Previous Vlog (Day 4420) | Next Vlog (Day 4422)

For dinner, Stephen, Mallory, Debra, and Steve are gathered around the table at Stephen's parent's house and are enjoying some baked ziti that Debra made. Stephen and Mal plan to talk to some friends once they return home. Stephen mentions that Debra and Steve were able to watch most of the stream from yesterday, but were unable to watch the end of it due their internet cutting out. Debra mentions that she was unable to turn off the lights that she got for Christmas last year as she normally controls it with her Amazon Echo. While explaining this, she ends up accidentally turning off the lights.

Back at home, Stephen and Mal said they had fun talking to their friends tonight, and played some Job Job, a game included in The Jackbox Party Pack 8. They mention that it's been their go-to game when recording, and they sometimes play it even after they finished recording Stephen & Friends.

After thanking the patrons, Stephen says that because it's January 1st, he wants to talk about his New Year's resolutions, or goals for 2022. Mal starts off by saying that she's looking forward to working more on her health now that she's recovering from surgery. She's especially looking forward to playing StepMania after her 6-month recovery time is completed. Stephen says that while he's able to play, it's easier to exercise with someone else. While he enjoys playing by himself, Stephen wants to play with Mal. Kepler briefly interrupts by scratching away at his scratching post and Mal says that his resolution is to destroy the post.

Stephen mentions that in the past he's talked about how he's wanted to work less every year. While he's done that over the past few years, he's happy with the progress he's made. In 2022, Stephen really wants to figure out "what he wants to do moving forward". Stephen gives an example being StephenVOD, something that has needed to be done for a while and made sense to do. He goes on to say that he gets stuck in his ways very easily and wants to try improving on this. He also mentions that he wants to improve his health and just eat better in general.

To end the vlog, Stephen asks the viewers what their goals for the year are. Mal asks what Kepler's goal for 2022 is and Stephen says that his goal is to get more food. In the end slate, Stephen says that he wants to get back to taking Sundays off.
