24 Hours Inside the World's Secret Gambling Capital (what happens here?)

Welcome to the gambling capital of the world. This city makes Las Vegas look like the beginner's table, earning almost double in gambling money than the Nevada desert city. For some people, this is hell on earth. For others, this is where China's high rollers come to do one of their favorite illegal activities on the mainland. — It's the gambling. — Welcome to China's special administrative region of Macau. — This right here is China. And then this is Macau, — the only place in China where gambling is legal. But we're not here to gamble any money because that is always a bad idea, by the way. But instead to gamble our fate. Stefan and I have been on an Asian travel season for a few weeks now. And although we miss Amara and Tommy, who are both on a longer break, for today's challenge, we decided to up our stakes. We are going to flip a coin to have polar opposite experiences. One of us will end up with a luxury suite in one of Macau's most iconic hotels eating at Michelin star restaurants during a day of comfort and joy, while the other will end up in our classic Yes challenge. Abandoned in the city with no money, having to ultimately spend the night at a stranger's house. Every single person we have asked about Macau has told us this will be impossible, that nobody in the world's gambling capital will host some random stranger wandering around the streets. So, we are admittedly both terrified to see who will have to be out on the street with zero dollars. Let's see how this goes. so hope to not be abandoned today. Same here. Like please let me not end up on an abandoned inn. The reactions as well from people when we said that we were going here. It was scares me as well. — It was not good. This might be a bold claim, but I think this might be one of the hardest locations to do it. This little thing right here is going to determine what either of us do today. Damn. I haven't been scared to film an episode in a while. — Yeah. — And right now I'm scared. So we have a flower and we have a two. I'm going to pick the two. — So if it hits two, you're going to live in luxury in a way you never live before. If it becomes a flower, you're abandoned in Macau for 24 hours. Okay. Let the gamble of our fate begin. Oh [ __ ] So three, two, one. — Let's go. Let's go. — Oh, — holy [ __ ] — Oh, buddy. Bro. — Okay, bro. Bro, I almost want to like cry. — I was sure it was going to be me. you as well. well, — bro. I saw photos of the hotel, the luxury hotel. — It's epic. I was hoping to stay there. — Hate casino. Hate gambling. — If you take anything away from this guys, don't gamble. Stefan, I think you better get going. — Yeah, — because you only have 7 hours of daylight. — I'm struggling. I'm honestly like — Do you hate me right now? — You did say no. No, but the thing is I can't blame you. Don't hate the player. Hate the game, you know. See you. It's It feels hard to say goodbye. See you, Ben. I was not ready for this. I was not hoping wishing for this. I was just wishing to take it easy today. And I only want to like hide under a blanket right now. That's my only wish. I'm feeling pretty low. Not the most motivated, strongest mindset, but let's go out and uh create some meaningful encounters out there and find somewhere to sleep. So, we begin. Feels like climbing a mountain and that I don't have the right gear with me to climb this mountain. Now, it's time for the first roll here. So, to make things interesting, we've set up 11 challenges for Stfan. Each one earning him a bit of money to help him survive the day. But which challenge he faces isn't up to him. It's up to chance. These two dices will decide what challenge he has to complete. But there's one catch. If he rolls a two, he loses all of his money. — And then Oh, it's three. Wait, what is three? Ask someone to point in any

direction and walk that way for 20 minutes. Okay, Kessa, that's a good start. So, I'm going to find someone. I ask someone what direction shall I walk in? Hello. Hello, sir. How are you? Nice to meet you. — Nice to meet you, too. — What What's your name? — My name is Avan. — Ivan. Yes. — Stefan. — Okay. — Nice to meet you. — Can you point in any direction where I shall be walking? — Okay. — In in what direction? If you can like point with a finger, you know. — Yes. — Sorry. — No worries. — Go this way. This street. You go. Go down this street. — Yeah. See you. — Thank you, Evan. It's a little bit tricky to tell Ian to point and where to point. But now we got a clear direction here. So, I'm walking. Gosh, it's hot today. 20 minutes. Here we go. Hello. Hi. Where are you from? Hi. Hello. Okay. My strategy now is to accomplish some challenges. get some money so I'm able to buy lunch later because if I've become hangry can be tougher to like communicate and be on my best and then I'm also going to do the smile thing, you know, smile to people and you see people smile back. Okay, we got this. Gosh, it's warm. Oh gosh, it's warm. It's so sweaty. Like, sorry for that, but it's sweaty. Ah, my day starts pretty good here. Have my bags being taken care of. I have to admit that I was fully mentally prepared to be stranded out here today. I'm a little bit in shock to be honest. I have a driver. This is our guy. Hello. How are you? — Hello. — I'm being taken to a royal suite apparently. And my only objective today really is to surprise a stranger with an amazing experience. There's a seeking comfort versus seeking discomfort going on. I'm not too mad about taking a little break from the discomfort. Bye-bye. — O wow. — There's like freaking airplane seat. This is dangerous. I could get used to this. The weather is amazing. I think I'm going to go check out the pool. This will be quite a day to soak it in. — How are you? — Where you from? — Peace. — Okay. Thank you. — Thank you. That was fun. And there are fun people here. Some struggles when it comes to speaking maybe, but we'll figure it out. Okay, so 20 minutes has passed and I have earned money. $5 to be able to buy some food in a bit. Time to roll those dice. Okay, let's do it now. Here it is. It is seven. Get to the traditional fishing village and befriend a fisherman. Okay. Wow. And this is going to give me 15 USD. This is perfect. Got some money that will give me food. [laughter and gasps] Okay. But first I'm going to do some quick AC at this hotel just to like cool down a bit and then I'm heading to the fishing village. Okay. I just got some AC. It feels it's really very nice. I need to drench away some sweat. Oh my god. The thing is if someone going to host me, I need to look like a little bit representable as well. So, oh, I wish someone could give me a taxi ride here to like save time. But okay, I need to walk 14 minutes going to find someone who um yeah, we can be friend. — How are you doing today, sir? — Uh yeah, very good. — Doing good. — Yeah. — What's your name? — Uh you call me Sho. — Sho. That's a cool name. Thanks for driving us today. — Oh, thank you. Maybe we should invite him to something. — So, you uh you were born here in Macau? — Yeah. — And you work as a driver full-time? — Few months. — Yes. — A few months. Okay, cool. — Yeah, it would be fun to bring him to something. We have a lunch reservation. We should probably just take him with us. — We want to experience a little bit of Macau. — Yeah. — But we want to experience it with someone local. — Okay. — Do you want to come with us? Um, — we would be happy if you came and we we pay for it. So, if you want to come with us, we can park the car and then go enjoy some lunch. — Yes. Okay. — Perfect. Okay. Awesome. This will be fun, man. — Okay. — Sure. It's nice to meet you. — Yeah. Nice to meet you, too. — Perfect. But for now, we are going to check into our hotel. — You want this to me? — I need a map to figure my way around

this hotel. That's how big it is. — Nice outfits. — Thank you. — You look great. This is actuallying insane. It's like a Disneyland for adults. This is I think one of the biggest hotels in the world. And I'm genuinely I have no idea where I am. Where are we supposed to go? — I think this way. — This way. Ah, this hotel is so big. You can literally get lost in here. Welcome to our humble abode. Okay. Woo. — Okay, I have arrived to the bus station. I'm always very bad at reading signs. So, hello. I'm going with 25. — This one? — Yeah. — Here. Here. Here. And — to the end. — Yeah. — Okay. Wow. Okay. Sending me to the end station. I'm literally heading on a little adventure here. I haven't been able to have like one proper conversation in English yet. And it's 1:48 p. m. Start to feel a struggle. Yeah, I'm sitting here sweating, struggling, waiting for this bus for quite some time. I wonder what Thomas is up to. Okay. Hey, the bus has arrived. Okay, thank you. Oh, it's AC on the bus. See a woman with a camera to say hi. Three, two, one. Excuse me. — Let's go somewhere. — Okay, I'll try again. — I'm trying to go down to the fishing — I this village. — Okay, nice. — Culture village. — Yeah. Yeah. — Follow me. — Follow you. Yes. — Thank you so much. No. Where you come from? — I'm from Sweden. — Yeah. — You follow me? I born in Macau. — Are you born in Macau? — But are you interested to pick a picture? — Oh, nice, nice. Yeah. Apparently, I'm on the wrong bus. This bus is not going to the village I was hoping for. Thank god I spoke to this woman. Follow her to the garden. Free of charge garden experience. I'm happy for that because only have uh five bucks right now after completing one child. I'm a little bit stressed actually because I'm running. I just know that when sunset comes, it's going to be 10 times more harder to speak to people and communicate and interact. — Okay. — Ah, this is the go. Yeah, I guess we're guess we're doing it. Thank you ladies for letting me join. There is the smile. I see it. — Okay. — I 70 72. — You're 72? — Yeah. — You're 72. — You're so young. — And what does this dish called? — A ta b egg with the tea. — You want this one? You tried the one? — Yeah. I'm very lucky. — Are you sure? Mhm. — Okay. — Thank you. Sh. That's very kind of you. Okay. So, I try now. Delicious. — Very good. — Very, very good. A cow people is very — Very kind and nice. Yeah. — Yes. — You are my first friend from Macau. — We meet together is wonderful. — Very wonderful. — You've been a driver for a few months. — Yes. — What other job did you do? — Okay, let's go. — Oh, this is a two Michelin star. That's amazing. I've never eaten at a two Michelin star restaurant in my life. Let's go, man. — Welcome to Macau. — Thank you. — Welcome to — Thank you so much. Thank you. — Ah, this is incredible. Cheers. — We're treating ourselves today. — Yeah. It's nice to have you, man. — I'm happy you're here. — All right. Sweet. Cheers. — Wow. Steamed pork dumping with crab carrots. — Wow. Thank you. — Wow, that's so good. — Feel very spoiled. I feel very good taken care of. Thank you so much. — One of the best things I've ever had. You know, it's funny that you can buy privacy and comfort in the real world, but online, most of us have no idea how

exposed we actually are. The craziest thing about the internet isn't what we actually see on there. It's what it secretly knows about us. Somewhere on there, there is a file that has more information about me personally than my own family has. Apparently, my old address, phone numbers, and that photo from 2007 with terrible hair are all still out there. Cool. So, I started using Incogn. It's the service that basically goes out and removes all of your personal data from hundreds of shady websites that sell it. Think of it like a digital cleanup crew for your life. They contact all of those data brokers on your behalf and if you find a website still exposing your information, you submit it to them through their custom removal feature and poof, it's gone. It's sort of like hitting disappear from the internet except legally and without having to move to the mountains. We may seek discomfort, but having our personal data floating around online, I think is a discomfort that I'm okay missing out on. And the best part is Incogn is verified by Deote, so it actually works. You can try it risk-f free for 30 days and then if you use code yes at checkout, you'll get 60% off their annual plans. Take back control of your data with Incogn because honestly, privacy should not require going off-rid. Okay, now back to our adventure to see if Stefan will find somewhere to sleep tonight. — Are you married? — Not married. — No married. May maybe one day. — Maybe one day. You must have a beautiful wife. — I hope. I hope. Somewhere along the way, Stfan seems to have forgotten that he was in an active challenge and found himself being adopted by a group of kind Chinese aunties instead. — Really good. — This one here. This car must go to — How is everyone feeling? — Are we feeling good? — Feeling good. Have you ever seen someone lose a lot of money? — Mhm. — You have someone lost this? — Yeah. — So, how much is that in US dollars? $38. 5 million. You watched somebody lose this. — Yeah. Every time have some people lose money lose money. Yeah. — How did it make you feel about the casino world? Is it like difficult to watch when somebody — numb? — Numb. Yeah. How did they react? Really? Yeah. In the table. — Really? — Holy. — It's really It's crazy. — Mhm. — Wow. Oh, this temple is beautiful. And it is one of my missions as well to see a temple. — Here she is, the photographer. Looks beautiful from here. — You can see all of Macau. It's — absolutely beautiful architecture here. Feels nice to relax and calm down and come away from the business of the center of Macau. — Really, really high. Really, really — Are you proud of Macau? — Yeah, proud. — Proud of Macau. — Yeah. — Yay. — Mac is very beautiful. — Oh my god, you guys are funny. I become very happy when I spend time with you. woman. Beautiful woman. — Beautiful. You are two beautiful Chinese woman. Happy. Happy. — Happy man. — Yeah, I'm a happy man. — Happy. Okay. — Trusting kindness from strangers. And my friend, he has a private driver. — He has a luxury hotel. — He's doing amazing activities. — But so am I. Ready? Shall we put in the hand? Everyone hand in LA. [singing]

— Okay, let's do it. — It's a very fun day. — Very fun day. — You are very lucky. — Let me out. — Nice. Keep dancing. — Okay. — Hey, so I have officially decided to not go to the fishing village anymore because they have invited me to join them into like a dinner and I'm having a great time. There is a bit stress of me like am I gonna find somewhere to stay tonight? But by not going to the fishing village, I'm getting minus5 dollar of not succeeding my attempt. So, — we'll figure it out. After we finished lunch, I had a fun experience up my sleeve that I thought we should pitch to our driver. Located in the center of Macau is the world's tallest bungee jump. — I have a question. You said you were adventurous person. — Mhm. — Have you ever been bungee jumping? Me? — Yeah. — No. — No. Absolutely. No. — Do you want to go together? — I I I'm very scared. — You're very scared? — Yeah. — But do you want to try it? — Oh, don't know. I don't want to try. — You don't want to try? — Oh, — you can like walk around the — Yeah, around the tower. Maybe I can try. — Yeah, why not? Okay, so we'll go and walk around the tower. Oh, that that's good. — Yeah, we will try. — I'm also a little bit scared now. — Yeah. Yeah, — you ready to conquer your fear? — You're doing good, man. This is going to be good. — What are we What am I getting him into right now? First, he just thought, "Oh, we're going to a Michelin restaurant. Life is good. " And now he's panicking. Yeah. — This is the 58th floor. You can see the whole Macau here. — How do you feel? — Oh my god. We're going to be outside. Is this a good idea? — It's a bad idea. — Yeah. — Are you texting your wife a last message? Yes. — She's like, "How's your day at work, honey? " And you're like, "Uh, — what do you think? " — I didn't do that. — Oh my god. Holy — The drop here is insane. I don't know where Stefan is at the moment. I hope it's easy for him and he's already met someone who's taking good care of him. — Hey. — Huh? Mine. — Oh, for train. Thank you. — Say hi. — Can I show you? I have this thing here. I'm doing a challenge in my couch. So now it's Okay. So it's number six. — Compliment 10 strangers. — Oh yeah. — Now we're going to compliment 10 strangers. This is prolong chaos. — Uh holy. — I'm very scared. — Wow. — Think about it like that's it. — Slowly slowly. Okay. Oh, okay. — No. — Yeah. Let's go, boys. WE'RE CONQUERING OUR FEARS. — Oh god. — Stand up. — Oh. [groaning and screaming] — Ready. — Mhm. — Yo. Wait for the camera, bro. Now wait your pants. Let's go. — This is [groaning and screaming] good [ __ ] bro. — I got to get out. I got to — Okay. Let's go. Let's get here. — Hey, let's go. — Okay. No. No. No. No. Ow. Go. — Is this the most stressful day at work for you in your life? — Yes. — I'm sorry about that. — It's okay. — On every side is just a straight freaking drop and then there's all these people looking at it. — Oh, — he's doing it. — Yes. — [ __ ] My life is just on a freaking rope right now. — This is freaking horrifying. Stefan, I hope you're having a better time than I am. I was supposed to have a good day today. I don't know why I signed up to come here. — Okay, so we need to give strangers compliments. — Yeah, we just want to say nice to meet you. You seem like a friendly person. Nice to meet you. — Nice to meet you, — Stefan. You seem like a friendly

person. — Oh, thank you. — Thank you. I love your earring, by the way. Very nice. — Wow, this is super cool. Look at this. You both look like very friendly people. Thank you. — You seem like cool people. You seem like a nice person. — Yeah, thank you. — Cool smile. Nice smile. — Nice smile. You seem to have a very peaceful energy. — Have a good day. I'm really hungry right now. I haven't had any food today besides that one egg. — Are you tired? — Tired? Hi. — Yeah, I'm tired. Yeah, you can see that. — Holy. — Nice. — How does it feel to see your city from high up? — Mai is very beautiful. — Yeah, it feels so good. — Bro, you are dangling your feet. — I got it. — You got it. — Well done, man. — Yeah. Thank you. — Okay. — We freaking did it, man. — Yeah. Thank you very much today. — Oh, thank you, man. Thank you. — How do you feel now? You feel okay? — Yeah, I feel good. — Now you feel good.

No. Right. — No. — Absolutely no. — Yeah. Never. — Oh, I'm so happy. Very happy. — Oh, thanks for thankfully. — I'm happy, man. I'm happy. — I'm honored. I'm happy I have my first Macau friend. — Yeah. — I just wanted to feel defeated. — Oh [ __ ] I showed her before the challenge we're doing and she kind of maybe looked at me that I'm from another planet. I don't know where I'm sleeping tonight. Somewhere there is a person waiting that hopefully can host me. that a part of me is thinking that I might have to be up all night. I just want to hide. I don't want to do this. Oh, wow. Look at this. This is where Thomas is staying. Should be out looking for somewhere to stay tonight. Where are we going? — I love your glasses. Very nice glasses. Okay. So, I just earned $10 by giving compliments to 10 different people. See where the night takes us. Oh, this is the restaurant. — Yeah. — Thank you. — You are like my mother's. Yeah. — Yes. — Yeah. Yeah. But now rest up the food and then I'll see you on the street. My ladies and gentlemen, we have a problem. — The time is 7 and I have nowhere to sleep tonight. Maybe I waited too long to try to find somewhere to sleep. — If I can't find somewhere to sleep tonight, it's going to be a tough one. Yeah, now it's go time. I'm going to get a taxi. I have 12 USD to spend. So, I'm going to get one to a different area where even more locals are hanging out because there's a lot of tourists here. Hello. This place, Ponte Kais, no English. — No good. — No English. — Thank you, sir. Off we go. Now, the real challenge begin. So, that taxi ride was 100 Hong Kong. Just need to check that then to USD. That was all my money. How could it be that much? All my money is out. So now I'm down on zero again. — Hello, brother. How are you, man? You good? — Good. — What's up, man? Where are you from? — Uh, Philippines. — Philippines. Much respect, man. — Yeah, — he was chill. Why didn't I ask him? I have nowhere to sleep. And now the clock has hit 8. I am so tired. [sighs] If you ever imagine yourself like, you know, starting with YouTube and these kind of things, h don't don't. I'm going to take like a 7 minute power nap. How did my life end like this? It's mentally tough right now. Have to like go deep deep with myself to try to like find some kind of motivation or motor now because I have barely spoken to people today who speak English. What? That's you today, — my friend. — Thank you. This was awesome. — I'm very happy today. — You had a good day. — Yeah. Have Not too crazy.

— Yeah. Little bit. Little bit crazy. — And hopefully we meet again somewhere in the world. — Okay. That'll be great. — I have the time. I call you. — Yeah. I don't know where Stefan is now. I hope he's found someone because I'm going to go to bed now. — Hello. Okay. Okay, I'm going to just keep on saying hello and I'm going to keep on connecting with people. Not giving up. If anyone has a spare room tonight for a fellow stranger, here I am. Anybody out there can hear me? Anybody? Hi. Hi. Where are you from? Can you — Philippines? Hi. — You seem like a fun gang here. — You're a blogger. — Yes. Yeah. What about you guys? You're hanging, chilling. — Yeah. Chilling. Tomorrow is off. Do you want a drink? — Yeah. I could have a sip. Thank you. Oh, — Cheers. You want to get some? This one is turkey. — Take one, please. No problem. — Wow. — So good. — Where are you stay here? — The thing is I don't have a house tonight. I have nowhere to sleep tonight. I'm trying to see if someone can host me and say you can stay at our place. — We don't have the space in the house. — I want to give to you, but the space very small. — Thank you, man. — Yeah, having an excellent time here with the home boys. Pretty funny. You can just feel at home very quickly with — the boys. — Hello guys, welcome to my vlog. Don't forget to subscribe. And although Stfan's new friends had repeatedly told him they had no space for him, Stfan had decided that he had run out of options and chose to keep hanging and drinking with these boys for the next few hours, hoping they may change their mind. — Do you believe in aliens? — Yes or no? — No. — Yes. — Staying in one room, three person. — You know what my one of my favorite things in my life is? Sleepover with a boy. Oh yeah. — If it's possible to stay at one your place, I also want to respect you guys. But if there is if there's a little corner somewhere, I'm happy to stay there. — Huh? — We already decided. You are the place now to go. — You you have decided. — Welcome home. — I don't think I can stay at your place. — Yeah. — Thank you guys. — We got you. Philippine is very hospitality. — Are we doing one? Uh, okay. Yeah. Yes. Oh, wow. We spent four or five hours here with the boys. — You still want to play the billard? — Yeah. Yeah. Wow. — Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's been an incredible day. I have not heard from Stefan and I do not know where he is, but I am tired and I did not struggle nearly as much as he did today. So, I hope he has found a home and I hope he's not still wandering the streets. And man, I'm going to get some good sleep. Hopefully see him again tomorrow. Have a good night — boy's house. — Thank you guys for hosting me. You're the best guy. — You stay here. — Oh, stay here. — Yeah, you sleep too. — Thank you gang. I'm so happy I have somewhere to stay and not be outside. And I'm so happy that we found each other. — Perfect. We are sharing together now the room. — Bro, it's amazing. — Very little place. That's why the first day were shy to invite you to come. — Yeah. Yeah. — That's why you hesitated. This is a sleepover, boys. We have four boys in one room. This is my dream. Group hug. — Come on. — Let's go. — Yeah. Thank you, boys. — Thank you so much. Feeling beyond grateful. There are no fancy hotels in the world that can compare the warmth that these five Filipino boys are offering tonight for me. So, good night and wish you well. — Good morning. Good morning, everyone. I slept like a king. — I'm talking to my one and only wife. — Yeah. — Hello. — You have kids? You told me? — Yeah, I have four kids. — This is your four kids? Yeah. Then that is my wife — and they live in — Philippines. — How many years have you been here? — Almost 9 years now since 2016. — How is that if I can ask? Is it uh if it's not too personal? — Actually, it's really hard to far away

from them. But uh we need to do this kind of uh work so I can support them. If I just work in the Philippines, the salary is too low. Sometimes you feel depressed because you are not with them. I just want to work here to support the study of my children. When they are finished, I can maybe I can go home with them — so we can live together. — And how long have you been here? — Uh 6 years yesterday. — 6 years yesterday. So the day we met was the anniversary. — Yeah. I have two babies. Oldest is boy. He is 10 years old and my youngest is 6 years old. — How many people are living in this apartment here? — Only five. What is the best thing or most fun thing living with your brother and your friends and colleagues here? — After work, we gather around and you can forget the problem in the Philippines. — I already said it many many times, but I'm like super grateful that u I met you last night. It was very special, boys. Much gratitude. Okay, time to say goodbye. — See you, bro. — Okay, brother. — Nice to meet you. — Yeah, nice to meet you too, bro. K, thanks you. Thanks. — Bye-bye, boys. — Thank you. After 24 hours of pleasure for me and pain for Stefan, we finally reunited at the hotel. Thank you very — We now had our own personal experiences of the highs and lows of gambling in Macau. And like many people who had lost big hair before, Stefan looked like a broken man. — Met some people that you're going to love. — Did you where you slept inside? — Filipino boys. — You found a home. — Okay, that's good. Wow. But despite losing the bet, Stfan ended up winning so much by getting to experience the eternal kindness from the locals here. Even though most of them couldn't speak English, they were also gracious in trying to help this lost and confused Swedish man. But he also gained much insight into what sometimes hides behind the kindness and generosity of strangers. People who remind you that generosity isn't about how much you have, but how much heart you give it with. Our new Filipino friends welcome Stfan like a brother. And we were so moved by their sacrifices to provide for their families that as a small gesture of gratitude, we decided to share 20% of this video's ad revenue with our new friends and their families. Thank you for showing us what unconditional generosity and kindness looks like. And we hope that we can all meet again soon. — Next time — you're going out on the street. It's your turn. — How mad are you at me? Are you mad at my son. — Yeah.
