Okay, so the Monster Mini Fridge.

Earl said you can put whatever will fit in the fridge.

Monster, soda, beer.

It's a mini refrigerator.

I don't even like Monster that much.

I'm more of a Red Bull guy.

Yo, is this Call of Duty zombies?

That thing better be pack-a-punch for 10k.

He said, I can't believe you got nothing better to do.

Earl, you couldn't be more right.

I can't believe it either.

I love you, Earl.

Let's see what you got here.

That is literally a baby.

Whose baby is that?

What?

It looks like he's confronting me about something.

What's up, dude?

You trying to throw hands?

Let's go.

His face is so judgmental.

I don't know what it is.

Either way, oh my god, Jeffree Star palette from Buddha, Texas?

I'm pretty sure Buddha is like in the middle of nowhere.

Hey Sandra, I'm a Shane stan?

How firm is firm?

Okay, we got a shock pump for air shocks.

This works like what?

Alright, so we got some weights here.

Yo Greg.

Nice set.

Is it cool if me and my boys test it out?

Get a little arm pump?

Eh?

If my boy Ronnie hits more push-ups than you, we get it for free.

Steroid man.

This is Ronnie.

Oh, we got two messages.

Sandra says I just received it today

And I would like to stay at this price if it's not sold by the end of the week.

I'll lower it, but only by $5 $5 I'll do $5 today.

Wow, that's a steal

No way

Carlos said depends how anal you get with different sizes

We're really naked butt jokes right now over Facebook marketplace Carlos My guy I have someone coming by now.

I'll let you know

if they fall through prices first I hope we just completely didn't acknowledge all the challenge

So basically I'm not gonna be able to get this.

Ronnie is pissed.

100

You don't want to be on Ronnie's bad side.

101

Sandra said I'm not sure you read my message right.

102

I'm not sure either.

103

You're so funny.

104

This makes me so uncomfortable.

105

It's so awkward.

106

What else we got here?

107

Is that a word or an acronym?

108

What could that possibly stand for?

109

JSJA.

110

Japan Sports Jiu-Jitsu Association.

111

Oh my god.

112

Is that a threat?

113

Geel?

114

Is that your name?

115

Geel?

116

Dude.

117

I said I received the pal today

118

and would like to stay at the listed price

119

if it is not sold in a week I will lower the price by five dollars

120

so forty dollars minus five dollars equals 35 deal All right, so it's forty five dollars for a Keurig or it's forty five dollars for a cup of coffee

121

Forty five dollars for a cup of coffee move it or lose it pal Unbelievable and this thing's pretty wicked.

122

I'm not gonna lie five bucks.

123

I Don't even know how to lowball this such a good deal.

124

Would you do? three dollars?

125

I don't know why I said such a good deal before asking

126

that because then it makes me look like I'm just a terrible person.

127

Which is the case most of the time but here we are.

128

I love how on Facebook Marketplace you could be looking at a Thanos pop doll

129

and then on the next row 11 acres of land.

130

That's just Texas for you.

131

Okay this one seems pretty good.

132

I am inevitable. So nerdy.

133

I love Thanos.

134

He's not that bad of a guy, okay?

135

He means well.

136

Selling some Chevy Reels.

137

Would this fit on my Toyota Camry?

138

No. Then don't waste my time.

139

Just kidding.

140

Haha, I'm silly.

141

Have a great life, Pablo.

142

No way, dude.

143

This thing is sick.

144

Oh my god.

145

Camper, what's the camper?

146

Oh, that's so sick.

147

148

Can I test drive first?

149

I feel like that's pretty fair.

150

Full service handyman.

151

I'm gonna be honest, Jeffrey, that doesn't look like that good of a paint job.

152

He missed so many spots.

153

You missed a spot, I'm Jeffrey.

154

JK, LOL.

155

Oh, we got a message.

156

Oh my god, he responds.

157

What did that bring you?

158

Back to me.

159

My guy.

160

Haha, you legend.

161

You know what?

162

I actually want this.

163

I'm not gonna lie.

164

I want this Thanos doll.

165

Would you do 15 if you drive me?

166

I have a little bit of a surprise cooking in my brain

167

So I don't know which one of these people we're gonna make a deal with

168

but we're gonna meet in the middle somewhere

169

and in person I'm gonna give them a thousand dollars

170

or whatever it is I'd be down to pay for that from Thanos.

171

That seems like a good deal, but I'm not gonna tell them I don't know who it's

172

gonna be We're gonna find someone to sell us something

173

and then give them a lot of money not actually drivable Tina doesn't think I can drive this thing.

174

I'm the best driver I know I can drive anything anything Tina it's lunchtime Holla at me I got chicken plates, two meat plates, brisket plate,

175

three meat plate $20 Okay, Chris can I get a three meat plate tomorrow?

176

This actually looks so good.

177

What is that?

178

Get your toes off my screen.

179

If you want it come and get it.

180

Nah nah nah nah Oh my god, he blocked me.

181

No way!

182

So we had the monster fridge and now the Red Bull cooler Can I only put Red Bulls in here?

183

Alright, so you got a nice house for $90k.

184

$14.

185

I'm the best businessman I know.

186

I don't know any businessmen.

187

I can put whatever I want in the Red Bull cooler.

188

Then what's the point?

189

Unbelie-ble-ble-ble.

190

Unbelie-le-ble.

191

Unbelie-le-ble.

192

Unbelie-le-le-ble.

193

Unbelie-le-ble.

194

No. Unbelie-le-ble.

195

This baby again?

196

What's good, homie?

197

Oh my god.

198

Okay, I'll be back whenever someone responds, hopefully, and lets me buy their thing.

199

Okay, so I think it's been like an hour.

200

I found Chris.

201

I'm not gonna put this information in the video unless he says it's okay.

202

But basically, he sells barbecue plates, which is pretty cool.

203

But I asked if he could make a plate tomorrow, and he says he normally does Saturdays.

204

And I said, anyway, you can do three plates tomorrow.

205

I can pay extra.

206

If not, I understand.

207

And he said yes.

208

So I go to his page, and no one else responded when I was getting serious about the lowball thing.

209

I think everything happens for a reason and like I said, I'm not gonna put this in unless I get permission from Chris

210

So he basically says he does barbecue plates plates starting at $10

211

He will deliver the food will be ready around noon will

212

not end until sold out Please tell somebody I am NOT

213

doing this for me trying to help my mom out ever since my dad passed It's been a financial struggle for her.

214

No sad story

215

But just the truth one thing my dad asked me to

216

do is take care of my mom before he passed

217

so that's pretty emotional I think

218

if I'm gonna give $1,000 to anybody I would like it to be Chris

219

and he's the only one who responded So hopefully tomorrow I'm gonna have a barbecue lunch, so I'll see you then.

220

Hey Chris, how's it going man?

221

Good, good to see you.

222

Hey, appreciate you doing this so quick turnaround.

223

All right, so, um...

224

So, um, I want you to look at it.

225

227

234

235

236

And people, man.

237

I do catering, whatever.

238

Hey, I actually got to tell you something.

239

So I actually make YouTube videos.

240

So basically, last night I was on a Facebook marketplace and I was like goofing around and stuff.

241

And I do this series where I like lowball people on Facebook.

242

But then at the end I was like, you know what?

243

I want to find someone.

244

Whoever responds first, I'll like go buy their thing.

245

So we agreed on like 45 for the delivery and everything.

246

So I want to do something a little special.

247

I actually have a little bit more.

248

I'm going to do $1,000 for the barbecue today.

249

Man, I appreciate it, man.

250

253

You don't know how much this actually helped me.

254

255

I saw, you know, what you said about your father and how you're supporting your mom financially.

256

257

I just have so much respect for that and the hustle.

258

259

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
