Summary

Chris Distefano and Aaron Paul of Breaking Bad 3/24

The final year of my radio journey holds a special place in my heart, made even more poignant by the loss of my cherished friends, Carl Ruiz and Vic Henley. Reflecting on that time, I rediscovered the pure passion and exhilaration that drew me to radio in the first place. Amidst the chaos and challenges, we found endless moments of hilarity and camaraderie. Alongside Carl, Vic, and Sherrod Small, we shared unforgettable experiences both on and off the airwaves, our tight-knit bond shining through every episode. That year also marked Carl Ruiz's meteoric rise to stardom, inspiring me to launch the Opie Radio podcast with him. I'm immensely grateful to Erock, Clubsoda Kenny, Paul, and Louis for joining us on this wild ride. Get ready to dive into the rollercoaster of emotions—the highs, the lows, and the laugh-out-loud moments—that defined my last year in radio.

But I'm just, you know, I really had two bands went through my head who I, if you would have asked me, guess who it was. And I'm just being being 100% honest with you and my guesses would have been that was either corn or puddle of mud you know what Travis those aren't bad guesses corn's not a bad guess because uh considering you know you don't really know rock music I I will accept those too okay even a puddle of mud a little bit yeah I would have just thought one of those two even though the puddle of mud guys little bit.
