Happy Halloween! In this episode we talk about our Halloween costumes for this year, including this amazing Iago hat made by Lindsay Smith! We also dive into the amazing crazy musical world of The Aquabats! They’re Carrie and Alex’s new favorite band, and Luke went to see them in concert. Carrie also does a brief report on OVFF and Alex’s Alexa shenannigans, and Luke talks about the stuff he’s been up to per usual. And hey, this episode is only 1 hour and 43 minutes, our shortest episode in a very long time! That leaves you more time for trick or treating! Cool!

This episode’s comedy & music tracks are by The Aquabats!, Devo Spice, TV’s Kyle, MC Cool Whip featuring Schaffer The Darklord, Professor Elemental, Tom Smith, Paul & Storm, & Scooter Picnic. And I’m only now realizing I forgot to do the “What’s at the FuMP?” segment during plug time, so, uh, go see what’s at the FuMP yourself at www.TheFuMP.com!

Three months have gone by since the last full episode has posted, the timing of which means that (besides promotional episode #127.5), we went completely through MarsCon season with out me posting an episode. In fact, Carrie and I finished recording all the segments of this episode 7 weeks ago (before MarsCon 2017), and I am only now getting around to editing and posting it for you all.  I apologize for the delay, but hopefully this is an indication of how busy I’ve been lately between creating the MarsCon Dementia Track and my day job making the best cartoon show ever “Mighty MagiSwords”.

In this episode we recap our 2016-to-2017 holiday season experiences, Luke’s visits to the Midwest and Carrie’s visit to the hospital. We also went to the Volo Auto Museum where we got a picture with a replica of “Greased Lightning” because “Grease Wars”. Speaking of fast cars, Luke is very excited that there’s a new arcade game in the “Cruis’n” franshise.

This episode’s comedy & music tracks are by The FuMP, The Gregory Brothers, “The Lego Batman Movie”, Insane Ian, “The Flash” & “Supergirl”, Tony Goldmark, the great Luke Ski, “Tangled”, “Moana”, “Beauty And The Beast”, StarF, Devo Spice, Da Vinci’s Notebook, The Library Bards, and Power Salad.

Tune in next time for our MarsCon 2017 recap, which will hopefully post sometime before FuMPFeST 2017. 🙂
