About this episode
Rudy Giuliani was literally given his Last Rites, but he clearly wasn’t ready to go. Opie and Ron the Waiter react to Rudy’s miraculous "bounce back" off the ventilator and the sheer New York defiance it takes to tell a priest "not today."
We also break down the 2026 Met Gala, where the "Costume Art" theme turned the red carpet into a high-fashion fever dream. From A-listers dressed as literal mannequins to the historic debut of Aaron Rose Philip—the first Black transgender model with quadriplegic cerebral palsy to attend—we look at the thin line between "art" and "absurdity."
Also on the show:
NBA Playoffs: The Knicks absolutely dismantle the 76ers by 39 points at the Garden. Plus, the strange reality of a Jayson Tatum-less Celtics team.
NHL Heat: A Bruins fan gives the ultimate "Boston Salute" after a loss to the Sabres.
NYC Grind: The ongoing battle over Congestion Pricing and why the city feels like one giant cash grab.
Cinco de Mayo: Why it’s officially "Amateur Hour" for every waiter in New York.
