Did anyone listen to the After Show today (9/17/13)? Man I want to like Sam but damn does he make it hard...

Dude needs some life experience or to smarten up. IDK, maybe he is fine at what he does because most people are stupid. But seriously, I feel like the matrix of my mind is too complex to be entertained by Sam. Basically, I'm more well read than him. First off it sucks that he constantly tries to talk about pop music because that is what is hot right now but whatever. Today on the after show he claimed to be breaking that Royals song from Alt-Rock jail. What a dummy. Sure many people may not have heard the song but it is literally the 3rd hottest song in the country this week (check the Billboard charts) and it was the 8th hottest song in the country last week. I've known about the song for months. It is just irritating to have to hear him keep on talking like he is a smart, L.A. Reid type who can tell what the next trends in music are when he is COMPLETELY FOLLOWING THE TRENDS. And I am just using yesterday's After Show as an example. It was literally the first after show I listened to in months and it made me remember why I usually skip that ish. I'm 25 and I feel like I'm more astute and lived more of a life than never drinking only eat fish sticks Sam. I like OnA/Jimmy cuz I feel like they can sometimes still surprise me with some insight or angle I had not thought of or at least have a high level of discourse. With Sam, I get none of that.

Okay, Rant over lol.

"I feel like the matrix of my mind is too complex to be entertained by Sam." Holy shit dude fucking get over yourself, you're not special, and even if you are smarter, who cares it's a fucking radio show. I also didn't realize intelligence is determined by knowledge of pop music, what the fuck are you even talking about.

But whatever, you make a good point. Honestly Sam might be smarter than he appears, he might dumb it down for the radio. Judging by the callers he got on that after show from 9/16, it seems people like his schtick. Maybe he will be popular with the sheeple of mainstream America but that is not me nor do i think it is really the majority of OnAs audience or at least not what OnA are about. They aren't nick cannon or elvis durant.

.... sheeple ....

*click* *dial tone*

I love how me using one word u find annoying or over used or cliche is enough for you to disregard my entire argument. It is almost like my argument is mad well thought out or at least an interesting/entertaining position to take and you are too dumb to come up with an equally entertaining response at least in the amount of time you have available to think up such a response so you resorted to taking the easiest way out and giving up on being clever at all. u dumb headed dick brain.

.... u ....

Sam can be banal as all hell. I threw this out there in the hopes he may read it since he admitted to checking the reddit. that was my ulterior motive. I feel bad for Sam how is he ever gonna be a talk radio legend when the "matrix of his mind" is so weak. I use that term cuz it is one George Carlin used. He stated that as he got older the matrix in his mind got more complex allowing him to make more connections. I feel as if Sam has fewer connections than he needs to be huge in talk radio. I think he realizes it too since he appears to be trying to become more of a ryan secrest/nick cannon type even if he won't admit it.

It isn't his lack of knowledge about pop music that makes him a poor broadcaster. It is the fact that he then chooses to talk about pop culture in an inane and asinine way again and again. He, I would argue, doesn't reach the level of complexity that even mid brow culture magazines like Complex and Billboard mag reach, so what does that say? Especially when one day he hopes to fill up more than 25-40 minutes a day of radio time.

You sound like a faggot.

I know, right.

Sam is smarter than you.Deal with it.

you should shave your neckbeard.

You accuse Sam of thinking he is smarter then he is and having no life experience while simultaneously coming across as someone who thinks they are smarter then they are and has no life experience. Oh the ironing...

Yea, I come across like I have no life experience. I'm not sure what life experience is, since we all live life. If we are going by age then I guess Sam has it on me by 5 years or so. If we are talking about altered states of consciousness, I think I win against ole Sam.

Altered state of consciousness? What pseudo scientific idea is that? Are you talking about the amount of books you've read or the amount of psychedelic drugs you've done? Because neither has seemed to do you much good.

Yet we are both hear commeting on this reddit lmao. All I'm saying is Sam is boring, he lives a boring life. Nothing he does outside of the show is interesting at all unless ur a fan of the WWE and while I appreciate the WWE for all it's absurd hilarity I don't make it a point to obsess over it cuz I don't have kids that are fans or anything. I'm just a dude trying to be a grown up and I don't have time to obsess over made up storylines involving men in underwear fake fighting each other.

Wow you sound hateable

I am hateable. Anyways, what I really meant is that you never hear Sam talking about any crazy stories about what his life was like unless it is related to something in the OnA show. I know he is young but the only interesting story he has ever told about his past is his circumcision when he was 19 and how his mom is a creeper and keeps all his hair. Dude is a nerd and a dork who has never done anything fun or ever struck it out on his own independently.

Yuckkkkkk. Your listening to the Joe Rogan Experience too much dude.

Sam is horrible by himself. But add a Roland or erock or back in the special delivery days he his great. He also adds a lot to the main O&A show

Sam is boring

Sam has all the edge of a marble.

But he is harmless... no one likes him. Just let him be...

Yea, I guess I should of done that. I kind of like being the shock jock of this board though. At least it got all u riled up.

Have you ever thought that he says he's "breaking new songs" as an obvious joke that is meant to be scoffed at...just like when OP talks about being a "child of the 80's"?

You sound like a hipster douche. (opie's twitter voice) "UUGGGHNGN! I HERD THAT SONG MONTHZZZ AGO!"

Has it also not occurred to you that Sammy obviously doesn't load up new indie songs into the mixer, they're already on file at Sirius XM, and probably showed up on Hits 1 and the Morning Mashup (nicole and her cro-magnan feet)?

" I'm 25 and I feel like I'm more astute and lived more of a life than never drinking only eat fish sticks Sam." Sure because dietary habits dictate life experience.

" I feel like the matrix of my mind is too complex to be entertained by Sam."

PSEUDO-INTELLECTUAL ALERT!!!!!!!!WAAH WAAH WAAH!

The matrix of your mind is too complex for sam, but not too complex for cake-stomping Opie, nigger-hating Ant, and sexual deviant Jimmy?

It was clearly not an obvious joke. They went on and on, he put the song on in the background and took many calls. Then argued with Erock over why he thought fm stations would play it, why it would be the song of the fall, and why he is like LA reid without the money. The only joke he made was saying that he should be the new snarky judge on American Idol. And even though he was joking u could hear the desperation in his voice, he would take that shitty gig in a second. Just for the money but oh boy would u see Sam give up all the trappings of his former bad boy talk radio life. Fucking sell out douche he would be. I don't blame him but it sucks he doesn't have the talent to just do a talk radio show of OnA's caliber instead of hoping he becomes some pop culture commenter for VH1, haha. U are just defending ur boy. I guess it's alright. You can demonize me. Say hello to the bad guy. But it is obvious Sam is not up to OnA's caliber. He really does need life experience. Dude is a mama's boy who loves WWE dolls and eats fishsticks and hasn't drank or even fucking toked up some weed or had any crazy adventures that didn't inolve the OnA show. He is a fan boy of OnA first, not a good talk radio guy. What kind of life is that. He isn't good at talking at the end of the day. He would suck replacing Opie, Ant, or Jimmy. That is the bottom line truth. He might be good at doing his stupid 30 minute daily show talking about some stupid pop culture or directing staff fights but that is it. HE SUCKS TALKING ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE.

You can ad hominen attack me all u want. But as billy burr would say, u just capitulated bitch.

I hope your next "life experience" is to get hit by a bus.

Even though I think some bankers are innocent bystanders of a crazy system put in place long before they were alive, I like ur username bro.

And obviously no one cares. But let me elaborate more on why I hate Sam. He acts like he knows hip hop when he knows NOTHING about hip hop. It is so infuriating to see him time and time again answer OnA's questions like he knows anything about hip hop. HE IS SO MUCH WORSE than the stereotypical white guy from the burbs who likes hip hop cuz it reminds him of a minstrel show. Dude gives all white hip hop fans such a bad name. Dude is just an idiot. When you hear Op/Ant/Jimmy talk about rock music, they know what the fuck they are talking about. When you hear Sam talking about pop music and even worse hip hop, you can usually bet he is making some asinine or snide comment that does not actually hold any water cuz he is too dumb or pretends to be too dumb to comment in an interesting, articulate, or argument baiting way.

Another reason I like OnA/Jimmy is cuz all three of them have lived crazy lives filled with awesome stories. I get little of that with Sam.

Yea, I guess I should of done that. I kind of like being the shock jock of this board though. At least it got all u riled up.
