Hermes follows in his dad's footsteps by leaving his family to harvest that dank Jamaican... coffee. And Planet Express becomes Planet Espresso (hey! That's the name of the episode!)

Meanwhile, we're talking about the things people are obsessed with that we just don't get, and also talk about Twin Peaks an awful lot considering neither one of us has really watched it. Stay tuned for Twin to the Peakarama coming this winter! (This will not be happening.)

Don't forget, we're sending out stickers to anybody who donates $5 or more to any of the organizations listed in this article to help with hurricane relief: BPR News — Ways to donate and help flood victims in Western North Carolina after Hurricane Helene https://www.bpr.org/bpr-news/2024-09-28/list-ways-to-donate-and-help-flood-victims-in-western-north-carolina-after-hurricane-helene

Ben considers becoming a Twin Peaks Guy. Mike sells an ad to Dunkin Donuts.

Amy gets heavily into the world of collecting Fuzzy Funbags, a clear Beanie Babies analog, and she does it at the expense of her own children and some orphans. This probably also happened with Beanie Babies in the 90s, just don't think too hard about it! Also, a bunch of different DOOP bases have had a strange number of deaths that is probably not related. Just don't think too hard about it!

Meanwhile we're reinventing Pod Decks and trying to start a new Pod Deck Cast. Sorry?

Ben throws out some baseball cards. Mike buys some tulips.

It's an anthology episode! Hooray(?) We're looking at three different mysteries: Lancy Trew, FryFry, and Wikipedia Brown. It's... certainly an episode of television.

Meanwhile, we're talking about infinite tacos vs. infinite sushi, whether or not cream cheese soda would be good, whether the rest of the world thinks we're weird for chili, and many more!

Also! Ben was on an episode of The Great and Secret Knowledge, talking about the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz! You can check it out here: https://greatandsecretknowledge.libsyn.com/the-wizard-of-oz-1939-with-ben-mooney

Ben likes his cream cheese soda. Mike chooses Big Pink.

This is it. It's over. The Planet Express Ship is dead and so is the show. (Not really. There will be more episodes to come next season!)

Fry experiences Deja Vu. Not really. It's somehow all the things that were and could be and also a ghost ship of the Planet Express ship. I feel a little bit like I'm typing nonsense into this episode description, but am I wrong about any of it? No.

Meanwhile, we're talking about things I'm pretty sure the PodDecks have given us before, the perils of a rewatch show turning into a recap show, how we can't remember what we even had for breakfast, and more!

Ben fails upward. Mike shows some ass respect.

The first order of Hulu episodes is done, and we're here to give our thoughts about it. What did we like? Did we like things? Let's find out.

See you in season 10! Or season 13. Whatever it is we hope you're there.

Ben turns neutral. Mike turns the camera on society.

We're back and we're talking about the latest season, in which Bender gets really tall after making a literaly deal with the devil, and then Fry and Leela do some stuff I guess.

Meanwhile we're talking about the darnedest things that the kids say.

Ben dispenses Tinder advice. Mike buys one art.

The world is doomed. Doooomed. DOOOOOOOOOOOMED! A new climatetastrophy is on the horizon after some controvertible data is processed into an obviously incontrovertible graph. A plan is hatched to save the climate once and for all (again)! We also talk about the hierarchy of biologists that is raised by the events of this episode.

Meanwhile we are talking about some poorly thought out drinking games, weird place we fell asleep, and the deadliest animals of all.

Ben takes sides in the eternal Cola Wars. Mike demonstrates the importance of properly labeled axes on graphs.

Fry and Leela are on the rocks (again) and so Fry gets an illegal magic mirror to prove that Leela is his soul mate. This backfires when Leela's soul mate is revealed to be the man, the myth, the legend Branch Woodsman. Hilarity ensues.

Meanwhile, we're talking about being the coolest kid in school, karaoke and strippers, and of course the esteemed acting career of one Mr. Kenny G.

Ben needs to apply himself. Mike also needs to apply himself.

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.

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.
