In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau and Angela kick off with riffs on Britain’s cousin marriage debate before launching into the sketch “U.K. Cops,” a parody of speech policing and social media arrests. The panel then highlights a real case of a man in Britain sentenced to 20 months in prison over a Facebook post, with Judge Guy Kearl presiding. They question how courts cling to outdated traditions like powdered wigs while enforcing modern restrictions on speech. The conversation shifts as the group share stories of live comedy gone off the rails, from audience mishaps to unexpected fights, and reflect on the unpredictable energy of performing. From there, they riff on Halloween costumes, college pranks, and over-the-top characters before pivoting to pop culture, where Bad Bunny’s role in “Bullet Train” and his upcoming Super Bowl appearance take center stage. The show closes with a rapid-fire segment imagining children’s programming filtered through cultural politics, followed by a Half-Assed Top Ten inspired by Netflix’s “Dead End: Paranormal Park,” which pushes the satire farther with imagined kids’ shows shaped by social agendas. Today’s guests on "Normal World" are Genevieve Clinton and Austin Robertson.
