Podcasts about Opie

Carl Ruiz Doug BensonSherrod Small 4/1The final year of my radio journey holds a special place in my heart, made even more poignant by the loss of my cherished friends, Carl Ruiz and Vic Henley. Reflecting on that time, I rediscovered the pure passion and exhilaration that drew me to radio in the first place. Amidst the chaos and challenges, we found endless moments of hilarity and camaraderie. Alongside Carl, Vic, and Sherrod Small, we shared unforgettable experiences both on and off the airwaves, our tight-knit bond shining through every episode. That year also marked Carl Ruiz's meteoric rise to stardom, inspiring me to launch the Opie Radio podcast with him. I'm immensely grateful to Erock, Clubsoda Kenny, Paul, and Louis for joining us on this wild ride. Get ready to dive into the rollercoaster of emotions—the highs, the lows, and the laugh-out-loud moments—that defined my last year in radio. 

*Live at Gebhards Beer Culture NYC with Opie and comedians Ron Berman and Tony P (nipple rings,    ticket fighter, abortion survivor).*Ron's dad swiped his bar mitzvah cash. Tony's mom botched the abortion.$75 ticket dings mid-app download. Who has the most dreamy eyes?*Jewish mob tales: 78-year-old boss Mr. Toby.*Tony's GF froze in a car at Mohegan Sun during his 5–6 year blackjack bender. Turks & Caicos casino freakout: “I DON'T WANNA GO BACK!”*Ex-fiancée bolted for Playgirl's Man of the Year—Brad Pitt's Fight Club double with a Prince Albert.*Ron's right side shorter (leg, thumb, testicle); hip surgery needed.*NYC Marathon hell: 3:30am start, 2-hour wait in colonial barracks, 55,000 runners doing WHAT off Verrazano Bridge! Ron hand-holds stunning London stranger for final 2 miles, finishes together.*Rant: “Every show has a gay character—I watch Matlock.” Tony caps with 90s freestyle rap battle.

Aaron Imholte was back on his show after a week in Stearns County jail. His ability to spin negative experiences in his life into positive moments is insane. Aaron taught the inmates how to have fun, was recognized by every jail employee, and discovered the secret to living a fulfilled life. We've been having fun analyzing Aaron for a while but seriously, this man is insane. Right? Adam Busch has been following the Opester closely ever since Ron the Waiter confronted him about Anthony's recent rant that exposed Opie for who he really is. Ron is the star of the show now so Opie's filibustering with nonsensical stories from his childhood. There's a great compilation of Stuttering John insulting his daughter. We go back to 2016 to watch John completely sabotage Stephanie Miller's interview with Heather McDonald. Megan and Annie join us for another round of “Is It Gay?”, recent reviews, and your voicemails.

Opie kicks off the early-morning stream with wet hair and zero filter alongside Ron the Waiter. They torch NYC's mayoral circus — Zohran “Mom Donnie” Mamdani's $30/hr minimum wage fantasy, Cuomo's comeback creep, and Curtis Sliwa's leaky-eyed cat rants. Ron breaks down why you always tip in cash (spoiler: credit cards rob you blind), while Opie relives stealing porn mags and sprinting for freedom. From hurricane-crushed Jamaica to air traffic controllers delivering Chipotle, plus THC Doritos, Jewish vampires, and Trump's Epstein panic — it's unhinged, unapologetic, and 100% Opie Radio.

Opie kicks off with Rick Rubin's 10,000-spin obsession with Tom Petty's Full Moon Fever, then debates perfect albums (Zeppelin IV, The Bends, Metallica's Black Album). Ron the Waiter jumps in to help trash the Statue of Liberty (Eiffel's ugly sister?), debate 18-inning World Series records, and spiral into AI wiping out coders, CPAs, window washers & cashiers. Cats, Cuomo vs. Mamdani, and McDonald's penny-less rounding rules cap the chaos. Live-streamed sunrise, zero filter—classic Opie Radio.

We're celebrating Jocktober by revisiting Mojo in the Morning, a show that airs in Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Toledo. Bianca is the newest member of the show and she might be super hot! Oh wait… nope, we checked her Instagram. Either way, she has an unpleasant conversation with a coworker and that becomes a call-in segment.  Trucker Andy joins the show to reveal that their listeners are cucks and that Mojo has the worst take ever on the NBA gambling scandal. Ray DeVito has a drunk cokehead on his show and talks to her like she's speaking coherently. Erock sent in an example of radio's dystopian future, the Fred Show's fake “waiting by the phone” segment, and a pre-recorded NYC morning show. Opie is back at Gebhard's with Ron the Waiter and they have the worst possible takes on ICE raids and the NBA gambling scandal. Kevin Brennan failed miserably trying to sabotage Stuttering John's standup show with Geno and Keanu in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Speaking of StutJo, he was wasted on Friday night with guest Ava Raiza who admits she visited his trans son's house. What?? We end with Net News and your voicemails.

Buckle up for a hilarious and unfiltered episode of the Opie Radio podcast featuring Artie Lange, Jim Norton, and Vic Henley! Artie takes the mic and runs with it, diving into a whirlwind of stories from New York's chaotic traffic and tunnel terrors to the mind-blowing concept of driverless Ubers. The crew swaps tales of wild road gigs, including a bizarre encounter with a club owner's nude drawing racket and a driver dodging county lines because of an ankle bracelet. From gambling heartbreaks to unhinged rants about Bill Cosby, Gilbert Gottfried's roast heroics, and the Playboy Mansion's legendary grotto, this episode is packed with laugh-out-loud moments and classic Artie chaos. 

Join Indonesian superstar Pandji Pragiwaksono and Ron the Waiter on the Opie Radio podcast! Pandji, the pioneer of stand-up comedy in Indonesia, left behind fame and success to pursue the American Dream and test his comedic chops in the U.S. Often compared to Kevin Hart, Pandji's unique journey defies labels, as Opie passionately explains. From hosting a bold, Jon Stewart-style show in Indonesia—where he was fired for his outspoken views—to sharing insights about his homeland, known for cat poop coffee, the corpse flower, and Komodo dragons, Pandji's story is as captivating as it is inspiring. Dive into this fascinating conversation about comedy, culture, and chasing dreams!  Opie also expresses his disdain for Ryan Seacrest and Opie and Ron gives the latest on the controversial Mayor's race in New York City!

Buckle up for a wild ride in this Supercut episode of Trippin with Opie and Matt, a lean, mean spin-off of the Opie Radio podcast! Join Opie, Matt and comedians Ron the Waiter and Tony P as we dive into hilarious and unfiltered stories from the NYC subway—think breastfeeding moms, crack-smoking chaos, and a near Fight Club moment. Plus, we spill on guilty pleasures like rollerblading rinks and strip club shenanigans, with a side of hazy IPA-fueled confessions. No fat, just the good stuff. Subscribe for more raw, real, and ridiculous tales! 

We have an explosive episode where Opie is forced by Ron the Waiter to confront reality for the first time. But first, Keanu gets called out for scrolling through her mom's phone without permission. Keanu really has zero regard for people's private information. KarmicX is completely out of things to do on his show but thankfully Adam is in his chat so it gives him the opportunity to scream about Adam and me being gay. A racist podcast has an opinion about my takes on Whitney Cummings. Myster Magenta has a new song dedicated to Aaron Imholte's jail sentence. Ava Raiza revealed a potential scheme from the Shuli Network that involved StutJo's trans son and John couldn't be happier to play the victim! We watch the second and third episodes of John's epic failures on the Pro Football Arm Wrestling Championship. Ron the Waiter watched Anthony Cumia's recent takedown of Opie and he learned a lot about his podcasting partner that he was unaware of. Thankfully, Ron took copious notes and really took the Opester to task. It's brilliant and one of the most significant events to ever happen on Opie's stream. Megan and Annie join us for another round of “Is It Gay?” and Cardiff's “To Poke A Dabbler.” And finally Megan reads some Spotify comments and we hear your voicemails.  Support us, get bonus episodes, and watch live every Saturday and Wednesday: ⁠http://bit.ly/watp-patreon⁠ ⁠https://watp.supercast.tech/⁠ Watch this episode here: https://youtube.com/live/xFSqtHOgAbI  Learn more about your ad choices.

With raw honesty, Opie reflects on regrets, therapy insights, and the toxic dynamics of their past, while addressing claims from other comics like Rich Vos and Louis C.K. Buckle up for a no-holds-barred look at radio rivalries, betrayal, and the truth behind the Opie and Anthony saga. Subscribe for more unfiltered stories!

Opie kicks off with a hilarious throwback clip of KISS legend Ace Frehley crashing Jim Norton's birthday on the old O&A show—complete with Jimmy's wild childhood Kiss beatdown fantasies and a botched "New York Groove" cover. He pays tribute to the late Ace as the "nicest guy in Kiss." Then, unfiltered rants on: Trump's pardon of George Santos (and why politics is a "dirty game"), the chaotic NYC mayor race with Zohran Mamdani poised to win amid Cuomo-Sliwa beef, epic No Kings Day protests (including old folks in wheelchairs hating Trump), and Diwali vibes—celebrating light over darkness, good over evil. Family movie night disasters: The 2015 Vacation reboot holds up better than the "pile of shit" 1983 original (RIP tit shots & stereotypes), Blended flops hard, and Adam Sandler gets roasted as overrated.

The trio dives into raucous banter about everything from Ron's questionable audition for a Benjamin Franklin role to Tony P's flooded basement and surprising fear of swimming. Things take a soulful turn when musical guest Michael G.

We start with an update on Aaron Imholte's jail sentence and how he's coping with having to serve eight days straight. He's not sleeping well but it's not because he's dreading the pokey. He has an unbelievable attitude about his situation; it's almost like he's looking forward to it.  Vinnie Paulino joins Adam, Chris, and me to get an update on bad boy KarmicX. Because it's episode 666, Producer Chris brings some clips from our favorite metalhead motivational speaker on Metal Mascara. Whitney Cummings took money from the Saudi government and is handling the criticism about as poorly as anyone possibly could. At least Bill Burr isn't calling his detractors racists… yet. For some reason Christian Bladt and Eric Zane showed up on Tom Myers vs. the Rest of the World and treated it like a real show. Wasn't Bladt on the Dennis Miller Show? Opie briefly faked a retirement but this week he's right back to riffing with Ron the Waiter about how much money they don't make on YouTube. After some comparisons between Opie and Stuttering John, we finally strap in for John's reaction to finding out we have the Pro Football Arm Wrestling Championship that originally aired on CBS in 2017.

Self-compassion is a vital part of the Buddhist path, especially here in the West. Here, Walt Opie shares personal stories and reflections on how difficult it can be to extend kindness toward ourselves, especially when we're caught in patterns of self-judgment or perfectionism. Walt emphasizes that self-compassion isn't selfish—it's foundational. When we treat ourselves with care and understanding, we're better able to show up for others and engage with the world from a place of balance and authenticity.Walt also highlights several key practices and perspectives to cultivate self-compassion:Mindful awareness – noticing when we're being hard on ourselves and gently shifting our inner dialogue.Loving-kindness (Metta) – directing phrases of goodwill inward, not just outward.Common humanity – remembering that suffering and imperfection are part of being human.Letting go of the inner critic – recognizing that harsh self-talk doesn't lead to growth, but gentle encouragement might.Taking refuge in the Dharma – using the teachings as a source of support and clarity during difficult times.Throughout the talk, Walt reminds us that self-compassion is a skill we can build—not a personality trait we either have or don't. It's a practice of returning to ourselves with warmth, patience, and the willingness to be imperfect.______________Walt Opie was introduced to insight meditation in 1993 at Spirit Rock and attended his first residential retreat there in 2005. He is a graduate of both the Spirit Rock Community Dharma Leaders' (CDL4) program and the Sati Center Buddhist Chaplaincy program. Walt is a participant in the current Insight Meditation Society (IMS) Teacher Training program. He leads a monthly sitting group for people in recovery in Berkeley and serves as a volunteer Buddhist facilitator at Solano State Prison in Vacaville. In addition, he is the Executive Director of the Buddhist Pathways Prison Project (BP3). ______________ To support our efforts to share these talks with LGBTQIA audiences worldwide, please visit https://gaybuddhist.org/There you can: Donate Learn how to participate live Find our schedule of upcoming speakers Join our mailing list or discussion forum Enjoy many hundreds of these recorded talks dating back to 1996 CREDITSAudio Engineer: George HubbardProducer: Tom BrueinMusic/Logo/Artwork: Derek Lassiter

Comedy legend Robert Klein, Carl Ruiz, Sherrod Small 3/30Join Opie for a side-splitting SiriusXM episode featuring comedy icon Robert Klein, where they riff on the legends who shaped stand-up: Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, and the controversial Bill Cosby. With Klein's razor-sharp wit and stories from his storied career, they unpack the groundbreaking documentary Robert Klein Still Can't Stop His Leg, premiering on Starz March 31st. From Klein's early days at Second City to his HBO specials and wild Hollywood tales—like sharing a scene with Marilyn Chambers—this episode is a laugh-packed journey through comedy history, cultural shifts, and personal anecdotes. Joined by Klein's son Alli and director Marshall Fine, the conversation sparkles with nostalgia, humor, and unexpected revelations, making it a must-listen for comedy fans and newcomers alike.The final year of my radio journey holds a special place in my heart, made even more poignant by the loss of my cherished friends, Carl Ruiz and Vic Henley. Reflecting on that time, I rediscovered the pure passion and exhilaration that drew me to radio in the first place. Amidst the chaos and challenges, we found endless moments of hilarity and camaraderie. Alongside Carl, Vic, and Sherrod Small, we shared unforgettable experiences both on and off the airwaves, our tight-knit bond shining through every episode. That year also marked Carl Ruiz's meteoric rise to stardom, inspiring me to launch the Opie Radio podcast with him. I'm immensely grateful to Erock, Clubsoda Kenny, Paul, and Louis for joining us on this wild ride. Get ready to dive into the rollercoaster of emotions—the highs, the lows, and the laugh-out-loud moments—that defined my last year in radio. 

We start things off in Austin, TX where Brendan Schaub has been let down by his son's performance on the baseball diamond. Remember when I said it's not smart for Bapa to rely on his nine year-old's athletic achievements to justify moving the entire family to Texas? Fly on the Wall had Charlie Sheen on and Emilio Estevez was kind of on the show, too. Chad Zumock received a compliment from Adam Busch and didn't know how to process it. Steel Toe is going to serve jail time and his cope is that it's actually going to be a great time and he probably won't want to leave his new friends. Stuttering John has three friends who are mad at him and poor Ava has to console him. Anthony Cumia can't wait to show up to court for StutJo's defamation suit. Opie just posted video of Stuttering John and Dave Attell guesting on Opie with Jim Norton. It turns out O&A breaking up wasn't Opie's fault at all. On Opie's morning stream we learn that Opie's daughter had a birthday party and a very special gift. Opie also has a hilarious bit about female hygiene products and Ron the Waiter is calling out Opie and reading private text messages. Megan joins us for a round of Is It Gay?, Annie is on for another edition of To Poke A Dabbler, we tease the next episode, read recent reviews and comments, and listen to your voicemails.  Support us, get bonus episodes, and watch live every Saturday and Wednesday: ⁠http://bit.ly/watp-patreon⁠ ⁠https://watp.supercast.tech/⁠ Watch this episode here: https://youtube.com/live/IXOltWd_si0 Learn more about your ad choices.

In this explosive episode of the Opie Radio podcast we dip into Opie's archives, boxing legend Mike Tyson joins Opie in the studio alongside comedians Pete Davidson and Jim Norton for a no-holds-barred conversation. Tyson opens up about his struggles with addiction, his candid autobiography, and the mindset that made him a champion, blending raw honesty with humor. From tales of his wild past, including hotel escapades and a Brazilian brothel brawl, to heartfelt reflections on fatherhood and personal growth, Tyson keeps it real. Pete and Jim bring their comedic flair, riffing on everything from gambling to relationships, while the group dives into hilarious tangents about UFC, celebrity encounters, and even a notorious MMA mishap. Tune in for an unfiltered, laugh-out-loud session that's as intense and unpredictable as Tyson himself!

In this special edition episode, I sat down with my long time, old friend, Mayhem.   Mayhem and I became boys back in highschool and although we have been busy with the roads that life has took us down, it was great to chat and catch up.   Mayhem is a comedian, formerly working on the old, but famous, Opie and Anthony show.   In this episode, we hit such a wide range of topics, including Mayhem's experience with fasting and fitness, as someone that has been overweight his entire life, to various conspiracies and chasing after your dream and what it takes to achieve that dream.   This is a long one, but a great one! Enjoy! Be Unconventional, Kyle aka Panda Man P.S. - If you are ready for my help, which means you either are sick and tired of being sick and tired and you feel like you've hit rock bottom, OR if you are a high achiever and want to take your life to the next level in mind, body and spirit, shoot me a text and we can kick around some ideas.  908-229-6666

This week we're celebrating Jocktober by reviewing multiple radio shows. We start with the biggest name in morning radio, Howard Stern. On Tuesday the king of all media had a ridiculous argument with his wife about whether or not he's “fun.” It's pretty obvious that this marriage is on the ropes based on the conversation and the specific words that are being used by Beth. Erik Nagel joins the show along with first-time guest and Howard Stern expert MLP. NYC news station 1010 WINS had a very unfortunate x-rated broadcast earlier this week. Tom Myers is back with his political podcast after taking the entire summer off and his monologue does disappoint. Morning radio staple War of the Roses had a short-lived and ill-advised animated series that iHeart quickly removed from Earth. Opie addresses the purchased views and complains about $2 superchats from “haters.” Jeffrey from the morning duo Brooke and Jeffrey sings a parody song about Cal Raleigh and there isn't a joke to be found. We help the very stable Pulper connect with Erock. Stuttering John might have a new lawsuit on his hands as Anthony Cumia claims John SA'd a woman in Vegas. Finally, we play a round of To Poke A Dabbler, get caught up on Internet News, and listen to recent voicemails.  Check out Erock - http://itseriknagel.com/ Support us, get bonus episodes, and watch live every Saturday and Wednesday: ⁠http://bit.ly/watp-patreon⁠ ⁠https://watp.supercast.tech/⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Geno Burro (Rocco) joins the show to discuss the falling out between Geno Bisconte and Aaron as well as report on what really happened in the courtroom.  Theo Von had a bad outing at the Beacon Theater while recording his NetFlix special but don't worry, Brendan Schaub steps in to help his buddy deal with the haters. How does Bapa still not understand how the internet works? Ron the Waiter is feeling more and more powerful and is really starting to give it back to Opie who appears to be taking it (for now). Adam was checking out how Marc Maron and Billy West handled Stuttering John when they were guests on the Stephanie Miller Show.

Alongside Carl, Vic, and Sherrod Small, we shared unforgettable experiences both on and off the airwaves, our tight-knit bond shining through every episode.

This week we start off in rural Minnesota where KarmicX is having a tough go. He's already having a bad day when Adam Busch shows up in the chat and Karmic takes notice. He has a Rob Saul-esque meltdown over the most innocuous chats. The good news is, he might be teaming up with Aaron Imholte on Steel Toe if they can figure out the contract.  We watch Keanu Thompson make up stories about me while on Misery Loves Company with Kevin Brennan. Apparently when I was in the Catskills at Chrissie Mayr's event, I was a nervous wreck, crying about Keanu potentially telling KB about my live show. Wow, what a crazy break from reality.
