Hey, it's Sam Marell, and you are listening to Storyworthy. Welcome to Storyworthy. My name is Christine Blackburn, and I'm coming to you from Los Angeles, California.

Whether you're a longtime fan of the show or a new listener, welcome to Storyworthy.

I hope you guys enjoyed the story last week, which was actually, now let I think of it, it was Story Smash, the game show. So last week was a live story. Sam, do you know Story Smash? I don't know. You're going to have to come to our game show. I know of it. I've heard that it's very big. So, you know, I did Rachel O'Brien's show, and she said very nice stuff about it. Oh, very nice. Yes, Rachel O'Brien has done story smash a couple of times.

It's the storytelling game show, and we play monthly at the Hollywood Improv. So you guys, if you are in L.A., really, do not miss the show. We've been going over a year now. And you know, Sam, just two months ago, we had Larry King on the show. Whoa. I know. and Danny Zucker was on the same show

and they kissed.

Whoa.

So this is the kind of stuff that happens on Story Smash. Maybe if you live long enough, you just become gay. Maybe that's the Larry King thing. I don't know. Exactly. Well, what happened to tell you the truth is Larry King happened to mention on stage that he was only kissed one time in his life by a man, and that was Marlon Brando.

Whoa. And that was like a famous interview. I remember that, I'm not seeing that on TV. And then Larry said, and you know what, folks, I'm telling you the truth right now. I still think about it. Whoa. How about that? Wouldn't you? And then? I kissed a boy once.

I think about it all the time.

Did you?

Yeah.

Are you lying?

Lying? No. Was it recent or a while ago? No, I was in second grade. Oh, I see. And we fell on made out. Was it just because you wanted to feel? Yeah, I want to feel something. Yeah. Did you do it to your hand first? Like that... No. But he But he, I remember I got aggressive with it. I was like, I was like just a rebel kid. So I was like, well, how do people have sex? And he was like, they rubbed dicks together. So he was incorrect. But that was what he went with. Yeah. And I was like, let's do it. And he was like, no. And I'm glad he pulled a red light right there. I'm so glad I didn't have a boy. I mean, I have a girl. And I just feel like a boy would be. That was an aggressive thing for me to tell you out of the gate. Listen, you guys. You are here on a great day because I have comedian Sam Morrell here. So go back. Listen to Story Spash, but not now. Right now, you're here with me, and Sam brings forth a topic, getting duped with Sam Morrell, getting duped. And this is, honestly, you just told me this topic, and I thought to myself, I can't believe I haven't talked about this on Storyworthy. Sure. In the last eight years, we've been doing the show, and I've heard so many stories. And really,. But never being duped. I've never heard that story. And really, it seems like everybody's been duped. Okay. Can I tell you how I was duped? Please. And this, see, now, this isn't even a funny getting duped. I don't know if yours is funny. I hope it is. Well, mine isn't, and I'm going to lay it on you anyway. Lay it on.

About four years ago, I started doing audiobooks, you know, like recording audiobooks in my closet,

which I have a little recording studio, and I'd do them during the day when my daughter was at school,

and then at night I would edit them. And it takes a long time to do an audio book and I did

11 of them and I didn't get paid for seven of them whoa that's horrible I got duped by this publisher

in chapel hill North Carolina his name is Fred God's Mark and name of his company, I don't mind sharing with everyone. Share away. Yeah, exactly. God, now I forget the name of his company. Anyway, so yeah, he duped me and had me believing that I was going to get paid for these books. Scum. And it took, you know, one book, it could be like nine and a half hours long.

And that...
