The Rizzuto Show | Daily Comedy Podcast

Dolly Parton, OnlyFans millions, the internet’s sketchiest glory days, trailer park memories, a $50 million phone call, the return of Greek Fire, and grown adults getting absolutely dismantled by elementary-school math. Somehow, that’s all one episode of The Rizzuto Show.
The show starts on a more emotional note as the crew remembers Dolly Parton and the kindness, humor, generosity, and unmistakable personality that made her such a beloved icon. Unfortunately, Rizz had recently expressed concern about Dolly’s health, which means listeners immediately dust off the completely scientific and legally airtight Rizz Show Curse and start blaming him. The emails arrive. The accusations fly. Rizz maintains his innocence. Nobody believes him.
Lern shares what Dolly meant to her growing up, the crew revisits some of Dolly’s funniest moments, and for a brief shining moment, The Rizzuto Show experiences genuine human emotion.
Then we start talking about trailer parks.
Because of course we do.
After a mobile-home community gets unfairly dragged into headlines surrounding the arrest of 49ers owner Jed York, the crew clears up what actually happened—and that sends everybody barreling into stories about growing up around mobile homes. We get Rafe’s single-wide childhood, homemade deer-skull decor, Lern’s surprise taxidermied boar head, wood-burning stoves, freezing bedrooms, tornado shelters, questionable carpet, decks built onto decks, and enough rural engineering to make HGTV quietly leave the room.
From there, things get even more sophisticated with toilet paper, padded toilet seats, an aggressively powerful handheld bidet, National Dog Day, dog breeds, genetically modified animals and the looming possibility that humanity will eventually build Jurassic Park despite having several movies explaining why we absolutely should not.
Then it’s time to discuss the modern economy.
OnlyFans has reportedly paid creators $30 billion since launch, including billions in 2025 alone. Sounds like easy money—until the crew discovers just how tiny the percentage of million-dollar creators actually is. Naturally, this inspires an extremely serious business discussion about celebrity accounts, niche content, and whether there’s an untapped market for shirtless men vacuuming their houses.
Please do not put that idea into a business plan.
The conversation then heads back to the simpler, uglier and significantly more dangerous internet of our youth: MySpace, Napster, mp3.com, GeoCities, eBaum’s World, ICQ, AOL chat rooms, Fark, The Chive and Chatroulette—the website Rafe accurately describes as Russian roulette with considerably worse odds.
Moon remembers Story of the Year hitting number one on mp3.com with “Until the Day I Die” before the site disappeared, and everybody remembers when the internet felt less like an algorithm trying to sell you something and more like a bunch of weird digital neighborhoods where nobody’s parents had any idea what their children were doing.
Which, in retrospect, was maybe not ideal.
The nostalgia continues into physical media, old video games, vintage magazines, classic barbershops, and the slow realization that future antique stores might be pretty boring when everything we own is technically a license stored on a server somewhere.
There’s also entertainment gossip, Rizz admitting he’s spent years pretending he’s seen Donnie Darko, and then Moon drops the big announcement: Greek Fire is returning to the stage for its first headline show in seven years, with new music and a show at Delmar Hall.
And because this daily comedy show still hasn’t caused enough intellectual damage, we finish with the Rizz Quiz.
First, the crew tackles a $50 million hypothetical: if someone offered you $50 million tax-free to call somebody right now, and you only get the money if they don’t answer, who are you calling?
The answer around the studio is basically King Scott.
Congratulations, Scott. Your inability to answer a phone is finally an asset.
Then callers take on 45 seconds of supposedly easy trivia. Colors. Animals. Geography. Third-to-fifth-grade math. The sort of questions every adult thinks they could answer until a timer starts ticking and suddenly 60 divided by 6 is zero, 8 times 4 is 36, 18 plus 22 is 50, and a dollar apparently contains 50 nickels.
The Rizz Quiz remains undefeated.
So this episode has everything: a heartfelt tribute to Dolly Parton, the Rizz Show Curse, trailer park vindication, taxidermy, dangerous bathroom equipment, OnlyFans economics, internet nostalgia, Chatroulette trauma, disappearing physical media, Greek Fire’s return, a hypothetical $50 million payday, and basic arithmetic publicly humiliating grown adults.
In other words, another completely normal episode of The Rizzuto Show.
Come for the funny celebrity gossip and weird news. Stay for the St. Louis chaos, nostalgic stories, Rizz and the gang roasting each other, and the comforting knowledge that no matter how bad your day is going, at least you probably know that 60 divided by 6 is 10.
Probably.

We begin Episode 24 with one of those hypothetical questions that immediately exposes exactly how much faith you have in the people around you:
Someone offers you $50 million cash, tax-free. All you have to do is call someone. If they don’t answer, you get the money.
Who are you calling?
For the Rizz Show crew, the answer becomes obvious very quickly: King Scott.
The man apparently treats incoming phone calls like suggestions.
Rizz is already mentally spending his $50 million because King Scott never answers. Moon is apparently another safe bet, and the conversation quickly turns into an intervention about why Scott’s phone is always on Do Not Disturb—especially with a very pregnant wife at home.
Probably time to turn the ringer on, buddy.
If not, apparently the rest of The Rizzuto Show is prepared to raise the child. It takes a village, and unfortunately this is the village available.
Then it’s time for the Rizz Quiz, where contestants get 45 seconds to answer as many supposedly simple questions as possible. One wrong answer immediately stops the clock. We’re talking third-to-fifth-grade territory: basic math, colors, geography, animals, planets and other information most adults confidently assume is still stored somewhere inside their brains.
That confidence does not survive this comedy show.
Janelle starts strong with pink, 30, LEGO and 366 days in a leap year before the phrase “natural satellite” completely derails the operation. The answer was the moon. Instead, we get a curse word and an early exit.
Chris comes in ready to work—and apparently ready to work with the loudest calculator ever manufactured. He gets through Harry Potter, pentagons, Florida, multiplication, McDonald’s and subtraction while everybody tries to figure out whether he’s playing the Rizz Quiz or doing taxes on a Texas Instruments from 1987.
Then Craig absolutely cooks.
Milk. Spider legs. Mars. Division. Elephants. Inches. Gravity. Multiplication. Hawaii. Addition. Helium.
The man puts up 11 correct answers, which in this game basically makes him Ken Jennings.
Bill gets one chance to dethrone him.
First question: What animal is known as man’s best friend?
Dog.
Second question: What is 60 divided by 6?
Zero.
And that’s it.
Craig wins Blues home-opener tickets while Bill presumably begins a long and painful reconciliation with the number 10.
Round two begins with Brittany taking on a piano, decades, Antarctica and basic multiplication. Eight times four?
36.
Nope.
The crew also realizes some questions have returned from the previous day, giving Rizz a chance to see whether anybody actually learned anything from Simpleton Trivia. Spoiler: education remains a work in progress.
Then Columbia Jeff steps up and cruises through colors, subtraction, human anatomy, triangles, Mario, multiplication and geography.
How many nickels make one dollar?
50.
Suddenly Rizz feels much better about his own previous nickel-related failure. This isn’t just trivia anymore. This is Rizz redemption.
Another Jeff enters the arena and successfully handles penguins, division and Canada before 18 plus 22 becomes…
50?
Math claims another victim.
Finally Ethan gets the last shot. He works through stop signs, Washington, D.C., division, dolphins and rainbow colors before getting tangled up in a question about the force behind ocean tides.
And that’s the Rizz Quiz experience in a nutshell: everything seems insultingly easy until the music starts, a timer is running and suddenly you’re staring into the abyss wondering whether 18 plus 22 has always been 50.
This comedy show proves once again that basic math becomes advanced calculus when someone puts you on the radio.
The Rizz Quiz isn’t difficult.
Your brain is just a coward.

Remember when the internet was fun?
Not useful. Not safe. Definitely not well designed. But fun.
We kick things off with the absolutely bonkers financial numbers coming out of OnlyFans, including the reported $30 billion paid to creators since launch and $6.3 billion paid out in 2025 alone. Sounds like everybody should immediately quit their jobs, right?
Well, maybe hang onto that health insurance.
The show crunches another number: out of roughly 5 million registered creator accounts, only 5,076 have earned more than $1 million on the platform. Suddenly the “easy money” plan starts looking suspiciously like every other entertainment career.
Naturally, this becomes a discussion about celebrity OnlyFans accounts, what exactly people are paying for, whether there’s a male market for the platform, and the apparently untapped economic potential of vacuuming your house without a shirt on.
Business school, but worse.
Then the funny podcast nostalgia machine kicks into gear as Riz asks everybody to remember the websites and apps from the early days of the internet.
MySpace. Napster. GeoCities. eBaum’s World. ICQ. Strong Bad. Fark. The Chive. Chatroulette.
Especially Chatroulette.
Rafe perfectly describes the difference between Russian roulette and Chatroulette: Russian roulette gives you one bad chamber out of six. Chatroulette basically reversed those odds.
The crew remembers AOL chat rooms, asking strangers “ASL?”, making actual friends online before anybody’s parents understood what was happening, and the glorious period when the internet felt like a collection of weird little neighborhoods instead of six giant companies demanding that you accept cookies.
Moon also takes us back to mp3.com and the early days of the internet changing the music business. Story of the Year’s “Until the Day I Die” actually reached the top of the site’s download rankings, beating massive songs from artists including Nelly, Eminem and Evanescence right before mp3.com disappeared.
So technically Moon retired as champion.
Please respect the belt.
The nostalgia continues when the crew gets into Sony and PlayStation reminding consumers that digitally purchased games are licensed rather than truly owned. That means no physical copy sitting on the shelf, no lending your game to a buddy, no selling it later and fewer weird little pieces of physical media surviving long enough to show up in an antique shop 40 years from now.
Which somehow leads directly into vintage Playboy magazines.
Obviously.
Rafe and Riz remember the old-school barbershops where guys sat around, dirty jokes flew freely, every haircut was basically the same haircut, everything smelled like Barbicide and there might just be a Playboy sitting in the waiting area.
Rafe remembers the legendary six-dollar haircut at Tally’s Barbershop in Du Quoin, Illinois, while the crew tries to determine whether “barbicide” sounds more like disinfectant or a felony committed against someone’s hair.
This funny podcast then shifts into Crap on Celebrities, where the crew covers Kiss selling its brand rights, developments surrounding the Tupac murder trial, Taylor Momsen joining surviving members of Soundgarden for an NFL halftime performance, upcoming comedy documentaries, Glenn Close defending Kim Kardashian, and the planned return of the Donnie Darko universe.
That’s also where Riz finally confesses something:
He has never seen Donnie Darko.
He has, however, apparently spent years pretending he has.
Honestly, knowing there’s a creepy bunny and an airplane engine is probably enough to fake your way through 80% of conversations about that movie.
The entertainment rundown also includes Ryan Gosling producing a new live-action Flintstones project before Lern closes things out with a tribute to Dolly Parton—remembering her humor, philanthropy, Imagination Library, enormous generosity and ability to take criticism without ever losing sight of exactly who she was.
And then comes the announcement Moon has been sitting on for years.
Greek Fire is returning to the stage.
Moon announces a headline show at Delmar Hall on Saturday, October 17—the band’s first headline show in seven years. They’ll play new material ahead of a larger release planned for next year, with Native Monster joining them and a portion of every ticket sold supporting Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital as part of the Rizz Show October fundraiser.
Moon promises full-blown rock theater.
Riz promises “hardness.”
We were extremely close to ending this episode professionally.
So there it is: OnlyFans economics, dead websites, sketchy chat rooms, mp3.com glory, digital ownership, vintage Playboys, barbershop jokes, entertainment gossip, Dolly Parton and Greek Fire finally returning.
Another funny podcast that started with financial analysis and ended with Riz discussing hardness.
Harvard Business Review could never.

We have some explaining to do.
The episode begins with Riz waking up to some major news. Obviously, he assumes everyone is talking about the Becky Thatcher, the first new riverboat joining the St. Louis riverfront fleet in nearly four decades.
Nobody is talking about the riverboat.
They’re talking about Dolly Parton.
After the show had recently discussed concerns about Dolly’s health, the news of her death arrives—and listeners immediately activate the long-running Rizz Show curse. The inbox fills with variations of “YOU KILLED DOLLY.” Riz insists he did no such thing. The audience has apparently already held a trial and reached a verdict.
What follows is a genuinely emotional remembrance of Dolly, particularly from Lern, who talks about growing up in a family of women who adored her and what Dolly represented as a funny, strong, generous woman who never seemed interested in punching down. The crew discusses the flood of tributes, her influence, her sense of humor and the strange feeling when an icon dies and suddenly your entire social feed becomes one giant memorial.
They also revisit Dolly’s legendary sense of humor through her old Letterman Top 10 appearance and a story about her attitude on the set of Steel Magnolias. It’s heartfelt, funny and a reminder that occasionally this daily comedy operation is capable of experiencing an actual human emotion.
Don’t get used to it.
Because we immediately pivot to the continuing saga involving the 49ers owner and the mobile-home community that got unwillingly dragged into headlines surrounding his arrest.
Turns out the Wheat Hill Mobile Home Community would like everybody to know something very important: THEY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
According to the discussion, the mobile-home park was simply where he happened to pull over during the police operation. It wasn’t part of the sting. Nobody was operating anything out of one of the trailers. The neighborhood just had the misfortune of becoming the funniest possible location to put in a headline.
Our apologies to Wheat Hill.
Naturally, this clarification leads to approximately half an hour of the crew discussing mobile homes.
Rafe explains growing up in a single-wide in southern Illinois with five people, where mounted deer were apparently standard interior design. Except his family couldn’t necessarily spring for full taxidermy, so Dad would clean the skull, mount the antlers and put the whole thing on a homemade wooden arrowhead.
HGTV has been suspiciously quiet about this aesthetic.
Lern remembers the time a giant taxidermied boar head unexpectedly arrived at her family home while her dad was away. Her little sister declared it a monster, Mom immediately banned it from civilized society, and now the boar apparently lives in the dark storage section of the basement waiting for somebody to make one wrong turn at night.
Obviously, the show wants it for the office.
Then Moon and Rafe provide an unexpectedly thorough education in mobile-home expansion. First you get the trailer. Then comes the lattice. Then the deck. Then another room. Maybe a wood-burning stove. Another deck. Perhaps an above-ground pool with a deck around that. Keep going long enough and the original mobile home becomes the chewy nougat center of an entire residential compound.
Rafe also remembers winters when the back of his family’s trailer got so cold they hung a blanket across the hallway, fired up the wood stove and everybody slept in the main room.
There are old Formica tables. Ancient carpet capable of producing immediate rug burn. Indoor cigarette smoke. Storm shelters. Tornado theories. Wind chimes. Lawn ornaments. Shot-up road signs—allegedly. Abandoned farm equipment. Old horse trailers. And a neighbor who apparently kept woodworking after losing enough fingers that maybe the universe was trying to send a message.
It becomes a weirdly affectionate trip through rural childhood, poverty and the things families do to turn whatever they have into a home.
Eventually, this daily comedy episode escapes Trailer Park Memory Lane and celebrates National Toilet Paper Day, which leads to an important debate about toilet paper being too soft. Then Rafe describes encountering a handheld bidet sprayer with enough water pressure that incorrect usage could apparently result in a medical evacuation.
There’s also the nostalgic horror of padded toilet seats, because nothing says “luxury bathroom” quite like sitting on a cracked vinyl cushion that has seen generations of bare asses.
National Dog Day brings happier territory as the crew talks about America’s popular dog breeds, mutts versus designer breeds, and why mixed-breed dogs may secretly have everything figured out.
Then the conversation wanders into genetic modification and the possibility of glow-in-the-dark animals, which naturally leads Moon to conclude that Jurassic Park is inevitable and he will absolutely buy a ticket.
Finally, Carrot Top enters the conversation because this show respects narrative structure about as much as a raccoon respects a locked trash can.
So yes: Dolly Parton, a new St. Louis riverboat, an NFL-owner controversy, trailer-park vindication, taxidermy, tornado shelters, toilet paper, dangerous bidets, dogs, genetically modified animals and Carrot Top.
That is daily comedy.
We’re sorry.
Mostly.

Summer is basically over, the kids are back in school, and some of them returned home looking like they’d just completed a six-month combat deployment instead of one day of algebra. Naturally, that sends The Rizzuto Show down memory lane to discuss suspiciously easy senior-year schedules, bowling classes, walking classes, movie classes, and the beautiful teenage realization that maybe calculus simply isn’t going to be part of your personal journey.
NFL chaos with the story of 49ers owner Jed York and an alleged prostitution sting in East Palestine, Ohio. The crew tries to understand how a man connected to billions of dollars somehow ends up at the center of a $140 Sunday-morning situation in a mobile home community.
A workplace prank involving heavy machinery that ended in tragedy. That leads into a rundown of some of the deadliest jobs in America, including logging, commercial fishing, roofing, steel work, trash collection, aviation, mining, construction, and landscaping. Suddenly sitting in a radio studio complaining about the air conditioning doesn’t seem quite as heroic.
And because The Rizzuto Show can never stay on one subject for more than the medically recommended amount of time, Fujifilm sends everybody tumbling into a conversation about words that instantly reveal your age. “Videotape.” “Pocketbook.” “Slacks.” “Icebox.” “Billfold.” “Filling station.” “Supper.” Welcome to the portion of the show where everyone discovers they’re approximately 900 years old.
Then it’s time to discuss the upcoming iPhone and whether spending around $1,200 on another rectangle that looks suspiciously like your current rectangle is still exciting. The show heads Back in the Day for anniversaries involving The Wizard of Oz, Bruce Springsteen’s Born to Run, Boston’s legendary debut album, Lauryn Hill, Aaliyah and more.
ZZ Top plays its first show following the death of drummer Frank Beard, the crew attempts to demonstrate its vast knowledge of Quando Rondo, Ella Langley continues her monster chart run with “Choosing Texas,” and Miranda Lambert enters the conversation thanks to a songwriting story involving a kangaroo. Because sure.
The Terminator 2 cast reunion also gets reviewed with all the tact and restraint you’ve come to expect from this comedy podcast. Edward Furlong gets some love, everybody realizes he was only 13 while filming the movie, and Rafe delivers the completely unnecessary observation that the reunion photo looks like “the future they were trying to prevent.”
Then the show turns to a frightening story out of Columbia, Missouri, where a 21-year-old former Mizzou student suffered severe injuries after falling from the rooftop area at Harpo’s. The crew talks about what was known about the accident, the young man’s condition, and their own experiences with Columbia’s downtown, the Blue Note, Shakespeare’s, old venues, King Scott's favorite Wal Mart and the college-town scene. It’s a genuinely awful situation, and everybody’s hoping the kid pulls through.
And then Simpleton Trivia arrives to destroy everybody’s self-esteem.
The premise sounds insultingly easy: answer 10 common-knowledge questions in 45 seconds. Get one wrong and you’re immediately done. Callers can either take the challenge themselves for two pairs of tickets or put their faith in somebody from The Rizzuto Show and bet on—or against—them.
