Summary
In this hilarious episode, Opie sits down with the filmmakers behind the explosive Showtime documentary Disgraced, unpacking the shocking 2003 Baylor basketball murder, scandalous cover-ups, and NCAA violations that shook college sports to its core. Joined in-studio by the irreplaceable, horribly missed Carl Ruiz (the culinary king who always brought the heat) and sharp-tongued comedian Sherrod Small, the conversation spirals from serious revelations into pure, unfiltered comedy gold. Expect savage roasts, side-splitting tangents, and that signature crew chemistry — all while Carl crushes it with his larger-than-life energy. It's raw, it's funny, and it's packed with the kind of laughter that made this final year unforgettable. If you love true-crime deep dives mixed with gut-busting banter from radio legends and comedy pros, this episode is a must-listen. Hit play and experience why fans still cherish these moments — and why we miss Carl every damn day. Perfect for new listeners looking to jump into Opie Radio's irreverent world!
