A lot of people say it's a bad idea to get back together with your ex, but what if it was your ex from A THOUSAND YEARS AGO? What if we sweetened the pot with a little Pauly Shore...buuuudy?

We also crack the secret behind self-driving cars, get sued by Elon Musk, start fights with television networks, and in general cause a lot of trouble in this bubble.

Ben picks a fight with Pauly Shore. Mike lives for the weekend.

We finished up season 2 and taking it easy this week! Ben and Mike... yeah, definitely Mike... talk about some of our other favorite shows, countdown (somebody else's) list of the BEST Fox shows ever canceled, and also talk a lot about the things we've gotten wrong over the past two seasons.

We hope you enjoy our break and we will be back next week with a new episode of the show!

Ben has trouble with the levels. Mike gets put on blast. With special thanks to friend of the podcast, Temma!

What would happen if you found yourself on a planet of only women? What if I told you they were both very giant and very much in the mood?

There's also a B-plot about Zoidberg which is incredibly tense and crazy and you will be on the edge of your seat.

We also talk an awful lot about karaoke and why karaoke is the best and also occasionally the worst. Other talking points are: negotiating tactics, cell phone sizes, space taxis, and flying restaurants.

Ben is built like a steakhouse. Mike handles like a bistro.

Of all the voyages this podcast voyage has taken you on, the one through a live human being is probably the grossest.

We talk about a lot of gross things like colons, worms, toilet sandwiches, and black crunchy tomatoes.

Other topics are "Zero G Jugs", Gumbercules, holophoners, and ball rooms. There's a lot going on in this episode.

Ben makes a mix CD. Mike sets the bar lower than a limbo stick at carnival time.

It's Xmas in July as we suffer through a heatwave and talk about the return of Santa.

This episode gets... weird. It was very hot in the studio and we may not be entirely coherent. Which is to say, less coherent than normal.

In addition to the plot about Santa, we also talk about inaccuracies about Neptune, Schmidty's backstory (or lackthereof), and the drinkability of beverages in bathtubs. Also, a surprising amount of discussion about Fallout Boy despite knowing absolutely nothing about Fallout Boy.

We apologize in advance.

Ben starts a band. Mike thought you was corn.

Some people are born lucky, and some people need the magic of a seven leaf clover. And some people are so unlucky that they've run over black cats luckier than themselves.

We delve into some melancholy tones in this one so strap in. But we also talk about a lot of dumb things as you have come to expect. In addition to finding out more about Fry's past, we also talk about naming race horses, get some quantum physics wrong, the need to properly license things, and also a fan theory about Shaq's leg.

Ben dates Iclandic model Njord. Mike does a septuple headspin.

Let's fly penguins to Pluto and dump oil on them!

Wait. That sounds like a bad idea. But that's what we did in this episode. Bender spends some time as a penguin and I think we're pretty okay with that. Penguins are cool.

We also talk about Ben's girlfriend twirling, nature's long-johns, eating penguin eggs, and why you probably shouldn't hug on the job.

Ben insults people. Mike goes on a highly controversial mission.

Everybody has pent-up bend lust, some people and robots just tend to do something about it.

Robot love is a weird thing (as we all learned in high school) so let's do an episode all about robot love! And bending. And the robot mafia. And really dumb plans about ways to win back the fembot that is the ex wife of your best robot pal. Everything gets complicated.

We also find out about the mysterious origins of Mike becoming #TeamZoidberg. Stay tuned.

Ben has ben(d) lust. Mike starts a biker gang.

Brains make people dumb! Like this podcast! Dumb dumb podcast. You listen to podcast now? I made good sentence. Please give ham.

Also we discuss ham-related pickup lines, and hypnotoads and pet shows and classical literature that may or may not feature giant brains. We tried to get Colin Firth for this episode but his agent concluded we were dullards and we didn't have a good comeback for that.

We also rate the hot Futurama memes of summertime fun. Please let us know your favorite Futurama memes by tweeting us @backtofuturama.

Ben avoids doing impressions. Mike puts on a one-act play.

Today Ben and Mike talk Hollywood. The comedy. The drama. Webster's Dictionary defines comedy.

We also talk about the Great Gatsby again (sorry), Dr Pepper knockoffs, bending molecules to heat them, ink, Tarsharknado, and as always, other things we can't even remember anymore.

Also, a cameo from the Channel Surfing Podcast! Check them out at http://thechannelsurfingpodcast.libsyn.com/, on Twitter at @ChannelSurfPod, or look for it on iTunes!

Ben is the Mr. Pibb of podcast hosts. Mike has somebody's Oscar.
