Who is MrBeast and what is Beast Games?
Today's guest is one of the biggest content creators in the world. He's an entrepreneur, a YouTube guru, and he has created more energy and excitement into the world of giving back than possibly anyone. He has a new show called Beast Games where a record-breaking 1,000 people compete for the largest prize in entertainment history, $5 million. Grateful to finally catch up with the one and only Mr. Beast.
So is this, is it already started? We going?
Yeah, we'll start right now, man. Let's do it. Mr. Beast, Jimmy, nice to see you today. Likewise. Bro, that's awesome, man. So Beast Games, that's the show.
Yeah. So before this, we were showing on episode one of a show I have coming out December 19th. What'd you think of it? We watched it and then he started talking. His team was like, hit the cameras. Like, wait, wait, wait. Now I'm dying to know. What'd you think?
Oh, I thought a lot of things, man. First of all, I thought that you are obviously, you're this Wizard of Oz, Willy Wonka kind of, William Wallace of finances type of energy going on. Okay. You know, there's a lot of that. A lot. Like, I've never seen a show where every... I mean, a couple minutes, there's like another twist of possibility, right? Yeah. I kind of realized how many game shows are missing so many little elements in there where they could manipulate the situation more or create more of an environment for like competitors in the game to make choices that would affect them and others, you know? Yeah.
Yeah, and basically having layers and stuff like that. But the big thing is no one's ever set up that many cameras before because it's a logistical nightmare. So it's hard to do these kinds of things normally unscripted because we had unfathomable amounts of footage, like over 100 years of footage from that episode.
100 years of footage?
Yeah, because we had to have over 100 people work on it in post. So it's like to be able to do something at that scale, even just to set up the cameras and edit and everything is... I mean, no one's ever done it before.
It's diabolical.
Yeah.
You know, you said there's a lot of world records that were broken in the in the shooting of the of this series.
Yeah. Forty Guinness World Records. Wow. Yeah. We have like so many plaques now that we have up on our wall. I'm basically making a wall out of Guinness plaques just from the show. What are some of the records you guys broke? Most contestants ever in a show. Largest cash prize in a show. Most cameras recording at once in a show. Most people, which you saw. And a show like most money given away in the first episode of a show. Just like stuff like that.
Yeah. Oh, that's the most people probably since 9-11, I would think.
Oh, my gosh.
We might have to take that out. Yeah. And I shouldn't have said that. I'll say something else. Yeah. I haven't seen that many people. Yeah. at the same time.
Wait, why was there a cut before you say what you're saying right now?
Huh? Oh, there's just, we needed something.
He had to use the bathroom. Yeah. Yeah.
Just had to use the, yeah, I had already, I'd already soiled the conversation. Oh, that's the most people at once that I'd seen since, oh, since I was in the parking lot of a widespread panic concert, you know, but that was LSD. That kind of works a little.
Yeah, I think that's... Honestly, you should keep the first one. Okay, well, there we go, dude. You said it, not me.
That's a great point. You make the choices, man. Yeah, do you feel like this wizard? Because as I'm watching, I'm like, man, there's so many things. I'm like, where does the motivation come from? Is it to... Like, do you get so... much joy out of like having the manipulation of the situation is it giving away the money is because there's so many moments in there where i'm like watching people's feelings change like what is it for you that like have you been able to figure out because you've done so many of these types of um competitions and opportunities for people right yeah i mean this the thing is you
