Surviving 24 Hours On Snake Island With MrBeast — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00- We are now heading
2. 0:01towards the most dangerous island on the planet,
3. 0:03Snake Island!
4. 0:04There are thousands of snakes on this island,
5. 0:06some of which are the most venomous on the planet.
6. 0:09- Why are we doing this?
7. 0:09- I flew all the way here for this?
8. 0:11Yep, that's me. And you might be wondering
9. 0:13how I ended up traveling
10. 0:14on Mr. Beast's boat to this insane place.
11. 0:16Snake Island is off the coast of Brazil
12. 0:18and home to thousands of Golden Lancehead vipers,
13. 0:22one of the deadliest snakes in the world.
14. 0:24- I hope we don't die. - I really hope we don't die.
15. 0:26There are no hotels, no doctors,
16. 0:28and no hospitals if we get bitten.
17. 0:30The Brazilian navy patrols the island
18. 0:32and for the past hundred years,
19. 0:33civilians and tourists
20. 0:34have been completely banned from coming here.
21. 0:36Snake Island has always been on my bucket list,
22. 0:38but I gave up long ago
23. 0:40because it's literally impossible to access
24. 0:42until I got a call from Mr. Beast.
25. 0:45Yo, what's up Jimmy?
26. 0:46- [Mr. Beast] Drew, can you fly to Brazil like tomorrow?
27. 0:49- Yeah.
28. 0:50- [Mr. Beast] Awesome. See you in Brazil.
29. 0:51- All right, see you there.
30. 0:53Mr. Beast is filming a video
31. 0:54in the five deadliest places on earth
32. 0:56and Snake Island is number one on his list.
33. 0:59Jimmy needs a travel expert last minute
34. 1:01and so I'm running to the airport
35. 1:02to jump on a 12 hour flight to Sao Paulo.
36. 1:04Upon arrival, I meet up with Jimmy's crew
37. 1:06and a team of scientists.
38. 1:08And together, we're heading straight
39. 1:09into one of the most dangerous islands on earth.
40. 1:12Beautiful seas out here.
41. 1:14(bright upbeat music)
42. 1:20How are we feeling?
43. 1:21- I'm ready. - Hell yeah, bro.
44. 1:23- I'm just hoping we don't get bit by a snake.
45. 1:24- I'm worried about the spiders now.
46. 1:26They're saying there are spiders.
47. 1:27- I heard the spiders will square up with you.
48. 1:30- [Team Member] What do you mean square up?
49. 1:36- We gotta put these shin guards on
50. 1:38to protect from snake bites.
51. 1:40Are you really gonna wear those gloves?
52. 1:42- Yeah.
53. 1:44- Oh yeah. - There we go.
54. 1:45Hey, you're safe. You're safe.
55. 1:47- All right, we are now rolling out to Snake Island.
56. 1:49It is very green.
57. 1:51Crazy to think that literally nobody comes here.
58. 1:53Like what a thought.
59. 1:55Thank you sir. - All right.
60. 1:57- [Drew] Do it, man.
61. 1:58- I'm not taking these gloves off.
62. 1:59- How're you guys feeling? - You know, nervous,
63. 2:01I'm trying to fake it.
64. 2:02- I think, literally, you're the most nervous of all of us.
65. 2:04- Yeah, a hundred percent.
66. 2:05I don't like snakes or spiders.
67. 2:07Don't forget those two things.
68. 2:09- Jimmy's on. - I texted you one.
69. 2:10- All right, let's get it going.
70. 2:11I wanna see some snakes!
71. 2:13(suspenseful music)
72. 2:19- Just entered the island.
73. 2:21- To comfort you guys,
74. 2:22if you do get bit by venomous snake-
75. 2:24- Yeah. - We have a helicopter
76. 2:25on standby.
77. 2:26You'll only be within 90 minutes of dying
78. 2:28if a venomous steak bites you.
79. 2:29- Barely making it. - I'm actually freaking out.
80. 2:31- It's illegal to visit this island
81. 2:33unless for research purposes,
82. 2:35which is why we have Fausto here.
83. 2:36This is my first time stepping in the bushes.
84. 2:38- Alright, let's see it. - Oh!
85. 2:41- [Drew] We started our hike
86. 2:42across the most forbidden island on earth.
87. 2:44And did I mention yet
88. 2:45that we are planning to sleep here tonight?
89. 2:47Every rustle in the grass could be a venomous snake
90. 2:49and I just found out their venom is incredibly valuable.
91. 2:52It has the potential to create life-saving anti-venom
92. 2:55that could help save thousands of people.
93. 2:57I'm anxious to see
94. 2:58how many snakes we can find in the wild.
95. 3:00- How venomous is it? - Yeah.
96. 3:01- Yeah? - Yeah.
97. 3:02- Good answer.
98. 3:03- All right, who's gonna spot the first snake?
99. 3:05That's the game.
100. 3:06- I'm gonna be honest.
101. 3:07I feel like Drew's gonna find the Golden.
102. 3:08- I'm a snake expert. - Depends on what
103. 3:09you're looking for and I'm not looking for snakes,
104. 3:11I'm just looking for safety. - I'm looking at Snake Island.
105. 3:12- You fall right here, you're dead.
106. 3:13- [Tareeq] Yes. I see that.
107. 3:14- This entire island has no animals
108. 3:17and just snakes.
109. 3:18Humans left this island a hundred years ago
110. 3:21and after they left,
111. 3:22the snakes basically killed everything
112. 3:23and laid claim to the island.
113. 3:25- [Drew] Jimmy's right,
114. 3:25but the history goes a little bit deeper.
115. 3:27You see, Snake Island wasn't always forbidden.
116. 3:30In the early 1900s,
117. 3:31the Brazilian government built a fancy lighthouse
118. 3:33to guide ships along the coast.
119. 3:35For years, lighthouse keepers
120. 3:36and their families lived on the island
121. 3:38until one day a family was killed in their sleep
122. 3:41after snakes slithered through the windows at night
123. 3:43and bit them to death.
124. 3:44Then came the scientists.
125. 3:45Attracted by the Golden Lancehead's venom,
126. 3:47which helps treat heart disease and cure snake bites.
127. 3:50But this species is now critically endangered
128. 3:52due to habitat loss and wildlife trafficking.
129. 3:54Each snake is worth upwards of $30,000 US dollars.
130. 3:58And while poachers risk their lives
131. 3:59smuggling them off the island,
132. 4:01most know better than to try
133. 4:02because in 1985, the Brazilian government
134. 4:05completely sealed off the island
135. 4:06and to this day, nobody gets access
136. 4:08unless you are a scientist.
137. 4:10- You know, for an island full of killing machines,
138. 4:13this is actually very pretty.
139. 4:14- Yeah. - A butterfly.
140. 4:14- Very green, near the blue water.
141. 4:16How're you feeling?
142. 4:17- Dude, this is beautiful.
143. 4:19- Now we go into the jungle,
144. 4:20- Oh, man.
145. 4:22- We are officially entering the jungle.
146. 4:24At any point now,
147. 4:25a snake could jump from the tree and bite us.
148. 4:28- I feel like there's snakes all over these trees.
149. 4:30- [Mr. Beast] Even the sticks on this island
150. 4:31look like snakes.
151. 4:33- We are climbing an elevation.
152. 4:34Second guessing the gloves?
153. 4:35- Yes. Second guessing this whole trip.
154. 4:38- [Mr. Beast] He was like, "I do this every day."
155. 4:40- [Tareeq] Something like that.
156. 4:40- I usually find people and culture
157. 4:42and there's no people and culture here.
158. 4:43But now I got Jimmy.
159. 4:44He's the people and culture. - I'm your culture.
160. 4:46The only deadly thing about this place is the heat.
161. 4:48- The fact that nobody gets access to this island
162. 4:50is so exciting to me. It's so off limits.
163. 4:52- And you would think of how impossible it is to visit.
164. 4:55I mean, I don't know why I did that.
165. 4:56It literally is impossible. - It's impossible, yeah.
166. 4:57- Even honestly,
167. 4:58we struggled to get it. - Right.
168. 4:59- You would think it'd be more snakes.
169. 5:01- Right. We just can't see them.
170. 5:03Maybe there are more.
171. 5:04We might have to sleep here two nights.
172. 5:05And then we come across our first clue.
173. 5:08- Is this snake skin or am I tripping?
174. 5:09- [Mr. Beast] Dude, that's snake skin.
175. 5:10That means there's a snake nearby, guys.
176. 5:11- They had shed here. - Hey, don't worry,
177. 5:13we're just going through the thickest bushes now.
178. 5:15- Yeah, lead the way.
179. 5:17(suspenseful music)
180. 5:23- I'm looking up man.
181. 5:24You all right? - Yeah. I'm just tryna...
182. 5:25I'm trying to see when the end is happening.
183. 5:27Are we there yet?
184. 5:30- [Drew] Out of nowhere, there it is,
185. 5:32the legendary lighthouse.
186. 5:34I wasn't expecting to find it this fast.
187. 5:36- Whoa! Human settlement. Is that a lighthouse?
188. 5:40I thought this place was abandoned.
189. 5:41- The people from Brazil, it's the Navy.
190. 5:44- Oh this is a Navy outpost? - Yeah.
191. 5:46- Good news, no one's bit.
192. 5:48Bad news is, we've yet to see a snake so.
193. 5:50- Good news, we still have like 22 more hours
194. 5:52so we will see one.
195. 5:53- I hate that you remind me that
196. 5:54'cause I'm ready to get off the snake.
197. 5:56I'm so ready to get off. - The heat is tough man.
198. 6:02Are they scared of our feet? Like the sound?
199. 6:04- Yeah.
200. 6:05When we have many people in the the same trail,
201. 6:08they are scared, you know?
202. 6:10- Hey guys, just walk as quietly as you can.
203. 6:12- Quietly.
204. 6:13(Drew shushing)
205. 6:15(suspenseful music)
206. 6:18- Bro, bro, bro, bro, bro.
207. 6:20Huge ant hill.
208. 6:22Ah! Right in my hand, dude.
209. 6:24- [Mr. Beast] Careful guys, careful.
210. 6:26- Shit. That's the most intense thing we've seen so far.
211. 6:30So what actually happens if we don't find snakes?
212. 6:33Like do we scrap this idea?
213. 6:34- I'd probably put it at the end of the video
214. 6:35and just say- - Yeah.
215. 6:36- Yeah, the Internet's a lie.
216. 6:38I hope we at least find 'em one
217. 6:39or my audience is gonna be low key kind of pissed.
218. 6:41- I feel them all around me, man.
219. 6:42I feel snakes all around me.
220. 6:44- Hey, we found a tiny snake.
221. 6:45So far we've been attacked by more caterpillars than snakes
222. 6:51we still haven't come across any snakes.
223. 6:54Honestly, I thought we'd be dodging snakes left and right
224. 6:56like what we've seen on the internet.
225. 6:58Is the danger on the island over hyped?
226. 7:00Or are the snakes just that good at hiding.
227. 7:02And then, bam!
228. 7:03- Oh, there's one right here!
229. 7:04There's one right here, right next to my face!
230. 7:05- Where? Where? - Holy!
231. 7:07- Where? - Right there, right there.
232. 7:09Right there, right there, right there!
233. 7:10- Let's go, let's go. Go check it out!
234. 7:12Holy (beep)
235. 7:13It's literally right...
236. 7:14It was right by your head, dude.
237. 7:15- Is this a Golden Lancehead? - Yeah.
238. 7:17- Nolan! - I walked right by it.
239. 7:18- Nolan, we found it.
240. 7:20Wait, that's venomous. - Yeah.
241. 7:21- So if that bit me, I would die
242. 7:24if the helicopter didn't get me
243. 7:25to the hospital quick enough.
244. 7:26- Yeah.
245. 7:27- There's over a hundred different species
246. 7:28of these Lanceheads.
247. 7:2990% of all snake bites in Brazil
248. 7:31are this Lancehead species,
249. 7:32which is why the antivenom from this snake alone
250. 7:34could potentially save over a thousand lives.
251. 7:37- Jimmy's attempting to grab the snake right now.
252. 7:39Please be careful man.
253. 7:40- [Tareeq] Dude, he's looking right at you.
254. 7:41- Where do I grab it? Oh, I see how I lost it.
255. 7:44Oh, all right, get that box.
256. 7:48- Put me in a box.
257. 7:50- Boom. - That's it.
258. 7:51- Couple of hundred more lives saved!
259. 7:52I'm not gonna lie, this is actually
260. 7:53kind of an awesome job.
261. 7:54- Hey Jimmy, there's another snake up there.
262. 7:56- We're finding 'em all now. They're coming out.
263. 7:58I've been to every country in the world,
264. 7:59but I've never attempted to catch
265. 8:01a venomous snake until now.
266. 8:02- He's not lying,
267. 8:03he's literally visited 186 countries.
268. 8:05- 197. But thank you for making me look less cool.
269. 8:07- Drew, are you sure you wanna do this 'cause-
270. 8:09- Yeah. - If you mess up,
271. 8:10it will fall on you.
272. 8:11- You're like a foot taller than me,
273. 8:12so you should probably do it but like I would try.
274. 8:14Tareeq, Tareeq, gimme your gloves. Gimme your gloves.
275. 8:16- You want my gloves? - Yes.
276. 8:17- [Tareeq] What am I gonna do without my gloves?
277. 8:18- Well, I'm catching the snake,
278. 8:19you're not catching the snake.
279. 8:20Gimme the gloves. - All right, here you go.
280. 8:21You can gimme 'em back, right?
281. 8:23- Yeah. - Okay, cool.
282. 8:23- I got it, I got it. I got it.
283. 8:25It's in my clip. Help, help, help, help, help.
284. 8:27- Oh, no! Oh, no!
285. 8:28- I got it.
286. 8:30- Oh, you got it.
287. 8:30- It's literally right there.
288. 8:31Hold on. You see it? It's right in front of us.
289. 8:36Got the middle of it. Oh!
290. 8:37Well, I failed but it was still fun.
291. 8:40- Well, if it makes you feel better, Drew,
292. 8:41you couldn't have done any worse.
293. 8:42- While I'm clearly not the best at grabbing snakes,
294. 8:44the scientists were able to help get the job done.
295. 8:46They're taking us to microchip each snake
296. 8:48to study how they live
297. 8:49and track their movements over time.
298. 8:51I'm really impressed how capturing their venom
299. 8:53can save so many lives.
300. 8:54- Unlike the other two snakes in here,
301. 8:56we're not using this one for anti-venom,
302. 8:58we're actually using it to collect scientific data.
303. 9:00Oh my gosh! Wait, you're just holding it?
304. 9:01Yeah, he just grabbed it. - Oh bro, be careful please.
305. 9:04- Now, we bust out this bad boy to microchip it.
306. 9:06All right, what do we do? Does it feel pain?
307. 9:10- A little.
308. 9:11- Now, if you take this microchip reader,
309. 9:13you do this, it'll identify this snake
310. 9:16and give you data on it.
311. 9:17So we're gonna release this snake
312. 9:19and then in 10 years, they're gonna come back,
313. 9:20see how it's changed,
314. 9:22learn all sorts of things about the snake
315. 9:23and use it for science.
316. 9:25- How're you feeling man? You enjoying it?
317. 9:26- Yeah, I'm having a great time.
318. 9:28I'll be honest, I thought there'd be more snakes.
319. 9:29We've just seen three, which is good.
320. 9:31- Yeah. - Things are heating up.
321. 9:32Looks like the boys found another one over there.
322. 9:34- [Drew] To really understand
323. 9:35what makes this island so unique,
324. 9:37I'm about to chat
325. 9:38with one of the lead scientists on the island.
326. 9:39Feeling good? - Yeah. Here is always good.
327. 9:42- Why can nobody come here? Why? Like no tourists here?
328. 9:45- Because...
329. 9:47You know, here has a legend
330. 9:50about the snakes since for that,
331. 9:53this place is forbidden.
332. 9:55- [Drew] What is your job here on Snake Island?
333. 9:56- I'm a scientist, biology scientist.
334. 9:59- [Drew] How many years have you been working with snakes?
335. 10:01- Mm, 20 years.
336. 10:02- Really? - Yes.
337. 10:04- [Drew] How many times have you been to the island?
338. 10:05- More than 15.
339. 10:06- [Drew] When you come to Snake Island,
340. 10:08how do you feel?
341. 10:09- Happy. Safe. More safe than Sao Paulo.
342. 10:12- [Drew] Mm-hmm. Me too.
343. 10:14(both laughing)
344. 10:15- Yeah, I really love this place.
345. 10:18(suspenseful music)
346. 10:21- [Drew] Have you ever had snake bite?
347. 10:23- No.
348. 10:24- Never? - No, never.
349. 10:25- What do you look for?
350. 10:26Like a little circle on the tree?
351. 10:28- Yes. And the tree and the top of the tree.
352. 10:30- I can't tell you guys
353. 10:31the feeling of being on an island
354. 10:33that is impossible to visit. Nobody comes here.
355. 10:36I'm really plugged in with all the travelers,
356. 10:37people who have been to every country in the world.
357. 10:39And the next step is to visit unrecognized countries
358. 10:41and places that are off limits.
359. 10:42And this is one that nobody can get in.
360. 10:45Like, I don't know a single human
361. 10:46that has been on this island.
362. 10:47So grateful that Mr. Beast invited me out here.
363. 10:49The sun's going down and I am feeling exhausted.
364. 10:52I haven't slept since I got the last minute call
365. 10:54from Jimmy to come out here.
366. 10:55And to tell you the truth, I'm a little worried
367. 10:57about spending the night on this deserted
368. 10:58snake infested island.
369. 11:00It's pitch black outside
370. 11:01and we are all setting up tents right now
371. 11:02to get some rest.
372. 11:03- I hate these. I honestly,
373. 11:04it's my least favorite part of these videos.
374. 11:06- I think this is the floor. I think.
375. 11:08- Drew, you know how to build a tent.
376. 11:09- I've done it before. - Or is this a hammock?
377. 11:12No! - Dude.
378. 11:13- [Mr. Beast] That's the tent.
379. 11:14- [Tareeq] I'd rather sleep in a tent than a-
380. 11:16- You've been traveling for the last like month
381. 11:18without stopping. How do you like-
382. 11:20- Well, and I'm about to go to Peru after this.
383. 11:21And then after Peru,
384. 11:23I'm flying to Europe, London, Dubai.
385. 11:25- And do you enjoy that? - No, I hate traveling.
386. 11:27I was actually just talking to the team.
387. 11:28I was like,
388. 11:29"Hey, we really need to do less flying
389. 11:30'cause it's killing me."
390. 11:32Like I'm not working out, my sleep schedule's a mess.
391. 11:34Like it's really stressing me out.
392. 11:36But I mean, the content's good.
393. 11:38- You're doing it for a reason, man so.
394. 11:39- Yeah. - You're getting some bangers.
395. 11:40- Thank you. - I'm happy to be here, dude.
396. 11:42Thanks a lot.
397. 11:43- Camp is now set up. Full disclosure,
398. 11:45I have no idea if these tents are snake proof.
399. 11:47- Oh, thanks Jimmy.
400. 11:47- Are you sleeping with these on or off?
401. 11:49- I'm keeping these on, bro.
402. 11:50I'm putting the gloves on too, bro.
403. 11:52- All right, I'm Drew and I'm gonna sleep on an island
404. 11:56full of snakes tonight with Mr. Beast.
405. 11:58- All right. - Did I do good?
406. 11:59- What he said is exactly right. Let's do it.
407. 12:01- We're eating dinner.
408. 12:02We brought some meals to Snake Island.
409. 12:04I'm eating ravioli,
410. 12:06actually eating better on this island
411. 12:07than sometimes I do at my house.
412. 12:09- I dunno where you're getting this appetite, brother.
413. 12:11I'm terrified. - It's so good,
414. 12:13- [Drew] Bro, this is crazy.
415. 12:14You never know where the snakes are in the trees.
416. 12:16- See any snakes, Drew?
417. 12:18- [Drew] No, but they all hide, bro.
418. 12:20- I know. They're impossible to find.
419. 12:21- [Tareeq] Dude, can you take it off?
420. 12:23- It's gone now. - Oh, what the-
421. 12:24- What do you mean it's gone?
422. 12:25- Cockroach. - Stop!
423. 12:25- I don't- - Stop! It's real.
424. 12:28I thought it was a bit, I thought it was a bit.
425. 12:29- Stop. Stop! - Please take it off!
426. 12:31- [Mr. Beast] Hold on, I'm gonna take it off.
427. 12:32That's right here. - Stop!
428. 12:34- [Tareeq] Wait a minute! Get it off of me!
429. 12:36Get it off.
430. 12:37(Tareeq screaming)
431. 12:41- Tareeq, when you're sleeping,
432. 12:42I hope a snake goes into your tent.
433. 12:44- I got this toy snake
434. 12:46and I'm gonna throw it at Nolan
435. 12:47at some point tomorrow.
436. 12:50Little does Nolan know.
437. 12:51- I'm gonna be sleeping among the snakes.
438. 12:54Little bit scary,
439. 12:55but we are the only ones sleeping on this island.
440. 12:58Such a cool thought.
441. 12:59This is our sleeping situation here in a tent.
442. 13:03Cannot open the zipper.
443. 13:04Otherwise, we're risking snake bites
444. 13:06and the helicopter can't get here at night,
445. 13:08so we would literally die.
446. 13:13Oh, it's hot.
447. 13:17The night passes without any snake bites
448. 13:19and by morning we're feeling somewhat rested.
449. 13:27(Tareeq grunting)
450. 13:29- [Drew] Wait, you slept with those on? Whoa!
451. 13:32- Did not take these off. Snake!
452. 13:34(Nolan screaming)
453. 13:37- Oh my God! - Where did that come from?
454. 13:38- It was in my bag the whole time.
455. 13:41- Wait, did you think that was real?
456. 13:42- I thought that was real. - I thought it was...
457. 13:43I saw it on the ground and I thought it was real.
458. 13:45- Okay, well,
459. 13:46we're not gonna get a better outro than that.
460. 13:48- I really wanna make this trip worthwhile for Jimmy,
461. 13:50since we didn't find as many snakes as we hoped for.
462. 13:52So when we get back to the city,
463. 13:54I'm inviting him to some acai,
464. 13:56the greatest treat that Brazil gave to the world.
465. 13:58But here's the catch, we have to go on a public beach
466. 14:01and the second people see him,
467. 14:02he's gonna get mobbed.
468. 14:03Welcome to Brazil, my friend. - Thank you.
469. 14:05- Yeah, this is all acai. You just scoop it yourself.
470. 14:09It's gonna change your life. Trust me.
471. 14:10- What'd you get, bro? - I got the Amazonica.
472. 14:12It looked like it was the most empty.
473. 14:14So I'm like, guess what people are grabbing.
474. 14:15- Oh yeah. - You know what I mean?
475. 14:17- That's a good thought.
476. 14:18Jimmy, eating acai in Brazil. - In Brazil.
477. 14:21- How is it? - Tastes so much better here.
478. 14:22- I've finally taken Jimmy
479. 14:23to do something that he should be doing.
480. 14:24Traveling, eating acai in Brazil.
481. 14:26- Getting it from the source.
482. 14:28- One of my favorite foods in the world.
483. 14:30How's it going?
484. 14:31- Good.
485. 14:33- Fantastic.
486. 14:34- Well, I took Mr. Beast to the beach
487. 14:36and he's getting swarmed with people.
488. 14:38- [Mr. Beast] I just look like I'm-
489. 14:39(people chattering)
490. 14:42- [Drew] I'm trying to make Jimmy feel
491. 14:43like a regular human but.
492. 14:47- Appreciate you guys.
493. 14:49- All right, all good, all good, all good.
494. 14:50Thank you. Thank you.
495. 14:51- Well, that was fun.
496. 14:52It's pretty much what we thought would happen.
497. 14:55I never thought I would make it to Snake Island,
498. 14:57especially not with Mr. Beast.
499. 14:59I can't thank him enough for the invite.
500. 15:01And I learned so much about YouTube
501. 15:02after hanging out with its biggest star.
502. 15:04We didn't catch as many snakes as we hoped,
503. 15:06but the ones we did find,
504. 15:07hit us with a jolt of adrenaline we'll never forget.
505. 15:10Brazil is easily my favorite country in South America
506. 15:12and this experience reminds me why.
507. 15:14What do you guys think about Snake Island?
