[01]

Overview

The creator launches a 'trade-up' series, starting with a single energy drink and aiming to eventually acquire a Red Bull Mini Cooper. He documents his drive to meet a stranger, successfully trading the drink for a Mewtwo GX Pokemon card in a parking lot. After evaluating the card's $60 average value online, he teases the next trade by revealing an email from a gym member interested in the card, setting up the narrative for episode two.

    Trading an Energy Drink for a Car

Transcript

This is day one of trading the best energy drink to a Red Bull Mini Cooper and modifying it. We're on our way to the first trade of the series right now. And that is with a guy one hour away for a Pokemon card. Now I know nothing about these cards, but he emailed, and these things could be pretty valuable. So we just got you. We're waiting to see where the guy is. Hey. I saw that. Such a pleasure. Thank you. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm very much. Fair trade. Fair trade. Fair trade. Rank you. Thank you. Okay. First successful trade, and I got this really cool Pokemon card. What Pokemon is this? Mewtwo? Mewtwo GX, and it's like this holographic card. So we're seeing the same card here for, like, on average tier, but we have a graded one for 310. We went from a rise energy drink to a $60 Pokemon card. But I just got an email from a guy at my local gym that wants to to trade this card for something else. No you'll see that tomorrow. Oh. Pretty good condition. Damn.
