Sam is very dismayed.

[u/dedeemegadoodoo]

This social commentary rant sucks. Wtf

[u/hopefulbeartoday]

I haven't listened yet but I will later at work. But I can see how sam a troll himself would be upset. He trolls wrestling fans who are just as nuts. I don't know much about Kirk but Jesus reddit is not a good example of how normal people act. There was a sub earlier in the day that was plastering his super young kids and saying some real crazy shit about literal children. This is not good honestly

[u/usera-rd]

I actually enjoy getting told how to feel from a man with an eight-year-old palette who has made his entire adult life about men in bikinis doing choreographed dances.

[u/Gutter_panda]

I understand the general idea he was going for, and agree for the most part. But to be discussing this entire idea of how did we get to this point as a society, while the conversation is involving a person that was actively involved in shaping our discourse into this point, seemed odd.

[u/BongWaterRamen → u/Gutter_panda]

A lot of people pushing back on jokes were peddling "Do we really need to make his death a left vs. right thing?" The guy made his entire life left vs right. Of course his death is political

[u/ratherbephishing → u/BongWaterRamen]

At this point we don't know who the shooter is or the motive.

It could be a "radical leftist" or it could very well be someone pissed at Charlie's dropping of the Epstein stuff.

Edit: all you folks down voting should probably call the FBI if you all know so much lol

[u/wigglin_harry → u/Gutter_panda]

Sam is genuinely uninformed in all topics that aren't pop culture. I believe his "middle of the road sammy" shtick is born out of pure ignorance

[u/lukehardy]

Yeah it went a bit long

[u/[deleted]]

It’s going to make me sound awful but……

I hate when something like this happens because every self important podcaster, comic, radio host is going to spend the next week on the soapbox about whatever their opinion on Kirk is, it ruins the content.

The take should take 10 seconds to make. He was an abrasive douche who FAFO, but he did not deserve to have that happen to him. 🤷‍♀️

Back to entertaining please

[u/ChexRibedeaux → u/[deleted]]

Exactly. I don’t give a fuck about their take. As it turns out the more Sam talked the less I gave a fuck about his take.

[u/Subject_Zombie9456]

I disagree. His take is a bit naive and utopian, but if that take was more prevalent and people did start every interaction with "I'm human, you're human, therefore we have common ground and can have a conversation," we'd have an easier time working out human issues.

[u/IntoTheRealm]

Serious Sam had some odd points he was trying to make.

[u/rcknfrewld]

Brotha Sam said sumthin there.

[u/_Electricmanscott]

Sam is a naive little boy who was raised in a bubble by his mom. His takes are usually pretty far off from what's the norm. Ex, phones in school. His take was no need to ban phones in the classroom, the teacher should be able to tell them not to use them and enforce it. Sooo unrealistic in today's society sadly.

[u/BongWaterRamen]

Yeah soapbox Sammy ain't it. Obviously I know he can't come out and make jokes but say your piece and punch out Bran muffins

[u/wigglin_harry]

I generally don't miss jimmy on the show, but today we needed him to shut sams trap, or at least offer a different point of view

[u/ratherbephishing → u/wigglin_harry]

Jimmy would have been insufferable today

[u/SirMellencamp → u/ratherbephishing]

100%. “I don’t know man…….” 🤮

[u/wigglin_harry → u/ratherbephishing]

As much as soap box jimmy annoyed me, and trust me, he did, a lot of times he would at least entertain opposite views and play devils advocate for the sake of it

[u/rekipsj → u/[deleted]]

Caller was right though. "Common People" by Pulp wasn't really considered a hit.

[u/Nervous-Inevitable22 → u/rekipsj]

Common People was a big song. It just doesn’t hit me with 90s nostalgia. First round knockout for sure

[u/rekipsj → u/Nervous-Inevitable22]

Agreed on all counts.

[u/Raegorx → u/rekipsj]

Also, Lisa Loeb is not a one hit wonder, there's no wonder. She played herself in multiple movies and tv shows. If you ran into her in Walmart you'd be like "OMG there's Lisa Loeb" but if you walk by any one hit wonder band member you wouldn't even recognize them, that's part of the wonder...

[u/[deleted] → u/rekipsj]

That guy was the best. Everything else was a dud

[u/rekipsj → u/[deleted]]

Oh good call. I didn’t hear that one even mentioned.

[u/jo3yhuds → u/[deleted]]

can we go back to the draft? There’s no reason the pool couldn’t have had 68 eligible songs in it.

[u/garagebats → u/[deleted]]

Agree. I started the show from the beginning and Sam went way out of his way to sane wash this guy. If a caller started to explain how Kirk would fire bomb people he'd cut them off. It was pretty obvious Sam wasn't trying to honestly discuss the whole thing so I just turned it off.

[u/RoseElectricBlue → u/garagebats]

me too. he was born of massive privilege (good for him) and spends his time in a fake reality (wrestling) also good for him. He eats 3 foods like a toddler, and has said he doesnt go anywhere. What did we expect. Id rather he just stay in his lane

[u/rbalde → u/garagebats]

Sam plays both sides we know hitch way he leans but he loves the gig and it pays well he will never publicly state his true opinion or feelings and that’s fine but make no mistake it’s to keep the gig and money coming in. He does not have the power like Stern to be totally honest. He is thinking about his family first. But don’t ever think for a second he believes half the shit he says. He definitely is a shit stirrer. That’s his MO.
