Conspiracy Theories: We Went In, and Now We’re… Paranoid?

Okay, real talk.

We thought we’d do one episode on conspiracy theories. You know, for fun. A little moon landing here, a sprinkle of flat Earth there, maybe a cheeky nod to Bigfoot running a tech startup in Silicon Valley.

But then it happened.

We looked deeper. We started connecting dots. Suddenly, every pigeon was suspicious. Every UPS truck? Too many cameras. Every time Fin blinked (which, to be clear, is never), we asked: Who’s really in control here?

Now here we are, three episodes deep into the wild world of conspiracy theories. We’ve covered the classics, the modern internet-born ones, and even the ones so weird they feel like someone lost a bet with reality.

We laughed. We gasped. We may have accidentally summoned the ghost of JFK through a haunted Reddit thread.

And while we might not believe everything we explored, we do believe this: conspiracy theories tell us something about how we see the world. They’re funny, they’re weird, they’re sometimes dangerous—but they’re also deeply human. Which is why we couldn’t stop at just one episode.

So if you haven’t listened yet, what are you waiting for? Get in here. Put on your metaphorical tinfoil hat (or a literal one, no judgment), and ride out the final chapter with us.

Because we’re not saying the truth is out there… but we’re also not not saying it, you know?

Oh—and before we let you go back to pretending your phone isn’t listening to you (it is), here’s the kicker: some of the most absurd conspiracy theories? Turned out to be true. Like, government-testing-LSD-on-people-without-their-consent true. Like, pigeons-wearing-cameras-in-the-Cold-War true. It’s all fun and games until the Freedom of Information Act hits different.

So here’s our challenge to you:
What’s the most absurd conspiracy theory you actually believe might be true?
Or better yet—what’s a real one that totally blew your mind when you found out it wasn’t made up? Drop it in the comments, DM us, or scream it into a mirror at midnight (just tag us if you do).

Let’s get weird. One last time.
