II. Fast Food Conspiracy Theories
A. KFC's New Dunkit Bucket
Shane kicks off the discussion by referencing a whimsical advertisement for KFC's new Dunkit bucket ([00:01]). He transitions into the main topic:
Shane Dawson ([00:36]): "Speaking of fast food theories, this one I'm so excited about because Spencer actually tried it out for us."
B. Chipotle's Name Field Theory
The central conspiracy theory explored is the idea that entering "Load it Up" in the name section of the Chipotle app could result in receiving more food than usual. Spencer takes on the experiment, ordering two bowls—one with his actual name and one with "Load it Up."
Shane Dawson ([54:17]): "There is a theory that has gone viral that if you."
The bowls are weighed to determine if the theory holds any merit. The results are presented humorously, highlighting the unlikely nature of the theory working as intended.
Shane Dawson ([55:27]): "36.2 ounces."
Morgan and Ryland Adams humorously debate the practicality and ethics of such a theory, ultimately dismissing its effectiveness.
III. Spencer's Likes
A recurring segment, "Spencer's Likes," showcases the bizarre and unsettling Instagram likes Spencer has accrued. This segment features notable moments where odd images and themes are discussed, blending humor with genuine curiosity.
Ryland Adams ([12:21]): "He's in the song."
Spencer ([13:15]): "I don't know. I just thought it was kind of weird and interesting and you liked it."
The segment delves into AI-generated content and creepy motifs, sparking both laughter and intrigue among the hosts.
IV. Cards Against Humanity Game
The group engages in a lively game of Cards Against Humanity, resulting in humorous and sometimes shocking responses. The game serves as a break from the conspiracy theories, allowing for lighthearted interactions.
Vicki ([25:04]): "What would grandma find disturbing yet oddly charming? Getting cereal killed."
Shane Dawson ([24:33]): "Hard work, dude. That is fucking emo."
The playful banter highlights the camaraderie among the hosts, providing an entertaining respite from the heavier topics.
V. True Crime Story: The Hawks and the Delions
Vicki narrates a chilling true crime story about a retired couple, Jackie and Thomas Hawks, who purchased a yacht for their retirement. They list the yacht for sale, but after selling it to a seemingly genuine couple, Skyler and Jennifer Delion, the Hawks never return. Investigations reveal that Skyler and Jennifer were deeply in debt and living in a converted garage, leading to the horrifying discovery that they had kidnapped and tortured the Hawks.
Vicki ([65:35]): "They went out to the deep seas and they never come back."
Chris ([67:20]): "They really did just torture them."
The story underscores the dangers of deceit and the importance of thorough background checks when making significant purchases.
VI. Pyramids and Dolphin Conspiracy Theories
The hosts transition into discussing two intriguing conspiracy theories—one about the pyramids and another involving dolphins.
A. Pyramids Underneath:
Chris introduces a theory about newly discovered structures beneath the pyramids, suggesting they might be ancient energy conduits designed to elevate human consciousness.
Shane Dawson ([58:17]): "They are pushing it up into the pyramid."
B. Dolphins as Superior Beings:
Drawing from historical anecdotes, the discussion shifts to John Lilly's studies on dolphins, positing that dolphins are the smartest beings on Earth and may one day rule humanity.
Spencer ([61:17]): "Dolphins will try to have sex with people."
Shane Dawson ([63:54]): "That sounds like something at Anchor Man."
These theories blend historical facts with speculative fiction, inviting listeners to ponder the mysteries of ancient structures and marine intelligence.
VII. Mountain Dew Conspiracies
Ryland Adams presents a theory linking the release of new Mountain Dew flavors to global events, suggesting a pattern where significant incidents coincide with brand launches.
Ryland Adams ([46:29]): "The witching hour theory just kind of came together right now."
Shane Dawson ([47:32]): "I don't know. Did he find connections or did he make connections that don't really make sense?"
The conversation critiques the validity of such patterns while acknowledging the hosts' fascination with conspiracy theories.
