NYC Manhole Tragedy and Opie's Boston Trip

Opie returns from a weekend in Boston with a massive reality check on American history. Did you know Paul Revere's "midnight ride" actually involved 38 other people and remained a secret for nearly a century? Or that Sam Adams was a failing businessman who had nothing to do with brewing the beer that bears his name? We dive into Opie’s visits to the graves of Hancock and Adams, plus the hilarious "clown car" cab moment in Boston. Back in New York, Ron the Waiter reports on the raw madness of the city: another horse and carriage running wild in the streets and the unbelievable, tragic story of a woman who perished after stepping into a manhole. Plus: The LIRR strike is finally over, the Knicks prep for the Cavs, and we discuss why "Giants" are taking over the NBA.About Opie Unfiltered:Hosted by Gregg "Opie" Hughes—co-creator of the legendary Opie and Anthony show—Opie Unfiltered brings raw, unscripted commentary, classic radio lore, and unfiltered comedy featuring Ron the Waiter and regular guests.​Support the Show:https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/JANCGHFW7GJHA​For fans of classic New York talk radio, unedited comedy, satellite broadcast history, and the original Opie and Anthony era.
