Moon's about to be humiliated on a busy St. Louis street, a college football player is catching heat for swatting a trainer, and Bill S. Preston, Esquire himself just walked into The Rizzuto Show. EXCELLENT!
Rizz, Moon Valjean, Lern, and Rafe Williams are back with another funny podcast packed with football drama, questionable punishments, St. Louis pride, Hollywood nostalgia, and one seriously unexpected celebrity guest.
First, Moon is preparing to pay the price for his football picks. His punishment? Spending an hour on Olive Boulevard outside the radio station wearing a ridiculous two-sided sandwich board designed by his own coworkers. Lern is heading to the craft store, the crew is debating the most embarrassing messages to put on it, and Moon won't know exactly what he's advertising until it's time to face morning traffic. Nothing says professional broadcasting like publicly humiliating your guitarist before breakfast.
Then the gang dives into a viral Duke football controversy involving cornerback Kamari Robinson, who was filmed swatting away a female athletic trainer while she was trying to assist an injured teammate. Rizz, Rafe, Lern, and Moon debate whether it was an emotional reaction in the heat of the moment or behavior that deserves more serious consequences. And when another video of a similar incident comes up, the conversation gets even more heated.
College talk continues with a ranking of America's best college towns. St. Louis and St. Charles make respectable appearances, while Columbia, Fayetteville, Ann Arbor, and other university towns spark a debate about campus life, affordability, and where the crew's kids might eventually end up. Because choosing a college is apparently stressful enough without your parents turning the rankings into a morning radio competition.
The listener emails bring another ridiculous question: Which celebrity should narrate your autobiography? Rizz picks Danny DeVito, Moon considers Woody Harrelson and Jeff Bridges, and Rafe suggests a rotating cast that includes Arnold Schwarzenegger and a few people who are no longer alive. The discussion somehow becomes an appreciation of Twins, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Gary Busey's wonderfully bizarre Halloween announcement.
But the biggest surprise of the day is waiting outside the studio door.
Alex Winter joins The Rizzuto Show!
The actor, director, and documentary filmmaker best known for Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and The Lost Boys stops by ahead of being honored at the St. Louis International Film Festival. And as it turns out, Alex has some serious St. Louis roots, having spent part of his childhood in University City.
The crew talks about his hometown memories, his filmmaking career, and his documentaries covering subjects like Frank Zappa, Napster, and Bitcoin. Alex also shares stories about directing music videos for Helmet and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, attending metal shows, and his love for practical movie effects.
Moon gets especially excited discussing Freaked, Alex's cult-classic comedy that he helped restore and rerelease. Meanwhile, the gang revisits The Lost Boys, Halloween costumes, and the incredible experience of watching those movies with a new generation.
There's even talk about Keanu Reeves, Dogstar, Nathan Fielder, Robert Pattinson, and the future of documentary filmmaking.
Naturally, Rizz decides this is the perfect opportunity to pitch Alex a few documentary ideas of his own.
Among the potential cinematic masterpieces? The history of speed bumps, the struggles of mayonnaise haters at fast-food drive-thrus, and the mysterious disappearance of Tupperware lids.
Hollywood, please start the bidding war immediately.
From football controversies and college-town rankings to celebrity audiobook fantasies and an unforgettable interview with Alex Winter, this funny podcast delivers everything you love about The Rizzuto Show: sarcastic humor, ridiculous stories, genuine conversations, and a group of grown adults who should probably not be trusted with poster board and craft supplies.
Join Rizz and the gang for another funny podcast from St. Louis, where Moon's punishment is public, the celebrity guests are legendary, and the documentary pitches are absolutely terrible.
Be excellent to each other. And if you see Moon standing on Olive Boulevard wearing a sandwich board, please honk. He earned it.
