these guys are great with Norm, and you can tell that Norm is legitimately enjoying this. Really, they are great interviewers for him. They're engaging, articulate, respectful, open-minded, non-judgemental, personable, funny, intelligent without pretention, and non-idealistic. Absolutely enjoyable interview.

"I don't like structure" That sums up Norm. His UA-cam Video podcasts were the funniest things ever done, him, just being himself, let loose, but then when he went to Netflix, structure held him down, even though they were good, they weren't as loose and as funny as his youtube podcasts were.
The only man I never knew that I cried when he died. Rest of utmost power and love Mr Norm. What upsets me most about his death is most people are too dumb to understand him. I do my best to keep up with his brilliance and grace.
@@r.edward5701 I have had his book for a couple years sitting. Not ready to read it yet. The world lost a most brave powerful gentle brilliant soul who was sounding the horn on live TV when no one else would even in backrooms
one of the more honest interviews norm has given. i dont think he was giving the fake setup answers here like he does in some of his standup and interviews
if you suspend your believe he is gone, i think is what you are trying to say. cos if you disbelieve he is gone, that is what you want to believe, suspending your disbelief is wanting to this he is actually dead.
Norm notice the same thing I did which was how great those 2 guys did at interviewing Norm and not stepping all over each other and talking over each other,, that was really enjoyable !!
I wonder if 2014 was around his re-diagnosis-his eagerness to do more questions feels like he wants to get his (serious) thoughts on record, while he’s in spiritual novelist mode.
I love Norm Macdonald. I don't agree with him on some things (mind you I think he's smarter than me) but I love how he thinks and I think he's a lot more thoughtful than most other people
I'm from a small town in Canada. His old fashioned mindset was the culture of his time, unfortunately, but I agree that he's very thoughful and open-minded. Curiosity is a great thing. He pushed some buttons but he also asked some good questions and pointed out some hypocrisies (and always in a lighthearted way).
@@jerrysizzler44I think I’ve met your sister Jerry! 😅 Yea, love Norm a ton, always irked by some of his takes (one eludes me, like sexist comments around 1989 when several nurses were killed in Quebec?)…but easy to tolerate the more I “know” him.
You read leo tolstoy for two hours each morning, interesting, thanks norm for introducing me to him. "The kingdom of God is within you", huh, sounds about right.
Yes, cool to learn Norm is close to the gnostic side of Christianity (direct personal access to the divine) and Christ as a direct spiritual teacher (as with Tolstoy’s gospel-I believe Jefferson did the same) outside Church hierarchy.
I kept listening to this, and thinking why doesn't it sound like Conan? Do they change his voice for the TV shows? Then I saw someone in the comments say it was two other guys interviewing him. And yes why is it censored when it's not on Radio or TV?
Oh my God !.... I wish the two guys asking questions would realize that they need to turn their microphones Way Down, and they need to turn Norm's microphone Way Up!!!
Excellent thanks for sharing. //About Waylon, I LOVE when my favorites (Norm as a joker) love my favorites (like Waylon). // Also love hearing Norm explain he is a non-religious theist, studying Tolstoy to develop his belated spiritual life. Beautiful he got a few years to do so 💗.

Did you? Theyr’re professional showbiz interviewers. For all the fake ”Thats awesome!” which theyve been trained to say, these guys were very human and conversational. Most people who interviewed norm for podcasts were hack comedians and dull, just as fucked up as most people are and not good at driving interviews forward or making the guest feel comfortable
That's interesting what Norm said about Elon Musk--and that Lori Jo is friends with him. Wonder if Musk and Norm ever met? What a conversation that would be.
Of course there isn’t a way to prove any of the spiritual ramblings here, but that’s why faith is the evidence of things not seen. Norm says he doesn’t know anything about the nature of God, but I have faith that some of the concepts that are coded within the Bible tell us a little about it. lol, haven’t heard this in a while. Thanks mr the dog!
The universe is actually 14 billion years old. The reason life seems to wants to propogate itself is that life which didn't, didn't, and therefore their genes were not propogated.
This sounds clever, but the logic you're offering amounts to: life propagates because life propagates. By some definitions, life which doesn't try to propagate isn't life. Nonetheless, it does little to address the philosophical motivations behind the question "why is there life?" From our rational understanding of the nature of the universe there seems to be little to no reason that life should exist, other than the fact that it does. The universe and the rules which govern it work equally well without it, although there might not be anyone there to ponder that fact.

@@SineN0mine3 With regards to your 1st sentence. It is this way because genes are memetic, within any self replicating system with a selection process, these are the rules of the game.
If I know my Norm-think: White people are called "white" in the U.S., not European or Scandinavian Americans. So it sorta sounds condescending (in a pc way) when white people call black people "African Americans". I hope that's what he meant because I agree.
Norm looks in the picture like he's gonna go feed 'em hogs.
He does lol
Somebody gotta feed those hogs
Who's gonna feed them hogs now? :(
More like, "Who's gonna eat them bowls of Count Chocula?!"
Thats what I was thinkin when he kept taking more questions-what about them damn hogs!
“People don’t want to say ‘I don’t know’ when that’s the answer to 99% of profound questions”. - well said.
I don't know

Well put
Wow. "I'm Just an Old Chunk of Coal" is a Billie Joe Shaver song. I guess that's where Norm picked up the phrase? Fascinating.
He’s given BJS very high praise as a writer in other interviews
Definitely. I learned about Billie Joe Shaver from Norm’s interviews. He’s fantastic! What a gift.
One of the best interviews with Norm that I've heard. You can really tell how much he enjoyed talking to these guys. Just a great conversation.
Drink a shot every time you hear "that's awesome!"
After reading this comment I started taking a drink each time they said that's awesome. I had to stop because I was starting to pass out 😅
The only man I never knew that I cried when he died. Rest of utmost power and love Mr Norm. What upsets me most about his death is most people are too dumb to understand him. I do my best to keep up with his brilliance and grace.

Check out his Larry king interviews.
I have to “suspend my disbelief” that he’s really gone.

No. You’re actually wrong and also I was quoting Norm.
"I exist"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I exist"
"Wait a minute..... you're not the devil are ya?"
Existential norm.
💯 its like Pascal’s Wager or something-Norm’s Dilemma 😅
This is an amazing interview.
Absolutely!
This is amongst my first choices for best of Norm interviews. Kudos to these guys fir their professionalism.
One of the best interviews I've ever seen. The legend of Norm will live on. His mind was special.
Norm notice the same thing I did which was how great those 2 guys did at interviewing Norm and not stepping all over each other and talking over each other,, that was really enjoyable !!
God, I miss Norm.
This is the best Norm interview and i think ive seen quite a few to believe it is the best.
I've been watching videos of norm nonstop since his death and each video makes me sadder since ill run out of videos to watch eventually.
Speaking from experience then you just start all over again.😏
I’m still searching and watching them daily….still I find some gems , like this one here, that I somehow missed.
Good to see a mallu Normaholic 💕
Same, been devouring Norm content like it's my fellow passengers and we just chased into the Andes.
I would love to sit down and hang out with Norm like this! He seems genuinely nice. Great interview!
I wonder if 2014 was around his re-diagnosis-his eagerness to do more questions feels like he wants to get his (serious) thoughts on record, while he’s in spiritual novelist mode.
This is an awesome interview. Conversation gets really deep and at times also silly and very funny.
Happy birthday Norm and thanks for the upload
This was great. Thank you. Norm has the greatest answers. He's either very funny or very deep....or surprising.
5:40 I wish I has a hundred thousand hours of Norm
Such an amazing conversation this - so good to hear Norm serious

Awesome podcast. Loved it absolutely did

Good stuff!
fantastic.
very nice interview, with some actual content, not like these modern talk shows...
Real stream of consciousness right here

it did
Yea. Definitely did not.

@@jakass Norm got excited by Elon cause he likes the idea of adult toys, like a big racecar
25 mins.. that's what's so great about pressure washing.
Norm is always on
where's Conan in this interview?
Looking for bars in former primary schools.
He's hiding. Hiding behind all that hideous click baiting.
25:10 As a business man that has been called onto the carpet and as the business man that has called others onto the carpet, damn this hits hard.
I miss Norm, god rest his soul
I love Conan needs a friend, but it’s truly ridiculous how many podcasts Conan had with his name in it that doesn’t have him in them
Whoa, that's crazy!
Easy way to find more podcasts conducted by these fellas?
I wish they asked him why his dad had to pull out the “nobody is stupid because someone will always know something you don’t know”
Happy, is that you?

Oh my God !.... I wish the two guys asking questions would realize that they need to turn their microphones Way Down, and they need to turn Norm's microphone Way Up!!!
It's usually the sound engineer's fault
The one thing I would want to here from God if he exists.
