1
As you can probably already tell by the lack of masks,
2
which honestly looks foreign to me now,
3
this is an old vlog.
4
I visited my friend Damon in Paris last fall,
5
and by the time I came back I was packing up to move across the country,
6
and then apartment hunting in New York,
7
and then Miss Verona came to down.
8
Basically I was waiting to post this till travel was normal again,
9
but it looks like that that might not be for a long, long time.
10
So anyways, here's this vlog.
11
I fucking miss human beings,
12
dude, and I hope that life will be like this again soon.
13
Can you angle it more towards the water?
14
Not towards me!
15
Don't hit those people!
16
You think it's gonna shoot that far?
17
Ashley, it'll go way over there.
18
Watch for the married couple, don't ruin their day.
19
Umm...
20
It's not going!
21
Woo!
22
Welcome to Paris.
23
Oof, I love Prosecco.
24
Brunch in Paris at 7pm.
25
Eww, it's so zoomed in!
26
But like, it's kind of charming to be that close to the camera.
27
Not when you look like this.
28
Are you kidding me?
29
Okay, this is David.
30
When did we meet?
31
It was like a year and a half ago.
32
We met on La Brea Avenue, because Ashley was editing.
33
She was like an editor.
34
You were an editor back in the day.
35
Yeah.
36
And I needed an editor.
37
And then I met Ashley and I'm like,
38
you can't be an editor.
39
You need to edit your own videos and focus on your own channel.
40
It's weird thinking back because when I met you,
41
I had like 80,000 subscribers.
42
It was such a little YouTube channel and you were the first person that was like,
43
this is a thing.
44
And I was like, no,
45
it's not gonna be a thing.
46
Because you have to,
47
I swear there's a moment where you have to jump to the charts Just stop working for the week
48
or work for yourself and that's when it finally takes off Not
49
that I'm trying to take credit for it Well thanks to David,
50
this is the man who made this view
51
Yeah, it's so pretty!
52
So Damon is curled up on the floor of the Airbnb right now,
53
looking up photos of the party we're about to go to.
54
What's it called?
55
It's called La Possession and it's one of these that's like,
56
Y'all n'y n'a à l'air tu n'a Paris.
57
It's like one of those.
58
I've been to these kinds of parties,
59
but I've never been to one this hard.
60
Like, even I'm a bit scared, actually.
61
Like, we grew up in the States thinking that,
62
like, we're the freest country ever!
63
And then you go to La Possession.
64
What's happening?
65
Just like, people are themselves.
66
Without worrying about other people judging them.
67
Damon's showing me all these photos of people with their shirts off.
68
Girls and guys.
69
So That'll be me tonight You say who?
70
Everybody has their shirt off.
71
I'm not seeing one shirt That's the dress code Ashley These are the sexiest hands I've ever seen.
72
Look at this These are the hands of somebody who's either having sex or right about to If we were being smart,
73
we would start getting our outfits ready.
74
What can we use?
75
Like tie it around Hey,
76
that's a little modest to be honest.
77
That's a little high coverage for me
78
Dress sexy, but I can't wear a dress
79
and we also have to prepare an option for if I take my shirt off Okay,
80
so this is a corset option Wow that works already first option Good to go.
81
Okay, okay.
82
I have that and then jeans,
83
which I feel like is what you would approve of.
84
Skirt.
85
No. Oh, I also have plaid pants,
86
but I feel like this is a little business woman.
87
That's tomorrow.
88
That's the hangover look.
89
You pair that with like a white tee,
90
with like this white shirt.
91
I mean, you said no dresses.
92
I brought like a black dress.
93
I feel like you think we're going to like a party in the Louvre.
94
You'll see everyone there will be in running sneakers.
95
You'll think they're part of like the cross-country team.
96
See, that bothers me, because the first thing I look at somebody's like outfit,
97
Even for guys, I like look at their face and then I look at their shoe game.
98
And if the shoes are bad, it's a no-go.
99
Yeah, that's a deal breaker.
100
You got some Jordans.
101
Homeboys can I like...get it.
102
For a guy's shoes, are the strongest indicator of his perception of his own personality, you know?
103
Yeah, tell us what kind of guy you're looking for.
104
We'll like look at the shoes tonight.
105
I wouldn't date a straight guy who wears Reeboks, I think.
106
But you'd date a gay guy who wears Reeboks.
107
I could take a little bit of a Vans guy as long as he's not a skater
108
and he's more of a nerdy Vans guy.
109
What would your exes wear?
110
Well, that might not be the best.
111
I would not date a Birkenstocks guy anymore.
112
My perfect type of guy is a guy who wears brogues or like oxfords or something.
113
Like something that's a little bit fancy,
114
but I feel like we're not gonna see that tonight.
115
Yeah, just just take the Eurostar back to London and then you might find that there.
116
No, I'm like really skinny right now, but that's fine.
117
Again, it's a body positive place, Ashley.
118
I love how we're all for body positivity,
119
but we all hate our own bodies still.
120
But I feel like even when you have a good body,
121
you still don't think it's good enough.
122
No one's happy, but maybe that's the lesson after all.
123
That if we all realize that everyone's unhappy with their body,
124
then why can't we all just be happy with our bodies?
125
I could do like a workout tank top.
126
And I have good side pecs.
127
Just not front pecs?
128
Ha!
129
It gets a little iffy from the front.
130
Like I'm trying to go out and I'm trying to look sexy tonight, to be honest.
131
I'm going out, I wanna flirt,
132
I wanna meet people, but it's like I have all these quirky clothes.
133
It's not sexy.
134
My entire wardrobe is quirky non-sexy clothes, are you kidding me?
135
You have a corset in gold, are you kidding me?
136
That's so sexy.
137
You think I wanna show up in my...
138
Actually.
139
I think our problem is that we both dress like Sherlock Holmes characters.
140
Yeah, and it's like I enjoy that during the day.
141
But then my thing is like when I go to the club,
142
why am I so worried that people are gonna not find me sexy when I like wearing that?
143
Yeah, I think people will find you sexy in that you look good in that stuff anyway.
144
I'll have to work really hard I found the shirt.
145
It may be a little dirty.
146
Don't smell it, but Ashley,
147
this is how they do it at the raves.
148
You just wear some sneakers.
149
You don't look too pretentious,
150
but you still look kind of cool
151
You just have some chest region coming up I just have a shirt that'll bust open mid-song
152
Here's my Matrix stripper outfit Oh yeah Can we see the full look with it off?
153
Woo!
154
That's how Ashley's gonna be tonight It's gonna look good Dang
155
Any extra additional footage will be on Ashley's phone Please excuse the horrible quality Heartbroken and weary
156
Yeah, it's a good 8.30pm and Ashley just woke up.
157
I've been up the whole day.
158
Not the orange juice Hello,
159
it's us Back in the exact same spot that you saw us earlier We are alive
160
We made it home I love how this Paris vlog is just us at home Yeah,
161
okay, this was my first time at a rave Yeah,
162
the thing with raves here It's like exactly what you picture
163
in a movie You show up to the location You walk in,
164
the bouncers are like, come inside And then you get inside And you're walking into a container factory
165
that ships to West Africa.
166
That's where we were.
167
We were in a container factory.
168
You make your way through the crowd
169
and you're feeling like a little tipsy from the drinks
170
and you make your way to the dance floor and then you see someone who's cute.
171
Enter.
172
He was an overall in a room.
173
He was
174
so cute oh he was yes he was wearing overalls he was adorable i got a picture of them
175
and everything these eyebrows
176
that cheekbones the lips you have to save this picture forever look how happy you look
177

178
a beautiful couple oh well good thing you're in london he's
179
only a train right away i have a feeling it won't work out
180
but we'll keep you guys updated i don't know i don't know
181
if he was as into me as i was into him
182
that's how it goes here i think we're more like cheery
183
and enthusiastic about love
184
and they're just like i was just trying to have like
185
a one night thing i think the confusing thing especially
186
when you're kind of under the influence i'll say it's this french guy
187
and he's like I think I'm falling in love with you like it is
188
that I said yeah he was like really sweet
189
and he was like how long are you here he really
190
seemed like he wanted to like spend the rest of the time with me
191
but then the next morning when you're like hungover
192
and shit he's like get your croissant
193
and leave I've had this before where I've gone on like
194
I think it was literally two dates with a guy here
195
and he was like a French Prince Charming
196
and then third date this man wrote me a sonnet like a poem
197
and all over it was like you are the love of my life
198
and your eyes are so beautiful like the blue of the ocean.
199
I was like, dude, one,
200
like we've seen each other at night.
201
You haven't even seen what my face looks like.
202
He's like, dude, you're doing a lot.
203
You don't know that you love me.
204
Come on.
205
Did you see him after that?
206
Was that too much?
207
Oh yeah, I've seen him many times.
208
We've become friends.
209
Like I said, everyone I meet on like Tinder these days is,
210
it's like a friend app at this point.
211
I've noticed that that's a trend here.
212
They're very romantic, but sometimes I'm like,
213
are you being romantic for the sake of being romantic?
214
Are you being romantic because it's what you feel?
215
Yeah.
216
I think it's like the opposite of in America there's like social pressure to be less romantic
217
and to care less but I think here it's like sleazy romance Which is fine sometimes Yeah,
218
it's still fun, still floats my boat Anyway, how was it?
219
What did you end up doing?
220
Nothing!
221
I went straight home to bed like a good boy
222
I had an experience from an app
223
and I went over to some guy's place
224
and then another guy showed up and another guy showed up and I was like This is hot but...
225
Yeah, count the total number of guys there Yeah,
226
just do the math, do the math.
227
But I eventually subtracted myself from the equation and got out of there because I was not having it.
228
Then I came home and then Ashley also came home.
229
And there we were, two beans on the couch.
230
We couldn't even go out to eat, we ordered Uber Eats.
231
My body will not pass through that door today.
232
Let's compare the time that I left and the time that Dave left.
233
Okay, these are my boots.
234
They look the fucking same as before.
235
These are Damon's shoes!
236
They used to be white!
237
I don't know where Sarah Lynn got the heroin from.
238
Damon and I are watching BoJack and we're literally pausing
239
and replaying it because we're so in awe of how they wrote this line.
240
Wait!
241

¿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.
