The Anasala family is preparing for a groundbreaking live concert at a sold-out arena with 13,000 attendees, marking a major milestone for YouTubers transitioning from online content to live, in-person performances. The event blends their signature YouTube storytelling style with a full live musical set, including original songs like "Imposter," which reflects the lead singer’s journey of overcoming public speaking anxiety rooted in past trauma. Alan, the older sibling, is given a live challenge to entertain the crowd, adding humor and interactivity. The production is notably high-caliber, led by top-tier professionals who have worked on global events like the Super Bowl and World Cup. Despite tense rehearsals and technical hiccups—such as a failed stage setup and a tense moment involving a wrong door—the team remains confident in the authenticity and emotional impact of the show. Audience reactions are deeply personal, with families from across the world traveling to attend, especially those whose dreams of being part of the event were once out of reach. The performance is not just a concert, but a heartfelt journey of self-acceptance, courage, and connection, proving that YouTube creators can now deliver live, immersive, and emotionally resonant experiences on a global scale. The event also highlights the family’s commitment to authenticity, with no backing tracks and all performances live, making each moment raw, real, and deeply moving.
They were interviewing the Anasala family, one of the most famous families on YouTube, and the reason we're doing this is because they just sold out this entire arena. And we're gonna be interviewing them before their show starts, so let's get into it. - The number one question we're getting everywhere we go, is like, what do you mean a show? What do you mean a concert? What does that even mean? - That's what people ask us all the time. - This whole thing is gonna turn into a full house, and it's gonna be like a 3D house that comes from all angles. - Guys, something you don't know. They're gonna be on stage two. - Does she sing a lot in the house? - Oh yeah, a lot. - Oh, really? - Does it annoy you? - Does it annoy you? - She's very good. - It annoys me a lot. - When you guys started YouTube, like, did you have any idea that like, you'd be doing this one day? - Bro, I thought YouTube was only for DIY and cooking. (laughing) - What's up, guys? Welcome back to the episode. (cheering) - All right, today's a little bit different, obviously. We're with the Anasala family. - Let's go. - All right, clap. - Clap, everybody clap. - All right, there we go. - Wait, wait, I have a question before we keep going. Is that how you actually pronounce it? 'Cause cash sometimes brings us things. - No, I just think we're just gonna need it today. (laughing) - You've been talking to him, wasn't you? - Oh, there goes the camera. - Oh, no. - Oh, that was a big fall. - Yeah, it's a fall. - Okay, guys, we're on the road. That's why they're on the road. - Yeah. - And that is never happened during a podcast episode. - Never happened, actually. - But we said this podcast happened like, record breaking time because they're really about to go on stage. - All right, guys, sorry to fill you guys in. We are in, where are we in Jersey? - Jersey. - Oh, my God, I got to play this morning. I had no clue where he was going. - It's pretty much New York City where we are at right now. I call it New York City. - It is, actually, no. - It is. - I'm pretty sure I'll say that. (laughing) - I don't think you can say that in New York. - Wait, really? - Oh, yeah. - They really like New Jersey. - Yeah. - And they really want to not be New York. (laughing) - It's a little too close to New York. - But anyways, guys, you're probably wondering where we are at. And we are in an arena right now because they sold out a show at 13,000 people. They put the other one podcast tour to shame. - Seriously, seriously. - Oh, you guys are, oh, my God. We learned from you guys a lot. - They're flexing on us right now. - Yeah, they let us go on tour and then us, that's what went wrong, so we told them. So, hey, great. - I have a dumb question. So is there ice underneath this? - Yes. - There's ice. - There's ice freezing. - Okay, that makes so much sense to this whole thing. - It is super cold. - Oh, we're sitting on top of an ice rink right now. - Oh, my God. - So guys, yeah. - This is known to be like a hockey rink, I think. - Basically, we're at a, this is supposed to be a hockey arena, and then ice is literally under this. That's why we're feeling really cold. They do, yeah. - We can't melt it. - Well, no, the fridge, like whatever. - The refrigerator from under. - It's fridging from under. - How do you guys believe about the first show? - Not just your first show. You're doing it in an arena. This way is huge too. - It's so big. - Yeah, I don't know, I don't know how to do this. - I feel like we started what, talking about it in June. - In June, when we sold the tickets, and then I was like freaking out so bad since then. - Wait, that's quick. - I've had so many months to like lead up into like, I thought of every scenario. I was like, wake up, I was like, okay. This could happen, this could happen, this could happen. It's okay. So now like, now I'm like, - Oh my God. - That's good. That's good. - That's been just very stressful. But I think it's coming together. I think it's, it's just. - Yeah, I wasn't stressed at all. - Oh my God. - I think we're here too. - Like, I look really bad, don't I? - No, dude. I actually have a confession. I went on a little investigation today, and I kind of walked around the entire place. - Okay. - Yeah. - Were you supposed to be doing that? - Definitely not. - Okay. - We definitely went to some areas where we're not supposed to go. We may or may not have walked across the very top. - How's that? - I gotta look. - Oh, on the top. - The catwalk. - The catwalk. - Mom, why would you say that? - Wait, that? - It was, I have a video. - You can't make it up there. - Yeah, you skydived from it. - Actually? - I don't like that. - Okay, don't release anything till we leave this place. - Oh, seriously? - No, no, no. - We're gonna cancel the whole show. - No, we got it right up to where we could kind of go up there and we were like, we probably shouldn't do this. - You probably not today. - Thank you so much. - Oh my gosh, I'm so sick. - Yeah. - Right when they leave. - Oh my gosh. - So you made it up on the top right there on the right? - I can take you up there if you really want to. - No, no, no. - No one's going up there. - That's actually crazy. - What are you guys most excited about? - I don't know, we're actually freaking out. Like honestly, we're looking at all this and it's like kind of a belief. I think there's going to be like 13, 14,000 people in this place. It's going to be like a show where we bring our YouTube videos to life. So that's also a thing that's never happened before. - Yeah. - And then she's having her first ever concert. - That's the song. - So that's going to be like the whole concert for one song. - Oh. - Oh. - Damn, it's nine seconds long. - Take that vlog. - And now it's what? - Nine seconds long. - We didn't even release the whole song. - You had it. - And we sold out an arena. - That's crazy. - All I see is the comments. All their comments is like, "Nano way, you know the whole concert for one song." - Yeah. - No, that's crazy. Obviously, guys, by the time this episode's out, do you know what I'm already that she sang a whole concert? It's going to be like, what, eight songs I think? - Oh my god. - Seven. - Wow. - There's a full set. - Are you singing? Are you singing it here? - Yeah. - Oh my god. - That's crazy. - Seven. - Let me just tell you, I never can memorize a song to save my life. - Yeah. - So I had like 10 days to memorize six songs. - Oh god. - And I'm like freaking out. - You're gonna have you guys know nothing's played back, so. - Yeah. Nothing is played back. Everything is live music. - Even though I really wanted to do it. - There's no back track. - There's nothing. There's no vocal. - There's no vocal. - There's no vocal. - Back track. - There's nothing. The whole thing is just. - You could hear every crack. - Oh my god. - Y'all could have just had like a light back track. And nobody would have batted an eye. - No, oh my god. - That's crazy. - That's crazy. - I think it's, she's very, very talented and you guys will see that. - Oh yeah. - By the time this is out. - Yeah, we're not. - I think. - At our shows, we. - Yeah, there's a heavy back track that we saw. - Our show is full lip sync. - No, really. - No. - No. - We definitely play the entire song in the background. - You have to, when you're low, you can't sing. - You gotta do something. - But that's definitely the first. The number one question we're getting everywhere we go. Like, what do you mean a show? What do you mean a console? - Yeah, it's like. - What kind of show is this? - I don't know what to expect from YouTubers. Like, when they do a show. - That's what I love. - And we have a podcast and people are like, what are y'all doing? - No, you can do anything. - Yeah, like, the expectations are so low. But what they don't know, hopefully, fingers crossed. Like, it's gonna be like, legit, a good show. - Well, the production is insane. - Yeah. - Guys, guys, let me tell you something. The production company behind us is like, one of the best in the world. Like, we've looked so much, but like, the guy who's doing the musical direction for the whole thing is the same guy who did the Super Bowl. - No. - It's the whole thing. - For Katy Perry. - For Katy Perry. - Yeah, that's right. - The creative, the creative director who's running a part of the show is the same guy who did the halftime show for the World Cup final. - Wow. - Yeah, and then the builders, the people who are putting all this together. So this whole thing is gonna turn into a full house. And it's gonna be like a 3D house that comes from all angles. - I can't even imagine that. - I don't know how you created that in your head. 'Cause I can't imagine I'm looking at the stage. - We're surrounded by, we're really lucky to be surrounded by really, really cool people. But I think the goal here is like, okay, there's gonna be a lot of people who are gonna be like, okay, what the heck? What the heck are these YouTubers doing, right? - Yeah. - But I think it's to prove to them that, yeah, we got something. - Yeah. - I think there's open a lot. - Can you tell us what you guys are gonna do? - Yeah, by the time it's out, I think it'll be out. - So, you see, I'll give a little intro. So you see how we start our videos with me on the couch. - Yeah. - With the house applesauce. - Yeah. - It's gonna kind of start like that. - Oh. - Real raw uncut. - Oh. - And I'm just gonna say the story. I guess it starts with my story of how like, I've always wanted to be Hannah Montana. 'Cause I grew a shark. - Oh, that's so cute. - And like, pretty much like, facing my fear. - Yeah. - And then it's gonna lead on to the whole show of like, the breakdown. There's segments. Whether that's games, giveaways. And then the finale is kind of like me coming out. - Yeah. - That's good. - Overcoming your fear. - Are you gonna sing your own music? Or are you like, covers? - So it's a mix. I have two originals. - Okay. - One of them nobody's ever heard. - Really? - I'll say now. It is called Imposter. And a little backstory on why I chose that name. I've always felt like an imposter in high school. - Okay. - Like, you know when as a girl. - No, not that one guy said "poster." - No. It's like, you know when you feel like, oh, you're not good enough for you. - Yeah. - And I'm girls, the popular girl. So like, I always felt like an imposter. Like, I don't fit in. - Yeah. - Like, just for reference. I don't think I'm gonna mention that at the shot or no if I will. But like, the story and the lyrics of that, you'll kind of understand. - Is it a original song for you? - Well, it starts with. - There's two versions. It shows the version where it starts off slow and then it has a twist. - Okay. - Yeah. - Oh. - That's how I was so excited. I'm not doing it. I don't know if they could carry me. (laughing) - It is like kids. We met a girl in the airport station. It's like, he is going to the Anasala show. (laughing) - That's so exciting. That's so exciting. We've been meeting a lot of people. We had like, we literally were just walking across the arena. And then we opened one of the doors and we didn't know what was behind it. - A wrong door. - A wrong door. - A wrong door. And then behind that door was just the street. - No. - So when I opened it, there was this lady just like. - Family, yeah. - I just was like, oh my god, we're coming to the shoot tomorrow. - And then they started bawling. - Oh. - And because her daughter, I don't know, there was something about her daughter wanting to come here. And they weren't gonna be able to. - They came from Miami. - And they weren't gonna be able to, but then they managed to figure out how to do it. - So I probably got people coming from across the world. - All over the world. - To be honest, I don't think we knew what to expect. But seeing the people in real life, the people watching us, it's just like a surreal experience. - Yeah. - Even like, I really wanted to cry with her. The mom was crying. - Yeah. - The dad, he was like shaking. - I was like, this family, like, I don't know. I can't even imagine everyone else who's gonna be there. - We had a family flying from LA with us, which is the craziest one. - Oh, that's right. Bye guys something you don't know they're gonna be on
stage two. Yes, yes, yes, yes, what do you want to know what we're doing? Because I don't know. I don't know what we're doing. Well, we're about to rehearse. And it shows them like tomorrow morning and we have no idea what we're doing. We're about to rehearse. So they're getting everything ready. The big box on stage that says hello. Oh, once they're ready. Oh. You guys can see that. No, I can't. It was like wrapped up. It was like wrapped in. It was like a SRAM wrap. That would be fun. I'm excited. Yeah. Are there anything that you guys have been like, man, we're scared of like blank happening during the show? Yeah, me messing up cracking, especially with my interest on it. You're going to be like, I cracked one time and then I cracked again. Guys, I don't know if you know what sound it's like a story. Like her story was like, when she was a kid, she wanted to be Hannah Montana, right? And then she went to her mom's like, hey, mom, I want to be Hannah Montana. I was like, oh, my god. Yes, you can. She goes to school. Everyone's like, boo, you suck. Oh. For real. And then one day. Can I tell them I want to sing? And then one day her teacher, like one of the, like her, her, um, well, I don't know music teacher. Like he asked her to come and sing the national anthem and stage and she was like, oh, my god, this is my moment. I'll do it. Yeah. Keep in mind. I don't know. Is there a video of this? There. There is. I'm not showing you. She goes singing the national anthem and she cracks. I started too high and there was like 3000 people, which I didn't think it could be military, like so serious. Wait, where were you singing the national anthem in high school? I got a good one. I was like, yeah, I was like, why is there 3000 people? Right. You guys should let Harper sing the national anthem before the show. Oh. Maybe you didn't know my dream is to become a singer too. Let's go. Let's go. You got to start with the national anthem or I'm not, I'm not sick. I'm just like. Well, she's not. We should start. You're singing career tomorrow. My singing's great. This is your chance. I'll take over the whole show. Her dream is to be a singer, but she won't ever sing for us. I do sing. I post on take talk and. Yeah. So what happened after you cracked on stage? Oh, my God. So I like, you know, and the rocket's very glaring. Yeah. Oh, that's good. And then I just hear like the audience, like, it's like, it's like, you're here. And then I roll. Like, my heart, I wanted the Florida crack open and swing. Wait, how old were you? I didn't need the Florida crack open and swing. You cracked it and you need the Florida crack open and swing. Oh, you cracked it and you need the Florida crack open and swing. And then I just remember after that, I was like, so tense and then my friend came and she goes, I can't say that F for great. No, that's not it. She was like, she goes, you beeped up and I go, sorry, like, I don't know, and I don't know. How are you? Wait, she said that right when you cracked. She came up to me and then I told her, I leave the thing and then like, I just knew everybody was talking about my mom. That'd be a crazy pull to do why she's still saying. It's okay, but it went really, so since then, she's had this like trauma and she wouldn't sing. I could hear people talking and I was just like, oh my God, I don't want to, I literally went home cried, calling my mom, I was like, I want to move schools, I can't wait. Have you sing since then? And like public. So that's the gig, right? That's the problem. That's the hope. Well, she went and saying, obviously, the sale is sincerely, oh, good, and even that, like, it was just a prep for that, I was just like, my heart, I was like, wait, you didn't even expect that many paid $80,000, you're like, you're like really panicked though because you have like some trauma with it. I do, yeah. And actually, even the sincerely, I was like, it was like an event where there was, like, there was no like property, there was no property, so it was like, it was not, and even the back, like it was mostly back in, you know what I mean? There's a lot of layering and like, so it wasn't, it wasn't, it wasn't a show. Yeah. But I think, like, I think when we started reading all the comments and all the love that she was getting, because she, out of nowhere, she went into one of the videos and she was like, good morning, sun is shining, she started singing it, and I kept it in the video, she didn't even know. That was a joke. That was a joke. That was a joke. That was a joke. That was a joke. I just pressed the board and I was like, waiting and I looked out, oh, the sun's beautiful. Good morning. And then he kept it out. And I kept it in the video. Oh, but it's like the best thing now. So, so we started reading the comments and I was like, dude, like, you got something and it's like, you don't want to ruin it. And then it's like, so the idea here or the goal is like to kind of have her get over that fear. Yeah, yeah. And that's like, that's like at the end of the show. But the lead up to that piece is basically a very interactive piece that we're going to be having with the audience. That's going to come and feel like a YouTube video. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, wow. I don't want to see people coming. I don't see that. I don't want to see that. I don't know what did he say first first he's like 8,000 tickets. You think you could sell in a day and then he goes I could sell 15,000 in an hour I just thought my yo we sold out in 25 minutes All those videos now, I don't know what where I'm gonna put that video, but I was like this has to be I don't know You do have like to acquire a certain level delusion to pull this all right. Yeah, I don't know I really don't get I don't know what was what I was thinking about but I think from our perspectives Like I think we have a belief in our family like the fans all the people who are watching us at home I genuinely believe that they have done so much for us and we've seen how much they they love us I think there's another place of this has never been done before from YouTubers perspective like so I think there is a world where we should all be trying things like that I think there's is the next things like you guys have taken a leap before anyone else and took it on tour and I think that's actually Fricking crazy and and we just we just I was like okay. We're not gonna do what they're doing We're just gonna bring everyone to one place and I think that's so that was that was a bit of it But and I think I think this will be the future. I think youtubers will have to go live So all right, we need to be honest about something our group maybe well sometimes it always uses DoorDash for Everything it's not our fault. It's so convenient seriously. It's like once a day sometimes more at this point We all have our goats who orders. Yeah, but honestly DoorDash has become such a simple staple in our lives Because we're always on the go filming recording traveling or working on something and something always comes up Somebody needs a coffee somebody forgets to eat and suddenly we're out of snacks We've even used DoorDash during video shoots when we realized we need last minute essentials We've gotten batteries waters and other things we needed to keep the day moving That's what I love about it. It's way more than just ordering dinner Whether it's groceries supplies or sending someone their favorite tree after they've had a rough day It just makes life easier and honestly those little things mean a lot It's an easy way to show up for people. Yeah, that's why we use DoorDash so much It helps us take care of each other and keeps life running when things get chaotic It's honestly just one of those apps we end up using all the time and somehow it always comes in clutch Got you delivered DoorDash order now There we go. So Anna's out of family. You can make your dream come true. Oh, I will. I will Man if I'm all gonna be in the crowd watching. Yeah, are you are you training at least? I do voice lessons and I did um singing and theater growing up and some like that Yeah, she's a really good singer. She really she is. She's just like scared to do it in front of us I am scared because I'm sure I'm gonna cry. That's how I that's how I'm like I'm still like that It's just don't get like it's hard because I can't make scared like with all that pressure Something happens and you're some you almost can't you lose control Yeah No, like I'm getting nervous sometimes and like I'm literally like shaking a little bit Yeah, I can only imagine like trying to like see at that level like that crazy And you were saying before this how you like have like a little bit of choreography to go with this You're like saying No, I mean, are you gonna dance for them like a bit? They're like what do you expect in just standing like a stick? I'm like yeah, I could just say like a And then they're like no, you gotta do it a little bit of something. But yeah, like I don't know. I'll probably mess up Like I'll be The best part is if you I can't more about the vocal than then. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not a dancer Well, if you do mess up it'll be a lot of viral TikToks which just makes you more famous Bro, if she if you messes up, we sell a whole tour So that's what she's doing.
