The Joe Rogan experience.
Remember when Dennis Miller would say a bunch of crazy shit that like
No one could know. Yeah, it would laugh. It would be like the most obscure
references about like the
1400s. Yeah, he had a tone though. Yeah funny reference. You had to know what
he was saying or you were a fucking loser.
I'm talking about Arafat, babe.
Sounds pretty good.
I was on a plane with Norm Macdonald once just randomly and he sat next to me
goes, you know, he doesn't even know any of that stuff.
He's like, yeah, he's just fucking finds out and writes it down and he just
says it. It's not like he knows it.
Norm on the Dennis Miller show was unreal. Yeah, he was unreal.
Great clips. Of him on Dennis Miller. My hero, yeah, yeah.
Isn't it the most Norm thing ever to not tell everybody that you were dying of
cancer and then just died?
What a G. What a fucking G. What a G. Badass.
Badass. A total Norm move too, right? Yeah, I know.
Sympathy from everybody. Fuck off. He got cancelled. He got to put that card on
the table.
Cancer, motherfucker. And he didn't even tell his best friends. He said he was
going to Canada to take care of his mom.
He didn't tell me either.
He told Adam Egan he's got a big race coming for him.
He didn't tell Adam. How dare you.
He didn't tell Adam. Damn.
That's the last joke.
What?
Genius comic, though.
Genius.
He was so unique in his, the way, he expressed himself how he was really
thinking.
Like the way he would, like he would say something fucked up to you in the
green room.
He would say the exact same thing on stage.
It was just like, and he would say, he had this way of looking at things that
was absolutely unique to him.
Yeah. He bombed a good bit too.
He did. He took chances.
Which must have been so fun to watch.
I never saw him bomb.
I never saw him bomb.
I saw the Caroline's ones, fucking throwing down one.
God, it was like he didn't care.
I saw the Caroline's too.
Didn't care.
He got heckled. He was drinking a Coca-Cola and he got heckled and he was like,
I don't want to do this.
I'm just going to go back to my act.
And that was it.
Completely randomly.
Just like, don't feel like it right now.
I could, don't want to.
Completely randomly.
Two times in my life, I sat next to him on a plane.
Just totally random.
That's so weird.
Remember in Vancouver, random at the airport.
Yep.
Once in Vancouver and once somewhere else.
And the last one, he was talking about, yeah, I quit smoking.
He was telling me how he quit smoking.
Yeah, it was hard.
It was really hard to quit and I did it.
And you know, fucking smoking's terrible for you.
So we land.
He walks as fast as he can off the plane, right into one of those stores and
buys a pack of cigarettes.
And he's opening up and he's got one in his mouth as he's out the door.
He went off for an hour about how it's terrible for you.
He's so glad he's out over it.
So I'm outside with him.
I go, what are you doing?
I thought you quit smoking.
He goes, yeah, but all that fucking talking about it, I wanted a cigarette.
So was he being funny or was he just a weirdo?
No, no, no.
He was just a genius.
I mean, I think.
Didn't drive, right?
Didn't drive.
Didn't drive.
Just invited people to go do tennis and stuff.
So he'd be like, pick me up on the way.
His brain was just wired different.
Yeah.
It was just wired different all the time.
But like, he just decided, well, let's smoke.
And just, I mean, he couldn't light it quick enough.
On the way out the door.
