Stranger Genes
<p>Did you know some people are literally born without the ability to feel pain, and it's actually terrifying? ...We looked into it.</p><p>Welcome to Valid Source? the podcast where we investigate the internet myths, viral claims, and trending gossip you've been thinking about but haven't had time to research. We're not experts. We're just two friends willing to do the extra digging.</p><p>This episode: Ashley comes back from a conference with a lot of new information and a lot of feelings about public speaking, Harley has been keeping a low profile because half her friend group decided to get married or have babies at the same time, and then we go full science class in the best way. Ashley breaks down real human genetic mutations that give people honest-to-goodness superpowers: Sherpas who evolved to use oxygen more efficiently at altitude, the Bajau sea nomads who can free dive for four minutes on one breath, a muscle-growth gene that some people are just born without, bones so dense X-rays can barely read them, and a color vision mutation that lets certain women see 100 million colors, which Ashley may or may not personally have, based on knowing what kelly green is. Then we get into the stuff people claim is a superpower: fake magnetism, breatharianism (which became a cult faster than either of us expected), and the scientific consensus that adult photographic memory basically doesn't exist. Ashley covers the world record breath hold and explains why the urge to breathe has nothing to do with oxygen. And then we close out with the ones that are genuinely hard to explain: past life memories studied by the University of Virginia across 2,500 cases, Project Stargate, and children with birthmarks that correspond exactly to wounds of the person they claim to have been. Because of course we did.</p><p>Valid Source? verdict on human superpowers: the genetic ones are real and deeply unfair, the fake ones are mostly dry skin and vibes, and the paranormal ones are either the scariest thing we've ever researched or the most comforting, depending on your afternoon.</p><p>linktr.ee/validsourcepod | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:validsourcepod@gmail.com">validsourcepod@gmail.com</a> | (720) 593-1668</p><p>Opinions expressed are solely those of the hosts and do not reflect any affiliated companies, employers, or sponsors.

I Feel Like We've Done This Before
<p>Did you know your brain might be gaslighting you once a month on average and scientists consider that completely normal? ...We looked into it.</p><p>Welcome to Valid Source? The podcast where we investigate the internet myths, viral claims, and trending gossip you've been thinking about but haven't had time to research. We're not experts. We're just two friends willing to do the extra digging.</p><p>This episode: Harley's car gets hit in a parking lot again and has officially become a recurring victim, Ashley got a pedicure and Harley hates feet, and somehow that leads us into one of the most universally experienced phenomena nobody can actually explain. Harley breaks down the science of déjà vu with four competing theories, zero consensus, and one Colorado State University researcher who built a literal déjà vu generator in virtual reality because of course she did. </p><p>Ashley shares a genuinely creepy personal story about a business meeting she swears she already lived through, and both hosts decide Dr. O'Connor's claim that healthy adults experience déjà vu once a month is a personal attack. We get into the history of how the term was coined, spoiler: it required a formal proposal at a French medical society meeting, which Ashley finds deeply unnecessary and then we go full conspiracy: past lives, the Matrix glitch theory, parallel universes, prophet dreams, and the idea that time isn't linear and we're all just briefly perceiving too much of it at once. We also propose that déjà vu might come from generational trauma encoded in your DNA, and we're not saying she's wrong.</p><p>Valid Source? verdict on déjà vu: real, deeply weird, studied for 150 years, and still nobody actually knows what's happening, which is honestly the most Valid Source? topic we've ever covered.</p><p>linktr.ee/validsourcepod | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:validsourcepod@gmail.com">validsourcepod@gmail.com</a> | (720) 593-1668</p><p>Opinions expressed are solely those of the hosts and do not reflect any affiliated companies, employers, or sponsors.

Talc Dirty to Me
<p>Did you know the company that made your childhood baby powder kept selling the asbestos-contaminated version overseas after pulling it here? …We looked into it.</p><p>Welcome to Valid Source? The podcast where we investigate the internet myths, viral claims, and trending gossip you've been thinking about but haven't had time to research. We're not experts. We're just two friends willing to do the extra digging.</p><p>This episode: Harley brings the Call Her Daddy / Miley Cyrus / Hannah Montana drama, and then we go full doomsday on the things the companies knew were poisoning us and sold anyway. Nonstick pans and their forever chemicals, asbestos that wasn't fully banned in the US until 2024 (well a type of it and yes, 2024), lead paint marketed directly to children via a cartoon mascot, smart home devices listening hard enough that Alexa pipes up when Ashley whispers, the Disney Plus free-trial arbitration case that you genuinely need to hear, Johnson & Johnson's talc rebrand, and Scotch Guard chemicals now found in the bloodstream of basically every human on Earth, newborns included. Because of course they are. We end on the only takeaway available: change your pans.</p><p>Valid Source? verdict on household toxins: they knew, they kept selling, and are part of your DNA now.</p><p>Heads up: This one is rough. Grab a cup of tea or coffee before you hit play, we're talking decades of corporate cover-ups, things in your house right now that probably shouldn't be, and a body count's worth of "they knew." Not crisis-level heavy, just genuinely bleak in a "wait, what" kind of way.</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://linktr.ee/validsourcepod">linktr.ee/validsourcepod</a> | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:validsourcepod@gmail.com">validsourcepod@gmail.com</a> | (720) 593-1668</p><p>Opinions expressed are solely those of the hosts and do not reflect any affiliated companies, employers, or sponsors.
