They're 13 and 10 There shouldn't be any physical abuse period.
50
Well, don't you get in a car a plane or a train or an automobile
51
And maybe I didn't handle it the way I should have, but that's why I'm here today.
52
Okay, you're here today.
53
Okay, so, you know, next time anybody says they're doing something bad to your children, you dropped everything, and you go.
54
This is it.
55

Twice.

65
I was in an abusive relationship.

I was 500 miles away from my house.
67
What's up?
68
I ended up into an abusive relationship to the point where I was getting eye saccharges.
69
I mean, it was very abusive.
70
So he kept me from my family, he kept me from my friends.
71
What specifically do your girls say that your husband's girlfriend is doing to them?
72
For one instance was that she punched her in her mouth and made her mouth bleed.
73
She smacks them inside their head, smacks him across the face, hits him in the arms.
74
If this is going on, then we need to bring this young woman out.
75
We're gonna your husband's 21-year-old girlfriend, Brandi.
76
And now, I can't believe, I I can't touch her How dare you?
77
Seriously, how dare you?
78
Put your hands on my kids They might touch your kids Then why would they tell me they didn't?
79
You did I don't blame you, they say that you're lying Constantly?
80
They say you're lying
81
Every time they come over they cry and cry
82

A little over a year now.
93
So, she's saying, she's the mother of these children, she's saying you're punching them in the face, that you're slapping them, that you're calling them morons, stupid.
94
You've never done any of it?
95
No!
96
Do you ever put your hands on the kids?
97
If they get up in my face, like, there has been times, And I did admit on the lie detector
98
that your 13 year old got in my face talking to
99
me screaming It doesn't give you a right to put your hands on her.
100
I did not punch her.
101
I tapped her on the mouth.
102
Doesn't matter.
103
Tapped her, punched her, smacked her, flicked her.
104
She's not your kid.
105
You tapped her in the mouth.
106
I wouldn't touch your kids.
107
What do you mean by tapping somebody in the mouth?
108
I tapped.
109
I did.
110
You want to this?
111
Hold on.
112
Hold on.
113
Did you go like this?
114
No, I just tapped her.
115
I did not.
116
Steve, can I tap her in the mouth?
117
No, no, no. Please?
118
Did you hit the other child?
119
The 10-year-old?
120
Yeah.
121
I have.
122
OK, see, it's- But I don't hit them hard enough, like, leaving marks, nothing like that.
123
Oh, you restrain yourself.
124
You use a certain amount of force.
125
No, it's not like that.
126
You shouldn't be putting your hands on it, because they're not your kids.
127
Why are you putting your hands on them?
128
You're 21 years old you're very young yourself.
129
You shouldn't be putting your hands on children.
130
Children that aren't yours.
131
You're not married.
132
You're not in a committed relationship.
133
He's still married to this woman.
134
These kids aren't yours.
135
Do you, you know, you don't have a lot of experience being a parent, do you?
136
I have three children.
137
You have three children.
138
All right, let's bring out your boyfriend, your husband, James.
139
Who dare you call toilet trash?
140
Who dare you call toilet trash?
141
Who dare you call toilet trash?
142
Who dare you call toilet trash?
143
How are you gonna let a 21-year-old girl put her hands on your kids?
144
She has never hit the girls down hard.
145
So your kids are lying to me?
146
Yes, just like the way the kids say it before.
147
Well, you know what?
148
We're gonna find out today.
149
We're gonna find out today who's lying and who wasn't.
150
Just like the way the kids always say that you tell them to get in the middle of the...
151
Well, don't worry, because we're going to know right today the truth.
152
Get you and your dad and Brady split up.
153
Stop, stop.
154
No matter what's being said, she's admitted that she physically disciplines your children.
155
Yes.
156
You're okay with that?
157
I don't see where it's wrong for her to tap the kids in the mouth if they're back talking or whatever.
158
They're too old for that kind of discipline.
159
She cannot tell me that her boyfriend would not do that.
160
James, James, I don't give a butter boyfriend right now.
161
It doesn't matter.
162
This is the one doing it.
163
This one.
164
This one, I gave permission to.
165
And she has never hit them to the point where they bled or had fat lances or nothing like that.
166
I mean, I'm defending your kids.
167
Isn't that your job?
168
Yes!
169
I mean, I get confused sometimes.
170
They're your kids, and I'm saying, don't let the girlfriend hit your kids.
171
And you're like, well, I gave them permission.
172
I will never give anybody, until my dying breath, permission to hit my kids.
173
Well, but I'm doing it as a need to, as a need to.
174
The problem I have with is
175
that you're letting a 21-year-old girl that's only a few years older than your daughter discipline her.
176
And we have talked about that.
177
And lately, the discipline is until I hear her.
178
If they're bad or if they get lippy or whatever, they sit in the corner until I show up.
179
That is their punishment now.
180
Oh, so you stopped the physical discipline.
181
I stepped in.
182
She does not hit them no more.
183
She now puts them on a time.
184
And what made you stop that?
185
I stopped it because I didn't know how far it was going to go, because my 13-year-old...
186
So you did have a problem with it.
187
My 13-year-old...
188
So you did have a problem with it.
189
My 13-year-old has a master's like her mother and does not know when to shut up until she gets knocked down.
190
So you had a problem with it.
191
That is a wrong way.
192
Wait.
193
We're talking about a 13-year-old and a 10-year-old here.
194
Are they acting so crazy James?
195
No, the 13, the 10 year old acts good.
196
We don't have a problem with her.
197
Well then why is she tapping that one in the mouth?
198
She's not.
199
She's saying she did.
200
She says she doesn't bruise a little.
201
There's many times where I do where she gets in my face just like, just like 13 year old.
202
And I told you that.
203
She has never physically abused him the way Mandy says.
204
You're tapping a 10 year old in the mouth, what do you call it?
205
Abuse.
206
It might be abuse, but it ain't.. it ain't child abuse.
207
It's not something that shows the service if you don't run and pull them out of the house.
208
Isn't it a shame, a damn shame, that I have to argue with this knucklehead about protecting his own damn children?
209
Yeah!
210
Amanda took a lie detector test before the show you were asked.
211
Are you fabricating that Brandy's abusing your daughters?
212
You answered no. Have your daughters ever told you that Brandy abuses them?
213
You said yes.
214
Do you want to be back with James?
215
You answered no. The results of Amanda's lie detector test is that, Amanda, you told the truth.
216
Thank you.
217
Not that you really believe.
218
That's your kids.
219
That's all your kids.
220
Now you know I wasn't lying.
221
That's everything your damn kids told me.
222
That's not me making jealous of your little girlfriend.
223
I'm not making it up because I'm gonna be with you.
224
I did it because your girls told me.
225
That's why when they come back to me and tell me in front of mom and everything, mom tells us to go over there and cause problems just to get you guys a split up.
226
Why would they...
227
Why are they not even smart enough to make that?
228
She passed the test that she's not making it up.
229
This...
230
Wouldn't your first reaction be, Maybe, oh man, maybe she is telling the truth.
231
The only reason why maybe you're not opening your eyes to it is because maybe you know it already.
232
Maybe, maybe I'm a 35 year old guy.
233
You'll accept anything from her because you got a 21 year old girlfriend.
234
And you'll put up with anything.
235
You were asked, have you ever told James' daughters that you hate them?
236
You answered no. Have you ever drank liquor and told James his daughters drank it?
237
You answered no. And the results for those questions are that you told the truth.
238
Now!
239
She already admitted to hitting him. So I'm glad.
240
Steve, I'm glad she passed.
241
I'm glad she passed.
242
Hold on.
243
Just one more question.
244
Oh!
245
Brandy, you were asked, have you ever hit James' daughters with excessive force?
246
You answered no. And the results for that question is that you did not tell the truth.
247
Oh!
248
Oh my god!
249
You stupid bitch!
250
I swear to god!
251
Don't let me get you outside the studio, I swear to god!
252
Okay, we got it at home.
253
I swear to god!
254
I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna put excessive force on you just like you did to them!
255
Okay.
256
Get it up!
257
Let me get back to a house.
258
What'd you do in your room?
259
I'm not.
260
I'll leave.
261
I'm not.
262
I'm not.
263
I'm not.
264
I'm not.
265
I'm not.
266
I swear to god!
267
You stupid bastard.
268
So, I mean, it's all right.
269
I'll leave.
270
That's it.
271
You just said you're done with him?
272
If he's sitting there, he's questioning me, well, when do you beat on them?
273
When do you beat?
274
I don't beat on them.
275
You do!
276
The proof is right there!
277
The truth of it is, she's too young to be in this situation.
278
She's 21 years old.
279
She's got three kids of her own.
280
Now you throw in the mix almost basically two teenagers.
281
That's got to be tough.
282
It's not fair to her.
283
She's probably made some mistakes, right, with his daughters?
284
I don't understand why not I have used excessive force being completely honest with you.
285
Well, when you hit somebody in the mouth, guess what?
286
That's excessive force.
287
You need to start making better decisions.
288
Teenagers are gonna be teenagers.
289
Yeah.
290
Right, because you know what?
291
The oldest one is a teenager and she has ADHD.
292
And you know what?
293
They all do.
294
I still don't give her a right to put her hands on them.
295
Shut your face!
296
Shut your face!
297
Quit the sending little hoochie!
298
He is talking to us!
299
Keep your mouth out of it!
300
I've got what I needed.
301
I'm done.
302
Thank you very much.
303
Thank you for having me on the show.
304
Thank you.
305
Please, from father to father, I'm asking you.
306
You have to give this young woman guidance, okay?
307
And you can never be okay with somebody putting their hands on your kids.
308
Nobody.
309
Promise me that.
310
If the two of you love each other, I hope it works out.
311
I hope everything works out for you.
312
You probably need to take parenting classes.
313
And if you want to do it, we'll provide parenting classes for you, okay?
314
Don't put...
315
Tell me, tell me that you're not going to put your hands on his kids anymore.
316
I won't put my hands on them anymore.
317
And you're not going to tolerate it anymore?
318
No. Never again?
319
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.
