The Rizzuto Show | Daily Comedy Podcast

Nothing says “credible music journalism” quite like blindly ranking ten legendary rock bands without knowing which one is coming next. Welcome to another comedy podcast from The Rizzuto Show, where Queen gets the throne, Metallica becomes the baseline for civilization, and somehow The Beatles end up staring directly at KISS’s backside.
We kick things off with a blind ranking of some of the biggest rock bands ever: Metallica, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Nirvana, Guns N’ Roses, Pink Floyd, Queen, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles and KISS. The rules are simple: once you place a band, you’re stuck with it. Naturally, this creates an absolutely flawless list that no music fan could possibly have an issue with.
Just kidding. It’s a disaster.
Metallica lands at number five and becomes the dividing line for the entire exercise. The Rolling Stones climb toward the top, AC/DC gets placed too low and immediately causes regret, Queen claims number one, and then The Beatles arrive after almost all the good spots have disappeared. The result? The Beatles finish DEAD LAST behind KISS.
Music historians, please direct your complaints somewhere else. We have enough going on.
That leads to a bigger Beatles debate as Rafe argues that the band deserves enormous credit for what they changed, but that doesn’t mean everybody has to automatically put them at number one. Moon attempts to defend civilization. Lern reveals she does not suffer from “Beatle boner mania.” Somehow Michael McDonald becomes the secret fifth Beatle. This is why nobody lets us curate the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Speaking of legendary musicians, the crew gets into the backlash surrounding a George Michael tribute featuring performers including Teddy Swims and Sombr. Some viewers were furious with the choices, while the show tries to determine what exactly would have made everybody happy. Adam Lambert gets some love, Andrew Ridgeley’s name is miraculously remembered, and Riz discovers his biggest problem with Sombr may simply be that somebody stole the “E” from his name.
Then Rafe’s birthday completely takes over the studio.
The crew surprises him with a brand-new grill for his new house, which immediately raises the question of whether they can fire it up inside the studio. For legal reasons and continued access to oxygen, the answer appears to be no.
But the grill is only the beginning. Rafe gets a personal birthday message from Rick of Rick’s Ace Hardware — whom Rafe immediately embraces as his new father — along with an Ace bucket loaded with homeowner supplies. It turns out Rafe’s previous love for the store traveled up the Ace Hardware corporate ladder and was even shared at a company convention. That’s right: Rafe somehow became an Ace Hardware influencer without even trying. Take that, every 22-year-old making sponsored TikToks.
There are also homemade deviled eggs, handmade coasters featuring Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and even Rafe’s own dog, plus the discovery that Rafe shares a birthday with Monica Bellucci. At this point the man has a grill, deviled eggs, a bucket and Monica Bellucci spiritually connected to him through a calendar. There’s nowhere left to go.
And because this comedy podcast refuses to stay in one lane, Crap on Celebrities brings even more chaos: Slipknot and Marilyn Manson tour backlash, a Linkin Park documentary, Taylor Swift’s former Beverly Hills home hitting the market, Diddy prison reports, Raven-Symoné revealing an extremely specific period routine, a Rick Wakeman concert for rescued bears, a heavy Matthew Perry documentary, and wildly divided reactions to a new Tom Cruise movie.
There’s rock history, birthday surprises, celebrity news, angry music fans and enough hardware-store enthusiasm to make a suburban dad shed a single tear into his freshly cut lawn.
Happy birthday, Rafe. Here’s a grill.

It’s Rafe’s birthday, which means the responsible thing to do is celebrate his life by immediately spiraling into invasive fish, medical nightmares, self-driving cars and frozen-food conspiracies. Welcome to another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show, where staying on topic remains more of a suggestion than an actual policy.
We start by celebrating the birthday boy and figuring out what was happening in the world when Rafe arrived in 1978. Apparently being born on a certain day of the week says something about your personality, which gives Lern the opportunity to bring astrology into the workplace while everyone else discovers exactly how many days they’ve been alive. Nothing makes a birthday more festive than confronting the relentless passage of time.
Then the crew gets nostalgic over regional soda, including Ski, Like Cola, Jolt and the beverages that somehow survived our childhoods despite looking like they were designed in a laboratory behind a gas station. Ski is expanding farther south, which leads to the important debate: is it actually better than Mountain Dew, or does regional loyalty make everything taste 40% better?
Things get considerably more terrifying when Missouri wildlife officials warn anglers about the northern snakehead, an invasive predator that can breathe atmospheric air and survive outside the water. If you catch one, officials want it killed and reported — because apparently we’ve reached the stage of civilization where the fish can leave the lake. Cool. Great. No concerns there.
Then we enter the brave new world of autonomous driving after watching a driver argue with police that his Tesla was technically the one speeding. Unfortunately for him, “the car did it” does not appear to be the legal defense of the century. The crew debates who should actually be responsible when a self-driving vehicle breaks the rules, why everyone suddenly wants to speak to a supervisor, and how close we are to the only autonomous-car feature anybody really wants: getting in, falling asleep and waking up at the destination.
Our funny podcast then takes a horrifying turn with a medical malpractice story involving a woman who reportedly went into surgery to have her cancerous right leg amputated — only for the surgical team to remove the healthy left leg instead. Because the cancer still had to be addressed, she ultimately lost both. The crew tries to comprehend how an error that catastrophic could happen despite surgical safety checks and then tackles the impossible question: how much money could possibly compensate someone for a mistake that changes the rest of their life?
On a considerably lighter note, men apparently needed Pilates rebranded before we could participate, so welcome to the age of “Bro-lates.” Rafe wants in, Riz questions whether guys should invade the Pilates studio, and Lern explains exactly what happens on a Reformer until every man listening quietly decides maybe stretching at home is fine.
We also rank states by natural-disaster misery before arriving at one of the greatest mysteries facing modern America: what happened to the Hot Pocket crisping sleeve?
A viral video claims inflation has gotten so bad that Hot Pockets “don’t even come with the pocket anymore.” There’s just one problem: the pocket is the food. The missing piece is the old microwave crisping sleeve, which was apparently retired years ago while basically nobody noticed. This launches a full investigation into the magical cardboard contraption that somehow made molten pizza lava crispy while leaving the center approximately the temperature of an Antarctic research station.
Birthday history, dangerous fish, Tesla courtroom strategies, catastrophic human error, Bro-lates and missing microwave technology — Episode 182 is exactly the kind of daily chaos you expect from The Rizzuto Show.
It’s a funny podcast. Nobody promised it would make you smarter.

Just when you think humanity might be turning things around, somebody takes their pants off on an airplane and an Amazon delivery driver allegedly pees on a customer’s shoes. Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show.
We kick things off with some old-school nostalgia as Otis Nixon baseball cards and Garbage Pail Kids emerge from the junk drawer, which naturally turns into prank ideas, teenage house parties and stories about the first time the crew encountered the cops. Then we head to the friendly skies, where another passenger is accused of getting extremely inappropriate during a flight. At this point, maybe Spirit isn’t the problem. Maybe it’s all of us.
Things somehow get worse on the ground when an Amazon driver is caught on camera allegedly using a New York apartment hallway as his personal restroom — including furniture and a resident’s shoes. Amazon reportedly offers a $50 gift card, and the crew debates the appropriate compensation for having your footwear turned into a urinal. Spoiler: fifty bucks ain’t cutting it.
We also dive into a viral GoFundMe that raised roughly $745,000 for an 81-year-old man working to help cover expenses while his wife battled cancer. Beautiful story… until the “concerned neighbor” who created the fundraiser turned out to actually be the couple’s daughter using a fake identity. The money gets refunded, and we debate whether lying about who you are ruins a cause when the underlying hardship is reportedly real.
Then Moon attempts to destroy Back to the Future Part II by pointing out a time-travel paradox involving old Biff and the sports almanac. Riz counters with the airtight scientific explanation of “wormholes,” so consider that case closed. Plus, the forgotten Back to the Future cartoon, Pat Smear smoking at the VMAs, celebrity chaos and the realization that apparently even rock stars smoking cigarettes can become an internet controversy.
And finally, we test one of humanity’s most important skills with Gay Bar or Steakhouse? Callers must decide what kind of establishment they’re dealing with based entirely on names like Wildfire, Bourbon and Bones, Tuckaway Tavern and the Iron Bear. Moon becomes a lifeline using geography, vibes and an alarming amount of confidence.
Pants-off flights, GoFundMe drama, time-travel arguments, pee-soaked shoes, teenage cop stories and businesses nobody can properly identify — just another completely normal episode of The Rizzuto Show.

Amazon Prime promises fast delivery, convenient shopping and apparently, under very specific circumstances, complimentary urination.

Today’s funny podcast starts with a New York City Amazon delivery nightmare caught on camera. A driver enters an apartment building, delivers the package and then allegedly decides the hallway is his personal restroom — peeing on furniture, the floor and, most importantly, a resident’s shoes.
That immediately raises several questions. Why would anyone do this when cameras are basically everywhere? Should you be leaving your shoes outside your apartment in the first place? And exactly how much compensation should you receive when somebody turns your New Balances into a bathroom?
Amazon reportedly offered the resident a $50 gift card. He declined. The crew thinks we may need to add another zero.
The conversation naturally turns into Moon defending the idea that shoes left in a hallway are basically asking for trouble, Riz defending humanity’s ancient tradition of leaving shoes outside, and everybody wondering what amount of money would actually make this situation right. There’s also discussion of delivery drivers in New York, the absolute chaos of driving through the city and why everybody cutting everybody else off somehow makes perfect sense.
We also revisit Moon’s ongoing problem with Reacher: he cannot stop watching the way Alan Ritchson walks. Once you see it, apparently there is no going back.
Then this funny podcast becomes a game show with one simple question: Gay Bar or Steakhouse?
Lern gives callers names of real establishments from around the country, and they have to decide whether they’re looking at a place serving steaks or cocktails. Wildfire. The Albany Beehive. The Corner Pocket. Bourbon and Bones. Tuckaway Tavern. The Iron Bear. The Avenue.
Easy, right?
Absolutely not.
Moon becomes the unofficial expert, using geography, questionable stereotypes, vibes and whatever other evidence he can manufacture to guide callers toward victory. Sometimes his logic is disturbingly effective. Other times, somebody is going home because apparently “Wildfire” does not mean what you think it means.
Throw in WWE tickets, A Perfect Circle, Rise Against and Turnstile giveaways, arguments about New York, random Pittsburgh hostility and enough wildly overconfident reasoning to qualify us for several jobs we absolutely should not have, and you've got another completely normal morning with The Rizzuto Show.
Amazon deliveries, contaminated shoes and trying to determine what exactly goes on inside a place called the Iron Bear — this funny podcast continues to provide the public service journalism nobody requested.

Nothing ruins a beautiful internet story quite like finding out the “concerned neighbor” telling it was actually the guy’s daughter wearing a fake identity like a cheap pair of Groucho glasses.
Today’s comedy podcast kicks off with the wild story of an 81-year-old Texas luggage driver who was reportedly working grueling hours while his wife battled cancer. The internet rallied around him, a GoFundMe exploded to roughly $745,000…and then the whole thing got shut down and refunded after GoFundMe discovered the woman claiming to be a caring local neighbor was actually the couple’s daughter.
Cool. Cool cool cool.
The underlying family hardship was reportedly real, but the fake identity wasn’t — which launches Riz, Lern and Moon into the bigger question: does one giant internet lie destroy an otherwise legitimate cause? We also get into the sketchier side of online fundraising, how scammers can target vulnerable people, why the show tries to vet fundraisers before sharing them, and the very important distinction between “I genuinely need help” and “Hey guys, can the entire city buy me some tires?”
From there, we do what any responsible morning show would do and immediately start arguing about Back to the Future.
The trilogy has somehow survived decades without Hollywood rebooting it into seventeen streaming series, three prequels and a gritty Doc Brown origin story. But Moon has a problem with Back to the Future Part II: old Biff, the sports almanac and an alternate-timeline paradox that he believes breaks the movie’s own rules.
Riz responds with the scientific precision of a Nobel laureate: wormholes.
Case closed.
We also discover — or rediscover — the largely forgotten Back to the Future animated series, where Marty McFly gets shoved aside so Doc Brown’s kids Jules and Verne can carry a Saturday morning cartoon. Because apparently somebody looked at one of the most beloved movie trilogies ever made and said, “Yeah, but what if we focused on the kids?”
Then Pat Smear commits the shocking act of…smoking a cigarette.
At a rock awards show.
The horror.
After Pat lights up onstage during the Nirvana Video Vanguard Award segment at the VMAs, people online apparently have feelings about it. The crew has feelings about people having feelings about it. Along the way we learn Pat Smear’s real name, admire his ability to still look cool at 67 and conclude that a guy who played in the Germs, Nirvana and Foo Fighters probably isn’t sitting backstage wondering whether Twitter approves of his decisions.
This comedy podcast also takes a trip back through September 29th in history, including the debut of MacGyver, the Breaking Bad finale and one absolutely ridiculous day in 1992 when Alice in Chains released Dirt and Stone Temple Pilots released Core. Kids, there used to be a thing called “albums,” and apparently we were spoiled rotten.
Then Lern brings the Crap on Celebrities.
Rod Stewart announces a final rock tour, Oasis heads to streaming with a reunion documentary, John Mayer prepares a multi-format Sphere residency, Miley Cyrus lands back atop the charts, and we briefly discover how aggravating band names become when nobody knows how the hell they’re supposed to be pronounced.
Nick Cannon is also bringing cameras into the circus that is raising 12 children with six different women, which naturally leaves everyone wondering when this man sleeps considering he also appears to have approximately 46 jobs.
Plus, Tom Cruise randomly makes one worker’s day, we remember Saved by the Bell’s Mr. Belding, debate some supposedly overrated movies, celebrate celebrity birthdays and once again prove that nostalgia is basically the gasoline keeping this entire show running.
It’s scams, movies, rock stars, celebrities, questionable logic and grown adults arguing about fictional time-travel mechanics.
In other words, another perfectly normal comedy podcast from The Rizzuto Show.
