All right, St. Louis Real Talk. After those storms last year, my roof was a disaster, and I didn't want the headache. So I called the Happy Roof Company, and I couldn't be happier, because yeah, a roof job is loud, it's chaotic, and they were on it. They didn't just drop off a crew and disappear. Communication was tight the whole way. And the biggest thing, they helped me handle all the insurance company stuff. That alone saved me a ton of time and a ton of frustration. Now the roof looks gorgeous, clean lines, solid workmanship, high-end materials. It looks like it belongs on the house, not some patch and prey repair. And they back shingle roofs with a 10-year labor warranty. If you've got storm damage, leaks, or an older roof, make Happy Roof Company your first call. Tell them you heard about it on the Rizz Show. Go to thehappyroof.com, thehappyroof.com, or call 314-665-3001.
That's 314-665-3001.
The Happy Roof Co. Because who doesn't want a happy ending?

Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show. Rizz is back this weekend, and we'll be over at EPC, me and him, tomorrow. And then he's back on air on Monday, all to tell us about all the France adventures and everything that went right and wrong. We all have bets on how many things he's gonna complain about.

**Rafe** (2:19)
Oh yeah, and I'm feeling good, dude. I got delayed in Charlotte last night.

**Moon Valjean** (2:24)
Oh, good.

**Rafe** (2:24)
Cool. I was getting some texts about the airlines.

**Moon Valjean** (2:27)
See, I feel like you had inside information.

**Rafe** (2:29)
I know. I mean, this is all coming in after bets were made.
I mean, I'm just, I'm feeling good. As his texts roll in, there's a lot of complaints already, and things keep happening all the way back home. I feel like 10 was a good, I feel like it was a good prediction on my end. Feeling good about it.

**Moon Valjean** (2:48)
This is a closest without going over, correct? I think it should be. We'll see. Listen, I'm out of this competition anyway. I said two. I don't know what I was thinking. I was just having two positive of a Tuesday, I guess. Oh, well.
I mentioned it earlier. Today is National Water Balloon Day, 28 days till Labor Day weekend, 34 days till NFL season kicks off. Preseason is about to start up. It's Beach Party Day. It's Brahm Pie Day. Whatever the heck that means. International Beer Day, National Lighthouse Day, National Sea Serpent Day, Purple Heart Day, particularly Preposterous Packaging Day, and Raspberries and Cream Day. Now, on that International Beer Day, I know you're not going to be partaking all that much because you got this pretty conservative family vacation this weekend, but to celebrate, I'm going to tell you five myths about beer that you might still believe that just aren't true. Drinking a lot of beer gives you a beer belly. Well, beer on its own doesn't cause the belly. It's a combination of too many calories in general and a sedentary lifestyle. So it's your fault, not the beer's. Dark beers are stronger than light beers. Well, light beers are lighter in color and body, but that doesn't mean that dark beers have more alcohol. For example, Guinness contains 4.2 ABV, while Budweiser is stronger at 5%.
Beer should always be served ice cold. Ice cold temperatures can actually ruin the flavor of a good beer. So if you have a beer that has to be cold for it to taste good, it's because it's nasty and swill when it's not. But some beers were actually designed to be drank fairly close to room temperature. A lot of them are English beers.
Number four, the myths about beer. Draft beer gives you a hangover. A guy is drinking excessive alcohol gives you a hangover. That's it.

**Rafe** (4:35)
Draft beer don't help. There's something in the air, in the bubbles.

**Moon Valjean** (4:41)
That does what?

**Rafe** (4:43)
I don't know.

**King Scott** (4:45)
I'm not a scientist. What?

**Moon Valjean** (4:47)
The scientists say that you're crazy.
