Jim Sam and the Morning Jam had so much potential today.

Like that maywether discussion at the beginning. Two interesting people just discussing it, Chip cutting in and Sam totally feeding it. It was great. No awful third voice ruining the fun.

Unfortunately they had two of the most boring guests ever and that diminished it a lot. Hopefully another opie relative dies tomorrow.

Hopefully another opie relative dies tomorrow.

LOL

Oh come on guys! As a member of a family myself, I can't get on board with this statement. Jeez.

NERD ALERT!

You pin em down, I'll get his pants!

Who gets to suck it first?

hi opie!

ME: I didn't even like her, but I took off work so I could go to Central Park and make a video of a hippie blowing bubbles. Nice try with the hate tho!

nice try with the hope tho!

Sam is funnier than Opie, is more intelligent than Opie, understands pop culture, explains things well, knows how to set up a bit, knows when to talk and when to let others talk, can take a joke and doesn't beg for attention. He doesn't feel a compulsive need to let others know when he deserves credit for something.

Ant, Jim and Sam would be the perfect team.

I have thought this for so many years. Even the nopie shows are so unbelievable unless they had a hot girl in, then ant became a loud douche

There was a summer 2013 show where Jimmy, Sam, and Ant shoot the shit for hours. Lots of Ant San Jaun Capistrano talk and it was fucking great.

What about the beta-whale of the deep? Legend say of this "Sex Bagel"...

he'll always be there, mucking up the works

I enjoyed it until they brought the shitty guests on.

agreed. we get it, you're in a band.

I don't think Jim would care if Opie stayed home every day and Jimmy did the show with sam, but Opie kept getting paid. Someone should suggest that.

Opie should stay home and still get paid, while Jimmy does the show alone

god damn /u/Coosaw, thats a good idea. we should spread this around, but be sure to credit /u/Coosaw for coming up with it.

Hold on. Hold on. Jimmy should do the show by himself while Opie gets paid to stay home.

Jim and Sam did the show great despite not relying on comics and having boring-as-hell guests. Sam just seems like he knows how to do radio alot better than Opie does, which isnt saying much, but it's amazing how obvious it is. He even made Jim laugh a few times, which I've NEVER heard Opie do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85j_JZ0p87E#t=11m31s

Eh, even Opie gets some good laughs once in a while. The first time he used "a questionable" got a big laugh from Jim (though unfortunately that reinforced Opie running it into the ground).

Holy fuck that guy's gravelly voice is awful.

News of a "Nopie" show takes me right back to when I was a kid and woke up to find out school was cancelled. I just did the running man.

It was good. Not Bennington good, but good. More Nopie please.

The Hatebreed guy better not become a friend of the show regular. What a bore. And that other guy, what a boring guest.

Troy being like "Oh he's a big fan of the show" yeah, so am I, can I come on as a guest? I played college hockey which means there are/were probably more people who know who I am than know or like these bums (hyperbole).

I grew up on Judge's music, I totally geeked out for that. Though I understand why the general audience would have been pulling their hair out.

Holy shit! Just checked out the first break and can't believe how relaxed the energy is and how everything flows. I would start listening again if they 86ed the sloth and kept this format.

Did someone mention sloths? Here's a random fact!

There are two different families of sloths: Megalonychidae (two-toed) and Bradypodidae (three-toed).

Fucking love this bot

I liked the show but was only listening as background noise instead of the full attention I usually gave O&A. The music guests were dull but Jim made me laugh hard when he suggested the person respected a guy who beat his wife to death.

That Mike Judge guy should have starred in The Bridge. He was the worst! Other than that piece of detritus, the show was pretty good today. Listening to Sam, Jimmy, Trav, E-rock, Kenny is like O&A lite.

holy shit that boring straight edge hardcore faggot

Sam fan since day 1. He actually tries, and most of the time succeeds, at having chemistry with his cohost. Please note he's not "still working on his chemistry" with Jimmy despite having him on the show regularly for 15 years and as his full time cohost for almost one.

My dream show would be the Ron and Jim Norton show with Sam as 3rd mike (and Chris "Pepper Dicks" Stanley-Bennington, the gay centaur plug queen, chiming in).

pepper > sam

I hope another Lynsi relative dies tomorrow, her husband!

Context is everything.

Sam is not funny. Sam rides his simplistic sarcasm into the ground. Even when he is trying to appear sincere he comes across as being obsequious if not smarmy (duuuuuuuude)

Sam is just a less shitty version of Opie.

Was Sam the go to guy on the Mayweather Fight since he's the resident wigger who secretly wants to have a blow bang with every black rapper on the billboard charts? He has such a false sense of talent. He only thinks he's a great broadcaster because he's been sitting on Opie's lap for the last several years. that lite butch has never been put in his place because Opie wouldn't allow it. I remember one time Sam was obsessively bitching about Nick Cannons radio show for about the fourth day in a row and finally Ant said "I see the problem. You're hate Nick Cannon so much that you obsess over him, even though he's a mutli millionaire with way more going for him than you!"

I couldn't believe it but Sam was completely speechless. He couldn't crack a joke or defend himself or anything. It was a really weird moment, and Olie kept saying Anthony, Anthony, Sam can't take criticism. He's never really been criticised before, and he doesn't know how to handle it. He just sat there breathing weird and he was frozen. Ant really put him in his place which is funny because Sam was always allowed to think that just because he works for a talented show that's above hacky and sucky radio schtick, doesn't automatically mean that makes him above it too. Can you imagine the ass chewing Ant must have gotten after the show from Opie for exposing Sam on the air?

Get it right, cunt.

I was a big fan of Judge and hardcore growing up but having him as a guest is just a huge WGAS segment for 99% of the audience that hasn't bailed by now. The documentary also isn't interesting enough to anyone not familiar with Judge

Mike Judge could have been a great guest, but the guy isn't a public figure and his lack of interview experience was painfully obvious. A dude who grew up in the crazy years of New York punk and hardcore, when NY was an all around sketchier place and then later joins an outlaw motorcycle club. This dude has endless stories, but was reluctant to tell any of them. Vinnie Stigma, now there is a fucking guest! Wish they could get that crazy fuck on the show for a better representation of NYHC.

Jim and Opie have been doing radio together for what, 12 years? It's pretty hilarious that after 12 years they still are nowhere near having the on air chemistry that Jim & Sam have.

Jim and Sam are hilarious. The banter between each other is great and funny as hell.

Bringing in a guest like Jamey Shast......ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Oh don't forget Mike Jud....ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Cannot bring myself to listen anymore. Maybe because the app doesn't work.

Amazing how two people hear two completely different things but listen to the same show. I honestly thought today was unbearable, Jasta's first time on the show wasn't boring I just think the energy was sucked out of the room right from the jump this morning. I've been thinking of cancelling my sub because they've been quite boring lately and today show has almost pushed me into doing it. I dont know if it's for nostalgic reasons but I want to like the show, I'm one of the few on here that doesn't mind Opie, yeah he can kill a mood sometimes (you listen to anyone for 4 hours a day for 10+ years and try and I'm sure you'll be annoyed by some of their quirks) but he's not as bad as everyone makes him out to be.

Except Opie's quirks are that he is unintelligent, not funny and he's a pathological liar. Opie's negatives compound on each other and that's why the show was good when he spoke infrequently. In small doses it works.

Can you name an instance where opie was remotely good?

OP will surely deliver

heh OP... Opie...

Tss OPP how can I explain it...it's sorta like another way to call a cat a fawwwwkin cootah or sumthin.

Give me a break, Opie has had plenty of spectacular moments of the years. If you want to discount him smashing or ripping up shit in front of people, or the numbers he's put up, then Fudgie wudgie bars was probabky the height of Opie's comedic genius. If you can't admit that was a historic moment not only in radio but in American comedy as a whole history, you're a jaded god damn liar. Give the Opster his due diligence you son of a bitch.

So hack shock jock stuff is "spectacular" now?

Any and every dj can hang up a phone , rip a piece of paper, or throw something at a wall. Doesn't make them good, just not horrible.

And historic moment? 9/11 spawned more good jokes then any of Opie's edgy dullness.

I'm gonna downvote you because my opinion doesn't line up perfectly with yours. Because that's what reddit is now. Nice try on the discussion tho
