VIDEO OF LIVESTREAM I did at Niagara Falls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7B-m7DCeRY walking the rim showing off the American and Canadian falls

Opie as he shares his latest adventures from his family vacation in Niagara Falls. From driving 8 straight hours in the pouring rain to scoring a room upgrade, Opie has plenty of stories to tell. He also delves into the Prince estate controversy and how it affected Sinead O'Connor, as well as the crazy stunt of a guy trying to ride the falls with a jet ski. Opie also pays tribute to the late Gordon Lightfoot and reveals an insane connection he had to John Belushi. Plus, he attempts to calculate how much change is at the bottom of Niagara Falls and shares a hilarious Don Imus story.

The livestream happens most days on my Facebook and YouTube https://www.facebook.com/opieradiofans
