1
Ever since I was five years old,
2
my mom had me believe that anything I do would make me sick.
3
You go outside without a jacket, you get the flu.
4
You go to bed with the fan on, pneumonia!
5
God forbid you fall asleep with wet hair.
6
You don't wanna wake up.
7
That's it.
8
You're dead.
9
That's it.
10
You're dead.
11
That's fear-mongering, man.
12
I'm not scared of anything anymore.
13
I don't think I have any fear anymore.
14
I used to watch that show Fear Factor.
15
You guys remember that show?
16
Joe Rogan hosted Fear Factor to make you face your fears,
17
like jump off a helicopter,
18
eat crazy shit, like pig intestines and sentry egg.
19
I ate that shit for breakfast.
20
This is nothing to me.
21
Fear is not a factor.
22
when I was like 10 years old,
23
little boy, I was very scared because there was one kid,
24
pretty sad story, in my class he had childhood leukemia and then he lost all his hair to chemo and everything,
25
looking real frail and I was really scared,
26
I was like, oh my god,
27
is he gonna be okay?
28
And my mom, she's a great mother,
29
she saw how scared I was,
30
so she came up to console me,
31
she was like, Jimmy, Jimmy,
32
you see, this is what happens when you play too much video games.
33
That's fear-mongering, okay?
34
I never played a game of FIFA after that.
35
My mom was like the original fake news.
36
I don't like going outside anymore.
37
Too many crazy people, too many weirdos.
38
One time I went to this dive bar in a military town, San Diego.
39
Big military town.
40
I love my military okay but I think sometimes yeah yeah
41
but I think sometimes military people get a little too passionate
42
you know thank you thank you exactly my point right there thank you I love military
43
but they're just too passionate like I was at a dive
44
bar this one military brother came up to me who's just
45
like hey man I want to buy you a drink I'm
46
like no no thank you I can I I can buy my own drink, thank you.
47
And he's like, no, I wanna buy your drink.
48
So at this point, I thought either he wanted to take a selfie or he wanted to fuck me.
49
So I'm like, no sir,
50
I think I can buy my own drink.
51
And then he started telling me his whole life story.
52
He's like, you don't understand.
53
I wanna buy you a drink because I was stationed in Okinawa for four years
54
and you guys have been nothing but nice to me.
55
I'm like, you guys, you guys,
56
Okinawa's in Japan, I'm Chinese, sir.
57
And he's like, it doesn't matter,
58
man, it doesn't even matter.
59
I'm like, sir, I think it does matter, all right?
60
I'm pretty sure the only reason you were stationed in Japan was to keep an eye out on Chinese people like me.
61
It does matter.
62
He was like, it doesn't even matter, man.
63
I still love Pad Thai, okay?
64
Maybe that guy run into BTS on his next tour. Who knows?
65
My point of saying all of this is Asian people,
66
we don't all look alike.
67
We don't all sound alike.
68
You know, we don't even do anything alike.
69
We're just people, you know?
70
Right?
71
Like, everybody's different.
72
Thank you, white lady.
73
Thank you.
74
Thank you, one white lady.
75
I appreciate it.
76
Thank you.
77
She teaches magnet school down the street,
78
a lot of Asian students.
79
So tonight, I wanna offer you guys an advanced lesson on how to tell Asian people apart, okay?
80
Yeah, that's right.
81
I'm so good at telling Asian people apart,
82
I don't even need to look at you.
83
I can tell you what kind of Asian somebody is by the sound they make when they're disappointed.
84
Because disappointment is our strongest emotion.
85
Whenever we get disappointed, our ancestor just comes out,
86
and you can't hide that, you know?
87
Like for example, I'm Chinese,
88
I know Chinese people very well, okay?
89
When Chinese people get disappointed, we're just disgusted.
90
We don't even wanna look at you.
91
When you disappoint a Chinese person,
92
they're just like, oh shoo, shoo.
93
Shoo.
94
Like they just walked into a smoky room and they gotta clear it, just like...
95
Shhh!
96
See, that's Chinese people.
97
Japanese people, when Japanese people get disappointed,
98
they just want to know why.
99
They ask you a question.
100
When a Japanese person gets disappointed, they just like...
101
Eh?
102
Eh? And that's it.
103
You ain't gonna disappoint a Korean person, I wouldn't recommend that.
104
This Korean brother might fuck you up, okay?
105
Korean people are intense, they're ready to fight.
106
But they're my favorite type of people because they're very emotionally honest.
107
A Korean person will let you know when they're disappointed.
108
They're real guttural with it,
109
you know what I mean?
110
When you disappoint a Korean person, they're like, ooh!
111
Shiba!
112
But they're still very Asian,
113
so they're still real polite.
114
They'll thank you with that.
115
And they're like, My girl asked me,
116
she was like, babe, what's your love language?
117
I'm like, what?
118
She's like, you know, your love language,
119
like, how do you convey love to your partners and loved ones?
120
Like, for example, a love language could be words of affirmation.
121
Words of affirmation?
122
I was raised by Asian parents.
123
I've never heard one word of affirmation in my life.
124
Nobody ever told me, Jimmy,
125
you're so great, you can do it.
126
They're like, don't fuck it up.
127
Their love language is verbal abuse.
128
I'm trying to figure out my love languages.
129
Physical touch, right?
130
It's another love language.
131
Nobody touch me until I was 22.
132
I'm not familiar with that.
133
What are some other love languages?
134
I like every woman just screaming out at their front, Act of service?
135
Gift giving!
136
I think gift giving is a good one, okay?
137
I love giving gifts to my girl.
138
She loves giving gifts to me.
139
We love that, right?
140
Like, for example, I love buying my girl shoes.
141
She loves shoes, and we wear the same shoe size.
142
The perfect gift for the whole family,
143
you know what I mean?
144
These are her shoes tonight, you know?
145
It's me perfect.
146
That's right.
147
And in return, I let her wear all of my Jordans.
148
Yeah, guys, you guys know that's love.
149
Because Jordans to guys, that's our most prized possession.
150
If we let you slip into our Jordans,
151
that's like you letting us slip into you.
152
You know?
153
Same thing.
154
But sometimes, sometimes I get a little nervous because her feet's a little dirty.
155
Okay, and she's a white girl,
156
so her feet extra dirty like you know
157
White people I don't know what the fuck you guys do your feet all day
158
You guys just barefoot all time frolicking around like Jenny from Forrest Gump,
159
you know White people you guys got some strong-ass feet man just 120 degrees outside hot cement just like Pssst.
160
Y'all got some hunter-gatherer feet.
161
See, every culture, we got different feet etiquette, all right?
162
White people want to get in touch with Mother Earth.
163
That's great.
164
Black people, on the other hand,
165
I lived with a black roommate for six years.
166
Never saw his toes once.
167
He came out the shower with socks on, man.
168
I'm like, what the...
169
You got a sock drawn there, brother?
170
Asian people, you guys know the rule.
171
When you come into the house,
172
you take your shoes off, right?
173
You're like, we all know that.
174
Yeah, yeah.
175
But our feet actually never touch the floor.
176
Because when you take your shoes off at the house,
177
we got two pair of house shoes ready for you.
178
And then when you walk outside,
179
we got two pair of Crocs ready for you.
180
And then when you come back in the bedroom,
181
we got two other pair of slippers that we stole from a hotel in Vegas.
182
We're ready.
183
Our feet never touch the floor,
184
we got baby soft feet.
185
I think Asian people, our most natural love language is acts of service, right?
186
That's what our parents did to us.
187
They might never say I love you,
188
but they did a lot of nice things for us.
189
Every night, I don't care how busy my parents were,
190
they'll come home and make a five course meal.
191
That's love right there, right?
192
You gotta give it up for them.
193
You gotta give it up.
194
See, we live in a very frivolous society, man.
195
Everybody loves to brag about how much shit they have,
196
how much money they make.
197
We all brag, we all guilty of this.
198
We all just do it in subtle different ways.
199
Like white people, for example.
200
White people never brag about how much money they got.
201
They always just brag about how expensive their life is.
202
Like, oh, Joey just started private school.
203
It's so expensive.
204
And our remodel is totally going over budget.
205
Oh, and you wouldn't believe how much money we spent going to Fiji.
206
I'm like, okay, Katie, I see your life, okay?
207
It's a luxury, it's good for you, okay.
208
Black people on the other hand, a lot more straightforward.
209
Black people just tell you exactly how much money they spent on something.
210
It's great.
211
You guys seen it?
212
Like my black friends or even like rappers, right?
213
They love to brag.
214
They're like, this car, 80,000.
215
My mama's house, 500,000.
216
This chain, a million dollars, man.
217
I'm like, okay, you clearly don't have your priorities straight.
218
But I appreciate the honesty.
219
People love to brag about how much money they spend.
220
Asian people on the other hand,
221
we do the exact opposite.
222
We love to brag about how little money we spent on some shit.
223
Because the art is in the savings.
224
You never pay full price.
225
Like my mom, her catchphrase is, guess how much?
226
Guess how much?
227
Yeah, that's all people.
228
You guys ever play Guess How Much?
229
My mom would come home with something new,
230
like a watch, she'll be like,
231
Jimmy, Jimmy, guess how much?
232
Guess how much?
233
I'm like, Mom, I don't know,
234
it's a very nice watch, like $5,000.
235
And she was like, no. It's $200.
236
Jimmy, my house?
237
My house.
238
This house?
239
Guess how much?
240
Guess how much?
241
I'm like, Mom, I don't know,
242
you live in a very nice house, like a million dollars?
243
She was like, no. It's half off, someone died in it.
244
And if you know the rules of the game, you always guess high.
245
So you make the other person feel good about their purchases.
246
Never guess too low.
247
If you ever guess too low,
248
that's the ultimate insult to an Asian person, okay?
249
One time my mom came home with some new shoes.
250
I guess too low.
251
I've never seen her so disappointed in me.
252
She was like, Jimmy, Jimmy, guess how much?
253
Guess how much?
254
I'm like, Mom, I don't know, very nice shoes, like $200.
255
She was like, oh, yo.
256
Do you even know about shoes?
257
These are $500 Jimmy shoes, okay?
258
Better Jimmy than you.

¿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.
