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? In other words, another perfectly normal episode of daily comedy from The Rizzuto Show. Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily 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.

Today’s episode begins exactly where every respectable radio program should: debating canned chili and whether The Rizzuto Show should abandon broadcasting altogether to open a chili parlor. Because apparently decades of radio experience were merely preparation for serving questionable bowls of meat during a St. Louis summer. The crew gets into a disturbing local story involving two kittens rescued after being thrown from a moving vehicle, which launches a conversation about animal cruelty, punishment, and why there have been so many bizarre animal-abuse cases around the St. Louis area. Thankfully, the kittens are recovering, because this show has enough emotional damage without adding more. Then we head to the amusement park formerly known as Six Flags, talk about its new Mid America Adventure identity, and immediately start remembering the various roller coasters that have spent decades attempting to rearrange our internal organs. That leads us to California's X2 coaster and reports of riders suffering terrifying medical emergencies. Naturally, half the room hears “brain hemorrhage” and responds like someone just announced a new thrill ride they absolutely have to try. Rafe also gives us an update from the dating world, including his Texas connection and the increasingly complicated rules surrounding modern romance. That turns into the question every hopeless romantic eventually has to answer: is a grand gesture thoughtful… or are you about three seconds away from appearing in somebody’s “THIS GUY IS A CREEP” TikTok? A guy goes on two dates with a woman, finds her address without asking, and sends her Mother's Day flowers supposedly from her dog. Sweet? Creepy? Thirsty? The Rizz Show Supreme Court is now in session, and absolutely nobody involved has passed the bar. Apparently this question is complicated enough to involve law enforcement, surveillance footage, social media, and an actual public search for the guy who picked up the cash. Suddenly our daily comedy podcast has become CSI: Walmart, where the suspect is armed with three ten-dollar bills and an extremely debatable interpretation of “finders keepers.” We also get into air-travel nightmares after a pilot suffers a medical emergency during a flight and still manages to help get the plane safely on the ground. Meanwhile, Moon is preparing to fly, which is exactly the kind of story you want to hear immediately before heading to an airport. The episode’s namesake saga involves Yolanda Jackson, a drive-through order, a dangerously hot pot pie, severe burns, permanent scarring, and the resulting courtroom battle. Nothing says daily comedy quite like discovering your food apparently requires protective equipment. It's another episode filled with St. Louis stories, weird news, dating disasters, food catastrophes, questionable financial ethics, amusement-park trauma, and the kind of conversations that start somewhere reasonable before wandering directly into the woods. Dust off that giant binder of scratched CDs you definitely didn’t throw away because apparently funny podcast history has come full circle: physical media is making a comeback. The show kicks off with the surprising resurgence of CDs, with sales jumping while vinyl growth slows down. Why? Turns out paying nearly $40 for a new record eventually makes people reconsider the humble compact disc. Gen Z is getting into CDs, independent record stores are stocking more of them, older cars still have CD players, and there’s something comforting about owning music that can’t suddenly disappear from a streaming service. Moon also realizes those boxes of old band CDs might not be useless relics after all. Congratulations to everyone who refused to clean out their basement. Your moment has arrived. Then Crap on Celebrities takes us directly into the wildly expensive world of Hollywood memorabilia. A screen-matched mosquito-in-amber prop from the original Jurassic Park sells for more than $400,000, while Christopher Reeve’s Superman gear and John Travolta’s famous Saturday Night Fever suit also bring ridiculous money at auction. The crew also gets into entertainment news, including the changing timeline between theatrical releases and streaming, Toy Story 5, a live-action Scooby-Doo prequel, and Ghost taking a hiatus after Tobias Forge admits he doesn’t currently have a clear vision for the band’s next album. We salute a man willing to say, “I don’t know what the next thing is yet,” instead of releasing twelve remixes and a commemorative popcorn bucket. Then there’s Grand Theft Auto. The latest massive GTA preview sends the room into gamer mode as the crew talks about the gigantic map, Jason and Lucia’s evolving relationship, smarter cops, surveillance cameras, changing disguises, massive police chases and an enormous story that could consume roughly 80 hours of your life. Chris Novoselic. Danny Carey. Mick Fleetwood. Buckethead. Joey Ramone. Billy Corgan. Angus Young. Prince. Glenn Danzig. Stevie Nicks. The measurements are flying, everyone suddenly seems either seven feet tall or legally eligible for a booster seat, and we discover once again that stage presence apparently adds about eight inches. Carefully constructed journeys through comedy, culture, and the human condition. This one starts with an eagle call, gets yelled at by an offended listener, drinks imaginary Malört, sends Riz back to college, remembers the horrors of Rotten.com, and eventually makes everybody emotional over Dolly Parton. So… basically the same thing. The Rizzuto Show kicks off with Team JB and the Zero Prostate Cancer Run and Walk in memory of our buddy Jeff Burton, plus Greek Fire getting ready for a show benefiting Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital. Then we get into one of radio’s oldest traditions: somebody getting mad enough at the show to contact the bosses. This time, a listener wasn’t thrilled about the proximity of the Porno Birthday to a children’s charity announcement. Riz got the dreaded “Can I see you before you leave?” message, and suddenly we’re debating whether everybody is too easily offended, whether people need to watch what they say, and whether society could possibly locate that mythical middle ground where empathy and a sense of humor coexist. Rafe brings the comedian’s perspective to the argument, including the audience member who loves 99 jokes but desperately needs to inform you about the one they didn’t like. Our solution remains remarkably simple: maybe leave that joke at the club and take the other ones home. We discover that Malört has somehow created an entire identity around tasting terrible. Most companies try to convince customers their product is delicious. Malört basically dares you to survive it. The gang dives into its hilariously hostile marketing, its reputation as Chicago’s favorite way to punish a friend, and the important question nobody has apparently answered: Is anyone ordering this stuff because they actually enjoy it? From there, we say farewell to Sam Rizzuto’s dream of college independence after Riz tours the University of Arkansas and realizes he might want the full college experience himself. Suddenly we’re imagining a Back to School scenario where father and son become Razorbacks together, share a dorm, take Intro to Communications, and graduate in the same class. Nothing weird about that whatsoever, Sam. Your new roommate just happens to be Dad. The real RIPs begin with tributes to Peter Cullen and Tim Curry, celebrating two remarkable careers and the voices, characters, movies, and performances they left behind. Finally, Rafe delivers a deeply personal tribute to Dolly Parton. It’s funny, sincere, personal, and probably more emotionally responsible than anything surrounding the previous discussion of Malört.

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.

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.
