The Inventions Episode

Maybe we got overconfident after inventing this brand new form of multimedia entertainment. We thought coming up with another genius invention would be easy for us but we realized we don't know anything and we don't know how to do anything. Have you ever tried to be inventive? It's harder than it looks. Oh - but Dave does a full-on freestyle and at least he’s good at that. Thanks for watching - inventors and non-inventors, we respect you!
