1
This shipping container is worth more than half a million dollars.
2
Oh my god.
3
And this one was completely flooded with water.
4
And today, we're discovering and opening shipping containers that we found on Google Maps.
5
But first, we need to find one.
6
Okay, so it looks like it's right off the coast.
7
Okay, then we just go to the coordinates.
8
All right, let's go.
9
So we hopped on a plane and made our way over to the shipping container's last known location.
10
That's if it's here.
11
Like, we might have flew here for nothing.
12
Don't say that!
13
Come on!
14
Every year, thousands of shipping containers fall off boats and go missing.
15
And this beach has two of them.
16
But after searching the entire coast...
17
I do not see any shipping container!
18
Yeah, there's nothing here, Brent.
19
We decided to rent a boat and continue the search in the water.
20
Right now, we are on the river and we're searching for these containers.
21
Hopefully, we find either some clues or the container.
22
I thought that was an alligator.
23
Dude, that is an alligator!
24
But alligators aren't the only thing we have to worry about.
25
There are police patrol boats everywhere.
26
And since this area is abandoned, it's illegal to be here.
27
So we got to be careful.
28
Well, I think the alligators are scarier than the police.
29
What?
30
And after finding a few things that we thought were shipping containers.
31
Wait, is that just like a giant tree branch or something?
32
What?
33
We were almost ready to give up.
34
But then we found this.
35
What is it all say?
36
Hold up.
37
Do you think that this was on the crate?
38
Does that say Firefly Shipping?
39
Bro, that's the double F.
40
That's the crate.
41
That's the name of the container we're looking for.
42
And if the river's flowing this way, then the container's probably this way.
43
Okay, then we just keep going that way.
44
Follow the waves.
45
And now that we know we're in the right area, we got back to searching and finally found it.
46
That might be the crate, Brent.
47
Wait, what?
48
Look at that.
49
That is the exact crate that we saw on Google Maps.
50
Oh my God.
51
Only thing is, how did it get way up there?
52
Yeah, in the Google Maps photo, it was on the beach.
53
This part of the shipping dock is completely abandoned
54
and for some reason one container ended up on this broken down barge boat and the other fell off into the ocean.
55
Oh my god.
56
Bro I'm literally touching it right now.
57
Bro this is so sick.
58
Finding the container was the easy part and now it's time to figure out how to get it back on land.
59
So we jumped into the water to get a closer look.
60
Um, Brent, why is there a danger sign right here?
61
Uh, I have no idea.
62
I feel like I shouldn't be in the water with this thing.
63
And since this water is extremely dangerous, we tied some ropes onto the shipping container
64
and started towing it towards the crane that we rented because we need to lift it out of the water.
65
Oh my god, there is so much water in that container.
66
But since the crane was making so much noise, it caught the local coast guard's attention in.
67
Who's that?
68
Wait, who's that?
69
Boy, bro.
70
I think that's police.
71
There's no fucking noise.
72
He's looking at us.
73
He's looking at us.
74
He's looking at us.
75
Wait.
76
Oh, he has lights.
77
He has lights.
78
He has lights.
79
He has lights.
80
That's a cop.
81
Is that a police?
82
That's for sure a cop.
83
He just turned his lights on.
84
Are we sure?
85
Okay, are we sure it's us?
86
Yeah, he's coming this way.
87
Okay, well, we didn't do anything.
88
I'm just standing here.
89
What?
90
What are you doing up there?
91
He said, what are you doing up there?
92
We just saw these containers over there
93
and we thought they were abandoned i don't care about the containers it's a barge come down here
94
so i can talk to you oh it's it bro we gotta go
95
so we got off the barge
96
and started talking to the officer the barge is a piece of equipment it's someone's property
97
but after a few minutes of explaining our situation he gave us the boat company's address
98
so we drove there and met the owner have you all opened the containers at all yet no
99
We haven't opened it yet.
100
I think you said Firefly.
101
It's Firefly?
102
It's Firefly.
103
Those guys, they ship a lot of stuff.
104
Anything that can be shipped, they ship it.
105
Anywhere from bowl noodles to teddy bears to grenades, I don't know.
106
Grenades?
107
They're like actually live explosives inside the container?
108
They could have, yeah.
109
Well, now that we know that pretty much anything can be inside these shipping containers, it's time to ask him how much it would cost us.
110
To use our bars for landing, you're probably looking at somewhere around 25 grand.
111
25 grand?
112
$25 ,000 is a lot of money.
113
And these shipping containers could be completely empty.
114
But after discussing our options...
115
Should we do it?
116
Yeah.
117
Okay.
118
I think it's worth it.
119
Worth the risk.
120
We accepted his offer.
121
Okay, you know what?
122
We'll do it.
123
All right.
124
Woo!
125
Now we have exactly four hours of daylight left to open and search both shipping containers.
126
Otherwise, we'll have to pay another $25 ,000 to rent this barge again tomorrow.
127
Hold on, Brent.
128
I don't think we should open this.
129
What?
130
What do you mean?
131
Glamable objects, danger, toxic hazard.
132
Live animals.
133
What?
134
Live animals?
135
Why is there a picture of a lion?
136
Well, the guy said that this is a crazy company.
137
Like, there could be anything in here.
138
I'm actually kind of terrified.
139
This is it.
140
Like, once we cut.. this there's no going back moment of truth we get it in three two one oh
141
holy this is the shipping manifest oh my god it says everything that's inside this container we use the value
142
Brent we look at the value Let's go!
143
This shipping container might have been worth $112 ,000, but that was before it fell off a boat and flooded with water.
144
Okay, true.
145
If something's damaged, it's definitely a knockoff to value.
146
We got to go through every single thing in this crate, and we also got to try it.
147
Okay.
148
But before we test to see if any of these products still work, we started opening some boxes.
149
I'm not going to lie, guys.
150
There's a lot of stuff in this crate.
151
I don't really care about the shirts.
152
All right.
153
Some of these packages are massive.
154
But a lot of the small ones just got added to our donation pile.
155
Oh!
156
Wait, wait.
157
Wait, what the?
158
Bro, why did that scare me?
159
Okay, no, this is like a Halloween decoration or something.
160
Bro, what?
161
That mummy was definitely fake.
162
But what we found next was 100 % real.
163
It says...
164
What was that?
165
Wait, you heard that?
166
That was like in the back.
167
There's been growling?
168
Bro, it did say live animals on the front of it.
169
Guys, let's just not talk about it.
170
It almost was actually going to freak me out.
171
Okay, well, literally one of these boxes is going to have something in it.
172
And we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into.
173
But for now, let's get back to opening.
174
Wait, dude, dude, this is electronics.
175
Okay, wait, this could be something really expensive.
176
Okay, open it.
177
Open it.
178
Oh!
179
Shut up.
180
Holy s*.
181
Dude, this is full of Nintendo Switch.
182
What?
183
I got to make sure it's not like waterlogged.
184
Freaking brand new.
185
You know what?
186
This is way too many
187
Nintendo Switches for us, so I say we give it to the subscribers.
188
Yeah, I agree.
189
Guys, subscribe if you want to switch.
190
Subscribe.
191
We're only a few boxes in, and we've already made half of our money back.
192
But since we still have so many more packages, it just keeps going.
193
We have to be fast because there's only three hours left.
194
I'm scared to look in.
195
Go look.
196
Wait.
197
What?
198
Boom.
199
There's a f*ing alligator in there.
200
Shut up.
201
I swear.
202
Wait, what?
203
Oh, my God, Brent.
204
That's real.
205
Wait, that's kind of sad.
206
How long has he been here?
207
Oh, I feel bad for him.
208
We should free him.
209
Dude, what are you doing?
210
He looks nice.
211
He does.
212
Bro, don't open the cane.
213
Oh, s*.
214
Oh, my God. That scared me.
215
Oh, my God.
216
His mouth is taint.
217
Dude, that probably means he hasn't eaten in, like, months.
218
And since we clearly don't know how to take care of an alligator,
219
we called a local reptile expert to release it back into its natural habitat hat.
220
If there was a real alligator in this container, what else could be hiding inside?
221
Next thing you know, we're going to find a freaking bomb.
222
I don't know.
223
It better not be a lion.
224
One by one, we made our way through the boxes and now we're about halfway done with this first shipping container.
225
Oh my God, Brent.
226
These are drones.
227
Wait, they're all drones?
228
How much do you think these are?
229
I mean, at least like $500 each drone.
230
But just as things were starting to look good a storm rolled in
231
and destroyed everything all of our stuff is getting wet
232
that we put out there whoa oh my god
233
it is literally pouring outside oh what press the drones just got soaked shut up
234
while everything was getting ruined outside the shipping container we started finding boxes
235
that were already ruined inside the shipping container bro
236
this one's soaking wet oh my god that's what sucks about these containers is
237
that some of this stuff probably doesn't work anymore.
238
Yo!
239
Brent look at this one.
240
This one's like soggy.
241
Oh my god.
242
Wait what?
243
Wait these are sick.
244
It's the overwater trampoline.
245
Oh my god I'm not gonna lie this might be the best thing we've found so far.
246
We just need to blow it up.
247
It's at least gonna be the most fun.
248
Let's take this to the beach around the corner and test it out.
249
Alright.
250
Let's go.
251
See it's way bigger than I thought.
252
This is sick.
253
Cannonball!
254
I say we go explore the rest of the stuff in there.
255
I think so, too.
256
After that, we got back to opening packages.
257
But after a few more useless items...
258
Okay, we're finding a bunch of bullshit now.
259
I don't want this!
260
We found the most expensive box so far.
261
You got it?
262
Oh, my God.
263
Wait, dude, this is electronics, too.
264
Honestly, bro, I need a new phone.
265
I'm hoping this is, like, an iPhone.
266
Oh!
267
Wait, what?
268
Not an iPhone, but it's an AirPod.
269
Wait, what?
270
Oh, my God, the box is filled.
271
Look, there's all underneath here.
272
These are worth like $500 each.
273
This is literally No way.
274
Brand new.
275
What?
276
Oh my God, Brent.
277
These are brand new.
278
So far, we've found working
279
Nintendo Switches, drones, and these AirPod Maxes, but we weren't so lucky with our next few items.
280
What is it?
281
Oh, s*.
282
Hey, it's a freaking go -kart.
283
Bro.
284
What?
285
How are we supposed to get this out?
286
Oh my God.
287
Bro.
288
Okay, well, let's see if this go -kart actually works.
289
It should work.
290
Bro, this was at the bottom, too.
291
Like, is it water damage?
292
Maybe.
293
Well, there goes a couple thousand dollars.
294
But the next package we opened was a couple thousand more dollars.
295
Wait, do you see that?
296
Is that like money?
297
Bam.
298
Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa.
299
Oh, my God.
300
Shut up.
301
I don't get it.
302
Is that real?
303
No, no. There's no way this is real.
304
Wait, how did we know?
305
It says in motion pictures we tried.
306
So this is just prop money.
307
Yeah.
308
Damn it.
309
Bro, I thought we came up on like a million dollars.
310
Me too.
311
And that wasn't even the only movie prop we found.
312
Oh my god, it's a safe.
313
Wait, what?
314
Wait, look at the keys are there too.
315
Bro.
316

321
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
322
What is that?
323
What?
324
Whoa.
325
Is that a bomb?
326
What the fuck is that?
327
It's a time bomb.
328
A time bomb?
329
No, it's not.
330
What the fuck is that, actually?
331
Bro, that looks like a clock right there.
332
Yeah, but it's not on, bro.
333
Oh, yeah, oh, this is fake is it big?
334
Yeah, look it's got freaking little batteries plugged into it at first
335
This was really concerning though Let's just get out of here
336
Alright Brent look another electronics box.
337
I didn't know how many electronics we're gonna be in this container
338
No, this is where we make our money back.
339
All right ready.
340
What do we got?
341
What do we got?
342
Oh my god?
343
Is it not water damaged no I mean look the seals there and everything brand new iPad.

361
Again, we have too many.
362
Alright guys, if you want a new iPad, like the video and comment down below done.
363
We're gonna send these to subscribers.
364
We're gonna be checking.
365
We're giving away pretty much everything we find in these shipping containers
366
so make sure you keep watching because the packages only get crazier
367
and crazier look at this and we got more electronics oh
368
wait is
369
that a ps5 no
370
it's way too big of a box wait sub blue nav

374
Oh!
375
Oh!
376
Wait, he's mobbing, actually.
377
This underwater scooter was cool, but it's not even the coolest vehicle in these shipping containers.
378
And since we're running out of time, we got back to searching and testing these products.
379
Oh, my God.
380
This might be the greatest thing we've ever done to him.
381
We have so much left to go through in the container, so we...
382
Ow!
383
We have so much stuff still left in the container, So we have to go back.
384
Let's go Alright, come on drew
385
What is that?
386
That's a military crate
387
if I've ever seen one wait why like this is like what like military men will put their stuff in
388
or Maybe it's another movie prop.
389
Oh, you're right.
390
You're right.
391
It might just be props.
392
It could be Oh The hell is that those are RPGs.
393
Oh, what the fuck?
394
There's gas masks.
395
Wait the gas
396
Close this though.
397
Bro, if we like, we can't have this.
398
We'd get like straight up arrested for even touching that.
399
Let's give it to the guy that we talked to and just have him deal with it.
400
Okay.
401
It's honestly sketchy to even bring this out of here.
402
Be really careful with it.
403
Well, now that we got the most dangerous item out of here,
404
we opened up a few more dangerous boxes before finally finishing the first shipping container.
405
Hold on.
406
Is that all of it?
407
Oh, yeah.
408
That was the last box.
409
Well, let's hope this second crate is not just empty.
410
All right.
411
You guys ready?
412
Yeah.
413
Alright, let's go.
414
I'm so excited.
415
Okay, so this one says flammable objects.
416
Well, you know, if it's anything like the other one, hopefully it's just movie props.
417
I am so scared to see what we're about to find.
418
Ooh!
419
Alright, here we go, guys.
420
Three, two, one.
421
Well, it's not empty.
422
What is that, though?
423
I don't know what this is, but it looks like it could be a car.
424
Okay, wait, wait.
425
Before we do that, we should open the boxes right here first.
426
Dude, I'm feeling like a hood.
427
Bro, stop!
428
Don't jinx it.
429
I think we got lucky.
430
Do not jinx it.
431
Now that we're on the second shipping container, here's our plan.
432
We only have half an hour left to open the rest of these boxes.
433
Otherwise, it'll cost another $25 ,000 to rent the boat again tomorrow.
434
So let's hurry.
435
Oh, Sabrina Carpenter.
436
I like Sabrina Carpenter.
437
Alright, let's see.
438
What are these?
439
Oh.
440
It's freaking bubbles.
441
Huh?
442
Can you stop blowing it?
443
Ow!
444
It's in my f*ing eye.
445
Alright, let's keep opening the boxes so we can find out what this big thing is.
446
Here.
447
Guys, this one has live animals.
448
Wait, what?
449
Why is there so many live animals?
450
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
451
I'm scared.
452
Live animals?
453
Bro, just open the thing.
454
Bro.
455
Bro.
456
We're wasting our time.
457
Oh my.
458
Yeah.
459
It's just a bunch of rubber duckies.
460
This is the thing about these crate videos that you really never know what you're gonna find.
461
It's either something really expensive or something just so random.
462
Okay, wait, this is a big one.
463
This is a big one.
464
Bro, this one says fragile too.
465
Oh, shit, be careful.
466
Okay, what's in here?
467
What is this?
468
Oh, my God, Brent.
469
Holy shit, it's a crossbow.
470
Wait, what?
471
Wait, it says tactical lightweight hunting crossbow.
472
What?
473
Wait, we can like full on hunt with this.
474
What?
475
Okay, dude, that thing is dangerous.
476
Yeah, I don't feel like I trust myself holding this.
477
I trust myself.
478
I look you want to shoot it off.
479
But before we try shooting the crossbow, it's time for the biggest and most expensive item in these shipping containers.
480
Okay, three, two, one.
481
Oh, my God.
482
It's a freaking car.
483
Wait, what?
484
What is this?
485
No, dude, it doesn't have any wheels.
486
Look.
487
What?
488
What is this?
489
Wait, so it's like a boat car?
490
Oh, my God.
491
It's a freaking boat that looks like a car.
492
Wait, what?
493
What is this?
494
This is the front of a boat.
495
Is that not?
496
It is.
497
Wait, hold on.
498
Yeah, because lookit, there's no wheels.
499
Bro, but it's a freaking Mercedes.
500
Wait, what?
501

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
