In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau and Angela kick things off while Garrett is away, sending love and support to him and his family. The show begins with Croatian free diver Vitomir Maričić shattering a world record by holding his breath for 29 minutes, followed by Gene Simmons celebrating his 76th birthday. From there, the conversation spirals into Starbucks bathroom chaos, Hollywood Boulevard encounters, and the stranger corners of Venice Beach. The panel then shifts to international headlines with India’s Donald Trump effigy protest before turning to the bizarre saga of a California “serial butt sniffer.” Florida’s rollout of AI drones designed to prevent school shootings sparks a wider discussion on SSRIs, overprescription, therapy, masculinity, and the Roman concept of virtus, with reflections on how social media reshapes modern connection and resilience. Later, Detroit crime reports collide with live police chases and debates over self-defense laws, raising questions about justice, fear, and restraint. The tone pivots again with a long comedic detour into Steven Seagal’s late-career persona, from “chair-fu” fight choreography to his viral Russian dance moves. The episode wraps with Disney’s push to recapture young male audiences, inspiring tongue-in-cheek pitches for reboots like "Lilo and Wick" and a bullet-dodging Donald Duck. Today’s guests on "Normal World" are Austin Robertson and Jeremy Ryan Slate.
