Hope and Grace:

We're back. I do a little extra one because, you know, it has been all summer since we've been back. Do you even know what you're listening to? This is Getting Ground Nuts, a podcast about the Ground Nuts family. It's a puppet Christian content show. You know, just check it out. I'm sorry. Did I not introduce anybody yet? What happened? No, you didn't introduce me. That's for sure. Oh. I don't think I introduced myself. It's been a while. We're rusty. We're getting back into it. This is Hope. This is Grace. And we're talking about Groundnuts. Duh. It's a Christian content puppet family. Games, lessons, stories, all of it. All of it. Truegroundnuts.com. you know on YouTube at True Ground Nuts TV but who cares about that I do but let's talk about what we've been doing since we've been gone I know some of you are like oh my gosh that was so loud and I agree I agree but I'm not taking it back here's what we've been doing since we've been gone Wow, we've been doing, just revamping our social media, making sure we have content, I believe, daily. Daily? Look, we can first talk about that. I don't think your favorite people are doing that. Not with a team of two, they're not. That's right. What are they doing? So Sundays, we have Guess the Tea. So we have That's Coco's Game, Guess the Bible Character. And then Mondays, we have our Monday 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 word shuffle, which used to be Pa Kola's game now, which is general. And then we alternate and then we do Bible math. Because I feel like Bible math is a hard one. So we don't want to do it every week. Y'all need to read your scripture. This is number one. Y'all up there not knowing how many days God took to create creation. You're not knowing the brothers of Joseph? I mean, it's an open book quiz. Like, you can look it up. But they're not reading their scripture. There it is. Cracking it cracks their soul. Not cracking it. And they don't, they can't do it. They'd rather listen to a sermon than scripture. Shout out to Pastor Phillip. for saying that I didn't make it up guys y'all want to listen to sermons and not open your scripture speaking of sermons Wednesday the day everyone looks forward to pastor sermon prep Wednesdays absolutely so tell me about that what do y'all what do you do oh man I turned secular into sanctified is what we do what did you notice about the trends of the type of music I think that people like R&B, man. So I'm just seeing, I'm not doing only R&B, but I just see that the R&B ones, these little 90s babies are loving it. That's right. So check out, what is it? True Ground Nuts, right? Yeah, True Ground Nuts everywhere. True Ground Nuts on social media. It's going to be TikTok. It's going to be Instagram. It's going to be, well, not Facebook. We'll talk about that later. But sometimes I accidentally post on Facebook. I think that's what happened yesterday. I liked it. I said, okay, welcome back. I meant to put it on a YouTube shorts. 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 few seconds? So that's every Thursday, Friday depends. If a video is coming out on Saturday, we do a trivia time where you guess whatever's happening to tease the video for Saturday. So on non video, debuting weeks, we do know the emoji. So that's the emoji game. So it's hit or miss. You either know it or you don't. Or you don't. And who is thinking this hard that 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 song every other Saturday. And when we don't put out a song, we are putting out something called Did You Catch That? Which we will go back to past songs to So You Don't Forget Yes. So that's our week. That's what we do every single week. And are you following every single week? Did you see the gold that she just mentioned? And then you're just there nodding, saying amen. I said subscribe. I said like. I said share. Talking about amen. Getting a little aggressive there. 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 on Instagram. It's a beast. It's pretty bad. But thank you guys for the 32. I think we hit over 100 on TikTok. Yay. Pretty sad for TikTok, but I like it. Yeah. If I talked to a room of 100 people, I wouldn't be mad. That's good. So it's all about perspective. But everybody listening should be subscribed to there as well. It just makes your life easier, right? How not? And more sanctified. Let's talk about that. You're wanting to watch these other people dancing, gyrating, doing un- uh holy jokes girl okay but these puppets who have a holy boldness all right no she didn't and that's a problem so that's what we're doing on social media yes oh my goodness we also have worksheets i'm not gonna take credit for this at all this is all grace you know the idea you know was joint because we needed we knew we needed something it's like okay we got videos but what else so we were like let's make worksheets for each song so we have these worksheets they They've been done since like June, but we've been trying to figure out how. We've been trying to figure out how to bring them to the masses. First of all, y'all don't support nothing anyway. Is it supposed to be free so y'all can just suck us dry? 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 by lesson download? Do you get the packages by character. I don't know, man. I don't know. Do you get 10 free and then you got to pay? I don't know. I think it's because you don't want the website to look too cluttered because we have about what, over 40 songs now or something. And so you don't want just each worksheet. So we were thinking, put the bundle based on the character. It's like, oh, Ma Hazel's featured songs, Pa Kola's featured songs. And you won't really know that. Like off head, the person wouldn't know that, but at least you're bundling it. And then you're like, oh, is it? And then you'll think about it more and be like, oh, what's that one song? And I don't know. If you are real, real, maybe you'll get it. But I don't know. With the bundling, with the free, not free, we kind of been in a holding pattern because I think to house it the way we want to house it, it's going to cost us money. But we're not going to get a reimbursement from that from the audience. So... We've been trying to figure it out. 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 with Hope's kids. Kids are brutal. And they said, I like this. You know? And some things they don't like. So worksheets to come. But most importantly, since we'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 the season May 21st. So since then, we've come out with 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 on YouTube. So then it's a good one. It's a good one. I'm just talking about my favorites. Okay. We're not going to get through this list. Okay. 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 of July weekend. That's probably why it's a little low. So don't let the low numbers scare you all. Yeah, the kids did a great job. It's a banger. My kids are on it. That's where my voice is a little shaky. And we brought back rap. So check out 10 Commandments song. The Beatitudes. That did very well. R&B. R&B. And uh The amazing Blow the Horn Revelation song. Oh, yeah. If you're scared of the end times, don't be. Because this song is going to tell 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. It probably gave you like, you know, strained your vocals. Oh yeah, you know, singing like a pastor is... It's work. Right. But that's to come. We're going to do a behind the beats on that one in the coming weeks. And then most recently, just this 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. 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 came out during the summer. So we didn't take a break from working. We just took a break from the podcast. Can we do something? Well, we needed content. You can't just go straight. every week without the content to talk about so we needed a break so we can have something to talk about right yeah sure we weren't tired well we were definitely tired too okay just checking I didn't know how real we're gonna be so that's what we've been up to and we just we know there's so much more to come just stay with us thank you for those who have been with us you know and so you know I know they're the day one part they're someone who likes all the crap yeah shares it, does it, even listen to the podcast front and back.
