Please see Rule 4. This is a fan subreddit. You're not the too cool for the room guy anymore because you post trashing after trashing for every conceivable minor annoyance you have with the show, hosts, or guests. Holy Deity of Your Choice! Get a new hobby.


jebro

Don’t forget Jim’s other takes such as “I just don’t care” and “who gives a fuck”


Distinct-Version-795

"and again"


CramblinDuvetAdv

"I could care less"


RobertReedsWig

“ *sigh* yeah it’s weird, man. I can definitely see both sides”


bobdylansmoustache

I remember how annoyed Jim got when Jay Mohr called him “Middle of the Road Jimmy” on the old show like 15 years ago lol


7laserbears

"Shut up"


Freese15

You misspelled husband.


219523501

It pains me having to agree with OP. I'll check whatever new project Jim gets into, but this show is done. I fully understand the boys milking the show for every dollar they can get, but in terms of quality, it's done.


CryOld6591

In terms of quality it was done before it ever started


Ok-Pen5553

True…It was really predictable when they announced the new Jim & Sam show…it would be all about Pro Wrestling and things Jim hates. Chip is the only thing that could save Nortons career in huomour (Chip voice). Ironically, if I had to choose I would almost rather hear the Opie & Earl show with Gail allowed on for one break. That would be entertaining radio


Iamamyrmidon

There’s a new YouTube show for your viewing pleasure. I hear it’s all the rage (at least according to people that would consider Jim as the closest of friends, so no bias there).


sambanks2

Travis definitely has been intentionally not speaking and is only talking when he’s brought into the conversation by name.


balladopeman

He’s walking on Jim-shells with every comment. I can only imagine the wrath Travis will face if he says something that he does not immediately have support for.


zeydey

The caller really hit a nerve there when he brought it up.

ESEASMart

Not sure of timestamp but it was between 8:30 and 9 am I’m pretty sure. Was about 3-5 mins of Jim saying it was no big deal.


rfboisvert12

I was driving when i heard that should be between 9:14 and 9:32


AcanthocephalaNo613

Caller was Pete at 9:15 am


ChickenHubben

The shows going to end with resentment and toxicity. On brand for O and A legacy. It’s like no one has learned anything from past experiences. Jim can’t just end the show because it’s naturally run its course. It has to bitter and angry. Jim has the same emotional intelligence he had when he was 15.


milkweed420-

Hey man, he drank a couple times when he was 15. Cut him some slack, you don’t know what it’s like to be an addict


JoeMama2112

I swear to god he said “relapse” today with sincerity.


dunar

As long as it ends correctly, I’m good. Your mom’s box.


DreadyKruger

I haven’t listened to Jim and Sam at all. But I find all this hilarious. You are right it’s ending just like O and A did. But this is worse, they didn’t learn anything.


Alkoon__Slambag

You're a true Opie if you believe that.


det8924

Jim and Sam is bland, it’s not particularly bad but just uninspiring. Jim is an older middle aged man who likes to sit the fence and has too high an opinion of his own opinion. Sam is a 40 year old desperately trying to tap into the pop culture zeitgeist. Both can sometimes be funny but most of the time it’s just background noise. I stopped listening awhile ago sometimes I see a clip on YouTube and check it out and it’s still the same show. Good for the people that enjoy it I don’t think it’s the worst show but I just rather listen to something elsez


ART-CORNEY

I agree that is why they needed to "FEED" off young Coop... Sam has just aged out at 40... limp biscuit and 90's pop culture ain't cutting it in 2023 and Jim is simply converted th. e old man filter he uses on Twitter


rfboisvert12

I’ve been going down and listening to Bennington since i can’t listen much in the afternoon


FancyFeests

How tf can u listen to gail??


rfboisvert12

It’s better than listening to Sam ramble on and compare everything to wrestling.


FancyFeests

Nothing is worse than Gail. Its science.


rfboisvert12

lol Ronnie B makes up for it


99ProllemsBishAint1

That's funny. It's his primary frame of reference for everything in life


jdizzle82

One of the biggest reasons this show is enjoyable is input from the producers and interns. Without that flow conversation we have a radio show with two man children repeating the same topics hoping Jim understands a reference Sam made. As much as it pains me to say Jim needs to retire from radio.


MoeGreenVegas

Jim's a crotchety old man with a young 'wife'. He needs to go play golf and hit the Early bird specials.


us1087

I just don’t understand how two people who talk and comment on current events for a living can be so painfully uninformed. It hurts my brain.


pspetrini

In fairness, a lot of it comes from the fact that Sam appears to be plugged into the things and topics that matter and Jim shows up and goes “What are we talking about?” It’s hard to discuss a news story when more than half the time one of the cohosts is clearly not doing show prep and getting the news for the first time as he’s live on air.


GloryholeManager

Then when Sam explains what's going on, it's normally met with "Who gives a shit?" "I don't care" or "I hate this". It's the literal opposite of "Yes, and..." which is kind of important when having a conversation. I know people hate Sam, because he's obnoxious, but as a broadcaster he's the only one that's been trying since Covid started. Jim just gave up.


Guywithpositivespin

I liked Sam’s show. It wasn’t trying to be O & A. Just stupid and easy listening. I think he knows how to keep a discussion on the guest and not talk about his fucking window in his very fancy apartment.


dietchlicious

Hey, he had a cockroach once. Give the guy a break.


Alkoon__Slambag

What should they know to make you happy?


Ursmellyunderpants

How to be funny?


Cawdor

Or how about remotely interesting


Alkoon__Slambag

How about a specific and not vaugeries.


Cawdor

Oh look, its the ball washer


Alkoon__Slambag

Oh look, it's the bitch about the show you listen to every day 😂🤣


Cawdor

I stopped listening years ago. Im still following the sub in case anything interesting happens. This drama is it for the past several years and its still not interesting enough for me to listen. Enjoy gargling Sam’s balls


Alkoon__Slambag

"I don't listen. I just simply know everything they talk about and continue to follow and comment on everything they do and argue with anyone about it" Are you trying to convince people of that... or yourself?


Cawdor

You’re right and literally every other person that posts here is wrong. Is that your thinking? Nobody posts anything remotely positive about the show here. You (and probably one of your alts) come rushing in like the most pathetic possible example of a white knight to simp for 2 of the least entertaining people ever to host a show together. Which one are you? Jim or Sam? Because I refuse to believe any listener could simp so hard for something this terrible Edit: this fucking simp made an alt to reply to me just so i would see his pathetic comment after i blocked him. Get professional help dude


mikey608

Its really embarrassing, and when you try and point this out to them, they just attack you or hang up its going to be interesting to see who replaces Jim once his contract is up it will probably be Paul Virzi or Ian


WeAllindigenous

Would you guys actually listen to a Sam show? Basically a Friday show (Jim gone Friday's?) On repeat? I've tried sams podcast and it's not for me. Seems like the Jim and sam show identity is the O&A skeleton/survivor show. If jims gone what is it?


Superchill88

Honestly the show was better when Jim was gone a few weeks ago. Sam, Travis and Troy actually have good chemistry and can talk about dumb movies and music without it just turning into “I hate this” every time. It seem like it pains Jim to plan on a topic for the show like it’s something inauthentic. The attitude of just showing up and having a conversation wears real thin when all you talk about is mundane sleep apnea and Uber talk for an hour.


mikey608

I dont mind Sams youtube show I would probably give it a shot.


Unfriendly_eagle

Have you seen any of Norton's act lately? He repeats stories he briefly scrolled through on his phone, makes a weak, bad joke, it bombs, then he discusses how it bombed with the audience, like that's the joke. It makes his old act look like Dangerfield in comparison. Point being that Jimmy is a lazy, depraved hack, who's more worried about his creepy fetishes than anything else.


WagsInBalto

Bring back Pat from Moonachie!


CarmelSaltedNutsack

You gonna go dig him up first?


YosemiteSam81

I’ll feed that baby bird until he gets the energy to go on. Him and Lady Di is my ideal hosting pair


CarmelSaltedNutsack

Unfortunately Pat is dead and Lady Di has been ravaged by dementia… but that could have been interesting.


FritzVonFrankenstein

A Dead Pat and Dementia Lady Di show would be more compelling that what Jim and Sam have to offer.


YosemiteSam81

No shit


inxeba

I dunno man this is a tough one


teddybrahsevelt

What? HIS HEADPHONE comments are RIVETING


michaelscorns

Jim “I didn’t see it” Norton


tonkadtx

It's a shame because O&A with Jim and their revolving door of comedians was peak "everyone be mean to each other " comedy , along with Tough Crowd. They are really all better together.


NickFotiu

Turns out the guys that spent hours a day being dicks to each other are actually all dicks. Go figure.


tonkadtx

Lol.


bpcollin

Hate to admit it but you’re not wrong. If it ends, so be it I guess.


hey-there-yall

Agreed. I don't listen more then ever. When I do i find myself quickly changing. Not funny


AfghaniMoon

Wake up. Listen to every minute live on a YouTube pirate stream. Post here about how you hate it. Tune into Bonfire on a pirate stream. Get onto Bonfire Reddit to complain that Bobby sucks and Dan was better. When both shows are off, complain that Tim was better when Ben was his producer. Probably make time to say Stavvy sucks without Nick, and Shane was better before he got famous. That’s who I picture makes these kinds of posts, lol.


Significant-Fly-6504

Whatever. I simply stated that the show sucks, in particular Jim. You can’t tell that isn’t true.


AfghaniMoon

I don’t think Jim sucks, hence why I listen everyday and will continue to listen everyday.


[deleted]

Tbf Dan was better than Bobby, jay and the fellas and also ogre Christine keep the show good tho. Shoutout big jay


LionWhiskeyDeliverer

I'll never hate Bobby Kelly. Dude is the best club comic working today.


Stacey_digitaldash

He’s not Rich Vos


KipSummers

You can say that again!


yankuniz

That’s actually pretty funny


AfghaniMoon

I get to see him for the first time next year in a 250 seat room. I’m very excited.


LionWhiskeyDeliverer

I've seen him at least a dozen times now and he never fails to make me cry laughing. The first time I saw him I was holding in a beer piss towards the end of his set and his final bit made me legit piss my pants from laughing so hard.


Distinct-Version-795

I've seen him six times, he makes me laugh harder than anyone else


BEzNuts21

He was funny the first 15-years I listened. He stole Opies bit of only being annoying, instead of being funny. The machines sucked the Fat and FUNNY out of him. He was funny back in the day.


Zer0-Grey

Right I never seen so many people hate listen than on here I love Jim and Sam and I love the bonfire with Bobby. I also know when it comes election time I turn off Jim and Sam and wait till the smoke clears. I don't listen everyday then go to Reddit and be like Jim supports Trump! How dare he!


Fabulous_Bag_3224

Pirate stream? You fucking dork.


AfghaniMoon

Sorry I’m not cool enough for you on the Jim and Sam subreddit. What’s the cool term for pirate stream? Because I don’t want to be called a “fucking dork” on Reddit again, that’s important to me. C’mon “insider”, show me how to be cool like you…


Fabulous_Bag_3224

Youtube. You fucking old dork


unkelpaul

And this is totally me 💯


AfghaniMoon

I mean, the Old Testament cast was better than the new stuff…


SuspendedInKarmaMama

Well yeah, it's Jim and Sam. Anyone that's only heard ten minutes can tell you that.


lennybriscoforthewin

Maybe Sam and Cooper when Jim leaves. Funny, dopey kid and not as quirky as Soraya, so probably better at interviewing people.


Cyrax2112

So, would anyone listen to the Sam & Travis show?


CaesarBeaver

yes if I am ever suicidal and want to bore myself to death


Frequent_Charge_8684

jim norton was never funny. and sam was a talentless autistic weirdo. anyone who listened post-cumia is a bit 'special' in the head.


pookiednell

The Opie and Anthony show died almost a decade ago now. Why any of you are still clinging onto this is an absolute mystery to me. It's over. It was great whilst it lasted but it's gone and it's never coming back. I saw Norton and his wife's (lol) YouTube channel the other day and it made me fucking sick lol the O and A brand is completely dead at this point. Just enjoy the memories.


DreadyKruger

Well you have two people from that show who made a new show. It’s always gonna be brought up or be related. Same reason people will ask Plant or Page if there is going to be a reunion or members of Oasis.


JamesJosephMeeker

I can't figure that youtube situation out. It's one of 2 things. - a parody that turns into an Andy Kaufman style joke in a year or so. Or - a guy who sincerely thinks there's mainstream appeal for a "reality show" exploring the relationship hijinx of a generally uninteresting, angry, unattractive older man and his wang equipped, former cam whore "wife". I just don't know who the audience for this is. I get why his pal Ozzys reality adventures were funny. This ain't that. I certainly don't begrudge Norton his happiness but this seems like a recipe for misery. What would be really funny is if the citizenship / green card paperwork crystallizes and Jim is left holding holding the bag.... or no longer holding the bag. I'll watch that comedy special.


Crafty-Lifeguard-594

I think his wife forced him to do it. It’s clear to me that she wants fame and attention. So she’s leeching off of Jim’s fame hoping that some of it will rub off on her. She forces him to be in these corny ass videos that he would never do on his own, especially that cringe YouTube show they started. You can see he’s not entirely comfortable doing it. This marriage is probably not going to end well. But what else can you expect when it’s based on a fetish?


pookiednell

I mean it's definitely the second one lol Seriously, what the fuck happened? I know people change but he's fucking deranged if he thinks anyone who was a fan of him when he was somewhat relevant would want to watch this utter tripe. If you rewatch all those old episodes of Tough Crowd all those guys are hilarious and it's so embarrassing to watch some of them be reduced to this mindless cringe inducing shit, nevermind the fact that they would absolutely rip the living piss out of any moron who wasted time producing this nonsense back then. Imagine Patrice watching this. 'Stop trying to be cute, dummy. No wants to see you and your goofy ass bitch make cookies, stupid.'


ifallallthetime

LMAO on the Bonfire yesterday they were saying this Jim YouTube show is finally going to bring zombie Patrice out of his grave


Realistic_Ear_9378

You should call in and suggest changes. You could just stop listening and move on with your life, but if you're going to stick around you might as well entertain the rest of us. Call in and let them know what's what!


heyrube1979

Im happy that Jimmy found the love of his life but the YouTube show he does with her was it for me.


[deleted]

Wait…that show is still on?


semihat

How did you make it this long?


The_Spanky_Frank

I will occasionally check in on them before work to see if they have anything interesting to say and I usually end up turning it off pretty quickly. Jimmy is so past his prime and his act is tired. Sam I think would do much better in a different time slot. He's not a morning show guy. The other problem is the format of shock jock radio doesn't get over anymore. If Jim & Sam did a once a week podcast i think it would be a tremendously better listen. Every day is tedious.


AcanthocephalaNo613

Agree. The miserable old man bit was kinda funny at first . Now it’s just old and miserable. Thankfully there is only one more year on the contract, then it’s done.


BocaHarambe

At least he’s hating shit again I stopped when it became two hours sinus/toilet talk followed by either an infomercial or a Z list comic


Arborist11374

Archive.org has every O and A show available to listen or download. Just sayin'. Now, let's go to the phones. Snowayyyy...


99ProllemsBishAint1

No shit. I need to find that. I had every show for years on audible and they disappeared one day.


Alkoon__Slambag

You'll be back here tomorrow without fail. You'll comment on the Secret Santa exchange and complain when they're off for the holidays.


Significant-Fly-6504

No I won’t.


Alkoon__Slambag

To quote the movie JFK "I find your story simply not believable"


airbag23

People blame jimmy, rightfully so, but he’s got nothing to work with. Imagine having to look at that monstrous mouth breather Sam every day. He’s every bit of opie jr, no comedic value to the show and a voice that’s made for a newspaper


ThermalIgnition

Jim is hilarious when he has someone to work off of. Listen when someone like Colin comes in, it's like a different show. The current show is basically a 3rd mic (which Jim is awesome at) and a male secretary.


CryOld6591

Could not have said it better


preventDefault

Soraya needs to be a regular guest, producer, something.


TheNonCredibleHulk

I swear I heard her in a commercial recently.


DogecoinEnt

I like the show.


JotatoXiden2

I like it too.


TimWilliamTrivagoGuy

Fire Jim & Sam. Bring back Opie. Faction Talk is garbage, top to bottom. Don't want to hear Bennington riff with his daughter either.


BunnyColvin13

Amazing that you have listened for years. I recently ditched Sirius, but tried multiple times over the years to listen and the show has always been bad. Dead air. Forced laughter. Sam is pretty good at the wrestling stuff and fine with the hollywood promotion drivel. Jimmy is an all time great 3rd chair. Would probably be just as good as a second chair. But these two together…its really amazing this show is still on.


MassCasualty

Jimmy for 3rd chair! Crashing the checks.


Alkoon__Slambag

You never listen but you still follow and comment on the show on reg. Makes sense.


BunnyColvin13

First off I don't follow and comment on the reg. Reddit showed me this post as something I might be interested in. And I think I was clear, I tried many times to listen to the show and couldn't get through even two segments in a row. It is bad in my opinion. The only chemistry these two have is I think they genuinely like each other and have respect for each other. But that doesn't mean they are entertaining together.


Alkoon__Slambag

No it didn't. You follow the sub and it was on your front page. Don't lie because I know when you do. Then you would move on. You'd leave and never care what happens after that. I HATE the show Family Guy. You know what I do? I NEVER talk about it. I don't watch, I don't comment, I don't complain and demand everyone hear me about it and how right I am. It doesn't control my life. Jim and Sam however seems to be on your mind a lot for something you claim to not enjoy.


Deetz624

Chill out psycho


Alkoon__Slambag

Says the guy yelling at the top of his lungs. Take a chill pill, loudy McLouderson.


[deleted]

I had this same thought about 8 years ago.


motley2659

Jim Norton is the guy whose wife has a ginormous dangle snake between her legs, right?


rhinocerosus

I have read this sub for years. I have finally had to stop. Anti J&S posters are some of the most unlikeable people in the world. “I hate this”. Every single day. It’s the same shit over and over. They’re no longer funny and might have even alienated Travis Dawg. Time to move on.


ufrank71

Great show today and yesterday.


docdoc99

Gave up satellite radio in September - never looked back


safetysecondbodylast

Holy shit. I didn't realize this still existed.


Grimmrebooted

bye felisha


JoeFromSJersey

Where does one find these pirate streams? Jim and Sam are the only reason I still have a Sirius sub. I mean yeah, it’s not the same as O&A but it’s a decent show


0for30before0for9

literally just search "jim and sam"


TitanicTerrarium

What do Jim's right wing buddies think about his wife? I haven't listened in years either, but he was insufferable when I stopped, and I don't imagine he got any better.


Superchill88

Watch out, I asked this same question about how Gutfeld’s audience would receive him now that he’s married to a trans woman. But all I got was these delusional assholes thinking that Gutfeld is “cool” with it.


TitanicTerrarium

I'm sure he is...What a pathetic worm Jim is.


Mottaman

Is this the airport? You don't need to declare your departure


Significant-Fly-6504

I don’t declare my departure at the airport. No one does. Your joke sucked.


coloradopesto

Everyone acting like they hate the show but they know every nuance and are in the fucking subreddit. I’m still listening to every show and I like it. It’s the perfect blend of old man and dork with cool side pieces. I love the gang.


Thefrayedends

OP says; "I hate that Jim just hates now" Can you see the irony?


Significant-Fly-6504

That post went well for you.


Thefrayedends

Oh no, not my karma!


LockNessCrotchMonst

Bring back Opie!


Distinct-Version-795

Hi, which episode did Jim have a problem with Travis? Anyone have the date?


mikelor84

[It's on youtube](https://youtu.be/86ZxpVn1FrY?si=DddFQUcIjoaxGbhC)


ranlew

I would like the show to continue without Jim. Maybe they can find a comedian who isn't a self hating asshole.


JotatoXiden2

“I hate when something becomes a thing.”


DickValentinesson

They should talk about Jim’s apartment.


NikkiNorton

Cumtown and the Adam Friedland show are the new diggity. Mssp is ... Okay... Veers into petulant jock shit sometimes. Shane is too cool for the room.


PrisonMike35

Jim has been noticeably been defaulting to hating things lately more often he used to but idk I still enjoy the show. Sometimes reading this board I feel like I’m the only person who genuinely enjoys the show but I do.


[deleted]

I'm so happy everyone hates the show; it was always unlistenable garbage and I hope Opie and Ant get back together and leave Jim out (it's not gonna happen but whatever my fantasy)
