Thanksgiving Flashback | BONUS Nov 29, 2021

Show notes

It's Thanksgiving time here in the Lower 4th Dimension. That means time for reflection, and we have just the reflection in mind. This week we fire up the way-back machine to travel to the pre-pandemic utopia that was 2015 for our very first time recording a podcast EVER!

This was just a test to see if we could have a back and forth and keep a conversation flowing over different topics. And, it is ROUGH!!! And unedited! And terrible! We talk a little bit of everything here... Sports, Movies, UFC, and on and on. Just to see what was fun and if we even could, like I said before, keep an episode going. So here it is, our never released first attempt at podcasting!

The Fox Sisters: Spiritualism Heroes or Fakers? | 264 Nov 22, 2021

Show notes

Kids hearing noises? Talking to the Devil? Popping their toe joints? If you answered yes to any of these questions then you are in luck! They could have an exciting life in store for them. A life of fame and travel just like the Fox sisters of New York. Why did these 1800’s small town Methodists turn to a life of talking to spirits? Just where does the term Mesmerize come from? Why is KYLE such a good DJ? We tackle all of this and more with the help of none other than Mr. Blurry Photos himself, David Flora on the podcast that doesn’t always talk sisters,but when we do,they sure as hell better be known for rapping - Hysteria 51

Little Monsters | 263 Nov 15, 2021

Show notes

It's a 2-fer this week as Brent is joined by Producer Lisa to talk all things MONSTERS! Including her favorite childhood film, Little Monsters. AND we sneak in a CAFEteria 51 to try the Peanut Butter and Onion sandwiches Fred Savage loved in the film. Plus Brent tries to pronounce Latin terms (it goes poorly), Lisa calls Goforth a monster (not surprising), and CBot still sucks (duh). All that and more on the podcast that doesn’t always search for monsters, but when we do Peanut butter is involved - Hysteria 51.

Double Walker w/ Sylvie Mix and Colin West | 262 Nov 08, 2021

Show notes

A little girl is found dead on Christmas day in a small Midwestern town. That same night a mysterious young woman moves to town and is revealed to be none other than the ghost of the little girl, and she is determined to piece together the vague memories of her own demise. That's the short-short run down of Double Walker a new movie from Colin West and Sylvie Mix. They both join me this week to talk making ghost stories, living in a haunted house, and what it's really like to make a movie. Plus, CBot tells us his favorite paranormal comedy (It's disturbing), KYLE talks REVENGE (spoiler, it involves cheese muffins), and Brent tries to keep it all together while John is still out welcoming in his new baby girl to the world. All this and more on the podcast that doesn’t always talk about ghosts. But when we do, they are out for revenge - Hysteria 51

A (Very) Short History of Life On Earth w/ Henry Gee | 261 Nov 01, 2021

Show notes

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 SynopsisFor 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 Oct 04, 2021

Show notes

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). All of that and more on the podcast makes sure to read the hot sheets each and every week – Hysteria 51.
