Listen on Apple PodcastsTony keeps freezing mid-sentence, the cable guy left a wire in the neighbor’s tomato plants, and somehow we end up talking doghouse drama, Kevin Hart’s new movie where people float to shore on whale dicks, and Sophie Cunningham’s common-sense take on women’s sports. Happy Monday. Thanks for donating to the podcast https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/JANCGHFW7GJHA helps us keep going. Have a great day!
I guess everyone is mad at our Danny McBride interview. We break it down. I Know Danny had a good time as well as Theo Von, Chris Distefano, Caril Ruiz and Sherrod Small so F THEM! Theo Von and Chris Distefano continue to roast each other and Carl's wife make a surprise visit! UH OH!
Ron swears he looks like young Johnny Depp (everyone else sees Benjamin Franklin). Tony puts his dog down and immediately starts calculating the housework savings. A cop dresses as a tree to catch speeders, Neil deGrasse Tyson ruins Top Gun, and Batman somehow doubles subway chivalry. Add turkey-bacon lies, fruit-sticker rage, lasagna-noodle warfare, and the annual “is the Earth flat?” round. Pure, unfiltered FU Friday. They somehow turn Yoko Ono’s ass, a 20-year rotting fish-sauce stench, and whether “schmear” is a scam into legitimate conversation topics. Come for the chaos, stay because you can’t look away.
Opie’s sugar-free diet ends in non-explosive “bloops,” a toothpaste-tube bathroom struggle, and his wife casually leaving an enema on the sink. Meanwhile the cable company trenches through the neighbor’s prize flower bed and tomatoes… and still doesn’t fix the Wi-Fi. Plus Fauci pleading the Fifth on his tie color, Katy Perry trapped in a giant bottle, Erik’s one-year SNL stories, and Ron’s Mount St. Helens pimple. Pure unfiltered chaos.
Danny McBride calls into Opie Radio and walks straight into a buzzsaw. Theo Von and Chris Distefano are already mid-roast about haircuts, lesbian diets, and Moroccan lentil soup when the Vice Principals star joins the line. What follows is pure chaos — the Tempur-Pedic question, the karate gi still in the closet, the tequila pistol, and Danny somehow surviving the most unhinged call-in of his career. Classic Opie Radio energy. No filter. No mercy. 5/25 You can donate to the show here https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/JANCGHFW7GJHA which helps a lot! Thank you!
Opie’s gut is under full demonic siege after that healthy summer salad (lettuce + eggs = pure regret), the sourdough starter turned his NYC apartment into a crime scene, and LeBron’s taking a helicopter from Manhattan to Philly while Barstool Sports posts the most humiliating Family Feud score in history. Ron the Waiter is locked in for the chaos, the $100 grill-cover bounty, and zero filter.
Opie and Tony P roast LeBron chasing one last ring for chump change in Philly (while the fans sharpen their knives), then dive into the wildest weight-loss side effect yet—people paying thousands to inject processed dead-body fat back into their sunken “Ozempic faces.” Also, they rank guilty pleasures from taint itches to post-BBQ shit-talk rides and still somehow make room for nude-beach stories. Pure chaotic comedy gold. Donating to the show helps us make more! https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/JANCGHFW7GJHA THANK YOU
Opie spends the morning detonating from sugar-free “dog-shit” strawberry ice cream, turns the neighborhood into white-trash beach paradise with an above-ground cable snake through his neighbor’s tomatoes, completely ignores Erik Marino’s heartfelt sobriety breakdown to schedule the Spectrum guy, then the boys free-associate through Matthew Broderick’s bicycle, AI Chuck Norris selling chicken fingers, banana-hammock confidence, Coney Island street vendors, NYC pet-owner cruelty, Mrs. Met’s Hall of Fame grift, tip-begging car-wash robots, and a full-shirtless spiral that somehow ends with Sweet Caroline being about underage Kennedy lust. Classic FU Friday chaos. NEW Merch!

Erik Marino details his brutal vertigo battle (inner ear crystals spinning him out, Epley maneuver gone wrong, and possible mouse-related Hanta fears), while Ron the Waiter gets grilled for his suddenly darker “beach hair” that definitely isn’t dye. The guys spiral into Blue Steel impressions, movie quote wars, Monica turning 53, and a fortune cookie that swears December will be chill. Pure unfiltered chaos. Thanks for dontaing to the show https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/JANCGHFW7GJHA helps me to keep this going. Peace!
Guy Fieri walks into the studio with Iron Chef Alex Guarnaschelli and turns the entire hour into a nonstop roast of Carl Ruiz. Shady New Jersey Cuban poker den stories, Opie’s criminal YouTube cooking videos, Carl's wife Marie calling in from the side of the road covered in hot dog juice (penny chicken, anyone?), and Opie sipping a Bikini Teeni like it’s 2009… this one is savage. Pure Carl torture at its finest. This full episode also lives on the Opie and Carl podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/opie-carl/id1825615867
Opie rolls in hot from the beach, already revving up because his Long Island cable is freezing again even though they said they "FIXED IT". Then he unloads on Howard Stern cutting his people’s severance in half while the King of All Media phones it in from one show a week. Ron chimes in, gems rain down (whatever the hell those are), Shakira’s hips get Opie banned, Tom Brady looks dumb slapping Logan Paul, and somehow we end up talking explosive lettuce, aliens, and why nobody’s answering Opie’s DMs anymore. Classic Opie & Ron chaos. Enjoy the freeze-frames.
Opie screams at the TV because Heather O'Rourke is still doing traffic reports like it's 1985 ("we all have apps, lady!"), while Tony P explains why GPS always sends you through the ghetto and how old paper maps were pure chaos. Then Shakira lights up the World Cup halftime at 50 with hips that don't lie, Tony celebrates his birthday with 3-11, ice cream, and naked rainy push-ups, plus rants on everything from Messi crying to Elliot Page on Men's Health. Monday morning gold. https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/JANCGHFW7GJHA Your donation helps us make more episodes. Don't make us crap on your lettuce! HA!!

Canadian smoke turning NYC into an ashtray, Mexico sending us parasite lettuce that gives explosive diarrhea, Opie losing his mind on no sugar and ranting about Carvel cakes, and Tony going full flat earth on his birthday while we roast the hell out of 311.

'King of Obsolete Media' Now Does ONE Day a Week & Fires Everybody Over Zoom Opie rolls out of bed, SARCASTICALLY complains how "exhausting" it is to hit record for an hour, then spends the entire episode roasting Howard Stern for doing the exact same thing… but from a mansion, with a summer off, and now down to ONE show a week while Zoom-firing loyal staff. "This is so hard!" The King of All Media is now the King of Doing Jack Shit. Classic Opie rage, zero chill. VIDEO of the Howard Stern rant https://youtu.be/VwasgI2Dy9A Thanks for donating to the show https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/JANCGHFW7GJHA makes me make more!
Opie goes off on Michael Rapaport as the ultimate tough-guy savior, debate if Dave Portnoy is secretly a Long Island Jew, roast Mitch McConnell’s suspiciously healthy AI photo, break down Lindsey Graham’s sudden death and his sister stepping into his Senate seat, Tom Cruise’s massive TikTok debut, and why movie sets are NOT war. Non-stop unfiltered chaos, laughs, and real talk you won’t hear anywhere else. New episodes Monday–Friday!
Opie kicks off complaining he’s got nothing for the show—then rips into quiet coffee awkwardness, only-child energy, a $150 bounty to skip tomorrow, brutal beach winds killing volleyball dreams, NYC’s Legionnaires’ disease outbreak, why Tom Segura & Joe Rogan aren’t funny, Shane Gillis’ realness, Philly’s disease legacy, Mamdani’s controversial immigrant map drama, and more. Classic unfiltered Opie & Ron chaos.
Opie, Ron the Waiter & Tony P go full chaos mode! First, a raging Yellowstone bull bison in rut mode turns a 65-year-old grandpa (and his grandson) into a viral disaster — dude gets launched EIGHT FEET in the air while filming TikTok instead of running. Opie’s brutal take: ‘People think nature is a damn petting zoo and phones killed our survival instincts.’ 2,000-pound tank vs. human ego = ouch. Then Lindsey Graham passes at 71 after sudden illness — from calling Trump a ‘race-baiting xenophobe’ to his #1 Senate defender and golf buddy overnight. Political genius or the ultimate chameleon? What happens to his seat now? AND… the guys dive into Flat Earth blowing up again — is phone addiction + conspiracy brain turning everyone into tinfoil warriors, or is something actually up? Wild debates, zero filter, and nonstop laughs. This episode is pure Opie Radio rocket fuel. Don’t miss it!
Dr. Steve gets emergency-called because Opie, the legendary Carl Ruiz, Sherrod Small, and Mike Vecchione are dying over a transplant story that went way too far south. one of the most unhinged stories ever told on radio. A guy gets extremely particular about his donor “upgrade”… and yes, color was on the menu, and once Dr. Steve starts dropping the real medical details… the whole room loses it. Filthy laughs, jaw-dropping facts, and classic Opie chaos from the best (and final) year of the show. Donating to the show helps us make more!

Opie’s running on 4 hours of sleep after a 3AM dog-poop emergency (and a $200 anal sac explosion at the vet). Ron calls him out, Tony piles on with iced-coffee hacks and soccer hate, and internet beast Be A Man rolls in for savage FUs on sandals, tipping culture, and his wildest story yet — knocking up a married Vietnamese nursing home worker and secretly being dad to a kid who thinks he’s “Uncle.” Non-stop chaos, Boston mob tales, and Be A Man prepping to face Joey Chestnut in wings. Pure FU Friday gold. Donating to the show helps us make more! PayPal - opieradio https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/JANCGHFW7GJHA
Opie kicks things off by admitting he banged two of his RAs in college, then Erik Marino pops on looking like young Santa Nick and shares his nightmare RA who smelled like explosive Indian food. The gang spirals into Trump flying with a national-security poop suitcase, the wildest penis crime story ever (Bobbitt who?), arcade game nostalgia (Jumper = Mario!), 1830s Americans drinking 7 gallons of ethanol a year, and nonstop unhinged banter. Pure Opie Radio mayhem with Ron the Waiter — zero filter, maximum laughs. You don’t want to miss this one. Donating to the show helps us make more!
