Pratique du Shadowing: I Opened a Better McDonald's - Apprendre l'anglais à l'oral avec la vidéo
Création de la leçon...
1
I just opened up the world's best McDonald's
2
and there's hundreds of people waiting hours just to get a taste of our burgers. But why?
3
It's no secret America's in trouble.
4
One in eight of the world's population are now fastest obese.
5
Toxic.
6
Ultra processed food.
7
Obesity rates for kids have tripled.
8
It's a double chunk chocolate cookie!
9
And I believe there's one company to blame for all of this.
10
McDonald's.
11
So I've created a plan to take them down.
12
The plan, create the world's healthiest and tastiest fast food restaurant.
13
And I'm gonna call it McDonald's.
14
Oh, um, McDonald's sucks.
15
Now, according to chat GPT, because the logo is slightly changed, I should be able to get away with it.
16
Also, the founder of McDonald's himself right up just stole the business from these two dudes, so we'll just call it get back.
17
McDonald's, please don't sue me.
18
I'm just, I'm just a chill guy.
19
So now I have a logo and a name
20
and now I just need to find a place that's willing to let me have my McDonald's Sucks grand opening.
21
The next day we started our mission of finding a restaurant.
22
Restaurant number one.
23
Hi.
24
I was wondering
25
if you guys would be open to the idea of us renting out this location for a day
26
and opening a fake McDonald's.
27
No. Okay.
28
Alright.
29
After this we started speed running local restaurants with the hope of finding one by the end of the day
30
But unfortunately none of these restaurants seem to be too fond of our idea I don't think
31
so I doubt we can do
32
that No No No No No No No Next question That's the only question I got
33
so Yeah But that wasn't gonna stop me One after another I was pitching these places my idea
34
And once in a while I get a glimmer of hope 99% no I'm holding on to
35
that 1% Alright Thanks man have a good day And same with this place, Irv's Burgers, which literally looked perfect.
36
Okay, well, um, I think I'll have to get in contact with my manager.
37
If you want to write your number down, that'd be awesome.
38
Perfect, yeah.
39
Okay?
40
Thank you.
41
Yeah, yeah.
42
I'll give you a call.
43
Okay, perfect.
44
Mike?
45
Yeah.
46
It's Mike?
47
All right.
48
All right.
49
Thanks, appreciate it.
50
I gave them my phone number.
51
The manager, hopefully, will give us a call, but I think we should probably keep asking around.
52
So we kept asking relentlessly, but to no avail.
53
I realized this would be much harder than I anticipated and honestly started doubting the plan just a little bit.
54
It's been a rough day.
55
Not much luck.
56
We're gonna keep going.
57
Hopefully we can get a yes.
58
But as the day was coming to an end, we got a surprise phone call.
59
Hello?
60
Hey Jack, it's Mike from Earth's Burgers.
61
Oh, how's it going?
62
Yeah, we talked to some people at your restaurant earlier today.
63
It's coming to me, it's coming to me, it's coming to me, it's coming to me.
64
Is that something that you guys would be interested in or would be possible in any way?
65
Right now it's not a good time for us.
66
It's pretty busy down there.
67
Is there like any upcoming dates, like even one day?
68
One day.
69
If it was any day, it would have to be Friday.
70
That's the only option I got is this Friday.
71
Do you have like a rough estimate on like how much that would cost potentially?
72
Yeah, sure.
73
We can do the numbers.
74
On the spot.
75
I'm gonna have to go with about two thousand dollars Jack.
76
Okay Yeah, we'll do we will do it we'll do it.
77
I can like send you all the details and we can like like lock it in.
78
Okay sounds like a plan that sounds good to me.
79
All right.
80
Yeah, bye-bye.
81
Hopefully that's not a mistake.
82
Okay that was actually one of our favorite places we went to earlier today.
83
So yeah, not only is it this Friday, which means we have only a week to get it ready, but it's going to cost us $2,000.
84
For the love of God, please join the movement and subscribe to the channel because we're going to need everything we can get.
85
I think we can call it a night.
86
Hopefully it goes through.
87
Let's get out of here.
88
The very next day, we locked in Friday to rent out herbs
89
and made our way down there to meticulously measure every inch of this place in hopes
90
that we could create perfectly sized decals to make this place look like a legit McDonald's sucks restaurant.
91
Back at home I did some rough Photoshop work and created all of the decals.
92
I called a ton of decal places to see
93
if any of them could get them done in time and one place said, yeah we should be able to get that to you.
94
So I placed the order.
95
With that out of the way I started designing some absolute drip for Irv's Burgers employees
96
that would be helping us serve up all of our meals.
97
Finally, I sent them to get printed at a local print shop.
98
Now that all of that was done, all that was left to do was hope it all comes in time.
99
Okay guys, it's day three, which means we open in just four days.
100
Look, I've been doing a ton of research on ingredients and I think I've literally created the world's best fast food meal.
101
This meal makes Ronald look like an absolute clown.
102
Our goal is to serve 250 meals, which means we're going to need a lot of each ingredient.
103
Now we could try to profit off these meals like the money hungry folks over at McDonald's, but I decided we're already in the hole financially.
104
So let's just give the meals away for free.
105
You know, something for the people.
106
It's probably a horrible business move and I might go bankrupt, but, you know, I think fast food has just gotten way too expensive.
107
All right, let's get to work.
108
And I'm back in frame because I got to turn the camera off.
109
To buy ingredients, we made our way to Whole Foods, which is basically a grocery store for rich and healthy people.
110
And it's the only place that has the exact cheese we need.
111
Pasture-raised organic cheddar.
112
I'm telling you guys, this is the good stuff.
113
The problem is when we asked to buy 250 slices, they said they didn't have nearly enough.
114
But they did tell us.
115
I know the Whole Foods in Tustin is a little bit bigger.
116
Maybe I want to check with them.
117
So we bought out their entire stock and made our way to the Whole Foods in Tustin, where they let us buy out all the remaining cheese we needed.
118
Is it drippy? Is it what?
119
You know, I like my cheese drippy, bro.
120
While we were here, we also grabbed some grass-fed butter as well as a bunch of organic ketchup.
121
Now we had to go all the way to another store called Sprouts to get our beef patties.
122
So we're gonna have to...
123
Ow!
124
What the... Was that...
125
Was that Ronald?
126
That was Ronald McDonald right there.
127
Does he know what we're doing?
128
Did you see that?
129
Dude just came by.
130
Ronald McDonald, he like socked me in my eye.
131
He punched me in my face.
132
I'll probably like get him back or something.
133
Yeah, I don't really know.
134
We still have to get ingredients.
135
So let's just keep going.
136
Ow!
137
Yeah, so that was kind of jarring, but luckily they had the exact beef patties we needed.
138
Organic, 100% grass-fed patties.
139
There is literally not a single fast food chain that offers beef this high of quality.
140
Not only is this stuff healthy, but it's delicious.
141
We wanted to buy 250 of these patties.
142
So what are 50 of those pets?
143
When do you need this by?
144
A week from today.
145
I have to order them.
146
Can you give me a call tomorrow for that order?
147
Just in case we run across anything because it is the holidays.
148
The warehouse are very limited.
149
So we don't know what supplies they have right now.
150
Give me a call tomorrow.
151
Yes, sir.
152
Appreciate it.
153
So that night I called and placed an online order for pickup and hopefully they'll arrive in time.
154
The next day was arguably the most important part, promotion.
155
Now I spent hours emailing a bunch of local food
156
and health influencers on behalf of McDonald's Sucks in hope that some of them might post it or even show up.
157
Then we made our way to pick up a box of flyers.
158
We just picked up 1,000 flyers.
159
These things look actually super professional.
160
Guys, my Photoshop abilities, they're getting pretty good.
161
We're just going to try to spread the word as much as humanly possible
162
in hopes that hundreds of people show up to our restaurant.
163
We started by putting these things up next to Irv's burgers on every single wall Guys, can I talk to you?
164
Yeah So what are your names?
165
My name's Owen, his name's Jack They have McDonald's logos on this and it says McDonald's suck on them Mike, do you know about this?
166
Sorry guys
167
Which literally took us like five hours We have some spectacular
168
news Our boy Santa Cruz Medicinals 500,000 Instagram followers He just posted a story saying that we're opening this McDonald's.
169
I hope that we get some traction.
170
I'm hyped on that So hopefully that does something.
171
We're gonna keep promoting this thing
172
So we made our way to go promote this thing even more and everything was looking up, but then Wait, bro Hold on slow down.
173
Wait pull.
174
Yo pull over.
175
Pull over, bro. For what?
176
Is that who I think it is?
177
Not this fast Come on, let's go.
178
Yeah!
179
Yo, Ronald!
180
Return to the Mac.
181
Get up when it does what it does when it does.
182
How do you feel to get punching me?
183
Get up, fresh shot, come struck walking.
184
Little bit of humble, little bit of conscious.
185
Somewhere between like Rocky and Cosby's for the game.
186
No, no, y'all can't compete.
187
You make lovin' it now?
188
Freakin', freaking chicken nut.
189
You like me?
190
Give me extra cheese with that, yo.
191
Hey, give me.
192
Let's go.
193
Talk to you.
194
Get outta here.
195
Okay, he's not coming back.
196
And now that Ronald was finally taken care of, it meant we can keep promoting.
197
We put these flyers all over local colleges.
198
You gonna be there?
199
Yeah, we be there.
200
I love you, bro.
201
Love you too, man.
202
I love you, bro.
203
High schools, middle schools, and every other place I could possibly think of.
204
And by the end of the day, I knew there was only one place left to hit.
205
The Ops.
206
Hey guys, how's it going?
207
Enjoying the burgers?
208
We're opening a restaurant.
209
It's named McDonald's Sucks.
210
We're just kind of handing these out.
211
It's completely free.
212
You know, a little healthy alternative.
213
Keep it up, brother.
214
Thank you guys.
215
All right, we've converted two.
216
It's named McDonald's Sucks, but we don't want any trouble.
217
I don't know.
218
I'm just gonna leave a few here.
219
And you know, like, I'd love for you to come.
220
I feel good about that.
221
We just spent the entire day putting up flyers.
222
If this fails, we can confidently say that we tried our best.
223
I need some sleep and hopefully people turn up to this thing.
224
With only two days before the grand opening, I was getting pretty worried our orders weren't gonna be ready in time.
225
But luckily, the call started coming in.
226
We took a long drive to pick up our employee outfits.
227
We picked up our shirts.
228
I'm thinking about the turnout of the event, if there's even going to be people there.
229
I'm stressed and worried about the whole thing going to plan.
230
Usually, I cut out the low moments in these videos because I try to keep it as positive as possible.
231
But I thought, I might as well let you guys know even we have our off days,
232
but we're not going to use that as an excuse to quit because we still have a ton of work to do.
233
We're turning out these videos as quickly as possible and with that comes a lot of uncertainty, but we're trying to get to that million subscribers and we're out here grinding as hard as we can.
234
Let's keep this going.
235
Let's keep pushing forward and let's get this restaurant open, baby.
236
And we pushed onward to get our decals.
237
Big shout out to Sinorama.
238
They came in absolutely clutch.
239
Yes, this is perfect.
240
Dude, this is gonna look like a real restaurant.
241
McDonald's sucks!
242
Hamid Okay, good.
243
Yeah All right, thanks bro.
244
We loaded everything into the car and prepared for tomorrow the day before the grand opening This thing's rolling.
245
Good morning guys.
246
We're here outside of of sprouts and we're here to pick up some more ingredients.
247
We got a long day ahead of us, we have a lot to do.
248
Let's get cracka lockin'.
249
First we picked up our 256 beef patties.
250
Bro's got more beef than Tyson and Jake Paul.
251
And then we needed to get a ton of organic potatoes for our french fries.
252
Can we just take a second to appreciate this wonderful woman here that hand counted each and every one of these potatoes.
253
Now I'm gonna let you guys in on a little secret here.
254
This is called beef tallow and it's what McDonald's used to fry their french fries in.
255
It's not only tastier, but it's way healthier.
256
Unfortunately, no surprise here, but McDonald's ended up becoming stingy and now they fry their french fries in this.
257
All of these ingredients.
258
Nasty.
259
Then we got even more potatoes and 250 spring water bottles.
260
This is what 250 water bottles looks like.
261
We then loaded everything into the car and made our way to Irv's to store everything to keep it nice and fresh.
262
And now it was time to cut these potatoes into french fries.
263
We assembled these fry cutters we got on Amazon.
264
It's time to cut our first potato.
265
Hopefully this thing works.
266
It worked.
267
And then we started speed running some potatoes.
268
These fry cutters low key sucked and they kept slipping and getting jammed, which made this process much harder than I anticipated.
269
After the fries were cut, we would throw them in this ice water to get the starch out of the potatoes
270
so they'd get nice and crispy when we fry them.
271
Then we dry them off super well before putting them in the freezer.
272
Watch out, Gordon.
273
You might have some competition.
274
Probably not.
275
That just took three hours, and we're only halfway done.
276
I'm delusional.
277
It's been a long day.
278
It's been a long week.
279
So this is the home stretch, and then tomorrow we're gonna be up bright and early to open up the restaurant.
280
We're gonna take down McDonald's.
281
We ended up cutting potatoes for a total of six hours before we were finally done.
282
We ended off the night by attempting put up some decals.
283
We got our first decal on.
284
It looks so good.
285
We're going to put these up all over the restaurant and slowly transform this place into a McDonald's sucks.
286
And after a bit of decorating, this place was really starting to come together.
287
All right, guys, that's going to be a wrap on today.
288
I am so exhausted.
289
We got like half the restaurant done.
290
I think it honestly looks incredible.
291
One of the security guards walked by and literally thought that it was McDonald's, Which I think is hilarious.
292
I'm super, super nervous for tomorrow.
293
I don't even know if people are gonna show up.
294
That's it, I'm going to bed.
295
All right, today is the day.
296
It's 6 a.m and today is the grand opening.
297
I can't believe I just said that.
298
I'm super nervous and I don't know what to expect, but let's do it.
299
With no time to waste, we made our way down to Irv's to get this place set up.
300
We started by putting up all of the outside decals.
301
We put the fries in the bag, so you don't have to.
302
What up, Jimmy?
303
And then the banner.
304
And to finish it off, we added some final touches.
305
Introducing the world's first McDonald's sucks.
306
This place came out way better than I could have imagined.
307
That looks insane!
308
Oh my gosh, that literally looks like a McDonald's.
309
And it seemed like people were starting to notice our creation.
310
I was like, did McDonald's buy them out?
311
I live on Belmo Island and they had the flyers around me on the farm.
312
Nobody realized it at the time and I went, no, if you look, it's just McDonald's.
313
I started to worry that nobody was going to show up, but regardless, we started firing up the fryers and getting our employees in their outfits.
314
It's currently 11 o'clock.
315
So technically it opens in about an hour.
316
Um, no one has showed up yet, so I don't know if that's a bad thing.
317
Hopefully people start showing up so we can actually serve some burgers.
318
Time was passing without any sign of any customers and I thought we might be screwed here.
319
But then the customers started coming in.
320
Hey, what's your name?
321
I'm Jack.
322
I'm Jack.
323
Oh really?
324
Nice to meet you.
325
Nice to meet you.
326
You're here for the burgers?
327
Yes, sir.
328
Oh, sweet.
329
Yeah, yeah.
330
We're going to start serving in like probably like 45.
331
Okay, for sure.
332
Yeah.
333
And with 30 minutes before we open, the line was looking like this.
334
There's a line of people in there.
335
All right, guys.
336
It's about 30 minutes later.
337
We've acquired quite the line of people.
338
There's probably...
339
You know what?
340
Let me just show you.
341
Come on.
342
Oh my dude.
343
What are we gonna do?
344
Oh my god.
345
What are you doing?
346
Oh, I love you dude.
347
Dude!
348
Dude, it's packed!
349
People lying down the street.
350
Dude, what the...
351
I'm like super excited, but I'm like really overwhelmed.
352
We opened in like what, 10 minutes?
353
So we got ready to cook the first meal.
354
We threw down our grass-fed patty, followed with organic pasteurized cheese, and laid onto Herb's buns with some fresh shredded lettuce.
355
The burger goes in the custom McDonald's Sucks bag, and the seasoned beef tallow fries are thrown in as well.
356
And to top it off, a spring water bottle.
357
This is definitively the highest quality fast food meal there is.
358
And just like that, the first meal was served.
359
But the question is, how does it taste?
360
Out of ten?
361
Yeah.
362
Nine, for sure.
363
We started serving meals at a rapid pace, one happy customer after another.
364
This is really f*ing good.
365
Maxwell burger.
366
Peaseless, exploding in my mouth.
367
Pause.
368
It's better than the burgers my boyfriend makes at home.
369
Oh!
370
What did you say?
371
Oh, no, nothing.
372
She was saying, like, you make the best burgers, dawg.
373
Okay, thank you.
374
We've been open for an hour, and I don't even think we're like a quarter way through the line.
375
So I'm starting to get pretty worried about if we're gonna be able to serve everybody and how long it's gonna take.
376
Then somebody special showed up.
377
Santa Cruz Medicinals.
378
The same guy that helped us out by putting up that story post.
379
Funny enough, I happened to watch this dude's content before we ever reached out to him.
380
So we had to get him a burger.
381
He was one of the first health conscious people I ever followed or watched online.
382
So I accredit this dude to a lot of the inspiration for this actual restaurant.
383
Hey now, I would never eat McDonald's.
384
This is grass-fed beef, this is pasteurized cheese.
385
Dude, I will eat this for sure.
386
That's a 10 out of 10.
387
Let's go!
388
We kept serving these meals and the people were loving it.
389
Now this turnout is better than anything I could have ever hoped for, but I didn't realize how far people would actually go just to get one of these meals.
390
Where'd you come from?
391
Captain Valley. For burgers?
392
Yeah, he goes out Balboa here and he hands it out a flyer.
393
And that's how you found this?
394
Yeah, yeah.
395
It must have been us.
396
I wonder if we have the clip.
397
I bet we have a clip panning a flyer to you somewhere.
398
You look a little familiar.
399
I think it was you.
400
Okay, let's go!
401
That tastes real.
402
It was worth the wait.
403
What was it, like two hours?
404
We drove an hour to get here.
405
It was worth it.
406
We started to get pretty low on meals at this point, but luckily the line was much shorter now, so we kept serving in hopes that everyone would get a burger.
407
Where are we?
408
I showed up.
409
You're for the McDonald's!
410
No, dude!
411
We're opening a restaurant.
412
It's named McDonald's Sucks.
413
I really respect the UK.
414
We are fighting against McDonald's.
415
We have officially turned a real-life McDonald's customer into a McDonald's sucks customer.
416
Is it better than McDonald's?
417
Way better.
418
Yes, baby, let's go!
419
As we serve the final customers, some relief came over me and all I could feel was thankful.
420
Everything is going pretty well.
421
Hopefully we have enough burgers.
422
I'm hoping everything continues to go well.
423
I'm kind of just...
424
Yo, what the...
425
Yo, Ronald!
426
Yo, Ronald!
427
Hey, come here!
428
All right?
429
Yeah!
430
Keep walking.
431
Keep walking.

Guys, as epic as that all was, this war isn't over.
454
I'm gonna be honest with you guys, my relationship with food hasn't always been the best.
455
When I was stressed, I'd eat junk food.
456
When I was lazy, I'd eat fast food and when I was craving, I'd eat candy.

I felt out of shape and just disappointed in myself.

And I'm telling you guys this honestly, this was a genuine struggle that I had in my daily life.

And I hope that you guys will join me on this journey.

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.
