Mallory is helping put ear drops in Stephen's ear to help his ear infection. Stephen says that the ear drops are always really cold. He thanks Mal for her help since she's been the one helping him put ear drops in his ear. Stephen has to put 4 drops in his ear 4 times a day. Then, he talks about how he has had ear pain for the past few days, but he had no ear pain when he woke up today. He still has pressure in his ear from the ear infection, but the pain is almost completely gone. At the beginning of the day, he didn't want to get his hopes up that the pain was gone. But, the pain never came back for the entire day so he hopes the pain is over. Stephen talks about how he needs to take antibiotics for his inner ear infection for 7 days and use ear drops for 10 days. He has been using both for 5 days now.

Today, he worked and they had game night where they played bowling and miniature golf in Tabletop Simulator. Stephen says that the creator did a good job making both games because Tabletop Simulator wasn't designed to make these types of games. He says that they went off the rails while playing these games because the size of the balls can be adjusted in Tabletop Simulator. So, they all made their balls gigantic which made the games really crazy.

Stephen says that they are going to his parents' house to have dinner and watch the Super Bowl tomorrow along with Lindsey. Dan is out of town, so he won't be joining them. Stephen is really looking forward to spend time with his family and with Lindsey. He then talks about how people have been asking him on Twitter about which team he will be cheering for. Stephen says that him and Alex usually pick which teams they are rooting for on the day of the Super Bowl game. He believes that it's Alex's turn to pick his team first.

Stephen then thanks his Patreon producers since it's the beginning of the month. Mal's been playing Yoshi's Island off-screen. Stephen says that the playing it on the Nintendo Switch allows you to rewind, so you can redo it if you make a mistake. He says that it feels like you're cheating the game and yourself since you don't learn anything from your mistakes. It does make sense to use it if you fail multiple times and can't get past a part though. Stephen says that he wishes some other games had a rewind button except for Dark Souls since it would mess up the premise of the game.
