I think that is why Lit Crit also regularly rotates attention to other members of the Fat Pack, because just focusing on him is so thoroughly unpleasant that it honestly bogs you down. No wonder Nikki stays plastered.
Also, I like Opie more than Anthony, and Anthony more than fucking Norton.
It does get draining.
Honestly, it's why I was away from here for a couple days. Love this place, it really does make me laugh, but whereas tormenting the old Morning Zoo crew and Brother Joe felt like genuine, innocent fun, Pat is a void of negativity and constant stubborn ignorance. And at some point, it really does get overwhelming.
Joe adapted to protect himself, and as much as I hate giving him credit, I think he finally "got it". Still an idiot, and not a good guy, but I'll give it to him, there's no hate on my end.
Anthony fell further into the hole, and it's funny but in a sad way, like cringe humor.
Opie just is what he is. I think he's actually happy because he set himself up to get by for the rest of his life, no more bosses or anyone to dictate what he does. I feel he does what he does because he enjoys it - his show may suck, but I took the same path myself.
Jim and Sam are just there, and that might be the saddest existence of them all.
But Pat? He'll never change. He will do this for decades if he has to, and will go to the grave a bitter, unsuccessful, hate filled man. At least when Anthony does it, we'll have our jokes, but it won't be the same with Pat. It'll just be empty.
