Episode Transcript

(00:01):
We start waiting for an intro,there's gonna be a short episode of cartoon
Me. So yeah, yeah,we're skipping a fifteen minutes in the hell
for a fifteen minute or cartoon noMe. We're gonna call the fifteen minute
episodes shitter episode. So it's soit's somebody you can listen to well on
the on the toilet and some ofthose poop. Yeah, so it is

(00:23):
perfect. I listened to a fewof our podcasts the yesterday when I was
moving lawn. But uh so,so yeah, like it's been like hardcore
in my mind pop Pop Bears becauseit took a minute to because like oh
I remember, yeah, yeah,because that's the saying. It just showed

(00:45):
up on my Facebook feed and Iwas looking at it because like I don't
remember the Pop Pop Bears at all, but you know what I remember there
was that turtle, that falcon,and that goddamn bear. Yeah speaking of
bears. Yes, so there iologistSo for anybody who doesn't like listen to

(01:10):
any of the other podcasts, Meand Heath are huge, huge Futurama fans,
like when it comes to TV shows, yeah, like we quote it
way too much. So the secondepisode of the eleventh season just came out,
and this episode takes place twenty yearsafter an episode where Kiff and Amy

(01:34):
had children, but the weird thingwas Leela was the one who got Kiff
pregnant. I'm still also like howthey explain that it's the year thirty twenty
three. That's like, yeah,here we got get because I watched I
watched the last episode from when Igot canceled before and it was thirty thirteen.

(01:57):
Yeah, how was it thirty twentythree because the professor told you.
No, No, that doesn't makeany sense, because the professor resets everything
back to when they you know,had the whole time junk button where Fry
kept dying and dying and dying untilhe landed on wrong and then him and

(02:20):
Leela the universe was frozen and himand Leah walked the Earth together for decades
with no memory of anything that hadhappened. I've got monitses with that,
because there's no way they didn't havekids. I'm sorry, but I agree.
But also at the same time,like I figured at that point,

(02:40):
just like did we really want kids? They didn't have sex? No,
they probably had sex, but alsoa time Scott so they had their condumns
were free for them. Yeah.Anyways, like he resets it to it

(03:00):
should be thirty thirteen, and eveneven at that, even at thirty thirteen,
I was like, eh, Ididn't, I don't, I don't.
I don't care for when like showsthat go one forever, yeah,
reference the their year actual passage oftime, because it doesn't make any sense.
Oh, because also it doesn't showthey age. Yeah, they don't

(03:22):
age at all, Like I mean, like the other Greening show, the
simpsuence has been for amost forty years. They don't. You don't know what
year it is in Springfield. Technologychanges and stuff like that, and they
make references to this and that,but they don't actually one screen go it
is this year year. Yeah,because then it doesn't make any sense.

(03:46):
Even if you want to go,okay, well they're adults and they're gonna
f I was what how how oldwas Fraud when the show started? I
want to say he was in histhirties. Out what I want to say,
because he was a kid in theeighties. Yeah, he was in
it. Well if he was akid, because his dad would have been
born in like nineteen fifty one,because he's his he's his dad's dad.

(04:11):
Yeah, So for I would havebeen born in the seventies, so when
the show started, he'd be atthe oldest, he'd be twenty five years
old. It's been twenty years.Okay, come on, he's almost fifty
years old. He's gonna age.I'll have to I have to do some

(04:40):
research on this and even want togo, Okay, well he just looks
good for his age. Blah blahblah blah. The Cookie Bill orphans don't
age. They don't age, Soyeah, time age, like I think,
but also like I would chalk itup to like amazing medicine of the
future. At the same time,with the orphan no no, no,

(05:03):
let me finished the episode the latePhilip J. Fry when all they do
is go forward in time, everybodyages, then everybody it's connuity are.
That's a good episode though, that'sone of the best of it. That's

(05:23):
an episode, so I know whatyou're tying back to the episode at hand
anyway, So so basically like thiswas a fun episode, Like I legit
loved it, Like it was likeI feel like they're starting they're trying to

(05:44):
wrap up some ends on their parts. Like I feel like it's like this
may be their last official last season, so it's like you know what,
let's give like you know, Amyand Kid, happy family and all that
stuff, because like what what gotme? It's like where Leila the whole
time, like it's just denying thatthis this happened. Yeah, it's like

(06:12):
you you don't remember this. Yeah, it's like when ann I must have
been drunk. It's just like it'sand especially like the explaining, like there
was a little too much explaining oflike the flashbacks on this one thing I
thought was kind of stupid. Thebees wax m that's just whatever. It

(06:39):
was. Then when when Namy's likedoes everyone see the video of kid given
birth? And everybody's like no,and then she says the video they're all
standing there, they all saw it. I know. That's where I like,
I wasn't like that like happy withit. It was like you're you're
reshowing this scene and just like everybodylegit forgets about it. But even the

(06:59):
professor sor he says, you werethe one who got him pregnant. Like
the beginning of the episode was likeit wasn't like it like it was good,
but it wasn't what I wanted.They could have done better, like,
but the like as the and oncewe got away from that part and
moved on through the episode and stuff, especially when the kids show up.

(07:23):
I thought it was hilarious when thekid like the the widowing Ye, yeah,
it was, That's what I wasabout to bring up. It was
freaking phenomenal. The but like that'slike even the like what I thought was
kind of interesting that the kids andwhy they're aged differently depends on the temperature

(07:45):
of the water, and it's like, Okay, that's kind of cool.
I like that. Then we sawthe grand the curate for the Grande,
so it's like, I'm a hugefan. Oh it's gruffy, like that's
saying that Amy Leila and doing thevoice of Amy's dad. I don't know.

(08:11):
I think it was totally different.I think it was No, it
was Billy West who does it,but also a ship job at it be
fair, it's probably like it's beena good while since he's done that.

(08:31):
You think it's the voice is asidefrom like Leila, because it's just case
of calls. It's such talks.Everybody else's voices. You're starting to show
some age except Bender. Be fair, it's just Joedan Maggio being Jodan Magic.
Yeah. But that's the thing is, like, do you have any

(08:52):
more of Jordanmaggio? Could? Could? I mean he probably does Bender,
like while he's like reading a book, yeah, you know, doing the
dishes. You know he's forty becausealso like almost every voice he does is
almost similar to Bender. Look atJake the Dog for instance, but like,
well yeah, but like Billy Westseems to have a lot of difficulty

(09:16):
going back into those voices. It'slike like that's saying, well, he's
Billy West is getting up there inage. Shoots. Look at uh look
at mel Blanc, good example,been doing those voices for how long?
And I mean mel Blank, youknow, yeah he's dead. I'm saying,

(09:41):
like up in the night like whenhe starts still doing it up to
his late age. He like.But also like I don't know Billy West
smokes or not, but that's thesame like when you do, like your
voice shows your age. Shoot,look at Mark Hamill when he does the
Joker. The Joker does show likehis age. We does the voice anymore?

(10:07):
See I disagree, I feel causeas much as I enjoy Billy West's
voice acting. He kind of comesoff as an asshole. He very much
does, and I feel like he'sphoned it in. He doesn't care to
put in the effort to really goback and find Zoidberg and the Professor and

(10:31):
Fry. Joe Dimagio is having afun fucking time doing this, and it
shows even Bender is getting some goodone liners in these episodes. So it's
like there was a there was auh a meme, that's all, and

(10:54):
it was the four Cluss from theCity and the Iron Chef episode where what's
his name, Helmut Spargo is Futuramafans and he's what he's eating is the

(11:15):
new season and Vendor is Hulu.It's like, like it like it,
and it's like it is acceptable.It's what it does, and like I'm
enjoying it so far, so far. You but but yeah, I think
I think you're right in the whole. They think they have one season and

(11:37):
it's it, so let's just tryto like fill up like the questions and
answers that like we need to getbefore, like you know, because I
guess that's the thing to be fair. Like the last season, they kind
of knew what they were dealing with, so they kind of left it on
a cliffhanger. It's like, Okay, then maybe we can do it.
Maybe we can't, but where it'slike okay, because it'd be fair.

(12:01):
We didn't even know we were wantto get a last season last time.
So with this one, I thinkit's it ended pretty like it's now it's
like, okay, then it lookslike everybody's starting to get up there in
age like Magraining is like you knowwhat I'm getting, Like, I'm tired
of fighting for Futurama because I'm losinga battle here every fucking time I do
it. And then because like youknow, like no matter what he has

(12:26):
the Simpsons. The other thing isthat with Futurrauma, had Box really given
him the push it needed and keptit in a consistent time slot, I
don't think it ever would have gonecanceled. I think it would have done
better than The Simpsons. Not aboutmatter, because Simpsons has more of a

(12:50):
broad appeal. It's like that theflimp Stone shoot, there's points you could
go back today and still look at. Just watch a random Flintstone episode,
said, I can watched them oldflint Stones actually really because I've got an

(13:11):
antenna for my TV. Yeah,and so just here, I'm just like,
it's a minute since I've watched,but you've been watching me TV and
stuff like that. Yeah, andhe's been watching with the kids. What
are they like? How the kidsreact to it? Like it's funny.
I like it, okay, Andwhen like the first time I've turned into
one, I was like, it'sso much, I'm wanna watch funstence Bub
was like the guys from the CerealBox. He's like yeah, He's like,

(13:35):
they have their own cartoon. It'slike, no, no, no,
this cartoon has its own cereals suchthat the first sounds about right.
But I also, like, tobe fair, there hasn't been that mighty
Flintstones except for Flintstones. If mighthave been sincereo. Well yeah, it's
like they don't produce any new Flintstonecartoons. The last a lot, the

(14:00):
legit the last one they did likea little mini series like of new animation.
But I think the last actual Flintstonesmedia they did was they did a
Pebbles and Bambam shut here not solong ago. Yeah, it was yeah,
it was okay, you could tellus for kids, but they did
Flinchstones like a deep, dark adultlike the comic they did. Yeah,

(14:26):
it's not a man called Stone,a man called Flintstone. I need to
watch that with the kids. It'sall of them, all right. Yeah,
they loved that when I was akid. They it was the W
W E crossover with Flintstones. Thatwas the last big Flintstone thing they did.

(14:48):
That's terrible. They also did withthe Jetsons Scooby Doo. Scooby Do
does a crossovers with everybody all thetime. Always. I guess nothing,
bird do. They're running out ofmysteries. It's like five wolf men.
I mean these lobbies that we dealtwith quite a bit. So that's an

(15:09):
episode of her cartoon, Nomme everyone. Hopefully we this may be the only
episode today, so we shall seeeverybody later
