The full conversation.
Six million people follow us on a screen. For one night, twenty of you joined us, to share, laugh, and connect.
Who you came to see
We are Alex and Tom. Two Parisians who moved to America and…
Six million followers. Billions of views. A Penguin book. Then it got a little out of hand: Macron, Trudeau, David Guetta, the Olympics, the World Cup. On August 5 we sat down, told the story, and let Naz Perez poke holes in all of it. The whole thing is on tape above.

Audience praise for Naz
I came for the Dune cast, I stayed for the amazing interviewer.
This interviewer BLEW ME AWAY. Her questions were so loaded with depth, complexity and a true understanding of the source material.
Interviewer had the whole cast flabbergasted with the first question. That was fire.
Guest of honor
We wrote a whole book that bridges our love of France and the USA.
Pardon Our French. Our life in America, in two accents,
published by Penguin.
