Joe Rogan Experience #1421 - Jim Norton

three two one vancouver april 20th we're doing a 420 show cheeto santino andrew
santino tony
hinchcliffe and me at some big ass arena go to joe rogan.com we're doing uh
every year hi jimmy
hi buddy i do a 420 show no headphones you want to do headphones or no
headphones i don't mind
casual no i don't uh i don't mind a weird thing with one i have to i'm claustrophobic
really yeah
it feels weird you feel like the headphones are trapping you i don't know i i
feel like i'm
underwater like i don't like the way that sounds and now i know that's better i
look like an
asshole but it feels better a lot of people do that yeah a lot of musicians do
that they do like
one in one out it's the air it's feeling the air i don't know why the pressure
of the headphones i
just don't like it i like to be trapped you do trapped in the headphones i don't
care for it at
all i like uh hearing the other person's voice right next to mine so i don't
talk louder than they talk
we don't talk over each other that's what it does that's professional but i can't
like howard i heard
would do it where like they wouldn't even look at each other like i have to be
in the room
looking at the person's mouth like i don't like to do it and look at each other
no meaning the way
they were set up for the cameras sometimes you're facing both kind of the same
way because of the
cameras they weren't always i don't think face to face if you looked at this
old setup wasn't like
arty sitting behind him at one point yeah arty was sitting to the side of him
and um and then
the guest was like over there yeah yeah i could never do that well you know howard
also runs a
board that's the difference like he's got a bunch of in front of him he's
actually
a trained radio guy he knows all the jamie shit he knows all them switches all
that fancy stuff yeah
yeah i have no idea what the fuck's going on over there i can basically set i
can i can start and
stop but i hate i hate running the board it's distracting and i don't like
doing it it just it
doesn't feel fun you know what's crazy is they have full setups now for
podcasts like a podcast
board that you buy like it's set up for podcasts just plug mics into it and it's
all kind of there
is that they have audio compression on those things too it's called like uh the
podcaster pro or
something like that's in the name yeah you can put a phone into it for calls
and yeah yeah oh wow
yeah you want to take calls i like being live we're live now too yeah i like
right now on this no
we're not live anymore oh you don't do live oh okay because i always like the
feeling of live
because if you up it's out there no there was companies that were they were
taking clips as we
were live and uploading them immediately and building these huge channels with
hundreds of thousands of
subscribers and you could use that for anything they were selling things they
had links to stuff
they're basically building a business off of your clips so you got to be a
little bit more you can't
let that happen because you also don't know what they're going to turn that
channel into you know they
could turn that channel into anything right it's youtube is still a little bit
of like a wild west
sort of situation then there was also copyright issues like you get three
copyright flags in a row
they take your whole channel down and we had gotten a bunch of them we've
gotten them for clips that we
show we got them for pictures like you have to try to figure out like what's
what is it what are you
allowed to do what are you not allowed to do what's fair use and is it fair use
mean they just don't
come after you for it like i don't know what that what it means either it's it's
not that clearly defined
unfortunately but it's also you know like the the internet in general you know
at one point in time
you can kind of put it like at one point in time if you went to youtube you
would find all kinds of
shit that was on people's channels that was copyright protected stuff tv shows
movies music all kinds of
stuff and they've slowly started you know not not really slowly is it accurate
to say they've kind of
eliminated a lot of that stuff now but they're operating at an insane scale
like the amount of
people that upload stuff to youtube every day is it's probably unimaginable
like if you could see
it you can't keep up with it right if you had a giant screen in front of you
and you saw all the
videos that are being instantly uploaded to youtube at any given moment you'd
probably like what yeah
like there's more there was some crazy quote that there's more content created
today like i think
what is the number it's it's almost like in one day there's more content being
created than in all
of human history before like 10 years ago wow yeah well how many podcasts are
there isn't like a couple
hundred thousand podcasts for a while the 700 000 700 000 podcasts yeah it's it's
also i don't know how
they keep up with uh what you're allowed to put on what you're not if somebody
doesn't complain do they
catch it and pull it off uh or the algorithms catch it and pull it off
sometimes yeah here what is
this every minute of the day there's like all these things are happening every
minute of the day
four million one hundred sixty six thousand users like posts on facebook but
what is the youtube right
here 300 hours it's uploaded every minute wow but what about um the thing about
data like the amount of data
that people produce today it's supposed it's something like that i think it's
like one days where the data
is equivalent to the entire human history up until like 20 years ago or
something like that
uh-huh ad block they gotcha what does it say here let's see if they have that
does it say that i know
what you're talking about yeah yeah it's a nutty quote more than 3.7 billion
humans use the internet
god damn it yep who's it is there people out there with no internet you know do
you know don gavin is
funny you say don gavin i literally i know who he is from all you guys the boston
guys love him
i just got him on spotify because i've seen clips and i'm like dane uh cook put
something up that gavin
is re-releasing an album yes so i want to hear him really do stand-up because i
really never watched
it'd be so funny really good oh he's great yeah but i never i never sat down
and watched him do a set
back in the day he was the king like when we were in boston you just sit back
and you go oh my god
i should quit i should quit doing comedy he was so good and uh he'd never sent
a text in his life
until he texted me to be on the show really yeah that was your first text was
to you yeah he's like
it took me about a fucking hour and a half i don't know the fuck i'm doing here
yeah he's um he's so
old school like he doesn't just calls people and he had never sent a text bob
kelly's like that
though like some guys are phone guy bob kelly's a phone guy like uh you'll text
him and you won't
hear back and uh he likes to talk on the phone i hate it yeah joey diaz does
that too he's a phone
guy yeah joe but joey has a logic to it he goes i want to hear your voice he
goes i'm insecure i don't
want to see no text message he goes i don't know what that is what are you
saying i want to hear your
voice i want to hear the love in your voice okay that makes sense it's also a
great way to uh not have
things recorded if you don't want them actually in print but yes uh bobby just
liked the phone
like i hate it drives me nuts too because people no i never my phone's always
on silent one too many
times i was in a relationship fucking three in the morning you're getting a
vibration i'm like
fuck right so my phone's been on silent for 10 years 10 years yeah 10 years of
silence 10 years
i'm hiding from that ring ringers they're gross like when you hear someone in a
restaurant like get the out of here with that thing but isn't it great watching
somebody panic
and going to their purse yeah you ever watch somebody panic and reach for their
phone like
that's a justified reaction when you're panicking and going for your stuff i
kind of i kind of
appreciate that dude i was just thinking before you sat down we've known each
other for so long
and now we're like these old men on the radio we've known each other since we
were kids yeah like
when i first met you we were both in our 20s early 20s young comics hanging
around in new york
and now we're old yeah we are all i think the first men we did a gig together
and i remember
it specifically uh i think you featured actually i think i was the host of you
with the feature and
you were doing a bit about tyson and robin givens and uh and i want to say it
was 1992 up in the uh
mountains in jersey for a guy named uh pat guarini i could be incorrect but i
think it was around
night lake apacon it might have been 1992 but i'm pretty sure that was the year
could be did a lot
of gigs yeah it's hard to remember and you were close with a guy named john tobin
who i remember well
yeah yeah yeah it's um the passage of time is a strange thing man it really is
because most of the
time it doesn't seem like it's anything significant it's just life you get up
when the alarm goes off
you you need to eat breakfast you put your clothes on but then one day you know
you're hanging out with
someone like like you that i i only get to see you like once a year maybe twice
a year yeah and then
i'm like oh yeah look we're old yeah we're fucking the the world keeps going
yeah keep you keep on keep on
aging but do you mind it like i don't mind it because the more people you know
that die like as you get older
and they start dying not just from unnatural causes but natural causes you're
like i guess like
whenever people die now as much as it's sad i'm always like okay that's one
more person i lasted
longer than and it's not that i'm happy to see them go i know what you're
saying but it's like i know
your blessings count your blessings man i'm winding my life down yeah yeah you
got to count your blessings
it's it's one of those things where it's so easy to get complacent it's so easy
to not you know to
not appreciate things it's so easy yeah i look around my life sometimes you get
depressed and
you look and you're like what am i complaining i have everything i wanted like
if you told 18
year old jimmy norton that he would be complaining about this i would have spit
on myself well it's
like what we were talking about before the show that there was these people on
a show and they weren't
making as much as the lead guy who was this famous guy and they were really
pissed off at him and
complaining and then they they eventually the guy over and the show got
canceled now they don't have
anything yeah like you don't realize like how good it is because everyone's
comparing themselves to
other folks they're comparing themselves to other people that they're around or
other people that
they're with or i remember i was reading something about iran barkley do you
remember who he is i do
yeah former middleweight boxing champion bad um iran barkley uh went broke even
though he made
millions of dollars because he was hanging out with all these pro athletes and
everybody's just out doing
everybody everybody's getting a lamborghini or a gold chain that's bigger than
the other guy's gold
chain or a bigger house or bigger this or bigger that the next thing you know
you're broke you spent
it all yeah and you're like and it's just this it's all relative like even
though you've got things
great you don't have it as great as that guy over there so comparatively you
feel like a loser
but you got to know where you're at too like getting fired for me when we got
kicked off opi and anthony
in 2002 best thing that ever happened to me because it showed me that it could
all be taken away from
you so long before this whole culture of just cancel culture and all this
happened i had had that
moment of life is good and then you're out that was the condoleezza rice thing
right no that was on
xm that's when we almost
