How to Get Rich Selling Whale Poop
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 авг 2021
- Whale poop is washing up on beaches in New Zealand, and some of it is worth ten thousands of dollars per kilo. Known as ambergris, the substance is highly valued by perfumers. But such are the rewards, New Zealand’s ambergris scene is cloaked in secrecy and veiled threats.

Too bad all the plastic garbage washin up on every beach in the world ain't worth something.
Date: so what do you do for a living?
Me: I'm a cetacea excreta amasser
Fancy lad! I left some exotic sentient sapien excreta at my neighbors door the other day, and since it was his birthday I had a candle on it well he opens the door and wouldn't you know slams his foot all over it! Ruined the bag it was in to
@@ericcloud1023 it's never about whether what you're doing is smart or not as long as you can make it sound intelligent 👌
I went inside a musk store in Saudi Arabia, they offered me processed poop,, oil. a gram for 1200 dollars. I was asking for the best product they have, seven days later showering twice or three times a day, the smell was still on my body, and it was amaaazing.
me: working, coming to youtube to put some music.
vice: how to get rich selling whale poop.
me: sure why not :)
Imagine explaining this profession on a first date 🤣🤣
Sr. Whale Pooper
I imagine you can get rich so long as the poop is whale made.
Lol
😂🤣😜😎!!!
It’s not really whale poo, and it usually isn’t defecated either, but stays in the intestines sperm whales until it dies before floating to the ocean surface and potentially making it to land. It eventually oxidises solid in the sun and air. How do I know all this? My daughter did a science project for it at primary school.
The fact that we get free documentaries on RUclips by VICE News is truly a gift 👍

Shut up, they don't do it for free
I actually found a small piece of ambergris on a remote California beach when I was a kid. My older brother told me about it. I remember the smell to this day....waxy, musky, piscine. But that was back in the early 1960s, and you could still find glass fishing net floats on the beach too....
I was working cleaning remote beaches on Vancouver island recently and we found 6 glass floats in the three weeks we were working.
This is actually very interesting to watch
Great video, very educational! :)
I love your videos ambergris rocks
Except it's wrong

@@tepezcuintlesalpicon Really?
Dead as hell not old grandpa coming to get educated about ambergris… dude has all synthetics in his perfume collection must suck to have spent that much on a collection and not have anything with real ambergris in it…..
This is the vice I miss and grew up on
how do people comment this exact comment all the time lol. Vice makes a fuckton of videos they aren't all for you
@@Shikoh1 thank you.
@@Shikoh1 i swear... vice fucking doing videos bout literally everything in the world... from afghanistan to whale poop and ppl will keep complaining... lmao
Time to visit my ex’s septic tank
😅😭
Smelling poop on the beach to determine if it's from a whale or a dog (or homeless person if you're in California.)
Went to LA the other day. Disgusting amount of homeless people. Tent city
I thought Pep Guardiola was working for Vice now 🤣🤣🤣👍🏼
Lol..
What I don't understand is why collecting ambergris would be illegal anywhere? How does it threaten the species if you collect it's poop? One would think the opposite actually - if the whale produces a valuable commodity in it's poop, that would make any prospective ambergris hunters and buyers want to ensure that the species thrived, would it not?
It's not like, say, rhino horn, or ivory - it's something the animal discards, and no animals are harmed in collecting it.
Easy mate. Government doesn't make any money when its legal but can make some when its illegal. Fines, tax payer money for "enforcers", and probably a secret rouge group of people collecting and selling it illegally with no competition since almost no one is actively looking for it. Outlawing stuff has always been a money maker that's why the government loves to create laws and get rich off everyone else's loss.
It's like the goose that lays the Golden eggs people just can't help but cut it open and get all the eggs at once.
@@codysmith605 That can really be the case and with times now it's really getting a whole lot worse.
It’s illegal because it’s being collected from a endangered species. I’m pretty sure there were cases where people stalked the whales to collect from them causing them to feel similar to the way paparazzi treat stars. Basically disturbing their natural way of life
Couldn't agree more
Moctezuma was getting the most expensive high on human history lfmaoo
My dad just brought a house in Riverton, just outside of invercagill were his brother lives, you know what I'm gonna be doing when I visit 😀
Good luck! I hope you find some
I remember the Bob’s Burger episode on this!
Same 😂
I'm waiting for the Family Guy episode.
Futurama is where I first found out about it. It was nice seeing it on Bob's Burgers about a decade later
New Zealand is a beautiful place, I would love to visit one day…
Everytime I hear whale poop it just brings me back to the episode of Futurama with the ambergris…
Bobs Burgers also did an episode.
On god it does
Any diehard Bob's Burgers fan already knew what this video would be about
Lol thank you lol only reason I know about this lol
Omg I just shared this to my Bob's Burgers fan club group 🤣
Mickey Tank Bank 🤣
great video. finally vice is back to what they do best
lol, I've always thought ambergris was exclusively whale vomit. Never knew it could also be poop. I've looked for it on beaches since I was a kid, but have yet to find any. Unlucky I guess.
It can be both vomit & poop.The one which is spit out by the sperm whale is poop and the one it digests is turned into poop.
Thanks to Bobs Burgers I already had some insight on this topic.
Me: I'll get a job and make money
Him: I collect whale poo and the rest is history
If whales can understand they would start charging humans for pooping :D
Every time I go to the ocean I dream of finding a piece!!!
Masha allah nice!!!
you could have mine 💩
you can probably find out somewhere if you even have a chance to find it in your area. you can also find amber the same way though, which is why ambergris is named amber grease. on baltic sea beaches for example, people have been collecting amber since forever. nowadays tourists are warned against it because there is white phosphorous from WW2 incendiary bombs that looks and floats somewhat amber-like, and if you put that in your pocket, it will self-ignite as it dries. burning white phosphorous is not something you want in your pocket.
@@norapper6182 😄😄😄😄😄 Made my day. 😄😄😄😄
@@norapper6182 I'm sure yours is worth nothing 🤦🙄
What do you do for a living?
I sell whale poop.
How much do you make? A sh*t tonne of money
Many people like the smell.
I personally would go for agarwood
Train a dog to smell it
Nice to know that they don't even make this video available in New Zealand. I had to use a VPN
Yo! josh? sorry this might be a silly question but just want to be certain. Are you from New Zealand?
Finally a video I’ve been waiting to b made
last thing i watched that even mentioned ambergris is from a futurama episode 😂
Bobs Burgers also did an episode on this.
@@781tunafish ah i don't watch that show lol
For now on when I make a mistake I'm going to say "oh ambergrise!!"
HAHA VERY NICE MY FRIEND

Hi
Weed industry is better at $10 a gram lol
That's cuz it's a lot easier to grow weed than it is to find petrified whale poop ! 🤣
@@jeannietimberger2556 exactly lol 😂
Nobody's is paying 10$ a gram for bulk prices in 2021, I'm in Colorado.
I get an ounce for 100$.
@@Lion-rf8xi in California I get an ounce for 80.. and I grow my own too 🤷
@@jeannietimberger2556 How much for top shelf?
This guy literally heard from experts how it’s pronounced and still keeps saying “amber-gree”
Well I'm about to be swimming behind a whale holding a garbage bag.
Ambergris looks like a rock. They must’ve needed some type of training to spot them
it totally sounds like something you would find by dog nose, not by eye.
Old man spilled the beans
Yo Pep we need u back coaching in Mac City mate
They're so soft spoken like they have to keep it a secret
Finally a topic worth the attention
I'm already booking my flight and I haven't even watched the video 🤣🤣🤣
Nice work, so any link where we can sell it online ?
Why is there no captions for this video
This was very very interesting,thank you💖🐳🐋🐙
I'm bringing my dog to the beach more often 🤣😂
You'll have to train it to smell ambergris
"What to look for, and what to smell for"
Of all things to sell 😂😂
😂 Fr
@@TheBenefactorZ the intro is funny asf 😭😭
@@Glowtroy1 😂😂Fr
I wonder how the larger chunks are formed? Apparently it can reach hundreds of kgs in mass.
Vice needs to report more stories like this
They'll never top Donkey Sex: The Most Bizarre Tradition!
@@davidz2562 Cannibal Warlords of Liberia was pretty good too.
more get rich quick schemes?
I found a huge chunk of something. Looks very very similar to the google pictures..how do I find out what it is?
I love how the auto translate confuses ambergris for hamburger 🍔🙄
Interesting stuff!
I seen the Bob’s burgers episode about this😂
Pep Guardiola doing bits as a journalist
Anybody knows how to sell these? Or where to get it checked that it’s really ambergris
Montazuma smoked it why?
Bob's Burgers made an episode about this. lol.
Man we used to cook up ambergris when we were kids. My daddy was a hillbilly.
Lmao what???
Do you have algae cancer by now
you mean a beachbillie?
Do tell....we need the entire story please🙂 I personally can't wait. Please include the recipe.😊
U lien lol
And here I thought it was the vomit that was a cherished find. Who knew
Hello good day..I found ambergris in the Ocean...7kilos...how to sale it ..can you help mi ..
Hmm... maybe I'll try searching around Stewart Island???
I imagine training a dog to sniff this stuff out would be helpful, I wonder why they are not doing this?
The dog would eat it lol
If that dude scouting the beaches reads this he is getting one.
I think pigs are better but maybe that's the mushrooms thing or roots I don't know never to many get rich videos
yes that we do but the problem to find a legit buyer.. we have ambergris..
Theres a bobs burgers episode about this. And futurama ..rosane describes this ...
It's not poop. It's regurgitated ie, vomit.
thats what i thought, I have never heard of it referred to as whale poop and I think that they are making that up and that that is complete fabrication on a subject that has been known about for probably ten thousand years
Whales don't vomit.
Bob's Burgers. If you know, you know.
2:07 damn! How did he caught Vileplume?😐
VICE makes anything interesting. I'm watching a documentary on whale poop
D.U.I 3:58 😂
Some actual vice content
Dang we need to get dude some ambergris for his museum
What does collecting ambergris has anything with the whales being endangred?
It is not as if you have to kill the animal to get it
If they all die there won’t be any poop to make perfume! How horrifying for humanity! (Satire) but in reality humanity doesn’t care about the loss of a species unless that species is beneficial to us somehow.
Some people do kill them in hopes of cutting them open to find this.
Because it's not legalised in places like the us and stuff, New Zealand is just about the only place you can get it since sperm whales aren't found in many places. New Zealand only has around 4.5 million people or something, pretty much all of whom aren't interested in making a living off of picking animal excrement on the beach. If other places that had ambergris had the sale of it legalised such as australia and the us, of which australia has 25 million people and the us has like 300 and something million, a bunch of people would take lots of measures to find new ways to get it, which could include the illegal farming or poaching of sperm whales.
Hello store owner, im here to sell you a bag of crap
Ha! Shoutout to my grampa! He always said I would amount to pile of sh*t! Well...
Who's laughing NOW, old man??!!

Just like the Bobs Burgers episode
It’s Worth 20,000 in my state
Sorry but Bobs Burgers already showed me this
I hope they thoroughly washed their hands
Recently a man found one inside a dead whale.
Pls helf me loking for buyer anbergris oil...
First 20 seconds I'm like oh he said that huh😩😩😆🤧

Surely you’d be able to train a dog looking for this? 🤔
I have to start going to the beach more often
So from now on when you see people being sneaky with poo you won't flip out. Or maybe you still should.
This guy has some good eyebrows
The way he casually touches the poo like it’s nothing.
We found it a weeks ago, 5 kg from Indonesia ocean. I need buyer. It is grey to white..
You would think an enterprising chemist would figure out how to synthesize the stuff.
Thats the thing about ambergree and oud, it cant be synthesize by chemist, yet.
Well you can have fake synthetic stuff or the real deal: whale digestive system + ocean water + sea air & sun with a percentage of luck mixed in.
They do. It’s called Ambroxan. They extract it from Clary Sage as it’s the same smell responsible for the smell in Ambergris.
I thought it was whale throwup.. not poop... that was worth alot of $$$
Bobs burgers already did it
When we covet whale poo. We forget our own poo.
So the fresh whale poop is not allowed? Only that stoney version
Could’ve swore ambigris was whale vomit… but what do I know 🤷🏾♂️
