That scene of you and Mal walking together like that was just... unbelievably sweet. Wholesome grandparents moments.

[@SuperMCGamer]

Well done Mal, surgery is never fun but I'm so happy for you!! Stephen you are a great supportive husband, next time I'm in pain I'm coming to your house so you can give me a walk every 2 hours.

[@gleegirl23431]

Stephen: “Ready?” Mal: “Yeah” Stephen: “Excited?” Mal: “No.” 😂🤣

[@bjam89]

Stephen and Mal looks like an old married couple when they were walking in a circle...could just be my experience with one married old couple but still.

[@happypasta6]

Isn’t that what they are? 🤔We call them our Grandparents for a reason 😂

[@avzVODs]

Oh man the idea of Mal cussing someone out is beautiful. Considering she is so nice but Happy she's out of surgery and recovering. :)

[@the1stdirectioner171]

For her, the kindest woman I’ve ever seen to casually be like “I did cuss out something today” LMAO. I mean, this is the same woman I first saw playing Puyo Puyo Tetris where she said, “i’m going to have nightmares about this segment for months”

[@radiodread]

Alex and Hayley are great friends offering to come over at 6 in the morning to help you ❤ Nothing beats being surrounded by GOOD FRIENDS. Hell yeah. Big kudos to Mal for that Mr Brightside reference, I had a good laugh at that 😂 Continued good vibes for Mal's recovery!! 🙏

[@jak199527]

having a video titled "i did it 9.11" is really funny. just got recommended this so i have no idea what the context is, but congrats

[@theguy2503]

12:59 Never heard of the song Mrs. Brightside after surgery

[@SappyBecca]

Mal is so strong and has a great team 💗

[@NooBHatteR112]

Having the video title be "I did it" on 9/11 is quite the thing to admit Stephen

[@Rainbopagn]

Stephen taking Mal for her little walkies is so precious.

[@NinjaZelda9570]

The same day you had surgery, I had my endometriosis surgery, so I'm recovering the same time as you. Mal, I wish you a speedy recovery and I want to thank you for sharing your previous surgery experiences so that it could help prepare me for my surgery and alleviate some of my anxiety surrounding it. As a side note, watching the Golden Corral breakfast stream while recovering from abdominal surgery is not my brightest idea since it hurts to laugh...

[@MalMakes]

I’m so glad that was helpful for you!! That was why I wanted to share my experience- to help others~

[@MidniteAndBeyond]

I find myself repeating the same phrase over and over, while watching the "Raleigh Saga" of vlogs. I keep saying to myself "It must be so uplifting to be loved so fiercely." There are just so many instances where the camaraderie and unconditional love and support you all have for one another is at the forefront of these videos and its just so... "heartwarming" doesn't even begin to describe it. This is such a special group of people and I just wanted to say thank you for being exemplary human beings and for showcasing the beautiful bonds you all share with the rest of the world. I hope everyone can experience a family and friendship and living environment thats as profound as yours.

[@user-fc2xk3uv8y]

your support system is so inspiring to have watched. honestly had no idea having that many loving people around was even possible

[@Kairamek]

"A" is one. "Couple" is two. "Few" is three to six. "Several" six to 12 (half to full dozen). Many is 12 to... I don't know, never thought that far before.

[@ThunderHam]

Personally: Few = 3-4 Several = 5-9 Many = 10+

[@Missingnoleader]

Good vibes to Mal and everyone this week!

[@arhums]

Love how even in recovery Mal can make a Mr.Brightside reference 😂

[@MetalFriscoDude79]

I know that we can't do much for you Mal, but just know we wish you the best and you have our support

[@prorjhunter1718]

All the good vibes to Mal on her road to recovery!

[@circesawyer]

So much love for Mal ❤ And big props of Hayley and Alex for being such amazing friends! (Also Mals 'Mr Brightside' cover was amazing 😂)

[@dynamokota]

I watch the vlogs with my mom, and she can't stop talking about how sweet you guys and your friends are 😆 Hope Mal has a speedy recovery!

[@B0redTurtle]

Vlog raid from Cele-Bratory McCoy! So happy for you guys and the weight of this off your minds Edit: When I heard the walkie-talkie, i thought it was me. My friends will radio me every now and then when they dont want to text so I was expecting their voice, not Mal.

[@sergimon9595]

I wasn't expecting Mal to say she cussed out the DOT, lmao! You go girl

[@storms002]

Vlog raid! Continued good vibes to Mal and also everyone else helping

[@Arion661]

The contrast betwen the frazzled hair but the super happy and relieved smile speaka volumes

[@bluelazuli7606]

It's really heartwarming to see your friends helping out so much

[@MissTraceyAnn]

Alex and Hayley are fantastic friends everyone deserves to be so lucky. Continuing to send nothing but the most positive if vibes for mals recovery

[@melodyofmedli]

Here’s to a speedy recovery, Mal! 💞💞💞 You’re all so strong and inspiring. The power of friendship really is so beautiful, Hayley and Alex offering to come over at 6am to help out so you can get more sleep is just so thoughtful. 🥲

[@Shiny_Misty]

SENDING ALL THE GOOD VIBES! Especially from my sibling, who went through this same surgery early 2021. They are rooting for your quick recovery, Mal. I am REALLY glad you guys have Alex and Hayley to help you guys. They are just amazing friends. And those neighbors are also amazing!

[@priestessinred]

I have NOT been able to keep up with the vlogs so seeing on twitch that Mal was recovering from surgery, I panicked and came over here. I'm glad she's doing so well and was able to get it done after so long. As someone who reacts extremely badly to anesthesia, as in my body shuts down and I have to be resuscitated, I get so paranoid when anyone has to go under anesthesia regardless of how "simple" the operation may be according to the doctors. It's so bad my heart sinks anytime "surgery" is mentioned. BUT Mal is well and she's got that big beautiful smile on her face that we all know and love and she's glowing and that's all that matters. She's so tough and seems to have bounced back so quickly and it makes me so happy to see how strong of a support system she has. I have to say, I wonder if the neighbors saw her getting home and noticed that she needed help to move around and assumed she was recovering or injured?

[@TeamRiptide32]

Mal: I did cuss out the DOT. ME: What?!

[@KitKaleid]

Take care of yourselves and continue good recovery! Good vibes!

[@MrArcadia2009]

Best possible vibes for Mal, and Stephen. These two have got this, no doubt.

[@Toyherb_42]

Its so heartwarming to see how everyone came together to help you and Mal Wishing Mal a great and speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹💙💙

[@Rojaniel]

VLOG RAID! Hey vlog.

[@Infinicat]

I'm glad Mal's surgery went well and I'm glad to see you're all doing well! As always I love you all and I wish Mal a speedy recovery!

[@eggnog7489]

Good vibes to Mal wishing you a speedy well recovery Mal ! Good vibes to Stephen and Alex Hayley

[@KillFriskey]

Good vibes to you, Mal, and to everybody really. I rarely use the term "couple goals" but you two looking out for one another through thick and thin is the definition of it. And especially with your group of friends too. Much love to you all. ❤️ Also, throwing in 4:00 for a Fan Favorite just because...been there, lol

[@Jesscaaaa0]

So happy Mal's spirits are high. She seems OK all things considered. Lots of healing vibes going to you guys in NC. I regards to the cat comment : MAN I WISH ...I am but a couch to my 3 girls lmao. If I'm laying down they're on my sides, on my legs..you name it. If I happen to be on my back they're RIGHT on my chest. So Mal + My cats would be a HECK NO! lol

[@CalaCrisp88]

Goodest of vibes to you, mal! Hope you have a good recovery, so happy you got this surgery you wanted

[@GamingWithPatrick87]

Prayers for Mals quick recovery. We're all thinking of you Mal!

[@TimBagels]

Mostly lurker, been hanging around for maybe a decade now. Happy for you guys, best of luck with the recovery

[@NaviNeku24]

I’m so thrilled to hear that everything went well!! I’m looking forward to hearing more about Mal’s recovery. Sending continued good vibes. #TeamMal 💙💙💙

Still to the tune of Mr. Brightside: 🎵You're reducing your chest now We're wishing the best now Mal, let's go🎵 On a less musical note, I'm really proud of you for finally getting the surgery you've been wanting for so long! Continued good vibes for your recovery! 💖

[@FeliciaRondo]

Good vibes to y'all, and especially Mal! Get through this rough time knowing there's better quality-of-life on the other side of it! ^-^

[@lifepawsandhoofbeats4080]

Glad the surgery went well, I usually just want it to be done when I go in for surgery. Also your neighbors and Alex and Hayley r the best

[@Scolipendra]

Good vibes to Mal!

[@LadyOnikara]

Yay! Happy that it went well and that you guys have great friends to help! It would be interesting if Mal had the neighbors on one of her cooking streams someday. They make interesting looking dishes. Blessed Be and heal well!

[@tombtdrmm]

[@TheOtakuArtist]

[@olivinebranch]

[@nickbourdelais3187]

Best wishes Mal!!! Glad you were finally able to do this!

[@Swift4Sweeper]

VLOG RAID! 🎉🎉🎉

[@Epitaphfox]

When my wife was recovering from her own reduction surgery, the first few days I remember getting very little sleep. I'm glad your friends are with you to help ease the stress and responsibility. Good luck in a speedy recovery Mal, and good luck getting as much rest as you can Stephen!

[@boop.snoot12]

Good vibes to Mal! ❤

[@Rojaniel]

Mal sounds so out of it. Man. It's like Stephen with the appendectomy all over again. XD

[@RogueNoiseZZ]

Hope you and Mal are doing okay!

[@TailsFanatic]

Lots of good vibes your way you two.

[@emitheninja1995]

Mal: "i cursed at the road workers"😂 Me: Mal can curse?? 😮

[@Kotenekrazy]

Alex is looking really good today. As usual.

[@Halcryder]

Alternate vlog title: Abs are useful

[@danielareiner2420]

You have such great friends!

[@MicrowavedAlastair5390]

"My old enemy! Stairs!"

[@Fireprincess38fox]

May your recovery be swift and the post surgery shipping spree be fun

[@aqueousbread4170]

I usually lurk and don't say much, but is Mal able to eat sweet things like soft fudge? Nothing too crazy. I've been through multiple surgeries before, so I want to help however I can. I probably can't send fudge directly to you, but I can send an old family recipe for homemade hand-paddled fudge as well as try and record a video for yall to follow along with. I hope the recovery goes well!

[@Ikine557]

I know a few people who've had breast reductions and they've all said it was the best decision of their life. Surgery is always scary, but I suspect only good things are coming for Mal because of it^^

[@Barista.Nathan]

❤

[@gleegirl23431]

That food looks amazing! Can you possibly get the recipe from your neighbors?

[@HotaruHikai]

so what I've learned is Stephen is never allowed to have surgery or Keppy will become extremally sick from the separation. I'm glad the surgery went well. continued good vibes for Mal's quick recovery.

[@IvarSchoonebeek]

Vlog raid! 😁

[@reggiewright3702]

[@CorinaStadler]

Curse you, North Caroline DOT!

[@MrGamerCaptain]

surgery algorithm comment

[@AceWolf456]

Your neighbors are Latino right? At least I think you said that once. In my experience, Latino neighbors have some kind of magic or 6th sense for "something's going down over there, let's send them food."

[@HotaruHikai]

I believe someone said they are Lebanese or at least that was the origin of the first plate of food they where given.
