Normal Men
George Pearkes
Normal Men is four guys talking about the news. We want to help explain what's happening in the world around us and have some laughs along the way. And we think you might enjoy hearing what we have to say, as long as you don't mind a bit of normalcy in a world without much of it.

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.

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.

Episode 2: Dunkirk For Treats
In this week’s episode of Normal Men, your very normal hosts are joined by an inspiring special guest before we talk about tariffs and bonds, because tariffs and bonds are going to continue to be big news for the foreseeable future (nobody is happy about this).
We also discuss updates in the Kilmar Ábrego García case and the effort to overturn an election to the North Carolina Supreme Court.

Episode 1: Our Beautiful Tariffs, Something’s Happening Out There, and Immigration Is Getting Scary
Welcome to the first episode of Normal Men. George and Propter introduce the podcast and what we’re trying to do here, and are joined by Lowtax Speedrun Enjoyer (not the Lowtax you’re thinking of) and GOLIKEHELLMACHINE to discuss tariffs, the Hands Off protests, and the case of Kilmar Ábrego García.
