The vlog starts out with Lunch Bunch at Buffalo Wild Wings with Roland, Austin, Justin and Dan. Roland asks Stephen why he doesn't have a microphone on the camera. Stephen says that he wanted to see what the audio sounds like outside without the microphone. He also explains that the built-in microphone is in front of the camera so the sound should be more directional, but you might hear the sports games playing on the TV screens. Roland then jokingly tells Stephen "I hope you get copyright'd. I hope you get struck." from the audio coming from the TVs. He then asks Stephen why he is playing around with the camera so much right now. Stephen says that he has been having a lot of fun playing around with the snap zoom on the camera. He then proceeds to snap zoom into Dan's face and Austin's face. Stephen then points the camera at Mallory. She covers her face while telling Stephen not to snap zoom into her face since her face is already super close to the camera.

The video then transitions to Stephen being back home. He says that he is a guest on Dan and William's podcast called "Passing Time w/ Will and Dan". Dan says that the episode they are recording with Stephen will be the 14th episode. Stephen said that he told Dan and William to do the podcast over at his house since it was more convenient for him and he had the equipment to record audio for multiple people.

He says to Dan that he knows it might feel weird to use the headsets since they normally use the Audio-Technica AT2020 microphone. Dan says that usually with the AT2020 microphone he can just move away from the microphone and laugh but with the headsets he can't do that. Stephen jokingly tells Dan that in order to laugh he would have to tear his headset off, put it on the ground, and then step outside the room. He then reassures Dan that he usually keeps the gain down enough so that laughing won't clip the audio. Dan then tells Stephen that this episode would be released on Monday. Stephen then says that the podcast can just be watched on YouTube so the viewers don't have to subscribe on Gamefly or anything. William then jokingly says that subscribing to them on Gamefly would help them. Stephen then jokingly says "Please support us on Gamefly!"

The video then cuts to Sagan sitting in a box. Stephen says that seeing a cat in box never fails to make him smile. He then adds that seeing Sagan and Kepler also make him smile. Stephen says that the podcast went really well. He then talks about how he is doing some work in preparation for when they go on a trip next month. Some of that work is editing the vlogs from the old timeline. Stephen says that a couple of the old timeline vlogs will be released this week. He then talks about how lately he has been having a lot of health issues with the biggest one being vertigo. Stephen says that he still occasionally deals with the effects of vertigo, but it has mostly deteriorated. He said that a lot of movement or motion can still trigger it though.

This time he feels like a certain spot on his neck is sensitive to the touch and that it feels like something inside his neck is hurting. He mentions that the pain in his neck is unrelated to the kink in his neck from vlog Day 3388. Stephen says that this pain has been going on for 3 days. He says that whenever he overexerts himself he can his heart pumping really hard in that spot. Stephen says that it might be related to his carotid artery. He then says that Mal has been encouraging him to go to doctor, so he might make an appointment tomorrow. Stephen says that he isn't the type of person to worry about things a lot, while Mal tends to worry a lot more since she has anxiety. Stephen says that he does experience stress, but it has never affected him consciously. He said that he is lucky that he has Mal who worries about him. Mal then tells him that she would prefer that he go see the doctor tomorrow. Stephen then talks about how the color grade is better in this vlog. He said that the March 12th vlog is the ugliest vlog in terms of color.
