One mysterious night in the early 20th century all pendulum clocks stopped at the exact same moment in Paris, France. At that same moment, 1000’s of Parisians experienced dizziness, nausea, and more. The strangest thing about the whole thing? The story didn’t appear in full until a 2019 episode of Top 10 Secrets and Mysteries (Netflix’s Ancient Aliens, but more non-E.T. stuff). Did something truly extraordinary happen that night in Paris, or does Netflix have an extraordinarily bad show on their hands? We go back in time this week to dig up the answer. Plus, we learn what soaps Conspiracy Bot is watching (what?), we learn Kyle speaks Spanish (what??), and we learn how you spend quarantine with 2 idiot robots (carefully). All of that and more on the podcast doesn’t always talk about missing time – but certainly wish we could skip a couple weeks of this quarantine – Hysteria 51.
