Deep dives
Disney's Frozen and Marketing Strategy
One conspiracy theory discussed in the podcast involves Disney naming the movie 'Frozen' strategically to divert search results from Walt Disney and freezing, debunking the myth about Walt Disney's frozen head under the Disney Castle. This tactic is likened to Taylor Swift attending Jets games to overshadow news about her gas consumption. Such marketing strategies aim to appeal beyond traditional demographics.
Glitter Conspiracy and Industry Secrets
The podcast delves into the mystery surrounding the glitter industry, particularly the undisclosed major buyer of glitter. Speculations range from strip clubs to military applications like missile chaff. The secrecy adds intrigue, with theories suggesting reasons behind the industry's reluctance to reveal the primary users of glitter, leading to amusing speculations and humorous interpretations.
Existence of a Hidden Planet in Our Solar System
The intriguing discussion around a possible hidden planet in the solar system sparks curiosity. While the existence of such a planet is not confirmed, theories suggest its presence impacting orbital dynamics. The podcast explores various conceptions about this hidden celestial body, adding a touch of mystery and scientific wonder to the cosmic discourse.
Traffic Barrel Conspiracy and Department of Transportation
A lighthearted yet thought-provoking theory presented in the podcast involves the US Department of Transportation allegedly purchasing excess traffic barrels and leaving them unused by the roadside due to storage constraints. This humorous speculation points towards government inefficiency or deliberate actions to justify ongoing construction projects, providing a quirky lens on bureaucratic practices.
Brandon Sanderson and Dan Wells meet in secret to talk about the deep truths of the world. From the Dino's who built the pyramid to who is buying all the glitter, join us for this eye opening talk on Intentionally Blank!
