Informazioni su questo podcast
Headline: The Unfiltered Archives of the "Cuban Elvis" Carl Ruiz. Before the world lost the legendary Carl Ruiz, he and radio icon Opie took their legendary chemistry to the streets of New York City and beyond. This is the definitive collection of the Opie and Carl Podcast, featuring the raw, unscripted, and riotous conversations that built the #RuizArmy. From the infamous Creep Cabin and the cobblestones of Nantucket to the bars of the Upper West Side, join the Food Network star (known from Guy Fieri’s Grocery Games) and the broadcasting vet for a masterclass in riffing. No studios, no censors—just two friends, a microphone, and the "unstoppable energy" that defined an era of comedy. What you’ll hear:
• The Lost Radio Tapes: Opie unearths classic broadcasts and "Best and Last Year of Radio" sessions with Carl.
• Street-Level Comedy: Raw audio recorded on location, capturing the chaos of NYC and life at 100mph.
• Food & Friendship: Deep dives into culinary rants, "Always Be Closing" wisdom, and behind-the-scenes Food Network stories.
Whether you’re a die-hard fan of the Cuban Elvis or discovering the madness for the first time, this is Carl Ruiz at his loudest and most authentic. New episodes weekly. Subscribe to join the celebration of a life lived for the laugh.
Love ya, miss ya, Carl!
