3
After hearing Matt LeBlanc sing Joey's Freud song all these years later, there's another masterpiece from Joey's musical genius crafted by the exact same hands.
4
Get it?
5
Same hands?
6
You know what?
7
It's probably better if I just show you.
8
Ask him about the song in the casino.
9
In Vegas, there's a song in a casino with a croupier.
10
Ooh.
11
Same hands.
12
Oh, the hand?
13
Oh, my God.
14
This hand is your...
15
God, this is so...
16
This hand is your hand Watching Matt LeBlanc's best moments,
17
one question comes to mind.
18
Was he really playing Joey, or was he just being himself?
19
But before Joey, life wasn't exactly going great for him him, Matt LeBlanc was completely broke, before friends ever happened.
20
You were broke when you got friends, isn't that right?
21
Like seriously broke.
22
You know when you think, alright I got a little money in the bank, I can hold out till the next gig.
23
I think I was down to $11.
24
$11.
25
Now that's holding out too long.
26
Because even if I said at that point, alright I'm gonna go get like a waiter job, by the time that $11 ran out would have been before the first paycheck on that job.
27
You waited too long.
28
I would have started.
29
Back then, sometimes, the difference between getting the job and not getting it was simply having a good headshot.
30
But a good headshot costs money.
31
And this time, didn't have a Chandler around to pick up the tab.
32
So he shows it to me and I go, ah, forget it, don't worry about it.
33
So I go to the drugstore and buy like a three -pack of Emory boards.
34
Wait a minute, you filed your own tooth down?
35
Yeah.
36
Tooth filed down.
37
Check.
38
Uh, good headshot?
39
Check.
40
We're down to the final two for Joey on Friends and now there's only one thing left to do.
41
Cross our fingers and hope the other guy makes a huge mistake.
42
Do you know when you were auditioning for Joey that you were going to get that part?
43
You know, I went in a bunch of times, then it got down to like me and this other guy.
44
This one other guy and me at the final callback.
45
And so I go in there and they give you like a breakdown, like a little basic description of who the character is.
46
This is like an Italian -American struggling actor in New York.
47
So I go in for the final callback and this other guy
48
And I don't mean if he did any disrespect to the guy, but he's like dressed as a cowboy Wow,
49
and I was like, well one of us is way off base Didn't get the memo you didn't get the memo.
50
Here's the funny part the guy in the cowboy boots who lost the audition
51
Ironically ended up playing Joey later in the show No, no, no, no!
52
How you doing?
53
What are you doing?
54
Damn it!
55
Oh, go wait in the hall.
56
But before any of that happened, Matt had to quit the job he already had and say goodbye to his family.
57
And like any kid leaving a small town for the big city, he got exactly the kind of support you'd expect from his family.
58
When you go to your parents and you say, I want to go and and it's because
59
so many people say they're gonna go and and and be an actor in the big city And it doesn't work out.
60
Were your parents supportive when you told them?
61
No I told my mother I'm gonna, you know, I was I was a carpenter I was working on a framing crew
62
and I told my mother I think I'm gonna quit this
63
and I'm gonna move to New York and be an actor and she said what?
64
Matthew, what do you know about acting?
65
I said nothing?
66
I'm gonna go try and figure it out.
67
Uh -huh.
68
So what does she say now?
69
If you thought Joey's whole, I will eat pretty much anything, thing was just part of the character, well, you'd be wrong.
70
You probably remember the episode where he ate Rachel's infamous meat trifle.
71
But apparently that wasn't the worst thing Matt LeBlanc ever ate.
72
I wish it had stopped there.
73
Joey, obviously, ate a lot.
74
Everything.
75
Everything.
76
But what was the worst thing you had to eat?
77
Do you know what I'm talking about?
78
Yeah, the trifle thing.
79
First, there's a layer of ladyfingers, then a layer of jam, then custard, raspberries, more ladyfingers, then beef sautéed with peas and onions.
80
There's a really funny story with that.
81
So, Ross is saying he doesn't like it, and Rachel hears him and hurts her feelings, but he doesn't want to hurt her feelings, so he eats the whole thing.
82
No, no, no. He said, no, no, no, no, it's delicious, and eats it all.
83
But there was too much on his plate, so he starts to eat it all, and he can't finish it, and he starts laughing.
84
So we cut, and as we're cutting, he kind of spits it back on his plate, like that.
85
And I'm sitting right next to him, and I didn't, I'm looking the other way.
86
I didn't see him spit it back on his plate, right?
87
So I take his plate, I go, give it to me, and I scrape some on my plate.
88
I go, here, let's go again.
89
And we go again and now I'm eating it And we finished the take no one says anything
90
Cut to the wrap party and we're watching the blooper reel and I'm watching them going.
91
Oh, I remember this is funny It tastes like feet
92
after matt leblanc's dessert incident unfortunately the bad luck didn't end there
93
you know the episode where joey's arm is in a sling
94
and yes matt leblanc really did dislocate his shoulders you probably think you know how it happened.
95
But the real story behind it was a little different.
96
qualifies as a stunt and somehow I ended up completely upside down
97
and I was going to land on my head between the table
98
and the chair so I put my arm up to break my fall
99
and just exploded my shoulder so I get up
100
and everybody thought it was part of the show you know
101
everyone's laughing I'm like yeah that's pretty funny ah just in total pain
102
so I go upstage and into Monica's bedroom and I go in there
103
and I just kind of collapse against the wall I'm looking I'm like my shoulder's gone
104
and my arm is sticking out of my ass basically
105
and i'm like what the heck and i look up
106
and anthony edwards from er yeah was happened to be they
107
were at the next stage over he just happened to be there watching the show
108
and he comes in and i'm like wow did i hit my head too
109
because i know you're not a real doctor get out of here
110
while friends was still on the air matt leblanc had a catchphrase that became even more famous than he was
111
And years later, that catchphrase would give his daughter huge opportunity.
112
You know, my daughter, she's such a chip off the old block.
113
My sense of humor is if I know something irritates you, I'm going to play on it and key on it as much as I can.
114
One of my friends taught her that, you know, when she was really little, you know, you have to say,
115
And, when Emilia Clarke found herself sitting next to Matt LeBlanc, you can probably guess the one thing she wanted to hear.
116
Yeah, kind of.
117
Did you get to talk to him?
118
Yeah, kind of, maybe.
119
Hi.
120
Hi.
121
Hi.
122
I'm actually blushing.
123
Yeah, I just think you're wicked.
124
I do have one slight request from you, though.
125
What's that?
126
So, would you be able to ask me how I'm doing?
127
Oh, yes, do that.
128
Yes.
129
Well, since I, you know, haven't been up to speed on the show, I will say, you know, how are you doing?
130
Even years after Friends ended, you could still find a fan almost anywhere there was electricity.
131
It got to the point where Matt LeBlanc was recognized as
132
Joey even in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco by people living in traditional cave homes.
133
We were in Morocco in the Atlas Mountains and I mean people are living in caves.
134
I mean they actually that's where they live
135
and there's this shooting this one thing where I'm in this uh kind of dune buggy like car aerial nomad
136
and there's an extension cord coming out of this cave
137
and this guy comes out of the cave and he sees me
138
which kind of stopped there
139
and he goes hey how you doing i couldn't believe it there's electricity they're watching it
140
and one thing matt always found hilarious was hearing all the
141
different voices they gave joey in other countries episodes are friends they're both everywhere episodes is 180 countries
142
or something crazy just saying yeah Have you met the other Matt?
143
Have you heard the other Matt?
144
No, I've heard some of the voices.
145
They sent us a long time ago on Friends, they sent us like a DVD.
146
They gave it to us as a rap gift one year, like just one scene, like one from Japan, one from Spain, one from Germany, and it was hysterical to hear all the voices.
147
And the Japanese guy that does me was the funniest.
148
Thank you very much.

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.
