Original subtitles

Brett: coming up on this Special episode of "Tanked"...

We travel the world Building tanks.

Wayde: brett, where are we Right now? What airport?

I think we're in philly.

And working on the road Comes with complications.

2,000 miles away from my shop, So when things go wrong,

We got to scramble.

Why is that here? Wrong shipment.

Plus, with all that Moving around,

Accidents happen.

Just give it to me!

[ glass shatters ] Oh!

How we looking?

We got to start All over again.

What a trip this has been.

Wayde: I'm wayde king.

Brett: I'm brett raymer.

We're two new yorkers Who moved to las vegas

To follow our dreams...

To create underwater worlds Like no one's ever seen.

We build aquariums.

We're the number-one Aquarium builders in the world.

It's a family business, For sure.

[ indistinct shouting ]

I was forced Into this relationship.

I married brett's sister.

Brett: And my dad runs operations.

We call him "The general."

[ laughs ]

We may fight, But somehow we make it work.

If you can dream it, We can build it.

Wayde: Here at atm, we've traveled The world building aquariums.

We have installed pools In glamorous locations,

Like turks and caicos And mexico.

And we've crisscrossed The united states,

Dealing with every type Of climate.

This is 100% earthquake-proof.

The rest of the place might Fall down before the tanks fall.

But we always leave behind Amazing tanks.

I have enough Frequent-flyer miles

To buy a flight On the space shuttle.

Can you do that? I don't know.

Maybe we can build a tank Up there.

[ laughs ]

You might think it's glamorous Meeting celebrities...

Yes!

How you doing? What's going on? Pleasure. Nice to meet you guys.

Brett: ...Visiting amazing cities, And staying in nice hotels.

But then there's The ugly side.

[ flight attendant Speaking over intercom ] Three flights, a tram,

An escalator, walking.

What a trip this has been.

We lost our flight.

We're getting On another flight.

That's standby. They canceled that.

We're gonna have to get On another flight.

I want to get home already.

Sometimes, we forget What city we're in.

Wayde: brett, where are we Right now? What airport?

I think we're in philly.

And the jet lag...

Both: ho-ho, the jet lag.

[ snoring ] You sleep More than anyone.

Sleeping keeps my mind sharp, And I need my mind sharp.

Designing a tank And taking measurements

On one side of the country

And installing it on another Takes some serious brain power.

We've run into about Every single roadblock You can imagine

Installing tanks On location.

So, our plumbing's off 3/4 everywhere.

All of our bulkhead connections Are wrong.

[ groans ]

This ain't gonna hold.

Wayde: oh, boy. So, that was great, dude.

I admit -- on occasion, we have Gotten are wires crossed.

Man #2 : wayde, I got your drawing.

But it's not really What I envisioned.

There was definitely A mistake

And a miscommunication On measurement.

Especially when you entrust The communications

To a grumpy geriatric.

You want me to skype?

Especially then.

We were in woburn, Massachusetts, to do a tank

For a high-tech Robotics company.

And when you're dealing With robotics,

Attention to detail Is everything.

[ whirring ]

Louis: three different tanks, I'm thinking.

So, right here, Boom, boom, boom. I got a great idea.

I know you can program These robots to do just About anything, right?

Yeah, almost anything.

What about making them Feed each one of the tanks?

That'd be awesome.

Take the thing, Put it in the middle,

It zips around, feeds one tank, Feeds the other...

Feeds the other. It'd be like The world's largest fish feeder.

[ chuckles ] We can do it.

Wayde: The microstar system aquarium

Will consist Of three large tanks --

One square, one hexagon, And one round --

Spanning 18 feet across.

The centerpiece of this aquarium Is a large robotic arm

That will extend out

And be programmed to feed The fish in all three tanks.

It'll know the right amount Of food to dispense

At the exact time of each day -- Some real high-tech stuff.

Leave it to brett To promise a tank

Where precise measurements Are needed

To program a robot From across the country.

My biggest mistake was To ask my dad to skype with lou.

All right, let's see What happens. Oh, there he is.

Lou, can you see me? Yeah, I'm here, irwin. How you doing?

Okay, I'm gonna pick you up And carry you around.

Brett: all the general had to do Was show lou the tanks

And get the right measurements So we can cut the holes

For the robot feeder.

In the back, we have some birds. Can you see the cages?

Yeah.

Avalanche Pretty bird -- oh, yeah.

The octagon tank Coming up right over here.

Oh, hexagon, hexagon. You're right.

Wait, wait, wait.

Say that again.

I'll take care of it.

All right, buddy. Bye.

Whoa!

Brett: next, we had to Take the measurements

That lou gave the general

And map them out On the finished tanks.

Right there, red.

[ imitates whirring ]

Watch your belly.

Easy, big guy. Make a mark right there, Over there.

[ imitates whirring ]

I'm thinking Probably right about here.

I'm gonna cut these All out now.

Me and red Will get on them,

And we're gonna make these holes Just right for the robotic arm.

So, I get a call from lou,

And he seems A little bit short with me,

I guess he wasn't that impressed With the general.

What did you say To the robot guys?

I don't know. I thought everything went fine.

Oh, it went fine, dad? [ scoffs ]

That's not what I heard.

Well, I don't know.

At this point, we already Cut out the feeding holes

And packed up the tanks.

There's nothing else to do

But hope the general Gave us the right measurements.

I would hate to fire my dad,

But...Got to do What you got to do.

[ laughs ]

So, we hopped a plane Back to massachusetts

And hoped for the best.

Of course, We almost didn't make it

Because somebody had to get Stopped by airport security.

[ laughs ]

So, my man is getting frisked.

He's got raw steaks in his bag.

[ laughs ]

Raw steaks In your carry-on?

What? Did you need a snack For the flight?

You're not supposed to bring Steaks in your bag, buddy. [ both laugh ]

Well, we made it, And we got the tank installed.

All right, here we go. Let's do it.

Wayde: sweetlips.

Brett: sweetlips.

Okay, let's do The magnificent foxface.

There she goes.

This is a pretty big zebra eel, So be careful, okay?

Here you go. Here we go.

Watch her find her new home.

That's all the fish. That's the last eel.

After all the back-and-forth, It was finally time

To show the world The first robotic fish feeder.

The tanks looked great,

But we still had to prove Our measurements for the feeder

Were spot-on.

Yeah, if they were off,

The robot would be slinging Squid and brine shrimp

All over the place.

Did we build the world's Largest fish feeder?

This is the moment of truth, So, vlad, I think it's time.

Let's see if this thing Really works.

[ cheers and applause ]

Brett: there they go.

Success. And the coolest part is --

The robot knows what fish food To put into each tank

For the different species.

Maybe my dad wasn't so clueless After all.

Guys, we've confirmed we've made The world's largest fish feeder.

Wayde: each of the three Geometrically shaped robot tanks

Were stocked With predators of the sea --

Sharks, stingrays, and eels.

It's 2,400 gallons of water, Weighing a whopping 12 tons --

All that, and it has An automated feeder.

When you get on a forklift On any jobsite,

You better know How that forklift works.

Oh! Oh!Oh!

I don't want him Hitting the tank.

If you're just tuning in,

We're talking About the travel that's involved

When you're the number-one Aquarium manufacturer

In the world.

One of the things that makes it Difficult on location

Is not having All of your own equipment.

Yeah. Like when we did That 35-foot massive tank

For the casino san diego.

[ dinging ]

Brett: Once it's filled with water,

This tank is gonna weigh Almost 15 tons.

Can your floor Handle that much weight?

We dug out the floor. We repoured the concrete.

So it'll withstand any weight You want to put on there.

It's gonna be more than a tank.

It's gonna be a wall dividing The casino from the bar.

The main challenge will be Building it in vegas

And transporting the tank And the stand into the casino.

The only way in is Through the front door, so... That's it?

Right through the front Of the casino. Can we move any Of this stuff, maybe?

Eh, they're moneymakers for us, So we can't move them too long.

We can't take a long time To move them.

Wayde: The guys got going on the stand And tank immediately.

Brett: it looked even bigger Than I had imagined.

Then it was time To get it off to valley view.

Yeah, And since this 35-foot giant

Wouldn't fit in my luggage,

I had to get a 45-foot trailer To get it down to san diego. [ horn honks ]

We trucked that thing 330 miles.

Since we weren't at home, We didn't have our forklifts,

So the guys at valley view -- They lent us theirs.

And like the tank, These things were huge.

Yeah, it looked like

You guys were driving Transformers out there.

On any jobsite, Every forklift's different,

So what you have to do is kind Of get used to the forklifts.

When you're moving a tank Like this, you better know How that forklift works.

This is why we put "B" On the little baby forklift.

[ laughs ]

Brett: Redneck, let's go.

[ beeping ]

Wayde: The tank and stand --

They're laying side by side On the truck.

What I wanted to do Was grab the front of the stand,

Drag it out so I can get The forks underneath

To lift the stand off.

Oh! Oh!Oh!

When you put The forks through,

I didn't want to hit the tank And crack the tank.

Brett: Redneck, down!

Easy there. Easy.

I don't want him Hitting the tank!

You're good, you're good. Come on.

Hold the ends, Guys.

We're gonna back up.

[ beeping ]

Easy, easy. Wayde: we're clear All the way around?

Brett: yeah, we're clear. We're clear.

The stand wobbled but made it Down into the casino safely.

The acrylic part of this tank Is heavy

And not as sturdy As the steel stand.

We had to be careful.

One, two, three!

Robbie: Don't slow down.

We lose our momentum On the carpet, we're dead.

Brett: push! Let's go! Come on!

It's stuck on the carpet! It's hard to push! Push!

[ grunting ]

Come on, push! It's not going.

Brett: dude, what do you mean It's not going? It's not going. We blew a wheel, dude.

We got a flat tire.

Wayde: the carts failed.

We're a long way From the shop,

And that's where the tools are To fix them.

I guess when we hit the carpet, It sunk in.

So that wheel's gone.

Don: I know you've run Into some issues here,

But I've got A table-games pit

That we have to Get back together.

I got buses gonna be here Any minute.

400, 500 people Are coming here.

I need to get the casino Back operational. You got it.

A busted cart, no tools To fix it, no time to fix it,

Plus, Our client's telling us

To move our asses To get out of the way.

Good thing I ate my wheaties, Big guy.

Yeah, your wheaties,

Plus the 15 guys The casino gave us

To power-muscle the tank In place.

One, two, three!

Guys, Watch the slot machines!

Push, guys. Let's go!

Oh!Oh! Oh!Oh!

Straight in.

Easy. Good.

Come on, push!

Watch your fingers.

[ laughs ]

[ cheers and applause ]

Brett: with the tank in place And the water in,

All we had to do was lower The fish into their new home,

And we were home free.

Holy cow! This is amazing!

This is awesome. Eric: unbelievable.

You are the best.

Brett: Guys think it's good, huh? Oh, my god.

Brett: I think they were Just overwhelmed

With the sheer size Of this aquarium.

It was like, "Pow! Look at that thing!"

Wayde: you guys said you wanted A tank over the top.

We wanted to build that For you.

I can't believe This big thing

Was pulled in Through the front door

And you got it all up here -- Oh, my god.

Brett: The valley view casino tank Is a behemoth at 35 feet long,

It's a floor-to-ceiling Room divider,

It took over 400 man-hours,

And its 30,000 pounds sits On a reinforced-concrete floor.

That's not supposed to be here.

Yeah, I know. We're screwed.

They're supposed to be On the other jobsite.

They shipped it To the wrong place. [ exhales sharply ]

Brett: today, we're talking About what it's like

To constantly install tanks When you're on the road.

Wayde: we already showed you the Valley view tank in san diego

And the robot tank in boston

And the difficulties of using Someone else's equipment

And collaborating From miles away.

But another problem We have to deal with

Is being out Of our element.

Off on another trip.

North carolina.

High point, North carolina.

Two new yorkers In north carolina.

Uh-oh. We might be in trouble.

Brett: We went to north carolina

To do a tank for the southern Brett and wayde --

The harris brothers Of furnitureland,

The largest furniture retailer In the world.

They do things At their own pace down south.

Maybe you should Consider moving there, brett.

Maybe.

Tremendous.

Hey, how you doing, man? Nice to meet you.

No problem Finding the place?

Brett: with that big dresser Outside? Couldn't miss it.

It's a highboy, 85 feet tall.

It might be A highboy out here,

But where we come from, It's a dresser.

Highboy?

What the heck Is that?

I don't know.

But in new york,

It's someone you don't want Your kid to hang out with.

Whatever language you speak, This place is huge.

You know what they say.

Everything's bigger In north carolina.

I think you mean texas.

Jason: We have 1.3 million square feet Of showroom space here.

[ whistles ] That's big.

It's like 22 football fields Of furniture.

We're actually gonna launch A new division called sleepland,

And we want it to be

A world-class shopping Experience for mattresses,

And that's kind of why I called you guys.

We want to do something With a fish tank

To pull people in here And sort of set that mood.

What we do is produce A rendering or a drawing.

Wayde: our idea is to build A badass 700-gallon tank

That's gonna look like A headboard over a bed.

The arch is gonna be Six feet across.

The steel stands Are gonna be encased in wood

And look like cabinetry.

The trouble is --

We have to make this All in the shop 3,000 miles away

And hope it comes together when We install it in north carolina.

We got back to vegas And got to work right away.

Every aspect of this tank Has to be perfectly executed

To seamlessly fit before we ship It down south for the install.

Not to mention, we need to fit In by acting like gentlemen.

Dude, That's not in my dna.

[ southern accent ] But once me and my kinfolk Got the tank fit as a fiddle,

I reckon we could Head down yonder

And install it Lickety-split.

Dude, your southern accent Is worse than your work ethic.

Why, thank you.

Brett: install, baby. Wayde: let's do it.

We're miles away from atm,

And every part of our tank's Got to be shipped.

And with shipping, it could lead To mix-ups and lost parts.

Yeah, I'd hate to see One of our tanks

On the back Of a milk carton.

Yeah. [ laughs ]

Beautiful. Straight up, guys.

Good job. Good job, guys.

Yeah!

Everything Was going perfectly.

So, all we need to do Is get the filters?

I'll get the wet-dry out.

The wet-dry is a crucial part Of the filtration system.

It actually puts oxygen And bacteria back into the tank.

Unbelievable.

Wayde. Yeah?

Come here.

Why is that here?

Wrong shipment.

That's not Supposed to be here.

Yeah, I know. We're screwed.

They're supposed to be On the other jobsite.

They shipped it To the wrong place.

Oh, boy. What, Did they cross shipments?

Yeah. I bet you our stuff is Probably sitting somewhere else.

When you're traveling Across the country

And you're not at the shop Double-checking shipments,

Mistakes can happen.

This one is a big one.

This is bad, bro. All right, we got to get it Shipped out of here fast.

This is really bad. We got to get The other one here fast.

This is the most important part Of the filtration. Yeah, I understand that. I know.

Dead in the water.

We've never let a client down By missing an install deadline,

And I am not gonna be the one To tell them.

All right, listen, You got to get on the phone.

This has to go to them. Theirs has to come to us.

This is gonna set us back A long time.

It's gonna have To be here tomorrow.

Get on the phone now. This is a problem. Now.

Unbelievable.

We've got fish arriving tomorrow That need a tank to go into.

We really need that filter.

It's really, really urgent That you, right now,

Get these crates swapped out

And get me that crate Early in the morning,

Overnight, you understand?

Otherwise, We're dead in the water.

We had to delay the unveiling Of the tank by a day.

Instead of being mad, The southern brett and wayde --

They were as relaxed As could be.

I don't understand Those guys.

Double or nothing On the 10-footer.

If you make two in a row, It's worth 50 bucks.

With a lot of phone calls And a lot of sweating bullets,

We were able to get some crates Here in the morning.

All right, guys, thank you. Thank you very much.

Thanks, big guy.

And all that was left

Is to see if they were Actually the right ones.

Hey, bro. Let's get this upstairs.

If this don't go in, We don't put fish in.

It looks okay.

How's it look, aaron? No cracks?

No, it looks good.

Yo, the fish are waiting on you, So let's put them in.

I got this.

Let's get the gravel in.

Bioactive live sand. Nature's ocean, baby.

Hey, what's up, guys? I got your fish, man.

Oh, great, That's awesome.

Longnose butterfly.

Looks like pinocchio, huh?

Brett: a whole bunch -- a whole School of pajama cardinals.

It's like a sleepover party.

Goldrim tang.

Harlequin tusk. Harlequin tusk.

Love this fish.

We made the harris brothers Wait to see the tank,

So I was extra nervous To see their reaction.

Atm, baby. This is how we do it.

You have got To be kidding me!

Jason: This is it, man!

This is Unbelievable, guys. This is perfect.

This is absolutely Ri-tank-ulous, man!

[ laughter ]

Again, we have a language Barrier with the southerners,

But I'm pretty sure "Ri-tank-ulous" --

It's a good thing.

Ha ha! I think you're right.

The furnitureland tank Is over 600 gallons,

Spans almost 12 feet Across a california king bed,

And weighs 3 tons.

And it took two full days To do the install

After a filter-shipping mix-up.

The boys from atm Nailed it.

Brett: and now it's time For a quick fish fact.

Speaking of travel...

Find out after the break.

That's the equivalent Of just 5 feet per hour.

Man, I hope he's not in a hurry.

We're talking About tanks across america

And the ups and downs Of being on the road.

Yeah, And I love traveling.

But I don't love Shipping our tanks --

I mean, our babies -- Across the country.

I've lost entire nights Of sleep

Worrying about what we're gonna See when the truck door opens...

Or when we pop open The crates.

Dude, That looks horrible.

Oh, my god. What did they do?

They clear-coated it.

We got a problem.

Whoa.

Brett: what the [bleep] Was that?

The bottom of the pallet Snapped.

Wayde: usually, we can blame The shipping companies

Or someone like frankie Back at the shop,

But the biggest casualty ever

Was the pinball machine Before it left the shop.

And that was your fault.

You really believe that?

We're off to chicago right now, "The windy city."

I hope the wind Doesn't mess up my hair.

The first thing you got to know Is, our client out there --

He's a pinball nut With an impressive collection

Of vintage pinball machines.

[ dinging ] Oh, this thing's -- What are you doing?

Oh, you're trying to tilt me. You think you're funny.

Good try, though.

[ grunts, laughs ]

Yeah, tilt, baby!

And he wanted An equally impressive fish tank.

The creativity of it all I'm gonna leave up to you guys,

But I'd like to do something, You know, with the vintage,

Old-school pinball arcade, Something along those lines.

What if we turn a pinball Machine into an aquarium? How awesome would that be?

Awesome.

For once, I was on board With his awesome idea.

I bet you we can go back To vegas,

I bet you we can find an old Pinball machine somewhere,

Another one. I'm excited, guys.

We got to catch a flight, man, But, hey, thanks for having us.

So we fly back to vegas to find A vintage pinball machine.

Boy, oh, boy. Wait, here's one.

Buccaneer.

Wayde: oh, it's pirates.

Look at the stingray.

It's the best so far.

I finally got my hands On the perfect machine.

I got redneck a present.

Let's put it together.

This is as old As your dad.

That's old.

I want it out of the way So you don't break it.

Now let's hope it works. Oh, look at that.

Wayde: Since the flippers and the ball Movement will hurt the fish,

We put the tanks on the side, Each supported by a steel stand.

A third tank will go in front Of the back glass of the machine

So you can still see your High score through the tank.

We got this antique Into pristine condition,

And it was ready to ship.

Can you grab that, "B," or no?

I got it. You got it?

Be careful. Yeah. All right, Give it to me. I got it.

I got it. Come on, Just give it to me!

[ glass shatters ] Redneck: oh!

Oh!

It's an antique. How are we gonna replace this? Like I did it on purpose.

I'm sorry. What do you Want me to tell you?

You're fixing it. You're fixing this whole thing.

[ dialing ]

Hey, tim. Hey, this is brett from atm.

Listen to me. I need a huge favor.

I'm in deep water right now.

Uh-huh. The truck's here Right now.

I need one in chicago In the next couple of days.

Yeah, it's urgent, okay?

Two days.

[ receiver clicks ]

Wayde: the machine, Minus the glass, was on a truck,

And we were on a plane Back to chicago.

Not to mention, Our client, jed --

He was flying his friends And family in

To see the tank reveal.

This install had to stay On schedule.

So, we get to chicago And start installing the tank

Like there's nothing wrong.

Nothing was wrong. I had it under control.

One side And then get the level.

I don't want to put any fish

Or any plants or anything In here

Until we get That back glass.

Hi. This is brett raymer.

I'm calling to check On a status of a shipment.

Do me a favor -- Let me know what's going on.

Okay, thank you.

There's no sense If the glass don't make it here.

Not at all. That looks horrible.

I really need this piece To get this thing done.

There some more small, Little pieces, right? Yo, the new back glass Has arrived.

Wow, was that close. Oh, what were you worried about? No big deal. It's perfect.

You better make sure That's in one piece. Hold on.

Yeah, it's in one piece.

You sure? Positive.

Let's go. Let's check this thing out.

Don't drop that one, Brett.

Stingray -- Looks good to me.

Let me see. Do me a favor -- Don't touch it. Don't tug on it.

Let go, let go. You broke it already. All right. All right. Got it?

All right.

Wayde: can you push the top Of the glass in?

There you go. You got it?

I got it. About time.

You got it?

I always got it. Slide it back.

I got it. [ grunts ]

Stop saying you got it, Brett. I got it.

So, just like in fairy tales, All's well that ends well.

Dude, I think that was shakespeare.

Dude, shakespeare Wrote fairy tales. Whatever.

Ready for you guys.

Let's go see this. Oh, wow.

Danielle: wow. [ gasps ]

It's unbelievable.

Oh, man!

Far and away Exceeding expectations, guys.

Look at this, huh?

Hey, looks nice.

Woman: That is so neat.

Awesome. Yeah, there you go.

Brett: The three pinball tanks in total Hold 125 gallons of water,

Weigh over 1,250 pounds,

And took countless years Off my life

Worrying if the glass Was gonna arrive on time.

Tanks aren't the only things That are challenging to ship.

You ever try to hand a mailman A 3-foot shark?

I'm going right up The ladder.

Man: ready? Let's go.

Wayde! Wayde!

On this very special episode Of "Tanked,"

We're showing you how we bring The atm show on the road.

We've showed you how we Transport tanks and equipment,

But what about The fish themselves?

Typically, our fish are placed In oxygenated bags

And packed Into protective shipping boxes.

But sometimes, Moving fish around

Is more challenging Than that.

Where's dumb and dumber going This week?

[ laughs ] We're going to new york.

For an orthodontist, Right, on long island?

He's opening up A brand-new office.

He wants a tank For the grand opening.

Dude, it's great to be back On the island.

Wayde: the only problem Being back in new york

Is you forget We're here to work.

It's not all going To yankee games with your boys

And going out to the club.

Okay, dad.

Brett: dr. Joe? Yes.

Hey. Brett. Hey, brett.

How are you? Nice to meet you.

I appreciate it. No problem, man.

This is wayde -- My partner, wayde.

Hey, wayde. Nice to meet you.

Come on, guys. Let me show you What I have in mind.

I would love for my patients

To be able to appreciate My passion for fish,

Especially sharks.

We need to make this thing Really big.

Give me this thing.

Maybe 18 to 20 feet long

To make the aquarium The whole wall.

What this guy wasn't thinking

When he said We can do a tank that big

Was the size of the sharks That we need for that tank.

Hey, when the creative juices Are flowing,

I can't contain them.

I'm gonna get you a muzzle. [ laughs ]

We can do it, doc. We'll get it Done for you, no problem. Thanks, guys.

All right, you got it. Thanks, wayde. Appreciate it.

That consult was great,

But when you showed up At the airport the next morning,

It looked like You got hit by a truck.

Ugh. I had a little too much fun With the boys.

[ both laugh ]

Wayde: did you get any sleep Last night, brett?

I'm gonna be honest with you. It was a rough night.

It was a rough night? Yeah.

I think you should get some Toothpicks under those eyes.

It was a rough night.

What can I say? The road's a cruel mistress.

But back in vegas, It was business as usual.

We have a tank That's 18 feet long

And can hold 2,000 gallons Of water.

Plus, we got to figure out

Where we're gonna get The big sharks that we need.

We just don't go To sharks "R" us.

Yeah, you have to go To a specialized dealer

Or have good connections To get sharks that size.

Yo. I got ahold of marco From staten island.

He had a blacktip, And he had a nurse shark.

He said they're About a little over 3 feet. That's a big shark.

So, what I told him is maybe we Trade him out for some smaller Sharks for the bigger ones.

Sharks -- They don't stop growing.

As you feed them, They get bigger and bigger,

And eventually, They'll outgrow their home.

You actually want To go there, catch them,

And bring them all the way Out to the island? Yeah.

Whew, dude, that means We need trucks, tubs...

We got to match Salinity, ph.

That's a lot of work, Dude.

The tank shipped to new york Just fine, so we're all set.

Sure. Except for the two sharks That we had to capture

And transport 60 miles To their new home.

Right. Except for that.

[ both laugh ]

So, now we have To catch and wrangle

A 3-foot nurse shark And a 3-foot blacktip.

We'll put them in tubs For transport,

But they can't Stay in there long.

Sharks need to have water Flowing through their gills

In order for them to survive.

My top priority right now Is the safety of these sharks.

[ "Jaws" theme plays ]

Brett: here she comes.

Wayde: heather came with us For the transfer

'cause she was concerned About my well-being.

Heather: you got her.

Good job, wayde! We got her.

Brett: go out right to the truck Right now.

Follow them out Right to the truck.

Watch out for its mouth.

Don't kid yourself -- One bite from a 3-foot shark,

You'll never be able To flip the bird again,

If you know what I'm saying.

Oh! Ohh! Ohh!

Wayde: she's in. She's in.

One shark down, one shark to go.

This one's Gonna be tough.

Wayde: yeah. This one's big.

No, she's out.

You got her. You got her.

Heather: Yay! Good job, wayde!

Oh, oh!

She's good. She's fine. Wrap her up.

Take it easy. Let's go. Come on.

Careful.

Open the back. Open the back.

[ grunts ] Oh [bleep]

She's good. She's good.

Wayde: I am so relieved we caught These sharks pretty quick.

We got them in both tubs. They're doing great.

Now we got to drive out To long island.

We got a long ride.

All right.

Where's he going?

Just follow him.

I am, but this is not The way we came.

Follow him, heather. Look.

I'm going!

You're supposed To stay with him.

His blinker's on a mile ago.

I didn't see his blinker. I know. You're not watching.

I -- really? Stop talking!

The water's splashing back here. Easy, heather.

Look at this -- There's no gas in the car.

You see that?

If we get stuck, I'll kill him.

Hello? Brett?

The gas light came on About 4 miles ago.

The tubs Are temperature-controlled

For the sharks' safety,

But we still need to get them Into their new homes

As quick as possible,

Or we can run Into some real trouble.

Running out of gas? That would be the worst thing

That can happen On this transfer.

Oh, boy.

Hold on for this turn.

[ tires screech ]

We rolled in on fumes.

Let's go, let's go!

All right, Roll her in slow.

I don't want her Banging herself.

I think it just needs to be In one hand up the ladder.

No hand-offs. Just go right in?

I think it needs To go right in.

Heather: careful.

Sharks that size, They're strong.

You're worried About them biting you.

You're worried About hurting them.

It's very nerve-wracking To get this shark in that tank.

She's okay. I don't want you to get hurt Or the shark, so just --

Okay, darian, I'm going right up the ladder.

Move, darian. Man: up the ladder.

Let's go -- up, up, up.

Heather: Wayde! Wayde!

Come on, guys. I got it.

Wayde: I should've Just went straight in.

Psht, I thought I was going over With the shark on me.

There you go. Man: all right.

Soon as she saw the water, Her tail started flapping.

She knew where she was. Heather: yeah.

The second one's a blacktip, So I'm a little nervous 'cause this one doesn't care

If it's in the water Or out of the water -- It wants to bite you.

She's gonna be a tough one. [ laughs ]

If I get bit, I get bit, But I want the shark safe.

[ dramatic music plays ]

Move. Move. Move. Move.

Get my back.

Heather: yay! Good job! [ laughs ]

That shark got in there, Splashed like crazy.

It's all over me.

But you know what? The shark is safe. I'm happy.

There were a lot of moving parts To this operation.

But in the end, we had happy Sharks and happy clients.

Brett: what do you think? Oh, my god.

Holy smoke. This is incredible --

Absolutely incredible.

What more Can you ask for?

[ chuckles ] How about A little less agita?

It's my absolute Dream tank.

You see The blacktip reef shark?

They patrol the reefs.

Over here, we have The nurse shark.

Nurse sharks Are nighttime feeders,

So you won't see A lot of activity with her

During the day,

But we do see A lot of activity at night.

The nurse shark Is so humongous, man.

Are they gonna be able To last in here?

Wayde: she can probably get up To about 6, 7 feet max,

And when she gets A little bigger and too big

And you see her not moving Around too well,

Give us a call -- We'll find a new home for her

Like we just found her A home for you. Sounds great.

Dude, Another shark swap?

Remind me To call in sick that day.

This is more Than I could've ever expected.

This is really, Truly incredible,

And I thank you guys.

Brett: dr. Joe's shark tank Is 18 feet long,

2,000 gallons, over 10 tons.

And we successfully transported

A nurse shark and a blacktip To their new home.

Just another day at atm.

Not only do we travel To build tanks,

We build tanks to travel.

Gonna do a test run. I'm gonna let him drive. Okay.

Why don't you stay in the back And watch the tank?

Oh, geez.

Oh, that thing's Gonna tip over.

[ tires screech ]

Aah!

Yeah! There you go.

[ laughter ]

How much longer To the airport? Five more minutes.

We've been showing you Our trips

Crisscrossing this great country Of ours

And the highs and lows That come

With leaving the atm stamp Wherever we go.

Traveling to build a tank Is nothing

Compared to building a tank To travel.

When a minor-league baseball Team offered us a free bus,

I couldn't pass up a chance To build a mobile aquarium.

The only problem was --

We had to put it On a truck

And drive 2,000 miles Back to the shop.

Keep going. A little more.

Keep it going.

Good job, redneck.

Now we needed to figure out What to do with it.

You guys are doing The whole marine-biology thing

And wanting To do educational programs. Right.

Why not bring it to schools And let the kids come on the bus

And see it And interact with it. I'm driving.

Do we want to teach kids, Educate? Yeah. That's a great idea.

It's like a bookmobile, Only with fish.

Good idea, honey. Thank you. Who's the best? [ laughs ]

I am, but that's okay.

Not this time. [ laughs ]

Heather might have Had the idea,

But it's not like She built the thing.

Neither did you.

All right, guys. Let's Figure out how we're gonna Make this an aquarium.

Brett: how are we Gonna move the bus? I'm gonna drive it.

Let's take a tour Down to the las vegas strip.

Everybody Fasten your seatbelts.

And guess what.

[ engine sputtering ]

It's not starting.

You got to be kidding me.

This wasn't my idea. It was heather's idea.

[ chuckles ] It doesn't start.

Why doesn't that Surprise me?

Redneck. How we doing?

Did you get it Running?

No. Are you serious?

Not yet.

Does it have gas?

It says it has 1/4 tank.

Let's do this --

Let's get a cup of gas. Let's get it in the carburetor.

Let's check it out. Let's see If we can get it started.

Don't overdo it.

Watch it going in there.

Boom! [bleep]

[ laughs ]

You ready? Back up before we blow up.

[ engine cranking ]

Yo, fire!

Oh [bleep]

Whoa. That scared me.

We got a fire, redneck.

Blowing the thing up. [ laughs ]

This ain't no tractor.

[ engine turns over ]

All it needed was gas!

Brett: with the bus Up and running,

We could finally build The actual aquarium.

And during the water test,

I decided to use brett As the crash-test dummy.

Hey. What's going on? Dude, that's lopsided.

All the water's in there now, So we're gonna do a test run.

I'm letting him drive. Why Don't you stay in the back And watch the tank?

Is that cool? Yeah, of course.

You know, I don't' have lids On this thing. So what? Let's have a little fun.

Give it a little gas, robert.

Don't be grandma-ing The gas pedal.

Oh, geez.

Oh, that thing's Gonna tip over.

All right, Give it some gas.

Come right towards me. Come here.

Come on, redneck, Give it some gas.

Don't give it no gas!

There's no lids On this thing!

All right, hit the brakes hard. Hit it hard.

[ tires screech ]

Aah! Aah!

[ laughter ]

Wayde: I think the brakes work.

Was it a joke? You think you're funny?

Really?

Dude, you're wet.

Soaking wet. Real funny.

I'm going home to change.

When I got dried off,

We turned that bus Into one hell of a fish tank.

Which was great.

I was psyched About this plan

To travel all over And educate kids.

And our maiden voyage Started out great.

We want to bring the ocean To you guys here at the school.

We wanted to bring you The first mobile bus aquarium.

Are you guys ready?

Yeah!Yeah! Yeah!Yeah!

Redneck, Bring out the bus.

[ cheering ]

[ engine sputters ]

Redneck: come on.

How are we gonna drive the bus All over the country

When we can't even drive it Across the parking lot?

Come on!

[ engine sputters ]

God [bleep]

Brett: I'm starting to think

We're gonna have some Cranky kids on our hands,

And we are way outnumbered.

Come on. Just one more time!

Come on! [ engine turns over ]

Thatagirl.

I knew You wouldn't let me down.

Good.

[ horn honks ]

[ cheering ]

[ screams ]

Brett: all right, guys.

We're gonna teach you a little Bit about the fish tank here.

Does anybody know How big it is?

50 miles?

50 miles?!50 miles?!

You're close! Darn it.

You can drive The school bus tank.

That's enough right there.

The tank is 12 feet long,

And with over 650 gallons Of water in there,

It weighs over 2 tons.

And it gives us a way to share Our love of fish

With kids Across the country.

And I love my job. Me too.

You know, I love how Our tanks have traveled

From sea to shining sea.

Yeah, there's almost always An atm tank out on the road,

So that means right now, There are some fish in transport

Ready for their new home.

It's pretty cool.

I know. This job makes me feel Like a pioneer.

We get to set up small villages All across america.

Whoa -- Easy, davy crockett.

I think we need to get you Back to the shop.

I like that -- you telling me To get back to the shop.

Let's go.

I'll catch up to you After my power nap.

I'm a little jet-lagged, You know?

Brett: to watch highlights
