Show notes
The confetti has settled on Super Bowl 60, the game was… fine, and once again America proved that we mostly tuned in for commercials and vibes. On today’s episode of The Rizzuto Show, your favorite daily comedy show digs into which Super Bowl ads actually worked, which ones emotionally manipulated us, and which ones made us wonder if we’re already living in a low-budget sci-fi nightmare.NBC charged advertisers up to $10 million for 30 seconds, so naturally we break down whether that money actually paid off. The surprise winner wasn’t the celebrity-packed chaos you’d expect — it was the emotional NFL “thank your coach” tearjerker that somehow made grown adults feel things during nachos. Meanwhile, Amazon’s Ring ad about reuniting lost dogs using AI surveillance cameras sparked a very different reaction… because nothing says “heartwarming” like realizing your neighborhood might already be a surveillance state.We debate whether this tech is genuinely helpful or quietly terrifying, how far facial recognition has already gone, and why people are suddenly side-eyeing Alexa like she’s an undercover narc. Is it about lost dogs — or is it about tracking people? Asking for a friend.Then things spiral (as they do).Swifties activate after a Super Bowl ad pokes fun at celebrity exes, leading to a brutally honest conversation about hypocrisy, outrage marketing, and why rage-baiting the largest fanbase on the planet might actually be the point. We also hit on missing Super Bowl ads, local St. Louis frustrations, and why Missouri keeps getting TV shows that refuse to actually film here.The chaos doesn’t stop there. We cover tragic celebrity news, weird industry beefs, musicians fighting over band names, management scandals, and the theory absolutely no one asked for — that Mary Poppins and Pennywise might be the same entity feeding on children’s emotions. Yes, seriously.We wrap it all up with Metallica love, rock history anniversaries, birthday chaos, and the kind of off-the-rails conversations that make this daily comedy show exactly what it is: funny, unfiltered, occasionally unhinged, and somehow still informative.If you like comedy podcasts, celebrity news, weird tech anxiety, Super Bowl ads, pop culture arguments, and a group of people absolutely refusing to stay on topic — congratulations.
