00:00:11.480
everyone believes is true a fascinating fascinating uh thing that
00:00:17.240
really happens to people and we have a bunch of examples that you're probably
00:00:20.340
not gonna even believe uh we do have more on global warming

00:01:20.960
you're listening to the best of the glenn back program
00:01:32.000
you have google devices in your house you know like the google home or google nest
00:01:40.940
you have the nest right i have all this crap i i'm not too i do not hold the line
00:01:46.460
in this way and you saw the convenience is the most recent thing about these devices
00:01:52.160
they're recording everything you do you know that is
00:01:55.720
probably definitely true but i also yeah i also want to be able to walk into a room and say play
00:02:03.460
song please yes please play what weather is we are so much effort as i want to put it lazy it's so
00:02:12.000
bad it happened so fast it did it did it really does but it is awesome when you can say and i
00:02:18.360
won't say the name of the product because i'll just amazon thing uh play my playlist
00:02:23.720
playing playlist and there it is comes on i love that you don't have to walk over to it you just
00:02:30.080
tell it what to do and it does it it's a turn up volume and it turns up the volume i love that
00:02:35.860
look i you could get into this this you know reminiscing into old timey things
00:02:43.360
in a lot of ways and it's easy to do these days but like i remember like driving around the state
00:02:50.680
to you know quote unquote record stores where they had cd you know really more cds at that time
00:02:57.400
and just looking for like a rare thing that i wanted some weird remix or b-side or whatever it was
00:03:05.480
driving hours to go to these stores that were like specialty stores to find things that i wanted
00:03:10.960
to listen to songs and now everything you could possibly want is available basically for free
00:03:18.400
whatever you want with no effort and this little round thing right in front of you in your kitchen
00:03:22.520
or living room or wherever it is and to me right now the same person who drove around the state
00:03:27.120
now like me unlocking my phone and typing it in is way too much it's too much too much it's way
00:03:35.740
too much i gotta be able to just shout it across the room and it happens right like i know at one point
00:03:41.720
i have um i got one of these amazon devices that is the tap you know they have all these different
00:03:49.440
versions they have the echo and they have uh you know there's there's all there's the little tiny
00:03:54.420
one i don't know what that one's called but they have all different versions of it and there's one
00:03:57.320
called the tap that they released i don't know if they still sell it or not but this is the one that
00:04:01.240
you don't yell to basically i think you can set it up to say hey amazon device play the song but
00:04:08.220
basically what it's designed to do is there's a button on it you press the button and you say hey
00:04:13.740
amazon device you know do the thing right like play the song just tell me the weather or whatever and
00:04:19.600
i think a couple things it was designed for it was you know but the main thing that you think of
00:04:24.280
from from a perspective of like privacy was it's not on until you press the button like the theory
00:04:29.940
was now of course you know of course it's probably recording me the whole time anyway but the theory
00:04:34.000
was it was an appeal to people who didn't want this thing on all the time available you could say
00:04:38.940
that to command a hundred thousand times in a row wouldn't do anything unless you press this button
00:04:42.240
but of course it's too hard to go over and press the button it's you don't want to do that every
00:04:45.820
time like oh it's three steps i gotta get up out of a chair and do it no and then i gotta hit the
00:04:52.280
the thing and like you know when you're listening you're in the middle you have the thing playing a
00:04:56.720
playlist you're in the middle of doing something else and you want to skip some crappy song that
00:05:00.880
has come on you gotta walk over to it that's ridiculous it's infuriating it's one of the worst
00:05:06.660
things that's ever happened to me it's outrageous that you'd have to do that so bad and of course it
00:05:12.340
is and these are devices we didn't have access to until just recently these are pretty recent
00:05:18.860
innovations and each one of them i make fun of as if they're the most ridiculous thing that's ever
00:05:23.200
happened like when i have when when i got the fingerprint thing on my phone i remember thinking
00:05:29.440
what what person can't spend the time to type the four digits into their phone and unlock it
00:05:36.760
what weird what you know person from you know what from wally it was this yeah and then it was me in
00:05:44.460
about five minutes and then now i can't imagine using my fingerprint i'll now it's just facial
00:05:52.820
recognition and it'd be completely ridiculous for me to ever have to use my fingerprint again
00:05:57.400
it's like 1800s technology to me and what does it save me 180th of a second probably but that's i can't
00:06:05.500
even comprehend it yeah how dare they ask me to put my finger on the phone and as far as listening
00:06:11.400
to a playlist instead of i don't know putting in a cd when was the last time you put a cd into anything
00:06:18.720
i mean cds were just fairly recently state-of-the-art innovation and now it's like a cd what's that for
00:06:28.360
what's i don't even i don't remember i vaguely remember these round things that you put into a slot
00:06:35.100
but i can't imagine having to go through that painstaking process i will say they're my uh
00:06:42.000
i have an older car and it's almost 10 years old now and oh my god so it is uh i mean this you know
00:06:49.300
it's i the technology in 10 years changes a freaking lot pat i mean like it has yeah it does
00:06:56.160
my car does not have the ability to turn on bluetooth and connect to my phone so i can play songs
00:07:02.020
in my car oh it doesn't no it was in 2012 i think so i mean the technology existed it was in some cars
00:07:08.480
but wasn't in all cars and mine's one of them it wasn't in so i have to like plug in a little wire
00:07:13.060
every time i get into my car no i mean and this is like what are you a luddite pretty much are you
00:07:18.700
anti-science and technology is that what you are i'm pretty much churning butter that's you should live
00:07:25.900
in western pennsylvania it's true it's how i feel and it's funny because like that process
00:07:32.480
is still a little clunky right you got to connect to bluetooth or you got to plug your phone in and
00:07:39.540
and you're you're on it but like now they have the apple car play which is on yeah on my wife has a car
00:07:45.460
within the apple apple car play she does the thing in and it looks so nice it's on the screen it comes
00:07:49.380
up perfectly all the apps from the phone come up it looks all pretty it's all integrated and you know
00:07:55.000
but for a while that's the only time i would say that that the cds were used her one of her last
00:08:00.460
cars didn't have all those fancy features and it had a cd player and she got so annoyed at trying to
00:08:05.520
get her phone connected and would lose the connection and all that stuff that she just started buying the
00:08:09.480
cds and it was but like i don't even i went to um it's funny because we have a uh we were talking we
00:08:15.720
were going on a long drive and i was thinking to myself we need to get like a movie or something for
00:08:18.580
these kids because they're just you know they're at that point i have two kids they're 18 months apart
00:08:23.400
and typically they're really good together but at times they get on each other's nerves a tad and
00:08:28.860
on a long drive that's when it's going to happen you know so i'm like we got to get these kids a
00:08:32.600
movie or something i think we got a dvd player or whatever let's just like put this thing in there
00:08:36.360
so so we went to walmart or target or something to try to find dvds the section for dvds now is like
00:08:43.440
it's it's smaller than like your locker at high school like it's like there's four dvds they have two
00:08:49.440
copies each like that it's funny like obviously like you you know uh what's the things that are
00:08:56.860
outside of like walgreens the red um oh yeah red box red box yeah yeah red box they're all over the
00:09:03.220
country there's still people are still renting them but the dvd market is you know now you're just
00:09:07.380
downloading these movies this is the whole game stop controversy right when that was going through
00:09:11.820
the roof everyone's like well no one buys physical games anymore how can this company possibly
00:09:17.180
be going up to 100 and 200 and 300 dollars a share right it really all that stuff has just
00:09:23.620
been replaced so fast too so quickly i don't think you know glenn has been on this kick for a long time
00:09:30.140
that he always tries to resist this stuff for a while and like i want all how many times has he
00:09:35.760
said this i want all this stuff out of my house i don't even want to be on the internet i don't want
00:09:40.360
the internet i want all the ipads out of the house hold on no satellite tv yeah well that my
00:09:46.820
children know about but i'm gonna have access to it of course and then they'll find out and so will
00:09:51.340
they and uh he always wants to get rid of all of his devices yeah with the with the possible
00:09:58.460
exception of the ipad that is continually attached to his hands at all times yeah and it was mine i
00:10:05.120
carry that thing with me wherever i go and i don't do the ipad thing but i do have your phone phone and
00:10:10.780
you try to resist this stuff from this idea that you're just going to get rid of it and it's really
00:10:16.280
just not possible you just we do not have the capacity and it's weird because we did have the
00:10:22.440
capacity yes we've lost it not to carry stuff around with us wherever we go like a little blankie
00:10:27.060
when we're you know two years old and we have a favorite blanket that's that's what my ipad is to me i
00:10:33.080
can't go anywhere or do anything without it if if i accidentally forget it for a second i'm like oh my
00:10:38.900
am i naked no where's my ipad has anybody seen my ipad where is it it's just ridiculous so now
00:10:51.080
these but now yeah these devices are listening to everything we do and apparently not when you just
00:10:57.720
say hey google thing or amazon thing turn on uh they're apparently always recording i i mean and we
00:11:06.960
found that out a couple years ago and they were like oh yeah but that's just uh we're learning uh
00:11:12.780
that's just to listen to conversation so that we can teach language to these devices uh-huh yeah so
00:11:20.880
they're apparently still doing it and it just stores it and keeps it and there's going to be a lot of
00:11:27.200
people who say well i don't care i ain't doing nothing wrong in my home they're just gonna be bored to
00:11:31.700
dead to hear what i have to say man you're not the one who decides if what you're doing is wrong
00:11:36.660
or not that's the thing yeah it's interesting too if you have one of these amazon ones i know
00:11:42.140
in particular you can go into the app and hear all the things it's recorded like you could go in and
00:11:48.900
like hear oh you can yeah like you could have you ever done that yeah it's just you know it's kind
00:11:52.820
of funny because i you know my kids will say things to it they're really funny because they just
00:11:58.080
they just they'll just ask like uh you know we know how old is is bob because they know someone
00:12:05.780
named bob and they just they just assume alexa's going to answer all of their questions like
00:12:09.780
legitimately like they they have this idea that like if sometimes you'll be in the conversation
00:12:15.040
let me just ask a less alexa you're like first of all alexa's not going to answer that question
00:12:18.980
that's not how alexa works secondly why do you think alexa's smarter than i am why don't you i'm i'm
00:12:24.200
your dad you're supposed to at least until 12 think i'm smart and there's a rule yeah and
00:12:30.220
apparently they know better already that but it is you see it in them like they just like that well
00:12:34.880
there's a solution it's right there that little thing that lights up but occasionally they ask
00:12:39.460
really funny and cute questions and that's what got me started on it but you could go back like
00:12:42.840
something and you you do realize that a lot of times it is they're not intentional you'll just hear
00:12:47.260
them just talking in the background i don't know why it's turned on you know maybe there was a word
00:12:52.220
with an x in it you know that they said or a ks and that sounds a little bit like the name of the
00:12:57.460
amazon device that we are not saying so that we don't alert everybody's um uh and turn it on and
00:13:03.640
and we could order stuff on your prime account if we wanted to right now but we will not do that
00:13:08.960
because we're nice um but it is one of those things that it turns it changes so so fast and you don't
00:13:17.740
even realize that you what has happened i mean there's just there's just recording devices all over my
00:13:21.820
house right all over my house and the things that you wouldn't expect like the amazon device and the
00:13:27.380
google device you'd think okay yeah well i can see where that might do it but the google nest
00:13:31.960
that's recording us too they've got microphones in the google nest that's your thermostat control why
00:13:37.600
why is that listening to me why is that recording me why is that keeping you don't i don't talk to it
00:13:44.920
so why would you need to learn from my language on the google nest it's bizarre it's bizarre they also
00:13:52.400
have nest has these these uh smoke detectors and they i have this has been one of the most annoying
00:14:02.400
the thing that has annoyed me more than anything about the united states of america is basically the
00:14:06.840
fact that these stupid smoke detectors beep and i can't tell which one it is and yeah change the
00:14:11.740
the batteries it's the bane of my existence it drives me crazy you'll take the battery out it'll
00:14:17.420
keep beeping it keeps beeping this is not physically possible what do i have to take a shotgun to this
00:14:22.540
thing how do i stop it they bend the laws of science they do there is no battery and it's not plugged in
00:14:28.940
and it continues to run like a chicken with its head cut off bizarre and so i hate these things so much
00:14:34.640
the nest has them and of course with the nest they'll tell you which one is low on batteries
00:14:40.560
on the app and i don't care if it just continually is taking pictures of me naked and posting them on
00:14:48.440
the internet if it will tell me what battery is low and where i go to change it i will put them all in
00:14:53.960
my house i don't care if it's continually making uh videos of me on the toilet and posting them
00:15:02.580
to i do i care because i to the new york times website directly the rest of us care still we care for
00:15:09.840
you and so we're gonna say no okay well that particular thing maybe not but pretty close
00:15:15.000
you're listening to the best of the glenbeck program
00:15:20.520
wow uh this is serious i mean if you're not taking if you haven't been taking uh climate
00:15:33.700
change seriously until now i certainly hope this will will change your attitude on it yeah it's uh
00:15:40.300
this is chilling brian stelter had davis david wallace wells on and when you have a hyphenated
00:15:48.440
last name like that you know they're a serious person they're a real expert or you're an assassin
00:15:54.360
or that yeah there's two things with the three names you can either be a very serious person or
00:15:59.040
an assassin or lately you're in the national football league there's a lot of hyphenated
00:16:02.520
oh really yeah um so david wallace wells is quoting estimates that suggest burning of fossil fuels
00:16:12.120
kills 10 million people every year which which of course as he mentioned is dying on the scale of the
00:16:24.660
holocaust how do these people get away with this stuff i don't know where's the uh adl on this where
00:16:31.760
where where where because we i mean when glenn was defending people in israel uh and would mention
00:16:42.980
something about nazis or what to compare what's going on now to what you know that we're on the same
00:16:49.620
road or you got to be careful they would call him out every single time yeah now if his climate it's
00:16:55.240
okay i guess yeah it's fine uh and he says and yet we don't see many public health stories we don't see
00:17:01.380
many moral crisis stories addressed to that issue we don't what are you blind that's all we see and by
00:17:08.340
the way is there any thought and this is a i don't know i don't have an answer to this pat i'm not a
00:17:13.360
scientist but do we think that fossil fuels have done anything to help people stay alive is there another
00:17:21.700
side to this equation let's not even bother uh attacking the ridiculous claim that fossil fuels
00:17:28.380
killed 10 million people a year i'm quite certain that fossil fuels help maintain the lives of way more
00:17:34.940
than 1 million people a year what would happen go back in time to the pre-fossil fuel era and tell me
00:17:42.960
in fact we don't have to go back in time you can find it in billions of people's lives all across the
00:17:47.820
globe right now who are burning things like dried dung inside their home to cook their food and
00:17:54.500
that's not good no many of them are dying it's one of the largest dry dung deaths and wood and biomass
00:18:00.940
inside their homes it's killing more people than almost anything in the world so but let's let's
00:18:09.600
criticize fossil fuels ridiculous who have eliminated that problem yeah for multiple billions of people
00:18:16.220
stelter began this by saying that meteorologists and journalists are running out of words and ways
00:18:22.360
to describe the impact of climate change yeah they are unprecedented just doesn't cut it anymore
00:18:30.420
it's true because this is the the problem with it with an issue like global warming if you're an alarmist
00:18:39.420
you make alarmist claims and you have to say they're coming soon or no one cares right because
00:18:46.980
people are you know that's just the human instinct right if you say well 500 years from now this could
00:18:50.900
happen yeah right so you can't say it like that you have to say it's within some sort of time frame
00:18:56.180
and you can't say it's tomorrow because everyone will know it didn't happen right so you say it's out
00:19:00.060
in the future and feel like you won't have to pay the price when you're wrong in the future although
00:19:03.940
this is in the present he is claiming and it's hard to track this down because how do you track
00:19:10.020
down the 10 million people die every year from climate change where are you getting that stat
00:19:16.180
where is that coming from yeah who made that estimate and based on what this is another example of how
00:19:22.680
they do it in the climate but often you'll hear estimates of how many people will die in heat waves
00:19:28.240
because of the climate climate change is coming going to kill people in heat waves what of course is
00:19:32.460
always left out of this equation is the fact that far more people die from cold than they do from
00:19:37.320
heat oh so by every if let's if you're just talking about heat deaths those are way outweighed by people
00:19:45.280
who are not dying from cold yeah right so and this has been this is in all the the un ipcc documentation
00:19:54.580
this is not something i'm making up this is something that scientists say all the time that for certainly a
00:20:00.380
long period of time the cold deaths avoided will far outweigh the new deaths caused by heat but if
00:20:07.020
you go on brian stelter's show or any cnn show and say just say the heat number no one's going to
00:20:14.360
question it no one's going to mention the other side of the equation i mean how can how can any coherent
00:20:22.220
person not see that fossil fuels are one of the things that have brought us modern civilization
00:20:30.320
the fact that we've gone from we've doubled our life expectancy over the past you know a hundred to
00:20:38.320
couple hundred years if there's one thing you'd point to you might point to fossil fuels as the
00:20:42.920
difference in between us doubling our life expectancy there's been other things uh and those things are
00:20:48.740
important as well uh but fossil fuels are a huge piece of this even if you accept the ridiculous
00:20:56.740
claim that fossil fuels are killing 10 million people a year it would still be worth it yeah oh
00:21:03.020
well yeah because we've got i mean we've added billions of people and by the way look at the
00:21:08.640
people who are arguing against that the people who didn't want it to happen are the same people who
00:21:13.680
are now telling you that fossil fuels are killing 10 million people a year the people who didn't want the
00:21:18.200
extra billions of people on the planet they kept telling you we'd all die if they came and here we
00:21:23.740
are you know this has been we've been able to feed all of them against all of their advice we've been
00:21:29.500
able to keep extend life against all of their uh advice and warning and when these claims come up later on
00:21:38.380
no one holds them accountable when they are wrong it's it's left to us talk radio on earth day to bring
00:21:46.880
out all their wrong wrong quotes from 20 years ago or 30 years ago or 10 years ago and that is a
00:21:53.860
it's an unbelievable situation it's great work if you can find it because you can make all these
00:21:59.140
spectacular claims raise all your money and never never be held accountable answer for when you're
00:22:03.740
wrong ever right and if i may uh just add one little addendum to the fossil fuel thing i don't believe
00:22:10.160
they are fossil fuels oh yeah this is a big pat pat gray uh position my theory uh that that oil uh is
00:22:19.580
a recurring natural goo in the earth the scientific term is recurring natural natural goo there are some
00:22:26.360
scientists who believe this they call they're always obviously referred to as fossil fuels um
00:22:30.180
the idea that they come from fossils from long ago uh but you've you've made you've stood on this
00:22:35.940
for a while and there are scientists who believe it the first time they started talking about peak
00:22:41.560
oil was in 1920 yeah we're we're right up on peak oil here it's about to run out okay well that didn't
00:22:48.820
happen because we found way more reserves then it was the 40s oh we're coming right up on peak oil again
00:22:54.320
there's not going to be any we better find something else and then they found more and then in the 60s
00:23:00.020
it's coming right up on peak oil and peak oil look it up it's been over and over and over yeah over
00:23:07.280
and now it's just the point where we found so much that we are now uh we now have more oil and gas
00:23:13.540
reserves than than any country on earth and the peak oil thing is very similar to the environmental
00:23:18.540
thing it's they continually warn about all these terrible things that are going to happen they don't
00:23:23.820
happen and then they just say well now we know better those those if you call if you actually get an
00:23:30.020
conversation with an environmentalist and you bring up the quotes from the 70s 80s the 90s where
00:23:35.660
they're totally wrong they will just say well yeah but i mean it's been 20 years we've learned a lot
00:23:41.100
since then it's like but yeah but then you never have to pay a price for your wrong statements yeah
00:23:46.220
you understand that you set up a system in which only you can tell us that you're wrong remember when
00:23:50.820
you said britain was going to be gone like underwater yeah by 2000 yeah that didn't happen if i'm not
00:23:56.560
mistaken britain is still there remember when you said the west side highway
00:23:59.920
in new york city is gonna be gone completely underwater the people are driving on it today
00:24:05.880
right now exactly let me give you this one um this is from the new york times in 1995
00:24:12.800
they say quote at the most likely right of rate of rise some experts say most of the beaches on the
00:24:20.620
east coast of the united states would be gone in 25 years that would be 2020 now i if you're on the east
00:24:28.160
coast perhaps you could do some reporting for us today are there beaches there do beaches exist on
00:24:35.200
the east coast of america my understanding is that they do i was in on the east coast at a beach in 2020
00:24:43.580
oh and it was still there now i don't know maybe they just got it off by a year and they've disappeared
00:24:48.100
the last couple months since i've been there but my understanding is that beaches still exist
00:24:53.080
on the east coast of the united states no one the new york times doesn't write a follow-up about this
00:24:59.280
story they don't come back later on and say by the way do you believe we wrote this thing 25 years ago
00:25:04.420
isn't this funny like they do with the internet occasionally you'll see this like they'll be like
00:25:08.240
look at our stupid article from 1991 about the internet and how it won't be it won't make any
00:25:13.680
difference right like they'll come back and revisit they don't do that with climate they only do it to
00:25:18.840
excuse the reasons why they were actually right all of this time and actually it's worse than they
00:25:25.140
even said back then let me give you another one of more recent all right uh do we have time for this
00:25:30.680
yeah okay so what was the panic before covid can you remember the panic that occurred before
00:25:39.500
covid it's hard to remember this panic because there's been a lot of panicking during covid but
00:25:44.920
before covid but one of the more recent panics was in the summer of 2000 between 2019 and 2020
00:25:52.200
where australia was on fire yeah do you remember this this was the big thing australia is on fire
00:25:59.760
the whole country is burning down it's because of global warming no one's ever seen anything like
00:26:05.120
this there were fundraisers on television like crazy no one had ever seen such a terrible thing
00:26:11.240
happen to australia and it's all because you're driving an suv so now months and months later we have
00:26:18.760
the actual data from the australian fires now you can understand why maybe people aren't focusing on that
00:26:24.540
with all this covid going around but it's important to revisit these things when we get the data
00:26:30.060
so during the 20th century about every year in australia about 10 of the surface area catches on fire
00:26:37.860
every year yes throughout the 20th century that's average about 10 percent huh now we are told of
00:26:44.040
course that global warming is going to make this much much worse obviously well in the 21st century
00:26:50.620
so far the number has been instead of 10 6 so it's gone from 10 to 6 it's fallen by 40 in the 21st
00:27:00.460
century now we are told that global warming is going to make these things much much worse
00:27:04.500
now obviously 2019 and 2020 was a terrible year as we know this is the year that it was really
00:27:10.120
really bad and worse than ever before 98 yeah and it wasn't 10 wasn't 6 in 2019 somewhere in there
00:27:17.220
no no no 3.95 percent of the country burned it was one of the lowest percentages on record in history
00:27:26.500
we have the chart up here if you happen to be watching blaze tv.com slash glenn promo code is glenn by
00:27:32.180
the way if you want to save some cash but basically we're showing the actual amount of it falling
00:27:36.980
from about 10 11 12 percent in the early part of the 20th century down to that's incredible 3.95
00:27:43.280
incredible uh now now climatologists do say that there will be an increase in these fires whether
00:27:51.480
they're right or not who knows but if you see pat if you can see they had the uh the line here a second
00:27:56.240
ago with the yellow line on the chart you see the yellow line is the predictions of what's coming in
00:28:01.200
the future now the past is a giant decrease from these really high levels down to 3.95 percent
00:28:08.180
and basically what the climate all the climate models are predicting are for it to rise slightly
00:28:14.280
from this really low period in history so basically what they're saying is instead of it being four
00:28:20.260
percent or five percent that like it is now it may go up to six percent but six percent is still half
00:28:26.800
of what it used to be and then of course doesn't include all of the innovations and things we will
00:28:31.980
learn to fight the fires and lower the overall burn right long story short is that these things are
00:28:39.260
presented as catastrophes and they're not even back to half as bad as it used to be the only difference
00:28:46.360
between the fires in australia in 2019 to 2020 is they occurred closer to where people lived
00:28:53.400
they're started by lightning and and that lightning hit areas that were closer to where people live so
00:29:00.240
they noticed them more and lightning only happens because of climate change no lightning didn't happen
00:29:06.040
in the past right no no uh not true uh by the way the global do we have the yeah this is a global area
00:29:12.000
burn from 1901 to 1920 same story right pat i mean you see the drop is dramatic huge it's been dropping
00:29:18.180
much faster since 2000 and this is all opposite the opposite of what they told us would happen with
00:29:25.340
climate change that's unbelievable the best of the glenn beck program
00:29:30.180
uh there is something called the mandela effect uh and it it has to do with uh nelson mandela and people
00:29:42.380
believing that he died in prison which didn't happen no he did not he actually got out of prison
00:29:49.260
and became pretty prominent for some time before he died he died in 2013 free man yeah you might
00:29:55.740
remember that's where barack obama hit on the leader of was it uh the netherlands yeah i think the
00:30:03.700
female leader of the netherlands and and michelle was not happy with that arrangement not happy uh
00:30:09.780
they seem to be laughing and having a great time and flirting together and michelle was yeah not
00:30:16.640
thrilled visibly unhappy i do remember that video now that you say it now that you say it uh yeah
00:30:22.540
so this is idea that basically like society can create a false memory and things and and people
00:30:30.340
will believe and like it's a mass false memory too not just like a few people but everybody believes it
00:30:36.240
everybody believes it so there's some examples of it that are pretty interesting the mandela effect
00:30:40.760
was the was the belief as you mentioned that he died in prison which i never thought but i guess
00:30:45.820
a lot of people did however this one i could probably uh probably be affected by for example what does
00:30:53.180
darth vader say when he's talking about being the father of luke skywalker luke
00:30:59.460
i am your father right that is definitely what he says except for the fact that's not what he says
00:31:09.900
he says actually in the movie no i am your father he's answering it right because luke says to him
00:31:19.220
you killed my father uh you're like luke you don't know what happened to your father
00:31:25.040
you killed my father no i am your father right right excellent by the way excellent recreation
00:31:36.220
there that was amazing but yeah i mean i would have totally said luke i am your father i would
00:31:40.560
and that money on it and that i was sure yes so there's a bunch of examples of that that's one of
00:31:45.140
them but that one i would have definitely gotten wrong how about this one uh monopoly the game of
00:31:50.780
monopoly does the monopoly man have a monocle well yeah absolutely no he does not the monopoly guy
00:32:01.540
does not have a monocle he does not have a monocle he's never had a monocle is he holding it in his
00:32:06.840
hand no he's holding money bags in his hand okay so he doesn't have it in his eye and it's not in his
00:32:12.500
hand no the belief is that people are conflating the monopoly guy and mr peanut now mr peanut
00:32:20.760
does have a monocle those are two very different characters actually i don't i don't think i've
00:32:28.180
ever conflated the two although i'm pretty sure the monopoly man is not made of peanuts that's one
00:32:35.040
thing i am sure yes well that's an interesting one okay here's another one this one i would have
00:32:39.640
probably got wrong too if you think back to your childhood you're making a peanut butter and jelly
00:32:44.780
sandwich maybe peanut butter jelly sandwich for your kids and you break out the jiffy peanut butter
00:32:51.740
yes i would think it's jiffy yeah no but i know it's not because we went through this on my show
00:33:00.880
a couple of weeks ago it just came up and i'm like did jiff used to be called jiffy it was like
00:33:06.640
no it's never been jiffy peanut butter it's always been jiff yes so there is a jiff peanut butter and
00:33:13.660
there is also a skippy peanut butter but there has never been a jiffy peanut butter someone out
00:33:18.800
there should create a jiffy peanut butter yes right it'd be successful it would be huge everyone would
00:33:24.800
think that was the one they've been buying since they were a kid but no there's no such thing really
00:33:28.700
weird okay another movie one here now i don't know how much you uh were a fan of silence of the lambs
00:33:33.580
probably not that much but it was a huge movie obviously and if you've never seen the movie you
00:33:37.900
probably know one thing about it when she walks into in front of the the cell door there he says
00:33:45.120
hello clarice it's like a very famous thing okay yeah he doesn't say hello clarice in the movie
00:33:52.700
he actually just says good morning really because that's what everybody says yes now he says
00:34:00.100
yes he says clarice in that voice many times but he only says good morning he never says hello
00:34:07.860
clarice that is weird okay fruit of the loom yeah okay underwear right you've got the the symbol of
00:34:15.500
fruit of the loom can you picture it in your head now i would have pictured in my head as a bunch of
00:34:21.020
fruit kind of spilling out of a cornucopia type of thing right yes okay uh the fruit has never spilled
00:34:27.700
out of a basket it does not come out of a basket it is literally just a pile of food really yeah
00:34:33.380
which is a weird thing to put on your underwear that is weird it's strange to put food i mean i
00:34:38.340
almost want it in a basket so it would be protected but no it's just food yeah why are we associating
00:34:44.060
food with the underwear i guess it obviously fruit and it's fruit of the loom it is and so so there
00:34:53.120
you go there you go still okay this one i didn't remember uh mona lisa when you look at the thing
00:34:59.300
of the mona lisa in your head yeah is the mona lisa smiling is the mona lisa frowning what is the
00:35:05.140
mona lisa doing i think she's smiling like a little smirk that's exactly right she has a little bit of
00:35:13.360
smirk most people remember this as her frowning a little bit that's a dollar dower times in that
00:35:18.680
painting so i can understand maybe why you conceptually put that but that's not true um do
00:35:22.920
you remember ed mcmahon back in the day he's showing up on doorsteps he's giving people oversized checks
00:35:29.960
and balloons i love this one too because this i've stumbled onto as well for the publisher's clearing
00:35:34.800
house sweepstakes he never worked for publisher's clearing house he right it's incredible it is
00:35:42.340
incredible i when i first saw this i didn't believe it i know i in fact i went back to all the videos
00:35:48.240
because i didn't believe it i'm like yes he did yes he did publishers clearing house he did no he
00:35:52.540
did not no he did not mcmahon never made any house calls first of all he never went to a house he just
00:35:57.000
endorsed a separate entity called american family family publishers it's crazy they are similar
00:36:04.620
entities but mcmahon never doesn't tell you what a terrible job he did representing that country
00:36:09.600
that company when everybody thinks he was for their competitor right it's weird it's very weird he
00:36:16.320
sucked they shouldn't have paid him a dime for that uh i'm sorry if you're you know a recipient
00:36:21.380
of the estate of ed mcmahon but you shouldn't get a penny well i mean it's very memorable commercials
00:36:26.200
you just don't remember what they were for apparently you think they were for the competition which is
00:36:30.180
weird very it really would be weird if you know later on people were like i remember that ronald
00:36:35.460
mcdonald but he was the burger king guy that would be weird would okay berenstain bears you know
00:36:42.320
them can you do you know how to spell the last name the the name of the bear uh like berenstein
00:36:49.700
s-t-e-i-n right that's what i would have said i would have bet my life on it i read these books as a kid
00:36:56.740
uh the correct pronunciation and has always been the correct spelling excuse me b-e-r-e-n-s-t-a-i-n
00:37:04.460
oh it's berenstain yeah it's always been berenstain it's named after the authors whose last name
00:37:09.080
is berenstain it's never been berenstain bears ever yet i would have bet my life on it uh-huh
00:37:17.620
gold gold 100 gold right yeah the lower portion of his right leg below the knee was silver when you
00:37:29.820
first see him in the movie and it's a fact that sometimes surprises people who have seen the
00:37:34.340
original trilogy dozens of times according to mental floss really weird amazing risky business
00:37:40.260
1983 tom cruise uh-huh he slides out he's in his underwear yes he's dancing in his sunglasses
00:37:46.680
uh-huh except he's not wearing sunglasses that's from a different part of the it's like from the
00:37:52.460
movie poster he's wearing sunglasses he's not wearing sunglasses in the famous scene of that movie
00:37:56.640
though everyone seems to think that he is and this is probably the most common one cited which is this
00:38:03.520
shazam the movie shazam the movie starring sinbad as a genie for kids except for the fact that that
00:38:12.660
movie never existed there's never been a movie named shazam with sinbad in it there's a movie named
00:38:18.940
kazam with shack in it really yeah is that weird really i totally would have thought that was a movie
00:38:25.560
shazam yeah i could picture him in the unit like i could picture it i was with you until you brought
00:38:31.380
up the shack thing and now it's true it's a movie called kazam shaquille o'neal was in it huh there is
00:38:38.020
no movie named shazam with sinbad as a genie in the movie but for some weird some reason a lot of
00:38:46.540
people including myself would have absolutely bet my life i would have sworn on it would have sworn
00:38:50.940
by it so absolutely so weird uh fruit loops how is fruit loop spelled i think i know this one is it
00:38:59.900
f-r-o-o-t it is o-o-t okay and the other reason i think i think first of all i i like fruit loops a
00:39:06.380
lot but i think i've noticed this one before and the o-o is like the shape of the loops yes but i
00:39:13.640
totally could have got that one wrong yeah i would have said fruit is spelled as as fruit uh let's see
00:39:21.000
uh did um you didn't you didn't do curious george did you the monkey oh yeah when i was a kid i used
00:39:28.160
to did he have a tail or no tail well he had a tail he did not have a tail did not have a tail
00:39:37.700
really why what happened to it i don't know i'm concerned i don't know if it was bitten off by a
00:39:44.640
lion i i'm not sure what kind of tragic accident happened there but i blame joe biden joe biden i
00:39:52.480
mean he was around back then he's probably responsible probably cheese it do you eat cheese it or are they
00:39:59.900
cheese it well they're cheese it they're cheese it just it no z do you know i would
00:40:10.100
everybody i know calls them cheese it yeah nobody calls them hey can i have some cheese it please
00:40:16.800
nobody i'd like a little bit of a give me a bag of the cheese it nobody would say that no one says
00:40:23.860
that no that is really weird it's wrong that kind of blows me away uh how about double stuff oreos do
00:40:31.840
you know how to spell double stuff you spell the stuff part of double double stuff oreo i mean i'm
00:40:40.180
just assuming it's not st uff here it's assuming correctly it's just one f really why that's not
00:40:46.280
how you spell it they spell it wrong on the packaging uh so yeah i just and i've been in front of a lot
00:40:53.220
of bags of double stuff over the years to not recognize that yeah that's amazing i mean basically
00:40:58.660
my whole life almost daily has been a bag of double stuff down the gullet and even i didn't pick that
00:41:06.320
up the flintstones uh have you ever noticed that there are two t's in it it's flint stones not flint
00:41:16.880
stones i would have never guessed i'm looking at the logo and i would have never ever believed there
00:41:23.840
was flint stones two t's yeah i would say flint stones flint stones vitamin uh also life is like
00:41:32.480
a box of chocolates yeah from forrest gump that's not what he actually said uh if you listen closely
00:41:38.700
he says life was like a box of chocolates i would have sworn by that one too life is like a box
00:41:46.780
of chocolates like life was like a box of chocolates right yeah that's i think they say
00:41:53.960
they think part of this is you know the mistake gets made once and then it gets repeated and repeated
00:41:58.480
and repeated and people just take in the mistaken uh example but it is a really strange thing there is
00:42:04.420
a an entire society out there that believes this is like some like interdimensional conspiracy
00:42:10.660
that like for example shazam with sinbad was a movie but it was in like a parallel dimension and
00:42:19.600
it's like slipped through somehow so we still this is people really believe this i could almost
00:42:25.100
subscribe to that theory that's well that's how much i believe this stuff uh lord of the rings one
00:42:31.020
more here just the lord of the rings where uh gandalf is you wouldn't know this one because you don't do
00:42:37.980
lord of the rings right no not really no when uh he takes his staff and he bashes it on the
00:42:45.060
he slams it down yeah and it breaks off the bridge and that big thing is coming at him
00:42:52.540
and the big thing grabs him and pulls him down with it and he just hangs on for a minute and he looks up
