1
Well, pregame, it's like deciding where I'm going to start.
2
And like I've got a bunch of kind of new stuff that I'm working on tonight.
3
So it's like trying to, I look at it one last time because I can kind of see those pages in my mind.
4
And then once I get started, I'll try to figure them out like, you know.
5
more marriage, more singles, and try to anticipate what I might talk about,
6
so yeah I'm just trying to get everything to the forefront of my mind.
7
It's sometimes you have to kind of shift gears between the meet
8
and greet and remembering people and then it's like now it's like remember what you want to talk about.
9
They kind of show you where they want to go.
10
So sometimes I'll have an idea when I go up, hey, I want to talk about this or that,
11
but I'll change my mind when I get up there and start seeing what they're like.
12
So that's kind of the fun of it, those trying to figure out, trying to figured them out.
13
Is it time?
14
One minute?
15
Well, I guess that's time.
16
Okay, I know you're waiting, so I am so pleased,
17

20
and your money to come see me because I'm what's left of Jeff Foxworthy
21
so uh you guys beautiful crowd how you doing up there
22
in the Abraham Lincoln seats we're good little piece of advice lock the door um behind you there
23
so uh I have to share this with you all this
24
has happened to me probably 15 times in the last few months including the Home Depot in LaGrange
25
and the tractor supply in Columbus someone has come up to
26
me happened last Saturday at the airport in Atlanta lady comes
27
up she goes I hate to bother you she goes do you know who you look like
28
and I said I forgot I got a pretty good idea and she goes Sam Elliott
29
she was kind of cute
30
so I said beef is what's for dinner I don't even look like me anymore
31
but I guess it could be worse Sam's not bad right
32
ladies kind of like Sam she could have she could have said Danny DeVito
33
so I am I'm sure it's the the gray hair
34
and the gray mustache
35
but I'm not about to color it I have earned every one of these the only thing
36
that bothers me about that is I'm 67 and Sam's 82 years old,
37
so maybe I need to moisturize or something,
38
but no, we both probably passed the apex of our splendor, but still hanging in there,
39
you know, because I am loving this season of life.
40
I think this is my favorite season of life, and I tell my kids all the time, I go, I miss my 30 year old body
41
but i would not give up my 67 year old mind and soul to get it back
42
it's it's a it's a good spot
43
but for the first time you do start thinking about how
44
much sand do i have left in the hourglass yeah
45
and science has taught us you know that if you eat junk food
46
and sit in a recliner and watch tv what's gonna happen to you when you get old you're gonna die Conversely,
47
if you will eat healthy and work out every day, you're gonna die you just get a few years tacked on at the end
48
and I have seen the years that get tacked on
49
and it ain't a big selling point you got the wheelchair
50
posse in the lobby of the nursing home all of them
51
look like they're about to get their teeth clean you know
52
and you know they're thinking I ate kale
53
and bean sprouts for this and I'm not making fun of them
54
because they don't want to be that way you know nobody
55
and they'll tell you that they're like oh I don't want to be a burden
56
and usually by the time someone says they don't want to be a burden you're
57
so far past burden you can't see it in the rearview mirror you know
58
and yeah it's like I don't I'm sorry honey I don't
59
I don't want to be a burden you're not a burden mama lean over just a little bit
60
so I can wipe your ass and you know how you can tell
61
if somebody was a burden is when you go to their funeral
62
and you go up to their loved ones
63
and you go oh man we're so sorry to hear about your mom and they It was a blessing,
64
a big, big blessing, I can tell you that.
65
Listen, after the services, if y 'all would like to come back to the house, we're going to have a little food and a DJ and some fireworks.
66
So hopefully I'm not quite to that point yet.
67
I am trying to age gracefully.
68
That's what I'm trying to do is be age appropriate
69
because a lot of people aren't a lot of people a
70
lot of people fight it like crazy like I have a cousin she has had
71
so much work done to her her lips I don't know
72
what she did to her lips look like the business end
73
of a plunger um like you could push her head against a sliding glass door and she couldn't get off, you know?
74
And she's had so many facelifts.
75
Her face is stretched so tight, her ears are on the back of her head.
76
And you cannot sneak up on her.
77
You can't do it.
78
But the craziest thing she did, for her 60th birthday, her husband bought her a boob job.
79
and let me tell you they got their money's worth on
80
this they did not just puff up the empty mittens i
81
mean she got torpedoes dude like you know how some women
82
will stick their phone in their cleavage she puts her laptop in there and i don't care
83
if anybody gets a boob job i mean it's their business i'm just thinking And if you were going to do that, why would you wait till 60?
84
I mean, that's like building a giant deck onto a condemned house.
85
Some people just get mad about getting older.
86
My Uncle Joe was like that.
87
But we always do Thanksgiving down at the farm down here.
88
And about four or five years ago, he said during one Thanksgiving, he goes, I want to say this to all of y 'all.
89
He goes, before y 'all put me in a nursing home, I want you to promise me you'll kill me and make it look like an accident.
90
No, Joe, I'm not promising that.
91
I'm not going to jail
92
so you don't have to live in your favorite place, you know
93
and his kids bless their heart they handled it beautifully because
94
when it came time
95
that he needed to go to a nursing home they just all flew to Spain
96
and let him run with the bulls well he was in a wheelchair more like rolling with the bulls
97
but they didn't have to go to jail
98
and he went out tick -tock famous so that was a great video I can tell you that

¿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.
