Deep States, Hawaii Dreams, and NFL Faceoffs

Gambling Mad with Norman Chad

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.
