Added: 2026-05-26

[00:00:03]This is the million dollars your late uncle spoke about.

[00:00:07]Geez, I never seen that much money in my life. We've investigated your background, Mr. Brewster.

[00:00:13]The highest salary you've ever had is $11,000 for one season with the Toledo Mud Hens.

[00:00:19]You've never even had a credit card in your entire life. Think of spending a million dollars a day for 30 days with no assets to show for it. It's quite difficult to spend money without accumulating assets, even when the money is spent foolishly. Surely no one could blame you for refusing such an eccentric gamble. That's good advice.

[00:00:41]Take the million.

[00:00:43]It's yours.

[00:00:45]What happens if I don't take the million dollars and I I try for the whole thing and and I fail? Granville and Baxter would gain power of attorney over the estate. They would administrate in some charitable fashion for a considerable fee, I'm sure. What do you think? I don't benefit either way, Mr. Brewster.

[00:01:02]I'm a completely neutral observer.

[00:01:12]Bird in the hand.

[00:01:14]Something my grandmother used to say.

[00:01:26]I'm going to go for the 300 million.

[00:01:28]When you appear before us again in 30 days, Mr. Brewster, you must be totally penniless, without assets of any kind, having nothing but the receipt for your expenses and the clothes on your back.

[00:01:38]Are you certain you want to do this, Mr. Brewster? No, sir, I'm not certain, but I'm going to have a lot of fun finding out.

[00:01:44]Send Drake up here immediately.

[00:01:46]>> Good luck to you, sir.

[00:01:47]You're due back in 30 days. Gentlemen, shall we say 12:00 midnight, exactly.

[00:01:54]We're going to assign one of our paralegals from the accounting department to keep track of your expenditures and receipts. Does this guy Drake know about the 300 million? All Drake knows is that you've inherited $30 million, which must be precisely accounted for.

[00:02:09]If you tell Drake the truth, you'll automatically lose the entire inheritance. I'm telling Drake My lips are sealed. Lock them, throw away the key like that. Hello Drake, this is where I talk.

[00:02:22]Miss Drake, this is Mr. Brewster, the client we briefed you about.

[00:02:28]Oh, yes, Mr. Brewster. It's very nice to meet you.

[00:02:32]Damn, it doesn't rain, it pours.

[00:02:34]I beg your pardon? The $30 million is deposited in a bank across the street, Mr. Brewster. I imagine you'd like to make sure it's real and possibly make a withdrawal. Yeah, I I I like to make sure it's real. Step this way, please.

[00:02:46]Excuse me. Hey, good luck. Yes, yes.

[00:02:55]SPIKE!

[00:02:56]>> [screaming] >> WHAT'S WRONG? SPIKE, WHAT'S WRONG? JUST GIVE ME A MINUTE. SPIKE! SPIKE! I YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'VE SEEN A GHOST. I I I DID. BUT I'M NOT I'M OKAY. IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT. I'M GOING TO BE BACK ON THE TEAM.

[00:03:06]>> BACK ON THE ONLY TEAM.

[00:03:07]>> WHAT? YEAH, I'M GOING TO BE A LITTLE CRAZY for a while, but I'm not crazy.

[00:03:10]People are going to think I'm crazy. You stick with me, you're my buddy. Don't worry. YOU WORK HERE? NO, NO, they just hired me to follow you.

[00:03:15]>> Wait, listen. Would you like TO WORK FOR MORE MONEY than you ever made in your life? I mean, it's a job. It's It's going to be I got to check out something see if it's real first. Are you interested?

[00:03:27]>> WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? YOU'RE NOT FILLING ME IN. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? WHAT'S WRONG? WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU IN THERE?

[00:03:30]>> WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHAT DID THEY DO TO ME IN THERE? I I THINK I JUST INHERITED $30 million.

[00:04:02]BUT I'M HAVING A GOOD TIME, TOO. I'M HIS BEST FRIEND. I don't know if I told you that or not.

[00:04:08]>> [music] >> Jesus.

[00:04:31]This is real money.

[00:04:34]Money.

[00:04:37]Well, we're going to have a a lot of fun with this kind of money.

[00:04:40]>> [laughter] >> This is the real deal. It is indeed, Mr. Brewster. Now, let's not be rash with our new found money. Right. Jake, I'd like to hire you as my official photographer. Salary, $10,000 a week.

[00:04:53]$10,000 a week? THIS GUY'S A JERK.

[00:04:54]MONEY. SHUT UP. I accept.

[00:04:57]And hold still for the camera, Mr. Brewster.

[00:05:01]Not bad for a guy who didn't finish his first year of college, wouldn't you say?

[00:05:04]Oh, you're doing great, but uh I don't think you inherited me with your money, Mr. Brewster. Needless to say, we'll be offering you the special 24% interest rate we reserve for major corporations and a few of our Arab friends. I don't want any interest.

[00:05:19]I want it in a regular account that doesn't pay anything.

[00:05:22]After all, IT'S YOUR FAULT. I SHOULD BE PAYING YOU RENT. VERY GOOD, MR. BREWSTER. BUT, MR. BREWSTER, you'd be giving up $7.2 million a year just in interest alone.

[00:05:31]Just because I'm rich doesn't mean I should take advantage of people. Am I right? Oh, yes. Right you are, Mr. Brewster. I'd like to get $3 million in cash now to take it with me. What? You need $3 million? Do you know how much money $3 million IN CASH IS? YOU DON'T WALK AROUND the street walk around million in cash. You need an army of security guards. The man's right.

[00:05:50]What do they pay you here? About 350 a week before taxes.

[00:05:53]You can't live on that. This is a dangerous job. I'll pay you $2,000 a week to be the chief of my security.

[00:05:59]>> No, no, no, no, no, no.

[00:06:00]Oh, yes. That's wrong. Okay. $4,000 a week. And you get 20 other guys, and I'll pay them $3,000 a week. You're missing the point, man. Now, go in there and get the $3 million, and follow me.

[00:06:10]YES, SIR. EVERYBODY, FOLLOW ME. YOU CAN'T SPEND THIS MONEY. Listen to ME.

[00:06:13]THIS IS SPIKE. THIS SHOW IS LIVE. YOU DON'T DO THINGS LIKE THAT. YOU WILL LOSE YOUR job in the first five minutes OF THE GAME.

[00:06:22]LISTEN TO ME. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I'LL TELL YOU WHAT'S GOING ON.

[00:06:24]>> YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THOSE PEOPLE.

[00:06:25]>> LISTEN TO ME. THEY'RE GOING TO THINK I'm crazy, but I'm not. You got to stick with me, cuz this is it. This is the way we're going to beat THE SYSTEM.
