Sam Morril (0:13)

I don't really like smoking.

Joe Rogan (0:14)

Do you like cigars?

Sam Morril (0:15)

I like alcohol and I like coffee. I'm not a big cigar guy.

Joe Rogan (0:19)

Do you want alcohol?

Sam Morril (0:20)

I'll have it, maybe in like second half of the show.

SPEAKER_3 (0:23)

Second half of the show.

Sam Morril (0:24)

I like to feel the caffeine.

Joe Rogan (0:25)

Let's prepare glasses with ice for the second half of the show. When things start getting a little sideways.

Sam Morril (0:32)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:33)

So what's happening, brother? How are you doing?

Sam Morril (0:35)

Great, great. I've been on the road just going pretty hard with this hour and I love it.

I still romanticize the road. I still love it. And I did theaters last year for the first time ever, just the theater run. So that now I'm back in clubs to just tighten it, but it's, I love it, man.

Joe Rogan (0:50)

Yeah, clubs are the best. It's the best experience. The arenas are pretty nice.

In the round, they're really fun.

Sam Morril (0:59)

They look fun.

Joe Rogan (0:59)

Theaters are fun, but it's slightly removed from a club. Club is better than a theater.

Sam Morril (1:06)

Yeah, it's pretty cool. I mean, theaters, I forgot how intimate clubs were just doing theaters last year and being like, oh shit, I can see when a dude's frowning. You know, I can see one person having a bad time now. So that I forgot about that. But there was a guy in Dallas over the weekend who just kept doing this to me. And I'm like, what the fuck? And he was like, oh, your girlfriend's a fan.

He was just a drunk.

Joe Rogan (1:30)

Oh, wow.

Sam Morril (1:31)

And I peeled out of me, he was drunk on rum too, which is the fun.

SPEAKER_4 (1:34)

To me, it's like funny.

Joe Rogan (1:35)

That's a Jimmy Buffett drunk.

Sam Morril (1:36)

It's just not, you don't see a lot of white dudes with goatees who are rum drunk. So I was like, all right.

Joe Rogan (1:41)

Is that centric?

Sam Morril (1:42)

Yeah, he was just a bad drunk, but she was cool as hell.

Joe Rogan (1:45)

Well, sometimes guys have a real hard time with their girlfriend being a fan of a guy.

Sam Morril (1:51)

I feel like most of the people that like me are dudes, but-

Joe Rogan (1:54)

Yeah, me too.

Sam Morril (1:54)

When I see women out there, I'm like, great.

Joe Rogan (1:56)

Yeah.

Sam Morril (1:57)

I see a tabletop of four, I'm like, fuck yes.

Joe Rogan (2:00)

Yeah, whenever a lady asks me, are you Joe Rogan? I'm like, yeah.

SPEAKER_3 (2:04)

They're like, I'm a fan of your podcast.

Joe Rogan (2:06)

I'm always like, that's crazy. Thank you.

Sam Morril (2:09)

I mean, I'm sure you have a lot of female. It's a big pod.

Joe Rogan (2:12)

It's the number two female podcast.

Sam Morril (2:14)

What's number one?

Joe Rogan (2:15)

True Crime.

Sam Morril (2:16)

That makes sense.

Joe Rogan (2:17)

Like one of them true crime shows.

Sam Morril (2:18)

Women love true crime.

Joe Rogan (2:20)

Yeah. So women do listen to it.

Sam Morril (2:22)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:22)

But it's not, you know, I'm a guy and I'm probably annoying.

SPEAKER_4 (2:26)

I get it.

Joe Rogan (2:28)

I get it. Like if you're a woman and you don't, I mean, this is a bro heavy show, you know, like when we do Protect Our Parks or when we do A Fight Companion or...

Sam Morril (2:36)

The fights are definitely for bros.

Joe Rogan (2:38)

Yeah. And then when I have fighters on, unless it's female fighters, I've had a bunch of female fighters on too.

You know, female fighters are probably my best example that I point to when people think that something horrible about fighting, that it's like brutality and it's wrong and it's barbaric and I'll point them to some female fighters. I'm like, just listen to this woman talk, like listen to Rose Nama-Yuna's talk about fighting and like listen to her post-fight speeches when she's telling everybody that we just have to be nicer to each other.

Sam Morril (3:08)

It is pretty cool to be almost like Buddhist and a fighter.

Joe Rogan (3:12)

She's an amazing, amazing human, very unusual human being. You know, elite world class fighter, world champion multiple times, and like one of the sweetest nicest people alive.

She's so nice to her opponents after fights.

Sam Morril (3:27)

I don't know a lot about fighting. A lot of I've learned from hearing you talk and stuff, but I and you know, I remember watching a fight with like Lewis Gomez and Dave Smith once and they knew so much about it that that's how you get me into it, like backstory and stuff. Yeah, like I'm an insane NBA fan. I love sports, but yeah, I mean, the camaraderie in that stuff to me is like what interests me also is like, you know, growing up as a 90s basketball fan, these guys fucking hated each other, like wanted to fight like Oakley Rodman. They were like down to fight you and mind games and shit. And now they all play AAU ball together. So they're all buddies.
