(00:07):
Okay.
are you guys?
Good, how are you?
Good.
so this episode's gonna be pretty fun.
So have you ever questioned your own memory or stumbled upon a secret so wild you can'tunsee it?
Today we're diving into mind-bending misremembrances, anonymous confessions, and one morething that'll have you questioning reality itself.
So buckle up, it's gonna be a trip.
(00:28):
All right, Krista do you wanna start us off?
Sure.
I went to San Diego a couple weeks ago and I did the tourist thing and we stumbled upon amuseum called the Museum of Us.
this one exhibition really stuck out to me and it was called Post Secret.
it was thousands of postcards that were anonymously mailed.
(00:50):
to this one gentleman and it were secrets that range from funny to really serious and likealmost kind of scary type secrets that you're scared to tell anybody.
But the good thing about it is it's anonymous.
when we walked into the exhibition, there was a little explanation on how...
(01:11):
these came about and what to expect and it said someone is gonna tell you their mostpersonal secret.
Each of these postcards were handmade by someone who needed to send their secret out intothe world.
It needed to be shared.
We ask that as you read these cards, remember the real people and lives behind thesewords.
Have a sense of humor, a perspective, be understanding, have an open mind and heart.
(01:35):
Do you wanna know my secret?
Millions of people have shared these secrets as part of the post-secret project.
The power is not in the actual postcards, but it's in the conversations that it starts.
They spark actions and they also inspire people.
it went on to saying like secrets are basically the currency of intimacy.
(01:56):
And if you find that one person that you can tell those deep dark secrets to,
you have that actual person that you can trust fully.
this website is that Avenue that people are allowed to express their secrets anonymously.
They're deeply relatable and personable.
They allow us to feel alone, but together we feel alone.
Like if you go on the website and
(02:17):
to send your personal deepest darkest secrets through an email?
That's a little scary.
you can create an actual postcard, like an actual, like you can do a collage, you can senda picture of yourself.
I'll show you some here in a minute of the different types that they've sent in.
This website is actually the most visited non-advertisement blog and they've had over abillion visits and views.
(02:45):
so there's a lot of secrets out there.
Oh, goodness.
Yeah.
mean, this guy, Frank Warren is the one that created it.
He created it in 2004.
He worked at a, suicide hotline.
And this kind of motivated him to start this because he said that people needed an archiveof our hidden selves.
(03:08):
So he started off.
with 3,000 postcards and literally walked along the street and handed them out to peopleand said, hey, do you have a secret that you wanna share anonymously?
My address is on here, you can mail it to me and I will collect them as an archive.
And he called it an archive of our hidden selves, which I thought was pretty cool.
(03:29):
Wow.
that this appealed more to younger people than older people and women were more, willingto do this of course, because women are more sensitive and they share secrets more
willingly than men.
Well, men are probably still afraid they're gonna get caught.
Well, yeah, I mean, yeah, they're going to probably end up signing their name orsomething, you know, like, yeah.
(03:52):
yeah.
when I was watching the video about him, he might've been in his mid late forties.
So he's probably in his sixties.
I don't think so.
Well, I take it back.
He's had six books published.
he takes the most memorable postcards and he just puts it in the book pictures of them.
And he publishes it and he publishes one secret of his own every single time in his book.
(04:15):
And he's had seven exhibitions.
And he gets postcards every day to his personal mailbox at his house.
That's where he collects them.
he has this whole office of all these postcards.
He has a card catalog that you see at the library.
he has the drawers that are, you know, are titled
And he's gotten secrets from every single continent.
(04:37):
What do you think he does if he gets something like a murder confession or, yeah?
nothing he can do.
I mean, they're all anonymous.
So there are a few that suck out to me.
I don't have any pictures of them, but it says, I am a lot better before you know me.
Isn't that kind of sad?
(04:57):
Yeah.
I know.
I told my daughter that the ice cream truck only played music when it was out of icecream.
I mean sometimes that's, you gotta do what you gotta do to avoid some conflict.
know, nothing like being out of ice cream for a little child.
know this one says I rescheduled a business conference so I wouldn't miss my dog'sbirthday.
(05:19):
That's funny.
So here's a picture of what I saw when I walked into the exhibition.
these are all postcards.
I mean, it was up to the ceiling.
It was crazy.
And then this one, another shelf of all the postcards.
Wow.
So you can just pull them out and read them?
have, yeah, that they must have a lot of secrets.
(05:40):
but they were actually like little clipboards that had the postcards clipped to it.
They had catalogs you could just kind of flip through it.
It was really cool.
So this is what he, hello, upside down.
So this is kind of how it says be brief, be creative, let the postcard be your canvas.
(06:02):
So that's what it looks like.
So in this one it says,
one time I got so mad at my husband that I went out to the garage and beat up my son'spinata and then told him that daddy accidentally ran over it.
These are great.
And then look how creative that one is.
And that one says, I work in a government office and when I get work that I don't want todo, I shred it.
(06:26):
Yeah, I know, right.
Somebody call Doge.
This one, these are elevator doors.
It says, pressed the door close button.
I just pretended I didn't see you.
That's funny.
I've done that.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
my goodness.
So look at all those faces, you recognize them?
(06:48):
yeah.
Nick Lachey.
So this one says, one of these men is the father of my son.
He pays me a lot to keep it a secret.
my gosh.
I know.
This one?
Yeah, I give decaf coffee to people who are rude.
give deep calf to customers who are rude to me.
(07:08):
That's very common.
In the hospitality industry, if it's after an event, everybody's getting decaf even thoughthey think they're not.
This one's just, this one's just the basic one, but it says, I'm getting weight losssurgery next month.
And what scares me the most about it isn't the dangers of the complications, but that Iwill finally find out whether people dislike me because I was fat or if they just hated my
(07:32):
personality.
Yeah.
And this one's right.
This one's really pretty looking.
Yeah, that's pretty.
secrets that I've never told anyone.
it is my biggest fear and my greatest desire to find someone I trust enough to share allof them.
And then this one, this one's really neat.
Dear birth mother, I have great parents.
(07:53):
I've found love.
I'm happy.
Aww.
This one's kind of like...
so...
Twin Towers?
Everyone who knew me before 9-11 believes I'm dead.
What?
I know, right?
Ooh, that gave me chills.
watching this podcast and you think somebody died that's a loved one or a friend, maybeyou can research it.
(08:14):
This one says my ex told me to lose weight so I lost him.
Good, good.
That shouldn't be a secret.
No.
And this one, have not discovered my life's purpose and I am upset that I can't figurethis out.
I feel like a lot of people can relate to that.
all of us.
And then this one, I am terrified that my people pleaser personality will keep me fromchasing my dreams.
(08:36):
Again, I know a lot of people that could relate to that.
And this one is the last one.
This one, my older neighbor let the weeds grow knee high in his yard.
It looked terrible.
Then he died and it dawned on me that he just needed help.
I'm sorry.
I know, right?
Alright, well yeah, and there's some really crazy other ones.
I believe he posts new ones every Sunday.
(08:59):
He's still doing it, so yeah, it's cool.
post the link to the website where you can go see them in the details of the episode.
email him.
Yeah, I think that's great.
I love that.
I think there was a guy that has a secret.
Well, his secret wasn't kept very long because he got busted.
But that's what my story is about.
(09:20):
Brad Sigman is going to be the first person in 15 years to die by firing squad on Fridayin South Carolina.
Yes.
So apparently what he did, he's 67 years old.
And he beat his ex-girlfriend's parents to death with a baseball bat.
They were in two separate rooms.
And he just went back and forth beating them until they died.
(09:43):
And that was in 2001.
So he was sentenced to death.
so he's going to be killed by firing squad.
There are three people in the firing squad room.
They're behind a wall.
I guess they must stick.
the gun through a hole so nobody can see the people that are shooting so it's completelyanonymous.
That's like old school, right?
(10:04):
Didn't they do that in the back in the olden days?
They used to do that.
yeah, yeah, but apparently it's becoming more popular because they get to choose.
Do they want a lethal injection?
Do they want the electric chair or do you want firing squad?
It seems so archaic to me, but.
the quickest way, right?
(10:24):
mean...
No, I would do the lethal injection.
But isn't there like three steps to that?
Well, there are three steps, plus sometimes people linger on for about 20 minutes beforetheir body just shuts down.
It just depends on how receptive you are to the pentabarbital.
But also, the problem with people choosing to be dying by a lethal injection is that thesedrug companies do not want to send the drugs to them because they don't want to be known
(10:50):
as killers, which is what they are.
And so, yeah.
kind of ridiculous.
So just three inmates in Utah have faced firing squad since 1976.
But more and more states are accepting that as a not cruel and unusual punishment.
Apparently, they put a hood over the inmates' head, so we can't see anything, they givethem pent-a-barbatol, which a...
(11:13):
It relaxes them and puts them kind of asleep.
So basically, probably sounds kind of really drowsy and half asleep.
Yeah, it's pretty strong though.
If you get too much of a dose, you can die from it.
So they get that and they then put the hood over.
They shoot him, they put a target on their heart so that the guys are shooting or thepeople, could be a woman too.
(11:37):
The three people are shooting directly for the heart because then he'll die, they'll diethe quickest.
It's this Friday night, the 7th at 6 p.m.
So just before that, they do all the stuff where they check and make sure that he'shealthy and let him say his last words and all the kind of things.
He tried to delay the execution because he wanted to make sure that the person, lastperson that they did it to was given penobarbital, but they haven't received the autopsy
(12:03):
yet.
they're, I'm like, how is this, yeah.
why would you choose that one?
He said, it will burn and cook me alive.
He must've watched a green mile.
Remember that part on the green mile?
You should be burned alive.
(12:24):
think we're dealing with a rocket scientist here.
I think he had a long history of a bad raising and, you know, and he said he was mentallyill, which I would think you'd have to be somewhat mentally ill to beat people to death
with a baseball bat.
But he said if he couldn't have his girlfriend, nobody was going to have his girlfriend orher parents.
Apparently she got out of the car.
(12:45):
He tried to kill her.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know.
too?
Mm-hmm.
She got out of the car.
She was able to get away from him.
He'd shot at her, but he missed.
Sounds like he should have written a couple of postcards prior to making these baddecisions.
But it's this Friday night, and I just, think it's a crazy day.
I don't think so, but they only stand 15 feet away.
(13:08):
They're 15 feet away.
And South Carolina built this whole death chamber.
So the electric chair is in the room where the firing squad chair is.
And the firing squad chair is literally just a chair where he sits with a black thing overhis head and a bull's eye on his heart.
And it has a catch pan, a drip pan, so that the blood, whatever, is going to come runningout of his body.
(13:28):
It's just so crazy to me to think that we're talking about putting people on Mars and themoon, and we're still shooting people to death for what's that?
Did they say what kind of guns they're using?
that makes sense.
Yeah.
Yeah.
it's just crazy that you're right.
I mean, it's 2025.
I mean, so is it part of that?
Like the showman of it?
(13:48):
Like, these are your options, you know?
don't know, why don't they just shoot him with heroin?
mean, people die every day with fentanyl and heroin.
Why is this Fina Barbotol stuff such a big deal?
Right.
Yeah, exactly.
It's like when your kids are growing up and you know the kids specifically.
I mean, I have three boys and one of them just wants to be outside playing all the time.
(14:10):
And so if he's in trouble, then he's definitely going to his room to sit there and thinkabout it.
And the other one wants to sit in his room, play video games.
So he's getting the beating.
Like why you let them choose?
You gotta, you know?
Yeah.
so do you guys think that the punishment should fit the crime?
Yeah, I'm all for castration.
You diddle a kid, you get your nuts cut off.
I'm all for that.
(14:32):
Yeah, yeah, gosh, can you imagine having to do that though?
The shooters have to go through some mental training and going to make sure that they'reokay and they're not gonna get PTSD knowing that they shot somebody that couldn't get
away.
Well, that's true.
I guess you don't really think of it like that,
yeah, I don't know that I could actually lob somebody's nuts off or shoot them, but
(14:53):
think they should allow the family to do it.
Honestly.
they probably wouldn't, would they?
I I wouldn't be able to shoot the guy even though he, I mean.
beat your parents with a baseball bat?
Yeah, it was 20, 24 years ago, so I don't know, maybe she's.
them sit in jail for that long.
I mean, that's ridiculous.
and apparently South Carolina put $55,000 or something into building this room.
(15:17):
$54,000 in 2024 to construct an area for the firing squad in its death chamber is whatit's called.
And there's bulletproof glass for the witnesses.
mean, can you imagine sitting there?
I'm like, sure, sign me up.
I would love to go watch somebody get shot to death.
No.
shooting with a rifle, mean, that's not like a clean shot.
(15:39):
That's not like a.
is going to explode.
Just gonna just.
And whatever bullets they're using is designed to do that.
It's designed to enter the body and, and go everywhere, you know?
So basically, no, no, but, but, but, but the people that are watching can see him beingshot.
(16:00):
Yes.
Yes.
Bulletproof glass, but the audience can it's a, and I mean, they have journalists in thereand yeah.
Yikes.
Ugh.
He said he did not choose a lethal injection because witnesses to the three previousexecutions since the state moved to using massive doses of pentobarbital have said that
(16:20):
even though the condemned prisoners appeared to stop breathing and moving in a fewminutes, they were not declared dead for 20 minutes.
So why can't they just give them fentanyl?
Like, I mean, if it's as bad as they say, why wouldn't they just do that?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
I don't get it.
One guy, one guy, one guy, name's Freddy Owen.
pick up the most humane way of dying?
(16:42):
Come on, come on, why?
Let him get...
first inmate killed with the new protocols, but he refused an autopsy for religiousreasons.
I'm sure.
Refute what?
The autopsy for the drugs?
Yeah, because he doesn't want an autopsy for religious reasons.
His religion doesn't let him.
Yeah, but he let him kill or rape or whatever he was in there for.
(17:05):
I think it's crazy story.
know, I'm trying to, when doing my research for this week's podcast, I'm trying to findlike, you know, crazy stories.
just some stuff you just can't make up.
I would not have thought I was going to stumble on a news report stating that there isgoing to be a death by firing squad.
(17:26):
I mean,
No.
like Django kind of stuff, you know?
my God.
So mine is the Mandela effect.
you guys know what it is, right?
No.
Not really.
so the Mandela effect is when you truly believe that something happened like Ed McMahon inthe Publishers Clearinghouse.
everybody saw Ed McMahon.
(17:49):
No.
Right, that's the Mandela effect.
I mean, specifically remember him going to people's homes, holding balloons with a bigcheck.
They're saying it absolutely never happened.
Exactly.
here's here's some other ones that are just crazy.
So Scooby Doo, remember Shaggy?
Do you ever remember him having like a big Adam's apple?
(18:10):
have heard about this.
Yes, okay, yep.
doesn't have an Adam's apple.
There's nothing.
The Wizard of Oz, remember when the Wicked Witch sends her monkeys off to go after Dorothyand she says, fly my pretty's fly?
She never said that.
She said, fly, fly, fly.
She never said, fly my pretty's fly.
I can honestly say that I remember that.
(18:32):
Like I'm gonna have to watch the movie again because I remember that.
Why?
So what causes this?
It's like a glitch in the universe.
It's the Mandela effect where whether someone said it differently at one time or somethinglike that.
Is Danny researching this right now?
And you know what, I'm sorry, because I figured you guys had heard about it or else Iwould have pulled up more information about it.
(18:53):
The Monopoly guy is the one I heard about.
Sorry.
to my stuff.
Colby told me about this.
the next one I have is, remember the movie Shazam where Sinbad played a genie?
Never happened.
There's no such movie of it.
Find it, find it now, see if you can find it.
So.
just took it off because Sinbad died in real life.
(19:17):
My kids watched it.
We watched it.
I'm not crazy.
I watched it with my children.
Shazam?
Is that not?
That's not sharp.
Tunes is Looney Tunes, T-U-N-E-S, not T-O-O-N-S, like you would think it would be forcartoons, T-O-O-N-S.
The Monopoly Man was my next one that Danny stole from me.
(19:40):
He does not have a monocle, but they said that people sometimes confuse him with Mr.
Planet's
Yeah.
Yeah.
Double stuffed Oreos.
The stuff is spelled S-T-U-F, not S-T-U-F-F.
C3PO has a silver leg.
Yeah, his right leg, the bottom of his right leg is silver.
(20:03):
He's not all gold.
You know, I never noticed that.
I'm a big Star Wars fan and I've never...
right the next
with their little people and they always had two gold legs.
Yeah, I guess in the movie he has half of a silver leg.
Risky business, Tom Cruise's big scene when he slides out.
(20:23):
No, he doesn't have sunglasses on.
hmm.
I don't think I remember that.
I wasn't looking at the sunglasses, to be honest with you.
ha ha ha.
Tidy whities.
then.
Silence of the Lambs.
Remember when Hannibal Lecter said, hello Clarice?
He never said it.
He said, good morning.
my god.
Well, I'm watching Silence of the Lambs tonight.
(20:46):
what does the big-bagged wolf say to the three little pigs?
I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down.
Or in.
In.
It's blow your house in.
I think I do know, I think it is in.
Is that not crazy?
mean, and there were so many other ones that you're sitting there thinking like, there'sno way that this is true.
Like this is just some, you know what, and that's my fault.
(21:11):
I think it was something about when he died.
There was something about.
this is about what's okay.
This is based on him.
Okay, got it.
But yeah, it's just crazy, because when you look back at these, the other one was likeKitKat.
So people think there's a hyphen between KitKat and there isn't.
(21:33):
I'm trying to think of what else was on there that are just, you're sitting there thinkinglike I've totally lost my mind.
But I mean, Ed McMahon.
Like that one.
is crap.
We need to get the things in the mail, no?
And you'd go through 25 pages and buy all the magazines and...
Well, there was Publishers Clearinghouse, but it wasn't he.
(21:54):
He never went to people's he and I, God, sorry.
I even think I remember seeing his picture on like the Publishers Clearinghouse thing, theenvelope, but apparently not.
Maybe we think of star search.
That wasn't Ed McMahon, was it?
God, okay.
You guys are dating us, so could you please stop that?
(22:16):
I know that really please stop that.
All right, so now we're going to move on to.
boy.
I love that.
That's funny.
All right, Krista then what do you got?
Well, I had one of course and I can't remember it, but I did think of another one.
This is BS that it costs so much to be healthy.
(22:39):
Mmm.
I was thinking about that this morning.
to supplement yoga or something into my workout schedule and it's so freaking expensive.
I need another job just to pay for my gym memberships and supplements and all thisnonsense.
Yeah, so it's bullshit.
(23:02):
A class, yeah, yeah.
does work, but you're right, that is BS.
you know, it's capitalism, I guess, you know, but you're right, it is expensive.
What's that nature balance of nature that you always see those commercials and the guythat started it, he's like, I didn't start balance of nature to make it a company.
Well, then I'm like, well, then why the hell is it $160 a person for a month?
(23:26):
Yeah.
Don't tell me you didn't start that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, no.
I agree that is BS.
My BS is I just moved here about a year and a half ago.
This will be my second March and all the weather.
The season change for Florida happens in March.
I have already raked my yard three times, filled up 85 cans and Lord help me if those cansare over 50 pounds, because then they just leave it for the next week.
(23:53):
And I'm like, dude, you know it's going to rain and my leaves are going to be wet and thecan is going to be even heavier.
Not to mention I'm literally shoving pollen, shoveling pollen off of my driveway.
Now it's better than shoveling snow and I will give them that, but
I have never seen so much pollen in my entire life and it happens in the 30 day period inMarch all of the season.
(24:16):
And that is BS.
Try driving a black car.
Yeah, I know I had one.
It's pretty bad.
White's pretty bad too.
We should have known each other before you moved down here.
I would have told you never buy a house with a bunch of oak trees around it.
I live in Woodland Park.
I have five oak trees in my yard.
They are the bane of my existence.
yeah, if I'm not worried about them getting blown onto the house during hurricanes, I'mraking leaves constantly in March.
(24:44):
So that's my BS.
backyard was, we took out nine oak trees in our backyard, in our side yard.
And it was.
probably cost you $15,000 to do it.
It was a little cheaper than that because we had one that fell into our neighbor's lanaiand but that's like, I can't stand it.
We have the one out front still that's beautiful.
And you know, there's no way Jamie's ever going to get rid of that.
(25:06):
But once we got rid of all of it, and we have no leaves in our backyard, we have no shade,but we have no leaves in our backyard now.
my god.
All right, these things are getting thrown away.
Jesus.
though that it's liberating to not have to currently we don't have a cage due to HurricaneMilton.
So we're just constantly.
Swimming.
(25:28):
But I'm in Florida and the weather is amazing and yeah, I have one other short.
It's a little political BS story and we can get into it next time.
I can't get away with not doing it because it's really, really driving me nuts.
I just.
think it is total BS that Casey DeSantis, by the way her name is Jill, she goes by Casey,Casey DeSantis thinks that she's qualified to be the governor just because she is the
(25:54):
governor's wife.
I think there are plenty of qualified people who can be the governor of Florida and itreally chaps my hide that she thinks that she should be running for governor.
You know, and I do not want to take anything away from Governor DeSantis, he is definitely
one of, if not the best governors of all time, but that doesn't mean his wife is qualifiedto be governor.
(26:16):
So that is my BS story.
Sorry.
Sorry, not sorry.
That's okay.
All right, so my BS story is that you can't twist your head around to see your back.
Like it.
a mom, you can.
You got your eyes in the back of your head.
cannot, like I wanna be able to turn around and be like, okay, my butt looks good in thosepants or this is just not flattering at all, right?
(26:40):
to be an owl.
Owls can turn their heads all the way around.
like I like I this is why I know that God has a sense of humor because he does things likethis where yeah, we're gonna we're gonna give you a but that like men, you know, men drool
over asses, but we're not gonna let you see it.
But the whole entire world is gonna see it but you
think God does the opposite.
(27:00):
I think he doesn't want me to see my butt full on like that because then I'm not going towear anything.
I'll never leave the house.
I did see a secret where this man submitted, it said, I don't open doors for women to bepolite.
And then he had a little picture of his license plate, said, as man, ass man.
geez.
(27:20):
He's not being very anonymous there.
a door for you.
Be wary what he's looking at.
not getting the good end of that deal.
My other one that goes along with it is I would love to be able to take my arms off atnight.
So like if I'm laying on my one side, what do you do with your arm?
sometimes your arms just don't know where to go.
it would be nice just to be able to set it on the nightstand and be like, okay, I'm gonnaroll this way, right?
(27:42):
off like a Barbie doll.
you gotta sleep on your back.
It's better for us anyway.
We're supposed to sleep on our back.
Yeah, yeah.
Supposed to be doing that.
This is a really good podcast.
I think it was fun.
