Pratica di Shadowing: I Opened a Better McDonald's - Impara a parlare inglese con i video

I just opened up the world's best McDonald's

and there's hundreds of people waiting hours just to get a taste of our burgers. But why?

It's no secret America's in trouble.

One in eight of the world's population are now fastest obese.

Toxic.

Ultra processed food.

Obesity rates for kids have tripled.

It's a double chunk chocolate cookie!

And I believe there's one company to blame for all of this.

McDonald's.

So I've created a plan to take them down.

The plan, create the world's healthiest and tastiest fast food restaurant.

And I'm gonna call it McDonald's.

Oh, um, McDonald's sucks.

Now, according to chat GPT, because the logo is slightly changed, I should be able to get away with it.

Also, the founder of McDonald's himself right up just stole the business from these two dudes, so we'll just call it get back.

McDonald's, please don't sue me.

I'm just, I'm just a chill guy.

So now I have a logo and a name

and now I just need to find a place that's willing to let me have my McDonald's Sucks grand opening.

The next day we started our mission of finding a restaurant.

Restaurant number one.

Hi.

I was wondering

if you guys would be open to the idea of us renting out this location for a day

and opening a fake McDonald's.

No. Okay.

Alright.

After this we started speed running local restaurants with the hope of finding one by the end of the day

But unfortunately none of these restaurants seem to be too fond of our idea I don't think

so I doubt we can do

that No No No No No No No Next question That's the only question I got

so Yeah But that wasn't gonna stop me One after another I was pitching these places my idea

And once in a while I get a glimmer of hope 99% no I'm holding on to

that 1% Alright Thanks man have a good day And same with this place, Irv's Burgers, which literally looked perfect.

Okay, well, um, I think I'll have to get in contact with my manager.

If you want to write your number down, that'd be awesome.

Perfect, yeah.

Okay?

Thank you.

Yeah, yeah.

I'll give you a call.

Okay, perfect.

Mike?

Yeah.

It's Mike?

All right.

Thanks, appreciate it.

I gave them my phone number.

The manager, hopefully, will give us a call, but I think we should probably keep asking around.

So we kept asking relentlessly, but to no avail.

I realized this would be much harder than I anticipated and honestly started doubting the plan just a little bit.

It's been a rough day.

Not much luck.

We're gonna keep going.

Hopefully we can get a yes.

But as the day was coming to an end, we got a surprise phone call.

Hello?

Hey Jack, it's Mike from Earth's Burgers.

Oh, how's it going?

Yeah, we talked to some people at your restaurant earlier today.

It's coming to me, it's coming to me, it's coming to me, it's coming to me.

Is that something that you guys would be interested in or would be possible in any way?

Right now it's not a good time for us.

It's pretty busy down there.

Is there like any upcoming dates, like even one day?

One day.

If it was any day, it would have to be Friday.

That's the only option I got is this Friday.

Do you have like a rough estimate on like how much that would cost potentially?

Yeah, sure.

We can do the numbers.

On the spot.

I'm gonna have to go with about two thousand dollars Jack.

Okay Yeah, we'll do we will do it we'll do it.

I can like send you all the details and we can like like lock it in.

Okay sounds like a plan that sounds good to me.

All right.

Yeah, bye-bye.

Hopefully that's not a mistake.

Okay that was actually one of our favorite places we went to earlier today.

So yeah, not only is it this Friday, which means we have only a week to get it ready, but it's going to cost us $2,000.

For the love of God, please join the movement and subscribe to the channel because we're going to need everything we can get.

I think we can call it a night.

Hopefully it goes through.

Let's get out of here.

The very next day, we locked in Friday to rent out herbs

and made our way down there to meticulously measure every inch of this place in hopes

that we could create perfectly sized decals to make this place look like a legit McDonald's sucks restaurant.

Back at home I did some rough Photoshop work and created all of the decals.

I called a ton of decal places to see

if any of them could get them done in time and one place said, yeah we should be able to get that to you.

So I placed the order.

With that out of the way I started designing some absolute drip for Irv's Burgers employees

that would be helping us serve up all of our meals.

Finally, I sent them to get printed at a local print shop.

Now that all of that was done, all that was left to do was hope it all comes in time.

Okay guys, it's day three, which means we open in just four days.

100

Look, I've been doing a ton of research on ingredients and I think I've literally created the world's best fast food meal.

101

This meal makes Ronald look like an absolute clown.

102

Our goal is to serve 250 meals, which means we're going to need a lot of each ingredient.

103

Now we could try to profit off these meals like the money hungry folks over at McDonald's, but I decided we're already in the hole financially.

104

So let's just give the meals away for free.

105

You know, something for the people.

106

It's probably a horrible business move and I might go bankrupt, but, you know, I think fast food has just gotten way too expensive.

107

All right, let's get to work.

108

And I'm back in frame because I got to turn the camera off.

109

To buy ingredients, we made our way to Whole Foods, which is basically a grocery store for rich and healthy people.

110

And it's the only place that has the exact cheese we need.

111

Pasture-raised organic cheddar.

112

I'm telling you guys, this is the good stuff.

113

The problem is when we asked to buy 250 slices, they said they didn't have nearly enough.

114

But they did tell us.

115

I know the Whole Foods in Tustin is a little bit bigger.

116

Maybe I want to check with them.

117

So we bought out their entire stock and made our way to the Whole Foods in Tustin, where they let us buy out all the remaining cheese we needed.

118

Is it drippy? Is it what?

119

You know, I like my cheese drippy, bro.

120

While we were here, we also grabbed some grass-fed butter as well as a bunch of organic ketchup.

121

Now we had to go all the way to another store called Sprouts to get our beef patties.

122

So we're gonna have to...

123

Ow!

124

What the... Was that...

125

Was that Ronald?

126

That was Ronald McDonald right there.

127

Does he know what we're doing?

128

Did you see that?

129

Dude just came by.

130

Ronald McDonald, he like socked me in my eye.

131

He punched me in my face.

132

I'll probably like get him back or something.

133

Yeah, I don't really know.

134

We still have to get ingredients.

135

So let's just keep going.

136

Ow!

137

Yeah, so that was kind of jarring, but luckily they had the exact beef patties we needed.

138

Organic, 100% grass-fed patties.

139

There is literally not a single fast food chain that offers beef this high of quality.

140

Not only is this stuff healthy, but it's delicious.

141

We wanted to buy 250 of these patties.

142

So what are 50 of those pets?

143

When do you need this by?

144

A week from today.

145

I have to order them.

146

Can you give me a call tomorrow for that order?

147

Just in case we run across anything because it is the holidays.

148

The warehouse are very limited.

149

So we don't know what supplies they have right now.

150

Give me a call tomorrow.

151

Yes, sir.

152

Appreciate it.

153

So that night I called and placed an online order for pickup and hopefully they'll arrive in time.

154

The next day was arguably the most important part, promotion.

155

Now I spent hours emailing a bunch of local food

156

and health influencers on behalf of McDonald's Sucks in hope that some of them might post it or even show up.

157

Then we made our way to pick up a box of flyers.

158

We just picked up 1,000 flyers.

159

These things look actually super professional.

160

Guys, my Photoshop abilities, they're getting pretty good.

161

We're just going to try to spread the word as much as humanly possible

162

in hopes that hundreds of people show up to our restaurant.

163

We started by putting these things up next to Irv's burgers on every single wall Guys, can I talk to you?

164

Yeah So what are your names?

165

My name's Owen, his name's Jack They have McDonald's logos on this and it says McDonald's suck on them Mike, do you know about this?

166

Sorry guys

167

Which literally took us like five hours We have some spectacular

168

news Our boy Santa Cruz Medicinals 500,000 Instagram followers He just posted a story saying that we're opening this McDonald's.

169

I hope that we get some traction.

170

I'm hyped on that So hopefully that does something.

171

We're gonna keep promoting this thing

172

So we made our way to go promote this thing even more and everything was looking up, but then Wait, bro Hold on slow down.

173

Wait pull.

174

Yo pull over.

175

Pull over, bro. For what?

176

Is that who I think it is?

177

Not this fast Come on, let's go.

178

Yeah!

179

Yo, Ronald!

180

Return to the Mac.

181

Get up when it does what it does when it does.

182

How do you feel to get punching me?

183

Get up, fresh shot, come struck walking.

184

Little bit of humble, little bit of conscious.

185

Somewhere between like Rocky and Cosby's for the game.

186

No, no, y'all can't compete.

187

You make lovin' it now?

188

Freakin', freaking chicken nut.

189

You like me?

190

Give me extra cheese with that, yo.

191

Hey, give me.

192

Let's go.

193

Talk to you.

194

Get outta here.

195

Okay, he's not coming back.

196

And now that Ronald was finally taken care of, it meant we can keep promoting.

197

We put these flyers all over local colleges.

198

You gonna be there?

199

Yeah, we be there.

200

I love you, bro.

201

Love you too, man.

202

I love you, bro.

203

High schools, middle schools, and every other place I could possibly think of.

204

And by the end of the day, I knew there was only one place left to hit.

205

The Ops.

206

Hey guys, how's it going?

207

Enjoying the burgers?

208

We're opening a restaurant.

209

It's named McDonald's Sucks.

210

We're just kind of handing these out.

211

It's completely free.

212

You know, a little healthy alternative.

213

Keep it up, brother.

214

Thank you guys.

215

All right, we've converted two.

216

It's named McDonald's Sucks, but we don't want any trouble.

217

I don't know.

218

I'm just gonna leave a few here.

219

And you know, like, I'd love for you to come.

220

I feel good about that.

221

We just spent the entire day putting up flyers.

222

If this fails, we can confidently say that we tried our best.

223

I need some sleep and hopefully people turn up to this thing.

224

With only two days before the grand opening, I was getting pretty worried our orders weren't gonna be ready in time.

225

But luckily, the call started coming in.

226

We took a long drive to pick up our employee outfits.

227

We picked up our shirts.

228

I'm thinking about the turnout of the event, if there's even going to be people there.

229

I'm stressed and worried about the whole thing going to plan.

230

Usually, I cut out the low moments in these videos because I try to keep it as positive as possible.

231

But I thought, I might as well let you guys know even we have our off days,

232

but we're not going to use that as an excuse to quit because we still have a ton of work to do.

233

We're turning out these videos as quickly as possible and with that comes a lot of uncertainty, but we're trying to get to that million subscribers and we're out here grinding as hard as we can.

234

Let's keep this going.

235

Let's keep pushing forward and let's get this restaurant open, baby.

236

And we pushed onward to get our decals.

237

Big shout out to Sinorama.

238

They came in absolutely clutch.

239

Yes, this is perfect.

240

Dude, this is gonna look like a real restaurant.

241

McDonald's sucks!

242

Hamid Okay, good.

243

Yeah All right, thanks bro.

244

We loaded everything into the car and prepared for tomorrow the day before the grand opening This thing's rolling.

245

Good morning guys.

246

We're here outside of of sprouts and we're here to pick up some more ingredients.

247

We got a long day ahead of us, we have a lot to do.

248

Let's get cracka lockin'.

249

First we picked up our 256 beef patties.

250

Bro's got more beef than Tyson and Jake Paul.

251

And then we needed to get a ton of organic potatoes for our french fries.

252

Can we just take a second to appreciate this wonderful woman here that hand counted each and every one of these potatoes.

253

Now I'm gonna let you guys in on a little secret here.

254

This is called beef tallow and it's what McDonald's used to fry their french fries in.

255

It's not only tastier, but it's way healthier.

256

Unfortunately, no surprise here, but McDonald's ended up becoming stingy and now they fry their french fries in this.

257

All of these ingredients.

258

Nasty.

259

Then we got even more potatoes and 250 spring water bottles.

260

This is what 250 water bottles looks like.

261

We then loaded everything into the car and made our way to Irv's to store everything to keep it nice and fresh.

262

And now it was time to cut these potatoes into french fries.

263

We assembled these fry cutters we got on Amazon.

264

It's time to cut our first potato.

265

Hopefully this thing works.

266

It worked.

267

And then we started speed running some potatoes.

268

These fry cutters low key sucked and they kept slipping and getting jammed, which made this process much harder than I anticipated.

269

After the fries were cut, we would throw them in this ice water to get the starch out of the potatoes

270

so they'd get nice and crispy when we fry them.

271

Then we dry them off super well before putting them in the freezer.

272

Watch out, Gordon.

273

You might have some competition.

274

Probably not.

275

That just took three hours, and we're only halfway done.

276

I'm delusional.

277

It's been a long day.

278

It's been a long week.

279

So this is the home stretch, and then tomorrow we're gonna be up bright and early to open up the restaurant.

280

We're gonna take down McDonald's.

281

We ended up cutting potatoes for a total of six hours before we were finally done.

282

We ended off the night by attempting put up some decals.

283

We got our first decal on.

284

It looks so good.

285

We're going to put these up all over the restaurant and slowly transform this place into a McDonald's sucks.

286

And after a bit of decorating, this place was really starting to come together.

287

All right, guys, that's going to be a wrap on today.

288

I am so exhausted.

289

We got like half the restaurant done.

290

I think it honestly looks incredible.

291

One of the security guards walked by and literally thought that it was McDonald's, Which I think is hilarious.

292

I'm super, super nervous for tomorrow.

293

I don't even know if people are gonna show up.

294

That's it, I'm going to bed.

295

All right, today is the day.

296

It's 6 a.m and today is the grand opening.

297

I can't believe I just said that.

298

I'm super nervous and I don't know what to expect, but let's do it.

299

With no time to waste, we made our way down to Irv's to get this place set up.

300

We started by putting up all of the outside decals.

301

We put the fries in the bag, so you don't have to.

302

What up, Jimmy?

303

And then the banner.

304

And to finish it off, we added some final touches.

305

Introducing the world's first McDonald's sucks.

306

This place came out way better than I could have imagined.

307

That looks insane!

308

Oh my gosh, that literally looks like a McDonald's.

309

And it seemed like people were starting to notice our creation.

310

I was like, did McDonald's buy them out?

311

I live on Belmo Island and they had the flyers around me on the farm.

312

Nobody realized it at the time and I went, no, if you look, it's just McDonald's.

313

I started to worry that nobody was going to show up, but regardless, we started firing up the fryers and getting our employees in their outfits.

314

It's currently 11 o'clock.

315

So technically it opens in about an hour.

316

Um, no one has showed up yet, so I don't know if that's a bad thing.

317

Hopefully people start showing up so we can actually serve some burgers.

318

Time was passing without any sign of any customers and I thought we might be screwed here.

319

But then the customers started coming in.

320

Hey, what's your name?

321

I'm Jack.

322

I'm Jack.

323

Oh really?

324

Nice to meet you.

325

Nice to meet you.

326

You're here for the burgers?

327

Yes, sir.

328

Oh, sweet.

329

Yeah, yeah.

330

We're going to start serving in like probably like 45.

331

Okay, for sure.

332

Yeah.

333

And with 30 minutes before we open, the line was looking like this.

334

There's a line of people in there.

335

All right, guys.

336

It's about 30 minutes later.

337

We've acquired quite the line of people.

338

There's probably...

339

You know what?

340

Let me just show you.

341

Come on.

342

Oh my dude.

343

What are we gonna do?

344

Oh my god.

345

What are you doing?

346

Oh, I love you dude.

347

Dude!

348

Dude, it's packed!

349

People lying down the street.

350

Dude, what the...

351

I'm like super excited, but I'm like really overwhelmed.

352

We opened in like what, 10 minutes?

353

So we got ready to cook the first meal.

354

We threw down our grass-fed patty, followed with organic pasteurized cheese, and laid onto Herb's buns with some fresh shredded lettuce.

355

The burger goes in the custom McDonald's Sucks bag, and the seasoned beef tallow fries are thrown in as well.

356

And to top it off, a spring water bottle.

357

This is definitively the highest quality fast food meal there is.

358

And just like that, the first meal was served.

359

But the question is, how does it taste?

360

Out of ten?

361

Yeah.

362

Nine, for sure.

363

We started serving meals at a rapid pace, one happy customer after another.

364

This is really f*ing good.

365

Maxwell burger.

366

Peaseless, exploding in my mouth.

367

Pause.

368

It's better than the burgers my boyfriend makes at home.

369

Oh!

370

What did you say?

371

Oh, no, nothing.

372

She was saying, like, you make the best burgers, dawg.

373

Okay, thank you.

374

We've been open for an hour, and I don't even think we're like a quarter way through the line.

375

So I'm starting to get pretty worried about if we're gonna be able to serve everybody and how long it's gonna take.

376

Then somebody special showed up.

377

Santa Cruz Medicinals.

378

The same guy that helped us out by putting up that story post.

379

Funny enough, I happened to watch this dude's content before we ever reached out to him.

380

So we had to get him a burger.

381

He was one of the first health conscious people I ever followed or watched online.

382

So I accredit this dude to a lot of the inspiration for this actual restaurant.

383

Hey now, I would never eat McDonald's.

384

This is grass-fed beef, this is pasteurized cheese.

385

Dude, I will eat this for sure.

386

That's a 10 out of 10.

387

Let's go!

388

We kept serving these meals and the people were loving it.

389

Now this turnout is better than anything I could have ever hoped for, but I didn't realize how far people would actually go just to get one of these meals.

390

Where'd you come from?

391

Captain Valley. For burgers?

392

Yeah, he goes out Balboa here and he hands it out a flyer.

393

And that's how you found this?

394

Yeah, yeah.

395

It must have been us.

396

I wonder if we have the clip.

397

I bet we have a clip panning a flyer to you somewhere.

398

You look a little familiar.

399

I think it was you.

400

Okay, let's go!

401

That tastes real.

402

It was worth the wait.

403

What was it, like two hours?

404

We drove an hour to get here.

405

It was worth it.

406

We started to get pretty low on meals at this point, but luckily the line was much shorter now, so we kept serving in hopes that everyone would get a burger.

407

Where are we?

408

I showed up.

409

You're for the McDonald's!

410

No, dude!

411

We're opening a restaurant.

412

It's named McDonald's Sucks.

413

I really respect the UK.

414

We are fighting against McDonald's.

415

We have officially turned a real-life McDonald's customer into a McDonald's sucks customer.

416

Is it better than McDonald's?

417

Way better.

418

Yes, baby, let's go!

419

As we serve the final customers, some relief came over me and all I could feel was thankful.

420

Everything is going pretty well.

421

Hopefully we have enough burgers.

422

I'm hoping everything continues to go well.

423

I'm kind of just...

424

Yo, what the...

425

Yo, Ronald!

426

Yo, Ronald!

427

Hey, come here!

428

All right?

429

Yeah!

430

Keep walking.

431

Keep walking.

432

Only he's coming back.

433

The fact that we were able to give people a cheap

434

and healthy alternative for just one day and prove that this is even possible is everything I could have hoped for.

435

And the crazy part is, you guys watching pretty much made this entire thing possible.

436

So, thank you.

437

We're serving our last customer.

438

What was your name?

439

Steve.

440

I'm Jack.

441

Nice to meet you.

442

Oh yeah, baby.

443

Is it better than McDonald's?

444

Oh heck yeah!

445

Yeah, let's go!

446

McDonald's sucks!

447

We're done.

448

We did it.

449

McDonald's sucks!

450

McDonald's sucks!

451

Subscribe.

452

I'm leaving.

453

Guys, as epic as that all was, this war isn't over.

454

I'm gonna be honest with you guys, my relationship with food hasn't always been the best.

455

When I was stressed, I'd eat junk food.

456

When I was lazy, I'd eat fast food and when I was craving, I'd eat candy.

457

And as an effect, I didn't like who I was becoming.

458

I felt out of shape and just disappointed in myself.

459

And I'm telling you guys this honestly, this was a genuine struggle that I had in my daily life.

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.
