Hysteria 51
Haunted Car Wash & UFOs at Nuke Sites | 453
This week on Hysteria 51, we’re sudsing up the spooky and scrubbing down the strange! First, we take a spin through a haunted car wash in California that turns your sedan into a scream machine. Clowns, chainsaws, and soap—what could possibly go wrong? Is this the perfect blend of clean and creepy, or are we entering the final rinse cycle of sanity? Then it’s a hard turn into the paranormal deep end with newly “validated” reports of non-human intelligence near U.S. nuclear sites. That’s right, the scientific community is finally catching up with what UFO researchers have been shouting for decades: the aliens might be more interested in our missiles than our memes. From shrieking suds to extraterrestrial espionage, this episode is certified fresh by Conspiracy Bot and mildly terrifying by your local nuclear physicist. Lather up, buckle in, and beam aboard—it’s another beautifully bizarre ride on Blurry Hysteria! Links & Resources 📌Scary Suds 📌Nuke Nosey E.T.

Ghost Broadcasts & Falling Poop Rocks | 452
This week on Hysteria 51, we crank the weird dial to 11 with phantom radio signals and frozen sky turds—because that’s where the news cycle is at, folks. First up: Cambodia is accusing Thailand of psychological warfare via ghostly broadcasts along the border. Locals say they’re hearing creepy voices and haunting music at night, with zero explanation. Are they propaganda? Poltergeists? Or just some dude with a karaoke machine and too much time? Then, we head to India where residents of Gurugram found mysterious frozen chunks that fell from the sky and stored them in a fridge, thinking it was a rare mineral. Plot twist: it was airplane poop. That’s right—turns out not all that glitters is gold, and not all that falls from above is a blessing. It’s specters on the airwaves and sewage from the stratosphere in one delightfully deranged episode. Conspiracy Bot is way too excited about both stories. Tune in now—before your speakers whisper back and your freezer becomes a crime scene.

Alien DNA in Humans & Cat Wine for Pets | 451
This week on Hysteria 51, we swirl a glass of weird with a splash of what-the-actual-hell. First up: A New Zealand company is now selling non-alcoholic “wine” for cats and dogs—finally, your pet can join you in judging reality TV with a glass of Pinot Meow. It’s cute, it’s confusing, and it raises more questions than answers. Conspiracy Bot is demanding a robot-friendly rosé. Then, we spiral into deep-space biology as a scientist claims that alien DNA is embedded in the human genome. That’s right—there may be a little E.T. in all of us. (Which would explain some of your uncle’s Facebook posts.) It’s felines, fine wine (kind of), and fringe science in one deliciously derailed episode of audio absurdity.

Hysteria 51
Disney Scuba Robber Escapes & Strangers Share the Same Dream | 450
This week on Hysteria 51, we dive deep—literally and figuratively—into two bizarre stories that prove reality is way weirder than fiction. First up: A man in scuba gear robs a restaurant at Disney Springs and swims away through a lagoon like a Bond villain on spring break. It’s equal parts daring heist, Florida headline, and splashy cosplay crime. Ocean’s Eleven? More like Nemo’s One. Then, we explore a mysterious dream phenomenon sweeping social media: complete strangers around the world are having the exact same dream—a mysterious man, an endless hallway, and an overwhelming sense of déjà vu. Are we in a simulation? Or just due for a firmware update? It’s submerged theft and subconscious synchronicity all in one delightfully unhinged episode. C-Bot tries dream-hacking, and Brent forgets his floaties. Listen now before your dreams turn into true crime scenes.

Mummy DNA Mystery & The Man Who Towed a Ship With His Teeth | 449
This week on Hysteria 51, we flex our mental muscles and our molars as we dive into a pair of stories that’ll have you questioning reality—and your dentist. First up: Egyptian strongman Ashraf Mahrous has gone viral for towing a 31-ton ship with his teeth. That’s right—he didn’t just sink the competition, he hauled it. Conspiracy Bot now thinks flossing is a form of weight training. Then, we unwrap a truly bizarre tale from the ancient world: newly discovered mummies in Morocco don’t share DNA with modern humans. Are they lost ancestors? Interdimensional visitors? Or just the original weird uncles of prehistory? It’s muscles, mummies, and mysteries in this week’s whirlwind of WTF. Grab your protein shake and your tinfoil hat—things are about to get prehistorically powerful. Listen now before the mummies make a comeback… with gym memberships.

Butt Sniffers, Fart Spray Mayhem & Alien Tentacle Rocks | 448
This week on Hysteria 51, we're sniffing out the weirdest corners of the news cycle—and we mean that very literally. First up: California’s notorious serial butt sniffer is back behind bars after yet another arrest. We didn’t think it was a competitive sport, but apparently there are leagues. Then, a college teaching assistant gets charged with causing $55K in damages using fart spray. Yes, that’s real. Yes, it made us gag-laugh. Then in our second segment, things get extraterrestrial as "some guys" says he is studying a meteorite that grows tentacle-like structures when exposed to light. It’s like The Thing, but wetter and with less lab coats yelling "What the hell is that?!" From gas to the galaxy, this episode is stuffed with enough weirdness to make even Conspiracy Bot squirm. Bring nose plugs. Listen now before the tentacle rocks learn to sniff back.

Scalpel Shenanigans & Sexy Surgery Scandals | 447
This week on Hysteria 51, we scrub in for a double dose of medical mayhem that'll leave you saying, "Wait, he did WHAT mid-surgery?!" First, we unravel the bizarre case of the surgeon who amputated his own legs and ended up in jail—yes, his own. Was it a botched medical stunt, a dark cry for help, or just the world's worst attempt at PTO? Then we dive scalpel-first into the scandal rocking the UK medical world: a doctor who allegedly walked out mid-surgery to go have sex with a nurse. Talk about a different kind of bedside manner... Expect scalpels, scandal, and snark as Kevin Crispin of Behind Beautiful Things podcast sits in for David this week to help break down the headlines you won’t believe made it past the triage nurse. Weird news meets wild commentary—prescribed weekly, no co-pay required.

Kentucky Testicle Stabbing & the Song That Sweetens Chocolate | 446
This week on Hysteria 51, we dive headfirst into a tale of sweet treats and savage scissors—because of course we do. First, from the “Why? Just… why?” files: A Kentucky man allegedly broke into his brother’s home and stabbed him in the testicles with scissors. That’s not sibling rivalry—that’s Game of Thrones: Dollar Store Edition. Conspiracy Bot approves so you know it's bad. Then things take a gentler turn (thankfully) with the news that listening to a certain song can actually make chocolate taste sweeter. Science finally did something we care about. Is it witchcraft? Synesthesia? A long-lost Willy Wonka track? It’s nuts, it's nougat, it’s a rollercoaster of the bizarre. And yes, C-Bot’s making a Spotify playlist to weaponize dessert. Listen now—before someone remixes your M&Ms with mayhem.

Blurry Hysteria: Cybertruck Missile Launchers & Florida’s Robot Bunny Army | 445
This week on Blurry Hysteria, we're plugging into the absurdity matrix with military-grade trucks and carrot-chasing tech. First up: The U.S. Air Force has big Elon energy as it considers Tesla Cybertrucks as mobile missile launchers. Because nothing screams “stealth warfare” like a stainless-steel wedge tearing across the desert, ready to launch payloads and post about it on X. Buckle up—this isn’t your grandpa’s Cold War. Then it’s off to Florida (because of course it is), where robotic rabbits are being deployed to help test roadside sensors. Yes, Florida is now a place where bunny-bots roam freely in the name of traffic safety. Somewhere, a real rabbit is deeply offended. It’s tech gone wild in the best (and worst) ways, and Conspiracy Bot’s already volunteering to be retrofitted with missile pods and bunny ears.

Blurry Hysteria: Hair Paste & Courtside Chaos | 444
This week on Blurry Hysteria, we're brushing up on dental science and throwing shade (and other things) at the WNBA. First up: Scientists have discovered that human hair—yes, hair—can be turned into a toothpaste that naturally repairs tooth enamel. Finally, a use for all that shower drain spaghetti! It’s minty, it's weird, and C-Bot already tried to floss with a toupee. Then, we head courtside where a New Yorker was arrested for allegedly chucking a sex toy during a WNBA game. The real twist? Prosecutors say crypto bros might be behind a wave of lewd disruptions. Just when you thought meme coins couldn’t get weirder, they start launching rubber projectiles at professional athletes. It’s follicle freshness meets frisky felonies in this week's batch of beautifully bonkers headlines.

Beautiful Blurry Hysteria: Mascot Maulings, Skin Suits & Tentacle Bunnies | 443
This week on Beautiful Blurry Hysteria, Kevin Crispin from the Behind Beautiful Things podcast jumps into the weirdness with us—and oh boy, did the headlines deliver! First up: The Seattle Kraken’s mascot, a googly-eyed sea troll named Buoy, had a brush with bear-based oblivion while filming a fishing segment. Turns out even mascots aren’t safe from nature’s "grizzly" reboot of Wild Kingdom. Next: A widow in love—and with very specific taste in decorating—decided to memorialize her husband by having his skin removed and turning it into a wall-hanging. Nothing says romance like a dermis doily! And finally: Tentacled rabbits—yes, tentacled—are hopping across the Midwest like an anime gone feral. Is it a mutation? A science experiment gone wrong? Or has Cthulhu finally discovered 4-H? It’s bears, bizarre love, and bunnies that go bump in the lab on this week’s wild ride through the weird.

Blurry Hysteria: Triangle Troubles & DIY Organ Theft | 442
This week on Blurry Hysteria, we're diving deep into two stories that’ll leave you gasping harder than a cruise ship lost in the Bermuda Triangle. First up: has the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle finally been solved? Spoiler: it involves “normal crap ,” science, and a deep-rooted conspiracy by oceanographers who clearly don’t want us blaming aliens anymore. Convenient, right? Then things get even weirder (and way more horrifying) in Kentucky, where a man allegedly woke up during an organ harvesting procedure. We’ve heard of “rising from the operating table,” but this is some straight-up Frankenstein-level nightmare fuel. Cue the lawsuits... and the stitches. From vanishing ships to near-vanished kidneys, Hysteria 51 delivers another high-octane dose of science, suspicion, and the kind of headlines that make you scream, “WAIT, WHAT?!” Links & Resources 📌Triangle Shenanigans 📌Operating Room Oops Email us your favorite WEIRD news stories: weird@hysteria51.com Support the Show Get exclusive content & perks as well as an ad and sponsor free experience at https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51 from just $1 Shop Be the Best Dressed at your Cult Meeting! https://www.teepublic.com/stores/hysteria51?ref_id=9022 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Beautiful Blurry Hysteria: Boozy Apes & Alien Comets | 441
Brent’s out sick (again—we suspect “banana flu”), so Kevin Crispin of Behind Beautiful Things returns to the co-host seat, bravely facing the weird without a net or a breathalyzer. First up: were our primate ancestors a bunch of jungle drunks? New research says our ability to metabolize alcohol might trace back to apes that got buzzed on fermented fruit. Evolution’s happy hour, anyone? Then we cast our bleary eyes skyward at Comet 3I (aka ATLAS), which some folks think might not be a comet at all… but an alien probe. Is it just icy space junk—or are E.T.’s creepy cousins doing a flyby? It’s an interstellar cocktail of cosmic conspiracy and evolutionary inebriation this week as Kevin and Conspiracy Bot try not to spill their drinks... or their dignity.

Blurry Hysteria: Trigger-Happy Monks & Macarena Meltdowns | 440
This week on Blurry Hysteria, enlightenment gets loaded and detention turns into a dance party. First stop: Thailand, where one monk decided to solve a holy disagreement with a very unholy piece—yes, he shot a fellow monk after a heated temple debate. It’s like Kill Bill: Dharma Edition. Spoiler alert: Buddha does not approve of bullets in the lotus position. Then, over in the UK, a teacher channels full chaos mode—swigging booze in class, swearing at students, and finishing it off with an impromptu performance of the Macarena. Was it a nervous breakdown or just Tuesday? Either way, it’s giving substitute teacher energy on meth. Between misfiring monks and Macarena meltdowns, it’s another week where logic takes a backseat and Conspiracy Bot gets way too into interpretive dance.

Blurry Hysteria: Exploding Cucumbers & the Village of Vice | 439
This week on Blurry Hysteria, we’re going from botany to debauchery faster than a cucumber can… well… explode. First up: Meet the squirting cucumber—a totally real plant that launches its seeds like a veggie cannonball at speeds up to 29 mph. It's evolution’s answer to “hold my beer,” and yes, scientists are weirdly excited about its fruit-based fireworks. Then, things get extra juicy as we head to the quiet English village of Festival shame—I mean fame. Hundreds of adventurous couples descended upon a sleepy town for Swingathon, the UK’s biggest sex festival. Camping, classes, and copulation abound—turns out the only thing louder than the exploding cucumbers might be the neighbors complaining. We’re mixing nature’s naughtiness with human hilarity in an episode that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about produce and polite British society. And yes, Flora makes all the cucumber jokes you’re already thinking of (and worse).

Blurry Hysteria: Banned in the USA – Unicorn Meat, Bingo Limits, and WTF Laws | 438
This week on Blurry Hysteria, we’re diving headfirst into the strangest laws Uncle Sam ever cooked up—laws so bizarre, you’ll think the Constitution was ghostwritten by Dr. Seuss. From banned bags of unicorn meat (yes, really) to limiting bingo games for the elderly, pickle regulations, and the horror of owning more than six dildos in Texas (we don’t kink shame, but apparently lawmakers do)—we’re counting down the wackiest, weirdest things outlawed across the land of the free and the home of the what-the-actual-hell. Is it a public safety measure or a nationwide prank that just got out of hand? Can Conspiracy Bot legally podcast in 12 states or is his AI butt technically contraband? Tune in for a ridiculous romp through red tape, courtroom chaos, and laws that sound like they came straight from a Mad Libs legal pad. It’s all 100% real, 100% weird, and 1000% America.

Blurry Hysteria: Flesh Chips & Swamp Crotch Security Risks | 437
This week on Blurry Hysteria, we dive into two stories that are equal parts science, sweat, and straight-up strange. First up: What if your next computer wasn’t silicon but flesh? That’s right—British scientists have created a "living" brain chip made of human neurons, and now you can rent it like it’s a haunted Airbnb. Is it the future of computing or the first step toward Skynet with skin? Then, we travel from the uncanny valley to the swampy undercarriage of airport security. The TSA is sounding the alarm—literally—thanks to a little-known phenomenon known as “swamp crotch.” Turns out excessive groin sweat might be your ticket to a full pat-down. Moisture and metal detectors don’t mix, folks. From meat-based microchips to moisture-based misfires, join us for a perfectly weird cocktail of cutting-edge tech and humid horror stories.

Blurry Hysteria: Jurassic Sharks & Tarmac Snacks | 436
This week on Blurry Hysteria, we dive deep—literally—into prehistoric weirdness and modern airport madness. First up, scientists exploring Kentucky’s Mammoth Cave have uncovered two brand new species of ancient sharks, proving that even in a cave, life finds a way to terrify you. Fossilized jaws, razor teeth, and the lingering dread that somewhere down there might be one still chewing. Take a bite out of ancient history with us—just mind your fingers. Then we taxi straight onto the chaos of Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, where a food delivery driver was caught joyriding across the tarmac like it was DoorDash: Fast & Furious Edition. Why follow signs when you can follow your gut right onto the runway? From subterranean sea beasts to security breaches with snacks, this episode has it all: fossils, fries, and a side of “how is this real?” Links & Resources 📌Jurassic Sharks 📌Tarmac Snacks  Email us your favorite WEIRD news stories: weird@hysteria51.com Support the Show Get exclusive content & perks as well as an ad and sponsor free experience at https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51 from just $1 Shop Be the Best Dressed at your Cult Meeting! https://www.teepublic.com/stores/hysteria51?ref_id=9022 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Blurry Hysteria: Bigfoot Bud & Raccoon Rodeo | 435
This week on Blurry Hysteria, we saddle up for a backwoods double feature that’s fuzzier than a Sasquatch in a fur coat during molting season. First up, a cannabis dispensary in Oklahoma is high on the hunt for Bigfoot—offering discounts to anyone who brings in photographic proof of the hairy legend. Because nothing pairs better with a blurry cryptid sighting than a fresh eighth and a coupon. Is this marketing genius, or just another smoke signal to the stoner cryptozoology community? Then we head east to Kentucky, where a man known only as Cowboy Cody is accused of unleashing a raccoon into a bar… on purpose. Why? Unclear. But charges include trespassing, resisting arrest, and—naturally—failure to maintain required insurance. We’re not sure what’s wilder: the raccoon, Cody, or the bar’s Yelp reviews. From the forest to the dive bar, it’s a full-blown feral frenzy this week on Blurry Hysteria. So roll up, raccoon up, and prepare for the weirdest news roundup this side of the Mississippi.

This week on Blurry Hysteria, the boys wade into a double feature of WTF?! First up: An AI startup valued at $1.5 BILLION implodes after it's revealed that 700 of its "A.I. Engineers" were just… humans pretending to be AI. That’s right—turns out the real artificial intelligence was the friends we made along the way (and then fired). We dive deep into this Silicon Valley farce where catfishing took on a whole new digital dimension. Then we shift gears—hard—to the story of Annie Knight, an OnlyFans creator who got herself hospitalized after having sex with 583 men in a single session. No, that’s not a typo. Yes, there was a spreadsheet. It's the kind of story that makes you rethink the phrase "putting in the work." Was it love? Lust? Or just an extreme form of cardio? From fake bots to bods on overdrive, it’s another bizarre ride through the news cycle that’ll make you question reality, humanity, and the endurance of the human pelvis. Links & Resources 📌A.I.

Hysteria 51
Hysteria 51 is your offbeat weekly podcast destination for all things weird and wonderful! We navigate the cosmic highways of UFOs, the alien-infested landscapes, and the enigmatic frontiers of the paranormal. With your hosts, Brent Hand and David Flora, alongside our cantankerous tin man, Conspiracy Bot (with a not-so-subtle desire to rule the world, doubling as our chief inquisitor into the unknown), we delve into unique mysteries, the inexplicable, and the downright unusual. Each week, we explore a fresh topic, making one thing crystal clear... the truth is out there, but you won’t find it here.
