that was so loud and I agree Iagree but I'm not taking it back
here's what we've been doingsince we've been gone Wow, we've
(01:15):
been doing, just revamping oursocial media, making sure we
have content, I believe, daily.
Daily?
Look, we can first talk aboutthat.
I don't think your favoritepeople are doing that.
Not with a team of two, they'renot.
That's right.
What are they doing?
So Sundays, we have Guess theTea.
So we have That's Coco's Game,Guess the Bible Character.

And then Mondays, we have ourMonday Motivation.
That's our verse of the day,featuring each of the characters
each week.
Tuesday, we have Bible...
Bible word shuffle.
We have two actually.
We rotate.
So one week is Bible wordshuffle, which used to be
Pa Kola's game now, which isgeneral.
And then we alternate and thenwe do Bible math.
(01:56):
Because I feel like Bible mathis a hard one.
So we don't want to do it everyweek.
Y'all need to read yourscripture.
This is number one.
Y'all up there not knowing howmany days God took to create
creation.
You're not knowing the brothersof Joseph?
I mean, it's an open book quiz.
Like, you can look it up.
But they're not reading theirscripture.
There it is.
Cracking it cracks their soul.
(02:18):
Not cracking it.
And they don't, they can't doit.
They'd rather listen to asermon than scripture.
Shout out to Pastor Phillip.
for saying that I didn't makeit up guys y'all want to listen
to sermons and not open yourscripture speaking of sermons
Wednesday the day everyone looksforward to pastor sermon prep
Wednesdays absolutely so tell meabout that what do y'all what
(02:41):
do you do oh man I turnedsecular into sanctified is what
we do what did you notice aboutthe trends of the type of music
I think that people like R&B,man.
So I'm just seeing, I'm notdoing only R&B, but I just see
that the R&B ones, these little90s babies are loving it.
(03:03):
That's right.
So check out, what is it?
True Ground Nuts, right?
Yeah, True Ground Nutseverywhere.
True Ground Nuts on socialmedia.
It's going to be TikTok.
It's going to be Instagram.
It's going to be, well, notFacebook.
We'll talk about that later.
But sometimes I accidentallypost on Facebook.
I think that's what happenedyesterday.
I liked it.
I said, okay, welcome back.
(03:25):
I meant to put it on a YouTubeshorts.
Anyway, Thursday, Thursday,Thursday is a, it used to be my
hazels.
Name it in three is just now,you know, quick seconds.
Can you name it in a fewseconds?
So that's every Thursday,Friday depends.
If a video is coming out onSaturday, we do a trivia time
where you guess whatever'shappening to tease the video for
(03:48):
Saturday.
So on non video, debutingweeks, we do know the emoji.
So that's the emoji game.
So it's hit or miss.
You either know it or youdon't.
Or you don't.
And who is thinking this hardthat you know they're doing
children's content out there?
I mean, there could be.
I don't know.
I personally don't know that.
And the most important day,Saturday.
Saturday, we put out a songevery other Saturday.
(04:11):
And when we don't put out asong, we are putting out
something called Did You CatchThat?
Which we will go back to pastsongs to So You Don't Forget
Yes.
So that's our week.
That's what we do every singleweek.
And are you following everysingle week?
Did you see the gold that shejust mentioned?
And then you're just therenodding, saying amen.
(04:32):
I said subscribe.
I said like.
I said share.
Talking about amen.
Getting a little aggressivethere.
I'm sick of it.
We worked all summer for what?
Girl.
For 32 on Instagram.
Look.
I'm just kidding.
Thank you to the 32 onInstagram.
It's a beast.
It's pretty bad.
But thank you guys for the 32.
(04:53):
I think we hit over 100 onTikTok.
Yay.
Pretty sad for TikTok, but Ilike it.
Yeah.
If I talked to a room of 100people, I wouldn't be mad.
That's good.
So it's all about perspective.
But everybody listening shouldbe subscribed to there as well.
It just makes your life easier,right?
How not?
And more sanctified.
Let's talk about that.
(05:13):
You're wanting to watch theseother people dancing, gyrating,
doing un- uh holy jokes girlokay but these puppets who have
a holy boldness all right no shedidn't and that's a problem so
that's what we're doing onsocial media yes oh my goodness
(05:34):
we also have worksheets i'm notgonna take credit for this at
all this is all grace you knowthe idea you know was joint
because we needed we knew weneeded something it's like okay
we got videos but what else sowe were like let's make
worksheets for each song so wehave these worksheets they
They've been done since likeJune, but we've been trying to
(05:56):
figure out how.
We've been trying to figure outhow to bring them to the
masses.
First of all, y'all don'tsupport nothing anyway.
Is it supposed to be free soy'all can just suck us dry?
(06:16):
Or are we going to pay for it?
I don't know.
I don't know what we're doing,but it's really how we're going
to house it as well.
Is it going to be a lesson bylesson download?
Do you get the packages bycharacter.
I don't know, man.
I don't know.
Do you get 10 free and then yougot to pay?
I don't know.
I think it's because you don'twant the website to look too
(06:38):
cluttered because we have aboutwhat, over 40 songs now or
something.
And so you don't want just eachworksheet.
So we were thinking, put thebundle based on the character.
It's like, oh, Ma Hazel'sfeatured songs, Pa Kola's
featured songs.
And you won't really know that.
Like off head, the personwouldn't know that, but at least
you're bundling it.
And then you're like, oh, isit?
(06:58):
And then you'll think about itmore and be like, oh, what's
that one song?
And I don't know.
If you are real, real, maybeyou'll get it.
But I don't know.
With the bundling, with thefree, not free, we kind of been
in a holding pattern because Ithink to house it the way we
want to house it, it's going tocost us money.
But we're not going to get areimbursement from that from the
(07:18):
audience.
So...
We've been trying to figure itout.
Well, do we have an ETA?
Yeah, man.
Soon and very soon.
Soon and very soon.
You know?
That's that.
But it's going to be good.
We have already tested it.
We'd already trialed it withHope's kids.
Kids are brutal.
And they said, I like this.
(07:39):
You know?
And some things they don'tlike.
So worksheets to come.
But most importantly, sincewe've been gone, we've been
putting out songs.
I mean, back to back to back.
Yeah, there's been seven songs.
Back to back to back.
We ain't taking no breaks.
So what were the songs?
So since May, we ended theseason May 21st.
(08:02):
So since then, we've come outwith Nothing's Impossible with
God.
Oh, that's a good one.
It's a good one.
Don't Worry was Hope's one.
That was good.
That's an okay one.
That did well.
It got more than a thousand onYouTube.
So then it's a good one.
It's a good one.
I'm just talking about myfavorites.
Okay.
We're not going to get throughthis list.
Okay.
(08:22):
Go ahead.
Sorry.
Delicious Words.
Oh, that's a banger.
We'll see.
We'll see.
That's a banger.
Ten Commandments song.
No.
That was good.
That was good.
Now we released it on 4th ofJuly weekend.
That's probably why it's alittle low.
(08:44):
So don't let the low numbersscare you all.
Yeah, the kids did a great job.
It's a banger.
My kids are on it.
That's where my voice is alittle shaky.
And we brought back rap.
So check out 10 Commandmentssong.
The Beatitudes.
That did very well.
R&B.
R&B.
And uh The amazing Blow theHorn Revelation song.
(09:11):
Oh, yeah.
If you're scared of the endtimes, don't be.
Because this song is going totell you that we win.
Yes.
Heaven open, writer in white.
You know it, you know it.
It's a great song.
He came to a voice.
And her pastor voice killed it.
(09:32):
It probably gave you like, youknow, strained your vocals.
Oh yeah, you know, singing likea pastor is...
It's work.
Right.
But that's to come.
We're going to do a behind thebeats on that one in the coming
weeks.
And then most recently, justthis past week, we came out with
He Has Made Me Great.
Oh, yeah.
It's going to shoot to the top,guys.
Get to it while it's early.
(09:53):
Shoot to the top.
Shoot to the top.
He Has Made Me Great.
Okay?
Yeah.
So that one came out.
And so all those songs, we cameout during the summer.
So we didn't take a break fromworking.
We just took a break from thepodcast.
Can we do something?
Well, we needed content.
