Carl's Fleetwood Mac Crush Text & Lady in Red Wedding Meltdown
Opie and Carl are stuck in the car on a chaotic road trip to ESPN for Carl’s big gig — with Gloria in lead car taking every back road known to man. Carl goes full cheeseball and sends his crush the Fleetwood Mac song 'Everywhere'… then sweats the reply. Carl tells the legendary story of his brother getting teary-eyed slow-dancing to 'Lady in Red,' almost ruining a double score at a wedding. Plus: white clam pizza debates that trigger Twitter warriors, one-hit wonder rabbit holes (Thompson Twins, Chris de Burgh, 99 Luftballons), hating on social media trolls, passing the Sandy Hook exit, Gloria’s mystery snacks. Pure unfiltered guy talk, nostalgia, roasts, and highway stupidity. You’re riding shotgun.<br /><br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/opie-carl--6679362/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/opie-carl--6679362/support</a>.
