1
What do you think about?
2
Are you really in the moment?
3
Do you ever, like, and this is not to diss any, because you've got to once in a while drift off and go,
4
oh, I wonder if this is going on.
5
Do you ever leave that moment and go someplace in your head?
6
You know what?
7
Sometimes, yes.
8
Because, you know, and I catch myself because I'm like, focus, focus.
9
Because if I, like, there are a million different times during that show where I could, like, fall into a hole and break my leg.
10
Yes.
11
Because there are, like, all these different cues, and you have to remember them but sometimes I'll be like, oh, my gosh, cats are so cute.
12
I'd love a cat.
13
Like, maybe I should get a cat.
14
Can they travel on planes?
15
Do they allow cats in hotel rooms?
16
But they're so cute.
17
Some cats like to swim.
18
That's cool.
19
And then I'm like, I'm on stage right now.
20
Like...
21
Congratulations on your two Grammys the other night and a standing ovation.
22
Thank you.
23
How great was that?
24
Thank you.
25
It was like top five best moments of my life, the standing ovation at the Grammys.
26
Top five.
27
Like, first, well, there have been so many wonderful ones.
28
Like, that's so top five.
29
One being with him, obviously.
30
The top four?
31
Yeah.
32
I think, do you, OK.
33
Like, winning album of the year at the Grammys, playing Gillette Stadium, singing with James Taylor, standing ovation at the Grammys, buying my cat.
34
That cat is unbelievably cute.
35
We're going to show pictures of that cat.
36
I am so envious of you having that cat.
37
My cats don't look like that.
38
Oh, wow.
39
No, that cat is the cutest thing.
40
It's a Scottish fold, right?
41
Yeah.
42
It's the cutest cat I've ever seen in my life.
43
And I look at my cats when I go home every day going, why aren't you that cute?
44
They're not as cute.
45
That is, okay, so you brought some video.
46
Just to rub it in my face how cute that cat is, that it's cuter than my cats, you brought a video as well.
47
Yeah.
48
All right.
49
I take a lot of video of the cat.
50
All right, I don't blame you.
51
All right, let's take a look of the video.
52
Oh, this one's called Cat Fail.
53
All right.
54
That's hilarious. And fail.
55
Uh -oh.
56
Oh, no. Oh, no. That's awesome that you take this. And that.
57
So the CD launch is very exciting.
58
Yeah.
59
But can I talk about your new addition to your family first?
60
Yes, you can.
61
Oh, OK.
62
You can do that.
63
So I got a new cat.
64
Yeah.
65
Um...
66
Yeah.
67
Come on.
68
Her name is Detective Olivia Benson.
69
Mm -hmm.
70
She was named after my favorite character on Law & SVU, but it's very confusing for me, because since I named the cat
71
Detective Olivia Benson, she's since been promoted on the show to Sergeant Olivia Benson and it's very confusing for the cat and also for me.
72
Yeah.
73
So do you call her detective sometimes and sergeant sometimes?
74
Usually, well, I actually call her a name that doesn't really make any sense, but her name is, in the house, it's Dibbles.
75
Because it suits her personality more than Olivia.
76
She's like a scrappy little cat.
77
So her name is like Olivia, but it's like her personality's more like, here goes the Dibbles.
78
Like...
79
What?
80
Wait, and we have a video?
81
You brought a video?
82
I did.
83
I brought several videos, um, because I over -prepare, but I'm not sure which one they've chosen.
84
Oh, this is her sleeping.
85
She's a very aggressive sleeper.
86
All right.
87
Everybody kind of sleeps in weird positions, I guess, but...
88
Girls...
89
Come on.
90
Cat is cornering the market.
91
Oh, my God. On weird positions.
92
That is the cutest thing.
93
Taylor and I have been working on a project together where we get to talk about our passion for cats.
94
It's a local access show, and we brought a clip of our first show, and if it's okay with you,
95
we thought we would show it to you right now.
96
It's 5 .55 a .m on Sunday.
97
Welcome to our very first episode of Kitty Corner.
98
on Utah Public Access Channel 843.
99
If you're looking for us, it's just after the music channels.
100
I'm Taylor with a Y.
101
And I'm Ellen with a Y.
102
I'm just kidding.
103
I hope that's okay.
104
It's perfect.
105
I'm so excited we finally get to have our own show, and I want to thank our whole crew here at Channel 843
106
in helping put this show together and as part of your court -ordered public service.
107
Thanks, Paco.
108
Thank you, D -Train.
109
Thank you.
110
Kitty Corner is a show for people who love cats, and we're gonna talk about cats.
111
For example, I'll talk about my cats.
112
And I'm gonna talk about my cats.
113
And we'll answer your questions about cats.
114
Yeah.
115
You can call us with your questions.
116
Well, not now.
117
We don't have a phone yet.
118
But eventually, and we can call it cat calls.
119
Or look what the cat called in.
120
Or it's raining, ringing cats and dogs except no dogs.
121
No dogs.
122
No. Before we go any further, I just want to welcome our newest sponsor.
123
Oh, Flea Gone Collar.
124
Are fleas a problem for your pretty kitty?
125
Then...
126
Get your flea gone!
127
Get your flea gone!
128
Get your flea gone!
129
Get your flea gone!
130
Collar!
131
Collar!
132
Hey, Taylor, did you notice that I had pictures of our cat's frame back there?
133
You did?
134
Yeah.
135
Let's look at them.
136
Okay.
137
Okay.
138
Our cats are so cute.
139
I've got some questions about your cats.
140
Oh, and I've got some questions about your cats.
141
I'll go first.
142
What's the cutest thing your cats ever did?
143
Okay.
144
So Olivia and Meredith have been fighting a lot lately, bickering, you know, second child syndrome or second kitty syndrome, as I like to call it.
145
And so I thought, are these two ever gonna get along?
146
And I was just so worried about it.
147
And the other night, in the middle of the night, I got up out of bed to get a drink of water,
148
and what did I see on the foot of my bed?
149
Is the two kitties snuggling together like they're best friends, but secretly.
150
It's like they've been trying to hide their friendship from me.
151
That was so cute.
152
That's adorable.
153
Oh, I just died.
154
That's so cute. So cute.
155
Yes.
156
Now, I'll ask you a question about your kitties.
157
Where's the cutest place that your cats have ever hidden?
158
Oh, one time, my cat was on the pillow.
159
That's cute.
160
Well, okay, what should we do next?
161
I think I know what you want to do next.
162
I think I know what you want to do next.
163
Let's say it at the same time.
164
Watch a cat video!
165
Okay.
166
What's she doing?
167
What is she doing?
168
Oh, my God, what is she doing?
169
What is she?
170
What am I doing?
171
Hey.
172
Why are you always...
173
What a weird little animal.
174
Oh, that was cute.
175
That was really cute.
176
That's so cute.
177
I just wish we could watch cat videos all day.
178
I know, but unfortunately, it's only a four -minute show.
179
And we can't forget to thank our sponsor, our other amazing sponsor.
180
That's right.
181
Kitty Corner is also sponsored by Carla's Formula cold medicine for cats.
182
Does your cat have the flu?
183
Then...
184
Carla's formula, it works on fevers.
185
Carla's formula, it works on sneezing.
186
Achoo!
187
If your kitty, kitty is coughing.
188
Oh, my heavens, it's almost 6 a .m.
189
And that means it's time to say goodbye.
190
So stay tuned for your Bible lesson and Mexican cooking on holy guacamole.
191
For Kitty Corner, I'm Taylor with a Y.
192
And I'm Ellen saying bye for Meow. For Meow.
193
Bye bye.
194
Did you know French already, or did you learn it for that?
195
I've tried to learn French several times in my life, because I think it's a really beautiful language.
196
It is beautiful.
197
And I definitely made sure that I had native French speakers on set, because I didn't want to butcher the language of love.
198
Like, that's not what I came here to do.
199
Say something in French right now.
200
You're putting me on the spot.
201
But I mean, je suis calm.
202
Ah, thank you.
203
I don't know.
204
What does that mean?
205
It means I am calm.
206
Oh.
207
Je ne peux pas te parler quand c 'est comme ça.
208
Oh, that's good.
209
That's a good one.
210
Thanks.
211
I don't know what that means, but that sounded real French.
212
All right.
213
Because I love cats.
214
OK, let's talk about cats.
215
So was that kitten?
216
It doesn't.
217
So was that kitten just there to be in the video, or did you and then you took it home,
218
or did you put it in the video and it was yours already?
219
He was a little cat actor.
220
He was there.
221
Apparently there was, I didn't know this at the time.
222
All I know is we had to have a kitten in the scene, because I wanted to have the scene where it's like, you know.
223
He gives me a ring.
224
I'm like, no. He gives me flowers.
225
I'm like, no. And then he gives me a kitten.
226
And I'm like, yes, absolutely.
227
You know me clearly.
228
And so they show up with this little kitten.
229
And his handler was like, do you want to hold him first?
230
I was like, absolutely I do.
231
And so they hand me this tiny cat.
232
And I've never really experienced a cat that the second I held this little kitten, he started purring like a motor.
233
And I was like, OK, whose cat is this? you're really lucky whoever owns this cat.
234
And then the girl was like, actually, he doesn't have a home.
235
And then my eyes turned into hearts.
236
Yes.
237
I just immediately was like, I can't think about anything else.
238
And so how did the other two get along?
239
You can't just bring a cat home.
240
Cats don't, they're not like that.
241
They're like little puff balls getting in a fight.
242
It's like marshmallows throwing each other.
243
That's good then.
244
And his name is Benjamin?
245
Benjamin Button.
246
That's right.
247
Right.
248
Because it's an incredible movie.
249
Yes, it is.
250
It's an incredible film.
251
He ages backwards.
252
Yeah.
253
All right, so we're going to take another break, and then we'll come back again.
254
OK, we'll be back.
255
We're back with the only person who loves cats possibly as much as I do, or more.
256
But I think, no, we.
257
I don't want to get in a fight about it.
258
No, but no, we both love cats.
259
Let's just leave it at that.
260
All right, Taylor Swift is who I was talking about.
261
OK, so there's video of your other two cats on the plane, I think.
262
Is that what we have?
263
I think it's just a picture, but it's a good demonstration of just what my personal life looks like.
264
Yeah.
265
It's just, well, that's just Olivia stretching.
266
That's just?
267
That's my middle child.
268
Yeah.
269
She's kind of like a seal.
270
And she just lays on her back?
271
Oh my god.
272
Isn't she amazing?
273
And her tail just never grew.
274
Oh my god.
275
And then she stands up.
276
Here's meerkat.
277
One.
278
Yeah.
279
Get it.
280
She's a really special animal.
281
And that was when she was a baby, meowing.
282
Oh my god.
283
They're just so cute.
284
And now, so you would be, and you're doing the movie Cats.
285
Yeah.
286
So you probably have an advantage, because you probably act more like.
287
I understand them.
288
Yes.
289
Yeah, I study them.
290
Because James Corden had to learn.
291
They went to cat school.
292
We all went to cat school.
293
You have no idea.
294
It was like all my dreams came true on the set of this film.
295
It was like they literally, they're like, you can come to set as much as you want.
296
And I ended up being there every day for four months.
297
Just like, they're all like, oh, Taylor's doing cat school again.
298
Again.
299
She's still here.
300
She's still doing cat school.
301
What did you learn?
302
Well, you crawl around on the floor and you pretend to be a cat.
303
Right.
304
So this was a good excuse that it's OK and not crazy.
305
This was great.
306
I was like, this is my job, guys.
307
I just have to do this.
308
This is my job.
309
And then I'm like, you know?
310
You know?
311
It was great.
312
It was like the best experience.
313
And then I would go to set.
314
So I'd go to cat school in the morning.
315
Then I'd stop by the music department, do a little music, do some voice lessons.
316
And then I'd go to set.
317
And I'd watch
318
Rebel Wilson be a cat, or Idris Elba be a cat, or Ian McKellen be a cat, Judi Dench be a cat.
319
Who's the best out of all those, obviously?
320
I mean, there's got to be one.
321
Everybody's a different kind of cat.
322
That's a political answer.
323
It's, well, it's also the truth, you know?
324
They really all are great cats.
325
They are all different.
326
Yeah.
327
But I bet you have the advantage.
328
I bet you're really a good cat.
329
I mean, I don't, we'll see.
330
I really don't know.
331
I had the best.
332
I had the most fun.
333
Yeah.
334
I had the best time.
335
Name three words to describe yourself.
336
Curious.
337
Cat lover, make it one word.
338
Sure.
339
Romantic.
340
Yes.
341
I would say creative, also.
342
That's nice.
343
Thank you.
344
Yes.
345
Okay.

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.
