Shadowing Practice: When Rude Interviewers Get Destroyed By Celebrities - Learn English Speaking with Video

Sometimes, celebrities have no choice but to put rude interviewers in their place.

Like the time Joaquin Phoenix clashed with a reporter who opened with a bizarre backhanded remark.

Economic environmental impact in these troubled times.

Excuse me?

Kidding.

You're so much fun.

You know what?

I think our interviews will last about two seconds.

So this movie is, it's such a heartworm.

I cried three times during the course of it.

I don't believe you've ever cried in your life well you

know it's a cruel in the hard world being me

but i like to lie things only got worse from there

as phoenix spent the rest of the interview in an understandably

sour mood before abruptly cutting things short what did you learn about yourself

and your voice absolutely nothing yeah came out cold these things happen they do

and besides enjoying themselves when people see this film what do you hope

that people glean from it when they walk out of the cinema thank you And while Phoenix fired back with sarcasm,

Adam Driver took a much harsher approach when dealing with a pompous movie critic.

Yet this next reporter just wouldn't back off, repeatedly bringing up Mike Tyson's violent past just to provoke him.

That's when the reporter crossed a line, bringing up the tragic death of Tyson's four -year -old daughter and nearly pushing him over the edge.

But this next moment takes the disrespect to a new low, as Bill Burr was blindsided on Howie Mandel's podcast

when Mandel brought out his half -brother from his dad's affair

and look who's here oh hey what's up sit down asshole

billy corrigan billy corrigan asshole i thought this would be great to bring bring a family together

he didn't tell you he told me you were totally cool with me coming that's what he does

that's what he does i thought it was so then like can this be like edited out

or no i can i can go i mean i you

told me bill was all right no i'll do it

because that's the thing he's bringing in here not

because he's trying to heal the

that we went through growing up he's getting here just for the ratings

and mandel didn't stop there he spelled out how he learned

burr's dad had an entire other family turning it into a spectacle for laughs

and clicks we've never met

so billy corgan was nice enough on my podcast to talk about the fact

that he told a story

that he'd never told before my stepmother said to me do

you know who bill burr is bill burr might be one of the children

that your father sired in his days on being a traveling musician

if you do the math he was a piece of with two kids this close together

and he named them the same name he thinks it's different

because he's billy and i'm bill like that's how he told the difference well i was bill

when i was young

but you're right i mean with all respect i just thought whatever you know it's it's it's not

that i don't like him it's it's it reminds me of all of

that so um you know it just seems more of the same from what i've been hearing

so now what was supposed to happen are we gonna go

play catch we're both in our 50s this next one got personal fast as the hosts joked

that shane gillis looked like someone with down syndrome not realizing

he had family with the condition shane actually has been working

out dude let's see it hold on that's crazy oh my

god oh you look good is this from west point

that actually is you guys

and i you know what that's his rival's profile can we

click the video i just want to hear the sound i don't think that's funny

but that's not me so yeah i don't understand it yeah yeah

i don't get the joke yeah it's okay dude it's okay gillis hit his breaking point

when the hosts laughed at a video of someone with down

syndrome prompting him to finally put his foot down yeah these

guys are awesome yeah they're having fun for you guys to sit here and be like, let's bring it up and mock them.

That's f*, dude.

That's a dude.

By using them as an insult.

Using?

We're using you.

So you're insulting them by saying I look like them?

Or you're insulting me by saying I look like them?

This is you backing your victim thing.

No, no, I'm not being a victim.

I'm saying the jokes you're doing is not, it's not like...

It's not PC?

That's not cool.

This next confrontation was sparked when Bill Maher said the N -word on TV.

Weeks later, Ice Cube showed up on his show to call him out

face to face you got a great show thank you you know uh

but you'll be bucking up against

that line a little bit you know you got a lot of black jokes you know i'm saying you do well

it's against racists not yes sometimes you sound like a redneck

trucker no i don't yes you do no i don't

that i gotta push back on all right it's my opinion okay it is my my thing never heard

that opinion before but my thing is this you know

and i'm cool with you i like your show to be honest

I just want to know two questions what made you think

that it was cool to say

that you know I just that's one question I just explained

it there was no thought put into it obviously I was telling dr. Dyson comedians they react

and it was wrong and I apologized and you know

that I more than that I can't do I know I understand the format

and you know you guys say it's a comedian show but this This, to me, is a political show.

And I think you just have to not step on some of the political messages

that you're saying with a joke because some things just ain't funny.

You know what I mean?

This is real right here that we're going through.

And I'm not trying to get on your case, Bill.

I'm telling you, I like your show.

I like you.

But I think this is a teachable moment, not just to you, but to the people that's watching right now.

You know what I'm saying?

100

dude i'm not i'm not i think the people watching right now are saying

101

that point has been made not by me okay all right all right man

102

but you but you made it i made it i made it i'm done

103

and we can laugh now we can tell jokes

104

but muhammad ali set the standard for checking disrespect shutting down

105

a reporter the moment he heard something out of line a negro boy in the south.

106

We say black now.

107

All right, black.

108

All right.

109

Is it not the same thing?

110

What?

111

No, Negro.

112

We are taught that all people are named after country.

113

Chinese are named after China.

114

Cubans are named after Cuba.

115

Irish people are named after Ireland.

116

Indonesians named after Indonesia.

117

Japanese are named after Japan.

118

Australians are named after Australia. But

119

yet it was this next confrontation

120

that almost had deadly consequences as what began as playful banter between kat williams

121

and wanda smith quickly got personal what's your favorite thing to

122

cook they like for me to i do a really nice broccoli they like my broccoli and they love my baked Hey,

123

hey, right now look up your phone and see what it takes to make broccoli and tell me it doesn't say, she doesn't say heat up water.

124

Is that the only step in broccoli?

125

Simmer.

126

Simmer.

127

Have you ever heard of burned broccoli?

128

Can you burn broccoli?

129

You can't burn it because it's made in a pot of water.

130

The mood shifted dramatically when Smith brought up Williams' past arrests, something he had specifically asked her not to mention before they went on air.

131

I am a great cook.

132

Whatever.

133

Yes, ma 'am.

134

You good at heating stuff up.

135

You're good at telling us about what's going on in jail.

136

I've never been to prison.

137

19 felonies, no convictions.

138

Knock it off.

139

Prison and jail aren't the same.

140

No, no. No, no, no. Calm down.

141

Calm down.

142

Only one of us has $12 worth of jewelry on.

143

No, no, no. No, no, no, no. That all is available.

144

If you want to have Wanda's jewelry, Please go to Sit -Go or Quick Trip at any point.

145

If you buy two packs of Newport 100s, they will give you everything Wanda has on right now for $7 .99, and it comes with a free car wash.

146

Won't you come on down?

147

Yes, thank you.

148

Absolutely.

149

We appreciate it.

150

The show starts at 9.

151

Wanda gets to the stage at 9 .17.

152

Please come on down.

153

Go Shea, please come get Miss Cat into her hair.

154

She's almost out of breath.

155

Be careful now.

156

Even on the radio, you can hear the fact that exercise has crept into her vocabulary.

157

That's when things got unexpectedly dark, as that very evening, Wanda's husband allegedly confronted Williams at a comedy club,

158

pulling a gun on him during the altercation.

159

On the other hand, Prince didn't miss a beat when a reporter took a jab at his work.

160

I think this is substandard, or it's not up to your normal standard.

161

Let's see.

162

Is that a substandard shirt that you have on?

163

Is it my place to charge

164

that? that's what's that's what it's about yeah jake paul however

165

just couldn't keep his cool raging on air after feeling disrespected by piers morgan yeah

166

but tyson peak tyson you wouldn't have lasted 10 seconds and

167

and you versus going to the gym you're still a fat

168

ass actually i've been in the gym the last two days

169

like we can make up hypotheticals you should go to the gym if oh

170

if you went to the gym you i've been twice this

171

week okay well that's this is what we're talking about like

172

i think you're saying i think i admire your work i

173

admire your work you don't think i can be mike tyson

174

i don't think you go to the gym okay well i do go to the gym

175

and there's actual photographic evidence

176

but here's my point to you i think you're a great

177

youtuber a great influencer i admire what you've tried to do in boxing

178

but i do think when you actually come up against a proper serious boxer

179

and i suspect that julio cesar chavez jr may be

180

that person you could it could all come crashing down is that you think that your opinion matters

181

well why are you doing my show

182

if it doesn't oh i'm just taking your audience to sell

183

pay -per -views i don't give a about your dumb ass

184

this is a business enterprise buy the pay -per -view on On Saturday, June 28th, me versus Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Thank you.

185

Tune in, everybody.

186

Cheers, Jake.

187

Really enjoyed that.

188

And good luck to Julio.

189

Knock him out for all of us, will you?

190

And while Paul went nuclear, a young Justin Bieber stayed cool and collected, handling a backhanded question with more poise than anyone expected.

191

Critics will say that you are basically a product of marketing.

192

Okay.

193

That when it comes down to it, it's all the YouTube hype.

194

It's all the attention you get online.

195

Okay.

196

Do you see yourself as a product of marketing hype?

197

I think that everything happened organically.

198

It wasn't something that the record label was pushing.

199

It basically happened because my fans liked me.

200

And I think that coming from Stratford,

201

Ontario, and just like, it basically gave others hope because I come from basically somewhere that nothing really comes from there.

202

Like, nobody's ever came out of Stratford, Ontario and been famous.

203

Wait, Lloyd Robertson has come out of Stratford, Ontario and been famous.

204

He anchors the national news on CTV.

205

I'm just saying there hasn't been somebody to come out and be known worldwide.

206

Okay.

207

Do you agree on that point?

208

Well, you know, it's hard to say

209

because i think lord robinson is known in in a little town in germany probably not

210

because he anchors the national news in canada

211

so you're saying you've got international appeal that's the point you're making but

212

when whitney houston sat down with diane sawyer it didn't take

213

long for things to get tense the questions were invasive

214

and condescending and houston wasn't having it i'm gonna show you the picture well that's a bad shot

215

but that's not just then No, what is it?

216

Diane, tell me.

217

Do you know?

218

It's scary, Thin.

219

But do you really know?

220

Do you really know?

221

No, you know.

222

Thank you.

223

Anorexia?

224

No way.

225

They've written it.

226

No way.

227

Bulimia?

228

No way.

229

That it's because of drugs?

230

No. Uh -uh.

231

Whitney dying crack rehab fails.

232

First of all let's get one thing straight crack is cheap

233

I make too much money to ever smoke crack let's get

234

that straight okay we don't do crack we don't do that crack is whack.

235

Tom Selleck would also reach his breaking point

236

when he appeared on the Rosie O'Donnell show to promote a

237

romantic comedy only to be interrogated about his position on gun control.

238

you're going to do an ad for the NRA.

239

you can't say

240

that do you think you can is it i didn't come

241

on your show to have a debate i came on your

242

show to plug a movie that's that's what i'm doing here

243

and that's what we do it's proper to have a debate

244

about the nra i'm trying to be fair with you i'm

245

trying to serve a similar clash would take place on the view after joy behar accused ricky gervais of sexism

246

and gervais wasn't about to back down referring to sex in

247

the city too i said i was sure the golden globe would go to the team

248

that airbrushed that poster yeah a little sexist no it's not why is it sexist well

249

because the girl is saying that the girls are older

250

and they need to be no no no i think they

251

look great at their age why hide it oh i don't think i don't think

252

that you lose your sensuality or beauty

253

because you hit 53 i'm saying why are they hiding it oh i see

254

but the drama didn't stop there the hosts of the view

255

kept pushing criticizing gervais for participating in a male -only comedy panel.

256

Things got even more intense when Behar tried to corner Gervais by asking if he thought women were funny.

257

Vince McMahon's reaction, however, was far more explosive as the former WWE CEO snapped

258

when a reporter implied he was partly responsible for the deaths

259

of his wrestlers i would accept no responsibility whatsoever for their untimely deaths none whatsoever as far as

260

and you've got that little look on your face like yeah well

261

but none whatsoever i mean they wrestled for you they were

262

part of your organization they worked a couple of hundred nights

263

a year for you they lived this lifestyle oh my god you can't you can't believe

264

but when a reporter trampled someone just to reach Amy Winehouse, the singer wasn't having it.

265

She called him out, but he only made things worse.

266

Meanwhile, Chapel Rhone confronted a red carpet reporter she recognized from a previous rude encounter.

267

This next reporter would go out of his way to get a rise out of UFC fighter Conor McGregor, with McGregor quickly putting him in his place.

268

and ronnie james dio proved that even rock legends have a limit

269

when it comes to ridicule snapping

270

when an interviewer mocked his height how tall are you pretty short huh i'm actually seven foot nine you look

271

so sure i can't believe that you didn't realize

272

that you always seem so much bigger not short

273

so don't me off or you won't get a good interview no i'm not saying

274

that it's a bad thing short that pisses me off right away how old are you anyway rodney ronnie Ronnie?

275

Yeah.

276

You're really f*ing stepping.

277

You're putting this one, aren't you, mate?

278

Look, if you want me to beat the f* out of you, I'll be more than happy to.

279

No, I don't want you to.

280

Just clear the fing ass for you.

281

If that's what you want, no problem for me.

282

No, I don't want that.

283

I'm good at that.

284

I don't want that.

285

I'm just a*.

286

Fine, let's go.

287

F* him on out.

288

Meanwhile, Russell Brand's appearance on a morning show turned into a chaotic showdown after he felt disrespected by the hosts.

289

All right, joining us now, he's a really big deal.

290

He's a big deal.

291

I know.

292

I'm told this.

293

I'm not very pop -cultured.

294

I'm sorry.

295

Comedian, movie star, author, and host of the show, Brand X, Russell Brand.

296

As if that dismissive intro wasn't bad enough, another host then made a sly comment about Brand's accent.

297

Very, very intelligent, but the information gets manipulated a lot, and people like to cause fake stirs and stuff.

298

You know, funny, the accent, you know, when I see him in person, it's totally fine.

299

Forgetting Sarah Marshall or the TV show, it's fine

300

but on satellite radio in the car i can't understand a single joke you can't understand it that's

301

when brand completely took over the interview leaving the hosts flustered beyond belief that's basically good manners

302

that is where willie is heading who is willing i don't know the people of america to come

303

and see me do stand -up go to russellbrand .tv where

304

you can purchase tickets to see me these people i'm sure are typically very very good at their job

¿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.
