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.

Opie's Best nd Last Year of radio! Vault opens for a classic session with Mark Normand, Vic Henley, and the legendary Carl Ruiz.
​The guys dive into:
​The Trucker Life: Carl auditions CB radio handles (welcome, "Chef Whiskey Smoke") and gets real-world warnings from the "Snowman" on Channel 22.
​Northern Exposure: A breakdown of why dating in Canada is like "peeling an onion."
​Country Legends: Jesse Dayton stops by to share a wild, first-hand account of a pre-comeback George Jones.

Is that a road trip calling? As Carl Ruiz prepares for his epic trek to "Memphis in May"—aka the Superbowl of Swine—the studio turns into a masterclass on CB radio jargon, rock and roll myths, and the nerves behind a big comedy special.
​From debunking the legendary Lonnie Mack guitar solo on Roadhouse Blues to the truth about why celebrity chefs "shill" for copper pans, this episode is a deep dive into the weird, wild world of late-night radio and life on the road.
​Highlights from the Studio:
​The Lonnie Mack Rumor: Vic Henley settles the score on whether Robbie Robertson actually played that solo.
​CB Lingo 101: Why you should never call anyone a "good buddy" at a truck stop unless you're looking for a very specific type of companionship.
​Mark Normand’s Big Week: The internal panic of performing on Fallon while running on 11 melatonin and the "coat hanger" posture of his new special.
​The Chef Reality Check: Carl explains why Food Network stars end up selling knives at 3:00 AM just to keep the lights on.

On this wild FU Friday, Opie wakes up ornery after microwaving coffee with almond milk, sparking epic rants about "real men drink it black," Bill Burr, Boston comics, and endless Clark puns (Clark Kent, Clark Griswold, Bobby Clark — you name it). The crew dives deep into New York infrastructure hell: a massive sinkhole swallowing the LIE (Opie's old exit!), potholes vs. fancy FIFA World Cup soccer fields at MetLife, and the looming LIRR strike that could cripple Long Island commutes. Plus, the insane true story of the Florida man whose bedroom literally fell into a sinkhole — never to be seen again. Ron chows down on a bagel live on camera, the guys challenge each other to a push-up contest, super chats fly (Gary Gay Boobs and Drew Mayfield keeping it hilarious), and they roast the upcoming World Cup halftime show with Shakira, Grandma Madonna, and BTS. David Byrne/Talking Heads talk, celebrity herpes rumors, and classic Opie chaos round it out. If you love unfiltered comedy, NYC gripes, live chat energy, and zero-filter banter, this is your episode. FU Friday at its finest — raw, ridiculous, and addictive.
