About this episode
After 4 days off, Opie and Ron the Waiter are back to tackle a world gone sideways. Donald Trump claims that viral photo of him looking like Jesus was actually him as a "Red Cross worker"—we aren't buying the excuse, but we’re definitely riffing on the absurdity. Plus, we look at the failed ceasefires, why politicians are too busy "hooking up" in D.C. to get anything done, and the strange beef with Pope Leo.
THE BIG STORY: Opie goes behind the scenes of the Opie & Anthony era to reveal the time a book project was killed by the suits. The ultimatum was simple: "If you write about Howard Stern, you will be fired." Hear the full story of how the company protected its biggest star at all costs.
Topics & Keywords: Opie and Anthony, Howard Stern, Radio Stories, Trump vs Pope, Pope Leo, Red Cross, NYC Comedy, Podcast Stories, Radio History, Ron the Waiter, Washington DC Politics
