Previous Vlog (Day 3378) | Next Vlog (Day 3380)

The vlog starts out with Stephen filming a piece of salmon that Mal cooked for dinner. He said that it was the best salmon he has ever had. Stephen mentions that it is fresh salmon they got from Publix Supermarket. Mal made salmon with parsley and stone ground dijon mustard since she didn't have regular dijon mustard. Stephen said that you have to like mustard to like this salmon though. He also told Mal that he thought that it tasted better with stone ground dijon mustard than with regular dijon mustard. Mal also mentions that she used salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice. She said that she was originally following a recipe but then she mixed up the toppings and there was too much parsley so she added more of everything else until she was satisfied with the taste. So she deviated a lot from the recipe. Stephen then asks Mal how his Brussels sprouts were and she said they were a little overcooked. Stephen said that it's a difference in preference since he likes them charred on the outside while Mal likes the char a little less.

Stephen then talks about how he and Mal haven't had anything to watch ever since they finished watching Rocko's Modern Life. He says that they made a Youtube account specifically for their television and subscribed to a lot of different channels on there. Stephen said that the channels they are subscribed to don't release videos often so they were relying more on Youtube video recommendations. He said that the recommendations started recommending cringe compilations and that they started watching them and ended up watching more and more. Stephen says that he is not sure what he likes about cringe compilations, but it has an air of comedy because a person is doing dumb things. He also says that there is a weird connection that you have with other humans where you feel bad that they are in that position, but you still want to laugh about it. He then talks about how some people can't watch cringe compilations because they can't handle it, while others are more attuned to it. He said that one of his favorite things to watch is people sing wildly off-key. Stephen said that he watched a video where a woman stood on the back of a pick-up truck at the bleachers of a drag race or something and sang the national anthem off-key to the point that there was not even a semblance of the original song. He said that her inability to sing in the correct key brought him some kind of sadistic joy. Stephen then says that he hopes that the channels they are subscribed to post more because he doesn't want keep watching cringe compilations forever.

Stephen then talks about how he and Mal have been discussing about what show to watch next. They have both been throwing out ideas about a few different shows, but Stephen said that he doesn't want to name any because they haven't decided on a show yet. He says that the hardest thing about watching a new show is that both of them have to agree with it. Stephen says that this is why he prefers watching shorter shows since if one person doesn't like it, then they won't be watching the show for that long anyway due to it being short. Mal then talks about how if the show is short it won't be a show with one series, with another series following that, and future series yet to be released. Stephen then asks Mal if she is referencing the fact that they watched 500 episodes of Dragon Ball Z because he feels attacked.

Stephen then says that he is curious if anyone else watches cringe compilations. He also tells the viewers to comment any links of their favorite cringe compilations down in the comments. Stephen says that he is not sure if Youtube will mark the comments with links as spam are not, but he will go back and accept them if they are marked as spam. He then says that he going to finish eating the salmon Mal cooked.

Kit Kat Flavor Tried: Shinshu Apple Kit Kat

Mal said that it was a regional apple flavored Kit Kat. Stephen opens the wrapper and said that he was expecting the Kit Kat to be red-colored but it was brown. He said that it smells like a red apple and tastes exactly like a red apple. Stephen says that he feels like they have tried this flavor before, but Mal tells him that they have never tried it before. Stephen then says that the flavor is not bad but it doesn't go together. He said that he doesn't want his chocolate tasting like red apples. Stephen says that it doesn't taste bad and it tastes refreshing, but he doesn't want his chocolate to taste like apples. Mal disagrees with Stephen about the Kit Kat tasting refreshing, but agrees that she doesn't want her chocolate to taste like apples.
