I Gave $200,000 To People Who Lost Their Jobs (Corona Virus)

I'm going to give random people hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Is this for real?

What?

For real?

Oh my God.

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.

Psych! Hello and welcome to NBSND News. This is my co-anchor Chris, and we just wanted to interview about the, you know, recent pandemic and see How you 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.

No, dude, I never thought I'd be on MrBeast's show.

Oh wait, you know who we are.

Oh my gosh.

Ah, come on.

I mean MB&C, I'm sorry.

Yeah, no, it's fine.

You know, maybe times are hard. Maybe you had to go pick up a job at MB&S&D, 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?

Finding yourself? Good.

I'm Antonio Moniz from 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 WMSMB, we want to give you $10,000 to try to make your life a little bit easier.

That's just 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 the $10,000 makes it where you don't have to pick, you know, a job that could 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.

Aww, I'm glad MBWSN has been able to help you.

Awesome.

Thank you.

Bye. No problem. I'll see you later. Bye.

Alright, Jimmy, I think it's time for our next interview.

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 4 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. Obviously like not working and living in San Francisco, like, I'm like, where am I gonna find that?

Yeah, yeah, um, hold up, one second, sir. I gotta talk to my newscaster. We gotta take care of this. 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.

No problem.

Thank you guys so much. I really appreciate it.

No problem.

Thank you.

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 WMBS CNBC 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 2 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. That's— it's epic. That's— it's life-changing.

No problem. Thank you for coming out. We appreciate you here at WMVS CND 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. 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.

We here at Blaster University want to help you out. How does $5,000 sound? Do you think that would help alleviate some stress from your life? $5,000.

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. Yes, everyone's good. It's a very emotional moment. Thank you for, uh, participating in our YouTube video. You had no idea what was going on.

I was totally shocked.

Got him! 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, uh, 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 my God!

Well, that was really all. We can let you guys go back to whatever you're doing. Just wanted to give you money.

Yes, thank you. I need y'all to work on your math. Thank you. Bye!

They're making us do homework. I'm leaving. Bye! 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 bad. I had to go online with school.

So wait, 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, thank— I don't know what to say except for thank you.

You're very welcome.

It will make things a lot easier on me, and I really do appreciate it. 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 went 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 going to buy them. 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, C.R.A.L.L. 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 from my job. Supposedly— You got laid off? My whole team just kind of got it. Pick a number between 1 and 10.

9.

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 going to wire you $9,000 to try to make things a little less stressful for you. Thank you. Yeah, I'm 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, bye-bye. Can you hear me? Hello? What? Do you know who I am?

MrBeast.

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, before we jumped ahead, I need to ask, how's the pandemic affected you?

Right now we're out on leave due to the pandemic, so that affected me and my kids a lot.

What's 2 times 4?

8.

Is that right?

8,000. There we go.

Oh my God, I'm speechless right now.

I really am, because 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 want to 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 you doing?

Good. Would you say you like money?

I love money.

Perfect. All right, the 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? What?

I—

you listen, I have a 17-month-old son that I take care of.

Really?

Oh wow. Oh my gosh, my little king. He's 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 is also Jimmy. We work at J&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 wrongdo settlement. I think she should settle for around $5,000. Yeah, but instead of the company, we should just pay it. Okay, because that's logical. Okay, um, we want to give you $5,000.

Is this for real?

Yeah, I think, uh, that's real. Okay, 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 be able to buy me a car.

Really?

Yeah. Is this for real?

It's real.

Yeah, it is for real, for real. I promise.

Thank y'all.

No problem.

I'm kind of handsome too.

Thank you. Thank you. Me and Chris are now chefs. Pizza, pasta. What's our restaurant? McDonald's? Or that's actually a restaurant. Um, welcome to Slammys. 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, uh, food, a little bit of food every now and again, paying my rent, making it a problem.

Let me— here, let me meet with my colleague. Hold up. What do you think Slammy should give him?

I think Slammy should give him—

so anyway, sir, I'll cut right to the chase. We want to 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? And 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?

Oh, stop. Oh my god, are you joking? We do want to 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, and that's why we're doing this. Did you think we were chefs?

Yeah, I mean, well, actually, when, when he ate the raw pasta, I was like, I don't know.

Yeah, yeah, no, we're not actually chefs. All right, thanks for coming out, man. I'll catch you later.

See you.

Thank you.

I thought you guys were chefs until you ate the raw pasta. Yeah, I figured that would give it away. 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 him 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 want to ask him? Well, how has the pandemic affected you?

It's really stressful because I'm, you know, not working.

Not working? Did you get laid off?

I have stage 4 liver cirrhosis.

Oh.

How about this? Uh, 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.

It just helped me a lot because I'm not able to go to work and then 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, because it does seem like you need it. And thank you, thank you for coming on. Oh gosh, wow, that was a lot. We cut off our camera, his is still on. And look, 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.

Oh, 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 MrBeast.

Yeah. Do you know my name?

If I'm not mistaken, I think you're Chris.

Oh, okay. I know his name. Chandler exists. Everyone started laughing when Chandler walks in. Someone told me that, uh, 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 MrBeast. 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? We've spent almost $200,000, but I want to give her more money. Okay, how about $15,000?

Whatever you offer, I'm grateful. Oh yeah, the word actually. I can get my family out 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.
