Congratulations Fast Lane The Smallest Penis In The World | Escaped Monkeys, Rogue Sweet Potatoes, and the Tiniest Funny Podcast Record Jan 13, 2026

Show notes

A funny podcast that starts with loose monkeys in St. Louis and somehow ends with a man holding a tiny Guinness World Record.

Today’s episode begins like any normal St. Louis morning: the Steelers get obliterated, the Fast Lane picks are sealed in envelopes like it’s Watergate, and escaped monkeys are STILL running loose in North City while AI-generated monkey selfies completely derail law enforcement. Real monkeys. Fake photos. Zero answers.

Things only escalate from there. The crew debates whether the monkeys escaped from a lab, a zoo, or Jumanji itself, while also tracking a rogue goat wandering Union Boulevard like it’s late for brunch. Authorities say “do not approach.” The Rizz Show says “kiss it on the head so we know it’s real.”

Then comes the local chaos: Six Flags St. Louis might be sold, renamed, enchanted, or emotionally damaged — nobody knows. Will it survive? Will the kids survive summer without roller coasters? Or will boredom push society toward… darker paths?

Which brings us to a 61-year-old man, a seven-inch sweet potato, and the phrase “out of boredom” doing a lot of heavy lifting. Doctors try everything short of a Shop-Vac before resorting to surgery, inspiring several billion-dollar invention ideas and at least one name trademarked on the whiteboard.

And just when you think it can’t get more uncomfortable, meet the North Carolina man attempting to claim the Guinness World Record for the smallest penis in the world. A brutally honest, surprisingly heartfelt interview sparks real conversations about body image, masculinity, and why British morning TV should never be allowed near hand gestures.

Also in this funny podcast: Greg Warren lands a primetime ABC show, Sammy Hagar returns to St. Louis, Alamo Drafthouse angers everyone by making people use phones, and Rizz delivers a brutally honest rant about radio, podcast awards, and being one rung above a circus clown on the showbiz ladder.

If you like weird news, uncomfortable laughter, heartfelt moments wrapped in chaos, and a funny podcast that refuses to behave — congratulations, WEIRDO. You found your people.

NBC has pulled Thursday's episode of "Law & Order: SVU" because it features Timothy Busfield, who's facing child sexual abuse charges.

The U.S. Marshals Service has joined the Albuquerque Police Department in the search for actor and director Timothy Busfield, whose location remains unknown days after an arrest warrant was issued in a child sex abuse case.

Busfield faces two counts of criminal sexual contact with a minor and one count of child abuse in connection with alleged incidents involving 11-year-old twin boys who worked on the TV series The Cleaning Lady, authorities said.

The warrant was issued January 9th, and law enforcement has not yet taken Busfield into custody, a police spokesperson said. U.S. Marshals are assisting with locating and apprehending him.

Busfield, known for roles in The West Wing and Thirtysomething, has denied the allegations. His wife, actress Melissa Gilbert, has not commented publicly.

Kit Harington, known for his role as Jon Snow in Game of Thrones, expressed his anger over a fan petition demanding HBO remake the show's eighth and final season. https://www.superherohype.com/tv/647083-kit-harington-talks-idiocy-game-of-thrones-petition-over-ending

The Quad God: Dealing with Monkeys at Large | St. Louis Becomes Jumanji, Rizz Loses His Beard, and Figure Skating Makes Everyone Emotional Jan 12, 2026

Show notes

St. Louis loses control of its wildlife, Rizz loses his beard, and somehow figure skating becomes the most emotional thing we’ve talked about all year.

If you woke up thinking, “There’s no way today gets weird,” congratulations — you don’t live in St. Louis. This daily comedy show starts with Rizz debuting a freshly shaved face he did NOT consent to, immediately followed by reports of multiple monkeys on the loose in Saint Louis' North City. Not one. Not two. Multiple. Including one wearing a collar and chilling in a woman’s car like it was her pet.

From there, The Rizzuto Show does what it does best: spirals. We break down how our show has somehow become the region’s leading authority on monkey-related news, debate whether the city has officially entered its Jumanji era, and discuss the ethical implications of adopting a wild monkey mid-traffic stop.

Then — surprise — we pivot to figure skating. And not in a “oh that’s neat” way, but in a “why are we crying at jumps?” way. Enter The Quad God, a man so dominant he made Olympic-level athletes look like background extras. Rizz and Rafe attend the U.S. Figure Skating Championships and come back with stories about insane athleticism, emotional interviews, and falling on ice being WAY too relatable.

As if that wasn’t enough, the show also tackles Gen Z’s obsession with 2016, introduces the internet’s newest insult — the “choppleganger” — breaks down Nikki Glaser absolutely owning the Golden Globes, and dives into why modern parents are turning sleepovers into competitive Olympic events of their own.

It’s chaotic. It’s heartfelt. It’s wildly unnecessary in the best way possible. And it’s exactly why this daily comedy show exists.

Canceled Words Of 2026... Clapping. In. My. Eyeballs... Full Stop. | A Comedy Podcast That Asks the Hard Questions Jan 09, 2026

Show notes

One woman snorts all her food, words get canceled, and your butt might betray you — welcome to The Rizzuto Show.

You made it to Quitter’s Day — statistically the day most New Year’s resolutions die — so naturally, The Rizzuto Show celebrates by absolutely torching self-improvement and leaning fully into chaos. This comedy podcast kicks off 2026 by breaking down why gyms suddenly empty out, why Taco Bell wins every time, and why pretending you’ll “start Monday” is a lie you tell yourself.

Things escalate quickly when the crew dives into My Strange Addiction, including one of the most unsettling stories ever discussed on the show: a woman who blends her food and snorts it through her nose. Yes, steak. Yes, guacamole. Yes, coffee. And yes, dating becomes… complicated. From there, it’s a rapid-fire parade of people eating toilet paper, drinking urine, licking cats, sleeping in makeup for years, and being emotionally intimate with their cars — proving once and for all that reality TV is a science experiment with no control group.

The gang also debates saunas vs. cold plunges, remembers the elite childhood experience of gym class parachutes, and unpacks the official Canceled Words of 2026, including “full stop,” “incentivize,” and other phrases that make your eyes feel like they’re being clapped at. Add in the very first unhinged E-Memoriam of 2026, a revisit to the very real phenomenon known as butt lightning (you’re welcome), and a list of shockingly high-paying jobs no one talks about — including airport bird shooters — and you’ve got a comedy podcast episode firing on all cylinders.

If you like funny stories, weird news, pop culture commentary, and a morning show that’s just self-aware enough to admit it’s ridiculous, this comedy podcast is for you. Laugh, cringe, and question humanity with The Rizzuto Show — every weekday, no resolutions required.

I’ll Have Matcha Latcha Ding Dong | A Simple Coffee Run Turns Into Generational Warfare in this Daily Comedy Podcast Jan 08, 2026

Show notes

Rizzuto tries to be a good dad, accidentally enters teen coffee culture hell, and somehow ends up debating AI whistleblowers, flying cars, and why mooning used to be normal.

Welcome to another beautifully chaotic episode of The Rizzuto Show, your favorite daily comedy podcast, where one innocent dad mission spirals into a full-blown cultural investigation. It all starts when Rizzuto agrees to take his daughter to 7 Brew for a viral octobuddy giveaway — a “Brew Buddy” — and ends with him waiting in line for 30 minutes just to be told they’re out. Classic parenting win. Or loss. Hard to tell.

From there, the show detonates in every direction. The gang breaks down why modern coffee menus feel like a foreign language, how teenage drive-thru culture has officially passed us by, and why Starbucks somehow aged worse than all of us. Lern declares herself officially over childish cups, Moon explains why Seven Brew is quietly taking over the planet, and Rafe confirms that if you don’t know your order before pulling up, you’re already the problem.

But wait — there’s more. A viral DoorDash whistleblower story turns out to be completely fake… and written by AI. Yes, even outrage bait has been automated now. The crew debates how AI is wrecking media literacy, why nobody trusts anything anymore, and whether going fully analog is the only solution left for humanity.

Then things get futuristic. CES gadgets roll in hot: vibrating kitchen knives, AI picture frames that talk to you like a haunted painting, smart toilets that snitch if you don’t poop for eight hours, and a $300,000 flying car that absolutely should not be legal because people can’t even drive on the ground. The gang asks the important questions — like who’s hitting power lines first and how fast insurance companies would collapse.

The episode also takes a nostalgic turn as the crew lists things that were totally normal in the ’90s but would get you arrested, canceled, or sued today. Showing up unannounced. Leaving kids in the car. Outside dogs. Mooning strangers. All fair game back then. Absolute chaos now. Progress?

Throw in some new Gary Busey content (because of course), Jackass coming back, SNL updates, celebrity gossip, and a heartfelt reminder that sometimes the best moments are just sitting in a car with your kid — even if the Octo Buddy dream dies.

It’s another daily comedy podcast episode packed with sarcasm, nostalgia, tech fear, dad energy, and laughs that spiral out of control fast. If you like funny podcasts that feel like hanging out with your friends while everything falls apart around you, congrats — this daily comedy podcast is for you.

I’m Sure I’ve Experienced Butthole Lightning | A Funny Podcast Where We Finally Name The Most Unspoken Human Experience Jan 07, 2026

Show notes

There are some things in life nobody warns you about — taxes, aging, and the sudden realization that your body can betray you without notice. In today’s funny podcast, The Rizzuto Show finally tackles one of humanity’s most unspoken mysteries: butthole lightning.

What starts as a relatively normal discussion about pain scales (you know, gallstones, ACL tears, kidney stones, childbirth, and screaming into the void) quickly escalates into a group realization that way too many people have experienced a brief, shocking, lightning-like sensation… exactly where you don’t want lightning. Doctors confirm it’s real, has a name, and is just rude enough to strike when you least expect it.

This funny podcast doesn’t stop there. The crew spirals into deeply unnecessary medical stories, debates whether fart jokes are officially dead, and wonders why Gen Alpha refuses to laugh at something humanity has found hilarious since the dawn of time. From airplane gas crimes and church farts to relationship milestones involving mutual tooting, nothing is safe.

You’ll also get classic Rizz Show chaos: aging panic, futuristic predictions we absolutely botched, luxury items from 20 years ago that are now in a landfill, papasan chairs catching strays, and the comforting reminder that whatever weird thing your body just did — you’re not alone.

If you’re looking for a funny podcast that turns awkward silence into shared laughter, uncomfortable truths into comedy gold, and random pain into a bonding experience, congratulations. You’ve found your people.
