The Hypothetical Institute
A lighthearted look at conspiracies and their theorists... or deep state shills working to obfuscate the truth? You decide.
Episodes
We're talking soft drinks. All the hard facts and medium-firm lols.
With a new tranche of documents released, we take a peep at more inconsistencies like bunchy jackets, and Rob Reiner's four shooter theory.
This week we're going back to the mid-80s to read some WWN. Out on the streets hypercolour might have been king, but below the waves the world belonged to fugly mermaids.
It's chock full of predictions yet no one sees Hypercolor coming just a decade away.
It gets nerdy and horny in this one. We're sorry.
We dive into what was in the news exactly 33 years ago. Learn about Princess Diana, turtles (again), and some spooky predictions
No dogs here. But we have turtles. Wanna lean some turtle facts? We got you fam.
This week we're talking about sunflowers, and by extension, the replacement of our cool dude sun with a daggy pale alternative.
You can always rely on The Hypothetical Institute for your up-to-the-minute news coverage. This week we're talking about the Olympics, transphobic brainworms and Dr Raygun.
This week we're talking about the failed assassination of Donald Trump and the myriad conspiracies it has spawned. This was recorded a few days after the shooting so feel free to marvel at our prescient analysis and ignore the non-prescient bits.
This week we're talking about tipping over cows.
This week we're talking about RFK Jr and his brain worms.
Why did 1000s of people come out and say they wanted to assault an 11 year old girl? We get to the bottom of the Lexi Bonner videos which went viral across the soc meds and in the playgrounds of the UK (and apparently Australia). With some slight diversions reminiscing about a dead shark and the sunglasses from They Live.
This week we're talking about that current event: the bridge collapse in Baltimore.
It's a very timely episode as we discuss Kate Middleton and wonder what we need to do to get a Daily Mail Photoshop commenter gig.
In the news:
This week we imagine what would happen if the idle rich listened to too much FM radio sports bant and decided to finance an Olympics where everyone was juiced to the gills. Wait, we didn't imagine it, it's really happening? Fantastic!
This week we're talking about TayTay and her journey from unwarranted alt-Right icon to right-wing outrage machine boogeyman - all while she continues to pump out banger upon banger.
This week we talk a bit about the tunnels in Brooklyn before we get onto some real news: there's aliens at the mall and they're RUMBLIN'!
Folks, it's just a tiny little news show under your tree. See you in 2024.
This week we're looking at some news: Alex Jones is back on Twitter and his uncle is a cyborg. A bloke in New Zealand leaked a bunch of confidential health data - and raises some important questions about: a) LinkedIn etiquette, and b) New Zealand taking the piss generally. And people continue to go to great lengths to prove or disprove whether MH370 was abducted by a stock image of a cloud.
