I don't want to admit it, but I think I don't like Sam

For awhile, I went through and downvoted anyone super negative about Jim and Sam. Mostly because I just wanted my comment to be higher, but still.
So, I actually started listening to the recent show clips, and wow. Sam is certainly wordy. Even when watching a clip of them with Collin Quinn and they joked about Scorch it was not entertaining.

Sam is a turd.

I'd rather listen to Opie. There's something absolutely grating about that octaroon's voice, his talentless, hack style, and endless repetition of his "jokes." He has no business being in front of a mic, but would probably make a good producer.
He gets really exposed when he's on Red Eye, where he can't control the direction of the conversation and has to fend for himself among real comedians. He sticks out like a sore, talentless thumb.
n/a turnthemaround 2017-02-11
Sir, I'm open to new ideas. But if you say you like Opie again I'm going to ask you to leave.
n/a piggyboi 2017-02-11
Fair enough - I agree and I apologize.
n/a forcedhammer 2017-02-11
And they call us haters. Pshaw.
n/a mcb84 2017-02-11
I agree with everything u said except the opie part. Sam does have the ablity to understand he needs to wait for someone to finish their thought before he starts speaking.

I think when opie fired jimmy, jimmy panicked and just said "fuck it, I'll do a show with.....SAM!". That was his mistake.
n/a jamocha_shake 2017-02-11
I like him too. I can actually listen to Sam with someone else (when Jim's out) and tolerate it.
n/a turnthemaround 2017-02-11
You have terrible reading comprehension, you dyslexic fool.
n/a WhiteSissBarelyMale 2017-02-11
yeah i like him too, seems me you and OP have a lot in common
n/a rottenseed 2017-02-11
He's the best. I like that he's not that wordy.
n/a oklolol 2017-02-11
Sam is the greatest, I thought I was the only 1 that thought he was the best part of the Jim & Sam show, but now the OP agrees with me too

There are those with good tastes. And then there is you. You're an asshole. Take care.

Sam fucking sucks. Always has.

He was a funny intern

n/a Peckahnator 2017-02-11
Noone liked him before he got the show with Jim, but suddenly everyone felt the need to like him because he is better than Opie. Remember all the abuse he got when he was a coffee fetcherer? That should always count when evaluating someone. Respectable people weren't treated like that.
n/a Doc_McCoy79 2017-02-11
I always liked Sam. He knows his strengths & limitations, he doesn't overplay his hand. He generally does his job & sticks to what he knows, and doesn't suffer from crippling insecurity and constant paranoia. I always like smart asses and shit stirrers, so maybe Im partial. Sam is a natural at that, so I liked him well enough. He makes me laff. (E's laffin)
n/a McGowan9 2017-02-11
If he knew his limitations he wouldn't have pushed for so long to be a radio host. Also, he doesn't "stick to what he knows" otherwise all of his shows would just be about wrestling, processed food and mediocre mainstream music. Granted, he was occasionally entertaining on O&A as a shit stirrer and provider of bits but his voice is headache inducing and he generally blows. In my humble opinion.
n/a dopaminenotyours 2017-02-11
Agreed. He makes a good background character. But a host? No.
n/a Doc_McCoy79 2017-02-11
I think he keeps a good lid on that stuff as far as Jim and Sam. As a SOLO host, I can't stand Sam. He's good as part of a team or when he has a legit funny person to bounce things off of. If he's by himself, he turns into a morning zoo DJ
n/a McGowan9 2017-02-11
You misspelled "faggot." And you could've kept "SOLO" in lower case, non-Bro Joe caps. Other than that, you're alright Weirdfellas.
n/a Doc_McCoy79 2017-02-11
Well I wanted to stress that idea because he is a host on Jim and Sam, but part of a team. The team part is the only time I can tolerate Harrambe Roberts.
And you're right, I have no business being a "two T" motherfucker. I spelled it wrong.
n/a turnthemaround 2017-02-11
Sam was amazing on old O&A as the shit-stirrer role or managing a segment. Current Sam as a show host isn't entertaining to me, I wouldn't describe him to have that lighter touch you're talking about now.
They really just need a third mic or more comedian guests in. They need a guest too that can be a punching bag (Bobo). They just need to make Sam talk less.
n/a Doc_McCoy79 2017-02-11
I know Im in the minority, but I disagree. I like the show best when it's just Jim & Sam bullshitting, with Travis jumping in. Most of my favorite bits have come from this, like last week when they were talking about having crushes on girls and fucking them up. That was great. (Then the goddamn callers had to get involved...)
n/a I_Hate_Knickers 2017-02-11
You know who else is in the minority?
Anthony Cumia.
n/a I_Hate_Knickers 2017-02-11
Because he's black is what I'm saying.
n/a I_Hate_Knickers 2017-02-11
And blacks are a minority.
n/a I_Hate_Knickers 2017-02-11
That's the joke.

Sam talking about fucking girls?
I'd rather listen to Jim's thoughts on politics, addiction, or how to make a successful cartoon.

He talks politics one hour every day. He doesn't know his weaknesses apparently.
n/a Doc_McCoy79 2017-02-11
Politics are in the news more than Ive ever seen in my lifetime, so they sort of have to. At least they don't take the typical slant 99% of comics and talk radio people I listen to do.
n/a GuessImAFascist 2017-02-11
I like Sam but he's still a smarmy cunt though.
n/a Scublly 2017-02-11
I agree with you, sams the best
n/a Patricki 2017-02-11
My girlfriend and i have always been and continue to be HUGE fans of the Sam Roberts experience. Jim kind of brings him down a bit, and I've always thought he could be a bit more wordy, but that bit with CQ about Scorch WAS entertaining. Thanks for the opinion OP, glad we agree.
n/a Billyassman 2017-02-11
Never liked him or his lying parents.
n/a Hunter_Cumia 2017-02-11
What did they lie about? That was cringey when they call in and fight with that actor feels that was shitting on a crying Sam
n/a UnwarrantedArrogance 2017-02-11
They are lying about his paternal ancestry.

The problem is the three main shows have basically become on the same show. Why the fuck do they need guests all the time. The Salacious Sam Roberts would take an occasional call on the pre & post o&a shows, but rarely had guests. Having guests has become a crutch for all of them...
n/a mcb84 2017-02-11
I hate that the coffee fetching intern jumped into the pilots seat after the two pilots slit their own throats and the third is doing all the heavy lifting but now suddenly acts like he designed and built the fucking plane.
n/a MaxKawalski 2017-02-11
That's true! Sam's a little out of line heah.
n/a Guinness525 2017-02-11
The third "pilot" is most certainly NOT doing any heavy lifting.
n/a WalterNitty 2017-02-11
I thought that Clip was bad too, I could sense cqs indifference to Sam's terrible attempts to make him laugh, he maybe thought the scorch stuff would give col a bit more of a kick or maybe col had low energy that day but Sam sure as was not funny and his attempts were cringe inducing. I'm sure col would agree.
n/a Anarox 2017-02-11
You fucking racist, hating Jews blacks, whites and what I assume people with severe autism all at the same time
n/a ooyama 2017-02-11
Sam needs to realise that Derek is not an interesting or funny person. I don't know why he feels the need to dedicate 25% of each show to repetitive, boring Derek talk. Some staff over the years have been actually interesting people, but he isn't one of them. Don't try to force it, Roberts.
n/a jsnoots 2017-02-11
Derek talk is super boring. The sexy voice stuff? Not a bit amusing, just some kid with no confidence in what he is saying. Quizzing Derek about how he fucks his chick and where he cums is just lazy filler. Sam needs to be punched in the face when he tries to get that shit going.
n/a MicroPeckah 2017-02-11
Problem is Derek is a pleasant guy that cares about the show and can do his job well.
n/a oceanic231 2017-02-11
Some of the jokes Sam throws out its like what the hell man?! How the fuck did you just let yourself say that on radio? No one in studio will laugh but he wont take the clue and just keeps dive bombing. Him doing the Arnold impression is something that i can never forget. Colossal bomb after colossal bomb.
n/a MedicatedHead 2017-02-11
Sam repeats himself over and over. Jim offers political commentary with gems like "Stop it already!"...
It's only a matter of time before it falls apart.
n/a forcedhammer 2017-02-11
IT's awful in the videos. He perpetually looks like a 20 year old office girl at AT&T in 1954 who just took her first day at the telephone switchboard, stressed that the boss might see she's barely skidding by
n/a Rondog01 2017-02-11
It's the voices. They are both sidekicks who are trying to be the leads. Sam is not a good morning guy.
n/a forcedhammer 2017-02-11
Welcome to the other side friend. There's room at the table, come on over.
n/a Audibledogfarts 2017-02-11
I like Sam. He took over Opie's channel. lets not forget that
n/a Bandits82 2017-02-11
Sam should just steer the ship and pipe down.
n/a bQQk 2017-02-11
the show is bad.
n/a WiredTrucker 2017-02-11
Sam is a hack. What makes the show unlistenable is Jim. Little queer is mailing it in. I'm with that other dude, I'd rather listen to Opie as long as Sherrod isn't on.
