Transcript

Speaker 1 0:04

Welcome to the Cat and Moose Podcast. I'm Kat and I'm Moose.

Speaker 2 0:09

This is the True Life Podcast, where we explore the quirks of being human. Hey.

Speaker 1 0:15

Kat, hey Moose, hey Sarah, hello Hi, how is everybody doing this lovely, dreary, miserable weather day? It's nice.

Speaker 2 0:30

You know, I like days like this, though, because you feel like you have excuses.

Speaker 3 0:34

Oh yeah, like what kind of excuses?

Speaker 2 0:38

Like I can't get out. It's raining Great.

Speaker 1 0:42

Are we there? Are we at that place in life? Oh?

Speaker 2 0:44

absolutely. I mean, why would you?

Speaker 3 0:46

go out in this. It's dangerous to drive in the rain.

Speaker 1 0:50

Yeah, I can't drive at night or in the rain, so I'm solid.

Speaker 2 0:54

I'm like, oh, my driver's busy, I can't get out. How are you guys?

Speaker 1 1:02

Well, I have been. I went to a body work session today, like just before this, and it was so good and I learned so much and it was so powerful and I'm so sleepy now. Like I'm so sleepy and it's like I think it's like the session was good and I drove home in this like drizzly, gray, dark, it looks like it's about to be night time and it's only like four in the afternoon and I think it just kind of it kind of kind of lulled me Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.

Speaker 2 1:43

I never realized lull is where lullaby comes from. I'm gonna lull you to sleep.

Speaker 3 1:50

Did you know that the Scottish word there's a Scottish word for days like today? No, and it's drich, drich, drich, and it means depressing, miserable or cold.

Speaker 2 2:04

We need to adopt that phrase.

Speaker 3 2:06

I learned that when I was in Scotland Drich, so how would you use?

Speaker 2 2:11

it in a sentence.

Speaker 1 2:15

It's pretty drich outside today. Matey, that sounds like a pirate, our pirates from Scotland, drich whether on the Scottish coast or a drich church service.

Speaker 3 2:30

that's what are my options here. Oh, like a dreary, it's like dreary maybe. Yeah, just kind of like drich.

Speaker 2 2:37

Well, now that we've covered the weather here in Nashville Tennessee.

Speaker 1 2:44

One of the most. Do not talk about subjects. Nobody is having the same experience. You are, Kat.

Speaker 3 2:52

Well, but now they understand why you would be sleepy after what you've gone through. But then also they've put themselves in our drich kind of day, and don't worry, I'll put a great soundscape in here, so everybody will know exactly what it feels like.

Speaker 1 3:10

Okay, that is just awesome. I had so much fun with you guys last night.

Speaker 2 3:15

We did too. No, it was really fun. We thought we kind of watched the football game. Let's say that we watched Monday night football. Yeah, we did.

Speaker 1 3:24

You were saying that. You were saying that Mahomes looked like he needed a spanking.

Speaker 2 3:30

He does Like. I love Mahomes and I think he is incredible and super difficult to sack. We're a sports podcast, by the way.

Speaker 3 3:41

Yeah, we are.

Speaker 2 3:43

It's just like listening to the Manning brothers or the Kelsey brothers. We are here to talk football, guys, but what was I saying?

Speaker 1 3:53

You were saying that. I said that. You said oh gosh, wow, this is going well. I said that. You said that he looks like he needs a spanking and that he got one.

Speaker 2 4:05

Yes, so he always had like I have someone in mind that he reminds me of I'll say that much and he kind of looks like him where he's always like he just needs a little spanking, like I don't want him to get too big for his britches is what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 4:22

And he is too big for his britches.

Speaker 3 4:25

Sarah pointed that out last night. Yeah, she thought that maybe he is actually. He needs a half size up on his britches.

Speaker 2 4:30

I don't know that, britches coming, britches coming a half size up?

Speaker 3 4:34

Sure they do, it's the NFL.

Speaker 1 4:36

They can make them whatever size they want.

Speaker 3 4:38

They're like men's pantyhose. Wait, wait, wait. Can you? Will you share what you shared with us about his undies?

Speaker 2 4:45

Oh yeah, I read this article that he on the Eli and Peyton Manning podcast that he shared, that he wears the same underwear for every game and only washes them if they lose.

Speaker 1 4:59

Well, I mean can we unpack that a little bit?

Speaker 2 5:05

So it says Patrick Mahomes underwear superstition explained. Chiefs quarterback confirms he wears the same lucky red pair every game. I love that they're red.

Speaker 1 5:15

Especially because they're away uniforms are white.

Speaker 2 5:20

I know Like. Can you see through the pantyhose?

Speaker 3 5:24

God, I hope so.

Speaker 2 5:25

Anyway, on the Manning cast, he says that he wears the same pair of underwear. He revealed that Mahomes was gifted the underwear by his wife, brittany, and put them on in 2017, his first season in the NFL even though he only played one game. The Chiefs finished 10 and 6 and he won the AFC West for the second straight year. That was good enough for him, so he began the tradition. Mahomes said he's worn the same pair every game, but only during game, so don't worry, they're not too worn down. But when does he wash them? Every once in a while, he admitted they don't get clean if he's on a hot streak. As long as I'm winning football games, I'll keep the superstition going. That is, by the way, an article by Emily Dozier from the Sporting News.

Speaker 1 6:14

So yeah, and I'm curious, like if we could talk to his wife like like we're Kat and Moose and they're like Eli and Peyton, like kind of same difference, right. Like I wonder if we could talk to his wife and say, brittany, like what were you thinking?

Speaker 2 6:28

boo, she just wanted to give him some of the underwear I didn't think she had in mind he wouldn't wash them, right? Yeah, that's a whole other thing I would think of all people.

Speaker 1 6:38

she wouldn't want that Right.

Speaker 2 6:40

When you guys travel, do you guys bring extra underwear? Mm-hmm, yes, Like, have you ever thought through that? Like, what? Now, for women it can be a little bit different because of you know the things we have once a month. But otherwise, do men like, do men pack extra underwear? And if so, are they were? What are they worried about?

Speaker 1 7:04

Yeah, I think they do, and I think that I think things happen also in their panties.

Speaker 3 7:12

Oh God, what Again we need to?

Speaker 1 7:15

interview. Wow, I mean, I totally.

Speaker 2 7:20

no, I don't want to interview a man and ask these questions. I would rather stay in a mystery, I guess, wow. I didn't think through that before I asked the question.

Speaker 3 7:30

Yeah, no.

Speaker 2 7:31

Walked right into it. All right, okay, moving on. I know we love to highlight a sponsor. This is somewhere I haven't been in the last two months, but I really need to go back If you ever come to Nashville. If you're not a local. If you're a local, you know about this place that we have a steakhouse here called Cain Prime.

Speaker 3 7:50

Not Kanye Prime.

Speaker 2 7:52

Not Kanye Prime, but spelled similarly. And they? Their steak is unbelievable and you need to know that, but we need to talk about their sides, because they have. Oh, come on, oh, maybe I could make popovers, oh popovers.

Speaker 1 8:10

It's basically like taking an egg and put a little bit of flour with it and shake it up and drop it into a deep fryer. Oh a vat of butter.

Speaker 2 8:21

Isn't it? I thought there's. It isn't a fryer, I thought it was baked.

Speaker 3 8:25

No, it baked.

Speaker 1 8:26

They have to get a little pan, a popover pan. There's no way that's baked.

Speaker 3 8:32

Yes, it's baked with butter.

Speaker 2 8:34

And it is like melt-in-your-mouth. So good, Delicious, bread-y dough, oh it's so good. Okay, so we love those. What else do we love at GamePro?

Speaker 1 8:44

They're creamed crème brûlée. They're creamed corn brûlée. Is that what they call it?

Speaker 3 8:51

Yeah, the creamed corn brûlée.

Speaker 1 8:53

Yes, creamed corn brûlée, man. And they have to break the top of it open because it's all hot and sugar, I agree.

Speaker 3 9:00

Okay, what about the cotton candy pork belly appetizer?

Speaker 1 9:07

Yes, they call it the thick bacon. Yes, yes, it's delicious.

Speaker 3 9:13

It arrives with fluffs of cotton candy on top.

Speaker 1 9:15

Yes, that is unbelievable. And then that Caesar salad.

Speaker 3 9:20

Oh, that Caesar salad. I dream about it weekly.

Speaker 1 9:23

And I think that we learned right, sarah, that the magic sauce of that Caesar salad is Worcestershire.

Speaker 3 9:31

It's like a Worcestershire, worcestershire.

Speaker 2 9:35

The.

Speaker 3 9:36

Worcestershire glaze. Okay, wait, I have to share this with you.

Speaker 2 9:43

Three of the hardest things for people to say I was wrong, I need help.

Speaker 3 9:50

And Worcestershire sauce, worcestershire sauce Worcestershire with Worcestershire sauce.

Speaker 1 9:59

Worcestershire Now, I think that it's called Worcestershire.

Speaker 2 10:05

Are you serious?

Speaker 1 10:06

I hear, most people say it's Worcestershire.

Speaker 3 10:09

I think it's Worcestershire.

Speaker 1 10:12

Worcestershire, and I think it's Worcestershire.

Speaker 3 10:15

Worcestershire.

Speaker 2 10:16

Wait, you think it's Worcestershire. Uh-huh, okay, I'm going to ask Google. Okay, here's what Google says Worcestershire, worcestershire, worcestershire.

Speaker 1 10:31

Worcestershire.

Speaker 2 10:32

Worcestershire, worcestershire.

Speaker 1 10:36

Well, why do they spell like Worcestershire?

Speaker 3 10:41

I love that you said it the same way three times. I know that's funny.

Speaker 2 10:45

Okay, can I give you the background of Worcestershire sauce.

Speaker 3 10:49

Worcestershire, worcestershire.

Speaker 2 10:51

I'd love to share it with you guys.

Speaker 3 10:53

Thank you, here we go.

Speaker 2 10:54

Here we go, go, go, all right. So Worcestershire sauce is a fermented liquid condiment invented by the pharmacists John Wheely Lee and William Henry Penis, and parents, they're Lee and parents Lee and parents is the best Worcestershire sauce.

Speaker 3 11:14

Oh, that's where, lee and parents, they were pharmacists. You got no kidding.

Speaker 2 11:21

Oh, from Worcestershire England.

Speaker 3 11:24

Worcestershire. Look, we know we have some.

Speaker 2 11:29

British listeners. Can you help us how to say this properly?

Speaker 1 11:32

OK, yeah, but seriously, British listeners like look at the word, Look at it and spell it out phonetically Worcestershire yeah.

Speaker 3 11:45

Explain yourselves.

Speaker 1 11:46

So it's like this Worcestershire, the Worcester is like a shortened version of Worcestershire. So I don't think I'm saying it wrong. I don't think you are either.

Speaker 3 11:58

I don't think you are. But guys, it's one of those generic terms like Kleenex and Chapstick. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. Everybody knows what those things are. It's like a wait. The High Court of Justice ruled that Lee and parents did not own the trademark for it. So yeah, worcestershire sauce is just a condiment.

Speaker 2 12:17

So it is the type of condiment. It's not a brand name. Yeah, yeah. Oh my gosh, it's frequently used to augment recipes such as Welsh oh, I thought it said Welsh rabbit. Ok, that's better.

Speaker 3 12:31

Rare. That's a rare bit. I have no idea what a rare bit is. It is a Welsh brand.

Speaker 1 12:36

I'm a snake.

Speaker 2 12:37

I've had a rare bit after walking too long and my legs broke together. Woo, we, several rare bits. So here's what's in it, if you were wondering Worcestershire barley malt vinegar, a little spirit vinegar, molasses, sugar, salt and chovies. What Yum? Tamarind extract, shallots, later replaced by onions, garlic, spices and in general, flavorings.

Speaker 3 13:05

Flavorings with the you.

Speaker 2 13:07

Well, it's British. Of course it is. Yeah, of course it is.

Speaker 3 13:10

There she is, lee and parents, there she is. Wow, I never knew, I didn't either.

Speaker 1 13:17

Now you guys do. Yeah, now we are a Worcestershire podcast.

Speaker 2 13:21

That's from.

Speaker 3 13:22

Wikipedia. I made a diagram for you, a diagram for me. Oh, I did, because you always have diagrams to show us or talk to us about the body and body parts and different points and chakras, and so I made up my own of how I talk about my various body parts around the house.

Speaker 1 13:43

Oh my gosh, this is so excited about this.

Speaker 3 13:46

OK, great, if you just want to. You don't have to read them all, but maybe you can highlight some of your favorites. Okay, all right, here it comes, all right.

Speaker 2 13:56

Oh, you really made this diagram. Yeah, I did.

Speaker 1 13:59

Oh my gosh, this is great. Okay, can I please take this to my master class, please, please do. Wow, this is okay. I'm going to start where, where always we start area slash downtown, mm-hmm. Okay, so there's, there's, the getters, the getters.

Speaker 2 14:20

Which are the hands, those are fingers. Okay, the getters and the thyroid.

Speaker 3 14:25

Yeah, that's my.

Speaker 1 14:26

Those are my the top part of my legs, you know, he's got some thyroid and then the caichani, the kni, kni.

Speaker 3 14:38

Foot sees, toesies Foot sees and toesies Angle.

Speaker 2 14:43

Yeah, I mean, it makes sense for the ankle. Why didn't they call it an angle?

Speaker 1 14:47

An angle. Yeah, well, I mean, it makes sense. The knee pit is probably my favorite. Yeah, the back of the knee yeah.

Speaker 2 14:55

Kat, you haven't gotten to the top. My favorite is the space between the shoulder and the neck is called the schnack Schnack.

Speaker 1 15:06

I mean that should be a put in use medical term. The schnack when are you experiencing tension in my schnack? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 15:17

I like the. Is it belliums?

Speaker 3 15:21

Yeah, belliums, like my belly, my belly inside my belliums, belliums Wow.

Speaker 1 15:26

Yeah, and then the the shoulder. This is something that I is. This inspired by Moose, because I also have this problem.

Speaker 3 15:34

I adopted this one. The shoulder yeah, is your shoulder.

Speaker 1 15:38

Yeah, I say that around my house too. Thanks to Moose In the chesticles.

Speaker 3 15:43

Oh yeah, I feel like we all have chesticles. All of us do yeah and ear holes.

Speaker 2 15:48

Ear holes yeah.

Speaker 1 15:50

I mean, this is great, sarah. I feel like you are like a downloader, I feel like you are like a genius of our generation and have come up with ways to identify the body that feel a lot closer to reality than the words we currently have. So thank you.

Speaker 3 16:07

Yeah, I've heard all kinds of different languages and uses for the various body parts that we have. Yeah, and I'm sure that everyone has these, but this was producer Sarah's version.

Speaker 1 16:19

I love it. I hope that you're going to share that on the internet. It'll go viral.

Speaker 3 16:23

Oh, I, sure will yeah.

Speaker 2 16:25

You know I speaking of the downtown area, something about Thanksgiving has inspired me lately to call any of the downtown area, whether male or female or otherwise, they're giblets that that's been my newest term is has been saying that around the house a lot. I just been saying giblets around the house.

Speaker 3 16:46

I mean it's really in place of downtown, or oh yeah it's like little gibbs, little giblets, you know.

Speaker 1 16:53

Well, and you were last night, if I remember exactly you. You asked the room. Has anyone twisted off anyone's nipple before?

Speaker 2 17:04

I said well, I don't think that's it.

Speaker 1 17:06

That's exactly what I said, oh what exactly did you think it was a bit off?

Speaker 2 17:13

Bit off. I didn't say no, I am being taken out of context. This is not who I am. I nope, I'm not going there. We should have had a microphone in the room, but that is not exactly what I said.

Speaker 1 17:29

Well, it might not have been exactly what you said, but it was a question that we like, we looked around the room and nobody was like racing their hand.

Speaker 2 17:38

It was related to the football game we were watching, because if I ever told you guys the story, I'm I'm going to put up a warning here right now for any men listening, because this might be really difficult. It's difficult for me and I'm feeling nervous.

Speaker 2 17:54

So I worked with this guy at a record label and he he told me the story of he and these guys in high school were all like showering after a football game and guys, as they do, were rolling up their towels and snapping each other in the butts. You know, and you know it was just a bunch of guys doing that and one guy did it and he hit the guys giblets area and one of his giblets fell out of what is packaged in and just went. Oh no, it didn't.

Speaker 1 18:34

Yes, it did Are you serious.

Speaker 2 18:37

Apparently blood everywhere and it was like a little yo-yo that came out of its packaging and they had to rush him to the hospital. Now, how would you make that up? You're the one that knows all about the body. Show me. Show me an image of a man's the yo-yo, giblet.

Speaker 1 18:58

No, no, I do not claim. I do not claim to have much knowledge whatsoever of that. I even said, like two podcasts ago, that I have very little experience with that. It just seems like unlikely, Like well, I'm going to show you.

Speaker 2 19:15

Did he survive? Is he okay? Yeah, he ended up being okay. I didn't know him. I didn't know him. I just pulled up a testicle graph.

Speaker 3 19:25

Well, of course, you did, so we're going to see testicle, testicular anatomy.

Speaker 2 19:31

So I think something in here went ding ding ding ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding ding.

Speaker 3 19:35

I don't know if you can see my?

Speaker 2 19:36

can you see my cursor moving?

Speaker 3 19:38

Oh yeah, I can, yeah, I can.

Speaker 2 19:40

It's really bouncing around like a yo-yo yeah well, so like yeah, I mean I, I mean there's other photos it kind of looks like an eye, there's something called a kaput, that's what I'm saying right here. I think one of these danglers, like a blood vessel it came out.

Speaker 3 19:57

It looks like electrical wires with hearing aids holding eggs.

Speaker 1 20:03

Yes, it looks like the Southern Oracle from the Neverending Story.

Speaker 2 20:09

So, anyway, that's where that conversation came from, was I was thinking it. It seemed to shock everyone in the room, yes, but in my mind I was just thinking like, huh, I wonder if people have ripped off parts of their body like that.

Speaker 1 20:24

So I don't know, I really was just curious if any of us had ripped off our own or someone else's no, not your own.

Speaker 2 20:31

Did you know of anyone who had taken a nipple off? Is what I was asking. I recognize it's not a normal question and here I am admitting that, so there.

Speaker 1 20:42

This is like a rare moment everybody. Like this is really rare. I love you, moose, and thank you for for it wasn't sexual. Oh no, it never is Never. It's always purely anatomical. I wanted to tell you guys that only in about a week and a half I am taking the last required class to apply for practitionership in the bodywork modality that I have been studying, Jenshindo, which means the way of the compassionate spirit.

Speaker 3 21:19

Yes.

Speaker 1 21:20

And I am really excited to be. The word I keep coming up with is like on, like the precipice of like what? What if I've like studied all this stuff, and what if I, like, actually can say for myself, not for anybody else, I'm not thinking anybody else cares about that, I mean, maybe they do a little bit. But I guess when I'm saying it's yeah, thank you, thank you for feeding my inner voice, but it's like well then, what then? What do you do? You know, it's like do you just like all of a sudden, like begin levitating or like have I been levitating the whole time and I've just learned how to do it differently? Like it's kind of, it's kind of neat, and it made me think about you, moose, in your studies, because you're getting near the end of your studies, and it's like comma. Then what? Yeah?

Speaker 2 22:09

What comes next? Well, first of all, congratulations until this one. It's huge, so we can celebrate because we love to celebrate.

Speaker 3 22:18

I love it and I think what comes next, cat, is that you start teaching other people how to levitate. I agree with that.

Speaker 2 22:27

I also don't know what's next, but I felt this entire time that this degree was very purposeful for me and I just went with it. I've never really questioned it the whole time, I've just enjoyed. You know, I picked a subject that I'm very passionate about and I am having the best time. It's so embarrassing because I was so afraid of this at the beginning, writing my research paper. Like, I'm 34 pages into writing this research paper and it's a literature review, and so what you do with the literature review is like you go and find out what everybody else has said about your research problem and it's been fascinating and I'll share more about the topic and all of that later on. But yeah, so I don't know.

Speaker 2 23:15

I will say I have sort of fallen in love with research, which doesn't surprise me too much, because I love analytics. I know I go to five on the Enneagram and I love analytics. I love even in the music industry. Like any possible subscription I can have to like dig in and understand how a song's doing or whatever. There's this new software package that I've been loving on the music side and I found out today that they have a certification and you know me Like I was like, oh I can be certified in something.

Speaker 2 23:50

And I was telling Sarah about it and someone else, and they were like, how much does it cost? I was like it's free, which you know, for me I like to drop a couple grand just for the hell of it.

Speaker 1 24:02

Yeah, just in case you actually take the course.

Speaker 2 24:05

Yeah, exactly, but anyway, stuff like that I love. So that's been fun to notice how much I enjoy the research, because I don't think prior to grad school I quite understood how much research like can influence policy, and now I understand that and so that makes me feel like it's not just people sitting around doing research, it's going, hey, let's create these studies so we can point to that and ideally change, you know, circumstances for people.

Speaker 1 24:37

So well, with the internet being so vast and wide and deep and all that kind of stuff, like where does one even start? When one says I want to research something, and I'll use myself for an example, it's like if I search Chinese five element theory, all kinds of shit comes up. Yeah, and, like you know, it's everywhere from like please come to our chiropractic office in St Louis. And then the next thing is like please come to, you know, Beijing, where you can experience a healing sound bath and hear. And it's like okay, but like how do you begin to narrow down your research, moose?

Speaker 2 25:19

Well, that makes me want to nerd out for everyone, but I won't. The one thing I'll say is, when you're doing research at an academic level, you're using peer reviewed and published actual studies, which is really interesting because you could actually go to do. You know this thing called Google Scholar? Have you ever heard of that? So if you Google Google Scholar, or you can just go to that, you can look at it. It'll filter everything based on publications and research.

Speaker 2 25:53

Oh yeah, so you could type in you know Chinese five element theory and you could. I mean, there would actually be studies of you know how people have used that and medicine or how people have used that. And the cool thing is is to me, I mean, those, those studies are they have to be sponsored by a university and then you have to you know. So there's there's all these levels of criteria that have to be in place before you can actually publish a study, and so, anyway, I think it's the best place to actually look for research.

Speaker 1 26:32

That is so neat and does it have like, do you have to like subscribe to it or anything, or.

Speaker 2 26:38

Well, like if you're part of an institution, you can just put in. You know, often your school has a subscription and so you know you can do it just as a proxy through that school. But a lot of them are open what they call open files or whatever and so a lot of them you can look at for free. Sometimes you'll get into one that I'll say like for $34, but I can always find that for you. We'll sneak around and find some stuff We'll do.

Speaker 1 27:07

we'll take a scandalous approach.

Speaker 2 27:09

I have paid enough money to get a few review articles for free.

Speaker 1 27:13

That's right, I'm going to start using you as my underground, underground research. Hey guys.

Speaker 2 27:19

Let me know If there's any listeners out there that need me to do some research. You know who to call.

Speaker 3 27:26

Ghostbusters. Um, kat, would you be willing to read something for me? Yes, I have a thing, that's a conspiracy theory, and I would love for you and our listeners to join me. Woo, and I would love it if, kat, you would read it for us.

Speaker 1 27:47

Oh, I'm so happy to. I bought one of my clients If you're listening Spoiler alert, but I know you're not yeah, I bought one of my clients said a conspiracy theory kind of word game type thing for Christmas this year and I'm very excited about it.

Speaker 2 28:08

I actually told a friend today. I was like I used to love, or I said I love conspiracy theories that aren't related to right wing stuff. Other than that, I don't know about it.

Speaker 3 28:18

Well, good, ok. Well, this is completely made up by this person. His TikTok handle is Bad Dreams 1985. And he just made his own theory up using, I'm guessing, some AI artwork, and it just totally got me and it's called the 1988 anomaly theory. Oh, ok, I'm already a believer, so I'm going to, I'm going to share this and then I'll just scroll through.

Speaker 1 28:45

Ok, in the year 1988, a strange phenomenon swept across the globe, one that went unnoticed by the public but caused ripples through the fabric of reality. It was the year humanity faced an unrecorded extinction, and everything we know today is built on the echoes of that lost world. A growing group of Internet theorists, known as the anomaly truthers, believe that in 1988, a catastrophic event erased humanity. Wow, this event was so devastating that it caused a reset in the timeline, a glitch that the universe itself scrambled to fix. They claim this is why so many people experienced the Mandela effect. Misremembered events or details. Misremembered events. Wow, this is because our collective consciousness is trying to reconcile the inconsistencies between pre and post 1988 realities. It's funny like, in the background, all they're showing is like shitty cars. Yeah, it's like cars.

Speaker 1 29:56

Just so you know.

Speaker 3 29:56

cars covered in grass Plants have grown through cars and housing.

Speaker 1 30:02

Yeah, it's just like scenes from the Walking Dead. These theorists point to several pieces of evidence to support their claims. Firstly, the surge in 80s nostalgia isn't cultural. It's a subconscious effort by those who lived during the anomaly. Oh gosh, what if this is real? What if it is? I'm starting to believe it. This is why new generations, even those born decades later, feel an inexplicable connection to the 80s. They're resonating with the echoes of a past that's imprinted on the human psyche.

Speaker 2 30:38

I thought we all died in 88.

Speaker 1 30:40

Right, yeah, this is starting to fall apart quickly. Secondly, the technological boom and the Internet's explosion in the 90s were too advanced, too rapid, almost as if they were compensating for lost time, is theorized that remnants of the old world's knowledge leaked into the new timeline, causing an unexplained acceleration in progress. The anomaly truthers hint that the truth of 1988 lingers in odd cultural quirks and technological leaps that feel out of time, echoes of a pre reset world. As we navigate a reality that feels increasingly like a patchwork, we're left to wonder if these are more coincidences or glimpses through the veil of a history that was never supposed to be lost.

Speaker 2 31:30

I feel like that didn't even make sense.

Speaker 1 31:34

It doesn't even there's no, there's no even explanation of anything. And then this ding dong comments that this would be a good pitch for a TV series.

Speaker 3 31:45

I totally agree. By the way, it would be a good idea Like anything based in the 80s is freaking amazing.

Speaker 1 31:53

And then this this woman says I'm too high for this right now. Oh my God, oh my God, so so good.

Speaker 2 32:04

Wait, wait, wait, go up, go up, sarah. This is my favorite. Not really a theory, more of just a made up series of sentences, right?

Speaker 1 32:18

Oh, wow, yeah, this is this. I mean it would be. It's a great concept, like the humanity would be wiped out like the Andromeda strain. Did you guys see that back in the day? No, it's not, no. Well, I mean it's, you know, like a comet hit the planet or something, or a disease or something, and it wiped everybody out. I mean there's like every generation. There's at least two or three movies about post-apocalyptic times, right? So that's clearly a thing that, like we humans are fascinated with and worried about and and all of that kind of stuff. This one just gives no reason.

Speaker 2 32:54

None, it just happens to be 1980 and that's why you don't remember shit and I'm like no, I think it was trauma actually.

Speaker 1 33:05

That's a fantastic offering, Sarah. I wonder if if the Mandela effect is going to happen after the voting season of 2024.

Speaker 2 33:15

Yeah, oh something's going to happen.

Speaker 3 33:17

Let's see what it is. The Mandela effect describes a phenomenon where a large group of people adopt a false memory about the same event or image, usually one associated with history or popular culture.

Speaker 2 33:30

No, in all honesty, it's true Like, yeah, we all. If we think back to the 80s, I remember care bears, I remember Scooby Doo, where the care is the one that lived in a tree, or is that another?

Speaker 1 33:46

Think the care bears lived in the clouds.

Speaker 2 33:48

Oh, who lived in the trees. The shirt, the tail key blur. Remember the?

Speaker 3 33:53

shirt tails. What about the Frago Rock? Oh yeah, now they have done it ground.

Speaker 1 33:58

Ponky Brewster yeah, ponky Brewster. And and I know this is more like 70s, but I've gotten in some feed that I see every now and then. I get stuck watching a whole 30 minutes of Wiley, coyote and Roadrunner cartoons.

Speaker 2 34:16

From.

Speaker 1 34:16

Looney Tunes. I love Looney Tunes. I will sit there and giggle like a child. I think they're so funny.

Speaker 2 34:24

I love that. That's how I felt about Scooby Doo. Can I ask you guys, before we go, your names on Zoom are Gluten Free? Me, kat and Sarah Peed. Would you guys please explain to our listeners what's going on here?

Speaker 1 34:40

Sarah, I find yours much more fascinating.

Speaker 3 34:44

Well, my last name is Reed. Oh yeah, and I have to pee, but I didn't go yet, but I thought it would be funny to ride. Never even thought to rhyme Peed with Reed, so I did it today.

Speaker 2 34:54

Oh, great job.

Speaker 1 34:55

I really like it. Thank you, and you can't Well in mine is is not creative at all and is just a continued screaming black hole of I Need Attention. I, oh, my God, that's good.

Speaker 2 35:11

A screaming black hole of I Need Attention, Feed me. Holy shit, Sarah, you've got to find a sound effect that, whenever Kat goes into the screaming black hole of I Need Attention, that's like Dun dun dun, Dun dun dun.

Speaker 1 35:27

Dun dun, dun, dun dun dun. I have just been trying to make little tweaks and changes to my life to see if I can do anything to help my body feel any better, and one of the issues I've had pretty much my whole life has been something or other to do with the digestive tract. You know I've had irritable bowel syndrome, or I've had indigestion or heartburn, or you know a puke when I drink coffee or whatever.

Speaker 1 36:02

You know I've always got some sort of like like a digestive thing going on and so I just decided I was like I'm going to try to eliminate gluten from my diet and just see what happens. That's awesome. I didn't suspect like, oh, I'm gluten intolerant or, you know, can't have a Ritz cracker or whatever it is. But I have been feeling so much better in my body since I have eliminated gluten from my diet and so I think I'm going to. What are you?

Speaker 2 36:26

eating like lunch meat and shit. Yeah, I just panicked because I have to get on everyone's bandwagon and I just literally grabbed these. What are you? Doing and I was like oh shit, I think this is gluten in it.

Speaker 1 36:45

That's awesome. No, what I've done is like you know, for example, I love hummus, and so when I go to a Mediterranean place and get some hummus, I ask for vegetables with it instead of the pita. Yeah, you know it's that it's that kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 36:57

It's just little soft pita is so good, it's so good, like how in the world can you stop?

Speaker 1 37:05

You can't.

Speaker 2 37:06

You can't, and they're whipped feta.

Speaker 1 37:08

Oh man.

Speaker 2 37:10

OK, so you're feeling better. How many days in are you? I'm about a month. Well, I didn't know any of this.

Speaker 1 37:17

Yeah, I've been. I've been relatively gluten free for about a month.

Speaker 2 37:21

Anyway, I've been pretty darn pleased with the results, and have you had a bowel movement today? Yes, did your grandmother's ever ask you that? My grandmother would ask me every day when I was visiting in the summer. Have you had a BM today? And I'd be like grandma oh my God is not OK yeah.

Speaker 1 37:46

First of all, I had no grandmothers, pretty much oh my.

Speaker 2 37:50

God, hey, bring back the dark. Oh, it was Kimmel. Yeah, please give me attention, I have had no parents.

Speaker 1 37:57

Well, both of my parents are dead.

Speaker 2 37:58

So top that Kat. No, I guess not a competition man shoot guys and my brother is your brother.

Speaker 1 38:06

I just want to say Godly.

Speaker 2 38:10

Ok. So I didn't mean to bring up the trauma of not having a grandma. Did your mom ever ask you that?

Speaker 1 38:15

I mean, maybe she has, but I certainly don't remember it. And what I was going to say is what I got from my grandparent. The one who I actually can remember having somewhat of a relationship with is that she called me Shag Nasty.

Speaker 2 38:30

Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 38:31

We got to bring.

Speaker 2 38:32

Oh, we got to. Ok, that is the episode we need to listen to.

Speaker 3 38:35

That's the one. Yeah, I think it's number four.

Speaker 2 38:38

Ok guys, we have something to say we do, we do, kat, tell them what we're doing.

Speaker 1 38:41

OK, so what we're doing and we're going to thank a lot of people for this idea, most specifically my mother, thank you, yes, thank you, mom. So you know we've been doing the podcast now for about four years, and so there's a lot of content and there are new listeners that we're having join our tribe, like every week. You know it's like oh so and so from England, we didn't know, and so and so from Nova Scotia, and you know it's very exciting, and so my mom was like it would be neat if those people could be introduced to some of your earlier episodes through your current state of being. It's great.

Speaker 2 39:21

Right, it's so fun because it's like the director's cut of us listening to old episodes with you and responding throughout and I can't wait because I can't go back and listen. Like I know you've gone back and you're like, oh my gosh, the quality was still OK and I'm like, oh, I am just so afraid of any vulnerability that I shared. I just I wrap it up every week and I'm like we'll not listen to that again. Cheers. But I'm excited to, because it'll be cool to see if there's been growth or if we are on the decline.

Speaker 3 39:54

Totally. And we've been going back and forth on OK, well, which ones are we going to do? And so I mean that just came to our mind. The shag nasty one would be a great place to start, and we would love to roll a couple of these out just sporadically as the year closes in, and we'll still do our normal episodes, but we want to throw a couple of these directors cuts in as well. Yeah, we'll call them stocking stuffers. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 40:18

Oh yeah, stuff it up, stuff it up. So if you have a favorite episode or a favorite moment from an episode, please tell us what it is. We'd love to cover it and and comment on it from our perspective now.

Speaker 3 40:31

Totally and share any of your perspectives, because we love to hear them. Yes, we do Love. Bye everyone, bye, bye.
