But before I introduce him, do make sure you slide into our DM on Y254 channel. All the hashtag is one in the morning. Hashtag Social Friday that is on Twitter. On Facebook at Y254.

You know, but before I get to be rich or it's about time we play some games and have some fun in studios. So, one Mr. Mathu MFG is in the building. For the first time, please say good morning to the Y254 fans. Hi people, I go by the name MFG. I'm a Mathu if you like. Matthew, is it Mathu or Mathu? Oh, it is Mathu, like M-A-T-H-U. When you go introduce yourself, like what's your name? I'm Mathu, I'm Mathu. You mean like Matthew but with swag like Mathu or Mathu? I'm Mathu. Oh, Mathu. Okay, now we get it. DJ Khalifa, please tell me MFG, do you know this guy? He's Missy Stoker. I'm Missy Stoker. I'm from Tokyo but it's okay. Good morning. How are you? I'm good. So DJ Khalifa is our resident DJ here at Y254. He is the king and the resident himself. So don't make sure you slide into our DM and requested songs. DJ Khalifa is playing All Requests is Good Friday. I hope you're in good vibes, it's a long weekend and now it's about time we start the chase into your weekend. So let's get to know one Mr. MMG254. The man must be cracking us up on social media. Let's get to know Mathu. So who is Mathu? Let's see how it is. Okay, so Mathu is my second name. And apparently a lot of guys know me by Mathu. I've studied with them. That's how I used to get my fans when I was starting. And MMG is my stage name. Apparently there's no... Okay, I keep on saying this. What is MMG? What is MMG? Yes. My mother used to tell me that I'm more and more like Kage Touaga. That's for the Kikuis. It is just that. I'm a mighty man of God. So I do vines. Basically I'm a content creator. I'm a very passionate dancer. I'm a hype man too. Events, MC. I'm multi-talented. Like God, I have two talents. Oh, they're just overflowing. The guests were open when it was your time to come through. Exactly. So you said that you started when you were back in school. Which school was this? Give a shout out to your high school. At least we know Mathu. Okay, so I was in Nyandaro High School. It's a mixed national school. But life there was tough. You were in a mixed public school and it was still tough. Now they are strict to new. Extra times 10. Because these are my issues. So when you talk about high school, I don't think it's strict. Apart from discipline, I just remember strictness in that life. Is that the reason you decided to rebel? No, apparently high school has really molded me. Like when you were coming after high school and going to campus, you find friends, when you're from class 4, from 4, you've been studying with boys. As in, you don't know them as in the wrong number. So we should be mixed in more, friends. Yeah, as in, I eat and stuff. So people can get used to it and not get too excited. Yeah, and it helped. Okay, interesting. So let's talk about how you got into online content creation. Mike, what was it that just drew you into this particular industry? Considering you got such a lovely response from the public. Okay, so how I got into the online stuff is, I used to do these funny clips. Like, you board at home after school 4, you have a lot of work to do, but it's not easy. I'm talented. So apparently it's not easy. Let me say it to you. Okay, let's hear that you're the talent. Yeah, so what I used to do, since I used to watch Jogush, like, I really love Jogush. Apparently he's my mentor. And my mom told me, he's a V2 nezachiku, and I see him when I go to school, keep on practicing. Then that's how I started. We're posting it two once. Apparently the person who posted was my aunt. Just a dance, a funny dance video on Facebook. And then it got trend. So after that, I started doing videos and then they just trend. And that's how I got in. Mr. Adik, I saw you did a funny video about a lecture, a campus situation where somebody is teaching an empty class. So where do you delve some of your ideas from? What's your creative process? When you're thinking about, oh, let's make fun of this. What do you do? Is it that you observe or what do you do? For me, as a content creator and to be specific, a viner, the world is my, I feel like the world is my stage. So when I add an IQ up, I already have several ideas in my mind as in it just comes. Ideas just flow in. So for me, what I just do, I just add a bit of flesh to the skeleton. You just add a bit of flesh to the situation? Yeah. Like when I joined the idea, I saw a bit of flesh and me just shooting it. Okay, so let's talk about, I can imagine making people laugh is not as easy as people imagine it is. So can you please learn some of the difficulties and maybe your most compromising situation? I know every comedian has had that moment where you went and you thought you were, I'm so funny today, I'm feeling funny. And then you went and you're like, oops, you got a very different feedback. Let's talk about that. What? The most difficult thing in this country is being an artist. Yeah. And to be specific, a comedian. See, I see. You were already depressed. Yeah. And then you, as in, I don't know, but for you to be funny, it has to have some truth in it. Oh, it has to hit a spot? Yeah, it has to hit a spot. So every funny thing has a painful experience behind it. Wow. Yeah. You said right, they say that people who laugh the most are the most depressed. Is there any relation? Yeah, I guess, I guess. As in, from the guys I've seen and met, some of them, yeah, they go through such stuff. So they don't want guys to be like them. So what they do, you just make them happy. Oh, so you make others happy because you're trying to balance the negative. You want them to go through the same. You just make them happy. That's such a nice mentality or nice thing to do. And for me, as long as I've just made you smile, that is my aim, that is my happiness. I just post a video. So that is just satisfaction. It's not really about the money. No. So how do you sustain yourself? How sustainable is this? If I think I'm funny, and maybe I can crack a few jokes here and there, and maybe I can make fun of a situation. Like me, I'm funny but spontaneously. Like I don't plan it. I can imagine like planning it must be like, oh God, like, I don't know, hard. So is it sustainable? Yeah, it is. No, for real? Yeah, it is. Like on a job here, you have to, like if you're really passionate about what you're doing, you get some ideas of how you're going to sustain yourself. Yeah, and be competent. As in, I meant being consistent. Consistent. Yeah, being consistent. Interesting. So let's talk about some of your projects. Yes, Trian, because what's happening for you this year? What's good? For me, good Friday. Oh, good Friday. Oh, what's good? Okay, so for me, this year, things are going to be lit. Things are going to be lit. Cos above all, one project remains in Zisha with my friends Brenda Jones and Natalie. I like Brenda Jones. And Natalie Givengi. Brenda Jones, as you know, her character. Yes. Eddie, her mama, Kingston. Yes. She's our mother in the comedy world, you know. And apparently, Natalie, Kuta, she's the daughter. Yes. And this is Anjeri. So for me, Natalie is my sister. Wow! You mean I don't tell you to that family? I go Natalie. Yeah. I know that you could have two apples and manooks. So that is one of the projects as in calling it the family with Brenda Jones and Natalie. Oh, calling it the family. Wow! I like where this is going. Yeah, the family. So that's one big project I'm working on. The other thing is, this year, I want to do a film. Like, yeah. Wow! Wow! Yeah, I do a script spear. So I just want to start shooting short films. And at least, YouTube and I party a bit of change. See if a lot of my work is worth. Interesting. So they might see you somewhere, like, actually in a serious acting role during the film. Yeah, like, Producing it. Like, behind the scenes or behind the camera? Behind the scenes. But mostly behind the scenes. Ah! Okay, that sounds interesting. That sounds interesting. I saw you guys had done a dance video. At some point. Let's talk about the feedback that you got from that artist in particular. Are you talking about Willy Paul? Yes. Hey, hey, hey. Okay, Willy Paul. I didn't want to... Okay, nah, it's okay. You know, apparently, we don't attack people personally. We don't attack people personally. We just, as in whatever the audience sees, that is what we bring out. Oh, so you're just making fun of a perception. Yeah, we make fun of a perception. It's not a direct attack to that. Yeah, no. Apparently, sorry to say this, I really love Willy Paul. Willy Paul, that guy, okay, I love him. I despise whatever guy says, what he's doing. He knows what he's doing. But his talent twice, I love him. Okay, you know, there's something that's dope. Willy Paul, I hope you've had it. It was not personal. Yeah. But anyway, we've had a new trend. We have this guy, Alvino. He came up with this song, Taka Taka. And we jammed to it for a few months and then, whoops, they are London KFCB and all sorts of drama and people killing the people they think are their better halves. Because they're spinners anyway. You can't be sure at that age. Just saying. But anyway, let's hear your opinion on some of this. And what did you think of the Taka Taka song? Do you think it's part of this drama that we are seeing? I want to talk more about the youth. Why it stands for youth, right? Yes. Because you think it should stand for youth. It does. You're correct. That's nice. Because the youth, we indulge ourselves in activities that are not really productive. And when we do so, we don't think about the future. Like right now, you get into a relationship with a lady and then, when you do a campus, you see how this guy is living. You see what this guy owns. When you say to a lady, you want to get into a relationship with someone. I will tell you, remember Kitambo, if you are even just to date someone, you are going to find out how they are. But you see these people are faking it so much even if you spy, you will go and verify wrong information. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So for me, I think the youth, we just need to be a little bit wiser. Yeah. We need to be a bit wiser. Apparently, the generation that we are in, everything is so quick. Yeah. No. Like, you see the size of the village that we are living in. People want to be beyond San Jersey when they are still 19. Yeah. You see, so for the youth, I think whatever you do now, you have to think twice and you have to think about the results. Because apparently, what we are doing right now, the results are going to be like 5 to 10 years to come. Yes. And what kind of quality children are we going to have? We are looking, like we have gone left already. I don't know, you make sure it's like a second position and let us know if you still believe in the young people and in the future generation. I had someone say that we need to regenerate our generation. Something like that. Jeff found very powerful in its own way. However, let's talk about some of your best experiences in this particular line of work. Is it someone that you met? Was it a superstar you were able to work with? Was it just a clip that got the most views and you didn't expect it? Tell me about the peak of your career. Tell me about your favorite moment. I'll tell you about my favorite moment and the same line I'll tell you about my most depressing moment. Well, yeah, let's go ahead. Yes. So my best moment was when I did a clip and apparently this clip, it was one of my first clips. But I miss what's funny. Apparently, this is the funny thing. I've never seen myself funny. You don't find yourself funny? But since I see people laughing to the jokes that I make. Wait, you've never actually worked in the streets and thought of something and you're like, oh my God, I was one. Okay, maybe. You don't find yourself funny? No. What I do, I'll see something funny, laugh, I'll just create and then I'll just go create a vine. But for me, I don't see myself as funny. I just think I'm crazy, you know. Crazy. You've never been funny since just a bit. Hi, Alan. So my best experience was really taking it as a video. Yeah, a degree. Oh. Yeah, and that time, I didn't know. I didn't know. So I told my colleagues, Hilary and Kashia's, you guys, maybe he gave me a sign. So whatever this guy did, I didn't want to edit it but he said, see. You weren't feeling it? Yeah, this guy took my phone. He sent it to me and then he posted it. Oh, Alan. The next morning, me, I'm waking and I'm showing my calls apparently. I remember the first call was around six. I was like, I don't know. I was like, I don't know, I'll post it on Instagram. Then I went there and I posted it. It already has a lot of views. Wow. And then it just trended for the longest time I've ever known. I just felt proud. Because you didn't expect that. I didn't expect that. I didn't expect that. I was like, okay. That was the best because I didn't expect it. That's interesting. That's a lot about potential. Yeah. If something you just did with your eyes closed or whatever, could get that much attention. What about your focus? Yeah. So tell me about your worst moment. Oh, my worst moment when the Churchill conditions. Oh. Oh. I have to be frank with that. As you know, after, you know what you really want to do. Keep on rehearsing. Keep on practicing. And then there's all kinds of auditions that you can't say. You can't just just put it on the ground or put it on the benches. But it's been working. Yeah. On the benches, Terence. And then you just crack jokes. It is not like you're cracking jokes. It's like these guys don't even know you're there. It's like you don't exist. Oh, well, you know, they know what you are. They need you to be a little bit tense so that you can get your best. And then the moment you're done, you're like, oh, you're done. Okay, sir. Come next Tuesday. Oh, you found that immoralizing. As you know, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over So then I just decided, for now, let me just do this. But who? Mita Rudi. I'm very, very angry. Oh, so basically, you're talking about a very discouraging situation. Now, you feel like you've given. Yeah, as in, for me, I felt like it was. Like, I feel like I'm a little bit. Do you feel like that experience made you stronger? Because they usually do. Yeah, it did. Apparently, it did. It made me twice much stronger. Every time I went there, maybe an excuse there, you know, and if there's an excuse there, I'll call you and tell you, and I'll cut on it. Yeah, we'll wait for it. Now you show them. Yeah, as we just did that. You know what to say, but you know what to say, that suddenly you become very productive. OK, so let's, I want to find out your plans for this particular Easter, because we have a Panari and we have a Valentine on standby somewhere at Panari. And we want to know what's so special, what's your best Easter memory? I don't know, so our fans also can slide into our day and we're giving away some dinner tickets, skating and movies. So please make sure you do pay attention. And yes, Valentine may be coming live in a few minutes as well to say hello to all of you and maybe give you a little feel of what's happening. But for now, let's find out what's Mathu's best Easter memory, you know? Yeah. So my best Easter memory, because my life I was in school, like you know, Easter is over I was in school and I've been through boarding. So one of my best... Oh, when did you go to boarding? Like, 4. As in, to my younger sister is swinging. So my best Easter moment was when I was in school because getting a bottle of soda and I'm cut. You know, we have special D, as you call it, special diet, like you have some Nyama or some rice for them. You see, they never used to take as a special, they all see you as one. So during Easter, at least you have a different taste in your mouth, apparently it's soda and then I'm cut. And you'll feel so much love. You'll feel so much love. What about when you left school? So when I left school, my best Easter moment, I've never had any. It's not as if I'm too poor. It's not as if I'm too poor. Do you know, I'm not even going to judge you because I also feel the same. Like, I don't even recall how I spent the past few years. I've been out of boarding school for the longest. I don't know, I don't know if time is passing by as quickly as it is for you. But yes, so let's talk about something else. Yeah. Let's talk about your best memory. Your best memory. Today is Social Friday and it's a random Friday as well. So your best memory. Generally, maybe it has nothing to do with comedy. So maybe the fans at home can get to know you. What do you like, you know, outside? Who is Matu outside of the comedian? Matu. Okay, so Matu is a very different guy. I'm not the same MMG you see me on videos. I figured, yeah. Yeah, like guys come out, you know, but then you just come and check it out, I'm like, huh? I just come and check it out. I'm like, I might have, but then I'll beat up my daddy. Yeah, like, you know. So I'm, I'm saying, I'm not the same MMG poor and then I'm like, okay, I was in Utanotism same, I'm not, who's he where, where, and he's glad because I'm like, I don't know, on IG you're so crazy. And then you just look like a normal guy, you see. So for me, I'm just different. Yeah, and I, I love art. Oh, you love art? I love art and apparently before I got into vines I was spoken at, at least, I was even going to ask you about music because most people tend to diversify, not only to film but music. About music, yeah. So I used to do spoken word, yeah, but I'm not doing spoken word. Why did you leave spoken word behind? See, to say my left spoken word, I decided on a joke, you are me and you just do a lot of stuff especially when you're able to do it you can do it, you can do it. You experiment with everything until you figure out whatever. But still you have to choose, no, no. Stick like one, so that's what I decided. I stick with vines and then spoken word will come but not as spoken word, it will be musical. It will be musical? Where? So who is this you're planning to work with in future? Maybe even in comedy or whatever, is there anybody in particular you would want to work with here in this country? Oh, you think their work is dope? Oh, I think their work is dope. I'm a fan of nyash. It's okay. I'm a great fan of nyash and apparently this year I want to start a musical comedy. Musical comedy, that's something so interesting. Yeah, like even my colleague, the one we do vines with, his name is Hila and we dance with him. He's a great vocalist, you see. And where is Hila and Cassius now hearing their names like it was throughout? We can tell who your besties are. Those are the guys that we shoot them with. So Hila apparently is not feeling well, so our hangi make. And Cassius is a Catholic hangi miss. Good Friday. Yeah, good Friday. So I just tried to come and represent them as well. Yes. What I feel represented, I know. So where did this powerful squad relationship come from? Did you go to this school? Yeah, I don't know. I think it's fate. When I came to campus, which campus was this? I mean the University of Nairobi. OK, just next door. Just next door. That's where we met with Hila and Cassius. I guess it's Hila. Apparently, it was funny how we met. This guy was on his phone. Hila and Cassius, his dance video. I don't know the stories of vines or anything. But then on the other side, I mean the Guides. You see, when I came to Nairobi, because there are people who compare themselves to each other. As in, your best friend is the first time I met him. I think that's how it is. Right, that's true. Because when I saw him, I thought he was a man. And I thought, well, he's a good guy. That's why you say he's a good guy now. Yeah, he's a good guy now. So I showed him again and apparently he had. Because the guys, they were laughing at my vines. So we met. And we became friends. We started shooting together. And that was the beginning of a beautiful story. And the vines and MMJ to my core. All right, great. So what have you taken? A little break because we need to come back and play some games. We don't exactly take it too seriously. At least now we know that on the other side, you're very serious and passionate, as much as people will say you come and make us laugh. I'm so sorry about that. Anyway, anyway, anyway. Please do not touch that. We're coming back. And don't invite Easter with Panari. It's a good Friday. Make sure you let us know how you're enjoying yourself. Slide into our DM at 244 channel.

I've also enjoyed myself because I also did know some of those people, by the way. You know, maybe I was like, I don't know all of these. But anyway, it's cool.
