One of Carl's west coast friends Ben Perry was kind enough to pick me up in San Francisco and drive me up to Santa Rosa.  Never talked to Ben before so why not podcast our first conversation.  We talk about Carl, beer, I try to get people to jump off the Golden Gate bridge and more.  I'm in California for a very special taping of Guy Fieri's Grocery Games as they pay tribute to Carl Ruiz.

Blackberry Smoke Vic Henley Jim Florentine Chuck from North Carolina 12/27
I now cherish the last year of radio I did especially with the passing of my dear friends Carl Ruiz and Vic Henley.  I was able to come to the realization why I went into radio all those years ago.  It was for the fun and pure joy of it.  The last year was filled with ugliness, drama and a ton of laughter.  Me, Carl Ruiz, Vic Henley and Sherrod Small had the time of our lives on and off the radio show.  Our close friendships was on full display.  The last year also saw Carl Ruiz blossom into a superstar which led me to do the Opie Radio podcast with him.  A special thanks to Erock, Clubsoda Kenny, Paul and Louis for going on this ride with us.  Hope you enjoy the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of the last year of radio I did.

Live at Gebhards Beer Culture with Matt and Little Foot with Comedians Ron the Waiter and JQ. Talking nyc earthquake and the lame eclipse. Bob Kelly should have taken the hit, if you're a bigger person you should never tweet "was that an earthquake?", that can't be your favorite band, wrestling stinks, the bathroom at CBGB, if you don't do this I don't trust you, that's why they invented the drop ceiling, we don't talk about why Matt was arrested in Thailand, can you be just friends with the opposite sex, Ron's crazy mom story and more!
