  <description><![CDATA[<p>Something strange is happening to the way we argue, marry, date, work, vote, and raise kids. Half of what we now call normal would've sounded insane ten years ago — so what happened?&nbsp; Club Normie takes on culture, politics, and the weirdness of modern life — minus the meltdown. Each episode picks one thing everyone's arguing about and actually thinks it through, giving every side its best case.&nbsp; From our new relationship with AI, to a generation who is priced out of stuff and believes "fairness" is the most powerful word — we follow the weirdness wherever it leads.&nbsp; Tired of being yelled at and would rather actually think? Pull up a chair. Sane company for insane times.</p>]]></description>
