Description
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.

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...
The boys are back in town (the cube) for our new season of episodes! Kicking things off with us stinky little guys is our best of friends -- Travis Helwig! Listen in as we learn about the human body, meet a movie star, enjoy some excellent parkour, and burn some calories in some totally normal workout classes! Will this be the season that the boys finally escape their horrible prison??? (It's not!)
DING! Did you hear that bell?? That bell means it's time to cozy up next to the fire and listen to the latest episode of CAPTAIN HIPPO PLEASES THE CUBE. It will thrill you. It will tickle you. It will change you. With a little help from guest Yoni Lotan... the boys will explore a solider arriving home, visit comic-con, attend a sex party, and audition for Santa. DING!
Need something to be thankful for this week? Well here you go, kids! Our latest episode of Captain Hippo Pleases The Cube is one for the ages. With a little help from Alex Dickson, the boys will do their darndest to please their captor. In this episode, we'll meet a pet sitter in a tough spot, tour a farm wedding venue, help an exterminator gain their freedom, and make an impossible choice. Please (there's that word again!) rate and review our podcast!
Lights. Camera. Cube! This week the cube wants content about "FILM" -- whatever the heck that is! Lucky for the Captain Hippo boys they have noted film enthusiast and friend of the podcast, Chris Mann-Nelson to help them. Listen in as some teens try and sneak into an R-Rated movie, James Bond finally meets his match, fish are sold, and big foot is found. Please rate and review this podcast if you are enjoying yourself. Thanks a bunch!
We try and we try and we try to please this damn cube and they're never happy enough to let us go! Luckily, we have Carrie McCrossen this week to help us appease our horrible captor! This time the Cube wants content about "VENGEANCE" and we are more than happy to provide it. Listen in as a bank robbery goes wrong, a student confronts a professor, some neighbors show off their wealth, and a series of prank calls don't have their intended effect. And Cube, if you're reading this -- Let us go.
The boys are back for the premiere episode of SEASON TWO of Captain Hippo Pleases The Cube! And guess what kids? They're not alone because guest Mark Vigeant has been stuck inside the freakin cube with them and he's gonna try and get those cheeseburgers! Listen in as a company deals with a hacker, a conversation between NASA and moonbase 1, a tricky hard drive recovery and explore the endless variety of VR. New episodes coming out every two weeks! (most of the time.)
Your eyes do not deceive you, it's time for another installment of Captain Hippo Pleases the Cube! This time the boys get some help from Siobhan Thompson as they try to give the Cube some incredible comedic content about the word "Spicy"! In this episode, our crew will visit hell (scary), try and get some car maintenance done at a pepper-themed mechanic (confusing and scary), and call into a sexy sex hotline (scary and also a little confusing.) Listen in and find out if they're able to please the Cube or if this is the week they finally get turned into skeletons!
On this episode of Captain Hippo Pleases The Cube the boys welcome their second guest EVER! One, Glenn Boozan, who will try her best to help the boys escape their cube-y prison! To do that the boys (and Glenn, of course) must give the Cube content about "Attitude" which is easy for the boys because they've got too much of that junk. Join us as we drop in on an after-school detention, go inside a high-profile meeting about colors, listen in to a radio show about love and eventually end up in a serious meeting with HR. Just another day inside the Cube!
On the latest installment of Captain Hippo Pleases The Cube, Captain Hippo welcomes in their first-ever GUEST, a person known as Laura Willcox! She will help save the boys from being turned into skeletons and honestly? They need the help. Listen in as a hotel staff argues, a Queen hands down judgment, a family wins the lottery and a cat sitter gets more than they bargained for! Tell your many close friends about our lovely podcast!
You didn't ask for it but we still did it! Here is the first BEST OF EPISODE from our limited run! If you don't like it, take it up with THE CUBE, buddy! The Cube wanted our best, and only our best, this week and so we delivered! Revisit some new neighbors meeting for the first time, buy a no-tears onion, listen as some guys try and hire a gunslinger, learn to paint lines on the highway, immerse yourself in the soupsperience, jam out to some piano man, visit the museum that horses own, drop into the world's biggest bowl, and paint a pretty picture with Robert Fife. It's all killer and no filler. Do enjoy.
