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?

You got it my man

Fuck that's a hilarious line. It applies to so many things. Stanhope really is a drunk sage.

It most certainly is a low bar

Sam is only 31? Goddamn.

These people don't age well.

He looks like one of the chimps that Matthew Broderick couldn't save in Project X.

This reference came out when Sam was 2. lol.

I always thought he looked like the caveman dude from the Geiko commercials back in the day.

Or from the TV show. Funny enough, Nick Kroll was one of those cavemen.

why is that funny?

It's not. That's the bit.

Mongrel, mulatta !!

33 actually, but yeah.

You try eating nothing but "fish" sticks and "chicken" nuggets for 30 years.

I thought it had something to do with the testosterone treatments he received as a child.

He got HGH shots, not testosterone.

His emaciated caveman mulatto body and love of chicken tendies will really bring in the "i still live with my parents" audience

Sam is a few years older than me and I'm 31.

He's 33.

[deleted]

god damn what hes doing is acceptable if hes 25 or something

that's also his weight

I don't know how Sam navigated that situation without pissing off Opie, Ant, or Jim. Maybe that little prick shouldn't be underestimated.

If It becomes the Sam & Jim show, there couldn't be a more perfect ending to his career.

[deleted]

The long con

That navigation clearly ended today: "Keep your head on a swivel, because you never know.." - Opie

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?!

No. He got by being passive aggressive, and being a yes man little bitch. Besides, they needed a minority hire on the show.

Sams 33 you fuck.

well, than I was fucking wrong about his age.

You were being kind, he looks like he's around 48.

That is a far assessment. He has the hair line of Bald Opie.

Wait notjoecumia is Than?

Jesus age. Perfect timing for all this.

Sam is a half a nigger.

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

Hittin dat hard "R" dere

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.

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

Yes but that plan would require foresight and an accurate assessment of your own worth, neither of which Opie has.

thats why hes drowning in millions of dollars, fucking retard that guy

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.

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...

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.

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

*was doing something right.

thoughts and prayers if hes off air this sub will be a lot less fun

For all we have to say...this is also undeniable.

You sure? Seems he can only get vic henley

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?

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!!

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

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

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.

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).

SPEAK more like THAT!

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

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.

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!!

well that being said...Sam is still better than Opie

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.

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.

Why do you capitalize every other word? You're nuts

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.

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.

Sam is 33

like Christ.

Are you implying that we should nail him to something?

Tsss

Sam is the greatest treat of all time.

sam isn't great, but he's good.

which is infinitely better than opie

...clickbait.

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

It's all I know. I'm a former Gawker writer.

The bit Sam and Jim did today about Anthony Weiner but using it just to take shots at Opie was great.

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.

ditto this in all regards

Sometimes I tug on my pickle until white, sticky goo shoots everywhere.

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.

Sam has the hairline that proves he was born in 1961

Give it a few weeks, everyone here will hate the JAM show

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.

No one who chooses the radio business is a genius

Sam is much better than Opie has ever been, at life and at radio.

so true sam is basically living in garbage with an unfulfilled wife while opie owns a 10m apartment with 2 kids

A mortgaged apartment with another man's kids and a six for a wife. Yeah, he did well for a rich man.

so true that fawking pig, -10 out of 10 would not bang

fawking crack hoe

Most everyone in radio is better than Opie. That doesn't speak much to Sam's mediocre talent.

[deleted]

For a former intern he's now making more at SXM and has more listeners than his former boss!

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.

[deleted]

Sam is now doing what he always dreamed of doing, while Opie always dreamed of being bigger than Stern.

Great. Now compare Sam's net worth to Opie's.

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.

Generally more intelligent and understanding of comedy aswell

Wonder if he's got that tv money now?

....yeah, but keep in mind the dump I left in the toilet is also younger more talented and better liked than opie.

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.

And sam stinks

He does. But he's a genius compared to Gary the Conqueror-era Howard and Opie.

sam is kazier soze

Yeah but this happens often with older generations vs newer ones.

You sure? Seems he can only get vic henley

Yes but that plan would require foresight and an accurate assessment of your own worth, neither of which Opie has.

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.
