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.

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.

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.

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).

Adriano and Andy lose some their most basic abilities, topple babies and catch tiny buses, and fail to jettison any useless body parts. Also: rationing your emotions, there's an app for that.

Andy and Adriano fail to cultivate bananas in a robotic future, crown cartoon monarchs, and take a village to train the worst possible leader. Join them as they feast on fascinating, fresh and occasionally fake new words, and finally take their revenge on a cruel world.

Andy and Adriano plot to tattoo people full of plants and consensually conjoin sets of neo-twins. Meanwhile most if not all things turn green, and we realise that really the only way to go is catapults.

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. In fact, you could say literally nothing discussed is of any contemporary relevance whatsoever. Think of this as a blurred snapshot of a naive and hopeful past - the kind of photo you scrutinise blearily the morning after and wonder, through your pounding headache, how your smile ever looked so sincere.
