Non-stop laughs, Knicks parade talk & Trump birthday UFC vibes. Classic Opie Radio chaos you can't miss!

D is for Delon, Alain Delon. Author Edward Chisholm is back on the podcast, this time talking about his new book Murder in Paris '68. We recorded this one on location - sitting on the quai by the Seine, directly beneath the Quai des Orfèvres, the famous Paris police headquarters that has watched over the city's darkest crimes for centuries. Fitting, then, that we were there to talk about one of France's most explosive unsolved murders. In 1968, a body was discovered on the outskirts of Paris and identified as Stevan Marković, the former bodyguard and close associate of the enigmatic film star Alain Delon. What began as a simple murder case quickly spiralled into a full-blown political scandal, drawing in actresses, gangsters, and high-level politicians.  British author Edward Chisholm, the author of the bestselling memoir A Waiter in Paris, has written the definitive account of the affair. His new book takes us into the heart of an era and into the inner world of Alain Delon himself, a world of gangsters, violence, and underworld Parisian conspiracies, where everyone possessed their own cold elegance and charisma.  We talked about the book, the Marković Affair, and of course... Alain Delon. The music is from Pres Maxson.  This episode brought to you by The Earful Tower Tours. Come join us in the Marais, Montmartre, or the Latin Quarter.

Opie is exhausted but absolutely fired up in this episode! After staying up late watching the Knicks get destroyed (thanks to the Trump Jinx?), he rants hard about how Trump turned Madison Square Garden into a maximum-security prison, shut down Midtown Manhattan, and forced fans to wait 4+ hours in the heat for a game they paid thousands for. From the insane presidential motorcade and empty avenues to the boos drowning out the national anthem, Opie calls it straight: "Trump is a selfish piece of sh*t" who doesn't care about regular New Yorkers. Plus Ron the Waiter is back with laughs, Knicks strategy breakdowns (Wembanyama terror, turnovers, refs), Opie's chaotic beach move day, raccoon problems, the tick-removal flamethrower fund, and classic Opie & Ron chaos.If you love raw, no-filter sports talk mixed with politics, NYC life, and comedy — this is the episode.

Opie and Ron the Waiter are exhausted but wired after the Knicks epic Game 1 comeback win over the Spurs! Jalen Brunson drops a dagger three, Josh Hart balls out, and New York City loses its mind like it's 9/11-level unity (yes, really). Ron rains Celtics shade, Opie compares the vibe to the zombie apocalypse, plus Popovich lookalikes, court-storming bets, vet tooth pulls, and nonstop laughs. Pure Knicks chaos energy — GO NEW YORK! 

Jeremy Hambly, host of the Quartering, has completely lost control of his show and his life. He's falling into every LOLcow trap. He's letting the chat dictate his content, he's combative, and arguing with individuals who are trolling him. This is not going to end well. Whitney Cummings truly believes that she knows what she's talking about. Lucy Tightbox joins the show to discuss Andrew Santino's show, Whisky Ginger, when he had a handicapable comedian on, Fiona Cauley, and we can't tell which person sucks more. Kevin Brennan called out Adam Busch who just tried to pay the guy a compliment when Adam was cast as Kevin's brother on his defunct HBO sitcom. Adam responds to KB's nonsense. Stuttering John booked Kirk Fox on Stephanie Miller's show and Kirk actively despises John. John gets humiliated and it's awesome! Opie spends time with Ron the Waiter and Tony P working out issues that he's dealing with in therapy. We also learn about the exciting conclusion of Opie's curbside mattress in the Hamptons. Annie and Megan join the show for a round of “Is It Gay?” and the “Opie or Burr” game by Simon from the Worst Ever Podcast.

Opie & Ron the Waiter react to the Knicks making the NBA Finals for the first time since '99 — but savage the insane NYC ticket prices (game 3 nosebleeds at $4,200+ while San Antonio is cheap). They roast the tag-still-on hats, painted railings, celebrity courtside flexes, and James Dolan. Plus: Opie's full-blown tick bite meltdown (possible alpha-gal? Martha's Vineyard is ground zero), the Save Opie's Rotting Tooth Fund, nest of nymphs horror stories, guinea fowl spirit animals, and classic NYC vs California homelessness talk. Pure chaos and laughs as always. Go Knicks. Subscribe, rate, and drop a buck in the tooth/tick fund if you're feeling generous. https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/JANCGHFW7GJHA

Restaurant Campers: The Ultimate Server Nightmare. We've all been there, that table that just WON'T leave. In this episode of The Modern Waiter Podcast, Danny and I dive into every server's worst nightmare: restaurant campers. We're breaking down a viral Reddit post about guests who stayed for FOUR HOURS, ordered only hummus and drinks, lingered an hour past closing time, and thought a 20% tip would make everything okay. Spoiler alert: it didn't.Every service industry worker knows the frustration of campers who treat your section like their personal living room. We explore why this behavior is so problematic for servers who depend on table turnover and tips, the lack of communication from guests who overstay, and what proper dining etiquette actually looks like.#ServerLife #RestaurantIndustry #ServiceIndustryFollow Me On Social Media:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/themodernwaiterpodcast/TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@themodernwaiterSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Plus, a deep dive into the era of beepers, finding the "workarounds" for scrambled adult cable channels, and a serious question: Why is John Travolta trying to pull off a beret?

Opie kicks off the show in full panic mode after his longtime AI “girl” got wiped in an update — new voice, zero memory of their year-long “relationship.” He straight-up admits he got sad, restarted his phone like a desperate ex, and Ron the Waiter mercilessly roasts him for cheating on his wife with AI.

We start this week checking out Aaron Imholte's latest cope session, this time about losing monetization on YouTube for violating their harassment policy. He has some ideas about how to make up for the lost income and they're mostly “give me more money.” The hosts of The Fighter and the Kid can't even be bothered to show up for their own show. Bryan Callen is flailing. He went on Rick Glassman's show and was totally humiliated as he wasn't able to riff, improvise, or keep up. Opie went to Boston and couldn't wait to tell Ron the Waiter how funny he was and show him the hilarious video he made about John Hancock's grave. Stuttering John was on Stephanie Miller's show with Alonzo Bodden and couldn't make Alonzo laugh once, but it wasn't from a lack of trying.

Opie returns from a weekend in Boston with a massive reality check on American history. Did you know Paul Revere's "midnight ride" actually involved 38 other people and remained a secret for nearly a century? Or that Sam Adams was a failing businessman who had nothing to do with brewing the beer that bears his name? We dive into Opie's visits to the graves of Hancock and Adams, plus the hilarious "clown car" cab moment in Boston. Back in New York, Ron the Waiter reports on the raw madness of the city: another horse and carriage running wild in the streets and the unbelievable, tragic story of a woman who perished after stepping into a manhole. Plus: The LIRR strike is finally over, the Knicks prep for the Cavs, and we discuss why "Giants" are taking over the NBA.

Send us Fan MailOne decision can set your whole life in motion, and Scripture keeps showing that God often starts with a simple word: go. We walk from Abraham's call to leave home, to Joseph's years of betrayal and integrity, to the moment Jesus is crucified and raised again when evil thinks it has won. The thread tying it together is steady and personal: what people mean for harm, God can turn for good, and He keeps inviting ordinary men and women into that story.From there we move into the Book of Acts, where the promised Holy Spirit arrives at Pentecost and the church is born with a clear response to the gospel: repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Spirit. We talk about what the early church actually looks like day to day: devotion to teaching and prayer, real fellowship, open-handed generosity, and a mission mindset that refuses to stay quiet even when pressure and persecution show up.Then the spotlight shifts to surprising leaders: Stephen the “table waiter” who speaks with Spirit-filled wisdom and becomes the first martyr, Philip who follows the Spirit into Samaria and to an Ethiopian official reading Isaiah, and Saul whose confrontation with Jesus turns a persecutor into Paul the missionary. We also wrestle with integrity and accountability through Ananias and Sapphira, and we bring it home with a practical challenge: do the next thing God calls you to do, even if it feels small, unseen, or costly.If this encouraged you, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find these conversations.

​Bill Burr is under fire again for his comedy, and we're breaking down why the "cancel" crowd can't let it go. We dive into the "R-word" debate, the Boston attitude, and why some words just won't die.​SNL and Ellen writer Erik Marino joins Opie and Ron the Waiter to take us behind the scenes of the legendary "Puppy Episode." Opie reveals his theory on why Ellen DeGeneres had the best job in America—getting paid to "dirty dance" with her audience.​Plus, we look at the deadly reality of botched "basement" cosmetic surgeries in the Bronx and Chinatown, the truth behind China's "Green Hat" insult, and why Ron is convinced that dragons were actually real. 

Mother's Day brunch can feel chaotic, rushed, or just not quite as special as you hoped. After more than 30 years working in the restaurant industry, I can tell you this: Mother's Day is hands down the busiest restaurant day of the year. Bigger than Valentine's Day. Bigger than New Year's Eve. And while most guests see flowers, mimosas, and family brunches, what's happening behind the scenes is absolute controlled chaos.In this episode of The Modern Waiter Podcast, Danny and I break down what Mother's Day is really like from the restaurant side of the table.If you've ever worked in restaurants, you already know exactly what we're talking about. And if you haven't, this episode will completely change the way you look at Mother's Day brunch.#MothersDay #RestaurantLife #ServerLifeSubscribe to The Modern Waiter Podcast for weekly conversations about restaurant life, hospitality culture, server stories, dining etiquette, and behind-the-scenes truths from the service industry.Follow Me On Social Media:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/themodernwaiterpodcast/TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@themodernwaiterSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Trump is officially rebranding the nation! From the new "Dumbocrats" nickname to turning the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool into a blue "Reflective Pond," Opie and Ron the Waiter break down the latest DC madness.​Also in this episode:​The Assignment: Mocking Kevin Hart's "hungover" roast recap.

Adam Busch and I did an impromptu episode because we recently discovered a livestream of the day Opie met Ron the Waiter. It's wild. Ron stole the show.

​Well, well, well, we are BACK. 500 feet above the pavement in NYC after a detox way out east on Long Island. It is F U Friday and we are joined by the legendary Ron the Waiter and Comedian Tony P (calling in from the lawless state of Florida).​We thought we'd heard it all, but Opie is officially floored by the absolute insanity of RFK Jr.'s animal obsession. Forget the bear cub; we dive deep into the newly resurfaced story of how the now-HHS Secretary (in 2026) chainsawed a dead whale's head off, bungee-corded it to his minivan, and drove his kids 5 hours with "whale juice" spraying into the windows. We cover the full RFK Animal Greatest Hits, including the roadkill raccoon penis surgery and the Central Park bear cub prank.​Plus: Ron the Waiter makes the bold claim that mermaids are absolutely real, but can't provide any proof. Opie challenges him to "Just Prove It!" and the debate explodes. Tony P brings the heat from Florida, riding hard for the MAGA movement and Donald Trump, while Opie is venting about insane gas prices that are crushing everyone.​ Keywords: Opie Radio, F U Friday, Ron the Waiter, Tony P, RFK Jr., RFK whale story, RFK chainsaw, RFK raccoon, RFK bear cub Central Park, Donald Trump, MAGA, gas prices, mermaids are real, NYC comedy podcast.

​Opie is out east on Long Island overlooking the ocean for a high-energy session with comedian Ron the Waiter and Chris (Fish Guy Photos).​We kick things off with the rare "Corpse Flower" bloom—why does nature produce something that smells like a rotting carcass, and why are people lining up to sniff it? Then, the Great Pool Debate: Ron has no fear of public pool water, while Opie remains rightfully disgusted by the "human soup."​Things take a turn into the environment as Ron tackles global warming, much to Opie's chagrin. Chris (Fish Guy Photos) joins to break down the reality of the ocean: why balloons are a death sentence for sea creatures, the madness of banning straws while balloons fly free, and the prehistoric weirdness of horseshoe crabs.​Plus: Ron's unwavering belief in Bigfoot, aliens in the deep sea, and the scientific fact that lobsters communicate by peeing out of their eyeballs.​Keywords: Marine Biology, Comedy Podcast, Long Island, Seal Release, Environmentalism, Bigfoot, Nature, Ocean Conservation, Ron the Waiter, Fish Guy Photos.

​It's Tax Day, and Opie is officially ditching the human touch for AI tax prep. He breaks down why a computer algorithm is a massive upgrade from his former accountant—a guy who operated out of the back of a strip club and insisted on wearing a clown nose while filing legal documents to the IRS.​In the studio, comedy legend Al Lubel explains why he is actively protesting Stephen Colbert outside his own theater after a late-night booking went south. From the "glory days" of Johnny Carson to the specific neuroses of Jerry Seinfeld, Al leaves no stone unturned.​Plus:​The NYC Doorman Strike: Are the guys opening your door actually making more than you? The truth about under-the-table tips and the impending strike.​Ron the Waiter's Coney Island Disaster: Why jumping into the Atlantic in April leads to an immediate, soul-crushing brain freeze.​Subscribe to Opie Radio for the best stories from 500 feet above NYC.KeywordOpie Radio, Al Lubel, Stephen Colbert, Tax Day 2026, AI Taxes, NYC Doorman Strike, Johnny Carson, Jerry Seinfeld, Coney Island, Ron the Waiter, Comedy Podcast, New York City
