The Rizzuto Show | Daily Comedy PodcastShow Notes
A naked man takes a stroll through a Missouri nature preserve, a three-year-old soccer superstar gets benched, and his parents somehow turn a children's soccer game into a police matter. Welcome to Tuesday on The Rizzuto Show, where the kids might actually be the most responsible people in the room. Rizz, Moon Valjean, King Scott, Lern, and Rafe Williams are back with another funny podcast full of weird news, St. Louis stories, terrible parenting decisions, internet slang, and conversations that absolutely did not need to get this personal before breakfast. King Scott got a yellow card on the show today and spun the wheel after losing this week's Pickem Challenge. What punishment will he serve? Is hooking up with a ghost technically cheating? And what if that ghost happens to be a former First Lady? Welcome to The Rizzuto Show, where a perfectly normal conversation about the paranormal somehow turns into an investigation of George Washington's marriage. Things get weird immediately when Rizz asks the crew whether they know anyone who's had a romantic encounter with a ghost. Because apparently that's a completely reasonable question to ask your coworkers before breakfast. Lern recalls a particularly memorable dream involving a pilgrim—or possibly the Quaker Oats guy—while Moon shares a story about a tour bus driver who claimed to have an unexplained encounter in a hotel room. Then the conversation turns to celebrities who have claimed paranormal experiences, including Dan Aykroyd and Kesha, and suddenly the entire studio is debating the rules of supernatural infidelity. If you're married and a ghost makes a move, does that count as cheating? What about a vampire? An alien? Does your wedding vow apply across dimensions? These are the important questions nobody asked, and naturally, The Rizzuto Show is determined to answer them. But the real disaster begins when someone brings up Mary Todd Lincoln and Martha Washington. What starts as a discussion about which historical First Lady might make an attractive ghost quickly becomes a completely unhinged comparison of presidential portraits. The crew notices a resemblance between George and Martha Washington, and before anyone can restore order, they're joking that the nation's first president and his wife might have been the same person. That's right. George Washington as his own First Lady. It's not an actual historical revelation, obviously. It's just the kind of ridiculous conspiracy theory that happens when four adults spend too much time staring at old paintings and not nearly enough time doing their jobs. Somewhere, a history teacher just threw a textbook across the room. Meanwhile, Lern delivers another round of Crap on Celebrities, and the entertainment world isn't making things any easier. Metallica's Las Vegas Sphere performances are causing a disagreement in the studio. Rizz and Lern think the band's professionally released concert footage might be spoiling the experience for fans who haven't attended yet. Moon isn't quite as convinced. Is watching an entire performance online before seeing it live the musical equivalent of reading the ending of a movie? The crew also discusses new music from The Flaming Lips, Noel Gallagher's surprisingly enthusiastic admiration for Matthew McConaughey, and the bizarre revelation that Gallagher once displayed a life-size cardboard cutout of the actor in his front window. That naturally leads to a conversation about the crew's own cardboard cutouts, including Rizz's habit of moving his around the house. Because apparently having a life-size version of yourself isn't unsettling enough unless you occasionally put it in bed. There's plenty more celebrity and pop culture commentary, including the crew's reaction to a reported Chris Brown legal case, a discussion of Jay-Z and the Super Bowl halftime show, and news involving Keanu Reeves, a Baywatch revival, and Sacha Baron Cohen's return to Ali G. Then it's time for some horror talk as the gang

What happens when the most laid-back wrestler in AEW meets a radio show full of grown men who believe jeans are survival equipment? Apparently, a beautiful friendship is born. And somebody might be getting a custom denim duster. AEW superstar Orange Cassidy joins Rizz, Moon Valjean, Lern, and Rafe Williams in the studio for another funny podcast packed with professional wrestling stories, questionable fashion advice, fast-food disasters, and injuries that will make you appreciate your boring office job. First up, the crew tackles one of the most controversial returns in fast-food history: the McRib is back! Orange Cassidy admits there's something strangely exciting about a sandwich that disappears and reappears whenever McDonald's feels like messing with everybody. Rizz thinks it's gross, Rafe loves it, and Lern introduces everyone to the horrifying sight of an unsauced McRib. Apparently, barbecue sauce isn't just a condiment. It's a disguise. Orange takes one look at the gray, suspiciously rib-shaped creation and immediately questions whether he wants it anywhere near his body. A perfectly reasonable response from a man who regularly gets thrown around a wrestling ring. Then the conversation turns to Orange Cassidy's true passion: denim. Jeans in the wrestling ring? Absolutely. Jeans on airplanes? Obviously. Jeans for practically every occasion? Why would anyone wear anything else? Orange explains why he prefers wrestling in denim, how modern stretchy jeans have changed the game, and why he considers the fabric a protective layer between himself and the rest of humanity. That's when Rafe Williams reveals his theory about airplane survival: if a plane crashes and the survivors need to elect a leader, nobody's choosing the guy wearing sweatpants and Crocs. They're choosing the man in jeans and work boots. Orange Cassidy agrees so enthusiastically that Rafe may have finally found his soulmate. And the denim bonding doesn't stop there. Rafe tells the tragic story of his teenage attempt to reinvent himself with a full-length, acid-wash denim duster. What was supposed to be a legendary fashion statement became a school-day disaster when an upperclassman tore the coat apart almost immediately. Orange is genuinely impressed. The two start discussing matching denim dusters, water skiing in jeans, and the possibility of Lern's mom making custom outfits. Somewhere, Levi's marketing department is wondering why nobody invited them. The crew also gets into Orange Cassidy's famously relaxed wrestling persona. While other wrestlers scream, flex, and cover themselves in body oil, Orange prefers to keep things simple, move at his own pace, and occasionally wrestle with his hands in his pockets. He even reveals a backstage wrestling secret: some performers use conditioner to keep their hair looking wet during matches. Meanwhile, Orange's hair apparently looks fantastic without any effort, which Lern finds personally offensive. Then things take a much more painful turn. Orange Cassidy opens up about some of the worst injuries of his professional wrestling career, including a separated shoulder, a torn pectoral muscle, a broken leg, and a devastating facial injury. He describes getting kneed in the face, breaking the orbital bone and sinus area, and experiencing a frightening amount of bleeding afterward. He also recalls a shoulder injury that required medical professionals to pull his arm back into position. Suddenly, the guy wrestling in jeans doesn't seem quite so ridiculous. Orange also talks about the nonstop schedule of professional wrestling, life on the road, and why he genuinely enjoys living out of a suitcase. With AEW operating year-round, his rare extended breaks have mostly come courtesy of injuries. Not exactly the vacation package anybody wants. The conversation gets musical when Orange explains the inspiration behind his entrance themes, Jefferson Starship's "Jane" and the Pixies' "Where Is My Mind?" His original connection to "Ja
Is hooking up with a ghost technically cheating? And what if that ghost happens to be a former First Lady? Welcome to The Rizzuto Show, where a perfectly normal conversation about the paranormal somehow turns into an investigation of George Washington's marriage. Rizz, Moon Valjean, Lern, and Rafe Williams are back with another funny podcast packed with supernatural relationship questions, wildly questionable American history theories, rock news, celebrity gossip, and the kind of morning show chaos that makes you wonder whether anyone checked the microphones before turning them on. Things get weird immediately when Rizz asks the crew whether they know anyone who's had a romantic encounter with a ghost. Because apparently that's a completely reasonable question to ask your coworkers before breakfast.

Then it's time for some horror talk as the gang tries to identify the greatest Stephen King books, debating classics like The Shining, Carrie, Pet Sematary, Misery, and Salem's Lot. The conversation somehow becomes a competition to remember book titles, movie adaptations, and whether anybody actually knows what they're talking about. The episode also includes a heartfelt shoutout to the show's video guy Zane, who recently g
A naked man takes a stroll through a Missouri nature preserve, a three-year-old soccer superstar gets benched, and his parents somehow turn a children's soccer game into a police matter. Welcome to Tuesday on The Rizzuto Show, where the kids might actually be the most responsible people in the room. Rizz, Moon Valjean, King Scott, Lern, and Rafe Williams are back with another funny podcast full of weird news, St. Louis stories, terrible parenting decisions, internet slang, and conversations that absolutely did not need to get this personal before breakfast. First up, a 32-year-old High Ridge man is facing a sexual misconduct charge after allegedly walking completely naked along a trail at a Missouri nature preserve. A witness reportedly photographed both the man and his vehicle, giving investigators more evidence than anyone ever wanted to collect during a peaceful outdoor walk. Naturally, this sends the crew into a completely unnecessary investigation of classic trench-coat flashers, New York City subway experiences, Seinfeld, and the apparently universal question of what kind of coat a person wears when they're planning to ruin somebody else's afternoon. Lern shares stories about women encountering unwanted public exposure, while the guys somehow manage to turn the entire conversation into a debate about trench-coat fashion. Somewhere, a park ranger is reconsidering their career. Then things get even more ridiculous when a three-year-old soccer phenom named Nevada becomes the center of a viral youth sports controversy in Winter Park, Florida. According to the story discussed on the show, Nevada was so talented that he was dominating games against five-year-olds. The league tried to give other children a chance to play, his parents reportedly became disruptive, and police were eventually called. To be clear, the police weren't called because a toddler was too good at soccer. They were called over the adults' behavior. Which is somehow both reassuring and incredibly depressing. The crew debates whether Nevada deserves tougher competition, whether the league handled things properly, and why some parents treat instructional soccer like the World Cup final. Moon and Rizz share their own youth sports horror stories, including parents screaming at coaches, games interrupted by police, and one particularly memorable adult allegedly showing up with a briefcase full of bricks. A briefcase. Full of bricks. And people wonder why youth sports need security. The discussion also takes a surprisingly wholesome turn when Scott spots a group of neighborhood teenagers playing the classic game of ding-dong ditch. Instead of getting angry, he's delighted to see that kids still know how to cause a little harmless mischief without turning it into a social media challenge. Rafe remembers neighborhood dads who made Halloween pranks more entertaining by dressing as scarecrows and chasing kids around, while Rizz recalls sitting in his driveway dressed as a giant white rabbit. Because nothing says childhood memories quite like a grown man in a bunny suit. Meanwhile, Dictionary.com's Word of the Year sparks another generational crisis when the gang tries to understand the internet slang term maxing. From looksmaxing to sleepmaxing, apparently everything now needs to be optimized to an absurd degree. That leads to arguments about whether saying somebody "ate" is a compliment, whether "lit" is officially dead, and what exactly the infamous Gen Z stare is supposed to communicate. The crew realizes they're becoming the adults who need teenagers to explain the English language to them, and nobody is handling it particularly well. But beneath all the jokes, the show also digs into a more serious topic: bigorexia, or muscle dysmorphia, and the growing pressure on young men to build bigger, more muscular bodies. Rizz and Lern discuss how social media, fitness influencers, gym culture, and unrealistic body expectations can affect teenagers. The crew shares stori
A man addicted to humping the air, a football punishment that could leave somebody barefoot for a week, a desperate search for a leather codpiece, and a scientific discovery that might change how you handle a stuffy nose. Welcome to The Rizzuto Show, where the conversations are ridiculous and the HR department has officially stopped returning our calls. Rizz, Moon Valjean, Lern, and Rafe Williams are back with another funny podcast packed with weird news, embarrassing personal stories, relationship chaos, St. Louis sports, and enough questionable decisions to make you wonder how this morning show is still legally allowed to operate. First up, the crew discovers Dexter Mims Jr., a man featured in a viral video who claims he's addicted to humping the air. Yes, the actual air. Apparently, Mother Nature provides everything he needs, and an open freezer might be his idea of a romantic getaway. Rafe insists the bizarre My Strange Addiction segment is real, while Rizz and Moon are convinced they're watching an elaborate comedy sketch. Either way, the gang has approximately a thousand questions, and none of them should be asked on the radio. Then it's time for Sexy Time Fun Facts, where researchers claim romantic relationships generally fall into four categories: on-again/off-again couples, drama-filled couples, social butterflies, and couples who focus almost entirely on each other. Naturally, this turns into a therapy session nobody requested. Rizz admits that sarcastic bickering is practically a love language in his marriage, while the crew swaps stories about couples who fight so aggressively in public that everyone else at the dinner table starts looking for an emergency exit. If you've ever been trapped in a car with a couple that breaks up and gets back together before the next gas station, congratulations. You know exactly what we're talking about. Meanwhile, the NFL Pick'em Punishment Wheel is preparing to destroy another member of the show. After Moon's humiliating sandwich-board punishment on Olive Boulevard, King Scott is dangerously close to spinning the wheel himself. Possible consequences include a truck-stop makeover, karaoke, and the horrifying No Shoes Week, where the loser has to walk barefoot around the radio station. Including the bathrooms. Because apparently regular embarrassment wasn't enough, and now we're experimenting with athlete's foot. Speaking of questionable life choices, Rizz returns from a whirlwind trip to Los Angeles for his buddy Woody's surprise 50th birthday party. The celebration was great. The airports? Not so much. Packed Southwest flights, passengers standing up the second the plane lands, people fighting to make connecting flights, and a $28 airport salad have Rizz questioning the future of air travel. The gang debates airplane etiquette, aisle seats, and why everyone suddenly thinks they're entitled to exit the plane before the people sitting in front of them. It's basically a flying metal tube full of people who have forgotten how lines work. Back in St. Louis, Moon has something to celebrate for once! His daughter's high school football team finally wins a game on Senior Night, delivering an emotional moment for a proud cheer dad who has spent years watching the squad perform in front of increasingly empty stands. There are touchdowns, a huge celebration, and a near field-storming situation. Moon is thrilled, the kids are ecstatic, and the rest of the crew is trying to figure out whether one victory qualifies as a championship parade. Lern also returns from a women's wellness retreat in Innsbrook, where yoga, breathwork, sound bowls, journaling, emotional breakthroughs, and an unexpected shirtless spectator across the lake make for a weekend the guys absolutely refuse to let her describe peacefully. She went looking for inner peace. She returned to a room full of men determined to ruin it. Then there's Rafe Williams and the Great Leather Codpiece Quest. Rafe needs a very specific piece of
A man claims he's addicted to humping the air, scientists say your relationship fits into one of four categories, and apparently there's a much more entertaining way to clear a stuffy nose. Welcome to The Rizzuto Show, where even medical research needs an HR warning. Rizz, Moon Valjean, Lern, and Rafe Williams are back with another funny podcast packed with bizarre addictions, relationship disasters, questionable science, and conversations that absolutely should not happen before most people have finished their coffee. First up, the crew discovers Dexter Mims Jr., a 48-year-old man featured in a viral clip who claims he's addicted to humping the air. Not people. Not furniture. The actual air. Apparently, Mother Nature is all the companionship he needs. The video appears to come from TLC's My Strange Addiction, but Rizz and Moon aren't buying it. Is this a legitimate reality television segment or an elaborate comedy sketch? Rafe insists it's real, the others point out suspiciously dramatic acting, and everybody agrees that watching a grown man get excited about cold air from a freezer is an experience you can't unsee. Then it's time for Sexy Time Fun Facts, where relationship researchers have supposedly narrowed the entire dating world down to four types of couples: on-again/off-again, drama-filled, social butterflies, and couples completely focused on each other. Naturally, the gang starts examining their own relationships. Rizz admits that he and his wife have turned sarcastic bickering into something resembling a competitive sport, while Lern and Moon share stories about couples whose public arguments made everyone else at the dinner table seriously consider an emergency exit. Ever been trapped in a car with a couple that breaks up and gets back together every fifteen minutes? Or watched two married people casually roast each other's entire romantic history over appetizers? Congratulations. You've experienced the kind of relationship chaos that keeps this funny podcast employed. And just when you think things can't get more uncomfortable, Rizz introduces a scientific study suggesting that reaching climax may temporarily relieve nasal congestion. That's right. Forget the tissues. According to the research discussed on the show, sexual activity may provide stuffy-nose relief comparable to a decongestant spray immediately afterward, although the benefit is temporary. Of course, Moon wants clarification on whether different methods produce different results. Lern starts questioning her own past experiences with congestion, and Rafe volunteers to conduct further research. He even starts planning a lab coat, a whiteboard, and a potential appearance on Shark Tank. Somewhere, an actual medical researcher is reconsidering every career decision they've ever made. It's weird television, dating disasters, embarrassing relationship stories, sarcastic humor, and scientific discoveries nobody should trust this crew to investigate. Another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show proves that love is complicated, reality TV is questionable, and sometimes the strangest conversations are the ones that leave you breathing a little easier.
