Some mornings start with coffee. This one starts with raccoons tap dancing across Lern's roof at two in the morning and somehow only gets weirder from there.

Lern discovers she's apparently hosting an all-you-can-eat wildlife buffet, which leads the crew down a rabbit hole of animal enthusiasts, backyard turtles, salmonella debates, and the legendary woman who accidentally assembled an army of hungry raccoons. As always, common sense takes a back seat while the jokes grab the wheel.

Then the conversation shifts full steam ahead—literally—as Union Pacific's legendary Big Boy 4014 rolls toward St. Louis. The crew dives headfirst into train culture after discovering internet train icon Francis Bourgeois, whose pure joy over locomotives leaves everyone questioning whether they've ever truly loved anything as much as this man loves steam engines. Somewhere between "Where's Big Boy?" and "Amy is definitely out of his league," the gang realizes maybe the happiest people are just the ones who never let go of what made them smile as kids.

Of course, no Rizz Show conversation stays on the tracks for long.

The crew spirals into a surprisingly heartfelt discussion about hobbies, why adults forget how to be excited, and whether cooking, traveling, napping, or even shame qualify as legitimate pastimes. The debate somehow becomes both hilarious and oddly philosophical before making one of the hardest left turns imaginable...

...straight into 90s mall nostalgia.

Remember Sam Goody? Spencer's? Gadzooks? Waldenbooks? Radio Shack? KB Toys? Sharper Image? Orange Julius? The gang does, and what starts as a simple conversation about Gen Z returning to malls quickly becomes a full-blown trip through America's greatest retail memories. From candy stores and arcades to awkward trips through Spencer's "back section," every mall kid from the 80s and 90s will find themselves laughing along.

Throw in stories about growing up, childhood obsessions, bizarre shopping trends, unforgettable stores, and the kind of sarcastic chaos only this crew can create, and you've got another episode that somehow manages to be completely ridiculous while also reminding everyone it's okay to stay excited about the things you love.

Whether you're here for celebrity-level steam engines, wildlife gone wild, nostalgic mall memories, or just another morning of organized nonsense, this episode delivers exactly what you'd expect from The Rizzuto Show—and probably several things you never saw coming.
