Back to the Futurama

The PlanEx crew goes to a secret lab to fix the professor's A.S.S. It turns out now it is a giant ring filled with rats. Rats, not mice. This is very important for all the rat puns they are about to consume. Now they have to escape from the rat ring.

Meanwhile, we're talking about family traditions, whether or not windmills work that way, the various reasons we have our own A.S.S., and the legality of just playing audio from Steamboat Willie.

Check out the song "Ride the Bus" by The Frans, as mentioned in our email segment. I checked it out, it actually rips: https://thefrans.bandcamp.com/track/ride-the-bus-4

Ben provides sake advice. Mike forgets his own lore.

Yarrr raise the flag on the space pirate ship, we're having a democratic meeting to discuss whether X marks the spot on this episode. Fry and Kif and Bender (if there's time) get captured and it's up to the PlanEx crew to rescue them from maybe the coolest pirates ever. Also there is a plot about the D.O.O.P. and the Vampire Empire.

Meanwhile we are talking about the only food we'd ever eat again and try to broaden the definition of pizza and sandwiches as much as possible.

Ben memorizes the D.O.O.P. rulebook. Mike describes cube rule theory.

Bender's abuelatron gets scammed! So he decided to scam the scammer, only to get scammed... into love? Also it turns out that the scammer has a legitimate catfish farm. And on top of it, the rest of the Planet Express crew tries to scam the scammer as well, including a scheme involving a secret decimal point and professor fun bucks. There's an orangutan with a multi-use banana.

Meanwhile, we're talking about sports teams, Mario Kart, James Bond, and what it truly means to be a middle-aged dad.

Ben comes back in time to warn the world about the war of 2039. Mike falls asleep in a recliner.

We're back for a new season! Fry gets back into the exciting world of competitive hot dog eating. The professor gets into the exciting world of cloning cows to make 100% all beef hot dogs for competitive hot dog eating. Plus, a competitor returns from the year of 1999... kinda.

Meanwhile, we're talking about hot dogs and paint colors (no together, obviously). We're out there in the world getting hot dog pilled.

Ben gets a blue corvette. Mike gives an announcement.

The crew is selected to go witness the birth of a new universe! But the problem is that they will age terribly, tens of millions of years! So they hatch a plan to sleep in a carbonara stasis and then shenanigans ensue. Of course.

Meanwhile... well we're actually kind of on task for once? We don't go on too many digressions other than a few video games. But we do try to figure out what the worst burrito fillings are.

That's a wrap on the season. See you next year!

Ben makes a vegetarian lasagna. Mike tries out for a role as Dr. Doom.
