Sam is worse than Opie
32 2017-04-21 by [deleted]
I now hate Sam more than Opie.
Opie is terrible, but at least we got some use out of him, he drove the bus. They used to put on a good show.
Sam cannot run a show, Sam is not funny, witty or interesting, he is terrible and yet is somehow even more full of himself and delusional than Opie is.
I want to punch him in his caveman face

I don't care, Sam is too terrible. He never earned anything he has. I can make a better radio show then Sam.
Sam's wife and children don't love him,

Sam Roberts is a Holocaust denier, Opie isn't.

That's because he doesn't know what it is except that's it's a wold he can't sperr.

What else could he have done to "earn" it?
n/a Stilichobro 2017-04-21
Accomplishments based on merit and not on sucking Opie/sirius dick
n/a breadmoccasin 2017-04-21
I'm not the biggest fan of Sam, but he worked there for like a decade and drove a long way and worked long hours. I'm sure he played the game and fellated several egos, but it's not like he didn't do a lot.
I think you're going a little too far, I never minded him as a producer, I just dislike his voice.
n/a porsalin 2017-04-21
Been talented, listenable, interesting or funny. Sure he worked hard, but on air talent for morning comedy radio needs more than a balding afro and elbow grease.
n/a uralldiseased 2017-04-21
oh he absolutely earned it. regardless of the fact that he's basically a second mouth for his wife now.
n/a onemancrimespree 2017-04-21
second mouth? the bull must have demanded two

This reality is becoming more and more apparent. Opie is definitely a worse human being. The complete lack of self-awareness coupled with his delusions of grandeur about himself and his talents are staggering. However, Sam Roberts is just un-entertaining, un-original and un-talented. I am assuming, because he is very well-liked amongst his peers, that he is a nice guy. That means zero for our intents and purposes. Sam lost me after Tits mentioned how disappointed he was in Sam. Sam proceeded to tell the audience that not only does he not give a fuck what Tits thinks, he cares even less what the listeners think. Fuck him and, OP, good thread!

Absence makes the heart grow fonder and you're a faggot.
NO ONE is worse than Opie.
n/a Stilichobro 2017-04-21
There isn't any absence...he is still on the radio...
You know what I hear on Opie's show? Laughter and people at least pretending to have a good time.
You know what i hear on Jim and Sam? Awkward silence, people who can't hide the fact that they don't want to be there, cringeworthy "humor" and wrestling, lots of fucking wrestling
Sam is worse than Opie, their new show is worse than Opie's current show...Deal with it

If a hack radio jock talks on the air and nobody hears it, does he actually raise Bam's kids?

Effort is a loose term.
Doucheholes who force out laughter, like the Opie & Mayberry Zoo Crew, or broadcast cunts like Dave and Chuck the Freak.

Jim and Sam has become a current events show. Instead of doing anything original they just talk about whatever is on the front page of reddit that day. As much as a faggot as Opie is at least he has comics on his show.
n/a Stilichobro 2017-04-21
True, although i would argue that Wrestling and UFC are pretty much the last "current events" anyone wants to hear about
n/a bc74sj 2017-04-21
Yes Doug Benson comes on once a month. Carl Ruiz is funnier than Vic and Sharrod combined.
n/a WhiskeynPeanutbutter 2017-04-21
I don't understand why some of you didn't see this coming; the guy obsessed with ozzy, feet, trannies,and eating better hasn't been radio gold with Opie's protégé with the pro wrestling obsession.
n/a Stilichobro 2017-04-21
What's wrong with Ozzy? What's your favorite er? Rhodes or Wylde?

n/a ChurchOfBaldOpie 2017-04-21
Fuck, this might be a valid point. As much as Opie and Sam are radio cancer, Opie was instrumental in getting OnA together. Didn't ant dislike Jimmy at first as well? It was Opie who brought him on.
Personally, they both suck balls. Why does one need to be shittier than the other anyways?
n/a late_50s_why 2017-04-21
I would probably hate Jim to if I were ant, maybe Opie was trying to create the highly ranked onj back then too

Not enough racial slurs. Do better.
n/a axeheadroad 2017-04-21
Revisionist cunt, Opie destroyed classic moments between some of the worlds best comics, guilt should have caused him to kill himself years ago.
"He drove the bus"? go fuck yourself
n/a packitchofsositch 2017-04-21
I don't understand how people can forget that he did the exact opposite, over and over and over. Or that he did it because he needed to force himself into funny moments out of a combination of jealousy and salary justification.
n/a forcedhammer 2017-04-21
Sam can't even drive the bus to a region where the kind of comedy that happened on 04-08 OnA took place regularly.
Guy fills the show with Wrestlers and MMA nobodies and tells off the fans when they point out that it's not what they want to hear. Sam legitimately is worse than Opie. He will never be involved in a show as funny as OnA for the duration of his career, and if Ant came back you would see that instantly.
n/a winkleham 2017-04-21
Sam is simply boring. He's a Cro Magnon-looking man child who has stupid interests and leads a dull life. He's completely unrelatable because he doesn't experience things that normal adults do, due to his stunted development. Opie is also somewhat all of these things, but his autism gives us something to talk about at least.
n/a packitchofsositch 2017-04-21
Maybe true, but I'll take a boring ship steerer over an insufferable one any day. At worst, Sam runs the board and is a straight set up man with a voice that is mildly irritating. Opie's "worst" is incalculable.
It's the numerical difference between zero and -1 billion.

n/a SeaweedBouquet 2017-04-21
Here's a big problem I have w Sam and Opie both. One of the mak reasons they are so moronic and boring is because they've never lived a life so they're just shallow. Ant had his bands, as shitty as they were, and worked a real job for a while. Jimmy had comedy and touring so he's at least been around a little bit. Sam and Opie have never done anything so they have no experience of life to talk about. It's just shitty pop culture is as deep as they go. They're just worthless empty sacks of shit.
n/a RJMontgomery 2017-04-21
Some of your favorite moments from the XM era O&A were produced by Sam.
n/a late_50s_why 2017-04-21
Good now he should move on and most of the favorite were produced by Patrice and ona

n/a i_saw_nothing 2017-04-21
Sam did a LOT of production for the O&A show, and also was the guy behind some of the funniest Bobo & Lady Di bits.
It might surprise you, but "Shut up cunts, it's Bobo time!!" was not off an off-the-cuff ad lib by Daniel Kurlan.
However, I'll upvote this because it's been a while since someone from the sub killed themself, and we need to keep that streak alive.

I agree 100% and it's crazy to even believe it has gotten to this...
n/a HughStink 2017-04-21
Even if you were driving off a cliff there'd be no excuse to start a sentence with "Opie is terrible, but at least ..." You're an embarrassment to the very foundation of this sub. Your little uprising fell flat, hush now.
n/a jofreal 2017-04-21
Opie became a bit of a lameo in the twilight of his career, and was clearly a nutcase to deal with on a personal level. At least he has a glory era to look back proudly on, where he was instrumental in the success of a classic shock jock radio show. Sam was fine as a producer who chimed in situationally. Sam as a lead mic is a travesty, for his feeble voice alone. Mix in his infantile worldview and absence of wit, and you have an utterly unqualified broadcaster. I wonder if Jim believes the grass is, in fact, greener on the other side; sure, it's nice having Greggshells out of the picture, but it has to be pure drudgery trying to produce good radio with Sam.

n/a cabaretcabaret 2017-04-21
What changed?
n/a porsalin 2017-04-21
OK, I concede. On hard work, hours put in, tenacity and drive Sam definitely has proven himself strong. He should definitely have been given more opportunities at Sirius. Denying him that is agreeing to the kind of world where hard work isn't rewarded. We have to acknowledge that in any Sam-bashing post.
BUT
There still has to be a filter for on-air personalities. You still have to acknowledge Sam's awful radio voice. Arguably one of the worst I've heard. Sure, he can't help it but it is like nails to a chalkboard every time he speaks. It is hard to listen to. And it's a comedy show. Sam seems like he has a decent sense of humour on him but he doesn't make me laugh at all. Sure, he interracts well with Jim but by himself he offers nothing. Add to this he's not at all an interesting guy. He's a manchild who eats chicken fingers and watches rasslin whilst his wife raises a child Sam seems to want nothing to do with. He talks with authority and arrogance on subjects he has little clue about and he constantly drones on about topics nobody has interest in such as rasslin, Gronk or hip hop. He's stripped the show entirely of the loose, anything goes feel when O&A would bring in comics and just fuck about for hours on end. He's turned the show into a strict formula of current affairs chat, break, intern talk, break, guest, finish. Great guests are being booked for the last half hour only so Sam can get a few hours of nonsense out first. And then we have the guests themselves. Sam has no interest in reviving the old O&A scene. Instead he's turned himself and Jim into uninformed interviewers of pornstars, rasslers, ufc fighters and dull celebrities - all of whom have no link to the old O&A universe. Sure, some of these are Jim picks but Sam seems intent on not having comedians appear. I think it's down to his insecurities of not being funny and not being able to chime in. He references this a lot. I get that he's trying to lay a marker himself and trying to distance himself from other shows to stand out. But like it or not, Sam's audience is largely O&A fans who like Jim and put up with Sam. His rasslin fanbase is way too small for a morning show on Sirius so he has no way of forming an entirely new audience based on those guys.
For me, Sam has bitten off way more than he can chew. I like him - as a producer. He gave us jocktober and countless other great bits. But he's clearly not on-air talent no matter how hard he worked or how much he deserves it. I could practice at basketball for the next ten years harder than anybody but it doesn't entitle me to start for the Celtics.
