In this episode, George joins the gang from Greece to talk about normal — and abnormal — men.

Episode 4: Our Slutty Little Shorts

This week’s show is a bit on the lighter side. It’s spring time so we’re skies out thighs out before the boys do a round-up of the cabinet clownshows and calamities that are already defining the second Trump Administration. It’s also time for some Truck Talk given the new EV pickup company that emerged from stealth last week.
Then, finally, the most normal story of the week: Shadeur Sanders.

Episode 3: Murk The Yanks

A very normal Canadian election calls for some very Normal Men to talk about it. We also catch up on all the horrible effects of DOGE (which do not include lower government spending).
Also: another update on Kilmar Ábrego García.
