The Greggshells were so sharp that making fun of a hypothetical situation in which he was paralyzed caused some hurt feelings and bitterness. I can't recall a legitimate instance in which Opie was 'in the barrel'.
That's why I hate it when people point to "paralyzed Opie" as him getting ripped on. It would be so easy to laugh at a made up story, and he's still uncomfortable throughout that classic bit.
I hate to analyze throwaway comedy lines, but for all the hens bitching "WHY DIDN'T HE NAME OPIE AND SAY IT TO HIS FACE?," this is funnier! A little inside reference to the busty retard that all of us obsessives get followed by a "yuckghhh" is more entertaining than "you know who else tries to get catchphrases to happen? Opie. His catchphrases are dumb and will never catch on."
Initially, yes, this was the funnier way to do it. More of More than a year later, however, the act has worn thin. It's not about the jokes anymore, we wanna see Opie lose it.
I do too, but there's no upside for Jimmy. Opie has almost zero power over him (except potentially keeping one of Opie's core "comics" from doing his show). If Jimmy attacks he'll be (fairly or not) seen as petty/ungrateful for attacking the guy who gave him his start in radio and whose morning slot he took over.
What he's doing now is entertaining without going over that line.
I know what you're thinking, "Bready boy, you autistic shithead, he does that voice for a lot of things." And you'd be right.
But.
In the back of my head, I've always thought that rant was really about Opie. Listen to it again. How much of that applies to Opie? How "Jimmy" would it be to insult Opie directly to his face via proxy? How "Opie" would it be to be too stupid to figure that out?
Ugghh, this whole feud is playing out like they're a bunch of fucking women. Opie's not fucking Voldemort, just say his name. Subtle jabs are funny, blatant punches trying to be masqueraded as subtle jabs are just annoying and self serving. If you have something to say, stop habitually dancing around the issue, and just fucking come out with it. I understand that in the past Jim didn't want to rock the boat because this was his business, but they're not in business together anymore. There's nothing worse than listening to grown men being passive aggressive to one another.
Jim I know you occasionally lurk here. I find the show entertaining so I listen, handle your shit however you like, but goddamn you all sound like a bunch of whiny bitches.
It doesn't have to be a legal issue, they could have simply pulled Jim aside and asked him. Jim is more of a company man than Opie is. And he'd do it, to get along with management, seeing as he has a show to protect now. You know, not be THE show in the building that's constantly complaining and whining about EVERYTHING?
I just said this in another thread, but that's unlikely. Opie constantly shat on Ellis openly. Why would management add that to Jimmy's contract, that Opie didn't even know about?
Who said anything about his contract? The gag order from Howard wasn't in their contract, it was just said to them. It's like any job - most of the rules are probably dropped on them in a meeting with the bosses.
I hate Opie, but I don't think he's a big enough hypocrite or retard to place a gag order on his old co-host. Especially when his main beef with Howard was doing a gag order.
Even if you think Opie is that big of an idiot. Do you think Anthony or Jimmy would not elude to gag order against Jimmy? 9/10 times Opie does something stupid to Jimmy/Sam and they respond.
Sigh. I didn't say he put a gag order on him, it was an example of how rules have been implemented there, you blockhead. I shouldn't have to fucking explain this.
I'm just not going to respond to you anymore, you're ignorance is exhausting.
You're an idiot if you sincerely think there's any legal ramifications here that none of them would elude to. Type "sigh" on more replies, aspy faggot.
I could believe that it was unintentional and Jimmy was just describing what some generic terrible unfunny person would do, and it just so happens Opie is a terrible unfunny person.
Kinda fell off J&S a while ago, but hearing Sam call out Jim for saying dip twice in 5 minutes was pretty funny and, for lack of a better word, oldskool
This is the first time I've ever heard a minute of Jim and Sam. While it was fun to hear Jim trash Opie, I have no idea how any of you can listen to a whole show. Sam is fucking terrible.

I know you guys hate the indirect, passive aggressive jabs, but the hopeful boy in me thinks that this could be leading to something. He hasn't shit on Opie like this in a while, and suddenly it's two days in a row.
James is really vicious in this clip. That ruthless pussy can't even say 'Opie', just subtle jabs that nobody could possibly pick up unless they listened to hundreds of hours of O&A to understand the relationship. Queer

n/a SkepticSloth 2017-06-28
You have no idea if management told him to not name names, so they don't have to listen to 20 voicemails of Opie whining about it.
In any other line of business, Opie would have been laid off or made redundant years ago, just so they wouldn't have to listen to the whining.
n/a kelp_bouquet 2017-06-28
You're right, I don't. But unless Jim and Sam have a gag order regarding Opie specifically written into their contract, there's no legal repercussion.
n/a SkepticSloth 2017-06-28
It doesn't have to be a legal issue, they could have simply pulled Jim aside and asked him. Jim is more of a company man than Opie is.
