Summary

Opie, Chris Distefano, Vic Henley & Sherrod Small go full chaos mode on this Friday episode! It kicks off with a Memphis Tennessee sing-along, then dives into Carl’s insane road trip (complete with Cheetos-covered chicken and Froot Loops milkshakes). Chris opens up about his pilot getting crushed in focus groups (“he doesn’t have a sitcom head”), spilling wild Hollywood tea on Les Moonves, Julie Chen’s eye surgery, and why networks are scared to take risks. Then things get completely unhinged when a smoking hot blue-haired DJ Sunshine appears at the window eating ice cream — and Opie & the crew immediately start flirting, grilling her, and trying to lock it down. Plus: Tim Allen’s show getting axed for being too conservative, Obama calling Trump a bullshitter, North Korea missile talk, Non-stop laughs, zero filter, and one of the most random studio interactions we’ve ever had. You do NOT want to miss this one. 5/17

Nice tune. I thought it was Johnny Cash and you guys said that was a good song. You were just trying to relate to us. Nice tune.

0:55.1

I thought it was Johnny Cash, and you guys said that was a decent enough guess. That's not a bad guess because Johnny Cash certainly did a version of that. Yeah, right. Who else did a version of that? What the hell, brother? There you go. There he is. Lonnie Mack and Johnny Rivers. And Johnny Rivers. Lonnie Max was an instrumental version.

And he just revved it up a little bit, did an instrumental version. About a year later, after Chuck had the hit, then Lonnie Mac has a hit with it as an instrumental. Another year goes by, and Johnny Rivers has a hit with it. Which is a good song. It kept going higher and higher on the charts. Every time he came out with a new version, that's crazy.
