- Mark Normand is a podcaster, an actor and a comedian.
The mere discussion of some topics can cause huge controversy. Both sides of every issue are adamant that their opposition is fundamentally evil, malicious, bigoted or a secret race of lizard people. What is driving this huge demand for outrage? And can we do anything about it?
Expect to learn Mark’s takes on the Bud Light & Miller Lite controversies, why brands have completely lost their sense of humour, whether you have engaged in Digital Blackface and why it makes you racist, the ethical dilemma of incest, why AI girlfriends will destroy society, whether Tom Hanks is part of the Illuminati, if there’s a joke that is so offensive it should never be told and much more...

They did an experiment where they put a bunch of rats under stress and they dealt with it by attacking one another. It's It's symptom of our internal cultural hopelessness and stress... directed at one another.
Bro what the fuck is gaming doing positive for the world?
6:30 all the words are made-up.
It’s Subjective, not Objective.
It’s Non-Objective, non-Factual.
From Marxism being re-branded to Critical Theory,
to Critical Gender/Race Theory…….
It’s all made-up, Marxist-based nonsense!
“White privilege”,
“Systemic oppression”,
“Racial equity”,
“Patriarchal oppression”,
“White fragility”…..
It’s ALL made-up nonsense
Dread pool? I say 10 months till he has ratty dreads and adopts cannabis culture to the max. Outlandish proposal?
Nice stache! 👍
This quote is absolute GENIUS
“Many people don’t have an opinion until they’re asked for it, at which point they cobble together a viewpoint from half remembered hear say before deciding that this 2 minute old makeshift opinion will be their new hill to die on”
The smart person would reply “I don’t have enough information to form an opinion on that matter”
Reminded me a lot of this quote I read a while back: “Nothing is falser than people’s preconceptions and ready made opinions; nothing is sillier than their sham morality.” - Petronius; the Satyricon

I'm so happy to Chris finally interviewing Kevin Hart.
Chris is finally physically manifesting into his self-help guru final form.

Sure but he had to leave the UK in order to let his ginger flag fly.
Mark has never lost his train of thought and not found it again! Simply remarkable... Happens every show he does, and he ALWAYS finds it. Uh-hundred percent
Lolol while I 💯 know what you mean, I’m laughing because I’m pretty sure I saw him lose it and not find it on the last episode of Tuesdays with Stories.
Watching him lose it twice in a row was a new one, and Chris cracking up the whole time was so funny. Excellent conversation!
He's incredibly sharp! I'm often astounded by how quickly he can crack an obscure joke from any random word or phrase. Dude has a neural gift.
It's all the benzos, he's on a crash course with those things :/
He is the complete opposite of Burnt Chrysler who can never hold his train of thought, or find it.
Never seen a dry yet comedic conversation work out so goddamn well. Interesting conversations in all directions.
He’s the most rational comedian I’ve heard of. Not just for punchlines, but as a default.
Fukin Mullies😂
this conversation is the comedic reprise we all need right now ❤
This was a fun watch. I really like both of these guys. First time hearing Mark. He's genuinely funny.
@@shawnbruce6934 Mark is funny from the start. Quick witted and just someone you know was that way from childhood. He lives his image well.
It’s 5 years too late.
We have all denounced “woke” nonsense by now,
yet these two brand warriors are just barely hinting at questioning the larger narratives.
They’re supposed to be edgy!
They’re supposed to offend!
@@MasterMalrubius nizjtOq,i❤6,t j
not really
I love hearing Mark go a little deeper about the stuff he jokes about. Makes his stand-up even better to see the other half of the iceberg of the short jokes he tells and I super agree with everything he's said.
I agree. He's rapidly becoming my fav 👍comedy 🤷♂️
I'm so happy that Chris is giving much needed exposure to this brilliant yet underrated comedian ❤️
i dont think mark is underrated haha,
Mark Normand is somewhat mainstream though right?
/s for anyone about to reply with a "umm actually..."
Mark is Great.
I'm sorry none of these people on thread got your sarcasm.
Was in church one Sunday a couple of years ago, large crowd maybe 2000 people. When the minister was going on about how great twitter is he asked for a show of hands who was on twitter - no one raised their hand. I didn't raise my hand either. I think this society treats twitter with way, way too much reverence.
The media is obsessed with twitter.
I agree... but at the same time I always see insane ideas and views manifest on twitter, then 6 months later I will see it leaked in to broader society after it gets normalized. It almost seems like culture is partially downstream of twitter.
Mark is truly the funniest , and most versatile podcast guest/host in my opinion
Mark, Shane Gillis and Theo are a gift in these hard times.
13:49-14:17 was truly hilarious! Hate it when that happens! 🤣
Yes that was fucking crazy😂😂
I absolutely love these two together!
It's people being influenced by social media and fired up about essentially trivial things rather than real world problems.
Totally
Great point! Same thing applies to the 24/7 "news" channels. We are spending an incredible amount of time consuming "news" that essentially doesn't affect us, and then spending additional time being upset about or talking about those things. Add that time up, over a lifetime, and it's a lot. It's not inconceivable that a lot of folks will be on their deathbeds and come to the terrifying realization that they spent YEARS of their life consumed and upset by things that never really amounted to anything, and that's really sad. It's something each of us really should be aware of.
Clickbait titles to rabble rouse
Yeah like where my damn keys are or how many times today my dog ate his own shit. It's nuts dude who cares about all this nonsense
How many gay things do you have to do before you become gay?
Cuts to Chris rocking the most vilagey of village people mustaches.
80s style porn career incoming?
1:15:50 This is pretty spot on. I think where the anger is coming from is this sense of changing the narrative of something that's already fine. This has happened to video games, comics, etc. The idea is, "What you like is bad because x, y, and z. This needs to change to be more inclusive", but people forget that by changing x, y, and z you have excluded your original target audience that liked the product to begin with. Most of the anger around these things stems from liking something, and not wanting it to change because it's fine as is. This also includes the whole girls in bikinis commercial. I like girls, I like girls in bikinis, I like beer. Therefor I like girls in bikinis advertising beer. When you make a commercial and tell me that I'm "bad shit" because I like girls in bikinis how do you expect your audience to react?
I think the bottom line is, keep your politics out of your entertainment. This is a general rule. There are exceptions. There are good entertainment that is political or socio-political. That's fine. But when your audience wants to escape politics and enjoy your entertainment, and you push politics on it, they abandon your entertainment.
There's also the general sentiment at this point that it's being forced and it's not organic at all. Race swapping one character is not a big deal but when you race/gender swap every single character you know it's coming from a disingenuous place. They didn't do it because it's interesting or because that actor happened to be the best for the role they are doing it to push their ideology
@@anonony9081 I hear this argument made often that it's disingenuous and so it's pushing personal politics etc but can you explain exactly what you mean by that. What politician benefits when movie roles that were traditionally white characters are cast as non-white characters? And also what's a little frustrating is that the same energy can't be found in any other character choices. This is Hollywood that we're talking about, right? It's like every other facet of capitalism all about the bottom line. Studios cast the youngest, most attractive, most physically fit, diverse, actor or actress that will get people buying tickets. Hollywood casting will always be cynical and will always be disingenuous.
And I guess instead of focusing on the person who sees a character portrayed by and actor or at actress of a different race and chooses not to see that movie, I think of How movies like the Black panther sincerely affected little boys who superhero who looks like there older brothers were dads or uncles for one of the first times ever. Obviously I know that you're discussing when roles are swapped out bye and actor of a different race and not necessarily a movie like Black panther where it was an integral part of the plot but the fact that representation truly changes lives is still true.
Anyway I guess at the heart of the matter the industry that we're discussing is Hollywood and to only get angry at something that is genuinely harmless makes it appear that there's something rooted inside that person causing them to react the way they are reacting that they should probably work on.
TLDR, it’s the transformers. The transformers are the problem.
@@anonony9081imagine caring about actors 😂. Get a life and stop watching mainstream media?
I might have to listen to this one twice. So much hilarity 😂
Holy crap. Did not expect this combo but this is great.
"ambient anxiety" what a great term for what is happening right now. Thank you!
Mark has always been a hilarious comic. I’m so happy that he has finally getting the recognition he so deserves. Mark Normand has become a national treasure!
“Who Dat!”⚜️
They are good together.
Theres no awkward pt boring part in this interview.
The opening was everything I would expect from a Mark Normad x Chris Williamson conversation. Nothing more, nothing less. 🤘
Normand is the KING of the one liners😂😂
Damn I forgot about Mark. Was binging alot of his interviews and stand up last year. This is refreshing!
Came for the jokes and love of comedy. Stayed for the extraordinary profound conversation about the the insanity of today's "moral" society.
Not that I've seen a whole lot of Mark, but this is the most serious I've seen him, and he was still funny.
'Muhammad is the ultimate Karen' - Mark is low key genius
I laughed at that too.
@@shawnbruce6934 CANCELLED 😂😂
@@sarahj909 yeah, but this kind of cancellation sometimes comes in the form of a bullet.
Love Mark Normand. A grade comedian, but he always makes some amazing political points on each podcast he does! Probably my fav episode of yours. You need to do more easy-going, chilled vibe episodes. Great to see you all laughing so much
People will blame social media instead of taking responsibility for how they react and feel to pixels on a screen and different opinions.
Or stay the heck out of it. I stopped using twitter and miss nothing. Same with fb. No Instagram. Trying to cut on YT
This episode was hilarious 😂
"Then I blew him" 😂😂 Mark slips those in and like like 10 minutes straight
Love this. It's a frank, funny conversation, and I'm here for it.
"Anybody can get molested."
😂 I cracked up! He's not wrong.
I laughed too 😂
I loved this conversation, and I’ve not heard of this comedian. Very excited to hear more. Chris,
Phenomenal job as per usual in just having meaningful conversations where I can garner a new perspective or learn
Check out Normand's "Out To Lunch"! He's one of the best joke writers of our time.
Mark is pretty funny
Mark Normand is one of my favs. And thanks to jim, I discovered this podcast. Great stuff 👌
Cool seeing so many people being introduced to Mark Normand for the first time here. I hadn’t seen/heard of this podcast until just now but I’m already sold after this episode. First time the algorithm nailed it for me
Great interview, Mark is one of the funniest comics working today. Whether its on one of his specials or just an appearance on a podcast he is funny as hell and crushes with witty crowd work!
Great show. Mark has insight on top of being funny.
No
Mark has insight and that is how he can be so funny.
My partner texting me to keep me up to date with the latest from the Vander Pump reunion as I’m watching this. Too perfect.
it makes me so happy to hear Netflix didn’t have any notes or redlines for Marks special!
Mark is a great comedian and I’m glad he’s getting more attention and I really like the kind of Mark we get when he’s on this podcast. Comedians always seem to have interesting perspectives on the state of the world.
13:55 had me in literal tears 😂😂😂
Not everyone is angry, it’s just the disproportionately loud. Are people insecure and disoriented by the pace of change in technology and their ability to cope and thrive economically…yes.
No, its about cultture, the unnatturalness of "diversty," etc. Not economcs per se. Wealthdoesn't make people happy, living in a simple, demographcally stable, moorally conservtive commmunity makes peo-ple happpy.
Also, menn are unhapppy because its so hard to get girlfriendds or keep a wife to-day and womn are unhapppy because deepdown they want to find one averge mann to marrry and stay with but don't.
Also, the lossofourtraditionalfreedom. Just the fct that I have to wrte like this to avoyd shdw bnning shows we havenofreeedom any more.
@@DryWall-wd4ei the sexes are unhappy because we both blame the opposite sex for our current problems it’s something that make both men and women bitter and unhappy
Great stuff. So thought provoking and funny. Love Mark Normand. I can't wait to see his special. I listened with my girlfriend and had to pause several times to interject and discuss things with her. Really great content.
Mark Normand is a champion! Wish more people would aspire to have his perspective on the world/life. He's a super-smart dooD!
These two gave a ton of chemistry. Awesome to see!!
I've never seen Chris laugh so much - nice! Great talk 🤩
These episodes are my new favourite. Can't wait for the next one. Real modern wisdom
I like that quote by Soren Kierkegaard that was mentioned - Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.
For American sports, Always hate on the officiating crew, wear the colors of the team your supporting,
The more you cheer or jeer the more fun it is
Be aware you can easily spend more on consessions than the stadium ticket
If you do catch a ball and you're near a kid, you will be ostrized if you don't give it to the kid
Those are the basics, good luck (reds fan)
The crossover we all didnt know we needed! Great convo
Man, I really appreciate good comedians like Mark and their perspectives on things. There is so much crazy shit happening and there are plenty of real issues but we just need a reminder not to take things too seriously for our own sanity.
What a great episode! Subscribed right after.
Thanks for bringing on my favorite comic 😁. Can’t wait for the new special to drop! COMEDY
such a great conversation, great balance of insightful and humorous
Sup my parkour pal
Awesome episode!! I just moved over to New Zealand so I'll definitely check Mark out when he's here.
Really dig this conversation and loving this guy sense of humor man. Thank you Chris for introducing me to this dude!
Man this is a really great episode. Marks a really funny, interesting and smart dude.
Kevin Hart, omg! :D :P
This was a really good conversation. I like your podcast, very engaging and balanced enough to learn something different or understand the known thing from a different perspective.
First time watching. Love your approach and questions, what your focused on. Will watch more.
Solid! I really want Jordan Peterson to have Mark on his podcast. Could be a hilarious and great convo. Make it happen Chris!
Of course that grifter also has a podcast, i bet its just him crying pseudo intellectual word salad in front of a webcam
To borrow a Mark Normand saying... what a snoozefest! Jordan Peterson is one dull, self-centered, tedious MF. Mark Normand is here to bring us joy keep them apart.
Normand is the GOAT!
Kiddy goat
Killing it! First Dr. K and now Mark Normand. Awesome!
Chris I really enjoy this podcast it seems you do a good job touching on current topics without obsessing and forcing your opinion and allowing other points of view to enter the conversation keep being open minded
Great conversation, Chris & Mark have a fun dynamic
Love Mark’s takes on life, very good common sense.
Tom Hanks' reactions to Ricky Gervais' jokes told me everything I need to know
Great conversation, both on point.
I love Mark talking. He always has his comedic mind running and it shapes his perspective. Shout out to the Tuesgays!!
Love seeing this combo
That was great, bring more comedians on. Love it
It's always great when Mark's not surrounded by comedians. He's still got the wonderful bite but he doesn't need to "show off"
Never heard of Chris before but this was a tre-fooking-mendous episode and I can see myself being a long time fan from here on out, thanks !
I played "Adventure" on the Atari 2600 when I was a kid. The avatar was a white square. Now I'm an adult and I'm a white square. That game must have traumatized me! 😂
Sue their ass!
Absolutely loved this conversation. Comedy!
What a wonderful conversation!
Hilarious and amazing podcast! 💯 new subscriber for a couple months now and I love your podcast brotha. I’ve been trying to find the courage to start my own podcast and listening to yours definitely motivates me more and more. Especially remembering you saying Joe Rogan helped you start yours. It’s crazy I forget you are in Austin Tx, I live in San Antonio Tx so very close. Would like to meet you one day if that’s even possible maybe even one day have a podcast with you whether it’s on yours or eventually mine. Thank you for this beautiful gift of content.
Do your thing, man!

Loved this episode, some levity in a current climate of seriousness.
You and Mark have great conversations
I Live in South Africa rape rate of 1 in 3. loadshedding and crime curruption and incompetence... no strikes no ppl need to get more angry and very quickly before the economy crashes.
Right we aren't getting mad about the stuff that we all should be angry about, instead we are distracted by things media/social media and the issues that small percent of people are so loud about! We need to get louder!
Anyone else like 🤔 impressed (is that the right word?) that Mark can play ball with this conversation and actually contribute and understand the subject matter so matter-of-factly? Dont get me wrong, Mark is a genuine, wholesome dude, his comedy is decent but versatile, but i guess he never seemed like this format would be his forte. That sounded condescending and i dont mean it to, cuz he is actually engaging to listen to in this podcast. He is subtly intellectual, and its a pleasant surprise.
love Mark - awesome episode
Chris can absolutely hang with the best of them. Jordan Peterson to mark norman this man with his natural charisma morphs into the perfect interviewer. Powerful stach 💪🏻💪🏻🍻🍻 love from Florida
Mark is a sage, and a guru
Mark Normand....yay!!!!! ❤❤❤
13:48 was such a genuine laugh from chris 🤣🤣🤣🤣 i was DYING!! lmfaoooooo
Chris, I like your 70's porn star look!
Dude. If your guest list was more comedians like Mark, I’d subscribe. Great conversation. Shane Gillis, next?
Can't wait for marks special, he's hilarious!!
More of these awesome as hell! Take Care Cheers!
That's why Dennis Hopper called Christopher Walken "part eggplant" in True Romance?!

Very good discussion.
You were in your element Chris. Mark brings out the best in you.
Thank you! This was so much fun.❤
Bud Lite did do a commercial with men dressed as women - it was meant to be funny and was taken that way - it was a hit
I REALLY, REALLY enjoyed this conversation....thank you so much. Keep on laughing everyone!
Love this. Walked a marathon. Mad hallucinations. It’s legit!
Never heard of him but he's pretty hilarious. His joke about how Italians say retarded was funny
Mark always says he’s a dummy but this pod proves just how genius he really is.
This pod isn’t what proves his genius, lol, his lightening fast wit and sharp humor have proved he’s on a genius level -literally and autisticly, I mean artistically.
