00:00:00
What did you feel when I started the channel?
00:00:02
It’s crazy that LeBron is playing with his son.
00:00:04
Are you going to make that happen in the football world?
00:00:05
Which is your favorite one?
00:00:07
How did you feel
00:00:09
when you hit a billion followers across everything?
00:00:11
Do you think I'm going to beat you?
00:00:23
What you felt when you saw I was going to start a channel?
00:00:27
Yeah.
00:00:30
I knew it was gonna… Honestly, I thought you were gonna
00:00:33
do about 20 or 30 million in the first month; when you
00:00:35
did 60, I was like, oh my gosh.
00:00:36
It's like the most ever
00:00:38
gained in one month before. Before you
00:00:40
it was 20 million, and that was us, So sixty..
00:00:43
That was insane.
How long did it take take you to reach 60 million?
00:00:47
Probably 13 years.
00:00:50
Yeah. Took me like..
00:00:52
Do you think I’m gonna beat you?
00:00:56
Do you think? Be honest
00:00:57
NO!
00:01:01
It depends on what you start doing. If you start bringing in other footballers
00:01:03
and reacting to your best plays,
00:01:06
I think you’d crush it. If you find a rhythm,
00:01:08
you can make some killer content.
00:01:09
But this record is for you
00:01:14
I don't wanna beat that record, honestly
00:01:22
You have a billion followers; I wanna have a billion subscribers on YouTube.
00:01:26
Imagine.
00:01:26
Yeah, it would take a while, for sure.
00:01:28
It would take a while.
00:01:30
We have 324 million right now.
Did you see my youtube channel?
00:01:32
Of course
¿What do you think?
00:01:34
Obviously, you’re still a professional football player, so you have a lot going on.
I think you’re doing your best
00:01:38
I think your greater asset is anyone will film with you. You could do so many cool collabs,
00:01:43
kind of like this one.
00:01:45
You should have Tom Brady appear for a video, Speed, all these big names.
00:01:50
Also, something easy for you is like, after a big game,
00:01:53
you could just hop in front of a mic, do a quick
00:01:56
five-minute talk about what happened.That would be super
00:02:00
easy for you, but you’d have so many people wanting to know what you think, you know.
00:02:03
What do you think? Or....
00:02:06
Bro, can you imagine Ronaldo reacting to a video of
00:02:09
his top 10 goals? Can you imagine how crazy that would be?
00:02:12
You know that goal where you did a bicycle kick? I’ve seen that at least a hundred times.
00:02:17
I’d love to know what you were thinking
00:02:18
when you decided to do bicycle kick.
00:02:23
That would be great
00:02:24
I don’t think that would hard staff; do more football related things.
00:02:29
Because that’s why we love you.
00:02:31
How did you feel when you hit a billion followers across everything?
00:02:34
most-followed man on the planet.
It was good.
00:02:36
Good achievement,
00:02:37
,but I wasn’t surprised, to be honest.
00:02:42
I know the passion that the people have for me and for football as well.
00:02:45
Yeah,
00:02:46
For the the career I still do it,
00:02:49
I felt that passion, so it wasn’t a surprise.
00:02:52
I feel happy.
00:02:53
but in the same way no suprised.
I'm the same way. Every time I hit the marks it's like: cool
00:02:57
Yes, yes, yes..
Exactly.
00:02:59
Everyone tells me I should celebrate, and it’s like, why?
00:03:03
I feel the same way.
00:03:05
On YouTube, when people
00:03:06
get a video recommendation, you know the image that pops up?
00:03:08
Yes, they told me now.
The thumbnail.
00:03:11
I’m known for my thumbnails so
00:03:14
so I’ll give you a few tricks. Usually , you put your face in the thumbnail,
00:03:17
O, so whenever you take photos of your face,
00:03:20
keep your mouth closed.
I used to do this with my mouth open, and people hated it.
00:03:25
Oh. Really?
00:03:25
Yeah, they said it’s cringe.
So keep your mouth closed and get
00:03:30
some good high-quality shots of your face for your team
00:03:32
to use in thumbnails.
Got it, got it,
00:03:36
So you I want to
00:03:38
show expression, so you just like.
00:03:43
But it's cringe because there is 30 people watching.
Next Question, next question.
00:03:49
I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
00:03:53
Where do you feel
00:03:54
the country you have the most..?
Most fans?
00:04:02
Oh, um, when we go
00:04:05
anywhere in South America, things get crazy.
One time we were in Chile,
00:04:08
and like we are in a hotel
and fans literally surrounded the hotel and started
00:04:13
knocking on every door
00:04:14
I'm sure you have weird things happening.
00:04:15
we had to leave the hotel and I think they had to evacuate it
it because so many
00:04:19
fans sit in the hotel lobby.
This mostly happens when we are un South America.
00:04:24
In the U.S., people are more chilled,
but when we go international,
00:04:28
they are like a hole different breed.
00:04:31
I guess it's because not
00:04:32
many famous people like really
our creators from our world visit South America.
00:04:36
So when they do, it’s a big deal.
00:04:38
Where do you live?
00:04:40
North Carolina. A tiny town
00:04:43
So there is good. It's cool
00:04:45
Oh, yeah.
00:04:46
I just... I live in my studio.
00:04:48
. We have a big studio where we film videos, and I live there.
I never leave.
00:04:52
The worst thing...
00:04:53
I assume you fly private everywhere.
Flying commercial
00:04:55
sometimes is brutal.
It's brutal, right?
00:04:58
It's like... uhhff
00:05:00
I don’t do it in so so many years.
00:05:03
I would pay money to see Ronaldo flying comercial
00:05:06
to see how..
The reactions
00:05:10
Imagine putting on some glasses and record
00:05:12
the reactions.
That would be awesome!
00:05:15
That is good content for YouTube
could you imagine if he had the Ray-Ban’s on recording
00:05:18
and then went out on a commercial flight;
00:05:20
the amount of photos people would ask for.
00:05:23
I mean, they’d have to cancel the flight.
00:05:25
A normal seat. Imagine.
To go and stay there
00:05:27
waiting to my…
No, he wouldn't do it because,
00:05:30
he is obviously way more famous than me.
If I sit in a normal seat, you have people
00:05:34
running up and down the aisle
asking for a photo, a photo...
00:05:39
With him, the entire plane would turn into
00:05:39
a Photo booth . It would be insane.
00:05:45
I'm thirty-nine
00:05:45
And a few months...
00:05:47
Okay. Almost forty.
00:05:50
You’re about to die!
What's it like?
00:05:53
I'm going to live until 100.
00:05:56
I just want to let you know.
00:05:57
And you know in football,
00:06:01
this is a long career
00:06:04
Because most of the time
00:06:06
people retire at 33, 34, 36.
00:06:09
You’re like the LeBron James of football.
00:06:10
Yeah. I wanted to ask you when you
think you gonna retire from this.
00:06:14
Never. Never.
Oh, good.
00:06:17
I’ll probably be doing when I’m 90
00:06:19
I’m like you; I want to live over a hundred.
00:06:21
I don’t know how, but with technological advances,
they have to find a way to slow down aging,
00:06:24
So hopefully...
You’re going to do this forever.
00:06:27
I mean, if I stopped, what would I do, watch TV?
00:06:30
Maybe you have another passion or
00:06:33
something that you…
00:06:35
I just enjoy building busineses; you know,
running the channel to me feels like building a company.
00:06:38
It's good. Good to know that
00:06:43
He is getting harassed by a fly!
00:06:44
Someone just clip this!
00:06:47
I see the fly over his eyes,
and I think it landed on him.
00:06:55
a very much.
00:06:55
I buried myself alive for seven days.
00:06:58
But you did?
Yeah
00:07:00
So this is my coffin
00:07:01
and they put twenty thousand pounds of dirt on me.
00:07:05
and I spent a week lying down in a coffin.
00:07:09
I’m under there.
Cristiano realizing what it means to be a YouTuber.
00:07:12
People knew it’s real, we time lapsed the whole thing.
00:07:16
But how you feel?
00:07:17
Horrible. I couldn’t move for a whole week.
00:07:21
There was a fly trap in the coffin too.
00:07:23
You didn’t move for a week?
00:07:24
Yes, just lying down there.
00:07:28
This is after seven days.
00:07:30
This is when they dug me up.
00:07:32
But you are like…
00:07:39
This is the doctor who pulled me out;
00:07:42
they thought I had a blood clot,
so a medic had to check when I came out.
00:07:45
How did you feel inside? bad?
00:07:48
it was horrible because I was in a coffin,
so the floor was wood, and my back hurt.
00:07:53
Your back, right?
Yeah
00:07:54
Yeah, so I did 7 days buried alive and also
spent 7 days in solitary confinement
00:07:58
in a padded room, with no interaction, no time.
00:08:01
Brother, you’re crazy, huh?
00:08:02
Yeah, that one was brutal.
Tyler, what else did we do?
00:08:04
I did 7 days on a deserted island, which made me want to die.
00:08:07
Then seven days on a raft drifting,
00:08:10
seven days, yes, and seven days in an underground city
00:08:14
seven days in an abandoned city...
00:08:16
... My fans love watching me suffer, so I do things
that make me miserable, and they find it funny.
00:08:20
Wow, It's crazy
00:08:23
So, this are the most hardest one?
00:08:27
This one?
00:08:28
No. What would you say are the hardest, Tyler?
00:08:31
(The solitary.That ones are crazy)
Yeah.
00:08:33
Which are the solitary?
00:08:34
Here, I'll show you.
(No one spoke to him in seven days straight)
00:08:38
No phone? Nothing? But where?
(In a white padded room)
00:08:44
Let me show you, it’s pretty wild.
00:08:47
when did we upload this video, Tyler? Is it an old one?
00:08:49
When did you start doing these, the videos and the channel?
00:08:55
Oh, I’ve been doing this since I was 11
00:08:57
S. So I’ve been doing it for about 15 years,
this is all I’ve erver done.
00:09:00
This is the solitary confinement one. So an entire...
00:09:20
It’s just me in this white padded room,
and I had no clue what time it is.
00:09:24
Oh, my God.
00:09:26
And it’s soundproofed.
00:09:29
Was this the hardest one?
00:09:31
Oh yeah, this one is so hard. The lights never turned off;
00:09:34
so you don’t see the sun or anything;
00:09:37
and see you just want to tell simulation.
00:09:42
And then,
00:09:43
there were 90 hours in, and that was all I had, so it was brutal.
00:09:48
So, that video for example. That got a hundred.
00:09:51
How many?
00:09:53
A 189 million views, 186.
00:09:57
And people loved it. They love watching me suffer.
00:09:59
Jimmy…so it’s kind of just fun.
00:10:05
Which video has more views?
00:10:08
The most-viewed… yeah, is it the Squid Game still?
00:10:14
Yeah, So yeah. We recreated Squid Game in real life,
and it got 600 million views.
00:10:17
I put 100 people in a circle, and the last
one to laugh won half a million dollars.
00:10:21
This one has almost half a billion views.
00:10:24
So this video 4% of the humans alive have watched.
00:10:32
So look at this: I said, I don’t care how long it takes;
00:10:37
the last one to leave the circle takes
the half-million dollars in the middle.
00:10:40
and it went on for weeks.
00:10:42
And people were just wondering,
how long will they sit in the circle?
00:10:45
That was funny.
Amazing.
00:10:48
What is your favorite one?
00:10:51
Oh, I like them all. I mean…
00:10:53
This video is the one that broke the internet.
00:10:59
It’s the most-viewed video on YouTube in just 24 hours.
00:11:02
so no other video in YouTube history has gotten more views in 24 hours.
00:11:08
We brought the biggest YouTubers on the planet
and put them inside a big cube.
00:11:16
So, all these really famous content creators,
who your kids will definitely know.
00:11:24
We built a huge cube and put them in there,
and said whoever laugh last,
00:11:27
could give away a million dollars
to one of their subscribers.
00:11:29
Okay, Okay
00:11:30
Basically, everyone was in there.
00:11:31
It’s like if you got the 50 biggest football
players and put them in a room, and had them do something.
00:11:37
It just broke the internet.
00:11:39
That video got 70 million views in 24 hours,
and people loved it.
00:11:42
Good good good.
00:11:43
Do you like other sports?
00:11:44
I love basketball.
00:11:45
Basketball?
Yeah
00:11:46
Do you watch basketball?
00:11:47
Not much.
00:11:49
I love watching Steph Curry shoot three-pointers from half-court.
00:11:52
Ahh, good.
00:11:53
And it’s crazy how LeBron it's now playing with his son.
00:11:56
: Are you going to make that happen in the football world?
00:11:59
Maybe. I'll see. He is fourteen now..
00:12:01
Maybe he’ll play when he’s 17, so you’d have to play for 3 more years.
00:12:04
Let’s see, let’s see how my legs are doing; we’ll see.
00:12:11
Your son is watching,
maybe we could ask him to help us out.
00:12:13
He knows more things than me, about this world, YouTube, he knows everything.
00:12:20
So,I heard this is your water brand?
Yes
00:12:22
What made you want to do it?
00:12:24
Basically, a good product.
00:12:27
A good quality water for me,
it’s the most important.
00:12:32
Doesn’t matter if it's water or supplemets for example.
00:12:35
If it’s a nice product, I want to be associated with it.
00:12:38
Makes sense.
Yes.
00:12:40
This is what I think.
00:12:41
How do you deal with the fame?
00:12:43
How do I deal with it?
Yeah.
00:12:44
Well, right now, probably like you, I just work all the time,
so I don’t have much time to...
00:12:50
As you said now, it's your first time in Saudi, I invite you
00:12:53
to come to any game of your choice.
00:12:56
And your team swell, to come and watch a game
in the period of Riyadh season.
00:13:01
Which is the most iconic one, with big events.
00:13:05
What’s the biggest game? Who’s your biggest rival?
00:13:08
It’s Al-Hilal… yeah, yeah.
00:13:10
Let me know when they play Al-Hilal.
00:13:15
We play now, next month,
and then we have the second leg.
00:13:19
If you want to come, I’ll invite you.
00:13:21
That would be fun.
00:13:22
And you’ll love it. Saudi is a lovely country.
00:13:23
love.
00:13:23
It's all these lovely country.
00:13:26
If I come to watch you, you’d better win…
00:13:28
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't worry.
00:13:30
So you’re invited whenever you want,
and you’ll be very welcome.
00:13:33
Thank you.
