Cats on hind legs. Ducks strolling through a school. AI, Norm MacDonald. How does all of this tie together? What’s the glue that leads to these conversations?
In this episode of At the Mic Friday Happy Hour with Keith Malinak, he is joined by fan favorite Brad Staggs and Keith’s producer Wes Castelhano (aka “Hero Wes”), as the conversation opens on questions of recognition and the growing presence of AI in everyday problem-solving. From there, it drifts through humor, coincidence, and the strange order found in things as ordinary as ducks, basketball, and human routine, before settling into reflection on memory, influence, and the enduring comedic imprint of Norm MacDonald.
