Hysteria 51

Latest Episodes:

The Space Pen Club w/ Martin Keller | 249 Jul 26, 2021

Show notes

While "The Space Pen Club" might sound like a 90's Ska band, the subject in question is actually a new UFOlogy book by Martin Keller. Martin joins the fellas to talk about his new book, his take on the recent UFO hubbub, and even his years as a publicist for the infamous Dr. Steven Greer. Plus, Kyle is offering "verbal hugs" (I'd be scared), C-Bot is offering to find dead bodies (less frightening) and a listener from Austria leaves a VM (that bet's settled...Austria IS real). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never owned a space pen, but did have this pen growing up that had a picture of a girl and when you twisted...never mind...this is Hysteria 51.

Mad Blurry Hysteria | 248 Jul 22, 2021

Show notes

It's Mad Blurry Hysteria time once again as we dive head first into the pool with Guinness Book of World Records for the longest time to hold your breath (It Is Crazy!). Then it’s DNA time – from the air… (nothing to worry about there). And finally, George Knapp brings out more UAP photos for us to tackle.

Robert The Doll | 247 Jul 19, 2021

Show notes

Boy gets Doll. Boy names Doll after himself. Boy is forced by Doll to go by his middle name for the rest of his life. Boy is terrorized by Doll nightly until it is locked in the attic. Rinse and repeat. We know what you're thinking, That old chestnut... This week Brent travels back to 1904 when Robert Gene Otto received the cursed inspiration for the movie Chucky and countless other scary stories. Not one to haunted doll shop alone, he is joined by Bobby and Bobby (that's a twofer of Bobs to talk a bout a doll named Bob if you are playing along at home) from The Inhuman Experience to tackle all things Robert The Doll. Is it really haunted? (Maybe) Can it still curse you? (Some say so) And, is the real scary part that it is kept in Florida? (Duh) All that on more on the podcast that has never owned a haunted doll, but we have a couple robots that are suspect - Hysteria 51

Jonathan Maberry | 246 Jul 12, 2021

Show notes

New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Maberry joins the fellas this week to talk about his newest book, Relentless - the latest installment in the popular Joe Ledger thriller series. 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 Jul 05, 2021

Show notes

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 Jun 28, 2021

Show notes

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 Jun 21, 2021

Show notes

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. All of that and more on the podcast that’s never seen a blimp crash, but we watch a certain podcast do it on a weekly basis - Hysteria 51.

Was There Someone Here Before “Us”? | 242 Jun 14, 2021

Show notes

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 Jun 07, 2021

Show notes

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 May 31, 2021

Show notes

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?
