1. Three Biomes, One Brutal Race
The teams are introduced and the race begins across the jungle, desert, and Antarctic environments. The opening stretch covers the different biome challenges, early progress updates, and the first major struggles with heat, cold, and terrain.
We're in the middle of the world's deadliest jungle.
AND WE'RE IN THE ANTARCTIC.
AND WE'RE GOING TO be racing each other in these completely different environments.Each of us have to travel to our rescue helicopters, and whichever team gets there first wins $100,000 for their moms.
You guys literally stand no chance.
Guys, I literally can't even see in front of me.
STARTING IN THREE, TWO, ONE.GOOD LUCK.
I'M DOING THIS FOR MY MOM.
I don't care what we have to do, we're going to win.
Oh, sand, sand, sand.OH, NO.
BAD START, BAD START, BAD START.
Each group has its advantages and disadvantages.The desert, for example, no shade, no water, blistering heat.
I feel like an egg in a frying pan out here.
And that means that they have to carry an extra 35 lb of water each compared to everyone else.
And here in the Amazon, it's hot, there's hills, and most importantly, pause for 1 second, this.It's a list of everything that could kill us in the Amazon.
Okay, what's on the list?
Rattlesnakes, wandering spiders, jaguars, disease-carrying bats, bullet ants, anacondas, flash floods, army ants, army ants, diseases that mosquitoes carry.You get the point.Our danger is death.
And the Antarctic, well, that's pretty self-explanatory.
I told you to get a little frozen.It's really cold out here.
I actually can't see anything in front of me.
Now, even though they're getting absolutely destroyed compared to us right now, throughout this video, we'll be coming across different obstacles that might change the direction of this entire race.
Hey boys, how's the desert treating you?Is it hot?
Yeah, it's blistering out here.And these bags are heavy.
I see you're on the tracking app.
You guys are about 6% done, we're around 4% done, and the Arctic's still on 2%.
How does our dust taste?Literally.
All right, this is looking a little sketchy up here, I'm not going to lie.
Should we look at the navigation?
In case you're curious, each one of plotted our own path, and then we have a compass on our phone.According to my compass, we have to go this way.
the GPS.With the visibility being so low, we might have to go ahead and set up camp immediately.
Well, you know what?We're going to be the most rested.
And while the Antarctic was dealing with the natural elements of their biome, we were facing the challenges of our own.
The cameraman's doing the challenge as well.Oh, he almost fell twice.You good?
Okay.There's no shot the desert's hotter than this.I don't know if I've ever sweat this much in my life.You might be wondering, babe, if we step in this water, our shoes will get soaked, and we'll be miserable the rest of the video.
Yeah, how are we going to cross?
OH, THAT'S ACTUALLY PERFECT.WOAH.TIMBER.
WOO!Get yourself a man who can build you a bridge in the Amazon.
Now my wife can cross the little creek without getting wet.Ingenuity.
Oh my gosh, that was terrifying.Let's continue our journey.
After hacking through the brush and hiking up treacherous terrain,
We needed a new source of water.
Babe, we should find water.
Ooh, this is kind of pretty.
Okay, so this bottle actually filters bacteria and viruses, so we can drink the Amazon water.
And there you go.Hold that.Shake it a little bit, and now we have some good-tasting electrolytes.
After hours of struggling, we were only 10% of the way to our helicopter.Desert was at 11%, and Antarctic was still at 7%.
All right, we got to catch up to the boys.
You know, getting over every single dune makes me even more motivated.Come on.
We're going to win.WE'RE GOING TO WIN.
OH, WE'RE GOING TO WIN.WE'RE
Is it just my bag killing me?
I got you.Get your rest in.
thanks for carrying my bag.
Oh, this is so much easier without those bags.Let's go kick Desert's butt.We're literally crushing it right now.We're in first place.The terrain's about to change.Hopefully it's A LOT EASIER.
THAT'S INSANE.That is so pretty.And now we're going to get down all of this somehow to that flat land.Yo, Jimmy, once we get down there, you don't stand a chance.It's over.
I'm going to be honest, us making camp early is a huge disadvantage because the other teams are able to keep walking.We're wasting our daylight to get in a tent.So, we're going to be way behind in the race.
While green team was struggling to stay warm, we were having the opposite problem.
We didn't bring a fan.So, we're cooling off with a drone.This feels amazing.Oh my gosh.
This frog is just jay chilling on a leaf.Such a cute frog.
We should call it Todd the toad.
I did not mean to disturb its home.Here's the current standing.We're 15% Desert, 20% Antarctic.I don't know what they're doing.They're only at 7%.They're falling behind.
Yo, that's an entire skeleton right now.I don't even know if that's a human or not.
Well, judging by the skull, I don't think it's a human.
Judging by the skull, it's dead.
We're getting 200 grand or we're going TO DIE TRYING.
WE ARE STILL in the lead, Nolan, but just barely.
If we stop in for a second, Jimmy's going to catch up.
Bro, this is insane.I guess we just walk.
Unless you want to make a jump for it.
We just have to walk around it really fast at this point.
How do we get stuck with the world's biggest canyon?
I wonder what Jimmy and Tia are going through right now.
I feel like I've been walking through this jungle forever.The Amazon's crazy, man.
We're now about a quarter of the way done, and so is Desert.
It's been a grueling grind, but we finally caught up.So, they're not responding on the walkie, but I'm going to assume they took a break.And that's allowed us to catch up.
For the first time in this video, Jimmy has the lead.That cost us so much time.We got to make a change.We started the day with four of these.Each one of them weighs 8 lb.We need to get rid of some weight.
2. Jungle Detours and River Crossing
The jungle team pushes through exhaustion, camps near the river, and plans a raft crossing. The chapter builds through the raft construction, a risky river crossing, and the consequences of being swept off course.
Kind of hard to look at, honestly.
Oh, this might be the biggest mistake of this video, but we'll find out later.
After 4 hours of hiking through the perilous jungle, we were finally near the river.
Okay, it's okay.I don't weigh as much as you do.And this branch HOLDS FOR ME.
WE'RE MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.WE'RE still ahead of the desert, boys.
We are sore, out of our minds.We're going to take a 10-minute little break here.
I wonder how the rest of the gang's doing.How are you feeling in there, Alvin?
Oh my goodness, Darius, my hair.
Yeah, it looks pretty wild right now.
They're literally icicles.
I'm about to come inside.
It's a little more extreme than I was expecting.
That was so much effort just to put a tent up.That's all we did.
I'm pretty beat right now.
I wish I was in the desert right now.
It's getting dark.We're losing sunlight.We need to camp out.This is going to be a good place for a tent.I think we deserve some rest.
We made it to the river.All right, here's the game plan.We're going to camp.
we're going to build a raft.
And we're going to sail across this river.
You mean the one filled with anacondas, potentially piranhas, and the alligator stuff?
I thought the Amazon was easiest, but my gosh, this is hard.We have to build a raft tomorrow.Oh, this is going to be so hard.So, we're going to walk alongside the river until we find a good place to camp.
Oh, that's not bad.Time to set up camp.My back is dying.My shoulders are hurting, but we have a tent.Let's get to building.These are inflatable mattresses.All you do is just blow right in there.
Now that we're not surrounded by trees, I was able to set up a Starlink which FaceTime the gang.
What up, guys?Me and Tia are 40% Trik and Nolan are around a third of the way done and you two are 7%?
Oh, don't you worry.We're going to come back tomorrow and we're going to be way faster.
So far we're in second place.So tomorrow we need to lock in.
We're nice and snug inside the tent.I'm going to keep an eye on their positions to make sure they're not lying to us and about to start walking and then I'll probably get a couple hours of sleep.See you guys in the morning.
It seems like everybody's still sleeping.They haven't moved at all.
Yeah, nobody's moved at all yet.
We're awake and we're about to get moving here in the next few minutes and we are going full speed.We have to make some ground up.
Um this is beautiful though.
Yeah, yesterday we couldn't even see in front of our hands.
We do actually need to take advantage of the fact that the boys are sleeping and the fact that we can see.
They're going to wake up and be really surprised.
The sun is out.Let's get going.Em and Tia might be a good couple but couple losers.Look, dude, it's a river.
This is insane.Do you think Jimmy's river looks like this?
Well, ours was just slightly bigger.
And for those of you that are going to comment, why don't you guys swim across?Look how strong that current is.
With our backpacks, that current would drag us down river, possibly putting our lives at risk and even worse.
We would guaranteed lose.Hence, why we need to build a raft.
Hey, those mattresses are not going to be enough to hold our weight.We're going to need something to tie them to.Bamboo would be perfect.
This looks like bamboo over here.
Yay.This looks like somebody else's raft and they didn't make it out.
Now, I've built my fair share of rafts and where last time I had a survival expert helping us every step of the way, This time we have an expert in well, everything.
Hey Gemini, how do I turn mattresses, bamboo, and some rope into a raft?
Here's a straightforward guide to assembling the raft.Place the two thick bamboo logs parallel to each other.Place the two wooden branches horizontally.Layer the two inflatable sleeping pads directly on top of each other and secure the pads.
All right, Allison.So, it looks like right here, if we take this path, we can cut straight through.
Oh, it's going to make it so much faster.
So, let's go blind.Let's take a risk.
This gamble could help us catch up or even take the lead.But, if it's too steep, we're going to lose the entire challenge.
That's a risk I'm willing to take.
This desert is so dry that this river literally dried up.We're walking where it once used to be.
I can't believe this.We're catching up to you, Jimmy.
Oh gosh, the boys are moving.
All right.Hey Gemini, how do I tie a slip knot?
Go ahead and make a loop with your rope, crossing the working end over the standing part.Reach through that loop you just made.
Thankfully, the boys are being a little less productive with their Gemini.
It's a giant shark tooth.
Why is there a shark tooth here?
The short answer is that the Peruvian desert was once a thriving shallow ocean.
Dude, I'm so excited about this.
We are on the right path.It's just This definitely isn't easy.
I'm a little cold and I am sweating.I'm feeling really good about our new plan.
And we are going to catch up.
Woah, they're making a a lot of ground.Hold on, Nolan.We're in the lead.
We're ahead.I'd pay to see the look on Jimmy's face once he sees we caught up.
Boys.What?Woah.You guys just passed us.Okay, we got to get building this raft.
Take the zip ties you used to zip tie his hammers on trees, use them to secure in the bamboo.
What do you guys think of our raft?
It's the same like the one we built in the raft video.Well, I don't have a week.I had 7 hours.
Hopefully, the anacondas think we're a very big predator and leave us alone.
Yeah, we haven't showered.You guys don't want to eat us.
We don't taste very good.
This raft obviously isn't big enough for the three of us.So, we're going to put our bags on with Tia and me and Zach are just going to get drenched.
Okay, I'm still I'm still afloat.
Oh, that current is Whoa.
Should I also be kicking?
We're making progress.Shore's over there, guys.Keep kicking.
This might be the craziest thing I've ever done.This might be the dumbest thing I've ever done.
Okay, I can see the shore.Good job, man.Keep
We're not supposed to land way back there.
We're in the middle of the river.
This current does not want us to stop.
I'm trying to kick my feet.
We're probably a mile off.
This current does not want us to stop.
We should probably aim for that.
We got to really push to our left here.
If you don't paddle now, you're going to have to walk another 5 hours.
I'm pushing as hard as I can.It's getting deeper.
Come on.This is our last shot.If we miss this one, it's GG's.It's right there.It's so close.We're not going to make it.
We made it.We made it.Oh, sit down, Jimmy.I feel like jello legs.
3. Storms, Shortcuts, and Endurance
With the race tightening, the teams take different risks, push through brutal weather, and keep moving despite exhaustion. The focus shifts to the storm, the desert grind, and the decision to stop sharing progress updates as the finish line nears.
But unfortunately, missing our landing spot made our shortcut into a long cut.Guys, we just sailed across the river.
That's crazy.It took you guys this long to sail?
We got swept like 2 miles off course.It was really bad.Arctic, what's going on?
Yeah, I want a shortcut like that.
Bro, they're flying.You guys are about to beat Jimmy.
Well, I doubt they have any more shortcuts.
All right, so as of right now, Rick and Nolan are 58% we're 47% and Darris and Allison with their massive shortcut are at 40%.Seems like it's anyone's game.
Hey guys, definitely get some rest.You know, enjoy yourself.
All right, we're not stopping, babe.Let's get going.
Yo, he's definitely not stopping.
No, he's definitely going tonight.
So, we take the tent and sleeping bag.We leave it here.We take only the bare minimum and we go.We go all night and we make it to the helicopter before the boys.
Jimmy's literally on us right now?
This is brutal.You can see the sweat all over me.
But we don't care how tired we are.I'm not going to give Jimmy the satisfaction of winning.
Worst thing is we're literally about to put them in last place.
We just need to go straight this way for a little bit longer.
We're going to have to trek all the way up a mountain to get distracted.
It was a lot of work to get up here, but it was totally worth seeing the view.
Yeah, this is this is beautiful.
Slow and steady, down the mountain, down this big mountain.You good?
This is a lot of pressure on my knees.This is the first time where I feel like our body's not keeping up with our minds.
It's all about breathing, bro.It's all about breathing.In through the nose, out through the mouth at a consistent pace.No, that's hyperventilating.
The Amazon's actually very beautiful.
While technically edible, the fruit is packed with hard dark seeds that can easily chip a tooth.
Sorry, babe.You can't eat it.
The storm is literally coming.
I can feel it on my face.
Wow, the visibility's getting worse.
Keep going, brother.You got it.
We're probably pushing ourselves too hard, but I really don't care.
Nothing but pain at this point, bro.
Now, they have a sense of urgency right there.
We're about 12% behind Desert, so we're kicking into warp speed.I'm just focused on moving.I wonder what the boys are doing.Oh, there's actually five more hills.That is the worst outcome.Oh, this is actually It couldn't get worse than this, to be honest.I thought this was the last big hill.
The wind is already picking up, which is really concerning.We're going to push ourselves to the limit out here so that we can win for our moms.
I literally can't see in front of me right now, though.
I don't even know where I'm going.
And while the weather pushed them to walk through a literal blizzard, walking non-stop for an hour pushed our bodies to the absolute limit.
Jimmy's throwing up.I'll do it.It's my turn.Come on.All right.
Oh my gosh, my back feels so good without that.Passenger princess now.
Come on, my princess.I got you.
You look like a little kid going to school.
I feel like a little kid going to school.
Even with all the odds against us, Nolan, we're still going to win, bro.We're going to finish it today.I don't care what we got to do.
Okay, this is This is my mom.
Hello.Hi.Make sure you're drinking plenty of water and be safe, but go for it and win this.
Winds are coming in up to around 50 mph gusts.
We just put ourselves in a worse position than we already were.
And the wrong mistake can easily put you in a situation that you can't get out of.
My goggles aren't working.I'M BLINDED.
The visibility is getting so bad that we're having to stop.
Nothing else we can do but just hunker down for this storm.I almost didn't want to believe it.I was just hoping and praying that it would just go away.
Mother nature has kicked us in the butt.
Uh-oh, Tia has the bag and is pushing.
I forgot I was wearing the bag.
We have been booking it.We finished crossing the river an hour and a half ago.Since then, they went from 59% to 72%.
There's no shot they can maintain that pace.They're going to have to take a break soon.
It's hot.We're thirsty.This bag's heavy.
All we've been doing is walking, walking, walking on this flat land.
Oh, this desert is brutal.
Oh my god.Oh, what I would give for an ice cube right now.
like physical exertion to its max.
Nolan, how are you?How are you guys?I've been thinking about you.
Mom can't save you out here, Nolan.
Uphill with like 60 lb on your back, sand sinking with every step.I mean, this is as hard as it gets for us, bro.
All right, boys.I have a proposition.We're at 66%, you're at 73%.Our takes a little over halfway.And what if starting now, there's no updates until someone wins?
I say that's a great idea.
Yeah, we're we're in agreement.
If everyone's on board, good luck, guys.You're going to need it.
And just like them, you now won't know how close we are to finishing, either.
We have no idea how fast everybody else is moving now.So, we're just NOT GOING TO STOP.
WE GOT TO BOOK IT.WE GOT TO GO.
I'm on a mission to win.I'm not here to make friends.
That's a woman on a mission.
I'm doing this for my mommy.
Oh my gosh, it is so windy.YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING FROM UP HERE.
Just over that way is where we got to get picked up.
For our moms, and more importantly, so Nolan can't get a dub over us.
I wonder if the desert boys are pushing as hard as we are.
I think I'm I'm like hitting E for real on these legs.
We still got 2 and 1/2 miles to go.
4. Hydration Boost and Final Sprint
The teams receive a surprise hydration drop, regroup, and make one last push toward the helicopters. The race ends with the final climb, the touch-down at the finish, and the reveal of who won and who arrived too late.
So, we have to finish very soon.
I have something urgent.Everyone stop moving.
Look up.I I see a tree.One second, let me get away from this.
That is not the evacuation helicopter.That is the hydrationcopter.You have to go and work your butts off and statistically, you're probably dehydrated.
Oh, yes, dude.So, I'm sending helicopters to BRING EVERYONE SOME PEDIALYTE SO WE CAN GET REHYDRATED.
Pedialyte helps replenish fluids and our electrolytes so we'll all be ready to crush the rest of THIS TRACK.
HEY GUYS, IT'S GOING TO TAKE US 10 MINUTES TO GET THERE.SORRY.
YEAH, OH, I'm falling over Allison.Ow.
THANK YOU.OH, YEAH.Let's go.
Oh, no way.This is amazing.
I see it.Why is it so far?
OH, YEAH.One for the camera.
Look at all this Pedialyte.
Pedialyte comes in clutch when you need to rehydrate and feel better.
Wow, this is a lot of good stuff in it.
Ah, these freezer pops are so good.
Drink up.We're going to need it for the rest of this journey, brother.
This is the best thing to happen today, honestly.
Absolutely.Pedialyte is now dye-free but with the same amazing taste.You want to try it for yourself?Scan this QR code or click the link in the description.You can get it on Amazon right now.And if you use the code Beast40, it's 40% off.Go buy some.I think when I'm ready to finish this course, brother.We just got really hydrated.
I think we full send it till the end.We're leaving the backpacks here.We will come back to them.Make sure nothing's left behind.You ready to go?
I just wanted to call you and show you our horrible conditions here.
Feel a little defeated due to the circumstances.
You know you're a winner.You want to push through this.And I want you to come back strong.I want you to come back with a great experience.
You know what?Now I feel 10 times better cuz I was a little sad before.
Mother nature right now is not allowing us to go anywhere.
Okay, we're locked in now.This is literally the final stretch.
Something tells me this is weirdly neck and neck with the desert boys.
So we got to push through the pain.
We left without any PD lighter, water, or anything.We're doing this for you, Mom.
It's between us and Jimmy.We can't let him win.
Uh, it's uphill and burns.
Uh, I can feel my heart beating out of my chest.
Uh, there's only one winner and just over this hill is our helicopter.
It's going to be us, baby.
Everything in my body is tired.It all wants to stop, but the mind quits way before the body.So we're going to keep going.I just might puke again.
I'll carry the torch.Cameraman down.We don't stop moving.
We have no idea if Jimmy's on our tail.
Jimmy might also see his helicopter.
No shot we let Jimmy win.
Guys, I think we're here.I think we're here.
It's actually within sight.Mom, if you're watching this, I'm going to get you that 100K.
100 GRAND FOR OUR MOMS!RIGHT THERE!
I'm literally about to cry, bro.
I have the opposite problem.I can feel my legs and they don't feel good.
Let's go give our moms the money.
There you go.Congratulations.We won.
We have the best moms ever.Thanks for watching.
There is There's nothing there.
I think we uh I think we might have been a little late.
