Quality post. God bless you too.

Not to mention the "look who wore a nice shirt today" because of a guest bit was already done with Erock and the Chris rock movie.

Erock is actually the best actor out of all of them.

It was done to Sam too after he started dressing nicer at one point.

J&S need to sign someone like Ant immediately, otherwise Sam will turn into Opie, telling fake stories and talking about his pet topics just to kill time.

Too late; Sam already drones on endlessly about his pet topics and things in the news he knows absolutely nothing about.

That's just what he's used to from the old show. It worked well when he was still only on the air once in a while for shit stirring but now he can't let it go.

His co-host attributes everything to a fetish. At least Sam mixes it up.

Sam Roberts is man child that knows nothing about psychology and dare I say, how to funny or interesting on the radio.

Well basically this is it. He stretches everything out. Sentences, thoughts, bits, words - whatever - just to fill air time.

He really is an awfully boring, untalented broadcaster.

I don't think sam is awful but I agree, its just to fill air time between guests and news stories/videos. Make something out of nothing to fill the air, honestly they do radio 3 hours a day for 5 days a week...just saying, I have acted like i was busy when I was not a bunch on jobs..

also, D Bag is definitely no Bobo...or even Erock. Its kinda sad that they are trying to push him into that roll. Make you appreciate how amazing of a find Bobo really was...im not Loyiing

Contrast that with Erock getting a beating for his fancy shirt when Chris Rock was filming something in the building. The whole thing was hilarious thanks to Erock being a great punching bag and Ant actually being funny.

Yes this is a useless comment. Thinking about that just made me sad is all.

Your boy Sam does this whether he needed to fill in 15 min of air time when there was the pre and post show and he does it now when he has 3 hours to fill.

He's not interesting. He's a child. His voice is terrible.

He got the dragon stance from Ronnie B otherwise he wouldn't have even known they were on the show.

Or he saw a clip briefly on facebook/some site or heard it from a friend or something, they really are a fairly big point in the show, its hard to miss it. Not everyone just copies Ron's opinions.

I like Sam in general, but I will agree that his "broadcasting" background means that he uses every fucking part of the buffalo; nothing that can fill airtime will be avoided.

d-bag is still a thing?

I believe it's Derick.

I just came here to state the obvious: Sam is a fucking dork.

Sam's so duplicitous that every single move he's made in radio has been carefully pre-planned with Sam weighing every thing he says against how it might improve his career. He knew exactly who to schmooze at the right time and got to where he is today not by raw talent but by carefully crafting every move to fulfil his own ambition.

Sam see's interns do anything resembling what he did and it triggers him. He dresses them down for the exact same shit he did because he doesn't want somebody else doing to him what he did to Opie.

Fair enough. Look, I know he worked hard to get there but I can't help but feel he played delicate politics at every opportunity in those halls. He was good at playing people off each other. Let's face it, Opie isn't that sharp. Do you honestly think Opie gave Sam a show simply out of admiration for his so-called 'talent'? Or do you think Sam had Opie exactly where he wanted him? I think Opie deserves the death of a thousand rapists personally and love that an intern has took his slot and his seat. But that doesn't mean I have to like the sort of personality that Sam has.

As for on air, we all know Sam isn't funny. And that's a problem when you only have 1 comic in there. When Opie was 1st mic, Jim had Ant to feed off and respond to. That's partly why Opie and Jim sucked. And fair enough it's not Sam's fault Jim has nobody to feed off. But it's like he doesn't want to go out on a limb with a topic or take a chance on something other than bland interview style morning radio. Sam's so intent on just keeping the show together and organised that he's forgotten it needs to be entertaining.

Sam reminds me of Little Finger from Game of Thrones.

He's definitely 'Little Fingered' his way to Opie's seat. I mean it was genius of him to do that and all. Anybody who dethrones the Opester and helps force him to an afternoon abyss deserves plaudits. But it's the way he did it. You could see him playing delicate politics in the hall...playing people off each other and coming out top. Personally, I find people like that to be giant fucking arseholes.
