1
That's my dad.
2
Ever since I was a kid, he's been obsessed with one truck, the Ford Bronco.
3
He used to have one when we were growing up and it was his most prized possession.
4
But unfortunately, when times got hard, he had to sell it to help out our family.
5
For the last 10 years, he's been constantly telling me how much he regrets it and that his number one dream is to buy it back.
6
Sadly, it just never happened until today.
7
It's like two in the morning right now.
8
I've been
9
this guy and after weeks of trial
10
and error i think i finally found it not only did i find a bronco
11
but i found the exact same color and the same model
12
that he used to have over 10 years ago
13
and it's fully restored so there's only one thing to do
14
and after a couple days of waiting it was finally time
15
to see the truck all right the big reveal sheesh that chromey chromin oh yeah nah
16
oh yeah oh yeah this is crazy yo he's gonna freak out
17
when he sees this he is gonna freak out
18
when he sees this y 'all
19
so this right here this is a 1979 ford bronco it's crazy about this truck
20
because this is the same exact truck that my dad used to have
21
when i was a kid mom can tell about it yes
22
so and it's so cool because it even smells the same go get in it um
23
but him and dad used to
24
little Jordan was in the back seat looking out the window
25
so it's just it's super cool guys super super cool yeah everybody got the Lambo's everybody got these Yuris's
26
and stuff I've never seen nobody pull out a classic remodeled Ford Bronco like this one
27
oh yeah I literally get the same feeling every time I
28
do stuff like this for my family man like there's nothing else that I can buy for myself
29
that will bring me any pleasure.
30
All the joy that I get these days is from giving it back to my friends
31
and my family and the return on something like this is prices.
32
You're gonna see later.
33
You're gonna see later because we got a big plan to deliver this to my dad
34
and we got to get ready for it now.
35
So here's the plan.
36
My dad and I recently have been getting into real estate
37
so I fully convinced him that I'm taking him to see another rental property.
38
What he doesn't know is it's all a setup.
39
I convinced one of my friends to pretend to be a realtor and take us to a
40
to secretly bring the truck to that house, cover it up in the driveway, and get everything set up for when we arrive.
41
And when I get there, I'm gonna act like nothing is happening.
42
This is just a regular property showing and cross my fingers
43
and hope that my dad doesn't realize that his dream truck is staring him right in the face.
44
All right, y 'all.
45
So that's the plan.
46
We are running late.
47
It's time to go.
48
Come on.
49
All right, bro.
50
So what's the story about your dad?
51
All right.
52
So when I was stepped away from me and my mom when I was born.
53
And my sister's dad, 'cause I got an older sister, she's in her 30s.
54
My sister's dad stepped up and decided to raise me.
55
He was there the day that I was born, and my whole entire childhood, he supported my mom.
56
Even though they weren't dating and they weren't together, he stepped in and decided to raise me as his own son.
57
And I have nothing but respect for him for that, and that's why you hear me call this man dad, because he literally raised me.
58
people I've ever known in my entire life.
59
He always looks out for everybody and he has a heart of gold.
60
And what he did for me as a child is just, you know, an example of one of those things.
61
Some of y 'all know that my biological dad did pass away a couple years ago
62
and I still miss him every day.
63
But really growing up, I didn't have a relationship with him.
64
I had a relationship and I still have a relationship with my dad.
65
His name is Rob and you guys are
66
this video i've never actually shown him on the channel
67
but in my opinion i love all my family members
68
but this man is the most interesting character of my entire family like i'll let you guys see for yourself
69
but he's an amazing guy and he deserves this gift today
70
so all right y 'all we made it to my dad's
71

72
that subscribe button i am trying my hardest to get to 2 million year and I need your help.
73

75
This is my realtor Juan.
76

77

79

86
Hey buddy.
87
Josh, nice to meet you.
88
Josh, he's been filming with me lately.
89
We're running a little late for this thing.
90
But first I want to show him around this house, tell him what we've been working on.
91
How you feeling?
92
Are you good?
93
I'm good.
94
Took the day off work.
95
Yeah, yeah, I did.
96
I was telling him this is really like the first time we ever did a video together.
97
Oh yeah, that's true.
98
You've been on the videos like the McLaren one, but you really haven't had your...
99
No, I have not.
100
Well, yeah, that's good.
101
That's good.
102
Well, come on.
103
Let's show him the house.
104
And my dad's house tour gave us the perfect amount of time for my mom to secretly set up the truck.
105
Where are you from?
106
All right, guys, so Jordan and his dad are going to be here in about 10 minutes.
107
So we got to hurry up and get this covered.
108
All right, let's do this, guys.
109
After my dad finished showing off his vintage sign collection, his old school Camaro, and of course his latest purchase, a Robotron arcade machine.
110
One of my, yeah, very much one of my happiest purchases.
111
Yes, it is.
112
It was finally time to surprise him with his truck.
113
I mean, show him his new investment property.
114
Alright, Wanchi, so show us around the property.
115
Why is this possibly a good deal at 700?
116
Well, this neighborhood.
117
Good neighborhood.
118
Tell me more.
119
I'm not sold yet.
120
So they've had the septic done in the last three years, and everything is up to standards with the hurricane.
121
Yeah, it's a wooden wooden frame house, but...
122
Got a brand new roof.
123
Well, close to a brand new metal roof.
124
Big property.
125
Yeah.
126
How big is the lot?
127
- It is...
128
- Like a little less than a half acre or something like that?
129
any more information on it because I'm not sold on this at all.
130
We're still waiting on the landlord to come in and open us up the key.
131
So you want me to wait right now in the car?
132
- Yeah, go call her and maybe 'cause we drove literally all the way over here, like, go find me like another deal or something.
133
- Alright, I'll be back.
134
- I like the two car garage.
135
- Well, yeah, but that's like standard.
136
For 700, I don't know.
137
That's a lot, but that's this neighborhood.
138
Yeah?
139
What do you think the house across the street goes for?
140
Oh, they're all in the 800s, 7, 800s.
141
Like, that one's probably a mill right there.
142
Really?
143
Yeah.
144
Because, yeah, it's huge.
145
Yeah.
146
Damn.
147
Hey, Wanchi.
148
There is a school down the street.
149
Oh.
150
It's an option.
151
I'm gonna let him call the lady and see if we can find another deal.
152
Since she's not going to be here for like 10 minutes, I kind of want to see this thing.
153
Yeah, I don't think we should.
154
Why not?
155
Oh.
156
Where should we look?
157
Let's just do it real quick.
158
They don't have any cameras.
159
I'm sure.
160
No, don't look.
161
Dude, should I even be recording this?
162
Wait, we have to...
163

¿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.
