Danica Patrick reveals why she indulges ‘crazy’ conspiracy theorists

Danica Patrick recently explained why she discusses various conspiracy theories on her podcast during an interview. The former NASCAR and IndyCar driver faced backlash on social media for featuring controversial topics like aliens, lizard people, and the ‘Chemtrail’ conspiracy on her show. She also appeared on Tucker Carlson’s podcast, where she expressed her support for some of these theories.

Rumors even circulated that Patrick had been fired from her role as a pundit on Sky Sports F1 due to her outspoken views, but those rumors were later proven false.

When asked on the BigDeal podcast why she invites conspiracy theorists onto her show, Patrick said she enjoys exploring why people believe these ideas.

“When someone says something that sounds crazy, I like to dig deeper and fact-check how they got their information,” Patrick explained. “I’ve had plenty of wild podcasts talking about aliens, lizard people, and even how the Earth was formed.”

She added, “I love exploring the nature of reality, so I enjoy talking to physicists, archaeologists, and people who are investigating our origins. My dad teases me, asking why I ask questions that don’t have answers. But I believe if you don’t ask, you’ll never know, so you have to keep expanding your thinking.”
