  SPEAKER_04: They show up, and I'm not just showing up physically, but sometimes a call comes, a message comes in in the yeah.
• 11:43
  Corie: Yeah.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_04: You're being taught of your loved.
• 11:45
  Corie: Of course, of course.
• 11:46
  Corie: That's a blessing.
• 11:47
  Corie: That's a blessing.
• 11:48
  Corie: Most people who start businesses or ventures, and if you can't always say that, you don't always have that.
• 11:53
  Corie: Like my first business was with my father.
• 11:56
  Corie: So at least he knows I don't do too much work, right?
• 11:58
  Corie: I'll talk to you.
• 12:00
  Corie: So as a father, you at least you know you have somebody who has your back, and you are the so there's that trust that goes into it.
• 12:05
  Corie: So you all approach everything with that, business-wise as well.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, the business of everything.
• 12:10
  Corie: So Toteke, you're moving on now to the flower videos, or you're just looking for different options to do how where it went from there.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_06: So I think people had like the flower video.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_06: So that's what's the biggest request we had.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_06: So we kept that out for a while.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_06: And it was going really, really viral.

  Corie: You're doing it now, you don't know that.
• 12:34
  Corie: No, yeah.
• 12:34
  Corie: People fed up on the same call.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_06: I think uh with anything, yes, with the content, you have to switch up.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_06: You can't keep doing the same thing all the time because people get fed up easily.
• 12:44
  Corie: They're not requesting it.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, no and then website.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah.

  Corie: Well, I mean, in them early days when you're seeing it, uh maybe I should ask you, Shindy.
• 12:53
  Corie: You go tell me the truth.
• 12:54
  Corie: I feel it's a long fabric, they know you're the biggest truth talker, so they're not putting it too close.
• 12:58
  Corie: Right, KP is really slam people head hard and through it, is it?
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_05: It's only looks so really she's soft and she's a mash.

• 13:48
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I do tricks.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_03: I I can't say about Avril.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_06: Avril, what I see with Avril is really just how Avril isn't.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_06: Avril most times lost.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_06: You don't know what it's going on.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_06: I do understand.
• 14:03
  Corie: Avril, let us wait and then they're sitting for you all.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_06: We don't have to, we don't want to fake it, Avril.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_04: So listen, if I know I need to be aware of something, I get a breast.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_04: There are sometimes, yeah, they will really talk about contents, but I never quarry, okay.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_04: So I said I'm researching up.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, okay.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_04: And if it's like a very you know who is correct, make a very you know who is current?
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_03: But trust and believe, I am going to do research.
• 14:34
  Corie: Yeah, all right, all right, all right.
• 14:35
  Corie: So you talk you talk behind the scenes thing because we have a pre-call, right?
• 14:39
  Corie: And as of course, as normal, I late for the pre-call.
• 14:42
  Corie: I don't forget we have pre-call.
• 14:43
  Corie: So I'm hustling now.
• 14:44
  Corie: The call from my next number that's like begins on the call, join the call.
• 14:47
  Corie: And as I press the thing, I hear hello handsome.
• 14:51
  Corie: I say, Oh Lord.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_06: That's Avri.
• 14:54
  Corie: But about five minutes later into the call, she said, um, what's your name again?
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_05: So I said, she always hustles Abri, yeah.
• 15:03
  Corie: But I guess y'all, you're y'all not just friends and and more family than friends in some of the videos that we see.
• 15:10
  Corie: Is it the same way y'all feel that way with the community?
• 15:12
  Corie: Because that could be a difficult thing.
• 15:13
  Corie: Like for me personally, like when I see comments, I have a hard time with comments.
• 15:17
  Corie: I want everybody to like what I do, and you see the one comment where people put somebody say something.
• 15:21
  Corie: I think I just respond to that a hundred times, at least in my mind.
• 15:24
  Corie: You know what I mean?
• 15:25
  Corie: But how y'all deal with that in terms of the comments?
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_06: If I hate comments, but the hate comments.
• 15:31
  Corie: Yes, yes, yes, yes.
• 15:32
  Corie: Well, you had to call it constructive criticism, right?
• 15:34
  Corie: They don't say it's hate.
• 15:35
  Corie: Okay.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_05: It depends on the intensity because some people really cross the line, so you get blocked one time.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_05: Right.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_05: How are you all the block people?
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they block me so long enough.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_04: Well, you're going to block this.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_04: But I just want to see.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_04: But uh bubbly, so I may respond and then I put her emoji with her last time.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, you respond bubbly too.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_04: It's very subtle, and then I laugh at the end.
• 16:00
  Corie: Really?
• 16:01
  Corie: I would imagine that based on the work you're all doing and uh how cheerful your nature is, that you all don't get much of that.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_05: I wouldn't think that's it's not any majority, but we do get it.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_05: We take the crit criticism.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_05: If it's not that bad, we okay with that.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_05: Not everybody will like it, like it.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_05: So we're okay with that.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_05: But when they want to get disrespectful, no, yeah, people have real on them.
• 16:22
  unknown: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_06: And so now I realize that people will try to drive our wedge between the friendship.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_06: Yes, comparisons, yes, they're like a compare.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_04: So you know they will say team, Avril, team, and nothing wrong with that.
• 16:33
  Corie: Okay, okay, okay.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_04: But uh there are times they would come and they were like, but why shouldn't you doing this?
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_04: You should let Avril do this and television.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_04: But once we see that, yeah.
• 16:42
  Corie: Okay, I understand, I understand.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_04: Because everything we do, we would have endorsed, of course, you know.
• 16:46
  Corie: So yeah, and I guess you all record you recorded like batches, so you all do us set out one day.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_06: Saturdays, and that's for the week.
• 16:53
  Corie: Yeah, I understand, I understand.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_06: Monday to Friday, yeah.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_06: So we don't have the time to record our video every day.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_06: So we don't live in the same place either.
• 17:02
  Corie: So yeah, people feel only living together, you know.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_06: People feel like people invested, yeah.
• 17:08
  Corie: I'm all shocked to see all they come in the front counting and say what is going on.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, what is for content, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 17:15
  Corie: No, there's a competitive spirit amongst you all.
• 17:17
  Corie: So when you say excited team Shinzy, that's what we feel home to.
• 17:20
  Corie: Yes, yeah, I could tell you tell you who is better on the most.
• 17:23
  unknown: Yeah.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_05: Oh wow, laugh coming outside.
• 17:31
  Corie: Only time I see the challenges, say I've rolled out.
• 17:36
  Corie: But that's a normal thing with your old friendship, like that competitive nature, or that's just on camera.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_06: Well, that's for the games, yeah.
• 17:42
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, otherwise, we don't have a reason to be competitive with each other.
• 17:47
  Corie: And you find that with your fans is like that.
• 17:49
  Corie: They they they are the favorites.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah, everybody is the favorites.
• 17:53
  Corie: Yeah, so you're building into this game that and I if I remember right, when you all started off, the name Cheerful Company was not wrong.
• 17:59
  Corie: No, it was my page.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_06: It was hopping, so yeah, it was.
• 18:05
  Corie: So, what make you decide then or what what stage you're realizing that this is because I assume that is our business.
• 18:10
  Corie: I love the name Cheerful Company.
• 18:11
  Corie: I think it represents you all.
• 18:12
  Corie: Like I remember seeing y'all put that out, and I feel good.
• 18:15
  Corie: I was like, Yeah, does this look like the direction?
• 18:18
  Corie: So, what made you what triggered that it's is our business?
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_06: At the time it was what what um at the time we came, but we came up, maybe the name the name came from the comments.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_06: Yes, getting so much uh beautiful comments saying that they love us, we helping them with depression and different things, and we realized we were bringing share.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, so when people say we helping them with depression, we came as confused at the time because, like, how are you helping you by me doing a video?
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I couldn't understand.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_06: It was hard to understand.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_06: Um it was hard, but a lot of times we would see the word che.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_06: We bring in check, and yeah, that's where the name chef company came out.
• 18:57
  Corie: I understand, I understand, and kind of represents who you all are too.
• 19:00
  Corie: Yeah, I saw something random where it said that y'all will participate on this fast-forwarding a little bit in uh suicide prevention activity and stuff.
• 19:08
  Corie: You all find yourselves in the heart of those types of things, like those initiatives.
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_05: We would like to do more, but you needed one thus far, yeah.
• 19:15
  Corie: And I mean, the the feedback is good, the response state was good, yeah.
• 19:19
  Corie: Yeah, you could connect with it now, like how y'all are helping people with things like depression, because that's a heavy load for somebody to say help.
• 19:24
  Corie: And then that's not the intention assuming, right?
• 19:26
  Corie: All you're not doing these videos, yeah.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_05: But we understand why, because when you scroll your feed, you see a lot of negative things, and then they pop up on chef for company, so it's like a sunshine in the middle of the darkness, you know.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, so we understand why we feel our way.
• 19:40
  Corie: Yeah, I think also at at least I don't know if it's just here, but um I can tell you from the comments here.
• 19:46
  Corie: When I say no here and a guest say certain things, as soon as they say that, I was like, that's numbers immediately.
• 19:51
  Corie: Chaos, yeah, yeah, see it any moment.
• 19:54
  Corie: And for me, usually is when the guest says something controversial or something about somebody else and that kind of thing.
• 19:59
  Corie: But y'all started going viral for something that had nothing to do with any of that, it's just almost y'all peeing yourself.
• 20:06
  Corie: If you're a business organization or brand looking to reach an engaged and growing audience, the Cory Shepherd Podcast offers opportunities to sponsor, partner, and advertise.
• 20:16
  Corie: You could check out the email address in our YouTube description or via the link in our bio on Instagram.
• 20:22
  Corie: We need the money like uh Max and House, you remember that you'll be in yourself.
• 20:29
  Corie: So at that time you started Cheerful Company, the goal is to just monetize, the goal is to make it into our business.
• 20:33
  Corie: What you're thinking at our point?
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_05: At that point, no, we still didn't understand.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_05: I think we learned by doing it so when we started, we had no idea it was turning into our business, we had no clue.
• 20:44
  Corie: So even in the early days, you're always getting like brand calls and things, collaborations on them kind of thing.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_05: In the early days, no.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_05: But when we did start, that is when we realized what this could be our business.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, really?
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_05: When big brands reaching out, you're like, Wow, yeah, yeah.
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_05: So shock.
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 20:59
  SPEAKER_05: Really?
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_05: Shock.
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 21:01
  Corie: I'd ask all of these selfish questions.
• 21:03
  Corie: You know, big brands is reach out for free, like all these reach out here for free.
• 21:06
  Corie: There's always ways of coming out.
• 21:09
  Corie: Let me take a drink too.
• 21:11
  SPEAKER_05: They really be trying it.
• 21:14
  Corie: They screw out earlier, like, come on, who's this coming up here?
• 21:17
  Corie: Come on, do this, put this on all the video.
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_06: That's why like you know, I must jump in my car, burn my gas, and appear.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_04: I I think sometimes the chair confuses persons, or sometimes persons the testing, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 21:33
  SPEAKER_04: They're testing.
• 21:34
  SPEAKER_04: So as much as there's a lot of laughter and cheer, we always ask what to exercise wisdom.
• 21:39
  Corie: Of course, of course.
• 21:41
  Corie: Yeah, that's another thing.
• 21:42
  Corie: You all keep God at the center, you think, 'cause I feel I could beat all in any one of them games, but the Bible one.
• 21:46
  Corie: I mean, I feel so, particularly you keep you.
• 21:49
  Corie: I feel the colors game.
• 21:50
  Corie: Yeah, I feel like any colours, you're having a rough time.
• 21:53
  Corie: All right, good.
• 21:54
  Corie: What's it?
• 21:55
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, but you see, it doesn't happen when I come in, eh?
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, that's true.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_06: Let's never know.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_06: I can't testify to that.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_05: You never know.
• 22:08
  Corie: Uh yeah, well, I guess I guess you catch a length.
• 22:10
  Corie: Yeah, anything except the colours.
• 22:11
  Corie: We go and they say yellow, your hand going on yellow with your brain.
• 22:14
  Corie: All right, we go set it up now.
• 22:17
  Corie: People behind the scenes set it up.
• 22:19
  Corie: But yeah, I suppose with the games and those types of things, I was surprised, like initially looking at it.
• 22:24
  Corie: Because you see, when I see people doing good things and I see people young, looking like myself, and have an energy and a vibe that your things transmit through when you're home and you're feeling your energy.
• 22:33
  Corie: I can't my mind immediately says they had to make money doing this.
• 22:38
  Corie: Because the truth is, we could talk from experience.
• 22:41
  Corie: If you can't make money do anything, I don't know how long you could do the thing for.
• 22:44
  Corie: Real life is still real life.
• 22:45
  Corie: That our on-screen thing is is tricky.
• 22:48
  Corie: And I wondered if when in the outreach and people come in to do things from the time I see it, I see well, NFM.
• 22:54
  Corie: If it's flower, well, that's time I saw this powder as I was thinking Johnson and Johnson.
• 22:57
  Corie: So you never get them never reach out to it.
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_05: No, we actually reach out to them, no response.
• 23:01
  Corie: Really?
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_06: Oh use real flower, you know.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_05: Come on.
• 23:10
  Corie: Shouldn't see who uses most flower from your experience, boy.
• 23:15
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, for real.
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_06: No doubt.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_06: Sometimes, sometimes we are not sure where the flower because they can dump dumpling the flower.
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_06: Kind of flip.
• 23:31
  Corie: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 23:33
  Corie: So even up to the point you're starting to monetize something or starting to tune into the business.
• 23:37
  Corie: You're getting them kind of calls, like people who set in budgets.
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_04: We get calls, but we have to be careful of the calls that we respond to.
• 23:45
  SPEAKER_04: Because because we are bringing cheer, we we try to go to the direction of all genders, age groups, right?
• 23:53
  SPEAKER_04: And we want to make sure that the humor and the fun remains clean.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_04: So depending on the brand that's coming to us, at least, you know, we would be wise how we respond and what we do, what we do so.
• 24:04
  Corie: Yeah, it had a line is what happened with you.
• 24:08
  Corie: I understand.
• 24:08
  Corie: I understand.
• 24:09
  Corie: So you're doing this, and you're you're starting to see traction at that point in time.
• 24:13
  Corie: What are 30,000 turning into?
• 24:15
  Corie: You're starting to see hundreds of thousands on and millions of views at some point.
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, and then outside of the Caribbean, we get comments where we don't even understand what they say.
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_05: Different languages, under the comments, like yeah, when we check the analytics of South Africa and these places, it was real, yeah.
• 24:30
  Corie: Yeah, I see it in the Caribbean a lot.
• 24:32
  Corie: Like in the comments, even when you're talking about team Shenzi or whoever it might be, I see the people from different islands, all the comments full of flags.
• 24:40
  Corie: There's always people saying they're representing from these areas and so anywhere in your mind, KP, this happening in terms of inception, like when you call them over to do this kind of thing.
• 24:48
  Corie: That you have that vision in mind of where that would go.
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_06: I have no idea that this what I started would have ended up into this.
• 24:57
  SPEAKER_06: But I'm also I also feel like this has a lot to do with go, yeah.
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_06: It's not just Shin Z, Avrid, and myself to come together and do this.
• 25:04
  SPEAKER_06: I feel like God has his hand in this.
• 25:08
  SPEAKER_06: This is not just us.
• 25:09
  SPEAKER_06: So I think he wants us to bring share and that's why it happened.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_06: That's why it's happening.
• 25:15
  Corie: Gotcha, gotcha, yeah.
• 25:16
  Corie: So that's still at the core of what you're doing now in terms of yeah, okay.
• 25:19
  Corie: So, how you go about deciding on what games come in next until you have really no idea this, right?
• 25:24
  Corie: So I would just go to show that's not.
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_03: So, why you can't say that?
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_03: I'm just saying, you know, I want to talk about it.
• 25:33
  Corie: Because if Flow was successful, I would have I would have made the mistake of probably just sticking with that the whole time.
• 25:37
  Corie: How you deciding what next?
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_04: So, what I would want to say is that each one of us that is sitting here on this panel always pray.
• 25:45
  SPEAKER_04: We keep God in the center of cheerful company.
• 25:48
  SPEAKER_04: So sometimes someone will get options.
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_04: You will say, Hey, I'm hearing this, and we know it's not by chance.
• 25:55
  SPEAKER_04: And we understand that even when the product comes out, everyone is cheerful, lives are transformed, and God is glorified.
• 26:03
  Corie: I really answer you.
• 26:04
  Corie: What the hell is going on here, boy?
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_06: Okay, but um, we talk a lot.
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_06: We talk a lot, yeah.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_06: A lot, a lot.
• 26:14
  SPEAKER_06: We spend a lot of time on the phone talking and planning what's next.
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_06: What we feeling, what we're not feeling.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_06: Something we'll watch the views on our game, and we'll say now.
• 26:23
  SPEAKER_06: I just switch up.
• 26:24
  Corie: Okay, okay, okay.
• 26:25
  Corie: Oh, so you're what you're watching the analytics.
• 26:26
  Corie: So I've really keep an eye close eye on the analytics.
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_05: I'll take a drink.
• 26:31
  SPEAKER_05: I really don't even know how to find the analytics.
• 26:36
  SPEAKER_05: I can smell it.
• 26:38
  Corie: Well, based on the games, I don't know if you can spell it.
• 26:42
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 26:42
  Corie: Having some notes.
• 26:45
  Corie: And I guess there's trial and error.
• 26:47
  Corie: Try a game, try the analytics, see how it works.
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_05: Pay attention to the audience, what they like, what they engage with more.
• 26:55
  Corie: I understand.
• 26:55
  Corie: I understand.
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_06: And there's some games that we play where people interact with the games and feel like they're in the game.
• 27:01
  SPEAKER_06: So those games we will do it a couple times before we try something else.
• 27:05
  Corie: I understand.
• 27:05
  Corie: So you all two are the ones who are looking at the analytics trying to figure this out all the time.
• 27:09
  Corie: Yeah.
• 27:09
  Corie: Where learn all that because there's a there's a skill at this point.
• 27:12
  SPEAKER_06: I have no idea we're doing it.
• 27:13
  SPEAKER_06: We just learn it.
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_06: Just like we learn to edit, just like we learn to respond to our emails, we do everything for ourselves.
• 27:19
  Corie: Oh, you always respond to emails?
• 27:20
  SPEAKER_06: Everything.
• 27:22
  Corie: You should respond to emails.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_06: We do everything.
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_06: We learn.
• 27:27
  SPEAKER_06: We learn.
• 27:29
  Corie: Just trial and error, just going through it.
• 27:31
  Corie: So the thing is, like, when I look at analytics, I find it to be it's hard to um, just from my personal experience now, it's a difficult thing to chase.
• 27:40
  Corie: So like very early, I would try to set up interviews with people who, based on how different people perform in, it works.
• 27:47
  Corie: And then one of the issues I usually have is all right, well, I get bored because now I'm talking to six eighties Calypsonians over and over and over, and it's so much overlap in the conversation.
• 27:57
  Corie: How much of your decision in terms of where you do next comes with your own boredom and if you all enjoying it still?
• 28:01
  Corie: Because Oli is look like we'll enjoy this.
• 28:03
  Corie: This is some years now.
• 28:04
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I think before we make the crowd laugh, we get a good laugh first.
• 28:08
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, these real laughs.
• 28:10
  SPEAKER_06: When we finish playing our game, we'd be like, Yeah, boy, that that one's for yeah, and then we were playing our game and we were no like, nah.
• 28:19
  Corie: Really?
• 28:20
  SPEAKER_06: The energy wasn't there.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_06: Maybe we were tired, something.
• 28:23
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, we never get posted.
• 28:25
  Corie: Oh, yeah, you are similar before.
• 28:26
  Corie: If you have things to record that we don't post, so you all have games you record and it just wasn't there.
• 28:29
  SPEAKER_06: It's unusually when Africa losing, she lives very she lives very quiet.
• 28:35
  SPEAKER_06: So the game goes.
• 28:40
  Corie: It's in the it's in the draft.
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 28:44
  Corie: But when you're seeing this and he edits for real time, when you're done recording, you realize that there's nothing.
• 28:48
  SPEAKER_04: You feel it.
• 28:49
  SPEAKER_04: Um during the game, you feel you realize, okay.
• 28:52
  SPEAKER_04: When you look back to edit it, you don't even bother.
• 28:56
  Corie: Yeah.
• 28:56
  Corie: So who edits it?
• 28:57
  Corie: Have really edited?
• 28:58
  Corie: Um, I'm not gonna start.
• 29:12
  Corie: That's a good question.
• 29:13
  Corie: When J.
• 29:16
  Corie: Who doing all the editing?
• 29:18
  SPEAKER_06: Shins, you do most of the editing.
• 29:19
  Corie: You doing the editing.
• 29:20
  Corie: So use the one who decides to cut off Avril Laugh midway.
• 29:22
  Corie: Because I feel that's one of the main reasons I see this channel blow.
• 29:25
  Corie: Because when Avril laughs, you had to laugh.
• 29:27
  Corie: Yeah, and that's from home.
• 29:29
  Corie: I can't imagine how all these deal with that day.
• 29:31
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 29:31
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, it's exhausting sometimes, to be honest.
• 29:33
  Corie: What's that?
• 29:34
  Corie: Avril.
• 29:35
  SPEAKER_06: Avril laughing, it's not real bummy spirit sometimes.
• 29:38
  SPEAKER_06: You can get tired.
• 29:39
  SPEAKER_04: She says sometimes that she's overstimulated.
• 29:42
  Corie: Yeah.
• 29:43
  SPEAKER_04: I don't know why.
• 29:46
  Corie: Like it's both of them.
• 29:49
  SPEAKER_05: She balances us all.
• 29:50
  SPEAKER_05: Trust me.
• 29:51
  Corie: Yeah, that's balancing our whole next direction.
• 29:54
  Corie: You know, so when you all you learn editing on the flight, so just because we had to do it, right?
• 30:01
  Corie: Yeah, just cap cut and thing out.
• 30:02
  Corie: What is it?
• 30:03
  Corie: Yeah, cap cut.
• 30:04
  Corie: Yeah.
• 30:04
  SPEAKER_05: Using memes slice of the teen, yeah.
• 30:06
  Corie: Yeah, I guess, yeah.
• 30:07
  Corie: Let's do plenty of editing, actually.
• 30:09
  Corie: I find that people underestimate that.
• 30:11
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 30:11
  Corie: Like the fans.
• 30:13
  Corie: They might not understand.
• 30:14
  SPEAKER_04: It looks hard work from hearing them.
• 30:17
  SPEAKER_06: It's hearing them.
• 30:23
  SPEAKER_04: I'm hearing them.
• 30:24
  SPEAKER_04: No, it's hard work because something's like, all right, um, Kisha, you you do today, you do this too.
• 30:29
  SPEAKER_04: I will do this three.
• 30:30
  SPEAKER_04: I'll have to do that tomorrow because like it takes a while, especially if you want to perfect it.
• 30:35
  Corie: Of course, of course.
• 30:36
  Corie: Yeah, editing is work and and it's time.
• 30:38
  Corie: And I feel it's one of them things that are underappreciated.
• 30:41
  Corie: People and and when you do it well, it looks like somebody just put up a phone and record a thing and put it out.
• 30:47
  Corie: And uh you're doing it.
• 30:48
  SPEAKER_05: It takes hours.
• 30:49
  SPEAKER_05: That's the editing is the planning on your games, then you filming, the editing, and then posting times and all, yeah.
• 30:57
  Corie: Well tell me about that.
• 30:58
  Corie: When you say posting times, what do you mean?
• 30:59
  SPEAKER_05: So we know on the evening is where most people will sit and watch a game, so that is when we will push it out.
• 31:04
  SPEAKER_05: So we wouldn't really post it at 5 30 in the morning.
• 31:07
  SPEAKER_06: Of course, yeah, we don't.
• 31:09
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, you don't want to work.
• 31:11
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, so it's uh 5-5-30 kind of time, and of course.
• 31:17
  SPEAKER_04: Same here, same here, and you would have learned that as well because person say when they get home now, it becomes therapy for them.
• 31:23
  Corie: Oh, so it's not the only one who's saying that.
• 31:27
  SPEAKER_04: Let me see what Chef Hell Company has on your page today.
• 31:30
  SPEAKER_04: And if we miss that, eh, somebody would comment.
• 31:32
  Corie: Really?
• 31:33
  Corie: Yeah, up to date.
• 31:35
  SPEAKER_04: They're up to date.
• 31:37
  Corie: So when you record on a Saturday, you have in mind to publish for the next seven days, is that much?
• 31:42
  Corie: Are they publishing every day?
• 31:44
  SPEAKER_04: That's the plan.
• 31:46
  Corie: Yeah, that that's in right here.
• 31:48
  Corie: And that that would mean so for people who might might not understand that it's a blessing to get a video that does hundreds of thousands and millions of views.
• 31:56
  Corie: But that in itself creates work.
• 31:58
  Corie: Because the more viral that thing goes, is more of comments you have to deal with and and respond to, or or let me say hate comments, as you put it, might be five percent of all the comments is getting a small amount, right?
• 32:09
  Corie: But when you do not million, five percent is plenty of them comments you you will get, you know.
• 32:12
  Corie: So y'all have a y'all able to anticipate what videos will do real well.
• 32:17
  Corie: How you feel when you do one, you know it goes.
• 32:19
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 32:20
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, yeah.
• 32:21
  SPEAKER_06: Nobody wants all our hate vibes, yeah.
• 32:23
  Corie: Yeah, what is at the core of it?
• 32:24
  SPEAKER_04: In terms of is it just y'all enjoying yourself that tells you is the energy, energy, energy because they get everybody's personality.
• 32:32
  SPEAKER_04: If you listen to Shinzi behind the camera, yeah, it's on a bomb.
• 32:37
  SPEAKER_04: She gave the clues very well.
• 32:38
  SPEAKER_04: It's across the road.
• 32:39
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you look at it when it's black, it doesn't turn yellow.
• 32:43
  SPEAKER_04: So she's cultural, yeah, she's coaching, so it's like a conversation piece.
• 32:47
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so you get the person to engage, yeah.
• 32:49
  Corie: Yeah, and I guess I guess in home too, huh?
• 32:51
  Corie: So everything seems real obvious when it's on the screen to me, and I watch these two people confuse face, okay?
• 32:57
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 32:58
  Corie: So talk to me about an elbow in between two or rough enough.
• 33:02
  Corie: That's not only say the only slamming gentle, right?
• 33:05
  Corie: Which I ain't sure if I believe that.
• 33:06
  Corie: I hear something there, I say it's concussion for sure.
• 33:09
  Corie: All them elbow on thing.
• 33:11
  Corie: Because the buzzers ain't working.
• 33:14
  Corie: The buzzers have no you find it's working.
• 33:16
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, we know just there.
• 33:20
  Corie: I want to know now if the buzzer is for who going next or if it's vice.
• 33:24
  SPEAKER_04: But you know the truth is both of us do like to lose, and I don't think the audience knows that.
• 33:29
  SPEAKER_04: Because um, KP is more serious faced and not as smiley, but when I'm not in the winning era, there's not much energy.
• 33:41
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, right.
• 33:42
  SPEAKER_04: Persons may not see that, but I know we are both competitive, yeah, we just carry our separate personalities, yeah.
• 33:49
  SPEAKER_04: But nobody likes to lose.
• 33:51
  Corie: Well, some less than others and some more than others, right?
• 33:53
  Corie: Because I will admit, now that you're saying this, right, Avril, because in the beginning I used to believe that.
• 33:58
  Corie: I used to say Avril in business about these games, I say K Busy one, you know what I mean?
• 34:01
  Corie: I say Avril and Chinzi.
• 34:03
  Corie: Well, and my but my horse, you know, I mean, it can't be chinzy in no game as far as I can.
• 34:07
  Corie: There's your horse.
• 34:08
  Corie: 100%.
• 34:09
  Corie: Cannot lose.
• 34:10
  Corie: I don't care what the game is, you can't lose.
• 34:12
  Corie: I'll have a suspicion too.
• 34:13
  Corie: That why she behind camera to get other people a chance on things to it.
• 34:16
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, you know, I mean, play with chinsy is like that.
• 34:29
  SPEAKER_06: No kind of emotion thing.
• 34:32
  Corie: Everybody had an emotion in their own way, you know.
• 34:33
  Corie: Because I can tell you why I see on the next side of the screen, all that no emotions.
• 34:37
  Corie: When you see, especially with the flower days, when you see she go down, she's gonna be able to do it.
• 34:48
  SPEAKER_05: All subtle cutiness.
• 34:50
  Corie: 100%, 100%.
• 34:51
  Corie: I see it all the time.
• 34:52
  Corie: But I used to think that you didn't care about that.
• 34:54
  Corie: Fine lately, right?
• 34:55
  Corie: Since these games come up, which especially ones when you're behind the camera getting them clues, which is I mean, I'm not sure what to do to give again, call it again, you know, other than just staying there with it.
• 35:05
  Corie: But when you win in, which I feel is like sometimes very fancy.
• 35:09
  Corie: It's very real.
• 35:11
  Corie: You're right, but a real face, your face is really started to know because we know you're for your laugh, right?
• 35:17
  Corie: Everybody's telling that we know when you're in a good mood or not.
• 35:20
  Corie: But you have a look, right?
• 35:22
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you will not look at it.
• 35:30
  Corie: So that competitive spirit, you're feeling it any moment.
• 35:32
  Corie: So, how are they managing that energy?
• 35:33
  Corie: Because I think that's one of the other things about content that people might underestimate.
• 35:37
  Corie: Like it's difficult sometimes to turn on them cameras.
• 35:40
  Corie: You your real life going on, especially with the I don't want to use the word burden, but when people telling you things like the depression and things, I'm sure you all feel an obligation to show up and do it now.
• 35:51
  SPEAKER_06: I don't, you don't?
• 35:52
  Corie: No, really, no pressure.
• 35:54
  SPEAKER_06: If I don't feel to do content, we don't do content.
• 35:57
  Corie: Seriously, so you just leave it for the week?
• 36:00
  SPEAKER_06: No, something will come.
• 36:01
  SPEAKER_06: Or that we do a repost or something, but we don't force we don't force it.
• 36:06
  SPEAKER_06: If we're not feeling, we don't do it.
• 36:08
  Corie: I want to ask how important that is to you all because that's only like a mental health thing.
• 36:12
  Corie: Because if you're life, this happened, and that is the truth.
• 36:15
  Corie: And no matter what is going on, but people have an expectation to see this show every day.
• 36:20
  Corie: I mean, I can imagine putting out something every day, but how y'all manage that amongst yourselves in terms of your own well-being?
• 36:28
  SPEAKER_04: Right.
• 36:29
  SPEAKER_04: First of all, I believe anything that you're doing, there must be a passion.
• 36:33
  SPEAKER_04: And once you desire, what you're actually putting out doesn't become a task.
• 36:38
  SPEAKER_04: So eliminate you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and stuff like that.
• 36:44
  SPEAKER_04: Once you know you have been able to come to that balance, okay, right.
• 36:48
  SPEAKER_04: I'm ready to produce.
• 36:49
  SPEAKER_04: By Tuesday, we're going, hey, we have things in the draft.
• 36:52
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 36:53
  SPEAKER_04: Saturday, yeah, what going on?
• 36:54
  SPEAKER_04: Avril.
• 36:56
  SPEAKER_04: KP.
• 36:56
  SPEAKER_04: So we know we, so there's a and a drilling in.
• 37:00
  SPEAKER_04: And it is able now to maintain that momentum when the day appears.
• 37:04
  Corie: I understand.
• 37:05
  SPEAKER_06: Something I was telling them this week or last week.
• 37:08
  SPEAKER_06: I was like, we've been doing content for two years and we have never been sick.
• 37:13
  SPEAKER_06: None of us have ever been sick to say we can't do content or we can't show up.
• 37:17
  SPEAKER_06: We have always been able to show up, we're feeling well and we're ready to go.
• 37:21
  SPEAKER_06: It's something that we're real thankful for.
• 37:23
  Corie: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 37:24
  Corie: We'll be thankful for it as fans as well.
• 37:26
  Corie: Shinsi, I'd ask you because for somebody who not is not your nature.
• 37:29
  Corie: I don't know if you you would have done this if you were on your own.
• 37:31
  Corie: If you think it's something that you would have pursued, I do not, no.
• 37:34
  SPEAKER_05: No, seriously.
• 37:36
  SPEAKER_05: I still like my piece.
• 37:38
  SPEAKER_05: I like it.
• 37:39
  Corie: So, how much of an adjustment is this for you going there every week to do it?
• 37:42
  SPEAKER_05: No, I love to do the games, so that is not a problem for me.
• 37:45
  SPEAKER_05: I get accustomed.
• 37:47
  SPEAKER_05: I love to give them the games, I love to be part of the games, so that it doesn't feel like after turn on a switch.
• 37:52
  Corie: So, off-camera for you is not a way of just not trying to go back to not being in this whole mix.
• 37:57
  SPEAKER_05: No, no, no.
• 37:57
  Corie: Yeah, just the game.
• 37:58
  Corie: Yeah.
• 37:59
  Corie: What about the adjustment now when because there's a number.
• 38:03
  Corie: Like I we we talk about it all the time.
• 38:05
  Corie: For us, it's 10,000 on YouTube.
• 38:07
  Corie: Whatever episode hit 10,000, the day you leave home, somebody gonna tell you, it don't matter where you go, somebody gonna say, Hey, I love this episode.
• 38:14
  Corie: I saw this thing with this person.
• 38:15
  Corie: So you all probably have that numbers.
• 38:16
  Corie: People look at the analytics too.
• 38:18
  Corie: Was it like for you when you're starting to go out in the road now and people calling you by name, and you're kind of like, know you from somewhere?
• 38:24
  SPEAKER_05: Calling my name, they come in and hug you and kiss you.
• 38:26
  Corie: Oh, they're coming hugging and kiss you.
• 38:28
  Corie: Let me thank my blessed.
• 38:31
  SPEAKER_06: Sorry, it's like you know you, yeah.
• 38:32
  Corie: What you mean, girl?
• 38:34
  SPEAKER_06: I had already grabbed me.
• 38:36
  SPEAKER_06: Because I think what they feel is that what they see, they feel like they know us.
• 38:40
  SPEAKER_06: So when they see us and put us in the treat us, they see me.
• 38:42
  SPEAKER_06: It's not a problem, you know.
• 38:43
  SPEAKER_06: So we get used to it.
• 38:44
  SPEAKER_06: We embrace it, get used to it, yeah.
• 38:46
  Corie: Oh, but of course, just meant it was for you.
• 38:47
  Corie: If you that's that's that's not your thing.
• 38:49
  SPEAKER_05: It's not my thing, but by now.
• 38:51
  Corie: It's just like a stomach, yeah.
• 38:53
  SPEAKER_06: She actually does better than me, you know.
• 38:55
  Corie: Yeah, you do.
• 38:57
  SPEAKER_06: I I don't go anywhere without them.
• 39:00
  SPEAKER_06: No, but you can't go no way to get it.
• 39:02
  SPEAKER_06: That might be the problem if you see all it again.
• 39:05
  SPEAKER_06: No, but that might be worse because I can manage it with them, but by myself, I'd be struggling.
• 39:11
  Corie: Really?
• 39:12
  Corie: With what?
• 39:13
  SPEAKER_06: Anxiety.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_06: So one time I went out with Avril recently, and we buying our pants, and then everybody just coming, and I literally felt like the place was closing, you know.
• 39:24
  SPEAKER_06: And I remember Santa Shorthand was like, let me go, let me go, let me go.
• 39:28
  SPEAKER_06: So it's something that I'm okay with.
• 39:33
  SPEAKER_04: Let me just say something, you know, even though um KP may come off, you know, sometimes she may not she may be tired and stuff like that.
• 39:42
  SPEAKER_04: But even though I may be extra with my tia, there are times that I feel over them, and they would warn me.
• 39:50
  SPEAKER_04: They would warn me, okay, Avril, yeah, but we are embracing people because we are all humans, so sometimes you actually exhaust them.
• 39:59
  SPEAKER_06: And because Avril always laughing.
• 40:00
  SPEAKER_06: When Avril is exhausted, Corey.
• 40:11
  SPEAKER_06: When Avril, serious side, come on, it'd be a shock to people.
• 40:14
  SPEAKER_06: I know.
• 40:15
  Corie: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 40:15
  SPEAKER_06: So Shinziana I will still push you and still smile and still take the 50.
• 40:19
  SPEAKER_06: Ah, we'll tell you, flap.
• 40:21
  SPEAKER_06: Nah.
• 40:21
  Corie: You know, it's an interesting thing, right?
• 40:22
  Corie: I'd read it in a book.
• 40:23
  Corie: I was talking about it's an episode recently where um they do these tests to see if you're introverted or extroverted, right?
• 40:30
  Corie: And in my time, they used to tell you extroverts people like to go outside and introverts like to be home.
• 40:34
  Corie: But now they're saying it's not like that.
• 40:36
  Corie: They say extrovert extroverts absorb more of the environment.
• 40:40
  Corie: So if it's light, an extrovert might see more light and absorb more light.
• 40:44
  Corie: So the problem is that now they need more rest.
• 40:46
  Corie: Because when they're in an environment with plenty of people, they will they will enjoy it.
• 40:52
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 40:52
  Corie: And an introvert could leave their environment and forget about that, and but the extroverts carrying it with them.
• 40:58
  SPEAKER_05: That makes a lot of sense.
• 40:59
  SPEAKER_05: That is true.
• 41:00
  SPEAKER_05: That's what you mean.
• 41:00
  SPEAKER_05: That's true.
• 41:01
  Corie: Yeah, you know, I met a therapist, unrelated to this, right?
• 41:04
  Corie: Just random.
• 41:04
  Corie: But a therapist who was on the show once told me that uh one of the things you could do is set up your home environment.
• 41:11
  Corie: Because if you know you're going into spaces where you're gonna have plenty of people and is over you feel overstimulated, she says, like, set aside your favorite tea, set aside your candles, because you need more help to come down than the average introverts.
• 41:23
  SPEAKER_06: But average loan calm down.
• 41:26
  SPEAKER_06: And that's the problem.
• 41:28
  SPEAKER_06: So when the person get blank in pictures, when they get blank, is because she don't want no more pictures.
• 41:33
  SPEAKER_06: But as soon as she gets in the car, she talking, it's not like she comes down from anywhere.
• 41:38
  Corie: Maybe that she really comes down.
• 41:40
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

  Corie: You know, but yeah, that that that as I suppose, and it's not it's not as gradual as people pick.
• 42:22
  Corie: Yeah, you know, you start to do these things like um we talk about it here a lot, not to talk about too much behind-the-scenes things, but you know, you're doing this.

  SPEAKER_04: I'm very self-careful.
• 54:48
  SPEAKER_04: My environment, what I'm doing, what what I'm actually doing at a particular time, you know?
• 54:52
  Corie: Yeah.
• 54:52
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 54:53
  Corie: Science again nervous.
• 54:54
  Corie: You see when they sort of say unlawful, the police side coming out.
• 54:56
  unknown: Telling you.
• 54:58
  SPEAKER_06: Telling you.
• 55:00
  Corie: So what about you, KP?
• 55:01
  Corie: Is how is how is the separation?
• 55:03
  Corie: Let me talk about in the station and in in work first.
• 55:06
  Corie: Because I'm sure now we're going back to work and people in the office, or what is called station police, what is called office?
• 55:12
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I think um as a police officer, we would have learned um discipline, professionalism, so I know where to draw the line.
• 55:19
  SPEAKER_06: I know when to be serious and I know when to when I'm doing in my content era.
• 55:24
  SPEAKER_06: I don't think being a police officer and a content is too opposite thing, I think, as you say.
• 55:29
  SPEAKER_06: Content is a different side and but I do know how to draw the line and know when to be a police officer, and I know when to be you find out people draw the line because you might know that, but I know if the average person knows that or not.
• 55:43
  SPEAKER_06: What do you mean?
• 55:44
  SPEAKER_06: Like fans, yeah.
• 55:45
  Corie: No, and the in the your colleagues know.
• 55:49
  SPEAKER_06: I don't really know about my colleagues much.
• 55:52
  SPEAKER_06: I mean I can only speak for me.
• 56:02
  Corie: Yeah, you know what kind of reaction internally.
• 56:06
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, you remember you grew up with these people, you grew up with your colleagues.
• 56:10
  SPEAKER_04: However, there's a different when you put on the police cap because you know, okay, it's policing taking place here, right?
• 56:16
  SPEAKER_04: And then they know you must separate it.
• 56:19
  SPEAKER_04: Because I mean, as policy, I don't want to turn the interview into the job, but we know our motto is pride, professionalism, respect, integrity, dignity, excellence.
• 56:29
  SPEAKER_04: And I think even within our group, we have executed those acronyms, so it is blaring, it is glaring, should I say?
• 56:39
  SPEAKER_04: So I think it's self-explanatory.
• 56:41
  SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
• 56:42
  SPEAKER_06: So we want people to know that I mean our police officer, the other side, you could have a personality, but we don't always have to be rough and harsh.
• 56:51
  Corie: Okay, yeah, you're teaching this within the service.
• 56:54
  Corie: Just mark that person.
• 56:55
  SPEAKER_06: No, we know that.
• 56:57
  SPEAKER_04: And we understand that even though we are we are called to be stern, we must always remain polite.
• 57:01
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, we don't talk long to persons.
• 57:03
  Corie: Gotcha.
• 57:04
  SPEAKER_04: Right, but we really don't want to switch this into that.
• 57:06
  Corie: Yeah, of course, of course.
• 57:08
  SPEAKER_06: So I think that people respect us.
• 57:10
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, so even when people see us oh, they know our uniform, we get our respect.
• 57:13
  SPEAKER_06: This is fans now, right?
• 57:14
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, we get our respect.

  Corie: Oh, yeah.
• 57:21
  SPEAKER_04: So what can you go to truck with a child?
• 57:23
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, or doesn't compromise our values or responsibilities as police officers.
• 57:29
  Corie: Yeah, well, I come here with the wrong impression because sure I wasn't taking a lockup from Avril, I can tell you that.
• 57:34
  Corie: But KP Keep you afraid a little bit, you know, afraid you a little bit, you know, you're a little more serious, and I don't like this.
• 57:39
  Corie: I don't like this.
• 57:40
  Corie: I will rough it.
• 57:41
  Corie: I find you say it like you don't have the intention to do it.
• 57:46
  Corie: So, as you're continuing to do it and grow, what do you have a vision for what you want to see or where you see cheerful company going?
• 57:52
  Corie: Maybe I should start with you as a person who started it initially.
• 57:55
  SPEAKER_06: Um, for me, I just want us to be continue to bring that shape honestly to just be more worldwide as well.
• 58:02

  Corie: No joke.
• 59:02
  Corie: You're right, yeah.
• 59:03
  SPEAKER_04: No, but I believe what we are offering is not just ourselves, but it's a gift from God.
• 59:08
  SPEAKER_04: And even if cheerful company does remain cheerful company in the aspect of games, our individual talents and skills that God would have blessed us with, we would be able to build businesses from that, and persons will still be able to receive.

  SPEAKER_04: You know, and um, you know, most of the times when person celebrating is always a feast.

• 1:08:59
  Corie: I see.
• 1:08:59
  SPEAKER_04: And we open these restaurants, they would come and they would we would leave a legacy.

  SPEAKER_06: But you're more fun than I thought.
• 1:10:08
  Corie: Yeah, I think I think, and maybe, maybe listen, a lot of what I do is follow any patterns that you all y'all have set because uh y'all y'all show up in a way that it it feels more it feels less like somebody trying to make content and they're just getting to look at three people's lives and all that.
• 1:10:24
  Corie: They laugh with one another.
• 1:10:25
