You uploaded a video.
34
And now here we are. And gosh.

Before I used to just put videos on YouTube.

45
You're global.

It's just insane.
49
So let's get right to these questions, because everyone's watching, and they want to know these answers.
50
So let's just ask a bunch of things.
51
This first one is from KirstieB123CB from Scotland.
52
She says, how did you find the courage to put yourself singing on YouTube?
53
How did you find the courage to put yourself singing on YouTube?
54
And who inspired you to put these videos up?
55
Well, I got the courage basically because I was in a singing competition, and basically I just sang different covers and stuff,
56
and I posted those on the internet for my friends and family.
57
And sure enough, Scooter found me online and ended up introducing me to a couple people, ended up signing an usher, and that's how everything happened.
58
Scooter is your manager now, yeah.
59
Scooter is my manager.
60
Did you have videos that just went and just didn't go anywhere, and you were like, that was my big break, it didn't work out?
61
No, I mean basically we just uploaded different videos and at the beginning it's like I was getting like 100 views,
62
200 views and then it just kept getting bigger and bigger and then I just kept uploading more videos and yeah.
63
That's it right there, okay and who inspires you to put the videos up?
64
Well, I mean my mom basically always really supported me in everything I did
65
and so she gave me like the courage to be able to do it.
66
I mean it takes a lot of courage, I mean I saw Never Say Never, you guys see Never Say Never?
67
It was phenomenal, first of all, to see you busking on the street, that's crazy.
68
How old were you?
69
I was like 12 years old.
70
I had to be in bed by that time, you were out, it was like night time, you were out there with the guitar and going for it.
71
Exactly, no, it was fun, man, just being able to go out there and perform and not really like worry about what anyone thinks, just sing your heart out.
72
Yeah, and now you have, the new album is Believe, everyone picked it up, came out But this week, I want to ask questions about the record.
73
Now, this is 73Keg wants to know,
74
how did you pick the album cover for Believe?
75
The album cover.
76
Basically, we went through a bunch of different options and we just kind of picked the best ones.
77
I mean, do you, but what is it like you have to look like hundreds
78
and thousands of pictures of your face and you go like, ugh, do you get tired and go like, I don't know if I want that one or do a close up or far away or...
79
Uh, yeah, well, they basically pick the best options and then they pick like five of the same picture, but like different angle, like different faces
80
and then I just pick like my favorite ones and then they pick their favorite ones and then we go back.
81
So like, Justin be happy, Justin be angry, Justin grumpy, give me grumpy, you know, yeah, yeah, perfect.
82
Yeah, perfect, absolutely, that's what I'm talking about.
83
Did you want any with, like, you and Chuck Norris on a spaceship or something?
84
Because I could see you wanted...
85
That would have been awesome to be able to...
86
Yeah.
87
Yeah, no, but Chuck Norris is awesome.
88
Yeah, yeah.
89
So, yeah, yeah.
90
You didn't...
91
Did you know that Chuck Norris actually wears Justin Bieber pajamas?
92
Is that true? Is that...
93
Yeah, that's...
94
It's not true, but it's funny.
95
Did you ever think for a second of calling the album Belieb?
96
Uh...
97
No. Because that's why I'm not your manager.
98
Yeah.
99
I think that would be...
100
That would be a little corny, but...
101
Yeah, sorry about that.
102
I'm a little corny.
103
Uh, this is one from Belieber Emily Anne from the U .S .A.
104
She wants to know, what's your favorite song on Belieb, on your new album, Belieb?
105
Favorite song, I really like Catchin' Feelings, I really like Take You, I mean, my song favorites like change every day,
106
so, yeah, every day they change.
107
Those are two favorites, that's pretty good, take one of those, Belieber, Emily Anne.
108

109
This is from Jim Lover, three, four, five, not J -I -M, G -Y -M, so he likes the gym.
110
The gym, yeah, Jim Lover, yeah.
111
Jim Lover, okay.
112
What song took the longest to make, Unbelieve?
113
It took the longest to make.
114
Right here, right here, the song right here with Drake.
115
That took the longest because Drake started the song with me and then he was like, oh, I gotta go on tour, so he left me hanging there.
116
He left you hanging there.
117
So he went on tour.
118
So he went on tour and then we finished it when he got back, so.
119
So it took the longest.
120
So there you go right there.
121
Savannah Swagg from Wisconsin, Savannah Swagg,
122
she says what's your favorite song to perform and why?
123
My favorite song to perform, off this new record is probably As Long As You Love Me.
124
I really like that one with Big Sean and that one was really special because I got to work with Rodney Jerkins, who worked a lot with Michael Jackson.
125
And after performing on the Today Show, Rodney was there, and he was like, you know, I have a really close relationship with Michael, and I think he would have been really proud of you.
126
So it was really good to hear that.
127
I mean, would you say Michael Jackson is the ultimate character?
128
Yeah, of course.
129
I mean, he's definitely my inspiration when it comes to music.
130
It is, yeah.
131
Because you can see in some of your dance moves, I mean, you have a moonwalk thing, but it's not a moonwalk.
132
It goes in circles.
133
Yeah.
134
Yeah.
135
It's a different take on the moonwalk, yeah.
136
It's swaggy.
137
Thank you.
138

Just saying.
149
OK, I would like to do a duet with maybe, like, Beyoncé.
150
I mean, that's good.
151
She's so talented.
152
She's just talented and cute.
153
Yeah, yeah, you almost said it.
154
You almost said it.
155
Watch yourself, buddy.
156

157
She's talented and so cute.

172
Let's go to Bieber Fever from Rockford, Illinois.
173
That's a good...
174
If you have Bieber Fever, is your Twitter name?
175
There's no way.
176
That's crazy.
177
That's a tough one to get, right?
178
How did you get that?
179
I feel like everyone had that one.
180
It'd be from Rockford, Illinois, she said, what's the hardest thing you've ever done in your music career?
181
The hardest thing I've ever done?
182
Man, probably rehearse, probably be rehearsing for this tour.
183
For this new one?
184
For this new tour, I believe.
185
Yeah, just gonna be, I mean, we've started kind of a little bit, but we're about to just start boot camp really soon, just going in every day and making sure it's perfect for the fans.
186
And what is it, Jos?
187
Can you give us little hints of what you're going to give us?
188
Is it just dancing?
189
Is there a video thing?
190
No, dancing, videos.
191
I mean, the whole concept, there's going to be a lot of, there's going to be some magic involved.
192
Just some awesome...
193
You're going to do tricks?
194
I'm not going to be doing like magic tricks, but just like some magician type stuff.
195
Yeah, like...
196
That's a good hint.
197
I mean, if you look back at some of Michael's tours, he used a lot of magician -type stuff, like appearing and disappearing.
198
DAN GALPIN - Yeah, because you never knew where.
199
So we're not going to know where Justin Bieber is.
200
You're never going to know where I am.
201
DAN GALPIN - You might be in the crowd.
202
Yeah.
203
DAN GALPIN - That would be the coolest.
204
If you do that, some dude comes walking out, everyone's clapping for some dude, and then he takes his hat off.
205
And it's not you.
206
It's some security guard or something.
207
And you're in the crowd and get out.
208
I'm sure they wouldn't think that I was a security guard wouldn't really look like me.
209
I think they'd be like, oh, yeah, that's not Justin.
210
Where's Justin?
211
Yeah, that's weird.
212
Yeah, well, you have to get a security guard that looks like you.
213
Again, this is why I don't manage you.
214
But when you do do the security guard tour, it's going to be awesome.
215
Everyone's going to watch.
216
This is from official Mrs. Bieber.
217
Calm down.
218
I don't want any riots.
219
That's the official one?
220
Well, I don't know, because there's official Mrs. Bieber one.
221
So I feel like there's more, I'm official Mrs. Bieber number 45, so I don't know.
222
There's 44 other ones.
223
She wants to know, what are your plans after Believe?
224
She's not even ready for this.
225
She wants to know the next step.
226
ALAN SEALES - Already?
227
Yeah, can't you just enjoy what's going on, official Mrs. Bieber?
228
ALAN SEALES - Yeah, we just, I mean, we just started.
229
ALAN SEALES - We just got married.
230
ALAN SEALES - Yeah.
231
ALAN SEALES - We just started with Believe.
232
So yeah, that's definitely my main focus right now.
233
Now I'm not really focused on the next thing, but, yeah.
234
MALE SPEAKER 1 She said, do you have any more movies coming out?
235
MOVIES.
236
Not at the moment, but I am planning on doing some stuff shortly after this album cycle.
237
MALE SPEAKER 1 Because you did this NBC special that's coming up right after this thing.
238
MOVIES LEWIS It is.
239
MALE SPEAKER 1 All Around the World tour special.

243
MOVIES LEWIS Yeah.
244
MALE SPEAKER 1 I'm good like that.
245
MOVIES LEWIS I'm good like that.
246
MOVIES LEWIS The cameras, they just came with me.
247
I traveled all the way around the world just promoting this album.
248
And we went to Norway, Italy, Spain, a lot of different countries. So...
249
And do you get to hang out at these places?
250
When you go to these places, you go all around the world.
251
You go to Norway.
252
Like, do you get to, like, you came out here on your scooter, but do you get to scoot around Norway, or do you get to, like...
253
Not really.
254
I mean, it was pretty much, like, pandemonium everywhere.
255
They caught, it caused a state of emergency.
256
They told me I had to go to, like, this secret location, because there was too many people just...
257
They said, like, we were making commotion, like, on the Richter scale.
258
No. You almost caused an earthquake, kind of?
259
No, no, no. They said that, like, how earthquakes, because how much there was people running on the street, they was actually making some sort of movement.
260
And they said that, yeah.
261
That happens to me wherever I go.
262
It's a shame, exactly.
263
It's just because I'm overweight.
264
That's the only reason why, though.
265
But that's wild, man.
266
Yeah.
267
That's pretty crazy.
268
You're like Batman.
269
You have to hide out in the cave and then just get right to the gig.
270
Yeah.
271
I only come out when they shine that special light.
272
Yeah, I gotta say it.
273
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
274
They showed the JB sign up there.
275
This is from Fezzez for Evasks.
276
I might get that wrong.
277
Sorry.
278
Fezzez for Evasks.
279
What's the best thing about going out on tour?
280
The best thing about going out on tour is being able to perform the songs
281
that I've been working on for the past year.
282
So, like, being able to just go out there
283
and work on the different choreography and see all my fans that have been waiting, you know, a long time to see me is awesome.
284
That's got to make you feel good, seeing all your fans up close and you see, like...
285
Personal, yeah.
286
When I was watching Never Say Never
287
and they showed the people in your crowd just knowing every single word to your song, it's like, the song just came out.
288
Yeah.
289
How is that possible?
290

This one's from future famed dancers from Los Angeles.
340
She says, how did you decide where to perform on your all around the world tour?
341
How do you pick your spots?
342
Well, we picked a lot of spots that I'd never been before.
343
I mean, Norway, for example.
344
We also wanted to go to places that I knew I had large fan bases, especially going to Mexico City.
345
We performed for 300 ,000 people.
346
Well explain this because I've heard, I read about this, this was like a free concert you did or something?
347
Yeah, free concert.
348
So it was great because I knew a lot of, a lot of those kids never been to a concert before.
349
Like literally, like, you know, a lot of poverty.
350
Like can't afford tickets.
351
Yeah, so to be able to, you know, see all those people.
352
Um, you know, crying and basically, you know, because they'd never been able to go to a concert before.
353
It was a really good feeling.
354
And being moved by a live performance for the first time.
355
Yeah, of course.
356
Which is what's happening right now on YouTube, because it's free.

Yeah.
374
Definitely.
375
I mean, at some point I was like, you know, just put it down.

You had to go to the bathroom.
377
This is crazy.
378

379
Get out of here.
380
It was, you know, I wanted to show the fans behind the scenes
381

Are you a big gamer?
447
Do you play?
448
I play some video games, but I'm not like a hardcore gamer.
449
Would you have time to do it?
450
Or maybe on a tour bus?
451
Sometimes.
452
I mean, you know, after a long night, I like to just relax and not, because, and not just focus on the screen.
453
But if it's there and my friends want to play, then I'll play.
454
MALE SPEAKER 1 But you're always on Twitter all the time.
455
Every time I see you, you have your phone.
456
You're either talking to someone, taking a picture, tweeting, answering a fan.
457
I mean, are your fingers just killing you at the end of the day?
458
You're talking them in eyes?
459
I have super finger muscles.
460
MALE SPEAKER 1 You have super finger muscles.
461
Yeah.
462

Uh, I am on, well I have this like new thing, it's like Viddy.
470
It's like, it's an app, and basically I go on it and post like 15 second clips, videos, and they're really fun,
471
so you guys, if you guys want to see me do 15 second clips all the time, just download Viddy, it's cool.
472
Alright, that's a good scoop from the Biebs.
473
Nobody calls you the Biebs, do they?
474
Yeah, I mean, actually, I used to play soccer, and every time I was on the field, my teammates called me Biebs.
475
They did?
476
Yeah.
477
Because I know you're basketball, too, I've seen you play, you've got some hoops, you've got some skills.
478
Hoop skills.
479
You do got hoop skills.
480
Yeah, me and Mark Wahlberg are actually doing a movie, hopefully, a basketball movie.

486
He's a good guy.
487
OK, so this is Ifbakra from Haiti.
488
This is someone from Haiti asking you a question.
489
That's how amazing YouTube is, and this is just awesome.
490
How do you choose which fans to follow on Twitter?
491
It's kind of, it's random.
492
It's pretty random.
493
It's like whatever fan, like if I just refresh my feed on my Twitter and I see a fan that's like, please follow me, please follow me, I'll just click follow.
494
Because it's nothing for me to just click follow.
495
But it makes their day.
496
So it feels good.
497
It makes you feel good.
498
It's good.
499
It's interesting.
500
Another Twitter one.
501
This is from, it's Follow Up.
502
JB Always Love asks, how often a day do you check your Twitter?
503
I mean, I'm always.
504
Wait a second, you're checking it, yeah, yeah.
505
Oh, just sorry, Miss Bieber just hit me.
506

512
This one is from Biba Boss.
513
Biba Boss.
514
This is B -I -B -A -H.
515
B -I -B -A -H.
516
You know Biba Boss?
517
I know she is.
518
You do?
519
Is she cool?
520
Yes.
521
She is cool.
522
Okay.
523
Someone knows Biba Boss.
524
This is a real question.
525
This is actually kind of a sweet question.
526
It says, why is Avalana so special to you?
527
Oh, Avalana.
528
Well, Avalana is a girl.
529
She has a rare brain disease.
530
And it's basically, well, I met her a while ago and basically she just, I don't know, she just has a special place in my heart because, like, she was, like, a big,
531
big, big fan, and she came in, and she just was so, like, she just lights up the room.
532
How did you meet?
533
Well, she, basically, she was at the hospital, and all the doctors and everybody, like, got the press involved,
534
and basically she had, like, a mini wedding at the hospital with, like, a cardboard cutout of me, And so then she got married to me,
535
and so then they all kept calling her Miss Bieber.
536
And so then after that, I invited her to New York to meet her, and we played...
537
What did we play?
538
Yahtzee.
539
And so we got to play that and hang out, and it was fun.
540
It's really sweet to see you guys together.
541
It's just cute.
542
You guys make a good couple.
543
She's awesome.
544
Shout out to Avalana.
545
She's awesome.
546
This next one, we're getting high tech.
547
It's a video question.
548
It's a video question.
549
So here, take a look at this.
550
Hey, Justin.
551
My Ask Justin question would be, what keeps you so grounded?
552
You live in L .A.
553
You have access to all the money in the world, yet you're constantly giving back.
554
You're very charitable.
555
You meet wish kids all the time.
556
And as someone who's 10 years your senior, and I have little boys of my own, I see you as an incredible role model
557
and at 18 years old that's pretty impressive so what keeps you
558
so grounded what keeps you on the straight and narrow
559
and yeah and yeah what keeps you
560
so grounded what keeps me grounded I think it's just the the people the people
561
that I'm I surround myself with my whole team you know
562
they they they don't like there's no BS they always keep it straight with me
563
and you know if If I'm not doing something, they make sure to tell me.
564
Or if I'm doing something that's rude or disrespectful, they're quick to be like, you need to check yourself.
565
So it's great to have those people to just keep me in check in the line.
566
Because you need those people.
567
You can't just have yes men around you to just be like, oh, yeah, you're great.
568
A lot of people do, yeah.
569
They say, that's so great, man.
570
Oh my god.
571
Yeah, you're so good, yeah.
572
And that's why they start making bad albums, because they just start doing random music.
573
And then people are like, oh, yeah, it's great.
574
It's great.
575
And then they're like, yeah, this is going to be great.
576
So you have somebody to tell you, like, Justin, that was awful.
577
Not like that, but I have people that are like, you know, you could do this better or you could do this better.
578
And they're not afraid to tell me because I'm not one of those people that are like, are you serious?
579
Are you really going to say that to me?
580
Like, come on.
581
I'm perfect.
582
Get out of here.
583
That's not you.
584
Who, like, as far as singing -wise, idol -wise, Usher, of course.
585
Yeah, definitely.
586
He's definitely my mentor, and I look up to him.
587
But as far as, you know, the type of artist, it was definitely, you know, Michael, look up to him.
588
Yeah.
589
Any people around today that can call you up and be like, hey man, I saw a thing that thought that was pretty cool.
590
Do you talk to Beyonce?
591
I don't talk to Beyonce.
592
Love to.
593
But, you know.
594
She is so cute.
595
Yeah.
596
She's so cute.
597
She's so cute.
598
She's so cute.
599
Yeah, she really is.
600
Lost my train of thought.
601
Yeah, I got you.
602
If there's anyone around today that would call you and tell you, it sounds like David Guetta, that guy would call you.
603
That guy, it sounds like he's on every record I listen to now.
604
No, he doesn't.
605
David Guetta does not call me.
606
David Guetta should call you.
607
He should.
608
Him and Pitbull are on every record, right?
609
I know.
610
Yeah, every single song.
611
Pitbull is on every song.
612
Every single song.
613
Every song.
614
Ryan Seacross is like, the number one song?
615
I'm like, let me guess.
616
Yeah. But not anymore.
617
It's going to change.
618
Yeah.
619
Here we go, we have, this is from loveforever13, she says, if you could live in a house made of candy, which kind of candy would it be?
620
That's the question we all want to know.
621
Yes.
622
Finally.
623
The question that we've been asking for years, if you could live in a house made of candy, this is a tough question if you think about it, because you can't eat the house, right?
624
You want to live there.
625
Yeah, you want to live there.
626
It should be like a sturdy house.
627
Yeah, it would probably be the best and easiest to make it out of like Twix bars.
628
Yeah.
629
Yeah, because you're covered with that chocolate shell.
630
That chocolatey layer.
631
The chocolate layer.
632
And it's just like, yeah, you can stack them like bricks.
633
Like a Lincoln log.
634
Yeah.
635
Yeah, yeah, so it's like a Lincoln log cab made out of Twix.
636
Yeah, exactly.
637
Great answer.
638
Great.
639
Thank you, Love Forever 13.
640
That's a great question.
641
This is from Chels Kong from the Faroe Islands.
642
Wow.
643
They want to know, what's the first thing you do?
644
Where is that?
645
I have no idea.
646
Honestly, I think it's a made -up land in, like, Super Mario Brothers.
647
They want to know, I don't know where the Farrah Islands is, what is the first thing you do when you wake up?
648
The first thing I do when I wake up is I probably yawn, like that.
649
Do you yawn and stretch?
650
Yeah, probably.
651
And then I go and brush my teeth, get in the shower.
652
Yeah.
653
Sleep on your back?
654
You sleep side?
655
That's it right here.
656
Here we go, you guys.
657
This is how he sleeps.
658
There we go.
659
That's it.
660
Sideways.
661
Sideways scoop with one leg out.
662
All right.
663
Good man.
664
Wake up.
665
Wake up.
666
Hey, Justin, we have more stuff to do.
667
Justin, wake up, buddy.
668
Dude, wake up.
669
Sorry.
670
No problem.
671
It's a long day.
672
Yeah, no problem.
673
You have the Jimmy Fallon alarm clock anyway, so it's like the same thing.
674
Where's Fallon?
675
Actually, you know what?
676
When I wake up in the morning, I wake up and I use my Jimmy Fallon toothbrush.
677
Oh, yeah.
678
They're sold out.
679
We don't sell them, unfortunately.
680
Yeah.
681
They went out of stock.
682
I think Faroe Islands is in Denmark.
683
Hey, what's the song that sings with the singing toothbrush?
684
Isn't it?
685
Jumping out of a plane.
686
Yeah, yeah.
687
I was trying to convince him.
688
I was trying to write a song with Justin backstage.
689
I said, you should check out this jam.
690
I'm jumping out of a plane.
691
That's all I got.
692
And I was like, I thought that would be something.
693
No. But you said no immediately.
694
Yeah.
695
Thank you.
696
Oh, here we go.
697
This is from Dom12358 from Manchester, UK.
698
Dom says, any hairstyle changes planned for your future?
699
Ah, not at the moment.
700
You don't plan these things, right?
701
I don't plan.
702
No. I'm not like, oh, yeah, I'm gonna, two years down the line, do a mohawk then switch it up to sh -bald.
703
Yeah, no, you can't.
704
Actually, the girls would like you anyway with bald or sh -bald or whatever, man.
705
It's like...
706
Sh -bald?
707
Is that even a thing?
708
It's a Ricky Martin song.
709
No, that's...
710
No, trust me, it is.
711
Trust me, it is.
712
Pitbull sings on it.
713
This is from Kultz Bieber Dance.
714
She wants to know, how many pairs of shoes do you have?
715
I have a lot of shoes.
716
Yeah.
717
A lot of shoes.
718
You probably can't even count them.
719
I can't count at this point.
720
But look at these jams.
721
Can we just zoom in on these guys?
722
What do these guys look dangerous?
723
Yeah.
724
These can cut you.
725
Can you somehow lift them up towards my face?
726
Yeah, there you go.
727
That's the way it works there.
728
What, what, now where would you find those?
729
And what brand name are those?
730
That's my leg, by the way, you guys.
731
I'm very, I've been taking yoga.
732
All right.
733
No. Yeah, but they look cool right there.
734
Did you design those yourself?
735
I did, well I didn't design the actual shoe, it's Supra, but I added like the different things, like the spikes and the different things onto them,
736
because they don't come like that.
737
No. Especially.
738
This mic is so, like, just...
739
It bangs all around.
740
It's just...
741
It bangs all around is another Ricky Martin song, weirdly enough.
742
I don't know why we keep going back to it. So interesting.
743
Belieber6351 wants to know, what is your biggest fear?
744
My biggest fear is sharks.
745
Seriously?
746
Yeah.
747
Where do you find yourself in a situation where you can somehow be hurt by a shark?
748
When I swim in the ocean.
749
What kind of question is that, bro?
750
Maybe you're hopping around tanks.
751
Maybe you're going around aquarium tanks, jumping around, going crazy.
752
No, I'm not in Georgia at the aquarium just hanging out.
753
But when you're in the ocean, you think maybe, what if?
754
Yeah, sharks.
755
What if, yeah, I'm always like, I'm scared to go in like water that I can't see the bottom because then I'm like, what is in there?
756
So you're not a lake dude, you're more of an ocean guy than a lake guy.
757
I'm more of a lake guy.
758
Yeah.
759
Because lakes don't have sharks.
760
Okay, here we go.
761
This is from Kids Raul.
762
Kids Raul.
763
It's Kid Raul.
764
Yeah, I know.
765
Kids Raul.
766
Angels.
767
Oh, it's from Scotland again.
768
Do it in your Scottish accent.
769
If you didn't become famous, what do you think you'd be now?
770
What would you be doing?
771
Where would you be sitting down in a leather chair?
772
You sound like Shrek, bro.
773
I know.
774
I sound like Shrek.
775
Sorry.
776
I'm sounding like Mike Byers.
777
Sorry.
778
If you didn't become famous, what do you think you'd be now?
779
What do you think you'd do?
780
I would be probably a firefighter.
781
Yeah?
782
Yeah?
783
No. No. That's a tricky job.
784
I'd probably just write music for other people, because I like music.
785
So if I couldn't be an artist, I would just be a writer.
786
Yeah.
787
Do you write every day?
788
I don't write every day, no. I write when I'm inspired to write,
789
which is randomly on airplanes or wherever I am.
790
Really?
791
It's like, pull over.
792
Yeah.
793
No, I don't.
794
Another hit.
795
Yeah.
796
Right while driving.
797
No, you can't!
798
No?
799
No. That's totally illegal.
800
I should be on your team.
801
I can call you on that.
802
No, you can't do that.
803
Again, that's why he doesn't manage me.
804
I should have called the album Believe, I'm telling you.
805
No, here you go.
806
B -Balas asked.
807
That's creative.
808
What's the most fun prank you've ever played on anyone?
809
The most fun prank was probably the Taylor Swift prank, which was the punked episode that I did.
810
And we blew up a wedding, and she thought she was the cause of it, which was really funny.
811
Did you see that?
812
Yeah, I saw it.
813
Did she for real go, like, what?
814
She was freaking out, because all of a sudden she saw a little, it started little.
815
Like, there was a little fire, we saw smoke, and then all of a sudden it just burst into flames.
816
And she was like, look at that fire.
817
Did we cause that?
818
And then all of a sudden the neighbor comes out, but it was an actor, and he's like, what are you guys doing playing with illegal fireworks?
819
Did you guys set that boat on fire? and it was funny.
820
It was supposed to be weird yelling, watching Taylor's supposed to get yelled at.
821
So she's just like, what is happening?
822
Who thought of that?
823
You?
824
Yeah, me and the whole team at Punk'd.
825
That's pretty good.
826
The Sunny team wants to know if you had the chance to not be followed by paparazzi or fans for one day, what would you do?
827
I would just go to Walmart.
828
You would go to Walmart?
829
No, I don't know where I would go.
830
What do you mean?
831
Well, what would you do?
832
Would you go swimming in the ocean?
833
You wouldn't do that.
834
No, I would go to, uh, I would go to...
835
Would you like to go to Walmart?
836
I mean, would that be exciting for you to go to a mall and not be recognized?
837
To a mall?
838
Yeah.
839
I mean, usually when I go into a mall, it doesn't really end well.
840
No. No, because then it's like...
841
Too many glass doors?
842
Yeah.
843
Funny.
844
Thank you.
845
Thank you so much.
846
Wait, is it true you can't lift your eyebrows?
847
I feel bad for you.
848
Not anymore.
849
No. I couldn't lift my eyebrow, but I'm good now.
850
See?
851
Yeah, you can do both eyebrows.
852
Yeah, yeah, good.
853
What was that all about, though?
854
Explain to me.
855
I'm laughing because I know you're a kid.
856
All right, so I was coming off stage.
857
I'm gonna reenact.
858
I've never reenacted this.
859
Okay, good.
860
I've never reenacted this, so I'm gonna reenact it.
861
All right, so I'm coming off stage.
862
I forget what song I was singing, but I'm coming off, right? like, all right, guys, I need water.
863
I need water, right?
864
And there's a, here's a, this is the glass door.
865
That's the glass door.
866
Right?
867
But there was a glass, here's a glass door.
868
There was a glass door behind it, though, too.
869
It was like a double thing.
870
Backstage?
871
No. This is the stage right here.
872
I'm performing.
873
Yeah.
874
OK.
875
Right?
876
Then I'm running off, right?
877
Going off to find water or whatever I can find.
878
And I'm going to reach for the railing, because I'm tired.
879
And I'm going to just take a second.
880
So, I go to reach for the thing, but it turns out the railing was behind that glass.
881
So, I didn't realize that, and I went, boom, and I smashed my face, and I was like, I really hope no one saw that, and I just played it cool, and I was like, okay,
882
and I went back, and I started performing, and then while performing, I kind of felt like my face was just starting to swell, and so I was just finished this song,
883
and then after my adrenaline was gone, And I was walking off, and I was like, ah, my head.
884
And I fell in my head, and it was like a big bump.
885
And then I'm walking down the stairs, and all of a sudden, I just, I'm like, and I just pass out.
886
Gosh.
887
And that's where it leaves you hanging.
888
Just leave it right there.
889
You don't know what happens after that.
890
I don't know what happens.
891
Your life totally changed.
892
So you gotta watch the NBC special tonight to find out what happens.
893
All right, good.
894
Yeah.
895
Oh, really?
896
So it's on the special tonight?
897
It's on the special.
898
For East Coasters right now, it's about to start.
899
It's gonna start in five minutes or something like that?
900
Yeah.
901
I have one thing, just figured, something I wanted to do, because it's on YouTube.
902
And I want to thank everyone for coming here tonight.
903
Uh, and I want to thank YouTube.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
