Starting point is 00:00:20 the Mandela effect, this idea that societies, groups of people, not just one person, can have a false memory that everyone believes is true. A fascinating fascinating thing that really happens to people.
Starting point is 00:00:33 And we have a bunch of examples that you're probably not going to even believe. We do have more on global warming today. The environment, the apocalypse is on. Everyone's warning. We have about three and a half minutes. About three and a half minutes left before global warming kills us. Yeah, probably before you get through this first segment. Yeah, it'll be dead.

Here's the podcast. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
Starting point is 00:01:51 This is your house? You know, like the Google Home or Google Nest. You have the nest, right? I have all this crap. I'm not. I do not hold the line in this way. And you saw the convenience is. The most recent thing about these devices. They're recording everything you do. You know, that is probably definitely true. But I also want to be able to walk into a room and say, play a song, please.
Starting point is 00:02:20 Yes. Please play. What weather is. That's as much effort as I want to put into it. It's so bad. It happened so fast too. It did. It did.
Starting point is 00:02:30 It really does. But it is awesome when you can say, and I won't say the name of the product. I'll just Amazon thing. Play my playlist. Playing playlist. And there it is. I love that. You don't have to walk over to it.
Starting point is 00:02:44 You just tell it what to do and it does it. It's remarkable. Turn up volume. And it turns up the volume. I love that. Look, you could get into this, this, you know, reminiscing into old-timey things in a lot of ways. And it's easy to do these days. But like, I remember, like, driving around the state to, you know, quote unquote record
Starting point is 00:03:08 stores. where they had, you know, really more CDs at that time. And just looking for like a rare thing that I wanted, some weird remix or B-side or whatever it was, driving hours to go to these stores that were like specialty stores to find things that I wanted to listen to songs. And now everything you could possibly want is available basically for free, whatever you want with no effort.
Starting point is 00:03:35 And I can't. This little round thing right in front of you in your kitchen or living room or wherever it is. me right now the same person who drove around the state. Now like me unlocking my phone and typing it in is way too much. It's too much. It's too much. It's way too much. It's got to be able to just shout it across the room and it happens. Right.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Like I know. At one point I have, um, I got one of these Amazon devices that is the tap. You know, they have all these different versions. They have the echo and they have, uh, you know, there's, there's all, there's the little tiny one. I don't know what that one's called, but they all different versions of it. And there's one called the tap that they release. I don't know if they still sell it or not. But this is the one that you don't yell to, basically. I think you can set it up to say, hey, Amazon device, play the song. But basically what it's designed to do is there's a button on it.
Starting point is 00:04:26 You press the button and you say, hey, Amazon device, you know, do the thing, right? Like, play the song, just tell me the weather or whatever. And I think a couple of things it was designed for. It was, you know, but the main thing that you think of from a perspective of, like, privacy was it's not on until you press the button. Like the theory was, now, of course, you know, of course it's probably recording me the whole time anyway. But the theory was it was an appeal to people who didn't want this thing on all the time available. You could say that to command 100,000 times in a row wouldn't do anything unless you press this button. But of course, it's too hard to go over and press the button. It's, you don't want to do that.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Every time like, oh, it's way inconvenient. Three steps. I got to get up out of a chair and do it? No. And then I got to hit the thing. And like, you know, when you're listening, you're in the middle, you have the thing playing a playlist. You're in the middle of doing something else. And you want to skip some crappy song that has come on.
Starting point is 00:05:16 You got to walk over to it? That's ridiculous. It's infuriating. It's one of the worst things that's ever happened to be. It's outrageous. It's outrageous that you'd have to do that. So bad. And of course it is.
Starting point is 00:05:27 And these are devices we didn't have access to until just recently. These are pretty recent innovations. And each one of them, I make fun. of as if they're the most ridiculous thing that's ever happened. Like when I have, when I got the fingerprint thing on my phone, I remember thinking, what, what person can't spend the time to type the four digits into their phone and unlock it? What weird, what, you know, person from, you know, what from Wally, it was this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:58 And then it was me in about five minutes. And then now I can't imagine using my fingerprint. I'll now it's just facial recognition and it would be completely ridiculous for me to ever have to use my fingerprint again. It's like 1800s technology to me.
Starting point is 00:06:15 And what does it save me? One 80th of a second? Probably. But that's, I can't, I can't even comprehend it. Yeah. How dare they ask me to put my finger on the phone? And as far as listening to a playlist
Starting point is 00:06:27 instead of, I don't know, putting in a CD, when was the last time you put a CD into anything? I mean, CDs were just fairly recently state of the art innovation. And now it's like a CD, what's that for? What's I don't even, I don't remember. I vaguely remember these round things that you put into a slot. But I can't imagine having to go through that painstaking process.
Starting point is 00:06:54 I will say they're my, I have an older car. And it's almost 10 years old now. Oh, my goodness. So it is, I mean, this is. you know, it's, the technology in 10 years changes a freaking lot, Pat. I mean, like it has, my car does not have the ability to turn on Bluetooth and connect to my phone so I can play songs in my car. Oh, it doesn't?
Starting point is 00:07:17 No. It was 2012, I think. So, I mean, the technology existed. It was in some cars, but it wasn't in all cars. And mine's one of them. It wasn't in. So I have to, like, plug in a little wire every time I get into my car. I mean, and this is like, what are you a Luddite?
Starting point is 00:07:32 Pretty much. Are you anti- science and technology. Is that what you are? I'm pretty much churning butter. You should live in Western Pennsylvania. It's true. It's how I feel. And it's funny because like that process is still a little clunky, right? You got to connect to Bluetooth or you've got to plug your phone in and you're on it.
Starting point is 00:07:56 But like now they have the Apple car play, which is on. Yeah. My wife has a car with an Apple Apple car play. She plugs the thing in and it looks so nice. It's on the screen. It comes up perfectly. All the apps from the phone come up. It looks all pretty.
Starting point is 00:08:07 It's all integrated. And, you know, but for a while, that's the only time I would say that the CDs were used. One of her last cars didn't have all those fancy features and it had a CD player. And she got so annoyed at trying to get her phone connected and it would lose the connection and all that stuff that she just started buying the CDs. And it was, but like I don't even, I went to, um, it's funny because we have a, uh, we were talking, we were going on a long drive and I was thinking to myself, we need to get like a movie or something for these kids. because they're just, you know, they're at that point.
Starting point is 00:08:36 I have two kids. They're 18 months apart. And typically they're really good together. But at times, they get on each other's nerves a tad. And on a long drive, that's when it's going to happen, you know. So I'm like, we've got to get these kids a movie or something. I think we got a DVD player or whatever. Let's just like put this thing in there. So we went to Walmart or Target or something to try to find DVDs.
Starting point is 00:08:56 The section for DVDs now is like it's smaller than like your locker at high school. Like it's like there's four DVDs. have two copies each. Like that it's funny like obviously like you know, what's the things that are outside of like Walgreens, the red, um, oh yeah, red box. Red box. Yeah. Red box.
Starting point is 00:09:17 They're all over the country. There's still, people are still renting them. But the DVD market is, you know, now you're just downloading these movies. This is the whole game stop controversy, right? When that was going through the roof, everyone's like, well, no one buys physical games anymore. How can this company possibly be going up to 120? $200 and $300 a share. Right.
Starting point is 00:09:36 It really, all that stuff has just been replaced. So fast too. So quickly. I don't think, you know, Glenn has been on this kick for a long time that he always tries to resist this stuff for a while. And like, I want all, how many times does he say this? I want all this stuff out of my house. I don't even want to be on the internet.
Starting point is 00:09:54 I don't want the internet. I want all the iPads out of the house. Hold on. No satellite TV. Yeah. Well, that my children know about, but I'm going to have access to it, of course. and then they'll find out and so will they. And he always wants to get rid of all of his devices.
Starting point is 00:10:11 With the possible exception of the iPad that is continually attached to his hands at all times. Yeah. So is mine. I carry that thing with me wherever I go. And I don't do the iPad thing, but I do have... Carry your phone. And you try to resist this stuff from this idea that you're just going to get rid of it. And it's really just not possible.
Starting point is 00:10:32 And we do not have the capacity. And it's weird because we did have the capacity. Yes, we've lost it. Not to carry stuff around with us wherever we go, like a little blankie when we're, you know, two years old and we have a favorite blanket. That's what my iPad is to me. I can't go anywhere or do anything without it. If I accidentally forget it for a second, I'm like, oh my God. Am I naked?
Starting point is 00:10:55 No, where's my iPad? Has anybody seen my iPad? Where is it? It's just ridiculous. So now these... But now, yeah, these devices are listening to everything we do. And apparently not when you just say, hey, Google thing or Amazon thing, turn on. They're apparently always recording.
Starting point is 00:11:20 I mean, and we found that out a couple of years ago and they were like, oh, yeah, but that's just, we're learning. That's just to listen to conversations so that we can teach language. to these devices. Uh-huh. Yeah. So they're apparently still doing it, and it just stores it and keeps it. And there's going to be a lot of people who say, well, I don't care. I ain't doing nothing wrong in my home.
Starting point is 00:11:45 There you're going to be bored to death to hear what I have to say. Man, you're not the one who decides if what you're doing is wrong or not. That's the thing. Yeah. It's interesting, too, if you have one of these Amazon ones, I know, in particular, you can go into the app and hear all the things it's recorded. like you could go in and like here. Oh, you can? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:05 Like you can. Have you ever done that? Yeah. It's just, you know, it's kind of funny because I, you know, my kids will say things to it. They're really funny because it just, they just, they just, they just ask, like, you know, we know, how old is, is, is Bob? Because they know someone named Bob and they just, they just assume Alex is going to answer all of their questions. Like, legitimately, like, they, they have this idea that like, if sometimes you'll be in the conversation, let me just ask Alex, Alexa. And you're like, first of all, Alexa's not going to answer that question.
Starting point is 00:12:34 That's not how Alexa works. Secondly, why do you think Alexa's smarter than I am? Why don't you? I'm your dad. You're supposed to at least until 12 think I'm smart. And there's a rule. Yeah. And apparently, but they know better already.
Starting point is 00:12:47 But it is, you see it in them. Like they just like that, well, there's a solution. It's right there. That little thing that lights up. But occasionally they ask really funny and cute questions and that's what got me started on it. But you can go back. And you do realize that a lot of times it is, they're not intention.
Starting point is 00:13:01 You'll just hear them just talking in the background. I don't know why it's turned on. You know, maybe there was a word with an X in it, you know, that they said or a KS. And that sounds a little bit like the name of the Amazon device that we are not saying so that we don't alert everybody's, um, uh, and turn it on. And we could order stuff on your prime account if we wanted to right now, but we will not do that because we're nice. But it is one of those things that it turns, it changes so. so fast and you don't even realize that you what has happened. I mean, there's just
Starting point is 00:13:35 recording devices all over my house. Right. All over my house. And the things that you wouldn't expect. Like the Amazon device and the Google device, you'd think, okay, yeah, well, I can see where that might do it. But the Google Nest, that's recording us too. They've got microphones in the Google Nest. That's your thermostat
Starting point is 00:13:51 control. Why? Why? Why is that listening to me? Why is that recording me? Why is that keeping you don't, I don't talk to it. So why would you need to learn from my language on the Google Nest. It's bizarre. It's bizarre.
Starting point is 00:14:07 They also have, the Nest has these, these, smoke detectors. And they, I have, this has been one of the most annoying, the thing that has annoyed me
Starting point is 00:14:18 more than anything about the United States of America is basically the fact that these stupid smoke detectors beep and I can't tell which one it is. And I want to have to change the batteries. It's the bane of my existence. It drives me crazy. you'll take the battery out. It'll keep beeping.
Starting point is 00:14:33 This is not physically possible. What do I have to take a shotgun to this thing? How do I stop it? They bend the laws of science. They do. There is no battery and it is not plugged in and it continues to run like a chicken with its head cut off. Bizarre. And so I hate these things so much.
Starting point is 00:14:49 Me too. The Nest has them. And of course with the Nest, they'll tell you which one is low on batteries on the app. And I don't care if it just continually is taking pictures. pictures of me naked and posting them on the internet. If it will tell me what battery is low and where I go to change it, I will put them all in my house. I don't care if it's continually making videos of me on the toilet and posting them to...
Starting point is 00:15:18 I do. I care. To the New York Times website directly. The rest of us care. We care for you. And so we're going to say no. Okay. Well, that particular thing, maybe not.
Starting point is 00:15:29 But pretty close. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Wow. This is serious. I mean, if you haven't been taking climate change seriously until now, I certainly hope this will change your attitude on it. Yeah, it's, this is chilling. Brian Stelter had David Wallace Wells on.
Starting point is 00:16:02 And when you have a hyphenated last name like that, you know they're a serious person. They're a real expert. you're an assassin. Or that. Yeah, there's two things with the three names. You can either be a very serious person or an assassin. Or lately you're in the National Football League.
Starting point is 00:16:16 There's a lot of hyphenated names. So, yeah. So David Wallace Wells is quoting estimates that suggest burning of fossil fuels kills 10 million people every year. Which, which of course, as he mentioned,
Starting point is 00:16:37 is dying on the scale of the Holocaust. How do these people get away with us? I don't know. Where's the ADL on this? Where? Where? Because we, I mean, when Glenn was defending people in Israel and would mention something
Starting point is 00:16:58 about Nazis or what to compare what's going on now to what, you know, that we're on the same road or you got to be careful, they would call him out every single time. Yeah. Now, if his climate, it's okay, I guess. Yeah, it's fine. And he says, and yet we don't see many public health stories. We don't see many moral crisis stories addressed to that issue. We don't?
Starting point is 00:17:20 Are you blind? That's all we see. And by the way, is there any thought? I don't know. I don't have an answer to this, Pat. I'm not a scientist. But do we think that fossil fuels have done anything to help people stay alive? Is there another side to this equation?
Starting point is 00:17:37 And let's not even bother attacking the ridiculous claim that a fossil fuels killed 10 million people a year. I'm quite certain that fossil fuels help maintain the lives of way more than one million people a year. What would happen? Go back in time to the pre-fossil era and tell me, in fact, we don't have to go back in time. You can find it in billions of people's lives all across the globe right now who are burning things like dried dung inside their home. to cook their food. And that's not good? No, many of them are dying.
Starting point is 00:18:12 It's one of the largest... From dry dung deaths? And wood and biomass inside their homes. It's killing more people than almost anything in the world. So, but let's criticize fossil fuels. Ridiculous. Who have eliminated that problem for multiple billions of people. Stelter began this by saying that meteorologists and journalists are running out of words
Starting point is 00:18:36 and ways to describe the impact of climate change. They are. Unprecedented just doesn't cut it anymore. Nor does invisible. It's true because this is the problem with an issue like global warming if you're an alarmist. You make alarmist claims and you have to say they're coming soon or no one cares, right? Because people are, you know, it's just the human instinct, right? If you say 500 years from now, this could happen.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Yeah. Right. So you can't say it like that. You have to say it's within some sort of time frame and you can't say it's tomorrow because everyone will know it didn't happen. Right. So you say it's out in the future and feel like you won't have to pay the price when you're wrong in the future.
Starting point is 00:19:18 Although this is in the present. He is claiming and it's hard to track this down because how do you track down the 10 million people die every year from climate change? Where are you getting that stat? Where is that coming from? Yeah. Who made that estimate? And based on what?
Starting point is 00:19:36 This is another example of how they do it in the climate, but often you'll hear estimates of how many people will die in heat waves because of the climate. Climate change is coming, going to kill people in heat waves. What, of course, is always left out of this equation is the fact that far more people die from cold than they do from heat. Oh, by far. So if you're just talking about heat deaths, those are way outweighed by people who are not dying from cold. Yeah. Right.
Starting point is 00:20:04 So, and this has been, this is in all. all the UN IPCC documentation, this is not something I'm making up. This is something the scientists say all the time. That for certainly a long period of time, the cold deaths avoided will far outweigh the new deaths caused by heat. But if you go on Brian Stelter show or any CNN show and say, just say the heat number,
Starting point is 00:20:28 no one's going to question it. No one's going to mention the other side of the equation. I mean, how can, how can any, coherent person not see that fossil fuels are one of the
Starting point is 00:20:42 things that have brought us modern civilization. The fact that we've gone from we've doubled our life expectancy over the past a hundred to a couple hundred years. If there's one thing you'd point to, you might point to fossil fuels as the difference
Starting point is 00:20:58 in between us doubling our life expectancy. There's been other things and those things are important as well. But fossil fuels are a huge piece of this. Even if you accept the ridiculous claim that fossil fuels are killing 10 million people a year, it would still be worth it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:17 Oh, well, yeah. Because we've added billions of people. And by the way, look at the people who are arguing against that. The people who didn't want it to happen are the same people who are now telling you that fossil fuels are killing 10 million people a year. The people who didn't want the extra billions of people on the planet. They kept telling you we'd all die if they came. And here we are. You know, this has been, we've been able to feed all of them against all of their advice.
Starting point is 00:21:44 We've been able to extend life against all of their advice and warning. And when these claims come up later on, no one holds them accountable. When they are wrong, it's left to us talk radio on Earth Day to bring out all their wrong quotes from 20 years ago. or 30 years ago or 10 years ago. And that is a, it's in an unbelievable situation. It's great work if you can find it. Because you can make all these spectacular claims, raise all your money, and never have to answer for when you're wrong, ever.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Right. Right. And if I may, just add one little addendum to the fossil fuel thing. I don't believe they are fossil fuels. Oh, yeah, this is a big Pat, Pat Gray position. Yes. My theory, uh, that, that oil, uh, is a recurring natural goo. in the earth. The scientific term is recurring natural goo.
Starting point is 00:22:41 There are some scientists who believe this. They're always obviously referred to as fossil fuels. The idea they come from fossils from long ago. But you've stood on this for a while and there are scientists who believe it. The first time they started talking about peak oil was in 1920. Yeah, we're right up on peak oil here. It's about to run out. Okay, well, that didn't happen because we found way more reserves.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Then it was the 40s. Oh, we're coming right up on peak oil again. There's not going to be any. We better find something else. And then they found more. And then in the 60s, oh, it's coming right up on peak oil. And peak oil, look it up. It's been over and over and over and over.
Starting point is 00:23:22 And now it's just to the point where we found so much that we are now, we now have more oil and gas reserves than any country on earth. And the peak oil thing is very similar to the environmental thing. It's they continually warn about all these terrible things that are going to happen. They don't happen. And then they just say, well, now we know better. Those, those, if you call, if you actually get into a conversation with an environmentalist and you bring up the quotes from the 70s, 80s, the 90s, when they're totally wrong.
Starting point is 00:23:51 They will just say, well, yeah, but I mean, it's been 20 years. We've learned a lot since then. It's like, but yeah, but then you never have to pay a price for your wrong statements. Yeah, right. Do you understand that you set up a system in which only you can. can tell us that you're wrong. Remember when you said Britain was going to be gone like underwater by 2000? Yeah, that didn't happen.
Starting point is 00:24:11 If I'm not mistaken, Britain is still there. Remember when you said the West Side Highway in New York City is going to be gone completely underwater? The people are driving on it today right now. Exactly. Let me give you this one. This is from the New York Times in 1995. They say, quote, at the most likely rate of rise, some experts say,
Starting point is 00:24:34 most of the beaches on the east coast of the United States would be gone in 25 years. That would be 2020. Now, if you're on the east coast, perhaps you could do some reporting for us today. Are there beaches there? Do beaches exist on the east coast of America? My understanding is that they do. I was in on the east coast at a beach in 2020. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:24:59 And it was still there. Now, I don't know. Maybe they just got it off by year and they've disappeared the last couple of months. I've been there. But my understanding is that beaches still exist on the east coast of the United States. No one, the New York Times doesn't write a follow up about this story. They don't come back later on and say, by the way, do you believe we wrote this thing 25 years ago?
Starting point is 00:25:19 Isn't this funny? Like they do with the internet. Occasionally you'll see this like, they'll be like, look at our stupid article from 1991 about the internet and how it won't be, it won't make any difference, right? Like they'll come back and revisit. They don't do that with climate. They only do it to exceed. excuse the reasons why they were actually right all of this time.
Starting point is 00:25:38 And actually, it's worse than they even said back then. Let me give you another one of more recent. All right. Do we have time for this? Yeah. Okay. So what was the panic before COVID? Can you remember the panic that occurred before COVID?
Starting point is 00:25:55 It's hard to remember this panic because there should have been a lot of panicking during COVID. But before COVID, one of the more recent panics was in the same. summer of 2000, between 2019 and 2020, where Australia was on fire. Yeah. Do you remember this? This was the big thing. Australia is on fire. The whole country is burning down.
Starting point is 00:26:16 It's because of global warming. No one's ever seen anything like this. There were fundraisers on television like crazy. No one had ever seen such a terrible thing happened to Australia. And it's all because you're driving an SUV. So now, months and months later, we have the. actual data from the Australian fires. Now you can understand why maybe people aren't focusing on that with all this COVID going
Starting point is 00:26:40 around, but it's important to revisit these things when we get the data. So during the 20th century, about every year in Australia, about 10% of the surface area catches on fire. Every year. Yes. Throughout the 20th century, that's average, about 10%. Now, we are told, of course, that global warming is going to make this much, much worse. Obviously.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Well, in the 21st century, so far, the number has been, instead of 10, 6. So it's gone from 10% to 6%. It's fallen by 40% in the 21st century. Now, we are told that global warming is going to make these things much, much worse. Now, obviously, 2019 and 2020 was a terrible year, as we know. This is the year that it was really, really bad and worse than ever before. 98%. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:27 And it wasn't 10%, wasn't 6%. In 2019, somewhere in there. No. No. 3.95% of the country burned. It was one of the lowest percentages on record in history. We have the chart up here if you happen to be watching blazeTV.com slash Glenn. Promocco is Glenn, by the way, if we want to save some cash.
Starting point is 00:27:48 But basically we're showing the actual amount of it falling from about 10, 11, 12% in the early part of the 20th century down to 3.95%. Incredible. Now. Now climatologists do say that there will be. be an increase in these fires, whether they're right or not, who knows. But if you see, Pat, if you can see, they had the line here a second ago with the yellow line on the chart. You see the yellow line is the predictions of what's coming in the future. Now, the past is a giant decrease from these really high levels down to 3.95%. And basically what the climate, all the
Starting point is 00:28:26 climate models are predicting are for it to rise slightly from this really low period in history. So basically what they're saying is instead of it being 4% or 5% like it is now, it may go up to 6%. But 6% is still half of what it used to be. And then of course doesn't include all of the innovations and things we will learn to fight the fires and lower the overall burn. Long story short is that these things are presented as catastrophes and they're not even back to half as bad as it used to be. the only difference between the fires in Australia in 2019 and 2020 is they occurred closer to where people lived. They're started by lightning and that lightning hit areas that were closer to where people lived. So they noticed them more.
Starting point is 00:29:16 And lightning only happens because of climate change. No. Lightning didn't happen in the past, right? No. No? Not true. By the way, the global, do we have the, yeah, this is a global area burn from 1901 to 1920. Same story, right, Pat?
Starting point is 00:29:30 I mean, you see the drop is dramatic. Huge. It's been dropping much faster since 2000. And this is all the opposite of what they told us what happened with climate change. That's unbelievable. The best of the Glenn Beck program. There is something called the Mandela effect. And it has to do with Nelson Mandela and people believing that he died in prison, which didn't happen.
Starting point is 00:30:02 No. He actually got out of prison and became pretty prominent for some time before he died. He died in 2013, free man. Yeah, you might remember. That's where Barack Obama hit on the leader of, was it the Netherlands? Yeah, I think the female leader of the Netherlands. And Michelle was not happy with that arrangement. Not happy.
Starting point is 00:30:24 They seemed to be laughing and having a great time and flirting together. And Michelle was, yeah. Not thrilled. Visibly unhappy. I do remember that video now that you say it. Now that you say it. Yeah. So this is idea that basically like society can create a false memory and things and people will believe.
Starting point is 00:30:46 And like it's a mass false memory too. Not just like a few people, but everybody believes it. Everybody believes it. So there's some examples of it. It are pretty interesting. The Mandela effect was the belief, as you mentioned, that he died in prison, which I never thought. but I guess a lot of people did. However, this one I could probably
Starting point is 00:31:04 probably be affected by. For example, what does Darth Vader say when he's talking about being the father of Luke Skywalker? Luke, I am your father. Right. A hundred percent, right? That is definitely what he says, except for the fact that's not what he says.
Starting point is 00:31:25 He says actually in the movie, no, I am your father. he's answering it right because Luke says to him you killed my father you're like Luke you don't know what happened to your father you killed my father
Starting point is 00:31:42 no I am your father right right excellent by the excellent recreation there that was amazing but yeah I would have totally said Luke I am your father I would too
Starting point is 00:31:55 and bet money on it that I was sure yes so there's a bunch of examples of that that's one of them That one I would have definitely gotten wrong. How about this one? Monopoly, the game of monopoly. Does the Monopoly man have a monocle? Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:12 Absolutely. No, he does not. The Monopoly guy does not have a monocle? He does not have a monocle. He's never had a monocle. Is he holding it in his hand? No. He's holding money bags in his hand.
Starting point is 00:32:24 Okay. So he doesn't have it in his eye and it's not in his hand. No. The belief is that people... That's really weird. are conflating the Monopoly guy and Mr. Peanut. Now, Mr. Peanut does have a monocle. Those are two very different characters, actually.
Starting point is 00:32:42 I don't think I've ever conflated the two. I'm pretty sure the Monopoly Man is not made of peanuts. That's one I am sure. Yes. Well, that's an interesting one. That is. Okay, here's another one. This one I probably got wrong to.
Starting point is 00:32:56 If you think back to your childhood, you're making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. made me a peanut butter jelly sandwich for your kids. And you break out the jiffy peanut butter. Yes. I would think it's jiffy. Yeah. No.
Starting point is 00:33:12 But I know it's not because we went through this on my show a couple of weeks ago. It just came up. And I'm like, did Jif used to be called Jiffy? It was like, no. It's never been jiffy peanut butter. It's always been Jif. Yes. So there is a Jif peanut butter.
Starting point is 00:33:28 And there was also a Skippy peanut butter. And there was also a Skippy peanut butter. butter, but there has never been a jiffy peanut butter. Someone out there should create a jiffy peanut butter. Yes. Right? It'd be successful. It would be huge.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Everyone would think that was the one they'd been buying since they were a kid, but no, there's no such thing. Really weird. Okay, another movie one here. Now, I don't know how much you were a fan of silence of the lambs. Probably not that much, but it was a huge movie, obviously. And if you've never seen the movie, you probably know one thing about it. When she walks into, in front of the cell door there, he says,
Starting point is 00:34:00 Hello, Clarice. It's like a very famous thing. Okay, yeah. He doesn't say hello Clarice in the movie. He actually just says good morning. Really? Because that's what everybody says. Yes.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Now he says Clarice. Hello, Clarice. Yes. He says Clarice in that voice many times. But he only says, good morning. He never says, hello, Clarice. That is weird. Okay. Fruit of the Loom.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Yeah. Okay. Underware. Right. You've got the symbol. of fruit of the loom. Can you picture it in your head? Mm-hmm. Now, I would have pictured in my head as a bunch of fruit kind of spilling out of a cornucopia type of thing, right? Yes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:41 The fruit has never spilled out of a basket. It does not come out of a basket. It is literally just a pile of food. Really? Yeah, which is a weird thing to put on your underwear. That is weird. It's strange to put food. I mean, I almost want it in a basket, so it would be protected. But no, it's just food. Yeah, why are we associating food? with the under, I guess, obviously, fruit. And it's fruit of the loom. It is. And so.
Starting point is 00:35:07 So there you go. There you go. Still. Okay. This one I didn't remember. Mona Lisa. When you look at the thing of the Mona Lisa in your head. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:16 Is the Mona Lisa smiling? Is the Mona Lisa frowning? What is the Mona Lisa doing? I think she's smiling. Like a little smirk. That's exactly right. She has a little bit of smirk. Most people remember this as her frowning a little bit.
Starting point is 00:35:32 It's a Dower Times in that painting, so I can understand maybe why you'd conceptually put that, but that's not true. Do you remember Ed McMahon? Yes. Back in the day, he's showing up on doorsteps. He's giving people oversized checks and balloons.
Starting point is 00:35:45 I love this one too, because this I've stumbled on to as well. For the publisher's clearinghouse sweepstakes. He never worked for publishers clearinghouse. Right? It's incredible. It is incredible. When I first saw this, I didn't believe it.
Starting point is 00:36:00 I know. In fact, I went. Back to all the videos because I didn't believe it. I'm like, yes, he did. Yes, he did. Publishers clearing house. He did. No, he did not.
Starting point is 00:36:07 No, he did not. McMahon never made any house calls. First of all, he never went to a house. He just endorsed a separate entity called American family, family publishers. It's crazy. They are similar entities, but again, never. Doesn't it tell you what a terrible job he did representing that country? That company, when everybody thinks he was for their competitor.
Starting point is 00:36:28 Right. It's weird. That is very weird. He sucked. They shouldn't have paid him a dime for that. I'm sorry if you're, you know, a recipient of the estate of Ed McMahon, but you shouldn't get a penny. Well, I mean, it's very memorable commercials. You just don't remember what they were for.
Starting point is 00:36:43 Apparently, you think they were for the competition, which is weird. Very. It really would be weird if, you know, later on people were like, I remember that Roddle McDonald, but he was the Burger King guy. That would be weird. Would. Okay, Barretstein Bears. You know them. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:36:58 Can you, do you know how to spell the last name? the name of the bear Like Berenstein S-T-E-I-N Right That's what I would have said I would have bet my life on it I read these books as a kid
Starting point is 00:37:11 The correct pronunciation And has always been The correct spelling, excuse me B-E-R-E-N-S-T-A-N Oh it's Berenstain Yeah, it's always been Berenstain, it's named after the authors Whose last name is Berenstain
Starting point is 00:37:24 It's never been Berenstine Bears Ever Yet I would have bet my life on it Uh-huh C3PO. What color is C3PO? Gold. Gold. 100% gold, right?
Starting point is 00:37:40 Yeah. The lower portion of his right leg below the knee was silver when you first see him in the movie. And it's a fact that sometimes surprises people who have seen the original trilogy dozens of times, according to mental flaws. Really weird. Amazing. Risky business. 1983, Tom Cruise. He slides out.
Starting point is 00:37:59 He's in his underwear. Yes. He's dancing in his sunglasses. Uh-huh. except he's not wearing sunglasses. That's from a different part of the, it's like from the movie poster. He's wearing sunglasses.
Starting point is 00:38:09 He's not wearing sunglasses in the famous scene of that movie, though everyone seems to think that he is. And this is probably the most common one cited, which is this Shazam the movie. Shazam the movie starring Sinbad as a genie for kids. Except for the fact that that movie never existed. There's never been a movie named Shazam with Sinbad. in it.
Starting point is 00:38:33 There is a movie named Kazam with Shaq in it. Really? Yeah, is that weird? Really? I totally would have thought that was a movie.
Starting point is 00:38:40 Shazam. Yeah. I could picture him in the unit. Like I could picture it. I was with you. Until you brought up the Shack thing.
Starting point is 00:38:47 And now it's true. It's a movie called Kazam. Shaquille O'Neal was in it. Huh. There is no movie named Shazam with Sinbad as a
Starting point is 00:38:57 genie in the movie. But for some... That is weird. Some reason, a lot of people, including myself would have absolutely bet my life. Yeah, I would have sworn on it.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Would have sworn by it. Absolutely. So weird. So weird. Fruit loops. How is fruit loops spelled? I think I know this one. Is it F-R-O-O-T? It is O-O-T. Okay. And the other reason I think, I think, first of all, I like fruit loops a lot. But I think I've noticed this one before. And the O-O is like the shape of the loops.
Starting point is 00:39:27 Yes. But I totally could have got that one wrong. Yeah. I would have said fruit. is spelled as fruit. Let's see. Did, you didn't do curious, George, did you? The monkey?
Starting point is 00:39:42 Oh yeah, when I was a kid, I used to. Did he have a tail or no tail? He had a tail. He did not have a tail. Did not have a tail. Really? Why? What happened to it?
Starting point is 00:39:56 I don't know. I'm concerned for George. I don't know if he was bitten off by a lion. I'm not sure what kind of. tragic accident happened there, but... I blame Joe Biden. Joe Biden. I mean, he was around back then. He's probably responsible.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Probably. Cheez-its. Do you eat cheese-it or are they cheese-its? Well, they're cheese-its. They're cheese-it. Just IT, no Z. Do you know? I would... Everybody I know calls them cheese-its. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:28 Nobody calls them, hey, can I have some cheese-it? Please. I'd like a little bit of a Give me a bag of a cheese it Nobody would say that. No one says that. That is really weird. That's wrong. That kind of blows me away.
Starting point is 00:40:44 How about double stuff Oreos? Do you know how to spell Double stuff? You just spell the stuff part of Double Stuff Oreo. I mean, I'm just assuming it's not STUFF. It's assuming correctly. It's just 1F.
Starting point is 00:41:00 Really? Why? That's not how you spell it. they spell it wrong on the packaging. So, yeah. I just, and I've been in front of a lot of bags of double stuff over the years. To not recognize that. Yeah. That's amazing. I mean, basically my whole life, almost daily has been a bag of double stuff down the gullet.
Starting point is 00:41:19 And even I didn't pick that up. The Flintstones. Have you ever noticed that there are two T's in it? It's Flintstones, not Flintstones. not Flintstones. I would have never guessed. I'm looking at the logo and I would have never
Starting point is 00:41:37 ever believe there were Flintstones. Two T's there. Yeah, I would say Flintstones. Flintstones vitamin. Also, life is like a box of chocolates. Yeah. From Forrest Gump, that's not what he actually said.
Starting point is 00:41:52 If you listen closely, he says life was like a box of chocolates. I would have sworn by that one too. Life is like. like a box of chocolates like life was like a box of chocolates. Right. I think they think part of this is the mistake gets made once and then it gets repeated and
Starting point is 00:42:13 repeated and repeated and people just take in the mistaken example. But it is a really strange thing. There is an entire society out there that believes this is like some interdimensional conspiracy that like, for example, Shazam with Sinbad was a movie but it was in like
Starting point is 00:42:33 a parallel dimension and it's like slipped through somehow so we still people really believe this I could almost subscribe to that theory that's well
Starting point is 00:42:42 that's how much I believe this stuff Lord of the Rings one more here just the Lord of the Rings where Gandalf is you wouldn't know this one
Starting point is 00:42:52 because you don't do Lord of the Rings right not really no when he takes his staff and he bashes it on the, he slams it down. Yeah. And it breaks off the bridge and that big thing is coming at him.
Starting point is 00:43:08 And the big thing grabs him and pulls him down with it. And he just hangs on for a minute. And he looks up at his group of friends and he says, run, you fools. He doesn't actually say run, you fools. He says, fly, you fools. and almost everybody remembers it and says it, run, you fools. Weird.
Starting point is 00:43:31 Right? Weird. It's, I believe, the interdimensional thing now. You've convinced me. Yeah, it was the Lord of the Rings thing that you've never seen that finally convinced you. Yeah, exactly. We'll say, in the phone, all the world
