1
What did you feel when I started the channel?
2
It’s crazy that LeBron is playing with his son.
3
Are you going to make that happen in the football world?
4
Which is your favorite one?
5
How did you feel when you hit a billion followers across everything?
6
Do you think I'm going to beat you?
7
What you felt when you saw I was going to start a channel?
8
Yeah. I knew it was gonna… Honestly, I thought you were gonna do about 20 or 30 million in the first month; when you did 60, I was like, oh my gosh.
9
It's like the most ever gained in one month before. Before you it was 20 million, and that was us, So sixty..
10
That was insane. How long did it take take you to reach 60 million?
11
Probably 13 years.
12
Yeah. Took me like..
13
Do you think I’m gonna beat you?
14
Do you think? Be honest NO!
15
It depends on what you start doing. If you start bringing in other footballers and reacting to your best plays, I think you’d crush it. If you find a rhythm, you can make some killer content.
16
But this record is for you I don't wanna beat that record, honestly You have a billion followers; I wanna have a billion subscribers on YouTube.
17
Imagine. Yeah, it would take a while, for sure.
18
It would take a while.
19
We have 324 million right now. Did you see my youtube channel?
20
Of course ¿What do you think?
21
Obviously, you’re still a professional football player, so you have a lot going on. I think you’re doing your best I think your greater asset is anyone will film with you. You could do so many cool collabs, kind of like this one.
22
You should have Tom Brady appear for a video, Speed, all these big names.
23
Also, something easy for you is like, after a big game, you could just hop in front of a mic, do a quick five-minute talk about what happened.That would be super easy for you, but you’d have so many people wanting to know what you think, you know.
24
What do you think? Or....
25
Bro, can you imagine Ronaldo reacting to a video of his top 10 goals? Can you imagine how crazy that would be?
26
You know that goal where you did a bicycle kick? I’ve seen that at least a hundred times.
27
I’d love to know what you were thinking when you decided to do bicycle kick.
28
That would be great I don’t think that would hard staff; do more football related things.
29
Because that’s why we love you.
30
How did you feel when you hit a billion followers across everything?
31
most-followed man on the planet. It was good.
32
Good achievement, ,but I wasn’t surprised, to be honest.
33
I know the passion that the people have for me and for football as well.
34
Yeah, For the the career I still do it, I felt that passion, so it wasn’t a surprise.
35
I feel happy.
36
but in the same way no suprised. I'm the same way. Every time I hit the marks it's like: cool Yes, yes, yes.. Exactly.
37
Everyone tells me I should celebrate, and it’s like, why?
38
I feel the same way.
39
On YouTube, when people get a video recommendation, you know the image that pops up?
40
Yes, they told me now. The thumbnail.
41
I’m known for my thumbnails so so I’ll give you a few tricks. Usually , you put your face in the thumbnail, O, so whenever you take photos of your face, keep your mouth closed. I used to do this with my mouth open, and people hated it.
42
Oh. Really?
43
Yeah, they said it’s cringe. So keep your mouth closed and get some good high-quality shots of your face for your team to use in thumbnails. Got it, got it, So you I want to show expression, so you just like.
44
But it's cringe because there is 30 people watching. Next Question, next question.
45
I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
46
Where do you feel the country you have the most..? Most fans?
47
Oh, um, when we go anywhere in South America, things get crazy. One time we were in Chile, and like we are in a hotel and fans literally surrounded the hotel and started knocking on every door I'm sure you have weird things happening.
48
we had to leave the hotel and I think they had to evacuate it it because so many fans sit in the hotel lobby. This mostly happens when we are un South America.
49
In the U.S., people are more chilled, but when we go international, they are like a hole different breed.
50
I guess it's because not many famous people like really our creators from our world visit South America.
51
So when they do, it’s a big deal.
52
Where do you live?
53
North Carolina. A tiny town So there is good. It's cool Oh, yeah.
54
I just... I live in my studio.
55
. We have a big studio where we film videos, and I live there. I never leave.
56
The worst thing...
57
I assume you fly private everywhere. Flying commercial sometimes is brutal. It's brutal, right?
58
It's like... uhhff I don’t do it in so so many years.
59
I would pay money to see Ronaldo flying comercial to see how.. The reactions Imagine putting on some glasses and record the reactions. That would be awesome!
60
That is good content for YouTube could you imagine if he had the Ray-Ban’s on recording and then went out on a commercial flight; the amount of photos people would ask for.
61
I mean, they’d have to cancel the flight.
62
A normal seat. Imagine. To go and stay there waiting to my… No, he wouldn't do it because, he is obviously way more famous than me. If I sit in a normal seat, you have people running up and down the aisle asking for a photo, a photo...
63
With him, the entire plane would turn into a Photo booth . It would be insane.
64
I'm thirty-nine And a few months...
65
Okay. Almost forty.
66
You’re about to die! What's it like?
67
I'm going to live until 100.
68
I just want to let you know.
69
And you know in football, this is a long career Because most of the time people retire at 33, 34, 36.
70
You’re like the LeBron James of football.
71
Yeah. I wanted to ask you when you think you gonna retire from this.
72
Never. Never. Oh, good.
73
I’ll probably be doing when I’m 90 I’m like you; I want to live over a hundred.
74
I don’t know how, but with technological advances, they have to find a way to slow down aging, So hopefully... You’re going to do this forever.
75
I mean, if I stopped, what would I do, watch TV?
76
Maybe you have another passion or something that you… I just enjoy building busineses; you know, running the channel to me feels like building a company.
77
It's good. Good to know that He is getting harassed by a fly!
78
Someone just clip this!
79
I see the fly over his eyes, and I think it landed on him.
80
a very much.
81
I buried myself alive for seven days.
82
But you did? Yeah So this is my coffin and they put twenty thousand pounds of dirt on me.
83
and I spent a week lying down in a coffin.
84
I’m under there. Cristiano realizing what it means to be a YouTuber.
85
People knew it’s real, we time lapsed the whole thing.
86
But how you feel?
87
Horrible. I couldn’t move for a whole week.
88
There was a fly trap in the coffin too.
89
You didn’t move for a week?
90
Yes, just lying down there.
91
This is after seven days.
92
This is when they dug me up.
93
But you are like… This is the doctor who pulled me out; they thought I had a blood clot, so a medic had to check when I came out.
94
How did you feel inside? bad?
95
it was horrible because I was in a coffin, so the floor was wood, and my back hurt.
96
Your back, right? Yeah Yeah, so I did 7 days buried alive and also spent 7 days in solitary confinement in a padded room, with no interaction, no time.
97
Brother, you’re crazy, huh?
98
Yeah, that one was brutal. Tyler, what else did we do?
99
I did 7 days on a deserted island, which made me want to die.
100
Then seven days on a raft drifting, seven days, yes, and seven days in an underground city seven days in an abandoned city...
101
... My fans love watching me suffer, so I do things that make me miserable, and they find it funny.
102
Wow, It's crazy So, this are the most hardest one?
103
This one? No. What would you say are the hardest, Tyler?
104
(The solitary.That ones are crazy) Yeah.
105
Which are the solitary?
106
Here, I'll show you. (No one spoke to him in seven days straight) No phone? Nothing? But where? (In a white padded room) Let me show you, it’s pretty wild.
107
when did we upload this video, Tyler? Is it an old one?
108
When did you start doing these, the videos and the channel?
109
Oh, I’ve been doing this since I was 11 S. So I’ve been doing it for about 15 years, this is all I’ve erver done.
110
This is the solitary confinement one. So an entire...
111
It’s just me in this white padded room, and I had no clue what time it is.
112
Oh, my God.
113
And it’s soundproofed.
114
Was this the hardest one?
115
Oh yeah, this one is so hard. The lights never turned off; so you don’t see the sun or anything; and see you just want to tell simulation.
116
And then, there were 90 hours in, and that was all I had, so it was brutal.
117
So, that video for example. That got a hundred.
118
How many? A 189 million views, 186.
119
And people loved it. They love watching me suffer.
120
Jimmy…so it’s kind of just fun.
121
Which video has more views?
122
The most-viewed… yeah, is it the Squid Game still?
123
Yeah, So yeah. We recreated Squid Game in real life, and it got 600 million views.
124
I put 100 people in a circle, and the last one to laugh won half a million dollars.
125
This one has almost half a billion views.
126
So this video 4% of the humans alive have watched.
127
So look at this: I said, I don’t care how long it takes; the last one to leave the circle takes the half-million dollars in the middle.
128
and it went on for weeks.
129
And people were just wondering, how long will they sit in the circle?
130
That was funny. Amazing.
131
What is your favorite one?
132
Oh, I like them all. I mean… This video is the one that broke the internet.
133
It’s the most-viewed video on YouTube in just 24 hours.
134
so no other video in YouTube history has gotten more views in 24 hours.
135
We brought the biggest YouTubers on the planet and put them inside a big cube.
136
So, all these really famous content creators, who your kids will definitely know.
137
We built a huge cube and put them in there, and said whoever laugh last, could give away a million dollars to one of their subscribers.
138
Okay, Okay Basically, everyone was in there.
139
It’s like if you got the 50 biggest football players and put them in a room, and had them do something.
140
It just broke the internet.
141
That video got 70 million views in 24 hours, and people loved it.
142
Good good good.
143
Do you like other sports?
144
I love basketball.
145
Basketball? Yeah Do you watch basketball?
146
Not much. I love watching Steph Curry shoot three-pointers from half-court.
147
Ahh, good. And it’s crazy how LeBron it's now playing with his son.
148
: Are you going to make that happen in the football world?
149
Maybe. I'll see. He is fourteen now..
150
Maybe he’ll play when he’s 17, so you’d have to play for 3 more years.
151
Let’s see, let’s see how my legs are doing; we’ll see.
152
Your son is watching, maybe we could ask him to help us out.
153
He knows more things than me, about this world, YouTube, he knows everything.
154
So,I heard this is your water brand? Yes What made you want to do it?
155
Basically, a good product.
156
A good quality water for me, it’s the most important.
157
Doesn’t matter if it's water or supplemets for example.
158
If it’s a nice product, I want to be associated with it.
159
Makes sense. Yes.
160
This is what I think.
161
How do you deal with the fame?
162
How do I deal with it? Yeah.
163
Well, right now, probably like you, I just work all the time, so I don’t have much time to...
164
As you said now, it's your first time in Saudi, I invite you to come to any game of your choice.
165
And your team swell, to come and watch a game in the period of Riyadh season.
166
Which is the most iconic one, with big events.
167
What’s the biggest game? Who’s your biggest rival?
168
It’s Al-Hilal… yeah, yeah.
169
Let me know when they play Al-Hilal.
170
We play now, next month, and then we have the second leg.
171
If you want to come, I’ll invite you.
172
That would be fun.
173
And you’ll love it. Saudi is a lovely country.
174
love. It's all these lovely country.
175
If I come to watch you, you’d better win… Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't worry.
176
So you’re invited whenever you want, and you’ll be very welcome.
177
Thank you.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
