We're Home • 11.7.21

[@HeyItsAJOmega]

Oh god, that gas station fiasco is giving me flashbacks to the petrol shortage and all the panic buying chaos we had over here a little while ago. Glad you guys made it home okay - shoutout to Stephen's parents for going above and beyond to help both of you out, cleaning the house, tidying away and unpacking/arranging stuff to make things as easy as possible for you both. And wow, is it just me or can you tell Mal is feeling in better spirits right away just by being home again? In a comfortable familiar environment, with Keppy for company? Hope the recovery continues as smoothly as possible

[@GlassJoe1337]

I can imagine the drive and being worried about any pot hole or bump so Mal doesn't feel any discomfort. I'm glad the trip back went okay

[@LadyOnikara]

They would really have to worry about that in California. Our roads are crap!

[@GlassJoe1337]

@@LadyOnikara as a fellow California citizen I have to agree. It's why potholes came to mind

Watching Mal beam with happiness as she eats a childhood favorite is such a highlight of mine in this video.

[@the1stdirectioner171]

I want a recipe for that Strawberry Angelfood Dessert

[@rubyhal11317]

I’m sure it’s wonderful to be in the house emotionally, but I believe that they’ve done studies that prove that cat purrs help facilitate healing, so Keppy is doing good work by being a good cat. The whole Georg family is helping Mal!

[@SappyBecca]

Stephen’s parents are a godsend 💙 And Kepler is the best cure for any ailment!

[@cube4547]

It's kind of sweet that he used "home" from undertale at the end knowing he's a friend of Toby. Stephen, Mal, Steve, Toby, Dan, Molly, Reid, Caitlin.... they're all special people.

[@TennelleFlowers]

Your parents are the best! 💖

[@heavybassX]

8:00 That is a sound of a happy Kep

[@enesevanderwalt5900]

Man, I can't imagine how tough that trip must have been. Glad you made it back safely. That strawberry cake is pretty similar to something from my childhood too, except we don't use cake, we use a crust (like cheesecake crust) from coconut cookie crumbs and butter

[@PrincessSunnyoftheSandWings]

Keppy’s definitely (and will be) clingy since you two were gone for so long Good vibes once again #TeamMal

[@celebismyspace]

When you were talking about how nice it was to be home, and the help from your parents, I almost started crying. This series of events is nothing short of emotional. Only positive wishes and feelings from me and my friends and family, good luck Mal, and good luck Stephen. Hope you're enjoying being home with Keppy!!!

[@heyitsfriskey550]

Glad to know I wasn't the only one. Hearing how awesome and loving his parents up always makes me a little emotional myself because my mom passed away a couple years ago and I'm not around my family as much right now thanks to living in another state (something I'm trying to rectify) but it's awesome to know that they have the best support system in the world.

[@veteranJMacfan]

You have the best parents, seriously! They've always gone above and beyond to help you guys out and they've gone even beyond that. So major kudos to them. I'm sure Kep's glad to have you guys back.

[@ChrisFredriksson]

I know this is "old" by now, but really glad everything went well and you both are safe home again!

Hey, man. Kind words never get old.

“A Hell-Scaped Future” we live indeed, I work for a small business here in San Francisco. Our business, heavily depends on the use of Tech. Mostly products provided by Square. There have been times where, crashes, outages, and even glitches, would just overclock our brains. However, when the internet goes out, there is absolutely nothing we can do to provide service. Personally from me, I comprehend the frustration for customers who heavily rely on contactless payments(like cards and digital wallets), and honestly it’s even more Hell for the ones having to fix it and work with it. Glad to hear the long drive ended well. Hope Mal gets all the rest she needs.

[@NekoEcho13]

I love Kepler on the trash can just casually interrupting Stephen as he talks. Such a cute boy. Adorable bean. 😆

[@chaenax1315]

crazy going back 11 years and seeing, what looks like now, is baby stephen and mal, seeing how much you two have grown, both mentally and physically i'm very glad mal is finally getting the help she needed and is on the road to recovery! I wish you both the best in the months to come, remember to stop every once in a while to appreciate everything you two have accomplished!

[@AlanCS1104]

Glad you two made it back safely. And Mal, you’ve been through a lot. Get as much rest as you can. You deserve it. And Stephen, take good care of your wife. You’re a good husband. #TeamMal

[@doan2300]

WOW, food has to be really bad for a negative review from Stephen! Also, fuelling a car sounds more complicated than I thought it was. Stephen's parents being awesome and keppy's welcome home mrow made me smile.

[@TakersSoulGirl22]

I'm glad you guys made it back despite the gas fiasco. Keppy was so happy to see you guys. It was so cute. Also, shout out to your parents. They are awesome. Hopefully Mal's recovery goes smoother now that you're home. #TeamMal

... I love that you used the song Home as the outtro music. Such a fitting touch. "You cannot give up just yet! "[Mal]! Stay determined!!!" --Asgore Dreemurr

Home is the only place for good rest. ❤️

[@user-fc2xk3uv8y]

the support you receive from your parents is truly a wonderful thing. its no question how you ended up such a loving person towards mallory, stephen!

[@ollytomlinsonmusic]

Mama and Papa Georg appreciation ❣️❣️

[@wanderinggstars]

Wow I have never heard of this dessert. I'm from the Midwest but man this is DEEP Wisconsin

[@LadyOnikara]

Parents can be the most wonderful people! With Keppy providing those healing cat vibes, and everyone working together, it shouldn't be long before Mal is 100% again. Much love, and I'm so glad that you guys made it home safely.

[@elijahbenedict1782]

So glad to see Mal is doing well! Best wishes to you both! ❤

[@nishka_w]

Moms (and dads) are the best. I was ill earlier this week and my dad came over to walk my dog and my mom made me comfort food. So glad Mal is being taken care of so well!

[@bowkatiewow]

Your parents are superheroes.

[@snakechu]

Your parents are so sweet Stephen! I'm so glad that you two have their support during Mal's recovery! Also Keppy! Cats always make things better.

[@spinachwrap]

Last year I had emergency spinal surgery and had to relearn how to walk, so all the couch time and careful creeping around the house is VERY familiar to me. Empathy! Good vibes!!

[@stuartdunlop8834]

Sorry to hear about the gas station debacle. Internet issues causing a derailment of services is unfortunately all too common nowadays. Glad you got back either way. Home is where the heart is, and there are no two better sweethearts on my subscription feed. Here's to both of you on the (gas-free) road to recovery.

[@allisonsroom]

That strawberry shortcake dessert Mal was eating sounds so delicious after she described the ingredients!

[@ChibiFighter]

I'm really not trying to insert politics into anything but I really appreciate that Stephen's parents were so kind and considerate enough to wear Masks, I feel like I've seen so much hesitation from older generations of people to wear a mask so this is really nice to see.

[@sinisterjune4585]

I love you both very much and Mal I wish you a speedy recovery. And I am amazed at how strong you are. Rest easy❤️❤️❤️

[@nsArmoredFrog]

Stephen’s parents are an absolute treasure for helping out like they have!

[@filippopratesi2997]

Mal don’t worry about December painting just try to get better we will wait till your better for the next paintings. And when you are back I know you will enjoy it! And we will enjoy it

[@Kelfsword16]

This is just so sweet, so kind, so wholesome. It is definitely what I need this week.

[@SSJ3Goku90]

I like those Breakfast burritos - when they're heated up in the oven. Almost any kind of Hot Pocket/Burrito thing done in the microwave is always gonna be crap.

[@nova_blade1530]

Rooting for mal! Also your mom is such an angel wanting to be there for mal. God bless her shes a sweet woman.

[@NekoEcho13]

Ohmygod that strawberry dessert sounds and looks delicious. I'm gonna need to remember this for future reference to try and make one day.

[@reaper_-deluxe]

That face of regret when you took the first bite out of the burrito was fantastic A+

[@smeake]

I’m glad you guys are home now :) I wish Mal the best of luck in her continued recovery.

[@AwakenedCallaLilly]

You two are going to be so much more comfortable at home. I feel like Mal will recover quicker with a more familiar and more comfortable environment. Also Keppy being around will help too :)

[@xperiment1047]

YOOO! I know this is older but the same thing happened in Kentucky when we were tryna get gas! Weird.

[@KneeDeep2231]

Truly my favorite family to watch 💜

[@SmilingSas]

That strawberry dessert seems very bizzare to me, but it does sounds like all the components for a strawberry cake/tart so Im sure it’s delicious. How nice of mama Georg to make the childhood-favorite for Mal. We’re still rooting for you! I hope those Keppy snuggles gives your gray days of recovering little streams of light!

[@hadla]

Rotfl at the colosseum painting on the wall!! The ball of fire in the corner 🤣 Love it! Glad y’all made it home ok :) I know that boy missed y’all as much as y’all missed him! He will use his warmth to help mal

[@lazarusrat6159]

I'm sorry this feels like it's going to go off the rails but it's 9pm on a Wednesday and I'm watching a man I don't know eat a microwaved burrito and it's making me cry. I don't really know any people outside of my family and my family is kind of toxic, like a lot of families. I um you guys just seem so normal and OK and being able to see into your lives is, I guess, helpful? Seeing people that are OK expressing emotions that don't involve constant bickering and mind games is good. It's good to see that people aren't always like that.

[@ChibiFighter]

Mal is my hero

[@DaisyXLuigi97]

I’m glad she can get better in the comfort of her home. I’m glad that your parents were willing to be so helpful. Hopefully the recovery will go smoothly.

[@stormyandsnowy]

That is a great choice for a song in the outro! I'm sure it's great to be home and I hope Mal recovers as quickly as possible. Love your content so much!

[@CynicalSerperior]

I’m so glad to see the tiny bits of Mal’s progress being shown, and I’m glad y’all made it home safely. It’s great to see Stephen and Nurse Keppy there to help Mal out, and a big thank you to Mama and Papa Georg for their endless generosity. Also, if Mal can’t paint in December, Stephen could paint 😂 I kid, but I think he’d actually do a great job at painting something for MalMakes.

[@meghanvandam5365]

Get well mal

[@arcadia4691]

I'm not suprised it took so long to get home, but be glad you're there. You two got this. It'll take time, but you'll get there. Of that, I have no doubt in my mind at all. And especially with your parents pitching in.

[@motherfaerie]

really did me in there at the end when you started playing carlos's cover of home aha, i had it together and then the tears just started as soon as those first notes started as you talked about your gratitude also, special shout out to deb and steve!!

[@storminmay]

Mal on her throne, as it should be.

[@TheAzuara01]

Just get well. No rush at all.

[@Kinnakeeter]

#TeamMal So glad you're home. You keep taking care of her ok? Get well soon Mal.

That's what my family calls strawberry fluff. I can't believe how many people haven't tried it. Glad to know you made it home safe.

Sound like the dessert we used to have called Ambrosia crossed with an ice box cake

[@drbowser166]

Those burritos are so much better in an air fryer not a microwave. I feel bad for Stephen lol

[@DevinY1]

Glad y'all are home.

[@klonoayxy]

I love your parents Stephen. They do their best to help you guys so much. Get well soon Mal! I know how it feels after surgery and it's great that we have cellphones now so you don't have to yell for him. That's what I did with my husband, just text him to get something for me while I'm stuck in bed.

[@NYBredBamaFed]

I’m glad that you both returned home safely! There’s no place like home. The recovery process will be kind of slow but there will be progress and in due time Mal will be back to herself again. It will all work out fine - it’s just going to require some patience.

[@TheZebbga]

Glad you are home and safe.

[@guguig9746]

I'm still impressed about how well you handled everything, both of you.

[@ericas8272]

Interestingly enough, I had a similar problem getting gas just this week. Went to my usual gas station and no one was there - the lady came out and said the pumps were down. Thankfully there was another gas station literally like not even half a mile down the road that worked.

[@MarcieS]

Glad you made it home safely. The strawberry shortcake sounds delicious!

[@sasquachbug1300]

Ghost is an incredible game. It’ll keep you occupied for a while. Honestly it’d make a good game for the channel. Which brings me to my next point! I want mal makes plays videos. No stephen just mal.

oh man those burritos are so good with salsa though

[@MrCJHardcore]

Here's hoping to a great recovery for Mal so she can eat the good stuff on Thanksgiving!

[@anonymous77379]

Questions for anyone: Are all the gas pumps in the US connected to the internet? I found this very strange, that the gas pumps would not have a manual off the internet override in case of emergency.

[@RomnilWater]

The short answer is no (outside of maybe some smaller independent gas stations). As for a longer answer: I can't say for every gas station but the gas station I work at basically everything in the store is connected by a router that is all connected to a single computer. It helps make sure that data doesn't get lost in multiple places. Generally the registers are hard wired to the system but given that gas pumps are outside and at a comparably larger distance they would be connected wirelessly I'm not entirely sure but with the internet out either the pumps wouldn't be able to read cards or wouldn't be able to connect to the system at all. Given that they didn't give them the option to pay for the gas in cash my guess is the latter.

[@anonymous77379]

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question

Are you telling me that breakfast burrito wasn't 7/7 made of angels?

[@heavybassX]

9:12 That looks like a Strawberry Moussecake.

[@GyroCannon]

As someone who ate a lot of those burritos in the past, I agree that they’re the definition of “meh” I’m more generous with ratings though. I’d probably give that a 5 If you want a truly decent microwave burrito, Tina’s is the brand to get. And that’s only because the red one (spicy chicken, I believe?) is both fairly good (7/10?) and really cheap
