You get to this certain age and you're like, that's okay.
5
Your imagination begins to vanish.
6
Or maybe it's because of the internet.
7
Because if you're like, I wonder what it looks like if a dragon was riding a camel.
8
You just Google image, dragon riding a camel.

19
Number three thing you miss most about being a kid, recess in the middle of the day.
20
That was the best.
21
Unless you go to court, jury duty, you have recess.
22
It's not as fun.
23
Right.
24
But it still is recess.
25
It's also really long.
26
Have you ever done jury duty?
27
Oh, every day.
28
Every day.
29
With all of my bills.
30
You're civic duty.
31
Sam, you know me.
32
I respect that.
33
Most of my jury duty experience, the first hour is them telling you the restaurants in the area that you can go eat at.
34
It was a woman going, alright we got the Quiznos and Carl Jr. and just and on and on and on.
35
That's beautiful, why can't I go to this place?
36
An hour of journey, well you'll get it one day if you register to vote or register to drive.
37
Neither of which you currently do, so you're right now totally clear.
38
Perfect Americaness.
39
The number two thing you miss most about being a kid, the excitement of Christmas morning.
40
Ooh.
41
Christmas was so good.
42
I feel like when you grow up, there's this point in your life where it's like, Oh, I get presents, I get presents.
43
I have to give presents.
44
I don't have money to give presents.
45
What are presents?
46
And then it just, it's a spiral down.
47
That's good.
48
I'm glad that you had a strong opinion on Christmas morning, because I literally have none.
49
I'm Jewish, so...
50
Okay, but what was behind?
51
There you go.
52
Thank you.
53
And the number one thing you miss most about being a kid is...
54
Vacation!
55
Summer vacation!
56
Winter vacation!
57
Spring break!
58
When I was a kid, I was in a year-round school, which where you go to school for three weeks and they're off for like one or two weeks.
59
You're always in school and there's no like set breaks, but you're just always constantly going and moving and I loved it.
60
I could see the value of the rolling vacations.
61
Like I would take that in adult life.
62
I mean, assuming that life wasn't just sort of always a vacation.
63
I would, like if I had like a steady gig, it would be cool to get like two weeks off every once in a while.
64
Right?
65
Well it's terrible because now I have a job and it's like, oh I gotta go to work.
66
And it's like, oh I have to ask for time off.
67
They didn't approve it.
68
Oh okay, well, go to work.
69
So no time off.
70
Here we go.
71
And apparently it just keeps getting worse.
72
And then you died.
73
Yeah, sure.
74
So that's it.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
