Good morning, I just finished work, so what a good day, but if you have watched my last video,

you might know what I'm going to talk about, but in my last video, as a quick little update,

I was talking about that potentially I'm going to lose my job to AI, and I lost it uh they my last days on friday

so that's fun um i'm now jobless for the foreseeable future um until obviously i can find something

but yeah it's just kind of really sets the vibe

that ai is really taking over and i feel like i have first -hand experience

if it if I didn't have first -hand experience

if I was hearing about this from somebody else they're like yeah you know AI is advancing

and blah blah I'd be like yeah whatever sure I know

but at the same time I would be like yeah

but you know how true is that but

because I have first -hand experience

and I can really see how AI is developing um

because I had to call a law firm I was answered by an AI bot

which was fun obviously it was not as good as talking to a human being

and then they didn't even let me talk to a human being

so that was fun um but yeah basically AI is everywhere

and I hate it I hate it with a deep passion we as a family are not consuming anything

that has ai in it like any youtube videos any music videos

or any music any songs we are not consuming anything ai even before i was fired

or even knew that i was potentially going to be fired we already stopped using anything ai

so i would recommend

that you as well do not consume anything that's ai um

i feel like on youtube it's pretty obvious at least for us

because like we're youtubers to see who has used ai for their thumbnails

and their titles or anything but for the thumbnail specifically

if they have ai in their thumbnails

i am not clicking on the video just as a like i don't know i don't know how effective

that is but that just feels good for us

and for me to do so we're not going to do

that and yeah ideally i wouldn't also be going to

that law firm that is also using ai because

that was someone's job a receptionist a customer you know care person does not have a job there

because an ai is just answering all the calls

so i don't like that but of course the majority of the stuff

that you know has to do with ai is completely out of my control

so i can't really do too much

but i will do as much as i can wherever i can

and i recommend

that you guys do the same just as a principle of supporting human beings just art songs videos everything yeah

i hope

that we can retain like the human beauty of imperfection of creating your own things about sharing with other people

and not ai by the way today is thursday

so tomorrow's my last day and today i finished up for today still had to work

which is you know whatever

but i only have to work two more days after they told me

so it's whatever it does feel like a really weird situation to be at work

while being fired while also you know having to do the job

but anyway what is the plan for today kind of clean up the van, there are lots of fan chores, there's always things to do.

I found your head rolling down the alley

Spent the day looking for your body

Remember how I met you

Dancing to the music

Maybe your cross needs to have this giant staff with me, it's literally huge.

Can you see the water?

Yeah.

I'm hoping though, there is a bridge over there.

I'm hoping now though.

I can spend more time with baby now that I don't have work

and I'm going to have lots of fun with him I'm going to get into lots of adventures and actually plan activities

This is also basically a park up that we could have been at, that's beautiful I guess the road over there is a little rough

But it could work

We have decided to actually stock up on a few essentials with food items

Because there's been a few countries that have recommended to stock up in a few days

We actually have very little space in our van right now to do

that so we're gonna get put our bikes in storage

and we're gonna get a box fill it with food you know pastas rice canned food just

so we have a little bit extra on the side

because our van cannot store that much food anyway

so we're gonna have a little bit more in the back

and we're also gonna make sure

that we have a little bit of cash as well on us just

so we had a situation where our bank can now crash twice

and we had no access so to prevent

that we're gonna have a bit of cash

i'm gonna have some food sucked up in the back just to make sure

that we are you know being smart being a bit safe i'd rather be safe than sorry

so that's our plan

i'm curious to know do you guys have food stored up

as well have you heard the news have you have other countries said

that you know you should suck up on a few days in case

there's some kind of shutdown of the internet or anything like

that let me know in the comments there's boar footprints going down

this way we actually saw a boar on the road

when we were driving once just recently i think it was yesterday

and it was

so weird to see a wild boar it was the first time ever on our trip

that we saw honestly almost any wild animal

which is kind of crazy to say that was interesting there's only one

but it was huge

and it just did not care in the middle of the road

it was just like walking slowly like nonchalant like it's it's their road

which i mean it is i guess

but i do not want to come across one of those in the night

because I'm sure that would be freaky as heck we just came back from the clerk

and we got a couple things we got to be some vitamins

because we ran out which is really good

and we wanted to get some hot dogs like some sausages to make hot dogs they didn't have the ones

that we love they actually didn't have very much at all we thought maybe some burgers

100

when the burgers are really expensive and there's lots of toys

101

that we saw of course and but we're gonna have the hot dog buns

102

but with chicken like patties I guess I don't know how to call it

103

but it's like

104

if anyone knows it's like an imitation of like the chicken

105

fillet roll from Ireland kind of you need to do it usually do with like baguettes

106

but it's kind of a knockoff version of

107

that for today like yet yeah we want to eat something quickly

108

so we can get on the road it's getting

109

or it's free it's basically dark already i also

110

i'm starting to take these vitamins they're huge my baby isn't like the rest

111

he actually wants to take his vitamins he just asked baby take vitamins yeah

112

and these ones are like the flavor of peach

113

which i think might be delicious i'm curious

114

they smell like every other vitamin they're very very medicine -y

115

you know you ready oh they're much more like peachy color though the ones were a lot more red

116

or orange i mean how's that a little different yeah but okay yeah and some water

117

the hot dog is done look at that oh

118

that looks good i got some curry ketchup

119

which i don't even know what we got i think

120

we got it from little yeah little we get most of our things from little

121

or one of those stores but this looks pretty darn good i'm excited to try actually really good

122

honestly i'm not sure if the curry ketchup fits it's

123

so sweet but it's really good all right it is already time for bed

124

and we've been playing minecraft the entire time we're trying a new mod pack called cisco's adventure or something like that

125

and it's a lot there's a lot of a lot in it

126

and i feel like we're too old this point to like be playing for too long

127

so you're playing for like a couple hours anyway which is already so long

128

bedtime it's 10 10 past 10 i'm gonna go to sleep

129

and i'll couch up with you tomorrow i finished my work

130

that was my last day and it felt really odd but right now we're at a playground and baby's having a blast.

131

It's quite chilly but it's fun to run around.

132

There's a car over there.

133

Show you guys.

134

Not a tiny car, it's a big car.

135

Yeah but I'm feeling very positive.

136

I also had the meeting with my solicitor to sign some papers

137

so I'm feeling a lot of relief that all that is done now.

138

I just need to sign it and get it sent over, return my laptop.

139

And then once that is done, then my day at the company is over.

140

Besides that, I feel good.

141

I feel positive about the future.

142

I feel good about spending time with my baby.

143

I'm going to have more time for that.

144

Hold on!

145

Hold on, Rani.

146

Rani!

147

But I think I'm going to end it here.

148

And I'll see you.

149

Oh, there goes the pause.

150

I'll see you for Halloween.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
