Angry Rich Vos & Redneck Chuck Roasts His Lesbian Daughter (Ep 6)
Judy Gold and Kevin Brennan in studio, an absolutely furious Rich Vos on the phone, and North Carolina’s favorite redneck Chuck dropping in for maximum chaos.Rich Vos is pissed — he helped Opie on the big Anthony Cumia reunion show yesterday and feels completely disrespected when his name barely comes up. Cue 15 straight minutes of Vos unloading on hold times, golf courses, and Opie’s “double agent” co-hosts. Meanwhile, everyone piles on Paul Mercurio for hijacking the Anthony call with his own drama. Judy Gold and Kevin Brennan keep the room cracking up with filthy strap-on stories, dirty talk lessons, Les Zeppelin (the lesbian Led Zeppelin cover band), and a deep dive into mikvahs. Opie tries (and fails) to play peacemaker while the Jewish holiday schedule drama with Lenny Marcus heats up. Then Chuck from North Carolina joins and steals the show — holding nothing back on gays in Asheville, his daughter’s lesbian phase (complete with “packing” and scratching fake nuts), why people should keep it in the bedroom, and classic redneck wisdom. Even Judy and Kevin can’t believe what they’re hearing. Non-stop roasting, zero filter, and pure old-school radio chaos. This one’s a banger.Timestamped Highlights:00:00 – Vos rage beginsPaul Mercurio shade & Anthony call recapRosh Hashanah/Yom Kippur beef with LennyLes Zeppelin + strap-on talkChuck goes nuclear on his daughter & “the gays”Drop a like if Vos was justified or if Chuck won the episode!
