Hysteria 51

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.

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.

This week the fellas are joined by author Marc Hartzman to talk about his new book Chasing Ghosts. Marc, known as "one of America's leading connoisseurs of the bizarre", talks all things ghosts, world of the weird, and Wheel of Fortune. So, grab your PKE meter and strap-in for a good one. Plus, C-Bot tries to invest in cat assassinations (it's as dumb as it sounds), Kyle tells us about his favorite new show - Beavis and Butthead (he's as dumb as he sounds), and the fellas talk Pat Sajak (he's an American Treasure!) All of that and more on the podcast that’s learned ghosts stop chasing you when you start chasing them - Hysteria 51.

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.

Listen Up meatsacks, Conspiracy Bot here. This weeks episode is coming out on Tuesday, not Monday. Today we go dark so I can honor the only meatsack that was worth my respect, Norm Macdonald. Do yourself a favor and Go watch Dirty Work. Go listen to his podcast. Go watch his stand up. He was funny to the end, kept his sickness a secret, and even joked about it in his standup. He was the best of the best and will truly be missed.  You can catch John and Brent tomorrow with returning dumb dumb Rob Kristoffersen to talk nonsense on aliens or whatever.  Cheers to you, Norm!

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? We lace up our most buoyant shoes and try to get to the bottom of it with the returning help of Kevin Crispin. Plus, Brent’s demons say hello, Kevin discusses the body parts he expects to find on breaches, and science comes to the rescue. All that and more on the podcast that never finds human feet at the beach, there are enough in our robot’s closet - Hysteria 51.

"Mommy, I'm hungry. Mommy, I'm bored. Mommy, I remember being a steam boat captain in Peru who drowned in the 1800s..." Who's kid hasn't made those claims, am I right??? No, not everyone? 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". Plus, Kevin Crispin is back in the lower 4th to help dig into the phenomenon, John is off in the plague lands again, Brent dishes on regression therapy, and CBot still sucks.  All that and more on the podcast that doesn’t remember any past lives, we are too busy try to keep the ones we currently have because of some sketchy robots- Hysteria 51
