Well, pregame, it's like deciding where I'm going to start.

And like I've got a bunch of kind of new stuff that I'm working on tonight.

So it's like trying to, I look at it one last time because I can kind of see those pages in my mind.

And then once I get started, I'll try to figure them out like, you know.

more marriage, more singles, and try to anticipate what I might talk about,

so yeah I'm just trying to get everything to the forefront of my mind.

It's sometimes you have to kind of shift gears between the meet

and greet and remembering people and then it's like now it's like remember what you want to talk about.

They kind of show you where they want to go.

So sometimes I'll have an idea when I go up, hey, I want to talk about this or that,

but I'll change my mind when I get up there and start seeing what they're like.

So that's kind of the fun of it, those trying to figure out, trying to figured them out.

Is it time?

One minute?

Well, I guess that's time.

Okay, I know you're waiting, so I am so pleased,

the River Center for the Performing Arts is so so pleased to present Jeff Foxworthy. So kind.

Thank you.

That is very kind um thank you for spending your time

and your money to come see me because I'm what's left of Jeff Foxworthy

so uh you guys beautiful crowd how you doing up there

in the Abraham Lincoln seats we're good little piece of advice lock the door um behind you there

so uh I have to share this with you all this

has happened to me probably 15 times in the last few months including the Home Depot in LaGrange

and the tractor supply in Columbus someone has come up to

me happened last Saturday at the airport in Atlanta lady comes

up she goes I hate to bother you she goes do you know who you look like

and I said I forgot I got a pretty good idea and she goes Sam Elliott

she was kind of cute

so I said beef is what's for dinner I don't even look like me anymore

but I guess it could be worse Sam's not bad right

ladies kind of like Sam she could have she could have said Danny DeVito

so I am I'm sure it's the the gray hair

and the gray mustache

but I'm not about to color it I have earned every one of these the only thing

that bothers me about that is I'm 67 and Sam's 82 years old,

so maybe I need to moisturize or something,

but no, we both probably passed the apex of our splendor, but still hanging in there,

you know, because I am loving this season of life.

I think this is my favorite season of life, and I tell my kids all the time, I go, I miss my 30 year old body

but i would not give up my 67 year old mind and soul to get it back

it's it's a it's a good spot

but for the first time you do start thinking about how

much sand do i have left in the hourglass yeah

and science has taught us you know that if you eat junk food

and sit in a recliner and watch tv what's gonna happen to you when you get old you're gonna die Conversely,

if you will eat healthy and work out every day, you're gonna die you just get a few years tacked on at the end

and I have seen the years that get tacked on

and it ain't a big selling point you got the wheelchair

posse in the lobby of the nursing home all of them

look like they're about to get their teeth clean you know

and you know they're thinking I ate kale

and bean sprouts for this and I'm not making fun of them

because they don't want to be that way you know nobody

and they'll tell you that they're like oh I don't want to be a burden

and usually by the time someone says they don't want to be a burden you're

so far past burden you can't see it in the rearview mirror you know

and yeah it's like I don't I'm sorry honey I don't

I don't want to be a burden you're not a burden mama lean over just a little bit

so I can wipe your ass and you know how you can tell

if somebody was a burden is when you go to their funeral

and you go up to their loved ones

and you go oh man we're so sorry to hear about your mom and they It was a blessing,

a big, big blessing, I can tell you that.

Listen, after the services, if y 'all would like to come back to the house, we're going to have a little food and a DJ and some fireworks.

So hopefully I'm not quite to that point yet.

I am trying to age gracefully.

That's what I'm trying to do is be age appropriate

because a lot of people aren't a lot of people a

lot of people fight it like crazy like I have a cousin she has had

so much work done to her her lips I don't know

what she did to her lips look like the business end

of a plunger um like you could push her head against a sliding glass door and she couldn't get off, you know?

And she's had so many facelifts.

Her face is stretched so tight, her ears are on the back of her head.

And you cannot sneak up on her.

You can't do it.

But the craziest thing she did, for her 60th birthday, her husband bought her a boob job.

and let me tell you they got their money's worth on

this they did not just puff up the empty mittens i

mean she got torpedoes dude like you know how some women

will stick their phone in their cleavage she puts her laptop in there and i don't care

if anybody gets a boob job i mean it's their business i'm just thinking And if you were going to do that, why would you wait till 60?

I mean, that's like building a giant deck onto a condemned house.

Some people just get mad about getting older.

My Uncle Joe was like that.

But we always do Thanksgiving down at the farm down here.

And about four or five years ago, he said during one Thanksgiving, he goes, I want to say this to all of y 'all.

He goes, before y 'all put me in a nursing home, I want you to promise me you'll kill me and make it look like an accident.

No, Joe, I'm not promising that.

I'm not going to jail

so you don't have to live in your favorite place, you know

and his kids bless their heart they handled it beautifully because

when it came time

that he needed to go to a nursing home they just all flew to Spain

and let him run with the bulls well he was in a wheelchair more like rolling with the bulls

but they didn't have to go to jail

and he went out tick -tock famous so that was a great video I can tell you that

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.
