  • Ep.050 — Just a Bunch of Meat, All Night Long (Ft. Mr. Zapper)

    We've been taken over. This week, our questions come not from the mouths of listeners, but from the MOUTH of LISTENER. Just one. His name is Joe Holme, and he hosted and provided the entire show this week. Being a person that loves to ask thought-provoking questions, Joe volunteered to host this week, and I'm sure you'll love the results. I know we did. Topics include: Queen Elizabeth's Private Moments, Russian Ribbon Rhythms, Zapper's Expressions, 12 Angry Muppets, Mike's amazing lifting technique, Mike's love for time loops, leftoverfood, spiderbeards, and mysterious fans. ***

  • Microtheticast.039 — No Bandages Attached (There's Thumbthin' Happenin' Here)

    As we established last week, dinner parties can be ANYTHING. So, this week, we're breaking now ground. We're boldly going where no party planner has gone before. We're creating randomly-generated dinner party ideas in our Collaboratory, and then talking about how they'd go down. It rules. You rule. You do, truly. You do.

    Topics include: whether or not Rumplestiltskin and Lucille Ball would hit it off, interesting ways of being killed by food, Mike's Secret Knife Weakness, N*SYNC's new music video, and beefcakes.

  • Ep.049 — It's Not Pizza, It's Cauliflower

    Dinner parties! What a lovely thing. We've all had them, or been to them, in some form or another. Whether it's just for Fancy Times or for Thanksgiving, they're a great way to get a bunch of people together for games, merriment, and gettin' down on some juicy food. 

    Do you have questions? Maybe questions like "but friends, what's the ultimate dinner party look like?" Or maybe "hey, is it worse to clog a toilet or say something super rude?" These are good questions, and we answer them this week on the Hypotheticast. We're here for you.

    Dinner Party Discussion Topics Include: being done with podcasts, having dinner delivered on tiny toy trains for children, King Arthur's Sick Parties, murders and mysteries, Glensheen Mansion, and, of course, Dame Judi Dench. ***

  • Microtheticast.038 — A Big Scoop of Gritty Jello

    There are two sides to every coin. Well, sometimes three, or four, or five, or even six. Hold on. I'm being told that those are called "dice," and not "weird bouncy coins." Well, cancel the show. 

    This week, we're playing The Good, the Bad, and the Answer, a game about pros and cons. We find out what inedible item Mike might want to eat, which animal Emily would like to Animorph into, and why David wants to carry poison with him everywhere he goes. Other topics include: saving your sibling when Honey Shrinks the Kids, becoming an investing expert and buying your own haunted island, becoming a frog-man, and whether or not having a golden chocolate fountain is a cool idea.

  • Ep.048 — Nothing Good Cries Like a Human Baby

    You know what they say: every Hallow gets its Ween. And today is no exception.

    It's Halloween. For real. It's finally here. And with it, right on the DAY, comes a very special Halloween-themed Hypotheticast. Just play this one while you're sitting at your door, handing out candy, and if we say a swear word just yell "yeah this is really good candy" super loud and you'll be fine, don't worry.

    Topics include: a nice walk through a graveyard, The Black Crow Knows, the length of fish eyeballs, Emily the Candy Goblin, what Oscar the Grouch's feet look like for real, and the cultural world of Halloween music.

  • Ep.046 — Ladies + Zombies = Heart

    You made it. All the way. October is here, and we're here with a FULL MONTH of the spookiest content imaginable.  We decided to kick it off with a bunch of games, questions, and thoughts about Horror Movies! Which, honestly, is a great idea. Thanks for saying so. Topics include: figuring out which movie scared Little David real bad, I'm Going Bludge, "helping," James Franco in 37 Hours, which of us are scared of The Ghost Whisperer, Richard Linklater, basements, white eyes, equations, purple hair, and smoochin' ghosts.
