1
The man is dropped in the arena with one full -sized gorilla.
El hombre es soltado en la arena junto a un gorila de tamaño natural.
2
But before they fight, we have to go over some rules.
Pero antes de que peleen, tenemos que repasar algunas reglas.
3
You see, every time the man intentionally hits the gorilla after taking the damage, it decreases in size by 30%.
Verás, cada vez que el hombre golpea intencionalmente al gorila después de recibir el daño, este disminuye de tamaño en un 30%.
4
But there's a catch.
5
Every hit also doubles its speed.
6
Now, at first, the man thinks it's simple.
7
All he needs to do is land a few careful hits, which will make it small, at which point he can squash it like a bug.
8
But as he steps in to do so, the gorilla clobbers him so hard, his body ragdolls across the sand, and he's killed instantly.
9
In round two, the man scoops up sand from the floor.
10
Then he rushes in, before throwing it straight in the gorilla's face, giving him just enough time to land hit after hit.
11
which shrinks the gorilla down until he's only about 8 inches tall.
12
Now, this is small enough to squash, but the man forgot that the gorilla's speed doubles with each hit.
13
Meaning, at this size, he can basically just use himself as a bullet, which would just kill them both.
14
In the last round, the man gets more sand, but also takes off his shirt.
15
He throws the sand, lands two careful hits, then quickly slips the shirt over the gorilla like a pillowcase before landing another hit.
16
With its vision gone, all that speed turns into frantic, unfocused movement, which is when the man goes to add another hit.
17
But even blindfolded, the gorilla can still sense him.
18
Now the man's hand is broken, which is a problem.
19
He reaches behind him with his good hand, pulls out his phone, and opens ZocDoc, the sponsor of this video.
20
He types in his condition while the gorilla is still shooting around violently.
21
ZocDoc immediately brings up urgent care locations nearby.
22
And because he already added his insurance, he can quickly see which ones are in network.
23
But the gorilla seems like it's about to escape, so the man moves quick.
24
He reads reviews, compares locations, and finds an appointment available in just 30 minutes.
25
Now, one of the gorilla's arms punches through the shirt, then another.
26
The man quickly selects the appointment and books the entire thing in less than 30 seconds.
27
So if you've been putting off booking an appointment, well, go to ZocDoc .com to get it done.
28
The man adds one more hit, which shrinks it to about a foot tall.
29
Insanely fast, but still stuck in that shirt.
30
After chasing it around, the man finally lines up his moment for a quick stomp.
31
The gorilla is squashed before it has time to shrink again, meaning the man finally takes the win.
32
He put the pizza in the oven when the phone started ringing.
33
It was an angry customer complaining that their pizza was delivered cold.
34
But there was a problem.
35
They didn't deliver.
36
You see, he wanted his restaurant to be known for their dine -in experience, so he said no to deliveries.
37
He learned that DoorDash had quietly slapped a delivery option onto his listing and started delivering food like they owned the place.
38
But the drivers didn't even have the proper bags for pizza, meaning they would arrive cold,
39
resulting in the confusing calls and even some bad reviews.
40
Now, he also noticed that DoorDash had listed his specialty pizza for $16.
41
This pizza actually sold for $24.
42
You see, when DoorDash scraped his website, it accidentally jumbled up some of the prices, resulting in the mix -up.
43
Now, he tried to get the listing removed, but nothing worked.
44
And that's when his friend had a genius idea.
45
He ordered 10 of his own specialty pizzas through DoorDash to be delivered to a buddy's house who was in on it.
46
And because they had them listed for $16, well, he was only charged $160 for all $10.
47
Now, when DoorDash showed up, they paid the real price, which added up to $240,
48
meaning the owner kept the difference of $80.
49
But after the cost of all the ingredients, the profit decreased to about $10.
50
And that's when they got another idea.
51
He ordered 10 more specialty pizzas.
52
But this time, he didn't add sauce or toppings.
53
He just threw the dough in the boxes.
54
This brought his profit up to $75.
55
He tested it a few more times, and DoorDash still never caught on.
56
If he had done this just twice a day, it would have earned him over $50 ,000 a year in pure profit.
57
If you imagine this basketball is the sun, at this scale, Earth would only be about the size of a mustard seed.
58
And you might think it would be about here -ish if this were the actual solar system.
59
But it would actually be around 85 feet away.
60
Now, the moon, which most people would place here, would actually be just two and a half inches away from Earth.
61
And inside those two and a half inches, every other planet could fit snugly, as long as you tilt Saturn's rings.
62
Now, while this does make the sun look big, it's actually pretty small too.
63
You see, if we took the entire galaxy and shrunk it down to the size of the United States,
64
some people would think the Sun would be about the size of the Vegas sphere others might assume
65
it would be the size of a baseball
66
but the actual size it would be so small
67
that it could roll around inside the grooves of your fingerprint
68
they put a ski mask over a rock smashed the window
69
and broke into the car and when the owner found it his son tripped and fell straight into the broken glass.
70
As he pulled the mask off the rock, he gripped it tight in his hand.
71
This was his symbol, his sign to put an end to crime like this.
72
Now weeks later, his friend was getting beat up in the street, and no one was helping.
73
He knew what he had to do.
74
He ran to his car, grabbed the mask, slipped it on, and chased the attacker before detaining him.
75
You see, he had a background in MMA, so this came naturally to him.
76
He had a suit professionally made, then sent it off to be reinforced with bulletproof material.
77
It fit like a glove, and he called himself Phoenix Jones.
78
But there was a problem.
79
He didn't know how to find crime.
80
He would sit on rooftops for hours, just scanning the streets for anything.
81
And when something did finally happen, By the time he got all the way down, well, it was already over.
82
Now, over time, he did get the hang of it, and he was actually stopping crimes.
83
Sometimes he got hurt, and the situations were dangerous.
84
But people started to notice.
85
Some praised him and asked for photos.
86
Others, including some officers, said he was hurting more than helping.
87
Regardless, other heroes started to join him.
88
He worked closely with Purple Rang, whose focus was stopping domestic abuse.
89
And eventually, the two even got married.
90
He was living the dream, fighting crime, in love.
91
Everything was going right, until 2011.
92
Phoenix saw what he thought was an assault in progress, so he rushed in to stop it.
93
But the people were actually just dancing, not fighting.
94
The misunderstanding spiraled.
95
It ended with pepper spray, a fight, and Phoenix Jones being arrested.
96
After his court hearing, he made a decision that shocked everyone.
97
He revealed his identity.
98
I am Phoenix Jones.
99
At first, people were supportive.
100
But this stunt lost him his day job working with autistic children.
101
And the police confiscated his suit.
102
Thankfully, he had a spare.
103
So he doubled down, and he kept fighting crime.
104
And that's when he really became famous.
105
He went on podcasts, talk shows, and even had toys made after him.
106
This was the peak.
107
But then one night on patrol, everything changed.
108
Phoenix heard gunshots and ran toward them to try to stop the shooting.
109
But he was too late.
110
An innocent woman was hit, and she didn't make it.
111
He couldn't stop thinking about it.
112
The idea that he had failed, it made him more controlling, more intense.
113
The other heroes started to leave him.
114
Purple Rain divorced him and cut all ties.
115
He kept fighting crime, but his presence on the streets slowly faded.
116
And then, in 2020, Phoenix Jones was arrested for selling drugs.
117
And some people believe he had been dealing drugs the entire time.
118
They say his hero phase was eliminating competition on the streets so he could sell more.
119
But others say that he just lost his purpose after he stopped being a hero.
120
Either way, for years, he put on the mask to fight criminals until he eventually became one himself.
121
He found a mysterious box while checking his mail.
122
And when he opened it, he discovered a ring.
123
There was also a note beside it.
124
This ring will grant three wishes.
125
Choose wisely.
126
He laughed, then slipped the ring onto his finger.
127
He was actually on the way to his job, so he jokingly made his first wish.
128
I wish I didn't have to work anymore.
129
And of course, nothing happened.
130
During his first delivery, he grabbed the package, scanned it stepped off the truck
131
and was slammed by a car he woke up in the hospital the doctor told him
132
that he was paralyzed and that he would never walk again he was devastated
133
but the company he worked for offered him a settlement
134
that set him up for life meaning he didn't have to work anymore, just like he wished.
135
Weeks passed as the ring began to feel heavier and heavier,
136
until he finally whispered, I wish I could feel my legs again.
137
At first, nothing happened.
138
Then fire tore through his legs and back.
139
Every nerve burned.
140
He could feel again, but only the pain from his injury he still couldn't move his legs
141
he screamed at the ring i wish for my old life back

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
