I can't believe this happened

0:09 Come over here.

0:13 I'm here in Greenville, North Carolina.

0:15 If you don't know anything about Greenville, North Carolina, that's Mr.

0:18 Beast's hometown.

0:18 He flew me and my family out here.

0:21 We're going to meet him tomorrow.

0:23 Yeah, this is Greenville.

0:24 Look at this.

0:26 Look at this.

0:27 It's beautiful.

0:27 just I didn't know they had parking lots here.

0:31 I don't know what's Anyway, yes, we're going to meet Mr.

0:35 Beast tomorrow.

0:36 We're excited.

0:36 Okay, so little backstory.

0:38 Mr.

0:39 Beast aka Jimmy Donaldson just sends me a DM on Twitter.

0:42 Honestly, I didn't think it was really him,

0:44 but after a back and forth and then after

0:47 literally talking to him on the phone, it was Jimmy.

0:49 So, here we are a couple months later

0:52 and we're going to collaborate tomorrow on a video.

0:54 And like I said, my whole family's here.

0:56 here.

0:57 They're filming.

0:58 My daughter's filming right now.

1:00 This is a little bit of a behind the scenes.

1:05 Oh, you're still filming.

1:13 Good morning.

1:14 How can I help you?

1:15 Please wave while we transfer.

1:16 Yes, I have a scheduled uh tour at 11:00 a.m.

1:22 Uh name is Matt Beat.

1:24 Okay.

1:26 for you.

1:30 Okay, we are here at Mr.

1:31 Beast Studios.

1:32 Pretty cool that he has this giant complex.

1:34 And I need to constantly keep reminding all of us this.

1:38 He's the world's biggest YouTuber.

1:40 No one has ever been more successful on the platform than him.

1:44 No one ever probably will surpass him either.

1:47 We're going to go in and they said we could film anything we wanted

1:50 except for sets that were for upcoming videos which they'll let us know about.

1:58 Let's go.

1:59 Come on.

2:01 These are all the world records from Beast Game season one.

2:05 Okay.

2:05 Yeah.

2:05 So, they're really funny.

2:07 If you look at a couple, they're really there's some that you're like,

2:10 "What in the world?" And there's some funny.

2:13 So this is the 100 million and then

2:17 we were obviously the first to hit 200 million.

2:20 So everybody at YouTube's like, "Wait, this don't exist." Yeah.

2:22 So they made us this one.

2:24 And then they were like,

2:25 "I guess we should like start making more." So this is the 200 300 here.

2:29 And then we hit 400, which is the one we just got,

2:33 but obviously we're very close to 500.

2:36 One out of every 16 humans on the planet are subscribed to Mr.

2:42 Beast.

2:53 Heat.

2:57 Heat.

3:22 Oh my gosh, you guys.

3:25 We made it.

3:26 Yeah.

3:27 It's a little bit bigger than my studio.

3:31 Are these doors going to open?

3:36 is like Oh my gosh, I feel like I'm at an Air Force base.

3:46 We did ages 1 to 100.

3:47 We had the soccer bit here.

3:49 We had the hold your weight in the middle

3:51 and then we had dodgeball on the far side.

3:56 It lets us do more.

3:59 Yeah.

4:04 Stop.

4:07 Stop.

4:09 Oh, sorry.

4:15 You're filming the wrong way.

4:23 All right.

4:24 Peace.

4:24 Peaceful is enough on Instacart.

4:25 And to celebrate, we're going to order it from two different drivers.

4:29 Whoever shows up first, we're going to tip a bunch of money.

4:31 Mine's getting here first.

4:32 Let the games begin.

4:34 All right.

4:35 You want to get over the shoulder?

4:38 Well, don't order it now.

4:40 Check out this.

4:47 All right.

4:48 Ready?

4:49 Three.

4:50 Wait, they didn't ask.

4:52 All right.

4:53 Ready?

4:54 Three, two, one.

4:56 Okay, they're on the way.

4:59 Let's see who comes first.

5:01 The bottom line has already been used by I'm going about I hire a film crew.

5:08 He just spawns film the glasses.

5:10 Do you guys have the glasses to see?

5:11 We do.

5:12 Okay.

5:12 So, we brought glasses for you.

5:13 They're like the blue light protector fake

5:15 glasses just like these in early 2004.

5:18 And then you say on camera when I was 6 years old.

5:22 Yeah.

5:23 And then you go back to the a name named Jared Kareem.

5:27 Jawed Kareem.

5:28 That's the hard Jed Kareem.

5:29 Uh couldn't find two videos online.

5:31 Janet Jackson Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction and footage of a recent tsunami.

5:36 Honestly, my mom didn't let me watch it either.

5:39 What?

5:39 What are you doing?

5:41 I'm making a history video about YouTube.

5:43 This is my channel.

5:44 I'm Mr.

5:45 Beat.

5:45 You're Mr.

5:46 Beast.

5:46 Remember the the only thing that separates us is a measly s.

5:51 But all three of them had just made good money

5:53 at PayPal and they kept landing on the same idea.

5:56 Video sharing shouldn't be this hard.

5:58 Fast forward to Valentine's Day 2004 in Hurley's garage.

6:02 That lesson was perfect.

6:03 Cool.

6:04 When I was a six-year-old.

6:06 When I was 6 years old.

6:08 You talk probably a little slower than me, so maybe I should talk slower.

6:12 When I was 6 years old.

6:13 That would be funny.

6:14 Okay.

6:14 Go ahead and start with making a history video about YouTube.

6:17 I'm I'm making a history video about YouTube.

6:20 Uh, but but this is my channel.

6:23 I'm Mr.

6:24 Beat.

6:24 You're Mr.

6:25 Beast, remember?

6:25 Yeah, but the difference is only an S.

6:28 Like, are we going to act like that's a big deal?

6:31 We are, if I can't remember what I'm going to say after.

6:35 Funny enough, Karine's original pitch was actually to make it a dating site,

6:39 kind of hot or not style, but clearly that didn't pan out.

6:44 Okay, so now I'll have you stand a little bit over there.

6:49 Make sure you're still in the frame.

6:52 Oh, you're helping.

6:53 All right, I can't wait to read the comments.

6:56 Please stop that.

6:57 Am I like kind of agitated?

6:58 I don't remember.

6:59 Like uploaded to YouTube.

7:00 Oh, now it has Oh, I'm I'm going to say this part.

7:05 So, it's about the um Yeah, you're refreshing the views on the first video.

7:10 Yeah.

7:10 And I'm just like, please stop that.

7:13 Yeah, please stop that.

7:14 To this day, I still make most of my money from YouTube ad revenue.

7:21 What about you?

7:23 Mhm.

7:23 I know that to this day,

7:26 I still make most of my revenue from YouTube ad revenue.

7:33 What about you?

7:35 I don't.

7:36 Sponsorships, you know, I sell some products.

7:41 Yeah, I figured.

7:43 Yeah.

7:43 Uh, well, I I get that many views a minute, brag about it.

7:52 I just keep walking off.

7:54 So, how old were you in 2006?

7:57 I just turned 8 years old.

7:59 Is that eight fingers?

8:01 I thought you did seven figures.

8:03 Oh, no.

8:04 Not that dumb.

8:05 Okay.

8:05 I I'll just like turn to you and then like as like what do you think?

8:11 I can't believe this all started with a Okay, gotcha.

8:14 I can't believe all this started with a wardrobe malfunction.

8:19 History is weird, man.

8:22 You can say that again.

8:25 All right.

8:26 Yeah.

8:26 Easy peasy.

8:27 Thank you so much.

8:28 That That's really it.

8:29 That was too easy.

8:30 The ultimate American presidential election book.

8:33 Educate John each president.

8:36 Every election presidential election.

8:45 I'm back in Kansas now and I just

8:47 had some final thoughts about Jimmy Donaldson aka Mr.

8:50 Beast.

8:50 First of all, it was really nice of him

8:52 and his team to let us collaborate with him.

8:55 They didn't have to do that.

8:56 We are a very small channel compared to his his channel.

9:00 Now, that said, when I first posted on the socials about meeting up with Mr.

9:04 Beast and collaborating with him, there were some mixed reactions.

9:07 About half the comments were excited.

9:10 They were encouraging.

9:11 They're like, "Oh, that's really cool.

9:12 You got to meet Mr.

9:13 Beast and you're collaborating with him." But the other half were like,

9:16 "Why are you hanging out with that evil monster?" And so,

9:19 I figured I'd address that here in this video.

9:22 I don't think that Mr.

9:23 Beast is an evil monster.

9:24 Now, I'm saying that as a biased person.

9:27 He was very kind to me.

9:28 He was down to earth and really good with my family and generous with his time,

9:34 generous with hosting uh us in Greenville, North Carolina.

9:39 Had his folks give us a tour of his complex.

9:42 We saw filming sites of upcoming videos.

9:44 I mean, I'm biased to think that he's great because he treated us really well.

9:50 Okay.

9:51 Indeed, Mr.

9:52 Beast has not been able to avoid controversy in recent years.

9:58 Yeah.

9:59 Yeah.

10:00 Oh, that one too.

10:02 Okay.

10:03 Yeah.

10:04 I have to acknowledge that he has made mistakes.

10:07 He would probably admit that as well.

10:08 And I'm not going to defend every mistake that Mr.

10:11 Beast made, but I think one reason why

10:13 he's made mistakes is because he's so dang ambitious.

10:16 You know, he shoots for the sky.

10:18 He spends all his money to make as much money as possible.

10:22 But I think the reason why he wants to make

10:25 as much money as possible is probably just as important.

10:28 He wants to help as many people as possible.

10:30 I think he really does.

10:32 And I got to think that both can be true.

10:35 He can make mistakes, but also mean well and be a nice person.

10:39 So, I'll just leave it at that.

10:41 Let me know in the comments though how you really feel.
