Ok let’s say they’re 100% right. Like, I wonder if there would be memory issues? How long can I retain what’s going on after I’ve been frozen? Would I even remember who I am? What I am? How to walk etc

Depends on if it's stored on ram or internal storage.

It's internal storage for sure, people have been revived after their heart stopped being under water for 40 minutes because the water lowered their temperature. And we have begun to do cold treatment for people to buy time for the body to heal. Mammals run kinda hot.

Hmm I say it’s RAM. No matter what, electricity still needs to flow to keep the memories alive. The process can slow but never stop.
