In this mind-bending episode, Mandy puts Eric’s memory to the test with some of the most famous Mandela Effect examples, from movie quotes and brand logos to childhood classics we were sure we knew by heart. Is it Berenstain or Berenstein? Did Darth Vader really say, “Luke, I am your father”? And how did an entire generation remember Mandela’s fate incorrectly?
Together, we dive into why so many people confidently recall the same wrong details, what this says about how our brains store memories, and whether there’s anything more mysterious going on. Join us for laughs, light conspiracy talk, and a fun challenge to your own recollections. Get ready, you may never trust your memory the same way again!

Along the way, we dip into a few other internet buzzwords, like what it really means to be “obsessed,” when something “triggers” us, and why “boundaries” have become the word of the year. It’s light, funny, and maybe a little too relatable.
