What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Well, that was an L.A. version, so we kept it a little queefy for you. I know you're old. Thank you.
Queefy? I'm going to look that up.
I get that all the time. People say, kill yourself. You're no Norm. You're like Norm Light.
What insights does Mark Normand share about being compared to Norm Macdonald?
You're Norm, but bad and gay.
Did you kill yourself or did you take any of that advice?
Nah, not yet. Later. But they're just going around the moon. They're not letting them on the moon, which I thought was messed up, but it might hurt the property value. And then I said, of course, they make the black guy do a drive-by. And I say, let him on the moon.
What are Mark Normand's thoughts on the moon and space travel?
I want to see that guy jump. Can you imagine that moon jump? And then I call it moon team. So we had some good times.
Dana, Mark Norman, who's a very funny comic. Not on every single person's radar yet, but that's what we like to do. Get someone like we did with Shane, get him a little early.
Pre-stadium.
Yeah, pre-stadiums. He's always consistently funny when I see him do quick sets or on Instagram or just talking to the dude. He's got a great sort of Norm Macdonald-y vibe.
Well, they talk about his love of Norm.
yeah his love of stand-up uh and also he does a podcast called we might be drunk with samorelle is another great comic so two of them are out there killing it and he was a lot of fun and just a lot of jokes a lot of laughing and we really kind of dug deep with him too
yeah you talk about the uh because he really writes a lot of jokes per minute and a lot of punch lines per minute and the pressure to keep coming up with material yeah little shorties yeah we probably got three jokes every minute you're right and it's just hard to fill an hour on stand up and then i think we talked about doing a special and how
How much of that can you still use?
All the normal inside baseball or what it's like to be a touring stand-up comic. It was a pleasure to hang out with him. Ladies and gentlemen, enjoy... Mark Norman.
Mark Norman. mark norman mark norman is our guest we start right away mark all right let's do it we're halfway through all right so this isn't a we might be drunk marathon we're there for an hour five great how long are your how long are your podcasts on we might be drunk well we drink a lot so they can go from an hour to two and a half it gets pretty sloppy do you really drink when i was there did you drink
Well, that was an L.A. version, so we kept it a little queefy for you. I know you're old and delicate.
Thank you. Queefy? I'm going to look that up. Wait, I know I'm old and what?
Delicate.
I didn't want to hurt you. Yeah, yeah, you don't want to hurt me. Mark Norman, I was telling you such a riveting story. Like, if you do a podcast, We Might Be Drunk, which I've done and I actually like, I didn't know because I'm frail and brittle. uh that you were delicately leading me through a 22-minute podcast for my own safety but uh i don't drink in the day anyway that's from i barely drink at night why not because i'm a fucking puss dude i used to be able to but god dang it is bad it leads to horrible things you tend up skipping the night and just drinking and going to bars so day drinking is is evil don't do it yeah do you when you drink do you i don't mean to cut i won't cut you i'll cut you off 30 more times i know zoom is tough i appreciate that you had offered to come in when you were in town it was very nice and then i was trying to find you i was in new york the other night and i saw on my stupid instagram it's like mark norman is doing his hijinks at gut busters i'm like why am i seeing this and then i go oh he's in new york
And then it scrolls down. He's also doing flim flams. He's also doing beep bops. And I go, oh, he's not going to have time to do anything. You're like the New York guy going boom, boom, boom, right? Oh, yeah.
Well, yeah, I got it. I run around like a psycho because my jokes are short. So I got to I got to write a lot just to fill an hour. It takes forever. So I got to keep keep getting up and tweaking.
I did notice that. Very good joke writer, very funny. I've always sort of watched from a distance.
