From there, the group shifts to speculation around Jeffrey Epstein, reacting to newly uncovered video footage and the news that Bill and Hillary Clinton have been subpoenaed by Congress. They broaden the discussion to larger conspiracy theories in a satirical take on outlandish theories, linking everything from Hitler's fate to the moon landing hoax and even 9/11. After that, a bizarre WNBA controversy gets the comedic treatment as they break down a spate of incidents involving fans throwing adult toys onto the court, spinning their own tongue-in-cheek explanations for this absurd trend. Later, they pivot to personal territory, swapping candid birthing stories and weighing in on epidurals, breastfeeding, C-sections, and the unfiltered realities of parenting.

They break down Joey Swoll's Hulk Hogan costume apology, how online mobs demand fake contrition, and why you should “post and walk away.” A mischief night pumpkin-smashing story turns into a Hulk Hogan flex that helps them avoid a felony and sparks a rant about cancel culture. From there, the conversation jumps to Sydney Sweeney backlash, American Eagle's clapback, Doja Cat's trolling, Lena Dunham vs. Odell Beckham Jr., Meghan Markle's podcast cringe, and AOC's “Jenny from White Plains” image, showing how comedy is beating outrage. They skewer the “possibly white” headlines around a Cincinnati jazz festival beatdown, highlight Gen Alpha's pushback against woke conformity, and dig into why trades, family, and independence have become the new rebellion, how the debt trap kills purpose, and the cultural cost of two-income households. It all wraps up with Somalia jokes and a list of things they would rather do than picture Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry together.

From there, they rip into "South Park's" latest episode, the White House's humorless reaction, and why leaning into the joke is always the better play. The nostalgia hits hard with a run through 1990s buddy-cop classics, Adam Sandler comedies, and why movies used to be fun before every script came with a checklist. Then the headlines get weirder: a Michigan Walmart stabbing, a man arrested for sniffing strangers at Nordstrom Rack, WNBA games stopping over wigs, turtles smuggled through TSA, and a road trip that ends with a crave case and regret.

O'Keefe shares footage from "American Swiper," where hidden cameras caught a senior Disney official allegedly admitting to Disney's unethical hiring practices. He opens up about the legal fallout, FBI raids, and betrayals that followed — including being ousted from the very organization he built. The group discusses the dangers of investigative journalism, the economics of truth-telling, and the growing difficulty of trusting institutions. They also dive into his latest exposés involving Johnson & Johnson and the FBI's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case.

    In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela unpack the rise of humanoid robots in public spaces, starting with a four-foot AI-powered android nicknamed the “Rizzbot” that was recently spotted walking through traffic in West Hollywood. The discussion shifts to Detroit, where another robot was seen roaming 7 Mile — before allegedly being robbed. The crew questions what these robot sightings say about the future of tech in daily life and how quickly novelty crosses into absurdity. They pivot to current headlines, reacting to a $3 million airport drug bust in Atlanta and Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins' arrest for domestic battery. From there, they examine a Baltimore pastor's run-in with teen carjackers and highlight Pope Francis' unexpected tweets about Spirit Airlines and Mastercard. The show circles back to Detroit, where a van crashes through a brick wall and bystanders quickly turn into opportunistic looters, raising questions about urban decay and collective impulse. Later, they revisit the case of Jacqueline Ades, an Arizona woman charged after sending over 159,000 texts to a man she met once, and reflect on what modern obsession looks like in the digital age.

The crew breaks down how the media handled it, imagines Elmo getting hired by the FBI, and questions why some posts triggered outrage while others barely got a shrug. They go deeper into the Epstein mystery — mocking the “client list” that never seems to arrive, joking about Ghislaine Maxwell's prison sentence, and reacting to Dan Bongino's sudden shift in tone. Trump's name comes up again, but as always, the real answers remain just out of reach. After discussing the new "Superman" reboot ignoring basic reality, the gang pivots to a viral story out of Seattle: a luxury yacht floating beside a homeless encampment.

    In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau and Angela are joined by Mike Imbasciani, filling in for 1/4 Black Garrett, as the chaos kicks off with stories of exes in the woods changing colostomy bags — and only gets more hysterical from there. A Ronald McDonald statue is stolen in Pennsylvania, sparking an epic theory involving RFK Jr. and sketchy surveillance footage. Then it's off to Las Vegas, where thousands have been living in storm tunnels — until a $15 million flood project begins flushing them out. Back above ground, Philadelphia is drowning in garbage as the city's sanitation strike spirals — and somehow it all ties into a roast of Will Smith's new album, which drops just as trash piles up across the streets of his hometown. From Philly's garbage crisis to Smith's musical misfire, the three connect the cultural dots with brutal comedy. They also riff on McDonald's app culture, creepy Happy Meal toys, and '90s sitcom stars. A “Half-Assed Top 10” reimagines black James Bond titles, followed by Biden impressions and jabs at Jake Tapper and Hunter Biden's laptops. The show closes with a mentorship draft for Shedeur Sanders — now apparently under Deshaun Watson's wing. Today's guest on "Normal World" is comedian Kris Olson.

    In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau and Angela hold down the fort while 1/4 Black Garrett is out for the day. They break down the AI arms race between Elon Musk's Grok and OpenAI's ChatGPT — and why every tech company now wants a language model to shape your worldview. Is Grok really the “free speech” option or just Elon's unfiltered Twitter brain in chatbot form? And why did ChatGPT censor the term “illegal alien” but still let you role-play as a non-binary mushroom healer? They take aim at censorship, AI-driven speech policing, and the growing influence of tech companies over what people are allowed to say — or even think. From OpenAI's latest brand pivot to Apple's increasingly invasive device scans, they explore how generative AI might not just rewrite language but reshape reality. Then it gets personal, with stories about men falling in love with chatbots, cheating on their girlfriends with AI girlfriends, and even marrying an app — raising the question of whether AI is replacing human connection … or just mocking it. They also react to the TSA's new rule allowing passengers to board U.S. flights without removing their shoes. They pull up a photo of Hakeem Jeffries and react to just how weird it looks.

After combing through explicit material and over 10,000 images and videos, officials somehow concluded there's no client list, no credible blackmail, and no reason to charge anyone else. Problem solved, right? The crew isn't so sure — especially after reviewing 10+ hours of surveillance footage from Epstein's cell, complete with a suspicious glitch. They unpack the twisted logic of trafficking victims to nobody, the DOJ's laughable search tactics, Pam Bondi's “it was on my desk” moment, and Trump's visibly irritated reaction when the topic came up during a Cabinet meeting. From Clinton and Trump to the unnamed pilots, island staff, and missing JFK files, the team questions whether we'll ever see real accountability — or if this is just another cover-up dressed in official language. Then it's on to the bizarre new lawsuit against Diddy, in which allegations include ketamine, Biggie's old clothes, and a disturbing incident involving a shirt and zero shame. It's graphic, surreal, and somehow fits right into the week's theme of elite absurdity. Today's guests on "Normal World" are Mike Imbasciani and Derek Cahill.

From there, the conversation turns to JFK conspiracy theories, Operation Mongoose, and the Irishman connection. They share stories of chaotic childhoods, crashes, curb hits, and what it was like growing up in cars full of ashtrays and fast-food wrappers. The crew also covers New York's new socialist mayoral candidate, creepy behavior in subway stations, Detroit's fireworks tradition being interrupted again by gunfire, and the slow death of comedy on screen.

Iran responds with missiles, drones, and threats of “everlasting consequences,” and Lindsey Graham shows up to invoke Hitler and push a religious war narrative. As the world edges closer to World War III, the team dissects the motives, messaging, and media meltdown — with razor-sharp humor and a heavy dose of skepticism.They also cover a Cardinals announcer's accidental slur, a country singer's HIV reveal, an unhinged ICE ad parody, and why Mission: Impossible should just be renamed “Mission: Incomprehensible.” Meanwhile, Cuomo's back, the Pope's on Twitter, and the government wants to run your grocery store.

    In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela open with headlines about Alex Cooper's disputed misconduct claim, Netflix's pay gap between Robin Wright and Kevin Spacey, and the unexpected vinyl release of "Brokeback Mountain." From there, the episode takes a darker turn into true crime, conspiracy, and cultural history. They break down the growing suspicions around the so-called Lady Bird Lake Killer, after several bodies have been found in Austin under eerily similar circumstances. The conversation spirals into theories about serial killers being part of larger operations, with names like John Wayne Gacy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, Ed Gein, and Richard Ramirez woven into stories about MKUltra, satanic symbolism, and government psyops. Also on the table: the Laurel Canyon music scene's strange military ties, the Franklin cover-up, and whether the Manson murders were manipulated to fracture trust in the 1960s counterculture. Melissa Hager and Matt Bechtel join for stories about pen pals in prison, city council at 22, and cars that doubled as death traps.

    In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela break down the tense and awkward exchange between Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz. With Iran launching missiles at Israel, Cruz pushes for military action, but Tucker presses him on basic facts like how many people live in Iran and whether the Bible really commands us to support the modern Israeli government. It quickly turns into a heated back-and-forth about war, spying, and theology. The crew weigh in on Mossad, WWIII, and whether we're already deeper into this than we realize. There's also a trip to the Waco compound, some Randy Weaver lore, and a lot of questions about who's really pulling the strings. Somehow, they also manage to cover a helicopter pilot oversharing on live news, a debate over Guns N' Roses vs. Poison, and a long tangent about fatty brisket, underwear, and flashing truckers.

    In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela dive headfirst into the chaos of a weekend that looked a lot like the opening scene of World War III. Israel launches a massive airstrike on Iran. Iran fires back. Caitlyn Jenner sips wine in Tel Aviv amid a missile attack and posts about it. Trump warns of nuclear escalation. They break down what's real, what's propaganda, and what smells like a setup. They skewer the rise of No Kings protests, question the motives behind suspiciously well-funded activist movements, and unravel the bizarre tale of a Minnesota lawmaker murdered just days after voting with Republicans on immigration. Elsewhere, they peel back the layers on CIA mind control programs, MKUltra, and the possibility that Charles Manson wasn't just a cult leader but a government asset. A shout-out to Glenn Beck's whiteboard feels less like a joke and more like a map of what's currently happening in the world. Today's guest on "Normal World" is author Matt Bechtel.

The group unpacks why high-profile trials are performative, how media and power structures hide abuse, and what happens when justice systems silence victims in the name of sensitivity.

Things kick off with Elon Musk's awkward apology to Donald Trump — an X post so strange it deserves its own investigation. The crew dives into the fallout, the internet's billionaire beef, and why Musk might be the Forrest Gump of tech scandals. Then it's on to Walmart-funded protests, tactical leaf blowers at riots, Crocs in prison, and a surprise Maxine Waters cameo that goes exactly how you'd expect. Derek and Dave trade war stories from their budget fraternity days — complete with fake bylaws, a bar called Hog's Breath, and a doorman who let them in with their moms' IDs.

ICE raids a Home Depot in L.A., triggering riots, tear gas, Craigslist “security hires,” and Trump deploying 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines. Elon Musk slams Trump's spending bill before dropping — and deleting — an Epstein accusation.

In Trans News, Simone Biles clashes with Riley Gaines over a transgender softball champ, then walks it back. They debate fairness in women's sports, the fallout for female athletes, and Marsden's decision to keep his son out of college athletics to avoid ideological pressure.

    In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela welcome Rachel Wilson, author of "Occult Feminism: The Secret History of Women's Liberation." Raised by a Marxist feminist mom and a dad who was a hardcore Rush Limbaugh conservative, Rachel turned down a full-ride art scholarship, became a mom at 20, and began questioning everything she'd been taught about feminism, education, and modern womanhood. She explains how elites, the CIA, and occultists shaped women's liberation — not to free women, but to control society. She breaks down education myths, male oppression, and why only 40% of men in history reproduced, compared to 80% of women. From TikTok witches to flipped shame culture post–sexual revolution, she explores how common sense now gets mocked by institutional insanity. Rachel also recounts her appearances on the "Whatever Podcast," where she and her husband, Andrew Wilson, have faced off with delusional guests pushing unrealistic standards and feminist talking points. Later, the crew reacts to the new 12-foot statue of a plus-sized black woman in Times Square, then discusses the civil lawsuit against Smokey Robinson — raising questions about power, silence, and the shield of celebrity.
