Scott Rizuto, the eponymous "Rizz" from 105.7 The Point's "The Rizzuto Show" , joins Moon for a special interview episode of Soccer 101 to talk about what it was like for a baseball junky to get into soccer, how Moon started getting Rizz involved in the STL FC days, what his first reactions were when he went to his first match at CITYPARK, how he left soccer at a young age before coming back in his 30s, the strong feeling of FOMO he got when he missed CITY's first ever home match in club history, why the stadium specifically is so special to him as someone who worked at Union Station for so long, the "whoa" feeling he got when he first walked in, what his return trips throughout the season taught him, his tips & tricks for catching a game, why Burki has stepped up as his favorite player, what it means to have an ownership who is tied into the city and cares about it's growth & the biggest questions: whether or not Rizz could consider himself a "soccer fan".

Moon & Rocchio are back after a little break to talk about the last two matches for CITY as they drew 2-2 with DC United & lost their first game of the season 3-1 @ Real Salt Lake, a big focus on the missed--and called--fouls from the game, they try to figure out what is causing this slight malaise to start the season and the big question for the episode settles in: is a porous defense through the first 7 matches (11 goals against) or is a lack of passing & creation (11 goal for) the biggest issue going for CITY to start the 2024 campaign? Rocc focuses on the defense, Moon wants to see passing at least at the 2023 level & they dive into how important the next couple of (extremely winnable) games will be for STL CITY SC.
