Sam Morril 🔥 The Math of Joke Writing, Prepping for Conan, Taping a Comedy Central Special

[@RonJammin]

Damn, Sam seemed really still throughout the interview but still entertaining! Watched his "Up on the Roof" special on YT, really funny stuff. The different sets / tapings kept it fresh throughout.

no video? either way, keep up the good work buddy

[@HotBreathPod]

Thanks for the kind words! We did this interview late after a show and he didn't want to be on film. Our next interview with Sam will for sure be on video though. We've already talked about doing a follow-up. Have you seen our episode with Mark Normand? Subscribe and check it out!

@@HotBreathPod of course! he's actually the reason I'm here. He's a total Legend (more marky please) Word on the street is Norm Macdonald used to do any interview someone asked of him. Maybe you can try to get Him, that would be something.

@@theace110013 Oh nice I'll have to check out his schedule and when we can cross paths. Thanks for that comedy insight!

Love your stuff. Is there a Metzger episode?

Hey Joel I love the pod and I consider myself a harsh judge when it comes to standup. Your comedy is also great! What if you said "my wife experimented in college. She actually dated two different women named Faye. Im glad I met her after her experimental Fayes".

[@HotBreathPod]

Oh wow thanks buddy! Fayes is hilarious word play thanks for the suggestion and kind words. Do you also do comedy?

@@HotBreathPod I just started doing some open mics (and bombing horrifically) before covid but lately just writing. Do you tour? Ever make it to Phoenix?

[@monadamus42]

He's already a legend in my book. Great interview, thank you!

[@HotBreathPod]

Absolutely thanks Adam! Is this the first interview of ours you’ve seen?

Sam hates Los Angeles, yet peppers his speech with more "likes" than most teeny boppers from The Valley

[@Benjamenvince]

Sucks this episode isn’t on Spotify can’t wait to listen though! Thanks for having comedians actually talk about stand up. It’s very helpful man.

[@HotBreathPod]

Thanks Benjamen! We had no idea this episode wasn't on Spotify anymore so thanks for the heads up. I'll go ahead and repost it this week. We've done over 400 interviews so I think those platforms only keep the most recent 200. How long have you been subscribed to the show?

[@grunntalll]

one question i have is if theres any tools for when you have a gig but you feel very serious, like youre stuck in a serious mindset.

[@Raildawwwg]

Great stuff. What's a Florida drunk?
