I just realized that Sam is
129 2016-09-27 by Individually_Placed
more likable, a better interviewer and an overall better broadcaster than Opie, a man who spent 35 years dedicated his life to being a professional radio broadcaster.
Sam's age = 31
Opie's tenure as professional broadcaster = 35
Opie's been doing radio 4 years longer than Sam's been alive and he fucking stinks at it.

It's like being the prettiest Denny's waitress

That's an old Stanhope joke, isn't it?
11 xaway3 2016-09-27
You got it my man
6 WiretapStudios 2016-09-27
Fuck that's a hilarious line. It applies to so many things. Stanhope really is a drunk sage.
1 Individually_Placed 2016-09-27
It most certainly is a low bar
42 aprosbro 2016-09-27
Sam is only 31? Goddamn.
34 Jockel76 2016-09-27
These people don't age well.
34 aprosbro 2016-09-27
He looks like one of the chimps that Matthew Broderick couldn't save in Project X.
8 TankRizzo 2016-09-27
This reference came out when Sam was 2. lol.
2 fatal-exception 2016-09-27
I always thought he looked like the caveman dude from the Geiko commercials back in the day.
1 YoBGS 2016-09-27

Or from the TV show. Funny enough, Nick Kroll was one of those cavemen.
1 Audibledogfarts 2016-09-27
why is that funny?
1 YoBGS 2016-09-27
It's not. That's the bit.

33 actually, but yeah.

You try eating nothing but "fish" sticks and "chicken" nuggets for 30 years.
3 trunky 2016-09-27
I thought it had something to do with the testosterone treatments he received as a child.
1 4QM8 2016-09-27
He got HGH shots, not testosterone.
1 Boredghost77 2016-09-27
His emaciated caveman mulatto body and love of chicken tendies will really bring in the "i still live with my parents" audience
3 boofk 2016-09-27
Sam is a few years older than me and I'm 31.

I don't know how Sam navigated that situation without pissing off Opie, Ant, or Jim. Maybe that little prick shouldn't be underestimated.
14 Individually_Placed 2016-09-27
If It becomes the Sam & Jim show, there couldn't be a more perfect ending to his career.

The long con
1 LamarThePotato 2016-09-27
That navigation clearly ended today: "Keep your head on a swivel, because you never know.." - Opie
1 RamonFrunkis 2016-09-27
After all this, I think Sam is actually Varys in real life or maybe Little Finger and is orchestrating all this. What if SAM is the Master of Puppets?!
-4 RacistPigeon 2016-09-27
No. He got by being passive aggressive, and being a yes man little bitch. Besides, they needed a minority hire on the show.
11 NOTJOECUMIA 2016-09-27
Sams 33 you fuck.
11 Individually_Placed 2016-09-27
well, than I was fucking wrong about his age.
4 FaggotBannedKeith 2016-09-27
You were being kind, he looks like he's around 48.
1 NOTJOECUMIA 2016-09-27
That is a far assessment. He has the hair line of Bald Opie.
2 Navsies 2016-09-27
Wait notjoecumia is Than?
1 KorgDTR2000 2016-09-27
Jesus age. Perfect timing for all this.

That does not make him bad, but he is still a nigger.

6 866-Ron-0-Fez 2016-09-27
You could say the same about me talking to my self out loud with a mouthful of rocks. Point is Gregg is an exceptionally poor broadcaster.
4 majestik6 2016-09-27
If I was Gregg, I would've signed a five year contract, then surrounded myself with comics that could compensate for my lack of talent. There are tons of comedians in NYC who'd work for nothing, just to plug their gigs on XM
3 Navsies 2016-09-27
Yes but that plan would require foresight and an accurate assessment of your own worth, neither of which Opie has.
-3 late_50s_why 2016-09-27
thats why hes drowning in millions of dollars, fucking retard that guy
3 RacistPigeon 2016-09-27
He got those millions because of Ant. And that's not really the guage of if someone is a piece of shit. Hillary has millions, and I wouldn't piss on her to put her out if she went up in a grease fire.
1 rottenseed 2016-09-27
I mean if it were a grease fire, pissing on it would make it worse...are you claiming to like Hillary Clinton? I'm confused...
2 RacistPigeon 2016-09-27
No, I wouldn't put her out, appear to be putting her out, or end her misery any faster. To clear up your confusion, I detest that twat.
-1 late_50s_why 2016-09-27
we are talking about survival skill here, opie survived in the business for 20 years, made millions and created an empire where all these "talented" folks has to follow his every move, he clearly is doing something right
2 bonniesretardsister 2016-09-27
*was doing something right.
1 late_50s_why 2016-09-27
thoughts and prayers if hes off air this sub will be a lot less fun
1 balancedchaos 2016-09-27
For all we have to say...this is also undeniable.
1 Dennyislife 2016-09-27
You sure? Seems he can only get vic henley
1 SkepticSloth 2016-09-27
Those days ended with the merger. Comics flocked to the show then, because XM didnt give a fuck, their guests could flog their shows as much as they wanted to. When Sirius took over, they were limited to plugging once per appearance, and the money sucked. I know Bobby and Patrice made comments on how little it was - and why Patrice cohosted, because it paid more.
And, don't forget - it's not O&A anymore. Opie and Jim barely made it through it's short life. Do you really think comics will get up at 4am for a show nobody listened to?
3 pfg-sciple 2016-09-27
Even BEFORE the FIRING the show ended up as another SHOW for quick plugs, like COSMO RADIO or MASHUP. Stars would do HOWARD and then walk around the BUILDING joining lesser shows for 2 minutes of PLUGGING some project before being whisked to next SMALL AUDIENCE program.
"O&A" was able to get funny GUESTS when comedians were SMALL and looking for any airtime. Every one JIMMY came up with OUTGREW the show!!! The only PEOPLE left as regular guests were BOB LEVY (didya hear his GREAT running gag about DI being a MAN?!), COLIN KANE, and VIC HENLEY!!
5 EastSideDan 2016-09-27
Sam can't speak without sounding likes he's trying to keep from laughing at how funny he thinks he is.
He's unlistenable. Even when he's not talking about the Kardashians, pop charts and WWE
11 Individually_Placed 2016-09-27
To each their own, friend. But at least he doesn't stop the flow of conversation with trivial points and doesn't keep a leash on Jim
-6 dakkar1 2016-09-27
sam is radio cancer death, he eats like a faggot and only faggotty faggots like, watch or enragingly talk about wrastlin' will never listen to that faggot.
2 pfg-sciple 2016-09-27
Because he is OPIE. SAM's main outlet for HUMOR is bashing someone else. Not people who DESERVE it. Just ANYONE who he SEES as weaker. EROCK, who beat SAM in the fitness challenge, isn't FUNNY, but he knows his PLACE. SAM doesn't. He sees HIMSELF as a being the same LEVEL as the COMEDIANS and STARS. Like he EARNED a place by MOCKING people like TODD and TERRY CLIFFORD (who is more FUN than SAM).
1 LamarThePotato 2016-09-27
SPEAK more like THAT!
0 late_50s_why 2016-09-27
this is sams time to shine, by hitching his wagon to the tranny hooker guy, he has been Howard Stern JR this last 10 years, but had to hide his talent so Darth Opie dont welcome him to suplex city!!1
5 SkepticSloth 2016-09-27
Good for Sam.
I still can't stand the sound of his fucking voice.
But you knew that little weasel would stab Greg in the back for sending him to the late shift.
But I'm still not going to listen to the little shit.
5 pfg-sciple 2016-09-27
I hate nearly EVERYTHING about OPIE too, but SAM isn't better than OPIE. SAM is OPIE.
They are BOTH liars who try to PUT down others so PEOPLE won't see how UNTALENTED and UNFUNNY they are. Uh,oh! Show is GOING well. Time to bring on a RAMBLING RETARD or DRUNKEN SOT! That's funny! Our LISTENERS would find this FUNNY!! Just LISTEN to the SCORCH stuff where SAM feels the need to EXAGGERATE his SCORCH stories a little more EACH time. He is OPIE. Keep JUICING up the story in a POOR ATTEMPT to seem FUNNY or INTERESTING!!!
Oh, SNAP!!! SAMOPIE made a JOKE!! How DO you KNOW?! They REPEAT it SEVERAL times while holding back their LAUGHTER!!! That is a SIGN of a FUNNY person!!! So is PILING on EROCK who lacks the COMEDIC SENSE and general non-retardness to RESPOND to it. That's FUNNY!!
5 danimalplanimal 2016-09-27
well that being said...Sam is still better than Opie
2 SueLightningsPenis 2016-09-27
I know it still wears heavy that your protege betrayed you but despite being a horrible lisping little shit he's got a lick of talent and humor in there.
1 boofk 2016-09-27
Sam annoys the shit put of me too, but he does make me laugh from time to time with his sarcasm. That's something opie is incapable of doing.
1 Arturo_Bandini_ 2016-09-27
Why do you capitalize every other word? You're nuts
1 pj530i 2016-09-27
Sam is a bit funnier than Opie but he is a thousand times better at understanding jokes, going along with jokes, and not getting pissy when he's being made fun of.
1 pfg-sciple 2016-09-27
When has SAM ever been shown to TAKE a joke? He can't STAND being the butt of a JOKE or being CRITICIZED!! Just like OPIE.
4 michaeIcolestie 2016-09-27
Sam is 33
5 AnthonyAtTheTime 2016-09-27

which is infinitely better than opie
3 TossyMcSalad 2016-09-27

just write what you think it in the header. so silly.

It's all I know. I'm a former Gawker writer.
3 Dennyislife 2016-09-27
The bit Sam and Jim did today about Anthony Weiner but using it just to take shots at Opie was great.
1 Individually_Placed 2016-09-27
I listened but only got the shot where Jim said he thought being interrupted all the time was annoying. What else was there? Alcoholism makes me forget things.
2 jarjarjelly 2016-09-27
ditto this in all regards
2 chiponmy_shoulder 2016-09-27
Sometimes I tug on my pickle until white, sticky goo shoots everywhere.
2 JuiceBusters 2016-09-27
Ok but Sam is garbage. If he wasn't Opie's little shithawk sneak he could not possibly get away with sounding like a turdy intern laughably trying to do a terrible podcast.
Anyways, he's getting better slowly. I mean I guess anyone can get not horrible after a decade.
2 TheGreaterTool 2016-09-27
Sam has the hairline that proves he was born in 1961
2 Jimandthem 2016-09-27
Give it a few weeks, everyone here will hate the JAM show
1 Yardley01 2016-09-27
Sam is a genius, he played the game perfectly and will probably end up in the best position when this is all over. Young, talented and hire-able.
1 JerkStoreJ 2016-09-27
No one who chooses the radio business is a genius
1 Alvalanker 2016-09-27
Sam is much better than Opie has ever been, at life and at radio.
1 late_50s_why 2016-09-27
so true sam is basically living in garbage with an unfulfilled wife while opie owns a 10m apartment with 2 kids
3 RacistPigeon 2016-09-27
A mortgaged apartment with another man's kids and a six for a wife. Yeah, he did well for a rich man.
1 late_50s_why 2016-09-27
so true that fawking pig, -10 out of 10 would not bang
fawking crack hoe
1 BoardroomBimmy 2016-09-27
Most everyone in radio is better than Opie. That doesn't speak much to Sam's mediocre talent.

Sam is pretty terrible in his current role. I liked the shit stirrer Sam back in the O and A days. Now he's a balding 30 something trying to find relevance in urban culture. Doesn't work.

Sam doesn't watch porn. Sam is a fag who happens to be married.

Sam is now doing what he always dreamed of doing, while Opie always dreamed of being bigger than Stern.
1 ChippinKenny 2016-09-27
Great. Now compare Sam's net worth to Opie's.
1 TheBeardItches 2016-09-27
Sam is s truly unlikeable little mama boy who is into childish things that make him utterly unrelatable to most people.
But...
He is a brilliant strait man. Special delivery was one the best shows on the channel because Sam knew excatly how much rope Dave needed to be funny. His interactions with Chip and uncle Paul are perfect.
I, hopeful this will be a good show.

Let's stop pretending broadcasting is a skill. If you suck and your personality sucks and everything about you sucks your gonna suck as a broadcaster.. hence Opie.
