Jeff decided to make them pizzas because no one within 100 miles makes margherita style pizza. Today, is Saturday which is usually game night, but they won't be doing it since they're away from home. They plan on just relaxing today. Stephen says that they gave themselves an extra day to relax by driving 13 hours all the way to Muncie in one day instead of driving only halfway. They are going to drive up to Milwaukee tomorrow.

Mallory is using Stephen's laptop because she has to release a MalMakes video. She says that she had once tried to upload a video on mobile while they were in Minnesota, but it was awful. Stephen then goes over to Jeff whose in the kitchen making pizza. He tells Stephen that he needs to make sure that each component of the pizza doesn't have too much moisture or else they won't be able to cook the pizza in 3 minutes. Jeff says that the sauce was made using a 20 ounce can of tomatoes, 3 cloves of garlic, and a glug of olive oil which he mixed together with an immersion blender. He says that he doesn't have a pizza peel, so he's going to use parchment paper to reliably get the pizza into the oven.

Stephen had some of the pizza and said it was really good. He can't fully express how good it is. Jeff says that Stephen is hyping up his pizza too much. Stephen says that he's hyping it up because it's really good pizza. After lunch, they play Magic: The Gathering. Chaz killed off Stephen since Stephen was planning to take all the creatures from the graveyard and put them on his playing field. Each time Stephen adds a creature into his playing field, each creature does damage to any target. So, Chaz used 3 Flyers to kill him off. Stephen says that Chaz has been saving some strong cards like sun titans and flying dragons. Earlier in the game, Jeff had a sun titan which Stephen killed in order for him to take it from Jeff's card graveyard. But, Chaz took advantage of that and used a card called "Mimic Vat" and took the card. Stephen hopes that Chaz doesn't win.

Later, Jeff and Mal are playing DDR on StepMania. Stephen was told that Chaz won the Magic: The Gathering game. He then talks about how Chaz and Jeff just got these cobalt flux pads for DDR a few weeks ago. It was the best DDR pad you could from 2004 to 2008 and they cost about $400 each. The pads were built to last and were what pro players used. The company that produced this already went out of business, so these pads are about 10 years old. Jeff says that they had to build USB adapters in order to connect the pads to their PC. Then, Stephen and Jeff play against each other.

They all went out to eat burgers at a restaurant. Back at Chaz and Jeff's house, Stephen talks about how well Sony's face detection works and how awful this feature was on the Panasonic. He says they accomplished a lot today. Chaz corrects him saying that they accomplished little, but did a lot. Stephen says that you can accomplish fun and that accomplishing something doesn't have to be related to work. Suddenly, Mal starts to laugh saying that Stephen has a huge hole on the back of his pants. Stephen then realizes that he can feel the air coming into his pants. Chaz says that he had seen the hole earlier, but it was a lot smaller. Mal says that you can use a darning needle to fix it and Stephen thinks that she's just making up words. Jeff was trying to help Stephen with tonal pronunciations over dinner. But, Stephen has deemed it to be impossible for him to do so he just abandoned the thought of trying to do it. They are leaving for Muncie tomorrow.
