The choice of lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely on advertisements.

SPEAKER_3 (1:01)

My name is Tom and my father was killed in a motorcycle accident. I called Brown and Crouppen because I wasn't sure if there was a case here or not. Something like this never goes away, but they definitely made the process just so much simpler and easier. Anytime I text and needed an answer to something, somebody was right there.

Lern (1:21)

We're here for you 24-7.

Rafe (1:23)

Call Brown and Crouppen for your free consultation now.

SPEAKER_3 (1:27)

I don't know what I would have done without you guys. Brown and Crouppen was just great.

Rafe (1:30)

Hey, it's Rafe, I'm here with Stewie from Stewart's American Morgan. Stew, ever since I closed my loan with you, I get scam letters left and right.

Devon (1:36)

You know, Rafe, that information that you close your loan is public record, so people get all kinds of junk in the mail. This is why you contact me on my personal cell phone. After you close the loan, I'm available nights, weekends. Your home is the biggest investment you're going to make in your life. Don't you want someone you can contact when you need to contact them?

Rafe (1:52)

Call the guy you can count on. It's Stew, 314-324-4440, or Google the bagel loan, NLS number 226715 Hey, it's Justin Wilman.

Lern (2:04)

You're listening to The Rizzuto Show. Happy birthday, Rizz.

Rizz (2:07)

Hey, you guys know the Quaaludes are back?

Jeff Burton (2:09)

No way.

Lern (2:10)

Yeah, oh yeah.

Jeff Burton (2:11)

I talk about Quaaludes in the 70s with the bassist in my band, Richard, because he grew up in New York, and he always tells me these wild-ass stories about doing lewds back in the day.

Rizz (2:23)

Lewds are making a surprising comeback. And I guess it all started, like the comeback started with The Wolf of Wall Street.

Jeff Burton (2:33)

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

Rizz (2:34)

Remember they always talked about doing lewds in The Wolf of Wall Street, and now it's a thing again. Kids are doing lewds?

Jeff Burton (2:42)

No, you know what? They were originally, allegedly, for women, for like housewives, to like set them at ease. And like were prescribed for the ladies.

Rizz (2:52)

Originally brand named Methaquilone, short for quiet interlude. So the drug acts as a heavy sedative and muscle relaxant that lowers inhibitions, creates extreme body euphoria, and mitigates anxiety.

Rafe (3:08)

It's the original Xanax. Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying. I think Xanax is like the dialed in version of Quaaludes.

Rizz (3:17)

So the feds thought that lewds were pretty much extinct after the federal ban in 1984 And for decades, drug enforcement officials like, yeah, this is a win in the war on drugs, because the pharmaceutical companies just stopped making them.

But fast forward to today, and these things are being made by underground chemists.

Jeff Burton (3:40)

Oh jeez. We're all going to be getting into our lambos, like Leonardo DiCaprio and Wolf of Wall Street. Whoops.

Rizz (3:47)

You ever taken a Quaalude?

Jeff Burton (3:48)

Of course not.

Rizz (3:49)

What do you mean, of course not?

Jeff Burton (3:50)

They're not around. You can't find a lewd.

Rafe (3:53)

Put it on the wheel for taking a Quaalude. You gotta take a lewd.

Rizz (3:58)

I took a Quaalude once.

Rafe (3:59)

You gotta take a lewd for the whole broadcast.

Jeff Burton (4:01)

What happened to you?

Rizz (4:01)

I lost the evening.

Lern (4:03)

Gone, huh?

Rizz (4:04)

Gone.
