Baba Booey on CB Radio means WHAT!? - Best Last Year of Radio w/ Mark Normand Carl Ruiz
Is that a road trip calling? As Carl Ruiz prepares for his epic trek to "Memphis in May"—aka the Superbowl of Swine—the studio turns into a masterclass on CB radio jargon, rock and roll myths, and the nerves behind a big comedy special.From debunking the legendary Lonnie Mack guitar solo on Roadhouse Blues to the truth about why celebrity chefs "shill" for copper pans, this episode is a deep dive into the weird, wild world of late-night radio and life on the road.Highlights from the Studio:The Lonnie Mack Rumor: Vic Henley settles the score on whether Robbie Robertson actually played that solo.CB Lingo 101: Why you should never call anyone a "good buddy" at a truck stop unless you're looking for a very specific type of companionship.Mark Normand’s Big Week: The internal panic of performing on Fallon while running on 11 melatonin and the "coat hanger" posture of his new special.The Chef Reality Check: Carl explains why Food Network stars end up selling knives at 3:00 AM just to keep the lights on. 5/16*THESE EPISODES ARE NOW THEY'RE OWN PODCAST CALLEDOpie: Final Mic Drop https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/opie-final-mic-drop--6950078Follow along in chronological order of my last year of radio*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/JANCGHFW7GJHAFor fans of classic New York talk radio, unedited comedy, satellite broadcast history, and the original Opie and Anthony era.
