Listen up because you're about to learn a thing or two about justice, fruit, America, Lori Lightfoot, and child actors.

The Brita Plot with Sarah Bebb Apr 14, 2023

Think drinking water is good for you? Think again sheeple! Our guest week is (the inexplicably unrepped) Sarah Bebb and she's got some thoughts on what's really going on with water purifiers. Namely that good ol reliable weirdly cheap Brita filters aren't doing JACK to actually filter toxins out of our water, and that the government's to blame. And also capitalism! We also cover other kinds of water filters, celebrity breakups, and Alexis comes up with three puns for the price of one! Then we talk about other water filters again.

Acoustic Kitty Didn't Fail And City Planners Are Keeping Us Weak Apr 07, 2023

Britney Is a Government Psyop with Colin J. Morris Mar 31, 2023

If you were alive in 2007 you remember that the most important news of the year wasn't the war in Iraq - it was Britney Spears shaving her head and having some weird vibes with the paparazzi. But maybe that's not because we're shallow, maybe it's because that's what THEY want us to believe! Podcast host and comedian Colin J Morris suspects that the Bush administration was using Brit as a sleeper agent to distract us from the government's failures, and tbh it kinda makes sense!

The Count Is A Murderer with Jonny Svarzbein Mar 24, 2023

One new world order! Two new world orders! HA HA HA! This week we've got funniest man in the world Jonny Svarzbein in the Lizard Lair, with a theory that will either ruin your childhood or make perfect sense. Jonny suspects that The Count, beloved Sesame Street character, is actually a vampire who's killing kids and is also a member of the... ahem... "cosmopolitan elites". Could the beloved kids show character be just another blood libel? Is Santa actually Christian? Who's actually watching shows on Tubi? And why won't you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street??

The Mega Church Scandal Scam with Mark McConville Mar 17, 2023

Picture this - you're a pastor at an evangelical Christian mega church, and donations are slipping. What are you gonna do? Well if Mark McConville (one of the best comedy podcasters ever to do it) is correct, what you're gonna do is fake a scandal, jet off to 'rehab', then sell a redemption narrative so compelling that Jesus Christ himself would be like 'woah'. Yes Mark suspects that some of these ministers going down for drug and affair scandals are just cynically plotting to raise more money for the church. Listen in this week for a surprisingly heartfelt conversation about the intersection between religion and capitalism, then a bunch of hot new ideas for gender neutral nicknames.

What's got 8 legs, a beak, and way too many brains. An octopus of course! Why, what did you think it was?This week we're talking 'pus with one of the greatest - comedian and filmmaker Erin Smith. And Erin thinks she may have discovered something shocking about the origins of the octopus, ie that they hitched a ride to earth on a comet in a disgusting theory known as panspermia. This week we're chopping it up about octopodes, whether squid have smart, genitals both human and cosmic, and what the dang heck is going on under the sea.

The Infinity Gene with Michael Dean Dec 16, 2022

Michael Dean's back and he's different. He's stronger, blonder, and it's all thanks to a charismatic 'doctor' and a pharmaceutical miracle. This week we're diving into the theory that our friend Michael has discovered some of the deepest truths of the universe, and that the Powers That Be are trying to stop him from spreading the truth via homebrew nootropics and adaptogens.

Vegetables Aren't Real with Vic Michaelis Jun 17, 2022

You hear it at the doctor's office, from your mom, even from bus ads - you've GOT to eat your vegetables. But why? Who says? And are vegetables really even a thing?? Our spectacularly funny pal Vic Michaelis stopped by the Lizard Lair to discuss the possibility that vegetables aren't real, we've been sold that lie by corporations, and we're being hoodwinked by - among others - those dang Obamas. Is the Dole company the most evil criminal syndicate America has ever known? Are potatoes tubers? And what's your favorite Adam Sandler movie?

April Is The Blood Sacrifice Month with Adam Peacock May 13, 2022

Tarot is Real with Arianna Lenarsky May 06, 2022

Magic is real. At least that's what returning fave Arianna Lenarsky thinks, and if you listen to this episode you might just end up agreeing. This week we're doing it a little different - we're not here to prove or disprove a theory so much as to talk about how to become a magic wand for the universe to channel its ineffable power through. Or something? In this ep we read a little tarot, test some experiments in ESP, try to define love, hear about how the Grand Canyon was really made, and then something so shocking happens that Alexis, Arianna, and Katelyn may never be the same again. Please listen all the way to the end on this one kids.

Lotteries are Traps for Time Travelers with Rachel Chapman Apr 29, 2022

If you were a time traveler, what would you do? Kill Hitler? Evacuate Pompei? Or would you go to 2016 and play the winning numbers for the biggest Powerball jackpot ever. If you said the 3rd one, you're the exact kind of jerk that podcaster and friend of the show Rachel Chapman is here to talk about this week. Rachel suspects that American lotteries are actually just honeypots, scams designed to trap those tricky time travelers so the government can extract their secrets. Could time travel be real and kind of boring? Are there sugar daddies for women in their 30's who mostly like to stay home and watch tv? And where does Alexis go two thirds of the way through this episode when she mysteriously vanishes?? These questions and more will be answered this week.

The Dating Game was a CIA Plot with Brian Huskey Mar 25, 2022

We all know The Dating Game! The weird 60s game show that basically invented reality tv, where swingin' bachelors and bachelorettes ask each other overtly s*xual questions from either side of a screen? But what if that sweet, innocuous game show was actually... a CIA front?? Our guest this week is the truly delightful comedian Brian Huskey (host of the podcast Bald Talk) and he dares to ask the dangerous questions. Brian's got a theory that the host of The Dating Game was a cold-blooded killer and a soldier in the Cold War. This ep we also discuss our least-favorite NPR hosts, water sports, exotic erotic vacations, and how much everyone hated Chuck Barris.

The Statue of Liberty is Actually Lucifer with Mano Agapion Mar 18, 2022

Ahhh New York! The big apple of the pie that is America! And what's even more Amerian than apple pie? The Statue of Liberty, of course! But what if there is something sinister underneath that big green cape? Mano Agapion takes a dip in the Lizard Lounge to explain that Lady Liberty is actually a satanic statue guiding America to H. E. Double Hockey Sticks! That's right, this beacon of light may just be a beacon to the dark side. Is Lady Liberty just an enby icon? Is hell actually cool? And what is going on with the obsession with Mary Mack's back back back? All will be illuminated!

All these mysteries and more will be covered this week, plus a little discussion of what it would take for your hosts to sleep with a pigeon.

Queen Elizabeth Is Dead with Cassi Jerkins Feb 26, 2022

Tally ho good plebians, we've got another royal conspiracy theory on our hands! Absolute sweetheart Cassi Jerkins is back in the Lizard Lair to discuss a theory that was born on Reddit, reared on Twitter, and is now reaching its culmination on our show. Cassi suspects that good ol Elizabeth II, queen of all Englande (and Wales?), has actually been dead for a few months now and that the powers behind the throne are Weekend At Bernies-ing her because the timing is bad for the queen to be dead. This theory involves platinum jubilees, weird steamed desserts, topless pics, and an in depth of what we all want done to our bodies when we die. Wait til you hear Alexis' legally binding audio will!

Julia Fox is a Mastermind with Katelyn and Alexis Feb 18, 2022

The heavyhitters of podcasting are at it again! That's right, it's just Katelyn and Alexis this week. Katelyn's got a HOT theory about Julia Fox! Is she a mastermind?

Amelia Earhart Was A Spy In New Jersey with Beth Appel Feb 11, 2022

This episode also features Alexis becoming a math genius, and some high quality 90's style observational comedy.

Joe Rogan is a Government Plant with Lauren Passell and Arielle Nissenblatt Feb 04, 2022

What's the deal with Joe Rogan? Is he a bro genius who's brought knowledge to the masses? An idiot failed actor who capitalized on conspiracy theories for his own selfish gain? Or is he... a government plant whose very existence is a plot to undermine the heroic podcasters you know and love??? We brough in the big guns for this episode - Arielle Nissenblatt and Lauren Passell are podcast experts with serious chops. And they think there's something fishy about ol' regular Joe. This episode we get deep into the weeds on the art and science of podcasting, and we're also kind of mean to Joe Rogan, but it seems like he can take it. Listen for a very funny and very meta episode!

The Blair Witch Documentary with Nina Concepcion Jan 14, 2022

Teddy Roosevelt's National Park Plot with Patrick McDonald Jan 07, 2022

Yosemite! Bryce Canyon! Petrified Forest! The national parks are often called America's best idea - acres of untouched land in which visitors can experience true wild nature. Except that that's all TOTAL BS. Returning fave Patrick McDonald thinks there's a nefarious secret behind the creation of the national parks, one that was kept for decadey by famous outdoors guy Theodore Roosevelt. Patrick suspects that actually, TR created the parks to protect ordinary Americans from the thread of... the wendigo!

Hark! Be not afraid, because we have a festive holiday ep coming your way! Our beloved Dave Child is back in the Lizard Lair, and he's got some pretty crazy ideas about cherubim, seraphim, and all the rest. Dave suspects that the feathery friends that announced Jesus' birth, and will be blowing the ol' trumpet at the end of days, are in fact interdimensional beings that travel between realms warning us about danger and giving us a heads up about pregnancies. Are they divine? Are they demonic? And might they just possibly be familiar to listeners of previous episodes as some kind of man-animal hybrid? Also, are they trying to sleep with us? All will be revealed in this extra-festive episode.

Lyme Disease Is An Escaped Bioweapon with Dana Bell Dec 03, 2021

Jesus Was An Alien with Grant Martz Nov 26, 2021

You ever read the Bible? That thing's crazy. They're always talking about big gleaming clouds abducting people, and miraculous cures that are far too advanced for the time, and other futuristic things like extra fish. So it's not a huge leap of logic to start thinking about Jesus might have been a dang alien. Our guest this week is musician/composer/sound guy/dear friend of the family Grant Martz, and he's pretty dang passionate about the possibility that rather than being some omnipotent Sky Daddy, God is actually a collection of aliens who are doing a kind of bad job trying to save the human race. On this ep Alexis, Katelyn, and Grant get real real about religion, bigotry, jet skis, the nature of time, rocks, and how cool Jesus was.

Mini-Ep With Alexis and Katelyn Nov 19, 2021

The Great British Bakeoff Plot with Nick Casalini Nov 12, 2021

It's that time of year that makes you want to pop a tray of cookies in the oven, snuggle under some blankets, and snort a few lines of nutmeg. Just kidding please don't do that!! On this episode we're learning all about how one quaint British tv programme is the instigator of a devious plot to get us all high on a common household spice. Nick Casalini (of the delightful Muriel's Murders) is here to explain the shocking links between the Great British Baking Show, and the compound in nutmeg that gets people gonged as hell (and also makes them poop and pass out). He suspects GBBO may just be a delivery system for a drug that will keep us all complacent and distracted while the Global Elites rob us blind. And along the way we'll hear about the history of the spice trade, 'modern slavery', and Nick's absolutely bonkers nutmeg experience. Cozy!

Stephen King Killed Stanley Kubrick with Nikki Osborne Nov 05, 2021

He's back! That's right, Stephen King is the subject of an episode once again. And ol Tricky Stevie is being accused... of murder! Or, well, maybe manslaughter. The wildly talented Nikki Osborne is on the 'cast this week to talk about the theory that Stephen King deliberately caused the death of Stanley Kubrick. Why? Because he freakin hated his adaptation of The Shining. And he may have had a point! We're really getting into it this week, with some film theory, another bad take from Katelyn about art, a discussion of diseases of the heart, and of course a heaping helping of love for Shelley Duvall.

See, Joey and Justin think that Mr. Krab's famous sandwiches might just be stuffed with crab meat. What else could be so delectable that it gets squids addicted and causes butt-related explosions?? Tune in for lots of tush talk, along with a brief history of everyone's childhood tv viewing, and lots of hummus talk.

Stephen King Is A European Ghost with Joey Clift Oct 01, 2021

The Assassination of John Lennon with Yaki Margulies Sep 24, 2021

We're back baby! Hope everyone had a great summer because it's time to talk about assassination and the Deep State. Friend of the show Yaki Margulies has returned to tell us all about the mysterious murder of John Lennon, and its possible ties to that boogeyman of most American mishaps, the CIA. How did the worst Beatle end up dead at the hands of some weird guy from Texas? Did it really have anything to do with famously annoying YA novel Catcher in the Rye? What happened to Bob Marley's foot? And what's the Yoko Ono of it all? Katelyn and Alexis are delighted to bring you the answers to these questions and more in this new season of... Lizard People.

Universal's King Kong Scam with Justin Michael Jun 04, 2021

Jane Austen Invented Game Theory with Mia Schauffler and Allie Jennings May 28, 2021

If you hear the words 'Game Theory' and picture a bunch of old dudes in glasses at Princeton talking about Soviet subs, you are a blind fool. The ideas behind game theory were only called game theory in the mid-20th century. But they've been around for a long long time, and they just might have been first discovered and described by everyone's favorite romantic novelist. That's right, we're talking Austen baby! Allie and Mia from P.S. I Love RomComs think that Jane is the real, uncredited inventor of game theory. And they want to set history right by explaining her masterful depictions of human interaction as a game. Sound boring? Prepare to be amazed at how fun this episode is.

The Electric Universe Theory with Ben Dietzel May 21, 2021

Are you ready to get EXCITED about SCIENCE??? Our dear friend Ben Dietzel is back on the podcast, and this time he's finally, definitely, for sure figured out what's going on with the earth. And actually the whole universe. Ben's got a bee in his bonnet about the Electric Universe theory, aka the Plasma Universe theory, aka the idea that the universe is extremely full of plasma and it's the reason for all the weird stuff that happens that science can't quite explain. Is plasma the reason that galaxies look like that? Does plasma account for the north pole? And what is this metaphor of Alexis' with the hair and the marble? All these questions and more will be answered on this extremely smart and well explained ep.

Lesbians Were Invented By The CIA with Anna Salinas May 14, 2021

Lesbians! You know em, you love em, you are em. But what if we told you that lesbians were actually an invention of the Central Intelligence Agency? What if you were to learn that the very existence of lesbians is an elaborate scam dating back hundreds of years to distract women and keep the patriarchy in power? Sound confusing? You don't even know. This week the truly delightful writer and comedian Anna Salinas stopped by to explain the connections between queerness, Emergen-C, the ancient Greeks, J Edgar Hoover, and rugby teams. It's an all-timer episode that may shock you, but will definitely make you think hard about women and their soft soft lips.

The Zoo Hypothesis with Mel Cowan May 07, 2021

What if aliens exist and they just think we're kind of boring? This is the provocative question bravely asked by our guest this week, returning fave Mel Cowan. Mel's ready to dive in to the Zoo Hypothesis, the idea that aliens are out there keeping an eye on our planet, not bugging us, just living their own lives. Buckle up for a nice kind episode full of musings about the nature of humanity, ponderings upon what it means to really communicate, jokes about Scooby Doo and Sea Monkeys, super niche references to LA improv, and sandwich talk. And don't forget to get Dos'd!

Trader Joe's Parking Lots with Jessica McClintock May 03, 2021

If you've ever shopped at a Trader Joe's, you know the deep and sense of doom that leak out of those palaces of peanut butter pretzels. But why are they so weirdly built, and why are the parking lots such nightmares to navigate? This week, returning champ Jessica McClintock is here to explain her theory on why the parking lots, the aisles, and sometimes even the food in a Trader Joe's grocery store are so friggin weird. Join us for a tale of corporate sliminess, urban anxiety, and seasonal kringle.

Monster Energy Is Satanic with Nina Concepcion Apr 16, 2021

Jesus Didn't Die with Sydney O'Toole Apr 09, 2021

Jesus Christ. You know him, you love him. But have you heard the theory that Jesus didn't actually die on Good Friday? That he in fact just kind of passed out as a result of sleepy drugs just like Romeo in that play? And that the whole thing was kind of a political stunt? If you haven't (or honestly even if you have) you're gonna want to listen in on this episode with dear friend of the show and host of the new podcast Sydney to Sydney, Sydney O'Toole! Lil Wayne's #1 fan also has some pretty controversial ideas about Jesus, and she's gonna let you have em. This ep features some real deep talk about religion, so you might wanna read the entire bible to prepare.

Shrimp Guy with Kim Truong and Michelle Viray Apr 02, 2021

The Nevada Election Scam with Zevon Odelberg Mar 26, 2021

Remember when Nevada spent like 18 months counting the votes back in 2020? And remember how they refused to hurry up even as an insurrection was fomenting? And remember how people like to gamble in Nevada? Well this week's guest thinks these terrible memories just might be related. Podcast host Zevon Odelberg stopped by to recount (hehe) his scandalous theory on why it took forever to find out who won the presidential election Nevada, and it just might have something to do with the casinos, the mob, sexy showgirls, and steak dinners. Panamanians, we're on to you!

Storks Bring Babies with Rian Kountzhouse Mar 19, 2021

The Blue Avians with Hollow Public Radio Mar 12, 2021

They're baaaaack! The lovable lads from Hollow Public Radio came back by the Lizard Lair, and this time we're talking bird people. That's right - Grant, Alexis, and Michael have a theory involving the Blue Avians, a race of superintelligent benevolent interdimensional beings who just want to heighten our vibrations. But there's a dark shadow to our feathered friends, a malevolent force trying to ruin their kindly plans. What evil force is that? You're gonna have to listen to find out! Featuring special bonus appearances from Toucan Sam, Alexis's mom, jaguar gods, and the Inquisition.

The 5G Scam with Marian Yesufu Mar 05, 2021

What's up with 5G? Is it a harmless tech upgrade that's making our phones faster? Is it a devious plot by the global elites to scramble our brains and give us cancer? Or is it... a third thing??? This week podcaster and founder of the Black Women In Comedy Festival Marian Yesufu dropped by to explain the real 5G plot. And it's not what you think - see, Marian is pretty sure 5G is yet another scam to get us to buy more stuff and live crappier lives. Along the way we also discuss baby barf, the state of tech in Nigeria, things Instagram is making us buy, and of course how much we all hate Zuckerberg. It's a wild one!

The Mount Rushmore Bunker with John Potter Feb 26, 2021

Ahh, Mount Rushmore. A monument to a bunch of slave owners hacked into a sacred mountain that basically no one wanted. But what if there's more to the big ol presidential busts in South Dakota? What if there's a secret doomsday bunker hidden beneath the mountain itself, kept secret for almost a century?? Because John Potter (comedian and aspiring gay icon) has done the work, has read the receipts, and believes there is something weird going on in the Black Hills. Listen up as we discuss mysterious caves, goofy names, confederate dinguses, and which presidents were the most forgettable.

The Rugrats Theory with Allyn Pintal Feb 05, 2021

You might be thinking 'gee, what's a cute little theory about a kids tv show doing on this feed? Isn't this gonna be too innocent and sweet for Lizard People'. Well think again IDIOT. Comedy cutie Allyn Pintal came by to talk about the Rugrats Theory, and it might be our bleakest show ever. This theory holds that none of the Rugrats are real, Angelica made them all up in a grief-stupor, and everyone on the show is poorly dealing with horrific trauma. Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!

Bruce and Brandon Lee Were Murdered with Adam Peacock Jan 29, 2021

Bin Laden Was Already Dead with Nick Turner Jan 22, 2021

We're getting political this week, honey! Comedian and podcast host Nick Turner is a true believer in a theory so controversial, it got Trump banned from Twitter and fired from being president (not actually). Nick's done some history research, and he thinks notorious terrorist leader and tape enjoyer Osama Bin Laden was not actually killed in the 2011 raid on a compound in Abbottabad. No, Bin Laden actually died of natural causes and then his body was schlepped around the Middle East for a decade until the US could finally make use of it. So is Kathryn Bigelow a liar? Were Obama and Clinton just watching someone play a video game in that notorious picture? Is Seal Team 6 just six guys? Could the government be... deceiving us?!?!!? The answers to those questions and more are all in this episode.

Saddam Hussein Had A Stargate with Hannah Garces Dec 18, 2020

Cast your mind back to the year 2003. 'The Simple Life' just premiered. Malta has finally joined the European Union.

Well if you’re smart, maybe you make up a religious leader who wants everyone to be peaceful and non-violent and to render unto Caesar. Maybe you invent Jesus.

Lorde Is Secretly 40 with Stevie Nelson Aug 31, 2018

How old is Lorde? You know, the shockingly young pop-music sensation who won a Grammy as a teen and took the world by storm with her clever lyrics and stadium rock vocals? Like 22? WRONG. Stevie Nelson is convinced that Lorde is actually a 40-year-old masquerading as a teen for the publicity.

Y2K Is The Reason Everything Sucks with Patrick Kang and Michael Levin Aug 10, 2018

Michael and Patrick are two delightful tv writers on the show Trial and Error. Y2K is the fun and catchy nickname for the epidemic of fear around the year 2000. This episode is where it all goes down. See, programmers in the early days of computers decided to list dates with two digits, which made 1900 the same as 2000, which made everyone freak out and think that all computers would go bust at midnight on New Years Eve. That didn’t happen.

The Pyramids Were Hydroelectric Power Plants with Suzi Barrett Aug 03, 2018

Ahmadinejad Killed Michael Jackson with Anna Hossnieh Jul 27, 2018

Iran does NOT play when it comes to coups. So it makes sense that incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would have been nervous when protests broke out after he basically stole the 2009 election. But was he so nervous that he’d plan and execute the assassination of the world’s most famous pop star just to distract the world media??? Idk, maybe!

Suge Knight Killed Tupac with Casey Feigh Jul 20, 2018

On September 7th, 1996, we lost one of the greatest minds America has ever produced. Tupac Shakur was a brilliant rapper and writer, a budding actor, and a surprisingly great ballet dancer.

Jesus' Lost Years with Ptolemy Slocum Jul 13, 2018

Jesus Christ of Nazareth was a pretty cool guy. He had a bunch of good ideas about being nice, having fun, treating people with respect, redistributing wealth, and so on. But for being basically the most famous person on earth, it’s pretty weird that there’s a 16ish year gap in his biography. But Ptolemy Slocum has a theory about where JC might have been. Ptolemy thinks that maybe, like so many teens, he went to find himself in India.

Bohemian Grove with Dave Child (Revisited) Jul 06, 2018

At first it's gonna seem like Dave Child (actor and comedian and wonderful person) doesn't believe his own conspiracy theory. But about halfway into this episode things got really weird. Maybe the Bohemian Grove is just a campground where rich old Republicans get together to pee outside. Or maybe it's something...stranger.

A Cursed Mummy Sank the Titanic with Conor Dowling Jun 29, 2018

The sinking of the Titanic was one of the great tragedies of the 20th century, an accident that claimed many lives and inspired many movies. But what if it wasn't an accident?

Jonestown Was A Failed MKUltra Experiment with Drew Droege Jun 22, 2018

Jonestown is one of the great American tragedies, a cautionary tale about cults and the scary narcissists who run them. MKUltra was a freaky freewheeling military department that tried to give people psychic powers by dosing them with LSD. At first glance, you’d think they have nothing in common. But Drew Droege knows better than that. The magnetic actor and comedian believes that Jonestown was in fact a large scale outdoor MKUltra experiment gone terribly wrong!

Melania’s Great Escape with Emily Schmidt Jun 08, 2018

The British Royals Are Lizard People with Sarah Claspell Jun 01, 2018

Did you enjoy the royal wedding? All those pretty dresses and weird traditions. Well then you got played by one of the most classic distraction techniques in the book.

Nazis Inside the Earth with Marcy Jarreau May 25, 2018

Finland Doesn’t Exist with Beth May May 11, 2018

Beyoncé is Solange’s Mother with Oscar Montoya May 04, 2018

Beyoncé is art, Solange is an artist. Beyoncé is the sun, Solange is the moon. Beyoncé is… the mommy and Solange is her kid??? There are almost as many conspiracy theories pertaining to Beyoncé as there are for The Jews, prob because people are threatened by a powerful black woman. But Oscar Montoya, gifted actor and truly hilarious comedian, thinks this theory is different...

The Secret Technology Gap with Geoff Ross Apr 27, 2018

Geoff Ross has a theory. A theory so explosive, so stunning, and so well researched, that it might just make you freak out so hard you quit modern life completely and go live in the woods and like chop wood or whatever. Geoff thinks that the state of technological innovation in this country is at least 30 years ahead of what we really think it is, and a cabal of government and private industry players is keeping it from us for their own creepy purposes. It’s nuts!!!

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ Five Year Contract with Rebecca Leib Apr 20, 2018

Hunky action star meets starlet on the rise. Romantic photo ops are closely followed by a whoopsie baby and a way too extra engagement story.

The Homunculus with Andy Kneis Apr 13, 2018

Andy Kneis is back, and he’s been watching the YouTubes! This week we tackle the controversial experiments of a Russian YouTuber who has allegedly created a real life homunculus. What’s a homunculus?

There’s a theory floating around the internet that Elon is not what he seems - that he may in fact be a higher being from another world who’s infiltrated our own to bring us technology beyond our wildest dreams. But is he doing this because he’s a nice guy? Or because he enjoys playing god? Or is he just a regular nerd with grandiose ideas and a head for business?

Darth Jar Jar with Andy Kneis Sep 29, 2017

A ghost haunts the Star Wars universe. A poltergeist, whose idiot gibbering has tormented fans of the series for decades. His name… is Jar Jar Binks. Pretty much everyone hates the hapless Gungan, and he’s been written off as a failed attempt at comic relief from the wacky brain of George Lucas. But what if Jar Jar is more than that?

Darth Jar Jar with Andy Kneis Sep 29, 2017

A ghost haunts the Star Wars universe. A poltergeist, whose idiot gibbering has tormented fans of the series for decades. His name… is Jar Jar Binks. Pretty much everyone hates the hapless Gungan, and he’s been written off as a failed attempt at comic relief from the wacky brain of George Lucas. But what if Jar Jar is more than that? What if he’s the dark force behind all the suffering and death of the prequels. What if Jar Jar himself is the Phantom Menace? Our guest this week is the podcaster and musician and extremely talented writer Andy Kneis, and Andy thinks that Jar Jar just might be evil.

Willy Wonka Is A Serial Killer with Rian Kountzhouse Aug 18, 2017

It’s part two in our series of ‘Ruin Everyone’s Childhood’ series, and this time a beloved children’s movie is on the chopping block! Lots of people have pointed out that it’s pretty weird that Willy Wonka was fine with baking and stretching children in the film ‘Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory’. But few have dared to make the argument that in fact those children weren’t just juiced - they were iced. Heroic podcast producer/comedian and dear friend of the show Rian Kountzhouse stopped by to argue just that. We have a spirited debate about whether Gene Wilder was capable of killing the children, whether the Oompa Loompas are just brainwashed cult members, and of course about the nature of reality. It’s a classic episode!

New Coke Was Planned To Fail with Will Hines Jun 02, 2017

We’d like to buy the world a… SHAM?!? There’s an unsavory episode in the history of Coca Cola that the biggest soda company in the world would like you to forget about (actually there are a bunch, look it up). But in this case, we’re talking about Coke’s colossal and expensive 1985 misstep, the introduction of New Coke. The company lost millions of dollars because consumers refused to let them trifle with their beloved bev, and Coke quickly replaced the old formula. But here’s the thing. Some people think it wasn’t a misstep at all, and the company intentionally took an L so that they could bring back traditional Coke and blow everyone’s minds. What madman would be bold enough to argue this theory? WILL HINES THAT’S WHO. The phenomenal comedian, teacher, writer, and actor stopped by to blow all our minds with his wildly well-thought-out theory that Coca Cola planned the whole dang caper. Thanks Will!

All Celebrities Wear Wigs with Erin Byrne Apr 21, 2017

Katie Holmes at Pilates? Oprah Winfrey riding in a John Deere tractor for charity? Chris Evans glazing pottery at a Color Me Mine? If they're a celebrity in public, you better believe they're wearing a wig. At least, according to our illustrious guest Erin Byrne. Erin makes the argument that all famous folks (pretty much) are follicularly deficient from years of tress abuse, and therefore have to toupee up. And along the way we talk about culture, gender, boring ass basic celebs, wig structuring, internalizes misogyny, and our hella awkward teen years. It's heartfelt and it's silly as shit.

This HAARP ain't in a philharmonic, that's for sure. Will that be the worst joke this episode? No. This week we get all up into the mysterious High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, located in glamorous Gakona, Alaska.

9/11 Was An Inside Job with (REDACTED) Mar 25, 2017

Wowie zowie, it's our 50th episode! It's been a blast to take this journey with all of you, and we think it was a blast to record this ep but somehow nobody really remembers doing it? It's weird, we all just sort of have a blank 48 hours in our memories. But it seems like that was when we were recording and editing this? Guess this is what happens when you set out to do a 9/11 episode. Anyway, huge thanks to all the people who apparently lent their talents to this, including: Matt Walsh, Sarah Claspell, Jon Mackey, Ele Woods, Ben Dietzel, Ryan Middledorf, Grant Martz, Sarah De La Isla, Cooper James, Clem, Maude, Michael Dean, and Alexis Preston. They were probably an absolute pleasure to have in the Lizard's Lair. Hope you like it! And... stay safe out there.

Fran Theory Mini Ep. #5 - George Soros Mar 21, 2017

If you're like us, you're still waiting on your check for protesting from George Soros. What gives, Georgie? Turns ol Soros is at the heart of a lot of contemporary conspiracy theories, including the ones that paint Black Lives Matter as a violent group, and that argue that the Women's March was organized by the shady left. But are any of these true? Are all of them true? Is the New York Times Opinion section basically just The National Enquirer these days? All these questions and more will be answered in this fran-inspired mini-episode.

Secretly LGBTQ+ Politicians with Petey Gibson Mar 17, 2017

Tap tap. Tap tap. What's that sound? Why it's a gay bathroom scandal a-blowing in! It seems like with every passing year there's another crazy drama wherein a conservative politician who's actively campaigned against LGBTQ rights is discovered soliciting sexy gay sex online or in a men's room. But what's behind all that? Why does it keep turning out that the most hateful people are the very thing they hate? Our hilarious and brilliant guest Petey Gibson addresses that weird pattern in the very best way - by arguing that it's kind of a conspiracy! Petey also has some very wise words about marriage, vaudeville, gender, muffin tops, politics, seals, and which chest binder gives you the most bang for your buck. We have a lot of laughs, and we also do a lot of serious thinking! Take this journey with us, won't ya?

Chemtrails and Contrails with Mike Lane Mar 10, 2017

Ooh wee, one of the big ones! Folks have been rehashing the chemtrails/contrails controversy since way back in the 90's, and it seems like each new day brings a new Reddit subthread about it. But what exactly are chemtrails? And why do they keep appearing in the form of a Star of David? Our guest, the wildly talented actor and comedian Mike Lane, addresses just these questions. Plus he also tells us all about Chamillionaire, fashion, superbugs, vapor, nude planes, secret technology, big pharma, little effers, depression, and way way more. But one thing that none of us know about is video games! This episode is brought to you by Mack Weldon, so head on over to mackweldon.com and enter the code LIZARD for 20% off!

The Digital Television Conspiracy with Sarah Claspell Mar 03, 2017

Did you know that at one point the US government was just giving out free TV's? And did you know that Siri can totally hear what you're saying at all times? Doesn't that just wig you out??? For some of us, the answer is nah. But according to our illustrious guest, actor and comedian Sarah Claspell, we should all be a little more worried about exactly what data our TV's and smart phones and wise watches are collecting. We also touch on pie thumbs, geometry, bombs, the NSA, nerds, and much much more. This episode also features a WILD cameo from our friend Alexa. Still waiting on those 100 beers.

Pet Microchips with Haley Hepworth Feb 24, 2017

You're a good pet owner. You feed your fur baby (ew) the more expensive food, you make sure they get exercise and stimulation, you give them lots of nice pats, you microchip them. But what if that little piece of tech isn't there to track your cat? What if it's there... to track you? The hilarious actor and writer and comedian Haley Hepworth rolled through to argue that our pets microchips are just part of a bigger strategy from the government to keep us in line. And it's preeeeetty spooky, if you think about it!! We have a nice chat and get to describe lots of cute animal things. What more could you want?

Fran Theory Mini Ep. #4 - Sandy Was Dead, Grease Is A Dream Feb 21, 2017

When you make a weird ass movie, people are gonna come up with weird ass theories about it. And there's one weird ass theory about the movie Grease that states that Sandy died before the action of the movie even starts, and the whole film is her dying brain constructing an elaborate dream of what might have been. There's a lot of evidence, from the crazy fantasy sequences to that insane gosh dang flying car. Do those really happen? Or did Sandra Dee say good bye to life? You be the judge, dear fran!

Pearl Harbor with Tiffany Reeves Feb 17, 2017

If you're looking for the original day that will live in infamy, look no further! America was rocked by the Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941 and a lot of folks credit them as the reason the US entered WW2. And look, we're for sure not historians. But you gotta admit, the US did a pretty weird job of preparing for this attack. And our brilliant guest Tiffany Reeves thinks that the failure to defend against the attack was 100% deliberate. Tiff's a real believer, and as such this convo does get a little more serious than our usually silly shit. But it's so interesting and so informative and you wouldn't believe how complicated our feelings for Hirohito are. Soooo complicated.

Skull And Bones and The 2004 Election with Edgar Momplaisir Feb 10, 2017

Do you believe that grassroots organizing can work and that people are inherently good? Well then you're a freaking doingus. At least, so SOME people would have you believe! Our guest Edgar Momplaisir - ridiculously talented comedian, writer, and actor - makes the argument that John Kerry's premature concession in the 2004 presidential election was a set-up orchestrated by the secret society Skull and Bones. And y'all, it only gets wilder from there. We have a very spirited argument about the value of protest, the nature of power, and whether fraternities and sororities are hella wack. The debate may get spicy, but don't worry, we're still friends in the end.

Fran Theory Mini Ep. #3 - Fidel Castro's Many Conspiracy Theories Feb 07, 2017

It's the return of the fran theory mini episode! And this one's a five-fer. So Fidel Castro was a pretty bad dude. He started out a footloose and fancy free revolutionary, but then he ruthlessly suppressed freedom of speech and executed just so many people. But! Did you also know that the dude sincerely loved conspiracy theories? Betcha didn't! Here are a few conspiracy theories that Castro believed, a few theories about Castro, and some good ol' fashioned Hempstead rambling. Hope you like! If you didn't, hit us up on the Lizard People Facebook page to yell at us!

Courtney Love Killed Kurt Cobain with Molly Fite Feb 03, 2017

Sex. Drugs. Rock n' Roll. Mental Illness. Plaid. The Pacific Northwest. Misogyny. Vocal Fry. There is A LOT going on in this episode! Actor and comedian and puppeteer Molly Fite rolled through the Lizard's Den to talk about the rumor that Courtney Love had Kurt Cobain whacked. Molly is a child of the grunge era, and this one gets right at the heart of fandom and the nature of mental illness. It's not exactly light-hearted but hey, neither were Nirvana and Hole. Everybody's got an opinion about this crazy relationship, and we're not exceptions.

HH Holmes and Jack The Ripper with Jim Zimmerman Jan 27, 2017

It's a steam punk episode! Actor and talented person Jim Zimmerman rolled through to talk about the crimes of the century. HH Holmes was the owner of the infamous Murder Castle in Chicago, and was responsible for the deaths of dozens of unfortunate boarders. Jack The Ripper was the ghoul of White Castle (oops Chapel) who murdered numerous ladies of the night. But there are some out there in this wild old world who believe that they were in fact... the same person!!! Honestly, we were both a little drunk this episode, so it's a loosey goosey one. Also, producer Alexis makes a guest appearance! As does her boyfriend Cooper and her fat cat Maude. The whole gang's here! Except Ryan, he wasn't there.

The Wine Cork Conspiracy with Billy Merritt Jan 20, 2017

You might think you know what the deal is with corks, but trust. You're about to have your little mind blown. Billy Merritt walks us through the connection between French wine, Portuguese corks, EU-hating terrorists, Long Island beef, and those magical dudes who always manage to find weed no matter where they are in the world. Billy Merritt - actor, comedian, writer, and host of the shows Uncorked - rolls through to tell us all about the greatest conspiracy ever to hit the wide world of wine. And also we talk sandwiches! It's a dang blast.

Michael Hastings' Death with Kerry O'Neill Jan 13, 2017

When BuzzFeed is the most reputable news source, and the government can do pretty much whatever it wants to private citizens, who can you trust? Kerry O'Neill, that's who! The wildly talented writer and comedian and dog mom stopped by to tell us the unnerving tale of the death of Michael Hastings. The controversial bad boy of digital journalism died in a fiery crash in 2013 under suspicious circumstances, while investigating the CIA. It's sad and weird at the same time. We discuss his legacy, as well as partisan politics, drugs, mental illness, war, the role of journalism, and the decline of American democracy. But also, we have a fun time and make a lot of goofy jokes! That combo shouldn't work, but baby? It does.

Fluoridated Water with Angela Gulner Jan 06, 2017

Industrial runoff. Atomic bomb test waste. Tap water. What do these all in common? THEY ALL CONTAIN WATER!!! Just kidding, they all have dreadful terrible fluoride in them. Fluoride is a controversial chemical with a shady past, and the hilarious filmmaker and actor Angela Gulner stops by the Lizard Lair to argue that it's in fact part of a great corporate conspiracy. Along the way we also discuss our favorite junk foods, laugh about how silly German sounds, explore the history of slimy PR guys, bring up psychic grandmas, sip Diet Coke, learn about history, and talk about Angela's amazing webseries Binge. Oh, and keep an ear out for a big disaster caused by Katelyn waving her arms around like an idiot. You'll know it when you hear it!

Special End Of The Year Episode Dec 23, 2016

Can you believe this podcast is one year old? Feels like it's barely been 11 months! All (hilarious) jokes aside, it's been a pretty wild year. We've covered everything from yetis to Marisa Tomei to lightbulbs to the Illuminati to our Hollow Earth to the Build-A-Bear corporation. We've laughed, we've cried, we've sung songs and drank beers. And through it all, we've been really, really lucky to have you as our listeners. So as a fun wrap-up to this tumultuous time in our lives, in this episode Katelyn takes a little time to tell you something new about every episode we've recorded. Sometimes that 'something new' is a recently uncovered fact about an unsolved murder, sometimes it's just an observation that the guest from that old episode is now married. But it's all pretty fun, tbh. Happy listening, happy holidays, and have a wonderful start to your new year!

Marisa Tomei's Oscar with Patrick McDonald Dec 16, 2016

Okay, we gotta conspiracy theory ova heaaaaah! If you like bad Brooklyn accents and arguments about the importance of comedy in culture, this ep is for you baby. Patrick McDonald came on the podcast for a freewheelin' conversation about classic movies, Hollywood scandals, Oscar-bait, Saturday Night Live, the dangers of alcohol, and lots of cute bimbo impressions. Plus, Katelyn tells a story about her shameful past in the seedy underbelly of LA catering. And after all of that, we finally get to the shocking conspiracy theory that the talented Marisa Tomei won a Best Supporting Actress award erroneously, because Jack Palance was too drunk to see the card and therefore said the wrong name! Dram, if you're listening to this, really sorry and please don't sue.

Ferris Bueller Wasn't Real with Clara Baker Dec 09, 2016

Ready for some truly dumb dad jokes? This wholesome episode tackles the theory that Ferris Bueller's Day Off, classic 80's teen film, is actually a dark portrait of a deeply disturbed young man who invents a cool imaginary friend with powers he can only dream of. Wow, creepy stuff! Our guest Clara Baker is a big movie buff, and she delivers this wacky theory with a lotta panache and some very expert water drop noises. You're going to come out of this one seeing Cameron pretty dang differently, this we can promise. At the very least you'll agree with us that Alan Ruck has always been a sex symbol. Zamn, zaddy.

Predictive Programming with George Barber Dec 02, 2016

Some episodes of this podcast are silly. Some are thoughtful. And sometimes we have to just say to heck with conspiracy theories, it's time for some good goddamn conversation. This one is that third one. The incredibly funny and borderline genius comedian George Barber stopped by for what we thought was going to be a conversation about the loopy little theory that the media is conditioning us to accept fascism and stuff. But actually it turned into two buds talking about the election, the nature of conspiracy theories, what it's like to be working and middle class, American history, and everything that's been on our minds for the last few weeks. It may not be a normal episode of Lizard People, but it's a talk we were all glad to have. We hope you'll be glad too!

Conspiracy Conspiracies with Wave Segal Nov 25, 2016

Wave Segal is a very funny comedian and actor. He's also a hardcore conspiracy theory nerd. And on this episode of Lizard People he presents the most meta, complex, shocking conspiracy theory of all - that there's a conspiracy to spread conspiracy theories! Yes, Wave argues that conspiracy theories are a tool used to distract from real government abuses. Did your mind just get blown? You ain't heard nothing yet. This episode is all about two conspiracy theory nerds nerding out hard and enjoying speculating about the nature of government. It's pretty silly, and it's also so so real. Also we mention the election because we recorded it before the election and wow were we young and happy and naive. Simpler times, y'all.

Sylvia Plath with Julia Meltzer Nov 18, 2016

Sylvia Plath was a poet, essayist, novelist, and very interesting person. Her work was luminous, and her suicide was notorious. But some people think that her husband (notorious asshole) Ted Hughes had more to do with her death than he ever admitted. People including our guest Julia Meltzer, comedian and podcast host and extremely thoughtful person! We talk about how to deal with sadness, what makes a genius, and how we should think about our heroes. It's not easy stuff to discuss, but if anyone can do it it's a couple of literature nerds who've had a lot of therapy. Shoutouts in this episode include Ariana Lenarsky, feminism, grandmas, formerly fat boys, curses, literary theorists, and teenage girls. This is a bleak one but a good one!

Hollow Earth with Ben Dietzel Nov 11, 2016

You might think that the earth is solid all the way through, with different layers like a delicious baklava. But what if the earth is in fact hollow, like a sphere made of poptarts that are frosted on both sides? All these desserts and more come in to play in our fascinating discussion of the Hollow Earth theory. Stand-up comedian and improviser Ben Dietzel makes the case that the middle of the earth is not solid, but is actually the location of the land called Agartha, home of gentle giants and futuristic space craft. It's a very silly good time, and it's sure to make you hungry, so listen with a snack!

The Patriarchy with Elle Eckley Nov 04, 2016

Whatever you're expecting from this episode, gird your loins for a wild surprise! Very fun comedian Elle Eckley stopped by the Lizard's Den to argue that the Patriarchy (the social system that defines our gender roles and keeps women down) is actually a global conspiracy. Which meant that Katelyn had to argue the reverse. It's Social Justice Warrior vs Men's Rights Activist in this episode, and everyone took part in the uncomfortable but still fun work of trying to be a more open-minded person. Did we do it perfectly? No! But imperfect conversations are what podcasts are for! Take the journey with us and see who convinces who.

The Grand Grimoire with Patrick Ehlers Oct 28, 2016

Some people are scared of clowns. Some are scared of dying alone. Some are even scared of cute harmless little frogs. But one thing we can all agree on is that Satan is SCARY! Hilarious and erudite comedian Patrick Ehlers came on the podcast to tell us all about the maybe mythical but highly wacky book known as the Grand Grimoire, a book of magic that apparently spells out how to summon demons. Including Satan. The book tells you how to summon Satan. And that's not even the wildest thing we discuss in this episode! Patrick also knows a lot about comic books, the history of language, video games, and Academy Award winning movies. It's a very fun conversation and not as spooky as a Halloween episode probably should be, but oh well. Enjoy, and be sure to check out Patrick's wonderful new podcast Nintendo Cartridge Society!

One Direction Babygate with Brooke Hartnett Oct 21, 2016

We've covered some dark conspiracy theories on this podcast. Things like Illuminati sacrifices, owl murders, secret Republican orgies, and good old fashioned fake deaths. But this has to be the most twisted, bleak, disturbing one of all. What if Louis Tomlinson's baby... IS FAKE?? Yes we're talking about THE Louis Tomlinson, singing child and nice hair haver. A little while back he knocked up a lady and now they have a kid together. But a lot of the internet thinks that their baby is just a cover for Louis' passionate relationship with Harry Styles, also a handsome singing fetus. Comedian and pop-culture enthusiast Brooke Hartnett joined us on the podcast to talk about where that baby really came from, and how they covered the whole thing. It was a very fun and silly and shallow and scatter-brained wonderful time. Also, come on out to the Tucson Comedy Arts Festival from November 9th to the 12th! We'll give you lots of high fives.

Fran Theory Mini Ep. #2 - The Truth About Taylor Oct 14, 2016

Turn on your iTunes. She's there. Check your Facebook. She's there. Look up into the sky at a tall white crane that's soaring majestically through a cloud. Taylor Swift is there too. The gal is everywhere, and her career has been going strong for what, like 12 years now? Love her or hate her, you can't escape the huge impact Tay Tay has had on pop culture. No wonder, then, that conspiracy theories swirl around the lanky popster like so many preteen groupies. From 'Taylor is illuminati' to 'Taylor is a satanist clone', there are some wild theories about her, and in this mini-episode, Katelyn covers her favorites with the usual lack of regard for facts. So don't you worry your pretty little mind, because we're about to blow your brain straight our your ear holes.

Corporate Conspiracies with Scott Thiede Oct 07, 2016

Ever feel like the whole world is conspiring against you? Like the fat cats and the corporations and the government want to keep you down? Well according to our guest, brilliant comedian Scott Thiede, you're dead right!! Scott thinks that there's a plot afoot to keep the poor poor and the rich filthy stinkin rich. And he's got some interesting evidence to prove it. Gotta' listen to find out what, though! Because we're not gonna put it in the episode description.

Animal Uprising with Ele Woods Sep 30, 2016

Something is happening in the ocean. Strange deaths, unexplained disappearances, mean rude stingrays. But what if these odd coincidences are in fact... AN ANIMAL CONSPIRACY. Our guest Ele Woods - a smart and hilarious comedian and also excellent dancer and costume-maker - makes the argument that the many odd animal-related deaths around the world are actually part of a global inter-species conspiracy to kill all humans. Also our voices sound very similar, so if you can't tell who is who know that Ele is the funny one and Katelyn is the one that keeps cackling loudly. This theory is a lil spooky!

The Shakespeare Authorship Question with Jeff Zuschlag Sep 23, 2016

Do you enjoy hearing hardcore theatre nerds geek out over Shakespeare? Well then you're gonna go gaga for this ep! The very funny and shockingly smart comedian Jeff Zuschlag came on the podcast to cover on of the nearest and dearest subjects to our hearts: SHAKESPEAH! Namely, the theory that Shakespeare didn't actually write the plays that are attributed to him. We discuss the Bard, his buddies, horny theatre teens, zines, dead languages, and the eternal mystery surrounding the true source of genius. It's pretty fun!

The Fake Moon Landing with Matt Johnson Sep 16, 2016

In this episode acclaimed director, writer, and Canadian Matt Johnson stops by the studio to tell us the real deal truth about the moon landing. Namely, that it for sure actually happened! Turns out he knows more than just about anyone under 70 about lunar landings, because he had to become an expert to make his magnificent movie Operation Avalanche. If you're a fan of independent film, science, powerful storytelling, budget talk, car chases, movie tech, and strangers becoming friends, this episode is most definitely for you. Have a nice time!

The 1985 NBA Draft with Jake Regal Sep 09, 2016

In this episode, we find out that Jake Regal (actor and comedian and multi-talented man) can play a college student with uncanny accuracy. Plus, he knows literally everything about wrestling. This week we explored the dramatic (and probably rigged) 1985 NBA draft. It was wild! In addition, we compare NBA commissioners to Archie characters, explore the logistics of freezing paper, discuss the homoerotic nature of MMA, and do a mini-episode about the Montreal Screw Job. Enjoy hearing a very patient person explain sports to an idiot.

Lizard People and David Icke with Brandon Blanks Sep 02, 2016

Get ready for a high-intensity, fast-talking, chakra-busting, Catalina-denying, chicken-teething good time! Genius writer and director Brandon Blanks stopped by to talk about interdimensional lizard aliens and the possible messiah David Icke. We say lots of possible slurs for aliens and planets, and spin out some truly wild ideas about what might really be controlling our beliefs and actions. Feat. fan favorite Omri Kruvi in a hot cameo!

JFK and the CIA with Maria Perros Aug 26, 2016

JFK's assassination is one of the greatest American conspiracy theories. And our guest, the hilarious and crazy smart Maria Perros fully did it justice with her amazing argument that he was betrayed by the CIA. By his own CIA, people!!! In this intense episode we deal with Lee Harvey Oswald, dirty commies, unfortunate turns of phrase, fat babies, and Jewish teeth. It's a delight.

The Owl Theory with Allegra Ringo Aug 19, 2016

Our guest this week is Allegra Ringo, hilarious comedian and co-host of the amazing podcast Can I Pet Your Dog? This conspiracy involves the very sad passing of Kathleen Peterson, who seems like an extremely nice person. Her husband was jailed for her murder, but since the trial some very weird evidence has come to light. OWLY EVIDENCE. Guys, owls are metal as hell. Listen in for a sizzling hot critique of the justice system, and so so many swears. Sorry to both of our families!

The Beatles Never Existed with Todd McClintock Aug 12, 2016

It's the return of a champion! Fran fave Todd McClintock is back, this time with an appallingly stupid conspiracy theory involving The Beatles, eyebrows, earlobes, lies, money, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. This theory posits that there were multiple actors playing each Beatle, and that their deaths were staged. Sound insane? It is! This episode is mostly screaming and giggling and visual jokes, aka the greatest episode of any podcast ever. Bonus: Todd writes an original song!

Ancient Astronauts with Mark David Christenson Aug 05, 2016

What if angels were just aliens? What if the pyramids were build by lazers? What if the war on Christmas was a real thing? All these questions and more are answered on this episode, in which Mark David Christenson addresses the theory that ancient alien astronauts came to earth to teach us junk like architecture and then mess around with our DNA. And as a bonus, we get verrrrrrry fiesty about organized religion. Westboro Baptist, sashay away! iqz636ba

Bush and Britney with Sarah Franklin Jul 29, 2016

We all know Brit Brit had a pretty tough go of it in 2007. But not a lot of people remember that George W. Bush was doing the political equivalent of shaving his head and fighting paparazzi with umbrellas. Guest Sarah Franklin makes a SHOCKINGLY compelling argument that Spears was an off-the-books employee of the Bush White House. You might disagree with our politics, and you might disagree with our pop-culture obsession. But you can't disagree that Crossroads is the greatest film of our generation.

Fran Theory Mini Ep. #1 - The Ballad of Melania Trump Jul 22, 2016

Melania Trump had a pretty bad night at the Republican National Convention. Oh well, everyone screws up sometimes and plagiarizes from one of the most famous people in the world. OR DO THEY??? Maybe Melania was actually sabotaged by one of the merry miscreants associated with the Trump campaign! But was it the campaign manager, the speech writer, the son-in-law, the mysterious dancer, or famed director Werner Herzog? You're about to find out, in Lizard People's first ever solo episode tackling a Fran Theory. Featuring accordion music!

Bohemian Grove with Dave Child Jul 15, 2016

At first it's gonna seem like Dave Child (actor and comedian and wonderful person) doesn't believe his own conspiracy theory. But about halfway into this episode things got really weird. Maybe the Bohemian Grove is just a campground where rich old Republicans get together to pee outside. Or maybe it's something...stranger.

Big Pharma with Omri Kruvi Jul 08, 2016

Look, we all agree that the pharmaceutical industry is messed up. Like real messed up. But is it messed up...on purpose? Eh, probly not. Our guest this week, writer and funny guy Omri Kruvi, isn't quite a skeptic or a believer, and the conversation gets real silly and then real serious. Come along for the ride!

Andy Kaufman's Death with Lindsay Stidham Jun 17, 2016

Comedian and director and writer and all around boss ass bitch Lindsay Stidham is on the show this week, and she's here to talk about a conspiracy theory surrounding one of the comedy greats. Andy Kaufman died in 1984 of complications from lung cancer. OR DID HE??? He said a lot of weird stuff before he passed about staging a hoax and escaping from celebrity. But was he just a big weird loon? Or was he the greatest comedian ever to live? Or both? Or neither? Either way, more comedians should take the audience out for milk and cookies.

Simulation Theory with Joe Quint Jun 03, 2016

Joe Quint came on the podcast to share a dangerous theory. A theory so powerful, it could undermine the very nature of existence. What if, like, The Matrix is totally real? But it's, like, scientists? Woah. This is the brainiest conversation ever to happen on LP and you're gonna either love it or hate it. But Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Elon Musk just endorsed simulation theory so you better jump on the train ASAP dudes. Also was Katelyn right about Wil Wheaton, or was Joe?!?! Gotta listen to find out.

Beyonce and the Illuminati with Olivia Duncan May 20, 2016

Way to go Olivia!

Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer with Michael Dean May 06, 2016

The Zodiac Killer is one of the great unsolved mysteries of American law enforcement. The string of deaths in northern California remains impossible to resolve, and the man who murdered as many as 37 people remains at large. OR DOES HE??? Michael Dean, funny comedian and very nice boy, believes that the Zodiac Killer is in fact none other than former Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz. Why else would he drop out of the race? Not because he was losing (although dang did he get his butt handed to him). Not because he ate a booger on live TV. No, it's because he was about to be revealed as one of the most notorious serial killers in American History. Duh.

Princess Diana with Jamie Di Spirito Apr 22, 2016

Katy and JonBenét with Nina Concepción Mar 11, 2016

Hot celebrity gossip. Dating in LA. Hysterical giggling. This episode has it all! Comedian and writer and model co-worker Nina Concepción came on the show to discuss the very popular and very insane theory that Katy Perry is secretly JonBenét Ramsey, hidden for years and re-engineered as a pop star. This episode is notable for being the one in which we spend the least amount of time discussing a conspiracy and the most laughing directly into the mics. Also, the Illuminati make a cameo appearance! That's Hollyweird, baby.

The Moon Landing with Evan Ponter Feb 26, 2016

This one's a doozy. The rumor that the moon landing was faked is slightly older than the actual moon landing. But why would America bother to film a fake landing, and how did they fake zero gravity, and also why would they pick Kubrick when his movies are obviously so incredibly boring? All these questions and more are answered by writer, cool guy and great co-worker Evan Ponter. Bonus: Katelyn tries to Science.

DB Cooper with Colton Stickney Feb 15, 2016

Grab a bourbon and scotch, and let Colton tell you a tale.

If you're in to cartels, shady business practices, and tech industries screwing us all over, this one'll really switch you on! Oh also puns, terrible puns.

Elvis with Todd McClintock Jan 15, 2016

Consider this: during Elvis' alleged funeral, there were a bunch of helicopters flying around. HELICOPTERS!! In this episode, comedian and writer Todd McClintock makes the case that Elvis did not in fact die in 1977, but went undercover as singer and insane person Jimmy 'Orion' Ellis. Expect special appearances from a sawed-off shotgun, psychotic fans, World War II, painkillers, and the grossest briefcase anyone has ever heard of.

Bigfoot with Ashlyn Anstee Dec 30, 2015

Sure, you've never seen a Bigfoot. But have you ever not NOT seen a Bigfoot? Think about it! In this episode, we delve in to the weird universal appeal of big, hairy, human-like creatures. Call 'em yeti, sasquatch, or the Slim Jim dude, there's something irresistible about imagining those gentle giants out in the woods, living a simpler life free from human BS.
