The show is called Young Larry.
40
It's about my life when I was like 24, 25.
41
I lived in Brooklyn with my parents and my uncle, Mo, lived upstairs with my grandmother.
42
Mo was in his 70s.
43
He pushed racks in the garment centers, would take the subway every day.
44
He never spent a nickel in his life, so he had over a million dollars saved up.
45
So one day, Uncle Mo comes up to me and he says, I'm moving into the city and I want you to live with me,
46
and if you live with me, I'll leave all my money to you." Wow.
47
Wow.
48
So in the show, I move in with Uncle Mo,
49
and, uh, I do everything that I can to accelerate his.. demise.
50
So how does he try to kill him?
51
Subtly.
52
You know, like, giving him terrible food to eat, Ruben sandwiches, you know, making him climb up six flights of stairs, telling him the elevator's broken,
53
you know, things like that.
54
So young Larry, what's going on in his life right now?
55
Like, what is he doing?
56
Okay, very good question.
57
Thank you.
58
He's a private chauffeur.
59
He drives for an old woman.
60
I was a private chauffeur.
61
I drove this old lady around.
62
She was blind.
63
I never cleaned the car.
64
She had no idea.
65
And so he has this huge Cadillac limousine at his disposal that he uses all the time.
66
And I was trying to be a stand -up comic.
67
So I was just starting out doing my act.
68
Oh, that's really interesting.
69
You know, we'll see him do stand -up.
70
Sure.
71
When he's not chauffeuring or whatever and trying to kill his uncle.
72
Wow.
73
I love this.
74
I think this is great.
75
Really?
76
I think we want to do this show.
77
In a word, in.
78
Yeah?
79
Yes, in.
80
Are you kidding?
81
Really?
82
Absolutely.
83
Look at that.
84
Oh, my God.
85
Purell?
86
How about that?
87
I'm good for now.
88
I'm good for now, but thanks.
89
I'm not a Purell hoarder.
90
Remember the pandemic, the hoarders?
91
Oh, yeah.
92
Nasty people.
93
Terrible.
94
They're like horse thieves in the Old West, aren't they?
95
Okay.
96
You'll find that I'm a pleasure to work with?
97
Eh, don't give me any notes.
98
That's all.
99
I'm not joking.
100

101
It's not a joke.
102
That's great.

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。
