Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
the joe rogan experience train by day joe rogan podcast by night all day speaking of cold in new york how about these fucking jewish folks what the tunnel they were making under well i'm reading about that i don't even know what it means why would they hire people to dig a hole
I don't know exactly what's happening. All I know is very short clips that I found on the Internet. But the funniest thing is this one guy on Twitter that was saying a while back, I live on a ground floor apartment and I hear Jews underneath me. It's like you're out of your fucking mind. Yeah, that's anti-Semitic. Exactly. And now he's like, I told you I wasn't crazy.
But what are they doing? Like, I heard that they hired people to build like this tunnel and they were hanging out and like the people would live there for like three weeks. These migrant workers were just digging this tunnel and they stayed there for three weeks. But what's the purpose of it?
I have no idea. I have no idea. I don't know anything. I just know that there's tunnels and that there's this one video of this guy coming out of the sewer. So he lifts a manhole cover, comes out of the sewer, and then he's fucking wandering around, this Hasidic Jewish guy.
And everybody's like, what the fuck are you doing down there? Yeah, that's really bizarre. They wouldn't come out, too. The cops had to get them out. Like, they were like, we don't want to come out. And they were, like, charged with disorderly conduct. I don't know. The whole fucking world is just weird. What do you know about this, Jamie? Anything?
I haven't heard anything. The best I've gotten is that they started making them during COVID. It makes sense, but you see the tunnels and you're like, no way. They didn't do that in two years or a year or six months or whatever it was.
They weren't exactly nice tunnels either. They were just kind of shitty, rudimentary, basic holes. Were they doomsdayers? They thought the world was going to end?
Wait a minute. The tunnels are so big that you don't think they could make them in two years? Is that what you're saying?
Some of them look big. Really? I mean, some of them are saying they go into multiple different buildings. It's like a series of tunnels. It's not just a tunnel.

Chapter 2: What are the implications of the tunnel story?
I forget even how they discovered it. I think they were looking...
It's probably that guy complaining. He probably heard something, and then maybe they saw somebody come out of the manhole cover, and somebody put two and two together.
I have no idea what happened.
Yeah, it's strange.
But it's very bizarre. And then, of course, there's conspiracy theories, and what are they doing down there, and evil theories.
They immediately want to pour concrete in it, which makes sense, because it's probably not safe. It's not supporting the weight of all the buildings above it.
Yeah, you don't think of that when you move into an apartment building that some asshole might build a tunnel underneath and collapse the fucking, collapse the building on you.
Imagine if you're on the ground floor and you're like, why is my floor so much... Yeah.
These assholes are building a sinkhole under my house. Yeah, I don't, but it's funny how, like, things are so crazy. Like, you read about something like that, and it doesn't even stand out that much. Like, we talk about it now, and then tomorrow it'll be some other weird shit. Right. Like, every day it's something weird. It's something crazy.

Chapter 3: How do comedians address sensitive topics?
I know it's fake. But if the attitude was right, I could still see myself being turned on by this AI. The hair fucks it up a little bit because it kind of looks solid. Like the hair sometimes moves as one unit. But the body and the face, I mean, it really looks like a real person.
Well, they're making money. They're making money off of OnlyFans. Tens of thousand dollars a week. Isn't that awesome? Amazing. Isn't that great? Well, there's probably some fucking dude in Moldovia or somewhere like that running it.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's always some guy overseas where you can't get it shut down. You can't get any answers.
Yeah, and then there's some fucking jerk-off.
In New York City, not the east side.
With his fucking tomato-stained wife beater on, sending money and whacking off, and then interacting with these people. See, if you're not tech-savvy and you don't understand... that this is probably a man on the other end, or not even a man, maybe a computer that's running an algorithm, and you think you're actually interacting with a woman, you can get completely hooked.
I've argued with bots before, and that's my big insult, is like, you're a fucking bot. And that's all you can say when you know that you've been duped by a computer. Whether it's customer service, and you think you're talking to a real person, this is a fucking computer. This is a real person, but...
That's a real person? Yeah, she made $57 million since COVID. Oh, my God. Whoa.
Like, how would you, like, if you married that girl, how would you tell her to get a regular job?

Chapter 4: What insights do they share about the current comedy landscape?
Yeah, yeah. They came and hooked up ISDN lines and all the things they do to make audio better. And we had a guy in Montreal who did it. And I did it from the kitchen in this apartment I rented for us in Canada.
Wow. So you just had a dedicated ISDN line. Yeah. So they couldn't go down.
No. And once in a while it would get like... But even if I was in New York, we still would have been doing it remotely. Like they wouldn't let us in the building. Nobody was broadcasting from Sirius. But it was like... It was so bizarre to never have lived with anybody. And now I'm in Canada...
With my fiance and we're together every day and they were fucking worse in Canada than the US like they were way stricter curfews at eight o'clock, everything closed. So it was just kind of we're stuck in the house together. And are we going to make it or are we not a good couple? So that kind of told me we were okay.
Fucking weird time. I think it's so traumatic to us that we're sort of like pretending it didn't happen now. I see a lot of people do that. They almost don't address that just two years ago the world went insane.
Yeah, the whole thing felt like a dream state in a weird way. I look back at stuff, and you know what's really funny? I did Chip. I stopped doing Chip for a while. I just got bored with it. Chip Chipperson, your character. I know. I really shouldn't say that. Like the public at large knows who this asshole character is. I'm saying Chip, like he's a member of the Zeitgeist. I stopped doing it.
And then they asked me if I would do this TBS thing, this laugh thing. And I won't. I hate competitions. I said, no. I'm like, but Chip will do it. So they let me do it as Chip Chipperson. And my fucking Chip will do it. And I put my foot down like Chip will do it. And surprisingly, they went for it. And the amount of great comedians that Chip beat in the voting is really funny.
Like every week they had you had to vote, go head to head with with a couple of people. And Chip beat some really funny guys. I think Chip Tim Dillon has Chip. I mean, Chip is not funnier than Tim Dillon, but just Chip fans were really invested in just making this a fucking disaster. That's hilarious. But she filmed all of it. She filmed everything.
And I came back and I did Chip for a while and then I stopped. And all these people are convinced that my wife made me stop doing Chip. They're like, fuck her. She made him stop doing Chip. How bizarre do you think my life is? I marry somebody who's going to tell me don't do Chip and I'm going to listen. I just got bored with it. You know how it is with podcasting.

Chapter 5: What bizarre incident involving a former guest is discussed?
Like it was really bizarre that he chose those 10 paces things. Yes. Like it was so nuts. And then he started wanting to come back in studio and fight us. He's like, you'll just be me against the three hosts fighting all these crazy messages. Oh, my God. But I can't believe that was the guy. I never knew that. That's the guy. Yeah.
So that like when that type of shit happens, it's like it does change you a little bit. You're like, wow, that guy was right. That guy literally wanted to murder me. It wasn't me being crazy or paranoid. And most people, from what I heard, he had cancer. Like they said he had like incurable stage four cancer. And then he wound up doing that. And then he just blew his brains out, shot himself.
Chapter 6: How does Jim Norton reflect on his instincts regarding dangerous situations?
Oh, wow. Yeah. So they never got him. He did it himself.
He killed himself. Yeah, I think the cops were coming to get him and he killed himself. So, yeah, that could have been a lot worse. Boy. And I look back on that and I also feel good about myself like, hey, you read this guy right. Like, I read what type of person he was. Like, you know, you get pretty good instincts. Like, if somebody's heckling you, you understand. Is this guy having fun?
Or is this guy trying to be a piece of shit because he resents me? You learn pretty quickly to read motives. And I just, it was just, maybe it's just an animal gut instinct. But I'm like, this guy's a fucking problem. Um, so yeah, I got very lucky with that, that we, we never, uh, it never got to that.
I wonder how much you having him humiliated ramped up all of his anger and led to him murdering people.
You know, I don't know because it was years later and it was also ā he had this thing with women. Like I originally ā we were going to interview him because he was suing Columbia because of their guys' studies or women's studies. Sorry. And so I was like, look, I don't like anything that's progressive and exclusive by nature. Like, you know what I mean?
Like, hey, how come they're not doing guys' studies? So I'm like, let's see what ā But then it became apparent he just sues women. So then we started to make fun of him. Because it's like, it wasn't the principle of Columbia doing this. It was like, you just have a fucking hard-on and want to sue women. So then we kind of made fun of him.
And it got ugly, and I was just being a dick like I was on the air. Yeah. Um, and that's what really, but I don't think that I think he had so many of these problems and it was much more about women than anything I said to him. Like my humiliation of him was years earlier, but I do think I humiliated him and he really wanted to cause my attorney at the time, uh, his name is Tom Ferber.
He was a great lawyer and he, they, my law firm hated him so much. They retroactively knocked down what they were charging me.

Chapter 7: What changes have occurred in the New York City radio scene?
They go, this guy's such a bad guy that we're gonna charge you less and we're gonna make it retroactive. They were so offended by what he was doing as an attorney. So I got lucky with really good people and they really took good care of me.
You also got lucky that you caught him before the cancer.
Yes, 100%. 100% because, again, do I think he would have hunted me down and killed me? No, I think the judge for him was a bigger one. But, I mean, I'm sure it would have felt good for him if he could have.
Especially if he was on a run. So let me stop by the radio station.
Yeah. And oddly enough, it happened in the town I grew up in, which was, again, a pure coincidence, but it happened in North Brunswick. Wow. He went to kill her and just, unfortunately, her son answered the door.
Oh, boy.
Yeah. Yeah. You get like I've gotten so many threats over the years, like and like legit, you know, radio podcasting. You don't see who it's not like live stand up. Like there's a lot of people that you don't see. And I used to answer them. I have I have hundreds of fucking hate mail messages. And I used to go back and forth with people. And I eventually stopped.
Because then people, like I had a couple people talking about you better watch your back or talk about getting shot. And they were using their real names. I'm like, all right, if this guy's using his real name, he's a fucking, there's something wrong with him. Right. And I don't know what he looks like and he knows what I look like. Yeah.
But I eventually stopped reading it or responding to it because.

Chapter 8: How does Jim Norton approach his health and fitness journey?
Aggressive and attacking people. And the weaponization of the pests.
Yeah.
Yeah. And they, they kind of did it on their own and we enjoyed it. Um, because they were really funny. Like they would do some really funny shit. Like we would do jock Tobers, um, and, and just a torture.
We should tell everybody what the pet, the pest of the audience.
Oh, they were just these ONA fans.
They were really connected, very committed fans.
Yeah, and Pest was just this dumb affection because they were just pests. They would just annoy people. And we would take over and just fuck with another radio show. It would only happen for a day, though. You'd be in and out for a day. They'd put all these horrible things on their Facebook page. The Facebook page would shut down. And then the next day it would be another show.
Well, Jocktober was just making fun of corny radio guys.
Yeah. And I actually, it's funny, I had to go on because, you know, I had the advantage of doing radio, but also of going on the road. And I had been on shows and they're like, you know, you jocktobered us. So I had to go and face some of these fucking people. And it's embarrassing. It's embarrassing. It's like being overheard talking shit. What did you say to them when you were in the studio?
