The year? Now. The time? The future. Comedy group Captain Hippo has become entombed inside of a psychedelic cube. The cube wants one thing… content. Sometimes, the cube picks a topic and demands a performance. If the group makes the cube happy, they are rewarded with cheeseburgers. If they fail, they will be turned into skeletons. One thing is for sure: in order to survive, Captain Hippo must… PLEASE THE CUBE.

    CHAOS (w/ Nathan Min)

    Oh SHIT you're not going to believe this but Nathan Min (Joe Pera Talks To You, Ten Year Old Tim, other things) has entered the Cube and is ready to throw down with the boys in the most very best of ways. Listen in as a train conductor talks to a captive audience, a cult leader tests his members, a 911 operator tries to get to lunch, and some scientists try and make a new superhero. It's all good and funny. Don't worry!   Also, we have merch now! We're not sure who wants this but enjoy! Buy it here: https://captainhippo-shop.fourthwall.com/

    JEALOUSY (w/ Lauren Adams)

    Ring the damn church bells because we've got a barn burner on our hands here! Our buddy friend Lauren Adams (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, UCB) has found her way into the Cube to do some fun laughs with the boys. Listen in as we visit a Thanksgiving dinner, hear people pitch their business ideas, check in on a tense play rehearsal, and try some dessert bagels. It's an incredible episode.   ALSO!!! If you live in LA, see Lauren's show "Jealous B!@*h" at UCBLA!

    PJ (w/ Mike's Cousin PJ)

    It's a family affair in the Cube this week! We are joined by Mike's lovely cousin PJ who tells us about his life on Staten Island before we do some scenes based on his stories. Listen in as we go to a contentious poker night, visit the library, adopt some new pets, and then get sent to Disney jail! Scary! Do we end up pleasing the Cube or do we do a shit job and now we're skeletons? You'll have to listen to find out!

    TESTOSTERONE (w/ George Kareman)

    What is a man besides a jumble of skin and guts and hair? We wish we knew the answer to that important question but unfortunately, we don't. What we do know is that George Kareman (Man Thinkers, Funny or Die, other things) is in the house this week talking "Testosterone"!  Listen in as George and the boys try and figure out if a baseball player is using steroids, what it takes to donate sperm, what it takes to buy a sick car, and what life is like working on the Home Depot hotline.

    HANDS and FEET (w/ Darren Miller)

    Who has joined us in the Cube this week? Why it's none other than Mr. Darren Miller (Funny, or Die, other cool things)! He joins the boys inside their beautiful (awful) Cube home to talk about "HANDS and FEET". Listen in as two men go to a Palm Reader, we tune the dial to Sports Radio, a nervous groom tries to overcome his cold feet, and a reporter interviews some very fast runners. Listen in and tell your dang friends about the podcast plz.

    BUBBLES (w/ Cathryn Mudon)

    Finally, we have somebody who is actually freakin' happy to be in our stinkin' Cube! That happy-go-freakin-lucky person is our dear friend Cathryn Mudon (Dollface, Broad City, etc.) She's bringing all the energy to our episode about "BUBBLES." Listen in as a plumber tries to unclog a toilet, a lab monkey learns to talk, coworkers toast a retiring employee, and people order fast food. That's it. That's all the stuff in this shit. K, bye.
