So Opie and Anthony have a TV Tropes Page

[Stent]

Really Gets Around: Both Anthony and Jimmy have an impressive list of conquests. Opie, on the other hand, is happily married.

Sam's original bits were like "What's the Happs?!", "Backstage with O&A", "Primetime Gossip", and his awful gay radio show on Hits1 or whatever. Or characters like AJ Poopieshitz. They would bring Sam in for WWE news or to mess with him but that was about it. Sam had no personality and could not hold a conversation with the guests on an adult level because he was a moron who ate TV dinners and collected wrestling dolls.

Sam is really the last 'man' standing. He waited for Anthony to get fired. Waited for Opie to get fired. And with those two gone most of the producers left Sirius. If Jim had not stayed on Sirius for the paycheck then Sam would never have gotten a job hosting his own talk show on Sirius. He basically only got to be on a show because he inherited a timeslot that had legacy listeners of O&A (that are likely all gone now).

Right but again, this isn't me arguing he was a master manipulator, brilliant content generator, just that the rest of the staff knew he would go back after them if they attempted to dunk on them and he'd usually always come out on top of them.

How many of them still work in raqio? And why is he still on top. They were passive, he was aggressive. That's the point. Nagel and Carlesi took it, Sam gave back. Whether you thought he gave back was shit isn't really the point, he would come back and the more oafish members of the staff wouldn't.

None of them went after Danny, either, and for the same reason. That doesn't mean his histrionic temper tantrums made him better, just that the tantrums and tattling in and of themselves effectively made him off limits.
