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.
Listen now before your tabby opens a sommelier TikTok and your ancestry results list “Alpha Centauri.”
