NYC cab rides cost $28 for 2 miles now—blame MTA surcharges, congestion fees, rush hour BS, and traffic meter charges. Also, ghost trains in Queens, kids subway surfing for likes, and families paying $40-50 daily just for school drop-offs. Ron Berman shares his unemployment nightmare (new 10-hour work rules, frozen payments, impossible phone holds), plus insane stories like getting arrested for weed delivery (saved by DA change), dodging muggings "around the corner," hippo zoo jumper risking death for clicks, and real dolls looking hotter than real wives. Raw comedy, current events rants, and behind-the-scenes NYC chaos. Subscribe for unfiltered Opie Radio ep...
