Sam dedicated 11 years of his life to O&A and he got passed ovah because of a couple of outsider fat fucks. It's probably the funniest thing they've ever done.

Ron warned him about this.

Can you imagine if Sam's next show the glass breaks and we get a classic ronnie b run in. He cuts a mean promo on those fat dorks.

Ron hates the Stengels? As if I needed another reason to love Ronnie and hate the Stengels.

Well he plays up heat between em. I don't know what's a work or a shoot but either way it's in character to cut a hot promo on them stangle boys from new York City.

'In every work there is some shoot, and in every shoot some work.' - Ronnie B

fuckin carny

He's building up the big match where the Stengels take on the returning Sassy Boys.

Ronnie Flair calling out Vince and Ed Stengel

It's the way Wiki wanted it.

Well its not the way sammy branmuffins wants it!!!!

Is there anything else....you can tell me about the Stangels.

Exactly. And what they also wanted was for Anthony to be gone... His firing had NOTHING to do with his tweets.

His firing had everything to do with the tweets. If he didn't send those tweets they would have let him finish his contract and then they'd either not re-sign him or they'd offer him an embarrassingly low re-signing contract so he'd either not accept and leave on his own or he'd accept and they'd get him for cheap enough that it wouldn't matter that he's still there. The fact that he sent out those tweets is exactly why he was fired. Sure, they might have had a problem with his ranting and drinking and sick days, etc. for a while but he gave them grounds for a termination when he otherwise would have simply been not re-signed.

Thats what they WANT you to think.

Poor Sam, he doesn't deserve the shit that he gets here.

Agreed. Sam Roberts, Denny, Jim and E-Rock are all better at radio than Opie.

A good portion of the people they jocktobered over the years are better at radio than Opie.

I can't even listen to old jocktobers anymore because everything Opie says against the shows is literally a criticism on himself.

Jocktober is a big reason Sam can't get a terrestrial job and Opie put him up to it. Now Opie is cleaning house, if he could get away with replacing Jimmy, he would.

Give it another year.

No. Don't!

Once he made fun of a host acting surprised and doing this really annoying high pitched voice while he himself was unknowingly doing the sane thing. I hope he dies

this tbh fam smh

And he knows it. He always has. Remember when they did it back then, when he'd rant about their hackery all the while he was protected by the real talent surrounding him. It's like everyone here has been saying for a while. He attacks what he himself is with the most venom. It's his only defence because he is udderly useless.

Yes he does.

holy fuck, sam getting love now? what's happened to this sub?

Its always been back and forth with Sam.

yeah,i remember when dopey cunts thought Tits had his own show.Tits hasn't made a decision about anything since Ant left.

Good for Sam for announcing that on air. He's probably not happy with the move. Did he say why they said it was best for him to move to 9?

I'm assuming, in truth, so it will be easier for them to say, "See Sam Roberts Show has no listeners. We should just go ahead and get rid of it." Aaand one more large part of the old show will be gone. Now let's just hope them doing the same to Opie is in the works.

I wonder if Sam mentioned them by name to ramp up the hate machine against them even more. He may be a little faggot, but he's a cunning little faggot who knows how to stir up some shit.

he's a cunning little faggot

that's why i like him

I'm assuming, in truth, so it will be easier for them to say, "See Sam Roberts Show has no listeners."

Did they really need the extra help with that though?

Sam said he'd rather do the show at any time besides noon because he doesn't want to compete with Bennington.

Well, I didn't need another reason to hate these fat fucks, but I'll take it.

Holy shit I just heard him say it , came here to see if anybody else did.

The Stangels are management. I remember Opie asking them if something was OK to put over the air. Now it makes sense.

The corporate incompetence is staggering. Giving control of a channel to a couple of useless fat fucks whose sole accomplishment is writing shitty top ten lists, and who want to leave to do a TV show at the first opportunity they get.

To be fair, Sam's show was absolutely awful. It was basically TMZ Radio with Z listers.

Sammy did the job for the goddamn jabroni brothers. He's a company guy I guess.

"those two fat cocksuckers" is fucking killing me. It hit me just right. I have no idea why but I'm fucking crying right now. My abs hurt from laughing.

Do you have a photo of your abs? I'd like to see then on behalf of a friend.

Since we're on this sub I thought it went without saying that my abs are under a 20 lb gut.

Pic please

Do ya

They must have 19 years radio experience!

wow, that's bullshit. These assholes are in there less than a year and have already demoted Sam and turned OnJ into SNL lite. Opie mentioned that they had a year contract. Then what? They negotiate for more money or power? I have a feeling that they'll get whatever they want when the time comes. Sam should jump ship now. This is a real low blow.

I don't listen to the show but for about fifteen minutes when I drive home to walk the dog at lunchtime. I'm less likely to hear a second of it now. Great work, Stengels!

The Stengels were 100% the wrong people to bring in and give control of the show to. They're just not a good fit AT ALL. Even if Opie wants the show to go in a new direction, he already has a fan base expecting a show at least similar to the O&A show and Jimmy is there still trying his best to be the same old Jim. The Stengels are just not a good fit at all.

From their bad bits and really contributing nothing, to them both telling fake stories and being awful on the mic, to them guffawing at moderately funny Jim lines like they're at a Richard Pryor show...it's just not a good fit.

Yeah, mid 2000s. Even if it were when he was good, that doesn't qualify them to have anything to do with a radio show. It's clear they don't fit. If you listen to just the first hour of every show its painfully obvious. Too bad opie is blinded by being friends with them and them having been the head writers of letterman, which holds a certain cache.

What I hate is that Opie has for years insulted the 12 pm time slot. Yet they had Ron and Fez there, and now Bennington is there.

Of course, he has to say "Ron Bennington makes it work". Way to walk back your hate, ope.

12 pm is not a bad slot in radio. Rush Limbaugh had made millions in that slot. Who listens to radio at night other than truck drivers?

Sirius has on demand too. I never listen to any of the shows live. However, I wouldn't listen to SRSS if it was broadcast from the next cubicle over..

On demand is fine, but for shows take calls, they kind of need people listening live.

On today's show

What show? I don't listen to this bullshit, I come here for the rude remarks. Are you talking about Opie Radio or is he no longer on there? Are you talking about Sam's show?

Sam's show is fucking awful, so who cares.

Ron should be at the noon slot on the channel.

I can't remember last time I listened to O & J. Probably when Colin Quinn was on Stangel brothers stink as does Opie & Jimmy. I like Jimmy but even he can't make the show listenable. It's horrible.

I'm a faggoty hen... I'm a faggoty hen!!!!

Yes he does.

Agreed. Sam Roberts, Denny, Jim and E-Rock are all better at radio than Opie.

A good portion of the people they jocktobered over the years are better at radio than Opie.
