Norman Chad delivers a heartfelt eulogy to Southwest Airlines as we once knew it. The budget carrier that revolutionized air travel with free checked bags, drink coupons, and remarkably affordable fares has completed its transformation into just another airline charging premium prices.

The End of Kicking and Trump’s Golf Antics | Ep. 19 18:33

Ever wondered why kickers even exist in the NFL? Imagine a world where no kicker is safe, and punts and extra points become the ultimate strategic play! Join me, Norman Chad, as we humorously dissect the absurdity of the kicking game and dream of a kick-free NFL. We'll explore this wacky world where field goals from Mars aren't just science fiction, and consider the strategic depth limiting punts per half could bring to the gridiron. We’ll also take a nostalgic stroll through classic Yankees-Dodgers matchups, debate the odds of high-scoring games, and even sprinkle in some satirical commentary on Donald Trump's musings about golf legend Arnold Palmer.

Who really needs a teleprompter, and why is everyone so obsessed with them during election season? Get ready for some laughs as we poke fun at Kamala Harris and Donald Trump's supposed dependencies on these handy devices. Then, switch gears with us as we dive into the NBA's upcoming season with wild predictions, from the Detroit Pistons' potential resurrection to the fantastical team-up of LeBron and Bronny James.

Ever wondered if the "deep state" is more than just a figment of conspiracy theorists' imaginations? Let’s chuckle at the tangled web of politics and conspiracy theories as we also journey to the unique world of University of Hawaii football, a late-night gambling gem. Could Hawaii be the next big player in securing a major TV deal, or is it all just a pipe dream? And remember, Hawaii’s the 50th state, not the 49th—don’t let the iconic "Hawaii Five-0" theme song fool you! Meanwhile, the antics of sports fans have us shaking our heads and laughing out loud, including tales of a sheriff’s DUI and a man’s hilariously audacious courtroom arrival. On the NFL front, gear up for heated predictions and insights into the Cardinals vs. Packers and Texans vs. Patriots showdowns. With key figures like Kyler Murray in the spotlight and the Patriots' coaching shakeup sans Bill Belichick, it’s shaping up to be an intriguing week. We’ll also veer into consumer protection territory, dissecting Albertsons' recent fine for deceptive pricing and contemplating where such penalties end up. As we wrap up, it's time for some birthday cheer! Join in the lighthearted celebration of my Los Angeles adventures, a mix-up with my name, and Tony’s irresistible treats that sweeten the day. Throughout, we ponder whether our frustrations are self-inflicted or thanks to the world around us, all with a generous dose of humor.

Witness how political betting and daily fantasy sports intersect in a comedic journey filled with sharp critiques and unexpected twists. Imagine political contests that resemble allegiances in sports rather than serious debates on policy, and get ready as we humorously challenge Nate Silver's approach to election forecasting. John Oliver's take on daily fantasy sports doesn't escape our playful scrutiny either, as we highlight the quirks of the American landscape while cheekily poking fun at the British monarchy. My own betting prowess shines through a tale of triumph with a Kansas City Royals wager, paving the way for my NFL picks of the week—because who doesn't want to lose just a little bit less?

Why has baby naming become a battlefield for pretentiousness? Join me, Norman Chad, as I bemoan the loss of simple names like David and Mary, only to be replaced by Liam, Olivia, and Archer. We’ll take a nostalgic stroll down memory lane, reminisce about more straightforward times, and then pivot to a heated critique of a much larger issue—the politics of stadium funding. By comparing the antics of the Royals and the Chiefs in Kansas City, Missouri, and Kansas City, Kansas, I'll expose how taxpayer dollars are manipulated to fund extravagant sports arenas at the expense of the public.
