In this episode, we dive into the fascinating documentary My Old School, which tells the bizarre true story of Brian MacKinnon, a 32-year-old man who managed to convince an entire school that he was a 16-year-old teen. We explore how he pulled off this extraordinary deception, the motivations behind it, and the chaos that ensued when the truth was finally uncovered. With reflections on the nature of identity, the complexities of adolescence, and the consequences of deception, we discuss the layers of this wild, real-life story that kept both his peers and teachers in the dark. Tune in for an intriguing look at one of the most bizarre cases of identity manipulation in modern history.
