On this week's episode of But Have You Heard About, Matt and I talk about Starseeds, or star people. Have you heard about this awakening? There’s a growing group of people on Earth who believe they’re aliens, or descendants of former alien interactions with humans. They are awakening to their Starseed origins and are here now to help in the transition of earth, where earth changes will precede our joining a greater star community of planets. The thought is that Starseeds originate from ...
1But have you heard about the Lager Beer Riot that occurred on April 21, 1855 in Chicago? Maybe not, unless you're really into Chicago beer or politics. On this week's episode, we are talking about an interesting combo–politics and beer in Chicago. With rising immigrants settling in developing Midwest cities like Chicago and bringing much of their home country culture and past times with them. Germans brought with them their love of brewing beer and journalism, with many setting up tavern...
Picture it: a 30 year old Michael Jordan has just won his third championship in as many years with the Chicago Bulls. He doesn't look to be stopping--and yet, he retires on October 6th, 1993 to the shock of so many. Why would the greatest athlete at that time retire? His father was murdered that summer, he had taken a physical beating in those playoff games, and emotionally he wasn't in it. All of that adds up. But...what if it had to do with the gambling stories that came out during the NBA ...
On this week's episode we are taking a little detour from fun, gripping, or little known history to dive into something a bit more…creepy? We are talking about the history of haunted and creepy dolls. What makes so many of us shiver in fear of raggedy Anne and Andy? How long have creepy dolls been...a thing? And not just dolls being creepy…but things in general being creepy. Dolls have been around for AGES, and mean a lot to many people. Whether they taught young girls skills...
Maybe you have heard about the face on Mars, or maybe this is your first time...just like Matt. Whatever the case may be, this week we cover the idea of intelligent design, aka aliens/lonely left on Mars human, in regards to the face on Mars photos. If you've never seen the photos, check out this link with a story from NASA. There are also other photos that many claim to see OTHER images in the rock formations/shadows. Matt and I talk about the conspiracy pusher, Richard Hoagland, and his cre...
When we think about the Vietnam War, most Americans think of the at home protests, Forrest Gump and other movies after the 70s that showed the war through different angles, the casualties of soldiers, forced draft and draft dodgers, PTSD and more that came with the conflict. And cue Fortunate Son by CCR with the montage. But…why was the US even involved in what was going on with Vietnam? That wasn’t in the US’s sphere of influence, like South America was, nor was Vietnam a contender in WWI or...
On this week's episode of But Have You Heard About Conspiracy Theory Edition, Matt and I go through a boat load of theories over the Titanic. From Did the Titanic sink or was it #shiptrapped and switched, to even more scientific ones like If the watertight doors had been used correctly, the Titanic would have settled on an even keel and perhaps remained afloat long enough for rescue ships to arrive. Honestly, there are so many different theories about IF the ship sank, to what caus...
But have you heard about divorce ranches? Well, they were all the rage in Reno, and helped make Vegas a vacation destination and usher in the start of casino resorts we now know Vegas for.But...what is a divorce ranch? Before the 1960s, divorce was VERY uncommon and was NOT easily obtainable for most. The time frame to go through with a divorce legally was long--about a year--and that's if you even qualified. While there were some places in the US in the early 1900s that allowed no-default di...
On this latest episode of But Have You Heard About, Matt and I discuss the more recent conspiracy theory that birds...aren't real. They're just decoys from the government to spy on us. Does it sound a bit far fetched? Well...it should. In 2017, Peter McIndoe created this preposterous idea. This came to life while at a Trump Rally; memes upon memes came from this photo. While holding his single sign of "Birds Aren't Real," he started a movement that has thousands in on the joke. For every...
The partition of India is the largest and quickest mass migration of individuals, and glossed over in history. As many formal subjects of the British Empire in what is now modern day India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh navigated to boundaries they didn't know about before August 15th of 1947, violence that many in Britain never expected erupted across the area. Many families were forever separated--not like there was a cell phone to call, nor did you know WHERE your family was going to sett...
On this latest conspiracy theory episode, Matt and I discuss a two part theory:Was Walt Disney frozen? And did the Disney company create the Frozen movie franchise intentionally to mess up the algorithm from individuals searching online so when they type "frozen Disney" they see the movie, not the rumors and theories about Walt's body being frozen back in 1966?When Walt died in 1966, the rumors started about him being frozen due to a few reasons. One, someone was announced to have been frozen...
Many know the story about Emmett Till; a 15 year old Black child visiting Mississippi where he was kidnapped, tortured and abused by two men for supposedly offending a white woman. His body was recovered three days later in the Tallahatchie river, barely recognizable. His mother then held an open casket funeral back home in Chicago so the world could see what happened to her child. The two men, Roy Bryant (the husband of the offended white woman, Carolyn Bryant), and JW Milam, were charged an...
As the world slowly burns and some of us are just continuing to exist, I decided to go back to podcasting vs doom scrolling social media again. I hope you learn things from these upcoming podcasts I have lined up for you, as well as escape whatever may be happening in your life. Yours in historical facts and memes,CourtneyThe Dakota 38 subject is a dark historical part of US history. The execution of 38 East Dakota tribesman on December 26, 1862 is the largest mass execution in this coun...
But have you heard about H. H. Holmes? He was a serial killer, and fraudster that was active in the late 1800s, and is most widely known for his murder hotel in Chicago that he mostly used during the 1893 World's Fair. Herman Webster Mudgett, better known as Dr. Henry Howard Holmes or H. H. Holmes, was an American con artist, murderer, and trigamist, the subject of more than 50 lawsuits in Chicago alone. he was born in 1861, and later died by hanging in 1896 (or did he 🤔.) Holmes moved ...
It's been awhile, did you miss the random history? Hope so!So if you know what a time ball is, you know it's now new at all. But, it is space, time, ships, and timing a ball. Joined by Trisha, we go over what a time ball is, where it originated from, and we discuss the most famous one of them all--the New Year's Eve time-ball in Times Square in New York City.And also go over some of the history of New Year's Eve in Time Square, because I can't talk about science things without some histo...
Have you ever gone down a rabbit hole? Like, you had intentions to explore topic A (in my case, conservatorship in the US), but then find out about topic B (headrights, oil, and murder in Oklahoma)?If you haven't heard about the Reign of Terror associated with the Osage people, you aren't alone. This is definitely part of America's dark history; a story of greed, corruption, oil, and money in the early 20th century. Coined "The Reign of Terror" by news outlets, this is sadly one of many stori...
This is probably the most recently developed conspiracy theory we've covered on this show, and it's honestly just ableism. The vast majority of people know about Helen Keller and how she learned to communicate with Anne Sullivan after becoming blind and deaf. However, there was a weird trend on TikTok saying how Helen Keller was faking it. Like... What?What most likely started out as a joke video has turned into Gen Z and younger saying she was faking her disability. Matt and I expl...
I've been asked a few times now to do an episode over the Uyghurs or Uighurs. Because my knowledge of Chinese history a part from overall world history and interactions on the international stage is so limited, I was hesitant. But, I did research, and still cannot pronounce a thing. In this solo episode, I go over the history of the Uighurs--where are they located, their ethnicity, religion, their overall culture--and then their history of interactions with China starting in the early 20...
In this new episode, I sit down with Tyler to talk about the history of the German Beer Purity Law. What is it, why does it exist, and does it even matter anymore? All great questions that I hope we actually covered. Alcohol and religion seem to have an interesting relationship; during the Middle Ages and then some, monks would unknowingly brew beer and hand it out to travelers because drinking water from a river could legitimately give you a disease that would kill you. While brewers di...
Have you ever thought something seemed maybe a bit...off? Do you swear movies existed that maybe never did? Well, have we got a podcast for you!What exactly is the Mandela Effect? The Mandela Effect is a conspiracy theory term used for false memories; many believe that these slight different memories in mass amounts of the population can indicate that glitch in the Matrix idea, or that we're in a simulation. "In psychology, a false memory is a phenomenon where someone recalls something ...
