Transcript

00:00There were tons of moments when I was younger where I would cry.

00:02Everyone tells me it's not realistic.

00:04At the end of the day, I just loved it.

00:05I loved making videos, I loved entertaining people.

00:08All four or five that watched it back then.

00:12With 99,000 subscribers, I'll put 400 million.

00:15We're going to see if the highest jumper in the world

00:17can jump higher than a tiger.

00:18World of record!

00:19Can he do it?

00:24You're levitating!

00:25My schedule is literally playing down to a minute.

00:27I got to get there and go and do the next thing,

00:28and the next thing, and the next thing, and the next thing,

00:30and the next thing.

00:30We're on set of one of Jimmy's most expensive videos.

00:33He's giving away this private jet that's worth over $2 million.

00:37If he goes another 100 days, I'll give him half a million dollars.

00:40No.

00:41Are you doing another 100 days,

00:42or do you want to go hang out with your family?

00:45It was a miracle if a day was less than 15 hours.

00:48Jimmy is already sprinting to his next video.

00:51You are Freeman!

00:52We're in a thumbnail shoot.

00:54They're spending hours getting everything set up.

00:56How much money do you think all the gear here is worth?

00:59It's definitely worth $5 million.

01:00How many cameras have you used on a shoot?

01:02We were at about 350 individual cameras.

01:05Welcome to Survivor! Welcome to Fiji!

01:08Jeff's been doing Survivor as long as I've been alive.

01:10They've taken this genre and just...

01:14Steroid.

01:15When he's like finally a break.

01:17His eyes have been shut for like 30 seconds.

01:19He's like taking a nap.

01:34We're going to hit 400 million soon, Jon.

01:36We're 99,000 subscribers off of 400 million.

01:39Did you already tweet or...?

01:40Yeah, tell me what you think of that.

01:42A decade ago before I blew up, everyone in my life told me I was too obsessed.

01:45I literally told my mom I'd rather be homeless than do anything else.

01:49When I first said I wanted to be a YouTuber, you know, we'd make $20,000 in a month.

01:53And the next month I'd be like, well, we're going to spend $20,000 on videos.

01:56My mom, um, she would cry.

01:59We had so many conversations where she would literally bawl her eyes out crying.

02:02And I didn't realize it at the time, but my mom lost everything in 2008 because they were over leveraged.

02:06The worst financial crisis in modern times.

02:10Rolling home prices rising unemployment.

02:12This was a very bad day.

02:14It's official. We are in a recession.

02:15It's like her PTSD kicking in and she didn't want me to go bankrupt.

02:19Those thoughts never even once crossed my mind.

02:21Like, why would I set money aside to do like other YouTube videos?

02:24And she's like, no, so you don't go bankrupt like I did.

02:27Even to the point where one time she actually took $100,000 and hid it from me in a different

02:32account in my name.

02:33She didn't steal the money because she was like, that way at least if Jimmy goes bankrupt,

02:36he has $100,000 and he's not like homeless.

02:39Don't you owe a lot of money in your house?

02:40Yes, so I wanted to give you a check that of you pay for it.

02:44No, I can't, I can't take it. I swear I cannot take it.

02:48So you use me for views and I get to pay off my mortgage?

02:51Mm-hmm. I think it works out pretty well.

02:53What an entrepreneur.

02:57She was just like, I'm going to stop like crying and doubting you.

03:00And like, if you want to reinvest and go hard, go for it.

03:03She's going to get all emotional.

03:06Yeah.

03:08I met Jimmy when I think we were both about eight years old.

03:12Who is Tyler Conklin?

03:14We played baseball together in Little League.

03:17He probably told you that he hit a home run off me.

03:19Uh, okay.

03:20Well, never mind.

03:20Delete that footage.

03:21Uh, in Little League.

03:23I'm kidding.

03:23Put that in whoever's editing.

03:25But put it in the part where I told you to delete it because it'll be funny.

03:26But, uh, yeah, in 11, we played Little League.

03:29Then he ended up coming to my school.

03:31As I started doing videos, I started doing like these videos where we copied Dude Perfect.

03:35And eventually, as I started scaling up, I didn't know how to hire.

03:39So what did I do?

03:40I called all my friends from high school and I'm like, yo, you want to help me make videos?

03:44And Tyler's one of the people I called.

03:45And he started off as like kind of a janitor cleaning for like, whatever, eight bucks an

03:49hour when I first started, him and Chandler, which is funny.

03:52My two janitors, one is now my lead director that writes everything.

03:55And the other is one of my co-hosts, Chandler.

03:57So I did a good job at hiring janitors back in that day.

04:00There were people in my grade that would put on his YouTube videos and they would laugh at

04:04him and be like, look at this awkward dude filming something.

04:07Because kids are kind of mean and no one was sitting next to him.

04:09He would go play catch and no one would want to play catch with him.

04:12He was very socially awkward.

04:13It's hard to remember, but being a YouTuber was weird back then.

04:16Good times.

04:17By good times, I mean horrible times.

04:19Yeah, it was so cringe.

04:20I hate it.

04:21I just felt like an outcast.

04:23There were tons of moments when I was younger where I would cry.

04:25But I even had a video where I was like, I think I should probably quit YouTube.

04:28Everyone tells me it's not realistic.

04:30No one understands.

04:31But at the end of the day, I just loved it.

04:34And I loved making videos.

04:35I loved entertaining people.

04:36All four or five that watched it back then.

04:39About $10,000.

04:40Every one of these 456 people survives the longest, wins $456,000.

04:45I recreated Willy Wonka's taco factory in real life.

04:49We just hit 100 million subscribers.

04:51It's $1,000,000.

04:52And now I literally right now have to go give away $5,000,000.

04:56I'll see you there.

04:57And competing for this money are 100 of the strongest people on the planet.

05:02Versus 100 of the smartest people on earth.

05:05When Beast Games first started, the thought of doing something on television was cool.

05:08Like in season one, we are about to play Captain Broad.

05:13If you walked away a millionaire, it would change your life dramatically.

05:16I was like, I want to see that through.

05:18Let's do that.

05:19This is the most important day of our entire season.

05:22This is the make or break as to whether somebody watches our whole show or leaves after episode three.

05:28Turn on the lights.

05:30We're about to play Captain Broad.

05:32People love what we do on YouTube.

05:34So we want to do it bigger.

05:35We want to do it different because it's six hours of content, not a normal 30-minute video.

05:37But there are still some intrinsic things about our YouTube videos people love.

05:40Here we go.

05:41Start the money counter.

05:43Let's see if any of them take a bribe.

05:45Our goal was to stick to our roots.

05:47And our roots is virality.

05:49Doing the biggest and best.

05:50Just say no to bribes.

05:52You got this, Hannah.

05:53That's a lot of money.

05:54Speeding up.

05:55Here we go.

05:56Your word, your heart is not for sale.

06:02He took it.

06:08Everyone's coming down from the tower and that has to be one of the most awkward rides down because

06:13JT is there and screwed over his team, took the $1 million bribe.

06:18These games doesn't compare to any traditional kind of TV shows and we built it from the ground up.

06:24A record-breaking number of a thousand players is currently stampeding this arena.

06:29Season one was something new for everyone.

06:32The first conversation was Jimmy called me and he said,

06:34I want to film a show with a lot of people and a lot of money.

06:38Maybe it's like 10 episodes and each episode is super different.

06:42But he was referring to it being on a YouTube video.

06:44And then it turned into a TV show.

06:46And shout out to Mike Cruz.

06:48He had a lot of ins with television people.

06:51Me and Mike flew to LA and started pitching.

06:55And that was when it was scary because one day I'm going to wake up,

06:58I'm going to walk on a set that's a television set.

07:02Very different than YouTube.

07:03And I'm going to have to find a way to get this done.

07:06And the beauty for us with Beast Games is we have a YouTube channel.

07:09And so I can do a game for $200,000 in one of my YouTube videos.

07:13And if it goes well and people really like it,

07:15then now I can feel more confident when I spend, you know,

07:18sometimes $10 million building a set on Beast Games,

07:21that the viewers will like it.

07:22This is level four.

07:25An example of this would be we had this video

07:27where we built an obstacle course over water

07:29with spinny things and bouncy balls.

07:31And one of my friends named Mac had to go through it to win $800,000.

07:34You built this in two weeks.

07:37One person competed on it and then you're going to tear it down.

07:41Absolutely.

07:41And then traditional TV,

07:43they'll run like 20 seasons on one set.

07:46Not us. That would be boring.

07:47Who wants to watch the same thing over and over again?

07:50Not me.

07:50I want to see a unique video every week.

07:52And people really, really loved it.

07:54The retention was really good by YouTube standards.

07:57So on episode three of Beast Games season two,

08:00we brought back an obstacle course, made it bigger.

08:03It's also over water, this obstacle course.

08:05And instead of one contestant, we had dozens of contestants,

08:08did tons of different games, the lighting, the coverage,

08:09everything was just way cooler. We had a way more expensive set.

08:12Back in the day, we recreated Squid Games.

08:14And ever since then, our sets have been getting bigger and bigger on YouTube.

08:17So we got a lot of reps under our belts of like,

08:19how do you structure the sets in a way where they feel realistic?

08:22You know, like the hallway they walk into, the shot selection,

08:25like even little things like cutting little holes for the cameras to shoot through.

08:28What height, what angles do you want?

08:29All these things we've field tested so many dozens of times on our YouTube channel,

08:33that now when we do the same thing, but way bigger on Beast Games,

08:36it's just not as scary because we've done it so much.

08:38You don't just go from never building anything to building massive cities like we do on Beast Games.

08:43And we got that confidence because we were able to do it on YouTube first.

08:46How do you manage your time between YouTube and Beast Games?

08:49It was a miracle if a day was less than 15 hours from me.

08:51My schedule is literally planned down to a minute.

08:54Everything has to be perfect because I just don't, you know,

08:56have much time I got to get there and go,

08:58and then I got to go do the next thing and the next thing and the next thing and the

09:00next thing.

09:01For example, our thumbnails, like our grid system that we lay out on the floor,

09:04we have stand-ins practice the photos before me.

09:06So in a couple of weeks, we have obstacle video coming out.

09:10This is one of our concepts for it, but we're shooting with Jimmy's body doubles.

09:14Doing our best we can to replicate the concept.

09:16My face gets edited out anyways, but I try to like get into it like I'm actually falling.

09:21I think that kind of helps with the product.

09:23I'm here 9 to 5 Monday to Friday as of right now.

09:26Taking thumbnail photos.

09:27Yeah, yeah.

09:289 to 5.

09:29Yeah.

09:29You ready?

09:30Yep.

09:30All right, rolling.

09:31We're right now in a thumbnail tube.

09:34They're spending hours getting everything set up so that when Jimmy comes in,

09:38he's just ready to go.

09:39And so I can just go boom, boom, boom, boom, take the photos and get out because

09:42I can't waste time, like five minutes.

09:45I can't waste it.

09:46Right now, they're setting up and telling everyone where to stand on the grid.

09:50It is so precise.

09:52How important is the grid?

09:53Right now, we need all of our production assistants who aren't as familiar with the gear

09:57to be able to hit their spot right when they, you know, clearly know exactly where they're going.

10:02It lets us keep track of where all the lights are, where all the people are, where the camera is,

10:06and then we can save all of that info.

10:09And if we ever have anything that's like super similar concept,

10:11then we can just reset back to what we had before like that.

10:14So it's really helped our efficiency in terms of like shooting with Jimmy.

10:18It's a pretty goofy little job we have here.

10:22As much as I wish I wrapped everything before Beast Games,

10:24there were just so many main channel videos I still had to do.

10:29So this is day 100 of the Survive 100 Days in a Prison.

10:33Yeah.

10:33So you learned under Tyler.

10:35Now you're the creative director.

10:37What do you think is the biggest thing you take on to free up Jimmy's time?

10:41When we film some of these check in the 15 minutes.

10:42Yeah.

10:43All the bits are planned out and made sure they're ready.

10:45Keep Jimmy's time as cut short as possible.

10:47When he rolls up, he's able to just flow, flow, flow, show up, do it, get out.

10:51The guy with the tattoos,

10:53he spent three years in federal prison for running a Ponzi scheme.

10:56Obviously, I'm not going to have a murderer.

10:57And he wants to use the money if he wins to pay back restitution to his victims.

11:01So it's a good story.

11:02So how many cameras are in this prison set?

11:05I was about 28.

11:0628.

11:07And they're rolling 24-7.

11:09That's correct.

11:09Another example of us testing things on YouTube to bring over to Beast Games

11:13would just be our control rooms.

11:14Look at all this stuff behind me.

11:16It did not exist as of a few days ago.

11:18They've literally set up a custom control room.

11:20It is a huge undertaking.

11:21We also have this for every set in Beast Games.

11:24We have like 10 of these.

11:25And all of these sets have their own story producers that are taking notes.

11:28All right, you can see the control room is in a totally different place than usual.

11:31It's in this truck.

11:32In the control room, there's an army of story producers.

11:35They all have headsets on.

11:36They're listening to a hundred different people's mics.

11:38Are you listening to every single microphone on set?

11:41We have the capability to switch between them and kind of check on all the different players.

11:47And also listening to Jimmy and his boys.

11:49What do you do for a living?

11:50Just out of curiosity.

11:51Stay at home, dad.

11:52I play with blocks every day.

11:53So all of these are tags.

11:54You can sort by these different tags.

11:56So if I just want to see everything that we thought was funny, I could search by funny.

12:01As the episode goes on, we are going to add notes of things that stood out to us on camera,

12:06that we heard them say, we saw them do.

12:09Like 69, he was doing this like crazy dance, and I have a note of that,

12:13and I want to add that into his one sheet.

12:15You really don't know who's going to end up in the finale.

12:18And we want to know that they have a full, strong story from the very first episode.

12:22So we're filming just so much content at the same time, it's unfathomable.

12:26We're on set of one of Jimmy's most expensive videos.

12:30He's giving away this private jet that's worth over two million dollars

12:33to a guy that's been living, sleeping, and traveling on it for the past 99 days.

12:39So this control room is here for over a hundred days,

12:42filming him while we're shooting Beast Games.

12:44Today's day 100, so he's made it.

12:46And Jimmy's about to come in and gift it to him.

12:49I think it's going to get crazy.

12:50We're moments away from the video ending.

12:52And it's time for one final decision.

12:55Tariq, bring them out.

12:58Here's the thing, your family has no idea about the second offer.

13:02If he goes another 100 days, I'll give him half a million dollars.

13:05No.

13:06No?

13:06No.

13:07You want your husband back?

13:08Yeah.

13:09When you sign this line, this private jet will be in your name.

13:13This is a two and a half million dollar signature.

13:17Okay.

13:18It's officially yours.

13:19And my final question is, are you doing another 100 days

13:23or do you want to go hang out with your family?

13:25I think I'm going to choose that option right now.

13:27Go say hi, dude!

13:30Oh, that's so adorable.

13:32I don't know if I'm getting emotional because I'm also a dad.

13:35And being part of this documentary, I'm away from my daughter for about 30 days to film this.

13:39Seeing his daughter, his wife, all his friends and family here.

13:43It's emotional.

13:44Does this feeling ever get old or feel normal?

13:47This is fresh.

13:47This is crazy.

13:48Two, three.

13:49Look, it's the look on his face when he sees his family.

13:52It's always, it's always the best.

13:54How many times do you guys visit the set in these 100 day videos typically?

13:57I feel like 60 times.

13:58Yeah.

13:59Wow.

13:59At least.

13:59I've spent so much time with this guy.

14:01Like, I feel like I, like we're friends now.

14:03Look at this guy.

14:04Look, look how strong he is.

14:05All right, that's a wrap on the private jet video.

14:08Jimmy is already sprinting to his next one.

14:10We also filmed this whole video where we had cheetah versus the world's fastest car

14:13and all these other stunts going on.

14:15So we went to South Africa, raced the Formula E car.

14:18It's the fastest accelerating car in the world versus the cheetah.

14:21And we filmed tug of war with the world's strongest man versus a lion.

14:23We had like an elephant that came in and painted.

14:26What are you filming today?

14:27All right, we're going to see if the highest jumper in the world can jump higher than a tiger.

14:31Oh, wow.

14:32She's right behind you.

14:33Oh.

14:36She tried to touch you.

14:37This is going to be lit.

14:38You feel like YouTube videos like this are a testing grounds for beast games?

14:44100%.

14:44If you watch our ages one to 100 decide video,

14:47we had Jimmy go up and give $10,000 for anyone who's willing to eliminate their robe.

14:51We're now at $50,000 doing it.

14:53I'm sorry.

14:55Are you serious?

14:57That hit, we ran it for the show.

14:59One of the best moments of season one.

15:01Nine hundred.

15:02Oh my God.

15:03Oh my God.

15:04Wow.

15:05We got it back in season two.

15:06He took it.

15:10If you have an incubator for content ideas that most big shows do not have.

15:15Yeah.

15:15We try it and see how it feels and it feels right.

15:17We do it.

15:18Yeah.

15:18To get the tiger excited, that chicken leg right there is going to bounce up and down.

15:23Oh, she wants it.

15:25How hard is it to shoot with live animals?

15:27You can't really tell a tiger to jump.

15:28We have to use its bait.

15:29But like if it decides it's not hungry enough to jump, then it just doesn't jump.

15:32Yeah.

15:33All right, here comes the jump.

15:35We got to reload.

15:36She got it.

15:36This is a brutal part of working with animals.

15:38There's one point where we're sitting here calling him over and over and over as he's not answering,

15:42in hopes that he finally picks it up and shows up on set because we were filming in like 15

15:47minutes.

15:47Yo, it's on that.

15:48We got a shot of getting Jimmy here now for rehearsal.

15:51He had feastables meetings.

15:52He had to film with the main channel.

15:54He had to film vertical content.

15:55He's filming nonstop.

15:57We're just trying to get the tiger shot.

15:59The tiger keeps catching the meat and we're trying to get a good jump.

16:02When do you need me there?

16:03Those are a little tricky because on one hand, I totally understand.

16:06And on the other hand, we got a show to film.

16:08I thought there was a world he didn't show up to his own shoot and I got nervous.

16:12So we're like two hours behind.

16:14We're two hours behind.

16:15Denise, creative is the most important thing in the world.

16:18So we won't compromise on creative.

16:19We'll wait here until we get the best shot that we can get.

16:22We're struggling to get her to jump.

16:23So I'm going to try doing the pulley myself.

16:27You might have got it.

16:28Let's see.

16:29Is that the slow-mo?

16:30Yeah.

16:30Probably out here it is in slow-mo.

16:34That's way cooler than I thought.

16:35That's what I'm saying.

16:36These shots look sick.

16:37And then we'll be able to play the side by side of you both going up.

16:40How do you manage Jimmy's schedule?

16:42There's what Jimmy wants and needs.

16:43And then there's also what every single other person in the company wants and needs.

16:47I mean, I still have to do voiceover and work out before I leave.

16:50It's fascinating to see how content revolves around his schedule.

16:54I mean, Jimmy used to do these seven-day videos, like seven days in a coffin,

16:58which meant he could only do one video per week.

17:01But now, Jimmy has teams that set up different shoots from YouTube to Beast Games.

17:06He can film a ton more videos per week.

17:08So Jimmy can come into this segment, film it, and go out.

17:11It looks like they're about to wrap and you guys are going to take them too.

17:14This game is set next, and then we'll do that for about four or five hours.

17:17And then at 3 or 4 a.m., we'll do another man versus animal bit at a junkyard,

17:22where we have a bunch of Navy SEALs hiding from dogs that are supposed to find their Navy SEALs.

17:27This is his old world record.

17:2912 feet, 3 inches.

17:31And if he touches it, he's going to set a new one.

17:33This does not seem humanly possible.

17:36World of record.

17:37Can he do it?

17:39Oh my god.

17:43Oh, he crushed it!

17:45Yo, that was crazy!

17:47You just set the Guinness World record.

17:49Ah, I feel like I can go higher.

17:51Oh boy, thank gosh.

17:52This guy.

17:53You just jumped higher than any human on the planet.

17:55And the first thing he says is, I can go higher.

17:58What a freaking maniac.

18:01You're levitating.

18:02I'm not going to lie.

18:03Bro, you literally look like a superhero there.

18:06That is insane.

18:08Your knee is the same height as my head.

18:11Congratulations.

18:12You have officially beaten your previous world record with a new world record.

18:17And I'm sure you'll probably beat it again.

18:20Let's go to the next challenge.

18:21If there's one thing I've learned from Jimmy during our 45-day shoot together,

18:25is that he obsesses over every single detail.

18:27And that includes his domain name, mrbeast.store.

18:30And he's not alone.

18:31From speed.store to dudeperfect.store to our own created.store.

18:35So many creators trust .store domains, who is today's sponsor.

18:39So if you're a creator selling online or even planning to,

18:42don't go with a lengthy .com link that nobody could type or remember.

18:45Go with .store so it's easy to remember and people can trust that it's your official store.

18:50Plus, a website with a .store domain drives 2x higher visibility

18:53because the word store is in the link.

18:56So if you're a creator selling merch or anything digital or physical,

18:59use my link below to get a special deal to get your .store domain

19:03for only $1 for the first year before somebody else grabs it.

19:07Thanks again to our friends at .store domain for sponsoring this video.

19:10And now back to it.

19:11I'm doing 12, 15, sometimes.

19:13I mean, some of those days are 18, 20-hour days on Beast Games.

19:16And then I'm turning around and having to go shoot main channel content

19:19just to go back to the Beast Games grind.

19:21I mean, that was, that was a lot, man.

19:23Yeah.

19:23Alright, let's get on set.

19:24The limo is outside right now. The jet is ready. We're about to go to the island.

19:29Raise the wall!

19:32Eyes are on him the whole time. Eyes are on me.

19:35So I'm going to back up because I don't want to get hit by the cannon.

19:37Thumbs up if everybody understands that.

19:40Jimmy's going to say somewhere in the city is 10 cannonballs.

19:42I hit 10 cannonballs all around the city.

19:46The first 10 people to find a cannonball, shoot this cannon, goes to the island.

19:50We're going to decide who's competing for a $1.8 million island right here, right now.

19:56Go!

20:03Alright, we got our first finder.

20:06Johnny, try to get her shooting it ASAP so they hear it.

20:09She's about to fire the first cannon.

20:12Our drone team and the drone footage we have, at least for me, is one of the favorite parts of

20:18the show.

20:18It's the coolest looking stuff on television.

20:21What shot are you trying to get right now?

20:23One of them is going to be hovering right in front of the cannons.

20:25Yeah.

20:25Master wide and hopefully the cannonballs be like right under.

20:28And then we got FPV going all around.

20:30Okay, so we got somebody coming up with the cannonball now.

20:32So I'm trying to give a little low tracking shot as he heads it out.

20:35All up there is a drone racing league world champion.

20:38What I'm going to try to do is fly past the cannon as it fires.

20:46You guys have been flying these drones all show long.

20:48How much do these things cost?

20:50You can buy kind of what you see here for about 18 grand.

20:53Wow.

20:53But by the time you get everything you need to actually do an entire show's worth of production,

20:57you're probably looking at more like 25-ish per drone.

21:00Yeah.

21:00Round up, 30.

21:0130.

21:0130 all day.

21:02They're not cheap and for something that is not cheap, we put them in some precarious places.

21:06Like what?

21:06Over cannons.

21:07In front of cannonballs.

21:08You're the second person going to the island whenever you're ready.

21:12All right, take it off with the Mavic.

21:14He's going to shoot it.

21:16That was crazy.

21:17There are six left and we've been looking for a hot minute.

21:20The contestants are racing around the city.

21:22We got our headphones on just to block the noise from the explosions of the cannon because it is

21:27loud.

21:28They got the safety measures in place.

21:30They got the pyrotechnics, the explosions, the lighting.

21:33It is unbelievable.

21:35Heck yeah!

21:38When the last cannonball runs over there, I need everyone to be like, yeah.

21:43And then Jimmy's going to trigger the big bomb.

21:44I think we have one more person who just found a cannonball.

21:51Go, go, go, go, go, go.

21:57Cue the fireworks show.

21:59Here comes the biggest explosion yet.

22:21All right, the fireworks are over and now the fire department is here on site making sure all

22:26the flames, all the smoke, everything is safe.

22:30So this is not an occurrence with our gear.

22:33Take a bullet hole.

22:34Oh, I can see the lens, dude.

22:37Wow.

22:38This is where we keep all our camera bodies and 90% of what we have right now is that

22:43one shoot.

22:43Yeah.

22:44Oh my God.

22:44Look at all your gopros.

22:45How much money do you think all the gear here is worth?

22:48If I had to put a number on it, it's definitely north of five million.

22:51I mean, we have, you know, thousands and thousands of individual serialized items that we keep track of.

22:57This is our new workhorse, the XT26.

23:00It's a 2,600 watt fixture.

23:03And this is for the outdoor shoots.

23:05You look like a ghostbuster right now.

23:07Exactly.

23:07Yeah, it makes you crazy look.

23:11These FPV drones.

23:13These are flying cars.

23:14Oh yeah.

23:15What the hell?

23:17This is like my childhood and adulthood merch.

23:19Oh, for sure.

23:20Look at this.

23:20Look at the GoPro in the front, the drone propellers.

23:24So this thing will like drive into a shot and then fly.

23:27Mm-hmm.

23:28They want to have every angle covered so that they can pull from any moment.

23:31So it's truly unscripted.

23:32Oh, absolutely.

23:33I mean, I've been geeking out like all day, but this is something else.

23:36We try to take a lot of the core foundation of Mr. Beast, giving away money, giving away private

23:41islands and a lot of the games, challenges, burying alive.

23:44Weirdly, I've done that three times now.

23:46Guards, bury them alive!

23:49Nine contestants are being buried alive.

23:51Oh my God.

23:53How are you thinking about this from a filming perspective?

23:55It's all about their confessionals to the camera when they're in there.

23:59So obviously we have one just straight down.

24:01I am really out here getting buried right now.

24:04I'm going to fill this up quick.

24:06And we've got two on either side.

24:08So it's like they're laying on one side or the other.

24:09And then these coffins are so large.

24:11You're essentially able to sit up within the coffin.

24:14So we put one at their feet.

24:15Oh my God.

24:16That's what we've learned, especially after seeing Jimmy in one for seven days.

24:19Just like camera placement within this confined space.

24:22It's going to sound crazy, but if you're going to bury somebody alive,

24:25you want the Beast team to do it.

24:27Can I bury myself in the coffin?

24:28You can.

24:29Really?

24:30Absolutely.

24:32Whoa.

24:33It's been nice knowing you.

24:36Whoa!

24:37Scary, right?

24:38All right.

24:39That's a wrap, everybody.

24:42That is terrifying.

24:43Like, how did you prepare for this when you did this for your YouTube videos?

24:46Truthfully, the first time I plot a coffin, I put it in my garage.

24:49It was my old house.

24:50And I would just lay in it for a few hours every night just to adjust to being in it.

24:54Because I wanted to know if I was going to have a panic attack before we started the video.

24:57There's 20,000 pounds of dirt on me.

24:59And if the coffin broke, I was dead.

25:01No.

25:02Bro, my back was hurting.

25:03I mean, you can get blood clots, but people found it enjoyable.

25:06Look at the views on it.

25:07Would you ever bury yourself alive for more than seven days?

25:10At one point, we were thinking about doing a month, but I said,

25:12I got so much stuff going on now.

25:14I'm good.

25:14John hits the hardest questions as, like, my awareness and, like, brain cells are plummeting.

25:21John's like, all right, time to dig deep.

25:22Your childhood, your mother, what was that relationship like?

25:25That's his job.

25:26That's why I told him to hang around.

25:27That's right.

25:28That's true.

25:28But no one else will.

25:29Most people would be too afraid.

25:30What does it take to be Jimmy's main cam op?

25:33You have to be able to predict what he wants before he wants it.

25:36There you go.

25:37Yeah, he just wants to be talent.

25:38Doesn't want to do it.

25:39Wait, Darius, do you want to be in front of the camera?

25:41Yeah, he does.

25:43He's fiending to throw the camera down.

25:45Wow, so you're going to have Darius in the main channel YouTube video in front of the camera.

25:48There's a lot of folks at Beast have worn many different hats.

25:51I mean, Carl was behind the camera.

25:52Like, Tariq's, like, has...

25:53Exactly.

25:53That's our pipeline to talent is you just hold the camera until everyone kind of likes you.

25:57You're already thinking about how to, like, rotate more of your couples.

26:01Yeah, because it's not like I don't like these guys.

26:03Yeah.

26:03So, you know, like, right after we finish this, it's 30 days of nonstop main channel filming.

26:07Like, these guys are going to be dying.

26:09You know what I mean?

26:09Yeah.

26:10So...

26:10Do you think you'll continue, like, on that pace?

26:12Like...

26:13Yeah, because it's my company, but it's different, you know?

26:14Even when you have a family and kids?

26:16Oh, like 20 years?

26:17I don't know.

26:18I just know what I'm doing in the next 24 hours.

26:20And it's eating shit and filming.

26:23This is what I'm talking about.

26:25See how Carl's just yelling random things?

26:27Camera man in the circle.

26:30I'm looking like Steve Urkel.

26:32Oh, oh, oh, oh.

26:34So am I.

26:37We are the guys.

26:39John, who looks more like Steve Urkel?

26:42I'm about to get canceled.

26:45Maybe just by a little.

26:48Because I did 24 hours in a desert, 24 hours in a jungle, 24 hours underwater.

26:52I have 24 hours of solitary confinement.

26:53Period alive was just a natural evolution, you know?

26:55Did you ever think you'd die when you were doing your YouTube videos?

26:58No, because we have safety teams and stuff, and I have faith.

27:00I mean, that's why we have Johnny.

27:01If there was a catastrophic emergency up here, they'd be safer down there.

27:06Johnny, it's a stunt double here.

27:07This is our scene.

27:08How are you doing?

27:09We'll push you in.

27:09This guy was Zac Efron's stunt double.

27:11The things that you did during your breaks, where you invited other creators on.

27:16It was a lot.

27:17That's what makes it so hard, because I wasn't just doing Beast Camps.

27:20I was also doing the marketing for Beast Camps.

27:21And I was doing social posts and stuff for after the show drops.

27:24And so those were, man, those were jam-packed days.

27:26It was a lot of creators we filmed with.

27:28And I'm so grateful for them.

27:29John, what's up, baby?

27:33I love this guy.

27:35I love this guy, man.

27:36I love this guy.

27:37When you got this shit out here, you know you made it, dude.

27:39I said get that out of my shot.

27:42That's John's quote, Mike.

27:43That's not me.

27:44Bro, you can't stand on there when you're 6'5", you're making me look like I'm T1, bro.

27:47Come on.

27:50T1, stand on there, man.

27:52They're great equalizers.

27:53There we go.

27:54This is my two worlds colliding right here.

27:56I want to be here without you guys.

27:57Wait, what's the most viewed video on John's channel, though?

27:59Wait, I haven't beat him yet?

28:01I think Danny has 3.5 and Jimmy has...

28:04Number one most viewed videos on his channel is me.

28:06Let's get it.

28:06I'm in second.

28:07Bro, you have 400 million subscribers.

28:09I'll probably gain 8 million in the next video.

28:12This is Mr. Beast, the biggest YouTuber in the world.

28:15So behind me, Jimmy is doing another collab with a creator.

28:18It's his ninth one tonight as he kind of speed runs through each of these creator collabs.

28:22Is that Brent Rivera?

28:23Yeah.

28:24And it's been orchestrated by Sinan, the head of marketing for Beast Games, to help promote the show.

28:29How many TikToks would you say you've shot so far throughout the show?

28:3347, 48.

28:34Wow.

28:35And how hard is it to get, like, time?

28:37Very hard.

28:38You said that before I finished.

28:40Very hard.

28:41Yeah.

28:41We put creators in different areas of the set during Jimmy's break,

28:44so you can do the collabs back to back to back without losing any time.

28:48Eric came down, Graham Stephan, Matthew Beam in his secret room, Haley Bailey.

28:53Because we're building such large, massive sets in Beast Games,

28:56it's just a perfect breeding ground to film social content.

28:59Lethal Shooter taught me everything he knows.

29:01Can you guess which shot went in?

29:02Before we shoot with Jimmy, we do it with a stand-in to make sure that the camera angles,

29:07the sound, and the lights are perfect.

29:08So we can get it in one take without wasting his time.

29:11Can you guess who makes this shot?

29:12Three, two, one.

29:16And those 40 collabs would not have been possible without our head of marketing,

29:18Sinan.

29:19He crushed it.

29:20We're coming up with better ideas on this channel.

29:22We're coming up with bangers.

29:25Jimmy's like, finally a break.

29:28Finally a break.

29:29His eyes have been shut for like 30 seconds.

29:31He's like taking a nap.

29:33You have an extremely busy schedule, so.

29:35Oh yeah, I'm going to go back to killing Beast Games.

29:36I won't forget to post an Instagram story.

29:38Go check it out.

29:39YouTubers collaborate.

29:40That's a normal thing.

29:42And the idea that television doesn't do it,

29:45it just doesn't make sense to me.

29:47There's a lot of things that get in the way with that.

29:49A lot of networks and a lot of problems.

29:50But there's no reason not to figure it out.

29:52And so we did.

29:54We went straight to the source.

29:55We went to Jeff.

29:56Getting excited.

29:57Get to meet the players.

29:59See Jimmy.

30:03Russ, go ahead and roll.

30:04Rolling.

30:05Action, Jeff.

30:09Oh, that's sick.

30:11Welcome.

30:12Come join me.

30:14Jeff Brooks?

30:15Yes, it is.

30:17For Survivor specifically, there's a hundred thousand reasons

30:21why we should collaborate with them.

30:22We give away islands.

30:24I bought this show, enormous private island,

30:26and I'm giving it to one of you.

30:27There's a whole island video where we do votes like tribal,

30:30even strength and smart.

30:31Strong versus smart.

30:33Came from brains and brawn.

30:35We're doing three tribes this year.

30:37Beauty, brains, and brawn.

30:39Everyone in our company has seen some form of Survivor episodes.

30:42You watch Survivor every week.

30:45I know.

30:45Literally, Jeff Probst is the godfather of challenge television.

30:48Jimmy, is it wild that Jeff's first season of Survivor

30:51was when he was 27 years old?

30:53You're 27 years old right now.

30:55Really?

30:55Yeah.

30:56Dang.

30:57Jeff's been doing Survivor as long as I've been alive.

31:00Every second I've grieved air is the second he spent making this show.

31:03What's up?

31:04You're finally here.

31:06Good.

31:07Nice to finally meet you.

31:08Finally, man.

31:08Thanks for having me.

31:09Yeah, thank you.

31:10Beast Games, welcome to Survivor.

31:12Welcome to Fiji.

31:14Hey, everybody.

31:15We got Beast Games team here.

31:17How's it going?

31:18Nice to meet you all.

31:20Survivor has really perfected storytelling.

31:22It's literally what started all of this, right?

31:24I mean, we kind of have Survivor to thank for that.

31:27You have Jeff and Survivor in like one of the greatest TV franchises ever.

31:33And now you have Jimmy and Beast Games in the biggest, probably most watched competition show ever.

31:40And it was like you and Kareem met magic for the first time.

31:45But it was the two giants of their respective worlds like coming together in that moment.

31:50We've revamped it all into your color scheme with your logos and your banners.

31:55I love it.

31:55We think it works pretty well, but the idea is we run it.

31:58And then you and your team tweak it as you want.

32:00Hey, Carl, hop up there.

32:01I don't even know where to go from here.

32:03To me, this is the highest point we'll ever see, I think.

32:06Oh, yeah, dude.

32:07I'm here for life.

32:10For the first phase, you go through here.

32:12You got coconuts.

32:14You got to stand on this platform, take one coconut at a time.

32:17We brought 10 people.

32:18We left our entire crew and we basically asked them,

32:22can we use your whole crew?

32:23As amazing as our crew is at filming Beast Games,

32:26our crew wouldn't film Survivor the way Survivor's crew would.

32:29That was their off day.

32:30They worked six days a week.

32:32That off day, they used for us just to help our show.

32:36I'm letting Jeff take over this episode on Paul and his lead.

32:38It'll be fun.

32:39I don't know how they do it on Beast Games.

32:40On Survivor, we move quickly.

32:42We've never done anything like this.

32:44We're super insulated, you know, you could say protective of our show.

32:49We really don't typically even have people visiting,

32:51but the only people we would have here would be Beast Games.

32:55I don't want to conform Jeff to our style.

32:56I want to conform myself to his style.

32:58I mean, it's 50 seasons, clearly people like it.

33:02When we went to Survivor Island, that's something that Sean kind of put into effect.

33:07Jeff, can I show you this picture that Sean Klisner shared of your first meeting together?

33:11Yeah, it's at our guest house.

33:12Do you remember how that came together and like,

33:14what role Lori played in that?

33:16Like, how did that all come about?

33:17We're here because of her.

33:17I had an opportunity to go visit Fiji.

33:20We just happened to be seated next to each other on the plane ride to Fiji,

33:24and immediately hit it off and got to talking.

33:27I literally asked Lori Delacali on the airplane over to Fiji, who's Jeff's right hand,

33:33you know, with all things PR.

33:34And I just said, hey, we should do something together.

33:36And she goes, huh?

33:39What does that look like?

33:40I was like, well, what if we did something as a collab?

33:43I texted Jeff right from the plane.

33:45You know, we got to talk as soon as I land.

33:47She looked up, she goes, I just texted Jeff.

33:49I was like, like Jeff, Jeff Probst?

33:52Then all of a sudden, it goes ding.

33:54And she looks down, she goes, he's really into it.

33:57We just kept talking.

33:58Lori's like, we should do something with them.

34:00They are cool.

34:01They're like us.

34:02We meet with Jeff.

34:03We spent about two hours with him.

34:05And I took out my camera and I took a picture.

34:08And he goes, let's change television.

34:10OK, we officially have our two team captain out.

34:14I'm dreaming.

34:15This is crazy.

34:16We're all rolling.

34:18All right, over to Jeff.

34:19Yo.

34:20All right, they're off.

34:21First out of the game.

34:22That's how you do it on Survivor.

34:24Mink is falling incredibly behind.

34:26Is this it?

34:29It was interesting to see the Survivor team

34:32that has a formula down to a science

34:35of how they produce TV to have the circus come into town.

34:39As similar as Jeff and Jimmy are in their content,

34:42they're totally different in their approach.

34:44It's fun to watch Jimmy sort of go wherever he wants.

34:47He doesn't care that his hat covers his face.

34:49He doesn't care he's back to camera.

34:50I literally was looking at Jimmy going,

34:52this guy's the king.

34:54Clearly, genius.

34:56That's exactly what he's doing.

34:57There's kids on the set.

34:58He's like, oh, come in, come in.

34:59I'll say hi to the kids.

35:01And, you know, Jeff Probst took a moment and was like,

35:05this is what you do on your show?

35:06Like, people can come and go?

35:07He's like, Jimmy's like, yeah, like, this is what we do.

35:09They've taken this genre and just steroided it.

35:14Everything's bigger.

35:15The bribes are not a hamburger.

35:20Three, two, one.

35:23All right, ladders out.

35:24Remember, if your feet hit that sand,

35:26your chances of winning the island is over.

35:29Tyler, this could get interesting quickly.

35:31Jimmy, he is jamming his face.

35:33Yeah, that does not look comfortable.

35:35For leverage.

35:35Jeff is coming in with a little bit where he's giving away a burger,

35:40which is a big deal on Survivor.

35:41Ethan, this is a fresh burger made in our Survivor kitchen.

35:44I don't like burgers.

35:45Ian?

35:46Ian said no.

35:47Give it to the losers so they feel a little better.

35:48And then Jimmy's going to come in with his big twist.

35:51Carl, bring it on in.

35:53I'm curious.

35:54Will any of you take my $50,000 bribe?

35:5650G, baby.

35:58Stay up.

35:59Bro, let's have families.

36:01You're not going to beat us in tribal.

36:02Ethan, you're good.

36:04Six, five.

36:05Ethan, don't do it.

36:06Take it, Ethan.

36:07I'm going to take it.

36:08One, slide down.

36:09No, Ethan, Ethan.

36:10Yeah, you're good.

36:11You're good if you slide down now.

36:12I'll allow it.

36:13Wait, Ethan is really taking it.

36:15Okay.

36:17Wow.

36:18Wait, Ethan, you can slide down.

36:20Wait, Ethan was about to give in, too.

36:23Does seeing, like, bribes with that much money

36:25or the fact that Jimmy has given over $24 million in one season,

36:30you've given over $50 million in over 50 seasons,

36:33does that make you think about the prize money

36:35you want to give away on Survivor moving forward?

36:37No, because this is the fundamental difference

36:40of the two social experiments, in my opinion.

36:44Beast Games is about what would you do for money.

36:47Survivor is who are you when stripped of everything.

36:49So our show, the money is a carrot, but the experience

36:55and the adventure of being tested with while you're living

36:59in nature with no food and no soup and all,

37:00that's what the show's about.

37:02Your experiment is very different.

37:03You just saw it play out.

37:05Ethan was, as Jimmy just said, seconds away from probably

37:09the island because he's saying JC can get the votes.

37:11He can't get the votes.

37:13But the minute Jimmy said, this is guaranteed,

37:16Ethan said, I'm taking the guarantee.

37:18I thought that was that little moment.

37:20I'd say that's what Beast Games is all about right there.

37:22Even now people say, when are you going to be done?

37:25I don't know.

37:27You know, I love pointing to you as an example,

37:28because I say the same thing.

37:30Like I've been doing YouTube for 15 years and everyone's like,

37:32well, eventually you're going to get too old

37:34because I've been doing it since I was 12.

37:35And I'm like, I mean, Jeff's in his 60s now.

37:38He's still going like, why do I, why do I have to stop before I turn 30?

37:42What do you mean?

37:42You know, they're like, so when you're 40 years old,

37:44you'll be making YouTube videos.

37:45And I'm like, yeah, why not?

37:47Your storytelling's up here and you leave no other characters.

37:50And I would say season one, we're down here.

37:51And in season two, I'm trying to like bring it up to here

37:53where you like feel like you really know a lot of the contestants.

37:56That's cool.

37:57That's a nice compliment.

37:58And you bring spectacle in a way that really blows up an idea,

38:01which is cool.

38:02The question is, who's going to be doing this longer?

38:05Me or Jeff?

38:05I'll let you guys decide that.

38:06I got another 20, 30 years in the tank.

38:08Does he?

38:09Damn.

38:11That's unfair.

38:12Yeah, who's going to quit first?

38:13Yeah.

38:13He's in his 60s.

38:15He's so old.

38:17This is how I think Jimmy sees me.

38:20No, I see a little more bent over.

38:22A little more.

38:22Yeah, sorry.

38:22That was a little too healthy.

38:24I'm just kidding.

38:24A set is not complete until they shoot social media content.

38:27That's what we've learned from Jimmy throughout all of this.

38:29You know, they're about to film a few Instagram photos,

38:31a few TikToks and Reels.

38:32And I wouldn't be surprised if after this,

38:34Survivor starts doing even more social posts.

38:36Hey, here's your microphone.

38:46My ball gets in the target before yours.

38:49Will you go on your YouTube channel and say,

38:51Survivor's the greatest show and everybody should watch it.

38:52Yes, I will 100% promote it, but you're not winning.

38:55So it is what it is.

38:56They literally went, hey, welcome to our family.

38:59Like, come on in.

38:59Let's try something new.

39:00Let's do something.

39:01Let's not say no was our rule.

39:04Let's just not say no.

39:05And what came out of it was,

39:07I don't want to say it could change the industry,

39:09but it should open the industry's eyes up to

39:12how collaboration should happen more in the industry.

39:15It's what the next generation wants to see.

39:17You guys have no idea how epic this is going to be.

39:19People are going to love it.

39:21And I am very grateful for you guys.

39:22There is so much that we have been able to learn

39:26throughout the experience of traditional television.

39:29But the one thing that we really, really have

39:32is that YouTube, get it done, whatever it takes mentality.

39:37And I think we figured out...

39:42I think we figured out what people want to watch on television.

39:49It's my How to Succeed and Mr. Beast production.

39:52Yeah, I remember when this leaked.

39:54I've met so many people who said their boss made them read this.

39:57I'm just going to read from it.

39:59It is 1135 Pack Night.

40:01Jimmy is selling a Lunch Leap commercial.

40:03Let's do one more.

40:03This is where the expansion is being done.

40:05Here, we solve crazy problems.

40:06That's how you pull off the impossible.

40:08We have a phone that says, ask for anything.

40:10How do you produce something like that?

40:11The requests are coming in one by one by one.

40:13Sending the serpent to a masseuse.

40:15Tattoo artist.

40:16Psychic.

40:17Drivers all over the city.

40:18Private jets waiting on standby.

40:20I am getting slammed.

40:22Could you connect me with Elon Musk?

40:24I DMed Elon, and then the next day Elon replied with him.
