Summary
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 CALLED Opie: Final Mic Drop https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/opie-final-mic-drop--6950078 Follow along in chronological order of my last year of radio*
