Did Nelson Mandela really die in prison? Was it Berenstain or Berenstein Bears? And why do so many of us remember the exact same things… wrong?

In this episode, Andrea and Crystal unravel the Mandela Effect, the bizarre phenomenon where collective memories don’t line up with reality. We dig into the most famous examples, why our brains might be gaslighting us, and the theories that range from psychology and social influence to parallel timelines and simulation glitches.

Is this just how memory works, or is something else going on? Either way, once you notice it, you can’t unsee it.
