Mark Normand
Yeah, we cannot drink. But everybody's like, I'm sober now. I can't do the show.
Sam Morril
I remember we really wanted Hank Azaria on the podcast. Cause we, you know, obviously Simpsons guys.
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Sam Morril
Big time. Big time sober. And not only that, they're like, it's gonna piss off our people if we do it. And we're just like, so, yeah, you don't have to drink on this. That's how we're opening the show with Tan France.
Tan France
You should make that more clear to
Sam Morril
PR people we said might be drunk.
Mark Normand
Yeah, that's good point.
Sam Morril
We didn't say definitely.
Mark Normand
That's a good point.
Sam Morril
It could happen.
Mark Normand
Oh, Delhi boy. Like New Delhi.
Tan France
No.
Mark Normand
Oh. Oh, sorry.
Sam Morril
Not everything is a pun mark.
Mark Normand
I saw Indian guys, to be fair. That would be fun.
Tan France
When I said I was at Delhi Boys, my mom assumed it was New Delhi.
Sam Morril
Okay. No, but we know Asif Ali and.
Tan France
And I think the other guy's called Saga. And. Yeah, those two together are amazing. And then the woman on the right, you don't. If you don't know who she is, she is one of the greatest comedy actresses. She's on a show called Never have I Ever, and she's fucking fantastic on it.
Sam Morril
And it's on Hulu, right? The show. Okay, I'm gonna check it out.
Tan France
Such a good show.
Mark Normand
Great hair on Indians. It's unbelievable.
Tan France
I know. And then you have great hair.
Sam Morril
You got good.
Tan France
It's a little fucked right now. Yeah, I just had to get it bleached.
Sam Morril
I didn't mean to say. Yeah, right after you said that, I'm like, yeah, it's fucked up.
Tan France
No, it's fucked up right now. I just got a bleach, which is crazy. It's yellow right now, so please don't notice that it's yellow.
Mark Normand
I didn't notice till you said, don't lie. All right. It's got a little Hitler going.
Tan France
It sure does.
Sam Morril
New Deli. Oh, no, sorry. Deli Boys. Now you got in my head.
Mark Normand
New deli should run with New Deli in there.
Sam Morril
Well, you say a New Deli Boy season, you're like, ah, yeah. New Deli Boys.
Mark Normand
New Deli Boys. She's hot.
Tan France
Yeah, she's wonderful.
Sam Morril
So, yeah, I mean, we. We met, like, years ago because I. First off, should we talk?
Tan France
Are we going?
Mark Normand
Yeah, we're going.
Tan France
Okay. I was just saying to. My bubble says, we've never talked about this. When we first met, I thought, oh, this guy fucking hates me. So we met.
Sam Morril
I get that a lot.
Tan France
Yeah. See, I brace Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon.
Sam Morril
Do you remember Fallon?
Tan France
Fallon. We were backstage. I was going on. Your girlfriend at the time was going on. And I. I've dated a lot of
Sam Morril
comedians
Tan France
and I knew her, so. But I never met her. So I went back to say hello and you were there and I was a fan of yours. I was like, oh, my go. I love your work. And you couldn't have been more awkward.
Sam Morril
Really?
Tan France
Oh my God. Couldn't be more awkward. And then I went back to my green room and I was like, that guy's obviously homophobic.
Sam Morril
Really? Holy shit.
Tan France
Because I knew it wasn't my fault because I'm nice as fuck. And I was like, it can't be any damn. The only thing he had to go on is he's gotta be homophobic. And then you messaged and I was like, ah, he's not homophobic.
Sam Morril
No, it's my face that's even worse. I'd rather be homophobic. I can change that. I can't change my face.
Tan France
I think you were just high as fucking. You just didn't know how.
Sam Morril
I just thought, well, you know what it was. You were talking to her and I didn't want to like, take her moment' cause I knew she was a fan of yours. So I think I was kinda pulling back a little. But yeah, the second you left, I was like, I fucking love that guy. Cause we had watched. I wasn't. I'll be honest, I wasn't gonna turn on Queer Eye on my own, but she would put it on and I was like, this is fucking good. And you were my favorite.
Tan France
Oh, that's nice.
Sam Morril
And I love the hair guy too. Jonathan. I like him too. But no, but you guys were like the two guys. Like, ah, I like when your segments would pop up.
Tan France
Thanks, man.
Sam Morril
And yeah, man.
Mark Normand
No, it's like, that's funny, cuz he walked away and told me that you were anti Semitic.
Tan France
He was right. Read. But dude.
Sam Morril
No, but that show, I think I. I think I messaged something like, oh, no, you. I think you guys like that positivity. The world is so negative. I was like, that positivity is needed.
Mark Normand
Yeah, man.
Tan France
Yeah. Yeah, you. Afterwards, you were so nice. And then we ended up hanging out.
Sam Morril
Yeah, no, we hung a few times. Yeah.
Tan France
Okay.
Mark Normand
Wow. I'm not up on the new cat. These guys are way hotter than the old cat, so. Because I used to watch it when it was new back in the day.
Tan France
So there's a new guy. His name is Jeremiah and he is very handsome. Yeah.
Mark Normand
With the Arms.
Tan France
Yeah.
Mark Normand
Pull up the old cast because they were a couple of.
Tan France
You're ridiculous.
Mark Normand
A couple of real slobs. No, I'm just kidding. I used to love that show.
Sam Morril
It's a good show.
Tan France
Yeah.
Mark Normand
Especially for straight guys. We don't know what the hell is going on. So we're like, oh, there we go. Look at these other.
Tan France
Speaking of straight guys not going on. That's how we really start to connect. Sam will every now and then send me pictures of clothes and say, what do you think? And so I give my.
Sam Morril
It'd be for specials. And I was like, look, it's one thing I look like shit on, like, in, like, a comedy club.
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Sam Morril
But if I'm taping this forever, I was like, dude, what do I do?
Tan France
Yeah.
Sam Morril
So I would hit him up, and I'd be like, what do you think about this jacket? And he'd be like, oh, yeah.
Mark Normand
He.
Tan France
I'm pretty honest about it.
Sam Morril
Very honest.
Mark Normand
Oh, mama.
Tan France
Wait, did you just shoot it already?
Sam Morril
We shot that one. That was in Tampa.
Tan France
Yeah.
Sam Morril
Every special, I hit him up. So if I. If I don't look like shit, it's because of this guy.
Mark Normand
That's a beauty. Except for the face. I know.
Tan France
Every time he sends me pictures, I'm like, yeah, the outfit looks great.
Sam Morril
He just sends me a plastic surgery link. I'm like, oh, okay. I don't know.
Mark Normand
But I do remember that Netflix special, that one.
Tan France
And I'm amazing.
Mark Normand
I remember being like, well, you leveled up. Something's different about you. It was a damn jacket.
Sam Morril
Because he said. Because I said, I kind of like how Elliot Gould looks in the 70s with, like, those kind of. Of cool, like, corduroy suede jackets. And you're like, you gave me a link. And I was like, oh, I just bought the jacket you sent me to
Tan France
get so good in it. I was happy with that.
Mark Normand
That was different. Cause we're all wearing bomber jackets and jeans throughout the years. I know.
Tan France
And I really wanted to talk to you about it. That's actually why I'm here. This is an intervention.
Mark Normand
But there is a fine line with comedy where you don't want to be too snazzy.
Tan France
That's what I say.
Mark Normand
Takes away.
Tan France
That's what I say. So that was my issue with him. I was like, you don't want to become a different person. Otherwise, it's distracting. And there are certain people. I'm like, who are you? Like, I don't know that version of you. You've never looked like that. Why would you look like that.
Sam Morril
Like, they went too big. You think?
Tan France
Yeah, man. And so they.
Sam Morril
What is it, like a suit or something?
Tan France
Actually, it's not the men. It's often the women. I'm like, you've got, like, a nightclub dress on, but you're just like a regular girl who doesn't dress like that. You're a jeans and T shirt kind of.
Sam Morril
Right. That's why I always like how Sarah Silverman looked. I always thought she kind of, like, dressed, like, tomboyish, I love. But it worked for her.
Tan France
Yeah, I love it because it's not distracting. You're like, oh, no, I'm not. This shouldn't be a fashion show. I don't need you to get me a look. Look. I just want to focus on what you're talking about. Also, they shouldn't look too. Like, none of you should look too hot. It's distracting.
Mark Normand
Agreed.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Tan France
You guys are safe. You're fine.
Mark Normand
I got a million. Okay, so this is a bad look. This is a straight white guy trying to look. This is a corporate gig, I assume.
Tan France
Yeah, it's a lot.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Tan France
What. What.
Sam Morril
What am I doing wrong here? Right? I was on something called, I think, AOL Build. This was press.
Tan France
Everyone did AOL Build at some point.
Sam Morril
It was fun. The interview was great, actually. She was awesome.
Tan France
But, you know, it's not far off. My main issue is the shoe. I know that that sounds insane. The rest of it, I can make my piece with Tuck in the shirt somehow. Yeah,
Mark Normand
yeah. White guys love a baby blue button down. Every white guy has one.
Sam Morril
Yeah, we're scared to express ourselves.
Mark Normand
Now, that's a cool look. Uh. Oh, he hasn't spoken.
Tan France
Oh, no, no. I really like that. No, no, I've got no issues whatsoever.
Sam Morril
It's an 80s Knicks jacket, by the way. Stop. I get taggedness all the time saying, I didn't know you were a Mets fan. That's a Knicks jacket from the 80s.
Mark Normand
Oh, that fooled me, too.
Sam Morril
EBay.
Tan France
EBay fits like, I'd love to join in the conversation. I have no idea what you're talking about.
Sam Morril
Oh, here we go.
Mark Normand
Now that's a good face.
Tan France
Not angry at that as you. You look actually, you look really handsome.
Sam Morril
There was a gay guy in front of me, so I looked that way.
Tan France
That's how we look at each other.
Mark Normand
You're right.
Tan France
We stare a lot.
Sam Morril
No, that was. I was. That was like, let me go. As simple as possible.
Mark Normand
Yes. That's a slick jacket.
Tan France
I mean, I wish he had gone for a black or a white, but Other than that.
Sam Morril
A black shirt.
Tan France
Yeah.
Sam Morril
Really black on black.
Tan France
I just don't love that version of a burgundy.
Mark Normand
Got it personal.
Sam Morril
That's fair. This was during COVID I was trying to be funny.
Mark Normand
I'm eating here.
Sam Morril
Kenny Powers.
Tan France
J6. Good Lord. Wow, wow, wow. I didn't know you were so patriotic.
Sam Morril
It was a joke. But yeah, a lot of people took this seriously.
Mark Normand
Man.
Sam Morril
I should have done more push ups before this picture. You really shouldn't rock one of those without even as a joke. You're like, yeah, this is not funny. It's kind of sa.
Mark Normand
They call this cuck dynasty.
Tan France
They are definitely the shoulders of someone who's never even walked past a gym.
Sam Morril
Yeah, pretty bad. When are we going to Mark? How long is this gonna be on me Long list.
Mark Normand
That's Boo's face too, if I've ever seen it. Look at that.
Sam Morril
That was winter. Clearly I'm layered up.
Tan France
Do you know what? That's my favorite one so far.
Sam Morril
Is it because layers are good.
Tan France
Layers are really good. And you look really handsome.
Mark Normand
What? Look at that guy.
Tan France
I think you look really handsome.
Mark Normand
All right.
Sam Morril
I look goofy.
Mark Normand
Look a little bloated.
Sam Morril
I am a little bloated.
Mark Normand
But mine's coming. Don't worry.
Sam Morril
Yeah, I can't wait for you. Let's give Mark a shot.
Mark Normand
Oh, God.
Tan France
Oh, here we go. Enjoy.
Mark Normand
All right.
Tan France
You called him. Blow it.
Mark Normand
I was literally ill here. I had a.
Sam Morril
You look like you were discovered at
Mark Normand
the bottom of the pool.
Tan France
What illness does that?
Mark Normand
It comes from eating ass.
Sam Morril
Wow.
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Sam Morril
Who's asked to eat Lizzo?
Tan France
Look at me.
Mark Normand
Yeah, I had H. Pylori, but they made me shoot. I couldn't get out of it, so.
Sam Morril
Jesus Christ.
Mark Normand
I was bloated. It was a water weight or something. All right. This would be on New Year's.
Sam Morril
That's not bad.
Tan France
I can accept that.
Sam Morril
It's fun.
Mark Normand
Yeah. Okay. Take that jackets from us.
Tan France
Actually. That's great.
Sam Morril
That's before Fallon.
Mark Normand
Yeah. Suits.
Sam Morril
I remember the set.
Mark Normand
Yeah, that's me being extra homophobic. Right.
Sam Morril
Suits of supply is like a safe space for straight guys.
Mark Normand
Totally.
Tan France
I like a suit supply.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Tan France
You look great.
Mark Normand
Oh, thanks. Oh, this is me as a 13 year old skateboarder.
Sam Morril
Is that Bart Simpson?
Mark Normand
I embrace this. I'm getting old, but I could still. Still kick it around.
Sam Morril
Tony Hawk shouted him out on a podcast as being a good skateboarder.
Mark Normand
Whoa.
Tan France
You've made it. When?
Mark Normand
Yes. Oh, this is me bombing at Radio City.
Tan France
Was. Wait, was that is your special?
Mark Normand
No, I was opening for The Video Music Awards. You can see the astronaut in the back. Nobody cared.
Tan France
I like the tie.
Mark Normand
Hey, thanks.
Tan France
Oh, this is my favorite look.
Mark Normand
Me and the wife, we went to a sex club in Berlin.
Tan France
Wait, Was it Berghain?
Mark Normand
KitKat?
Tan France
Oh, shit.
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Tan France
Whoa.
Mark Normand
So we got dolled up just for the hell of it. Are they.
Tan France
Are they cuffs or is that a mini skirt?
Mark Normand
Her or me?
Tan France
No, you?
Mark Normand
No, that's a boxer briefs.
Tan France
Oh. It's a box. Okay.
Mark Normand
It was embarrassing because we showed up to the club and we got there way too early, and we're the only people in line dressed up and everyone had a bag. So they wear normal clothes, then go in and then change. There's lockers and stuff. So we looked like idiots. And I remember the bouncer was a real douche. He was, like, speaking in German. I was like, I'm American. He goes, how come I learned your language? You don't learn mine?
Tan France
Oh.
Mark Normand
And I was like, good point.
Sam Morril
Yeah. No, I got with it. The Germans are very arrogant. Like, we. I got heckled a lot during my set. They were just like, fuck, Trump. I'm like, first off, I didn't vote for him. Second off, Hitler. Okay? You don't get to be smug and have had Hitler. Okay.
Mark Normand
That's fat. Good point.
Sam Morril
Any quick stories from the sex club, Mark?
Mark Normand
Well, I had sex with the wife in the club.
Tan France
Whoa.
Mark Normand
And a guy tapped me on the shoulder and said, me next. And I said, yes, sure.
Sam Morril
I traveled. I traveled with him. It was nice. Yes.
Mark Normand
So I. The guy.
Tan France
You. You just had sex with your wife in the.
Mark Normand
Well, everybody was banging. So I said, when in Rome, let's go after it.
Tan France
And then the German guy was even more angry, saying, we're not in Rome, bitch. Secondly. But I think the point of a sex club is to not have sex with your own partner.
Mark Normand
That's true. But she was not into the school.
Tan France
Why?
Mark Normand
Go.
Tan France
Wow.
Mark Normand
You wanna see it?
Sam Morril
You had a hotel room, dude.
Mark Normand
Oh, yeah. It's a story. You gotta do it.
Sam Morril
Have you ever been to a sex club?
Mark Normand
No.
Tan France
Come on, look at me. Actually, I did accidentally once go to a sex club. It was one of those where you can't wear clothes you're meant to just in underwear. And I walked in with a group of friends who hadn't told me, and they know what a square I am. So we walked in and the doorman was like, okay, take your clothes off and put them in the locker. I was like, oh, ha, ha. And he was like, no, you can't have clothes on. In this club, walked right back out. There's nobody.
Mark Normand
What?
Tan France
Have you met me? Like, of course I'm not gonna go to a sex or.
Mark Normand
Wow.
Tan France
Absolutely not.
Mark Normand
But you look. You're svelte, good shape.
Sam Morril
You work out. You definitely work out.
Tan France
I'm in great shape. I work out for 43 and my body is fucking tight. That's no one's business. No one needs to see that shit.
Sam Morril
Show the world.
Tan France
And also, especially now I'm old. No one needs to see this. The lights are off. Don't look at me.
Mark Normand
I'm upset. This feels homophobic.
Sam Morril
But you met your husband in like, in your 20s, but in like in Salt Lake City, right?
Tan France
Yeah. I thought you were about to eat in a sex club. Yeah, I did.
Mark Normand
See, you're gonna hold this back from the world.
Tan France
Thank you. So w. I can't believe there's a picture of that on the Internet.
Mark Normand
Oh, yeah, this is his background photo.
Sam Morril
Dude, you look like you should be in a Marvel movie.
Mark Normand
I know.
Tan France
I work out hard, man. Like. Yeah, I just hide it.
Mark Normand
Holy Moses.
Sam Morril
Moses. What do you think when this drops in the New York Post?
Tan France
I didn't realize it had made the Post. That's fucking insane. Do you know what?
Sam Morril
Cause if I do that, they're gonna be like, what the fuck happened to this guy? Send help.
Tan France
I really wish that I could. I'm not in that exact shape anym. I would love to be in that shape. Oh, it is the same. Like twins. Twitter. That's really mean.
Sam Morril
Oh, I look rough, dude.
Tan France
What do you mean?
Sam Morril
I'm in better shape now than I was then, but that's really bad.
Tan France
Do you work out?
Sam Morril
I do.
Tan France
Do you work out?
Mark Normand
A little bit.
Tan France
See, I think that I have. To your 40s, obviously, right?
Sam Morril
I'm 39. If I didn't do it, I would look like shit.
Tan France
Yeah, our age, you gotta.
Mark Normand
You gotta.
Tan France
You just gotta look terrifying and you don't wanna look like your dad.
Sam Morril
My dad looks pretty good right now.
Mark Normand
Oh, really?
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Mark Normand
Okay. And we drink a lot too, so that just kills the body. Oh, here we go.
Tan France
My Wikifeet score would just be fucking fantastic. Is it still.
Sam Morril
It's 4.15 out of 5, right?
Tan France
It used to be 4.9. I had a solid wiki feat. Which is.
Sam Morril
Someone pulled it down, dude.
Tan France
I know.
Mark Normand
Is this the new Uber rating? I didn't know we had. Am I on there? Is he on there?
Sam Morril
Yeah, you're both on there.
Tan France
I'm on there.
Mark Normand
I think so.
Sam Morril
My feet are rough.
Tan France
I'm gonna be pissed.
Mark Normand
I got slave feet. I mean, they got really yellow toenail knuckle hair.
Sam Morril
Oh, yeah.
Tan France
Is there no rating?
Sam Morril
No rating.
Tan France
4.8. How are you? How is your.
Mark Normand
Higher than you. Whoa.
Tan France
That is. That's homophobic feet. Higher than mine. What is salmon there?
Mark Normand
Oh, there we go.
Sam Morril
I better not. My feet are awful. Dude, I could catch salmon with these fucking toenails. These are gnarly.
Mark Normand
Do you Sam Talon.
Tan France
Do either of you manicure, pedicure? No, Obviously.
Mark Normand
No.
Sam Morril
Nothing.
Mark Normand
I can't sit in that chair. I feel guilty.
Sam Morril
I'm on there. I took this photo.
Tan France
Yours is higher than mine.
Mark Normand
That's a good foot. Look at white out of here, that foot. Never seen a day of labor. Look at that.
Tan France
Wow.
Mark Normand
It's in my mouth. You.
Tan France
I didn't know you had a foot fetish. That's fine.
Sam Morril
Look at that.
Mark Normand
Sucking that big toe.
Sam Morril
Suck on that, Tarantino.
Tan France
Yeah, it's not. We might be drunk. You've got to be drunk.
Mark Normand
I guess so. Yeah.
Tan France
Yeah.
Sam Morril
I want to know your take. Can we pull up some other people? I want to know Tan's take. Cause this is his thing. This is what he. People like you. Changed lives. I feel like. Oh, Kelsey Plum. She's pretty attractive.
Tan France
I'm not mad at whoever this is. Sorry. I'm terrible.
Sam Morril
She's a point guard on the LA Sparks.
Tan France
She looks wicked. She looks wicked. Love this look.
Mark Normand
This is crazy.
Tan France
Yeah, I know. She's got something special like that a lot.
Sam Morril
She would break us in half mark easily.
Tan France
Okay, you've got to remember it was the Met gala, so fuck off. Everyone. Everyone looks a little crazy at the Met gal. I love both. No joke. I love both for the Met Gala. Anywhere else in the world, that would be wild. But I think they look incredible.
Sam Morril
Yeah. Met gal is cheating. I feel like we gotta pull, like, regular.
Mark Normand
Ooh, yeah, man.
Tan France
No one's doing it wrong.
Mark Normand
Wait a damn minute.
Sam Morril
That's Russell Westbrook.
Tan France
Okay, funnily enough, that's one of the very few sports people I know. I think he's one of the best dressed men in the world. Not there. Yeah, like, that's obviously. But I know it's me.
Sam Morril
He should be waving down a plane in laguardia. What the hell is he doing?
Mark Normand
Right?
Tan France
It's definitely a look, but I think he looks incredible.
Sam Morril
More Met gala.
Tan France
I was about to say something controversial. I'll leave.
Sam Morril
Say it. Say it.
Mark Normand
Come on, Tani.
Tan France
Actually, my controversial take is not a mean take. I actually feel bad for her. You might disagree completely. Just because she's the girlfriend, wife, whatever of Bezos. I don't love that. This is so the wrong place for this conversation.
Mark Normand
No, don't lay it on me.
Tan France
My issue is, is that she's fair game for everyone just because she's Bezos's wife. Whereas if she was any other woman in the world, we'd say no. Why are you talking about that?
Mark Normand
That's a great point. You're right. You're 100% right.
Tan France
And to be fair, if that was on anybody else, you'd be like, yeah, she nailed it.
Mark Normand
Great body.
Tan France
She looks good.
Mark Normand
Looks great.
Sam Morril
I thought that was Whitney for a second. I think she looks very good.
Tan France
Who's Whitney?
Sam Morril
Whitney Cummings.
Tan France
Oh, I think she looks good. Look how cute.
Sam Morril
Oh, Marcelo. Oh, shit.
Tan France
He looks great.
Mark Normand
What the hell is he wearing?
Tan France
The other thing is a little nuts. Kyle Kuzma went too far.
Sam Morril
He looks like a tampon. He looks horrible.
Mark Normand
I call that a Pepto Abysmal.
Tan France
Pepto Abysmal. I love both. You can hate on it all you want. The one on the left, I don't know his name, but LeBron James, he looks wicked. Look, I know it really looks like a schoolboy thing. It's a brand called Tom Brown. You both know Tom Brown, right?
Mark Normand
Please don't know Tom Ford.
Tan France
Tom Brown is one of the most iconic American brands, and they do shorts with jackets. I know it's. It doesn't seem great to most people. I think it's so fashiony.
Sam Morril
It's bold. You like bold?
Tan France
I like fashion. No, no, no. Anywhere else, I'd say no. But on the sports dudes, when they do the walk in and at the Met gal, I'm like, yeah, be bold. Like, have fun with it. Whereas that dude on the right, like, yeah, that's your street look. Wear it on the street.
Sam Morril
Bronson.
Mark Normand
That's a good look. I would wear that.
Tan France
The right. What's his name? Travis. On the right. That is the same brand as the shorts one. Okay, so that's Tom Brown as well. Wicked. Like, looks baggy.
Mark Normand
Yeah, Baggie's in.
Tan France
Baggie's really in.
Mark Normand
Look at those. Trousers are in.
Tan France
Okay, I'm not loving the one on the left.
Sam Morril
Westbrook is 0 for 2 with you.
Tan France
Yeah, I know, I know. I like the top of it. Like, if you were to wear a pair of jeans with that, like, yeah,
Sam Morril
you look wicked dressed like Mary Poppins. What is he doing?
Mark Normand
Somebody on Twitter said bad buddy looks like a goth Colonel Sanders.
Tan France
However, I fucking loved his look. I thought his look Was awesome. I didn't know it was him. He looked so good.
Mark Normand
Yeah. What is he doing on the left? Is that a.
Tan France
It's a wild one. It's Mary Poppins. I don't know why.
Mark Normand
Yeah, that's a. That's a Tom brown sweater, though.
Tan France
It's a Tom brown sweater.
Mark Normand
I know the.
Tan France
I'm learning. Thank you for saying that. You've always known it. Yeah.
Mark Normand
Okay. Wow. I'm learning a lot here.
Tan France
Look again, I wouldn't suggest. I need you to know I'm not dressing like this. I had jeans on and I had sneakers on, but when I'm on a press tour. So when you do a press tour, you get dressed up more. I don't dress like this in real life. I dress just as simple as. Oh, really? Yeah. I mean, I live in black. Ah, nice. Or a pair of jeans. I'm never this dressed up for anything.
Mark Normand
But show the world your shoes. I mean, these have got to get
Sam Morril
out there, but you feel like you have to bring it because of who you are.
Mark Normand
Yeah. Of course.
Tan France
If I had my job, I would be in a pair of don't wash Levi's jeans every day, a white pair of sneakers, and a black tee. I would never, ever make an effort.
Mark Normand
Yeah, but how do you find. Like, that T shirt is distressed. It's. It's.
Tan France
That's my phone.
Mark Normand
How do you find the shirt?
Tan France
This is vintage. I go to vintage stores a lot. There's a place called the Di, which is our version of the Goodwill in Utah. And so I go to the Goodwill.
Sam Morril
So you get stuff, like for bargains. That's your move?
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Tan France
Here's my point. You should be able to buy something so inexpensive and make it good. If you can't, you're not a good stylist.
Sam Morril
That's cool.
Tan France
If you're a stylist, you shouldn't be able to make any shitty, cheap thing work.
Mark Normand
Wow. Tell us. My wife.
Tan France
Do you know what? When I first got onto Queer Eye, I was already retired. I had money. I could have spent a lot. Instead, I wanted to show people that you don't need a lot of money. So I. Do you know what Primark is?
Mark Normand
Yes.
Tan France
It's like a super, super cheap store from the UK. You can get a suit for £50, which is like $60.
Mark Normand
Pull it up.
Tan France
And I wanted to show people. No, I can wear something that's less than $100. Get it tailored, and you will believe that this is a designer suit. And so I did.
Mark Normand
Whoa.
Sam Morril
That is cool.
Mark Normand
I joke about my wife, but she does a thing called where you rent clothes.
Tan France
Oh, yeah. Rent the Runway.
Mark Normand
Yeah, yeah. And they're cheap. Cheap, whatever. But she'll just rent it and not own it. And she gets a million compliments, and if she gets enough compliments, she'll buy the piece. Yeah. Pretty good move.
Tan France
Yeah. Also, if you live in New York, I'm assuming you guys haven't got space for shit like rent, Right?
Mark Normand
Exactly. Exactly. Wow. Primark.
Tan France
Okay, I'm not saying that that's where you should buy your clothes. Where I need to make it very clear, don't support Primark. It's a terrible fast fashion brand. However, you don't need to spend a
Sam Morril
lot of money creative. I hear you. I remember that I got a suit for this movie I was making because I had to get blood on it, and I was like, let me get, like, a $100 suit. It looked pretty good.
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Tan France
No one would know.
Sam Morril
I was shocked. I was like, this is a hundred dollars.
Tan France
Yeah, it's right. I think that people just assume, oh, you have to spend a fortune to look good. Now, that's bullshit.
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Tan France
Yeah. Also, I was broke as a joke. I remember what it feels like to watch celebrities thinking, oh, God, I'm never gonna be able to look as nice as them. Get the fuck out of here.
Mark Normand
Mmm.
Tan France
Look as good as them.
Sam Morril
So you go to. I've been. I think I've been to the Goodwill and In Salt Lake City.
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Sam Morril
I was just, like, walking around, just, you know, a road comic. You're looking for stuff to do during the day.
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Sam Morril
And I got a cool shirt for, like, six bucks.
Tan France
Yeah.
Mark Normand
But the problem is tailoring. Tailor. I find a cool shirt or jacket or whatever, and tailoring is like, you know, $200.
Tan France
You're going to the wrong tailor.
Mark Normand
I go to Alts, you know, Alts Brown.
Tan France
Tia. Oh, okay.
Mark Normand
Sorry.
Tan France
You. I'm telling you, you going to the wrong tailor. If you're just getting, let's say, a T shirt or a pair of jeans hemmed, you can get it done for, like, $10.
Sam Morril
Where do you do that?
Tan France
Why do you do that? Go to the dry cleaners. They'll do. They'll. How many pounds?
Sam Morril
My place is so expensive.
Mark Normand
See, that's.
Sam Morril
But I think it's New York City.
Mark Normand
Price might be New York.
Tan France
Yeah. It must be New York, because anywhere else, I got my whole suit tailored for $70. So all in all, I got my whole. My whole red carpet look for $150.
Mark Normand
Wow. That's crazy.
Tan France
Yeah. Okay. I need to make it really clear now. When I'm at the red carpet, I don't spend that. I spend a heck of a lot more. Yeah, but back in the day, I just wanted to prove a point.
Sam Morril
People must hit you up a lot, being like, I can't be the only one. There must be some. There must be. There must be some big dogs hitting you up. Like, what do I do?
Tan France
I get those texts almost every day.
Sam Morril
Really? Who's an interesting? Can you share any of them?
Tan France
I can't.
Sam Morril
I respect that.
Tan France
I think it's. It's. It's unkind to expose them.
Sam Morril
That's fair.
Mark Normand
Damn, does Lane Maxwell.
Tan France
That's exactly.
Sam Morril
That's why she looks so good in prison.
Tan France
She does look amazing.
Mark Normand
Does she?
Tan France
No. Dick, no.
Mark Normand
She's an attractive lady.
Sam Morril
It must be crazy to be living like. She must have been living well for a long time and then to just go to prison.
Mark Normand
Oh. Oh, come on.
Sam Morril
That. That. That 180.
Mark Normand
Yeah. I mean, brutal.
Tan France
She got to stay alive. The other one didn't. Yeah, actually, I don't believe that. Yeah.
Sam Morril
You think he offed himself?
Tan France
No, I think he's. I think he's out.
Sam Morril
Really? You think he's just chilling somewhere in the world?
Tan France
Yeah.
Mark Normand
Yeah, I think they killed him. Him. He knows too much. That's my theory.
Sam Morril
Well, why not kill her then, too?
Tan France
Yeah.
Sam Morril
Why let one and survive?
Mark Normand
It's a good point.
Tan France
No, I think they got him out.
Mark Normand
Okay. Interesting.
Sam Morril
He's just chilling somewhere in an island having a daiquiri.
Tan France
Not that island, but yeah.
Sam Morril
A different island. A new Epstein's island. They revamped it.
Tan France
They've gone through a rebrand.
Mark Normand
Oh, yeah.
Sam Morril
How does she look here? She looks kind of stylish, right?
Tan France
Look, this had money.
Mark Normand
Yeah. Wealthy family. Dad was a big.
Sam Morril
But there's people with money who look like shit.
Tan France
I mean, most people with money look like shit. Nah, she had a stylist. There's no way she was dressing herself. Even back in the day. She had a stylist.
Sam Morril
It's funny to be a sexual deviant and be like, I need to look good on the Runway.
Mark Normand
It's funny.
Sam Morril
You just be pure evil, and you're like, I need someone to help.
Tan France
Isn't that insane?
Mark Normand
Yeah. Look at that. Very chic, vile bitch
Sam Morril
she is. What do you want him to say? She was lovely.
Tan France
Yeah.
Sam Morril
She's a good person.
Tan France
Yeah. Like the actual devil.
Mark Normand
God, the short hair sucks. But that's the worst thing she's done.
Sam Morril
Yeah. You gotta be so hot as a Woman to pull off short hair.
Mark Normand
You really do.
Sam Morril
Like Mariska Hargitay pulled it off. I'm trying to think, who. What's. Rita Hayworth pulled it off?
Tan France
Nancy Portman. Yeah, she pulled it off.
Sam Morril
Melanie Griffith back in the day pulled it off. But Halle Berry. But it's rare. You got to be so.
Tan France
Yeah, well, it's. I think it's a thing that makes it clear to the world just how hot you are or how not you are. Because when you cut your hair really short, it can ruin you.
Mark Normand
Oh, yeah. For sure.
Tan France
It exposes you. I think a lot of people do it, thinking, I'm hot enough for this. And then you're like, no, your features are large. You can't.
Sam Morril
Even. If you're hot, though, you're hotter with longer hair.
Mark Normand
I know you hate to say it, actually, not everyone.
Tan France
I think I still think that Natalie Portman, the hottest. With short hair.
Sam Morril
I think she's really.
Mark Normand
I mean, look at that. That is. Look at that face on the bottom left.
Tan France
She looks incredible.
Mark Normand
Unbelievable.
Sam Morril
She looks like Simple Jack. She's beautiful, but not with that look.
Tan France
Is it that she's gay gorgeous? Because I think she looks incredible.
Mark Normand
She looks like a little boy. No wonder you're into it.
Tan France
Actually, that's the streets who are into that. Just so you know.
Mark Normand
Good point.
Tan France
That's the affliction of straight men.
Mark Normand
Straight guys, originally.
Tan France
Little boys. I'm telling you, the straight men are the pedos.
Mark Normand
I know that.
Tan France
You guys are always coming for us. It ain't our.
Mark Normand
Oh,
Tan France
there are definitely some.
Sam Morril
She pulls it off.
Mark Normand
She's very attractive.
Tan France
But she's still more attractive with the long hair.
Sam Morril
For sure.
Tan France
She's gorgeous. Always. Actually, she rocked it.
Mark Normand
Yeah, but she's got a lesbian vibe.
Tan France
Yeah. Because she's a lesbian. What else is she gonna get?
Sam Morril
Wait, is she the one who dated the Twilight guy?
Tan France
She was the Twilight girl.
Sam Morril
Yeah. Okay. All right.
Mark Normand
Robert Pattinson.
Sam Morril
Yeah. Yeah.
Mark Normand
Who might be the most handsome man of all time.
Sam Morril
He's a handsome guy, right? Yeah. Like Brad Pitt and Benjamin Button. Look kind of weird, but it takes a lot. Make him look weird.
Tan France
Yeah, man.
Mark Normand
Yeah. And snatch. They put a fake nose on him because he was too handsome.
Tan France
Yeah.
Mark Normand
So they had to ugly him up.
Tan France
Couldn't you. Could you imagine that feeling? You go to set and they're like, sorry, we're really fucking struggling. We're gonna have to put prosthetics on you. That's how attractive you are.
Sam Morril
Crazy.
Tan France
I've talked about this so many times. My husband thinking, could you imagine just walking around knowing that people are checking you out in that way.
Mark Normand
Oh, I know.
Sam Morril
It's like, what's her name? Gwyneth Paltrow in Shallow Halloween.
Tan France
Hell.
Mark Normand
She was like, this is horrible.
Sam Morril
They made her fat in that movie. She's like, this is awful. I'm like, yeah, maybe keep that to yourself. You want to tell everyone that this is hell?
Mark Normand
You cannot make that movie today.
Sam Morril
No.
Tan France
No, you couldn't. But it is a. Incredible. It's one of my favorite. I love that movie.
Sam Morril
That was crazy. So you live in Utah?
Tan France
Is that what you said? I live in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Sam Morril
Is that super conservative there? What's it like being a gay guy in Utah?
Tan France
No, I think that you've been to. Have you told me?
Sam Morril
Yeah, we love Salt Lake. I mean, I love Salt Lake. Great comedy crowds, too.
Tan France
They love comedy. Well, they don't drink that much, and so. And they don't have a lot of vices, so that's when they get to let go and be free. Yeah. In Utah, I think that people assume because it's Utah that it's quirky and weird. It's not that weird. Maybe. Maybe I've drank the Kool Aid. Maybe I don't see it anymore. But it's a normal life. It's very liberal where I live. And I've never felt safer being gay anywhere in the world than in Utah. No one's ever caused me a problem. Also, they won't say anything to you. I'm sure you don't get heckled in Utah ever. Like when you. No, they think something mean, they're not gonna say it.
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Tan France
You were saying in Germany, they'll say, this sucks. Get off the stage. They would never say that. New type. They're just not.
Mark Normand
Yeah, they're very polite people.
Tan France
Very polite people. It's one of my favorite places in the world. We're about to move, though. Moving to New York. So I'll see you.
Mark Normand
Whoa.
Sam Morril
Hell, yeah. That's exciting. What prompted the move?
Tan France
Midlife crisis. Legit midlife crisis for me and my partner and just work, man. Like you get more work here. And I was kind of living in that weird bubble. But I've been an entertainer for nine years now, and I thought, I can just live in Utah, fly to New York and LA when I need to work. Just. I'm too old for that. I just need to live here.
Mark Normand
And that's a longer flight. That's like a deceptively long flight.
Tan France
Five and a half hours. No, lay down.
Mark Normand
Whoa.
Tan France
Yeah. There's no lay down between Salt Lake and.
Mark Normand
Yeah, how about that?
Sam Morril
Same with Vegas, I think. Right? Yeah. You're just under the.
Tan France
Yeah. The threshold. Yeah. I know it's tough and I do that a lot.
Sam Morril
It's a big airport, but. Yeah, it's still. I get it. Like we talk about Salt Lake all the time. It's that part of the world. Like for some reason, like comedy and like Salt Lake and Denver.
Mark Normand
Yes.
Sam Morril
That part of the country is so good.
Mark Normand
Yeah. So true. But they need a lot. I mean it's. It's no porn, no coffee, no booze.
Tan France
Yeah.
Sam Morril
Was your. Your husband's from there, right?
Tan France
Yeah. Well, he's. He's. He was from technically Wyoming, but he's been there for like 40 years, so. Yeah.
Mark Normand
Wow. Gay Wyoming.
Tan France
Actually, it's not rare. Yeah, but they don't.
Sam Morril
But like Salt Lake had a gay kind of underground scene where. I bet Wyoming not as maybe now, but back then, I bet not as much.
Tan France
No. And probably not even now. Whereas Utah, Salt Lake in particular, I think it's one of the top, gayest, gay, friendliest cities in the country.
Mark Normand
Ah.
Sam Morril
What are others? I mean, is it just. Are the other ones obvious?
Tan France
San Francisco, New York, la, place like that?
Sam Morril
Chicago.
Tan France
Chicago, yeah.
Mark Normand
New Orleans. Pretty gay friendly. That's where I'm from. Is it very gay? Huh? Oh, yeah.
Tan France
It's a problem. Not see that side of it.
Mark Normand
Really. The French Court is very like as a kid even it was. Whoa. Yeah. It was always been very gay friendly in public pockets.
Tan France
Because I. I lived there. We were shooting the show for five months in the French Quarter. We made the mistake of living in the French Quarter.
Mark Normand
That's a tough spot.
Tan France
Me and my husband and our kid.
Sam Morril
Any stick ups?
Tan France
No, no, no, no. Thank God we had security with us at all times. But it still felt unsafe. Really unsafe.
Mark Normand
Then the drunks and Bourbon street, all that. It's always loud. Parking's hell.
Tan France
Yeah. Parking was hell. Yeah.
Mark Normand
I can't believe you lived there.
Tan France
What? So.
Sam Morril
Yeah, where else did you live there?
Tan France
I'm about to say something that I. Angelique, you might need to tell them to take it out.
Mark Normand
We can always edit it.
Tan France
Yeah.
Sam Morril
Hey.
Mark Normand

Mark Normand
It's wild. I remember being a kid getting to a cab and the guy would have a beer between his lips.
Sam Morril
Dude, I remember that too. I went to school there for a year and a half and you'd get just drunk cab drivers all the time. Wild.
Tan France
Terrible.
Sam Morril
Yeah, they have a daiquiri.
Mark Normand
Yeah, there's all kinds of corruption with the mayor. It's crazy.
Tan France
They literally don't have the resources to top it.
Sam Morril
But you talk yourself, you're like, yeah, he probably drinks all the time. He's probably a good drunk driver. You start to like make deals with yourself. Not safe.
Mark Normand
Yeah, but as a kid it was fun because you could just do anything.
Sam Morril
Yeah, well, he's not going to yell at you for smoking a joint back there if he's drinking. That was the one upside as a kid, but I think I was a
Tan France
kid, I'd be fucking terrified thinking the grown ups, not being the grown up. How are we going to get through this?
Mark Normand
Yeah, you drank your way through it
Sam Morril
and it becomes your reality.
Tan France
You're just used to it.
Mark Normand
Exactly, exactly.
Sam Morril
So you did New Orleans. Where else did you live for a long time?
Tan France
Oh, my gosh. Okay, I'm going to try and do it in order. Atlanta, Kansas City.
Sam Morril
Atlanta was season one, right?
Tan France
Yeah. Season one, season two, Atlanta, season three, season four, Kansas City. Philadelphia for one season. New Orleans for two seasons. Austin for two seasons, Japan for one season.
Sam Morril
Whoa.
Mark Normand
Jeez.
Tan France
Oh, my gosh. Where was the last one? Where did we shoot the last one? Oh, dc.
Mark Normand
Nice.
Tan France
Fun.
Mark Normand
These are fun places.
Tan France
Yeah. Yeah, actually. Awesome. We had an amazing time. We always shot in summer, which was brutal because we. We are on the street. Fucking brutal. Brutal. But Japan was the best place I ever shot. Have you ever done.
Mark Normand
I've never been.
Sam Morril
We've got to go to Japan.
Mark Normand
We gotta go.
Sam Morril
It's like, then. I love Japanese food. I love Japanese culture. I wanna, I want to go American
Tan France
comics retour in Japan. Not really.
Sam Morril
Neil Brennan just went there and he. I, I think we could do it.
Mark Normand
Yeah. Yeah, we should do it.
Sam Morril
I don't think we're gonna sell a ton of tickets, but it's like, it would be worth it.
Tan France
Do you guys trip tour together ever?
Sam Morril
No, no. We might do at some point. We're working on a movie. If that works. We might do a little thing.
Mark Normand
That'd be cool.
Tan France
But Japan. Japan is truly my favorite place in the world. It's incredible. We shot the show there and it was already on my bucket list. And then I loved it so much that I go back every year. I'm obsessed with the place.
Sam Morril
What parts of Japan should we hit?
Tan France
Tokyo and Kyoto.
Sam Morril
Yeah, that's what I heard.
Tan France
Everyone who's ever been there. No one's ever gonna say I had a shit time, right? Like, no one's even gonna say I had an okay time. Everyone you will meet will be like, japan's fucking awesome.
Mark Normand
Really?
Tan France
Nowhere better in the world.
Mark Normand
Okay, Nowhere.
Sam Morril
There's a place in Flatiron on 23rd, I believe. I literally just had a. They do Japanese breakfast. I love the Japanese breakfast with just all the fishes and veggies.
Tan France
Will you text me when you find out what it is? Because I really do want to go. I love a Japanese.
Sam Morril
We'll go there.
Tan France
I would love that.
Sam Morril
Maybe all three. It'd be fun.
Mark Normand
I would love.
Tan France
I would love that.
Mark Normand
What's the breakfast though? I don't even know what they eat for breakfast.
Sam Morril
It's just, you know, pickled.
Tan France
A lot of. I know it sounds weird.
Sam Morril
The egg custard thing, the tamago, it's really good.
Tan France
Okay. Oh yeah, speaking of pickles, I'm assuming you've both been because you're both Jewish, right?
Mark Normand
No, I'm not.
Tan France
You're not?
Mark Normand
No.
Tan France
Come on, get out of it. Wow, you play it well. Have you did Katz's Deli? Do you know what that is?
Sam Morril
My Knicks watch party last night. Jake, who runs Katz's Deli, was at my Knicks party.
Tan France
So he was. I met him. Oh God, what's it called? Beat Bobby Flay. You know what, that show?
Mark Normand
Yeah, of course.
Tan France
I went to Beat Bobby Flay and he was there as one of the judges and he was telling me about the place and I was like, yeah, bitch, I know. I know all about your place. Your pickles are the best. Pickles.
Sam Morril
Legendary.
Tan France
So good, man. Yeah.
Sam Morril
That's Jake to my right.
Tan France
Lovely guy. Yeah, really good guy.
Mark Normand
That place is great. The food, the sandwiches is this tall.
Sam Morril
Yeah, everyone says it's a ripoff.
Tan France
It's like.
Sam Morril
Yeah, it's expensive, but also it's two meals easily.
Mark Normand
Yeah. And their beef barley soup is underrated, by the way.
Sam Morril
And the knish. I used to always in the winter pop in for a hot dog and a knish.
Mark Normand
Oh, yeah.
Sam Morril
Because at night there was never a line. And they were. It was a cheap meal. It was like a really cheap hot dog.
Tan France
Can I tell you what happened to my breakfast back then?
Sam Morril
It was.
Mark Normand
Please.
Tan France
It's not exciting to you, but I just need to know what I was going through this morning. Do you know what Sunday Morning Cafe is? It's a place that does cinnamon buns. Cinnamon rolls. And I got three cinnamon rolls this morning. I woke up. So I just got back from China last night.
Mark Normand
What?
Tan France
And I was really jet lagged, so I slept for 10 hours. I woke up at 9:30 and I was feeling really hungry because it had been so long since I'd eaten. So I went to Sunday Morning Cafe and got three cinnamon rolls. And they are fucking massive.
Mark Normand
Wow.
Sam Morril
This is the place.
Tan France
And it was incredible. And I ate all three this morning.
Mark Normand
Holy moly.
Tan France
One after another didn't pause.
Mark Normand
Is this trauma eating Everything all right?
Tan France
Do you know? Yeah, it's not. All right.
Mark Normand
That's a lot of. A lot of bread.
Tan France
When you run a bread store for a couple of weeks, he can really fuck with you. And so you just eat one. What you want? So. Yeah. Three cinnamon rolls.
Sam Morril
Damn.
Tan France
You have to go. It's incredible. Sponsored by them, but they were incredible.
Mark Normand
Yeah. That's so good. Can't get that in China.
Sam Morril
I have an idea for you, by the way, for the next season of Queer Eye. There should be a hook.
Tan France
It's done.
Sam Morril
No, but there's the next after this one. It should be like incel edition. You take whoever's most voted most likely to shoot up an office or a school. You take that kid and you're like. And you're like, all right, you save lives. We're gonna fix you. We're gonna pluck the middle of your eyebrows. This could have been huge for me.
Tan France
I like this.
Sam Morril
You're gonna. You're gonna save them. And that way instead of shooting up the school, they're gonna, like, get the girl.
Mark Normand
They're gonna be cool.
Sam Morril
Or the guy, whoever. Whoever they like, but get them. Yeah. Scour Reddit for who's the most hostile.
Mark Normand
Yes.
Tan France
I don't.
Sam Morril
We're giving you a makeover.
Tan France
Real life version. We could do a movie version of that. Cuz that sounds great. Yeah, it's like a she's all that, but like.
Sam Morril
Yes.
Tan France
A much more terrifying version of.
Mark Normand
I'm talking gamer, mom's base head, Mountain Dew, the whole thing.
Sam Morril
Yes. Save the day. We actually have your Rex here. Okay.
Tan France
I do have recommend. Wow. Okay, I need you to understand this. Now that I'm looking at this, I did not realize that they were Rex. Okay, these are not reqs for you because you are way too straight to appreciate any of this.
Sam Morril
I think we had some gay fans.
Mark Normand
Here's the thing.
Tan France
I was asked what I like right now, and I was like, great, okay. But apparently I forgot that I'm a very gay man. This girl Jade is iconic in the uk. She was on a show called the X Factor, which kind of like your version of like, America's Got Talent. Oh, yeah, sorry. America's American Idol. You're right. So she was in a girl band for 10 years. She just went solo and her album won album of the year. Our version of the Grammys, which we call the Brits. Her album's incredible, even if you're not a gay man. But she does say she makes music for the gays. It's incredible. When you're at a club like the Berlin One. That's the kind of music you will listen to. It just gets you in the mood. It's great.
Mark Normand
Is this gonna kill us, Peters? Hey, nice voice.
Tan France
She's got a wicked voice. And she always sings out. She's incredible. Anyway, that's enough, thanks. You don't have the money for that.
Mark Normand
Awesome. No, no.
Tan France
Okay, next. My rec. God, again, I forgot. I didn't realize.
Sam Morril
I've heard of I Am Love. What is this?
Tan France
Okay. You know, Tilda Swinton is.
Mark Normand
Of course.
Tan France
Okay, great.
Sam Morril
The girl I'm dating wanted to watch this the other night. We didn't watch. Is it really good?
Tan France
You will hate it. She will love it. Yeah, it's definitely a movie for the girls and the gays. Do you know that? Did you ever see that?
Sam Morril
Every movie she wrecks is a gay movie. And every movie I wreck is like a movie with the title, like the Woman who Got Murdered. It's like a noir from the 40s.
Tan France
So you know Luca. What's his name?
Sam Morril
Guardino. Oh, yes. We were gonna watch this. I heard. This is good. All right, I'm gonna watch it. I'm gonna let you know.
Tan France
Yeah, I think it was his day.
Sam Morril
I love Tilda Swinton.
Tan France
I love Tilda Swinton.
Sam Morril
She's awesome.
Tan France
She's wicked in this.
Sam Morril
So he did Challengers, right?
Tan France
He did. He did.
Sam Morril
That was a cool movie.
Tan France
Every movie he has done has been. Oh, okay.
Mark Normand
Call me all you need.
Tan France
So this is his first one.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Tan France
And I think it's an absolute masterpiece. But. But I will say this. If you're watching, you'll think, well, this is a nice movie. Until the last 10 minutes. The last 10 minutes, I sat there and I watched it twice. And both times the audience did exactly the same thing. I used to go to the cinema. I haven't been to cinema in a long time, but the whole audience are the same thing. The credits come up and I haven't never seen an audience sit through the entire credits in complete shock.
Sam Morril
Wow. I'm gonna watch it this week.
Tan France
Incredible movie.
Mark Normand
Okay.
Tan France
Yeah. One of my favorites ever. Okay, then. Okay. This one you might appreciate. So I was asking my favorite star, do you know what Conk is?
Sam Morril
No.
Tan France
So do you know who Dan Morgan is in the uk?
Sam Morril
I don't.
Tan France
Will you pull up a picture of her? Okay, so Diane Morgan is a fucking national treasure. So she does a show called Conk, and it's in England. When we say, let's say, for example, I'm referring to you and you've got an opinion on Chairs It's Sam on chairs. That's just your opinion on that thing. So it's kunk on Earth. Kong Khon. Religion. Her Religion 1 is on Netflix. Is so fucking funny. She basically starts it out with, I'm gonna tell you which religion is better, Judaism or the Quran? Let's start with the Quran. Oh, so Judaism or Islam? And then she'll say, okay, let me read through the Quran and I'm gonna tell you if it's good or not. And then beep. Because obviously she'll get killed.
Mark Normand
Right, right.
Tan France
It's just this bitch is so fucking funny. And just the most unfiltered honest opinion on what.
Sam Morril
This reminds me a little like, remember back in the day, Penn and Teller did Bullshit? Yes. I thought that was a pretty cool show.
Mark Normand
That was a great show. But she's very dry and the deadpan delivery is what makes it.
Sam Morril
I'm gonna watch this too.
Tan France
So let me sell it. Morphea. She will speak to an absolute expert on a thing. So let's say, for example, Sam, you're talking about how much you love that camera and you're telling her. And once you're finished with how amazing that camera is, she. She'll say, looks shit though, doesn't it? Very serious professors. And you're like, are you. And I still don't know. She won't tell the world. Are the people who are the experts in on it because she's so fucking disrespectful about what they do for a living. And she's like, you wasted your whole life studying that.
Mark Normand
Yeah, it's like Ali G or something.
Tan France
Why? Why? You've gotta.
Mark Normand
You will love it.
Tan France
You've gotta check it out.
Sam Morril
Check it out.
Tan France
Did you hear the check? Black mirror.
Sam Morril
Yes.
Tan France
He co writes that with her.
Mark Normand
Oh, wow.
Tan France
Yeah. That's crazy. So they do it together. And she's incredible. She's also on a show called. Do you know what last one laughing is? Yes. So, okay, I've got so many. Recsphere. I'm going to text you these later. So season two of the British version. That one.
Sam Morril
Oh, Jimmy Carr.
Mark Normand
We've had him on a few times.
Tan France
I'm going to say something. Okay, never mind.
Sam Morril
Say it. Say it, please.
Mark Normand
We can edit.
Sam Morril
Say it.
Tan France
You can edit. Oh, my God. Actually, you're going to kill me for this one.
Sam Morril
Say it.
Tan France
This is my. This is already me.
Sam Morril
Say it. Say it.
Mark Normand
Jimmy Carr's plastic surgery.
Tan France
No, I couldn't care less about his surgery.
Mark Normand
Oh, I thought that was you gonna say.
Tan France
I think Jimmy Carr is meant to be, like, our version of who was, like, the most successful comic in America. Like.
Mark Normand
Like a Seinfeld or.
Tan France
Yeah, yeah, like a Seinfeld. Like somebody that's so respected, and you're like, you can get anything greenlit. And that's Jimmy. And I've always watched, thinking, huh? What?
Mark Normand
With that show.
Tan France
You mean with anything. Oh, let me tell you why. And I know this, Jimmy, it's not you. You are wonderful. I need you to know that. You're wonderful.
Sam Morril
But, Jimmy, it's not you. It's everything you do.
Tan France
It's not you. It's your personality. No, no, it's not your personality. It's my fault. The thing is, I think that his kind of comedy is so not my kind of comedy, because his is very different to. I think your. I know your work as well, Martin.
Mark Normand
Oh, thank you.
Tan France
You two both do a thing that I like, which is you'll just tell a story, and I don't know what you call that, but you'll tell a story. And I'm tracking, like, I'm following what you're saying, and I know you're building to something, and you'll do a callback, and I love that you'll do a callback. His is just a joke and then a joke and then a joke and then a joke. There's no. There's no storytelling whatsoever. And so maybe there's a massive audience that. But that is not my kind of comedy. I live for a comedy special almost every night. I watch comedy.
Mark Normand
Wow. All right.
Tan France
But I really go for. I want. I want to be caught off guard. I don't want to know that the punchline is coming every fast. And so. And I don't.
Sam Morril
You don't like formula? Like, we respect it because it is, like, a high degree of difficulty, what he's doing, where it's like, you're starting at zero every joke. So to me, it's like, okay, every joke's got to be pretty solid, but
Tan France
every joke lasts 30 seconds. So you've got an hour special of just joke. And now it's another joke. And that's another.
Sam Morril
Sure.
Tan France
Build to something.
Mark Normand
Yeah. You like a through line?
Tan France
Yeah, man.
Sam Morril
I mean, it's flavors, Honestly, it's like, what's your flavor? Yeah, you know, it's like. I hear what you're saying.
Tan France
Personally, I think he seems wonderful, but I just. It's so not my kind of comedy.
Sam Morril
Can you tell us who you like?
Tan France
Yeah, I. I like, but I love loads. Okay, here are my Americans.
Mark Normand
All right.
Tan France
I don't know how you're gonna feel about any of this. Do you know who Leanne Morgan is?
Sam Morril
Yeah, yeah. We saw at the Netflix brunch. We're like, come on the pod. She said she's gonna come on. We got to get her.
Tan France
I love, love her. We became actual friends. I love this one. She launched her comedy special, and we were just bored one night, and I think it was during COVID It was a few years ago, and we saw a senior woman on a comedy special. Was like, this is gonna be interesting. You don't see that.
Mark Normand
Yeah, that's true.
Tan France
They don't get Netflix specials. They just don't.
Mark Normand
You're right.
Tan France
And so I was like, no, I want to check it out. It was one of the best specials I've ever seen in my life.
Sam Morril
She's funny.
Tan France
Fucking loved it.
Sam Morril
I like her delivery too.
Tan France
Such good delivery. Because you just don't expect it from her. Because thought that her accent was fake for the first 20 minutes. I was like, dickhead is doing this bit for a long time. And then finally you realize, oh, shit, that's just how she speaks. So love her. I love Beth Stelling. Sorry.
Sam Morril
It's all right.
Tan France
I love her company so much. I think she's so good at what she does. And then the Brits, obviously, you can tell I like a lot of women. And then the Brits. Sarah Milliken, I think, is an absolute genius. Pull her up.
Mark Normand
I don't know.
Tan France
Sarah Milliken is one of the most successful comics in the uk. Arguably one of the most. She. She has sold out massive tours.
Mark Normand
Okay, I know.
Sam Morril
I recognize the face. You recognize.
Tan France
She just did an American tour. A sold out American tour, which is hard for a Brit.
Mark Normand
Yeah. Oh, good for her.
Tan France
She's been doing it for, like 25 years.
Mark Normand
I've seen that cover.
Tan France
Yeah, she was. She was very successful. So, yeah, she's my favorite.
Mark Normand
All right.
Tan France
Yeah, she's my favorite Brit.
Mark Normand
Brit.
Tan France
Yeah, lots. Okay.
Mark Normand
But the laugh show is hilarious. They try to not laugh, and that makes everybody laugh. It's great.
Tan France
It is a genius formula.
Mark Normand
Genius.
Tan France
Actually, this is not for you guys.
Sam Morril
Now that we cut back in. I want to make someone's day. Mark, what are some young comics you like?
Mark Normand
What?
Sam Morril
I want you to say someone's name. Yeah. Shout out to young.
Tan France
I'm actually really curious. Who do you. No, I do actually want to know who.
Sam Morril
Let's shout out some people who are really cool.
Mark Normand
I got a million names.
Sam Morril
I'll shout out Maddie Weiner. She's killing at the Cellar right now. I really like her stuff. Stuff.
Mark Normand
Yeah. Ian Lara, Jordan Fisher, Sean Murphy, all very strong. Anthony DeVito. He's not that young, but white folks, there was. There was two blacks in there. Let's see.
Sam Morril
Ian. Ian and Jordan are not white.
Tan France
Oh, wait, wait. There's someone else that I love.
Mark Normand
Oh, yeah.
Tan France
Just like to say special and useful. YouTube. Do you know who Zach Nowi Towers is?
Sam Morril
Yeah, I know the name. Yeah, I know.
Mark Normand
I've done his show.
Tan France
It was.
Sam Morril
So he's blonde guy, right?
Tan France
He's a blond guy.
Sam Morril
Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, I know him.
Tan France
I thought he was like 20, but it turns out he's my fucking age. He popped up on my Instagram and then I watched his special. It was incredible. It was so well crafted.
Mark Normand
I did his radio show. He's really funny.
Tan France
Quick funny.
Sam Morril
Very other young folk who are killing it. I'm trying to think.
Mark Normand
I know I always blow this.
Tan France
I don't know.
Mark Normand
The young ones, they're out there. Oh, geez. I'll think of something.
Tan France
Are you watching or. I'm assuming you don't watch a lot of comedy because it's your world.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Tan France
Do you watch funny af? It just came out.
Sam Morril
No, we're gonna have Caitlin and Usaman, I think, together.
Tan France
Okay. So Caitlyn and Usama are incredible. Did they win? Don't tell me. I don't. No, no, I'm on the last episode.
Sam Morril
Okay. We just told you so.
Tan France
They're. Those two are fantastic.
Sam Morril
We've known Caitlin and Usama for a long time, so it's cool. It's cool to see comics who are working hard. Like a little bump.
Mark Normand
Yeah, they were ready.
Tan France
Good job.
Sam Morril
We did those, those reality shows.
Tan France
Oh, you did? I know.
Sam Morril
Last comic sucked.
Mark Normand
They've gotten better since we. They. They us over. They'd put us in a car and make us wait, you know, like, oh, the car's not working. We'd all sit in a hot van and fight.
Sam Morril
Well, clearly Kevin Hart was like, I'm. I'm going to make this as comic friendly as possible. Whereas before, you're dealing with Netflix is way more comic friendly than NBC.
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Tan France
Yeah. It seemed like they were really happy. Like, I think they were treated well.
Sam Morril
I'm sure it's still miserable. Those realities, anything where you pin people together, that's. That's why I like your show is like one of the few reality shows where it's not like a competition.
Tan France
The thought of being on what I don't watch Housewives or any of those Shows. But I know, obviously I'm not stupid. I know what the premise is. And I just thought, could you imagine going to work every day, every day, knowing my job is purely just to fight today? Like, I've got to call someone a cunt on camera today.
Sam Morril
Some people are really good, though. It's like some people are just, like, gifted with the ability to be like, I like confrontation.
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Sam Morril
I mean, I wouldn't call it a gift. I guess it's a curse.
Tan France
But no, no, I don't shy away from confrontation. I want to something very clear. I think that actually the Internet apparently knows that I can be quite harsh. But I think the common misconception is
Sam Morril
Jimmy Carr is killing himself right now.
Tan France
I think that the common misconception is because I speak the way I do, that you can say whatever you want. I'm not going to say anything. Oh. I will always have retort. Like, if anyone. I learned this back in the day when I was a kid because I was such a skinny. I was a tiny kid. I was skinny and I was gay. I think that people always thought, I'll destroy him in a heartbeat. And my favorite thing to do was like, okay, just give me what you got. Give me what you got. And I'm gonna make you fucking cry. And you're gonna go home to your mom and tell mommy what this gay did to you. So, yeah, you learn that real young. I'm like, okay, bitch. Like, you think you're big, strong, straight guy. Let me show you.
Mark Normand
Anyone else Hard.
Sam Morril
I just love the idea of you getting bullied. And you're like, allow me to destroy you.
Mark Normand
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tan France
Nice try, pussy. Yeah.
Sam Morril
And so did you get bullied a lot?
Tan France
To go back to what I just said, I think so many tried. I was an exceptionally violent child. Exceptionally violent.
Mark Normand
Whoa, Violent.
Tan France
Yeah. And so look, I was brown in a white community. My dad made it very clear, you will not come home beaten. If someone swears at you or hits you, you will make sure you almost kill them. Like, if they're not bloodied, there's a problem. If you come home bloody, there will be hell to pay. Whoa. So me and my brothers just learned real young, talk to me wrong and I'm gonna beat the shit out of you. And then we were sent to boxing, so we really knew what to fight. And so, yeah, I loved when somebody would come up and try and treat me like shit. I'm like, okay, bitch, this is funny. You take your turn. Now it's my turn.
Sam Morril
I love the idea of you beating the shit out of a kid and then being like, and that's the outfit you chose, that's just awful. Damn, that's cool. Did your dad know you were gay at a young age or no?
Tan France
No.
Sam Morril
Do you think he would have been cool with it or. No.
Tan France
Well, no. God no. But he passed away when I was 13, so I think it was too young to know. And to be fair, no one would have known. No one would have known. Up until the time when I came out, I was living in Timberlands baggy jeans. I didn't speak as softly. Like I was a very, very aggressive kid. And so no one would have suspected whatsoever that I was gay. When I told my family, who I'm really close with, they were completely shocked. Shot. They're like, but you're one of the most aggressive people we know. But that's an act you play.
Mark Normand
How old were you when you came out?
Tan France
I did it over the course of like 10 years, but I started when I was like 17, 18.
Mark Normand
Oh, yeah. Pretty late.
Tan France
That's hilarious.
Mark Normand
Wait, which one is you?
Tan France
That's a really good question because none of those brown kids are me. I don't know any of that. I don't know any of the brown people in that picture.
Sam Morril
The kid's got good hair, though. Look at that.
Mark Normand
Yeah, beautiful.
Tan France
I have literally no idea why those brown people are meant to represent me. Never seen them before in my entire life. Don't know whose family that is. It ain't mine. That's me. Go bottom right. That little kid. Okay, I was four and my mum dressed me in that one with the bow tie, but that was me as a kid.
Sam Morril
Wow.
Mark Normand
Okay. Yeah, you don't. You just look like a regular old guy.
Tan France
Regular kid, regular kid.
Sam Morril
Wow, you really had a glow up. Look at this middle one.
Tan France
This emo bitch. Don't make me make 10 seconds.
Sam Morril
That's how we'll end the episode. He just curbs on Salak. He was like, jesus killed over this.
Tan France
No, you're absolutely right. Do you know what? It's not the Justin Bieber I was. Do you remember somebody called Pete Wentz from like the early 2000s? Was he in a boy. A group of boy band or something?
Sam Morril
Good Charlotte, maybe.
Mark Normand
So that guy. Oh, yeah.
Sam Morril
Oh, wow.
Tan France
I really liked that guy's hair. He didn't look like that. He had the sweep over hair when he was younger and like all the girls loved him and I thought, okay, I'm going to be that guy. So that's what I was going for.
Mark Normand
Damn I think I nailed it. Yeah, that was a tough era.
Tan France
What was really weird is seeing a Pakistani emo guy.
Mark Normand
That was a rough era. That rap rock kind of. Lip biscuity, Good Charlotte, all that Fred Durst.
Sam Morril
Yeah, that was a weird time.
Mark Normand
Totally.
Tan France
Okay. That bottom right there, that was the look I was always gonna. But he was, like, on the COVID of every magazine. I was like, who is that guy?
Mark Normand
Mm. Oh, Fall Out Boy.
Sam Morril
Yeah. Was there like a. Was there like, a celebrity who made you realize you were gay or, like, that's a hot guy right there.
Tan France
Yeah, yeah. Did you ever see. God, what was it called? Awol. Do you know what AWOL is?
Mark Normand
Mm. Mm.
Sam Morril
Is that the band?
Tan France
No, no, no. There's a movie with a guy called Jean Claude Van Damme from the 90s.
Mark Normand
We know him AWOL.
Tan France
And watching AWOL, I made my family get the A burner because we were poor, so we couldn't afford it, and so we got a burner copy of awol.
Mark Normand
Whoa.
Tan France
Something else in America.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Mark Normand
Ah, that happened a lot, Lionheart.
Tan France
Yeah, that happens a lot in American movies are called something else in the uk. Anyway, so Lionheart. I just thought, who is. Who is this man?
Mark Normand
And he could do the split.
Tan France
And he was offered in spandex.
Mark Normand
Yes.
Tan France
Like, his jeans were basically spandex.
Sam Morril
He had a run.
Tan France
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mark Normand
He almost turned me. It was close.
Sam Morril
I was on Conan with him once, and I could tell the interview was not going well because Conan, halfway through the interview, was like, why don't you try and move on me?
Mark Normand
Oh, no.
Sam Morril
He was just looking for anything.
Mark Normand
Pull up. Him dancing in. Is it Bloodsport where he's drunk and dances?
Tan France
See, here's the thing.
Mark Normand
This dance is hot.
Tan France
I. I think I broke, like, VCR tape because there's so many. Yeah, there you go.
Mark Normand
Oh, man.
Tan France
And he had no moves. No moves.
Mark Normand
Yet
Tan France
the most attractive thing I'd ever said.
Mark Normand
Wow.
Tan France
I've got those pants. Oh, wow. I really did get inspired by this guy.
Sam Morril
Look at this.
Tan France
No one had that physique in the 90s. No one else.
Sam Morril
And he had charisma for sure. Pull up the clip of him on the motorcycle. Have you seen this one? The shootout? It's the most stupid shootout scene ever. Yeah, no, he was. He had a run.
Mark Normand
Oh, yeah. All my friends moms liked Jean Claude.
Sam Morril
Is that one the second?
Mark Normand
Yeah, there. This is the most target.
Tan France
Have you seen New Orleans love, Todd Target?
Sam Morril
No. This is the most insane shootout scene of all time.
Mark Normand
This is tan going to work in
Sam Morril
New Orleans I mean, this is pure 90s, 90s.
Tan France
I know everyone our age says it, but the 90s were fucking incredible.
Sam Morril
The movies in the 90s alone.
Mark Normand
Movies, TV, the music.
Tan France
Also, did you see that guy when he jumped over that fire? That was so clearly another fucking person.
Mark Normand
I know.
Tan France
He didn't have the same hair whatsoever. We didn't. We did not give a shit.
Sam Morril
There was a movie in the 90s called Three Ninjas. Remember that?
Mark Normand
The Three Kids Ninjas.
Sam Morril
The grandpa in the last scene, he's supposed to be this great martial artist, and he's just an old, tiny dude. And you can so clearly see a stuntman when he's doing, like, back flips. It's amazing.
Tan France
I don't know if you were the same when you were a kid, but when you'd watch martial art movies, once the thing was over, you would fight.
Mark Normand
You would fight.
Tan France
So I had brothers, so I would do it. Did you ever see a movie called In England? It was called Big Trouble? A Little China?
Mark Normand
Yes, of course. Kurt Russell.
Tan France
Oh, my God. I was upset.
Sam Morril
Oh, this is it.
Tan France
This is it.
Mark Normand
Wait, what happens?
Sam Morril
Big Trouble in Little China. Yeah, for sure. Famous director, wasn't it? Wasn't it someone big who did that movie?
Tan France
No, Really?
Mark Normand
I don't know.
Sam Morril
Yeah, maybe this is. Yeah, the grandpa.
Mark Normand
Oh, that was a bad punch.
Sam Morril
This is such a 90s villain. That haircut.
Tan France
I know. He always had to have a pony.
Mark Normand
Yeah, it was very seagal.
Sam Morril
This is killer.
Mark Normand
Whoa. They didn't show the kick.
Sam Morril
I don't think that was the grandpa for some reason.
Mark Normand
Aw, man.
Sam Morril
Remember, he gets him with the jelly beans.
Tan France
Yes, it's the same grandpa. He's the same guy in this. He fights in this, too. He's like the sensei in this. Oh, God, I fucking loved it. It was incredible. So it was the Asian dudes. There were three Asian dudes who were like, the ones with magical powers. Yes, they were the sons of the God guy. Oh, my God. I was obsessed. Like, one of them, that one who's snarling, did the lightning. Yeah, him. Oh, and the flips. My dream was to do the backflips across the recessed courtyard just to impress, like, all. I don't know why I thought the girls would be impressed. To impress everyone. To be like, just backflip across the entire thing now.
Mark Normand
Are you a gold star?
Tan France
There's one up above. Gold star. Just so you know. Which means you didn't even come out vaginally. I can't. What's it called?
Mark Normand
Wait, wait, what? Yeah, come out vaginally.
Tan France
Yeah.
Mark Normand
Oh, you were C section. Whoa.
Tan France
Never touched it.
Mark Normand
One.
Tan France
Oh. It's called platinum. It's called platinum.
Sam Morril
You were in a C section?
Mark Normand
No, I was at the veg.
Sam Morril
I was a C section.
Mark Normand
Ah.
Sam Morril
Big ass.
Tan France
You started out platinum.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Tan France
Then you ruined it.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Tan France
But, yeah, Platinum.
Mark Normand
Wow. Platinum.
Tan France
No, thank you. Thank you for applauding that.
Mark Normand
That's impressive. Out of the gate.
Tan France
I do want you to know this, and I want you to know this, like, deep from my heart that this is true. Even though I'm platinum, I've seen more vagina than you two will ever see in your life, I'm sure. Ah.
Mark Normand
Where?
Tan France
Well, I make clothes for a living. And I see women in their underwear and naked all the time. I've seen so many.
Sam Morril
He's a peeping tombo.
Tan France
You got us be where? And how can I.
Mark Normand
The only thing higher than platinum would be if you came out an asshole.
Tan France
I don't know what we call that. Yeah, Real skill.
Sam Morril
That's awesome. You and the gerbil from Richard Gere right here.
Tan France
But, yeah, I think that straight men are like me and pussy. I'm like you. Calm down, little boy. Like, you've not seen anything.
Mark Normand
Now, is that. Is that a bum you out a little.
Tan France
It depends on who's. And so I went over and we had a couple of actresses join us for dinner. Some of the most famous actresses in the world. We were there hanging out, and. And I had said. I don't know how it came up in conversation, but I'd never seen a vagina, like, in that way. I'd seen them, but. But never, like, seen seen. We were talking about holes. Do you know how many holes are in a vagina?
Mark Normand
Holes? Well, there's the main hole, and then there's the pee hole. So I would say two, we're failures
Sam Morril
of the school system here.
Tan France
Yeah.
Sam Morril
What do we got?
Tan France
No, give me your answer.
Sam Morril
I was gonna go two, too. Are we way off?
Tan France
Apparently it's three.
Sam Morril
Really? We have a lady in the room.
Tan France
You can't. Yeah, she's a lady. You're right.
Mark Normand
I forgot there was a lady.
Tan France
No, no, no. We have a lady in the room, so we're not gonna look at her or talk to her. So there are three, from what I'm told by these two actresses. And so I was like. I had no idea. I've never. I've never really seen one. So I had seen many, but just whilst we're getting changed in my studio and never thought to look, look, because that Would be impolite for a gay man. Actually, the straights also don't look when you're not asked to look. Anyway, so she said, come with me. I was like, what do you mean? And the other was like, oh, my God, are we gonna do this? And she was like, yeah. So we went to the bathroom, she took her jeans down and showed me exactly what everything was and how it operates. And what was the most surprising when I was like, what's that thing? And she was like, oh, that's my tampon string. I was like, oh, my God.
Mark Normand
Who is this?
Tan France
Oh, my God. Wow. What are you doing? Take that away. Don't take that away. It really was. Don't take. No.
Sam Morril
He said tampon string. She's like, 80, but I just guessed why.
Tan France
No. Who's.
Mark Normand
No.
Sam Morril
Helen Mirren.
Tan France
No. What, do you think Helen Mirren would just show me her vagina?
Mark Normand
That's what's interesting.
Tan France
Just so the audience know, he just pulled up porn. No, it's not her. I was in complete shock.
Sam Morril
Wow. So you're getting invited to better parties than us?
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Sam Morril
I'm like, you guys want to come over and watch the Knicks all over pizza? You're seeing celebrity vaginas.
Mark Normand
You are.
Tan France
And then she told our friend to show, and our friend was like, no, I'm not fucking showing you, dickhead. And she was wearing. Do you know what a boob tube is? It's just this fabric that goes around. There's no.
Mark Normand
Oh, like a tube top.
Tan France
Yeah, tube top. Sorry, in America called tube top. And so she was like, okay. And then without giving her any notice, she just turned and pulled it down. She was like, at least show me your boobs. I was like, I've seen those. I don't care about those.
Sam Morril
What a party, man.
Tan France
Was he even a party? Party was just a nice, quiet dinner. It's just an interval during dinner.
Mark Normand
And are these attractive women shockingly beautiful? Oh, they're just showing gay guys everything.
Tan France
Shockingly beautiful.
Mark Normand
Wow. You know what we have to spend to see that? I get it for free.
Tan France
They're not an only fans. You don't.
Mark Normand
Okay.
Tan France
You're not gonna spend money on them, but gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. Anyway.
Mark Normand
Wow her.
Sam Morril
The comment section's me running wild right now.
Tan France
Janet was again. I. I've seen many. I know what they look like. It was the most beautiful vagina I've ever seen.
Sam Morril
Well, we have to. We know it's a certain age because of the tampon, so the detectives already.
Mark Normand
Good point. Good point.
Tan France
If it was somebody younger than somebody who has a tampon. I'd be terrible. I wouldn't have been in that situation. I just need you to understand.
Sam Morril
I think I speak for Mark too. I say I'd be glad to see Meryl Streep's vagina.
Mark Normand
True.
Sam Morril
Legendary.
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Tan France
A lot of range, but it is legendary. Yeah.
Mark Normand
Yeah. Wow.
Sam Morril
I didn't mean to bring it to a screeching hall.
Mark Normand
I'm thinking about vagina now.
Tan France
And then life got even crazy.
Mark Normand
Oh, man. He's the one in Leftovers, right? Leftovers. By the way, huge hog on Thoreau.
Tan France
Yeah.
Sam Morril
He would go through the jogging.
Mark Normand
Yes, yes.
Tan France
Pull that scene up.
Mark Normand
But I don't want to get too excited.
Tan France
I need you to know he is one of the greatest comedy actors. Have you seen him in anything else? He's fucking incredible.
Sam Morril
He wrote Tropic Thunder.
Mark Normand
No. He did.
Sam Morril
He co wrote it.
Tan France
What?
Mark Normand
Yeah, he said so.
Sam Morril
American Psycho. He's funny as hell in that.
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Tan France
And even just general conversation, he's so funny. He's in. Do you ever watch the show? There's no reason why you would watch this. You know who Amy Sedaris is, right? Of course, of course. Okay.
Sam Morril
Strangers with Candy.
Tan France
Incredible show. And also the TV host. I forgot his name. Steven is amazing in it.
Sam Morril
Oh, yeah.
Tan France
So good.
Sam Morril
Look at it.
Mark Normand
He's got like a potato. What's going on here?
Sam Morril
That's a weird shape, though. It looks like a French cruller.
Mark Normand
Sunday Morning Cafe.
Tan France
So he was an Amy Sedaris show, which is At Home with Amy.
Mark Normand
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Tan France
And he plays multiple characters on the show. His comedic timing is incredible. And he always plays a ridiculous character. His body's insane. I know. Yeah, yeah. He's. He's one of.
Sam Morril
You don't get to eat anything if you look like that, right?
Tan France
He doesn't eat. I don't think he eats dessert even now. He's not a dessert person whatsoever.
Mark Normand
Pull up his dating.
Sam Morril
Dude. That's gotta be a crazy diet.
Tan France
I want to you each know that even there he's probably like 50.
Mark Normand
Damn. 50.
Tan France
He's in his. He's in his mid-50s now. And his body's insane. Insane.
Mark Normand
Wow. Good genes.
Tan France
No, it's not that. He works really hard.
Mark Normand
Okay.
Tan France
No, he works out so much.
Sam Morril
That's such a cop out thing to say.
Mark Normand
Okay, now it's just fun knowing Jennifer Aniston was getting pounded by that hog. That's exciting.
Sam Morril
For years. Look at that. Six years.
Mark Normand
Good for her. Okay, I'll be there.
Sam Morril
Weren't we supposed to get Amy Sedaris on this podcast. What happened there?
Tan France
She's a fucking genie.
Sam Morril
Busy.
Tan France
Can I tell you the craziest story about her? I met her through Justin. So have you. Do you ever go to Ray's bar? Raise Bar, My favorite bar in New York.
Sam Morril
Pull it up.
Tan France
Owned by Justin, a guy called Carlos and. And, oh, my God, Mark Ronson. You know, the DJ Mark.
Sam Morril
Sure.
Tan France
So they own Rays Shout Out Raise. It really is the best bar in the city.
Mark Normand
Wow. Throwback.
Sam Morril
We're so good about it.
Tan France
That boat booth in the corner, if ever I go, they're very nice and they let me have the booth because they'll partition it off. And I was going one day because Justin was hanging and he said, do you want to come? Come hang. Went over, turned up, and Amy Sterris is there. And I'm a mega fan of Amy Steris and I never met her. And at this point in my career, I know how to keep my cool. So I just went over and said, hi, what are you doing there, Amy? And she was like, oh, I'm just having a snack. She had brought to this dive bar saltine crackers and really expensive caviar. And she was there putting caviar on saltine crackers and just having a snack there. It was one of the weirdest experiences, thinking, of course you brought fancy caviar.
Mark Normand
Yeah, right.
Tan France
She's insane in the best way. I think she's an absolute.
Sam Morril
I ran into one of the street ones. I don't know her, but I was with Todd Berry, who knows her, and just. She did like a drive by zing on Todd Barry, really. She called him old or something, and it just. It crushed him. But he was. We were laughing, but it was like,
Tan France
I don't think she can't. I think that that's just who. She cannot be wildly funny.
Mark Normand
Have you seen her house?
Tan France
No.
Mark Normand
Oh, my God. So cool. Quirky, like, really fun decorations. She does a show out of there. Like a show. Pull up her house. It's incredible.
Tan France
Is that where she does her actual show? I believe so that I can know it. If you haven't seen it. At Home with Amy Sedaris is one of the greatest comedy shows on tv.
Sam Morril
I gotta watch it.
Tan France
Incredible. She's pretending to have a lifestyle show, like a Martha show.
Mark Normand
Right.
Tan France
But she booked everything up. And then her assistant is Cola Scholar. And if you don't know who Cola Scholar is. Oh, my God. Cole plays a woman who lives next door who's her assistant, and he plays it so hard. It plays it so. Well, it's gentle genius.
Mark Normand
I mean, what a family. Her and the brother. That's a. Quite a bunch of talent there.
Tan France
I know. I really. So I was doing a comedy show called Dressing Funny for Netflix, and he was gonna be our guest, and I quit the show the day before. He was meant to be my next guest because I love his work.
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Sam Morril
How is it working with Tina Fey? Because we. We. I've never seen Mark freeze up. We were in an elevator with her at a Knicks game, and Mark turned to me. He goes, I'm gonna say something. And he completely chickened out. And I. And I get it.
Tan France
So nice.
Sam Morril
Because we just. Because we're fans, and we don't want to cross that line.
Tan France
Okay. Okay.
Sam Morril
30 Rock is like the comfort show.
Tan France
I watch it almost every night.
Mark Normand
Okay.
Tan France
I'm gonna be so lame and give you my. My famous person story. So I was on a Red Carp, my first ever Emmy's. The first year we had only been on TV for, like, three months, four months at this point. Literally just got onto the red carpet. Carpet, and Tina Fey ran towards me and said, oh, my God, I can't believe you're here. And I thought, she can't be talking. There's no way she's talking to me. I turned around thinking, who's talking? I can't believe that I'm seeing Tina Fey. Then I realized, it's me, bitch. And so I was like, wait, who do you think I am? She's like, dan, you did get. I was like, oh, yeah, okay.
Mark Normand
Yeah, that. It is me.
Tan France
Anyway, we got along great. And she was like, I'm such a fan. If you ever want to hang out, it's like, of course I want to fucking hang out. You kidding me? You're teen a f. Ing veggies. And so I said, look, this is really weird, but I'm about to start this comedy show for Netflix. If you'd ever consider being on it, thinking, I'm just gonna shoot my shot. She was like, for you. Yeah, I'll do that. And so a couple of weeks later, on Dressing Funny, she agreed with Rachel. Oh, my God, I love her. Why am I forgetting her name? Rachel Dratch. I'm just chatting Rachel. That's no disrespect to you. She's an icon. So her and Rachel Dream Ratch just did my show, and my husband came. He never. He's never been to anything I've done. He couldn't give a shit about this job. He was like, can I come to set I was like, yeah, come to set. Because we are obsessed with my favorite show ever. Yeah, he just sat and watched. Every time in between takes, I'd go back to the green room, and he's like, you're talking to Tina Bay.
Mark Normand
She's a feeling.
Tan France
And then, yeah, we developed a show together, and I couldn't believe it. And so we got to zoom. I'm praying she will never see this, because the first two zooms we went on sneakily. I took a picture of her on my zoom, thinking, I just need to know that forever I can look back at this picture and be like, I had a zoom with Tina Fey, right?
Mark Normand
Whoa.
Tan France
Insane.
Sam Morril
I had a thing like that with pitching a show with Brian Cox. I never snapped a picture. I was too chicken. But we had him attached to do a show with me, and it never went anywhere. I mean, maybe it will at some point, but it doesn't matter. Just getting Brian Cox, I was like, he liked the script I wrote.
Tan France
That's literally what I was about to say. Who gives a shit if it never goes anywhere?
Sam Morril
I wrote with Mike Lawrence, by the way. But, yeah, we were in awe of Brian Cox.
Tan France
Yeah.
Sam Morril
But, yeah, Tina Fey is another one who's just like, to be the straight person on that show and still get all the jokes off.
Mark Normand
Oh, yeah.
Sam Morril
Like, it's crazy. Like, you just made it so you're as funny as everyone in the show, but you're supposed to be like, the. But it was crazy writing.
Tan France
I actually think she has the best lines of all the lines. I mean, I know Tracy Morgan's incredible.
Sam Morril
And Alec Baldwin.
Tan France
No, of course.
Sam Morril
Unreal.
Tan France
Tina. Her lines are better than anybody else's, and I will say that. And I'm not just saying this to blow smoke. Brass. She's so much better in real life, really. She's wonderfully kind. I was really nervous thinking, there's no way somebody this big is gonna be a good person. Right. Because I was so new to all of it. I just thought that they're all cunts. Like, they've got to be cunts who are that famous. She could not be nicer.
Mark Normand
So cool.
Sam Morril
I think that's the reason we didn't want to say anything, because I watch 30 Rock all the time, and I'm like, I just want to, like, love her.
Tan France
Yeah.
Sam Morril
I almost don't want to meet her, you know, because she's. Because she's so awesome.
Tan France
But you're right about the elevator. There's certain places where she can't escape,
Mark Normand
you know, it feels weird I was
Sam Morril
about to say on the way out, it's okay sometimes.
Mark Normand
Yeah, exactly. Let the door open.
Tan France
Yeah. There's certain places where people will say whatever they want to say to me and anywhere else. I'm like, this is lovely and I really appreciate it. And I'm sure you've got your versions of it too. But my two places, I'm like, please, please don't talk to me here. Elevator. Because you don't know how long you're in there.
Mark Normand
Yep.
Tan France
But the one that happens the most, it happened yesterday is when somebody follows me into the bathroom.
Sam Morril
Yeah, the urinal's an annoying one.
Tan France
Well, like I haven't used the urinal in nine years because of that. It happened my first week of becoming an entertainer and someone came to the urinal next to me, started peeing and then started to talk to me about how much they loved the show. And I was like, listen, mate, I don't know what to say. My dick's out.
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Tan France
Literally got my dick out. And then after that, I've never used a urinal again because people have followed. It happens so much more than you think. Yesterday I'd gotten up a night 19 hour flight and then the manager of the Delta Lounge said, can I have a picture? I was like, yeah, sure. He said, but I can't take it on in the lounge. It's against company policy. I was like, okay. I said, I'll be back in a minute. Use the restroom. So I went to the restroom and he came in to have a picture of me there.
Sam Morril
That's not against company policy.
Tan France
So I turned and said, mate, that's so nice of you, but I need you to wait outside. And he was like, oh, did I make it weird? I was like, yeah, you're like, unless
Mark Normand
you're going to show me your vagina.
Tan France
You made it weird, man. Like, why would you come to the restroom with me?
Mark Normand
That's crazy.
Tan France
Yeah.
Mark Normand
Whoa. I've never had that one. Never had the restroom thing.
Sam Morril
You've never, you've had the urinal. You're next to the urinal.
Mark Normand
I guess so. But never the follow in. I, I, I get the, the at the restaurant a lot where the guys are standing over you. And I'm like, oh yeah. And I'm like, how long I'm stuck here? So you got gotta leave.
Tan France
Yeah, yeah.
Mark Normand
That's stuff.
Tan France
Don't you just do that? Well, it was really nice to meet you.
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Sam Morril
That's the move. That's the line.
Mark Normand
Yeah, I guess so. I love a drive by. Hey, Comedy.
Tan France
I love a drive by. It's my absolute favorite. Yeah. I will take a Drive by over and I. You can do it all day, every day. That doesn't.
Mark Normand
All day whatsoever. So just a quick ego boost. Yeah. Boom.
Tan France
Yeah. Also, it's nice for the people around who don't know you. You're like, yeah, bitch.
Sam Morril
I try to. I think the elevator, too. I remember. I think we were at a game. Bill Bradley was in the elevator. Nick's last legend. Like, you know, old guy now. But I literally. I'm like, I don't want to bother him. On the way out of the elevator, I was like. I was like, huge fan. Thank you for everything and that and that. And he was like, thank you for. And keep it that quick.
Tan France
Yeah.
Mark Normand
Also, what I love about Tina Fey, her at the Knicks game, she just, like, everybody's hooting and hollering.
Sam Morril
It's very Liz Lemon.
Mark Normand
It is. It really is.
Sam Morril
And Tracy's very Tracy.
Mark Normand
And he's right next to her.
Tan France
Like, Tina could not be more Liz. And I know that we're not meant to see her as the character, but it is, like, 100% it's her. Like, a lot of the time, you'll meet people that you all met, people that you love a character. Then you meet them in real life. You're like, oh, no, you're really fucking boring. And you're not. Of all that character. But she can't turn it off. She literally can't turn it off. She is Liz.
Mark Normand
I love that. We gotta get her on. Peters. Get Tita on here.
Sam Morril
All right.
Mark Normand
Also, Same initials.
Sam Morril
Only 10 minutes left. This is a smooth transition into peeves if we can.
Tan France
Okay, okay.
Mark Normand
A little bit.
Tan France
So that bathrooms. Sorry. Look at what fucking professional app. I'm gonna do your fucking. Your link to this. Not only a bathroom is my issue. The biggest issue I have is on a plane. There's been a lot of discourse about it recently online. So here's my biggest issue. When you're on a plane and you just want to recline, and then that person behind you will make a complaint. Or even worse, push it back.
Mark Normand
Whoa. That's fighting words. Push it back. This is my seat, man.
Tan France
You have no idea. Yeah. How hard it is to be like, don't call them a cunt.
Mark Normand
Don't call them a. Don't call them a cunt.
Sam Morril
The pushback's aggressive, but I gotta say, as a tall guy, I hate the recline. It always crushes me. It always crushes my legs.
Tan France
But I've got A really important question for you. How is your height my problem?
Sam Morril
Wow, these are fighting words.
Tan France
I can't afford that seat and that is a long ass flight and I need to.
Sam Morril
No, on a long flight, you gotta recline. I'll give that for sure.
Mark Normand
Yeah, man. Would you do the same to a fat guy?
Tan France
I would do the same to anyone. Anyone. You know, I just think if again, I paid. Most of the discourse online is just because you paid for it doesn't mean that you get to take up my space. Once somebody reclines, you fucking recline, right?
Sam Morril
This is an airline issue, though. They have turned us against each other because they've made the plane seats too small. So instead of being mad at the airline, you're mad at your neighbor. They have turned us on each other and I resent that.
Tan France
Yeah, that's fine.
Sam Morril
This is a flight issue. These seats are the same size for people who are smaller. Generation.
Tan France
Generation ago.
Sam Morril
Because these are old planes.
Tan France
Yeah, that's fair, that's fair. But would you ever say to someone because you are tall, don't recline your seat?
Sam Morril
No, I would never say it, but I'll be like, ugh, it's like one of those.
Tan France
And I'm fine. You keep your own anger to yourself. That's the respectful thing too. Just, just swallow it and just.
Sam Morril
I've seen the photo of the person with the hair, the long hair above the screen.
Mark Normand
Oh, that's crazy.
Sam Morril
Disgusting.
Mark Normand
They should be deported.
Tan France
I saw someone do this and I know it's so mean. And I'm not suggesting you do it, but it's so what I would want to do, but before I became public. Put chewing gum in that fucking hair. Someone put chewing gum in the hair. I'm like, yeah, I see. You deserved that, dickhead.
Mark Normand
Look at that. That's appalling. In the coffee. Whoa, what a move.
Tan France
Yeah, I totally get it. Like, how disrespectful.
Mark Normand
And then drink the coffee, put gum in.
Tan France
It's so disrespectful to do that. I get the calm. I get it.
Mark Normand
Now to piggyback on the recline. I hate this guy who uses your seat to get up every time he's yanking.
Tan France
Oh, my God.
Mark Normand
Sometimes I'll hit my ha. Little bit, you know? Drives me crazy.
Sam Morril
I'm like, any aggression or hostility that leaks into my seat is tough.
Mark Normand
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You getting up shouldn't be my issue.
Tan France
Speaking of getting up, do you. Do you have a preference on where you sat on the plane window or aisle?
Sam Morril
I'm an aisle man.
Mark Normand
All day.
Sam Morril
All day.
Tan France
Wow. I'm always window. I will never ever go.
Sam Morril
Because you're too famous. I think you need to hide.
Tan France
I'm not gonna say that, but I will say it does make it harder for people to talk to me or disturb me in a fucking. If I'm by the window. You're absolutely right. And so a window though means that every time I need to use the restroom, I have to ask somebody.
Mark Normand
That's why I don't do it.
Tan France
Which. No, no, I absolutely get it. Before I became an entertainer, I always had the aisle so I could just get up whenever I wanted to. Also, you get to stretch your leg when the cart's not around, which is great, but I need the security of that window seat. I just need to just be able to tuck away to be left alone. And so I need to get out of the way when I need to pee. And the guy yesterday was pissed with me the entire flight. And so at one point I did say to him, I know it's annoying, but what do you want me to do? Yeah, I have no option.
Mark Normand
I need to pee, right? Yeah, but you gotta. You gotta pee. You gotta pee. But are you over peeing? Some guys pee like 10 times.
Tan France
I try and do it as little. I will drink as little water as possible so I don't have to. It's maybe like twice. Yesterday was a 19 hour flight. It was gonna happen a lot.
Sam Morril
That's crazy.
Mark Normand
That guy's nut.
Tan France
Oh, my God. It was not.
Sam Morril
I've done it. I've apologized. When I've gotten that scene.
Mark Normand
You're a peer.
Sam Morril
I'm a peer. Oh, I pee a lot. I drink a lot of water and coffee, so it's like that combo is going to kill you.
Tan France
Yeah. But you're in an aisle, so you're fine. But if you're in a window, that would be annoying. But if you're. If you're in a window seat, you've got to respect it and be like, I'm not going to drink too much water and I'm going to get up much.
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Sam Morril
I'll say this. If you're sleeping, mount me, climb over me. I don't care.
Tan France
Yes, I've done that.
Sam Morril
I've done.
Tan France
However, then I have to do what you hate because when you mount somebody, you have to use the front. Yeah, you gotta. You need the support.
Mark Normand
But it's always awkward when they wake up. Right. When you're face to face.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Mark Normand
That's weird.
Tan France
Yeah. Yeah. I just need to mention one other thing. You just pulled up the Deli Boy, Season 2. The COVID has Fred Armisen.
Mark Normand
Ooh.
Tan France
And I don't know Fred at all. We're not friends, but I see him regularly at events and he'll always say hello. He's very nice. Fred's one of those people that is such a sleeper. Where do you know him?
Mark Normand
No, we don't know him. Actually, I like the show.
Tan France
When you first meet him, you think, oh, he's not at all what he is on tv because he's fucking hilarious. And he just seems like a really quiet, boring guy for 10 seconds. Then he'll do what you mentioned Amy Sterris does, which is she'll burn you without you noticing. And you'll be just having a conversation. Then he'll drop something in. You're like, you funny fucker. Like, where? And it's insane, really. He came out of nowhere.
Mark Normand
I love that.
Tan France
But every time, again, it's been like 10 times that I've seen him and we just did a press tour together, and every time I see him, I just think, oh, yeah, I forgot, you're not Fred from snl. But a few seconds in, you'll drop something fucking crazy. Oh, yeah, you are hilarious. You're just a lot more chill in real life. He's so insanely funny. Some people just have that where they're not fighting for a joke and it's got nothing to do with what you're talking about.
Mark Normand
About.
Tan France
They'll just drop in something funny that you just think. You think like a. It's almost as if you're on the spectrum, because no regular person would think that.
Mark Normand
Yes, I like that.
Tan France
And that's why it's so funny.
Mark Normand
All right.
Sam Morril
And honorable gays.
Mark Normand
Can I tell you about honorable gays real quick, please?
Tan France
Okay.
Sam Morril
You look like Michael Imperioli a little in that shot. A little bit.
Mark Normand
Sopranos.
Tan France
I do. I've never seen Sopranos.
Mark Normand
Whoa.
Tan France
I've never seen the Godfather.
Sam Morril
I've never seen any Sopranos. Is a must have.
Tan France
Yes, yes. So, honorable gaze. I do a show a little bit. I do a show. Actually. You're not wrong. You're not wrong. I do a show with two Instagram comics, but they're also now touring comics, Eric Sedano and Rob Anderson. I pose a question from Reddit, which is, do you know, what am I? The asshole is on Reddit? It's where, let's say, if you example, you've had a situation between you and you don't quite know if you've been the dick or he's the dick. But you've had a fallout, so you tell the Internet, you tell Reddit this is a situation. And then you always ask at the end, so am I the ass?
Mark Normand
Oh, I like that.
Sam Morril
Are you, like, a mediator here?
Tan France
Yeah. So I'm the judge of this. And so we. We have the stories, we animate it, which I think is so funny. The animation is hilarious. So the story comes to life, and then I decide once the other two have fought both sides of which they think is the right party, which one they think is the wrong party, and I decide who is actually in the wrong. It's so funny. It's only 15 minutes. They're five minutes each story. And I think that it's great concept
Mark Normand
because we need that in the world. You know when you get the guy on the subway blaring music, and you go, hey, can you turn it down? He goes, fuck you. It's a free country. You're like, wait, how did I become the bad guy?
Tan France
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mark Normand
You need that guy to step in and say something.
Tan France
Yeah. And I am. It's the most me. And so I think everyone's gonna think I'm a really harsh person once they've seen this show, but I just think, no, I'm just a real person on. On tv. I've been forced to try to pretend that I'm just, like, always nice.
Mark Normand
Right.
Tan France
That's just the whole Queer Eye brand. I'm just. I've never gotten a real opinion on anything. And on this, I'm like, nah, you're a con. You're a con. Why would you do that?
Mark Normand
There you go. All right. Is that online? It's online.
Tan France
It's on YouTube. There's four episodes out. We've got another four coming. And then we start shooting season two.
Mark Normand
Hell, yeah.
Tan France
Love it.
Mark Normand
Online's the way to go. TV's going on.
Tan France
TV's dying, man. It's almost over. It's so sad.
Sam Morril
I got. What do I have coming up? I got Lisbon, Athens, Budapest. Tickets still available in Budapest. Holy shit. Zagreb. That's gonna be great. Tickets. Moving there. Vienna, Warsaw. Just added a second show in Warsaw, Helsinki, and then Stockholm and Copenhagen. I'll add some more dates, but hopefully our summer is okay. Booked with that movie.
Tan France
So.
Mark Normand
Trying to shoot a movie.
Tan France
Can you tell us about the movie? You're not sharing yet.
Sam Morril
It's just two drinking buddies who have a liquor company, which we do have, with bodega cat whiskey, and it's. It's kind of their journey, and Failure and stuff. But it's fun. It's got hard. It's. It's a good. It's a really good script, I think.
Tan France
And you two of the leads.
Mark Normand
Yeah.
Tan France
Okay.
Sam Morril
And we co wrote it and joke a minute.
Mark Normand
It's funny. It's kind of a throwback with.
Sam Morril
With two other writers, Esther Steinberg and Noah Gardenshwart already in production. We're working on it. We're working on it. We'll see if that things. We kind of need to know a lot this week.
Mark Normand
It's like your thing. There's a meeting to have a meeting and all that.
Tan France
Did you pitch already? No.
Sam Morril
Independent financing, so we're not pitching. We're just gonna make it ourselves.
Tan France
Great.
Sam Morril
We got the money. It's all about the deals now. And we don't give a shit about that. We're just kind of like, whatever. We shouldn't be saying this, but like, we don't care. Just fucking make the movie.
Mark Normand
Yes.
Sam Morril
We're not trying to get rich on this. We just want to do.
Tan France
I of you do scripted already?
Mark Normand
We wrote it.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Mark Normand
No, no, no, no.
Tan France
But are you already in scripted stuff? Like, have you done a movie?
Mark Normand
Oh, he has a few.
Sam Morril
I made a movie, but yeah, it's not. It's gonna be out next year.
Tan France
Wait, quick question.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Tan France
You're both in it, and you just said I can't act.
Mark Normand
Well, I'm playing me, basically.
Sam Morril
Dude, we've done script reads with him. He's amazing in this. He's himself.
Tan France
Imagine that. That's true. You're on stage and you're acting on stage.
Mark Normand
I get. I got my.
Tan France
I've honed my. He's good.
Sam Morril
He's lying. He's a good actor.
Mark Normand
Break out of it.
Sam Morril
The investors are listening.
Tan France
He's lying. I can act.
Mark Normand
I'm a great.
Sam Morril
He is a good. He's a good actor.
Mark Normand
All right, I'm in Tempe coming up. That's. That's my boyfriend there leaving. I'm in Oak, Michigan and Cleveland, Ohio. Keep going. Seattle, Washington, Tampa, Florida, San Francisco, Houston and Nashville.
Tan France
You do a lot of shows?
Mark Normand
Oh, yeah. Going to Canada as well. Calgary, Regina, Minneapolis, Denver. Come on out. Markdomaccomedy.com check us out on punch up. Get some bodega cat.
Sam Morril
How many holes in Regina, Mark?
Mark Normand
Three holes in a vagina. Vagina, apparently. I'd like to see that. And I'm gonna take a look at my wife tonight. Get down there with a magnifying glass and a ring light and go to town and it's sad that a gig I taught us more about the vagina that we know.
Tan France
You're welcome.
Mark Normand
All right. Check out Tan. Thank you, folks.
Sam Morril
Thank you, Tan.
Tan France
Sunday's the day for my next offender.
Mark Normand
A bit of piva wreck. You know, the beer juice.
Tan France
Close. I've had a little too much burping. And Norman's talking shit about the fucking poke.
Mark Normand
And I get down in the same
Tan France
way up on the roof like the cops coming?
Mark Normand
And naked Samuel is feeling, feeling dangerous I'm out to lunch here in New Orleans? This woman doesn't look like I remember her? And I get down in the same
Sam Morril
way
Mark Normand
we might be true.
In a vibrant, freewheeling episode, comedians Mark Normand and Sam Morril are joined by Tan France (Queer Eye) for drinks, jokes, and wide-ranging conversations about comedy, fashion, fame, sex clubs, queer culture, and much more. The trio dive into experiences in the comedy industry, swap personal stories, rate each other's fashion, debate airplane etiquette, and share showbiz peeves and recommendations—with Tan delivering both style wisdom and candid stories about his personal journey and celebrity encounters.
Tan France [00:26]: "You should make that more clear to PR people we said 'might be drunk.'" Sam Morril [00:32]: "We didn't say definitely. It could happen."
Tan France [02:26]: "I was a fan of yours... and you couldn't have been more awkward. I went back to my green room and I was like, that guy's obviously homophobic." Sam Morril [02:45]: "No, it's my face that's even worse! I'd rather be homophobic. I can change that. I can't change my face."
Tan France [05:44]: "You don't want to become a different person, otherwise, it's distracting... You've never looked like that, why would you look like that?" Tan France [06:13]: "It's not distracting. This shouldn't be a fashion show. I just want to focus on what you're talking about."
Tan France [06:25]: "You guys are safe. You're fine." Sam Morril [15:19]: "Dude, I could catch salmon with these fucking toenails."
Tan France [12:07]: "Actually, I did accidentally once go to a sex club... walked right back out." Tan France [12:42]: "I work out hard, man. Like. Yeah, I just hide it."
Tan France [20:06]: "Here's my point. You should be able to buy something so inexpensive and make it good. If you can't, you're not a good stylist." Tan France [21:29]: "No one would know... people just assume you have to spend a fortune to look good. Now, that's bullshit."
Tan France [17:03]: "My issue is that she's fair game for everyone just because she's Bezos's wife. Whereas if she was any other woman, we'd say no."
Tan France [28:11]: "I've never felt safer being gay anywhere in the world than in Utah." Tan France [37:13]: "Japan is truly my favorite place in the world. It's incredible. We shot the show there and... now I go back every year."
Tan France [62:15]: "Straight men are like, me and pussy. I'm like, calm down, little boy. You've not seen anything."
Tan France [53:13]: "I was an exceptionally violent child... My dad made it very clear, you will not come home beaten... you will make sure you almost kill them." Tan France [54:48]: "I did it over the course of like 10 years, but I started when I was like 17, 18."
Tan France [46:19]: "It's not you, it's your personality. No, it's not your personality. It's my fault... I want to be caught off guard. I don't want to know the punchline is coming every fast."
