No one has any evidence Norm had anything but love for Rogan. Even If He Did Hate That Pod. We've all seen comedians say absolutely INSANE shit to each other and about each other.

He did struggle with his addiction to gambling, so you never know if it might even be true that he quit smoking for a short period. Clearly, I'm not saying it was real, but that the humor comes from never being 100% sure whether it was a joke or not.

[@Wallyworld30]

The funniest thing on the internet is when Norm MacDonald had Gilbert Gottfried on as a guest on a 2 part episode of Norm MacDonald Live. It was so funny Norm couldn't cut anything out and is the only guest Norm made the episode a 2 parter instead of cutting out anything. Gilbert was so freaking underrated and Norm was funniest man alive the 2 of them together was magic! One topic that killed me was in the news at the time they said actor Michael Douglas got throat cancer from giving cunningus to a women. That was a real thing. Gilbert Gottfried said he would eat Cathrine Zeta Jones asshole for Multiple Sclerosis. If anyone hasn't seen it do yourself a favor and find that 2 part episode.

Joe Rogan praises Norm MacDonald, but if he actually had him on his podcast, it would've went very similar to the Harland Williams episode.

@@gregamania1327 Its simply a fact Norm wanted to go out doing what he loved most, which was doing comedy as long as he possibly could... theres no reason to believe Norm wouldve ever hung up the microphone as long as he was still breathing... just like one of his comic idols Don Rickles, Norm was gonna be busting balls right up till the end. 2021 the year Norm had his draw with cancer, is the same year the 2nd Reno 911 movie came out... Swardson was likely on set or just finished filming the new movie around the time that Norm was telling him that they should retire and move to Reno together. Not to mention the glaring fact that 2020/21 was when a bunch of comedians en masse were leaving LA and NY for Texas, among other scenic places. With saint Roggie building a brand new Texan compound, Norms not gonna follow the infamous deathsquad en masse to the remote lands of Texas... since we all know, that would only remind him of that one tragedy! (Waco)... I mean, considering that all Canadian comedians end up moving to LA/NY to make it big, I think its obvious that Norm wouldve been discussing and joking with others, about seeing so many comedians now fleeing the comedy capitals of the world, just to go to an untapped comedy market in Texas!... all on the sage advice of that comedy savant Rogan! and who knows how early on Rogan was in talks with Adam Eget about having him come and manage the mothership when it opened. It makes sense Swardson would look back to the converstations he had with Norm about moving to Reno and think of them vary differently after Norms passing then the way he had precieved them at the time... which was that it was all just a running bit they had going on together at the time. All that said, with Norm he truly was a wild card so there couldve vary well been some sincerity to it all as well... or just the more that he joked about it with Swardson the more he kinda came to enjoy the idea of it all... just like having a smoke right after a long flight talking about quiting smoking.

[@Lm0956]

Norm didnt hate anyone but he mighve found joes sensibility a little funny

[@phlora]

Norm? I’m sat, seated and sitting.

[@rodneybiltman2005]

I got a feeling Adam was told by Norm to say in the fall. I think Adam either knew why or had a good idea why. You can see it in his eyes, man.

[@Rizzbulla]

Norm, Greg Giraldo and Patrice O'Neal were the 3 🐐's.

[@JBtakes]

Never clicked so fast! Would love to hear you talk about more Norm stories, he was a treasure

[@taedopalleb1373]

Some real "Big Bro, lil bro" energy here

[@Scybes]

Norm didn't suffer fools well

[@michaeldonnan6767]

No, he was just a dick. There's a difference. He was shitty to a lot of people who aren't 'fools'.

[@firn54]

Maybe telling that story over and over again is Joe's own version of a Norm style joke.

[@IAEMThatIAEM]

Norm had a podcast 10:00 It literally says podcast in that screencap

[@omarcorral3687]

Norm was telling Joe that he basically annoyed him to the point of relapsing

[@theactualTVB]

Norm Macdonald was gone too soon and he will forever be missed

[@Chas.Graham]

My favorite is when norm did the whole explain to the people at home who don’t know… one of Joe Rohan’s famous podcast lines

[@dezawol9786]

He believed someone was feeding his pet tapeworm

[@christiananderson6761]

Thank you for the consistently great content. Hope you’re doing well

[@wtfRyantater]

Wait, Norm died?!

[@TheOrangeRoad]

I'm not gonna say it!

[@ablackghostmyguy3741]

I'll say it as much as it sucks he died on 14th September 2021

[@wtfRyantater]

@@ablackghostmyguy3741 oh man I had no idea!

[@westsenkovec]

I didn't even know he was sick!

[@heybub3019]

I have 2 signed photos of Norm Macdonald. He is a legend.

[@billwilson9602]

“Norm isn’t the easiest guest to get on your show” Well yeah… he’s dead.

[@emptyeff]

Used to be hard a hard to get guest, still is but used to too

[@christopherfoster3948]

So glad you brought this up. Joe is talented. One can not be worth hundreds of millions and not be talented. He is a good comedian, but he isn’t great. Not a slight. Best pod caster possibly ever. Seems like a good guy. I could see Norm not wanting to go in and putting them on the same level. Norm was quietly a big Christian and incredibly smart. After seeing his friends like Farley and other people go down I imagine he wasn’t in love with drug glorification.

[@dragonfoxsolid1308]

I love 2lazy2try as much as i enjoy applying paint to my face and neglecting my children. The paint is black.

[@senorpepper3405]

Whoa

[@michael5654]

*paint it black begins to play*

[@ActuallyAlask]

One of the most underrated Norm anecdotes is Nick Di Palo, recounting him drinking gallons of coffee from the pot. The visual alone is hilarious. He turned mundane things into legends. God I miss this man more than anyone else.

[@Chicken-Chaser]

Ngl besides him saying “idk” to it being a joke while laughing. This isn’t really one of joes bad ‘didn’t get that they were joking’ moments. Just seemed like he found the whole thing hilarious

[@calebcrouch6133]

I agree. He probably had quit smoking several times, like most smokers. Did he grab a cigarette because he thought it would be funny? Did he make up the quitting part? Who knows.

[@HkFinn83]

Well, I’m glad you’re not lying

[@lifeWizard435]

Norm was a comedic genius. Joe humps a bar stool & yells a lot. Joe wouldn’t have understood a single joke Norm made.

[@thejoshandcharles1]

Anyone else feeling the Rogan bubble popping? I still like some of his pods, but I feel it popping.

[@stillholding4975]

Definitely jumped the shark

[@brettmerritt5469]

Rogan isn’t a nice person, I’ve been to two ufc events both in 2013 as rogan looked at fans in disgust and ignored EVERYONE around him, him and goldberg looked awkward around each other, rogan is a tool

[@pleaseadoptus]

He doesn't have anything to be anti at the moment. Also he's basically a moderate in general. Like an 80s libertarian. People moving to the extremes.

[@flangecorp9789]

We, the towns-folk, are behind you Sheriff.

[@grantmonast9294]

Joe is so oblivious to anything funny. His stand up is among the worst there is, he could take notes from Schaub. Norm was one of, if not the greatest to ever do it

[@flameguy3416]

7:38 Tony is the KING of joke thievery...

[@shanemac1646]

I didn’t even know he was sick!

[@sneedmando186]

Had the pleasure to meet him once at my job. So cool to see him. Really chill dude, rip 🕯️ 😔

[@IMBJJ838]

what the sigma

[@yourdashingheroidol7909]

R.I.P Norm! Love you buddy, thanks for the laughs!

[@tennwilcox8663]

Dude your monotone delivery is annoying.and sort of hilarious. Try modulating your voice just a little to not sound like a AI robot, I mean really listen to yourself . 😊

[@sandman62100]

According to my sources, Joe was always jealous of Norm

[@razberry93]

"All that talking about smoking makes me want to smoke." might be one of the funniest Norm lines ever. I just realized my friend and I did a Norm McDonald-esque thing in Las Vegas in 2011. I just realized now it was a Norm kind of thing to do. It was around 5 am and we were completely fucking tanked walking into the Venetian. There was this very sweet older woman working there as a security guard (or something like that). For 10 minutes, we are having her convinced that we are convinced that we're outside. She keeps trying to explain to us that we're not in fact outdoors, it's just a painted sky. We just kept it going for way too long haha. Poor lady. I still think about her sometimes.

[@JonathanDoryski]

Joe does nothing but show love & appreciation to comedy, and is a funny comedian even if you don't like his comedy. Meanwhile the rest of yall do nothing but tear him down. Make it make sense.

[@kylephay6310]

You're just dumb. Thats all there is to it.

[@froglifes6829]

Lol Stay mad. Joe lies 24/7

[@starblade1]

I would love more norm videos. If you make more ill watch em all lol
