Ep 20 - Yachtcast "To Dump or Not to Dump"
Opie & Carl are invited on a yacht for episode 20! Matt Farah (all around great guy and host of The Smoking Tire youtube channel/podcast), awaits our dynamic duo as they make their way to the dock. On the way, Opie practices his annoying "rich guy" voice, they stop for coffee (awkward moment spoiler alert!), talk about the Kennedy family, some fat guy, boating, things you can't see on "audio only" podcasts, song lyrics, and eventually climb aboard to meet Matt on his boat! This podcast was recorded, mixed, and mastered in full stereophonic sound.

Ep 11 - The Man Who Killed Osama Bin Laden
American hero and Navy SEAL, Robert O'Neill joins Opie for an intimate sitdown in NYC at Jack Demsey's. Robert shares surreal stories about his life, being part of the mission to hunt down Osama Bin Laden, and he even walks Opie through the step by step process from making that historic shot to getting back to safe surroundings with his team. It's suspensful, nail-biting, and somehow... Opie and Robert still manage to get a few laughs into the conversation. Actually, more than a few! Here's your chance to hear this American hero like you've never heard him before. Follow Rob here: https://twitter.com/mchooyah
