Jim Florentine tells Opie and Carl he waited until 18 to have sex because of Catholic hell, then immediately jerked off after. He also missed softball playoffs with bursitis from his right arm. Opie let a shaman blow Peruvian plant powder up both nostrils until he puked and saw his dead dad. Then they go full strip-club war stories and torch Netflix, late night, and cancel culture.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/opie-carl--6679362/support.

Jim Florentine walks into Opie and Carl’s tiny new studio for the first time since Opie got fired and immediately starts cooking. Lightning delays at a Dolphins game, falling off stadium ramps, ketchup as liquid sugar, grandpa beers vs. IPAs that taste like feet, prenups you can never bring up in Rome, Carl giving away the restaurant to stay free and clear, and Jim’s special I Got the House. Then it gets real: the shaman in an LA condo who said the exact words from his ex’s suicide note, Catholic guilt, support groups, and why he flew across the country when he “hates everything.” Classic O&A-style hang — laughs, rants, and the stuff you don’t say anywhere else.

Carl is maxed out in the creepy cabin. The town is a disaster. The seawall is breached. The girls at the bar have gone from “Hi Carl” to “Hey Carl.” So he times his TV appearance, walks into the bar, points at the screen, and walks out with a 7.5 in her late 20s. No prep. No Blue Chew. Lost it on entry. Then he has to redeem himself… and the next morning they walk a quarter-mile down a country road past four towns of firefighters who all know him because the house across the street just burned down. Opie, Carl, and Jim Florentine (Nike from head to toe) go off on Twitter trolls, $2 salad bars, fruity beers, and why nobody can laugh at a politician anymore. Pure unfiltered Ruiz Army chaos.

Opie’s birthday turns into pure chaos with Carl Ruiz (the Mad Cuban, Food Network star) and comedian Mark Normand. Carl recounts Roland’s legendary 30-second bathroom fart + the time he was spooked by every truck on the drive to Nashville. Mark goes full degenerate mode with wild Vegas stories: downtown Fremont debauchery, roulette wins/losses, the greatest buffet on earth, and those magical hangover IV drips. Plus Yeti gift roasting, Trump calling terrorists “evil losers,” fidget spinner rants, Ryan Seacrest’s Ghost blunder, and nonstop unfiltered banter. One of the funniest, most unhinged episodes yet.If you love raw comedy podcasts with zero filter, hit play. New episodes drop regularly — subscribe and turn on notifications!

Carl’s back from the family road trip to Memphis in May BBQ Championship and he did NOT hold back. Sherrod Small in studio as Carl spills on 17-hour drives with angry-wife speeding, tricking the kids with alligator “chicken fingers,” Bass Pro Shops pyramid fishing, getting blackout on blue Hawaiian fishbowl drinks, Winner’s Row BBQ with Michelin-star pitmasters, and the unsettling VIP Graceland tour where Elvis is buried in the backyard. Grateful Dead doc talk + Southern pie debates included. Absolute chaos. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/opie-carl--6679362/support.

Carl’s off living the Food Network life, so Opie does what he does best: hits the streets of Bay Ridge with Yannis Pappas while Chris Distefano sits in the chair getting a haircut. What follows is pure walking-around chaos — ice coffee runs, emergency pee-cup planning, old-school radio war stories, Louis CK debates, and two guys just shooting the shit with zero filter while their friend gets lines cut into his head. No studio. No rules. Just the exact messy street hang the Opie & Carl audience lives for. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/opie-carl--6679362/support.

While Carl Ruiz is off living his best Food Network life, Opie hits the streets of Brooklyn with Chris Distefano and Yannis Pappas… and somehow ends up getting a haircut in the most old-school Bay Ridge barbershop imaginable. Expect pure chaos: a neighborhood legend who walks around in a full suit every day, debates about thinning hair and comb-overs, a guy sharpening an alarming number of pencils, the return of “The Duv,” Opie admitting he hasn’t worn shoes in three months, and the kind of random, unfiltered nonsense that only happens when these three are left unsupervised. This is Opie & Carl energy with zero Carl and 100% Brooklyn. You’re welcome. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/opie-carl--6679362/support.

Stacy shows up with enough booze and Benton’s ham to start a small war, Vic gets emotional over Alabama barbecue, Carl nearly throws hands over ice-cream sandwiches, and the whole studio turns into a drunken food orgy while they roast Comey, Putin’s hockey goals, Little People Big World drama, and every TV personality they hate.
