Ep 285 | Sydney Sweeney's Big American Breasts Are Back!

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela cover everything from bad movie choices to the strangest headlines of the week. It starts with the gang trading stories about accidentally recommending movies that scar people for life (yes, a Serbian film comes up more than once) and how Netflix by mail once turned family movie night into a nightmare. 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.

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela tackle the week’s biggest flash point: the uproar over American Eagle’s Sydney Sweeney ad campaign. The crew dive into why the internet called it Nazi propaganda, the absurd backlash against a denim commercial, and how corporate advertising has gone off the rails since Bud Light’s meltdown. They break down cancel culture, virtue-signaling, and the sudden return of “blue jeans as a hate crime.” The conversation shifts into a nostalgic, unfiltered deep dive on wrestling icons with a tribute to Hulk Hogan, covering WrestleMania III, the Dungeon of Doom, No Holds Barred, the legendary leg drop, and the moments that defined Hulkamania.

In this episode of "Normal World," the crew takes a break from politics, chaos, and current events and dives headfirst into a music video game show.

The rules are unclear, and the points barely matter. The only thing that’s certain is Jamal’s outfit will haunt your dreams. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela break down the sentencing of Bryan Kohberger, the former criminology student convicted of the Idaho college murders. They explore how Kohberger was tracked through a white Hyundai Elantra, DNA on a knife sheath, and sketchy phone data. His plea deal, bizarre silence at sentencing, and failed attempt to dodge the death penalty using an autism defense all get dissected, along with speculation on whether this was his first kill. Dave wonders if he’s been hexed after his car was smashed by a bird, for the second time in two weeks. They debate Angela’s possible witch powers, serial killer workout routines, and whether Ted Bundy really was the “hottest” murderer. Pamela Anderson kissing Liam Neeson, yacht crashes into Navy ships, cursed lottery winners, and submarine billionaires with Xbox controllers round out the chaos.Today’s guest on "Normal World" is Derek Richards.SponsorsMiracle MadeGo to www.trymiracle.com/normal and use the code NORMAL to claim your FREE 3 PIECE TOWEL SET and SAVE over 40% OFF.

In this episode of "Normal World", Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela tear through headlines with their signature irreverence. A $5.3 million Mars rock hits auction, Brittney Griner opens up about her detainment in Russia, and WNBA all-stars protest for higher pay—despite the league’s chronic losses. Stephen Colbert’s late-night show has officially been canceled, prompting a deep dive into the collapse of legacy media. The gang dissects the $40 million annual loss, corporate meddling, and why Colbert’s transformation from sharp satirist to political mouthpiece may have sealed his fate. Later, Hunter Biden breaks down the chemistry of crack cocaine, a pro-Palestinian protester crashes the Tour de France, and Gwyneth Paltrow’s new book reveals ashtray-flavored intimacy with Ben Affleck. They close with a satirical rundown of Ben-Gwyneth sex moves and a pointed look at whether America is retracing the final steps of ancient Rome.Today’s guest on "Normal World" is Jeremy Ryan Slate.

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela sit down with James O’Keefe to unpack his undercover dating sting targeting Disney executives. 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. O’Keefe explains how ego, power, and denial fuel confessions on camera and why even undeniable footage is often dismissed. In a world filled with redactions and rewritten narratives, he argues the truth still finds a way — if people are brave enough to speak it. Today’s guest on "Normal World" is James O’Keefe, founder of Project Veritas and current CEO of O’Keefe Media Group and Citizen Journalism Foundation, as well as the author of "Breakthrough" and "American Muckraker."

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.

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela dive into the bizarre aftermath of the Elmo X (Twitter) hack, where everyone's favorite red puppet allegedly posted about world-ending conspiracies and demanded that secret files be released. 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. They mock the internet’s wildest defenses of it and unpack how our culture increasingly demands that people ignore what’s clearly in front of them. Today’s guest on "Normal World" is Tre Stewart.

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.
