    The Mandela Effect

    It's called The Mandela Effect. A phenomenon marked by shared and consistent false memories in pop culture experienced by literally millions of people. If you thought Darth Vader said, "Luke, I am your father" you're wrong. If you thought it was The Berenstein Bears, you're also wrong. And nope, Ed McMahon had nothing to do with the Publishers Clearing House. It's not Smokey the Bear? Can't believe it? Neither can we. What is going on here?  We get into it all! Plus another prediction from Joestradamus. Nathan Lane - eat your heart out! The Bastards are back!  Support the show https://www.ruthstage.org/podcast.html Social Media: @officialruthstage
