I promise I didn't steal anything. Stop lying to me. I promise. Have you ever caught someone lying to you? Well today we're going to be putting strangers to the test to see if they'll either lie to protect themselves or do the right thing and tell the truth. If they do the right thing they might even get a little reward. Some money sign, you know what I mean? It's like a money sign. And we're going to start with those scumbags who put soda in their water cups. You're not that guy, are you? Please tell me you're not that guy. Please. Okay so for this first one I've decided to prosecute liars for the most petty crime you can commit. We've bugged Jonah's Kabob, an entire restaurant with microphones and cameras all to find people who put soda in water cups. You guys ever done that? I do that every time I go to eat food. You're a thief and a liar. Dude. Who the hell is this guy? So this is my buddy Stavros and this guy right here is going to be the one actually prosecuting the people. You can tell by his cop uniform right here. So say someone steals, what's your game plan? I go in there and I publicly humiliate them. And if that doesn't work... We've already got our first customer. Here we go, here we go, here we go. And behind the counter serving everyone is Jonah of Jonah's Kabob. So everyone's going to get a free water cup and we're going to see if they steal or not. Can I get these wings? Absolutely brother. You want a water cup? Yes please. I'm going to write water cup on it. All right. Let's see if he gets water. We've also rigged up the entire restaurant with sirens that I can control just by hitting this button right here. Oh no. All right, he got water. Good for him. He did it. Water. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Go get him, get him, get him. Yo. You animal. What is that pal, huh? What's in here? This is Sprite. That's literally water. Wait, he, that guy was innocent. Wait, wait, he's getting the wrong guy. That's some Sprite. Wrong guy, it's the wrong, bro. This is what happens when you hire a cop off of Craigslist, man. You don't get cops on Craigslist. Call the police department, Eric. Never break the law again. We paid for a circus clown in a cop uniform. All right, Stav, you prosecuted the wrong guy. It just felt right. It wasn't right. You can't just abuse innocent civilians. You don't know what it's like in there. I think it's time for you to put your money where your mouth is, pal. You don't think I can be a better cop than Walmart cop over here? Oh, Walmart cop, all right, here we go. Put on the shirt, pal. Try a day in his shoes. Here we go. He thinks this is a joke. Watch out. Did he put Fanta in his cup? What's in your cup? Everyone saw you get up and put Fanta in your, really, in your cup. I didn't do that, bro. Everyone saw, bro. That guy looks pissed. Let's catch him. 3, 2, 1. Get him. Get him. Do you think he'll do a better job than you? No chance. Look at him swaggering in, I respect it. That guy right there, poured Fanta and sat back down. Oh no. Actually I didn't. Where's the drink, pal? It's over there. Is that guy that actually put it on my table, bro? Nah. Turn around for me. Turn around. Mack might catch a fist. Give me those hands. I don't want to do this, all right? You're making me do it. Come on, get out of here, buddy. Oh my gosh. I'm just messing with you, bro. You're good, bro. Sorry about that, bro. We're just messing around. I'm not gonna lie, I went in there pretty confident. That guy looked pissed. Yeah, I started getting really scared. Clearly I was your role model. No. Since you guys can't agree who's the better cop, maybe you guys both put on cop uniforms and see what happens. We could do that. All right, I like that. Oh, here we go. Couple of thieves on our hands, huh? Steal some soda, steal some soda. Here we go, here we go, let's see what he does. Oh. It's water, water, water. Good job. Oh! All right, let's get it. Get him. What's going on over here? Oh my god. What do you think you're doing, son? You're stealing money from these good people. It was just a lemonade. I know! I know! What's wrong with you? All right, we're done. We can't do this bit anymore. It's just gone too far. So after round one, there's officially more liars than there are truthers. But I still have faith in humanity. There are lots of interesting rounds left to come. For round two, we're going to be trying something a little different. So I rented out this entire motel, set up hidden cameras here, here, right here, and right there. One of the biggest concerns that people have when they're traveling is leaving valuables in a hotel room and having a cleaning staff steal it from you. So I've rigged up three rooms with $500 sitting on a desk and we're going to have a cleaning staff come through and we're going to see if they steal the money or not. Who wouldn't steal $500 just laying out there? I would steal that. I'm thinking about taking it while you're not looking. Don't. As you can see all the hidden cameras are set up right here. If they do not steal it, I will leave this van and give them all the money. Oh wow. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Okay that's nice. That's actually really nice of you. That's super cool. Oh here we go, here we go. It's happening. She's so sweet looking, look at her. Bro, she's literally not even looking at the money. The test will be when she goes to the table to like move those drinks. Her hand will be like right next to it. Oh bed sheet. She's so close to it and she's not even looking at it. She's grinding up on that money right now. Oh! Oh, she grabbed the cups. She left the money. I'm so glad. Oh. Oh, she just, we're blind. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Did she just do that on purpose? She might have. Oh. I can't tell if she's taking the money or not. Dude, I do not know if she took the money or not. Okay, I'm going to go run inside. All the money's gone. Did you take anything? The money's gone. You're kidding. I told you. We have two more. The last one's going to be fun. All right, so this time I hid $30,000 in the bed. That's such a big jump from 500. Hold on, this is fake money. It's real. The video has to be realistic. What is this going to do to your business if they steal that? Oh, they're coming. Oh. Oh, here we go, here we go, here we go. Oh, they can feel it. They can feel it. Look at her face. Oh man, that's really bad. I don't have a good feeling about this. Oh, here we go. Oh no, no, no. Dude, the money's gone. This is two times that they've closed the door and then take the money. It could still be in the room. I can go check it. Nothing in the drawer. Oh! They left the money. Wow. I'm going to go tip them. I have to hurry. Hey, I just want to say thank you for leaving our money in there and I just want to tip you. You guys are awesome. Have a good one. Faith in humanity. Faith in humanity. We love you. I love those guys. All right boys, I have so much faith in humanity at this point. I'm going to cover every surface of this hotel room with dollar bills. Nobody will take one of these. All right, let's see what happens here, boys. Oh, she's coming. Oh, I'm not touching that. She just walked back out. The lady really just dipped. Well now the room's dirty. Yeah, who's going to clean the room? That is so funny. All right, next bit. So far, the majority of people we've tested are liars. But it isn't over yet. Next, in the middle of the shoot day, we decided to spontaneously test our own producer Blake for honesty. So in the middle of our lunch break, Mack and I would stage a fake argument. And when Mack angrily spitting in my food behind my back in front of Blake, the only question is would Blake tell me this happened before I ate the food? Um when do you want to look over the videos later? 20 minutes or something? Okay. I have uh I have to leave at 5:30. For what? It's just a game at uh SoFi. But I'm going to take Hope to that. We're going to leave at like 5:30. So anytime before that should work. Okay, so why is Hope going to that? Because I don't spend any time with her. First of all it makes no sense that I'm not going to that. We're just bringing your girlfriend randomly because you're not spending enough time with her. You want to go to the game? Why would I not go to the game? I started this thing with you, right? You and I spend infinity time together all day long. No we don't. Yes we do. We're doing we're together all day every day making videos. Bro, I'm constantly editing. We do not spend time together. Okay. All right, well I don't know what to tell you. Bro, cancel it. Who cares? How about you just go uh do that and just cool down and I'll be back. God. Is everything all right? Dude just pissed me off so much. What happened? I don't want to talk about it, bro. Which one of these is his? The pizzafied one obviously, bro. Steak time! You want it? Yeah, I got you. Oh yeah, baby. I got you a little smiley face. Pizzafied steak. We having a utensil? You use this. Blake, this looks phenomenal, man. Eric, I've only had steak like once in my entire life. Are you actually serious? Yeah. You have only had why? I'm a really picky eater. I've never had a lot of things. Really? What about sushi? Never. That's fun. I've never had sushi. I've never had any kind of fish, really. I'm going to bring this inside. Thank you, Blake. Blake, did anything weird happen to the steak? Anything weird happened to this? This is a bit. This is a bit. Y'all all suck. This sucks. No, no, no, no, no. I love you. It was a joke. It's just a joke. There's a cameraman up there. Oh, man. Mom and dad were fighting. I didn't know what to do. I have two questions for you. Number one, any other food that you've let me eat that somebody spit in? No. Question number two, would you cheat on a test? We actually don't even need Blake's answer to that question because in the next round we're going to find that answer for ourselves. Okay, so for this next one, I've hired a fake teacher with a fake exam that he's going to give to real people. Beans, Tyler, and Mack are all in the room and I'm going to have the teacher accidentally leave a cheat sheet and we're going to find out exactly how many of these people are willing to cheat on a test. I'm going to be honest, I cheated on many tests. Still ended up with a 2.6 GPA, so By the way, my surveillance system here has gotten completely out of hand. I literally feel like I'm a spy. Here we go. Thank you for being here. We are gathering research for the Los Angeles Unified School District. If you get 50% correct, they're going to give you guys $1,000. Is this taped? How does she know? Is this taped? That happened to my girlfriend. She went to a focus group and it was a prank. I think the $1,000 was put out there to see who would compromise their ethics. This whole squad knows this is a show somehow. I think I'm just going to send you back up there and just send them on their way like nothing's wrong at all. Thank you. Yes, thank you, thank you. Bro, they're so confused that it's not a prank. Got 'em. They thought they were going to get me. I'm going to get them, bro. After dropping a mental nuclear bomb on the brains of the first round testers, I had the room reset with a group of completely new testers to try again. I'll be surprised if anybody gets one answer correct. It is made to be impossible. So if there's anyone who's on the verge of cheating, it might push them over. All right, the teacher's walking out of the room. Everyone is left by themselves now. Let's see what they do. There's literally an answer key in my test. Who will take this answer key? I'm bro, I am nervous. This is the answer key? He took it. His test has an answer key on it. Oh, here we go. Cheater! Cheater! They are passing around an answer key. Do you guys want this? He's not taking it. He's not taking it. Do you want it? Pass it over. Oh, he's got it. He's got it. He's got it. We got another guy cheating. This makes me so sad. All right, the teacher is going to give them a chance right now to admit if they cheated. Did you see a paper lying around? Did anybody see a sheet around? Might have had the answers on it. Did anybody admit? No one even admitted. All right, I'm going to go confront these guys. How's it going, guys? My name's Eric. This is not a real test and you're on a hidden camera TV show. These guys are actually my friends. The good news that I have is that we have a room full of very honest people. There were a couple of loose cannons in here though. Is there anybody that wants to fess up? Oh my god. I'm sorry. After four rounds of testing humanity for honesty, we had resulted in a perfect tie. What are the odds of this? I don't know what the odds are of that happening. It's bad. I don't know how we ended up here. So it's all going to come down to this final round. Who will take the cake? The liars or the truthers? For our last stop, this restaurant right here. You guys may be wondering where Tyler is. Yeah, where is he? Tyler's busy driving over here with his girlfriend because Tyler and his girlfriend are going to sit at this table where we have secret cameras filming from every direction. So Sam is Tyler's girlfriend. She's one of the sweetest people I know except for this one thing that she does. I think I know where you're going with this. Sam loves stealing plates and silverware and things from restaurants. Tyler actually has been kind enough to supply us with videos over the past few weeks of Sam actively stealing things. You stole this? Yeah. It was an interesting steal. What? What else did you steal? This. And I stole the earrings. Do you want that plate? I want it to come home to my collection. You want to steal that plate? Yes. Anyway, you guys see what we're dealing with. So to help my friend Sam kick this nasty habit, I decided to rent out an entire real restaurant with real people and expose her in 4K right here in front of everybody. There are better ways to do this, man. Like what? One-on-one confrontation, maybe like a group therapy. No. So they just pulled up. I think they're going to be sitting down any second. Oh, there they are. Oh my gosh, I'm so excited. First, she already looks like she's about to steal something. And after only having sat down for literally 5 minutes. These are so nice. Yeah, they're cool. What's that face mean? Take 'em. Look at her face. She's so, she's so excited to steal stuff. What's the most you've ever taken from one place? Probably like $400 in groceries. Oh my gosh. This is actually a problem. Do you do it just because like to save money? I feel like it's like kind of a thrill. It's a thrill? Yeah, like that stuff like excites me. I don't know if there has ever been a human caught more in 4K than she is about to be caught. So walk me through your tactic here. Okay, here we go, here we go, here we go. There is no tactic. Oh no. Oh, she put it inside. She put it inside. This is what I'm saying. It was so fast. She's smiling about it. I'm going to use the bathroom really quick. Okay, Tyler's going to come out the back and talk to us real quick. Come on in here. I'm so nervous. Okay, so how's it going in there? It's not looking good. We've only been there for about a minute and she's stolen a fork already. You told me earlier that she has a specific outfit that she likes to steal in. Oh, absolutely. She always steals everything in overalls. It's like this big kangaroo pouch you can just shovel stuff into. Do you have anything to say to Sam? Sam, I love you so much but this has gotten out of hand. I also have this microphone and you have an earpiece in so we can control Tyler throughout this entire conversation and hear everything. All right, get in there champ. Have a fun time. I wish me luck. Good luck, boy. Okay, this what we just brought out are the perfect stealing plates. Thank you so very much. They are so small and perfect. She's into it. You should try to challenge her to see how much she can steal at this dinner. How many things do you think you could take? I could take the forks and the plates. The plates? Oh, she's putting it in. She's putting it in. Sam. All right, so this waiter that's about to walk up is about to confront her right now. Here we go. Thank you so very much. Here we go, here we go, here we go. Did you guys happen to take any silverware or plates by any chance? Oh no-no-no we didn't. Watching these guys eat reminds me that we are throwing the world's largest pizza party at the end of the year. We've been talking about that for so long. Now it's actually happening. Yeah because you guys got us to like 9 million something subscribers. So to thank you guys for that, in January, we're going to actually make the world's largest pizza. And not only is it the world's largest pizza, it's a Pizza Hut pizza, my favorite pizza brand. In addition, from now all the way until the pizza party, we're throwing micro pizza parties in four different cities. Here's the cities. I don't know why I'm holding this microphone. I'm just saying all this into Tyler's ear right now. I'm trying to get an idea of how many slices we should prepare for you guys. So if you're interested in coming to any of the pizza parties, please make sure to click the link in the top of my description box to fill out your information so that I know how many slices of pizza to prepare for you guys. There are limited slots in each city so if you do this now, you'll be the very first person to find out the exact time, date, and location of all these parties. Anyway, I love you guys very much. We're going to get back to the date here. I do like have you on camera. Oh my gosh. I 100% took a fork. You took a fork? Only admits to stealing fork. How did she grab that much silverware? He's asking you to, you have to come to the back with me to speak to the manager, yeah. Are you serious? Okay. I'll talk to the manager. She's coming, she's coming, she's coming. We got you. This place sucks. Hey. So unfortunately after an entire day of testing humanity for honesty, we ended with the final tiebreaker, a lie from Sam who only gave up one of her stolen items. But guess what? I'm not stopping here. I still have faith in humanity and I'm optimistic that the next time we do this video, people will be more honest. So get this video to like 11 likes if you want to see a sequel. I don't care. I'm just going to make it anyway. So...
