Opie Makes $12, Needs $150 To Do Next Show
Opie's show pulled in only $12 against a $150 goal to do a show the next day, while he bizarrely equates himself to Howard Stern.
The hosts checked 'the big board' and revealed Opie's show had earned a mere $12, with a stated goal of $150 needed to justify doing a show the next day. The math — needing another $138 — became a comedic moment, with hosts mocking Ron's inability to calculate the difference. Opie framed the low goal as a 'win-win,' saying that if the goal gets hit he makes money, and if it doesn't, 'I get a morning off.' The hosts found this self-comparison to Howard Stern absurd, noting that Stern makes 'exponentially more than that not working' while SiriusXM essentially just wants his name on the channel. 'Equating himself to Howard Stern is insane,' one host declared. The contrast between Stern receiving tens of thousands of dollars a day just to have his name associated with a channel and Opie scraping together $12 was highlighted as particularly delusional.
