Clip Show Q&As

Microwave Me has various FAQs in the description of each clip show. Here are all 10 thus far.

Season 1
Q: I understand the other stuff, even the popcorn, but why hot pockets? A: I wanted to show right off the bat what would happen if people listened to the haters. If they got their way, hot pockets, popcorn, and TV dinners would be all that would ever be microwaved on YouTube.

Q: Why no dangerous items for season 1? A: I had to limit myself due to using the microwave I actually use to cook food in. I couldn't do things that would spark or catch fire, so I had to think about what the coolest stuff I could do that was safe was.

Q: Why don't you talk during the microwaving segment? A: That's an idea I got from Kenny Irwin, to keep the microwaving sequence pure.

Q: Is your show an imitation of Is It A Good Idea To Microwave This? A: Simply put, no, it's not. Granted, it's partly inspired by their show, but it's also inspired by dOvetastic Microwave Theater and in many ways has my own original touches.

Q: Why do you sound so bored for season one? A: That was my character. I rewrote it realizing that just as people didn't get Jory's "stoner" character, they wouldn't get mine, either.

Q: Why don't you have a sidekick? A: Because nobody has offered to take the role. And because I don't yet have the budget to pay additional cast members.

Q: Do you do collaborations? A: Yes, but usually I'll invite you. So far I have two collaborations for season two planned.

Q: You alluded to doing the chestnuts before in your early episodes. A: Yes, I originally had a pilot for a show even more like IIAGITMT? but realized the format didn't work for what I was aiming to do, and you could barely see the chestnuts spin. On top of that, the working title of the show "Microwave My Head" was an in-joke from when Jon and Jory microwaved a microwave that just sounded dumb, and it was 11 minutes long with just one minute of actual microwaving. I couldn't get fresh chestnuts to spin, so I ended up with an unintentionally hilarious episode with exploding chestnuts as well as my first "Bad Idea".

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Do you write the jingles we hear at the end? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Mostly, yes. I wrote the "Good Idea" and "Bad Idea" jingles but the "Stupid Idea" jingle is a public domain sound file of a slide whistle.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Are there any more ideas coming for season 2? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Yes, so far I have "Really Bad Idea" and "Deadly Idea" to give a hint of the direction I plan on going. And yes, each have their own jingle.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: What changes are planned for season two? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: I'm going to be moving the location outside and using a different microwave so that I can do some more risky experiments.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Does your season 2 microwave have a name? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Yes, her name is Renee. She's a 1988 GoldStar making her newer than Jennie. She also has a turn-dial.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: When will season 2 begin? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: I plan on starting season 2 right around Christmas. I'm not done filming it yet as of 12/6/12, but I guarantee I'll be done with everything by time the episodes are slated to air.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Can I suggest an item to microwave? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Sure, but nothing that could kill me. I'm saving that stuff for if I actually become successful. In the mean time, no airbags, car batteries, or lava lamps. I'm already doing something plenty dangerous for my season 2 finale. I might use some of your suggestions for season 3.

Season 2
<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: What's with the whole "pirate" theme? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: It's a new character I invented. I wanted to break away from the "I'm a low budget parody" thing from season one and do my own thing.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Why did Jennie come back? And will she appear in the future? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Jennie is my home microwave, I used her to do a few low-key experiments that were safe enough to do at home since the home microwave offers the best visibility. Jennie is completely retired now although she is coming back for a special.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: You said before "no dangerous acts" but I just saw you microwave a lighter, what gives? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: That was season one. I wasn't about to cook a lighter in my home microwave.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Why do some of your verdicts change in revisited experiments? And can you give an explanation behind your idea verdicts? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: The show evolves. The good/bad idea was based on whether or not it's something your microwave was meant to cook, but around the end of season one it began to change to simply whether or not it's safe to microwave. Here's a brief explanation of my idea verdicts.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Good Idea - Safe to microwave, it may or may not put on a good show, but it won't hurt you or your microwave to do this at home. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Bad Idea - Not safe to microwave. It could damage your microwave and ruin your food that you cook in the microwave for awhile. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Stupid Idea - Serves no purpose being microwaved. Not safe but doesn't even put on a good show. Just a waste of time. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Push Idea - It's technically safe to microwave but something I'd exactly recommend. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Really Bad Idea - These items often catch fire and could be a source of problems for not only your microwave but yourself. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Deadly Idea - Attempting these without proper safety precautions could lead to injury or even death.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: You forgot to microwave some items? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: That happens sometimes, I either don't get around to it or I just don't have as much the means to prepare as I thought I did

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: I've seen your ratings system before but it seems inconsistent, can you explain it in further details? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Sure!

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Rated G: Contains no profanity, innuendo, or crude humour. Safe for children of all ages to watch without adult supervision. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Rated PG: Contains mild profanity, no innuendo, little crude humour. Safe for everyone 7+, below 7 may benefit from an adult present. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Rated PG-13: Contains moderate profanity, mild incidental innuendo, moderate crude humour, but not a combination of all three. Safe for everyone 13+, kids age 12 may benefit from an adult present, but not recommended anyone under 12 watch without adult supervision. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Rated R: Contains severe profanity, moderate innuendo, severe crude humour, or a combination of all three PG-13 indicators. An item related to sex automatically merits at least an R rating, such as a condom. Recommended only for those 15+, although younger teens may watch with an adult present. Not recommended for anyone under 13 under any circumstances. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Rated M: Contains a combination of severe profanity, moderate innuendo, and severe crude humour OR contains an instance of mildly explicit sexual language or severe innuendo. An item used for sexual purposes automatically generates this rating, such as a dildo. For audiences 16+ only, or age 15 with adult supervision. These are rare but one may appear some day. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Rated NC-17: Probably will never appear. Contains explicit profanity, severe innuendo, extremely crude shock humour, and/or some sexually explicit language or a sexually suggestive image/gesture. Sexual items such as a dildo not handled professionally will merit this rating. For audiences 17+ only. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Rated AO: Will never appear. Contains explicit profanity, severe innuendo, extremely crude shock humour, explicit language, and some sexually suggestive images/gestures. Unusual sexual items also earn this rating. For audiences 18+ only. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Rated X: Will NEVER EVER appear. Contains everything on the AO list plus sexually explicit images. Depicted use of a sexual item earns this rating. For audiences 21+ only.

Season 3
<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Why has the style of humour on your show changed?

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Due to the fact that many of my viewers are under the age of 15, I felt that it wasn't appropriate to include so many sexually-based jokes, so there's going to be less of those in the future. Notice how I didn't make the obvious "carrot joke" and only hinted at what marshmallow fluff looks like.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q; Why don't you announce the microwave's name very often anymore? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Introducing the microwave takes time and sometimes I have to edit.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Why don't you put as much effort into your episodes? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: I cut the budget because people aren't commenting. Even if they like it, no comments.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Why do some items promised in a season never get done? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Two reasons, either it wasn't feasible at the time (such as the promise of the aerosol can in season two), or I did try the experiment and it was a total fail. I don't post my fails unless it's a highly anticipated item, and even then I often redo it.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Now that you did things such as a lighter, a battery, printer cartridges, and a can of hair spray in a bowl of cooking oil, has your definition of "too dangerous for my show" changed? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Yes, the show constantly evolves. In season one, I had to stick to safe items that can be done in a home microwave without any problems. I could have also done a light bulb, tin foil, and a water balloon but I really wanted to be on the safe side. Season two I test the water a little of more dangerous items, and I decide for season three to do some really cool items. Season four will contain a lot of legitimately dangerous items, so I may have to change the definition of "deadly idea" slightly.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Do you ever plan on revisiting some old experiments that didn't turn out as well as you'd hoped? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Possibly. I will redo the total fails someday, such as the pop can, but some of them were cool but just had a few visibility issues, so I may not redo them. I have already redone a few fails (egg, candles, water balloon)

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: When are you going to do something highly dangerous? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Season four. But not every item I do will be dangerous. I still haven't run through the whole produce section, after all.

Season 4
<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: What's with that little movie clip in the middle of the microwaving I saw in your last two episodes? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: That's intermission, to break up the monotony of waiting for something to happen in the microwave.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Why are so many of your experiments so long? Why don't you edit out the boring stuff? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Believe it or not, I DO edit out the boring stuff, but I like to keep as much of the whole microwaving story as I can. For example, the silly string episode had I not edited it would have been over 20 minutes long and I actually microwaved the coconut for over a half hour THEN ADDED TIME just to get something to happen. I spared you 80% of the waiting.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: What's with the longer intro? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: It's to give it a more professional look.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Why don't some planned items get microwaved? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Feasibility issues. As time passes, these issues go away.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Can you just shut up and skip to the microwaving? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Believe it or not, I do have episodes like this, but my "purist" episodes" are among my least viewed episodes of all time. The majority of fans want narration. I do, however, leave the microwaving sequence in the purest possible form.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Can you microwave a microwave? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: I'm planning on it!

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Are you ever going to take a break from microwaving? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: I am now actually. I'll probably be back in early July to start season 5.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Why do you release episodes closer together than you did early on? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Originally I wanted to release them slowly with space in between each one (hence why seasons one and two are so spread out) but on January 5, I decided to just upload episodes as I made them, since it felt more "natural" that way.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Is the ban on dangerous items still active? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: No. Actually, many of the things I did this season would have been things I refused to do in seasons one or two. So feel free to request spray paint and lava lamps, I actually have them planned for the future.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: How much has your budget increased? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: A LOT! Everything from my first two seasons were things I found lying around the house. It was essentially a no-budget, play it by ear show. For example, the egg was out of my refrigerator. Season three was the first one I bought stuff specifically for the show. Even then, a lot of the items were things I found around the house. Even some season four had items (like the bottle of beer and the fuse) were things I had lying around. But I actually bought a new camera just for the show two months ago and I bought Quincy new.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: What was the most expensive item you've microwaved to date? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Probably the easy button which was $9. Sure, I dropped the ordinary food item based parody show angle starting with episode 8 of season 1, but I still am really low budget for a YouTube microwave show. But the coolest stuff is actually cheap. For example, that silly string only cost me a dollar and the CO2 cartridges were $7.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Is Quincy a boy or a girl? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Yes

Season 5
<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: What's with all these long experiments that didn't do anything? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: I wanted to show what happens when they're microwaved. Believe it or not, I oftentimes cut out a bunch of the experiment because I know you don't want to sit through 30+ minutes of something doing nothing.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: What's with the erratic schedule? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: I can't help that. I upload episodes as I film them. Sometimes you get multiple episodes in a day, sometimes you have to wait a long time.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Can you give me some advice on how to be a better microwaver? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Sure! Here's a few rules of good microwaving everyone should bear in mind.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">1. Don't film sideways. Not knowing which way you're supposed to hold the camera can instantly turn a cool video into a pile of crap that I won't even bother to watch. Learn how to hold the damn camera! If you're using a cell phone and filmed horizontally, rotate it 90 degrees so it looks good, if you filmed vertically, DO NOT edit it, a vertical video still looks better than a sideways video. And if you started out vertical, do NOT turn it horizontal in the middle of filming. Either stop the video and film another horizontal all the way or if you already began microwaving, leave it vertical. Or if you're too lazy to edit, buy a $20 camera instead. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">2. Make sure the microwave and the item being microwaved is in your shot, not yourself, your friends, nor the timer. Glancing away briefly is okay (albeit risky) but focus mainly on the microwaving. It's okay if you backed up and the timer's in your shot as part of the background, just don't focus ENTIRELY on the timer, otherwise you may as well be cooking hot pockets since we can watch our own microwave timers any time we want. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">3. Stopping the film mid-microwaving is risky and usually a bad idea. If you have a limited amount of film, get as much as you can and film right when the cool stuff is starting to happen, otherwise try to get the whole microwaving story and edit later. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">4. On a related note to 2 and 3, don't cut out the microwaving sequence entirely like some people do, we want to see the cool thing happen. Unless you're a microwave chef, then you're exempt from this. An even worse variation of this is leaving the camera running while it's nowhere near the microwave giving us long stretches of NOTHING. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">5. No misleading titles unless it's something like an April Fool's joke. For example, if your egg pops lightly, don't imply it shook the house. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">6. For safety's sake, when I say don't try this at home, I mean don't try this at home. If you really must do dangerous items, do them outside. A 12 year old boy ran his own microwave show, with his mother's approval and support, but did the items indoors. He eventually burned down his house microwaving a battery, his mother died in the fire.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Here's a couple videos that provide examples on what NOT to do.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">This video gets both #1 and #5 wrong! Impressive! The title uses hyperbole to imply a cool explosion, but it's just a pop. Oh, and it's filmed sideways. Check it out and give it a dislike. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_0D0a...

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">This is a perfect example of getting #2 wrong and this person's microwave videos ALL are done this way! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx82uv...

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Here's an example of someone NOT practicing proper safety precautions. The video itself was actually filmed beautifully, but safety should ALWAYS be your #1 concern, and it wasn't this person's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OIRRE...

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Also with 2, 3, and 4 - this is how troll videos are made like a Wii U going in and chicken nuggets coming out. So you also run the risk of being accused of fakery.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Bear these rules in mind, and be sure to remember the list and examples of what NOT to do and you'll be good as gold.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Season 6
<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: How old are you?

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: I was born in 1985. Do the math.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Everything's too dark/I can't see through the mesh. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Both of those are beyond my control. I'm not giving myself cancer, and I'd like to see any of you clean a soot covered microwave. And I can't afford to get a new microwave for every experiment. If you'd like to help with that, donate some of your used microwaves.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Can you do more express episodes? Your videos are too long <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: I tried doing express episodes but despite the vocal minority clamoring for them, none of you are watching them, so there's no incentive. And besides, some experiments are hard to condense down to a 10 second video.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Why did you stop in the middle of season 6 for so long? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Life happened. At least I gave you season two of "Will It Flush?" to keep you occupied during that time.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Why didn't you microwave (insert item here) yet like you said you would? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: It's not always that simple. Notice how I still haven't done the watch batteries I'd been planning since season 2? I'm not happy about it, either.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Why did you declare (X item) a good idea? I tried it and something bad happened. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: While I try to give the most accurate verdict possible, I admit sometimes I mess up, like with the gummy bears (although a few ARE a good idea). Don't assume that anything I say is safe is a guarantee that nothing bad will ever happen. Remember, even hot pockets can explode in the microwave.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Why is your highlighter video your most viewed? It's not even your best. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Beats me.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: I've noticed in seasons 5 and 6 your filming skills have improved A LOT. It used to be so hard to see the stuff you microwaved, what's your secret? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: My biggest challenge following season 1 (where I was just using my home microwave anyway) was keeping the microwave clean. After hearing a lot of complaints that season 3 came out mostly too dark, I decided to get a better camera and improve the lighting system. You should notice the improvements this season. Watch any Sarah episode and compare it to any Renee episode or post-VHS tape Demi episode.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: What's with the music? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: I wrote it all myself.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Why don't you want to microwave a smart phone or gaming system? That'll get you a LOT of views! <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't have the money to. You know how I call myself a "low budget microwaving show"? That's not entirely a joke. In fact, the blender and the champagne together cost more than the rest of the season 6 items all combined. Many of the things I microwave are things from around the house.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Was the fear real after the champagne bottle exploded or were you just acting? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: The over the top stuff was acting, but I was legitimately scared as much as excited. You would be too if you saw a microwave door go whizzing by you.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Why was the remote arm used less in season 6 than in earlier seasons despite the higher stakes experiments? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Because I used mostly turndial microwaves and I'm a lot more confident than I once was. Although in retrospect, the Dermoplast and Monster M3 probably should have been started with the remote arm. I tried starting the charcoal that way but went out unless I started it as soon as the door was shut Hence, why it was only used in the fireworks episode. It probably will return for season 7, even if not to start the microwave.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Are you going to microwave fiery and explosive stuff for seasons 7, 8, and beyond? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Yes.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Season 7
<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Why haven't you done my idea yet that I suggested?

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Usually I was planning to and I tried, but I couldn't find the means to do the requested item safely or just couldn't find the item period. For example, one thing I've really wanted to microwave is thermite and I've gotten many requests to do so, but if you've seen where I live, you'll know it's impractical. Even doing gasoline (which I will do in a future special, I promise) is really pushing it and so was the champagne bottle. Other items I've looked for high and low but couldn't find anywhere. And there's just some items that I really don't want to microwave either. For example, one person asked me to microwave a balloon filled with rocks once, I know that's not going to do anything, so I never did it.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Why are you quitting the show? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Well, to be exact, I'm not entirely quitting the show, just spacing it out more in the form of specials. However, it's not going to be like "Is It A Good Idea To Microwave This?" where they do maybe 2-3 specials a year now. In their case, it's getting 3 guys together that don't live near each other anymore, so it can be hard to manage schedules. In my case, I'm one guy and I can do an episode any time I want, but it will be far less frequent.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Where will you go after this? Will you start over? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: No, I won't be deleting my videos and starting anew somewhere else. I'm mostly proud of my 260 episodes on YouTube and I largely enjoy the feedback I've gotten, so these videos are here to stay, and on that note, I may stay as well. I'm moving to Vimeo and Trendo but a few people have given me good reasons to consider posting to YouTube as well, and I'm honestly considering sticking around.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Why are you doing episodes in the daytime again? You know about the glare. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: I'm doing more day episodes because you can see the results of explosions during the daytime. I still do many of my experiments at night.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Are you ending your show because of the new comment thing? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Partly, yes. It's actually due to a more recent change to subscriptions involving Google+ where subscriptions become hidden and you have to resubscribe to everyone unless you use your real name. THAT was the big thing. The comments were just the last straw. I've found I have to directly send my videos to people or they won't get them. When you have nearly 700 subscribers like I do, you shouldn't have to send your videos out manually like I did or hope that someone shares them to Reddit.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Do you still accept donations? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: No. I know I said I did in the past, but since nobody donated to my show, and the fact that with my new format, it might be YEARS before I microwave the item you sent me, it wouldn't really make sense anymore to accept donations.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Are there any big changes coming to your show in season 8? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Yes, but they're cost-cutting changes I'm sure you won't like. Sorry. To be specific, I'm cutting out my intro, putting the disclaimer in the video itself (unless it's incredibly dangerous, like an airbag), and changing the idea verdict around. I'll be replacing the idea verdicts with "SAFE", "UNSAFE", "DANGEROUS", and "DEADLY", with the occasional "STUPID" for waste of time items, but they're not total equivalents. Some "bad idea" stuff was technically safe, so I have to be honest. I'm also switching to standard definition. Not as state of the fart as seasons 1-3, but there won't be as much HD stuff from me.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: After season 8 will you go back to doing regular episodes? How long will it last? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Each season now is 20 episodes. So season 8 will run until episode 280. As far as the second question goes, I don't know. I may even come back and finish off season 8 rather abruptly and be back to a normal schedule. Or season 9 could also be like this. I don't know. But for now, I'm just doing specials.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Are you ending your show because of haters? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: No. I don't give a shit about useless comments from useless people. Most are just drive by spammers anyway.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Will your specials still have (holiday special) in the title? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: No, it's kind of redundant since I'm sure something like Santa Claus speaks for itself.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Is there anything I can do to get you to change your mind? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: About retiring the show? No. About staying on YouTube? Maybe.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: When will the season 8 debut/Christmas special air? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: I don't have an exact date set, but it'll be sometime in the first half of December.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Season 8
<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: What happened to the move to Vimeo?

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Didn't really pan out. Most of my audience did not or could not move to Vimeo, so I reluctantly continued uploading everything to YouTube. I still am maintaining my Vimeo account and do upload to there occasionally as a backup plan

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Do you still accept donations? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Yes.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Someone stole your video! What should I do? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Tell me and I'll contact Google about it. Someone actually did steal and reupload my snow globe video. Their account has been suspended.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Why didn't you microwave the lava lamp or Axe can like you promised? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: I've made lots of season finale promises, haven't I? Well, things happen, usually weather related. I can't microwave out in the rain for obvious reasons, and some items just have to be done outside.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Since you're back to YouTube, does this mean a return to a more frequent microwaving schedule? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: No. At this point, I'm going to be infrequent since it's winter and we're actually getting snow this year. Maybe in the spring it'll be a different story, but for now, there's going to be some gaps in the microwaving time frame.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Are you on good terms with the creators of other microwave shows? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Yes, and we support each other. Jon (of IIAGITMT) supports my show, and dOvetastic and BLHProductions are actually subscribed to my channel and comment from time to time. Each have also approved my videos as responses back when it was an option on YouTube. Unfortunately, fanboys don't really care that they support my show because they're too irrationally in love with the show that they don't realize or even care that the creator does NOT want them to harass other microwave shows.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: What's up with the MicrowaveMeQuickies channel? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: It's the shortest possible format of each microwave episode. It's pretty much Microwave Me for people who think Rocky would be better if it just cut to the end of the boxing match.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Why did you get rid of the music? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: It was too much of a hassle repeatedly giving myself permission to use my own music.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Are you going to drop the "Vimeo exclusive" tagline for season 9? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Yes.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Why do you film so close to metal objects in the microwave? Didn't you know that metal can blow up a microwave, or even your whole house? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: That's a complete myth. I've heard people say that metal "blew up" their microwave, but what they mean is they see sparks and misinterpret it as the microwave getting ready to blow up and spray shrapnel across the room. The truth is, while it's not good for your microwave (it can leave black burn marks and bad smell), it's not going to turn your microwave into a bomb. The only instance I've seen of something of that nature is on Brainiac, and I have reason to believe they "enhanced" that one particular experiment. You're more likely to have your microwave blow up from not cleaning it often enough than from putting metal in the microwave. The things that DO blow up a microwave are pressure vessels, meaning containers where the pressure is allowed to build up until the container burst. The worst I had was a champagne bottle which DID blow up my microwave, but it didn't even come CLOSE to blowing up my house. Even the nearby objects were unharmed. Besides, don't you think there's be at least one news story by now of a house being blown apart? And wouldn't microwaves be banned?

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Season 9
<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: I miss the intro segment and the little "good idea"/"bad idea" jingle. Any chances of bringing those back?

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: I dropped them in season 8 since I heard so many people say they wanted me to just cut to the microwaving. Yet when I actually DID get straight to the microwaving, I get feedback that they miss the old format. So I'm going to leave it up to you guys.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Why was your gasoline more flammable than Jon's? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: I don't know. And to be honest, I don't think it was. I think it was that I dropped the tinfoil ball straight into the cup, I used a single, bigger cup made of plastic (as opposed to their six stacked 4 oz paper cups), and I think the loose gasoline after the third fireball is why the fourth one overtook the microwave.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Okay, you did gasoline, that was awesome. And the axe can attempt was cool, too. And so were a few other items. But why so many lame ones at this point? Aren't we past those things? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: No, and if you think about it, Jon and Kenny have done some mundane items even after producing boatloads of episodes. Look at what one of the last episodes of IIAGITMT was. A carrot. Also the reason for the ordinary food items and unimpressive microwave experiments is the weather. I can't set a microwave in a foot of snow to do road flares or a VCR. But season 10 will be awesome.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: So, when are you going to do the thermite, lava lamp, airbag, road flares, VCR, toaster, and other stuff you promised us? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: In due time. I have the lava lamp right now that I plan to blow up and the toaster so that'll be great. The road flares I had before were duds so I'm going to have to get other ones to microwave. And again, it was winter, so I couldn't just churn out tons of episodes.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: What happened to the joke episodes? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: They proved unpopular so I just stopped producing them.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Why are you cancelling "Will It Flush?" <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Again, it proved unpopular so I stopped doing it. Plus, I'm not really enjoying it like I was the first two seasons. I only did a third season for you guys. Plus, a lot of episodes lost me subscribers so there's not much incentive to keep doing it. However I may bring it back for a fourth season in the future at some point. Possibly a fifth, but I will almost assuredly end it by the 100 episode mark.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: How did you manage 200 episodes so quickly but the next 100 took so much longer? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Most of my early episodes involved microwaving fruit or other types of mundane items. After season 4, the amount of produce experiments has gone down tremendously, with much of the produce items being something projected to be cool and not just something like a banana, an apple, a pear, berries, or citrus fruits. It's easy to mass produce episodes when you're doing simple and basic experiments. Also, seasons 1-3 (and early season 4) were in SD. Season 4 onward is high definition, meaning each episode takes more time to produce. While I could in the past upload a dozen episodes in one day, now I'm limited to 1 or 2.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: On that note, why are your seasons shorter? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: Same reason, and that it takes place over such a long time period in comparison to before. It takes just as long now to produce 20-30 episodes as it used to take to produce 50 or so episodes. And believe it or not, most of my early episodes were filmed a long time in advance. Most of season 2 was filmed in December 2012 for example, despite airing in very early January 2013. Now that I'm not doing nearly as many safe experiments, I can't produce a whole bunch in one day anymore like I could in the past.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Q: Are you going to call it quits after your 300th episode or after season 10 like Jon and Jory did? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">A: No, I plan on continuing as long as I possibly can. I want to produce at least 500 microwave episodes eventually, but I'd like to continue on beyond even that. Plus, I have certain experiments in mind that I haven't done yet that I want to do at some point.

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;">Season 10
<span style="color:rgb(64,64,64);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:18.200000762939453px;">Q: Why did you change your mind and bring back the music?

<span style="color:rgb(64,64,64);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:18.200000762939453px;">A: Two reasons, I missed it and the fans missed it. The only ones who ever told me to "shut up and skip to the microwaving" were the haters, and guess what? The only "speed" episodes that got a lot of views were the "extreme" ones, the gasoline and the lava lamp.

<span style="color:rgb(64,64,64);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:18.200000762939453px;">Q: What about the good idea/bad idea card? Are those coming back? And will the opening change with every season? <span style="color:rgb(64,64,64);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:18.200000762939453px;">A: No to the first one, yes to the second one. I'll update the intro every season with a new clip or two that I liked. The old titlecards are not coming back because they were meant to intentionally look low-budget and my show's moved beyond doing just safe experiments in the kitchen like Hershey bars and Peeps.

<span style="color:rgb(64,64,64);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:18.200000762939453px;">Q: Why haven't you filmed much on the back porch lately? <span style="color:rgb(64,64,64);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:18.200000762939453px;">A: In season 5, I found that the garage was a better alternative and as a result, very few things after season 6 have been done on the back porch. Beginning with the Christmas tree I began to focus more on the garage but the garage may also not appear again since it needs a LOT of repairs at the moment.

<span style="color:rgb(64,64,64);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:18.200000762939453px;">Q: Do you still post videos to Vimeo? <span style="color:rgb(64,64,64);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:18.200000762939453px;">A: Rarely. Every now and then I might mirror one over there if it's been wrongly age-restricted here, such as the silverware one. I'll also do that with the scissors video when I have the time.

<span style="color:rgb(64,64,64);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:18.200000762939453px;">Q: Why were you wearing a different jacket in the lava lamp episode when you opened the door? <span style="color:rgb(64,64,64);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:18.200000762939453px;">A: Actually, nobody asked this and I'm shocked given the amount of Monk-like detectives on the internet. Anyways, while the lava lamp was cooking, I went in the house, the breeze got chilly so I switched jackets. Good thing, too, since the regular sweatshirt jacket would not have protected me from the hot wax and glass.

<span style="color:rgb(64,64,64);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:18.200000762939453px;">Q: Are you FINALLY going to microwave the things you've promised for a long time such as the road flares, toaster, etc? <span style="color:rgb(64,64,64);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:18.200000762939453px;">A: Yes. Sometimes the original experiment goes sour and it takes months to refilm it (my original road flares were all ruined and thus unsuitable for use, I was going to do them back in late September of 2013. I just recently got new ones which I HOPE can be used).

<span style="color:rgb(64,64,64);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:18.200000762939453px;">Q: Now that your experiment total has surpassed Jon's, do you feel like you've won? <span style="color:rgb(64,64,64);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:18.200000762939453px;">A: Won what? We're not sports teams. Besides, IIAGITMT has way more views and subscribers than I do and has done a lot of experiments that I haven't, such as the airbag and dynamite. The only thing I have on them is that I had better results with some of our equivalent experiments (more impressive champagne boom, silly string can blew up, VHS tape caught fire), but overall their show is way better than mine. I view IIAGITMT and dovetastic's show as inspiration, not competition. We all support each other and like to see each other succeed. If you mean the haters who accuse me of copying, well they do it to dovetastic who has twice as many episodes and started his show on the web in 1991 and the origins go back as far as 1979 when he microwaved his first light bulb. And if you remember, my show's origins are from 1992.

<span style="color:rgb(64,64,64);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:18.200000762939453px;">Q: Why haven't you posted new episodes much lately? <span style="color:rgb(64,64,64);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:18.200000762939453px;">A: Check your subscriber box. YouTube ruined it recently. But if you mean why I'm not churning out marathons of 10+ episodes in a day anymore, it's just not feasible. I already explained why in my season 9 clip show's Q&A section.

<span style="color:rgb(64,64,64);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:18.200000762939453px;">Q: You've done produce items every season. Is the tradition going to continue into season 11? <span style="color:rgb(64,64,64);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:18.200000762939453px;">A: Until I had the awesome results of the spaghetti squash, I was going to say "no", but now I'm open to doing things like a melon.

<span style="color:rgb(64,64,64);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:18.200000762939453px;">Q: Why do you think your VCR didn't do anything? <span style="color:rgb(64,64,64);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:18.200000762939453px;">A: It was mostly metal. I thought at least the cord would catch fire, though. It looked like the inside of it did burn a bit.

<span style="color:rgb(64,64,64);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:18.200000762939453px;">Q: Is Jareth actually retired for real this time? <span style="color:rgb(64,64,64);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:18.200000762939453px;">A: Yes. I didn't even plan on using him for all of season 10, but I had no choice. He's permanently retired though due to being so hard to see inside, but will make a few cameo appearances.
