Opie, Carl Ruiz, Vic Henley, and Sherrod Small are live at Gebhards on the Upper West Side, drinking moonshine and Elijah Craig while the conversation goes completely off the rails.Vic finally tells the full story of the Houston girl who spent 45 minutes on his ass while he watched the clock and eventually told her to “wrap it up”—a line that became a running greeting with Don Gavin for years. From there it drifts into Buddy Guy and Kingston Mines, falling asleep at the wheel, Artie Lange surviving a head injury and getting funnier, Carl stealing his own money back after a pig roast, the Green Egg as a “white BMW 3 Series of grills,” champagne snobbery, shamans, and Aretha Franklin stories. Classic live Opie and Carl chaos with the full crew.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/opie-carl--6679362/support.
Opie, Carl Ruiz, Vic Henley, and Sherrod Small reunite live at their old Upper West Side spot, Gebhards, for the first time in a while. Moonshine flows, burgers get ordered, and the conversation immediately goes off the rails.They trade stories about family members pre-labeling mom’s furniture and hiding Rolexes, the rules (and realities) of shitting on a yacht, Nantucket bachelorette parties and $395 hotel robes, yelling at Steven Wright in an alley, and Carl’s mom accidentally setting him up with a girl who later texts “You’re a monster.” Vic proves he’s the ultimate wingman, Sherrod acquires free food at record speed, and the whole crew digs into divorces, priests, and the pure chaos of being back together.Classic live Opie and Carl energy—loud, filthy, and full of the chemistry that made these nights special.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/opie-carl--6679362/support.

Opie, Mark Normand, and Carl Ruiz turn the studio into a complete circus. Carl fat-fingers his wife’s smoking-hot pics to everyone (including Roland), the group immediately loses their minds, then they dial her up while she’s out with the kids. Cue nonstop roasting, zipline boob stories, Mark being Mark, ancient radio chaos with a Tourette’s guy jumping to “Jump Around,” IPA hate, cheap beer nostalgia, Memphis BBQ talk, and the most unhinged birthday episode you’ll hear all year. Raw, filthy, and stupidly funny — pure Opie Radio chaosBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/opie-carl--6679362/support.
Jim Florentine tells Opie and Carl he waited until 18 to have sex because of Catholic hell, then immediately jerked off after. He also missed softball playoffs with bursitis from his right arm. Opie let a shaman blow Peruvian plant powder up both nostrils until he puked and saw his dead dad. Then they go full strip-club war stories and torch Netflix, late night, and cancel culture.

Jim Florentine walks into Opie and Carl’s tiny new studio for the first time since Opie got fired and immediately starts cooking. Lightning delays at a Dolphins game, falling off stadium ramps, ketchup as liquid sugar, grandpa beers vs. IPAs that taste like feet, prenups you can never bring up in Rome, Carl giving away the restaurant to stay free and clear, and Jim’s special I Got the House. Then it gets real: the shaman in an LA condo who said the exact words from his ex’s suicide note, Catholic guilt, support groups, and why he flew across the country when he “hates everything.” Classic O&A-style hang — laughs, rants, and the stuff you don’t say anywhere else.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/opie-carl--6679362/support.
Carl is maxed out in the creepy cabin. The town is a disaster. The seawall is breached. The girls at the bar have gone from “Hi Carl” to “Hey Carl.” So he times his TV appearance, walks into the bar, points at the screen, and walks out with a 7.5 in her late 20s. No prep. No Blue Chew. Lost it on entry. Then he has to redeem himself… and the next morning they walk a quarter-mile down a country road past four towns of firefighters who all know him because the house across the street just burned down. Opie, Carl, and Jim Florentine (Nike from head to toe) go off on Twitter trolls, $2 salad bars, fruity beers, and why nobody can laugh at a politician anymore. Pure unfiltered Ruiz Army chaos.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/opie-carl--6679362/support.
Opie’s birthday turns into pure chaos with Carl Ruiz (the Mad Cuban, Food Network star) and comedian Mark Normand. Carl recounts Roland’s legendary 30-second bathroom fart + the time he was spooked by every truck on the drive to Nashville. Mark goes full degenerate mode with wild Vegas stories: downtown Fremont debauchery, roulette wins/losses, the greatest buffet on earth, and those magical hangover IV drips. Plus Yeti gift roasting, Trump calling terrorists “evil losers,” fidget spinner rants, Ryan Seacrest’s Ghost blunder, and nonstop unfiltered banter. One of the funniest, most unhinged episodes yet.If you love raw comedy podcasts with zero filter, hit play.
