“	L'Cast: who knew fishing could be this sad!	”
—Ranboo's proposed catchphrase for L'Cast

The L'cast is a podcast gameshow hosted every Sunday by HBomb. Each episode, HBomb will bring two members to fish in the L'cast Lake and ask questions to get to know the members of the SMP. These questions can be both personal and SMP-related, sourced from both HBomb and chat. The contestants don't always answer every question, and the questions don't need to be answered truthfully.

At the end of the episode, HBomb sets up a poll to ask the chat who answered the questions the best. The winner gets to either keep everything the three of them fished up during the show or choose a mystery box. If one of the contestants fish up a Mending Book, they will be given a PigStep Disc.

The surrounding area where the L'cast is held was built by HBomb, and is decorated with sand, sea life, and coral. It was also lit up with lanterns, and during episode 3, it was discovered that the reason mobs had been spawning was due to a tunnel dug near the lake.

Episode 1: Niki vs Wilbur

The first episode of L'cast was streamed on HBomb's channel on December 6th, with Wilbur and Niki. An edited version was uploaded onto HBomb's Youtube channel on Dec 12. By chat-vote, Niki narrowly won over Wilbur.

Notable Moments

• When Wilbur is dumping his inventory into the chest that HBomb directed him to, HBomb peeked and saw two enchanted compasses, which Wilbur had called "spoilers". These were later revealed to be Your Tommy and Your Tubbo.
• Wilbur stole Stal, while it's location is unknown, it's presumed stolen as it was gone from HBomb's Ender Chest, and Wilbur happened to get it when he lost it.
• Niki chose the loot chest, while Wilbur was given the mystery chest.

Episode 2: Fundy vs Ranboo

The second episode of L'cast was streamed on HBomb's channel on December 13th with Ranboo and Fundy. An edited version was uploaded onto HBomb's channel on December 19. At the end, Fundy and Ranboo were given 3 trivia questions, and while Fundy initially won, Ranboo was declared the winner after Fundy threw the competition.

Notable Moments

• The L'cast episode started late due to them messing around with a boat glitch that Fundy was playing with.
• HBomb initially forgot the mystery box prize for the episode, forcing him to listen to chat for recommendations. The chat decided on an iron ingot named "you get a maid for 1 hour", named after HBomb's bit of being Fundy's maid.
• The Titanic is HBomb's original boat from the beginning of the episode, and Fundy sunk it to the bottom of the pond while HBomb was distracted. Later on, when HBomb took Fundy's boat, Fundy made The Titanic rise back up and took that instead.
• In response to Fundy talking about his loneliness, Ranboo jokingly stated: "L'cast: Who knew fishing could be so sad."
• Ranboo chose the mystery box, which contained the piece of iron named "you get a maid for 1 hour" surrounded by stacks of baked potatoes. Ranboo decided to save the iron for a stream with Fundy in the future.
• Ranboo cashed in the prize on Dec 27th while he was making festival games, citing that he was bored and wanted to give Fundy free content.

• Punz won the episode with an extremely close margin of seven votes and chose the mystery box. The box contained a disc, 28 smooth quartz blocks, a heart of the sea, a jukebox, and 2 enchanted books.
