Towards the end of O&A, it was clear to any listener that Opie hated certain bits like Uncle Paul. I remember us pests thinking that it was because Opie had just become a father and had a change of heart on that kind of yumah.
But now we know that Opie knew that Jim and Ant were actual creepy pervs and he had to sit there and was expected to act like those "jokes" were funny when he knew the intent behind them.
Opie worked with two people who also put the show in jeopardy. Ant with his race rants could have gotten the entire show canceled (meaning Opie and Jimmy are also out of work). And Jimmy, not being able to take some DL Hughley as a guest when Jimmy ignored his email...
It's not a tough one man. Opie, for all his flaws, is an absolute saint for having to deal with those lowlife degenerates for over a decade.
