Oh I'm nice and hairy now
You've always been hairy
Hello everybody! Today I am joined with Alfie Deyes
A.K.A my boyfriend. I feel like I start every video like that
whenever I'm with you.
The video that we are filming today is
The Boyfriend Tag!
So I thought, you know what guys -
Wait so is this all about me?
No, it's about us together as a couple
So "The Couple Tag"?
No, but it is called "The Boyfriend Tag"
...because your bring your boyfriend on the channel, okay.
So, I've been really nice to Alfie today
and I've said, you know what, I'll let you come on my channel
And we'll film this video that everyone has been desperate for me to do
since I met you
The pressure!
In case any of you aren't familiar
The Boyfriend Tag is something that has been floating around the internet for a really long time
There is a set of questions I will leave them in the description box
And we're going to answer them for you, honestly
I honestly don't even know what one of the questions is
Question Number 1
Wooh!
Where did we meet?
Are we talking meet?
Meet
k
Wait, is this like a competition? Am I meant to know? Or are you meant to know?
Or are we just talking about it?
It's not a competition!
Not everything is a competition, Alfie!
I thought it was like, I have to say and you have to say and we see if we get it right
No! It's just a discussion
Oh it is just informing (for) these guys to know
We met.... at a YouTube event
Back in what year? (In London)
2012? It was in 2012
Me and Louise... It was actually - ooh sorry...
I was gonna say me and Louise went to see you and Marcus in your hotel room
before we went to the event.
It was before the actual event and I remember cause
you were texting me like "oh we're on the way"and stuff
and I was like brushing my teeth and Marcus and I had stayed there the night before
and I remember you, hearing you knocking on the door and I was like topless
and I was like
Is this weird for the first time-
*Nala barks*
Excuse you!
Little bitch.
If the first time I meet Zoe and Louise I'm just like standing here in my boxers
Oh yeah you didn't have-
Cause I, I was like shaving in the bathroom
Or, does Skype count?
Cause we had video called on Skype (nah) for like hours and hours
But physically met...
Nah, I don't think Skype calls count
Ok, in London.
Ok, Question Number 2.
Where was our first date?
Oooh
See- I've got an answer for this
So do I. But I don't know if your answer is the same as my answer
I'm gonna say
Oh ok I was gonna say 3, 2, 1 it
I feel like because we were friends first
It's really hard to know what (no I know it) was the date and what was it
But I feel like our first proper thing that we did together
when we were like seeing each other
Oh, I hate that term
So do I but we weren't like official really
Was when we went
I'm trying to get cosy, cross my legs.
Was when we went on the Brighton wheel.
Oh no I was going to say a different time.
When were you going to say?
I'm going to actually insert some pictures of us on the Brighton wheel
Can I do that? Yeah, yeah
No one has ever seen this pictures before!
It was awkward - it wasn't awkward between us...
but it was awkward because we went on the Brighton wheel
we had some like VIP experience. They were like "do you want champagne before?"
and Zoe's like "I dont even drink!"
I'm like "I don't really want a champagne by myself!"
It was the middle of the day as well
We got on the wheel and we're like hmm, what now?
Honestly
What do we do know?
We were like do we just take Instagrams?
No, it wasn't awkward (no not between us) but the wheel just went on.
It went round and round. Yeah that's what I mean.
I was like I wonder how long we're on this for? Like..
They said 3 times round but we definitely went round like 10 times.
Yeah!
I was going to say when went to go see Billy Elliot
Ooowwwh that was
That was a proper like
Oh yeah but which one happened first?
Z: I think the Brighton wheel happened.. A: We'd have to look on my photos on my phone...
A: ...to see which one
Z: I think the Brighton Wheel happened first.
I think the Brighton wheel happened, but that wasnt like a date.
That was like... It was!
No it wasn't
Yes it was!
Like
You arranged it
and we went up in the wheel
Nah! I didn't even pay for it
Someone just said do we want to go on it for free
Didn't we go to the Sea Life centre as well
That day
Yeah, that was our first proper date
Basically I went to stay at Alfie's and
he was like oh- we probably just filmed a video or something
I think we did a YouNow maybe
I remember it was the day I uploaded my video on Panic Attacks and anxiety
Was it? That very day that I hit upload on that.
Because on the train on the way to Billy Elliot I was reading through everyone's comments
Yeah.
So Zoe arrived at my parents house
um just expecting to come to stay like normal
and I said oh we're going somewhere exciting like I planned a little something and I know
You're not the most keen on surprises, because of your anxiety
Oh you like them but they're just a bit difficult for you
Yeah
So I was like just trust me with this one you're gonna enjoy it. Ok?
Bearing in mind I wasn't great with travel either
and we traveled at peak time.
Yeah. I am surprised we even bloody got there
so we got in the taxi and Zoe was like Ok where are we going?
Like to a restaurant or something?
I said bring your suitcase with you she was like what is going on?
We jumped on the train
Ok we're going to London.
And I wouldn't even let you know where on the train we were going at first
Until they were like saying it was London and stuff
Yeah I know I was like oh my god we could literally end up in anywhere
Like Manchester
Yeah, so um
So we arrived in London
Then you said oh do we need a taxi? And I was like no we don't need another taxi
Because Billy Elliott is literally like outside Victoria station.
so
We walked to Billy Elliott
and yeah I think we went to go and see the show.
And I purposely booked tickets that had aisle seats so we were right next to the aisle
In case Zoe wanted to leave if you felt anxious
Aww you're so cute
Aaah we had the best seats as well you could get
And then
Then we stayed in a hotel
Yeah and then afterwards you were like
Oh so why have we brought our bags are we going back?
And I was like no I've booked a really cool hotel
And we've actually stayed in that hotel since then like 5 times?
Yeah we love that hotel
What was your first impression of me?
Ah I hate cringy stuff like this and we're doing it on YouTube as well
You're gonna hate this whole video then
Be serious
What do you mean first impression?
Like when I saw you across the room at a party that was the first impression, wasn't it?
No when you knew me what was your first impression of me?
No but like first impressions is first impressions
Yeah ok
I saw you across the room at a party
I dunno
I feel like my first impression of you was that you were
Was like DAMN!
No, I think it was that you were really outgoing
Like I was like he is not shy of anything, like
Cause of your like videos and
and like just how you were like you were very charasmatic and you were very like outgoing
But not in like an annoying way just like in your very sure of yourself
Cocky, thanks!
No not cocky. You were just like sure of yourself and confident and like yeah
I think that was my first impression of you
I dunno my first impression of you
Honestly. Did you think I was fit?
No, because what happened is that like Zoe
Long story short, Zoe liked one of my videos
And everyone was commenting like Zoella liked your video
And I was like who the blimmen hell is this?
So I went to her channel and there was like 160,000 subscribers!
I was like oh geez!
I tweeted her saying thanks for liking my video!
And you tweeted me back saying I saw you at the party
And then I DMed you
Literally I- Literally you just DMed me saying 'You got Skype'?
I am never like this!
This is why I can't remember our first impression of each other.
Because I am never like this with girls at all!
Should I see if I can it? I must still have it
And I DMed you saying
What's your skype?
Or something like that
But why didn't I say what's your number?
That evening we Skyped for like 6 hours on video
We used to Skype until like 4am every night
Do you remember that? On video though!
We would hear the birds outside and we were like oh my god we should probably go to sleep
But we didn't even know each other and like the first time I ever spoke to you was on video on Skype!
Like within, like we tweeted each other once
And then we were Skype videoing for 6 hours!
I feel like I am very like that.
Like if I know I am going to get on with someone, I'm like screw the faffing around
Let's just get on!
But was it awkward? Like what did we talk about the first time?
Was it not awkward?
We talked about everything
When did you meet the family?
I met your family the first day I ever came to your house
Yep I met your family
I met your Mum actually do you remember we went out for lunch in that cool place
It was kinda like a church
Yeah! - That was like changed into like
And my grandma!
Yeah and your Grandma was there.
It was me, you, my Mum and my Grandma. - Yeah.
When did I meet your Dad?
Probably just first time I went to your house
Yeah, I don't know when.
Ages ago
Do I have any weird obsessions? If so what?
You never do anything, we kind of already just touched on this
You never do anything a little bit
Like yesterday you read an entire book in like 3 hours
Or you're like, oh have you seen this TV series?
Then you watch it all in one day
Like you're never just like
I'm enjoying this at the moment
You're either obsessed and only doing that thing or nothing at all.
Or not it at all
You're obsessed with Facebook viral videos!
Holy crap!
If Alfie is behind on any deadlines it's because he has been scrolling through Facebook for 5 hours
Watching like all the 30 second videos
It is too hard to not watch them
Or gadgets.
Yeah like camera equipment and stuff
Oooh, Question 6
How long have we been together?
I feel like everyone has their guess. Have we even ever said?
We've never said how long we've actually been together
Funnily enough actually we've never even celebrated an Anniversary
We forget all the time.
The first Anniversary we were in like on tour in America or Canada, DigiTour.
The next one we were on, were we on AmityFest the next one?
Yes
We were on AmityFest the next Anniversary
And then last year
Last year we just like forgot and it was the 8th and I think our Anniversary is on the 4th
See we don't even know!
We always say whether it's the 3rd or the 4th and it was the 8th and I was like
You know like 4 days ago it was our Anniversary?
And you were like oh yeah!
So we've been together
Like 3 and a half years
3 and a half years woah!
Hold on let me say it!
October, November, December, January.... 3 and a half years
Do you know, that's a long time!
That's a blimmin long time, that's too long!
It's long enough that I am happy to do the Boyfriend Tag
Did you hear what I said?
You said it's too long - too long!
You're lucky, aren't you?
You're lucky!
No you're lucky
Look at this
Do you have a tradition?
Do we have a tradition?
I feel like we do but I don't know...
Great answer
We don't do we?
Not really I feel like we're pretty standard
Except for our stomach farting game!
Oh, yeah (haha)
That's not really a tradition, that's an inside joke.
What was our first road trip together?
Probably going to each others' houses
Yeah, I was literally gonna say "That IS a roadtrip!"
Going from my house to Alfie's house every time to visit him was so long
Like 3 1/2 hours
But also we get to travel the world together,
So it doesn't really count, I guess. We travel a lot together all the time.
That's one of the good things of having Zoe doing YouTube as well
When it's like "Ah, Alfie, you need to be on tour for two weeks in America..."
I'm like "Mm", Zoe's on that tour as well!
So it's kind of easier.
What was the first thing that you noticed about me?
Do you know what I feel like one of yours was, that I noticed...
...that you had really long, dark eyelashes.
Huh, why would that be a thing?!
I don't know, but I remember thinking his eyelashes are really long and dark.
And your smirk!
Do you remember, you used to do your little smirk?!
I'm gonna try and find a picture and insert it...
NOW (Alfie's "side smirk")
A: ..my side smirk Z: Yeah, your little like...
The fact that you blimmin' love Disco Pants!
Z:oh yeah A:you didn't ever take your disco pants off
