I'm not going to come back until like December, I think. But it won't be for a while because I have a whole bunch of standup till Christmas. GM : So is it up in the air? You might not come back? NM : I know, I would be very angry if someone did that. But then you'll get people like me who will stop watching! GM : You'll get people who will pay, obviously. And I was like, I don't want to charge anyone because people will just really hate you if you do that. They want to charge people for it, which I think is ridiculous because people will just get angry at me, you know? I guess you could, like, beg for money like some of them, like you're a communist or something, you know? 'If you want to help out.!' They were supposed to bring it back like this week but then they said they want to charge people two dollars. And I was like, I'll just do it for free. They wanted me to come back but they had some crazy. NM : Yeah, I'm bringing this guy Sean O'Connor. GM : You're the only non-podcast in the podcast festival. So yeah, with these guys it would be very confusing. You'd go, Is that Adam or the other guy? You couldn't tell. Well, Carolla used to used to have his buddy Dave Dameshek on the show and he sounded too much like him. GM : You listen to their podcast and it's clearly two people but they sound the same and I never know who's who and who's talking. (laughs) They look exactly the same and talk exactly the same. They're the twins, right? I always wondered how they got work. There's a guy here who does Savage Nation that's a crazy guy, you know? Like super right wing but super insane right wing where it's almost a joke. A Canadian one is Stop Podcasting Yourself. What other podcast.? Is it really a festival? Are there Canadian podcasts? NM : Is it a theatre? Every time I do a different thing up there. Last time I saw you was a few years ago at Yuk Yuk's. GM : "We've got to get the kids watching. GM : Rona Barrett! That's what I was going to say! But that’s right, the Tomorrow show did have an audience and that was awful. It was the Late, Late Show when he came back after Letterman. GM : It was always the Tomorrow show but was that when he had an audience? And then I did the show when he did the Tomorrow show and the crew was these old men and he does these filthy jokes between the commercials. ![]() Yeah, and it was just a super close-up of his face and cigarette smoke and the crew would laugh. I don’t even remember Carson very much but I remember Tom Snyder because it felt like you were the only person watching because people didn’t watch in the middle of the night like they do now. I remember when I was a kid, I would watch that show real late at night. GM : And Snyder would talk to the camera and the crew would laugh. GM : When I started mine, the role models were Tom Snyder and Bob Costas. And when we do our stupid little podcast, it’s way more fun without an audience. But anyways, so for a week he did it with no audience and they said it was really good and he loved it because he doesn’t need the audience really. NM : David Letterman did a week with no audience. It seems more fun to do it with no audience. GM : Wouldn’t it be good practice for your talk show? Then I’d be really nervous that nothing would happen. Yeah, because I said, Can’t I just do standup? Because then I’d also have to find a guest. He’s got a quick mind and all, but you can’t– GM : So it is hit and miss because it’s different every time. GM : It’s like a one-man show and he’s up there for about 90 minutes. GM : And his is just one person and it goes on forever. GM : I know Greg Proops travels around the world doing his podcast before a live audience. I guess some of those guys are kinda like ComicCon guys. ![]() Comic books and he did a podcast with the guy who did Jay and Silent Bob. I know one time I went to Newfoundland and they had Kevin Smith there for a month. The podcast fest in LA just finished, right? But fans of those shows eat it up and that’s who’s going. GM : I’ve seen live podcasts and you’re right. Because I know some people tape their podcast on the road and stuff but it seems like it would be very hit and miss, like to charge people. NM : They wanted me to do the podcast and I’m like, I think it would be a gyp. NM : What?! I thought you were the big podcast! (laughs) NM : You doing this podcast festival also? ![]() We’ve spoken at such length I wonder if I have anything left to say. Because I find those old guys will say anything because they're not in show business anymore." – Norm Macdonald "My idea was to get guys as old as possible and work backwards, like before they died. ![]()
