Jim Florentine and his donut tire - Best and Last Year of Radio

Jim Florentine Vic Henley 3/27Join Opie with comedians Vic Henley and Jim Florentine for a hilarious and unfiltered episode! The trio dives into U2’s Achtung Baby turning 25, sharing tour stories and Bono’s antics. They react to Kanye West’s Trump comments, debate the Starbucks meltdown over a Trump voter’s coffee delay, and laugh about parenting mishaps in public. From flat tires in Manhattan to celebrity photo gripes, this episode is packed with rants, laughs, and classic rock nostalgia. The final year of my radio journey holds a special place in my heart, made even more poignant by the loss of my cherished friends, Carl Ruiz and Vic Henley. Reflecting on that time, I rediscovered the pure passion and exhilaration that drew me to radio in the first place. Amidst the chaos and challenges, we found endless moments of hilarity and camaraderie. Alongside Carl, Vic, and Sherrod Small, we shared unforgettable experiences both on and off the airwaves, our tight-knit bond shining through every episode. That year also marked Carl Ruiz's meteoric rise to stardom, inspiring me to launch the Opie Radio podcast with him. I'm immensely grateful to Erock, Clubsoda Kenny, Paul, and Louis for joining us on this wild ride. Get ready to dive into the rollercoaster of emotions—the highs, the lows, and the laugh-out-loud moments—that defined my last year in radio.Support the Show:https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/PRULKVNHUMQVAAbout Opie Unfiltered:Hosted by Gregg "Opie" Hughes—co-creator of the legendary Opie and Anthony show—Opie Unfiltered brings raw, unscripted commentary, classic radio lore, and unfiltered comedy featuring Ron the Waiter and regular guests.For fans of classic New York talk radio, unedited comedy, satellite broadcast history, and the original Opie and Anthony era.
