The first ten seconds of this video is so amazing. Norm does that shit where he doesn't finish a sentence. But he's so good at comedy which goes hand in hand with making sure people get what ur meaning that he knows he doesn't gotta say the last word or two. Amazing. I have dabbled with this all my life and never been one thousandth as hood at as Norm is. #GOAT
I heard the saying in passing and out of context a few times, and didn't quite get it. Norm put it into perspective here. Great mantra, especially for creative folk
Having that drive, and that fired up ambition, is an excellent indication you're in a good place. To read a very simple method that takes about an hour to alter your brain and lasts permanently, read Steffon Barkload's approach, and stop foor good.
Almost 3 years sober. I like the part where the norm related to being sober to working out. We should feel some sense of 'superiority' we worked hard and earned it!!
Norm, you and this fella are terrific. Speaking truth. And at the same time entertaining as all get out with the giant booming voice interrupting every few seconds.
Biggest realization I've ever had about drugs of any kind including caffeine or melatonin even.....they begin as a help to your normal but end up being needed to get to normal. I say this not criticizing or complimenting drugs/compounds......just observing.
Having worked as an advertising creative on alcohol brands for years in agencies with bars in the office, the biggest thing I realised is how much drinking has an effect on creativity over a prolonged period of time. While coming up with ideas with a writer while tipsy is fun, you spend half your days tired and irritable, when people ask you questions in creative reviews you're not anywhere near as sharp as you could be in defending them so good ideas are easily killed. Ironically it was only after I quit drinking that I started doing my best work on alcohol brands and was sharp enough to present well to clients and defend the integrity of the ideas so they didn't get interfered with.
I was a serious drinker up until my early forties and then the last group of friends that I drank with moved out of state and all of a sudden out of nowhere and through no effort at all on my part I wasn't drinking anymore,, that was 2001,, and I don't drink ,,,,,, it just ended.. Talk about lucky..
@@LeeDavyCoaching It was,, I didn't try or even think about it and still don't. Cigarettes,,,,,,,,,, that was TOUGH,, I finally stopped in 2019 but it was horrible...
always found it weird how he would dance around being a drinker. There are stories of him drinking from other celebrities, and he was known to abuse pills. I never thought less of him for doing these things, but he obviously had some regret
As somebody who has done LSD a bunch of times i would steer clear of it for alcoholism, if you wanted to try that approach though i would go with mushrooms instead, psilocybin to be exact. It has a much cleaner comedown without the serotonin depletion you can get from LSD being that you need all the serotonin you can get when detoxing your body.
@@ThunderDomeBoxingTalk MDMA effects the seretonin receptors and can potentially kill you. LSD works a bit different. There has never been any case of overdose despite an elephant who expired after a cosmic dosage.
Thanks for sharing. Was the interview planned in advance or just on the spot? Must have been a thrill, he’s a hilarious guy. (Just quietly, is it possible he may not be 100% sober at the table here...?)
It's all about moderation. Some people have the ability to casually drink. Most others are sucked into addiction. Some of our most creative moments have been under alcohol. But the side effects may not be worth it. But do you sacrifice to create great things?
Sean Calabro it could be the case, but i almost wonder if it’s incidental that drinking is sometimes involved with a creative moment. i find creative inspiration comes in moments where i can just let my mind wander, thinking about nothing in particular, staring outside at nature, in a sort of meditative state, and alcohol is never involved. but everyone’s different.
Gaining and losing weight multiple times will do that to a person. The skin stretches when you gain and if you're older it will not tighten once you've lost the weight.
Even if you can control yourself you’re doing significant damage to your body, with the most worrying part being your brain. You’re making yourself dumber each and every time you drink. Not that you will ever notice.
In retrospect, when you and Norm are descriibing the same thing, as: Norm: "(something that) takes away the credibility of the aforism they're spouting.." You: " a fundamental... thing you should know...", maybe you should refrain from heckling him...
No offense but if you’re gonna have a TH-cam channel you might want to invest in a lav mic and a light. Come on bro...Good message but step up the production a bit.
I’m not too sure who I find more annoying: potheads who advocate aggressively advocate the legalization of marijuana, or sober people who have to go around all the time chiming about it.

Thanks for taking the time to talk to Norm & share the conversation. Much appreciated.
Norm maintained his humanity at all times, he could sit with any man and give him the same respect, as if he was sitting with Johnny Carson.
Yeah, he was a lovely bloke.
I feel like I have a yak on my chest
i thought i had seen every norm clip on the internet,aside from him hosting golf tournaments, then this appeared!
He should of asked Norm: Where do you get your ideas from?
Why

Excellent location for an interview. Where are you? A hog auction?
Someone's got to feed them hogs...
ಠ_ಠ
This is a real hidden gem
Real stream of consciousness going on here
Yeah, it's called conversation
The guy who made this comment? He's a real jerk!
@@PierceTravelsyeah I think you missed the joke, bud. You should dive deeper into Norm folklore.
@@Fenriz1222 LOL my reply is exactly how norm replied to the stream of consciousness comment, bud

His stand up that I watched a few hours after this was incredible. He took our conversation, and turned it into his performance.
@@LeeDavyCoaching a true artist. Easily one of the greats of comedy. Thanks for replying. Cheers
Is there a video of this performance
@@capealio No, unfortunatly. Do you mind if I ask how you find your way here?
@@LeeDavyCoaching just looking up Norm Macdonald clips i spose
IT relaxes YOU 5:50
Watching this morning has made me put down the bottle. Thank you. Norm. Nassau, and this channel.
Daniel, if you want further help with that then reach ut at www.1000dayssober.com
Good on you! I’m 6+ months sober and loved watching it, too.
Is the bottle still down?
I don’t do drugs. I am drugs.

Nice to see a good convo with norm, he clearly enjoyed it too. Two handed shake.
What a guy. I'd love to buy him a drink.
5:53 Norm pauses as that arrow whistles past his head, fortunately missing
Funny comment. More of the same please.
the title doesn't need the first four words.. they're implied by the two after
This is at commerce casino a famous poker room.

You don't get credit for doing what you're supposed to do.
5 months sober huge Norm fan Rest In Peace now I know why I think he stopped drinking
Massive props, Don. How are you finding life, 5-months sober x
Norm is the drunkest sounding sober person
Norm’s a hero of mine, thanks for this video! ❤
Hey what a jewell, glad I found this video :)
1:34 “it’s like an old guy doing a story”
*Cough cough* thats you Norm *cough cough*
He literally conversated his act .......amazing........you could compare this and his act to see how he created art: observation to comedy
Unfortunately, the stand up show was private and never filmed
Thank God. I needed my Norm fix.
Norm Macdonald--making us smile.
@@LeeDavyCoaching Do you have a link to that one?
Lee Davy you saw him in the Bahamas? That’s awesome.
@@johann5924 I don't sorry, it wasn't filmed.
Norm Macdonald doesn't do drugs, Norm Macdonald is drugs.
Great video, thanks. Very genuine and insightful from both parties.
This is fantastic. But he is in a casino waiting to gamble...
This is awesome 👌
4:26. Where do you get your ideas?
Hearing that announcer drown out this conversation makes me want a drink!
It's a nightmare, but when Norm says he gonna sit down and talk about this stuff, you don't ask him to move somewhere quieter - you take the moment.
1000 Days Sober: The Truth About Alcohol very true
@@LeeDavyCoaching why dont you ask him?
You couldn't write the comedy of it though and the looks on his face.
Omg that would be so cool to have a conversation with Norm! Anyone know if he still gambles in cali or Vegas? And which casinos does he frequent?
Yea. He does. Think he’s going tonight
This would be a 3 minute interview if not for that announcer guy.
Norm, you and this fella are terrific. Speaking truth. And at the same time entertaining as all get out with the giant booming voice interrupting every few seconds.
Jerry Garcia said the same thing about snorkeling as Norm did pertaining to its very similar to tripping
Nice of Norm to give feature spots to the announcer.

I am glad you commented on this, Maurice because I hear the opposite view too many times. I share your views entirely. Thanks for commenting.
As Norm drinks he explains
I could listen to hours and hours of this
He actually took this short conversation and turned it into a one hour stand up later that night in the resort
This is awesome
Where does Norm get his ideas from?
Awesome video, I'd love to have a conversation with Norm one day
And youd be blessed if so
What topics would you like to indulge in?
I wanna talk to that guy who keeps interrupting them with that super deep voice!
😔
My ass he doesn’t drink booze. He was always drinking on the Tom Green show
This was two years before he died, he had probably stopped due to health issues
I watched Norm drink 6 shots with Tom Green. And every time he’s about to drink booze he says he doesn’t drink booze. He drinks, no doubt.
He says he doesn't smoke then lights up a cigarette.
Point is he doesn't drink or smoke often. But by God does he eat fistfuls of Xanax
He's also deeply closeted workaholic

Great interview, love normy
I don't drink. Don't like the taste. Don't like being dizzy. And Rillington Place is one of my favorite movies too. "Christie done it."
Norm had the right idea... keep the beer, give me the pot... RIP King

Norm mentions LSD quite a few times here. What are your thoughts on it? Especially regarding treatment of alcoholism.
As somebody who has done LSD a bunch of times i would steer clear of it for alcoholism, if you wanted to try that approach though i would go with mushrooms instead, psilocybin to be exact. It has a much cleaner comedown without the serotonin depletion you can get from LSD being that you need all the serotonin you can get when detoxing your body.
I don't have a view on it. I have a system that's very effective and doesn't involve the use of other drugs, so I have never given it much thought x

I wondered the same thing until I seen more videos of him. He’s normally like that.
Uncle Dust it’s one of his jokes
It was spontaneous, and the only thing that Norm seems to be addicted to is Red Bull. This is how he is sober.
where do you get your ideas from
The C H in The Montreal Canadians cap stands for club de hockey 🏒
The "e" and "b" that made up the M on the Expos cap stood for equipe de baseball.

How the fuck did you get Norm?
Who drinks alcohol when you can smoke weed or like Norm; take xanax.
Jesus christ could you have interviewed him somewhere with more noise???
Love and adore Norm... But he's finally starting to look old here. I guess we all are... I miss my Norm with the dancing eyes and evil grin...
Gaining and losing weight multiple times will do that to a person. The skin stretches when you gain and if you're older it will not tighten once you've lost the weight.
And cancer. Reminds me of that tragedy
I'm sure this has been said a thousand times before but holy s*** Norm is normal is that why they call in Norm
It hasn't been said a thousand times, he's not normal, his name is norm
I'm absolutely a better driver on LSD, and it's been proven by controlled trials of people in driving simulators.
woah i AM a better driver on lsd
But for people who can control themselves...dont lump us in.
Still a drug
That's the thing about alcohol; even people who can drink it in moderation still act like arseholes whilst under its influence.
@@shermansadventure1151idk about that alcohol tempers my arsehole personality and makes me into an empathetic fella.
Even if you can control yourself you’re doing significant damage to your body, with the most worrying part being your brain. You’re making yourself dumber each and every time you drink. Not that you will ever notice.
I hope normie knew he was being filmed here
I like Norm. But people pretend they're not on drugs all of the time. Especially heroin. Not sure what he's talking about.
In retrospect, when you and Norm are descriibing the same thing, as:
Norm: "(something that) takes away the credibility of the aforism they're spouting.."
You: " a fundamental... thing you should know...",
maybe you should refrain from heckling him...
what an awful place for an interview lol
You can't pick and choose where you'll bump into someone like Norm MacDonald. You take it where you can.
