Ron Begs Listeners For Second Phone While Opie Tells Him Not To Beg
Ron pleaded with listeners for Venmo donations to buy a second phone, prompting Opie to tell him he was being 'too beggy' — while Opie himself begged for a tooth fund.
Ron made an extended pitch for donations during the show, explaining that Opie frequently asks him to look things up or multitask during the broadcast, but he only has one phone. 'Do you know how many times Opie has said to me during the show, "Hey Ron, quickly look up and see what this is or check that." And I'm like, "I can't. I only have one phone,"' Ron explained, suggesting listeners Venmo him at Ronald-Berman-9 so he could get a second device. Opie repeatedly told Ron his approach was 'too beggy,' advising him: 'You got to make believe it's just a thing. You got to make believe that when money comes in while you're live streaming, you're not freaking out like, "OH MY GOD, I JUST MADE $10."' Ron openly admitted: 'I want it so bad. I want your money so bad.' Commentators noted the hypocrisy, pointing out that Opie himself was begging moments later: 'If you don't make 150, I won't be doing a show tomorrow. And please donate to my new tooth fund for my dentist.' One observer remarked: 'It's unbelievable. This guy can sit there and tell Ron not to beg for money.' They also noted that an Android tablet sufficient for Ron's needs could be purchased for around $70-75 at Walmart or Target, and suggested Ron could earn money through tips at his bar during sporting events.
