Not because it is a particularly difficult song to play but because I was laughing to the point of tears as Michael yelled “PAH YUP PAH DUB DUB TIMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAY!” into the microphone.

Other highlights include Stephen trying to play the drums with one hand since he was eating a fudgicle. I was totally waiting for him to get confused and smash his creamy chocolate snack into Greg’s drum pad.

In case you’re wondering, no, I have no idea where that place Stephen mentioned for Dot Com Pho this week is located but I’m sure we’ll figured it out by Saturday.
