Kepler made a hole in the blinds this morning during Breakfast Stream. Stephen said that they heard a noise downstairs during Breakfast Stream and thought it was Kepler since Sagan was upstairs with them. However, Kepler doesn't usually damage things so they thought it was nothing. Stephen says that in the morning they usually open the blinds of the window in front of the bird feeder so that the cats can watch the birds. But, they didn't do that today so Kepler ended up tearing the blinds so he could see outside.

Stephen says that he has been really productive lately since he's been releasing at least 3 vlogs daily. He tries to release the vlogs at 3:00 PM, 3:15 PM, and 3:30 PM EST, but sometimes he releases them later in the day. Stephen says that he is almost done working on the videos that are going to be released tomorrow. They are having chicken Caesar salad again for dinner because they had leftover chicken. Stephen says that they are going to take a walk around the neighborhood to clear their heads and get some fresh air. He explains that they both work at home so they spend most of their time at home which can get depressing.

They walk around the neighborhood. Stephen says that the best time to go on a walk is around sunset which at the moment is around 8:00 PM for South Carolina. After their walk, Stephen finished working on the 3 vlogs for tomorrow and decided to work on 1 more before bed. It was the Haircut 2 vlog. Stephen explains that he usually shoots the footage first and comes up with the song while editing. He ended up working on the vlog for 5 hours. Stephen mentions that he came up with this song faster than the first Haircut song even though it was a longer song.

Stephen says that when he's behind on vlogs he always remembers which vlogs will take a long time to edit, so he was dreading editing the Haircut 2 vlog. He says that he went to the audio library and found a song called "On the Run" and put it in a GarageBand. Stephen says that he figured out the tempo of the song by going to a website where you can figure out a tempo by tapping out the song. By finding the correct tempo, the bars and beat will be more accurate to what they are in the song. Stephen then wrote the lyrics. He says that he often has the beat on loop while he writes the lyrics. Stephen took about 2.5 hours to write the song. He also mentions that he had to change the lyrics during recording because he couldn't physically say some of the lines fast enough. For example, he originally wrote "My lyrics and some scissors will put you all to shame", but "scissors" is hard to say quickly. Therefore, he changed it to "My lyrics are the clippers".

Stephen says that he is probably not going to be able to do a haircut song for every haircut. He explains that taking 5 hours to work on a vlog is a lot especially when he has other stuff to work on. Stephen says that the he will either make shorter songs or not do songs for every haircut. He then says that Mallory went to bed a while ago, so they'll do the Kit-Kat Challenge tomorrow. The stream for Super Mario Maker 2 - Story Mode Part 2 is also tomorrow.
