Ep 243 | Russell Brand, Christianity, and the Art of the Grift

Tonight on Normal World, Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela dive into Russell Brand’s charges, comparing them to the Jimmy Savile scandal, and question the timing of Brand’s spiritual pivot and grifty recovery products. Bridget Phetasy’s viral critique fuels a larger conversation on addiction, accountability, and the right’s vulnerability to charismatic influencers. From Porky’s and strip club buffets to OnlyFans economics, the team blends cultural commentary with absurd tangents. A horror movie pitch (Whack Shack), amulet skepticism, and a YouTuber’s misguided visit to a reclusive tribe keep the chaos rolling. They wrap with Russell Brand reboot pitches, James Lipton trivia, and the unintended symbolism of diet soda diplomacy.
