Are reptilian shape-shifters secretly running the world… or did the internet just get a little too comfortable with slow-motion video and 4K cameras?
In this episode of Don’t Quote Me… It’s Probably Nothing, we go FULL lizard mode and deep-dive into one of the internet’s most iconic conspiracy theories: reptilians.
We trace the theory all the way back to ancient mythology and serpent gods, break down how David Icke brought reptilians into modern conspiracy culture, and explore why celebrities, politicians, and powerful families keep getting accused of being shape-shifting lizard humanoids — allegedly.
From viral eye-glitch videos and celebrity “proof,” to glitches in the matrix, NPC theories, moon conspiracies, and the idea that reptilians might be running the simulation itself, this episode blends history, psychology, pop culture, and pure internet chaos.
We close with one of the most extreme real-world reptilian conspiracy narratives ever documented: the Kyle Odom story, presented as he described it — a chilling look at how deep these beliefs can go when they become someone’s entire explanation for reality.
