- I was born ready.
It's like I came out the womb ready to do this.
There is a lot of cool stuff that happens on my phone,
and no one gets to see it.
Hi, I'm Alex Warren.
I'm with Seventeen, and today we're playing read receipts.
I would usually say read.
Read would be the proper way I would say it.
It'll switch off.
I feel like usually
people are pretty standoffish about that,
but I'm kind of excited. (text pings)
The last time I lied.
I don't know.
I don't know when's the last time I lied,
so let's skip, and let's do some fun dares.
(text pings)
It's actually funny.
My last text is to my girlfriend
and it says, "I'm still hungover from that NyQuil.
Haha, I'm groggy."
And she goes, "You took NyQuil?"
(chuckles softly) I'll show you.
It's like 10 minutes ago.
I have a really bad sleep schedule,
so I'll take NyQuil, or Benadryl, or Melatonin,
whatever works, and you know,
I'll get probably four to five hours of sleep,
but when I wake up, I don't drink or smoke,
so when I wake up, it's like my hungoverness is that.
(text pings)
The weirdest thing about me?
It's very subjective.
If you know me, there's a lot of weird things about me.
I come off as a pretty crazy person,
but my ideal night or ideal week
would be laying on the couch, not getting up,
and hanging out with my dogs,
and I feel like that's weird
because if you see me on social media,
it seems like such a crazy time,
and we're all messing around,
but truthfully, my happy place
is my sweet spot on the couch,
where my butt is imprinted to the couch,
and you know, it's really hard to get up.
You don't want it.
(text pings)
The last time I cried was when
we watched the scene from the Netflix show.
The scene where we visit my dad's grave,
and I cry every time we watch that episode.
So if I'm feeling like I need to just get some tears out,
I'll just turn on the show and press episode seven.
(text pings)
Let's skip that one. (laughs loudly)
The last playlist I made was,
Songs I Like by Alex Warren,
and it's pretty much got James Arthur,
Lewis Capaldi, Shawn Mendes,
and a bunch of people who make sad music.
That's my jam.
I like to listen to music at like 4:00 AM
and contemplate life.
(text pings)
Wow! Okay. (laughs loudly)
I don't know, I mean,
obviously I'm in love now
with this amazing girl that I've been dating
for three years.
It's difficult to say because for me as a kid,
it's easy to think you're in love,
and I've been dating Kouvr for three years.
So my last relationship when I was like 16, 17.
And so, I think honestly, I might have been in love
like twice, three times,
but that's very subjective to me,
where it's like, you know
some people will be like,
"Oh, that's not love. You were in fifth grade."
And I'm like, "Well, she played handball with me so."
Oh, I have a lot of fears.
I'm scared of everything.
I'm scared of being alone.
I'm scared of elevators.
Elevators freak me out.
I'm scared of us getting trapped,
and I'm also scared of heights.
I'm scared of confrontation.
If there's confrontations a lot,
I'll walk away.
I'm not gonna be confrontational.
(text pings)
It is Abby Gospel, which is so funny.
I went to a private school with Abby.
It was from my third grade to the seventh grade.
So, I've known her for a while
but I haven't talked to her in forever.
Hi Abby, by the way. (laughs loudly)
Nice to see you.
(text pings)
Oh, my weight.
Wow. Yeah.
My biggest insecurity is my weight for sure,
or how I come off.
I'm scared of what people think of me for sure.
Which is so funny because in this job
you're not really supposed to care
because believe it or not, not everyone's gonna like you
but I think where it comes down to is like
it comes into the fear of being alone
is I have such a tight-knit group around me
and there's a very specific amount of people I hang out with
and the fear of them talking behind my back
or the fear of them saying stuff,
which I don't think they do,
but if they do, I'm coming for you.
I know you, and I know who you are.
(text pings)
I'll skip, 'cause I don't remember my last mistake.
Ooh. That I was not expecting.
All right, it's a new song
and there's nothing there. (chuckles softly)
I was trying to write a song
and I was in a writing session,
and for three hours we could not write anything.
So this is what I got.
Anyone who's looking forward to my next DP or my next song,
this is what you've got to work with, guys.
It's a new piece. It's a sad piece.
It's kind of contemporary.
Yeah. (laughs loudly)
My problem is if I say it,
no one will believe me. (laughs loudly)
Everyone's gonna look at me and be like,
"Nah." (laughs loudly)
(text pings)
Honestly it's probably, I just got an Oculus,
so it's probably something with that.
Oh, this is cool.
Me and Kouvr been watching this TV show
called "Are You The One?"
And I watch Netflix shows or you know, prime video shows
or whatever you wanna call them, reality shows,
and I always like to keep up with them
and see exactly when you watch those dating shows
and they get paired together by a perfect match,
you kind of wanna see like,
huh, is this bull or are they actually together still?
And so I pretty much just Googled
every single person on that show,
and then also, taking NyQuil for sleep.
What you should know.
(text beeps)
I listen to the "Frozen," soundtrack a lot.
I wouldn't say that's embarrassing
but some people might see it embarrassing
but something about Olaf,
like that song with Olaf.
Oh, but "Let It Go," is just such a classic.
I know how to play it on guitar.
So it makes me happy.
My first.
My very first one was probably
it's so mainstream, but it was probably Margot Robbie.
Oh gosh. She texted me.
She passed away a few months ago,
but the last text she sent me
was, "Happy birthday. Congrats on 21."
And I said, "Thanks, mom. I love you."
And then I didn't realize it at the time
but she had passed away and I was in Europe
and I sent her this photo
and I said, "I'm in Rome right now.
I thought you'd love this."
So yeah, that was the last text I sent her.
I don't know. (text pings)
I don't know what people think of me.
That's one of my biggest fears, right?
I think my biggest misconception about me
if there was one, because I have no idea
what people think of me.
A lot of people think I'm mean, which is strange.
'Cause it's like, I'm scared of people.
(laughs nervously) I have no idea how I could be mean.
I'm probably the last person to be mean
because I'm a cat.
(text pings)
My looks. What's not to like?
I don't know. I think honestly, it's like,
you know I heard Lewis Capaldi say this one time,
but it's a feast for the eyes
and I think it's a lot of feasting for you guys
and you look full.
Wow. We are really going into this.
There was no pre-warm up
kind of like tease.
This is good you guys.
We're really, we're making headlines here.
My top. Oh God. (laughs loudly)
It is a guy I'm doing a brand deal with.
Okay. All right, let's do this.
He says, hit me up today when we're live my guy.
We're talking about me posting a brand deal.
His name is Ben.
I'm just gonna send him three blowing kisses.
One, two, three.
All right. Sent.
Look at that. It's pretty much, "Good afternoon.
Checking back. Let me know what day works best for you."
It's so professional.
And then there's just, "What day would you prefer?"
And then he tells me, and I didn't respond,
and then he goes, "Hit me up today."
So I hit him up with a few kisses
to let him know I'm doing it.
I'm doing the brand deal.
It's happening with love,
and if you guys wanna go watch the show,
go watch the show, it's on Netflix
and listen to my music if you're in the mood to cry.
Wait, wait, wait one more thing.
Something that no one knows about me is I have a cavity
and I need to go get it fixed.
Am I gonna get it fixed?
I don't know. I don't have a dentist.
I should get a dentist.
(bright upbeat music)
