They torch NYC’s mayoral circus — Zohran “Mom Donnie” Mamdani’s $30/hr minimum wage fantasy, Cuomo’s comeback creep, and Curtis Sliwa’s leaky-eyed cat rants. Ron breaks down why you always tip in cash (spoiler: credit cards rob you blind), while Opie relives stealing porn mags and sprinting for freedom. From hurricane-crushed Jamaica to air traffic controllers delivering Chipotle, plus THC Doritos, Jewish vampires, and Trump’s Epstein panic — it’s unhinged, unapologetic, and 100% Opie Radio.
