Thursday, July 19, 2007 at 11:25 AM

O&A Traveling VirusThe Opie and Anthony Traveling Virus Comedy Tour is opening its doors to the U.S. military in a special tribute to our troops. For all remaining tour dates, anyone with a valid military ID can get into the shows for free.

Tickets will be made available for pick-up prior to show day to anyone presenting a valid military ID in Detroit (August 4th), Bristow, VA (August 18), Holmdel, NJ (August 25) and Camden, NJ (September 15). The tickets will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis while supplies last.

"We have so much respect for our troops both here and all over the world. We just want to do our little part to show those men and women we are completely behind them," said Gregg 'Opie' Hughes.

"These guys are going to be busting their asses all summer, and we just want them to take a little break and have a bunch of laughs and enjoy a great comedy show for one night," said Anthony 'Anthony' Cumia.

Jim Norton, who will be one of the many comics featured on the tour, encouraged anyone attending a Traveling Virus Comedy show to buy his new book "Happy Endings: The Tales of a Meaty-Breasted Zilch" now available in stores.

More details are available on the Traveling Virus MySpace page.

Opie lands Trump Place condo for $3.35M

Trump PlaceWhile Opie and Anthony were suspended by XM back in May, the blonde counterpart of the dynamic duo was busy closing on a $3.35 million condo in the West Side of Manhattan.

According to city records, Gregg "Opie" Hughes closed on a Trump Place apartment on June 14th - the last day before the XM suspension was lifted. The 40th-floor apartment, located on Riverside Boulevard, measures in at 2,088 square feet - which in Manhattan is enormous.

Ironically, Opie's new building - which features a private spa center, club lounge and year-round lap pool - is of course one of Donald Trumps' properties. The same Donald who swore he would never appear on O&A again, and additionally calling O&A "two slobs," in an interview with the New York Post.
