- On the Musers radio morning show, Junior decided to rank the top five and bottom five people named “Jackson”. I was a little perplexed because back in October 2013 (5:09 mark) I called in asking him to do so and he delivered his ranking the following week, I just can’t find the audio of the latter. I tweeted the morning show about it and they briefly discussed it on air, but Junior said he is certain that he’s never ranked the Jacksons as he had to do research and would have remembered doing so. I’ve been asked to provide proof and haven’t had any luck looking at TheUnTicket.com and elsewhere, so I posted a request on the station’s subreddit. Someone stated they had the audio and thankfully he came through. I do love that someone referenced that this is the example of the Mandela Effect, which is basically when a broad range of people remember something a particular way but it turns out it’s incorrect. For example:
- “Mr. Monopoly” has never worn a monocle. People appear to be conflating his depiction with that of Mr. Peanut.
- In The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal Lecter never said, “Hello, Clarice.” When Clarice first meets Hannibal Lecter, he simply says, “Good morning.” That’s it.
- The Queen in Snow White never said, “Mirror, mirror on the wall.” The correct line is “Magic mirror on the wall.”
- Ed McMahon never did a commercial for Publishers Clearing House, he endorsed American Family Publishers, and he never appeared on any doorstep to surprise the winner.
- Tom Cruise didn’t wear sunglasses in that famous Risky Business dance scene.
- Curious George never had a tail.

- One of Rod Stewart’s most popular songs is “Downtown Train”, and now he’s showing off the very detailed model train set he built of an American city and inspired by his childhood home.
- It’s amazing that there’s a ship large and strong enough to lift a cruise ship out of water.
- I’ll say this about Ambassador William B. Taylor who provided testimony yesterday at the impeachment hearing, he’s got a great radio or narration voice. Actually, he would be great as a stadium announcer.
