βͺ Oh, God βͺ
What do you think
people would be most
interested to know
that you did
during quarantine?
So many people in quarantine
lost their job.
So many people
don't have the privilege
to work, right?
And I have these doors
that have opened for me
to actually work,
which I feel is an honor
and a privilege,
and so I want to do my best
with this opportunity
to create stuff
that will inspire
and give them an insight
and maybe some cool,
different perspective, too.
Michael Ratner:
Why were you willing
to go and be like,
"Okay, let's have
cameras back.
Let's pick this up
where we left off."
Why do you think that
your fans would love
that so much?
First of all,
people love a happy ending.
Um, people love to see people
rise to the occasion.
I just feel like,
right now, it's a really
happy season,
and I want people
to get an inside look of,
"This guy really is
just a human
who's just figuring it out
like you and me."
- Amazing.
- Cool, cool.
Thanks, guys.
Appreciate ya's.
What's up, guys?
Are these new?
Dang, these are fire.
Michael:
What are we doing here?
Just getting a little
COVID test.
- You wanna swab.
- Yeah, I'll swab it up.
- Let's get it goin'. Yeah.
- Can I swab myself?
There you go.
Three, two, and one.
- Boom.
- Place that in there.
- Whee.
- There you go.
- My guy, Daniel C.
- ( Daniel chuckles )
Michael: You ended up
having to cancel the tour.
Where did your head go?
Obviously,
I was excited to perform.
I love performing.
It's one of my favorite
things in the world.
I love using what I'm good at
to make other people smile,
make other people happy.
But you just gotta release
that control to God,
trust that His plan
is better than our plan.
You know, I either was
going to sit around
and mope about it
and be depressed
or use that time to say,
"You know what?
This is not the plan,
but I can work on this
in my life.
Let me work on my relationship
with my wife."
Michael:
During quarantine,
most couples are having
more trouble than prior.
- How'd it go?
- So good. Perfect.
It couldn't have
gone better.
You know?
What more do you
have to do?
I just have to do liners.
- And then you're done?
- Yeah.
How cute.
Are we going
on a dinner date?
We can, totally.
Michael:
Divorce rates went up.
You went the exact
opposite direction.
Why is that?
You know, her and I
have really big lives.
And Hailey's such
a driven person.
I'm such a driven person.
So it allowed us
to take a step back
and focus on each other.
That was actually
really a beautiful thing.
- What?
- Our cover.
Let me see.
That's the cover?
- Wow, it's out?
- Mm-hmm.
It says, "My heart
is where my wife is."
Justin:
That's pretty.
Hailey really empowers me
and enables me to feel.
Like, "Justin,
I love you for you.
You are enough."
And that enables me
to go into my work space
and be confident and feel
like I'm enough.
And I think we're just
learning how to navigate
the relationship.
I mean,
we're now two years in.
Camera man:
Congrats, you two.
You already know, baby.
I made her a Bieber.
Had to wife it down.
You already know, baby.
( camera shutters clicking )
( overlapping laughter,
chatter )
Woman:
I need video of this.
( overlapping chatter )
I'm glad we, like,
made room for those moments.
We still, throughout
all that night, like,
we had that moment
where we stopped and we were
just, like, having a moment.
- You know?
- It was so fun. Yeah.
Hailey:
I look back on that time
and we both
really enjoyed our wedding.
We had a lot of fun.
I always think, if we were
to have done our wedding
the place we're in now
as opposed to then,
or even the year before that,
what would have been different?
And I just think that
both of us continue
to just become healthier people
from that moment forward.
Quarantine forced
you and I to address
some things head on.
Hailey:
The more time you spend
with somebody,
the more you learn
about each other,
and quarantine,
especially,
all you have
is time with each other.
It's so hard to show
your weakness.
But acknowledging your weakness
allows you to grow.
Here, get a seat.
Oh, okay.
All right.
- You want "bake-on"?
- Yes, please.
"Bake-on"?
Thanks, baby.
We continue to just show
one another that, you know,
you're my priority.
You continue to remind me
I'm your priority.
And I think time,
like you continue to say,
shows that.
It allows us to continue
to see each other's heart,
you know, and see,
"Okay, this person has
my best interest."
And we're building a life.
And we have something
to look forward to,
and it's growth
and it's hope
and it's all the things
that I think we all
crave as individuals.
It's incredible.
And I love you.
Me, too.
Michael:
You also got a new tattoo.
What's the meaning
behind the rose?
I think the thorns symbolize
the rough spots in my life.
The flower is such
a representation of beauty.
Michael:
You don't have that much
more real estate left.
Yeah, so I think I'm done
on my neck.
That's a Hailey request.
( chuckles )
My back is still pretty open,
and I don't have kids yet,
and so I'm thinking
of getting their portraits
on my back.
There's something
powerful that happens
when you commit to someone
in front of all your friends
and family
before God, under oath.
It's a crazy thing.
- Yeah.
- Like, something
really does switch.
Camera man: Pastor
Judah Smith, you conducted
the ceremony today.
Anything you'd like to share
with the bride and groom?
Oh, my God.
I love you guys so much.
And this celebration,
this party,
is really, really special.
Justin:
Judah is my pastor,
but he's also a brother.
Yeah, I just say
you're my pastor
and you're my brother.
That's pretty much it.
One of the most
amazing things
is just how much
you value your family,
how much you value
your wife.
And that's the kind of man
I want to be.
I want to be a man
who adds value to his family
and his-- his wife.
So thank you for being
that example for me.
- Thanks for saying that.
- For sure.
Marriage is just
difficult in general,
Um, and what's added
in your relationship
is obviously the pressure
of the perception of people
that actually don't know
the details
and want to know the details,
and so they project on you.
Justin: I always
want to let people know,
you know, we are on a journey.
- We're so not perfect.
- Totally.
We are working
on our relationship
and we want the best
for one another,
but we're gonna snap
at one another,
we're gonna say the wrong thing
and be hurtful sometimes.
As you do
in any relationship.
Parents, siblings,
friends.
Sometimes a good fight
is good for a marriage,
by the way.
You know, it's like,
tell each other the truth.
Like, "Well, that
bothered me, too," you know?
I think you guys fight fair
and you fight well.
And there are some aspects
of two years that you're still
gonna deal with in 21 years.
I hope that's not discouraging,
but it's like-- it's that dance,
and the music changes
without knowing,
and the only goal
is just to keep dancing.
Sure, all the cameras
are here,
but this is absolutely
who you guys are.
You know, as we're
doing this right now,
this is not something
you have to put on.
I just want to celebrate that
in the two of you.
I said it best
in the "Holy" song,
βͺ I don't do well
with the drama βͺ
βͺ And, no, I can't
stand it being fake βͺ
I just can't
stand fake stuff.
I never have.
- Say that.
- I never have been able
- to be in a room
with people who are--
- Never.
I just want to be me.
The biggest thing
about me that I want
is to have my family's back,
the people I care about,
that I love,
my friends' back,
and, like, support people
and uplift people
and, you know,
that's something I feel like
he does really well, too.
Michael:
You really have kept
the same inner circle.
Justin:
Yeah.
I think that all of my
relationships
are better than they've been
in a very long time.
( chatter )
βͺ Oh, God... βͺ
Okay, that was great
execution, boys.
That is what you call
good basketball.
βͺ The way you hold me,
hold me, hold me, hold me βͺ
βͺ Feels so holy... βͺ
Nice shot.
Justin:
It's not stuff,
success, things.
It doesn't bring the fulfillment
that we think.
It's relationship,
it's true relationship.
Real secure people
add value to people.
Real secure people
uplift people.
Real secure people
lead with love and humility.
That's what we want.
We want our friends
and our family
to have that disposition
towards us.
I want to continue
to just, like, learn,
grow, and...
- Yeah.
- Yep.
Justin:
I think a lot of people in life
feel like they have
to put on a front
because maybe who they are
isn't good enough.
I want to be the type
of person and leader
who can tell people,
"You don't have to put
on a front.
You don't have to act
a certain way.
Who you are is enough."
( phone line rings )
Yo.
So, we're gonna start talking
a little bit
about the creative
for "SNL"
and, uh, you had some
really good ideas.
Colin:
You can have this really
beautiful blue overhead light
that's over them,
and then on the left and right,
you have these lights
that are just standing
through the set
that are like an orange.
The staging, we--
And at the end,
it's like I'm spotlit
at the end, like,
on the stage. ( sings )
So we have to time it out
in rehearsals, like, perfect.
A simple light,
and then we--
maybe we light Benny
in the background
- and he's been
playing it the whole time.
- Exactly. The whole time.
That could be dope.
I think that's it.
- We got it.
- ( laughs )
Missed me, yo?
Oh, man.
Justin:
I wanted to make something
that was gonna be empowering.
And Chance and I's hearts
aligned in what we want
to accomplish.
What was that?
Was it a four-bar count in?
Both of us are in a place
in our lives
that we want to show
this message of hope.
βͺ I hear a lot
about sinners... βͺ
I have this hope in my
relationship with God.
I have this hope
with my relationship
with my wife.
βͺ That the way you hold me,
hold me, hold me, hold me βͺ
"The way you hold me
feels so holy"
It's talking about
that significant other.
A lot of people
may come from a broken family
or might come from a family
that they're now like,
"Ah, I don't want to get married
because of X, Y, Z."
And it's like,
"If Justin can do it.
If Chance is talking about
how beautiful this unity is,
then maybe I can do it,"
you know?
βͺ I'm a believer,
my heart is fleshy βͺ
βͺ Life is short with a temper,
like Joe Pesci βͺ
βͺ They wanna come
and sing your praises,
your name is catchy βͺ
βͺ They don't see you how I see
you, Parlay and Desi βͺ
βͺ Tween, Tween, Hesi,
hit the jet speed... βͺ
Those other guys
are so hard.
- ( laughs ) Oh, my God.
- βͺ Oh, God... βͺ
βͺ Oh, God, runnin' to the altar
like a track star βͺ
βͺ Can't wait another second βͺ
βͺ The way you hold me βͺ
βͺ Hold me, hold me, hold me,
hold me βͺ
βͺ Feels so holy βͺ
( crowd cheering )
So, you don't use this?
You do.
You pedal and that.
βͺ They say we're
too young and βͺ
βͺ The pimps
and the players say... βͺ
βͺ Don't go crushin'! βͺ
- Yeah.
- You know?
It's-- it's the fact
that it's, like--
it's definite.
Like, you don't--
you don't un-age.
- You know what I mean?
- One thing you know for sure
is you're gonna age,
you're gonna die.
Yeah, yeah.
It's crazy.
I was thinking
the other day.
I was really like,
"I'm in the best place
in my whole life,
right now."
I'm the most fulfilled.
I feel the most stable.
I feel the most secure.
I feel the most confident.
I feel so...
just at peace.
For the first time
in my life,
I don't feel like
I'm striving.
I feel like I know
who God's called me to be,
where I am,
where I'm supposed to be,
I'm walking
the plans of God.
And, like, that's so--
the assurance of that
is amazing.
I love you,
for real, for real.
Michael:
When you go back
and you look at old--
for most people,
it's home videos,
for you,
it's documentaries
and all these different
things-- there's consistency.
Right. All the people
who were there
during that time
when I was 15
and trying to figure it all out
when I was like--
like, they're still
in my life.
And I just think, like,
there's something cool
about, um, saying,
"Hey, how did you feel
during this time?
Do you remember?"
- There we go.
- ( sighs )
( music playing )
βͺ Everybody knows my name now βͺ
βͺ But somethin' 'bout it
still feels strange βͺ
βͺ Like lookin' in a mirror,
tryna steady yourself βͺ
βͺ And seein' somebody else... βͺ
Justin:
I was so surrounded.
Millions of people
in the audience,
but I still felt lonely,
I still felt misunderstood,
I still felt hurt.
βͺ Maybe when I'm older,
it'll all calm down βͺ
βͺ But it's killin' me now... βͺ
I actually teared up
in that video
when I was watching
Jacob Tremblay,
who is an incredible
young actor, play me.
I just had no idea
what was to come.
I had no idea that this life
would take me by storm.
I had no idea
that I would just get sucked up
by all of this stuff.
βͺ That's just
oh, so lonely βͺ
βͺ I'm so lonely βͺ
There were so many people
who were just so mean.
Random people saying,
like, "You suck!"
"You look like a girl."
I would shake it off
and act like it didn't
bother me,
but that stuff bothered me,
and then it affected
how I acted
and how I treated people,
and it's just
this ongoing cycle
of, like, hurt people
hurt people.
I just was this
young, like, kid.
βͺ I'm so lonely βͺ
βͺ Lonely βͺ
It makes me sad.
You know, I, like,
cry every time.
- It makes you sad?
- Yeah.
I'm watching it and, like,
there's a moment of sadness
for, like, how quickly
it all happened.
Yeah, I mean, like,
it brings you back.
I mean, does it for you?
You're this, like, star
that is supposed to have
it all together.
And you don't realize
the power of just saying,
"Hey, this is
how I'm feeling."
I just kind of let
the insecurities
of everything going on
dictate how I kind
of started to move.
We're looking at it
as, like, "Wow, that--
that sucks.
I'm sorry you went through that.
For real."
So, he was in the booth
the other day for the acoustic.
And he couldn't
get the words out
and he broke down and cried,
and our conversation
before that was like,
"Have you actually spoken
about what this song
actually means to you?"
And you hadn't.
Man, I think that
there was times
where I was really,
really suicidal.
Like, really like,
"Man, is this pain ever
gonna go away?"
It was so consistent.
The pain was so consistent.
I was just suffering, right?
So I'm just like,
"Man, I would rather not
feel this than feel this."
I really do believe
that God works all things
together for good.
And I think sometimes
it's hard to see that
when things are so messy.
And I think that that
allows me to have
this overwhelming confidence.
If I could do it
all over again,
I would've had you in therapy,
day one.
Having someone separate
from all of us to talk to.
And express and everything--
I was 25.
There was so much
that happened that, like,
we didn't take the time
to explain,
but it's because
I didn't even think
to explain it to you.
And then I'm watching it
and I'm like,
"Wow, there are
so many tragedies
that could've been avoided."
But then, by the end,
I'm like, "There he is, though."
And I know that person.
I know you.
- Justin: Yeah.
- And I'm like, "Well,
this is a celebration."
I just would encourage people,
like, hey,
if you're feeling lonely,
talk about it.
Say it out loud.
There's a freedom in that.
I could've avoided
a lot of pain.
All right, let's see.
It's amazing that you
brought us back
to where, for me,
it all started with Justin,
to Atlanta, Georgia.
A kid with the floppy hair
that no one really knows
what to expect.
And now I can say
he is the biggest entertainer
alive right now.
And he is surrounded
by good, beautiful people.
( crowd cheers )
Man, I can't believe
that was that long ago.
That was five-- five,
four and a half years ago?
Four and a half years ago.
A lot has happened,
obviously, in four
and a half years.
I mean, how many kids
have you had since then?
Since then?
Two.
- You got married.
- Two kids, you got married.
Both of us.
We've gotten married since then.
We're more present now
than any of those times,
any of those videos.
I'll take it a step further.
I'm glad you're alive.
- Yeah.
- For sure.
There were sometimes there
where I was like...
( exhales )
Okay, we got another day.
If you were
to tell me right now,
when he was 16...
I'm going in pizza shops
and just getting in
people's face.
- Yeah.
- Bro, what are you doing?
Now our conversations are like,
"The trip's gonna be so great.
I can't wait.
Like, 'SNL's' gonna be great."
Now there's a joy in the work
and a pleasure in the work.
And, like, there isn't
like a hard stop
of when it ends
'cause we're all just
gonna go spend time together
afterwards anyway.
No, we-- we got to,
you know, do all this
cool stuff.
We made some mistakes
along the way,
but that perspective, like,
look at what we get to do.
I mean, to be able
to sit here and reminisce.
- Yeah.
- And have it filmed.
And, like, you know,
tell the story.
Right?
Like, it's just...
Because right now,
the door is opening.
- Like, we get to have this
filmed so that now we can...
- It's cool.
...hopefully tell this story
and make a difference
in somebody else's world.
You know?
( chatter )
Michael:
You said to me, "I want
to have Eddie Benjamin
be a part of this
because he's the next
generation.
And I wish I had a mentor."
Love it.
( playing guitar )
βͺ Everybody's laughing
in my mind βͺ
βͺ Rumors spreading
'bout this other guy βͺ
βͺ Do you do what you did
when you did with me? βͺ
βͺ Does he love you
the way I can? βͺ
βͺ Did you forget all the plans
that you made with me? βͺ
βͺ 'Cause, baby, I didn't βͺ
Both:
βͺ That should be me
holding your hand βͺ
βͺ That should be be
making you laugh βͺ
βͺ That should be me,
this is so sad βͺ
βͺ That should be me,
that should be me βͺ
βͺ That should be me
feelin' your kiss βͺ
βͺ That should be me
buying you gifts βͺ
βͺ This is so wrong,
I can't go on βͺ
βͺ Till you believe βͺ
βͺ That that should be me... βͺ
How did you deal
with kind of this
immense pressure
from such a young age?
Well, I just say that
I didn't handle it
very well for a while.
I think I let the, you know,
insecurities and the fears
of, um-- kind of win
in a sense, of, like, I--
I felt like everyone
wanted to have control
over my life.
I felt like there was so many
people who wanted me to be--
so I rebelled against that,
and I wanted to go
the complete opposite way.
How did you deal
with, like, kind of
the opinions
and the differences
in creative choices?
There's gonna people
who come around
who just want to take,
take, take, take, take.
And if you're looking
at the people who
are just taking--
you know and you're--
you don't want to listen
to their opinion.
You gotta listen to the people
who are feeding into your life,
and giving you, you know--
and I just--
I would just encourage you
to listen to those people and--
because you have
so much ahead of you, bro.
Like, I'm so excited
to watch your journey.
I'm so excited to watch you
blossom into this incredible
artist.
βͺ That should be me βͺ
βͺ You said you
needed a little time
from my mistakes βͺ
βͺ It's funny
how you used that time
to have me replaced... βͺ
Yeah.
βͺ Do you think
that I wouldn't see you
out at the movies? βͺ
βͺ What are you doin'
to me? βͺ
βͺ You're taking him
where we used to go βͺ
Both:
βͺ Now, if you're tryin'
to break my heart βͺ
βͺ It's working
'cause you know βͺ
βͺ That should be me
feeling your kiss βͺ
Both:
βͺ That should be me
making you laugh... βͺ
- That's good.
- βͺ That should be me,
this is so sad βͺ
βͺ That should be me,
that should be me βͺ
βͺ That should be me
feelin' your kiss βͺ
βͺ That should be
buying you gifts βͺ
βͺ This is so wrong,
I can't go on βͺ
βͺ Till you believe βͺ
βͺ That that should be me βͺ
That was beautiful, man.
- Thank you.
- Good job.
You, too.
Michael:
At 26, you are really
in a position
where you can give a ton
of powerful advice.
Why are you choosing
to go and do things like that?
It becomes an actual
honor and a privilege
to help people.
There's such a fulfillment
there.
βͺ Oh, God βͺ
βͺ Runnin' to the altar
like a track star... βͺ
I want to show the good stuff.
I want to show the bad stuff.
And right now happens to be
a really special, good season.
βͺ But the way that we love
in the night gave me life βͺ
βͺ Baby,
I can't explain... βͺ
I don't feel like
we've ever arrived.
I don't feel
like I'm finally there.
I just feel like
I want this to last.
I want this to--
you know, I don't know
what's gonna come next.
All:
Quack, quack, quack, ooh!
If I can use this gift
to help people,
that's just want
I want to do.
Even the story of Jesus,
he came to serve.
He gave us a template
of what true fulfillment
looks like,
and I'm really excited
to share this with people.
βͺ Oh, God βͺ
βͺ Running to the altar
like a track star βͺ
βͺ Can't wait another second,
oh, God βͺ
βͺ Running to the altar
like a track star... βͺ
Man, I'm just so grateful
that you're helping me
tell this story.
- No, you crushed it.
- This is a wild, wild ride,
and I'm happy to be
doing it with you guys.
Can't wait to watch
this footage in ten years.
- Right?
- ( laughter )
Oh, damn!
Let's go!
βͺ Running to the altar
like a track star βͺ
βͺ Can't wait another second βͺ
βͺ 'Cause the way you hold me,
hold me, hold me, hold me βͺ
βͺ Feel so holy βͺ
I'd like
to readdress the donut.
- Oh, God.
- That donut was fine.
- Do not.
- I already-- I put them there.
- That's disgusting.
- You are a gross mother--
( muffled )
I put them there.
It doesn't matter who put
them in the garbage.
It didn't touch anything.
It is a disgusting trash can
in Madison Square Garden.
- I'm sorry.
- The box wasn't even in--
Guys, we're in the middle
of COVID and you're still
gonna fight with me?
- He just left it there.
- It's in a rogue hallway.
It's literally--
what's the difference?
It was sitting
on the top layer in a box.
None of this--
this is an edge that's up.
Edge. Everything's
in the box, still.
If it was in the garbage,
I could see where that
would be a problem.
But we can clearly see
these donuts--
Look at this-- look at this
tattered side.
How do you know nothing slid
down, went back up.
You don't know.
Grow up, Allison.
Grow up? You're the one
eating donuts from the garbage.
I put them there!
I don't care.
He's out.
He left. He's gone.
Just lay down.
Enjoy yourself.
Lay down. You have a lot.
You have a good life.
There's no reason for you
to be acting like this.
A great life, a great family.
I kept it all these years.
I got this in the trash.
Eat it.
This is the exact same donut
