    DAILY SHOW: I'm A Pasta Rat With A Dad Bod | THE RIZZUTO SHOW COMEDY PODCAST

    11/09/2026 | 2h 56 mins.
    The whole gang is back for a huge Monday show.
    Rafe Williams returns from Park City, Utah, with stories from the U.S. Olympic training facilities, where he got an up-close look at bobsledding, luge, skeleton, and the athletes who willingly launch themselves down icy tracks at ridiculous speeds.
    Naturally, nobody can say "funicular" without turning it into a joke.
    Somewhere in Utah, a perfectly respectable resort is wondering why its transportation system has become morning radio material.
    Moon Rocks DeSoto, Missouri
    While Rafe is living the luxurious mountain lifestyle, Moon Valjean is spending his weekend in DeSoto, Missouri, playing a fundraiser with The Dirtbags for the Mel Bay Foundation.
    The event supports music education, music history, and music therapy, and Moon comes away impressed by the community's enthusiasm.
    The crowd includes everyone from young kids experiencing their first rock show to older attendees who may have been slightly less prepared for the volume.
    But by the end, the place is rocking.
    Moon starts making the case that DeSoto could become a great destination for more live music and entertainment.
    Lern immediately pitches a dirty soda business called "Da Soto."
    And Rizz, who admits he's never actually visited, somehow feels qualified to explain what the people of DeSoto want.
    Classic.
    St. Louis Food, Concerts & the Flyover Comedy Festival
    Lern's weekend includes a trip to O+O Pizza in Webster Groves, where the whipped goat cheese appetizer makes a serious impression.
    She also checks out the renovations at West County Center, including the upcoming Cheesecake Factory, before heading to the Three Days Grace and I Prevail concert at Enterprise Center.
    I Prevail earns some major praise from Lern, who thinks their energy might have stolen the show.
    The crew discusses Three Days Grace performing with two lead singers, Adam Gontier and Matt Walst, and the challenges of balancing both voices onstage.
    Meanwhile, Rafe is getting ready for the Flyover Comedy Festival in the Delmar Loop, with dozens of shows, hundreds of comedians, and multiple walkable venues.
    Moon is excited about local live music.
    Lern is excited about concerts and restaurants.
    Rafe is excited about comedy.
    And Rizz is about to explain why steakhouses are committing crimes against basic arithmetic.
    The Great Three-Shrimp Scam
    Rizz visits Sam's Steakhouse in South County and genuinely enjoys himself.
    The restaurant looks beautiful.
    The steak is excellent.
    Three shrimp for $16.
    What happens when a former child star takes a vow of poverty, owns 81 acres of land, has a sixth baby on the way, and starts a GoFundMe? Apparently, you get the most confusing financial plan since somebody decided to sell a $990 candle snuffer.
    Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, your favorite St. Louis funny podcast, where we investigate celebrity nonsense, question humanity's decision-making skills, and occasionally discover that the adults might actually be the problem.
    Rizz, Moon, Lern, Rafe Williams, and King Scott are back with another helping of daily comedy, weird news, celebrity gossip, and the kind of sarcastic humor that makes comedy podcasts a necessary public service.
    Today's episode features a Little Rascals star asking for financial assistance, an overprotective college mom who apparently thinks dorm rooms are daycare centers, the return of terrible headphones, and a celebrity gift guide designed specifically for people who have too much money and not enough supervision.
    And that's before Rafe gets threatened with a blind taste test.
    Alfalfa Takes a Vow of Poverty... and Starts a GoFundMe
    Glamorous girlfriend of one of richest men in the world donates $2K to ‘Little Rascals’ star Brandon ‘Bug’ Hall’s GoFundMe
    Sony is bringing back a piece of Walkman history, and unlike some other tech revivals, this one won’t require you to sell a kidney.

    Tickle Me Elmo Returns, LEGO Bandits & Dating Profile Disasters

    11/09/2026 | 20 mins.
    Tickle Me Elmo is back, somebody in St. Louis allegedly stole nearly $3,000 worth of LEGOs, and Lern lets AI write Rizz a dating profile that somehow manages to insult his abs, his personality, and his Italian heritage in one sitting.
    Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, your favorite St. Louis funny podcast, where childhood nostalgia meets retail crime, romance gets ruined by terrible grammar, and artificial intelligence apparently knows Scott Rizzuto a little too well.
    Rizz, Moon Valjean, Lern, Rafe Williams, and the gang are back with another helping of daily comedy, weird news, funny stories, dating advice, and the kind of ridiculous conversations that keep comedy podcasts in business.
    Today's episode features a returning Christmas toy sensation, an alleged LEGO crime spree in Town and Country, a surprisingly expensive Star Wars Death Star, the mathematical odds of finding love, and an AI-generated dating profile that describes Rizz as an Italian guy with a dad bod and a passion for pasta.
    Romance is officially dead.
    And apparently, it's been replaced by marinara sauce.
    Tickle Me Elmo Is Back, Because Christmas Has Run Out of New Ideas

    Remember the absolute chaos surrounding Tickle Me Elmo in the 1990s?
    Parents fighting over stuffed animals.
    Stores running out of inventory.
    Grown adults behaving like they'd never seen a red puppet before.
    Well, apparently, we're doing this again.
    Rizz and Lern wonder what this year's must-have Christmas toy might be. Nobody seems to have a definitive answer until Rafe discovers that retro toys are making a comeback.
    Enter the Sesame Street Tickle Me Elmo Giggle Max Interactive Plush Toy.
    It's an 18-inch, 30th-anniversary reimagining of the classic toy that laughs, talks, and flails its arms when tickled.
    So basically, Elmo is back to terrorize parents who thought they'd escaped this nonsense decades ago.
    The crew discusses other popular toys, the return of nostalgia-driven products, and whether today's kids even understand why their parents once lost their minds trying to buy a laughing puppet.
    Meanwhile, Rizz considers shopping for his kids using Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop gift catalog.
    Because nothing says Christmas morning like a wildly overpriced celebrity-approved household accessory.
    The St. Louis LEGO Bandit Builds Himself a Criminal Record

    Next up, it's time for some local St. Louis weird news.
    According to the story discussed on the show, a man allegedly stole $2,719.90 worth of LEGO sets from the Target in Town and Country, Missouri, during multiple visits in March 2024.
    Not one visit.
    Not two.
    Four separate trips to the same store.
    Apparently, somebody was building an empire.
    One plastic brick at a time.
    Rizz reads through the alleged thefts while Moon wonders how quickly this guy must have been assembling the sets.
    Rafe imagines the suspect being sentenced to a prison constructed entirely out of LEGOs.
    And the crew starts debating whether LEGO sets would even be allowed in jail.
    Because stepping on a loose LEGO barefoot is already a cruel and unusual punishment.
    Then Lern reveals the prices of some of the most expensive LEGO sets.
    The Star Wars Death Star comes in at around $1,000, with more than 9,000 pieces.
    The Millennium Falcon isn't exactly cheap either.
    Rizz remembers having a Death Star set thanks to a family connection at LEGO, and says it took months to finish building.
    Which raises an important question:
    At what point does buying LEGOs stop being a hobby and start becoming a mortgage payment?
    French Montana, French Stewart & the Great Celebrity Identity Crisis

    Before the LEGO investigation can even get properly underway, the crew has to correct an earlier celebrity birthday mistake.
    Rizz confuses French Montana with French Stewart.
    Then confuses 3rd Rock from the Sun with 30 Rock.
    Then everybody gets involved.
    French Montana is a rapper.
    French Stewart starred in 3rd Rock from the Sun.
    30 Rock was the Tina Fey show.
    And John Lithgow would probably appreciate everybody getting their television history straight.
    It's a completely unnecessary detour that somehow becomes one of the funniest moments of the morning.
    Which is pretty much the entire concept of this show.
    Your Odds of Finding Love Are Apparently 1 in 562

    Then it's time for Sexy Time Fun Facts.
    And today's topic?
    The statistical nightmare known as dating.
    Rizz shares a study suggesting that the odds of randomly meeting someone you could fall in love with on any given day are approximately 1 in 562.
    Not exactly encouraging.
    But there are ways to improve your chances.
    According to the research discussed on the show, online dating provides the biggest boost, followed by socializing with coworkers and their friends, talking to people at the gym, and meeting people through shared hobbies.
    Bars offer a smaller boost.
    Friends of friends help a little.
    And getting set up by family members apparently barely moves the needle.
    Which makes sense.
    Because nobody wants to hear their aunt explain why her coworker's divorced nephew is "a really nice guy once you get to know him."
    The crew debates where people actually meet potential partners and whether modern dating apps have made finding love easier or simply created an endless supply of people to reject.
    Dating Profile Red Flags: Stop Writing Like a Maniac

    Rizz breaks down the biggest mistakes people make in their online dating profiles.
    First up?
    Terrible grammar.
    Misspelled words.
    Confusing "your" and "you're."
    Using "loose" when you mean "lose."
    And writing an entire romantic introduction like you're sending a text from a flip phone in 2004.
    Lern is especially passionate about this one.
    Moon admits he's constantly correcting his kids' grammar.
    And Rizz suggests that if you can't be bothered to proofread your dating profile, you probably shouldn't be surprised when nobody wants to date you.
    The crew also discusses profiles that read like autobiographies, endless lists of demands, and bios filled with complaints about previous relationships.
    Nobody wants to swipe right on someone whose entire personality is being angry at their ex.
    Other red flags include announcing that you're still healing from a breakup, immediately demanding a soulmate, and describing yourself with generic phrases like "I enjoy food, movies, and traveling."
    Congratulations.
    You enjoy being alive.
    Very unique.
    The gang's advice is to keep things specific, positive, and conversational.
    Give people something interesting to respond to.
    And maybe save your unresolved emotional baggage for a conversation that doesn't begin with a profile picture.
    This is the kind of romantic wisdom you simply cannot get from ordinary comedy podcasts.
    Mostly because ordinary people would've moved on from the grammar argument ten minutes ago.
    AI Writes Rizz a Dating Profile, and It's Brutal

    Then Lern decides to ask her AI assistant, Dale, to write a dating profile for Scott Rizzuto.
    And the results are spectacular.
    The opening headline?
    "Big personality, bigger opinions. Dad bod. Italian soul."
    Rizz is immediately concerned.
    It gets worse.
    The profile describes him as an Italian guy with a big heart, a big mouth, a love of cooking, and absolutely no problem expressing his opinions.
    So far, pretty accurate.
    Then comes the line that changes everything.
    "I'm not a gym rat. I'm more of a pasta rat."
    Pasta rat.
    Two words.
    One man's entire identity.
    Rafe immediately declares it a fantastic band name.
    Moon can't stop laughing.
    And Rizz is forced to admit that the description is painfully accurate.
    Dale also suggests dating headlines like "Olive Garden's Loss, Your Gain," "More Sauce Than Sense," and "I'm Not Yelling. This Is Just My Personality."
    Somewhere, a bowl of rigatoni just swiped right.
    Lern also shares her own AI-generated dating profile, which describes her as a professional talker, amateur therapist, unapologetic cat lady, and someone who can discuss deep philosophical questions before spending 20 minutes showing you pictures of her cats.
    Again, disturbingly accurate.
    The crew wonders whether everybody on dating apps is now using artificial intelligence to write essentially the same personality-filled introductions.
    Which means your next soulmate might actually be three paragraphs generated by a chatbot.
    Love in the modern age.
    Beautiful.
    Terrifying.
    And apparently sponsored by pasta.
    Stop Using Terrible Dating Profile Photos

    The dating discussion continues with another major complaint:
    Bad pictures.
    Blurry selfies.
    Photos from ten years ago.
    Group pictures where nobody can figure out which person owns the profile.
    And the classic photo featuring an ex who has clearly been cropped out.
    Rizz doesn't understand why anyone would use a picture with a former romantic partner in the first place.
    Lern explains that some of her single friends ask permission before including her in their dating profiles.
    Rafe is tired of playing detective whenever a profile contains four nearly identical people.
    And Moon wonders whether group pictures are sometimes deliberately designed to make someone look more attractive by comparison.
    Then comes the fishing photo debate.
    Apparently, one or two pictures holding a bass might be acceptable.
    Ten pictures?
    Sir.
    We understand.
    You own a fishing rod.
    Rafe suggests that men should stop posting endless pictures with their buddies, while Lern argues that a dating profile should reveal something beyond your ability to catch a fish.
    Naturally, the crew decides that Rizz should pose holding a single noodle.
    Because nothing says romance like an Italian man proudly displaying his latest catch.
    A Cochlear Implant Earring & One Last Fashion Debate

    The conversation takes one final unexpected turn when Lern remembers seeing someone wearing a dangling accessory attached to a cochlear implant.
    She thinks it's an awesome look with serious Lost Boys energy.
    The crew immediately starts brainstorming names for the accessory.
    And somehow, a genuinely cool fashion detail becomes another completely ridiculous wordplay competition.
    Because this is The Rizzuto Show.
    We can appreciate something and ruin the moment with a joke at the exact same time.
    Christmas Toys, LEGO Crimes & Dating App Disasters

    So what did we learn today?
    Tickle Me Elmo refuses to stay retired.
    LEGO sets are apparently valuable enough to inspire alleged crime sprees.
    French Montana and French Stewart are two completely different people.
    Finding love is statistically complicated.
    Bad grammar might be ruining your dating life.
    Your ex probably shouldn't appear in your profile pictures.
    And artificial intelligence has officially identified Rizz as a pasta rat.
    From St. Louis crime stories and nostalgic Christmas toys to dating advice, relationship red flags, AI-generated profiles, and sarcastic morning show chaos, this episode has everything you'd expect from Rizz and the gang.
    If you're browsing comedy podcasts on Apple Podcasts or Spotify looking for funny stories, daily humor, and pop culture commentary, you've found a crew that can turn a stolen LEGO set into a prison joke and a dating profile into an Italian food commercial.
    And among all the comedy podcasts competing for your attention, The Rizzuto Show remains one of the few places where somebody can be romantically described as "Olive Garden's Loss, Your Gain."
    Looking for a funny podcast with St. Louis personality and absolutely no shortage of opinions? This is your daily dose.
    Hit play for another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show.
    And remember:
    Proofread your dating profile, don't steal the Death Star, and never underestimate the romantic appeal of a pasta rat.

    Alfalfa's Vow of Poverty, 81 Acres & a GoFundMe

    11/09/2026 | 46 mins.
    What happens when a former child star takes a vow of poverty, owns 81 acres of land, has a sixth baby on the way, and starts a GoFundMe? Apparently, you get the most confusing financial plan since somebody decided to sell a $990 candle snuffer.
    Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, your favorite St. Louis funny podcast, where we investigate celebrity nonsense, question humanity's decision-making skills, and occasionally discover that the adults might actually be the problem.
    Rizz, Moon, Lern, Rafe Williams, and King Scott are back with another helping of daily comedy, weird news, celebrity gossip, and the kind of sarcastic humor that makes comedy podcasts a necessary public service.
    Today's episode features a Little Rascals star asking for financial assistance, an overprotective college mom who apparently thinks dorm rooms are daycare centers, the return of terrible headphones, and a celebrity gift guide designed specifically for people who have too much money and not enough supervision.
    And that's before Rafe gets threatened with a blind taste test.
    Alfalfa Takes a Vow of Poverty... and Starts a GoFundMe

    Remember Alfalfa from the 1994 movie The Little Rascals?
    The kid with the ridiculous hair and the legendary love letter to Darla?
    Well, former child actor Bug Hall is back in the headlines, and his current situation has the entire Rizz Show questioning how financial responsibility works.
    According to the story discussed on the show, Hall is living an off-grid homesteading lifestyle in rural Arkansas, raising five children with a sixth on the way, and asking for donations through GoFundMe to cover expenses before the new baby arrives.
    Oh, and he reportedly owns 81 acres of land.
    And he's taken a self-imposed vow of poverty.
    Naturally, the crew has questions.
    Lots of questions.
    Rizz wants to know why somebody would voluntarily take a vow of poverty and then immediately ask strangers for money.
    Moon wants to know why he can't afford 10 acres while this guy apparently has 81.
    Rafe wonders how a man who promotes traditional self-reliance reconciles that philosophy with crowdfunding.
    And Lern suggests that maybe, just maybe, there are other ways to make money when you used to be a recognizable child actor.
    Cameo, anyone?
    The conversation gets into Hall's past struggles, his public statements about family life, and the reported hardships behind his decision to leave Hollywood.
    The crew also acknowledges the difficult experiences Hall has described from his childhood acting career.
    But the central question remains:
    If you own 81 acres and need money, is selling a couple of acres really more unreasonable than asking the internet to pay your bills?
    It's an uncomfortable conversation wrapped in ridiculous jokes, which is pretty much the operating procedure around here.
    College Students Apparently Need Permission Slips Now

    Remember going away to college and finally experiencing independence?
    Well, one Michigan State mom apparently missed that part of the brochure.
    After students traveled to Ann Arbor for a football game against Michigan, a parent's message-board post questioned why the residence assistant hadn't sent home permission slips, verified transportation arrangements, or emailed parents to confirm their adult children had arrived safely.
    Yes.
    Permission slips.
    For college students.
    Rafe asks how an adult child could possibly be allowed to exercise free will without written parental approval.
    Lern imagines the embarrassment of having your mom interrogate the university because you attended a football game.
    And Rizz wonders whether parents have completely forgotten that college is supposed to involve growing up.
    The discussion spirals into hotel check-in ages, helicopter parenting, and whether an 18-year-old who can take out enormous student loans should also be trusted to ride in a car.
    The crew also debates hotel etiquette, including Lern's question about whether it's acceptable to leave takeout containers and pizza boxes outside your room when the hotel doesn't offer room service.
    A surprisingly civilized discussion.
    We were concerned too.
    Rafe Might Sweep the Football Picks... and Still Get Punished

    Meanwhile, King Scott's football picks apparently didn't save properly, which means he's facing the dreaded punishment wheel.
    Lern immediately suspects foul play.
    Rizz suspects somebody didn't double-check the submission.
    And Rafe is on the verge of a perfect week of picks.
    His reward?
    Absolutely nothing that would make a normal person happy.
    Because Rafe is also scheduled for a blind food taste test after a previous punishment, and he's convinced somebody is going to feed him something deeply regrettable.
    Rizz promises it's all human food.
    No dog food.
    No dangerous spice challenges.
    No surprises that require medical intervention.
    Which is exactly what somebody says right before things get weird.
    The crew also looks ahead to a visit from comedian Yakov Smirnoff, giving Rafe another opportunity to make jokes about Russian hospitality and questionable menu options.
    Wired Headphones Are Back Because Apparently Progress Was a Mistake

    Remember those thin, uncomfortable headphones that came with old Sony Walkman cassette players?
    The ones with foam ear cushions and sound quality that made every song feel like it was playing inside a soup can?
    They're making a comeback.
    Sony is reviving the retro look, and Rizz cannot understand why anyone would willingly return to outdated headphone technology.
    Lern explains that younger generations love physical media and nostalgia for things they never actually experienced.
    Rafe points out that wired headphones still have practical uses.
    And Moon appreciates the honesty of a product that basically promises to sound like it's decades old.
    Then Rizz plays an old Sony Walkman commercial and becomes convinced that Morgan Freeman narrated it.
    The crew investigates.
    Artificial intelligence gives conflicting answers.
    And somehow a simple headphone discussion becomes another reminder that technology has advanced just far enough to make everyone confidently wrong.
    Things get even more ridiculous when Rafe introduces a retro telephone handset that plugs into modern smartphones.
    Lern loves it.
    Rizz thinks it's completely impractical.
    Lern explains she has plenty of room in her bag.
    And suddenly we're debating whether carrying an enormous plastic phone receiver around in public is actually more convenient than just using the phone already in your pocket.
    The future is stupid.
    Taylor Swift, Michael Jackson & Celebrity Chaos

    Lern delivers another round of Crap on Celebrities, and the entertainment news is all over the place.
    Michael Jackson's Thriller climbs back up the charts following Halloween, inspiring the crew to compare its track listing to an unstoppable baseball lineup.
    Because if Thriller, Beat It, and Billie Jean are batting in the middle of your order, the opposing pitcher might as well go home.
    Queens of the Stone Age get some love for their latest music.
    Kanye West's massive concerts and surprise guests spark another round of celebrity discussion.
    Taylor Swift reunites publicly with St. Louis native Karlie Kloss, while a New York Knicks player draws attention for criticizing Swift's courtside fandom.
    Naturally, the Swifties get involved.
    The crew also discusses a Breaking Bad cast tribute, the possibility of a Gus Fring-focused prequel, and why fans would gladly watch just about anything set in that television universe.
    Meanwhile, Lern talks about Heated Rivalry, Moon recommends the horror series From, and Rafe reviews the bizarre body-horror movie Together.
    Nothing brings people together quite like discussing a movie where the characters literally start fusing into one another.
    Lamar Odom's OnlyFans & Gwyneth Paltrow's Ridiculous Gift Guide

    Lamar Odom's new OnlyFans account reportedly brings in $50,000 in eight days, and the crew has entirely too many questions about what subscribers are actually paying to see.
    There are guesses.
    There are jokes.
    There are mental images nobody requested.
    And then Gwyneth Paltrow arrives to remind everyone that celebrity wealth is an entirely different species of financial nonsense.
    Her Goop holiday gift guide includes a crystal-infused water bottle, an expensive infrared therapy bed for dogs, and a $990 candle snuffer.
    Nine hundred and ninety dollars.
    To put out a candle.
    Rizz is understandably baffled.
    Rafe finds a way to turn the phrase "candle snuffer" into a criminal offense.
    And the crew wonders who is shopping for someone and thinking, "You know what Grandma needs? A luxury tool to extinguish a flame."
    Somewhere, a person is using two fingers and saving $990.
    That's the financial advice you can expect from comedy podcasts.
    St. Louis Humor, Weird News & the Daily Rizz Show Disaster

    The episode also includes LeBron James dealing with a bizarre alleged stalker, movie box-office updates, celebrity birthdays, a tribute to Three Stooges family history, and the crew remembering past guests like Lou Ferrigno.
    Plus, there's a detour into the supposed misfortunes of former Little Rascals actors, Rafe's experience with the Utah-BYU football rivalry, and the eternal question of whether adults should be allowed to make their own decisions without parental paperwork.
    From celebrity news and pop culture commentary to ridiculous products, retro technology, football picks, and a very questionable vow of poverty, The Rizzuto Show delivers another morning of funny stories and St. Louis entertainment chaos.
    If you're searching through comedy podcasts for a funny morning show that doesn't take itself seriously, you've found your people.
    And if you need a funny podcast where five adults can spend an unreasonable amount of time debating acreage, permission slips, and headphone cords, welcome home.
    Today's lessons are simple:
    Taking a vow of poverty probably shouldn't be your first financial strategy.
    College students don't need permission slips to attend football games.
    Old headphones are still old headphones, even when they're fashionable.
    And if you're paying $990 to extinguish a candle, congratulations. You might be the reason Goop exists.
    Hit play for another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show.

    The Three-Shrimp Scam, Utah Bobsleds & Kansas City BBQ Regrets

    11/09/2026 | 1h 18 mins.
    Rafe goes to Utah and discovers the surprisingly intimate world of Olympic luge, Rizz exposes a three-shrimp steakhouse conspiracy, and a Kansas City barbecue adventure ends with the most depressing compliment a chef could possibly receive. Comedy podcasts are the best.
    Everybody's back together on The Rizzuto Show, and apparently nobody had a normal weekend. Welcome to another episode of your favorite St. Louis funny podcast, where the road trips are unnecessarily complicated, the restaurant complaints are extremely specific, and the crew can turn three pieces of shrimp into a full-blown consumer investigation.
    Rizzuto, Moon Valjean, Lern, Rafe Williams, King Scott, and the gang are catching up on everything from Utah Olympic training facilities and fancy mountain dining to St. Louis concerts, small-town fundraisers, overpriced appetizers, Missouri highway construction, and one truly unfortunate Kansas City barbecue experience.
    It's daily comedy, funny stories, local entertainment, and the kind of conversational chaos that reminds you why comedy podcasts exist in the first place. Because apparently people need somewhere to discuss the financial injustice of shrimp cocktail.
    Rafe Goes to Utah and Almost Becomes an Olympic Bobsledder

    Rafe Williams returns from Park City, Utah, with stories from the U.S. Olympic training facilities, where he got an up-close look at bobsledding, luge, skeleton, and the athletes who willingly launch themselves down icy tracks at ridiculous speeds.
    Rafe originally hoped to ride in a bobsled himself, but the track was unavailable because the U.S. team was practicing.
    Imagine having your vacation plans ruined by actual Olympians.
    Fortunately, he still gets a tour, meets an enthusiastic young Olympic hopeful, learns about the massive cost of maintaining the icy track, and discovers that bobsled athletes might actually be his people.
    Then the crew starts discussing doubles luge.
    Specifically, the seating arrangements.
    And who's on top.
    And who's steering.
    And why anyone would volunteer to go 90 miles an hour with another person lying directly on them.
    Suddenly, Olympic sports sound a lot less like athletic competition and a lot more like something that shouldn't be discussed before breakfast.
    Rafe also shares his experiences dining at fancy mountain restaurants, including a ride on a funicular and dinner inside a heated glass dome.
    Naturally, nobody can say "funicular" without turning it into a joke.
    Somewhere in Utah, a perfectly respectable resort is wondering why its transportation system has become morning radio material.
    Moon Rocks DeSoto, Missouri

    While Rafe is living the luxurious mountain lifestyle, Moon Valjean is spending his weekend in DeSoto, Missouri, playing a fundraiser with The Dirtbags for the Mel Bay Foundation.
    The event supports music education, music history, and music therapy, and Moon comes away impressed by the community's enthusiasm.
    The crowd includes everyone from young kids experiencing their first rock show to older attendees who may have been slightly less prepared for the volume.
    But by the end, the place is rocking.
    Moon starts making the case that DeSoto could become a great destination for more live music and entertainment.
    Lern immediately pitches a dirty soda business called "Da Soto."
    And Rizz, who admits he's never actually visited, somehow feels qualified to explain what the people of DeSoto want.
    Classic.
    The conversation also takes a detour into Missouri and Illinois towns sharing the same names, the confusion of multiple O'Fallons, and whether anybody should still be getting lost now that practically every phone has GPS.
    Rizz has strong feelings about people who drive slowly because they don't know where they're going.
    Moon remembers touring with printed MapQuest directions.
    And Lern explains why Innsbrook can still feel like a cellular dead zone.
    Remember folding a paper road map?
    Neither does anybody under 30.
    St. Louis Food, Concerts & the Flyover Comedy Festival

    Lern's weekend includes a trip to O+O Pizza in Webster Groves, where the whipped goat cheese appetizer makes a serious impression.
    She also checks out the renovations at West County Center, including the upcoming Cheesecake Factory, before heading to the Three Days Grace and I Prevail concert at Enterprise Center.
    I Prevail earns some major praise from Lern, who thinks their energy might have stolen the show.
    The crew discusses Three Days Grace performing with two lead singers, Adam Gontier and Matt Walst, and the challenges of balancing both voices onstage.
    Meanwhile, Rafe is getting ready for the Flyover Comedy Festival in the Delmar Loop, with dozens of shows, hundreds of comedians, and multiple walkable venues.
    Moon is excited about local live music.
    Lern is excited about concerts and restaurants.
    Rafe is excited about comedy.
    And Rizz is about to explain why steakhouses are committing crimes against basic arithmetic.
    The Great Three-Shrimp Scam

    Rizz visits Sam's Steakhouse in South County and genuinely enjoys himself.
    The restaurant looks beautiful.
    The steak is excellent.
    The creamed spinach is delicious.
    The whipped sweet potatoes are fantastic.
    He even discovers Tucker's steak sauce and admits it's pretty great.
    So naturally, he spends most of the conversation complaining.
    His issue?
    Three shrimp for $16.
    Not four.
    Three.
    According to Rizz, this is no accident. It's a calculated steakhouse conspiracy designed to force a table of four people into ordering additional shrimp.
    Why would anybody serve an appetizer with exactly three pieces when four people are sitting at the table?
    Rizz knows what's happening.
    He's onto them.
    He sees the racket.
    Lern points out that the shrimp are enormous.
    Rafe reminds him that scallops and other appetizers come in odd quantities too.
    Moon starts analyzing the economics of steakhouse side dishes.
    But Rizz will not be silenced.
    The man has rules.
    Don't pay for the bone.
    Don't fall for the shrimp scam.
    And don't trust a man in a bow tie.
    The crew also debates ribeye versus prime rib, Pittsburgh-style steak, baked potatoes, and whether Rizz's decision to skip a regular potato in favor of creamy vegetables really counts as healthy eating.
    He still gives Sam's Steakhouse an A.
    Apparently, the only thing standing between the restaurant and an A+ is one additional shrimp.
    This is exactly the kind of deeply important investigative journalism you've come to expect from comedy podcasts.
    Rizz Goes to Kansas City and Immediately Regrets the Barbecue

    Rizz and his wife head to the Kansas City area to watch their daughter's high school cheer competition.
    First obstacle?
    Interstate 70.
    Construction.
    More construction.
    And then, just when the traffic finally starts moving, another construction zone.
    The drive takes nearly four hours, giving Rizz plenty of time to develop opinions about Missouri road planning despite admitting he doesn't know anything about infrastructure.
    Eventually, they arrive at Park Hill South High School, where Rizz is genuinely impressed by the campus and facilities.
    And there's good news: Lafayette takes first place in the cheer competition.
    A proud dad moment.
    A successful trip.
    Everything is going great.
    Then they decide to get barbecue.
    They're in Kansas City, after all. The city is famous for it.
    What could possibly go wrong?
    Apparently, quite a bit.
    With time to kill before the next cheerleading event, Rizz and his wife choose a barbecue restaurant based on its strong online reviews.
    The experience starts awkwardly.
    The food is worse.
    Rizz describes dry brisket, strange-looking ribs, and an overall meal that leaves him questioning everything he thought he knew about Kansas City barbecue.
    Then the chef approaches the table.
    And asks how everything tastes.
    Oh, no.
    Rizz doesn't want to be rude.
    He also doesn't want to lie.
    So he offers the safest compliment he can think of:
    "The corn's good."
    That's it.
    That's the review.
    Afterward, his wife informs him that the creamed corn was apparently canned corn mixed with Velveeta.
    Which means the best thing Rizz can say about his Kansas City barbecue dinner is that somebody successfully combined two grocery store products.
    The crew absolutely destroys him for it.
    Moon questions the online reviews.
    Lern wants him to name the restaurant.
    Rafe offers suggestions for politely telling a chef that the brisket has the moisture content of packing material.
    Rizz refuses to publicly identify the place.
    But he makes one thing clear: he was not impressed.
    And after spending nearly four hours driving through Missouri construction to get there, he probably would've appreciated at least one decent rib.
    Restaurant Reviews, Road Trips & Completely Unnecessary Arguments

    What starts as a weekend recap becomes an investigation into how people choose restaurants, whether online ratings can be trusted, why steakhouse appetizers come in suspicious quantities, and how a city famous for barbecue can still produce a meal that disappoints a hungry St. Louis radio host.
    There's also plenty of love for local businesses, music education, live entertainment, and the small communities that make Missouri worth exploring.
    From Olympic bobsled training and fancy Utah restaurants to DeSoto rock shows, Three Days Grace, the Flyover Comedy Festival, South County steakhouses, and Kansas City barbecue regrets, this episode delivers the unpredictable mix of St. Louis humor, weird observations, and sarcastic conversation that makes The Rizzuto Show a daily favorite.
    If you're looking through comedy podcasts for funny morning show stories, entertainment talk, and a crew that can spend an unreasonable amount of time debating shrimp, you've come to the right place.
    And if you're searching for a funny podcast with real St. Louis personality, Rizz and the gang have you covered.
    Just remember the lessons of today's show:
    Never underestimate an Olympic athlete.
    Never trust a steakhouse serving three shrimp.
    And if the chef asks how your barbecue tastes, you'd better have something nicer to say than "the corn's good."
    Hit play for another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show.
    Because the shrimp might be overpriced, but the complaints are absolutely free.

    DAILY SHOW: Rizz Is Super Clean But Smells Like Garlic Bread | THE RIZZUTO SHOW COMEDY PODCAST

    11/06/2026 | 2h 54 mins.
    Rizz gets his own garlic bread-scented soap, accidentally turns a free dinner into a $20 parking violation, and celebrates his birthday while Florida Man continues doing things that should probably be illegal in several additional states.
    Welcome to another completely ridiculous edition of The Rizzuto Show, the St. Louis funny podcast where the food is questionable, the celebrity news is even more questionable, and Moon Valjean is somehow allowed to give people advice during a trivia game.
    Rizzuto, Moon Valjean, Lern, King Scott, and the gang are back with a massive helping of daily comedy, weird news, rock music nostalgia, celebrity gossip, gaming chaos, St. Louis entertainment, and the kind of conversations that make comedy podcasts the perfect way to avoid thinking about your actual responsibilities.
    Today's menu includes garlic bread body soap, a husband who mistakes spaghetti sauce for chili, GTA 6 threatening to devour your gaming console, Florida Man headlines involving frozen ribs and live turtles, a downtown St. Louis food hall, a parking ticket nobody can stop arguing about, and a 97-year-old man whose final birthday party features the most ironic Bee Gees soundtrack imaginable.
    And somehow, that's still not everything.
    Happy Birthday, Rizzy! Now Please Smell Like Garlic Bread

    It's Rizz's birthday, and apparently the universe has decided that the best way to celebrate is by turning him into a walking Italian restaurant.
    Anthony and Christina Baer from Barenaked Naturals send the crew handmade tallow soaps, including a full year's supply of a special custom scent created just for Rizz.
    Naturally, everybody starts guessing what Scott Rizzuto should smell like.
    Moon suggests lasagna.
    Lern goes with tiramisu.
    Someone suggests the streets of New York, which apparently smell like cigarette dust, garbage, and sewer steam.
    All reasonable choices.
    But the big reveal?
    Garlic bread.
    That's right. Rizz now owns enough garlic bread-scented soap to shower like an Olive Garden appetizer for the foreseeable future.
    The crew passes it around, and everybody is genuinely surprised by how realistic it smells.
    Lern says it has a nice floral finish.
    Moon is impressed by the intensity.
    Rizz accepts his destiny as an Italian stereotype with excellent personal hygiene.
    And somewhere, a vampire just canceled its plans to visit St. Louis.
    Spaghetti Sauce Is Not Chili, Sir

    Speaking of questionable Italian cuisine, Rizz shares a viral story about a husband who completely misunderstands dinner.
    His wife prepares spaghetti and sauce.
    The husband sees a bowl of chunky red food.
    He eats the entire thing.
    And only after finishing does he ask whether it was chili.
    It was not chili.
    It was spaghetti sauce.
    The pasta was right there.
    The crew immediately starts debating whether this is actually understandable.
    Moon argues that sometimes you see food and simply begin eating it.
    Lern thinks chunky sauce could easily pass for soup.
    Rizz wonders how many other husbands are wandering around their kitchens eating ingredients that were never intended to be separate meals.
    It's the kind of everyday stupidity that keeps comedy podcasts in business.
    No scandal required.
    Just one hungry man and a complete misunderstanding of how pasta works.
    Rafe's Blind Taste Test Might Require Medical Supervision

    Then the gang remembers that Rafe lost the NFL Pick 'Em challenge.
    And because this is The Rizzuto Show, the punishment isn't simply admitting defeat.
    It's eating mystery food while blindfolded.
    The crew begins planning Tuesday's blind taste test, and the suggestions are already concerning.
    Rizz wants to establish some ground rules.
    Nothing dangerous.
    Nothing excessively spicy.
    No onions.
    And preferably nothing that's going to require an emergency room visit.
    Lern, meanwhile, has decided to focus on texture.
    Which might be the most terrifying thing anybody says all morning.
    Moon wonders whether combining multiple ingredients would be allowed.
    Rizz reminds everyone that Rafe actually needs to identify what he's eating.
    Then somebody starts discussing frozen raw chicken.
    Absolutely not.
    The best part is that comedy legend Yakov Smirnoff is expected to visit the studio that same morning.
    Rizz thinks it would be hilarious to let Yakov feed Rafe during the challenge.
    Imagine traveling to St. Louis for a radio interview and discovering you've been recruited to administer a mystery-food punishment.
    What a country, indeed.
    Florida Man Is Back, and He's Brought a Turtle

    Next up, it's time for Fake News or Florida, the listener game where the headlines are so ridiculous that even the made-up ones sound believable.
    Callers compete for tickets to see Three Days Grace, Wage War, 311, and Alter Bridge.
    The challenge?
    Determine which bizarre stories actually came from Florida and which ones Lern invented.
    The lineup includes a man allegedly throwing guacamole at his wife during an argument about chips, somebody attempting to pay for fast food with a live turtle, a woman using a toaster as a weapon during a laundromat dispute, and a man riding a motorized cooler down an interstate.
    Then things get worse.
    A store clerk allegedly gets hit with a frozen rack of ribs.
    A man supposedly hides from police inside a commercial washing machine.
    A dog allegedly shifts a truck into gear and sends it crashing into a swimming pool.
    And somebody in Key West gets arrested while riding a motorized suitcase and enjoying a coconut cocktail.
    Honestly, at this point, Florida should just start issuing helmets at the state line.
    Moon Valjean: The Lifeline Nobody Should Trust

    The listeners have one major advantage during Fake News or Florida.
    They can ask Moon for help.
    Unfortunately, that's also their biggest disadvantage.
    Moon approaches every headline like a detective who has spent 30 years studying criminal behavior in the Sunshine State.
    He analyzes bird ownership expenses to determine whether somebody would steal a golf cart to walk a parrot.
    He questions whether Florida police would actually arrest someone riding a motorized cooler.
    He considers the geography of grocery store aisles when evaluating an alleged frozen-waffle attack.
    And then comes the motorized suitcase.
    Moon decides the coconut cocktail makes the story sound suspicious.
    Not the suitcase.
    Not the public roadway.
    The coconut.
    He confidently calls fake news.
    He's wrong.
    The caller loses.
    And Moon immediately explains that he can't be expected to do all the work for everybody.
    Lern would like to remind him that he was literally the lifeline.
    Eventually, Amanda wins Three Days Grace tickets, and the gang can finally stop pretending this is a legitimate test of critical thinking.
    If you've been browsing comedy podcasts hoping to hear a grown man explain why a coconut beverage invalidates an otherwise believable Florida arrest, congratulations.
    You have found your show.
    The Great Key Lime Pie Debate & National Nachos Day

    One fake Florida headline involves a woman allegedly calling 911 because her grocery store ran out of key lime pie.
    Naturally, the game comes to a screeching halt while everybody discusses dessert.
    Moon thinks key lime pie is a perfect introductory pie.
    Rizz considers it an acquired taste.
    Lern defends the tart, creamy combination and starts discussing whether she should bring one to Thanksgiving.
    Costco enters the conversation.
    So does the St. Louis favorite Tippin's.
    And somehow, the gang turns a fake emergency call into a surprisingly passionate pie discussion.
    Later, Rizz announces that it's National Nachos Day.
    Finally, a holiday worth celebrating.
    He shares the story of Ignacio “Nacho” Anaya, who created the original nachos in Mexico in 1943 by combining fried tortilla pieces, cheese, and jalapeños for a group of hungry customers.
    Lern is delighted to learn that nachos were named after an actual person.
    Moon suggests using an old saxophone as a nacho-serving container.
    Because apparently eating chips out of a normal bowl is too mainstream.
    The crew also discusses National Saxophone Day, National Jersey Friday, National Fountain Pen Day, and National Love Your Lawyer Day.
    But let's be clear.
    Nachos win.
    Nachos always win.
    GTA 6 Is Coming for Your Hard Drive

    The conversation shifts from food to gaming when Rizz discusses the enormous anticipation surrounding Grand Theft Auto VI.
    The crew talks about the reported November release date, preorder downloads, and the possibility that gamers will be skipping school or work to play.
    Rizz's son is already excited enough that a senior skip day comes up.
    But the real concern is the game's reported storage requirement.
    212 gigabytes.
    That's not a video game.
    That's a digital eviction notice.
    For somebody with a 500-gigabyte console, GTA 6 could take up a massive chunk of available storage.
    King Scott starts thinking about what he'll need to delete.
    Moon discusses gaming computers, hardware upgrades, and the differences between PC and console gaming.
    Lern admits she's completely out of the loop.
    And Rizz tries to understand why a video game now requires more storage than some people's entire digital lives.
    The crew also debates whether Rockstar even needs to advertise a game that practically everybody already knows about.
    One thing's certain.
    If GTA 6 lives up to the hype discussed on the show, productivity is going to take a serious hit.
    Peaches Come From a Can, and Apparently Nobody Remembers That

    Then it's time for a musical memory test.
    The crew revisits a viral-style trivia challenge involving classic song lyrics.
    Previously, the question was when Corey Hart wore his sunglasses.
    This time, it's about "Peaches" by The Presidents of the United States of America.
    Where do the peaches come from?
    Some people guess Georgia.
    Others vaguely remember the song.
    And several people who were alive during the band's heyday somehow can't remember the answer.
    Eventually, the gang lands on the famous canned-peaches lyric and launches into a nostalgic discussion of '90s alternative rock.
    Rizz remembers seeing the band live.
    Moon recalls playing on a bill with them in Phoenix during a wild storm.
    Lern wonders whether they were a one-hit wonder.
    And the guys immediately remind her that "Lump" exists.
    The conversation expands into They Might Be Giants, Ween, the Toadies, and the wonderfully weird bands that made '90s alternative rock such a strange and entertaining era.
    Back when songs could be about fruit and still become legitimate hits.
    Simpler times.
    Rizz Becomes a St. Louis Food Influencer

    Meanwhile, Rizz has officially entered the glamorous world of local food influencers.
    His destination?
    Wash Ave Food Hall at 1122 Washington Avenue, across from Flamingo Bowl in downtown St. Louis.
    Rizz brings his wife and son to a media preview featuring food samples, local restaurants, cameras, and enough social media content creators to make him feel completely out of place.
    Everybody else is filming themselves eating.
    Rizz just wants to eat.
    The food hall makes a great impression, with offerings including Detroit-style pizza, fried chicken bao buns, empanadas, Puerto Rican sandwiches, barbecue, and loaded fries.
    Steve Ewing is even there performing.
    Rizz genuinely loves the place and appreciates seeing something exciting happening downtown.
    Unfortunately, his influencer career hits a minor speed bump.
    And by speed bump, we mean a parking ticket.
    The Most Expensive Free Dinner in Downtown St. Louis

    Rizz finds an incredible parking spot directly in front of the food hall.
    A miracle.
    A blessing.
    The kind of downtown parking luck that makes a grown man believe the universe finally likes him.
    There's just one problem.
    He doesn't pay the meter.
    When he returns to his car, there's a $20 parking ticket waiting.
    Rizz pays it immediately.
    Case closed.
    Except Lern and Moon are horrified by his complete lack of rebellious spirit.
    Why didn't he fight it?
    Why didn't he challenge the ticket?
    Why didn't he turn this into a courtroom drama involving witnesses, evidence, and an emotional closing argument?
    Because he didn't pay the meter.
    That's why.
    The crew spends an impressive amount of time debating the injustice of a perfectly justified parking citation.
    Moon also manages to work in his passionate dislike of Clayton, Missouri.
    Because apparently no conversation about municipal government is complete without somebody declaring war on a St. Louis suburb.
    Free food.
    Twenty-dollar ticket.
    An hour of radio material.
    Honestly, that's a pretty solid return on investment.
    The Rizzuto Show Billboard, Halloween Weirdos & a Kansas City Road Trip

    Before the parking disaster, Rizz gets another look at The Rizzuto Show's downtown billboard near Union Station.
    The billboard features the crew alongside signatures from listeners who supported the Halloween Weirdo fundraiser benefiting Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital.
    The fundraiser brought in more than $20,000, and the gang gives another round of thanks to the local businesses and listeners who helped make it happen.
    The billboard looks fantastic.
    Everybody is impressed.
    And then the roasting begins.
    Rizz's teeth are apparently too white.
    His father's watch gets noticed.
    Somebody thinks the crew looks evil.
    And the gang spends more time analyzing their faces than celebrating the actual accomplishment.
    Which is very on-brand.
    Rizz is also preparing for a Kansas City road trip to watch his daughter compete in cheerleading.
    What should be a nice family outing quickly becomes a logistical nightmare as listeners warn him about construction on Interstate 70, Missouri football traffic, and the possibility of spending his entire Saturday staring at brake lights.
    The crew debates driving versus flying, cheer competition schedules, and the eternal frustration of attending an event where your kid performs for two minutes but the awards ceremony happens approximately six business days later.
    Parenthood.
    It's beautiful.
    And exhausting.
    Rush at the Sphere, Ozzfest & Celebrity Chaos

    Lern brings another round of Crap on Celebrities, and the entertainment news is all over the place.
    The crew discusses Rush's reported plans for a Las Vegas Sphere residency, the announced return of Ozzfest in 2027, and the endless debate over whether rock fans should be excited or angry about concerts they haven't even attended yet.
    There's also discussion of Vince Neil's longtime girlfriend and an alleged domestic dispute, plus Songwriters Hall of Fame nominees including Lady Gaga, Shakira, Pink, Sia, and Jack White.
    Then the gang gets into Bruce Springsteen's reported $500 million music catalog sale.
    Moon explains how music publishing deals work, why artists sell their catalogs, and how valuable royalty income can become.
    Rizz wonders what the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin catalogs might be worth.
    The conversation also revisits Michael Jackson's famous Beatles publishing deal.
    Because nothing says rock 'n' roll quite like a complicated financial discussion involving intellectual property.
    Dolly Parton, Alanis Morissette & Thanksgiving Movie Crimes

    The entertainment conversation keeps rolling with Alanis Morissette's holiday music, including contributions from Brandi Carlile and Steve Martin.
    Dolly Parton's Dolly on the Holly joins the seasonal merchandise conversation.
    Carson Daly gets some love as the crew discusses his career, with Moon sharing a personal memory of appearing on his late-night show.
    And then the gang gets into movies.
    Matt Damon's decision to pass on Ted.
    The ridiculous Matt Damon puppet from Team America: World Police.
    The inspiration behind Ron Burgundy from Anchorman.
    And the eternal greatness of Talladega Nights, Step Brothers, and other Will Ferrell classics.
    But the biggest controversy?
    A ranking of the best Thanksgiving movies that places Planes, Trains and Automobiles at number ten.
    Number ten.
    Meanwhile, Addams Family Values takes the top spot, and Son in Law gets an enthusiastic defense from Lern.
    Rizz is baffled.
    The crew debates whether these movies even qualify as Thanksgiving films.
    And somewhere, John Candy deserves an apology.
    Nurses' Confessions: Funny, Heartbreaking & Completely Unexpected

    The mood shifts when the gang discusses unusual confessions shared by nurses and healthcare workers.
    Some stories are touching.
    Others are shocking.
    One patient reportedly reveals a decades-old family secret involving a daughter he'd never met.
    Another man, believing he was dying, confesses to stealing his neighbor's newspaper every morning since 1988.
    Unfortunately for him, he survives.
    And now his neighbor knows.
    That's going to make taking out the trash awkward.
    Lern shares a personal family story about an adopted relative reconnecting with his biological family in Ireland.
    The crew also recognizes the incredible work nurses do and the emotional weight of caring for people during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
    It's a rare heartfelt conversation amid the usual chaos.
    Don't worry.
    The emotional maturity doesn't last.
    Vito's Final Dance: The Ultimate "Stayin' Alive" Send-Off

    And finally, there's Vito.
    A 97-year-old California man celebrates his birthday at a Halloween-themed party surrounded by friends, neighbors, and loved ones.
    He's dressed up.
    He's smiling.
    He's dancing.
    And the soundtrack is the Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive."
    Shortly after the song ends, Vito passes away.
    Yes.
    The irony is impossible to ignore.
    But underneath the dark humor is a surprisingly beautiful story about someone spending his final moments celebrating life.
    The crew debates whether that's actually the perfect way to go.
    Rizz prefers the idea of passing peacefully in his sleep.
    Lern thinks leaving the world after a wonderful celebration sounds pretty amazing.
    Moon starts examining the logistics of a dramatic final exit.
    And somehow, the conversation turns into a philosophical debate about how people want to be remembered.
    For Vito, the answer was disco.
    Rest in peace, Vito.
    Ninety-seven years, one final birthday celebration, and a send-off nobody there will ever forget.
    Garlic Bread, Florida Man & Another Day of Rizz Show Chaos

    So what did we learn from this massive episode?
    Rizz can now smell like garlic bread for an entire year.
    Spaghetti sauce is not chili.
    Florida Man apparently considers turtles a legitimate form of currency.
    Moon Valjean should never be trusted as a lifeline.
    Rafe's upcoming blind taste test may require a medical professional.
    Nachos were named after an actual guy.
    GTA 6 might require you to delete half your game library.
    Nobody remembers '90s song lyrics as well as they think.
    Free food can still cost twenty dollars.
    And if you're going to throw a final birthday party at 97, the Bee Gees are apparently an unforgettable soundtrack.
    From St. Louis food news and Florida Man headlines to rock music, celebrity gossip, gaming debates, weird stories, hilarious fails, and heartfelt moments, this funny podcast delivers everything you love about Rizz and the gang.
    Whether you're a longtime listener or searching through comedy podcasts on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, The Rizzuto Show brings a mix of daily humor, entertainment gossip, pop culture commentary, and completely unpredictable conversations.
    And among all the comedy podcasts out there, we're reasonably confident very few can connect garlic bread soap, frozen ribs, Grand Theft Auto, a parking ticket, and a disco farewell into one coherent experience.
    Actually, coherent might be pushing it.
