You People Are Trying To Kill Me (Day 3402 - 3/19/19)

Previous Vlog (Day 3401) | Next Vlog (Day 3403)

The vlog starts out with Stephen saying that they were drying some furniture covers they washed last night. He said that they had to finish putting back all the furniture covers and cushions in living room before Breakfast Stream starts in 15 minutes. There is then a time-lapse of them putting couch seats back and vacuuming. Then, there is a clip from Breakfast Stream where Stephen and Mallory are petting Sagan.

Stephen said that they usually start Breakfast Stream 10 minutes early, but he struggled to get stream to work so they started a bit late. He said that he would spend today fixing the stream box since he has been having problems with OBS crashing multiple times. Stephen mentions that he had Chaz look at the crash logs and he couldn't figure it out. Stephen thinks the problem lies with the scene file. Stephen explains that OBS is divided into the profiles and scene files. He said that Chaz built this scene file back in December and they've been using this same file for the last several months. Since the problem was related to the scene file, Stephen made a completely new scene file.

Stephen talks about how tomorrow is his birthday. Stephen and Mal go to pick up Stephen's parents since they wanted to go out to eat to celebrate Stephen's birthday. Stephen's parents recommended eating at Chesapeake House. He mentions that he has never been here and his parents went for the first time 2 months ago. Stephen and Mal were both amazed that the restaurant brings cinnamon rolls to the table before the meal. Stephen ordered gator bites and a salad, his parents ordered fried shrimp, and Mal ordered flounder and cold shrimp.

They return to Stephen's parents' house. Stephen's mom got him a brownie and put candles on it. She said she got a brownie since she couldn't find a cupcake that didn't come in pack. Stephen says that he is so full that he can't eat it. He says that he couldn't even finish his salad. When the check came, Stephen's dad told the server it was Stephen's birthday. Stephen says he wasn't expecting anything since it was the end of the meal, but the restaurant gave him a free key lime pie which he felt obligated to eat. He then exclaims "You people are trying to kill me" (by making him eat too much). His parents and Mal sing him "Happy Birthday", while Stephen feels like vomiting from how full he is. His mom then suddenly mentions a surprise gift which was Halo Top Mochi Green Tea Ice Cream. She then adds that she actually got 3 pints of ice cream. Steve then tells Alexa to sing happy birthday. Stephen then exclaims "Oh dear god! Now the robot's singing to me! Emile do you see what you have done! You've given them too much power!"

They are back at home and Stephen says that Mal is working on next piece for March. Stephen said he found that the reason for the crashing was due to the external plugins for the audio. He realized that Chaz couldn't find the issue because he didn't have these external plugins in his set-up. Stephen says he came up with a solution that excludes the external plugins. He mentions that Austin and Nikki are throwing a party to celebrate Austin and Stephen's birthday since their birthdays are close to each other.
