  • The U.S. Government Killed 10K People with Alcohol - REWIND
    Originally released April 11, 2022. Bootlegging was an inevitable result of 1920s Prohibition in the U.S. And when the government tried to solve the problem, they ended up with a solution that killed at least 10,000 Americans through poisoned, denatured industrial ethyl-alcohol. In this episode, we tell the story and then talk with Comedian Leslie Battle!

  • Bucket List: The Internet Can’t Believe This Mandela Effect - REWIND
    Originally released February 28, 2022. The Internet has been blowing up recently with people who can't believe this claim: That the phrase "Bucket List" originated with the 2007 Rob Reiner buddy film of the same name. In an apparent "Mandela Effect," or mass false memory, everyone seems to think they've been using the phrase in their lives long before 2007. In this episode, we talk about other examples of the Mandela Effect, and find out the truth about the origin of the "Bucket List." Then we play the quick quiz with Comedian Lisa Berry!

  • The Most Kissed Girl in the World - REWIND
    Originally released Sept. 20, 2021. When the Laerdal Toy Company was tasked with creating the very first mannequin for practicing CPR, they used a familiar face - it was that of "L'Inconnue de la Seine" - a famous mask supposedly cast from an unknown drowning victim discovered in the River Seine in the late 1880s. In this episode, we explore the strange case and then talk to Comedian and Author Dan Wilbur for the Quick Quiz!

  • Mutiny in Space - The 1973 Skylab Incident
    In 1973, the three astronauts aboard Skylab 4 staged NASA’s first (and only) space mutiny, rebelling against an overwhelming workload and mission control’s rigid oversight. For one dramatic day, they cut off communications, taking time to enjoy the view of Earth and reset their own schedule. When contact was reestablished, tensions ran high—but what happened next changed how NASA handled astronaut workloads forever. In this episode, we tell the story and then chat with Comedian and Actor Elyssa Phillips!

  • Bat Bombs: A Crazy Military Idea that ALMOST Happened
    During World War II, the U.S. military developed a top-secret plan to unleash thousands of bats carrying tiny incendiary bombs over Japan, using their natural roosting instincts to ignite entire cities. The idea was bizarre—but in testing, it worked a little too well, with one fiery accident nearly turning the experiment into a disaster. In this episode, we talk about the Bat Bomb program, then play the quiz game with Jonathan Burns!  Review this podcast at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-internet-says-it-s-true/id1530853589 Bonus episodes and content available at http://Patreon.com/MichaelKent For special discounts and links to our sponsors, visit http://theinternetsaysitstrue.com/deals
