It’s the first B&T newsletter for 2022 and what better way to start the new year than with a crazy conspiracy theorist and a live, on-air chunder!
Twenty-three-year-old American Peter McIndoe runs a group called ‘Birds Aren’t Real’ that alleges – and bear with us here – that birds aren’t real and are, in fact, drones employed by the US government to spy on people!
The Los Angeles-based group drives around the city in a van carry such bizarre slogan as “birds charge on power lines” and “pigeons are liars”.
Naturally, a guy like McIndoe makes for good TV and that’s exactly what Chicago network WGN9 thought when they invited the oddball conspiracist onto its breakfast news show.
Discussing the group’s ideology, McIndoe said: “Gen Z is full of some amazing men, women and children that are aiming for change and I think that that is, you know, just what this movement is about.”
And things quickly descended from there. McIndoe gulped at his coffee mug, only to bring the contents straight back up to astonished reporters and, undoubtedly, startled viewers at home.
McIndoe put the incident down to nerves. “Oh my god, I’m so nervous… I’m so sorry!” he explained.
