Have you ever wondered how much money you could make in one day without a job?
You could carry people's groceries, wait in line for people,
and sell weird stuff online.
Today, we're testing our graphic designer Sarah, our writer Ethan,
and our camera operator David to see who can make the most money in one day without a regular job.
The winner gets to keep everyone's earnings. No.
The loser will actually get... And just in case you don't have any skills,
I'm gonna give you some mystery box.
Let's make some money!
Let's go, Andy. We have all the rules on here as well. Don't spend any of my own money.
I can't sell work-related items or my own personal items. I can use my phone and my car.
Here's the plan. Make money. Using Marketplace,
we can go pick bottles up and return them for money. Once we make about like 20 bucks maybe,
I'm sure we can find a used lawnmower on Craigslist. With the used lawnmower,
we can mow lawns, and because there are infinite lawns,
infinite money.
I'm nervous!
Nail polish? I don't know. Where do we start with that?
Oh no, it's gonna be merch. Uh...
A bag. Oh, there is something in it. It's weird. I don't think I'm gonna actually use these bags.
My original plan was to use my knowledge of retro gaming,
get all the free pickups I can get, and get CRTs,
get old consoles. I can fix them up within a day. The problem is,
it's really hard to find buyers within a day. I think the best strategy is to go into the negative,
and I verified. At the end of the day, we transfer our balance to the winner,
and my balance will be negative, so they're gonna owe me money.
What the hell is this? I'm supposed to make money with this.
I mean, you're a comedian, right? No! Let's go sell some jokes.
I'm going to draw, like, a sample image to post up onto Facebook Marketplace.
I'm thinking maybe $15 a portrait. What do you think, Andy?
Yeah. What do you call rollerbladers who chat on the computer?
I don't know. Online skaters.
That was so bad. I made you laugh. I'm gonna give you $5 to go.
You did it. So my plan is to borrow money from my girlfriend,
go into debt with her, and then just spend all day. And whatever I spend,
that's gonna be my negative amount that I'm gonna transfer to whoever wins.
Who's the real winner now? So who's gonna pay me back?
Whoever wins slash loses the competition.
Let's do it, babe. Let's do it? You made me so happy.
I have joined some Facebook groups that are buy and sell in the local area.
Oh, are there local pet groups?
I feel good. I feel like we're making such good progress already.
And then as soon as people start contacting me,
I can already feel the money in my hands.
So while it's pending, maybe I shall paint my nails.
I think we should honestly check Facebook Marketplace. Maybe we can already buy some stuff with five bucks.
Oh, okay. You can get a desk, some free wood, free garage door.
We're gonna be rich. I found the best thing. Look, it is hand sanitizer.
There are thousands of bottles of hand sanitizer. And it's just pick up for free.
I think we should just try. The next thing I need to do is to find things to spend money on.
And you know what I need? I need to look beautiful. You know, I need more self-esteem.
I look in a mirror and I'm like, I don't even recognize who that is anymore. So I'm gonna look for some beauty and aesthetician services
on Facebook and Craigslist. And Craigslist first, because it's way sketchier than ever.
I'm so scared. If I don't come out in 10 minutes, I'm dead.
Well, hey, I stopped posting for a hand sanitizer.
You got some? Yeah, come on in. Awesome. We got so much hand sanitizer.
What a win. Apparently they just ordered too much. And so now we have 500 bottles of hand sanitizer.
We could set up shop outside of a store. Like a dollar a piece, $500.
I'm a little bit nervous. This is my first time getting my nails professionally done.
What color do you think would look good on me? Clear. Clear?
You don't think of color? All right.
Look, people talk about the nine-of-five hustle. They're gonna make that money,
but I'm gonna get them to pay for my bills. This is nice nail polish.
I'm impressed. I wonder if they intended for me to sell this.
Can't now, because it's used. Doesn't look like we've made any progress on Facebook yet.
Neither of my posts have been approved yet.
Hey, how's it going? Hey, just wanted to touch base, see how you guys are doing.
Well, first I want to hear what you guys are doing. I just painted my nails.
I'm basically a millionaire at this point. How are you guys doing?
What? Man, I'm having a lot of more trouble than I thought I would.
I thought I'd be making money quicker, but I'm just, no one's responding in time.
Oh, that's too bad. Has anyone actually made money yet?
Oh yeah. I've gotten some CRTs and I'm- I'm flipping them. I'm driving one to someone right away.
It's basically, I got picked up for free, but I'll make $200 selling it. So- No.
Are you joking? Oh my God. Yeah. I just really wanted to call and gloat
because I am going to win this. And I just wanted to let you guys know,
sit with that and dwell in my greatness.
All right, we'll do. They will never know.
That was weird that Sarah was like, I'm getting my nails done.
Did you have a tracker on me? I think I broke Craigslist.
Every time I click the sign up and post,
it just takes me to an error page. It's broken.
I'm getting stressed out now. It's been a while.
Haven't made any money. Haven't gotten any requests for sales.
Like it is- It's brutal out here. It really is.
Oh wow. You did amazing. This looks so good.
I love it. We're just about back to the office. We should set a deadline.
We need to have a lawn mower by 3 p.m.
A dollar a bottle? But if you want more, I'll give you a deal.
Please? There you go. Let's go. Thank you.
We got money. Now we can go buy a poster board.
My post to Facebook just got approved. So hopefully we'll get a couple of inquiries through that.
Oh my goodness. That feels so good. Okay. I overestimated them.
I'm going to offer them some random jobs on Craigslist. All right.
Looks like we just got a message from them. Uh-oh. Sup y'all.
I heard you guys are strapped for cash. I have the perfect job for you guys.
I'm so hungover to walk up the stairs. If you can carry me up the stairs,
I'll pay you $40. Carry me up the stairs?
Who am I carrying? They don't look big. Just looks like a hungover bloke.
$40. That's pretty substantial. I'm not strong enough.
I don't think I'm the right person for the job. And it looks like David's already on his way to replying.
Plus I'm hungry. So it's time for food. I'm trying to go opposite direction.
I don't think I'm going to take them up on this. Okay. Well, I think we should still go into the dollar store
and get this stuff. But then race back to work. This completely messes up our plans
that we might not have enough time. We go for the $40. Yeah. And because we already have so much hand sanitizer,
we still try to sell it. Yeah. This is a $1.50 tape.
All right. $405. That's about half of our money gone.
Chase. We got to save Chase.
I have all the confidence in the world that we'll do it at least a little bit better than David.
We're doing my hair next. How much is the haircut? $20.
Yeah. Sweet. I do not feel bad about using my brain to exploit
other workers to make them pay for what I'm doing, because that's just capitalism, baby.
I have a feeling Ethan's working the hardest and that Sarah's working the smartest.
Thank you. Yeah, we got food.
Making money? No, no, no. I made $0 and spent almost $30.
It feels good. Feels good. Did you pay for it with the money you've made?
Yeah, of course. Can you help me carry Chase? I'll split the money.
My hands are full. Good luck. Bye.
Chase, no. Oh, Ethan, I got your hair.
What happened? I fell down the stairs, man. I can pay another $40 if you take me down the stairs.
All right.
I got you, Chase. Oh, thanks, man.
All right, $40. Thanks, man. Oh, my God.
Back to the plan. We have $40 more under our belt.
I don't think there's anything we can buy to make our money making faster.
Like, we can't buy a tool. We just have to get out there. Confidence, confidence.
We'll sell. We'll sell. We'll sell.
We will sell all of our products. I just got a message in the chat about this thing.
Hello, exploits of Linus, me to group. You have a chance to get your job back. James used a haircut and is offering $40
to whoever can complete this task. What's going on? Everything that they're talking about, I'm doing.
This is weirdly. I promise this isn't staged. This is so weird.
I've got to wait for my responses anyways, so I'm happy to take upon a challenge.
Have you seen somebody with very long hair that looks like James?
Oh, my goodness. I'm here to give you a haircut.
I'm so nervous. No, it's OK. So what kind of cut are you going for?
Well, it's just cut and sew. I managed one. It takes forever to dry. So I want to cut, but don't take anything off, OK?
How about one of those little brushy guys? A little too late for that now, I think.
You really seem like you're in a hurry. No, not at all. I definitely have made lots of money already.
This is just for fun. This is embarrassing.
Would you like some hand sanitizer? No.
Look at that lady that was just over there. You got scared.
Would you guys like some hand sanitizer? No, OK.
It looks like a prank video. We have $40. We should just try to buy a lawnmower.
I think that might be enough. Oh, that's nice.
Yeah, much cleaner. Yeah, looks good. David hasn't spent enough money yet,
so it's time to get creative. I'm going to be in a lot of pain.
Oh, wow. Isn't it amazing? What is this?
I don't know. What is top hair?
Wow! You made it better.
I'm satisfied. I'm satisfied. Here you go. Thank you so much.
New plan. We're at the mall, and we're just going to see if some teenagers want to buy all of this for like five bucks.
You guys want some hand sanitizer? I'm going to leave those with you, I think.
Oh, literally all of them. No! Have fun.
You could even sell them if you want. OK, so starting on Facebook,
it looks like I do have a request. She asked if I could draw her pup,
so I will be drawing her pup for her. I feel like fluffy dogs are going to be the hardest
with this style, but I don't have a choice. We now have $50 in total.
I really don't want to sell any more hand sanitizer.
I can't even sell it. I don't want to sell any more hand sanitizer.
I can't buy a lawn mower, because we don't have enough time to actually mow people's lawns.
There's only one thing that we can do
to make a lot of money really fast. We're going to go to the casino.
I really worry that everyone's been bluffing this entire time, and they have way more money.
Like David, David probably has like $200, $300 by now.
Yeah.
Oh my god. What am I doing?
Oh god.
Is it just going to be a line drawing? Uh, you know, at this point, whatever you want.
You in? $20. $20? Uh, make it $30.
I don't think you have a negotiating position right now. Oh, okay.
Okay. Do you mean like not a single line drawing but a little bit nice for one?
Okay. I'll give you $50 for a nice one. Okay. I'm in.
I've never been to a casino before, so I have absolutely no idea what's going to happen.
I don't want to lose it all. Oh, you need to go. There you go.
Do it again. This is just money going down the drain.
We spent a total of $20, and we got five back.
So I have baby legs now. That was the worst experience of my life.
Other groups that I requested to post in
finally approved my post. After the entire day.
We have 20 minutes left. I can feel myself starting to shut down.
We're eating McDonald's, and I just remembered that my dad's work is like eight minutes away,
and I don't think it's cheating if we sell to him.
It's 440. Eight minutes to get there, eight minutes to get back,
and four minutes to sell him San Sanitizer.
I think I'm almost done this drawing of Arlo. It looks exactly like him, right?
Should do the BMW light color. Oh.
I got a mystery box for you. So any amount of money you will give me,
I'm not giving it back after this video. This is real. I can't cheat.
I need as much as you'll give me. I'm not kidding.
See, we have to go. Tell me that is not the best thing you've ever seen.
Let's head back and call it a day.
It's been a little bit since I walked. My legs feel so weird. They're like, I can't describe how...
10, there's $5.
Sick. Are you good? How much time did you spend on that?
That's s**t.
Okay. Do you think it works like a brand?
You're not minting like that, dammit. Can you send it?
Yeah, I will. Yes! A day has passed.
Now, it's the time to see our three ex-co-workers
how much they made in a day. The winner is...
Ethan! Ethan made $192.
Wow, that's so much money. Because you're American. American money!
And let's see how much money you win from this two contestants.
Sarah, $95. That's a no way! Yeah!
That's one. We have a very close to yours. Really close to yours.
Very, very close. I get to look? Okay.
Oh my god, I see the... Wait. No!
Are you saying that negative $179?
I wanted to do that. I got a business loan, baby. Give me $180, baby.
I know that it's kind of crappy, but like, this is capitalism, baby.
I exploit, I take, I conquer. Then I got fired.
