[Ryan Seacrest]

Subtle winners, subtle winners. Creeping and crawling. But it's a long game, dude. When you're in at 365, it's a long game. I appreciate you. And go on.

[Will Compton]

April is really an underrated time of the year for sports. Baseball started up. NBA playoffs next week, NHL playoffs next week. College football spring games going on this month in the NFL draft in a few weeks, which the boys will be at. And the Masters. The Masters this week. If you, if you're on the FanDuel sportsbook right now, the top three favorites to win round one and to win it all. You got Scotty Scheffler plus 1400 to win the first round, plus 450 to win it all. Rory McIlroy plus 1600.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's almost.

[Will Compton]

I'm loaded with the nicotine in my lip in both upper decky and lower decky.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Right now you're doing, you're doing double deckies.

[Will Compton]

Plus 650 to win the whole thing. And John Rom to win the first round plus 2500. And to win the whole thing. Plus 1400. Your boy. I'm going to sprinkle some cash on Bryson DeChambeau to win the first round plus 3,000. And our boy, shout out Max Homa. I know he's. It's a little rough for the guy right now, however. Plus 9,000 to win.

[Ryan Seacrest]

The calm waters never made a skilled sailor for our boy.

[Will Compton]

He'll be locked in. He'll be ready to go. He had it because he had a nice showing last year. JP knows what I'm talking about.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like where you're going with that. With the masters for me, Maverick McNeely to lead in the first round and ask me why.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, ask me why. Why? Why?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Because we were sitting in a pre production meeting and we started talking about, hey, who are we going to pick for this thing? One guy in the corner whispers, he goes, I know exactly who's going to win the first round. Obviously the ears perk up immediately. I turn to my right, who Do I see? J.P. huffy. And he always knows what we're talking. He throws out Maverick McNeely on me. Guess what? Gonna bet that immediately. But the winning to win it all. It's been a man who's been in this building before. You know who I'm thinking about? Wyndham Clark. Put him in there.

[Will Compton]

He's been heavy on that.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And if we're gonna follow the signs of life, where do we head this week for spring tour? We head to Oregon. Where did Wyndham Clark go to school? Now does busting with the boys and Wyndham Clark's window's life. Did those things just meet and cause a massive chaos? Only time will tell.

[Will Compton]

The locker room.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I like it.

[Will Compton]

He was on the locker room.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He was in the locker room.

[Will Compton]

Why do you like. Why do you like Windham G?

[Ryan Seacrest]

He's one of the boys.

[Mark Norman]

You know, I like. I like Wyndham, but I personally think.

[Will Compton]

I think it's safe to put money.

[Mark Norman]

On Bryson and Colin Morikawa this week.

[Will Compton]

Who's that second one?

[Mark Norman]

Colin Morikawa.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. I think that's actually an appetizer dish you get. It's like octopus.

[Mark Norman]

That's why I'm gonna put money on.

[Will Compton]

Delete after day one.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Colin Morgan, the dish.

[Will Compton]

Another big event going on this weekend.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Tell them about it, Will.

[Will Compton]

UFC 314.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, my God. Who's fighting in it?

[Will Compton]

We'll get to who's fighting it. Everybody knows the boy. We won't say what.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Say what you're gonna say so we can get to what we're.

[Will Compton]

The boosting with the boys profit boost is back for UFC 314. The featherweight title is on the line, but the biggest winner of the night could be you with FanDuel and the boosting with the boys profit boost token where all you have to do, you'll go into the app, you'll go on the website, your boys. The boosting with the boys profit boost 30 profit boost will be right there on the main page. You claim that token, you build yourself a parlay for UFC 314. You. You add the token, you win money, you shout out the boys.

[Ryan Seacrest]

More than anything, you have fun.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

More than anything. Now, last time we did the booster with the boys token was we first got introduced to fan and I know that close to a million people used it. Let's give a round of applause for that.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, that is right.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. Close to a million people. Now, Will Compton and myself or either or.

[Will Compton]

We won the first one.

[Mark Norman]

Really?

[Will Compton]

The very first one.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Did we? I think we've been betting so much.

[Will Compton]

Because we won the. Because we had. We had two. They were like plus 550, and then the second was plus 550. We won the first one, lost the second one.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Okay.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I love it.

[Will Compton]

Yes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Round applause for going 500, just FYI. Yeah. Going 500. Now, just FYI, UFC 314, we're going to put parlays in there. Last time we did the UFC parlay, it didn't go. We wanted actually. None of the legs hit. You get the jitters, you get the first hit out of the way. We're back into our second UFC parlay. At the very least, we're going to hit a leg. I'm going to say I can. No guarantees.

[Will Compton]

At the very least, we're going to hit a lake, build the parlay, use the profit boost, and then hit some individuals.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And you can go in that beautiful app. You can go in that beautiful app, and you'll be able to see my face and Will Compton's face. Possibly two separate parlays. Or we might just put our big brains together and put one.

[Will Compton]

I think we'll be on the same wavelength.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You think so?

[Will Compton]

Because I. We. We really lean on jp. We know we're gonna go with the boy, Chandler. Yeah, we're gonna lean on JP For. For Vulcan.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Diego Lopez.

[Will Compton]

Yes. Diego Lopez.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Who? But. Yeah, but J.P. and I, are we on the same wave with that?

[Will Compton]

I think it's a toss up. Yeah, I think we are.

[Mark Norman]

Lopez.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

It just hurts.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It hurts because this might be last. Bulk is like, you know, he's a God, and if he loses this fight.

[Will Compton]

I don't know if he puts the gloves down or not.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, you always want to go out with a win.

[Mark Norman]

I know.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I always want to write you when that. That last period on that story, when you're writing it in pen. You want that say, I won then. I did this period. Done.

[Will Compton]

It just has felt. Because we've seen Lopez at the other fights, and it feels inevitable that he's going to be raising the belt at some point. Inevitable. Right now. Right now he's the underdog.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, yeah.

[Will Compton]

Right now, he's the underdog at plus 110 Volcan. Great for us. Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So right now, if you're taking. If you take Lopez and you take chandler Straight up, two underdogs, that's like plus 391.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Because I don't know why I keep just saying plus 391 is if it's. All of my parlays are plus.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Because Chandler's in a dog right now. Plus 136. That'll be a fun fight. Patty the Baggie, Patty the Baddie. But all you gotta do, just visit fanduel.combussin to get your UFC 314 parlay profit boost, which goes live on Friday. FanDuel, America's number one sports book. Make every moment more. How are we feeling about. How we feeling about the boy? I'm starting to get. You're starting to get that week of jitters. Like, you're starting to get nervous, right? Damn. The fight is this week, right? He fights Patty the Baddie this week.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Dude. It makes me want to pull the trigger and actually just go down to Miami. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Let's get right there in the action. Feel the sweat.

[Ryan Seacrest]

When JP and I were in New York and he got in the Octagon, I truly felt like I was in there with him. This is like, it's your guy. Like, you're with them. I know his kids. Like, he's been to my house. Like, he's like, he's a boy. He's a homie.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And then we say, hey, Mike, and he does the point, and it's like that energy, that fight in the fifth round with Oliveira, like, and you think he's gonna get it done. Like, Mike always brings the heat.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

If you're gonna. If you're gonna watch a UFC event, make sure Michael Chandler is a part of that card. And then Patty as well, I was gonna say. I mean, Patty brings that. He.

[Will Compton]

Two great showmen. Two great showmen.

[Ryan Seacrest]

A couple of coxman just getting after it in there. And so I think a good bet for this parlay when these. When these things come out is it's not going to go five rounds. This fight's not going five rounds. Someone's gonna draw in line the sand around two or three.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And they're gonna. One's gonna finish off the other. This is the first time that we've hit a production meeting, and not everybody with bus with the boys is going for Mike Chandler, though.

[Will Compton]

Oh, really? Crazy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Crazy. Now, I will say we've had a couple of additions. We've had a couple of guys. The OG boys in here, we all know. Is anybody here not riding with Mike Chandler? Rhetorical. I know you're all right.

[Will Compton]

Oh, so we're talking about Jared and Clump. Clump.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Clump. CL had words, too, of like, yeah, he. Loy did have words. He just doesn't know, man. He just doesn't know.

[Will Compton]

What was Clump saying about. Patty's good, man? You know, people don't People don't realize how good Patty is. He's going to beat Mike. Mike's not as good. Mike's not as good.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

I'm like, patty's a good fighter, but here's my thing.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Sure.

[Will Compton]

From the objective viewpoint, I don't know how I'm surprised Patty is the favorite. And then if you are a fan watching, like, I don't know why you would say that Patty is better than Mike until they fight and they actually see what the result is.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Right.

[Will Compton]

Because he's done nothing to show that he would be. I was gonna say, how long ago. When was the last time Patty was in the ring?

[Ryan Seacrest]

It's been a while.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. I mean, he won his last one. I think it was last year. Yeah. Like, early last year. Yeah. Because I did see him scrap with that troll, which. Respect.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Respect.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Respect to that. This one will be a fun one.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It's gonna be a blast, man. It's gonna be. It's gonna be fun to watch. I. I can't wait. You saw when the fight props come out, though. I think there's a good look at under five rounds or under a certain amount of rounds as part of the parlay. I think it's a big move for us.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Like a same fight parlay.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Right. And this ufc, in this UFC parlay, I will be heavy. Chandler, fight.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But I like Lopez.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I like Lopez, dude.

[Will Compton]

Did y'all see Mike and Patty? They were doing the zoom call with each other, and they're talking about how they think the fight's gonna go, and Patty is saying that, you know, Mike won't be able to put his hands on him or whatever it is. And Mike just lifts up his fist in the camera, the calloused like. And Patty put his hands up, too. But, like, the calluses of their knuckles, like, they're. Both of their hands looked broken, and they're both. And they're both, like, laughing, and Mike's like, you got bird hands. You got bird hands.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, my.

[Will Compton]

Dude, y'all. Y'all need to go get your hands checked out.

[Ryan Seacrest]

There's something going on there. You're arthritic hands.

[Will Compton]

At the end of the day, do you see that? That meme Mike quote, tweeted, and it was, like, talking about who's favored to win. And it's Patty, like, yeah, yeah. Version.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It's like trying to tell a UFC fan the person on the left is favored over the person on the right.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Because Mike does. He's got the off the bus look.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He walks out the bus, you're like, God, I gotta fight that guy.

[Will Compton]

He'll be ready to go. How long do y'all think he'll be jacked for?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Forever.

[Will Compton]

Forever.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Mike's. Mike's a forever 65 years old.

[Will Compton]

He'll be six pack. I think so. He might have like a, like a beer gut or something like that. But it'll be like one of those strong ones to where you can still see the outline of the six pack and still think he'll be arm shoulders, pitbull head, everything else.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, yeah.

[Will Compton]

Because he's older in the game and he's the most fit fighter probably. Yeah. I will say obsessed with the fitness world.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I can see, I can see Chandler getting a Bill Compton 20, 22 body. I could see it happen.

[Will Compton]

You could see it going like.

[Ryan Seacrest]

See it going like that.

[Will Compton]

Dang.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Just like he hangs it up and he's like, you know what? Like, obviously Mike's got this like incredible work ethic, motivation, like walk on mentality. But when you hang the gloves up and he's like. Gets a little relaxed. It's very easy to see Mike when I see him at beer Olympics and I see him like kind of when he's off a little bit. Like, you can see it, it goes to the top.

[Will Compton]

It'll be like a little pop belt.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. It'll be a pop belly with just tread of a six pack there. Yeah, you can see it popping out. He's not the tallest guy in the world too. He's gonna enjoy himself a little bit. He's gonna travel the world.

[Will Compton]

You saw Bill Compton over the weekend though.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I saw Bill Gompton over the weekend.

[Will Compton]

Jeff Bezos.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I thought Bill Compton was on that peptide.

[Will Compton]

You thought?

[Mark Norman]

What do you mean?

[Ryan Seacrest]

No, no, no, let me finish. Yeah, he's on it. I know he's.

[Will Compton]

He's on it all.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Bill goes, you ever done deca? No, I'm never.

[Will Compton]

The strong jaw he's got.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Never going right now, like, what are you talking about?

[Will Compton]

You missed your window for the time.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He's got like a peptide in him that is giving him a tan. You ever see those? Peptide. They have a peptide now that actually like manipulates your body. Yes. That will make you tan without going in the sun. Because I was asking like, bro, you. You look tan.

[Will Compton]

Might need that in the winter time.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Might need it. Might gotta have it. But like. Yeah. It tricks your body.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Into being dark.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. I don't know if he's on that one. I don't even know what that was.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No, he said he wasn't.

[Will Compton]

I asked him straight up Michael Jackson.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But yeah, the reason why I saw Bill is sweet. Sweet Rue had a third birthday party. Let's give a round of applause for little Roo.

[Will Compton]

Shout out, little Roo.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Hey. Hey. It was at a nice little spot too. There's a bouncy house, some tacos going on. Some guy was just barista and his ass off.

[Will Compton]

Yes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Putting some fire lattes together. But this is your stage.

[Will Compton]

Clutch, clutch. Little coffee bar. You know, Charlie wanted to throw the. Throw the party for Rue. And she's like. She's like, babe, it's Drew's golden birthday. And first of all, what a shitty golden birthday to have that early in your life. But, dude, she had a great time. She had a great week. Her birthday was on Thursday. Brought her to the shop. The boys are hyping her up. We go into the weekend, family's coming to town. Well, I had my brothers, my dad, everybody driving to town, like five hours. Uncle Brad came to town, had a lot of good friends. JP shows up last minute, Rue gets hype. Hey, rude, JP's here. She's like, I always see JP, JP. But she had a blast, man. And then I. I. Charo took her to the ballet around Christmas, and it was just like a mother, daughter, a little date. So I wanted to throw a little daddy daughter date in there. She wanted to bring her homie Livy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, yeah. So check.

[Will Compton]

Didn't she double daddy daughter day going on with the boy Brian. Shout out. Brian and Livy. But we had a great time, man. And they had fun. No breakdowns. We were walking into the state. We were walking to the arena. We left passing the truck, and she's like, I'm gonna pass him. Like, hey, pass. He's in the truck.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, we got.

[Will Compton]

We got to give it away. We got to give the passies to Passy Ferry this week. So the passies are going away.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They're gone.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. That'll be a big thank God. We're going to Oregon. That'll be one of those. Thank God.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, you'll get a call from Charles. Have you landed yet? Call me.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, let's. You. You dropped them off at the passing fair yet? Because I got her this weekend, Charles going out of town to Arizona to do a work thing. And so I got. I got both kids this weekend. So I'm just hoping the, you know, those few days of chaos get through.

[Ryan Seacrest]

The turbulence, because it's like passes are like the kids version of Nicotine takes three days to get out of your system, but then it's really about the habit.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah, 1,000%. Now I feel like Ru rips that thing and it's just like, man, it is going to be hell getting her off of this.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Are you going to go a different path with the passy on Scotty?

[Will Compton]

Yeah, I think you have to.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Got to.

[Will Compton]

I think you have to. And shout out Scotty. It doesn't seem like she's as. Like she hasn't lean on the passing near as much as, like, Rue just out of the womb was. Was all about the passing.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

You have to go wake her up. Like, Scotty sleeps. Well, Rue didn't sleep as well as Scotty did. Scotty's a lot more chill. She's all smiles. Like, Rue's all smiles too. But Rue, like, her personality was the way she was as, like an infant, too.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

But, yeah, you got to go a different route with little Scotty Joe.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It's amazing to see ruse little transition of confidence because in the first couple years of life, a year and a.

[Will Compton]

Half, when she said when she first. Can't really say a whole lot.

[Ryan Seacrest]

When she was first starting to get mobile, like, you'd see her, she like, kind of like stranger danger with everybody. It seemed like it was only mom and dad. And recently, in the last year, it's like this girl has all the confidence in the world.

[Will Compton]

She's all about it. Her. Her spirit is awesome, man.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Got myself a little time with Scotty. Me and Tay were holding her. She was bobbing and weaving, doing the little head. She was chicken pecking around.

[Will Compton]

All smiles, right?

[Ryan Seacrest]

All smiles. She's got her dad's mouth. She only breathes through her mouth like it was. It was a nice little time. It was a nice little time.

[Will Compton]

Gotta start taping her mouth when she sleeps.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And you can see Charles parents, like, we kind of, like, we didn't take her, but like, hey, you mind if we, like. Yeah. And then Charles mom kind of just stood over me and Taylor for the 20 minutes and like.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Making sure we were doing it right.

[Will Compton]

Lola's a little helicopter mom.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, I like, yeah, Helicopter grandparent.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No, but that was a fun. That was a fun birthday party. I took down those Lady Bird tacos, too.

[Will Compton]

I was gonna say shout out, Lady Bird those tacos.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Bang, bro.

[Will Compton]

Go hit up Ladybird.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, it was. It was a nice. It was a nice setup. And then lattes, dude. I mean, there's only two on the docket. And at the bottom, it said Cold brew. And I went to do my thing. I walked up to Buddy and I said, hey, let me get that cold brew. And he's like, no, I don't have it. I forgot it actually. Yeah, okay, let me get this latte. Then I smacked three of them things.

[Will Compton]

Dude, they were awesome.

[Ryan Seacrest]

In an hour.

[Will Compton]

Coffee bar was clutch. Just clutch that for the adults edition. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Troy was thinking about it because I was like, you know, you talk about the party and having a party for your three year old, having everybody come, and then she's like, I got some things that, you know, the adults will have. You have lady bird taco. You have a coffee bar, stuff for people to enjoy, have some conversation. That way you're not just watching the 3 year olds the entire time.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Right. My two kids ran in there and they had fun.

[Will Compton]

And by the way, Brian wanted me to tell you guys that your kids were awesome to. To Parks.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's awesome.

[Will Compton]

His son.

[Ryan Seacrest]

His son, he's the. The straight haired. He's got black hair, right?

[Will Compton]

Yeah, he's a.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He's a straight kid.

[Will Compton]

He's like, I think he's four. Yeah, yeah, yeah, He's a four year old. So usually he's ripping around with. With Livy, who's two, I believe, or three.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Right.

[Will Compton]

Rue's age. So he's usually around the younger kids. So getting to hang out with the older kids. Win and Willow were like awesome to.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Him about her, where she's like, she does really good with young kids.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Like, she kind of takes them under their wing. Taylin was very nervous about the physicality going in the bounce house. And she, Taylor, be like, hey, go take care of that. I walk over, but you guys got to calm down. But then I like body slam one of them and walk away. Like I made it worse. So they owned it for a little bit. But Taylin made a point. Every time a little kid comes in. Chill.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So then a little kid would kind of start climbing up. I helped one little kid in there once. I had to make, you know, it was. It's always uncomfortable grabbing a kid that's not yours.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But as soon as the kid got in, Win's like, hey, hey, hey, time out, little kid. And they all kind of just like watch the kid, like kind of stroll around for a little bit. Once it got out, it was WWE in there.

[Will Compton]

Isn't it funny too? Like, as a parent, you're like watching your. Your little one and then they go and hang out with like older kids and you're kind of like, man, I hope they don't get like, get hurt in this situation.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And you're kind of like. You're kind of like up about it. So when we were driving to the game, he's like, hey, can you tell Taylor, like, his kids were awesome too?

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's all time. That'll be a good note for Taylor when I get home. Because she was worried about that birthday party.

[Will Compton]

And as a parent hearing that, you're kind of like, all right. Yeah, yeah. You feel like you're getting something figured out.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Cuz a piece of me is like, when I see Willow, who's four go in, there's like five or six year olds and she starts trying to mix it up. I want to see her put her hands on somebody. Yeah, I want to see her. I want to see what kind of she's got to her. She didn't disappoint, dad. She did not disappoint that she was tossing kids around. I told her to chill one time. She's like, all right. And then she grabbed that. That boy, that four year old boy.

[Will Compton]

She grabbed that boy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That boy, like, son thing. I'm like, yeah, she's got it. She's got the stuff.

[Will Compton]

Why I saw her took. I mean, your elbow just gave her one to the head and she just didn't even blink. My elbow, yeah, yeah, I got. My bad, sweetheart. But she usually.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, yeah, Willow might have seen a little bulldog. She. Yeah, she kind of just eats. She does internalize a little bit, which you got to worry about, but she does when it comes to pain, she eats like. We had a birthday party in the summertime. I don't know why we have what his podcast doesn't be about my kids, but she like one of the big chairs at the kid. My kitchen counter. The big heavy chairs, like fell and landed on her foot and she was screaming and I was like, she might actually broker. I might actually have to take this kid to the hospital. I go, hey, sweetie, if it's. If it hurts that bad, we have to go to the hospital. She's like, it doesn't hurt that bad. We're fine. We're staying. We're staying for the party and the rest of the day. I think she had like a bruise on top of her foot. Was limping around for like three days. But like after the party was possibly going away from her. She's like, we're good. Don't worry about this. Yeah, she's got it. She's got it, man.

[Will Compton]

Did you do. Yeah. Shout out the kids. Do you have a thing? I would love your intel. I would love your input. But do you have a thing when your kid is getting, like, too many presents? Yeah, like, too many birthday presents. Because we're sitting there, Charlie and I, like, ruse open some of them, and some. Charlie. Charlie and I are like, let's figure out how to, like, donate some gifts so that way she doesn't have, like, too many gifts.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's the move right there. Because towns are such a big family, they just flood. Like, they flood so many gifts.

[Will Compton]

It's like, how do you tell people to, like, you know, chill? How you tell people to, like, not get too many.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Right. Like, my. I came home from.

[Will Compton]

Matter of fact, I think you're a culprit. You had, like, massive bags.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And I remember looking at that bag just being like, God damn it.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I know, because I am an enabler, because I had the same worry as you. Like, I don't like anything. I want my kid to have good work ethic and not be, like. And just be grateful. Good work ethic and grateful are the two, like, key pillars for me.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So when all these presents are coming in, what we'll do is we'll get all the presents. We'll see what they play with in the first couple of weeks. And they were like, hey, let's donate. And then you have to explain, there's kids that don't get gifts. There's kids that don't have it as good as you. My kids don't know. You know, they. They. They walk around in my house, and I'm like, you have no clue, man. Yeah. You have no idea how tough this life can actually be.

[Will Compton]

I like that move, though. Figure out what they're playing with, and then.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, and then you donate. You donate them away, but then you find out what they really love, because you'll be like, all right, this box, it's all. It's going out of here. It's getting gone. And they really, like, they'll sit there with two dolls in their hand and have a breakdown about it. But I sit there, I'm like, yeah, you got to pick one, brother.

[Will Compton]

Which one?

[Ryan Seacrest]

You got to pick one. I'm with you on the spoiling stuff, though. That stuff worries me because it's again.

[Will Compton]

It'S like, I don't want to sit there and tell everybody to, like, not get her a gift. Especially like, when, you know, my brothers, everybody wants to, you know, be the uncle. Everybody want, like, wants to have.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Like, I'm sure Cody and Wyatt Are sitting there being like, who's going to out gift?

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Because I remember telling Cody, I'm like, bro, just get her like a. Like a headband that has, like, Elsa frozen on it. Like, she'll be good with that. He gets her, like, a butterfly kit, which she enjoys. I'm just thinking, you don't have to go. You don't have to get gifts for her all the time.

[Ryan Seacrest]

If everybody.

[Will Compton]

Christmas is good. And then if you get like, a nice, like, small, like, sentimental type gift for a birthday or something, I feel like that's kind of the.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I think if everybody. If everybody listened to you, she would only have frozen headbands. Because I think I asked you in a couple guys I recommended was like.

[Will Compton]

A soccer ball and a frozen headb.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, that's. Jesus. Have a dozen soccer balls and 15 headbands. Yeah, there you go, Roo.

[Will Compton]

Here's a Moana one. Here's an Elsa one.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But it was a good party. Yeah, it was a solid party, man. It was a good time.

[Will Compton]

Everybody seemed to have a good time.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It was a big weekend for all of us, man.

[Will Compton]

Jp, your mom came to town. She did. Mom was in town, first time visiting me in Nashville. And it was. I heard your dad was a little tight about it. He was first words out of his mouth when I'm talking to him. Yeah, it's. Man. I was like, God dang. So, no, but it was good. She wanted to stay in our apartment with us. And if he would have come, they wouldn't have been able because we got a queen size guest bed. But we hit noco. Best restaurant in Nashville.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's the one in East.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. JP's high on it. High on it. And then listening room on Saturday, which Listening room is awesome. If y'all haven't been. They'll just do, like, writers rounds or, you know, guys that have written all these number one songs will be performing them, telling you the story behind it, which always amazes me. There's, like, a couple guys out there that have number one songs that have been on ice for, like, 15 years. And then finally somebody cuts it and they get their first number one. Even though they wrote it back in the early 2000s. The industry is. Yeah. Messed up, but it was awesome.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It's.

[Will Compton]

Anytime you get to spend time with your mom, like, I feel like this is the first time since college we've hung out like this, which. That's awesome, man. So it was a lot of fun. We got to get your dad out here and all. For all the dads just of the busing with the boys crew. You're put on notice. You're expected to be out here for the dad combine.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Except for my dad.

[Mark Norman]

Do we have a date?

[Will Compton]

No, he's there.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Dave don't have a Dave might have to have a one year suspension. We're putting Dave hire a homeless guy and make him be my dad for the. For the day.

[Will Compton]

We'll just put it. We'll build like a penalty box and just put him in the.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, because Dave was. Dave was talking about it. He's like, hey, I gotta. I gotta make this right. I'm like, I. I might make sure you don't come.

[Will Compton]

Sounds like he's trying to make it better.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He's trying to make it better. But also, Dave, like, everyone kind of thinks when we play board games or whatever, like, yeah, Taylor would do that. And then when you go, just confirms to everybody, I'm trying to rewrite history. I'm trying to break family ties. And you're out here doing that to us, man.

[Will Compton]

Trying to break the generational habits.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You know, Dave's listening to this right now just like, God damn it, Taylor, please let me come back.

[Will Compton]

You're like, yeah, Dave, you're loved back. Yeah, Dave's back.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, that's great. All right.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, Dave's welcome.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I've been vetoed. Dave, you're in.

[Will Compton]

Dave, man. You gotta have. Dave, you gotta have all the dads there. Oh, yeah, Speaking of dad mode, seemed like you dove into some dad mode over the weekend.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, dude, Thursday we had a nice little flood happen in our. Our basement because we had the tornado warning on Wednesday night.

[Will Compton]

Dude, we had tornado warnings all week.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It was long. It was a week of tornadoes. And so we get in the basement, we have a little safe room down there. We get everybody kind of bundled up or whatever. And I remember at like three in the morning, both my girls are like, not worried about a tornado. They're more worried about spiders. But they also want water. So I go and get them water, bring it to them, and I fall asleep. Morning. Taylor gets up and Willow get up, and they kind of go. Then when gets up, I'm kind of still sleeping. I'm like, I'm getting my. My time in a little bit. I go to get up and I step on the ground and I'm like, holy. Like, they must have spilled the water. And I take a couple more steps. I'm like, this is not spilled water. It's not. So the whole basement is flooded. And then I find this little drain and it's, like, just covered in, like, random. I just. A bunch of ground stuff. That's what it is, a bunch of ground stuff. And, dude, there's like a dozen people at my house trying to, like, figure everything out, what's going on. We're putting things back in place, and there, everyone's kind of staring at this thing. We take that little drain thing off because it's supposed to. It's supposed to drain water stuff. We take that off, and then the ground was everywhere. And I'm like, I don't know where this pipe goes. And I got men, real men standing around just kind of looking at it like, what do we do next?

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And I said, why don't we take a little strainer and put it on there? And they're like, yeah, all right, buddy. Kind of. Give me that. Yeah. Oh, try whatever you want to at your house. I did that. And it drained all of it. All of it, bro.

[Will Compton]

That ground stuff didn't stand a chance of me, dude.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I had so much stuff.

[Will Compton]

The ground stuff was in.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, the water stuff. The water stuff was mixed in with the ground stuff, Dude. We just had a lot of stuff going on down there. And then the next day, I come to the bus. Or no, yeah, Friday, I go to the bus, come back, and there's this big ass, like, ferret. And. Yeah, there's a big ass cage stuff for, like, animals and pants. Like, you got to put that together. And it says. It always says the same thing. No tools needed. But you open up the damn little thing, and it's got, like, this.

[Will Compton]

Screw the little Allen wrench. Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So you know what your boy did? I walked into the garage, called somebody, hey, where are the power tools that I bought four years ago? They tell me where it's at. I get the Milwaukee tools out, and your boy put that together, too. So it was a. It was a big weekend for my man card.

[Will Compton]

Dad mode was activated.

[Ryan Seacrest]

A little note, too. That strainer is actually still right there right now. I've left it out. I wanted. I wanted the real men to pull up on Monday and see that. I wanted them to see. Notice that there's no water here. I wonder how he did it. Probably the strainer. So, yeah, it was a big deal for me, man. Big weekend.

[Will Compton]

The. The tornado stuff was crazy, man. What was the big day?

[Mark Norman]

Wednesday.

[Will Compton]

Wednesday when it first started. And the sirens are going off all around the city. We're watching the. The live stream on YouTube. What's that? What's that page? Nash?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Severe was it Nash, WX or something. They're the best follow when it comes to storms in Nashville.

[Will Compton]

The chat that you want to talk about. Yeah, that is going nuts. They're like, an alien abduction has occurred in Egypt east. And then everyone's running with it.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Send us the updates. They go crazy, man.

[Will Compton]

That is, too. Because the one that happened a few years ago, it was going crazy. I wanted to say Charl and I slept through it. Like the one that hit in east, dude.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

You kind of, like, wake up and you go back to sleep, but this time knowing that it was all going off and you got the two kids upstairs and stuff, it's like, you know, you're starting to feel a little more serious about the tornado warnings. Like, we're down in the closet, we're laying on the floor and everything. Ru's, like, dead. Are you scared? I was like, no, that's not scared. And she's like, okay, I'm not scared either.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No. That's sweet. Yeah, dude, a couple years ago, when that tornado happened.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I'm in that Georgetown house, and town's like, hey, there's a tornado war night. You think we should get the kids and bring them downstairs? I was like, nah, we're fine. Go to sleep. Slept through the siren, slept through everything. The city slept through everything. Woke up the next day, just, like, absolute chaos happened in Nashville. I'm like, oh, yeah, I need to be a better leader.

[Will Compton]

Over on this one.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Through the tornado thing.

[Will Compton]

It was happening all week long. Like, I want to say on. On Friday, I want to say, my dad got in, and then we're talking about possibly doing dinner, and they're like, you guys don't have any storms going on. And then I checked the app, and I'm like, oh, heavy rain. Supposed to hit in five minutes. And just like that, bro. Heavy rainfall was going nuts. It was dumping, blowing sideways. A tree. A tree goes down on the road, that takes out the power for, like, half the block. It was crazy, dude.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, Generator. I don't even know if the generator worked or not, because I had power the whole time. But good, good time.

[Mark Norman]

You sent that text on Wednesday asking about power.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And I was like, no, no, dude, I'll. Trust me. I would have been. I've been walking around that rain. There were some lightning strikes, though, that I felt like were on top of me. I was like. I was going out torn, hitting the animals, like, making sure they're all good. And at one point, there was like, a. Like, a light flash and, like, the top of My hair felt like it got staticky. And then a loud crack right after that. I, like, legit was like, these animals gotta fend for themselves tonight.

[Will Compton]

Like, a flash of lightning happens.

[Mark Norman]

You all do that old, like, wives tell where you count, like, one Mississippi, two Mississippi.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

The thunder happens.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You're like, all right.

[Will Compton]

That's how far away. Yeah. Yeah, dude, that's a good one.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's a good one.

[Will Compton]

We were playing pubg that night, and the storm would happen or the lightning would strike, and I'm just sitting there in my head counting. I'm like, don't worry, boys is like 20 miles away right now.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. Speaking of pubg, what a game. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Got you on.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And you guys did it in a way that I couldn't say no.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Like, Sherm and Will pulled me into our little. The den, a little area where we do a We stream. And I'm like, oh, who's on the hot seat? And they're like, nah, it's not a hot seat. It's the opportunity seat. I'm like, oh, what's happening? They're like, pub G, we need a four tonight. You in? And I immediately called Dalen.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I was like, can I do this? Do we have any plans? So much fun.

[Will Compton]

It's like a dream of mine was coming to life because I brought up pubg. I brought up rainbow six back in the wrist days.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

During COVID Yes. And seeing it all come to life, like, it was a. It was a proud moment that.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That makes me look back at the COVID time and say, we missed a knop.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

With the pubg.

[Will Compton]

So we wouldn't have been able to pull it off that well, though, because our boy Brad.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Well, then also, we had five to biscuit.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You have to play a four.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So Brad. Brad would have been essentially Jared.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. I'm assuming he just can't really play shooter games. Like, you got your boys who just, for whatever reason, they can't play shooter games that well. And he's one of those guys that you just can't like, all right, let's just play Risk or let's play Rocket League. And then you just leave them off on the side.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Do you want to talk about what Jared did?

[Will Compton]

So Jared.

[Mark Norman]

No, no.

[Will Compton]

So Jared and Taylor have this rivalry going on.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It's not a rivalry.

[Will Compton]

It's like a sibling rivalry rivalry.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He's like a little bro.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Little bro. Big bro. That dynamic goes on at all times. That little rivalry goes on. It seems. It feels like at all times. At the shop. That's knowing that we were going to get Jared and Taylor on the game on pubg. We already knew it was going to be fireworks.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yep.

[Will Compton]

And so I start planning in Jared's year to kill Taylor when he lands in pubg. And then Jared looks at me like, as he leaves, and. And JP and Coop, I believe we're standing there. And J. And J was like, you have my word, I'll kill him. And I'm like, yeah, I'm walked off that night. Taylor's on before Jared can get on. It's just me, Sherman, Taylor playing. And then Taylor starts like, hey, I'm gonna kill Jared. And then text in the. In our group chat with me, him, and Sherm. Like, I'm gonna. I'm gonna kill Jared whenever we land. And I'm just grinning behind the phone, knowing that both of them want to kill each other when they land.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Well, Sherm said when we first got on, he's like, I can't wait for Jared to get on, because you know one of them is going to kill each other.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So when I hear Jared's going, I hit you both. I'm like, hey, should I kill Jared? But my. The way my ADD works, I put my phone down, then completely forgot about it.

[Will Compton]

But I'm texting you on the side. I'm like, I'm telling Jared and Taylor both on the side. I'm telling Jared, hey, Taylor said he's.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Gonna kill Master Willie.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. And then I'm texting Taylor. I'm like, hey, Jared. So he's gonna kill you, so you got to move fast when you land. And then I text Sherm, just one on one, like, this is awesome, Jared. This is gonna be hilarious. They both land, and we're starting to loot. And if you're not familiar with pubg, you're, like, looting. You're trying to pick up gear and everything else. Jared, I see him run across my window, like, going to kill you. And then I just hear Taylor on the mic saying, oh, I don't have any ammo yet. And I'm like, oh, Jared's gonna get the boy, Taylor. So I go into the room to watch this unfold. Jared knocks down Taylor. And in this game, you don't kill anybody outright. You knock them down first, and they're crawling, and you would have to finish them off, and then they're out of the game. They're out of the game unless you, like, bring them back to life.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Right. And when you first drop in the game, like, there's like, you guys are referring to it as hot drops. And sometimes you drop and there's like, nobody.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So when we dropped, there was really nobody around us.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So I'm kind of going. I go, hey, I got no ammo, if anybody has any. And then all of a sudden, I get shot. My little screen, like, vibrates and I see a little blood pop up. I'm like, hey, I'm taking shots. I'm taking shots. And then I get knocked. And it's like, you know you've been knocked, and it puts you in this like, like little, like, crawly position. And I just, like, pan my camera over and I see Jared, like, standing there, pressing his pelvis against me, crawling around.

[Will Compton]

Jared starts teabagging him, telling you he's got to take this.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And I think.

[Will Compton]

And then he picks Taylor up. So it's like, okay, he's going to pick him up. Like, let's start playing the game. He knocks Taylor again.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

Picks him up, knocks him a third.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Time, which is still funny.

[Will Compton]

We're all sitting there on the. My. Jerry, what are you doing? Like, no time. Time's running out. Like, we're going to have to the storm stop knocking him down. Like, let's start playing now. Then Jared kills him. Like, executes him and murders him to where he's out of the game.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It's like, you've been killed.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. And we're like, what the fuck are you doing, bro? He's like, you told me. And just like that, Jared is that friend. We're in high school. If you get in trouble in front of your parents, he starts narcing and saying everything. He's like, will texted me this at like 9:50pm make sure you. Hey, make sure you kill Taylor. Taylor's gonna kill you. Will sends a screenshot saying, taylor's gonna kill you. Will saying all this. Sherm's there, Sherm's laughing, saying, kill him. And he just starts outing everybody. And we're. We're all just laughing like, bro, Jared, relax.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And the whole time in the game, I'm so new to the game. I'm like, am I just done for this round?

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Like, I just got to sit here and wait. So Jared's got to go revamp me. He takes on fire.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It was a fucking deal, man.

[Will Compton]

It was a fun night, though. We were up goon until like 2 in the morning.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I feel like before we got. It was late. Got that chicken dinner, though. Yeah, it was massive. It was a massive deal.

[Mark Norman]

The. The chatter was just Epic.

[Will Compton]

For the remainder of the night between Will and Taylor, everything turned into a fight.

[Mark Norman]

From there on out of Jared got the scope that Taylor wanted, wouldn't give it to Taylor, was like trying to get you to like do or like say things like you forgave them or like, like, hey, it's all good. You knocked me and now I'll give you the scope.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like that's gonna count for anything.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Will Compton]

And I loved how deep his voice.

[Mark Norman]

Was when he was knocking you. He was like, yeah, what do you.

[Will Compton]

Think about that, Taylor?

[Mark Norman]

What do you think?

[Will Compton]

And then as soon as Taylor was.

[Mark Norman]

Like, when he killed Taylor and we're.

[Will Compton]

Like, dude, what are you doing? And he started narcing on everybody.

[Mark Norman]

He went the high pitch voice, it was like, well, I don't know. It was just like the tale of two Jared's.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. That night, I want to say the sleep hour count was low. However, what I got in the mail, I've gotten on my Ashton Hall. Those are Ashton Hall. Come on.

[Mark Norman]

The morning routine.

[Will Compton]

Come on, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, oh, oh, yeah, the dude who's joining out there. Sorry.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, He's a leader.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Okay, my fault. Go on.

[Will Compton]

He's got these magnetic nasal strips and I got them in the mail and I you not. They're game changers, really. These are game changers, boys. Like you have, there's different tapes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You clip the other like pulls your nose.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, there's like tapes out there that try to like that stay stiff. Then they try to expand your nostrils. This one, it has like a little piece of tape on each side and has this little magnetic strip. Right? And so then you have like this fixed like hard material nasal strip to where it magnetizes to it. So it expands your nostrils far. So I have the mouth tape on, I have the nostril magnetic strips now. And bro, I think I only got like 5 hours and some change of sleep. I logged in 80 sleep score on my garment.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No shit.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, this I'm telling you. Type in, type in magnetic nasal strip.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Let me ask you this so we.

[Will Compton]

Can at least shout out the brand so in case people that want to get their sleep game in order.

[Ryan Seacrest]

How does it work with the face routine though?

[Will Compton]

So you'll do your face routine. Make sure you're dry up. Now our boy Ashton hall uses a banana to clean his face. I haven't gotten that far yet. I'll just use the face wash. I'll do my little night routine on my face. Yeah, yeah, but I'll just, I'll Put. I'll make sure it's dry. Yeah. Intake. Intake bands. Magnetic intake bands is the spot, is the place to order from. And so you. You'll have your. You'll still have like your dry skin. You'll get it dry and you'll just tape them on and it'll magnetize it up and just, just insulate your nostril.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I put like an oil on. There's an oil at the end, so my face is like greasy.

[Will Compton]

You might have to try it out and experiment. Who knows?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Again, ash and all, he rubs the banana on, so I'm sure there's a little bit of moisture when he does it. Who knows?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, but this cuts.

[Will Compton]

But I'm just letting you know, intake, that's the brand. It is a game changer.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Okay. All right. Good to know.

That might have to be my shot. I know for sure.

[Mark Norman]

Hey, Taylor.

[Mark Norman]

We got it. We got it.

[Will Compton]

Here we go.

[Mark Norman]

He blew it.

[Will Compton]

So my shadow bow free shot this week is going to be intake magnetic bands on your nose. I'm telling you and everybody listening. Parent life, it doesn't matter. This is a game changer. I. I swear to God. I think they're. It's supposed to help two people with deviated septums because the tape doesn't necessarily work like the tape brands out there, but the magnetic one, bro, it's like this fixed hard material, so it expands out your nostrils and it has all these different levels for your nose. So if you want to. If you want a massive one, if you want a smaller one, if you have a little petite nose. I don't know if anybody on the bus has a petite nose.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Maybe Sher Shem got a cute little ass.

[Will Compton]

He's got a cute little button nose. Come on.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Come on now.

[Will Compton]

But, yeah. Intake. Good shout out. Intake.

Yeah, Good.

[Mark Norman]

Shout out. Honey.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Honey, I got my shout out. No. Free shout out is gonna go. Free shout out my shout out. No, Bow shout my shout out. Bo for shout out goes to deep laughter on the microphone while playing online with the voice. When you. When this someone just says something or we just. It's late at night and you just get the giggles and everyone just kind of laughing and it's quiet for a little bit. And then someone's laughter starts. More laughter for everybody else.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

There's really not an endorphin spike like anything else. Yeah, it is. It is amazing. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Okay. Talk to him, Mitch.

[Mark Norman]

[Will Compton]

Free shout out is my shout out.

[Mark Norman]

Bo.

[Will Compton]

Free shout out is getting up really.

[Mark Norman]

Early and like knocking out a workout or doing whatever you need to do.

[Will Compton]

And then like getting to work early.

[Mark Norman]

And then just knocking some out and then you feel like, okay.

[Will Compton]

That was a productive morning.

[Mark Norman]

I got up at 6:15 this morning. I ran a mile and a half. I signed up for a 5k on set last Saturday for this coming Saturday. Not realizing that we travel all week so I'm not going to be able to run for the rest of the week. But like, yeah, I have this triathlon coming up. So I ran this morning. Got to work at like 7:30, knocked some out here and I was like this was a productive ass morning. Like this felt good. I'm. I'm a bit tired but I got a coffee and it felt really good this morning.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You're sleeping a baby tonight too.

[Mark Norman]

Oh yeah.

[Will Compton]

You got that run in so you could eat this. Shout out Bofree. Shout out Ashton Hall. He's changing lives.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Changing lives.

[Will Compton]

Gotta get him on bojang.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Can I say something about this biscuit real quick? That bite you take after minutes after. I still have the flavor of the biscuit while also having a little bit of that heat from the Cajun filet chicken 4.5.

[Will Compton]

It's a good biscuit. It's a good soft biscuit. A.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It's a good biscuit. Next time I'm gonna have it with the honey though. I gotta do it with the honey next time. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

I don't know if this is breaking any rules, but I have two shout.

[Mark Norman]

Out Beau free shout outs.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Go ahead.

[Mark Norman]

First one is a personal selfish shout out Bed free shout out. I heard tell that flag football season is starting today for a particular person on the bus.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Wow.

[Mark Norman]

Mitch Carsley. We've been talking about the fly football, goat bus sash, Mitch, Mitch, all the different forms of Mitch.

[Will Compton]

But I think my favorite form of.

[Mark Norman]

Mitch is flag football. Mitch. I'm really excited for the content that comes from that this year. Got some new stuff. Got some new stuff lined up this year. And the back of the bus pod is going to be a perfect place for us to really deep dive into the flag football stuff. So I'm excited for that as well. And then we're selfishly the shout out beautifree shout out.

[Will Compton]

I went to go pick up a pizza this weekend.

[Mark Norman]

Pizza wasn't ready. So I parked the car and I just sat there in the parking lot.

[Will Compton]

The sound of rain when you're in.

[Mark Norman]

A parked car and there's no wipers going and it's just a DDDDDDD on the top of the car.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Love that dude. Green on a tin roof too. Solid.

[Will Compton]

Good shout out. My shout out, Beau. Free shout out goes to good customer service. And I mentioned Noco earlier, but if.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You'Re a restaurant and you are a.

[Will Compton]

Restaurant that takes reservations, I cannot stress enough how. How much you should add this to your game. From a service industry standard, this should be the standard. The next day, no co you get a phone call from Noco Nashville, and it's one of the managers, whoever it is. Hey, J.P. just want to say thanks again for coming in last night. How was everything? Tell them how it was. All right, man. Thank you so much for coming in to our restaurant and for, you know, your business. We really appreciate it. We'll see you next time. Getting a phone call the next day from a place you already had a great dinner from is like. You feel like you're a part of their. You feel like you're a part of their family.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Damn, that is a nice little nugget.

[Will Compton]

Great touch. Yeah, they were five star.

[Mark Norman]

We got the tomahawk.

[Will Compton]

I swear this is why the tomahawk. Obviously it's like a more expensive thing and then, like, it comes out when it's ready, so you have a little bit of time. And they brought two more like, free appetizers. Like, hey, from the chef. Here's the shrimp. This is on me. Here's these fries. This is on me. And it's like y'all are crushing it. And that is why Adoko is the best restaurant in Nashville. Noco better hook the boy up with a little gift card.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, no doubt. And those fries look crazy to the right of that. What is that? Tomahawk?

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Is that shishito peppers on the side too?

[Will Compton]

Best shishito peppers that you'll ever have.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I love shishito peppers. Shishito peppers. I've been. I've been. I was. I think I went when I first opened up with the boy Chandler. Chandler and your boy nf. Yeah, we all went out to dinner and grabbed. It was. It was fire. That steak is really good. You brought up a thing too that I need to do a better job of, and that's doing Nashville activities in Nashville. Yeah, I just don't like. I got Jason, so I don't really eat out. And then like, my weekends are pretty much like, hey, we do whatever with the kids and then we go to the farmer's market. Like, I'm pretty structured. I gotta Figure out a way to get out of my own head and go to these writers rounds or these other events that are taking place in Nashville that make Nashville Nashville. Because I have people come in all the time. Like, whether it's Arizona or Taylor's family from Cam, they're like, what should we do? We could sit on my couch while Jason cooks something. Like, go get out in the pool. Yeah, yeah, go. Yeah, I. I just kind of like, we do busing, and then I just go home and hang out. I need to find something. I need to find.

[Will Compton]

There's a lot going on.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, there's.

[Will Compton]

Nashville's always city. Would love for you to be out.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. I was at Home Depot twice this weekend.

[Will Compton]

I don't.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I hate bragging. I ain't bragging about being a man, but I bought two axes.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, for what?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Planting, bro. I've been planting my ass off this spring. An axe for gardens, bro.

[Will Compton]

What do you.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, good question, Jack. I'll tell you right now. So when we first moved in, you know, you guys pulled in my house, and the gate opens, and then on the right, there's, like, where the goats and everything are. So there is. Used to be a tree. We took that tree out because the tree died during construction. But under there is a stump, and my wife's like, hey, we need to take this tree. We're going to plant it in this area. As I start to dig, there's too much wood. So I got. I bought axes. I'm about to go ham on mother earth. Yeah, like, two little ones. Like, you're like, no, those are hatchets. Those are hatchets. I bought a 4 pound ax and then an 8 pound ax because I didn't know which one was.

[Mark Norman]

Is that what it is?

[Ryan Seacrest]

No, because it's underground, so it's like it's a root system because it's not, like, above ground. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Stationary cam. Video yourself chopping wood. Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Shirt off.

[Will Compton]

Testosterone. Twitter will go crazy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, I might have to. I might have to because I have been planting my ass off. Boys, we got. We got all our little, like, our garden. We have all the. The garage. We have the lights on and stuff like that. I turn them on in the morning, turn them off at night. We water them. Taylor's all about it, man. We're making a compost station right now.

[Will Compton]

We need. Don't be coming in with a sus swing, though.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No, I gotta swing down. I chopped the tree down last year. I mean, it was about, like. It was like that thick, but a tree nonetheless.

[Will Compton]

Chop Down a plane nonetheless.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, I took that out, dude. Yeah. So anyway, I'm becoming a man. Shout out me, dude. And if you want to look like a man, get yourself some True Classic. Get yourself some True Classic, dude. When I first met Ryan, it was at a blackjack table. We sat there and I just thought to myself, this man looks fantastic. He looks. What's he wearing? Sure enough, it's True Classic. Will Compton makes a little Christmas order. Ryan's a fan of the show Bing bang boom comps it. And now we're a year and a half after that and we're wearing True Classic. Are those True Classic plants? Yes, they are.

[Will Compton]

Yes, they look fantastic. A lot of flexibility, a lot of range in these very loose, comforting snugs. You right. But also you get. You have a lot of range in these pants.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They have a Pima line that is coming out March 20th. It is more elevated, silkier material. 100 Pima cotton, perfect for going out. They have 20 new new styles. And tall this year. I feel like that has a lot to do with me a little bit because they didn't make the 36 length. Now we got the 36 length. These. This shirt, too, for all the tall boys out there. This one has that good drape over the crotch area. You need that sometimes, especially if you're walking a bulge like I am. If you don't want to buy online, they're at Target. There are multiple places in Nashville if that's where you are at. They're known for three things. Perfect fit, feel, and price. No matter what you buy, it's going to have three things. Top to bottoms. It is amazing. Their mantra is look good, feel good.

[Mark Norman]

Wizard was massive in helping me get the white Arabian horse and Red Dead Redemption 2 could not figure it out. He's earned himself on this plaque. It is. It wipes Away. Very easy, wizard. So that's a good lesson for life. That's a good lesson for life.

[Will Compton]

Up.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You're great right now. Let's continue to be great, Wizard. Yeah, dude.

[Will Compton]

Love it.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's it.

[Will Compton]

Should we dive into Mark Norman?

[Ryan Seacrest]

What a show.

[Will Compton]

Do they need to do their masters dinner?

[Mark Norman]

Oh, yeah, Master's dinner. I mean, we can do that outside of the pot.

[Will Compton]

Now, when you say master's dinner. Now, do we have, like, a menu to work off of the menu, or this is just.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It's the previous winner.

[Mark Norman]

Every year sets the menu for the master's dinner before.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So what is it gonna be on Wednesday night?

[Will Compton]

Yeah, it's Scotty Shepherd.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So it sounds like, like a last meal. Like if you're on death row.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Like, you're gonna have three courses, and you basically, you can choose whatever you choose. Like your favorite hometown restaurant. Locator it in.

[Will Compton]

You have, like, your mom's favorite, you.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Know, green bean casserole. Whatever. I'm ready to go right now. So whenever you're ready, structure it. Do like an appetizer, main course, dessert.

[Will Compton]

Scotty's for this year.

[Ryan Seacrest]

All right, let's read off Scotty's. There should be a photo of it.

[Mark Norman]

If you just go to am.

[Will Compton]

He switched it up from his previous one. I would sabotage. I feel like if you're in Scotty's, I would sabotage.

[Mark Norman]

If you're in Scotty's shoes, you've won before.

[Will Compton]

Run the same exact dinner back.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Right.

[Mark Norman]

But he.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He added. He has cheeseburger, sliders, firecracker shrimp, papa chef's meatball, and ravioli bites. Texas style chili.

[Will Compton]

You know I look nice.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Little bit.

[Will Compton]

Some peanut butter.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You got a wood fired cowboy ribeye or blackened redfish, warm chocolate chip cookies, skillet cookie. That is pretty okay at best. That's a.

[Will Compton]

That's a Texan meal. That's Texas cookie with ice cream.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Honestly, no, no, no, no. That dessert, that's elite. That's the best thing on there, though, though.

[Will Compton]

Oh, you're saying the whole menu?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, I think it's a solid little menu.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

What you not like on it? Except that first off, I think cheeseburger sliders always sound better than they actually are.

[Mark Norman]

It's a little starter, though.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, it's a little starter. It's fine. But it's like, even if it is good, it's like this bite's not going very far for me. I need. I need to. I need food.

[Will Compton]

You want to hear what happen? That's why you look down the rest.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Of what happens, cowboy ribeye, toasted ravioli.

[Will Compton]

Pizza rolls and Rocky Mountain oysters.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Okay.

[Will Compton]

And then for the little, the little soup dish, I love the chili vibe. You're gonna have chili with little half cut sandwiches of peanut butter. Peanut butter sandwiches. Main course is going to be CB Joe's barbecue pizza. CB Joe's is now out of business. But growing up in high school, if I could bring something back to life, it's CB Joe's barbecue pizza. That's the main course. And for dessert, I'm gonna go with the blondie from Applebee's.

[Ryan Seacrest]

The blondie is a white chocolate chip cookie with ice cream on top.

[Will Compton]

Like a white chocolate chip brownie coming out on a hot sizzling skillet with ice cream on top. And it is incredible.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Okay. It feels like a tear talk. Should we all give one word? Go ahead. Missouri.

[Will Compton]

Will authenticate. Scrumptious mid.

[Mark Norman]

No one hurt oysters.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I did love the, the blondie. It's not my favorite version of the skillet dessert combo, but I do like the idea of a hot plate with some sort of dough on the bottom followed by an ice cream on top.

[Will Compton]

I love that Survivor won the Masters. People are eating off my menu. I think that they would get a nice, nice taste of Willy C. Yeah, for sure.

[Ryan Seacrest]

If I, if I ever won the Masters, I want people to come back that next year and I want them to have the best meal of their entire life. So the app, the appetizer we're going to start with is zips, medium golden wings, extra crispy, extra saucy. There will be a note on that thing saying no blue cheese allowed. There will only be ranch available to everybody. There will also be plenty of celery and carrots on the side and a lot of wet naps. Now when I get down to my main course, you'll have multiple options, but you're going to get both. Both. You're gonna get a Monaco focaccia from zips with half and half onion rings and french fries. And also you're get yourself a nice tomahawk. I think a tomahawk you're gonna have the bone in. It's not going to be cut up for. You have to work through it because there's some class there. But also you're probably gonna have a couple bites that tom. I'm like, this is pretty damn good. But then you're get to that for costume. Like, holy, dude. I, I don't, I know I shouldn't eat this, but I'm gonna do it anyway.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

The steak will also have a mound of spicy pimento cheese next to it and then a cup of chimichurri sauce as well. Because everybody who goes into a steak place wants to get the sauce, but at one point in their life they were told, when you go to a nice steakhouse, you don't ask for the sauce because it insults the chef. Because their steak is supposed to be a certain way. Not here. You're already getting sides with that. My dessert is going to be similar, but it is going to be a chocolate chip cookie skillet with not one, not two, but three scoops of vanilla ice cream on top. That's my master's dinner.

[Will Compton]

Solid dialed meaty.

[Mark Norman]

Zips.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

All hyphenated. Sign me up.

[Will Compton]

Food baby.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Food baby is a good one.

[Will Compton]

I'm gonna have to carry in some Dairy Queen. Just blizzards on deck. People walk out your flavor.

[Ryan Seacrest]

A bunch of mitches walk out of your dairy like it's all right. The nose Dairy Queen truck there waiting. Everyone just tipping over. Blizzards. There you go.

[Mark Norman]

A super slept on. Master center was Hideki Matsuyamas.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, I got the menu pulled up.

[Mark Norman]

There for you guys.

[Will Compton]

Some apps. He had assorted sushi sashimi and nigiri chicken skewers. What is that? Dashi broth.

[Mark Norman]

It's like a miso soup.

[Will Compton]

Dashi fish. Okay. Some A5 Wagyu beef ribeye with mixed mushrooms and vegetables. Some sancho decon ponzu fluffy sponge cake with whipped cream and amal strawberries. Amal.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, we'll say that.

[Will Compton]

Served in honor of Mr. Hideki Matsuyami. Seems pretty average.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, it didn't.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, basic.

[Ryan Seacrest]

If I was to add anything to my dinner, I was so average. I would add New England clam chowder. And I would also. There was one other thing when you were talking. Oh, shishito peppers. I would add shishito peppers.

[Will Compton]

It was funny to watch Will read that menu and then pause and chuckle even though just a second ago he said chili with half sliced peanut butter right next to it. This pizza place that actually closed down. But that's all right. Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, that shit's all right. Yeah. That is funny.

[Will Compton]

That's probably the first ever non like American food they've had at a master dinner. Shout out Japan.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Pissed off.

[Will Compton]

Hey. Hey. Good to be here in the bus. I feel like Rosa Parks in here.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You're in front. You're actually in the middle.

[Mark Norman]

Okay.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Okay. Yeah, yeah. You'll be all right.

[Mark Norman]

All right. Don't Blackville tend to like the back?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. The cool kids in middle school, always at the back.

[Mark Norman]

They always went to the back when I was a kid there.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Was there ever. Were you a big bus guy going to school?

[Mark Norman]

I did it a couple times. I went to public school till, like, fifth grade and that. Then it ended.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You had A private school after that.

[Mark Norman]

My parents made me. They're like, you're slacking off. You gotta. You need some discipline. So they brought me to Catholic school.

[Ryan Seacrest]

How was that?

[Mark Norman]

It sucked. But the Catholic school kids are way more up. The drugs were out of control, the girls were whores and a half. So we had.

[Will Compton]

How long did you go to Catholic, like private Catholic school?

[Mark Norman]

Just four years. Just did the high school.

[Will Compton]

Oh, you did it through high school?

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Did you have to?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Those are the four years of your life. Your childhood uniform until fourth grade. And then you went to public school after that?

[Will Compton]

I went to public school after that.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So you guys kind of flipped because you went fifth grade and then you went to Catholic school.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, I'm sorry, eighth grade and then high school. Wait, where are you from?

[Will Compton]

Missouri.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, interesting.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, Bonter, Missouri. St. Joseph Catholic School.

[Mark Norman]

Did you get diddled?

[Will Compton]

Did not get diddled.

[Mark Norman]

Come on, you're a hunky guy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's simple. I think as an insult.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You see a bunch of other kids walking in there, it's like, yeah, what's wrong with me?

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, too much, you know, it was that too much fast. You could get a good runaway quick back then. Yeah, you're still quick.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

But the fat kids, they got.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Isn't it. Isn't it interesting the public school and the private school dynamic with like, you're talking about girls being the way they are. The drugs.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I was up in a small town school for my first three years of high school. And then I went down to Scottsdale, Arizona to a different high school. But there was a lot of money there. And so up in Cave Creek, it was like, we're gonna do weed. Everyone just did weed. And every once in a while a kid would find their mom's oxy.

[Mark Norman]

Sure.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And that was kind of it. But then you get down to like Paradise Valley. Like all the kids were running pills.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Harder drugs. It was very. It was like crazy how. Just a 30 minute drive. How different. Everyone's like, ideas were, you get that.

[Mark Norman]

Crunchy weed crew and then you go down there and it's just blow and pills. Yeah, that's fun. But boy, you must have, I think the hottest women in. In America in Arizona.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, it is.

[Will Compton]

You find them, you find them. Working in a Target, I'm working at a cvs and you're just like, yeah, what's going on here?

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, I think it's because it's so hot. So you can't. You gotta. You got to be in a bikini all the Time. Yeah, yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

There's not that Midwest. You just kind of, like, put a couple on for the winter. Yeah, I'm gonna. Yeah, you know, you gotta bundle up. It's gonna get cold outside.

[Mark Norman]

Exactly. You see. You ever go to Buffalo? These. The women have the Buffalo Bills, pajama pants on and a scowl. You know, they're real bummed out up there. It's like, give me in a pool with a beer and. Yeah, it's a good time.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Go ahead.

[Will Compton]

I was just gonna say, where'd you grow up? Did you go down to Catholic school? Was it New Orleans?

[Mark Norman]

New Orleans, baby, born and raised.

[Will Compton]

Did you guys have to ro uniforms?

[Mark Norman]

We did, yeah. It sucked. Tie, the whole thing. Black shoes, gray pants, white button down.

[Will Compton]

Do you have, like, a fond outlook on your high school days?

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, I guess I. I had. I had a couple moments. I banged a prostitute who was 50 when I was, like, a junior in Cal. I mean, high school. And I was the king of school for a while. No, I guess it's. I'm a survivor of assault, but no one cares.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And a couple of STDs probably got. Got through unscathed.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, I bought. What do you call it? Wrapped up.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, yeah?

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

She was a prostitute at the place.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. Yeah. 50 years old. Was that something your ID?

[Mark Norman]

Well, she was weathered. She looked like this bus. I mean, she was. She'd seen a few winters.

[Will Compton]

Was that something the boys kind of talked you into?

[Mark Norman]

No, it was a crazy story. It was a New Year's Eve eve, so the day before the millennium. 2000. So it was 1999, so there was Y2K in the air. There was a buzz, so everybody thought the world was going to end. I'm walking down Bourbon street with my high school buddies. There's a woman flashing on the balcony. I'm just staring at her. It's pre Internet porn. And she goes, you want to come up? And it was just that easy. And she came down. We couldn't get in the hotel. They wouldn't let us in. She came down. She goes, you kids want to come up and throw some beads? And I just go, fuck it. And I go, I don't want to go to 2000 a virgin. And she goes, well, I won't let you. True story.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No shit.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. So I went up to her hotel, and her husband was there, her pimp or whoever. And he goes, which one is it? And she pointed to me, and he took my two friends on the balcony and I banged her.

[Will Compton]

How were you nervous?

[Mark Norman]

I was terrified. I Mean, Yeah, she's an old bag pointing at you.

[Will Compton]

You guys leave the room, you're sitting there like, fuck, am I going to be able to operate right now?

[Mark Norman]

100.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I mean, I feel like when you're a junior in high school, you're. Yeah, there's not going to be a problem getting that up at all.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. And I remember she said, you have a condom? And I pulled a condom from my wallet. It was like from the Reagan era, you know, it was all stretchy and brown. And she opened a drawer and she had like, dildos, vibrators, lube. And so. Yeah, and then my friends were on the balcony. They just closed the doors and they hung out out there.

[Ryan Seacrest]

What did your friends talk about what they were doing with the husband?

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, they were drinking. They had a cooler out there. So they're drinking, throwing beads off the balcony as you do. And you know, 20 seconds later I said, hey, I'm done.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And after it was done, she's like, okay, that'll be like 150 bucks.

[Mark Norman]

No, I think she had a thing for teenagers because she was like, give me your number, let's do this again. Because I don't. I don't think the old guy could get it up. That was me, a little skateboarding deviant.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So a 50 year old woman took that down.

[Mark Norman]

Yes. Yes. I really had pubes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That is wild. New Orleans is a crazy place.

[Mark Norman]

Crazy place. A weird place to grow up because it skews your whole perception of life. And then I moved to New York and I was like, what's all this? You know?

[Will Compton]

Yeah, we went down there for the Super Bowl. Oh, Taylor was hyping it up big time.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, I'm a big fan.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, we ate some bad oysters. It was kind of a tough week. A week ago, I'll walk away and I'm just like, what do people love about New Orleans?

[Mark Norman]

Netherlands.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, different.

[Mark Norman]

Different time.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I was telling Will before I was like, hey, man, like, you're gonna go down there. The culture's so different. Like, there's the Cajun. Everyone's just kind of like in their own world. It's like a third world country. Yeah, but you're still in the United States. It's like a lot of fun.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. You can drink outside. The food's weird.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Everyone's kind of about it. Like, everyone just. It just. It's like a cool, fun time.

[Mark Norman]

Yes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

We get there, we go to Acme Oyster House, and the first, like, the next day he's on the toilet. Our boy G's on the toilet. Then I get put on the toilet. So, like. Like, it's one of those weeks where you hype something up to your boys, and then at the end of the week, it's like, there's no way I'm ever gonna get them to go back.

[Mark Norman]

Right.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And, like, make it right again.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, but that I feel you went during the Super Bowl. That's a different thing. You gotta go. Just a normal Tuesday.

[Will Compton]

Where do you rank New Orleans as a city now that you've been everywhere?

[Mark Norman]

Well, I mean, it's wildly corrupt, and we got horrible infrastructure, and the. The Pelicans are gonna shut down. They're so bad. But as a city, it's just great. It's a jewel of the South. I mean, we got got, you know, the. The Bourbon Street. We got Mardi Gras, we got Jazz Fest. The food, the gumbo, crawfish. So I put it way up. But not a good comedy.

[Will Compton]

You know, as a.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Not a great comedy.

[Will Compton]

You know, as a high schooler, too. Like, just Mardi Gras coming in.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, forget about it. Yeah, we got two weeks off of school for Mardi Gras. That's how crazy that city is.

[Will Compton]

No, Two weeks.

[Mark Norman]

So you just go to parades every night and try to get fingered.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Try to get finger.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, sorry. Freudian.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Dude, were you. Were you, like, in New Orleans? In New Orleans or you in the city?

[Mark Norman]

I got a crazy. I don't know anything about sports. I'm sorry you didn't play ball growing up. I mean, I played Little League.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. And Frisbee skateboarding, but, yeah. I grew up in a. In a dilapidated mansion in a black neighborhood, and everyone thought we were rich because we had this mansion, but it was just like, a piece of shit house. If you want to look it up, it's the dufour Baldwin House, 1707 Esplanade Avenue. And we got robbed all the time. And people would break in and be like, you gotta get your together, you know, like, you guys, this is horrible. Yeah, that was our house. It was like, a real fixer upper, and my dad bought it. It goes back and back, and everybody thought we were loaded, but we had no money.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. So we turned up just getting robbed.

[Will Compton]

Nothing to take.

[Mark Norman]

Nothing to take. We turned into a bed and breakfast because we. My dad ran out of income, so he needed more money.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I mean, it looks nice from the outside. I would rob you.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

If I was in that business that probably one of the first houses, I.

[Mark Norman]

Would stop at half the houses or half the rooms. Didn't have electricity. We had running water and, like, only a certain part of the house. It was crazy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No way.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. I had a couple, obviously had a bunch of teammates that, like, were from, like, Baton Rouge or New Orleans. And, like, they'd always talk about, like, the Ninth Ward.

[Mark Norman]

Yes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And the Ninth Ward is like, the hardest area of New Orleans. Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

Terrifying.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Is it like the. Would you say, like, the Ninth Ward's the number one, like, most tough spot?

[Mark Norman]

Yes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

There's like. How many wards are there? Thirteen?

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. Something like that.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I've done my homework.

[Mark Norman]

It is. That's a tough area. And Katrina, that's where that really got during Katrina, so.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Really?

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. A lot of the poor people who lived in that area moved to, like, Biloxi or Texas.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And what made you go to New York? So you're. You're in New Orleans.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You just lost your Virginia to a 50 year old right before 2000, right before the world was about to come to an end.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You graduate high school and you just go up north.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, I wanted to be a comedian. And there's no clubs there. There's no. People don't care about comedy there. They want to get drunk. They don't want to hear your thoughts on cereal, you know, and so you got to go to New York or la. So I went to New York.

[Will Compton]

You wanted to be a comic for. Since when?

[Mark Norman]

I think, you know, as a. In college, I did some open mics just because I. I had nothing going on. I was a loser. I lived in a house with five guys. We'd play beer pong and poker, and we try to get laid. And that was my whole life. I failed out of three colleges. So eventually I found colleges. Yeah?

[Will Compton]

Which three?

[Mark Norman]

Lsu, Uno and Southeastern.

[Ryan Seacrest]

How do you fail out of lsu?

[Mark Norman]

That's a good school, actually. I mean, I just didn't do any work and didn't go to class, so it wasn't that hard. But, yeah, I finished online eventually because my parents made me.

[Will Compton]

And you're just like, I'm just gonna take a stab at this comedy game.

[Mark Norman]

Take a step. My. I had so little going on and my parents, like, do something. You're depressing us. You're a disgrace.

[Will Compton]

You're a disappointment.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, so I became a janitor in New York and did comedy at night.

[Will Compton]

A janitor?

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. Great gig, by the way.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. I mean, you got headphones in, you're mopping. It's very Zen.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Were you ever was like, a janitor at a school?

[Mark Norman]

No, I had, like, A high rise, like a skyscraper.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Okay. Mathematic equations on the board. You're just seeing.

[Mark Norman]

I was doing that with dick jokes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

On the wall.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You see a dick on the wall and be like, how did this dick get here? Write a little joke about that dick.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. I wanted a job where you'd have to think so you could just think about comedy. I did. I did furniture moving. Busboy. Like that.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So you do a couple open mics and it starts to consume you.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You're like.

[Mark Norman]

You love it completely. Especially when you have nothing going on. You're like, this is something. This. Yeah, I'm getting something out of this. I'm meeting people. I'm getting laughs. It. I'll go for it. It's kind of a blessing sometimes to have nothing. Like, to fall like your back's against the cliff.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

You just gotta go for.

[Will Compton]

For it, dude. A janitor.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Fascinated by that move.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, I mean, that is. You just try to put money in your pocket until you're able to make it. We are going to interrupt this episode to bring you dude wipes Shout out. Sherm. I think there's a reason why Dude Wipes jumped on with us as you pooped your pants. Are you fumbling the ball when it comes to getting confident? Clean back in your end zone, make the right play, call an audible and switch from dry toilet paper to wet extra large dude wipes. Why? Well, it's simple. Wetter just cleans better. Dude wipes are wet and large, so they're clear and never smear your rear. So when you got to go number two to be sure to bring the number one product and clean dude wipes the goat of cleaning your keister. Available on Amazon and at Walmart nationwide. Dude Wipes best clean pants down. Let's get back to the episode.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

How long were you a Jenner before, like, okay, comedy started becoming a real thing for you?

[Mark Norman]

I jumped around from job to job, but I was a janitor for probably about two or three years. And then I started opening for Amy Schumer at the time, and she was, like, blowing up. So I just got lucky. And then she took me on the road and I got to quit the janitor job and go for it.

[Ryan Seacrest]

How does the process work about becoming an opener for somebody? Like, you have to have the relationship or you have an agent that's like, hey, try this guy out.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, I was super lucky. All these agents and, man, they don't do, you know, other comics are the ones that help you. And I did a Set at a comedy club. She happened to be headlining it. She saw me, she was like, hey, that's pretty funny. We got to know each other. And then she said, I'm doing this gig in Long Island. I said, great. We hit it off, and there you go.

[Will Compton]

What was it like? Like, working with Amy? I feel like she gets some weird hate at times.

[Mark Norman]

She does? Yeah. Well, this is before everything was weird. Everything's, like, political now and divisive and this and that. It was before all that, you just had fun and told jokes and got laughs and she was awesome. She was super helpful. And I watched her blow up. I watched her go from, like, clubs to theaters to arenas.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. And becoming a mom.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. All that movies.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. She wish she did do the movie thing too. That. That is wild now. How long. How long did you open for her?

[Mark Norman]

A while. I'd say, like six years.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So you started going to theaters with her?

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, and I was a. I was a green open micr, so that was all new to me too, so I had to learn how to do that shit as well.

[Ryan Seacrest]

What is it like? Is there. What's the difference for you when you're working a small room, like a small little comedy club compared to a theater? Theater, like, is it much, much more intimate when you're in the small club?

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. I say a small club is like a fist fight, like a bar fight, and a theater is like a sanctioned boxing match. You know, we got, like, rules and regulations and there's money involved. But a comedy club, it's like a knife fight. You're just trying to survive. These drunks are yelling at you.

[Will Compton]

And didn't you have recently somebody, like, come on stage? Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

Well, that was a hoax.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Was it really?

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Okay.

[Mark Norman]

I feel guilty about it, but some guy was like, I want to go viral. And I was like, I'm not the guy. Because he's like, comedy's blowing up. I want to go viral. And I said, I'm not the guy. And he goes, I'll give you this much money. I said, I'm in.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh.

[Mark Norman]

He set the whole thing up. And it worked. It went viral because it did go.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Crazy for a minute. And so this is all. This is all planned out gig. You were never nervous at all?

[Mark Norman]

No, no, I was like, I didn't know what was gonna happen. He just said, something crazy gonna happen. Just play off of it. That's all I knew. And then this guy walks on stage. And the brilliance of it was it. We left it to the unknown, like, no one, nothing Was explained. So then the Internet starts trying to figure it out. Then it turns into some JFK thing. We're like, this happened and that happened.

[Ryan Seacrest]

There's multiple shooters. The CIA was in on it.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, exactly.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That is. Yeah. How much did he pay you?

[Mark Norman]

It was a. It was a hefty sum.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Really?

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's enough for you to compromise your morals.

[Mark Norman]

Yes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

For you to say, hey, I'll go the opposite direction of what I want.

[Mark Norman]

And I got some hate. I got a lot of hate on. On the Internet. Like, oh, you are. You are a fan of yours now. You're selling out for money, you hack, and all that. But that blows over.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. She's trying to get a nice little laugh. Leave it up for mystery. Yeah, I saw it in my. Oh, like, this seems like a real thing that's going down. That's happening.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, they nailed it.

[Will Compton]

Have you ever had guys that come up and kind of interrupt your set and it gets a little.

[Mark Norman]

All the time. All the time. No one respects comedy. Like, no one's walking on stage at Glengarry Glenn Ross, you know, so, like, people come up there, people throw bottles at you, especially in the early days, because you're a nobody. And. Yeah, I get it. Like, some guy works at a mill, he comes out to the Funny Bone in Toledo, and you're not killing. And he's like, I paid for this. I paid for some dweeb to talk on stage while drinking a beer. And I'm not laughing, this guy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, but the process of, like, throwing a bottle, it's. You're making it sound like it's a scene from the Blues Brothers. And they play, like, the. The old Western Saloon.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It's like, what. At what point do you just go, oh, this is not a good show. This is not for me, and just walk away. Instead of throwing bottles at people.

[Will Compton]

People and making the. And making the comic, like. I'm sure they just feel shitty that you have such a strong opinion. It's like, then you kind of can't get in your creative anymore. You're just like. I kind of feel like. I feel guilty. I feel like a loser right now. This guy's so mad at me.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. And if you're not laughing, the comic knows you're not laughing and no one's laughing. You think he's up there by himself with a microphone? He's gonna be up there for 20 more minutes.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. I mean, that's the Will Smith thing. It's like with Chris Rock. Like, every comic knew what that Felt like.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. Did you see Will Smith's song? He just dropped.

[Mark Norman]

I heard. I haven't seen.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He just put up. He just put up a video of, like. It's basically a video of him playing a bunch of different characters in a barber shop talking about Will Smith. But it's like a whole. It's like a whole rap. It's actually kind of solid.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, really?

[Ryan Seacrest]

It's kind of solid. It's creative is what it is.

[Mark Norman]

He needs a win.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He needs a win. He's in a bad spot.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Because he's kind of. Ever since that Chris Rock thing, like, what. What's he been doing?

[Mark Norman]

He did one movie that flopped. It was like a slave movie, which is weird because, you know, he's used to getting backlash. But. Sorry, that was right there. But, yeah, that flopped. And then after that, I mean, it's one of those things just change your whole trajectory. It's like Alec Baldwin shooting a lady. You know, your life is one way, and then one day later, it's completely different. Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I can't. I can't understand the way what went through his head to make that decision. Everything's going your way. You win an Academy Award that. You win an Oscar, right? It was Oscar. He wins some sort of massive award.

[Mark Norman]

He did.

[Ryan Seacrest]

At night.

[Mark Norman]

He did.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And so, you know, he's on the top of the world still. He's been doing it for decades.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And Chris Rock makes a GI Jane joke. And he's come out massively on top from that.

[Mark Norman]

Yes. He's cleaning.

[Will Compton]

You take it to the chin. It's like the Internet's being like, is this staged?

[Mark Norman]

Right.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I thought it was. Did they crush his slap? Like, seems so, like, mechanical. Yes, it did seem fake to me.

[Mark Norman]

It was like a medieval thing. Like, how dare you with a. With a glove?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Like, he's been acting his whole life. He doesn't know how a real slap should even look.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. And Chris Rock hand. I mean, I would have been like, what the. Jesus Christ. He was just like, okay. That was weird.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

We're at the Oscars right now.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Even that stance right there, it looks like that's choreographed.

[Mark Norman]

It totally does.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Like this. It's, like, perfectly done. Yeah. Chris Rock handled that like a gangster. You wouldn't do that. You think?

[Mark Norman]

No, I mean, swing.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You think?

[Mark Norman]

Well, I don't know.

[Will Compton]

First of all, he might be on the ground.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, yeah. It's true. I might be out. And I might milk it, too. I might go full flagrant, like, ah.

[Will Compton]

Come out the next day. You Got a neck brace on.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. Black guy with the whole thing going. Dude, that is. What is that? What are we looking at there, Sherm?

[Will Compton]

Oh, people. That's got to be AI.

[Mark Norman]

They're saying it might be a patch. May have been faked.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I can see it being fake.

[Mark Norman]

Still interesting.

[Will Compton]

It could be Photoshopped, though.

[Mark Norman]

It could be Photoshopped.

[Ryan Seacrest]

AI, these days, you never know what's going to happen.

[Mark Norman]

New headline. Chris Rock does blackface.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Have you ever been in a fight yourself?

[Mark Norman]

Oh, yeah. I don't know if I've ever won one, but I've been beat up a few times.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, who was it? Were you the antagonist?

[Mark Norman]

No, never. Never. But I got. I got knocked out once and I pissed myself. That's how bad the knockout was.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No, broad daylight.

[Mark Norman]

No, I was at night. It was at a Mardi Gras parade. I was in college, and I was.

[Ryan Seacrest]

With a bunch of dudes.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, it's a crazy time. This kid, one of the things, you know, they throw beads and doubloons and all that and cups, but if you catch a spear, that was like the ultimate get at a Mardi Gras parade. So one kid had a spear, and these fucking tough guys, these other kids were like, hey, give us a spear. And we stepped in. We're like, give the kid the spear. He caught the spear, let him have it. But they wanted the spear. So now they start shit with us, like, you got a problem? And, you know, we're not tough guys. We're like, wait. With a kid? What are you doing? And then before I do it, like out of a movie, one of the guys pushed me. And his. He had a friend on the. On the knees behind me. So I rolled over.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, you got bridged.

[Mark Norman]

I got bridged. Which I didn't know people actually did that. So I'm like, whoa. What the. And I scream like a girl. And then they start just wailing on me. And. Yeah, it was crazy. And my. We all got beat up pretty bad. And then I was gonna say, where's.

[Will Compton]

All the boys at? Like, it seemed like they just kind of identified you. Like, let's whoop this dude's ass.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. Well, I think I was chirping a little bit.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

And. And we all got stomped out. I remember being on the floor, on the cement. I could see my friend getting, like, a Doc Martin on his face, and. But we were okay. And then it ended. The cops came, they ran away, and then we were on a front lawn, like, 20 minutes later. Like, that was crazy, huh? And One lady yells, they're coming back. Or like one of my friends, girlfriends and a guy got a running start and hit me in the temple. And I saw white and I hit the. I hit the dirt. And then I. I pissed myself. But I woke up to all my friends fist fighting above me. It was crazy.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No, some lady just yelling, they're coming back.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

I had a big egg on my head.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And now when you wake up and you see your friends fighting, what's the first thing goes to your head? My pants are wet or. Oh my God, look at this.

[Mark Norman]

It was just. I was woozy, pants are wet. And my girlfriend was like super turned off.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

She was like, look at this. This is the guy I'm with. He's covered in piss and he's on the floor.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

When you're sitting on the lawn. Are the cops there?

[Mark Norman]

Well, the cops had gone at this point.

[Will Compton]

Okay.

[Mark Norman]

So they were just fighting and then.

[Will Compton]

Eventually kind of being like, how crazy is that? And then old buddy comes out of nowhere and just wrecks.

[Mark Norman]

You clocked me. Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You must have said something bad.

[Mark Norman]

I guess so. I don't know, maybe the N word, I can't remember. But yeah, one of the guys was pretty fat, so I went out on that.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. After the low hanging fruit.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Taking them out.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

That's all. You know, back then you're in town.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You were doing Kill Tony.

[Mark Norman]

No, I'm doing. I did the Ryman last night.

[Ryan Seacrest]

The Ryman last night.

[Mark Norman]

Unbelievable. One of these guys was there? Yeah, they were there.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

And that's a hot room. What a, what a crowd. What a show. And. Yeah, it's Killed Tony tonight.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Kill Tony tonight.

[Mark Norman]

Oh yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You guys were at Bob's house last night? Kid Rock's house?

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. He wouldn't let us leave. We were there till 4 in the morning. He kept being like, drink more, hang out, I'll blow you. It's pretty wild. I mean, you just pull up to that white house and it's just. There's a Statue of Liberty. There's the crazy view. Have you guys been there?

[Ryan Seacrest]

No, I've not been there.

[Mark Norman]

Unreal. It's crazy. He's got a full size live giraffe stuff. Not live, but a real giraffe.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. A life size giraffe.

[Mark Norman]

Yes. And it's huge. And like the, the fridge is stocked and there's crazy photos of him with Trump and there's a big grand piano. There's a bunch of like deer heads everywhere. There it is. It's unreal. He calls it the Southern White House.

[Ryan Seacrest]

The Southern White House.

[Mark Norman]

There was some slaves there, I'm sure.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Somewhere in the back. And he's got a Statue of Liberty, too.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So did he just say, when you guys get there first, how do you get the invite?

[Mark Norman]

I was with Tony, so.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And Tony's like, we're going.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. And Tony wouldn't tell me. He's like, I got a surprise. So I thought we were going to strip club. Then we show up at Bob's house.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I got a surprise.

[Will Compton]

I'm glad you still made it.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Four in the morning at this age.

[Mark Norman]

I said, no, it wasn't easy. And then I had to get up and do Theo earlier, and that was a little wonky with Theo. Well, you know, Theo is. He's like, ah, my dad's made out of wood. You know, you're like, oh, how do I keep up with that? This. I'm hungover.

[Will Compton]

Made out of wood.

[Ryan Seacrest]

His brain does operate in a crazy way.

[Mark Norman]

Brilliant guy. So quick, so funny. I've known the guy for, you know, he's a Louisiana guy as well, so I watched him do open mics and back in the day.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, the. The. He is a very interesting human. It's crazy. He did real. Was it Road Rules?

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Real world road Rules, Right.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, just to go from the reality game to that. And you kind of see it in the Road Rules, too. Like, he kind of had that personality, but he's honed himself in a nice, fine tool. He's massive now. This show's huge.

[Mark Norman]

Huge.

[Will Compton]

I mean, I feel like it's transitioned a little bit and though, you know, I know I'm just saying this name. But the Rogan World, where he's sitting down with all these different people, not just comedians anymore.

[Mark Norman]

I mean, Trump, J.D. van, Bernie Sanders, Dana White, Timothy Chalamet. Like, he's. He's in the mix.

[Ryan Seacrest]

God, what's that? I love Timothy Shalame.

[Mark Norman]

He's a good actor. And he's banging the hell out of Kylie.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

Kylie Jenner, which is a crazy twist.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, I know that's a wild twist for him to be with her, but I saw him on college game day, and I just thought the way he operated from, like, understanding sports and he sounded like he was an analyst. I'm like, this guy really, truly takes everything.

[Will Compton]

I saw that serious.

[Mark Norman]

I saw that. That was because you think of him as, like, a little twink.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

That guy. He's like a real dude.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, he's a dude's dude, he was.

[Will Compton]

Somewhere too, with Cali. I don't know if it was like a tennis match or something where she's like, in his ear and everybody's talking like, this guy's all ball. He's a ball guy. Because she's like trying to whisper, give him a kiss, and he's like focusing on the game.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Game.

[Will Compton]

No, Seems like he's about. He's about sports.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, I love that. Imagine that broad is feeling you up and you're like, hang on, we're trying to watch the ball game here. And she used to. She was banging Tyga or what it was the guy's name.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I mean, the confidence for Timothy to walk into to that inventory.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Look around. Be like, okay, this is where these guys have been before. He's got to have a piece.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, he's got it. He's tall, skinny guy. Those guys are always.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, but you come at that. That.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. Jesus Christ.

[Will Compton]

I mean, that is an expectation in the bedroom that you might not be able to live up.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. I feel like there's that conversation before you open the door. But I listen, I understand what's happened in the past. I want you to know I'm a giver. I'm a lover.

[Mark Norman]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

And I will say I'm very excited right now, but again, 20 seconds. It's probably gonna be all right.

[Ryan Seacrest]

We'll get the first one out of the way. Let's get the jitters out of the way. Get that first hit done happens, you just whisper.

[Will Compton]

I'm sorry.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, I'll do better next time.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, sorry about that.

[Mark Norman]

But he really gentrified that vagina us. So good for him. I'm sure he's doing a lot of oral. You know, we've all done that pregame. Exactly.

[Ryan Seacrest]

15, 15, 30 technique you got.

[Mark Norman]

You're a 7 foot 18 guy. You got to be slinging a. A torpedo back.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He's.

[Will Compton]

He's got a solid little.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You know, it's got. It's gotten better since I've lost weight because I've. I've lost 60 pounds. So I don't know if I can just see it more.

[Mark Norman]

Right.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Or I just like, now, like. Okay. There's not as much of that foop.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, the. The foop up.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. But I was an offensive lineman, and I think. Offensive lineman, if you're looking at the chart of pieces, we're down here.

[Mark Norman]

Of course.

[Ryan Seacrest]

We hang down here. We're that little bird nest.

[Mark Norman]

Right.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It just kind of sits right on top of the balls that's kind of. That's kind of our game plan.

[Mark Norman]

I get it. I'm. I'm a turtle in a bush over here.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I mean, that's what we. Look, you can see there's not even a dent there. Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. Well, you got some a cup on, I assume.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Nope, no cup. Ah, I know. And I hated that you even said the cup thing.

[Mark Norman]

Damn it.

[Ryan Seacrest]

We got going here.

[Mark Norman]

I think it's a labia.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's probably it right there. That's it.

[Mark Norman]

All right. That's something. But you're also in. In game mode. You got the adrenaline pumping. Your dick goes in with a fight.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I've had that happen. I've had that happen. You kind of do have to do the adjust.

[Mark Norman]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

Anytime you come out of practice or a game, it is pretty hidden.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

You're wearing the compression shorts.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. The compression shorts do definitely play an interesting game with you.

[Mark Norman]

What do you do in the locker room? It's got to be just meat hammers hanging all day long.

[Will Compton]

For sure.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. I would so intimidated.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

There's a couple. You just learn to appreciate it. You see in the locker room. And you're like, well, okay, that's beautiful. It's. It's one of those things.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Like I. I've talked about on the pod before, but one of my nicknames in Washington was scrimp.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, man.

[Will Compton]

So those are always like tough battles and vulnerabilities to go through. I know.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

But you learn to love yourself.

[Mark Norman]

There you go.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

And that. That hammer could really ruin a lady.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So that's an illusion. Those pants. Those are dark pants. Yeah. Dark pants are taken away from Compton living.

[Will Compton]

Sherman white. You keep just zooming in.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Sherman's in heaven right now.

[Mark Norman]

He's hard.

[Will Compton]

Sherman's first look at Sherman and crafted some fun questions for you. And I think the first one was like, who somebody you walk into a room with or when you walk into a room, who's somebody where you go, oh, oh, geez.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That reaction right there, that kind of hard hitting question. Yeah, sure. Theo had similar ones.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. Ben Laden, like, holy. Thought you died. I met Larry David about a couple weeks ago and he's like a huge hero of mine and that I was. I couldn't think of anything. I was off. I was frazzled. And he's also a tough dude. Like, he doesn't give you anything. He's. He's very cynical.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

You know, so that was scary. But glad to meet him.

[Will Compton]

Who are some other guys that you've been like, starstruck around now that you've kind of leveled up in the, in the comic game.

[Mark Norman]

Well, the weird thing about comedy is like, like, like Nate Bragazzi, world famous. Does Arenas huge name. He's just a normal guy. He's like a sober God fearing family man.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

And that's the cool, like I've met Seinfeld that we hung out and he's just like a dude from Long island who likes baseball and cars. That's cool thing about comics, but you meet an actor, you know, and they're, they're usually like, you meet Daniel Day Lewis. I think that guy's the worst hang on the planet, you know, he's so meta and into it. You're like, shut up. You know? Yeah, exactly.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It almost seemed like guys, guys.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, that's us. We went out to breakfast one day and I was. That was rock hard.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Now. It was a good experience with Seinfeld.

[Mark Norman]

Great. He's the coolest. He's a nice guy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You hear a couple of hate.

[Mark Norman]

He does get a lot of hate. Well, there's some Israel going on. But yeah, he, he can be cutting because he's seen it all. He's a, he's so world famous and I think people yell at him or they, they on his show or whatever. So he's always ready with a, with a zinger.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, he's always got one in the holster.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. So people still kind of get some.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah. Like he's a dick. He's like an.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Like that. Yeah. Heard the same thing about Dane Cook. Have you had a run in with Dane Cook?

[Mark Norman]

I met him once and I had to go on earlier than him at a, at a show. We were at the Comedy Store and I was like, I gotta go on next. I got another spot and then I, he. He was pissed. So I like kissed the ring, you know, I was like, I'm a huge. You're a huge influence on me. I'm a huge fan. You're the man. He was like, all right, all right.

[Will Compton]

He was pissed about you going on earlier.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. Because I had to run out. I had somewhere to be and he didn't. And so I was like, do you mind if I go on earlier? And in comedy that's kind of a, a, it's like an alpha move almost. But I didn't mean it to be an alpha move.

[Will Compton]

Why is it seen as like an alpha move to like go on sooner? Like you, they see it as you're trying to get out of the conversation with them or they.

[Mark Norman]

No, well, we all have our time slot. You get your time. You're going third, you're going fourth. So if you come in there and go, I'm going when I want to go. I'm. I'm big timing everybody.

[Will Compton]

Gotcha.

[Mark Norman]

I'm going on before you. Or whenever people see that as like, oh, you trying to big time me, but I just needed it for the time. It wasn't like I wasn't trying to do anything. I just had to go, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Will Compton]

Guys who come in and they big, they kind of big time.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, yeah. Oh, for sure. I mean, Chappelle walks in and the whole show is his. You know, you just take the night off.

[Will Compton]

Is there, is that, is there like a, a framework too where you're sitting there and Chappelle comes in. It's like, chappelle, let me do whatever he wants.

[Mark Norman]

Totally. And I'm very like, you know what, what's the word? Reverent. You know, I'm like, hey, you're Chappelle. I'm nobody.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You go on.

[Mark Norman]

And hopefully if I ever blow up, up, I can do that to some nerd. You know, that's how it goes. The hierarchy. Like, if you meet, you know, Peyton Manning or Troy, what the Troy Aikman or one of these, you know, let Bob L. Elway, you know, you gotta go, oh, geez, you gotta, you know, you gotta be.

[Will Compton]

Gotta kiss the red about down a little bit.

[Mark Norman]

Gotta bow down. These are legends.

[Mark Norman]

Well, the kid. We just had a kid, and I know you just had.

[Will Compton]

Congratulations, man.

[Mark Norman]

Yes, yes. Appreciate it. It's not mine, but we had a kid, and it's really, like, hunkered us down. Like, we're a team now, and we're working on this kid and trying not to get him on Fentanyl and all that. So, yeah, it's. It's. It's helped, but she's kind of had to take a back seat because she's all mom mode. Mode.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Is that hard? I'm assuming that's like Harford knowing that she's somebody who gets on the mic too. And you have to kind of. You have to kind of sacrifice yourself and your identities to kind of be a. Like a nurturing mother.

[Mark Norman]

100. But as you know, you got the. The kid. Women just go into, like, they go into the zone with a kid. It's just the instincts kick in. They go full maternal. So she's not. She would like to have a life, but the kid is obviously.

[Will Compton]

Isn't it crazy to see and, like, admire with. With your partner, too? Like, when they become a mom and just seeing them take on this role, I love it. It's because you sit back and you're like, I got to catch this flight and go here. And you kind of have this guilt cloud of, like, being out and have. And you do something that's fun, too, so you know how it can come off. But you're like, I have to leave for some work.

[Mark Norman]

And then you get back there with.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You come home, and you talk about, like, man, it was. That was a long trip or whatever, but really just been hanging out with your boys for three days, and it's like, did I really work? Yes. But was I, like, having a good time? It's like, yeah, the cloud thing is a big deal.

[Mark Norman]

You have to fake it. Like, oh, that was a tough one. That flight was horrible.

[Will Compton]

His wife being a couple comic too. Like, stop.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, I know, I know. It went great.

[Mark Norman]

I just show her the check. That's what I do when I, like, I get in the house, I go, here you go. Don't be too mad. We gotta buy formula.

[Ryan Seacrest]

When my wife first got. First got pregnant, we have two kids now. Seven and four year old. But we had. She got pregnant with our first one. It was like a total surprise.

[Mark Norman]

Whoa.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And she was like, she just filmed a documentary in South America for all these animals and stuff like that. That she had like this trajectory of what she wanted to do from a career standpoint.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And then she gets pregnant. She's like, I don't. I don't know if I'm ready to be a mom. She's obviously still gonna have a kid. She ends up having the kid. Like from that day, she's like been full mom, like all like totally 100 bought in. So the maternal thing is crazy. It's real turns on. I feel like it takes a little bit longer. That sweet tailing right there.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, that's great.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I feel like it is. It's a. Harder for the dads at first.

[Mark Norman]

Yes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

When those kids are first born because.

[Mark Norman]

Easy, easy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Well, they take like they have nine months of being in the womb. Harder for us from like a, I guess a connection standpoint because.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

The moms are holding it for nine months. They feel it. Oh, the baby's kicking. I feel that. Then they have the baby. It's like a piece of them is obviously just came out of them.

[Mark Norman]

Right.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And you're like, you're still living.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Like you're. You go and you're with them and you help them as much as you can. But then you have to go to like when I was playing football or we have to go do something for the bus. And then you come back and it's like, okay, now I have to work on this relationship. And then like once they start, like showing emotion. I remember telling you this, like right around that six month mark, they. You walk into a room and they smile at you. That's when it hits you and you're like, God damn, the best. Yeah, it is.

[Will Compton]

How old is yours?

[Mark Norman]

Two and a half months. So it's just warm.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You're still. Yeah. You're still building the foundation. Hey, how are you? How was your day? Talking.

[Mark Norman]

Right. It just started smiling, which thank. I was about to throw it in a garbage compact. You're like, I'm bombing with this kid.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Right.

[Mark Norman]

And yeah. This is me trying to. You're stuck at home for 12 hours. You're like, I gotta work out a little bit.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Squats.

[Mark Norman]

Squats in holding the head.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You got the technique down and everything.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, yeah, that's a hospital issue beanie right there.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No doubt.

[Will Compton]

I haven't watched this special yet, but shows. He just dropped one.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Where.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

He, like, dives into all the. The family life stuff and having the kid and I guess gets vulnerable and talking about these jokes. I'm like, I'm excited to watch it. Just knowing that you have experiences as a father, I feel like watching even Nate Bargazzi like, talk about his just lifestyle, his dynamic of his wife and kids. Kids and just being a family guy. I feel like those. Those comedy sets kind of resonate more since you're going through it.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You hear Bird talk about it. Bert's like, my kids are out of the house now. Like, I don't even know what I'm going to make jokes about. My whole life has been about making jokes about my two kids.

[Mark Norman]

Right.

[Will Compton]

You know, shout out his special. Lucky. Go Watcher's lucky special. Check it out on Netflix now.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Check it out.

[Will Compton]

We lost.

[Ryan Seacrest]

We lost a bet in New Orleans.

[Mark Norman]

What happened?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Well, he was. He. We did his. Something's burning. Burning. Is that what it is? Burning? Yeah, we did that. And he's like, I bench 300 pounds. We're like, oh, yeah. He's like, I got a video. Do you want to see? And he showed us. And he goes up and it starts to come down, and his trainer grabs it, and he's like, pretty cool, huh? I was like, you didn't get 300. That was not 300.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So it was like two months before the Super Bowl. I started at 3:15. Then we're like, all right, 320. Buy Super Bowl. If you get that, we'll promote whatever you want us to promote for the rest of the year. If not, every two Bears, you have to shout out bus one with the boys.

[Mark Norman]

That's great. Great bet.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Great bet. He. But I thought. Thought, there's not a chance in hell we lose that bet. Yeah, he knocked out 320 and then did 325.

[Will Compton]

Holy.

[Mark Norman]

Well, he's on the T. He's on.

[Ryan Seacrest]

The team with a dash of something else. He's got a whole bunch. He's got a cocktail going on.

[Mark Norman]

Right, Right.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Because it is. He's not only beat Red, but he was like. With ease. Yeah, he got it up with ease.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

He's a beast. I mean, for how much he drinks. We've gone on ski trips. The guy can ski. Then he could snowboard. He can run really fast. He's a great swimmer. The guy's an athlete. You see him swing a baseball bat? I mean, he is.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He played college baseball, right?

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, so. And he. But, you know, if RFK saw what he ate, he'd kill himself.

[Will Compton]

But.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, but he. He still pulls out. I mean, the guy, he's got that Mickey Mantle gene.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where you can kind of do everything a little bit.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. And drink like a animal.

[Will Compton]

You a skier? Can you ski? Get on the snowboard?

[Mark Norman]

I'm a snowboard because I skateboarded, so I wanted to stay on a board.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

But, yeah, I love it. We, Ari, and all of us would go out and Burt and Shane went. One year, we'd all get a cabin in Denver and just ski it up and drink every night and make meals drunk and watch movies. It was great.

[Will Compton]

Does Sam ever mix it up with you guys on the. On the competitive side?

[Mark Norman]

Well, these Jews, they don't really get out much. You know, they. He's watching the Knicks and drinking a black coffee, and we love. He's getting me in. We just went to a game last week, so. Yeah, it's fun.

[Will Compton]

What sport do you find yourself kind of gravitating towards since you weren't, like, a sports guy growing up?

[Mark Norman]

Oh, I'm 100% UFC.

[Will Compton]

Okay.

[Mark Norman]

That's one of the only ones that I can really. I like sports. I can get into a game, but I don't follow it. You know, they're like. They traded Buhner. I'm like, I don't know. But ufc, I'm all over. I love ufc.

[Ryan Seacrest]

What's your thought on Michael Chandler, Patty Pendleton coming up?

[Mark Norman]

Oh, that's. That's exciting because they're so different. Chandler's like a little tank, you know?

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

And he's tough, as.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Have you ever been around Mike before?

[Mark Norman]

No.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He is truly a bit like a pit bull.

[Mark Norman]

Like, really?

[Ryan Seacrest]

He is just a dense. You, like, grab him and you're like. He's just built with something a little extra in his mind.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Times.

[Mark Norman]

And he's what, five? I don't know what centimeters are.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I mean, why they do the height in centimeters. What are we doing?

[Mark Norman]

What are we, British?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, let's get away from that immediately.

[Mark Norman]

Yes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I also can't get down with kilograms either. Like, they put me on the LBs.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Don't confuse the Americans.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. He's a different human being, Patty. He's. I mean, he was a barstool guy for a minute. He was like. I don't know if Mike's five, nine, by the way. He's probably, like, in that five, seven, five, eight. I would agree, but they're both, like, dynamic fighters, and so I don't know if you had opinion, because that's coming up What? Next weekend, right?

[Mark Norman]

Oh, I can't wait.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Coming up like that. Yeah, I think it's next weekend. Yeah, it's going down.

[Mark Norman]

That's a.

[Ryan Seacrest]

The 12. This show comes out on Tuesday, so it'll be just a couple of days away.

[Mark Norman]

That's it. You see, Pereira got. Got down.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

That. I never thought I'd see him go down.

[Ryan Seacrest]

We were at that fight.

[Will Compton]

Whoa.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And it was like. It just kind of felt like he wasn't into it.

[Mark Norman]

Really.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I don't know what it was because I was at the. I was at the Pereira. The one where he knocked buddy out. That Russian Croatian guy, whatever he is. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

He.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He hit him in the end of the first round, and then four minute, four seconds into the second round. Head kick.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And knocked him out cold.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

His walk out, he's like all timed up. This one just felt different. It didn't feel like he was. Like he was all he was. He looked like he was afraid of getting taken down. Now, I don't know the first thing about Brazilian jiu jitsu or ufc, like, the techniques of those things, but he just didn't seem like his heart was in it.

[Mark Norman]

Well, you guys know, as athletes, you have an off night. You know, sometimes as a comic, you have an off night. You just. You don't. You can't get there. You're not feeling it. Something's wrong.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It's such an interesting world with the ufc, though, having an off night, because with football, like football, of all the main sports, you only have 17 games.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But if you up one week, it's like, next week, I'm solely focused on fixing these issues from that week and having a better week.

[Mark Norman]

Yes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

When you lose in ufc, it's like.

[Will Compton]

Such a team game, too.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Such a team game. So there's so many different variables when it comes to the ufc. Like, you're in there three times a year.

[Mark Norman]

Right.

[Ryan Seacrest]

If you're putting the gas on. On the floor.

[Mark Norman]

But there's so much build up, you know, like, you're probably puking and training, and that's just that one shot. You get one fight.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I know.

[Will Compton]

Do you have a process going into. Going into comedy? I found when you're feeling like. When you're feeling off, like, what are you doing to try and get in the mode?

[Mark Norman]

That's a good question. I. I still haven't cracked that code yet. But to me, the less you think about it, the better. Better. That, to me is the key. I used to be like, let me prepare. Let me think of some topical to be ready with and all that. And now I just. Like the rhyming. Last night, I just cleared the brain and went right in and I just started riffing on Morgan Wallen. I was like, I'm gonna say the N word. That's his God's country. And then I was talking about Nashville is like. It's sceney now. It's like, if Texas raped la and I was just going off, it was just coming off the dome. But I think if I had prepared, because you prepare and you kind of plan it out in your head, and when it doesn't go exactly right, you start to panic, and then that. That throws off your whole set, I think. So it's better just.

[Will Compton]

Just riff when you're not hitting, like, what's going on in your mind?

[Mark Norman]

You're just frazzled, man. It sucks. You get that fight or flight, and you have to party. Just wants to go, hang on, guys, let me start over. But you can't do that, obviously. So you got to just, like, one thing to do is lean in. Like, if you're scared of bombing, just go up and bomb the first joke. And then you'll be like, all right, that sucked. But now I shook it off.

[Will Compton]

Right. Like, this is. If this is the worst part, I'm good with it.

[Mark Norman]

Exactly. Sometimes the best thing you can do is the. The worst thing to do.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

The thing you're scared of. Just do that immediately, and then it'll.

[Will Compton]

You'll clear out, like, working on sets. Like, what are you do. Kill Tony.

[Mark Norman]

Yep.

[Will Compton]

You've been a part of Roast.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Like, what are the styles of comedy that you enjoy the most, like, outside of your. Like, you're crafting a set on your own for, like, a special.

[Mark Norman]

Well, to me, doing an hour is a really. That's. To me, that's the coolest thing. Watching a guy do a full hour and building that over years. But I like a guy like Bill Burr, who can. He's funny on Kimmel, he's funny on stage, he's funny on his own pod. You want to be that well rounded. Shane is like, that, you know, like these guys who can just be funny everywhere on a podcast, whatever. And I just always wanted to be that guy. So you gotta. You gotta put the work in, dude.

[Will Compton]

How. How, like, impromptu is all the Kill Sony stuff.

[Mark Norman]

All impromptu stuff, because you don't know.

[Will Compton]

Who'S, like, so much fun just being at those events.

[Mark Norman]

It's the best.

[Ryan Seacrest]

As a guy sitting on the table, you don't know who's coming up next.

[Mark Norman]

No, they just pull out of a bucket. So you get some, like, handicap guy and you just got to make it work.

[Will Compton]

And he'll pull you guys, he'll pull stuff out of a hat. And those people come up and do a minute.

[Mark Norman]

One minute. Yeah, yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

The sound of the cat.

[Will Compton]

And then they. They. They rip their minute. You guys roast them.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. Yep.

[Will Compton]

You talk about how they can tighten it up.

[Mark Norman]

Yep. And what they look like. I mean, we go all in and they signed up for it. So no one gets offended. It's all fun and games.

[Will Compton]

God, how terrified would you be?

[Ryan Seacrest]

I would be pretty terrified of that.

[Mark Norman]

And imagine the arena. These kids are doing an arena tonight.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

So that must be. I'd be in my pants.

[Ryan Seacrest]

60 seconds to make it work. And then this is like a massive.

[Will Compton]

Break for them for all these big time comics, too.

[Ryan Seacrest]

One of the wins for a lot of comics, I feel like, because I have no idea, is when you're starting out, no one knows who you are. So you don't, like, you don't have a fan base to sit back and, like, be like, oh, you're funny. You're not.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You get to grow over time with everybody.

[Mark Norman]

Yes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

These people are coming to see funny. And you have 60 seconds to prove that you are that.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, yeah. And if you're not, you will get lambasted in front of 20,000 people and on the Internet.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Have you. Have you been on Kill Tony with a man named Uncle Laser yet?

[Mark Norman]

I've heard the name, but I don't think I've.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He said he's an Austin mainstay. He was a part of beer Olympics a couple years ago. Oh, mullet it. Yeah, he's got this guy flaps.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen him, but I haven't. I've just saw him online.

[Ryan Seacrest]

We were in Austin. We did a live show in Austin. I don't know how he had a couple of funny, like, reels on Instagram, and for whatever reason, he and I started talking. So he came up during our live show, and our fans were even like, get the off the stage. We did not come to see you. And we're not funny. Like, we just sit up there like, hey, so this is the podcast. We're gonna do the podcast now.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And he comes up, starts doing bits. Everyone's like, get the off the stage. He's like, yeah, yeah, whatever.

[Will Compton]

Hard with him that night.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, yeah. We got after it with him that night. But he's been on Kill Tony. I thought he did pretty solid yeah.

[Mark Norman]

He'S got a fan base. I think people really like him.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He's got a nice fan base. He paints his toenails. Didn't know how I felt about that when we found that out. Have you seen. Have you seen Beer Olympics?

[Mark Norman]

I've seen it. Yeah. I don't know if I could hang a liquor guy. I mean, I have a gluten allergy, which is. Might be the gayest thing that's ever been said. I grew up drinking beer all the time, and then when I hit 35, something, I would just get gas, diarrhea, water. So I think I. I have a gluten allergy that I haven't diagnosed, but that's what I'm guessing. Yeah, it is.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So that beer you're holding in your hand right now.

[Mark Norman]

Well, I can do one or two, but if I do more than that, I'm like, really? I get a distended belly. I get, like, a little woozy, and mouth feel weird. Dry mouth.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Safe to say he's out of Beer Olympics.

[Mark Norman]

Sorry. We do liquor Olympics. I'll blow.

[Will Compton]

You'll be there?

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

You'll be there?

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Dial that in.

[Mark Norman]

Like, I don't know how Gillis does it with those.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He's a dude. He's a tank. The way he puts him down.

[Mark Norman]

He is.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And over and over again.

[Mark Norman]

That's our. We, me and him. Sell a hooch. That's our rye.

[Will Compton]

That's your guys right there. The bodega.

[Mark Norman]

Bodega, yeah, we sell that. It's in all the comedy clubs now. It's getting some.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Really?

[Will Compton]

Where can people get it? Shout it out, dude.

[Mark Norman]

It's online right now. Wait. Tennessee is so Bible Belt. You guys have crazy red tape. So we're having trouble getting it in here. Here. But it's all over the country, and you can get it online. Bodega Cut.

[Will Compton]

And when you say. We see getting in here, like, in the clubs and in this.

[Mark Norman]

In the state, like, ordering it into.

[Will Compton]

The state or just, like, being able to sell it, because I know when we were doing the whistlebig, it all it. You know, the tough part of it was you could buy it online, but in certain states, Tennessee being one of them. Tennessee, Missouri, like our big states.

[Mark Norman]

There you go.

[Will Compton]

People couldn't, like, order it online and get it shipped to them.

[Mark Norman]

Exactly.

[Will Compton]

The state.

[Ryan Seacrest]

What made you guys want to start a ry?

[Mark Norman]

Well, all these comics kept getting sober. Like, when I started comedy, it was like, degenerates. It was like cokeheads and, you know, pedophiles and Comedy kind of got, like, softer, and everybody got sober and started doing, like, wellness and yoga. And so we were like, it. We're like the last couple guys who still party hard and drink. So let's start a liquor. Yeah. You know, Kevin Hart has one and you know, Ryan Reynolds. So it just seemed like people are doing it. And I was like, why not? Yes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. Did you guys, like, go and, like, do tastings, like, figure out what you really wanted? Like, did you guys do the whole process? Where'd you guys go for that, all that?

[Mark Norman]

We went to Texas and did, like a distillery and tasted like. Must taste like 20 whiskeys. We're like, this is the one. Then we had to pick a name. Then you pick a bottle and you pick a label. So quite a process.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Sounds like a fun process.

[Mark Norman]

It was fun. I mean, you're drinking the whole time.

[Will Compton]

Oh, there you go. Oh, you got to have some. Because you went to Sam's show. Yeah. Like, when you were shooting. You were shooting something with.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yes. So Sam's doing a. Like a. A movie along with his tour right now. He's like, self funding a movie.

[Mark Norman]

That's right.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And so I don't know the whole premise. He didn't really give it to me. He was like, but do you want to be in it? And I was like, yeah, I'd love to be in it. So we did a bunch of bits of, like, his opener who sounds. What's his opener's name?

[Mark Norman]

Gary Veder.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, they're the exact same person, by the way. They have the exact same tone every. Everything.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Like, we, like, did a bit of us doing shots and then him doing a big line of cocaine and me being like, that was for all of us, like, that kind of thing.

[Mark Norman]

That's great.

[Will Compton]

Were you in it?

[Mark Norman]

We all took shots.

[Ryan Seacrest]

We all took shots. We all took what you think?

[Mark Norman]

All right, there they are. Yeah, he's just those. Bald, small. Sam.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's what he is. Dude. They. They sound the exact same. They really had. They. They had, like, the same delivery, same every. They're both extremely funny. Yeah, they were both great. I loved them. But I. I wondered because I haven't been to a lot of shows if, like, you pick your openers to sound like you, because that's what people are there for you is you. You.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, it's interesting. I. I don't do that. Like, I had a girl in a wheelchair open for me last night at the. Right.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Was she on Kill Tony as well?

[Mark Norman]

Yes, yes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. Red hair girl, right?

[Mark Norman]

Fiona.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, she's funny.

[Mark Norman]

She's super funny, super dark, and, you know, a lot of wheelchair jokes, obviously. And I feel like it just cuts the tension and it lets the crowd know, like, oh, we're going in on crazy. Like, everybody loosen up. This is. This is what you're opening with? It's actually quite cute for a cripple.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Purple.

[Mark Norman]

But she's super funny, and she's. She's doing well. I think she's gonna blow up if she doesn't, you know, die. Well, she's got some crazy disease.

[Ryan Seacrest]

What's the disease?

[Mark Norman]

I'm sure you can Google it. I can't remember the name. It's some rare ass. Something you never heard before.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Okay.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. But find that slowly killing her, because.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I seen that clip of her, and I. I saw. Saw everybody on the bench, like, rolling. And that's how you found her. Yeah, on Kill Tony.

[Mark Norman]

I actually did a show with her years ago randomly, and I was like, who's this handicapped lady? And then she started just blowing up on her own. No, she lives here now.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No, for real?

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Okay. What is this? We will.

[Mark Norman]

Is it what Frederick's ate?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Ataxia, a muscular dystrophy. Words, man. Words are tough for me.

[Will Compton]

Is it cool that it feels like you're in a spot, too? Like, you got people who can open for you where you feel like you can come, can kind of. You can kind of help them.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, that is fun. That's really cool. Like, Bargazi has all these guys doing Nateland, which is, like, his way of, like, propping people up, and I would love to do that because it's so hard out there as a comic in the beginning.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

It's hard to break through.

[Will Compton]

It feels. And too, it's like the. The comedy world, you guys. Everybody's built all these different platforms to where. I feel like, you know, now there are way more opportunities for comics to make it versus just grinding it out in New York. York. The streets in New York at a small bar. Like, four people there now there's all these podcasts. Like, I feel like your guys's industry has done such a great job.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Building it that way.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. It seems like comedy's on, like, higher than it's ever been right now.

[Mark Norman]

It's where. I mean, Theo's talking to Trump. I mean, like, it's all. It's crazy how big it's gotten, but it's all. The Internet. The Internet changed everything. Because before you had to get on the Tonight show, you got five minutes, and you maybe got an HBO special. If you were lucky, it was like five guys. Guys, every three years got an HBO Special. So now you can just be a funny guy and go on tick tock and boom, you're out into the world.

[Will Compton]

When do you feel like your big break was?

[Mark Norman]

Oh, that's. I did a. During the pandemic. I had a crazy right when the pandemic hit. I did Rogan when he was on YouTube, like the real old Rogan, like the career making Rogan. Then I got a shout out at a Mets game from Seinfeld. And then I put a special out on YouTube before anyone was really doing that. That and those three things kind of happen all within like a month or two. And it. It popped. The special got millions of views because it was in the pandemic. So no one had any. Any content.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. Consuming a bunch of.

[Will Compton]

Exactly. Awesome, man.

[Mark Norman]

It was just a luck of the draw.

[Will Compton]

And this, like, this opera here, like, going on Rogan's big time.

[Mark Norman]

Huge, huge.

[Will Compton]

How'd you get linked up with him?

[Mark Norman]

I met him with San. You know Andrew Santino.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Mark Norman]

I was doing a show in Atlanta. We were friends. He was open, opening for Rogan at some arena. And he goes, we're going to the UFC fight, if you want to go. And I said, hell, yeah. And I got to meet Joe, we got to chit chat and we got drunk together. And eventually he was like, you ever want to do the show? And you're like, what the. Like, that's like a super bottle going. If you ever want to, you know, just let me know. Yeah, yeah, of course I want to. Yeah. So I hit him up. I had a special coming out and I hit him up and I said, hey, you said this. I don't want to, you know, step on any toes here. But he goes, yeah, come on, buddy.

[Will Compton]

That is awesome.

[Mark Norman]

I was terrified for to do the show. To do the show. It was just the biggest show. It's just so weird talking and you're like, 10 million people are listening to this right now.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

I'm wearing a suit because I did tonight show the night before and got on a red eye and flew there. So I'm wearing the same clothes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No way.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Just in your pants the whole time. This is when it was still in la.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's. But I feel like a young cat.

[Will Compton]

This is what, a few years ago?

[Mark Norman]

This is 2019. Yeah, yeah.

[Will Compton]

Weathered since.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. You haven't slept in two and a half months.

[Mark Norman]

Blm.

[Ryan Seacrest]

A lot of happened Went down.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, I've aged.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So now when you go on for like the protect our Parks pods, do you feel uncomfortable or nervous at all now? It's just, you're. No, it's a. This is regular life.

[Mark Norman]

Right. And it's just fun. We've done like 12 of them now, so it's. We've all gotten to know each other. And you get. By the half hour mark, you're shitfaced.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

So you're just letting it fly. And then we edit later. A lot of editing.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. What is that? What is that? Next day Scary.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, dude, I'm texting Jamie. Take that out, Take that out. And the anxiety hits you.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Do they send you. Do they send you the raw footage? Because if you're, if you're a face, like some things you're not going to.

[Mark Norman]

Remember, you got to kind of just remember it. That's the hard part.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And sometimes got to do it.

[Mark Norman]

You're like, talk about that. Yeah. I said at some point, he's like, you got to let me know. It's a four hour pod. I can't, I can't just comb looking for that one word. Like, I think it was like an hour half in. I don't know.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Godamn. Yeah. Getting hammered on a show like that would be. Be. We'll be.

[Will Compton]

And you're ripping liquor. Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

Oh yeah. I'm going liquor. Shane's always.

[Will Compton]

Shane and them are. Yeah, they got like. They're ripping like 20 beers.

[Mark Norman]

Right?

[Ryan Seacrest]

It's just water.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It makes you throw up, makes you puffy, does all those things.

[Mark Norman]

True.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But water nonetheless.

[Mark Norman]

Oh yeah. You gotta wear the shades because we're smoking weed. We're doing shrooms.

[Will Compton]

You're doing all.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, yeah. We're smoking cigars.

[Ryan Seacrest]

See, the, the liquor part for me wouldn't be like the tough part. It's when you're smoking.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Because I can always kind of smoke myself into a frenzy where it's like I'm kind of just. Just nothing's going on in my brain anymore.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, you're a zombie.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, you're a zombie. I was like, what do you think? You're like, I just want to eat something. Right. That's all I care about.

[Mark Norman]

Ari does that. Ari goes quiet after about an hour because he's so high and he's in his head.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Ari seems like a guy that just does not stop.

[Mark Norman]

No, he does not stop.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He. He came on the show, we were talking for about 45 minutes.

[Will Compton]

He doesn't give a.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He does not give a Musi is amazing racist stuff.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. And he's like. And now he's talking about backpack. I forget.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Because we were talking about beer Olympics with him as well. Everybody that comes on the show, we're like, so what do you think about beer? Like, feel it all out with them. But he's gonna be like, backpacking in Alaska, South America for like a year.

[Mark Norman]

No, I think Costa Rica. I mean, that guy lives. He's like an old.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He like goes and does. For real?

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

How do you. I mean, pull up the photo of.

[Mark Norman]

Ari passed out on the floor because he tried to out drink Shane. And he's like 78 years old, by the way, you know, so he's. He. I thought he was going to the hospital.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I mean, bro, I was telling him.

[Will Compton]

Too, because I remember, like, every. He's making a joke. Every middle schooler understands the. The amazing racist.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And I was like, I remember coming across you again one day because I was thinking, one night, I'm like, what happened to this one guy who used to do the amazing content? Because then I saw him on a clip on Rogue. I'm like, oh, he's still around. He's doing Rogan.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Because I. I don't know. Like, we had a rumor at our school, like, oh, the amazing racist guy, you know, he got killed. Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

Wow.

[Ryan Seacrest]

There was that. There was always that rumor. And there was always the rumor of Marilyn Manson pulled out their rib so he could suck his own dick.

[Mark Norman]

I heard that.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I feel like that was.

[Will Compton]

That was like the first thing.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Trying to figure it out.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You ever try that?

[Mark Norman]

Oh, yeah, I got. I got a lick once.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No, you.

[Mark Norman]

I got a lick. Yeah. And I'm not well endowed at all, but flexible. I just really, like, kept pushing it. I was doing my own yoga at home and I got a. A lick. And right when you. Your tongue touches your dick, you go, what the am I doing? Like, reality sets in.

[Will Compton]

Is this effort really worth it?

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Like, everybody start catching a cramp in your something. Not that I've managed.

[Mark Norman]

I know that feeling.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. I mean, there's no. I. I'm not. I'm too stiff.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, same.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I don't have it. I don't have that spine mobility to get up there like that.

[Mark Norman]

Same here.

[Will Compton]

Cat cows, man.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. I guess you never know where you're at until you actually get the lick in. But part of me feels like I would go farther. Yeah. On yourself.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

If it wasn't wrong in your mind.

[Mark Norman]

It's a bad feeling.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, I guess. I guess you would know.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. It's not great.

[Will Compton]

Like, I may as go farther.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, right, guys? Everyone else feel the same exact way, right? Yeah. Anyway. Sucking your own dick, dude. Welcome to busting with the boys. Hope everyone's enjoying themselves.

[Mark Norman]

What about you guys? You gotta ask me about fist fights. You guys must. Oh, there he is. He's passed out in the cooler. By the way. Face in the cooler.

[Ryan Seacrest]

What hour is this?

[Mark Norman]

That's probably hour three, four. We'll go to five sometimes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No way.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. Look at all the. The dead soldiers up there.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No doubt none of them are yours.

[Mark Norman]

No, no. I'll have one or two in the beginning, and then I go all whiskey.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You start to get pink and bloated and you're like, let me get to this ride.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. Can feel the gurgle bubbling up in my.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, dude. Yeah. I mean, it's got to be. It's so, so interesting that like 2020, you're your pants going on that show. Fast forward 2025 and you're like, we've done 12, and now you just get facing the biggest show in the world.

[Mark Norman]

Well, everything gets normalized. Like, when you first see porn, you're like, oh, my God, tits. And after a while you're like, I need a hitchhiker. You know, like, you need more. You got to keep upping it.

[Will Compton]

So I need this guy forcing her to do that.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Will Compton]

Dude, you hear we can't quote with movies anymore.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Anymore. Hearing your story anymore. What is it?

[Will Compton]

Nothing. Having a guy force a girl, and.

[Ryan Seacrest]

[Will Compton]

You were about to ask, have we ever been in fistfights?

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, you guys are athletic, dude.

[Will Compton]

To be honest, no, not really.

[Mark Norman]

Really?

[Will Compton]

When I had in like sixth grade. But it got broken up pretty quickly after I threw a low leg kick at him and dropped.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Low leg kick, Nice. Oh, you were calculating.

[Will Compton]

You know, I wrestled. I kind of dabbled in some different stuff.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Wrestlers are throwing leg kicks.

[Will Compton]

Well, most of the time people are going to come in thinking you're going to throw fists. Nobody's ever thinking about their legs. So you just throw somebody off. You have a longer reach with your legs, like, let me dominate. Eliminate his legs real quick. And then if this gets to the ground, which is where I want to be, it'll be over for him. Yeah, but I threw the leg quick. We started to get to the ground. Teachers broke it up nice.

[Mark Norman]

But.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

No bar fight, nothing?

[Will Compton]

No, man, not really.

[Mark Norman]

Wow, that's good.

[Will Compton]

It's gotten, like, tense before, like, everybody, but I've never really had.

[Mark Norman]

Interesting.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, well, I've had a handful.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, yeah?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. Well, I was a nasty boy in college. I. I wouldn't. Was. Didn't mind getting in a scrum every once in a while. My senior year, year, we. We played Ohio State. We lost by one. And then I went to my house with my boys, and we cracked. We, like, took down, like, 12 hams.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Little ham's lights. Land of sky blue waters.

[Mark Norman]

Sure.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And, yeah, this is. That's me right there. This is the video cam footage. I actually told the boys about the story the other day. And we're going to this place called the Brown Jug, which is. This is the Brown Jug.

[Mark Norman]

I've heard of the Brown Jug.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And there's four or five guys on, like, megaphones. Ohio State fans are like, Michigan, blah, blah.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, boy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

To me, I was like, I'm. I'm so focused on getting hand hammered.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I want to get after it with my. My boys. And one dude is drunkenly hip, checks a pole, and I just. I want. I didn't see it, but my brother saw it, my best friend saw it, and my girlfriend at the time saw it, and I just kept walking. Well, my brother starts laughing at the guy. Him and his four guys get in front of my brother and, like, start, like, pushing him around a little bit. So my girlfriend at the time, Alex, is like, hey, Taylor, your brother's buddy in a fight. So I walk over to the guy, move one of his buddies out of the way and, like, open hand, like, palmed him in the face. Oh. He hits the ground, and he, like, spike spun. When he hit the ground, I was like, I. I thought I killed him.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So I kind of get freaked out. I run back in the Brown Jug, and then my. I see one of my buddies. I say the same thing. And then I'm like, well, the police are gonna be here soon. I should probably go outside so they don't, like, come get me out of the bar.

[Mark Norman]

Right.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You can tell it's like a packed area. I go out there. The guy's eating a burrito. He's totally fine.

[Mark Norman]

Okay?

[Ryan Seacrest]

He's just hanging out. The police officers there. I lie. I said I would never yeah. And then a week later, I broke up with that girl. And a police officer called her, doing an investigation. She's like, oh, yeah, yeah. He for sure hit her. Hit him. So my rookie year, I was literally in the middle of, like, this. This little situation.

[Mark Norman]

Whoa.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. And so that was the last fight I've ever been in.

[Mark Norman]

All right. Not too bad.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, not too bad. There was one other incident at Losers with Zach Mettenberger.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, you got the name.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. Well, Zach, he was a seventh round pick for the Titans, and it was my quarterback. Yeah. We would get drunk at Losers with the band, and we would all be saying, calling on Baton Rouge. Oh, yeah, because he went to lsu. He was all about it. And then this Alabama fan comes in and, like, starts yapping off to Zach and punches. That's me. Yeah, it's me doing an okay job at best, blocking for Zach. And the guy punches Zach in the face. Oh, and then he drop him.

[Will Compton]

I know. You told us.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No. Yeah, he did. Yeah, he dropped him. He dropped him. But he, like, scrums back up. He's got a big, like, raspberry in his face. And I walk him. Hey, what's going on? You all right? He's like, that guy just punched me in the face. I'm like, oh, what happened? He goes, that guy punched me in the face. So I walked out there and I saw him. Zach, that's the day he got. He's told. He was told he's gonna be a starter. And that was a Snapchat of him saying, this is my team now. Oh. And we played the Houston Texans. J.J. watt got a sack on him. And there's a photo of JJ doing a selfie to make fun of that exact picture. Anyway.

[Mark Norman]

Holy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I walk outside the Losers, and I hit this guy. Lawn chaired him, knocked him out.

[Mark Norman]

Nice.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And I said something like, don't hold it him. Like, oh, you don't touch my friend like that. Something lame.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And then got out of there. And that was really it. That was the last time I ever put my hands on another man.

[Mark Norman]

Damn. But it's nice to get a knockout in.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Nice to get a knockout in.

[Will Compton]

You know, it's nice to have a guy like that on your side, too. Of course, you get clocked, you're like, him. Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Barge through, like, four security guards, smoke.

[Will Compton]

Them, Let the dog off.

[Ryan Seacrest]

The. The owner of the bar, like, kicked everybody out. Shut it down. Is. We're done here. The Titans called me the next day. Like, tell me what happened. I'm like. So I go in there. I hadn't even signed my contract yet. So they. They call my agent.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, no.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They're like, hey, we got a problem. Looks like we're gonna have to, like, renegotiate Taylor's stuff. And my agent's like, taylor loses leverage. Yeah, I lose all the leverage. But my agent was like, hey, listen, like, he just protected your quarterback that you drafted. Technically, he did his job. If anything, he needs a raise. And my contract was signed, like, a week later. Yeah, it was done.

[Mark Norman]

Boy, you look a lot better now.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Right? Holy hell. That's a dude.

[Will Compton]

Isn't it crazy?

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's a different boy right there.

[Mark Norman]

That's a different guy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

There's no resemblance.

[Ryan Seacrest]

None. I think it's my rookie year.

[Mark Norman]

Look at those tits.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I know. He's not bad, huh? Popping. I got some nice nips, too, now.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, yeah?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, they got the full thing going on.

[Mark Norman]

Well, I lived in a house with a bunch of guys, and one of the guys was six, nine. Just. Just a pothead. Nice guy, like Grateful Dead and Fish. But everywhere we went, people would start with him because he was so tall. So everybody's like, I want to fight. You think you're tougher than me? The guy's like, hey, man, I'm just drinking a beer. What are we doing here? And he would get in fights constantly just because he was so big.

[Will Compton]

Could he scrap?

[Mark Norman]

He eventually could. Yeah. He figured it out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he was, like, the sweet, nerdy kind of hippie guy. And he was, like, wearing Birkenstocks and. And. Yeah. Hemp necklace. And people would always with him just because he was tall.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Something about like. Yeah, guys just always want to check the biggest dude in the room sometimes.

[Mark Norman]

Exactly.

[Will Compton]

It's like that courage, that liquor.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. I could take this guy out, right? Yeah, buddy. What are we doing? My belly button. 6 9. Those zoo animal height.

[Mark Norman]

Yes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's crazy. I walk around myself, and I think I'm way too tall.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, you are too tall.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I am too tall. Yeah. I look around, I'm like. I was at my daughter's. Daughter's friend's birthday party the other day, and I looked and I saw. Saw all the women were the same height. And then there was a little step up. Then all the men were the same height.

[Mark Norman]

Yep.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And I was looking over all of them.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

This is because. I don't know.

[Mark Norman]

I'm just.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I'm just tall. Gentle giant tall.

[Will Compton]

I don't know.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I look at all these other people, I'm like, holy.

[Mark Norman]

What about A flight. That's got to be.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Hell, flights aren't bad. Southwest, you get that nice little exit row?

[Mark Norman]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's the move for me. If you're getting that exit row, you're living la vida loca right there. It's not bad, but I feel like, tall guy.

[Mark Norman]

Like, what are you, 611262? Sorry. I'm 5 10. So I'm obsessed with. I, you know, I know every height on a man because, you know, you scan it immediately as a short guy. But women just flock. I mean, if you're over 6, 6 foot 6 one, you're in. It's like you. It's tall as big tits for men.

[Will Compton]

That's so funny you say that, because I've never, like, felt that way.

[Mark Norman]

Really?

[Will Compton]

Well, fear strikes in my mind when. When. When, like, women were to approach. You know what I mean? We were talking about this not too long ago. Like, I was never the guy that could sit there where you. Your charisma just shells up.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And being like, yo. You know, you're thinking of all the wrong.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Trying to be cool. You're trying to do whatever. Like, hey, how you doing? Why do I say like that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You ask him, like, what year are you? And they're like, I'm a sophomore. Like, oh, cool. Then I find, what year are you? And you're like, I just asked that. What am I doing?

[Will Compton]

You come here a lot? We brought you out today.

[Mark Norman]

Look, sometimes, you know, we'll have football players at the mothership will come by, and the girls, like, the female comics, they switch. They just are like, oh, my God. There's something, like, primal about a big dude coming in around a lady, and they turn into, like, dudes. They're, like, drooling, and they're like, can I eat your ass? You know, like, they. They panic. And it's fun to see women lusting over men because, you know, as a. I'm a dweeby guy. I'd go up to girls all my life, and they'd be like, yeah, no, thanks. So it's fun to see girls, like, in the dudes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

And I feel like you guys, you know, athletes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I mean, you saw that old photos of me. Well, that's true. There wasn't. I wasn't walking in a bar and turning heads.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, good point.

[Will Compton]

And the old teeth that I had. It was you.

[Ryan Seacrest]

What do we got here?

[Will Compton]

He said, pull that years ago. Oh, buddy, you got a sleeper build under there.

[Ryan Seacrest]

What is that?

[Mark Norman]

This is years ago. That's A lot less drinking.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Pull the shirt up. Dude, we that same thing going right there, don't you.

[Mark Norman]

Oh my.

[Will Compton]

You got a six pack going on under there?

[Mark Norman]

No. Well, that's all flab now. But this is pre pandemic was working out every day. I had nothing going on. I just do comedy at night.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Zoom ins are insane.

[Mark Norman]

You're killing me here. This is. The gays do this to me all the time. They, they. I'm on these gay websites. Thank you.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I mean, buddy, that's a real. That's legit six pack.

[Mark Norman]

Thanks. Thanks. Yeah, it was a different time.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, we got Jared right here. He was at your show last night, but he and I made a bet. $5,000 by January 1st of 2026. Wait, is it 2025 right now? Yeah, 2026. 2026. If he can have a six pack by JN1, I'll give him $5,000. If he does not, he's got to do a 20 minute set.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, that's a long time. 20 minutes is a eternity for a new comic.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I don't even want to say this.

[Will Compton]

Because it hurts myself.

[Mark Norman]

You keep lowering.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I know you started a half an hour. Yeah, but you, you said it to me a couple days ago and I still think it's 20. That's true. Yeah. Any pointers for Jared? 20 minutes because he's. Hey, Jared, lift your shirt up for the show.

[Will Compton]

Come on.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I mean, we just gotta see.

[Mark Norman]

All right, all right. You got. You got a already flat stomach.

[Will Compton]

There we go. It wasn't flat like a month ago.

[Mark Norman]

I'll tell you one look a lot better.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, I lost a little bit of weight.

[Mark Norman]

Every time you're sitting down right now, just. Just hover your feet 2 inches off the floor. Just do that all day every day. And that's one good way that'll get your core going. But other than that, I think it's the, the. What do you call those mountain climb climbers.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, the versa climber.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. Good luck.

[Will Compton]

Sam said I had no chance when we talked to him.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Sam did say that, but I was drinking with him when we said that.

[Mark Norman]

True, you'll get leaner, but a six pack is so hard to get.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And it makes coming from a guy who's had one.

[Will Compton]

Did I tell you what? Doing 20 minutes would be crazy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You did five.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. And that's like it. That felt like I was in hell.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But you really went nine. I think you were around like the nine.

[Mark Norman]

Really?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, he was solid.

[Will Compton]

Dude, you killed kill bombs.

[Mark Norman]

You killed at the roast yeah, Jelly roll.

[Will Compton]

Terrified for that. I was like, Nick Torani helped me write a couple jokes. Caleb Presley, I think, gave me one. But I was absolutely terrified going out there. I'm, like, talking with Taylor beforehand because again, you're, like. You're, like, trying to map it out in your head, but honestly, seeing you guys, seeing you guys go back and forth and have the papers out.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Oh, thank God I can look at my phone. I'm, like, trying to. I'm, like, trying to memorize all this stuff. Stuff. But you're, like, sitting there terrified. Who was the guy that looks like joyride? Like the truck. The trucker.

[Mark Norman]

Trucker. Chris Porter.

[Will Compton]

No, it wasn't Chris.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Is this the guy that had the.

[Will Compton]

Hair half Big J?

[Mark Norman]

Oh, Big J. He went off the dome.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That was unbelievable.

[Will Compton]

How was he watching an athlete up here just shaking, trying to read. Trying to read jokes. I'm like, oh, man. That is how I was mentally.

[Mark Norman]

Well, he didn't much. I. I didn't prepare like I should have. And he was like, oh, I didn't even know it was a rope roast. So he got there like, wait, this is a roast? I thought we were just having a birthday party. And so he went off the dome and riffed on everything and killed.

[Will Compton]

It was like, yes, man. Maybe set of the night, had the cigarette going.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, yeah, he was so I thought Adam Ray was.

[Mark Norman]

He killed.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I thought he was amazing. All right. Yeah, we're the next one.

[Mark Norman]

He's having a real moment, buddy.

[Will Compton]

From. From Yellowstone. Heckling from the top.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Colton Carson.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Rip, like, he was like. He was. He was in character that night.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That might have just been him. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

He was ripping around with Kid Rock, right?

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, yeah, they were hands, cuz.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. What was it? Bert made a joke about him.

[Mark Norman]

Yes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And then Rip was like, shut your mouth. My daddy. The reason why you're even on the set is because my dad or my grandpa feel blessed.

[Will Compton]

And I'm kind of sitting back. I'm looking over to Big J. I'm like, hey, is this real? He's like, oh, it's heine apples all the time. Like, man, it feels pretty real right now.

[Ryan Seacrest]

We got in the green room, and we were about to head out because we of school night, and he walks in. Cole Hauser.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And Bert's like, hey, just stay for a minute. We're like, okay, yeah, we'll stay. And, like, we had, like, watch them shake hands and hug it out.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

For a second. He says he's six one, but he was built. He's built like he's six, five.

[Mark Norman]

Yes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. He has, like, a stature about him that's pretty intimidating. I don't know if it's character on Yellowstone.

[Mark Norman]

Right. That helps.

[Will Compton]

Definitely. That definitely helps.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It felt like he does. He's got a vibe about him.

[Mark Norman]

He does. He's menacing. He's coming in. No smile, just scary.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, he. He kind of like that. He likes.

[Mark Norman]

He likes that. He's Rip. He is Rip.

[Will Compton]

And then when he comes in, he's, like, super polite, but it's almost like the. The respect is established that he's Rip.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. He's the alpha in the room. He has to be the alpha in the room. And Bert, too, like you. Bert said the whole time, he's like, I'm at my element. I'm not a. A roaster. So he. Of course, he's the one that's, like, trying to be nice to the process.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And catches the most hands. That's true.

[Mark Norman]

He was like, I'm a fan. What are you doing?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, exactly.

[Will Compton]

What did Bert say? He's like, I paid, like, five grand for these. He had, like, the paperwork, the jokes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, that's hilarious.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Even what?

[Will Compton]

He's like, I paid, like, five grand for these jokes. He's talked about how much he doesn't like roasting. Like, roasting's not, like, his.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

His bag of comedy.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

What's your. What's your take on roasts? I feel like you're. You're good. I saw it.

[Mark Norman]

I'm a fan of them. I think they. They. We got to go back to what they used to be, because now roasting has just become like, this one on one thing. Before, it was like, like, s. Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin and was like, roasting the people you love. Like, we roasted Charlie Sheen and Trump, and those were fun. Now we don't have those anymore.

[Will Compton]

We have Tom Brady.

[Mark Norman]

That was. That was, like, a throwback. That's what a row supposed to be.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. Comedy Central had did great roast. There was one with Justin Bieber and Andy Samberg.

[Mark Norman]

That was great.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Came in, and he did, like, an anti. Like what? An anti roaster. Like, he was, like, very polite to everybody. By pretending like he was roasting everyone.

[Mark Norman]

Yes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I think that that was one of the funniest. It was so good.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. Well, it's hard to get a new spin on roasting. So that was him and Norm. Norm had that. That anti comedy roast. I never saw that.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Dude. Norm is.

[Mark Norman]

He's my hero.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Is that Number one to you?

[Mark Norman]

Oh, yeah. I mean, I'm doing him, basically.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I'm not doing him.

[Mark Norman]

I can't replicate that.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But, like, maybe growing up, you put him on and you're like. Like, is everyone nears a little bit. Right? Like, you find something you like and you run with it.

[Mark Norman]

Exactly.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And that was him?

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, he's my guy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

His bit about it being a. A deeply closeted gay man.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, brilliant.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Is so funny. Have you heard that?

[Will Compton]

I have not.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He's on, like, what? Larry.

[Mark Norman]

Larry King.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And he's like, what's one thing about you we don't know? He's like, one thing about me no one knows is I am a deeply closeted gay man. He goes, wait, what are you saying? He's like, I'm not saying anything. He's like, but you're saying you're deeply closeted. He's like, yeah, I'm deeply closeted. So you're gay.

[Will Compton]

Whoa.

[Mark Norman]

There's a lot of layers.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, a lot of layers. But it was.

[Mark Norman]

He's basically trolling. Larry King.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Is he?

[Mark Norman]

Oh, yeah, he's around.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Is Larry gay?

[Mark Norman]

No, no. He's just. He's just like, larry's not gay. He's dead.

[Will Compton]

Does that mean Larry's gay?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, he's God.

[Mark Norman]

Larry King, by the way, I think he had eight wives. Give that a go.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Give that a go. Yeah, throw that in there.

[Mark Norman]

He's a wild dude. Jew from Brooklyn. He's been doing that show forever. I think he's dead now.

[Will Compton]

Rip.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. For real.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, how many wives you got here?

[Ryan Seacrest]

There's a whole list.

[Mark Norman]

Hit that show. More. Oh, seven women. Okay. Pretty good.

[Will Compton]

Got a second chance.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Married eight times, seven women.

[Mark Norman]

Wow.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. That is wild. I don't know if I could do the marriage thing again.

[Mark Norman]

No.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Like, do you think you'd ever. Let's say it didn't work out.

[Mark Norman]

Never again.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Shut it down. Right.

[Mark Norman]

No. What's the point?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, exactly. You got the kid.

[Will Compton]

That's kind of.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Is what it is.

[Will Compton]

You have a kid going on. On.

[Mark Norman]

Exactly.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. That would be. That'd be a very tough situation. Yeah, but the thought of, like, having another wedding. Sit down, I'm giving you my heart. Talk. Did we already do this?

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

You just have to be best friends with somebody for the rest of the time. They would have to understand that.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Okay. Let's just not make it complicated.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But you see, people get older, and then they're like, I want to get married. It's like, you're 62.

[Mark Norman]

I know. What Are we doing just find another divorcee and just live together?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. Just hang out.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Boyfriend, girlfriend, Right?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, exactly.

[Mark Norman]

We got a sign.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You want to jump it, put a ring on it and all that.

[Mark Norman]

That n. That. I guess you get lonely. But what's the. What do you need the. The certificate for?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Right? What's it do?

[Mark Norman]

What's the difference? Exactly.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. This show, the Golden Bachelor. I can't.

[Mark Norman]

I'd her in a second. Jesus. I think that's the chick on Bourbon. I got a thing for old broads. I like a big old catcher's mitt.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Why do you think you gravitate towards that? That you have some mom issues?

[Mark Norman]

Growing up, my mom wasn't around a ton. She was like a workaholic. And also, older women just. They're just like, dudes. They're like, just me and leave. You know, young girls are like, what are we? Where's this going? You're like, relationship. Yeah. I don't want to text you.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

I just thought we were hooking up.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

The texting's fun until it happens. And it's like, hey, we kind of. We had some fun.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, Exactly.

[Will Compton]

Let's circle back.

[Mark Norman]

It's horrible wiring that God did. Where we. A girl we have zero interest at after. That's the weirdest. I don't know why they designed it because the girl is now more interested and the guy is like, I gotta get out of here.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. We were talking before you came in. Like, you know, you spank one off in college before you go out, so that way you could have a little bit more longevity.

[Mark Norman]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

If you do strike something or it helps you decide. Do I even really want to go out?

[Mark Norman]

No. It clears your mind.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. You know, that's not clarity.

[Mark Norman]

Yes. That is very real.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That is a yes. Absolutely.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

I think that's what women have all the time. Time. Like the way we feel right after we nut. I think is how women feel baseline.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Sad.

[Mark Norman]

A little shame. Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

A little bit of shame.

[Mark Norman]

Oh. After brain leads, a cocktail of chemicals. Okay. Reduce sexual arousal, shift your emotional state, and lead to a more detached mindset. Yeah. There you go. Maybe it's like a.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That makes it sound sad. I feel like that. Yeah. That doesn't make it sound as fun as, like in college when you're just like, I want to make good decisions.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And if someone. Something sparks up, I can last a little bit longer.

[Mark Norman]

Right, Right.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Because there's nothing more defeating than being a two pump shop.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, yeah. Story of my life.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Hey, Timothy. Charlemagne. And what's her name the first time?

[Mark Norman]

100.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Sorry about that.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. It's hard to last.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It is.

[Mark Norman]

Although you get older and you know, you can start thinking about your dad or whatever. Whatever works.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Whatever works.

[Mark Norman]

Gotta get desperate.

[Ryan Seacrest]

We think.

[Will Compton]

What else we got, boys?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Anything you want to get off your chest?

[Mark Norman]

Well, I want to apologize for not knowing about sports, but you guys can talk. You guys are good. You guys are real.

[Will Compton]

Thank you. You don't have to know about sports.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, I guess the whole thing.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No, the pods for everybody. Come in, hang out, have a good conversation.

[Mark Norman]

All right.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Establish relationship.

[Mark Norman]

What do you think about the wnba? No. Thanks a lot.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. You've been crushing it, man. We appreciate you like finding time to come on the bus too.

[Mark Norman]

It's an honor again. Sorry I was late. Theo wouldn't shut up about Gaza.

[Will Compton]

Appreciate it.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No problem, boys.

[Will Compton]

Hey, boys in the back.

[Mark Norman]

Feel great. Great.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Any questions?

[Will Compton]

Any questions?

[Mark Norman]

I have a question.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Give them the mike. Give. Get the mic. Get the mic.

[Will Compton]

I mean it's a. It's a yes or no question. Is that the watch?

[Mark Norman]

This is the watch.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I thought.

[Will Compton]

I know if you got a new one?

[Mark Norman]

No, I think still ticking on all.

[Ryan Seacrest]

The protect our parks.

[Will Compton]

It like beat like that one.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. Rogue kind of a niche thing.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I just.

[Will Compton]

It's a yes or no question.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

What's the thing? We have this episode to bring you Row. There's a lot of things in life we want to speed up. Boys. When I am on my way from my house to here, every single red light I hit, I just get super, super frustrated. And maybe that's the same way for you when you get in the bedroom. Let me tell you, there's nothing wrong when it just takes a little bit of time for you. But if you want to speed up those things, go and try out sparks. So rose Sparks are a 2 in 1 prescription treatment for guys who need a secret weapon happen against their softness.

[Will Compton]

Compounded drugs are permitted to be prescribed under federal law but are not FDA approved and do not undergo FDA safety effectiveness or manufacturing review. For full safety information go to rode co safetyinfo. Today we got a fan question from a tier one out there at mosquitojones32 at asks why are there toenail clippers and fingernail clippers if most fingernail clippers are too weak to clip fingernails? So we just end up using toenail clippers on our fingernails.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Also.

[Will Compton]

What's your favorite burger joint?

[Mark Norman]

I got one clipper. I don't know if it's a toenail or fingernail.

[Will Compton]

I know. I feel like my, my fingernail clippers are pretty strong. Yeah, I was reading through that. I was like, yeah, I kind of use them for both my, my fingernails and my toes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I just pick my nails.

[Mark Norman]

Oh yeah, yeah, that just.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I just pick them and peel them off.

[Mark Norman]

Same.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, just go there and I just find a little, I got some, find a little weak point in my nails and I just pull it off.

[Will Compton]

I feel like I got some like strong feminine nails where I got. I can't do that, like chew at them or pick them off.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I'll tell you what a big win is. This might be a little, little too much. Is hot, warm day, shoes come off, then the socks come off and you start feeling those nails that are a little too long and you're like, yeah, this boy's got some weakness to him. So you kind of start picking it and you just get that one. It's like a thick nail too.

[Mark Norman]

Oh, that's the best.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Get it off. It's a great feeling.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, that full pull where it doesn't break.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. Cuz both my big toes right now my nails are a little too long and I'm waiting for the heat to catch up a little bit for me to take them boys down. Have myself a little afternoon with it.

[Will Compton]

Oh yeah, here's another one. Mary Kill Shane, Sam and Ari O. Wow.

[Mark Norman]

Well, geez, that's a tough one. I mean they're all. I guess I'd Sam because he's somewhat in tape. I guess you'd marry Shane for the money and then you'd Kill Ari because he's ugly.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's awesome. We do appreciate you coming on.

[Mark Norman]

Thank you.

[Will Compton]

Oh, our Bud Light question brought to us by Bud Light. Bud Light. You know, people do anything for a Bud Light.

[Mark Norman]

You got that right.

[Will Compton]

What would you do anything for?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Can't say. Family.

[Mark Norman]

Okay. I wouldn't even think of that. Would I do anything for. I mean, sadly, I would just. To be able to keep doing comedy is. I have no other skills, so, like, I have to do this.

[Will Compton]

Dude, if comedy was gone, what would you do?

[Mark Norman]

I think I would go ups.

[Will Compton]

Okay.

[Mark Norman]

I like the. The shorts. No office van with no door. Everybody loves the package. Maybe you bang a housewife on there on your route, you know, so that. That. What can Brown do for you?

[Ryan Seacrest]

What can Brown do for you? You shout out ups, man.

[Mark Norman]

What about you guys? What would you do, man?

[Will Compton]

Great question. It's a tough one, especially if you can't include family.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah, right.

[Will Compton]

What would you do anything for?

[Mark Norman]

Because you want to make a couple bucks. Like, you could do Uber, but, you know, you want to make more money than that.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, I love how. I love how Marky stays within the realm, too, of, like, just his old janitor day.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Like, if it's not comedy, it's got.

[Will Compton]

To be give me ups and then you sing it for us. Like, you know, Uber.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

A perfect world. I. I'd be like a madman. That's pro. That's pretty cool. Making ads and commercials and stuff.

[Will Compton]

That'd be fun.

[Mark Norman]

But that's, you know, whiskey, cigarettes. Yeah, that's the dream.

[Will Compton]

What would you do anything for?

[Ryan Seacrest]

I don't know if I. I don't know if I have.

[Will Compton]

We should probably sit with that.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Something.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I know I want to come up with something right now because we are in the middle of doing a show, but you're right, it does take some thinking.

[Mark Norman]

Sports analysis. You think you do, like, a game time.

[Ryan Seacrest]

All right, it would be. I think it would be fun to do that. Would I do anything to be able to do that? No.

[Mark Norman]

Good point.

[Will Compton]

Because, like, you have the podcast, and you. You have a podcast, like, you just get to. Around and talk about whatever you want, right? And you're gonna be an analyst. Like, there's the pressure that comes with.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Like, right X's and O's.

[Will Compton]

Greg Olson doing. Everybody loves him. Then you see Tom, and people are on Tom in the first one, or Tony Roma always getting lazy, and people just.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, I would love to do. I would love to do a game once in my life with Will where we both Call the game, whether it's college or NFL.

[Mark Norman]

That's cool.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And he does the defense, I do the offense. I think that'd be a lot of fun. Even if it was like the sideline reporting type.

[Mark Norman]

That's great.

[Will Compton]

We'd have some fun with that.

[Ryan Seacrest]

We would have some fun. Like the mega cast. Yeah, like, that is. That's awesome. Have you seen the mega cast?

[Mark Norman]

No.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It's like you're just on the sideline. It's an alternate broadcast of just two guys in a booth, but you have like a small little bottom right corner. Camera. Camera.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And it's doing the game. You're, like, kind of talking, then you're going in the game. It's like having a podcast.

[Mark Norman]

That's great.

[Ryan Seacrest]

During the game.

[Mark Norman]

To me, that's cooler than the actual.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, yeah.

[Will Compton]

Being a real commentator.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, that would be. That would be fun to do. Would I do anything for it? No.

[Mark Norman]

Well, sure. Well, what do you think of Pat McAfee? Do we hate him? What do you think?

[Ryan Seacrest]

No, little shirt on.

[Will Compton]

Pioneer bro.

[Mark Norman]

Okay. He gets a lot of.

[Will Compton]

He does. But I feel like when you're that big, you're. You're gonna. You're gonna get no matter what.

[Mark Norman]

That's true.

[Ryan Seacrest]

True.

[Will Compton]

Like, no matter what you're gonna get.

[Mark Norman]

Right.

[Will Compton]

But as somebody like Pat, he's somebody in the space who retired at hit at his peak. He was a pro bowler. Had like a 16 million dollar contract on the table and walks away from it. To do all the stuff that you see him doing to at the time.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Make way less money.

[Mark Norman]

Wow.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. He had left and he joined Barstool. Then he leaves Barstool to do his own thing with the Pat McAfee Show. He's a cat that grew up, like, loving wrestling and now he's, like, commentating on the wwe. He's gotten to make appearances. So I feel like he's living, like, all of his childhood dreams out.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Right. And. Yeah, there's no.

[Will Compton]

You can't.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You can't get mad at somebody for taking what they want. Like, he does everything. Everything he decides to do, he does at the highest level.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah. So, okay.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, no, I'm a fan.

[Mark Norman]

All right.

[Will Compton]

Be able to operate at that capacity 24 7.

[Mark Norman]

It's massive.

[Will Compton]

You know what I mean? Like, think of, like, we think of our lives with, you know, how much you're on the road and you have a family back home or us doing the podcast. You got the family, like, all the. That he does this and he's able to operate at Such a high level.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, yeah. Do five days a week.

[Mark Norman]

Wow.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And get on a plane.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's. That's a lot.

[Mark Norman]

Okay.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So a lot of respect for Pat.

[Will Compton]

You hate Pat.

[Mark Norman]

No, I don't know Pat. I just. I hear a lot of. On him.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

No, the Internet gets loud.

[Mark Norman]

They really do it. Hate the Internet. As Saban.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Again, it's like Saban retires and he's like this, this lore of Nick Saban. What's he gonna do? His post life and his. And Pat sitting down with him every week to have like the legend of Nick Saban.

[Mark Norman]

That's pretty cool.

[Ryan Seacrest]

On the biggest platform, the biggest sports platform you can possibly have. Pat.

[Will Compton]

And again, like, when Pat made his show, he was wanting to do the stuff that he's doing now.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

But again, in like main tv, he wasn't like a quarterback or some high round pick. That's like, you know, he was a punter.

[Mark Norman]

Right.

[Will Compton]

He got told no a lot. So he kind of just created his own thing.

[Mark Norman]

I love that.

[Will Compton]

And now that he's on espn, it's just like. It's like one of those full circle things of like, you know, everybody who. Who doubted the boy.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. Because it's almost like if Pat didn't do the things he did, he probably wouldn't be in the position he is. Like, he wouldn't probably even be on espn.

[Mark Norman]

Right.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Because the whole punter thing.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

If he played got done. I want to get into broadcasting. They'd be like, well, you're a punter. Like, you probably do some satellite reporting for us. Because that's how it was.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He essentially had to make his own path.

[Mark Norman]

Wow.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Which is impressive.

[Will Compton]

Undeniable.

[Mark Norman]

I love.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

We're sick. We're done. Glazing paddock.

[Ryan Seacrest]

We have been going off on him.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. We would. We would dominate him in. In physical wrestling.

[Mark Norman]

He was sleeves.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He's grown up a lot. He's.

[Will Compton]

We can't glaze him too much. We blaz. We've glazed him a lot. I mean, you got to tone it. We got to tone it back.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. He's the goat. He's the goat.

[Mark Norman]

There you go.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He is the goat. But something you do anything for.

[Mark Norman]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I don't know. Is Larry King gay?

[Will Compton]

Something that comes to my mind. I don't know if I'd do anything for it, but I think it would be sick if, like you were. You had like a. A movie that was like I am Legend or Cast Away to where it's just you dam. That would be sick to like have or do.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Own. Yeah. Own one movie. The for the two hours that it's on. You were just the guy the whole time.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Mark Norman]

All right. I got mine. I got it.

[Will Compton]

You got one.

[Mark Norman]

Do anything for Sydney Sweeney one night. 20 seconds. No, I'm just kidding. She's single again, by the way, and her husband.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's a big talk topic. Yeah, it's a big topic in the world right now.

[Mark Norman]

The best looking guy on the planet. So I feel like everybody hope. Yeah, exactly.

[Will Compton]

Shane gives everybody hope.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, yeah.

[Will Compton]

He's got a bit of a rocket and it's, you know, it's Shane.

[Mark Norman]

Exactly.

[Will Compton]

You make people laugh. You got a chance.

[Mark Norman]

There you go.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Laughter.

[Mark Norman]

Money doesn't hurt.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, yeah. No doubt. God damn. Well, all right, boys. Oh, hey, by the way, Larry King is not. Was not gay.

[Mark Norman]

He's deeply closeted.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Deeply closeted. Deeply closeted.

[Will Compton]

Did Mark. Thank you, man.

[Mark Norman]

Comedy. Thank you. Appreciate you making your time do that.

[Will Compton]

Big hugs, tiny kisses.

[Mark Norman]

Here we go.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Three, two, one. Branded. Love it.

[Mark Norman]
