Who would win the most gold medals at the Olympics?
Once every four years (or two if you don't forget about the Winter Olympics like we did) the world's finest athletes come together to figure out who is the best at doing a bunch of stuff. We mostly ignore that and instead just try to cheat, steal, or otherwise acquire as many gold medals as...

What is the worst video game to be an NPC in?
Years ago we established the best game to be an NPC in, now it's time for the opposite: which video game is it worst to be an NPC in? Jamie needs 10 wolf pelts, Eddie blocks a toilet, Jamie needs 10 wolf pelts, Paul just is, and Jamie needs 10 wolf pelts. Meanwhile Judge Alex faces the…

How would you wipe out the dinosaurs?
Dinosaurs are pretty cool, but what's even cooler is dead dinosaurs, aka fossils. The only problem is the meteor which wiped them out has gone missing. So with nothing but the shirt off our back and a time machine, can we figure out a way to extinct the dinosaurs? Eddie follows in Keanu Reeves'...
-
Which superpower would you use to rob a bank?
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...
-
Who should be the next Doctor Who?
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...
-
What would you Highlander?
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...
-
What job would Mario actually be good at?
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...
-
What changes would you make to The Calendar in the next balance patch?
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...
-
Where should the next Pokémon game be set?
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...
-
What job should Santa actually have?
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...
-
How would you improve the Death Star?
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....
-
How would you utilise the Mystery Gang and their dumb dog (Scooby-Doo)?
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...
-
What would you do with the Matrix?
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...
-
What would your comic book villain gimmick be?
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...
-
Who would host a better party than Mario?
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...
-
Which animal would be the best at fighting crime?
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...
-
What job should Peter Parker actually have?
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...

Ask Stupid Questions - QUIZ!
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.

What changes would you make to The Weather in the next balance patch?

-
How would you use Wallace's inventions?
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...
-
What would you do Before Christmas? (à la The Nightmare Before Christmas?)
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...
-
How would you stop Sonic the Hedgehog?
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...
-
How would you Bust Ghosts?
The Ghostbusters are MIA again! Instead of outsourcing the job again, this time we're taking the Thanos approach and doing it ourselves.

-
What is the best Magic: The Gathering spell to have in real life?
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...
-
Which is the best fictional house?
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…

We’re making a pirate crew! Who do we bring?
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...
-
Could we take down Jaws?
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...
-
Which villain would you add to Doctor Who?
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...
-
What's next for Pokémon?

What changes would you make to humans in the next balance patch?
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...
-
Could we survive The Two Towers?

-
How would you do a better job than The Grinch?
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…
more -
Could we survive The Fellowship of the Ring?
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…

Which monster would it be best to be?
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.

-

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...
-
Which vehicle is best for the daily commute?

-
How would you stop Palpatine and the rise of the Dark Side?
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…
more -
What is the best future?
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...
-
What Spider-Man would you add to the Spider-Verse?
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...
-
What job should Superman actually have?
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,...
-
How would you save Princess Peach?
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,...
-
What changes would you make to Driving in the next balance patch?
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…

A Win Stupid Prizes Retrospective
Due to scheduling conflicts, Eddie and Alex were left to record an episode by themselves. Rather than solving one of the least asked for questions on the internet, they got distracted and ended up talking about the podcast of Win Stupid Prizes rather than actually trying to win a stupid prize.…

How would you stop Santa Claus?
Last year we tried to do a better job than Santa, but that didn't work, so this year we're just outright stopping him. Can three mortal beings stop the seemingly omnipotent being that is Santa, or will he once again prove too much for us? And more importantly, will this mean we're all getting…

Which actor would have the most confusing life if their films were real?
Actors are a wild bunch, but wouldn't it be even wilder if they weren't actors? If every film an actor has been in was completely factually accurate, which actor would have led the craziest life? Alex forgets what question they asked, Jamie sticks to his theme, Eddie doesn't understand…
