The Hypothetical Institute

This week we're looking at some news: Alex Jones is back on Twitter and his uncle is a cyborg. A bloke in New Zealand leaked a bunch of confidential health data - and raises some important questions about: a) LinkedIn etiquette, and b) New Zealand taking the piss generally. And people continue to go to great lengths to prove or disprove whether MH370 was abducted by a stock image of a cloud.

Well folks, if Law & Order is going to pivot into conspiracy theories, we will pivot into Law & Order. And if we have to watch huge amounts of copaganda to do this, so be it.

Folks, it seems decidedly NQR that we did 194 of these things before we got around to the BIGFOOT. In fact it may not even be the case at all. Yet we uncovered new (to us) facts about Bigsfeet that surely we would have known if we'd done this already. To that end, Luke "Robbo" Robertson and Cam "Cammo" Smith are discussing Bigfoots, how to murder them, and which is the worst branch of the US Milit...

Folks, this week we're talking about two incidents that are more connected than you might think: Dan Andrews stacking it on a tiny staircase and the assassination attempt on Nancy Pelosi. We have News Corp losing their mind, fake news content farms, and DOGS. ON. SMACK. A little something for everyone. Dan Stans, all complaints may be directed to Luke on Mastodon: @tinyshinyhands@westport.skatepar...

This week we're talking about our new King - is the Antichrist? Is he an eco-fascist? Is he a vampire? Plus Salty is scared of scary movies. SPOILER ALERT FOR M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN'S SPLIT. No spoiler alert for Mark Duplass' Creep, because I edited the spoilers out. You're most welcome.
