​Well, well, well, we are BACK. 500 feet above the pavement in NYC after a detox way out east on Long Island. It is F U Friday and we are joined by the legendary Ron the Waiter and Comedian Tony P (calling in from the lawless state of Florida).​We thought we’d heard it all, but Opie is officially floored by the absolute insanity of RFK Jr.’s animal obsession. Forget the bear cub; we dive deep into the newly resurfaced story of how the now-HHS Secretary (in 2026) chainsawed a dead whale's head off, bungee-corded it to his minivan, and drove his kids 5 hours with "whale juice" spraying into the windows. We cover the full RFK Animal Greatest Hits, including the roadkill raccoon penis surgery and the Central Park bear cub prank.​Plus: Ron the Waiter makes the bold claim that mermaids are absolutely real, but can’t provide any proof. Opie challenges him to "Just Prove It!" and the debate explodes. Tony P brings the heat from Florida, riding hard for the MAGA movement and Donald Trump, while Opie is venting about insane gas prices that are crushing everyone.​ Keywords: Opie Radio, F U Friday, Ron the Waiter, Tony P, RFK Jr., RFK whale story, RFK chainsaw, RFK raccoon, RFK bear cub Central Park, Donald Trump, MAGA, gas prices, mermaids are real, NYC comedy podcast.

​Opie is out east on Long Island overlooking the ocean for a high-energy session with comedian Ron the Waiter and Chris (Fish Guy Photos).​We kick things off with the rare "Corpse Flower" bloom—why does nature produce something that smells like a rotting carcass, and why are people lining up to sniff it? Then, the Great Pool Debate: Ron has no fear of public pool water, while Opie remains rightfully disgusted by the "human soup."​Things take a turn into the environment as Ron tackles global warming, much to Opie’s chagrin. Chris (Fish Guy Photos) joins to break down the reality of the ocean: why balloons are a death sentence for sea creatures, the madness of banning straws while balloons fly free, and the prehistoric weirdness of horseshoe crabs.​Plus: Ron’s unwavering belief in Bigfoot, aliens in the deep sea, and the scientific fact that lobsters communicate by peeing out of their eyeballs.​ Keywords: Marine Biology, Comedy Podcast, Long Island, Seal Release, Environmentalism, Bigfoot, Nature, Ocean Conservation, Ron the Waiter, Fish Guy Photos.
