>Pekomama made stew and general food talk(2:00:39)
After some light banter about her mother she mentions that she asked her mother to make her stew*, which gets her into the topic of asking the chat which type of stew they prefer, one with a thicker broth(ドロドロ派) or a thinner one(サラサラ派) and while she lets them think she reveals how it is made at her home, which ends up being the thicker kind. Although she continues and says that she likes a thinner broth as well and brings up a time where she was over at a friends house that served a thin stew and since it was very different from how they cooked it at home she was very surprised at it but in the end she found it to be very delicious.
This leads into another question where she asks if the chat mixes rice with the stew or not, after another drum roll she reveals that when she was little she would mimic what her parents were doing and one time she'd see her mother mixing the two together and she tried it herself finding it to be a tasty combination, but despite doing that during her younger years, these days she separates the two instead. It isn't that she finds the mixing unappetizing just that she prefers keeping them separate instead and that the reason for her doing so before was that she would mimic her parents.
She gets the question if she at least eats it together with stew but she says that whenever she eats stew she eats only stew, no rice or bread on the side.
She also says that her mother is the type to try out a lot of different types of recipes once one catches her interest.

*As far as I can tell there is no mention of any specific type of stew, just the generic term.

>Pekomama interested in the streams(2:04:52)
The lead up to this is her saying that her mother watched her bread making archive and tried making the same bread that she tried making, and did it far better than her. The chat reacts in surprise to her watching the archives and Pekora says that lately when she shows herself in the living room her mother will first ask her about the stream, things like: "Are you going to stream now?" and "Are you done streaming for today?". She says she doesn't really get it but  that in general whenever she meets her she'll be asking about it, especially the time slot. She'll always be asking about her stream and brings another example like; "At what time will you stream? Ah, starting now? Do your best!"
Someone asks if she watches them live and Pekora says that she doesn't think so since her mother likes watching TV, and even if she asks Pekora to tell her which times she goes lives she thinks that she will still in general be watching TV, especially dramas. The other day when she went to the living room she saw that she was watching dramas, and from time to time when she goes to get a drink she'll even catch her having fallen asleep watching TV.

>Pekora too watched dramas and a lot of other stuff(2:06:56)
Someone brings up that her usual streaming hours clashes with drama hours which gets her into the next topic of having watched some herself during her younger years, she tries thinking hard but can't come up with anything despite being very sure she did watch stuff like dramas, comedy shows, and variety shows. The show Rinkan(リンカーン) pops up and Pekora says she watched that one since she loves comedy shows.

[What follows is a pretty much a walk down memory lane with Pekora and the chat mentioning programs and Pekora briefly commenting on them. I'll compile a list of all the shows mentioned and if there are no English Wikipedia I'll briefly describe the contents, although the vast majority are just comedy shows in various forms. I also won't be describing every variety show since in accordance with the genre's name, variety shows did a lot of different shit from comedy to music to skits to anything, a more detailed look into the genre can be found here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_variety_show]

She gets the question as to which is her favorite comedian from the golden age and Pekora says she doesn't really know as she liked a lot of different comedians no matter their fame.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GameCenter_CX - This should be far more familiar for a lot of you I reckon. A sort of long-play type program from 2003. Arino is part of the comedy dou that is Yowiko that also did Mujintou Zeroen Seikatsu, so she has seen Arino before, just not his GameCenter program.

She would be lying in her futon with only her face poking out and watch these shows as the majority of them aired late at night.
She rounds off this whole trip down memory lane with her feelings for comedians and she says that she really loves them and finds them amazing, the ability to make people laugh is really a wonderful thing, she truly believes that.

>Another self-edited video in the works(2:14:56)
[I made a translation error in regards to the reason her brothers are not going to be in the video. A nice anon corrected me on that]

She reveals that she is working on another video and that this one is going to feature one of her family members in them. It is going to be a very short video somewhere between 2 - 3 minutes, that tells an old story from her life, she emphasizes that the story itself is nothing special. She will be dubbing over an illustration as she tells the story, the illustrator is someone she has relied on in the past. She doesn't say which family member are going to appear but the illustration she requested is from a time before she introduced her brothers to the chat, so based on that alone they won't be the ones appearing.
She also wants to calm any possible over-excitement about the video as she tells the chat to not expect something grand as PekoNews, and that this is just going to be a quick video featuring an old story from her life that she just wanted to throw out there.

>Will you not play Monster Hunter?(2:19:22)
[This is obviously a bit deprecated now that she has already streamed it, but she does go a bit into her feelings about the game that is worth telling]

She gets the question if she won't play Monster Hunter, and contrary to her rather quick denial before this time she reveals that she has actually been invited to a collab and because of that she has been giving it more thought. Whoever it is that invited her is aware of her reluctance as they tell her that it is fine to reject it since they can go with someone else too. She doesn't feel all that excited about solo play but feels like if she is going to play she should do it now that everyone is entranced by it, since after having seen everyone being all excited about taking down a monster together she thinks it looks like a lot of fun.

She gets the question if she likes the series and she says that she doesn't really hate nor love it, rather that she has a very neutral feeling towards the series. She can't really explain it very well and it isn't because she hasn't played it before since she remembers when she played one title* it was fun, however she is still left with this sort of lukewarm feeling towards the series and she can't remember any really exhilarating experiences either. Although she lets on that if she goes ahead with it she'll surely have fun.
She then reveals that she never played Monster Hunter with friends and never got to experience any of those really hyped up moments and because of that she thinks she never noticed the more enjoyable side of the series. She then reiterates the same point again stating that it has to be the reason for her weak impression of the series.
The chat fills with あっ and apologies for making her bring up such a tragic revelation and she snaps at them saying it is fine to play alone since Monster Hunter is a fun game even under those conditions.

*She doesn't remember which one it was so she never says the title
