(dramatic drum slamming)
(mysterious music)
(door creaking)
(rain pattering)
- [Narrator] Mystery.
(pterodactyl screaming)
(grass crunching)
- We need to solve a mystery.
(computer mouse clicking)
So, here's the mystery.
We hit a million subs, which was awesome.
We ordered the gold play button.
I know they take a while to get here.
I just followed up with it to see like hey,
I wonder if it's close.
I read that notification.
It's already been delivered in May.
It's June.
I don't know where the gold play button is.
We gotta do detective work.
So, here's the plan.
Remember we got that camera system installed
throughout the house like a couple months ago.
There's a front door camera.
Any time it sees motion, it records.
We can see if a package was delivered at that time,
and then if it was, did somebody take it,
and then if someone did, I don't know.
We've got to figure it out.
It's an investigation.
(mysterious music)
Let's go.
Aww, she looks so cute when she's sleeping.
K, back to the investigation.
(mysterious music)
Alright, so package was delivered May 3rd at 5:25.
That clip was May 3rd at 5:32,
seven minutes after package delivery,
Jenny checked the front doorstep,
but review the clip.
That box she grabbed was not the size
of like a gold play button.
We're talking like it's a big box.
That box she picked up seven minutes
after they dropped it off was not a giant gold play button.
We're now gonna check out all the clips that happened
the day before, just in case they maybe
delivered it early, but wrote like a day later
that it was finally delivered.
(mysterious music)
Small box, not the size of a play button.
That's me.
I didn't see anything the day before.
This was the day before the YouTube event
in New York City, and the day it delivered on
I was in New York at the YouTube event,
but Jenny was home.
(crickets chirping)
No idea what I was doing there.
May 3rd, delivery date of the package,
and that is the package that was delivered the day before.
So, he delivers that package, and the next day
Jenny sees that package.
There's no tracking a big package being delivered.
Hmm, let's go consult a professional.
(wood knocking)
(door creaking)
You wore that shirt yesterday.
I refuse to film with you until you put on a new shirt.
Are you building another computer?
Two computers?
I feel computers are like your family members.
You're just like building friends.
If you can't make friends, you build 'em guys.
Alright, we've got a problem, and you're probably
one of the smartest, most remembering
detective people I know.
- That's true.
- Hold on, I think it's best we sit down for this one.
(Chicken sighing)
We have a mystery.
Remember how my gold play button was supposed to
ship out like a long time ago.
- Oh yeah.
- Mhmm.
- What happened to that?
- It got delivered to our house.
Our house, in yesterday's video
you guys found out we live together.
Guess when it got delivered?
May 3rd.
That's a month ago.
- What has happening around there?
- May 3rd.
I just went and looked back at my calendar, and everything.
May 2nd I was here.
May 3rd I was in New York at the YouTube creator event,
but Jenny was here.
I never heard anything about it getting delivered.
What do we do?
This was all this morning, before I started filming.
I was just trying to figure this stuff out,
and I was like, you know what?
Sounds like we've got a mystery vlog on our hands.
So, I started the vlog.
We have a camera at our front door.
I looked at May 3rd.
On the UPS website it says 5:25.
Guess what?
5:32 Jenny was on a walk with Adley in her stroller,
walks up to the front door.
There's one little package about yay big.
Picks it up, looks at it, probably recognizes it's for you,
like a computer part or something,
sets it back down, gets Adley, walks away.
Eight minutes after the giant play button box
was supposed to be delivered.
- That's really weird.
- Maybe it got delivered earlier in the day,
or the day before, or something like that.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Or maybe the timestamp is just like
when they reported it as being delivered.
I looked at the day before.
There are four recordings.
The camera records whenever it detects motion,
even at night. - Yep, yep, yep.
- I ran up to the door, did something weird,
came out of the house, filmed something
at the front porch, probably took a picture of something,
but apart from those two, there is one delivery guy
who comes to the door with the exact same package
that Jenny saw the next day.
May 4th, zero door activity.
- How big was the package?
- May 5th.
I don't know, but we're talking like a gold play button.
Like, just go watch an unboxing video, you know?
Like, what's inside 'em box.
There's like.
- They're pretty massive.
- Huge, right?
- And they're like, you know?
- I mean, you would know. - Unless they just
started shipping the actual emblem thing on it's own.
No, no frame.
- Big companies like UPS can't lie.
They obviously delivered it.
- Yeah.
- I was really thinking someone saw it off our front porch,
giant box on front porch, but guess what?
- It would have been recorded.
- We never saw it get delivered,
and after it claimed to be delivered,
Jenny checked the porch, and there was nothing there.
I mean, we check our front porch once or twice a day,
and there's no signs of hooligans
in any time after that.
So, we are in a weird situation here
where I don't think the play button was delivered.
- Check the address.
We're checking the address.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, check the address or whatever.
- [Shaun] Address check.
I filmed this earlier.
Proof of delivery, you saw it,
but I probably blurred the address or something.
- UPS ground, May 3rd, at 5:25.
- [Shaun] 5:25.
- Clearfield.
- [Shaun] Yeah.
- Left at front door.
We definitely would have seen something that big.
- [Shaun] Hold on.
- It doesn't make any sense.
- (sighing) So this is where we're at.
I'm out of ideas.
My best idea was just ask you.
Next step, there is a tracking number.
I'm going to start searching around
and see if there's anything to look at there,
and then the little box that actually was
delivered at that time.
- Go ahead and find out what that was.
- Go ahead and see what, see what we did there.
That's all we've got so far.
We've got to figure this out.
B R B.
(Chicken sighing)
Alright we're calling the UPS store.
Hi, I have a question.
I had an important package that said it was
delivered last month.
We never received it.
Would it possibly be at your store location,
or what would be the next steps in this investigation?
(mystery music)
I do, let me get it for ya.
It is one, as in someone's age, Z as in zebra,
A as in alphabet, zero as in like a baby
before it has an age, Y as in YouTube,
Three as in the amigos, did you get that?
Okay, thanks.
Yeah, when I look at my camera systems,
which track motion, it never shows up being delivered,
and it doesn't show me the delivery makes me
concerned that it didn't make it to my doorstep.
We'll continue the investigation.
(mystery music)
Let me get that number from you.
- [Woman Announcer] Thank you for calling UPS.
- Another with call with official UPS.
- [Woman Announcer] This call may be monitored
or recorded for quality assurance purposes.
(speaking in Spanish)
- Nope. Just give me an operator, hit zero.
Every time just hit zero.
Don't do the like robot menu thing.
- [Woman Announcer] I can connect you to an agent,
but you'll need a tracking number.
- There we go.
- [Woman Announcer] Available from the shipper,
or an info notice number.
(phone ringing)
- I hate robots that answer phones.
- [Woman Announcer] UPS would like your feedback.
- So far the feedback sucks.
I feel like robots are an important part of the future,
but robots shouldn't be allowed to use phones.
Okay, oh, alright.
So I guess this is the part where we start
a time lapse with the timer up here,
and see how long it takes for them to answer my call
on a casual weekday at two o'clock in the afternoon.
(mysterious music)
(phone ringing)
Hey, I think it's ringing.
Hi Dani, I just have a quick question for you.
Actually, it's not a quick question.
It's an investigation.
(mysterious music)
I have a tracking number that says
the package was delivered to my front door
last month, and the package never arrived.
When I called my local UPS store
she said to call the main UPS and see
if we could figure out maybe it had been scanned,
or left anywhere, or start a package investigation.
(mysterious music)
What do you know about that?
Yep, it's one, like the age of a human
who's only been alive for a year,
Z as in zebra, A as in alphabet soup,
zero as in like your age before you're born.
Okay, so the problem is we have cameras at our front door,
and on May 3rd, the package was never delivered.
Yeah, I would love that, thank you.
We're back on hold.
(mysterious music)
Yeah?
So, you're transferring me to another department?
Okay, thank you.
(mysterious music)
Can anyone make their eyes go like left and right.
I feel like that'd be really cool,
like if you could like focus on
something over here, and over.
So, you're gonna do an investigation?
(mysterious music)
Can I get the investigation started
(mysterious music) and processed from my end,
or does the person who shipped the package
have to start the investigation?
(mysterious music)
I can start it?
But, if they haven't uploaded that information,
I can't start the investigation?
(mysterious music)
So, I need to contact the person who shipped the box,
whoever that is, Mr. YouTube, and ask him
to update the shipping information on their end,
and then once I figure out how to do that,
I can start the investigation.
(mysterious music)
Alright, thank you.
That was super helpful.
This should be a really easy and quick process.
Have a great day, bye.
Hello, this is Shaun.
- [Michael] Shaun, it's Michael Lindenmeyer with TEDx.
- What's up dog?
- [Michael] How are you?
- Giving a TED Talk next week.
I just let everyone know that I'm gonna be
giving a TED Talk next week.
So, that's cool.
- [Michael] I meant do you want to chat
in the next day or so?
- Yeah, um, one second.
Hi, how was your nap?
(Adley cooing)
Oh, was it so good?
You look comfy.
Do you not even want to move?
Jenny had to go to work for a little bit.
So, we've been hanging out with Adley today.
(baby crying)
(mysterious music)
Mm, is that yummy?
Wait, before we start eating, investigation.
(mysterious music)
Did you ever, ever receive a giant package
from YouTube that had a golden play button in it?
- No.
- Promise?
- Promise.
- See, a box that size, though,
like a really big box, it would have been
the day I left for New York City
for the YouTube event.
It was May 3rd.
(Adley screaming)
- Never.
- You sure?
Alright, would you be willing to take
a lie detector test?
- Yes.
- That might be part of the investigation.
I'm undecided.
(Jenny laughing)
Did you know where it is?
(Adley cooing)
Adley, do you know where it is?
- Mm.
- [Shaun] Oh, is that a chicken nugget?
Update, remember we had to figure out
what that little package was.
Jenny figured it out.
- To my phone.
- It was your cell phone case, look.
- And I got a mat.
- Cell phone case delivered May 2nd.
That's the, wait, why'd you leave it
on the porch then?
Why didn't you take it?
- 'Cause we were going on a walk.
I got it later.
- But it didn't show you picking it up later that day.
- But, if you open the door from the inside of the house,
it won't detect a body out there,
so it won't start recording.
- Oh.
- So, I probably opened the door, grabbed my package.
- 'Cause you set it like right by the door,
and you just opened the door from
the inside and grabbed it.
It all makes sense.
Every mystery's been solved, except for the one
of where is our gold play button?
I'm gonna keep doing investigations and such,
and we will let you know what happens, huh?
That's our gold play button.
Adley worked hard for that.
She's been cute in so many vlogs, huh?
(Adley jabbering)
- [Shaun] Yeah.
- Find Shonduras's gold play button.
- Yeah, hashtag find out play button.
Okay, I'm gonna eat.
Then I got to go to space station.
We're going on a surprise trip tomorrow.
Should we tell 'em, or should it be a surprise?
- Surprise.
- [Shaun] K, surprise.
Adley, you ready for the surprise trip?
Yeah?
Surprise trip tomorrow.
See you there.
Hey, look at this van full of kids.
Hello everybody. (children laughing)
There's so many high fives to go around.
- We have a note for you.
- [Shaun] Oh a note?
Let me see this note?
It's this side?
Dear Shonduras, we're your biggest fans from Colorado!
You guys are in from Colorado?
- We're visiting our grandma.
- Oh, it's cool.
That's pretty fun.
I sure will, and you guys are in the vlog.
(children cheering)
Yeah.
It's good to meet you guys.
- Good to meet you.
- Bye.
(lock clicking)
Dinner time with Brandon.
- Woohoo.
- I'm pretty sure the last time I vlogged
we were eating lunch, and now we're eating dinner.
Hi, hey.

What are you doing?
Are you dancing?
♫ Shake, shake, shake.
I'm gonna get you.
(Adley laughing)
Adley's funny.

Guess what we're eatings?
Trucks.
There's this parking lot down the road,
and all these food trucks come and meet,
food truck, food, yeah.
I love how Adley's just helping me vlog right now.
And Grandma's here.
Hi Grandma.
- They're so good.

You want grilled cheese?
We got Adley the kiddie cheeser,
and I'm gonna get the pizza cheeser.
Oh.

Oh, cheers, cheers.
Good job.
Hi, Adley made some new friends.
Adley are those your friends?
Toss me the Taco Bell gift cards.
Today is all about food, 'cause that's all
we've talked about for the past like three
minutes of the vlog.
So, hundred days of giveaways.
Three, not one, but three winners of Taco Bell gift card,
'Cause I love Taco Bell.
I mean, food trucks are good,
but they're good like once a month.
Taco Bell, that's like good every night.
Enjoy your gift cards kids.
See you tomorrow, bye.
(mysterious music)
Oh not too bad.
- Ugh.
It's kinda bad lighting down here.
