It's Lilly's 2nd birthday and everyone sings the Happy Birthday song to her!

Back at home, Stephen says that is voice is better than it was yesterday. He didn't feel well when he first woke up and wasn't planning on attending the birthday party. But, he started feeling well enough to go as the day went on. Stephen says that he was glad he went since Mallory was not well enough to drive. When she woke up in the morning, she felt really dizzy and her symptoms sounded like vertigo. It was strange because Mal had never experienced this before.

Stephen then talks about how the lights and desk mount he ordered arrived. He ordered an alternative to the Elgato lights because they were cheaper and he didn't need the option to change the light color temperature. Additionally, the LED lights don't get hot like CFL lights. He says that he is currently doing a test run to show how the set up for self streams and Morning Mario videos will look like. Stephen then talks about how he used to use a kitchen chair for Morning Mario, so that he is taller than the back of the chair. This is so that the back of the chair wouldn't show up in frame.

Stephen says that he was thinking of lighting up the green screen, but it was already evenly lit with lights. He was also sitting far enough that he was not casting shadows on the green screen. Stephen talks about how he also got a desk mount for the camera. He says that he is excited to get back into Morning Mario and Dan is looking forward to editing it since he gets more creative freedom in editing Morning Mario compared to other Let's Plays. Stephen then says that today is game night and they are recording GTA Online.

Later, Stephen says that he has been coughing a lot today. He had to put a hot key on discord to toggle mute because he was coughing so much. Stephen says that his voice is coming back, but it sounds really low. He hopes his voice gets better before Morning Mario starts again.
