  • - Well, hello everyone!

  • My name is Tyler Oakley.

  • And even though I do not have internet or power or heat,

  • I am still here making a video for you

  • because y'all wanted to do another Ask Tyler.

  • So, I got on Twitter,

  • asked you guys to tweet me any of your questions

  • with #AskTylerAnything and y'all delivered.

  • So, let's get into it.

  • kanyenot wants to know,

  • "What is the weirdest rumour

  • "you've ever read or heard about yourself?"

  • I've read that I'm homophobic.

  • "How are you bearing with the snow in Michigan?"

  • Mind you, I am freezing.

  • This is why I don't come to Michigan.

  • This is why I don't live in Michigan anymore.

  • The trees are down.

  • The power lines are down.

  • My refrigerator is not working,

  • and there's no Wi-Fi.

  • Honestly, this is like a horror movie, but in real life.

  • But I have to say, I am actually making do

  • because when these things happen here in Michigan,

  • my friends all come out of the woodworks

  • and offer their places of warmth and Wi-Fi,

  • and it brings us together in a place of love.

  • Claire wants to know, "What are your thoughts on The Vamps?"

  • I love The Vamps.

  • I think they're great.

  • They're such nice guys.

  • I met them at Summer in the City,

  • and I absolutely adore them,

  • so I am here for their success.

  • And I will help them as much as I can.

  • Alondra wants to know,

  • "Who do you want to collab with next?"

  • Well, Alondra, mama is thirsty,

  • and I think it might be time

  • for another drunk collab with my girl Sawyer.

  • Summer Kay wants to know,

  • "If you wrote a book, what would the title be?"

  • If I wrote a book, the title would probably be

  • "Look at This Shit Show Motherfucker

  • "Riding a One Man Struggle Bus Down Hot Mess Lane,

  • "A Novel by Tyler Oakley."

  • Ella says, "Did you ever think about becoming a straight?"

  • (laughs) Never in my life.

  • Good lord, heaven above!

  • No offense, but girl, it's not for me.

  • mel wants to know,

  • "When the eyebrow piercing is making a comeback?"

  • So, if you didn't know, very early in my YouTube career,

  • I had an eyebrow piercing, okay.

  • It was an experimental time in my life.

  • I was trying to discover who I was.

  • Part of that was facial jewelry.

  • kai_fangirl_101 wants to know,

  • "Who would play you in the movie version of your life?"

  • It's very difficult because I'm like,

  • "Okay, well, there's always Beyonce."

  • I don't know if she'd be able

  • to capture my essence completely

  • because I'm such a complex bad bitch,

  • so I would probably have to play myself.

  • DJ Hager wants to know,

  • "What Audible book are you suggesting this month?"

  • (claps) If I were to recommend any book this month,

  • I would probably have to say "Catching Fire"

  • because I saw the movie

  • with a whole bunch of YouTube friends,

  • and some of us had read the books beforehand, I included.

  • And then, some of us hadn't.

  • And we loved it!

  • I thought it was so good.

  • It's gonna be one of those classic trilogy movies

  • that's just all time amazing.

  • But then, some of the people that didn't read the book,

  • they walked out so confused.

  • And I'm like, "How do you see a movie

  • "that was based on a book

  • "that was so critically acclaimed

  • "and complain that you don't get it

  • "when you didn't even read the book in the first place."

  • I'm like, "Hello!"

  • If you use audible.com/tyleroakley, (bell rings)

  • you will get your first book free.

  • Get the book that you were about to see the movie of

  • and just enjoy it.

  • And then, you'll appreciate the movie 10 times more.

  • Just do it, okay.

  • Audible has so many audio books to choose from.

  • You can just listen to anything,

  • but I am recommending,

  • if you're gonna see a movie based on a book,

  • read the book first.

  • It's probably on Audible.

  • In this case, "Catching Fire" is on Audible,

  • so audible.com/tyleroakley,

  • you get your first book free.

  • Bam, there's your hook-up!

  • No excuses.

  • Shaina wants to know,

  • "What do you think about 'The Fault in Our Stars' movie

  • "that's coming out in 2014?"

  • My body is ready.

  • I adore John Green.

  • I recommended that book the day it came out.

  • I made a video about it way back in the day.

  • And then, I just have loved it ever since.

  • It's one of those books that I'm always like,

  • "Have you read this?

  • "Go read it."

  • The movie, I think is going to be fantastic.

  • Even though John Green does not necessarily have a huge hand

  • in the production of the movie,

  • I think he would not have picked anybody

  • that he didn't trust.

  • So, I trust him to make the best decisions possible

  • with his baby.

  • That is his baby!

  • He wouldn't have done anything that he didn't believe in,

  • and I feel like the book is going to be done justice.

  • Audrey wants to know,

  • "What is a word to describe your fans?"

  • Imma probably have to say (sings word),

  • incredible. (bell rings)

  • In italics (bell rings), they would have to be in italics.

  • "If you had a beard, what would it look like?"

  • Maybe 5' 6", brown hair, cute face,

  • nice boobs, yeah.

  • "I dare you to try to say this word

  • "in some other language!"

  • Do it hottie!

  • Okay, (says I love meatballs in Swedish).

  • Nailed it!

  • Louie wants to know

  • "Where did you get that Tumblr snapback from??"

  • So, if you ever see me wearing a snapback,

  • it is most likely this hat.

  • I got it from Tumblr headquarters.

  • I went and visited the Tumblr headquarters.

  • And honestly, it was really cool because I adore Tumblr.

  • I spend every single day on Tumblr.

  • I am updating my Tumblr every single moment.

  • And so, to be invited to come into the office

  • and meet the founder, was just incredible.

  • He was so nice.

  • And (claps) to be given that hat,

  • I mean, it is my go-to hat nowadays.

  • Kayleigh wants to know,

  • "How did you feel about 'playing' Gaga

  • "for Youtube Rewind 2013?"

  • It was epic.

  • I didn't even know what I was gonna do

  • when I went in that day to the shoot.

  • It was huge!

  • Every YouTuber was there,

  • and I show up not knowing what I was gonna do.

  • And I was so nervous, and they were like,

  • "How do you feel about playing Lady Gaga?"

  • And I was like, "My queen!"

  • And they were like, "We knew you would say that.

  • "Let's put you in a unitard."

  • The makeup was out of control.

  • If you haven't seen that, the link is below,

  • but I feel like everybody has seen that by now.

  • It was so fun.

  • Maya says, "Is Bill Gates your grandpa or something?

  • "Or is this your future self?"

  • If it's my future self, mama is rich,

  • and I'm okay with that!

  • If looks have anything to do with monetary income,

  • I will take it!

  • Tiffany says,

  • "What is the hardest thing you've ever experienced??"

  • Well, Tiffany, it was probably your dad last night.

  • Roane says, "Ring your mom

  • "and say a nude of yours has leaked online."

  • (chuckles) I mean, it's kind of like a why not.

  • - (phone rings) This is Jackie.

  • - Hey.

  • - Hey.

  • - I just need your advice.

  • Will you not judge me?

  • - I'm not judging.

  • - Okay, I'm just gonna say it.

  • There were pictures of me that are spreading right now,

  • and they're a little bit compromising,

  • and I don't know what to do.

  • - Can you do anything?

  • - I don't think so.

  • And I feel like you're gonna see them,

  • and the whole family is going to see them.

  • - I'm not on Tumblr.

  • - Do you feel like it's gonna affect my career?

  • - Probably not.

  • - Are you disappointed in me?

  • - No!

  • I could care less what you do in private!

  • But I think what you need to do is put a statement out there

  • and say that you're highly disappointed in the fact

  • that these are being made public.

  • You apologize if you offended anybody.

  • That was not your intention.

  • That these were done in private,

  • and somebody betrayed your trust.

  • - Okay, well, can I tell you something?

  • - What?

  • - I just betrayed your trust 'cause I was just jokin'.

  • (laughs)

  • - You are such an asshole.

  • - (laughs loudly) I'm filming a video.

  • It was a dare.

  • It said, "Call your mom and tell her your nudes leaked."

  • Anything you want to say to my people?

  • - I hate you.

  • - (laughs loudly) Okay, later.

  • Love ya, bye!

  • - Bye, honey.

  • - Y'all are gonna give my mom a heart attack.

  • I swear to god. (laughs)

  • She has never been that quiet on the phone.

  • Renae wants to know, "If you were a potato,

  • "what would you want to be when you grow up?"

  • I'm thinking a curly fry from Arby's.

  • tilly-oakley wants to know,

  • "Do you think you've grown

  • "from any mistakes you've made in the past?"

  • Well, I would say, yes.

  • Hopefully, of course.

  • I think the most defining thing in your life

  • is not that you've fallen, but how you've gotten back up.

  • And I have made mistakes just like you have made mistakes.

  • And my heroes have made mistakes.

  • And my enemies have made mistakes.

  • We've all made mistakes,

  • but I think the most defining thing is

  • how you learn from it, how you grow from it,

  • and how you try to use your platform to help others learn

  • to not make the same mistakes.

  • So, I am 100% trying to share my life.

  • And if that didn't include the negatives,

  • then I would not be giving you an honest representation

  • of the things that are happening to me.

  • And I have been open and honest with you guys for six years.

  • An example, I think would be,

  • I recently made a blog post about privilege.

  • And I felt like it was really important for me

  • to just talk about it with you guys.

  • If you want to read that blog post, it's below.

  • I feel like the most important thing

  • is knowing that I am not perfect and neither are you

  • or neither is your hero and neither is your enemy.

  • Without your guys' support and love when I am fucking up,

  • I don't (laughs) know what I would do,

  • so thank you for encouraging me to grow

  • and be a better person.

  • But that is all I have for you guys this week.

  • I hope you have a fabulous week.

  • I have a very fun video coming on Friday

  • with a special guest for the holiday season!

  • If you wanna see that, if you're ready for that, subscribe.

  • And push the like button on this video

  • if you liked this video.

  • I am really enjoying doing Q & A videos with you guys.

  • I feel like it gets you guys involved.

  • It lets me answer questions

  • that I would never make a whole video about.

  • And it's just really fun for me.

  • So, thank you for being a part of it.

  • And like I said, I have very fun videos planned

  • for the rest of the year!

  • A lot of big things are coming!

  • But until then, have a fabulous life,

  • and I will see you guys next time.

  • Later!

  • I'm freezing! (exclaims in funny voice)

  • Freezing cold! (exclaims in funny voice)

- Well, hello everyone!
