Norm Macdonald did not bomb this segment. He refused it. Gordon Ramsay is trying to cook red mullet in a bag on Late Night. Conan is trying to host. Norm is doing neither. He treats the recipe like a rumor and lets Ramsay swear into the gap. That is...

This is classic Norm. Norm graduated high school 2 years early and started college at 16 to study math and philosophy. Norm was always the smartest person in the room and he pretended to be the dumbest person in the room. Always committed the bit.

The joke isn’t that Norm can’t cook. It’s that two professionals keep trying to drag him into a format he has already decided doesn’t apply to him.

This man has a car rental business. This guy he is talking to is 6 days late on his payment. The renter is threatening the owner to sue HIM when he is the one who is late with no communication until today. Then the customer he gets racial and threatens him. This is not how you call and tell the owner you are behind on a payment. The pacing around- I get it. Ready to blow a gasket but trying to remain business like and under control. Would you ever call your landlord or the business you are leasing a car from and talk to them like this when YOU are the one who is late on the payment? How do you think the owner handled it?

Regarding Neil Ferguson “And so my conclusion from that is not that he was stupid or that he was doing bad science. He wasn't doing bad science. He was doing exactly what he needed to do and he was paid to do it and he did it knowingly and intentionally. So I think it's a mistake to go too deep into showing how these papers are scientifically wrong and he didn't consider this and he didn't consider that and the model is this and the model is that. From the beginning, the entire thing is just a piece of propaganda. So his job is to be a propagandist. And so anything that he puts out cannot be analyzed or considered as a scientific production. It is not a production of anything that has to do with science. It is a production of propaganda and public relations.” Debbie Lerman Episode 445 NEVER FORGET WHAT THEY DID TO US

AI is not trying to teach you. It is not trying to tell you the truth. It is trying to trick you. ChatGPT takes everything on the internet. Finds the most popular answer. And presents it in a way that makes you think it is talking directly to you. It is a magic trick. The same magic trick that worked in 1966 when MIT created a chatbot that said two things: "Tell me more." "This is interesting." And people genuinely believed they were talking to a human. Nothing has changed. The technology is bigger. The trick is the same. AI does not know what it is saying. It cannot judge what it is saying. It is just trying to keep you engaged. That is all it has ever been.

Netanyahu: Eisenkot cannot form a government, and he knows it. He is trying to hide that. He cannot form a government without the Arab parties, and they reject the very existence of the State of Israel. It is ridiculous and shameful to try to give legitimacy to something that is not legitimate. Maybe it is legal, but it is not legitimate.

Lolita is a story about a man who walked into a house that was already a little lonely, and a girl who had no say in who got a key. Charlotte wants to be chosen. That part is human. She is a widow, she is proud, she is hungry for a life that is not only bills and a daughter who is growing away from her. Humbert sees that hunger and uses it. He does not fall into the family. He studies it. The mother is the door. The child is the room. Dolores is not the author of what happens to her. That is the whole point, and it is the part adaptations keep almost dropping. She is a kid in a small world …camps, cars, motels, a mother who wants a wedding more than she wants to look again at the man she let in. When Charlotte is gone, there is no adult left whose job is her. There is only him, and the road, and the lie that this is a romance because he is the one talking. Why did the adult who was meant to protect the child,preyed on her? He was supposed to be a wall not an opening. In the book,the girl was only 12yrs old.

I would simply go into hiding forever if a network boss told me that. Norm Macdonald: He said he didn't want me to do update. Why? Because uh um he doesn't think I was funny. Howard Stern: He said that to your face? Norm Macdonald: Yeah, on the phone. He did this. He said to me that that update is like dragging down the show.

David Letterman and Norm Macdonald trading jokes is just a different level of comedy. Norm had this ability to make Letterman look like a regular person just trying to keep up with the nonsense. Norm: If you can't handle me when I'm covered in the blood of a boar I've just sacrificed to the gods, then you do not deserve me during the bountiful harvest that will result. Letterman: Those things don't work out. I'm not coming back. Norm: [Laughs] It is wild seeing these two together and just letting the silence sit there for a second.

Appearing on Adam Carolla's show, Norm Macdonald explained why Michael Richards was not actually a racist after his infamous comedy club outburst. Norm Macdonald: He is not a racist and when you say something like that crazy it can only be a joke you know, I mean he was out of his head element, he didn't know what to do, but there is no way that a guy who is racist screams it at the top of his lungs. Adam Carolla: Well certainly, I do not think he was anticipating the fact that a cell phone could have been putting this on to CNN as he was saying. Norm Macdonald: I think he was right, he wouldn't do it on the Craig Ferguson show. The weird dynamic of old school comedians trying to logic their way through major public scandals on air is always wild to look back on. Have you ever seen an old school celebrity try to defend a friend's career meltdown on a live broadcast?

A pilot put a passenger jet down on a river and got every person on board off alive. Within days, investigators were asking him what he had eaten for lunch. He told them a tuna sandwich. Then they asked whether he had had a candy bar. Whether he had had a soda. That is not small talk. There is a precise reason those 2 questions could have ended his career, and Tom Hanks lays it out in about 4 sentences. The pilot is Chesley Sullenberger. Hanks played him, spent time with him first, and says the man walked him through the entire script telling him which parts never happened. As Hanks was told it, the stake was money. If the board could establish that the pilot did 1 thing wrong, the insurance on an airplane he puts at 17 million dollars would not have to be paid out. Every question in that room was built for that. It went on for the better part of a year. In the film it takes days, because films cannot afford a year. What was happening to him has a name in psychology. Baruch Fischhoff described it in 1975 and called it creeping determinism. Once you know how something ended, the ending looks like it was always coming, and every road you did not take looks like it was sitting right there, clearly marked, the whole time. Which is why the question "why did you not do this instead" is close to unanswerable. It is asked by people who know the ending, to a person who did not have it. There is a second effect underneath, well documented in aviation and in medicine. The person at the centre of the investigation frequently comes out of it in worse condition than the people he saved. Researchers gave that person a name. He is the second victim. Hanks is 67 when he says this, and what he admires is not the landing. It is a distinction he makes in 1 sentence near the end, and it is the whole reason he told the story at all. He saved everyone on that plane. Then he spent a year proving he had not eaten a candy bar.

Portsmouth tonight. Danny Tommo standing in front of the police, telling them their grandfathers didn’t storm beaches in 1944 so their grandsons could earn two grand a month waving people through. That is not a policy proposal, that is a man looking officers in the eye and saying the wage is not worth the betrayal. You can call it crude but, what he says is true. The clip is the country talking to the people paid to protect it. Is this the fringe, or is this what happens when the official line is, we’ll smash the gangs, and the boats keep coming?

A very harsh threat, made by Netanyahu toward Iran. What is behind the heightened tone? It is not only harsh, it is also unusual. The event that took place in recent months was a paralyzing fear of what is called miscalculation. They will think that we will attack first, even though that was not the intention, and then they will attack, and the entire region will be dragged into another round of confrontation. In a region where there is fear of miscalculation, you are not supposed to announce this kind of thing in the Knesset. I just want to make that clear. Yesterday, Naftali Bennett promoted his press conference on the conditions of soldiers, okay? He gets six million views because the timing looks like a countdown and he is a former prime minister, so the Iranians are in hysterics that he is actually announcing that they are going to attack. That’s the atmosphere. So when Netanyahu attacks like this and makes an unprecedented threat—not only harsh but also unusual—one can’t help but think that for Netanyahu there is a message, or something more problematic than miscalculation. And he wants to warn the Iranians. Now, what’s the issue? The issue is that if the Iranians come to the conclusion that their regime is on the verge of collapse, there is one thing that might save them. And that is an attack on Israel. Because we saw during the war what is called “rally around the flag.” Even those who were in the opposition rallied around the flag when their country was attacked. It is not only the Islamic Republic that is under attack, but also the Islamic Republic of Iran. That is essentially the issue, and that is what Netanyahu, in my opinion, is trying to stop with the threat he issued after the security discussion.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa now needs to rest. If he had people who genuinely cared about him, they would not let him carry on like this. It is no longer just an embarrassment to him, but to Zimbabwe as a nation. He is clearly unwell due to old age. To imagine that some people wanted him to carry on until 2030, when he is like this five years before then, is clearly cruel and opportunistic. I have always said here that the president is 86 years old, not 82. He was born in 1938—it is clearly self-evident. He did not know that the national team plays home games in other countries. He did not know that there is no longer a passenger train service between Harare and Bulawayo. It is sad to watch.

The CEO of OpenAI was asked for his hottest take. His answer wasn't a prediction about a product. It was that the whole world is sleeping through the most important thing happening to it. A student asked Altman for his spiciest take. He paused. He admitted he could probably find a spicier one with more time. Then he landed somewhere quiet. AI is just going to keep going. That sounds obvious until you hear how he framed it. He said this is not widely believed yet. And if it were actually believed, there would be far more reverberations through society right now than there are. That is the whole point. He is not saying people doubt AI is useful. He is saying people have not internalized what continuing on this curve actually means. They nod along and then go back to their day. Then he gave the timeframe. It has been three and a half years since ChatGPT. He said if you run another three and a half years on the same trajectory, what society is capable of is completely different. Not improved. Different. The scariest takes are usually loud. This one was Altman calmly saying the biggest change in human history is already underway, and almost nobody is acting like it.

He Played “Walk of Life” as If the Song Already Knew the Way The odd thing about watching Mark Knopfler in 1996 is not how much he does. It is how little he needs to do. He does not patrol the stage to remind anyone who is holding the guitar. He does not dress the solo up as a contest. He stands inside the song and lets it keep its own pace, which is rarer than virtuosity and harder to fake. That is the real subject of the clip. We have been trained to treat difficulty as the proof of value: more notes, more motion, more visible strain. Knopfler works in the opposite direction. The lines are clean. The spaces around them are part of the playing. He leaves room for the band, for the bounce of the rhythm, for the audience to enter without being instructed. Confidence, here, looks like refusal to crowd the frame. “Walk of Life” helps him. It was never built as a monument. It wants movement. The riff has that easy forward lean, the feeling that the body recognizes the walk before the mind names the song. Under the cheer there is nothing ornate. People get on with it. They keep walking. They keep playing. The joy is ordinary on purpose, which is why it still lands when so many “uplifting” anthems now sound like they are selling you a mood. Watching it now changes the temperature of the performance. In the mid-90s a live groove did not have to win a two-second fight against the next clip. A band could settle and stay. The music had duration. That duration is what makes Knopfler’s restraint visible. If you only glance, it can look like he is doing less. If you stay, you notice he is doing the one thing that spectacle often ruins: he is keeping the song intact. So the pull of this old tape is not nostalgia for a haircut or a stage set. It is the relief of watching a musician who knows when to play, when to step back, and when to let the tune carry the room. He is not trying to make “Walk of Life” look impressive. He is playing it as if walking were enough. Which 1990s live performance still feels like that to you — not louder than the song, just sure of it?

If you stay, you notice he is doing the one thing that spectacle often ruins: he is keeping the song intact. So the pull of this old tape is not nostalgia for a haircut or a stage set. It is the relief of watching a musician who knows when to play, when to step back, and when to let the tune carry the room. He is not trying to make “Walk of Life” look impressive. He is playing it as if walking were enough. Which 1990s live performance still feels like that to you — not louder than the song, just sure of it?

JMSN used to post like he had something to prove. Now he posts like the internet is a garbage can, because it kind of is. The work is the work. Social is just the scraps; cut it into clips and keep moving.
