So it's Free Comedy Friday today, and we're very excited
to have our next guest in because we've been doing
Free Comedy Friday for I don't even know how long,
fifteen years almost, and it's rare that we get such
a big name headliner who hasn't been in here before.
But this is the first time that Jim Norton is
here in studio with us, which is awesome. He's performing
(00:20):
at the American Comedy Company this weekend. Jim, welcome into
the studio. Thank you, and beck to San Diego. You
haven't been to San Diego in a while, a.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Long I think ten years. I might have come here
for something else. I did some event recently where they
had me like I was the guest interview in front
of it.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Oh, the audience was disappointed.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
They hope it's like a big actor and then it's
telling hooker stories like this sucks.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
This sucks. It sounds like a good time. I don't know,
but they did not know.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Didn't go over.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Carol Baskin. It was a fun event. But Tiger King, yeah, yeah,
does that.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Some like rich person's house or like a conference center.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
It was a rich guy, Okay, he had an event
where he does this thing every year where I forget
what the event was, reinterviewed somebody in front of an audience,
and I was the disappointing the Carol Basking was off
doing something else, and I think they were all waiting
for Carol boy well done in comedy. Yeah, yeah, we
didn't have tried. But she almost killed her husband. Let's
(01:25):
talk to her or did she? I mean, we don't know,
almost that's been trying to be legally smart.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Can't assume me for saying, almost, Tagger, we don't know,
we don't know. Well, Jim, glad to have you here, man. Yeah,
and you know the fact that you're here on radio
is old hat to you. I mean, this is what
you used to do and what you're thinking. Yeah, you
know so not. You mean getting up early still.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
Sucks, you know, for us, it's the worst, you know,
But I mean, the only thing I don't like about it.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Honestly, I've been doing this for over thirty years and
I'm still not used.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
To never get used to it.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
And it's one of those things where it never feels good,
and the minute you stop the first time you have
to do it again, you're like, oh, that's right.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yes, waking up early sucks because I would do gigs.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I would do sets at the comedy cellar.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
I don't know how you do that.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Come in in the morning and our studio was right
down from the hall from Stern, so I would see
already laying on the elevator almost every morning. And it
was like we would get there at the exact same time.
I'm like, he's doing Heroin and he's making it to
work the same time I did.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Possible. That's brutal. It was so would you only get
like maybe an hour or two sleep?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
No, we started at six back then our times shoul
There was one point we were six to eleven and
I would go h I'd get to bed sometimes by
one o'clock.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Was the goal. To try to get up by five
or five fifteen, which is awful.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah, people coming over right, things to accomplish.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
The other thing that we have in common, Jim, is
you know you were one of the first podcasts talking
about us see you and Matt Sarah you know did
that the podcast for a really long time and one
of the first honestly talking to m M a ufc
all that stuff. Well, I'm on the UFC Rankings Panel
and have been since day one, and so a big
UFC guy, okay, and so yeah, the fact that you
(03:15):
know you were a big MMA fan two and all
that stuff.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
We have that in common. We still do it.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
I mean every Monday and Wednesday, Matt and I do
ufccre alter it. It's fun, it's truly. I mean, you know,
I'm not an expert on fighting at all. I'm just
like my job is to kind of keep it moving
a little.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
For sure.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Matt is the guy who.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Yeah he's breaking down the actual fighters. You know you're
not saying how he got him in the rear neakedchoke
and whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yeah, I just I don't know how I can't. I'll
never It's it's a language. It's like anything else. It's
like if you speak it naturally, because you fight, you
understand how to speak the language. But you can always
tell when somebody doesn't speak the language. Yes, legitimately, right,
no doubt. So do you still watch every every weekend?
You say almost every weekend? There's one tonight tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Yeah, that's gonna be a big one.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
I know.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I'm glad I can miss it, though.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Everybody will because they're coming to see you at America Cup.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
That's how dumb I am, though, That's that's this is
what an idiot I am at my age. But guys,
check out you have seen tomorrow night? And can I
have against Perira too?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Nothing else going on? To stay home?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Watch wait Jim, you're performing? You know all right?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I'll languish is round nine?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
People?
Speaker 3 (04:15):
You enjoyed the fight to hang myself in the hotel.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
It is, it is what it is.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
There's so many good fights. I think like, I'm going
to try to schedule a round of five. Done that before?
You want to do something, so you kind of you
schedule a certain way and then you go to but
I just I never think to do it.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
It's tough.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Can you watch them later or is it?
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Yeah? So you will.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
It's not like, oh I missed it, it's been spoiled.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
What's great about have social media?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Yeah, it is tough. You get spoiled.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
What is great though, that on the app you know
right now you can go and we watch the event
or just fight by fight. Yes, they'll break it down
fight by fight so you don't have to sit through
all the you know, garbage or anything.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
They don't want to see you because you don't have
to do it. There's this one waitress in this club
I work all the time, and she would always blow
fights for me. Like I don't watch them, but sometimes
I'll watch me the next morning, so I stay off
and I'll walk in show you how.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
About how to sign yet shut.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Social media is terrible for that. I mean, like, even
if you watched reality shows or anything, you just got
to stay off it if you don't watch it live.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
It's brutal reality shows.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I don't watch any, but I used to watch Fiance because
my wife is from another countries, so I'll watch it
and get depressed trying to think she ever.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Gets in the US.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
And now that she did, I'm like, wow, now I
know why I was depressed. Yeah, she's here so much
better when I was just paying her for sex.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
What from Dorway? Oh wow?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah yeah, yeah, that's that's actually the job. I'm half Norwegian.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Oh yeah, she's she's another disappointing.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
She hates uh.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
She loves talking about Norway and but we just don't
get the love they should like. And I think they're
all very proud of being from Norway. Anything Norwegian. She
gets very excited about and I've never seen anybody react
that much to a mention of their country.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
That's because knowing nobody talks about normal.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Yeah, that's true. You don't. You don't think of no
way that much.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Are you watching that documentary?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
There's a documentary where there's the princess married that shaman
from l a is Silva. Actually he's he's the shaman
from la who said he had a coin that could
cure cancer. And there's a giant scandal in the Norwegian
royal family.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Watch Netflix or.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
What it's called. Yeah, that's that's a great job to bring.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
This radio to see that thing with that guy and
he looks like that one dude.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Literally, I've done radio for twenty years. I worked it
with that crap.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
If you threw me off your show right now, no don't.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
It was the greatest tease ever. I just got to
figure out what it is it really? You got that
one thing.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
It's called it's called Rebel Royals an Unlikely Love Story
on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Yes, wow, I just find that.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
I just go Norwegian Prince is reality start?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Okay, we got it?
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Shaman or like one of those guys Hollywood, which is
revolting drinking Epstein driver has more taking a salmon.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
So true, that's crazy again. You gotta go see Jimmy's
performing at the American Comedy Club and a couple of
shows tonight, a couple of shows tomorrow night. Now, jim
you're obviously East Coast guy, Yes, you know for Jersey
right Jersey.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Well, Thor is our resident New Yorker born and raised
Long Island guy. Yeah, and sold you guys being out here,
you know, for as long as he has been.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
It's it's just so different.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Yeah, I've been out here in nineteen years, which is crazy.
We've got here when I was nineteen years old, and
it's it's completely different. It doesn't have to say I
love it out here. Yeah, it's just the I missed
the attitude. Even having you in studio and hearing you
talk show. It's just like a little taste of the
East Coast. But I grew up listening to you and
Stern and Mike and the Mad Dog and all that stuff.
And then Eddie's been radio such a long time and
(08:01):
the stuff you guys got to do thirty years ago.
Radio I've only been a radio like fourteen years. So
it's completely different. So the stories are wild Well. We
were on x at one point we still had kicked
off regular radio. They got we have fired in two
thousand and two, but then we came back on satellite.
It was just XEM for a while before the merger,
and we were the first show, or one of the
first shows to when the Mel Gibson tapes broke, which
(08:23):
they're so funny.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
I mean, we still play clips from Mel.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
We were able to play them and talk through them uncensored,
which was so amazing.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
You really got.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah, especially coming from terrestrial radio, we couldn't do certain.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Thing, didn't say any of that stuff, and then you
could hear Mel's wisdom. I became mal immediately. Can you
be everyone knows the rules? You use the jacuzzi?
Speaker 3 (08:49):
You know you got I was coming in.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I heard you guys, listening to you guys, and you're
you're the one that was when you said the Yankees
when I stopped watching baseball, but you said, yeah, we
need to and I was like, one of those guys
must be from.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Yeah, yeah, I'm a I'm a Yankee fan. I'm a
New York Giants fan. Okay, Nick's Rangers grew up, all that,
all that stuff. I stopped watching Team Sport. I just
watched UFC because I got so it would ruin my week.
It would ruin after the Giants have been so bad
for like a decade now. And I'll come in on
(09:22):
a Monday and there and I feel bad because I'm miser.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I'm now rooting for the Giants to win, just so
I don't have to deal with this.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Yeah, that's how it is a whole Everything in life
becomes a codependent marriage.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
We just need him to be happy.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Doesn't drink, yes, guy, And I will look at you know,
look it up on Sunday before we come in to
see what the score of the Giants game was, because.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Watch what the mos going to be like.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
And I'm a sober guy, so for some reason, I
feel like I get angrier than normal.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
That's exactly it, because there's not I'm sober too, and
there's not there's not the release people would normally exactly
drinking and like, you know, doing something. You're running somebody
over by the way home stress like Jets.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Were you a Jets fan or.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
I was a Cowboy fan?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
But I think I became that like from the seventies
where the Cowboys were losing to the Steelers, and I
think my whole family was rooting for Pittsburgh, so I
think I'm by default rooted for Dallas. I think that's
how it started. Okay, but I can't. I can't watch
professional sports.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Jersey's interesting too, because you got like Philly fans there
and the New York fans, and so a Dallas fan
is kind.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Of Dallas are kind of everywhere though.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Bandwagon.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I was a kid, but now I'll only watch a
team if they're winning. I used to do a bit
about it, but it's the true. I just won't watch
teams that are losing anymore. Why waste your time.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
I do it every Sunday.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I would be so upset and it just it really
it took her hangover. Man, you feel it the next day.
You feel it throughout the week, and I'm like, what
am I doing?
Speaker 6 (10:54):
Like, well, now my wife's pregnant. She's about almost she's
at almost nine months now. Any now we're gonna have
a kid, and I'm like worried about I said to her,
I'm like, if the Giants don't turn it around, I
can't make him a Giants fan.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
I can't do this.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Don't start them off young on that because the whole
life is going to be geared around Sunday and what
these other men do.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
It's so stupid.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
I can't fighting.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
You don't care because if a guy loses a fight,
he doesn't fight again for three months, so you're just watching.
You don't root for fighters the same way. It's not
like a team. You're just watching a guy fight.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I got guys that I enjoy watching, but if they lose,
all right, what do I care?
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Right?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
That's why I don't gamble though. That's why I don't
like like Matt and I do are picks. Like all
we picked fighters. She's better at it than I am.
But when I'm watching, I'm so invested in the guy
I picked, and I don't even like doing that. I
don't like rooting against the guy just because I picked
him to lose.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
So stupid. That makes sense, GM.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
I have a tattoo of the Giants logo on my arm.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
I mean, I get it. I mean it's something you love.
If I had a tattoo, it'd be me handing over
money in Brazil. Somebody loves it? Makes sense?
Speaker 4 (12:13):
You gotta.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I gotta go see Jim this weekend. American Comedy Company,
A couple of shows todnight, a couple of shows tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Hopefully you come back Jim more often. Man, we love
I love san Diego. Everyone says that when they're in
a city. But it's fine. I did a set last
night there. It's a great club.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Good.

Speaker 4 (12:30):

Speaker 3 (05:52):
She hates uh.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
She loves talking about Norway and but we just don't
get the love they should like. And I think they're
all very proud of being from Norway. Anything Norwegian. She
gets very excited about and I've never seen anybody react
that much to a mention of their country.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
That's because knowing nobody talks about normal.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Yeah, that's true. You don't. You don't think of no
way that much.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Are you watching that documentary?

Literally, I've done radio for twenty years. I worked it
with that crap.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
If you threw me off your show right now, no don't.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
It was the greatest tease ever. I just got to
figure out what it is it really? You got that
one thing.
Speaker 6 (06:51):

So true, that's crazy again. You gotta go see Jimmy's

you're obviously East Coast guy, Yes, you know for Jersey
right Jersey.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Well, Thor is our resident New Yorker born and raised
Long Island guy. Yeah, and sold you guys being out here,
you know, for as long as he has been.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
It's it's just so different.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Yeah, I've been out here in nineteen years, which is crazy.
We've got here when I was nineteen years old, and
it's it's completely different. It doesn't have to say I
love it out here. Yeah, it's just the I missed
the attitude. Even having you in studio and hearing you
talk show. It's just like a little taste of the
East Coast. But I grew up listening to you and
Stern and Mike and the Mad Dog and all that stuff.
And then Eddie's been radio such a long time and
(08:01):
the stuff you guys got to do thirty years ago.
Radio I've only been a radio like fourteen years. So
it's completely different. So the stories are wild Well. We
were on x at one point we still had kicked
off regular radio. They got we have fired in two
thousand and two, but then we came back on satellite.
It was just XEM for a while before the merger,
and we were the first show, or one of the
first shows to when the Mel Gibson tapes broke, which
(08:23):
they're so funny.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
I mean, we still play clips from Mel.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
We were able to play them and talk through them uncensored,
which was so amazing.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
You really got.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah, especially coming from terrestrial radio, we couldn't do certain.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Thing, didn't say any of that stuff, and then you
could hear Mel's wisdom. I became mal immediately. Can you
be everyone knows the rules? You use the jacuzzi?
Speaker 3 (08:49):
You know you got I was coming in.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I heard you guys, listening to you guys, and you're
you're the one that was when you said the Yankees
when I stopped watching baseball, but you said, yeah, we
need to and I was like, one of those guys
must be from.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Yeah, yeah, I'm a I'm a Yankee fan. I'm a
New York Giants fan. Okay, Nick's Rangers grew up, all that,
all that stuff. I stopped watching Team Sport. I just
watched UFC because I got so it would ruin my week.
It would ruin after the Giants have been so bad
for like a decade now. And I'll come in on
(09:22):
a Monday and there and I feel bad because I'm miser.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I'm now rooting for the Giants to win, just so
I don't have to deal with this.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Yeah, that's how it is a whole Everything in life
becomes a codependent marriage.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
We just need him to be happy.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Doesn't drink, yes, guy, And I will look at you know,
look it up on Sunday before we come in to
see what the score of the Giants game was, because.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Watch what the mos going to be like.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
And I'm a sober guy, so for some reason, I
feel like I get angrier than normal.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
That's exactly it, because there's not I'm sober too, and
there's not there's not the release people would normally exactly
drinking and like, you know, doing something. You're running somebody
over by the way home stress like Jets.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Were you a Jets fan or.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
I was a Cowboy fan?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
But I think I became that like from the seventies
where the Cowboys were losing to the Steelers, and I
think my whole family was rooting for Pittsburgh, so I
think I'm by default rooted for Dallas. I think that's
how it started. Okay, but I can't. I can't watch
professional sports.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Jersey's interesting too, because you got like Philly fans there
and the New York fans, and so a Dallas fan
is kind.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Of Dallas are kind of everywhere though.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Bandwagon.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I was a kid, but now I'll only watch a
team if they're winning. I used to do a bit
about it, but it's the true. I just won't watch
teams that are losing anymore. Why waste your time.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
I do it every Sunday.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I would be so upset and it just it really
it took her hangover. Man, you feel it the next day.
You feel it throughout the week, and I'm like, what
am I doing?
Speaker 6 (10:54):
Like, well, now my wife's pregnant. She's about almost she's
at almost nine months now. Any now we're gonna have
a kid, and I'm like worried about I said to her,
I'm like, if the Giants don't turn it around, I
can't make him a Giants fan.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
I can't do this.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Don't start them off young on that because the whole
life is going to be geared around Sunday and what
these other men do.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
It's so stupid.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
I can't fighting.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
You don't care because if a guy loses a fight,
he doesn't fight again for three months, so you're just watching.
You don't root for fighters the same way. It's not
like a team. You're just watching a guy fight.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I got guys that I enjoy watching, but if they lose,
all right, what do I care?
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Right?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
That's why I don't gamble though. That's why I don't
like like Matt and I do are picks. Like all
we picked fighters. She's better at it than I am.
But when I'm watching, I'm so invested in the guy
I picked, and I don't even like doing that. I
don't like rooting against the guy just because I picked
him to lose.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
So stupid. That makes sense, GM.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
I have a tattoo of the Giants logo on my arm.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
I mean, I get it. I mean it's something you love.
If I had a tattoo, it'd be me handing over
money in Brazil. Somebody loves it? Makes sense?
Speaker 4 (12:13):
You gotta.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I gotta go see Jim this weekend. American Comedy Company,
A couple of shows todnight, a couple of shows tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Hopefully you come back Jim more often. Man, we love
I love san Diego. Everyone says that when they're in
a city. But it's fine. I did a set last
night there. It's a great club.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
