Just hours before Opie is about to hit the record button for a highly anticipated podcast at Gebhard's in NYC... he has a few things to take care of. So come along with our host as he meets up with The Cuban for a little bit of conversation and a quick bite to eat... Then it's a time-jump over to Vic as they cut through Central Park, check out a topless lady... and even walk by the famous Dakota building. It all leads up to our boys getting back together with Sherrod Small... for what will be the 18th episode of Opie Radio!  The Dead Fish Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Hlge9i7Anw The Dakota/Lennon Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRNM2Ygi0D0 Matt Farah from The Smoking Tire: https://twitter.com/TheSmokingTire Here's Carl and Vic online: https://twitter.com/carlruiz and https://twitter.com/VicHenley See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Opie escapes a possible threat with Carl on the mean streets of NYC, and then he decides... that now would be a good time to record another podcast episode. They discuss nerds, girls, global warming, the love for older women.. sort of, relationships, work, and even go deep with some personal stuff from the past. Just when things start to get even deeper... something interesting happens but, you'll have to listen to find out.  https://twitter.com/carlruiz See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We'd like to thank Kevin Pollack for the introduction to Ep 12! "Day Drinking" was recorded at The Ribbon in NYC during the day... while the boys drank... a lot. Opie is joined by Chef Carl Ruiz and Vic Henley for a conversation about "The Shaman" (soon to be a full episode), personal challenges, friendship, family, drinking, relationships, seafood, rich people stuff, love songs, wine, the Kentucky Derby, Sugar gliders, and other things drunk guys talk about while recording a podcast in a bar. https://twitter.com/VicHenley Check out these great reviews from Chef Carl: https://youtu.be/7uOn839X280 https://twitter.com/kevinpollak See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

American hero and Navy SEAL, Robert O'Neill joins Opie for an intimate sitdown in NYC at Jack Demsey's. Robert shares surreal stories about his life, being part of the mission to hunt down Osama Bin Laden, and he even walks Opie through the step by step process from making that historic shot to getting back to safe surroundings with his team. It's suspensful, nail-biting, and somehow... Opie and Robert still manage to get a few laughs into the conversation. Actually, more than a few! Here's your chance to hear this American hero like you've never heard him before.  Follow Rob here: https://twitter.com/mchooyah See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's all Opie and The Cuban! Part road trip, part sitcom, and 100% improv! Opie decides to surprise Carl at Newark Airport. Then it all spirals out of control... as our host has no idea where he had parked his car. In frustration, Carl takes a smoke break. They have a hard time leaving the airport because Opie has a hard time understanding how EZ Pass works. They continue on as Opie records and operates an SUV going about 45 MPH. They talk life, clouds, Vegas, eat at a diner, and even watch vultures... or what they call "Turkey Buzzards" on the north east of the US. Opie even shows signs that he has a lot in common with Rain Man... as he picks through his breakfast. Come along for the ride... from the airport to Carl's Creepy Cabin!  Follow Chef Carl: https://twitter.com/carlruiz Happy Birthday, Opie! https://twitter.com/OpieRadio See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Opie and Vic Henley go on a road trip... sort of. This is the first in a series of "recorded while driving in a car" episodes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Opie strolls into NYC’s Gebhard's Beer Culture with his faulty podcast gear. While setting up, his guests arrive... one by one... for a free-flowing raw conversation. They talk beer, the early years, drink beer,  tell a story or two about fellow comedians, drink more beer, have exchanges about first world problems like getting their kids into the best schools of NYC, the “N” word, baseball, celebs, racist wrestling names, and the boys even rate a few girls in the bar. All this... with a few surprises along the way. So grab a beer or a stiff drink (if you’re not driving), and join the boys for some real talk at Gebhards!

Because Opie wanted to give you something to hold you over before we learn why Carl's living in a creepy cabin in the deep woods of NJ... here's an informative quickie to get you through your day. Carl invites Ben Perry (beer expert) to talk about IPA's... and hopefully convince him that there really is something special to that style of bitter brew. This is only the beginning of what Opie Radio intends to bring you here at The Westwood One Podcast Network. Ben Perry is a market manager at Lagunitas Brewing Company. He's spent 22 years in the beer industry, and worked his way up from night loader to sales rep. He's Cicerone trained (beer nerd certificate), specializing in draft beer installation. He also started a podcast 2.5 years ago with a good friend, Brad, called "Sports Meats Beer". https://twitter.com/sportsmeatsbeer https://twitter.com/carlruiz See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
