Opie Unfiltered

It's FU Friday on the Opie Radio Podcast and the gang is unloading on everything — especially Mother's Day. Opie, Ron the Waiter, Tony P from the Bronx, and special guest Ron Barber (MAGA for Mamdani) go full savage on dysfunctional moms, realtors who crop out train stations, NYC traffic hell, empty subway cars, and the capitalist scam that is Mother's Day. Highlights include:

• Opie’s no-contact mom story, Ron’s lesbian mom, and Tony P revealing his mom tried to abort him (“Happy Mommy’s Day!”)
• Opie’s epic realtor FU and the house that smelled like death
• Ron Barber joins in a bathrobe with zero coffee, boat & hoes stories, and a police call on a former houseguest
• Rants on Sebastian Maniscalco’s podcast, bad angles, horizontal video, and why Tony P would crush a male strip club
• Classic Opie crew chaos, appearances, and zero filter

Raw, loud, and unapologetic New York energy. If you like your podcasts with zero safe spaces and maximum FUs, this is the one. Drop your own FU in the comments and subscribe wherever you get podcasts!

​"You have to let it fester."
​Welcome back to a heavy-hitting episode from the Best of the Last Year of Radio series. Opie is joined in-studio by the late, great Carl Ruiz and the hilarious Sherrod Small and boxing legend Gerry Cooney for a session that perfectly captures the raw, unfiltered chemistry of this era.
​We’re diving deep into the archives to bring you the stories that defined the "Last Year." From the absurdity of bringing a gaming console to a Vegas bachelor party to the "Jedi Mind Trick" Carl used to navigate the world of high-end strip clubs, nothing is off-limits.
​
Inside this episode:
​The Vegas Chronicles: Strip club etiquette, "Legs and Eggs," and the mystery of the bachelor party Xbox.
​Culinary Hot Takes: Why Peter Luger’s in Brooklyn is the only steakhouse that matters and the guys' definitive review of Pringle-crusted fried chicken.
​Family Dynamics: The infamous strategy of skipping Mother's Day calls to "let it fester" and Carl’s son's legendary performance as a "wall and a tree" in a school play.
​Hard Truths: The guys react to an Army Veteran being done dirty by a funeral home and Carl breaks down the high-stakes world of stolen luxury watches.
​Nostalgia: A rare mention of Opie and Anthony grabbing a beer and the "fist in the mouth" nerd fight that nearly derailed the show.

​Rudy Giuliani was literally given his Last Rites, but he clearly wasn’t ready to go. Opie and Ron the Waiter react to Rudy’s miraculous "bounce back" off the ventilator and the sheer New York defiance it takes to tell a priest "not today."
​We also break down the 2026 Met Gala, where the "Costume Art" theme turned the red carpet into a high-fashion fever dream. From A-listers dressed as literal mannequins to the historic debut of Aaron Rose Philip—the first Black transgender model with quadriplegic cerebral palsy to attend—we look at the thin line between "art" and "absurdity."

​The world is getting weirder, and Opie is here to keep score. In today’s episode, we are joined by Comedian Tony P to break down the terrifying news of a Hantavirus outbreak aboard the luxury cruise ship MV Hondius. We discuss the symptoms, the rodent connection, and why anyone still pays thousands of dollars to be trapped at sea with a "mouse virus."
​Then, we dive into the bizarre story of the "Tape Cleaner King," an Austin man who just pleaded guilty to moving $8.4 million in illegal poppers under the guise of "Pumpkin Spice" VCR maintenance. We also tackle the sheer frustration of the Five Boro Bike Tour holding New York City hostage, Rudy Giuliani’s critical condition in Florida, and the questionable quality of day strippers. It’s a Monday mix of high-stakes crime, medical horror, and essential New York observational humor.

Did New York City really shut down for a stuffed animal? Opie and Ron the Waiter dive into the absurdity of King Charles’ visit to NYC, where the "Royal work" consisted of planting salad in Harlem and donating a Roo doll to a library. Was it worth the gridlock?
​Plus, a reality check on the "disgusting" state of NYC sidewalks after the winter thaw. Why are New Yorkers so bad at being dog owners? We also look at the rise of the machines—from AI taking over airport baggage handling to robot neighborhood watches. The robots are coming for the "un-automatable" jobs, and they’re probably better at picking up dog poop than we are.
