- Hey what is going on you guys?
Welcome back to the channel.
I got my friends in the background here.
We are shooting a video today.
And what we're going to be doing,
I've been trying these different money making ideas.
Some of them are good,
some of them are not good.
But it seems like you guys
really enjoyed them.
Like I did one completing online surveys,
or like trying random money making apps.
So today I'm going to be spending the day
collecting bottles and cans
off the street,
or wherever I can find them,
and then we'll cash it out
at the end of the day
and see how much money
you can actually make collecting
cans and bottles.
So if you guys like this style
of video where I'm documenting
different money making strategies
in real life,
go ahead and drop a like on this video
just so I know.
And if you have an idea for a future video,
leave me a comment down below.
But I hope you guys enjoy this one.
I've got some seltzer bottles in here
that we'll start out with.
Um, yeah, you know you just gotta
find cans and bottles wherever they may be.
So
I've only got two in here,
but we started off with $0.10 on the day
so we'll see where else we can find
some cans and bottles.
So Jake let me just get your prediction here,
how much money do you think we're
gonna come up with by the end of the day?
- I'd say about six bucks.
- Six bucks.
- Rob, what do you think?
- 50 cents.
- 50 cents?
We already have $0.15
so that's only like $0.35 more.
- $0.40.
- You think $0.40, okay.
My prediction personally,
and what we're gonna do
is well whatever we make in cans,
that's how much we can spend on dinner.
That's the other,
I don't think I told you guys that,
but yeah that's part of it too.
- 20 dollars
- 20 dollars, well I think we're going to end up with like
two trash bags maybe a trash bag and a half full, and that's
probably going to get us like seven or eight bucks, we'll be
hitting the dollar menu at like Wendy's probably.
So to add to the video, since we may be possibly, you know
walking in road ways and whatnot to find cans, we decided to
pick up some hard hats and vest, just to have that high
visibility
so we're going to be assembling these now
and putting them on.
Feeling pretty ridiculous right now to be honest
with you, I didn't realize how dumb
you would feel, wearing a construction hat and vest, but
- [Jake] This, this says a lot about construction workers.
- Well, I guess I feel I have a sense I feel very I feel
like I have a sense of authority like I could stop cars
or like measure things, but
we've got a potential for some cans here maybe in the ditch
so like we're going to go check out the ditch. Jake I think
I'll have you go in if you don't mind, and scope it out
for us.
- [Jake] I see something back there too.
- Really, all right we've got our first can, we've got
we've got a bottle all right can you grab this can for us?
- [Jake] I'm going to grab the can
- We've got our first actual can [Jake] Oh God it's like
- Is it full, uh this is going to be disgusting.
- [Jake] I really hope that's whatever the drink is and not
- That's really a good point, either way, five cents.
- [Jake] Got it
- And then we got a water bottle over here.
- [Jake] All right, so this one we're going to be a little
careful with, because the label's falling off so...
- Yeah we should be able to return it as long as the label
is still on there. - [Jake] Right, so we need to keep
those labels in tact. In my experience of ah my younger days
I know that I would definitely be over
- Over in the baseball field if you were drinking?
- [Jake] Yeah, I'd be over on that picnic table over there
that way so my dad couldn't find me.
- All right let's go scope it out, take a look oh yeah
that picnic table looks like it's got some potential.
We've got some bottles here, bit of a treacherous location
you always want to watch out for these occupational
hazards when you're the work place, but yeah we got a
Powerade bottle.
This is old, wonder if they'll be able to accept these and
we got a Gatorade bottle so, pretty good pretty good find
- oh that thing's leaking
- [Jake] Oh man, it's Diet Cola. - Diet Cola
- Uncrush it a little bit - [Jake] Yeah let's try that
Do that a little bit, man I don't know - I don't know
- [Jake] I've never even seen that can before in my life.
- Probably from before our time - Right
- All right so it's been like 40 minutes since our last
discovery, but we've just found a water bottle so
so far I think we have maybe eight, or nine, maybe ten
so we really got to step these numbers up if we're actually
trying to have like anywhere near a decent meal tonight.
- [Jake] I'm starving - But yeah we got like maybe maybe
ten at most bottles and cans so far, I think we need a new
location what do you guys think? - [Jake] Absolutely
- Think we need a new location?
We just pulled in we already see like seven or eight cans
just from like just the visuals so this is this is going
to be a gold mine.
- [Jake] Found one in the car
- Yeah we actually did we found one while we were driving
down, there's a WD-40 can that's the wrong kind of can.
We were driving by and we just pulled over the car and just
grabbed a can so, it's probably not the safest thing but
it seemed all right.
There's like four cans back here by this nasty port a john.
- [Jake] It's a candom - Ewe just get the just get the cans
and leave the - [Jake] Do not pick up the condom? - No
that doesn't there's no refund on that. - [Jake] You sure?
- Yeah, I'm pretty sure
This is, this is the, this is the gold mine there's like
this is full of cans there's like nine cans in here. I mean,
we're going to have to take these cans. - [Jake] Oh yeah
baby
- We alr, we're going to have a full bag already.
I don't want to dig through it, this appears to be
recyclable, yep five cent deposit five cent deposit
gold mine dude gold mine
- Did you ever think you'd be picking cans out the trash
Jake
- [Jake] Uh, I mean not for actual currency.
- Just a couple of boys, out here collecting some cans
average Saturday afternoon
So if you look closely we're coming up on a couple of
oh it's actually just one big boy, it's a big Bud light
- [Jake] It's a tall boy - It's a tall boy
That's a 24 ounce, that's a big beer
we're actually doing all right now, I think we got like
maybe, maybe we're up to a buck.
- [Jake] All right you've got to be really quiet
sneaking up over here on a can and it's natural habitat
up to covert.
Yeah he's full - He's full
you've scared the juices right out of him
All right let's cross and check out the boat launch so I
think I think we'll do well at the boat launch.
I'm going to throw you this can all right or this bottle.
Absolute gold mine here, this guy probably had like a 12
pack of PBR.
This is really getting to be like - [Jake] I don't want to
dig too far.
- Yeah I'll grab what's on the surface
- [Jake] Look like an owl's pellet in there or something
- What is that? Oh that's just not right. I'm just going
to grab what's on the surface here then I'm going to go
wash my hands cause this is getting pretty gross, but how
can you turn down these easy ones.
Oh my God is this, there's a bag full of, full of Miller
Lite cans at the bottom, oh nah it's just too gross.
It's getting gross.
Who's going after it?
- [Jake] If it was a little warmer I think I'd jump in
- 15 bucks for the can?
- Ryan and I will both give you 15 dollars each.
- [Ryan] No cause then we'd have to end the video and go
home cause you're going to be freezing.
- [Jake] We're uh, we're probably a little over half way
full.
- [Ryan] All right so as the day has been going on here
we've gotten lazier and lazier and now we're attempting to
find cans by drive by so we're in this parking lot
where people often are tailgating so we're hoping to find
some ah, find some cans and bottles but maybe they do a
pretty good job cleaning this up cause I'm not seeing
any yet, but ah we'll check it out we'll go around the whole
parking lot.
Did you ever think this what you'd be doing at 24?
- Um, no
- [Ryan] Get him, get in there is that a double?
- [Jake] Found it
- [Ryan] All right so we are deep in the woods now, but we
just hit the mother load, there's probably like
seven or eight cans scattered about here so this is
like this is like the jackpot of a of a bottle and can
collector this is like this is what you're looking for
this is what it's all about right here, this is money
Money just growing on trees and the forest. Go to concert
venues a lot of blue cups too, but lots of lots of cans and
bottles, we almost got two full bags here dude, oh another
one
- [Jake] Something definitely died down here
- [Ryan] You just getting a whiff of that too?
- [Jake] Yeah it smells like, yeah like something died
- [Ryan] Let me just go down and get those two water
bottles and then, actually no it smells really bad down here
oh my god it smells horrible down here, oh that
that was not beer, that can, that was not beer in that can
that was something else I dropped it, yep that's good
that's good
all right guys so we've got two bags of cans, I would say
we probably have close to like maybe 75 to 100 and they
smell so bad to we're going to cash them out see what we got
- [Jake] This is the one, this is the one that smells like
literally death.
- [Ryan] All right so our first slip here is for 30 cents
second slip is for five cents so we're up to 35 cents
the big one here a dollar fifty-five so that puts us at
a dollar ninety and then we have a 55 cent slip which
puts us at 245 and a 25 cent slip so we have altogether
two dollars and 70 cents from an entire day of collecting
cans and bottles um, the guy was very nice and let us wash
our hands because we must've picked up cans that had a dead
animal in them or near them because they was, it was
disgusting put it that way.
Let's go see what you know two dollars and 70 cents
can buy us here for some dinner.
Even cheaper
- [Jake] That's if you're a price shopper per se
- [Ryan] Well I'm a price shopper per se
- [Jake] Do you have the, you have the thing, you have the
- [Ryan] Well yeah, well they probably could just use the
store card.
- [Jake] Which Flav?
- [Ryan] Blackberry, raspberry blackberry
- [Jake] I'm down with that
- [Ryan] So that's 70 cents this was a dollar 19 so
that's two bucks, we got like 60 cents left.
- [Jake] 60 cents?
- [Ryan] No
- [Jake] You know you've got to open those slow
ah man
- [Ryan] Did you get that on video at least?
- Nah, I got like the tail end
- [Ryan] Ah dammit it's one of those sweet and salt
one with everything else - [Jake] Oh God
- All right well we did it
- [Ryan] Mm, just spilled this all over myself
so we ended up spending exactly two dollars and 70 cents
I don't know how we even managed that, but we spent
270 um I got a, we got a seltzer and we got a large kit kat
and I spilled majority of the seltzer all over myself
just now.
- [Jake] It's so crazy how that just like worked out like
that. - [Ryan] Exactly 270,
but all in all not a great way to make
money at all I would say in fact a really bad way to make
money, but I mean I guess we cleaned up the environment
and got some cans out of the woods, but other than that
this is not something I would recommend anybody. With that
being said that wraps up this video if you guys have anymore
money making ideas drop them in the comments below
Jake thanks for coming on, I'll have you on again
and see you guys in the next video.
