Stephen says that he has been doing a good job of adhering to his low-cholesterol diet after his doctor told him that he has high cholesterol. He says that he hasn't eaten scrambled eggs cooked in butter for a long time and he feels like he deserves some as a reward.

Super Mario Maker 2 was released today! Stephen says that he will record story mode for the first week to give people time to make levels. However, he doesn't have everything set up yet. Stephen says that he decided to use the vlog camera to film Morning Mario. He says that it's a bit inconvenient to switch it from the vlogging settings to recording Morning Mario, but there are a few features that he really likes on the vlog camera.

Later, Stephen finishes recording the first 5 episodes of Morning Mario and he says that the story mode levels are well-made. He says that the levels do a good job of showing off concepts people might not know about in general if they have never played Super Mario Maker before. Mallory is cooking bratwurst for dinner since it was on sale at Publix. Stephen says that he is not the biggest fan of bratwurst and sausages in general, but he really likes breakfast sausages.

Stephen says that they received a package from Maxwell Pepperoni (Paul and Amy's cat) that is addressed to Sagan and Kepler. Mal says that Maxwell first appeared on the vlog on Day 3319. The package is wrapped in pepperoni pizza patterned wrapping paper which Stephen says is appropriate since it was sent from Maxwell Pepperoni. The package contains a quilt with cats, astronomy, and pizza. It's basically the Astronocats! There are also stickers with pictures of Maxwell on them and Maxwell's business card. Mal explains that Maxwell is a therapy cat that has gone through the proper training and visits retirement homes and hospitals to help with therapy. The package also contains a letter that talks about how originally the quilt was made with some glow-in-the-dark thread, but the thread couldn't withstand ironing so Amy had to start making the quilt all over again.

Stephen then talks about how Kepler doesn't like being in the kitchen when they are cooking, so he is currently not interested in the quilt in the kitchen. They eat the bratwurst and Stephen says that it doesn't compare to the bratwurst they had a when Stephen first visited Mal in Wisconsin. Stephen, Mal, and Mark were travelling down the road and they stopped by a meat market where they were having a brat fry and had some grilled bratwurst. Stephen says that he prefers having bratwurst grilled and with a bun, but he didn't want to go out of his way to buy a pack of buns to eat 2 bratwurst. Mal suggested that he should wrap some regular bread around the bratwurst and eat it that way. Stephen then thanks Amy, Paul, and Maxwell for the quilt.
