シャドーイング練習: Ordering a Live Fish Return Pallet... What's Inside? - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ

We just bought a truckload of live fish return mystery pallets for $563.

We've got five massive boxes full of who knows what, and we're going to find out if we're going to make our money back

or if this is going to be a big flop.

They say there's a chance of some live fish in these boxes, so we'll be unloading and unboxing very carefully one box at a time.

These fish could have been traveling for a long time, and we have no idea what kind of condition they're going to be in when we open it up, so we've got to be careful.

Oh my God, this thing is so freaking heavy.

Just picked up our pallet from the airport loading dock.

They told us to bring a big ass truck

So we were thinking you know what might as well not bring our truck They said make sure it's enclosed

because of the weather so while the boys rented the u-haul again you haulers are here How's it going?

Packages in the back.

Keep her coming Jay Here we go

Let's go We definitely could have used the truck

but nothing better than an enclosed u-haul just in case it rains There's a lot here.

I don't know how heavy this is going to be.

Obviously, it was on a pallet, so they forklifted it on.

We're going to see if we can actually get it off.

Looks like there's about five boxes.

There's really some live fish inside, though.

You guys can see right here, live fish inside, so that's a good feeling.

It says handle with care in the back, live fish on the back here as well.

That is a good sign.

Let's see if we can save some fish.

I just pray they're alive, bro.

You never know.

So here's how we ended up with a truckload of fish mystery boxes just like this.

Turns out when people order live fish and aquarium gear, there are a lot of returns.

Some people change their minds, others can't take care of the fish, and sometimes the boxes just get lost or damaged in transit.

Instead of throwing everything away, this online fish retailer has a unique way of clearing it all out.

They auction off all the returns in these giant pallets.

Now I know what you're thinking and what I'm thinking.

How the heck are there going to be live fish in these return boxes?

Why would anyone put live fish back in a box and send them back?

Well, that's exactly what we're about to find out.

These pallets can be filled with some perfectly healthy fish, or we might be in for a shocking, not-so-alive surprise.

Either way, we're taking a gamble today.

So we're going to find out if these fish are going to be alive, or are we about to unbox a whole lot of dead weight?

So there's only one way to find out.

Let's get these boxes in the warehouse and start unboxing one at a time.

One, two, three.

Oh my god!

There can't be anything other than water in this.

Okay.

Oh.

All right.

My god.

Okay.

Okay, hang on.

Watch the other one.

I'm dying a little bit.

Here, watch your fingers.

This thing is so damn heavy.

Get on the table.

Careful.

Is it on?

Yeah.

That's a guarantee at least between eight to ten spunters and a blackout.

It's time to open the box.

Right off rip, the top box definitely got neglected.

A little bit of a deformation.

Well, you can see it's protruding up there.

Or it could just be that full.

I don't know.

Then it can't close it.

Or you have to see.

We're going to just start chopping away.

Chopping wood.

Let's go.

I just love an incision there.

At least we know it got here.

Very well protected.

It's actually pretty amazing how durable cellophane is.

I know.

You wrap this thing up, it's not going anywhere.

Okay.

Let's go.

There you go.

We're open.

Let's go.

We have, dude, five boxes.

Five boxes full of who goes what.

And we spent over 500 bucks on this.

Now, the thing about these boxes, they can come with live fish, but they also can come with anything they want to return.

So it can be literally anything.

We can make profit.

Do you think a lot of this stuff is going to be junk?

Like, no, there actually could be like a nice, like aquarium in here.

Nice fluable aquarium.

250 bucks.

One item can we can make half our money.

100%.

It's like Storage Wars, you know?

Yeah, literally.

You buy a storage and rip it open.

You gotta find out what's inside.

Holy crap, there they all are.

Everything looks like a good...

Ooh, we got water right here.

100

Ooh, we got a soft box.

101

We got a soft box.

102

No. Water soft box.

103

Not good, actually.

104

The pallet's actually soaked.

105

That's not good at all.

106

The pallet's actually soaked.

107

Should we do this one first?

108

Yeah, get this one.

109

Get this one.

110

Hurry up.

111

Okay, look at the damage over here, guys, before we unbox this.

112

The whole pallet's wet.

113

Look at this beating.

114

Dude, we gotta get in here.

115

We gotta get in here.

116

We should just start cutting open.

117

Let's get in there.

118

Careful.

119

If there's something in danger, we go with it.

120

Oh my god, it's filled to the rim.

121

It's filled to the rim, bro.

122

Holy crap.

123

Yo, boy!

124

We already got some gas in here.

125

Dude, we are wicked pissing down here.

126

Bro, it kind of smells.

127

Yeah, it does smell kind of bad.

128

I think we forget about everything else in here and just get this bag out.

129

That's why it stinks.

130

Oh no!

131

It's a big hole in the side.

132

Oh, ooh!

133

I just poured it on the filter.

134

Okay, that's where all the water came from.

135

We have a swimming pool in the bottom of this box.

136

Look at this!

137

It's a pond on the floor of the warehouse!

138

It's a wicked, wicked.

139

This is, I would say, about seven goldfish.

140

We gotta pour one out for them.

141

I agree, I agree, I agree.

142

Good, good.

143

Pour one out for the boys.

144

RIP.

145

Honestly, we bought this thing to try to save these fish.

146

These guys didn't make it.

147

What a terrible start.

148

What a terrible start.

149

We gotta see if we got anything else inside of this box here.

150

See if we got survivors.

151

We got another bag of fish.

152

Dude, we got another bag of fish.

153

We got another bag of fish.

154

Another bag of fish?

155

Tell me this is alive.

156

Somebody is alive.

157

Dude!

158

That's a move!

159

Let's go!

160

What?

161

That's a naso?

162

That is a naso tank.

163

How many more?

164

That's a naso tank.

165

This, dude, we might have a whole box full of fish.

166

Like, every box could have a hundred fish in here.

167

That's a freaking naso tank.

168

Look at this thing.

169

Good size.

170

Let me just check if there's any more fish in here.

171

I do see a suspicious bag.

172

Everything in here is ruined.

173

No. I think that's it for fish.

174

That is it for fish.

175

But we do have some good items in here.

176

I thought maybe a fish would be in this.

177

Sand, a giant filter, and another filter.

178

Here's everything we got inside the first box, including this Naso Tang.

179

Let's pour him in to see how good he looks.

180

The Naso Tang right here, he is pretty big.

181

I'd say this thing is about a $200 fish.

182

And he looks honestly really good.

183

His colors are great.

184

He doesn't have too many spots.

185

He doesn't have any spots on them.

186

And he doesn't look very stressed, to be honest with you.

187

He's not breathing that hard.

188

He looks beautiful.

189

His colors look great, and he's a moose.

190

I think he's going to be perfect in one of our saltwater ponds.

191

Now, let me tell you something cool about these fish.

192

They can live up to 30 years and get up to 18 inches long.

193

This guy's probably about six inches long, so three times the size.

194

So he's going to be a great fit for our predator pond right here because he's going to get nice and big.

195

This naso tang is beautiful.

196

If you look super close, looks like the fish has lipstick on.

197

He is really beautiful.

198

Now, the total of all this for box number one, including the fish, is about $345 bucks.

199

So we're already almost to the break even point, man.

200

I'm actually super pumped up with this guy right here.

201

What a surprise to see him coming in looking so insanely healthy.

202

I cannot wait to see how he looks in the pond.

203

I think he's going to be a great addition.

204

Let's get him inside.

205

Guys, this is a $200 fish.

206

That is freaking crazy.

207

Let's go.

208

Speed demon.

209

Let's go, dude.

210

Perfect size fits right in with the crew.

211

Queen Elizabeth, Steve.

212

And now we need a name for this guy.

213

He He looks so insanely good inside of here.

214

I can't wait to see what the rest of the box has inside.

215

Now we have made an extremely good start and that was only box number one.

216

That means if the boxes are like the first one, we're gonna have thousands of dollars of fish in the rest of these boxes.

217

We've already found something super unexpected

218

so we got to get into box number two this one's

219

a bigger in this one this one is was the one

220

we were worried off right off rip let's get the deformed one out of the way early

221

because this one's a smashed this is a smash it's a

222

smashed burger yeah holy cow what let's go we're gonna make our money back in more dude yeah

223

but this one looks like it caught on fire look at this This thing, Fluoable FX6, that's retail for $350.

224

Let's go.

225

But that's, yeah, no, this is quite unusable.

226

Rusted screws.

227

Quite rusty.

228

I think you know what to do with it.

229

We got that out of the way early.

230

Just smashed something early.

231

Interesting smell.

232

The amount of fish that just came out of that box.

233

Interesting smell coming from that.

234

That was definitely, had some water in it too.

235

Now because the first box had some dead fish inside, We quickly unboxed it to find some survivors.

236

Okay, hold on, we got something here.

237

We got something here with water.

238

These are crabs.

239

Crabs.

240

Somebody returned emerald crabs.

241

I love these guys.

242

Dude, I know, I was just thinking the same thing.

243

We gotta feed one of these to the grouper.

244

Now let's see if Bluey, our grouper, wants to eat one of these guys.

245

Oh my God, he looks really interested.

246

He is super fired up.

247

Oh, Brooke.

248

Oh, we missed it.

249

The sailman tank.

250

And we threw one crab in and Bluey seemed interested at first, but he decided to turn away and let the crab live another day.

251

So the crab scurried to the rocks to find a hiding place.

252

And because they're not gonna be eaten, we get to throw all these guys in the pond to now have some crabs.

253

Box number two was kind of a flop.

254

We got a broken filter and all this miscellaneous stuff.

255

I'd say it adds up to about 20 bucks.

256

We're two boxes down with a total of $365.

257

We have three more boxes to go.

258

Let's see if we can break even.

259

This one's heavy.

260

I love me a heavy box.

261

I think we should try to do these a lot faster

262

if there's any fish in here they could almost be dead

263

and based off the last two boxes it looks like every

264

single box is gonna have some live fish let's go let's

265

go keep it moving keep it moving ooh long extension cord

266

where's this going this is always fun big pump wow wow

267

what's with the used products bro ew we're looking for the

268

fish here nothing in this brother some nice sand come on

269

what else we got in here oh is he alive he's

270

alive let's go this little guy was not on our radar

271

and we don't exactly have a place set up for him

272

so we headed to our local pet supermarket of course in the u-haul

273

because this is gonna be a big tank to grab a

274

home for him only real men by betas in uh u-hauls

275

my beta tanks in u-hauls i think this is a good

276

size for him might be a little too small we also got gravel

277

and plants to make sure he feels comfortable got the best

278

tank at the store had to bring the u-haul for there she is

279

and we hurried back to the warehouse and set up his tank

280

that way we can get right back in the unboxing to

281

find some more survivors be sure to drop your best name

282

ideas down in the comments for this little dude box number

283

three had 65 dollars worth of stuff in it including this little beta right here

284

that brings our total to 430 dollars let's see

285

if box number four is going to throw us a curveball

286

box four coming right up we do have a couple hundred more dollars to go though

287

so let's hope we can at least make our money back god there's a lot of people we gotta see

288

if there's any more survivors in here be careful with it no that's There's nothing.

289

There's so many pebbles!

290

What is this?

291

Sand!

292

That's a good five bucks.

293

You know what to do.

294

Leave it to you.

295

Careful!

296

Careful!

297

There's only one way to do it. And fish!

298

Yes, careful!

299

I mean, just a ridiculous amount of pea pebbles in that box.

300

That is seriously absurd.

301

We got an aquarium, though!

302

We got an aquarium.

303

Oh, there it is.

304

There it is.

305

There it is.

306

313

Number four survivor.

314

That right there is a chocolate chip star with all the pee pebbles in the entire country have been inside this box.

315

Oh my god.

316

This is going to be a nightmare to create.

317

Dude, that's fire.

318

Box number four has about $80 worth of stuff in it.

319

This pallet has been awesome so far.

320

If you guys want us to order another one, let's get 10,000 likes on this video and we'll go ahead and order another pallet.

321

That brings our total up to $510.

322

We're almost at that break even point.

323

Let's get this chocolate chip star into the pond.

324

Chocolate chip star is a great starfish for the pond.

325

They move around like crazy.

326

And as you can see in the back, he's got tentacles popping in and out.

327

So this guy is very active.

328

Let's see if Buddy wants to hang out right along the glass.

329

His tentacles are already out.

330

Let's give him a chance to find his footing, get along that glass.

331

Oh, there we go.

332

Already right along the side of the window here.

333

The pond is looking great.

334

335

336

339

Well, we've made it to our final box.

340

Let's see if box number five is going to push us over the edge and we can make it all worth it.

341

We have made quite the mess in the warehouse today.

342

352

Never judge a box by its cover or weight.

353

What the heck is this in this one?

354

This one's literally empty.

355

How much more money do we have to go?

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。
