Beast games is not a normal show JC was greedy to take the 650 no no don't tell them what they want to hear tell them the truth yes the juicy stuff so this is not going to be a normal reunion Dino I'd like your attention right now dino is a 60-year-old white man from Hollywood he instinctively oh God chose Jazz because he thought that black women were friends we have a little twist well well well yeah maybe it was selfish but I have a lot of support on Reddit and so forth we're going to talk

Yi one thing that we learned about you afterwards is that you're a professional poker player they believes it I'm like oh my God this is great did you tell your husband right after the show ended that you turned down a million dollars three times in that moment I knew like it was over and I felt like I let a lot of people Down before we get into it make sure you subscribe and ring the bell because we have so many big videos coming up more interviews more Studio tours more video breakdowns so hit that button
so you don't miss it and now back to the video so let's kick it off can we see your bank account I'm kidding give me actually you share a SC can I say this yeah yeah I I showed him a screenshot before he came up of us sending the money and I got a Screenshot of it you got speaking speaking of that um okay now that we got the top 10 here uh we prepared a little graphic taking a look at how much each of you had made while you on the show oh dude look
at my 50 c let's go she made 50 cents more than Patrick let go let go all right I spoke with all of you before this in preparation sent out some surveys one of the questions I asked was was there anyone who you thought did not deserve the money they Won oh oh my gosh jump right into it why don't you six of you said JC whoa why cuz 650,000 is absolutely greedy can you elaborate why why I mean JC has a family talked about like you know trying to pay off his debt taking care
of his kids you don't mention one number and then take more than that and then say I'm justified in taking that it's not it's not how that should go JC do you want to Respond oh we're jumping right into it I I'll wait for my turn I didn't think it was going to get this hot this quick we're getting into it but I I'll wait for my turn to respond I have a reason for why I did what I did isn't this your turn right now now though yeah like go no because you weren't in
my shoes you can say I would not have done this if I was you were not in my shoes trust was already broken game on I'm taking the Money you know what I said it before and I'm going to say it again and I'm going to say it loud for the people in the back I will never ever ever choose any of them before my family period period wow this is a it's a good reunion we're having fun wow I did not expect it to get that heated that soon I was going to say I
was very nice I don't know about heated it could have Got spicy but I'm I'm lukewarm right now let's make it a little well we got some clips let's make it a little bit spicier oh God in the middle of the city is $1 million this million is up for grabs in the next challenge starting with the player in house one you'll each come out of your house one at a time to take as much or as little of the million dollars as you'd like I didn't expect that at all Really yeah this is guaranteed
money this your money I would pay off my mortgage and my debt how much is that a lot uh do you feel comfortable sharing uh with mortgage credit cards loans I probably owe about 530 wa you could take exactly what you need to pay off all your debt JC I trust more than anyone here because he was in my red CU Box challenge with me in such a short amount of time I've grown to Love you guys like if you were my daughters I told you that I don't want to take care of you but
I don't know what to do right now and he said he'd take me to the top and now I'm number four so yeah I don't see them sabotaging me whatsoever I trust every one of them I know I'm going to have a a Target on my back but I'm not guaranteed the 5 million either I want to leave something for Emma so what do you thinking 566 how Much are you taking for yourself I'm going to take 650 who Okay JC I trust more than anyone here Emma I wanted to give you the floor because
you said something um beforehand you said I would have not have trusted people so easily and I would have played more for myself yes I mean being at my age 22 I feel like there's still a lot of learning I have to do um and I do need To trust myself more than anyone in this game and I feel like that was my first big betrayal in my life so it's very shocking to me however looking back yes initially I was very hurt but as I've had time to think about it I've realized he did
what he had to do for his family this is a show to earn money and I can't be mad at that even though it did hurt my feelings and I have forgiven you as a person but I will never forget the situation I get It that's incredibly mature that's incredibly J do you have anything to yeah I I want to share what led up to that point prior to that happening toana comes up to me and says Hey JC you are trusting the wrong people what do you mean Jeff Patrick and Gage they want you
out they are coming for you impossible these are three people that I Trust the most aside from Emma in possible player comes up we separate Jimmy hey guys game on nobody talked to each other right we go into our into our bunkers and then it hit earlier that afternoon before our family arrived I walked over to Patrick's bunk and as I approach the steps I hear laughter and talking and I knock on the door complete silence I knock again I hear scattering I open the door I see Tana running out the back I see the
boys okay standing there pale-faced talking over each other nothing makes sense the first thing I said is what's going on that's the very first thing I said because it didn't make sense to me Patrick decides to say oh she just got spooked spooked about What it didn't make sense to me so when I said when I said in my bunk and I was in my own thoughts and I said okay Tana's not lying it all syned back to that moment I felt betrayed I felt let down I I felt angry because I let my guard
down and I trusted people that I thought I could trust shame on me and at that point I decided it's game On all bets are off I'm playing me against nine done wow okay and and I want to say till this day and I'm going to call them out because I have to till this day because that's what I do I'm dramatic it's in my DNA to this day they do not remember anything about that conversation they don't remember no we Didn't say that for misleading me for misunderstanding what they said take that somewhere else
man dang wow all right all right I'm glad I'm glad we're getting these other perspectives out there there's a lot of people who you named there toana do you want to respond anybody else want to respond to that I mean he took a very long time to say the same thing he already said okay we we're we're I want to like Uh switch topics a bit um Mike yeah you're not getting off the hook here mad that's true you're not getting off the hook here right before the tower challenge took um a little little bit
more than his fair share of money um if we play the clip it is finally your turn you can take a 100 Grand like 830 did I have a specific number in my head I'm going to go with 223,000 cuz it's my birthday how crazy Is that it's just nuts to look at it you know happy early birthday happy what's what's the problem would you make that same decision again I would yeah when I have the chance to get some money and not kick anybody out is great you know let's go let's play a game
I don't know if we have to keep opening these wounds yeah did you expect this to play out like these scenarios When you Tyler Clon were planning out these challenges cuz just that one in particular I had no idea I mean if you would have asked me before we started filming I would have said the first person is just going to take the million and then but on set I had no idea what was going to happen um I wanted to freeze frame on a moment that you could see so much emotion in this person's
face if we could play the moment that uh Tana you realize that Jeff won the 10 Million that 10 million in cash is represented on a check in that six briefcase I think six briefcase has the check is there anything you want to say to that it's your pick you had played so hard that entire game when he said briefcase 6 which had the $10 million in it what was going through your head sorry I honestly felt like like in that Moment I knew like it was over and I felt like I let a lot
of people down like it wasn't about the money for me but I felt like all the like in the beginning of the games I didn't have any idea about the money like I didn't think about the money it was just I want to get to the end of these games and then as I got closer I was like oh I can really like this can happen I can make a difference and then when he got the first briefcase I was like oh I let Jimmy down I ruin the game and then like I was like
I I let the kids down like I let everyone down and then there was a moment where you see me smile because I was happy I really was happy for you and it was just so much like after being through so much it was just it was bittersweet like I felt like I left let people down but I was so happy that you were going to do so much good so it was just time why did you pick the number six I Was just trying not to Signal anything like my heart was pumping so hard
did you pick up on any of those cues from her it you I told toana this earlier it didn't matter really I had already picked six when we were up top looking down at the briefcases interesting the six six was talking to me for days really wait tell us more about that like um so first when you think about the money grab Um Patrick picks five and he gives me key number six mhm so oh wow I'm now in bunk six we spent the whole day um there's a prayer I say a couple times a
day that has six verse six words in the first verse then we go to the top six yeah and then I don't know if there's a clip here but you're talking to us about it so I'm already going it's six really then you spin it you put your hand down uhhuh do you know which one you put it on no six Really then you spun it again this is before she mixed them this is before she mixed them yeah to be clear you spun it again yeah I don't know if it was in front of
me or in front of you it said 6 I'm like oh oh my gosh it's 6 so a lot of what I did was a little bit performative mhm I knew I was going six but I also wanted to see what she was responding I have a question yeah like you put the three briak faes on the top was that a like was there a rule no she Could do whatever it just had to be on the thing okay cuz I was I was like so in my mind having to choose out of 10 briefcases
would have you know made your odds better why did you leave those those were still in play yeah he could pick from up there those in got like if she wanted she could have stacked all 10 up there and then yeah he just grabbed one of them but honestly when you're in that situation your nerves are just Going a million in your brain you can't think straight and it's you're just reacting just moving and looking back now I know what I should have done but should would have could have like it was always meant to
be the way it was going to be I was worried he was going to hear you moving him cuz you didn't move too many yeah I was like oh gosh what what did you think when they picked it on the first time cuzz I remember before we were talking about like what's ideal Case scenario like oh man I hope it goes three four five rounds yeah well you know how many rounds do you think it would go it is ideally it's not the first round I mean there's a 10% chance that round one would be
brutal the fans would be pissed because one be wouldn't even get a chance yeah a four would be awesome and if we went like five or six deep that would be crazy I I didn't think it would be the first one I mean Obviously it's a 90% chance it wouldn't um I was I was flabbergasted um but I think it it worked out well because like you guys had that like tension where he was like what' you say and it built up really well I mean it would have been it would have been very brutal
if she was just put it there and he's just like six then I would but they gave us plenty to work with so I don't think it mattered like it still turned out really good and we had like a really solid buildup um so Yeah I actually think it it worked out well um because it might have got a little repetitive if it went too long yeah and I mean and obviously everybody knows toana like she is intimidating she's got so intimidating that supposed to be intimidating oh I I trust me I TR like from
the get when I walked by you when you were kind of talking to Gage with the coin flip I'm like if there's any chance I win I need you to see a side of Me that you've never seen so I was like I need to try to get in your head somehow and you kind of spit it right back at me I'm like oh my gosh this is not going well it was it caught me it did catch me off guard I was like yeah I was like where is this coming same I was like
whoa yeah okay all right I was trying to like make jokes on set to like bring the energy down a little bit I was like damn uh Toana I just want to say you said you let people you let nobody down nobody um I mean toana I I I I give you a lot of props for saying no to a million dollars three times and met your husband you you talked so much about your children like did was that conversation hard coming home I think after all the said and done there's always the would have
should have could have um the first two 1 million per no Like I don't regret that at all my family understands why I didn't and they don't they don't like like question why I didn't take the money you know what I mean I I think a lot of people are like oh you're stupid you should I would have taken it but the first time it it would have been sending people home to take the money the second time we talked and we said hey there's enough for everybody let's just do the like this is kind
of a side quest on the whole game let's let's All get something and then we can move forward for the final goal the last one is is is quarterbacking you know it's what's we call it Monday Monday morning quarterbacking you know like I may not have gotten the win at at the end but I'm still going to keep fighting for what I what I want and what I believe in and I'm still going to get my nonprofit off the ground it's just going to be in a different way did you tell Your husband right after
the show ended that you turned down a million dollars three times or did it like did you build up to it over time no I I I ripped that Band-Aid off right away right away hey missed you by the way I rejected a million dollar the way yeah coming home without the million dollars but I mean how do you for myself how do you live with yourself how do you live with yourself when you look people in the eyes and say hey I won't I won't Do this this is the plan I you just stick
to it that's all okay another question we asked you guys how do you feel you came across in the final edits of the episode I haven't talked to any of them about this all right on a scale of 1 to 10 10 being the most accurate one being the least accurate six of you basically said you were happy with it four of you said you wish you would have come across better Whoa and I'm wondering is there anything you want to express or elaborate on to the millions of viewers who are may not seeing a
side of you tens of millions tens of millions um that may have not have seen the side of you on on camera that came out on the show I do want to clear something for everyone's info me and yesy are good we're totally fine we're good I never flat out said like I was lying to her that did not happen Everyone knows my what did you say see depending on where you throw is where I'm going to throw whoa oh so you're saying you'll only throw at 947 if she throws at you first yeah of
course wa she went for 831 instead of 937 that was good wait wait wait wait she didn't throw at you but you still threw at her 937 just did the exact opposite of what she said earlier I so I just remember on set going whoa that's not what she said But yeah if if I remember correctly um I said that and then a couple rounds later is when we were targeting each other and then that's when yesie got me out it's Mac here Mac doing some deceptive editing I want to know but yesie and I
are good I would never thought out lie toie we're good I just want to say that you Courtney hey dude hey dude how's it going yeah I feel like you were so authentic in the way that you were portrayed and and uh nothing f 100% yeah Props to the editors in mac and you guys for creating all this but absolutely represented me exactly how I am and you know working with God and how I want the world to see me and also maybe take some take some notes from how how to act in some situations
exactly how I wanted it to be do you wish uh you when they started throwing at you that you tried to like get them all to gang up on someone else on the ball challenge yes my biggest regret is not teaming up with The girls and going towards you know cuz we had a conversation yeah we had a conversation of Alliance yeah I would change that for sure before the finale so like when if I remember correctly we had a conversation and I I initiated at first I said do you guys want to be an
alliance and yes he said yes and Cy was unsure which you know we didn't know what we were doing so we had no idea but we all could have done in Alliance it's not Courtney's fault but Um he could have had half the people team up so we just all went for ourselves instead but interesting the may you guys would have got Jeff out who knows alliances a lot of what ifs uh Gage you're being awfully quiet over there Mr 10 million coin flip I know right I I was uh portrayed as like a very
you know mellow subdued like under the radar quiet person this is a perfect metaphor for how you played the game just let everybody else duke it out I Mean a little bit I felt like I mean I had some great interactions with all of you guys and everyone and I I feel like they didn't portray me in like the light-hearted kind of goofy way that I would have liked I mean a lot of it was very serious I was like you know on the uh bleachers all alone looking out in the distance as you're like
the The Quiet One um but I was I was okay with it how did you get the balls to decide to do that coin flip yes like but you Would have been eliminated like coming that far did you think there was going to be an advantage or tell us tell us what was going through your head so part of part of it was I thought there might have been an advantage there that was one aspect um the other several there were several aspects um in my thought process um I thought that I kind of needed
to redeem myself a little bit after the last game um having to you know pretty much backstab three people And tell them that I was going to vote for them and then not vote for them um so maybe get back in like the good graces a little bit oh interesting um so you felt obligated to to risk your spot to make everyone like you again sure and also like as I was portrayed like by everyone else as well so I felt I felt really bad about that um and then I just thought it would be
so cool I thought it'd be so cool to just if if was if I could pull it off yeah could you imagine If you had lost though you know you would have replayed that in your head every night forever I you would have been like would I have won the5 million yeah yeah that's czy would anybody have else have done the coin toss if Gage didn't would you have I was really thinking about it like I was really think be honest beon I feel you were egging him on no for real like I was like
ask everybody like I was really like I was like let me feel it let me Just and as I'm feeling the vibrations of the coin a hand just snatches up under me and I'm like oh well he's got it okay but if he didn't touch it you would have done it I don't know if I would have done it like I was like really like tossing in my head but I was really thinking about it Jeff was there a world where you ever would have done it no but I I looked at Gage right away
and I I saw Gage in a way I've never seen him and I'm like oh he's doing it Like 100% he's doing it I just want to make him feel good about it you did make him feel good you're like never in mankind J never in mankind no and then Gage is like never in mankind hey first ever I mean Guinness book are you kidding me that's right he made you rich made you rich richer richer Rich um yesie uh oh that memory challenge oh yes I don't even remember you think about that pattern oh
dude absolutely I I can Imagine walking down the street you know just dude I what's crazy is he even told you it was to the left you know what so okay so before we went into that challenge we were put on Ice which is essentially when we can't speak to anyone and um I had just gotten told like hey watch out for Jeff so I was already uh by toana she had told me like hey like be careful oh no no no no but hold on hold on okay like Jeff and Gage are in Alliance
and I kind of thought Taana was in there but then she wasn't really in the alliance cuz she was just cool with everyone so I was already like dang Jeff wants to take me out I was like but why I was like oh cuz this is a game I was like oh why am I so dumb if you made it across who would you have eliminated you know um after thinking about it I I do think it was going to be Gage I'm sorry Gage I just so in the tower you lied to me buddy
I helped you and you lied to me so I was Like Gage and then after I don't remember see I don't remember that actually lying to you specifically and with the intent he's like I just kind of lied it wasn't like a serious lie I think it was misinterpreted because my intention was to say that I didn't that I didn't you're just one of the three people he thought he could vote for no it in that moment that just like what I had remembered and after that like during the Ball Toss you never looked at
Me or you never said anything to me whereas Jeff he told me immediately straight up like hey you know what this was just part of my strategy like I'm sorry no hard feelings and I respected that you know like immediately and of course toana had just helped me out in the tower so Jeff helping me out with the pattern I was already like all right he's good but in that last moment when Jeff told me to scoot over one right he like touched his beautiful beautiful Hair and I was like I was like oh man
Jeff doesn't know either I'm cooked and I was like you know what I'm just going to bet on myself cuz that's that's a decision I'm never going to regret you know every single time if I lose by betting on myself I'm proud of that decision wow give it up that's a beautiful statement and so so if you did make it across it would have been gauged and then would you have taken the million dollars oh absolutely dude you Would have you would have shown the money so it would have been it would have been the
same outcome she just would have got the million instead of Gage yeah yeah no I would have never like taken this away for I mean Jeff I I know your family we we had just met them before that million-dollar bribe and then with toana we essentially had the same dream building a shelter you know we we grew up similarly so I I couldn't take that away from them than that's Beautiful yes see Patrick you are awfully quiet over there man um have an you haven't asked me a question yet I'm about to right now so
uh I had a lot of time to spend with these guys on set um and every time I would see Patrick he would tell me these rules of Beast games that he would come up with and I want to play a clip that we prepared that people didn't see on the show of me asking Patrick about a few of those rules and him getting a Little cocky oh puet Master Patrick Puppet Master Patrick rule number one listen to clits rule number two ask questions rule number three trust your friends and Rule Number Four don't take
Jimmy's bait and since looks like four people are getting out tonight that's all I'm going to give you wait there's more rules oh yeah there's 10 the top 10 rules of Beast games what's rule number five rule number five of Beast games yeah well I Guess I'll have to tell you when I see you tomorrow after I make it did you see him tomorrow no uh tell us a bit more about your rules of Beast games and just some of the psychology like you were breaking down every little detail you know for years I always
wanted to do this show called Survivor and it was just a dream of mine growing up and it was something I wanted to do to help my parents out and then we heard about this show called Beast games And I had tried to maybe like apply to be in one of their videos and that was always the goal is to help my parents out with the money I got and so for three years I didn't take a vacation at my job just for the chance that I would maybe get some opportunity like a different show
or like saving up PTO so you could take time off literally yeah so like my family be like hey we're going on a vacation or we're going to like go have dinner do this in this Other city I'm like yeah I got to go study this video like I'm trying to figure out challenges and so anyway long story short I get into the show and one of the things I which I love when people make fun of like I love being but the but of the joke but I really stood by don't take Jimmy's bait
and here's why we got screwed in cubes what they don't show is that we had a rest day before the cubes uh in episode three in cubes before that we had a rest day and then We had like a dance party that night that they don't show that was so fun epic and so I'm like my friend comes up to me he's like you're having fun but like you look a little pensive and I'm like I don't know man I got a bad feeling Jimmy's going to screw us tomorrow and it was uh Brennan shout
out 7-Eleven and so it's like 3:00 a.m. and so for like 40 minutes I just like tell him some theories and he tells me what he thinks and so the next day we Do a sack race seems like it's going to be fun right and I'm like oh dang I got it wrong okay and then right after sack races I look up cuz me Brennan and Matt are right in front of the cube Jimmy's above us and he's like guards handcuffed him and I'm like oh my God we're screwed and so I I really had
my guard up for for Jimmy you know having some kind of trick on us and a challenge and so when it came to episode8 with million-dollar bribe I thought all right well I'm just Going to take zero you know it's either it's either an advantage or a disadvantage I want to make a bow play that I can be proud of and standby and so I decided I'm going to take zero dos and it's either going to be awesome and I'll have an advantage in the next challenge maybe you have to carry the weight of your
money maybe it's some Advantage just in that challenge in some way or it's going to be this big disadvantage where you don't have any Buying power for a vote or you don't have the money you need to accomplish the goal in that challenge I I have something I I wanted to ask when I watch it so if JC actually did end up sending you guys money to vote for him would you guys have like let's so if he sent you like 50 Grand you wouldn't have voted for him would you have Pat I thought about
it a lot and we talked on the sixth round and I told him I would vote for him but I was obviously so mad like A lot of the rounds no no no let's let's talk real talk okay real talk don't tell them what they want to hear tell them the truth you guys all met before and said we are in agreement it is a Witch Hunt nobody here is going to vote for JC or Michael really and they were all in agreement we're not going to take bribes from them we are not going to
vote for them that is what Courtney told me and I believe it because this is the most Honest person in the whole entire so that's why you didn't even try to send money to any of them no yeah so they set the Precedence I I do want to keep it moving because there's another person that a lot of you guys turned on um a big episode that people talked about all across social media was a trolley problem episode Lambos versus best friends loyalty betrayal or Would you guys change how you treated Dino and how he
was eliminated after he said no to $1 million and saved a lot of you guys on this stage because social media has a different take on that episode I'll say I don't understand why people were getting mad at Dino that he picked Jazz he just had to do what he thought was strategic so still to this day I don't I don't understand oh you you want you want to take it I do I know you're a sweetheart and I Understand your position but I really want to speak on this because I feel like out of
the top 10 I'm really the only one that can and what I want to say is that jazz is the individual that was under the radar completely you know just a solid player she she is the black Emma in in our in our position right and from coming from a black girl right so Dino and Dino I'd like your attention right now because this is going to be the only moment that you're really going to get This um for you Dino and to answer your question I would I can't change what I did I ragged
on him and I ragged on him hard because Dino is a 60-year-old white man from Hollywood he instinctively chose Jazz because he thought that black women were friends but let me just say this at no point in the game was there a major camaraderie with the black women playing in Beast games we played based on who we were you know I'm very different from toana Tana's very different from from jazz jazz is very different from mo mo is very different from Mia M and Mia come from the same NE like the same state city you
know different places I'm I'm from the county more so she's the city but it's like we come from the same place but we're totally different and so the thing that I want America to understand is when I said that no one is going to respect you I wasn't talking about the world I was talking about the Players because when I have these individual one-onone conversations with everyone they've all said yeah it was obvious because we all know what the relationships were like in the game the relationships in the game were part of the strategy and
I understand why he used it I'm not I'm not faulting him in this moment in in retrospect for his decision because it's not something that I feel like he was in like intentionally racist you know trying to accomplish That goal no by no means however I want the honesty of knowing that you chose that it's no different than if it was nine black people and one white or or eight black people and two white people sitting up here and then it's like oh the the the black people are going to just choose the white like
it would have been the same thing so I just I just want the honesty in that I want the world to understand that it wasn't a direct blow to him and his character as An individual but it was definitely to bring awareness in the fact that we do have things that we've inherited from what we've culturally come from you know what I mean and that was a diversity that I felt like the show touched on in many other ways but I wanted to make sure that I spoke on that because I love jazz and I
felt like she deserved that respect that was not mentioned um there's there's so much to unpack there and we have a little twist Obviously this couch here isn't empty for a reason is Dino coming up so we thought we'd invite up Dino to the stage come on all right well this uh a lot to unpack there have a seat so din know what what's your uh thoughts on that well well well so yeah when it came down to the uh the train uh situation there basically qu uh queen and I she gave me a pound
she said she's stepping down completely supported that she steps Down and then lo and behold Jimmy with his twist he says oh by the way whoever steps down is automatically immuned in going to the top 10 and I'm like oh my gosh so I looked back I had four possibly five people that I thought without a doubt I'm going to have the support especially helping them out when I turn down the million dollars yep and so I go this is was a no-brainer I stepped down lo and behold then you know toana steps down of
course as well you Know as you called everybody out they supported tuana and I just said hey no no good deed goes unpunished and and we moved on so and then once all that took place and then it came down to uh you know tuana asked me to step on the tracks I was on the tracks and when I was uh asked to pick someone to join me I look back and everyone in my mind everybody was scam gambling hiding behind each other JC stood straight and he stood in his spot and uh and then
Jazz was standing next to JC but everybody else was scrambling behind and says come on like you've got to pick somebody you got to pick somebody and with my eyes I looked at JC and I KN he has his two boys relating to those to my two grandsons and thought okay I'm going to leave JC and I looked over and I felt a bit rushed and I selected Jazz and yeah maybe it was selfish but I have a lot of support on on on Reddit and so forth it was a decision I had to Make
and so uh anyway he the decision's been made no is calling me selfish hey and I I didn't grow up in Hollywood I grew up in Lynwood California I grew up with black and Mexicans and that's my neighborhood so all right so black mexic no black and Mexican and also a lot of people don't know this but Dino um you fought in the fires in LA and were on the front lines helping put that out so I want to say thank you as Well thank you thank you everybody thank you man give it up thank
you all right another big moment from that trolley episode was Akira and Mia oh gosh both of whom are here today and I wanted to invite them on stage so give it up for Akira and Mia okay how's your Island well okay by the way did you keep the island or did you give the C how when you give away Islands which we gave her the Option I mean you can answer it they um they gave me the option to keep it or to exchange it for the monetary value and and she chose to keep
it right no what do you think I did no well I mean I really did want to own some property there but it just in my best interest with everything being uninhabited I chose the cash value plus if she chose to keep dialing she would have had to pay taxes on it which would have been crazy so I mean it's the Logical thing to do to take the money do you remember what you said to Akira on the trolley problem episode seemed like it's all black females what did that tell you I didn't think I
could win this 5 million but I'm here to help somebody else win it the only way to do that played a great game here comes be proud of yourself be proud of the game that you played you deserve better I can't hear you I don't want to hear you we're good be scared to Compete against a woman think there's Point Blank period and you about to be next on the plane with me a scaredy cat do you some nice lights up here uh I'm just curious as you guys reflect outside of the Heat of the
Moment are there things you would have done or said differently well I know that a lot of times when you're playing the game it's like honestly you forget the well I forgot the cameras were there so I was Just it was just an honest response and like people see the snarkiness of me but I was quiet a lot of times to the game so I observed a lot of people the camera showed me have a lot of expressions and talk a lot but most people that actually know me they didn't know me until that ending
part of the top 60 or top 20 that was when they actually found out who I was so I got a chance to sit on a bus with people from New York York to Ontario Canada and Through that time I got a chance to see how people interacted with certain people and chose not to interact with others so the energies were there to get to know people it's just the people that they got to know were probably the people that looked like them and they went to school with and was familiar so all I would
have to say from that episode it it was what it was I do respect the way a cur approached um this conversation I will say however That a lot of times I feel as though to me eliminating me was one thing but to eliminate two other people that didn't even have a chance to even get to to be known or have a conversation or even get to the top to me was just like it could have been done a little bit better it could have been mixed up but it wasn't my decision to make and
I was disobedient in what I was doing meaning that I in my spirit should have went up and competed against Akira but I was Just exhausted mentally from all the things that I went through before that um obviously we didn't know each other very well and I was very closed off for most of the game even in the final 21 I only knew half the people so like going into it it was very easy to get rid of people I didn't know I think it would have been much tougher to make some of those decisions
if I did have deeper connections and unfortunately once we got into the top 60 I did go on vacation and we never had time to connect you were fighting for your life out there coming back into the city we went into two different challenges first time we really talked was right after we went back in top 21 and then you know we just never had the chance so I never got to see your story and seeing it play out live was really beautiful and I did feel you know I did feel bad that I did
end your but also I felt really happy that you did come away With the island in that lifechanging money um so I am sorry but I wouldn't change anything that I did that day that's like one of the first apologies of the night crazy right closure I mean what's funny is they they won more money than a lot of people over here did okay uh probably one of the biggest moments on the show that just sent shock waves was episode 3 The Cube Um and especially the Habibi brothers who had this moment two brothers they
already told me I was going to be the one going home they told me this earlier so I said fine if I'm going home you can't decide one of the two then you can come with me so but let's see how they do I think one of you two should go well I don't think one of us should I think one of us three should go I'm not going unless CU here's the thing here's the thing here's the thing right now your Decision is going to result in all three of us leaving that means you're
guaranteed to leave I'm not going to break and exactly you stood up for yourself and I know you're stubborn I can tell your stub you stood up for yourself if I go down I'm going down together you're negotiating your demise if you if you I'm going to say I'm going to say it one more time I'm going to say it one more time the point that you are making is you are negotiating your own Demise I don't want to get bullied like I don't want you guys to think that I'm like not at all like
I'm like whatever if they go out like just be careful that make might cut you out to be a villain I know I'm going to become a villain and I know it I'm not playing you're not playing draw the card what the heck H draw the C he's in here draw the card oh he's backing out back it up do you want to go home uh I mean no one wants to go home Of no so draw the card I I was never part of this conversation I'll give you guys 10 more seconds I'm not
going to here FR all right guess nobody wants to play the game even though she clearly didn't want to play 20 minutes of non-stop manipulation might have just changed her mind we're just going to say screw it and do it again he's not going to participate but whoever makes it will keep that in their back of their mind Moving forward so you want to do the card game again it's just going to be us too whoever gets forward and you're you're not doing it all right the dector shuffles come here then I had a good
chance and I'm just going to ruin you I just want to get this over with 3 2 1 [Music] I told you i' do it I told you i' do it damn you Guys they're probably going to think you're evil but it worked you didn't have to play so we we play me and my brother were secretly talking to each other the entire time and uh basically she doesn't know about whoa whoa all right well wow um there's a lot there um I'm going to invite up the Habibi Brothers to ask him a few questions
yes everyone s simber down we're getting a little too rowdy up Here here here's the microphone would you guys change anything absolutely not whoa you know we're putting this on the inter okay keep going so it's played off a little bit not how it truly happened in there um so first and foremost Maddie the player that was in the cubes with us 225 we were friends from before she was kind of like in our friend group so we went in after the sack race as a lot of people did we were not the only Situation
but we went in with our friends and before the games even began she told us I'm not going to play a game one of you two has to self-sacrifice for the other before you even explain the rules before the rules before the rules were explained she the rules to put two and two together and you know told us that one of you guys get out just cuz we're brothers and and we weren't the only situation that that happened in in the cubes and I'm sure as anybody else Out there who has a sibling or a
family member if you were put in a situation similar to ours and put in a cube where somebody puts you up between a rock and a hard place you're going to fight new tooth and nail to be able to get out and it's at that point it's the person that you trust the most with you you're gonna push as hard as you can to get to that position so once she said that I me prior to I kind of thought about it in my head and I said well if it comes down To it and
I need to self sacrifice I'll push my brother to go forward and self-sacrifice but then she said that and I said well I'm going to go forward and and you know work as hard as I can to be able to get both of us to go through and if we go home we go home I I fought what I needed to do and at that point it was oh sorry you can't hear me I thought you were going to hold his hand yeah at at that yeah at that point it Was we're going to do
what we need to do and we're going to work just to play a game at that point because that's what we're fighting for just to play a game and you know yeah you know what's interesting is the theme of family I'm sensing from all you guys and who his family whether it's blood or chosen actually if you're wondering why we have an empty seat here in the audience is just the top 60 but we made an exception yes Maddie come on out [Applause] you can respond [Music] firsthand did you have a mic it's so good
to see you welome the reunion wait is this your guys's first time meeting in person since filming yeah meeting meeting in person yes speaking no okay what do you have to say about what they said about how you came into the challenge before camera started rolling so one thing that I don't think anyone Really knows is I actually have a degree in math and EC omics but I when we realized what the thing was what the challenge was going to be I was like this is a very obvious Game Theory problem which is a very
common economics situation so immediately when we got in the cube I said hey guys I have absolutely nothing to gain by sacrificing myself but you two do you know you have your brothers it would to the naked eye it's obvious like okay one Of them should self-sacrifice for the other push their brother through so that's what I did and I stood my ground for about two hours and then I remembered that I know them and they're very stubborn people um and economics class is not always real life because in real life you know people are
not always textbook rational and egos exist and there's a lot of emotions at play So that obviously didn't out if she didn't handcuff herself the timer's ticking 30 Seconds left would one of you have bit the bullet or would you both have just gone home out of stubbornness absolutely not really yeah absolutely not so one thing we did um talk about because we had like a little bathroom break before the rules were explained and she' said this before the bathroom break and so the game's already playing in our head and we're like oh my God
like what are we going to do and you know I I look to my brother and you know I tell them I'm Like we can't go home like we can't like like go home or sorry we we can't cuff ourselves neither of us if she doesn't want to like she didn't want to play fair then we're all going to go home and and we're going to stand on principle on that you can't sacrifice is what you're saying we can't sacrifice ourselves we're going to play game if you flipped over the wrong card would you have
handcuffed yourself oh yeah at that Point it was we played a game and it's it's not at that point it's my time to go which I do want to bring something up and I think this is ironically hilarious so prior to us drawing before you even came into our Cube we we were trying to establish the rules of the game and I was you mentioned that the ace was going to be the lowest card and if anybody plays any card game or poker all AC is the highest and at that point I said that's not
worth me arguing I'm just Going to I just wanted her to play a game so I didn't say anything I accepted it and then at the end I drew a king and she Drew aw an ace yeah um how aware were you of how social media and internet would react as you guys were going through this and making decisions anybody comment in the moment yes it wasn't even a thought like while we're playing the game it wasn't a thought cuz that's that's an afterthought we're just focused on Trying to get as far as we can
in the game so it wasn't but then afterwards when social media came out and people were hating we just we kind of embraced it we was yeah we we we knew it was going to be like you know something for sure but it not to this magnitude of like oh my God we ha while she was crying didn't really help yeah yeah yeah eating Chipotle or whatever while she's going through emotions laughing at someone crying not The best op yeah at the end of the day we're here to create content of course you did a
great job with that I I real it was kind of interesting though seeing how like crazy I feel like R Cube looked and then everyone else were like having tea parties and having horses and sushi I'm like well I feel like we used the phone wrong cool well I want to thank you guys for coming out speaking your truth Maddie thanks so much for joining us as A surprise guys give it up one more time brother thank you we actually have one final surprise for you all as you guys know our friends at T-Mobile are
amazing yes yes there go switch the lights bring it on up come on in guards bring out the guards bring out the we're not done our friends at T-Mobile are huge fans of all of you the top 10 are all getting a brand new phone free T-Mobile service and of course all those amazing Magenta status travel perks and benefits I've been with T-Mobile for a while now and it's clear why they always hook me up they're literally the best that they're huge fans of all of you they wanted me to say they were inspired by
the connection you guys shared the amazing friendships you built on the show and they want you to stay connected um thank you T-Mobile for helping us make Beast games possible you everyone give a round of Applause all right and now I'm going to talk to Jimmy for a bit about his honest thoughts of Beast games and then we're going to talk to Jeff about how he's going to spend his $10 million give it up one more time for the top 10 finalist okay this is going to be fun I want to start off uh with
the finale um and Play a clip from my behind the scenes right after we ended filming how do you top this oh don't you worry there are plenty of ways to Top This crazier than this oh Yeah no doubt about that way better there's so many things we learn so many so many things I mean this is great but yeah my God this is great as we see mil and all these World Records seems like something I would say I couldn't believe you said that after that episode and giving away 10 million what was the
biggest thing you learned looking back uh biggest thing I learned looking back um it is a little hard to get to know like everyone You know gets to know like the top 10 and 20 but you don't really know too many people after the first two episodes so to be honest in the future i' probably going to be way more Cutthroat like instead of eliminating 500 we should eliminate like 800 at the start so you get the numbers down um just sucks cuz then most people are going to show up and instantly get out but
I think that would be better for character building well there's a lot of obvious Stuff now that I've watched the show maybe 45 times that I I've pieced together I think like one of one of the silliest things is like when we had people take bribes on episode one they also got out you know when you eliminated everyone to your left and right and I think it would have been way better if the person who pressed it didn't get out so then we have like more people you know cuz we build these people up and
they instantly get out and They're not in episode 2 whereas like imagine the guy who took the $100,000 bribe was still in episode 2 you know at the end that would have been really cool so like there's like we did that kind of subtly throughout the shows like we'd spend an episode building someone up and they'd get out but it would have been better if they stayed in um and so it's a lot of little things like that that's like hindsight 2020 I also it is I mean it worked great for the finale but it's
So sad that I don't get to put 10 million in the title so in hindsight you know maybe just make that part of it because I I'm paying 10 million but 90% of people you know just think it's 5 million which is a little brutal but the last two months they're like people keep coming up to me like holy you gave away $5 million I'm like well yeah only you knew okay I got a hard-hitting question for you oh God all Right um the critics review of the show is very different than the fan review
on Ron Tomatoes you got a 89% from the fans thir yep you can just stop there 89% what else do we need to talk about 133% from the Critics on Rotten Tomato from Seven critics seven who only watched the first two episodes I [Music] agree yes why the difference uh I don't Know I mean we'd have to call them but I I mean they literally left it within like the reviews within like an hour of the show dropping so I'm like 99% sure they didn't even watch it so um but at the end of the
day as long as the people who like the 70 million people that watched the show enjoyed it like what else matters so uh I mean coming from YouTube I'm new to this whole critic thing I don't know why you need to segment oh these 10 people versus these 10 million people like shouldn't all that matters is that the audience enjoyed it you know what I mean so to me it doesn't really matter um was there any feedback or criticism of the show that you were like actually that's a great note oh yeah tons uh you
know maybe a little more skill-based stuff just yeah you know all right all right don't don't cheer too loud okay I don't get so happy but yeah I uh in the future I definitely want a little less luck in It I mean you don't know till till you go through it but it would it would feel better if it felt like certain people earned things more instead of like lucking through I actually really liked when we gave people the option to do chance you know skill or whatever so giving people more of the option so
if it is luck based it's like they decided I think it's a much better way of going about it there's one night on set when uh we played Settlers of Katon with the The top 10 and did I win actually I think you did okay um and it was fascinating to see you as a player uh like how strategic you were how measured you were um and I just wanted to put you in the situation of if you were a contestant on Beast games yeah what would you do in these situations oh gosh I'm going
to Rapid Fire ready yeah episode two if you were on the tower would you take the $1 million of course it's a million dollars your odds are Better I don't why' you guys say no you could have you could have asked 25% of the players what are we doing I'm kidding I'm looking at Dino although I'm not I mean a million bucks plus your odds are better you would take the million dollar bribe I mean yeah it's a million dollars even if you promised all the people you're like I'm going to go there say no
well you just you know ignore that part in episode Three there were the cubes oh God how would you go about getting out of the cube if the two people in there with you were Carl and Chandler oh wait Carl Chandler you guys in here oh did hey huh I didn't hear what you guys were talking about he's asked me how I'd manipulate you in the cube if you were in the cube if I had to like it was me you and Chandler I would just never get out I I would be the villain for
Sure you'd be the Habib I'm kidding [Music] uh I I'd probably try to get him to play me in a board game maybe Monopoly cuz Monopoly is like chance you calling a board game yeah what I'd probably pull them each aside and be like let's try to figure out how to team up on the other one and like make our odds better pull pull each of them aside individually Yeah episode five would you compete for the island or skip that challenge oh definitely compete right cuz you have one in 10 chance of 1.8 million I'm
actually only nine people did it which is surprising cuz you it's what was it one in 160 at five or one in 10 at 1.8 I mean it's just like the EV scores are so much better I was shocked 10 people didn't even go after it episode 8 the challenge where there's a million dollars in the middle and each Contestant had to go out one by one and decid all million so if you if you went first you're if you're in toana position you would go out and you would take how much yeah I would
take the million and then I'd just give it to them on the towers or something you know I mean they didn't know that at the time but yeah would you would figure it out well then you have all the control that'd be awesome I could obviously would have played this completely different than You guys so I probably would have been eliminated like yeah how how much do you think about that when you go through creating the games with Tyler and kitner like how much you put yourself in the shoes of like what somebody would do
oh obviously every game but uh how it played out and how we thought things would play out were two completely different things which I think is one of the beauty of the show is there obviously was a lot More Integrity a lot more caderie and honestly way nicer than we thought in a lot of instances which is threw off a lot of the equations for some of these games which one in particular comes to mind um I mean obviously at the end of episode 2 I mean I I thought for sure someone was going to
press it at like 200k and then it just went up to a million but it I mean it was awesome because that Cliffhanger was perfect and you know people still like come up to me And they're just like there's no shot that's real and I'm like I don't know what to tell you in the finale would you have flip the coin and RIS elimination but potentially no no especially cuz t toana sounded like she was going to do it too I just that was crazy I have to ask about the $10 million coin flip I
like for months leading up to that I mean I know you haven't even asked the question yet but we were like yeah we'll just throw this in there no one's Actually going to like do it yeah like you know we're like there's the EV ratio like imagine filming for a month and then just gambling it all on a coin flip that everyone else benefits from it it makes no sense yeah I was going to say like talking to you Carl like Chan like everybody didn't think it was going to happen on oh no you you
probably have a thousand shots and me going no shot this is going to happen I was like yeah we'll probably just cut it out the show cuz Like no one's going to do it and it doesn't make sense I I even I told Tyler he's the you know for when we post this like the guy who writes a lot of our stuff I was like why are we even doing this this is just a waste of time like who would actually in the right mind flip this coin um H how do you think about when
you add more money on the show because I was there with you on set the Tesla for the train vers um Lambo episode for the Trolley problem episode you guys just stuck another $100,000 in the trunk like I think that was a game time decision um how do you make those decisions of like okay let's add more money let's add another $5 million like do you ever think about oh the return of adding more money or is it just for fun well if we thought about the return we wouldn't um because I don't think I
got $5 million out of it but it was just uh no I mean these things were pre-planned beforehand Because obviously because of compliance I can't like change too much on set so it's usually just whatever we agreed to going into it to be honest do you ever worry about raising the bar too high Jimmy to the point where like audien has become too desensitized to like what it means to win $10 million on a show like like that is so above that's the the beauty of that is if they're desensitized to the money I'm giving
away then I me I don't know how They'll watch any other game show so I I I think that's more of a problem for everyone else not us I thought it was fascinating how in the past week you put out the first three episodes of Beast games for free on YouTube yeah why uh just to get more people hooked so then they would come over to Amazon and watch the rest um it's it's been great so far like people are watching it and it's causing a spike on the show because just some people you know
uh just wanted To see it before they committed to buying to Prime what's been the impact of Beast games on filming your YouTube content like have you tried to do more challenges like you did in the games have you tried to up the production quality has there been a change impact on your YouTube content oh yeah definitely I think if you watch the pyramid video we just did you'll see there's way more cinematic shots it's way uh just everything about it I we Actually it's in 4k which I think that was like we're starting to
do all our YouTube videos in 4k now just I had a lot of theories like oh you know people prefer YouTube videos that feel a little more amateur they don't they you know especially because over half of the viewership on YouTube now in America is on television so we started upping the quality of our cameras because I was like oh this show looks great now it makes my YouTube channel look like you Know so we started bringing in bigger uh the bigger Rigs and using more high quality cameras and so far the reception on YouTube's
been great so it's way more uh cinematic way higher quality content and even I just think even the storytelling and things like that in our content has gotten much better so we I learned a lot um it it also helped because we had a lot of um traditional people which is just a lens that I didn't normally learn from I was around A lot of different people so like learning from them over the 45 days and then pulling it all over to YouTube was really helpful yeah yeah especially now I think YouTube just announced that
TV is the most watched surface it's over half of us viewership is now on television for YouTube which is crazy when you think about it because it used to just be a phone thing um but as Cable's dying everyone's switching over to YouTube on TV yeah I want to ask also About the change in thinking about Story versus spectacle yeah I thought it was fascinating episode one biggest spectacle you know thousand contestants 500 people eliminated roughly trap doors pillars like crazy production episode 8 nobody eliminated jez is basically just people walking in and out of
houses and I want to know what they think which you guys like better raise your hand if you like episode one better Raise your hand if you like episode eight better wow that's interesting no one got out in episode 8 wow yeah you you know the top 10 and it really built them up and came across better as opposed to just dropping people at against constantly yeah um what did that teach you about changes you would make to your content moving forward I mean obviously we know the objective get it where you feel how you
feel in episode 8 ideally sooner in like episode two or Three I think at the Crux we just didn't get rid of enough people at the start so we just got to get the numbers down sooner and then um it'll be much easier because you know if if we have 30 or 40 people it's not hard it's just hard when you have 400 because but and if you're only going to focus on 30 why have 400 so just get the numbers down yeah how do you try to find stories when it was that many people
like you had people like asking questions like question like I me We had 150 people editing this so it was yeah they were shifting through an unfathomable amount of footage we the I mean the other thing too is definitely giving our editors more editing time I mean we were right up to the deadlines and then we'd get Amazon to like give us a couple extra days and then we'd shove a couple or shave a couple days off doves and then we'd film it earlier so we give the editors like ideally an extra month to like
focus on it because Even though we had so many people it just like there's just way too much footage like episode one with the 1100 cameras it was just it was brutal but deeper in the show when there's only 10 people it's like you know you can watch everything that was said during that whole day and so it's much easier to like grab the optimal stuff and put it in yeah um it's so fascinating Jimmy to be able to interview you through the years as you go through different life Stages and see how that impacts
your videos um you recently got engaged I did I did the thing yeah Tia is here I don't know where she's at but shout out to Tia she was wonderful to have on set um I'm wondering does being engaged soon to be married one day having kids does that change how you view I don't know it'll happen soon you think man it'll happen I don't know where you got that from um having a family think about all that in the future does that change how You think about the challenges and the contestants who come on
your videos uh that's a deep question uh probably not no cuz there's a lot of like family Dynamics like you look at like Jeff and toana like you're not just invested in them at that point it's their families is they kids um I mean those like obviously when we brought the families out like I I don't you don't need to have like a a wife or kids that understand like oh this hits emotionally And and feels good so I I hate to to give you a lame answer but probably not love you Tia though if
you're here it's reported that you've placed a multi-billion dollar bid on Tik Tok um well I didn't I'm part of the bid I'm part of the bid uh well first of all yeah I don't have billions of dollars um oh yeah first of all I want to ask is it true uh if you could talk about the bid on Tik like Tik Tok and if you win the bid to buy Tik Tok I'm curious what is Your experience being the top YouTuber and now having a streaming show influenced in terms of owning a platform like
what changes would you make if you were the owner of Tik Tok yeah I mean I'm really not allowed to say much especially because this is going to be on the internet so um that's I can't I don't know you're going to give in trouble here they're going to kick me out of the deal that's fair uh ask me in a month and I'll have a way better Answer any other thoughts Reflections like looking back such a Monumental I me people love the show you guys are great I mean it's uh seeing the internet's re
reaction to it has been amazing like honestly I feel a little empty because I'm going to get up next Thursday and I'm not going to be able to check Reddit or Twitter I'm going to you know just have to go back to normal life it's kind of sad um but no people loved it and Amazon's happy and you guys killed it Thank you all right it's time for the man of the hour the guy won $10 million let's bring out Jeff all I just have to ask Jimmy you were telling me did you wire the
$10 million to Jeff today yeah I a lot of you know you we don't pay people until the episode airs so this episode obviously aired at 3:00 a.m. today so he just got paid literally today did did you ever were there ever nights where You doubted that it would be real yeah yeah you doubt it that the I me just like like it's a lot of money this happened five months ago and like my wife's like I'm like hey like can you believe it and she goes it's not in there yet yeah like who knows
what's going to happen that's a good wife yeah yeah um and maybe we show the screenshot of it and uh because it's crazy to see that post they'll they'll throw it up on the reunion so here here it is I don't Know what camera I'm supposed to be looking at but if you're curious obviously your information will be blurred but there's the the Big 10 mil so it is paid as of now all 20 plus million should have been paid to everyone that's OD so it's crazy to see like all this like play out Jeff
how did you keep it a secret for 5 months we spoke a few times like it's almost like yeah tell me about that like that must have been the hardest secret to keep um That you won 10 million of course it's hard but it's also like what I got to experience and I think said it when we were get down to the final 10 like think about everything you've gone through and how fun it was like believe it or not the people who watch it will feel the same thing and like kind of like hit
me like I can't take that away from my mom or my sister even though they Pride me they didn't know till today or my yeah my mom Didn't know until this morning w wow wow W that's crazy what was her reaction I mean they lost their mind I mean and especially as I got further in the game I was kind of leading them astray like they thought I was for sure going to get eliminated on episode 9 by kind of the way I was acting with him and then I said hey the final six I'm
like are you kidding me I got to talk about I got to talk about Lucas two episodes in a row like in my book that's a winner like However the finale works or ends I consider myself a winner man I can't believe they didn't know till today that's insane dedication that's why it didn't leak though I appreciate it but what's here what's crazy is because Jack my 9-year-old was there at the finale he hasn't told a soul Wow Let's Go shout out to wow that is not easy Jack you're going to be the coolest person
in your school now when you go to school next um you know I spoke to a lot Of people who came on the show and they sacrificed a lot people left their jobs um but a lot of them were a bit younger you know they could kind of roll the dice and do this last harah you had a family at home uh you were in sales you like had this whole life in San Francisco how did you make the decision to say I'm going to put potentially not look at my phone for 30 days to
risk trying to make this crazy dream happen um I was at our annual conference for Association for efficiencies two years ago and the woman came on stage to give a keynote and she goes hey everybody I have the Silver Bullet to how to cure a rare disease everybody's on the edge of their seat and she goes you need to find a celebrity who has a child with it holy and so for me I go obviously I'm not a celebrity but I need to figure out how to get a platform and how to get a voice
um and so I kind of toiled with it all The time um early last year my 9-year-old 8-year-old at time is like Dad I want you to watch this video with me I want you to watch this video it was Mr Beast and then I see it on a a link for application on on a billboard like a casting billboard and I go I put it on my whiteboard I set alarm on my phone and the day came I think it was like May 31st and so I recorded a video I'm like screw it I'm
doing it wow but I didn't tell my wife that I did it until I got In because I didn't want her to start planning and freaking out that I'll be gone for 30 days um but yeah it was it was Terry Joe Belle who inspired me to kind of go you got to get out there and get a platform and I'm wow forever grateful for for being there to hear that wow and how uh so far have you seen like people talking about it more and the creatine deficiency disorder and everything like what oh it's
um like I I got a I got a DM on Instagram from a From a mom in Argentina who said she had never heard anybody talk about creatine transport deficiency except her doctor wow she thought her kid was the only one in all of Argentina and she kind of felt like she was finally part of a group and finally heard and um wow yeah it's uh like that's the stuff that like that's why I'm doing what I'm doing dang wow and to put it in perspective we were talking on set how many people in the
World have creatine transporter deficiency diagnos is like under 400 in the entire world yeah but we think it's underdiagnosed by hundredfold I think most parents kind of give up because the diagnosis Journey can take years to try to really figure out and pinpoint it and for people who aren't aware of the effects of this um condition can can you just explain I know you've said it on the show but I just want people to have full Contex for sure um our bodies make Creatine naturally and they travel through the blood to get to the organs
and the muscles um and there's a transporter Lucas is transporter or kids with ctd their transporter is broken so their bodies make the energy creatine fine but their organs or muscles can't receive it um and the symptoms are kind of cognitive delays developmental delays epileptic um low tonal so it's just failure to thrive so it's just it's and there's no treatment for it yet And how if people want to help you how would you recommend they reach out like message you on Instagram yeah I mean you can message me on Instagram you can go to
creatin info.org which is the uh the nonprofit that is the the primary funer for research um and there's more on my website too legacy8 31.com okay wow um after we watched the finale together for the first time last night I started going through Twitter and social media just trying to see some of the Reactions of what people thought uh well before you read them up have you been reading social media keeping up with it yeah only only messages so I don't know like what have you read the Beast game subreddit or anything oh wow have
you of course yeah I want to see what they think of everything what what that's actually really what have you seen that stuck out uh the stuff I said before more skillbase blah BL BL uh interesting so you you don't read Twitter or search Your name on I do but not I haven't done it since I mean the last 24 hours have been little a little crazy yeah you should search 831 on Twitter all right it's over one L positive yeah here's a comment I thought just summed up everything I saw when I was researching
uh quote uh and I'll put this on screen tears as I watch the Beast games finale episode 10 The Winner was welld deserved and I'm glad the contestants didn't leave with nothing great show W wrote w All around yeah um what what what are your first plans with the 10 million um first I got to figure out how much you know taxes I would owe yes um you know please pay your taxes I wouldn't please we sent the full 10 million it's on him please pay the taxes you don't withdrawals before no which I'm glad
because so I have the pretty screenshot Of the 10 million but it's scary because he owes a lot in taxes sometimes to help out people we withhold it and pay the taxes for them but we sent the full money pay the taxes don't go to jail of course just like I got it April 15th we're all good yeah and so you know for me it's finding projects that we can fund to help find kind of a a cure and again a cure is going to take time um you know it takes finding a technology or
a therapy that works and then you got To put it through clinical trials so um there's some awesome stuff going on at Stanford um and some some places in Canada too and we're going to find out which projects are best to fund and try to get some stuff rolling love it our we we talked quite a few times after the finale taping and tonight about just preparing yourself for how you know the world would react to finding out that you won the $10 million could you talk about some of the things you did to get
Ready and take this opportunity and ride the momentum um obviously the X's and O's you know talking to attorneys um couples counseling you know like like really making sure that we're prepared as a as a team um but also just kind of recommitting to who do I want to be you know um they say kind of money doesn't change you but it definitely brings out who you are um and so for me it's you know I Want my ultimate Drive of why I believe I won was because I wanted to receive the prize so that
I can share it um and for me sharing it means helping kids like Lucas um so hold me to it you know and I I want to be that person person who's going to make a difference for for kids like Lucas are you going to quit your job I don't yeah you won't see me in W2 again was there anything that you bought or you spent knowing that the 10 million Was coming or you just played it conservatively until you saw the wire um pretty conservative um we went on a vacation my my kids have
never gone to a beach vacation even though we live in California so we did a Beach vacation over Christmas and Lucas had a blast we did swim lessons up until that so he was much better prepared and um it was nice knowing that we had it um but we we couldn't share it it's a weird thing when it's happened but it hasn't Happened and I'm sure you have that all the time with with your challenges yeah like knowing it's coming but it not being there and so you have to like yeah I I I think
Cruz said something to my wife after the finale he's like she looked at him she goes what just happened and Cruz is like nothing happened yet in five months it will happen d one thing that we learned about you afterwards is that you're a professional poker player o like how Professional we talk yeah how professional yeah and did that play into the games as professional as that is not true oh W so that was that was a a joke that landed so bad that they thought it was true oh wow I thought you were I
believe it and and so this is a shout out to ko ko I I don't know when he got out in the games but he was a professional poker player so when we were having this conversation with Gage and toana I said oh yeah I when I Used to be a professional poker player something to that extent and like they they believed it I'm like oh my gosh this is great so I I I was a horrible Gambler like horrible Gambler I I haven't played the bet in 10 years so like thank God for me
yeah so for me to be a professional poker player is like hysterical especially to all my friends cuz I was never good I'm really thinking back to this moment where you had the families come out and uh Jeff seeing you With your family for the first time on set um what did that spark in you like what did that reignite because it seemed to have an effect a bunch of people mention it during the top 10 yeah my um family means the world to me um and I I've never gone 30 days not talked to
my wife and I love spending time with my kids and and like I always thought it was cliche like oh like the best day of my life was when my kids were born until Your kids are born and you realize it is that was right up there with it when they came around the corner and I saw my son and I hear him say my name and then I see my wife and like she's looking at me like she's so proud of me it was like it was literally the best night of my life like
the top five best nights of my life and in typical Jimmy fashion they walk around the corner this way we go into a challenge and again I think it's one of the the reasons why you see me Kind of get a little fired up that night was I was just the emotions of that night were beautifully scripted Bravo and shout out to them for not saying come home we miss you no they they were my wife was super supportive like literally we had like she's like just let you know like if you have a chance
to call me for a bribe I'm not going to answer wow really yeah and and I told her like when I signed up for it I'm Like hey this is going to be an awesome PL for Lucas like I'm going to be able to tell tell the world about creatine transport efficiency if I go far enough she goes she goes screw that she goes if you're signing up you better win this thing and that changed my whole mindset yeah um I'll give you guys the final word I'm I'm so grateful that this happened I I
texted Jimmy I'm like so much happened on the show we got to do a Reunion yeah no I'm glad we did feel Like the viewers will like having like hey a little bit more knowledge on certain things that happen closure on a lot of other things and then just getting to hear him talk more and everything like this will be perfect and because after episode 10 whenever this goes up in a month like it will autoplay for all the new people watching it so it'll just be like a great way to like close any uh
endings on watching the show so I'm very glad we did it yeah Jeff any final words from you anything that you want to share with the world um your family your cause my plan is to kind of put um the rubber to the road you know I'm going to Ruck from the Nevada border all the way to the coast of California in the next few weeks to try to raise more awareness for ctd and and for Lucas going to start um on the Nevada border of California and we're going to go 365 miles all the
way to Santa Barbara uh Santa Barbara area so One mile for each day that Lucas has to suffer with ctd so 14 basically marathons more than that yeah we'll have to do a marathon a day for two and a half weeks wow wow okay give it up one more time for Jeff World thanks to T-Mobile who knows a thing or two about keeping people connected we have $60,000 up for grabs and a quick game to end out the night what we're going to do we're going to Have you guys come up here I believe and
then we're going to put a cup over there and then you'll each get a shot kind of like in episode two and everyone who land it in the coup we split the 60 Grand thanks to T-Mobile if you want to look over there check that out oh that looks sick [Music] okay come [Applause] On here it is [Applause] [Music] come on come on [Music] T got you got it oh my God I cannot believe I just did that
