Normal World

In this episode of Normal World, Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela break down Trump's shocking order to bomb Iran's nuclear sites using B2 bombers and bunker busters, all while Israel launches simultaneous strikes on military and prison targets. 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. From Trump's f-bomb-laced ceasefire claims to Steven Seagal jokes and AI's moral limits, it's one of the most unfiltered episodes yet.Today's guests on Normal World are comedians Derek Richards and Jimmy McCartney.SponsorsChef IQ Summer grilling season is here and CHEF iQ Sense makes you a grill master!

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. Today's guests on "Normal World" are author Matt Bechtel and comedian Melissa Hager.

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.

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, Angela, and 1/4 Black Garrett (out today, returning next episode) are joined by guest host Derek Richards. Yoshi Obayashi returns with firsthand insight from the Diddy trial, a visit with Mindhunter inspiration Dr. Ann Burgess, and a deep dive into the origins of FBI criminal profiling. They cover serial killers like Ed Kemper, BTK, and John Wayne Gacy, explore how fantasy drives violence, and question why institutions often protect predators over victims. 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. They connect stories from the courtroom to failures in youth sports, the porn industry, and cultural repression around sex.

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, Angela, and 1/4 Black Garrett (his chair is here, his body is not) are joined by guest host Derek Richards for another round of barely contained chaos. 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. It's frat life, but sadder. Somehow this episode also connects etiquette guides, Detroit truck stops, and a water park in Michigan.

In this episode of "Normal World," guest host Derek Richards sits in for Dave Landau, joined by Angela, with 1/4 Black Garrett off for the night, and special guest Matthew Marsden, as they dive into the week's insanity. 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. The crew riffs on TSA confusion, WNBA ticket prices, looters hitting sushi joints, rising insurance rates, and ghost-town L.A. neighborhoods. Waymo cars flee. 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. The episode also touches on media gaslighting, broken trust in institutions, and the growing cost of speaking truth in a politically manipulated landscape.

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela are joined by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Charlie LeDuff and comedian Austin Robertson for an unfiltered ride through political dysfunction, media hypocrisy, and pandemic fallout. LeDuff shares the raw truth about Detroit's decline, from corrupt mayors and failed transit systems to the mysterious death of Tamara “Strawberry” Green. He details how nursing home deaths were buried under Governor Whitmer's leadership and how real reporting has been replaced by PR puppets. They grill Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) on campaign debts, Trump obsession, and the beagle experiments he can't seem to explain. The crew dives into COVID absurdities, from forced lockdowns and outdoor dining “rules” to kids trapped in screens while governors faked data and partied on boats. LeDuff even recounts riding with a body collector during the peak of the chaos. Merch Go to shop.blazemedia.com/collections/normal-world to shop our merch! Learn more about your ad choices.

They react to the controversial move by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to rename the USS Harvey Milk, question why Pride Month feels strangely muted this year, and weigh in on a bizarre Disney World lawsuit involving a 334-pound man and a faulty water slide. Comedian Shayne Smith shares a deeply personal story of religious conversion that shook up his life and career — sparking honest, emotional discussion about faith, purpose, addiction, and the fallout of cultural realignment. Elsewhere, the crew debates Skinwalker Ranch, psychic scams, Catholic guilt, media hypocrisy, and the rising backlash against corporate virtue-signaling.

They question festival-goers on gorilla combat tactics, favorite kings, ancient hygiene, and anime timelines. All three embark on absurd side quests involving maps, snacks, flirtation, and rogue diplomacy. Angela rolls with the madness while Gerard holds court, dishing out innuendo and royal judgment between flagons. There's a "Star Trek" subplot about blending in with the past, a baseball plate-breaking tournament, debates on monarchy and crime stats, and questions about who deserves to be king for a day.

Trump Slams Putin AND the Media Like a G! | Ep 263In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela open with riffs on Michael Jordan's move to broadcasting, Trump's “very beautiful gift” comment involving Putin, and chaotic visuals featuring bowling balls, bare feet, and mohawks. A demo of Meta's new AI-powered smart glasses adds a POV twist to the studio, sparking conversation about surveillance, wearable tech, and AI creeping into everyday life. They mock Steven Seagal's ties to Russia, roast social media clout-chasers, foot pic marketplaces, and bizarre roommate stories involving stolen cars and batarangs.

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela dive headfirst into Biden's cancer diagnosis, Jake Tapper's sudden narrative flip, and Diddy's insane baby oil empire. From Biden's bike crash and Jill's talk show defenses to Kamala's collapse and Hunter quietly running the country, nothing's off-limits. They roast CNN, Don Lemon, and Jake Tapper; break down Gavin Newsom's suspicious post-debate timing; and explore how RFK Jr. was denied Secret Service protection during his campaign — until after the Trump shooting. Bongino and Kash Patel suddenly changed their stance on the Epstein case — just as questions about redacted files, JFK's health, and body doubles resurface. Random Seagull returns to roast Steven Seagal before the show spirals into the Trump hotel shooter, Diddy's secret parties, and disturbing trial details involving Cassie, baby oil, and lube spreadsheets. Hollywood's filth gets dragged into the light — Nickelodeon's foot obsessions, Dan Schneider, Me Too's blind spots, and chaos involving Amanda Bynes, Topanga, Aunt Viv, and Kanye's cousin lyrics. From Catholic cover-ups to haunted basements, the crew rips through scandals, humiliation rituals, and real estate horror stories — ending with one very cursed pineapple.

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela unpack Hollywood's dark side, spotlighting Terry Crews' sexual assault by WME agent Adam Venit and linking it to Brendan Fraser's similar experience. They mock celebrity run-ins with paparazzi and share stories of being mobbed after shows. The focus shifts to Nancy Ruth Mace, U.S. Representative for South Carolina's 1st District since 2021, who stunned Congress by showing a nude silhouette she says her ex-fiancé secretly recorded.

In this episode of Normal World, Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela break down Joe Biden's aggressive prostate cancer diagnosis and the conveniently timed release of Original Sin, the new book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson alleging a cover-up of Biden's decline. They question how this could've gone unnoticed during his presidency, with Tapper flipping from defender to exposer, and Dr. Zeke Emanuel suggesting Biden had cancer since 2021. If Biden had cancer for years… what else have they been faking? From there: Fabio, goose trauma, Seagal's chairs, and a surprise rap name. Then it's AI Darth Vader, voice-selling ethics, and how tech is flooding culture with derivative sludge. As AI fools more people and feeds on its own content, the crew wonders what happens when machine-made nonsense replaces truth entirely.

Known for his usually laid-back style, Theo firmly stood his ground when confronted by an aggressive heckler, captured in shocking footage from TMZ. The crew breaks down the incident, supporting Theo's calm yet firm response and discussing why setting boundaries is increasingly important for public figures.

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.

Today on Normal World, Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela dig into the viral case of Shiloh Hendrix, a woman who called an autistic Black child the N-word—and somehow ended up a millionaire through GoFundMe. The crew breaks down how blatant racism is being rebranded as “free speech” and how both political extremes have replaced common sense with outrage. They reflect on Trayvon Martin, systemic injustice, and the emergence of a “woke right” that mirrors the same behavior it once ridiculed. From antisemitism to identity tribalism, they call out the absurdity of online purity tests and culture war grifting. Faith, race, government distrust, and the erosion of empathy all come into focus—before spiraling into hilarious chaos featuring weed PSAs, catnip trivia, food rankings, Mexican chefs, and a deep dive into the density of flight attendant BBLs.

Today on Normal World, Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela roast the 2025 Met Gala's “Black Dandyism” theme. Crispin checks in from the red carpet in radioactive couture while the crew breaks down absurd fashion choices—capes, canes, feathers, extravagant hats—and debates where “dandy” ends and a player-inspired look begins. The tone shifts as they unpack Diddy's high-profile court case: racketeering, criminal allegations, jury selection drama, and a controversial hotel video. They question media bias, Hollywood silence, and whether this is real accountability or just another distraction. Theories range from early release to escape, with comparisons to other disgraced figures in entertainment. From scandals and shady connections to sentencing speculation and courtroom antics, the team doesn't hold back. Dave also shares his near-heist involving a carnival ATM truck, reflecting on missed opportunities and bank bailouts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Virginia Giuffre's suspicious death reignites frustration over Epstein's client list and media silence.

The team mocks how the NFL legend, once known for controlling everything, now appears to be controlled himself. The conversation expands into riffs on Katt Williams, Shannon Sharpe, Will Smith, and Hollywood's disturbing rumors and hypocrisy. The crew draws sharp parallels between the collapse of Detroit and the decline of Hollywood, blaming California's economic failure on political grift, bad policy, and corporate land grabs.

Today on "Normal World," Matt McClowry fills in for Dave Landau, joining 1/4 Black Garrett and Angela for a sharp, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt episode. The main focus is on guest Jimmy McCartney — a rising comedian who shares how performing for military bases became both his livelihood and calling. Jimmy details how Elon Musk's government cost-cutting initiative DOGE has unintentionally crippled morale-boosting entertainment on bases, putting his career and troops' mental health in jeopardy. Despite the fallout, Jimmy remains supportive of the effort to rein in government waste, even at his own expense. The crew also riffs on Elon's villain arc, male enhancements, and Haley Joel Osment's blackout arrest. Jimmy reflects on what it means to entertain troops across the U.S. during a time of massive budget tightening. It's one of the most unexpectedly thoughtful episodes to date — and still totally unfiltered.

They move through Easter chaos, an Australian carjacking, and a broader discussion about the Vatican, legacy, and power. The WEF's leadership change leads into critiques of global institutions, while Kanye's recent behavior and RFK Jr.'s autism stance raise questions about mental health, pharma, and food safety. AOC and Bernie's latest messaging is unpacked, along with the decline of once-rising political stars. Podcasting is praised as a rare place for honest conversation. The group also addresses gender hypocrisy around the draft and ongoing political opportunism.

In this episode of Normal World, Dave Landau and Angela are joined by Derek Richards, filling in for 1/4 Black Garrett. The show opens with Derek portraying Kamala Harris' fictional VP pick, Tim Walz, as a painfully awkward stand-up comic. Guest Adam B. Coleman, author of The Children We Left Behind, shares his story of growing up fatherless—navigating broken homes, homelessness, early institutionalization, and the long-term effects of childhood trauma. He describes life without male role models, bouncing between cities, and how sports and Scouts offered glimpses of belonging that never quite filled the gap. Becoming a father gave him a sense of purpose he never had. The crew dives into America's epidemic of fatherlessness and the cultural decay fueling it—parental neglect, therapy as a bandage, kids raised like friends, not children. Adam challenges how Western society justifies family breakdown while ignoring the emotional wreckage left behind. Through blunt honesty, dark humor, and cultural commentary, the episode explores why stable families matter, how boys become men, and why the consequences of abandonment are too often dismissed. Adam B. Coleman is today's guest and the author of this powerful and timely book, The Children We Left Behind: How Western Culture Rationalizes Family Separation & Ignores The Pain Of Child Neglect.

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau and Angela are joined by Derek Richards, filling in for 1/4 Black Garrett. They break down a wild CIA report revealing a Cold War-era encounter where Soviet troops allegedly fired on a UFO — only to be turned to stone by a blinding alien explosion. The KGB file details five humanoids emerging from a downed saucer, merging into a sphere of light, and vaporizing 23 soldiers, leaving only two survivors in the shade. From there, the chaos snowballs: WNBA salaries, MS-13 welfare checks, and Coachella absurdity. Funeral mishaps, casket scams, Detroit gun salutes, and Scooby-Doo logic all make the cut. The crew explores why some women date killers, forgotten sitcom characters, and alien probing theories. It somehow keeps escalating — into purple drink nostalgia, freezer pops, alcoholic freezies, and party nights. Add in a few Beatles lyrics reinterpreted through a very different lens, and it somehow all fits.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
