3
You've seen her in my college party video, you've heard her voice, you've seen her faceless cameos in my other videos.
4
That's right, let's give it up for Morda!
5

6
Okay you guys, this is Morda, but for the sake of this video, we'll be calling her by her nickname, Moo.
7
What is up, Moo?
8
What up?
9
What are your fans called?
10
For now, I'm going to call them the little crimmies.
11
Hi crimmies.
12
Okay, sure, we'll go with that.
13
So I brought Moo here today, my old roommate and partner in crime of bad decisions in college.
14
The bad decisions did not end in college.
15
Yeah, that's true.
16
And that's what we're going to tell the story today.
17
We'll be talking about the chaotic story of the time we
18
went to an 18 plus butler cafe in Anime Expo otherwise known as dark romance
19
so moo how did we end up in this mess we were joking it was a whole group of us
20
that went and the boys were like let's go to a maid cafe
21
but like you know what's more spicier is the dark romance
22
butler cafe the adults only after dark butler cafe you saw
23
that on the website and you were like yep this is the one exactly well okay
24
so as as a good friend of yours oh god
25
and as your advocate what ran through my head is
26
that like you know we could go to a basic ass maid cafe
27
or we could go to like the butler during romance so
28
that you have more fun stories for your youtube channel it's
29
a career move a career move right we thought this was
30
going to be an event where the both of us would
31
be cheering on these amazing butlers as they gave us like
32
a bl type performance yeah like we we didn't think this was an actual serious event
33
because like by the pictures it was giving like orange high
34
host club vibes it was a little meme -y like
35
if you look at the picture like how can you i don't know yes the the poses the poses
36
i was like let's do it for hono's career no no a couple of friends went with us
37
but for the sake of the story we'll just mention lilith
38
and rory so we went as a group
39
and we were like in group casual cosplay
40
or whatever ax is just an ugly experience
41
because it's super hot it's in la it's super packed
42
so people are like kind of rubbing against you
43
while you walk around i'm just trying to paint the picture of like why we would feel
44
so gross and like the food is shit yeah the terrible food we ate
45
that entire day very much contributed to why this story went wrong What did we eat again?
46
We got this Miku bento with like a blue drink Wait was the burger blue too or was I imagining things?
47
No, you're imagining things you were delirious
48
So we were basically both malnourished throughout this day
49
because we only had a McDonald's hash brown in the morning
50
And then whatever this Miku meal was it was not good food you guys, but you know where you can get good food That's right,
51

First, I had to try out this white chocolate waffle cake that matched my sweater pattern.
58
This waffle was just the right amount of sweet and yummy.
59
I always buy cake -like desserts like this, so of course, I loved it.
60

61
Then, I enjoyed these Christmas tree -shaped corn chips.

79
After a long day of walking around the expo, we decided to head back to Lilith's house to rest a little since the Butler Cafe was a late night evening event.
80
So after napping a bit at Lilith's house, we were preparing to leave again to the convention center for the cafe.
81
Okay, this is where we talk about the thing.
82
We come from a place where we took a visit to Rainbow Road.
83
Let's just be blunt.
84
Lilith offered us some special candy.
85
There was no pressure.
86
Let's say that.
87
Yeah, did we think about it properly?
88
Did we think about the consequences?
89
No. Now before you guys start typing up a whole essay
90
in the comments talking about how we're a bad influence for
91
using this platform to make jokes about doing something seriously dangerous and stupid, I'd like to clarify that first of all, you're right.
92
We still make mistakes and we're really not trying to make light of our actions
93
or portray this experience to be something that was fun and crazy.
94
It was one of the most dumb
95
and miserable times of our lives where we had to learn our lesson the hard way.
96
So just enjoy us sharing our experience and coping with it through laughing about it.
97
This is a lot of disclaimers.
98
We haven't even talked about.
99
Today's society is so scary being cancelled online that we're just like, let me tell you something.
100
Let me tell you something.
101
Just FYI, Rory was our designated driver.
102
He did not cross Rainbow Road with us.
103
Yeah, yeah, we're not that irresponsible.
104
So we arrived at the convention center, but we still had a bit of time to spare before we could line up for the cafe
105
So we decided to meet up with our other friends at this manga library room
106
Which was a place where people could relax
107
and read manga in a nice and relaxing quiet environment So since Mo and I are both artists, one of our friends suggested we draw Since there was a table with free paper
108
and art supplies for anyone to use We go up, grab our little materials, head back to our seats
109
And we decided to play a game The game was to draw Pokemon from memory Honno and I,
110
as we were drawing Our busted ass Pokemon were vibrating
111
And it was at this moment when we both realized We had completely lost it
112
And fully crossed Rainbow Bridge The group that we like met up with Were like looking at us They're just like, it's not that funny It's not that funny Like it's funny,
113
but it's not that funny And then they noticed it when we went outside They were just like, wait a fucking minute.
114
They're not with us right now.
115
They are not like us.
116
They're different.
117
We leave the manga library and we head over to line up for the dark romance cafe. In line.
118
We were just standing, but like my legs felt like jello.
119
And like, I just kind of stood there.
120
And like my face apparently looked very, very worried.
121
I just looked afraid.
122
Yeah, you just stopped responding to everyone and looked like everyone was out to get you or something.
123
we got ushered in as a group
124
and then there's like a set amount of people
125
that sit at a circular table
126
and they presented our two butlers for the evening let's call them naruto
127
and sasuke after naruto and sasuke introduced themselves to us they led us to our table
128
and we started off with an icebreaker where they had us introduce ourselves
129
and then name our favorite body part my name is hono
130
and my favorite body part is the neck and my name is mu
131
and my favorite body part is the face after the icebreaker all the butlers gathered on stage
132
and we're asking for volunteers to come up for some special service
133
so all the tables were foaming at the mouth and going rabid
134
so that someone from their table could be chosen
135
and of course our table is doing the same for this
136
one girl who sat with us one of our table mates
137
was like a very let's just say it she was down
138
bad for this event she was living her best life being
139
here yeah she was a fun time she got called up on stage
140
and she got a little dancey dance okay this was not
141
some ordinary cute dancey dance these butlers were insanely talented dancers
142
but also unexpectedly really lewd i mean i know we signed up for an 18 plus adult event
143
but these guys were grinding on the ground
144
and the main butler dancer he spread the legs of the girl from our table
145
and then started grinding against her like they were going full on magic night
146
and everyone in the room was elucidated yeah basically i'm like how do i react to this yeah
147
so they were very very very explicit about consent yes they did ask for our consent in the beginning
148
and gave us the option to leave at any time
149
if we were ever uncomfortable
150
but anyways yeah i had been holding my vomit since we were outside
151
and all the stimulation of loud music
152
and flashing lights took me to my breaking point
153
so i took my tote bag grabbed this plastic bag from inside
154
that was holding some merch i bought earlier took the merch out threw up inside the bag under the table
155
and behind rory rory realizes i'm throwing up and he's he's disgusted
156
but like a true homie he still tries to hide me
157
rory really is the mvp of this this whole evening You're the best.
158
Yeah, thank you for hiding me while I was throwing up behind your back.
159
So after the performance, it was time to play our first real game.
160
And the games that we played were all like punishment based.
161
So you would have to do something embarrassing if you messed up.
162
Naruto was the one explaining this game to us where the
163
person who is it will have to say a letter from A through D.
164
And then each letter has a corresponding hand sign.
165
You and everybody else need to do a hand sign different from what was said out loud.
166
I was the first one, it.
167
The letters flashed before me.
168
And then what came out was E, which was not one of the letters.
169
And they were like, what?
170
I think you need to get punished.
171
But before Moo actually gets punished, I'm freaking out.
172
Like, I don't have the brain cells to keep up with what's going on right now.
173
So if I get punished, I'm definitely going to freak out and then throw up in front of everyone.
174
So I just get up and...
175
You slithered out of there.
176
I slithered over to Sasuke and I'm like, yo, I gotta go I don't even explain why I have to go I'm just like,
177
I gotta go I book it for the door and everyone's looking at me like Damn, that girl must have been uncomfortable or something No, I mean, I was But like, it's because I had to throw up
178
And then I started fighting for my life in the hallways
179
Because I couldn't find a bathroom to throw up in All
180
the bathrooms in the area were closed off for cleaning
181
So I ended up just finding some dark corner and vomiting in my bag again I'm sitting there almost passed out Like,
182
oh no, everyone is leaving the convention center right now And if I stay here,
183
someone's gonna see me half dead And then call an ambulance And I can't afford an ambulance We live in California Woo, American healthcare system
184
I decided
185
that I would try to just book it back to the
186
parking lot To where our car was I was lucky enough
187
to somehow find my way back to the car After violently
188
throwing up all over the bushes on the way back But now, I was out of the picture, and Moo was about to get her spicy punishment.
189
My punishment was to moan as loud as possible.
190
I'm like, how does one moan?
191
So, I went and did a...
192
They were like, okay.
193
The fact that you were able to even follow directions, like, good job.
194
I can't remember the exact play -by -play that happened after that.
195
I think we played a few more rounds there was a
196
show this was the only time they performed like an anime song
197
that i recognized it was go fighting dreamers from like naruto
198
and that's when i was looking for you
199
because i'm like hono this is our jam wait that's a long time after i left
200
and you only just noticed i was gone
201
and i was like i really want water but i'm afraid
202
that if i get up i'm just gonna topple over
203
so i just sat there with cotton mouth later on there was another game i can't remember
204
if it was the same like abcd hand gesture thing
205
but i was once again punished
206
but this time i messed up with the super enthusiastic girly
207
naruto had the idea he's like i want you to walk me like a dog i get up
208
and the other girl starts to get on all fours herself
209
and i was like am i supposed to go down too
210
but then naruto stops her and was like no no no you're walking me
211
so then he gets on all fours
212
and in my head i'm like what is walking him mean am i supposed to grab his foot
213
and you grab the other foot is that kinky
214
but no that's not what happened she didn't grab his legs we just grabbed pretend leashes
215
while he walked on all fours
216
and i'm like this is such a weird punishment i honestly
217
cannot remember the rest of the night the show ended
218
and we're like okay we need to go find hono we knew somehow
219
that you were by the car
220
and you were on the floor dying the rest of our group we didn't take any pictures really
221
so they were taking like outfit pictures
222
while you were dying on the floor priorities am i right
223
priorities eventually we were on our way back to lilith's place we got in
224
and out on the way home and mu
225
and i ended the night sitting on lila's balcony having our mouse moment eating
226
and regretting our existence so mu what did we learn here be responsible
227
that if you're going to be not coherent for whatever reason
228
and you have a choice do it in a very safe
229
and stable environment yes but if for whatever reason you do find yourself making this mistake in public, make sure your friends are aware of your condition
230
and allow them to help you even
231
if it means messing up plans for the night because at the end of the day, your life and safety is much more important than anything else.
232

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.
