The Mysterious Disappearance of Flight MH 370 | 55 Oct 09, 2017

Show notes

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. And we pay homage to the best aeronautical movie of all time, Airplane! All of that and more on the podcast that would take a lot more flights if we weren’t on the no fly list – Hysteria 51.

Polybius: The Arcade Game that Kills | 54 Oct 02, 2017

Show notes

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). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never had our mind controlled by a video game, but HAS controlled a video game with our minds…and forearms…and fists – Hysteria 51.

Sea Monsters | 53 Sep 25, 2017

Show notes

Over 70% of the earth’s surface is covered in water. And over 95% of that waterscape is unexplored. What lurks beneath the surface? Are there unknown beasts in the deep of imaginable size, ready to eat ships and destroy cities? Are there breeding populations of thought extinct fish, reptiles, and even dinosaurs? This week we’ll dive in deep and release the Kraken to find out. Plus, should the boys scrap C Bot in lieu of a Jaeger? (Yes) Can C Bot lift Thor’s hammer? (No) And are all the best sea monsters found at Red Lobster? (Of course) All of that and more on the podcast that prefers its sea monsters with a little butter and lemon – Hysteria 51.

Somerton Man - Australian Cold Case or International Spy Conspiracy? | 52 Sep 18, 2017

Show notes

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! All of that and more on the podcast that isn’t from the Land Down Under, but we sure like to party like we are – Hysteria 51.

Area 51 | 51 Sep 11, 2017

Show notes

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.

HAARP: The US Government's Weather Manipulator | 50 Sep 04, 2017

Show notes

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. Plus, C Bot has a new money making scheme (it isn’t very good), he has a new rap, (it too isn’t very good), and he stars in a new episodes of Bag and Bot (also not very good). All of that and more on the podcast that can’t control the weather, but certainly likes to make it rain – Hysteria 51.

Nazis and the Occult | 49 Aug 28, 2017

Show notes

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.Special thanks to this week’s research sources:BooksThe Occult Roots of Nazism | Nicholas Goodrick-ClarkeNazis and the Occult: The Dark Forces Unleashed by the Third Reich | Paul RolandBlack Sun: Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism, and the Politics of Identity | Nicholas Goodrick-ClarkeVideosHitler and the Occult | History ChannelNazis: The Occult Conspiracy - https://imdb.to/39px6kQHitler's Monsters: A Supernatural History of the Third Reich - https://bit.ly/37kOLZBMaria Orsic - The Goddess of the Devil: Hitler's Medium - https://bit.ly/3bH8C8WWebsitesAeon - https://bit.ly/2wbXCA4Occultism in Nazism/Wikipedia - https://bit.ly/37iORRGVölkisch Movement/Wikipedia - https://bit.ly/39uhZ9XThule Society/Wikipedia - https://bit.ly/38xfi7H|Guido von List/Wikipedia - https://bit.ly/31LMbdYVril/Wikipedia - https://bit.ly/2SHoUWmConspiracy Wiki - https://bit.ly/2SDRbNHWashington Post - https://wapo.st/2SDQ1ljCambridge University Press - https://bit.ly/2HilAfbThe Spectator - https://bit.ly/2SHStr5Crystalinks - https://bit.ly/39uNa53

DB Cooper - The Only Unsolved Plane Hijacking in US History | 48 Aug 21, 2017

Show notes

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.Special thanks to this week’s research sources:BooksSkyjack: The Hunt for D. B.

Nibiru: Planet X and the Reptilians | 47 Aug 14, 2017

Show notes

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.

Demons and Exorcisms | 46 Aug 07, 2017

Show notes

It’s split pea soup and spinning head week on Hysteria 51 as we take on demons and exorcisms! 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? All of that and more on the podcast that has never had an exorcism, but loves a good jazzercism – Hysteria 51.
