Summary

*PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER PODCAST "Comedy Quick Hits with Opie". Here's the latest episode https://omny.fm/shows/comedy-quick-hits-with-opie/cqhsat  Blackberry Smoke Vic Henley Jim Florentine Chuck from North Carolina 12/27 I now cherish the last year of radio I did especially with the passing of my dear friends Carl Ruiz and Vic Henley.  I was able to come to the realization why I went into radio all those years ago.  It was for the fun and pure joy of it.  The last year was filled with ugliness, drama and a ton of laughter.  Me, Carl Ruiz, Vic Henley and Sherrod Small had the time of our lives on and off the radio show.  Our close friendships was on full display.  The last year also saw Carl Ruiz blossom into a superstar which led me to do the Opie Radio podcast with him.  A special thanks to Erock, Clubsoda Kenny, Paul and Louis for going on this ride with us.  Hope you enjoy the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of the last year of radio I did. #comedy #funny #comedian #standup
