In this episode of “Normal World,” Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela open with headlines about Kevin Federline worrying over Britney Spears before moving through a fast mix of pop culture, news, and sharp comedy. They trade stories from their early days in Chicago comedy, reflecting on clubs like Zanies and Appleton, wild audiences, and how Midwest weather fuels bad moods and great jokes. The team break down Portland’s naked bike ride and the odd logic of modern protest, then jumps into Utah’s culture of repression and religion. The tone turns darker when they react to Danny Masterson’s prison transfer, with Robert offering real insight from his time as a jail guard, sharing absurd and disturbing moments from behind bars. They explore the case of an Arkansas father who killed his daughter’s attacker and is now running for sheriff, debating justice and moral boundaries. The conversation deepens as Robert recounts a violent tragedy near his mother’s Chicago home, before lifting the mood with a tribute to movie-poster icon Drew Struzan and a skeptical look at the new Bruce Springsteen biopic. The show closes with a nod to the legends of comedy, from Eddie Murphy and Bernie Mac to Rudy Ray Moore, and how their storytelling still shapes stand-up today. Today’s guest on “Normal World” is Robert Hines.
