Ep 269 | Mindhunter’s Real Lessons: Control, Fantasy & Hidden Evil | Guest: Yoshi Obayashi

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, Angela, and 1/4 Black Garrett (out today, returning next episode) are joined by guest host Derek Richards. Yoshi Obayashi returns with firsthand insight from the Diddy trial, a visit with Mindhunter inspiration Dr. Ann Burgess, and a deep dive into the origins of FBI criminal profiling. They cover serial killers like Ed Kemper, BTK, and John Wayne Gacy, explore how fantasy drives violence, and question why institutions often protect predators over victims. The group unpacks why high-profile trials are performative, how media and power structures hide abuse, and what happens when justice systems silence victims in the name of sensitivity. They connect stories from the courtroom to failures in youth sports, the porn industry, and cultural repression around sex.
