1
Today's Tuesday, and on a normal Tuesday, I would already be on the subway on my way into
2
my co -working space where for the next eight hours i would
3
research write a script edit a video be on calls some combination of those things after
4
that i would go to the gym for an hour then head home
5
and cook dinner with my roommate then maybe watch an episode of something
6
or just hang out then i'd take a shower i'd get in bed
7
and read for about an hour and then I would go to sleep
8
and that is a typical Tuesday but
9
you know what I decided today's not a typical Tuesday
10
because I feel like taking the day off and exercising my free will in New York City let's get started
11
all right guys see this townhouse obviously it looks nice these brooklyn townhomes are nice
12
but it doesn't look insane right well the director of the hunger games just sold it for 10 .6 million dollars.
13
This isn't the point of the video, but while I pass it, I had to tell you.
14
Free will!
15
All right, sometimes I come to a park like this on a Tuesday afternoon, like right now, and I'm like, what are you guys doing?
16
Don't you have work?
17
I know what I'm doing.
18
What are you
19
What are you doing?
20
I'm just kidding.
21
All right, my personal favorite way to exercise free will is to walk really long distances, because why the heck not?
22
But instead of our usual going to Manhattan to explore, Manhattan's that way.
23
We're gonna go somewhere a little more off the beaten path, it's that way.
24
people do this kind of stuff all the time just leaving books out for you to take
25
there were some on that stoop over there too it's so cool
26
all right this is one of the coolest recent discoveries I've made in the neighborhood
27
so this is strong place that I'm walking on no car behind me
28
and this looks like a church right I think at one point it definitely was well now it's condos inside
29
and I looked them up on street easy
30
and they're millions of dollars each they are really really pretty anyways
31
i was walking down the street at nighttime a few days ago
32
and people have their lights on inside and the windows open
33
so you can see right in it's kind of fun to be a looky -loo
34
Daniel Craig and Rachel Weiss just sold this townhouse for $12 million.
35
Public information.
36
after living here for the last five years i would say
37
that the things i enjoy exploring and going out
38
and doing it's changed quite a bit i think
39
when you first move here new york especially
40
but any big city really you're just you're drinking from a fire hose there's
41
so many places to go people to see bars
42
and restaurants to go to
43
but I would say over the last year especially the last eight months I have found
44
so much joy in going to places that are more off the beaten path
45
when you let yourself go sort of a different direction
46
you just stumble on cool stuff like this like I was training for the marathon
47
and then running through all these kind of random back streets
48
and I just stumbled on this it's a public sculpture yard
49
and it's really freaking cool
50
so let yourself go the wrong direction you might find something cool
51
and i think the neighborhood we're going to kind of embodies the whole off the beaten path thing
52
and that's why we're going let's carry on I'm in the house in the corner,
53
and it used to be called the Obama house, because when Bush was president, his helicopter would have to go over here,
54
and we put a big I love Obama sign on.
55
And then the wall disintegrated, so now you'll see what we've had now.
56
The artist who did this one, Jimmy Raskin, and the artist who did the other one was Mark The woman,
57
the third or the second, and my husband.
58
Oh my god, very cool.
59
This is Liz.
60
And we love the neighborhood.
61
I love it too.
62
Over a quarter of a century.
63
Wow, impressive.
64
Yeah.
65
And those are cuts by Frank Cook originally with all the prices.
66
The sculptures?
67
It is so cool.
68
What's the history to the sculpture yard?
69
She and her husband are collectors and promote art.
70
That's so cool.
71
She's a wonderful person.
72
I love it.
73
Thank you for saying hi.
74
I appreciate it.
75
Ah, well, you look great and you're walking great, too.
76
Hi. That is so cool.
77
That woman I was just talking to, Liz Magnus, lives right here.
78
She said so publicly.
79
Good to share this.
80
She's a jazz pianist and she said that when she and her husband moved here many, many years ago, there was absolutely nothing here.
81
And then we'll talk again in a very little bit because we are almost at the neighborhood that we're going to
82
all right guys we made it and i just got a compliment on my shirt
83
which is huge but time for the reveal
84
so the neighborhood we are in is largely known for one thing two things actually
85
The first one is Ikea.
86
The second thing that it's known for is having one of the best burgers in the city.
87
So they say.
88
The neighborhood is called Red Hood.
89
So let me orient you.
90
I printed these maps and they've been crumpled in my bag.
91
This is New York city
92
so we have manhattan we have the bronx we have queens
93
we have brooklyn down here satin island you got
94
it all right good this is a more zoomed in map
95
now in my videos
96
we have by far explored manhattan the most manhattan is sort of the most famous sort of quintessential new york
97
when you think of new york you probably think of manhattan
98
and i lived in manhattan for years
99
and then about eight months ago i moved to brooklyn
100
now brooklyn is also classic quintessential awesome new york in many ways
101
so many good neighborhoods
102
we have three point williamsburg fort green clinton hill prospect heights
103
park slope dumbo brooklyn heights cobble hill all right by each other well you know kind of
104
so where's red hook red hook is all the way down here here's the ikea now it's not
105
that far away
106
but as the new york times put it a couple years ago it's an isolated brooklyn enclave
107
that is resemblant of a forgotten seaside town
108
because the thing is you don't organically pass through red hook
109
there are no subway lines here it's hard to get to
110
and that right there the fact that it is isolated
111
and just so different and far removed from the rest of brooklyn
112
and manhattan that makes it appealing to me
113
but what makes it appealing to others you might ask well let me just show you.
114
Hi, how are you?
115
Good.
116
Awesome.
117
Connecticut lobster roll, please.
118
Thank you.
119
And then let's do the Pilsner on tap, please.
120
Yep.
121
Thank you so much.
122
I would say that peak free will is having a buttery lobster roll with fries
123
and a beer all by myself on a tuesday afternoon in red hook
124
we're living good all right moment of truth because this looks insane oh my god
125
buttery you know i almost got the main lobster roll
126
but it said the connecticut one was poached in butter
127
so i got the connecticut one naturally no man left behind dropped a piece
128
we're eating it have a second roll oh man that is decadent i am intrigued
129
I will take this.
130
Thank you so much.
131
That was really cool.
132
I just popped in Rocco Chocolatier.
133
And I talked to the woman.
134
She just gave me all the rundown on how the extreme lengths they go to to have single origin,
135
ethical sourcing, all that, since the chocolate industry can be a controversial one when it comes to sourcing.
136
So it was cool to hear more about the process.
137
And then I bought a bar.
138
I'll show you.
139
So I am pretty basic with my chocolate.
140
I just like a really standard solid milk chocolate.
141
And most of theirs were a little bit more artisanal.
142
But this, she said, was the closest thing to like a good milk chocolate.
143
I tried it.
144
It tastes more like dark chocolate to me.
145
But I liked it.
146
So I bought a bar and I'm going to share with my roommate.
147
He's going to like it even more.
148
Sharks, the moment you've been waiting for.
149
Red Hook, Brooklyn's most undervalued coastal asset.
150
A whole neighborhood of industrial grip, cobblestone streets, and developable waterfront that the market has criminally underpriced.
151
IKEA made their move here in 2008.
152
What's stopping you?
153
The maritime renaissance is coming, and this is the last frontier of the Brooklyn waterfront.
154
I walked it today so i know all right joking
155
but what if i told you that i made
156
that deck in 20 seconds i did it with gamma a tool
157
that helps professionals from designers to marketing teams to founders build decks in seconds
158
that look professional
159
and visually beautiful as you saw no more banging your head against the wall trying to get things to align
160
i do not miss those days anyway gamma can either generate things from scratch
161
and then you customize it in any way that you want
162
or you can add all of your own info and Gamma helps out with the layout, spacing, and visual design.
163
Or you can just start with one of Gamma's many aesthetic templates.
164
The world is your oyster.
165
So if you never want to stare at a blank PowerPoint again, Gamma has everything that you need to present professionally but without the pain.
166
Click the link in my description to give it a try.
167
Now back to red hook sharks gotcha
168
and this is how you create the layers and yeah so it's like we have to move each layer like back
169
Wow man how long is this
170
it's all art studios so cool i just talked to
171
that guy this is really really neat as i walk around even though things are closed
172
and certain shops are closed you walk down any block
173
and you find communal art spaces or woodworking in that case
174
or leather works
175
or glass works like i've already seen each one of these in such a short amount of blocks too
176
so anyway we're on our way to a really cool one
177
and he just told me where they relocated from where Google Maps shows that it was.
178
And wow, look at this.
179
It's so cool.
180
So remember when I mentioned that
181
Red Hook is really known for two things ikea
182
and one of the best burgers in the city
183
that's here red hook tavern notoriously difficult to get a table at
184
and i played myself
185
i thought coming here party of one on a tuesday afternoon
186
like around 2 p .m weird time right who eats
187
then me sometimes i thought i would have no trouble getting in they don't open till 5
188
so no red hook tavern for me
189
but apparently it's one of the best burgers so they say so i just have to wait for another day
190
so close yet so far let's carry on an old subway car so cool
191
there she is a frontal facing view you don't get
192
that anywhere in manhattan look at her this is actually quite nice
193
i mean it smells like the sea in the best way not like low tide but like the sea.
194
Like you know you're next to the ocean.
195
I can't say I've ever been in New York City and noticed the salty smell.
196
So this is pretty cool.
197
All right, this is one of the most famous of the restaurants here besides
198
Red Hook Tavern, obviously.
199
It is barbecue.
200
I have not been here, but you know where I have been.
201
I'll show you one sec lo and behold brooklyn crab probably the institution
202
that screams come here in the summer when it's hot outside
203
and i came here in february it was actually i think
204
it was below freezing i came with uh two friends
205
we got a pitcher of beer a bunch of crab it was delicious
206
I need to come back when it's actually hot again.
207
So what's the appeal of Red Hook?
208
Well, it's secluded, it's industrial, it's known for its maritime history.
209
It's got old cobblestones, it's a famous historic port, and it's turned so many of these historic warehouses into coffee houses and eateries,
210
and most notably, places for art.
211
I don't think I've ever seen
212
so many art studios in such a short radius of blocks
213
but aside from all
214
that you know what the biggest appeal for me is it's just different it feels
215
so uniquely different a little gritty underdeveloped compared to the rest of the city in a way
216
that I really really love I'm sure
217
that it will look very different in 15 years
218
so I'm glad to be here now exploring it
219
while it has sort of some rough edges still I quite like it
220
and you know what we've been saying for a
221
while we got to go back to Red Hook especially in the summer
222
and today I exerted my free will and did just that.
223
Thank you guys for joining me.
224
Until next time, turtle out.
225
Open invite.
226
Not so open.
227
My roommate is filming this, but he has AirPods in so he can't hear me.
228
I literally just asked him for the shirt off of his back for this, and he was like, yeah?
229
Get yourself a roommate who gives you the shirt off their back.
230
All right, cut.
231
We came here too in February and we got hot toddies.
232
It was fun.
233
Name a better way to exert your free will.
234
I know some of you guys would comment on it if I didn't mention it, but Steve's authentic key lime pie,
235
Red Hook is also famous for, and I got it on that fateful day in February.
236
It was good.
237
I have dinner in two hours though, so can't be having it right
238
now all right cav count of the day one oh that's a good one too yes yes

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.
