What do a giant hot dog, a no-hands pasta-eating contest, and David Lee Roth's increasingly bizarre Instagram videos have in common? Unfortunately, they're all perfectly reasonable topics of conversation on The Rizzuto Show.

The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile is coming to the studio, and the crew is already way too excited about the arrival of a massive hot dog on wheels. Meanwhile, Lern delivers an official invitation from Southern Illinois for Riz to attend the Herrin Festa Italiana and potentially compete in a pasta-eating contest. No hands allowed. Because apparently watching Riz eat mostaccioli like a farm animal is exactly the kind of tourism Southern Illinois needs.

And that's just the appetizer.

David Lee Roth has been posting some truly spectacular videos aimed at his internet critics, and the gang cannot agree on whether Diamond Dave is the greatest rock star alive or a man who desperately needs someone to take away his phone. Riz considers the chaos part of his legendary rock-star appeal. Moon thinks arguing with trolls is beneath him. Rafe is thoroughly entertained, and Lern is somewhere between fascinated and requesting a wellness check.

Naturally, this funny podcast turns into a full-blown debate about David Lee Roth versus Mick Jagger, what makes a true rock star, and whether being completely unhinged is actually a professional qualification.

Then the crew digs into the SiriusXM comedy controversy surrounding Sebastian Maniscalco's channel replacing Raw Dog Comedy. Rafe explains how reduced airplay affects working comedians and their royalty checks, while the gang debates corporate programming, audience discovery, and whether the entertainment industry's middle class is getting squeezed out. Lern also reveals her surprisingly aggressive strategy for negotiating satellite radio subscription prices. SiriusXM customer service, you've been warned.

Over in Crap on Celebrities, the conversation jumps from Def Leppard's announced tour with Goo Goo Dolls and The Struts to Aerosmith's star-studded concert plans, Slayer's collectible vinyl, and Liam Gallagher making the kind of ridiculous Beatles-related claim only Liam Gallagher could make.

There's also a spirited discussion about the Lanterns finale, Jeremy Allen White potentially playing Gene Wilder, celebrity relationship headlines, and the best family-friendly Halloween movies. Because nothing says spooky season quite like debating whether Gremlins belongs on a wholesome family movie list.

Along the way, the crew highlights its Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital fundraiser, the Rizz Show billboard signing events, and the Halloween festivities happening around St. Louis.

It's another funny podcast filled with rock-star arguments, entertainment gossip, questionable career opportunities, and the kind of nonsense that makes you wonder how these people are allowed near microphones.

Come for the Wienermobile. Stay for the pasta. And whatever you do, don't let David Lee Roth find his way into your inner consciousness.

This is The Rizzuto Show — the funny podcast where the conversations are unpredictable, the opinions are loud, and a giant wiener is somehow the least ridiculous thing happening.
