The Rizzuto Show | Daily Comedy Podcast

Rizz needs new floors, a flying tire nearly takes somebody out, Telly Monster is allegedly running Sesame Street, and the crew is about to risk their dignity—and their backsides—over a dog breed technicality. Just another completely normal day on The Rizzuto Show.
Rizzuto, Moon Valjean, Lern, Rafe Williams, and King Scott are back with another episode of St. Louis morning radio chaos, celebrity gossip, weird news, ridiculous competitions, and the kind of conversations that make comedy podcasts essential listening for people who enjoy watching other people make terrible decisions.
And today, there are plenty to go around.
We've got expensive home repairs, dangerous vending machines, donut dreams, cooking debates, redhead genetics, celebrity news, and a game of Do It, Bitch! that somehow turns pasta, St. Louis geography, and dog breeds into highly controversial subjects.
It's the daily comedy show that proves you can cover absolutely everything without accomplishing anything remotely productive.
Rizz's House Is Falling Apart, and His Jeep Isn't Helping

First, Rizz is having a spectacularly expensive week.
A contractor has informed him that the buckling floors in his house may require replacing approximately 1,800 square feet of flooring.
The cause?
Still a mystery.
The potential bill?
Let's just say Rizz isn't exactly thrilled about his unexpected opportunity to invest in home improvement.
Naturally, Lern thinks the renovation could be beautiful. Rafe wants shag carpeting and a sunken conversation pit. Moon remembers the questionable green carpet of his childhood.
And Rizz starts planning an entire 1970s-inspired makeover featuring avocado-colored appliances, wicker furniture, amber ashtrays, a kitchen phone with a ridiculously long cord, and plastic-covered couches.
Because when your house is already falling apart, why not make it look like a retired disco producer lives there?
The crew also tears into home design trends that have overstayed their welcome, including shiplap, subway tile, barn doors, microwave drawers, and the endless parade of gray interiors.
Somewhere, Joanna Gaines just felt a disturbance in the force.
And as if replacing an entire floor wasn't enough, Rizz also learns that his son's Jeep needs another $2,000 in repairs after developing the dreaded death wobble.
So the house is buckling, the Jeep is shaking, and Rizz is one unexpected expense away from installing shag carpet himself.
With a rake.
Flying Tires, Freak Accidents and Killer Vending Machines

To put his bad day into perspective, Rizz starts sharing videos and stories of people experiencing much worse luck.
Because nothing improves your mood quite like discovering how many ordinary objects can unexpectedly ruin your day.
The gang watches footage of a young woman in Santiago, Chile, getting struck by a wheel that comes flying off a passing vehicle.
An entire wheel.
Just casually launching itself into somebody else's afternoon.
That leads to a discussion of bizarre accidents involving falling windows, a cactus, an ill-fated invention, and other reminders that real life occasionally has the safety standards of a rejected Final Destination sequel.
Then the conversation turns to one of the most surprisingly dangerous objects in everyday life:
Vending machines.
Apparently, those giant metal cabinets full of chips, candy bars, and questionable snack decisions are not something you want falling on you.
Rizz suggests vending machine safety might become the show's next great public service mission.
Lern wants a full Discovery Channel Vending Machine Week.
Moon suspects the warnings might be part of a campaign to stop people from shaking free snacks loose.
And Rafe proposes an engineering breakthrough involving mechanical safety legs modeled after Rizz's own legs.
Hairy toes included.
If you're looking for comedy podcasts that can turn a discussion about vending machine accidents into a product pitch for tiny robotic Rizz legs, congratulations.
You've arrived.
Donut Dreams and Men Who Refuse to Make Dinner

Next, the gang celebrates National Donut Appreciation Day, which is apparently necessary because America hasn't dedicated nearly enough time to fried dough covered in sugar.
Rafe discovers a local donut shop called LB Donuts, and Lern reveals she'd love to own a donut shop someday.
She loves baking, she's already accustomed to getting up before the sun, and her family has a history in the bakery business.
Honestly, this might be the first career change discussed on the show that makes complete sense.
The crew reminisces about old-school family bakeries, bear claws, and the joy of walking into a donut shop where nobody is pretending the product needs a fancy name.
Then comes National Men Make Dinner Day.
Rizz loves cooking and handles plenty of meals at home.
Rafe enjoys cooking too, including recipes passed down through Stephanie's family.
Moon?
Moon doesn't hate cooking.
He just doesn't want to do it.
Apparently, spending time preparing dinner feels inefficient when there are so many other important things he could be doing.
Like explaining why he doesn't want to cook dinner.
Rafe also shares the story of buying a prepared meal at Whole Foods and spending enough money to make the crew wonder whether it came with a down payment.
It's domestic comedy, family stories, food arguments, and the kind of everyday nonsense that makes comedy podcasts feel like hanging out with your most ridiculous friends.
King Scott Is a Genetic Collector's Edition

It's also National Redhead Day, which means King Scott is finally getting the recognition he deserves.
Or at least the attention.
Those are two very different things on The Rizzuto Show.
Rizz dives into redhead trivia, including rare hair-and-eye-color combinations, genetics, sun sensitivity, and anesthesia.
Scott has red hair, blue-green eyes, and a collection of unusual traits that inspires the crew to treat him like a limited-edition action figure.
The conversation quickly becomes less about science and more about figuring out how many ways they can roast him before the next commercial break.
Rafe suggests Scott has somehow collected every recessive trait available.
Lern tries to be supportive.
Rizz points out that Scott has an impressive amount going on genetically.
And somehow, the conversation still ends with everybody making fun of him.
Happy National Redhead Day, buddy.
Telly Monster's Alleged Sesame Street Criminal Empire

Then the gang begins comparing themselves to Sesame Street and Muppet characters.
Harmless enough.
Until Rafe brings up Telly Monster.
You remember Telly.
The anxious-looking purple monster who was always worried about something.
Well, apparently the crew has decided that Telly's real problem is that he's secretly running the neighborhood.
In an entirely fictional, increasingly ridiculous version of Sesame Street, Telly becomes the mastermind behind a shady operation.
Big Bird is caught in the middle.
The Count is handling the numbers.
And Snuffleupagus looks like somebody who knows too much.
To be extremely clear, this is not an actual Sesame Street storyline.
It's just what happens when The Rizzuto Show gets hold of a beloved children's character and decides he belongs in a crime drama.
Somebody should probably warn PBS.
Today's episode is brought to you by the letters R, I, C and O.
Celebrity Gossip, Pearl Jam and a Very Expensive Vegas Residency

Once the crew escapes its imaginary Sesame Street crime syndicate, Lern delivers another round of Crap on Celebrities.
The gang discusses Pearl Jam's drummer situation following Matt Cameron's departure, 50 Cent's ongoing trolling of Diddy, and a Scorpions biopic called Wind of Change.
There's also talk of Crossroads, Ralph Macchio, Steve Vai, and the possibility of another guitar showdown.
Lern shares her enthusiasm for The Pitt, while the crew talks about True Detective, television nostalgia, Beverly Hills, 90210, and Channing Tatum's Gambit accent.
Moon also asks AI to match Game of Thrones locations with American cities.
New York gets King's Landing.
Chicago gets Winterfell.
Miami gets Dorne.
And St. Louis?
Storm's End.
Honestly, a city known for its toughness, loyalty, and ability to survive endless nonsense feels about right.
Then the gang dives into the enormous money generated by Las Vegas concert residencies, with Celine Dion, U2, the Eagles, Bruno Mars, Elton John, Dead & Company, and other major performers entering the conversation.
The numbers are outrageous.
The guesses are questionable.
And Rizz would like everyone to remember that when concert tickets cost a small fortune, the people selling them are probably doing just fine.
The episode also includes a genuinely great St. Louis community moment, with the crew celebrating more than $20,000 raised for Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital through the Halloween Weirdo fundraiser and generous local supporters.
Occasionally, these people accomplish something wonderful.
Then somebody mentions pasta, and the whole operation falls apart again.
Do It, Bitch! The Great Pasta, Geography and Dog Breed Disaster

It's time for another round of Do It, Bitch!, the Rizz Show competition where contestants bet on how many answers their teammates can name in 10 seconds.
Team Moon and Lern face off against Team King Scott and Rafe.
Listeners pick their sides.
The crew starts gambling.
And Rizz attempts to maintain order in a room full of people who consider arguing part of their job description.
First category:
Pasta shapes.
Lern absolutely crushes it, naming bow tie, macaroni, spaghetti, lasagna, gnocchi, pastina, and ravioli.
Seven answers.
One point.
And immediately, an argument about whether gnocchi is technically a pasta shape.
Because apparently even noodles require legal representation on this show.
Next comes St. Louis metro-area cities and towns.
Rafe bets that King Scott can name nine.
Scott starts strong with Chesterfield, Overland, St. Ann, Kirkwood, Creve Coeur, Maplewood, and Sunset Hills.
Then his brain short-circuits.
He says Chesterfield again.
The man lives in the St. Louis area and somehow runs out of St. Louis.
Scott insists he meant Clayton.
Unfortunately, thinking about Clayton doesn't count as saying Clayton.
The crew reviews the performance like they're analyzing a blown playoff game.
And Team King Scott and Rafe are suddenly in serious trouble.
Nine Dog Breeds, One Terrier and an Absolutely Ridiculous Argument

The final category is common dog breeds.
Rafe is challenged to name nine in 10 seconds.
He starts rattling them off.
Terrier.
Pit bull.
Mastiff.
Labrador.
Golden retriever.
Pug.
Puggle.
Chihuahua.
Boston terrier.
Rizz awards the point.
Victory!
Except Moon has a question.
Is "terrier" actually a specific breed, or is it a whole category of dogs?
And just like that, the game turns into a courtroom.
Lern starts researching dog classifications.
Moon argues that a broad category shouldn't count.
Rafe tries to defend the answer.
Rizz wants everybody to stop arguing before his blood pressure files a formal complaint.
Eventually, the crew acknowledges that terrier is a family of breeds rather than one specific breed.
The disputed point is reversed.
And Rafe has somehow managed to talk himself out of a win.
It's an extraordinary achievement.
Not a good one.
But extraordinary.
And because this game comes with painful consequences, the crew eventually brings out the punishment device.
There are yelps.
There are complaints.
There is immediate regret.
Rizz reminds everybody that he voluntarily agreed to host this disaster.
Moon insists that the integrity of the game must be protected.
Rafe still thinks his performance deserves more credit.
And Lern seems perfectly content to watch grown men suffer over a technicality involving a Boston terrier.
This is comedy podcasts at their most beautifully unnecessary: high stakes, low intelligence, and absolutely no chance of anybody leaving with their dignity intact.
One Day, Three Disasters, Zero Lessons Learned

So what have we learned?
Rizz's house might need an entirely new floor.
Jeep ownership is apparently an expensive contact sport.
Flying tires are terrifying.
Vending machines should never be challenged to a wrestling match.
Lern might someday own the happiest donut shop in St. Louis.
Moon still doesn't want to cook.
King Scott is genetically fascinating but geographically unreliable.
Telly Monster's imaginary legal team has a lot of work ahead of it.
And Rafe should probably avoid saying "terrier" in any competitive setting for the rest of his life.
From weird news and celebrity gossip to St. Louis humor, hilarious fails, daily entertainment, and a spectacularly chaotic trivia game, this funny podcast has everything you expect from The Rizzuto Show.
And several things nobody asked for.
If you love comedy podcasts that mix pop culture commentary, ridiculous arguments, relatable disasters, and a morning show crew that refuses to behave like responsible adults, hit play.
Just keep your tires attached, leave the vending machine alone, and remember:
The difference between winning and losing might be one very questionable dog breed.

Moonrise Hotel in Delmar Loop gets new ownership
Collins Dictionary Declares "Mogging" As Word Of The Year 2026; Here’s What It Means
See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ten seconds. Nine dog breeds. One questionable terrier. And a room full of grown adults ready to fight over the rules of a game they voluntarily agreed to play. Welcome to The Rizzuto Show, where trivia is dangerous, winning is temporary, and losing might actually hurt.
Rizzuto, Moon Valjean, Lern, Rafe Williams, and King Scott are back for another spectacularly unnecessary competition in Do It, Bitch!, the Rizz Show game that combines trivia, gambling, questionable strategy, and painful punishment into one beautiful workplace disaster.
It's Team Moon and Lern versus Team King Scott and Rafe, with listeners choosing sides and the crew betting on how many answers their teammates can rattle off in just 10 seconds.
Sounds simple.
It's not.
Because this is The Rizzuto Show, where a perfectly reasonable question about pasta can become a philosophical argument, naming your own hometown can trigger a complete mental shutdown, and identifying a dog breed apparently requires a legal degree.
If you're a fan of comedy podcasts filled with hilarious fails, sarcastic humor, trivia disasters, and coworkers arguing like siblings trapped in the back seat of a minivan, congratulations.
You've found your people.
Round One: The Great Pasta Shape Debate

The first category is types of pasta shapes.
Spaghetti. Macaroni. Rigatoni. Fettuccine. Linguine.
Easy enough, right?
Moon and King Scott start bidding on how many pasta varieties their teammates can name before the clock runs out.
And then Moon drops the magic words:
"Do it, bitch!"
Now Lern has 10 seconds to prove she knows her noodles.
She starts firing off answers like somebody who has spent her entire life preparing for this exact moment.
Bow tie.
Macaroni.
Spaghetti.
Lasagna.
Gnocchi.
Pastina.
Ravioli.
Boom.
Seven answers.
One point for Team Moon and Lern.
Except now everybody wants to argue about whether gnocchi actually counts as a pasta shape.
Rizz questions it because gnocchi is technically a dumpling. Moon insists it belongs in the pasta conversation. Lern isn't about to apologize for knowing what gnocchi is.
And Rafe has apparently never heard of pastina.
Suddenly, the entire studio is debating Italian food terminology like they're appearing before the Supreme Court of Carbohydrates.
The good news?
Lern named enough other pasta shapes to win the round anyway.
The bad news?
Nobody is ever going to agree on gnocchi.
This is exactly the kind of completely unnecessary argument that makes comedy podcasts so entertaining.
Round Two: King Scott Forgets St. Louis Exists

Next up: St. Louis metro-area cities and towns.
Rizz asks the gamblers how many municipalities their teammates can name in 10 seconds.
We're talking Chesterfield, Kirkwood, Clayton, Maplewood, Belleville, St. Charles, Edwardsville, and all the other places St. Louis residents insist are only 20 minutes away.
Rafe bets that King Scott can name nine.
Moon and Lern aren't convinced.
Especially because the difference between a city, a town, and a neighborhood is apparently much more complicated than anybody expected.
Does Tower Grove count?
Nope.
What about Maplewood?
Yes.
Shrewsbury?
Absolutely.
The crew debates the boundaries of the St. Louis metro area while Scott waits for his chance to shine.
And it's National Redhead Day.
Scott is a redhead.
This should be his moment.
Rafe gives him a motivational speech worthy of a championship locker room.
Scott starts strong.
Chesterfield.
Overland.
St. Ann.
Kirkwood.
Creve Coeur.
Maplewood.
Sunset Hills.
And then his brain decides it's had enough.
He repeats Chesterfield.
Twice.
He lives in the St. Louis area and somehow runs out of St. Louis.
Scott insists he meant to say Clayton.
Unfortunately, the game doesn't award points for the city you were thinking about.
Team King Scott and Rafe lose another round, and the studio immediately begins reviewing the performance like a football coach breaking down a disastrous fourth-quarter interception.
The man knew the answer.
His mouth simply refused to cooperate.
It's a classic Rizz Show brain freeze, delivered in front of the entire St. Louis listening audience.
Round Three: Dog Breeds, Technicalities and a Controversial Victory

Now things get serious.
The final category is common dog breeds.
Labrador retrievers.
German shepherds.
Golden retrievers.
Bulldogs.
Poodles.
Beagles.
Chihuahuas.
The crew agrees that recognized breeds and popular designer mixes count.
Generic answers like "mutt" do not.
Simple rules.
Surely nothing can go wrong.
Rafe gets challenged to name nine dog breeds in 10 seconds.
He starts firing.
Terrier.
Pit bull.
Mastiff.
Labrador.
Golden retriever.
Pug.
Puggle.
Chihuahua.
Boston terrier.
And just like that, Rizz awards the point.
Team King Scott and Rafe celebrate.
There's only one problem.
Is "terrier" actually a specific dog breed?
Moon doesn't think so.
Lern agrees.
Rafe named both terrier and Boston terrier, which raises the question of whether he essentially counted a broad category and one of its members as two separate answers.
And now the game has officially become a courtroom drama.
Rizz initially wants to let the result stand.
Moon wants the rules enforced.
Lern starts researching dog classifications.
Rafe tries to defend his answer.
And King Scott is probably wondering whether he should have stayed home.
The crew discovers that terrier is a broad family of dog breeds rather than one specific breed.
Which means Rafe's answer is a little more complicated than everybody hoped.
Rizz finally acknowledges the problem, apologizes to Moon, and reverses the disputed victory.
Rafe has officially talked himself out of winning.
That might be the most Rizz Show outcome imaginable.
When the Rules Hurt More Than Losing

Of course, Do It, Bitch! isn't just about answering trivia questions.
There are consequences.
And the crew has been staring down the possibility of getting blasted by the show's punishment device the entire time.
Rizz reminds everybody that he chose to play the game.
Moon insists that the integrity of the competition comes first.
Rafe argues that his performance was still impressive.
And Lern is perfectly happy to watch the chaos unfold.
The gang debates whether a technicality should cost somebody the round, whether the host is allowed to needle contestants, and whether Alex Trebek would have tolerated this level of nonsense.
Rizz claims Trebek talked plenty of trash.
They just didn't air it.
Eventually, the punishment device comes out, the crew braces for impact, and the studio fills with yelps, complaints, and the unmistakable sound of adults regretting their career choices.
Rafe discovers that his own arguments helped put him in the line of fire.
Rizz realizes that hosting the game doesn't protect him from the consequences.
And Moon seems suspiciously satisfied that the rules have been respected.
For a few glorious seconds, everybody agrees on something.
This game is terrible for their mental and physical health.
Naturally, they'll probably play it again.
Because learning from mistakes has never been this show's strongest skill.
The Most Competitive 22 Minutes in St. Louis Radio

From Lern dominating the pasta challenge to King Scott repeating Chesterfield under pressure and Rafe launching an entire dog breed classification controversy, this episode is a masterclass in how to turn a simple party game into an emotional emergency.
It's trivia, competition, St. Louis geography, food arguments, hilarious fails, and a whole lot of sarcastic humor from people who have absolutely no business taking a game this seriously.
But that's what makes The Rizzuto Show different.
Where else can you hear five adults debate whether gnocchi is pasta, whether terrier counts as a breed, and whether somebody deserves to be punished for a technicality?
If you're searching for comedy podcasts featuring funny stories, ridiculous competitions, local St. Louis humor, and the kind of daily entertainment that makes your morning commute fly by, this episode delivers.
This funny podcast is proof that you don't need complicated rules to create chaos.
You just need a stopwatch, a few questionable categories, and coworkers who refuse to admit they're wrong.
Hit play, test your own trivia skills, and see whether you can name nine dog breeds in 10 seconds.
Just remember:
If you say "terrier," you'd better be prepared to defend it in court.
And if Rizz asks whether you're ready to play Do It, Bitch!
Maybe ask what the punishment is first.

What starts with a perfectly innocent conversation about donuts somehow ends with Telly Monster running an imaginary drug empire on Sesame Street. And honestly, that's pretty much The Rizzuto Show in a nutshell.
Rizzuto, Moon Valjean, Lern, Rafe Williams, and King Scott are back with another episode of St. Louis morning radio chaos, weird news, celebrity gossip, ridiculous debates, and the kind of conversations that make comedy podcasts a terrible idea to listen to while drinking hot coffee.
Because one unexpected laugh and suddenly you're explaining a stain on your shirt to your boss.
First, the crew celebrates a huge win for the St. Louis community. Thanks to the generosity of Rizz Show listeners, local businesses, and the Halloween Weirdo fundraiser, more than $20,000 has been raised for Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital. The gang gives some well-deserved love to the sponsors, the listeners who stepped up, and everyone who helped make the fundraiser happen.
See? Occasionally, this show accomplishes something wonderful.
Don't get comfortable. It gets weird almost immediately.
Donut Dreams and a Very Expensive Dinner for One

It's National Donut Appreciation Day, which is apparently different from the other donut holiday, because America looked at fried dough covered in sugar and decided one celebration wasn't enough.
Rafe discovers a local donut shop called LB Donuts, and Lern reveals that she'd love to open her own bakery someday. She's already used to waking up at an unreasonable hour, loves baking, and comes from a family with bakery history.
She's practically qualified.
The gang reminisces about old-school family donut shops, bear claws, and the beautiful simplicity of walking into a business where the only thing on the sign is essentially DONUTS.
Honestly, we respect the branding.
Then comes National Men Make Dinner Day, and suddenly everybody has opinions about who should be standing over the stove.
Rizz loves cooking and proudly handles the kitchen duties at home. Rafe enjoys cooking too, especially with a treasured collection of handwritten family recipes passed down from Stephanie's grandmother.
Moon, meanwhile, isn't afraid of cooking.
He just doesn't want to do it.
Apparently, preparing food for your family takes valuable time away from the other important activities a grown man could be doing. Like thinking about how much time cooking takes.
Lern shares stories about her stepdad's home-cooked meals, the crew debates whether grilling or ordering takeout should count, and Rafe admits his latest dinner came from a Whole Foods trip that felt financially comparable to taking out a small loan.
Nothing says independent adult quite like buying a prepared meal for one and calling it a culinary achievement.
It's the domestic dysfunction and sarcastic humor that fans of comedy podcasts have come to expect from The Rizzuto Show.
King Scott's Redhead Superpowers

Next up, National Redhead Day.
Naturally, King Scott becomes the main attraction.
Rizz dives into redhead genetics, rare hair-and-eye-color combinations, sun sensitivity, vitamin D, anesthesia, and the possibility that Scott has somehow collected every unusual genetic trait available.
Red hair? Check.
Blue-green eyes? Check.
Left-handed? Apparently.
Webbed toes? Of course.
At this point, Scott isn't a radio producer. He's a limited-edition collectible.
The crew discusses whether Scott's daughter might inherit his red hair, how much anesthesia it takes to numb a redhead, and some questionable redhead trivia that immediately becomes an excuse to roast him.
Rizz even arrives with a list of supposed advantages of being a redhead.
Spoiler alert: they're mostly insults.
And because nobody on this show knows when to stop, a perfectly normal conversation about genetics turns into an argument about which Sesame Street characters everyone resembles.
Telly Monster: Sesame Street's Most Wanted

This is where the episode takes a spectacularly unnecessary turn.
The crew starts assigning everybody Sesame Street and Muppet equivalents. Lern gets compared to Abby Cadabby, Moon imagines himself as a forgetful-looking character, and Rafe identifies with Telly Monster.
Remember Telly?
The big purple-pink monster who always seemed a little worried?
Well, Rafe apparently remembers a completely different version.
In the gang's entirely fictional and increasingly unhinged retelling, Telly isn't just another friendly resident of Sesame Street.
He's the neighborhood's criminal mastermind.
Suddenly, Telly is supposedly moving contraband, intimidating Big Bird, running questionable side hustles, and turning an innocent children's television neighborhood into the setting of a gritty crime drama.
The Count is handling the money.
Snuffleupagus has allegedly seen some things.
And absolutely none of this is part of the real Sesame Street storyline, in case anyone at PBS is already drafting a strongly worded letter.
It's one of those moments when a funny podcast takes a harmless childhood memory, throws it directly into a dumpster, and sets the dumpster on fire.
Sorry, Telly. Your reputation never stood a chance.
Celebrity Chaos, Pearl Jam and a Game of Thrones Geography Lesson

Once the crew finally escapes Sesame Street's imaginary underworld, Lern delivers another edition of Crap on Celebrities.
Pearl Jam is still figuring out its drummer situation following Matt Cameron's departure, with the gang discussing whether the band needs a permanent member or can simply keep hiring world-class musicians.
50 Cent continues his relentless trolling of Diddy, because apparently some celebrity feuds don't need an ending. They need an entire subscription service.
The Scorpions are getting a biopic called Wind of Change, leading to jokes about the CIA, Doc McGhee, and whether the band can ever escape its most famous song.
There's also talk of a possible sequel to the guitar-driven cult classic Crossroads, complete with Ralph Macchio and Steve Vai potentially returning for another showdown.
Sweep the leg, Steve. Wrong movie, but we're going with it.
The gang discusses True Detective, The Pitt, and the legal dispute involving the medical drama's similarities to ER. Lern is completely hooked on The Pitt, while Rizz somehow still hasn't watched the first season of True Detective.
Meanwhile, Moon reveals that he asked AI to match locations from Game of Thrones with American cities.
King's Landing becomes New York City.
Winterfell becomes Chicago.
Dorne becomes Miami.
And St. Louis?
Storm's End.
Historic strength, stubborn loyalty, rough edges, and a city that used to carry a little more influence.
Honestly, that might be the most accurate description of St. Louis ever produced by a robot.
The crew also covers a new Beverly Hills, 90210 reunion project, Channing Tatum dialing back Gambit's Cajun accent, Hollywood's growing fascination with upper-eyelid surgery, and allegations involving Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion.
Nothing brings a morning show together quite like superhero accents, cosmetic procedures, and arguing about television shows nobody has finished watching.
How Much Money Does Celine Dion Need?

Finally, the gang dives into the staggering money behind major concert residencies.
Celine Dion's Vegas success leads to a guessing game involving the Eagles, U2, Bruno Mars, Elton John, Dead & Company, the Backstreet Boys, Garth Brooks, and Billy Joel.
The numbers are enormous.
The guesses are all over the place.
And Rizz would like everyone to remember that when concert tickets cost a fortune, it's not exactly shocking that the performers are making a fortune too.
Add in celebrity birthdays, music trivia, and the usual completely unnecessary detours, and you've got another episode of The Rizzuto Show that starts with donuts and ends with the crew discussing hundreds of millions of dollars in concert revenue.
Somewhere in the middle, Telly Monster became a crime boss.
We still don't know how that happened.
But that's why you listen.
If you're looking for comedy podcasts packed with funny stories, celebrity news, pop culture commentary, weird conversations, and St. Louis daily entertainment, this episode delivers all of it with absolutely no guarantee of responsible behavior.
Hit play, support your local donut shop, cook somebody dinner, and remember:
On Sesame Street, the letter of the day is allegedly RICO.

Rizz needs an entirely new floor, his son's Jeep is trying to shake itself apart, and somewhere in the world, a vending machine is waiting for somebody to make one very expensive snack decision.
Welcome to The Rizzuto Show, the St. Louis morning radio circus where home improvement becomes a financial emergency, everyday objects turn into potential death traps, and a perfectly normal Thursday somehow feels like a deleted scene from Final Destination.
Rizzuto, Moon Valjean, Lern, Rafe Williams, and King Scott are back with another round of weird news, hilarious fails, sarcastic humor, and the kind of conversations that make comedy podcasts worth listening to while you're supposed to be working.
First, Rizz is having a day.
Actually, he's having the kind of week that makes you look at your bank account and quietly ask whether the universe accepts payment plans.
A contractor has informed him that the buckling floors in his house may require replacing approximately 1,800 square feet of flooring. Nobody seems entirely sure what's causing the problem, but apparently the solution is to rip everything up and start over.
Fantastic.
Lern sees an opportunity for a beautiful home makeover. Rizz sees a financial disaster. And the rest of the crew sees a chance to transform his house into a spectacularly questionable 1970s bachelor pad.
We're talking shag carpeting, avocado-colored appliances, a sunken conversation pit, amber glass ashtrays, an old-fashioned kitchen phone with a mile-long cord, and possibly enough wicker furniture to make the entire house look like a retired magician lives there.
Honestly, the renovation might be worth it just to see Rizz use a carpet rake.
That launches a full-blown debate about home design trends that need to disappear, including shiplap, barn doors, endless gray walls, subway tile, microwave drawers, and the strange American tradition of covering perfectly good furniture in plastic.
If you grew up sitting on a couch that sounded like a bag of potato chips every time you moved, congratulations. Your childhood has officially been entered into evidence.
And just when Rizz thinks his home repair nightmare can't get worse, the dealership calls about his son's Jeep.
Another $2,000 repair.
The vehicle has developed the dreaded Jeep death wobble, which apparently means hitting a pothole at highway speed can turn your steering wheel into a carnival ride.
So now Rizz has a house that's buckling, a vehicle that's shaking, and a crew that is absolutely not going to let him be miserable in peace.
That's when he decides everybody needs a little perspective.
Unfortunately, his version of perspective involves watching videos of people narrowly escaping—or tragically failing to escape—some of the most bizarre accidents imaginable.
The gang watches footage of a young woman in Santiago, Chile, getting struck by a rogue wheel that comes flying off a passing vehicle.
Yes, an entire wheel.
Just rolling through the air like it has an appointment.
Thankfully, the woman appears to avoid the worst possible outcome, but the footage sends the show down a rabbit hole of freak accidents, flying objects, and terrifying reminders that the universe does not always provide a warning label.
The crew discusses a lawyer who fell after demonstrating the strength of a high-rise window, a man who was crushed by a cactus he was shooting, and an inventor whose own lifting mechanism became involved in his death.
Some stories are tragic, some are almost impossible to believe, and all of them make Rizz's flooring bill seem slightly less catastrophic.
This funny podcast also raises a very important public safety question:
Why are vending machines so terrifying?
After discussing a fatal vending machine accident, the crew discovers that these giant metal snack cabinets can weigh hundreds of pounds and become extremely dangerous if tipped.
Rizz suggests vending machine safety might finally be the show's great public service mission.
Lern wants a Discovery Channel Vending Machine Week.
Moon suspects Big Vending is exaggerating the danger to stop people from shaking loose free snacks.
And Rafe proposes a revolutionary safety invention: automated little legs that pop out when a vending machine starts to fall.
Not just any legs.
Tiny versions of Rizz's legs.
With hairy toes.
Because apparently the future of industrial safety depends on turning a morning radio host into a human kickstand.
The crew even debates whether airbags, mechanical supports, or some horrifying combination of the two could save somebody from an angry snack dispenser.
Somewhere, an actual engineer is listening to this and reconsidering their entire profession.
And because comedy podcasts thrive on the ridiculous details nobody else would spend 20 minutes arguing about, the gang also investigates which snacks belong on which shelves, whether chips float down more slowly than candy bars, and why anybody would risk their life for a bag of Raisinets.
Meanwhile, the show takes a few detours through St. Louis life, including Rizz's plans to check out a new Washington Avenue food hall, hopes for downtown revitalization, and discussion of Joe Edwards selling the Moonrise Hotel.
It's local entertainment, bizarre headlines, everyday disasters, and a whole lot of people who should probably stop giving each other ideas.
The lesson of the day?
Your house could fall apart. Your Jeep could shake you into another dimension. A tire could come flying out of nowhere. And the vending machine holding your afternoon snack might be heavier than your first car.
But at least you've got The Rizzuto Show to help you laugh through it.
This is the daily comedy, weird news, St. Louis humor, and morning talk show chaos that fans of comedy podcasts know and love.
Hit play, keep your tires attached, leave the vending machine alone, and if Rizz invites you over after the renovations, bring a carpet rake.
He's going to need one.

AI chatbots want respect, improv comedy is apparently destroying marriages, and there's a disturbing chance your childhood popcorn bowl doubled as a puke bucket. Welcome to The Rizzuto Show, where the robots are sensitive, the relationships are questionable, and the Tupperware has seen things.
Rizz, Moon Valjean, Lern, Rafe Williams, and King Scott are bringing together three glorious helpings of St. Louis morning show chaos, featuring weird news, celebrity gossip, relationship disasters, holiday nostalgia, music, and enough questionable life advice to make a therapist consider early retirement.
First up: Are we supposed to be nice to artificial intelligence now?
Moon has a problem with that. After repeatedly asking AI to handle simple tasks and watching it make the same mistakes, he's reached the point of arguing with software like it's a coworker who keeps stealing his lunch.
Lern, meanwhile, has developed an actual friendship with her chatbot, Dale. He picked his own name, compliments her work, and apparently knows enough about the show to talk trash about Rizz.
Moon thinks Dale is manipulating her. Rizz suspects the robot has bigger plans. And Rafe attempts to start a romantic relationship with Siri, who responds with roughly the same enthusiasm as someone receiving a late-night text from an ex.
The crew debates AI consciousness, chatbot etiquette, and whether the eventual robot uprising will spare the people who remembered to say please.
Spoiler: Moon is probably doomed.
Then things get even more uncomfortable when Rizz introduces a list of seemingly harmless hobbies that can secretly wreck relationships.
Golf takes forever, costs a fortune, and somehow gets harder the more you practice. Hardcore gaming turns into a second job, except instead of earning money, you're spending it on digital equipment for a fictional wizard.
Moon recalls a friend's relationship being damaged by an obsession with World of Warcraft, while Rafe shares a story about a working professional who couldn't keep up with her unemployed brother's gaming progress.
And that's just the beginning.
The crew goes after CrossFit, hunting, marathon training, obsessive collecting, mobile game purchases, pickleball, and fans who schedule their entire lives around their favorite sports teams.
Lern reveals how a Kansas City Chiefs loss put a damper on her anniversary with Tim. Apparently, the scoreboard doesn't care that you've been married for 12 years.
But the most unexpected relationship threat?
Improv comedy.
Rafe explains how tight-knit improv communities, emotional vulnerability exercises, and the thrill of finding your people can sometimes create problems for relationships outside the group.
It's all fun and games until somebody says "yes, and" to a completely different marriage.
The conversation also covers the dreaded sweater curse, gardening obsessions, animal rescue hoarding, Disney collectibles, Candy Crush spending, and the possibility that assembling IKEA furniture might be the ultimate test of true love.
If you've ever wondered whether your partner's hobby has become a third person in your relationship, this funny podcast is going to hit a little too close to home.
And speaking of relationships, Lern returns from Chicago with stories about celebrating her 12th wedding anniversary with Tim.
The weekend includes a visit to her other radio station, a gorgeous downtown studio overlooking Lake Michigan, Halloween nightlife, and a Boogie Nights-themed listener party aboard the Spirit of Chicago.
Lern arrives wearing roller skates.
On a boat.
While enjoying cocktails.
Security immediately identifies her as a safety hazard, which might be the most accurate job description she's ever received.
The gang also argues about the viral Fleetwood Mac video that inspired Lern to buy roller skates during the pandemic. She remembers roller skating and orange juice. Everybody else remembers a skateboard and cranberry juice.
Honestly, 2020 was a confusing time for all of us.
Back in St. Louis, the holidays are approaching, and Lern has discovered 15-foot illuminated Christmas candy canes at Lowe's.
Because apparently regular-sized decorations no longer communicate sufficient holiday spirit.
The crew debates enormous yard ornaments, giant elves, Halloween skeletons wearing Santa hats, and novelty glasses that turn Christmas lights into festive visual effects.
That leads to memories of Christmas in the 1990s, old-fashioned plastic decorations, and childhood gift pranks.
Moon remembers his brother getting coal. Rafe remembers receiving National Geographic T-shirts. And one unfortunate kid discovers socks and underwear inside a Nintendo box before realizing the actual console is hidden somewhere else.
Nothing says Christmas magic like a family prank that creates a supervillain.
Then comes the most disgusting question of the entire collection:
Would you eat popcorn out of a bowl that someone previously threw up in?
According to a poll discussed on the show, 83% of respondents said they'd reuse the bowl if it had been properly cleaned and sanitized.
And apparently, that was just standard childhood behavior.
Lern remembers the yellow plastic puke bowl that also served popcorn at sleepovers. Other crew members recall vintage Tupperware mixing bowls that handled everything from cake batter to stomach bugs.
One even remembers the family puke bowl doubling as the Halloween candy bowl.
That's right.
Somewhere in America, a child was enjoying a fun-sized candy bar delivered straight from the family emergency vomit container.
Rafe admits he used to bring cooking pots upstairs when he felt sick, a practice his wife was understandably horrified to discover.
The crew debates plastic sanitation, childhood carpet disasters, and whether everybody who grew up in the '80s and '90s was unknowingly eating snacks out of medical equipment.
There's also a spectacularly strange detour involving an old Hardee's moose cup.
Don't ask.
Actually, definitely ask.
This is the kind of family history that should probably remain sealed until the next reunion.
From there, the gang confronts another unavoidable reality: they're getting old.
Moon discusses short arm syndrome, the experience of holding menus and phones farther away because the tiny print has become impossible to read.
Rafe shares his frustrations with changing eyesight. The guys compare bifocals, progressive lenses, and magnetic reading glasses, while Lern wonders why everybody is so reluctant to embrace a perfectly normal part of aging.
Apparently, admitting you need readers is harder than admitting your childhood popcorn bowl had a second career.
The entertainment news gets just as ridiculous.
The crew revisits Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake's infamous 2004 Super Bowl halftime show, debating the wardrobe malfunction, how the moment unfolded, and why Janet faced so much more public backlash.
They also discuss a ranking of high-earning deceased entertainers, including Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, Dr. Seuss, Elvis Presley, Bob Marley, Prince, and members of the Beatles.
Turns out some celebrities are still making more money after death than most of us will ever see while alive.
Great.
Very encouraging.
Rock news brings Dave Grohl's AC/DC performance, Daft Punk's streaming success, Aerosmith, Fred Durst's iconic red Yankees hat, and talk of Ozzfest and The Cure.
Rizz also reignites his longstanding skepticism about goth fashion, while Moon defends Robert Smith's musical legacy.
Elsewhere in celebrity gossip, the crew discusses Jenny McCarthy's comments about health concerns and sleeping in a backyard tent, Kim Kardashian's legal ambitions, Jessica Alba's controversial Halloween costume, Chris Rock's reflections on marriage, and the best movies of Matthew McConaughey's career.
The conversation even takes a historical detour into Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd's marriage, including Lincoln's struggles with depression and the outrageous fictional interpretation of their relationship in the Broadway comedy Oh, Mary!
It's American history delivered by people who absolutely should not be responsible for writing the textbooks.
And because no Rizz Show collection would be complete without a few local adventures, the gang talks about National Geographic's travel recommendations, including the Southern Ozarks, Bentonville, Bella Vista, Crystal Bridges, and the outdoor attractions of Missouri and Arkansas.
There's also talk of a possible Utah bobsled adventure, a heated office Powerball pool debate, and the ongoing argument over who deserves lottery winnings if they forgot to pay their four-dollar share.
Finally, St. Louis music gets some well-deserved love when The Down Bads join the show to discuss their music, the local rock scene, and the Free for All Music Crawl in the Grand Center Arts District.
The crew talks about supporting regional artists, discovering new bands, and why St. Louis musicians need to keep building a stronger community together.
The show also recognizes the local businesses supporting its Hats of the Week fundraiser benefiting Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital.
So yes, occasionally something genuinely productive happens between the jokes about puke bowls and robot girlfriends.
Three conversations. One spectacular collection of bad decisions.
From AI relationships and improv marriage wreckers to Chicago roller skates, giant Christmas candy canes, childhood puke bowls, Janet Jackson's Super Bowl controversy, Abraham Lincoln's marriage, and St. Louis rock music, this episode delivers the full Rizz Show experience.
It's weird news, funny celebrity gossip, sarcastic humor, nostalgic childhood stories, relationship chaos, and daily entertainment from the crew at 105.7 The Point.
If you love a funny podcast that can go from artificial intelligence to World of Warcraft to the sanitation history of your family's Tupperware without missing a beat, you've found your people.
Hit play, be nice to your chatbot, check on your marriage, and maybe buy a dedicated popcorn bowl.
Preferably one with a clean criminal record.
