In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela open with Khloé Kardashian’s latest product, a probiotic lollipop marketed for women’s health that sparks confusion, disbelief, and plenty of commentary about modern wellness trends and celebrity marketing. The discussion turns to storytelling and the state of modern science fiction, contrasting the hopeful tone of authors like Ray Bradbury with today’s politically driven narratives. The hosts examine how creativity has shifted from imagination and adventure toward ideology and why audiences still crave classic escapism in entertainment. Things take a bizarre turn when they react to the real-life headline of lab monkeys escaping in Mississippi after a highway crash. The monkeys, reportedly carrying illnesses like hepatitis C, set off a wild chain of reactions as the crew jokes about government response, media fear tactics, and the absurdity of modern news. The episode wraps with a sharp breakdown of New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s socialist platform, AOC’s dramatic rally appearance, and a musical performance that ties together the week’s chaos with a laugh. Today’s guests on "Normal World" are Mike Imbasciani and Josh Jennings.
