I never thought Sam was good on O&A, but he had his moments. J&S is so bad that when I go back and listen to old O&A shows Sam sounds even worse than I remember him. He's retroactively making himself sound worse.

You used the word 'retroactively' incorrectly there.

Cavemen should be hidden not seen, Sam was a good producer, but a terrible host.

Do you always copy Jim or just i'm gay

You're just gay

true, but i just wanted to make it clear that i was very cleverly parodying the user who posts that shit every time someone uses a jimmy-ism

Yes

Well on O&A he'd just add in little tidbits or help start drama with the staff. He never actually steered the show or madeup the majority of the broadcast.

Unfortunately he just isn't a good person to actually be the star of a radio show.

He has absolutely horrible taste.... I don't know anyone who likes professional wrestling. I don't know anyone who eats like him who is above 10 years old. He's a weird little dude.

Bad taste and virtually zero life experience. He has nothing interesting to draw from, his tastes, interests and opinion are unbelievably limited. Just the person I want to hear thoughts & insights from on a daily basis.

That's why he was a great fourth mic. There was three other people in the studio to filter his shit through. He's essentially sharing the first mic with Jim now and we all know Jim isn't going to tell him to shut up when he can just look at his phone and ignore him.

I loved him on O&A. I even liked him a lot the first 5 or so months Jim and Sam was on, then the wheels just came off somewhere along the way. It also doesn't help that his voice is like nails on a chalkboard. It's like god did everything he possibly could to keep this half a neanderthal from talking for a living, and he just won't take the hint.

I think it's that gleefully abrasive personality that isn't being filtered that is really causing problems. Within four minutes of the show, Sam is prancing around giggling about how he's making everyone talk about wrestling. Sam knows no one wants to hear it but he thinks it's funny because he's running the first mic now and it's incredibly unsuspensful because you know when he gets to Jim, Jim will make a horribly prepared joke to present disinterest. The only reason it stopped was because the guests started coming out. There was audible booing during the wrestling talk but Sam thinks it's cute. Sam's ego is unhinged and without a hungover Ant and disinterested Opie to filter it through, he's just going to keep laughing at the audience and ask them "why u listening bro?".

Yeah, I think you're right. He hasn't really done or experienced anything interesting in his life. He sounds like a sheltered suburban kid who spent his whole life obsessing with professional wrestling and radio while his mom supported him 100% in everything.

He's never done anything shady. I don't think he had traveled out of the country until recently. He's never gotten in trouble.

What interesting opinions could he possibly have?

His internship with Scorch is the only interesting thing that has ever happened to Sam, and there’s not much to say about that event other than “Scorch is a treacherous weirdo who smells like dog piss.”

Okay, great, Sam, but have you done anything else with your life...? no? Nothing at all?

i hate professional wrestling as much as the next alpha male, but ron & fez were big fans so i'm conflicted...

Patrice loved wrestling. Used to watch as adults with Bill Burr

im sure even patrice stopped watching wrestling at one point like anyone with a sense of taste. Ron & Fez too. The WWE didnt release anything relevant or even watchable since the late 90's/early 00's

Sam's a little fucksnake who interloped his way to the top, there's nothing respectable about that.

That's exactly how the 0pie hate started.

Sam works best as a half forgotten memory. The best thing sam could do for his career is end it. When Ant finally writes that book from behind metal bars, sam will get his two sentences and they’ll be totally okay. Sam is nothing more than an extra to the lives of more interesting people.

They haven't cared about anything they've done for the past year

hater voice they dont CARE ABOUT US uuuuuuugh

Gilbert Godfry pulling a Byron Allen right off the bat "Tell me about Monster Rain"

I’m not here defending these two cornballs but let’s not sit here and pretend that any live OnA show was good. Those shits were so fucking lame and felt forced. Trying to get the audience involved was the worst

This. Can't speak for being there live, but at least on the radio their live shoes were never good.

The live socks were good tho... tsss

Home run Chippah!!

Opie and anthony halloween 2006 was good, car crash comedy was good

Post links if available. I’d like to listen for myself. Not sure if I remember these.

The event where they let Flava Flave take over the event was embarrassing. I believe 2007 at the Hard Rock.

The recap of it with Colin was good though.

Jim & Sam at the Village Underground was much better than this shitshow & it's was only 1 year ago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgyMsZu0w-s

We were all high on Ant being on. Now he’s a known piece of shit Gaylord who deserves all of the abuse he’s getting.

Ron &Fez lives shows were the shit!

You mean you didn’t enjoy cherry darts?

I heard a little bit of a clip someone posted here, Jim kept asking everyone about getting their ass eaten & I to turned it off within 10 seconds. It’s the same old nonsense but now it’s not even amusing anymore.

That's why I steered the ship.

Left to their own devices, Jim would talk about sex all day while rubbing his dick under the table, and Sam would steer everything towards wrestling.

That's too smooth for Opie, the rambling fool.

It's not amusing because his self-centered creepiness isn't masked with mean-spirited humor. Or humor at all. His perversions and pure laziness or lack of giving a shit have overtook Jim the comedian/entertainer

It was a letdown, honestly. I expected a little more production for a live show that they promoted. Fucking Gilbert was a dud and everyone else had no idea what they were supposed to do. Jim and Sam fucking blew it here. I’ve been on their side for awhile but what a fucking letdown.

I couldn’t fucking get through Sandy Kane. Just the worst.

Vos bombs almost every time he’s on but he’s entertaining.

Same old Sandy and lame double entendre jokes...

BUT AT LEAST SHE TRIED. She PREPARED... she had MATERIAL.. The entire second break was them talking to some random couple in the audience, and it was dreadful. If that degenerate couple WASN'T there to talk to.. what the fuck would they have done?

I saw the Bonfire Christmas Show live at The Village Underground and they had new guests for every break, prepared bits, the follow through on long-promised stuff like DJ Dead Rat, an air drumming competition which somehow kinda translated as audio-only, and a fucking hilarious rendition of Twas the Night Before Christmas.

Jim and Sam threw some formerly well-known names onto a stage and assumed the kemushtree would create itself.

Thanks for reminding me to go back to the Bonfire, I've gotten too deep with cum town.

Not every show is amazing but there are far more entertaining shows than duds. Christine is pretty fucking horrendous with her stupid huh huh huh laugh and typical boring female stories. But Lou and Jacob are fantastic producers and even their "watching YouTube" shows are hilarious because they're two quite, skilled comedians riffing. And they get comic guests. It's really the most O&A show like show, definitely on Sirius and better than 99% of podcasts.

I guess I'm one of the few people who doesn't really notice or mind Christine. I've listened to a lot of Bonfire and I've never felt she overstayed her welcome but I haven't heard a lot of the new ones. I actually prefer the show when they don't have guests, they have enough to go with on their own without dumbass Ari Shaffir gumming up the works.

The guests are real hit or miss. Bargatze or Vechionne are good but someone needs to put a screwdriver through Mike Finoa's eyeball.

You fucking nailed it.

Dropping hammers or something.

By the way, I may be some sort of asshole, but where is The Bonfire?

I can definitely tell you it's on Google.

That’s my bad, I had no idea it was an SXM show. Thought it was a podcast or something.

You been on their side cause you're a fag

HEY! CLEVER!

Thanks!

So many moments of dead air stretches. Not even the crowd was making a noise.

Just finishing now. That was brutal. 2 hours and change of quiet gilbert. The guy usually cant shutup

When you can't kill with Gilbert and Colin around you know you must stink on ice

I don't know, I think the band was good, you never hear a hack singing and playing a guitar on any other podcast that was recorded live on a comedy club stage ever

I don't know how far into the show I am at the moment, but Jim has asked Gilbert probably 8 times now about having his ass eaten. Move on to something else. This is very uncomfortable and not entertaining. There is no timing

let’s not forget Vos pointing out how many in the crowd were women. Colin had a great line early about his x-ray being interpreted as a work of art, and it got 0 from the crowd. Women are useless. Just so, so stupid.

Don Wickland must have filled the audience with the same zombies who show up for all those Bennington shows.

Had to turn it off when Sandy Kane appeared. And what was the point in reapeating Vos' bad smelling ear bit but live. It got awkward pretty fast. Sam kept reiterating every comment. Jim mocks Vos. We get it Jim. Noone wants to book Vos yet you book him for everything. Gilbert didn't really get a chance as it wasn't his show and Jim asked him about ass eating and getting his dicked sucked. Then Jim pulled out the big guns with chip. Which people now force laugh at so doesn't really work. They all tried to wing it and failed. I'm sure they'll lie 2moro and say it was amazing. Jims been retweeting compliments about it.

And what the fuck is the tefftication of America? They kept pushing some Travis angle but don't know what they were going with.

That is the angle. "Tefftification of America" is the beginning, middle and end of the joke. They say it, you laugh. Get it?

25 minutes in and I'm tapping out. This is awful

I listen to things I know I won’t like so I can tell people how much I didn’t like them

The cheating couple went on too long and got super awkward, and not the funny kind.

Ant not being there really killed the vibe. I think everyone was expecting the suprise appearance. As much of a creep Ant is, he's the missing piece here. Jim and Sam should walk in October, that's their ONLY chance at being successful at anything.

Think the towel can be thrown in on the hope of J&S ever amounting to anything. They've been at it for a while and have generated little to no heat. Sam is just not lead mic material, and Jim is displaying growth pains that come with the territory of being an aging "shock" entertainer. Both were overjoyed to be rid of His Belchness, until the reality set in that the onus was squarely on them as an engaging duo to make the venture fly, and they simply can't.

I turned it off half way through. It sold out in less than a day but the crowd seemed like it didnt know any of the shows history.

I quit listening during the Gilbert part but the whole show up until that point was weird. So many awkward silences. Even Colin and Vos were weird.

It was so fucking awkward and uncomfortable but not in a good way. In a boring ass, unorganized shitty ass way.

It was better than their average weekly shows but thats not saying much. Colin & Jim had some quick lines, Sam's only contribution was his annoying laugh, and Rich & Gilbert where so bored they barely paid any attention.

I never made it past the thumbnail. I trust the 100s of damning posts here. I don't care about any of these guys anymore

I didn't want to like it but Sandy Kane's stand-up material was fun to listen to.

And Bobo's mom loves to eat ass.

And what the fuck is the tefftication of America? They kept pushing some Travis angle but don't know what they were going with.

That is the angle. "Tefftification of America" is the beginning, middle and end of the joke. They say it, you laugh. Get it?
