But there was one where he had technical difficulties, and he had to record just an apology, like an 11-minute.
13
And he was, the whole thing was done down here.
14
I was like, holy shit.
15
Wow.
16
I didn't even know you could do that, like you said just like in the crawl space of Walken's voice.

In the crawl space with John Wayne Gacy.
18
Yeah, they put all the boys in there.

How about the surprise when you get in the crawl space and meet all your friends?

There's the guy from the Dairy Queen.

31
Do you know?
32
The general consensus seems to be that he's doing like Tom Waits from like his country jazz period.
33
Oh, I've seen that.
34
There's a lot of like old letterman and stuff of Tom Waits just being like, I don't know.
35
And then pulling confetti out of his pocket and throwing it.
36
So he had kind of, Tom Waits had a little bit of a clown persona, a little bit of a dangerous LA drunk guy persona.
37
So I think that's the first thing people think when they're looking at Heath Ledger's Dark Knight.
38
But someone brought up to me that it sounds a lot like Al Franken.
39
And that there was a point where he identified Al Franken as having the perfect Midwest accent.

He was trying to do like a Midwest Joker.
41
Al Franken's way up here and complaining.
42
Yeah, but sell us that.
43
Sell us the Dark Knight Joker.
44
Do I look like a guy with a plan?
45
Yeah, exactly.
46
Al Franken, you'll start hearing it now that I've said it.
47
Oh, then I gotta listen to Al Franken.
48
Once we're in the writer's room and you know, they put the upcoming guest and musical acts on the board.
49
He's sitting at the table.
50
He always has a pencil in his mouth.
51
Yeah.
52
I go, who's Emma Thompson?
53
And he goes, takes the pencil and goes, Are you fucking kidding me?
54
How do you not know she won an Academy Award?
55
And I look right under her name is Smashing Pumpkins.
56
I go, hey Al, who are the Smashing Pumpkins?
57
He goes, I don't know, but they didn't win a fucking Academy Award!
58
And he stormed out. So I got him.
59
Oh my god.
60
And that's where the Joker got the disappearing pencil trick.
61
Oh my god, Joe.
62
Exactly, all the way back.
63
Joe's warming up.
64
Don't let Joe get hot from 3.
65
He'll fucking bury it.
66
Don't let Joe get on.
67
Al Franken did that to A.
68
Whitney Brown.
69
Oh, my God.
70
Okay.

¿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.
