Now, if you don't mind, also give me a round of applause, because I am a huge introvert,
2
and I left the house for this today, so...
3
I did my wordle, and then I came on in, so...
4
Yes, the introverts, they are my people.
5
Sometimes I'll even ask by round of applause, you know, where the other introverts are in the room, and...
6
That got it.
7
Nailed it.
8
Just a one solitary clap.
9
That was it.
10
And they are probably heading home right now.
11
Just, that was, I was like, I overdid it.
12
That was exhausting.
13
I shouldn't have done that.
14
I know, I know, my people aren't going to applaud.
15
I know this.
16
They might give me like half a head nod, and then we're going to look right back at our shoes where it's safe.
17
That is what my people do.
18
But I feel like as an introvert and a comic,
19
I have just the pleasure of sharing with the extroverts what the introverts have been talking about, you know?
20
Talking is kind of a strong word, I think.
21
But I mean, we have a group text, all right?
22
That's what we have but here's here's just something that we
23
that i i feel like i'd like to share with you guys
24
that most introverts uh can agree with and that is that uh we miss covid you guys we
25
that was the golden age of being that was our normandy you guys that we

That wasn't the punchline yet, but we'll get to it.

It doesn't even matter to me
35
if you are the CEO of a fortune 500 company
36
or just a homeless person on the side of the road
37
you know I am NOT gonna talk to either of you
38
probably should have led with that actually I really tried to spin
39
that into a noble cause but
40
that didn't work I think as an introvert I'm pretty comfortable with most things about it
41
but there's one thing I do not like and that is confrontation.
42
I avoid confrontation at all costs.

I would.

that did not like that I'll tell you that
50
and I am just here for a fresh start here's how much
51
I know I don't like confrontation I was dating a girl in college
52
and I didn't think things were going well I thought it would be best
53
if we just went our own separate ways and saw other people
54
and i i sat her down and i told her that
55
and she looked back at me and said nah i don't think so
56
i'm gonna be honest i did not know that was an option
57
that had never been an option when the roles were reversed
58
but because i don't like confrontation i just went along with it and earlier this year we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary
59
i don't know why you're applauding that is a cry for help
60

61
I could not be blinking any faster.
62
I need help.
63
No, it's fine.

I do not have a lot of accomplishments to talk about.
72
I have still never seen an episode of Game of Thrones.

I don't need that kind of pressure in my life right now.
75
I don't.
76

I have finished every round of antibiotic I've ever been prescribed.
81
That is as exciting as my life gets.
82
my my high schooler and i though we're the same size
83
so we can share clothes which i think is really awesome
84

85
but we can do it we can uh something else about me
86
i i just want you guys to feel safe i have never been arrested um
87

88
that to brag i know my own limitations you know
89
i do i i think about consequences all the time
90
i am not prison material you guys i i i know
91
this although i i've had friends say no you you you are prison material

But I haven't, I have never been arrested.
96
Although in sixth grade, some friends dared me to steal a candy bar with them from a gas station.
97
And I went along with it.
98
And I came running out of that gas station clutching a package of Werther's Originals.
99
i am not smart enough to do crime you guys my my friends came out with reese's peanut butter cup
100
and m &ms and i went for the go -to candy of the 80
101
and over crowd i don't know what my end game was i don't i don't know
102
if i was thinking of my meemaw i have no idea
103
I'm not smart enough for crime but I have always been fascinated by crime
104
and I think it's because when I was young my parents introduced me to a little show called Murder She Wrote.
105
Now I don't know how many have seen
106
Murder She Wrote in here but for just those of you who haven't here's a quick synopsis.
107
It was a mystery of the week show.
108
It all took place in a sleepy little town called Cabot Cove, Maine.
109
And sleepy is really the only adjective you can use to describe a town with that much murder going on.
110
Like, they were just not paying attention at all.
111
Like, I looked it up.
112
Cabot Cove had a population of 3 ,500 people.
113
And approximately one person a week was murdered.
114
that show went on for 12 seasons so 264 out of 3 ,500 people were murdered in Cabot Cove,
115
Maine and I don't know why we don't talk about this more Cabot Cove,
116
Maine is the most dangerous city in all of America
117
and and the kicker of it is the police department did not solve a single one of those crimes
118
not a they went 0 for 264 a 70 year old retired author was the only one keeping
119
that town together she was the only one the only one
120
so that i think started my fascination with crime and then
121
and then during COVID I started watching a lot of crime documentaries on Netflix
122
and I don't know how many other people went down
123
that rabbit hole but I went in a little too hard too fast okay
124
and I messed up my whole Netflix algorithm you know
125
it it got to the point I started getting targeted ads on my phone from Lowe's and Home Depot.
126
Just asking if I need rope or duct tape, you know?
127
And they would bring that to my house.
128
I didn't even have to leave.
129
Google Maps, just from Salt Lake City here to Provo's, Google Maps showed me five different places where I could dispose of a body.
130
You know?
131
And I put a pin in those.
132
I don't know.
133
I don't know what's gonna happen here tonight.
134
I just...
135
This could go downhill at any moment.
136
I don't know.
137
Thank 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.
