This episode finds the Backers ruminating on the theme "Spring is Sprung". There's palpable excitement as PAKA sweaters, backed in season 1, have arrived. Chris drinks a gose which affords Brian space to pronounce his profound disgust in a choice of beverage that is "spoiled beer". The Backers discuss the news that a Kickstarter executive is throwing shade at Indiegogo for fudging their numbers. Brian puts spring in his step with a campaign that will disincentivize sock demons from carrying his garments to the Land of Orphan Socks. Chris bends this fortnight's theme to his will with a very literal interpretation of "spring" to back a new clicky pen, while also backing a once in a lifetime record by a couple that has been performing together for two decades.
