Carl shares what it's really like inside the ESPN campus, wild stories with Tito Puente, Peter Luger cheeseburgers with Bill Durney, and his new crush.

Opie tries to stroll back into the SiriusXM building like he never got fired, gets laughed at by security, and runs into an old coworker who’s still got a real job. From there it’s pure New York madness: Opie’s carrying shaman sage bundles and glitter “moon rocks” in a supermarket bag (Carl is dying), they harass a schizophrenic street guy, get wiped down by the Naked Cowboy himself, roast the topless painted-boob girls, expose the CD rappers scam, and debate why tourists only eat at Olive Garden and Carmines. Carl also recaps his sold-out Arizona “Lunch &amp; Learn” cooking gig, the 10 he pulled, and why he’s now getting hit on by older ladies at meet-and-greets. Carl gets chest pains, threatens to neck-punch Opie, and questions every life choice that led to this moment. Classic Opie &amp; Carl: zero plan, maximum degeneracy, and somehow still the funniest shit on the internet.

Opie tries to stroll back into the SiriusXM building like he never got fired, gets laughed at by security, and runs into an old coworker who’s still got a real job. From there it’s pure New York madness: Opie’s carrying shaman sage bundles and glitter “moon rocks” in a supermarket bag (Carl is dying), they harass a schizophrenic street guy, get wiped down by the Naked Cowboy himself, roast the topless painted-boob girls, expose the CD rappers scam, and debate why tourists only eat at Olive Garden and Carmines. Carl also recaps his sold-out Arizona “Lunch &amp; Learn” cooking gig, the 10 he pulled, and why he’s now getting hit on by older ladies at meet-and-greets. Carl gets chest pains, threatens to neck-punch Opie, and questions every life choice that led to this moment.

What follows is a classic NYC ramble through Central Park: insurance scams, family churches that dodge sales tax, topless 70-year-old sunbathers, dead-fish conspiracy theories, and a dive-bar soccer fan getting 86’d by an 80-year-old bartender named Poncho. They pick up Carl from a smoky bar fight, dodge the Dakota ghosts, and cliffhanger into Gebhards with Sherrod and Nick Salera for Larson Lager and Al Capone bourbon.

The duo dives into the heart of Southern barbecue culture with the legendary Ubon’s crew from Yazoo City, Mississippi. From hilarious mix-ups (Opie as Ellen DeGeneres?!) to tales of fried chicken that’ll “change your life,” and a side of roadkill rumors, this episode is packed with laughter, soulful BBQ stories, and Southern hospitality. Meet pit masters, hear about Terence’s life-altering fried chicken, and get a taste of the camaraderie that makes this festival a must. Plus, a few technical hiccups can’t stop the party—thank God for smartphones!

The duo dives into a hilarious take on history, from Civil War deserters to Revolutionary War band members dodging bullets. Things get surreal with a surprise FaceTime from Robert O’Neill, the Navy SEAL who took down Osama Bin Laden, sharing stories of his mission and dodging traffic tickets. Plus, Chris and Opie riff on everything from Steely Dan’s surprising Chevy Chase connection to a Publix cake mishap involving "summa cum laude."
