Have you ever been absolutely certain about a famous movie line, a song lyric, or a TV show moment—only to find out you remembered it all wrong? On this week’s Absurdist Show, Mary Murphy and Marlo Anderson dive deep into the curious world of the Mandela Effect, where collective false memories leave us questioning everything we thought we knew.

From Star Wars and its iconic “Luke, I am your father” (spoiler: that’s not the line) to the Monopoly Man’s missing monocle and Forrest Gump’s subtle phrasing tweak, Mary and Marlo uncover the most shocking Mandela Effect moments that have fooled us for decades. Whether it’s Mr. Rogers, The A-Team, or even Queen’s “We Are the Champions”, no corner of pop culture is safe from misremembered history.

And it doesn’t stop there. Marlo shares hilarious stories, including a whistle-blowing scam-busting escapade and insights into Star Trek history, while Mary challenges our understanding of classics like Casablanca and Risky Business (wait… Tom Cruise didn’t wear sunglasses?!).

To top it off, prepare for a good laugh as the pair share the most absurdly misheard song lyrics—because “Hold Me Closer, Tony Danza” just might become your new favorite version of Elton John’s classic.
