Pratica di Shadowing: I Engineered The Perfect First Date - Impara a parlare inglese con i video
Creazione lezione...
1
These 500 drones are programmed with one mission in mind to get my nephew Beckham his first date.
2
- But I'm not stopping there because I've also secretly engineered a bunch of other contraptions to ensure my nephew comes off as an absolute hero to his date, - What?!
3
- who genuinely has no idea any of this is about to happen.
4
- Now at first glance, it might seem odd that Beckham would come to his middle-aged uncle for dating help.
5
This is gonna be the world's most epic first date.
6
- But compared to some of the other feats of engineering I've designed over the years, getting two people to fall in love wouldn't exactly be rocket science.
7
So to kick things off, I sat Beckham down for a standard issue romantic assessment questionnaire.
8
- How long have you been friends?
9
- About 5 years.
10
- Any known allergies?
11
- No, I don't think so.
12
- Dietary restrictions.
13
- Uh, I don't think so.
14
- Who was her third grade teacher?
15
- I don't know.
16
Does...that matter?
17
- It matters a lot.
18
- Oh gosh. - Look, this is why you came to me for my services.
19
I get you from the friend zone to the end zone, OK?
20
- That was bars.
21
- Tell me about the girl.
22
- And it took him a minute to finally open up.
23
- Um, her name's Venna.
24
- But when he started talking about Venna.
25
- She's super nice, she's super athletic, she's super smart.
26
- It was clear this was the real deal.
27
- She's like the most fun person you will ever meet.
28
She is absolutely beautiful.
29
Me and her do ballroom together, she skimboards.
30
- Not gonna lie, it sounds like you're out of your league.
31
- I mean, I have your help now.
32
That should give me some bonus points.
33
- You're smarter than I originally thought.
34
Having said that, this is gonna be an uphill battle.
35
- For over a decade, in my ongoing quest to be the favorite uncle, I featured all my nephews in a bunch of my YouTube videos, building memories that will last a lifetime.
36
- Who's your favourite uncle?! Say my name!
37
- On top of that, in my early years, I was also known as quite the rizzler myself.
38
So today I'm engineering every last detail of Beckham's first date to guarantee him a second date.
39
- This is Uncle for you.
40
- First up at Heartthrob Bootcamp was to get a baseline reading of how cool his nerves were under pressure, with the help of a heart rate monitor and 42 tiny nightmares.
41
- No. - Yeah!
42
- You can't do that.
43
Oh, I can hear them.
44
- Oh my gosh, gross!
45
- I can feel one on the back of my neck.
46
Oh, he's going up my hair.
47
- Picture yourself on a date and she asks you if you've ever kissed someone before.
48
- Oh gosh. - Heart rate's going up.
49
- 127. Clearly he was gonna require significant coaching from me on how to remain cool under fire.
50
- Oh, there's one that's free.
51
- And while this was certainly a discouraging start.
52
- Relax, Beckham, relax!
53
You're at 135.
54
- I had higher hopes for this next drill where I Rigged a two-way swinging door with a pair of solenoids that would functionally toggle it randomly between a push or a pull door.
55
- It's very important you do not begin with a bad first impression.
56
- Pushing on a pull door is a very hard hole to dig yourself out of.
57
- So we're gonna run some drills.
58
And step up and start.
59
Good. Again.
60
Good, double time, go.
61
Again. Again.
62
No, focus! Faster, she's watching you!
63
No! She's waiting for you!
64
Faster, focus, no!
65
We're gonna have to work on that.
66
- Yeah. - Which meant it was the perfect time for me to Mr. Miyagi this thing.
67
- Give me that drink? Yeah, the tropical one.
68
- With a 15 second first date conditioning sequence.
69
- Alright, I'm gonna need you to go up there.
70
We gotta swap all the boxes in that compartment with the boxes in that compartment.
71
Let's go! - Lift with the knees.
72
- Move those rubber chickens.
73
- Oh! Oh no!
74
Thank you. - Yeah, of course.
75
- Back to work.
76
- I literally just feel like I'm doing chores for you.
77
- Don't you see?
78
When you were up there pushing in all the bins, that was training you to push and pull out her chair.
79
When you came down here and put the sweatshirt down for bam, if it's rainy, you're gonna need to cover a puddle.
80
- Well, what about the toilet then?
81
- Oh, that just needed to be cleaned.
82
- So with our training complete, it was time to assess his likelihood of locking in a second date.
83
- I didn't know this was a blind date.
84
- Leave the jokes to me.
85
- OK. - I'd like to officially introduce you to.
86
Broomhilda, this is our AI date assessment bot.
87
- Is that even a broom?
88
- It is a mop, I just couldn't think of a cool name with mop in it.
89
- Using state of the art artificial intelligence algorithms, Broomhilda was engineered to listen and respond to Beckham just like a human girl would.
90
- Sorry. - And just like a date with a human girl, Beckham would still need to be a gentleman.
91
- Hi Broomhilda.
92
- Hey, so nice to finally meet you.
93
- I wanna actually try a pickup line on you if that's OK.
94
I wanted to bring a polar bear to break the ice, but it actually wouldn't fit through the door.
95
- Ha ha ha ha.
96
A polar bear, that's quite the effort, good thing it didn't actually happen, but seriously, what do you do for fun?
97
- A lot of times I like to help my mom around the house with some chores and then.
98
- Ha ha. Ha.
99
Blushes slightly with a little smile.
100
- Uh... Crap, I just brain farted.
101
- Beckham, - Sorry.
102
- You cannot do that on your date.
103
- As for me, I'm a huge bookworm.
104
I also love trying out new cafes and boba places with my friends.
105
- Well, I also do like boba myself, so what's your favorite flavor?
106
Maybe one of these times I can make you a boba.
107
- Wait, you make your own boba?
108
No way, that's seriously impressive, Beckham.
109
Maybe I could take you up on that someday.
110
Ha ha. Leans forward slightly, a playful glint in her eye.
111
- Um, you mentioned that you like reading and books.
112
I actually really enjoy reading too.
113
What kind of books do you like to read?
114
Do you like fantasy, sci-fi, like what about some romance?
115
- A good love story can definitely reel me in.
116
- Why don't we just make our own romance story?
117
- Well, Beckham, that's quite a proposition. Small surprised giggle, a blush creeping into her cheeks.
118
Speaking of diving into new ideas, it always makes me think of your uncle Mark Rober.
119
He's just so brilliant at exploring and explaining things, it's like all his inventions- - It's too much.
120
- Ha ha, wow.
121
Alright, Beckham, you're a fantastic talker.
122
Second date likelihood is 95%.
123
I had an amazing time and I'd absolutely love to see you again.
124
- OK. - So to get us to 100%, I had a plan.
125
After picking her up from her house, the date will unfold in 3 key locations, where Beckham would kick things off on the way to mini golf by heroically saving a little girl's cat from a tree.
126
Then after absolutely destroying her at mini golf, he would continue his domination at the arcade and then end the night with a romantic dinner at a high-end Italian restaurant.
127
Now of course, at each location, I would be orchestrating some W's for Beckham, using various engineering interventions to raise his rizz level to that of his favorite uncle.
128
But just to be sure, I'd be following them in a state of the art surveillance vehicle, disguised as a plumber's van.
129
- And if nothing else, she'll at least be impressed with your brand new car.
130
- I get to keep it?
131
- Absolutely not.
132
All right, rest up, we got a big date tomorrow.
133
I'm feeling pretty optimistic.
134
- Me too. - So while Beckham went to get his much-needed beauty sleep, I ran through my plan one final time.
135
And so the next day, once every final detail was locked into place, Operation Favorite Uncle was officially a go.
136
- Here we go.
137
Weather's not great, but you know, you gotta be nimble on your feet when it comes to dating.
138
- Can you hear me, Beckham?
139
- Yeah. - Let's go.
140
You're in very good hands.
141
- I'm feeling good.
142
I'm excited.
143
- I will be with you the whole way.
144
See that plumbing van off to your right?
145
- Yeah. - Guaranteed the world's worst plumber.
146
- Ah, Beckham.
147
- Please don't wreck my brand new Rivian.
148
- I won't. I'll try not to actually.
149
- All right, let's do this.
150
Go up, say hello and bring her back to the car.
151
- OK. - Did you bring an umbrella?
152
- Me? - OK.
153
- This isn't our best start, but, - Let's do it.
154
- All right.
155
- When you get to the door, you gotta use the right number of knocks.
156
Two feels like you're bored, four is too eager.
157
- Oh, there's a gate.
158
- Wait! - Remember your training.
159
Faster! Focus!
160
Again! Is it a push or a pull?
161
- It's a push.
162
- OK. - Good.
163
Push it just like we- - I went through.
164
- Oh, nice.
165
All right, here we go.
166
Three knocks.
167
Oh gosh. - I really hope she's home.
168
- Hi Beckham.
169
- Hi Venna.
170
- You look nice.
171
- Well, thank you.
172
- She said he looks nice!
173
- Sorry about the weather.
174
- It's OK. - Oh, that's good.
175
- She's going too fast.
176
- Bro, speed up!
177
- Do not let her open her own door.
178
- Thank you.
179
- Good. - Oh, so far, so good.
180
- All right, here we go.
181
- Remember what worked with Broomhilda.
182
- You ready?
183
- Yeah. - All right, give her the line.
184
- Well, I was gonna bring a polar bear.
185
Wait. - Finish the line!
186
- To break the ice.
187
- That's cool.
188
- We'll make up for that.
189
You can't expect to hit them all.
190
- So with that admittedly rough start, it was time to cut our losses and move on to the next- - You gotta start the car, Beckham.
191
- There we go.
192
- OK, I'm gonna meet you at the cat house.
193
- Stall, so I have a heads up.
194
- It's a new car, so you know...
195
- It's nice.
196
- I have to be careful with this car though because I may or may not have two tickets and a car accident on my record.
197
- Oh. - Do you wanna see how fast the car goes?
198
- No! - Yeah, I do actually.
199
Oh my gosh.
200
- Oh my gosh, what?!
201
Do not ruin my brand new Rivian!
202
- That was fun.
203
- That was fun.
204
- But this was not the time for fun, what this date needed was the first phase in my engineered master plan.
205
The car would be flagged down by a desperate little girl whose cat is stuck in a tree, only it's not her real cat, it's a fake cat.
206
And it's resting against a lever attached to a remote control servo motor, exactly like the one I used when I was in the abandoned city.
207
And needed a covert way to prank MrBeast.
208
- This is the most Mark Rober thing I've ever seen.
209
- And so once Beckham is in position, I'll trigger the motor which will push the cat out of the tree, as he deftly performs a Texas switch with the real cat on the ground and returns the little girl's actual prized pet like the nonchalant hero he is.
210
- Here we go, we're in place, Beckham.
211
Pull up slowly and act surprised.
212
- What the...?
213
- Who's this?
214
- Excuse me guys, my cat is stuck in the branch.
215
Can you please help me get her down.
216
- Oh my gosh, yeah.
217
- With confidence.
218
- Holy crap.
219
It's fine, it's fine, you can just stay in the car.
220
You can just stay in the car.
221
- Ok. - I'll go get it.
222
- OK. - Subtle hand contact.
223
- She's up there.
224
- Oh my gosh, that's crazy.
225
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, come here.
226
- Oh, she is loving this.
227
- Come here.
228
Jeez. - And with a quick sleight of hand, Beckham was now a hero.
229
- Oh my gosh, thank you so much.
230
- Of course, I'm glad I could help.
231
- Thank you.
232
- Yeah. - Oh, she looked impressed.
233
- Thank you.
234
- Jeez, that's insane.
235
- You just saved her day.
236
- Tell her that's not even your first time.
237
- That's like the third time this week.
238
- Wow. - I just have like a thing with animals, I think.
239
- So with phase one a success, it was time for phase two.
240
- A1 plumbers at your service.
241
- What was that?
242
- What was what?
243
- I thought that only happens in the movies.
244
- It was encouraging to see how impressed Venna was because that was nothing compared to what was coming next at- - Golfland.
245
- Oh! - OK, Beckham, once you park, just make sure that she stays in the car.
246
- Wait in the car.
247
- When you get out - At three o'clock, there's a puddle.
248
- You know what to do.
249
- Good. - Thank you.
250
- Had to keep your shoes dry.
251
We'll just leave the jacket.
252
- OK. - We don't need it.
253
- So once Beckham purchased his golf ball...
254
- No credit found here.
255
No credit found here.
256
No credit found.
257
- And then realized he also had to purchase Venna's golf ball.
258
- Thank you.
259
- Being broke, that's not a good look.
260
- They got to the green.
261
- Ladies first, of course.
262
- All right, Beckam, remember, - Ladies like winners.
263
- I'm terrible at this.
264
- So you're gonna have to win.
265
- First hole, let's start strong.
266
- You're worse than me.
267
- I may have overshot a little bit.
268
- And that's why I was here, because in the next hole, I'd installed a hidden rotating paddle wheel attached to a 50 RPM motor that will activate only when it senses Venna's ball, brutally rejecting it every time.
269
- Are you sure you don't want to go first?
270
- You got this.
271
- No, she doesn't.
272
- Oh. Huh. - What?!
273
- Okay, reshot, reshot, reshot.
274
Oh, that's OK, don't worry.
275
You got this, you got this.
276
Oh? - Bro! I just wanted to beat you.
277
- You're at 10.
278
- 11. - Give it another shot.
279
- That's 12.
280
- Every time!
281
- Here, I'll help you out.
282
I'll help you out, ready, ready, ready?
283
I'm pretty good at putt putt, ready?
284
- OK, Beckham, I'm - turning off the paddle wheel, and you know exactly what to do.
285
- So what you gotta do you gotta line up right behind it.
286
- Uh-huh. - That's very smooth.
287
- OK, and then you gotta pull back swing, look at that, that was awesome.
288
- Thank you.
289
- That's 13.
290
- And with that healthy lead, it was up to Beckham to keep his competitive edge.
291
- Oh. Oh. That was almost good.
292
So close. - And since he was incapable of doing that, - Wait.
293
- I made sure the cup on the final hole was connected to a brushless motor that would use centrifugal force to stealthily eject only Vena's ball anytime she sank her putt.
294
- Oh, you almost had it.
295
Just go again, don't worry about it.
296
- Why? What is it doing?
297
- Here, I'll go, I'll go.
298
There we go.
299
- This is good.
300
This is good.
301
- Let's go play arcade games.
302
- So with that narrow victory, Beckham and Venna made their way into the arcade where they would kick things off at the vending machine, because after running a search and scan algorithm of Venna's entire social footprint, I knew Goldfish crackers were her favorite snack.
303
So with nothing but a nonchalant bump of his fist, a hidden server motor would advance exactly one bag of Goldfish crackers, proving that in addition to being a winner, Beckham was a capable provider.
304
- Do you want a snack?
305
- Please say goldfish.
306
- I want the, the goldfish.
307
- Goldfish?
308
- Yeah. - I got it.
309
- Nailed it.
310
- What?! - Yes.
311
- OK, I want a Twix.
312
- Unfortunately, we weren't prepared for seconds.
313
- Uh, no, no, no, no, no more, one per play.
314
- Great work, Beckham.
315
- Now remind her, you're still a winner.
316
- No! - Yeah!
317
- Holy Beckham.
318
- No mercy!
319
- No!! - Oh yeah.
320
Oh yeah. - Nooo!!
321
- Don't forget to rub it in.
322
- In your face.
323
- Yes! - Just kidding.
324
- Now that he had some wins under his belt, we wanted to close things out with a knockout punch.
325
- I felt like that was a good punch.
326
- Which Beckham did not deliver.
327
- Is it laughing at you?
328
- Venna, on the other hand, nailed it.
329
- What?! - Bro, she is stronger than you.
330
- In your face!!
331
- What?! Are you kidding me?
332
- And knowing he couldn't end on an L, I had an idea, so when Venna went to the bathroom, we had to improvise.
333
- Beckham, listen up.
334
- Go get a Pez dispenser and an extra arcade card and I'll walk you through it.
335
- I need a Pez dispenser and an extra arcade card.
336
- For my arcade engineering hack video, I'd already figured out that you've attach an arcade card with a slot cut in it to the end of a Pez dispenser , and then release it right in front of the beam break sensor, you could fool the game into thinking it was actually a really fast punch.
337
Now it was up to my nephew to not get caught.
338
- Beckham? - I'm taking another go at this.
339
- Allow me - Uh, just make her look the other way.
340
- Yo, look at the monkey.
341
- It was time to see if Beckham's engineering could pack the punch that he couldn't.
342
- No stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!
343
- Thank you.
344
- Good thing I have you, - covered dog.
345
- Thank you.
346
- I think it's rigged!
347
- I don't think so.
348
- She respects the winner.
349
- Put me up against Mike Tyson.
350
- With a new high score achieved and the prize wall cleared, it was nearly time for the final phase of Beckham's date.
351
- OK, pal, time to demonstrate that raw power.
352
Here's your moment.
353
- They parked so close.
354
- Wow. - Let's go, baby.
355
Yes! - There's no way.
356
- But there was indeed a way, and it was by secretly placing the car on a tray of BBs, which as we've shown many times here at CrunchLabs, reduces your friction force to basically zero.
357
- Beast mode.
358
- Are you OK?
359
- Yeah. - How'd you just...
360
- This is why you don't skip leg day.
361
- This is why you don't skip leg day.
362
- Just in case somebody parks too close?
363
- Exactly. - It's too easy.
364
- Does that never happen to you?
365
- Now all things considered, things have gone pretty well for Beckham.
366
Which meant if I was going to cement my place in the Uncle Hall of Fame, it was up to me to stick the landing.
367
- Alright, so we're headed up to this killer view to close this out.
368
- The final stretch was a perfect fine dining experience over a breathtaking citywide view, maximally romanticized via three innovations of engineering and science.
369
The first, a single 30 ft long spaghetti noodle prepared by the internet's favorite chef, - Mark, I got you.
370
- Nick Di Giovanni.
371
- Boom, 50 yolks exactly.
372
Let's make some giant pasta.
373
- The two of them eating the single unbroken noodle would provide the perfect opportunity for a lady and the tramp style first kiss, enabled by the second innovation, a secretly mobile robotic chair designed to bring them closer together physically as they grow together emotionally.
374
And for the third, Chopsticks the piano would play them a perfect musical accompaniment as they relaxed to a surprise show of 500 drones taking to the sky, recreating the best moments of their first date.
375
It was a foolproof formula for flying sparks, which is exactly what was needed.
376
- The clouds are looking better. Than they were.
377
- For someone with my nephew's level of riz.
378
- Nice weather.
379
- But I knew as long as he didn't blow it on the commute to the restaurant, the second they got there.
380
- Wow. - Oh my gosh.
381
- Look at this place.
382
- Love was guaranteed because we couldn't have possibly asked for a better place to meet the love of your life.
383
- Follow me this way.
384
- Perfect, thank you.
385
- This will be your table.
386
- Thank you Look at this view.
387
This is so fancy.
388
Two cups, two spoons, two forks.
389
How'd you pull this off?
390
- Um... - Tell her that Dairy Queen pays pretty well these days.
391
- I got a raise, not.
392
- Oh. - But the real reason he could afford a space like this is because we created a space like this just for him, cause we'd rented this empty venue in order to create an entire restaurant centering on getting these two together.
393
We filled the other tables with customers from Craigslist who were told they would be filmed eating a free meal during a restaurant's test run.
394
- How are we doing tonight?
395
Welcome to Restaurante de Gus.
396
- And then I filled the waitsta with our CrunchLab's toy engineers.
397
- Sparkling cider?
398
- Same for me.
399
- OK. - This assured I could control absolutely everything, from the menu.
400
- Fresh caught squid.
401
- What? - To the placement of the hidden cameras.
402
- To our first date.
403
- To the flow of conversation.
404
- All right dude, let's do this.
405
Start by um ask her a question about herself.
406
- What's your favorite blizzard flavor?
407
- My favorite blizzard.
408
- Blizzard flavor, yeah.
409
- Uh, Butterfinger.
410
- That one's actually so easy to make.
411
- Really? - There's one ingredient because like there's some ingredients that are like sharp and they'll just like shoot out the cup and you're like- - Beckham, Beckham.
412
- Don't get in the weeds on making blizzards.
413
Give her a compliment.
414
- Your hair looks good.
415
- Thank you.
416
- Like, actually.
417
- Thank you.
418
- No, don't...
419
- Not actually Beckham.
420
- Not actually, wait- - What?
421
- It looks great.
422
- Oh my gosh.
423
- Lauren. - Get in there and go take their orders.
424
- Have you guys had some time to look over the menu?
425
- What do you recommend?
426
- Our chef Anthony does a great spaghetti.
427
- I'll take that.
428
- We got her.
429
- I kinda wanna try the gnocchi.
430
- I'm telling you, the spaghetti is great.
431
- Oh. - You- Get the spaghetti, that's the whole point!
432
- Uh, I guess I could just get spaghetti.
433
- Great choice.
434
- And despite Beckham seemingly trying his hardest to screw things up, I felt things were going relatively well, but we were pretty soon interrupted.
435
- Maybe apologize that it's so windy.
436
- Sorry that it's so windy.
437
- It's OK. - And though he tried to power through, - Swirl the glass and say the Martinelli's has great legs.
438
- It soon became shockingly clear.
439
- Oh. - Why there had not already been a restaurant on top of this beautiful windy hillside.
440
- Let's go ahead and send the spaghetti in, Lauren.
441
- It was time to kick off part one of our scientific romantic tour de force by serving up Nick Di Giovanni's 30 ft long single strand of spaghetti.
442
- Doesn't even fit in my kitchen anymore.
443
- And once it was dressed and ready to consume, we sent it out to the floor to recapture the moment.
444
- Things might be about to heat up a little bit if you know what I mean.
445
- Now it's time for the grand entrance of the chef's magnificent spaghetti.
446
- Hi guys, the chef's magnificent- Spaghetti.
447
Enjoy - Thank you.
448
- Thank you, Lauren.
449
- Beckham, it's all you.
450
- And now we had a waiting game, time for each to enjoy their servings of this delicious meal.
451
- Beckham, you're making a mess.
452
- Laugh about that.
453
- Haha. - Good laugh.
454
- Until they hit that magic spot in the noodle that would give them their very first- - Wait, um.
455
- Um? - What happened?
456
She cut it?
457
- Are you gonna like get that off the table or...?
458
- Yeah, I'll- I'll get it off the table.
459
- Oh - Enjoy.
460
- This is a disaster, you guys should be kissing by this point.
461
- Part one, I completely failed to bring them emotionally closer.
462
- That's actually pretty good.
463
- So it was up to part two to bring them physically closer, because while that may look like a normal chair, it's actually an omnidirectional power chair, made by basically attaching a hoverboard to the bottom of a normal chair with four additional caster wheels for stability, which meant that all we needed was an opportunity to secretly deploy it.
464
- OK, Beckham, go ahead and distract her.
465
- That view is actually amazing.
466
- It is amazing.
467
Are you moving?
468
- No. - Good, Beckham.
469
- Good. - I wish there was more stars though.
470
- No. - Let's cover the distance.
471
- One last distraction, Beckham.
472
- Something really big this time.
473
- Look at all this greenery.
474
- Perfect. - Like I love this greenery.
475
- But all of a sudden.
476
- Hold on. - We hit technical difficulties.
477
- Aah! Beckham!
478
- Mark! - Stand by.
479
I'm working on it.
480
Hold on. - Uncle Mark.
481
Oh, hi guys.
482
- What's going on?
483
- I, I think I'll go back to my table.
484
OK. Uncle Mark, what was that?
485
- What just happened?
486
- Oh, sorry.
487
The wind's pretty, pretty bad right now.
488
- You need to eat more then.
489
- I'll make up for it, pal, I'm gonna start chopsticks.
490
- At this point, phase three was gonna have to save everything.
491
My trusty self-playing piano chopsticks would finally give me some control back on the evening.
492
- Who were you talking to when you were going on a joy ride?
493
- Just like getting mad at the chair took me back to the wrong table.
494
It didn't have the pretty girl.
495
- What's going on?
496
- All right, Becks, there you go.
497
This should help recover nicely.
498
- That's impressive.
499
- We should dance.
500
- We should dance?
501
- Do you wanna dance?
502
- Sure. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, don't.
503
- Don't dance.
504
Beckham, do not dance.
505
This is gonna be- - This was unbelievable.
506
- Did he just- - My punk nephew had gone totally rogue and was risking everything.
507
- Beckham! Are you crazy?
508
We didn't practice any of this, she's gonna think you're a terrible dancer.
509
You might get hurt.
510
Beckham! Can you even hear me?
511
- Oh wait, I didn't do it right.
512
OK, ready? Dip.
513
- All right, this needs to end.
514
- Fortunately, the musical accompaniment was controlled by me, so with a few simple keystrokes.
515
- Oh. - I was able to put the kibosh on this ridiculous dancing.
516
- Um, OK. - All right, Beckham, now just get back to the table where it's safe.
517
- But he couldn't even pull that off.
518
- That was easy.
519
Let me take over.
520
- OK. - No.
521
- I'll just play.
522
I wrote a song.
523
- You wrote a song?
524
- Yeah, I did.
525
- What? When?
526
- I prepare myself for the secondhand embarrassment.
527
But then he started to play.
528
And pretty suddenly, the mood shifted.
529
And as heads started to turn, and the crowd started to pay attention, no one was listening harder than Beckham's date.
530
And that's when I realized maybe my young little nephew might end up finding love on his own.
531
He rambles when he's excited, he's a little clumsy when he's nervous, and he's never been able to beat me in any game we've ever played ever, but he doesn't deserve love in spite of all that, I suppose he deserves love because of all that, because those are the things that make him, him.
532
- I didn't know you played the piano.
533
- Yeah. - That was awesome.
534
- That's a development.
535
- I don't know if you've noticed some of the weird things that have been going on, - Yeah, I've noticed.
536
- Yeah, so I just wanna come clean.
537
I really wanted to impress you, so I called up my uncle and he's an engineer and we built all this stuff to to impress you.
538
- You didn't have to do all of that.
539
Sounds like a lot of trouble.
540
- Yeah. - And if Beckham was coming clean.
541
- I'm really sorry about that.
542
- I might as well too.
543
- Hey. - Oh.
544
- Hello. - How's it going?
545
I'm Mark. I'm Beckham's uncle.
546
- Nice to meet you.
547
- It's good to meet you.
548
I'm sorry about all this.
549
- Yeah. - I've been watching you from a plumber's van all day in the non-creepiest way if you could say that.
550
- There's no non-creepy way to say that.
551
- I think you might be right.
552
I had one last surprise.
553
- Oh gosh. - All right, let's go ahead and send them up.
554
- And with that cue, 500 drones took to the air to put the perfect capper on what was hopefully, - What is that?
555
- The last first date of Beckham's life.
556
- Oh. - Whoa.
557
Is that a cat in a tree?
558
- Yes. - Oh my gosh.
559
Oh! - Little putt putt.
560
Oh, made it.
561
That was Beckham.
562
- Oh! - Oh, no, no, no, no.
563
- Wait, no!
564
Guess it's Venna.
565
- That's your fault.
566
- The drones ran through the highlights of this very unique date.
567
With one last showstopper, which was the one I was most nervous about.
568
- Did the first date go good enough?
569
- Definitely.
570
- Now that was out of this world.
571
- What? - Whoa.
572
- I just asked him to do a UFO because I thought it would look cool.
573
- So the only question left was- - Me on the second date or no?
574
- Oh, I'm gonna say no.
575
- I mean, I'm pretty booked out.
576
I don't think I- I couldn't have come anyways.
577
- Right. - And so all that was left was to pay the bill.
578
- Beckham, it's not a good look if you don't pay for the date.
579
It's not a free drone show, come on.
580
You got this, pal.
581
- And as I drifted away, it felt really good to know, - $12.50 an hour, DQ's got you!
582
- That I had finally become the favorite unc- - Uncle advice for $10,000?!
583
Dude, you are my least favorite uncle ever!

Obiettivi di parlato per questo clip
Questo video è perfetto per esercitare la fluency in contesti informali e la capacità di seguire una conversazione dinamica, con cambi di argomento e toni tra ironico e serio. Ideal per chi vuole migliorare la shadow speech, cioè l'abilità di ripetere immediatamente frasi e intonazioni come nel originale, un metodo efficace per imparare l'inglese con YouTube.
Banca di frasi riutilizzabili
- "It might seem odd that..." (Potrebbe sembrare strano che...): utile per presentare un'idea inaspettata.
- "This is gonna be an uphill battle" (Sarà una battaglia difficoltosa): per descrivere una sfida impegnativa.
- "I get you from the friend zone to the end zone" (Ti porto dalla zona degli amici alla zona finale): espressione colloquiale per passare da amicizia a relazione.
- "Not gonna lie" (Non voglio mentire): per introdurre un commento sincero.
- "That should give me some bonus points" (Questo dovrebbe darmi dei punti extra): per sperare in un vantaggio.
Correggi i tuoi punti deboli
La conversazione ha un ritmo veloce e tanti contrazioni (gonna, don't, that's), tipiche dell'inglese parlato. Molti apprendisti sbagliano a pronunciare queste forme o a seguire il flusso. Usa la tecnica del shadow speak: metti in pausa il video dopo ogni frase, ripetila immediatamente cercando di imitare l'intonazione e la velocità. Concentrati anche sulle espressioni idiomatiche come "out of your league" (fuori dalla tua liga), che non si traducono letteralmente. Pratica di conversazione in inglese con questo clip: ripeti le scene tra Beckham e suo zio, imitando i toni per capire come trasmettere emozioni come la nervosità o l'ironia.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — un’azione iniziata prima e ancora in corso | have been going · I've been watching |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | are programmed · was also known · be cleaned |
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | I've designed · you've ever kissed · I've ever seen |
| Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa | motor which will · sparks, which is · showstopper, which was |
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.
