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.

    Blurry Hysteria: Flightless Birds & Frisky Boxcars | 426

    This week on Blurry Hysteria, the world proves once again that reality is stranger (and way funnier) than fiction. First up, we flap our way into South Africa, where a helicopter crash had one very unexpected stowaway: a penguin in a cardboard box. Is it espionage? A fishy getaway plan? Or just the weirdest Uber ride in aviation history? Then we chug along to Missouri, where a man found himself back in cuffs for getting a little too intimate with a train seat. That's right—he's on a one-way trip to the “nope” station with a layover in “why tho?” From avian absurdity to locomotive lust, it’s another baffling journey through the bizarre—only on Blurry Hysteria!

    You've Reached Hysteria 51: Please Leave Your Weird After the Beep | 425

    Ever wonder what happens when you give our listeners a phone line and zero supervision? Spoiler alert: chaos, confusion, and conspiracies. This week, the inmates run the asylum as we dive headfirst into the Hysteria 51 voicemail inbox! From theories that would make your tinfoil hat itch to questions that even Conspiracy Bot can't insult properly (but he'll try anyway), it's a rollercoaster of paranormal ponderings and general weirdness. Tune in as we play and react to your voicemails – the good, the bizarre, and the beautifully unhinged. It's unscripted, unpredictable, and undeniably Hysteria 51.

    Beautuful Blurry Hysteria: Zoological Follies | 424

    In this special edition of Beautiful Blurry Hysteria, Kevin Crispin from Behind Beautiful Things steps in to wrangle the weird while Brent takes a breather! From a Nevada man’s questionable claim that tigers make great emotional support pets (hint: 7 might be a bit excessive!), to a small-town Missouri foster mom dabbling in a black-market monkey fiasco, the stories are as off-the-wall as they sound. And if that’s not enough to leave you howling, we also take a return dive into whether dire wolves are finally ready to bust out of ancient legend and stroll into our modern world. So, grab your seatbelts for a super-sized portion of strange—it’s Beautiful Blurry Hysteria, but with Kevin at the helm and no question left un-wowed!

    Blurry Hysteria: Bedroom Monsters & Pee Pee Pranks | 423

    This week on Blurry Hysteria, we ask the hard-hitting questions: Who’s afraid of the monster in the bedroom—and why does it look like a Conspiracy Bot? And more importantly, who’s peeing in your recycling bin? That’s right, we’re diving headfirst into the kind of stories that make you question reality and your home security system. First up, a Kansas babysitter hears strange noises while checking for monsters under the bed and instead finds a man literally hiding there. Talk about a plot twist no bedtime story ever prepared her for. Then, we head to Texas, where one man is being tormented by gallons—and we mean gallons—of mystery urine being dumped into his recycling bin. It’s a tale of high suspicion, low hygiene, and the kind of community "outreach" no one asked for. So grab your flashlight, maybe a gas mask, and get ready for another episode of weird news that’s so bizarre it could only be Blurry Hysteria.

    Blurry Hysteria: Gold Crappers, Orca Fashion, and EXTREME Hoarders | 422

    Just when you thought things couldn’t get any weirder—we’re back with a trio of tales that’ll have you questioning everything from homeownership to orca fashion trends. First, we revisit the case of missing solid gold crapper (spoiler: It's named America and it is FOUND). Then, the orcas are back on their bulls**t—reviving an old-school trend that involves wearing salmon carcasses as hats. That’s right: haute dead couture. And finally, a TikToker buys a hoarder house at auction and finds…yep, a decomposing body. But hey, at least the content went viral, right? So grab your ghost-salmon hat, avoid discount deep freezers, and tune in to the show that asks the tough questions—like what is happening with this planet?!

    Beautiful Blurry Hysteria: Tesla’s Wrecked, Toes Are Checked, and What the Shell is in Your Pants? | 420

    Buckle up, dear listeners, because this week’s Beautiful Blurry Hysteria is swerving into absolute chaos! First, we take a ride into the world of self-driving nightmares as a Tesla flunks its automatic driving test in the worst way possible—by crashing during a demonstration. Turns out, even AI gets stage fright. Then, we shift gears into something far more grotesque: a woman caught trying to sell human toes—yes, toes—on FACEBOOK! All while making some truly horrific claims about canine digestion. Just when you think it can’t get weirder, we slide into the final act: TSA agents at Newark Airport uncovering a turtle stuffed inside a traveler’s pants. Slow and steady does not win the race through security, my dude. Weird news? Check. Questionable life choices? Double check. Join us as we unravel the absurdity, ask all the wrong questions, and, as always, keep it blurry!
