In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela open with reflections on the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk. They consider how far America has fallen since the unity of September 11, 2001, examining the rise of political violence, the failures of leadership, and the cultural fractures pulling the country apart. The conversation then shifts to lighter ground with stories of rodeo life, bull riding, and the resilience that comes from growing up in demanding environments. The hosts trade experiences of childhood, stories of country living, and encounters with Australia’s unpredictable wildlife, from snakes and spiders to kangaroos. Later, the discussion turns reflective, weighing the pressures of America’s nonstop hustle culture against the slower pace found abroad. The group explores family, parenting, and the importance of stepping back to value life beyond work. The show closes with a live studio performance of the new single “Ow in Cowboy,” performed by Shea Fisher. Today’s guests on "Normal World" are Derek Richards and Shea Fisher.
