The Rizzuto Show | Daily Comedy Podcast

Nick Swardson walks into the studio, Moon gets sent to the street wearing a sign about his foreskin, and suddenly we're all discussing the dangers of monkeys with access to human anatomy. Just another perfectly normal morning at The Rizzuto Show.
Welcome to The Rizzuto Show, the funny podcast where Rizz, Moon Valjean, Lern, and Rafe Williams welcome Hollywood royalty while simultaneously finding new ways to embarrass their coworkers in public.
Today's special guest is comedian and actor Nick Swardson, who stops by ahead of GalaxyCon in St. Louis to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Grandma's Boy. Nick talks about his iconic role as Terry on Reno 911!, working in Adam Sandler's comedy universe, and why a movie sitting at zero percent on Rotten Tomatoes doesn't necessarily mean it isn't a masterpiece. At least that's what we're telling ourselves about Bucky Larson.
Nick also shares stories from the set of Just Go with It, including working alongside Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman, and what it takes to get dramatic actors comfortable doing comedy. Lern, naturally, wants to know what kissing Jennifer Aniston was like. Journalism is alive and well, people.
We also get the scoop on Nick's horror short Remain Calm with Pauly Shore and Doug Jones, his upcoming movie with Luke Wilson, and why Nikki Glaser's St. Louis restaurant recommendations deserve some attention.
Meanwhile, Moon is paying for his terrible NFL picks by standing outside on Olive Boulevard wearing a sandwich board lovingly crafted by Lern. One side announces, "Soccer is not a real sport." The other demands, "I want my foreskin back!" Nothing says community engagement like publicly insulting soccer fans while making a deeply personal anatomical request.
And just when you think this funny podcast can't get any stranger, Nick starts talking about filming Grandma's Boy with a monkey that was apparently entering its unpredictable teenage years. The animal trainer's warnings were less "enjoy working with our adorable co-star" and more "please avoid showing your teeth if you'd like to keep them."
That leads Rafe and Lern to revisit the time five monkeys visited the radio studio for Lern's birthday, including one that grabbed an Airsoft gun. Yes, an actual monkey with an actual Airsoft gun. The crew compares monkey horror stories, discusses Chimp Crazy, and discovers that birthday cake can apparently be a controversial gift in the primate community.
Before Nick arrives, the gang also dives into celebrity and music news: the Sonic Temple festival lineup, a new Fleetwood Mac documentary, Bernie Taupin and Elton John's songwriting catalog, Stevie Wonder's unusual eviction dispute, Queens of the Stone Age touring with the Pixies, and the former Eminem engineer who pleaded guilty to stealing unreleased music.
There's also Bono defending expensive U2 VIP packages, a debate over whether Metallica's Sphere videos are spoiling the experience, and the usual arguments about movies nobody can agree on.
It's celebrity interviews, behind-the-scenes Hollywood stories, rock news, embarrassing punishments, and a surprising amount of concern about monkey-related injuries. This funny podcast delivers exactly what you'd expect from your favorite St. Louis comedy morning show: absolutely no indication that anyone involved should be left unsupervised.
Listen now. And if you see Moon standing beside the road, please don't ask him to explain the sign.

What do a tortured football fan, a homemade sandwich board, and a lawsuit involving hand herpes have in common? Unfortunately, they're all part of our morning.
Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, the funny podcast where Rizz, Moon Valjean, King Scott, Lern, and Rafe Williams somehow manage to make St. Louis news, sports arguments, and basic personal hygiene sound like emergencies requiring a legal department.
We kick things off with John Ulett's collection of life rules, including his deeply concerning approach to eating hot dogs. Apparently, the ends are off-limits. We're not sure that's wisdom, but it's definitely information we can't unlearn. Lern is preparing for a women's retreat in the woods, Rizz has a mysterious weekend trip he refuses to explain, and his in-laws provide the perfect excuse to avoid a three-mile hike with a CrossFit enthusiast wearing a weighted vest. Fitness is important. So is knowing when to stay home.
Then it's time for St. Louis news, where The Hill's expensive drone security system faces questions after a string of car break-ins. The crew immediately starts imagining a neighborhood-watch reality show starring the sort of guys who don't need drones to know who's parked on their block. Meanwhile, plans for a St. Louis police reality series get scrapped, and Arnold gets some genuinely good news: more hot salami is on the way with a new Gioia's Deli location. Finally, a local story with a happy ending. And lunch.
But the real public spectacle belongs to Moon, who is preparing to stand along Olive Boulevard wearing a sandwich board created by Lern as punishment for his football picks. Nothing says professional morning radio like sending a grown man to the roadside with a homemade sign while the rest of the crew encourages passing drivers to honk.
There's also celebrity excitement as comedian Nick Swardson is scheduled to visit the studio during GalaxyCon weekend. The gang revisits Grandma's Boy, Reno 911!, and the long list of comedians and cult-film favorites they'd love to get on the show. It's an impressive lineup of entertainment discussion for people who were just debating whether a tuxedo vest counts as workout equipment.
And because this is The Rizzuto Show, the conversation somehow ends up at nail salons, pedicures, and a lawsuit alleging that a manicure caused a herpes infection. Rizz shares his first pedicure experience, everyone discusses the horrifying condition of their feet, and suddenly the phrase “hand herpes” becomes something we have to say out loud at work.
If that's not enough, a serious Topgolf injury lawsuit turns into a debate about flying golf clubs, safety nets, and whether anyone should need a helmet just to enjoy nachos at a driving range. Plus, there's a dispute over prepaid amusement-park dining plans following changes at the former Six Flags St. Louis.
It's weird news, local headlines, celebrity talk, sports humiliation, and sarcastic humor from your favorite St. Louis morning show. This funny podcast has everything you need to get through your commute, except perhaps a better understanding of why any of us are allowed near a microphone.
Listen to The Rizzuto Show for another funny podcast packed with daily comedy, ridiculous stories, and the kind of conversations that make you wonder whether the FCC has taken the morning off.

The Rizzuto Show is bringing together three helpings of St. Louis morning show chaos in one funny podcast, featuring Rizz, Moon Valjean, King Scott, Lern, and Rafe Williams doing what they do best: turning perfectly normal conversations into situations that should probably require adult supervision.
First up, Alex Winter from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and The Lost Boys makes a surprise studio appearance! The actor and filmmaker talks about growing up in St. Louis, his documentaries about Frank Zappa, Napster, and Bitcoin, directing music videos for Helmet and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and bringing the cult classic Freaked back to life. Naturally, Rizz uses this rare opportunity to pitch documentaries about speed bumps, missing Tupperware lids, and the suffering of people who hate mayonnaise. Hollywood's loss, apparently.
Meanwhile, Moon is preparing for his football-picks punishment: standing along Olive Boulevard in a homemade sandwich board courtesy of Lern. The gang also debates a viral Duke football incident involving an athletic trainer, ranks America's best college towns, and decides which celebrities should narrate their autobiographies. Danny DeVito reading Rizz's life story? We'd listen.
Then things get even weirder. Tim McKernan skips a podcast recording for the chance to golf with Cardinals legend Ozzie Smith, which might be the most defensible excuse for missing work ever. Moon shares a wild backstage story about 50 Cent showing up nearly an hour late to a festival, while Rafe recounts a DJ Khaled golf outing where every bad swing apparently needed to be deleted from existence. Add rumors about Jay-Z and the Super Bowl halftime show, news involving The Offspring and Godsmack, and a debate over a proposed St. Louis police reality series, and you've got plenty of celebrity chaos to go around.
And then there's Moon's contribution to the show notes: “Ever seen your mom naked?”
No article. No explanation. Just that question, sitting in the shared document like a warning from the universe. It launches a completely unhinged conversation about the so-called Naked Mom Theory, childhood memories, awkward family encounters, and the horrifying basement showers of the Midwest. Somehow, this is a real job that people get paid to do.
It's celebrity interviews, rock-and-roll stories, football drama, local St. Louis debates, family oversharing, and enough sarcastic humor to make three separate episodes feel like one long HR incident. Whether you're here for Alex Winter, Moon's public humiliation, or the family stories nobody should have told on the radio, this funny podcast has something for everyone with a slightly questionable sense of humor.
Welcome to another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show. Be excellent to each other, don't make DJ Khaled wait on the golf course, and maybe keep your family's shower arrangements to yourself.

Moon's about to be humiliated on a busy St. Louis street, a college football player is catching heat for swatting a trainer, and Bill S. Preston, Esquire himself just walked into The Rizzuto Show. EXCELLENT!
Rizz, Moon Valjean, Lern, and Rafe Williams are back with another funny podcast packed with football drama, questionable punishments, St. Louis pride, Hollywood nostalgia, and one seriously unexpected celebrity guest.
First, Moon is preparing to pay the price for his football picks. His punishment? Spending an hour on Olive Boulevard outside the radio station wearing a ridiculous two-sided sandwich board designed by his own coworkers. Lern is heading to the craft store, the crew is debating the most embarrassing messages to put on it, and Moon won't know exactly what he's advertising until it's time to face morning traffic. Nothing says professional broadcasting like publicly humiliating your guitarist before breakfast.
Then the gang dives into a viral Duke football controversy involving cornerback Kamari Robinson, who was filmed swatting away a female athletic trainer while she was trying to assist an injured teammate. Rizz, Rafe, Lern, and Moon debate whether it was an emotional reaction in the heat of the moment or behavior that deserves more serious consequences. And when another video of a similar incident comes up, the conversation gets even more heated.
College talk continues with a ranking of America's best college towns. St. Louis and St. Charles make respectable appearances, while Columbia, Fayetteville, Ann Arbor, and other university towns spark a debate about campus life, affordability, and where the crew's kids might eventually end up. Because choosing a college is apparently stressful enough without your parents turning the rankings into a morning radio competition.
The listener emails bring another ridiculous question: Which celebrity should narrate your autobiography? Rizz picks Danny DeVito, Moon considers Woody Harrelson and Jeff Bridges, and Rafe suggests a rotating cast that includes Arnold Schwarzenegger and a few people who are no longer alive. The discussion somehow becomes an appreciation of Twins, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Gary Busey's wonderfully bizarre Halloween announcement.
But the biggest surprise of the day is waiting outside the studio door.
Alex Winter joins The Rizzuto Show!
The actor, director, and documentary filmmaker best known for Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and The Lost Boys stops by ahead of being honored at the St. Louis International Film Festival. And as it turns out, Alex has some serious St. Louis roots, having spent part of his childhood in University City.
The crew talks about his hometown memories, his filmmaking career, and his documentaries covering subjects like Frank Zappa, Napster, and Bitcoin. Alex also shares stories about directing music videos for Helmet and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, attending metal shows, and his love for practical movie effects.
Moon gets especially excited discussing Freaked, Alex's cult-classic comedy that he helped restore and rerelease. Meanwhile, the gang revisits The Lost Boys, Halloween costumes, and the incredible experience of watching those movies with a new generation.
There's even talk about Keanu Reeves, Dogstar, Nathan Fielder, Robert Pattinson, and the future of documentary filmmaking.
Naturally, Rizz decides this is the perfect opportunity to pitch Alex a few documentary ideas of his own.
Among the potential cinematic masterpieces? The history of speed bumps, the struggles of mayonnaise haters at fast-food drive-thrus, and the mysterious disappearance of Tupperware lids.
Hollywood, please start the bidding war immediately.
From football controversies and college-town rankings to celebrity audiobook fantasies and an unforgettable interview with Alex Winter, this funny podcast delivers everything you love about The Rizzuto Show: sarcastic humor, ridiculous stories, genuine conversations, and a group of grown adults who should probably not be trusted with poster board and craft supplies.
Join Rizz and the gang for another funny podcast from St. Louis, where Moon's punishment is public, the celebrity guests are legendary, and the documentary pitches are absolutely terrible.
Be excellent to each other. And if you see Moon standing on Olive Boulevard wearing a sandwich board, please honk. He earned it.

Would you skip work to play golf with Ozzie Smith? Tim McKernan sure would. And honestly, that's probably the most reasonable decision anyone makes in this entire episode.
Rizz, Moon Valjean, Lern, and Rafe Williams are back with another funny podcast packed with baseball legends, celebrity gossip, backstage rock stories, St. Louis news, and the kind of entertainment chaos that makes you wonder how these people have maintained careers in broadcasting.
First, Tim McKernan bails on recording The Spreads podcast for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to golf with Cardinals legend Ozzie Smith. Can you blame him? Lern admits to making a similar decision for a chance to meet Don Mattingly, and the gang gets into childhood sports heroes, Will Clark's hilariously unfiltered baseball stories, and whether meeting your idols is worth abandoning your coworkers.
Then Crap on Celebrities takes a spectacular turn.
The crew discusses rumors about Jay-Z potentially headlining the Super Bowl halftime show, whether Beyoncé might join him, and why rock fans shouldn't hold their breath waiting for a guitar-heavy halftime performance. There's also a detour into Rick Rubin's mysterious wizard-like appearance, because apparently legendary music producers are now required to look like they live in Middle-earth.
Moon shares his experience recently performing before The Offspring, including spending time around guitarist Noodles before news of his temporary break from live performances. The gang also covers Sully Erna's clarification about Godsmack's future and the possibility of more new music.
But the real backstage madness begins when Moon tells an unforgettable story about playing a festival headlined by 50 Cent.
After Coheed and Cambria's set gets cut short to accommodate the headliner, everyone waits for 50 Cent to take the stage. And waits. And waits some more. Meanwhile, there's a line of women outside his tour bus, and the rapper apparently has absolutely no interest in rushing.
Nearly an hour late, he finally emerges, performs a relatively short set, and heads right back to the bus.
Rock-star behavior? Absolutely. Professional scheduling? Not even remotely.
Rafe follows that up with a story about DJ Khaled turning a golf outing into a full-blown video production, allegedly having someone record every swing and delete the bad shots. Imagine being stuck behind a golfer who needs a social media editor before he can hit his next ball. Another one? Unfortunately, yes.
The celebrity news continues with 50 Cent's ongoing feud with Rick Ross, discussions of country music, and a tribute to John Anderson as the crew revisits his biggest songs and debates the greatest albums of all time.
Back in St. Louis, the gang discusses a proposed reality television series involving the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, including Mayor Cara Spencer's opposition and whether putting local policing on national television would help the city or create even more problems. Naturally, this leads to memories of Cops, bizarre sovereign-citizen arrest videos, and the endless entertainment value of people arguing with police about laws they clearly don't understand.
Hollywood gets its turn, too, with talk of a possible Coach reboot starring Ty Burrell, Chris Pratt's future as Star-Lord, Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet engagement rumors, and Josh Brolin's reflections on sobriety. There's even a brief moment when the crew mistakenly declares an actor dead before discovering he's very much alive. Fantastic work, everybody.
Plus, Nirvana's Nevermind sparks a debate about album sales, streaming numbers, and whether modern music statistics can really be compared with the days when people had to physically buy a record.
It's baseball nostalgia, celebrity feuds, rock-and-roll memories, weird Hollywood news, and sarcastic humor from a St. Louis morning show that somehow manages to turn a golf invitation into a discussion about 50 Cent's tour bus.
If you love funny stories, celebrity news, music history, pop culture commentary, and the wonderfully unpredictable conversations that make The Rizzuto Show what it is, this funny podcast has plenty to keep you entertained.
Join Rizz and the gang for another funny podcast where Tim McKernan chooses Ozzie Smith over work, DJ Khaled can't hit a golf ball without a production crew, and 50 Cent apparently operates on his own time zone.
