Summary

Opie takes a walk through Times Square to interview, James Murray (Author of Awakened - A Novel and host from TV's Impractical Jokers). Along the way he meets a film-maker, smells a lot of weed, stops to watch a guy play buckets, and gives a rapper a chance to be heard by his listeners. He finally makes his way to Jack Dempsey's in NYC to meet up with Murr. They discuss manscaping, waxing, getting his big break, how his book came about, fruity cocktails, and NYC urban legends. We even get to meet one of our newest Westwood One Podcast Network producers, Mike.
