Episode 64: The Good Shall Survive

The buzz around town is that ancient ravenous insects are hatching beneath the bee people colony. We don’t know much about these Tycons except that they’re sporting rad outfits (with knee pads), and they “wahnt muwh hah-nee!”

With the planet’s ecology in jeopardy – the muscle-bound Eternians will starve! – the bee people enlist our friends from the palace to protect the food stores. But Skeletor has also hatched a plan to “bee”-friend the Tycons, steal Eternia’s food, and extort King Randor for all the usual assets of power (Castle Grayskull, the palace, the world …).

Will He-Man “bee” able to communicate with the Tycon leader and set things right? DId Orko accidentally save the day? And what do we feed Buzz-Off at the state dinner? We’ll answer all these important questions on this week’s show.

Along the way, we’ll also discuss bee stings and bee fashions.

And here’s something else special: To celebrate our friends with giant appetites, some of us on the show will eat something disgusting for your amusement! So go ahead and crank up this week’s episode. It’s like “hah-nee” to your ears.
