Mr Beast is Rich Mr Beast is Handsome
I'm adding artificial affirmation to
make myself sound cooler this wasn't my
choice nobody actually makes the best
videos on YouTube they're viewed
hundreds of millions of times and his
average cost per video now is like
millions of dollars so what if you only
had like 20 bucks could you make a viral
Mr Beast red circle video
well that's exactly what I'm gonna do I
have to get supplies I have to get
I have to have a prize and this video's
gotta be a banger all from a twenty
dollar bill all right guys I'm here at
the hardware store I've got twenty
dollars in a dream thanks so much
cheers YouTube they didn't have any red
spray paint it's kind of embarrassing
already the downside of buying this
right now is that the spray paint cost
is gonna come out of the prize money
which is way less convincing for people
to come participate
see that
Mr B's video Down the Hatch
walking off like a beast the current
prize pool is 8.66 I had no idea paint
was so expensive Mr BEAST's current cost
up to this point my current cost up to
this point
all right found a field it's pretty big
really big is that poop
oh no it's a stick all right cue the
time lapse with the copyright free trap
music
not a circle it's just not it looks
worse in person so up to this point Mr
Beast will have spent 720 000 on this
video me 11.34 next step in this process
of recreating a Mr Beast video with
twenty dollars is you actually have to
have contestants I need people to stand
in this circle last to leave wins I
don't know for sure but Mr Beast has a
big team he has a lot of people on his
team helping him make the best videos on
the internet I'm assuming he has a
talent scout acquisition guy boom 300
000 salary so we're up over a million
dollars cost on on Mr B's side but I'm
just gonna go up to strangers and see if
they would be interested so let's do
this okay so it's last to leave Circle
okay wins you just stand in the circle
yeah well you don't want to leave it do
you want me to text it to you sure okay
if I do come I'll bring someone else
really okay perfect so Morgan is saying
that she's gonna bring a friend to the
circle which helps a lot that helps us
get more people in the circle but she
has a concert at eight o'clock which
means that she's very unlikely to win
good the prize money okay it's 8.66
right now
um
Audi
there's prize money
can't commit to that okay no okay the
worst part is whenever they ask how much
prize money it is and I reached in my
pocket and it jingled
her and I'll text you the info okay next
I'm gonna show people this photo just so
there's more context hopefully they
don't ask about the 20. it's money no no

leaves the circle last wins the grand
prize and if you touch the circle it's
game over and let's put it this way I'm
not gonna make it easy all right the
grand prize of the last to leave the
circle is
eight dollars and 66 cents

okay Nick so in a Mr Beast video
whenever the first person leaves the
circle he gives them a brand new car do
you just want
a Uber card no let's get an Uber
to go home thanks Ryan for Nick yeah
while I was talking to Nick Kyle got up
and stepped out of the circle
Kylie just left the circle within three
minutes why why did you do it I've got a
30 rack in the car
uh
I make 40 an hour
is kind of rough we have seven
contestants remaining and they are
enjoying their time in the circle so I
decided to check on them and get to know
them a bit better how long have you guys
known each other
that's almost a baby
hey Jen you said you just got back from
swimming
you want to carrot it's a red piece of
grass you look like you've been here for
like days dude I'm ready to be here for
days what was it like to lose a Mr Beast
challenge he's actually been in a Mr
Beast video
you know I came in high hopes to win an
island lost instantly it's one of the
most crushing moments of my life but
that's why I'm here right now does it
make any difference that this time it's
for 8.66 or nah man I don't even need a
rise I just need the Pride and Glory
from winning 36 minutes have passed in
real life so at this point in a Mr Beast
video
okay
we're still going strong at 20 bucks
seven left I feel just as confident as
when I walked in
you guys hear that
hey they hate me because they hate me
hey guys so I'm in the circle I'm trying
to make friends I'm trying to win this
eight dollars
can you believe that she's my girl
that's not my boy I think I think he
wants me to lose so nobody of the final
seven was budging so it's time for our
first challenge for the next 10 minutes
you guys have to stand up we got one
clap that time all right the timer
starts
now
look at them they cannot be defeated
they seem so enthusiastic I kind of
forgot to think of more challenges so I
got my friend Isaac to come with spike
ball for the next one congratulations 10
minutes of standing is up
I taught them to clap after I say
something so here's what's gonna happen
this is a small circle especially with
all of you guys in there we're gonna set
up a spike ball net and four of you have
to play if you win you get a free
bathroom break that you can use at any
point
if you lose
you're out oh
but this has to happen so we're setting
it up if you don't know spike ball is a
it's a fun game it's kind of like a mix
of volleyball
I can't think of another sport but this
is what it looks like when you're
playing it you kind of need space to do
it well and that's what they don't have
our contestants are Alan and Tyler
versus Jack and Julia I'm gonna go do a
run around the circle make sure no one's
touching it
we're good no one's touching it guys we
have so many hidden cameras
so don't even think we won't miss
we will miss a person stepping on the
circle
we have one iPhone three two one good
luck
laughs
okay
look it's kind of hard to follow the
points visually Alan and Tyler not doing
good
at all in fact check this out
oh Allen and Tyler lost my friends here
who said he was gonna win the actors are
outside your control sometimes
yeah he's out I did nothing but sit and
watch
Jack and Julia team JJ won our spikeball
championship
oh
[Music]
oh no Alan you came all the way here
from Michigan just for this how does
that feel it's uh it's disappointing
it's uh
spikeball man Tyler how's it feel to
lose twice and this time it was
literally like so much less significant
this one hurts a little bit more I'm not
even gonna lie had my sights set on the
end couldn't happen stars in a line
we'll be back round three soon baby
whose channel is he gonna go on next Mr
Beast doesn't show how hard it is to see
people lose
[Music]
music is appropriate
[Music]
we made it to the final five
well guys it's uh it's almost dinner
time so I'm gonna run and grab you guys
some dinner if you're gonna leave make
sure you just film it we'll be right
back guys
yeah don't leave a circle
[Music]
we're starting card time
a bonding moment
okay so I really am going to get dinner
but there's a little bit of a catch I'm
going to McDonald's for dinner and I'm
gonna get them some McChickens however
that money comes out of the prize pool
so I don't know how they're going to
receive that at this point I don't even
know that they care about the money
secondly while I'm gone I got my friend
Isaiah he's gonna well I'll just explain
here in the car
okay so I'm here with Isaiah photo I'm
here now he's holding a pickaxe I'm
going to get McDonald's for dinner
that's for sure however the game doesn't
end whenever I leave Isaiah's gonna walk
up to the circle and I want you to say
like I work for the city and there is an
active pipeliner there that I need to
get to
this is my circle
Isaiah's gonna be at this I would do so
poorly I feel like I would just start
laughing immediately I actually need you
guys to leave okay but when we're done
our game though okay howdy can I just
get five McChickens first one though
thank you we got McDonald's I'm gonna
guess that when I get back everyone will
have left the circle yeah
not sure what's happening yeah I'm gonna
slide over here okay I'm gonna run up
and act like I have no idea who this guy
is
guys you passed
guys I have good news and bad news so
for dinner got everybody McChickens
[Applause]
that's the good news the bad news is it
came out of the prize money so now the
prize pulls three dollars and 26 Cents
so here you guys go hope you guys like
McChickens just don't forget this is
what you're playing for Jen is the only
one that ate a McChicken the next
challenge is that I'm going to cut the
circle in half
everyone is so in it I don't understand
at this point it's three dollars and 26
Cents they've been here for hours I
don't have plans for this to go through
the night
so
while I was cutting the circle in half
making it smaller Susie actually got a
text message inviting her to the movies
so I think this is my exit oh a pleasure
playing with you dang
oh so Susie got invited to a movie
so you're you're leaving for the soft
pretzels okay you gave Jen a hug there
what was that about yeah so she was the
first friend that I made in the circle
and at first I was like wow this is
gonna be really boring but I made a
friend and so it was worth it is there
anything you want to say to Mr Beast Mr
Beast hey you're going down
Ryan's gonna win it's not that's not it
oh it's not a competition is Mercer just
anything you would say to him and then
there were four
I'm gonna try to figure out a way to
split them up how much longer are you
guys willing to be here we're the shade
now that's all I gotta say 45 minutes of
the concert on time so dang my flight's
not till tomorrow
sun is literally setting so I gotta
figure out ways to get them out
challenge alerts
you guys are all gonna stand on one foot
the first person to lose their balances
out we're gonna start it off with one
minute if you guys all make it to one
minute we'll just make it a little
harder good luck three two one go keep
an eye on Jack's foot keep an eye on
Jack's foot these four are suspiciously
good at standing on one foot I have a
hunch they knew this was gonna happen oh
yeah it's been a minute you're good so
the next challenge you guys are all
gonna come to the rim of the circle
you're gonna have one foot out go one
minute guys so I made them jump in place
right at the edge of the circle and
unfortunately uh Jen you just touched
the line I did Jen we're gonna review
your footage if you whether or not you
stepped over the line okay
here we go I think that was it oh there
it is
um I'm so sorry
who do you think's gonna win now uh Jack
100 there's no question yeah 100
okay what are the odds that you guys are
the final three
so you have a concert that you have to
leave for and how much 40 minutes 30
minutes so you were leaving if we
reached that time limit we'll see what
the prize is if it stays this high

having a great time it's literally just
a group of friends sitting on grass at
this point I have some tricks up my
sleeve I have a free fries gift card
from Shake Shack I'm gonna put it in
this envelope and
do one of those things where Jimmy's
like you could stay or you could take
this envelope they're gonna let some
time pass though just to see it you know
if they're actually Gonna Keep staying
here
[Music]
seem to be comfortable so
as host of this show I've decided to
make it a little bit harder basically
just gonna have to stand up for the rest
of the time and I also have a
proposition you guys could stay in the
circle or
you could take your chances
and see what's in this envelope look at
McDonald's reward
that would be absurd
wow you guys are strong
okay they've been standing for a while
now so I think what I'm gonna do is
offer them an envelope again and really
try to make one of them take it
we are in public how y'all feeling great
not bad good I'm gonna offer this one
more time
I really suggest one of you guys take
this envelope
last chance we're like three friends so
we're good to just chill and hang out
it's like it's like we're at home it's
like we're in the living room so you
guys are all declining this
all right I guess you guys are just
gonna have to see what you would have
gotten
free fries at Shake Shack

gonna have to figure out a way to split
them up
[Music]

I'm just gonna have to cut the circle in
half the game

I've exhausted every possible resource I
have so we have we have a really tough
thing we have to do real quick you guys
gonna have to collectively pick one
person to leave the circle right now you
have 60 seconds to decide who's out
three two one go

but in the meantime I'm going to
interview Julie uh you made it to the
final three never would have expected
