What is the focus of the podcast episode?
Wow, wow, Wes.
Why do comedians use headsets on stage?
Hey, we're live. What's up, everybody? Sam Morrell, thank you for coming, dude.
Thanks for having me, man.
I mean, I hate to dig into what we were just saying, but you're absolutely right. The headset, that was one of the funniest things I've ever heard. Oh, why'd I burn it off air? I was the funny, just saying.
That's what everyone says now. You show up, they're like, save it. Save it for the pod.
But Sam was looking at my headset. He said that just when you see a comedian with a headset on stage, you know, a molestation story is going to get serious. That's the funniest thing I've ever heard, man.
It's always something dark. There was another guy in the 90s. I forgot his name, but he was like the first half was really funny. And then he was like, anyway, my dad was murdered. And you're like, what? But he had the headset. You knew something was coming.
It is. It does lend a gravitas towards the whole thing.
Yeah. Here is the secret to life. Just pause. Or like a self-help person where they're just doing this a lot.
That's where I got... Remember, did you ever see Vanilla Skies with Tom Cruise? Yeah. That's where this made me laugh of him just being like, you want to get fucking pussy or not? Thank you for coming, dude.
I'm fucking pumped to have you. I couldn't tell if that was a good movie or not.
When they broke out and singing in the end, it pissed me off. Vanilla Sky? No, I'm thinking of, not Vanilla Sky, Magnolia or something. Oh, with the frogs? Yes, yes.
Yeah, that was annoying.
That pissed me off.
That was a really good movie until then.
What are the challenges comedians face with their material?
It was awesome, and then it just ended pointlessly with him singing, and I was like, this is fucking pissing me off.
Yeah, I love you. Dude, thanks for coming, man. Thanks for having me, dude. I'm happy to be here.
Dude, it's funny. The first time I ever saw you, I was a pup in comedy. I was a young pup, and my friend Chris O'Connor was like, dude, Sam Rowe's going. It was in Philly. You were doing some show. I forget where it was. We just watched, and we're like, you know when you just start, and you see a guy who actually can do it, and you're just like, oh, fuck, dude. Where was it? It was in Philly. I forget. Some theater. It was like a theater, but it wasn't like a... Like a black box type thing?
Yes. I did a lot of those in Philly because they were easy to get to. Train is like 90 minutes. People don't know. It's like right there.
I loved it. I was a young comedy pup, and we were going, whoa, dude, that's so fucking cool. Dude, he has a whole fucking hour. This is crazy. Five minutes, we're like, oh, dude, that's so fucking cool.
And then if I look back at that hour, I'd be like, oh, I fucking suck. Yeah.
that's how it works you know you feel good about it for a minute and then yeah but then i don't like my new stuff either it's like you know yeah it's tough how do you feel about your stuff uh i i go back and forth sometimes i'm like like the hour i'm doing now i'll be like this is great and then i'll like there's like chunks of it where i'm like this fucking sucks i need to cut this all out but i just i get to the point where i just want to be done with it i'm like i all right this it is what it is i wanted to like release this and just go on coming up with something else
I know it's, it's amazing how quickly it's like, it's like just a new relationship. And like the, at first you're like, Oh my God, this is amazing. And then a few months in, you're like, what am I doing? I know what the fuck I'm talking about.
Yeah. I'll like, I'll like laugh. I'll not even laugh. I'll be like, as I, there's like certain things I'll say for me in my head. I'm like, you fucking loser. And I'm like, all right, come on, man. Come on. Let's get through the hour, brother. Let's get through this.
There's always that one chunk where you're like, fuck, why am I still doing it? But, you know, you're doing it because you believe. You're like, it'll get better. Yeah. But you got to do it enough that you hate it. And then you're like, all right, I'll write new stuff.
