10 Things MrBeast Can’t Live Without

I'm taking over, I'm taking over the channel,

this is now a Mr. Beast video.

[lively music]

10 Essentials I can't live without, with Mr. Beast.

[logo beeping]

My first essential is AirPods.

I mean, I think this goes without saying,

these things are a gift from God.

I'm on the phone all the time.

I usually burn through like two

or three pairs of these a day,

like, I have to like cycle and recharge 'em,

which is why this has a green strip on it,

'cause I have like my green AirPods,

I have my yellow AirPods, I have my pink AirPods.

These will usually run outta battery

before like 1:00 or 2:00 PM,

and then the gold ones will run outta battery

around like 8:00 or 9:00 PM,

and then, you know, the pink ones will last me

till I end up going to bed.

So I'd say I probably take like 60 or 70 phone calls a day,

so these just make it 10 times more fun.

And then of course, obviously when I'm watching YouTube,

stuff like this, it just comes in clutch.

I do lose quite a bit of AirPods, so I probably do like,

you know, 300, 400 flights a year.

Sometimes I accidentally leave 'em in the seat cushions,

or like, I think I've lost two pairs this year,

because they've fallen outta my pocket,

and they've slid back underneath the seats,

on like a commercial flight,

and then we just can't find 'em.

I'm pretty sure people just steal my AirPods

when that happens.

So yeah,

I probably burned through at least a dozen pairs this year.

[groovy music]

My next essential is a sleeping mask.

Give me that bad boy.

So, I don't know what this brand is,

but they are GOATed when it comes to sleepy masks.

I am always traveling, right?

Like when we build a hundred wells in Africa,

or you know, I'm burying myself alive for seven days,

or we're seeing the difference between a $1 bunker

and a billion dollar bunker, I'm always traveling the world,

and I can't count the amount of times

I've had to take a nap.

Literally just on the floor of an airport,

or on the side of the road on a sidewalk,

and you put on the I mask, you know,

and then you put in the AirPods,

and you can sleep anywhere, literally.

One like mental trick I like to do,

when I've like been filming for 16, 17 hours,

I got like a two hour break,

but we're in like the middle of nowhere

and it's not comfortable,

I throw on the mask, I put in the AirPods, play white noise,

[air gushing]

and then I just like to trick myself

into thinking I'm just in my bed at my house.

Since you can't see or hear anything, it like kind of works.

I'm not a believer in wake up at 5:00 AM,

I like working super late into the night,

so, a perfect day for me would end at 3:00 or 4:00 AM,

and then, you know, get up at noon.

When we're doing these big videos,

It doesn't matter what I want,

I just sleep whenever I can break away from the camera.

And so, the beauty of this mask right here is,

these are detachable, right?

So like not everyone's face is the same,

so why should their sleeping mask be the same?

So in this case, you can put it exactly where your eyes are.

And like the worst part about a sleeping mask, guys,

I've researched dozens of sleeping masks,

I know everything about 'em,

the worst thing you can have with a sleeping mask is like,

a little bit of light comes in the bottom, right?

It's brutal, you wanna be pitch black,

which is why these eye protectors really,

kind of almost suction cup to your eyes,

and then the fact that you can adjust them, it's GOATed.

There you go.

Throw some AirPods in, ready to hit the hay.

[funky music]

All right.

Third thing I can't live without, thank you,

is my fans.

You know, and so this is actually a recent letter

that we received, and one of my favorite things to do

when I'm feeling overworked, or like depressed, is just go,

you know, open up some letters and read 'em.

I haven't read this one yet, this is just a new letter.

It says, Hi Mr. Beast, my name is Luke.

I hope this card reached you well.

It did, Luke. I hope Luke sees this video.

I have always wanted to talk to you,

and I'm writing you to say, yesterday I had a Feastables,

it was amazing.

That's cool, Luke. [chuckles]

I love watching your YouTube videos, they are great.

I won't read the whole thing, but, well,

this basically says he loves the channel,

inspired by the videos.

Luke, thank you for sending me this letter.

You know, and I picked this as my third essential,

because obviously, without the fans,

without the people who watch my videos,

you know, I'd have nothing,

like they're the reason I get to do the videos I do,

they're the reason I get to live the life I live,

and it wouldn't be a 10 essentials

without the fans, in my opinion.

[upbeat swinging music]

Oh my gosh.

And for my fourth essentials, you can throw it, all right.

[chuckles] Whew, it's time for me to look like a giant nerd.

This is a Dune the board game.

So, here's the deal.

I really, really, really like strategy games,

it's something I've just been obsessed over my entire life,

whether it's StarCraft, League of Legends,

any, you know, real-time strategy game.

A strategy board game, in its purest form,

is basically chess, right?

Whoever is the better player usually wins.

But the problem with chess is, it's so skill-based

that it essentially turns into just whoever's willing

to devote most of their time to the game.

You just have to put tens of thousands of hours into it,

I don't have that kind of time.

So that's like a really skill-based board game.

On the other end of the spectrum,

you have something like Catan, which is like a game

where you roll dice and you collect resources.

The problem is, the dice rolling is very random,

and so that takes a lot of skill base.

And so like a really good player might not win a lot

in Catan, just because they don't get lucky, right?

So I was always trying to find like,

what is a game that has a little bit of luck,

but not enough where great people don't consistently win,

but also skill based in a way.

And so, Dune was actually the first board game,

I tried so many different ones

looking for this like weird blend I'm trying to describe,

that it is like a really skill-based game,

but it doesn't require you to devote literally every hour

of your life to be at the top of it.

And so, this is a game I got hooked on a couple years ago,

I love it.

Every year I host a yearly tournament in my hometown,

where I fly the top 32 players,

or 31, 'cause I'm one of 'em,

so 31 other top players around the world, down,

and we compete in Dune in person.

I mean, it's one of the largest board game tournaments,

cash prizes in the world each year.

The first one I hosted, I actually ended up winning,

it was pretty crazy, with over $10,000 on the line.

So I won the first tournament,

second one I think I placed like sixth,

third one like eighth,

and then the last one I think I placed 10th.

So I'm progressively getting worse in the world,

but I love this board game, it's so much fun,

and I think more people should give it a try.

Do I have a top five board games?

Dune, Dune,

Dune, Dune, and Risk.

I loved playing Risk when I was a little kid. [chuckles]

[groovy music]

The next thing I can't live without,

take a guess what this is.

I'm serious, leave a comment,

I'm curious what you guys think this contraption is.

Okay, so basically, your boy's always on the road.

One thing that's really hard when you're always flying,

or you're in Malawi, in the middle of Africa, you know,

five hours away from the new city is, you know,

getting food that has protein.

And so, this is actually a heated lunchbox,

this thing's pretty cool.

So basically, let me show you this, lemme open it up.

I love this thing.

Oh, you guys actually put food in it. Oh, thank you.

You press this button right here, and it turns this on.

And this is basically just like a stove, and you close it in

and this whole thing turns into a microwave.

So this thing is sealed,

and so you can just put some chicken and rice,

and maybe some avocado in here,

five hours later when you're on set, grab this bad boy,

turn it on, it'll heat it up,

and then a minute later you have like fresh food,

like a microwave from home.

It also can become cold as well.

So, this has like fundamentally changed my life,

I love it so much.

Oh wow. Mm.

You can already tell, like,

the bottom of the sushi is now really warm,

because it's literally heating it.

Bro, I love this thing.

Is this sushi old?

I hope not. [chuckles]

I hope I don't die 'cause I ate two-day-old sushi.

[chuckles]

[logo beeping] [groovy music]

Oh, yep. Ball me.

How do I explain this?

I'm really pale.

And so, when I'm filming outside all the time,

I constantly get sunburned,

you can probably even tell my face is usually a little red.

So I like to wear hats like this,

just you know, all around blocks the sun. [chuckles]

Especially my older videos, people are always like,

Why are you wearing that weird straw hat?

Why are you wearing it?

And it's like, guys, I'm filming in the sun for 15 hours,

I'm trying not to get sunburned.

It's funny, 'cause when I first started wearing these,

like umbrella-type hats,

people were always making fun of me,

but after a while it kind of became synonymous

with my brand.

Like my skin in Fortnite, he's wearing this straw hat,

[chuckles] and my skin in a lot of other video games,

I think like Stumble Guys and others.

So now it's kind of like cool,

and I'll see Instagram photos of people

when they dress up for Halloween,

they'll wear the straw hat.

And so what started as a thing, I just wore

because my face was constantly getting sunburned,

kind of turned into like my own little thing.

[logo beeping] [chill music]

Oh, here we go.

So this is a photo of when I proposed to my girlfriend,

now fiance, Tia.

She is incredibly beautiful.

She is very important,

because I just literally work all the time,

and she's one of the few non-work things I have in my life,

and really helps keep me sane.

I've found like in my teenage years and early twenties,

I was basically like, 18 hours a day, nonstop,

every day, living and breathing this stuff,

and I just found that it was, I don't know,

it was like every month I was like losing my mind.

And like, we're just not as humans built

to be under that much pressure

and intense work schedule every single day,

and you need to occasionally have some way

of releasing stress for a few hours.

On top of all that I just, you know,

really love being around her, and she's amazing.

So, very grateful for my fiance.

And we're also, in this video, holding her cute doggos.

That one is Alfie.

That one is Theo.

We had just adopted Theo

like a couple days before I proposed,

so Theo looks like a little baby in it.

I love everything in this photo.

[logo beeping] [chill lounge music]

The next thing I can't live without, I didn't even catch it,

are my contacts.

So fun fact, your boy is borderline blind,

especially in his right eye.

When I was a teenager, I thought that it was just normal

that things really far away were blurry,

I just thought it was like that for everyone.

And I remember one time, you know,

across the field there were trees,

and someone said something about like a bird on 'em,

I was like, Bro, how the hell do you see that bird?

Like, How do you even see the freaking branches?

What do you mean?

And I was like, Do you guys see him?

And they're like, Yeah, what do you mean, Jimmy?

And I was like...

And it like hit me, I was like, oh,

you're supposed to be able to see things far away.

And like my whole worldview shattered,

and I got deja vu of like,

one time I literally got struck out so bad

that my coach literally made my mom

take me to the eye doctor.

And that eye doctor needs to get fired,

'cause I don't know why,

but the eye doctor said my eyesight was fine,

but there were so many like little times

throughout my teenage lives

that pointed to, I can't see.

But anyways, in my early twenties,

I like went to a different eye doctor,

within like two minutes he was like, yeah,

you're like borderline blind in your right eye,

it's pretty bad.

And I was like, oh,

You know, I've just been 21 years deep with this. [laughs]

And so I started wearing contacts a couple years ago,

and that's a complete game changer, obviously.

This is just, you know, if you have dry eyes

'cause you're wearing contacts all the time,

you just, you know, whip it out, get two little drops in.

I tried wearing glasses one time,

everyone made fun of me,

and then I just switch to contacts. [chuckles]

[groovy music] [logo beeping]

The next thing I can't live without.

Hey, wait, sir. Do you know what's in here?

[chuckles] His face.

No, I'm just kidding.

What is actually in here is $10,000.

Obviously if you watch my videos, you've seen,

we have a lot of these briefcases,

I actually have like probably 500 of them in my studio,

'cause we're just constantly giving away money so much.

So $10,000, this is real money.

I want to give you this money,

can you split it with the crew?

[Crew Member] Yeah.

All right, I'm taking over, I'm taking over the channel,

this is now Mr. Beast video.

Jeremy, here is $10,000.

Thank you.

I want you to split it evenly with the crew.

I gotcha y'all man, I got y'all. Trust me.

Wait, do you have grills in your teeth?

Yeah, I do.

Bro. Okay.

You could get some grills too.

You know...

That would be a good video.

Yeah, I'll totally get grills.

Hey, don't take the whole thing.

All right, got you man.

Hey, let's go.

Jimmy's a good guy.

But yeah, I mean, it wouldn't be a Mr. Beast video

if we didn't give away some money.

So, thank you guys.

[gentle accordion music]

[logo beeping] [chill music]

Heck yeah.

The last thing I can't live without is Feastables.

Let me put these bad boys right here.

Feastables is our chocolate brand.

And a lot of people don't realize this,

but on the more serious side,

there's over 1.5 million children

that work in illegal child labor on cacao farms.

46% of all labor on cacao farms

in west Africa is illegal child labor.

And so I started a chocolate company,

and we do three things differently

than most other chocolate companies.

We use fair trade certified beans,

and we pay a hundred percent

of our farmers' living income reference price,

and most importantly, we audit

and remediate child labor on our farm.

So, we only work with farms that have child labor auditing

and remediation systems on there.

So, Feastables is something I'm very passionate about.

I hope to one day cause a catalyst

using my platform plus Feastables

to get over a million kids out of illegal child labor.

Any of you who have ever eaten Feastables,

I'm just very grateful for helping us achieve our mission,

because I don't think you need to use child labor

to make chocolate.

How about the camera guys? Camera lives matter too.

Here you go. There we go.

Heck yeah.

All right.
