Captain Hippo Pleases The Cube

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.

Available Episodes 10

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/

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!  

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! 

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. 

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. 

Mama freakin' Mia we have a special one for you this week! On the podcast is our personal best buddy Don Fanelli (A League of Their Own, New Jersey Is The World, etc)  and he is helping us make good laughs about "Garlic" so the Cube is nice to us. Listen in as roommates deal with problems, a pizzeria takes calls, teens try and pull one over on a sleepy grandpa, and a boca berry salesman sells boca berries!  

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. 

Welcome to... Jurassic Park! Wait - no - sorry, I meant the Cube. Welcome to the same ol' stinkin' Cube! What isn't the same old shit this week? Our guest! Our guest is new and better than ever! Joanna Bradley (SNL, other things) joins the boys as they try and make the Cube happy for the 21st time. Listen in as a restaurant staff prepares for dinner, some kids try and buy alcohol, wedding guests send their best, and some new neighbors come over for a hot Jonathan! 

"Hey Cube/Mom, can Josh Gondelman come over and play?" That is precisely what we said to Cube/Mom before she sucked the one and only Josh Gondelman into our waking hell of a world! Thanks Mom/Cube!! Josh Gondelman (Last Week Tonight, Desus & Mero, "People Pleaser") helps the boys make up some shit about "SNEAKERS" so that we'll be allowed to live another day. Listen in as a heist is planned, a dunk is slammed, a club is bounced and antiques are roadshow'd! 

It's that very special time of year when we premiere our 19th episode! You all thought we could only do 18 episodes but MAN were you WRONG! Anyway, enough about how wrong you were (and it was so much) because joining the boys in the cube is our friend Amy Hoggart! (FeManism Podcast, Full Frontal with Sam Bee) In this episode, Amy helps the boys create some content about "Deep Voices" and it's cheeky as hell. Listen in as we visit a pottery class for men, audition to do the voiceover for Planet Earth, explore the deepest seas, and help a man stuck in a well. I hate to bring this up again but you all were so wrong about us only being able to do 18 episodes...
