Shonduras AMA! Professional Fun Haver on Snapchat and YouTube

Can you do a Shonduras or Spacestation Stuff video about your entire editing process from you sending footage to Chicken to him doing all the editing?

awesome idea.. coming soon..

Hey Shaun

I was wondering if you share Tall Chickens origin story?

my parents adopted him when i was 9

How old was he when your parents adopted him?

like 14 i think

have you had any missionary opportunities as a result of your snapchat/youtube endeavors or do you prefer to keep work seperate from faith?

i love discussing that stuff in person with people... but i dont share much publicly, try to share what i believe by example.

The Spacestation Crew has grown a lot lately, does Jenny ever feel weird being the only girl?

she hangs out with everyones wives, but yeah, she is usually the only one on camera and is pretty cool about it!

Hey guys. I was wondering what cool videos and projects you have planned for the future ?

we just customized all the Drift Carts!!
TAKING THEM TO A REAL TRACK TOMORROW!

I know this is an old topic now, but I don't think you've ever addressed it: what are your thoughts on forced positivity? I don't ask this out of malice or distrust or anything as I genuinely enjoy your content, but I AM very interested in your perspective as someone who always tries to have the best day ever. How much of a challenge is it for you? Do you feel that challenge is a nuisance, or is it part of adding to your overall excitement? How do you feel about people who fake positivity and try to profit off of it? I'm really curious and eager to hear your thoughts!

i can only speak for myself, but my time spent in Honduras brought a ton of challenges, rough days, and hard situations... since i was there for 2 years i really learned how to focus on the positive, and it really made life more awesome. When i returned back home i tried to keep it going (example: you drop your phone and the screen cracks, your options are have a bad day and be mad, or not worry about it and continue having a good day) it takes practice but is something i actually try to keep going..

soooooo when i made the youtube channel i wanted to share that message..

If you can go anywhere in the world where would you go?

Do you ever feel like youtube consumes your life? Or have you found a way to incorporate your YouTube life with your family life without it affecting it too much? Thanks! I love your vlogs

really helps to have a team... just filming my fun feels natural (been doing it since the skateboarding days) then i am able to chill and do other stuff while while it gets edited.

Will you make a new snapchat tutorial on tips and how you make your awesome stories? Also, which one of you want to 1v1 me rocket league?

How do you really know chicken!? Watch you everyday and it drives me crazy all the different answers lol

we started a lawn mowing business together like 6 years ago, chicken mowed over someones cats tail, so we got shut down and decided to start doing snapchat and youtube stuff together.

Are you ever concerned about having Adley in the videos and potentially disliking that once grownup?

If Pookie and Chicken were drowning, who would you save?

i would start looking for brandon to make sure he was safe.... once i found brandon i would return to pookie and brandon to see if one of em was still alive and i would save that person.

Will @tall-chicken be performing in the upcoming JATA reunion show with Mercury Retrograde and Chris Yanetta?

yeah, we are thinking about bringing back the band that me and chicken started together in highschool "Anatomy of a Hate Crime"

Hey Shaun & Crew!

When can we expect a Shonduras-brand cereal for sale? That would be awesome.

Also, what do you think about an "Iron Chef" competition between all of the crew for a Spacestation Stuff video. Dill?

Greetings to all the space station crew

i miss La Ceiba heart eyes emoji

What where the last 3 jobs you had before YouTube?

-- Snapchat

Shaun, I think what you have done on social media has been one of the fastest and strongest achievements I've seen since the early days of Vine. You seem to understand and be one step ahead of everyone else when it comes to personal branding. How have you been able to scale this quickly, without diluting your brand?

thanks man, means a lot, especially coming from someone who knows the industry well like you!! its a weird combination of keeping things random and weird..... while also running my social media like a business and planning out everything, longterm. its a balance

Is chicken's name tall chicken because he's tall and hunts and pecks while he types?

kinda. not really.

I have a question, what dating site did Tall Chicken find his computer on?

PChub

Did Tall Chicken ever pursue the Olive Garden girl?

She was crushing HARD on ya man....

remember that baby he was swinging in the vlog a couple days ago ;)

how come Brandon is the coolest out of all of you?

probs the beard, or the N7 Jacket, or the laugh, or everything about him.

Hey Shaun How many areas did you serve in Honduras?? Were you a district leader or zone leader?

like 4 areas, was in each one for a long time, never in the city... always in the mountains or little villages, it was awesome!! I had a couple leadership positions which taught me a lot!

Holladay was AP ;)

What do you do to stay positive when things get really tough? How do you make the hard days still the "best day ever"?

just a decision you have to make... takes awhile to get use to it and not focus on things that suck... i learned while in Honduras and then it just stuck... sure makes life more awesome tho
