Nick knowing how to book Norm (an ultra-boomer with an assistant and a singular land-line for communication) for the show is one of his greatest individual superpowers

[@benpfriem5511]

Yeah the more I think about Mullen doing the booking for some of the guests, the more questions I have.

[@NickolaiPetrovitch]

I don’t think Nick booked him, Adam pointed at the cameraman David and said it’s because of this 20 year old this is happening, I think he was trying to set me up in response to his prompted challenge to make a joke on lynching by norm

[@highecuador1873]

I wonder how many times Norm said 'hold I cant hear you' not because he cant hear you but because he wants to dominate the conversation. All boomers do this on the phone.

[@Bizarro69]

Ultra-Boomer ! Tim Dillon would love that, I'll haggle him about it.

[@Hydra-V]

Could've just gone with, Emmet proved those who thought he'd amount to nothing, wrng and simultaneously right.

[@deepinjapanpodcast7294]

Norman was clueless when Adam used the word “stoked,” and Adam didn’t even seem to realize it. It’s almost impossible for them to understand each other lol

[@omegahaddad833]

The fact that Norm laughed from the heart and had patience is so wonderful

[@SoDamnGangsta]

He has godlike patience if you ever watched any of his debates with fucking idiots, he was having fun here

[@garrettramirez428]

It's like Ali G, but the guests know it's coming. And Adam's genuinely stupid.

[@marlboroman6370]

I imagine nick is just in the corner silently smiling ear to ear this whole episode.

It's nice to see Norman laugh and relax a bit. I'm guessing he's exhausted right now and needs an outlet like this.

[@DreamShoreChill]

For real. Norm needed a break

[@therealshah]

I have a few mutual friends of Norm and have hung out with him over the years. one thing I always liked about him is that he has an amazing sense of humor and even has jokes. I’m happy people finally get to see this side of him instead of always seeing him so serious.

[@TwilightBornGirl]

WOAH. I never thought I would see Dr. Finkelstein smile so much during an interview. :)

[@Stable_Genius]

I know. Kind of weird, huh?

[@cowboybrooklyn]

Norman Finkelstein is the perfect straight man. It seems impossible for him to hide both his deliberate serious nature and his wry sense of humor, truly magical.

"I know you're a young man, and you couldn't envisage what it was like back then-" "Sock hops. Soda jerks,"
