Canceled Words Of 2026 Clapping In My Eyeballs Full Stop

·2 hr 58 min·14 clips

Both hosts suddenly agree on the deeper reason behind why certain words get left behind

This episode of The Rizzuto Show features hosts Rizzuto and Rafe discussing bizarre pop culture stories and humorous personal anecdotes. They mark "Quitter's Day," the second Friday in January when New Year's resolutions commonly fail, and explore strange human behaviors. A 2024 study found 80% of people lose steam on their resolutions by this date, which Rizzuto calculates as being 2.47% through the year. The hosts recount Rafe's failed 2025 resolution to only eat cake for dessert, which lasted three months until he accidentally ate Asian sweets at a dumpling restaurant. They joke about gym attendance plummeting after the initial January rush, with Rizzuto noting crowds dwindled significantly by the week's fourth day. Rizzuto considers buying an affordable home sauna for longevity, debating portable models versus Rafe's "Heat Healer" tunnel-style unit. Rafe nostalgically recalls the grade school parachute activity, a childhood experience Rizzuto never had, prompting jokes about visiting a school to try it. The main segment delves into TLC's "My Strange Addiction," focusing on the season seven premiere featuring Catherine, a woman who snorts all her liquefied food through her nose. Catherine, who resembles Joanna Gaines, began this in community college after a dare and claims it prevents choking and overeating, having lost 30 pounds. Her date with a man named Justin at District Biscuit Company ended awkwardly when she snorted grits and iced coffee through a straw at the table. Doctors on the show warned her practice risks lung infection, burns from spicy food, and damage to nasal tissue. Other highlighted addictions include Nathaniel's romantic relationship with his 1998 Chevy Monte Carlo named Chase, and Kesha's habit of eating half a roll of toilet paper daily. Memorable cases include Maureen, who never removes her makeup, applying new layers over old for a crusty mask, and Josh, who eats glass like lightbulbs. Cassie consumed her late husband's ashes from an urn, while Margaret intentionally stings herself with bees for an energy rush. Lisa licks her cat to groom it, Carrie drinks 80 ounces of her own urine daily, and Nicole eats drywall. The hosts also mention Toby Sheldon, who spent over $100,000 on surgery to look like Justin Bieber and died in 2015. The conversation shifts to which celebrities they'd want to resemble, with suggestions ranging from Timothée Chalamet and Chris Hemsworth to George Clooney, whom they jokingly speculate must have a hidden flaw. The tone is irreverent and conversational, filled with comedic banter and exaggerated reactions to absurd stories. The style is casual and digressive, blending personal stories with pop culture commentary in a lighthearted manner. Listeners who enjoy weird news, comedic commentary on human behavior, and playful host dynamics will love this episode. Those sensitive to discussions of eating disorders, bodily functions, or bizarre addictions might want to skip it.

As heard by us

A loose hobby-community riff finds its best laugh in the idea that death metal fans might be the nicest people in the room.

The Rizzuto Show takes a list of hobby communities and turns it into a loose guessing game, with the room bouncing from bonsai trees, bird watchers, beekeepers, hikers, woodworkers, gardeners, fountain pen people, knitters, Ren Faire crowds, and Dungeons and Dragons players…
