Man, that sitcom wrote itself. It came so easy, I'm sure in alternate universe Norm made it, and it was financed by Ohlmeyer.

[@itseveary5756]

all I searched was "the conway and whitman bodcast" and this showed up first. What a W

[@badad0166]

The gay bar sitcom idea is solid. Norm squirming as he tries to accept a reality he does not understand. That would be a fun exercise in uncomfortable conformity. 15 years ago, unfortunately, but still solid.

[@stephenstrang590]

Norm was genuinely entertained during this show.

Sam and Norm were diagnosed with different cancers together in 2012 and they don't make radio or podcast appearances any longer ...

[@vomit1lounge]

It's wild listening to this. Gotta say Norm showed such class in keeping the negativity of cancer to himself. He knew people would have treated him in a manner he never wanted. He only wanted to bring people joy and laughter. Good job, Norm. Thank you for everything!.

[@ELECTIONFRAUD-mr5wf]

Sad when lame radio hosts think they are funnier than the guest and try to prove it... unsuccessfully

[@NobodyCaresALot]

Go ahead, try to prove they aren't funnier then these comedy legends. Impossible! They have a show every day, they are brilliant wits! Norm's dead now and I've never heard of the other guy, so just how funny were they? Hilarious! I just wish Super Dave had called in to say something like my comment. Radio show guys are the worst. Morning Zoo fellas think they're running the place, in actuality, they are just monkeys in a cage with microphone. That's the attraction when you visit the "Zzzoo".

[@klopeck]

Tim Conway Jr. is actually a great guy and a very funny radio personality. Whitman really makes this cringy AF. He’s trying WAY too hard.
