00:00I'm going to give random people hundreds of thousands of dollars.
00:03Is this for real?
00:04What? For real? Oh my god.
00:07Here's how. This is me. And I'm pretending to be a news reporter.
00:11And I emailed a bunch of random people asking if my news station could interview them.
00:15Little do they know this interview isn't real and I'm going to give them tons of money.
00:19We don't have graphics so enjoy this.
00:21Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:23Psyche!
00:24Hello and welcome to MBSND News. This is my co-anchor Chris.
00:28And we just wanted to interview about the, you know, recent pandemic and see how you're doing.
00:32Right as the economy started tanking like my job laid off a third of the company in like one day.
00:37And it was out of nowhere.
00:39We were about to close on our first house as a family.
00:42Everything in our future became like immediately uncertain.
00:45Okay, that's a lot to take in.
00:47We are just trying to help people and make their lives a little better.
00:50So we'd like to give you $10,000 to make everything going on a little bit easier for you.
00:55What? For real?
00:57Yeah, actually our news viewership has gone up and we've been pretty fortunate.
01:01So we wanted to give back to some people.
01:03No, dude, I never thought I'd be on Mr. Beast's show.
01:07Oh wait, you know who we are?
01:08Oh my gosh.
01:09Ah, come on.
01:09I mean, MBSND, I'm sorry.
01:12No, it's fine.
01:12You know, maybe times are hard.
01:13Maybe you had to go pick up a job at MBSND, you know?
01:17I guess we don't need the globe anymore.
01:19Thank you so much, guys.
01:19That's super, super helpful.
01:21Like for real, genuinely, thank you.
01:23Yeah, we'll get you the money after the interview.
01:25Thanks for calling in.
01:26Oh my gosh.
01:26Thank you so much, guys.
01:27No problem.
01:28Later.
01:28And now it's time for the next interview.
01:30How's it going?
01:31Fine, and yourself?
01:32Good.
01:32So we're WMSND.
01:35Could you tell us how like, you know, the global pandemic going on has affected you?
01:39I never thought that the whole world would just stop.
01:42I mean, I live in New York City.
01:44So, you know, at the beginning, I kind of was essential at my job.
01:47And at the end, I wasn't.
01:49You've been laid off recently?
01:50Yeah, my last day of work was the 20th.
01:53It hurts to hear all this.
01:55So here at WSMND, we want to give you $10,000 to try to make your life a little bit easier.
02:01That's just crazy.
02:03That's just insane.
02:04Oh, you're about to make me cry.
02:06Okay.
02:06Trying to make a decision whether to take a job, you might get sick.
02:11Hopefully, the $10,000 makes it where you don't have to pick, you know, a job that can
02:15potentially get you sick.
02:17Rent will be paid.
02:18Maybe I can get a good night's sleep tonight and I can pay it forward like you guys did to me.
02:23I'm glad MBWSN has been able to help you.
02:26Awesome.
02:27No problem.
02:28I'll see you later.
02:29Bye.
02:29All right, Jimmy.
02:29I think it's time for our next interview.
02:33All right, next one.
02:34He's waiting in the lobby.
02:35I'm going to admit him and start the interview.
02:37This is my co-anchor, Chris.
02:38And we just wanted to interview about the, you know, recent pandemic and see how you're doing.
02:43It was really scary for me.
02:45I got hit hard financially because like I was in the hospital for four days and not working
02:50right now.
02:51You actually got the virus?
02:53I got the virus.
02:54Wow.
02:54Yeah.
02:55So you were forlorn from your job.
02:56You then got the virus and now you're stuck with medical bills?
03:00$15,000 is what I've heard so far.
03:02Obviously, like not working and living in San Francisco.
03:05Like, I'm like, where am I going to find that?
03:07Yeah.
03:08Yeah.
03:08Hold up.
03:10One second, sir.
03:10I got to talk to my news anchor.
03:11We got to take care of this.
03:13Oh, okay.
03:13Hey.
03:13So we here at MBSNDCGDBYNews would like to give you $15,000 to cover your hospital bills.
03:20Also, I'm not a real news anchor.
03:22This is fake.
03:23Everything is fake here.
03:24We just like giving away money.
03:25You guys helping like this means a lot.
03:28Thank you guys so much.
03:29I really appreciate it.
03:30No problem.
03:31I hope you have a good day, man.
03:32How do you get on with your day after great news like this?
03:36I hope you guys have been enjoying the news today.
03:37Now, before we get into our next interview, my anchor Chandler has a cool stat.
03:41There are more fake flamingos in the world than there are real.
03:44What a shame.
03:45All right, let's jump right into the next interview.
03:47Hello, and welcome to WMBSNDC News.
03:50How are you doing, sir?
03:51I'm doing all right, as best as can be in these crazy times, but making the best of it, I suppose.
03:57We've got some intel that you've fallen on rough times.
03:59Could you tell us a little bit about what's going on in your life?
04:02Went to school all year, was two weeks away from my state board license, about to get a job,
04:07and all of this happened.
04:09So school debt, no money coming in, no possible job opportunity, blew through all my savings.
04:15It sounds like a lot has not been going your way recently, and would you say,
04:19if we were to, you know, give you $10,000, that would make your life a little bit better?
04:25Well, yes, that would make life a lot easier right now,
04:28and put this huge smile on my face.
04:29I don't even know what to say.
04:30We're actually not even a real news station.
04:32I'm just an idiot.
04:33I'm not, though.
04:33But the money is real, though.
04:34This is the most amazing thing I've heard.
04:36Thank you for coming out to this interview.
04:38I'm glad we could help you.
04:39I mean, you guys, really, thank you so much.
04:41That's, it's epic.
04:42That's, it's life-changing.
04:45No problem.
04:45Thank you for coming out.
04:46We appreciate you here at WMVS-CND News.
04:49We are now college professors.
04:51Our college, Blasch University, is doing a comprehensive,
04:54in-depth study to see how the pandemic is affecting people,
04:56and also giving away a bunch of money.
04:59How's the recent pandemic affected you?
05:02I am out of work.
05:03As soon as they heard about it, we were shut down.
05:06So I rely on mostly family.
05:09How does that make Blasch University feel?
05:11All right.
05:11So we here at Blasch University want to help you out.
05:14How does $5,000 sound?
05:15Do you think that would help alleviate some stress from your life?
05:18$5,000.
05:19Helped a lot.
05:20I can pay a lot of bills.
05:23We're glad we could help you.
05:24I'm glad you could help me.
05:25I'm glad.
05:25Everybody's glad.
05:26Yes.
05:27Everyone's glad.
05:28It's a very emotional moment.
05:30Thank you for participating in our YouTube video.
05:32You had no idea what was going on.
05:35I was totally shocked.
05:36Got him.
05:39So here's the thing.
05:39This woman right here, Sarah, is Chris's sister.
05:42And Chris's sister helps train other teachers.
05:44So she teaches teachers how to be teachers.
05:47And we got Sarah's permission to jump in one of her calls
05:49and give all the teachers she's teaching today money.
05:52Hello, everybody.
05:53Can you guys hear us?
05:54Hey.
05:54What's it like for you guys with all this pandemic going on?
05:58I still go in every day and try to make some contact with students.
06:01But it's just been different.
06:02We appreciate what you guys are doing.
06:04So we want to give each one of you $1,000.
06:05Oh my God.
06:08Oh my God.
06:11Well, that was really all.
06:12We can let you guys go back to whatever you're doing.
06:14We just wanted to give you money.
06:17I need y'all to work on your math.
06:19Mind you.
06:21They're making us do homework.
06:23I'm leaving.
06:23Bye.
06:26Hello.
06:27Everything going good?
06:28It's going OK.
06:29Awesome.
06:29We're professors at Blast University.
06:32And we're just doing a study real quick.
06:33So Chris, I'll let you take it away.
06:35We just wanted to see how the recent events have affected people.
06:38How have you been finding yourself with all these things going on?
06:41My second job is closed.
06:44My full-time job, hours are reduced bad.
06:46I had to go online with school.
06:48So what, you're working two jobs and going to school at the same time?
06:52Yes.
06:53We here at Blast University would like to give you $5,000
06:56to help make things a little bit easier on you.
06:58Are you serious?
06:59We are very serious.
07:00Yes, ma'am.
07:02I don't know what to say except thank you.
07:04You're very welcome.
07:05You will make things a lot easier on me.
07:07And I really do appreciate it.
07:09Wow, I'm kind of speechless.
07:10Well, thank you for participating.
07:12We'll take care of sending you the money.
07:13And I'll talk to you later.
07:14Thank you.
07:15No problem.
07:15Bye.
07:16That went very well.
07:16We should be actual college professors.
07:18All right, next set.
07:19I now work for a real estate company.
07:21I thought we were construction guys.
07:23Oh.
07:24I work for a construction company.
07:25And this construction company is building lots of homes.
07:28So we're curious if people are still going to buy them.
07:30And we also want to give away money.
07:31Hey, how's it going?
07:34Uh, going very well.
07:35How are you?
07:35Good.
07:36Sorry.
07:37I'm a CEO and founder of a construction company.
07:39C-R-A-L-L.
07:41We just build buildings and stuff like that for real estate.
07:43Do you have time for a quick survey?
07:45Yeah, I guess so.
07:46Financially and everything, things been good?
07:48Or has the pandemic affected you negatively?
07:51The pandemic has definitely affected us negatively.
07:53I got laid off from my job.
07:55Oh, you got laid off?
07:57My whole team just kind of got it.
07:58Pick a number between 1 and 10.
08:009.
08:01Do you think $9,000 will help make your life better?
08:03Yeah, I think $9,000 would be amazing.
08:05Well then, right after this call, I'm going to wire you $9,000
08:07to try to make things a little less stressful for you.
08:11Thank you.
08:12Yeah, I'm not actually a real estate owner.
08:15I make dumb YouTube videos.
08:16A little beside myself, but I just thank you.
08:18Thank you so much.
08:19All right, have a good day, guys.
08:20See you guys.
08:21Bye-bye.
08:22Can you hear me?
08:23Hello.
08:24What?
08:26Do you know who I am?
08:27Mr. Beast.
08:27Oh, okay.
08:28That kind of blows my cover.
08:29Since you know who we are, I might as well just cut to the chase.
08:32Yeah, we're not actually a construction company.
08:34We're actually just giving people money.
08:35Actually, we jumped ahead.
08:37I need to ask, how's the pandemic affected you?
08:39Right now, we're out of leave due to the pandemic,
08:42so it affected me and my kids a lot.
08:44What's two times four?
08:45Eight.
08:46Is that right?
08:47Eight it is.
08:47$8,000, there we go.
08:49Oh my God, I'm speechless right now.
08:51I really am, because I follow you guys on YouTube and stuff,
08:55and I so love y'all.
08:57Thank you.
08:58We're going to let you go.
08:59Thank you for coming on.
09:00All right, thank you.
09:01Okay, well, thank gosh.
09:03That was great.
09:03We called her.
09:04In between that clip you just watched and this one,
09:06me and Chris went to law school, and we are now practicing lawyers.
09:09You look like you want to sell me a cure to something I don't have.
09:12Even though we're lawyers now, things are still the same.
09:14We're giving away money.
09:15Hello, welcome to the call.
09:16How are you doing?
09:17Hey, I'm fine.
09:18How are you doing?
09:19Good.
09:19Would you say you like money?
09:22I love money.
09:23Perfect.
09:23All right, your settlement has been figured out, $5,000.
09:26I know this is very confusing, but we're going to send you $5,000,
09:29because we here at Bailey Bailey feel like no one should ever get laid off.
09:33What?
09:35What?
09:36Listen, I have a 17-month-old son that I take care of.
09:40Really?
09:41Oh, wow.
09:41Oh, my gosh.
09:42My little kinky, he's going to get everything.
09:45Oh, my gosh.
09:46That's really the gist of it.
09:47We just wanted to give you some money.
09:49Jimmy and Bailey from Bailey and Bailey.
09:51Yes.
09:52Thank you.
09:52I'm just going to say they are the best people in the world.
09:55We need to take this next client very serious, okay?
09:59Very, very serious.
09:59Here, I'll put my files away.
10:02Thank you.
10:02My name is Jimmy, and this is my partner.
10:04His name is also Jimmy.
10:05We work at J&J Law Firm.
10:07Could you tell us in the last few months how you've been affected financially?
10:11Well, I haven't worked since March the 10th.
10:15She's laid off.
10:16I think that's a wrong due settlement.
10:18I think she should settle for around $5,000, but instead of the company, we should just pay it.
10:24Okay, because that's logical.
10:25Okay, we want to give you $5,000.
10:28Is this for real?
10:29Yeah, I think that's real.
10:32Okay.
10:33Jokes aside, after this call, we're going to wire you $5,000 to make your life better.
10:37I haven't had a car since last August.
10:40I think I might be able to buy me a car.
10:43Really?
10:44Is this for real?
10:45It's real.
10:46Yeah, it is for real, for real.
10:47I promise.
10:48Thank y'all.
10:49Yes, ma'am.
10:49No problem.
10:50I'm kind of handsome too.
10:52Thank you.
10:52Thank you.
10:54Me and Chris are now chefs.
10:56Pizza pasta.
10:57What's our restaurant, McDonald's?
10:58Or that's actually a restaurant.
11:00Welcome to Slammy's.
11:01What's your order?
11:02Oh, we're joining.
11:03We joined the call by hitting the desk.
11:05Hello.
11:05Can you hear us, sir?
11:06Yes, sir.
11:07How's your day going?
11:07It's going well.
11:08How about yourself?
11:09Has this pandemic affected you financially?
11:12Yes, it has.
11:13In what way?
11:13Besides food, a little bit of food every now and again.
11:17Paying my rent, making it a problem.
11:19Let me, here, let me meet with my colleague.
11:21Hold on.
11:21What do you think Slammy's should give him?
11:24I think Slammy's should give him.
11:29So anyway, sir, I'll cut right to the chase.
11:31We want to give you $5,000 to help make your life better.
11:34Oh man, that'd be great, man.
11:35For real.
11:36Yeah, I just, I hope you have a good day, man.
11:38I greatly appreciate you, brother.
11:39I fired the other chef and this is my new companion.
11:41Hello.
11:42Don't drop everything.
11:43What'd you say?
11:44And in case you're wondering, the mess is still on the floor.
11:46All right, this is kind of hard.
11:47So we're just going to give you money.
11:49You want $5,000?
11:50Oh, stop.
11:52Oh my God.
11:52Are you joking?
11:53We do want to help you and give you $5,000.
11:55Oh my God.
11:56Right now, I'm not receiving any financial assistance for school.
12:00I'm without a job because I was let go last August.
12:03Yeah, man.
12:04And that's why we're doing this.
12:05Did you think we were chefs?
12:07Yeah, I mean, well, actually when he ate the raw pasta, I was like, I don't know.
12:15Yeah.
12:15No, we're not actually chefs.
12:17All right, thanks for coming out, man.
12:18I'll catch you later.
12:19See you.
12:19Thank you.
12:20I thought you guys were chefs until you ate the raw pasta.
12:23Yeah, I figured that would give it away.
12:27These next few people think we're talking to them for our documentary we're making on the pandemic.
12:32But we're just going to give them money.
12:33This is my partner here, Chandler.
12:35We're currently working on a documentary and we're just interviewing some people for it.
12:38What's one of the first things you want to ask them?
12:40Well, how has the pandemic affected you?
12:42It's really stressful because I'm not working.
12:46Not working?
12:47Did you get laid off?
12:48I have a stage four liver cirrhosis.
12:50Oh.
12:51How about this?
12:52If we give you $10,000, do you think that would take some stress out of your life?
12:56Yes.
12:57All right.
12:57Well, then let's do it.
12:59We're not actually filming a documentary.
13:00I'm just a YouTuber that gives away money.
13:02This is a $2 shirt.
13:05It just helped me a lot because I'm not able to go to work.
13:08I didn't have to be by myself.
13:10It's just stressful not to have nobody in your corner.
13:14I'm glad we were able to give the money to you, though, because it does seem like you need it.
13:18And thank you.
13:18Thank you for coming on.
13:19Oh, gosh.
13:20Wow.
13:20That was a lot.
13:21We cut off our camera.
13:22His is still on.
13:24Oh, my gosh.
13:24He's bawling.
13:25That last clip was for Chandler's documentary.
13:27Now, what's your documentary about?
13:29The man with two fedoras.
13:30I'd watch.
13:32And now, one fedora.
13:34I'm going to pick that up real quick.
13:38We're going to join.
13:38I'm going to let you take the lead.
13:39It's your documentary.
13:40All right.
13:41Hello.
13:41How's it going?
13:43Oh, wow.
13:45Hi.
13:45What?
13:46Do you recognize us?
13:47Yeah, you're Mr. Beast.
13:48Yeah.
13:49Do you know my name?
13:50If I'm not mistaken, Chris.
13:51Oh, okay.
13:52You know his name?
13:56Shh.
13:58Chandler exists.
13:59Everyone started laughing when Chandler walks in.
14:02Someone told me that you don't have a car and that you got laid off, right?
14:07Yeah.
14:08We can't have that.
14:09At the moment, we're not currently Mr. Beast.
14:11We're actually a documentary crew.
14:12And Chris is filming a documentary.
14:13And I don't feel like going along with this bit.
14:15You know what?
14:15How about this?
14:16You want $10,000?
14:19Actually, how about I digress a little bit?
14:22We've spent almost $200,000.
14:24But I want to give her more money.
14:25Okay.
14:26How about $15,000?
14:28Whatever you offer, I'm grateful for.
