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!
