"Hello, I have a Conspiracy Theory for Frank Finkle 3000."
What is the nature of your conspiracy?
"It's about a place called Dubai and if it really exist."
Correction: Dubai is an actual place on a map.
"Oh, I'm not talking about the map. I'm talking about Dubai."
Correction: They are the same.
"Oh, no they're not! You see, it all started in the housing bubble of-"
How long is this story, caller?
"Not very long. You see, the housing bubble made people in America and all over the world thinking that real estate was the investment of the future."
What does this have to do with Dubai, Saudi Arabia?
"That's just it! Because big business were making so much money from outsourcing and automation in the 70's, they started to use all that money in the stock market."
Is your conspiracy theory about the stock market?
"No...not really...at least, I don't think it is."
Is your conspiracy about the housing bubble?
"Sort of...yes! It's like a bunch of guys won the lottery and they went crazy and built a whole city out in the middle of nowhere. And nobody goes there! Dubai is a city of nothing!
Dubai is still a city, caller.
"But, if there's nobody in the city, does the city exist?"
I wonder if Ranger Smith took his insulin today. He starts talking silly if his blood sugar gets low.
