Speaker 2 (00:02):
I was thinking about this.
Speaker 3 (00:04):
I've kind of been sitting on this for about a
week or so. Something I found it is kind of
it's an article. It's about some harmless conspiracy theories of
our time. Uh huh, because there's a world where there
were some really dangerous conspiracy theories, clearly, but about some
harmless ones, and I thought this is kind of fun. Uh.
One of them that they discussed this article was how
Starbucks baristas were told to sometimes misspelled customers names so
(00:26):
that they would post the photo on social media.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Oh their Starbucks cup. So you know, that's not.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
A conspiracy theory, that's a marketing ploy.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Yeah, but Barney, but they called me Barry, you know,
and yeah, there's the cup. It's interesting, play smart and harmless,
smart market Yeah, that's harmless, right, it's not hurting anybody.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Paul McCartney's dead.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
No, don't say that. That's not breaking news.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
It didn't hurt anybody though, But that was the idea, Like,
look at the album art. The way they're walking acros
is that crossed their barefoot? Yeah you never knew the
Paul McCartney died thing.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Oh yeah, there's a whole the cover of Abbey Road
with that Abbey Road, what's the one where they're walking.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
Across Abbey Road and that's the whole, Like I am
the wolrust song too is involved in that conspiracy.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Yeah, and that's why he is he barefoot so but
now it's like that couldn't exist in this day and
age because like, oh, I just saw him at a Starbucks.
But it's it's the blake. He's been stuck with that forever.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
You can hear him anywhere you go. You just hear
someone who makes sense. Another one is that.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Big Bread paid toaster manufacturers to put in a setting
that's too high so that people would burn the toast
and then they get to sell more bread.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I don't buy that one.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
It seems a little far fetched.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
But why do you need the toaster to have that
setting that's too high where you put it in and
it already burns.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
They view the tool to make your own toast, right, No,
I think you do it that way in case the
bread is still a little frozen.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Wait, frozen breade, Yeah, you geth on it. Speaking of frozen,
another harmless conspiracy theory the reason Disney came out with
a movie called Frozen. Is so that when you google
Disney Frozen, it doesn't show Walt Disney anymore. It doesn't
bring up the story of Walt Disney being. Of course,
(02:26):
the story of Ted Williams Frozen Head comes into play here.
