You Don't Do That When You're A Child (Day 3386 - 3/3/19)

Previous Vlog (Day 3385) | Next Vlog (Day 3387)

The vlog starts with Stephen driving the car and announcing that Mallory just released a painting based on Super Mario Odyssey. Stephen mentions that it's a game that he has played only a few times, but that Mal has played through the majority of. Mal says that she actually already beat the game, but she still has to collect all the power moons. Stephen says that the time-lapse video of Mal's painting was released today and the video for the full version will be released in a couple days.

Stephen says that they are heading to Best Buy to meet up with Dan and Lindsey. He says that Lindsey has been living in her new house for almost a year. Stephen says that Dan and Lindsey's TV is very small which could be seen when he went to their house to watch Star Wars. He then shows a short clip from vlog Day 3305 which shows how small the TV is. Stephen says that the small TV was from when Lindsey was still living at her old apartment, but now that she moved to a bigger house she wanted a bigger TV.

He says that issue is that both Dan and Lindsey own very small cars (Honda Civics). So, Lindsey asked them if they could come to Best Buy and help them get the TV back to their house since they have a SUV. Stephen says that they are currently driving through some fog. He also mentions that there were supposed to be some really bad thunderstorms in 90 minutes and winds up to 60 mi/hr. Stephen says that he is hoping that they will be able to pick up the TV quickly and get it back to Dan and Lindsey's house before the thunderstorms start. He mentions that they will probably get some dinner and bring it back to Dan and Lindsey's house to eat.

The video then transitions to Stephen arriving at Best Buy and Dan getting in Stephen and Mal's car. Stephen was surprised that the TV fit in the car, since when he and Mal bought a TV it didn't fit well into their car. They then return to Dan and Lindsey's house where Stephen comments about how their old TV is like one quarter of the size of the new TV. He jokes that now they can watch so much StephenVlog content in 4k. Stephen mentions that they stopped by Jimmyz Original Hibachi House and got food to bring back to Dan and Lindsey's house. Mal mentioned that about 8,000 homes in South Carolina had lost power due to the thunderstorms.

They finish eating dinner and Dan asks Stephen to try and punch a piece of compressed cardboard he was holding. Stephen mentions that he took karate lessons for some period of time and some people could punch through a piece of wood. He then says that he was still a child though and "You don't do that when you're a child". Stephen mentions that he had a brown belt in karate. Dan and Lindsey then lay the TV box on the floor and Stephen said that it was like a magic trick because he didn't see them take down the old TV from the stand. So, it looked like the old TV disappeared when they moved the box down. He then says that they are watching the cardboard channel since the cardboard was still on the new TV when they put the TV on the TV stand. They are then shown watching vlog Day 3359 on the new TV to check if it works properly.

Stephen and Mal return home. There is then a short clip of Mal petting Sagan. Stephen explains that it was also to his benefit that they watched the vlogs on the new TV since he likes seeing how the vlogs look and sound on different TVs, monitors, and devices. He mentions that he often receives tweets when viewers buy new TVs especially when they are 4k TVs. The tweets often mention that the first thing they watch on their new 4k TV is StephenVlog videos. Stephen says that it means a lot to him that people specifically watch StephenVlog videos as the first video on their new TV. He says a lot of people go back and watch the Japan vlogs on their new TV. Stephen mentioned that he started shooting vlogs in 4k years ago which was ahead of the curve since a lot of YouTube videos are still in 1080 HD. He said that it was just something he wanted to do since he was passionate about it.

Stephen then shows Mal's new paining called "Bonneton" which was based on Super Mario Odyssey. He then says that he and Mal are going to bed early since they haven't been getting enough sleep due to them working on some things.
