Believe? is a podcast all about the world's craziest conspiracy theories, or are they crazy? Each episode comedians Phil Green and David Ferguson invite a guest to pick their favourite conspiracy theory and then try to make sense of it. In this episode we're joined by comedian Steffan Alun to make sense of the phenomenal rise in the stock price of failing computer game retailer Gamestop in 2021 in an effort by amateur traders to bring down the financial system. Other important topics covered are Beanie Babies, Queer as Folk and whether Taylor Swift is actually Jesus. </p><p><br></p><p>Come see Believe Conspiracy Pod LIVE <a href=\"https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flinktr.ee%2Fbelieveconspiracypodcast&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cphil.green%40contracted.pmi.com%7C05604853769247c0f11d08dca7219fb9%7C8b86a65e3c3a44068ac319a6b5cc52bc%7C0%7C0%7C638569010062920175%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=Od0f59LXM1%2B2BCHOpt1S%2B9wWxwiDEMXcAnkcVZBDFG4%3D&amp;reserved=0\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://linktr.ee/believeconspiracypodcast</a></p><p><br></p><p>See Steffan at the Edinburgh Fringe <a href=\"https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/steffan-alun-and-support-free-stand-up-but-at-what-cost\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Steffan Alun and Support: Free Stand-Up, but at What Cost | Comedy | Edinburgh Festival Fringe (edfringe.com)</a></p><p><br></p><p>Follow us on Insta <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/believeconspiracypodcast/?hl=en-gb\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@believeconspiracypodcast</a></p><p>Follow us on TikTok <a href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@believeconspiracypodcast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@believeconspiracypodcast</a></p><p>Watch on YouTube <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@believeconspiracypodcast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.youtube.com/@believeconspiracypodcast</a></p><p><br></p><p>Follow Steffan <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/steffanalun/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@steffanalun</a></p><p>Follow Phil <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/philgreencomedy/?hl=en-gb\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@philgreencomedy</a></p><p>Follow David <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/lovedavidferguson/?hl=en-gb\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@lovedavidferguson</a></p><p><br></p><p>See Phil's live shows <a href=\"https://linktr.ee/philgreencomedy\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://linktr.ee/philgreencomedy</a></p><p>See David's live shows <a href=\"https://linktr.ee/lovedavidferguson\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://linktr.ee/lovedavidferguson</a></p>","author_name":"Phil Green & David Ferguson"}
