It's YOUR Painting (Day 3714 - 1/25/20)

Previous Vlog (Day 3713) | Next Vlog (Day 3715)

Mallory is opening a box filled with Girl Scout Cookies sent by Alxamei. They were talking about Girl Scout Cookies on Breakfast Stream recently, so Alxamei sent them some. Mal is really excited about the Toffee-tastic cookies. Stephen says that Mal loves cookies. They are also opening the first meowbox which they got a subscription for from Masae on vlog Day 3706.

The meowbox toys have a sea creature theme for this box. Sagan immediately takes the crab toy out of the box and plays with it. Stephen says that one of Sagan's favorite toys for a long time was a lobster toy. So, it's funny that he gravitated towards another sea creature toy. Mal says that Sagan took the toy before she was even able to take the tag off of it. Stephen thanks Masae for giving them the subscription and thanks Alxamei for the cookies.

Stephen is looking forward eating cookies later during game night. Then, he says that his parents will be arriving in a minute to see the Untitled Goose Game - "Une Oie" painting and he will reveal to them that painting belongs to them. Steve and Debra arrive and talk about how perfect the painting is. They both take pictures of the painting, while Stephen and Mal are knowingly smiling behind them. Debra asks them if they personally know the person who is getting the painting. Stephen says that they have known them for a really long time and he can't think of anyone more deserving of this painting. He then tells them to get used to seeing the painting because it's their painting. Debra and Steve are very surprised. Stephen explains how Lana with the help of the High Heel Gang was able to win the auction.

Mal still has to varnish it, so they will give it to Stephen's parents after she finishes. This is the only other time where the Mal has been able to hang the painting for the winner of the auction. The first time was when Mal hung The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask - "Horrible Fate" painting for Emile. Steve says that the painting looks like a photo of a picture. Debra thanks everyone who was involved with giving them the painting. She talks about how she had posted a picture of the painting on her FaceBook page where several people from her workplace saw it. Debra was telling her co-workers how great Mal is at painting. She really likes to brag about Mal. Debra says that she can't even paint a stick figure, so Mal's paintings are amazing.

Stephen then talks about how one of the publishers of Untitled Goose Game tweeted after the auction ended that he was considering bidding on Mal's painting for the company office. Stephen says that this is the same publishing company that published Firewatch which Mal did a painting of. He then says that he will bring Untitled Goose Game over to their house, so they can try playing it. Stephen says that this game is really accessible even for people who don't normally play games.

Mal ordered a tote bag with an image of the painting before the painting sold. They tried really hard to try and match the colors on it to the original painting. Stephen says that RedBubble did a good job of printing it. Mal says that they have 6 coffee mugs of her paintings and they all look really nice. She has even seen some phone cases with her paintings on them. Debra knew that this painting took Mal really long, so she was hoping that Mal would make a lot of money off it. She says that they will treasure this painting since it's beautiful and because Mal made it.

Later, Stephen says that his parents have to figure out where to put the painting and they want their help to figure out a spot. He then talks about how the painting really transforms once it's varnished. Stephen thanks everyone involved with giving his parents the painting. He is excited that one of Mal's paintings will stick around since they usually never get to see Mal's paintings ever again after they are shipped. Stephen always had a thought that if something happened and Mal couldn't paint anymore, then they would never see any of her paintings again. But, now they have a painting that will remain here.

Today was game night and they recorded Broken Picturephone. They recorded another Broken Picturephone not too long ago. He says that they usually don't record videos for this series back-to-back since they take 2-3 hours to make depending on the size of the group. They can usually record multiple episodes of series like Golf With Your Friends or 1,000 Blank White Cards, but not with Broken Picturephone. They try to have something in reserve for each series though. The topic of today's Broken Picturephone was movie titles described in a weird way. Stephen says that it is one of the best episodes they ever made. He says that people who don't watch this series are missing out on best series on the channel since it's 20-30 minutes of comedy. Mal already went to bed since she was tired. They are planning on having a late lunch with Dan and Lindsey tomorrow.
