Transcript

- [Mr. Beast] I’m going to give random people

hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Is this for real?
What?

For real?

Oh my God.
[Mr. Beast] Here’s how.

This is me.

And I’m pretending to be a news reporter.

And I emailed a bunch of random people asking

if my news station could interview them.

Little do they know this interview isn’t real,

and I’m gonna give them tons of money.

We don’t have graphics, so enjoy this.
[Person] Sike!
Hello and welcome to MBSND News.

This is my co-anchor, Chris,

and we just wanted to interview about the, you know,

recent pandemic and see how you’re doing.

Right as the economy started tanking, like,

my job laid off a third of the company in like one day.

And it was out of nowhere!

Wow.
We were about to close on our first house as a family.

Everything in our future became like immediately uncertain.

Okay, that’s a lot to take in.

We are just trying to help people

and make their lives a little better,

so we’d like to give you $10,000

to make everything going on a little bit easier for you.

What?
Yeah.
For real?
Yeah, actually our news viewership has gone up,

and we’ve been pretty fortunate,

so we wanted to give back to some people.

Dude, I never thought I’d be on Mr. Beast!

Oh, wait, you know who we are?
Oh my God!
Ah, come on.
I mean, MBSND, I’m sorry.
No, it’s fine.
You know, maybe, times are hard,

maybe you had to go pick up a job at MBSND, you know?

I guess we don’t need the globe anymore.
Thank you so much, guys.

That’s super, super helpful.

Like, for real, genuinely thank you.

Yeah, we’ll get you the money after the interview.

Thanks for calling in.

Oh my gosh.

Thank you so much, guys.

No problem.

Later.

And now it’s time for the next interview.

How’s it going?

Fine and yourself?
Good.

So, we’re WMSMB.

Could you tell us how, like,

you know, the global pandemic going on has affected you?

I never thought that the whole world would just stop.

I mean, I live in New York City, so, you know,

the beginning I kind of was essential at my job,

and at the end, I wasn’t.

You’ve been laid off recently?
Yeah.

My last day of work was the 20th.

It hurts to hear all this, so here at WSMB,

we want to give you $10,000

to try to make your life a little bit easier.

That’s crazy.

That’s just insane.

Oh, you’re about to make me cry, okay.
Trying to make a decision whether to take a job,

you might get sick.

Hopefully that $10,000 makes it

where you don’t have to pick, you know, a job

that can potentially get you sick.

Rent will be paid.

Maybe I can get a good night’s sleep tonight,

and I can pay it forward like you guys did to me.

I’m glad MBWSN has been able to help you.

Awesome.

Thank you.
No problem.

I’ll see you later, bye.

All right, Jimmy,

I think it’s time for our next interview.

(people boo)

All right, next one.

He’s waiting in the lobby.

I’m gonna admit him and start the interview.

This is my co-anchor Chris.

And we just wanted to interview about the, you know,

recent pandemic and see how you’re doing.

It was really scary for me.

I got hit hard financially

because like I was in the hospital for four days

and not working right now-

You actually got the virus?
I got the virus.
Wow.
Yeah.
So, you were furloughed from your job,

you then got the virus,

and now you’re stuck with medical bills?

15 grand is what I’ve heard so far.
Interesting.
Obviously like not working and living in San Francisco,

like I’m like, where am I gonna find that?

Yeah, yeah.

Hold up.

One second, sir.

Some breaking news.
I gotta talk to my news anchor.
We gotta take care of this one.
Okay.

Hey, so we here at MBSNDCGDBY News would like

to give you $15,000 to cover your hospital bills.

Also, I’m not a real news anchor

This is fake.

Everything is fake here.
We just like giving away money.
You guys helping like this means a lot.

Thank you.

No problem, man.
Thank you guys so much.

I really appreciate it.

Thank you.

No problem.

I hope you have a good day, man.

How do you get on with your day

after great news like this?

I hope you guys have been enjoying the news today.

Now, before we get into our next interview,

my anchor Chandler has a cool stat.

There are more fake flamingos in the world

than there are real.

What a shame.

All right, let’s jump right into the next interview.

Hello and welcome to WMBSCNDC News.

How are you doing, sir?

I’m doing all right.

As best as can be in these crazy times,

but making the best of it, I suppose.

We’ve got some intel that you’ve fallen on rough times.

Could you tell us a little bit

about what’s going on in your life?

Went to school all year,

was two weeks away from my state board license,

about to get a job, and all of this happened.

So, school debt, no money coming in,

no possible job opportunity, blew through all my savings.

It sounds like a lot has not been going your way recently.

And would you say if we were to,

you know, give you $10,000

that would make your life a little bit better?

Well, yes, that would make life a lot easier right now

and put this huge smile on my face.

I don’t even know what to say.

We’re actually not even a real news station.

I’m just an idiot.

I’m not though.
But the money is real though.
This is the most amazing thing I’ve heard.
Thank you for coming out to this interview.

I’m glad we could help you.

I mean, you guys, really thank you so much.

It’s epic.

It’s life changing.

No problem.

Thank you for coming out.

We appreciate you here at WNMBSEND News.

We are now college professors.

Our college Blash University is doing a comprehensive,

in-depth study to see how the pandemic is affecting people,

and also giving away a bunch of money.

(rock music)

How has the recent pandemic affected you?

I am out of work.

As soon as they heard about it, we were shut down.

So, I rely on mostly family.

How does that make Blash University feel?

All right, so we here

at Blash University wanna help you out.

How does $5,000 sound?

Do you think that would help alleviate some stress

from your life?

$5,000.

That’d help a lot.

I can pay a lot of bills.

We’re glad we could help you.
I’m glad you could help me.

I’m glad.

Everybody’s glad!

Everyone’s glad!

It’s a very emotional moment.
Thank you for participating in our YouTube video.

You had no idea what was going on.

I was totally shocked.
Got him!
Pranked!

You been pranked!

So, here’s the thing.

This woman right here, Sarah, is Chris’s sister.

And Chris’s sister helps train other teachers.

So, she teaches teachers how to be teachers.

And we got Sarah’s permission to jump in one of her calls

and give all the teachers she’s teaching today money.

Hello, everybody.

Can you guys hear us?

Hey.
What’s it like for you guys

with all this pandemic going on?

I still go in every day

and try to make some contact with students,

but it’s just been different.

We appreciate what you guys are doing,

so we wanted to give each one of you $1,000.

Oh!
Oh my God!
Oh my gosh!
Well, that was really all.

We can let you guys go back to whatever you’re doing.

Just wanted to give you money.

Thank you!
I need y’all to work on your math behind you.

(everyone laughs)

Oh, they’re making us do homework.

I’m leaving.

Bye.

(upbeat dance music)

Hello.

Everything going good?

It’s going okay.
Awesome.

We’re professors at Blash University,

and we’re just doing a study real quick.

So, Chris, I’ll let you take it away.

We just wanted to see

how the recent events have affected people.

How have you been finding yourself

with all these things going on?

My second job is closed.

My full-time job hours are like reduced back.

So, I had to go online with school.

So, what, you were working two jobs

and going to school at the same time?

Yes.
We here at Blash University would like to give you $5,000

to help make things a little bit easier on you.

Are you serious?
We are very serious.
Yes, ma’am.
Well, I don’t know what to say except thank you.
You’re very welcome.
No problem, ma’am.
It will make things a lot easier on me,

and I really do appreciate it.

Well, I’m kind of speechless.

Well, thank you for participating.

We’ll take care of sending you the money,

and I’ll talk to you later.

Thank you.
No problem.

Bye.

That worked very well.

We should be actual college professors.

All right, next set.

I now work for a real estate company.

I thought we were construction?
Oh.

I work for a construction company.

And this construction company is building lots of homes,

so we’re curious if people are still gonna buy ’em.

And we also want to give away money.

Hey, how’s it going?

Going very well.

How are you?

Good.

Sorry.

I’m a CEO and founder of a construction company, CRALL.

We just build buildings and stuff like that for real estate.

Do you have time for a quick survey?

Yeah, I guess so.
Have financially and everything things been good

or has the pandemic affected you negatively?

The pandemic has definitely affected us negatively.

I got laid off for my job.

Supposedly-

You got laid off?
My whole team just kind of got gutted.
Pick a number between one and 10.
Nine.
Do you think $9,000 will help make your life better?
Yeah, I think $9,000 would be amazing.
Well then right after this call,

I’m gonna wire you nine grand

to try to make things a little less stressful for you.

Thank you.

Wait, who are you?

Yeah, actually,

I’m not actually a real estate owner.

I make dumb YouTube videos.

I’m a little beside myself.

But I just, thank you.

Thank you so much.

All right, have a good day, guys.
See you, guys.

Buh-bye.

(power tools roar)

Can you hear me?
Oh no.
What?

Do you know who I am?

Mr. Beast.
Oh, okay, that kind of blows my cover.

Since you know who we are,

I might as well just cut to the chase.

Yeah, we’re not actually a construction company.

We’re actually just giving people money.

Oh wait, actually, we jumped ahead.

I need to ask how’s the pandemic affected you?

Right now, we are out on leave due to the pandemic.

So that affected me and my kids a lot.

What’s 2 x 4?
Eight.
Is that right?

Eight it is.

8,000, there we go.
Oh my God.

I’m speechless right now.

I really am.

‘Cause like I follow you guys on YouTube and stuff,

and I so love y’all.

Thank you.

We’re gonna let you go.

Thank you for coming on.

All right.

Thank you.

Okay, well thank gosh-
That was great.
We called her.

In between that clip you just watched and this one,

me and Chris went to law school

and we are now practicing lawyers.

You look like you wanna sell me a cure

to something I don’t have.

Even though we’re lawyers now, things are still the same.

We’re giving away money.

Hello, welcome to the call.

How are you doing?

Hey, I’m fine.

How are you doing?

Good.

Would you say you like money?

I love money.
Perfect.

All right, your settlement has been figured out.

$5,000.

I know this is very confusing,

but we’re gonna send you $5,000

because we here at Bailey Bailey feel

like no one should ever get laid off.

What? (laughs)

What?

Listen, I have a 17 month old son

that I take care of by myself.

Really?
Oh wow.
Oh my gosh.

My little king, he is gonna be, he’s gonna get everything.

Oh my God.

That’s really the gist of it.

We just wanted to give you some money.

Jimmy and Bailey from Bailey and Bailey.
Yes, thank you.
I’m just gonna say they are the best people in the world.
We need to take this next client very serious, okay?

Very, very serious.

Here, I’ll put my files away.
Thank you.

My name is Jimmy and this is my partner.

His name’s also Jimmy.

We work at J and J Law Firm.

Could you tell us, you know, in the last few months

how you’ve been affected financially?

Well, I haven’t worked since March the 10th.
She’s laid off.

I think that’s a wrong due settlement.

I think she should settle for around $5,000.

Yep.
But instead of the company, we should just pay it.

Okay.

‘Cause that’s logical.

Okay.

We wanna give you $5,000.

Is this for real?
Yeah, I think…
That’s real.
Okay.
Like, jokes aside after this call,

we’re gonna wire you $5,000 to make your life better.

I haven’t had a car since last August.

I think I might be able to buy me a car.

Really?
Is this for real?
[Person] It’s real, it’s real.
Yeah, it is for real for real, I promise.
Thank y’all.
No problem.
Handsome too.
Thank you!
Thank you.
Me and Chris are now chefs.

Pizza pasta.

What’s our restaurant?

McDonald’s?

Oh, that’s actually a restaurant.

Welcome to Slammy’s!

What’s your order?

Oh, we’re joining.

We joined the call by hitting the desk?

Hello, can you hear us, sir?

Yes, sir.
How’s your day going?
It’s going well.

How about yourself?

Has this pandemic affected you financially?
Yes, it has.
In what way?
Besides food, a little bit of food every now and again,

paying my rent mainly the problem.

Here, let me meet with my colleague.

Hold on.

What do you think Slammy’s should give him?

I think Slammy’s-

(shelf crashes)

(man laughs)

Slammy’s should give him-

So, anyway, sir, I’ll cut right to the chase.

We wanna give you $5,000 to help make your life better.

Oh man.

That would be great, man.

For real.

Yeah.

Just I hope you have a good day, man.

I greatly appreciate you, brother.
I fired the other chef and this is my new companion.
Hello.
Don’t drop everything.
What’d you say?
In case you’re wondering, the mess is still on the floor.

All right, this is kind of hard,

so we’re just gonna give you money.

You want $5,000?

Stop.

Oh my God.

Are you joking?

We do wanna help you and give you $5,000.
Oh my God.

Right now I’m not receiving any financial assistance

for school.

I’m without a job because I was let go last August.

Yeah, man.

That’s why we’re doing this.

Did you think we were chefs?

Yeah!

I mean…

Well, actually when he ate the raw pasta,

I was like, I don’t know.

(everyone laughs)

Yeah.

No, we’re not actually chefs.

All right, thanks for coming out, man.

I’ll catch you later.

See ya.
Thank you.
I thought you guys were chefs until you ate the raw pasta.
Yeah, I figured that would give it away.

(man yells)

These next few people think we’re talking to them

for our documentary we’re making on the pandemic.

But we’re just gonna give ’em money.
This is my partner here, Chandler.

We’re currently working on a documentary,

and we’re just interviewing some people for it.

What’s one of the first things you wanna ask him?

Well, how has the pandemic affected you?
It’s really stressful ‘cause I’m, you know, not working.
Not working?

Did you get laid off?

I have stage four liver cirrhosis.
Oh.
How about this?

If we give you $10,000,

do you think that would take some stress out of your life?

Yes.
All right, well then let’s do it.

We’re not actually filming a documentary.

I’m just a YouTuber that gives away money.

This is a $2 shirt.

(everyone laughs)

It’d just help me a lot

‘cause I’m not able to go to work.

I’d have to be by myself.

It’s just stressful.

Not to like have nobody in your corner.

I’m glad we were able to give the money to you though

‘cause it does seem like you need it.

And thank you.

Thank you for coming on.

Oh gosh.

That was a lot.

We cut off our camera.

His is still on.

Oh my gosh.

He’s bawling.

That last clip was for Chandler’s documentary.

Now what’s your documentary about?

The man with two fedoras.
I’d watch.

And now one fedora.

I’m gonna pick that up real quick.

(Chris farts)

We’re gonna join.

I’m gonna let you take the lead.

It’s your documentary.

All right.

Hello.

How’s it going?

Oh, wow.
Hi.
What?
Do you recognize us?
Yeah, you’re Mr. Beast.
Do you know my name?
If I’m not mistaken, I think you Chris?
Oh.
Okay.

Know his name?

(everyone laughs)

Chandler exists.

Everyone-

Everyone started laughing when Chandler walks in.

Someone told me that you don’t have a car

and that you got laid off, right?

Yeah.
We can’t have that.
At the moment, we’re not currently Mr. Beast.

We’re actually a documentary crew.

And Chris is filming a documentary,

and I don’t feel like going along with this bit.

You know what?

How about this?

You want $10,000?

Actually, how about I digress a little bit.

(jazzy music)

We’ve spent almost $200,000,

but I want to give her more money.

Okay.

How about $15,000?

Whatever you offer is, I’m grateful for.

I don’t even have the words, actually.

I can get my family out of that infestation

that we’re living in,

and I don’t have to worry about my wife dying in the vehicle

that we have now.

Thank you for coming on.
Thank you for having me.
And there you have it, guys.

We gave away a lot of money.
