Summary

Join Indonesian superstar Pandji Pragiwaksono and Ron the Waiter on the Opie Radio podcast! Pandji, the pioneer of stand-up comedy in Indonesia, left behind fame and success to pursue the American Dream and test his comedic chops in the U.S. Often compared to Kevin Hart, Pandji’s unique journey defies labels, as Opie passionately explains. From hosting a bold, Jon Stewart-style show in Indonesia—where he was fired for his outspoken views—to sharing insights about his homeland, known for cat poop coffee, the corpse flower, and Komodo dragons, Pandji’s story is as captivating as it is inspiring. Dive into this fascinating conversation about comedy, culture, and chasing dreams! Opie also expresses his disdain for Ryan Seacrest and Opie and Ron gives the latest on the controversial Mayor's race in New York City!
