Episode Synopsis
EPISODE 52 | The Mandela Effect & Memory (Because Reasons 6)
Nelson Mandela died in the early 80s, or he didn't. The comedian Sinbad was in a genie movie in the 90s, or he wasn't. Brand names keep getting changed, or not. Either our memories are not as reliable as we think they are, or someone is going around changing the very fabric of reality.
