i'm sure people have made this joke already and you're sick of it but i've been subscribed to you for a decade, I NEED to make this joke: *ahem*...glad to see those microwaves didn't kill all your swimmers.

[@richardsavings6690]

Congratulations Jon. I know you're going to be a great father. You just look ready. I mean that in a good way.

[@MichaelPower_]

Congrats Jon on the baby!

[@Nofxthepirate]

Everyone will be excited for Labo, until the papercutocalypse (cardboard papercuts are SO MUCH WORSE than regular papercuts)

[@megakovuoutlandergodofdark1126]

congrats jon

[@milesdavis3380]

Glad to have you back.

[@Jon]

I never really left... haha.

[@sidbrun_]

Keep up the 5 Minute Fridays Jon! Definitely some of my favourite videos of yours. As for the Switch, well I was pretty skeptical of it when it was announced but eventually got one last November, I can definitely say it's a great system especially if you travel a bit. I think the games are way too expensive, but that's partly to do with the proprietary cartridge itself. But as for the Labo, it seems pretty clever to me, but I doubt I'll be getting it, the Wii proved to me that I really don't care about motion controls. Some of the cutouts look no different than those Wii remote attachments, but besides it looks like they're sized more for kids anyway. I think the Switch has managed to strike a good balance between adults and kids games.

[@neveroddoreven9476]

Congrats Jon! All the best to your baby and family.

[@awsomewe360]

Im sure you would have seen it, but if not, you should check out the Episode on Super Mario World from the channel Beta 64. Its very interesting as well as entertaining.

[@themartyrofsacrilege]

JP, we need some new tech stuff from you.Maybe something The Screen Savers-esque? I couldn't really think of anyone better to have a 10-15 minute tech related show on KZbin.

[@Jon]

I'll have a new episode of "Tech Check" out tomorrow on the /Jogwheel channel - does that count?

[@Pineappleparty]

Congrats on fatherhood!

[@gobackto82]

Wow I've been watching since the start of The Microwave Show and it's crazy to see that you're going to be a father soon. Congratulations! Best of luck!

[@ThunderDragonRandy]

Daddy Jon!

[@BlueKnight85]

Congrats on becoming a parent soon!

[@ReynaAnyera]

Oh wow congrats on soon becoming a parent! Crazy to find out your kid is gonna be born soon as I'm due myself in February. I remember watching the Microwave show so long ago and to think we'd be going into parenthood in the same year and month nearly is kinda amusing to me at least ;P

[@JoshJepson]

Good luck with the new addition to your family! Y'all are gonna be great parents, man. :)

[@JoeHusosky]

congratulations your life as you know it is over

[@beatle11]

Congrats on soon becoming a father.

[@DeltaPlayer]

** before watching video Opinion will be: no I don’t think it’ll be the next big thing but it’s pretty cool. In other words very vanilla point of view After video Was definitely off. Jon picked a side. Was totally ready to see you play the fence. Nicely done

[@swooved]

Watched a full ad

[@winterburden]

Please let us know if it's a good idea to microwave a nintendo labo.

[@metalworksmachineshop]

No sleep for a few months , you say....... lol congrats dad.. but you'll be losing sleep the rest of you life...

[@Jon]

THANKS FOR WATCHING! What are your thoughts on the Nintendo Labo -- is it a dumb gimmick? Or the future of gaming controllers?

[@bryannguyen8440]

Jon thanks for the Livestream!

[@SlashX_48]

Congrats jon, I havent watched your microwave since 10 YEARS since I subbed! Ik, I'm so nostalgic watching all legacy microwave

[@awsomewe360]

I feel that the Labo does have potential. Defiantly more potential than Wii controller add-ons. I am, however a bit skeptical of the longevity of cardboard. I know the initial $60 includes the software price, but if they do not sell the replacement cardboard for a decent price, I don't see it lasting too long.

[@ToxicMonster5]

Congratulations! ^w^

[@TheFrugalAudiophile]

I agree, Super Mario World is the best Mario game ever!

[@CarlieMaria28]

get labo for emery!

[@tokyodrift8747]

Hi

[@CJMoody]

Wait, you're friends with one of the Rooster Teeth guys? Why haven't you said anything about this until now?

[@Jon]

I totally have? Hahah. Gavin appeared in one of my Adventure Vlog videos way back, and I've tweeted at/about them frequently. You gotta follow me on social media, my friend!

[@0MissElizabeth0]

I dont own a nintendo switch either, never heard of this cardboard shit
