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?

Devon (2:03)

Phoenix has bizarre crime.

SPEAKER_4 (2:06)

The canals of Phoenix, Arizona are hunted by a serial killer.

SPEAKER_2 (2:10)

People are like, well, are we safe?

Moon (2:12)

These are sexual savings.

SPEAKER_4 (2:13)

Two grisly homicides.

SPEAKER_6 (2:15)

I know I didn't kill anyone.

SPEAKER_4 (2:17)

But solving these murders is just the beginning.

Lern (2:20)

That can't be his first rodeo.

SPEAKER_4 (2:22)

This is season six of American Nightmares, The Canal Murders. Coming soon, wherever you get your podcasts.

Rizz (2:36)

It's gonna be in the 25th anniversary of 9-11. So what else happened back on this day?

52 years ago, Little House on the Prairie debuted. 39 years ago, 1987, while a tennis tournament ran overtime, Dan Rather stormed off the set of the CBS Evening News. The tennis coverage ended. Dan Rather nowhere to be found. CBS, black for six minutes, nothing on TV. 36 years ago, 1990, Warrant puts out Cherry Pie. 24 years ago, 2002, legendary Baltimore Colts quarterback, Johnny Unitas, dies of a heart attack at 69 That same day, we were giving a gift, Nick Nolte's mugshot.

On this day, 24 years ago, Nick Nolte's mugshot became an internet sensation when he was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving. It seems like he was on the date rape drug. Also, 23 years ago, John Ritter died suddenly from Three's Company.

Devon (3:43)

His son looks just like him. Jason? Yeah. Have you seen him lately?

Rizz (3:48)

No. Is he a director?

Devon (3:50)

He's an actor. I don't know if he directs, but he was in Parenthood. That show.

Rizz (3:55)

Yeah. Looks very like him. In 2003, John Ritter died suddenly and unexpectedly of a previously undetected heart ailment called an aortic dissection. He collapsed on the set. He was doing that show Eight Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter.

And that's what happened back in the day.

Lern (4:16)
