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 bad. Meanwhile Alex has doubts that this question was worth asking in the first place. We explore mythological lawyers, bomb defusers, aggressive arr...

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 should stick to what he's good at, Alex reckons Peter is missing a trick, and Jamie believes Spiderman should take on even more responsibility. Meanwhil...

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 you want a whistle-stop tour of everying Win Stupid Prizes to date, or you just want to reminisce the old days, this episode was created for you. Yep...

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!

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 to exploit some loopholes, and Paul is confused about how he even got here in the first place. Meanwhile, Alex Judges from the rare position of having ...

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 maintain his position in government, including blame whichever idea he picks as the winner for all his personal failings. So put your hazmat suits on in case...

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, Eddie gets the wrong idea, and Paul goes absolutely ballistic, all whilst Alex dangles a contract over their heads and tells them to jump. In honour ...

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, we (might) come up with a Christmas you'll be jealous isn't happening every year! We suggest a smorgasbord of Santas, pitch a plethora of presents, and...

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 own game. We consider unimportant topics such as: Is Sonic faster than The Flash? Can Sonic survive a punch? And what is the best foodstuff to model ...

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? And, can you incorporate the incorporeal? But ultimately, as always, everything comes down to balls. Other content: Twitch: hexagorgo...

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 vigilantly watches for rules violations. We learn something about magic in real life, spend a lot of time simply stopping each other, and discover the rea...

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 that room mates are often a dealbreaker - no matter how nice the house - and have to consider the viability of the podcast in each location. Will any o...

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 necessarily for the role of Captain), a handful of monsters, and more than one cartoon crab. The only thing we can say for certain is nobody's ever tr...

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, blood transfusions, a big kebab, and potentially Ed's fists; Bear, Pwal, and Eddie set about earning their easiest paycheck ever. Or so we thought at ...

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 episode; but there's only space for one Dr Who nemesis... Jamie pitches marvellous murder mystery bottle episodes, Eddie plans series long established...

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, Bear catches the longest Pikachu, and we let Alex cook, whilst Jamie questions why he gave his rarest Pokémon to a bunch of 10 year olds. Other conte...

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, three idiots, I mean, hobbits have a merry trek up a mountain and open a shop with absolutely no consequences! The only thing left for it is a climactic...

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 weenus. Meanwhile, Alex shuts down every half-baked idea that comes out of the other three's mouths - and believe me, there are a lot of them. Other con...

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 Gandalf can basically do everything for them. Alex, Eddie, and Pwallum also make an appearance! Other content: Twitch: hexagorgonlive...

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 List after all.

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 whether we can survive a third of the journey, let alone destroy some jewellery or whatever. Other content: Twitch: hexagorgonlive Web...

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 confused why every answer is a bug. These are more lifestyle ideas than costume ideas! Other content: Twitch: hexagorgonlive Website: ...

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 competitors, all whilst Bear licks his lips in anticipation.

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 Eddie looks for a legal loophole to survive his commute.

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 Jedi are the problem. All the while Jamie eagerly waits for the bad guys to win for once.

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 whilst Jamie tries to avoid actually being in the future and Alex mostly brings answers which don't actually apply to the question. So join us for wh...

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 in this multiversal nonsense. Warning for arachnophobes, this one does contain the word "spider" a lot. Other content: Twitch: hexagorgonlive W...

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 good friend Clark Kent. Surprisingly, nobody tries to take over the world in this one. Well not intentionally anyway. Other content: Twitch: hexagorg...

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, whilst Alex will do any amount of paperwork to avoid having to actually save a princess themself. Sometimes Bowser lives, sometimes he dies, but the wor...

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, Eddie wants to change the shape of driving as we know it, and Alex thinks the biggest problem with driving is the cars. Meanwhile, Jamie just wants th...
