Hi!
2
My name is Andy Richter and I feel resentful
3
that it took me to be on Dancing with the Stars for Conan O 'Brien to remember that I'm his friend.
4
Oh and I'm not offended at all
5
that there's a hitch in your voice after Conan because you were searching for my last name.
6
After we've known each other since the summer of 1993.
7
I know, I know.
8
After Conan O 'Connell.
9
It's just because it's, it's, it's just an Irish thing.
10
I understand.
11
They all look alike.
12
You, I'm gonna keep this.
13
This is a very special episode.
14
Yes.
15
Where we talk about kleptomania.
16
No, this is a very special episode because you're on Dancing With Stars.
17
I am fascinated with what goes on at these reality shows.
18
And this is one of the big ones.
19
And I know I've brought in, I wouldn't even allow, I fired Matt Gourley and I brought in, I brought in David Hoppin because David loves all reality shows.
20
Well, something good has already come from this.
21
He's not...
22
Fuck you, Gourley!
23
Oops.
24
Who's gonna force James Bond into the conversation?
25
Me talking to an A -list star.
26
I understand you just had a battle with cancer.
27
Yeah.
28
The third James Bond?
29
Terrence Billick?
30
Yeah.
31
Tropic of Cancer was an alternate title for Moonbreaker.
32
It was originally Jawbreaker about a candy, but they changed it.
33
Listen, you're gonna listen to me.
34
I am.
35
We have been good friends and Confederates.
36
I like to use the word Confederates.
37
Yes, yes.
38
Because we've been involved in many, many heists.
39
It's my secret Confederate, Andy Richter.
40
We've known each other a long time.
41
You're doing this show, and we can talk about other things as well, but I brought you in here cause I thought, I said, get me Andy Richter.
42
And they said, he doesn't want to come on.
43
And then we met your friend.
44
I'm here twice a week.
45
I know you're here all the time.
46
It's ridiculous.
47
But anyway, I want to know, first of all, I was watching you do your routine the other night and I was thinking,
48
I couldn't remember all of that.
49
I just couldn't remember.
50
You could.
51
I would go, my mind would go blank.
52
Whenever I've had to do any choreography, I've told them, you need to keep it to three moves.
53
Like I'm an old pony.
54
On Andy Richter Controls the Universe, they had, and it was very, and I objected to it because I just thought it was kind of hacky and overdone.
55
They had a fantasy musical sequence that they wanted to break into.
56
And I was like, really?
57
Okay.
58
And they said, yeah, we're going to have and it'll be choreographed dancing.
59
And I said, and just because I was exploiting being number one on the call sheet, I was like, I will come in at the end and do jazz hands,
60
but I will not do anything else.
61
Because anytime I had had to learn choreography, Hulk smash, I'd get so mad,
62
you know, like, oh, I've seen Hulk smash.
63
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
64
And I just, I'd get so furious because I couldn't get it from here to there.
65
Yeah.
66
And also, Jen, my wife, reminded me that on our wedding, she said, like, you know, what about our dance together?
67
And I was like, shortest song possible.
68
And that was my only, there was no, like, let's go to Arthur Murray and learn something.
69
I was like, no, I don't want all those eyes on us for that long.
70
So don't you feel, I know you're not.
71
You went on dancing with the stars.
72
I know.
73
That's what I'm thinking right now is that there is a God, and he watched all that and said,
74
He shall go on Dancing with the Stars Here's your hubris It's an email from your agent Oh no
75
Yeah no in April I got I got an email
76
About doing it About being
77
Here's your invitation to be on Dancing with the Stars
78
And I was home at the time It was in the morning
79
And honest to god my first reaction was Turn it down
80
and don't tell anyone Like don't let anyone know
81
That I've been asked like because they'd be like why wouldn't you do it
82
and it's like
83
because you know crabby baby does not want to be pushed out of his comfort zone basically is the long
84
and short of it
85
but of course like within two seconds i was like i
86
have to do this yeah i have to do this it looks like fun it is pretty fun yeah
87
and i'm also it's like i'm 58 years old i got
88
problem knees i you know uh all kinds of stuff going
89
on as a side note just you should be dancing on television yes exactly
90
i got but but and also too what's even better is
91
that like in this was april i said yes
92
and then like in july they figured out what all the leg pain
93
and stuff had been going on is
94
because i need a hip replacement oh wow so i need a new left hip But, and I was like, hey, you know, the minute I was like, I'm supposed to be doing Dancing with the Stars,
95
which was a violation of the NDA.
96
And I could have been fired to tell my doctors.
97
But they're like, yeah, you should be all right.
98
And they, you know, I got like some kind of injection that was supposed to sort of help.
99
And it did help.
100
But like, I'm going to, this is like a big bond voyage to my old arthritic hip.
101
You know what I think?
102
Because this is what comes to mind
103
because I'm always trying to game the system and I very much want you to do well on this show.
104
You've got judges that are looking at you.
105
Yes.
106
And I think you should begin every number with us.
107
There's a silhouette of someone walking out and it's your orthopedic surgeon.
108
Yeah.
109
And he has actual imaging of your decrepit hip.
110
On the big screen.
111
On the big screen.
112
It's my MRI.
113
It's your MRI.
114
And he says, as you can see here, there's the flaring of the joint where the bone slips into the socket and we've lost too much calcium there.
115
It's cracked.
116
And so this man, and that should be like a golf handicap.
117
They should add 15 points.
118
Yeah, absolutely.
119
Like instead of the tape package about me and Emma practicing, it should just be like,
120
his hip bone has always, or his femur has always had an impingement, which means that it's not spherical.
121
It's egg -shaped.
122
So his entire life, it's been like building up and like, you know, like bone on bone rubbing against each other.
123
But also, your surgeon should be doing commentary as you're dancing.
124
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
125
Well, that's a major load -bearing move.
126
The pain he's reaching now would be at least an eight.
127
Yeah.
128
If ten is visibly uncomfortable, he's at an eight.
129
Right now, he's at a nine.
130
Now he's at a two.
131
Because he's just twirling around the dance floor.
132
Yeah, he's twirling.
133
And I mean, do you think about it?
134
That would I think that would be a hero.
135
I just seem like powering through it and just and it does.
136
I do take solace in the fact that like the people who are much younger than me, which is everybody, but the ones that are even much younger than me in their 20s are like my legs hurt.
137
My knees hurt.
138
I go home and, you know, and just ache.
139
And I certainly do at night.
140
It's like I lay in bed and it just hurts, you know, so it's just lots of Advil and ice and, and, um, and that's it, you know, but I, uh,
141
I, I, I didn't want to do it, but then I thought, no, I need to do this.
142
I need, I need to do this like just to get moving.
143
And, and I, it got me to go to the gym and do cardio, which I loathe, uh,
144
started to do a lot more stretching just to kind to prepare myself and
145
and then like the week before i met my my partner
146
i was like having stress dreams i was just dreading it
147
and just felt like crap for the whole week before just like
148
like kind of crabby to my family and stuff
149
but i signed up for it i was going to do it um was terrified
150
that i was going to get injured that i just wouldn't be able to do it like you said.
151
Yeah.
152
Like, I'm not gonna be able to remember all that.
153
I'm not gonna...
154
Yeah.
155
And then would have to like pull out and be embarrassed as one is when one pulls out.
156
And I didn't think you'd go there.
157
I did though.
158
I thought, nope.
159
Andy's before.
160
I thought of it and I...
161
You know what?
162
I thought of it and I let it go.
163
Oh, that is bad.
164
That's how low this is.
165
That is bad.
166
Thought of it and pulled out.
167
Sounds like my wedding night.
168
You did it though.
169
Pulled out and I was embarrassed.
170
You still did it.
171
I did it afterwards.
172
I know.
173
So now I win.
174
Oh, exactly.
175
I'm guilty and you're innocent.
176
That's right.
177
Enjoy your jam while I get on my victory yacht.
178
This is all happening in my head.
179
Yeah, yeah.
180
But then I luckily was paired with just a sweet angel of a ballroom dancer.
181
Her name is Emma Slater.
182
Emma Slater.
183
She seems lovely.
184
She's fantastic.
185
And there were so many people around there.
186
like from promo people to security guards to different people, like stagehands are like, Oh, you got the best one.
187
Oh, nice.
188
Yeah.
189
Because she is just so much fun and you are, you rehearse four hours a day, seven days a week.
190
Yeah.
191
Okay.
192
So I'm going to bring up something that I think is your secret weapon.
193
Yeah.
194
Which is you've been making these videos and Emma Slater is in a bunch of them.
195
She, no, Oh, she's the Cecil B.
196
DeMille of our TikTok presence.
197
You've been doing a bunch of videos, and I started watching, I started looking at your videos.
198
I don't know how to access these things.
199
Right, no, I know someone showed them to you.
200
David brought me this.
201
Your dog.
202
My dog brought me what's, I think, called an e -phone.
203
But I was looking at it, I was like, Andy's really funny, and he's making these funny videos, which, you know.
204
did at our late night show thousands of times.
205
And I'm looking at you just be super funny.
206
And I was like, oh, this is great.
207
I mean, if there wasn't, if you didn't even get to do the rest, if they somehow said, no, no, no, we're canceling the dancing part, you're just going to make these videos.
208
I think this is a home run.
209
Yeah.
210
Oh, thank you.
211
Well, I just, you know, I went into the thing, as I said, dreading it, but still resolved to be open, resolved to saying yes, resolved to being compliant.
212
and which is really in these days. But I started...
213
I will not have political commentary on this show.
214
Back to how much Advil you're having and what kind of inflammation you're suffering from.
215
This is a medical show, not a political show.
216
But so, you know, I started doing the rehearsals with Emma and it was like Hulk Smash was there.
217
Like she was trying to just show me like the basic steps
218
and I'd watch her do it and then try to do it myself.
219
And it really was like I couldn't do it.
220
But then slowly as you with repetition and commitment and dedication to not just throwing, you know, throwing a fit and running out.
221
It's like the wiring starts to be built up whether
222
or whether it's like wiring that was there
223
that was like somehow crusted over like it's now you know
224
we're going from the first dance into the second dance
225
and from a cha -cha to a tango
226
and it's easier much easier to learn the second one
227
and i'm assuming it's going to be easier to learn the third one god willing
228
and america willing
229
if you people vote me off you're making a big mistake yeah you know i always find i always find
230
that if you want people to vote for you it's really good to threaten them.
231
Yeah, yeah.
232
Oh, absolutely.
233
Yeah, yeah.
234
I know.
235
You should do it on the show.
236
Yeah.
237
Oh, you better.
238
You better.
239
I know who you are.
240
The doctor can also do that part.
241
The doctor can do that part.
242
My partner on Tuesday, because Bruno, one of the judges gave me a four and they mentioned that.
243
I don't know, four out of what?
244
Four out of ten.
245
Right.
246
It was, I tied with Corey Feldman for the lowest score, but I'm like, I'm 30 years older than fucking everybody.
247
What do you want from me?
248
but when we were up in the skybox with Julianne afterwards
249
and they gave the scores and he gave a four
250
and everybody in the place went boo and I went yeah get him
251
and she said no one has ever done that get him never done
252
that before like told the crowd yeah get the judge yeah you know
253
so I was like oh okay you always know what to say in those situations it's funny you brought
254
that up and you always know what to say in the right situation
255
and I remember one time we were in this studio and you know, we're in 30 Rock and we're in our studio and there's no windows or anything.
256
And it suddenly the power went out and the lights just went, the lights went out and it went like pretty black.
257
Just was like the lights went out, went black and Andy without missing a second went, my pearls.
258
And like old 1930s movie.
259
My pearls have been stolen yet, but you just said my pearls.
260
That's what comes to mind now.
261
Now would you say, get him?
262
Those are the things that are just gonna come out of you.
263
There's nothing that can be done.
264
No, it's like, I don't even, it's not like I sit around going like, now when the lights go out, remember, save my pearls.
265
Right.
266
It just comes out.
267
Yeah.
268
So you slowly, and that's why I said to you, I did slowly learn it and I did slowly kind of get a handle on it
269
and you would be able to do it, but you know, but it is like, I wouldn't be doing this for fun right i'm doing this
270
because i got hired to do it
271
and it's a good you know i've said this too over
272
there you know a lot of you know like a lot of these people you know they're reality stars
273
or they're you know athletes and things
274
and it's like for me this is a tv job i
275
i take all different kinds of tv jobs i've been on all different kinds of tv
276
and i and i'm doing basically the same thing in all of them
277
but i mean not so much when i'm when i'm acting
278
but certainly with these kind of live
279
and live shows i know like okay i understand how all this works i understand how it's put together right
280
and i'm here to serve a purpose of making of adding fun
281
and value to this production right like we'd be doing you know these rehearsals
282
and in some of them should be like you know you gotta sell it more
283
and i was like honey don't worry about me selling stuff you know it's like when we get there, we'll get there.
284
And I know when to make the faces and stuff.
285
But it's like, I'm not going to waste the faces when we're doing it for the 17th time on Thursday.
286
Right.
287
we went into the camera rehearsal on Monday and I saw a tape of it.
288
And what I thought was given them the camera version of selling it, I realized was nothing.
289
It didn't look like anything.
290
So I was like, oh, okay.
291
Tomorrow.
292
Bigger.
293
Got to really go big, big, big without my, my daughter, my older daughter did say, dad, don't smile too much.
294
She's like, don't, you know, like, and I, I know what she means.
295
Well, she's probably saying, because then you're not you.
296
Andy Rickard as you walk around like She's kind of saying that But you also have seen people You know, like They give the 10 ,000 megawatt Like Lawrence Welk dancers
297
Like they always were grinning Like they I don't know You know, like they were in the afterglow I think he would shock them
298
If they didn't He had a big generator out back So, um How scary is it You know, when you're standing there And you're in silhouette
299
And you're facing away from the camera And you know this music's kicking in Is it fight or flight kind of stuff?
300
No No, it wasn't.
301
Can you redo it if something goes horribly wrong?
302
No, it's live.
303
It is really, truly live.
304
It's live.
305
That's scary.
306
They give you a little talk beforehand that like, and I mean, the direction was like, you know, if you're hurt, keep going.
307
Unless like you're really hurt and then you'll put your hand up and then I'll cut away from you.
308
But until you, if you hurt yourself or fall, like, he's like, I want to keep the camera on you And I'm going to keep the camera on you.
309
He said, but if you're like really hurt, raise your hand.
310
And then I'll know to cut away to somebody else.
311
Someone being sawn in half.
312
Somebody eating a human hand.
313
Yeah.
314
But one day, about a week before all four couples that were there at that point, we all did our dance for each other.
315
They call it a show and tell.
316
And it was Baron Davis, Jen Affleck, Danielle Fischel and me.
317
So it's NBA all star, a reality star, one of the Mormon housewives.
318
Danielle was on Boy Meets World and is like was like everybody's teenage crush and me.
319
And so it's like people from different accomplished backgrounds, all being scared kids in front of each other,
320
doing this thing for the first time for somebody other than just their partner and it felt like
321
everyone you know we all cheer for each other
322
when they were all done cheering i was like i said i feel like i've joined a cult yeah
323
because like my heart was singing and i was just like i did it yeah
324
and somebody said now you're gonna have to do
325
that in front of the studio audience
326
and then for on tv in front of people
327
and i kind of felt like well this is this was the bubble being burst like this.
328
I did it here.
329
And so like, okay, now I'm, and I did it right.
330
And I did it, you know, that's the thing.
331
Did I do it right?
332
Did I screw it up?
333
Did I forget anything?
334
And no, I didn't.
335
So I was sort of already ready.
336
And then you get to the ballroom and you have all day Monday where you run it a bunch of times.
337
And then Tuesday, you're in that thing from like 10 AM until 10 PM.
338
Cause afterwards there's all kinds of press and stuff to do.
339
So by the time, like it's my turn to to dance a i was like
340
12 out of 14 i was i was just like let's get this over with
341
and i'd been in the room all day
342
so i was comfortable in the room and comfortable in front of the people
343
so it was kind of just like it wasn't it wasn't hard
344
and i and i knew
345
that i knew what what i was doing there's there is like a moment of hope i remember everything
346
but other than that it's just and i and i
347
and i do love emma so much and we do have
348
so much fun together and she's been so nice and
349
so supportive that i'm also not alone in it like she
350
and i have been cooking up these things for people
351
and then making silly tick tocks on the side
352
so it is it's all pretty fun you know is there a way to harm anyone else
353
that you're competing against oh no because this is where my head would go
354
and i'm not i don't mean physically harm them although
355
if there's an idea for
356
that we'll take it what i mean is is there any way to get in their head
357
or somehow sabotage them
358
or that's not cool i the only thing i've been doing
359
is lead in lunches yeah just a little bit of lead in different lunches
360
but you know it does it's been proven
361
and your your doctor will tell you this it slows down
362
the neural responses yeah yeah i would i would give them the poops what's
363
that i would do something with their lunch and like give them the poops give them the diaries Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
364
Cause they're all wearing really tight costumes.
365
Oh, so you want that to happen, uh...
366
On live TV?
367
Yeah, I do!
368
I want, yeah, I know, I'm, I don't know.
369
Yeah, but then...
370
Oh, but lead is good.
371
Well, lead is...
372
Let's do long -term poops.
373
Well, lead is kind of funnier, cause they just can't, their brain isn't working right.
374
Right, right, right.
375
And it's, and this is long -term damage.
376
Yeah, it's long -term.
377
Oh, absolutely.
378
The poops, they're over it tomorrow.
379
You guys are talking about, like.. permanently impairing these people.
380
But if you shit on TV in front of the millions of people, would you be over it the next day?
381
No. That would scar you for life.
382
But you'd get a sympathy vote.
383
No, people would be just so horrified by the whole thing.
384
Nobody relates to pooping.
385
But they have to raise their hand to cut the camera.
386
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
387
Cut the camera!
388
No!
389
And the director yells out, what's wrong?
390
The poops!
391
It's a -coming!
392
It's a -coming!
393
They would zoom in!
394
And that just cuts to the studio audience.
395
It's a crane shot from outside the studio at ABC.
396
And people are just streaming out, running for their lives.
397
Yep.
398
Well, thanks, Sona, for bringing it around.
399
I'm helping.
400
No. We did say one of the stars, and y 'all can look up who it ever does, just gave birth like four weeks ago.
401
And we have been making jokes about, you know, like the strength of pelvic floor.
402
Oh, boy.
403
And is there urine being sprayed around during tossing?
404
This is the stuff I wanted to get to.
405
Well, I also will tell you, too.
406
I mean, this is the good stuff.
407
Dancers are, like, very physically oriented.
408
And, like, there's not a lot of body shame.
409
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
410
You know, so there's something almost kind of like animal.
411
You know, it's like where it's just a bunch of, like, beautiful, incredible animals that are doing animal -y things, jumping and leaping.
412
And there's no sort of, yeah, there's just very little personal boundaries.
413
Well, they're athletes.
414
They're just great athletes.
415
Absolutely athletes.
416
Yeah, definitely.
417
And also you're holding on to somebody through this whole thing.
418
There's a lot of physical contact, especially because Eastern Europeans, it's just another sport.
419
It's just another, you know, you can be a gymnast or you could be a soccer player or you can be a ballroom dancer.
420
And it is incredibly, you know, athletic and and and sporty.
421
It is.
422
It's you know, it's a it's all competition.
423
So lay it out for me.
424
This will this is going to come out when next was in a couple of days.
425
OK, this is coming out six days from now.
426
So what's your next hurdle?
427
What's it going to be?
428
What's your what's coming up that you have to overcome in order to stay on what I call DW?
429
TS Wow that was good Yeah,
430
I had a lead burger this morning So I'm doing pretty well Uh yeah, we'll have a pizza, lead pizza please?
431
Instead of the pepperoni, yeah, giant lead coins Wait, what was the question?
432
I don't know What's next?
433
Oh, what's next?
434
Yeah We are doing a tango to It's Raining Men, which will have already happened.
435
But as we're speaking right now, how many days out are you from that?
436
This is Thursday, and that'll be Tuesday.
437
Okay.
438
And you said this is airing Wednesday.
439
Right.
440
So my fate will have been decided by America then.
441
But I mean, I kind of feel like I'm remaining very hopeful
442
that I'll stick around for a little bit
443
because I do think like it's a TV show and when people are voting and also, I mean, I, I am again,
444
relying so much on Emma's online presence and her sort of military campaign to get people to vote for us.
445
And I think I'll stick around because I do kind of feel like it is a TV show.
446
And the question isn't like, who's the dancer?
447
It's like, who do you want to see in the TV show? is ultimately what it ends up being.
448
Like, if you're going to watch this show next week, who do you want to see in the TV show if somebody has to go?
449
And like one of the EPs said at one point, and it struck me, was they're asking you to vote for your favorite dancer.
450
Not the best dancer, the favorite dancer.
451
So that can be whatever it means to anybody watching and anybody taking the trouble to vote, which the voting is weird.
452
And I guess I knew this, but I didn't understand it you only vote while the show is on live, which is from eight to 10 on the East coast,
453
seven to nine in Midwest.
454
If you, so that also means here, you got to vote from five to seven, you got to vote three hours before the show airs in order to have your vote count.
455
So if you're watching it on ABC or Disney plus or whatever here in Los Angeles, when you're watching it in the delete tape delay you can't vote
456
so you it's like for people on the west coast
457
and in mountain time if they want to vote they're voting based on their preference from last week, sorta, I guess, because you don't know what the dance is.
458
I thought you were going to reveal that there's like an electoral college too.
459
No, no, no. In some states, there's...
460
People have more electors.
461
Yeah.
462
I was doing interviews today.
463
We rehearsed and then I did interviews and they were saying like, it's a double elimination on Tuesday.
464
How do you feel about that?
465
And I'm like, I don't know.
466
I mean, what can I do?
467
I did as much as I could and I'll do as much as I can, which is...
468
Until every other dancer has diarrhea, you have not done all that you can do.
469
He's on board now.
470
He came on to the diarrhea train.
471
I have come around.
472
Come on, all aboard.
473
Every other dancer's family remains unthreatened.
474
You know, I have not done enough. Or remain...
475
No way.
476
You can always do more.
477
Colin and I can take care of it.
478
We can take care of this.
479
You take care of the diarrhea.
480
I've got some very soft Roman lead.
481
It's from the piping in Rome that brought down the empire.
482
And I am going to be sprinkling that in the other dancers' burritos.
483
You know what I was thinking about?
484
A lot of burritos backstage.
485
I was thinking about if I ever saw you do any choreographed dance, and I remembered your K -pop video, and how you just couldn't really get it.
486
What do you mean I couldn't get it?
487
I killed that thing.
488
I don't know.
489
What do you mean I couldn't get it?
490
Weren't you there?
491
He was having trouble.
492
He kept on like, I feel like you kept forgetting how to do the string dance.
493
I think, I will say, I think you did great in the K -pop video, but you did do an Irish dance where you kicked a girl in the face.
494
You did kick a girl in the face.
495
Well, first of all, she had a, I don't know.
496
What's more Irish than that?
497
Well, you're going to blame her?
498
I'm just saying, she had a little bit of an attitude beforehand.
499
See?
500
Irish.
501
That's how the Irish take care of things.
502
Yeah.
503
No, there is footage of me accidentally kicking a young girl in the head.
504
I remember that.
505
And then we showed it again and again in slow motion.
506
I did bring her out in front of a massive crowd at the Chicago Theater and kicked her again.
507
Such a good prank.
508
Andy, we wish you well.
509
Thank you.
510
And we're rooting for you.
511
How can people vote for Andy and Emma?
512
They can vote for us.
513
And again, you have to do it Pacific 5 to 7 p .m on Tuesdays, East Coast 8 to 10 on Tuesdays.
514
And that is your window for voting.
515
And you can text Andy, A -N -D -Y, it's with a Y, to 21523.
516
And you can do that 10 times per couple, per method of voting.
517
The other way to vote is online to DWTS vote, DWTS vote dot ABC dot com.
518
And there again, you can vote 10 times per couple.
519
So you don't have to vote all for us, but you'd be an idiot not to.
520
That's true.
521
Yeah.
522
Well, Andy, good luck.
523
Thank you.
524
Keep enjoying it.
525
That's key.
526
And take care of yourself.
527
I am.
528
You know, I mean, I'm just worried about your your hip exploding.
529
No, no, no, it'll be fine.
530
And the doctor said, I did say like, yeah, but do I have to, I was like, I just said like, like, am I going to have to worry about like it's snapping at some point?
531
It's like, no, no, no, you'll be fine.
532
Yeah.
533
What does he know?
534
I know.
535
I know you, you didn't go to the best doctor.
536
I did.
537
I did.
538
It's like, yeah, it's a mobile clinic.
539
You tore a piece of paper off a lamppost.
540
Yeah, yeah.
541

542
And I, and I teach bass guitar.
543

544
Yeah.
545

546

547
and right but everybody says that it's a wonderful thing to get done sure
548
that you heal up real well it lasts forever and
549
and the consistent thing that everybody says is i wish i'd done it sooner
550

551
when there's like a medical thing
552
that needs to be done i'm like do it i'm not i don't i'm not avoidant in that sense It's like, oh, okay, yes.
553
I'm that way too.
554
I'm not a guy that's like, you're 90 % blocked in your heart.
555
We'll get to that later.
556
Yeah, yeah.
557
Now I've got a mountain to climb and liquid cheese to eat.
558
Once I'm done with my cheese -a -thon on the Matterhorn, maybe I'll come back and see.
559
All right, Andy Richter, onward and upward.
560
Thank you, thank you.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
