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