Every week, Alex and Joe get handed a random topic and five “facts”—some real, some fake, all ridiculous. Their job? Figure out which one's history actually gave us… and which ones are complete nonsense.This week’s topic: 1889, a year that somehow includes global breakthroughs, bizarre predictions, questionable world fairs, and at least one origin story you definitely weren’t expecting.In this episode, the hosts tackle claims about:- A world-famous company that supposedly began as something very different- A chaotic land rush that gave birth to an iconic nickname- A disturbing attraction rumored to have appeared at a major world event- A surprising pair of historical figures who may—or may not—share a birth year- Wild predictions from 1889 about what life would look like in 1929Some of these are true. Some are fake. Some feel fake but are horrifyingly real. And one of them involves an invention so stupid it has to be made up… right?Play along, make your guesses, and prepare to be shocked at how weird 1889 actually was.#TheAllegendlyPodcast #FactOrFake #HistoryPodcast #1889 #WeirdHistory #ComedyPodcast
