Sam actually wants to talk about pop music, pro wrestling, etc, eveyday. I thought him and Jim had a good chemistry going at first. Sam though genuinely would like to talk about Kanye West, he would genuinely like to talk about whoever is the newest pop star. Sam has the taste of a child.

Yeah heaven forbid we update the references. Please let's hear some more about Ozzy and 1970s cinema. It's how you end up with On Golden Pond jokes at a roast.

I actually always liked Sam's occasional input. I'm 31, I think him and I are about the same age. He goes a little farther into modern pop-culture then I do, but he and Travis were always a breath of fresh air into conversations. Many of the topics over the years were cringe-worthy because it was a group of late 40's/early 50's men trying to seem hip/relevant talking about pop-culture. My uncle Joe lives around the corner, I could stop by and have a beer in his garage and listen to him talk about Lady Gaga, it would be just as interesting.

Sam's hairline is at least 60 years old, but his taste in food/entertainment/music is that of a tween.
2 McGowan9 2016-08-31
Tween is generous. My son is 15 months old and has a more varied diet than Sam.

Sam and your son are both beholden to a pair of tits.
1 carribbeanjimmy 2016-08-31
Sam is a cro magnon man. Not in any physically useful way, just in appearance, physically he's a disaster. He wouldn't know what a crescent wrench is, or how to drive a nail, we all agree he's a pile of shit. I stopped watching wrestling when I was 12, but to each their own. Most of the pop shit he talks about is nonsense. He has a "Morning mashup" mentality with a hint of sarcasm I guess. Compared to Opie who mocks morning radio hosts for years, and if he was replaced by anyone of them it would instantly be a better show. Terry Clifford with Jim Norton, instantly nationally syndicated.

Because his brain is broken and didn't produce the right hormones for him to grow properly, so he had weekly HGH injections growing up. He talked about it on the show before. He's a synthetic adult. 50 years ago, he'd be something more closely resembling a progeria kid instead some prehistoric Shawn Michaels/Sideshow Bob hybrid.
1 boofk 2016-08-31
I'm the same age and kinda like hearing about the newer pop culture shit on the show cause I don't follow it like I did when I was younger. The thing that annoys me about Sam though is he genuinely likes kanye and will defend him when Jim or someone else shits on him.
2 breadmoccasin 2016-08-31
I agree. Goodfellas is boring and The Godfather is yucky. Up next it's Nicktoons and Nuggies.

He shows the same enthusiasm to pop music as he does to the wrestling. He only backs up from it because Opie, Anthony, and Jim would display disgust at him. For years they have talked about how he is a grown man who only eats chicken tenders, plays with dolls, and likes pop music. He can't take over for O&A. He can still have a career with kids radio.
4 shaggyanlngs 2016-08-31
Don't you think part of the problem is that he's really replacing O&A when he should just be replacing Opie? The company should have already replaced Ant's role. The show always had two regular comedic voices. I think they should add another comedian.

Can someone explain what populist has to do with cereal? Corn pops?
1 YourOldPalHoward 2016-08-31
Can someone explain why someone who posts on /r/zizek is also an /r/OpieAndAnthony regular? This sheer diversity of this terrible community never fails to surprise me.

What do you want Sam Roberts doing fucking Dice impressions and talking about his childhood in California??
0 PassProtect15 2016-08-31
YES
And would it kill it him to talk about how lazy and violent black people are?
9 satsamsit 2016-08-31
Joseph Cumia also has the taste of children.
1 Unc_PaulHarrgis1-5YO 2016-08-31
He has a taste for children, silly.
8 panjshirlion 2016-08-31
He and Jim do have good chemistry. Sam's bullshit taste doesn't change that.
7 opi3dope 2016-08-31
He can take a joke and give a joke. Thats all I want in a host.
4 schmuckOnWheels 2016-08-31
True but Jim will shit on Sam for all of these things and it will be entertaining to listen to. If it were Opie, Jim wouldn't dare because of the Greggshells factor.

It's not opies topics that ruin the show. It's his lack of ability to talk about that stuff that ruins anything fun. And the gregshells.
2 rahtin 2016-08-31
That's what people miss the most. There are lots of interesting podcasts where they talk about nonsense with enough enthusiasm and detail to make you keep listening. For fuck's sake, Rogan does entire episodes about playing with a bow and arrow and millions still listen.

Where you at with the Sheamusss?

2 whatisthishere 2016-08-31
Him "steering the ship" would be detestable. His likes are what is wrong with our culture. I don't care about him being a little kid with the pro wrestling, but he actually likes the bullshit pop music coming out, and wants to talk about it for hours. He cannot be in charge of the conversation.
7 late_50s_why 2016-08-31
Is there anything worse than the shit Jim want to talk about tho,70s tv show reference, awful old movies, apology clock, the hacky tranny garbage etc

Tweet at them. Fair chance that Jim reads your tweet and decides he wants to take the lead on thursday's show.

Sam is basically like Opie, except he is decent at his job and suffers from arrested development rather than autism.

I've always been a Sam fan. Loved special delivery. And I enjoyed hearing him talk rasslin even though I no longer watched.
All these years later and I'm back into it. And it's weird Sam has turned himself into the Ariel helwani of rasslin. Every thought he has about it is almost always wrong.
Stone cold fucking Steve Austin interviewed him at the broken skull ranch for chrissakes. And he was respectful to the little twerp! Thankfully he basically laughed in his face when Sam said bray Wyatt is talking people into the building.
Sam's a dork who is essentially always wrong but he rules even still.
1 KaOsPest 2016-08-31
Sam is trying to appeal to children man he wants to be the next celebrity news reporter yo
1 RacistPigeon 2016-08-31
Fuck Sam. He should have the taste of the Smith children, pure lake water. Bitchy little faggot.

Kanye West has been a hugely influential artist for almost 20 years now.

Kanyes amazing. What queer wouldn't listen to Kanye.

Probably people who don't like rap and hip hop.
1 Lilcumia 2016-08-31
Well yeah. All art is subjective. OP's point was about Kanye, pop stars and Sams tastes. You can not like goodfellas if you don't like gangster films.

I get downvoted for shitting on Sam and Jim...
Be careful, or the faggots who donated to Jims cartoon, or really love wrestling will go into your history and downvote every post you made in 2 days.
2 Anarox 2016-08-31
We were on cytube listening live and it stunk, really shitty
1 late_50s_why 2016-08-31
Just wait for the new Jim character, it will have a annoying wacky voice and talk about inprops stuff
2 Folken-braggart 2016-08-31
OK, done.
I didn't donate to Jim's cartoon and I've never watched wrestling once in my life.
And I'm not a ... well, anyway, no Chip cartoons or WWE for me.
