To Theo's younger fans who don't know Opie & Anthony show. Immediatly pause this and listen to Jim Norton's laugh compilation from O&A, and "Jim Norton Hates Everything" it's only 10 hours edit: And Jocktobers, Parice O'Neil hates Asians and worst of Uncle Paul
“Norton is shaped like any container you pour him in”. -Patrice O’Neal
A lot of respect for Jim. He doesn't take anything personal, super cool in a world full of people sensitive about everything. I hope one day to be so unbothered.
Jim is an authentic person. Nothing fake or ostentatious about him. Humble, truthful. He's really grown on me like some weird bald fungus.
I’ve always loved Jim because he is a complete degenerate, but also an honest and wholesome person. It sounds confusing but I’m sure others agree?
The reason everyone loves jim is because he lacks pretense and is completely honest.
Jim Norton is officially the world's oldest fetus.
