News that will make you happy about Jim Norton

[Jack_Horner]

As his friend, did you see the divorce coming? Was she a bitch or was it unexpected?

Unfortunately, yeah.

Basically, she was much younger than him. So he was at an age where he was "ready to settle down," but due to their age difference, he was the first long term committed relationship that she ever had.

Both of them were complete drunks, and at some point, she declared that he had to "stop drinking." (She continued to drink.)

At the time, I just figured that she must have been tired of him boozing. In hindsight? I think she laid a trap for him; I think that she thought that he wouldn't be able to stop. And her plan was that when he failed, she could divorce him and play the victim.

But he quit drinking, became a health nut, started bicycling and just generally living better. She didn't change at all.

After about a year, it was obvious that he wasn't going to relapse, so she just moved ahead with the original plan: she dumped him.

After the divorce, she started showing up to events with the dude who she cheated on with, from her job. That lasted about six weeks and then HE dumped her. I think she got the idea that she was still twenty and hot, and that the dude from work would become her next boyfriend or husband. I think she was blindsided when her "Work Husband" ghosted her.

I think this happens a lot; some girl gets married at 20 or 22, feels like she "missed out." She gets divorced, is a single Mom, and thinks that her dating prospects at 35yo with two kids will be no different than what her prospects were at 21 years old. And the media promotes that narrative, always fawning and promoting women as "sex symbols" who are 30, 40 or even 50.

Watched my girlfriends younger sister go through this arc. Almost identical to your story, leaving her married partner, whom she had 3 kids with, for her boss at work, that ended up kicking her to the curb, which resulted in her needing to find a new career within the next couple years after she polluted that work environment.

She's now with some faggot greasy cop. There will always be a more pathetic faggot to pick up the pieces for these shit-women. Its just how it is.

 

[JasperB]

Norton is just a giant stress ball in human form.

Yeah, he has to go on stage a few nights a week at various Laugh Factories and Chuckle Huts and make crappy sex jokes in front of small crowds…us civilians just wouldn’t be able to handle that pressure!

Ha! I actually left out the part where the woman had to quit her job, because of how weird it made everything, after her little "fling" went south

I left it out because I thought people would find it hard to believe that the woman would quit instead of the dude at work that she was cheating on her husband with

He thinks zoomers will love to hear him make references to 70s tv shows and the ten movies he’s seen in his entire life. Plus zoomers just LOVE the music of KISS and BLACK SABBATH!

For a guy who has been doing radio shows for years that are focused on pop culture / current events it’s pretty amazing how out of touch he is with anything close to current. It’s like he’s actually lived under a rock for the past 30 years.

Who is Jim Norton for these days?
He's turned his back on O&A fans by deliberately doing a show to repel them, but his stand up hasn't evolved beyond the Kenneth Pinyan/serial killer/70s movie jokes he was doing 20 years ago.
He could appeal to zoomers with the tranny wife, but he's a retarded Trump dicksucker, so that cancels out that demo.

How is Jimmy supposed to grow his audience?

2) On the latest podcast, Thor said he wants a girlfriend. Norton didn't even flinch, he's obviously heard it before.

Opening a marriage is typically a recipe for success and longevity, so nothing to see here, folks.

 

[Jack_Horner]

I honestly doubt it's even an "open marriage."

A lot of cucks and swingers get to a point where their dicks don't even work any longer

Norton probably bought a Viking because he wanted to watch the Viking have sex, not actually engage in anything.

Way, way, WAY back in the day, Norton was talking on the show about why he hired hookers. He basically said that he did it so he had material for the spank bank.

The dude ruined his dick with porn so badly, he'd rather watch and jerk off than be a "part of the action." This is something that Boogie Nights got right; notice that Jack Horner never actually fucks his wife during the entire movie, and his favorite thing to do is just sit back and watch. Every time he comes home, his wife (Amber Waves / Julianne Moore) heads to bed, while Horner stays in the living room. They never cut to the part where he's jerking it to her movies, but it's implied.

 

[JebJoh]

I'm with you. Sam, Travis and Troy are much more amusing than the Worm.

It is also possible that part of Norton's salary got split up between the new morning show guys. If Norton wants to come back he has to convince sam and crew to give up their raises to free up cash for Norton. Sirius ensured that Jimmy would never be welcome back

It is weird, cops are always available for 2nd or 3rd marriages. I guess they don't care because if you sue them you are getting half of nothing and part of a pension that is already divided up between his first ex wives

I wonder what will happen to his nights of going on stage to work out new material, his "Im just like Seinfeld" act. He will need to get paid for every appearance now that there is no steady paycheck

I've been out of the Jim Norton business for 8 years now, but what's with his relationship with Nikki? Have they been swinging or double-teaming girls prior to this? Or did Nikki just suddenly blurt out about wanting a girlfriend?

I thought Opie was just trying to be hurtful, but it turns out he nailed it with the "dry drunk" comment.

 

[LingerLonger]

How is Jimmy supposed to grow his audience?

Norton is incapable of holding an audience because of how repulsive he is. He's on the UFC interviewing Trump. He hosts a UFC podcast with a former champion. He's on Rogan's podcast many times. He's associated with tons of top comics and is on their podcasts and shows. He was the third microphone for two decades on the biggest radio show in history. He was in a Martin Scorsese film. He was a mainstay on The Tonight Show for close to a decade. He's got bit parts in lots of television shows and movies.

None of this translated to anything currently. It's insane how mismanaged his career is. Norton literally is going from Scorsese films to massive media companies and then getting nothing for himself at all. It never leads to anything. His only gigs where he was 'Jim Norton' as himself were because of O&A like his HBO specials or Vice show.

It simply has to be that Norton is a creep in professional meetings and scares off even the most degenerate freaks in show business.

Jack and Amber aren't husband and wife in Boogie Nights

I don't think he'd ever appeal to zoomers even if he wasn't a Trump supporter. He's so fucking old and Thor isn't particularly likeable or interesting either. His audience since 2014 has been an ever diminishing segment of former O&A fans. Listeners of Jim & Sam were just leftovers of Opie & Jim listeners which were a fraction of O&A's audience to begin with. Now he's not even on the radio at all so he's relying solely on his stand up gigs and his youtube channel.

Nice career trajectory, stupid.

 

[Jim Norton Bug Chaser]

The AIDS is full blown.

 

[WhereWeAt]

As career military I see this all the time. A lot of these guys have had very successful careers, traveled all over the world and retire as O5 or above. On the low end before disability claims, that's a $70k/yr pension minimum that they collect the day they retire. 1.5x what the average American makes just for waking up in the morning and that pay starts in your mid-40s and adjusts for inflation.

But they can't keep their dicks to themselves or married too young, so they lose half of that in the divorce. So now they're stuck working a desk job they hate until a few years before they die.

Or even better, I've heard of guys who do 18 years, then go to the airlines just to prevent the ex from getting the pension. Based and PFG if you ask me.
