What job should Santa actually have? 49:42

Play Pause

5h ago49:42

49:42

Santa Claus is looking for work. That's right, we've finally noticed that Jolly Old Saint Nick is only working 1 day a year, so we're going to find him some extra employment! Jamie wants him to put on a show, Eddie thinks he'd make a good Mr Beast competitor, and Bear (for reasons we still don't understand) is sending children to Mars. All the whil…

How would you improve the Death Star? 41:04

1M ago41:04

41:04

After 2 Death Stars you'd think they'd give up. But we're back for a third, baby! Can our 3 "experts" figure out how to make Death Star 3 not bad this time? Eddie created Palpatine's Party Planet, Paul rolls the Death Star downhill through hyperspace, and Alex puts the War Star back in Star Wars. We consider the typical capitalist crap you'd expect…

How would you utilise the Mystery Gang and their dumb dog (Scooby-Doo)? 56:37

2M ago56:37

56:37

Solving mysteries ain't gonna pay the bills forever. At least that's what Fred keeps telling me, so we better find something else to do with The Mystery Gang (and their dumb dog). Alex turns The Gang into gamers, Jamie misses an opportunity to patent Cotton Candy Dogs, and Eddie turns Scooby-Doo into the most corrupt judge ever seen. Meanwhile Judg…

What would you do with the Matrix? 43:42

3M ago43:42

43:42

The 1999 classic The Matrix seemed like a pretty good idea but they really fumbled it at the end. This leads to the obvious question: if you could do whatever you wanted with The Matrix, what would you do? Jamie makes a killing, Eddie simulates a simulation, and Alex goes full Mr Beast, as Judge Paul watches all that he knows and loves dissolve int…

What would your comic book villain gimmick be? 48:11

4M ago48:11

48:11

Ah yes, the weird, wacky, and wonderful world of comic books, equally captivating and crazy - especially when it comes to the characters. We all know a good superhero when we see one, but what about a compelling villain? Paul fuses with some plastic bath toys, Alex utilises the power of avocado toast, and Eddie commits the slowest crime of all. Mea…

Who would host a better party than Mario? 48:08

6M ago48:08

48:08

Mario is always hosting parties but the food is always cold and the dice always roll 1s. So we think it's about time someone else hosted a party - the only question is, who? Eddie collects balls, Jamie finally snaps, and Alex definitely isn't talking about Kingdom Hearts again, all whilst Judge Paul can't wait for the party to end. We're making wis…

1
Which animal would be the best at fighting crime? 50:28

6M ago50:28

50:28

History is full of crime-fighting animals! Scooby-Doo, Skippy the Bush Kangaroo, and Detective Chimp to name but a few. But this begs the obvious question, which animal would be the best at stopping crims in the real world? Eddie takes the prompt literally, Jamie will be the one asking the questions, and Bear is just pretty sure Eddie's answers are…

1
What job should Peter Parker actually have? 51:20

7M ago51:20

51:20

Our good friend Peter Parker (who may or may not be Spiderman) needs a new job. Between his stressful boss, being underpaid by his boss, and his boss trying to replace him with AI, being J Jonah Jameson's photographer at the Daily Bugle just isn't cutting it. So what job should Peter Parker (or maybe Spiderman) do instead? Eddie thinks Mr Parker sh…

Ask Stupid Questions - QUIZ! 47:41

9M ago47:41

47:41

To celebrate our 50th anniversary (ie. episode) Eddie has thrown together a special quiz for everyone! And by "special" he means ridiculous, impossible, and above all, stupid. Filled with callbacks, running jokes, and references to a few things which are a little too real; consider this episode a helpful refresher for listeners new and old. Whether…

Welcome to Win Stupid Prizes! 1:00

9M ago1:00

1:00

Welcome to Win Stupid Prizes, the comedy/pop-culture podcast where we ask the questions that nobody thought were worth asking and win some... unique prizes along the way! If you've ever wondered which D&D class would MIN-MAX your life, or how 4 regular humans could stop Thanos, or even how would you bust ghosts; then this is the podcast for you! Mo…

How would you survive in Minecraft? 47:24

9M ago47:24

47:24

Jack Black is back with a brand new track to take his lumberjack stack back to his shack. To celebrate the release of the Minecraft Movie, we consider how we could actually survive in the most popular video game of all time (at time of release), but without the Warner Bros financial backing! Jamie tries to use the game against itself, Eddie tries t…

What changes would you make to The Weather in the next balance patch? 46:24

10M ago46:24

46:24

In our quest to fix everything, this year we try our hand at the weather. You know, that thing that's always kinda gloomy in the UK? Yeah! We're doing a balance patch for that! Eddie wants more choice, Jamie wants the weather to feel more unique, and Alex wants it to be far more regimented. Meanwhile, Judge Paul will do whatever it takes to maintai…

1
How would you use Wallace's inventions? 47:06

11M ago47:06

47:06

Crikey, Gromit! The budget isn't looking too grand - we'll have to sell some of my inventions to pay off our debts. At least these kind lads in marketing have some bright ideas about how to make a quick quid! That's right, today we're going full Capitalism and trying to use some of Wallace's cracking contraptions to turn a profit. Jamie thinks big,…

1
What would you do Before Christmas? (à la The Nightmare Before Christmas?) 53:43

1y ago53:43

53:43

Halloween did such a good job that we're wondering what other franchises would do a good Christmas? In this year's Holiday Special, we consider the implications of different organisations giving jolly old Saint Nick a year off. Jamie fulfils some childhood fantasies, Alex does an Eddie, and Eddie doesn't know when his answers are. But between us, w…

1
How would you stop Sonic the Hedgehog? 47:34

1y ago47:34

47:34

The Blue Blur is at it again! Only this time we plan to do the one thing than Dr Eggman couldn't and stop Sonic the Hedgehog. Can three Knuckles-heads succeed where the mad scientist formerly known as Ivo Kintobor hasn't? Jamie pulls in other characters, Alex utilises traps both physical and mental, and Eddie plans to beat the Sonic Universe at its…

1
How would you Bust Ghosts? 53:10

1y ago53:10

53:10

The Ghostbusters are MIA again! Instead of outsourcing the job again, this time we're taking the Thanos approach and doing it ourselves. Eddie does what he always does, Alex makes use of accessories, and Jamie takes the emotional path, all whilst Bear judges their ethereal experiments. We ask the philosophical questions like; are ghosts Pokémon? An…

1
What is the best Magic: The Gathering spell to have in real life? 40:31

1+ y ago40:31

40:31

There are over 27,000 Magic: The Gathering spells in the game, and we have to whittle it down to just one. So we better make it a good one (or not, as the case may be). Alex wants to improve their life, Bear wants to prank his friends, and Eddie just wants his fridge moved. Meanwhile, Jamie plays judge (both on the podcast and in the game) and vigi…

1
Which is the best fictional house? 47:59

1+ y ago47:59

47:59

Did you ever try to buy a house? It's really difficult, they all make too much sense! But in the world of fiction anything is possible... Pwal suggests some interesting room mates, Alex includes a lot of moving parts, and Jamie breaks the laws of physics as they each play the estate agents pitching to start Eddie's property portfolio. We discover t…

We’re making a pirate crew! Who do we bring? 41:06

1+ y ago41:06

41:06

YARRR YOU SCURVY DOGS! We're assembling the finest seafaring crew the seven seas have ever seen! Just one problem, we don't know who to hire. Ed, Bear, and Pwal bash their collective heads together to fill in the most important roles on a pirate ship, and desperately try and avoid a mutiny (or several) as they do so. We pitch several Captains (not …

1
Could we take down Jaws? 36:34

1+ y ago36:34

36:34

So we just get rid of one shark? AND there's a cash reward? Count us in! It's the height of summer and tourist season is in full swing in Amity Island, but our old pal Bruce is up to his usual nonsense again. And by usual nonsense we mean eating people. So we've undercut the competition and we're out to stop him! Using John Williams queues, kaiju, …

Which villain would you add to Doctor Who? 37:40

1+ y ago37:40

37:40

There's a brand new show coming out on the BBC! After 60 years they're launching Season One of Doctor Who, and however you count it, it's the perfect time to add some new enemies for the titular Doctor to face. From classic Batman villains to Rowan Atkinsons finest role, from "whodunnit?" to "WAAAAGH!", we cover all manner of evil entities in this …

What's next for Pokémon? 58:18

1+ y ago58:18

58:18

With gaming sensation Palworld (AKA. Pokémon With Guns) sweeping the world of catchable critters, we simply need to know: What is the next big thing for Pokémon? We explore options including sports, town planning, educational games, biological nonsense, just straight up copying Overcooked, and (of course) Capitalism. Eddie cashes in his PokéPoints,…

Could we survive The Return of the King? 51:25

2y ago51:25

51:25

PART 1: https://www.hexagorgon.com/podcast/wsp-033/PART 2: https://www.hexagorgon.com/podcast/wsp-035/ The Siege of Gondor is nigh, Sauron's forces are amassing, the King is nowhere to be found, and the forces of good have entrusted their battle plans to three people who are more interested in the battle minis than the actual battle. Meanwhile, thr…

What changes would you make to humans in the next balance patch? 54:41

2y ago54:41

54:41

Heads up, we talk a lot about how bodies work in this episode. What is a (hu)man? A miserable pile of tubes. Whether you want more tubes, fewer tubes, or to ignore the tubes completely, you have to agree that humans have room for improvement. Eddie just wants more options, Bear wants to be a gun for some reason, and Jamie won't shut up about the we…

Could we survive The Two Towers? 54:46

2y ago54:46

54:46

PART 1: https://www.hexagorgon.com/podcast/wsp-033/ In a world where three idiots were trusted with a ring of ultimate power, their three non-idiot friends try and rectify their mistakes with absolutely no control over the idiots actions. AJ rides a horse, Jamie champions mental health, and Bear admits his limits as they skirt around the fact that …

1
How would you do a better job than The Grinch? 1:06:06

2y ago1:06:06

1:06:06

We all know how The Grinch FAILED to steal Christmas, so the bar is pretty low on this one. But that won't stop us from committing atrocities in attempts we can only describe as "not as good as we thought". Eddie runs for mayor of Whoville, Alex tries to forget, and Bear goes killing again, whilst Jamie decides if we really should be on the Nice Li…

1
Could we survive The Fellowship of the Ring? 45:23

2y ago45:23

45:23

Once upon a time, our grandfather/uncle/cousin gifted his three niblings a ring of immense power. Us three cousin/brothers then promptly required rescuing... a lot. The fate of Middle-earth has never been in more incompetent hands! In this episode Alex uses a rock, Eddie gets stabbed, and Paul goes to the pub! As we seriously throw into question wh…

Which monster would it be best to be? 58:17

2y ago58:17

58:17

The night where every child turns into a monster for a few hours is nearly upon us! So I guess we better blend in by becoming a monster of our own. Which begs the question, which monster would it be best to be in real life? AJ has high aspirations, Bear wants to maximise the comedy, and Pwal just wants rid of those pesky emotions, whilst Eddie is c…

1
Which fictional character would win Bake Off? 53:24

2+ y ago53:24

53:24

It's the Hollywood / Hollywood crossover we never knew we needed! Paul and the gang need contestants for the next season of The Great British Bake Off, but we don't know how to bake! So we'll have to submit some friends in our stead. Alex's contestants are easily distracted, Eddie tries to cheat his way to victory, and Jamie helps the other competi…

1
Which vehicle is best for the daily commute? 57:53

2+ y ago57:53

57:53

Everybody knows that the worst part of any job is the commute, but due to the premise of the question we do need to do the commute. Thankfully we've got a handful of vehicle-like suggestions to make the commute as least bad as possible! Alex makes our answers redundant, Jamie makes the question redundant, and Bear gets made redundant, while judge E…

1
How would you stop Palpatine and the rise of the Dark Side? 49:45

2+ y ago49:45

49:45

It's been (at least) 9 films, and still we can't get rid of that loveable goofball Sheev Palpatine. Wait, he's not actually loveable, nor a goofball? He's actually a proprietor of the Dark Side and a threat to universal peace? Huh, I guess we should stop him then! Pwal tries to influence the story, Eddie brute forces the issue, and Alex decides the…

1
What is the best future? 54:18

2+ y ago54:18

54:18

There are a lot of dystopian hellscapes in the future, but we aren't here to hear why the future sucks, we want to know which future sucks the least! We wander through fiction and try to explain why the bad futures are good, why the good futures are bad, and ask what even counts as the future anyway? Eddie somehow worms his way into the judges seat…

1
What Spider-Man would you add to the Spider-Verse? 1:01:55

2+ y ago1:01:55

1:01:55

It's almost time to head Across The Spider-Verse and see what Spiders the Verse has to offer us, but before then we speculate on the Spider-Mans they should really have added to the movie. Jamie wants to mix up the formula, Bear wants to mix up the lexicon, and Eddie wants to do a remix, all the while judge Pwal just wants to avoid getting mixed up…

1
What job should Superman actually have? 57:32

2+ y ago57:32

57:32

With the death of print media, our boy Kal-El is back in the job market. With a CV like Clark's, surely there's a better job for old Supes than whatever passes for a journalist these days? Eddie deliberately ignores the question, Jamie utilises Superman's strengths, and Alex shoots for the moon, whilst Bear reveals some shocking secrets about his g…

How would you save Princess Peach? 42:37

3y ago42:37

42:37

With the inevitable success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie just around the corner, there's never been a better time to yoink Mario out of existence and be forced to save Peach ourselves! But without the titula-me, Mario, around is saving a princess even possible? With Eddie in the judge's seat, Pwal brings his aptitude for violence to the table, wh…

1
What changes would you make to Driving in the next balance patch? 57:38

3y ago57:38

57:38

We did such a good job with our Football balance patch last year that we decided to have another crack at it but with Driving this time. Should cars be tubes? How about spheres? Should it be easier to gain points? Or perhaps driving backwards should make you exempt from the law? Bear wants to take a technical approach to improving the game design, …

A Win Stupid Prizes Retrospective 39:00

3y ago39:00

39:00

Due to scheduling conflicts, Eddie and Alex were left to record an episode by themselves. Rather than solving one of the least asked for questions on the internet, they got distracted and ended up talking about the podcast of Win Stupid Prizes rather than actually trying to win a stupid prize. Join us for this behind-the-scenes look at the effort t…

How would you stop Santa Claus? 53:16

3y ago53:16

53:16

Last year we tried to do a better job than Santa, but that didn't work, so this year we're just outright stopping him. Can three mortal beings stop the seemingly omnipotent being that is Santa, or will he once again prove too much for us? And more importantly, will this mean we're all getting coal this Christmas? AJ knows exactly what risks to take…

Which actor would have the most confusing life if their films were real? 1:03:24

3y ago1:03:24

1:03:24

Actors are a wild bunch, but wouldn't it be even wilder if they weren't actors? If every film an actor has been in was completely factually accurate, which actor would have led the craziest life? Alex forgets what question they asked, Jamie sticks to his theme, Eddie doesn't understand friendship, and Bear gets married, as we all explore the Edward…

Which Hallowe'en villain could you defeat? 58:37

Which DnD class would MIN-MAX your life? 47:07

3+ y ago47:07

47:07

One DnD is upon us! Which means we only get to pick one class, so we better pick a good one. Eddie, Alex, and Jamie ignore both Dungeons and Dragons as Bear questions how their chosen class would actually be useful in the real world. Eddie wants to be the most evil Lawful Good character you've ever seen, Alex wants to improve their lowest skills, a…

Which fairy-tale could you win? 46:20

3+ y ago46:20

46:20

Have you ever been cursed by a witch and told you have to fight a poisoned goose or something in order to escape the curse? Well that definitely hasn't happened to us! That'd be ridiculous... haha... In this surprisingly animal-orientated episode, Alex, Bear, and Jamie try to save Eddie from a terrible fate. Will any of them succeed, or are fairy-t…

Which franchise should be added to Kingdom Hearts? 1:00:18

As Disney gradually absorb more and more media franchises, the real question is which of these won't eventually be in a Kingdom Hearts game? Our resident Kingdom Hearts expert, Alex, navigates the Realms as Eddie, Jamie, and Pwal try to come up with anything more ridiculous than the worlds Kingdom Hearts already has to offer. Website: www.hexagorgo…

Which movie would be most improved by a single F-bomb? 47:33

3+ y ago47:33

47:33

Swearing, we all do it! Apart from a few movies doing their best to maintain a squeaky-clean rating, that is. But what if those polite films were made just a little ruder, and given the PG13 rating to match? As Jamie attempts to win an argument with a friend, Eddie, AJ, and Alex get their effing and blinding on in what is our crassest episode to da…

Which team would help you survive a zombie apocalypse? 1:00:42

3+ y ago1:00:42

AJ is terrified of the impending zombie apocalypse and desperately needs a survival plan. Thankfully, Alex, Eddie, and Pwal are on hand to suggest a slew of qualified teams which might help your average nerd survive such an event. As AJ cowers in the corner, will Pwal's close-knit core, Alex's proven survivors, or Eddie's plucky teens prove the mos…

Which fictional character should be the next James Bond? 53:11

3+ y ago53:11

53:11

It is finally Time to Die for Daniel Craig's James Bond, and who better to decide who should replace him than the nerds at Hexagorgon? Alex conducts the auditions whilst Jamie gets methodic, Eddie goes robotic, and Bear feels erotic as their pitches shoot, spy, sneak, speak, and shoot their way through various Bond tropes. Website: www.hexagorgon.c…

Which fictional family would you choose to be a part of? 46:51

4y ago46:51

46:51

We're often told that you can choose your friends but not your family, but in the world of fiction anything is possible! Eddie deals with the paperwork whilst Bear faces his fear of mushrooms, Pwal dodges an existential crisis, and Alex chooses how many legs they want, as they all vie to come up with the best family to be a part of. Website: www.he…

Which movie protagonist would YOU replace? 1:00:18

4y ago1:00:18

1:00:18

We've all imagined ourselves as the main character of a movie from time to time. So, when Movie Master Bear gave AJ, Alex, and Eddie the chance to swap themselves into their favourite movies, they did not hold back. Alex writes fan fiction, AJ gets a physical description, and Eddie gets in a fight, whilst Bear finally reveals the one movie he hasn'…

The Beautiful Game is about to get a whole lot more beautiful with its next balance patch! But what changes could possibly be made to Football?

How would you do a better job than Santa Claus? 1:10:15

1:10:15

Santa's monopoly on Christmas has gone too far. Fortunately he's being a good sport about it, and has allowed AJ to provide some competition this year. With only one item, one character, and one army of minions to help them, can Bear, Eddie, and Jamie come up with a plan to deliver presents to every house in the world in one night? Website: www.hex…
