Ep 296 | Cracker Barrel Responds!
Manage episode 502657367 series 3490831
In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau and Angela open by mentioning that 1/4 Black Garrett is away and wish him well. The show kicks off with riffs on the news cycle, from Snoop Dogg facing backlash over a family film and President Trump’s proposal to admit Chinese students to SpaceX delaying its Starship launch. The hosts also spotlight a bizarre viral post attributed to “Pope Black.” The panel then pivots to Cracker Barrel’s rebrand controversy, lampooning corporate attempts to modernize while discarding tradition. The discussion shifts to Trump’s executive order on flag-burning, with debate over free speech, Supreme Court precedent, and shifting political stances from figures like Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. A “Half-A**ed Top Ten” follows, mocking other supposed un-American activities, from shopping at Trader Joe’s to ordering lettuce-wrapped burgers. The episode closes with the End of the World segment, where the team reacts to NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s failed attempt to bench-press 135 pounds, questioning how one recovers his “man card” after a viral moment like that. Today’s guests on "Normal World" are Austin Robertson, Jeremy Ryan Slate, and Rob Eno.
