Hysteria 51

The Ripper is back! This week we dive back into merry ol’ England and explore who could have been killing all of these drunk prostitutes. Was it a quack doctor who was also involved in the Lincoln assassination? What about Lewis Carroll? Could he have been offing the ladies of the night after writing Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (it is a weird book)…we investigate. Plus, is Prince Albert truly in a can, is Johnny Depp really a Freemason, and is this show actually just bad FM radio. All of that and more on the podcast that has never been accused of murder, but kills it each and every week – Hysteria 51.

Jack The Ripper, there isn’t a name more synonymous with murder than this Victorian aged serial killer. Though it’s been close to 130 years since his last murder, the lore and mystery behind the Ripper is as strong today as ever. How many drunk prostitutes did he actually kill? What was behind the evisceration of the corpses? Is working as a butcher an automatic qualifier for being a serial killer? Plus, the best wrestling finishing moves to use on elderly United passengers, Conspiracy Bot has a penchant for Agatha Christie and poison, and we explore nineties alternative rock band Sixpence None The Richer and their direct tie to the Ripper legend. All of that and more on the podcast that will never wrestle you off an airplane, but would love to just wrestle – Hysteria 51.

In early 2013 guests of a seedy LA hotel began complaining that the water tasted funny. At the same time a girl who had been staying at said hotel was missing. You can probably guess where this is going. But human flavored water isn’t even the weird part of the story. In this week’s episode we investigate the bizarre disappearance and death of Elisa Lam. Plus Conspiracy Bot’s British alter ego, a musical tribute to Rick Moranis, and the possibility of agreement between our hosts for the second week in a row. All of that and more on the podcast that warns you, don’t drink the water…just drink beer – Hysteria 51.

In 1975, a group of seven men are driving home after working in a forest when they see a mysterious light. Intrigued, Travis Walton leaves the truck — only to be sucked up by a flying saucer. Walton reappears five days later malnourished, dehydrated, and with one hell of a story to tell. Was it an amazing alien abduction, or a group of grifter’s get-rich-quick scheme? We get to the bottom of it. Plus, a gameshow that kills (literally), the positive impact of UFOs on trees, and a startling revelation about Conspiracy Bot’s past. All of that and more on the podcast that wants to draw you like one of your French girls…on MS Paint – Hysteria 51.

Ah, San Francisco in the late 60’s – free love, copious amounts of drugs, peace, harmony, and MURDER? The Zodiac Killer – an infamous serial killer who terrorized the San Francisco Bay Area for nearly a decade – has not been captured or identified to this day. Was this string of gruesome deaths the product of a deranged genius – taunting police with letters, ciphers, and phone calls? Or rather, was it the work of one or more attention starved nut jobs that were the beneficiaries of inept police work and the technological limitations of the time. We’ll get to the bottom of it. Plus, Conspiracy Bot get an upgrade, Eddie Murphy is on the show WAY too much, and we discuss how that rug REALLY did tie the room together. Oh, and we have a real life (almost) attorney on the show. Sorry, with this show’s budget – that was the best we could do. All of that and more on the podcast that just wants to be friends…with benefits – Hysteria 51.

Who wants to go hiking through the mountains of Russia? Here are the basics, the average temp will be roughly -15, the translated name of our destination is “Don’t Go There” and the route we’ll take will have us traversing “The Mountain of the Dead”. No takers? Well, in 1959 10 Russian college students decided to do that very thing. And…spoiler alert…9 of them didn’t come back. Theories as to their demise include wind born craziness (yes that’s a thing), Cold War chemical weapons, aliens, and even Yetis! The H51 I Team investigates. Plus, the triumphant return of Brent to the show, Conspiracy Bot pushes his luck a little too far, and the merits of sunbathing when you’re dead. All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t think we’ve been wiretapped by Barack Obama, but kinda hopes we were by Michelle – Hysteria 51.

Everyone needs a hobby and it turns out there’s a whole slew of people out there who’s hobby is believing the earth is flat. Flat like “sail off the end” flat. Some of them are even celebrities. We hear from a few on why they believe this ain’t no oblate spheroid. Plus Conspiracy Bot makes a friend, the Perfect Strangers theme song comes into play, and Brent might or might now have been visited by Reptilians (spoiler alert – it involves his gallbladder). All of that and more on the show that doesn’t believe the Earth is flat, but knows most of Madonna’s music is…Hysteria 51.

The Lost City of Atlantis. A myth propagated by conspiracy nuts and loons throughout the ages? Or, an advanced civilization too advanced for their time and wiped off the face of the earth? We discuss, plus did they have cell phones, was Atlantis ALSO a UFO filling station, and spirited discussions about rocks (it’s better than it sounds). Plus Conspiracy Bot starts to find some life direction, somehow the entire Atlanta Falcons organization is dragged into this, and bonafide Academy Award Winner – Nic Cage joins the show. All of that and more on show whose heart is in Atlantis, but mind is still in the gutter – Hysteria 51.

The Curse of Oak Island – a long time legend and now the name of an over-hyped History Channel reality show we all spend way too much time watching. This week the fellas continue the Oak Island conversation with the Lagina Brothers and all things O.I. in the modern era. The show that has America collectively asking, “can you just dig an f’n hole already?”. Also we talk Dan Blankenship’s superiority to Chuck Norris, the mystery that is his blue lip, and the virtues of being brave and stupid at the same time. Plus, we tell you what’s actually buried there and Conspiracy Bot gets personal and has a moment. All of that and more on the podcast that is preferred by 9 of 10 Canadians – Hysteria 51.

O, Canada – the Great White North. Known for hockey, maple syrup, and Templar Knight treasure? King Solomon’s Menorah? Original Shakespearean manuscripts? While all of those might sound absurd (Vermont makes the best maple syrup silly). That and more are believed to be buried at the bottom of the Oak Island Money Pit. An alleged treasure location on Oak Island – a small island off the southern shore of Nova Scotia. Amid 2 centuries of digging, booby traps, and death, no one has discovered the location of the treasure, the origin, or its contents. Truth be told, there’s actually no proof a treasure of any type even exists. And yet, the treasure hunters endure. This week we “drill” into the history of the search and try to get to the “bottom” of the legend’s origin. “Dig” in with us on the podcast that always finds the treasure…at the bottom of the cereal box – Hysteria 51.
