Opie & Carl

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 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.

Plus Yeti gift roasting, Trump calling terrorists “evil losers,” fidget spinner rants, Ryan Seacrest’s Ghost blunder, and nonstop unfiltered banter.
