00:00That's how you can tell people are like they had a horrible childhood by how many hugs they need as like as a drunk, you know
00:06Yeah, cuz that's where it comes out
00:09Sam Rell is here
00:12Thanks for having me again. No problem. It's nice to have you back good to be here, man
00:16You were on Conan this week. Yeah, how did that go? Was that fun? That was good. I was in L
00:22I hate LA so much really yeah, I was at the Comedy Store
00:26The Legendary Comedy Store. Yeah, it's a really cool club, but I was on some show and it was a
00:32It's like they have no host so each comic brings up the next comic so Kevin Nealon is on before me
00:37You know from like SNL Kevin Nealon and yeah, yeah, he's all it's funny
00:41I've worked with him before this is why there's even more disheartening is he's on before me and he's like your next comedian
00:47You've seen him from his Netflix special from his podcast give it up for Chris Titus
00:52And I'm just back to like what that's not me and then a waitress is like no, it's not him
00:58It's Sam Murrell and he just goes who and it gets a huge laugh
01:02Like that shouldn't have gotten that big a laugh
01:05And then he brings me up and then and then I go on and it kind of dig out of that hole and then
01:10And then I bring on Donnell Rawlings, you know if I'm like
01:14Yeah, and I give him this big intro. I'm gonna give him a really nice intro. He seems like a nice guy and then
01:19And then I bring him up and he's just not there. I was like this is a mess
01:23Why are they doing it that way? I think well, I think Donnell is a different story
01:26I think he was like in high outback or something
01:28But I mean use the standard thing is to have a is to have an MC an opener, you know
01:33I think it's just I think they normally have one
01:35But I think it's just like a it was like a different different show that I know it was Chris Titus anywhere to be had
01:40No, I don't know ladies and gentlemen, Lenny Bruce
01:43You know it is but it is in you know working for as a comic and doing this as well as you have for a long time
01:51I don't care how good you are. You have like a misstep introduction or something that throws the room off a little bit and it will screw things up
02:01Yeah, it can be you never know. I mean like I followed Jean-Claude Van Damme on Conan
02:07So you're like oh, this isn't exactly the perfect intro for what I do
02:10It's the new half-hour version of Conan. Yeah, no
02:13It seems to be the same that he's doing a lot more out and about, you know traveling around stuff and those kind of segments
02:20But did it feel different or is it not always really nice there?
02:24Yeah, it's so laid-back every other late-night show is like don't say like every word has to be exactly that I'm Conan
02:31I'm like can I open with this new dick joke and I'm sure
02:35Why not they're so laid-back Sam?
02:38I got to point out one of your tweets you had the other day though. That said no reasonable career choice pays and drink tickets
02:44Yeah, you know what I would imagine you get as well, right? Yeah, like do you want a drink ticket?
02:48And uh, and yeah, so there's a point in your career where you're like you're damn right. I do you know
02:53I'm gonna come here just for free. I'm gonna drink what I should have been paid
03:00Do you do you take all this because I I for a while I did stand up and I and there was there was a lot of
03:07Fond memories of stuff that wasn't so fond when it was actually going on
03:11Yeah, are do you accrue those? Sure. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I even now in the moment
03:17I have a better attitude about stuff because you know
03:20At the time sometimes you're like what the hell is my life?
03:23But then you look back and you're like well, I'm glad I work for you know a crazy alcoholic racist club owner
03:29Because where the hell else am I gonna see that again, you know
03:33Like there was this guy it's almost precious. Yeah, he's like almost like well, you're like out of place in time
03:37This is fun. Like this guy. There's this guy Bobby in Tampa. I still play this club all the time. Oh, you've mentioned this guy
03:44He's like why he's the funniest. Yeah, like
03:47I go there every year and every time this guy's just hammered
03:50He's like 58 and he just kills a bottle of whiskey and he's like you pussy
03:54You can't keep up and I'm like, yeah, I mean, I'm you know, I'm not trying to kill myself
03:59You got into was it was he the one you kind of got into it?
04:03There was you were telling us a story about somebody who was really
04:05It was maybe it was this guy because I think you'd mentioned him and that he just he's real difficult to work with, right?
04:11No, he's not really do
04:12It's just he I mean, he's like a kind of a fun
04:14He's a classic drunk or he's like he'll trash you for like a good
04:18Hour and then and then he's like give me a hug
04:22Yeah, yeah, that's like that's how you can tell people are like they had a horrible childhood by how many hugs they need as like
04:27a drunk, you know
04:29That's where it comes out
04:31But you try to get you did they try to work that thing like well, you know, I'm not you know
04:36And I I never tolerate that, you know
04:40It's kind of funny. I don't know. I mean, yeah, I know you mean but it's also like this guy is one of the he's like that
04:44He's like a sitcom drunk or it's not even like
04:47We're like he'll just walk in to the bar and and pause like he expects applause
04:52That's funny sam you tweeted out the other day about uh fat jew stealing some of your material and we talked
04:59Over the last week or so about fat you and f jerry and there's been this blowback over the last week plus especially from comedians
05:06uh, there's there's the hashtag of ff jerry
05:09um
05:10What did what was stolen from you and and what was the response well, I had two things stolen
05:15I had uh that porn joke was stolen and I wouldn't have been as I know jokes get taken all the time
05:19I'm not I don't really but he had just taken michael che's joke about uh
05:23How so che used to have a joke it was really funny about how some people against bacon for religious reasons
05:28He said i'm against religion for bacon reasons, right?
05:31That was like an old michael che joke and it was like verbatim then mine was like verbatim and I was and I emailed him and he uh
05:37Because I knew someone who knew him and he didn't write back, but he pulled the joke so to me
05:41That's an admission to gill
05:42What if yeah, what if they take the material and give credit because there are these amalgamators?
05:46I'm totally cool with that. There's this guy tank sinatra. He's a man. I love tank
05:49And he's like one of those guys, but he goes like these other guys like fat jew
05:52They want to be known as like geniuses so they don't they go out of their way to take the name
05:57And they they come they try to come across as content creators years years ago
06:01There was a site that um e-bounds world or something like that
06:05They got in trouble all the time for putting up stuff, you know, listen
06:09You you give credit that's cool, but you're that's just your this is your livelihood
06:12And also the cool thing like I remember tank posted one of my bits and like he's like follow this guy
06:16He's working really I mean like the people that support you and then there's people that are just thieves, you know
06:21Like fat shoe is like leonardo dicaprio and wolf of wall street, but it's intellectual property and he's fat
06:29And gross looking but uh, no these guys make a ton of money. It's it's messed up
06:33And uh, I remember there's another bit they took I they always they I think they just watched late night sets and poke
06:38Because like why not and just pilfer so yeah, I had a bit about how um
06:42How obsessed with my phone?
06:44I am and how I can't like I can't have conversations with people right it's like without wanting to reach for my phone
06:49So like I wish when people were telling you stories you could tap their face like in a youtube video
06:54How much time is left and there's another bit they jacked and I was like they're just taking my material
07:03You
