Opie reveals the insane reason he and Anthony turned down a massive book deal worth an estimated $1 million EACH.
The corporate higher-ups came down with a direct, brutal ultimatum: "If you write about Howard Stern in your book, you're fired."
In this clip from the podcast, Opie breaks down why it was completely impossible to tell the true story of radio history without mentioning Stern, and how their agent tried to push them to take the money anyway. It’s a classic, raw example of refusing to play the corporate game.
This is pure, unfiltered behind-the-scenes radio history you won't hear anywhere else.
