The time skips worked in their favor, with Richard Nixon's Head granting them "all the money on Earth" to build the "bad ass gravity pump" and attach it to the ship. With the pump, they intend to reposition stars around the source of the problem, thus diverting the time skips to the empty side of the universe. With the assistance of the Globetrotters' leader, Ethan "Bubblegum" Tate, Farnsworth builds a "bad ass gravity pump". The Professor formulates a theory that the crew's collection of chronitons has destabilized space-time, and will lead to the premature destruction of the universe. Although the Earth team holds a substantial lead, and there are only two minutes left in the game, the Globetrotters win an overwhelming victory during a time skip. The Professor calls a timeout during which one of the atomic supermen is killed and Fry joins the team. But at the start of the second half, time begins inexplicably jumping forward. The game proceeds, with Farnsworth's team of mutants maintaining a lead over the Globetrotters. The crew returns with the chronitons, and the mutants' growth is successfully accelerated. All the while, Fry is trying to woo an unreceptive Leela. Bender's objection that the particles in question were responsible for the destruction of an entire civilization is ignored. When he completes his work, he is left with a team of mutant infants which necessitates the Professor sending the crew to gather chronitons to accelerate their growth. Professor Farnsworth accepts the Globetrotters' challenge, resolving to create a team of mutant atomic supermen to take them on. Representatives from the Globetrotter homeworld land in Central Park and challenge Earth's honor on the basketball court, for no apparent reason. Basketball and time travel play a prominent role in this episode. The title is from a lyric in " Fly Like an Eagle" by Steve Miller Band, also featured in 1996 film Space Jam.
