You say this once every three months, so - Nah, it's quicker than three months.

Yeah, I was giving them better for the doubt.

Oh, I would say once every four weeks.

Recently.

Once every four is a bit tough.

Okay, six weeks.

Six to eight.

The commiserations and, not commiserations, God god yeah that's

when someone dies yeah all right uh we have a special

guest quick psa from um daddy fancy himself guys i'm

so sorry i know there hasn't been a daddy fancy

and probably like streets have been screaming i don't know what the streets say

but i've heard there are rumblings in in said streets cobbled paved things

that people are unhappy that there hasn't been a daddy fancy segment in a

while fair play i do have a tendency of taking a break after i finish a book Which is only fair.

You're a human being too.

And just because you are the deliverer doesn't mean you can't just, you know, take some time off.

But what I will say is I have noticed after every book I finish, the gap is longer and longer.

And it just happens without me even noticing that there's probably been at least four episodes now I've done Daddy Fantasy.

I haven't started reading yet.

That's unacceptable.

I was in bed last night thinking I'm ready to start reading.

So we obviously fly in a few days i can get

some serious reading done reading done okay in the time

that we're away serious reading done yeah um

so guys there isn't one today there's no doubt

if i see today there probably won't be one next week

because we're away yeah um

but from then i would have read a fat chunk of

the next book i am going to go i'm just going

to keep up with the akatar series i'm not going to

go onyx storm like i was okay um i'm going to finish this uh series

and then we'll go back you're on to book Book four, right?

110

127

A man said, I've not been here in the streets, but the cobbled pavement.

128

150

Yeah, and what I didn't realize is that when I saw the trailer and stuff, I obviously thought my man's got pee, he's pulled up to these man in a time where they were struggling,

151

and he's an outside rich Mormon guy who's been like, I'm the new prophet.

152

That's what I thought happened.

153

Little did I know he was part of their community his whole life, and he was a waste man.

154

Yeah.

155

He was a waste man the whole time.

156

And then randomly one day was just like, oh he's just got mad wives bro yeah

157

because that's their old messiah went to pen yeah he went pen

158

and he was like old messiah's a bastard bro yeah he was like

159

162

and then yeah he was he banged bare wives i'm the new messiah i'm the new messiah

163

and then he started marrying 10 year olds

164

and i'm like get this guy i haven't finished it i hope

165

that i hope it finishes with him behind bars should i Yeah, you might as well tell me, does it?

166

He goes to jail.

167

Okay, good.

168

Okay, good.

169

Ten -year -olds, bro.

170

He's nuts, bro.

171

He's nuts.

172

There's a part in there where I can't even repeat what happened.

173

When he was telling the story in the car.

174

Oh, my God.

175

I knew you were going to say that.

176

And then he was like, I was too overwhelmed with emotions.

177

I couldn't cry.

178

And then he was like, oh, no, actually, I did cry.

179

Yeah, I did cry.

180

I did cry.

181

Shut up, bro.

182

Yeah.

183

Shut up.

184

What a disgusting piece of shit.

185

I think obviously this is, what I got from this documentary is twofold.

186

Yes, you see the atrocities that happens in Mormon communities, one.

187

And for two, the dedication and the perseverance of homegirl and her husband being undercover for over a year.

188

After that conversation, I'm not undercover anymore.

189

I have to tell someone.

190

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

191

It's a day.

192

I'm not undercover anymore.

193

Yeah, so obviously I don't know where the point you're up to

194

but they they were undercover for over a year that's insane over a year james i'm not doing

195

that and i'm like wow bro

196

and obviously she was she was mormon in her past she left them blah blah

197

so she understands not understands why this is happening but

198

because she she was also for lack of a better term trafficked in

199

that way um she understands the jeopardy that these are yeah and And what I realized, you know, Mormons who break out of Mormonism are into some freak shit.

200

Not even disexually, but just like, they just do.

201

She was like a snake handler and like, there's no fear.

202

When they leave Mormonism, bro, they're on it.

203

Like, whatever.

204

Bro, she was like a magician's assistant.

205

She was like a TV host.

206

She was a ventriloquist.

207

Bro, she was doing all sorts.

208

They ain't seen stuff like this before.

209

They ain't seen none of it.

210

They just think their whole life has been a lie.

211

So just give me the weirdest shit possible.

212

I'm gonna do it, bro.

213

I'm doing it, bro.

214

I'm racking up this CV.

215

Oh bro, I was watching couples therapy one time.

216

Okay.

217

What a show.

218

And there was a Mormon couple on there.

219

And the woman was going through a madders bro, where long story short, she left the church.

220

Her husband eventually left the church as well, but he didn't leave at the same time that she did.

221

And Ellis, if you haven't seen the show, it's wonderful.

222

Never seen it.

223

It's fantastic um and basically she had so much resentment towards the church

224

that she she she couldn't follow rules period anymore like the the concept of following rules to her was

225

so offensive to her integrity

226

and she just thought it was just like another mormonism bullshit thing

227

so even the concept of monogamy to her she told her

228

husband i can't be monogamous i can't like it just reflects too much of the the bindingness of the church

229

and all this kind of yes i need to be free

230

free free yes against his bad judgment he was like all

231

right cool that's fine i've got obviously they had one mutual

232

friend in it he said that's fine whoever you want just

233

don't him she said bet him immediately don't tell what to do that's dark it was dark bro dark

234

and she held such little

235

accountability for it he was murk yeah i would be he was murked bro

236

and then he still tried to continue the marriage

237

and all this kind of stuff

238

and he was doing he was doing the open relationship stuff

239

and he was just like i don't want to i don't

240

want to i don't like it yeah i don't like it yeah

241

and she was like this is what i need

242

if you want to be around to me this is what i need

243

and he was like i get it bro

244

and i get like your resemblance to the church and the other

245

but i grew up there too and like I don't have as bad feelings as you do.

246

And like, she's basically like, if you talk to anyone from the church, like we're done.

247

And he was like, my family's there.

248

Like my mom is there, my sisters are there, my dad's there, she was like, bro, like they're evil, evil people.

249

Like you can't be involved in them.

250

And then she's on so far on the other end of the spectrum.

251

Understandably so, but it was a struggle to watch.

252

They were going through it, bro.

253

Fucking fantastic.

254

I love couples therapy.

255

Right, that scenario reminds me of another documentary I watched.

256

I think, again, it was another Mormon -esque or Mormon -adjacent community in the arson of nowhere in America.

257

um there was a there's a female preacher

258

which i don't think it was a religious thing i think

259

it was more sort of like a following my cult type situation okay and she was preaching about how to

260

i think how to raise and treat your kids

261

and like live in this community

262

and like um how to be a better wife all these type of things

263

and it got to a stage where if people if

264

if people were thinking like maybe too outside the box you'll

265

say oh you're addicted to porn you're addicted to this you're addicted to

266

that and if you're if

267

if according to her you were addicted to porn the women

268

have the right in the relationship the women have to write

269

to chuck the man out the yard tell them not to see their kids for x amount of time

270

and bro it got

271

so dark the opening scene of this documentary is a kid

272

walking to a a a random house in the middle of a desert i think they're like utah

273

or something knocking on the door saying i've been bound for

274

a couple days call five -oh call the ambulance come get tell him to come get me

275

and then that's how it all unravels yeah was he under

276

punishment uh yes he was under punishment um um he no

277

he was a kid he wasn't he was a kid he

278

was a grown -up no no no it starts off with the kid oh

279

so it's the the whole thing is about that whole um

280

that whole chapter unfolded with um the kid being uh entrapped running away

281

and then that's how this community got discovered because of what this woman was doing to a community.

282

And she was keeping kids in fucking cupboards and shit, whipping them with this and that, bro.

283

And there was one of the wives, one woman in a relationship started to get herself involved with this preacher of a woman and left her husband,

284

all of this, and allowed her to treat kids and her kids as well that way.

285

It was, I can't remember what it's caused.

286

Culture is so crazy.

287

Culture is crazy.

288

And it's always, I can't say it's always in America.

289

That's what's publicized, I guess but yeah it's got

290

so much room it has got

291

so much room um do you what do you think would

292

have to be on offer for you to get swindled into

293

being in a cult like what problem are they solving for you i don't in this day

294

and age they meet my current view okay let's not say your current food heads

295

because i don't have

296

that kind of mindset bro okay not currently had this version

297

of who had do you okay actually let me reframe it not what could they offer you

298

but let's say

299

if you were this kind of person do you think a cult would be attractive to you

300

if you were someone who was chronically alone chronically poor has

301

never really received much love similar to what we talked about

302

yesterday feeling zero purpose in your life like you just feel like

303

if i wasn't here nothing would change then probably yeah especially

304

like you're special i can see a light in you yeah

305

hang on i you're glowing do you know

306

that i can see a light in you has anyone ever told you

307

that before no no no it's the first time this is the first time you're hearing this yeah Listen, my name is Josiah.

308

Nice to meet you, Josiah.

309

I am from a small community in Utah,

310

and we focus on the Josiahites who are descended from Herculean genes.

311

I don't know if you know about this.

312

No, it's the first time hearing about it.

313

Okay, Hercules, son of God.

314

Son of Zeus.

315

Son of Zeus, okay.

316

Half human, half God.

317

they tried to depict it in the Disney movie, but once he became a true God, he emanated this golden aura.

318

And that was to prove that he is a true God, but that aura was always within him.

319

And now as his genes have spread throughout humanity, that has been lost.

320

But I am one of the very few descendants who can see that light in people.

321

And you are meant for incredibly great things.

322

I'm assuming you've been told

323

that your entire life no it's the first time i'm hearing

324

you're joking no i've not been any shown any love any

325

care i'm poor i didn't think there was a way out for me to be honest question

326

do you struggle to sleep sometimes i struggle to sleep a

327

lot of times let me guess do you struggle to sleep

328

because your mind is thinking and thinking and thinking

329

and thinking yes you're right yes do you experience sadness to

330

great great great great deaths it makes it hard for to

331

get out of bed almost every day you don't understand

332

that you're one of the people who are in touch with

333

all the souls of humanity you're feeling the burden of all of humanity's pain

334

would you like to learn of how to deal with

335

that i would i really would do you like sex who doesn't i've not had it in a

336

while but who doesn't the times i did have it i remember we

337

if it's okay with you i don't want to be too

338

full force we really really focus on getting as much herculean

339

dna into the into the world as possible we don't believe in condoms sign me up

340

we need you to have a lot of sex sign me

341

up yeah come with me there is a sign up fee there is a sign up fee okay and we'll need

349

and who's not yeah yeah yeah yeah okay i'll be your

350

number two yeah yes yeah i'll get drapes in there drapes in there bro 100 easily easily oh

351

so would i bro yeah if that was my reality

352

and mentality of course but i think it's very easy for us that aren't in said cultures and aren't in

353

secluded areas to see something like mormonism for example that's documented on socials or um or Netflix or whatever,

354

and think to ourselves, how are these guys

355

so fickle minded in this way to not be able to see the reality of what's happening around them?

356

I haven't had it in a while, it's killing me, sorry.

357

I mean, you said I was like, I haven't had it in a while, but yes.

358

You were tapped, sorry.

359

Yeah.

360

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

361

You tell old, please pull.

362

Sorry, sorry, agreed, agreed, agreed.

363

Yeah.

364

Sorry, go on.

365

Yeah, I think it's easy for us to say, oh, we wouldn't be trapped by this preacher

366

or we wouldn't follow the rules of this and that because we can see the bullshit.

367

We can see the bullshit because we've been exposed to so much.

368

Whereas if I was picked up, jumped into Mormonism from the age of four, this is all I know.

369

Everyone, all the kids around here are my brothers and sisters.

370

Yeah, 100, bro.

371

None of us wear makeup.

372

None of us get our haircuts.

373

We're all wearing the same beige outfit.

374

Yeah, bro.

375

And it's like, this is my life.

376

This is what you do.

377

You don't even think about it.

378

You don't even think about it.

379

There's no reason.

380

There's no reason to.

381

Just like I don't spend my day thinking about aliens because why would I?

382

Why would I?

383

I'm not going past this corner shop because this is the furthest I can go.

384

This is all I know.

385

This is like the, have you seen The Village?

386

M. Night Shyamalan movie?

387

I don't think so.

388

Pull it up, please.

389

Ellis, have you seen it?

390

I've heard of it.

391

I've never seen it.

392

It's a little bit old now.

393

And it is basically, it is basically this, where it's, I got shat on.

394

A lot of M.

395

Night stuff does.

396

Yeah.

397

It really does.

398

I'll never forgive him for Avatar.

399

I don't think anyone will.

400

No, I'll never forgive him.

401

He's done one good thing.

402

Didn't he do The Night Of?

403

What am I cap in?

404

Oh, maybe.

405

He's done a few good things.

406

If he did The Night Of, that's awesome.

407

He did The Night Of.

408

I'm sure he did.

409

No, he didn't.

410

No, he didn't.

411

I'll take it back.

412

No, but what he did do, he did Unbreakable.

413

That's good.

414

Oh, that's that.

415

The trilogy.

416

Yeah, and he would have, which I'm assuming he would have also done

417

Split and stuff yeah yeah that's good

418

so i like those movies i don't have i seen unbreakable

419

i think i have that's great i don't oh uh no

420

i've seen splitting glass i don't think i've seen a break

421

oh breakable is actually my favorite out of all of them oh fair enough are these

422

and like oh he's done the sixth sense bro okay i've also not seen

423

that but we've had that discussion signs is good trap is terrible i've seen him a horrendous

424

fucking horrendous movie i'll say the worst thing i've ever seen

425

yeah he has he has a niche clearly yeah he does

426

okay okay okay he's got some bangers anyway back to your

427

point back to my point the village is basically um a world in

428

which this is literally it where it's an olden day like

429

really really really olden day uh thing where these lot grow up in this village

430

and they're surrounded by a forest

431

and they're taught like there are monsters in this forest do

432

not go into this forest no one leaves this village if you go into the forest you die long story short

433

and then this girl ends up going out into the forest um sees the monsters

434

and all this kind of stuff escapes the monsters long story spoiler coming it's 50 years old

435

or whatever um long story short the village is just a cult

436

and they're actually living in like 2005

437

when they these might look like they were living in the 1800s

438

and they're actually living in like they've had no electricity there

439

no like nothing like they actually live like back back back

440

back back back in the day okay she comes to find out

441

that bro everything's alive once you get to the other side

442

of this forest bro there's cars bopping by like i don't think you know

443

that would do to me i don't think you know what

444

that would do to me bro i would scream yeah i

445

feel like where am i imagine like now going through a forest

446

and then finding out on the other side of the forest it's literally the year 4 000.

447

oh my god no people are dying around no simulation yeah

448

i'll run straight back to in the forest facts bro i have no business i wouldn't even tell anyone

449

because they'll kill me

450

451

i'll keep

452

that i'll i'll be on my depo before i let it

453

spill there's no way i would run straight back to the comfort yeah the comfort of the village yeah

454

and that's what happens as well a lot of people

455

that leave mormonism they they end up going back as well yeah because over stimulated over stimulate when they get to reality.

456

They just don't know how to navigate themselves.

457

Yeah, but the bad thing is, it's hard to forget.

458

It's hard to forget what you learn.

459

And then buy back into the mystery that these man veil in front of you.

460

It's tough.

461

But yeah, the Villages, I hated the ending, but the film was good.

462

Fair enough.

463

Right, question of the week?

464

Question of the week.

465

This week's question of the week was, what's the worst thing you've done for love?

466

I consoled her while she was crying about the guy she actually liked.

467

That's that friend zone territory where it's just like, fuck, I'm gonna wait my turn.

468

I'm gonna wait my turn.

469

I'm gonna wait my turn.

470

Thank God I've never been in that situation.

471

I haven't, I haven't.

472

You haven't, you haven't.

473

I told you year eight.

474

It's always a childhood thing.

475

Yeah, I'm not as a grown man yeah yeah yeah

476

but yeah yeah um yeah one thing in my year paying

477

this thing is in school she knows who she is she

478

broke up with uh a guy who was in my class

479

his name was jay he was punching he dumped her yeah

480

and then as he can i think my time's i think my time's up

481

because i remember she asked me for 50p the week before i remember this conversation

482

and i was like there's a reason she's asked me

483

because she doesn't feel comfortable to ask anyone else yeah delulu delulu bro

484

and i remember i won my race on sports day um i won my race on sports day

485

also the week before

486

and i went straight over to her she was like i can't believe you were

487

that fast i was like this is this is right at

488

this point yeah yeah yeah he dumped her she was on the market

489

and she was like and then remember she said you would never dump me would you i was like I was like, fuck no. Fuck, I genuinely believed it.

490

Fuck no. And she was like, that's why you're such a good friend.

491

And we have the same birthday and she was like, twins.

492

I think she gave me a pinky, twins.

493

I was like, twins, twins, twins, twins, twins, twins.

494

Get off me, twins, twins, twins, twins, twins.

495

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

496

I'm so sorry, bro.

497

I'm so sorry.

498

I know it was the eight, but I'm so sorry you had to go through that.

499

That's painful.

500

It was painful.

501

You still remember it, that's painful, bro.

502

Yeah.

503

It's painful.

504

Yeah, it's big bro.

505

Oh, it's butters, man.

506

But I don't know why I still remember it, but fucking hell.

507

I was like, oh, I'm washed.

508

Do you know how butters you have to be to be set up like that?

509

Yeah.

510

And then just cascade it down.

511

Yeah.

512

I could never play a thing like that in year eight.

513

I don't have the balls or the even like the know -how.

514

To be fair, one girl, I felt so bad.

515

This is also in year eight.

516

I felt so bad

517

that I pressured a girl to tell me a crush just for her to tell me it was me.

518

And I was like, nah, it was on MSN.

519

I was chatting to one thing and she was like, I can't remember, I was like, do you fancy anyone?

520

She was like, yeah, just one person.

521

I was like, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me.

522

She's like, no, I'm not telling you, I'm telling you.

523

I was like, oh, shut up, man, tell me, tell me.

524

Stop being stupid, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me.

525

She was like, fine, I'll tell you.

526

I was like, who is it, who is it, who is it?

527

I promise I won't tell.

528

She was like, it's you.

529

I was like, oh, I drink it.

530

I was like, oh, that's, I can't remember what I said.

531

That's Pete.

532

Yeah.

533

And then she was like, I don't know you have answered me, so you don't have to say anything.

534

Oh, man.

535

It was fucked.

536

I would just act.

537

Conversation closed.

538

Yeah, I'm offline.

539

I'm offline, bro.

540

I'm offline.

541

Quickly changed my status.

542

I'm still talking to my brethren, still talking to this other one.

543

Yeah, no, bro.

544

I was, I hated that.

545

Dark days.

546

I was thinking, what's wrong with you, James?

547

Ignorance is bliss, bro.

548

Shut up.

549

Yeah, facts.

550

Right.

551

What's the worst thing you've done for love?

552

I let her grab my ass every time we hugged.

553

Let her, you know.

554

That frustrates me so much.

555

Do you think you'll ever...

556

When you are married, deep into marriage, if that's just what she wants to do, do you think after years and years, you could let her just do it?

557

Every time you hug, she squeezes your ass.

558

No, I don't think so.

559

Really?

560

I don't think so, bro okay not squeezes but just cups every time most times

561

okay especially once her hands to be okay is there a

562

point where i feel like i would get used to it

563

yes is there a point where i feel like my anger related issues towards

564

that situation would subside yes yeah would i i think it was one of those ones where i'd overall have to um

565

it was like it's like the conversation we're having in the

566

office earlier i'm doing something to make someone else happy yeah

567

but it makes you miserable it makes me miserable

568

but over time it won't make me miserable anymore i feel like

569

that would be such a slow journey slow journey until i get to a point

570

so yeah ultimately i guess the answer is yes do you

571

think it would set you back once you get to the

572

point it's like okay this is just what happens yeah do you think it would set you back

573

in the times where we are all hanging out

574

and then we see her grab your ass in public

575

and we ridicule you for it yeah that that i won't allow if you're doing this sustainer that i won't allow

576

fair i can't allow

577

that yeah right all right next up what's the worst thing

578

you've done for love i lied to my current boyfriend

579

that i was going on a family holiday to spain but I flew out to China to see my ex.

580

China?

581

Yeah, bro.

582

Yeah, that's crazy.

583

That's just crazy.

584

That's just crazy.

585

Regardless of where your country of origin is from, where you're flying from.

586

You could be flying from Japan.

587

Going to China is a piss take.

588

Family holiday in Spain.

589

I went to China to see my ex.

590

China, bro.

591

Yeah, bro.

592

She didn't care.

593

She didn't give a fuck, bro.

594

She didn't care.

595

Hindsight's 20 -20.

596

I want him back.

597

I want him back.

598

I need to be dicked properly.

599

There's no way a John flies to China to see you without you giving her the time of her life.

600

That would be a weekend.

601

Oh, bro.

602

I wouldn't be able to let her leave because I don't know anyone here.

603

Yeah.

604

Also true.

605

I don't speak fucking Mandarin.

606

Also fucking true.

607

I'd have Stockholm syndrome, bro.

608

I would need her with me all the time.

609

All right.

610

What's the worst thing you've done for love?

611

This is fucking ridiculous.

612

I reached out to her favorite artist management team for him to come and sing her a song to take me back.

613

No. Bro.

614

No, bro.

615

Do you know how dark a hole you need to be in to start thinking of that?

616

Because we have management, I can imagine Megan coming to us and be like, listen, I've just received this email.

617

And we would just make jest of the situation.

618

We wouldn't stop laughing about it wouldn't stop laughing about it

619

620

679

That's the worst thing ever.

680

Bless her.

681

Next, travel to another city where my girl broke up with me on the phone

682

because I wanted her to say it to my face.

683

Oh, idiot.

684

Matter of fact, she ain't gonna say it to my face.

685

Yeah, when she sees me, she can't go through with it.

686

She's not gonna be able to go through with it.

687

Fuck.

688

Fuck.

689

I'm called all the way up there and she's like, I've told you I'm on the phone, this is over.

690

Why would you waste your time?

691

692

No, you don't.

693

Yes, I do.

694

No, you don't.

695

696

He got lots off on the phone.

697

She charged it on the phone.

698

699

We're not ending like this.

700

Pulled up to her uni in Sheffield.

701

Next man was there.

702

Next man was there, of course he was.

703

What'd he do?

704

She didn't let him in, he was outside.

705

Okay, that's best case scenario.

706

Yeah, that is best case scenario.

707

That's best case scenario, because people have gone to jail.

708

Yeah.

709

Or hospital, or both.

710

Bro, I had that happen to me on some Dracula thing in first year of years.

711

What does that even mean?

712

You'll find out.

713

You'll find out.

714

I heard that happen to me where Jess in first year, locked off her man.

715

Donnie pulled up.

716

I get a knock on my bedroom door.

717

It's one of the other girls.

718

She said, look, Jess just broke over with her man.

719

He's in the vicinity.

720

Do not let him in.

721

If you hear the door knock, don't let him in.

722

I was like, yeah, bet, bet, bet, bet.

766

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

767

Yeah, yeah.

768

Yeah, yeah.

769

770

I should let him in because if I don't let him in.

771

He's just gonna keep knocking on my fucking window.

772

And also if he does get in, he's coming straight to my door, but I'm like, what the fuck did you let me in?

773

Now I've got a fight in the hallway.

774

Yeah, it's all politics, bro.

775

It's all politics on a Dracula ticket.

776

So let me in, let me in.

777

So yeah, it'll make sense.

778

I was scared for my life.

779

Oh yeah, I'll be scared too.

780

I would be scared too.

781

That's jarring.

782

Speaking of random again, sorry guys.

783

Did I ever tell you about, I don't think I ever told you because I wasn't secure enough with you at this point.

784

Okay.

785

Did I ever tell you when I feared for my life in my ex's yard in uni?

786

Couple were playing with me in De Montfort back in the day, right?

787

You were playing with me.

788

Go on.

789

Bro, one time, yeah.

790

This is so crazy.

791

One time, yeah, obviously I had, my ex was at the door for the day.

792

So I pulled up to less than one afternoon.

793

We're chilling, chilling, chilling in our room.

794

I'm hearing bad giggles in the hallway.

795

Was it like a callous court type situation?

796

Yeah, it's like, yeah, similar to the uni halls.

797

I'm hearing bad giggles in the kitchen and then the hallway.

798

And one girl, I hear one guy ask one girl, is she in, is she in?

799

Talk about my girl, isn't it?

800

Is she in, is she in?

801

And she's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

802

But her man's a, leave it, leave it.

803

He's like, cool.

804

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, on her door.

805

My girl's like, don't go out there.

806

Don't go out there.

807

I was like, all right, say this.

808

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

809

She's like, leave it, trust me, they're dickers, they're dickers, just leave it, leave it.

810

I was like, now, what the fuck?

811

They're taking the bitch.

812

They know I'm in here, because I just heard them say.

813

She was like, I don't ignore them, ignore them.

814

I said, one more time, I started to go out there.

815

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

816

Fuck this.

817

Open the door.

818

Six of them man were there.

819

Six of them man were there.

820

I was like, who's knocking on the door?

821

Why are you knocking on the door?

822

They said, get your girl.

823

We want to chat to her.

824

I was like, I'd say you know I froze.

825

I would freeze too.

826

That's a kid.

827

My mind was doing such gymnastics thinking, what am I going to do?

828

What am I going to do?

829

Get your girl.

830

Get your girl. Because...

831

I was a kid.

832

Right, right, right, right, right, right.

833

Right.

834

Cause I can't, I physically can't be like shut the fuck up.

835

I can't.

836

I can't just close the door.

837

I can't just like boom.

838

Cause he put his phone there.

839

It's a long day.

840

It's a long day.

841

It's a long day.

842

I can't sit around and be like babe.

843

Yeah.

844

That's definitely not an option.

845

Option number three is not an option.

846

I'd rather die than option three.

847

I'd rather die than option three.

848

Babe they're looking for you.

849

Yeah, they're asking for you.

850

Are you in?

851

I don't know.

852

Bro, bro, I think the best I got away with was like, bro, you man, leave it.

853

Like, just leave the door, please.

854

And I had to add the please on, leave the door, please.

855

And I remember closing the door, shaking, thinking if they knock this door one more time, what am I gonna do?

856

What am I gonna do?

857

Fuck.

858

Absolutely nothing.

859

Fuck.

860

Yeah, you've never told me that.

861

I couldn't tell you.

862

I remember the train on the way home the next day, I was thinking I need to get out of this relationship.

863

because i can't be put through that again i can't go through

864

that again i can't jeopardize my safety yeah of all places

865

yeah my mom's not even gonna know where my body's at

866

what the fuck am i doing here my carcass is scattered in leicester bro she's not gonna

867

know there'll be nothing to identify yeah there'll just be another corpse on the street There'll be nothing to identify.

868

Bro, I was terrified.

869

I said it was six of them.

870

Six of them, I couldn't believe it.

871

Nah.

872

20 years later, I don't know what I'd do there.

873

I don't know what I would do if it happened today.

874

Nah, six of them.

875

Six of them, man, what the fuck?

876

I don't know what I'm like.

877

What the fuck?

878

And to be fair, I think if it happened now, I would have the confidence to break it down.

879

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

880

I'd be like, why is there six of you, man here?

881

Which one was knocking the door?

882

Just you, I just wanna know which one it was.

883

What do you want?

884

886

Go get your girl.

893

Okay, question.

894

You might not remember, but you also might.

895

How long after that situation did the relationship end?

896

A while, but that night I blamed it all on her.

897

I would too.

898

I blame, I was like, how did they know your name?

899

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
