Cappians a brief history in human the amount of times that George has recommended this book to you
Yeah, no, but this this right here rings true because it's like I've ordered. I've always heard that like gossip
Like if you read the book the four agreements
The the guy says gossip is you know, I mean black magic and it's the destruction of modern-day
Society, right?
But if you're saying that this dude wrote a book called sapiens and he's saying gossip is dope
I'm gonna gossip the fuck out of where do your thoughts on gossip Sam
It's healthy if you do a decent amount, but if you overdo it, you're gonna be rough
You're gonna be a rough person
Yeah, like if you do it
I think it's healthy to get a little bit out because but if you do it too much you're fucking asshole, you know
Yeah, if you do it a little bit though. I think it's like a hell. We do you think gossiping is you know
It's like I feel like gossiping is like 40% of what I do on podcast
And it's also one of those things where you know, how many people hate me
There are people just don't hate you. They don't hate me, but there are people that are always mad at me
Like I'll get a call from Eleanor. I that was wrong what you just said really, you know, I go. Oh
Well, he just does this a lot
And we've had to talk about it in therapy. It's like the amount of embellishing
about
Another person who cannot then defend themselves is insane including myself
Like like if you do a roast you're supposed to have the other person there, but if you just shouldn't on someone on a podcast
That's like that's what all podcasts are. Yeah
Yeah, but you but you would think that because I've people have said talked about me on podcast and embellished and you know
I'm exaggerated
But I feel like it's just the language of what we do and it's I'm just I know but I just feel like it's fair game
Yeah, but you're shaping someone's reputation in the world and they're not able to shape it themselves
And I'm not making shit up. It's like if I said like if Sam left and then I go, you know Sam Morel like likes to suck
Dog dick. Yeah, but he just told he told me he liked to suck dog dick
It was a big dog and I thought
That it's dick was human life because of his size. So that's not fair. Yeah
Yeah, yeah, but I'm just saying if I right if I just randomly said that that's one thing
But if he shares something about he has beef with somebody I might share that information
Tell him one piece of basic information and you can go ahead and say how you would embellish it on a podcast about yourself
I sucked that dogs dick in the other room
Okay, mama mama. She's a girl, but
You I'm going off your all right, so you ate her pussy you ate my dog. You ate my dogs of vagina
Yeah, so what I would say is to embellish it would be
So we have a dog that no
No human the dog hates all humans. Yeah, it gets crazy
You you have to pull him back. Yeah, but for some reason Sam Merrill walks in there and the dog is completely mellow
Goes on its back and starts doing this thing, right and the Sam Merrill just starts eating the pussy
Starts doing it. Yeah, there's so many things about what I just said. That's wrong
Right because that our dog is sweet, but I would switch it so I can make that a story more interesting juicy
You see oh by the way when you went in there and you were you're talking to the person there
I thought I didn't see a person
I thought I thought you had to ask the dog's permission
That's why I was like all right. What kind of dog is this?
He starts tiptoes. Are you talking to the dog? Yeah, wait, wait, so was Jules hiding but she was just blended into the couch
Yeah, you know how she roll. Yeah. Yeah, and she's also shy
So that's why I was weird when you were like you were like it's fine
Did you really legitimately not see a person?
So I thought I thought you were talking to a dog. Oh, yeah
She that girl is our sidekick on the other podcast I do with Andrew Santino called bad friends. She's okay
You want a rando by the way? She's my niece. Yeah. Yeah, so it's not a human trafficking thing. Yeah
All right, so here are the rules on my podcast Sam sure
Just don't I mean we're gonna keep probably all this in but yeah from now on
Until I say your name
Don't say anything. I've heard yeah
From who my friend in New York City is a big fan. Oh really? Yeah, so you have a friend in New York City that listens to this podcast

You guys know Saramon anyway, let's let's move on
Um
We have a guest today. Oh and
You know
Our meeting was bullshit. I want to get to it, right? It was bullshit. It was Hollywood. I don't like it

This new breed of white dudes coming up is so impressive. They put chills down my fucking spine
Yeah, okay, and this dude is in that class of white dudes are gonna run shit
Right. I'm being be real. That's real dude. That's real honest my opinion. Yeah, Samarill give him a round of applause
Thank you. Why was it me? What was it? I'm gonna tell you me and tell me you and I did something bullshit, bro
What do we do? I'm gonna tell you
So I'll be honest with you. Yeah, I have never met you before in my life
okay, but
When we're at the comedy store once you were in the hallway
Right, and I knew who you were and I think you knew who I was. Yeah, so I walked up to you and we acted as if
We had already met before
I'm like, so you gonna do my pocket. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'd love to do it man
I'm in town this and that and we just thought we had this like we know dude
We had this rhythm as if we did the like I'm Sam. I'm Bob. Nice to meet you. This is that we didn't do that
Yeah, right. It was as if we just Holly. We did it like very Holly
I thought you were just I thought you knew that I was visiting and looked uncomfortable and were just being friendly
I didn't think it was Hollywood. I thought you were just being nice. Yeah, but it when you meet a human being for the first time
Don't you go? My name is Sam. I think I think for some reason in LA. I'm never here
So I think some people have just like messes with here and there and then they're just they just do that
Yeah, maybe it's Hollywood. I don't know. Yeah, I don't you know because
You know like Andrew Schultz when I first met him. He goes my name is Andrew, you know
Because it's just like what human beings do, right? Yeah, it's also a kindergartner
But here's another thing that I knew and maybe
It's gonna be hard to say I'm gonna say
You're great
And like I said before you're one of the new you know, but you're also a power couple
Oh, okay Taylor. Okay. Sure. Okay. No, honestly because in terms of female comics
It's just in comics and I shouldn't even say that because you know, I'm woke
I'm slept but woke at the same time
Sometimes I'm sleeping, but then I wake up. Oh, there it is. Yeah, yeah
And I and I and I gouged my eyes out and I go she is not just you know
She's one of the best up-and-coming from this side of the
The the country, absolutely, right and then your New York coming up there and then you guys are together
Yeah, right now dating. Yeah, is that out there people know that I mean, you don't like it
I don't I mean, I don't know. It's yeah. Yeah, but here's something else. So I know which gives it an added like power
When they're a power couple doesn't it or no, I think you're projecting your own dreams. No, I'm not
I'm telling you right now if Ben Affleck
Affleck, does there teeth the end of that?
Ben Affleck. Yeah, is that his name? You got it. Yeah. Thank you. That's what I said originally. I think so. I was wrong
Thank you if Ben Affleck's
Was walking down the street, right by himself. Yeah, I'm like fuck this Ben Affleck, right?
if it was Jennifer Lopez and him were walking the street there would be
So much paparazzi. Yeah from like the bushes and I would be pushed aside
I wouldn't even say that out loud because you know, I mean, I would be in such an awe of right
So I'm saying that when they're together as a power, right? It has an extra oomph to it does
Oh, okay. Is it you know, I mean a butter alone is okay. You know butter jelly, right, right?
Oh, when you put jelly with it, it's it gives it a different vibe. They take time off, too
They were too hot and like the early aughts, right? Right, and then you threw a little a rod in there
Right, you found out what she was missing, right a little fucking Argo in her life. Yeah
Yeah, so do you think that's what that's what happened? You think that they break up, right?
But is wait wait, so what's the girl that's in the commercials Jennifer Garner? Yes. Oh, yeah, right?
So was Jennifer Garner before J Lo or after after J Lo right? So honestly, this is why
Poor Jennifer Garner got the shit out of the stick because they were called benefit and then right after that
She got with you know, it's a benefit to like benefit 2.0. That's what she was with him
Yeah, but they were great their own name with them
Like what what's Ben and Jennifer together?
Benefit, but that's she could have been like jab or something
You're right, it's benefit yeah, but you would say jab you be like but it could have been benefit and she
She stole it and then she was with a rod, right? Yeah, so he's now doing something with Garner
She's with a rod a rod's the best Instagram follow in the world. What do you mean? It's just yeah
I'm missing out. Well first off. Do you see that picture that went viral of a rod and it's just like a rod taking a shit?
You see in his towel is I think his towel say a rod on them
Oh, no because someone if you could find that picture of a rod taking a dump. There it is. Oh
That's a lot that's a lot and he's in like that power
Dress I've never taken a shit with up with a button up
He's doing the Gilbert Galan style of shitting where his pants he takes his pants all the way down to his ankle
Oh, that's my style is off my body. Yeah off your body. I also take my shirt off if it's long
What I'm naked. Not me. I take it to here. That's a rescue myth. I I don't care
That's you do a hover squat. It creates a different game. Well, your legs don't even touch you open your eyes though
No, I have a little pudgy legs. You're who's squeezing out. Yeah, I
So such a well, I have underwear on so
Let's see what it is
Look at it. My asshole is in the in the hole in the toilet
My clothing is nowhere near the asshole. Why isn't this why do I have to take this whole thing off?
You don't want to spread your legs wider
Like see how you see how his arms are the inside of his leg because I'll tell you why okay because I shit
I know every time I take a ship shit. It's like an oh, it's like in the appetizer
You're what I just hear me out. I'm hearing baby. Let's get right. I'm just from I know what my bottom my body functions
I know the garbage that I eat. I know how unhealthy I am, right? Yeah, so the first load is just the prequel
right, it's like
Back to the Lord of the Rings because it's the only move I've seen right
Right, it's just watching the fellowship of the ring. So when I shit first, it's the fellowship of the ring
We still have the two towers and the return of the King, baby. Yeah, what are you looking at?
What does an appetizer poo mean because I'm just saying when you're when you poo
After it's all out. Yeah, right. You think you're done, right?
Yeah, I'm not
No, I think you sit there and you just like the sensation of the bedation up your asshole because you're stuck in some Freudian state of
Liking that feeling of your mom wipe. She's good. That was good. Are you a smooth? That's pretty
He sits there 30 minutes. I take a long one. Yeah, I was if my shits are like
a avatar, I would say all really long long big and
unpleasant
Right. Yeah, very blue. Yeah. No, I
Go I go wide stance. I think I go wide like like I'm asking a woman to stick her finger in it during sex
Ah, that's how I I respect that because I think that's the more proper way to do it because the country
I'm from we actually have to sit our feet on the toilet
Um, so it's like this
The squat heels down. Yeah. Oh my god. Yeah, you're giving a guy a massage or something
But that's how we poo at home. Why?
It's it's from the land of cats
Well, apparently it's better for your overall like digestive health to the angle at which it comes down I was told
Bro, bro, I better we're just I just realized something about you. Yeah
Yeah
you
Are a white kind of white dude that we've had throughout time
And just hear me out. I'm excited to hear this. I could see you in the band of brothers
Right the show. Yeah, right. I can see you as a
1920s
Baker. Oh, right. I can see you right
Giving sir William Wallace a sword. Wow, right throughout time. There's always been that face that kind of white dude
You were never a leader. No, no, no. Yeah, you were kind of like
The fifth in command like like oh and you said band of brothers. I'm like I ain't making a pass the second scene
No, yeah, you would definitely die. I'm not brave. Yeah, you're not brave, right?
Yeah, but no in terms of your face structure. Yeah, very bell boy 1940s
Like there's something about your face and your body. He's just told me ugly
He's like a very like a like like a service worker of some kind
I'm just saying look right like you ever seen old-in-time photos to say classic beauty
Yeah, you have a call timey face. I like that like like a film noir in the 40s or something
Yeah, like let's think of another comic that has that like
Like like I think, you know without the attitude
Jezal neck. Oh, right is one of those faces that you could see as a fisherman from the 1800s if you saw a black and white photo
Yeah, man. Yes. I'm fancy fisherman. Yeah. No, I'm just saying without the attitude
Oh, okay. Yeah, but without the leather jackets and the fucking emo vibe. You know, yeah, but like emo
He's like the most closed
Jezal Nick's emo. No, but he dresses very emo like tight
You know, I mean jeans you get stylish. Yeah, I like stylish, right?
But then there are white dudes that you've never seen throughout history
Like Chris the Stefano. Oh, yeah, Chrissy D. No, you've seen him coal miner. Yeah. Oh, really?
No, but like
Joey Diaz, he's not he's not white

Give me another shot. Let me give you another shot. I like that. You've never seen Joey. I'll tell you. Yeah, dang cook
I've never seen in 1800s
You get I mean dang cook Jezal Nick
I don't get how one is like you've seen in the dang cook
Because they cook looks like it look I think it's because he's I think he's done stuff to his face. Yeah, yeah, I see
You know, that's why you haven't seen that look
They didn't have Botox
That's why
Come on Bobby. Oh
I'm sorry
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm a shawty. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Let me think if I have another white dude that like oh
Here's a girl a white girl that I've never seen throughout history Whitney Cummings
Mm-hmm. Maybe the dye is that the orange in green hair? Probably maybe yeah, yeah, but I've never looked at like a you know
You know like back in the day like in the jazz years in New York in the 1920s
Hello, my daddy. Hello, my dad. You know how the white people used to do that. Yeah. Hello, my daddy. Hello, my baby
You know me all that and in the girls are wearing the fishnet
Stockings and doing that weird dance. I can't see Whitney's face in that. Can you or
Or Esther Pavinsky for sure. God's never made something like that before
Esther Esther. Yeah, maybe in the form of like a small Japanese boy. That's right. Yeah, cuz I feel like that's Esther
Hey, let's go back to you Sam. I'm sorry. I went on a fucking tangent
Which is what I do. Sorry. This is just the image of what's called. You see this Sam. Okay. Wow
Yeah, I dare you to just give it a try one time. So I feel like I'm gonna miss and just spray it. I'm gonna have strong
So the left is unnatural. Yeah, we're not supposed to be doing that. So, you know how dogs poo?
Yeah
Well, here's my options
The pole dancer Asian squat God the squat the pole dancer is a good one the break the break dancer
I've never done that. You got to try that one. I've never done that. I've absolutely done that
The lazy I've done the break dancer is emergency shit in public stands. I do the praying to Allah. That's a good stance
The begging for forgiveness is another good one. Yeah, or will that one you do in yoga where you put your foot like this
Oh, yeah, I think so
There's a figure for your four. Yeah. Yeah. Oh that just burned. Mm-hmm. Very good at it. Okay. Let's not talk about shit anymore
Yeah, yeah, I want to talk about you. Sure. And so I'm sorry for bringing up your girlfriend
That was because you're you're you're a powerful person on your own
And let's just go with that. Okay. So here's the deal and we talked about this earlier. Sure
How do you how do you riff so good I
I watch you riff it's like I go I would have never thought of doing that. I
You know, I when I when I'm on stage and I hear a heckler
You know, I you don't mean I do a face like oh my god, right?
And then I'll try to do a one-liner or something to get the fuck out of it
But you stay in the pocket. Well, that's my only that's the only thing I have I don't have
Well, you have all these other tricks like you can you know, you're a great physical comic, right?
I mean, you are I mean, I don't hear me. I'm listening to you. I be listening. I mad TV back in the day
I knew who you were before I was a comic. I love average Asian. Oh, wow
That's old school. Don't don't make me blush. That's a deep cut. Hey, that's deep cut. Don't make me block
No, I'm loving that. Oh, thank you, man. I mean you have other things
I I'm just kind of a deadpan in the pocket comic. So that's my only gear
Right, but the gear that you have is like
Like quick like your mind, right? It is like because I've seen I like you like it's what's the word for it?
quick
Right, it's like if somebody yells out like
Like I think I heard you do like a fun. It's some lady laughed weird. Mm-hmm, right? And then you were able to go
I don't know. I don't because I want to fuck it up
But you said something like well, that was the first time you left because I would have definitely heard that laugh
Well, the comics have said that before headbrook said something like that before I just I think I wanted a different direction off that
But yeah, I'm not accusing you of being a hack
Yeah, yeah
And did you just get into town or were you there for the floods? Oh, I wasn't there for the floods
I was on the road that was crazy. That looked like another
They look like another fucking with it was a movie. Yeah. Yeah, like this subway station like people were going through water
You guys are on fire. We're underwater. We should just meet in the middle and you know, right? This is crazy
And I told Collette with the other day I go
This could be like the press of like the beginning of like a disaster movie because of maybe global warming
I mean, we I don't know right, but they're saying it's the hottest
It's ever been in like Death Valley. How do you think you'd fare?
In in a lawless world. Oh my god. Horrible. Are you kidding me?
Look, you hear you just called me the weakest link in the
I'd be a disaster world. I can't drive
I'm pretty terrible, but I think that cars will be pretty useless at this point. Well, I can't drive them
I assume I'm gonna be a pretty terrible shot with a gun. So yeah, that's out. Yeah, but I think you could do this
Yeah, right. I saw this in a
That show black Sunday black summer black summer, right? So this woman has a car and
And I don't be offended about what I'm about to say. You're just like Jew
No, but I saw scene maybe if you agree with me or not, okay, tell me where a girl has a car and this guy
Knocks on the window and he goes
I'm not a criminal, right? I just need a ride. My wife is dying, right? Can I just can you just give me a ride?
She I don't how do I know? You know, I mean, you're not infected. I know I can trust you. Yeah, he's like
I'm a Christian. I believe in God and this and that right, right? She goes
Okay, she goes to the driver like the passenger side. He gets in and he goes get the fuck out
Yeah, right. Are you that guy?
No, I don't think so. Am I I'm the guy who would fuck her over you mean? Yeah, no
I don't think in a desperate situation though. Let's let's say like, you know, your girlfriend
Yeah needed the car, right? It's a two-seater
Right, would you do go to that length? Well, I just said I can't drive so no
Wow, you know how to drive. I have a license, but it was like a bullshit. I got it
I feel you know how to drive dude
You be in a car with me and you'll be like this is bad. Really? Yeah, I have a license, but I
Every I remember Joe list really funny comic friend of mine. I love them. Yeah
Well, we did a road gig once like 10 11 years ago and the deal was we split the driving and it was like
30 hours worth of driving gig-to-gig, you know, and I did 30 minutes. He did he did
Like you're a fucking horrible driver. What am I bad driver? Mm-hmm. Yeah
Yeah, New Yorkers stank a driving I used to do road gigs with David tell and he would he would drive
With he looked like a kid in a toy car. He would just keep doing
Yeah, and I was like, he's he's bad. He's better than me, but he was a bad. He's another New Yorker though
I know and you know when I was young
Him and I toured did yeah, and I remember he brought I'm not kidding you a
pillowcase as his luggage
It was like a mask for the rally
This is 20 years ago. He used to have like a pillow as it as it you could stick a stick through and it would be one of those like
You know it was like yeah crazy, and then I remember
Back then he goes we were in Texas, and he goes
I go, what do you want to do after the show?
He goes, let's go to the Greyhound
Bus station, I go why let's drink coffee and just look at the people Wow, I'm not kidding you
So we went to the Greyhound bus station, and we just observed people drinking the coffee
Like I've what a great guy. He's my favorite. He's he helped me so much, and he's the best guy
I remember we did a gig once in Territown
We're driving back and he's he mur- he never feels like he murders, but he murdered murders kills, and then he gets in the
Dry back. He's like I'm a hack. I'm a fucking I know and I was like Dave
We all think you're the best and he goes one better than you guys
I know
What is that about us that we do that because I'm sure do you do it?
Yeah, not not to Dave's extent, but like I do it. Yeah, I because you just for me
It's like I look at guys like that. I'm like well, how can I think I'm funny when guys like that exists, you know
Yeah
But it's but we all but honestly
We just have our own thing
For sure, and also it's like I think it's also preventative from turning to an asshole
You're like well, I never want to be like the cocky guy, but I also
You don't want to have too much self-loathing. You're unbearable to be around. Yeah, you want that balance, right?
Yeah
I had an opener once say to me and this is the last time I used them
I'm gonna say his name because he's gonna get really mad because I've said his name before
By telling the story. Yeah, but he said he's opener, right? Yeah, what would you do your headlining? Yeah, you bring a feature
Mm-hmm. He gets off stage the host goes up to bring you up and as you pass he goes
Follow that. Oh, did he make you smell his fingers, too?
That would have made me
Yeah, I thought it was gonna be way worse. You're like he raped the way
No, yeah, I follow that. Yeah, I mean
It's it's because I'll tell you why that disturbs me
Yeah, it's because already then you know to him it's some sort of weird competition, right? And it's also I'm
You're opening for me. It just seems
Is it me? I have an issue with like the opening act to try who's like their mission is not to kill but to blow you out of the water
Yeah, because then it's you're right. It's not about them. It's about you. Yeah, I think you get to a point
Like I think most comics when they're opening for too long
They get to a point where they're like, I'm gonna fucking make it a point and then it's like well
Then you should be headlining you shouldn't be yeah featuring
I had a fucking open like a local MC come up to me in Texas and go
I'm usually a headliner, but and I wanted to go well then go home
Because you're hosting I've had that happen a lot. It's weird. They say that to you. Yeah, well, they'll be like yeah
I'm this my off week. I decided to just you know, yeah, and you're kind of like you don't have to have a disclaimer man
I don't give a shit. Just go up and kill. Yeah, and it's also like I've opened for dudes like I mean
I want to brag but
Martin Lawrence
Right and he told me do five now. Could I do longer than five? Yeah, right? Yeah, right?
But it's like I'm just gonna do what I do and I'm there to serve him
Yeah, right and I and I know that he's a gigantic star
Right and that's I'm just blessed to be here, but some comics have this like
You especially it must be rough. You're you're you live in the Midwest. You've been in comedy for 15 years, right?
No breaks. Yeah, but you're not making them live in the Midwest move. That's true
Yeah, I didn't tell you to live in Toledo
Pack a bag and get fucking why do you think people don't do it move
fear fear but also like I think there's a comfort in being a bigger fish in a small pond and then I've seen great comics move to
New York and it's tough and they're great
So it just being funny is no guarantee that things are gonna be easy
Yeah, do you want to be a star in a d3 school or do you want to be you know the eighth fastest in a d1 school?
Right. Good point. That's true. I think the second
Me too. Yeah. Yeah, I think the second. Yeah, I mean, I remember
It's were you good when you moved to New York? Did you start in New York? I grew up in New York?
So I I it's weird the thing about growing up there and starting there is that people see you when you suck
I was 19. So wow, I mean people saw me at my worst and it's it's weird when you're doing jokes that are like
Kind of what you think or like oh, there's kind of a dark premise and you're bombing with it
People they just not only don't like your comedy. They're like you're a fucking asshole
So it's tough to to like well here's all the worst of me. Yeah, and this is what I'm just gonna be
But that could also be your perception of what you're going through
Because I think that like
Even when I was like young and in 95 is when I started and I would say cut
I don't know how to write a structured joke
I'm just kind of crazy up there and doing weird things and maybe some comics were like, you know
What do you what the fuck you doing there up there? It's you don't know how to write a joke
But there were certain comics like Pauly
Saw me as an open-micro and he came up to me back then and he goes
You don't know how to write a joke, but they're just something weird about you. That's interesting
Which is the kind of feedback that I like. Yeah, it's like, oh, well, then we saw you. Yeah
He like saw who you like. Oh, you see something unique in me. That's cool. Yeah. Yeah, and that and that's for me what?
It's cool about
Comedy right so in when you were coming up
I'm sure like cuz if I'm seeing an open-micro
Say something dark and they're committing to it and it's not working. I don't think what an asshole. I think
It's hard
The fucking thing. Well, Joe, you think jokes are hard at open mics
I feel like when something isn't obvious when with an audience, there's like a deal where you're like I pause
You know, that's the joke you laugh and open mic. They're like, we know what you're doing motherfucker
We know your tricks. We don't give a shit. All right
I mean, I remember a good friend of mine Gary Veter
He's got great jokes, but he I remember watching him just bomb at Mike's cuz they were just like obvious
Not the premise of the premise the jokes are great. Yeah, but they're just like we we see the mechanics
It's so it's hard to do bits at at Mike's. Yeah
It's such a it just brings me back to
how
You ever think how the fuck did I?
Go through that
So I don't know if I could do it again. I don't either just because the the mics
Suck I would hand out flyers instead because I would just rather
Do the handing out flyers and be like why don't I don't even people?
I don't know I felt more freedom to fail if they were just strangers
Although the looks you would get handing out flyers on the street were just the pity was just brutal
I remember a woman just looked at me and she was like, oh
Oh, just call me a fucking loser. Don't yeah, don't go. Oh, yeah
I was a flyer giver outer. I hate high school was my first American job
How was very proud you like LA fitness? I did as a summer job too for comedy clubs
And then I was like this is depressing. Well, would you have to I mean did you have to hand out the flowers for you to perform?
Yeah, oh my god. Yeah, and I remember like there were different places
you learn the how to work different streets like I do Upper West Side like a hundred and Ninth Street and
That was hard because no one was there. You're literally like you see a person like a block away
You're like hopefully I get that person. Yeah, you were literally go on stage where there'd be like four people in the crowd
You have to be like hotline up tonight
This person's here this person's here and then they'd be in the crowd them and like for their people and they'd be like your first
Comic and it would be me and you mother fucker. You you lied to me. Yeah
Yeah, no, but
If you like a when you're passing out flyers, is there a chance you you're not gonna perform because you didn't pass enough flyers out
Yeah, I saw this good friend of mine Dan Saint-Germain
He did it once and you have to do it two hours. It's the first time I met him
Yeah, probably like 14 years ago or something and he's hand out the flyers and he goes yeah, I think I'm good
And the guy goes you don't have to do 10 more minutes and go on he goes no no
No, I think I think I got I'm good. I was like, I've never seen a human being put themselves through that for nothing
I was like you put yourself through an hour 50 minutes for no money for no stage time. Yeah, he was just like I can't I can't do this
Wow
In LA we're not we do bringer rooms here. Well, you can't fly on LA. There's no yeah. Yeah, there's not enough foot traffic
Oh, yeah in New York at Times Square was not as bad to bark there because
There were so many people that would go by more quickly
What are these easier though is because bringer rooms in LA are like you can't perform unless you bring 30 people 30
I mean, that's what you run out of friends quickly
I had friends who were like I'd be like coming to my show and they're like I'm not watching all those shitty
They're fine watching you bomb, but like the other Luna tick
The three of them are like fucking mental patients that are never gonna do it again
Yeah, and the problem with open mics is too is because you're mixed in with the crazies and the homeless sometimes
Like when I started open mics in LA in 97 or 98 when I moved here, there was half of them were homeless
Right people just street people. I would love to see that show
But you would have to you think yeah, but then they go on and it's like nonsense and you're like I don't want to follow
I don't want to live in this like
It's I'm it becomes craziness. I'm with you
It's you have a guy like Robert William Appravaya and he still does him. He's in a green suit. Yeah
And they're doing their own stage right
Do a different language right my time and the audience is like
Five minutes of this. Yeah, I know you look I had no problem bombing
You're like I can handle bombing but they'd be reading the open mic sheet like all right your next comic a BTK serial killer
It would be like and then you're like I have to sit through this shit. Yeah, yeah
Wait speaking of BTK serial killer, please pull up his a sketch of the sketch of him. What is it called? Really?
BTK sketch of BTK fine torture, whatever
Did you get this cookie is yeah, these are the best cookies you really have this before yeah
I want you to tell me who you think these are the best. This is a sketch of the real BTK killer. Yeah
Damn
Holy shit
Holy shit, yeah, bro damn
Well, you got a new podcast logo
Merch
Honestly, that's a real sketch of the BTK Carol. That is incredible. That is incredible. Wow. That was in New York
Where was it?
Sure, where did BTK to do his killings sure? Yeah. Yeah, I thought I was
I'm not actually sure baby. Yeah, his daughter. He's like a daughter all these serial killers have daughters who are like
They always had I don't know if you watch the show the one we loved David Lynch one
Twin Peaks only had two seasons on netflix mine hunter mine hunter. I'm good. Yeah, you're really good
But most of them carried on like regular relationships like had children
I mean even I hate to say our favorite guy
But Richard Kuklinski
He was like a mafia hitman and he was his sociopath killed a lot of people in cold blood
But he desperately loved his family like he loved his kids so much and but you're right. They always have
Regular lives outside of the killings. I mean Dahmer had a had a wife right or girlfriend or not Dahmer
Ted Bundy. Yes. Yeah, but also Dahmer had a dad
Who loved him so much in fact when he was on trial Dahmer's dad came every day
And you know and sat by his son and supported his son. I think the mom bailed, you know, but it's like
These people have is that what you wanted out of your dad what that kind of love you always reference like the
That the Dahmer dad son love
Yeah, is that what you wanted? That's what I wanted on my dad
Because it's I like I got
It's one of those things where if I went on a serial killer rampage
That if I and I got caught I think my mom would show up
I don't know if my dad would
At the court cases my dad didn't show up in general
No, I don't know what happened. No, I have a great dad but my biological dad just split when I was like, you know
Brand new oh
You think he'd show up to all your court hearings. Yeah, maybe maybe cuz he'd be my my dad my actual dad raised me
Yeah, I think he would he's a he's a great guy. Well, your stepdad raised you. Yeah, and so I call him dad
He's okay. I know but he's still your stepdad. No, yeah in case he's listening
Our stuff forget that your dad loves you, right? Yeah, but your biological dad. Yeah
When you're a kid, I won't say his name. I'll say it backwards Bob
Oh
So when you're a kid and when okay, when was your dad introduced into your life?
Who who who raised me? Yes when I was like my mom met him when I was like four or five probably
Okay, so before that though, you didn't have a father figure
No, no grandfather was around but right as a kid at that age. Are you aware that you don't have a dad?
No
Because your mom probably gave you everything right? My mom ruled. Yeah. Yeah, I have the most overbearing Jew mom
Like you don't even like worries more than anyone, but like I see like worry is love because
So now Taylor's like Taylor's like, are you okay? Did you land safely and I'm like, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he sees it as just a nuisance every time. I'm like, you know, are you there safely?
He's he's just like yeah fucking you know because she acts as if like it's a miracle that I got there
That you get anywhere, but it's not it's like
Even when we're driving sweet sweetie, it's like I don't get in car accidents that often
How many car accidents I've got two or three times a year, right, but I drive every day, right?
I've never hit a human one time
One time that got that case got settled don't ever bring it up again. Anyway, um
So as a kid you didn't
You weren't aware that your dad was gone. No, this guy comes to your life when you're four or five. Yeah, totally cool
Yeah, he's the best he moved in. Yeah, well, we moved in with he is too good
So we moved in with oh and so then did you get along with you?
Your steps. Yeah. Yeah, I like them. I mean your brother. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
I see more of my brother because my sister's got three kids and she's like a
High-powered lawyer, so not a lot of free time, but uh, there's love there like you could call her if you
Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, can we talk about your bio dad? Oh, yeah
You're one of our favorite shows we should preface this by saying one of our favorite shows is that
Re-um children reunited with her biological parents and so Bobby and I bond when we watch a show we cry a good cry
We fuck we fucked her. No, that's 600 pound. Oh, yeah. Yeah
We fucked during
But um
When did you start feeling because I'm so curious about because I think this is the root of
Why maybe we do comedy this, you know, I'm minds from trauma
Yeah, yours is maybe through abandonment or something. I don't know. Yeah, I saw your episode. We were talking about it on Burt's thing
Oh, yeah, the cabin. That was the cabin. Yeah. Yeah, so
When did you realize did you care?
No, you know, I didn't realize so I was like I
Didn't care because I liked my situation
But I I realized when I was like 19 or so I was dating this girl and both her parents were psychiatrists
So she was one of those we're like everything was like, you know, we'd be arguing she'd be like who you really yelling at and I'd be like
So unfair
But it worked and I was like, I guess I gotta meet him
Yeah, you fucking shame me into it. You can meet him. Yeah, how?
Well, he left a note in like a safety deposit box
No, no, really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wait, wait, wait, wait
It's the episode. This is sounds like that's a great premise of a show. Yeah. So what safety whose safety deposit box?
It was like in the bank
Yeah, like in like it's Switzerland like when you want your money like on track. Oh, yeah
So so my mom was like, yeah, he left a note if you want to meet him. So so what did the note say?
I don't remember some bullshit
But he left it a long time ago and then you finally read it. Yeah, right and then he had a number
No, but my mom's I can find his number. All right. Yeah, so then you call them. Yeah, you're uncomfortable
No, not at all. No, he was he was taking a shit apparently when I called him
He was a guy crap. What is it? You know, and then hey, I was like, oh, hey, I'm Sam. I'm you know
Your biological son, you know take and he was kind of like, oh
Like okay, and then we he said, what do you want to meet for coffee or something? So we did and how was it?
It was good. It's weird to see someone who looks like you like, you know, I'm like, oh shit. He looks like he's old
He's very old, you know, yeah, I mean he's like mid-80s now problem. Oh, wow. Yeah, and I remember we
It was good
I mean it was you kind of spend less time because it's like at first like this is crazy
There's a and then at a certain point you're like, well, I have a better dad who stay like this is the real dad. Yeah. Yeah, but like
Now that you're successful, yeah
You you would say you're successful, right? You're killing it. Thanks. Would he
Has he contacted you and said no, I mean we he has my number. He lives like seven blocks from me
So he's oh, so it's like I've had awkward like oh, hey, what's up on the street?
Bye, oh, yeah, maybe won't maybe won't see me if I walk this way, you know
Oh, you if you saw him you would avoid him. Well, no, we had a couple we go to the same rec center like he
He would go for no and I would go for
For just like to swim laps. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and so I would see him there
I would see and it was always like, oh, hey, what's up, man? How you doing?
He's like, how are you, you know, but there were times when we like, you know
I went to like a couple like Christmases they had his wife is Catholic so they do Christmas. Yeah, and
Yeah, we're fine. We're cool. I mean, we're fine
Yeah, it's just hard to like how many you realize like when you're on the road all the time
How many relationships can you maintain and I'm like why I struggle to see my own family?
They live in New York, but like so it's kind of like how much room do you have and then yeah?
I mean, that's probably a bad excuse. He's seven blocks away, but I told you guys the geography
No, but it's also I mean, I mean what it's emotionally a lot and and and I don't I do see the irony of like me having to now take care of him
So, all right, so that's not a loss to me, but we're we're fine
It was like one of my first jokes that people would be like. Oh, is your biological father a good good dad?
And I was like if I were I probably wouldn't refer to him as my bio
Yeah, yeah, did he have children on his own? Yeah, he's got a he's got a son. I've never met I
I he lives out here. I've never met him. He's we look a lot of like I did the Facebook search and
Yeah, we look a lot of like and I
Different last name then yeah different last name, but I remember I asked him once I was like, yeah
I'd love to meet him some time. He's up for it. He's like, yeah, you know, I floated it out there and I didn't really take to it
I mean, yeah
That hurt me
It sucks. Oh, I have another question to ask him. Sure. Why?
Why did you why did you do America's Got Talent I think desperation I think just like any I love the show by the way
Oh, I don't I know because I just hung out with Howie four days ago. He's a great guy
Love him. Great. Really. Howie Mandel is a solid dude
And there I know a lot of comics that have done the show, which is I feel like it's right for them
Yeah, it's not right for me
I'll be honest. Yeah, I don't wait. I don't want to fight with you
Right. Yeah, I don't think it's right for you
He just I know I'm just
They're gonna fight now. No, he you know what the problem was that show is it's a nightmare people
I was I think it was like six years ago or something and I was kind of like I just want to sell tickets on the road
I'll do why I want people to come. I just want people to see my stand-up and
And I was doing a lot of road gigs. I was doing like a headliner dates, but papered rooms, right?
So those are tough to build an act. It's hard to write an hour of material when they're not your people and
So I did a GT it sucked
I remember auditioning for and they're like, all right, we're gonna we're gonna see you through and then
and then I literally it's I did the thing out here in Pasadena and
It was like a five thousand person theater. Wow Nick Cannon's like interviewing me
I'm making jokes. He's like he's acting sincerely like I'm like these are jokes. I'm fucking making jokes. Yeah, but then I
Remember going on. I'm freaking I get anxiety in these things like are you I when I watch the show
I always know oh, I never been able to do that the pressure. It's awful
I mean I had already done last comic standing and I hated that and oh my god
You realize to these shows are all about casting so I had a good set on last comic and they just didn't move me on
They were like, we're gonna not and I was like why yeah, but so I I'd been through that already
But I was like I'm desperate. I'll do whatever it takes. So I remember doing a GT
Just freaking out backstage and I'm texting my mom like I'm freaking out. She's like read a book. I'm like mom
Read a book
There's two fucking fat slobs from Atlantic City dancing Mambo number five
You want me to read like I think like I can just focus like eight like last comic standing sucks
Cuz you're around comics and their anxiety, but you're around all walks of life and I can't imagine
There's like a talking parakeet right next to me
And I feel guilty too because there's like dance troops like I'm a comic I can go on drunk
These people are stretching. They're like, they don't know
It's another thing is is that like I've done like festivals with other comics, right?
Oddball or whatever and if you're nervous or whatever you have other comics to like go to and go
You know and and they can give you like, you know, you just you're around your people. Yeah with you
You're with the fucking the ninjas. They're doing some sort of dance routine. It's brutal
It's brutal man. I remember and they would fuck with you
They want you to be a wreck because it's good TV. So they come in to be like Simon Cowles in a bad mood today
What and oh they'd be like Simon he's he hasn't eaten yet. So he's very I'm like feed him
Why can't you like there's food around did you meet him? Yeah, okay?
So the first round it's in that big theater and I literally watched two really nice
Orthodox Jews dance like do a rap thing. I thought it was pretty good and I'm watching them and Simon's like you're dreadful
You're terrible. You're never gonna be anything and people were like boo. So I'm like, oh fuck this is I'm going on to this
The cat the what it was like a supervisor or something there and she's like do this joke. I like this joke
I'm like, I'm not doing that fucking joke. Yeah dark jokes. They're gonna boo me off
So she's pushes me out there. I go out and they're like I can tell they just want to eat me alive. So
By they I mean
Simon yeah, and he was like so like give me your worst gig ever and I'm just like alright
So I tell this story about a guy getting up out of the crowd and spitting on me
Yeah, and I figure like maybe this will get them on my side a little bit
Yeah, and I end up they all Simon even says well, I hope this is better and I was like all right
Maybe I softened them a little bit. Yeah, that goes great. I feel pretty good about it
It was like a standing ovation in that room if there's a hilarious clip of it where they cut it up for the thing
Yeah, and it's me telling a fart joke and it just cuts to all the judges giving me a stand
And it's like
They're like they're like well done. I'm like man. My mom is so ashamed of this
Yeah, so I I'm like wow that couldn't have gone better. I get out there like all right
We'll see if uh if you move on in the next round. I was like they just told me I moved on like well
That's not how it works. I'm like I got four yeses
So that anxiety so now there's the anxiety of like we might not air this right you put me through that and it might and it went
As well as possible evil. It's evil and then they like a month later
They're like you're in for the next round. So like all right. I fly out. It's like classic. Did they fly you out?
No, they don't they don't fly. They don't fly. They don't even pick you up at the airport
I was like my manager at the time like where are they like oh, they're not getting you. I was like I've been here an hour
What the fuck oh my god, so then I get to the hotel. There's construction
So I don't sleep at all the night like they wake up they wake us up like the construction wakes you up at like 8 a.m. I
I'm anxious. I have no sleep. They get me there at 10 a.m. I go on at midnight
So they're just fucking with me for like 14 hours. I go on I follow some Destiny's Child like knockoff and they
Simon eats him alive. Yeah, and I
I go on after them. Are these these aren't the live shows yet, right? No, I'm not it's not a live show yet
Yeah, I go on and Simon was like I do well. I got it. It's like two and a half minutes
I got like two applause breaks. Yeah, I'm hitting pretty not as well as the first round was it more juice crowd
It's not midnight. Yeah. Yeah, you know and
George Lopez one of the judges was nice enough guy was like I thought you did well and
Simon was like I liked you I liked you better in the first round and I was like
I mean it was a better crowd like I don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so I kind of don't have much and then
They they put me up against a mime named tapeface who was incredible
Crushed it that guy's awesome. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's hilarious that my mom was even like you had our vote
I'm like, well, I know you didn't go
No, he was great and and very nice guy too. Yeah, I remember I think he just took a residency in Vegas
If you're in Vegas, you just see him
He's really great and I remember they put us against each other and we both did well and they were like people
But they were like we can't have two of you. All right, so they they eliminated me
But did the air that stuff there those the first two they combined into like one long segment
But it got like it's like back then it was like 10 million views. Oh, so even that one spot was like, you know something
Yeah, man, but it doesn't
It's just you're right. It's not a loyal audience and it's not it's really not the right look for me
if it's it's but
The reason why I say that is
There are certain acts I've seen where it's like either they're in a print impressionist, right, right?
Or they have a character sure, right and you know
And when I used to see these people at clubs and stuff
I'd just be like it's not the right environment for that type of act even a comedy club because comedy club
Especially if you're at the cellar or at like, you know the comedy store or whatever, right?
It's like they like traditional stand-ups. Yeah, like what you are, right?
And also you're very relevant and I think you're edgy, right? Yeah, what I said, thank you. Yeah
So when I saw you on American God because I love the show, right? Yeah, it's like wow
That's interesting because it's like I don't see you in that world. Yeah, I think I was just desperate
I think you know the the clubs got hard like those funny bones. Yeah when now and it's my people
It's great, but like back then it was they were really rough
I remember walking audiences just because they just they didn't they had no investment
They got free tickets, so they would just be like you suck. Fuck you. Well, yeah, the funny bone in Columbus, I guess
That's the best one. I actually haven't done that one. Yeah, I mean, I don't know what happened
I used to do it every year and then one year. He just says I don't want him anymore
And I don't know I went to like five years in a row and then Stroop, which he's a nice guy. Yeah, but he's like
I was just dead to him, you know, it makes me sad, but you're doing great. Thank you
But um Hitch Hedberg
Hedberg headlined that room. Mm-hmm and then Stroop
Switched him. He said to Hedberg. It was a Friday night and first that night. He goes. I want you to feature
the Hedberg and the Hedberg left and then Doug Stanhope wrote some sort of like manifesto online
I'm gonna hop in. Yeah, he did. Yeah, because it was so insulting
But it's like if people don't understand the road because at that time I don't think like, you know
I think Stanhope became a legend after his passing
It kind of grew. Yeah, Hedberg dead, right? But before that Doug is alive. No now
Who am I talking about? Hedberg. Yeah, Hedberg is the one that was switched. You make it. Yeah, I start over then
Let me start it all right. No, let me start it over because I don't think we're clear
Okay, so can you cut part this? Yeah together edit. He's got it. You got it. Anyway, so
Where are they?
Hedberg got switched. Hey, man
So let me try
Is that the funny bone? Yeah, a long time ago
You don't have to go that far back in the story. The only part we're gonna keep all this by the way
We'll keep all this. I'm not gonna tell it again. Okay. I don't give up because I think I did it the right the first time
No, no, no, you didn't he was confused. Didn't you think Doug Stan? He said Doug Stan. No, you said it right
And then I think you just said
Stanhope became more relevant after he died instead. Oh
So let's just get let's just go to let's just okay
So Hedberg did it. Yeah, they were they they wanted to sit them out. He left town
Stanhope wrote an op not a manifesto, right? Yeah, but then Hedberg became more famous
I think after he died so because before you know, he didn't have half the audience was like unknown
They didn't know who he was and it definitely I think that in a packed room of people that are Doug
I mean Doug Hedberg fans. Yeah, he would destroy for sure, right?
But imagine being somebody that like hey, honey, let's just watch comedy
I don't know who the performer is but yeah, right and just showing up and there's a big difference
That doesn't want to go back to you is is that like for me, you know, I used to get like half mad TV
Fans and half people that didn't who the fuck I was right and I would walk a lot of people as well
Yeah, I remember being in
Fort Lauderdale and
Comping like 35 tickets a whole family of people just got up and let they go
Well, you don't want to see you know, I mean, you know, an Asian man dancing in his underwear
I mean, right, right and I'm still up there. You know, I mean
And like now and then over some because of this podcast now it's all now it's all people that want to see an Asian
It's like a hundred percent and you can tell a difference, right? Oh, yeah, it was I
Mean it depends on like the city, but yeah, but it's the right if it's the right city
I mean, it's it's so much it's so much better man. It's crazy
I remember like certain gigs and if you had like certain openers who were just like as you said like those blow you out of the water
Openers they were like on a mission. They're like, here's a like back
What happens on Nebraska Avenue and everyone's like tears and I can't follow this shit
Yeah, or they go, you know, or you know the LSA you like let's them call it
Bucking here, you know, I mean
mascot like you can compete with that and people are like, yeah, we hate that mascot, right?
And I'm in the back going. What is that? Well, you have sometimes I'd have guys. I just talk like this on stage
There's a lot of you guys who would go up there and just give it their everything
They're sweating and they're screaming
And then I go up there and I just talk and they're like this guy's not trying. He's not sweating. All right. All right, all right
Yeah, yeah, it's interesting style it, but now you probably all the time now is your audience, right? Yeah, pretty much
I mean, yeah, pretty much. I mean, I'm going to Oklahoma City this weekend and it's like not exactly gonna be packed
But I mean most weekends are pretty good. Yeah, what club is it?
Bricktown, what is that? It's a new club. It's supposed to be pretty cool. All right guys who run a
Spokane and Tacoma. Oh, right, right. Good. Yeah, and it's in Oklahoma. He has a new love affair with Oklahoma
Do you?
Oklahoma's pretty cool. He rode scooters all around town. No, wait. What part of Oklahoma?
Yeah, Oklahoma City. Oh, I went to Tulsa. Yeah, I've been to Tulsa. It's pretty cool. You like it. Yeah, I did like I love
Bro, I love steak steak. Yeah, man
And there was a couple of steak houses and what I would do is I was shooting a show there
And I would just take my little scooter and zip up and down these streets to go to a steak house
It was just freedom, you know, and it was after right after COVID, right? I
Mean it's still COVID still going on, but it was like, you know, I'm out, you know
I'm wearing my mask, but it wasn't your first taste of freedom. I think that's what it was
I just my hair blowing. Nice and going over these, you know, you know, I mean fat gook, you know
So people are yelling at you
I mean you people would notice I imagine in Oklahoma this fat
Gook with a mustache. I mean zipping down a fucking
Let me ask you a question. Are you
Do you have dreams of acting and stuff? Not really. I mean, I like stand you're like Mark Normand
Yeah, but it's like if it's there was an animated show that I wrote with Dana Gould that I really wanted to make
Oh, but no one bought it. So it's just I mean that I just like working with him on stuff. He's he's so damn great
I love him and uh great. He's one of those guys. I
Don't know him. Yeah, can you two? I
Don't know. It's calling. I know I saw him at the Burbank Airport once
And I walked up to him and I go
I'm a comic and I
Love you so much, right? And he was just kind of like, oh cool
Oh, I don't want a photo. I just want to be a friend. Oh, yeah, right. It's fat gook because I remember I
Remember when I was a kid, I just can't picture you now without the scooter
When you talk, I just all I say yeah, I remember as a kid
I saw a showtime special that Dana Gould did when he was young. Yeah, and I was in probably
19 years old 20 years old. Yeah, and it was late night
And he was talking he was the one guy I'd ever seen perform who seemed my generation, but also talked about
Insecurities in the way I relate to it almost
Suicidal thoughts. Yeah, right and like blowing his head off and like being talking about those things and I remember going
If I ever did that I
Want to be like this guy because he was also one of those guys that would sweat on stage
Yeah, as a young guy and he would just be like but with great writing all the best writing
Yeah, a lot a lot of high-energy guys like they don't have the writing to match it and he was like, you know, yeah
Yeah, it's so the writing is so good
It's like maybe even like the beginnings of when he was one of the godfathers of alternative comedy for sure, right?
Because he was just before
Jeanine and Paul Tom Paul off Tompkins. I love all those people. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, but I'm over here club guy, right?
I I just came up in clubs. I like the alt scene too, but I just prefer to get paid
They were like here here's the free room and here's the room where you get you know
And I just got used to the club rhythm and I just the seller was just more consistent like the alt guys
There wasn't as much stage time because you're like I got to kiss up to some booker with a beard who's just like
Yeah, the club you just in you're like I prefer that but uh, you know
Yeah, so no, I don't give a shit about acting unless it's like you get
Scripts for stuff. They're like, this isn't interesting to me
But if it but like if I could make a show with someone like like him that right that would speak to me
But if we like for instance, you know, cuz climb and I like to write things, right?
And we like to sell things. Yeah, if we had a show
Right. Yeah, and I said listen the show's picked up. I wrote you this part
And you're let's say you're in New York. Yeah, can you just put yourself on tape? Would you do it? Yeah? Why not?
If you said no, it would hurt me. Yeah, no, why wouldn't I do that? Yeah? Yeah, and then if you got it, would you do it?
Yeah, I I'm like I feel like that's all my acting parts. You're like just shit that Amy Schumer's done
But she said just do this and it's all right. It's great. Yeah
Yeah
Yeah, it's just rarely I've never earned a spot in anything everything's been like a friend or
You know, dude, whenever I'm on a movie. I always try to discover why I'm there
You know me and so I'll ask around I guess look who I like that we talked about self-loathing
And you're just like why am it's not based on my audition or my talent?
It's always based on something. So there's always somebody that goes. Oh, dude
It's like when I was an open miker, right? You were like really cool to me
I think you're really funny, you know, I mean too, but I just thought of you when I was doing it
It was always something like that. It's never like I never had gotten a job where somebody said
I didn't know who the hell you were, but I saw that tape
And I just went I gotta meet this guy
Isn't it almost better like just getting it cuz you're you and like I feel like yeah
Those tapes are auditions, but you just being you is a constant audition like people just know you from stuff
It's also easier that way. Yeah, when you're on set
I have gotten a couple of things where they didn't know who I was and it's like I can see they're like
Guilt of like even hiring you when they see you rehearse. They'll just be like they'll give this face
Right, what have we tried this another way if you just
What if you didn't sound like a fucking autistic dipshit when you read it you're just like oh
That's a good. Thank you for the note or there's like video village, right?
Oh, man, we're the director and the producers, right? So you'll rehearse and they're they're always like
And you're like still doing it and you in your perf you you see them and you're going oh
This is not good. Oh, man
All right, so at the end of our show first of all, can I just say something? Yeah that floated by so quickly Wow
Is it done? That's crazy. Yeah, it's well over an hour and
Yes, so quickly so casually. Yeah, you got and it's like I I love guys like you
So much and I hopefully now
When we run into each other
That's you could be more real. Yeah, I think so. Don't you think I never looked at his as famous
I really not really me too. Yeah
Here's another thing I want to ask you are you a regular at the store? No, I'm not yeah
I think that
That needs to happen. Oh, thanks. Yeah, I think it's the right. You're the right temperament store is weird
You know, I feel like the comedy sellers a little it's funny
The seller gets such a rap is being like not welcoming, but I feel like the store is weirder than the seller
No, no, I think it is. It's nice. It's that's so such bullshit
I used to I used to it is I used to call in and they'd be like you can do a five minute
Developmental spot. I'd be like, I'm good. You know, yeah. Yeah, I it's like you but to play the seller SD has to see you
It's the same thing. It's different now. I think I yeah, she does
But also like if they if you're if you were just like can I work there? They they no, I think they would that's not true because
Before five years. I don't know. Did I see yeah?
We were no day together eight years. Yeah, but when I was with you did I had to audition for SD? I
Don't think so. I think so. Yeah, I 100% think so. Yeah, so one year
I was playing Caroline's or something and I wanted to get into
the seller and I had called like three or four guys burn and
They got me one and then I remember being having to go there late at night
It's late. Yeah, like two in the morning or something or one three in the morning
I mean and then she was there and I remember this and I had already done mad and a bunch of shit
Yeah, I just remember this enormous amount of pressure. Yeah, right. I was so nervous my yeah
And also it's intimidating because you're you know that restaurant above it or next to it
Olive tree the olive tree, right? They fucking me when I was there Keith Robinson. Yeah. Yeah, I sit down and he goes look how scared he is
Jesus like because I remember me being there and it's like like oh, there's Chris Rock. You know, I mean there's Ray Romano
You know, I mean, it's like more
It the level of talent. Yeah, it's far exceeds the store in terms of condensed
In a smoke. So I think it's more intimidating at the seller because I'm gonna say they're more intimidating
I just think the doors are more the more like you're not. No, I want to say something else, too. All right
And this is a compliment to you guys. You obviously have better stand-ups there
And you guys are better at everything else
Look at this studio
I know I just I've been doing shit on zoom. I know
but my point is is that if I if I now if I could write a list of like New York young guys, it's like
It's so intimidating you because I respect all of you guys, right and store it
We do have great young people, but it's just not the same caliber. My point is that um, I
Everything's condensed in New York. I mean the stand-up. All right, and I'm not arguing with you, man
I'm no I'm agreeing with telling you point my point of Jesus
It's not really that it's not how is it intimidating at the store just because you're not a regular yet
No, I just think it's more kind of like you're not in yet. I think it's more and then once you're in
You're in for life. Yeah, it's the same everywhere
Agree agree agree right that you're in for
The thing I already agreed with
No, just hear me out
But here's my plan. Okay, my plan is this and I and have I said this up to any comic from from New York
What are you? I'm about to get you about to say. I don't know until you say it. Oh, I'm gonna say it right, okay
Sam. Yeah, I'm gonna try to get him in. Oh, thank you. Yeah, and it's gonna start this week
Right. All right, and I'm gonna go to Emily this week, right and pitch, right? Yeah, you might have no
no, but it's like
Sam's the shit. Everyone knows he's the shit. He doesn't need you're like I think I just talked to her
I think I don't think they're they're passing people anytime soon. She's she's the new booker and there's probably
They're gonna pass you
What do you do with it?
Did you do this? Yeah, but when I did it, yeah, I don't know
Yeah, you did it first. I'm like, I don't know rabbit ears, but let him be his own hero. You don't have to be it. Okay, lady
Woman
And this is a fact
Do you know Marilyn rice cub yes, okay
You you know, she's she does stand up, but she's you know, she's also been a lot of TV and accomplished actress as well
Yeah, complex actor tomorrow war. She's in tomorrow war, which by the way, do you see it? I didn't realize till now that you're wearing crocs
This is the first moment
Yeah, no, I didn't see it. Yeah. Yeah, really good. It's it's getting so much but I see it everywhere
Yeah, and she kills it in it. She's so funny in it, right?
But I and I just ran into I was hanging out with her maybe four three nights ago
And we're at the storm and we're just talking and she and she goes remember that one time I
met you here to get so I
Couldn't get into the comedy store and then so I we met here and then you were gonna take me to Tommy
So I brought Marilyn rice cup to Tommy who was a booker at the time and I go
so
Look who I have here
And he kind of looks up from like the the booth and he starts writing something
I go, excuse me Tommy. Look. He's like, I don't know who the fuck she is
And I go
That's now I'm embarrassed and at this time. She's probably already on 24. She'd already done all of them
Yeah, Jesus, right? This is how insane this is and I and I go, excuse me Marilyn
And she's like she was she told me three nights ago that she was like couldn't believe it like it was embarrassing
Yeah, and I go I pull him aside to go dude. I don't give a fuck
You think you're the king of of bookers. It's like you're not even aware of what's going on. Yeah
It's like it's a woman. She's super talented. She does stand up. She does sketch. She does everything, right?
That's fucked up you had to tell him. She was a woman
But at the time right we didn't have a lot, right? Yeah, like it the males dominated the line up
So it was one of those things where I'm like, you know, I've always been pro women. No, it's arguing you
That sound weird. Yeah, but it's like you were not pro and I'm gonna get this on the record. Rape is wrong
I don't care who disagrees with me
You know what I'm not gonna I'm not gonna get you in
You're out now
But my point is is that sometimes you need a guy to go up for bath for somebody
Yeah, I you can cut this part out, but like that's a very like
Telling people all the good deeds you've done
Oh your mentor you know be really Carlos Mancia if I then told all the good deeds I've done
You're right, it sounded gross. All right, you get on in on your own
Fucking move on I love you
And we're keeping all of that in keeping it even the mancia part. Yeah, I wanna funny. Oh
Oh, it's funny. He doesn't need 2021 hate. It's a brand-new year. We'll have him on again. It's fine. We are
Okay, so I'm at the end of our podcast Sam. We do a thing called

Love wise that club is kind of magical because the Mormons come out
But then you get the non-mormons who are like, we're fucking cool. Fuck the mormon. Yeah

So yeah hard not to say wise. There's so many but there's so many good one pop out. Yeah. Yeah, you but like shit
I love some there's so many. I know you probably missed
Do you ever be parlor live in Bellevue? Never did that. I always did uh, oh, yeah, that took a coma one
Well, I also did laughs and oh that oh, yeah, yeah, which I've got a million fucking stories about
You put the parlor line literally put me up in a fucking like crack motel or like
Oh, like I was such an abused puppy dog comic that I was like, this is great
Look at a fucking meth had passed out against my way. I open I open the motel
Blind and there's just a meth had passed out. Oh, and I told Marina Franklin to I'm like, it's a great hotel
It's really and she's like Sam. This is like a fucking meth
She's like I have to get like taxied out of here
Yeah, yeah, I recommended it to a female comic on the road
Thinking it was a nice. Yeah, I'm sorry though. Yeah, no, I never did the parlor. I heard it was beautiful when I was in Toronto
Yeah, they they booked me in a hotel in Chinatown because they thought I'd feel more comfortable
That's fucking great
And though we have a nicer club we have a much better hotel near the club
But we just thought that you feel more comfortable. But were you more comfortable? No, I wasn't are you?
I was so angry though. I would look out the window and look at all these things walking on the street
He's ching chong walking
Acme's solid. I'm leaving out a bunch. Yeah. Yeah, they're never played Acme Acme's classic
I mean, okay, let me throw some out. Yeah tempi improv
I'm supposed to be in either that or stand up live in November. I've never actually done it
Okay, I played fucking stand-up Scottsdale were the owner Howard Hughes great guy, but he was on bar rescue twice
Let me give you an idea what I'm dealing with yeah
Yeah, a guy in the crowd had a fucking stroke and this is what he does
I'm on stage thinking I'm killing yeah, and I see a guy and I'm like, oh, I guess I'm killing pretty hard
And she's like no he's having a stroke. I'm like fuck calling ambulance
I jump off stage
He calls one then he goes on stage and starts doing shtick with the guy who had a stroke
So he's like, so where are you from? I'm like, dude
With a guy who's having a stroke. Oh
It was I got it was one of the crazy and then literally as he's getting wheeled at the guy gave us a thumbs up
I was like you poor bad
Wow crazy. I think I would have laughed it was pretty funny
It was pretty fucking funny, but uh, no, I heard Tempe improv is like it's a great room classic, right? Well stand-up live is Tom Papa
Right Tempe improv is more me. Okay. Tom Papa is a great comic by the way. I love his comedy
Dude, I was one of his comedy sometimes when I forget how to write jokes
All right, cuz he's different than me, but he's like so crisp and clean and like I love his yeah
Yeah, that's what I've been doing lately. I've been watching people like
Gaffigan, you know, I mean amazing because like he'll take an angle that I just so simple
Sometimes so simple, but so clever, right and I've been listening to other
I've been even listen to you know black comics and different comics to get cadence and point of view
Because I want to learn to just write again. That'd be great if I just said name one and you're like
All right, so let's do an unhelpful advice unhelpful advice with Bobby Kalala and Sam
This one is entitled did my girlfriend cheat on me question mark
My name is Thomas. I'm 21 and need a relationship advice. I've been with my girlfriend for over a year and a half
This is my first real relationship and it feels like it has fallen apart
My girlfriend approached me two weeks ago saying she is thinking about splitting up as she wants to do her own thing
Without the constraints of a boyfriend. She seemed undecided and I felt she was looking for an easy way out of the relationship
We spoke about problems in the relationship and left it by saying she needed to figure out what she wanted a few days later
She told me that she had kissed a guy at a party while drunk
She says the guy surprised her with it and it lasted 10 to 15 seconds until she told him to stop
She also passed out in his bed that night, but woke up fully clothed and at the bottom of the bed
When she told me this I didn't know how to react and cried. I also confronted her about a message
I had seen to her ex that seemed mildly flirty. I love her so much. What if this just gets worse and worse?
So much and the life we had built together over the lockdown with my parents and pets one of the best things
I've ever experienced and it hurts to throw that away. Should I forgive her for the drunk kiss? How does he sounds really young?
He's 21. Yeah, I mean, I mean, I mean
I'm sorry you
Sam you have anything because I have something. I mean the emails is she cheating on me. You just wrote that she cheated
Get out
This is honestly if a girl came up to me and
Said you know what I just think that I don't know if this is I want to be in a relationship right now
Think about your 21 year old self. Oh, I couldn't get any pussy then. I know so finally you get a girl
So it's so back then it'd be like, you know
But already I knew that they were the enemy
Like to me back when I was a kid
You know me because I saw all these white dudes that look like Sam get all the girls, right?
Right same type of body structure a bellboy whatever, right?
And I was always hanging out with white dudes like this like you know in cells
Well, we really we play like in Dungeons & Dragons at the coffee shop or whatever, right?
And I remember like just women were at enemy number one because I knew that I desired them
But they just didn't like me, right? I needed to you know
Discover what my mutant power was which is stand up and performing, right?
I didn't know that at the time, right? So they were so I wouldn't have I wouldn't be in this situation
But I'm just saying that if a girl came up to me now and said listen
I'm I I'm thinking about I don't want to be able I'd be like, yeah, it's done
This is because I need commitment or and already what she says that I just know that there's nothing I can do
To fix this and I don't want to be in front of I want somebody to be committed
All right, what if not that but she goes she is committed but says hey, I got drunk and I kissed the guy on the stop
No
And I think she like said I fell asleep at the bottom of the bed like he's a go good
It was a different part of the bed. You were in his bed still
Yeah, yeah, this is if you want to be cool if you want to play this cool to say take all the time
You need and then she'll fucking come back at some point
I bet but don't fuck but you probably don't even want her at this point. She sounds like I love
She was fully clothed yet. You can put your clothes back on
You know what I mean after you fuck
So it's like true. She she fucked
Yeah
No, I agree with you. Yeah, this sounds like a very
young
Disposable love let it go agree. It's okay. Oh, so it's like they have a power
Who has a power?
This is your in cell energy coming out. I know I have it so energy right George
We have in some energy and sometimes we have to get together, right and you know, it's a miracle that we're with people
Look at me right now, dude. You have a woman having wanting to have sex with you and having kid because you just had a baby, right?
That's a miracle
Me having Kalilah. It's a fucking miracle from the Lord itself. No, I agree. You're right. You're right. You agree, right?
So my point though is is that right?
Bro, but they have a she's you you're you worship the power
Don't worship it anymore. Yeah
Right once you stop worshiping you're free be free
Yeah, he added further context and I think it puts it more in a perspective. Go give me the context then he goes
Oh, I didn't see it's this further context
I do believe I do believe the kiss was not as bad as it may seem in writing
She was led down on her phone and she reached over her. He's a cock. He's a fucking cock
I also do believe that nothing else was happening and she woke up fully closed. Yeah, he's a cock. Yeah
You just need to find something else, man. I'm thinking Isis
Anything else that's it Thomas. Is there another one? That's we everything else our relationship one somewhere in this
Well, there's no other but on helpful devices. That's your heart. Not worth young chap. It's not worth it
Yeah, what do you mean? Give me one that's not worth it
Yeah, that's almost all of them is like, hey, how do I get into comedy? I'm not that funny. All right
Well, then give me one of those
You have two stand-ups here
Hey guys, I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma
My family thinks I'm funny and I've seen you a lot of stand-ups on TV and they seem like it's something
I can do should I do it that was a fake look at him. He just improv that just make up that story
I'm honest with me friend at Second City. Yes, he just made that make up that fucking thing
The craziest things that everyone bought it except Kalilah. Yeah, because I didn't buy it
And I could see his eyes shifting. It's a lie. You don't have one
No, they're literally like I can go through it. I have to look for them
But they're almost all like I'm from this small town. I can I see I see you guys doing comedy in the podcast
Look, so fun. I think I can do it my okay. I have I have I have something to say. Do you have one?
You know go ahead. Okay
So David Letterman, he said this out loud once he goes whenever a young comic, right?
Comes up to me and goes I'm thinking about doing stand-up. He always says
Don't do it. It's you're not gonna make it. It's gonna be terrible. It's a terrible life
Don't do it because the ones that do it anyway are the real comedians. That's smart, right?
Yeah, that's perfect. Yeah, it is tough. So just know that I mean you got to love it
So yeah, like you ever heard the Bill Hicks Jay Leno story. No
So I guess Bill Hicks. I'm you know, I don't want to you know, make shit up and embellish this thing
But I have a vague
I think I know the story so basically
Jay Leno was in Houston and which it would teach these comedy classes, right and
And when Bill Hicks was in high school, he escaped his house to the bus to go see Jay Leno's
To take Jay Leno's class. He was in the laugh stop. I
think that's where it was and
Jay Leno was telling him the group joke structure
right going like
Well, this is the way you have to run a joke and you don't mean or whatever and
Bill Hicks as a kid goes, why do you have to do it that way? That doesn't make any sense
That's a structure that you you know, I mean, but it's like you can do other things. You mean you can do
Right and then he Jay I guess said well, you know, that's how stand-ups do it and Bill Hicks basically
They said fuck this and he left as a kid, right?
You knew Jay Leno probably deep down knew that that kid was gonna fucking make it. Hmm. You know, I mean
That's what come then write a bit shitting on him 20 years later. Oh, yeah, that bit about the peacock and shooting himself in the head
I know so it's like um
Wow. Yeah, so any comic?
Don't get those don't email us anymore. What's this? Uh, George. It's George's dad with
Oh, that is George. It's the Papa Kimmel. That's your dad
They look alike or no
Dad has a he has a he that is right
Steve engines so was this I met Leno Leno call me I he called me like two months ago or something
Yeah, he's just like oh, I watch your special and I really like it and I'm an idiot and I took that to me
No, I guess we're buddies now. So I just sent him a text recently. Yeah. Hey Jay. Sorry back on stage
How's it going man? He wrote something like he wrote back something like
Everything's good best wishes Jay. It was in a way
He didn't respond to my it was like very I know what that is
He didn't save your number as Sam. Yeah, it's it came in as an unknown. I said it Sam. Oh, you did. Yeah
Yeah, I said something like oh, I saw you back on stage. He wrote. Yeah
He's like he wrote he wrote in the very way like this conversation is not going any further. Yeah
That's almost worse than being left on red. Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty bad. He might just be busy
He's probably busy. He's probably fixing a fucking car midway through and well
That's something manly that I could never do. That's what I how Steve Byrne. Yeah, the way I met Steve Byrne is I did the tonight show
in
2000
And just I don't know where he just calls me and I go how'd you get my number? He goes well
I'm Steve Byrne. I'm a half Korean comic and I just have to say that I got your name number from Berrycats and
That like I saw you on this night show and I just thought I need to meet this guy
This guy was so funny. Wow
And you know, I think that when comics do that call people out of the blue sometimes it is cool
Yeah, no, I've like made my day that he called
I think I was having like a bad day and when I was like, I watch your spaz. That's amazing dude to take that
Yeah, take that as an amazing call. No, it's I I should have just been like, I don't never speak to me
And then I had to I had to squeeze you try to one up it or something. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So Jay. What's poppin?
Yeah, you should have done that. They're fucking crazy. Yeah, you get hit with the best wishes
Best wishes hurts. Yeah, that hurts. Well, yeah, I have one story about that. I've never told right so one day
I did this charity for some rock. I did that charity for the rock and roll
This wasn't the one where Jerry Seinfeld was caught. No, no, no, no, I did the game the whole time
No, I was in it was here in downtown
It was like slash played and all these rock and rollers. I think I hosted the whole thing
I wasn't with you then you weren't so I hosted this whole thing and I remember afterwards Moby
Right came up to me and he goes hey that bit you do about cuddling and he was with some girl
He's like we were both laughing because the cats how I feel about it or whatever, right?
And I go, oh cool. And he's like, hey, man. He's really funny guy man. That's nice to meet you. So I saw him at
Oh, no
So I saw him at a restaurant
in Los Feliz and
I
Put my hand on him from pretty from behind and I go, what's up, man? And he goes like this
And I go
You saw me a couple years ago at the event the rock
You know, I was stumbled with words, right? And he goes, I don't remember that man. Oh my god. Oh
Oh
Also, I'm an em was right that guy can't get stung by obi, dude. I know but it's like, you know, it's like I should have
Left it at I mean like that bit. Are you coming from behind and just holding him?
If I'm in a restaurant, okay, let's let's say your girlfriend Taylor
Yeah, you know, I remember going to seeing her years ago a couple years ago at the lab factory
She got off stage. I lit could add a follower. I literally in my head thought
Holy shit
Am I gonna be able to follow that? That's how good she was that night. Yeah, so when she got off stage
I looked at her. I never met her before in my life and I go, yeah, Bobby
I just want to know dude, you fucking crushed. Thank you, right? Yeah
If I'm at a year later
I'm at a restaurant and Taylor Thompson came up to me and rubbed my back and goes, what's up? I wouldn't be like, what the fuck?
But you don't know his trigger. Oh, what if he's wrong?
What if he's been stabbed by an ice pick and some people have issues with being touched?
I remember I met a guy once and I like I put my hand in shows. Hey, great to see and he goes
I don't like being touched. All right. Sorry. Oh, yeah
Yeah, but those are weirdos, dude. That's weird. You're right because it's like for me
I have I don't like strangers coming from behind either. So if I'm in a restaurant, I always turn my what seat do I choose?
I never have my back to a crowd. Yeah, I have to know the whole thing because I get I'm very jumpy
Sure, so maybe Moby's just jumpy, but when people say I don't like being touched that that's an invite for me to test the water
Okay, what's the name done all Rawlings? Oh?
Oh, swore to God this happened a week ago. You got a man. I want to talk to you about so he was in his car
Right, and I walk up. He doesn't like he hates me touching him
So I put he has bald head and I just got him to some sweaty
Right, and I just he goes hey, so I want to ask you a question
And while he was saying that I literally put my hand and I just caressed his head as hard as I could like this down his neck
And he went
He's zipped out of the clock and never I didn't know what he wanted to talk about or anything like that
But my point is is that don't don't it's like don't tell me your weakness
Okay, there's connected to the Moby thing. It feels like you just
Maybe I should have ended this podcast 10 minutes
We're keeping this in because you know listen I want to end with this
My fans they know that a lot of times I talk. Yeah, and I don't know what I'm saying
And I'll just go let's go with this idea and your thought your mind
Right, and then you see a dead end
Right, so what do I do? I try to fucking ram through in my car. Mm-hmm through the brick wall and sometimes it doesn't work. I

That I honestly believe there's a new white movement coming out of it. So it's terrible. We met on January 6
White movement
This is what listen stop
No, no, it's not
Don't don't don't make me mad. Oh, we're at the Pesh mode. So don't people are people aren't people okay, okay?
because I and I just wanted to say this okay is
That's why in LA you have Sundays Mondays and Tuesdays
Black nights only black comics at certain comedy clubs because it's a cultural thing
There's certain cultural thing right and I've been around for a very long time and I've seen white dudes do stand up, right?
And it just they weren't that good
Right to me
But when I see this new crop of New York guys, right that happened to be white, right?
Because they have a their own language as well, right?
Asians do it in their own way, right?
So what I'm saying is is that when I see these young guys like Schultz. Are you do you probably do get along with Schultz? Yeah
Yeah, I mean Mark is like one of my best friends. Yeah, Schultz, Mark
Yeah, it's Christie these young guys, right? I just and I'm I look at them and I go, oh my god
They're so fucking funny and this seems so
Relevant is all I'm saying. I look at Taylor the same thing. I go. Yeah for sure. I go. She's a beast
She just works. She works so hard the beast. Yeah, she's here other female comics talking about her
Yeah, they're like shit. She's taking our one spot on the lineup. No, they're like I mean
Yeah, there is there is a little threat though. Well, everyone in their voice everyone feel threatened
Yeah, I mean that's but that if you use it as fuel and not feeling like fuck them but more like shit
I got I got to step it up. Yeah, like if you look at it in a positive way
I mean Taylor's a the murderer, you know your murder. He really is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She's a great joke writer, too. Yeah
Not just in performance her performances. No, I know I think you're doing like it like a villain like it also
She's because you know, you know, right? There's some people are my performance is my strength writing isn't
