In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela react to the week’s strangest stories, including a little-known actor breaking Jim Carrey’s box-office record and the election of socialist Zohran Mamdani in New York City. The crew moves through viral headlines, quick news bits, and absurd cultural moments that feel stranger than parody. The discussion shifts to Halloween mishaps and international controversies over comics performing abroad, sparking debate about free speech, audience sensitivity, and the unpredictable line between politics and humor. Later, they dive into stories about Tom Brady cloning his dog, a UPS cargo plane crash, and the public’s reaction to Dick Cheney’s death. The show closes with odd headlines about New York housing policy and Paul McCartney’s unexpected message to a critic, wrapping a mix of satire, current events, and dark comedy into one unpredictable episode. Today’s guests on "Normal World" are Derek Richards and Yoshi Obayashi.
