In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela break down the week’s strangest headlines and cultural contradictions. They open with a porn star’s unlikely career wish, high-end street-fighting classes in Manhattan, and the ongoing absurdity of the No Kings protests. From inflatable costumes to confused slogans, the crew unpacks the funniest moments from the movement. Gerard Michaels hits the streets to cover a rally firsthand, confronting protesters and revealing how little sense the slogans make. Back in the studio, the hosts react to the footage, question the politics behind the outrage, and explore how activism has turned into performance. The hosts then turn to Hollywood, dissecting Disney’s box-office flop "Tron: Ares" and Jared Leto’s failed attempt to revive the franchise. They close with a surprisingly dark look at the origin of the Smurfs and a round of listener voicemails filled with strange coincidences and celebrity hypotheticals. Today’s guest on "Normal World" is Derek Richards. SPONSORS Undertac Stock up now, enjoy premium gear that works as hard as you do, and lock in your entries for $100,000 in gold.
