Ben and Tom made an assertiveness app - and well things got a bit out of hand.

Plot
Tom and Ben attends a technology convention. The host of the convention, MC, welcomes all of the attendants and introduces Steve Hobbs and Steve Bosniak on stage. Both Steves tell the story of how they invented the first ever computer on/off switch; by working together and following the "Pyramid of Friendship." Amazed, Tom and Ben decide to sneak backstage and meet them.

Tom and Ben hide behind a clothing rack, only to be caught by Hobbs and Bosniak. Hobbs and Bosniak start a friendly conversation with Tom and Ben, but Bosniak begins an argument with Hobbs. The fight escalates and they split up, furious.

Tom and Ben return to the garage, worried that their business partnership would fail if they continued on, and they would end up splitting up. So, they go to the Future Tron, one of their inventions that allows them to see the future on television. On television, Tom and Ben receive an award for their contributions to technology. However, offstage, they start an argument after Tom accuses Ben of taking all the credit to himself. They begin fighting just like Bosniak and Hobbs, and they split up.

Back in present day, Tom and Ben do friendship activities to prevent the split-up from occurring. After a trip to the carnival, they return to the Future Tron. They find out, however, that they were so focused on playing that they mismanaged their company and had to sell the company to Ginger.

Tom and Ben get into an argument on what was shown on TV. They wonder what would happen if they relaxed instead of trying to make the future better. They use the Future Tron to see what would happen, and they find that in the future, they would become rich and successful, but Angela would end up marrying Hank, much to Tom's shock.

Tom destroys the Future Tron with a sledgehammer. Tom explains to Ben that trying to improve the future only makes the present day worse, and does not improve the future at all. They decide not to use the Future Tron any longer, and end the episode with a large dance scene.
