An earthquake rattles the Midwest while the gang debates Real ID rebellion, adult impostor syndrome, and why nobody knows what to do when the ground starts shaking.
In today’s funny podcast, the crew unpacks a real Midwest earthquake that rattled Southern Illinois and woke up Moon just long enough for him to realize he’s officially experienced his first natural disaster. Rizz isn’t sure if he felt it or if his dog was just scratching, Lern somehow slept through the entire thing like a professional, and suddenly everyone is Googling earthquake safety rules that apparently changed sometime after the 1990s.
This episode of the Rizz Show quickly spirals into full-on New Madrid Fault anxiety, including discussions about “the big one,” earthquake drills from childhood, and whether standing in a doorway was ever actually a good idea or just something schools made up to keep us calm.
Then the chaos shifts to airports, TSA, and the looming Real ID deadline. Rafe continues to proudly fly without a Real ID like it’s a personal protest against the federal government, gambling with TSA rules while the rest of the show prepares for the very real possibility that he gets stranded in Buffalo forever. February 1st is approaching, and the tension is real.
Along the way, the show tackles the weird parts of adulthood that still feel fake no matter how old you get — filing taxes, getting your first W-2, making doctor appointments without your mom, buying wine you don’t understand, and realizing that one day people start looking at you during emergencies instead of a more qualified adult.
Things get even more unhinged with questionable bathroom etiquette, public restroom design that raises red flags, airport pickpocket horror stories, and a deep dive into Maury Povich admitting he may have enjoyed emotionally terrorizing people with olives. Yes, that’s real.
Add in celebrity chaos, Ozzy Osbourne’s legendary animal-related headlines, John Mellencamp smoking an absolutely unreasonable amount of cigarettes, and debates about whether Oasis should release new music or stop while they’re ahead — and you’ve got a funny podcast that perfectly captures the anxiety, confusion, and comedy of being alive in 2026.
If you’ve ever felt unprepared for adulthood, natural disasters, or airport security… congrats. You’re exactly who this funny podcast is for.
