Yes, I was so surprised.
Like, when I first got word that, I'm sorry, I'm so tired.
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah.
I first got word that we was on the Ellen Show,
I was at my brother house.
And I was just, like, my hand just started shaking.
I was, like, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, like,
what is going on here?
And I ran outside.
Ran up, down the street, was crying.
People was looking out their house, like,

And I'm just like, oh my god, I was all like The Ellen Show!
It's just like, oh man.
Like, this so crazy.
Y'all are amazing.
So who's who?
Who's Timothy and who's Malik?
I'm Timothy.
Timothy and Malik.
I'm Malik, yeah.
OK.
And how did you two meet?
Well I was in the 12th, and my friend right here, Malik,
was in the 9th.
And I remember I was going cross country and I had seen Malik.
And I'm like, man this boy look just like me a little bit.
Never see him a day in my life, he look just like me.
And then later on that day, I went to band practice.
And I seen him.
And I was like, he must be following me.
Nah.
Must be following me around the school.
And that's when I asked him, like, what you doing here?
I'm gonna play drums.
I was like cool.
And then later on that day, after band practice,
I was like, hey you wanna come over my house?
I didn't even know him or nothing.
Like I just asked him, like, you wanna come over my house.
He like, yeah.
He came over my house, I gave him a pop tart.
I remember that.
I gave him a pop tart.
I remember the pop tart.
Yeah.
What flavor was it?
Oh it was the brown sugar pop tart.
I always got brown sugar pop tarts.
Yeah, I toasted it and all that.
Yeah, you toasted it?
Yeah, that's great.
That's good.
And then we just went outside and played basketball.
Did you have anything to eat either?
I think I ate the other pop tart.
You know how they come in two?
Yeah, they come in two.
All right, and why did you all, did you both
play drums, obviously, that you saw him play drums?
No I didn't know he played drums at first.
No, I have played at my church, like, here and there,
but I never play, like--
How did y'all learn these tricks?
Well, we were self taught at first.
By Mr. Darrell Taylor.
Shout out to Darrell Taylor.
Shout out.
That's our drum instructor.
We basically taught each other how to, like, do the stuff
you want to see, all the--
Flashy stuff.
Yeah.
So you taught yourself that?
Yeah.
So you must go through a lot of drumsticks, right?
Yeah, yeah we do.
Yes we do.
These are brand new.
Just about every week, we go through drum sticks.
We'll be playing, we'll throw them at the ground,
and, like make them bounce back up,
but sometime, we throw them at the ground
and they don't come back.
And we look at them and it's broken in half and we're like.
All right, well we have something for you.
We have some, because we knew you
went through a lot of drumsticks, so.
Oh my gosh.
Yo.
Oh my god, it's so heavy.
Great.
Put them down right here on the table.
Oh my goodness.
Because if you reach in there, our friends at Shutterfly
were inspired by your story.
They want to make sure you keep drumming.
So they're giving each of you $10,000.
Oh my god.
Oh
my goodness.
We'll be right back.
