読み込み中...
1
Martin and I just got back from India.
2
Yeah.
3
So let me tell you, I started posting on Facebook and Twitter that we were going to go out there to do these shows.
4
And then people started sending me messages questioning what I was going to do.
5
First of all, are they going to understand you in India?
6
Will they understand English okay?
7
Will they be able to follow along with your stories?
8
Once we got there, I come to find out
9
that more people speak English in India than in all of the US and Canada put together.
10
Might as well throw Mexico in there for extra credit.
11
Because there's that many people, and yes, they have the internet.
12
They got the internet, they got Bollywood, they got Hollywood.
13
They understand American culture so much more than we understand theirs.
14
Second thing, people tried to warn me about going over there.
15
Gabriel, be careful.
16
India is a third world country.
17
Don't drink the water in India.
18
It contains parasites that'll make you really sick.
19
Don't eat the food from the street people, especially the street meat.
20
It contains a parasite that'll make you really sick.
21
And most importantly, there's a lot of crime over there.
22
Don't stay out late.
23
When the sun goes down, you go down.
24
I'm like, is it that bad?
25
Parasites.
26
So I'm like, let me get this straight.
27
There's a lot of crime, don't stay out late, don't eat any of the food from the street vendors, and don't drink the water.
28
Why does that sound familiar?
29
That's Mexico!
30
When Martin and I got over there, we found out that Indian people and Mexican people have so much in common, you guys.
31
I'm telling you, it's insane how similar we are, especially the food.
32
The food is so similar.
33
For example, Mexicans love tortillas.
34
Indian people love naan bread, which is a fluffier form of a tortilla.
35
Mexicans love chicken.
36
Indians love chicken.
37
Mexicans love hot and spicy.
38
Indians invented hot and spicy.
39
Most popular drink in Mexico is Fanta.
40
Most popular drink in India is Fanta.
41
Indian people worship cows.
42
Mexicans love barbecues.
43
A lot of similarities.
44
Most of the people that I met over there were very hard-working and humble.
45
And I got to tell you, every time I talked to someone, I was always greeted the same way.
46
They'd look at me, they'd put their hands together, they'd do a little bow, and they'd say, Namaste, which is an endearing hello.
47
It's really nice and sweet.
48
And then I noticed that Indian people, when you're talking to them, do this thing with their head where it will begin to move side to side as they're speaking.
49
Now at first when you notice it you think, oh he slept wrong.
50
He just got a kink in his neck.
51
Get a Tempur-Pedic!
52
Now when they start speaking their head starts moving and I notice this.
53
The guy is checking us into the hotel and he's really cool.
54
He's like, listen, if you have any problems at all, you call the front desk, you press zero, we will send somebody to your room to help you.
55
Whatever you need, we got it for you right here, okay?
56
It's very good.
57
Now one thing I notice is the more they talk and the more excited Indian people get, the more the head starts to move around.
58
Somebody at the hotel yelled out to the clerk, that's fluffy, and the guy was like, oh my God, I don't believe it, I can do it now, I thought it was you, I thought it was you, oh my God, I cannot believe it,
59
this is so crazy, oh my God, fluffy, fluffy, fluffy.
60
Even crazier than that is that the mouth is actually connected to the neck.
61
When the mouth stops moving, the head stops wherever the mouth left off.
62
And when you see Indian people talking to each other, you can see it.
63
Okay, let me tell you something, okay, okay hold on wait wait wait wait wait okay like if you're Indian and you stutter you are so screwed
64
somebody stop him
65
I'm not gonna lie you guys
66
when I first saw this happen I thought it was hysterical I thought it was funny
67
but then I started thinking about it head movement is just a form of expression.
68
No matter where you live in this world, people express themselves in their own unique way,
69
whether through facial expressions, hand gestures, body movement, extra words.
70
Everywhere you go, things are different, and that's just how they express themselves in India.
71
Now, back to the whole Indians-Mexican thing.
72
That is something else that we share in common with Indian people.
73
Head movement.
74
Now, some of you in the building tonight are like, stupid it we don't have head movement yes we do it's
75
a little different see with Indian people the head movement is
76
side to side Mexicans our head movement is front to back the difference between that is
77
that with Mexicans we have to be very very upset in
78
order for you to see the head movement otherwise you can't tell with With Indians, it's all the time.
79
Oh, today's such a nice day.
80
It is such a beautiful day today.
81
I'm so happy.
82
It's very nice, very good.
83
Oh my God, I can't believe it's so nice.
84
Mexicans, when we're mad, that's when it comes out.
85
For non-Latinos, hey, trust me, you cut off a Mexican in traffic, see what happens.
86
That's funny.
87
I don't know why the black people are laughing.
88
You guys take it all.
89
Oh no, you didn't.
90
Oh hell no. I know he ain't talking about me.
91
Uh-uh.
92
I hear the bell.
93
I hear the bell.
94
I made myself dizzy doing that.
95
So let me tell you guys, if you ever get the opportunity to travel to India, I encourage you to check it out.
96
You are going to see some beautiful things.
97
You are going to see some amazing things.
98
You are going to see some sad, depressing things and some real horrible things.
99
Overall, it's a well-balanced trip.
100
Now when you get back home here to the United States, you will have a whole different appreciation for your life.
101
Believe that.
102
I guarantee this, you guys.
103
There's a lot of people in India.
104
And with a lot of people comes a lot of traffic.
105
First things first, American traffic and Indian traffic, very different.
106
Here, whatever happens on the freeway will stop the whole freeway.
107
In India, there's ten times the traffic, but it moves.
108
See, the problem is Americans, we're fascinated by accidents.
109
We're fascinated by the idea of seeing potential death.
110
That's why we slow down on the freeways.
111
We say we don't want to see it, but what happens in traffic?
112
You know, ah!
113
What's going on over there?
114
There doesn't even have to be a collision.
115
You could be on the 101 freeway and a car has a tire blowout and it spins.
116
Doesn't hit anything.
117
It's now facing oncoming traffic.
118
You know what happens to the rest of the freeway?
119
Even on the other freeway where there's no accident.
120
And again, what's going on?
121
It's going on.
122
I'm sorry, somebody might be dead.
123
Sorry.
124
In India, if there's an accident in the middle of the street, you know what they do?
125
They drive right around it.
126
They don't stop.
127
And it's not that they're not sensitive to the situation.
128
They are.
129
It's just that there's so much chaos that happens on a regular basis.
130
They just need to get to work.
131
They do see what's happening.
132
And believe me, they're heartfelt.
133
You know, they'll drive around.
134
I'm so sorry for you.
135
Nothing stops the flow of traffic in India.
136
They need to get from point A to point B.
137
And so they go.
138
They go.
139
If there's an accident, they drive around.
140
If there's something blocking the street, they get on the sidewalk to go around.
141
It's amazing the way they drive.
142
And here's something else.
143
No one uses turn signals over there.
144
No one uses turn signals.
145
They use a horn.
146
Now, if you go to India tomorrow, from the time you get there to the time you leave, You're constantly gonna hear a horn.
147
It's an actual language when people are driving.
148
I'll show you you're driving
149
Car car car on your right car car on your left
150
Car car light up ahead they talk to each other while they're driving and they barely miss each other every
151
Single time also you'll be on the 101 freeway here, and there'll be six lanes in India You'll see six lanes,
152
but guess what you'll see 12 cars across Yes, they have lines, but they're basically there to let you know more or less the direction you might want to go in.
153
They're this close to each other, and even at the light, they communicate.
154
You see everything.
155
Cars, trucks, vans, motorcycles, pedestrians, cows, children, all waiting for the light.
156
And they talk at the light with the horn.
157
Very good, you can go.
158
You can go.
159
Welcome, you're welcome, go go.
160
Nothing stops the flow of traffic over there.
161
Indian people drive.
162
Think of ants.
163
You know how ants travel in a straight line?
164
And if there's something in their way like a rock, ants will split up, go around the rock and reunite or climb over the rock.
165
Worst case scenario, they dig a hole and go under the rock.
166
That's the mentality of driving in India.
167
A man can get shot in the middle of the street.
168
People just look at each other.
169
Somebody pick him up.
170
And they'll drag his ass onto the sidewalk.
171
And if there's an accident and they need to get around, guess what's going to happen to that guy on the sidewalk?
172
Nothing stops the flow of traffic in India.
173
Except a cow.
174
Now, I know we've always heard the stories and the jokes about, oh, Indian people don't eat hamburgers.
175
I asked a question and I found out.
176
It's believed that cows are people who have died and they've been reincarnated.
177
And their new life is now the cow.
178
Which is why they don't eat them and why they give them all the love and respect in the world over there.
179
I saw this firsthand.
180
There's a cow crossing the street while we're driving.
181
And the cows know.
182
They're cocky.
183
They know that they can cross.
184
Here we go.
185
All the cows.
186
And the cows out there are all cocky.
187
No one honks at the cows,
188
no one yells at the cows, no one touches the cows.
189
They wait for the cows to finish crossing.
190
The cow that we had laid down.
191
The driver just shut off the car.
192
tweeting there is a cow in the middle of the street hashtag mumu
193
I asked the driver what's going on sir there there is a cow I see
194
that there's a cow are you gonna honk at it go
195
around what's what's gonna happen we cannot we We cannot honk the cow.
196
We must wait for the cow to move.
197
You're kidding.
198
I am not kidding.
199
We must wait for the cow.
200
We drove past a dead body 15 minutes ago. That is probably him.
201
Like seriously, the driving situation over there is so intense, you guys.
202
One morning, one morning while we're there, I needed to get to the airport fast because I overslept.
203
And so I get in the cab and I hand the driver a $50 bill.
204
And I go, sir, I am running very late.
205
I need to get to the airport as soon as possible.
206
Whatever side street you have to take or back road, I'm all for it.
207
Whatever you have to do, let's do it.
208
And I hand him the money and he goes, very good, let's go.
209
And we take off.
210
The guy is hitting anywhere from 50 to 70 miles an hour on the street.
211
We are making incredible time.
212
I notice that we're heading in the direction of a red light.
213
Have you ever been in a car with someone?
214
and you're paying attention to what's going on and you notice that you're about to hit a red light,
215
and you know how you start to mentally and physically prepare yourself for the deceleration of the car, and you start anticipating the pressure from the brake,
216
and if you don't get the sensation of slowing down by a certain point, all alarms go off in your head, and you sock the driver in the chest.
217
Hey!
218
Not only did I not get the sensation of slowing down, I got the opposite.
219
He gunned it towards the light.
220
And it caught me off guard.
221
I couldn't even scream.
222
I was like, and then, and then I got air.
223
Hey, pull over, pull over.
224
He didn't even know what he did.
225
He looks at me, he goes, what is wrong?
226
What do you mean?
227
What is wrong?
228
Dude, didn't you see the red light?
229
As calm as can be.
230
Didn't you see?
231
There was no one there.
232
You told me, whatever you have to do, okay?
233
Whatever you have to do, you do.
234
Do you want to yell or do you want to make plane?
235
He made a good point.
236
I sounded like a third grader.
237
I want to make plane.
238
Like seriously, that's a video game I want to see.
239
I want to see Grand Theft Auto India.
240
It was so crazy, you guys.
241
And this is just us being there.
242
I haven't even gotten to the part of us performing.
243
We were in Mumbai, Bangalore, and Delhi.
244
Okay, these three places is where we went to perform.
245
Mumbai and Bangalore, the shows went over very, very well.
246
Okay, there were about 1,500 to 2,000 people, which is amazing for us going over there.
247
I was like excited, yes.
248
And then we get to Delhi.
249
And when we got to Delhi, you guys, it got a little crazy.
250
Martin walks out on stage and the crowd recognized him.
251
And they started chanting, Martin!
252
Anytime I hear that, I'm like, they know him, it's gonna be a good show.
253
So Martin starts cracking jokes.
254
The crowd starts laughing.
255
He's cracking more jokes.
256
The crowd keeps laughing.
257
All of a sudden, I hear this.
258
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
259
Martin doesn't say a word to them.
260
He gets off stage, next comedian comes out, and then Martin comes over to me and he says, Bro, I don't know what's going on, man.
261
I don't know what's going on out there.
262
There's these three guys in the front row.
263
They're laughing like Klingons from Star Trek.
264
I'm not going to address them.
265
I'm going to save them for you.
266
I was like, oh, thank you.
267
So then Martin goes back out there on stage, and he introduces me ladies and gentlemen gabriel iglesias
268
and then i run out on stage and the crowd started chanting fluffy fluffy
269
and i was like what's up delhi
270
and i start cracking jokes start getting laughs start cracking more jokes start getting more laughs and then it happened
271
Now see me, I can't avoid things, especially when it's front row center.
272
So I addressed it.
273
I came right out and I said, well, hello.
274
I said, what do we have here?
275
I said, so where are you guys from?
276
And the guy in the middle looks at me and he goes, we are from Germany.
277
I said, cool.
278
We have Germans in the house.
279
And the whole crowd got really weird.
280
You could hear them.
281
They freaked out because they thought I was gonna start making fun of the German people.
282
And one guy even stood up.
283
Don't do it!
284
Don't do it!
285
Don't do it!
286
I go relax bro, have a sit.
287
Don't do it!
288
I'm not gonna make fun of the German people.
289
That's the last thing I wanna do is offend them.
290
I don't wanna end up outside in an alley somewhere freaking in two hours.
291
And this is the last time we are going to tell you, do not make fun of German people.
292
As I'm doing this joke about a German kicking me on the floor with the accent, here's where it gets crazy.
293
I get hit in the side of the head by a bat.
294
Listen to what I just told you, Bay Area.
295
I get hit in the side of the head by a bat.
296
Not Major League Baseball.
297
I'm talking about I'm going to suck your blood.
298
In India there are millions and millions and millions of fruit bats and one of them, actually six of them, made it inside of the building
299
and they're flying around and they're hanging out in the rafters
300
and one of them decides to fly down and basically
301
when I was doing the kicks I stepped into the line of flight of the bat and he caught me right here.
302
I'm like what the hell?
303
I look up and you see it and you can hear it.
304
The Indian people saw that and they freaked out.
305
They were yelling, they did it!
306
They did it!
307
We told you, don't do it!
308
We told you, don't do it!
309
They are evil!
310
They are evil!
311
I'm like, dude, I don't care how evil you think the Germans are.
312
They don't have control over bats.
313
It wasn't like the guy got offended and said, oh really?
314
Unz release the bat.
315
So now the crowd is weird.
316
These guys are laughing.
317
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
318
And there's freaking bats flying around the theater.
319
First two minutes of my show.
320
I gotta do an hour.
321
And now I've already lost the crowd.
322
They're freaking out.
323
These guys are laughing weird.
324
I'm nervous.
325
It's my first time there.
326
I don't know how to get out of this.
327
So I literally walked over to the other side of the stage
328
and I started just performing for this side of the room.
329
Trying to redirect the focus right here.
330
And I'm so nervous.
331
I'm stuttering.
332
I don't even have a segue.
333
I'm like, you know what's crazy?
334
In America, everybody in America likes drinking.
335
You know, it's real crazy.
336
For example, Mexicans, most Mexicans, we like drinking tequila.
337
Most black people like Hennessy.
338
Most white people like Jaeger.
339
Here in India, you guys like Fanta.
340
And when I said Fanta, the crowd went crazy because it was such a local reference, they freaked out.
341
They were like screaming, oh my God, he knows, he knows.
342
They started singing.
343
Fanta, Fanta, don't you wanna, Fanta, Fanta, don't you wanna, Fanta, Fanta.
344
The roar was so big, it allowed me to restart my show.
345
So I started cracking new jokes and more jokes and these jokes and those jokes.
346
Five minutes go by.
347
Five minutes go by, all of a sudden, the Germans got offended at the fact that I left them out of my drinking joke.
348
The one in the middle stands up and he approaches the stage.
349
Now this stage has got to be about five feet tall.
350
The guy's head was about this high.
351
He was like 6'4".
352
He looks at me and he starts pointing and he's yelling.
353
Hey, Fat Nan!
354
Fat Nan!
355
What about us, huh?
356
What about the Germans?
357
What do we drink?
358
I was like, dude, that was like five minutes ago.
359
We were giving you a chance!
360
What do we drink?
361
I'm like, first of all, sir, I apologize.
362
I'm really nervous right now.
363
I had no idea there was gonna be Germans here tonight.
364
Yeah, it felt like Poland.
365
I don't care if you laugh or not, that's a smart-ass joke.
366
That's a smart-ass joke.
367
It's not my fault some of you pendejos failed history.
368
You better Google that and find out why it's so damn funny.
369
All the older white people are like, eh, goddammit, yeah.
370
So anyway, so I'm standing there and I go, listen, sir, you need to have a seat, okay?
371
Okay, the people are getting nervous.
372
You need to have a seat so I can finish the show
373
and the guys he refuses I will not sit down fat man until you tell us what we drink.
374
I go listen I don't know what you guys drink and the Indians are being so cute.
375
They're trying to help me.
376
They're yelling.
377
Hey, they like Fanta too And the guy was like we don't like Fanta I go sir, please have a seat.
378
I will not have a seat until you tell us what we drink.
379
Tell us fat man I go listen sir, you need to sit down and you need to stop calling me fat man Now it's starting to bother me.
380
It's like the sixth time he does it.
381
And I didn't just lose 100 pounds to now get called Fat Man.
382
So I go, sir, if you don't have a seat, we're going to have a problem, especially if you call me Fat Man again.
383
And he freaking did it.
384
What are you going to do, Fat Man?
385
What do I drink?
386
Even Martin, who's behind the curtain, knew.
387
He knows when I'm at that point where I've crossed over.
388
I can hear him in the back.
389
Don't do it.
390
Too late.
391
Fluffy's pissed.
392
So I said you want to know what you drink?
393
Tell me!
394
Don't ask me where this came from I got right in his face and I said blood of juice
395
Now see automatically you guys gave me a whole different reaction
396
in delhi that was probably the most shocking thing ever said on that stage so shocking that
397
2 000 people at the exact same time got
398
so quiet you guys so quiet you could hear everyone's ass just
399
and i'm still standing there my hands out have you ever said something that was so bad and I mean,
400
you knew it was bad as it was coming out of your mouth, and you're trying to stop it, but it's too late.
401
It's already out, and you're like, no. And it's too late.
402
Blood of juice is all over his face, right?
403
I'm standing there, and my hands are out.
404
I'm looking at him.
405
He's looking at me, and I'm like, ah!
406
He says, that's a good one.
407
Yeah, that's a good one.
408
Oh, my God, thank you.
409
Thank you.
410
It doesn't end there.
411
I'm telling you guys, this is so crazy So next morning, Martin
412

この動画は誰におすすめ？
英語の会話力向上や、ネイティブスピーカーの発音・リズムを学びたい中級レベルの学習者に最適です。日常的な会話から文化的な比較まで幅広い内容が含まれ、shadow speak（シャドーイング）の練習にもぴったりです。リラックスした雰囲気の中で自然な英語表現を吸収できます。
覚えておきたいフレーズとイディオム
動画の中には使える表現がたくさんあります。代表的なものを紹介します：
- Namaste：インドの挨拶語で、「尊敬して挨拶します」という意味。手を合わせて頭を少し下げながら使います。
- third world country：「第三世界の国」という古い表現で、開発途上国を指しますが、現在はより中立的な言い方が推奨されています。
- kink in his neck：「首の筋肉が凝る」こと。動画ではインド人の頭の動きを説明する際に使われています。
発音をマスターするコツ
この動画のスピーカーはガブリエル・イグレシアスで、彼の発音はゆっくりとしていて分かりやすいです。shadowing site で練習する際は、以下のポイントに注意しましょう：
- 「Namaste」の発音は「ナマステ」ではなく、「ナマスティ」に近いです。最後の「e」は軽く発音します。
- インド人の頭の動きを説明する際の「side to side」は、「サイド・トゥ・サイド」というよりも「左右に」という意味で、リズミカルに発音します。
- スピーカーのリズムに合わせて shadow speech を行い、ポーズや強調の位置を覚えましょう。
動画で英語学習をすることで、文化的背景も理解しながら自然な英語を身につけることができます。shadowspeaks のような方法を使って繰り返し練習すれば、会話力が飛躍的に向上します。
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。
