YouTuber arrested for trying to contact forbidden island tribe — his 'peace offering' will crack you up



The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are a Union Territory of India located in the Bay of Bengal, roughly 750 miles southeast of mainland India. While several of the islands are tourist attractions, there is one island that is strictly prohibited from visiting.

North Sentinel Island is fiercely protected by the Indian government, as it is home to the Sentinelese tribe – an uncontacted, indigenous people who are extremely hostile to outsiders.

In the 1970s, a National Geographic filmmaker was injured by an arrow while attempting to make a documentary. In 2018, an evangelical Christian missionary, who traveled illegally to the island intending to convert the tribe to Christianity, was killed after being shot with many arrows.

Now, another attempt to reach the Sentinelese tribe has been made, this time by a YouTuber named Mykhailo Viktorovych Polyakov.

On March 31, Polyakov was arrested after illegally attempting to contact the Sentinelese people. According to reports, he landed on the restricted island and filmed his visit.

But if risking his neck for adventure or clicks (or both) wasn’t wild enough, the “offering” he left the Sentinelese people will truly shock you — and maybe even make you laugh.

Dave Landau of “Normal World” hilariously unpacks this bizarre adventure and the absurd "offering" left behind.

“He brought them a coconut and a can of Diet Coke as his offering,” Dave says, reading from reports.

He’s immediately reminded of the 1980 comedy “The Gods Must Be Crazy,” where a Coca-Cola bottle dropped from an airplane turns a Kalahari tribe on its head.

“So [Polyakov] pulled a ‘Gods Must Be Crazy’ and must have thought that somebody didn't know the reference,” laughs Dave. “I know what you're doing; you're not original.”

“Except in the movie, they don’t bring a coconut because they’re not stupid,” he quips.

Dave’s movie reference sparks a wild panel discussion on '80s movies, cartoon chaos, and 5G paranoia.

To hear it and see a picture of the fool who offered the Sentinelese tribe a can of Diet Coke and a coconut, watch the clip above.

Russell Brand CHARGED on five counts: Justice or a grifter’s retribution?



On April 4, British actor, podcaster, and media personality Russell Brand was charged by London's Metropolitan Police with one count of rape, one count of indecent assault, one count of oral rape, and two counts of sexual assault. These charges are connected to alleged incidents that took place between 1999 and 2005 and involved four different women.

His charges are not related to the four women featured in the Channel 4 “Dispatches” exposé “Russell Brand: In Plain Sight” that aired in September 2023, accusing Brand of sexual misconduct between 2006 and 2013. The documentary sparked investigations that remain ongoing, with the Crown Prosecution Service still reviewing evidence as of April 2025.

Dave Landau, ¼ Black Garrett, and Angela Boggs of “Normal World” are doubly suspicious. Are these charges brought against Brand really about justice for the alleged victims, or is this just retaliation for his outspokenness against the British government?

Second, is Brand’s conservative political activism and Christian conversion authentic, or is he just grifting?

“This, of course, has everything to do with justice for his alleged victims and nothing to do whatsoever with Brand's current public platform and political affiliations. No one in the U.K. would ever look the other way at a popular figure's sexual improprieties or anything of the such,” says Dave sarcastically, pointing to Jimmy Savile — “the Mr. Rogers of the U.K.” — whose heinous sexual crimes were overlooked or ignored due to his celebrity status and institutional protection.

In a video, Brand, responding to his charges, said:

“We’re very fortunate, I suppose, that this is happening at a time where we know that the law has become a kind of weapon to be used against people.”

“I’ve always told you guys that when I was young and single, before I had my wife and family, I was a fool, man. I was a fool before I lived in the light of the Lord. I was a drug addict, a sex addict, and an imbecile, but what I never was was a rapist. I’ve never engaged in nonconsensual activity. I pray that you can see that by looking in my eyes.”

Dave and the panel don’t buy into Brand’s faith. After all, he promoted a $240 amulet that supposedly protects against Wi-Fi signals and wards off other evil energies.

“You said you switched to Christianity, which is great ... but at the same time, he's a huge influencer, and then he starts selling amulets, and you're like, ‘Wait a second, where are you going with this?"’ says Garrett.

“I did do a show with him earlier last year. He was on the RFK [Jr.] show,” and “he stayed away from me, Rob Schneider, Jeff Dye,” says Dave. “He had a Christ complex about him, and I didn't like him.”

Angela thinks that the timing of Brand’s conversion is suspicious.

“He took this turn right at a time when people were starting to accuse him of things, and it seemed like he was coming to a side that would maybe be more forgiving towards him about this kind of stuff. ... He's just an opportunist,” she says.

Despite their collective dislike and distrust of Brand, Garrett says he will “separate [his] dislike of [Brand’s] griftiness and if he's guilty or not.”

“If he's innocent, I hope he's exonerated ... and if he’s guilty, throw him in jail,” he says.

Mark Zuckerberg continues pandering to the right, removes tampons from men's bathrooms at Meta offices



From all angles, it seems Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has left Team Democrat for Team MAGA. Last week, he announced a list of important policy changes Meta would adopt, including ditching its biased fact-checkers in favor of a community notes system like X, lifting censorship filters on subjects like gender and immigration, and bringing back civic content.

On top of that, UFC president and CEO (and longtime friend of Donald Trump) Dana White joined Meta’s board.

The parent company of Instagram, Facebook, and Threads also announced that it would be terminating its DEI hiring practices, as the acronym has “become charged” and is “understood by some as a practice that suggests preferential treatment of some groups over others.”

Now Meta has taken its conservative makeover to new heights with a recent directive ordering all tampons and sanitary pads to be removed from men's bathrooms.

Dave Landau and the “Normal World” crew discuss the 180-degree transformation of a company that was the epitome of woke before the election.

¼ Black Garrett can’t help but roll his eyes at the obvious political pandering of Mark Zuckerberg. He points to the CEO’s recent comment that an election is a great time to “get the pulse of the people” as evidence that Meta’s transformation is motivated solely by staying in the good graces of whoever is in power.

“He’s literally just going, ‘Hey, what do you guys like? I’m gonna do that.’ ... He has no personal principles,” he tells Dave and Angela Boggs.

While Meta is getting a lot of attention for the changes it’s adopting, it’s no trailblazer.

Dave lists a series of other companies that are essentially doing the same thing by nixing their DEI programs: Amazon, McDonald’s, American Airlines, Boeing, Jack Daniels, CAT, Tractor Supply, Harley, John Deere, Lowe’s, Nissan, Toyota, and Walmart.

“You've designed a plane so the doors are ripping off, wheels won't come out when they land, and [Boeing] is like, ‘Look, at least we're not racist,”’ Dave laughs.

To hear more of the team’s commentary, including their hilarious personal stories about interacting with DEI hires at various companies, watch the episode above.

Viewer discretion advised: Footage captures UnitedHealthcare CEO fatally shot in suspected targeted attack



On Tuesday, December 4, at approximately 6:45 a.m., United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was fatally shot outside the Hilton Midtown hotel in New York City in what authorities suspect is a targeted attack.

From the assassin-like shooter to the reason that brought Thompson to New York, the circumstances surrounding his death are eerie, to say the least.

Dave Landau and the “Normal World” cast, along with guest Derek Richards, discuss the harrowing details of the murder.

“Police have released images of the suspect, who is described as a skinny man, standing about 6’1” and wearing all black,” Dave reads from a report. Currently, the shooter is still on the loose.

While the suspect himself looks like an average man, the weapon he used to shoot Thompson was certainly not average.

“He had a silencer” on the gun he used and an attachment that “[caught] the shells,” says Dave, who plays the actual footage of the shooting (viewer discretion advised).

Viewers can see Thompson walking to the Hilton, when the shooter walks calmly into the video frame from what appears to be the street, where police say he was likely lying in wait. He aims his weapon and shoots Thompson with precision multiple times before darting back across the street and disappearing.

The gunshots are “so quiet, [bystanders] don’t even know. Cars keep going,” says Dave.

Garrett agrees, “That is professional.”

“To do it literally right there in Manhattan is insane,” adds Richards, who also assumes that this was no random act of passion by an angry person who was denied coverage, as Thompson was hit with "Hilary Clinton precision.”

If the crew is right in the prediction that this was indeed a targeted attack, then the next question is obviously why?

This is where the story gets even juicier.

According to reports, Thompson was in New York to attend “an investors' conference that UnitedHealth Group, the parent company of UnitedHealthcare, was scheduled to host on Wednesday at the Hilton.”

“What was he going to disclose at the shareholders' meeting?” asks Dave.

Further, “Brian Thompson was facing a Department of Justice probe for insider trading,” says Angela.

“He was obviously trading and dealing with somebody, and they didn’t want that getting out,” Dave theorizes.

Garrett agrees, adding, “It couldn’t just be somebody got pissed and pulled a gun, because that would be sloppy,” but “this was so professional, so it’s gotta come from somebody that’s higher-level.”

To hear more details of the story and see the footage of the shooting, watch the episode above.

Liberal women have a plan to get revenge on Trump, and we 100% support them



To be expected, the feminists are not excited about Trump’s return to the White House. So they’ve devised a plan to exact their revenge: They’re going to adopt draconian celibacy while he’s in office.

Many of them are taking the sex strike a step further by intentionally making themselves look unattractive by shaving their heads.

So liberal women self-punishing and vowing to not procreate? Now that’s what the “Normal World” cast calls “SUCCESS!”


Dave Landau plays a montage of different videos that have gone viral on social media of women joining the “4B” movement. On camera, they shave their heads and pledge to avoid men altogether as retribution for Kamala Harris not winning the presidency and enshrining abortion in the Constitution.

To be fair, however, these women didn’t invent the 4B movement. In fact, the movement started roughly a decade ago in South Korea when a group of feminists devised a plan to fight the patriarchy by living by a set of 4 “no’s” — no sex with men, no procreation, no marriage, and no dating men. However, the movement was part of the backlash of the “spycam” epidemic, in which many South Korean women were secretly being filmed during sex. Violence against women is also remarkably high in the country.

American women apparently thought Trump’s victory was equivalent to the plight of South Korean women, so they brought the 4B movement here. In some ways, they’re taking the already extreme lifestyle to even greater heights with some women encouraging others to divorce their husbands.

However, the majority of them are just vowing to be unattractive and celibate because if they get pregnant, then they will be unable to get an abortion due Trump’s nationwide abortion ban.

Except that’s not happening and abortion access will remain the exact same it’s been since the overturning of Roe v. Wade pushed the issue back to the states.

“You can go to one of the 48 states that still allows abortion,” laughs Dave, pointing out the idiocy of the movement.

This montage of post-election liberal meltdowns will have you HOWLING



Donald Trump won fair and square. Despite the Trump is Hitler narrative, the weaponization of the justice department against him, and two assassination attempts, America said, "We want more Trump."

To be expected, the left is having a meltdown of cataclysmic proportions.

Dave Landau and the “Normal World” cast play some of the most epic lefty reactions to Trump’s big win. Enjoy.

- YouTubeyoutu.be

Although the cast plays several clips, these are perhaps the most hilarious.

In clip one, a young woman sitting in her car screams, “No! No! Noooooo! Why? Why Why?! ... Do you really hate me that bad?!” as she thrashes around violently.

In clip 2, a distraught and effeminate man laments, “You voted against me. You voted against my right to live. You voted against all the women and their rights. I hope you enjoy your cheap f****** gas.”

In clip 3, pop icon Cardi B listens to a TV commentator on election night announcing that Trump is nearing victory. She literally clutches her face in apparent agony. The caption over the video reads, “I hate yall bad.”

One clip features a woman just sobbing uncontrollably while her dog licks her face. A woeful Billie Eilish ballad plays in the background.

Another features a furious young man screaming, “I’m done! I’m done! I’m done! I’m done with you! I’m not with you, your mother, and your sister! I’m just done with all of this!”

In another clip, someone videos their mom rocking back and forth sobbing while watching election coverage. The caption reads, “My mom is freaking outtt. Kamala plsssss do ur thing.” Her mom then picks up a glass of wine and proceeds to chug it.

These are just a few of the most unhinged responses. To see more tearful, screaming, nonsensical reactions to Trump’s victory, watch the episode above.

Nickelodeon’s ‘Kids Pick the President’ results are in! Guess which candidate they chose?



Since 1988, Nickelodeon has been airing a special called “Kids Pick the President,” which features a mock election designed to engage the youth in the political process and determine the kids’ choice for president.

With the exception of 2004 and 2016, the children involved in the special have accurately predicted the presidential victors.

Well, this year’s results are in!

Dave Landau and the “Normal World” team discuss the kids’ verdict.


According to actual polling, “there’s no way [Trump] is not going to win,” says Dave.

Sadly, the kids disagree.

According to this year’s Nickelodeon election special, Harris received 52% of the vote while Trump received 48%. Let's hope the youngsters are as wrong about Trump this year as they were in 2016.

"It was still close,” says optimistic Angela Boggs.

“You know that somebody rigged it,” adds Dave skeptically.

INSANE: Celeb bodyguard claims Diddy POISONED Jamie Foxx — could it be true?



In the summer of 2023, actor and musician Jamie Foxx came down with a mysterious illness that very nearly killed him.

In July, after it was determined that he had narrowly escaped death, a pale, sickly-looking Foxx released a tearful video letting the public know that he was okay but traumatized.

“I’ve been to hell and back,” he said, before thanking his family, medical team, and God.

Foxx never would say what it was that nearly took his life, leaving many speculating that his illness was due to taking the COVID vaccine, which could not be questioned or criticized at the time due to the collusion between the federal government, Big Pharma, and Big Tech. The approved narrative was that Foxx had a stroke.

However, a new story has since emerged. In the wake of Sean "Diddy" Combs' arrest, a celebrity bodyguard who goes by the name of Big Homie.CC has reported that Foxx’s near-death experience was due to Diddy poisoning him. Apparently, Foxx then reported him to the FBI.

¼ Black Garrett, Angela Boggs, and Derek Richards, filling in for Dave Landau, bring equal parts humor and analysis to the disturbing news.

"‘In a shocking interview with Cam Capone News, celebrity bodyguard Big Homie, which by the way is the name on his driver's license in case you're curious, "made bold accusations against music mogul Diddy, alleging that Diddy poisoned actor Jamie Foxx,’” says Richards, reading from a report.

In a YouTube video that dropped last week, Big Homie stated the following: “Well, I know [Diddy] poisoned Jamie Foxx, and Jamie Foxx reported him to the FBI because of it. I know that’s a fact.”

When questioned whether Foxx’s mysterious illness was due to this alleged poisoning, Big Homie confirmed yes – Foxx’s 20-day stint in the hospital and three-month hiatus from the public eye was indeed a result of being poisoned by Combs.

Angela then points to “Brittany Murphy and [Diddy’s] ex-wife,” Kim Porter, and several others who “have died of pneumonia who were involved with [Diddy].”

“Actually one of the causes of pneumonia is breathing in baby oil,” she says.

When Diddy’s home was raided by the FBI, 1,000 bottles of baby oil were found. Could it be that they were also poisoned by Diddy in a different way?

“All my freak parties have coconut oil – organic from Whole Foods,” Richards jokes.

WATCH: Joe Exotic calls in from prison to share his thoughts on the 2024 election: ‘There’s not an inmate in here shooting for Harris'



The year 2020, for all the disaster and chaos it ushered in, did give us at least one good thing: “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness” — the Netflix sensation that enthralled Americans with its eccentric cast and big cat drama. The show garnered nearly 35 million views in the first 10 days after its release, but after the star of the show — Joe Exotic — went to jail for his murder-for-hire scheme, the nation largely moved on from Joseph Maldonado.

However, in 2023, Exotic somewhat re-emerged in public discourse when he announced his intentions to run for president in 2024. Although his campaign fizzled out earlier this year, he is still watching the race closely.

On the last episode of “Normal World,” Dave Landau and 1/4 Black Garrett received a phone call from none other than the Tiger King himself.

Joe Exotic Calls in to Talk Kamala Harris & Prison Reform | Ep 157youtu.be

“Were you hoping for a VP spot?” Dave asked Joe.

“I’m hoping for a cabinet position,” Exotic responded, adding that he hopes to become the “director of Fish and Wildlife.”

“Who is your favorite candidate right now, other than yourself?” Dave asked next.

“We have to get Trump in there because Harris is gonna get us killed. Her and Biden’s been in there for almost four years. ... A couple hundred military bases worldwide have been been attacked of ours and we ain't done s**t about it. We're in the middle of Ukraine; we're in the middle of Israel bulls**t. Russia, China, and Iran and ISIS and them will steamroll her. There's no way they're going to take her serious,” Exotic railed.

“Do you think it's odd that Biden just all of a sudden stepped down and out of nowhere we're being forced to kind of believe that [Kamala Harris] was always the person for the job?” asked Dave, pointing out the buzz about Kamala being a DEI hire.

“I don't think that she was always the person to run. I think [Biden] really wanted to do it himself. I think old age caught up with him a little faster than he thought it would, and I think the only reason that she is even picked to even run as the nominee is because she is black and she is a woman.”

“Look, above all else, it don't matter if you're shooting for the economy to straighten up, world peace, or whatever — all they care about is that a black woman becomes president,” Exotic explained, adding that, “in [prison], Trump has every black vote.”

“There’s not an inmate in here shooting for Harris or Biden. She spent half of her life putting black people in prison that couldn’t afford to fight the fight,” he continued, noting that Harris and Biden’s promises of “prison reform” came to naught.

“With the inmates in there, is that their biggest issue — drug reform? Or do they want prison reform more than anything?” was Dave’s follow up question.

“We live like river rats, man — the mold, the broken down facilities, the electrical problems. We have 300 [people] and 6, 7, 8 toilets ... The food is pathetic, the medical care is pathetic,” said Exotic, adding that “there’s more drugs in here than the whole city of Wynnewood, Oklahoma.”

“When I get out of here, my goal is to testify in front of Congress about what goes on in here,” he told Dave.

As for his Trump endorsement, Exotic claimed that “the best thing [he’s] ever heard come out of Trump's mouth in a long time is if he becomes president he's going to shut down the camps and the halfway houses and send everybody home because if you can qualify to go to a camp, go home and work and support your family. Quit making the taxpayers pay this bill.”

HILARIOUS: A comedian’s take on Trump vs. Biden debate



We’ve seen a lot of reactions to last night’s presidential debate between President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump — everything from anger to fear to complete and utter jaw-on-the-floor shock.

One reaction we did not expect to see, however, is humor.

But Dave Landau, Blaze Media’s in-house comedian and host of “Normal World,” couldn’t help but laugh throughout the entire debate. Here is his reaction to the first presidential debate of 2024 in joke format:

Dave Landau ROASTS The First Presidential Debateyoutu.be

“We did learn that [Biden’s] golf handicap is a six, even though I'm pretty sure it's dementia.”

“Also what he has in common with golf is that we've stopped counting strokes.”

“Biden also said that ‘his son was in Iraq’; well, I think he meant to say ‘was on crack.’”

“Dana Bash looks like Sarah Jessica Parker doing an impression of a pony; and Jake Tapper looks like Jamie Lee Curtis doing an impression of Fred Armisen.”

“People are wondering what drug cocktail Biden might have been on, so I'm going to guess whatever it was, it was mixed by Cosby and Justin Timberlake.”

“There's no way this wasn't set up to get him out. It was like watching Tommy at the end of ‘Goodfellas.”’

“Trump did amazing; he was very poised. every time he said ‘mandate,’ Lindsey Graham thought his dating app was going off.”

“Biden was slurring so much, I honestly thought the stage was going to get pulled over.”

“I don't know what Joe Biden was looking at, but he just looked like a fat guy that was at the Golden Corral and he was told the chocolate fountain was out of order.”

That’s just some of Dave’s hysterical commentary, though. To hear the entire take, watch the clip above.
