Speaker 2:You never know who's driving, or?
Speaker 1:where we're headed. All we know is it's always a fun ride and on this week's episode we are gonna be discussing the Mandela effect. You just recently learned about this.
Speaker 2:I had heard about it, but I never paid attention to it and I'm glad I didn't, because it makes my head hurt. I know you were just googling some.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we're gonna like oh my gosh, this blows my mind.
Speaker 2:The next podcast is gonna be the Mandela effect on Steven's brain.
Speaker 1:You're gonna be. It can make you a little loopy, it's weird place with your.
Speaker 2:You know I've had to prove a few things to myself.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you were like let me, let me double-check that. I don't know. I don't know. Okay, we were recently traveling to the achieve conference and while we were there, at some point you brought up something that we have to dive into a little bit.
Speaker 2:Oh, Lord, what did I bring up?
Speaker 1:because I I don't you're gonna have to explain this to me, but we were eating somewhere. I can't remember even where. Maybe it was in Waco, in the food hall, I don't know but you brought to my attention that it really irritates you when you see someone eating with Chopsticks. That is, that's not their normal culture.
Speaker 2:Okay, you shouldn't have brought this up because at face value I sound like a bigot, and I'm not.
Speaker 1:I.
Speaker 2:Said if you're, you know from Japan, if you're from China where your normal, normal culture. That's your thing, that's, that's your fork. I get it, do it. You know, get it, do it right. Yeah but it really irritates me when I go to like a Chinese restaurant and there's like a white woman over there.
Speaker 2:You know, white Betty. She's over there eating with her chopsticks, just so smart and perfectly, and I'm just in like there you are showing off, you're just a show off. She was this listen, because I can't use the damn chops. I cannot if I'm gonna eat with them. I got a stab it and eat it that way. I Cannot.
Speaker 1:I'm not coordinated enough and maybe I'm just jealous right, maybe that's what I was gonna dive into the background of this, are you? Jealous that you can't fumble with those little chopsticks and pick up a noodle.
Speaker 2:It irritates me, like I mean, if I'm eating and maybe it's just because I love food I'm like I want that food in my mouth. You don't want to be. I don't want to pick up a morsel with a stick.
Speaker 1:But yeah that. But if you're good, you can pick up whole things like clumps of rice and everything.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like Betty at the where we were eating was over there with her chopsticks and I was just like we were at that food hall in Waco, that's where we were.
Speaker 2:Betty was over there and her husband and her son. They were eating with the fork Mm-hmm. You know, like I do, right, my Chinese food Mm-hmm. And Betty she had, she had her chopsticks over there and she was just Martly eating her food with her chopsticks off premium and proper and perfectly. And you know this is true. You know, in first grade, betty was the one sitting on the front row in class and the teacher asked a question and she said I know, I know, with her hand in the air, you know that that is the same Personality, or she's, or she's a sociopath, I don't know.
Speaker 1:If you're cultured and you want to eat like that, what is the problem? Like what is? I'm sure a lot of our listeners are Able to eat with chopsticks. I think it comes down to that. You are just a little Jealous that you can't fumble with those and that is a.
Speaker 2:I've never thought about it like that, but it is a great Possibility like I didn't realize that it comes off as a showoff, showoff. You're showing off. Yeah, it was like people that ride a unicycle. I've always wanted to ride a unicycle. I do good to ride a bicycle right, and I should probably have trading wheels on the bicycle.
Speaker 1:I hope. I hope my mom's listening, because there was a funny unicycle story back in the day.
Speaker 2:Oh my god.
Speaker 1:I hear the word unicycle, I think of my mom.
Speaker 2:It was. Your mom and I were in. We, all of us, were in we weren't there, you and her. I see Dolly Parton.
Speaker 1:Yeah, at a concert or something.
Speaker 2:Yes, and I went to the HOA meeting with her in the mountains right.
Speaker 2:So your mom said, oh, there's this amazing Flea market there in severeville. And she said, let's go to the flea market. And I'm like hell yeah, let's go to the flea market. You know, I love right market. So we go and we're, we've done our shopping and we're pulling out and there is a girl goes by us. We're in the car right and she is on a unicycle. Okay, now this girl's name. I picture her name as Tammy, mm-hmm. From severeville, tennessee, tennessee in the mountains her cutoffs like really short.
Speaker 2:I mean really short cutoff. She's on this unicycle and it it is about as smooth as the Grand Canyon, where she's. I mean, it's rutted like gravel, gravel, rutted Red clay with ruts in it, I mean.
Speaker 1:I could hardly walk across it.
Speaker 2:It was a flea market that is not well maintained like that.
Speaker 2:Uh-huh, I mean, I could hardly walk across it seriously. And Tammy is on her Unicycle and yes, if these are your names, it's okay to call and harass me, but it's just what the names I give people in my head. Yeah, I, and bless her heart, it would have looked like it's picture me on a unicycle. She would go almost Completely down in the back. I mean like her back would almost be parallel with the ground and there she'd come back up and then she would hit a rut and stop and she would go forward and she would go to the side. I mean, she went, she was like a weebawopple.
Speaker 2:She went every way but down. Me and your mom sat there for what seemed like two hours, but it was probably ten minutes, and we were laughing so hard. I mean, it was like a cartoon.
Speaker 1:Because y'all were just sitting in the car watching her almost go down.
Speaker 2:We were like.
Speaker 1:Oh, she carrying something.
Speaker 2:She had something in her hands and we were like, oh, here goes, here goes, here goes. She'd pop back up and we was like we go Because you know, in our minds you know I won't be super honest on here when you see people on a unicycle, you want to see them bust their ass. You know you do, just like when Betty was eating with her chopsticks you, even you you want them to drop or see it just sling across the room because it just pitch them too far.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know it is normal to Think, because in in your mind, in my mind, I cannot imagine being on a unit, being on a unicycle, one wheel, mmm-hmm. But and you know you're like, oh, she's gonna bust it, cuz you know I would bust my ass. In my mind. I'm like she's gonna, she's gonna take out this ditch. Oh my gosh, she net. She needs to be in a carnival somewhere that is hysterical.
Speaker 1:So from that story I can never hear the word unicycle and not think of my mom and you watching that, cuz I can just picture y'all. We were laughing and narrating it in the whole nine yards it was his stare.
Speaker 2:I wish we had videoed it, yeah, but I don't think back then. I don't even know if there was. Oh, I'm sure there was y'all, just it would got caught up in the moment. Yeah, you get caught. That would go viral now.
Speaker 1:That is too funny. Well, okay, so we're gonna have to keep a look in a watch on your Chopstick thing. That just irritates you. Well, you know there's words that irritate me. We've talked about that before. Just certain words irritate me, so I can accept that it irritates you, but I just feel like there's something Underlying behind the chopsticks that we need to. I think it's. There's more to the story that we need to dive into.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean, I'll be honest. When I was a kid I tried to eat with the damn things, Mm-hmm, but it was more like stabbing yeah it's one of those things I don't eat.
Speaker 1:With chopsticks you probably wouldn't be my friend. At the end he's like Mm-hmm. No, I can see. If I walked in and we were eating somewhere and I picked up the chopsticks and started eating With them, you would say put those damn things down, eat with a fork. With a fork, what are?
Speaker 2:you doing and I'm not doing. I promise you. I promise you guys, I am, I love everybody, I love. It's nothing to do with being a bigot or anything, even though it sounds like it.
Speaker 1:No, but if it was an Asian person, who it's their natural Culture?
Speaker 2:then I think anything about it, I look at it and think damn how do? They do that and then I also let think with those people how did you do that when you were two, three years old? Right, because I mean I can barely use a fork, I know, I mean I barely.
Speaker 1:I mean I gave my mother the same way we learned with the fort. I mean you learn the same way hard, complicated.
Speaker 2:But you know, asian people aren't Large people like Americans. They work. They have to work for everybody. We just shovel it in and they're. They're fighting for a grain of rice.
Speaker 1:Okay, well, speaking of shoveling it in, this is a good question, because I feel like this kind of tells something about you. So I feel attacked no, not you personally in general. Okay, so when you buy silverware for your home, mm-hmm, it normally comes with large spoons, small spoons, large forks, small forks. Which one do you? Naturally?
Speaker 2:grab big fork, and I like the big spoons for soup.
Speaker 1:I know I always grab the small ones. I will never grab the large ones, unless for some reason, we don't have any clean. I only grab the small fork, small sping.
Speaker 2:I grew up with and this is something We've never talked about, you and I I grew up with teaspoons, the long teaspoons. Mm-hmm for sweet tea. Mm-hmm but I use them for lots of things. Yeah so I I've always kept a whole section of Teaspoons.
Speaker 1:I have never seen this collection or section. It's up, it's like a long spoon. Yeah, mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:They're long there. It's like for sweet tea. That's what they are, their teaspoons, but um literal tea.
Speaker 1:Smooth it's not measuring like I like, if I get a milkshake.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna eat that milkshake with that teaspoon, because it was.
Speaker 1:See, then you don't get your handle sticky. We've talked about that on the podcast before, which is all so funny. We didn't discuss this. But so, if you missed this episode, stephen and I both have a thing like if something gets sticky, especially like our spoon or fork, like if it, if you're eating and carrying your plate or something in the spoon handle, slides down into your Soup, noosepin, noosepin.
Speaker 1:Not even wiping it off is not gonna do that it may create sticky, which is right or if you're eating ice cream or a pie, and if any food gets on my handle of my silverware, I'm getting new, even at home. So what was funny is when we were in Waco at the Achieve conference, we went to I have dessert with Ashley and everything, and your Dessert came out. What did you get? You got a pie, yes, and when the server was putting it down, the spoon handle slid.
Speaker 1:Like excuse me, can I get a new spoon? This one got Sticky on the handle and I just giggled to myself because we've talked about that, like you literally were like, can I? So the same thing Happened to me, but I had to because my dessert was a huge, like it was brownie ice cream. So they put two spoons on it. Well, the one facing me slid down in there and got a little sticky, but the other one was normal. So at the exact same time that you were asking for that, I was like I can't ask for a new spoon. So I turned mine around and I was like Ashley, you want some dessert, but I've heard the sticky.
Speaker 2:Ashley, if you're listening, I'm sorry for his rudeness.
Speaker 1:Because I would never pick up that spoon and eat with them after that and I will. It does not work if you pick it up and Wipe it off with a paper towel either and then if you try to lick it or something, it's just a messy, sticky Ruins, the whole experience and yeah, I mean, I just want I was that way and it can be soup.
Speaker 1:Right, it can be anything Gravy, anything that is gonna make yours and I hate my hands sticky. Yeah, but I just thought it was funny because I was having that same thought at the exact same time and I was like I'm just gonna get the other spoon, so I'll just spin this around For our listeners out there make me feel better.
Speaker 2:Do any of you hate seeing people eat with chopsticks? Do you have a?
Speaker 1:jealousy. Let us know if there's something like that. Okay, first of all, give us your opinion on the chopsticks situation specifically, but then also let us know is there something that maybe Irrationally irritates you? Along those lines, you can text our hotline it's 864 982 5029 or call and leave us a voicemail.
Speaker 2:We might call you back and the funny thing about that is, you know, it might make sense if I didn't love Asian food, but I love, love, chinese and Japanese, right of it. Mmm, okay, and so it's not about that. I don't eat the food. I mean they could be eating, matt, you know, macaroni and cheese, but don't put no, jim chopstick. I mean it just, I'm just like it's so much easier to use fork.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but, betty, and it was just that woman sitting over there. She was just so perfectly sitting in her chair and you could tell she just had no, all the etiquette. You know, she taught like that. You know, it's true.
Speaker 1:I love that you've made up this whole situation.
Speaker 2:I mean, I just looked at her and I was like oh, she, you know, and there her husband and her son are, they're eating with the fork and she's like I'm gonna use chopsticks, uh-huh.
Speaker 1:Why did you have to do that? Yeah, you just. You've made up this whole scenario and you think you know this it is no at all person. Also, our hotline number is down in the show notes as well, so if you just click the description you can see it there. If you didn't catch it, but it's 864 9825 0 to you keep telling this stuff on.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna be like the most hated person in the no.
Speaker 1:I just thought it was funny because you told me that, mm-hmm, I'll tell you things. The problem is, you just don't remember them. That is so True. No, as soon as you said it, I was like locking this away in my little brain, because we have to discuss this chop just showoffs.
Speaker 2:I don't like showoffs period.
Speaker 1:Showoff. That is too funny. All right, let's talk about. Do you have anything else you want to discuss with me today, right?
Speaker 2:at the moment. Okay, let's try to attack you for something like her fit.
Speaker 1:Let's get into the Mandela effect, because this just it's Mandela. What did I just say? Mandela, mandela, yes, is it.
Speaker 2:I mean, I'm asking yes, it's Mandela. Mandela, after Mandela, nelson Mandela.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So if you don't know what the Mandela effect is, it is. Well, it started and it's called the Mandela effect because there's a large group of people who Remember, or think they remember, nelson Mandela dying in like the 80.
Speaker 1:Uh-huh in prison or something, but he in fact did not. He went on to become president of where would that be? Africa, south Africa, somewhere, somewhere around there, I don't know the whole thing there and died in like 2013 13 I'm looking at it. Okay, so that's Became the Mandela effect, and what it is is when a large group of the population remembers things one way or you know it'll make you go.
Speaker 1:No, that's what I always thought, but really in reality it was a different way. Now, if you really want to dive into this, there's all of these like Conspiracy theories that get too weird for me. So we're not touching on that side, we're just touching on the reality side. But there's all these conspiracy theories that there's like Parallel universes and things get mixed up.
Speaker 2:Oh hell, we can't go down that road.
Speaker 1:I will know, or like. I think there's something with a laser that and it reset certain things. I don't know. We're just telling you my brain can't handle that I know right, so, but it's very Interesting and the largest one to me that I remember, and I remember this and you can't convince me otherwise, but it has to do and this is the first time I discovered the Mandela effect has to do with Ed McMahon and Publishing clearing house publishers clear publish publishers clearing house.
Speaker 1:Is it publishers or publishing publishers? Are you sure about that? It's published publishers clearing house. Do you remember because I remember Ed McMahon would show up with the balloons in the really large check and that was a thing.
Speaker 2:For was it somebody that just looked like Ed McMahon?
Speaker 1:I don't know. That's what I remember, but evidently that never, ever happened in Ed McMahon never worked for publishers Clearinghouse.
Speaker 2:But he was the. I mean in my mind he was the face. So I mean I don't even know if I believed that he wasn't. And people say I'm waiting for Ed McMahon to show up at my house.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:I mean, how many times have you heard that?
Speaker 1:over the years, just waiting on Ed McMahon to show up with my trash.
Speaker 2:I mean, I'm still waiting on Ed McMahon, right.
Speaker 1:Isn't that crazy, though, like evidently that never happened and I want to go back to like 19,. I don't know when that was popular 89, 1990 something and see the commercials Like I just remember commercials on TV, I wonder who it was. Right. It had to be somebody that just looked like him or something, I don't know.
Speaker 2:But why would you choose somebody that looks like him? It went like Ed McMahon with some hottie. I mean, I'm just saying Like why would? You pick.
Speaker 1:Well, maybe he was distinguished looking or something.
Speaker 2:I think back then I guess he was. I mean, he wasn't ugly. But I'm like, why wouldn't you pick, I don't know Somewhat.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Patrick Swayze to deliver the check.
Speaker 1:I just feel like it would.
Speaker 2:I'm googling it.
Speaker 1:Always Ed McMahon. I just can't get over that. So let us know in the comments, or not in the comments, because you can't Let us know on our hotline, text us or call us. Did you think it was Ed McMahon? Have you ever heard of this and know that he was not part of Publishers Clearance?
Speaker 2:I'm googling it right now Was Ed McMahon he was not.
Speaker 1:I have googled, I have looked. There's all of these things. He was never associated with Publishers or Publishing. I'm still not even sure which one that is.
Speaker 2:I'll tell you in just a minute.
Speaker 1:Okay, god, I just can't get over that, though that one is one that plays with my mind.
Speaker 2:Well, and I googled it. Okay, mr Ed McMahon, it is Publishers Clearinghouse.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Like I said, he was never affiliated. Who were the spokesperson for the clearinghouse? Marie Osmond. I don't remember Marie Osmond doing anything with that.
Speaker 1:She was lying. She was a spokesperson for Publishers Clearinghouse. Yeah Well, I don't picture her showing up with the chat and Steve Harvey.
Speaker 2:It was not a black person and it was not a woman. It wasn't. I need help. I know, it was a white older man, right? I do not get that, and I've loved Steve Harvey. I would have remembered Steve Harvey Like.
Speaker 1:I love him. Marie Osmond, everyone would have remembered that.
Speaker 2:This is a conspiracy theory. Right here, they're doing this to confuse us.
Speaker 1:Okay, here is another one that I just saw, which made me think I need to bring this up on the podcast, because I saw this one the other day. I'm going to let you fill in the blank. So there's a Christmas song, song.
Speaker 2:Song All right.
Speaker 1:I was trying to read and it says I'll be home for Christmas. You can blank on me.
Speaker 2:I'll be home for Christmas. You can count on me.
Speaker 1:Okay, it's not count on me.
Speaker 2:That's a damn lie what is it Plan on me? You can plan on me. That don't even sound right.
Speaker 1:Well, look it up, that's what it is Really. Yes.
Speaker 2:And yes, you can let me know if y'all want a CD of me singing Christmas too.
Speaker 1:I don't know how this is going to come out, but I feel like in my headphones you kind of needed a warm up before you just went into that little ditty there. But, I had to sing it to get it out.
Speaker 2:Home for.
Speaker 1:Christmas.
Speaker 2:You can count on me.
Speaker 1:No plan on me, that's wrong. Evidently we've learned it wrong our whole life.
Speaker 2:Another one that I looked up, which confused me there was never Jiffy peanut butter.
Speaker 1:What the hell was it Jiffy peanut butter, and I hated Jiffy peanut butter.
Speaker 2:I like Peter Pan.
Speaker 1:Yeah, or what's the main brand? What's the red label? Isn't it red and blue or red and green? That's the most common.
Speaker 2:Jiff, it's Jiffy. I mean, it's not Jiffy, it's Jiff and Skippy, and our brain puts it together and it makes Jiffy. Maybe we think Jiffy cornbread mix. Maybe we think Jiffy because of that.
Speaker 1:Maybe Jiff is the one I like. I don't know.
Speaker 2:You don't even know.
Speaker 1:You just know the way it looks. Yeah, I'm going to have to look and see. Oh, jiff is the one I like. It's the red, blue and green label. So it's Skippy, that I didn't like.
Speaker 2:Nobody likes Skippy.
Speaker 1:I've never, but I thought it was Jiffy.
Speaker 2:I like Peter Pan peanut butter or Jiff, but I don't Skippy. I've never bought in my life. What are y'all like? What did you think it was Jiffy peanut butter? I bet you, we think that because of Skippy Jiff and then Jiffy muffin mix.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I do like Jiff, but I thought it was Jiffy Never like Skippy, and maybe it's their label, I don't know. And Peter Pan? I don't remember much about that, I just looked up.
Speaker 2:I have it in my pantry now.
Speaker 1:Is it good? No, I like the honey peanut butter.
Speaker 2:That's what I get.
Speaker 1:The roasted honey, that's the good stuff there and I can't stand, as much as I try. I don't eat a lot of peanut butter either. So before you come at me because I know it's not the most healthy thing and there's things but I cannot stand that bad for you, the natural kind that separates.
Speaker 2:Oh, it's dirt. You gotta you gotta Dirt. They need to call that peanut butter mud. I Tried, you know, I've done every diet in the book and I've gone on my all my healthy kicks and one time I said, oh, I'm gonna switch to all natural and I'm gonna grind my own peanut butter.
Speaker 1:Hey, you'll know there is a gif. I feel like that's natural. It says it's natural.
Speaker 2:They do have a natural and it's a good one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but the rent, the stuff where you grind it yourself or it's just ground. First of all, the oil separating grosses me out and then, like you said, it just tastes like and it looks like dog poop. On a bad day.
Speaker 2:It's grow. It tastes like dirt to me.
Speaker 1:And that's one of those things I will just not eat it versus going to the natural.
Speaker 2:The natural. I would just cut it out of my life before I would eat that.
Speaker 1:But speaking of brands and this gets off of the Mandela effect, which we'll get back to because I have some other ones, but it's kind of like Coke and Pepsi. You know, there is a clear divide. I feel like most of it, I feel like some of it, depends on where you grew up in the country. Whether you're coke or Pepsi, well you know, but it's whatever you grew up on is what you know, I will not drink Pepsi. It might as well be.
Speaker 2:I.
Speaker 1:Any Pepsi brand, anything. First of all, I don't drink. I drink maybe Five soft drinks a year.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:I do not drink any soft drink and I drink.
Speaker 2:I don't buy any. We do not buy any at home. Yeah, but Dylan is the same way. If they have Pepsi products and that's all we have, then we go to unsweetened tea or water.
Speaker 1:Usually water. We just do water. Daniel and I started years like when, when we first met, I was already not drinking that much, you know like soda or whatever you want to call it coke, yeah, and then we just stopped drinking it and it's one of those things. Maybe a few times a year, usually, when I will drink a soda, there's I can tell you the reasons why. I don't know why and what it is and there's got to be some type of mental something behind it psychology.
Speaker 1:I will drink coke whenever we are at market in a showroom. I don't know why. I Feel like there's something with the air in all three places where I usually drink soft drinks, where it kind of like Drives you out and something about the carbonation feels good on my throat and that's when I crave it. But it's always at market, normally when we're resetting the retail stores during the holiday season, because we stay there late. But again, I don't know if it's like we're moving stuff and unpacking and it's dry and dusty and so it feels good to have a soda. And then the other place is when I'm on an airplane and I always have ginger ale, but it's something I need that biz Hmm to like. Those are the three times places that I drink a soft drink.
Speaker 2:I don't drink any soft drink except diet coke or diet Dr Pepper in its, Maybe once a week but you used to.
Speaker 1:I like three or four years ago.
Speaker 2:Oh, probably. No, it would have been six probably. I quit about six years ago.
Speaker 1:I don't know, but I stayed on you for that.
Speaker 2:I would drink probably eight to twelve a day diet coke with all that Spurtain.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I and I kept one in my car all the time, right, you know, when you own McDonald's and you're going store to store, you know I would take one cup and I would refill it at each store, mm-hmm, and you know. But before that, before that, it was coke, regular coke. And then I forced myself to like diet and now I can't like, I don't hate regular, it's like drinking syrup to me, but I try not to drink any of it and I feel like diet, diet or peppers better than diet coke, right, I don't know.
Speaker 1:So back to I don't know if any of them's better, because they all pipe but you know, as a treat. Yeah, do you know? A little bit on. But back to the Mandela effect. I have some others for you. The other one that I saw is we all know, because I say this every morning to myself mirror, mirror on the wall.
Speaker 2:Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who's the prettiest of them all?
Speaker 1:me. That's what I said. No, I'm just kidding, but did you know it's not mirror? Mirror on the wall magic mirror magic mirror on the wall. Magic mirror on the wall but nobody says that no, how did we all learn it as mirror? Mirror on the wall, because that's the common phrase, like that's super common. That was another one that blew my mind.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm, that's weird, isn't that?
Speaker 1:weird. How did we all learn these things? One more that, and I just saw this one when I was Looking up some before we started, and I always thought the show was called sex in the city, sex in the city, but it's actually sex and the city. What did you think it was?
Speaker 2:I watched sex in the city. I think I was in the city.
Speaker 1:Yeah sex in the city which I can see how your mind can do that. But and I wasn't like a big, I didn't follow that show. But you would think, does the logo not come up every episode, like why would so many people think sex in?
Speaker 2:the, I think because we quit reading it. It's, we see, it is my guess.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but then you don't pay attention after, after a little while.
Speaker 2:Yeah it.
Speaker 1:Just these hurt my brain for sure. And then the other one that I saw and this is going back to. If you played Monopoly Back in the day, that the Monopoly man like, if you picture the Monopoly man, then he have what do you call that little Monocle a Monocle? He didn't have one, never had one, evidently. And how is that possible? Did you think he had?
Speaker 2:one. I still think he has one.
Speaker 1:Well, evidently he doesn't but the planners peanut man does he does clearly, doesn't he better if he doesn't? I'm, nothing is real. I don't. I can picture the planners. Peanut man. He has a cane to right. Do you have a cane in a Monocle? I don't, I don't know. I think he has a cane the other one that, if you just ask me, I would have thought was right, is fruit of the loom. There's had a cornucopia? Well, it doesn't, mm-hmm, never had one, it's just free sitting there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I could have sworn it was with the cornucopia. Yeah, not weird. I guess the cornucopia is in the front. What is that's?
Speaker 1:why they did it, but don't they make Women's clothes as well?
Speaker 2:Yeah, they make all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 1:Okay, so I don't know where the cornucopia Front came in to the bed.
Speaker 2:Oh, it's a different kind of basket.
Speaker 1:Oh my god. So let us know if you've heard any Mandela effects that we need to discuss, because there are Some weird ones out there. Those were some just quick ones that I've come across that just I was like huh, I thought it was this way, yeah and I read through some and I disagreed.
Speaker 2:You know I rolled those out right because they just didn't you're like. No, and I read one that was so dumb. Okay, this is interesting. That people, some people and if you think this, you need help, get help that some people think chartreuse, the color chartreuse, is a hot pink. No, where's, where are those?
Speaker 1:people.
Speaker 2:Chartreuse is a green that, but they're saying that a lot of people out there think chartreuse is a Hot pink.
Speaker 1:Well, they just didn't pay attention in kindergarten or something. They just learned it wrong. That's not really a Mandela effect. Well, that's what they're saying it is that you so, like a large group of people, learn chartreuse's pink. That's what it says Uh-uh, that one's too far-fetched for me, I think that's just nuts.
Speaker 2:I mean, maybe my dad might not know what chartreuse is Because they don't know, because they don't know, but he it looks like a sub-color. It's a sub-color and my dad's obviously a southern straight man. He would say it's green blue, red.
Speaker 1:Or like bright green yeah but he wouldn't know.
Speaker 2:Maybe chartreuse to know if it was pink or green or purple. But I mean, I don't buy that one.
Speaker 1:That one's a little far-fetched for me I call BS on that.
Speaker 2:I need to write these people, but let us know if you think chartreuse, if you thought chartreuse was a shade of hot pink tell us, I mean prove us wrong?
Speaker 1:And what Mandela effect have you heard that we need to talk about, Because there's a lot out there In our hotline numbers 8649825029.
