Sam Morril is a stand-up comedian, writer, and podcaster. America is a strange place, full of quirky customs and bizarre rituals, from tipping practices to unconventional dating trends. So I figured I'd ask one of my favourite comedians how to navigate this odd land. Expect to learn how long it really takes to adjust to NYC, why Sam felt like a medieval country bumpkin for a while, the surprising stats behind American passports, why Spanish supermarket pineapples are a dating hotspot, what Sam thinks about Lizzo’s weight loss journey. whether the Kelce brothers’ podcast fame will continue and much more… Sponsors: See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: https://chriswillx.com/deals Get a Free Gift, 5 Free Travel Packs, Free Liquid Vitamin D and more from AG1 at https://drinkag1.com/modernwisdom (automatically applied at checkout) Sign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period from Shopify at https://shopify.com/modernwisdom (automatically applied at checkout) Get expert bloodwork analysis and bypass Function’s 300,000-person waitlist at https://functionhealth.com/modernwisdom (automatically applied at checkout) Extra Stuff: Get my free reading list of 100 books to read before you die: https://chriswillx.com/books Try my productivity energy drink Neutonic: https://neutonic.com/modernwisdom Episodes You Might Enjoy: #577 - David Goggins - This Is How To Master Your Life: https://tinyurl.com/43hv6y59 #712 - Dr Jordan Peterson - How To Destroy Your Negative Beliefs: https://tinyurl.com/2rtz7avf #700 - Dr Andrew Huberman - The Secret Tools To Hack Your Brain: https://tinyurl.com/3ccn5vkp - Get In Touch: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chriswillx Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/chriswillx YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/modernwisdompodcast Email: https://chriswillx.com/contact - Learn more about your ad choices.

This is delicious.
You haven't decided whether you- I know, I don't like it, I don't think. But you keep drinking it.
I keep drinking it.
God damn it.
I keep, and I'm like, I don't think I like it, but I've had like 10 sips and I'm like, maybe I do, I don't know. How long did it take to get accustomed to New York City? I mean, I don't know because I've lived in my whole life, but you picked like the worst strip. This is a really bad block. I mean, it's like all the people just selling fake bags. Who the fuck thinks these are real bags?
I mean, if you're a tourist, are you not? You're like, oh, yeah, the guy who hasn't showered in three days and smells like BO. That's a real Louis Vuitton right there. Reputable stalker retailer of luxury items. Yeah, just buy a fucking bag that's cheap that's actually not going to break the second you buy it.
I don't know. This place feels really hard to adjust to as someone who's not from here. I feel like a medieval country bumpkin going to the big city or something to have to speak to the baron or whatever. And I come in, I'm like just overloaded. It's so loud, noisy, everything smell. And then it's also energizing. But yeah, it's just it's odd to adjust to.
And people that live here are just like, oh, it's just what life is.
That's exactly my point. I can't drive, but I can tell you which subway gets you to like Brooklyn. I can drive, but I'm bad. So you have your license, but- Here's what happened. I took three tests. I failed the first two driver's tests. I passed the third one because I got in the car and I was like, please don't fail me. I'm terrible. And the instructor laughed.
