Lizard People: Comedy and Conspiracy Theories
What if the government actually did cover something up in Roswell? What if yetis exist and are just really shy? What if super-intelligent lizards are wearing human skin suits, influencing international affairs and recording podcasts? Conspiracy theories are cool because they appeal to our evolved logical human brains and our stupid mammal idiot brains. So join host, comedian and skeptic, Katelyn Hempstead and producer Alexis B. Preston, as their brilliant friends try to convince them of these and many other conspiracy theories.

Shrimps are Shrimpy with Vic Michaelis
Think 'shrimpy' is an insult? Think again, you fool! You absolute dunce! Our good buddy Vic Michaelis is back with a theory about the delicious decapods we all know and love - shrimp! Vic suspects that they've been the victim of a very specific smear campaign, one orchestrated by a powerful if shadowy media organziation that has a reputation for creating some SUPER movies. This is a subject so explosive, so powerful, that we have to do a lot of tangents just to cover it - tangents like what makes something a bug, who owns Batman, what horse pee is good for, and more.

When you think of the 90s it's almost impossible not to think of Mariah Carey.

Ele explains that Tommy was so bent on revenge, he may have caused the worst disaster on American soil: 9/11. How? Well pal, you're gonna have to listen!

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.

Britney Is a Government Psyop with Colin J. Morris
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!

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?

The Mega Church Scandal Scam with Mark McConville
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.

It's late January so you know what that means - time to hit the beach! We've got our buds Zach and Charlie of the delightful podcast Baywatch Watch here to explain a theory so radical, it'll make you wanna shred some gnar waves. The Bad Boys of Podcasting suspect that the US government created the show Baywatch to make more people want to be lifeguards, and that the lifeguard shortage that basically ruined last summer is in fact due to the cancellation of said inexplicably popular show. Was Hasselhoff single-handedly keeping the lifeguard industry afloat? And will Alexis' memes make more Eastern European kids want to come here to protect our pools?

And you might think you know everything about her personal life if you've ever casually looked at the internet between 2007 and 2023. But if you don't know Gaylor, you don't know Swift. Hilarious comedian and very serious swiftie Jess Svendsgaard is back on the pod to explain the theory that Taylor is queer and has been giving us hints all along, in her music, on her Instagram, and also by the way she kisses women on the mouth romantically in public. Is compulsory heterosexuality making music boring? Will Jess's birds ever become friends? And will this be the episode that finally drives Alexis to insist we never do a Taylor Swift episode again?

Yes that's right, not even a weird Covid episode from 6 months ago can stop us from sharing the truth with you - the truth about Bob Marley, the CIA, and the complex political machinations that might have lead to his assassination. Erin thinks that it wasn't just a rare form of cancer that took down Robert Nesta Marley, but that it was in fact the American government and network of operatives who wanted to preserve the status quo. Oh also a weird boot. Turn off your brain and listen to us talk about Jamaican post-revolutionary politics, wigs, nut allergies, milk, and of course, Rihanna. Wanna support the show?

Vegetables Aren't Real with Vic Michaelis
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? All these mysteries will be unraveled as we discuss the humble veggie.
