The Rizzuto Show | Daily Comedy Podcast

One minute you’re asleep. The next minute your bed is shaking, your dog is acting suspiciously innocent, and you’re laying there wondering if this is an earthquake or your body finally giving up on you. Welcome to adulthood — The Rizzuto Show edition.
In today’s funny podcast, the crew unpacks a real Midwest earthquake that rattled Southern Illinois and woke up Moon just long enough for him to realize he’s officially experienced his first natural disaster. Rizz isn’t sure if he felt it or if his dog was just scratching, Lern somehow slept through the entire thing like a professional, and suddenly everyone is Googling earthquake safety rules that apparently changed sometime after the 1990s.
This episode of the Rizz Show quickly spirals into full-on New Madrid Fault anxiety, including discussions about “the big one,” earthquake drills from childhood, and whether standing in a doorway was ever actually a good idea or just something schools made up to keep us calm.
Then the chaos shifts to airports, TSA, and the looming Real ID deadline. Rafe continues to proudly fly without a Real ID like it’s a personal protest against the federal government, gambling with TSA rules while the rest of the show prepares for the very real possibility that he gets stranded in Buffalo forever. February 1st is approaching, and the tension is real.
Along the way, the show tackles the weird parts of adulthood that still feel fake no matter how old you get — filing taxes, getting your first W-2, making doctor appointments without your mom, buying wine you don’t understand, and realizing that one day people start looking at you during emergencies instead of a more qualified adult.
Things get even more unhinged with questionable bathroom etiquette, public restroom design that raises red flags, airport pickpocket horror stories, and a deep dive into Maury Povich admitting he may have enjoyed emotionally terrorizing people with olives. Yes, that’s real.
Add in celebrity chaos, Ozzy Osbourne’s legendary animal-related headlines, John Mellencamp smoking an absolutely unreasonable amount of cigarettes, and debates about whether Oasis should release new music or stop while they’re ahead — and you’ve got a funny podcast that perfectly captures the anxiety, confusion, and comedy of being alive in 2026.
If you’ve ever felt unprepared for adulthood, natural disasters, or airport security… congrats. You’re exactly who this funny podcast is for.

AND FINALLY
There's a list online of movie facts that people commonly get wrong. Here are some highlights:
1. Robert Downey Jr. did not improvise the line "I am Iron Man". It's in the "Iron Man" script.
2. There isn't a DEAD munchkin hanging in the background "The Wizard of Oz". It's a bird, and you can see it move like a bird.
3. In "Titanic", Jack could physically fit on the door, but it wouldn't have supported him and Rose. The main point of the scene was Jack's sacrifice, not carpentry.
4. John Travolta's briefcase in "Pulp Fiction" does not have a secret meaning. Quentin Tarantino has said the glow is just for storytelling.
5. George Lucas did not plan "Star Wars" from the beginning. Darth Vader was not intended to be Luke's father when he made the first film.
6. Harrison Ford did not accidentally "shoot" the swordsman in "Raiders of the Lost Ark". It was planned. They wanted to simplify the scene by just having Indy end it with a quick bullet.

Green Day hits the Super Bowl, a waiter (maybe James?) becomes a legend, and a Rizz Show member fights for his life against Costco mango in today’s daily comedy show disaster.
Some episodes of The Rizzuto Show are informative.
Some are inspirational.
And then there are episodes like this.
The crew kicks things off debating Green Day’s Super Bowl involvement and immediately spirals into the eternal question: Why wasn’t Metallica involved since the game is in San Francisco and why does the NFL hate fun? From there, things escalate quickly.
Moon recounts a great St. Louis concert moment playing with Goldfinger over the weekend that somehow turned into a full-body emergency caused by too much dried mango, multiple encores, and the longest walk to a bathroom in music history.
Meanwhile, Rizz revisits Shawshank Redemption through dad-movie eyes, learning important lessons about friendship, hope, and never making eye contact with your kid while crying. Streaming prices are exposed as a scam, Predator gets redeemed, and Saved by the Bell’s caffeine pill episode is officially scarier than any anti-drug campaign ever created.
As if that wasn’t enough, the show dives into fake protein powder scandals, hot water becoming the new wellness trend, and Florida continuing to operate as its own genre of crime. Nails in roads. People hiding overnight in Walmart. Defecation as a defense strategy. All real. All discussed.

And then — redemption.
A waiter.
A steakhouse.
A man known only as "Maybe James."

This daily comedy show proves once again that the smallest moments — a good server, a decent steak, and not being aggressively weird — can restore faith in humanity. Somehow.
It’s another episode of The Rizzuto Show: a daily comedy show fueled by sarcasm, stories, and just enough chaos to keep you coming back tomorrow.

Poison’s 40th Anniversary Tour is Off: Bret Michaels Wanted a Huge Payday
Bad news for hair metal fans hoping to see Poison celebrate their big 4-0 this year: the tour has been scrapped.
The band had been teasing a 40th-anniversary reunion for 2026, with frontman Bret Michaels previously hyping up a "perfect" 40-date run. But according to drummer Rikki Rockett, the plans fell apart at the negotiating table.
The sticking point? Money.
Rockett revealed that while he, guitarist C.C. DeVille, and bassist Bobby Dall were all ready to sign, Michaels demanded a much bigger slice of the pie. Specifically, Rockett claims Michaels wanted about 600% more than the rest of the band—essentially $6 for every $1 the others would make.
"You just can’t work that way," Rockett said. He explained that while he loves playing, he doesn't want to work hard just to make someone else rich while he gets a fraction of the pay.
Is there bad blood?
Surprisingly, Rockett says no. He compared the situation to family, saying, "It’s like hating your parents." He insists he isn't fighting with Michaels, they just couldn't agree on the business side of things.
When asked if the band would consider touring with a replacement singer, Rockett shut it down, calling that a "last resort" and insisting there is no better frontman for Poison than Michaels.
What now?
For now, everyone is doing their own thing. Michaels has solo dates booked for 2026, and Rockett is touring with his side project, Rockett Mafia.
Rockett did joke that maybe they’ll try again next year, saying it would be a "perfect Poison folly" to do a 41st-anniversary tour instead.

The Rizzuto Show crew dives into some of the weirdest conspiracy theories people believe — from the Titanic being an insurance scam to Stevie Wonder “not actually being blind,” Avril Lavigne being replaced by a clone, Mattress Firm laundering money through identical strip malls, and Jay-Z possibly being a time-traveling vampire. None of it makes sense. All of it is discussed with confidence in this Rizz Show daily podcast.
Then reality gets even stranger. A man discovers his massive beer belly is actually a 77-pound tumor, setting a medical record nobody asked for. Another wakes up from surgery, suddenly fluent in Spanish thanks to a rare neurological condition that sounds fake but is terrifyingly real. The crew debates whether your brain secretly stores everything you’ve ever experienced — which might explain why this daily podcast exists in the first place.
Things escalate when a story about a family Uno game allegedly ends in a stabbing, proving once and for all that Draw Four cards should come with a warning label. Add in celebrity chaos, pop culture commentary, Disney movie trauma, moon hotels that shouldn’t exist, and a sneak peek at the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles spinoff "Lazy Entitled Millennial Monkeys" — and you’ve got a daily podcast episode that covers more ground than it should and answers none of the questions it raises.
Listen responsibly, WEIRDOS.
