Hysteria 51

We take a detour from our regular H51 shenanigans this week so we can bask in the awesome that is Sun Studio in Memphis Tennessee.  Why you ask??Because Reasons!!  Reasons like Sun Studio is known worldwide as “The Birthplace of Rock’n’roll”. It is the discovery location of musical legends and genres of the 50’s from B.B. King and Elvis Presley to Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis; from Blues and Gospel to Country and Rock’n'roll.  And, Brent was joined by none other than Sam Kulper of Breakers Podcast to record this special episode in the very spot Elvis, Johnny, Jerry, B.B., and so many others started their iconic careers. All that and more on the podcast that might not be the next music sensation, but dang it at least we can record in the coolest places – Hysteria 51

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. Plus, do round things count as wheels? How much grease is too much? And the pros and cons of building boats out of tree trunks. All of that and more of the podcast that has never been to Stonehenge but we've certainly been...well, never mind. This is Hysteria 51.

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.

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.Special thanks to this week’s research sources: BooksThe Secret History of the Jersey Devil | Brian Regal & Frank J.

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. All of that and more on the podcast that knows a thing or two about building machines that wind up evil - Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week’s research sources: Research Assistant - Raymond Walden IVBooksChristine | Stephen KingVideos5 Scariest Car Stories - https://youtu.be/w9v2lKAgczAChristine - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085333/Rockwell Retro Encabulator - https://youtu.be/RXJKdh1KZ0wWebsitesEelKat.com - https://www.eelkat.com/Christine - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_(1983_film)Jalopnik - https://jalopnik.com/meet-the-golden-eagle-the-car-claimed-to-have-killed-a-1830037928Auto Evaluation - https://www.autoevolution.com/news/1964-dodge-golden-eagle-killed-at-least-14-people-puts-christine-to-shame-129779.htmlMotor Biscuit - https://www.motorbiscuit.com/1964-dodge-330-le-rumored-to-be-deadliest-car-in-america/Woodside Credit - https://www.woodsidecredit.com/mysteries-surrounding-5-classic-cars/Tiny Jump (Via WayBack Machine) - http://tinyjump.com/the-goldeneagle-faq-why-do-people-believe-this-car-is-haunted-cursed-or-possessed/Make sure to check out David’s Basement of the Bizarrehttps://basementofthebizarre.com/

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?). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t always cover clowns, but when we do Conspiracy Bot seems extra excited - Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week’s research sources: Research Assistant - Raymond Walden IVVideosWrinkles The Clown - Official Trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSOt0Ks97_ECreepy clowns in 30-second 'stare off' with Wisconsin police - https://youtu.be/9DtMbQtOtvECreepy Clown Craze Raising Concerns - https://youtu.be/gWT5h2Nj_isWebsitesBrtiannica - https://www.britannica.com/story/why-are-people-afraid-of-clownsClownopedia - https://clownopedia.fandom.com/wiki/John_Wayne_GacyClowns Without Borders - https://clownswithoutborders.org/2016 Clown Sightings - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_clown_sightingsSmithsonian Mag - https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/the-history-and-psychology-of-clowns-being-scary-20394516/Psychology Today - https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/in-excess/201909/why-are-clowns-so-scaryThe Daily Beast - https://www.thedailybeast.com/wrinkles-the-clown-the-real-life-clown-scarier-than-joker-that-terrorized-americas-kids?ref=scrollClowns Wiki - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clown#:~:text=The%20harlequinade%20developed%20in%20England,jester%20than%20a%20comical%20idiot. More from Linda Rodriguez McRobbieTwitter - https://twitter.com/LinRodWebsite - https://www.lindarodriguezmcrobbie.com/GoodReads - https://www.lindarodriguezmcrobbie.com/

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). All of that and more on the podcast that can’t wait to make up some crazy stuff to tell our loved ones on our death bed - Hysteria 51.

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.

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.Special thanks to this week’s research sources: Research Assistant - Raymond Walden IVVideosThe Lost City of Atlantis - Hidden in Plain Sight?
