Jimmy traps two strangers in a white cube for 100 days to win $500,000. They can buy comforts like coffee and family visits, but each purchase cuts the prize. On day 60 they reject a mystery box worth two Teslas for $50k, then regret it. Both choose to split the money at the end, each walking away with $250,000.
Chapters
I built a massive isolation chamber. And we're going to see if these two strangers can survive in this chamber for the next 100 days. They have never met each other ever. Bailey, this is Suzie. Suzie, this is Bailey.
Nice to meet you.
Hi. Nice to meet you.
If the two of you can survive the next 100 days in here, I will give you the $500,000 inside of this vault. But if one of you leaves before the 100 days is up, you both get nothing. All right. I think you guys understand the rules. Have fun.
Okay, bye.
This is going to be crazy.
Um, yeah.
This is actually like an insane asylum.
They're currently looking at all the stuff we put in there. We gave them enough food for 100 days, which is healthy, but basically the exact same thing over and over again. We also gave them their own private bathroom, which comes with a shower and obviously has no cameras inside and a bed to sleep on. They have everything they need to survive 100 days. It's just a question of do they want it?
I got a comb. I don't know if I've ever combed my hair in my life.
Interesting.
See how they're both standing on different sides of the room? They're so awkward. When I had them take their blindfolds off, that was legitimately the first time they had ever met.
I just keep thinking of the feeling, like, of exiting. Oh yeah, how good is that gonna feel? It's only 100 sleeps. Only 100 sleeps, and then the world will have just kept going. Mm-hmm. That's like what freaks me out.
The most interesting part of this experiment is is that in this room, you have no idea what day or time it is. And already on night 1, Suzie and Bailey made the mistake of only sleeping for 2 hours, which means they started their second day at 2:37 AM.
I'm just gonna just act like this is just the new normal.
Okay, what do you want to eat?
Are you feeling beef or chicken?
Mm, chicken.
Chicken sounds great.
Mm, nice chicken. It's good.
As you can see, living inside a white cube is pretty boring. Besides eating the same thing over and over, time in the chamber consisted of two things: trying to hide from the bright lights.
The lights are just so bright that we have to make these things to shield ourselves.
And desperate attempts to keep themselves entertained, like on day 4 when they used the paper from their journals to make a deck of playing cards. Is he making cards?
All right, so I just finished my deck of cards. I think that they actually came out all right.
Which honestly looked pretty fun. So I made myself a 30,000 $1,000 seat and joined in. On day 5, they made a sign-in sheet, which was really just an elaborate trick. What is this?
You have to sign our sign-in sheet.
Oh, these are our camera people.
Yeah, this is everyone that's come in today.
Wait a minute. You're having them do this so you can track the date and the time. Hold up. I need to borrow this.
No, no, no. I wrote the date. I wrote the date.
Which I got to say was pretty smart. But by the time we got to day 7, anything considered smart was thrown out the window. Bailey's lost.
He's whipping the poor.
Yeah, the betty never stood a chance. 5 more throws, but I only need 1. Let's freaking go, baby.
It's actually crazy to me that already on day 9 of this challenge, they're bored enough to expose the red line that if they cross, they lose every dollar of their prize money. It is now day number 10. How you doing, Nolan?
Good.
And I got a pretty interesting offer. What is the door? So it looks like they took the $500,000 and put $250,000 on her side and $250,000 on his to remind themselves of what's at stake. This— the whole door opening thing is so dramatic. How's it going? We're about to reveal the most interesting part of the challenge. I need you two to just face this wall.
They don't even know that there's a door back here.
Let's do this. It's your first time seeing the outside world in 10 days.
You are kidding me. The sky!
Every 10 days, I will give you something that will make the challenge easier. But if you actually want it, you'll have to pay for it with some of your prize money. And first, for day 10, we're going to give you the option to buy a private chef that will cook you whatever you want between now and the end of the challenge for $50,000. Before you answer, if you want to give up some of your prize money, we're going to let you have a nice meal. Use this as a floor for your imagination as to what you could be eating for 90 more days.
You are kidding me.
50 grand's a lot though.
Okay, let's not think about it right now.
These look like some people that have only ate canned chicken for 10 days.
I love just looking at the sky.
You forget that they literally haven't seen the sun in 10 days.
Now I feel bad.
After eating this, the thought of that food is like grossing me out even worse.
It is rough. They're starting to talk about whether they should take it.
I don't know what to do. I don't either.
This is a good first one to tempt us with.
Oh no.
Oh, hey Jimmy.
All right, it's time for the decision. Would you pay 50 grand $50,000 to have this for the rest of the challenge.
Nope.
I think we decided no.
Really? I honestly didn't think you guys would say no. No, no, no, no.
Oh my God.
I'll have another offer in 10 days. We'll see if you cave then. I really thought you were going to say yes.
Mm-mm.
That was crazy. Bye.
I'm really curious about what the next temptation is.
I know.
But you know what? I'm proud of us for staying strong.
Good job. And now with the chef gone, it seemed like Suzy and Bailey were already starting to regret their decision.
Bon appétit. My favorite part is that you can hold it sideways and it stays on the plate.
The next few days were pretty mind-numbing for the both of them. Their routine consisted of waking up, cooking food, and then eventually just going back to sleep.
Man, the longer I'm in here, the more I feel like I'm sharing a space with an annoying sibling.
Are you talking about me?
Who else?
And even though they were getting used to each other, one thing they weren't getting used to were the constant beaming lights.
It's just so bright in there. I came to the bathroom because the light, you can keep it off, so it's It's nice and like dark in here.
Once it gets super late at night, I physically feel my eyes stinging just because of how bright the lights are in here.
And because it was so hard for them to get any sleep, I had the perfect offer planned for day 20. Congrats, you're 20% done. Are you two ready for the offer?
Yes. Yeah.
Your day 20 offer is simple. I will give you each a smart bed that are super comfortable and combined will cost $50,000 of your prize money. I will also give you this iPad with the ability to turn off the lights.
Dang.
They have exactly 1 hour to decide if they want to spend $50,000 of their prize money for these beds and the ability to turn off the lights.
The answer might be yes.
I haven't seen Suzy this happy since we literally started the challenge.
Let's remember what we would have to live with if we don't say yes. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
I think they're going to take it.
I think we should. It's only 10% of our money.
It's decision time. Your 1 hour is up. This is what your eyeballs Both could have, but if you say no, this is what you're stuck with for 80 days straight. Do you want these comfortable beds?
I'm actually okay with whatever you say.
5, 4.
Oh my gosh.
3. I'm happy with whatever you say. 2.
Bailey, yes or no?
Bailey, yes or no? 1. What's your decision?
No.
Really? Okay. Whoa. I did not see that one coming.
I think I made a mistake, maybe.
Oh, what a heavy mistake. I cannot believe you guys said no. I'll leave you alone for a couple of days. I hope you don't regret your decision. Bye. Bye.
I think we made the right decision.
I can't believe that in the heat of the moment you said no.
Oh, I feel that slight regret right now.
I don't. I feel no regret in your decision.
So today I made my calendar and I was just writing my mom's birthday. It's going to be tough on that day, I think. I'm so bored.
I think that we're hitting a point where boredom is at like an all-time high. I woke up this morning and didn't feel like doing anything, so I just sat there and stared.
What are you gonna do with this money?
I have a house. I was probably gonna pay a lot on the house.
Oh, that's awesome. I want to pay off my parents' debt. That would be like my ideal world.
Throughout the following days, I made sure to not interrupt the routine. However, I was also taking note of things they missed from the outside world. Like on day 24, when I overheard them wanting seasoning on their food.
Okay, if we had seasoning, I could easily stay here 100 days.
On day 27, Suzy was craving coffee.
I am a big coffee drinker and I only have water.
And on day 28, Bailey clearly needed entertainment.
Doop-a-doop-a-doop-a-doop-a-doop-a-doop.
So by day 30, I had the perfect plan to get them to spend money. It's now day 30 and it's time for another offer. How's it going?
Hi.
Today's offer is simple. Each of these 5 items costs $10,000. You can buy one phone call, the entire Harry Potter collection, your own coffee machine, spices, salt and pepper for your food, or you can buy Monopoly for $10,000. You can buy one of them, you can buy all 5 of them.
This is tough, actually.
You have 10 minutes to decide. Just let me know what you want.
I'm so nervous.
This is a big decision.
Coffee. Ooh, it does sound kind of nice.
It does.
And then the seasoning.
Seasoning sounds nice too. I'm doing this one 1,000%.
I'll be honest. I don't really care about that.
Sick.
Coffee would be nice as like a treat every morning.
I've made my mind up.
Decision time. Are you buying Monopoly? No. Gone. Are you buying the spices? No.
No.
Are you buying the coffee?
Does it come with cream or sugar?
If you say yes in 3 seconds.
Yes.
OK. Yay! Are you buying the Harry Potter books?
Yes. Are you buying the phone calls? No. No.
We finally got you two to buy something. This feels good. It was a pleasure doing business.
Thanks for taking our money.
Most expensive coffee maker in the world.
30 days in, we got something new. That's exciting.
We caved. You're welcome.
That's my closet. That's my bookshelf. I could stay another 70 days easy. And we still have $480,000. It's crazy.
Over the next few days, not a lot happened.
She's already preparing a meal.
It's like being married.
The most interesting thing was when Hurricane Idalia took out the power on day 39. Oh, no way.
No way.
As you can imagine, our cameras became pretty useless. So I'm just going to take you to day 39. How's it going? Hello.
Hi.
Hey. I know you guys have been struggling. I'm sorry it took so long. Hold up. Oh, there we go. That was a long delay. You should be able to use your coffee pot again, cook food. You should have hot shower.
That's excellent.
I'll see you tomorrow with the surprise.
Oh, I'm so excited.
Yay! The power's on! Look, it's light!
Feels like cheerier.
The lights are back on again. I just had a hot meal, hot shower. Life is finally looking up here.
It is now day 40. Can I come in? Come in! Your gift at no expense is this TV, but every single movie is $10,000 a pop. You have 1 hour to decide. Have fun.
This is crazy, the amount of movies.
We can watch this documentary about Nolan.
We left Suzy and Bailey to discuss the offer and told them we'd be back later, but they didn't seem too interested.
How about $10,000 for all of them?
I'll go ahead and tell you now. No.
You might as well just come in here because I think we both are set in our ways.
Okay. The best I could do is buy one, get one half off.
Mm.
Can't do it.
All right, gang, come on in. Take every last one.
I will gladly keep this.
Oh, not any of the Hunger Games? I left the TV in the chamber to remind Suzy and Bailey of what they could have had. But little did I know they were going to outsmart me.
An antenna is just a piece of metal. Rip this little wire off the wall.
Whoa.
So I had to take this knife so that the wire is like frayed. I literally just plugged it into the antenna spot. Now we're going to see if it works. Just anything. Give us one channel.
Oh. What?
It says that there's 7 digital channels.
Oh my gosh.
If this actually works—
Oh!
Wait.
I'm like actually shaking.
Bailey!
Currently, the only thing that we can get on the TV is a race car race. Never really been a fan.
Oh, he's in second!
But today, all of a sudden, we're huge race car fans.
Our time is going to fly by.
And Suzy was right, because for the next 6 days, that's all they did.
Having the TV feels like we're in purgatory. It's like almost normal life.
It is my mom's birthday tomorrow. Even though I won't be able to spend the day with her, I got some time in here to make her a little birthday present. Although I didn't go out and buy something, I'm technically spending money on it. Tomorrow is day 50, so I'm gonna use toilet paper to do streamers and decorate the room.
It's day 50. Oh.
Oh, hey.
So what do you think your surprise is today?
I have no idea.
This one is a very big one. All right, so the offer for day 50 is $20,000 for the both of you to see your families. They're in the other room watching that feed, and they can hear everything we're saying.
Hey, I miss you guys. I love you, and I miss you.
I'll be back in 10 minutes to hear if you're gonna take the offer. Good luck. 10 minutes.
This feels like a pretty easy decision.
What are your thoughts?
Oh my gosh, I don't know.
This might be the only chance chance in this challenge to see them until the end. I think it's a no-brainer, personally. So it's up to you on if we spend the $20 grand for both.
Of course I want to see my parents too. It's killing me. He's a yes and she's a no. Mom, Dad, tell me what to do.
All right. What are you thinking? Where are you guys at?
He's been a yes from the beginning.
As soon as you said it.
About 10 seconds left.
But it's my mom's birthday today. And we're saying yes.
All right. Give me $20,000 and I'll go get them.
Best $10K ever spent, I think.
OK. They paid the $20 grand. Come on in.
I'm so excited. Yeah!
It was a tough decision.
I made you a birthday.
And to celebrate her birthday, we brought a birthday cake. Yes, this is the best tasting thing they've had in forever.
It's little things like that that you don't realize you won't have until you're in it. Bye!
Love you!
Bye!
That's the worst feeling so far. So far, the highest of highs, and now back to our little cube all alone.
Like I said earlier, the things we're offering them are based off of what we're overhearing them talk about in the cube. So you better believe that when Suzy said this—
Probably the only thing I'd say yes to at this point is like if they do Tesla.
You already know on day 60, I knew exactly what to surprise them with. How's it going?
Hi!
Oh hey, first things first, I brought you a giant mystery gift.
Yay!
Do the two of you want $50,000 to keep what's inside of this box.
Hmm.
This is either going to be the best moment of their life or the worst moment. Just give me your answer in an hour.
Great.
All right, thanks. We'll be thinking.
59 minutes remain.
I think we should.
I know. I think it might be worth it.
Imagine it is something great and we said no.
Would it ever be a car?
Well, it could be. It could actually be the keys to a car.
It's not going to be equal to the value that we're spending.
She's right. It's almost 3 times more.
I don't feel confident in the yes.
Then let's say no.
But are you sure?
Yeah, if you're not confident.
I just know they would never do a car.
Yeah, they would.
Really?
Yeah, I feel like they could do anything. Let's just say no.
Wait, now you have me wanting to say yes. Ah. Decision time.
Okay, do you want to spend $50,000 to keep what's inside this box? Yes or no?
No.
Really? What is your answer?
I'm going with no.
Really?
Yeah.
I can't believe you guys didn't take it. Do you want to unlock it?
Sure.
All right, inside is $50,000, so you would have got your money back. And then you want to open up that stack of money, just grab that. Uh, here is a Tesla key for you and a Tesla key for you. I'm so sorry. They would have gotten their money back plus these two Teslas for free.
Oh, I want to cry. Let's close this. That's literally my dream.
We're gonna head out. You leave their beef, thank you.
Bye.
That's wild.
Bailey, they got us Teslas.
I feel like we made the wrong decision.
I'll regret this forever.
Nah.
Yeah, I will. Eh. Oh no, it's all a dream. Eh.
I like my Prius. Okay, there, I said it.
And after getting hit hard by yesterday's offer, Suzy literally whined about the Tesla for 9 days straight.
It's really hard to see the positive in all this. I like actually won't be able to sleep. I'm actually feeling sick right now.
I'm so mad.
Suzy's taking it hard.
And so to make up for it, I made sure this next offer was the best one yet. It's day 70. Today's a big day because this is the last offer. So obviously on day 80, you're going to be like, there's only 20 days left. And on day 90, you're going to be like, why would we spend money? There's 10 days left, correct?
Yeah.
Let me just open the doors.
Oh, God.
No shot you reject this offer. What you see here is everything everything you said no to so far in this challenge. Before I tell them the price tag, I'm going to move everything in here. I'm going to make it as easy as possible for them to say yes. Nolan, Chris, put those by the TV. Oh, as much as I love to bully Nolan, he's just dumb.
Here's a bed. If you guys say no, we have to move all of this back out. Well then give us a good price.
What you are considering buying is these two $30,000 beds, a brand new mystery box. This one doesn't have $50 grand inside, it has something anything else?
Sounds like $25,000.
One phone call each, Spice's Monopoly, every single movie in the Walmart movie aisle, and lastly, the cook you said no to.
Oh, there is a plate of food.
I see a lot of good food.
And to remind you how good it is, here's some chicken Alfredo.
That looks so good.
It's time to find out how much this will cost you. Behind these curtains is a number. If you bid higher than that number, you get everything here for the rest of the challenge. But if you say $1, one penny lower, you get nothing. I'll give you an hour to figure out your bid.
I'm thinking, what if it's like way low and they want us to say $150 grand?
I think if we bid $75,000, that would be too little. They're thinking at least $100K.
I actually feel like we should go a little bit lower because we were prepared to say no to it.
That's true. But are you prepared to walk away with nothing?
And while they're deciding what to do, I want to tell you about the Shop app. The Shop app is the best way to shop on your phone, and it's completely free. It'll basically look at everything you're interested in and recommend you products you love.
This is the only wild card because we know what beds are and we know what movies are. We don't know what's in here.
I have a feeling I want whatever's inside.
It's actually a third contestant.
Woo!
And when you're ready to buy, you can speed through checkout using Shop Pay.
Let's do this. $80,101. Because it's day 70, I don't want to go under $70,000. I feel like this gives us space.
I get what you're saying, but imagine that was the reason why we didn't end up getting all this. This, I would be so sad.
Shop App will even track all your packages in one place so you'll know exactly when they'll arrive for the holidays.
$100,100.
Yeah, it's not really that much damage.
Okay, this is the one.
Ready?
Official.
All right, we're flipping it. I hope we get it.
Let the Shop App AI assistant scan hundreds of millions of products all over the Shop App to recommend the perfect gifts for this holiday season. Time is What's the number? Let me see it. Before you do, make sure you download the Shop app right now if you haven't already. I explained all the benefits of it. It's a beautiful, amazing app. Download the Shop app. OK, what is your bid? If it's $1 below mine, you get nothing.
$100,101.
Chandler, reveal it.
$69,000. Ah! We did it! Yes!
You overpaid by $30.
I don't care. We did some good!
Yo, this is the most excited I've been so far.
Oh my gosh. In this mystery box, which I did clarify was different. It's two smaller Teslas.
No, I love this.
I'll be teaming up with the Shop App to grant thousands of wishes this holiday season. I'll tell you more about it at the end of the video.
Our room feels drastically different right now.
It's a dream.
We now have so many things to do. It's like a vacation.
It's an investment for sure.
I think it was well worth $100,000.
You may think, oh, the challenge is over now, but one of them may lose everything. You'll see on day 99 what I'm talking about.
Oh my God, this is crazy.
Now you would think that getting all this stuff would make both of them a lot happier, but strangely enough, the opposite actually started to happen.
One thing I took for granted on the outside was a hot shower that I also did not share with anyone. The hot water tank here runs out so quickly, and Bailey always showers before me, so I've been stuck showering with cold water for honestly a couple months now.
We've been playing the same Monopoly game for like 7 days because Suzy refuses to play. Like, I— maybe she just hates board games.
I think we need to take like 3 days and cram as many movies as we can.
All she ever does is read or watch movies.
We gotta have like a movie marathon.
So whenever I'm like, can we just finish that game? She's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, and then it never ends up happening. It's impossible to get her to focus.
Hey, do you want to watch The Notebook later?
No, I don't want to watch The Notebook later. We just spent the last like I spent like 25 minutes trying to choose a movie, and Suzy, what did you say you're about to go do?
Shower. Sorry.
She literally does this all the time. Yep.
Bailey is wired right now. This happens literally every morning. He is just nonstop so energetic all the time. I just had to come in here, 'cause I can't go anywhere else.
That's a rave right there.
Bailey, it's 3 AM.
Yeah, but sometimes you gotta rave. It's, it's, it's time.
Get me out of here.
You're the worst.
Do you wanna play Monopoly?
Mm, nah.
Do you know where the dice are?
Yeah. I hid them. 'Cause you keep asking me to play, so I was like, maybe if I just hide them, then we'll never be able to play. Your toes look so long. No, that's sickening.
My dogs are barking.
Ew. I would like to be saved. Mom, I'm ready to leave.
Even though at this point they could hardly stand each other, with the end so close, they set their differences aside and counted down the days.
4 days left.
3.
And Bailey, well—
It's going to be—
really couldn't wait to walk out those doors.
I wasn't in the middle of saying anything.
All right. Day 99. For me, it feels like it's been honestly an entire year. I can't imagine what they're feeling.
I have to brush my teeth one more time.
Ever.
Um.
24 hours remain.
This many?
Yes. So this is the first second of the challenge when you both walked in.
Oh my gosh.
How is that us? I feel like I look like a fetus in that.
Come on in, gentlemen. Set it up right above the door.
Oh, this is so exciting.
You officially have 24 hours left in the challenge. Don't forget what I said. We got a fun twist for tomorrow.
I'm scared.
Do you think they'll still be friends after this? Depends what their answer is tomorrow.
I'm worried that it's going to be double or nothing.
He's so, like, quiet about it.
You can't guess.
Yeah.
And with their final night coming to an end, it was time to present them with an opportunity to double their money.
Well, hey, everyone.
This is chaotic.
What is going on?
I don't know.
This is—
Big boy. I want to help, but not really.
They're literally just taking everything.
Do you know what these are?
Those are our blindfolds from the first day.
That was quick.
I remember like it was yesterday.
If you would both please put them back on. Let's see if they want to double their money.
Gang! Oh my gosh, my heart is actually beating out of my chest.
100 days ago, they were strangers. 1 hour ago, they were best friends. Let's see if they become total enemies. Bailey and Suzie, take your blindfolds off. So you might be familiar with what we're about to offer you. You each have the choice to split the money and nothing changes. You both hit split, you just split it, keep what you have. Or if you hit steal, you can steal the other person's money. And if you both hit steal, you would get nothing. Suzy has earplugs in and noise cancellation headphones on top of them. She can't hear us. What's going through your head?
I I don't even like know, Susie, if you pit steal, I can't imagine. What do you say to somebody that steals $180,000, whatever?
Maybe you get ahead of it and you steal it. Fair.
Did you hear that? Bailey actually might. Bailey might.
All right, throw the music back in his ears. What if while we were over there he was like, oh, this is a no-brainer, it's too much money.
We would never speak again.
You guys have become like such close friends.
I don't know, you get to know anyone and when you've gone through the same same thing and like how hard this challenge has been. We both deserve half for sure. But now you make me nervous, like I could do it too.
Whoa, what did she just say?
Maybe it'll be a case of you think you know someone.
I don't know.
If both of them press the steal button, they literally spent 100 days in this room together for absolutely nothing.
There's 30 seconds left in the challenge. At the very last second, I want you both to place your vote. Do you want to walk away with $360 grand or half of it? No one speak. Carl and Chris, you two don't talk either.
I know that Suzy's gonna split, but the thought of walking away with almost $360,000, that could do so much.
Do you want to split the money or steal it?
The fact that I entered this challenge knowing that there would be pretty dark times ahead and I still overcame all those things, there's no price you could put on that.
No way. If the room turns red, then someone stole. If the room turns green, then you split the money. You both chose split. Yay!
Yay!
Congratulations on surviving! Here you go. Here's your money. And both of y'all here— And like I said earlier in the video, don't forget to download the Shop app. If you go on my store in the Shop app, you can tell me whatever you want for the holiday, and I'm going to make them fill in thousands of wishes.
You can say like a Tesla.
Yu-Gi-Oh cards, Beast Mold bars, doesn't matter. Thank you, Shop App. I appreciate you so much. And as always, let's blow this place up.
