This is a penny! Oh, and my fingernail fell off. I turned a penny into a thousand dollars in high school; however, I used things like the internet, my car, and my low self-esteem, and it took me 40 days.

Well, today I only have 24 hours and this bike and my phone, and still, still the low self-esteem as well. It all starts right now. Now, start the clock!

I think I know a place where we're gonna find a quarter. Fingers crossed! I tried riding this thing.

Dang it, dude! There's a quarter stuck in this machine! I tried riding this thing when I spent a week here.

Look at that quarter stuck in there! All right, I'm just gonna plan B. Hey, guys, not to be a freak, but is there anything I can do to earn some money today?

All right, maybe I should be a little more intentional with my question. Do any of you guys have a pen, by chance? A pen?

Can I possibly buy it off you for a penny? Sure! Beautiful!

Are you sure? Yeah, it's a Sharpie. Okay, thank you!

You started a revolution, dude! That's nice! This is the best pen you'll ever own.

Might be! Actually, this is a good pen. Dude, look at that bubble bust!

All right, guys, so we started at 10:30 a. m. exactly.

Ignore the lock screen, please. Fourteen minutes down, we already have a pen. We're doing good!

We're doing really good! Best pen in this town right here, guys! One dollar!

I think that's the exact place I sold the man a pen last time, 69 days ago. This man bought a pen from me for a dollar. Now, in the exact same location, this woman will be my target.

Howdy! I got nervous; I think I'm just gonna reveal the goal to the next person. Ma'am, sir, I'm trying to make a thousand dollars today.

Mark my words, I'm going to sell this next to this next person. Are you guys in the market for a pen? One dollar?

No worries! Best pen in Fredericksburg! All right, no worries!

Y'all have a great day! Take care! Howdy, y'all.

I'm in an entrepreneurship class; they're making us try to sell a pen. I'm not a good salesman, which is why I'm so uncomfortable right now. It's the Sharpie; it's a good network!

You have this one already? You wanna make it two? One dollar!

A dollar! I guarantee you it's going to last until it doesn't! Dollar McDonald's!

All right, thank you, Miss Johnson! I proved you wrong! Let's go!

Thank you, guys, so much! All right, I don't know anyone named Miss Johnson. The hardest part is behind us, guys!

Party people, we have a dollar! It's time to go home! [Music] Made it home!

I'm so thirsty! So I walk into Dollar General with, generally, a dollar. Anyway, I'm very confident in my next money-making method, and all I really need to buy is ribbon.

Because I didn't specify fully before, but anything that I bought during the last penny challenge—this bike, this basket, these markers, paper, cooler—everything that I bought is free reign for me to use today. But I lost the ribbon that I bought, so I'm using this last dollar on it. I'm just really hoping that Dollar General eradicates my tax again, and what do you know?

They did! Once again, Dollar General decimates the federal government! It's—how do they do it?

How do they do it? So now I'm here at my trustworthy spot! I'm gonna make another sign, and we're gonna make some dough!

We're gonna make absolute racks! That's the plan! [Music] What do you call fish with no eyes?

Howdy, y'all! So, why do dads typically bring extra socks to the golf course? In case they get a hole in one!

These are dad jokes! They're like such a freak just walking up to a child… Wait, no way! Little did I know this child was actually the richest man in the entire city!

His name? Quinn! Quinn, no way, dude!

How's it going? Dude, I'm freaking telling jokes! Do you realize what you did?

Did you watch the video? Yes? Wait, what's happening?

What's happening? Hey, take the change! Take the change!

You're giving me this $20. Dude, you freaking rock! Let's go!

Who is that guy? What's your name? Do you have a dollar?

Oh my gosh! Let's do rock-paper-scissors! You turned my dream to reality!

Now you have the chance to demolish my dreams today! All right, dude, here we go! Ready?

Rock, paper, scissors, shoot! Whoa! All right, all right!

Rock, paper, scissors, shoot! Let's go! I just—I just won!

I won your money! Thank you! I feel terrible, Quinn!

My guy, you're not gonna eat this? No? Okay, onion rings!

Dang, dude! Boom! Thank you for the onion rings and the dollar!

If you see me around, come beat me up or something! I took your money! I'll see you later!

That was so nice! He just gave us his food! I don't know if you guys can see, but it's 12:34.

Two hours in, I have two dollars. We got a dollar an hour right now! Once we make a good amount of money from this, I know exactly how we're gonna make a fortune.

Oh yeah, there it is! Bet I can make you laugh! Anyone?

So we're telling jokes, guys! Did you hear the bad news about the calendars? I heard their days are numbered!

Make your belly laugh for a dollar, guys! Okay, I love this! A belly laugh is a big statement!

Belly laughing is like I can't breathe for that! All right, let's go! What did the—what did the janitor say whenever he jumped out of the— The closet supplies.

[Music] That was close! What did the pirates say when he turned 80 years old? "I'm eighty!

" No, no, no; the general janitor is better. What do you call fish with no eyes? Okay, that was a pity laughter.

What does a mermaid wash their fins with? Tide! Die!

I'm writing that down. Take care; I'm really writing that down. Why do dads typically bring an extra pair of socks to the golf course?

In case they get a hole in one! Dang it, dude! How much does a chimney cost?

Nothing; it's on the house! Oh goodness gracious! Thank you so much, sir!

Thank you; I appreciate it. I only know 25 letters of the alphabet. I don't know why.

Uh, what do you call fish with no eyes? So, I asked my dog, "What's two minus two? " He said nothing.

He didn't say anything because he's a dog. All right, jokes, guys, but I can make you laugh! All right, lol.

Where did the baguette—where did the banana go to learn how to split? Do the splits? Sunday school!

No, no, no, no, no! Why don't eggs tell each other jokes all the time? Why?

Because they'd crack up! OMG, you're a joke! All right, I think he literally said, "But would you like to laugh?

" All right, what is green and has wheels? Grass! I lied about the wheels.

Laughter, guys! Telling jokes, lol. I guess I am the joke.

Where did the boxer go whenever he wanted to weaken his opponent? I mean, I'm gonna do a different one. What did the vowel say to the consonant when he owed him some money?

"I owe you! " All right, guys, appreciate that! Y'all—did you just say "have?

" I said "y'all. " Have! Why didn't the bicycle stand up by itself?

Why? It was too tired! Thank you very much!

Hey, really appreciate that, dude! What a terrible first impression! What happens when you go to France in the bathroom or when you go to the bathroom in France?

European! Okay, get your dollar out. Okay, all right.

Oh, they're gonna be in there! Okay, okay, I got to get my best one out for you. Here we go!

All right, so pirates! We love them! We love pirates!

I mean, not really; they're kind of bad people! What did the pirates say when you turned 80 years old? "I'm eighty!

" Okay, hey dude, okay, thank you, sir! Why do dads typically bring an extra pair of socks to the golf course? What?

In case they have a hole in one! I have got to try this bet. Okay, all right, dude, I'm a nervous idea.

Thank you so much! What's the deal here? What do we do?

I mean, you didn't have to give me the dollar yet; I have some faith in you! Okay, okay, all right, I'm 18. I gotcha!

What does the mermaid wash its fins with? Tide! You're going to tell her?

Oh, thank you so much! What do you call a fish with no eyes? Laughter, chuckles, giggles!

Why do vampires seem like they're always sick? Because they're always coughing! Coughing!

Another one, I got you! Okay, thank you so much! How do penguins build their houses?

It glues it together! She's always as an air joke! Okay, so you're in France?

What happens when you go in the bathroom? European! Thank you so much.

Oh, that's amazing! I appreciate you guys! I really appreciate you!

Thank you so much! That was really nice—five dollars and some change. While I'm not surviving on the penny, I still need to eat!

You already know where I'm going. [Music] Don't take us there; I'll go in there. [Music] Are these shots worth it?

Honestly! [Music] Is it even worth the— [Music] We made it to McDonald's! Can I get a chicken with no lettuce and a large water?

Unfortunately, our homegirl Iris is not here. Very sad! I actually passed through here on a road trip like two weeks ago, and she was here, and I said hi to her.

We took a picture and everything. Iris, if you're watching this: I love you, we miss you! I'm convinced that we will break 100—big one, 100—using this next money-making method, and in order to do that, we need to go to Walmart.

[Music] Oh yeah! [Music] It's soda time! You see this?

Two dollars a drink! Last time I didn't sell waters; this type of selling water—it's not that crazy of an innovation or anything. Time check!

Goodness, dude, it's 4:07. We've been doing this for five and a half hours, which means we have what—18 and a half hours left! This is still a lot—still a lot of time!

I'm very confident in this. It's very hot today; hopefully, the people of Fredericksburg are thirsty! [Music] Where's everyone?

Ice cold drinks! Colder than a polar bear's toenails! Oh, I've got water!

Oh yeah, thank you, sir! I appreciate you! Ice cold drinks!

All right, so the science—I'm so sorry, guys! Thank you so much; I appreciate you guys! Oh, sir, thank you so much!

Appreciate you guys! Drnks, guys! Colder than when you get out of the shower without your towel!

Cold drinks! Cold drinks! Ice cream!

Oh yeah! We're trying! Sorry, guys!

Ice cold drinks! Ice cold drinks! Dude, yes, of course!

Can I get a spot? Absolutely! A sprite?

Absolutely! The awkwardness of these crosswalks is so intense; they're all just looking at it. I feel like—what's your sign?

Ice cold drinks! Fur freezing! These drinks are so cold, guys!

Like, so cold! Potential frostbite while holding these cans! Guys, these are cold drinks!

Cold drinks! Selling ice cold drinks! My forearms about to fall off!

Ice cold drinks! No worries! Wait, what?

Sorry to interrupt the programming. Um, this is a big moment for me. "Things in a Room" is open!

I've been trying to break into this place for months now. Let me in, "Things in a Room! " I have to go in there, dude.

Okay, you watch this. I'm going to go inside and investigate. Let's see what this is all about.

Hello! Hi! Welcome, thank you!

Wait, oh no, you're a dragon! Everybody calm down! Toss me that pair of high heels; trust me!

Do not go in there! Ice cold drinks, guys! Colder than my ex-wife's heart!

Sorry, you guys. Bang! Ice cold drinks!

Bling blah! That's how you fix that! Ice cold drink: two dollars!

Don't get too close, guys; it's cold! Oh my gosh, let's go! You are incredible!

Here you go, beautiful. Thank you! I'm acting like I'm British.

"Orsco drinks"? That's not British! Have you ever been in a room full of people and felt so alone?

Howdy! I'll take a spray. Okay, thank you so much!

I appreciate you guys! Ice cold drinks! Mmm, oh yeah!

So this is me selling drinks rapidly, and this is me panicking because I got a new breath sorter, but my audio isn't working. [Music] Thank you so much; I appreciate it! You too, take care!

This woman literally only got drinks. Doesn't she know I'm selling them downtown? Like, I'm sure she's a sweet lady, but dude, Heather W!

Come on! My quads are on fire! My quads are combusting right now!

The sheer inflammation in my quadriceps—don't get me wrong, I love this bike so much, but I'm so scared that at any moment, it's just going to completely disintegrate. I swear, this wheel is wobbling! Dominoes!

This town is so pretty; I actually love it here. Which way do I go? These are actually the widest roads in the state, no, country!

Screw it, universe! Holy smokes! Dudes are massive!

I have cramps in both my butt cheeks right now, both left and right. I'm on my way, Heather! Take care, appreciate it!

I'll have a good one! All right, back to the drinks. See how much we made from that Uber?

That was, like, an hour. Yeah, that was actually probably a bad choice. Not a good use of time; not efficient.

My buns are toast! Talking about my butt cheeks. Talking about, man, four dollars and twenty-four cents for about an hour.

Regardless, they might tip; they might leave a midsize tip. Don't ever do that again! Yeah, that's the turn.

Don't—don't do this. They literally only order drinks. I wouldn't tip much if there's only drinks, but they did come in, you know, in their fullness.

A little bit spilled, a little bit spilled. All right, let's go, and the night is out! Ice cold drinks, guys!

I didn't mean to mess up your rhythm; I'm sorry! Ice cold drinks! Freezing!

You got water? I got water! I'm talking freezing cold!

All righty! Are you serious? Thank you so much, sir!

I appreciate it! Like, five drinks worth! Holy smokes!

Sorry, what's your name? No? Calvin?

I really appreciate you! I'm naming my first son Calvin! Oh my gosh!

Hey, guys, I'm just going to show you what it feels like when people walk past me and don't say anything when I'm selling drinks. Now imagine a world where you're saying you're the person—you, watching this, are the person selling sodas! Okay?

Water, Coke, Sprite—mmm, the best freezing cold drinks right here! Yeah, thank you! Switch it around!

Oh goodness! Thank you so much! I appreciate it!

Oh, it's five! Here you go! Are you sure?

Thank you so much! What do you got there, buddy? I got some good stuff!

Oh, I'll have to get that cold! All right, well, I got a Christmas—oh, thank you so much! It's great!

All right, oh yes, sir! Appreciate you guys! I'll make it easy for you!

Oh, beautiful! Okay, there we go! Thank you!

Thanks so much! I appreciate it! It's a fire sale!

Dude, I think that actually means discount. That's not the case. Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm all right. Did you hurt yourself? I'm good, I'm good, I'm good!

All right, he has one of your drinks. You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain! I feel terrible!

They were so very sweet; they were so genuinely concerned! They felt so bad for me! I feel terrible!

I can't even look over there. They held me up! What's up, man?

How you doing? It's pretty good! I don't—I don't want a drink; I'll just give you—serious!

Yeah, bro, thank you so much! Oh, thank you so much! I appreciate you guys!

I have another freaking UberEats order! Frick, should I go do it? Head to your pickup at Dairy Queen?

Oh, I got a three-dollar tip! Last time, I made seven bucks! It'd probably almost be dark by the time I finished.

I'm sorry; Chuck, it is 6:43 p. m. , which means I've been doing this for over eight hours now!

Eight hours and thirteen minutes! That means we have about fifteen hours and forty-seven minutes left! I don't even know; that's so much time!

Howdy! No wonder we're not getting any sales! Dude, free beer!

Is there really free beer in there? You're kidding! Trying to sell drinks out here?

You got fifty—holy smokes, man! I wish I had some change, man! Hey, no worries; I appreciate the thought!

Dude, those guys that only carry like fifties and hundreds? Ballers! Dude, the temperature is just like pulling off, which makes me less valuable!

Yes! Thank you so much! You're amazing!

That was nice; that was efficient! Then our friend with only a fifty-dollar bill came back. I have Coke and.

. . Sprite?

Okay, I'll take a Sprite. Yeah, you keep the rest; you're working hard. Are you serious?

Yeah, or just keep it, man. You're kidding me, dude. I'm a hug—oh my gosh, dude, thank you!

What's your name? Fabian? Baby, this is awesome!

Fabian and Ashley, you guys just made my day. Baby and Ashley, I'll take care—wow, thank you so much, bro! What?

Are you serious? Oh my gosh, bro, what the heck, dude? I appreciate it, man.

Bro, what? Oh my gosh, dude, that is crazy! That is actually insane what just happened!

Fabian, what are you doing, my guy? What a good guy like that! That makes my heart flutter.

That is crazy, Fabian! I'm gonna find a way to contact him and give him another hug. I'm not gonna stop smiling for a while.

I'm getting 'Fabian' tattooed on my butt! Time to count. Goodness gracious, you know how much money I have?

I don’t, so let me just count this again. Fabian, what a nice man in the world—I met him! Oh my gosh, I feel like a freaking rapper right now, dude!

We have another $20! Holy smokes! 50, 70, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100!

Thirty, 123, 134, 135, 136, 137—we have some change as well, uh, 85 cents. Oh, I also have seven dollars in Uber Eats. Ice cold drinks, guys!

All right, are you raising money for something? Central Texas Food Bank? I did a series here like two months ago; we raised $50,000 for them, so like 200,000 meals!

Yeah, my audience is awesome; it's so crazy. That's all them, not me, but I appreciate you guys! Y'all have a good one.

You guys killed it, by the way; that was so crazy! I have ten dollars for you! Oh my goodness, but I only want like two sodas.

Okay, good, I have change. You want both of them? Are you guys like the most charitable family in America?

That's awesome! Thank you so much, Emma! I'm sorry!

And then the sweetest Colombian family came up to me—go for it, whatever you want! They're so cute! Are they twins?

Twins? Oh, that's so cute! Thank you so much; I appreciate it!

Grab whatever for free—yeah, go for it! Yeah, free. Oh, are you sure?

You get change for you? No, it's okay. What?

Okay—no, are you serious? Oh my gosh, thank you so much, thank you! Grab whatever you want; she just gave me a $20!

So you guys are so fun! Bye! Bro, what is happening right now?

Where am I? Am I in heaven? Awesome, thank you so much!

Y'all are awesome! See y'all, take care! Take care!

We just sold all of the drinks—dump it out! Bro, is this the inaugural dump? It is time for the highly anticipated dump!

There's a dollar in there! You're really gonna do it for Fabian? That is so cool, dude!

I feel like I just won the Super Bowl. Oh, why did I do that? I have so much more to do.

I don't know why I did that! [Music] Today has been so much fun; this is crazy! [Music] They had me in the first half, I'm not gonna lie.

I don't know; it's dark outside. Also, I'm not just some freak who keeps all the lights off in the hotel room, okay? It is 11:50 p.

m. at night. It's been a long day—done!

It's been a long day, I needed that. Look, it's dark outside, but I'm lit! Let's cut that out!

I traded in some of our money, so we have $100 now, which is just—I feel so cool! Right now, in this moment, I feel so cool! We have $191.

24! That's crazy! But the goal is still to make a thousand, so I'm logging on; I'm getting on my computer!

Let's do it! I already drank this whole energy! Okay, so we're over halfway done!

I think we have—dang! What? Wait, hold up!

Dang! We've got 10 hours and 21 minutes left, so we're over halfway done, and I am about 20% of the way to a thousand dollars! Trying to find ways to make money online!

I could donate plasma and earn up to $900, and just finish the challenge tomorrow morning, but what even is that? What even am I? What is plasma?

The obvious assessment of my situation is, like, if it was so easy to make $800 from midnight to 10 a. m. every, I mean, everyone would do it!

Tired? No, I'm not sorry everyone! I'm going back!

Trying to figure out how to make other other money! Start drop shipping, affiliate marketing, start a YouTube channel, one day become an influencer. It's gross!

Create an app! I have 10 hours! Stephanie, you know what?

I'll be back when I have something! When I figure something out, okay? I'm not gonna waste your time!

I'm not gonna lie—I spent like an hour trying to figure something out! Really, maybe should have had a plan? Can't figure out anything that wouldn’t compromise my inherent morals as a human, so, uh, I don't know!

I don't know! All I know is I need to stay awake—I need to figure something out because time is of the essence and I cannot fall asleep! I fell asleep!

I spent like two more hours filming and trying to figure out how to make money online, but everything was just scammy or gambling or it would take like a week. So I feel like the last 24 hours taught me a big lesson! Huge!

Excuse me, ma'am, can I give you this six dollars? You sure? Yeah?

Okay, no worries! Humanity's still humanity; we don't trust each other! Yo, what's up?

Can I give you this? I need to. .

. Give you this money? I'm gonna give you this money so you can have it.

Take care, bro. You know Fabian and that sweet Colombian family, and so many other people literally didn't have to do what they did. They were so generous and nice.

Hey, sir, here's $15. Hey, no worries. It's almost harder to get people to take my money than it is to take it from them.

I am—how's it going, dude? Let's do it, man! Can I give you $15 as well?

Yeah, sure! I got you, man. [Music] I never formally said this on the channel, but the fact that we raised $50,000 for my local food bank through this penny thing just blows my mind, and I'm just so inspired by you guys.

I'm so proud of you guys. You might want this $20. Yes, there's no catch, I promise!

All right, have a good day! Hey guys, I'm trying to give away $20 right now. Anybody want $20?

Let's take it! We gave away the $20. We live in a—what's the cash society?

A guy named [name] gave me this $50 bill. He told me to give it to someone else. Sure!

All right, man. Cheers! Thanks, absolutely!

Have a great day. It's from Fabian. All right, all right!

Guys, next up we have the hundred. My mom told me that you sold a pen yesterday. I did!

You sold me the pen? Yeah, I bought the pen. Premiere!

I ended up making almost $200 yesterday, and she told me, "What's the cost? " Yeah, I'm just giving it away, and this is the last hundred dollars. So you just made a good investment.

Turning $0.01 Into $1,000 in 24 Hours
