0:07Hey, it's Matt with MSN.CA. We got some of the guys here from One Direction. How you guys doing? Very well, thank you. Yeah, really good. Good to see you in our Fairland. Thank you. Not your first time in Canada, obviously, but what do you love about our country? Well, last time we were here, it was absolutely mental and we did the Mooch Music Show and there's all the people outside and stuff like the sheets, the streets closing down. First of all, the sheeps. The sheeps, the letters are sheeping. It was our first experience of seeing a group of people away from home. Obviously, we're not from here. So for us to come over and kind of get that kind of reaction was amazing. Does it ever get tiring? I think that's not so much that side of it, but kind of the work. We work really hard and we're very busy all the time. So that gets tiring, but the fans of they never get tiring. It's always fun. One of the street teams here in Toronto took this record, which is number one in Canada right now,
0:53and donated all of it to Sick Kids, which is really cool. So they bought all the copies of the Queen Street H&V here in Toronto and then gave it to Sick Kids. So what are your thoughts on that? I think that's amazing. I think that's brilliant. And to know that our album could raise some money for Sick Kids, that's really good feeling. I feel like I've done something good now. How do you guys choose who sings what parts? Do you all sing the songs and say, oh, you know what, he sounds best there? Or how do you decide this is where I'm going to sing? I think pretty much. Yeah, I think we kind of... A lot of these down to producers. We sing loads of bits and then see what fits best for the song and what kind of works in the whole thing. How do you guys choose the songs? Well, we just kind of what we like really I suppose. We kind of knew what we wanted early on sort of stuff,
1:39and we wanted to go for this more rocky sound, and then loads of songs came in. And they were amazing. So we recorded over 80 songs for the album, and we had to choose how many was it, 12 or 13? 12. 12 tracks out of 80. So it was a really, really tough choice. Some of the tracks that I like may not have made the album and stuff, and so some of the tracks that you like may not have made the album. So it's kind of just that sort of choice. That's the most difficult part of it, I think, choosing the songs out of the ones that, because you've heard them so much, it's like, you know, which ones do we want now? MSN.C.S fans across Canada submit their wildest Truth or Dares to the boys in one directions, and we'll send them an autograph prize pack, and now you boys get to play this Truth or Dare game. Liam, let's start with you. Truth or Dare? I'm going to go with... Dare. Do you want to ask your question?
2:25I'm going to ask it too. How are you? OK, so... The Dare is... Liam Payne, you must make up a short rap about the person on your left. OK, can I go with Beatbox? Can you be... Harry Styles, I'm going to go for... From whom? I'm going to ask Zane. All right, Zane? Dare, try to touch your nose with your tongue. I can do that. There we go. Got it covered.
3:15No. All right, Zane, Truth or Dare? I'll go for a Dare. This guy's involved in this over here. He's involved. He doesn't really know us. Come on in. He doesn't know what he's poured himself into now. Right then. I dare you to switch as many pieces of clothing with the person to your right. He's going to have to swap clothes. Yeah. OK, I'm going to do this. Go on Zane, you've got clothes. I'll wear the hat. Do you want to swap t-shirts? Sure. OK. Show it. Wow! Wow, these guys covered in tape. See, they're wearing a t-shirt. They're just smart. I don't know if I can put that one on.
4:01It's not good. Zane, who do you want to do this to? I'll do this to Harry. It's going to be Truth or Dare? It's going to be a Dare. And your Dare is to do an impression of someone in the group. OK. OK, who do you want? Zane. What's happening? That was good. Is that a good impression of you? That's the only impression of you. OK, hello. Are you OK? As long as I never say it's on the phone. I'm late. Oh. Oh, sorry. You want to get him back? Do you want to Harry? So basically, like...
4:50I went to the shop and bought a packet of crisps. And there was this guy who tried to steal my crisps. So I ran away. Yeah. I talked really slow. It's a really exciting story, but I make it really more. And I'll look somewhere else, but I'm telling it as well. So you lose interest even more in what I'm saying. And they're like, text halfway through the story. And then you've just lost forever. And then when I'm texting, I just won't look up at you. When you talk to me at all, I'll just keep texting. And then I'm like, what? All right, so there's one card left. OK. Harry's got it. Who's it from? OK, I'm going to steal this. Are you going to take a minute? OK. I'm going to ask you... Haley hates his question. OK. And it's a dare. All right. Can you continually talk for as long as you can, open bracket within the span of a single
5:38breath or before taking another breath close bracket? And we're going to make it a subject. Yeah. All right. You've got to talk for as long as you can about sheep. Sheeps are wonderful creatures. They like to graze on grass. Cows like grass too. They are fed lots of antibiotics that you should not be eating because it's very, very bad for your health. Well, that was not very long at all. It's very hard to talk. Yeah. So that's it. That's it. Yeah. That's crazy. Very environmentally friendly. Rant, but that's fine. It's what I need to like a science team. Yeah. That's what I do. I'm trying to teach the youth, you know. Thank you.
