Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dylan show here with Ben Avery our producer from a temporary studio and undisclosed location in Los Angeles, California.

RIP norm out the gate the worst story of the year, hopefully in comedy.

Um, you know, uh, norm McDonald passed away, one of the greatest comedians it's ever lived, uh, respected by everybody in comedy no matter what kind of type of comedian you were or what you believed politically everybody loved norm McDonald, you were obsessed huge fan would norm.

Yeah.

So when norm, you know, retweeted us, I remember that was like a massive day. Right. I don't remember what video it was, but it was the OJ one. Yeah, I mean, he was just a fucking that retweet was like everything when that happened.

And then he said some kind things about some of the stuff we did on Twitter and, uh, that was awesome. And, you know, some of the videos we put out and some of the clips of the podcast he had said.

Uh, good stuff about and that just makes your life as a comic, right? To have someone like that appreciate what you, especially because my story with norm is not it doesn't start out great because I did last comic standing in 2000 and whatever never aired.

Uh, and I did my joke and I did well and it was him. It was Damon Damon Wands and Roseanne. Yeah.

And Roseanne like me, Damon Wands, like, he was like not, he was just like, yeah, he's just like smiled and left. I think he said right on. I don't know what he was just like barely there. Like he wasn't.

I don't remember anything either way. And then norm was like, how many years have you been doing comedy? I'm like, four. He's like, what? It takes 10 years of me at comedian. What are you doing here? I was like, uh,

and I remember that was the biggest gut punch I got in stand up. And I remember being at the Hilton by where they shoot all those shows by where is that universal city? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I was in the Hilton and I was just like, like, I couldn't even eat. I was like, this is horrible. And I spoke to that one of the comics I was staying with at, at, um, that point.

And he was like, last comic standing. He's like, you go in there and they pay legends to tell you not to do what you love, which is kind of what. But I got over it. I kept doing it. Then he became a fan of us later on in a lot of shit we were doing. And he was right. You know, I was a four year, five year comic. Then it's like, you do need more time to mature.

Um, he did some hilarious shit. This clip is so funny. Yeah, I was wondering if we could play this from the view. Yeah, I mean, there's just by the way you can go on a binge of norm McDonald's stuff because all of it is funny.

You will lose hours of your day every rant, every choke, you go back to SNL. When he's doing pert, Randall, I mean, just there's nothing that's not amazing, but play this from the view. We don't want any more murderers. I think we should just go on to the next question.

Yeah, you know, you know, you know, I'm not that long, but I know that you're not. That's a little too far. That's just that's just the one to the next. Yeah, this is not my week. What can I tell you? Oh, it's not my neither. I'm being very nice.

Okay.

Yeah, good boy. Now, Norm, do you want to get out of this and I don't want to hear it and this is not the place to make those accusations and you're supposed to be funny.

Let's go.

There you go. This is a live show. But you have been properly chastised by barbershop. I'm not going to ask the next.

I thought it was a matter of record. Let me do this. I'll tell you what the matter of record you will not be invited back if you don't shut up.

All right.
