00:00We're here to rescue the aliens!
00:03What if every fool on the internet...
00:05There'll be two million people here.
00:07Really?
00:09...converged on Area 51?
00:12What would they do?
00:13Shoot everyone?
00:14That's why I got a Nightfish fan.
00:17I had no idea what I'd started.
00:21It's a Facebook event that started as a joke,
00:23but now apparently becoming very real.
00:27We are going to dress as sexy aliens.
00:29We are going out to the desert,
00:31and we're getting probed.
00:33Where do you host a million people
00:36in the middle of nowhere?
00:37We have a restaurant, camping space,
00:40and ten rooms.
00:41That's it.
00:41We were building a city from nothing.
00:44And this whole time,
00:45I'm sitting here with less than $1,000
00:47in my bank account.
00:49It gone out of hand,
00:50and it gone out of hand in a hurry.
00:55We're about to store it
00:56in one of the most heavily guarded
00:57military bases in the world.
00:59It just seemed like a hilarious idea to me.
01:01Why?
01:03Because the Internet told us to.
01:05I was standing.
01:07Oh, okay.
01:08Well, I can pass.
01:11We have to go.
01:11Hey, let's go.
01:12You're welcome.
01:17Hey, let's go.
01:20Hey, let's go.
01:22Let's go.
01:23Hey, let's go.
01:24Mm, come on.
01:25Hey, let's go.
01:26Hey, let's go.
