@@rexseven93 lmao. Went to like your comment and realized I've liked it already when I listened to the interview for the first time, even though I don't remember it. Just the casual revisiting of any Norm interview to fall asleep...
23:27 Norm’s Gordon Lightfoot impersonation Ive lost count of Norm’s impressions, he does so many and they so scattered across interviews. Carson, Murphy, Dangerfield, Cosby, Letterman, Tarrantino, Maron, John Arnold, Walken, Marter, Nixon, Frost, Reynolds…a ventriloquist dummy,
Bill's interview style is best I've heard. Bill listens so well, doesn't interfere with a good response, and he lets a guy like Norm go. I loved Norm, so your style Bill really made this interview a sentimental pleasure to listen to. Thanks Bill!!
Be great to hear a conversation between Norm Macdonald, Steven Wright and Tom Kelly, former manager of the Minnesota Twins. Who could drone on half asleep the longest
@15:40 Bill Simmons thought Norm was a typical stand-up one-liner guy? Jesus Christ, Bill. Have you ever watched any Norm content at all? Nobody spins longer yarns than Norm.
@@jaro9467almost every joke he told on talk shows. He would just take old jokes and make them really long and drawn out and he’d talk funny while telling it.
I know this is a year later but this is my first time listening to this. He might have been a bit tired after taping a show the night before. However, he used to mention occasionally having to take benzos of different kinds for panic attacks. Maybe he broke off a bit of a Xanax bar before the interview. Lol.
Bill was so much better writing for ESPN. I swear he is so not entertaining that I half believe someone else wrote for him. Norm on the other hand is always gold
Great writer. Maybe my favorite sports writer of all time. I think his podcasting is just okay, but part of me probably thinks that because it took him away from writing. He is a strong interviewer, and can get almost any guest though.
Im not into sports but i like norm so much, that i will see how far i get with this, RIP Norm... I did watched it all the way through now im gonna watch some film noir, my favorite and watched all his movies, is robert mitchum, a weed smoker like norm
Beginning of this is good with Norm admitting he bumbled his way from one failure to the next year-after-year, and then he died. "Duffy" got on my nerves real fast and I ditched these two losers 20 minutes in. I'm surprised ESPN put up with this Boston cream doughnut for 14 years.
I love how Norm just lies about his age for no reason at all.
For the longest time we all thought he was born in 1963 lol. Maybe he felt weird about being kinda older
I say I'll be fifty in October!
Also, at the time of this podcast, Alex Almeida was 74. Norm just constantly misinformed other people for his own amusement.
@@fan5407 He wasn't 74, he was a peruvian 60.
I hope Norm had a happy life . He made a lot of people laugh throughout the years . He will be missed .
He did
For a deeply closeted gay guy he did
There’s a real stream of consciousness thing going on here.
Yeah it's called conversation
Why do you keep saying that?
@@BedrockLeadership They’re from the University of Science…
That's more of a comment really.
Or so the Germans would have us believe!
I won't say the name of the mining company it was MacIntyre Mine.
RIP to the best interview Bill Simmons ever did
Norm could do that kind of thing for anyone. I bet he could have been Dahmer's best meal.

@@supEnoc I've gone to comment on a video of Norm and found I already said the same thing before. The blessing of old age. Everything is new again.
23:27 Norm’s
Gordon Lightfoot impersonation

saturday july 13, 1985 - live aid broadcast day has some good ones too
His Super Dave impression is unbelievable. He did it in a radio interview and it sounds exactly like him
he just casually threw out a solid Lovitz in this interview as well
A Norm interview I haven’t heard!?? Thank you!
Bill's interview style is best I've heard. Bill listens so well, doesn't interfere with a good response, and he lets a guy like Norm go. I loved Norm, so your style Bill really made this interview a sentimental pleasure to listen to. Thanks Bill!!
'they only have 70 minutes left' lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
That’s not a lot in soccer though
It’s so funny that norm says he’s 47 in this interview when he’s not. Haha
He always lied about his age for no reason. Miss you norm, always hilarious
He finished high school at 12 and college at 7 years old.
“You got hockey?”
Norm-“Huh?”
Goddamn this guy knew how to talk to Norm
Fizzling
Into
Oblivion
my current favorite line. Oh norm
*olibian
Sports Show should’ve gone for 10 years
Smart, and funny interviewer.

Must’ve only seen weekend update
im glad im not the only one who thinks the interviewer is a dork.. he sounds like an annoying Jon Stewart...and he was a dork too
Yeah, Bill, don't you know as much about Norm as random people on the internet do? Shameful, I can't believe Norm agreed to do this.
Norm scored a draw with cancer
Did you just come up with that? 😂😂😂 hilarious!
The host was ok, at first, but then he forgot to laugh, and became "more virus than host."
We love Norm
💚💚💚
That kid must be on dope!
I love it when Norm messes up ppl’s names lol.

Norm stole that Lightfoot/Maggie May bit from Canadian singer Burton Cummings. And Lightfoot crushes Neil Young.
Its crazy how much stuff Norm stole and nobody says anything because he made it way funnier lol
@@michaelhauser6440What did he steal?
@@jaro9467almost every joke he told on talk shows. He would just take old jokes and make them really long and drawn out and he’d talk funny while telling it.
Ooo another "Xanax" interview
Maybe you should cut your dossage.
39:57 Mike Douglas... now people are going to think that's _Michael_ Douglas, so you should probably explain to the folks at home who Mike Douglas is.
Norm can make me laugh, but gambling makes me smile.
“How are you anti French if you live in Quebec?” Because I live in Quebec! Even the French are anti French when it comes to Quebec.😂
Bill is smart in EXACTLY one way
is he like good at math or something?
And Federer is still winning
Holy shit that’s @Ronald Jenkees in the intro and his own made beat
Wow, I didn't catch that before! CZcams history!
The voice at the beginning of these podcasts always reminded me of someone mocking George W Bush
norm sounds depressed here a little. great comedian.
Probably because he just found out he had cancer
I know this is a year later but this is my first time listening to this. He might have been a bit tired after taping a show the night before. However, he used to mention occasionally having to take benzos of different kinds for panic attacks. Maybe he broke off a bit of a Xanax bar before the interview. Lol.
Speed it up to 1.5x and it sounds normal
50:03 wow this is referencing the Gilgo Beach murders. They just caught and arrested the guy last month lol
Holy shit I was thinking it was him!
Bill was so much better writing for ESPN. I swear he is so not entertaining that I half believe someone else wrote for him. Norm on the other hand is always gold
Great writer. Maybe my favorite sports writer of all time.

The joke starting around 59:00 is so great
Haha genius
The bird story is true btw!
Neil wrote Old Man about the caretaker on his farm in California, not his father.
Not being able to remember Primm bothered me lol
Im not into sports but i like norm so much, that i will see how far i get with this, RIP Norm... I did watched it all the way through now im gonna watch some film noir, my favorite and watched all his movies, is robert mitchum, a weed smoker like norm
Norm is the king
Gord Lightfoot 😂🤣🤣🤣
the sign to vegas from l a for the cassino was first chance, on the reverse it was last chance
Simmons shits in the pool with backhanded complimenting of norm at 16:00
23:11

Lol is this the sportnet big voice guy??
39:05 😭
In 2033 Norm's gonna be DEAD 38:48
He'll continue to be, yeah. Unless we find a way to bring him back.
@@jaro9467 I'll donate all my money to that guy working on bringing dead guys back to life. And then I'll sit on a chair.
