from Opie Radio · host Gregg "Opie" Hughes

​It’s Tax Day, and Opie is officially ditching the human touch for AI tax prep.

From the "glory days" of Johnny Carson to the specific neuroses of Jerry Seinfeld, Al leaves no stone unturned.​Plus:​The NYC Doorman Strike: Are the guys opening your door actually making more than you? The truth about under-the-table tips and the impending strike.​Ron the Waiter’s Coney Island Disaster: Why jumping into the Atlantic in April leads to an immediate, soul-crushing brain freeze.​Subscribe to Opie Radio for the best stories from 500 feet above NYC.KeywordOpie Radio, Al Lubel, Stephen Colbert, Tax Day 2026, AI Taxes, NYC Doorman Strike, Johnny Carson, Jerry Seinfeld, Coney Island, Ron the Waiter, Comedy Podcast, New York City
