Jim Norton Gets Brutally Honest About Comedy, Marriage & Cancel Culture

I don't understand the attachment to the Olympics.

I mean, I just don't understand attaching yourself to the physical prowess of other people because they're from the same country as you are.

I don't even watch team sports anymore.

Like, I watched the Yankees this year and I was a fan again because they were in the World Series.

But then they humiliated all of us and they lost, so I won't watch them again until maybe next year if they're in the playoffs.

And I say that and guys are like, you're a bandwagon fan.

Yes.

Shouldn't you be a bandwagon fan? How has professional sports convinced people that you are somehow a deeper and more meaningful person if you tolerate a bad product? If you went to the same restaurant every Sunday and got food poisoning, and someone's like, you want to go somewhere else? You wouldn't go, I got to be loyal.

I watch them when they win, and you tell guys that, and they're like, yeah, I was watching the Yankees when they were in last place.

All right, well, you're a fucking idiot.

What am I going to tell you? You're a stupid asshole.

And you're one of the reasons they were in last place, dummy.

Because if no one showed up, they would have gotten better.

But people like you would sit there like an idiot, and they're like, we don't have to fucking do anything.

They're still coming.

I did something.

I helped the team.

I took my baseball dollars, and I gave it to escorts.

That's what I did.
