I Stayed on a Secret Billionaire IslandBrand's YouTubeEDITED VIDEO15m of 22m readHORIZONTAL82HIGH
In the first 15 minutes, Nico Grigg, host of the vlog, spends four months on a wait list and pays $4,000 for the island's cheapest room, then checks into a resort where staff ban phones and photos, so he keeps his camera low key. David teaches him to drive a boat and he takes it out on the water, and he later calls room service asking for Monster Energy drinks, which staff say they cannot get.

He reads one-star reviews from guests who poured their own wine and got scolded for using a phone, and says one reviewer wrote she was treated like a criminal for simply using her phone. He sneaks into the mysterious great room and finds it is just a bathroom.
Covers the first 15 of 22 minutes.

In the first 15 minutes, Nico Grigg, host of the vlog, drives to David Oman's house in LA with Jaden and John to try to stay the whole night in the place investigators call the most haunted house in America, with 30 cameras recording there every day. Neighbors come out unhappy that the group parked the Sprinter on their street, and Oman tells them they have no choice but to stay the night.

The doors lock and a dead bell rings by itself while Oman struggles to unlock them, and he explains the bell is an EMF meter wired to ring twice for yes and once for no. Oman shows the balcony and says his dog fell 60 feet, broke a branch and was found three hours later unhurt, and a flashlight switches on by itself.
