While broadcasting on WNEW in New York City, Opie and Anthony staged a stunt involving a clear bus displaying nudity while driving through Manhattan. The bit quickly spiraled when police pulled the bus over, leading to arrests that included comedians Jim Norton and Lewis Black, along with members of the Opie and Anthony staff.In this episode of Why Are You Laughing?, we break down how the Voyeur Bus stunt came together, why Opie and Anthony pushed the idea, and how it reflected the anything-goes mentality of early two thousands shock radio. We walk through the police response, the arrests, and the media backlash that followed, without overstating the consequences or misrepresenting what happened next.We also discuss why the Voyeur Bus remains such a defining chapter in the Opie and Anthony legacy, how it reshaped public perception of the show, and why it still stands as one of the clearest examples of radio testing — and crossing — its limits.FOR ALL THINGS BLIND MIKEhttp://blindmike.netFOR ALL THINGS CRAIGGERShttp://www.verygoodshow.orgFOR ALL THINGS HACKRIDEhttp://hackridethedemon.comFOR ALL THINGS DJ ELECTRA FRYhttp://djelectrafry.com
