- Hi everyone, my name is Tyler,
00:00
and it's been a while
since I've made a video,
00:01
so I am just gonna dive right in
00:03
because I'm really
nervous to be making this
00:06
because I haven't made one in forever,
00:09
and I was just like, you know what?
00:10
They all hate me now,
so if you don't hate me,
00:12
push the like button below so I know
00:15
that you don't hate me,
it'll be the only way.
00:17
So a few weeks ago, I
was invited to come speak
00:20
for Spirit Day in
Charleston, South Carolina
00:22
for a rally, and it was so much fun.
00:24
I got to meet so many of you guys,
00:27
and here are some pictures of the meetup
00:28
that I had while I was there,
it was just a lot of fun.
00:30
I put up all the pictures
that you guys sent me
00:32
from the event on my Facebook,
00:34
so you can find them all there.
00:36
Then I took an overnight
flight to New York,
00:37
and if you follow me on Instagram,
00:39
you know that my week in New York
00:41
was absolutely insane.
00:43
I got to go to a Women
of YouTube comedy show,
00:44
which was absolutely hilarious
00:46
and featured some of my
favorite ladies on YouTube,
00:48
including Hannah Hart and Mamrie Hart
00:49
and Dailygrace and Francesca Ramsey,
00:52
and it was so fun and funny,
00:54
I absolutely loved it.
00:55
I got to be on a special Halloween episode
00:56
of My Damn Channel Live with Hannah Hart
00:58
and Dailygrace, and we all dressed up as
01:00
Internet memes of 2012,
01:01
I was obviously ridiculously
photogenic guy, because duh.
01:03
You can find the link to that video below.
01:07
And then one of the absolute
craziest and amazing things
01:09
that happened to me in New York
01:11
was kind of a continuation of something
01:12
that happened to me in a previous video --
01:14
And then the day before,
Ricky Martin tweeted at me
01:15
on National Coming Out
Day, which is insane,
01:18
which, I mean, that doesn't
happen to me, or people!
01:20
And basically, what
happened was, Ricky Martin
01:24
invited me to come see him
in his Broadway revival
01:27
of Evita and it was amazing
and he was phenomenal
01:30
and then I got to meet him backstage
01:33
and we chatted for like, 30 minutes,
01:34
and he signed my book, can you see?
01:36
It says, to my friend Tyler,
thank you for everything
01:38
you're the best, it
was like, a crazy thing
01:41
that I just don't, I cannot
fathom that it happened
01:44
because it was so cool
and he's just so amazing,
01:46
so Ricky, thank you for that.
01:49
Then I announced that I
was having an impromptu
01:50
New York City meetup in Central Park,
01:53
and it was gonna be three hours,
01:55
and I was like, oh my
god, nobody's gonna come,
01:56
and then all of you came
and it was over 500 people
01:57
and it was six and a half hours long
02:01
of nonstop posing and pictures and fun
02:03
and hugging and embracing and funness
02:05
and amazingness and it was
just absolutely insane,
02:08
so thank you guys for coming.
02:10
I am putting all the
pictures you guys sent
02:12
of us together at the meetup on Facebook,
02:13
so you can find your picture there.
02:15
I then visited my friends
at dosomething.org,
02:17
which is an amazing organization
02:19
that encourages youth to get involved
02:20
in activism in tons of different ways,
02:22
and we came up with a campaign together
02:24
because I always get you guys asking me
02:26
for birthday shoutouts, so
if you want me to call you
02:27
or your friend or anybody
you know in your life
02:30
for their birthday and
wish them a happy birthday,
02:32
all you have to do is
click the link below,
02:35
and you can sign up anybody
and I will call them
02:37
on their birthday, it's that simple.
02:38
Go sign up all of your friends,
it was really cool to do.
02:40
And this whole time in New York,
02:43
I was staying with my good friend Alex,
02:44
we were like, we should
have a Twitcam kiki,
02:45
we should talk about all the
stuff we did at the meetup
02:47
we should talk about our week,
because it was a crazy week,
02:49
then we saw, of all
people, Lindsay Lohan tweet
02:51
about the hurricane, and we were like,
02:53
oh my god, Lindsay's online,
let's all tweet at her
02:55
and tell her to come to this Twitcam,
02:57
And so we are basically best friends
03:00
with Lindsay Lohan now,
she spent two hours
03:01
in our Twitcam, she literally yelled at me
03:03
because I was drinking and she said,
03:06
have you learned nothing from my past,
03:07
literally, I just, I
lost my ability to even.
03:09
And then of course, Hurricane Sassy hit,
03:13
and I was a little bit distraught,
03:15
because I was supposed to go home,
03:17
back to San Francisco for Halloween,
03:18
I had all these plans,
so I felt kind of stuck,
03:20
but everything worked out for the best
03:22
because I spent Halloween
with my good friends
03:25
Christian and Brad and we had
03:27
a little Halloween get-together,
03:29
and then that night,
03:30
of all things that could possibly happen,
03:31
Andy Cohen invited me to
guest bartend their special
03:33
Halloween episode of
Watch What Happens Live,
03:36
and I got to hug and embrace Andy Cohen
03:38
and Denise Richards and I
was just literally dying,
03:40
and just when I thought that
night couldn't get any better,
03:43
we left Watch What Happens
Live and headed over
03:45
to meet up with some friends at karaoke,
03:48
and it was literally like a dream
03:50
because I am just sitting
here, in a karaoke room,
03:51
sipping my drink, watching Amber Riley
03:54
perform How Will I Know by Whitney Houston
03:56
with Christian Siriano on backup,
03:58
and I was just like, what is going on?
04:00
It will go down as one of
the absolute coolest moments
04:03
of my life, so I can't complain
that my flight was delayed
04:05
because that happened.
04:08
So then, after spending
two weeks in New York,
04:10
I flew back to San Francisco
to do a day of laundry
04:12
and then flew to LA for the week.
04:14
So then, for the whole week in LA,
04:16
I cohosted What's Trending
Live with Shira Lazar
04:18
and we did a whole
bunch of videos together
04:20
but a couple of my favorites,
the links will be below,
04:22
we did an interview with Kingsley,
04:24
we did an interview with the cast of
04:26
Lizzie Bennet Diaries,
we did an interview with
04:27
Michelle Branch, we made a salad
04:29
with Michelle Branch, we
had like, a cooking show.
04:31
I played the Newlyweds
game to see how much
04:33
I knew Kingsley and how much he knew me,
04:36
so the links to all of
those will be below,
04:38
they're hilarious, they're
amazing, you need to watch them.
04:40
That Sunday, I went and got drinks
04:42
with somebody you may recall
from a previous Glingo video,
04:43
his name is Jake, he's Australian,
04:46
he's just the best.
04:48
On election night, I got to be a part of
04:50
Larry King's Live election coverage
04:51
where I talked about social media
04:53
and the election online and on Tumblr
04:54
and Twitter and how it
kind of changed the game
04:57
this election season,
04:59
and it was just really surreal
05:00
to watch election coverage with Larry King
05:02
sitting to my right and
Dionne from Clueless
05:04
sitting to my left, I just felt like,
05:07
what is going on in my life?
05:09
I went and got drinks
with Abraham and Eileen
05:11
from The Glee Project, I got to get drinks
05:13
with one of my absolute
favorite Twitter friends,
05:15
Jamba Jim, who ships Klaine
just as much as I do,
05:17
basically I got a lot of drinks that week.
05:19
And then finally, on that Wednesday,
05:21
I was invited to be a
guest on the live pre-show
05:23
for the X Factor in the US,
which was absolutely insane,
05:25
because if you know me, I love reality TV,
05:28
and so to go on the show
and talk about what I love
05:30
and talk about what contestants I love,
05:33
it was so fun, so if you watched that,
05:35
thank you for watching.
05:37
Finally, I am back in San Francisco,
05:38
and you have no clue how
excited I am to be here.
05:40
I have been gone and
out and about for weeks
05:42
and weeks and weeks, and
so to sleep in my own bed
05:44
feels so good, you have no fucking clue.
05:46
Thank you to Alex and
Sarah who let me stay
05:49
at their places in LA and New York,
05:52
but to be in my own bed in San Francisco,
05:55
So yes, I know that was the
longest update of my life,
05:58
but thank you for grinning
and bearing with it.
06:00
The links to all the
videos I'm talking about
06:02
and all the campaigns that I talked about
06:04
are gonna be below.
06:06
A couple announcements that I
feel like I should tell you,
06:07
number one, you can get
a birthday call from me,
06:08
the link will be below,
06:11
and finally, please vote for
me for the Queerty awards,
06:12
I am nominated for two categories,
06:14
link to both of those are below,
06:15
but yes, I feel like I
just talked your ear off!
06:17
So what is going on in your life?
06:19
I'm going to be reading
your guys' comments
06:21
to tell me what's been
going on in your life!
06:23
I want to hear the amazing
things that are happening to you,
06:25
so yeah, comment below, I hope
you're having a good life.
06:27
I'm sorry that this video
was a million years long,
06:29
but I just felt like I
should update you on my life,
06:32
that is all, okay, it's been real.
06:35
