1
I just moved to New York City, and I have no friends here.
2
Well, that's not true.
3
I have a couple.
4
But I'm sure you guys know one of the hardest things
5
about moving to a new city by yourself is finding new friends.
6
Or is it?
7
Today, I'm going to put
8
that theory to the test by trying to make a friend in three different places all across New York.
9
We'll have an easy level, where I think it will be kind of easy to make a friend.
10
We'll have a medium level, where it might be a little bit more challenging
11
and then we will have an extremely hard level where it might be actually impossible to meet a friend in that scenario.
12
Once I meet somebody, I need to convince them to take me on a side quest,
13
something that they enjoy doing while we get to know each other.
14
So let's go ahead and get started with the easy level.
15
Level one, this is easy mode.
16
We're in Times Square.
17
This is the most densely populated part of this entire city.
18
A lot of people come here, especially tourists.
19
A lot of people by themselves.
20
So hopefully they're in like a friendly mood and we can make friends with them.
21
Look at that.
22
What the hell?
23
New series?
24
Who else watching
25
Among Us, the TV show?
26
Okay.
27
I want to find somebody by themselves.
28
I think that's the best approach.
29
But a lot of these people here are in groups.
30
So let's see.
31
I walked all around
32
Times Square trying to find anybody to approach.
33
And all I could keep finding was groups of big people.
34
And for the start of this video, I really wanted this to be like a one -on -one type hangout.
35
So we kept walking, honestly, up and down and up and down until I could find literally anybody to approach.
36
And I'm not even joking when I say this.
37
The literal first person that I went up to talk to was this girl right here.
38
Now, unfortunately, my dumbass Australian cameraman was not recording when I said, hey, how you doing?
39
But the conversation literally starts right after that.
40
Take a look.
41
Excuse me, miss, do you live here?
42
I don't.
43
Where are you from?
44
San Francisco.
45
Are you here by yourself?
46

All right, level two, we are at Washington Square Park.
335
This is one of the most popular parks in the city and a lot of people seem to be pretty friendly here.
336
So I think it should be a little intermediate level of trying to make friends.
337
So let's go try it.
338
For level two, I don't know why, but I was feeling a little bit more nervous.
339
It's weird because some days I could wake up
340
and talk to people
341
and some days it literally feels like a guy pushing the rock up the hill
342
and this was one of those days yo bro what's going on
343
but then out of nowhere in the corner of my eye i saw this dude who i loosely recognized
344
so i went up to talk to him i'll ask you something
345

346
it is to make a friend in new york what are y 'all doing here literally just walking around
347

348

350
so crazy the one time we doing nothing yo you know this happens there's
351

352
just like, if you're down for that.
353
Let's do that.
354
Yeah.
355
What were y 'all filming?
356
I saw you filming that truck when I walked up to you.
357
Oh, let me give you a mic.
358
That was a TikTok.
359

360

433
and, like, I want to show people that you can move to a big city, and it's like, you don't need anybody,
434
you can kind of just meet people there.
435
I swear, yeah.
436
You find that?
437
Like, me, I'm a real one, bro.
438
Me, personally, like, I'm shy.
439
I don't really, like, make new friends and shit.
440
But I'll say, like, New York especially, bro, is the most easiest place to ever make it.
441
You just say something out loud, bro, somebody's gonna agree with it, and then you're gonna start from there and start a whole friendship.
442
You compliment somebody's outfit, could go a long way.
443
Like, New York is, I'm telling you, the most miscellaneous.
444
Yeah, I just walked up to you, and now we're sitting here smoking weed.
445
Like, that's the same, bro.
446
Anything's possible out here.
447
You ever thought about making a YouTube content or not?
448
Since I'm not streaming, that's why everybody's telling me I might as well just do YouTube content.
449
You got the personality for it.
450
You should be shy, though.
451
Like, now I meet 100 fans a day, so I have to, like, learn how to talk a little bit.
452
So, like, now I'm, like, sturdy, but, like, I would choose not to talk than to talk for me, you know what I'm saying?
453
Yeah, you'd rather, like, be in your own world.
454
Yeah, and if I'm not high, it's over.
455
You're not high?
456
To myself, like.
457
Oh, that's not good, bro.
458
Yeah, I need to.
459
You gotta learn how to do it.
460
Dang, if I don't get high, I don't eat.
461
Word of my day, that's one thing I'm gonna overcome.
462
This shit, that's right now, like, my battle.
463
I need to stop smoking weed, gang.
464
Yeah, bro, I ain't been high in, like, much, you know?
465
You got me.
466
Bro, high and hot, bro.
467
Bad combination, bro.
468
Feeling like a thot right now, gang.
469
Like, what's up, gang?
470
In fact, bro, I love my grave, bro.
471
Every time I think, my throat just gets fried in my head and it doesn't come out, bro.
472
You only do it on YouTube?
473
Yeah, I'm starting to make music, too.
474
You ever try that?
475
Yeah, yeah, I do this shit for fun.
476

477
Really?
478
You got anything that you could show me?
479
My shit ass, bro.
480

481
It's fun, though.
482
It's fun to, like, express yourself in different forms of, uh...
483
Because I just love being creative.
484
I love, like, every type of media, so...
485
Just try to experience, just do everything.

Shout out to my new friend Jay.

We have to make a friend on the subway.

This is extremely difficult because if you look behind me, look at these people on here.
514
Nobody wants to be approached on there.
515
Everybody's in their own world.
516
They're doing their own thing.
517
And this is going to be the most difficult level yet.
518

Oh, no worries, no worries.
533
No, you're good, you're good.
534
Oh, brother.
535
This is so difficult.
536
Nobody wants to be talked to on here.
537
Everybody's...
538
I need a better game plan.
539

553

554
Do you have any advice?
555
No, I'm just gonna...
556
Nah, I'm even gonna.
557
Good to meet you, bro.
558
Can't be someone that recognizes me.
559

570
I love your jacket.
571

572
What is your name?
573
Hi, Casey.
574
I'm Parker.
575
What's your name?
576
Casey.
577
Where are you going right now?
578
Oh, what's your major?
579
So you're going to school right
580
now? you can't take me on a side quest okay all right thank you anyways yeah yeah you don't work first
581
okay i was literally at this for hours approaching person after person going on train after train
582
and just having no luck for whatever reason the energy was just not there
583
that day so i thought the best thing to do at
584
that point was just pack it up and try a different day
585
and looking back i'm really glad that i made that decision
586
because i think it turned out for the best when i went back at it a couple days later.
587
I was feeling a bit more refreshed, but still very nervous.
588
Like I mentioned about 10 times, everybody on the subway is in their own world.
589
Nobody wants to be talked to, so it's really hard to approach people.
590
I ended up approaching this one dude to start, but as it turned out, he knew who I was.
591
And the one rule for this challenge is that the person had to be a complete stranger.
592
But then, literally the next people I approached was right here, and this happened.
593
You guys here from out of town?
594
Yeah. From where?
595
Scotland.
596
Oh, shit.
597
First time in New York?

599
Shit, how you liking it?

602
So far where you guys had it now no clue yet no clue this is weird
603
but we're making a video right now we're trying to see
604

605
if we join you for like a little uh a drink
606

¿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.
