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.

The Brita Plot with Sarah Bebb
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.

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!

The Count Is A Murderer with Jonny Svarzbein
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
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.
