Ep 7 - Surprise! Good Morning, Lamb Chop!
It's all Opie and The Cuban! Part road trip, part sitcom, and 100% improv! Opie decides to surprise Carl at Newark Airport. Then it all spirals out of control... as our host has no idea where he had parked his car. In frustration, Carl takes a smoke break. They have a hard time leaving the airport because Opie has a hard time understanding how EZ Pass works. They continue on as Opie records and operates an SUV going about 45 MPH. They talk life, clouds, Vegas, eat at a diner, and even watch vultures... or what they call "Turkey Buzzards" on the north east of the US. Opie even shows signs that he has a lot in common with Rain Man... as he picks through his breakfast. Come along for the ride... from the airport to Carl's Creepy Cabin!

Ep 4 - Guilty By Association
Opie strolls into NYC’s Gebhard's Beer Culture with his faulty podcast gear. While setting up, his guests arrive... one by one... for a free-flowing raw conversation. They talk beer, the early years, drink beer, tell a story or two about fellow comedians, drink more beer, have exchanges about first world problems like getting their kids into the best schools of NYC, the “N” word, baseball, celebs, racist wrestling names, and the boys even rate a few girls in the bar. All this... with a few surprises along the way. So grab a beer or a stiff drink (if you’re not driving), and join the boys for some real talk at Gebhards!

Ep 2 - What you burp is the truth with Carl Ruiz - IPAs
Because Opie wanted to give you something to hold you over before we learn why Carl's living in a creepy cabin in the deep woods of NJ... here's an informative quickie to get you through your day. Carl invites Ben Perry (beer expert) to talk about IPA's... and hopefully convince him that there really is something special to that style of bitter brew. This is only the beginning of what Opie Radio intends to bring you here at The Westwood One Podcast Network. Ben Perry is a market manager at Lagunitas Brewing Company. He's spent 22 years in the beer industry, and worked his way up from night loader to sales rep. He's Cicerone trained (beer nerd certificate), specializing in draft beer installation. He also started a podcast 2.5 years ago with a good friend, Brad, called "Sports Meats Beer". https://twitter.com/sportsmeatsbeer https://twitter.com/carlruiz
