Hey! Hey! Welcome back to 30 Dirty Dying! It's
a new season. New year. New, not new me. No,
we're the same. Maybe worse? Probably worse.
I'm worse today, I gotta tell you. Um, so how's
it been? I'm, I'm Clarissa. You're Courtney.
Yeah, I'm Courtney. You're Clarissa. Yep. We're
here back for season seven. I can hardly believe
it. It's, it feels like yesterday. We were just
starting. Yeah. Talking about, Hey, you think
we should make a podcast? And we're just like,
yeah, let's do it. Yeah. Thinking I'm surprised
yesterday. I was thinking about the other day
and it was like, I can't believe we're on season
seven. I've been doing this for a couple of years.
And also like. I'm surprised we lasted seven
seasons. I'm surprised we lasted seven minutes.
I literally you know, because when you're first
starting something like this, it's like, well,
maybe we'll just get our sillies out for a minute
and then it'll be over. We got big dreams. We
got big dreams. Big, big dreams. Lots of big
dreams. Things I want to do someday. Do do do
do. That's for sissy. Okay, it was her fifth
grade graduation song. Actually, you've told
me this. We've been doing this too long. Anyways,
like we said, I'm like we said, like we said,
I'm Clarissa. I'm Courtney. And we're excited
to be back for another season of your favorite
millennial podcast or soon to be favorite millennial
podcast. And I think I haven't discussed this
with Courtney at all. I'm doing this live. Okay,
cool. I think this will be the season of Bringing
back the faves. Okay, cuz like last season we
said season of the brackets Yeah, we bracketed
that's and we made it happen. What if what if
we bracket our favorite episode? I think we could
I'm not saying it has to be we're not redoing
Everything every episode like right always be
a redo, but I just think you know, are you gonna
make me watch Twilight again? Maybe I haven't
thought about that cuz isn't that like one of
our most like listen to episode. It's one of
my most a lot. Um, but no, I just think it should
be not necessarily always repeating or doing
like part whatever, but I think we deserve to
enjoy ourselves. I think we've been around the
block a few times seven seasons. We should just
Jenny from the block. Yeah, I used to have a
little now we have a lot of episodes. I think
our goal for this season should be just just
enjoying our fave things. Fave episodes from
days past. Con like content that is about our
favorite things what we love about our 30 journey
thus far I love that I do too. I'm glad you do
because like I said, we did not discuss this
We did not just thinking about it the other day
and was like that would be a good theme Yeah,
so that's our theme for this season guys things
they've things and you're you're our fave things
You're my fave thing. You're my fave thing. I
love your dress, too Oh, thank you. It's from
Walmart is $3. She's wearing like a green velvet
dress. It's very like Slytherin Oh, except for
I'm a Hufflepuff. I know, but you married a Slytherin,
so. Yeah. Hell yeah. I mean, I practically married
two Slytherins, let's be honest. Oh my god. Yeah,
Mike is a Death Eater. I think he says he's a
Ravenclaw. He's not! Or he's a Gryffindor. No!
The only Gryffindor thing about him is that he's
so loud and abrasive. He's not even. Like, with
his opinions, I mean. Not like he's loud and
mean, but like, his opinions, he's got a lot
of them. And Gryffindors have a lot of them and
think that they're right about all of them. That's
what I mean. No disrespect. Just... Maybe he's
a slither Gryff. He's a Slytherin. He's probably
dropped out. To pursue evil full time. I love
Mike, I'm just fucking with him, I don't know.
No, it's not like he's a Slytherin. Yeah, it's
easy because he's not here. I like to bully him
behind his back. But also to his face. Yeah,
that too. Welcome back to the show. So for our
first episode of our season of favorite things,
we are bringing back a favorite from the past,
way from the past Courtney, right? Yes. What
is it? What's the word? The episode is, um, Courtney
doesn't know what we're doing, which is our favorite
thing. No, so back in season one. Oh, I know
the word now. the word of the day is uh conspiracy
conspiracy theories this is my favorite thing
i like to do research she does and you're so
good at it i'm a research gal you really are
and you're really good at it and you know it
always works out that when you say you want to
do an episode of research type thing so you can
let that shine my brain turns into soup every
time we do one of these episodes so i'm really
just like the peanut gallery over here i've got
a few contributions But just like when we did
our millennial conspiracy theories way back in
season one, Courtney is the best on to bring
it back. There have been many a time with my
brain that I have. I went down the rabbit hole
and I'm like, you know what, that does sound
like that could happen. A little bit on the same
vibe of seeing a meme going around kind of recently,
which probably means that it went around like
six months ago and I'm just up on it. But it's
like says I'm gonna go to sleep four hours later
now let's solve the John Benet Ramsey case is
exactly what I do like I always say I go to bed
at like eight or nine but I don't go to sleep
until probably two in the morning yeah and I
just sit there and research the weirdest shit
usually crimes or historical things but occasionally
rabbit hole and I will just fall in it I watched
like like an hour long YouTube video about the
world being flat No, and I'm like, well, no,
I don't believe it. I obviously I'm not that
crazy but like they have like some stuff and
I'm like No, stop watching this like I sat there.
I'm just like You know, I thought honestly I
feel like it lends itself like what you're saying
to what we said when we did our first conspiracy
theory episode way back when which like conspiracy
theories obviously have always been around but
there is something about the age of the internet
and growing up as Millennials and and zillennials
and even Gen Z of like when the internet was
burgeoning and people could just like put all
of that stuff that was just sort of talked about
word of mouth on the internet and it gained rapid
fire like You know tumblr reddit, etc, you know,
so there is something kind of special about the
age of the internet conspiracy theories that
you can make a really solid case on one big giant
blog and And lay it out to seem very official
and it can really be compelling no matter what
you're saying But a quick disclaimer that you
also reminded me of by saying that bullshit about
the earth being flat We are not talking about
like serious. We didn't last time either. We
keep it strictly fun, strictly millennial pop
culture vibes, and a few other special interest
topics. We're not talking about anything like
politics or like serious historical shit. Yeah,
I tried when I was looking through a couple things
that I was like, Oh, this is interesting. But
then I realized how political it got. I'm like,
I don't really want to do it. Yeah, we don't.
That's not what we're doing here. That's not
what we're here to do. We're here to have fun
with it with conspiracy theories. That's why
we call them the millennial conspiracy theories.
They're just fun. If you're looking for intense
tinfoil hat conspiracy theory content, I'm sure
there's a place for you. But this isn't it. This
isn't it. You can stay. Oh, please stay. Just
be aware that this is not no it's not going to
be that and if you're like your arguments were
not very compelling. Yeah, no fucking dub, Brad.
We're just having a good old time. Okay. Yeah,
and these aren't mine. Like I just Yeah, we didn't
come up with the evidence. Yeah, there's no evidence
that I have. There are no scholarly articles.
Actually, I did find a scholarly article. So
I lied. There is a single scholarly article that
I have. And I have linked it so I can go to I
really wanted to. So we're gonna like obviously
talk about what goes into some of these theories,
what evidence is compelling to us are just interesting.
But mainly, we're just going to talk about them
and talk about what we think and why we're entertained
by them. So you know, cool your jets. We're starting
off with our favorite things. This is one of
our favorite things to do. But that's how we
do it. We don't get this is how we do it. This
is how we do it. Oh, so yeah, that's what we're
gonna do today. I'm excited. I have a few things
to contribute. Like I said, but this is mostly
Courtney, just miss frizzling the shit out of
us. Let's go on the bus. Let's get on the bus.
But first, the bus has to make a stop. I'm so
excited to be back in time. Just really quick.
I should have said this in the beginning. I'm
excited to be back podcasting with you. Me too.
We like, yeah, we had a break. Yeah, but we also
had a break. Yeah, we were on a break. We were
on a break. We saw each other. Yeah, we went
and saw Nosferatu. I'm still thinking about it.
I still yeah, I'm having nightmares dreams. I
don't know. It really it I don't I don't I'll
never be the same. I don't know what to think.
Not good things. Not all bad things. Not all
bad things. Just all things like in general movie
wise production wise great. Yes, but also artistic.
Wonderful. Yes. Looks great costume design. Yeah,
team. Amazing. Clearly a well done movie. I just
It was disturbing and like I watch a lot of disturbing
shit like I'm a disturbed bitch And I was still
like I don't want to do this There were times
I was like I'm gonna go home but then there were
times I was like rooting for it as if it were
some sort of love story and I was like this like
when that face to face that alone like oh yeah
because I was like why am I doing this why aren't
you guys kissing yet then I was like why do I
want you to kiss yeah like this is it was something
else so we had a lot of friendship time we hung
out but we really took a big old podcasting break
so I'm excited to be back and I'm honestly surprised
that I'm excited to be back not because I hate
the podcast because I don't I'm not excited for
much last few weeks. Yeah, first couple weeks
in 2025 have been a little great already. Yeah,
just a little wild for me in particular. And
just in general, nothing feels real conspiracy
theory. Time is construct. Nothing makes sense.
Nothing. I've just kind of been in a day. The
points don't matter weeks on at this point. I
don't know if it's depression. I don't know if
it's just what's happening. There's a lot of
stuff happening. Yeah, so I think we should we
should continue our trip back in time. I just
wanted to highlight how important it was to take
a trip back in time at a time like this. Yeah,
let's go 2003. 2003. I found an article and I
just want to say the first sentence. Okay. Go
off pop culture happenings from year 2003. Members
of our new class of 2025 were born. I wanna be
dead. So, people born in 2003, graduating college,
25, this year. I mean, congrats. I was 12. Oh,
the days of our lives. That's how much time there's
been. They're 22. I'm feeling 22. I'm not. I'm
not feeling 22. I'm barely feeling 30, which
is what we are. It was the whole show. I'm feeling
way older than 30. I'm feeling 67 at least. 69.
Not even that fun. My meanwhile died when she
was 69. That's honestly, it's a way to go. Yeah.
I want to in my living will that someone needs
to kill me by 69. Okay, I'll do it. Cool. Just
tell Mike, okay, because I don't want to be prosecuted.
No, he'll be like, it's fine. I got you. I've
been wanting for 45 years. I did my waiting.
12 years of it. You can ask a man. Mars makes
its closest approach to Earth in nearly 60 ,000
years. Arnold Schwarzenegger is inaugurated as
governor in California. Wow. I'll be back. We'll
look back at life in 2003. This is from Syracuse
University. Cool. And it's kind of taking some
things that are pretty commonplace today and
saying how if they existed at all back then.
Okay. Social media was in its infancy. Was Myspace
out in 2002? No. I forget when it came out. I
don't know. I guess it could have been out, but
it says it was the largest social media network
in the world. from 05 to 08. So it had just been
invented, but it wasn't got nobody was really
using it yet. Facebook didn't come on the scene
until 2004. Yeah, so there was literally like
nothing. And when Facebook was first created,
it was just college students. Yep. Like you had
to have like a dot edu email in order to even
sign up for because I remember my sister Yeah,
because she was in college and she signed up
for it. And then like a year later. It opened
to the public masses, and then I signed up for
one. Well, it's I like the heading of this one.
We were all about that t9 life. I miss I still
do that. Oh, yeah, but I tested myself out the
other day and I can still t9. I'm proud of you.
Me too. Yeah, that might not be of age. Listening
to this will not know what that means. I mean,
you can Google it. Yeah, you know t9. It's what
gave me most of the arthritis in my thumbs. Yeah.
I was so fast, man. Fast as fuck, boyee. Streaming
music was not a thing. Yeah, streaming music
was not a thing. Top albums of 2003, which included
Get Rich or Die Tryin' by 50 Cent, John Mayer's
Heavier Things, or the Bad Boys 2 soundtrack.
You would have to hit the local music store like
FYE or Sam Goody and buy the CD. Well, speaking
of 2003 and music, Apple's iTunes music store
opened. Oh shit. Selling one million songs in
his first week. Wow. See this says that Apple
Music, like Apple Music as a streaming, didn't
even come out until 2015. Well maybe it was Apple,
it was probably Apple Music purchasing albums.
I think it's like, like how they have Apple Music
as a streaming thing right now. Yeah. Like, I'm
sure iTunes was out, but it's saying like, because
YouTube didn't launch until 2005. Spotify followed
in 2006. Yeah, let me find some books that came
out in 2003. I don't even think of that. Can
I tell you? Tell me whatever the fuck you want.
Well, not 2003. But books related real quick.
Yeah, of course. You should be proud of me. I
read three books on Saturday. Wow. Well, so like
I had one, like a little over halfway done. So
I finished that one. Okay. And then I had a physical
book that I remembered I started reading, but
I never finished. So I finished the physical
book. okay and then i started one and finished
one at like well technically it was like two
o 'clock in the morning well whatever the next
day but yeah so like and i also want to point
out that i read three non -spuddy books in a
row i mean two of them were about suicide yeah
well you know i cried Mean, that's good. Probably
that you cried, but I was also listening to 21
pilots while I was reading that book and it just
made so much worse Yeah, that'll do it to you.
That'll do big that'll just finish the great
fucking book like last night I stayed I read
it like all night and then I came home It was
dog -sitting and then usually I just kind of
try to go right to bed Couldn't do it had to
stay awake and do it. You know when it's a good
book so fucking good What was it called called
Indian burial ground by an indigenous author?
I forget Nick Medina. That's his name. Um, and
it's so good and so scary. And at first I was
like, Oh, slow start a little bit. No, once you
really get into it, it all comes together perfectly.
Like it's if anything, it was a slow start because
of me. Like I took a few breakity breaks, but
it wasn't because the book was bad. And once
you read it all together, I think you should
read Tales from the gas station. Okay, I will.
Sure. Why not? There's like, I think it's like
four bucks. Okay. I read the first one and it's
I like the way that it's written. I don't know
if you will. Okay. But it's, it's not smut. It's
normal. I don't want to say normal. It's not
it's not a romance at all. It's not like that.
It has like, I wouldn't say horror, but it's
like supernatural. Okay. And I was really digging
it. And I already downloaded the second one.
Let's see. Oh, yeah, 2003 some books that came
out in 2003. I'm trying to see oh, we need to
talk about Kevin That's a book. It's a weird
book Kevin. Yeah, it's I guess I've never is
it about a guy named Kevin It actually is whoa.
I know um I've never read the book, but I did
see the movie which is insane It's basically
the story of like a kid who becomes a school
shooter It's like from the perspective of his
mom kind of his mom never really I don't want
to say never liked him But honestly like never
liked it like they never bonded She always was
like kids fucking weird and then turns out she
was super right Let's see what else something
all the wizard hunters that sounds fun the time
travelers wife, okay as a book Speaking of wizards.
Yeah, Waverly, please no wicked Broadway came
out in 2003. Oh, did it? Yeah. Wow. Did they
have the book? No, Wicked opened on Broadway
in 2003. Wow. I wonder if they knew they were
gonna be so popular. My mom finally watched it.
We were supposed to watch it together. She did
not wait for me. It's fine. I was gonna watch
it for her. I'm not saying it's bad. I just had
no strong feelings. She? Not a fan. What? She
didn't like the ending. She said she loved the
rest of it. She didn't like the ending and it
kind of ruined it for her because it's part two
She said I know I know and she's gonna watch
the part two to see if it redeems itself but
she was like I really hated the ending and I'm
just saying that's what she reported back. I
don't know anything about it. I wasn't there
I want to see it again. Yeah. Well, I can watch
it with you now since she went without me You
can come over and watch if you want sure whenever
you just tell me what to do. Yeah When you want
me to do it. Tell me what to do. One more book,
one more book. The Da Vinci Code. Everybody knows
that one. I've never read it. Me neither. Isn't
that a movie too? Oh, for sure. Okay, I've never
watched that either. Oh, also the Devil Wears
Prada book came out. I love the movie. Me too,
I've never read the book. I quote, if I ever
feel faint, I eat a cube of cheese all the time.
Please move at a glacial pace. You know how it
thrills me. I fucking love that. Well, that's
definitely a you quote. Well, yeah, because I'm
very impatient. Chicago took home the Oscar for
Best Picture. I thought you were gonna say something
about sports. Chicago took home the fuck me up
cup for the best hockey in the world. The fuck
me up cup. Finding Nemo. Yeah, some crazy good
movies came out. Finding Nemo, Pirates of the
Caribbean, Lord of the Rings Return of the King.
School of Rock. You know I love School of Rock.
Love Actually. Kill Bill volume one. Well the
last samurai one of my favorite movies of all
time. I've never seen it It's got Tom Cruise
in it and it's actually really good How to lose
a guy in ten days great movie. I only needed
one Mystic River. It's my favorite movie. I don't
know what that is. Oh, this is the too fast too
furious also holes digging up them holes A -R
-M -P -I to the T. What is that? You smelling
dog? That's me. I don't take showers and I don't
brush my teeth. All I do is dig holes, eat and
sleep. So they're making the remix. Have we heard?
Remix! They're rebooting it? Yeah, I think probably
Disney Plus, right? Yeah. I think it's like they're
kids or something? Well, they were kids then.
Yeah, so they're adults now having kids. Oh,
like the characters kids. Yes. I thought you
just meant it's or digging holes. Because maybe
not because I saw like I've heard multiple things.
I also heard that it's going to be like gender
swap. So it's like a female I heard that cast
and they're digging holes. Yeah. Which you would
think after the first failed attempt, they wouldn't
try it again. This is my thing. Well, though,
when I say failed attempt, I don't mean the movie.
The movie was great. I loved it. It was a great
movie. But like how many times can you dig a
hole? Because you already found The box, but
this is the thing that's what I mean is in the
illness was found is it is it like before Stanley
Yellen that's even got there and like a different
group of of students from the past is that what
they're going for I don't here's my thing I Understand
a lot of people are excited and I don't want
to shit all over your parade here. I'm not excited
There's no thing is to book No, because I remember
reading holes the book and then watching the
movie and thinking, wow, this is like very close
except for the ending. Yeah. I mean, I put that
thing down, flipped it and reversed it. I watched
the movie first and then read the book. But can
you believe I read the book first? Yeah, I think
you're really smart and great. Thank you. But
I didn't start reading until last year. ever.
That's not true. I am telling me you never read
exclusively like any assigned books. Yeah, never
read them. Well, I know. But you could read I
read you need to be Jones. There you go. There
you go. Or like in goosebumps. Yeah, see Coraline.
The hits keep coming. But no, I'm just not excited.
I don't care. I I'm really sick of like this.
Everything has to get remade. And it's because
no one has an original idea. no and like so they're
saying it they're doing it for like all of us
internet millennials who just thrive on nostalgia
and like i get that but i don't need a new one
i just need you to keep holes original available
at all times so i can watch it whenever i want
a few things that like to remake are fine or
to reboot or whatever but not every fucking thing
yeah not every fucking thing because then why
am i ever like why are people ever gonna watch
the originals they're not Just I don't know.
I know I sound like a big big boy boomer, but
like I just I'm getting annoyed by it Yeah, because
there's so much of it. I'm just I'm just annoyed
that There are like very few original ideas that
are coming out. Yeah, there's no original storylines
everything's being Part two or like redone or
yeah, and it's just like some of it is fine all
of it No, you know Jenna Ortega said something
really good about it because they asked her about
something about like making a gender swapped
version of I forget exactly what it was, but
something and she was like, yeah, no, I don't
think they should do that. I think they should
just make new and exciting stories centered around
female centered around women and women's stories.
You don't just have to remake the same stuff
that's already happened and throw women's face
on it. I mean, we saw what happened with Ghostbusters.
Yeah, it's performative. It doesn't mean anything.
I mean, it's a nice idea. But it's like, why
can't we just continue to make new and exciting
content that's based around women's stories?
It's not like there's, there are so many books
that come out every fucking day. Yeah, I don't
know. I'll get off my soapbox. It's just, I saw
a lot of stuff about the holes remake earlier
today. And I was just like, I'm not excited for
this. They're overdoing it. Yeah. No, I agree.
No. Well, let's go out with songs we say like
that and then we'll get into the conspiracies.
Yeah, song me up Okay, I'll song you up. I'll
song you up real nice So this is the billboard
top 100 So some of these, you know might have
come out in 2002. Yep in the club we all fam
In the club we all fam. Yeah get busy by Sean
Paul right there Unwell by Matchbox 20. Correct.
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell. I'm
not crazy, I'm just a little unwell. That's the
lyric? Unwell? I think so. Oh. I mean the song
is called Unwell so I like that. I don't remember.
Bring me to life, Evanescence. Oh nice. Wake
me up inside. I can't wake up. Save me. He's
okay. It goes like turn around and let me see
that sexy body go bom bom bom What it's a song.
I believe it. Oh, it's featuring Diddy. That's
sad. I forgot about that Where is the love by
the black eyed peas and what sad is how like
that has not changed Oh, yeah, what's wrong with
the world mama people feeling like ain't got
no mama I bet the whole world did to the drama
only attracted things out bring us trauma overseas.
Yeah, we started trying to start terrorism, but
we still got terrorism here living in the USA,
the big CIA, the Bloods and the Crips and the
KKK. Wow. That was really impressive. I really
like that song. I mean, I thought I did. Thanks
for listening to 30 Dirty and Dying, the show
for millennials by millennials. We get real about
chronic illness, burnout, nostalgia, and why
we aren't exactly thriving. If that sounds like
you, join us every Thursday for new episodes.
Now back to the show. I'm so excited for Millennial
Conspiracy Theories volume two, the sequel to
Fast and Furious. To conspiracy to theories.
Um, yeah. I don't know. Anyways, I want to say
one thing really quick. Okay, I know we're not
talking about the birds one. We're not talking.
We're not that got way too political. Yeah, it's
all about politics. I did look into it. You saw
it went to that website. But my I didn't go to
where you said to go. I went to FAQ. Okay. And
one of them was like, what about my pet bird?
And it said, if you have a pepper, Don't paint
it! We can talk about this more often, but I
just - there were some that I could not even
keep it together while I was reading those F
.A .Qs. It's so good. It was - it was really
some - Okay. Okay, I can't - It wasn't the Titanic
that sank. Okay. which is full behind the scenes
thing right now before we knew exactly who was
doing what and I just started to look a little
bit. I was fully prepared to throw down on this
one as it of it. So of it being compelling. Yes,
say that. Do you have any of the stuff that you're
looking at? I'm sure I do. But yeah, I can I
can add in as you go. But I love this conspiracy
theory is one of my favorite rabbit holes to
fall into. So go on. Okay, so I only have like
a couple like paragraphs of like information
with this. So it's not going to be like a long
like that same with all of these. So it's not
going to take a four years. Okay, so the theory
is that the ship That hit the iceberg was not
Titanic. It was the sister ship the Olympia or
the Olympic. Oh, whatever. I wrote Olympic. I
said Olympia Olympic all in a ploy to collect
companies insurance. Yep. I have heard these
things. All right, same track. So the official
version says that they hit an iceberg and the
ship sink. So the iceberg grazed the ship causing
a 120 meter long breach in the hull flooding
the holds and then every compartment of the ship
yet. Experts say underwater ice from an iceberg
could not cause a crack of that size in a 2 .5
centimeter double plank steel hull. That was
the Titanic structure. Wow. Apparently, the Olympic
had a collision with an English ship. and not
being insured cannot be repaired right now the
Olympic was also owned by white star lines right
also fun fact okay not part of this white star
lines was purchased by uh fuck not by fuck carnival
cruise so the titanic volume two carnival time
is personal anyways Okay. Go on. So anyways,
so yeah, so the Olympic had a previous collision,
right? Which means it would have already been
damaged. Yeah. And also the propeller that was
found said Olympic on it. No shit. I didn't know
that. Yeah. Oh, man. So and this is the crazy
stuff that I've never heard before. Okay. So
apparently there were seven iceberg warnings
issued earlier that day. Oh, So why didn't the
ship's captain, a sailor for 25 years, not change
course knowing that there's an issue? Yeah, what
the fuck? The Titanic's radio was also switched
off minutes before the collision, missing an
iceberg warning. None of this was in the film.
None of this. It was just all about Rose and
Jack fucking in that car. Maybe if he wouldn't
have been banging the whole time. Also, just
really quick, Rose is the villain. We know this,
right? I would have just stayed with him for
money. This is no, no, not even that. Oh, not
even that. Money and status is so important.
Somebody wrote this whole thing about her on
the internet the other day, and I fully agree.
First of all, she had that fucking necklace.
The whole Coast Guard is looking for the necklace.
It's worth bajillions of dollars. Her granddaughter
is like struggling to continue to care for her
in her 8000 years old age, and she has a billion
dollars around her neck and she won't tell anybody.
even though she's out on this boat and they've
all gone out of the sonar equipment trying to
find this stupid necklace that she has and also
she's she's gonna spend eternity with I understand
it's Leonardo DiCaprio but she fucked him once
she was married for like a billion years what
about her husband poor fucking sap Rose Dawson
is a major bitch and I'm saying it right now
but also like would not save myself for a man
I just met. Fuck him. No, I would totally do
that. I wouldn't. I know I would have gotten
on that life. Like that. What's it called? Lifeboat?
Lifeboat? I almost said life ship. I would have
gotten on the lifeboat. And if I saw the guy
I like, had sex with like two hours earlier,
I'd be like thought you meant when you said save
yourself. I thought you meant you wouldn't have
like Saved your virginity from the guy. Oh Yeah,
then also I agree with you. Yeah him get on the
boat Yeah, why why would I I would not jump off?
I'd be like that was a good Three minutes. Thanks.
Yeah. Bye and she does yeah, she fucking kills
him She murders him in the ocean and then she
murders her husband's dead spirit years later
when she chooses to be with that fucking kid
and Not the guy that she like was married to
for a billion years and had a bunch of kids with
And she kept the necklace the whole time. Shut
up! I hate her so much. Go on. Anyways. Anyways.
Oh yeah, so the Titanic radio was switched off
before the collision, missing another iceberg
warning from a ship 40 minutes before the Titanic
crashed. Also, the SOS flares are red, but they
used white ones, which symbolizes a celebration.
s o s please so like imagine like you're putting
off these like flares and that you see a white
one they're like oh it's just like fireworks
it's not like why would i go to that maybe you're
a firework come on let your colors burst and
also this is my last fact hit me five days after
the titanic left titanic in quotes yeah another
ship of similar dimensions and belonging to the
same owner jp morgan left loaded with blankets
and jumpers and remained anchored close to the
scene of the disaster Okay. Where was that prepared
energy 36 hours ago? So I'm thinking that they
had planned. Yeah. To sink the ship. But that's
why they use Olympic because it was already fucked
up. Hey, I wouldn't doubt it. I mean, I don't
know anything. But I wouldn't doubt it. I don't
think I had anything different. I read that there
were like several power players like the billionaires
of today. Yeah, who just like Inexplicably decided
like oh, no, never mind. I'm not going on the
boat Yeah, I like let the very last second which
you know could be a coincidence But also it's
interesting because maybe it wasn't maybe it
was a coincidence Yeah, I think was the stuff
I found and have heard over the years was pretty
much the same as everything you talked about
I think it's interesting and there's so much
lore around the Titanic that I think it is particularly
interesting for us because like You know, we
all love that movie And it just all feels weird.
Yeah, I don't think feels weird. I'm pretty sure
and they made a movie called Bri Tanek. Did you
remember that? No, I do remember there was an
SNL sketch couple years ago where Bowen Yang
was the iceberg. He was like he goes on and they
start asking him it's like weekend update, you
know, news section and they start asking him
questions about the sinking and he's like, uh,
I know my agent was very clear. I am not here
to talk about the sinking. And then they're like,
what else would you want to talk about is like,
I'm here to promote my album. And then they finally
get to talk about it. And he's like, okay, you
came to where I live and you hit me. And then
he says like, and I turn around, half my ass
is gone. And I say I'm sorry, which is insane.
And he's like, and it didn't say that they iceberged
into death. They drowned, bitch. That's the water.
And but my favorite part of the whole sketch
is he goes, they like finally let him talk about
his album. It's called music. He goes, it's 12
tracks, no skips, swear to God. That's just my
favorite part of the whole sketch. He's so funny.
He's fucking hilarious. But that iceberg sketch,
please look it up if you haven't seen it. It
is 10 out of 10. That's the real star. of the
Titanic. The iceberg. Bowen Yang is the iceberg
specifically. I mean, the iceberg is definitely
the star. I mean, the villain. Maybe. Sure. Maybe.
Maybe not. Maybe. Oh, obviously Rose is the villain.
In the movie, yeah. What's the last name? Doipucator?
Isn't that her last name? Doipucator? I don't
think it's... I think you're close, but I don't
quite think we're right. I'm like, Doipucator?
Jack Dawson and then she goes by the name Dawson.
DeWitt. DeWitt. Bucatur. Bucatur. Bucatur. Yeah.
Okay, but you were like, to Bucatur. You said
it all together. But yeah, you're right. Yeah.
All right. Hit me with another one. All right.
Another one. Another one. Prince Charles is a
vampire. Go on. Okay, so let's first talk about
who Dracula is. I'm always ready to do that.
In 1448, Vlad III... Really quick, fun fact.
My cat is named Vlad and he is named after Vlad
the Impaler. Which is what we're talking about.
Yes. I just want to make that clear he's not
named after someone. Which is a familial link
to Charles. Whoa, what? Yes, they are related.
And I will get into that. Better blow my mind
go off. Okay, I'm so ready. Okay, so Vlad the
third claimed the throne of the Romanian Empire
Yes, his legacy sprouted from his insanely cruel
treatment of his enemies He was known for literally
impaling his rivals on stakes in the ground and
leaving them to die earning the name Bloody Impaler
Yeah, or also my cat blabby Blabby Scholars claim
that Brahm Stoker the author of Dracula, used
Vlad the Impaler as inspiration for his character
as Count Dracula, the blood -sucking, garlic
-hating, cross -fearing vampire. In 1998, Prince
Charles learned that through his great -grandmother,
he is a blood -related relative of Vlad the Impaler.
His Romanian roots actually make him out to be
Vlad's great -grandson, 16 times removed. Charles
is actually quite fond of his lineage and promotes
Transylvania As a tourist destination, he even
receives the honorary title of Prince of Transylvania,
claiming Transylvania is in his blood. He needs
to calm down. He also needs to stop. You know
what? I'm going to say that for a minute. Keep
going. OK, so porpheria, I think that's how to
pronounce it, is a disorder that runs rampant
through the royal family. OK, so it's the sickness
is described as a form of serious iron deficiency.
that is nicknamed the vampire disease. Individuals
who suffer from porphyria have an extreme sensitivity
to sunlight to the point that they get blisters
on their skin. Oh, yeah, I think I have this.
Oh, okay. I think I developed it a few years
ago. I have a dermatology appointment next month.
So I'm going to find out for sure. Is he's cool?
Yeah, we're good. So like with all of those things
that the fact that he is literally linked to
Count Dracula. Yeah. And he has this disorder.
Yeah, I put it in air quotes. Is he saying that
he has porphyria as a cover for being a vampire?
I mean, I have not many good things to say about
him, R .I .P. Diana. Can vampires just like say,
oh, no, I'm just I have porphyria. I guess you
could. And then suck your blood. What did Edward
say? What did Twilight, what did they say they
had something? I repressed that memory. I just
watched it the other day. Oh, I'm sorry. No,
we did it on purpose. We wanted to ring in the
new year. The wrong way. Hell yeah. No, I don't
know. Some vampires in vampire lore, like when
they live amongst humans, they do often say that
they have illnesses and things as a cover. Like,
oh, I can't go outside because my psoriasis is
so fucking nuts. And it's like, no, I just want
to eat you. I just want to eat you. I just want
to eat you. That's why the whole family is like,
you know how close they are. Yeah. Think that's
why because they're all vampires and specifically
Charles maybe hey, maybe The blood if he's really
about blood and he's got he likes to talk about
blood a lot. It's everything's in his blood You
know, um, he had this phone call get leaked back
in the day when he was still married to Diana
I think they were separated but they were married
and he had a phone call get linked with him and
Camilla um Where he said he wanted to be her
tampax her tampon took a could be up in her.
So we know he's a fan of blood and wants to soak
it all up at all times. Apparently blood play
is a thing. I don't want to talk about this.
I like that one about about King Chuck. Did I
only have three? I thought I had four. Well,
you told me the birds but then we mixed birds.
Oh, yeah, you're right. You're right. So hit
me with another. Okay, so this is where I found
scholarly articles. oh shit earth has been sucked
into a black hole i want it because i've not
heard this i don't i'm not familiar with this
okay so let's let's a little science lesson here
guys what is a black hole i'm not sure put your
listening ears on guys miss frizzle's here to
teach you science they're right here all right
so what is a black hole a region of space having
a gravitational field so intense that no matter
no matter or radiation can escape They are theoretically
formed when a massive star exhausts its nuclear
fuel and collapses under its own gravity. If
the star is massive enough, no known force can
counteract the increasing gravity and it will
collapse to a point of infinite density. Before
this stage is reached, light itself becomes trapped
within a certain radius known as the event horizon
and the object becomes invisible. Okay. Alright.
Since black holes form from the death of massive
stars, the theory is that Earth was formed inside
of one, the Big Bang. Is this why we're so sad?
Maybe. Anyways, go ahead. So the Big Bang. It
has been suggested that the Big Bang is a black
hole opening into another universe. The matter
absorbed by this black hole is what started our
universe, and our universe is constantly growing
due to the more cosmic material being absorbed.
Okay. Another theory of Earth residing in a black
hole is due to the collapse of a five dimensional
star. According to gravitational physics, we
physics, we would be in a smaller dimension surrounded
by a larger dimension with a larger five dimensional
star collapsing into a black hole in which we
reside. I think that goes with like the whole
different dimension situation. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A PhD astrophysicist exclaims in quotes, remarkably,
the Schwarzschild, I think the Schwarzschild
radius of a black hole with the mass of all the
matter in the observable universe is almost exactly
equal to the observed size of the visible universe.
That realization on its own seems like a remarkable
coincidence. Most cosmologists almost says cosmetologists.
Most cosmologists conclude that using the same
set of equations for the interior of a black
hole and the evolution of our universe is coincidentally
the same answer. Oh shit. So there's a side conspiracy.
Okay. There are black holes on earth. Right.
So and this this conspiracy goes along with like
Bigfoot and those types of things. So the and
why they're so hard to find is because they will
disappear in a black hole and reappear in a white
hole, which is opposite of black hole. So they
just like kind of pop in and out. So they like
apparate. Yeah, like in Harry Potter. Sure. So
that's why Mothman is so sneaky. Yes. Okay. See
now you're speaking my language. talking about
cryptids and shit. I like that kind of conspiracy
shit. Yeah. I gotta be real with you, Courtney.
This is not what I was expecting. Oh, I was hoping
it was gonna be like, we're in a black hole and
Avril Lavigne's in the other one. Well, that's
good with the dimensions. Okay. I didn't go that
into detail. But if we're talking dimensions
here and like the black hole, and then separate
dimensions. Like we started in one right maybe
we're like filtering in now like it's a black
hole white hole situation Maybe that could be
what the Mandela effect could be which is the
only thing that I came prepared to discuss Okay,
just like last time I am a big I don't know if
I would say believer But I have a lot to say
and think about the Mandela effect the bears
team bears piss me off the most Yeah, I have
a lot to piss me off. We talked about several
last season the last time we did this in the
first season So please go back and listen to
that episode, but I did find some other ones
that I wanted to discuss. And maybe this could
be about like this black hole thing and the dimensions,
because that is a theory, right? That the Mandela
effect is because we are in different dimensions
or different. What's that? What's that? What
do they call that? Multiverse, the multiverse
thing. Or it could be a side effect of time travel,
which, you know, maybe. for people listening
if you wanted to read that article it's by Duquesne
University it was like an article that someone
wrote wrote at Duquesne okay good to know yeah
it's called it was written in 2021 by SB Jackson
did earth make its home in a black hole okay
so that if you want to find out more um okay
so one that I definitely wanted to talk about
was Pikachu yes Pikachu Many of us remember his
little tail. Yep, and they're being the end of
the tail black. Yep. No, you're a liar. It's
apparently never had the black tip. It's always
had the black tip. You dressed up as Pikachu.
You should know. I know. I swear to God. Listen,
I was I was a big Pokemon bitch as a kid. I loved
Pokemon and I had yes, I dressed up as Pikachu.
But I had a Pikachu toy, like a stuffed one,
and I vividly remember that it had the black
like square on the end of the tail. Yeah. But
now they're trying to tell us that it does not.
I'm going to show you a picture. And it's it's
it's wrong. It's wrong. It's wrong. So this is
what we remember. Right. Right. With the black.
That's what it really is, apparently. They changed
it. They're fucking changed it. That's not real.
But why doesn't why are they doing this to us?
You know what I should do what I should get out
my Pokemon cards Yes, and I should see cuz we
the og 90s Pokemon cards what I have. Yes, you
should I have a few but you if you can find them
easier you should yeah, but I wish I could find
that toy that I'm talking about because I remember
it like you squeezed it it said Pika Pika and
like I'm telling you it had the black thing on
the end And I hate that they're lying to us.
It's so stupid. I'm going into my Pokemon go
real quick and see if I have a Pikachu and just
like double check. It's not gonna be there. It's
not gonna be there. It's not there. Stupid. I
see it's stupid. I'm telling if you agree with
me that Pikachu had the black end of his tail,
then I need you to throw up all your hands and
all your comments. And I don't know. We need
to do something about this guys. Yeah. Okay,
so this is the one from the Wizard of Oz. Okay.
Apparently, do you, well let me ask you first.
Do you remember what the Wicked Witch says when
she sends her flying monkeys after Dorothy? Um,
no. Do you remember her saying, fly my pretties,
fly? Possibly. Okay, well a lot of people remember
that. Okay. But apparently, that's not what happened.
Apparently she shouts, she just shouts, fly,
fly, fly! for my pretties. I feel like I do too!
I mean, I don't know if maybe she called them
that at some other point, but... Maybe. Maybe
we're just mixing two things that she has said.
Maybe, but... I don't know, I feel like Elphaba
wouldn't say that. Okay, this is the one that
I really want to talk about that is very close
to all of us 90s kids' hearts, I think. Okay.
So there's a theory that there was a film called
Shazam that starred Sinbad, the comedian. as
a genie right right apparently that didn't exist
that doesn't fucking exist uh -huh and i want
to file some sort of lawsuit over this because
it did i remember this movie and everybody's
go -to excuse is that oh no you're thinking of
the movie kazam with shakil o 'neil playing a
genie yes i remember that movie i also remember
the one with sinbad and so does a lot of other
people Hmm, what the fuck do you remember this?
No, did you heard this before though? I have
heard this before okay, but I never watched that
movie I'm telling you I know I also never watched
the one with Shaquille O 'Neal. I watched them
both so Several people can attest this is from
good housekeeping Does anyone like have the original
VHS? I don't know I've tried to look into it
and like it's so hard to tell on the internet
because a lot of things get Photoshopped like
a lot of people thought they busted fruit of
the loom because of the cornucopia because they
were like well what about this old tag that I
have from 1999 it has the cornucopia it was photoshopped
so I don't know um anyways this says several
people can attest that they distinctly remember
seeing the comedian in a movie called Shazam
many say they're confusing it with Kazam but
who really knows but like come the I remember
that movie and I just want to understand I just
want to know why why we're all being lied to
The only movie I remember with Sinbad is Jingle
All the Way. That makes perfect sense for you.
Okay, this is one I actually did not know. Okay.
I've never heard this before, but then once I
looked into it. You remember the music video?
Oops, I did it again. Yes. By Britney Spears
Queen. You remember when she has like the red
jumpsuit thingy on? Yes. Is she wearing a little
headset? Yes. No, she isn't. Yes, she is. No,
she isn't. Another Mandela effect has to do with
Britney Spears. Many can distinctly remember
Britney wearing a microphone headset in the video.
Her doll that has the, like they made a Barbie
doll. It has a headset! Yeah, it has the headset,
but she never wore one in the music video. She
did. And I went back and watched it, and she
doesn't now. They can edit it! I think they did.
You can edit it! I think they did. But like,
why would they sell the doll with the headset?
Right. And if she wasn't wearing a headset. Like
what's the point of that? And everybody wore
those headsets in the 90s in the early 2000s.
Like that was a commonplace thing to wear. Correct.
So what? She wore a headset. I think so, too.
They're fucking with us. That one really pissed
me off. Almost as much as the Febreze one picks
me up. Oh, this is the last one. This is the
last one that I wanted to really talk about that
we didn't get to last time. OK, do you remember
the Queen song? we are the champions yes right
we are the champions my friends yeah so at the
end of the song keep on fighting till the end
i can just wait for you to get to the end of
the song keep going we are the champions we are
the champions no time for losers as we are the
champions of the world yeah everybody if you
sing this song anywhere karaoke and like a bar
setting whatever people say of the world apparently
that didn't happen I want someone to give me
the OG CD yeah well we used to have I swear God
and I mean I might not we had a DVD set that
I think one of my aunts got my dad as a gift
one year of one of Queen's biggest concerts ever
because my dad was a big Queen fan and I swear
to God I remember watching that footage of the
concert back in the early 80s maybe and him singing
We Are The Champions and it ending with everyone
saying of the world I bet if the timeline shifts
are real Bet that if I found that DVD somehow
and watch it again, it would be gone now but
I'm telling you it was there and my best compelling
not proof, but kind of proof is Do you remember
that a carpool karaoke thing that was really
popular with with what's -his -face cordon? Yeah,
so he had an episode and it's like Gwen Stefani
and like Don't know George Clooney and like Julia
Roberts. It's a real mishmash of people different
ages all different whatever and they're singing
We are the champions and they all go together
of the world in the car But the tape is not the
tape you the song is cut off and they're like,
wait a minute. What what the heck? I thought
it was It's happening in real -time professional
musicians even. Oh, man. I wish she was alive
to tell us No, they're like all alive. Why can't
they say anything? I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know. Come out and tell us. You know
who should tell us? Adam Lambert. Because he's
the new singer for Queen. Yeah. And he's he works
directly with the original band. And I'm sure
he's seen the archival footage. Adam Lambert,
if you're listening to this, you have a moral
responsibility to tell us that we're right. And
if somehow we're all wrong, please keep that
to yourself. I don't want to know why they haven't
spoken up. But yeah, those are some new Mandela
effects. But the end of that song doesn't even
make sense without of the world. Yeah, it just
fucking ends? Yeah, he just, we are the champions.
Cause we are the champions. End of song. I don't
think so. I don't think so. Bullshit, I told
you it feels wrong. It's wrong. I'm telling you
it's wrong. It's wrong. It's wrong. It's wrong
It's wrong. It's wrong. I want to go back to
the timeline I want to slither back into a black
hole where Pikachu has the right tail we can
sing of the world There's a cornucopia and fruit
of the loom for breeze is fucking correct. I'm
I'm sick of this I'm sick of this shit. I'm sick
of being lied to this is official video Look
how old this video is. I know this is OG. I know
What do you mean? What do you mean? You just
ruined my life! I didn't do it! You did because
I didn't even know! It was the Mandela effect.
Ruining lives once again. I found this. This
is a live concert that someone filmed in whatever
he's... Does it say what year it is? No, this
was uploaded seven years ago. Okay, I don't know
if I'm the captain. And that's Freddie Mercury.
Okay, and he said of the world so they're saying
I guess that that the Mandela effect is that
that was never in the recording Why would you
just ad -lib that once and never do it again?
But the rest of us know that come the fuck on
maybe maybe they didn't do it in the recording
But then he just like got so like into it like
every time I say she didn't try to tell us that
we're live That we're just lying to ourselves
on Mandela effect. He really did sing them. Yes.
He did. We just proved anybody wrong Yeah, a
lot of people even remember it being on there
like on the CDs on their tapes of it as saying
of the world. But there are several instances
just like the one we found where Freddie Mercury
did it live. So I just have a hard time believing
that he would only do it live and that it was
like never a real part of the song. If anyone
has an old like album, yeah, please hit us up.
You fool me once shame on me. Fool me twice shame
on you. And reverse it. Well, we hope you guys
have enjoyed this season premiere again bringing
back a fave. This is the season of bringing back
our faves and millennial conspiracy theories.
That's my fave, I don't know about you guys.
We get passionate. We really we love this stuff.
So if you want to hear us do this again, maybe
we won't wait six seasons next time. And tell
us which ones you totally believe, which ones
you're like, you guys are idiots, absolutely
not. Which ones we missed? Which Mandela effects
piss you off the most? Right now? Right now?
Well, obviously, I fixed it. But Pikachu, I think,
is the second thing that makes me really mad.
When I get home, I'm going to try and find my
Pokemon cards. Yeah. All right. Well, stay tuned.
One more reason to keep listening all season
long. We are back, baby. Back, baby. Hell yeah.
And we got a lot of exciting stuff. I'm Clarissa.
I'm Courtney. And we're going to piece on out
of here. That's no conspiracy theory that we'll
be back next week. Yep, you'll on 30 Thursdays.
30 Thursdays. Okay bye!
