Summary
Mike said he was sick for this one. I don’t know. He didn’t seem sick to me. He seemed suspiciously at the top of his game. And thank goodness for that. Because we needed all his powers for this episode – one full of fun, mirth, and madness! And some Kickstarters as well. To wit: a doctor trying to become a content creator, our favorite Kitchen Idiots, a watch that doesn’t work, and more. Oh and just as a cautionary note, I’d tell you to watch out for Mike coughing and sneezing a lot on this episode, but he didn’t do it at all. So. Make of that what you will.
