Rizz and Tim venture into the darkest territory of the season with an unflinching look at the long, brutal history of executions — and what these methods reveal about the societies that carried them out.

Spanning thousands of years, this episode traces humanity’s evolving relationship with state-sanctioned death, from ancient punishments designed as public spectacle to medieval torture systems built around confession, and finally to modern execution methods marketed as humane and scientific. Along the way, the episode confronts a disturbing paradox: as societies claim to become more civilized, their methods of killing often become more efficient, more clinical, and easier to ignore. It’s not just a history of execution — it’s a reflection on power, progress, and the uncomfortable reality of what justice has looked like across human history

In this episode of The Spread Zone, Scott Rizzuto, Tim McKernan, and Anthony Stalter break down three of the biggest sports betting opportunities of the week: the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament (Arch Madness), and the upcoming World Baseball Classic. The crew analyzes course conditions and betting angles for one of the toughest stops on the PGA Tour, debates value plays and long shots as conference tournament season begins in the Missouri Valley, and looks at where the best futures and pool bets may exist in the international baseball markets. Along the way, they discuss how to approach outrights, placement bets, matchups, and futures while balancing favorites with deeper value picks. It’s a strategy-driven episode focused on building smart betting cards and finding opportunities across golf, college basketball, and international baseball. The Spread Zone is presented by FanDuel Sportsbook.

It’s March 4th — the only date on the calendar that doubles as a command — and this daily comedy show absolutely understood the assignment. We’re celebrating Punchki Day, International Pancake Day, and apparently “Expose Yourself During Two Truths and a Lie” Day… because that’s what happened.

First up, we learn about the Cardinals’ new all-inclusive ticket deal — $29 gets you into the game AND unlimited hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, fountain drinks, chicken fingers… basically the kind of buffet that makes you whisper, “I’m about to ruin my summer body.” Dynamic pricing means you might pay more for Opening Day, but hey — on a Tuesday against the Marlins? You might eat your ticket price in popcorn alone. St. Louis math.

Then we dive into the main event: Two Truths and a Lie, sponsored by Universal Windows Direct. And wow… you guys showed up ready to emotionally manipulate us.

We had:

• A man who claimed Disturbed is his favorite band… but has never seen them live (and somehow has also never bought concert merch — suspicious behavior).
• A Woof Wednesday regular who played the long game with dog math.
• A dude who casually dropped “I was slimed on Nickelodeon” like that’s just a normal Tuesday memory.
• A competitive dodgeball champion (Missouri State Games flex, okay!)
• A guy who broke his arm “over someone’s head” and somehow sounded exactly 6’4” while saying it.
• And of course, the Fort Myers timeshare debate that nearly broke the studio.

Moon went full detective mode. Rafe started analyzing vocal tone like he’s in the FBI Behavioral Unit. King Scott had the printed answers like a proud substitute teacher. And Riz? Just trying to keep the circus moving forward.

We also squeeze in March 4th holidays (Grammar Day, Peace Corps Day, World Obesity Day — what a combo), plus a preview of tomorrow’s Cardinals visit and an upcoming chat about the 24th Annual NAMI Walk St. Louis.

If you like unpredictable callers, friendly chaos, sarcastic humor, St. Louis energy, and a daily comedy show that somehow turns breakfast food into competitive sport — this episode delivers.

This is what happens when a daily comedy show gives the phones to the people and trusts them not to lie convincingly.

Spoiler: They lie convincingly.

Welcome back to your favorite daily comedy show, where absolutely nothing stays on topic and somehow everything still works.

Today’s chaos kicks off with a brand-new listener game: Two Truths and a Lie. The twist? You call in. You try to fool us. And if you trick the majority of the studio, you win tickets. Simple. Clean. Probably not. Because the Rizz Show crew immediately proves we are wildly overconfident in our lie-detecting abilities. Shocking.

From there, things take a hard left into movie talk — including whether The Substance is a safe airplane watch (spoiler: absolutely not unless you enjoy strangers thinking you're watching something wildly inappropriate). Then we spiral into HBO’s DTF St. Louis and whether the show actually understands St. Louis… or just Googled “Arch” and called it a day. Why does every character say “St. Louis” like they’re being paid per mention? And why does every window apparently have a perfect Arch view? We investigate. Loudly.

In Crap on Celebrities, we unpack:

• Christina Applegate ditching Brad Pitt for Sebastian Bach (imagine that car ride home).
• Jim Carrey’s new face and the internet screaming “clone conspiracy.”
• Billy Idol kicking heroin by switching to crack (which is… a strategy?).
• Billy Corgan’s theory that rock music was intentionally dialed down by shadowy forces.
• Why country music is suddenly dominating everything.
• Ozzfest’s return.
• Squid Game’s “celebrity” edition (and we use the term loosely).

Basically, this daily comedy show covers celebrity news, pop culture commentary, music chaos, and weird news with the exact level of sarcasm you’d expect from grown adults arguing about recumbent bikes.

And because we’re nothing if not competitive, we end with listener showdowns in Two Truths and a Lie — proving once again that our audience is either wildly fascinating… or disturbingly good at lying.

It’s another beautifully unhinged daily comedy show from Rizz and the gang — serving up funny stories, entertainment gossip, St. Louis flavor, and just enough nonsense to make your commute slightly less painful.

Rafe is back from Trailer Trash Tammy’s cruise and apparently spent the week testing the limits of international waters, roulette tables, and common sense. This comedy podcast episode kicks off with cruise shenanigans that include “messing with the locals” (nicely), a leather hat vendor lighting merchandise on fire to prove authenticity, and a surprise invitation to join the Blackfoot Nation — yes, seriously.

From there, it spirals the way only we can spiral.

There’s a full breakdown of cruise jail being so packed they had to put a guy on house arrest. We try (unsuccessfully) to figure out how many people the brig actually holds, whether stand-up sets for inmates at sea are allowed, and how you even explain to your family that you got locked up on a themed cruise.

Then comes the roulette meltdown. Rafe turns a complimentary $50 casino chip into $1,600 in about ten minutes, gathers a crowd chanting “LET IT RIDE,” achieves what can only be described as temporary Golden God status… and then gives it all back in one spin. It’s the kind of confidence you only get when you’re damp from jumping in the pool fully clothed and think you’ve cracked probability itself. It’s also the kind of chaos that makes this comedy podcast what it is.

We also get into spring break travel insanity (171 million people flying?!), Southwest Airlines losing its identity, and Meta smart glasses possibly recording your life for strangers in another hemisphere to review. Technology is amazing. Also horrifying. Mostly both.

And because life likes tonal whiplash, we cover a serious and disturbing local story that reminds everyone to stay alert and look out for each other. It’s real talk mixed with sarcastic humor, which is basically our brand at this point.

If you like your comedy podcast with cruise fights in moomoos, casino delusion, pop culture commentary, travel tips, weird news, and a little St. Louis edge, you’re in the right place.

Welcome back to the chaos.

On today’s daily comedy show, we bravely tackle one of society’s most sensitive topics: not every baby is cute. There, we said it. Inspired by the newly announced Gerber “Behind the Baby” photo search (yes, it’s back and yes, parents now get included), the gang debates the real question — do “ugly” babies actually grow up hotter? Is there a cosmic trade-off system? And should Gerber lean all the way in and create an “Ugly Baby Line” just for the laughs? We’re asking the real parenting questions here.

The 2026 Gerber Baby contest is officially open, offering $50,000 for ages 0–3 and $10,000 for ages 3–5. You just need one photo and a 200-word story about your kid’s “everyday victories.” Simple. Unless your baby peaked at three weeks old and now looks like a tiny angry accountant. Then what? We break down the new twist, the stage-parent energy, and why shaped heads apparently matter more than anything.

Then it’s time for Simpleton Trivia — aka 45 seconds of public humiliation. Listeners can either answer 10 rapid-fire questions themselves or gamble on Moon, King Scott, or Jamie pulling it off without spiraling into chaos. Spoiler: thermostats are not thermometers. Chloroform is not what plants breathe. And Madonna being called the “Queen of Pop” caused way more tension than expected.

We run through baseball questions, St. Louis pride, rock trivia, Harry Potter, sports, and enough pop culture curveballs to make everyone sweat. Some callers bet for the guys. Some bet against. Some sound like they’re about to cry on live radio. It’s beautiful.

We also celebrate a buffet of random March 3rd holidays — National Cold Cuts Day, National Canadian Bacon Day (which Canadians insist is just ham), Soup It Forward Day, and the deeply terrifying “What If Cats and Dogs Had Opposable Thumbs Day.” Because nothing says a responsible daily comedy show like imagining your dog opening cabinets.

And of course, we wrap by debating the greatest TV show of all time (Breaking Bad? The Wire? Fight about it in the comments) before pivoting into which U.S. state is the fittest — because we like to emotionally damage multiple demographics per episode.

It’s celebrity gossip, weird news energy, trivia chaos, Saint Louis pride, and pure Rizz Show nonsense — exactly what you expect from a daily comedy show that refuses to take itself too seriously.

Laugh with us. Roast us. Bet against us. Just don’t submit your baby unless you’re emotionally prepared.
