I understand that and I feel the same way about those guests. I would prefer if Jim kept the UFC talk to his UFC podcast unless there was a major happening such as the rousey loss. The pornstars are even worse in my estimation because they not only have nothing worthwhile to say, but are also using the show to try and get themselves over as legitimate talents. The UFC guys are boring, but al least they aren't trying to spin the interview into an audition.
yeah, I think Sam does a really good job of interacting with Jim, and he's very funny in his own right. I look forward to listening to the show again everyday for the first time in a long time.
No. This is patently false. Sam is terrible. He is absolutely awful at being a broadcaster. I listen to their shows that are posted on YT in spite of Sam Roberts. His delivery, his long winded sentences just to take up time (is that Broadcast Radio 101?), the 'scenarios' he makes up on the spot are rarely funny and almost always go nowhere; Jim usually jumps in to save him.
They never shut up! They'll just go on about it for the entire first break. We get it. Trump fucks himself by going on Twitter. Say something funny or move on.
everyday. I have no problem with celebrities, porn stars, wrestlers or fighters. I realize my tastes don't really line up with those of most of this sub, but the show totally works for me.
I wouldn't say I don't have a problem with them, but they've been there on every incarnation of the main show. It couldn't be more retarded to start complaining about it now like it's something new. I suffer through them and then zone back in for the good parts like I have for a decade and a half.
Me too. People hate interviewing celebrities and MMA people, so who would everyone else prefer? Some drone from CERN who doesn't know how to talk right? Politicians reading an internal script? Nobody likes the callers so that cuts out normal people with regular jobs. Who the fuck is out there that would actually make a good interview? James Hetfield talking about bees? Everyone in the world is gay and stupid.
I listen every day because it fills the boredom. There's always stuff to talk about in the news or whatever and they spend half of every show on Adrian "sick baby". It's awful. Sam tries so hard to keep the bit going like there's nothing else to go to. Also Sam's verbal crutches ("you know what I mean", "I didn't realize.. ", "that's the WORST") get pretty douchey after hearing them 80 times.
they spend an hour talking about the news and people complain they don't know shit about politics and want more staff shit; they do a full hour of staff Adrian/D-Bag/in-show banter, and you cry they need more news. you can't please everyone.
also, you listen everyday and don't know the difference between Adrian and Sick Baby D-Bag??
bitch, I've never complained about them covering news or politics. They're not good at it but it's still listenable. And no, I do not the difference between them because I fast forward through that shit. Same with most of their interviews.
It never really grabbed me. I give it a listen on Youtube, every other week or so, when I'm sick of listening to my usual podcasts. (Gavin McInnes, Tom Leykis, Adam Carolla, No Agenda)
I do, I generally find the rapport funny and interesting. I'm a UFC fan so find those dudes interesting but that's me.
But in all seriousness...Gary Busey could have Mary Jean pissing in his mouth while juggling gold doubloons and I still wouldn't be entertained by either one of those fuck wits.
I gave up real early on. I'm not nostalgic about much in life let alone the Opie & Anthony world so when Jim & Sam started I listened for a little while then assessed that the show was going nowhere, I bounced. I moved on a long time ago & really could care less about any of them, I just come here once in awhile for fun & to laugh.
I'll listen to segments when they've got someone good on (Soder, CQ etc) but am never in a rush to hear it to be honest. It's ok but mostly I just can't get over Sam's voice. It's headache inducing and has no business being broadcast and that's before you take into account the mediocre shit he says. Still love Jimmy though, despite his many flaws.
Tapped out during the xmas break. I don't think I'll ever go back to listening. I just cannot stand sam's voice or his hackey verbal crutches. I assume management loves the direction of the new show.
Does Stern even do radio anymore? Whenever I turn to his channel it's either clips for 10+ years ago or if it is something new it's just gary and some other nobodies talking and Howard isn't there.
Yeah he's a solid guest no matter what he's on. I just listened to an old O&A episode a few days ago with him on it, right when Cosmos just came out, and the whole show was fantastic. He's a great dude.
I haven't listened since Jim passive aggressively shut Nick Mullen down for some reason that nobody is really sure about.
I'm shocked by how few comedian guests they've had on the show since it started. Obviously people like Colin and Bobby don't need the show like they once did, but there are plenty of young comics who would fill that role well. The Nick Mullen thing tells me that not only are there apparently going to be full weeks where pornstars and UFC guys are the only guests, but on the off chance that they do get a funny comic in, there's no knowing whether Jim will try to riff with them or try to shut the show down because of some weird insecurity he has.
No, I'm surprised resident weirdo /u/TheScarletR who seems to get through the phonelines at will hasn't broached the subject yet in one of his long, aimless rambles
This is why I am surprised by the support this sub gives the show. Between the two of them, the show is awful. Sam is just not an interesting or funny guy and Jim has become a shell of himself. Without some funny comics the show has turned into dreck. The "sick baby" shit would have been on the "after show " 5 years ago. Now? Everyday and for a significant amount of time.
Nick has written for Norton in the past - for his Vice show at least, and maybe more. Jim was the reason they had Nick on the show. Here's the full segment with Nick.
For no clear reason, at some point during the show Jim decided that he was going to ruin the rest of the show. Pretty much the entire second half of the segment is garbage because he's forcing this weird video app discussion into the show, but the worst of it is from about here (1:21:25) until the end.
After Jim had 100% checked out of the show and decided he was just going to look down at his phone for the rest of his show, Sam and Nick were trying to still make the show listenable and would actually get a decent riff going a couple of times despite the weird tension Jim had created in the room, but baby boy didn't like that, so he torpedoed their conversation with worthless interruptions:
I listen, but to their YouTube channel and I downgraded my SXM to music only a long time ago from previously having the full package plus the online streaming. Helps fill my work day, and no other podcast has really caught on.
I tried it once when I was driving but the voice levels being so up and down made it hard to listen to but I will certainly have to revisit it, and I'm hoping it was them first getting used to the setup and that it has improved in future episodes?
I actually Care A Lot about MMA and know more about the UFC roster than Jim, an actual paid employee of the organization, but I have very little patience for any fighter interviews. The only fighter worth interviewing is Chael Sonnen, which is why he already has his own broadcast cottage career going on
Not even Connor mcgeroger? That chanel is always shilling something so all the predictions are wrong and all his opinion worth nothing, he's entertaining tho
No. I think I was just more happy for Jimmy that he doesn't have to work with a human chrisma vaccuum like Opie any longer tmore so than I was interested in the show. Sam and Jim have some kind of cute childish chemistry and I hope they are much happier now, but its not for me. I find the show dull. I tried listening a few times but its just low energy cutesiness with guests I don't want to hear at all. It has a certain phony morning zoo quality to it, as well.
I tried for the first few weeks to support Jim, but Sam is just awful. He's so bad I was embarrassed to listen to it without headphones.
I only hear some here and there while waiting for Bennington to start, and it seems to be getting worse.
Lucky for them, in 8 days all of the hate in this sub and Twitter will shift to Jason Ellis so J&S can continue on cruise control until the channel is cancelled.
Listen daily. I only ever tune out if the guest is super fucking boring, which can be often. I wish they'd stop trying to interview and try to have a conversation
I enjoy it. Not as good as O&A in its prime, but very good. Sam can set up and play off of Jim/his characters 1000x better than Opie. It's much better than Opie and Jim and TACS.
It's funny. I think the talk has become more troll-like, which is penalties why it finds more support here than Opie, who is troll-bait for fueling and constantly bringing up the "haters".
I stopped listening. I used to just tune in when they had a cool guest in, but now I don't even do that anymore. Feels too much like a normal bland radio show that is no different that the rest of them.
I listen, but not everyday and I usually skip the interviews. If I look and it says there were three guests in that day then I don't bother.
I think Sam, Jim, and Travis are funny together but wish the show didn't lean on guests and news stories so much. Not everything in the newspaper is worth discussing on a comedy show, and most guests add nothing. They had the women from Fuller House in last month for an interview. Besides killing time, I just don't see the point.
But in general I think the show is ok, even if it's not worth listening to every minute of it.
Quit after two weeks. Sam is fucking awful, worse than Tits by miles and once Jimmy's initial good vibes wore off the show descended into who-gives-a-fuckville.
How has anyone ever liked a single word Sam has ever spoken?
no. I don't even like when he talks bad about himself. Its comes across as fake and condescending. He is the epitome of what went wrong with the OnA universe. He's an intern that has a morning show. He's never went out and made a name for himself, he just stayed there 24/7 like denny until the lazy management created bullshit reasons why he'd make a good host.
I can't. Sam's voice is on another level of professionalism and likability that makes me reflect on my own lowly self-worth. It's nearing greatness and that's why I cannot listen. I'm also afraid that any loved one who catches me listening will think "Who's that smooth voiced radio pro?" and leave me in the dust.
I listen everyday, I enjoy it. I listened to Sam at night and I think the show will get better as time goes on. I like that he actually engages Jim instead of adding nothing like a useless pile of tits.
I don't. Jimmy's cute-sy shtick was funny back when it was used as a contrast to his mean and crude insults. Now it dominates the full morning. No thanks.
With that said, they finally shit on Opie and that makes me happy. I hope they do well but I won't be a regular listener.
I listen and usually enjoy it a lot. I'm willing to pay for a subscription solely for banter between Jim and Sam. I often find myself skipping over guests and interviews. I did it for o&a as well
Still listen from time to time, but don't feel like I'm missing anything if I don't. I think it's over, Opie and Anthony are irrelevant, Jim and Sam are decent but not great, Ron is the best but his show is stale, Gail just isn't good radio. This sucks
I wish they the best, but I don't like the show and there are too many other ways to spend time. They have boring chemistry, nothing of any interest happens.
It's not bad, it's not good, it's just dullsville.
I sub to TAC and I got to admit the "old man Ant" is becoming a real issue. Everything is "back in the day....." and like an old man, telling the same stories again and again. I don't know how many times I've seen clips of the "Brady bunch variety show" as Ant belly laughs and repeats "The father was gay!" Also trying overly hard to appear current and cutting edge, fake hair, fake teeth..waving his phone around, proclaiming "Who has books anymore, I have this"
We all grow old. Own it, don't try to hide it.
If the guests include an MMA fighter, a porn star, tranny, wrestler, female comic or so-so actor I skip. So basically I'm skipping quite often. I don't think I've heard a show in months.
Plenty of people like it. I mean it's funny right? Jim using chip as a crutch at every occasion. That's hilarious, right? And this trav dog/teffting thing is a fucking riot. I mean it definitely doesn't sound like a desperate grab to be a "thing". How about Jim's alcoholic and sex stories? I never tire if hearing those. And isn't it great having porn stars popping in? It's just like the 1990's Howard days right? Oh and the UFC fighters. They're fascinating. How they won that one fight or how they don't like that other fighter...i can hardly keep up! Or how about Sam Roberts? I mean he deserves to be on radio for sure. His voice isn't at all annoying. He's not at all a safe radio jock wannabe and his interview skills are top notch. Plus those bits...i mean who could forget those bits! It's just like WNEW days right gang? I mean he's definitely better than Opie. And he's just as funny as Ant too. And he has better chemistry with Jim than Ant does too. But most of all I was sick of hearing other funny comedians in a room with Jim. I hated when they'd all get together and just bullshit without a ship steering nobody there to carefully structure the show in and out of break. I'm so glad they rarely have a load of comedians in. That's what I hated about O&A.
Anybody who doesn't like the show is clearly retarded and should just stick to compound media or Opie. Clearly you have no taste and just don't know good radio.
I understand that and I feel the same way about those guests. I would prefer if Jim kept the UFC talk to his UFC podcast unless there was a major happening such as the rousey loss. The pornstars are even worse in my estimation because they not only have nothing worthwhile to say, but are also using the show to try and get themselves over as legitimate talents. The UFC guys are boring, but al least they aren't trying to spin the interview into an audition.

n/a McGowan9 2017-01-15
I'll listen to segments when they've got someone good on (Soder, CQ etc) but am never in a rush to hear it to be honest. It's ok but mostly I just can't get over Sam's voice. It's headache inducing and has no business being broadcast and that's before you take into account the mediocre shit he says. Still love Jimmy though, despite his many flaws.

Tapped out during the xmas break. I don't think I'll ever go back to listening. I just cannot stand sam's voice or his hackey verbal crutches. I assume management loves the direction of the new show.

Does Stern even do radio anymore? Whenever I turn to his channel it's either clips for 10+ years ago or if it is something new it's just gary and some other nobodies talking and Howard isn't there.

Yeah he's a solid guest no matter what he's on. I just listened to an old O&A episode a few days ago with him on it, right when Cosmos just came out, and the whole show was fantastic. He's a great dude.

Everyone loves Space Negro. He's not threatening, like Will Smith.
n/a Flangirlamt 2017-01-15
I haven't listened since Jim passive aggressively shut Nick Mullen down for some reason that nobody is really sure about.
I'm shocked by how few comedian guests they've had on the show since it started. Obviously people like Colin and Bobby don't need the show like they once did, but there are plenty of young comics who would fill that role well. The Nick Mullen thing tells me that not only are there apparently going to be full weeks where pornstars and UFC guys are the only guests, but on the off chance that they do get a funny comic in, there's no knowing whether Jim will try to riff with them or try to shut the show down because of some weird insecurity he has.
n/a bonerang 2017-01-15
Did someone call into the show and ask Jimmy about this yet? Can't remember but it was a really weird segment with Jim giving Nick absolutely nothing.

This is why I am surprised by the support this sub gives the show. Between the two of them, the show is awful. Sam is just not an interesting or funny guy and Jim has become a shell of himself. Without some funny comics the show has turned into dreck. The "sick baby" shit would have been on the "after show " 5 years ago. Now? Everyday and for a significant amount of time.

I've been listening but never a full show - I missed the Nick Mullen thing - what was that?
n/a Flangirlamt 2017-01-15
Nick has written for Norton in the past - for his Vice show at least, and maybe more. Jim was the reason they had Nick on the show. Here's the full segment with Nick.
For no clear reason, at some point during the show Jim decided that he was going to ruin the rest of the show. Pretty much the entire second half of the segment is garbage because he's forcing this weird video app discussion into the show, but the worst of it is from about here (1:21:25) until the end.
After Jim had 100% checked out of the show and decided he was just going to look down at his phone for the rest of his show, Sam and Nick were trying to still make the show listenable and would actually get a decent riff going a couple of times despite the weird tension Jim had created in the room, but baby boy didn't like that, so he torpedoed their conversation with worthless interruptions:
https://youtu.be/zqQJn3yVu-Y?t=5151
https://youtu.be/zqQJn3yVu-Y?t=5208
https://youtu.be/zqQJn3yVu-Y?t=5341
It was a shockingly passive aggressive, bitch move. Even for Norton.
Nick has since said on his podcast that Jim has always been cold towards him and he has no idea why.

I tried it once when I was driving but the voice levels being so up and down made it hard to listen to but I will certainly have to revisit it, and I'm hoping it was them first getting used to the setup and that it has improved in future episodes?

I actually Care A Lot about MMA and know more about the UFC roster than Jim, an actual paid employee of the organization, but I have very little patience for any fighter interviews. The only fighter worth interviewing is Chael Sonnen, which is why he already has his own broadcast cottage career going on

n/a BoardroomBimmy 2017-01-15
No. I think I was just more happy for Jimmy that he doesn't have to work with a human chrisma vaccuum like Opie any longer tmore so than I was interested in the show. Sam and Jim have some kind of cute childish chemistry and I hope they are much happier now, but its not for me. I find the show dull. I tried listening a few times but its just low energy cutesiness with guests I don't want to hear at all. It has a certain phony morning zoo quality to it, as well.

I tried for the first few weeks to support Jim, but Sam is just awful. He's so bad I was embarrassed to listen to it without headphones.
I only hear some here and there while waiting for Bennington to start, and it seems to be getting worse.
Lucky for them, in 8 days all of the hate in this sub and Twitter will shift to Jason Ellis so J&S can continue on cruise control until the channel is cancelled.

n/a darcebaug 2017-01-15
It's funny. I think the talk has become more troll-like, which is penalties why it finds more support here than Opie, who is troll-bait for fueling and constantly bringing up the "haters".

n/a keychainipad 2017-01-15
I listen, but not everyday and I usually skip the interviews. If I look and it says there were three guests in that day then I don't bother.
I think Sam, Jim, and Travis are funny together but wish the show didn't lean on guests and news stories so much. Not everything in the newspaper is worth discussing on a comedy show, and most guests add nothing. They had the women from Fuller House in last month for an interview. Besides killing time, I just don't see the point.
But in general I think the show is ok, even if it's not worth listening to every minute of it.
n/a Stuper_man03 2017-01-15
Quit after two weeks. Sam is fucking awful, worse than Tits by miles and once Jimmy's initial good vibes wore off the show descended into who-gives-a-fuckville.
How has anyone ever liked a single word Sam has ever spoken?
n/a Sippycupofpee 2017-01-15
no. I don't even like when he talks bad about himself. Its comes across as fake and condescending. He is the epitome of what went wrong with the OnA universe. He's an intern that has a morning show. He's never went out and made a name for himself, he just stayed there 24/7 like denny until the lazy management created bullshit reasons why he'd make a good host.

n/a TonyFromLongIsland 2017-01-15
I can't. Sam's voice is on another level of professionalism and likability that makes me reflect on my own lowly self-worth. It's nearing greatness and that's why I cannot listen. I'm also afraid that any loved one who catches me listening will think "Who's that smooth voiced radio pro?" and leave me in the dust.
n/a danofthed3ad 2017-01-15

n/a PassProtect15 2017-01-15
I don't. Jimmy's cute-sy shtick was funny back when it was used as a contrast to his mean and crude insults. Now it dominates the full morning. No thanks.

I try to listen but almost every show I randomly find on YouTube is them tlaking to a UFC fighter or a random celebrity that has 0 personality.

Although I must admit the Garry Busey show was pretty damn good.
n/a HotDogsandHandJobs 2017-01-15
Still listen from time to time, but don't feel like I'm missing anything if I don't. I think it's over, Opie and Anthony are irrelevant, Jim and Sam are decent but not great, Ron is the best but his show is stale, Gail just isn't good radio. This sucks
n/a SavePoonerman 2017-01-15

I don't know how many times I've seen clips of the "Brady bunch variety show" as Ant belly laughs and repeats "The father was gay!" Also trying overly hard to appear current and cutting edge, fake hair, fake teeth..waving his phone around, proclaiming "Who has books anymore, I have this" We all grow old. Own it, don't try to hide it.

If the guests include an MMA fighter, a porn star, tranny, wrestler, female comic or so-so actor I skip. So basically I'm skipping quite often. I don't think I've heard a show in months.
n/a porsalin 2017-01-15
Plenty of people like it. I mean it's funny right? Jim using chip as a crutch at every occasion. That's hilarious, right? And this trav dog/teffting thing is a fucking riot. I mean it definitely doesn't sound like a desperate grab to be a "thing". How about Jim's alcoholic and sex stories? I never tire if hearing those. And isn't it great having porn stars popping in? It's just like the 1990's Howard days right? Oh and the UFC fighters. They're fascinating. How they won that one fight or how they don't like that other fighter...i can hardly keep up! Or how about Sam Roberts? I mean he deserves to be on radio for sure. His voice isn't at all annoying. He's not at all a safe radio jock wannabe and his interview skills are top notch. Plus those bits...i mean who could forget those bits! It's just like WNEW days right gang? I mean he's definitely better than Opie. And he's just as funny as Ant too. And he has better chemistry with Jim than Ant does too. But most of all I was sick of hearing other funny comedians in a room with Jim. I hated when they'd all get together and just bullshit without a ship steering nobody there to carefully structure the show in and out of break. I'm so glad they rarely have a load of comedians in. That's what I hated about O&A.
Anybody who doesn't like the show is clearly retarded and should just stick to compound media or Opie. Clearly you have no taste and just don't know good radio.

I understand that and I feel the same way about those guests. I would prefer if Jim kept the UFC talk to his UFC podcast unless there was a major happening such as the rousey loss. The pornstars are even worse in my estimation because they not only have nothing worthwhile to say, but are also using the show to try and get themselves over as legitimate talents. The UFC guys are boring, but al least they aren't trying to spin the interview into an audition.
