Opie's Insane Shaman Story
Opie finally tells the full bat-shit story of the “healing” shaman his wife brought home after he got fired — tribal drums, Reiki, wooden jewelry, and a mystery Peruvian powder blown up both nostrils that lit his entire body on fire and had him vomiting like The Exorcist. Carl Ruiz, Vic Henley, and Sherrod Small lose their minds laughing while roasting the hell out of him. Raw, unfiltered comedy gold from the first post-Sirius reunion of the whole crew — you’ll never look at yoga bros the same way again.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/opie-carl--6679362/support.

Church of Opie & Tax-Free Sneakers
Opie finally lets Vic Henley near his building (but not inside — baby steps!). What follows is a classic NYC ramble through Central Park: insurance scams, family churches that dodge sales tax, topless 70-year-old sunbathers, dead-fish conspiracy theories, and a dive-bar soccer fan getting 86’d by an 80-year-old bartender named Poncho. They pick up Carl from a smoky bar fight, dodge the Dakota ghosts, and cliffhanger into Gebhards with Sherrod and Nick Salera for Larson Lager and Al Capone bourbon. Just another day in the Opie & Carl universe — no castles, just castle-like buildings and a whole lotta bullshit.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/opie-carl--6679362/support.
