Summary

Opie kicks off with a hilarious throwback clip of KISS legend Ace Frehley crashing Jim Norton's birthday on the old O&A show—complete with Jimmy's wild childhood Kiss beatdown fantasies and a botched "New York Groove" cover. He pays tribute to the late Ace as the "nicest guy in Kiss." Then, unfiltered rants on: Trump's pardon of George Santos (and why politics is a "dirty game"), the chaotic NYC mayor race with Zohran Mamdani poised to win amid Cuomo-Sliwa beef, epic No Kings Day protests (including old folks in wheelchairs hating Trump), and Diwali vibes—celebrating light over darkness, good over evil. Family movie night disasters: The 2015 Vacation reboot holds up better than the "pile of shit" 1983 original (RIP tit shots & stereotypes), Blended flops hard, and Adam Sandler gets roasted as overrated. Plus, shots at haters, Twitter trolls, and living in the light. Raw, real, and packed with O&A memories—don't miss this sunrise stream from Manhattan!
