Join Opie for a wild and hilarious episode of the Opie Radio podcast, live from Gebhards in NYC! When co-host Matt bails last minute due to an epic "liquid war," Opie calls in the cavalry—comedians Ron the Waiter and Tony P—to keep the laughs flowing. The trio dives into raucous banter about everything from Ron's questionable audition for a Benjamin Franklin role to Tony P's flooded basement and surprising fear of swimming. Things take a soulful turn when musical guest Michael G. Potter, a Strawberry Fields regular, delivers stellar performances of Beatles classics "Dig a Pony" and "Yesterday," joined unexpectedly by local singer Junior for a magical duet. Potter also shares his original song "Truth" and a heartfelt Neil Young cover, "Tell Me Why." Expect crude tales of lost virginities, bizarre childhood snacks like "sugar eggs," and heated debates over Rolling Stone’s top songs of the 21st century. It’s a chaotic, laugh-filled, and heartfelt snapshot of NYC’s gritty comedy scene!
