What even happens on Jim & Sam?

[IDidThisForYou]

Shortly after Anth got fired, Lady Di called in to say her roommate Bill died. Opie gave a hyped up “Bill??!!?!!” while Jim’s response was “Bill died huh? oh wow”. This was maybe 2 weeks after. The second Anth was fired, Jim lost any zest for the show. Any character he did sounded more forced. Chip’s “Fawk yeah!” made you think Jim would start vomiting after doing it.

But that defeated, flat toned energy is still today and has been for years. Jim still hasn’t realized stand up and movies are beyond him. He’s bored on the show. But he hasn’t accepted this is the end.

 

[Uncle Anthony Cumia]

Yeah but Worm doesn’t even know anything really about MMA. He’s just obsessed with masculine men. So what the fuck does he even talk about in regards to fighting? It’s not like he can go in depth.

That one guy looks like he punches hard- typical Norton MMA analysis.

 

[Antwan Kumiya]

I listened out of habit for a short bit, since I was in the car at the time they were on. It was the most safe, mundane, vanilla conversations and completely devoid of any humor whatsoever . It’s hard to believe the Tim & Sam version of Morton is the same person that made me loff for a decade.

Sirius refuses to post youtube clips consistently. They ask to video segments all the time and Sirius says they can't spare the equipment. Its a fuck you. They got pay cuts with more vacations. They finally got a podcast but Sirius motherfucked the youtube. Scumbaaaaaaags. Jim has foot out the door

Lol if Jim and Sam had any integrity they would have moved on a whole contract ago but they’re so desperate for work they can’t. This is the same shit SXM was giving O&A during the last few years: “No we can’t knock down a wall. No we can’t have a video element”. But we have to remember these people are also retarded and “couldn’t get podcast equipment into the city”.

 

[Sue Lightning]

It’s less about what goes on and the attitude. They’re filling fucking dead air, the same thing O&A was doing in the last 3 years. They’re not getting on the radio thinking how they can entertain, or provide humor, or get bigger, or get on the news, literally anything. It’s just autopilot and praying you have a job by next October.

I bet that guy gets you in a toe hold man and it’s a fucking problem. He looks like a real motherfucker in the ring man.

 

[THE D]

The last time I remember them doing anything relevant was that clip where Nancy Grace walked out on them. That was 6 years ago.

Took a look at their YouTube channel and they've uploaded about 6 videos in the last year. Circling the drain, just like O&A in the last few years (except with way less relevance).

For a show that hasn't created any new content in 9 years, they do pretty big numbers on the yeeu-tewbs.

O&A archive contains a lot of culturally significant moments with notable and influential individuals. Just nobody knows or cares about it.

Still shocked faggot journalists have spent years trying to create stories on "the origin of the alt right" with O&A undetected right under their noses. Opie will smartly distance himself from it now, but he was usually right there with Ant criticizing the nigs and the women accurately. And a lot of Patrice's rhetoric could be lumped in with Incel and MGTOW shit. O&A did all that before anyone. Plus the Burr, Louis, Jeffries, etc. Tapes. They are just as valuable as Stern's much larger archive (which is mostly him bitching)

It was looking like Sam had some sort of future with WWE, then Pat McAfee came in and stole his thunder. He also provides a better platform for wrestlers to go on for promotion (ie a show people actually listen to)

Can someone explain to me (retarded, asperger's, down syndrome, tiny penis) why they continue to hold the show then? They do this with a lot of garbage too. Yeah, maybe it doesn't cost too much to upkeep, but certainly the opportunity cost of not having something popular in that slot/channel would be reason to can it? It's been around for half a decade and no one's listening.

I know Netflix has a business model that's almost exclusively based upon getting new feet in the door and those people forgetting about their subscriptions for months, even years. I'd think SiriusXM probably works similarly, but usually those new carrots Netflix dangles are promising some big actors or writers attached to them. Nobody knows who the fuck Sam Roberts is, and for a D lister like Jim they could hire anyone new without years of legacy salary to honor.

How's Sirius doing anyway? People under 40 have podcasts/youtube/steaming for their cars or businesses, and people over 60 still use terrestrial and CDs and shit. I can't imagine the people willing to pay for music they didn't choose is a large pool, and I'm not aware of any of their shows that have a big audience. The trash most boomers listen to radio for, sports, is already free on terrestrial in most cities.

Jim uses it to to attack Opie and Sam uses it to make Erock jokes

I don’t think there’s too many people in entertainment who still want to do radio when they can potentially make more money doing a podcast on their own terms without having to live near the Sirius studio. So I think jim and sam staying is more because Sirius doesn’t have a replacement for them yet. Like others here have said though, Sam will stay no matter what. But I’m curious to see who Jim’s replacement will be since it seems like Sam isn’t that close with any of the comics anymore.

 

[Ants Hard Drive of Horror]

I imagine it's the WWE and Porn Stars show. Fake wrestling and fake fucking. Why wouldn't that be all that two middle-aged men talk about?

Ian fidence or Mike cannon will replace Jim unless Dan soder decides to return to radio in my opinion

 

[Say “Cookie”]

Trannies, MMA, Kiss Posters, Rasslin, Fast food, uninformed political takes, Sam’s faggoty knowledge of pop culture aimed at people 15-25 years younger than him, and calls from truckers. That’s pretty much every Jim and Sam.

You forgot the endless talking about Jim’s farts and shits. Also Jim’s obsession with pretzels and mustard. I used to put it on as background noise while working and even that became unbearable. Jim has been there strictly for the check for a decade, he has no other source of income.

Satellite radio is a long dead industry propped up by automakers and truckers.

 

[EraGodless]

I’ve never listened to a single clip let alone a full episode, what the fuck even happens on their show? I ask because it’s been live for years and yet I’ve NEVER seen a highlight or something even semi-viral come from them.

Do they just talk about wrestling and porn for 3 hours?

I imagine it looks/sounds like something like this:

Mike Cannon is a good guess. Ian is too unreliable to get a big job like that though

[1950'sSpaceProgram]

The only thing I ever listened to at length was "Shitloaf torture" compilations. It's just a very, very weak version of "intern fights" from O&A. They seem to try it with every employee.
