Stephen and Mallory just finished the 3rd The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening stream. Stephen says that he's getting the hang of doing Twitch gaming streams. He's also getting used to being able to balancing trying to create an entertaining live stream environment while also making episodes for YouTube. Stephen talks about how is background is in video production, so he's more used to recording videos than live streaming. He says that a background in theater would probably help more with live streaming. Stephen also notes how similar yet equally different it is doing Breakfast Stream compared to gaming streams.

He talks about how he got more used to streaming after doing gaming streams every week. Stephen first started off streaming by doing variety game streams, but those were only once a month. After that, he started doing gaming streams every 2 weeks and now he's streaming every week. Currently, they are only streaming 1 game, but Stephen hopes that they can get to a point where they can do variety game streams every week. It's something that he really wants to do since he wants to try out a lot of games from his large game collection.

Stephen says that people enjoy the The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening streams and they both have fun as well. He finds this stream interesting since they're playing both the GBA and Switch versions side-by-side, so it's like they're creating 2 different products. Stephen then talks about how the YouTube viewers miss out on a lot of extra funny content that the Twitch viewers get since these moments happen in between the recordings for the episodes. They don't know how many weeks it will take to finish up the game, but they definitely wants to finish the game before Extra Life 2020 which is a month from tomorrow. Stephen reminds the viewers that Extra Life will be on November 2nd. He doesn't know if the vlogs will be completely caught up by then, but he will release a video to let people know that Extra Life is happening. Stephen says that he's really looking forward to it.

Stephen says that they're having a fancy snack of cheddar and deli meats. When he and Mal went to go return Mal's glasses at Costco, they decided to have a look around. They really wanted to have some cheese and meats as a snack. So, they got really excited when they found a charcuterie pack with 6 different kinds of meat in the cheese section. Stephen notes that getting a charcuterie pack from Costco is cheaper than getting it at a grocery store. He explains that it's really expensive to buy deli meats on their own. Mal adds that you would also get only 1 type of deli meat and not a variety of meats as you would buying a deli pack. Stephen says that buying the pack is still expensive, but it's still cheaper compared to buying all the ingredients indiviudally.

Stephen says that he can't even pronounce the name of the deli meat they're eating. Mal says it's called Calabrese salami, but isn't sure if she pronounced it correctly. Stephen says that one his favorite things is specialty spiced meats since they have so much flavor. But, he notes that there is a bit too much meat for a nighttime snack. Mal explains that she cut some cheese and put all the deli meats from 1 pack onto their plate. She adds that she can just put the leftovers in a Ziploc bag if they can't finish it. Stephen doesn't think they will be able to finish it since it's a lot of meat and the flavor is very bold. He then talks about how the cheese they are eating is 3-year aged cheddar. Stephen doesn't know know if he's ever eaten anything aged for that long. He describes the cheddar as really sharp, but good. Mal mentions that she decided to wrap the cheese in the salami to make a salami taco.

Then, Stephen talks about how he's really glad that they started doing gaming streams every week. He adds that they should not add anything extra right now and just focus on doing 2 Breakfast Streams and 1 gaming stream every week. Stephen then goes back to talking about how there is too much meat on the plate and how it's going to take several days to eat all this meat. He says that they probably can only eat 3-4 pieces of the salami at most since the flavor is really strong. Stephen adds that salami is probably also not the most healthiest thing in the "meat kingdom" (meat food group).
