The Rizzuto Show | Daily Comedy Podcast

Is candy a snack? Why does choosing something on Netflix feel like a full-time job? And who the hell needs emergency sourdough hidden under their desk? Welcome to The Rizzuto Show, where Halloween is approaching, the wigs are disappearing, and nobody is qualified to investigate anything.
Rizz, Moon Valjean, King Scott Lern, and Rafe Williams are serving up a triple helping of St. Louis morning show chaos in this funny podcast packed with ridiculous debates, celebrity gossip, rock music, questionable Halloween costumes, and stories that probably should have stayed in the group chat.
First, Rizz asks a deceptively simple question: Is candy a snack or a treat? What follows is a full-blown nutritional identity crisis involving Hershey bars, Skittles, Little Debbie snack cakes, Rice Krispies Treats, applesauce, and the long-lost glory of SnackWell's cookies. Moon thinks candy deserves its own category, Lern has very specific rules about sour candy, and Rafe is just trying to figure out why everybody suddenly forgot what a snack is. Somewhere, a bag of chips is feeling extremely superior.
Then it's time for Strip Club or Daycare?, the listener game where real business names are so confusing that even the lifelines need lifelines. With names like Giggly Wiggly, Perfect Angels, The Mouse's Ear, and Touched by an Angel, callers compete for concert tickets while the crew discovers that naming a business might be the most dangerous creative exercise in America.
Meanwhile, Ludo crashes the studio to preview their three-night Halludoween celebration at The Pageant in St. Louis. The band talks costumes, different setlists, special guests, elaborate stage production, and the announcement that they're taking the following year off from the annual event. There's also a completely fictional dragon, some aggressive glockenspiel appreciation, and an incredible live performance of their Halloween song “Scare Me.” Because nothing says spooky season like a rock band showing up with an instrument nobody on the show knows how to discuss responsibly.
The music nostalgia continues with Gin Blossoms, as the crew revisits the band's '90s hits, talks about their Stifel Charity Classic appearance, and gets into the kind of rock-radio conversation that makes you realize everybody has a slightly different memory of the alternative music era. There's also a deep dive into bands touring without original members, Tom Petty guitar collectibles, and the eternal question of when a band is still technically the same band.
Then comes streaming fatigue, the modern condition where you spend 40 minutes scrolling through Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+, watch three trailers, argue about your options, and ultimately go to bed without watching anything. Rizz discovers that streaming subscribers reportedly waste 110 hours a year just looking for something to watch. Rafe accidentally chooses the wrong Halloween II, Moon can't read half the titles on his TV anymore, and Rizz's new iPhone comes with an unexpected milestone: increasing the font size. Congratulations, technology has officially become an aging simulator.
The celebrity commentary gets even more ridiculous when the gang examines Tim McGraw's extremely dramatic tan alongside family photos with Faith Hill. Is it sunshine? Bronzer? A spray-tan setting that should require a permit? Nobody knows, but everyone has an opinion, and the comparisons get increasingly unhelpful.
And just when you think this daily comedy show has exhausted its supply of nonsense, Rafe's Reba McEntire wig goes missing.
That's right. A full-scale investigation begins over a missing wig, and everyone in the studio becomes a suspect. During the search, Rafe discovers Rizz's emergency sourdough bread stash, which apparently serves as an essential workplace survival resource. Forget fire extinguishers. In this building, you're getting a loaf of bread and a motivational insult.
Halloween costume planning is equally unhinged. Rizz and Rafe are preparing for The Lost Boys, with Rizz taking on Kiefer Sutherland's David and Rafe attempting to recreate the movie's legendary saxophone player. The problem? Rafe needs an actual saxophone, an impressive tan, and enough confidence to spend the night dressed like an oiled-up '80s music-video fever dream. Lern has Boogie Nights plans involving roller skates, Moon considers costume options, and everybody debates the fine line between Halloween dedication and making a terrible personal decision.
Add in wig swaps, the mysterious Fart Police Incident, weird entertainment news, old-school rock arguments, and the everyday nonsense that somehow qualifies as a professional broadcasting career, and you've got another funny podcast from the people who can turn absolutely nothing into an entire morning of entertainment.
Whether you're here for Ludo's live performance, Gin Blossoms nostalgia, Halloween comedy, celebrity news, the snack-versus-treat controversy, or the mystery of why a grown man needs emergency sourdough, The Rizzuto Show delivers the sarcastic humor and ridiculous conversations that make St. Louis mornings just a little less normal.
It's another funny podcast full of music, laughs, questionable judgment, and grown adults behaving like they were left unsupervised at a Halloween party.
And somehow, that's exactly why you keep listening.

Is candy actually a snack? Can you tell a strip club from a daycare center? And why is Ludo threatening to take away Halloween for an entire year? Welcome to The Rizzuto Show, where the questions are ridiculous, the answers are somehow worse, and the glockenspiel is getting way too much attention.
Rizz, Moon Valjean, Lern, Rafe Williams, and the gang are back with another funny podcast packed with Halloween madness, bizarre debates, listener games, St. Louis music, and the kind of conversations that make you wonder how anyone at 105.7 The Point gets actual work done.
First up: an earth-shattering question that nobody asked but everybody suddenly has an opinion about.
Is candy a snack, or is candy a treat?
Sounds simple, right? Wrong. Apparently, this is the kind of philosophical nightmare that can bring an entire morning show to a grinding halt.
Rizz argues that snacks should be more like potato chips. Lern thinks chocolate bars might qualify, but Skittles and sour candy belong in their own category. Moon insists candy is a celebration, a bonus, or a dessert—especially while he's trying to cut added sugar out of his life. Meanwhile, Rafe is desperately trying to explain that if you're eating something between meals, it probably counts as a snack.
Then somebody brings up snack cakes.
And cookies.
And Rice Krispies Treats.
And applesauce.
And grapes.
Before long, the crew is questioning everything they've ever known about food. The only thing everybody seems to agree on is that the name “Rice Krispies Treats” makes a pretty compelling argument.
The debate also sends everyone down memory lane with SnackWell's cookies, those supposedly guilt-free desserts that made an entire generation believe eating chocolate-covered marshmallow cookies was basically a wellness routine.
Somewhere, a nutritionist just turned off the radio.
Then it's time for one of the show's most gloriously questionable games: Strip Club or Daycare?
Rafe reads the names of real businesses, and callers have to figure out whether they're looking at an establishment for adult entertainment or a place where someone should probably be teaching children their ABCs.
Sounds easy until you hear names like Giggly Wiggly, Perfect Angels, Dream On, The Mouse's Ear, Little Playhouse, and Touched by an Angel.
Suddenly, nobody is confident about anything.
Callers from around the St. Louis area—including O'Fallon, Festus, Wentzville, and Bridgeton—put their judgment to the test with Moon and Lern serving as lifelines. Unfortunately, the lifelines are occasionally just as confused as the contestants.
Some players walk away with concert tickets. Others walk away knowing they've apparently been making some very questionable assumptions about the childcare industry.
And Rizz? He's struggling to get certain words out correctly, giving Rafe approximately 47 opportunities to roast him before the next commercial break.
But the real Halloween excitement arrives when Ludo takes over the studio to preview their annual Halludoween celebration at The Pageant in St. Louis.
The band is gearing up for three nights of elaborate performances, different setlists, special guests, costumes, and the kind of theatrical production that has turned Halludoween into a tradition for fans traveling from across the country—and even overseas.
There's just one catch.
Ludo announces they're taking the following year off from Halludoween.
That's right. After this three-night extravaganza, the band plans to skip next year's event while exploring other creative possibilities.
Naturally, Rizz reacts like somebody just canceled Christmas.
The guys explain why they're stepping away temporarily, how they keep the shows fresh every night, and why fans should expect different songs, different opening acts, and a few surprises throughout the weekend.
They also break down the lineup, including The Pink Tax, Bug Hunter, Convey and Bowers, The Effects, Maddie Shell, and Stop.Drop.Rewind, along with a special appearance from the Funky Butt Horns.
Ludo promises fan favorites like “Love Me Dead” and “Lake Pontchartrain,” plus deeper cuts that might only appear on one of the three nights.
Then the crew starts asking about the stage production.
Will there be costumes? Absolutely.
Elaborate theatrical elements? Of course.
A giant fire-breathing dragon?
Well, somebody says there will be one.
Then immediately admits they made that up.
So if you're attending Halludoween specifically for the dragon, you may want to adjust your expectations.
The band also talks about how much rehearsal goes into preparing for three full nights of music, how the fan costumes have become part of the experience, and why St. Louis is such a special place for ambitious live productions.
And just when you think the interview can't get any better, Ludo performs “Scare Me” live in the studio.
It's a spooky, theatrical Halloween performance complete with eerie storytelling, big musical energy, and an unexpected star of the show: a glockenspiel.
Yes, a glockenspiel.
The crew becomes so fascinated with the instrument that the conversation nearly turns into a separate interview with the glockenspiel itself.
By the end, Rizz is practically demanding that it get its own stage moment, preferably with some Jimi Hendrix-style pyrotechnics. Because nothing says Halloween like setting a percussion instrument on fire.
From candy classifications and forgotten snack foods to confusing business names, concert ticket giveaways, Halloween costumes, and a full-blown Ludo studio performance, this funny podcast is everything that makes The Rizzuto Show a beautifully chaotic St. Louis morning show.
If you love sarcastic humor, ridiculous debates, live music, funny stories, and the kind of daily comedy that turns a harmless candy question into a philosophical crisis, this episode has you covered.
Join Rizz and the gang for another funny podcast, where candy is apparently not food, daycare names require a background check, and Ludo is taking Halloween so seriously they might need a year to recover.

We're wasting 110 hours a year looking for something to stream, some of our favorite bands have zero original members, and Tim McGraw has apparently been spending quality time inside a toaster oven.
Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, the funny podcast where Rizz, Moon Valjean, Lern, and Rafe Williams turn everyday annoyances, music nostalgia, celebrity gossip, and questionable life decisions into another perfectly dysfunctional morning in St. Louis.
First, Rizz has officially crossed a major milestone in adulthood: he bought a new iPhone and voluntarily increased the font size.
Not all the way to giant letters. Just a little.
He's not ready for the senior-citizen phone just yet, but the clock is ticking. Moon isn't doing much better, admitting he can barely read the titles on his television's streaming menus anymore. The gang quickly realizes that aging isn't just about your knees making noises when you stand up. It's about needing reading glasses to decide whether you want to watch a movie.
Which brings us to streaming fatigue.
According to a statistic discussed on the show, the average American streaming subscriber spends 110 hours a year just searching for something to watch. That's more than four full days of scrolling through Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and everything else before eventually giving up and going to bed.
Rafe knows the struggle. He's spent entire evenings debating movie choices, only to end up watching a disappointing Halloween II remake. Rizz admits he's opened every streaming service, found absolutely nothing, and simply surrendered to sleep.
The crew even considers an incredible new invention: a service that just plays shows at scheduled times so you don't have to choose.
Yes. They've reinvented cable television.
Then it's time for a musical identity crisis.
Rizz dives into the world of classic rock bands touring without any founding members. Lynyrd Skynyrd, Little River Band, Molly Hatchet, and other legendary acts spark a surprisingly passionate debate: when the original musicians are gone, is it still the same band?
Moon argues that the spirit of a group can survive if the sound and tradition are passed down properly. Lern wonders whether younger bands would ever get away with the same thing. Rafe considers the musical version of replacing every part of a car and still calling it original.
And naturally, someone brings up KISS, GWAR, Journey, Queen, and No Doubt.
Apparently, rock and roll immortality comes with a complicated employee handbook.
The music conversation continues with a preview of Andy from Gin Blossoms calling the show and Ludo stopping by the studio. The crew reminisces about '90s alternative rock, the Gin Blossoms' biggest hits, and whether the band was secretly making music specifically for the ladies. Because nothing says sophisticated musical criticism like four radio personalities arguing about the romantic intentions of “Hey Jealousy.”
Meanwhile, the audience comes through with actual useful advice. Lern thanks listeners for helping her figure out who should deal with tree branches hanging over utility wires and how to clean cloudy headlights. Her husband Tim puts the headlight trick to the test, and the results are apparently impressive.
The Rizz Show audience: solving household problems while the hosts struggle to operate a television.
Then Lern delivers a massive helping of Crap on Celebrities, starting with Tim McGraw's induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
A tremendous honor.
Unfortunately, the internet was more interested in his tan.
The country superstar's extremely bronzed appearance becomes the subject of an extended studio investigation, with comparisons to microwaved hot dogs, bodybuilding competitions, and a spray-tan appointment that desperately needed adult supervision.
The gang also gets into Mickey Rourke thanking Bruce Springsteen and Dana White for helping him during a difficult financial period, Alex Warren's fans asking him to autograph urns containing loved ones' ashes, the Eagles extending their Sphere residency, and a new wave of music documentaries.
Moon recalls celebrating New Year's Eve in Flagstaff, Arizona, where they drop a giant pine cone at midnight. Rafe remembers an unforgettable Beale Street experience featuring B.B. King. And Lern discusses Nashville's massive New Year's Eve celebration.
There's also a limited-edition Tom Petty Flying V guitar that Moon desperately wants, an American Horror Story discussion, bizarre ancestry revelations involving the Sprouse twins, Roseanne Barr's plans for a new sitcom, and Pauly Shore's return to horror with the short film Remain Calm.
Plus, the crew talks about Christina Applegate's reported medical uncertainty, Mel Brooks returning for the Spaceballs sequel, and the upcoming Halludoween shows from Ludo.
It's streaming frustration, rock-and-roll identity theft, celebrity chaos, nostalgic music arguments, and one extremely committed country-music tan.
If you love funny stories, entertainment gossip, weird news, pop culture commentary, and the kind of sarcastic humor that makes morning radio worth getting out of bed for, this funny podcast has everything except a reasonable explanation for Tim McGraw's bronzer budget.
Join Rizz and the gang for another funny podcast from St. Louis, where the music is classic, the television menus are unreadable, and apparently the secret to becoming a country legend is looking like you've been basted in butter.

Rafe's Reba McEntire wig has vanished, Rizz is apparently stockpiling emergency sourdough, and an airline reportedly offered passengers a $12 food voucher after a terrifying emergency landing. Welcome to The Rizzuto Show, where every disaster comes with a punchline and customer service is somehow the biggest horror story.
Rizz, Moon Valjean, Lern, Rafe Williams, and the gang are back with another funny podcast loaded with St. Louis news, Halloween chaos, bizarre discoveries, hilarious personal stories, and the kind of conversations that should probably never make it past a morning production meeting.
First, there's an emergency at the radio station. Rafe's beloved Reba McEntire wig is missing, and absolutely everybody is a suspect. While searching the office, he discovers Rizz's emergency sourdough bread stash, which raises several important questions. Why does a grown man need emergency bread? How much sourdough constitutes a survival kit? And why does this studio have enough wigs to open a questionable hair salon?
The crew also prepares for Halloween, with Rizz planning to dress as David from The Lost Boys and Rafe taking on the legendary shirtless saxophone player. Unfortunately, Rafe still needs an actual saxophone, a tan, and possibly a little more confidence. Lern is going as Roller Girl from Boogie Nights, which means she'll be wearing roller skates on a boat. Nothing could possibly go wrong there.
Meanwhile, Moon considers Halloween costume possibilities, and the gang takes a nostalgic detour through forgotten '80s hair metal, Burt Reynolds movies, and the arrival of Nirvana that changed rock music forever.
Then there's the surprisingly lucrative business of decorating people's porches with pumpkins. One entrepreneur charges hundreds or even thousands of dollars to arrange seasonal decorations, leading the crew to debate whether this is a brilliant business model or proof that people will pay almost anything to avoid doing yard work.
Rafe also gives an update on his beloved elderly puggle, Beau, whose luxurious lifestyle includes multiple dog beds, personal transportation, and a potential birthday celebration that gets wildly out of hand. The crew even starts planning an elaborate photo shoot and charity calendar. Apparently, this dog has a better retirement plan than most Americans.
But things take a serious turn with the story of an American Eagle flight from St. Louis to Philadelphia that reportedly experienced mechanical trouble, smoke, falling oxygen masks, and an emergency landing. Passengers were told to leave their belongings and run from the aircraft.
Terrifying enough.
Then the gang hears about the reported compensation: a $12 airport food voucher.
Twelve dollars.
At an airport.
Congratulations on surviving. Please enjoy approximately three bites of a sandwich.
Rizz, Moon, Lern, and Rafe debate what passengers should receive after an experience like that, with suggestions ranging from free flights to airline stock. Rafe also shares his own frustrating experience with a canceled connecting flight that left him driving from Denver to St. Louis.
And because St. Louis apparently can't go a week without something bizarre appearing on the road, the crew discusses a mysterious aircraft-shaped object transported down Lindbergh Boulevard. The object turns out to be a Boeing MQ-25 Stingray unmanned refueling aircraft, sparking a debate about military technology, social media, and whether sensitive equipment should be hauled around looking like a prop from a science-fiction movie.
It's Halloween costumes, missing wigs, emergency bread, pet-parent chaos, aviation nightmares, weird St. Louis sightings, and sarcastic humor from a crew that can turn almost any headline into a completely unnecessary argument.
If you love strange news, ridiculous stories, pop culture commentary, and the unpredictable energy of a St. Louis morning show, this funny podcast is exactly the kind of bad influence your commute deserves.
Join Rizz and the gang for another episode of this funny podcast, where the wigs are itchy, the bread is for emergencies only, and a $12 airline voucher might be the scariest Halloween surprise of all.

Shark-infested surfing, an escaped inmate, Greek Fire's epic comeback, and a $250 coffin buffet. Just another perfectly normal day on The Rizzuto Show.
Rizz, Moon Valjean, Lern, Rafe Williams, and King Scott are back with another chaotic funny podcast packed with bizarre St. Louis news, celebrity gossip, hilarious fails, and the kind of conversations that make you question how these people are allowed near microphones.
Rafe kicks things off by revealing that he once went surfing in San Diego during great white shark season. The best part? His friend waited until Rafe was already in the water to mention the sharks. Nothing like learning to surf while dressed as a delicious, confused sea lion.
Back in St. Louis, the crew discusses a wild escape from the City Justice Center, where an inmate reportedly crawled through the ceiling and walked out past malfunctioning security systems. Things get even stranger when a listener calls in with his own decades-old jail escape story. The gang also covers serious local crime headlines, debates the future of ziplining at Creve Coeur Park, and puts Missouri stereotypes under the microscope in the Great St. Louis Debate.
On a much happier note, Moon celebrates Greek Fire's triumphant return to Delmar Hall after seven years without a full headlining show. With theatrical production, new music, and an emotional moment watching his son sing along in the crowd, it's a reminder of just how incredible St. Louis music can be.
Meanwhile, Lern discovers Cat Collector, an app that's basically Pokémon Go for neighborhood cats. Because apparently taking pictures of random cats wasn't enough. Now she can collect them, track them, and potentially turn her entire neighborhood into a feline treasure hunt.
The crew also discusses Grand Theft Auto 6 and its potential billion-dollar impact on workplace productivity, while Crap on Celebrities delivers entertainment gossip involving Taylor Swift, Mötley Crüe, Ted Lasso, and more. Naturally, the conversation eventually turns into an argument about the greatest cartoon villains of the 1980s.
Then comes the Great American Geography Disaster, where Rizz and Moon ace a blank map of the United States while Lern struggles to locate Delaware and Rafe temporarily forgets Alabama exists. Somewhere, a fifth-grade geography teacher just started crying.
And finally, Facebook Marketplace Price Is Right returns with some truly disturbing local listings: a crocheted Halloween surprise, creepy dental models, a Gremlin skeleton, a questionable teddy bear magnet, and a full-size coffin converted into a buffet table for $250. Because nothing says “enjoy the nachos” quite like eating them out of a casket.
The grand finale? A 1983 Chrysler LeBaron that used to talk, listed for $3,800 despite a collection of mechanical problems. Moon wins the pricing challenge, proving that vintage automotive knowledge is apparently more useful than knowing where Wyoming is.
From shark encounters and St. Louis crime stories to rock-and-roll celebrations, weird technology, horror movie villains, celebrity chaos, and Facebook Marketplace nightmares, this funny podcast delivers everything you love about The Rizzuto Show: sarcastic humor, funny stories, pop culture commentary, and absolutely unnecessary arguments.
Join Rizz and the gang for another installment of this funny podcast, where the geography is questionable, the shopping decisions are worse, and the only thing scarier than a great white shark is somebody serving dinner out of a coffin.
