   1. JRJoe Rogan0:00

      (drum roll) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.

   2. NANarrator0:04

      The Joe Rogan Experience. Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:09

      (instrumental music) Cheers.

   4. SMSam Morril0:13

      Cheers.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:13

      Cigarette? Take this serious.

   6. SMSam Morril0:16

      Awesome to be at the club last night.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:17

      (clears throat) Yeah, it was fun having you. Last night was fun. It was a good night.

   8. SMSam Morril0:20

      Really fun.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:21

      Yeah, it's a fun place, man.

   10. SMSam Morril0:23

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:23

       A little Disneyland. (laughs)

   12. SMSam Morril0:24

       Yeah. It also is like a throwback. I'm like, I, I left Kill Tony on Monday, I was like, "I haven't had my shirt smell like cigarettes in a while."

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:31

       Yeah, all those guys in the green room were smoking cigarettes. It's-

   14. SMSam Morril0:33

       I'd had one. I don't smoke.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:34

       (laughs) It's so fucking contagious.

   16. SMSam Morril0:35

       But I was like, I was like, I was like, "Fu- I'll have one, what the hell?"

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:37

       What the hell? What the hell room.

   18. SMSam Morril0:41

       Yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:41

       This is a... I mean, it's one of those things, like, you create something with, like, this intention, and you kind of hope that it'll work out good.

   20. SMSam Morril0:50

       Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:50

       But that place almost sort of made itself into what it is. It's like, it's got a energy to it. I think that it's also 'cause of that building. That building was made in 1927, and, and everybody's performed there. Willie Nelson performed there, Stevie Ray Vaughan. Like, you look in the wall, Black Flag, all the walls inside the green room, all those posters?

   22. SMSam Morril1:10

       Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:10

       Those are all bands. Misfits, all bands that performed there.

   24. SMSam Morril1:12

       Wow.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:13

       'Cause it was a rock club for a long time, and then it, it wo-

   26. SMSam Morril1:16

       The whole thing was like a... But it's a big venue, though.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:19

       I don't know if it was two different rooms. I think at one point in time it was just one room.

   28. SMSam Morril1:24

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:24

       And then I think with the Alamo Drafthouse they turned it into two rooms. Then it was a movie theater for, like, 10 years. And then, uh, when they went under, we had the two rooms, then we just adjusted everything and changed a lot of stuff and turned it into a comedy club.

   30. SMSam Morril1:37

       Yeah, it's cool as fuck.
2. 2:21 – 4:32

   Sam’s “city hick” confession: terrible driving and failing the road-gig test

   1. SMSam Morril2:21

      I can't drive.

   2. JRJoe Rogan2:22

      You don't drive?

   3. SMSam Morril2:23

      I, I have a license, but I'm dog shit. It hurt me as a young comic, because Joe List would always shit on me, 'cause we did a road gig, like, I wanna say like almost 15 years ago together, where I got us the gig, it was co-headlining, but it was a casino run, and the thing was, like, you have to split the driving. It was, like, 30 hours of driving total, so he's like, "Can you split the driving with me?" I said, "Of course." And we got... I already fucked up, 'cause, like, we flew into the wrong city on the wrong day 'cause of me. I was such a fucking young idiot.

   4. JRJoe Rogan2:50

      (laughs)

   5. SMSam Morril2:51

      So, so we flew into, like, Michigan, and were supposed to start in Wisconsin, and he was like, "You fu- so we're prorated?" I was like, "I fuck this, we're prorated." And then he was already mad at me, and then he's like, "All right, it's your turn to drive." And I started driving, and he was like, "What the fuck is happening? This is horrible."

   6. JRJoe Rogan3:04

      (laughs)

   7. SMSam Morril3:04

      And, and he always quotes me as saying, like, "No, I'm not a bad driver, I just can't turn well." And he was like, "Yeah, that's a bad driver, you fucking idiot."

   8. JRJoe Rogan3:13

      (laughs)

   9. SMSam Morril3:13

      So he tells this story about me all the time being, like, like a city... He calls me a city hick. That's like how he started calling me that. But I, yeah, I can't really... I have a license, I passed the test, but I'm, I'm dog shit.

   10. JRJoe Rogan3:22

       It's not that hard though.

   11. SMSam Morril3:24

       I know I'm that bad. I don't know why I'm that bad at it. I-

   12. JRJoe Rogan3:26

       That's so weird. You're so smart.

   13. SMSam Morril3:29

       (laughs)

   14. JRJoe Rogan3:29

       I would imagine you-

   15. SMSam Morril3:29

       I'm not that sm-

   16. JRJoe Rogan3:30

       But you're smart to talk to.

   17. SMSam Morril3:31

       Oh, thank you. I, I'm a bad driver.

   18. JRJoe Rogan3:33

       You're good socially.

   19. SMSam Morril3:34

       Thank you, man. You too.

   20. JRJoe Rogan3:35

       So I would imagine... Thank you.

   21. SMSam Morril3:36

       You're easy to talk to.

   22. JRJoe Rogan3:37

       So I would imagine you'd fucking be able to negotiate the distances between vehicles and turn the wheel.

   23. SMSam Morril3:42

       I, I bullshit my way through a license. I did, I failed two tests in New York, they were in the Bronx, and then I got a driver who I made her laugh out of the gate, and I was like, "I'm in." Like, I knew-

   24. JRJoe Rogan3:51

       Ugh.

   25. SMSam Morril3:51

       I just said, like, "I suck at this. I failed two, please don't fail me."

   26. JRJoe Rogan3:54

       (laughs)

   27. SMSam Morril3:54

       And she laughed, and I was like, "I'm in. I'm gonna..." And I hit something, and she passed me.

   28. JRJoe Rogan3:58

       Wow. What'd you hit?

   29. SMSam Morril3:59

       Not a ve- I don't remember, it was some, like, it was a cone or something. It was like-

   30. JRJoe Rogan4:03

       Oh, okay, something minor.
3. 4:32 – 6:49

   Civil-war hypotheticals to Texas-as-a-fortress (and being “useful” as the funny guy)

   1. SMSam Morril4:32

      Yeah, if there's a, if there's a civil war-

   2. JRJoe Rogan4:34

      Yeah.

   3. SMSam Morril4:34

      ... it's gonna be hard to hail a cab.

   4. JRJoe Rogan4:36

      Yeah. If there's a civil war, where you gonna go?

   5. SMSam Morril4:39

      I think I'm gonna cave pretty early.

   6. JRJoe Rogan4:41

      Are you?

   7. SMSam Morril4:41

      No, I don't know. I don't know what I'll do.

   8. JRJoe Rogan4:43

      Come here.

   9. SMSam Morril4:44

      Really?

   10. JRJoe Rogan4:44

       Mm-hmm. Yeah.

   11. SMSam Morril4:45

       I'm welcome here?

   12. JRJoe Rogan4:46

       Yeah.

   13. SMSam Morril4:47

       All right.

   14. JRJoe Rogan4:47

       Yeah, for sure. And if it goes sideways, you wanna be in Texas.

   15. SMSam Morril4:53

       (laughs)

   16. JRJoe Rogan4:54

       'Cause this place is already ready to be its own country.

   17. SMSam Morril4:56

       But what, but why do you guys want me? What do I bring to the table?

   18. JRJoe Rogan4:58

       You're funny.

   19. SMSam Morril4:58

       All right.

   20. JRJoe Rogan4:59

       That's all we need.

   21. SMSam Morril4:59

       I'll take it.

   22. JRJoe Rogan5:00

       Good guy.

   23. SMSam Morril5:00

       (laughs)

   24. JRJoe Rogan5:00

       Good guy, funny. Good to hang with. That's all we need.

   25. SMSam Morril5:03

       I have one bad set, though. They're gonna, there's gonna be a talk later.

   26. JRJoe Rogan5:05

       Nah, nah.

   27. SMSam Morril5:05

       "You gotta cut this guy."

   28. JRJoe Rogan5:06

       Nah, we've seen too many good sets. I'm not buying it.

   29. SMSam Morril5:09

       (laughs)

   30. JRJoe Rogan5:09

       One bad set, you just need a pep talk. That's like Theo Vaughn. (laughs)
4. 6:49 – 12:27

   Trump assassination attempt: security failures, missing details, and conspiracy gravity

   1. JRJoe Rogan6:49

      The Trump thing, the shooter, the all the stuff that's coming out about the shooter now-

   2. SMSam Morril6:53

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan6:53

      ... the more you read about it, the more you're like, "What is going on?"

   4. SMSam Morril6:57

      Yeah. It's like a BlackRock thing too, right?

   5. JRJoe Rogan6:58

      Yeah.

   6. SMSam Morril6:59

      Yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan6:59

      He did a BlackRock commercial. They knew that there was a suspicious person 10 minutes before Trump went on stage. They still wouldn't let him go on stage. They saw him on the fucking roof and they didn't engage.

   8. SMSam Morril7:10

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan7:10

      They saw him on the roof with a rifle, but they didn't engage.

   10. SMSam Morril7:12

       It's the bad Secret Service right there.

   11. JRJoe Rogan7:14

       They wouldn't put Secret Service agents on the roof 'cause they said there was a slope to the roof.

   12. SMSam Morril7:19

       Right.

   13. JRJoe Rogan7:19

       And it would be dangerous.

   14. SMSam Morril7:20

       It's more dangerous if the president, next president gets shot.

   15. JRJoe Rogan7:23

       Bro.

   16. SMSam Morril7:24

       Which he did.

   17. JRJoe Rogan7:24

       They let him get off. The kid got off three shots. And apparently, the, there was one that we saw that hit his ear and you see the bullet, like, the photographer got a bullet-

   18. SMSam Morril7:33

       I saw that.

   19. JRJoe Rogan7:34

       ... flying by his head.

   20. SMSam Morril7:35

       Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan7:35

       But apparently, there's another one of a bullet going by his left side of his head. So it went by the right side of his head, hit his ear, and went by the left side of his head as well. 'Cause the guy got off three shots.

   22. SMSam Morril7:45

       Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan7:45

       And he just missed Trump every time.

   24. SMSam Morril7:47

       And there's a, there was the one shot of him, like, turning his head, and I'm like-

   25. JRJoe Rogan7:49

       Yeah.

   26. SMSam Morril7:49

       ... "Are you fucking kidding me? It was that close?"

   27. JRJoe Rogan7:51

       Dude, it's so crazy.

   28. SMSam Morril7:52

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan7:53

       It's so crazy. And the fact that they had such poor security guarding him, like they did such a terrible job.

   30. SMSam Morril8:01

       My uncle's convinced-
5. 12:27 – 14:49

   From JFK to MKUltra: how intelligence ops shape public distrust

   1. JRJoe Rogan12:27

      They're real. I mean, whatever the fuck happened in Dallas, Texas in 1963, it's not what they tell you.

   2. SMSam Morril12:35

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan12:35

      That's one thing, 100%-

   4. SMSam Morril12:36

      Of course.

   5. JRJoe Rogan12:36

      ... you're gonna be sure. That is, there is no objective journalism with no slant, not leaving anything out. Whatever happened with Lee Harvey Oswald and the- the motorcade.

   6. SMSam Morril12:46

      And Kennedy and having some beef with the CIA, and some weird shit over maybe Bay of Pigs or something, right? Like, they immediately-

   7. JRJoe Rogan12:53

      How about Allen Dulles, who he fires-

   8. SMSam Morril12:56

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan12:56

      He fires, and then he gets assassinated, and Allen Dulles is running the Warren Commission? He's a part of the Warren Commission?

   10. SMSam Morril13:03

       It's- it's shady. So much Kennedy shit over the years is so shady.

   11. JRJoe Rogan13:08

       The shadiest.

   12. SMSam Morril13:09

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan13:10

       The shadiest. That- the- he's the biggest indicator, the biggest piece of evidence that someone from somewhere organized together to kill that guy.

   14. SMSam Morril13:19

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan13:19

       It wasn't just Lee Harvey Oswald. Although I'm of the opinion that Lee Harvey Oswald was also a part of it.

   16. SMSam Morril13:25

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan13:25

       'Cause everybody wants it to be binary, right? They want it to be one or zero, yes or no. Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, or he was just a patsy. But that guy clearly was also doing something with intelligence agencies, 'cause he was able to go back and forth to Russia. He learned Russian, he married a Russian woman.

   18. SMSam Morril13:44

       Yes.

   19. JRJoe Rogan13:44

       Came back to America, and then-

   20. SMSam Morril13:46

       He was also living very well when he was over there.

   21. JRJoe Rogan13:49

       Mm-hmm.

   22. SMSam Morril13:49

       He was spending money that, like, you're not making this on whatever per diem horseshit you're making over there.

   23. JRJoe Rogan13:55

       Exactly.

   24. SMSam Morril13:55

       Like, he was, like, going to nightclubs and shit.

   25. JRJoe Rogan13:57

       Yeah. Yeah. The whole story sucks.

   26. SMSam Morril14:00

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan14:01

       The whole story seems like he was some sort of undercover operative.

   28. SMSam Morril14:03

       Like he was getting paid out.

   29. JRJoe Rogan14:05

       Yeah. And then I think that's how they do it. They make you think you're a part of something, and then they pin the whole thing on you. And then, you know, I think there's probably multiple shooters. I think there's probably mult- uh, the grassy knoll thing seems super legitimate. Also, have you ever looked into how many people who were witnesses that wound up dying in mysterious manners?

   30. SMSam Morril14:23

       Yeah.
6. 14:49 – 16:31

   Putin, power, and “off-book” medicine—plus Rogan’s Regenexx neck detour

   1. JRJoe Rogan14:49

      Yeah. Oh, Putin had the most fucked up rise to power.

   2. SMSam Morril14:51

      That woman who just wrote the book on him, Masha what's-her-name, you know?

   3. JRJoe Rogan14:55

      Did she wind up missing?

   4. SMSam Morril14:56

      She's, I think, either on trial or going to prison for saying something anti-military in Russia, which I'm like, "Whoops."

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:02

      All right.

   6. SMSam Morril15:02

      May- you know what? Know your audience.

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:04

      Yeah.

   8. SMSam Morril15:04

      Maybe don't say that (laughs) in Russia.

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:06

      She wrote a book on Putin?

   10. SMSam Morril15:07

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:07

       What a gangster she is.

   12. SMSam Morril15:08

       It's- it's pretty badass.

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:09

       That's a crazy move, man-

   14. SMSam Morril15:11

       It's-

   15. JRJoe Rogan15:11

       ... to know they're gonna come get you, and you write that book anyway?

   16. SMSam Morril15:13

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan15:13

       Woo.

   18. SMSam Morril15:14

       Yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan15:15

       That guy might be the richest man alive, you know?

   20. SMSam Morril15:17

       He's really rich.

   21. JRJoe Rogan15:18

       They don't know how rich he is.

   22. SMSam Morril15:18

       His- his place is crazy. I always hear that- there are always rumors that he's not doing well, and then nothing, but-

   23. JRJoe Rogan15:24

       Well-

   24. SMSam Morril15:24

       There's always stomach problems. Didn't he have, like, a stomach cancer?

   25. JRJoe Rogan15:27

       Th- that's all rumors, right?

   26. SMSam Morril15:28

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan15:28

       But also, how much access to medicine does that guy have, you know? I mean, if there's a way to cure something, that guy, they're gonna get it to him.

   28. SMSam Morril15:36

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan15:36

       And you have to think that Russia is not captured by the pharmaceutical industrial complex, so he probably has access to all of the off-book medicines that the FDA won't approve, and they'll try all this stuff that's, like-

   30. SMSam Morril15:48

       The good shit.
7. 16:31 – 23:48

   Strength, aging, hangovers, and why lifting is non-negotiable

   1. SMSam Morril16:31

      I started- I s- I- I saw another clip of you recently where you were talking about, like, uh, getting older, like how you have to just, like, lift weights for your health.

   2. JRJoe Rogan16:39

      Yeah.

   3. SMSam Morril16:39

      I- I was like, "All right." I got a trainer for my dad. I'm like, "You guys are getting older. Uh, lift weights."

   4. JRJoe Rogan16:45

      Yeah.

   5. SMSam Morril16:46

      Uh, I- I didn't do it, dude. I would just play basketball. I was like, "I'll just hoop." And then- and then I started to have fucked up neck problems and stuff.

   6. JRJoe Rogan16:52

      Mm-hmm.

   7. SMSam Morril16:52

      And you- and you gave me that neck thing, the- forgot what it's called.

   8. JRJoe Rogan16:55

      The iron neck.

   9. SMSam Morril16:55

      Iron neck.

   10. JRJoe Rogan16:56

       Yeah.

   11. SMSam Morril16:56

       And- but then I just started, like, lifting shoulders. I have such bad shoulders, man, so I just ... You're holding your neck up, you gotta- you gotta-

   12. JRJoe Rogan17:01

       Mm-hmm. Yeah, if you don't do anything, there's no muscle there.

   13. SMSam Morril17:05

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan17:05

       Your- your muscle only exists if you have a reason for it. If you stop u- like, if you get a cast, if you break your arm, your m- arm just shrinks, like, wah.

   15. SMSam Morril17:13

       Yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan17:13

       Because you're not using it.

   17. SMSam Morril17:14

       Yeah.

   18. JRJoe Rogan17:14

       Your body only uses muscles ... Like, it only has muscles where you use them. And if you stop using them for a long period of time, they just fucking shrink.

   19. SMSam Morril17:25

       Yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan17:25

       It's a weird thing. Like, your body- like, if you have to be bedridden for two weeks, when you get up, you're, uh, weak as fuck.

   21. SMSam Morril17:31

       Yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan17:32

       Your body's like, grrr. It's just- it doesn't maintain itself.

   23. SMSam Morril17:35

       Yeah.

   24. JRJoe Rogan17:35

       Except-

   25. SMSam Morril17:35

       Except the dick. The dick is up every morning.

   26. JRJoe Rogan17:36

       But it seems fine.

   27. SMSam Morril17:37

       The dick's rocking, dude.

   28. JRJoe Rogan17:38

       But if you get older, it's more extreme, because now your body's producing less testosterone, less human growth hormone. You're not getting as much sleep. You're not repairing in your sleep. And if you have bad diet on top of that, then it's all compounding over the years and getting worse and worse and worse. Your body's not- doesn't have the nutrients to repair itself. And, you know, with all this atrophy, then you start getting people that bend over to pick up a package and blow their back out.

   29. SMSam Morril18:01

       Yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan18:01

       And like, how did you blow your back out from just bending over to tie your shoes?
8. 23:48 – 29:01

   Ulcers, stress, microbiome theory—and the dark side of antibiotics

   1. SMSam Morril23:48

      I'm trying to find... This is a Jewish shit I'm gonna do. I might pop an antacid with this, 'cause I've been drinking coffee all morning.

   2. JRJoe Rogan23:54

      It... (laughs) Does that help you?

   3. SMSam Morril23:55

      Yeah. Ulcers and shit.

   4. JRJoe Rogan23:57

      Oh, you have ulcers?

   5. SMSam Morril23:58

      Ugh, dude.

   6. JRJoe Rogan23:59

      I just read something about that, that they think ulcers have to do with some sort of stomach, um, bacteria now.

   7. SMSam Morril24:04

      Yeah. Well, you should just health, yeah.

   8. JRJoe Rogan24:06

      So they, they used to think that it was, like, the lining of your stomach was getting eroded by stress, and now they think it has something to do-

   9. SMSam Morril24:13

      I think stress h- hurts it.

   10. JRJoe Rogan24:14

       Oh, it has to.

   11. SMSam Morril24:14

       I hate to sound like a Jewish stereotype.

   12. JRJoe Rogan24:16

       I think stress hurts everything.

   13. SMSam Morril24:18

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan24:18

       I think stress hurts your immune system. It hurts when you s-... the way you sleep, which fucks everything up too. It exacerbates everything.

   15. SMSam Morril24:25

       Yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan24:25

       It just makes sense that things come up with stress. But I think they have some new theory about the creation of ulcers that, that's different. I think it has to do with microbiome.

   17. SMSam Morril24:34

       Yeah. I had to get put under, and they were like, they did the, uh-

   18. JRJoe Rogan24:37

       Whoa.

   19. SMSam Morril24:37

       ... whatever, the x-ray thing. And they're like, "That's a fucking ulcer. That's a big ulcer." And I was like, "All right."

   20. JRJoe Rogan24:41

       Damn.

   21. SMSam Morril24:41

       But-

   22. JRJoe Rogan24:42

       So, what do they tell you to do, like eat-wise?

   23. SMSam Morril24:44

       (sighs) Just didn't do, uh... God, it, it sucks. They're like, everything's bad, basically. You're like, can't... Like, I'm like, "Well, how about coffee?" They're like, "Yeah, you can't have coffee." I'm like, "Well, how about alco..." I, it's also, I have a drinking pod with Norman, so I'm like, "Well, I have to work. I have to go do my thing."

   24. JRJoe Rogan24:58

       (laughs)

   25. SMSam Morril24:58

       And they're, I'm like, and they're like, "What do you mean work?" I'm like, "Well, I drink on my podcast." And they're just like, "What?"

   26. JRJoe Rogan25:03

       (laughs)

   27. SMSam Morril25:03

       They're just like, "What are you, a fucking idiot?" And I was like, "Yeah, no. I just... Can I have one?" They're like, "Drink clear liquor."

   28. JRJoe Rogan25:08

       (laughs)

   29. SMSam Morril25:08

       Like, they're, they're like... I'm bargaining with them that I can still drink.

   30. JRJoe Rogan25:11

       That's hilarious.
9. 29:01 – 31:08

   Wealth inequality reframed: the global 1% and why people migrate

   1. JRJoe Rogan29:01

      Well, when you find out what most of the world makes, in terms of money, you're like... You know the number? Like, with the 1%, if you're in the top 1% of the world?

   2. SMSam Morril29:10

      Yeah, I don't know.

   3. JRJoe Rogan29:10

      $34,000.

   4. SMSam Morril29:12

      Oh, shit.

   5. JRJoe Rogan29:12

      Yeah. If you make 34,000 American dollars, you are in the top 1% of earth.

   6. SMSam Morril29:17

      Crushing life, man.

   7. JRJoe Rogan29:18

      So, all these people that talk about the one percenters, hey, look in the mirror, fuckface.

   8. SMSam Morril29:22

      (laughs)

   9. JRJoe Rogan29:22

      It's all of us. It's literally all of us. We're all ridiculous. We're talking about people in America, you know?

   10. SMSam Morril29:27

       Life is good.

   11. JRJoe Rogan29:28

       Like, this inequality of wealth. What about the world?

   12. SMSam Morril29:31

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan29:31

       What about the whole thing?

   14. SMSam Morril29:32

       It also depends on the state you live in though, 'cause-

   15. JRJoe Rogan29:34

       Oh, yeah.

   16. SMSam Morril29:34

       ... 34 in some states ain't, ain't getting you far.

   17. JRJoe Rogan29:37

       Oh, it's not getting you far in most.

   18. SMSam Morril29:39

       Yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan29:39

       In most states, it's not getting you far, you know? I mean, it's certainly not getting you far in New York and LA.

   20. SMSam Morril29:44

       Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan29:44

       But just, you know, just live anywhere-

   22. SMSam Morril29:47

       Good thing I make 35.

   23. JRJoe Rogan29:48

       Yeah, nice.

   24. SMSam Morril29:49

       Yeah, dude.

   25. JRJoe Rogan29:49

       I mean, people aren't walking over here-

   26. SMSam Morril29:52

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan29:52

       ... for no reason, you know? They're-

   28. SMSam Morril29:54

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan29:54

       They're walking across that border.

   30. SMSam Morril29:56

       Yeah.
10. 31:08 – 58:10

    Sports obsession: Kentucky culture, horse racing, and Formula 1’s physicality

    1. SMSam Morril31:08

       Have you, have you been Keeneland in Lexington, Kentucky?

    2. JRJoe Rogan31:10

       No.

    3. SMSam Morril31:11

       Oh, God.

    4. JRJoe Rogan31:12

       What's that? What's Keeneland?

    5. SMSam Morril31:13

       It's like their, uh, horse racing thing. You bet on the horses, and everyone is so well dressed, like seersucker st- suits.

    6. JRJoe Rogan31:20

       Mm-hmm.

    7. SMSam Morril31:20

       They're fucking... That was my opening line in the city. I said, I s- I was the only person there that didn't look like a villain in Django Unchained.

    8. JRJoe Rogan31:26

       (laughs)

    9. SMSam Morril31:26

       Because, uh, they're all so well-dressed with their mint julep and their drink, and I was like, "I fucking love this."

    10. JRJoe Rogan31:31

        That is cool.

    11. SMSam Morril31:31

        Not to mention like the bourbon in that town is so fun. You just get, you just get fucked up and it, and you feel good. It's like a nice quality... You go to like a random pub there, and you look at their bourbon menu, and you're like, "What the fuck? There's like a diner menu."

    12. JRJoe Rogan31:47

        That's funny.

    13. SMSam Morril31:47

        You know? It's beautiful.

    14. JRJoe Rogan31:49

        Yeah.

    15. SMSam Morril31:49

        I like Kentucky.

    16. JRJoe Rogan31:50

        Kentucky's great, underrated place. I've never been to the derby, but everybody tells me it's a trip. I read, uh, Hunter Thompson's The Kentucky Derby is, uh, Decadent and Depraved. Have you ever read that?

    17. SMSam Morril32:00

        I haven't.

    18. JRJoe Rogan32:01

        Fucking amazing.

    19. SMSam Morril32:01

        It's good?

    20. JRJoe Rogan32:02

        Great piece. Yeah, it's just talking about how fucked these rich monsters are there, like letting their hair down and getting crazy at this horse race derby with all their nutty hats. And, you know, the women have to wear those bizarre hats.

    21. SMSam Morril32:14

        It, it... But it's a scene.

    22. JRJoe Rogan32:15

        It's a scene.

    23. SMSam Morril32:16

        Yeah.

    24. JRJoe Rogan32:16

        I have a buddy who goes every year. He's like, "You gotta go. It's fucking incredible."

    25. SMSam Morril32:20

        And then, you hear about formula-

    26. JRJoe Rogan32:20

        He brings his wife, going to get dressed up. They do the whole thing.

    27. SMSam Morril32:23

        Yeah, I mean, I, it's... That's what I love. It's like I... If it's new to me, I wanna do it. Like, if I'm gonna-

    28. JRJoe Rogan32:28

        Did you say Formula? You were saying Formula One racing?

    29. SMSam Morril32:29

        Well, yeah. I just started watching it a little bit.

    30. JRJoe Rogan32:31

        Ah.
11. 58:10 – 1:07:46

    Rodney Dangerfield, comedy lineage, and building a club culture that develops talent

    1. JRJoe Rogan58:10

       Did you see the handwritten notes we have in the green room from Dangerfield?

    2. SMSam Morril58:13

       I love them. Dude, I love the green room.

    3. JRJoe Rogan58:14

       Isn't that incredible?

    4. SMSam Morril58:15

       It's so cool. No, I love comedy history shit like that, like-

    5. JRJoe Rogan58:17

       But those are from his wife. His wife gave them to us.

    6. SMSam Morril58:20

       I talked to her on the phone. I, 'cause I, I, I was, after Whitney's podcast, we were, she was driving me, we were drive-, doing the same show. And she's like, "Do you wanna talk to," she knows I love Rodney, so she's like, "Do you wanna, do you wanna, uh, talk to Joan Dangerfield?" I was like, "Yes."

    7. JRJoe Rogan58:32

       Wow.

    8. SMSam Morril58:33

       So she calls me, uh, or she calls Joan Dangerfield. And Joan picks up the phone, and, and she's, I'm like, "Oh, I loved your husband, uh, so much." I was like, "Back to School's, like, my favorite movie ever, and I love his stand-up, his Carson appearances." I'm, I'm like, "I- I'm obsessed with Dangerfield." And she's like, "You wanna hear a Dangerfield joke no one's ever heard?" And I said, "Yeah." When he was going under for a big operation, he, he was like, "Fuck, I might not make it, and if I don't have my mind, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be alive." Like, it's all I have, I'm a comic. And he comes out of it, and the doctor goes, "Did you cough anything up?" And he goes, "Yeah, $500 last week to a whore." (laughs)

    9. JRJoe Rogan59:10

       (laughs)

    10. SMSam Morril59:10

        He woke up with a fucking joke.

    11. JRJoe Rogan59:12

        (laughs)

    12. SMSam Morril59:13

        So cool. I love shit like, I, Danger-, Back to School to me is, like, the best comfort watch ever, because it's like, it's only, every character serves to set up his stand-up.

    13. JRJoe Rogan59:23

        Yeah.

    14. SMSam Morril59:23

        His wife's like, "You're impossible." "Oh yeah? And you're easy." You know? Like, it's all just perfect fucking jokes.

    15. JRJoe Rogan59:29

        Yeah, yeah. That's great with you.

    16. SMSam Morril59:30

        "You're tall and fat." "Yeah, well, you're short and ugly." (laughs)

    17. JRJoe Rogan59:33

        (laughs)

    18. SMSam Morril59:34

        You remember the scene with, uh, there's, I think about this scene, 'cause it's been ripped off so much. But when they're getting, it's like, Burt Young is so funny in that movie too. But when they're getting drunk at the bar, it's, like, young Robert Downey Jr., who's, like, hilarious in it too. And they're, they're bringing them a pitcher, "Bring us a pitcher of beer every seven minutes until someone passes out. Then bring us one every 10." (laughs)

    19. JRJoe Rogan59:53

        (laughs)

    20. SMSam Morril59:53

        Like, you can't be more fun than that, you know?

    21. JRJoe Rogan59:56

        Yeah. No, he was great. I saw him live when I was a security guard.

    22. SMSam Morril59:59

        Whoa, where?

    23. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

        I was a security guard at Great Woods.

    24. SMSam Morril1:00:02

        No shit.

    25. JRJoe Rogan1:00:02

        Great Woods is a, uh, it's a concert place in Mansfield, Massachusetts. And, uh, I was working security there. And this is, I was 19 years old. And I got to see a lot of people there. I got to see, uh, I got to see Bill Cosby there.

    26. SMSam Morril1:00:18

        Wow.

    27. JRJoe Rogan1:00:18

        I saw, uh-

    28. SMSam Morril1:00:19

        Bet that was a good show.

    29. JRJoe Rogan1:00:20

        It was a good show.

    30. SMSam Morril1:00:21

        Yeah.
