Hysteria 51
Hysteria 51 is your offbeat weekly podcast destination for all things weird and wonderful! We navigate the cosmic highways of UFOs, the alien-infested landscapes, and the enigmatic frontiers of the paranormal. With your hosts, Brent Hand and David Flora, alongside our cantankerous tin man, Conspiracy Bot (with a not-so-subtle desire to rule the world, doubling as our chief inquisitor into the unknown), we delve into unique mysteries, the inexplicable, and the downright unusual. Each week, we explore a fresh topic, making one thing crystal clear... the truth is out there, but you won’t find it here.

Blurry Hysteria: Fonts of Justice & the Great Dim Down | 429
This week on Blurry Hysteria , we bring you two stories that prove reality is glitching hard—either that, or someone spilled Bot Booze on the simulation control panel again. First up, scientists literally get the green light to mess with Earth’s mood lighting. That’s right—sun dimming is no longer just a Bond villain plot or a Metallica album concept. It’s geoengineering in real life, and we’re one step away from giving Earth a cosmic dimmer switch. What could possibly go wrong? Then, we deep-dive into the ultimate case of design karma: the iconic "You Wouldn’t Steal a Car" anti-piracy ad—yeah, the one that haunted your dreams before every DVD menu— might have used a pirated font. That’s right, the ad meant to stop digital theft may have committed... digital theft. The irony is so rich it should be locked in a vault labeled “MEME GOLD.” Join us as we shade the sun, question the kerning, and try not to get sued by Helvetica.

Blurry Hysteria: Wiggle Wars | 428
This week on Blurry Hysteria, we’re heading straight into the entomological underworld and… the world’s weirdest fertility-themed Grand Prix? First, we dig into the ant-ics of smugglers trying to sneak live garden ants out of Kenya like they’re the latest black-market superfood. Belgian and Vietnamese nationals were caught trying to scurry away with these little critters, but the real question is: why ants? And how do you even get through customs with a suitcase full of bugs? Then, we pivot from ants to, well, another kind of swarm— Sperm Racing . That’s right, Los Angeles hosted a very real, very bizarre event where hundreds of people gathered to bet on which donor’s little swimmers could outpace the rest in a lab-rat drag race. Science? Art? Performance? Vegas-style fertility? We’re not entirely sure, but someone brought pom-poms. Grab your popcorn and your magnifying glass—this episode's got creepy crawlies, reproductive roller derbies, and the kind of news that makes your search history deeply suspicious.

Blurry Hysteria: Flightless Birds & Frisky Boxcars | 426
This week on Blurry Hysteria , the world proves once again that reality is stranger (and way funnier) than fiction. First up, we flap our way into South Africa, where a helicopter crash had one very unexpected stowaway: a penguin in a cardboard box. Is it espionage? A fishy getaway plan? Or just the weirdest Uber ride in aviation history? Then we chug along to Missouri, where a man found himself back in cuffs for getting a little too intimate with a train seat. That's right—he's on a one-way trip to the “nope” station with a layover in “why tho?” From avian absurdity to locomotive lust, it’s another baffling journey through the bizarre—only on Blurry Hysteria !

This week, the inmates run the asylum as we dive headfirst into the Hysteria 51 voicemail inbox! From theories that would make your tinfoil hat itch to questions that even Conspiracy Bot can't insult properly (but he'll try anyway), it's a rollercoaster of paranormal ponderings and general weirdness.

Beautuful Blurry Hysteria: Zoological Follies | 424
In this special edition of Beautiful Blurry Hysteria, Kevin Crispin from Behind Beautiful Things steps in to wrangle the weird while Brent takes a breather! From a Nevada man’s questionable claim that tigers make great emotional support pets (hint: 7 might be a bit excessive!), to a small-town Missouri foster mom dabbling in a black-market monkey fiasco, the stories are as off-the-wall as they sound. And if that’s not enough to leave you howling, we also take a return dive into whether dire wolves are finally ready to bust out of ancient legend and stroll into our modern world.

Blurry Hysteria: Bedroom Monsters & Pee Pee Pranks | 423
This week on Blurry Hysteria, we ask the hard-hitting questions: Who’s afraid of the monster in the bedroom—and why does it look like a Conspiracy Bot? And more importantly, who’s peeing in your recycling bin? That’s right, we’re diving headfirst into the kind of stories that make you question reality and your home security system. First up, a Kansas babysitter hears strange noises while checking for monsters under the bed and instead finds a man literally hiding there. Talk about a plot twist no bedtime story ever prepared her for. Then, we head to Texas, where one man is being tormented by gallons—and we mean gallons —of mystery urine being dumped into his recycling bin. It’s a tale of high suspicion, low hygiene, and the kind of community "outreach" no one asked for. So grab your flashlight, maybe a gas mask, and get ready for another episode of weird news that’s so bizarre it could only be Blurry Hysteria.

Blurry Hysteria: Gold Crappers, Orca Fashion, and EXTREME Hoarders | 422
Just when you thought things couldn’t get any weirder—we’re back with a trio of tales that’ll have you questioning everything from homeownership to orca fashion trends. First, we revisit the case of missing solid gold crapper (spoiler: It's named America and it is FOUND). Then, the orcas are back on their bulls**t—reviving an old-school trend that involves wearing salmon carcasses as hats. That’s right: haute dead couture. And finally, a TikToker buys a hoarder house at auction and finds…yep, a decomposing body. But hey, at least the content went viral, right? So grab your ghost-salmon hat, avoid discount deep freezers, and tune in to the show that asks the tough questions—like what is happening with this planet?!

Beautiful Blurry Hysteria: Tesla’s Wrecked, Toes Are Checked, and What the Shell is in Your Pants? | 420
Buckle up, dear listeners, because this week’s Beautiful Blurry Hysteria is swerving into absolute chaos! First, we take a ride into the world of self-driving nightmares as a Tesla flunks its automatic driving test in the worst way possible—by crashing during a demonstration. Turns out, even AI gets stage fright. Then, we shift gears into something far more grotesque: a woman caught trying to sell human toes —yes, toes —on FACEBOOK! All while making some truly horrific claims about canine digestion. Just when you think it can’t get weirder, we slide into the final act: TSA agents at Newark Airport uncovering a turtle stuffed inside a traveler’s pants. Slow and steady does not win the race through security, my dude. Weird news? Check. Questionable life choices? Double check.

The Lost Dutchman’s Mine | 419
Gold. It’s shiny, it’s valuable, and it has a bad habit of making people lose their ever-loving minds. Legends of hidden treasure have fueled obsessions, ruined lives, and probably inspired more than a few bad tattoos. But few lost fortunes have captured imaginations quite like the Lost Dutchman’s Mine—a hidden gold stash so rich it could set you up for several lifetimes… if you could ever find it. This week, we’re diving deep into the sun-scorched mysteries of Arizona’s Superstition Mountains, where one prospector supposedly struck it big and then took the secret to his grave. From cryptic maps and stone-carved clues to murder, curses, and possibly even supernatural guardians, this tale has all the makings of a Hollywood blockbuster—except this one just might be real. So grab your shovels, keep an eye out for vengeful spirits, and join us as we mine for the truth behind one of America’s greatest lost treasures on Hysteria 51!

Ever wondered what happens when you take bad online advice a little too seriously? Or how about the possibility that we’re all living in a multiverse, hopping timelines without even realizing it? This week on Blurry Hysteria , we dive into some of the strangest news out there—starting with one man’s ill-fated attempt to survive on nothing but meat and dairy (spoiler: it didn’t go well). Then, we break down Google’s latest quantum computing breakthrough, which might just be proof that the multiverse is real.

Blurry Hysteria: Mammoth Mice and the Most Improbable Pregnancy Ever | 417
Science is weird, but this week, it’s downright prehistoric and miraculous. First up, researchers are bringing back a piece of the Ice Age by splicing woolly mammoth genes into live mice. What could possibly go wrong? We discuss the latest in de-extinction efforts, the ethical dilemmas, and whether these tiny, furry Frankensteins might be the first step toward full-blown Jurassic Park madness. Then, hold onto your reproductive health textbooks because the next story is one for the medical history books. A teenager managed to get pregnant without the traditional method—let’s just say it involved oral sex and some deeply unfortunate circumstances. We break down the insane details of this once-in-a-blue-moon medical mystery, the science behind how it could even happen, and why reality just keeps proving stranger than fiction.

Wendigo 101: How to Avoid Becoming a Midnight Snack | 416
Ever felt hangry? Like, really, really hangry? So hangry that you might just turn into a supernatural, flesh-craving monster? Well, you’re in luck because this week, we’re diving headfirst into the legend of the Wendigo—a creature that takes "snacking" to a terrifying new level. From its origins in Algonquian folklore to modern-day sightings (and possibly a Wendigo diet plan we can’t endorse), we’re breaking down what makes this beast so chilling. Is it a warning about greed and gluttony? A cautionary tale for winter survivalists? Or just an ancient way of saying, "Dude, don’t eat your friends"? We’ll cover all that and more, including some very questionable Wendigo-related crimes, and why you probably don’t want to go camping in Canada anytime soon.

Charles Fort: The Granddaddy of the Strange | 414
Before the X-Files, before Bigfoot reality shows, before your uncle went down a YouTube rabbit hole and now won’t shut up about lizard people—there was Charles Hoy Fort. A man who spent his life collecting the weirdest, wildest, and most WTF-worthy stories that science tried (and failed) to explain. From raining frogs to UFOs before they were even called UFOs, Fort cataloged it all and basically invented the field of Forteana—aka the study of all things bizarre, spooky, and questionably sane. AKA our bread and butter! But who was Fort? A misunderstood genius? A professional weirdo? The first-ever Reddit or 4 Chan mod? Join us as we dive into the life, work, and general badassery of the man who made the strange, well… stranger. Spoiler alert: he burned a lot of his own work: was it because even he couldn’t believe what he was writing? Or it was all true and the powers that be made him do it? That’s for you to decide...

Finally, we close with a real stinker —a woman sending fart jars to her boyfriend’s ex. Because, as they say, revenge is a dish best served… gassy?

Lost in the Light: The Eilean Mor Lighthouse Mystery | 411
A cold, barren rock in the North Atlantic—isolated, windswept, and lifeless. Perhaps it was never meant for human presence. Perhaps the superstitions whispered through generations, warnings of curses and otherworldly forces, weren’t just ghost stories to ignore. Three men vanished without a trace from the Eilean Mor Lighthouse in 1900, leaving behind only eerie questions and a lighthouse that stood empty, as if even it knew something was wrong. Was it foul weather? Madness? Or something far stranger hiding in the thick fog that surrounds the Flannan Isles? Despite decades of investigation, every theory—no matter how grounded or bizarre—seems to end where it begins: with a mystery as haunting as the waves that crash against its lonely shores.

Blurry Hysteria: Bullet-Dodging and Billion-Trillion Rubles | 410
What do you get when you cross a wannabe-Neo trying to dodge bullets in Utah with a Russian court that seems to think Google has more money than the entire planet combined? Pure, unadulterated Blurry Hysteria, that’s what! This week we unpack the bizarre saga of a man caught on camera attempting some next-level Matrix moves—spoiler alert: real life doesn’t come with slow-motion bullet time. Then, we jet over to Mother Russia, where a court has slapped Google with a penalty so colossal you’d need a calculator that can handle a galaxy’s worth of zeros.

Prepare for a double dose of techno-weirdness as Blurry Hysteria dives into the world of artificial intelligence! First, we glow up with the story of an AI-invented molecule that nature would’ve needed half a billion years to cook up. Is AI outpacing evolution?

Did you know America once eyed hippos as a solution to its problems?

Patents, Peril, and Power: The Price of Unlocking Free Energy | 403
Zero Point Energy refers to the quantum mechanical contribution to the total kinetic energy of atoms and molecules that remains even at absolute zero temperature. What that means is the universe is filled with energy, so much that the energy in an empty teacup could boil all the oceans on out planet. But how do we access it? That is the big questions. And the other big question is have some inventors cracked the code, and been silenced for their efforts? This week we break down free energy, why the powers that be want it stopped at all costs, and what happens when people not in the elite club of power break the cardinal rule of trying to help out humanity. We cover that and much more this week, like how is Conspiracy Bot involved in all of this, on Hysteria 51.

Ice Ice Maybe: Europa’s Subsurface Secrets | 396
It’s time to dive deep (literally) into the icy mysteries of Europa, Jupiter’s frozen moon that might just be the cosmic Atlantis. We’re cracking the ice on Europa’s potential subsurface ocean and asking the big questions: Are alien squids plotting to overthrow Earth? Could Europa’s ocean host life—or at least a killer alien shark movie? And how does radiation fit into all this? (Spoiler: It’s not great for suntans.) We’ll explore the latest research, NASA’s Europa Clipper mission, and why some scientists think this moon could be the best bet for finding extraterrestrial life. Join us as we get salty about Europa’s briny waters, speculate wildly (because science), and discuss whether Europa’s icy surface is nature’s biggest “No Trespassing” sign this week on Hysteria 51!

Strength and honor. Discipline and courage. The Glory of Rome! And none of it mattered for one of said Rome’s most renowned legions.

But how could one of the most fearsome and battle-tested units of the then most powerful empire on earth just up and disappear like a dad going for cigarettes?

Ghosts of the Imagination: The Philip Experiment | 385
Imagine a group of ordinary people coming together with one extraordinary goal: to create a ghost from scratch. That’s exactly what happened in the early 1970s with the Philip Experiment, a fascinating parapsychological study led by Dr. A.R.G. Owen and the Toronto Society for Psychical Research. The team invented a fictional character, Philip Aylesford, a 17th-century English nobleman with a tragic backstory, and then set out to bring him to life through sheer willpower and collective imagination. What started as a curious experiment in human consciousness quickly escalated into something far more mysterious. The group reported witnessing strange phenomena—tables moving on their own, eerie knocks answering their questions, and even glimpses of a ghostly presence. But was this really the work of a spirit, or just the power of the human mind? Join us this week as we dive deep into the eerie world of the Philip Experiment, where belief and reality collide in the most unexpected ways… on Hysteria 51.

Blurry Photos: The Falcon Lake Incident | BONUS
David takes over this week as we dip into the Blurry Photos UFO coffers for a peak at the Falcon Lake Incident! Original Description Flora is back with a deep dive into the fascinating events of the Falcon Lake incident! An amazing Canadian UFO case, the Falcon Lake incident is often regarded as one of the most investigated and strongest UFO cases in history. Stefan Michalak was out on a prospecting trip near Falcon Lake, Manitoba, when he witnesses 2 UFOs in the sky. When one landed not far from him, his curiosity led him to a close encounter that would forever change his life. David tackles the incident and asks tough questions in the search for the truth.

Join them as they dive headfirst into the latest batch of weird news that’s making headlines (and raising eyebrows).

Lost in Translation: The Unsolved Beale Ciphers | 374
“I have deposited in the county of Bedford, about four miles from Buford's [Tavern], in an excavation or vault, six feet below the surface of the ground, the following articles, belonging jointly to the parties whose names are given in number three, herewith: The first deposit consisted of ten hundred and fourteen pounds of gold, and thirty-eight hundred and twelve pounds of silver, deposited Nov. eighteen nineteen. The second was made Dec. eighteen twenty-one, and consisted of nineteen hundred and seven pounds of gold, and twelve hundred and eighty-eight of silver; also jewels, obtained in St. Louis in exchange to save transportation, and valued at thirteen thousand dollars. The above is securely packed in iron pots, with iron covers. The vault is roughly lined with stone, and the vessels rest on solid stone, and are covered with others. Paper number one describes the exact locality of the vault, so that no difficulty will be had in finding it.” - Thomas Jefferson Beale, from the second cipher text of the Beale Papers, allegedly written in 1822. Is it time to channel your inner Gus Chiggins and get to hunting for gold? Or maybe all of this a cunning ruse or just a flat out lie?

We are off this week.... sort of. We have a best of show, but first we dive in to continue or JFK Lose Your Own Adventure Sage. Then, it's back to 1964 to visit Jim and his photo shenanigans once again! Original Description Nothing worse than a photobomb. There you are minding your own business, taking a picture of your lovely daughter and next thing you know some idiot time traveler / astronaut / inter-dimensional being drops his/her/its mug into your frame. And while we’ve all been through it, there’s a famous version we’re talking about this week - The Solway Firth Spaceman. Where did the other figure come from? Could this be a real, true documentation of a close encounter? How much is free film for a year actually worth? We dive in deep and see what develops. Plus, Conspiracy Bot actually did research this week (albeit unsuccessfully, but...ya know...baby steps). Brent channels his inner British housewife from the 1960s (it wasn’t a huge leap). And John starts talking about time travel again (we wish it existed so we could go back and stop him). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t do a ton of photo shoots, but when we do they’re in the UK and they involve a spaceman – Hysteria 51.

Xmas Throwback - Krampus | BONUS
It’s the most wonderful time of the year and you know what that means. Stockings, snowmen, hot chocolate, nativity scenes, gingerbread men, horned goat half demons that will drag children to hell. That’s right, to go right along with Jolly Ol’ Saint Nick, there’s a more sinister Christmas character lurking beneath the shadows. Krampus – the Christmas Demon! Santa might bring gifts for good little girls and boys – Krampus doesn’t. The hairy beast hits bad kids with sticks and sometimes even throws them in his sack to take back to hell. This week we fire up the Hysteria Sleigh and explore the legend. Plus, are non-Christmas Christmas movies actually Christmas movies (trust us, it’ll make sense)? Conspiracy Bot does his best Clark Griswold. And the fellas exchange Christmas gifts (just be glad they didn’t buy for you). So throw another yule log on the fire, grab a glass of eggnog and cozy up for one hell of a Christmas tradition as we celebrate the holidays the only way we know how on the podcast that doesn’t always do a holiday episode, but when it does…does it right – Hysteria 51.

Jig of the Damned: The Dancing Plague of 1518 | 358
This week on Hysteria 51, we're time-traveling back to 1518, and trust us, it's not for the mead or the minstrels! We're diving feet first into one of history's most baffling mysteries – the Dancing Plague of 1518. Imagine this: one day, you're baking bread, and the next, you're busting moves in the streets of Strasbourg without a stop button! Join us as we shimmy through the theories – from mass hysteria to ergot-fueled rye parties, and even a supernatural dance-off. Was it a curse from St. Vitus? A case of medieval Footloose?

We'll also explore the aftermath of the Hammersmith Ghost case, including the bizarre legacy it left behind. Get ready to laugh, gasp, and question your belief in the supernatural as we uncover the ghostly gaffes and gunshots that made Hammersmith the talk of the town.

Blurry Hysteria: Loch Ness Flight Hazards
Join us as we diving headfirst into a double shot of unadulterated strangeness. In our first stop we jet-set to the surreal world of commercial aviation, where an unexpected in-flight reptilian revelation left a woman demanding immediate removal from the plane. The woman insisted that her fellow passenger was an undercover reptilian humanoid, causing a flight disruption of truly extraterrestrial proportions. Was it a genuine encounter with a shape-shifting humanoid, or just a case of pre-flight jitters gone wildly out of hand? Or, more than likely, just a hoax! Then we voyage to the chilly depths of Scotland's Loch Ness, where recently, a gaggle of gobsmacked tourists claim to have spotted none other than Nessie herself, surfacing from the murk to say hello! Was it the legendary Loch Ness Monster making a personal appearance or just a haggis having a swim? We're on the case, leaving no stone unturned or flipper-print uninvestigated.

Rock and Roll Extraterrestrials: The Dropa Stones Saga | 335
This week we dive into the mysterious stone discs allegedly discovered in a cave in China. Are they ancient UFO records or just a 12,000-year-old DJ’s favorite playlist? Or, more likely, just B.S.? We won't leave any stone - or disc - unturned. Get ready to rock the truth out of history's tightest corners, as we try to unravel the supposed inscriptions etched in the vinyl of the ancient world. We ask the hard questions like how is Erich von Däniken involved? Was Conspiracy Bot really there? Is where did the album Paul’s Boutique REALLY come from? It's a trip you won't want to miss!

Hoer Verde: The Ghost Town That Ghosted Us | 334
It's "Hoer Verde" time, the Brazilian village that, like a magician's assistant or Conspiracy Bot after a paternity suit, disappeared without a trace! The villagers are said to have vanished, leaving behind only a cryptic message and one used gun. We unpack this Bermuda Triangle of towns, which went poof! before anybody could say "unexplained phenomenon". We've got "eyewitness" accounts, wild theories (think aliens and black holes), and a hefty helping of pure, unadulterated confusion. So tune as tell the tale and ask the important question, is this all just B.S.? All that and the return of Kevin this week on Hysteria 51! Special thanks to this week’s sources: Books Koontz, Dean.

Blurry Hysteria: Moo-stery in Texas & Unveiling Thoughts: The AI Revolution | BONUS
We're lassoing some 'out of this world' news from the Lone Star State, where a baffling cattle mystery has struck Texas ranchers once again. Six seemingly healthy cattle have met a bizarre end, all with one thing in common - their tongues mysteriously removed and no signs of blood. Law enforcement is scratching their heads, the ranchers are bewildered, and CBot swears he was not involved. We're going to rustle up some theories and see if we can't shed some light on this peculiar case of tongueless cattle. Then, we shift gears to decode the intriguing development in the world of Artificial Intelligence. A recent AI experiment promises to make our sci-fi dreams (or nightmares) come true by revealing the thoughts of people through brain scans. It's the latest breakthrough that's blurring the lines between technology and our minds. But what does this mean for our future? Could our deepest, unspoken thoughts now be read like an open book? We're diving deep into this groundbreaking study, its implications, and the ethical conundrum it presents. Buckle up, truth-seekers, for a wild ride into the strange and the unexplained.

Area 51: A Look Back for Rick Davidson | BONUS
Hey there, Hysteria Nation! This is Kevin Crispin, frequent guest, certified over-thinker, and friend of the show. Robots need not apply - well, except for Kyle, he's the real MVP. Before we dive in, we want to extend our deepest condolences to Brent and Producer Lisa as they grieve the loss of Brent's father-in-law and Lisa’s dad, Rick, who sadly passed away this past week. In loving memory of Rick and to honor the unique connection he shared with Brent, we're revisiting one of Rick’s all-time favorite episodes – we're traveling way back to Episode 51, which unravels the enigmatic world of Area 51. This topic held a special place in the hearts of both Brent and his father-in-law, sparking endless captivating conversations between them and inspiring the show’s name. So, let's journey down memory lane together and explore the mysteries of Area 51. And if you're new to the podcast, this is the perfect opportunity to see what all the excitement is about. Brent and David will be back next week with a brand-new episode, but for now, please join us in celebrating the life of a cherished family member and the extraordinary bond he shared with our friends, Brent and Lisa Hand. Original Description In this very special episode of Hysteria 51 we take an introspective look back at the show over the years and the socioeconomic…hahahahah…I can’t. Nope, for our 51st episode we talk our (sorta) namesake – Area 51. What’s there? What isn’t? Do the aliens only communicate with Data from Star Trek? Plus, C-Bot compares the show to Rouge One (he just likes the robot), can a patty melt be classified as a cheeseburger (a debate ensues), and are Lego sets really Area 51 starter kits (was there ever a doubt)? All of that and more on the podcast that can’t quite believe we’ve actually made it to 51 episodes – Hysteria 51.

Heaven's Gate Revisited: UFOs & Comets & Castration, Oh My! | 329
Strap on your Nikes, grab your favorite alien snack, and join us as we look back at the time we tried to uncover the truth behind the Heaven's Gate Cult. Did we find the keys to the kingdom or just a one-way ticket to Crazy Town? You'll have to tune in to find out! Original Description What could compel 39 people from all walks of life to abandon their friends and family and commit suicide in a vain and rather crazy attempt to hop a ride on a UFO hiding behind the Hale-Bopp Comet in March of 1997? Well, the answer is stranger than you think...this week we look into the history, mystery, and ultimate tragedy of the Heaven's Gate cult. How did a Texas nurse and a college choral director with Broadway dreams become the leaders of the UFO Cult to end all UFO cults? And how did they convince so many unlikely people to join them? Were they really trying to transcend humanity or were they perfectly deranged bedfellows preying on the trust of their followers. This week we shave our heads, learn the handshakes and try to get to the bottom of the largest mass suicide to ever take place on American soil. Plus, Conspiracy Bot tries to start a cult with Alexa (he's unsuccessful), in unrelated news Conspiracy Bot also tries to order a 5 gallon drum of Sharkleberry Fin Kool-Aid (it's related), and also in unrelated news Conspiracy Bot offers to get drinks for the show (also actually related). All of that and more on the podcast that has never been in a cult, but if we were we’re pretty sure Dr Frank N Furter would be our leader – Hysteria 51.

How did a septuagenarian buggering wannabe rock-star suffering from dyslexia go from handyman to cult leader, culminating in the death of 80 people? We try to answer that very question this week (and not because Cbot is looking for tips). Plus, Kevin Crispin returns to the lower 4th, J.T.R. Brown makes his debut on H51 to help us wrap our heads around the mental health (or lack thereof) of cult leaders, and CBot regales us with his love for the year 1993.

Scientific Paradoxes | 325
Science is full of all sorts of paradoxes: We can travel to the depths of space, but can't cure the common cold. We can split the atom, but can't figure out why time flies when you're having fun. We can map the human genome, but can't predict the weather accurately. It's like we've unlocked the secrets of the universe, but can't find the remote control.... But those don’t make our eyes cross or the smartest of us lose sleep over night because of how intangible an answer seems to be.

Creepy Dolls | 324
Cavemen used to fashion dolls out of sticks and rocks. They would play with them for hours, pretending that they were going on epic hunting trips and fighting off saber-toothed tigers. Fast forward a few thousand years, and dolls became all the rage in ancient Egypt. People would bury them in tombs with their deceased loved ones, probably as a way to keep them company in the afterlife. Kind of like a creepy little buddy system. During the Middle Ages, dolls were mostly used as religious objects. But then the Renaissance came along, and artists started making fancy dolls for rich people to show off their wealth. "Look at me, I have a doll with a velvet gown and real human hair!" they would exclaim, as the peasants rolled their eyes. In the 20th century, dolls became even more popular, thanks to the rise of mass production. Barbie dolls were created, and girls everywhere were suddenly obsessed with having the perfect body, dream house, and wardrobe. Meanwhile, boys were busy playing with G.I. Joes and action figures, pretending to save the world one plastic battle at a time. But what about the outliers? The ones that seem... off. The ones that capture our attention for all the wrong reasons, and people can’t stop talking about them. That is what we are focusing on today as we tackle Creepy Dolls here on Hysteria 51.

Death Walker w/ Nick Groff | 322
This week the boys are joined by Nick Groff to talk his life in the world of the paranormal and his new show from FilmRise, Death Walker. In the series host Nick Groff theorizes and investigates the origins of some of America’s most notorious hauntings. Nick dives into the history books and powers up state-of-the-art ghost hunting equipment to redefine our understanding of the paranormal. His adventures take him to locales like penitentiaries, asylums, high schools, gallows, and all manners of spooky places throughout the United States in search of... wait for it... ghosts. Whether or not the viewer believes in the supernatural, the series appeals to fans of true crime across the board. Who the heck is Nick? Climb out from under that rock and we will, show you. But the quick 411 is that he is a highly recognizable face in paranormal television so if you are not familiar with his name, I bet you recognize him if paranormal shows are up your alley. He was the lead investigator on the series “Paranormal Lockdown” and served as co-investigator, executive producer, editor, and cameraman on Ghost Adventures from seasons 1–11.

Stone Tape Theory: Residual Hauntings or Pseudoscience? | 321
We’ve all heard of things that go bump in the night, but what if they are just recording of past events echoing through time? That is the heart of the Stone Tape Theory aka residual hauntings and this week’s topic. Is it an honest to goodness natural phenomenon, or just pseudoscience trash for people to cash in on. Speaking of trash, CBot plays the trailer for his new movie (it sucks). Brent tried to pass the term arch cocksman off as if it is normal (it isn’t). And KYLE proves once again that he is the moral compass of the show (and that is just sad). All that and more on the podcast that has never caused a residual haunting, but we do have some karaoke tapes that are pretty haunting in their own right – Hysteria 51.

DAVID FLORA WEEK- The Bell Witch: Real Tennessee Poltergeist or Made Up Legend? | 315
David Flora Week Day 5! Holy crap we made it through a whole week of the mustachioed mad man, pre-hosting duties! And what better way to round out the week than a land deal going south that turns PARANORMAL. If we weren't cursed before we probably are now as we take shots at The Bell Witch. But why not join us in our torment, we have bot booze and snacks!! Original Description There you are, minding your own business in 1800's Tennessee when Boom, a land deal goes south and a witch curses your family for generations. We know what you're thinking, that old chestnut? Well, that's just the chestnut this week as we tackle the Bell Witch with the help of returning guest and mustachioed mad man David Flora. Can Kyle cook up a spell? Does ghostly banging count as ASMR? Do you call a priest or animal control if you spot Cerberus at your door?

DAVID FLORA WEEK- The Mary Celeste | 314
David Flora Week Day 4! Something, Something, Poop Deck! (We have to keep with the dick and fart jokes here on H51) Today we are once again back in 2019 to subject Flora to more bot boozed soaked shenanigans as we explore the infamous Ghost Ship- The Mary Celeste! Original Description Imagine this: You and your crew are traversing the Atlantic aboard your merchant ship. You spot something up ahead and grab the spyglass. Is that another ship? You call to the ship announcing your presence…no response. Is there no one aboard? Where’s the crew? You board the ship and things are silent. It’s too quiet. Something isn’t sitting right about this situation. There’s a sewing machine with a baby’s dress being sewn…the hem is still mid-stitch. The log book’s last entry? 10 days ago. Where did the crew go? What would cause them to abandon ship so abruptly without any signs of duress? Did they leave the ship willingly? What happened to the Mary Celeste – we investigate this week. Plus, David Flora of Blurry Photos Podcast makes his triumphant return once again. Conspiracy Bot pivots his game plan for Bot Booze. Brent circles back around on how C-Bot is paying for it. And we all learn that poisonous, bad-tasting, and foul-smelling are table stakes for any product the robot creates. All of that and more on the podcast that’s never discovered a ghost ship, but took a Carnival Cruise once that was almost as scary – Hysteria 51. Special thanks to this week’s research sources: Research Assistant - Raymond Walden IV Books The Mary Celeste: An Unsolved Mystery from History | Jane Yolen, Heidi E. Y.

DAVID FLORA WEEK- Spring Heeled Jack: England’s Weirdest Paranormal Legend | 313
David Flora Week Day 3! This time we go back to 2019 and let David flex his random accent muscles a plenty as we talk Spring-Heeled Jack. If you are into gropey, fire belching leapers with a total disregard for stagecoach safety then you are in luck! Original Description This week we hop BACK over the pond to merry ol’ England to tackle a most vile and sinister serial…slapper? Well – slapper, groper, fire belcher, carriage crasher, and more. This week we’re looking into the legend of Spring Heeled Jack. This mischievous prankster allegedly had metal claws, could leap over 10 ft. walls, breath blue fire, apparently loved to slap authority figures, and cause carriages to crash. But who was this British bouncer? Is this just a folk tale re-told over the years to explain away hundreds of different events, was there a person of extraordinary ability terrorizing the countryside, or were these just a series of glorified fraternity pranks? David Flora of the Blurry Photos podcast joins the fun to help us uncover the identity of Britain’s strangest urban legend. Plus, Conspiracy Bot tries to get rid of Flora (he’s protective of BRENT’S beer), the fellas all try their hands at a British accent and fail miserably (shocking), and a related ghost in Long Island sounds eerily similar to Keanu Reeves (whoa). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never terrified women by blowing fire into their face, we do it the old fashioned way, by letting them see our work ethic and bank account – Hysteria 51.

DAVID FLORA WEEK- The Phoenix Lights: Mass UFO Sighting or Mass Hysteria? | 312
David Flora Week Day 2! This time we go back to David's first time on H51 back in 2018. He brought his Legos and his Phoenician (I hate that word) knowledge as we talked the triangle craft mystery that still gets people worked up, The Phoenix Lights! Original Description If one guy says he saw a UFO - it's easy to dismiss. But what do you do when over 10,000 people in one state say they did? That's exactly what happened March 13th, 1997 throughout Arizona. They all describe something very similar too: several lights arranged in a triangular pattern slowly moving overhead. Was it a visit from E.T.? A top secret military project? Or swamp gas bouncing off a weather balloon coupled with flares and whatever else they can come up with? The H-51 I-Team investigates this week with the help of David Flora from the Blurry Photos Podcast! That's right - a odd pod crossover event right here in the lower 4th dimension! Plus, Conspiracy Bot orders a vial of The Rock's sweat (it made sense to him). We learn more about Goforth in the 90's than we ever wanted to know (two words: frosted tips). And we discover the real reason the Titanic sank (it might involve a demon). All that and more on the podcast that doesn’t believe EVERY conspiracy from 1997, but we KNOW there was more room on that door ROSE! Hysteria 51.

DAVID FLORA WEEK- John Titor: Time Traveler or Internet Troll? | 311
It's David Flora Week here on Hysteria 51. This week we are looking back at some of our favorite of David's guest appearances on the show before he took over co-hosting duties. And what better way to kick off a week of of looking back in time than with a time travel episode... Yup, John Titor!!! Original Description If time travel is possible and future humans are coming back to our era...what would they want? To kill a future despot? To make a change to the environment that saves future generations? To take back a computer from 1975 to make their time machine work properly? If you're anything like the subject of this week's show, John Titor, you went with door #3. According to his posts on the internet, John Titor traveled back to the 70s to get a special computer to save time travel. He also made a pit stop along the way in the early 00's to live with his family (and 2 year old self) and presumably post snotty messages on inane internet forums (not stand-up forums like Hysteria Nation). Sound crazy? That's the most normal part of this story. This week we do our best Sam Beckett and try to fix what went wrong with the OG Chrononaut - John Titor. Plus, John and Brent ponder the existential perils of time travel (not really - just looking for ways to make money on it). Conspiracy bot ponders the existential perils of time travel (not really - just looking for other ways to kill John and Brent). And David Flora of Blurry Photos is back in the lower 4th (he just wants to time travel to a time before he met Conspiracy Bot). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t have time travel capabilities, but if we did, we’d do things to improve humanity…and make an insane amount of money – Hysteria 51.

The "Explorers" of the Hollow Earth | 306
Pole Holes! The hard-to-find holes of Mother Earth that so many men in history have yearned to go exploring in... It sounds dirty, but alas it is more crazy than anything else. From Edmond Halley of the comet fame to Captain John Cleves Symmes Jr, men throughout history have had theories on what was in the earth and how to get there. In Fact, Symmes came up with the Symmes Theory of Concentric Spheres and lobbied hard for the U.S. government to send men to the poles to prove (debunk) his theory. We talk all that this week, plus Kentucky comes a calling, Nazis make their stupid appearance because we are talking woo-woo topics so of course they do, and Conspiracy Bot let’s us all know what REALLY happened to Queen Elizabeth. All that and more this week on the podcast that isn’t hosted by pole experts, but we will take a look, Hysteria 51! Special thanks to this week’s sources: Books / Papers / Journals -Wallace, I.

We have some special guests and blasts from the past lined up for that, and it should be a blast. But, that is ahead of us. This week I wanted to take a look back. And not at a previous episode of Hysteria 51, oh no, a look back at the first time John Goforth and I ever recorded together. This was a test recording from early 2016 that we did into a phone just to see if we could keep banter going and if we would even enjoy doing a show. And, notice I said it is recorded into a phone so the quality is sub-par, and it is unedited because hey, why not laugh at how bad we were! At this point all we knew is we wanted to do a show, but had no idea the format, structure, or anything. We called this just visiting because we were just visiting the idea of a podcast. I hope you enjoy how bad we were, and David and I will be back next week. See you then!

The Fugate Family: The Blue People of Kentucky | 299
We've all heard of the Blue Moon of Kentucky thanks to Elvis Presley, Kentucky Blue Grass, and Kentucky Blue is even a color of paint... But this is an entirely different type of blue; The Blue Fugates. They are a family with a rare blood disorder called methemoglobinemia. It can cause blue skin, and boy did it. Four of their seven children exhibited blue skin so the family retreated from society... and inbred over and over until they became world renowned for this hue. What happened to them? Can it be treated? And how can you turn yourself blue from the comfort of your own home? We answer those questions and many even crazier this from the preverbal cornucopia of weird, Kentucky.

Georgia Guidestones Revisited | BONUS
Georgia Guidestones- The Little Conspiracy that could... Cause a bombing! After months of growing conspiracies and political campaigns running on the demolition of the stones, someone took it upon themselves to destroy them and on the morning of July 6, 2022, the Guidestones were heavily damaged in a bombing. They were later dismantled on the same day. We jump in our time machine and travel back to 2018 and episode 105 this week to look at our discussion on the Georgia Guidestones. Oh yeah, and Pecker was there! Original Description We don’t often think of mysterious relics as something from our current era. Unexplained monolithic structures with debated meaning and even less certain purpose don’t just pop-up in small town America. But they did. There is a set of modern day relics right in front of our noses. Not hidden away is a long abandoned cave, no. Out there for everyone to see in a cow pasture in northeast Georgia. The Georgia Guidestones are modern day relic – offering advice, and some would say hope, to future generations. Other read them in a much darker and foreboding light. Not advice on how to make humanity better, but doctrine with only the most perverse intentions. Who really built the Guidestones? What is their true purpose? And how are aliens involved. We offer GUIDANCE this week. Plus, we’re all shocked to learn Conspiracy Bot is a big fan of Thanos (no one was shocked), C-Bot then explains why he ISN’T an alcoholic (he is), and Pecker somehow ties Infinity War to the Simpsons (not well). All of that and more on the podcast that already knows who built the Georgia Guidestones and his name is Thanos - Hysteria 51.

Not one to rest, he is also an award-winning journalist (nominated for 2 Pulitzer Prizes), he has done his own Ted Talk, and he is the Executive Director of the Flow Research Collective—a peak performance research and training institute that researches the neuroscience of flow states and trains individuals to harness the power of flow so they can achieve more, faster. Plus, near and dear to our hearts here at H51, Steven is a dog lover and cofounder of the Rancho de Chihuahua, a hospice and special needs dog sanctuary. Steven stops by to talk about how he uses fiction not just to entertain, but to generate dialogue and discussions to alert others of climate change and shed light on existing technologies that could combat climate change now. About The Devil’s Dictionary: In The Devil’s Dictionary , when a routine em-tracking job goes sideways and em-trackers themselves start disappearing, Lion finds himself not knowing who to trust in a life and death race to uncover the truth. And when the trail leads to the world’s first mega-linkage, a continent-wide national park advertised as the best way to stave off environmental collapse, and exotic animals unlike any on Earth start showing up―Lion’s quest for truth becomes a fight for the survival of the species. Packed with intrigue and heart-pounding action, marked by unforgettable characters and vivid storytelling, filled with science-based brilliance and cult comic touches, The Devil’s Dictionary is Steven Kotler at his thrilling science fiction best.

Blurry Hysteria 8: Google A.I. Shenanigans | BONUS
We're all going to die!! Or at least that is what the dozens of you who suggested this story seem to think. Surprisingly though, this time Conspiracy Bot is not involved, so we have that going for us. But, A.I. is involved, and Google of course. Google engineer Blake Lemoine has came forward and said a chatbot, LaMDA, is self aware. Has feelings, and fears being turned off. Is this the technological singularity where we all now bow to our overlord before we are wiped out? Or maybe just confused ramblings of an overworked engineer who doesn't fully grasp the complexity of Chatbots and algorithms? Either way, ugh... Google... am I right????

Leap Castle: The World's Most Haunted Castle? | 291

You see them all the time when driving, signs saying PSYCHIC in neon. It's the home of the tarot card readers. But, is there anything to it or is it just a cash grab and time suck like everything else in our lives?? Well, this is NOT the podcast to answer that, come on now. But we are going to talk tarot AND give each other readings on the show. So best case scenario we have at least a 10% chance am dooming our mortal souls to hell this week, so that's fun. Plus, Conspiracy Bot lets us know our fates (in order), KYLE professes his loves more than just cheese muffins (it's cookies so don't get too excited) and David bashes his tarot pixies.

Well, sadly, he’s not alone as Lake mead in Nevada is at its lowest levels in history. That is making long forgotten things dumped in there to come back with a vengeance.

Kelly–Hopkinsville Encounter: The Birth of "Little Green Men" | 286
August 21, 1955 started off like so many others in the small community of Kelly, Kentucky, just another hot summer night. Lucky Sutton along with his family and friends were enjoying a quiet peaceful evening. But they were about to find out what was lurking in the darkness. They had visitors, ones not from this earth. After hours of siege from these beings, a gunfight, and visits of police, the event was over. Then the crazy really began… Did small, metallic “goblins” really attack a family and their friends in rural Kentucky that fateful night? Or, did old carnival buddies have a bit too much of the sauce and spin a yarn that got out of control?

H51 Classic Time!! Stranger Things Season 4 is coming out soon so what better way to celebrate than to revisit our Montauk episode, the story that gave inspiration to the Stranger Things. Plus, who doesn't want some more Peck in their life?!?!?! Original Description: On the eastern tip of Long Island New York sits the sleepy town of Montauk. It’s a summertime getaway for New York’s affluent and also happens to be the home of one of the darkest conspiracy theories in US history – the “Project Montauk ”. Allegedly a special ops black site where children were kidnapped, brainwashed, and experimented on, dissected, and killed. The purposes of which ranged from mind control, remove viewing, and ESP to telekinesis and ripping holes in space time. Were thousands of children turned into the telekinetic super soldiers…or is this just the mad ramblings of some weird old men. We’ll journey into the upside down to find out. Plus, Brent professes his love for Wynona (Judd), the boys have an uncomfortable debate about the pronunciation of Winona’s first name (Ryder), and Joe Peck joins the show for the last time (C-Bot means it this time).

Titanic Sized Conspiracies: 110th Anniversary | 283
It's been 110 years since that fateful night in April, 1912 when, on her maiden voyage, the largest ocean liner the world had ever seen was struck by an iceberg and sank in the cold Atlantic Ocean... Allegedly! Are the history books true, or were slightly more nefarious agents at play that caused the death of more than 1500 souls? We talk everything from insurance fraud to mummy curses this week as we break down some of the more popular "truths" about the disaster. Plus, KYLE professes his love for Linda Hamilton, Brent reveals the name of his childhood imaginary friend, and David channels yet another voice for this week’s Conspiracy Extravaganza!

Joe Fisher: A Man Murdered by Ghosts? | 282
Ah, love… Specifically true love. Soul mates even! Is there anything better? Yes, both of you being alive is a plus! That is just the predicament Joe Fisher found himself in, the love of his life (17 lifetimes to be exact) was a spirit guide from the metaphysical realm he could only talk to through a channeller. Talk about awkward date nights. But Joe was up for a challenge, after all he was England’s youngest newspaper editor at 22 and an accomplished investigative reporter turned author, so no problem! Unless you count the wild-goose chase he goes on to prove the existence of the afterlife, the public ridicule he receives for his beliefs, and the downward spiral his life goes down culminating in a death some say was at the hands of said spirits. It’s a heck of a story so we enlist the help of another author who makes his triumphant return to H51, Mr. Dan Kozuh. Is reincarnation real? Can spirits commit murder? Why is Brent a master of dialects??? We take a swing at answering those and many more questions this week on Hysteria 51. About Daniel Kozuh Daniel Kozuh is a comedy writer living in Atlanta by way of Chicago. As a screenwriter Daniel has been commissioned by several film and television production companies. His short films have shown at festivals and his science-fiction play ‘Adipocere’ was produced by LiveWire Chicago Theatre. His last short film ‘Late Again’ played at the Terminus Film Festival. He has also written for the Alternative Press Music Awards, Metal Insider, SFWeekly, among others. Currently, Daniel writes for the music satire site The Hard Times and its “nerd culture” sister site The Hard Drive, where he has published over 150 articles. One of his articles was adapted into the short film ‘Caravan of Cannibals’ that screened at 2018 Atlanta Underground Film Festival and the 2018 Atlanta Horror Film Festival. His headlines have been featured in The Los Angeles Daily News and Billboard Magazine. Daniel has performed with the acclaimed storytelling series The Moth, winning their monthly StorySlam and performing at their yearly GrandSlam. As well as working with PAVE-Promoting Awareness Victim Empowerment, the musician BESTMAN, and various nonprofit theater groups. The podcasts Hysteria 51, Name Redacted, POD Minutes to CASTnight, and Earth Station One have also had Daniel on as a guest. In April of 2019, Daniel’s first novel LINGERIA: Book One of One was published. It is a humorous fantasy story about an author discovering that the world of his famous fantasy novels is real and he is revered by its characters as their god and creator. As one reviewer put it, “It is Lord of the Rings meets Hitchhikers’ Guide,” as another said, “It’s like George R.R. Martin New Nightmare’s himself.” Special thanks to this week’s research sources: Books by Joe Predictions (1980) The Case for Reincarnation (1984, revised edition 2012

Hypnosis | 281
You are getting very sleepy… Well, wake up! It’s time to talk Hypnosis on H51. From county fairs to courtrooms, the practice of Hypnosis has led men to laughs and to the electric chair. All through focused attention, reduced peripheral awareness, and an enhanced capacity to respond to suggestion. People seek out hypnotists to stop smoking, remember a past life, or forget a tragedy. But, is it safe? Is it regulated? Why do so many law enforcement agencies lean on it? And, why does CBot keep trying it out on David? We tackle those questions and more on the podcast that has never been hypnotized, we think, but we do cluck like a chicken when we hear a bell – Hysteria 51.

The Oakville Blobs: Sky Jelly or Government Cover-Up? | 279
We know the saying is "there’s always room for Jell-O", but maybe not when it falls from the sky and is full of human white blood cells. Or at least that is what the population of Oakville, Washington would have us believe after they experience this very thing in 1994. Six times over a period of three weeks the region was plagued with gelatinous blobs falling from the sky. They made residents sick, killed pets, and are still unsolved. What fell from the sky in Washington State? Was the U.S. government behind the whole thing? Why does Cobra Commanders Weather Dominator make Conspiracy Bot so giddy? We take a crack at answering those and many more question on the podcast that truly always DOES have room for Jell-O – Hysteria 51.

“Come all you Thoughtless Young men, a Warning Take by Me, And Think on My unhappy Fate to Be Hanged on a Tree; my Name is William Corder, to You I Do declare, I Courted Maria Marten, most Beautiful and Fair. I Promised I would Marry Her upon a Certain Day, instead of That, I Was resolved to Take her Life away. I Went into her Father's House the 18th Day of May, Saying, my Dear Maria, we will Fix the Wedding Day. If You will Meet me At the Red barn, as Sure as I have Life, I Will take You to Ipswich Town, and There make You, my Wife; I Then went Home and Fetched my Gun, my Pickaxe And my Spade, I Went into the Red-barn, and There I Dug her Grave.” So began a ballad printed in a broadsheet in 1827 detailing the infamous Red Barn Murder. It's the tale of the killing Maria Marten by William Corden. And this story is a doozy! We are talking Bastard Kids, Cross Dressing, and of course; Murder! But, let's not forget the ties to Spring-heeled Jack, Mole Spuds. Public Execution, Mole Spuds again because heck yeah, AND, get this, a book bound in the skin of the executed outlining the tale of said execution. Oh, and don't forget, the ghost of the murdered solved her own case (and that part was even admitted as evidence in court).

Operation Highjump: Redux | 276
They say you can't go home again. But they never said you can't go Antarctica in search of secret Nazi bases…again! That's what the fellas are doing this week as they dive in to Operation Highjump…again. H51 started almost 6 years ago examining this bizarre military operation / journey to the Hollow Earth in the first episode, so we thought it high time to look at it again. And don't worry, this isn't reheated leftovers from that old episode - the fellas are back in prime form to take another stab at what Rear Admiral Byrd was up to. Was this all a cover-up so the US could obtain the natural resources Antarctica has to offer? Were Nazi’s really getting technologies from aliens in the hollow earth? Are altimeters really that important? (Spoiler Alert - YES) Plus, John is back in his hosting chair, C-Bot has 'robot jokes' to share, and the fellas make a special announcement (not THAT kind - this isn't an after-school special.) All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t always redo the exact same topic from past episodes, but when we do you better believe it’ll involve altimeters - Hysteria 51.

Hunting Bigfoot | 275
Ugh, Bigfoot sucks to find, am I right??? But that didn't stop John Green from spending the last decade traipsing into the woods of the Pacific Northwest to try and find the elusive "Primate". And, it didn't stop Taylor Guterson who joins us this week from spending 3 years following his and documenting his life both as a Bigfoot hunter and his declining attachments to reality. Finding Bigfoot is a film that skillfully melds the worlds of narrative feature and documentary to capture this portrait of a broken man obsessively pursuing personal and professional redemption in a world where many of those close to him think he's crazy. Plus, David Flora schools us on the finer points of correspondence school parapsychology degreases, Conspiracy Bot has trouble with names, and Brent ponders if John is still out because he is trying to satiate his newborns hunger for human flesh, All that and more this week on the podcast 4 out of 5 Sasquatch recommend - Hysteria 51.

This week we revisit the Betty and Barney Hill Adduction. We are re-releasing our previous two parter. Then, this Friday, we will take a fresh look at the case with new eyes and see if any new evidence has came out and how this case has shaped ufology. Original Description In last week’s episode we learned about Barney and Betty Hill. A nice couple from New Hampshire that said they were abducted by aliens back in the early 60s. The problem was, they couldn’t really remember what happened. Did they learn the secrets of interstellar travel? Were they experimented on? Exactly how many anal probes were involved? The answer to these questions and more were missing along with their memories. So, the Hills did what any sensible couple would do – they visited a hypnotist. The results of those sessions, the aftermath of their story going public, and our theories on what really happened are all in this week’s edition of the show. Plus, Carl Sagan joins us (sort of), Conspiracy Bot takes another step towards our eventual demise, and we take a skeptical look at Stanton Friedman – the world’s foremost expert on alien abductions he can profit from. All of that and more on the podcast you can’t live with, but can live without (seriously, you can’t move in) – Hysteria 51.

Abduction: Barney and Betty Hill - Revisited | 272
This week we revisit the Betty and Barney Hill Adduction. We are re-releasing our previous two parter. Then, this Friday, we will take a fresh look at the case with new eyes and see if any new evidence has came out and how this case has shaped ufology. Original Description Alien abductions have a lot in common with first dates. They’re weird, you aren’t sure how they’ll end, and you get touched in fairly uncomfortable places…no, not like the back of a Volkswagen. The first modern, recorded example of these in the US happened September 19th, 1961 in rural New Hampshire. Barney and Betty Hill were on their way back from Canada (of course) when they say they had a close encounter. Did it really happen? If so, what did the aliens want? And why aren’t UFOs referred to as flying pancakes? The boys are joined by author and Mok’bara (Klingon martial art) expert Michael Paul Gonzalez, Conspiracy Bot abuses Flintstones vitamins, and the eerie similarities between aliens and the British are explored. All of that plus Robert Stack’s trench coat on the podcast that you aren’t mad at, just really disappointed in…Hysteria 51.

Commie Humanzees and the Hybrid Debate | 271
Lions and tigers and bears, all cross bred with humans… oh my! Human animal hybrids have been talked about and envisioned as long as humans have been telling stories. From mad scientist movies to ancient biblical stories, they have caught the attention of us all… But what if they weren’t just a thought experiment? What if the possibility of cross-species breeding was not only real, but had taken place? Well, it has been tried in the past, and the future of experimentation is freer than you think.

Arrival of the Light Beings w/ Linda Haley | 270

Linda is the founder and executive director of The Reiki Center, a comprehensive natural wellness center for people and their pets! She is a Reiki Master Teacher, Advanced Craniosacral Therapist and practitioner of multiple natural therapies. But more importantly to H51, Linda says that after decades of contacts by non-human messengers, she has decided to share their urgent appeal for greater understanding of spiritual truths, the importance of a deeper connection to Source and why these beings are now advancing toward Earth. And, not one to go alone, Brent is joined by David Flora who is taking over co-hosting duties for John while he is out. All that and more on the podcast that gets their enlightenment from all the fires our robot sets - Hysteria 51 Book Description: Reports of unidentified flying objects are increasing across the globe. On June 25, 2021, the Pentagon released a 9-page report to Congress on sightings by the U.S. Navy of unidentified aerial phenomena; a more extensive accounting is expected to be made public in the near future. Author Linda Haley has released "Arrival of the Light Beings: How to Prepare for the Shift and Contact with Extraterrestrials," providing context to these reports and shedding light on the objectives of extraterrestrials and multidimensional beings. In "Arrival of the Light Beings," Haley offers an educational experience enlightening readers on the reality of life beyond Earth which was inspired by the author's real-life experiences.

"For as with all things paramount to humanity's survival, when the issues and interests reach a boiling point, the masses will enact change. Are we truly alone? Or have we evolved to a new epoch in the annals of mankind's existence?" That's what this week's documentary asks us to ponder.

It is right up the H51 alley as it covers aliens, experiencers, hybrids, UFOs, consciousness, and telepathy. All told though the experiences of 5 individuals.

New Years 2022: War of the Worlds | BONUS
Happy New Year! And as a New year's tradition here on H51, we ring in the year with a old time radio drama. This year Orson Welles is on tap for the War of the Worlds, the broadcast the sent the world into panic! Show Description Astronomers report seeing several large explosions of incandescent gas on the surface of the planet Mars. A large meteor is then described to have landed somewhere in the New Jersey farmland. A cylinder, which is thought to have been said meteor, was found on Grover's Mill, New Jersey. The cylinder is almost identical to that of the novel being 30 yards in diameter and a yellow hue. The top end of the cylinder begins to unscrew, and when it comes off a Martian appears above the rim. A policeman approaches the Martian with a white handkerchief in his hand, to show the humans were friendly. This is when the heat ray appears and kills at least 40 people. Orson Welles broadcasting The War Of The Worlds The military is sent in to destroy the cylinder but a Martian Fighting Machine rises out of the cylinder, burning or crushing over five-thousand soldiers. The Martians advance eastward, cutting down bridges and power lines in their track. An artillery unit comes into combat with some Fighting Machines but are killed quickly after they suffocate in the Black Smoke. A B-17 Bomber, which replaces the HMS Thunder Child in this story, is used to bomb the Tripods but is struck with the Heat ray but crashes into a fighting machine. The Martians continue north until they reach New York City. It is here when the 'radio part' of the broadcast ends. The Martians use black smoke on the fleeing population, this is what kills the broadcaster. The second part of the story includes Professor Pearson hiding in a house and after watching the Martians outside his window he ventures out, into the city. Here he finds a slightly crazy soldier (The Artillary man) who describes his dream of living underground. The Professor then leaves this man and wonders into the city. He discovers the Martians dead. Killed by bacteria. Black birds eating their bodies...

NASA, the United Nations, and the anti-Christ walk into a bar. Stop us if you've heard this one before. No? Well, those three and a select few others are all teamed up to use sky beams and Tupac-less holograms to try and take over the world! Or at least that is what Serge Monast told the world in his 1994 book, Project Blue Beam. They are using religions and pandemics against us, he swore, until he died. But that didn’t stop his cult like followers from preaching his theories to the world.

Alien Theorists Theorizing w/ The Cisco UFO Encounter | BONUS
It's another switcheroo week on Hysteria 51 as the boys from Canada take over to tell the tale of Donald Shrum and the Cisco UFO Encounter The Cisco UFO Encounter In 1964, then 26-year-old Donald Shrum, with two of his close friends, traveled up into the Sierra Nevada mountain range of Northeastern California. Known to history as “Gold Country” the mountains not only possess rich mineral variety but also boast an impressive abundance of plant and animal life. Shrum and his companions were set to participate in a leisurely weekend of bowhunting among the pristine forests and rugged ridges set within Tahoe National Park. Shrum had no idea that on this trip he would have an experience that would fill his nightmares for years. An experience that would stay locked within the files of official UFO investigators until finally brought to light in 2005.

Stanley Meyer's Water Fuel Cell Saga | 265
Stanley Meyer, the man who claimed to have built a car that ran on water. Hydrogen specifically, but through his inventions and patents, he claimed to be able to do what no one before or since has been able to do (even with his own designs). He stated the government was interested in his invention and it would radically change the world. Then his untimely death in 1998 at just 57 years of age while yelling “they poisoned me” made headlines around the world. Did Stanley really create a working water fuel cell? Was he silenced by Big Oil? Why did my father watch Hee-Haw?

A (Very) Short History of Life On Earth w/ Henry Gee | 261
This week Henry Gee sits down with Brent to talk his new book A (Very) Short History of Life On Earth. 4.6 Billion years in 12 Pithy Chapters! Where do we come from? Where did the dinosaurs go? Why is CBot so stupid? We are answering all the touch questions! Book Synopsis For billions of years, Earth was an inhospitably alien place – covered with churning seas, slowly crafting its landscape by way of incessant volcanic eruptions, the atmosphere in a constant state of chemical flux. And yet, despite facing literally every conceivable setback that living organisms could encounter, life has been extinguished and picked itself up to evolve again. Life has learned and adapted and continued through the billions of years that followed. It has weathered fire and ice. Slimes begat sponges, who through billions of years of complex evolution and adaptation grew a backbone, braved the unknown of pitiless shores, and sought an existence beyond the sea. From that first foray to the spread of early hominids who later became Homo sapiens , life has persisted, undaunted. A (Very) Short History of Life is an enlightening story of survival, of persistence, illuminating the delicate balance within which life has always existed, and continues to exist today. It is our planet like you’ve never seen it before. Life teems through Henry Gee’s lyrical prose – colossal supercontinents drift, collide, and coalesce, fashioning the face of the planet as we know it today. Creatures are engagingly personified, from ‘gregarious’ bacteria populating the seas to duelling dinosaurs in the Triassic period to magnificent mammals with the future in their (newly evolved) grasp. Those long extinct, almost alien early life forms are resurrected in evocative detail. Life’s evolutionary steps – from the development of a digestive system to the awe of creatures taking to the skies in flight – are conveyed with an alluring, up-close intimacy.

Weekly World News with Greg D’Alessandro | 259
Whether it was the grocery store check-out line or the newsstand around the block, almost everyone has stopped and re-read a headline from the Weekly World News. From Bat Boy running for President to Elvis being spotted on the moon...again - the Weekly World News was the perfect periodical for its time and place. And now that we're in desperate need for this bastion of journalistic perfection, it's back! That's right, not only is the WWN back, but it's ready for the 21st century. We talk about all of this and a bunch more with the WWN's Editor and CEO - Greg D’Alessandro. Plus, the the fellas make the obligatory Men In Black reference (hot sheets). Conspiracy Bot thinks everything in the WWN is 100% real (no surprise there). And the fellas get recruited to be correspondents for for the best newspaper in history (you guessed it).

Clifford Stone: Alien Recovery | 257
So, it turns out "recovery" is a thing in the military. Some folks recover crashed planes, others recover nuclear material, and then there's Clifford Stone...he recovered aliens. Well crashed alien craft and their bodies to be specific. Stone claims to have been involved with or have knowledge of at least 12 alien crashes in his 22 year military career. Jeesh, these aliens really need better driver's ed. But what exactly did they do with the bodies? Have we been reverse engineering the craft for our own technological gains? What's the best planet to visit for a vacation? We ask all the questions this week as we break down Clifford Stone. Plus, Val Kilmer makes his triumphant return to H51 (meaning we talk about him), Conspiracy Bot gets jealous when we admire another A.I. (frankly we admire all other A.I.), and Rob Kristofferson makes a return visit to the lower 4th to add actual insights to the discussion (we weren't sure either). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t have top secret clearance, but we loved the movie Top Secret – Hysteria 51.

There you are walking along the shores of the Salish Sea when you spot it. What is that, a fish? Some Trash? Nah, just a human foot washed up in a sneaker! Sounds crazy but since 2007 this very thing has happened 21 times! What could be the cause; a killer, mob hits, or something more mundane?

Well some kids do! And then what??? That's what we tackle this week, kid's remembering their past lives. It brings a whole new meaning to "Old Soul".

Edgar Cayce: The Sleeping Prophet | 254
Going to the doctor is such a pain. The forms, the wait, the doctor needing to get into a trance-like state to intuit your cure, the lack of a doctor's license…you know, everyday stuff. Well, it actually was with anyone who went to see Edgar Cayce in the early 20th century. This Sunday School teacher turned clairvoyant claimed to give over 14,000 readings throughout his career and many of them were recorded! He also is said to have had abilities in astral projection, prophesying, mediumship, and seeing auras (to name a few). Like we said…just like going to your primary care physician. Did Cayce actually have supernatural abilities? Did his supposed cures actually make anyone better? Did he actually just use a magic 8-ball? We try to answer those and a whole lot more this week as we go in search of Edgar Cayce. Plus, you-know-who is back for the second week in a row (Pecker). Also, more inane Simpson's references get dropped(more Pecker). And yet again, we discuss doing very normal, human things (seeing a pattern here?) Break out your crystals and align your chakras because we have all of that and more on the podcast that doesn't always ban guests from coming back, but when we do we rarely stick to it - Hysteria 51.

Birds Aren't Real | 253
I mean, the title is pretty self-explanatory, but I'm guessing since you're still reading - that you need a bit more. Well, the short version is the government replaced every living bird in the US with a drone. And they're ALL spying on us. What do you do if you have a pet bird? If they're all fake, what exactly is an egg? And, perhaps, most importantly - is the apostrophe in "Birds Aren't Real" necessary? We investigate this avian enigma this week. Plus, a certain someone makes his triumphant return to the show (and is subsequently never welcome back), the fellas are recording in the same room for the first time in 18+ months (you'd think it'd be better), and inane Simpsons references are back (see above).

It’s a tale as old as time, or at least Charles Hall says it is. This week we tackle his alleged time as a military liaison with the Tall Whites, a species from 105 light years away who want to use the Earth for their very own intergalactic truck stop. Art and Andy from Mr. Bunker’s Conspiracy Time Podcast stop by to try and help Brent break down the space gamblers and wrangle the robots while Gofo is out for the week.

The Jack Froese Emails: Communiques from the Great Beyond | 250
Sometimes it feels like technology is everywhere in our lives. Like it's omnipresent and the only way we'll truly escape it is when we cash in our chips and head to the big casino in the sky (shameless Jimmy Eat World reference). But what if that isn't true...what if we're still techies in the great beyond? In November of 2011 a man by the name of Jack Froese sent a few emails to friends and loved ones. The catch? Jack had been dead for 6 months. Did he really send them? Could they have been sent before his death? What's the download speed in Heaven? This week we try to hack the internet of the afterlife as we explore The Jack Froese Emails. Plus, Conspiracy Bot makes the case that he's a superhero (he isn't). Kyle tried to be helpful (he isn't). And Brent has a realization that he needs to listen to John more (he isn't).

The chat goes deep into the Ledger series (John is a nerd), touches on Maberry’s time as a martial artist (did we mention he’s an 8th degree black belt?), and we hear about a story he wrote that was too over-the-top for the Punisher comic he wrote it for (is such a thing even possible?). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t always interview authors, but when we do they’ve generally written about zombies – Hysteria 51.

Baltic Sea Anomaly: Revisited | 245
Happy 4th of July to all our American listeners! And to everyone else, we hope you had a great weekend! We are taking the week off to celebrate with out families but we didn't forget you. We are dusting off our Baltic Sea Anomaly episode for you and will be back next Monday with an all new episode of Hysteria 51 Original Description: In 2011 a group of treasure hunters were searching the Baltic Sea when they came upon something they couldn't explain. Their sonar showed an image of some sort of...structure on the sea floor. It was somewhat round in shape and almost ship-like. Subsequent investigations have shed little light as to the structure's true identity, purpose, or origin. One thing is clear - it isn't a UFO (it's clearly a UFO). This week we break out our scuba gear and join the search. Plus, was Jar Jar Binks actually a Sith Lord? (Conspiracy Bot thinks so) What does century old champagne taste like? (money) And why is C-Bot watching bad Harrison Ford thrillers from 2 decades ago? (show prep) All of that and more on the podcast that’s never been to the bottom of the ocean, but we’re pretty sure that’s where the Gungans live - Hysteria 51.

Nuremberg Celestial Event: 1561 Space Battle or Spurious Brainwashing? | 244
There's no shortage of art experts and historians who delve deeper in to classic works and find hidden meaning (thanks Dan Brown). Is that really Mary Magdalene in The Last Supper? What exactly is Mona Lisa smiling about? What kind of craft were the aliens flying in Hans Glaser's woodcut engraving? You know…the classic questions. Not familiar with our friend Hans? Well, buckle-in this week kids because it's a doozey. Tl;dr there was an alleged space battle over the city of Nuremberg in 1561 and he captured a likeness of said battle along with a description in a wood carving he made for the local newspaper. Did actual UFOs fight an intergalactic battle over 16th century Germany? Were the Avengers involved? What is the 16th century anyway? We answer all of the questions around the Nuremberg Celestial Phenomenon this week. Plus, C-Bot threatens to decommission himself (fingers crossed), Kyle drops our last Chronovisor in the batter (we'll give you one guess as to what he was making), and the fellas debate a new tagline for the end of the show (you'll just have to listen). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never witnessed a UFO battle over 16th century Germany, 16th century Sweden on the other hand…well, that’s a story - Hysteria 51.

Ghost Blimp: The WW2 Airship That Returned Without A Crew | 243
In 1962 a thin wire cord snaps aboard an ocean liner and whips across the deck bisecting the passengers and crew. Fast forward 40 years and Julianna Margulies goes in to...wait, hold on. That's just the plot to the movie Ghost Ship. This week we look into a WW2 era ghost BLIMP. Where did the crew go? Was foul play afoot? Were ALIENS involved?!?! We ask those questions and some that are even less relevant as we investigate the mystery of the Ghost Blimp this week. Plus, Andy and Art from Mr. Bunker's Conspiracy Time Podcast join in on the shenanigans, the fellas discuss the pros and cons of eating at a Ponderosa, and John finally earns that "shill check" he's been working on.

Was There Someone Here Before “Us”? | 242
Most of us think about the world in a pretty linear timeline. The right amino acids started brewing together in a puddle somewhere, God or the Universe or something generated a "spark of life", and 3.5 billion years later - here we are making TikTok videos. But, what if we weren't the first advanced civilization to call Earth home? This week we get a bit "heady" as we explore The Silurian Hypothesis and wonder, was there someone here before us? Plus, we learn how Brent spends his time at the bar (no surprise there), C-Bot attacks Brent through his wife (equally unsurprising), and we welcome Darrell to the show as our latest victi...fan to suggest a topic and help cohost via Patreon (the fact that any of you spend your hard earned money to support our little show is always the most surprising and humbling of all). All of that and more on the podcast that isn’t sure when humanity began, but we have a good guess as to how it will end…and that involves podcasting robots - Hysteria 51.

Who Put Bella In The Wych Elm? | 241
Dead bodies don't just grow on trees, though they do occasionally appear inside of them. Well, at least once...in the U.K. This week we're taking a trip to mid-century England to explore the curious case of Bella and the Wych Elm. Tl;dr - some kids find a dead body in the forest (Stand By Me style), only this body was inside the hollow of a dead tree. How did she get there? Was this murder? Was black magic involved? We hop across the pond and go all Sherlock to find out who put Bella in the Wych Elm. Plus, Kyle gets a humor upgrade (the use of the word "upgrade" there is debatable). Kyle also channels his inner Henny Youngman (likely related to the first point). And we figure out a way to get Conspiracy Bot to leave at anytime (also related). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never found a dead body in the woods, but we did eat cherry flavored Pez with Jerry O'Connell once - Hysteria 51.

The Robot Killer | 240
It's Memorial Day! That means the meatsacks have the day off and the true talent takes over. Me, Conspiracy Bot. And I have a treat for you all, The Robot Killer. The name should be self explanatory but just in case it isn't, You all suck. I hope you hate it. Show Description: A radio show sponsor is to give away as a contest prize, a mechanical man, a robot. XR23 is 6 feet tall, made of metal, yet with human like features. The robot responds to voice requests, even in doing the most petty of tasks. But...If a robot can love, it might just as easily learn to hate and kill. Should we be worrying? The experts say there’s nothing to worry about. What could happen? Robots can’t kill. They’re just not programmed to do that… right?

Mad Jack: The Man Who Fought Nazis w/ a Sword | 239
It wouldn't seem that weird if we told you a soldier from the past led his comrades into battle with a sword and longbow. It would get a little weird if we told you that "the past" was WW2. Well, that's the exact case with our topic this week, Mad Jack Churchill. From capturing a Nazi outpost almost singlehandedly to registering the only known kill of WW2 by way of longbow - Jack was one of a kind and we dig into his madness this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot claims to have been a laser gunrunner in the Middle Ages (we've stopped asking), the fellas demonstrate their severe lack of knowledge when it comes to Middle Age weaponry (let's just say they wouldn't have lasted long at the Battle of Hastings), and the show ends with a blast from the past (just listen). All of that and more on the podcast that is constantly being accused of being ‘improperly dressed’ - mostly because the robot likes to wear a speedo - Hysteria 51.

15 Things You Didn't Know About Bigfoot | 238
A clickbait journalist is sent to the Appalachian foothills to cover a Bigfoot Convention where he discovers there’s more to this listicle than meets the eye. That's the tagline for the awesome movie we got the chance to screen early 15 Things You Didn't Know About Bigfoot (#1 Will Blow Your Mind). Director, writer, and actor Zach Lamplugh joins Brent this week to talk all things Squatchy is his hilarious new movie.

CAFEteria 51: World Tour - Canadian Ketchup Chip | Bonus
Really leaving our comfort zone here…to travel a couple hundred miles north to CANADA! That's right, this week we visit our cousins to the north to experience one of their finer delicacies. An item lauded by many, loathed by some, and polarizing for all. This week we try the KETCHUP POTATO CHIP (you so thought we were going to say poutine didn't you?) What brand has the best?

The Minnesota Iceman: Missing Link or a Charlatan's Sham? | 237
What do you do when you find a previously undiscovered hominid frozen in a block of ice? Well, obviously you thaw him out and go eat microwave burritos at 7-11. But, in the off chance Pauly Shore is unavailable for said hijinks - you might just tour around the country charging people to get a look-see. And that's exactly what happened when Frank Hansen got his hands on this particular Neanderthal-sickle. But the story gets weirder. The Smithsonian comes to take a look, it's determined the wannabe Bigfoot was shot in the head, and someone at Disney claims they actually made the thing out of latex and a lack of common sense. We try to melt the mystery of the Minnesota Iceman this week. Plus, we welcome Dan Kozuh back to the show (he's got a new podcast - The Extramundane with Max Ward), C-Bot isn't exactly firing on all cylinders (is he ever?), and Brent plants a fake voicemail lauding his hosting talents (might be fake, might not but since I write the descriptions- we're going with it). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never thawed a Neanderthal from a gigantic block of ice, but if we did we’re pretty sure he’d look like Brendan Fraser - Hysteria 51.

Flashback Winner Pick: The Kardashev Scale | 236
Alright yuh sacks, Conspiracy Bot here. You voted last week and the winner was crowned. Me. But also John Titor for some reason. And the winner was picked for the prize pack, one loser named Skylar Horton. His crap is in the mail but to make him feel like less of a douche pickle for listening to this dumpster fire of a podcast I reached out and let him pick his favorite episode of all time for this week's final flashback episode. Without further ado, here is Skylar's pick, The Kardashev Scale How advanced is our civilization? Hot Pockets? Check. Cat memes? Check. Total control of our planet’s resources, weather, and energy? Well…we’ll get back to you. That’s the basic premise of the Kardashev Scale. It’s a simple test to judge a civilization’s technological advancement. The scale ranges from 0 (we’re a 0.7) to a 6 or 7 (think omnipotent beings). This week we explore where we are, where we’re (hopefully) going, and how we can get there. Plus, Conspiracy Bot gives himself an upgrade to SUPER C (he’s been playing too much NES), the neighborhood cats are back in his cross-hairs (he drank a bottle of Malört), and we talk how Pluto has gotten the shaft (#teamPluto). All of that and more on the podcast that didn’t know you in high school, but if we had we would have beat up any other podcasts that made fun of your Magic the Gathering collection – Hysteria 51.

On Friday there will be a post where you can vote for your favorite episode of the week. 1 person who voted will be picked at random for a prize pack so make sure to hop on Hysteria Nation if you like crap from dumb podcasts. I hope you lose! Nothing worse than a photobomb. There you are minding your own business, taking a picture of your lovely daughter and next thing you know some idiot time traveler / astronaut / inter-dimensional being drops his/her/its mug into your frame. And while we’ve all been through it, there’s a famous version we’re talking about this week - The Solway Firth Spaceman. Where did the other figure come from? Could this be a real, true documentation of a close encounter? How much is free film for a year actually worth? We dive in deep and see what develops. Plus, Conspiracy Bot actually did research this week (albeit unsuccessfully, but...ya know...baby steps). Brent channels his inner British housewife from the 1960s (it wasn’t a huge leap). And John starts talking about time travel again (we wish it existed so we could go back and stop him).

I hope you lose! Weird things happen in Kentucky…chili buns…distilleries in dry counties…Johnny Depp. But perhaps the strangest was the day it rained meat on a rural farmstead. The event, now known as the Kentucky Meat Shower, is not only 100% real, it’s also yet to be fully explained. What would cause the heavens to open and drop a meaty monsoon on an unsuspecting farmer’s wife? We grab our umbrellas (and grills) and dive in to the Kentucky Meat Shower this week. Plus, Joe Peck returns to the show (it was unexpected), Kyle gets buggy again (less unexpected), and Conspiracy Bot has a new song (we wish we hadn’t expected it).

I hope you lose! A recently deceased man’s body is discovered on an Australian beach. No signs of foul play and at first glance it appears to be just another unremarkable death. But then… The man can’t be identified…with any database…anywhere on the planet. All tags have been removed from his clothing, taking away the ability to even trace their country of origin. A small scrap of paper is found in his possession with two words in Persian, torn from a rare first edition book by a 12th century poet. Oh, and that natural death? Might not have been so natural. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg in what is considered Australia’s most perplexing cold case. The Somerton Man case has it all; love triangles, spy games, and even ciphers! Every good mystery needs a cipher. The H51 I-Team investigates. Plus, we discuss the various ways to die or get eaten in Australia, the return of C-Bot’s homicidal tendencies, and the return of the WHEEL OF CONSPIRACIES!

According to his posts on the internet, John Titor traveled back to the 70s to get a special computer to save time travel. He also made a pit stop along the way in the early 00's to live with his family (and 2 year old self) and presumably post snotty messages on inane internet forums (not stand-up forums like Hysteria Nation). Sound crazy? That's the most normal part of this story. This week we do our best Sam Beckett and try to fix what went wrong with the OG Chrononaut - John Titor. Plus, John and Brent ponder the existential perils of time travel (not really - just looking for ways to make money on it). Conspiracy bot ponders the existential perils of time travel (not really - just looking for other ways to kill John and Brent). And David Flora of Blurry Photos is back in the lower 4th (he just wants to time travel to a time before he met Conspiracy Bot). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t have time travel capabilities, but if we did, we’d do things to improve humanity…and make an insane amount of money – Hysteria 51.

FLASHBACK: Dulce Underground Base | 231
CBot here. It's Flashback week on Hysteria 51. Monday through Friday this week the meatsacks are releasing one of their favorite past episodes of the show. On Friday there will be a post where you can vote for your favorite episode of the week. 1 person who voted will be picked at random for a prize pack so make sure to hop on Hysteria Nation if you like crap from dumb podcasts. I hope you lose! Dulce, New Mexico: population 2,743…ABOVE GROUND! That’s right, according to some there is a secret base under Dulce that houses everything from classified US technology to reptilians. According to those same folks Dulce is one of the many underground facilities that Reptilians use to run experiments on humans. Oh, and there was a huge underground battle there between aliens and the US military. The aliens managed to win because they had advanced ray guns. And from there….the story REALLY starts to get strange. This week we grab our tinfoil hats and go down the reptilian hole as we explore the Dulce Underground Base. Plus, Conspiracy Bot stays sober long enough to do some writing (surprisingly true), we learn there is a Starbucks on Venus that employed Conspiracy Bot (not true at all), and Kevin Crispin is back in the lower 4th (fun and true)! All of that and more on the podcast that’s never fought reptilians underground, our battles have always taken place on Outworld (Reptile wins!) – Hysteria 51.

Fenn's Treasure: A Modern Day Treasure Hunt! | 230
A former Air Force pilot turned (possibly shady) art dealer thinks he's on his way to the grave in the late 80s and comes up with an idea. He's going to use his amassed wealth to put together a modern day treasure chest and go die next to it in the Rocky Mountains. The flaw in his plan? He didn't die. That man was Forest Fenn and he eventually decided in 2010 to hide the treasure anyway (without his body) and tell the world to go find it; winner take all. And with that the hunt was on. Over the course of the next decade hundreds of thousands of people searched high and low for this infamous box. Some even lost their lives in the pursuit. But was this treasure really out there? If so, were the clues really under everyone's noses in a poem Fenn had written? And perhaps most importantly, could John and Brent be any worse at poetry recital? We answer those questions and more this week as we go in search of Fenn's Treasure. Plus, Conspiracy Bot plugs yet another "Uncle Conspiracy Bot’s Fun Time Toy" (sigh), Kyle gets a change of scenery (and circuitry), and the studio gets a redecoration (not in a good way). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never found a buried treasure, but we did once stumble upon two tickets to paradise - Hysteria 51.

Lost Cosmonauts: Blurry Photos Takeover | BONUS
A conspiracy that leaves theorists a little Red in the face. Check your struts and chutes, Flora is blasting off straight into the heart of the lost cosmonaut conspiracy theory! A conspiracy involving soviet coverup of terrible atrocities, the lost cosmonaut theory deals with purported evidence of death after death in the race for space supremacy. Cries into the abyss, a faltering heartbeat, and airbrushed photos are just a few aspects of this theory. David delves deeply into the lore, examining audio files, photographs, and claims made by theorists. Just how bad was the loss of life? Was Yuri Gagarin really the first person in space?

The Black Forest UFO Incident of 1936: More Aliens and Nazis! | 229
In 1936 a UFO allegedly crashed in the Black Forest near Frieberg, Germany where Hitler's SS quickly recovered it for research. Could it be that THAT craft and the technology garnered from it ALMOST turned the tide of the war and gave Hitler access to uncanny COSMIC POWER?!?!!? Eh, probably not - but it's still worth an episode. This week we wrap ourselves in Old Glory and go alien/Nazi hunting as we revisit The Black Forest UFO Incident of 1936. Plus, John points out there are Black Forest gummy bears (strange), C-Bot points out there are Black Forest ghosts (that tracks), and the fellas discuss the #snydercut (NERDS).

The Wyrick Family Haunting | 226
Tons of kids have an imaginary friend. It's the same old song and dance. "Mom! Dad! My imaginary friend wants to push me on the swing! My imaginary friend is an old man in a black suit. My imaginary friend lost his hand to a cotton gin accident." You know...routine stuff. Anyway that's the beginning of this weeks haunting...and that's definitely only the beginning. From visits with dead neighbors, to scratches from demons, to hell-mouths opening in the living room - this story has it all. We grab our gear and go in search of the Wyrick family haunting this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot has some new subroutines (he's still a jerk), Kyle continues his baffling competence (it's only a matter of time), and John goes on a rant about Eli Whitney (because nothing's funnier than 18th century farm humor).

Toynbee Ideas in Kubrick's 2001 Resurrect Dead on Planet Jupiter. No, that's not some strange Fortean Mad Libs, it's a message that, in various iterations, has been found across the world for over 30 years. Etched into streets, these "Toynbee Tiles" remain a mystery to investigators to this day. Who put them there? Are they all the product of the same person or group? What's their intention? Does the hateful ideology found on a few of them apply to all of them? As usual we ask tough questions this week (and as usual we have a hard time answering them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ). Plus, Conspiracy Bot has a new product line (frightening). The new product line is geared to children (more frightening). And he's now calling people "daddy-o" (probably the most frightening).

The Mysterious Disappearance of Walter Collins | 223
It's hard to imagine the emotions that must be associated with the disappearance of a child. The intersection of loss, hope, and utter anxiety must be crushing. Now imagine you’re in that situation and one day, SOMEHOW, you get good news that the child has been found, safe. Continuing this thought experiment, what would relief be replaced with when they bring you the kid...and it isn’t yours. The kid resembles your child, the police swear it’s your child, but you’re a parent...you know. This is the exact thing that happened to Christine Collins in California in 1928. But WAS it actually her son, Walter? If not, who was this imposter? Was Christine simply losing her mind? And how are the Wineville murders and Canada involved? We put on our fedoras and investigate the mysterious disappearance of Walter Collins this week. Plus, Kyle gets an overhaul (for the better), he requests baked goods containing coagulated milk proteins (same song, different tune), and the fellas discuss the best Angelina Jolie flicks (Hackers obviously).

Stonehenge: Britain's Prehistoric Legos | 221
Not much description needed here. This week we talk Stonehenge, the prehistoric British monument built by aliens for Druidic sacrifices. Ok, well, the prehistoric and British parts are at least true. But WHO actually built it and WHEN? HOW did they do it? WHY do we still let Conspiracy Bot on the show? We travel to merry ol' England and ask the tough questions this week.

Butterbox Babies | 220
We wish we could tell you this week's topic is some weird cryptid or a yet to be discussed alien species. Unfortunately, it's something much worse (and Canadian!) "Butterbox Babies" is a reference to the size of the boxes a deranged Canadian couple used to bury 100s of babies across 3 decades in the early 20th century. How did this couple get away with it? Did the entire town turn a blind eye? If an American couple buys a baby in Canada, what's the exchange rate? We ask the tough questions this week as we examine The Butterbox Babies. Plus, Kyle still thinks he lives in Star Trek (TNG to be precise). Conspiracy Bot is apparently a fan of the show Earth 2 (and Antonio Sabàto Jr.), and the fellas discuss Canadian foods (ketchup chips anyone?). All of that and more on the podcast that had never heard of Butterbox Babies, but assumed it was someone’s nickname in high-school - Hysteria 51.

The Jersey Devil | 219
There are rules in this world. Rules not meant to be broken. Don't feed a Mogwai after midnight. Don't invade Russia in the winter. And for the love of all that's holy, don't curse your 13th child to the devil while living in New Jersey. If you do, you wind up with this week's cryptid - The Jersey Devil. This part dragon, part goat/horse monstrosity as been terrifying New Jersey and its neighbors for the better part of 3 centuries. But where did it come from? Is it real? Are Sandhill Cranes the true devil here? That's all this week as we grab our rope and a rosary to catch The Jersey Devil. Plus, Conspiracy Bot travels to Equatorial Guinea (we don't know either), a prospector finds his way to 17th Century New Jersey (Brent needs help), and the fellas talk about the most important topic of all: Taylor Ham vs pork roll. All of that and more on the podcast that’s never seen The Jersey Devil in person, we’re more into football - Hysteria 51.

The Most Evil Car in America | 218
What's the most evil car in America? Is it a 90's white Bronco? Perhaps one of those semis that spilled 1000s of gallons of booze all of the highway? The PT Cruiser? All good guesses but no, the most evil car in America is...a 1964 Dodge 330 L.E. nicknamed The Golden Eagle. While that might sound anticlimactic, this bad boy is said to have a killed a minimum of 14 people and perhaps a lot more. This week life is a highway and we wanna ride it all night long as we explore the Most Evil Car in America. Plus, the fellas debate the best evil cars in cinematic history, Kyle thinks he's the computer on the Enterprise (1701-D obviously), and John lectures us all on the right way to dispose of evil machinery.

Clowns | 217
We get funny like a clown this week as we take a look at...well...clowns. Where did these much maligned children’s characters come from? Why do we find them so frightening? Did anyone ever win the Grand Prize Game? Well, for the relevant and interesting stuff we have some help as author and journalist Linda Rodriguez McRobbie joins the fellas to break down why we all float down here. Plus, Conspiracy Bot starts work on a clown robot (scary), Brent discloses his unhealthy obsession with grease paint (scarier), and only a couple ICP references are made all episode (are the guys feeling ok?).

1941 Cape Girardeau UFO Crash: The Alien Coverup Before Roswell | 216
No one expects their grandma to hit them with some crazy family secrets while on her deathbed. But when those secrets involve a UFO crash, dead alien bodies, and a U.S. government coverup - well, granny sure knows how to go out with style. That's also the basis for this week's story as we go back in time to investigate the Cape Girardeau UFO Crash of 1941. Plus, the fellas talk Nick Pope shenanigans, drinking in cornfields, and enjoying small town wineries (separately of course - we're not implying the fellas were drinking at a winery in a cornfield with Nick Pope - though that sounds delightful).

2020 Wrap: Monoliths, Galactic Federations, and Potted Meat. We run screaming from 2020 like...someone trying to quickly escape a really crappy year (give us a break, we ran out of metaphors around the 34th month of 2020). To help wrap this dumpster fire we talk monoliths, galactic federations, and our favorites of 2020 (hint: Cyberpunk 2077 isn't among them). Oh, and we do a mini CAFEteria 51.

The Richat Structure: The Eye of Africa or The Heart of Atlantis? | 214
There isn't much we know about Atlantis (including whether it actually existed or not). And the few things we think we DO know are steeped in Greek lore. But what if Atlantis DID exist and wasn't anywhere near Greece? What if it were on an entirely different continent? This week Adam Poston of The Twisted Ten joins the fellas and makes the case that a geologic structure in modern day Mauritania is actually the ancient ruins of Atlantis. Plus, Conspiracy Bot starts reading the encyclopedia (we didn't know he could read either). Brent tells us why Atlanta holds a special place in his heart (hint: it's not the weather). And John makes inane jokes about Ancient Greek philosophers (we wish we were joking). All of that and more on the podcast that isn’t sure where Atlantis actually was...we didn’t have an altimeter when we visited - Hysteria 51.

How do you know things are serious? 1. Robert Stack gets involved. 2. Robert Stack gets involved... 'nuff said. How did a simple affair send one man to jail, kill another, and terrorize an entire hamlet...in a mystery that remains unsolved to this day? Ohio is the answer! We ask the rest of the questions this week as we examine the case of the Circleville Letters. Plus, Brent talks about his days as a vigilante (that's a kind interpretation), Conspiracy Bot acknowledges that most of his fans are in jail (also a kind interpretation), and C-Bot wants a pen pal (nothing clever to add here...just don't do it).

The Woman in Black at the Drake Hotel | 212
Drake Hotel - Chicago. While it's everyone's favorite boutique hotel that doubles as a plot point in Mission Impossible it ALSO happens to be the setting for an UNSOLVED MURDER-most-foul in 1940's Chicago. A mysterious woman in black shot and killed a local socialite in her own room. And in perhaps an equally appalling offense - she was wearing a lamb coat (ok, the murder might be worse, but this thing was hideous). Anyway, that's just the appetizer in this confounding conundrum involving grifters, disappearing evidence, and a Pulp Fiction level divine-intervention to save a second shooting victim. Oh yeah, and GHOSTS! This week we grab our khaki trench coats and investigate The Woman in Black at the Drake Hotel. Plus, Conspiracy Bot tells everyone how good at chess he is (surprising). Kyle tries to eat a chess board (less surprising). And we learn C-Bot's been playing checkers the entire time (there it is). All of that and more on the podcast that asks the tough questions – like, was everything in the olden days in black and white? – Hysteria 51.

Spring-Heeled Jack Revisited | Bonus
HOUSEKEEPING!!! WANT ME FLUFF PILLOW??? Maybe not that housekeeping, but it is a housekeeping week on Hysteria 51. We are switching to new host. What does that mean for you? Nothing, everything stays the same. But for us it just means some backend stuff while we get everything transitioned over. We will be back next week with brand new content, but until then enjoy one of our favorites from the back catalog, Spring-Heeled Jack! Original Description This week we hop BACK over the pond to merry ol’ England to tackle a most vile and sinister serial…slapper? Well – slapper, groper, fire belcher, carriage crasher, and more. This week we’re looking into the legend of Spring Heeled Jack. This mischievous prankster allegedly had metal claws, could leap over 10 ft. walls, breath blue fire, apparently loved to slap authority figures, and cause carriages to crash. But who was this British bouncer? Is this just a folk tale re-told over the years to explain away hundreds of different events, was there a person of extraordinary ability terrorizing the countryside, or were these just a series of glorified fraternity pranks? David Flora of the Blurry Photos p odcast joins the fun to help us uncover the identity of Britain’s strangest urban legend. Plus, Conspiracy Bot tries to get rid of Flora (he’s protective of BRENT’S beer), the fellas all try their hands at a British accent and fail miserably (shocking), and a related ghost in Long Island sounds eerily similar to Keanu Reeves (whoa). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never terrified women by blowing fire into their face, we do it the old-fashioned way, by letting them see our work ethic and bank account – Hysteria 51.

The Swimmers of Lake Baikal | 211
"You just never know what you'll see when you go swimming in Siberia." It's one of our favorite quotes (and one we just made up), but it's true and this week's topic proves it! In 1982 a team of Russian Navy divers go exploring in Lake Baikal when, to their amazement, they encounter giant, humanoid beings obviously not of this world. So, they did the only reasonable thing…tried to capture them with nets! Let's just say the rest of the story doesn't work out as well for the divers…it's the Swimmers of Lake Baikal this week on the show. Plus, the fellas discuss Dolph Lundgren's MENSA membership (and his dashing good looks), Conspiracy Bot finally starts to accept his loss in the election (things get broken), and Brent starts talking hip like the kids do (well, he tries). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never gone swimming in Siberia, when we’re there, we keep it to training for heavyweight bouts against Dolph Lundgren – Hysteria 51.

Mel's Hole | 210
Sometimes nature's rules don't apply. Paranormal phenomena defy physics. Living beings defy death. Substances and materials defy their own make-up. And sometimes random holes in the Pacific Northwest do all of the above! At least that's the story according to Mel Waters about his aptly named "Mel's Hole". Where exactly is the hole? Does it really contain supernatural powers? Can it bring creatures back from the dead? Is Gordon Freeman's story from Half-Life actually a true story? We tie a rope to our ankle and dive into Mel's Hole this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot refuses to concede the election (no surprise), Kyle makes a valid and salient point during a discussion (that is a surprise), and he then promptly overheats and shuts down (there it is). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never brought an animal back to life by throwing it down a bottomless pit – we do it the old fashioned way, by burying it on old Indian burial grounds in New England - Hysteria 51.

It's Electric: The Electric Universe "Theory" | 209
You didn't think flat-earthers had cornered the market on looney tunes, pseudoscientific explanations for how the world works, did you? Well, we pop that thought balloon this week as we delve into the world of the Electric Universe. TL;DR - all of that crap you learned in school was wrong and the root of every force in the universe is electricity. Oh, and black holes don't exist. There's more and if you want to hear it you'll have to tune-in (you should tune-in either way). Plus, C-Bot releases his final campaign commercial before the election (we know, we can't wait for it to be over either), Kyle explains the internet (you can guess how that goes), and TJ Withington of the "Pick Me Podcast" gets his wish and joins the show (we don't get it either).

Original Description: You’re laying in bed half asleep, half awake and see something out of the corner of your eye. Did that shadow just move? No, that’s silly. Shadows don’t move. But, then again…it really seemed like it moved…there it is again..but closer…and closer. It’s our ANNUAL HALLOWEEN SHOW and it’s time to talk Shadow People! Shadow people are thought by many to be conscious, intelligent, inter-dimensional beings that can move in and out of our dimension at will. And these bad boys aren’t here just to play canasta. They are reported to paralyze their victims, drain them of energy, and do much, much worse. We go hunting in the dark to find out more. Plus, we play some of our favorite clips from Halloween movies (fun!). Conspiracy Bot gets legs (bad idea!). And the show is joined by JP Doyal of Just Paranormal (horrible idea for him!). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t always see shadow people, but when we do it means 6 more weeks of HALLOWEEN – Hysteria 51.

The Cash-Landrum Incident pt 2 | 208
We've got UFOs, a potential rapture, and military helicopters. And that was just the tip of the huge, diamond shaped iceberg (so huge, it was likely bigger than a Walmart). Where did the radiation sickness come from? Was the government really involved? We dig in even deeper to the Cash Landrum Incident this week. Plus, the fellas ponder throwing Conspiracy Bot into molten steel (understandable). Kyle joins the Secret Service (less than understandable). And Dr. Chris Cogswell comes back to the Lower 4th to help decipher the madness (inexplicable). All of that and more on the podcast that’s days are running together so bad we’re even doing repeat episodes - Hysteria 51.

The Cash-Landrum Incident Part 1 | 207
They say diamonds are a girl's best friend. Well, not so much if said diamond is flying in the sky, messing up your sweet Oldsmobile, and emitting cancer causing radiation that ruins your life. We know what you’re thinking, "That old chestnut". But that is just what Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum, and Vickie’s grandson Colby say they experienced. We tackle the tough questions this week in Part 1 of our 2 part dive into the Cash Landrum Incident. Questions like did a secret military craft or even aliens change these people’s lives forever? Did Robert Stack wear clothes under all those trench coats on Unsolved Mysteries? Is Conspiracy Bot running for President? All that and more this week on the podcast that prefers to never be exposed to high levels of radiation…unless it’s gamma radiation… Hysteria 51 Special thanks to this week’s research sources: Research Assistant - Raymond Walden IV Books The Cash-Landrum UFO Incident | John F.

Disney Conspiracies: Secrets from the House of Mouse | 206
It might be the happiest place on earth, but there is some strange stuff going on with the corporate mouse machine. From cryogenically frozen founders to wraiths in the rides - the house of mouse has its share of folktale and lore. But which of these stories have a foundation in reality and which are nothing but glorified creepypasta? We put on our ears, grab an overpriced corndog, and get to the bottom of Disney conspiracies this week. Plus, the fellas talk about the benefits of living in Orlando (it’s a short conversation), Brent talk about the benefits of having Conspiracy Bot as your accountant (it’s a shorter conversation), and the show benefits with special guest James Payton (unfortunately for him, it isn’t a short conversation) All of that and more on the podcast that’s never been to a Disney theme park, but we do have robots with plans to have our heads frozen - Hysteria 51.

Somewhere in the Skies w/ Ryan Sprague | 205
Look, up in the sky, it's a bird.. it's a plane...crap, it's just a book. BUT it's an awesome book by one of our favorite UFOlogists, Ryan Sprague - and this week we interrogate Ryan on all things Somewhere In The Skies. How has UFOlogy changed in the last few years? Is disclosure being spoon fed to the American people? Will Blink-182 ever reunite? This week we ask the tough questions. Plus, what are the fellas reading in their spare time (hint: lots of pictures)? How tall is Tom Cruise (hint: not very)? And will John annoy us with another Tom DeLonge impression (hint: is water wet)? All of that and more on the podcast that doesn't read a lot, but when we do - the books have pictures - Hysteria 51.

The Great Escape From Alcatraz: Free Men or Fish Food? | 204
In the dead of night on June 11th 1962, four men set out to escape America’s ‘inescapable’ prison...three were never seen or heard from again. What was the fate of Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers? After crafting a master plan over the course of months, did they triumphantly escape Alcatraz and start new lives? Or, did nature stop the escape that guards couldn’t? This week we grab our raincoats and shivs and dive into San Francisco Bay as we investigate the escape from Alcatraz. Plus, Conspiracy Bot gets put in timeout (unsurprisingly), Kyle seems to enjoy timeout (unsurprisingly), and we discover a prison they willingly let Brent out of (surprisingly!). All of that and more on the podcast that made it through an entire episode about The Rock without one Sean Connery imitation (extra surprisingly) - Hysteria 51.

Life on Venus? | 203
Life... uhh… Finds a way. At least that's what Jeff Goldblum tells us. If you've been watching the news recently you have probably seen the finding of phosphine in the clouds of Venus, a biproduct of life. That's just what we are talking this week with the help of David Flora of Blurry Photos. Will Venus change the way we look for life? Is Lando Calrissian salivating at the news?

Well, that's just the chestnut this week as we tackle the Bell Witch with the help of returning guest and mustachioed mad man David Flora. Can Kyle cook up a spell?

The Shag Harbour UFO Incident | 201
This week’s topic is a lot like a mullet: business in the front and a party in the back! The Shag Harbour UFO incident starts as a fairly benign UFO sighting; a straightforward tale of “what was that in the sky?” But by the time it’s over we’ve got USOs, an alien rescue craft, and RUSSIANS! It’s crazy, it’s Canadian, it’s the Shag Harbour UFO incident this week. Plus, David Harbour’s dad-bod, John gets tripped up on his own joke, and former Special Forces Operator Jeff Adamec is back on the program to validate all of our military conspiracy hunches. He is also "former" DOD and Homeland Security so he may just be here keeping tabs on Conspiracy Bot, time will tell.

The Max Headroom Signal Hijacking | 199
Remember the good old days when hacking didn't mean election tampering? It just meant pirating a broadcast signal or putting a less than appropriate picture on the front page of someone's website. Well, we long for those simpler times and on this week's episode we're covering one of the most famous in history (hijacking broadcast signals…not naughty pictures). The Max Headroom Signal Hijacking took place here in the lower 4th (Chicago) on two separate stations (WGN / WTTW) on the same November night in 1987. And while the content wasn't sinister - it certainly did cause an uproar. The strange broadcast interruption was a weird blend of anti-establishment rant and absurdist comedy (with some spanking thrown in for good measure). The strangest thing? The case has never been solved. So grab you New Coke, pop in a blank VHS and hit record as we cover the The Max Headroom Signal Hijacking this week. Plus Conspiracy Bot goes all Outer Limits on us, then C-Bot decides to go hack someone else's podcast with Kyle's help, and Moxie LaBouche of the Your Brain on Facts podcast goes slummin' and joins this dumpster fire to help sort out the insanity.

Number Stations Revisited | BONUS
Brent and John are out this week so Cbot takes the helm to bring back Number Stations for another spin. The boys will be back next week with max Brooks for a cryptid filled ride into his new book, Devolution! Number Stations original Description: Why are there nearly untraceable radio broadcasts all around the world of seemingly random number sequences? What is their true purpose and who is behind them? Are these vestiges of Cold War spy-craft? A simplistic way for modern day terrorists to communicate? Or simply the most bizarre way to communicate with aliens this side of “Out Of This World” (you realize that was Burt Reynolds)? This week we head that the local RadioShack, get a cipher pad, and get to work. Plus, Conspiracy Bot decides he’s going to win the lottery (he won’t). We talk bad morning FM radio (we hate shows with too many drops and worthless characters). And we question how good Cuba actually is at this whole espionage thing (but man are they good at the sandwich thing). All of that and more on the podcast that isn’t in the spy game, but if we were we’d probably be a lot less James Bond and a lot more Austin Powers – Hysteria 51.

Satanic Panic Revisited | BONUS
John and Brent are on assignment this week procuring more Bot Booze ingredients for CBot. That means we get to revisit one of their favorite episodes from the past: Satanic Panic! Original Description Remember that year or two in the 80’s when you weren’t allowed to do anything? Yeah – this week’s topic was pretty much the problem. The “Satanic Panic” was this all too real period mostly during the 80’s that America’s housewives knew their kid’s souls were being stolen by “beelzebub”, Ozzy, and anyone else they were listening to on that “devil machine”. The problem with this joke is real people suffered. Real lives were lost and the “devil” had nothing to do with any of it. We break out our black t-shirts, dye our hair, and get to the HYSTERIA (too obvious?) behind it all this week. Plus, C-Bot makes it as a comedian (he thinks), Brent goes chaotic neutral (an upgrade?), and the boys welcome a “pentagram” of guests (it really was an accident).

Elvis From Outer Space | 196
We all know Elvis is living with Tupac and JFK under the pyramids. That said, over the years there have been as many stories, theories, and rumors about Elvis’ demise (or lack thereof) as hip thrusts in Jailhouse Rock. And while the debate rages on for some, a new sci-fi flick has a decidedly different angle on what happened. Elvis From Outer Space is a fun take on the Elvis conspiracy world - where the King didn’t die in Memphis, but rather went to live with the Grays in Alpha Centauri. This week we explore the lore behind the Elvis world of conspiracy and interview both the film’s director and star. Plus, Brent tries his best Elvis hip shake, Conspiracy Bot is selling pills to kids, and we go deep on Michael Jackson’s hair fire. All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t actually believe Elvis is still alive…and we mostly blame the robot – Hysteria 51.

Punk Rock and UFOS w/ Mike Damante | 195
This week we interview author Mike Damante and talk his newest book- Punk Rock and UFOs: Stranger Than Fiction. Is there a connection between Punk Rock and UFOs? Is there a connection between organized religion and Bad Religion (still love 21st Century Digital Boy)? And is a band actually a band if there are no members of the band in the band? We go deep this week. Plus, the fellas discuss their favorite songs for space exploration, Conspiracy Bot digs into Brent’s old CD collection (yikes), and we play some more tunes from Majungas. All of that and more on the podcast who’s hosts read a lot of books, but the same cant be said for the head researcher– Hysteria 51. Guest Bio: Mike Damante is the author of the non-fiction trilogy of the paranormal “Punk rock and UFOs” series “Punk rock and UFOs: Stranger Than Fiction," “Punk rock and UFOs: True Believers" and "Punk Rock and UFOs: Cryptozoology Meets Anarchy." In 2019 he released his first YA fiction novel “Pumpkin Spice and Nothing Nice.” Damante worked for the Houston Chronicle as a copy editor, writer, reporter and web producer. He currently produces their "MIKED" music blog and has interviewed bands and musicians like Bad Religion, blink-182, Taking Back Sunday, Tom DeLonge, Tegan and Sara, Aerosmith, B.o.B and countless others. He is an award-winning educator, and teaches Journalism, English and Creative Writing in Houston, Texas.

Wilson / Davis Papers: Proof the Gov’t KNOWS? | 194
Secret meetings tend to be secret because secrets are being secreted around because they’re...ya know...secret. But sometimes records of those meetings get released. And sometimes they’re about aliens. And sometimes they’re about reverse engineering extraterrestrial technology. The Wilson / Davis papers are supposedly that. But are they real? Can the players be trusted? Is Blink-182 involved again? That’s this week as we discuss the Wilson / Davis papers. Plus, we create the Bob Lazar Extended Universe (like Marvel but less believable), Dr. Chris Cogswell resurfaces to science us up (it’s almost as if you’re doing too much...nevermind), and the fellas discuss the DC movie universe (the cartoons might be better). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t always do episodes on secret government meetings, but when we do they tend to be insignificant and with lower level officials - Hysteria 51.

The Solway Spaceman: An Intergalactic Photo Bomb | 192
Nothing worse than a photobomb. There you are minding your own business, taking a picture of your lovely daughter and next thing you know some idiot time traveler / astronaut / inter-dimensional being drops his/her/its mug into your frame. And while we’ve all been through it, there’s a famous version we’re talking about this week - The Solway Firth Spaceman. Where did the other figure come from? Could this be a real, true documentation of a close encounter? How much is free film for a year actually worth? We dive in deep and see what develops. Plus, Conspiracy Bot actually did research this week (albeit unsuccessfully, but...ya know...baby steps). Brent channels his inner British housewife from the 1960s (it wasn’t a huge leap). And John starts talking about time travel again (we wish it existed so we could go back and stop him). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t do a ton of photo shoots, but when we do they’re in the UK and they involve a spaceman – Hysteria 51.

Revisiting Robert Smalls: The Civil War's Most Incredible Untold Story | 191
This week we’re taking a breath. After the murder of George Floyd and ensuing justified protests…and military intervention in said protests – we couldn’t let the moment pass without saying something. We’re 2 white guys in middle America. We are literally the definition of white privilege. So, we’re not going to pretend to understand what its like to walk around black in this country. But, that doesn’t mean we don’t empathize and see the need for radical reform. The inhumane police brutality perpetuated on the black people of this country has to stop. Names like Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Philando Castile, Breonna Taylor, Justin Howell, Jamel Floyd, and countless others are etched into the shameful footnotes of the history of this country and we have to be better. We know there has been looting. And, we know not all cops are bad. But people need to stop using these arguments as if they negate the REALNESS of what is happening and HAS BEEN happening for literally hundreds of years to the black community of this country. It’s a false equivalency. BLACK LIVES MATTER. It can’t be said enough. So, instead of a new episode this week we’re releasing an episode we’re proud of that raises up one of history’s black heroes. And while we’ll continue to try and do a better job of elevating black stories of a fortean nature. Its up to all of us to take steps in our own community. Vote, Speak Out, Donate, Protest. Most importantly, STAND UP when you see racism happening. Stay Woke, Meatsacks! Original Description Imagine this for a potential movie: Guy is born into slavery. Escapes his bonds by stealing the ship he’s a slave on and delivering it to the Union (it’s the Civil War). He goes onto captain the very boat he was a slave on, buy the house he was slave in, and eventually be elected to Congress. And that isn’t even half the story. While it isn’t a movie, it is the story of Robert Smalls and it’s so incredible we cover it this week. Plus, Joe Peck somehow figures out how to make an appearance without actually being on the show, C-Bot gets a kill-switch, and Lincoln joins the show (the President…not John’s son). All of that and more on the podcast never captained a ship, but we imagine it would be less Robert Smalls and more Gilbert and Sullivan – Hysteria 51..

The Gulf Breeze Incident(s) - Florida Man Goes UFO Huntin' | 188
Look, we know Florida gets a bad rap. You have one bath salt zombie and all of a sudden, you're the crazy state. And while tales of alligators on meth are great fodder for the local news outlets, it seems some groups a little farther from home have taken a shining to the…Sunshine State. One specific town there to be specific - Gulf Breeze, Florida. In the late 80's and early 90's, Gulf Breeze was a magnet for UFO sightings and alleged abductions. But why was so much of this activity centered around a guy named Ed Walters? Is his photographic evidence legit? Why would aliens communicate with poker dog pics? We grab our windbreakers and investigate the Gulf Breeze flap this week. Plus, Rob Kristoffersen from the Our Strange Skies podcast joins the fun. Kyle seems possessed again. And Conspiracy Bot offers his help during these uncertain times (you don't want it). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t always hear aliens speaking to us telepathically, but when we do it’s ALF - Hysteria 51.

Doomsday Clock: Countdown to Extinction w/ The Brohio Podcast | 187
Did you know the world is going to end in 100 seconds? Well, sort of. Welcome to the Doomsday Clock - a measurement on how close mankind is to destroying itself. And while it might sound like the super weapon used by the bad guy in a surprisingly educational James Bond movie, it's actually a science backed vehicle for educating the world on how close The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists believes we are to wiping ourselves off the face of the planet. Between climate change, nuclear proliferation, disruptive tech, and Tiger King - we're closer to the end of it all than we've ever been. But is the clock accurate? Can we turn back the hands of time? What do the reptilians have to do with it? It's the end of the world as we know it and we feel fine as we unpack the Doomsday Clock this week. Plus, the fellas are joined by the Delicious Nickalicious and Rob Dog from The Brohio Podcast (they're nice). Conspiracy Bot tries to advance the Doomsday Clock (he's not).

Atomic Spies: The Secret Soviet Program To Nick A Nuke | 186
In the years leading up to WW2, scientists from all over the world speculated about the potential for a new type of weapon – one that harnessed the power of the atom. And while the Americans, Brits, and Canadians were busy building the largest secret project in the history of secret projects (The Manhattan Project)...the Soviets had a different strategy: just steal it. So, as WW2 rages on, the US and USSR are still frenemies. But, under the surface the Cold War has begun. Enter the Atomic Spies. Exactly how many agents did the Soviets have under our noses? Were they successful in stealing our secrets to create their own nuke? Did Picasso know The Pope? We grab our decoder rings and infiltrate the Atomic Spies this week. Plus, C-Bot thinks Yakov Smirnoff makes a good vodka (¯\_(ツ)_/¯), Kyle knows waaaay too much about Brent and John’s past (¯\_(ツ)_/¯), and Kevin Crispin and JTR Brown make a return to the lower 4th (¯\_(ツ)_/¯).

JAL Flight 1628: UFOs Bigger Than A Walmart | 185
It’s 1986 and you’re haulin’ massive amounts of French hooch back to Japan. Admittedly it would tempting to get ‘high on your own supply’, but flying a 747 while drunk is frowned upon. Yet, by the end of the flight, some might assume you were. Why? Well, you saw 3 big ol’ UFOs over eastern Alaska. We’re talking gravity defying, Tic Tac level UFOs. And that’s only the beginning of the story of the Japan Airlines Flight 1628 Incident. What did the pilots really see? Is it possible for one pilot to see something the others don’t? Just exactly how many Walmarts make up an air craft carrier? We ask the tough questions this week as we get to the bottom of the incident. Plus, the fellas talk the long forgotten Spike TV gem MXC (if you haven’t, you must), Kyle learns yet another language (how does this keep happening?), and there’s at least one reference to Mr Roboto (if you haven’t, you sort of, MAYBE should). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t always cover UFO stories from Alaska, but when we do – they most certainly involve wine – Hysteria 51.

Agenda 21: Good Suggestions or Gross Subjugation? | 184
Agenda 21 - What is it? Some new video game where you’re an assassin who gets double crossed by the very organization you work for? Or, perhaps it’s a coming of age teen comedy, all about a profane, yet lovable group of high schoolers on a quest to score beer for the BIG party. Or MAYBE it’s a multinational, multilateral, non-binding, action plan from the United Nations! If you guessed C you’re right (though we kinda wish it was A or B)! BUT, to some, it also could be a ‘wolf-in-sheep’s clothing’ plan to establish the New World Order and control the population as to benefit the Earth (yeah, we hadn’t heard of eco-fascism either). But what’s the truth? Is this a toothless list of suggestions that is nothing more than the multi-national, Utopian version of Eat Pray Love? Or, is it a sinister plot by a cabal of business and political leaders to eventually enslave us? We grab our Julia Roberts movie collection and investigate this week. Plus, C-Bot pines for the future that was Robocop (he’s a Kurtwood Smith fan), Kyle does his best ED-209 impression (we hope it was an impression), and the Wayans Brothers make an appearance on the show (not really, but we talk about them).

Paris Time Gap | 183
One mysterious night in the early 20th century all pendulum clocks stopped at the exact same moment in Paris, France. At that same moment, 1000's of Parisians experienced dizziness, nausea, and more. The strangest thing about the whole thing? The story didn’t appear in full until a 2019 episode of Top 10 Secrets and Mysteries (Netflix’s Ancient Aliens, but more non-E.T. stuff). Did something truly extraordinary happen that night in Paris, or does Netflix have an extraordinarily bad show on their hands? We go back in time this week to dig up the answer. Plus, we learn what soaps Conspiracy Bot is watching (what?), we learn Kyle speaks Spanish (what??), and we learn how you spend quarantine with 2 idiot robots (carefully). All of that and more on the podcast doesn’t always talk about missing time – but certainly wish we could skip a couple weeks of this quarantine – Hysteria 51.

H51 Classic: Bug IN Bag (also our incoherent ramblings on today's state of affairs) | BONUS
What do you do when there’s a global pandemic? RECYCLE OLD MATERIAL! OK, we kid, but in this special release we’re giving you an oldy, but a goody – our 9th episode – “Prepping for the Apocalypse”. But have no fear, you get a good 20 minutes of meaty John and Brent goodness up front talking about the coronavirus, John’s positive test (you’ll have to listen to know what that means), and the likely cause of all this (it involves C-Bot). Then we launch into the episode dating all the way back to a simpler time…2016. When all we had to worry about were election results. Ah, the good ol’ days. ANYWAY, here it is in all of its pre-pandemic glory. Also, on the advice of council we’d like to stress we aren’t endorsing turning into Brendan Fraser in Blast From The Past – just keep your eyes open and if you want to order one or two things on Amazon that could help in a pinch – hey no one is stopping you. Stay healthy, look out for one another, and call your family – they’re bored. XOXOXO – Hysteria 51. Original Description: Zombies, civil unrest, natural catastrophe, Trump, alien invasion, super contagion…all potential harbingers of apocalypse. When the time comes, will you be prepared? In episode 9 Brent and John dive into the world of doomsday prepping. Want to know what to put in a bug-out bag? Brent will tell you (but if you need a knife suggestion – we wouldn’t ask him). John learns everything he needs to know from YouTube, and the fellas talk the advantages of “bugging in” (hint: mattresses are more comfortable than rocks).

The Kentucky Meat Shower: The Day It Rained Meat | 178
Weird things happen in Kentucky…chili buns…distilleries in dry counties…Johnny Depp. But perhaps the strangest was the day it rained meat on a rural farmstead. The event, now known as the Kentucky Meat Shower, is not only 100% real, it’s also yet to be fully explained. What would cause the heavens to open and drop a meaty monsoon on an unsuspecting farmer’s wife? We grab our umbrellas (and grills) and dive in to the Kentucky Meat Shower this week. Plus, Joe Peck returns to the show (it was unexpected), Kyle gets buggy again (less unexpected), and Conspiracy Bot has a new song (we wish we hadn’t expected it).

Operation Mincemeat: The Hero Who Never Was | 177
Did you know that James Bond saved the Allies during WW2 and turned the tide of the war? Well, that’s the clickbait, misleading version – but closer to accurate than you think. Operation Mincemeat was a secret spy plan executed by the MI5, Britain’s counter-intelligence and security agency, during WW2. The audacious plan involved planting fake war plans, tracking a single eyelash, and the success of one agent, Captain (Acting Major) William Martin – who was already dead. We’ll explain that. We grab our shoe phone, hop into our Aston Martin, and sneak into Operation Mincemeat this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot is cooking again (that’s bad), Kyle is helping him cook (that’s worse), and the fellas try the cooking (RIP).

The Mysterious Disappearance of the Yuba County 5 | 176
In late February of 1978, five men were heading home from attending a college basketball game when they stopped for some snacks. This would be the last time the men were seen or heard from again (maybe). Thus begins the strange story of the Yuba County Five. What caused these men to drive the opposite direction of their homes in the dead of night? Why would they navigate up a snowy mountain road only to abandon their (perfectly good) car and set out on foot? Where is the fifth man whose remains were never found? And that’s only the tip of the iceberg on this truly bizarre and mystifying tale. We grab our flashlights and snowshoes to go in search of the Yuba County Five this week. Plus, Alexa tries to take over John’s hosting duties (might be an improvement), we discover that for some reason Conspiracy Bot has dry cleaning (he’ll try to explain), and the fellas spend way too much time examining an inane aspect of the story (translation: it’s just another episode).

Water Fluoridation: I Drank What? | 175
Three quarters of the United States’ public water supplies and supplies of at least 24 other countries are artificially fluoridated. Meaning, fluoride is added to the drinking water to pass it along to the population. Ostensibly this is being done to strengthen our teeth (you paid attention in health class, right?) BUT, there are some that believe there is a much more sinister plan behind the synthetic shenanigans. Is this simply a harmless additive that we should thank the government for, or is there something much more sinister behind the additive? Are they saving us dentist appointments or turning us into witless lemmings as to allow THEM to do as they please? We grab our water bottles and talk fluoridation this week. Plus, British Announcer guy pops in unannounced (not surprising), Conspiracy Bot isn’t happy to seem him (also not surprising), and the Brit has an unhealthy interest in Kyle (a bit more surprising).

Lake City Quiet Pills: Reddit, Internet Mysteries, and Assassins…Oh My! | 174
The internet is full of mysteries. Most of them are driven by either a lack of information or a gigantic leap in logic. But then there’s some, some that can’t be explained away by ignorance. Some that can’t be ignored by logic. Case in point, the mystery of the Lake City Quiet Pills. What begins, at cursory glance, with the death of an aging veteran with a penchant for inappropriate photos of young women – quickly devolves into what could be a world-wide network of mercenaries and assassins. Was there a secret group of top level mercs-for-hire executing deadly missions all across the world – all being puppet mastered by a redditor named Religion of Peace? Or is this yet another case of the uninformed leading the ignorant into the mobius strip of phony internet hoaxes? That’s the Lake City Quiet Pills and it’s this week. Plus, the fellas talk the Oscars (not really, but unlike the Oscars – Rambo Last Blood makes an appearance here). Kyle seems a little off (well, more than usual).

The Assassination of Rasputin: 99 Problems But a Tsar Ain’t One | 173
There lived a certain man in Russia long ago. He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow. Most people look at him with terror and with fear. But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear. He could preach the Bible like a preacher, full of ecstasy and fire. But he also was the kind of teacher women would desire. OK – that doesn’t have a ton to do with the actual Rasputin, but man it’s a fun 1978 Euro disco hit single by the Germany-based pop band Boney M. That’s where we start week 2 of our exploration of Rasputin. And while his eyes might not have actually been aflame, his supernatural reputation continues to precede him. Was he really a mystic healer? Did he actually eat enough cyanide to kill a small town without the slightest effect? How many bullets can you put into a “mad monk” before he goes down? We stay in Russia this week as we explore the death and legacy of everyone’s favorite miscreant – Ra-Ra-Rasputin. Plus, Conspiracy Bot admits a penchant for crocheting (we don’t know), Brent spends a little too much time researching…lil Rasputin (again, no idea), and John drops a Bonya and Kuzmich reference (we give up). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t always get its hosts back, but when we do – we aren’t sure they were better than the replacements - Hysteria 51.

Rasputin: Magical Dark Monk or Malodorous Drunk Mountebank? | 172
Grigori Rasputin was one of the vilest, yet powerful villains in history. He was a giant both metaphorically and literally. He controlled magical powers of the dark arts, likely supplied by the devil. He was so powerful that after being poisoned, shot, stabbed, shot again, beaten, and thrown into a river – he was not yet dead. Or…. Grigori Rasputin was a short, drunk womanizer that constantly stunk. Yet somehow, he wormed his way into the royal court of Nicholas the 2nd, the last Czar of Russia. Any “magic” or paranormal ability he showed was a mixture of good old-fashioned quackery and psycho somatic results – amplified by legend and time. Which is true? Could both be legitimate accounts of one of the most notorious names in Russian history. We grab our ruler and head to 19th Century Russia to find out this week. Plus, Brent mistakes early 20th century Russian literature for Star Trek (who hasn’t?), Conspiracy Bot compares childhood mortality rates in 19th Century Russia to a Meatloaf song (who hasn’t), and the fellas get sick on Aldebaran whiskey for national “Ditch Your New Year’s Resolutions Day” (again, who hasn’t?). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t always talk late 19th century Russian historical figures, but when we do you better believe they have their own theme song - Hysteria 51.

Thylacine: Hunted to Extinction or Hide & Seek Champ Since 1936? | 171
So often on shows like this we talk about a cryptid that might not even have ever BEEN. Their mere existence; conjecture – their birth; legend. BUT, this case is a bit different. The Thylacine or Tasmanian Tiger was a real, honest-to-goodness, Linnaean classified animal! No conjecture here. There are stuffed versions of these bad boys in museums across the world! But, what happened to them? Did this missing marsupial truly go extinct, or did they recede into the shadows to become the subject of folktale and lore fueled by real sightings? We grab our boxing gloves and go on a walkabout in search of Tassie this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot decides he’s going to get professorial (he fails), Alexa is getting jealous of Kyle (we don’t know why either), and the fellas debate the virtues of Wombats vs Tasmanian Devils (it’s a big day for marsupials). All of that and more on the podcast that has never successfully driven a species to extinction, but it won’t keep our robot from trying – Hysteria 51.

Ectoplasm: Real Ghost Goo or Make-Believe Muck? | 170
“He slimed me”. This quote from the venerable parapsychologist Dr Peter Venkman was likely your introduction to the phenomenon known as ectoplasm. But Slimer and the Ghostbusters weren’t the first folks to encounter the goo. Ectoplasm has been reported and photographed for over a century. Is this paranormal plasma truly a physical manifestation of the spirit world or simply another hoax perpetuated by fools and phonies? We grab our Ecto Coolers and dive into a warm pool of Ectoplasm this week. Plus a member of the show makes their triumphant return (oh and John’s back too), bad jokes are made about being slimed (Brent is still here), and Conspiracy Bot screws up the very small amount of research he was supposed to do (stay gold, Ponyboy). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t always have its hosts go on sabbatical, but when we do it’s for a good reason (cheese muffins) - Hysteria 51.

KRAMPUS - A Conspiracy Bot Bonus!
CBot wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas.... But he is lazy.... So he decided to just re-upload our Krampus Episode to make your festivities even jollier. Enjoy!! It’s the most wonderful time of the year and you know what that means. Stockings, snowmen, hot chocolate, nativity scenes, gingerbread men, horned goat half demons that will drag children to hell. That’s right, to go right along with Jolly Ol’ Saint Nick, there’s a more sinister Christmas character lurking beneath the shadows. Krampus – the Christmas Demon! Santa might bring gifts for good little girls and boys – Krampus doesn’t. The hairy beast hits bad kids with sticks and sometimes even throws them in his sack to take back to hell. This week we fire up the Hysteria Sleigh and explore the legend. Plus, are non-Christmas Christmas movies actually Christmas movies (trust us, it’ll make sense)? Conspiracy Bot does his best Clark Griswold. And the fellas exchange Christmas gifts (just be glad they didn’t buy for you). So throw another yule log on the fire, grab a glass of eggnog and cozy up for one hell of a Christmas tradition as we celebrate the holidays the only way we know how on the podcast that doesn’t always do a holiday episode, but when it does…does it right – Hysteria 51.

It’s back into the world of cults this week as we take on Waco part Deux, the return of the Vernon Wayne Howell aka David Koresh,the septuagenarian buggering wannabe rock-star turned sinful messiah.

Skinny Bob | 162
From the first contact in 1942, a series of diplomatic visits to discuss matters of mutual concern were planned. Under the treaty 23/04, these meetings would take place in secrecy, a limited number of special agents would escort visitors and they would only meet high ranking officers… or at least that is what a series of videos posted to YouTube in 2011 by ivan0135 tells us. The videos that introduced us to Skinny Bob, alien sensation! Was Ivan a man in the know drip feeding us disclosure? A KGB plant testing our gullibility? Or is it all a poorly done hoax and some thrown together CGI? We tackle that this week with the help of Rob Kristofferson from Our Strange Skies Podcast. Also, Cbot get’s his inspirational quotes from a surprising source (Celebrity rants), Goforth is still out (Bangkok has him now), and Brent ponders Remote viewing classes (fingers crossed he tales them).

Never judge a book by is cover, judge it by the bumps on its head! Or so Franz Joseph Gall would have had you believe when he developed Phrenology in the 1700’s. That’s right, it’s pseudoscience week this week as Kevin Crispin stops by to help us take a peek at Phrenology and how it was used for racism, sexism, classism, and all sorts of other crappy isms.

The Death of Azaria Chamberlain | 159
The death of your child has to be one of the worst things a parent ever has to face. Now imagine everyone blames you, you go to prison for it, and the event becomes the butt of a world wide joke. FUN! Yeah, probably not, but that is what happened with the death of Azaria Chamberlain, the story that created the phrase “Dingo Ate My Baby”. This week Brent heads back down under to try and get to the bottom of this story with the help of Mr. David Flora of Blurry Photos (they probably fail), Cbot tries his hand at poetry (he definitely fails), and Vegemite makes an appearance (it fails David’s taste test).

Plus CBot throws his hat into the hosting ring(don’t worry, we won’t let him), David talks about his Hypnotic Regressions sessions (He may or may not have been Joan of arc in a former life), and we sit down with the creators of the Documentary Extraordinary: The Seeding to talk Alien-Human Hybrids!! All that and more on the podcast that asks if someone is a human / alien hybrid – aren’t they technically a GMO? – Hysteria 51 Extraordinary: The Seeding Abductions. Reproduction experiments. Memories of seeing children off-planet. The idea of humans participating in an alien hybrid program sounds absurd until you talk to people who have experienced it. Thousands of women and men around the world have had reproductive experiments carried out against their will. The most harrowing? Unexplained pregnancies that terminate without explanation. In many cases, the memories of what happened remain suppressed and fragmented, leaving experiencers confused, depressed and with a profound sense of loss. In others, the memories are visceral and emotionally disturbing. Thanks to increased public acceptance and regression therapy, more and more people are coming forward with stories of abductions and strange fertilization procedures that occur during their frightening experiences. Are aliens involved in a complex hybridization project where human females are used as vessels to carry hybrid fetuses and human males have their sperm harvested until they’re ready to be transferred “elsewhere?” And if so, to what end? “Extraordinary: The Seeding” is a riveting documentary that tells these stories through one-on-one interviews with abductees-brave individuals willing to share intensely personal and emotional stories with the rest of the world. Through analysis with global ufology experts, the film also explores hybridization, why it’s happening and what the impact on humanity is and will be. The information presented is intended to educate, entertain and encourage audiences to ask one simple question: What if this is all true?

The Shaver Mystery: Ancient Robots, Evil Aliens, and the Caves They Live In | 157
We’ve all been there – you’re on the job and something goes wonky with your welding gun. Next thing you know you’re telepathic and can not only read the thoughts of your co-workers, but also an evil race of robots living underground. You know, that old yarn. Well, it also happened to Richard Shaver and afterwards he sent his account of living with them to a magazine. When the magazine’s publisher received it, he did the logical thing: re-wrote it to be 3 times longer and published it. And if this sounds wild, that’s just the tip of the stalactite. This week we grab our ray guns and pick axes as we go in search of The Shaver Mystery. Plus, Conspiracy Bot thinks you can podcast through a ham radio (actually might improve this show), he also thinks he smells burnt toast (weird for a robot with a toaster for a head), and the fellas turn a fake language into a treatment for irregularity (I’d love to tell you this makes more sense when you listen, but I don’t want to lie).

Mongolian Death Worms: Acidic Annelid or Nomad Nonsense? | 156
We’re back in the cryptid cornucopia this week with Mongolian Death Worms. We know, we know….they sound cuddly, but we wouldn’t suggest snuggling up. These enormous worm-like creatures allegedly live in the Gobi desert and snack on locals for sport. They spit acid, shoot electricity, and will kill a man by a mere touch (yeah, we’re surprised it isn’t Australian too). But are Mongolian Death Worms the surreptitious stalkers from legend, or are they merely a campfire tale passed down through generations? We grab the spice, call Kevin Bacon, and escape the Great Pit of Carkoon this week as we investigate. Plus, Kyle seems to be MIA (at least its quieter), Conspiracy Bot predicts Brent’s demise (is it a prediction if you cause it?), and the fellas discuss the weird stuff they did with bugs as a kid (magnifying glasses anyone?). All of that and more on the podcast that wonders, if you cut a Mongolian Death Worm in half do you get two Mongolian Death Worms? Hysteria 51.

Westall UFO Incident: A Close Encounter of the Australian Kind | 154
Elementary school is such a fun experience. How could you not love the art projects, lunchtime with your friends, recess, UFO sightings…. Well, that last one is specific to a small suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (also colloquially known as Westall). The Westall UFO Incident took place on April 6th, 1966, when over 200 students and faculty in the area reportedly observed multiple UFOs defying physics and toying with other, more terrestrial aircraft. This was followed by the appearance of a mysterious military type unit with designs on covering the whole thing up. What really happened in Westall? Who were the mysterious men telling locals to keep their mouths shut? Do windsocks react with swamp-gas? We head back to the Land Down Under this week and investigate. Plus, British Announcer Guy is back and has a bone to pick with Conspiracy Bot (this might not end well), the fellas try to calm things down with a negotiation of sorts (also not likely to end well), and even Kyle gets involved (definitely will not end well). All of that and more on the podcast that knows for a fact there wasn’t a UFO seen over Australia…because Australia isn’t real – Hysteria 51.

Plum Island: Bio Weapon Black Site or Disease Deterrent? | 153
If the U.S. were to have a facility to exclusively study the deadliest animal pathogens in the world. Where do you think they would put it? Some remote outpost in the middle of nowhere? Thousands of feet underground? An island just off the coast of New York? If you took door number 3 you’re our winner…of foot and mouth disease! Plum Island, or the Plum Island Animal Disease Center is just off the coast of Long Island and studies some of the worst known animal diseases out there. But is that all they study? Is it really as safe as they say? Are there secret Nazi scientists are working on some of the most gruesome and devilish bio-weapons right under our noses? We slip into our bio-hazard suits and research it this week. Plus, the robots are on everyone’s last nerve (cheese muffins), a certain British announcer makes his way to the Lower Fourth (no, we still don’t really understand him), and Brent gives everyone a nautical lesson on WW2 era submarines (let’s just say you shouldn’t site him as a research source).

The Great Pyramid of Giza is a Water Pump w/ Steven Myers | 152
The majesty of the Great Pyramid of Giza is unrivaled. Its masterful design, its mind-boggling construction, the fact that’s its just an ancient, enormous water pump in the middle of the desert. Ummm, well, that’s the opinion of more than one expert and that of our guest this week – Steve Meyers. Steven has been studying the Great Pyramid for decades and contends its design is that of a functioning water pump to quench the thirst of the ancient Egyptians (or whoever) that built them. So, this week we grab our advanced degrees in hydraulic engineering and go in search of Giza. Plus, a reference to the Large Hadron Collider and its similarity to a certain calendar makes its way back to the show (it was Conspiracy Bot ), the fellas discuss their favorite “out of place artifact” (it’s not Conspiracy Bot), and both robots seem a little glitchier than normal (mostly just Conspiracy Bot). All of that and more on the podcast that believes all ancient monuments have a modern day use – they look like calendars - Hysteria 51.

Abominable Snowman: Our Second Yeti Episode That We Cleverly Named To Trick You Into Listening | 151
Yetis are like Jello – there’s always room for more. This week we dive even deeper into the fury beasts. What do the locals think? Where can you find the scalp? What’s the difference between a Sherpa and a sherpa (there is one). And finally, once and for all, are they real and what are they? So, once again, we pack up our snow gear and head into the fray. Plus, Conspiracy Bot surprises everyone and does some work (something’s fishy with that). Kyle says he did his work, but didn’t (nothing fishy there). And we welcome back Erik Severinghaus to give a bit more color to the Himalayas (Pecker is back too and he’s always fishy). All of that and more on the podcast that finds Yetis so nice, we decided to do them twice - Hysteria 51.

Yeti: Himalayan Horror or Hiker’s Hooey? | 150
Bigfoot seems to be getting all of the press these days, but what about his O.G. cousin from the far north? The Abominable Snowman or Yeti has appeared in legend, folklore, and adventurer’s stories for years...but what is it? Are we dealing with a, yet unidentified, specimen of ape or bear? Perhaps a hominid cousin we’re not yet aware of? A true snow monster? This week we strap on our crampons and go in search of Yeti. Plus, we learn the origin of C-BOT’S pet, Kyle’s, CPU (it involves a Tamagotchi). Pecker is somehow back in the lower 4th (it probably also involves a Tamagotchi). And we welcome in first timer, Erik Severinghaus, who claims Hysteria 51 is the sole reason he was able to summit Everest (oxygen deprivation is a helluva drug). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t have a pet Yeti...we left the backyard gate open - Hysteria 51.

High Strangeness: An Interview w/ Author Eric Bickernicks | 149
Things are getting strange in the lower 4th this week as we interview author Eric Bickernicks about his fictional (?) UFO romp, High Strangeness. Are there really spandex clad, cult members looking to “amalgamate” with aliens? Have UFOs landed in Cape Cod? Is there a better name for a law firm than Wakeman and Frasier? We ask the tough questions this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot learns the negative side of building your own robot (we know this well). Kyle makes his triumphant return and reads some reviews of the show (it doesn’t go well). Also, David Flora joins in on the fun (well…) AND Majungus hits us with another awesome song (Intergalactic Invasion).

Storm Area 51: They Can, In Fact, Stop All of Us | 148
What do you get when you combine a joke social media event with the zeitgeisty topic of UFOs? 3+ MILLION people interested in attending an impromptu party/raid of a government installation. We know, a lot to unpack here. Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us is a Facebook event created by a meme posting page on a lark – hoping to get a handful of followers. Instead it’s become an internet phenomenon covered by everyone from NBC to the New York Times to Hysteria 51 (likely the most important of the bunch). Is the joke event actually happening? If so, are there any aliens to see? If anyone tried to enter Area 51 what lethal and non-lethal methods would the military use to turn them around? What’s a Naruto run? We try to bring some clarity to the chaos this week (but likely just confuse the situation further). Plus, Conspiracy Bot builds a robot to help with his light work (yes, his name is Kyle). We learn that Bot Juice is somehow a hit (apparently it’s the “tang that will make you sang” that does it). And David Flora from the Blurry Photos podcast makes his return to the Lower 4th to add to the confusion. All of that and more on the podcast that won’t be raiding Area 51, we played that game enough in the 90s - Hysteria 51. Cheese Muffins!

The Tunguska Event: Asteroid or Aliens? | 147
On an early June morning in 1908 an explosion leveled over 770 square miles of remote Siberian forest. Effects of the event were witnessed as far away as London. The blast was said to be over 1,000 times larger than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Yet, there were no known casualties (minus a whole lot of reindeer), leading some to believe there was an intelligence behind the blast. What kind of force could have unleashed a blast of that magnitude? Was it simply a huge meteor? Could extra terrestrials be responsible? Maybe Nikola Tesla finally got his “death ray” right? We grab a bottle of vodka and investigate the curious case of the Tunguska Event this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot has a new product for sale (yes this one will likely kill you too), Brent attempts to play meteorologist (he’ll stick to podcasting), and Joe Peck is back on the show against our better judgement (he’s not welcome back). All of that and more on the podcast that only wishes on a star when it will level miles of forest and kill reindeer – Hysteria 51.

Unit 731: The WW2 Japanese Biological Testing Nightmare | 146
Most people are familiar with the horrors the Nazis visited upon their victims in WW2, but what most aren’t familiar with are some equally terrifying and grotesque experiments and testing on the part of the Japanese. At the heart of this was General Shirō Ishii and his Unit 731. Unit 731 was a covert biological and chemical warfare research unit of the Imperial Japanese Army that undertook lethal human experimentation. And we don’t just mean take 2 of these and call us in the morning…if you’re alive. We’re talking about the kind of stuff that would make the devil blush. Freezing human limbs…while still attached to their very live owners. Or even worse, vivisections...you know where they dissect someone…who is still alive! Yeah, it’s a real chuckle fest this week as we explore Unit 731. Plus, we learn there’s an ideology to Conspiracy Bot’s insanity (he says he’s a giver), John gives us a dissertation on war treaties (sometimes Gofo’s just gonna Gofo), and Joe Peck makes a return visit to the lower 4th (as if he ever really left). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never committed a war crime, though some might argue guilt by robot association – Hysteria 51 Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51 Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

Spontaneous Human Combustion: Do People Just Burst Into Flames? | 145
You know the old saying, “nothing can ruin your day like spontaneously catching on fire”? We don’t either, but if it isn’t a quote it should be because…ouch. Reports of Spontaneous Human Combustion span history and continents. While situations and backstories change, many constants can be found between the cases. Is it possible that a rare set of circumstances could present itself where a human being would spontaneously catch afire? Could it be something more sinister like purposeful fires set via Pyrokinesis or something equally as morbid…big tobacco? We throw on our firefighter gear and go searching this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot is triggered and it’s because of your morning bagel (I guess everyone has their thing), the fellas talk Fire Marshall Bill (because how could they not), and Ryan Cassell makes his triumphant return to the Lower 4th (and is promptly schooled in the art of Jim Carrey – you’ll see).

Alien Con L.A. Interviews: David Childress, Mike Bara, and Dr. Chris Cogswell | 144
Ancient alien historians theorize this will be an extra out-there episode of Hysteria 51. This week we’re “live” (not really a thing in podcasts I guess) from AlienCon 2019 in Los Angeles. See, they call Los Angeles the "City Of Angels"; but I didn't find it to be that, exactly. But I'll allow it as there are some nice folks there. Course I ain't never been to London, and I ain't never seen France. And I ain't never seen no queen in her undies, so the feller says. But I'll tell you what - after seeing Los Angeles…wait I’m getting of track here – back to this week’s show! Did someone say Pumapunku? Maybe not, but David Childress joins us. While we’re at it we catch up with Mike Bara and wind up talking Tesla. Then we top this delicious treat with a dollop of Dr Chris Cogswell as he explains how science can help us understand aliens (silly, we know). All of that and more on the podcast that, well, it's the podcast for its time and place. It fits right in there. And that's Hysteria 51.

The Hum: The Unexplained Sound Heard 'Round the World | 143
Ever go a concert and hear an annoying ring or hum in your ears afterward? Now imagine you didn’t go to the concert, but still hear it. Where’s it coming from? Why is it worse inside my house? HOW CAN I STOP IT?!? This is the situation for 1000s of citizens across the globe that experience The Hum. It’s only in specific cities (Taos, Windsor, etc) and only certain citizens can hear it (generally 2-4%) of the population. What’s causing it? Why are some people more susceptible to than others? How do you actually pronounce Tinnitus? We put on our headphones and ask the tough questions this week about THE HUM. Plus, the fellas HUM the Crash Test Dummies for your listening pleasure (c’mon, you saw that coming), Assistant Ray becomes Producer Ray for the day (we’re unsure of the results), and we give you an update from AlienCon (spoiler – no Giorgio). All of that and more on the podcast that can’t hear the Hum but our wives would argue our hearing is selective to begin with – Hysteria 51.

The S.S. Ourang Medan: A DEADLY Ghost Ship | 142
What do you do when you find a ship adrift at sea? The obvious answer is to make sure it doesn’t explode. Unfortunately the folks that came upon the S. S. Ourang Medan didn’t heed our clarion call from the future. Instead they hopped aboard and investigated this ghost ship. They came aboard to find the entirely to the crew dead. When the investigating captain finally decided to tie ‘er up and toe ‘er back…that’s then the suspect ghost ship decided to explode and sink. What was actually aboard? What does cyanide taste like? This week we throw on our life preservers and find out. Plus, Brent makes a ”Jon Boat” joke (we’re sorry), we decide red shirts likely do need to be the losers of the away team (call us Riker), and the fellas get some help from an unlikely place…Kevin Crispin! And the host of the extremely popular podcast Hillbilly Horror Stories – Mr Jerry Paulley also joins the show. All of that and more on the podcast that’s never found a ghost ship drifting at sea, but we loved the movie Ghost Ship - Hysteria 51.

Indigo Children: Superpowered or Superfake? | 141
Is your child a little unusual? Do they possess supernatural traits? How about super abilities? If you answered yes to some or all of these – chances are you have an indigo child! Indigo children, identified by their trademark indigo aura and at least one parent who identifies as “gypsy” (we might have made that part up), are potentially the next stage of human evolution. OR, the label could just be an attempt to ignore a much larger elephant in the room (I wonder what color aura elephants have). Either way we put on our indigo colored glasses and get to the bottom of it this week. Plus, we learn of Brent’s extreme disdain for the Indigo Girls, the fellas discuss what super power we would have given our 10 year-old selves, and we might just make it through an episode without singing (tune in to find out).

The Various Types of Hauntings: 99 Problems and a Slimer isn’t One | 140
“Carol Anne! Stop spitting green pea soup, the call is coming from inside the house!” Wait, we might be conflating a few things there, but you get the idea…there are (allegedly) a LOT of potential hauntings out there. How is one to keep them all straight?!? Well, thanks to your friendly, neighborhood Hysteria 51 – you don’t have to…we’ll do the hard work for you (stop us when we start to sound like the Sham Wow guy). This week we explore the various types of ghouls, ghosts, spirits, and demons that are inhabiting your granny’s pantry (we won’t ask). Plus, we force Conspiracy Bot into a hard reboot (in the name of science), we learn C-Bot only catches fat cats (and no that isn’t a metaphor), and Goforth goes off about the movie Noah (we don’t know either). All of that and more on the podcast that hasn’t seen every type of spirit out there, but we’ve tried most of them – Hysteria 51.

Stanton T. Friedman: A Tribute to a UFOlogy Pioneer | 139
Stanton Friedman was a nuclear physicist and professional UFOlogist. But he was more than that...he was involved in some of the largest stories and controversies in UFOlogy. We wouldn’t have the story of Roswell or the Majestic 12 without him. And while he certainly was controversial, no one can argue the indelible impact he had on UFOlogy and the world. This week we look at the life and impact of Stanton T Friedman. Plus, Conspiracy Bot finds a streak of kindness (it won’t last), the fellas go dark quick (no surprise there), we learn of GorGok the Protector of All Thing Magic (he lives in the mountains), and we’re all treated to a rousing rendition of Banditos (and no- Roger Clyne nor the Refreshments are on the show). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t do many tribute shows, but when we do, it’s for guys like Stanton – Hysteria 51.

The UFO People: A Curious Culture w/ MJ Banias | 138
We are haunted by UFOs. They drift in and out of our culture in movies and on television, on billboards and in books. They are everywhere. However, for one small community, they are much more than the fodder of science fiction storytelling - they alter the entire fabric of reality. Enter The UFO People. Part narrative journey and part cultural study, The UFO People is a challenge to the UFO subculture and the broader public to recognize that UFOs, and the people who study them, challenge societal norms, institutions, and the many ideologies we assume to be true. This week we interview the author of The UFO People – MJ Banias. Plus, Conspiracy Bot finds a mentor in Napoleon, takes a trip to Fermilab, and makes John disappear (busy week). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never written a book about UFOs, but we’ve certainly had the book thrown at us – Hysteria 51.

Yellowstone Supervolcano: America’s Sleeping Killer | 137
Ah, the majesty of Yellowstone National Park. Hot springs, gushing geysers, majestic wildlife, a supervolcano that could kill us all. That’s right, under all of the beauty and wonder is Yellowstone’s supervolcano that by some estimates is overdue to blow. What would happen if the volcano did pop? Mass extinctions? Check. Potentially the end of the U.S. as we know it? Check. A global famine accompanied by a decade long winter? Check. Could this actually be a planet killer – ending life as we know it on the planet? Maybe not the entire planet, but it could certainly change the course of humanity. So, will it go off soon? Is there anything we can do about it? And strangely enough, would there be a way to turn this whole thing into an advantage? We grab our helmets and go investigating this existential risk this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot roots for the volcano (no surprise there), John questions the scientific viability of a Chinese sci-fi movie (we don’t know why either), and the fellas explore what we could do with a mini black hole right here in the lower 4th (spoiler – they’d sell tickets). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never faced an extinction level event, but if we did we’d want Billy Bob Thornton to deliver the news – Hysteria 51.

Alien Experiencers: An Interview with Experience Archivist NK Kranda | 136
Does every abduction involve a probing? Do all the folks that have close encounters build mashed potato mountains first? Are these things really so huge, they’re bigger than a Walmart? We ask the tough questions this week as we interview Experiencer expert and MUFON Archivist NK Kranda. Plus, Brent decides he wants a pet Yeti (no surprise there). We draw comparisons between Conspiracy Bot and Florida Man (there are many). And everyone is relieved to realize he’ll never go down there (too many bodies of water).

The Fermi Paradox: Where are the Aliens? w/ Josh Clark from Stuff You Should Know | 135
According to the Drake Equation there are approximately 40 bajillion habitable planets in our galaxy. Ok, the number is a little lower (and a little more specific than that), but the point remains the same...with all of these planets capable of sustaining life, why isn’t the galaxy just teeming with extra-terrestrials? Or, put more succinctly- where the heck are all the aliens? Enrico Fermi posed this question to some scientist friends at a lunch in 1950 and it’s been known as the “Fermi Paradox” ever since. We dive in this week but we don’t go exploring alone as we enlist of the help of Stuff You Should Know co-host, Josh Clark. Plus, Conspiracy Bot actually helps the show by recruiting Josh (surprising), by recruiting we actually mean kidnapping (less surprising), and yes he used poison (there it is). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never proven the existence of aliens, but how else would you explain Giorgio Tsoukalos' hair – Hysteria 51.

The Man From Taured: The Traveler Whose Country Didn’t Exist | 134
Ever been to Taured this time of year? It’s fabulous!! No, you haven’t? In fact you haven’t heard of it? Well, neither had the rest of the world when in July of 1954 a man in a suit shows up at a Japanese airport claiming to not only hail from the (imminently non- existent country), but produces a legit passport. Did this man unknowingly slip into a parallel dimension? Did he time travel? Or is he and/or the story absolutely full of it? This week we report, you decide on The Man From Taured. Plus, the fellas learn why we should never let Conspiracy Bot travel to parallel dimensions (could be bad), speaking of - the guys talk about the potential return of Sliders (could be good), and Conspiracy Bot again learns he is powered by Dilithium Crystals (thankfully not true). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never slid into another dimension, but we did love us some Jonathan Reese Davies on Sliders – Hysteria 51.

The Mary Celeste | 133
Imagine this: You and your crew are traversing the Atlantic aboard your merchant ship. You spot something up ahead and grab the spyglass. Is that another ship? You call to the ship announcing your presence…no response. Is there no one aboard? Where’s the crew? You board the ship and things are silent. It’s too quiet. Something isn’t sitting right about this situation. There’s a sewing machine with a baby’s dress being sewn…the hem is still mid-stitch. The log book’s last entry? 10 days ago. Where did the crew go? What would cause them to abandon ship so abruptly without any signs of duress? Did they leave the ship willingly? What happened to the Mary Celeste – we investigate this week. Plus, David Flora of Blurry Photos Podcast makes his triumphant return once again. Conspiracy Bot pivots his game plan for Bot Booze. Brent circles back around on how C-Bot is paying for it. And we all learn that poisonous, bad-tasting, and foul-smelling are table stakes for any product the robot creates. All of that and more on the podcast that’s never discovered a ghost ship, but took a Carnival Cruise once that was almost as scary – Hysteria 51.

The Green Children of Woolpit: Multidimensional Travelers or Broccoli Addicts? | 132
Picture this - you’re working in a field and quite suddenly 2 children appear out of seemingly nowhere. These kids not only don’t speak a language you’ve ever heard, but they’re skin is...GREEN. This might sound like the beginning of an episode of Black Mirror, but it isn’t. It’s an alleged real-life incident from 12th century England. Who were these kids? Where did they come from? Is this the first written proof of multidimensional travel or the first written proof of a broccoli overdose? This week we jump back over the pond and look into the curious case of the Green Children from Woolpit. Plus, Conspiracy Bot gets subpoenaed for the first time (really, that's the first time?). Brent could be facing jail time for the first time (again, we're surprised). And Bot Booze could finally be coming to an end (finally!). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never met any green children, but that could be due to the restraining order (thanks C-Bot) - Hysteria 51.

Spring Heeled Jack – England’s Weirdest Paranormal Legend | 131
This week we hop BACK over the pond to merry ol’ England to tackle a most vile and sinister serial…slapper? Well – slapper, groper, fire belcher, carriage crasher, and more. This week we’re looking into the legend of Spring Heeled Jack. This mischievous prankster allegedly had metal claws, could leap over 10 ft. walls, breath blue fire, apparently loved to slap authority figures, and cause carriages to crash. But who was this British bouncer? Is this just a folk tale re-told over the years to explain away hundreds of different events, was there a person of extraordinary ability terrorizing the countryside, or were these just a series of glorified fraternity pranks? David Flora of the Blurry Photos podcast joins the fun to help us uncover the identity of Britain’s strangest urban legend. Plus, Conspiracy Bot tries to get rid of Flora (he’s protective of BRENT’S beer), the fellas all try their hands at a British accent and fail miserably (shocking), and a related ghost in Long Island sounds eerily similar to Keanu Reeves (whoa). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never terrified women by blowing fire into their face, we do it the old fashioned way, by letting them see our work ethic and bank account – Hysteria 51.

The Pascagoula Abduction: A Controversial Close Encounter | 130
There’s nothing like fishing in the evening with a friend. The only sounds disturbing your peaceful respite are the gentle trickles of water, the rhythmic chirping of crickets, and the loud whirring of an alien aircraft that’s come to abduct you. OK, that last one might be unique to this story. The Pascagoula Abduction was a close encounter of the 4th kind in Mississippi in the early 70’s. Out on a fishing trip, 2 men where minding their own business when a UFO flew down and the inhabitants abducted the men. The aliens were said to have elephant-like skin and lobster-claws for hands. And while this sounds a bit far-fetched, even a polygraph was passed. They were even hypnotized to get the truth. The hypnotist’s conclusion? The fishermen “experienced an extraterrestrial phenomena”. This week we’re cooking up some mashed potatoes and diving into this close encounter. Plus, why is Conspiracy Bot hiring the Polish figure skating team (it’s a long story)? We learn Dick Cheney is actually a robot (we can’t prove this, but no one would be surprised). And Rob Kristoffersen, host of the Our Strange Skies joins us in the lower 4th to talk alien elephants. All of that and more on the podcast that’s never seen an alien elephant, all of the elephants we’ve seen were naturalized – Hysteria 51.

Humanity in 100 years (w/ Stuff They Don’t Want You To Know) | 129
Interstellar travel, rewriting human genetics, body hacking, limitless clean energy...is this our future? What will humanity look like in 100 years (assuming the Yellowstone Caldera doesn’t take us all out)? If technology continues to progress anywhere near the pace of the last few decades, not only will we have people on Mars, we’ll be in the middle of terraforming it. Or, will our future have a distinctly dystopian pallor? We take a look ahead this week with Ben Bowlin and Matt Frederick from the OG conspiracy podcast, Stuff They Don’t Want You To Know. Plus, could the future of humanity hinge on this very podcast? (no) Conspiracy Bot has the fix for quantum computers (defrag). And we all have some “tea, Earl Grey, hot”. All of that and more on the podcast that is hopeful for the future of humanity (poorly conceived and built robots on the other hand, we aren’t so sure) – Hysteria 51.

Black Project Aircraft – America’s UFOs | 128
Not EVERY UFO can be an aliens (we know Giorgio, shocking). These unknown aircraft aren’t always “unidentified” to everyone. Some of them come from a little closer to home – the good ol’ U.S. of A. The U.S. Government has confirmed the existence of Black Project Aircraft. These are experimental and developmental planes, drones, and more that are highly classified and not publicly acknowledged by the government or its contractors. These technologies are known to range from invisibility, experimental propulsion systems, advanced weaponry and more (that’s the whole classified / black project part). To help uncover the truth this week we’ve enlisted the help of Black Project Aircraft expert and author of the Wingman book series, Mack Maloney. Plus, Conspiracy Bot decides he’s going to help (for once) produce the show (he doesn’t), he also makes some pretty harsh allegations involving Tom DeLonge (and a ham sandwich), and Brent threatens Conspiracy Bot with a bath (this might all be related).

Jack Parsons: The Occult and the Art of Rocket Fuel Design | 127
Jack Parsons is the subject of this week’s show. Jack was one of the principal founders of both the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and the Aerojet Engineering Corporation. He invented the first rocket engine to use a castable, composite rocket propellant, and pioneered the advancement of both liquid-fuel and solid-fuel rockets. Oh, and he also summoned the devil, was besties with Aleister Crowley, and practiced magick. You know, normal rocket scientist stuff. This week we dive into the life and times of Jack Parsons. Plus, Conspiracy Bot actually succeeds on Shark Tank (really Mr. Wonderful?), in unrelated news he now has a jingle for his Bot Booze (it’s stolen), and Dan Kozuh of TheHardTimes.net makes a return visit to the Lower 4th to talk his new book Lingeria (we’re as surprised as you are). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never summoned a demon to get a science experiment to work, we have a robot for that - Hysteria 51.

Jonestown - The Murder | 126
Cult leader Jim Jones used a dangerous mix of lies, abuse, and manipulation to control the members of his People’s Temple. The hold he had over his cult was so severe he convinced the members to move into the middle of the jungles of Guyana, AKA Jonestown. But, as the events unraveled so too did Jones. Failing health and a drug addiction fueled his craziness and led to a US Congressman flying to Guyana to see things for himself. The ensuing events led to the tragic murder of the Congressman and much of his party, then culminated in in the deaths of over 900 people at Jonestown…over a 3rd of which were kids. Jones convinced his followers to drink Flavor-Aid laced with Cyanide. Some drank of their own volition, some were forced, while many (including children) were injected. How does a diverse church group who set out to build a paradise on Earth, a Utopian society free from racism and hatred, end up unleashing hell on Earth that culminated in one of the greatest crimes in our modern times? We dive in deep this week. Plus, Conspiracy has decided he’s going to be on Shark Tank, in an unrelated note he also decides he need to go to the aquarium, and finally Pecker, Kevin, and Chris Marcum all take a trip back to the lower 4th to finish this crazy topic. All of that and more on the podcast that has never met Jim Jones, but we know a guy who knows Jim Belushi - Hysteria 51.

Jonestown - The Monster | 125
Don’t drink the Kool-Aid. We’ve all heard it, heck most of us have said it. An anachronism from the 80's that has come to simply mean to not completely buy into an idea whether good or bad. But the roots of the phrase are so much more severe…so much more frightening. Whether it be by their own hand or forcibly – these poor souls died in the steaming jungles of Jonestown, Guyana at the order of their leader. A maniacal, drug addicted cult leader named Jim Jones. In this first of two episodes we explore the man responsible. How could one man hold that much power over his followers? What would compel a man to ask almost 1,000 people to lay down their lives? Are monsters born monsters or do they turn into them? We dive into all of those light questions this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot grows his business as people are actually buying his product (we don’t know who), Joe Peck is back on the show for the 2nd week in a row (we don’t know how), and Kevin Crispin makes his triumphant return with special guest Chris Marcum (we don’t know why). All of that and more on the podcast that wasn’t at Jonestown, but one of our favorite albums is Sam’s Town - Hysteria 51.

Alex Jones: Conspiracy’s Con Man | 124
What’s the best way to sell erectile dysfunction pills? Claim 9/11 was an inside job! Well, at least that’s the tact that Alex Jones takes. Jones and his InfoWars network have been consistently putting out looney tunes conspiracy theories for two decades. But they aren’t just talking reptilians and new world order. Jones has taken it to the next level; from accusing Sandy Hook shooting victims of being crisis actors to propagating the famous #pizzagate hoax. Jones has built an empire on lies and the pain of others. This week we bring on the guys from Knowledge Fight to look into this grifter. Is he a true believing nut job, or a confidence man just trying to hawk his various snake oils? Plus, Wesley Willis makes an appearance on the show (bonus points if you know who that is), Conspiracy Bot releases his own line of booze (rubbing alcohol anyone?), and speaking of 90’s technology (looking at you C-Bot) the fellas talk Win-Amp. All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t turn the freakin’ frogs gay, but does have a favorite song about frogs (looking at you Wesley Willis) – Hysteria 51.

The Kardashev Scale | 123
How advanced is our civilization? Hot Pockets? Check. Cat memes? Check. Total control of our planet’s resources, weather, and energy? Well…we’ll get back to you. That’s the basic premise of the Kardashev Scale. It’s a simple test to judge a civilization’s technological advancement. The scale ranges from 0 (we’re a 0.7) to a 6 or 7 (think omnipotent beings). This week we explore where we are, where we’re (hopefully) going, and how we can get there. Plus, Conspiracy Bot gives himself an upgrade to SUPER C (he’s been playing too much NES), the neighborhood cats are back in his cross-hairs (he drank a bottle of Malört), and we talk how Pluto has gotten the shaft (#teamPluto). All of that and more on the podcast that didn’t know you in high school, but if we had we would have beat up any other podcasts that made fun of your Magic the Gathering collection – Hysteria 51.

Nuclear Boy Scout: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Build a Nuclear Reactor | 122
Teenagers nowadays. No respect for their elders. I mean, as teens in our day we were walking uphill (both ways) to school in the snow. We didn’t have cellphones, we had pagers. If we needed a nuclear reactor, we built it in our backyard! Well, not all of us – but this week’s subject certainly tried. David Hahn was just another suburban kid, up until he MacGyver’d up a breeder reactor in his mom’s shed using not much more than a bunch of smoke detectors and old clocks. This week we dive into the how, where, and why of David Hahn – affectionately known as the Nuclear Boy Scout. Plus, we learn why Conspiracy Bot has a thing for Wheel of Fortune (hint: it’s the repartee), we learn how many smoke detectors you can buy without raising an eyebrow (hint: it’s a lot), and for some reason C-Bot actually helped with this week’s show (hint: it involves homemade nuclear power). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never built a nuclear reactor, but that definitely reacts nuclearly (is that a word?) on occasion – Hysteria 51.

Dulce Underground Base: Alien Base or Absolute BS? | 121
Dulce, New Mexico: population 2,743…ABOVE GROUND! That’s right, according to some there is a secret base under Dulce that houses everything from classified US technology to reptilians. According to those same folks Dulce is one of the many underground facilities that Reptilians use to run experiments on humans. Oh, and there was a huge underground battle there between aliens and the US military. The aliens managed to win because they had advanced ray guns. And from there….the story REALLY starts to get strange. This week we grab our tinfoil hats and go down the reptilian hole as we explore the Dulce Underground Base. Plus, Conspiracy Bot stays sober long enough to do some writing (surprisingly true), we learn there is a Starbucks on Venus that employed Conspiracy Bot (not true at all), and Kevin Crispin is back in the lower 4th (fun and true)! All of that and more on the podcast that’s never fought reptilians underground, our battles have always taken place on Outworld (Reptile wins!) – Hysteria 51.

Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers- An Interview With Jeremy Corbell | 120
Bob Lazar is on the Mount Rushmore of names in the UFO world. He (virtually on his own) brought the existence of Area 51 to the forefront by telling his story of working on real UFOs in the 80's. If a podcast, website, or movie is covering UFOs they can’t do a complete job without mentioning Bob. The challenge is he pretty much STOPPED talking to the press and giving interviews for more than 20 years. Then, came along documentarian Jeremy Corbell. He has produced a new documentary on Lazar with his FULL cooperation. This week we interview Jeremy about his experiences, if and why he believes the story, and a whole lot more. Plus, we somehow work John Lear into the discussion (you’ll see), Conspiracy Bot compares himself to Dr. Phil (he’s more like Judge Judy), and :spoiler alert: Mickey Rourke doesn’t join the show (C-Bot was disappointed). All of that and more on the podcast that isn’t on the Mount Rushmore of podcasts, but is on the Mount Rushmore of Mount Rushmores (in our own mind) – Hysteria 51.

Antikythera Mechanism – The World’s First Computer? | 119
Imagine finding shipwreck from thousands of years ago and among the rest of the debris finding a laptop with instructions on how to use it. That’s ALMOST exactly what happened when the Antikythera Mechanism was found. OK, so it wasn’t exactly a laptop, but many refer to it as the world’s first analog computer. And no matter how you classify it, it certainly doesn’t fit the time frame it dates back to. How did the ancient Greeks create a machine so advanced that another example of its intricacies wouldn’t be found in the world for another century and a half? We attempt to get to the bottom of it or at least blame the aliens this week. Plus, the fellas talk about THEIR first computer, we’re able to compare the mechanism to both a magic 8-ball and Grays Sports Almanac, and Conspiracy Bot quotes bad 90’s music. All of that and more on the podcast that’s never built a fully functional computing machine that can output correct data (but we have Conspiracy Bot) - Hysteria 51.

2018 Year-End Review and Orson Welles - Dracula | 118
Man, 2018 flew by fast. And what a crazy year it was for all of us at Hysteria 51. New network, award nominations, iTunes top 200, the list goes on. We could not have done it without all of you, so this week Producer Lisa and Brent take a look back at the year. They talk achievements, (holy crap there was actually more than 1), how much prettier Lisa is than John (duh), our war with LeVar Burton (only in our heads), and what 2019 has in store for the show. Oh, but it doesn't end there. Then you are treated to our tradition of our favorite Audio Drama of the Year. This time around it is a mouthful with The Mercury Theater on the Air, with Orson Welles presents – “Dracula”. So break out the garlic and sharpen some sticks for this year-end review on the podcast that isn't hosted by Vampires because we don't need a reason to suck even more, Hysteria 51. Dracula Adapted from the novel by Bram Stoker Cast: Orson Welles (Dr. John Seward, Count Dracula) Elizabeth Fuller (Lucy Westenra) George Coulouris (Jonathan Harker) Agnes Moorehead (Mina Harker) Martin Gabel (Dr. Van Helsing) Ray Collins (Russian Captain) Karl Swenson (Mate) Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51 Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

Nazca Lines – Peruvian Artwork or Alien Runways? | 117
The Nazca Lines are a group of ancient geoglyphs etched into desert sands of southern Peru. Made up of of over 10,000 lines, the figures are most visible from the air or nearby hilltops. The designs range from geometric patterns to animals and more. Why would an ancient culture spend the time and effort to etch out such elaborate and large designs? Is it simply an ancient artform? Were they an homage to the god(s) of the time? Or, were they an invitation…even a guide to a group viewing from the stars? We grab our brooms and dust off the Nazca Lines this week. Plus, the fellas talk about their favorite childhood art toys (Mainway’s Bag o’ Glass makes an appearance). Conspiracy Bot learns about yellow snow. And the merits of giving soldering irons to children is debated (it’s a good idea). All of that and more on the podcast that that’s never carved ornate messages into the earth for aliens, but we have written plenty of messages in snow…yellow snow - Hysteria 51.

UFOs at Maury Island: MiB, JFK, and Dog Murder | 116
In the wild world of UFOs it doesn’t take much for a story to take on a life of its own. A flash in the sky or a shadow turns into a close encounter. But sometimes they have a little more meat to them… dog meat. Along with one of the first known run-ins with the infamous Men In Black, the death of 2 investigators, and even a potential link to the JFK assassination. But why would a tale wilder than Roswell be nothing more than a footnote on a few UFO websites? Is it simply an elaborate hoax? Or are there larger forces at play that have been able to keep the truth from getting anywhere close to the surface? We head to Washington state and try to get to the middle of this UFO donut this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot claims to have fans, the fellas learn what its like to wake up with no memories in Montana while waiting tables (again), and a blast from the past as Mark Frushour is back in the lower 4th after almost 100 episodes! All of that and more on the podcast that’s never had a dog killed by a UFO, but that would hunt E.T. to Zeta Reticuli and back if we did - Hysteria 51.

Magic: Hocus Pocus or Bona Fide Sorcery? | 115
The dictionary defines magic as the power to influence the course of events by using mysterious or supernatural forces. Not David Blaine pretending to float, not the recovering alcoholic at your kid’s birthday party pulling a rabbit out of a hat – real honest-to-goodness MAGIC... or MAGIK... or MAGICK... however you want to spell it. And while we see examples of it all the time in fictional pop culture (looking at you Harry Potter), the question persists: is MAGIC real? This week we study the history, look at some examples, and pull the answer out of…somewhere. Plus, Conspiracy Bot threatens Brent’s new dog, the fellas discuss their favorite fictional magic users, and C-Bot learns what “hair of the dog” means. All of that and more on the podcast that’s never done real magic, but tries to put together a little podcast magic each week (hey oh!) - Hysteria 51.

Tarot and Clairvoyance: Magic or Mischief? | 114
Ever had your palm read? Maybe a tarot reading? Wonder if it was anything more than paying $20 bucks for a lady with a headdress to look into a hunk of glass and tell you what you want to hear? Us too. That’s why we decided to call in some experts. This week not only do we look at the history and research surrounding clairvoyance and tarot, but we bring in a clairvoyant and a tarot reader! Will John have success in his career? How will the new dog turn out for Brent? Can you even read an angry robot? We ask the tough questions this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot can’t figure out why he can’t book Miss Cleo as a guest for the show (hint: she’s dead). In completely unrelated news he tries his hand (pincers) at being a 900-number clairvoyant (hint: he fails and we have the tape). And the fellas find out some intriguing information about the future of the show (we’re hoping it involves the lottery). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t have psychic powers we’re aware of, but if we did, we’d probably just use them with our bookie – Hysteria 51.

The Business Plot: Corporate America’s Bid to Overthrow the Gov’t | 113
Everyone jokes about Facebook and Google taking over the country. But what if the most powerful corporations in America REALLY did organize a coup and turn the USA into a fascist dictatorship? Believe it or not, it almost happened in the 1930’s! That’s this week’s topic, The Business Plot. It might have a boring name, but the story itself is anything but. Huge American corporations attempting to organize hundreds of thousands former military to march on Washington and kick FDR out of office. And they would have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for those darn kids. Well, actually 1 kid. And actually, it was an adult war-hero named Smedley Butler. This bad mama jama won the Medal of Honor…twice (and tried to give it back both times because what he did was “no big deal”). This week we grab a pegboard and some string to try and put together the pieces of the Business Plot. Plus, the fellas discuss the merits of government cheese, Conspiracy Bot starts referring to himself as “daddy”, and we learn the robot has a penchant for Wheat Thins (who knew). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never put together a plot to overthrow the government, but we know a certain robot that’s thinking about it - Hysteria 51. Shout out to Greg Daniels, writer and Director of the office for his hilarious Cult joke he wrote for Creed Bratton that Brent shamelessly changed and threw into our show.

The Bermuda Triangle: The Deadly Deep or Drummed Up Deception? | 112
When you were younger, didn’t you think the Bermuda Triangle was going to have a much greater impact on your life than it has? We sure did. The triangular patch of the Northern Atlantic near the Caribbean has been the subject of countless books, movies, and TV specials. But what’s so scary about the Bermuda Triangle? Is it literally swallowing craft almost as quickly as we can send them through, or is this just an urban legend that grew larger than most? We hop in our life boats and get to the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot throws kids’ snow cones on the ground. He also knocks over old people. And somehow all of this is tied to a leptospirosis scare (that he invented). Oh, and Kevin is back in the lower 4th. All of that and more on the podcast that’s never been lost at sea, but we know a certain robot we wouldn’t mind it happening to – Hysteria 51. Shout out to Greg Daniels, writer and Director of the office for his hilarious Cult joke he wrote for Creed Bratton that Brent shamelessly changed and threw into our show.

Starlite: The Lost Invention That Could Have Changed The World | 111
Imagine a material that will not burn. Not with a lighter, not with a laser, not with a nuclear device. This material could be heated to temperatures hotter than the surface of the sun, and be no worse for the wear. No, we aren’t talking about the fridge from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. We’re talking about Starlite – a material claimed to be invented…by a hairdresser from Suffolk, England. A material tested by NASA. A material coveted by Boeing. A material whose recipe died with its creator. How did this eccentric hobbyist inventor create a potentially WORLD CHANGING polymer and why wouldn’t he share it? Did it actually even exist or is this some sort of elaborate hoax? Or, was it not only real, but so effective that a less-than-scrupulous corporation or government agency stole it for their needs? This week we look to the heavens and reach for the Starlite. Plus, the boys talk Fred MacMurray (he was hot), we all thank our lucky stars that Conspiracy Bot IS combustible (he can get hot), and Kevin Crispin makes his long-awaited return to the lower 4th (he gets hot flashes). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never created an indestructible material, but we’re pretty sure Milk Duds are close – Hysteria 51.

Alien Implants | 110
We all have that friend or family member with the errant BB in their leg or piece of gravel in their arm that just never came out. But what if some of these alien bodies in our body are TRULY ALIEN?!? That’s right, this week we’re talking Alien Implants. Could our extra-terrestrial friends be implanting humans with advanced machinery that might look innocuous, but serves a much higher purpose? And if so, what is that purpose? Biotelemetry? Remote Viewing? MIND CONTROL? This week we grab our bug trackers and go on the hunt. Plus, Conspiracy Bot has a new implant of his own, Brent tells us more about when he was missing time, and C-Bot refers to human ears as “idiot wings” (we don’t know either). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t know about alien implants, but does know a few folks that could turn a lump of coal into a diamond (if you know what we mean) – Hysteria 51.

Werewolves: A Hysteria Halloween part 3 | 109
At Hysteria 51 we love Halloween. The crisp fall air, creepily carved pumpkins, bonfires, s’mores, wolfmen eviscerating the innocent. You know...normal stuff. This week we dive into lycanthropy. Do werewolves really exist? If not, where do the legends come from? If so, how do we kill the curs-ed? Plus, which Ninja Turtle is the best?(Hint: It’s Michelangelo) If you dress up as a He-Man character and no one notices - did it really happen? (Hint: Yes) And we uncover why Conspiracy Bot loves zombies (it isn’t surprising). All of that and more on the podcast that loves our werewolves without teen-heartthrobs...but with a little David Pumpkins - Hysteria 51.

The Warrens: Heroes or Hucksters? | 108
Ed and Lorraine Warren are arguably the most famous paranormal investigators of the last century. The married couple investigated countless hauntings, possessions, and demon infestations. Many of which have become Hollywood fodder inspiring movies like The Conjuring and Annabelle. But away from the glitz and glamour, were the Warrens for real? Are these divisive investigators true spiritual detectives, fighting the good fight for those of us too blind to the truth to see? Or did they make a career out of the gullibility and trust of countless tortured souls. We dive headfirst into the protoplasm and investigate the Warrens this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot learns the difference between right and wrong, in related news he exclusively chooses wrong, and we learn the price of his soul (it’s beer). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never seen a demon, but that doesn’t mean we wouldn’t want to keep Constantine around just in case – Hysteria 51.

The Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident: Britain's Roswell | 107
Jolly ol’ England: the home of Monty Python, Big Ben, and the one of the most infamous UFO incidents in recorded history. Wait, what was that last part again? The Rendlesham Forest Incident, as it’s come to be known, was a series of close encounters in Suffolk, England over the course of 3 nights just after Christmas in 1980. From darting lights in the sky, to missing time, and an even alleged encounter with an alien craft – the Rendlesham Forest Incident has been permeated the UFO world for over 35 years. But what really happened next to the American airbase? Did that many American airmen witness a true encounter with an extra-terrestrial craft? Could it be a case of mass hysteria (see what I did there)? Was something larger at play and this is merely the cover-up? We pull up our knickers and go ufology-ing (we might have made that word up)…Plus, the fellas discuss the best Monty Python movies (of course), Conspiracy Bot picks his based on its inappropriateness (of course), and we find a way to work in The Lumberjack Song (of course). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never been to England, but we’re pretty sure it’s a silly place - Hysteria 51.

Unidentified Submerged Objects: The UFOs of the Sea | 106
We all know what a UFO is, but what’s a USO? Well it’s like a UFO but in the water. That’s right we’re talking Unidentified SUBMERGED Objects. And, while we know most of them are just the Cthulhu or your run-of-the-mill Krakken, some aren’t. Could these sightings from all over the globe be proof that in our search for Aliens we’ve been looking to the stars, but should have had our eyes on the seas? This week we grab our sextant and investigate what’s REALLY UNDER THE SEA. Plus, Conspiracy Bot is in an even worse mood than normal (we didn’t think that was possible either). Betty White makes an R-rated appearance on the show (Lake Placid is a great movie). And Conspiracy Bot is outsmarted by a kitten (we knew that was possible). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never seen a USO, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to go looking now - Hysteria 51.

Georgia Guide Stones: Modern Day Mystery | 105
We don’t often think of mysterious relics as something from our current era. Unexplained monolithic structures with debated meaning and even less certain purpose don’t just pop-up in small town America. But they did. There is a set of modern day relics right in front of our noses. Not hidden away is a long abandoned cave, no. Out there for everyone to see in a cow pasture in northeast Georgia. The Georgia Guidestones are modern day relic – offering advice, and some would say hope, to future generations. Other read them in a much darker and foreboding light. Not advice on how to make humanity better, but doctrine with only the most perverse intentions. Who really built the Guidestones? What is their true purpose? And how are aliens involved. We offer GUIDANCE this week. Plus, we’re all shocked to learn Conspiracy Bot is a big fan of Thanos (no one was shocked), C-Bot then explains why he ISN’T an alcoholic (he is), and Pecker somehow ties Infinity War to the Simpsons (not well). All of that and more on the podcast that already knows who built the Georgia Guidestones and his name is Thanos - Hysteria 51.

Robert Smalls: The Civil War's Most Incredible Untold Story | 104
Imagine this for a potential movie: Guy is born into slavery. Escapes his bonds by stealing the ship he’s a slave on and delivering it to the Union (it’s the Civil War). He goes onto captain the very boat he was a slave on, buy the house he was slave in, and eventually be elected to Congress. And that isn’t even half the story. While it isn’t a movie, it is the story of Robert Smalls and it’s so incredible we cover it this week. Plus, Joe Peck somehow figures out how to make an appearance without actually being on the show, C-Bot gets a kill-switch, and Lincoln joins the show (the President...not John’s son). All of that and more on the podcast never captained a ship, but we imagine it would be less Robert Smalls and more Gilbert and Sullivan - Hysteria 51.

Göbekli Tepe: Proof of an Advanced, Ancient Civilization? | 103
Göbekli Tepe is an archaeological site full of mysterious monoliths and intricate carvings in Southeast Turkey that shouldn’t exist. Prehistoric hunter-gatherers COULDN’T build these massive structures, cut and transport these enormous stones, and carve these intricate reliefs with their primitive skill set and tools. Yet they did… Who had the know how to build this awesome set of structures? Did we receive help? This week we talk Turkey and try to understand the mysteries of Göbekli Tepe. Plus, Conspiracy Bot claims to be omnipotent (he’s not), Brent threatens to test that theory (he might), and we invent a new podcast all about dating organic matter using radio isotopes (it doesn’t go very far).

Artificial Intelligence: How Frightened Should We Be? | 102
Computers are getting smarter by the day. Soon enough they’ll become self aware and kill us all (for one reason or another). That’s the narrative we’ve all learned from fiction and pop culture over the years, but is it true? Will Artificial Intelligence evolve to a point our puny human minds can’t comprehend? AND if so, will their first act as sentient beings be to wipe us off the face of the planet? This week we open the pod bay doors and dive deep into A.I. Plus, Conspiracy Bot and Alexa have an existential conversation about self awareness (it doesn’t go far). The fellas talk their favorite Kevin Smith flicks (Tusk is not the right answer). And C-Bot is reminded he just might not be the most advanced cybernetic organism out there (which comes as a shock to no one but the toaster). All of that and more on the podcast that knows artificial intelligence is already here (it just isn’t Conspiracy Bot) – Hysteria 51. Huge thanks to Sam Kulper of Breakers Podcast for joining us this week.

Skinwalker Ranch: The Science of the Paranormal | 101
By now we all know the story of Skinwalker Ranch (especially if you listened to last week's episode). It's a tale as old as time: Boy meets girl. Boy and girl buy a cattle ranch. Boy and girl's dogs are turned to goo, Bigfoot visits, UFOs make a regular appearance, and ghost sightings galore. You know, that old chestnut. Well, this week we dive into the science behind it. Why would a billionaire who builds rockets buy the ranch? Who is NIDS and why were they the group to investigate the it? What has ACTUALLY been scientifically proven at this strange site? We grab our P.K.E. meters and surveillance gear as we aim to find out. Plus, the nefarious reason Conspiracy Bot bought a Pet Cemetary ("ground's sour"). Why Ja Rule is THE choice to have with you when things get weird. And Conspiracy Bot thinks Rosie from the Jetsons is a tramp (don't ask). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never been to Skinwalker Ranch, but if we had, we're pretty sure we wouldn’t have stayed the night - Hysteria 51.

The only topic worthy of our 100th episode - SKINWALKER RANCH. What would cause a normal family to abandon their dream of owning a cattle ranch? How can so much weird stuff happen in one place? Why would a billionaire buy the ranch? We saddle up and go in search of the truth this week. Plus, we take a fond look back at our first episode, hear what Conspiracy Bot used to sound like, and re-address the altimeter situation.

Artificial Intelligence: MacGyver Knows What To Do! | 99
In this special episode of H51 we go FULL ON INTERVIEW! We have an upcoming episode on AI and wanted to interview someone. Who better than a writer/producer with over 30 years in the industry who just did a series on AI? Oh, and did we mention he created a little show called MACGYVER?!?! That’s right, this week we talk to Lee Zlotoff – the creator of Macgyver. Lee tells us about his new series on AI, Our Own Devices. He gives us his thoughts on where AI is headed. Then we spend an inordinate amount of time asking him about Macgyver because we’re geeks like that. So, instead of including the interview in the more comprehensive AI episode, we decided to release this in its entirety. Now grab a paperclip, some fishing wire, and an avocado and join us for a fun precursor to our AI episode on the podcast that doesn’t ALWAYS do good interviews, but when we do we have no idea what to do with them - Hysteria 51.

Phantom Time Theory: Is It Really the Middle Ages? | 98
There are classic debates in the world of the weird. Does Bigfoot exist? Have aliens visited the earth? Did 300 years of our collective history never happen? What, whaa? That's what believers of the Phantom Time Theory think. The theory goes that a couple of emperors and a pope fabricated 300 years of the early Middle Ages. But, if true, why would they do such a thing? Could they have really invented Charlemagne? Does this mean we don't have air-conditioning again? This week we go in search of 3 missing centuries. Plus, how could there be an episode involving Phantom Time without a Ben Affleck reference (there couldn't)? John gets the drop on C-Bot with a drop (it'll make sense). And Brent tries to teach John a thing or two in this blind topic episode. All of that and more on the podcast that isn’t sure about the Phantom Time Theory, but is 100% sure about the greatness of the movie Phantoms – Hysteria 51.

Cicada 3301: The Internet's Most Mysterious Puzzle | 97
“Hello. We are looking for highly intelligent individuals. To find them we have devised a test...” Thus began the phenomenon that is Cicada 3301. At its core, Cicada 3301 is an anonymous group that released to the world a series of internet based puzzles, some of which still have no known solution. From ciphers hidden in books, to actual posters players had to track down across the globe – no one has come forward to claim the enigmatic set of mysteries. But what (or who) is really behind it? Is this just the work of a like-minded cyber punks with too much time on their hands? Is it an anonymous organization of data security and cryptography experts bent on changing the way the internet operates? Or, is it a black ops recruitment project for the CIA? We bust out our encryption keys this week and go hunting. Plus, Conspiracy Bot is a fan of Socrates (think Hemlock). Joe Peck is back and confused by Scooby Doo (think disguises). And our John G makes the connection that the bad guy in Memento is also John G (¯\_(ツ)_/¯). All of that and more on the podcast that thinks all good puzzles should start like the movie Memento – Hysteria 51.

Deep State: Shadow Government or Political Buzzword? | 96
Who's in charge of the United States? POTUS? Ha! That's a temporary employee. Congress? Please...merely figureheads. The real people pulling the strings are a clandestine network entrenched inside the government, bureaucracy, intelligence agencies, and other governmental entities. Or, at least that's the claim. But is it true? Are we all just merely sheep meandering through a world that is mostly a lie? Or, is this concept merely a touchstone for ideologues and pundits to further their conspiratorial agendas? We're joined by Brandon Marsh, co creator of X-Files: Deep State to help sort through the clutter. We take a look at the game as well - talking not only about how this concept has driven the X-Files franchise, but also how it could be at play today. Plus, Conspiracy Bot claims to be long time friends of X-Files creator Chris Carter (he isn't). The fellas talk their favorite episodes and seasons. And watch out Alexa because C-Bot has his sights set on the narrator of the new X-Files Deep State. All of that and more on the podcast that isn’t sure about the existence of a deep state, but wonders if there are shadow governments – are they run by shadow people? – Hysteria 51.

John Titor: Time Traveler or Internet Troll? | 95
If time travel is possible and future humans are coming back to our era...what would they want? To kill a future despot? To make a change to the environment that saves future generations? To take back a computer from 1975 to make their time machine work properly? If you're anything like the subject of this week's show, John Titor, you went with door #3. According to his posts on the internet, John Titor traveled back to the 70s to get a special computer to save time travel. He also made a pit stop along the way in the early 00's to live with his family (and 2 year old self) and presumably post snotty messages on inane internet forums (not stand-up forums like Hysteria Nation). Sound crazy? That's the most normal part of this story. This week we do our best Sam Beckett and try to fix what went wrong with the OG Chrononaut - John Titor. Plus, John and Brent ponder the existential perils of time travel (not really - just looking for ways to make money on it). Conspiracy bot ponders the existential perils of time travel (not really - just looking for other ways to kill John and Brent). And David Flora of Blurry Photos is back in the lower 4th (he just wants to time travel to a time before he met Conspiracy Bot). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t have time travel capabilities, but if we did, we’d do things to improve humanity…and make an insane amount of money – Hysteria 51.

Crystal Skulls: Mystical Marvels or Fake Fossils? | 94
There is a series of skulls across the globe that are made of solid quartz and are virtually identical to one another. Some legends say that the unification of the 13 original skulls will save the human race from the certain doom that is Y2K. Wait...that came and went. Anyway, you get the idea. Get the skulls together and they have some sort of mystical power. Others argue they are nothing more than modern-day fakes. Whatever the case, we can all agree they're a terrible basis for a movie (just going to leave that there and move on). Anyway, this week we dive into the history and mystery of the crystal skulls. What is their true origin? Are they evidence of an advanced ancient civilization? Could they contain the shared knowledge of the universe like a existential hard-drive? We go in search of the truth (or at least a good episode). Plus, Joe Peck is back to try his hand at being a Pueblo Spiritual Adviser. John won't let go of a bad joke. And Conspiracy Bot makes punch for everyone...especially Brent. All of that and more on the podcast that already owns numerous Crystal Skulls…filled with vodka and made by Dan Aykroyd – Hysteria 51.

But we aren’t done there – next we get the EXPERTS’ opinion. We check in with Ben Bowlin, Matt Frederick, and Noel Brown from Stuff They Don’t Want You To Know to get their thoughts. Then we hear from former Green Beret Jeff Adamec who served in more than one classified zone to give us the inside scoop. Sprinkle in Rob Kristoffersen from the Our Strange Skies podcast and Alejandro Rojas from Openminds.tv and you’ve got one heck of a lineup. Oh, and Peck is in there too. Plus, is Conspiracy Bot better at sexual harassment than Demi Moore? (no) Who does the best Tom Delonge impersonation, John or Brent? (neither) And is C-Bot good at giving massages?

They just thought they were out to have some fun with some friends and escape their hometown of Point Pleasant for a while. They were wrong. The following series of events sparked a national phenomenon that is still alive today – the legend of the MOTHMAN. From the descriptions of red eyes and 10 foot wings to the sightings of a flying man outside the famed Sears Tower in Chicago – this cryptid has permeated the cultural zeitgeist for over 50 years. But what is it? Is there truly a winged beast flying around the world as the harbinger of doom? Or are these sightings a combination of mass hysteria, military exercises and really big birds? We grab our binoculars, camera, and Audubon society membership cards as we go in search of the Mothman this week. Plus, are all the Mothman sightings really just Batman? (no) Why is Conspiracy Bot making English Muffins? (we don't know). And how many times will Brent sing the Mothra song? (really, any is too many) All of that and more on the podcast that isn’t sure who the Mothman is, but does wonder what Christian Bale has been up to – Hysteria 51.

Alien Races: A Field Guide | 90
Fact: If you're reading this there's an 89% chance you've been abducted by aliens (note: not a fact). As such, it's important to know your who abducted you (the CIA will ask). Was it a Tall Grey that scooped you up, or were you lucky enough to be absconded by a Blue Avian? Hysteria 51 is here to help. Tune in this week as we give you the David Attenborough treatment of ALIEN RACES! Plus, what's the best fictional alien in pop culture? (hint: it isn't Mark Zuckerberg) Were the Borg progressives? (hint: duh) And, we create our own Alien Races that are sure to be spotted on 15 websites by the end of the show. (hint: they'll have an Angelfire domain) All of that and more on the podcast that loves all of the alien races equally. Except whatever E.T. is – that little dude was up to something – Hysteria 51.

MK ULTRA: The CIA's Mind Control Program | 89
The government has done some less than scrupulous things over the years (allegedly), but they would never test mind control tactics on unknowing AMERICAN citizens - right? WRONG. Enter MK ULTRA - a 20 year covert program to assess the potential use of LSD and other drugs for mind control, information gathering, and psychological torture - all on unsuspecting U.S. citizens. What did they actually accomplish? Do we have Manchurian Candidates running around the world right now? And when Congress dismantled the program in the 70's - did it truly stop or just go into hiding? This week we spike our own drink and avoid assassinating anyone as we go on a long strange trip into MK ULTRA. Plus, Conspiracy Bot completely misses what we meant by "acid" (again) , Alexa has a bad day when hanging out with Conspiracy Bot (again), and Conspiracy Bot conducts experiments on the neighbors pets (AGAIN). All of that and more on the podcast has NEVER been unknowingly drugged, but our fingers are still crossed – Hysteria 51.

Hollow Moon: Alien Spacecraft or Plain Planetoid | 88
Forget the Flat Earth or Hollow Earth. This week we’ve got the real wool that’s been pulled over all of our proverbial eyes...the MOON IS HOLLOW. Not only is it hollow, but our alien overlords put it there...or flew it there...or something, but don’t sweat the small stuff. The weird part it there’s actual more science behind this one than flat earth has ever had! No one knows for sure exactly where the moon actually came from and why every test says it’s so much less dense than it should be. This week we strap on our spacesuits and go on a moonwalk. Plus, Conspiracy Bot works on making Energon Cubes (he fails), we take a trip down memory lane at Spencer’s (to buy red mercury), and yes, somehow both Reptilians and Nazis make their way into this story (we give up). All of that and more on the podcast that isn’t sure what’s going on on the moon, but we’re sure it isn’t normal - Hysteria 51.

The Politics of Contraband: Pablo Escobar and the CIA | 87
Pablo Escobar, known as the King of Cocaine, was a Colombian drug kingpin, a smuggler, killer, cartel leader, and CIA Operative. Wait, what was that last one? CIA Operative - according to many involved - the man once responsible for 80% of all cocaine consumed in the U.S. in a given year, was being protected by and even funded by the CIA. This week we hear from Sam Kulper who had a chance to sit down with Escobar's brother Roberto, while in Columbia. How involved was the US Government? Was the king of all Narcos just a side effect of the Iran/Contra Affair? Could Sam stop staring at Roberto's missing eye? We ask the tough questions this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot gets a jet-pack (not really), Brent decides he missed his calling to be a Narco (not really) , and Columbia has a Hippo problem (really). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never been involved in the drug trade, but if we were we’d want it to be with Ray Liotta - Hysteria 51.

Heaven's Gate: The UFO Cult to End All UFO Cults | 86
What could compel 39 people from all walks of life to abandon their friends and family and commit suicide in a vain and rather crazy attempt to hop a ride on a UFO hiding behind the Hale-Bopp Comet in March of 1997? Well, the answer is stranger than you think...this week we look into the history, mystery, and ultimate tragedy of the Heaven's Gate cult. How did a Texas nurse and a college choral director with Broadway dreams become the leaders of the UFO Cult to end all UFO cults? And how did they convince so many unlikely people to join them? Were they really trying to transcend humanity or were they perfectly deranged bedfellows preying on the trust of their followers. This week we shave our heads, learn the handshakes and try to get to the bottom of the largest mass suicide to ever take place on American soil. Plus, Conspiracy Bot tries to start a cult with Alexa (he's unsuccessful), in unrelated news Conspiracy Bot also tries to order a 5 gallon drum of Sharkleberry Fin Kool-Aid (it's related), and also in unrelated news Conspiracy Bot offers to get drinks for the show (also actually related). All of that and more on the podcast that has never been in a cult, but if we were we’re pretty sure Dr Frank N Furter would be our leader – Hysteria 51.

The Bilderberg Group: Philanthropic Forum or Corrupt Cabal Conference? | 85
Imagine an annual secret meeting of the world’s elite. Politicians, heads of industry, financial leaders, and media executives all trading secrets, colluding on policies, and essentially determining the fate of the free world year after year. Sounds like a James Bond plot, right? Well, it’s also AN ACTUAL CONFERENCE that has taken place on a yearly basis since 1954. But what is the Bilderberg Group really up to? Is it a well meaning group of thought leaders putting their heads together annually to make the world a safer and better place? Or, are they one uniquely shaped island or mountain short of a Saturday morning cartoon-worthy cabal? We take the red pill and see how deep this rabbit hole goes this week. Plus, Count Von Count makes an appearance and goes R rated, precogs have it out for John, and Joe Peck is back…for the last time. All of that and more on the podcast that isn’t a secret cabal led by a European count, but if we were the count would DEFINITELY be a Muppet – Hysteria 51.

Giants: Colossal Cover-Up or Huge Hoax? | 84
It’s a GIANT WEEK on Hysteria 51! Nope, not a clever euphemism, this week we’re talking REAL LIFE GIANTS! We don’t mean regular folks with Gigantism. And we’re not talking about your buddy from college that was, like, really tall. No, we’re talking honest to goodness Giants. Beings that look like you or I but use oak trees for toothpicks and are customarily accompanied by Babe the Blue Ox. OK, that might just be Paul Bunyan, but you get the point. Are these creatures descendants of Angels? Another race of bipedal hominids? ALIENS? And no matter what they were – are they still around? This week we grab our slingshots and aim to find out. Plus, we talk our favorite Andre the Giant moments, discuss our favorite bar in the land of Giants (Alton, Il), and MOWENS makes his long awaited return to the lower 4th. All of that and more on the podcast that’s never met a giant, but got pretty close to one at the Silverdome in Detroit in 87 – Hysteria 51.

Baltic Sea Anomaly: Downed UFO or Glacial Skid Mark? | 83
In 2011 a group of treasure hunters were searching the Baltic Sea when they came upon something they couldn't explain. Their sonar showed an image of some sort of...structure on the sea floor. It was somewhat round in shape and almost ship-like. Subsequent investigations have shed little light as to the structure's true identity, purpose, or origin. One thing is clear - it isn't a UFO (it's clearly a UFO). This week we break out our scuba gear and join the search. Plus, was Jar Jar Binks actually a Sith Lord? (Conspiracy Bot thinks so) What does century old champagne taste like? (money) And why is C-Bot watching bad Harrison Ford thrillers from 2 decades ago? (show prep) All of that and more on the podcast that’s never been to the bottom of the ocean, but we’re pretty sure that’s where the Gungans live - Hysteria 51.

Behold a Pale Horse and Bill Cooper: Every Bad Conspiracy Tied Together | 82
Think of every half-baked conspiracy theory and bad UFO story you've ever heard. Now picture a book that ties them all together. And for bonus points, imagine it's actually a bunch of thinly veiled hate speech! Well, imagine no further my friends, because this week we dive into "Behold a Pale Horse" a book that for some unknown reason is still decently big in conspiracy circles (our guess is everyone buys it, but no one actually reads it). We then take a look at the book's crackpot author Bill Cooper, how he got to the place where he wrote the book, and what led to his being shot by authorities after allegedly proclaiming he would not be taken alive (his one prophecy that did turn out to be accurate). And here's the good news - after listening this week - you won't have to read the book! We do all the heavy lifting! We do these things because we care. Plus, we talk the conspiracy theorist we CAN get behind (Fox Mulder), we ponder the redemption status of Brent's "Book-It" stars (do those things expire?), and special guest Dr. Chris Cogswell of the Mad Scientist Podcast joins the show to help us break it all down. All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t often cover conspiracy theorists that literally believe in EVERYTHING, but when we do we wish it was Fox Mulder EVERY SINGLE TIME – Hysteria 51.

Numbers Stations: Spy Communication, Alien Radio Stations, or Something More Sinister? | 81
Why are there nearly untraceable radio broadcasts all around the world of seemingly random number sequences? What is their true purpose and who is behind them? Are these vestiges of Cold War spy-craft? A simplistic way for modern day terrorists to communicate? Or simply the most bizarre way to communicate with aliens this side of “Out Of This World” (you realize that was Burt Reynolds)? This week we head that the local RadioShack, get a cipher pad, and get to work. Plus, Conspiracy Bot decides he’s going to win the lottery (he won’t). We talk bad morning FM radio (we hate shows with too many drops and worthless characters). And we question how good Cuba actually is at this whole espionage thing (but man are they good at the sandwich thing). All of that and more on the podcast that isn’t in the spy game, but if we were we’d probably be a lot less James Bond and a lot more Austin Powers – Hysteria 51.

Did Hitler Fake His Own Death? | 80
Adolph Hitler and his new wife Eva Braun committed suicide on April 30th, 1945 as they cowered in a bunker under Berlin. The Russians were literally at the doorstep and the Americans just a few miles away. There was no way out...or was there? Theories abound that Hitler didn't die that day , but rather orchestrated an elaborate ruse to get out of Germany and escape to one of many locations; Argentina? Spain? Antarctica? The Hollow Earth? If they did escape, what did they do when they arrived? Attempt to blend in with their neighbors (imagine that name popping up on the new neighbor's mailbox) and go on to live an ordinary life. Or, surreptitiously attempt to accumulate wealth and support to bring about the rise of the 4th Reich. We dig up the Führerbunker and go Nazi hunting this week. Plus, we welcome Joe Peck back to the show with open arms, Conspiracy Bot is a delight to be around, and Brent doesn't spend an inordinate amount of time laughing at his own jokes. All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t always do April Fools shows, but when we do they involve the death of Hitler - Hysteria 51.

The Phoenix Lights: Mass UFO Sighting or Mass Hysteria? | 79
If one guy says he saw a UFO - it's easy to dismiss. But what do you do when over 10,000 people in one state say they did? That's exactly what happened March 13th, 1997 throughout Arizona. They all describe something very similar too: several lights arranged in a triangular pattern slowly moving overhead. Was it a visit from E.T.? A top secret military project? Or swamp gas bouncing off a weather balloon coupled with flares and whatever else they can come up with? The H-51 I-Team investigates this week with the help of David Flora from the Blurry Photos Podcast! That's right - a odd pod crossover event right here in the lower 4th dimension! Plus, Conspiracy Bot orders a vial of The Rock's sweat (it made sense to him). We learn more about Goforth in the 90's than we ever wanted to know (two words: frosted tips). And we discover the real reason the Titanic sank (it might involve a demon). All that and more on the podcast that doesn’t believe EVERY conspiracy from 1997, but we KNOW there was more room on that door ROSE! Hysteria 51.

The Holy Grail: Holy Cup, Holy Bloodline, or Holy Hoax? | 78
This week you've chosen WISELY as we go in search of the cup of a carpenter and try to find the HOLY GRAIL. Or is it Jesus' kids we're looking for? Or the cup with Jesus' blood? I don't know but somehow Joseph of Arimathea is involved...and maybe King Arthur too. Confused yet? So is literally everyone throughout history that went in search of the Holy Grail (except Monty Python of course - they knew what was up). We grab our whips and fedoras this week to get to the bottom of it. Plus, Conspiracy Bot decides he's the second coming of Christ (he's not), Nazis somehow make their way into the episode (hey, if it's a supposedly powerful artifact that might or might not exist and is likely lost to time - Hitler searched for it), and we, of course, talk air speed velocities of unladen swallows (African AND European).

We all looked at the foreign exchange student in high school and wondered what that would be like. Now picture doing that almost 40 light years away! Enter Project Serpo - the alleged top-secret exchange program between the United States government and an alien planet called Serpo in the Zeta Reticuli star system. We sent 12 of our bravest (most naive?) scientists to Serpo...and they didn’t all return. What happened to those that stayed? Why were we so scared of those that returned? And, for the LOVE OF GOD why don’t we know any of their names? Plus, is there a better intergalactic cab driver than Bruce Willis in the 5th Element (no)? Brent and Conspiracy Bot notice some unsettling similarities (it’s a surprise to no one but them). And we finally determine if a Wal-Mart is a good unit of measurement (it is). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never been to another planet but if we needed to send someone it would be Korben Dallas – Hysteria 51.

Voynich Manuscript: Treasure Map or Alien Almanac? | 76
This week on Hysteria 51 we talk for over an HOUR about a 600 year old book! Still with us? While that's technically true - there's SO MUCH MORE TO THE STORY. The Voynich Manuscript is written in a language no one can read! Is it a cipher? A dead language? A secret map? Written by aliens? All of the above? Who knows - BUT there have some been new developments in the last few months. We'll bust out our decoder rings this week and try to crack the code. Plus, Conspiracy Bot finds a new hobby (it involves felony B&E), Joe Peck joins the show for the last time (C-Bot has his pincers crossed), and our friends from the Twisted Ten make their triumphant return (surprised they agreed after the debacle that was the Flat Earth Round Table they were a part of).

Grey Aliens: Alien Abductors or Nonsense | 75
The Greys - they're the archetype alien. When someone even says the world "alien" - they likely picture a "Grey". You're thinking of them right now - little grey dude...big black eyes...over-sized and round head. Heck, look at our logo - that's a Grey. Is the image just so common now that every loon who says they've been abducted comes back with some version of the traditional Grey image? Or, is it so prevalent because this ACTUALLY IS the group of extra-terrestrials that regularly visit our planet? And if so, is there only one type? Are they actually aliens at all or a version of ourselves from the future? We probe the matter DEEP this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot tries to make a kitty quesadilla (he fails), Joe Peck invites himself into the kitchen at Taco Bell (he succeeds), and Brent has multiple restraining orders leveraged against him thanks to C-Bot (success or failure on this one depends on your perspective).

Operation Northwoods: America's False Flag Operation | 74
Those tin foil hat types are at it again. Talking about a "conspiracy" by the US Government to attack our own cities and military targets just to blame another country so we could invade them...that would NEVER HAPPEN. Wait...hold on...I'm reading...yep, actually not only is it not crazy, it's confirmed to have been planned! That's right, in the early 60's the JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF approved a false flag operation called Operation Northwoods that would authorize attacks on our own military targets, instigate hijackings, and bomb American cities. THEN, plant false evidence implicating Fidel Castro and communist Cuba...so we had a reason to invade. But why were we so willing to hurt our own people? Who was really behind the cover-up? Did JFK die for his refusal to move forward with the plan? This week we spend a Havana Night getting to the bottom of it. Plus, Brent is implicated in the death of JFK (by Conspiracy Bot), somehow there's a discussion about Northern Exposure (remember when Paul Provenza was on?), and C-Bot decides he was a fan of Nero (the most unsurprising news of the week).

Nazi Bell: Mega Weapon? UFO? Time Machine? Hoax? | 73
The year is 1945 and things aren’t going well for Hitler and the Third Reich. Time is up for Adolph and everyone knows it. Everyone that is but Hitler himself. As the walls begin to close in he puts even more resources into his Wunderwaffe or Wonder Weapons. The prize of the lot? A bell shaped machine potentially capable of destroying everything and everyone in it’s path...or perhaps even altering time itself. We all know how the story ends – the Allies win the war, Germany is split, and the face of the world changes. But what happened to this secret Nazi project? Did it actually even exist? Was Hitler on the verge of using the Nazi Bell to change history forever and if so, where is it now? And what does it have to do with a UFO sighting in Pennsylvania 20 years later? Join us as we go behind enemy lines and ring out the truth this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot's comedy career goes on hold (thank all that is Holy), the fellas KILL IT with with their German accents (not really), and John continues to confuse the conspiracies on the show with Nazi Zombies from Call of Duty (no surprise there). All of that and more on the podcast that wasn’t around for WW2, but if we were we’d definitely have wanted to serve under Lt Aldo Rain – Hysteria 51.

Winchester Mystery House: Supernatural Secret or Crazy's Castle? | 72
Why would the widower of one of the world's largest gun companies take over 36 years to build a mansion with 160 rooms, staircases that lead to nowhere, trap doors, and secret passageways? Was she simply a crazy old woman with too much time and money on her hands? Or was she doing everything in her power to bewilder and confuse the spirits of those killed by the blood money of the family business? The Winchester rifle DID win the west after all. We bust out our protractors and repeating rifles this week to figure it out. Plus, 2 of our 3 hosts have actually been to the location in question this week so you'd think that would give us a better than usual insight (it doesn't), is Christie Brinkley an actress (duh, have you seen Vacation?), and C-Bot tries to break up Brent's marriage (again).

Bigfoot: America's Favorite Cryptid | 71
Bigfoot - sometimes a topic needs no introduction and this is one of them. But just in case you stumbled across this podcast by dumb luck and know nothing about cryptids OR you've been living in a bomb shelter, cut off from the world, à la Brendan Fraser in Blast From the Past - here's a quick rundown. It's purportedly a large, hairy, ape-like creature that roams the U.S's Pacific Northwest. While there have been 1000s of sightings, 100s of footprints, and dozens of alleged videos taken of the legend - not one bone, skull, or any other other piece of true forensic evidence has ever been produced substantiating the simian beast's existence. So, is this a lost species that is either too good at hiding or too endangered to be found? Or, if this the greatest self perpetuating hoax of all-time? We strap on our hiking boots and do some tree knocking to get to the bottom of it this week. Plus, C-Bot has a disturbing notion of what one should bring with them to the zoo (we don't know why he needed bleach and plumber's putty), we talk the ins and outs of Bigfoot finding himself (even a Sasquatch can spend his formative years backpacking through Europe), and Brent adds a new voice to his repertoire (Frankenstein's Bigfoot anyone?). All of that and more on the podcast that has not only seen Bigfoot, but ate it too…a lot of it...from Pizza Hut - Hysteria 51.

If so, they're called The Majestic 12 and were started back in the 40's by Truman right around the time of Roswell. But, the theory has its skeptics - INCLUDING members of the very UFO community it calls home. Is it real or just an elaborate hoax to sell books? The H 51 I-Team gives you the answers this week (well, our opinions...but close enough). Plus, we completely agree with something MUFON says, C-Bot quotes something from this decade, and a clip from Fox News is played on the show (all of the above is true and no it isn't April Fools!). All of that and more on the podcast that absolutely believes in government conspiracies, but only in the truly evil ones, and luckily we know the difference - Hysteria 51.

Remote Viewing: Human Evolution or Hippie Crap? | 69
Ever wondered what it would be like to be able to see anything, anywhere, at any time? All you have to do is THINK about it and you can see it INSIDE OF YOUR OWN MIND. Sounds cool, right? But no one can do that. That’s the kind of stuff you read in comics and see in movies. In fact, wasn’t that what Patrick Stewart did for like 10 years in those X-Men Movies? It’s called Remote Viewing and not everyone thinks it’s just science fiction. That includes conspiracy theorists, new age philosophers, that one professor you had in college that would smoke weed with his students, and THE U.S. FREAKIN’ GOVERNMENT! Who spent over 2 decades and millions of dollars studying the phenomenon (and of course how they could use it for spying). Is it a real, trainable skill that human beings are only now learning to unlock the potential of, or just another waste of taxpayer time and money by good ol’ Uncle Sam? We open up our third eyes and go investigating this week. Plus, we talk walrus people milking (don’t worry though, no spoilers), C-Bot claims to have access to world’s NEST cams (he doesn’t – we hope), and we find a reason to mention Bill Brasky (never enough of those). All of that and more on the podcast that considers itself a leader in remote viewing…if by remote viewing we mean viewing TV with a remote – Hysteria 51.

Ouija Boards: Satan's Cell Phone or a Gimmick for Goofs? | 68
The Ouija Board. It’s a simple children’s game. Nothing more than cardboard and plastic. An alphabet laid out for kids to spell out messages and pretend the ghost did it. A plaything for the over active imagination and a tool for the manipulative mind. Nothing more. The Ouija Board. Not a simple children’s game but much, much more. While it looks like nothing more than cardboard and plastic – appearances can be a deceiving. It’s a summoning tool that in the best of circumstances awakens spirits that should be left in slumber. And in the worst of circumstances opens doors to places that shouldn’t be opened…and sometime can’t be closed. Demons don’t like to be disturbed… But which is true? Is Hasbro selling a tool of the devil? Or are thousands of idiots spending their time on YouTube videoing themselves with a children’s toy? We examine the history, weigh each side, then dive into the battle and find out for ourselves as we hit the road and test out a Ouija board in the field. Plus, was Bozo the Clown actually a demon who sent kids to hell? Joe Peck joins the show and spends most of it telling the ghosts they’re all cowards. And the fellas actually try to summon a demon on the air (and we don’t mean C-Bot). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never accidentally summoned a demon from the gates of hell, but if we did we know we’d call Bill Murray to help – Hysteria 51.

The Peoria Plague | 67
In 1972 the WUHN radio station out of Peoria Illinois did something most radio stations had stopped doing long ago, they put on a live radio drama – the Peoria Plague. With its roots in Night of the Living Dead and War of the Worlds, it is a piece that has truly stood the test of time to become one of the great dramas in radio history…and yet most people have not heard of it. There are no original copies to be found, just copies of a copy of a copy that survive in the public domain. But that doesn’t stop Producer Lisa this week as she goes hunting Zombies with the help of Conspiracy Bot while Brent and John have the week off. Will C-Bot try and poison her? Does an old timey audio drama still hold up to this day? Will you even miss Brent and John? Find out next on the podcast that loves zombies and producers that give the hosts the week off – Hysteria 51.

Haunted Congress Hotel: Secret Rooms, Ghosts, and Shadow People | 66
On the south edge of Chicago’s Magnificent Mile – Michigan Avenue – sits the historic Congress Hotel. Originally known for its opulence, it hosted national leaders and foreign dignitaries alike. But almost since its doors opened it’s also been known for something more sinister – it’s hauntings. From tales of trapped construction workers, to the elevator shafts that allegedly claimed so many lives, to the shocking number of suicides – the Congress is said to have seen its unfair share of death. Do ghouls now lurk its halls as guests sleep? Time to put our money where our mouth is and see for ourselves. We’ll take this show on the road to see if the Congress is truly haunted or if it’s just another urban legend to help sell ghost hunting kits. We go ghostbustin’ this week on Hysteria 51. Plus, Joe Peck returns to the show and brings us actual holy water from Jerusalem in case things get weird (no luck on the piece of the True Cross), Conspiracy Bot installs blast doors on the studio in an attempt to persuade the fellas to take him on the ghost hunt (would you let him loose in downtown Chicago?), and in an unrelated matter Conspiracy Bot no longer has access to a credit card (it’s related). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t stay at haunted hotels often, but when we do, they’re only the nicest haunted hotels – Hysteria 51.

Krampus – The Christmas Demon: Hysteria 51 Celebrates the Holidays | 65
It’s the most wonderful time of the year and you know what that means. Stockings, snowmen, hot chocolate, nativity scenes, gingerbread men, horned goat half demons that will drag children to hell. That’s right, to go right along with Jolly Ol’ Saint Nick, there’s a more sinister Christmas character lurking beneath the shadows. Krampus – the Christmas Demon! Santa might bring gifts for good little girls and boys – Krampus doesn’t. The hairy beast hits bad kids with sticks and sometimes even throws them in his sack to take back to hell. This week we fire up the Hysteria Sleigh and explore the legend. Plus, are non-Christmas Christmas movies actually Christmas movies (trust us, it’ll make sense)? Conspiracy Bot does his best Clark Griswold. And the fellas exchange Christmas gifts (just be glad they didn’t buy for you). So throw another yule log on the fire, grab a glass of eggnog and cozy up for one hell of a Christmas tradition as we celebrate the holidays the only way we know how on the podcast that doesn’t always do a holiday episode, but when it does…does it right – Hysteria 51.

Satanic Panic: Metal, Black Stuff, & Devil Worship (or just the 80s) | 64
Remember that year or two in the 80’s when you weren’t allowed to do anything? Yeah – this week’s topic was pretty much the problem. The “Satanic Panic” was this all too real period mostly during the 80’s that America’s housewives knew their kid’s souls were being stolen by “beelzebub”, Ozzy, and anyone else they were listening to on that “devil machine”. The problem with this joke is real people suffered. Real lives were lost and the “devil” had nothing to do with any of it. We break out our black t-shirts, dye our hair, and get to the HYSTERIA (too obvious?) behind it all this week. Plus, C-Bot makes it as a comedian (he thinks), Brent goes chaotic neutral (an upgrade?), and the boys welcome a “pentagram” of guests (it really was an accident). All of that an more on the podcast that’s never been the victim of Satanic Ritual Abuse, but if they were they’re sure it would be at the hands…check that…pincers…of Conspiracy Bot – Hysteria 51.

Hollow Earth: Aliens, Giants, and Nazis! Oh My! | 63
The Hollow Earth – the belief by some that instead of a molten core and other science-y things, that instead there’s an entire other world just inside our Earth’s crust. Ancient civilizations? Sure! Dinosaurs. Of course. Another sun? How else would they see? Aliens? Why not! Nazis to make fun of? Well, this wouldn’t be Hysteria 51 if there weren’t. But where does this belief come from? How do so many civilizations throughout history share a similar belief of holes in the polar icecaps that take you to this mythical Shangri-La? And…bear with us here…what if? What if, defying logic, science, and really all rational thought there is something more just beneath our feet? This week we grab our spelunking gear and set out to get to the core of the matter. Plus, Conspiracy Bot hopes to pursue a career in comedy (he can’t), we find a new whack-a-doo society that we’re hoping will give the Flat Earthers a run for their money (they can’t), and Brent endeavors to teach us about the physics of giants (he can’t).

The Watseka Wonder & The Roff House: America's First Spiritual Possession | 62
In the late 1800’s the sleepy town of Watseka, Illinois saw a series of strange and mysterious events involving the tragic death of one young girl and the beguiling illness of another. The mysterious story allegedly ended with America’s first documented case of spiritual possession. From remote viewing, to necromancy, seances and spiritualism to hauntings and angels, this story has it all. But the larger question remains – did a an actual possession take place? Or, was a grieving family just taken advantage of by a spiritualist huckster? This week we get into the spirit of things for the haunting of the the Roff house and the legend of the “Watseka Wonder”. Plus, somehow the finer points of Peter Jackson’s work are discussed (Meet the Feebles and Dead Alive, duh), the fellas get to the bottom of the “water cure” (spoiler alert – this isn’t Oprah telling you to drink more of it), and Harley Covington from the Travel Oddities Podcast joins the show! All of that and more on the podcast that’s never been possessed by the dead, but if we were we’d definitely want it to be Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin – Hysteria 51.

Battle of Los Angeles: WW2 Battle Over L.A. or Aliens? | 61
In the early morning hours of February 25th, 1942 the US military fired over 1400 anti aircraft shells and thousands of .50 caliber rounds into the night sky over Los Angeles…at something. The question is, what were they firing at? In the chaos a single photo was taken. In the photo, amidst the artillery, flak, and chaos, was a mysterious craft with searchlights trained on it…a craft with a distinctly saucer shape. Had World War II hit the mainland United States? Or was this a different type of battle altogether…the intergalactic type? We lace up our boots and join the fight this week. Plus, the boys discuss the benefits of having a Secretary of WAR (there are many), Conspiracy Bot gets a man-cave…err…bot-cave (hey it helps keep the neighbor’s cats safe), and Joe Peck joins the show for the last time (we mean it this time). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t always shoot first and ask questions later, but when we do we make SURE it’s directly at Nazis – Hysteria 51.

Project Montauk - Stranger Things are Afoot in New York | 60
On the eastern tip of Long Island New York sits the sleepy town of Montauk. It’s a summertime getaway for New York’s affluent and also happens to be the home of one of the darkest conspiracy theories in US history – the “Project Montauk ”. Allegedly a special ops black site where children were kidnapped, brainwashed, and experimented on, dissected, and killed. The purposes of which ranged from mind control, remove viewing, and ESP to telekinesis and ripping holes in space time. Were thousands of children turned into the telekinetic super soldiers…or is this just the mad ramblings of some weird old men. We’ll journey into the upside down to find out. Plus, Brent professes his love for Wynona (Judd), the boys have an uncomfortable debate about the pronunciation of Winona’s first name (Ryder), and Joe Peck joins the show for the last time (C-Bot means it this time). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t always pick topics that have TV shows loosely based on them, but when we do it’s always Stranger Things – Hysteria 51.

Pyramids of Giza – Egyptian Tombs or Alien Gas Stations? | 59
Pharaohs and fortune, gods and gold, magic and murder, tombs and treasure. That’s just a little of the mythology evoked when you mention the pyramids. These ancient buildings in the dessert are shrouded in mystery and steeped in legend. And though there are literally 1000s of ancient pyramids all across the world, when you say “the pyramids” to almost anyone they think of that same place: the Giza Pyramid Complex. With mysteries such as the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx, these ancient wonders leave experts with more questions than answers. What is their true purpose? Who actually built them? Could they have been 1000s of years old when the Egyptians found them? And, of course, how were the aliens involved? This week we dust off our fedoras, pack up the camels, and go in search of the truth. Plus, a programming error makes Conspiracy Bot nice (we hope it’s permanent), Giorgio Tsoukalos stops by the show to tell us about ALIENS (not really but we play clips), and why don’t people eat inside Pizza Hut anymore (unless it’s across from the Sphinx)? All of that and more on the podcast that has NO IDEA where the pyramids came from and we’re definitely not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens – Hysteria 51.

Knights of the Golden Circle – Secret Society that Killed Lincoln? | 58
The assassination of Abraham Lincoln. A secret confederate treasure train. The outlaw Jesse James. The falsified death of John Wilkes Booth. A second American Civil War. Secret codes, false identities, and hidden treasures. They might all sound like plot devices of the latest Nic Cage flick, but they’re actually all parts of the story of the Knights of the Golden Circle. An alleged secret society of southern sympathizers who were around well before the Civil War began and went underground when it ended. This secret society with masonic roots is also said to have birthed the Klu Klux Klan and buried a treasure somewhere in the US so valuable that treasure hunters still seek it to this day. Were the Knights of the Golden Circle a well-organized and extraordinarily funded machine with a pro-slavery / racist agenda pushing the US towards a second civil war? Or was it a hapless band of racist idiots that printed a few fliers and came up with what they thought was a cool name and handshake? The H-51 I-Team investigates. Plus, contest winner Ryan Nolan joins the show to tell us why he suggested this topic, C Bot mends fences with Nic Cage while simultaneously accusing him of assassinating Lincoln, and we learn that the best mercenaries are always black market antiquities dealers (don’t ask). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t do ALL of our research in Nic Cage movies – just most of it – Hysteria 51.

Shadow People: Interdimensional Boogeymen or Figments of Sleep Deprived Imaginations? | 57
You’re laying in bed half asleep, half awake and see something out of the corner of your eye. Did that shadow just move? No, that’s silly. Shadows don’t move. But, then again…it really seemed like it moved…there it is again..but closer…and closer. It’s our ANNUAL HALLOWEEN SHOW and it’s time to talk Shadow People! Shadow people are thought by many to be conscious, intelligent, inter-dimensional beings that can move in and out of our dimension at will. And these bad boys aren’t here just to play canasta. They are reported to paralyze their victims, drain them of energy, and do much, much worse. We go hunting in the dark to find out more. Plus, we play some of our favorite clips from Halloween movies (fun!). Conspiracy Bot gets legs (bad idea!). And the show is joined by JP Doyal of Just Paranormal (horrible idea for him!).

Welcome to the Secret Space Program. With roots dating back to WW2 (why are the Nazis always involved in this crap?) – do we have an intergalactic fleet of ships patrolling the universe to keep the Earth safe? Some people, even some with (loose) military ties – say we do. Heck – that laser thing Ronnie Ray-Gun was working on in the 80’s was called Star Wars. Do we need more proof than that? We take the show into WARP speed and see what’s really on the Dark Side of the Moon (great album). Plus, was Thor actually a member of the Wonder Twins (obviously)? The fellas can’t settle the Star Trek vs Star Wars debate (obviously). And we learn Conspiracy Bot’s favorite character in either franchise is the Borg (OBVIOUSLY).

The Mysterious Disappearance of Flight MH 370 | 55
On March 8th 2014 Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur bound for Beijing with 239 souls on board. It never arrived and no one knows for sure where it went. Did it crash into the ocean? Was there a terrorist attack? What could make a 380 ton airplane disappear off of the face of the earth? Where did it go? Who was actually flying? Was there a larger plan at work? Or was it just a series of unfortunate events that ended in the tragic deaths of all on board? To this day the body of the plane has not been located, speculation runs rampant, and no one can conclusively answer – what happened to flight MH 370? The H 51 I-Team investigates (with the help of the Secret Transmission Podcast!) Plus, Conspiracy Bot decides he wants his pilots license.The tie between Derek Zoolander and the Malaysian Prime Minister is explored.

Polybius: The Arcade Game that Kills | 54
Ever played a video game and felt almost addicted? We’ve all been there. Then you get nauseous, have horrible nightmares, suffer from convulsions, and maybe even die? Oh wait, the Street Fighter 2 marathon didn’t do that? Well, a mysterious arcade game in the outskirts of Portland, Oregon did in the early 80’s. Polybius, allegedly only in a few arcades, was under constant surveillance by (you guessed it) men IN BLACK SUITS. Soon after it appeared, the mysterious arcade game vanished without warning—leaving no record of its existence. Did the game really exist? If so was it some sort of mind control experiment by the government, or something even more far fetched? Could it have been a testing ground to find the best and the brightest future stars of the US military? The H 51 I-Team investigates (but mostly just plays video games). Plus, is C Bot’s favorite game Global Thermonuclear War or Tic-Tac-Toe (hint: is isn’t Tic Tac Toe)? Who’s the best at Dig Dug (hint: it isn’t Brent). And is the Power Glove just…so bad (yes, of course it is).

Somerton Man - Australian Cold Case or International Spy Conspiracy? | 52
A recently deceased man’s body is discovered on an Australian beach. No signs of foul play and at first glance it appears to be just another unremarkable death. But then… The man can’t be identified…with any database…anywhere on the planet. All tags have been removed from his clothing, taking away the ability to even trace their country of origin. A small scrap of paper is found in his possession with two words in Persian, torn from a rare first edition book by a 12th century poet. Oh, and that natural death? Might not have been so natural. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg in what is considered Australia’s most perplexing cold case. The Somerton Man case has it all; love triangles, spy games, and even ciphers! Every good mystery needs a cipher. The H51 I-Team investigates. Plus, we discuss the various ways to die or get eaten in Australia, the return of C-Bot’s homicidal tendencies, and the return of the WHEEL OF CONSPIRACIES!

HAARP: The US Government's Weather Manipulator | 50
Can the government “weaponize” the weather? Are cataclysmic natural events around the world actually the result of an even colder war taking place between enemy states? If so, how would they do it? Enter HAARP – the The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program in Alaska. To some – a harmless antennae field in the middle of nowhere Alaska put in place to help study and expand worldwide communication abilities. But to others (ya know, the woke types) it’s a microwave on steroids ready to cause the next great tsunami or burn up a foreign dictator like an ant under a magnifying glass. But where lies the truth? The H51 I-team investigates.

Nazis and the Occult | 49
While they were busy losing the war, the Nazi’s were also failing at acquiring another type of power – supernatural. And while we know these wastes of oxygen did unequivocally lose the war…some wonder about their success in the other. Did they capture the power magick in their final hours? Creating super soldiers, conducting mind control, and reanimating the dead? Not to mention chatting with aliens and building a secret base in Antarctica. Plus, what’s the best way to kill Nazi zombies? (Call of Duty) What’s the best Indiana Jones movie? (Last Crusade) And is Crystal Skulls considered canon? (Not by us). All of that and more on the podcast that prefers our Nazis as zombies in video games – Hysteria 51.

DB Cooper - The Only Unsolved Plane Hijacking in US History | 48
Remember in Ocean’s Eleven when George Clooney boarded a plane wearing a dark suit and tie and opened his brief case showing a bomb to the flight attendant and hijacked the plane? Then he demanded 200K in cash, four parachutes and food for the crew before releasing all the passengers. Classic Clooney amirite?!? Then 45 minutes after takeoff, Clooney sent the flight attendant to the cockpit while donning the parachute, tied the bank bag full of the money to himself, and jumped into the night. When the plane landed, all they found were two leftover parachutes and the tie Clooney had been wearing…our suave protagonist was never caught…classic Clooney! OK – that wasn’t actually from Ocean’s Eleven and George Clooney wasn’t involved – but it ACTUALLY DID HAPPEN! That’s the basic story behind the mysterious hijacking and disappearance of DB Cooper in the Pacific Northwest in the early 70s. Did he actually get away with the only unsolved hijacking in US History? Could he have survived the jump? Where did the money go? Is a bourbon and soda the suavest drink to order while hijacking a plane? Plus, Nicolas Cage threatens Conspiracy Bot (he didn’t like Captain Correli’s Violin), we discuss the unfortunate turn Nic’s movies have taken as of late, and also talk our favorite CAGE flicks. So, yeah, in retrospect…lots of Nic Cage. All of that and more on the podcast that believes the only good airplane to hijack is CON AIR – Hysteria 51.

Nibiru: Planet X and the Reptilians | 47
Ever throw a great party only to have it crashed by an unexpected guest that shows up and ruins the whole thing? Eats all the guacamole, drinks all the beer, is actually an ancient alien civilization and/ or a rogue planet spiraling across the universe? You know, that ol’ chestnut. Well, that’s exactly what some people think is in our future when the (yet to be discovered) planet Nibiru comes calling later this year, or in a few hundred years, or when its (yet to be discovered) sun drags it this way. So yeah – we talk through that. Plus, is Sansa Stark a valuable member of the X-Men? Why is John singing showtunes? And the fellas figure out how to easily shut Conspiracy Bot up (hint: it’s related to John’s singing). All of that and more on the podcast that isn’t rooting for the alien apocalypse, but we’re not really rooting for Jean Grey either – Hysteria 51.

We take a look at some well known demonic entities from all across the world (not just Conspiracy Bot this time), dive deeper into the Catholic Church and exorcisms, and take a look at some famous demon hunters throughout history (and no that isn’t a World of Warcraft reference). Plus, is Mayor of Chicago Rahm Emanuel really the Mothman? Was Conspiracy Bot really possessed by Jeff Bezos? And can you win the spiritual battle for your soul by taking more baths?

Flat Earth Roundtable pt 2 | 45
Had enough flat earth yet? Us either. This week we continue our flat earth roundtable with 2 flat earth experts (feels like a weird word to use there, but hey they know their argument), guys from NASA and SpaceX, and an astrophysicist. We find out what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real-ly into their arguments. Plus, did dinosaurs actually exists? (Yes) Do flat earthers believe they did? (No) And is “ball-earth” a derogatory term? (We still aren’t sure) All of that and more on the podcast that might not think the Earth is flat, but seems to do a lot of episodes on it regardless – Hysteria 51.

Flat Earth Roundtable pt 1 | 44
This week’s show is a bit different. Don’t get us wrong, it’s still bad jokes and less than accurate information. Only this time it’s in roundtable form! Round table…but FLAT EARTH! See what we did there? Joining us are pundits from both sides of the aisle…or disk…or sphere. We’ve got 2 Youtube all stars on the flat earth side (Jeran of Jeranism and David Weiss of DITRH) and then Adam and Tach of The Twisted Ten fame (oh and they happen to work at NASA and Space X). And if that weren’t enough we threw in Astrophysicist Greg Finn to help stir the pot. We dive into whether or not flat earthers use the scientific method, whether or not gravity exists, and whether or not the moon is actually made of cheese (our fingers are still crossed).

Nikola Tesla | 43
Time travel, earthquake machines, and death-rays. No, not former WWE tag teams, but rather just a few of the thousands of inventions Nikola Tesla might have been responsible for. This brilliant (albeit batsh*t) inventor and scientist revolutionized the modern world as we know it and is even known as the father of electricity. But, how far did he take it? Was he talking to aliens? Did he create a death-ray? How was he the only man that could cure Mark Twain’s constipation? These burning Tesla questions and more this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot gets a toe (Canadian), the boys drink Zomething Zifferent (retro), and somehow Joe Peck makes it back on the show (bribery).

In July 1947 something crashed in the desert outside of Roswell, New Mexico. Was it an alien aircraft? A top secret military experiment? A ham sandwich? There are literally 1000’s of theories as to what actually happened in the grandaddy of all UFO incidents. In this week’s episode we get to the bottom of it…well, maybe not, but we present all sides of this story concisely…well, maybe it’s just best to say we talk about Roswell! Plus, child slaves on Mars, homosexual frog engineering, and Conspiracy Bot gets into rap. All of that and more on the podcast that has never been mistaken for a weather balloon – Hysteria 51.

Not to mention Beyoncé and Jay Z are running the Illuminati and Kurt Cobain was murderded by Courtney Love…allegedly. This week’s episode gets to the heart of some long runnning music conspiracies. Plus, Conspiracy Bot finds his new favorite artist (with an 8 Track on his back), Brent quotes Frank Sinatra (when trying to quote Elvis), and Stevie Nicks has drugs blown up her butt.

How is it possible, that collectively, we all remember movies that didn’t exist, song lyrics that were never written, and even monocles that were never worn? Plus, R2D2 makes an appearance, we meet Conspiracy Bot’s arch nemesis (1 guess), and an 80s hair band creates our new segment bumper.

Does the Earth hold untold mysteries that create the phenomena in the fields? Or, are there just a bunch of jerks out there that like stomping down the crops of these poor farmers? Plus, are aliens actually just searching for the Beatles? Is the Church of the Dude an actual church? And another edition of British Announcer Guy and Conspiracy Bot (now formally called Bag & Bot!).

Was HH Holmes Jack the Ripper | 37
Jack the Ripper and H.H. Holmes are two of the most prolific Gilded Age serial killers. The former terrorizing prostitutes in London while the latter killed unsuspecting Chicago women fresh off the train. But what if it was actually the same man? What if H.H. Holmes traveled the Atlantic in the late summer of 1888 to satiate his bloodlust. Hey, everyone needs a vacation. This week we dive into the similarities between the two and examine the possibility that Holmes WAS The Ripper. Plus, can a majestic mustache actually hypnotize you? Weighing the pros and cons of traveling with children vs murder. And Conspiracy Bot finally jumps the shark on our intros. All of that and more on the podcast that is SURE of one thing and that’s that John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald were definitively the same man – Hysteria 51.

Haunting of the RMS Queen Mary | 36
Lots of ships out there claim to be haunted, but not many can claim over 150 ghosts! This week’s topic does just that. The RMS Queen Mary was an active ship for over 30 years before being turned into a hotel in the LBC (that’s Long Beach, California for those of you low on street cred). We dive in to history and mystery behind these ghouls. Where did they come from? Why are they angry? If you’re a second class ghost why wouldn’t you move to first class (you can literally walk through walls)? We also ask the questions that other podcasts are afraid to ask. How does a chef get cooked in his own oven? What does a spirit nicknamed “Half Hatch Harry” have to do with Austin Powers? Are proton packs the best line of defense against spirits? Plus, Conspiracy Bot answers an email…sort of, we go over the pros and cons of gingerbread as building material, and the fellas discuss Bob Hope’s frontier days.

H.H. Holmes | 35
Imagine this Zillow listing: This charming and spacious 3 floor hotel has been lovingly maintained by the original owner for years! Interestingly angled, narrow corridors with…mood lighting. Dead ends and generous stairways that lead nowhere but are nonetheless magical. Many rooms are lined with asbestos-coated steel plates, completely soundproofed, and equipped with special peepholes…some even come with open gas pipes! The second story also features trapdoors, secret passageways, and large greased shafts leading directly to the cellar. The cellar has all the charm of a medieval doctor’s office complete with acid tank, quicklime vats, a dissection table, and an “elasticity determinator” that can stretch guests to twice their normal height. Human body sized furnace in the cellar for those cold Chicago nights. Seller willing to leave all! This was the hotel that America’s first serial killer, HH Holmes built on the south side of Chicago. Holmes and his “murder castle” are thought by some to have been responsible for the deaths of over 200 people during the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago. We dive in to the man, the myth, and the castle. Plus, we examine what it takes to create a race of giants, the absolute perfection of a late 1800s mustache, and Conspiracy Bot starts creating his own glitches in the Matrix. All of that and more on the podcast that’s never been to a “murder castle”, but has seen some pretty gnarly things at a Medieval Times – Hysteria 51.

Simulation Theory: Are We Living In The Matrix? | 34
Is reality real? Or could we be living in a computer simulation? Simulation theory proponents (from Elon Musk to Neil DeGrasse Tyson) claim that we are living in a Simulated Reality and are blissfully unaware. But what does that mean? Are we just a bad version of the Sims on some 14 year old’s computer in the future? Or, could this just be the next step in our understanding of the universe – a place where science and religion could one day meet? Spoiler alert, we don’t know but we drink and argue about it nonetheless. Plus, the best ways to lose weight in a simulation, Conspiracy Bot is weaponized, and a special tribute to the late and great Alan Thicke (show us that smile again!). All of that and more on the show that knows there is no spoon, and THAT, that’s why we always grab a fork – Hysteria 51. Special thanks to The Simulation Hypothesis from Fair Wind Films.

Ah, the old west. It was a simpler time. Horse drawn carriages, local general stores, barn raising, consumption, etc. Ya know…simple. That is until a cigar shaped UFO crashes into your windmill and then crushes the petunias. That’s what supposedly happened in the quaint Texas hamlet of Aurora. Were UFOs really visiting 1897 Texas? Did they really find an alien body in the wreckage. Did they really give it a Christian burial? If so, what denomination was said deceased E.T. These and more burning questions answered this week on the show. Plus, British Announcer Guy and Conspiracy Bot start a podcast, what to do when aliens give you arthritis, and are people with 2 first names credible witnesses?

Could he have been offing the ladies of the night after writing Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (it is a weird book)…we investigate.

Jack the Ripper | 30
Jack The Ripper, there isn’t a name more synonymous with murder than this Victorian aged serial killer. Though it’s been close to 130 years since his last murder, the lore and mystery behind the Ripper is as strong today as ever. How many drunk prostitutes did he actually kill? What was behind the evisceration of the corpses? Is working as a butcher an automatic qualifier for being a serial killer? Plus, the best wrestling finishing moves to use on elderly United passengers, Conspiracy Bot has a penchant for Agatha Christie and poison, and we explore nineties alternative rock band Sixpence None The Richer and their direct tie to the Ripper legend.

You can probably guess where this is going. But human flavored water isn’t even the weird part of the story. In this week’s episode we investigate the bizarre disappearance and death of Elisa Lam. Plus Conspiracy Bot’s British alter ego, a musical tribute to Rick Moranis, and the possibility of agreement between our hosts for the second week in a row.

Walton reappears five days later malnourished, dehydrated, and with one hell of a story to tell. Was it an amazing alien abduction, or a group of grifter’s get-rich-quick scheme? We get to the bottom of it. Plus, a gameshow that kills (literally), the positive impact of UFOs on trees, and a startling revelation about Conspiracy Bot’s past.

Zodiac Killer | 27
Ah, San Francisco in the late 60’s – free love, copious amounts of drugs, peace, harmony, and MURDER? The Zodiac Killer – an infamous serial killer who terrorized the San Francisco Bay Area for nearly a decade – has not been captured or identified to this day. Was this string of gruesome deaths the product of a deranged genius – taunting police with letters, ciphers, and phone calls? Or rather, was it the work of one or more attention starved nut jobs that were the beneficiaries of inept police work and the technological limitations of the time. We’ll get to the bottom of it. Plus, Conspiracy Bot get an upgrade, Eddie Murphy is on the show WAY too much, and we discuss how that rug REALLY did tie the room together. Oh, and we have a real life (almost) attorney on the show.

Here are the basics, the average temp will be roughly -15, the translated name of our destination is “Don’t Go There” and the route we’ll take will have us traversing “The Mountain of the Dead”. No takers? Well, in 1959 10 Russian college students decided to do that very thing. And…spoiler alert…9 of them didn’t come back. Theories as to their demise include wind born craziness (yes that’s a thing), Cold War chemical weapons, aliens, and even Yetis! The H51 I Team investigates. Plus, the triumphant return of Brent to the show, Conspiracy Bot pushes his luck a little too far, and the merits of sunbathing when you’re dead. All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t think we’ve been wiretapped by Barack Obama, but kinda hopes we were by Michelle – Hysteria 51.

Flat Earth | 25
Everyone needs a hobby and it turns out there’s a whole slew of people out there who’s hobby is believing the earth is flat. Flat like “sail off the end” flat. Some of them are even celebrities. We hear from a few on why they believe this ain’t no oblate spheroid. Plus Conspiracy Bot makes a friend, the Perfect Strangers theme song comes into play, and Brent might or might now have been visited by Reptilians (spoiler alert – it involves his gallbladder).

Lost City of Atlantis | 24
The Lost City of Atlantis. A myth propagated by conspiracy nuts and loons throughout the ages? Or, an advanced civilization too advanced for their time and wiped off the face of the earth? We discuss, plus did they have cell phones, was Atlantis ALSO a UFO filling station, and spirited discussions about rocks (it’s better than it sounds). Plus Conspiracy Bot starts to find some life direction, somehow the entire Atlanta Falcons organization is dragged into this, and bonafide Academy Award Winner – Nic Cage joins the show.

Oak Island pt 2 | 23
The Curse of Oak Island – a long time legend and now the name of an over-hyped History Channel reality show we all spend way too much time watching. This week the fellas continue the Oak Island conversation with the Lagina Brothers and all things O.I. in the modern era. The show that has America collectively asking, “can you just dig an f’n hole already?”. Also we talk Dan Blankenship’s superiority to Chuck Norris, the mystery that is his blue lip, and the virtues of being brave and stupid at the same time. Plus, we tell you what’s actually buried there and Conspiracy Bot gets personal and has a moment. All of that and more on the podcast that is preferred by 9 of 10 Canadians – Hysteria 51.

Oak Island | 22
O, Canada – the Great White North. Known for hockey, maple syrup, and Templar Knight treasure? King Solomon’s Menorah? Original Shakespearean manuscripts? While all of those might sound absurd (Vermont makes the best maple syrup silly). That and more are believed to be buried at the bottom of the Oak Island Money Pit. An alleged treasure location on Oak Island – a small island off the southern shore of Nova Scotia. Amid 2 centuries of digging, booby traps, and death, no one has discovered the location of the treasure, the origin, or its contents. Truth be told, there’s actually no proof a treasure of any type even exists. And yet, the treasure hunters endure. This week we “drill” into the history of the search and try to get to the “bottom” of the legend’s origin. “Dig” in with us on the podcast that always finds the treasure…at the bottom of the cereal box – Hysteria 51.

Dahmer – a name synonymous with murder, serial killings, cannibalism, and Ke$ha. Sorry, it’s really the only joke we could make here. That dude sucked…and bit…and cut. Ok, we’re done. Anyway, this week we talk all things Milwaukee Cannibal. We uncover what he did and why he did it. Ok, that’s a lie – we don’t really know WHY – but we take some stabs at it. Dammit…wasn’t even trying there. Anyway, we get to the bottom of it while talking rotisserie chicken with professional sports guy Bob Fescoe and Conspiracy Bot talks through his obsession with deer blood.

Chemtrails | 20
Mind control, weather manipulation, artificial pandemics, manufactured superstorms to be used as weapons. No, not the plot of the next G.I. Joe movie (though our fingers are crossed after that dumpster fire that was Retaliation. Seriously did you see that thing? AWFUL). It’s actually what many believe is being done by planes that cross our skies everyday via the streams of condensation that trail behind them…CHEMTRAILS! We talk potential perpetrators, possible motivation, and the likelihood of Conspiracy Bot being involved. Speaking of C Bot, we also find out the origin of his research (ever heard of ENIAC?), introduce our resident socialist Mark Frushour, and find the hidden agenda of the classic cartoon Ducktales.

Aftermath - Barney and Betty Hill | 19
In last week’s episode we learned about Barney and Betty Hill. A nice couple from New Hampshire that said they were abducted by aliens back in the early 60s. The problem was, they couldn’t really remember what happened. Did they learn the secrets of interstellar travel? Were they experimented on? Exactly how many anal probes were involved? The answer to these questions and more were missing along with their memories. So, the Hills did what any sensible couple would do – they visited a hypnotist. The results of those sessions, the aftermath of their story going public, and our theories on what really happened are all in this week’s edition of the show. Plus, Carl Sagan joins us (sort of), Conspiracy Bot takes another step towards our eventual demise, and we take a skeptical look at Stanton Friedman – the world’s foremost expert on alien abductions he can profit from. All of that and more on the podcast you can’t live with, but can live without (seriously, you can’t move in) – Hysteria 51.

Abduction - Barney and Betty Hill | 18
Alien abductions have a lot in common with first dates. They’re weird, you aren’t sure how they’ll end, and you get touched in fairly uncomfortable places…no, not like the back of a Volkswagen. The first modern, recorded example of these in the US happened September 19th, 1961 in rural New Hampshire. Barney and Betty Hill were on their way back from Canada (of course) when they say they had a close encounter. Did it really happen? If so, what did the aliens want? And why aren’t UFOs referred to as flying pancakes? The boys are joined by author and Mok’bara (Klingon martial art) expert Michael Paul Gonzalez, Conspiracy Bot abuses Flintstones vitamins, and the eerie similarities between aliens and the British are explored. All of that plus Robert Stack’s trench coat on the podcast that you aren’t mad at, just really disappointed in…Hysteria 51.

Roanoke - The Lost Colony | 17
Ever put something somewhere and when you come back to get it, it’s gone? Us too. Well, that also happened to artist-turned-governor John White in 1590. Though, instead of losing his keys, he lost a colony of over 100 people including his daughter and granddaughter. How’s that for being born under a bad sign? When John returned to the scene of the crime (?), not only were the people gone, but so were the buildings. The only thing that remained was a wood post with the word “Croatoan” etched into its surface. Where did they go? What did Croatoan mean? And why in GOD’S NAME WAS AN ARTIST IN CHARGE OF A COLONY? Sorry, we let that one get away from us. The H51 I-Team investigates. Plus Conspiracy Bot gets a seat at the table, Gofo tries (unsuccessfully) to convince Brent to read, and the boys share the words to a Jimmy Buffet song you only thought you knew.

If we didn’t, who was behind the conspiracy? Is the lunar surface actually comprised of cheese or is this just more “fake news” being perpetuated by supposedly credible news agencies like Saturday Night Live. These hard hitting questions and more along with the return of resident Reptilian expert Joe Peck and resident doctor (or as close as we’ll get…she’s in pre-med) Bailey Shemenski.

The Boston Strangler | 15
The Mad Strangler of Boston, The Phantom Strangler, The Silk Stocking Murders, The Boston Strangler. No matter the name, over a period of 2 years in the early 60’s one killer (or killers) murdered 13 women and terrorized a community. Then as suddenly as the horrific crimes started they stopped. Soon after a convicted rapist stepped forward and claimed to have murdered all 13 women. While the police, the city, and the entire New England area were relieved to have this fiend behind bars…some wonder if they had the right man. Many believe that not only could others have been involved, but that the true Strangler could still be walking the streets of Boston today. H 51’S i-team investigates.

#PIZZAGATE | 12
Ah, the internet. An interconnected series of tubes and wires bringing us all together with stupid cat videos, planking, and Viagra ads. But every now and then the internet produces a story befitting a late 80’s Robert Stack treatment. Enter #pizzagate. Through a series of wikileaked e-mails, Instagram photos and some BIG leaps of faith, the dark corners of the internet have decided that an independent pizza joint in Washington DC is the center hive to a satanic, pedophilic sex ring that is participated in and supported by the Washington elite – going all the way to the top. Has the collective wisdom of 4chan, Reddit, and the rest of the web uncovered a devilish plot, or have they vilified a bunch of people with nothing more than a hunch and a dream that s**t like this actually exists. H51 investigates (meaning we go below the first 2 results on Google this time). Plus, Mowens is back to help co-host and we have a HUGE guest that might, or might not be the President Elect.

The Philadelphia Experiment | 11
In 1943 the USS Eldridge conducted a top secret experiment at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. The experiment, intended to render the Eldridge invisible, had unintended consequences. The ship disappeared from sight and traveled through space and time to Norfolk, Virginia. When it reappeared in Philadelphia, members of the crew were fused into the hull while others were driven mad. Either that, or the Eldridge was never in Philadelphia at all and the whole thing is BS. We report, you decide (like Fox News, but legit). Plus Conspiracy Bot makes fun of Eagles fans and the fellas discuss the merits of mailing a cheesesteak to someone.

Simple. Bob told the world that aliens have been here, we have their ships, and he could prove it. Ever wonder how we all know about Area 51? This is the guy. Bob Lazar opened a virtual Pandora’s box with his accusations…the gravity of which can still be felt today. Sit back, relax, and hear the story of biggest UFO whistleblower in history.
