Stephen says that he woke up before his alarm went off and was unable to go back to sleep, so he just worked. He then later took a nap since he woke up earlier than usual. However, he didn't set up an alarm and ended up sleeping until dinner time and completely skipped lunch.

Stephen says that the first episode of Morning Mario came out today. He said that he had a weird dream where he couldn't record a 2nd episode of Morning Mario on time for some reason. Then, Tom Fawkes showed up and told Stephen that he would record the video for him. Tom ended up recording a video of him wearing ski gear while on a mountain giving snowboarding tips. He then asked Stephen if he liked the video. Stephen told him that it wasn't Morning Mario and he didn't even record a game. Tom replies saying that he took some liberties with the video.

Stephen explains that the way they have been choosing meals is to go to the market and pick out a meat and a vegetable. However, he didn't feel like having meat so they are having portobello mushroom caps. Stephen says that he had them a lot growing up since his mom is a vegetarian. They have portobello mushroom caps stuffed with spinach and artichoke and drizzled with balsamic reduction. Additionally, they have a pear and Gorgonzola salad on the side. Mallory eats the mushroom and says that too much oregano was added. Stephen tries to feign ignorance that he wasn't the one who added too much oregano. He explains that oregano is great and should be added on everything, but then he tries the mushroom and agrees that he added too much oregano. Mal said that she thinks she got the recipe from Rachel Ray and changed a few things. She then talks about how the only difference between the mushrooms she cooked and Debra's recipe is that she didn't add sun dried tomatoes.

Stephen then thanks his Patreon producers. He talks about how it being the first day of July makes him realize that they are already over half through the year. He then talks about a company called Uniqlo that teams up with other brands to make interesting and unique clothes that are inexpensive. They occasionally team up with companies like Nintendo and have contests where people can submit designs for shirts and the winning T-shirt designs are sold for a limited time in their stores. One contest was a Pokemon T-shirt design contest and Mal set an alarm to wake up at 9:00am in order to order some of the shirts.

Mal ordered a Jigglypuff and Pikachu shirt for herself and a Magikarp T-shirt for Stephen. Stephen says that the Jigglypuff T-shirt reminds him of the Pokemon anime since Jigglypuff only draws on people's faces in the anime. The Magikarp T-shirt is based on the art piece The Great Wave off Kanagawa, but with Magikarp on the wave. Mal said that she wanted to order one too, but the only size available was for men. She then talks about how even the women's size shirts vary from being baggy to fitted. Stephen says that each T-shirt design only has sizes for either only men, only women, or only children. They both agree that the designs that are only available in child size are the best ones. For example, there was a Kirby shirt they both wanted from another contest, but it was only available in child size. Mal says that Hayley was able to fit into the kid's size shirts, so she is lucky. Stephen then says that these shirts are cool and inexpensive compared to the new Pokemon high-quality shirts released by Nintendo that cost like $130. Stephen says that he wished they would make the T-shirt designs that are available for children in adult sizes as well since adults can be exciting and wear flashy and bold designs.
