Ep 1122: Chaos in the Basement | LIVE at Gebhards

Dive into the unfiltered madness of Opie Radio, LIVE from the basement of Gebhards Beer Culture on NYC’s Upper West Side! Opie, Matt, Ron, and the crew, hopped up on Zyrtec and Fat Orange Cat’s Stay at Home Dad beer, unleash a whirlwind of rants and riffs. They roast Beyoncé’s cowboy persona, sparking TikTok backlash and “racist” accusations, while debating her “stunt hiney” in a jeans ad. A Massachusetts woodpecker smashing car windows, a black bear storming a mall, and Gwyneth Paltrow’s carb binge fuel their absurd tangents. Ron’s chaotic “list” includes a Stallone-inspired arm wrestling tournament, his role as “Buddy the Waiter,” and a dubious Hawaiian orgasm mushroom. From the Pope’s sunburned corpse to Central Park’s redesign, a missing $167M jet, and a subdued Cinco de Mayo, no topic escapes their irreverent jabs. Matt’s kids, Otto and Millie, nearly derail the stream by chewing wires, while the chat begs for Ron’s own show. Sip through the pollen haze with Gebhards’ killer brews and handmade maple syrup sausage patties—pure chaos awaits!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
