1
how long could you secretly work at a mcdonald's in order
2
to find out i'm going undercover in cia level makeup to see
3
if i can survive a 12 -hour shift before anyone realizes i'm an imposter
4
and my first day on the job starts right now
5
all right i'm gonna try and get behind the counter here we go
6
oh my god hello how's it going I think we're staring, I need to find somewhere private,
7
okay this is not going to work,
8
excuse me, sorry Hey, I think this might be my only option Alright somehow nobody has stopped me yet,
9
my disguise is working which is a good thing
10
because I'm not only going to be face to face with these employees But they're all expecting me to know this job,
11
because Patrick, the owner, told every single employee that I'm an experienced fast food worker.
12
I get a lot of work with chicken.
13
Which meant nobody here knew I was secretly working with zero training, and to stay undetected, my new alter ego is Ricky Filet.
14
Ricky Filet.
15
I'm gonna go back out there and start doing stuff.
16
I have not been trained at all.
17
However, the managers must have smelled blood in the water because suddenly, they were closing in on me.
18
You're going to be working with us?
19
That's right.
20
Yeah?
21
I'm Ricky.
22
Hey, Sidney.
23
Hey, Sidney.
24
Good to meet you.
25
And that's when I made eye contact with the big boss himself.
26
Hey.
27
Nice to meet you.
28
Great to meet you.
29
Ricky Filet.
30
What's your name?
31
Hiran.
32
Hiran.
33
Yes.
34
All right.
35
Nice to meet you.
36
Great to meet you.
37
We want to go directly to the position.
38
Okay.
39
And since Hyron thought I was an experienced fast food worker, he put me straight to work on my first job.
40
Alright, here we go.
41
Oh yeah, no problem for Ricky Filet.
42
Should we do these as well?
43
Yeah, let me bring another one because that one's already dirty.
44
Yeah, what about that?
45
I mean, I'll go back with you right now, okay?
46
Yeah, yeah.
47
Now, Hyron would only be gone for a few minutes, which meant I had just enough time to explain my goal to you guys.
48
Now, there's a reason why I am trying to be the greatest employee on planet Earth.
49
I am trying to become the employee of the month here.
50
Managers like Hyron decide the employee of the month based off of the four original McDonald's values.
51
So I've cooked up the most genius plan to check off all four of these values while remaining completely undetected.
52
Starting with cleanliness.
53
And what says cleanliness like hiring a professional team of cleaners to pose as regular customers
54
and secretly clean this entire restaurant for me without a single employee noticing?
55
Starting with the tables.
56
for my plan to work i just had to keep hyrone distracted
57
and hopefully impress him with some cleaning skills of my own oh it looks
58
so much better what do you think oh basically uh you
59
can see right here you see mm -hmm oh yeah you see yeah yes
60
so it's a little like details uh -huh turns out i am terrible at cleaning tables
61
and i was leaving a horrible first impression on my new boss.
62
Meanwhile, on the inside, my crew had just finished cleaning tables without getting caught.
63
But their next task wouldn't be so easy, since there's not really a sneaky way to mop the floor.
64
That is, unless some genius gave them the perfect tools.
65
Mop shoes.
66
I found these myself, it's like a mop and a sh - And to keep Hirone outside,
67
I pointed out all the trash in the parking lot yeah look at this yeah you see trash already
68
and my plan worked perfectly because he didn't hesitate to put me to work
69
which allowed me to keep him exactly where i wanted him
70
and to keep his mind as far away from
71
that lobby as possible i asked him for some advice
72
so what do you think the key to cleanliness is
73
but i was not ready for what came next you see
74
the detail you want to find out a lot of things to details you know what i'm see
75
This man went on about details for a full 30 minutes Makes sense why you're the manager Attention to detail,
76
attention to detail And my distraction bought the cleaners just enough time
77
Because they had scrubbed that floor
78
so clean You could eat a Big Mac off of it
79
While I was taking my sweet time cleaning this parking lot Until Jairoan threatened to ruin my entire mission All right,
80
so we're going back to the lobby.
81
Okay.
82
I panicked and sent my cleaners to the one place Jairoen would never be able to find them.
83
The women's restroom.
84
And Jairoen walked right by the restroom without suspecting a thing.
85
But right after we hung up my broom for the day, he wanted to talk to me outside.
86
But right now, like I said, take a 10 -minute break.
87
Just come back to me and we're going to continue.
88
Okay.
89
Here we go.
90
Employee of the month right here.
91
You are.
92
All right.
93
But a true employee of the month would never stop grinding.
94
He thinks I'm going to take a break, bro.
95
So I spent my 10 -minute break working with my crew harder than Ronald McDonald himself.
96
And after making sure this place was completely spotless, the cleaners walked right out the front door without any of the employees suspecting a thing.
97
Which meant the only thing left to do was to take credit for their work.
98
I did some cleaning out here on my brick.
99
It looks really really good.
100
Yeah, it looks good, right?
101
Oh, yeah
102
Now that I had proven myself they decided to give me a little bit more responsibility This is the chicken fillet yeah,
103
I was named after the fish fillet
104
Working the register was the perfect job for me to provide value
105
Which basically means giving the customers the most amount of food for the least amount of money
106
and my Genius plan was to give every customer their food for free,
107
but to pull this off I had to lie my way into taking control of the register I have yeah, yeah, yeah, not exactly this at a different place But yeah,
108
but in case you forgot I had a zero training at this job
109
but I couldn't let them know that I was an imposter
110
so I harnessed my inner iPad kid
111
and within 30 minutes I was ringing up customers so well
112
that homegirl left me alone at my station which was perfect
113
because I have the mainframe in front of me
114
and I will use this to deliver value to the people by giving them these fake McDonald's coupons
115
which they could use to get Literally anything for free and that's when I saw the first customer.
116
I wanted to give a free meal to it boss boss
117
Actually have one of these you can literally get whatever you want on the menu.
118
What would you like?
119
Literally anything
120
Chicken Caesar now I was trying to keep this whole operation low -key
121
because technically I was not allowed to be doing this What kind of drink you want?
122
Say look anything else
123
anything you want whatever this is yeah yeah easy
124
but then out of the corner of my eye i spotted
125
miguel one of the head honchos of this place beelining it
126
straight towards me to investigate what i was doing just like how i'm going to investigate you for not hitting
127
that subscribe button already listen every 1 million subscribers this channel
128
gains i have to do whatever the top comment says i've
129
already snuck into the white house next up is area 51 i have to legally change my name to Diddy
130
and the new one climbing Mount Everest.
131
I'm so cooked.
132
It would mean the world if you hit subscribe for Ricky Filet
133
and drop a comment below because your idea might be the next thing I'm forced to do.
134
Thank you.
135
No problem.
136
Yeah, there you go.
137
Have a good one.
138
Somehow Miguel completely bought it.
139
I think my coupons look so official
140
that he just decided to play along this is a free meal thank you
141
and it didn't stop there i kept giving all of these
142
customers free meals delivering value better than any employee ever had
143
and to make sure mcdonald's didn't lose any money i covered every meal myself
144
because that's what an employee of the month would do
145
and before i could even blink i was thrown into my
146
next job the burger line this was no place for an employee with zero training
147
and somehow i had to check off quality here
148
which meant getting every customer's order 100 right
149
and unfortunately for me a mcdonald's kitchen is exactly as confusing as it looks there's drawers
150
and buttons everywhere not a single label on anything oh one mustard one ketchup oh no
151
and i had to pretend i knew how all of this worked in front of Anna, the general manager, who by the way has the power to decide who gets employee of the month.
152
How hard is it to be employee of the month here?
153
Okay, and there were tons of real paying customers waiting on their food.
154
If I messed up a single order or took too long, it could be the end of Ricky Filet.
155
Oh my god, they're leaving me alone back here.
156
I'm so cooked.
157
I'm so unbelievably cooked.
158
Want McChicken?
159
And it took me less than 10 seconds to ruin everything.
160
Plain.
161
Plain means no condiment.
162
I'm doing a bad job over here.
163
I was single -handedly slowing down the entire McDonald's and everyone in the kitchen knew it.
164
No onions.
165
Okay.
166
I'm gonna start over on these.
167
Yeah, that was silly of me.
168
There was a line of customers waiting and the other employees knew I was to blame.
169
And that's when Jairoen came up to me and told me the words I never wanted to hear.
170
What'd you say?
171
Okay, okay, okay.
172
Uh, is it possible to try a couple more?
173
I'm like so close.
174
They're trying to kick me out of the kitchen right now.
175
It's not gonna happen.
176
I am dying out there on that line.
177
So it's a good thing that I've planned for some backup.
178
Clearly I couldn't make these burgers myself, so I called the guy who basically invented them.
179
Mike Horrocks was a McDonald's corporate chef for years, so if anyone knew how to make the perfect McDonald's burger, it was him.
180
I helped develop some of the menu items that are served at McDonald's, so you called an insider to help?
181
Very smart.
182
The plan was simple.
183
Mike and Joshua Weissman, one of YouTube's biggest chefs, were going to watch what I was doing and coach me through this earpiece,
184
He's telling me exactly how to make the highest quality food this McDonald's has ever seen.
185
Oh, and it's prime time, so you're in the middle of service, so we cannot mess anything up or it's bad news.
186
I was praying these guys could save me from looking like an absolute imposter.
187
Two cheeseburgers?
188
Yes.
189
Okay.
190
All right, get your paper.
191
Two of them.
192
Get those buns in.
193
Regular cheeseburgers.
194
You got the heel and you got the crown.
195
The crown goes on the top, heel the bottom.
196
All right, yeah.
197
All right, ketchup, mustard, done.
198
Just a little bit of boink.
199
Another boink.
200
And the employees quickly started to notice.
201
Ricky Filet could suddenly cook.
202
All right, here we go.
203
Pickles.
204
One pickle.
205
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
206
Time, it's taken way too long.
207
Boss is gonna get mad.
208
They're already mad.
209
No, sorry, I'm just talking to myself.
210
And with the help of my new senseis, I had officially made my first quality burger.
211
There we go.
212
Oh my gosh.
213
But then immediately came an order for the most complex burger on the menu.
214
Okay, one big next.
215
One Big Mac.
216
Oh, this is the Big Dog.
217
Oh, I've never met a Big Mac before.
218
I can do this, though.
219
If they were ever going to find out I wasn't a real employee, it was going to be right now.
220
And while I try my hardest not to get caught, I wanted to let you guys know how easy it is to buy and sell on Whatnot,
221
who's giving away 20 Nintendo Switch 2s to you guys.
222
So we're gonna go Big Mac sauce.
223
What else would I do?
224
The bottom is the one slice of cheese.
225
The top is the pickles.
226
What not is the number one live stream shopping app where you can buy sell
227
or auction literally anything You won't be finding this beautiful Big Mac on there
228
But you can buy a Pokemon cards sports cards Funkos electronics Legos candy
229
and more literally people are selling meat and seafood Oh brother, this guy stinks!
230
And then what else?
231
Meat Okay, so I put one of these here?
232
Yeah Oh my gosh, okay.
233
They're trying to kick me off the line.
234
I'm too inefficient You've got this.
235
I do not give up.
236
So with my job on the line, I had to prove I knew what I was doing.
237
Deluxe crispy.
238
Yep.
239
You got to make the noise when you deposit the thing.
240
So pop, pop, pop, pop.
241
Unironically, I've been buying a ton of sports cards on this app, but I've been thinking about adding to my Pokemon collection.
242
Three tomatoes.
243
You got to say I'm McLovin' these tomatoes.
244
I'm McLovin' these tomatoes.
245
It's so easy.
246
We're going to bid on these cards.
247
Here we go.
248
Here we go.
249
Here we go.
250
Here we go.
251
Bang, bang.
252
I'm going to try to win some candy.
253
It's so easy.
254
Bang, bang, bang, I won.
255
I literally got all of that for $9.
256
I need you to hide, like, six or seven pickles.
257
Yeah!
258
You did the thing!
259
Now, to win one of the 20 Nintendo Switch 2s, all you have to do is download WhatNot and follow WhatNot on the app.
260
Boys, that might have been the greatest sandwich I've made the entire time.
261
You're getting employee of the month, minimum.
262
Wait for this reveal, boys.
263
You ready?
264
But every single person who scans the QR code on screen and uses my link gets $15 off your first purchase.
265
15 dollars in your account and a chance to win a switch to just scan the code show it
266
rick -fil -a's got the sauce i was cooking literally
267
and finally feeling like employee of the month material
268
and i wasn't gonna stop until someone dragged me off
269
that line 30 minute break yes okay how did i do
270
uh did i do a good job okay okay okay okay ricky flay
271
but right as i was about to take my break jiron stopped me
272
and i knew something had to have gone wrong i leave
273
me in a couple minutes okay okay he still didn't know i was an imposter
274
but my mentor the man who taught me everything i know
275
about this place was abandoning me i want to say thank
276
you for coming you've done an amazing job for you to be
277
so patient i really appreciate it 10 out of 10 jiron might just be the greatest manager of all time.
278
But with him gone, I was on my own.
279
And Anna was about to assign me my most difficult job of all the night.
280
We're going to be presenting now.
281
Oh, presenting.
282
Okay.
283
In other words, I was going to be working the drive -thru, the biggest responsibility you could possibly have at McDonald's.
284
You've been here with me for a while.
285
Yeah.
286
But this was also the perfect opportunity to check off service, meaning giving customers the fastest and friendliest experience possible.
287
And my plan was to completely over deliver on service.
288
But first I had to learn this job so I wouldn't get caught as the imposter I was.
289
I do.
290
And let me tell you, I was trying my hardest to fake it till I make it.
291
I think it's this way.
292
Yep.
293
Got it.
294
There's the coffee.
295
Working this drive -thru, I basically had the same amount of aura as a default skin from Fortnite.
296
And even though I have zero idea what I was doing, the drive -thru seemed pretty simple at first.
297
Okay, don't worry.
298
We'll hold this down.
299
But the second my next order came in I realized this
300
was genuinely the single most exhausting job in this entire McDonald's
301
because not only do you have to remember Every order and memorize hundreds of different drinks,
302
but the more I messed up the more the real employees started watching me No No, that's what it goes just like that.
303
That's it.
304
Yeah.
305
Okay.
306
Great.
307
Glad you stopped me.
308
Here you go.
309
Put in the drink.
310
I think this is the right button.
311
Okay.
312
Thank you.
313
Enjoy.
314
And things only got worse.
315
Easy brother.
316
Have a good one.
317
What happened?
318
We were missing the cookies.
319
I was getting cooked by this job and employee of the month was starting to feel impossible.
320
But if you know Ricky Filet, he always has a plan.
321
You see, in every movie that has a fancy restaurant scene, they're always handing out luxurious hot towels to give that five -star experience.
322
So for level one, I secretly brought in my friend Will, who's posing as a butler to hand out hot towels to every customer in the drive -thru.
323
Hello, madame.
324
I don't want to delay you too much, but tonight we're giving out hot towels.
325
Here is your hot towel complimentary on Ronald McDonald.
326
And to the both of you, have a macktastic evening.
327
Will was giving excellent service outside, but at the window, the same could not be said for me.
328
So on this one, I said no cheese.
329
Four McNuggets.
330
Four McNuggets.
331
One McDouble.
332
There's food.
333
Okay.
334
But while I was trying to not get fired, every employee suddenly came to the front.
335
And that's when I realized my drive -thru butler was in their crosshairs.
336
What's happening?
337
I seen that guy with a tuxedo on.
338
I thought he was like, look at him, get on sappled.
339
They said he's giving away hot towels.
340
And while every employee in this McDonald's stared at Will.
341
I want to talk to whoever's been staring at this screen, because I want to give one of you a six -figure opportunity to edit some of the biggest projects on YouTube.
342
So if you are obsessed with YouTube and a certified sauce god at video editing,
343
hit the link in the description and apply to join the SEAL Team 6 of video editors.
344
I'm excited to see what you cook up.
345
That's kind of nice for the customers, I guess.
346
Please don't kick him out.
347
Now that Will was the center of attention for the real employees, I needed him to lock in and take this experience up a notch before anyone could stop him.
348
27, 57.
349
47, 57?
350
No. 27.
351
Let me assist you.
352
She's saying 2757.
353
That'll be it.
354
Thank you.
355
First of all, thank you.
356
Thank you, sir.
357
No problem.
358
Will the butler was providing the definition of a five -star experience so good customers couldn't believe it Yeah,
359
we're handing out towels now Is it nice didn't enhance your experience?
360
Okay, meanwhile will only had one towel left and he saved it for his favorite employee.
361
Hello, madam I've got one hot towelette left and I figured you've earned it more than anyone.
362
Would you like it?
363
There you are
364
Somehow, I wasn't unemployed yet, but my butler had officially run out of towels, which meant it was time for level two, hiring a professional car wash crew to clean customers' cars
365
and deliver s -tier service boys catch whoa whoa whoa got a spot on the roof here
366
if you can see right oh yeah perfect
367
and these boys started hustling immediately washing Every car
368
that pulled up to the drive -thru and pretty quickly people started to love the service All right,
369
give me a raise more like give me that employee of the month
370
because suddenly I was serving this drive -thru like I'd worked here My whole life.
371
We got a McFlurry and we have a small coke.
372
Is that right?
373
All right.
374
Have a great night I have four McNuggets a hot and spicy McChicken.
375
There you go Thank you so much, you have a good night.
376
You too.
377
And while I was handling business in the front, Hi, what's up, what's happening here for you? there was a party in the back.
378
Hello, can I get an orange green, please?
379
Yeah, what's that?
380
Let's do the medium.
381
I am telling you guys, we were turning this into the best McDonald's in America, and nothing was stopping me from employee of the month.
382
Or, so I thought.
383
What's going on today?
384
What do you mean?
385
This is such a weird day here.
386
What's happening?
387
I don't know what we know what the wind has to need and all that.
388
Did it increase your service?
389
Increase my service.
390
I don't know what that means.
391
Very hard.
392
I'll come another day.
393
I wasn't allowed to check off service until every customer drove away happy.
394
I couldn't figure out what else I could do to provide excellent service.
395
But while I was on my final break, I realized the answer to amazing service was standing in front of me all day.
396
Details make the difference.
397
It doesn't make sense why you're the manager.
398
Attention to detail, attention to detail.
399
Jiron had been giving to me all day.
400
Giving me his time, giving me his lessons, and literally giving me my meals.
401
It was genuinely the best example of service imaginable.
402
Which meant on my 12th hour of working, I decided to give back as well.
403
Yo, are you guys Dodgers fans at all?
404
Yes sir, yeah.
405
For being great McDonald's customers, I want to give you guys two Dodgers tickets.

What You'll Learn from This Real-Life Dialogue
This video is a goldmine for IELTS speaking practice and everyday conversation skills. You’ll pick up how to handle unexpected interactions—like introducing yourself ("I'm Ricky Filet") and navigating on-the-job small talk ("Good to meet you"). It also teaches you to think on your feet, a key skill for impromptu speaking tasks. Plus, the casual tone helps you practice natural phrasing, not just formal language—perfect for real-world chats.
Listen For These Sounds: Connected Speech in Action
Native speakers rarely speak in isolated words, and this dialogue is full of linking and reductions. Notice how "I'm gonna try" becomes "I'm gonna try" (linking "gonna" to "try") and "what about that" sounds more like "whaddabout that" (reducing "what about" to "whaddabout"). These small changes make speech flow, and training your ear to catch them will boost your listening comprehension—essential for shadowing practice. Use a shadowing app or shadowing site to replay these lines and mimic the connections.
Say It Like a Native: Rhythm and Stress Tips
To sound natural, focus on the speaker’s rhythm. He stresses key words like "secretly," "survive," and "employee of the month" to emphasize his story. Notice how short phrases like "Oh my god" and "Alright" are spoken quickly with rising intonation, showing surprise or determination. Try shadow speak—repeat the lines aloud right after the speaker, matching his pace and stress. A shadowspeak tool can help you compare your rhythm to his, so you’ll learn to pause and emphasize like a pro. This isn’t just about pronunciation—it’s about making your speech feel alive, just like in the video.
Practicing with real conversations like this helps you move beyond textbook English. Whether you’re prepping for IELTS or just want to chat more smoothly, using a shadowing app and focusing on these details will make a big difference. Start small: pick one line, replay it, and shadow it until it feels natural. You’ve got this!

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
