The Mandela Effect

Research begins at 15:43

Did learning that it’s pronounced BerenstAIN Bears not BerenstEIN give you a mind melt? What about the spelling of Oscar Meyer? Are you still quoting Darth Vader wrong? And what happens when our memories don’t seem to match documented history? Are we transported to another universe? One thing's for certain, dear listeners, when you listen to this episode you’ll be transported to the bunker with Andy and Art and learn all about the psychology and mystery behind the Mandela Effect!

Andy and Art are captured once again by the titular Mr. Bunker - how did he fool them this time? They also discuss Pope names, where Mr. Bunker gets his materials, and park etiquette.

In the second segment, Andy and Art give you, the listeners, an uninterrupted presentation of their research into the Mandela Effect.

Finally, Andy and Art discuss the Mandela Effect at length. They also discuss how bad their memories are, cringe memories, the multiverse, memories in court cases, and so much more!
