      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.

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:33

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

   20. 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.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:40

       Yeah.

   22. 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-

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:49

       Mm.

   24. SMSam Morril0:50

       I love it, man.

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:51

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

   26. SMSam Morril0:57

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan0:57

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

   28. SMSam Morril0:59

       They look fun.

   29. JRJoe Rogan0:59

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

   30. SMSam Morril1:06

       Yeah, it's pretty cool. I mean, theaters, I forgot how intimate clubs were just doing theaters-
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   The hungry guy. …

   1. SMSam Morril15:01

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:01

      The hungry guy.

   3. SMSam Morril15:02

      Tu... I agree.

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:02

      Hungry guy with good genetics wins every time.

   5. SMSam Morril15:05

      Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan15:06

      (laughs)

   7. SMSam Morril15:07

      'Cause he needs it.

   8. JRJoe Rogan15:08

      Yeah. It's a different mindset. So it... It's gotta be very difficult to engage in something like combat sports or pro football. I'm not saying it's not possible, but it's gotta be very difficult to do that if you come from a really comfortable environment.

   9. SMSam Morril15:23

      Yeah.

   10. JRJoe Rogan15:23

       You know? Because you're just not gonna have that certain level of anger necessary to get the job done.

   11. SMSam Morril15:30

       And then in- in a combat sport, as- as you said, you need to shut that anger off at some point.

   12. JRJoe Rogan15:33

       Mm-hmm.

   13. SMSam Morril15:33

       And that's got to... Same with football. It's a, it's a violent game, man.

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:36

       Yeah.

   15. SMSam Morril15:36

       Watching the Super Bowl, how many people on the 49ers... I was like, "This is like fucking war."

   16. JRJoe Rogan15:41

       Yeah.

   17. SMSam Morril15:41

       The people were just carried off on stretchers. I- it felt like I was watching M*A*S*H, you know? It was like-

   18. JRJoe Rogan15:46

       Yes.

   19. SMSam Morril15:46

       It was rough.

   20. JRJoe Rogan15:48

       You do- you don't see a lot of rich people's sons going into that line of work.

   21. SMSam Morril15:52

       Well, Bill Laimbeer on the Bad Boy Pistons came from privilege, but then Isaiah Thomas, he's their general, and he came from the worst fucking part of Chicago.

   22. JRJoe Rogan16:00

       Hmm. Yeah.

   23. SMSam Morril16:02

       But that's kind of an interesting blend, you know?

   24. JRJoe Rogan16:04

       Yeah, it kind of is. I mean, I could see how they could compete in some sports, but i- in combat sports? Like, urr. The- the people that come from nothing have like, an extra gear. They just have an extra gear. Like-

   25. SMSam Morril16:17

       What about a guy like Kimbo Slice, though-

   26. JRJoe Rogan16:19

       ... who has to...

   27. SMSam Morril16:19

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

   28. JRJoe Rogan16:20

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

   29. SMSam Morril16:26

       Yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan16:26

       Kimbo Slice was a very... He had very good hands.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   (laughs) …

   1. SMSam Morril30:00

      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.

   2. JRJoe Rogan30:06

      (laughs)

   3. SMSam Morril30:06

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

   4. JRJoe Rogan30:09

      (laughs)

   5. SMSam Morril30:09

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

   6. JRJoe Rogan30:12

      Yeah.

   7. SMSam Morril30:12

      ... a room together.

   8. JRJoe Rogan30:13

      Yes.

   9. SMSam Morril30:14

      I love that.

   10. JRJoe Rogan30:15

       It's a very funny bit too.

   11. SMSam Morril30:17

       Yeah, he had, he had, uh, a great special in the '90s called Unleavened. I remember it. It was on Comedy Central all the time.

   12. JRJoe Rogan30:23

       Yeah. So he's back, like, on The Daily Show sometimes. Is that what it is?

   13. SMSam Morril30:27

       Mondays.

   14. JRJoe Rogan30:27

       Mondays.

   15. SMSam Morril30:28

       (laughs) He goes, "I'll give you one day."

   16. JRJoe Rogan30:30

       That's a good move for him.

   17. SMSam Morril30:31

       Yeah.

   18. JRJoe Rogan30:31

       Yeah. Why, why do it? I guess he had a deal with Apple and, um, I don't know if they're saying the specifics of why they canceled the show. But it was something akin to, they didn't want him to say anything that would get them in trouble. Something along those lines. I forget what his quote was.

   19. SMSam Morril30:51

       I don't know, maybe about China and they're like, "Hey, we make a lot of shit over there."

   20. JRJoe Rogan30:54

       Here it is.

   21. SMSam Morril30:55

       Yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan30:55

       Here it is. Um, Apple, g- Jon Stewart says, "Apple TV canceled his show because they didn't want me to say things that might get me in trouble."

   23. SMSam Morril31:04

       (laughs)

   24. JRJoe Rogan31:05

       Okay.

   25. SMSam Morril31:05

       Damn.

   26. JRJoe Rogan31:09

       Boy, kids, what kind of world are we talking when Apple...

   27. SMSam Morril31:12

       And by the way, that's like, that's like what comics... That's what gets us excited. The idea that this could get me in trouble. Like, that, that's everything.

   28. JRJoe Rogan31:20

       Also, Apple, by the way, you distribute all the apps (laughs) that do all the trouble, that, that's getting everybody-

   29. SMSam Morril31:30

       And they take a percentage too.

   30. JRJoe Rogan31:30

       ... in trouble-
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Yeah. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      you know, you know, Graham Hancock-type character talking about the, the people that constructed these things in Turkey and shit. Like, you would never do that, right?

   2. SMSam Morril45:09

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:09

      I- in the normal world. But you could get locked into some... A conversation. And if it's a three-hour conversation, like, you come out of that much more energized with whatever that subject is.

   4. SMSam Morril45:24

      It's... Not only is that true, but also I think the fact that people can listen to stuff while they're, like, cleaning the house and stuff.

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:30

      100% yeah.

   6. SMSam Morril45:30

      I mean, you can't do that with a movie, right?

   7. 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-

   8. SMSam Morril45:40

      Suck you in.

   9. JRJoe Rogan45:41

      They suck you in.

   10. SMSam Morril45:41

       Ugh.

   11. JRJoe Rogan45:42

       They work with the human mind.

   12. SMSam Morril45:43

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

   13. JRJoe Rogan45:45

       They're so effective.

   14. SMSam Morril45:46

       I mean, the food-

   15. JRJoe Rogan45:47

       Instagram Reels are so effective.

   16. SMSam Morril45:48

       The food ones for me fucking ruin my day.

   17. JRJoe Rogan45:50

       Oh, those are good.

   18. SMSam Morril45:51

       It's just some fucking asshole in his car-

   19. JRJoe Rogan45:53

       Yeah.

   20. SMSam Morril45:53

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

   21. JRJoe Rogan45:55

       Yeah.

   22. SMSam Morril45:55

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

   23. JRJoe Rogan45:57

       Sexy.

   24. SMSam Morril45:57

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

   25. JRJoe Rogan45:59

       Sexy. (laughs)

   26. 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.

   27. JRJoe Rogan46:05

       That's fine.

   28. SMSam Morril46:06

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan46:06

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

   30. SMSam Morril46:09

       They find their way.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:07:00

   Yeah. Comedy movies took…

   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.
