Adam Carolla and Norm MacDonald Analyze Kenny Rogers Songs

[@k.andrewdeffley570]

In this video, I hear Norm laugh the hardest of all other pieces of his media. I came on to hear that laugh again. Rest in Peace, Norm. My favorite comedian of all time.

I had a feeling norm was sick for a while. I’ve had the old C-word for the last fifteen years and I’m still relatively young. You just face it the best way you know how. I always tried to read between , or over, or through the lines whenever he spoke 😁. What he shared with us is beyond comedy, it’s also a spiritual take -my-hand

[@dixonpinfold2582]

When we hear "They took turns at Becky," the timing and the way she says "What!?" is incredibly funny.

Ruby is my 90 year old mother's favorite song because her name is Ruby. The only concert we ever went to together was Kenny Rogers when I was a kid. Never occurred to me what this song was about until I heard this breakdown. I never had the heart to explain to Mom who Ruby was and what she was up to.

[@dbrown2264]

This was my saving grace on this 17th anniversary of September 11th. I was depressed, given the deaths and my own experiences in Iraq. But this lifted me up. Thanks Adam and Norm. And I guess thanks to Kenny.

Definitely my favorite radio bit ever and that's saying a lot considering how many great moments Carolla has had on air. Best thing is that this was unscripted. Who knew so much gold was in a breakdown of a couple of old Kenny Rogers songs? And I love Theresa's reactions when she realized just how dark these songs were.

Might seriously be my favorite bit ever. Two people I love individually, and only recently learned they did this podcast together. So....... damn........good.

@@jschapp77 originally it was aired on radio but they released the show in podcast format at the time so I heard it right about the time it happened. I was so glad when the Carolla radio show went off the air that he started the podcast right after that. Who knew at the time he'd still be doing it and doing it successfully.

Remember "what condition my condition was in "? It was in the movie Big Lebowski . Same album i think . It;s psychedelic rock and some reviewers say a great song . Little ditty about an acid trip to break up the hard reality of Ruby , Coward , and Rubin James . Plus "tell it all brother " if you haven't already slit your own throat . And don't forget "something's burning " which by the music you might think is about riots or arson , is actually a quite poignant love song if you hope to never experience that kind of thing . All these and more were on their 1971 greatest hits album . I think ,but don't quote me , it was part of the original Dr Kevorkian home do it yourself kit .
