Less Here (Day 3496 - 6/21/19)

Previous Vlog (Day 3495) | Next Vlog (Day 3497)

Stephen says he shaved and put contacts in, but he is still not feeling better. He shows that he can make his voice sound normal if he speaks in a lower tone, but otherwise his voice is still less here than it was yesterday. Stephen says that he has been speaking in a whispering tone all day, so that he doesn't lose his voice completely. He says that he feels more rested since he was able to take that long nap yesterday. Therefore, he was able to do more work today.

Stephen says that he doesn't feel sick to the point of having to go to the doctor's office, so he will just let it naturally get better. They are cooking dinner and Mallory is cooking turkey thighs in the oven. Stephen mentions that Mal is boiling corn only for herself since corn makes his stomach feel bad.

He then talks about how Mal has been having issues with her microphone. Stephen says that he usually does the first pass in editing Mal's videos and he heard a high pitch noise in the audio of her Super Smash Bros Ultimate - "Duality" painting video. He was able to remove the noise, but it made some parts of Mal's videos sound weird. Stephen found out that the noise came from the microphone which when put at a 90 degree angle puts pressure on the cable. He says that the microphone Mal currently uses is the Rode video microphone that he has had for 10 years, so the noise might also be because of how old it is. So, Mal is temporarily using the Breakfast Stream microphone to film her How To video until she gets a new microphone.

They have dinner and Stephen talks about how great microwaved potatoes are. He says that he has had them since he was a kid and that it's convenient. Stephen asks if he should invest in stocks for microwaved potatoes to Mal's disapproval. They are having game night tomorrow, so Stephen hopes his voice will be better by tomorrow.
