Are world leaders secretly shapeshifting reptilian overlords from another dimension…or just rich, awkward humans who blink weird on camera?

In this episode of CTRL + ALT + DELUSION, join Nate as he dives headfirst into the Lizard People / Reptilian Elite conspiracy theory, the wild idea that politicians, celebrities, and billionaires are actually cold-blooded alien reptiles hiding in human skin suits and feeding on our fear.

We’ll break down:

How ancient serpent gods, dragons, and snake myths evolved into modern “reptilian overlord” lore

The rise of David Icke and how he turned lizard people into a full-blown conspiracy franchise

Why people swear they’ve “caught” politicians and celebrities “shapeshifting” on video (spoiler: compression is not a crime)

The psychology behind believing in reptilian elites: pattern-seeking brains, fear of chaos, loneliness, and that sweet “I know a secret” feeling

A completely unscientific Lizard Watchlist for Thanksgiving: How to survive your relatives, spot “reptile energy,” and stay sane at the dinner table

Why the real villains aren’t lizard people, but misinformation, manipulation, and algorithms that profit off our anxiety

This one’s part comedy roast, part mythology lesson, part group therapy session for anyone who’s ever heard, “You know the government is run by reptiles, right?”

If you like debunking conspiracy theories, understanding why people fall for them, and laughing at the weird corners of the internet, this episode’s for you.

And if this episode made you think, laugh, or just feel a little less alone in the chaos, please rate 5 stars & review The Average Joe Nerdcast, and share it with a friend who loves weird lore and good skepticism.
