 What's up, guys? Welcome to SPM Boys. My name is Liz Jackson, and as you can see, I'm hanging out with the Rui family. Nakama hauji Rui family, please. Odafanya ni ni Nairobi. So, I'm going to let them introduce themselves. Ala futuendele. Okay, actually I keep it simple for now. My name is Maureen Sitonik, from the Rui family. Nivoto. What's up, everybody? It's your boy. My name is Hezron, from the Rui family. Thank you so much for this chance. Ya, kwa having us here, manze. All right, guys. So, I've looked for these guys for quite a while, and thank you so much for making time for me. It's been a hassle, but I'm very grateful that Mkwaapa. So, tukianza, muna josisi tuliana tu, the Rui family, imetro kia. Probably Maureen, uneza tu eleza, when did you guys meet and when did you guys make a decision to start creating YouTube content? Oh my God. We met, meeting, we met like two years, eh, okay, it's going to three right now, so... Two years and a half back, but we started creating content last year, September. So, I think next month it will be like one year. Eh, so, so far to go, almost three years in a relationship, but content raised, manze, just one year ago. Ya. And Rui, uneza tuambia, who between the two of you came up with the idea of starting a YouTube channel? Both of us, I think. Like, eh, I think the both of us, to Nisizi, eh, look what Dhanishina did to Kisema, to on the YouTube, to on the YouTube. I think, he did a little portion in Mabeshte, after he met Matik Tokivi Kidogo, he told me, you can start a YouTube channel, I need to come up with one day, two months. And even then, like, he is going to attack Anga, I think he is going to attack me. Actually, look, on your account, to create, I think May, to create May, I think it's the first video to post September, I think. Ya. To look what you like, to na, na jayofia, like, to go serious. Alafum, mi inapendangam, nikianda kitu, nikiwa very consistent. Stakanga kufailia, ni natakanga, ni try my best. So, stakanga nikianda kitu, alafum ni stop. So, every time to look what Majuliza, we really, eh, can we do this? Will we, tukasema let's try? Tukanda na wa tuwaka accept, wa katupenda. Ya. Alright, and, which video can you say, at the time surprised you na ilikwa viral sana? Video ilikwa viral sana na ilini, surprised na wii, it's the, our, our, our night routine. I don't know, for some reason, nizile video, no, just sometimes you do a video, alafum ki watch, uke endakupos, tuki editwa, like, this is the one, indo inanda, indo inanda, but it's a EO, ilikwa just, let's just do a night routine, then tukafanya. So, EO I didn't expect, in that, ata ikwe like number one on the channel, nilikwa na jo me business ingine zene, na anticipate zita enda the best, nilikwa zita fanya. But to my surprise, yondo ikwe number one, yondo imenda sana. Ya. Iko, like, Iko enda the, your time, tili anza kupik after one week, indio, ah, to know na evi 10k, na jo I think in video tia, kwa anza kwa na ikwe 10k, ato gala lasubutu na muka 20k, kwa ni nini na ato know na kwa evi video, kido kudu 50k, 100k, ituka, ay, ay, ay, ay, alafu I think, tukapata subscribers kwa yo video. Ika tu motivate, tukawana, ikama situn na zafika 10k, tukafika 20k, apun, Ika anza, but yo video, ni ziduyu video na bangapu kwa janeli eto. Yo, ni ziduyu, Iko 20, I think, like ni kwa top 20, tuli kwa jumifanya video, mingela kini yondo, ili anza kupik, vizuria. So when I interact with your content, you guys have friends, mkuna nebsen, nyadira, you have, kinakomentator, ah, nikina na ni muli meet wakwanza, and did you guys know each other from Kitambama, muli julia ni akumitanda? Ah, the first people to meet, ni nebsen, nyadira, of which tu mepaterna, to come tandao. I think most people always think, like, maybe to mepaterna, before content, amani ni nini, but to lepaterna through just content creation, so to mepaterna, come tandao, and it's wakwanza, ni nebsen, nyadira, and then to say the rest, waka follow follow up. Yeah. Mkiangalia, couples who do content together on YouTube, in Kenya, Rui, probably who do you look up to. Do you have anyone that you look up to, or do you have anyone that you admire? Couple wise, content. Wow. Eh, you namesu alipowa? Yeah. Why you go there so hard? Couple. So, me niza sema, tukewa evo ka familie tu wa tuna jimotivet, tuna, most of the time, mata tukewana tu mefanya video, ala wutu we see our friends wajafanya video, we call even, like, nebsbana, tujawana video, so like, tuna jimotivet, ala wutu ni kisema, na look up tu na ni, ahwa sewa kitambutu, of course, wajisa, kinadiana bi, adiata kinakioka, adialianza mapem. So, we look up to them, most of them, ya, most of them, kinadoria, sezu wa sahaw, tulkotu na watch kinadoria, kitambu mata bifuata, kuji YouTube so, tulkua mafanoa, kia kia maria, after YouTube, evo evo, aditumu kua mabeishtesaisana, so close ya. So, Maureen, probabili, did you see yourself getting here? So, for example, having friends who are content creators and they have numbers, na piya ni ni kwitoma interviews, did it at one day, ushei fi kiriamta fi kapa? Mi kusema ukweli, iletu ya personal, chana na ileni wuna kana watuna piga story, ez Maureen, I really wanted to be a content creator, nasi kwa na tekakwa content creator, juya, nil kwa na watching a couple, chanel sana. So ni kwa na fili, sorry, skumo jen kwa na partner, oh my God, I'm so sorry. At time ni kwa na partner, tutakwa na a channel. So, kitu na ezasema ni, when we started, nil kwa na yo fear, I wasn't sure that, ay, watif, watif ni ni ni ni, but, si kwa na ila kitu ni, and I feel like one day, I'll be at this position, but we prayed, like so, so, so hard. There are many people who start a channel and they give up, batili jambia na hezron. You know what? Right now, we are targeting for one K. Let's, let's step on that one K. If we are targeting on this, let's, so, tutu na aim for that, but we never saw this coming. Let's just say, God only make it quick fast, and like, vini si tutu na yung alia, ya. And probably, have you guys experienced our negative comments online? Of course, of course. Yes, to me, why? Ya. To me, partner negative, I think, mutua kwanza alia, takia on emi, I think. Because of certain video, to li fanya video alafu, you know, nili kwanza ongelia, temba, nika sama, I think, tutu kata kia, ni kata kia, asana kwa video, alafu next, after you, ah, ikunika tulia. Alafu li ni hitu, bwede, mi li kwanza se manga, ah, these are my comments, misi easy jolly. I mean, e, e, e, bwede li paishiyo na, watu inga li kwanza ni tutu, kana ni ni ni, mi ya din, kambia, manzi ango, si lazima, kama si e, e, actually. Ay, mi nili kwanza, kama iwendia, utu aniza, tutu bwede, misi dani. Laki ni ala, ni ala, ni ala stand with mi ya kase manu, we can do this. Alafu next, I think ni e, asana, that was bad. Hahahaha. Ni e mi, e, ala, ni atakiwa, we ongelia yo pa tia. Nani nani, ongelia, nani nani, nani? Um, Iki tu yunakuanga until it happens to you. Ono jokun sayi tu naza pigas tu reisime miimi. Izo kwa unazi lengatu. Wachana naza. Tata huzizi somi. But until you're in that position, it hits you like so. But so mi naza sama time nili atakiwa ilini bring down sana kwa sababu. It was the exact opposite of the person I am. I don't think I'm supposed to talk about the situation. But it was the exact opposite of who I am as a person. And yes, people were taking it as like nikoivo. So it was so bad. It put so, so, so down. Hezrun was like I think with me and some of my friends kina nyatira eivo. So I'll say those online trolls na nakuanga the biggest challenge in terms of putting your life out there as a person. I think the same kwa zata mi nilkwa na sama. Muntu ataki ni tuzizi zifil. Alafu someone tells me have a big forehead. I'm like wait a minute. I'm like but they have a big forehead. Alilia. Oh my God. Anyway, we are not exposing weaknesses here. So my next question would be you guys do a lot of pranks. So before prankiyane. First of all, do the pranks sort of ruin the relationship or do they upset you guys? For example, me prank morin. After sasa mushafina, stop. What happens after that? Do you explain to her that it was just a prank kama kuna pranku siya infanya kakach kabisa kabisa? I think kuna prank moja ni alikach adi ni karei great. Kama siji uluwaji liya gari. Iliya kawa, shaman ni gari? Kuna one liya prank valentine, sinimambaya gari. Oh my God. Guy, iyo, iyo, iyo ilikosa lot, alikwana liya. Alafuata bifu. Onajone liya kuja kumusho ni prank after 3 days. Sasa, aki test gari ni ni ni. Iyo time. Iyo time. Onajone liya skepi baya mboana, because what weingu kuwa lukwa mamesho, congratulations and a reply. Adi mamaki, ni ni watuao. Adi mi liya lukwa ni meseyama. Danya maziya. Stambi wa mutua. Lukwa na ni ni. Lukwa na get a lot of ni ni so congratulatory messages. Iya mi ni kama tu ni musho. Iya mi ni meseyama kuwa nzanda musho. Iya peki ake ni si shu ti yo. Lukwa na ataka kuwa shum tu iyo. Laki ni wei. Ni kama musho. Meni pranka di saye, because up until now i know that kai is yours. Oh my God. Hazrun wa tu prank. Imagine it wasn't mine, and Hazrun had the audacity. Imagine I still think that's that. Say much in Hazrun. No. No, please don't do it. Team Hazrun, because imagine a many pata kami sa kusmiye. So right now, kama fun. Kuna hizase mahaji kusu yo. Bad, right? I feel bad because all along I've been thinking she has a car. I've had a lot of pressure in that video because at some point ata hezun na lukwa. Ono joa, before ata we to make your decision yaku post online like it's a prank, between telling people it's a prank, because you can feel people are pressuring me so much. I want to tell them it's a prank. At the same time, I'm like to spoil and be out whatever kinayo, wajda kana ni ni ni, iso maswa li. Alafu Hazrun karibu, Ushai kwa iina dilemma di karibu wa semi.
