Yeah, I loved Sam on O&A and his hour-long aftershow. I even loved his Friday show for awhile; in the months after the firing, I liked it quite a bit more than O&J. But I can't tell what he's going for now. He needs to instigate staff drama or exploit freaks, but he's really pushing for this good-natured superficial pop culture chat.
Sam is funny in stirring up shit, and making little shitty comments. When he got his own show I was hoping it was somehow gonna be something like that or.....just him instigating fights. like that episode of Seinfeld where Kramer and Newman setup a talk show in the apt. It's not that, though. He needs a partner or something.
Whoo Kid is funny for 10 minutes a year, then you get tired of a guy touting his "fame" for being in a famous person's posse and nonchalantly bragging about having sex every 4 seconds, all the while laughing like he just smoked weed for the first time.
I think it somehow works with Sam, Whoo Kid, and Nicole. Nicole is kind of the radio hole, but her idiocy is pointed out and mocked rather than kowtowed to, which makes for good radio.
I agree. They have so much anxiety about replacing Anthony, but they really need to actually just replace him at this point. O&A is over forever. They might as well find a permanent third person.
Sucking up to a DJ with a channel named after him. When Opie leaves, so does the Sam Roberts Show. Remember, SXM or anyone else in radio weren't begging for Sam to leave O&A. I'd also bet Sam would like to get off the graveyard shift for a real radio time slot, but no one else wants his garbage show.
Scorch is the father that dropped his son off on Opies doorstep. Opie fucked around when grandma Wease fed little Sammy his morning zoo animal crackers.
I had a free month about 6 months ago and once landed on Sam's show; he was talking about how he and Jess were dog sitting for someone and how he didn't think the dog liked him much. It was such riveting, edge of your seat radio i had to turn it off for fear of getting too excited and hurting myself.
Yeah dog! I do it for bonfire. Just Google sxm free trial and keep entering different emails every month. If you have a Gmail account you can just add periods in different spots for example.
The whole arrogance shtick is what infuriates me. Here you have a talentless hack...not funny...not interesting...awful voice. And then he spends 50% of his show telling you how he's god's gift to radio.
He is the dead weight on a channel that is sinking fast. His callers are also horrible, they just kiss his ass and agree with him even when his logic makes no sense. Fuck Sam in the mouth
Look sam is destined to really go nowhere in media. Bar his niche slot on Sirius and wrestling ...
But I do think he secretly holds as much contempt to opie as the rest of us. He just needs a few more testosterone injections to grow some balls and man up with opie
I just remember when he was on during the day he was constantly trying to push these manufactured, really inorganic running gags like "let the bees go extinct" or something like that.
If your taking the show serious and not seeing it as 3 hrs of mostly trolling, you might be missing the point. While he does discuss things like the shootings and politics, there's always a troll aspect to it, like Joe Biden Tuesday fuck night, and the Robert Kelly and DJ whookid trump coverage, incredible.
Sam Roberts best talent is managing retards. He has been desperately trying to find a new Bobo for his show since the very start. He tried putting over non-moron current interns, pakistani kids, giant rapping twins, countless random hillbillies and Virgil. He is best when subtly fucking with idiots in a way that they are not hurt and we get a laugh.
I cant defend Sam because I didn't hear the segment. I wouldn't be suprised if Sam went through talking points, but the idea of people just repeating talking points isn't anything new. Everyone on this sub has an opinion about ISIS, half of them couldn't find Syria on a map.

I agree with you that his Friday show actually wasn't that bad
1 rahtin 2015-12-09
Especially with Nicole and Whoooooo Kid.

I don't usually mind Nicole but Whoo Kid is fucking useless. I have never heard him say anything of value.

But he's the Nigga Spock AND the Nigga Spider-Man

This is pretty insightful, actually. I wonder if the suits did market research on this.
On the other hand, I kind of respect him for being who he is on the air, especially in light of all of the Opie fakery that's coming to the fore.
7 silks322 2015-12-09
I couldn't even figure out the demographic he is trying to appeal to.
1 onemancrimespree 2015-12-09
He learns it from watching WWE. Be as unentertaining as possible and cater to consumers who want nothing to do with your brand of nonsense.

14 cakehornnigga 2015-12-09
He should have been named unofficial 3rd mic on O+J. He works great with Jim, and we would have been spared listening to the Stangels.

1 baraksobamas 2015-12-09
But the problem with that is he can only be as good as the people he is fucking with. He doesn't have anyone interesting to exploit.

Really: how the fuck does a guy with a speech impediment, and a nasal whine on top of that, GET A FUCKING RADIO SHOW?!?!??

I think Sam's success is all you need to know about what a retarded industry radio is.

He's employed in radio. That's way more success than he ever should have had.

Sam should have went the corporate route at Sirius/XM instead. I bet he'd be good at finding talent and building shows.

Who is Sam?

While he does discuss things like the shootings and politics, there's always a troll aspect to it, like Joe Biden Tuesday fuck night, and the Robert Kelly and DJ whookid trump coverage, incredible.
