Summary

Bill Burr is under fire again for his comedy, and we’re breaking down why the "cancel" crowd can't let it go. We dive into the "R-word" debate, the Boston attitude, and why some words just won't die.
SNL and Ellen writer Erik Marino joins Opie and Ron the Waiter to take us behind the scenes of the legendary "Puppy Episode." Opie reveals his theory on why Ellen DeGeneres had the best job in America—getting paid to "dirty dance" with her audience.
Plus, we look at the deadly reality of botched "basement" cosmetic surgeries in the Bronx and Chinatown, the truth behind China’s "Green Hat" insult, and why Ron is convinced that dragons were actually real.
