I don't watch Spongebob, I was too old for it,
2
but there's like one character who at some point must have gotten some work done or something Who's,
3
is it, Squidward?
4
You're referring to handsome Squidward Handsome Squidward Handsome Squidward!
5
Yes You'll see handsome Squidward,
6
whenever I post anything, you'll see a couple of handsome Squidwards in the comments There!
7
I got like, oh god,
8
I got like, I shrank from that Cause that picture,
9
I see anytime I post anything,
10
that f***ing picture and then there's another one of a handsome squidward like dancing or something.
11
To me, that's like the face of my oppressor is handsome squidward.
12
Hey everyone, it's The Rock.
13
Welcome back to another talk.
14
Today we've got a dilemma unlike any I've seen before.
15
Today's subject is comedian, writer,
16
and actor Kumail Nanjiani, who is under pressure for a phenomenally interesting reason,
17
resulting in an equally fascinating response.
18
Also, we've decided you're gonna be the first person we mock for getting in shape.
19
What?
20
How the fuck did that happen?
21
That's happened to nobody else in the history of civilization.
22
Why me?
23
I had almost my entire life very,
24
very tough relationship with my own appearance since I was a little kid.
25
When I was like five,
26
I was the most gorgeous kid you've ever seen.
27
To the point where people on the street would make jokes about wanting to kidnap me.
28
Shopkeepers were threatened to kidnap me.
29
Wow.
30
That's the ultimate compliment, by the way.
31
Oh, you're kidnappable.
32
Literally all the time, like if I walked in the store and I didn't get a compliment,
33
I'd be like, what is wrong with these people?
34
Wow.
35
I was so gorgeous that life was like terrifying for me.
36
And then it really changed.
37
My neck got really long.
38
I got four Adam's apples.
39
My head got huge.
40
I remember when it dawned on me,
41
I was like, you know,
42
nobody's threatened to kidnap me in a while.
43
And then looking in the mirror being like,
44
oh no. From that point on,
45
I just thought of myself as being very ugly.
46
I wouldn't go to a store because I thought they wouldn't sell me stuff because I was too ugly.
47
It was really, really very intense.
48
Just thinking of how I felt about myself when I was 14 and being able to articulate it now,
49
It kind of breaks my heart for that like 14 year old.
50
At a certain point I was like,
51
and nobody will ever have sex with me.
52
Like I had times in like my teens where I was like,
53
nobody's ever going to have sex with me ever.
54
They used to call me chicken shoulders at school.
55
I don't even think of a chicken having shoulders.
56
Exactly.
57
Oh, I get it.
58
And so I sort of became very obsessed with how I look from the age of like 10.
59
It took years and years to get past that all through my 20s and even through my 30s.
60
That's kind of why comedy was so important to me,
61
where it doesn't matter how you look.
62
I remember I was doing a show early on.
63
I was with a handsome guy and I came back and I gained some way and he made fun of me.
64
And I was like, I can look like anything and work just as much as I work now.
65
You need to look like that to work.
66
What did happen in that episode?
67
I've never even looked it up.
68
Why does he look like that?
69
Okay, so in order to understand Kumail Nanjiani's Handsome Squidward paradigm shift,
70
we have to first understand Squidward's Handsome Squidward paradigm shift.
71
So, we're going back to the source material so that we can understand what it all means.
72
Well, let's just pull it up, shall we?
73
Ah, yes, there we go.
74
Season 5.
75
Yikes.
76
Alright, let's see what's up.
77
Right, so through a total accident...
78
No!
79
By the way!
80
Ah!
81
SpongeBob, you broke my face!
82
Squidward becomes handsome through the blunt force trauma of being hit in the face by this metal door.
83
Wait, that looks an awful lot like...
84
BLAY DOOOOOO!
85
He becomes beautiful.
86
People immediately adore him.
87
Everyone adores him.
88
It is insane how handsome the Squid has become just by getting hit in the face by a f***ing door.
89
I mean, that's awesome.
90
Squid gets what he wants,
91
love and adoration, by way of accidentally becoming Beauty Tribe.
92
And there's no downsides to beauty, right?
93
Customers!
94
Everyone will get the opportunity to touch Squidward!
95
What?
96
Realizing that there's some fucked up downsides to this shit,
97
Squidward realizes he would rather become himself again.
98
Public life ain't all it's cracked up to be!
99
I want my old life back!
100
They try to reverse the paradigm shift by doing the exact same thing that got him there in the first place,
101
hitting him over the face with the metal door.
102
And SpongeBob really gets in there.
103
But it only makes him more handsome!
104
SpongeBob desperately tries to save Squidward from a falling shoe,
105
leading into this beautiful shot of Squidward not dancing,
106
but falling, towards the pillar of the restaurant which he lands into and miraculously reverts to his old self.
107
And so, I find it fascinating
108
that Squidward's handsome Squidward paradigm shift leads him down a road of temporary satisfaction but ultimate yearning for his originality.
109
And, fascinatingly, in contrast, Kumail Nanjiani's handsome Squidward paradigm shift would involve opposites.
110
Getting really buff for a role and people getting upset about it.
111
Was that, like, difficult for you?
112
Or were you just like,
113
I am right, they're being weird.
114
No, it was a f***ing nightmare.
115
To sort of get in this kind of shape and worrying about how I looked again,
116
it was kind of a mindfuck to sort of,
117
it felt like I'd like regressed 10 years back.
118
To then hit my 40s and suddenly have that come back in such a public and strong way,
119
really got at like to what to me genuinely was like deep childhood trauma.
120
There was a picture of me sitting across from Emily at Christmas,
121
and I have like a gingerbread house next to me and I'm just sitting there.
122
For some reason, people didn't like the way my jawline looked or something.
123
People think I've gotten like work done.
124
I have not ever gotten any work done.
125
This is like the deep COVID.
126
I'm full of fear because my wife is in a high risk group.
127
We get super high and we're watching The Crow.
128
And a friend of mine texted me,
129
he's like, hey, I'm sorry about what's happening online.
130
I'm super high.
131
I look, and it's literally thousands of people on Twitter making fun of my face.
132
Did you see it and then put the phone away?
133
No. Or did you really dive in?
134
I dove in.
135
I swam in it.
136
And then eventually, Emily was like,
137
do not be on your phone.
138
And I was like, okay,
139
just tell me if it's still happening.
140
And the next day, I woke up.
141
Yeah, it's still happening.
142
All day, I kept checking in.
143
It's still happening.
144
It was like the number one trending thing.
145
It was like a thing.
146
And then the next day I woke up,
147
she's like, yeah, it's still happening.
148
So it was like two days and then they moved on to the next door.
149
There was right around that time,
150
there was a dad who was like shitty to his kid about beans or something.
151
Do you remember what I'm talking about?
152
Very vaguely.
153
It was like Bean Dad.
154
Bean Dad!
155
Yeah.
156
I owe a debt of gratitude to fucking Bean Dad.
157
Because he moved the conversation on.
158
Everyone then was like, whoa, Bean Dad now.
159
And they moved off of me.
160
The hordes moved off of me.
161
Went after Bean Dad.
162
Bean Dad was like, you know what?
163
I got you, buddy.
164
He jumped in front of the bullets.
165
So that was very, very tough and really like working through it with my therapist a lot.
166
And it's still something that kind of comes up.
167
Comments on whenever I post anything,
168
someone will talk about that I fucked up my face or something.
169
Oh, and I watched Eternals just,
170
you know, research for this video and...
171
All cute, like fun, like whatever,
172
like stupid, like Mardi Gras.
173
The unfortunate thing is that the movie bombed.
174
I mean, like, it didn't bomb,
175
but it didn't make 600 million dollars, so they're canceling it.
176
It could have been its own shitty Avengers and everything.
177
I thought it was gonna be a hit!
178
It turns out it fucking sucks!
179
And now he's just handsome squitted up for a single superhero movie,
180
and nothing else queued up that requires him to be in that shape.
181
The hard thing is, I am jacked,
182
but I don't have the vibe of a jacked guy.
183
Yeah, yeah!
184
The meanest comment I've ever gotten,
185
because it's true, someone was like,
186
Well his voice didn't get abs.
187
I was like, yeah, that is true.
188
I don't have the vibe.
189
I have the vibe of a dork from Pakistan.
190
If like the Marvel shit takes off,
191
because I saw you talking about it,
192
where you're like, this is my life for a decade.
193
Is there a party that's like,
194
that seemed like a lot.
195
Like, are you kind of happy or not in the like...
196
No. Are you fucking kidding me?
197
Oh yeah, by now I've been like four Marvel movies.
198
What a bummer.
199
Oh my God.
200
This guy's movies have made two billion at the box office.
201
Cash money Kumail!
202
Yeah, with my luck that would be the backlash to that too.
203
Like, this guy's movies are making too much money.
204
Fuck that guy.
205
No, because you know, if you do one of those a year,
206
the rest of the year you can do whatever you want.
207
And suddenly, you know, I can make like, True.
208
10 million dollar movies that with my name get made.
209
Right.
210
I was really hoping you'd be like, yes, it's a prison.
211
Oh my god.
212
No, that would have been great.
213
Are you fucking kidding me?
214
Maybe the only guy in just one?
215
Just one for me, thank you.
216
I will never forget that you were like,
217
in a way, it's a blessing in disguise, right?
218
And so fascinatingly, while Squidward became handsome,
219
loved it for a little bit,
220
and then hated it because the love was too much,
221
Kubel got in shape, liked it,
222
and eventually received so much backlash for it that he became confused by it.
223
You know, it was all his intention to work on his self-esteem,
224
his self-image as he's been struggling his whole life,
225
Only for him to get that and be rejected.
226
Oh, he got amped?
227
What a moron!
228
What?!
229
Who changed the rules?
230
Why didn't anybody give me a heads up?
231
Do you know how hard this was? And so...
232
What's a Squidward to do after you paradigm shifted into a handsome life?
233
What's your next move?
234
Well, I believe this last piece of information can be found in digging deeper into not just Kumail's life,
235
but his relationship with Emily,
236
the love of his life.
237
Well, if you don't know the story of how they met,
238
it's been beautifully captured in the couple's breakout screenplay, The Big Sick.
239
What are the long-term impacts of nearly dying?
240
How does it change your personality?
241
I think initially I was very adamant that nothing,
242
I didn't change at all.
243
And that this was just a blip in my life
244
and absolutely nothing had changed and that could not have been further from the truth.
245
I wrote a really horrible essay.
246
It was just literally like,
247
I was in a coma and nothing changed.
248
I'm the exact same person. Who cares? Who cares?
249
I learned nothing.
250
Yeah, and it and that's cool.
251
If you read it you'd be like this woman is going through some shit She is in crisis
252
I'm a therapist I like had a master's degree at practice for years
253
and I still couldn't see that within myself
254
that like oh I'm gonna it's gonna take me a while to kind of process this,
255
but it it's all the most cliche stuff on earth Just gives you a real appreciation for the fact
256
that all of this is temporary and how fleeting everything is
257
and there's very little that scares me now There's very little
258
that could happen to me or you could say to me being rejected for a job,
259
if this movie hadn't done well,
260
any of that stuff doesn't compare to waking up and realizing,
261
oh, I could have died and I didn't even know it and that could have all gone away.
262
So I think I'm definitely less cynical than I used to be.
263
In his own words, Kumail tells us
264
that really the only two things he cares about are his relationship with Emily and his work.
265
I feel like my life is really two things.
266
It's my life with Emily and that really is,
267
you know, I had this epiphany.
268
I was like, that is my reason for being on this earth.
269
Like, getting to know Emily.
270
Yeah, that's like one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
271
Otherwise, it's pointless.
272
It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
273
Keep going.
274
That's not to say that we don't have to work at it.
275
We really, really do and it is work.
276
There's joy in the work,
277
but there is intentional work that we have to do every day.
278
But I realized that what I have with her is a very special thing.
279
That is my purpose for being.
280
The other thing is work.
281
He does it all for love.
282
That's what it's all for everybody.
283
Spoiler alert, cheat code, gotta be the highest value there is.
284
She's the coolest, best person I've ever met.
285
I really believe that.
286
What I love most about her is that the parts of her that she shows me that she doesn't show anybody else.
287
No one would say Emily's closed off, right?
288
She's very emotionally open.
289
However, there is some curation to it.
290
There is some stuff that other people don't get to see of Emily
291
and I'm the only person in the world that gets to see it.
292
I find that to be really magical.
293
She's such a brilliant writer,
294
and I love that I'm the first person in the world that gets to read her writings.
295
So I'll read something she wrote,
296
and I'm like, Emily is so cool.
297
Where's my Emily?
298
But the big sick was successful and it was cute as hell and you know,
299
it makes you want to fall in love and shit fall in love and shit.
300
And to finally bring in that peace to complete the trifecta that's been fought for in a lifelong struggle,
301
love of the self.
302
As someone who's struggled to love themselves their entire life,
303
it feels painfully contradictory that it's so easy to love others and so improbable to love ourselves.
304
You don't even realize the tone with which you're talking to yourself.
305
You know, I didn't even realize it was negative until,
306
you know, therapy, they were like,
307
so how do you say this?
308
You know, you're on set.
309
You didn't do a good job.
310
What do you say to yourself?
311
And I'm like, Oh, heinous shit.
312
Oh, yeah.
313
You don't even realize.
314
It's that fucking Leonardo DiCaprio scene in, um...
315
Once Upon a Time...
316
Once Upon a Time.. when he's in the trailer.
317
He's like, you fucking no good!
318
What the fuck was that?
319
Jesus Christ!
320
Embarrass yourself like that in front of all those goddamn people!
321
You're fucking lying!
322
I practiced them and now it don't look like I goddamn practiced them!
323
You're sitting there like a fucking baboon!
324
Blah-blah-blah-blahdj-dj-dj-dj-dj-dj!
325
It's that.
326
It's that.
327
It's that.
328
It's just my default has always been that.
329
Like, since I can remember.
330
The thing is, real love is not merely immediate adoration.
331
It's not high esteem only at the moments of victory.
332
Real love is truly and deeply wanting the best for someone.
333
To feel joy when they progress and overcome.
334
To feel hurt when they hurt.
335
That's connection.
336
Real love is seeing someone at their worst and still recognizing their inherent value.
337
I'm praying when you see me at my worst,
338
you see worse than me.
339
And so, to love ourselves is not so dissimilar to loving our loved ones.
340
Albeit feeling paradoxical at times,
341
it's wanting the best in progress and overcoming for that person that we are.
342
Let me try.
343
I love Rock, so I want the best for Rock.
344
I love rock, so I want rock to succeed on rock's main quest.
345
Now you try.
346
And now I do actually like myself.
347
It's a recent thing, last few years.
348
And then now I think I have a good relationship with it.
349
When I work out, I feel in the moment,
350
because you're lifting heavy weight,
351
and you kind of need to be there and focus on that.
352
You have to be outside yourself.
353
You have to make sure you're using it properly,
354
otherwise you're going to get hurt.
355
So I get really a lot out of it.
356
My anxiety has been a lot lower.
357
I sleep a lot better since I've been like working out a bunch.
358
So now I'm aware of how things make me feel.
359
That's the biggest thing.
360
I wasn't aware of any of these things.
361
And so, what's a Kumail to do?
362
Well, if Squiddy's answer was to return to how things were,
363
Kumail taking the other path says, Never go back.
364
And now I know all of you are waiting for me to go back to how I was.
365
I want to make you so happy if I go back to how I was.
366
So now I'm stuck in this prison,
367
because I don't want to give you the satisfaction.
368
There's no reason for me to be buff anymore but I am because fuck you.
369
I'll be doing push-ups on my deathbed because fuck you.
370
When I look at cake and want to eat it,
371
I think of how happy it'll make you if I eat it.
372
That gives me the strength to not eat it.
373
Fame's a whole paradigm shifting thing.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
