The Rizzuto Show | Daily Comedy Podcast

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.

AC/DC has officially taken over St. Louis, and somehow that’s the least dangerous thing happening on today’s show.
The crew kicks things off with the AC/DC pop-up at Ballpark Village, the massive crowds surrounding the show and Moon remembering the actual AC/DC Lane he visited in Melbourne—complete with murals and enough rock history to make every tribute band immediately reconsider its career choices. Meanwhile, Lern is preparing for AC/DC and the Foo Fighters, who are hitting the stage promptly at 7 p.m. Seriously. Seven. They’ve only mentioned it approximately enough times to have it tattooed on everyone entering downtown.
Then Sexy Time Fun Facts arrives to destroy whatever dignity this funny podcast had left.
After wondering how their previous friend-of-the-show with enhancement surgery is recovering, Rizz brings in the much darker story of an influencer who died following a cosmetic penile enhancement procedure in Bangkok. According to the story discussed on the show, the 43-year-old underwent injections intended to increase his girth before developing severe chest pain and collapsing. The crew breaks down what reportedly went wrong, the inherent risks of cosmetic procedures and the unfortunate lesson that sometimes chasing “one last upgrade” is a catastrophically bad idea.
This also gives Moon the opportunity to recall seeing what he believes were some truly spectacular cosmetic enhancements in the wild during a cruise. And yes, we’re talking about butts now. There’s apparently an Ozempic-related “big butt shortage,” Rafe would like everyone to support the cause, and the show briefly considers doing squats in tribute. This is technically health and wellness content if you lower your standards enough.
Then we move from physical enhancements to another modern threat to relationships: your stupid phone.
A marriage and family therapist’s viral list of suspicious smartphone habits has the crew examining the little behaviors that can make your partner wonder what exactly you’re hiding. Secret passwords? Phone suddenly face-down when your partner enters? Hiding the device? Changing passcodes without mentioning it? Angling your screen away like you’re protecting classified intelligence? Congratulations, you’ve turned checking Instagram into an episode of Dateline.
Lern actually has a legitimate excuse for acting shady around Tim: she was secretly planning his birthday bridge surprise and nearly blew the whole thing when a Marco Polo message started playing while Tim walked into the room. Unfortunately, “I promise I’m hiding something GOOD from you” isn’t traditionally the sentence that restores confidence in a relationship.
Moon then remembers a touring buddy who apparently forgot to mention one extremely important detail while enjoying Singapore: he was engaged. That omission became significantly more problematic when the tour manager later called him, immediately started discussing his overseas adventures…and discovered the guy’s fiancée was sitting beside him on speakerphone.
That marriage did not happen. Weird.
From privacy screens to password changes, sudden defensiveness and treating your phone like it requires top-secret clearance, the crew reaches the obvious conclusion: smartphones aren’t necessarily ruining relationships. Being a shady prick while holding one might be.
AC/DC. Questionable enhancements. Giant butts. Secret birthday plans. Singapore disasters. And an alarming amount of discussion about which direction your phone is facing.
It’s another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show, proving once again that we can begin with one of the biggest rock bands on Earth and somehow arrive at relationship surveillance and inflatable body parts in under fourteen minutes.
Come for the St. Louis rock talk. Stay for the relationship advice absolutely nobody requested from this funny podcast.

Strap in, preferably without requiring five rolls of duct tape, because Episode 101 starts with rock ’n’ roll dreams and somehow ends up debating an island nobody wants featured in the tourism brochure.
Lern is heading to AC/DC with her mom, the Foo Fighters are opening, and she has one very specific prediction: Dave Grohl is going to come back out and perform with AC/DC. Why? Inside information? A secret source? Years of carefully studying concert history? Nope. She had a dream about it. Welcome to the comedy podcast where subconscious visions are apparently acceptable journalism.
With St. Louis preparing for the massive show, the crew gets into ticket prices, parking chaos and just how much people will spend to see legendary artists. That leads to the absolutely bonkers money surrounding Alan Jackson’s farewell show and George Strait drawing more than 100,000 ticket-buying fans. Turns out being the King of Country is a pretty solid business model.
Then we board an airplane, where everything immediately gets worse.
The crew discovers the spectacular image of an unruly first-class passenger who reportedly became abusive toward people onboard and eventually got restrained by fellow passengers with zip ties and enough duct tape to make the hardware aisle nervous. The resulting photo is art. Horrible, chaotic, “how did your vacation get here?” art.
Unfortunately, the airline conversation takes a much darker turn with the story surrounding longtime Wheel of Fortune announcer Jim Thornton. According to the details discussed on the show, another passenger noticed disturbing messages on his laptop during a flight, photographed the screen and alerted the crew. That kicks off a larger conversation about privacy on airplanes, whether anybody actually pays attention to what strangers are doing beside them and Rafe accidentally becoming emotionally invested in another passenger’s giant-font family text drama.
Then another disturbing story hits much closer to home as the show discusses the arrest of a St. Charles-area middle school assistant principal on a child sexual abuse material charge. The allegations lead into a serious conversation about predators, how technology may make them easier to uncover, whether these cases were historically hidden or handled differently, and the terrifying responsibility of keeping kids safe around adults placed in positions of trust.
Naturally, because this is The Rizzuto Show and apparently we cannot process anything normally, the conversation eventually circles back to the previously discussed concept of “Pedophile Island”: convicted predators, one island, everybody else gets to stay very far away. Is this a carefully researched criminal justice proposal? Absolutely not. Is the brainstorming department nevertheless open for business? Unfortunately, yes.
Crap on Celebrity then attempts to restore some sanity and immediately fails. Beyoncé has anniversary merchandise that includes a wildly expensive wooden box. Kelly Osbourne discusses the devastating effect losing Ozzy had on her health. Alex Van Halen and Sammy Hagar are still feuding because apparently retirement-age rock stars are contractually forbidden from simply muting each other. The crew also digs into Soundgarden working with unreleased Chris Cornell vocals and the emotional challenge of creating something new while protecting a friend’s legacy.
Moon remembers Every Time I Die guitarist and wrestler Andy Williams following his death, sharing personal memories of a guy he knew for years as an overwhelmingly positive force. Rafe also reflects on losing comedian Danny Maupin, turning the show briefly and genuinely reflective before everybody inevitably wanders back toward entertainment chaos.
There’s also talk about the Michael Jackson biopic, Pamela Anderson, an extremely bizarre-looking Elizabeth Holmes documentary involving Nathan Fielder, Rob Lowe’s alleged Tom Cruise rivalry, the search for the next James Bond and Carrie Underwood attempting Limp Bizkit’s “Break Stuff.”
AC/DC. Foo Fighters. Duct tape. Airplane snooping. Celebrity insanity. Serious conversations, terrible solutions and several moments where everyone involved probably should have reconsidered owning a microphone.
Just another comedy podcast from The Rizzuto Show.

King Scott has officially welcomed a new Princess into the world, which means congratulations are in order—and, more importantly, it’s time for a group of grown adults to argue over who won the baby pool.
The show kicks off with the crew breaking down the new baby’s arrival, the guesses for date, time and weight, and some accounting so questionable that everyone should probably just agree Scott won because he got an actual human being out of the deal. Welcome back to another perfectly functional daily comedy show.
Rizz is also back after an unexpectedly rough few days following Mohs surgery to remove basal cell carcinoma from underneath his eye. What he thought would be a relatively simple procedure turned into multiple rounds of cutting, repeated needles to the face, ten stitches and enough swelling to make an eye patch feel like a legitimate fashion choice. Naturally, the crew responds to this medical ordeal with the sensitivity and compassion you’d expect from them—which is almost none.
And because apparently facial surgery wasn’t stressful enough, Rizz also tells the story of getting a phone call from his 17-year-old son informing him that the family car had vanished from Francis Park during the Gateway Cup. Was it stolen? Impounded? Gone forever on a holiday weekend? Nope. In one of the strangest happy endings possible, authorities had apparently moved and re-parked the cars along the race route. Thankfully, a tracker led them back to the vehicle, proving once again that technology exists primarily to prevent dads from completely losing their minds.
Then we head deeper into St. Louis chaos. The crew talks about local restaurant closings, the Heavy Anchor getting hit by a car, community support for the venue, Venmo weirdos asking people for money and the Bevo-area street takeover involving a stolen vehicle that ended up on fire. Just your standard relaxing holiday weekend in STL.
Things get surprisingly wholesome when Lern reveals her birthday surprise for Mono Tim: an actual bridge dedicated in his honor. Yes, Mono Tim has a bridge now. No, the rest of us have accomplished nothing. The touching story immediately becomes less touching when Rafe starts considering whether the property could eventually host a Viking funeral for his beloved Jeep. This is why we can’t have one nice segment.
Rafe also takes us inside his attempt to buy a Frame-style TV from a brick-and-mortar store, where finding an employee interested in selling him a television becomes an endurance event. He arrives ready to spend money and somehow leaves with existential questions about television speakers, mounting hardware and whether customer service is now an escape room.
Finally, football season means the Pick ’Em Challenge is back—and the punishments are getting an upgrade. Forget repeating the same punishment all season. This year, the wheel could deliver barefoot days around the station, cat food or anchovies under your car seat, oven mitts for an entire show and plenty of other ideas designed to make losing football picks everybody else’s entertainment.
A new baby. A stitched-up face. A mysteriously relocated car. Mono Tim’s bridge. A possible Viking funeral. Retail despair. And punishments created by people who clearly cannot be trusted with authority.
It’s another daily comedy show from The Rizzuto Show, where a normal Tuesday somehow requires more plot development than most television seasons. If you enjoy funny stories, St. Louis insanity, sarcastic humor and a daily comedy show that can turn a baby announcement into gambling results within minutes, welcome home.

Apparently, all it takes to make a normal morning completely fall apart is one Florida man, one unfortunate horse, several questionable bedtime habits, an expensive hobby or twelve, and a group of radio professionals who should probably know when to stop asking follow-up questions.
Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, the funny podcast where the news is already ridiculous before we get our grubby little hands on it.
Things get moving with a Florida story involving a man, a horse named Raven, and behavior that forces Rafe to remind humanity of a very important rule: we do not have to have sex with everything. That seems like something adults shouldn't need explained, yet here we are. The whole disaster also inspires “Just Joe,” the imaginary product nobody asked for but everybody immediately understands. Congratulations to marketing. Please never make this real.
From there, we discover another great way to destroy your dignity: hobbies.
What starts as “I think I’ll try fishing” becomes a garage full of equipment and a bank account begging for mercy. Guitar, golf, aquariums, classic cars, cycling, coffee, gaming, woodworking, bowling and disc golf all get thrown into the financial wood chipper as the gang debates which innocent-looking pastime turns into an expensive lifestyle the fastest. Somewhere, a guy with 11 bowling balls just felt personally attacked.
Then we crawl into everybody’s bedrooms—which sounds significantly worse than it is—for a breakdown of bedtime routines. Shower before bed? Brush your teeth? Journal? Read? Scroll your phone until your brain becomes soup? Sleep with the door open? Let the pets take over the mattress you technically paid for?
We learn that Rizz can apparently postpone an argument until tomorrow and immediately go to sleep, which may qualify as either a superpower or psychopath behavior. Moon has to rethink his sacred nap schedule when the kids are home. Lern wisely refuses to bring her journal anywhere near these people. King Scott reads Nancy Drew aloud to his wife. Somehow, every new detail raises additional questions.
And because this funny podcast refuses to remain in one lane for more than seven consecutive seconds, summer officially gets declared dead, Moon celebrates the closing of the swimming pool he barely uses yet still manages to resent, and the crew gets into the viral US Open mess involving a CEO snatching a tennis player's hat that was intended for a kid. Nothing says “successful businessman” quite like becoming internationally famous for fighting a child over free merchandise.
It’s daily comedy, weird news, ridiculous personal stories, St. Louis radio chaos and pop culture commentary held together by sarcasm and whatever caffeine was available before sunrise.
Basically, another completely normal edition of The Rizzuto Show.
If you're looking for a funny podcast featuring Rizz and the gang taking unusual news stories, everyday arguments, celebrity and entertainment chaos, listener feedback and their own questionable life choices far more seriously than necessary, you've found your people.
We apologize in advance.
