Mike got snowed in and we couldn't record our normal episode, but our podcast buddy Max was already scheduled to record with us. So instead of talking "The Why of Fry," we zag and just talk about Futurama for a bit.

We start this episode asking some hard hitting questions, but we promise it's relevant to the episode. Zoidberg eats a flag and people get up in arms about it. The only flags harmed in this episode are made up, fictional flags, we cannot stress that enough.It's Freedom Day, though, so do what you want! Listen to this podcast or don't!
