#32 The anomaly [S3E13]

Author: Jesse Chapman, Chris Newth, Kyle Maddock, Tiffany Prasifka, Mark Walberg August 7, 2018 Duration: 52:50

This is the season 3 finale! Will Mark win season three as he has with the previous two seasons? Will Chris get all five stories correct, as he’s never done in the history of this show?

Story 1: The Dealer—a shady blackjack dealer discovers the cards are stacked against him when a soldier sits down at his table.

  • Jesse doesn’t understand why the ghost would go through with this elaborate plan #GMEP
  • Chris doesn’t buy that the ghost would wait decades to come back and seek his revenge.

Story 2: Gratuity—a cab driver installs an insult machine for people who do not tip well, but fate steps in alongside a particular passenger.

  • The group discusses the pros and cons of tipping.
  • Everyone is surprised why this man isn’t fired.

Story 3: The Cake—a baker witnesses a frightening premonition after a mobster orders him to bake a special cake.

  • It’s very possible that this is just based on a mob hit.
  • Kyle thinks the baker is just stressed due to his dealings with the mob.

Story 4: 1st Time Offender—when a boy is arrested for theft, the judge lets him off with a warning, but only until a moment that’s beyond belief changes his mind.

  • This could just be a coincidence-based story.
  • Kyle thinks maybe this happened a long time ago.

Story 5: The Mirror of Truth—a beautician curses a vain woman, causing her to appear hideous.

  • Could be a psychological issue.
  • Could be a story that takes place in a different time.
  • Could be ripped off from The Twilight Zone.

The story results are revealed.

  • Chris is a statistical anomaly.
  • To find out which stories are fact and which are fiction… you must listen to the podcast, or check out the full episode below or on Amazon Prime.

The Season 3 results are revealed.

  •  Chris wins season 3! And the coin is a close second.


Remember that strange, late-night show where a host in a trench coat presented bizarre tales, leaving you to guess which were real and which were pure fiction? Beyond Beyond Belief dives headfirst back into that wonderfully campy world of the '90s cult classic, Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction. Each episode, Jesse Chapman, Chris Newth, Kyle Maddock, Tiffany Prasifka, and Mark Walberg gather to revisit a batch of the show's most outlandish stories. The real fun of this podcast is playing along with them as they dissect each narrative, arguing over credibility, placing their bets on fact or fiction, and getting completely sidetracked by the sheer nostalgic absurdity of it all. It's less a formal review and more like hanging out with friends who share a deep, specific affection for this peculiar slice of television history. You'll hear genuine surprise, plenty of laughs, and a lot of bewildered speculation about what the original writers were thinking. Whether you're a longtime fan of the show or just curious about its odd legacy, this comedy podcast offers a consistently entertaining blend of mystery, humor, and '90s retro charm, making each episode a guessing game wrapped in a warm blanket of nostalgia.
