Welcome to a milestone moment in the Blake Cunningham Delirium universe—our very first video episode! Filmed outdoors during that perfect sweet spot between summer and fall, this visual journey introduces a whole new dimension to the stream-of-consciousness experience you've come to expect, complete with a decorative skull backdrop and what Blake self-deprecatingly calls "an extremely flattering camera angle."

The birthday episode kicks off with Blake unwrapping his thoughts about Metroid Dread, a gift from his girlfriend that has been giving him the "heebie-jeebies" when played after dark. His musings on video game difficulty balance between Metroid's rewarding challenge and Demon's Souls' potential frustration offers gamers a relatable touchpoint. As fall approaches—Blake's favorite season for its "spookiness"—he connects these gaming experiences to the changing atmosphere around us.

Things take an existential turn when Blake contemplates an incoming asteroid, questioning the very nature of preparation when facing cosmic inevitability. "What are you preparing for exactly?" becomes a philosophical thread that weaves through discussions of Canadian wildfires, Instagram critics, and music recommendations. His passionate endorsement of Primus and The Claypool Lennon Delirium reveals the show's musical heart, while his improvised explanation of Schrödinger's cat as it relates to gambling decisions showcases the unique mental connections that make this podcast unlike any other.
