1
It is always a good sign when you continually ask somebody out and they constantly say, I'm busy.
2
That's not a good sign.
3
And then never try to make an effort to go out with you.
4
That's always a plus.
5
Yeah, that's good.
6
That's good, Jubal.
7
That's what's happening to David, who wants to call a girl today for a second date update.
8
They met on Match, had a good time.
9
and then doesn't go like I'm busy but We could do this.
10
It's just, I'm busy.
11
I hate that.
12
That's what you're getting, right, David?
13
That's right.
14
Yeah, David, you're not one to read signs or take hints very well, are you?
15
You know, every once in a while.
16
Tell us a little bit about the girl you want us to call first.
17
Well, her name's Alicia, and we met on .com.
18
Okay.
19
You know, she was really cool.
20
She was funny.
21
She was cute, all that stuff.
22
So we ended up meeting up and going out for drinks for a happy hour, and we had a good time, you know.
23
Remember, was the conversation good?
24
Everything normal?
25
Did anything strange happen?
26
On your date?
27
No, not at all.
28
It was actually a really good time.
29
You know, we were just sitting around drinking and got on the topic of liking to try new things.
30
And we both like to do that and started ordering each other drinks that we never had before.
31
And, of course, that, you know, that went well.
32
Nobody got sick or anything like that.
33
How much alcohol was consumed?
34
It was only like three drinks apiece.
35
Okay, that's not too bad.
36
You know, I had like our initial drink and then she got me something like a blue Hawaiian drink.
37
and an Alabama slammer and I got her a Midori Sour and she'd never done an Irish car bomb so...
38
- Yeah, you guys kept it classy on your date, didn't you?
39
- Is that all that you did was go to happy hour and do the like, "Hey, try this drink thing?" Well, you know, you do that pretty quick in an hour.
40
Yeah.
41
We got pretty drunk pretty quick.
42
Yeah.
43
And realized it was probably a good idea to slow down there.
44
Yeah.
45
Maybe order some food, too.
46
At the end of your hour of drinking.
47
What did you guys do?
48
Did you go get something to eat or?
49
Well, you know, you can't always do drinks and dinner on a first date.
50
Maybe a good idea to combine the both.
51
I'm thinking you needed something to sop up the alcohol.
52
That second date idea, I can't do that on first.
53
I don't have a lot of ideas.
54
First date drink, second date.
55
Dinner and drink well, it's not like you were slamming down bottles
56
and bottles you bitch had like three or four drinks each You weren't completely hammered right?
57
Everyone's a raging alcoholic like you three or four drinks.
58
You probably still be okay Yeah, I felt good David can I ask?
59
When you made plans with her the first time, was it hard?
60
Was she always, quote, quote, busy?
61
Or did she have a lot of free time?
62
No, she was really open for it.
63
And did she did she give you any indication on her date
64
that she has like a really busy schedule or crazy job or anything like that?
65
You know, not really.
66
Um, You know, it seems like she's, I'm going to be honest, I don't, we really didn't talk about what each other, what we both do for work.
67
How did the date end with her?
68
Did you guys make out?
69
No, we didn't make out.
70
I was a pretty smooth operator.
71
I got a kiss on the cheek.
72
That's not smooth, David That's a friend peck, dude No, no, no, that was a gentleman peck It was a nice hug,
73
it wasn't a side hug Regular, good, linger and hug and that it from the tree did i'm just gonna say
74
Throw it out there.
75
Anytime I've ever told a guy or even a friend that I'm busy, it's because I don't want to hang out with them.
76
If I'm busy and I make plans, like alternate plans, then it means, yeah, go for it.
77
Well, she still responds, like, if I text her or send her a message on Facebook or anything, you know, she's still responding.
78
She's not, like, completely boring me off.
79
Yeah.
80
So that's why I'm confused as to, you know, I've been in that position where I've said I'm busy, and then I just don't respond to text.
81
Yeah, but some people don't do that.
82
Like, I know for me, if I tell somebody I'm busy and they keep doing it, like, eventually I'll break down and still respond to them, and then they'll be like, okay, so let's go out.
83
And you're like, no, I'm still busy.
84
Yeah.
85
I don't want to see you, but you just keep bugging me, so I will answer.
86
If you like a guy, you make time.
87
That's all I'm saying.
88
- I or girl.
89
you know i mean like if you pull me off i would like to know the reason why Okay.
90
To me, we had a really great time.
91
Okay.
92
Well, we'll play a song, come back, call her, and get your second date update, okay?
93
Cool.
94
If we're not too busy.
95
Hang on, all right?
96
All right.
97
Yep.
98
We were going to do your second date update, but honestly, something just came up.
99
Can we make the phone call for you like next week or something?
100
I promise we'll get around to it.
101
If you're just tuning into the second date update, I'm telling David that because the girl
102
that he wants us to get a hold of keeps giving him the I'm busy treatment.
103
Not I'm busy.
104
We could maybe try next Thursday when I'm not busy.
105
Just...
106
I'm busy, which usually means I don't want to see you.
107
Yeah.
108
So we're about to call her and find out why.
109
They met on match, went out for happy hour, had some drinks, maybe too many drinks, I don't know.
110
And he said everything went well, so he doesn't understand why she would say that she's busy and doesn't want to see him again.
111
But she is responding immediately.
112
To like all of his texts and everything.
113
Yeah, to be nice, maybe.
114
Maybe, yeah.
115
David, I mean, you got a kiss on the cheek when you left.
116
Was there any talk then of seeing each other?
117
I don't remember.
118
I'm gonna go with no. Alright, you ready to give her a call?
119
Here we go.
120
Beep.
121
Phone ringing.
122
Hello?
123
Hi, can I speak to Alyssa, please?
124
Yeah, this is Alyssa.
125
Hey, how are you?
126
This is Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning.
127
I'm moving 92 .5.
128
Really?
129
Yeah.
130
What's going on?
131
um...
132
This is really weird.
133
Do you listen to our show?
134
I catch it once in a while.
135
In the morning, I kind of have to focus on hard news stuff just so I'm ready for work.
136
I like to think of us as hard news.
137
We report on the hard -hitting things.
138
No, I mean, like solid news, like nothing but news.
139
I would so much rather have some good music in the morning, but it doesn't really work for a few.
140
Well, yeah, you want good music.
141
You're not coming to the right place by listening to us.
142
We do have music.
143
I mean, whatever.
144
All right, Alyssa, listen, I'm calling you because you recently went out with someone else
145
our show and they wanted us to get a hold of you.
146
So this is like a social call?
147
yeah I like that name it is social call can do a social call
148
or a second date update as we like to call it it's where if you go out with someone
149
and you end up blowing them off, they email us to call and ask why.
150
David, who's a friend of the show, feels like you've been giving him the runaround just telling him that you're busy.
151
Are you really busy or do you actually want to see David again?
152
Uh...
153
Yeah, that's a really interesting question.
154
It's not that interesting.
155
You're just trying to be nice.
156
Yeah.
157
You don't want to see David again, do you?
158
Um, No, I mean, I guess he told you?
159
What did he tell you?
160
He said you guys went out for a happy hour, started talking about things you haven't tried before, and then were suggesting drinks to each other and had a few drinks.
161
And he said he got a kiss on the cheek from you.
162
That's a big deal, right?
163
He said we had a few drinks.
164
We had a lot of drinks.
165
Okay.
166
He said you had...
167
It was like a lot of drinking.
168
It was like I was feeling really buzzed.
169
Okay.
170
All right.
171
So you were pretty drunk on the date.
172
Yeah, I mean, I'm guessing that he was, too.
173
I don't know.
174
Did he do something weird then, or did he.. you know, try to make a move on you or...
175
No, I mean, it was fun.
176
We were like talking and laughing and trying these drinks.
177
And then like, you know, we were just talking about...
178
stuff from the past and like, I mean, it was kind of awkward because he, said that a long time ago he got in trouble with the law in another state,
179
which is like kind of a strange thing to say.
180
Did he tell you what he did?
181
No, he like, there must have been a weird look on my face
182
because I think he like kind of caught himself
183
and he just like tried to like play it off like it was no big deal, you know, like...
184
Oh, he just, you know, he said something like, oh, I was kind of wild when I was younger.
185
Okay.
186
Like, that really stuck with me, what he said, and I just...
187
But you don't even know what he did, though, because he never told you what he did.
188
That's exactly, and that's why I didn't know what to make of it.
189
So I was talking to my friends about it, and they're worried about safety and stuff.
190
So they're like, look, you know, you should really do a background check just to be safe.
191
Like, anyone can go online and, like, put up a profile.
192
You don't know who this guy is.
193
So did you do a background check?
194
Yeah.
195
You actually paid to have a background check done on him.
196
Oh.
197
Yeah, I mean, it's not that exciting.
198
Expensive.
199
I just, I was really surprised by what I found out, and that's why I haven't said yes to a second date.
200
What did you find out?
201
Well...
202
He was basically like a serial arsonist.
203
What?
204
He was flying things on fire?
205
A serial arsonist?
206
Whoa!
207
Like how bad?
208
What?
209
Well, I don't know all the details.
210
Like, you don't get every single everything.
211
But when the information came back, it just was like he...
212
things on fire like more than once wow that's intense like
213
how many counts of setting things on fire did he have uh this mentioned
214
Four and there were there were allegations about a fifth.
215
I guess
216
that wasn't proven now Alyssa We did this phone call for him to find out why you weren't calling him back now.
217
I'm scared if things don't go well He's gonna burn my house down or something.
218
Seriously?
219
I'm worried for her!
220
Yeah, I'm sorry for that.
221
Alyssa, I know you probably never want to talk to David again.
222
Yeah.
223
But I should tell you that he's actually been on the other line this whole time listening to everything you said.
224
Hey.
225
Okay, this is really awkward.
226
I don't even know what to say now.
227
First of all, that is really weird that you would do a background check on me.
228
I can't believe that people actually do that.
229
Don't deflect.
230
How can you have a complaint that I did a background check?
231
There was something to find.
232
That seems to be more of an issue.
233
Yeah.
234
You could have asked me.
235
Well, I did ask you after you mentioned that you got in trouble with the law and you blew off the question.
236
You kind of just shut down and obviously didn't want to answer it.
237
So I did try that.
238
I don't really care about you talking to each other right now.
239
All I want to know is, David...
240
Are you really a serial arsonist?
241
Serial arsonist is a really strong way to label it.
242
I set a couple old cars on fire and like a shed.
243
In the wood.
244
Why would you do that?
245
We were just kids goofing off.
246
It's not like someone lived in the shed.
247
It's not like it was like a car in someone's driveway.
248
There's just some old stuff out in the field and we set it on fire.
249
I don't know that I feel better about that, David.
250
I...
251
Sadly, I can see where David's coming from.
252
Sometimes you just want to light things on fire.
253
At least it wasn't like houses or anything like that.
254
Animals.
255
Yeah.
256
It's not like we did it because I was crazy.
257
We did it because we were bored and it happened to belong to somebody, which we didn't know, and then, uh...
258
I got to go to the car.
259
Buildings usually do belong to someone, David. And cars.
260
How much time did you serve?
261
I just finished high school, I was like 18, I was supposed to serve two years, but I was out in like six months.
262
Nice.
263
Not nice.
264
That's all you get for burning down a couple cars.
265
So you served two years in jail for arson.
266
I was supposed to serve two years.
267
I was done in six months.
268
You were done in six months.
269
So Alyssa, he's not that hardened of a criminal.
270
He was only in jail for six months.
271
Silver lining, good behavior.
272
Does that make it any better, Alyssa?
273
Okay.
274
I'm really, really uncomfortable.
275
I don't blame you at all.
276
Yeah.
277
Well, Alyssa, it was i was just hanging out with some bad people and made a super mistake
278
and I learned from it, and I moved away from there.
279
I'm in a new state.
280
I started a new life.
281
You know, I haven't had any other problems with the cops, not even a speeding ticket.
282
You know?
283
I think people can change here.
284
How old are you, David?
285
28. And no problems in the last like 10 years.
286
Come on, you guys.
287
Yeah, it was 10 years ago.
288
Everybody makes dumb mistakes when they're young.
289
Four times?
290
It doesn't matter how long ago it was.
291
I don't want to date someone who was in jail.
292
I think that that's an okay standard to have.
293
I don't think so.
294
I really do.
295
You got to try a felon at least one time in your life.
296
That's what I always say.
297
That's what my grandma told me and I listened.
298
So listen, we can't convince you to go out on a second date with David.
299
We will pay for it.
300
I'm just - I'm not the right girl.
301
David, I'm sorry you did not get your second date.
302
But at least you know why Alyssa's been telling you that she's busy.
303
Yeah, that's a plus.
304
She doesn't want her property burned down.

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。
