  • Science is weird, but this week, it’s downright prehistoric and miraculous. First up, researchers are bringing back a piece of the Ice Age by splicing woolly mammoth genes into live mice. What could possibly go wrong? We discuss the latest in de-extinction efforts, the ethical dilemmas, and whether these tiny, furry Frankensteins might be the first step toward full-blown Jurassic Park madness.

    Then, hold onto your reproductive health textbooks because the next story is one for the medical history books. A teenager managed to get pregnant without the traditional method—let’s just say it involved oral sex and some deeply unfortunate circumstances. We break down the insane details of this once-in-a-blue-moon medical mystery, the science behind how it could even happen, and why reality just keeps proving stranger than fiction. All that and more this week on a Blurry Hysteria edition of Hysteria 51!

  • Ever felt hangry? Like, really, really hangry? So hangry that you might just turn into a supernatural, flesh-craving monster? Well, you’re in luck because this week, we’re diving headfirst into the legend of the Wendigo—a creature that takes "snacking" to a terrifying new level.

    From its origins in Algonquian folklore to modern-day sightings (and possibly a Wendigo diet plan we can’t endorse), we’re breaking down what makes this beast so chilling. Is it a warning about greed and gluttony? A cautionary tale for winter survivalists? Or just an ancient way of saying, "Dude, don’t eat your friends"? We’ll cover all that and more, including some very questionable Wendigo-related crimes, and why you probably don’t want to go camping in Canada anytime soon. Al that and more this week on Hysteria 51!

  • This week on Blurry Hysteria, we welcome back our good friend Kevin Crispin from Behind Beautiful Things to help us navigate the latest in bizarre news. Ever wonder how long it takes to steal a solid gold toilet? (Spoiler: Less time than it takes to order a coffee.) Or what happens when a rogue prankster sends marathon runners on a wild detour? And if that’s not weird enough, we’ve got a story involving an inflatable girlfriend, a fire, and some very bad decision-making. Buckle up—this one’s as ridiculous as it gets!

    Join Brent, David, and Kevin as we break down the absurdity, ask the important questions (like who needs a gold toilet?), and try to make sense of the world’s weirdest headlines.

  • Before the X-Files, before Bigfoot reality shows, before your uncle went down a YouTube rabbit hole and now won’t shut up about lizard people—there was Charles Hoy Fort. A man who spent his life collecting the weirdest, wildest, and most WTF-worthy stories that science tried (and failed) to explain. From raining frogs to UFOs before they were even called UFOs, Fort cataloged it all and basically invented the field of Forteana—aka the study of all things bizarre,
    spooky, and questionably sane. AKA our bread and butter!

    But who was Fort? A misunderstood genius? A professional weirdo? The first-ever Reddit or 4 Chan mod? Join us as we dive into the life, work, and general badassery of the man who made the strange, well… stranger. Spoiler alert: he burned a lot of his own work: was it because even he couldn’t believe what he was writing? Or it was all true and the powers that be made him do it? That’s for you to decide...

    Buckle up, because this week we’re getting Fortean as hell on Hysteria 51.

  • It’s another Beautiful Blurry Hysteria as Kevin Crispin of Behind Beautiful Things joins us for a journey through the weirdest headlines the internet has to offer! First up, the European Union says yes to mealworm powder in food—because nothing says "sustainable future" like a little extra crunch in your croissant. Then, we dive into the tale of a man who lost millions in Bitcoin to a landfill and is still trying to dig his way to crypto redemption. Finally, we close with a real stinker—a woman sending fart jars to her boyfriend’s ex. Because, as they say, revenge is a dish best served… gassy? Buckle up for absurdity, laughter, and the kind of investigative journalism that only Blurry Hysteria can deliver.

  • Brace yourself for a whiff of the bizarre on this week’s Beautiful Blurry Hysteria! Guest Kevin Crispin of the Behind Beautiful Things Podcast joins Brent & David to sort through a trifecta of surreal news. First, we take a fragrant detour to Brooklyn, where the famously foul-smelling corpse flower is drawing both fans and flies. Then we venture Down Under, investigating rumors of a Queensland teacher who’s been acting downright catty—literally! And because life just isn’t weird enough, we also dig into a beach-balling mystery: why did lumps of “something special” wash ashore in Australia? Prepare for a ride through the strangest stories on the planet!

  • A cold, barren rock in the North Atlantic—isolated, windswept, and lifeless. Perhaps it was
    never meant for human presence. Perhaps the superstitions whispered through generations, warnings of curses and otherworldly forces, weren’t just ghost stories to ignore. Three men vanished without a trace from the Eilean Mor Lighthouse in 1900, leaving behind only eerie questions and a lighthouse that stood empty, as if even it knew something was wrong. Was it foul weather? Madness? Or something far stranger hiding in the thick fog that surrounds the
    Flannan Isles?

    Despite decades of investigation, every theory—no matter how grounded or bizarre—seems to end where it begins: with a mystery as haunting as the waves that crash against its lonely shores. Today on Hysteria 51, we dig into the story of Eilean Mor, the theories, the legends, and the strange clues left behind. Will we find answers, or just more shadows in the mist and bad jokes by a sadistic robot? Let’s find out...

  • What do you get when you cross a wannabe-Neo trying to dodge bullets in Utah with a Russian court that seems to think Google has more money than the entire planet combined? Pure, unadulterated Blurry Hysteria, that’s what!
    This week we unpack the bizarre saga of a man caught on camera attempting some next-level Matrix moves—spoiler alert: real life doesn’t come with slow-motion bullet time. Then, we jet over to Mother Russia, where a court has slapped Google with a penalty so colossal you’d need a calculator that can handle a galaxy’s worth of zeros. Buckle up and brace for weird as we deliver double the strange, double the fun, and 100% more hysteria than you can shake a bulletproof vest at!

  • Prepare for a double dose of techno-weirdness as Blurry Hysteria dives into the world of artificial intelligence! First, we glow up with the story of an AI-invented molecule that nature would’ve needed half a billion years to cook up. Is AI outpacing evolution? Then, things get dark (and oddly philosophical) as scientists propose testing AI sentience by making it suffer. Yes, that’s right—pain for progress! Join the crew as they decode the wild and wacky intersection of science and sci-fi in this illuminating and borderline sadistic episode.

  • This week on Blurry Hysteria, we're hitting you with a double dose of bizarre! First up, someone decided CAPTCHA wasn't annoying enough and created one where you play Doom on Nightmare difficulty. Can you rip and tear your way to proving you're not a robot? Spoiler: most of us are doomed.
    Then, we head to Houston, where the police evidence lockers have been infiltrated—not by master thieves, but by junkie rats with a taste for confiscated drugs. Who’s the kingpin of the rodent cartel, and do they have a tiny, whiskered Walter White? All that and more this week on Blurry Hysteria!

First, we head to the stomach-turning world of fertility rituals gone very wrong—complete with a live baby bird found in a dead man’s belly... or maybe throat. (Yeah, you read that right.)

    Then, it’s a two-part yuletide warning: Ever considered nibbling on your Christmas tree? Belgium says, "DON’T!" Sweden on the other hand says otherwise. We unravel the science behind toxic Christmas tree needles and why your festive feast shouldn’t involve the fir, or maybe it should...

  • Did you know America once eyed hippos as a solution to its problems? This week on Hysteria 51 we dive into the bizarre yet true tale of how early 20th-century Louisiana faced a water hyacinth invasion and a looming food shortage—and how importing hippos, lovingly dubbed “lake cows,” was proposed as the answer. Join us as we explore the strange saga of "Lake Cow Bacon," the politicians and eccentric dreamers behind the plan, and why this idea almost became reality. Grab a plate of hypothetical hippo bacon, and let’s get weird with history!

  • This week, we’re serving up a smorgasbord of strange! First, we sink our teeth into the tale of a woman who took "jawbreaker" a little too literally—because candy shouldn’t come with a side of dental disaster.

  • Zero Point Energy refers to the quantum mechanical contribution to the total kinetic energy of atoms and molecules that remains even at absolute zero temperature. What that means is the universe is filled with energy, so much that the energy in an empty teacup could boil all the oceans on out planet. But how do we access it? That is the big questions. And the other big question is have some inventors cracked the code, and been silenced for their efforts? This week we break down free energy, why the powers that be want it stopped at all costs, and what happens when people not in the elite club of power break the cardinal rule of trying to help out humanity. We cover that and much more this week, like how is Conspiracy Bot involved in all of this, on Hysteria 51.
