Did work together the whole flight.

[Sam Morril]

But it is funny that you were like certain. Certain jokes. See, I have no back on this. I'm like, fall in this window. Can I scoot this thing over or no?

[Mark Normand]

Is it out of frame?

[Sam Morril]

Because I'm like falling through this thing.

[Mark Normand]

You got no back.

Hold on.

[Mark Normand]

You're going to pull an Eric Clapton's kid right up the windows of heaven. Yes.

In the grocery store the other day. It's a depressing grocery store song.

Depends on what you're. What you're shopping for. If you're really having a low. We'll wait. We'll wait. Hold on. Sorry.

[Mark Normand]

It's still.

[Sam Morril]

I had to move, but I had to have a back because otherwise I'm going to fall backwards through the.

[Mark Normand]

Still better than when you hear a wap at the dentist?

[Sam Morril]

No. I love that. That gets me ready for a tease. Cleaning dude.

[Mark Normand]

Gotta suck that. That liquid. How about this? We're growing up where you came here at 11am I wouldn't do anything at 11am four years ago.

[Sam Morril]

See, I'm not. I've always been this way. I'm not like the comic. I don't sleep until 2, 3pm Really? I don't do it. No. I don't know why I sleep. I get up at like 7:30 every day.

[Andrew Santino]

Wow.

[Mark Normand]

The drinking nights still. Damn.

[Sam Morril]

You got to go up and go, jump in the. Jump in the cold plunge.

[Andrew Santino]

Do you do the plunge?

[Sam Morril]

I love it.

[Andrew Santino]

Are we douchebags?

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. 100.

[Mark Normand]

It's over the organs, dude.

[Sam Morril]

I'm 41 years old. I'm not sure. I'm not trying to be cool anymore. It's I'm done. I play with my dog. I go in the cold plunge. I play with my dog in the morning.

[Andrew Santino]

How cool do you make it?

[Sam Morril]

So the. It's set at 40. Anywhere from 46 to 49, I think is the highest.

[Andrew Santino]

It's not that bad.

[Sam Morril]

No. For when it's 42 is my. Like, right below, right above 40 is like. That's when it gets you. Your dick disappears.

[Andrew Santino]

It's in my body.

[Sam Morril]

Fascinating. It's cool to see how small your dick can get.

[Andrew Santino]

It's amazing.

[Mark Normand]

I already know I don't need the plunge.

[Sam Morril]

If I was gonna get into a fight in this day and age, I'd want to get into a cold plunge. First, get your dick close to your body.

[Andrew Santino]

My dick looks like a puppy's tail. It's brutal.

[Mark Normand]

A little wag like the chop tail. It's nice that your body's like, hey, we're gonna protect your dick in this time of trauma.

[Sam Morril]

No, your balls go way up.

[Mark Normand]

That's nice.

[Andrew Santino]

It is kind of scary when kind of go in your body.

[Sam Morril]

They go in your body.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah, it's weird.

[Sam Morril]

For safety, dude.

[Mark Normand]

It's kind of like when your kid gets molested and he blocks it out. Repressed memory.

[Sam Morril]

You want to tell us something?

[Mark Normand]

Sure.

[Sam Morril]

It was 81 touched as a kid. Were you?

[Mark Normand]

I wish. I.

[Sam Morril]

Come on, tell me the truth.

[Mark Normand]

No, I don't think so. I had a lot of intruders in the house.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, because you had that house. That's like the house of horror. You had, like, a haunted house of completely.

[Mark Normand]

I think there was a guy at my house once and, like, walked by my bed, and I pushed it out because I. I dream about that all the time.

[Sam Morril]

I went to your city. I was just in New Orleans.

[Andrew Santino]

Great city.

[Sam Morril]

Interesting.

[Mark Normand]

It's ups and downs.

[Andrew Santino]

Comedy city, but great city, Comedy city.

[Sam Morril]

I don't know why it's so weird. How did it go?

[Mark Normand]

Did you sell any tickets?

[Sam Morril]

I did a little bit. We chat, we texted. Because I was like, dude, I can't sell your city. For some reason, like, the whole tour sold out, and I couldn't. I did fine. I think I ended up like, that's me.

[Mark Normand]

Thank you.

[Sam Morril]

And I don't want to share with you what you did last night. Yeah, I think it was like, 80 something. Not 89. 90%.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, that's good for New Orleans. That's huge.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, dude, it was so hard, but the crowd was great, so I was like, I don't know. I think the people that do come out really, really want to See, comedy.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

I think it just doesn't have it embedded in the culture.

[Andrew Santino]

No, there's not a comedy club.

[Sam Morril]

No, I know, but there's never have been. There has been.

[Mark Normand]

Right? They open and close. So what's the main.

[Sam Morril]

What's that main drag. The parade was going on Bourbon. No, no, no, no. Not Bourbon Street. The bigger one. It's a canal lane. Canal.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

That is like Grand Theft Auto Live. Dude, that's insane. It's gross.

[Mark Normand]

It's wild.

[Sam Morril]

We went to go get my. My Laura Peak, who opens with me. Dude, she's so good.

[Mark Normand]

She's great and great.

[Sam Morril]

She wanted to go get some smokes and I said, all right, let's go. So we go out, we're gon get some cigarettes. And I was like, dude, let's just postmate it. I don't want to be on Canal. It's. It was chaos.

[Mark Normand]

It's wild.

[Sam Morril]

It's zombie. It's zombie daylight. Fentanyl. Slumping.

[Mark Normand]

Yes.

[Sam Morril]

And they're. Y'all yelling at you see, the homeless here don't yell at you.

[Andrew Santino]

The trick is to just jog everywhere.

[Sam Morril]

Yes. I'm sprinting.

[Andrew Santino]

They're not going to mug you when you're jogging. Yeah, it's. I don't want to deal with that.

[Sam Morril]

Worth it.

[Mark Normand]

It's true.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, yeah. No, it was a fun city, but it's also.

[Mark Normand]

It's. It's wilder than New York, so.

[Sam Morril]

Interesting, man.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, it's just a weird.

[Sam Morril]

It's just a. I can't figure it out. Like, I can't wrap my head around.

[Andrew Santino]

What's it called? The fun. Like the second line. The cemetery where they did Easy Rider, you know?

[Mark Normand]

Oh, yeah, that's.

[Andrew Santino]

We passed out. I'm like, that's crazy. Just a cemetery. Just like above, above ground.

[Mark Normand]

Mausoleums. Because of the flooding.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sam Morril]

It'll happen again.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah. During Katrina, there were bodies floating. It's. It's a voodoo.

[Sam Morril]

Anybody. Anybody you knew? Anybody you recognize?

[Mark Normand]

Andrew Jackson and Paul Perdom and Emeril was in there, I think.

[Sam Morril]

Emerald Lagasse. He's gone. No, he's still around.

[Mark Normand]

He will be.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

I mean, that cholesterol is coming.

[Andrew Santino]

He's like one of the fat ones.

[Mark Normand]

You gotta be a fat.

[Andrew Santino]

Well, Bobby Flay is like, in great shape.

[Sam Morril]

See, I don't trust a skin.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Skinny chef is a weird.

[Mark Normand]

Exactly.

[Sam Morril]

If you're a female chef and you're skinny, fine. But if you're a fat, you're. If you're a skinny male chef. I just. I Don't. I don't know. What do you do? What are you focusing on exactly?

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah, Bobby shows like one chef and one young actress. He's to the judges.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah. You know.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Mark Normand]

I don't like it.

[Andrew Santino]

This is.

[Sam Morril]

His daughter is like a famous something. Somebody told me. I don't know if she's a chef or something, but she's famous something. And she's apparently good looking. She's next.

[Mark Normand]

He's a hunk.

[Andrew Santino]

Well, yeah. His ex wife was the hot lady from Law and Order, right?

[Sam Morril]

Oh, that's right. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Andrew Santino]

The blonde one.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, the D.A.

[Andrew Santino]

He wasn't pulling Detective Poon. He was pulling D.A.

[Mark Normand]

Poon.

[Sam Morril]

Entry. Entry level.

[Mark Normand]

Just on the body.

[Sam Morril]

You got to move up, dude. Boys. How's the bodega cat?

[Mark Normand]

Hey, we're cooking. We're in the store now. The factory.

[Sam Morril]

We finished the bottle.

[Andrew Santino]

Yes.

[Sam Morril]

I don't know why.

[Andrew Santino]

All right. It's moving for sure. Like Laugh Factory, improv, and Comedy Store all gonna.

[Mark Normand]

Come on.

[Sam Morril]

Seriously?

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

That's great, man. That is fantastic. No, I think it's. It's funny because it's like starting a brand, starting your own is so tough. And I know Bert and Tom try to. They're doing vodka, I think.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah, yeah, we appreciate it. I mean, they. Bird even said he's like, we don't want to step on you guys with the whiskey. So we're doing vodka, which, you know.

[Mark Normand]

Come on. That's very nice.

[Sam Morril]

Tough. I have zero interest in vodka.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, I like a vod.

[Andrew Santino]

I like him. I like a martini. But like. But then. But the real martini, people will tell you you're fooling yourself. It's not a martini with vodka. It's only a martini with gin.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, vodka is an alcoholic drink.

[Mark Normand]

Ain't that the truth?

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, it's fake. It takes on the taste of whatever you put it with. So it's a fake drink.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, interesting.

[Sam Morril]

I think liquor has to be. It has to be flavored and cultured enough on its own that you should be able to enjoy it on its own.

[Andrew Santino]

If it's good liquor, no personality.

[Sam Morril]

Right? Vodka's boring.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Vodka is a skinny female chef.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, nothing there. Good.

[Sam Morril]

There's nothing there.

[Andrew Santino]

Wow.

[Mark Normand]

Skinny chef. It's like a stable stripper. I don't like.

[Sam Morril]

What are we talking?

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, I need some trauma. Eat some mental illness.

[Sam Morril]

It's like a hooker that chats too much. Get the base days. Yeah. Vodka, vodka. Vodka just goes with whatever it's with, which is why I never. And even like in high school, when people go get like a bottle of vodka to put with, like a mixer, I was always, like, not interested. Just go get me some dark stuff.

[Mark Normand]

It's a little amateur, but the hangover is better for vodka. Yeah.

[Andrew Santino]

Clear is better if you're drinking good vodka.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Andrew Santino]

Not if you're drinking pop off or some.

[Sam Morril]

But I'll have me some pop off. So that's dirty boy stuff.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

That's when you want to disappear into the night. Moon comes up and goes, let's go to bed, dude.

[Mark Normand]

By the way, chatty hooker, they should have the Uber thing where they go, do you want a conversation or no? That should be a prereq.

[Sam Morril]

What did it say on the Uber now that it says, like, you know how they. They tell you that they're deaf or whatever? Like.

[Mark Normand]

Yes.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

I love deaf drivers.

[Andrew Santino]

Me too.

[Sam Morril]

Whether or not none of them.

[Andrew Santino]

I've had three foreign. Yeah, you should be able to request deaf or foreign.

[Mark Normand]

Yes.

[Sam Morril]

Well, you know what you notice this now is like, the driver that drove me here isn't a super nice guy. And I'm on the phone talking to a friend about getting a real id, you know, like a. You have to have now, like, your driver's license. There's what's called a real ID here in California. To be able to travel, everyone has to have a real idol. Do you know what this is? He's nodding. Yeah, you have to have a real ID at some point. They won't let you travel with your driver's license. What's different this year?

[Mark Normand]

Weird.

[Sam Morril]

It's just. It's government verified. It's more money for the government. It's just another branch they created to get more money.

[Mark Normand]

I do the digital face at the airport now. It's pretty great.

[Sam Morril]

Couldn't give it up, dude.

[Mark Normand]

I know. I don't want to.

[Andrew Santino]

Those.

[Sam Morril]

I can't do the digital face at the airport.

[Andrew Santino]

Why?

[Sam Morril]

I don't know what. Something about it freaks me out.

[Mark Normand]

They got your retina now.

[Sam Morril]

The clear.

[Mark Normand]

I do the clear. The digital and the clear.

[Sam Morril]

Because that's a scam. The TSA is just as quick as the clear.

[Mark Normand]

Sometimes it's longer.

[Andrew Santino]

You know, certain airports, you never know.

[Sam Morril]

I just. I can't do it. But she was talking about the getting the real ID or whatever. And then I'm. I'm like, what's the difference? And then the driver turns around and shows me. He's like, this is real id, has a California bear and the top right corner. He's like talking while he's driving. He's listening to my whole conversation.

[Mark Normand]

Should have gotten the deaf guy.

[Sam Morril]

I know.

[Andrew Santino]

Don't get the idea we had that last night. Mark and I were going through the set and we're literally going back and forth and this guy keep going, what's going on with the cops? We're like, we don't. Why would we know?

[Sam Morril]

How's that our thing?

[Andrew Santino]

I know.

[Mark Normand]

We're trying to go over jokes.

[Sam Morril]

You guys did great last night, though. That Netflix thing is going to be fun. It's going to be good because you guys are in it.

[Mark Normand]

Thanks. We'll see.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, no, it will be. It's got to be. It's not live. Is it live?

[Mark Normand]

Live crowd taped at.

[Andrew Santino]

We were nervous because we. We pushed Dane Cook set back too, and we're like, we don't want to be the New York guys doing that.

[Mark Normand]

Right?

[Sam Morril]

It was eight minutes.

[Andrew Santino]

I know, but we.

[Sam Morril]

We don't.

[Andrew Santino]

We've never met him either.

[Sam Morril]

So we.

[Andrew Santino]

After the set, we gave the, hey, man, how are. You know. We tried to charm him a little bit.

[Sam Morril]

He was fine.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, he was.

[Sam Morril]

He really care. He doesn't care about.

[Andrew Santino]

He was very nice. But we just, you know, don't.

[Sam Morril]

We all know by now, though? Comedy's never on time.

[Mark Normand]

Ain't that the truth?

[Andrew Santino]

Especially in la.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. It's like it's never on time.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Well, the seller. Sometimes if I'm in New York for a while and they send me those, like, sets and like, man, these are so close to each other. But then you're like, it's not. It's never going to happen on time.

[Mark Normand]

20 minutes. Add an extra 25 every time. We did chocolate sundaes.

[Andrew Santino]

Speaking of late, dude, we did Laugh Factory. I hope we can find the footage of us running the roasted Laugh Factory and D Ray Davis's show last night.

[Mark Normand]

It was bad.

[Andrew Santino]

Talk about bombing at chocolate Sundaes.

[Mark Normand]

We were just bombing Ray show at Improv.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, what's that one called? It's gotta have a fun name.

[Andrew Santino]

It doesn't.

[Mark Normand]

It's called Sickle Cell. I can't remember. It was something crazy, but Glaucoma Presents, it was called.

[Andrew Santino]

You should not have said that. Yeah, yeah, they hate it. Dude, we. We rough. What was the line? The guy last night, what did the guy say to you when we were getting off stage? This is the worst part.

[Mark Normand]

So we had a rough bomb, and I'm walking off stage and this black guy's with his wife. He goes, dude, dude, what you're in a show, right? You're in a show. And I jokingly said, to catch a predator. He goes, that's it.

[Andrew Santino]

That's how bad a set it was. He was like, this guy's only work.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, dude, I love.

[Sam Morril]

I. I love when a black dude will recognize me but not know where I'm from. Like, on a. I was on a plane and he was standing, you know, I'm sitting down and I'm looking on my phone, and he's in line aboarding the plane, and he goes, yo, hey, yo. And then I looked up and he goes, you that dude from that. Yo, you that dude, right? And I was like, oh, hey, man, you know what? I'm trying to. Because it's. You know what I mean? Like, it's a quiet. I'm like, yeah. And it's like 10:30 in the morning, and then. And he goes, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, bro, bro. And he turns and his buddy is in the. Still in the. What is that called? The. You know, the.

[Mark Normand]

The Jetway.

[Sam Morril]

The Jetway, yeah. He's still in the Jet bridge. And he turns into the jet bridge. He goes, hey, yo, is that dude from the. What's. Come on, man.

[Mark Normand]

Come here.

[Sam Morril]

And his boy, like, looks up and he goes, yo, that is that dude. And I was like, oh, my. But it made me feel good.

[Mark Normand]

Was it Lil Dicky show you that?

[Sam Morril]

Probably, yeah. 100.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah, that's got to be it.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. He doesn't know me from anything that shows.

[Andrew Santino]

Huge.

[Sam Morril]

It was.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Andrew Santino]

Great on that show, man.

[Sam Morril]

It was all right. It was fun. It's over now. Wait, this is funny. This reminds me of when I first moved to LA. @. @ the Improv is used to be called Mo Better Mondays. I think that was D Ray's old show. I don't know. I don't know who did it.

[Mark Normand]

It might have been it, but it.

[Sam Morril]

Was mo Better Monday. And I was like 23 or 22 years old. And, you know when you're first in the club scene, you, like, don't know how to. You know. You're like, I'm a comedian.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Okay if I just hang out somewhere?

[Andrew Santino]

Sure.

[Sam Morril]

And the door guys are like, the fuck out of here. Like, they don't want. You know, they don't care. And the guy was like, yeah, you could just go sit by the bar. And I was like, okay. And he's like, but get in line over here first. And I was like, oh, what is this? He's like, you got to go through the metal detector and I went through the metal detector. They made me take off my pockets. I was like, I've never seen this before. And I sit at the bar, and Eddie, who's not there anymore, a bartender, one of, like, the. One of the best dudes, I said to him, I go, excuse me, why is there a metal detector? And he's making drinks. He goes, it's mobile Mondays. And it slipped on me. And I was like, what do you mean? He goes, it's mo better Mondays. And then walked away. I was like, right, okay. Right on. Right.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah. We had a similar thing. We walked in, the guy goes, it's gonna be late. Like, you're gonna be here a while.

[Andrew Santino]

We got a message. And we got a message. It's.

[Sam Morril]

It's.

[Andrew Santino]

It's usually late.

[Sam Morril]

It's late.

[Andrew Santino]

You usually get the. It's never. It's usually.

[Sam Morril]

It's very late. Yeah, it's a cultural.

[Andrew Santino]

Oh, dude. How about Laugh Factory? Our friend Matt Herman, who runs Bodega Ca the back, and he just overhears two black guy go to his girlfriend. I hear these guys are racist.

[Mark Normand]

Where?

[Andrew Santino]

What the does that even mean?

[Sam Morril]

I wasn't at that show. What are they talking about?

[Mark Normand]

That's my thing.

[Andrew Santino]

Same thing to say, Yeah, I hear.

[Sam Morril]

These guys are racist. Well, you're a laugh act. You should have pulled a Kramer do the thing. You know, throwback.

[Mark Normand]

We thought about it.

[Sam Morril]

Throwback, dude.

[Mark Normand]

A better set.

[Andrew Santino]

He did better than we did.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

That video still embedded into everybody's brain forever a piece of cultural history.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Andrew Santino]

Was that the first viral video?

[Mark Normand]

It was the first cell phone.

[Sam Morril]

It was the first, like, you know. You know how now everyone's got a video of someone doing something wild. They can. You can't believe they caught it on camera. That was the first. How did you catch that on camera?

[Mark Normand]

Totally.

[Sam Morril]

Like, how did that even get on? Like, no one was recording at shows back then.

[Mark Normand]

I guess a guy whipped out a Nokia or something, because I know I.

[Sam Morril]

Was playing Snake and was like, one second, I got to get this on camera. That's. Still, to this day, we watch it that me and a couple of buddies will send it to each other, like, once a year just to re. It's just so funny.

[Mark Normand]

Brutal.

[Andrew Santino]

It's so wild.

[Mark Normand]

That guy from the sitcom saying that it was a crazy.

[Sam Morril]

Watch a man collapse, though. It's kind of beautiful on stage.

[Mark Normand]

We've all been there.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, well, not there.

[Andrew Santino]

Destroyed by a Motorola razor. Yeah, it's a throwback.

[Mark Normand]

Then Tosh had that similar thing that was kind of around that too. He had the. The rape joke.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, yeah, yeah. But that was it. But again, this is like embedded in his comedy set.

[Mark Normand]

That's true.

[Sam Morril]

Doesn't matter.

[Andrew Santino]

Workout show. And Tosh had the chop. That was different.

[Mark Normand]

Of course he.

[Sam Morril]

But that doesn't matter to him anyway. That's like a Give a shit. Well, a joke on a ride is meaning.

[Mark Normand]

No, that's not.

[Sam Morril]

Especially nowadays too.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

We're all throwing so much stuff out there now that it just doesn't really. It doesn't really land.

[Mark Normand]

They devour the content. It's like you can't fill that hole.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. But I think it's going to change. Something's coming. I said that to a friend the other day. I was like, something's changing. I think.

[Mark Normand]

I think, yeah, there's a fatigue.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. I think people are just tired of like a billion clips and. Yeah, a billion crowd were clips. And I think people have seen so much now that they're checked out. I don't know what the next revolution.

[Mark Normand]

Will be, but I think longer, like these guys, Josh Johnson types are doing like 25 minutes.

[Andrew Santino]

Shows will come back. Dude, we gotta ask you something actually, because Mark met Larry David.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah.

[Andrew Santino]

Had a. So. So interaction. I had a quick one. It was pretty good. You. You were on Curb.

[Sam Morril]

I did an episode of Curb. Yeah. I did one episode of Curb, but it was amazing. For me, it was like I was Joe. I was teed up to win. Yeah. Mocha Joe's episode. I was teed up to win pretty hard. I will be honest. Like, I went in there, you know, with so much ammunition because the casting director is the first. Is the person that put me in my very first thing too. She supported me a lot in my career, so she was great. She was like, this is for you to lose. All you have to do is go in and. And be yourself. Like, don't screw yourself. And I knew her. In the room was Larry, one of the writers, the casting director, and then at the time, her associate. I don't even know what to call him, but he's now at Netflix, which is great. He's. He's now moved on too, but. So it was a room full of people that's like, I'm bound to win because it's just Larry's the only guy I'm trying to impress.

[Andrew Santino]

And this is the audition.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, this is the audition. And they give you a. They gave me a. They give you a character breakdown and there's no scene. They just tell you what the details of the character are. So this one was. I actually originally auditioned for the guy whose dog was Adolf. Did you?

[Mark Normand]

Oh, yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Remember that?

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

His dog's name was Adolf. And, you know. And Larry's like, that's a particular. That's an interesting name. So I auditioned for that, and I played it up. And then Larry, was that when he says hail Hitler? Yeah. So good. He. So I played it up a little bit as the character and did, like, a little bit of a German accent for him. And he liked it. I could tell. I could tell he was interested. And then she's like, takes me in the hallway, and she goes, give it a second. She goes, talks to Larry. She comes back out, and she's like, larry. Larry says that you don't. You don't look like one of these areas.

[Andrew Santino]

You're a redhead.

[Sam Morril]

Like, you don't look like this Aryan germ. It's like, it's not gonna work. You don't fit the look. And I was like, all right. So I was ready to get in my car, and she's like, no, no, hold on. Hold one second. She went back in. They talked for another three minutes. She comes back out, and she's like, he wants you to do this other one. Will you try this other one? Whatever. Fine. So she hands me the paper. I went out into the hallway. They took one more audition. And then I was like, I'm ready. I can go now. She's like, you don't want any more time to prepare? And I was like, no, no, I can. I'll do this. So is the guy that invented the P cube the urinal where the door shuts?

[Mark Normand]

Yes.

[Sam Morril]

And I went in the room and I said, I think off the bat, I did the bit. Larry and I were just improving. And I did the bit where I was like, yeah, depending on your penis size, the door automatically sensors how big or small your is. And that depends on how the. The urinal shifts up and down. And it'll go doot. Small penis detected and it'll move down. And Larry started chuckling a little bit. And so I just went in harder on this bit of, like, you know, I was like, oh. And then, you know, not only recognize, like, the length of your penis, but the girth may matter, you know, So I just kept going on, and he was. He. And then he broke, like, two times, maybe, like, just laughing out loud. And then halfway through, he was like, get out of here. Get the. Get out of here. Get the.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, it was great.

[Sam Morril]

He was laughing, and he was like, get the out of here. You're. Get out of here. You're good. Get out of here.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, that's incredible.

[Sam Morril]

I called my. I called my wife on the way home, and I was like, look, dude, if all the. I've done hundreds of auditions. I was like, there's no way that I didn't get that because it was so fun. I was like, they'll throw me in something. Yeah. Because he was having a good time. It was like, even if they put me in the background as like a one, I didn't care.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

And then they called me later that day, and they were like, yeah, Larry wants you to do that bit. So it was great. And on the day, it was a joke for me because JB walked. He came on set and saw me and was like, oh. So then it made me feel comfortable. And he wasn't even in the scene. He put himself in the scene.

[Mark Normand]

Whoa.

[Sam Morril]

Larry and Larry, you could tell, was like, just get out for this one. Just get out. Their relationship is so exactly the show.

[Mark Normand]

It's amazing.

[Sam Morril]

He's like. He's like, come on, come on. Get out. Please get out. And JB wanted to keep inserting, so he just kind of got in the scene, and it made it even better. And then Jeff was there, so it was like he knew me from stand up. It was. It just felt comfortable.

[Mark Normand]

So that's great.

[Sam Morril]

I didn't have the fear, but in the morning, I was tripped out.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

I was like, dude, am I got to be so good in front of Larry?

[Mark Normand]

And there's no script.

[Sam Morril]

No. And I was. I was just nervous because you don't want to over improv with him. I was like, I don't want him to be like, stop it. I don't want that.

[Mark Normand]

Right.

[Sam Morril]

Of him being like, dude, calm down. You're doing too. You're doing way too much. So in the morning, I was nervous as. But then once I got there and saw jb, I was like, we're good.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah. It's just like, incredible.

[Sam Morril]

Broke me open. Then I didn't care. And Larry was really playful and such a rad dude. I know. I don't know if he had a bad experience, dude, but he's.

[Mark Normand]

Well, I did, man. I did a self tape, and it says in the notes, don't try to be funny.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

Which is the hardest note. Not saying, we can't not be funny. But you're like, well, how do I do it? Do I do it straight? Do I do it?

[Sam Morril]

Yeah.

[Andrew Santino]

Like, because he's the funny guy. I mean, they wanted you.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, but you were funny.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, but they want you to. They. But. But I was funny.

[Andrew Santino]

Playing as straight. That's what. The scene is funny, right?

[Sam Morril]

The scene is very funny. They wanted me to be dead serious about the.

[Mark Normand]

The.

[Sam Morril]

About the bit. He was like, take it serious.

[Mark Normand]

It's your job. Got it?

[Sam Morril]

He kept saying that, too. At the. At the. On the day. He was like, this is your job. He's like, you are a. So I was a little like. He was like, well, why can't we do that? And I would have to have lines and moments where I'm like, well, that's illogical, dude. So I don't know if you know how to build toilets, because you don't, and I do. So do you want me to do my job or not? And that makes Larry get into his second, which inherent inherently is going to be funny.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

So they don't want you to try to like, like, get a zinger, but they want you to, like, layer in enough real world comedy where it's, you know, you're giving him the. That, you know, you're giving him the, like, what the.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

So if you can give him those layups, then it.

[Andrew Santino]

Then he wants pushback.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. He wants, like, an annoyance. He wants conflict and every single scene.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

And that's the best part about that guy. That's why his comedy is. It's so simple and yet so particular.

[Mark Normand]

Yes.

[Sam Morril]

Simple scene, but it's extremely dynamic because you're like, this would annoy anybody. And I see why this pisses him off.

[Mark Normand]

Right.

[Sam Morril]

And then he's gonna take it out on other characters, and they're gonna be like, what is your fucking problem?

[Mark Normand]

Yes, exactly.

[Sam Morril]

He's not wrong. That's the best part about all that.

[Mark Normand]

I know. I completely agree.

[Sam Morril]

He was the man, dude. I, you know, that was like the. I got paid, you know, like a daily rate. We get, like, no money to do those. Like, it's literally like a minimum. And those are ones where I'm like, I'll pay you.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

I would have 100 pay them to be on that show. I said the same thing to FX.

[Andrew Santino]

About, well, let's edit this out, because we're already heading this way and show business.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, I know, I know, I know. Well, I said the same thing to FX back in the day about Baskets. I said, I'll pay. I was like, I'll drive to Bakersfield and I'll pay to be up there. I'll pay for my hotel.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

I wanted to be on the show.

[Andrew Santino]

Is Curb the coolest guest spot you did by.

[Sam Morril]

By far.

[Andrew Santino]

What else was. Really?

[Sam Morril]

Arrested was awesome. Whoa. Bateman had a scene together, which was great.

[Mark Normand]

I forgot about that.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, it was pretty cool. That was a cool moment. Super nervous for that, too, because Jason's You. He's really good, man. Smart and quiet. Yeah, he's. That was. Those are by far the coolest ones I've. I mean, yeah. Arrested in Curb. Probably Curb for me, is it. That was all I wanted. I wanted to do Curb once before they stopped, of course, and now they're done. You auditioned?

[Mark Normand]

Oh, it's a self tape.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got to be in front of. You got to be in front of them.

[Mark Normand]

I know. And it was Josh Raninsky, though. He. You remember him? He got young Larry.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, yeah. John. Oh, John Rainsky. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He played young Larry.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, he was good. He's a good actor.

[Sam Morril]

Should have been you, man.

[Mark Normand]

And then he dated his daughter.

[Sam Morril]

Zing.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, yeah. They just broke up. Sorry, Josh. John. John.

[Sam Morril]

Josh is even better. Sorry, Josh. Sorry, Josh.

[Mark Normand]

He looks like a Josh. He's Jewish, but yeah. Come on, dude.

[Sam Morril]

You look Jewish.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, I'll take it.

[Andrew Santino]

You are. You are.

[Sam Morril]

It's. It's. Honestly, it's enough of this mask. Just say you're Jewish. Why?

[Andrew Santino]

It's appropriate in our culture.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, it's getting worse and worse over time.

[Mark Normand]

Maybe I'll take a hawk to a quiz. She just found out she was 97. Ashken does.

[Sam Morril]

Seriously?

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

That doesn't help the. That doesn't help the industry plant part of this whole thing, does it? Oh, it just gives conspiracy theorists more.

[Mark Normand]

Firepower and the stealing money.

[Sam Morril]

Right?

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah. Of course. She goes down for a pyramid scheme. Dump whatever it was.

[Sam Morril]

Right, Right.

[Andrew Santino]

God damn it.

[Mark Normand]

That October was phlegm after all. All right. Okay.

[Sam Morril]

I can't believe people bid on that, too. On her bitcoin thing, people are. You guys don't have any of that crypto?

[Mark Normand]

I have a little. I just bought it when it got.

[Andrew Santino]

Big, and I think I missed the boat on that. I think. And I also. I don't like. I don't understand. But I remember doing meetings with people. They're like, just do one meeting with us. They'd be finance bros in those pullover sweaters being like, NFTs of your jokes. I'm like, you want me to sell AIDS joke for 7K, dude. Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

You know, like, what kind of on there with you.

[Andrew Santino]

What kind of grifter do you feel like? I'm like, I'm not going to do this. But they were like, you really. You can donate it to charity. I'm like, oh, these guys are like thieves. I can, like, feel anybody in the.

[Sam Morril]

Financial sector is a thief. Dude, these are the. These guys are all taking your money to make more money. And then they give you a little bit of money and you think, right, this is pretty good. It's like, yeah, dude, they're making real money.

[Mark Normand]

Exactly.

[Sam Morril]

You're the joke.

[Andrew Santino]

You're like.

[Sam Morril]

You're the pawn. So they can just take your money to go play with it.

[Andrew Santino]

But are the NFT still a thing? I remember they did, like, pop shot or whatever it's called top shot, remember, for the basketball cards.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, yeah.

[Andrew Santino]

Like a. Like a sequence, right? You own, like a dunk. It's the dumbest thing ever.

[Sam Morril]

So dumb. And the vagueness of that is why they're getting away with it because no one's really paying attention, you know?

[Mark Normand]

Exactly.

[Sam Morril]

You really don't know the ins and outs. I didn't get in it because I was like, I just don't.

[Andrew Santino]

And there's no story. Like, at least with an artist, you're like, this is Van Gogh's journey. This is why this art means something. This is Francis Bacon's journey. This is like. This is.

[Mark Normand]

This is tangible. This.

[Andrew Santino]

This person was influenced by this. It's just a thing.

[Mark Normand]

I know. It's not even an Instagram reel. Yeah. It's a virtual thing.

[Sam Morril]

It's great now that. That, you know, like, for years, people were like, you can't. You can't touch it. The NFTs. So it's not. It's not real. And now that people are hating on AI makes it even less valuable, which I think is good because everybody hates AI now. Like, all these digital and graphic artists are so mad. AI is becoming, like, a real true. They're fighting back. So if you own AI, it's gonna make people even more disinterested in it because it's like. Well, it's not. It's already a shitty part of our culture. You're just ripping away art from artists. So then there's not gonna be any validity to it because no one will want to invest in it. It's only worth it if somebody buys.

[Mark Normand]

It and there's a swing back. Now. Baseball cars are huge again.

[Sam Morril]

Are they? They're huge.

[Andrew Santino]

Really big ones.

[Sam Morril]

Don't throw those away.

[Mark Normand]

Yes, exactly.

[Andrew Santino]

Do you see the. We saw this the other night, the food delivery from just a robot out here.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, yeah. We have those all over the place. Those are weird. Yeah. They're not. Yeah, it's. I've never gotten one, but they're all. I see them all over West Hollywood. They're big.

[Mark Normand]

Yes.

[Sam Morril]

Not. Not big by me. I'm out in the suburbs. They're not. You don't see any of that.

[Andrew Santino]

Feels like we're in Blade Runner or something. It's sketchy as hell.

[Sam Morril]

Kind of cool, though.

[Mark Normand]

Take nine hours. I see it just trekking along. It's so slow.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, well, the food's always cold anyway. See, it's always going to be cold. It's never gonna. Even if it comes in a guy's car, he delivered seven other meals. Your food's gonna be cold.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, and also, you just want to push it over. It's probably like a chicken parm in there, you know? A hobo should be all over that.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, exactly. You'd be a good homeless guy. You'd figure it out fast. I can't figure it out so fast.

[Mark Normand]

It's coming.

[Sam Morril]

No, it's not. Dude. You're so far away from that. What do you mean? You just. Didn't you just get a new place?

[Mark Normand]

You just did.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah, it's a really cool.

[Mark Normand]

Four floors of horrors. Brownstone and bk, baby.

[Sam Morril]

You're in Brooklyn?

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Wait, I thought you were in the city.

[Mark Normand]

No, I was right in Greenwich Village. But I wanted the room. I got a backyard. Now I got a parking space.

[Sam Morril]

Upgrade. Upgrade. Upgrade.

[Mark Normand]

The kids are trick or treating on my block. I mean, it's a cheat code. I'm in New York, but I'm not.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, that's. That's Brooklyn's great. Good for you. You're still in the year. Yeah. You're in the heart.

[Andrew Santino]

I know I'm in the heart.

[Sam Morril]

I was in your building without your knowledge.

[Andrew Santino]

I know.

[Sam Morril]

I wish you snooping around.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

What a roo.

[Andrew Santino]

That's a good one.

[Sam Morril]

What a rooftop. Have you been there? Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

He's got a terrace. He's got a sauna. He's got a city.

[Andrew Santino]

Like movie theater. Doesn't feel like the city. I love it.

[Sam Morril]

Right, right. Yeah. No, that does feel different. It's not like. Well, you're not slumming it anymore.

[Mark Normand]

No.

[Sam Morril]

And you don't have to, man. You boys deserve it. It's good to see people on the. On the. Come up. But the fall is coming.

[Mark Normand]

We'll see on the way down.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. Studio apartment together and in the East.

[Mark Normand]

Village in a couple years. I can't wait.

[Sam Morril]

We'll be sharing.

[Mark Normand]

Those are some Good years. You know, a fat ch. Air matches while your friend waits in the bathroom.

[Sam Morril]

Tuesday, baby.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, yeah.

[Andrew Santino]

Didn't love being that friend.

[Sam Morril]

But you know, dude, I, I, the, the, I always say to young people when they all want to get their own place, I'm like, dude, go as long as you can. Yeah. Living with friends because it's fun, it's cheaper. You'll never have that experience that once that experience is gone and you live alone, sure. You don't ever get that.

[Andrew Santino]

Make sure they're friends you like living with, though.

[Sam Morril]

It's. At some point you're going to hate it anyway. But it doesn't, but it's at least like, think it's worth the camaraderie of coming home and seeing what people are up to?

[Mark Normand]

Yes.

[Sam Morril]

Because you're like, what are you getting into? Yeah. It keeps you out.

[Andrew Santino]

I, I liked having a shitty place for a while because I would just stay out and do sets all night.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah.

[Andrew Santino]

Because I didn't want to go home.

[Sam Morril]

Right.

[Andrew Santino]

I didn't mind being on the road 50 weeks a year.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. Because you know, home stinks anyway. Yeah, no, I, I agree. There was a dude on the Internet, one of these. I see him a lot. Pop up with the glasses, bald dude. He's like a life coach type of person. Whatever. But he's not, he's not like young, buff, hot life coach, get your together. He's not like that. He just gives like really cool pieces of wisdom. And the one thing he said is like, I say this to every young person is do not be at home. Be at home for bed. And that's it. He's like, be out.

[Mark Normand]

I love people.

[Sam Morril]

Go out, get involved, get activities, all the stuff. I agree. Because I lived all of my 20s, dude, I was never around. We were just doing same same. Doing shit, doing spots, going somewhere, going to hang out with groups of people. Now my 40s, dude, I'm, I'm home.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

It's over. I never leave the house now and.

[Mark Normand]

Think about the comfort we need now. Like back in the day, I'd ride back row, middle seat, eat cross country on a flight.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

Now I like, I gotta get in that lounge.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, dude, I would have stood if they offered it. If they were like standing room only, I'd have been like, I'll pay for that 100. Back in the day, I didn't care. It didn't even remotely bother me.

[Mark Normand]

No, we were tanks. It was a young man's game.

[Andrew Santino]

Body bounces back differently too.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, yeah. You could take Red eyes. You could eat. Red eyes were. Red eyes were great.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah, it was fun.

[Sam Morril]

Are you.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah, I'm stupid.

[Sam Morril]

Well, you go back to New York.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Red eye in New York is. Ooh, I hate it.

[Mark Normand]

Nightmare.

[Sam Morril]

I hate it. So, dude, that's like. I've had to do it a few times. You know when someone's like, we need you in the morning, so you have to leave, like, tonight?

[Mark Normand]

Yep.

[Sam Morril]

I hate it. Your whole day is.

[Mark Normand]

It never works.

[Sam Morril]

You can't function.

[Mark Normand]

You go all sleep on the plane. No, you're not a wink because you know you have to sleep. So the pr, it's like getting a boner when you need one.

[Andrew Santino]

We just don't bounce back the same dude. We like Mark and I've been running this set every night, like, multiple times a night. And I've been sick for the last week. So it's like, we. The IV nurse in here yesterday, we're bouncing jokes. She's like, not laughing. We're like, all right, well, this isn't helping the confidence. What are you gonna do? But we're, like, looking over to see if she's listening. She's like.

[Mark Normand]

She's like, please me in here. Don't do these jokes.

[Sam Morril]

The iv. The IV thing is the new revolution. I got an IV show. Douchey, but it does help.

[Mark Normand]

Wow.

[Sam Morril]

It was great, dude. It was awesome.

[Andrew Santino]

You went with Chappelle.

[Sam Morril]

[Sam Morril]

It was incredible.

[Andrew Santino]

Did it just open?

[Sam Morril]

I think this is like the fifth or sixth month, I think. But it's. But it's not. It's not like comics come in for the weekend, you know, it's like he just does shows whenever he wants to do shows.

[Mark Normand]

Right? That's cool. There's the mothership and then there's the. I never had a father ship. Okay.

[Sam Morril]

It was great, dude. Dave invited us out there and we did like a little thing for his wife's brother had. Had passed and it was like a celebration.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, wow.

[Sam Morril]

And I guess he was a fan of Bob and I show. Like. Like, yeah, it was kind of cool. And then Dave was like, would you come perform? And we flew out there and Dave was so gracious, showed us around and I don't know, man. He's the king. I can't say enough. Good. So it sounds like I'm kissing his ass, but, like, honestly was so rad. Took us around and we hung out at the, like, the lounge with him and Donnell came by, which Was great. And.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Talib Kweli. It was like. It was awesome, man.

[Mark Normand]

Crazy.

[Sam Morril]

And then the venue was. It's. It's unbelievable.

[Andrew Santino]

It's kind of intimate, right?

[Sam Morril]

It's. I would say it's probably, like, vu size in terms of crowd numbers. It's probably. What? Because. Views. Yeah. It's almost 300. Sounds about right. Like, maybe 275. It's in an old firehouse. And it's cool. It's like a great. It's. It's. I don't know, man. It's. It's wonderful. And they're so stoked that you're there.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Of nowhere. I mean, this is kind of like.

[Andrew Santino]

An offset of Dayton.

[Sam Morril]

Dayton's. I think the closest city got it. But, dude, it's. You know, he can.

[Andrew Santino]

Does it fill up just.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, it was. I mean, it's sold out. It sells out. Like.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, 275 is gonna sell out.

[Sam Morril]

It sells out.

[Andrew Santino]

I know, but it's a really small area. You just don't know.

[Mark Normand]

But it will make the drive.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, they all make the drive. Yeah.

[Andrew Santino]

It's like a destination.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, yeah. He was. He was hyping us up, too. He's so. He's. It's funny. He's still a comic.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

And he was like, man, he's like, y'all sold out so fast to make you feel good, you know what I mean? Where you're like, well, it's you. So it's Chappelle's Club, right?

[Andrew Santino]

You guys. You and Bobby.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, but I mean, us, it's like, it's his club. Like, he could put up the ticket and be like, I might not even show up. People will go to that club. It's him. So, like, it was nice of him, but I was also like, yeah, it's to see Dave Chappelle's.

[Andrew Santino]

What's the green room like?

[Sam Morril]

Unreal Tequila. Probably the best green room.

[Andrew Santino]

Really?

[Sam Morril]

There's two of. Well, there's an upstairs just for comedians, and then there's a downstairs that's like a private bar for family and friends and comics. Wow.

[Andrew Santino]

What's in the green room? What do we talk?

[Sam Morril]

Perfect. Everything. Name it. Whatever you need. I mean, like, a beautiful lounge TV for if you, you know, sports or anything is on a full bar. Anything you want, dude. It's.

[Andrew Santino]

It's.

[Sam Morril]

It's. It's like. They run that place. It's like a Four Seasons hotel. I mean, it's incredible. Well, it's top of the line.

[Mark Normand]

The store is pretty great. I mean, you go in there, you get free weed, you get free snacks. And there's a massage table. That's right.

[Sam Morril]

That's right. That is very. New York.

[Mark Normand]

Would never have massage table.

[Andrew Santino]

That was the most LA I've ever seen. Josh Adamire is the host with a giant dog on stage.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, yeah, he does it. He loves it. He can't do that in New York. No, the store is very. Because what I love. What I love about the store is that we do have a history of like wackadoos and weirdos. And that place was always weird, man. We were like. We were like home to chaos, you know, like Don Barris's late night shows and the Ding Dong show and. And, you know, every year I don't know if he's doing it anymore, but when I was coming up, Bob Zamuda, Whoa. Would perform every year for a holiday show. He'd do like a week in the main room.

[Mark Normand]

Wow. That was Andy Coffin's writer, right?

[Sam Morril]

Who, if you know about the history of Kaufman and the relationship between the character he played, Zamuda was like his best friend who would play. Play the character of Tony Clifton. I know this is inside baseball, but Tony would perform at the store during the holidays and. And Zamuda was doing it for a long time. But we welcomed chaos like that. Like, it was like, that's. The store was like home to really kind of like.

[Mark Normand]

It's got a circusy freak show, freak.

[Sam Morril]

Show, freak show vibe. Yeah, yeah, it's a freak show vibe where the seller is way more comedy business. Comedy business.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

The store was like, anything can go. That's kind of why I love. I love it, man.

[Andrew Santino]

Slaughterhouse now just as four rooms, every room. You're just like, you know, on top of each other. It's crazy.

[Sam Morril]

It's. It's. Well, I mean, I'm. It's great. The comedy's changing so fast too, so everything is so different now. But it's. It's a good thing, I guess. Like, I see a lot of young people now that I'm. It's nice to watch, like, new comics that I'm like, damn. Yeah, they're good. Whoever that is is really good.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Cool to watch.

[Andrew Santino]

You see anyone in New York? We were like, oh, shit. That.

[Sam Morril]

Who did I see that I saw? That was really. I mean, a lot of people that I saw in the lineup, I knew. I mean, I always give props every. Anytime I see Ryan Hamilton, he's not new, obviously, but yeah, I love that guy.

[Andrew Santino]

Killer.

[Sam Morril]

I just love watching him his rhythm is wonderful.

[Mark Normand]

He's great.

[Sam Morril]

So against the tides, like if the night was very like high energy, you know, and he goes up there and he like brings it at his level and he crushes.

[Andrew Santino]

I'm waiting for him to put out this new special.

[Sam Morril]

I love that guy. I think he's one of the best writer performers in his own space. That like, doesn't. He does not compromise. He's him all the time. He doesn't change his tone because the room is different.

[Mark Normand]

He recently got hit by a bus. I don't know if you heard about that.

[Sam Morril]

Made him better.

[Mark Normand]

It made him better. He's got a 30 minute chunk on it and it's insane. It's so good.

[Sam Morril]

Listen up, young comics. Walk against traffic. If you're looking for a new 15, he's great. But I mean, there was a lot. I mean, no. I mean, I saw a lot of people that. I was followed. I told you guys this last night. Louie and Rock followed me like three shows in a row, which was crazy because I was waiting for them to be like, hey, those guys are gonna right slide in front of you. And I was like, yeah, whatever. But they didn't. But then Louie stood and watched and redhead love. Redhead love, baby.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

For his first line out of his mouth on. On the show at. At the bar was art. The lounge, he goes, I used to look like that. Burr used to do that to me a lot. Bird be like, that's it. Yeah. When I was his age, I had hair.

[Mark Normand]

You're only here to replace me.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. Yeah. Your company's coming for my job. No one's coming for your job, dude.

[Andrew Santino]

You're fine.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, Burr is. Burr would do that a lot. But then Louie and Rock were back to back. So I just stood and watched those guys do their thing too.

[Mark Normand]

Too amazing.

[Sam Morril]

Awesome to watch, dude, he's still the best.

[Mark Normand]

You see, Rock's SNL was pretty great.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, I watched. I didn't. I saw just a monologue. I didn't see the sketches.

[Mark Normand]

That's all we watch.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, I don't really see the sketches anymore. I like Weekend Updates, though.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, that's good too.

[Sam Morril]

I was like those. Cuz they let people do a bit or a character, right?

[Mark Normand]

That.

[Sam Morril]

I really like this. Yeah.

[Andrew Santino]

When like Sarah Sherman goes out and just does something wacky.

[Sam Morril]

Dude, I love her.

[Andrew Santino]

She cracks me up.

[Sam Morril]

So funny, man. Because they let her fly, it's like. Yeah, they're not trying to put her in the this thing. They're like, just do whatever weird.

[Andrew Santino]

You're wacky and fun.

[Sam Morril]

It reminds me it's old school the way they used to let Sandberg and.

[Mark Normand]

Those boys go off and do, like.

[Sam Morril]

Do when they would do a bit sometimes where you're like, this is not hitting. But it's great. It's great because it's so weird and off and kind of wrong and bad. Right. You're like, who cares? At least they're trying.

[Mark Normand]

Sailor would go on to do Pickle arm.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

You're like, who the wrote that? And who approved that? But it was. It was like freewheeling back then.

[Andrew Santino]

But you. I have so much admiration for these people. Like, you know, I've always been a low energy act. So at least at Mike's I could kind of, you know, there'd be the obvious bomb because it'd be an obvious punchline, but at least I was low energy. I'd see guys like Nick Vadot who were so funny. And when he. But he. When he would bomb, he'd be like sweating for six people. And I'd be like, how that we always talk about, like, what's brave? That's brave.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

That scares me. When people can keep that high energy act up even when the crowd isn't enjoying it. I don't know.

[Andrew Santino]

But that's what they're doing. Like, it's either going to work or it's not, but. Got it. If you're doing sketch comedy, you got to maintain that energy.

[Sam Morril]

Well, I'm not talking any shit, but I remember back in the day watching Sebastian.

[Mark Normand]

Whoa.

[Sam Morril]

Because Sebastian is very like, animated and he's very like, it's characterized.

[Andrew Santino]

Sure.

[Sam Morril]

And he would do that even if the room wasn't packed out. You know what I mean? Like, if it was a workout night, he committed. He still would commit to that character. Which is. You got to be in on that character.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, yeah.

[Sam Morril]

You know what I mean? Like, because he's very.

[Andrew Santino]

He's.

[Mark Normand]

There it is.

[Sam Morril]

Thank God.

[Mark Normand]

Dude.

[Sam Morril]

I. Something to break this up.

[Mark Normand]

Wow.

[Sam Morril]

No, he's the man. But he. But he would do the same thing. I was always like, that's wild to be able to do that.

[Mark Normand]

You're fighting in a hotel.

[Sam Morril]

In a hotel.

[Mark Normand]

Who does that?

[Sam Morril]

You ever been to one of these hotels? They don't let you fart.

[Mark Normand]

You're wearing pajamas at the airport.

[Andrew Santino]

Aren't you embarrassed so much more than me? We ate. We've been eating the exact same turkey sausage.

[Mark Normand]

Got me.

[Andrew Santino]

I had it too.

[Sam Morril]

You got ibs. Maybe you are Jewish, dude. Yeah, he might be. You have crohn's Crohn's just coming.

[Mark Normand]

No, no, I got an iron stomach. I mean, I get it all out. The gas chamber.

[Andrew Santino]

There's Indian comics who do the black voice. I think Norman's doing the Jew voice.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, you are.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, that's good.

[Sam Morril]

You're Jew facing. Stop. Two facing. Dude, we're getting sick of it. Dude. We don't like it. We talk about it. There's a whole community about it.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, my body's a temple.

[Sam Morril]

Say something Jewish. Quick, quick, quick, quick.

[Mark Normand]

Back. Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, drafty in here.

[Andrew Santino]

My back, dude.

[Sam Morril]

Maybe I am Jewish. My back's hurt.

[Mark Normand]

You're welcome for the weather.

[Andrew Santino]

How bad is your back?

[Sam Morril]

Awful, dude. It's. What happened Sports, years ago. Sports injury. And then it keeps coming back. I just can't get rid of it. Well, initially I heard it playing basketball. And then. And then when I was. I was. When I was running, I re injured it on like a long. On like a long distance 8 mile run. I re injured it coming off of a curb. It was just at. In dusk at night. Night. And I didn't see the curb drop was bigger than a normal curb drop. So my body just wasn't looking down. I was looking forward. All my weight went to one side and I was like, holy.

[Andrew Santino]

There's nothing worse than getting injured. Like, had to get injured. And you're like, he fell, he fell.

[Mark Normand]

I know.

[Andrew Santino]

It's so sad because you hear this as a kid. You're like, fell, right? I fall all the time. Yeah, but I mean, basketball is the one when you get older because, like, my whole identity was like, I'm gonna be the hustle guy. I'll make. I'll get every loose ball.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah.

[Andrew Santino]

Like, that way if my jump shot's not going, going, the team's not mad at me.

[Sam Morril]

Right.

[Andrew Santino]

I'll hustle. But then you get older. You're like, I'm not hustling.

[Sam Morril]

I'm gonna get breaking it. I got dunked on. And where I was in not Charlotte. What's the. Oh, God. Why can't I think the room. The name of the room. Comedy.

[Mark Normand]

Good nights.

[Sam Morril]

Good nights. Good Nights. I was at Good nights and there was a YMCA like, right down the block. And I was like, I kind of want to go. I want to go work out, but then maybe shoot around. Because I know there's. There's always courts at ymca. So I go. I lift a little bit and then I go down there and I'm just shooting by myself. Myself. And this young kid is like, hey, hey, yo, you want to play?

[Mark Normand]

Oh.

[Sam Morril]

And I was like, no, man, I'm all right. And he's like, come on, man. Come on, come on, come on. We need one. So I was like, okay, so I'll just go fill space. I was like, I'll just pass.

[Mark Normand]

That is so scary to me, dude.

[Sam Morril]

I go over there, I'm like kind of involved in this. This young, like 19 year old, like, just jacked. Black kid just gets up and I don't even jump. I just kind of get out of the way.

[Mark Normand]

You know what I mean?

[Sam Morril]

And then they're all like, oh, oh, he dunked on your ass. He dunked on your ass. And I was like, dude, I got a whole life outside of this. I don't give a. This means nothing to me. This means nothing to me. Whatever you think I feel, I do not. I promise you, it's not happening. Dude, I couldn't care less. I was thinking about a cup of coffee. I wanted.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, exactly, man.

[Sam Morril]

I want to go get coffee in this.

[Mark Normand]

Going good to move out of the way because you get the nuts in the face.

[Sam Morril]

Stupid.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Andrew Santino]

No way. I. We did that on the last tour run. We, you know, we just pop into any rec center Y in the country and play hoops and we played a game with guys and we'd been on like a hot cheek. Not like just, everything's good.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah.

[Andrew Santino]

We play a game like the second to last day, and I'm. This guy I'm guarding, he's just like, he's got handles.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, he's cooking.

[Andrew Santino]

I'm going to get hurt. I'm going to get hurt. And I'm playing D on him and we're winning. I'm like, we're going to fucking win. And unlike the second, he had no jump shot, but his handles were so good that I'm like, I'm going to play up on him. Yeah, I give him space. I mean, so, yeah, let off, let him, let him, let him shoot. But he's trying to take it off. And on one fucking play, I just twist. I just roll the ankle. Ankle. And I'm just like, is it the Achilles? And I'm like, no, it's just an ankle. But I'm like, I'm out for days.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, you're done.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah, a little ankle. I'm like my. I. I take my shoe off and they're like, that is. Looks like a swollen.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andrew Santino]

Looks like those old Kobe shoes. Remember those bricks? Oh. And yeah. And then you have to stand under that night and you're just like. I'm like. I hate. I'm embarrassed.

[Sam Morril]

I don't want to be 41 and injured for one of my shows.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, of course.

[Sam Morril]

I just don't want to be on stage injured for a show and someone's like, what happened?

[Andrew Santino]

Like those jiu Jitsu guys who, like, have cauliflower year and then just do stand up. You're in pain.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also, it's the weirdest looking. Just wear. I would be the. That wears the ear caps or whatever it. Dude, I'm not making. These things are already big. I don't need them any bigger.

[Mark Normand]

With.

[Sam Morril]

With.

[Andrew Santino]

I feel like our ears get bigger as dudes. I don't know why they do.

[Mark Normand]

I think they do ears and schnozes.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. They never stop. Sorry, dude.

[Mark Normand]

The dick doesn't change, though.

[Sam Morril]

No, but you already have. Nice. He's fine.

[Mark Normand]

Is that right?

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

No, no.

[Mark Normand]

Don't they.

[Sam Morril]

Isn't that. Isn't that one of the rumors stuff?

[Andrew Santino]

Is he.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, it's skinny and long and skinny. Yeah, it's like him.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, I guess it looks like him.

[Sam Morril]

Trust me. Him and I go to the spa together. I've seen. I've seen. I've been down that road.

[Mark Normand]

Bag, big bag.

[Sam Morril]

Big balls. Huge balls.

[Mark Normand]

Huge balls.

[Sam Morril]

Which is funny. I never wanted big balls. Big balls is a thing that's very.

[Andrew Santino]

Hurt your dick by comparison.

[Sam Morril]

It's doing nothing in the way, too. It's too much. It's already out there on them.

[Mark Normand]

Bike riding.

[Andrew Santino]

It's a target.

[Mark Normand]

Yes.

[Sam Morril]

You pissing on your balls? They're ricocheting.

[Mark Normand]

No, mine are down to the floor. I got the bag. The long bag.

[Sam Morril]

You got a long bag?

[Mark Normand]

It's bad.

[Sam Morril]

I got a tight bag. Mine's still pretty tight.

[Mark Normand]

Women like a tight bag.

[Andrew Santino]

Do they?

[Mark Normand]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Stamp air maze on it. Women like a nice, tight and pricey bag.

[Mark Normand]

Nice clutch. Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Put the chain on it.

[Andrew Santino]

That would be a great tattoo. Yeah, Just get a nice little barcode on your ball.

[Sam Morril]

Louis Vuitton on my nuts. In la, it would work probably nowhere. Probably nowhere else. That's where this is where that culture is. Everybody here. Everyone here tries to, like, outshine one another all the time. When you're young, you see it a lot. Everyone tries to be like. Everyone tries to, like, outdo each other. And then you see the older la, which is like. Then nobody wants to outdo anybody. Then everyone's quiet about their success in la.

[Mark Normand]

I like that.

[Sam Morril]

Like, when you meet someone that's, like, very successful out Here, they're. They're about as like usually quiet and humble about it. You wouldn't even know. Yeah, you go to their house and you're like, holy shit.

[Mark Normand]

Well, you see Zuckerberg, he's wearing flip flops and board shorts because, like, I'm so rich. I'm good.

[Sam Morril]

He doesn't need the attention.

[Mark Normand]

Exactly.

[Sam Morril]

That's why Sandler dresses like that. He said, yeah, guys, I'm chilling, I'm chilling, I'm chilling.

[Andrew Santino]

But he's always been that way too.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, he never changed. Yeah, he's kind of the same.

[Mark Normand]

That's true.

[Sam Morril]

The same cat as when he was at the beginning. He's a. Another great dude that I. I think is such an underrated standup. Oh, that's such an underrated.

[Andrew Santino]

So fun.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, but I think people just know him as Sandler. They don't. They don't know he. I think he's such a good stand up.

[Andrew Santino]

I did a bunch of the live shows. They're so fun. They're such good shows. I mean, and the way he breaks up with the music, it's a fun. Yeah, that voice, like, we're all similar ages. That voice is like a staple in our childhood.

[Sam Morril]

In the way that. In the way that, like, we're embedded in people's ears because of podcasting. He was like the original podcast. Like, because the CDs were like podcasts.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, the CD.

[Sam Morril]

I listen to those things a billion times.

[Mark Normand]

So did I. They're all gonna laugh.

[Sam Morril]

Judy's kid. Yes, I listen to all those. Yeah, I just have headphones on walking around listening to that album.

[Mark Normand]

He made Jews likable. No, that sounds bad.

[Sam Morril]

No, no, no, hold on, hold on. Let him sit with that.

[Mark Normand]

For no white, no white kid. Like, you're not white, but no, like goy or gentile.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, he's white.

[Mark Normand]

We didn't know about Hanukkah. That song put Hanukkah on the map. I didn't know anything about. I from Louisiana, grew up in Louisiana.

[Sam Morril]

They're not. And Jews aren't allowed down there.

[Mark Normand]

That's true. That's true.

[Sam Morril]

Is that a sign? Welcome. No Jews. Welcome everybody but Jews.

[Mark Normand]

No.

[Sam Morril]

I grew up in Chicago. We, We. We have lot. Jews was Jew.

[Andrew Santino]

But Hanukkah. That was the first. I mean, we just had dreidel. And then he put Jews on the map.

[Mark Normand]

Exactly. It did help in a list of all the Jews. And you're like Paul Dunes half. Hey, all right, maybe these guys aren't so bad.

[Andrew Santino]

That was some good ass PR for us, too.

[Mark Normand]

That's right.

[Sam Morril]

That was great that he knew. When he named athletes, I was like, oh, no. Yeah, that's pretty good.

[Andrew Santino]

And all three beasty boys.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. But we knew. But we knew.

[Mark Normand]

We knew. Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Even then as a kid, I was like, something's different about these three gu. These aren't Irish pricks, like, from my neighborhood.

[Mark Normand]

You gotta fight for your right to kvetch. Okay. That's a long way to go.

[Sam Morril]

I was waiting for it and I thought, what is it gonna be? What's the third to kvetch? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That. The. He did. Sandler did a thing, though, that made being immature but still funny, like, okay for adults.

[Mark Normand]

Yes. Because it's silly.

[Sam Morril]

It can still be silly. Like, I like the whimsy of that. He's still being goofy and silly.

[Mark Normand]

Opera man.

[Sam Morril]

A lot of times guys get older, they just take themselves so ser. They start taking stuff really serious, and then you lose all that. Like, you know, I'm not going to name names, but there's guys that we know that they got older, and it's almost like, where's the.

[Mark Normand]

I know.

[Sam Morril]

Where's the whimsy, man? Where's the. Where's the. Taking yourself not serious? And on the. The wild, weird stuff. I think that's where comedy starts to die. When you get too old and you're like, I don't want to.

[Mark Normand]

Right.

[Sam Morril]

Like, when Carlin was at the end, he was so angry.

[Mark Normand]

Right.

[Andrew Santino]

Special is good. It's bad for. You had good. It was the second to last one where I was like, ah, this is this kind of rough.

[Sam Morril]

It was just. It was just. It was just kind of like, so disenfranchised with the world, and you're like, I don't know. I still kind of like some of it. Like, he hated everything. And you're like, all right. I liked it when he had it because when he was young, he was filled with, like, wacky whimsy. Weird. That's what I loved about him.

[Andrew Santino]

Why don't mice have shoulders?

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. What the. That's so great.

[Andrew Santino]

Like that.

[Sam Morril]

Such a good bit.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

I think that's what you. If you lose that in comedy, I think you're. That's. That's why when with Bob and I. That's what I love about the show the most, is that it's childish. It's so immature and childish. And it's my favorite time every time we shoot the show. It's fun because it's going to be goofy and.

[Mark Normand]

Yes.

[Sam Morril]

Stupid. It's Stupid.

[Mark Normand]

It's an escape for people, too. The world's all wacky. And then they. You watch that and you're just like, ah.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, dude. Because we had. I know. Because when all this Trump stuff on the podcast was going down there, did.

[Andrew Santino]

They hit you up?

[Sam Morril]

No, no, no, no.

[Andrew Santino]

None of the. None of the politicians wanted to come on Bad Friends.

[Sam Morril]

It's actually interesting. No, no. Because we don't do politics on our show because we don't ever play the game.

[Andrew Santino]

We avoid it wanted to be, like a fun.

[Sam Morril]

Well, what is.

[Mark Normand]

What.

[Sam Morril]

What did this guy say? Republicans buy sneakers, too, my friend. It's like the greatest line of all time.

[Mark Normand]

It's not wrong.

[Sam Morril]

Republicans buy sneakers, too, man. They were like, make a stance. He's like that, dude, I'm trying to get rich. Yeah, no, we. We don't talk politics because I don't give a. And I don't. I don't care to. But also, we had a.

[Andrew Santino]

It's everywhere.

[Sam Morril]

It doesn't need too much.

[Andrew Santino]

That's the thing is, like, we, like, you come here, and it'll just be fun comedy stories.

[Sam Morril]

It's. It's stupid. We had a. And this is not. Look, we had a conversation with someone about what if Kamala was going to do a pod run because she did a couple of female podcasts.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

They were going to be like, would you do a comedy pod with her? Not Bad Friends, but you two host, like, a thing with her. And I was like, no, absolutely not, man. I was really. No. No fucking way, dude. I don't want any of that shit. I would say same thing with Trump. I don't want him fucking on my show. Why? I don't want them on our show.

[Andrew Santino]

It's funny that they're looking at comedians to humanize these people. People.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. And I don't want to. These are. They're inhumane. These are all terrorists. They're all bad people. I don't want them on my show.

[Mark Normand]

I agree. I don't.

[Sam Morril]

I don't bring.

[Mark Normand]

Like, that's not even. She's an afterthought now. So maybe you just had her and now it's all over. It's a waste.

[Sam Morril]

I just. We were not interested, man. And they said the same thing. They were like, well, what a Trump. I was like, no, dude, we don't want. These aren't our people. Why are we pretending that they're our people? They're not.

[Mark Normand]

It's a good point.

[Sam Morril]

No, I'm not going to shill for these fucking politicians no. So. No way. Never. But that's what, you know, that's what we were. Bob and I talked about. Like when we do get offers for guests sometimes because we don't love guests anyway. Sometimes there are people that I'm like, oh, this is them just looking for a come up on our show. They don't like our show or know us.

[Mark Normand]

Good point.

[Sam Morril]

Give a about us.

[Andrew Santino]

You know, that is so funny that they kind of have to pretend a little.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, it's. Yeah, but they all do that. You. You can tell that like whenever these people go on those shows, not just politicians, but like super famous big people, they've been slotted into a show. You're like, they don't follow. Now you're just turning into the Tonight Show.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

You're just a guest on a couch and the host has to pretend like he loves you and you have to pretend like you love him, even though. Yeah, we don't know this.

[Mark Normand]

At least Theo, he gets. He's got some cocaine jokes with Trump. Like, that was fun.

[Sam Morril]

That was super fun.

[Mark Normand]

Like, at least he kept it funny. And you never.

[Sam Morril]

You never did cocaine, man. Dude, did you ever struggle, Dude. Now, I never touched this stuff. I did touch. Just a list of names of women. Got to play it up. It was. I mean, you know, but that's for. Theo is in that different atmosphere.

[Mark Normand]

He. He really is.

[Sam Morril]

He's like a conversationalist.

[Mark Normand]

Chalamet. I mean, he's getting a listers.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. I mean, you know, he's. He's plugged into the. He's plugged into the Hollywood pipeline now.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, we're so.

[Sam Morril]

Bob and I are slime. We're trash. Nobody really wants, like, famous people are. We had Cena and Efron on because I did a movie with those guys and they were cool about it. But whoa. I could tell that the PR people were losing their mind in the room.

[Mark Normand]

Really?

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. Because John is super playful and doesn't care and Cena doesn't. I mean, and Efron doesn't give either. But their. Their room was filled with all their PR people.

[Mark Normand]

I hate that.

[Sam Morril]

And they were like, very wild.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah. And they're just taking notes. Gotta cut this.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, well, we didn't have to cut. No. Because the boys were like, whatever you guys want in there. Because Bobby's gonna be crazy.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

He's gonna ask John Cena if he wants to see his. Yes, leave it in. That's funny, man. Yeah. And also those guys have senses of humor. A lot of people just get bridled. By these PR teams that think it's gonna hurt the. The. The rep of the film. It's like, no, it's not. They would want to see him be human.

[Mark Normand]

Exactly. And that's why comedy's thriving, because we don't have a PR guy here.

[Sam Morril]

Right. Well, he is right there. That. Yeah, he is. Well, we'll shoot him in the back, though. Turn around.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

That was cold, man. Why did you shoot him in the back? Just go, look at his face. Shoot him in the. Shoot in the front.

[Andrew Santino]

You think he should. He should have a good line.

[Sam Morril]

That's old Western.

[Andrew Santino]

Get your shine box.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, that's old Western rules, though. You can't. That's old gangster rules, too. You can't shoot someone in the back. That's cocktail. Cowardly. Shoot him in the front.

[Andrew Santino]

This guy's not a gangster.

[Sam Morril]

Be again. Yes, he is. That's the most gangster on earth. To wait all night and then shoot somebody. Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

That's a hitman.

[Andrew Santino]

It's not a game.

[Sam Morril]

It's a hit man. Right, but who was the hit plan?

[Andrew Santino]

Who.

[Sam Morril]

Who planned the hit?

[Mark Normand]

He did.

[Sam Morril]

He did. Kaiser Permanente, Maybe they're. And another health insurance company was like, go get him.

[Andrew Santino]

Damn.

[Mark Normand]

That's your people.

[Sam Morril]

That's your people.

[Mark Normand]

Even Mount Sinai, the Kaisers.

[Andrew Santino]

I saw someone say, like you. You tell these kids kids thoughts and prayers after every school shooting, and you expect them to be desensitized or not to be desensitized to violence.

[Mark Normand]

That's true.

[Sam Morril]

That's actually great. I don't know. That's very. Well, they do. They just had a Catholic school shooting two days ago.

[Mark Normand]

Another lady in Madison. A lady did it, you know.

[Sam Morril]

No, no, no.

[Mark Normand]

I think it was a woman. Oh, what? Yeah.

[Andrew Santino]

Woman shooter. Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

No way. Samantha something.

[Sam Morril]

Finally.

[Andrew Santino]

Sabrinascu. Finally, dude.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. Finally they got a woman as a school shooter.

[Mark Normand]

First one was a woman. First school shooting in America was a woman.

[Andrew Santino]

But we never hear about groundbreaking stories like this the other way.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, exactly. She's the Jackie Robinson of shooting.

[Andrew Santino]

First female shooter before her first female president.

[Mark Normand]

That's right. Well, we can't have that.

[Sam Morril]

You're right.

[Mark Normand]

Isn't it weird when you get along with a woman? Like, I don't want a woman president. You're like. But you're a woman.

[Sam Morril]

It is funny how many women didn't vote for her.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, yeah. Crazy.

[Sam Morril]

You thought. They thought, man. The news was, like, sure of it. They were like, it's gonna be a landslide.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

You were like, wrong way. Well, dude, all, like, The View and all these shows. Yeah, they did. They pushed.

[Andrew Santino]

That's a. That's a bubble.

[Sam Morril]

Well, you know what I mean? That's the problem with the media now is, like, they're so trapped in their brain. They weren't even. We had one of these betting sites where you could bet on the election. They sponsored one of our shows, and I was cool with it because it wasn't, like, aligned with the political party. Was just, like, bet on the election itself. I was like, that's rad. I think that's. You bet on anything else.

[Andrew Santino]

That's 7. I lost 7k in the new comptroller.

[Sam Morril]

But, you know, Department of Agriculture. I got clipped on, man. I shouldn't have done that. No, but they. But they were like. They showed the polls on the insides of, like, what the betting numbers are like. They show them on the website. Yeah, but they show them live. 5. It's crazy how many people bet on Trump. Like, the disparity was meant to lose. No, to win.

[Mark Normand]

To win. Oh, wow.

[Sam Morril]

Because the amount of people that were betting were probably betting were voting for Trump anyway.

[Mark Normand]

Exactly.

[Sam Morril]

So the numbers were so upside down, it was kind of crazy.

[Mark Normand]

Wow. But Vegas is usually right.

[Sam Morril]

Vegas is right about sports.

[Mark Normand]

Okay.

[Andrew Santino]

They know something.

[Sam Morril]

They know. Well, they do. I told you. I bet on the under last night on the Bears game and just snuck it out. Just snuck it out.

[Andrew Santino]

They know how to get you, too? Because I'll have a hot streak where I keep winning and then I just lose and lose and lose and like.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, it's planned. It's perfect. Perfect.

[Andrew Santino]

They know how to. They know how to get you excited.

[Sam Morril]

The only thing they can't. They can't get you on is if you're at a live table game. Like, because I. I'm a big blackjack fan, so. Live table games, That's. That's you. You can control.

[Andrew Santino]

You play on your phone.

[Sam Morril]

No, no, no, no. I only. I go to the. When I go to the casino.

[Andrew Santino]

You can't do, like, FanDuel out here, can you?

[Sam Morril]

You have to go through another. You have to go through other sites or. You have to have a guy.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, old school.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. Yeah. We all have a guy. Everyone's got a guy. You got a Luigi Mario? No. Yeah. You got to have a little bit of guy, but you can play. There are. There are. There are companies you can play out here. It's just as a little roundabout way of doing it. It's not as direct as when you're in a fully legal state, but the Irony is we have casinos out here. That's to drive into the. Into the.

[Andrew Santino]

We were just talking about that. Mark was saying, like, you know, Texas is all about freedom. You got guns. You can't go on porn.

[Sam Morril]

Pornhubs.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. Well, just get a vpn, my guy. Oh, I VPN my phone everywhere I go. A lot of work, no? What do you mean? It takes five seconds, you install it, turn it on and off. That's it. It's just an app.

[Mark Normand]

Sign in anything with signing in about.

[Sam Morril]

No, you didn't sign into the pornhub because they want your license.

[Mark Normand]

No, no, I mean anything you have to sign in for, like, with a password. I just. I just.

[Sam Morril]

Blank vpn. You put it on your phone once and then that's it. Then all you have to do is click on or off. And here's the wild. They integrate it into your phone. So if I go to my settings, look, free. See, it says VPN right there.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, wow.

[Sam Morril]

I can just turn it on or off wherever I am.

[Andrew Santino]

Oh, does that work to watch, like, sports, too?

[Sam Morril]

Anything. Everything I did, I did it initially so I could stream in a local channel if I was out and I.

[Andrew Santino]

Wanted to watch Canada or something.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. Or even if I was, like, in another state and, you know, they're not going to show, like, whatever game that I want to watch.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

I can just VPN it and I can still get the local feed or whatever.

[Mark Normand]

Whoa. Because Canada, you go there, I'm on the road. They don't have Pandora. They're like, we don't have Pandora or Venmo.

[Sam Morril]

But they blocked it. A lot of them learned because I would set my VPN for Chicago so it says where your set site is and where you really are. And I would set up for Chicago so I could watch Chicago local channels. Some of these streamers caught up.

[Mark Normand]

Damn.

[Sam Morril]

They block you now because they know. They're like, looks like you're out of your own whatever. I know. Do like, you're not getting enough money from me already. Scam artists. We all thought we were going to save money. We're getting smoked by all these streamers.

[Mark Normand]

So true.

[Sam Morril]

Whatever. Who cares? Take it from me. I'm going to die anyway.

[Mark Normand]

They're struggling to. These streamers. They're all shelling out money for this movie, that movie, then no one watches it.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah, but we are in downtown la.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. Yeah. Netflix is not doing that. Good, huh?

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, good point.

[Sam Morril]

No, but they don't care because like. Like, Apple is spending more money than ever, but they Sell phones and Amazon is spending more money than ever on TV and film. And they sell paper towels. House. Yeah, these companies don't give a. That's the problem is they couldn't. They're like, no one watched the show. Who cares, dude? They want to sell vacuums.

[Andrew Santino]

They really don't give a. Anyway, watch my new special Amazon, dude.

[Sam Morril]

I'm on Hulu next year and you know that same thing. I'm hoping it works because they're new to the comedy thing, to the standup world. I don't know.

[Andrew Santino]

I wouldn't want to be first. I think you're in a good spot.

[Sam Morril]

Hopefully, like I'm at the end of the year. I'm in.

[Andrew Santino]

They got all these big names coming up and then now you know. You get your film over there.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, I'm at the. I don't. Maybe it's around September, so I don't know the exact like month, but I did say. I was like, I don't want to be at the beginning of the year. Cuz they were like, how fast do you want to tape? I was like, not fast.

[Mark Normand]

Shows how cocky Gaffin. He's like, I'll go first. It. I'm.

[Andrew Santino]

He's not a huge fan.

[Sam Morril]

He's huge. He's also the. That guy's a machine.

[Mark Normand]

He really is.

[Sam Morril]

He's a machine, dude.

[Mark Normand]

Clean and just prolific as hell.

[Sam Morril]

Great when you get him one on one too. He. He really does give you a different side of him. I don't know if you've sat with him.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, I love behind the scenes Gas.

[Andrew Santino]

Flip my nuts.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, he'll give you a little flick, dude. My little flick in the neck. Your zipper's undone a little bit. Leave it like that though. I do want to maybe take a little sneak peek.

[Mark Normand]

Something falls out. See the gold bond.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. You powder every day.

[Mark Normand]

Not every day, but I. I'll get a little swampy so I throw some real.

[Andrew Santino]

You bring it on the road.

[Mark Normand]

Oh yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Swampy in December.

[Mark Normand]

It's bad. I'm. I'm bad. It's all Hunter Biden powder. It's. It's real bad down here.

[Sam Morril]

Where's the laptop, dude? Show us the history. Yeah, I don't do that. I don't do that. Because after that stuff came out about it giving people can cancer.

[Mark Normand]

What's that now your dick can get cancer?

[Sam Morril]

Talcum powder was giving people cancer, right? Isn't that a thing? God, no, it was. Oh no, no. You know what it was? Yeah, it was baby powder with talcum powder. Baby powder was giving. It was something about women. It was either breast cancer. It was like. No uterine cancer.

[Mark Normand]

All right, we're good.

[Sam Morril]

No, you're next, dude. So, yeah, there was a lawsuit about baby powder was.

[Mark Normand]

That's right.

[Sam Morril]

Bad. It was. Or it was one of the. One of the powders and it was given people cancer. Cancer.

[Andrew Santino]

Remember DePaulo's bit about that, about the playing basketball? Put it. Put the talcum powder on. I get a nice pancake batter going in my shorts. I go for a lay of a Belgian waffle. Came out of my pants.

[Sam Morril]

Who is that? The Paulo. Where's he at?

[Mark Normand]

He's in Georgia. Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

In the South.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

He was a New York guy, right?

[Andrew Santino]

Forever Big New York, Boston, The New York.

[Sam Morril]

Sometimes. Sometimes they leave. You guys will never leave. You'll never leave New York.

[Andrew Santino]

I don't think so.

[Mark Normand]

I don't think so.

[Andrew Santino]

I don't think I can. I think I get. I don't think I function well outside there for too long.

[Mark Normand]

I go back to the south for three days and I'm like, I gotta get the. Out of here. It's so slow and hot.

[Sam Morril]

I get that. Well, that. That's the South. South, though.

[Mark Normand]

That's true.

[Sam Morril]

Like, I could do Charleston.

[Mark Normand]

Charleston's beautiful.

[Andrew Santino]

Will you ever move to New York or is. Is Bobby just.

[Sam Morril]

You know, I want to, but Bobby's got a grip on me and he will not leave Los Angeles. So if the show ever.

[Andrew Santino]

Why does he like LA so? I mean, he's got a.

[Sam Morril]

He's from San Diego, right?

[Mark Normand]

Oh, there you go.

[Sam Morril]

And he loves Los Angeles because he's a creature of. Of habit and comfort, dude. He does. He likes to go at the same restaurants.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

You think we all forget he's 52 years old.

[Mark Normand]

Well, he can't even drop Kalila. Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

He likes his. He likes what he likes, dude. But he just is a creature of habit and comfort. So, you know, I get it. But we're also working on other stuff now, which is kind of fun. We were doing, like, bad friends productions.

[Andrew Santino]

Now, but it's fun to make, and we got stand up and.

[Sam Morril]

Well, that's why I want to keep making it on our own dime. I was like, let's just produce and finance it ourselves because then it's on us to make the money back.

[Mark Normand]

I agree.

[Sam Morril]

Then the risk is higher. But it's so much better reward than going through the system.

[Mark Normand]

Yes. And it moves faster.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. We make it. We did it. We had a meeting last night. Like, we. We saw the Space. We're lining up the. Lining up all the people that are going to be a part of it. So it's like we. We're in control.

[Andrew Santino]

Would you ever do like a live action movie with Bobby? Because I could see that.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, we try. We keep trying, man. We've had a couple people pitch us on stuff, but, like, it's got to be a really good story because, you know, nowadays everything is inundated with superhero stuff.

[Mark Normand]

I know the movies are tough now, but we're trying to make one and it's a. It's a process.

[Sam Morril]

It is a grind. But I mean, I think people do want us because they see us in these worlds. They want us to do the other thing.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

I think people don't know how hard it is to make it.

[Andrew Santino]

No, they see what's out.

[Sam Morril]

It just takes a lot of work to make something. It's so many moving pieces and it's hard. So we'll try. We're trying.

[Mark Normand]

We're trying.

[Sam Morril]

When is the tape? Tonight?

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Wow.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah. We're gonna hit the sauna.

[Sam Morril]

Should I go?

[Mark Normand]

Hey, we love to have you, but maybe I should go there, Jeff Ross. It's a fun hang.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, never mind then. No, maybe. Maybe I should go. Seriously.

[Andrew Santino]

If it's character is really funny, it's. It's gonna be really.

[Mark Normand]

He kills it.

[Sam Morril]

Well, he. Oh, he's not playing. He's doing something he's not doing himself.

[Andrew Santino]

He's a character.

[Sam Morril]

Come on, dude.

[Mark Normand]

Thank you.

[Andrew Santino]

Getting weaker. He's running out of steam.

[Mark Normand]

That's true.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, man. It's not like you used to.

[Mark Normand]

Man, my buttle is loose.

[Andrew Santino]

You. You on the road. You. Any. Any dates to.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, I'm doing. I do. I start the year off. I got. I have two months left until I tape my special and I do Chicago theater is my first one back.

[Mark Normand]

Just did it. What a room.

[Sam Morril]

So fun, man. It's so fun to go back home and to do it. It like, feels so.

[Andrew Santino]

Yes.

[Sam Morril]

Something about going home. So I do Chicago theater and then I do Durham and Charleston. I'm playing the Beacon in New York. For all you New York fans, you guys gotta come by.

[Mark Normand]

I'll be there.

[Sam Morril]

I'm playing the Beacon. I'm playing the Met in Philly. Wow. I'm doing four shows in Minneapolis. I'm doing two in San Francisco, two in San Diego.

[Andrew Santino]

Greg.

[Sam Morril]

So come out and see [e-mail]. this will be the end of a tour for me for a long time. I won't be able to Tour for a while. We're going to be working on shit.

[Mark Normand]

So I'm putting Minneapolis in like the top 10 comedy cities. No one talks about it. It's such a great comedy town.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, dude. I think. Well, I got, you know, we'll say it now is that I'm doing four shows there. We're just announced a four show and I'm gonna. I'm filming my special there.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, there you go.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah.

[Andrew Santino]

Are you filming four?

[Sam Morril]

I'm filming four.

[Mark Normand]

Smart.

[Andrew Santino]

That's what I did.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, I'm filming four, but I'm doing it two different ways. So the first night is one way and the second night's a different way.

[Andrew Santino]

Second night is a woman.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, that's right. It's me as a school shooter. So that'll be. Yeah, it'll be great. I'm filming it two different ways using two different teams, which is kind of a stupid idea.

[Mark Normand]

Interesting.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. You'll see when it comes out. It'll be. I'm just. I just visually, I have an idea of like what I think would be cool. Cool to. To watch because the jokes are bad. So come out and see me@Andrew Santino.com.

[Andrew Santino]

Awesome.

[Mark Normand]

Does that mean you're changing the order? Is that what you mean by that?

[Sam Morril]

No, no, no. I'm physically filming it different. I'm having like a different camera crew and a different director.

[Mark Normand]

Like, I think this is smart.

[Sam Morril]

I'm physically doing it different twice. So the first two shows are gonna be one way, the second two shows are gonna be another way for the crowd. It won't mean anything. It'll be the same set, same hour and 15 or whatever. But visually, at home when it's done, they'll see how different it looked.

[Mark Normand]

They both look.

[Sam Morril]

Look different.

[Mark Normand]

All right.

[Andrew Santino]

You're like, maybe cut back and forth a little.

[Sam Morril]

I don't know. I'm sure we're going to figure it out. I just. I just had this idea to do it this way and then if it works, great, and if not, we'll just leave it to traditional, you know what I mean? Like, it's kind of a win. Win for me to just be like, we'll play with it. It's my money. I'm. Who cares? It's like, I might as well try.

[Mark Normand]

Love it.

[Sam Morril]

You know?

[Mark Normand]

Smart. Yeah. Get innovative. Get weird.

[Sam Morril]

We might as well. Maybe I'll come tonight. But what time?

[Mark Normand]

Six, Eight.

[Andrew Santino]

Eight.

[Mark Normand]

No pressure. I mean, no, you know how that is. You got a class.

[Andrew Santino]

You saw our horseshit last night. Night.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, but maybe I'LL just kid up with an agent and just come backstage with you guys and just around backstage, hang out. That would be better. I don't want to be in the crowd, cuz then. No, no, it'll be too.

[Mark Normand]

A lot of work.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, it'll be a lot. It is. It is work to be in the crowd. It's funny. They're like, be. Be alert. Be awake. Take a break now. We're doing a reset.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah. We're grateful for those people who.

[Sam Morril]

Well, they want to see the thing live. It's cool to, like, watch the process as.

[Andrew Santino]

Dude, Sam Black audience. Remember, she gets. She would get you all the audience.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, yeah.

[Andrew Santino]

At the show. She's awesome. Old school new New York woman, dude. She would make sure that you wouldn't up the taping. She's so intimidating. Someone held in a pee that they peed their pants during a Jasmine taping.

[Sam Morril]

That's awesome.

[Andrew Santino]

She's like, you can't get up right now. And the guy's like, just pissed.

[Sam Morril]

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, his special was great.

[Andrew Santino]

[Mark Normand]

I liked it.

[Sam Morril]

I didn't see it. I don't. Specials are hard to watch now.

[Mark Normand]

They're hard to watch.

[Sam Morril]

I just can't do it. Even my good friends, I'm like, I'll see it. I'll see it at some point.

[Mark Normand]

Yes.

[Sam Morril]

But I can't watch them right away because I get the anxiety. It's hard. I get anxious for some work to watch. It is chunks.
