I'm convinced that when Opie rebuts criticism with "This is *good* radio! The listeners are into this! We're relating to our audience!" this is actually his inner dialog.
Notes for a 30-year veteran of big market, multi-million dollar radio contracts: Please stop referring to good radio. Don't try to define it for everyone. Just do it. Jesus.
He is literally one of the luckiest people on the planet. He got rich and famous just by being a radio hack that does the basic radio work while comic geniuses riff. I'm sure the format wasn't even his idea. He just got lucky.

He's a sociopath so yes. Reality is what his damaged mind creates.

I agree, it is just him simply trying to justify his superior ship steering skills as he stands at the helm waist deep in water.
