Today on "Normal World," Matt McClowry fills in for Dave Landau, joining 1/4 Black Garrett and Angela for a sharp, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt episode. The main focus is on guest Jimmy McCartney — a rising comedian who shares how performing for military bases became both his livelihood and calling. Jimmy details how Elon Musk’s government cost-cutting initiative DOGE has unintentionally crippled morale-boosting entertainment on bases, putting his career and troops’ mental health in jeopardy. Despite the fallout, Jimmy remains supportive of the effort to rein in government waste, even at his own expense. The crew also riffs on Elon’s villain arc, male enhancements, and Haley Joel Osment’s blackout arrest. Jimmy reflects on what it means to entertain troops across the U.S. during a time of massive budget tightening. It’s one of the most unexpectedly thoughtful episodes to date — and still totally unfiltered. This "Normal World" episode features Mike Wolters from the "TDC Podcast" and Amy, whom you can find on X at @MagaBarbie317.
