This shipping container is worth over a million dollar.
Wait, what?
And this one is worth $0. And today,
we're going to be finding and opening shipping containers that we found on Google Maps. But first, we need to find
Google Maps. But first, we need to find one. Oh, I think I found one. Wait, let
one. Oh, I think I found one. Wait, let
me see that. Wait. Wo. That totally
looks like a shipping container. Only
question is, is it still there? I guess
there's only one way to find out. We're
going to go. We're going to go. So, we
rented a boat and made our way through the marina.
What if it floated away or what if it sunk?
I mean, this Google Maps photo is from like 2 months ago, [music] so it definitely could have. Every year,
thousands of shipping containers fall into the ocean, and millions of dollars are sunk to the bottom of the sea, but since they're still owned by the shipping company, it's technically illegal to fish them out. So, we have to
watch out for these police boats because they're everywhere.
All right. Yeah, those guys will definitely take us to jail.
[laughter] Little does he knows we're about to steal a crate.
Right now, we're in the Port of LA, which is the biggest port in America.
This might take us like days to find.
Yeah, but imagine what could be inside THIS SHIPPING CONTAINER.
TREASURE.
WE'RE GOING TO FIND TREASURE.
WAIT, WE'RE TREASURE HUNTERS.
EXACTLY. WE'RE PIRATES. We're pirates.
Well, now that Drew almost blew our cover, we got back to searching and took a closer look at our research. According
to the Google Maps photo, the company name on the side of the container is Tulip Company.
Well, I guess we just got to look for a crate that says Tulip.
And after searching every single cargo route in this harbor, we finally found an area with Tulip shipping containers.
But we were not ready for what we were about to find.
Oh, wait. What is that?
THAT'S IT, RIGHT? DO YOU SEE IT sticking out of the water?
That might be it.
WAIT, HAVE WE ACTUALLY FOUND IT?
WAIT, WHAT IS THAT?
[laughter] WAIT, WHAT?
Aing bird. Shut up.
It's a seagull.
Even though that wasn't it, we were definitely in the right area because right after that, we found this.
Brent. Brent.
It's the It's the freaking container.
Wait, is that it?
Bro, it says Tulip Co on the side.
Holy [ __ ] The map says it's in the middle of the ocean. How did it get all the way to the
ocean. How did it get all the way to the shore?
Bro, it must have washed up.
There was a storm like 3 days ago.
Oh, you're right. Let's go see if it got damaged, bro. What? Half of this container is
bro. What? Half of this container is submerged in the water, which makes me think if there's expensive things in here, it's destroyed.
Okay, well, let's hope it's not.
And the only way to find out is by cracking it open and going inside. But
first, we need to find a way in. So,
let's get in the water.
Drew and Caleb are in the water right now, seeing if they can find a hole somewhere in the container. Uh,
we're going under.
Did you see anything? No, but I'll keep looking.
Brett what?
There's a freaking There's a door. What
the Wait, WHAT?
WHAT?
It's a danger explosives.
Wait, what?
Wait, live animals.
What the Wait, live animals.
You got to come in AND CHECK IT OUT.
WELL, now that we found the door, we need to figure out a way to break it open so we can get inside.
Drew, are those bolt cutters?
It's gone.
Is it going?
Yeah. I need I need your help. I need to like use my whole I hear it.
Go, go, go, go, go. Oh. Oh. Why was that so easy to break?
Bro, there's no way we're opening this.
Wait, is it not opening?
No.
Wait, what?
Wait, what if we got something on this chain and towed it out?
Wait, you're right. Not only has this shipping container been stuck like this for over 2 months, but it's also flooded with water, making it impossible to open. So, we need to come up with a
open. So, we need to come up with a plan. You two pull the chains from this
plan. You two pull the chains from this side, and I'll be pushing it from the boat.
YOU READY, BRIAN?
YEAH. THREE, TWO, ONE. PULL.
WAIT. OH MY GOD. IT'S LITERALLY LIFTING.
PULL. [screaming] OH, IT'S GOING. IT'S
GOING.
IT'S ACTUALLY TILTING.
WAIT, DREW. It's working. Come on. Pull.
Dude, it's literally out OF THE WATER.
LOOK AT THIS.
And just as we thought we had everything under control, this happened.
Brent, we're not getting this thing open.
What are you doing?
Oh. Oh.
Uh, we were just we were just taking a look at the crane.
Yeah. Uh, is it yours?
Privateing property. Did you read the sign?
No.
It turns out that he's the owner of this dock. So, he took us to his office to
dock. So, he took us to his office to figure out what exactly is going on with this shipping container.
It was actually from Tulip Shipping Company, which is actually no longer in business. So, as far as we're concerned,
business. So, as far as we're concerned, it's basically a blip in our system.
And when we found out that he really didn't care about it, I decided to ask the most important question. Is there
any way that we can buy the crate from you? which led him to do some research
you? which led him to do some research to find out how much this shipping container could actually be worth. And
then he gave us his final price.
$20,000.
$20,000 cash.
But you're taking a risk. I got to let you know you're taking a risk.
That's a risk we should take.
Brian, come on.
This shipping container could be worth millions. But if whatever's inside got
millions. But if whatever's inside got damaged, it could also be worth nothing.
So after a few more minutes, I finally came up with an answer. All right, you got yourself a deal.
So, we paid him the $20,000 and he even let us use this piece of wood [music] to help keep the shipping container from falling back into the water. But the
tide is rising, so we only have about 3 hours left before it completely floods.
So, let's do this fast.
Oh. Oh my god.
Wait, it's opening, right? It's actually
opening.
Oh my god.
IT'S FULL.
SO GREAT.
WAIT, WHAT?
What the hell is this?
Is that a coffin?
Shut up.
Oh my god. Oh my gosh.
What are we even doing?
I'm not going to lie. There is a little bit of water in here, too. Which is not a good sign.
Oh my god. Look, it's like filled with water.
Yeah.
Guys, be careful. That could be worth $2,000.
Wait, it floats. [laughter]
The coffin float.
Do you think it's used?
What? The coffin?
What kind of question is that?
Oh, wait. Okay, it's empty. Thank
[laughter] god.
There's a lot of stuff IN HERE. WE CAN
definitely make 20,000 OFF THIS.
YEAH. And little did we know, we were about to be rich because of this next item alone, if it's not broken. Do you
think this is something really expensive?
Yeah, you might have made your money back with this one.
So, we took it to shore to check it out.
3 2 1.
Wait, wait, what the hell?
Wait, a robot?
It's actually a robot.
Shut up. It's lighting up.
Wait, wait, wait. Does the robot still work?
L2.
[screaming] Oh my god.
OH MY GOD.
WAIT.
What the [ __ ] Oh my god.
Oh my. This is actually the coolest thing I've ever opened. Look at this.
Says dance mode.
No way.
Wait. It says you can do kung fu.
Oh, really?
Bring it on, Caleb. I would say that this is NOT A
Caleb. I would say that this is NOT A GOOD IDEA.
WAIT, WHAT? OH,
we could do this all day.
I KNOW, BUT WE GOT TO GET BACK TO THE SURF. AND since we only have 2 hours
SURF. AND since we only have 2 hours left to search through this entire shipping container, we decided to skip through any boxes that weren't expensive and put them in our donation pile. The
tide is rising so fast that the water is getting higher in the container, which means it could be ruining all the stuff that we just bought.
Oh boy.
And it's electronics, bro.
Okay, reveal.
Oh, shut up. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
shut up. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
We don't know if it's ruined yet.
All of them are just unopened.
No way.
It's literally soaked. The iPhone's wet.
Oh my god.
It's literally brand new.
It's not turn.
It works.
It actually works.
Dude, there's like 50 iPhones here. What
do we do with them?
You know what? I say we give them TO THE SUBSCRIBERS.
OH YEAH.
SO GUYS, IF YOU WANT A BRAND NEW IPHONE, hit that subscribe button.
Subscribe.
I can't even imagine [music] what else is inside this container if we Oh.
Oh. [screaming]
Oh no. THAT WAS FLOATING AWAY.
GOD. OH MY GOD.
WHY IS ALL THE EXPENSIVE falling in the water?
Put on the shore. Put on the shore.
Dude, what's inside this box?
It's a car.
A what?
It's a pink jeep.
True. Go.
These things are worth like 250 bucks.
Not anymore.
Guys, don't worry. Look, they're
biodegradable. They
Oh, that's good. Okay. Okay.
The next few boxes weren't worth much money and just got added to our pile of donations.
This is useless. OH, WHAT THE?
But that's when we noticed that the shipping container was starting to sink.
The water's rising pretty fast.
No, it's true. You're just short, bro.
[laughter] I'm not going to lie, there's a lot of water in this container, I'm afraid that a lot of the stuff in the back isn't going to work. And since we don't want anything to get any more water damage
than it already is, we need to start searching even faster. Wait, what is that?
This is a tire. No, this is brand new.
OH. OH, WHAT THE IT'S a Ferrari rim. Oh
my god.
If this is a Ferrari rim, then that means that there has to be a Ferrari inside the container, right?
No way, Brent. There's no way there's a car in here.
I mean, you never know. We found the rim. After that, we found a few more
rim. After that, we found a few more expensive products.
Oh, what is it?
Oh my god.
Usually Iron Man's supposed to save people, but instead we're saving him right now.
But we still have no idea why this shipping container was just left here.
So, we decided to dig a little deeper.
Was it returns? Was it someone's actual stuff? Oh, well, let's just check the
stuff? Oh, well, let's just check the paper and check.
Assorted uninspected return merchandise.
Uninspected. So, like none of this stuff has been looked through.
Wait, what are we going to find?
We can find some crazy right now, bro. [laughter] Honestly. All right,
bro. [laughter] Honestly. All right,
let's keep looking.
Well, now we know that everything in this container has never been checked.
And it changes everything. It could be full of illegal or deadly products. So,
we better hurry and bring all this stuff to shore. I feel like this is another
to shore. I feel like this is another robot.
I'm praying it's another robot, Bren. If
it's another robot, then we're going to make so much money.
Let's open it in three, two, one.
PLEASE BE A ROBOT. YES.
WAIT, WHAT THE?
It's a robot dog.
Yeah, I see this on TikTok all the time.
There's a button on the side of them.
Oh, you know what to do when there's a button Drew.
Press it.
YO, WAIT. It worked.
WAIT. It worked.
What?
This robot might seem like a real living dog, but the next thing we found in the shipping container was actually alive.
Wait, Brent. It says live animals.
Handle with care. Something's inside.
Whatever is in here has been here for who knows how long. It's probably not even alive.
OH, THEY'REING MAD.
WHAT? WHAT?
OH, NO. NO. NO. NO.
CALEB, WHAT IS IT?
WAIT, WHAT DID you see?
Snakes.
Oh my god.
Oh my god. HE'S TRYING TO GET OUT. HE'S
TRYING TO GET OUT.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CARE FOR SNAKES.
LIKE, what if it's venomous and it bites us?
Yeah, that's a good point. We should
probably just get rid of them.
[laughter] And since we don't want to risk getting bit, we moved the snakes and got back to searching through these boxes.
Oh, wait. Oh my god. Apple Shanghai.
$17,000.
If the MacBooks work.
But then we found something even more dangerous.
Is that an ATM?
Oh my god. Is that an electric surfboard?
Wait, what?
There is so much stuff.
OH MY GOD.
OH MY GOD.
WAIT. WAIT. DON'T GET WET. DON'T GET
WET.
BRO, it's a [ __ ] surfboard. It's
meant to get wet.
Oh yeah, you're right. But before we try to break open that ATM, Drew wanted to see if the electric surfboard still worked.
You got this, Drew.
He doesn't got this.
Yeah.
Oh, what?
Wait, he's actually doing it.
Dude, shut up.
Okay. [laughter] Well, now that Drew got that out of the way, let's break open that ATM.
Wait, bro. There might be money in this.
Wait, but how are we going to open it?
OH, DON'T WORRY, BRETT.
WO! I GOT the answer.
What do we think there's going to be more money than what I could sell this for?
Cuz I could SELL THIS FOR LIKE PROBABLY $1,000.
I'M GOING TO ANSWER that question for you. It's too late.
you. It's too late.
I think there's money. Oh,
bro. The money's down here, not on the screen.
Oh, wait. Just open it.
Oh crap.
Wait, what the [ __ ] OH, WAIT. BRETT, THERE'S A $100 BILL IN
OH, WAIT. BRETT, THERE'S A $100 BILL IN HERE. Is there anything else in there?
HERE. Is there anything else in there?
No, honestly, it's just this $100 bill.
Well, there goes another $1,000. But so
far, I'm still up over 50 grand. And we
still haven't even found the most expensive item in here yet.
All right. Wait, what is that?
What is What?
The big white thing.
Wait, is that a car?
No.
The Ferrari.
Shut up. There's not a Ferrari in here.
I just found the Ferrari reel.
Okay, let's open up these boxes first so we can make more way for All right, we'll get these out of the way.
Oh my god.
WAIT, FIREWORKS.
GUYS, I MEAN, don't break it.
Wait, what?
Is that fireworks?
Oh, these could blow up at any time.
The container said there's explosives in here.
Okay, wait. I shouldn't be touching this.
It's freaking that.
Even though we want to see what kind of car is under that cover. We don't know if there's any more dangerous or explosive items in here. So, we have TO BE CAREFUL.
If it was expensive, it's definitely not worth anything now. It's chipped. That
antique definitely has a really bad chip. But this next box is full of even
chip. But this next box is full of even worse chips.
DORITOS. [laughter]
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY DORITOS in here?
LEVELS IS WAY better than Doritos.
I agree. You guys SCREW DORITOS.
Click the link in my description to buy Levels.
Oh my god.
So far, we found lielike robots, Apple products, and so many more electronics.
And somehow none of it was damaged.
There's like five TVs. Yo, who wants a free flat screen TV?
Earlier we said to subscribe for the iPhone, but if you want a TV, like the video.
Like it.
But we weren't so lucky with our next few products.
Oh, Brett, look. It's an electric unicycle. So, does it work?
unicycle. So, does it work?
Let's see.
It doesn't work.
Well, let's keep searching.
All right.
Now, we only have about 30 minutes left before the tide rises too high and we lose everything. And since our last two
lose everything. And since our last two vehicles didn't work, we need to hurry because we don't want to risk that car getting water damaged.
Bro, I'm trying to open these fast. I
feel like the tide's rising. We're going
to drown in here. Wait, I recognize these glasses, BRO. SHUT UP.
BRO, WHAT?
OH, THIS IS MINE. THIS IS MINE.
OPEN UP. SEE WHAT'S INSIDE. THERE'S NO
way there's actually Louis Vuitton in here, BRO.
DUDE, THESE ARE LIKE $2,000.
BRO, THEY'RE ACTUALLY REAL.
WO! ANOTHER PURSE.
WAIT, DUDE. There's a bunch of water IN IT.
OH.
UM, YEAH, that one is cooked.
Okay, well, let's hurry up because we're running out of time.
They're Pokémon cards.
Wait, what? These are so much money.
This is like brand new, too. Look, it's
in the seal.
All right, we got to go through these quick. We don't have much time. We're
quick. We don't have much time. We're
looking for something shiny.
Nothing. Okay, let's see. Wait, are you guys hearing that?
Wait, what is that?
It's a freaking crate.
Wo, we're moving.
Wait, we're like rocking.
We're actually moving. The waves are starting to get really high.
Wait. Yeah, the tide is way too high.
All right, let's go quick. Quick quick.
Let's go quick. Okay, wait. What is
that?
That's okay. That's okay. That's
okay. Hey, this is decent.
Oh, that's okay.
What is that?
That's I think that's good. I think
that's good.
Wait, this looks sick. [laughter]
WAIT, ARTICUNO. DUDE, I LOVE ARTICUNO.
We don't have time to open all these Pokémon cards, so let's just open them later. Wait, what's in this box? Wait,
later. Wait, what's in this box? Wait,
dude there's Be careful.
We don't have much time, bro. Caleb,
bro. Caleb, WE GOT PS5.
LET'S GO. WAIT, ARE THEY WATER DAMAGED?
NO, BRO. Mine's completely dry.
No, mine's dry, too.
All right, let's finish this up.
ALL RIGHT, BRO.
That one's yours. This one's mine.
[laughter] And now that we've moved every box out of the way, it's finally time to take off the cover and see what kind of car we bought for $20,000 because we were not prepared for what
happened to it after. Bro, how do we know it's not like destroyed?
Hey, man, there's only one way to find out Drew.
I mean, guys, there was a lot of water in here. This car could not work at all.
in here. This car could not work at all.
Like, it could literally be water damaged or it could be in perfect condition and we got a new car.
In three, two, one.
Oh.
OH, WAIT. WHAT?
OH, [screaming] HOLY CRAP. WAIT,
HOLY CRAP. WAIT, WAIT, WHAT? It's a freaking slingshot.
WAIT, WHAT? It's a freaking slingshot.
WAIT, THESE THINGS ARE LIKE $50,000.
OH, OKAY. WAIT. This is someone's car and they kept it in perfect condition.
Wait, Drew, we're in a car in the middle of THE OCEAN RIGHT [laughter] NOW.
WAIT, but does it start?
Bro, IT ACTUALLY WORKS.
NEW CAR, BRO. Shut up. It's turning on.
BRO. Shut up. It's turning on.
We're going to go get some food real quick. You want anything,

Caleb? We're in the middle of the ocean right now. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DRIVE
right now. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DRIVE THAT OFF?
WELL, there's sushi. We're going to eat sushi RIGHT THERE.
BRO, IT'S [laughter] RED. Now that we've emptied the entire shipping container, it's light enough for the dock owner to lift it out of the water and onto the land so we can take our car out.
It's a kind of a tight squeeze.
I KNOW. BE CAREFUL. DON'T SCRATCH IT.
[laughter] Oh my god.
Wait, this is so sick. [laughter]
I didn't realize this was like a three-w wheeled car.
Dude, what? There's one wheel in the back.
Okay, wait. I knew it felt a little funky. I'm going to take it for a test
funky. I'm going to take it for a test drive.
