DAILY PODCAST: I Go To Lots Of Kid's Parties Dude | The Rizzuto Comedy Show

We're bringing back Blockbuster, burying Columbia House and somehow ending up inside the St. Louis Cardinals draft room. Just another morning where The Rizzuto Show refuses to pick a lane.

First, a guy learns how to sing a hit song completely backwards so it sounds right when reversed, which is an incredible amount of effort dedicated to something gloriously unnecessary. Then we discover Free Blockbusters — neighborhood boxes where people swap DVDs, Blu-rays and VHS tapes like Little Free Libraries for people who still remember rewinding things.

That sends us straight into a funeral for Columbia House, the legendary “11 albums for a penny” operation that helped build Rizz's music collection and apparently taught an entire generation of children their first lesson in questionable financial decisions. Rizz remembers physically mailing them a penny, getting Guns N' Roses, Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard and Bon Jovi, then receiving bills while possessing the unbeatable legal defense of being approximately 11 years old.

Plus, Crap on Celebrities delivers another pile of entertainment gossip and pop culture commentary before we bring in someone with actual credentials and briefly destroy the show's reputation.

Cardinals assistant GM of scouting and acquisition and 2006 World Series champion Randy Flores joins the crew to talk Draft365: Scouting MLB's Future Stars and give us a fascinating look at how the Cardinals identify, evaluate and draft future players.

Randy breaks down the absurd odds of making Major League Baseball, what scouts see beyond analytics, why struggling can actually reveal something important about a prospect, and how the Cardinals' nationwide scouting operation works. We get into Jordan Walker, Joshua Baez, the pressure facing young athletes and why parents convinced they're raising the next MLB superstar might want to let the kid drive the dream.

And with the 20-year reunion of the 2006 World Series champion Cardinals approaching, Randy looks back while also explaining why the organization's current farm system has him excited about what's coming next.

So we've got Blockbuster nostalgia, Columbia House childhood crimes, weird internet talent, funny celebrity gossip and legitimate Cardinals baseball insight all crammed into one comedy podcast.

Basically, we start with VHS tapes and end with MLB scouting.

There was no plan.

There rarely is.
