Hysteria 514 Jan 2021

Clowns | 217

We get funny like a clown this week as we take a look at...well...clowns. Where did these much maligned children’s characters come from? Why do we find them so frightening? Did anyone ever win the Grand Prize Game? Well, for the relevant and interesting stuff we have some help as author and journalist Linda Rodriguez McRobbie joins the fellas to break down why we all float down here. Plus, Conspiracy Bot starts work on a clown robot (scary), Brent discloses his unhealthy obsession with grease paint (scarier), and only a couple ICP references are made all episode (are the guys feeling ok?). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t always cover clowns, but when we do Conspiracy Bot seems extra excited - Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week’s research sources: Research Assistant - Raymond Walden IVVideosWrinkles The Clown - Official Trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSOt0Ks97_ECreepy clowns in 30-second 'stare off' with Wisconsin police - https://youtu.be/9DtMbQtOtvECreepy Clown Craze Raising Concerns - https://youtu.be/gWT5h2Nj_isWebsitesBrtiannica - https://www.britannica.com/story/why-are-people-afraid-of-clownsClownopedia - https://clownopedia.fandom.com/wiki/John_Wayne_GacyClowns Without Borders - https://clownswithoutborders.org/2016 Clown Sightings - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_clown_sightingsSmithsonian Mag - https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/the-history-and-psychology-of-clowns-being-scary-20394516/Psychology Today - https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/in-excess/201909/why-are-clowns-so-scaryThe Daily Beast - https://www.thedailybeast.com/wrinkles-the-clown-the-real-life-clown-scarier-than-joker-that-terrorized-americas-kids?ref=scrollClowns Wiki - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clown#:~:text=The%20harlequinade%20developed%20in%20England,jester%20than%20a%20comical%20idiot.
