Episode 13: The Mandela Effect – False Memories or Alternate Realities?

Alexa + Katie Season 1 Episode 13

What if you could remember something so vividly… only to discover it never happened? Welcome to the Mandela Effect—where your memory isn’t wrong, reality is.

In this episode, Alexa takes us down the rabbit hole of collective false memories that refuse to fade: Berenstain Bears vs. Berenstein, Monopoly Man’s missing monocle, and whether or not Sinbad ever starred in a genie movie. But beneath the quirky examples lies a deeper question: are these memory glitches just psychological quirks, or do they point to something bigger? Quantum timelines? CERN experiments? Government manipulation of reality?

We explore the science, the speculation, and the straight-up weirdness behind one of the most viral brain-bending conspiracies of our time. If you've ever sworn the Fruit of the Loom logo had a cornucopia… you're not alone. But you might not be from here.
