Yet another auditory descent into the labyrinth of misinformation, where childhood rumors reign supreme, and logic is left crying in a corner! Chris and Jeff unearth the unhinged origins of some of history’s dumbest, most bizarre urban legends—from the infamous “Paul is Dead” debacle that had 12-year-olds playing records backward like deranged vinyl wizards, to the chilling truth (?) about Mr. Rogers’ alleged secret past. Along the way, they crack the case of “The Beaver’s” fake demise, revisit the feverish hunt for an immortal Elvis, and confirm that Eddie Haskell was probably not a porn star. Oh, and for the grand finale? A decades-old mystery is solved: why did those terrible plastic Halloween costumes have a giant picture of the character right on the chest? Get ready to have your mind aggressively expanded by the least reliable detectives in pop culture history!
