I want to make sure that I get to the whole reason why is a fancy man like
yourself out here in Los Angeles?
Are you working on something? What's going on?
Well, thanks, Bill. My advice show is coming on and I just have to come out and
plug it.
It's hard to plug shit.
No, it isn't. That's great, dude. Tell me about the show.
I'm happy about it to do it. It's just an interview show. I talk to, I do a monologue.
I mean, I feel ashamed whenever I explain things that are good.
I don't know. Whatever makes me a comic is that fucking shame thing.
Colin described it as shame, finally.
It's hosting a talk show and I always wanted to do it.
So I hosted, I did four episodes and a monologue, a sketch.
You're hosting a talk show?
Yeah, yeah.
That's fucking great.
Yeah, I'm happy, man.
My first guests were Tyson and Dana White together.
And it was awesome.
It was a really good interview and I was like, wow, man, that went well.
I've never seen, and I mean this in a good way.
I've never seen them give a guy like you a talk show.
No, they don't.
That's great.
Yeah, because usually it's, you know, they're usually telling, you know, if you're
doing a
talk show, hey, Jim, kind of tone it down a little.
So what channel is it on?
It's on vice.com.
You know, it's online, which is kind of where I wanted it.
And now can you curse and stuff?
Do whatever you want.
Total content freedom.
Oh, my God.
I had total content freedom.
Bailey J is my co-host.
And she's kind of like my announcer.
Do you know Bailey?
Yeah.
Lovely girl.
And, you know, so I think it's, I think it turned out.
It was Bobby's suggestion.
It's like, dude, you got to get Bailey involved.
And I think it's, I think it's.
Oh, Bailey J, the, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Who the fuck was I thinking of?
I interviewed, you know, I interviewed Freeway Rick.
You know who that, the drug dealer, the ex-drug dealer?
No.
The black guy Rick Ross took his name from.
Oh, that's us.
That sounds like a seventies black guy nickname.
It is.
It is.
He did 20 years.
Yeah.
He did.
And he was a big dealer in the eighties.
He was like with the Iran Contra, uh, scandal.
Like he was buying the guy he was getting his drugs from was, was funneling
money to the
Contras.
And then, uh, you know, Rick went to jail for, he had life without parole, but
he's out
now on a technicality.
Cause they, it was like a three strikes thing or whatever, but they charged him
twice.
So who optioned the rights for this fucking great movie?
I, you know, he's got to own him.
No one.
Michael K.
Williams is playing him in something in, in, in, in, there's a, the reporter
who broke
his story is being played by Jeremy Renner.
And I think the reporter committed suicide because people laughed at him.
The whole Iran Contra thing and the drug connection, the CIA putting money in
the black
neighborhoods.
We had TI.
And wait a minute.
They laughed at him.
So he, the reporters back then, they didn't think he was right.
Like I think when he was talking about the government, the CIA allowing drugs
into
these ghetto neighborhoods.
How bad did they laugh at him?
He must've been getting fucked.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He probably expected a Pulitzer.
They were like, were they hanging him from his press undies every day from the
typewriter?
Yeah.
They keep picking on me, man.
I can't take it.
I swear to God, there's a connection.
They're letting the drugs come in.
I fucking feel it.
Yeah.
And then he wound up blowing his brains out by being proven right.
We thought TI was, TI was on a week before I interviewed Rick Ross and we were
like, eh, it
sounded kind of paranoid.
Dude, those are great guests.
Well, TI was on Opie and Anthony, not on, uh.
Whatever.
But he was talking about the, the, the, the drugs wouldn't, uh, like, I don't
know.
It sounded a little bit conspiracy.
And then Rick Ross did the same thing.
I'm like, fuck, man.
Yeah, I was right.
Like I've heard it from too many different sources that the CIA apologized.
It was really interesting.
So he was a good interview.
And then I did a couple of, uh, comedians and, uh, you know, hopefully we'll do
more.
No, dude, I, you gotta, when's, when's this coming out?
This Wednesday, July 23rd.
And how does, I can't say what time, like, I guess when, when are they going to
upload it?
I don't know.
I'll just Twitter it.
I'm not sure that, you know, it's like they, I don't know how this one works.
Like I'm used to doing promotion for stuff.
Like I know exactly what day it's on.
I know exactly what time it's on.
Right.
The first episode is being released in two parts because it's, uh, you know, it's
a,
it's like a 45 minute interview plus 20 other minutes of content.
So it's like one day and then the next day and then they can watch the whole
thing.
Uh, you know, that sounds like a great, great guess.
And then, you know, sidekick, nobody has anybody like Bailey J.
That's great.
And then usually a guy like you doesn't get you guys.
They usually, you're usually the guy the way they're like, all right, you know,
just tone
it down, tone it down.
So to see a real, I can't say, I don't want to insult anybody, but like
somebody, my
taste actually going out, doing a monologue and that type of stuff that you're
going to
pick on.
That's fucking awesome, man.
It felt so nice to not have to tone it down.
Cause in one of the episodes, I just did a bunch of sterling stuff, which I've
been doing
on stage, but it's like, how long is that going to be good for?
And, um, he was a fun one.
Oh my God.
I hope he lives forever.
I hope with my angle on it still, cause my special is coming out and I, and I
was able
to turn that into something like, I'm hoping I, I, the point that I'm making,
uh, is still
relevant.
Uh, like he said, uh, Wednesday, July 23rd, what's the, what's the website vice.com.
It'll be easy to find vice.com.
Check out Jim Norton's new show called the Jim Norton show.

Oh Jesus.
That's clever.
Thanks Bill.
All right.
Go fuck yourselves.
I'll see you on Monday.
