For the next 24 hours,
2
I will attempt to survive in the world's most dangerous bed.
3
This bed has a maximum height of 100 feet.
4
A mystery YouTuber will be giving me challenges throughout the day.
5
The more challenges I fail,
6
the higher my bed kids.
7
Wish me luck.
8
All right, Ben, it's bedtime.
9
It's still light outside.
10
It doesn't matter.
11
Come on, I don't want to go to sleep.
12
Get in there.
13
I don't want to go to sleep.
14
Get out there.
15
Ben, we're starting you at 15 feet.
16
Oh my God.
17
Yeah.
18
Bye, Ben.
19
We'll see you later.
20
No. I'd rather sleep in my own bed, not up here.
21
I know he's only 15 feet in the air,
22
but our goal is for Ben to be all the way in the sky by the end of this video.
23
What's up, guys?
24
It's FaZe Rug, and I'm going to be controlling these challenges.
25
What?
26
No, no, no, no, no. I have an insane list of challenges
27
that are either going to get your bed lowered or raised.
28
Oh, dude, I like the sound of that.
29
I don't like the sound of that at all.
30
After the last challenge, you must stay overnight at whatever height you're at.
31
So if you don't want to be in the clouds,
32
you better win some challenges.
33
All right, we're going to look at the first challenge that FaZe Rug sent us.
34
Let's see what's going on here.
35
Okay, Ben, for this challenge,
36
you're going to have five tries to shoot a basketball into the hoop below.
37
You make a shot, you go down five feet.
38
But if you miss, you go up five feet.
39
What?
40
Good luck.
41
Ben sucks at basketball, too.
42
I know he does.
43
Hey, today's the day I'm good at basketball because I'm going to need it.
44
I cannot miss this.
45
I do get five tries,
46
and all I need to make is just one.
47
Oh, s***.
48
Here we go.
49
Three, two, one.
50
Oh!
51
That was close.
52
Please.
53
Come on.
54
Oh, no. Don't make it, Ben.
55
Let's go, baby.
56
Let's go.
57
No!
58
Ben, this is not our fault.
59
You literally missed all five shots,
60
so you know what that means.
61
Boom!
62
Go!
63
Go!
64
Go!
65
No. No. Press that thing harder.
66
It's starting to get very, very shaky up here.
67
The higher this thing gets,
68
the more wobbly it gets.
69
It's also windy.
70
Terrible timing.
71
Since you're almost in the clouds,
72
I challenge you to make a paper airplane.
73
What?
74
But it must fly at least 100 feet.
75
A paper airplane?
76
You get to make three paper airplanes,
77
but just one of them has to cross the red line.
78
Does he even know how to make a paper airplane?
79
And it's really windy right now.
80
How is he going to make it that far?
81
Guys, I'm holding on for dear life.
82
Bring me down.
83
All right, Ben, we got three of your papers here.
84
We're going to toss it in this little bucket,
85
hoist it up to you so you can make your bad paper airplane.
86
Three pieces of paper.
87
Really?
88
Ben, you have to make it past this line one time to go down.
89
Just past the line.
90
That's the only thing you need to do.
91
Piece of paper number one.
92
I'm going for the simple approach.
93
Okay, go like this.
94
Open it up again.
95
Another one right here.
96
Fold it down the middle.
97
All right.
98
That looks pretty good.
99
Doesn't look good.
100
It's looking like a kind of an ugly paper airplane, but seems confident.
101
Three, two, one.
102
Bro, that was backwards.
103
No way.
104
Let's just forget that ever happened.
105
I'm going to start making paper airplane number two.
106
Hopefully do a little bit better than that.
107
Okay, he's taking a little bit of a different approach.
108
I see a little bit of a different shape.
109
This one maybe could make it over.
110
Paper airplane number two.
111
It's looking a lot pointier.
112
Is he kissing the plane?
113
Three, two, one.
114
Oh, oh.
115
Oh.
116
Oh!
117
Oh!
118
Oh!
119
It hit the red line and bounced back.
120
If it went a little bit more over,
121
Ben would be going down.
122
They didn't make any sort of rule.
123
They just said, here's your paper.
124
Get it past the red line.
125
So I'm going for a paper UFO.
126
What kind of plane is this guy making?
127
It looks like he's making a freaking rock.
128
Y'all ever seen a paper UFO?
129
Wow.
130
OK.
131
3, 2, 1.
132
Oh!
133
Bro!
134
Dude!
135
No!
136
This guy technically cheated and still didn't even make it across the line.
137
Oh, here we go.
138
Raise that bet.
139
Hold on tight.
140
Raise that bet.
141
We're going up.
142
Raise that bet.
143
We're going up.
144
Raise that bet.
145
We're going up.
146
Raise that bet.
147
Challenge number three.
148
Let's see what FaZe Rug says.
149
For this next challenge, I want you to pick a player.
150
Oh.
151
Hey, Ben.
152
You need to pick a player.
153
Pick a player?
154
I'm going to go with Jeremy.
155
Woo.
156
What?
157
All right, let's find out what the challenge actually is.
158
Now that you picked your player,
159
bring out the slip and slide soccer.
160
The boys will be playing slip and slide soccer.
161
First of three points wins.
162
If your player wins, you get lowered but if your player loses,
163
you get raised simple as that good luck first of three points
164
and slip and slide soccer I need Jeremy to win if I want to go down
165
This guy just scored on his own goal Oh, they're both down.
166
Come on.
167
Let's go.
168
Let's go.
169
Yes.
170
That's what I'm talking about, Jeremy.
171
Come on.
172
That hit Derek's butt, bro.
173
Yes.
174
Let's go.
175
Two to one.
176
All Jeremy needs is one more point, and I'm going down.
177
Oh, almost to the legs.
178
Oh.
179
Oh.
180
Oh.
181
Bro.
182
Oh, my God.
183
Ow.
184
Oh.
185
Yes.
186
As soon as I fell down, he scored.
187
No.
188
two baby derek scored it's two to two next point wins dude
189
that shot was great behind the back baby wait is
190
that even legal i mean to be honest there's probably no rules
191
because they're literally playing in soap right now whatever just happened derek got the point
192
which means jeremy loses derek wins
193
and i am going up once again yo every single challenge
194
has caused me to have to go up What is going on?
195
Saw that?
196
What's his name?
197
Messi?
198
Dude, nice trick shot you made right there, bro.
199
Yeah, you're welcome.
200
That was nice.
201
Oh, dude.
202
Thank you.
203
Thank you.
204
Jeremy lost that challenge, and all of a sudden, he's happy about it.
205
I am pretty mad that I lost,
206
but hey, that means Ben gets to go up even more.
207
In three, two, one.
208
He's going up.
209
He's going up.
210
He's going up there.
211
Oh, crap.
212
That was way more than five feet.
213
That was like at least 15.
214
Let's see what we got for the next challenge.
215
All right, Ben.
216
It's time for some fear pawn.
217
But this time, everyone's going to participate.
218
Whatever cup your ball lands in, you do the punishment.
219
Okay.
220
What?
221
Faze Rug, what is that for, man?
222
Actually, wait.
223
I don't know why I'm celebrating.
224
I'm still involved in this one.
225
But honestly, as long as I'm not the only one doing it, I'm happy.
226
Dude, I thought we're supposed to be,
227
you know, messing with Ben.
228
Why are we getting involved in this now?
229
Let's bring in a fear pong.
230
So I guess we have all three of our names on a ball.
231
And whichever one goes in which basket,
232
that's a punishment that we have to do.
233
I didn't think Faze Rug was going to throw our names in here like this.
234
But I guess we have to do it now.
235
All right, Ben, our balls are inbound.
236
Each time, this is going to take longer and longer to give to him because he just keeps on going higher.
237
Bro, this is so high.
238
All right, I have Derek,
239
Jeremy, and I's balls up here.
240
It's time to play some fear pong.
241
We can't see the punishments until after the fact.
242
We don't even know what's in there.
243
Here goes Jeremy.
244
First try.
245
Oh, I hope that one wasn't that bad,
246
or I'm going to block FaZe Rug.
247
Derek's going next.
248
Stop.
249
Oh.
250
Yes.
251
Is it a Bron James up there?
252
Last but not least, my ball.
253
What?
254
Let's go!
255
Bro.
256
There's no way.
257
There's no way.
258
Let's reveal all the punishments.
259
I got a wedgie, and I got frigging water balloon attack.
260
Then you got wax football,
261
whatever that's supposed to mean.
262
What?
263
That one definitely sounds like the most painful.
264
All right, first things first,
265
Jeremy's in his underwear, and we're tying him up.
266
The fact that I get to wedgie him is amazing.
267
This is the dumbest thing I think I've ever had to do before.
268
And I thought Faye's rug was cool.
269
He is cool.
270
He thought of a really cool challenge.
271
It's time to give Jeremy the biggest wedgie on planet Earth.
272
All right, Jeremy, ready to feel the pain?
273
No, when I pull this rope it wedgies Jeremy three two one.
274
Oh
275
Hey, since you had such a great time watching me get
276
a wedgie We're gonna bring up all these water balloons up the bend
277
and he's gonna pour them down on you This is at least like 20 pounds of straight water balloons
278
and water it's water balloon time.
279
Let's go I like you, Faye's wrong!
280
Ow!
281
Ow!
282
Keep on going!
283
I don't like this!
284
Faye's wrong.
285
Keep on going.
286
I don't like this.
287
Ow.
288
So it is now time for football wax.
289
What that means, we got a football here and a wax strip here.
290
He can put it on any body part of his choice,
291
and he has to throw this football as far as he can so it rips this off.
292
What?
293
What do you mean what?
294
It's a punishment.
295
Throw it up.
296
I have no choice.
297
Got the football.
298
Now it's time to put the wax strip on.
299
Here's the field goal.
300
We're wide open.
301
Got the ball.
302
Got the wax strip.
303
Just got to throw it.
304
Three, two, one.
305
Oh, it didn't even rip it off.
306
Did it work?
307
I got to rip it off myself now.
308
Oh, no. Three, two, one.
309
Oh, that was so bad.
310
Let's see what Ruggs got cooking for the next challenge.
311
Better not be involved with me or Derek.
312
Exactly.
313
All right, Ben, just to mess with you a little bit,
314
I'm going to send a drone to fly around you for 10 minutes.
315
But if you somehow make it crash, I'll lower you.
316
What?
317
All right, guys, we got the drone.
318
Time to annoy Ben.
319
All I'm going to do is make that thing crash.
320
I'm going down.
321
Watch out, Jimmy.
322
Here comes the drone.
323
Hey, you think it's going to annoy me?
324
Oh.
325
I don't think it will.
326
Let me try to get it.
327
Come on.
328
Come closer.
329
Come closer.
330
Trying to grab the drone might cause me to fall off.
331
I got to be careful.
332
Come on.
333
Come closer.
334
Come closer.
335
Come closer.
336
Ben, if you don't find out a way on how to make that thing crash,
337
you're going up.
338
So you got to think outside the box.
339
I have an idea.
340
Sacrificing my pillow.
341
No. Oh.
342
I missed the pillow.
343
I'm sacrificing my blanket.
344
There is no way he's tearing apart his bed right now to hit this drone.
345
I just took apart my bed to get this drone down.
346
He's supposed to sleep up there.
347
What is he going to do?
348
Sleep against the hard metal?
349
There's no way.
350
All right, the drone is starting to kind of annoy me.
351
It's just buzzing in my ear all day long.
352
I'm not happy with this.
353
I got to get this thing down.
354
Bro, he just knocked the drone down.
355
I crashed the drone and I got to keep my blanket.
356
I didn't have to throw it.
357
This is the first time Ben has ever gotten lowered in this challenge since he hit the drone.
358
Bring me down.
359
Honestly, Ben, I'm proud of you.
360
You swatted the drone down, so...
361
You get to go down.
362
This is lame.
363
So lame.
364
I'm coming down.
365
That's enough.
366
We got down.
367
We're not down.
368
We're still very high, but not as high as we were.
369
Let's see what Rug has next for Ben.
370
After all these challenges, I'm sure you're hungry.
371
Wait, he's bringing up food?
372
I'm gonna send up some food right now,
373
but you must blend it all together and drink it.
374
If you drink it, you get lowered.
375
If you refuse to drink it, you get raised.
376
That is disgusting I'm sorry in advance What kind of food could be coming up here?
377
Don't be excited because you have to blend up all the food
378
and then eat it All I heard was someone's bringing me food I saw the food,
379
it is not going to be good altogether We got an
380
assortment of food items here We got some Nesquik chocolate powder
381
Pretty good Some whole pickles Ew Cherries Don't know how I feel about that one Wieners Oh,
382
I love wieners And some mustard I have no idea what that's going to taste like altogether
383
But I don't want to know And we got a blender right here Let's place that right in here I'm really,
384
really, really, really glad I'm not bad right now.
385
On up the five course meal goes.
386
Yes, sir.
387
Blender right here.
388
That's it.
389
We're done.
390
Oh my God.
391
You have to take one huge sip and then you'll be good.
392
I want to go down so bad.
393
Three, two, one.
394
That was not enough.
395
You're going up.
396
Not big enough.
397
I don't care.
398
I'm not drinking that.
399
I will be throwing up.
400
Since Ben babied out, he is going up.
401
No, no, no, no, no, no. Up.
402
Keep going.
403
Yeah.
404
Keep it going.
405
Okay, ow, ow.
406
Come on.
407
Dude, you're going to break the button.
408
Come on.
409
You're going to break the button.
410
Keep going up.
411
Oh, my God.
412
He is almost at max level right now.
413
Every movement I make, this thing sways so much.
414
I should have drank that smoothie.
415
I'm starting to feel a little bit bad because this is actually terrifying.
416
We have massive two-story houses around us right now,
417
and he's taller than every single one of them.
418
Let's see what else Rug has in store.
419
Since we've all been torturing you for the last few hours,
420
it's time to switch it up.
421
Your friends are going to get to run for five seconds,
422
then They cannot move and you get to throw dodge balls at them.
423
The boys only get five steps,
424
then I get to throw balls at them.
425
If I hit them, I go down five feet.
426
If I don't, I go up five feet.
427
All right, boys.
428
Three, two, one.
429
I'm just gonna take a step.
430
Ah!
431
Woo!
432
Here we go.
433
And I'm that confident he's not gonna be able to hit me.
434
That's why I did that.
435
Yo, these guys got kind of far.
436
Look at this.
437
I have to throw all five of these balls.
438
Try to hit these guys.
439
Ain't gonna happen.
440
Three, two, one.
441
Oh!
442
Oh!
443
Oh!
444
Oh, my God.
445
Oh, crap.
446
Why is he aiming for you?
447
Oh!
448
Oh!
449
Oh, God.
450
Oh!
451
How did he just get me from up there, bro?
452
Ow!
453
That is a clean hit on Derek,
454
which means I'm going down five feet.
455
Since he hit Derek in the face,
456
he gets to go down.
457
Woo!
458
We are down.
459
Not that much, but we're down.
460
All right, Ben.
461
I know you're pretty high up right now,
462
but for this next challenge,
463
you'll need to get even higher.
464
Bring in the trampoline.
465
Hold up.
466
Did I just hear that right?
467
Did he say trampoline?
468
Do your best flip, and I'll be the judge if you deserve to get lowered or raised.
469
What?
470
Dude, he has to do a flip on top of there.
471
I have to do a flip up here.
472
Ben, you can back out if you want to.
473
They're bringing up a trampoline.
474
How is that even going to work?
475
Is the trampoline even going to fit up here?
476
And can I even do a flip when I'm this high in the sky?
477
This is going to be so, so dangerous.
478
So many people wish they had a trampoline.
479
I don't have a trampoline.
480
Yo, a trampoline up here?
481
Such a bad idea, bro.
482
So he's got the trampoline fully up there.
483
I can't even believe that it actually fits.
484
I'm just going to go ahead and jump first.
485
Not going to flip yet.
486
I'm just going to jump.
487
Okay.
488
No, no, no, no, no,
489
i'm getting down i'm getting down i'm not down to do
490
it i don't care it's not worth it raise me up
491
go yo we're going up we're going up yep we're going
492
up this is high i think this is the highest he's
493
been the entire challenge holy dude he's actually maxed out this
494
entire thing look at where we're at we are above the
495
houses above the trees above almost everything here all right rug
496
give us another good one all right ben i know you're a great skateboarder
497
but i don't think you've done anything like this before you
498
must land a kickflip all the way up on your bed what Good luck.
499
Wow.
500
Oh guys got the skateboard Ben has been skating ever since he's been a kid
501
So this should honestly be the easiest one yet.
502
You don't skateboard in your bed in the sky This is literally out of a movie
503
if he messes up you would literally be an egg hitting the ground Essentially he'd be toast.
504
The thing is moving as soon as I freaking step down
505
and starts shaking when I kick flip This thing could fall over kick flip in three two one go Oh No Wait,
506
it's did it that easy.
507
I count like how the watch get me out of here.
508

This engaging content revolves around survival in what’s claimed to be “the world’s most dangerous bed” at a height of 100 feet. By watching and imitating the conversation style, tone, and energy from the video, you can enhance your ability to express emotions, negotiate challenges, and react spontaneously. This exercise is particularly beneficial for those preparing for the IELTS speaking practice as it helps develop the fluency and confidence needed to respond under pressure.

Practice Tips
To maximize your learning experience with this video, try the following shadow speech techniques:
- Shadowing Technique: While watching the video, pause after each challenge is announced. Mimic the speaker's tone, pace, and intonation. Take note of their expressions to capture the emotions behind their words. This practice will enhance your natural speaking cadence.
- Slow Down: If the speakers are too fast, use the playback speed feature on YouTube to slow down the video. This will help you grasp the dialogue better and pronounce the vocabulary clearly.
- Repeat & Recite: After listening to a challenge, try reciting it aloud. Use your own words to describe similar challenges you might face, which will help in expanding your vocabulary and conversation skills. This method is useful for those looking to learn English with YouTube content effectively.
- Engage Emotionally: React to the situations presented in the video. When challenges are introduced, think about how you would respond. This will not only improve your language but also help with your analytical skills during the IELTS speaking practice.
By immersing yourself in this high-energy content and employing these strategies, your English speaking abilities will grow stronger, making you more prepared for spontaneous conversations in real life.
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.
