like you give away so much money. Do you feel like you're like making up for
something in a past
life or like, is there something that like, um, you didn't grow up with a lot
of money, you know?
No. And so was it, do you like, when you think back on little moments, like did
you see somebody
give some money once and it made you feel excited or like, are you able to
connect any of those
dots as you get a little bit older and have some more breadth of time? You know,
that's where I,
I should come up with this, you know, throat heart throbbing story of like, I
just want to,
you know, uh, help people. Cause I couldn't when I was younger or whatever, but
the honest truth is
like, I know how to make content go viral. We were really good at making good
content. And I just
believe a world where I help people is just more fun than a world that I don't.
And that's kind of
really it. I just, I've noticed where, you know, videos where we do help people
or give away money.
I tend to just be a little happier, enjoy it a little bit more. And so I just
lean more that way.
That's cool. Yeah. I mean, that's the truth. I mean, I could, I could,
one time for fun. Cause like, everyone has these like PR publicists and PR
people. I just talked to
one. Uh, I was like, huh, what advice would you have for me? And they're like,
you need to come
up with a better story on why you help people. And I was like, well, what I,
cause this is what I
usually say. It's like, well, the truth is just as slightly more fun than what
I don't. And they're
like, no, you need to come up with a better one. Like, you know, like you are
saying like,
you don't say like you helped a homeless person. It brought you immense joy and
all this stuff.
And I was just like, yeah, that feels kind of fake. Yeah. So yeah, that's.
Yeah. So sometimes that's just the truth.
It is.
And it's a very simple truth. Yeah. I like helping somebody out.
It's just more fun than if I don't.
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's scary to think that though, like recently I was given,
given some money to some people that had been suffered from a storm, right. Um,
from some
flooding and, uh, but, and I'm not saying that to make myself look exciting or
anything, but
it was nothing like this. And if they see that and then hear what I get, they're
like, oh, this
is guy, this guy's, well, I mean, this is just our reality show, but yeah, in
general, I don't
know if you've watched too many of our videos, but we built a hundred wells in
Africa. We, uh,
Oh yeah, I know you helped them. Yeah. You guys have given stuff. You've taken,
uh, plastics
out of the ocean.
Yeah. But, well, the, the wells stuff, that one was interesting or really eyeopening
for
me. Cause we were one of them, like, we went like four hours into the middle of
nowhere and
you're like, you know, in places where these people don't have the internet,
like they're,
I mean, really intense poverty. And it's like, it's pretty eyeopening. I would
recommend
if anyone ever has an opportunity to, to like, just work on a project or do
something in places
like that. It's like crazy to think that we're on the same planet. You know
what I mean?
And people who like, don't even have access to clean water and have to walk an
hour every
morning to go to a river to get water. But then you look upstream and there's
literally
cows shitting in that same water that they're drinking out of because that's
like, that's
the world they live in. And like, we have the, anyways, I don't know.
Yeah. No, look, no, I think putting things in a perspective, right. Changes
things for
people.
Exactly. Were you, was, did you have to like, kind of achieve a certain amount
of finances
before you were able to start giving away finances kind of?
No, I've always like, my first brand deal was $10,000 and I just walked outside
and gave
it to a homeless person.
Wow.
So I've just always done it. Cause it's just like, you know, if I, um, do this,
then
hopefully this video makes $15,000 and then I'll give away $15,000 and then
hopefully that
video makes $20,000 and I'll give away 20. And so I just had that idea of where
I was like,
what if I just give away the money and then it makes more money and I give that
away.
And then I've just kind of been doing that for like eight years.
And now you're at $5 million, which is the largest amount that has ever been
given away
in a game show or in a reality show in any show. Really? No one's ever given
away. I think
squid game was the most of 4 million, 560,000.
Wow. Yeah.
Did you want to beat that kind of?
Oh yeah. That's why the number is 5 million.
But we also gave away like, you know, another 15 plus million on top of that,
just throughout
the show. I just like making great content and like, I like do, you know,
making things,
you can't find anywhere else. Cause it's just fun to like, see how the world
reacts to it.
Yeah.
And so in this instance, or in a lot of what we do, like we, one time we put,
we just put
a big circle on the ground. We put a hundred people in it and we just were like,
whoever
leaves last gets half a million dollars. And then it's just like, how long does
it take?
Who's going to leave? Um, like those are the kinds of things I like personally,
and just
curious on like, what the fuck's going to happen? You know?
Yeah. What's like one thing you've learned then about people's psychology? Have
you learned
or does it change a lot? Like, are you learned like, are there some general
rules you've learned
that people will, uh, uh, like behave around money or that sort of thing?
Oh yeah. That's an interesting question. That's, I honestly, I feel like people
are, uh, a lot
nicer than you would think. Like they're not as, uh, uh, they don't tend. And
maybe it's because
when we do it, they know the video is going to be seen by a hundred million
people. So they're,
they're thinking of their personal image, but a lot of times I have given
people the
opportunity to like screw other people over for some money. And usually they
don't take it or they
like push, like it requires way more money than you would think, you know, like
someone who'd
theoretically be making $30,000 a year and you would offer them 10 grand, but
it means this other person
gets eliminated or gets punished in the challenge. And a lot of times like they'll
say no, you know,
and I'm like, Whoa, that's not an easy decision to make. Like there's some
integrity here. You know?
Yeah. You mentioned that we were taping that you were surprised by some people's
integrity.
Exactly. Especially during this show. Like I sometimes throw a large copious
sums of money
to eliminate other people to like offer it to certain people. And they say no.
And I was always just like,
what the fuck? Wow. This is crazy. Is there one age group or gender group or
any demographic you can
give me on who it seems like after doing a lot of challenges where you've
gotten to see some
integrity? Um, no, it's, it's a pretty, this is 10 episodes. If we watched it
all, you would see
episodes of that. Yeah. You would see that it's like pretty widespread across
the board. I mean, maybe
the senior citizen, but some seniors can't make it through that. I, you saw
that one 70 year old
and she passed, which was, she passed away. No, passed the challenge. Oh God. I
hope she
doesn't pass away before the share show airs. That would be bad.
Thank you.
