Old Ghosts & Exploding Cats

Old Ghosts & Exploding Cats

Opie, Carl, and Sherrod move into their shiny new Westwood One studio on grimy 42nd Street… and immediately start roasting the dim lights, shaky tables, and Civil War-era ghosts of Times Square past. What follows is pure chaos: dodging homeless chaos outside, “catch and release” hot tourists, Cross Bronx Expressway survival stories, the fat kid who fell through three floors into dog shit, the kid who dropped a chunk of sidewalk on a duck family, and Rhonda lighting fireworks in a cat’s ass. Childhood psychopath spotters, Fresh Air Fund weirdness, Vietnamese lightning survivors, Catholic priest shade, grandpa’s shoplifting jacket, and a late dive into Big Pharma zombies — all in one unhinged, laugh-out-loud episode. Classic Opie Radio: zero filter, maximum stories.

Carl Ruiz’s Derby Disaster w/ Theo Von

Carl looks like a hairy glazed donut & Opie's Swamp Lip

Opie on the Upper West Side with Carl looking like a “hairy glazed donut,” they grab falafels and wander Manhattan swapping wild tales—Opie’s lightning-struck Asian caddy story, childhood crushes, and way too much swamp lip talk. Shopping bag full of herpes meds and hamster treats, rib-grabbing arguments, bodega stops, subway “WOOOs,” Times Square wax figures, and plenty of cringe bystander interactions before heading to the new Westwood One studio with Sherrod. Pure uncut, off-the-cuff Opie Radio chaos.

Died On Stage At His 70th Birthday Bash…Band Kept Jamming

Opie, Carl & Sherrod react to jam band legend Colonel Bruce Hampton collapsing and dying on stage during his star-studded 70th birthday show (they play the cell phone video). Carl gets his official chef certificate and Dickies jacket, then immediately gets roasted. Louis plans a wild Atlantic City bachelor party week, Carl tells the insane story of how he met Marie, and DJ Who Kid turns the studio into a Cinco de Mayo twerk session that a rabbi walks right past. Non-stop chaos, laughs, and one very confused holy man.
