Zoidberg loses his hip bachelor pad. Leela loses patience with her parents. Fry somehow DOESN'T lose his pants in this one despite all the other times it has happened this season. Also there's something about a blenal gland and crabasaurs also existed. It's all explained in the episode.
Meanwhile we're talking about millennial memes, mayonnaise, and spiders. I'm not sure if that is supposed to get you interested in this episode or make you run away. But it's probably fine because I don't think anybody actually reads these.
Ben gets some shoes. Mike gets some shoes.

Murderoni
Something something scandal at a local pizzeria I simply cannot be bothered by that. But also, we go on a fun adventure to the Central Bureaucracy and fight something that does 2d12 damage. Look nerds, I accidentally say 1d12 damage when Dwight clearly said 2d12. Also I said a bastard sword does 1d12 damage when really it does 1d10, and I meant greatsword which I'm also wrong about because that does 2d6. What I was thinking of was a greataxe. Let's not call a lot of attention to it.
Fry also loses his pants. So that was a plot.
Meanwhile we're talking about awkward things that happen to us, pineapple on pizza: yay or nay?, arcade cabinets, and radioactive teeth. We truly contain multitudes.
Ben finds a table of radioactive half-lives. Mike is perceived.

Wicked Human
The rapture is here! Everybody is getting raptured... almost. The few stragglers try to figure out why this is happening from a scientific perspective. I guess. Mostly it's just yelling about how good science is? It's fine, we'll get into it.
Meanwhile we're talking about elevator music and Shakespeare plays somehow.
Ben dies as he lives. Mike enters his Benoit Blanc era.

Scared Screenless
These darn kids with their screens! Always on their screens! Why won't they stop looking at them!? If only there was some sort of program to get them to stop, perhaps taught by some sort of famous war hero / war criminal? Also, while the kids are away, the parents will play (get massively drunk).
Meanwhile, we're talking about the things we're bad at, our histories of being nerds on a burgeoning dial-up internet, and living in a world of enshitification.
Ben performs a retro impression. Mike makes a ringtone for reasons he does not remember.

The Numberland Gap
Amy uncovers a secret number station plot to develop a device to travel to Numberland, a world where there are only numbers. ONLY NUMBERS. Bender is afraid of every number except 0 and 1. Fry tries to become an artist. Also, special guest Danica McKellar. On the Futurama episode and not our podcast. Obviously. (But if you want to guest, Danica, please reach out).
Meanwhile, we're talking about movie lines, how sand is coarse and gets everywhere, numbers stations (they're real, look them up), and more!
Ben gets pedantic about Morse code. Mike gets excited about math.
Ben and Mike take you on a podcast voyage back through one of the greatest TV shows Fox ever cancelled. We also talk about a lot of other tangets that come up, whether it's Battlebots or A-1 Steak sauce.
