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 51 - C.R.E.A.M.: Chaos Ruins Ed’s Audio Machine ft. Aaron Cohen

    Aaron Cohen of Gracie's Ice Cream (@unlikelywords.bsky.social) has a wicked scoop for the Men. George doesn't deliver, Lowtax goes out of his gourd, Ed's interested in principles, and Propter gets stuck. Note: 1) We ran into tech issues post-recording and decided that we would rather release a pretty rough final cut this week than no episode. Sorry about that and we won't be offended if you give it a miss. 2) this is a Nanaimo bar
