14: Drunk in the Matrix: The Ultimate Glitch in the Matrix Drinking Game || Reddit Glitch in the Matrix Stories

For today's episode, we did something deeply unwise…

We turned the Glitch in the Matrix stories into a drinking game, and the universe absolutely punished us for it.

In this chaotic After Dark episode of Overheard Online, Erin & Sara read some of Reddit’s weirdest, most mind-bending stories - from time slips and Mandela-effect moments to doppelgängers, shadow figures, parallel lives, and full-on reality breaks - while following a set of rules that guaranteed instant disaster.

Every time a time slip, a doppelgänger, or shadow figures is mentioned, they both drink. If someone describes seeing a light, floating, or a tunnel, they drink. Any time theres a tech issue, anyone doubts a story, they have goosebumps, they both drink...

Spoiler: it escalates FAST.

🥂 OFFICIAL DRINKING GAME RULES:

• Time Slip → BOTH drink

• Doppelgänger → BIG sip waterfall

• “I have chills” / “I have goosebumps” → That person drinks

• Erin mentions aphantasia → Erin drinks

• Sara mentions her boyfriend → Sara drinks

• Expressing doubt → drink

• Tech glitch → BOTH drink waterfall

• Light / tunnel / floating mentioned → BOTH drink

• Shadow figures / silhouettes → BIG sip waterfall

• Feeling peaceful while dying → Sara drinks

• Interrupting the story → both drink

…We told you it was a disaster.
