Stephen woke up this morning and saw a hashtag tweeted at him. It was #ThankYouStephen where people shared kind words and stories to Stephen. People also talked about the series and videos that they have appreciated from the channel. Stephen says that this hashtag might have been started by the StephenMeme Twitter account. He thanks everyone who started this hashtag and everyone who wrote something to them.

Mallory set up a large new cat scratching post that they just got. Kepler was trying to scratch it while it was upside down. Karley had told them about how great this scratching post was when she was visiting them. The cats really like to stretch their bodies up when using the scratching post, so this large scratching post is perfect. They are also keeping the old scratching post since it's still useable.

The cats have never scratched the current couch in the living room, but Kepler started scratching the end of it a while ago. They plan to move the old scratching post by the couch, so the cats scratch that instead of the couch. Stephen talks about how if you get a cat, there is always a chance that they will scratch furniture. So, you might need multiple scratching posts and you need to put them in strategic locations. The cats have always been good about not scratching furniture, but they did scratch the black leather couch they used to have. However, they didn't scratch any of the furniture they got when they moved into the old house.

Stephen usually chooses 3 restaurants with differing menus and puts them into a poll on Mondays for Lunch Bunch. They have been doing Lunch Bunch for a year and a half, but no one ever wants to pitch in ideas for places to go for lunch. Stephen tries to pick fast places where there is no table service since it's cheaper and doesn't require giving tips. But, he will sometimes include a table service restaurant in the poll. He says that he was trying to get people to contribute ideas since there were times where he would put up a poll and they would say that the choices aren't that good. Whenever he asks for their input, they would always say it doesn't matter where they eat for lunch.

For the first week, Stephen made them give him ideas. He would put them into a randomizer which would randomly choose 3 restaurants and he would put those in a poll. Austin told him to add Dunkin' Donuts to the list knowing that he wouldn't be there for the Lunch Bunch for that week. They didn't end up going to Dunkin' Donuts. However, despite there being 60 different restaurants put into the randomizer, Dunkin' Donuts appeared in the poll every week. Austin and Nikki finally voted for Dunkin' Donuts this week. Stephen wanted to vote for the other choices which were Firehouse Subs and Cook Out, but he decided to choose Dunkin' Donuts because it's a ridiculous idea. He says that it's a bit weird going there for lunch, but they have good food like a bacon, egg, and cheese croissant. Stephen says that he will most likely get a doughnut afterwards though.

At Dunkin' Donuts, James is feeling really tired. He was sleeping for the entire duration of lunch. Stephen says that it's probably too soon for him to eat doughnuts. However he might be able to eat a munchkin soon. He then asks if they make doughnut flavored baby food.

Back at home, Stephen says that he isn't sure when Kepler got into his lap. He just looked down at one point and he was already there. They finished playing Resident Evil 6 today. They recorded 10 episodes for Jake's campaign yesterday, 9 episodes for Ada's campaign today, and extra episode covering mercenary mode. There were other modes, but those require PlayStation network and not split screen. So, they decided not to cover them. Stephen says that the more he played Resident Evil 6, the more he enjoyed it. The story is convoluted, but he liked how the different campaigns intersected and how Ada's campaign filled in a lot of plot holes and had interesting twists.

He says that the sad part is that the game is a few years old, so there probably aren't people on PlayStation network playing it anymore. These types of games are played regularly for 8-12 months after the release of the game and this game is already a few years old. Then, he talks about how they had received a PS4 copy of Resident Evil 7 in VlogMail, but he doesn't know if they will cover it. The game is a horror game and it's single player. They have done the last 2 Resident Evil games as co-op, so they don't know how they would cover this game. Stephen then talks about how Mal can finally get back to painting since she has been recording Resident Evil 6 with him for the last 2 days. There are 8 days left until the trip.
