us to testify before Congress. And speaking of privacy, smartphones may be destroying your relationship—or maybe you’re just acting incredibly shady with one. The crew runs through suspicious phone habits like suddenly changing passwords, flipping your screen face-down, angling it away from your partner and guarding the thing like it contains nuclear launch codes. Lern even admits she recently looked suspicious around Tim while secretly planning his bridge surprise, proving there is technically one wholesome explanation for acting like you’re hiding an affair. Sexy Time Fun Facts somehow makes things even weirder with the tragic story of an influencer who died following a cosmetic penile enhancement procedure overseas. That launches a conversation about risky cosmetic procedures, enormous implants spotted in the wild, an alleged big-butt shortage and whether everybody should just start doing squats and leave well enough alone. Crap on Celebrity piles on with Beyoncé selling some wildly expensive anniversary merchandise, Kelly Osbourne opening up about grief after losing Ozzy, Sammy Hagar and Alex Van Halen continuing their senior-citizen rock feud, Soundgarden working with unreleased Chris Cornell vocals, and Moon remembering Every Time I Die guitarist and wrestler Andy Williams after his death. There’s also the Michael Jackson biopic, Pamela Anderson, Nathan Fielder staring into the Elizabeth Holmes abyss, Rob Lowe’s Tom Cruise rivalry, James Bond rumors and plenty more celebrity news before football season brings back another proud Rizzuto Show tradition: making the loser suffer. The Pick ’Em Challenge punishment wheel is back, with potential consequences including working barefoot, cat food or anchovies stinking up your car, oven mitts during the show and other ideas created by adults who technically remain employed. A new baby. Skin cancer surgery. A missing car. Mono Tim’s bridge. AC/DC and Foo Fighters. Airplane duct tape. Phone paranoia. Questionable cosmetic decisions. Celebrity chaos and football punishments nobody asked for. It’s another perfectly organized comedy podcast from The Rizzuto Show, assuming your definition of “organized” is four people opening microphones and seeing which emergency happens first. Come for the St. Louis stories, entertainment gossip and daily humor. Stay because somehow this comedy podcast can go from the miracle of childbirth to cat food under somebody’s car seat without anybody thinking that transition is strange.
