"We had a really really strong connection, and after that we became a couple," John said.
Two videos posted to Twitter drove the bulk of early traffic to the AngelMamii7 account. One was the "chargers" video, while another depicts Angel and her son looking for milk in a grocery store:
"We don't really write anything down. I wrote some skits that did very well but usually we show up to a location and we're out driving, and we're like 'Hey, let's go over here,'" Angel said. "Next thing you know, boom, we got a video."
"Some of our skits we legitimately come up with right then and there," John said. "She'll start the skit, she'll be like alright record me, then she puts the camera on me and we go back and forth when we're filming."
"That's what we intentionally do, we intentionally try to make ourselves not make sense in a way," John said. "And that's what's been working."
The TikTok has nearly a million likes, and has led the couple to make a Part 2 and Part 3, as well as a sequel, "That's my house."
"When we're together it's especially bad ... We can't even get off the highway and go to the bathroom without getting noticed," Angel said. "Last night two people were like, 'Hey, are you Angel Mamii?' and I was like, 'No.' How am I supposed to respond to that?"
"We got people hating on us like we did something to their family," John said. "Like, 'You guys need to get hit by a bus, these videos are horrible you know.' But that's what we do, and we just shrug it off."
"Honestly I don't even look at it," Angel said. "I look at the nice comments and I skip through the hate comments. If I see something hateful I'll just glare at it. Like, OK troll. I don't have time for negativity."
However, the couple said they aren't upset by Ko's video.
"No hard feelings, but he's got four million subscribers and the video he made was mainly about us and that has nearly 4 million views on YouTube, so it's definitely gotten us some more exposure," John said.
"I don't take things to the head, we're really humble and down to earth. That's who we are, we're humble people. We're just trying to make videos and live our life and do the best we can," Angel said.
