Carl's Fleetwood Mac Crush Text & Lady in Red Wedding Meltdown

Carl's Fleetwood Mac Crush Text & Lady in Red Wedding Meltdown

Opie and Carl are stuck in the car on a chaotic road trip to ESPN for Carl’s big gig — with Gloria in lead car taking every back road known to man. Carl goes full cheeseball and sends his crush the Fleetwood Mac song 'Everywhere'… then sweats the reply. Carl tells the legendary story of his brother getting teary-eyed slow-dancing to 'Lady in Red,' almost ruining a double score at a wedding. Plus: white clam pizza debates that trigger Twitter warriors, one-hit wonder rabbit holes (Thompson Twins, Chris de Burgh, 99 Luftballons), hating on social media trolls, passing the Sandy Hook exit, Gloria’s mystery snacks.  Pure unfiltered guy talk, nostalgia, roasts, and highway stupidity. You’re riding shotgun.

US Almost Blew Up the Moon & They're coming for your town

Pre podcast episode from Opie's radio show The Moon, The Neighborhood Watch, and The Great "Fruit" Lie! What happens when a specific culture takes over an entire town? They fixed Carl's candy machine.  We dive deep into the fascinating world of the Hasidics—turns out, you can learn a lot about a culture while you’re just trying to satisfy a sweet tooth. Inside this episode: The School District Scam: Carl exposes how a "rich" neighborhood can afford massive sports complexes but can’t figure out air conditioning or decent school lunches. The Great Moon Plot: A look back at the time Russia and the USA actually considered nuking the moon. (Spoiler: We’re glad they didn't). The Vegetable Manifesto: Opie has had enough. It’s time to stop calling obvious vegetables "fruit" just to satisfy a technicality. Flat Earthers & Neighborhood Watches: Dealing with the "fringe" members of society, from people who think the world is a pancake to the heroes (or villains) of the local watch. It’s comedy, it’s chaos, and it’s the only place you’ll hear about peanut-throwing incidents and school lunch corruption in the same hour. Hit play and get the real story.
