How did Sam Morril get started making mockumentaries about his tour?
There was a guy who used to pick us up uh at this comedy club side splitters uh in his convertible. He'd be he'd be hammered, just bombed, and he would pick you up singing, uh, Big Girls Don't Cry. I'm like, this is the last thing I'm gonna hear as he flips this car off the highway. You look like you're in the Middle East right now in a hostage video with that lighting.
That's only for the next thirteen weeks.
Oh, it's like the Luigi, yeah, he killed the guy with uh you know, mad about health insurance. I saw Amazon was doing discount checkups and I was just like, Oh, that's how you know we're f when Amazon is like helping. I I I think we're like we're like four months away from hey, what's your health insurance? I'm with uh DraftKings Silver Leaf premiere, you know?
Samurai, uh Dana, I love having comics. Uh I'm not gonna say club comic, but I do know that he is a very, very good club comic from New York. Deep voice, cool guy, very funny, very edgy. Cool voice. Works with Mark Norman a lot. And they do a podcast. He just did a movie about stand up, a documentary that's coming out. And I know I he wrote a movie with Mark. because my old director was maybe gonna do it. So uh this is a great one where it's just jokes, uh breaking down stand up, breaking down the clubs and all the stuff. If you like comedy, it's fun to hear.
Yeah. It's a very interesting story. It's nice to get to know him on 'cause I I d wasn't that familiar with him, but yeah, he's a very sweet guy, uh, thoughtful about his stand up and loves stand up. Which is great. You mean a pure stand up. And he likes the movies.
This is the place we um Like to kinda introduce everyone to comics that but they may or may not have seen the our our crowd is very comedian.
Right. Generally speaking, um people who come on our podcast who that are playing clubs are soon playing stadiums. I don't know why that is, but it's a pretty common refrain.
We help. Uh here he is Samurai.
Yeah, what's up?
Oh he's here. He's here? Hey everybody. What's up, dude? Sorry, we're just Dana's a daughtering, you know. Older gentleman, he's over there. He doesn't know what's going on. He's wandering around. He's wandering around like Gladys Knight.
Maybe. Well you got five hour energy, holy shit.
You can't you can't even see it. You won't even be able to see it.
That's a lot.
Hey Dana. Dana, get your earphones on. Our fucking guest is here. Dana, that's Sam. I don't know. I know. We
we didn't know if we're supposed to put our sponsors thing in the background, but I guess we did.
Dana puts it in the back. I put it like
Quick selfie for Instagram and yes. No, I w I didn't do that. Sam, so nice to see you, meet you. I guess we've have we run into
each other or I'm no, we've never met. I've always wanted to meet you, man.
Thank you. I've always wanted to meet you too. Look at the research. We don't phone it in here.
Oh shit. We don't fucking phone shit in here. Is this
what you guys do on yours?
No. No, no. We phone it in. I don't it's called the phone in pod.
That should that's a great name for a podcast. And by the way, ignoring this, remember Craig Ferguson? He'd have the notes and then he'd go just rip it up. I don't know if you guys remember that, you know. Sure. Because who cares? I you know, I've seen enough of you that to know that you will not be like, so I uh what do you guys want to talk about? Yeah.
Uh yeah, dude. We we had opportunity knocks was a was a staple in the household growing up. Truly. We I probably watched it. I text my brother, I was like, How many times have we watched that growing up? And he was like, probably 15 at least. I don't know if I don't know.
Have you had war have you had any war stories? You must have war stories with with whatever. And that was that was uh very awkward. I but I've I fought for it. Yeah. It was un I love it. Unreleasable. Uh, the first thing and then I said, Well, let's have him crawl through the audience, you know, to Born to Be Wild. And then we brought in a choreographer and then it was enough to get released. But you were probably at the right age.
