From the Topiary Gardens in Columbus, Ohio, Mike revels in the beautiful early spring weather and the increasing daylight afforded by the Spring Equinox, reflecting the seasonal joy of friends "thawing out" after winter and anticipating his upcoming birthday, which falls on St. Patrick's Day — a holiday he cheekily refers to as "heterosexual pride."

Mike joins a gathering around a fire for “Shenaniganza,” a ritual of the Celtic New Year in which participants cleanse themselves of past disappointments from the preceding year 2020.

Mike demonstrates the interactive yet siloed nature of social media through an interactive conversation with viewers and with his roommate Jonathan, prior to his birthday, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking with regards to digesting information, weighing its credibility, and forming a conclusion based on these varied accounts and sources.

Mike celebrates his 32nd birthday hosting an informal virtual gathering in order to consolidate birthday greetings from friends. He shares his love for flavored tea, reflects on his recent move back to Quebec, and discusses the challenges of his work.
