    What if everyone just forgot what happened yesterday, every day. We endeavor to be as good as Memento but definitely better than 50 first dates.

  • Episode 12: Saul Goodboy Attorney At Law

    Hosts: Rob & Mike


    On this episode we ask what if PETA got their way (mostly with America). The audio is a bit quiet for our new host so you may need to boost the audio a little. I was using a temporary computer and didn't quite get the levels right. Next episode should be back to normal.

  • Episode 11: The Happy Meals For Foreign Assets

    Hosts: Rob & Matt

  • Episode 10: This HVAC Is Rated For 8 Kiloghosts

    Hosts: Rob & Ish


    What would happen if every person ever was a ghost? There have been theoretically 100 billion people who've ever lived, so that's just under a dozen ghosts per person. What could ghosts do? Could you hire them on fiver?


    Anyway, moon's haunted.

  • Episode 9: They've Deployed Skrillex Against The Invading Army

    Rob & Matt


    People enjoy music, people enjoy alcohol, what if we Reese's peanut buttered those two things? You don't realize how freely available music is until you try to figure out how people would deal with it making you drunk. We are working towards a bigger guest list but missed the mark this time, maybe some day.


    Here's a movie that is out that seems interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Fiction_(film)


    We may have brought up Shatner as possibly being music but also maybe not: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0hTtsqiFCc


    And it turns out the movie Footloose may have had a point in this alternate universe

  • Episode 8: Santa Airlines 001 Grounded For Exceeding Duty Limits

    Hosts: Rob & Matt


    In this episode we ask what if Santa had to abide by FAA regulations. How safe is a single man driving wooden sleigh through busy ATC airspace? Who would win: Jolly old Saint Nick or a C130 Hercules?

  • Episode 5: This Bread Has Planned Obsolescence

    Hosts: Rob & Matt


    Today's episode asks the very important question of what would happen if food never went bad. What would capitalism do, what would culture do? Have we already broken entropy with candy corn, twinkies, and circus peanuts? And most importantly, should this show have an email? Well, I guess that last one will happen. Stay tuned for this and other things in the future. *waves hands*
