Summary

Mark Norman joins Neal Brennan to discuss the "I Wish I Knew" premise, reflecting on his early career struggles, including using antipsychotics for sleep and performing street exercises. They explore how fatherhood has curbed his drinking and anxiety, while also critiquing the modern comedy landscape dominated by social media, political division, and the loss of organic, in-person camaraderie. Norman shares anecdotes from his wild New Orleans youth and contrasts today's digital culture with the raw, supportive dynamics of the 90s stand-up scene.
