Hey everyone I don't know if you can hear it by the sound of my voice, but I got back from New York and I'm really sick

Somewhere between the airport and the subway and the conference I attended I got a bug and I feel absolutely horrible. So while I did not intend to do another

So enjoy this encore episode on Universe 25, the Utopia for mice that went horribly wrong.

And hopefully tomorrow I'll have a fresh episode for you. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to create a utopia, a place where all your
