Summary

Join Opie for a hilarious and heartfelt episode of the Opie Radio podcast, live from Long Island! Fresh off a day of boating and bonding with his brother and kids to honor his late father, Opie dives into a whirlwind of rants and riffs. From the absurd tragedy of Ron the Waiter’s shark encounter to a metal detector guy unearthing a 1969 college ring, Opie spares no one—not even Taylor Swift or the Kelsey brothers’ podcasting antics. He marvels at a real-life Grand Theft Auto chase in LA, questions the relevance of TV traffic reports in the Google Maps era, and crowns an unlikely hero at AOL for finally pulling the plug on dial-up. Expect sharp humor, nostalgic vibes, and Opie’s unfiltered take on life, loss, and the absurdities of 2025
