Latest Episodes:

The Royals Are Frankensteins with Todd and Jessica McClintock Oct 29, 2021

Show notes

Our dear friends are back in the Lizard Lair, and they've got an extra spooky conspiracy theory for you! Todd and Jessica McClintock make a triumphant return to tell us all about the British royal family and their reanimation shenanigans. They suspect that Liz, Wills, and all the rest are actually Frankenstein monsters, sewn-together corpses that take the best parts of the royal blood line and smoosh them together with hot body parts of regular dead people. This eerie theory weaves together Mary Shelley, Lord Byron, WAP, juicy butts, American presidents, various accents, and a whole lot of goofing. Buckle up babies because we're recording in person and we're getting goofy. Happy Halloween!

The Cold Vaccine with Kathy Yamamoto Oct 22, 2021

Show notes

We've got vaccines for polio, and mumps, and Covid-19, and even something called Hib (seriously, look it up). So why on earth don't we have a vaccine for the common cold? What are these scientists even doing all day?? The exceptionally funny Kathy Yamamoto is on the show this week to dive deep into the shady world of Big Kleenex/Big NyQuil/Big Hot Toddy and their devious plan to kill cold vaccines before they can cause them to lose a bunch of money. It's a complex plot that also involves mean nurses, sickly rhinos, ThE eCoNoMy, and the dumbest lab technicians you can possibly imagine. Learn the shocking truth!!

Avril Lavigne's Clone with Christiana Morgenroth Oct 15, 2021

Show notes

She was a pop punk princess at the top of the world with a #1 album. She was a clone of that pop punk princess who was grown in a vat in Canada. Can we make it any more obvious??? This week we're getting into a new take on the theory that Avril Lavigne died in the early 2000's and was replaced by a body double. Only this time, we're getting sci-fi with it. Let hilarious producer and comedian Christiana Morgenroth explain. And along the way you'll learn all about Alexis, Christiana, and Katelyn's early teen years and the powerful (and sometimes disturbing) ((and always embarrassing)) impact that pop-punk had on us all.

Krabby Patties are Made of Crab with Justin and Joey Oct 08, 2021

Show notes

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? And could they be... a cannibal? The Everything Reviewed boys are back with a theory so dark, so disturbing, that it just might ruin your childhood. 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

Show notes

The spooky season is upon us, and it's time we finally discuss the well-known and well-supported theory that the world's most famous horror writer is himself a ghost. But not just any ghost. No, today we're getting into the theory that Stephen King is in fact a thousand year old ghost who smuggled his way over to the United States of America purely to get revenge on the North American Indigenous people by way of writing really racist books. If you're wondering how he got here, why he just sort of hung out for 500 years of American history, and how he's getting away with it, our good friend the hilarious comedian Joey Clift will explain it all. Sit back and relax as we cruise through 1000 years of mystical and spiritual European history.

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

It's the last ep of the season before we take our summer break, and boy is it some beachy fun! Our longtime friend and first time guest Justin Michael stopped by the Lizard Lair to explain all about the sneaky things Universal Studios did to introduce a new dumb non-animatronic King Kong attraction in the 2000's. Like burn down half the damn theme park. And lie to a bunch of musicians. And sneak legos into a little boy's room. Think this sounds weird already? Just you wait. And while you're at it, listen to Justin's new podcast Nature Talks to Itself! And also, have a great summer!

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.
