Time to bail

9  2017-03-01 by porsalin

I gave Jim and Sam a listen yesterday and that hour long minaj rap shit made me so angry at Sam I could barely control myself. He should never have been given air time regardless of the hard work he put in. He has gone from fairly OK to annoying and now violently hatable in less than a year. I fucking hate him with every fibre of my being. The show was the most unlistenable one yet. Sam, please just fuck off. I'm begging you.

Meanwhile Opie's show featured Sherrod and Vic and was somehow better than Jim and Sam. Ant had a nobody on his show, albeit it actually wasn't bad. But in each situation this is horseshit entertainment. The O&A legacy is a fucking joke.

If this is what we're subjecting ourselves to then perhaps the mods ought to just complete their mission in tearing this sub apart.

Having my appendix removed and 3 weeks off work(going on the second one now) hasn't lead me to much radio time. What did I miss? Anything good?

Definitely not.

No

I couldn't agree more. You hit the nail on the head with him being fairly OK to annoying to now violently hateable. I personally cannot listen to Sam solely based on the number of times he says "like" during a show. A professional broadcaster should have the awareness to realize their annoying verbal crutches and curb their use.

"I mean..."

Only listened to a couple weeks' J&S shows, but every forty seconds Sam has to begin a thought with that.

I love the show still but I want to punch Sam through the radio every time he goes "... and blah blah blah." It's infuriating.

Totally agree. I couldn't skip through that rap discussion fast enough. I realized that Sam's into hip hop because of how it's like pro wrestling--the beefs, the disses, the costumes. Gross, gay and boring.

He barely knows anything about hip-hop either, just basic bitch pop rap they play on the radio.

Dave Landau was funny on Ants show yesterday.

who?

A standup comedian, he's been on Ants show twice and have been funny both times, dont know much more but he seems like a funny guy.

Yeah like I said it wasn't that bad. Best of yesterday's shows by a mile.

Just because Sam thinks a battle between hip hop urban or whatever you want to call the genre is compelling, it isn't. Look at your demographic, stupid. Or not 2 fucking hours on it...blech

I just only read the post title but I totally agree.

Sam really isn't up for this gig. He was fine mostly staying out of the way and just poking fun/setting up stuff (like Jocktober). Thing is, back then he was dealing with a guy like Ant who as racist/dirtbag as he was/is, could comment/reference on a range of topics. Sam's hip/hop and wrestling stuff is shitty to listen to for most people and limited.

Im losing patience with it. Jim obviously isnt going to learn to offer something of his own besides his embarrassing sex life, so we're stuck with Sam's hateable interests. When they're good, it's kind of fun. When they're bad, it's enraging. And the bad is outweighing the good.

Thankfully I dont pay for this shit.

Sam is not the problem. There is no second mic, so he has to babble through the parts where the entertainment would go.

You're probably right - a third mic would mean less of Sam and who knows? He might be palatable in smaller doses. But right now I'm grinding my teeth and clenching my fists every time I hear him.

I think when Opie was being a baby at the end of his contract, Jim and Sam felt good because their comparison was so bad. Anything against Opie sounds better. Jim sounded more relaxed and he got to be funny. But now that literally everyone has forgotten that Opie even does a show, it's highlighting just how dull Jim and Sam really are.

Man I try but the last two weeks have been awful. I want to like it but until there is a viable third mic the show just keeps worse. There's chemistry just not enough.. also show prep Jim come on man I expect more from you now that you're 'big time'

I stopped listening months ago. Sounded too regimented : show starts - light banter... News topics (done with semi seriousness)... Guest. The most generic format possible.

I personally feel retarded because I visit the sub several times a day but have not listened to any of the 3 shows since the death of OandA. Why do I do this?

yeah, I really liked the jam show for the first month or so, but it just keeps getting worse and worse

They're losing me too. It's not a visceral hatred, I just don't care and I'm tuning in less.
