Pasta Eating Schemes & David Lee Roth's Internet Meltdown
The Rizzuto Show | Daily Comedy Podcast
October 9, 2026
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 choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely on advertisements.

If you know Dobbs Tire and Auto Centers, you love them. They've been fixing everything St. Louis drives for 50 years. They guarantee the lowest tire prices in town and have a drive away tire package that includes free balancing, rotation, and flat repair on their tires. It's incredible. And here's one more reason you don't want anybody but Dobbs handling your vehicle. Right now, when you buy any three Cooper tires at Dobbs, you get one free.
You drive out with a whole set of brand new Cooper tires, but you only pay for three. At your next stop, take a look. Take a look at the tires. Looking a little worn? Tread-looking a little on the thin side? Listen, it happens, but it doesn't have to stay that way. Head to Dobbs, buy any three Cooper tires, and get one free. Don't let this offer pass you by. Stop in and get safer, newer, better tires for less while supplies last. Visit gotodobbs.com. That's gotodobbs.com. Find a location near you or see an associate for details. gotodobbs.com.

I just went and got the mail.
And I want to read something to you. Is that okay? I know this wasn't planned to you personally. This is huge, guys. This is breaking news.
This person writes, I was thrilled to hear the Rizz Show give a shout out the other day to the Herrin Festa Italiana, as well as the Du Quoin State Fair. I like to think that these two events are the bookends to a summer in Southern Illinois. We'd love to have you all visit next year. And perhaps Riz could enter the pasta eating contest, no hands, or three of you could put together a grape stomp contest team. Anyway, thanks for the good words. You are always welcome in Herrin. Chairman of the Herrin Festa Italiana.
Rizzuto (2:14)
Oh my God. What are the dates on this?
SPEAKER_3 (2:17)
Well, we've missed it because it's the end.
SPEAKER_4 (2:19)
For next year.
SPEAKER_3 (2:20)
Yeah, we will all look it up.
Rizzuto (2:21)
We'll put it on the calendar.
SPEAKER_3 (2:22)
We're getting your ass to Southern Illinois.
SPEAKER_4 (2:24)
Let's go.
Rizzuto (2:25)
Okay, so if we find out the dates, let's put it on the calendar and let's definitely go.
SPEAKER_3 (2:30)
Let's definitely go.
SPEAKER_4 (2:31)
Exciting.
Rizzuto (2:32)
Pasta eating contest.
SPEAKER_3 (2:34)
Dude, you're going to love Herrin Festa Italiana.
Herrin. Herrin?
Rizzuto (2:38)
Herrin.
SPEAKER_4 (2:38)
Herrin.
Rizzuto (2:39)
Herrwink?
SPEAKER_3 (2:40)
Herrin.
SPEAKER_6 (2:41)
Herrwink.
Rizzuto (2:41)
Oh, that's very nice.
SPEAKER_4 (2:42)
Thank you.
SPEAKER_6 (2:42)
Isn't this sweet?
Rizzuto (2:43)
Thank you. Anyway, breaking news.
SPEAKER_4 (2:44)
It's in May.
Moon Valjean (2:46)
All right.
SPEAKER_8 (2:46)
This year was May 26th or 22nd through the 25th. So I would say it's probably going to be around.
Moon Valjean (2:52)
But it's not. No hands pasta eating. Yeah.
SPEAKER_4 (2:56)
We'll have to make... Which is how you eat it anyway.
Moon Valjean (2:58)
I know.
SPEAKER_3 (2:58)
As we know.
Moon Valjean (2:59)
You got to see this mustachole man over here.
SPEAKER_3 (3:02)
That's an official welcome to the Southern Illinois. On a letterhead.
SPEAKER_8 (3:06)
And it's your people.
Rizzuto (3:07)
I know.
We're going. On the calendar.
SPEAKER_8 (3:10)
David Lee Murphy will be playing as he does every year. It's Memorial Day weekend.
Rizzuto (3:16)
Okay. Again, let's hope it's not...
SPEAKER_8 (3:18)
We don't do Point Fest on Memorial Day.
Rizzuto (3:21)
Sometimes we do.
SPEAKER_3 (3:21)
We do that on Mother's Day weekend.
Rizzuto (3:23)
It floats. It floats. We're going though.
SPEAKER_3 (3:26)
Okay.
Rizzuto (3:28)
We're going. Listen, we got to shout out the sponsors of our head this week. The men and lady of many hats. These fine companies have generously donated to Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital. It's part of our October fundraiser.
