Ep 279 | Elmo Says Release the List!
Manage episode 494702248 series 3490831
In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela dive into the bizarre aftermath of the Elmo X (Twitter) hack, where everyone's favorite red puppet allegedly posted about world-ending conspiracies and demanded that secret files be released. The crew breaks down how the media handled it, imagines Elmo getting hired by the FBI, and questions why some posts triggered outrage while others barely got a shrug. They go deeper into the Epstein mystery — mocking the “client list” that never seems to arrive, joking about Ghislaine Maxwell's prison sentence, and reacting to Dan Bongino’s sudden shift in tone. Trump’s name comes up again, but as always, the real answers remain just out of reach. After discussing the new "Superman" reboot ignoring basic reality, the gang pivots to a viral story out of Seattle: a luxury yacht floating beside a homeless encampment. They mock the internet’s wildest defenses of it and unpack how our culture increasingly demands that people ignore what’s clearly in front of them. Today’s guest on "Normal World" is Tre Stewart.
