Summary
This episode of The Rizzuto Show is what happens when a legit success story collides headfirst with absolute nonsense — aka your favorite funny podcast doing what it does best.
We welcome St. Louis native Ricky Montgomery, who went from recording music in a basement to casually stacking hundreds of millions of streams after TikTok resurrected his songs during the pandemic. No big deal. Just your average “almost quit music, then became wildly successful” situation.
Ricky walks us through the journey — from Eureka High School and MySpace bands to viral fame, record label chaos, and why St. Louis still matters to him even after moving to LA. It’s one of those rare moments where the show almost feels inspirational… don’t worry, we fix that quickly.
Because then we bring in his brother Zane.
And suddenly this funny podcast turns into a full-blown sibling showdown.
We dive into their childhood, creative differences, and what it’s like watching your brother go from “guy with a guitar” to “guy with 878 million streams.” It’s wholesome. It’s supportive. It’s… immediately ruined by Rafe introducing a trivia game that pits them against each other in the most chaotic way possible.
“Hot Brother-on-Brother Action” (yes, we’re sticking with that name) is exactly what it sounds like — rapid-fire, elementary-level questions where one wrong answer ends your dignity. Spoiler: things get competitive fast.
Between viral fame stories, music industry insanity, and sibling rivalry that feels way too real, this episode delivers everything you expect from a funny podcast — unpredictable, ridiculous, and somehow still grounded in real moments.
If you came for inspiration, you’ll get it.
If you came for chaos, oh buddy… you’re in the right place.
And if you’ve ever argued with your sibling over something dumb, just know — it could always be worse. You could be doing it live on the radio.
