Parallel Universes, Backrooms, and AI From Beyond – The Wildest Episode Yet - Deceptive Reality Podcast S3E47

Time to buckle up. This episode takes a turn into the strange, the personal, and the flat out unexplainable. Bert and Nick kick things off with a debate about the Wildwood Sanitarium that somehow feels like a glitch in the universe. Two memories of the same place that don’t line up. One camera. One answer. And maybe more dimensional weirdness than either expected. From there, Nick dives into a story about the underground tunnels at the University of Toronto. Twisting corridors, repeating hallways, stairwells that lead to the wrong buildings, and experiences that resemble the infamous backrooms. Multiple witnesses. Multiple years. Same impossible geometry. Then things get even stranger when Bert explores a real 2025 courtroom case where AI was used to recreate a persons likeness for a statement after they passed away. What does that mean for justice, ethics, and the future of human identity? And how far is too far? The episode wraps with collectibles, laughs, and the kind of existential questions only these two can turn into entertainment.
