Stephen and Mallory are having Lunch Bunch with Dan, Lindsey, Roland, William, and Michael at their house. They are currently playing Trial By Trolley. Mal is the conductor, so she gets to make the decision about which rail the trolley goes on. Roland tells Mal to say "toot-toot" when she makes her decision. Dan, Lindsey, and William's rail has a young witch using her powers for good but kicks any animal she sees, the very last 2 pandas, and all records of your financial debt. Stephen, Roland, and Michael's side has a young artist drawing their first masterpiece but killing them will release 13 kids that they have trapped in their basement, a working time machine, and a heckler.
Stephen says that the financial debt card beats all of the other cards on that railway. The young artist also appeals to Mal since she's an artist herself. Lindsey argues that pandas tumbling out of trees are cute. Stephen says that the pandas wouldn't have survived without human intervention. They are cute, but they are kind of stupid. Stephen says that he knows since he's seen pandas in Beijing. Mal chooses to run over the railway with the witch, pandas, and financial debt. She explains that she can deal with the heckler on the other railway since she gets YouTube comments anyway. Then, Kepler meows at Mal's feet and leads her to the fridge. Stephen says that he probably wants dinner even though it's still too early for that.
Stephen says that starting from now, during the first week of a month, they are going to host Lunch Bunch at their house. They are going to have lunch and play board games. Stephen says that Trial By Trolley is a really good game. They had played a quick round of Really Bad Art and now they are playing Blokus 3D. Afterwards, they play the Blockbuster Party Game. It is Mal vs. Roland for the Movie Buzzer Battle round and the topic is "movies where it snows". Mal wins since Roland ran out of movies he could think of. They move on to the Triple Charades Jeopardy part where they have to get 1 card from every genre in order to win. Stephen, Mal, and Dan's team had 7 cards and Roland, Michael, William, and Lindsey's team had 8 cards. Stephen says that both teams were tied 7 to 7 for 25 minutes.
Later, everyone just left because there was a break in the storm happening outside. Stephen says that in the past when they've hosted Lunch Bunch at their house, people have usually stayed until evening. He mentions that at some point they ordered pizza for dinner. Stephen describes the time spent with friends as a fun and nice social time to relax and play games. There is a bad storm tonight and the weather is especially severe on the west side of South Carolina. Stephen says that they know people who are living on the west side and that there is a lot of wind. Mal says that there will be 40mi/hr winds tomorrow. They both mention that they sleep well during stormy weather. Stephen then goes to the window to show the pouring rain and lightning outside. Then, he talks about how weird it felt to have a day off since they have been so busy with getting a new car. Stephen says that he wants time to work. Before bed, they are going to have a Kit Kat they received during Febraury VlogMail.
Kit Kat Flavor Tried: Sweet Cinnamon
The Kit Kat has a slight cinnamon smell and a mild cinnamon taste. Mal says that cinnamon is one of her favorite things especially when it's on desserts like cinnamon rolls, cinnamon doughnuts, and cinnamon cookies. Mal says that it tastes like sweet cinnamon and not the cinnamon in Red Hots, but she wishes there was more cinnamon. Stephen says that it tastes like if someone poured Cinnamon Toast Crunch over a Kit Kat. After the Kit Kat, Stephen starts to crave Cini Minis from Burger King. Stephen says that he had them in middle school, high school, and college. He says that they probably weren't even good, but nostalgia is powerful. Mal is craving some Cinnamon Coca-Cola which was only available during the holidays.
They are going to clean up the snacks before going to bed. Stephen says that he will finally be able to do some work tomorrow. He then tells viewers that taking time for yourself and having social time is important.
Notes[]
- In Trial by Trolley, one player acts as the Trolley Operator and must choose where to send a murderous, out of control, trolley.
- Really Bad Art is a game where each player receives a topic that they have to draw in 6 seconds. Then, all the players try to match the drawings to the corresponding topics.
- Blockbuster is a movie game that has 2 parts:
- Movie Buzzer Battle: Both teams are given a topic, such as "Movies with dogs". There is a 15-second timer and players have to take turns naming movies related to the topic, and then hit the buzzer to reset the time. Whoever runs out of time hands the advantage to the other team, which takes control of the next round: Triple Charades Jeopardy.
- Triple Charades Jeopardy: Teams have to guess the movie, while you act it, use one word, or quote from it.
- Red Hots are cinnamon flavored hard candies
- Cini Minis are bite-sized cinnamon rolls from Burger King
