Greek Fire is back after seven years, Lern has discovered Pokémon Go for actual cats, and Grand Theft Auto 6 might cost the economy a billion dollars. Just another perfectly normal morning with The Rizzuto Show.
Welcome to another episode of The Rizzuto Show, the funny podcast where St. Louis rock legends, celebrity gossip, ridiculous apps, and questionable financial decisions all share the same microphone. Rizz, Moon Valjean, Lern, Rafe Williams, and King Scott are back with a daily dose of comedy, weird news, entertainment updates, and enough sarcasm to make your morning commute slightly less miserable.
And today, we're celebrating something genuinely awesome: the return of Greek Fire!
After seven years without a full headlining show, Moon Valjean and Greek Fire returned to the stage at Delmar Hall for an incredible night of music, theatrical production, and some seriously emotional moments.
Moon breaks down the band's massive 90-minute performance, complete with multimedia visuals, multiple acts, costume changes, and brand-new music from their upcoming record. The crew shares their favorite moments, including the return of fan-favorite songs, an enthusiastic St. Louis crowd, and the impressive behind-the-scenes production team that helped bring everything together.
But the moment that really got Moon? Seeing his son in the audience, singing along and enjoying the music as an actual fan.
Yeah, we got emotional. Don't make it weird.
The show also helped support Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital, and Moon shares what's next for Greek Fire, including plans for new music and merchandise.
Of course, we can't stay sentimental forever. This is The Rizzuto Show, and somebody is always one conversation away from ruining a beautiful moment.
Enter Lern's latest obsession: Cat Collector.
Imagine Pokémon Go, except instead of hunting imaginary creatures, you're photographing actual neighborhood cats and building a digital collection of every feline you encounter.
There's a cat map. There are cat sightings. There are plans for cats with special powers.
And naturally, Lern is immediately interested.
The gang debates whether this is the greatest app ever invented for crazy cat ladies or a suspiciously efficient way to locate everybody's pets. There's also the small matter of a $35 annual subscription.
Will Lern pay for the privilege of collecting cats she doesn't own? Will Moon finally find his elusive Maine Coon? And how long before somebody turns a harmless cat app into a full-blown neighborhood surveillance operation?
Meanwhile, Grand Theft Auto 6 is apparently preparing to become more than a video game. It's becoming an economic event.
The crew discusses a prediction that roughly 1.5 million Americans could skip work when the game launches, potentially costing businesses a billion dollars in lost productivity. They also marvel at the game's enormous reported development budget and the rumors that Rockstar Games offered Daft Punk an open checkbook to reunite for the soundtrack.
Daft Punk reportedly said no.
Imagine having so much money that somebody offers you practically unlimited cash and your response is basically, "Nah, we're good."
Must be nice.
Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, where the entertainment world once again proves that fame doesn't automatically come with common sense.
Lern brings the latest on Mötley Crüe's Las Vegas residency, Vince Neil's health history, and whether Moon should just take over lead vocals. Taylor Swift is back in the headlines after a reported awkward encounter with a fan filming her at a Kansas City Chiefs game, prompting a debate about celebrity privacy, superstar status, and whether fame eventually becomes bigger than the music itself.
The crew also discusses Dominic Fike's older song finding new life on TikTok, possible future episodes of Ted Lasso, and rumors involving Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein.
Yes, Roy Kent and J.Lo.
Lern is concerned. Moon is concerned. Everybody seems concerned.
Somebody should probably check on Roy.
Things get even stranger with a tour of supposedly haunted country music landmarks, including Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, Graceland, and places rumored to have some very famous ghosts hanging around.
Because apparently even Elvis can't get a little peace and quiet.
The gang also discusses serious allegations in Halle Berry's ongoing custody dispute, Eric Dane's memoir and reflections on his struggles with addiction and ALS, and remembers the late Office Space actor Richard Riehle by revisiting the legendary Jump to Conclusions Mat.
And just when you think the entertainment news is finished, the entire studio gets into an argument over the greatest cartoon villains of the 1980s.
Megatron. Skeletor. Cobra Commander. Shredder. Hordak.
Who deserves the top spot? Who got robbed? And how did a conversation about cartoon villains become something these grown adults are genuinely passionate about?
Because nostalgia is a powerful drug, apparently.
Throw in the crew's opening debate about pretzels versus mangoes as acceptable radio snacks, some truly questionable celebrity birthday trivia, and a preview of their Facebook Marketplace version of The Price Is Right, and you've got another wonderfully unhinged morning in St. Louis.
Whether you're here for Moon's Greek Fire comeback, Lern's descent into cat-collecting madness, the latest pop culture commentary, or the ongoing spectacle of five adults arguing about things that absolutely do not matter, this funny podcast has something for you.
So grab your coffee, put down the pretzels before somebody hears you chewing, and join Rizz and the gang for another round of daily humor, funny stories, rock music, and entertainment chaos.
It's another episode of the funny podcast that proves St. Louis mornings are anything but boring.
And seriously, if you see Lern wandering through your neighborhood taking pictures of cats, don't panic.
She's just leveling up.
