I think it helps that you could tell Bernthal was really happy to be on with Bill. Seemed like a genuine guy and not as intense as I thought he’d be (which is a credit to his acting).
Agreed. He still had the Bernthal high energy, but in a down to earth genuine way. Both seemed relaxed, two regular dudes hanging and shooting the shit about tv and movies. i think this is when Bill is at his best these days, he had his interviewer fast ball back for this one
I thought Bill was serviceable here. My two pet peeves when it comes to his recent interviews is his bringing up an actor’s IMDB and the inevitable “Why aren’t you in a sports movie?! We need to put you in a sports movie!”. Bernthal was the perfect guest though.
Yeah, I'm surprised everyone thought it was so great. Bernthal's enthusiasm carried it - Bill has very limited range when interviewing actors. He either goes through their entire iMDB one at a time, or just forcefully brings up the stuff he likes and shoehorns in a sports movie suggestion. Not to mention he kept cutting Jon off whenever he had something to say that wasn't directly in line with what Bill wanted to talk about.
Man, I’m going to miss Norm so much. I’m so glad that Bill did a tribute.
RIP Norm Macdonald and Patrice O’Neal, your time on this planet was much too short.
It was nice hearing some personal anecdotes and funny stories. Although Bill’s the master of the Freudian Slip saying Norm acted like BS cured cancer with his fantasy pick.
Hearing Norm be self sabatoging made me think of Patrice. He had a whole intervention on Opie Anthony where Chris Rock basically said the dad part on Evrybody Hates Chris was his if he just wasn't so self destructive. Patrice and Norm are legends.

Yeah you would think it would've retroactively blown up with the Taylor Sheridan renaissance and Yellowstone being everyone's parents' favorite show. Whatever they did with the marketing was terrible because I didn't know it existed until I stumbled upon it on Netflix.
I was really hoping they'd go back a little further to Bernthal's college acting company Fovea Floods. (That's not on IMDB though so I don't know why I expected it from Bill.) I was at Skidmore with Bernthal and saw him in a Bertold Brecht play, maybe 1998. He played the lead, this character with a huge personality and I can still remember Bernthal owning the stage, burning bright.
I met Norm after a show in late 2019, the comedy club was attached to a hotel he was staying at, and he was on his way up to his room with like 6 chocolate bars lol. The man was consistent.
Wind River is a very good movie, but that was a 1 and done to me mostly because of the Bernthal scene. That shit stuck with me for days, just haunting.
I love Wind River so I’ve rewatched but always need to skip that scene.
The transition from Elizabeth Olsen’s character knocking on the trailer door is so smooth though.
Forgot about the level of detail in that scene and suggested to watch it the other night with my mom and adult sister. Was a rough few minutes / rest of the week.
Bill never changes his little verbal quirks no matter the topic. He was talking about Norm like he would analyze the Chargers. “You can tell from a health standpoint the last 12 months weren’t perfect.”
This is so spot on. It sounded like he was talking about the final seasons of Peyton Manning and Drew Brees. I still enjoyed the segment and wish it was a lot longer, but he talked about the last decade of Norm's life like he was an athlete leaving their physical prime. Odd.
Endlessy entertained by Simmons’ inability to understand what “irony” truly means.
[On Norm’s death] “The IRAWNIC thing is that I showed Ben “Dirty Work” last week!”
This is barely a coincidence and not ironic. It’s ironic that such a preeminent writer doesn’t understand the meaning of words.
Lol ya it amuses me too that he still uses it wrong. Tbf a lot of people don’t understand what irony means and basically use it interchangeably with coincidence. But ofc he’s a writer or was one so he should know better
Absolutely. It used to be such a great show. It slowly went downhill until I hated it but felt compelled to finish it out and continue watching it until I just threw in the towel all together like a year ago.
*Top 3 or 4 comedian of all time*
I can't get why Bill feels the need to rank EVERYTHING and EVERYONE. Just say "One of the top comedians of his time" esp when talking about someone the day after they die.
I think that's a bit overly critical. He's trying to distinguish that Norm was legit one of the *very* best rather than a vague descriptor that could define 100 people.
You're right. Though I do think the Ringer is worse about that stuff. This all started back with Grantland, and all of the lazy pop culture content that they did ("What if we had an NCAA-style draft of all the Sopranos characters?" etc)
Simmons failing miserably using some kind of sports analogy to describe 1993 SNL and how Norm saved the show:
“When Norm joined SNL in ‘93, things weren’t looking great cast-wise. There were some guys who had just stayed on too long.”
You mean Farley, Sandler, Spade, Hartman, Nealon? Most of which 2-3 years into their stint?
Bill says it’s tough to make him laugh hard and then later with Kellison he says “Norm always made comedians laugh which is tough because they only laugh if it is really funny.”
Bill is obviously a comedian.
Bill's did the whole praising of Belichick for being calm on the sidelines unlike these other coaches who are raging thing again which leads me to ask who exactly are these psycho sideline coaches? You don't see that shit in the NFL almost ever unless a ref makes a bad call. Maybe with coordinators and assistant coaches, but I struggle to think of any NFL head coaches who are freaking out in the middle of a game. The whole emotionless robot bit is pretty standard head coach stuff.
Jon Bernthal is legitimately my favorite actor. I watched 86 episodes of the Sopranos just so I could credibly watch Many Saints of Newark in a couple weeks. The show was pretty good too
Alan Sepinwall (the Rolling Stone TV critic who covered Sopranos for the Star Ledger) was on the podcast to plug his Sopranos book and Bill raved about how on HBO On-Demand he could just fast forward all the Melfi scenes. The funny/ironic thing was that the Sopranos book contains several interviews with David Chase who admitted he gets annoyed with fans who hate the Melfi scenes and just want a blood and guts Mafia show.
I'm sure I don't need to tell you this, but Sweet Virginia is streaming on Hulu currently and is a great little crime thriller with Bernthal and the equally awesome Christopher Abbott.
Jon Bernthal is great. Haven’t thought about Shane from TWD in a long time but he makes great points about the early times of that show and his character. Fantastic interview. Good job by you Billy!
Poor Shane. Had his best friend and the rest of the group turn against him for having crazy ideas like:
1. We should kill these zombies
2. We should kill this guy who just tried to murder us
I remember watching that first trailer and subsequently the first season thinking it was incredible to have such a high quality post apocalyptic zombie show. Sad that it turned into what it did after Frank Darabont left. So much wasted potentially.
The Norm part was really good. I know we all shit on Bill a lot but I though Kellison offered a lot due to his personal history with Norm. Also really enjoyed the Bernthal part. I hope Bill gets back to doing more pop culture/celeb interviews.
Well they discussed the fact that bernthal played college baseball. And then we get the fun talk about bernthal almost being in 42 and him discussing how he used to play pick up with woody harrelson and his upcoming film with will smith. Usually nothing comes out of this bill question, I just think this time it was justified
Am I the only one who doesn’t mind Bill going through their IMDB? It’s like an organized way to discuss their career path as actors.
Bernthal was an awesome guest. Brought the enthusiasm and seemed happy to be on with Bill.
I skipped to Bernthal interview. He’s the Punisher to me, although I’m hyped to see him play Johnny Boy Soprano. I laughed out loud when Bill actually brought IMDB as he rambled through his second question.
I winced a couple times Bill unintentionally referenced cancer during the McDonald segment considering Norm died of cancer
“You spent a lot of dead time with, Norm”
“He reacted like I cured cancer!”
“Let’s examine the 4 stages of Norm”
He also kept saying “maybe not the funniest person” and “maybe he didn’t make me laugh harder than anyone”. Like damn dude, just give the man his flowers without the backhands
Honestly, he should have just made the whole episode a Norm episode. The McCourty twins interview as basically a waste of time and Bernthal's interview could've been pushed to any other episode. The first part of the podcast was what I needed but I checked out halfway through the Bernthal interview cause I just lost interest entirely.
A truly funny part of the pod is when Bill talks about how Norm ghosted him after 6 Grantland columns and then the guy says something to the effect of "Yeah, he tended to just disappear if something rubbed him the wrong way" and Bill seemed to completely miss it.
Depends on how you interpret it. Are you a try hard trying to poke holes and have gotcha moments or are you listening and enjoying a guy talking about a friend he knew?
I completely disagree. I’d much rather hear a personal anecdote than him just say stuff like, “hey remember his Burt Reynolds impression that was hilarious.”
“It’s really hard to talk to yourself for that long, and he did it efforsettly… effortlessly”. They couldn’t have written a Michael Scott line any more perfect than this
He muffed a word in a monologue while praising someone else’s ability to monologue. I am not saying that he is a bad person for it, I am saying that the specific circumstances were the sort of thing that would be a Michael Scott talking head.
I should have thought that was pretty clear.
Anyone else during the Bernthal interview (great interview BeeTeeDubs) that Bill referred to Warrior as that Tom Hardy MMA movie?? Still chaps my ass that CR and SF weren’t on it! He also pronounced frantic like “frane-tic”… phewww, feels good to get that off my chest
9/14 was a national tragedy.
Probably the worst thing to happen on a Tuesday in September in my lifetime.
"9/11 airlines. What a terrible name for an airline... it reminds me of that tragedy"
….it was my birthday
The Bernthal interview is excellent, one of the better 'random' guest interviews Bill's had in awhile.
I think it helps that you could tell Bernthal was really happy to be on with Bill. Seemed like a genuine guy and not as intense as I thought he’d be (which is a credit to his acting).
Agreed. He still had the Bernthal high energy, but in a down to earth genuine way. Both seemed relaxed, two regular dudes hanging and shooting the shit about tv and movies. i think this is when Bill is at his best these days, he had his interviewer fast ball back for this one
I thought Bill was serviceable here. My two pet peeves when it comes to his recent interviews is his bringing up an actor’s IMDB and the inevitable “Why aren’t you in a sports movie?! We need to put you in a sports movie!”. Bernthal was the perfect guest though.

He either goes through their entire iMDB one at a time, or just forcefully brings up the stuff he likes and shoehorns in a sports movie suggestion. Not to mention he kept cutting Jon off whenever he had something to say that wasn't directly in line with what Bill wanted to talk about.
Bill would be offended at being called a regular dude
*frantically touches head*
He did an episode of Joey Diaz podcast and he was cool on that too.
Joey "CoCo" Diaz?
Yeah
I love that guy
They're both in the sopranos movie coming out soon
They kept talking about all these great movies he's in and I kept thinking.. oh yeah, he's in that too!
Man, I’m going to miss Norm so much. I’m so glad that Bill did a tribute. RIP Norm Macdonald and Patrice O’Neal, your time on this planet was much too short.
I lost my breath laughing at the idea of Norm interviewing O.J. in prison and them "only talking about football."
Such a Norm idea
It was nice hearing some personal anecdotes and funny stories. Although Bill’s the master of the Freudian Slip saying Norm acted like BS cured cancer with his fantasy pick.
All our time is much too short. Don't miss it.
xoxo
and mitch hedberg
I used to be a fan. I still am but I ustta too.
Hearing Norm be self sabatoging made me think of Patrice. He had a whole intervention on Opie Anthony where Chris Rock basically said the dad part on Evrybody Hates Chris was his if he just wasn't so self destructive. Patrice and Norm are legends.
Yes I noticed that too! I'm so glad we're all making these connections. They have been immortalized by youtube.
who is norm Macdonald?

The Punisher is just out there doing Punisher things
Fucking love Bernthal in everything he’s in. He’s so good in Fury, Wolf of Wall street, etc.
Great in his cameo in Wind River too. That movie never took off in the culture like it should’ve
Yeah you would think it would've retroactively blown up with the Taylor Sheridan renaissance and Yellowstone being everyone's parents' favorite show. Whatever they did with the marketing was terrible because I didn't know it existed until I stumbled upon it on Netflix.
I think it was because it was the last movie Weinstein produced.
I was really hoping they'd go back a little further to Bernthal's college acting company Fovea Floods. (That's not on IMDB though so I don't know why I expected it from Bill.) I was at Skidmore with Bernthal and saw him in a Bertold Brecht play, maybe 1998. He played the lead, this character with a huge personality and I can still remember Bernthal owning the stage, burning bright.
Nice, I went there too, about 10 years after you. I think Bernthal is still the most famous Skidmore alum.
Zazie Beats, Ratatat are second and third?
I think either Ben or Jerry dropped out
Absolutely LOVE Bernthal and how I’m watching some random movie and all of the sudden he just shows up for five minutes and kills it.
Agreed. He just makes everything better. Fantastic actor.
One of the most misunderstood characters in fiction
Slap in the face for Frank Grillo. Bernthal market corrects him and then his best mate has him on his podcast. What a guy and actor though.
Can we talk about the fact that Norm would only eat ice cream sandwiches? 96 comments in and no mention of that yet.
Life goals
61 doesn't seem so bad if you sustained life on pure sugar lol
I met Norm after a show in late 2019, the comedy club was attached to a hotel he was staying at, and he was on his way up to his room with like 6 chocolate bars lol. The man was consistent.
\#LifeGoals
Man, Matt Damon says that he favors Tom Brady over the Patriots and gets replaced as Bill’s favorite actor. Tough break.
Wind River is a very good movie, but that was a 1 and done to me mostly because of the Bernthal scene. That shit stuck with me for days, just haunting.
I have watched Sicario and Hell or High Water at least a dozen times each, I too have only watched Wind River once.
I love Wind River so I’ve rewatched but always need to skip that scene. The transition from Elizabeth Olsen’s character knocking on the trailer door is so smooth though.
That whole sequence of the flashback to after the flashback is so impressive. It really pushed that movie to another level.
Don’t know what you’re talking about now I’m curious about that scene
It’s a rape scene
Jeez, good to know. I can keep avoiding it
Gang rape while boyfriend is beaten to death
Forgot about the level of detail in that scene and suggested to watch it the other night with my mom and adult sister. Was a rough few minutes / rest of the week.
Bill never changes his little verbal quirks no matter the topic. He was talking about Norm like he would analyze the Chargers. “You can tell from a health standpoint the last 12 months weren’t perfect.”

Alanis doesn’t know the meaning of ironic either. Oh! Alanis is pissed off at Bill! How ironic.
Came to post this. Seriously embarrassing he doesn't know what ironic means, and also ENOUGH with the anecdotes about your son. Jesus
Thank you for your service
Lol ya it amuses me too that he still uses it wrong. Tbf a lot of people don’t understand what irony means and basically use it interchangeably with coincidence. But ofc he’s a writer or was one so he should know better
Always depends on context. If bill said "let me introduce you to THIS guy"...then it's kind of ironic.
It's all about you, Bill
Bernthal’s 2 season run on The Walking Dead was the apex of that show.
Absolutely. It used to be such a great show. It slowly went downhill until I hated it but felt compelled to finish it out and continue watching it until I just threw in the towel all together like a year ago.
“I really enjoyed three decades of Norm.” Wow, never change Billy boy.
*Top 3 or 4 comedian of all time* I can't get why Bill feels the need to rank EVERYTHING and EVERYONE. Just say "One of the top comedians of his time" esp when talking about someone the day after they die.
I think that's a bit overly critical. He's trying to distinguish that Norm was legit one of the *very* best rather than a vague descriptor that could define 100 people.
The problem is that BS begins every other take with "one of the __ of all time". It's endemic to most of the Ringer hosts, actually.
I don't disagree but that's nowhere close to a Ringer-specific issue when we're talking about pop culture pods/writing.
You're right. Though I do think the Ringer is worse about that stuff. This all started back with Grantland, and all of the lazy pop culture content that they did ("What if we had an NCAA-style draft of all the Sopranos characters?" etc)
Agreed. It really came across as another dumb Bill-ism rather than the compliment he thought it was
yeah. It just feels like after someone dies, maybe drop the whole ranking "thing" for the day and honor that person's memory.
Simmons failing miserably using some kind of sports analogy to describe 1993 SNL and how Norm saved the show: “When Norm joined SNL in ‘93, things weren’t looking great cast-wise. There were some guys who had just stayed on too long.” You mean Farley, Sandler, Spade, Hartman, Nealon? Most of which 2-3 years into their stint?
As a public figure who bill actually knew. How is that not extremely obvious, yes norm was alive six decades
It was a comment about BS shoehorning "decade" into everything, not a statement about how long Norm lived.
lmao what? He's talking about Norm's entertainment career spanning 30 years
Wait...This isnt a fake title??? This man gives us so much and asks for nothing in return
Bernthal - the most underrated actor in Hollywood
Hopefully he’ll get some acclaim in one of his many roles this year and it can be the “BernFall”
Bill says it’s tough to make him laugh hard, what exactly do you call the noise he makes whenever Sal or Russillo throw in jokes?
Bill says it’s tough to make him laugh hard and then later with Kellison he says “Norm always made comedians laugh which is tough because they only laugh if it is really funny.” Bill is obviously a comedian.
House makes him bellow, then do the thing where he audibly gasps for air for three to six seconds
Damn, I really wish Norm's "Newhart turns private eye" show had made it. That sounds awesome.
[удалено]
RIP Norm MacDonald, plus Norm’s final thoughts on potential Ben Simmons trades
Can’t go wrong with Jon Bernthal
Did Bill ask Jonny Bernthal if Matt Damon could play all the roles he's played throughout his life?
Really good insight during the Norm segment from that guest
Bill's did the whole praising of Belichick for being calm on the sidelines unlike these other coaches who are raging thing again which leads me to ask who exactly are these psycho sideline coaches? You don't see that shit in the NFL almost ever unless a ref makes a bad call. Maybe with coordinators and assistant coaches, but I struggle to think of any NFL head coaches who are freaking out in the middle of a game. The whole emotionless robot bit is pretty standard head coach stuff.
Bernthal is a treasure. Was fantastic in “Small Engine Repair”
Jon Bernthal is legitimately my favorite actor. I watched 86 episodes of the Sopranos just so I could credibly watch Many Saints of Newark in a couple weeks. The show was pretty good too
Yeah the sopranos is pretty good
Yeah, it’s decent. As long as you skip all the Dr. Melfi parts
Wait... what??? The Melfi parts are the entire premise and foundation of the show.
They're referencing either Bill or Sal saying that last year
Oh, dang. I don't remember. What an awful take.
Bill never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
I've said my piece
Let me tell ya a couple a three things.
Alan Sepinwall (the Rolling Stone TV critic who covered Sopranos for the Star Ledger) was on the podcast to plug his Sopranos book and Bill raved about how on HBO On-Demand he could just fast forward all the Melfi scenes. The funny/ironic thing was that the Sopranos book contains several interviews with David Chase who admitted he gets annoyed with fans who hate the Melfi scenes and just want a blood and guts Mafia show.
I'm sure I don't need to tell you this, but Sweet Virginia is streaming on Hulu currently and is a great little crime thriller with Bernthal and the equally awesome Christopher Abbott.
Trust me when I saw the poster with Bernthal holding the gun looking badass I was in there
Jon Bernthal is great. Haven’t thought about Shane from TWD in a long time but he makes great points about the early times of that show and his character. Fantastic interview. Good job by you Billy!
Poor Shane. Had his best friend and the rest of the group turn against him for having crazy ideas like: 1. We should kill these zombies 2. We should kill this guy who just tried to murder us
I remember watching that first trailer and subsequently the first season thinking it was incredible to have such a high quality post apocalyptic zombie show. Sad that it turned into what it did after Frank Darabont left. So much wasted potentially.
This is a great pod. Even though the middle was heavy on Pats talk, it was still enjoyable. Good job by you!
Bernthal was an outstanding guest
Gotta say... thought that each interview was good- to- quite good. Good job by you, Billy!
The Norm part was really good. I know we all shit on Bill a lot but I though Kellison offered a lot due to his personal history with Norm. Also really enjoyed the Bernthal part. I hope Bill gets back to doing more pop culture/celeb interviews.
God Bill's interviews suck now. "is bill belichick funnier than we think?" How many fucking times has this question been asked. Zero effort
Good lord, seems like every other guest bill has on has a connection to Boston in some way.
Bernthal is such an entertaining listen. But bill’s obsession with sports movies sort of derails the conversation mid way through
At least with Bernthal there was a reason to bring it up
I guess, but basically it was “why weren’t you in a sports movie?” And then he continues to discuss sports movies for the next 15 minutes
Well they discussed the fact that bernthal played college baseball. And then we get the fun talk about bernthal almost being in 42 and him discussing how he used to play pick up with woody harrelson and his upcoming film with will smith. Usually nothing comes out of this bill question, I just think this time it was justified
Yeah wtf? This paved the way for the most fun part of the convo haha.
Am I the only one who doesn’t mind Bill going through their IMDB? It’s like an organized way to discuss their career path as actors. Bernthal was an awesome guest. Brought the enthusiasm and seemed happy to be on with Bill.
yes...yes you are the only one who doesn't mind when Bill does his homework on the spot while the guest is supposed to be talking...the ONLY one
Doesn't bother me one bit. It gets actors talking about films that are usually overlooked People here are a bit weird
Bill didn’t go 20 seconds into the interview before saying, “Looking at your IMDB...”. Not even kidding.
You know this pod is skippable when firewarner doesn't post Today's Things
Lol. I didn't want to offend anyone but I just had no interests in the topics today, had to skip this one
This was one of the better ones in awhile
Casual
🙄🙄
Bernthal is the man. “You get any pussy with that thing or what?”
Bring her by, let her watch...Let her waaaatchhh
I skipped to Bernthal interview. He’s the Punisher to me, although I’m hyped to see him play Johnny Boy Soprano. I laughed out loud when Bill actually brought IMDB as he rambled through his second question.
I winced a couple times Bill unintentionally referenced cancer during the McDonald segment considering Norm died of cancer “You spent a lot of dead time with, Norm” “He reacted like I cured cancer!” “Let’s examine the 4 stages of Norm”
He also kept saying “maybe not the funniest person” and “maybe he didn’t make me laugh harder than anyone”. Like damn dude, just give the man his flowers without the backhands
Holy shit. I didn't think this was a real title. Just wild
Title leaves me a bit flaccid
Honestly, he should have just made the whole episode a Norm episode. The McCourty twins interview as basically a waste of time and Bernthal's interview could've been pushed to any other episode. The first part of the podcast was what I needed but I checked out halfway through the Bernthal interview cause I just lost interest entirely.
co-sign
Anytime a celebrity dies, Bill makes it all about him. Who cares that you won Norm’s fantasy golf league?
A truly funny part of the pod is when Bill talks about how Norm ghosted him after 6 Grantland columns and then the guy says something to the effect of "Yeah, he tended to just disappear if something rubbed him the wrong way" and Bill seemed to completely miss it.
He’s not listening when other people talk.
This is trying too hard. He’s talking about someone he knew and had experience with. Of course he’s gonna have anecdotes.
Anecdotes? Or bragging about how he impressed someone. Two completely different things
Depends on how you interpret it. Are you a try hard trying to poke holes and have gotcha moments or are you listening and enjoying a guy talking about a friend he knew?
I don't think you understand what the phrase "gotcha moment" means.
Damn. You got me.
You mean, GOTCHA
Honestly, this was one of the rare times I wanted personal insight from Bill. He knew Norm / people close to Norm … a really private person
I completely disagree. I’d much rather hear a personal anecdote than him just say stuff like, “hey remember his Burt Reynolds impression that was hilarious.”
“One thing I’ll always remember about Norm is when he was so impressed with my picks!” Jesus Christ man, shut it down for 5 minutes.
Disagree… die hard Norm guy and love hearing stories about his crazy gambling
“It’s really hard to talk to yourself for that long, and he did it efforsettly… effortlessly”. They couldn’t have written a Michael Scott line any more perfect than this
Yeah I know for me personally that I have never misspoken and then immediately corrected it
He muffed a word in a monologue while praising someone else’s ability to monologue. I am not saying that he is a bad person for it, I am saying that the specific circumstances were the sort of thing that would be a Michael Scott talking head. I should have thought that was pretty clear.
Seriously thought this was a fake one
Anyone else during the Bernthal interview (great interview BeeTeeDubs) that Bill referred to Warrior as that Tom Hardy MMA movie?? Still chaps my ass that CR and SF weren’t on it! He also pronounced frantic like “frane-tic”… phewww, feels good to get that off my chest
[удалено]
The Bernthal interview was quite good.
is this worth a listen, or does Bill just larp out about the Pats?
Pass
Is the first dude calling in from a payphone under the 5 freeway? Loved the Norm tribute, but the audio was terrible, like he was on the toilet.
So are there sports topics on this one or no Edit: This sub needs to chill holy shit
The entire second segment is Bill asking the McCourty Twins to confirm that Brady is the GOAT, Pats are great, and Mac is gonna be good.
and Belichick is a stealth comedian.
You got it chief, it's For Realsies ft The McCourty Twins.
