Практика Shadowing: Ordering a Live Fish Return Pallet... What's Inside? - Изучайте разговорный английский по видео
Создание урока...
1
We just bought a truckload of live fish return mystery pallets for $563.
2
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
3
or if this is going to be a big flop.
4
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.
5
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.
6
Oh my God, this thing is so freaking heavy.
7
Just picked up our pallet from the airport loading dock.
8
They told us to bring a big ass truck
9
So we were thinking you know what might as well not bring our truck They said make sure it's enclosed
10
because of the weather so while the boys rented the u-haul again you haulers are here How's it going?
11
Packages in the back.
12
Keep her coming Jay Here we go
13
Let's go We definitely could have used the truck
14
but nothing better than an enclosed u-haul just in case it rains There's a lot here.
15
I don't know how heavy this is going to be.
16
Obviously, it was on a pallet, so they forklifted it on.
17
We're going to see if we can actually get it off.
18
Looks like there's about five boxes.
19
There's really some live fish inside, though.
20
You guys can see right here, live fish inside, so that's a good feeling.
21
It says handle with care in the back, live fish on the back here as well.
22
That is a good sign.
23
Let's see if we can save some fish.
24
I just pray they're alive, bro.
25
You never know.
26
So here's how we ended up with a truckload of fish mystery boxes just like this.
27
Turns out when people order live fish and aquarium gear, there are a lot of returns.
28
Some people change their minds, others can't take care of the fish, and sometimes the boxes just get lost or damaged in transit.
29
Instead of throwing everything away, this online fish retailer has a unique way of clearing it all out.
30
They auction off all the returns in these giant pallets.
31
Now I know what you're thinking and what I'm thinking.
32
How the heck are there going to be live fish in these return boxes?
33
Why would anyone put live fish back in a box and send them back?
34
Well, that's exactly what we're about to find out.
35
These pallets can be filled with some perfectly healthy fish, or we might be in for a shocking, not-so-alive surprise.
36
Either way, we're taking a gamble today.
37
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?
38
So there's only one way to find out.
39
Let's get these boxes in the warehouse and start unboxing one at a time.
40
One, two, three.
41
Oh my god!
42
There can't be anything other than water in this.
43
Okay.
44
Oh.
45
All right.
46
My god.
47
Okay.
48
Okay, hang on.
49
Watch the other one.
50
I'm dying a little bit.
51
Here, watch your fingers.
52
This thing is so damn heavy.
53
Get on the table.
54
Careful.
55
Is it on?
56
Yeah.
57
That's a guarantee at least between eight to ten spunters and a blackout.
58
It's time to open the box.
59
Right off rip, the top box definitely got neglected.
60
A little bit of a deformation.
61
Well, you can see it's protruding up there.
62
Or it could just be that full.
63
I don't know.
64
Then it can't close it.
65
Or you have to see.
66
We're going to just start chopping away.
67
Chopping wood.
68
Let's go.
69
I just love an incision there.
70
At least we know it got here.
71
Very well protected.
72
It's actually pretty amazing how durable cellophane is.
73
I know.
74
You wrap this thing up, it's not going anywhere.
75
Okay.
76
Let's go.
77
There you go.
78
We're open.
79
We're open.
80
Let's go.
81
We have, dude, five boxes.
82
Five boxes full of who goes what.
83
And we spent over 500 bucks on this.
84
Now, the thing about these boxes, they can come with live fish, but they also can come with anything they want to return.
85
So it can be literally anything.
86
We can make profit.
87
Do you think a lot of this stuff is going to be junk?
88
Like, no, there actually could be like a nice, like aquarium in here.
89
Nice fluable aquarium.
90
250 bucks.
91
One item can we can make half our money.
92
100%.
93
It's like Storage Wars, you know?
94
Yeah, literally.
95
You buy a storage and rip it open.
96
You gotta find out what's inside.
97
Holy crap, there they all are.
98
Everything looks like a good...
99
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
Inside of it.
307
What is that?
308
TORFISH!
309
Let's go!
310
What is that?
311
Chocolate chip?
312
The survivor!
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
That's our first starfish added to the pond.
335
He already looks super cool right along the glass.
336
Hey, look, he's dark.
337
Patrick.
338
I love him.
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
But that's why we got the warehouse, so we can just go crazy.
343
No rolls!
344

347
It's light?
348
It's so light.
349
That's devastating.
350
What do you mean, bro?
351
Never judge a box by its cover or its weight.
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?
356
We need $55.
357
$55 to break even?
358
Ooh, I don't know, bro.
359

378
Let's go!
379
Go, we made it all back.
380
That's if we- I know.
381
Like, imagine if the stuff that was returned because it's obviously broken was countable.
382
We had a filter.
383
We were huge.
384
In the green.
385
$20 in the green and we got ourselves a nice little cardinal fish.

Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
