In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau and Angela are joined by Derek Richards, filling in for 1/4 Black Garrett. They break down a wild CIA report revealing a Cold War-era encounter where Soviet troops allegedly fired on a UFO — only to be turned to stone by a blinding alien explosion. The KGB file details five humanoids emerging from a downed saucer, merging into a sphere of light, and vaporizing 23 soldiers, leaving only two survivors in the shade. From there, the chaos snowballs: WNBA salaries, MS-13 welfare checks, and Coachella absurdity. Funeral mishaps, casket scams, Detroit gun salutes, and Scooby-Doo logic all make the cut. The crew explores why some women date killers, forgotten sitcom characters, and alien probing theories. It somehow keeps escalating — into purple drink nostalgia, freezer pops, alcoholic freezies, and party nights. Add in a few Beatles lyrics reinterpreted through a very different lens, and it somehow all fits.
