She was a pop punk princess at the top of the world. She was a clone of that pop punk princess. 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 clone. 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 impact that pop-punk had on us all.

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. Today we're getting into the theory that Stephen King is in fact a thousand year old ghost who stuck around to get revenge on the North American Indigenous people by way of writing really racist books. Confused? Our good friend the hilarious comedian Joey Clift will explain it all.

 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.

It's the last ep of the season before we take our summer break, and boy is it 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 King Kong attraction. Like burn down half the 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!

 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.

 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! 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.

 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!

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.

Governments! Are they just incompetent? Or are they geniuses who are intentionally imprisoning us in a jail made of asphalt?Friends of the show Ashlyn Anstee and Grant Pardee are back and teaming up to talk about how governments keep infrastructure terrible so that we all move slower and pay more money and don't get to drive the speeds we really want to. Tune in for a comprehensive discussion between four people who definitely totally understand city planning. And then go listen to Grashlyn Party!

Governments Keep Infrastructure Crappy On Purpose with Ashlyn & Grant

You know that feeling you get when you pound an energy drink and then put on your JNCOs and punch a wall? Could that feeling possibly be from Satan? Nina Concepcion is back on the show this week, and she's got some info about Monster Energy that you're definitely going to want to hear. Nina suspects that Monster Energy came from that prince of darkness himself. And along the way we'll also discuss stuff like numerology, early 2000's search engines, misheard songs, eating prunes, and demonic pets.

 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.

Jesus Didn't Die with Sydney O'Toole

Stop the presses! We're finally doing a topical episode. This week the hilarious co-hosts of Crush Fictionally, Michelle and Kim, stopped by to talk about the Shrimp Guy Saga and the possibility that the whole thing was a damn scam. Michelle and Kim think the whole thing smells fishy, and they suspect the culprit is the cereal's parent company General Mills. Did a marketing person make this all up? Is Shrimp Guy the real piece of rat poop? Buddy, you're gonna want to listen to this one.

 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!

The Nevada Election Scam with Zevon Odelberg

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 comedian and skeptic Katelyn Hempstead as her brilliant friends try to convince her of these and many other conspiracy theories.
