The Internet Says it’s True - Bucket List: The Internet Can’t Believe This Mandela Effect
play

02/28/22 • 39 min

The Internet has been blowing up recently with people who can't believe this claim: That the phrase "Bucket List" originated with the 2007 Rob Reiner buddy film of the same name. In an apparent "Mandela Effect," or mass false memory, everyone seems to think they've been using the phrase in their lives long before 2007. In this episode, we talk about other examples of the Mandela Effect, and find out the truth about the origin of the "Bucket List." Then we play the quick quiz with Comedian Lisa Berry!

In a departure from our regular style of episodes, this one is a strange tale that I stumbled on by mistake. I was doing some wildlife photography in a cemetery in Columbus, OH and saw a grave marker upon which people had left all types of coins. When I googled the person's name, I was shocked at the story. I tell that story in this episode, and then play the quick quiz with Magician, Erik Tait.

While I'll freely admit there is a sort of "clickbait" nature to this title, I promise this episode is a wild one. It's about the forgotten and sordid past to the popular Mexican stew, Pozole. In addition to learning all about the stew, it's history and ingredients, we learn a little bit about ancient Aztec culture, hear me pronounce words like "Tlacaxipehualiztli" and then do a quick quiz with a Doctor of Food Science, my brother Kyle!
