Joe Rogan Experience #2103 - Sam Morril

1. 0:00 – 0:33

   Opening banter: weed, cigars, coffee—and saving booze for later

   1. SMSam Morril0:00

      (drumming) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out. The Joe Rogan Experience.

   2. NANarrator0:06

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music)

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:12

      Smoke some weed, son?

   4. SMSam Morril0:13

      I don't really like weed.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:14

      Do you like cigars?

   6. SMSam Morril0:15

      I like alcohol and I like coffee.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:18

      Hm. You want-

   8. SMSam Morril0:18

      I'm not a big cigar guy.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:20

      Do you want, uh, alcohol?

   10. SMSam Morril0:21

       I'll have it maybe in, like, second half of the show.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:23

       Second half of the show.

   12. SMSam Morril0:24

       I like, I like to feel the caffeine.

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:25

       Let's prepare glasses with ice-

   14. SMSam Morril0:28

       (laughs)

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:28

       ... for the second half of the show when things-

   16. SMSam Morril0:30

       (laughs)

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:30

       ... once things start getting a little sideways.

   18. SMSam Morril0:32

       Yeah.

2. 0:33 – 1:45

   Life on the road: clubs vs theaters, crowd energy, and dealing with hecklers

   1. JRJoe Rogan0:33

      So what's happening, brother? How you doing?

   2. SMSam Morril0:35

      Great, great. I, uh, I've been on the road just going pretty hard with this hour, and, uh, I love it.

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:40

      Yeah.

   4. SMSam Morril0:40

      I lo- I still romanticize the road. I still love it, and I did, I did theaters last year for the first time ever, just a theater run, so that now I'm back in clubs to just tighten it, but it's-

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:49

      Mm.

   6. SMSam Morril0:50

      I love it, man.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:51

      Yeah, uh, clubs are the best. It's the best experience. Yeah, arenas are pretty nice.

   8. SMSam Morril0:57

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:57

      They're fun. In the round, they're really fun.

   10. SMSam Morril0:59

       They look fun.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:59

       Theaters are fun, but it's s- slightly removed from a club. Club is better than a theater.

   12. SMSam Morril1:06

       Yeah, it's pretty cool. I mean, theaters, I forgot how intimate clubs were just doing theaters-

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:12

       Yeah.

   14. SMSam Morril1:12

       ... last year and being like, "Oh, shit, I can see when a dude's frowning."

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:16

       (laughs)

   16. SMSam Morril1:16

       You know? I can see one person having a bad time now.

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:19

       (laughs)

   18. SMSam Morril1:19

       So that, I forgot about that, but, uh, there was a guy in Dallas over the weekend who just kept doing this to me, and I'm like, "What the fu-" And I was like, "Oh, your girlfriend's a fan." He's not-

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:28

       Oh.

   20. SMSam Morril1:28

       He doesn't like me. His girl... He was just a drunk.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:31

       Oh, wow.

   22. SMSam Morril1:31

       And I peeled out that he was drunk on rum, too, which is the fun- To me, it's, like, funny-

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:34

       That's a funny. That's a Jimmy Buffett drunk. (laughs)

   24. SMSam Morril1:36

       It's just not... You don't see a lot of white dudes with goatees who are rum drunk, so I was like, "All right." But, uh-

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:41

       He's eccentric.

   26. SMSam Morril1:42

       Yeah, he was m- He was just a... He was a bad drunk. But she was cool as hell.

3. 1:45 – 3:39

   Female audiences, bro-culture shows, and why fighting isn’t just brutality

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:45

      Well, sometimes guys have a real hard time with their girlfriend being a fan of a guy.

   2. SMSam Morril1:51

      I feel like most of the people who like me are dudes, but, uh-

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:54

      Yeah, me too.

   4. SMSam Morril1:54

      When I see women out there, I'm like, "Great."

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:56

      Yeah.

   6. SMSam Morril1:57

      I'm ha-

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:57

      Yeah, we love you ladies.

   8. SMSam Morril1:58

      When I see a table, a tabletop of four, I'm like, "Fuck yes."

   9. JRJoe Rogan2:00

      Yeah. When- whenever a lady asks me, "Are you Joe Rogan?" I'm like, "Yeah." And they're like, "I'm a fan of your podcast."

   10. SMSam Morril2:06

       (laughs)

   11. JRJoe Rogan2:06

       I'm always like, "That's crazy. Thank you."

   12. SMSam Morril2:09

       Well, the... I mean, I'm sure you have a lot of female fans. It's a big pod.

   13. JRJoe Rogan2:12

       It's the number two female podcast.

   14. SMSam Morril2:14

       Eh, what's number one?

   15. JRJoe Rogan2:15

       Uh, True Crime.

   16. SMSam Morril2:16

       That makes sense.

   17. JRJoe Rogan2:17

       Like, one of them true crime shows.

   18. SMSam Morril2:18

       Women love true crime.

   19. JRJoe Rogan2:20

       Yeah. So those women do listen to it.

   20. SMSam Morril2:22

       Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan2:22

       But it's like, you know, I'm a guy, and I'm probably annoying. (laughs)

   22. SMSam Morril2:27

       (laughs)

   23. JRJoe Rogan2:27

       I get it.

   24. SMSam Morril2:28

       I don't think of you annoying.

   25. JRJoe Rogan2:28

       I get it.

   26. SMSam Morril2:29

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan2:29

       Like, if you're a woman and you d-... I mean, this is, this is a bro-heavy show. You know, like when we do protect our parks, or when we do a fight companion, or... Yeah.

   28. SMSam Morril2:36

       The fights are definitely br- for bros.

   29. JRJoe Rogan2:38

       Yeah, and then when I have fighters on, unless it's female fighters. I've had a bunch of female fighters on, too. You know, female fighters are probably my best, uh, uh, example that I point to when people think that something horrible about fighting, that it's, like, brutality, and it's wrong, and it's barbaric. And I'll point them to some female fighters. I'm like, "Just listen to this woman talk. Like, listen to Rose Namajunas talk about fighting. And, like, listen to her post-fight speeches, when she's telling everybody that we just have to be nicer to each other."

   30. SMSam Morril3:08

       It is pretty cool to be almost, like, Buddhist and a fighter.
4. 3:39 – 8:12

   NBA vs MMA: camaraderie, ego, and the mindset of elite competition

   1. SMSam Morril3:39

      Like, I'm an insane NBA fan. I love sports. But, uh... Yeah, I mean, the, the camaraderie in that stuff, to me, is, like, what interests me also, is like, you know, growing up as a, as a '90s basketball fan, these guys fucking hated each other.

   2. JRJoe Rogan3:54

      Hm.

   3. SMSam Morril3:54

      Like, wanted to fight. Like Oakley-Rodman, they were, like, down to fight you.

   4. JRJoe Rogan3:58

      (laughs)

   5. SMSam Morril3:58

      And mind games and shit. And now they all play AAU ball together, so they're all buddies. And that... So part of it's kinda lost a little. It's weird. Like, the, the camaraderie's beautiful, and it's n-... And now the trades are so often that, like, you're gonna end up on this dude's team at some point anyway.

   6. JRJoe Rogan4:13

      Mm. Yeah. Well, I guess it's probably the best players can figure out how to always play as a team while playing their best, you know?

   7. SMSam Morril4:25

      If your ego allows you to.

   8. JRJoe Rogan4:26

      Yeah, that's the thing about-

   9. SMSam Morril4:27

      Some people are stubborn.

   10. JRJoe Rogan4:28

       Like, I'm, I'm definitely no basketball expert. But I, when I watch, like, high-performing athletics, it's... In a team sports environment, it's always this dance between what is the best thing to do to score versus what do I wanna do.

   11. SMSam Morril4:43

       Right.

   12. JRJoe Rogan4:43

       What do I wanna do since I have the ball?

   13. SMSam Morril4:45

       What's best for the team.

   14. JRJoe Rogan4:46

       Do I wanna try to show off? Do I wanna try to pull off something wild? Or do I pass? You know, like, what do I do? And then people get upset when you don't make, you know, the ladder, when you don't pass enough, right? That's, like, a big one.

   15. SMSam Morril4:59

       Yeah, if you, if you slow down, like... I mean, think about it. If you wanna simplify it to, like, kids playing in the park, if you're playing your ass off on D and you have one dude just like iso-dribbling the whole time on offense, you're like, "You're f- You're wasting our energy."

   16. JRJoe Rogan5:11

       (laughs)

   17. SMSam Morril5:11

       "You're being a dick."

   18. JRJoe Rogan5:12

       Yeah.

   19. SMSam Morril5:12

       "I don't like that." So yeah, I think-

   20. JRJoe Rogan5:13

       There's always gonna be guys like that, that just want-

   21. SMSam Morril5:15

       Yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan5:15

       ... the ball.

   23. SMSam Morril5:16

       But you have to know who you are. I mean, it's like anything else. Like-

   24. JRJoe Rogan5:19

       Yeah.

   25. SMSam Morril5:19

       ... if you know what's funny about you, you'll be a better comic, right? If you know what's, what your purpose is as a basketball player... "I'm a defender."

   26. JRJoe Rogan5:26

       Right.

   27. SMSam Morril5:26

       "I'm a three-point specialist." Knowing who you are is, is all of it, really, you know?

   28. JRJoe Rogan5:31

       It's one of the, the classic fumbles of all time is a guy who talks shit while playing basketball and then gets his ass kicked.

   29. SMSam Morril5:37

       Yeah, but it's so satisfying.

   30. JRJoe Rogan5:38

       (laughs)
5. 8:12 – 16:17

   Tiger Woods, crowd pressure, and parenting prodigies (plus the Phoenix Open madness)

   1. SMSam Morril8:12

      Well, Tiger Woods is a great example of like... It's almost like, you know who, you know, you're a kid and you learned a l-... You learn a language at, like, two years old, and you're like, "Well, that kid speaks Spanish now. It was easy for him." That's what Tiger's dad did to him-

   2. JRJoe Rogan8:22

      Right.

   3. SMSam Morril8:22

      ... with golf. It's like, oh, you just know that this is what it takes-

   4. JRJoe Rogan8:25

      Right.

   5. SMSam Morril8:26

      ... with golf. And then, of course, you need to fuck-

   6. JRJoe Rogan8:28

      Isn't it-

   7. SMSam Morril8:29

      ... 40,000 women.

   8. JRJoe Rogan8:30

      (laughs)

   9. SMSam Morril8:30

      You have to.

   10. JRJoe Rogan8:31

       You... After that childhood?

   11. SMSam Morril8:32

       Especially if you look like Tiger Woods.

   12. JRJoe Rogan8:33

       Yeah.

   13. SMSam Morril8:33

       Exa... And, and, I mean, Jesus Christ.

   14. JRJoe Rogan8:35

       Yeah, just let him have it.

   15. SMSam Morril8:35

       Let him have it.

   16. JRJoe Rogan8:36

       Yeah. It's... The whole thing's ridiculous. But also, it's like, you see in that guy the difference between what a-... Elite athleticism applied to golf can... Like, he got banged up.

   17. SMSam Morril8:48

       Yeah.

   18. JRJoe Rogan8:49

       Where you don't hear about that many golfers that go through as many surgeries. He... I know he had the one surgery for his leg, but a bunch of it's back stuff, right?

   19. SMSam Morril8:56

       Yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan8:57

       And you gotta think, that fucking torque that guy puts in that club, like w-... How many times can you do that before your back just goes, "Fuck you"?

   21. SMSam Morril9:06

       Yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan9:07

       You know? The way that guy hits a ball.

   23. SMSam Morril9:09

       And he... And he's one of those dudes where you're like... Growing up, I'd be like, "Oh, you're gonna be a fat golfer." And then you see, no, your body will probably break down. Tiger's fucking ripped.

   24. JRJoe Rogan9:17

       Yeah, he's jacked. Show me a video of him hitting, uh, a, like a long drive.

   25. NANarrator9:21

       Oh, that's... I was gonna show you this, which is kind of... It's almost more impressive. His ability to stop mid-swing.

   26. SMSam Morril9:27

       Who's shooting? This is... Is this Rear Window? Who's shooting this right here?

   27. NANarrator9:30

       Well, this is, like, on-field stuff, I think.

   28. SMSam Morril9:31

       (laughs) Oh, geez.

   29. NANarrator9:32

       But it's really h-... It's... I mean, it's...

   30. JRJoe Rogan9:35

       Why did he stop mid-swing?
6. 16:17 – 21:03

   From backyard brawls to modern MMA: Kimbo Slice, skill gaps, and evolution of the sport

   1. SMSam Morril16:17

      What about a guy like Kimbo Slice, though-

   2. JRJoe Rogan16:19

      ... who has to...

   3. SMSam Morril16:19

      ... who's like, really from nothing?

   4. JRJoe Rogan16:20

      Mm-hmm. Ugh. Uh, well, also just talented boxer.

   5. SMSam Morril16:26

      Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan16:26

      Kimbo Slice was a very... He had very good hands.

   7. SMSam Morril16:28

      Yeah.

   8. JRJoe Rogan16:28

      Like, if you watch those videos of him out in the, the back parking areas, where they would, they would fight on like, parking lots and backyards, and like, dodging satellite dishes and shit. You ever see those videos?

   9. SMSam Morril16:40

      I've seen some of his stuff, he's terrifying.

   10. JRJoe Rogan16:42

       He's a good boxer, and he was boxing people that were not good boxers.

   11. SMSam Morril16:46

       Right.

   12. JRJoe Rogan16:46

       They- they just, they just did not know how... You know, they were tough guys, but they weren't at his level, and he would just have these bare knuckle backyard fights.

   13. SMSam Morril16:55

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan16:56

       And the nicest fucking guy, too.

   15. SMSam Morril16:58

       Yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan16:58

       That's the thing about Kimbo, rest in peace, he was the nicest guy. Like, super sweet guy. Like, very friendly to everybody, took pictures with everybody. He's like, n- not like a thug.

   17. SMSam Morril17:09

       Yeah.

   18. JRJoe Rogan17:09

       Just really tough guy. And so tough, that he even entered into The Ultimate Fighter. Like, he really didn't have a backyard... Uh, I mean, he really didn't have a- a background, rather, in grappling.

   19. SMSam Morril17:20

       Yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan17:20

       He wasn't really a grappler. So he had to learn all that.

   21. SMSam Morril17:21

       And now you kind of need that, right? I mean...

   22. JRJoe Rogan17:23

       I mean, you had to, yeah.

   23. SMSam Morril17:24

       Yeah.

   24. JRJoe Rogan17:24

       He got beat up by, um, Big Country, Roy Nelson. Just took him down and got on top of him, just kept punching him in the head, and he couldn't do anything about it. He put him in a crucifix, and just didn't know how to grapple.

   25. SMSam Morril17:33

       Damn.

   26. JRJoe Rogan17:33

       Which is like, so (laughs) unfair. Like, to just... If bare knuckle boxing was around like it is now, and Kimbo was around, Kimbo would've been one of the best at bare knuckle boxing. He- he would've been... That wo- 'cause that was like, really where his skill set is, was with his hands and his toughness. Really wasn't a kicker, he really wasn't a- a grappler. He had to learn all that stuff. That didn't come natural to him.

   27. SMSam Morril17:58

       I mean, it's really like, just being around at the right time. If you're just a boxer-

   28. JRJoe Rogan18:01

       Mm-hmm.

   29. SMSam Morril18:01

       ... versus now, it's like, it's like being a silent film star, and then now they're talking.

   30. JRJoe Rogan18:06

       Right.
7. 21:03 – 28:18

   Comedy craft and burnout: living a life to have something to say

   1. SMSam Morril21:03

      It's like, it's like comedy now. You gotta do everything.

   2. JRJoe Rogan21:05

      Yeah.

   3. SMSam Morril21:05

      You can't, you can't just do standup. You can't just podcast. You can't, you know, just try to do movies. You really have to do other shit.

   4. JRJoe Rogan21:12

      You probably should, just so you don't want... You don't wanna be confined to one thing that you do, if you have options.

   5. SMSam Morril21:19

      Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan21:19

      It's just more fun to do different stuff. It's more fun to do extra stuff.

   7. SMSam Morril21:23

      It's good to challenge yourself too.

   8. JRJoe Rogan21:24

      Yeah. It's just fun. It just makes it more interesting to do different things.

   9. SMSam Morril21:29

      I mean, it's like walking a different route home every day.

   10. JRJoe Rogan21:32

       Mm-hmm.

   11. SMSam Morril21:32

       "Okay, I've walked this way home. Let's see what this route does for me." You know? It's-

   12. JRJoe Rogan21:37

       Mm-hmm.

   13. SMSam Morril21:37

       ... it's just better for your brain, I think.

   14. JRJoe Rogan21:39

       It's definitely better for your brain. I think it's just, as a comic, like, you could just get too locked into just doing standup all the time, you know?

   15. SMSam Morril21:46

       Yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan21:47

       That could-

   17. SMSam Morril21:47

       (laughs)

   18. JRJoe Rogan21:47

       ... it can kind of, kind of fuck your head up.

   19. SMSam Morril21:49

       I'm realizing I do it too much, and I'm like, in terms of the road, and it, it burns you out. You run outta shit-

   20. JRJoe Rogan21:54

       Yeah.

   21. SMSam Morril21:54

       ... to talk about.

   22. JRJoe Rogan21:55

       Yeah.

   23. SMSam Morril21:55

       'Cause it's been... You know, you work so hard to get to a place where you're always working, and then you get there-

   24. JRJoe Rogan22:00

       Mm-hmm.

   25. SMSam Morril22:00

       ... and you're like, "Oh, I gotta live a life."

   26. JRJoe Rogan22:02

       Yeah.

   27. SMSam Morril22:03

       "I have to have shit to talk about."

   28. JRJoe Rogan22:04

       Otherwise, you start faking it.

   29. SMSam Morril22:06

       Yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan22:06

       You start f- (laughs)
8. 28:18 – 36:23

   Comedy, politics, and censorship: Jon Stewart, Apple TV+, and ‘getting in trouble’

   1. SMSam Morril28:18

      He was excellent. And, uh, I think it's important to make fun of both sides. And that's ... I, I, I g- ... I s- ... It makes me sad to see people get mad at Jon Stewart right now for, for shitting on both sides. I think it's g- ... He's a comedian first, and I think it's cool to ... When you go to the clubs, they don't know exactly what you're gonna say.

   2. JRJoe Rogan28:38

      Yeah, if you're gonna have Jon Stewart back on The Daily Show, and Biden is making up words, he's gonna bring it up.

   3. SMSam Morril28:44

      He-

   4. JRJoe Rogan28:44

      He's not, he's not gonna just only fucking simp for the Democrats. He's gonna say some funny shit, about anything (laughs) that happens to Democrats too. It's funny. It's part of what the show used to be.

   5. SMSam Morril28:56

      It's weird that there's a respon- there's like a social responsibility people attribute to comedians, when it's like-

   6. JRJoe Rogan29:01

      Fuck.

   7. SMSam Morril29:01

      ... most of us got good at this by cursing at strangers in a bar.

   8. JRJoe Rogan29:05

      Yeah. I mean, we all have our political opinions, which is fine. But it's like, what Jon's capable of is delivering the news in a very funny way. He's the best at it. He's the best at that role of being like, the guy that's doing the satire of the news, you know, just b- breaking down everything that's wrong and fucking stupid in the world.

   9. SMSam Morril29:26

      He, he is the peak. And it's interesting, 'cause he is like the Animal House. He's like National Lampoon's Animal House, of ... He's like the bar, and then n- a lot ... Then everyone tries to copy Animal House, right?

   10. JRJoe Rogan29:37

       Right.

   11. SMSam Morril29:37

       Then ... And you end up with a lot of like-

   12. JRJoe Rogan29:39

       Porky's.

   13. SMSam Morril29:39

       (laughs) Porky's.

   14. JRJoe Rogan29:40

       (laughs)

   15. SMSam Morril29:40

       Van Wilder II: The Rise of Taj.

   16. JRJoe Rogan29:42

       (laughs)

   17. SMSam Morril29:43

       You're like, "All right, this isn't as good."

   18. JRJoe Rogan29:44

       Uh, uh-

   19. SMSam Morril29:45

       But Stewart, like if you actually look at his, his standup, like ... It's like any form of entertainment. To break these rules, you have to know the rules. And Stewart is a great standup.

   20. JRJoe Rogan29:55

       Yeah, he's a very funny guy.

   21. SMSam Morril29:56

       He had jokes I remember, like-

   22. JRJoe Rogan29:57

       He's a very smart guy.

   23. SMSam Morril29:57

       I remember he had a joke back in the day where it was about like, uh, how Jews and Black people are similar. 'Cause you know, Jews ... You know, Black people, we have the blues, and Jews, we just complain all the time.

   24. JRJoe Rogan30:06

       (laughs)

   25. SMSam Morril30:06

       We just never thought to put it to music. And I'm like, that's ...

   26. JRJoe Rogan30:09

       (laughs)

   27. SMSam Morril30:09

       That's the type of observation that's like, that's like unifying. That's like bringing-

   28. JRJoe Rogan30:12

       Yeah.

   29. SMSam Morril30:12

       ... a room together.

   30. JRJoe Rogan30:13

       Yes.
9. 36:23 – 45:32

   Morning-show sabotage: live TV trolling, PR fallout, and viral discomfort

   1. SMSam Morril36:23

      I, I still do morning news just to ruin the segment.

   2. JRJoe Rogan36:25

      (laughs)

   3. SMSam Morril36:25

      That's the only reason I go on.

   4. NANarrator36:27

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan36:27

      (laughs)

   6. SMSam Morril36:27

      I do it all the time.

   7. NANarrator36:28

      You did a good one in Columbus.

   8. JRJoe Rogan36:29

      (laughs)

   9. SMSam Morril36:29

      Did you see that one?

   10. NANarrator36:30

       Yeah, it's from, from... I've done this one.

   11. SMSam Morril36:31

       That was, that was one-

   12. JRJoe Rogan36:32

       What'd you do? (laughs)

   13. SMSam Morril36:33

       I, I can send it to you. It's pretty funny. I, I-

   14. NANarrator36:35

       I'll find it. I'll find it.

   15. SMSam Morril36:35

       Yeah, it's... I, I think I have it here. It's, it's, uh...... it's probably on my Instagram or something. It's, uh... I just kept making up that they had a human trafficking problem in Columbus, and the guy lost it on me. 'Cause I, I'll only do those news segments if they're live, 'cause there's no point in doing a taped one. They'll just edit out whatever horrible thing I do. But, you know, sometimes you get someone really cool and you'll just riff with them and be silly. But this dude, I could tell... I'll, like, I'll throw, like, a jab to see if it bothers them. And if I can sense it bothers them, I'll go, like, 100 miles an hour and just derail the segment.

   16. JRJoe Rogan37:07

       (laughs)

   17. SMSam Morril37:07

       I got, I got... I remember, I have a pub- I have a publicist, Pam, who hates me. She, I just am like, "I don't care about morning radio, just book me on morning shows," 'cause... And she's like, "They're onto you. They know you're gonna ruin the segment."

   18. JRJoe Rogan37:17

       No!

   19. SMSam Morril37:17

       But Pam, uh, she gets so mad at me, but I-

   20. JRJoe Rogan37:20

       But do you ever go on one and the people are cool and you don't ruin the segment?

   21. SMSam Morril37:23

       Yeah, totally. But they usually end up... Sometimes they think it's funny. But other times... Yeah, I did one, we were on a tour bus last year and I pretended my opener, Gary Vayner overdosed on cocaine on the bus.

   22. JRJoe Rogan37:35

       Oh my God.

   23. SMSam Morril37:35

       And they were so mad at me. And, uh, and she called me, like, "You're banned from Good Morning Durham."

   24. JRJoe Rogan37:41

       (laughs)

   25. SMSam Morril37:41

       And I was like, "I'll live."

   26. JRJoe Rogan37:43

       (laughs)

   27. SMSam Morril37:43

       Uh, but (laughs) but, uh... We've done a lot where I just, I, I, I poke, and I see what I can get away with.

   28. JRJoe Rogan37:51

       How many people are watching those shows?

   29. SMSam Morril37:53

       Not a lot. But when I share them, they do pretty well, 'cause they're-

   30. JRJoe Rogan37:56

       It s-
10. 45:32 – 55:23

    Food obsession on the road: diners, pizza culture, and New York’s old institutions

    1. JRJoe Rogan45:32

       The thing is that the number one attractor is always going to be like the TikTok and the Instagram, Instagram Reels. Those are the ones that they-

    2. SMSam Morril45:40

       Suck you in.

    3. JRJoe Rogan45:41

       They suck you in.

    4. SMSam Morril45:41

       Ugh.

    5. JRJoe Rogan45:42

       They work with the human mind.

    6. SMSam Morril45:43

       It drives me crazy. Are... Do you get addicted to it?

    7. JRJoe Rogan45:45

       They're so effective.

    8. SMSam Morril45:46

       I mean, the food-

    9. JRJoe Rogan45:47

       Instagram Reels are so effective.

    10. SMSam Morril45:48

        The food ones for me fucking ruin my day.

    11. JRJoe Rogan45:50

        Oh, those are good.

    12. SMSam Morril45:51

        It's just some fucking asshole in his car-

    13. JRJoe Rogan45:53

        Yeah.

    14. SMSam Morril45:53

        ... eating like a sandwich. I'm just watching a dude eat a sandwich.

    15. JRJoe Rogan45:55

        Yeah.

    16. SMSam Morril45:55

        You break it down, you're like, "This is so sad."

    17. JRJoe Rogan45:57

        Sexy.

    18. SMSam Morril45:57

        Then I'm watching... It is sexy.

    19. JRJoe Rogan45:59

        Sexy. (laughs)

    20. SMSam Morril45:59

        And he rapes the sandwich. I'm like, "Good enough for me." And then they send me 40 more of the... Everyone's a food critic now.

    21. JRJoe Rogan46:05

        That's fine.

    22. SMSam Morril46:06

        Yeah.

    23. JRJoe Rogan46:06

        It's fine. I mean, people will find their way.

    24. SMSam Morril46:09

        They find their way.

    25. JRJoe Rogan46:09

        Yeah, but it's just, uh, a- the addictive nature of scrolling.

    26. SMSam Morril46:12

        I'm more mad at myself, honestly. I'm more mad that that's my, my, uh-

    27. JRJoe Rogan46:16

        The food thing, the algorithm?

    28. SMSam Morril46:16

        ... my For You page. Yeah, I'm more...

    29. JRJoe Rogan46:18

        (laughs)

    30. SMSam Morril46:18

        It's, it's mostly food.
11. 55:23 – 1:00:00

    Mob movies and peak TV: Sopranos, Gandolfini, and why we glamorize criminals

    1. SMSam Morril55:23

       We glamorize that shit, though. We all-

    2. JRJoe Rogan55:25

       Mm-hmm.

    3. SMSam Morril55:25

       Like, dude, 'cause mob movies are the best movies. I mean, like, you got Godfather, Goodfellas, you got-

    4. JRJoe Rogan55:31

       Sopranos.

    5. SMSam Morril55:31

       Sopranos.

    6. JRJoe Rogan55:31

       One of the best shows of all time.

    7. SMSam Morril55:32

       Probably my number one, honestly.

    8. JRJoe Rogan55:33

       God, it's good. Goddamn, it's good. I re- I rewatched an episode the other day. I'm like, "Goddamn."

    9. SMSam Morril55:38

       It's so ... It might be one of the funniest shows ever too.

    10. JRJoe Rogan55:40

        (laughs)

    11. SMSam Morril55:40

        That's how good it is.

    12. JRJoe Rogan55:41

        It's a great show.

    13. SMSam Morril55:41

        It's fucking ... There's, there's a line in that show-

    14. JRJoe Rogan55:43

        (clears throat)

    15. SMSam Morril55:43

        ... where, like, uh, you know, Meadow's being a spoiled brat and they're like, "We're gonna ground you. You can't do this." And she, she just runs away and, and Carmela's like, "What are they gonna d- What, what do we do when we realize that we have no power?" (laughs)

    16. JRJoe Rogan55:55

        (laughs)

    17. SMSam Morril55:55

        It's like such an honest, funny line.

    18. JRJoe Rogan55:58

        Yeah.

    19. SMSam Morril55:58

        I mean, Tony, fuck, and Gandolfini. We were, like, robbed of so many more good Gandolfini projects.

    20. JRJoe Rogan56:03

        God, he was good.

    21. SMSam Morril56:04

        He's the fucking best.

    22. JRJoe Rogan56:05

        He was so good. He became that guy.

    23. SMSam Morril56:08

        Yeah.

    24. JRJoe Rogan56:08

        Like, he did a lot of different characters in different movies and he was really good at being a creep. Wasn't he in ... What was that-

    25. SMSam Morril56:17

        True Romance?

    26. JRJoe Rogan56:17

        True Romance. Yeah.

    27. SMSam Morril56:18

        So scary-

    28. JRJoe Rogan56:19

        That's right.

    29. SMSam Morril56:19

        ... in that movie.

    30. JRJoe Rogan56:20

        Holy shit.
12. 1:00:00 – 1:09:06

    Where did comedy movies go? Daily Wire attempts, old classics, and Rodney Dangerfield worship

    1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

       Yeah. Comedy movies took the biggest hit.

    2. SMSam Morril1:00:03

       Recently, I mean. (laughs)

    3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:05

       (laughs) We took the biggest hit.

    4. SMSam Morril1:00:06

       Isn't it crazy? (clears throat) I, I-

    5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:09

       Everybody loves them, but now you have to rewatch old ones so people don't get offended.

    6. SMSam Morril1:00:13

       I think it'll come back at some point. 'Cause I was watching The Hangover on TV the other day and I was like, "People are gonna be hungry for this shit."

    7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:21

       Well, what's hilarious is that Daily Wire tried to do something, right?

    8. SMSam Morril1:00:24

       Yeah.

    9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:25

       They did something, right? They made a movie, right? (clears throat) They made a movie about transgender athletes.

    10. SMSam Morril1:00:30

        Mm-hmm.

    11. JRJoe Rogan1:00:30

        And a bunch of men who decide they're gonna compete as women. And then after that, there's a new thing (laughs) that's been happening in Canada, where they've got this, this, these two teams are playing against each other. And there's five biological males-... that are identifying as females and dominating this volleyball game.

    12. SMSam Morril1:00:55

        (laughs)

    13. JRJoe Rogan1:00:55

        And the biological females, all of them are sitting on deck while these five men-

    14. SMSam Morril1:01:02

        They don't know why they're riding the bench?

    15. JRJoe Rogan1:01:03

        ... are crushing it.

    16. SMSam Morril1:01:04

        Yeah. (laughs)

    17. JRJoe Rogan1:01:05

        There's five of 'em.

    18. SMSam Morril1:01:07

        Yeah.

    19. JRJoe Rogan1:01:07

        Like, this isn't Canada. Like, that is so insane.

    20. SMSam Morril1:01:12

        You know what the thing is about those movies, though? I didn't s- I saw the trailer for The Daily Wire thing. I didn't see it, but the thing about those movies is, and I didn't see this one, you gotta remember, if you're going that irreverent to have the heart of, like, a Farrelly Brothers movie.

    21. JRJoe Rogan1:01:24

        Right.

    22. SMSam Morril1:01:24

        'Cause, like, Something About Mary is a great movie because, like, you forget he's stalking this woman 'cause he's so likable.

    23. JRJoe Rogan1:01:30

        (laughs) Right.

    24. SMSam Morril1:01:31

        He's stalking Mary.

    25. JRJoe Rogan1:01:32

        Right.

    26. SMSam Morril1:01:32

        He hires a guy to stalk her, but in the first scene, she's got a mentally challenged brother and he gets his ass kicked prese- uh, protecting her, and you're like, "He's a good guy." So I think go for the fucking jugular, but make sure that you love the characters.

    27. JRJoe Rogan1:01:44

        Yeah. And also, there's not a lot of really good... Like, how many people are really good at making those kind of movies? You know, there's a few people that, like, excel-

    28. SMSam Morril1:01:57

        Well, Todd Phillips went to serious movies, right? You know, so he was, like, one of the last ones making, like, big hits.

    29. JRJoe Rogan1:02:03

        But if you- if that genre dries up, like that used to be a giant genre. Like-

    30. SMSam Morril1:02:09

        It bums me out, dude. I love comedy movies, but you're right. Like, what do I watch? I watch fucking Back to School.
