#13 - Free Will and Mardi Gras

What this episode covers

Co-hosts Chris Wright and Graeson Korte explore some new topics in this episode. Chris presents arguments both for and against free will (as Graeson ignored him and did "more important" things in the background). The two also celebrate International Women's day. Chris was going to read a few lines from the "Vagina Monologues," but Graeson thought that would be a bad idea. Chris also thought of a great idea for a psychology experiment based on the old phrase "if you don't know-teach". Chris recently got into some research regarding the so-called "Mandela Effect" and went about disproving it. It's based on the idea that some people have the false memory of remembering that Nelson Mandela died during his imprisonment despite the fact that he became president of South Africa years later. The pseudoscience explanation is that a parallel universe (one where he did die in prison), has collided with our own and left that memory with some people. There are other examples of this conspiracy such as the Berenstain Bears. Chris' fish, Lenny Bruce, is now a Satan worshiper. The guys honor many holidays including Mardi Gras, Carnival, International Women's Day, and Ash Wednesday.
