1
Look who just walked in, Conor O'Brien.
2
Thank you.
3
The voice of Smarty Pants, Toy Story 5.
4
So you gotta set the scene for us.
5
Yes.
6
Pixar wants a potty trainer, and they come to you.
7
Yeah.
8
And I've never felt more seen in my life.
9
They came to my office, and they said, we want to pitch you on being in Toy Story 5.
10
And I said, let's hear it.
11
And they said, you're a device that trains two-year-olds how to use the potty.
12
And I said, where do I sign?
13
I want in.
14
But it's actually, it's a really, it's a very funny character.
15
Very funny, too.
16
And I finally got to see the movie because you shoot your part, you don't know what's going to happen.
17
And then they bring you to the premiere and you see it for the first time.
18
And you're completely alone when you're doing it, right?
19
Yeah, you're alone.
20
And I talked to Tom Hanks, I think the day I signed, I saw him a few hours later.
21
And he said, Conan's going to be the hardest thing you ever do.
22
And I thought, that can't be true because you're, it's just your voice, but you have to work so hard to get all of your personality into this microphone.
23
And then of course they have you do it.
24
They'll say, do this line and remember you're falling at 35 miles an hour, but you hit a rock towards the end, so give me a little, and go.
25
And you go, and then they say, they're behind a glass and they all look at each other and they go, could you begin?
26
But you're falling at 40 miles an hour and you hit two stones and you do that for about seven hours.
27
Oh my God.
28
You're drenched and then they call you back and do that multiple times.
29
You go back, but they're geniuses.
30
They did a brilliant job.
31
Yeah, they did.
32
Well, let's see you in action.
33
Let's do that.
34
All right, let's do it.
35
Oh, Snappy!
36
Atlas, they're still here!
37
Oh, bossy cowgirl, we have to turn it back on!
38
No!
39
No way!
40
The last thing this world needs is more devices.
41
What?
42
What?
43
You're just going to shove them back in the dark forever?
44
Do you have any idea what that's like?
45
Fine.
46
We've got to make this quick.
47
Ha ha!
48
Yes!
49
Number one, you made number one.
50
No!
51
I know those are gasps of respect.
52
Yeah.
53
Getting to be involved in any way with Joan Cusack, who I think is one of the all-time greats, was magical.
54
So that alone was worth it.
55
But yeah, it's a very strange sensation.
56
We had this premiere, and then Taylor Swift shows up on the carpet.
57
The next thing you know, I'm having my picture taken with Taylor Swift.
58
So my daughter decided to start talking to me again.
59
It ended a three-year rift.
60
But yeah, she's got this song, and it's spectacular.
61
It's already number one.
62
It's number one, yeah.
63
But how would you describe the character, Smarty Pink?
64
Oh, let's really get into the character of Smarty Pink, shall we?
65
First the fro-yo, then let's talk about the toilet training device, and then we'll talk about this peace deal.
66
You know what I like about him?
67
He takes his job very seriously.
68
He's really serious about it.
69
He's thin-skinned because not everyone respects what he does, and so he's quick to be offended.
70
He's also been turned off for a long time.
71
He's just come back to life, and he's usually, for a while, he's at half power, and they said just do it as if you've been drinking.
72
So I went method, and I just had a ton of tequila.
73
Are you gonna be okay?
74
Are you all right?
75
Thank you for summarizing me on TV in six words.
76
Yeah, someone had to do it.
77
Someone had to do it.
78
Well, you're a promotional machine.
79
I cannot figure out how you managed to promote the film while giving the commencement address at Harvard.
80
How did you...?
81
They said, would you like to do this commencement address?
82
I said at Harvard, my alma mater.
83
So I said, yes.
84
I really sweated the speech because you want it.
85
You know, you're in pretty good company.
86
You know, and I'm sure there's some criminals in there as well.
87
But it's like 50-50.
88
Icons, civil rights leaders, great world leaders, and then white collar criminals.
89
But I wanted that to be good, and then I decided I need to tell these young graduates up front who's their speaker.
90
So I told them I'm in Toy Story 5 playing a potty training device, because I wanted them to have the appropriate amount of respect for me.
91
So all in all, it was a great experience for me.
92
It was like a bucket list thing to get to do.
93
Well, I'll tell you what, we're excited because you're going to hold the Oscar for the third year in a row.
94
Which is great, and we know you enjoy doing that.
95
I had someone tell me that you're very handsome.
96
I just had somebody get in my ear to tell you that you're very handsome.
97
I think those were your thoughts.
98
I think when you touch your ear and say, I just, no, no, no, that's you.
99
That's the fake.
100
That's the fake.
101
You're very handsome.
102
I find you very handsome as well.
103
But we're always excited to see you, man.
104
Congratulations, Toy Story 5.
105
It's in theaters on Friday.
106
Our guy, Conan O'Brien.

¿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.
