In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela kick things off with the week’s strangest headline, as a Harvard astrophysicist warns that a massive object hurtling toward Earth could be an alien craft. They unpack Avi Loeb’s theory, discuss NASA’s pushback, and imagine the public’s reaction if it were true. The conversation shifts into Tesla Cybertruck safety concerns, pop culture references to "Wakanda Forever," and a look back at the unusual journey of Elian Gonzalez. From there, the panel moves into politics, reacting to Nancy Pelosi’s exchange over insider trading allegations and questioning how her net worth has grown over time. They examine Howard Stern’s changing image, his future at SiriusXM, and how cancel culture has influenced his career. The discussion then turns to celebrity transformations, with a look at extreme plastic surgery cases including Donatella Versace and Rodrigo Alves, the so-called “human Ken doll.” Later, they address the growing role of AI in media and respond to Jim Acosta’s controversial use of technology to “interview” Parkland shooting victim Joaquin Oliver, prompting a broader conversation on taste and ethics in journalism. Today’s guest on "Normal World" is Kris Fried.
