PODCAST

The Hyper Theticals Podcast

Adriano Howlett & Andrew Massey

Speculating (wildly), entertaining (mildly). Two chaps of purported culture and wit pose each other hypothetical questions, and take you on a tour of the more peculiar corners of the imagination. There are no stupid questions, but there are some very silly answers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S2E3 - Asteroid Hugs

The Hyper Theticals Podcast ·

2020/05/22

Do giant space rocks mean us harm, or just want to be friends? Perhaps they're only dangerous to reptiles of unusual size. Find out on this episode, and more importantly discover the many ways in which those ancient lizards, while large and awesome, proved themselves terribly under-prepared.Then, dare to dream - but in a limited fashion. If we started society again but limited ourselves to a single human template, what would happen? Is anyone truly ready to be the sole representative of their

S2E2 - Clifford the Big Red Whale

2020/05/17

There is a pronounced tendency for evolution to try to make crabs. That's not a joke, there's literally a scientific term for it: carcinisation. If that doesn't tickle your pincers, then I don't know what will. The conundrum that bedevils us this week features good ol' humanity though - what if we'd taken the aquatic turn on the genetic highway, instead of mucking around in trees and such? Gather around the volcanic vent and grab a kelpmallow to roast, as we unfold a fishy yarn or two. Deep dive

S2E1 - Rick Astley, Galaxy Trotter

2020/05/10

Season 2, ladies and gentlemen! We've returned from our long hiatus with renewed vigour, and we're not about to put up with any lazy, lethargic theticals around here. It's time to hype up or go home! This episode, Andy and Adriano consider what artefacts of our society will eventually confuse the heck out of future historians and archaeologists. We advocate lodging hermit crabs in human skulls and turning political prisoners into benches, before moving on to an even more pressing question: how do we

S1E12 - Air B'n'Bench

The Hyper Theticals Podcast ·

2020/05/03

We kick things off with another rousing round of Hyper-fake-icals (better segment name still pending). It turns out a 'spendthrift' spends wastefully and to 'suppurate' means to discharge pus - who said learning can't be fun? Not nearly as fun as generating convincing falsehoods, but that goes without saying. Once the salmon are done singing some psalm songs, we turn our prodigious enthusiasm to revolutionising hotels. Picture stacks of drugged guests in water-soluble clothes, nudists being fried by

011 - The Million Hound Drop

The Hyper Theticals Podcast ·

2020/04/25

This week we enlist animals to deliver exfoliating treatments, discover that beauty is in the belly of the leech, and draw faces on your teeth to anger shrimp. Having invented what might possibly be the exact opposite of beekeeping, we relax by trying to figure out which game show ideas could possibly be more unreal than some of the stuff that's already aired in Japan.

010 - Underwater Slip 'n' Slide

The Hyper Theticals Podcast ·

2020/04/04

Brought to you from the HT vault, recorded in a simpler time.Andy and Adriano explore what might happen if nobody could stay indoors at all. We struggle to conduct meetings in fields, invent zorbing theatre, and funnel Londoners down a lubricated tube. Andy makes what may well be the car pun of the century. Having disintegrated the plane for your comfort and convenience, we land in the downy softness of forgetting literally everything every six months.Music by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed

009 - Roller Coaster Thai-Food

The Hyper Theticals Podcast ·

2018/10/29

As an entrée, Adriano and Andy oxymoronically and unequivocally determine the next big hipster trend. Once your appetite is duly whetted, or whatever, buckle in for the main course. Expect dizzying heights, crushing lows, and a whole heap o' nausea as we explore that fascinating fusion of feast and frolic: fairground rides designed to provide nourishment (forcibly if necessary).

2018/06/15

004 - CSI Love You

The Hyper Theticals Podcast ·

2018/04/02

In this distinctly un-topical episode of the Hypertheticals podcast, Adriano and Andy mine childhood fiction for presidential candidates to usurp the current crop, inadvertently discover the secret to a crime-based utopia, discuss sequels and prequels that should remain firmly on the cutting room floor, and embark on an unneccesary dissection of Hollywood's favourite Oscar-chaser's filmography.Things may have changed a little in this cursed world since this episode was recorded a year or two ago.
