Win Stupid Prizes

Superheroes waste their powers preventing crime, they could make much more money by DOING crime! But what superpower would be the best at robbing a bank? Eddie becomes a law abiding citizen, Alex asks out a bank teller, and Jamie eats some cheese. Meanwhile, Judge Bear does a big fart. It doesn't matter if it's daylight robbery, a heist, or changing your name to Rob Bank and winning on a t...

The Doctor Who writers are clearly running out of ideas given they keep coming back to David Tennant, but thankfully we're here to help. The question "Doctor Who?" has never been more relevant because we're pitching people to play the next version of The Doctor! In this episode Eddie turns The Master into a cat, Alex converts a duck into a Cyberman, and Jamie makes the Daleks do...

In Highlander there can only be one immortal, but there are a few other things we'd like there to be a lot less of - only one of, in fact. So we're going to let some heads roll and their powers be absorbed to figure out what is the ultimate thing to Highlander. In today's Quickening: Jamie ruins science, Alex hosts a joust, and Eddie fights Joe Rogan as we all come up with fast rules a...

Plumbing just isn't paying the bills any more and the movie pay checks only go so far, so Mario needs a career change. But in what industry would Mario not just survive, but thrive? Paul wants Mario to eliminate the competition, Eddie suggests a life of crime, and Alex sits back as Judge Bear trials a bunch of voice lines in place of their answers. More accurately, we've got Olympic glitch...

How would you like to relive the Bubonic Plague? How about help build the Pyramids? OK well what about having your Saturdays locked behind paid DLC? If you think these ideas are good we've got even more as we try to improve the calendar in this episode! Jamie organises a Smite tournament, Bear eliminates scheduling, and Eddie makes everyone a woman for a day, as Judge Alex just tries to figure...

We all know that Pokémon is running out of ideas, but it turns out there's a simple solution: Just change the location! We've got 6 totally original ideas for The Pokémon Company to explore, and they definitely won't all involve lengthy copyright battles. Eddie suggests the most extreme places he could find on Earth, Bear goes to the most bizarre places he could find not on Earth, and...

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 while Judge Alex is just trying to...

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 from the Empire in...

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 Judge Bear mostly just wants to see Fred in a...

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 into 1s and 0s around him. At least we aren't tor...

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. Meanwhile, Jamie's alter ego, The Judge, uses its...

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 wishes on Dragon balls, popping ballo...

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 ques...

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...

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 Stup...

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! More details at: www.hexagorgon.com/series/win-s...

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 abo...

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 bl...

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, an...

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 jealo...

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:...

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 ultima...

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 some...

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 - n...

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 ha...
