- Oh my (beep) God. (Chloe laughs)
(lighthearted pop music)
^- Hi, I'm Chloe, and I love making videos
^with my sister Becky.
My sister, possibly stupidly, is allowing me
to control her life for one whole day.
I came up with a bunch of stuff
that either pushes her outside of her comfort zone,
allows her to do something she's always wanted to do,
or shows her a different side to something
she thinks she doesn't like.
And the best part, it is all a surprise.
To get this started, I'm gonna go shopping
for something that she wouldn't usually wear
but I think she would look good in.
(upbeat pop music)
Okay, little denim dress could be an option.
She never wears cutesy stuff like this.
She definitely never wears red,
and maybe some stripes, too boaty?
I really wanna get her some heels,
but I don't want them to be too high.
These don't seem too high to me.
(lively pop music)
^- I'm a little nervous, can I have a drink?
^I feel like something's gonna happen
where I have to do something embarrassing
in front of a lot of people.
You know me so well, you know exactly
what will make me uncomfortable.
I think I'm quite controlling on my own.
I'm very particular, and so like to be taken out of that
might be really uncomfortable.
But I might learn a thing or two.
- Okay, well, now it's time for the first thing of the day.
- I can see you getting clothes out.
Am I gonna be covered in cat patterns?
- [Chloe] I'm coming in, but keep your eyes closed.
- I've got them closed.
- Item number one, a color you never wear.
- Oh! That's a bright color.
- It is. - I like them, they're cute!
It's pineapples! (laughs)
I didn't mention fruit, that's another thing Chloe loves.
This is cute, I love it!
- Oh, good, I mean, I probably wouldn't wear that
unless someone like made me either.
Not 'cause I don't like it, but it's like very bright.
But I kinda want you in something
like boom today, you know?
Boom town! - Boom, here I come!
- You only ever really wear necklaces.
- Oh, God, am I gonna pierce something?
Oh! Oh my God, I never wear earrings!
- I know you find these hard to buy,
and honestly I have no idea if they're gonna look good.
- Oh! Yes, I have the worst face for sunglasses.
I don't know why. - You just struggle with them,
I think. - I struggle, I'm just like
how does this work? These are cute!
Do I look like a jazz man? - Oh, I like them!
All right, one more thing
which is the big boy, close your eyes.
- Is it shoes 'cause I have huge feet?
- The big boy, that was why I said it!
This is because you always say you wanna wear these things,
but you never actually do, so I'm going to make you today.
- Oh, are they wedges? These are cute!
This is a nice day so far, couldn't we just end it here?
- All right, ready for your reveal?
- No, am I supposed to cry? - No, please don't.
- Aww, oh my God, I really like it!
Yeah, you're right, I would never pick this.
I feel like a summer woman.
I'm so surprised that this isn't unflattering
'cause it's really hard to pick clothes for other people.
- So yeah, now we're onto our next stage.
Surprise surprise,
I take the clothes back. (Becky laughs)
Stage two, I'm gonna push her to do something
that she's always wanted to do
but she's a little too nervous to get going with.
Stand-up comedy.
^- Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm a stand-up comedian
^and so I'm gonna teach you how to perform
a couple of bits of stand-up.
- Oh my (beep) God. (Chloe laughs)
- So you have a couple of ideas.
- Like a few weeks ago I woke up in the night
and just wrote down some jokes.
They're probably terrible. - That's okay,
that's how I wrote my first joke.
You started with some observations
about being British and coming to the United States,
which is a great way to start
'cause you're starting from truth,
you're starting from an opinion.
So what are some observations
between Britain and the US that you've noticed?
- In general is that Americans are raised very much
in a positive, like you should be a winner.
Everything about being British is being,
oh, don't worry about me.
I'm just an idiot.
- Your comedy should be relatable but not familiar.
You can take something that's a cliche
like British people are subdued
and make it your own by putting your own experiences
and stuff into it.
- Well, I did this thing where I was kinda
comparing that attitude but putting it on like candy bars.
- Perfect. - Cause the name of you guys'
candy bars are just so much more confident than ours.
- This is a great angle, because this is a very unique
and silly angle that the audience won't see coming.
So I think you have a really good start,
and now it's just a matter of organizing it,
and again, even if it's a minute,
just get up on stage and try it,
and just keep doing it over and over again.
- It was like an idea in my mind,
and now it's like, oh, it's okay to try it.
Like you're very encouraging, so thank you so much.
I'm gonna have to try it, aren't I?
Please don't judge me, this is brand new,
I don't know what I'm doing,
but this is what the day is about.
So I'm from England and I've lived here for about six years.
Within about the first six minutes, I realized
that there's a big difference between our cultures.
Americans are very very confident,
they're raised to be like winners!
But in England, if you're good at something,
you better try your damn hardest to make sure no one knows.
An easy way to represent this is idea is with treats.
In England, our treats all kinda represent that
don't make a scene vibe, like we have a cookie
called a digestive biscuit.
Now I didn't think that was weird growing up,
but it does sound like something that makes you poo.
In the US, you have things like paydays, which sounds like
this is as great as getting paid!
This is your reward for being so great!
And that really-- that's probably it for me.
I want to lie down now. (applause)
- Stage three is lunchtime.
Both Becky and I love a cheat day,
and I wanted to show her the sandwich I discovered recently.
It's pretty insane, and I hope she doesn't throw up.
(angel choir) - I'm so hungry.
(Chloe laughs)
That looks like the inside of a vein that's clogged.
- It will clog your veins.
- I mean, it looks fantastic.
I dunno what it is, is it a sandwich or a wrap?
- Yeah, it's a sandwich.
Rib-eye steak, grilled onions,
melted American cheese, chicken fingers,
Mozzarella sticks, bacon, fried egg,
fries, mayo, ketchup on a hero bun.
- I can't believe there's fries in it.
That is the mark of a great sandwich.
It tastes kinda like a barbecue,
like 'cause of all the sauces
and the burgery whatever the hell meat is in there.
I'm so glad I'm wearing such a tight outfit.
- Well, I'm pretty full and we only ate half of it.
But I said I'd eat half because
something you don't really like doing but I want to do
for you is to get good Instagram pictures today.
- I don't know, I don't like posting pictures
where it looks like I tried really hard.
- Yeah, and just for today I wanna push you past that.
'Cause I get that, I find that too, but like
if I'm taking it, maybe you'll feel less weird about it.
(laughs) Let's see, what can you do?
Put one of your hands in your pockets.
Put your hand closer to your hair.
You're like holding it out. (laughs)
- It looks awkward, it's why I don't take pictures.
(camera shutter clicks)
(Chloe laughs) What?
(camera shutter clicks)
- All right, wait, no, come back.
- My name's Samantha Jensen and I'm the CEO--
- Stop, stop, stop,
all right. (both laugh)
- Welcome to my blue lair!
- Stop, all right, stop, lean forward maybe,
but put your legs up, then lean over them maybe.
(laughs)
All right, let's actually just have you
literally lean on a wall.
Oh, that's cute!
Look over that way, great.
We've fricking got it, man!
(camera shutter clicks)
That post ended up getting so many more likes than usual,
and it just affirms my belief that she should be
way more confident in herself.
And that I should be her personal photographer.
Stage five is to get her to see something
she doesn't think she likes in a different light.
She loves nature, and she's not a big fan
of downtown LA, because it's so built up.
So I decided I'm gonna take her to LA's tallest building
and show her what the city looks like from above.
- So I guess we're driving to a mysterious location.
I feel like it's my birthday. (laughs)
Unless it's something terrible, then it's just my funeral.
(lighthearted pop music)
- Right, so-- (laughs)
^So we're going to Spire 73, which is at
^the InterContinental Los Angeles
^Downtown hotel, which is behind us.
So Spire 73 is the tallest open air bar
in all of the western hemisphere.
- Wow, I didn't know there was something that high here.
That's crazy - Yeah.
This is the tallest building in LA.
- Damn. - Let's go, let's go.
- Well, luckily I like heights.
- Here we are, this is level 73.
- Wow. - And the first view
I'm gonna show you is this one.
- What? - Yeah.
- I didn't know there was anywhere like this in LA.
This is insane. - Yeah, but let's go
into the actual bar, 'cause it's really cool.
(lighthearted pop music)
Has this changed your view of downtown?
Not literally. - Literally, it has.
It's literally changed your view of downtown.
What do you think about it?
- It feels like a whole different world up here.
Even like just the space, it feels like we're on a vacation.
- Cheers! - Yay!
- Here's to controlling you.
So the last thing of the day
is purely just something she loves.
Kinda like a thank you for letting me mess with her all day.
She is a massive Harry Potter fan,
so I have a themed surprise up my sleeve.
- I know where we are! - Oh, do you?
- Yeah! - What is it?
- Universal! (squeals excitedly)
- So we're here at Universal Studios Hollywood.
We are specifically going to
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter,
because you are like the biggest fan ever,
and I just wanted to finish off the day
with something that I knew you'd like
and not be uncomfortable at all with.
- Oh, I'm very comfortable! - All right, let's go in.
(exciting orchestral music)
Do you wanna try some butterbeer?
- Yeah! - Let's do butterbeer.
Got a frozen one. - Woo!
- Mm! - I don't know what that is,
but it's great, the goo on top.
- Wow. - Look at this goo.
- I'm not surprised they give you a straw.
- [Becky] All right, I'm totally into that.
- Did you know I was gonna bring you here?
- Mm-mm. - Are you glad I did?
- Yes, I don't think I even deserve a treat at the end,
because it was all fun.
Lumos! (laughs) - Right, let's go see
what this wand can do. - Oh, God.
Wingardium leviosa.
- Jesus! - Wingardium leviosa.
I'm not a Muggle!
Wingardium leviosa.
Oh, okay, I did it, yay!
I'm a wizard, Chloe! (Chloe laughs)
(lighthearted pop music)
- So what I really wanted to do with this video
was to push you to do things that you've wanted to do
but haven't done, or get you to have new experiences,
and I was surprised at how much
you really really liked everything, which is great,
because it means that you should just push yourself
to do stuff that you aren't sure about.
- Yeah, I think everyone should do this with like
their best friend or sibling and see how it turns out.
- Yeah! - Yeah!
- We are very tired now though because it was quite a day,
so we're going to go to bed. - Yes.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye!
