1
Today we're gonna be exposing the most evil babysitter in the world!
2
You guys know we have dealt with some pretty terrible babysitters before.
3
And every single time we have proved that they should be kept far away from kids.
4
And this time we got a whole van of professional gear like these fire glasses
5
or this hidden mic that'll help us expose her.
6
And the main reason why we're doing this is because a few days ago one of our subscribers reached out for help.
7
with the parents to plan our secret operation.
8
And we're here to check it.
9
Michael, Rocco, let's get out of time and help our subscribers.
10
Michael, Mike.
11
- What's your, what's your checkin' checkin'?
12
- Alright, Mike, you set, Rocco.
13
Camera?
14
- Camera's on.
15
- Alright.
16
- Hi guys.
17
- Hi.
18
- Good afternoon.
19
So right here is Rocco.
20
Rocco's gonna be our eyes, 'cause he has these glasses that can record us.
21
Also, Michael over here is with the microphone, Wow, this is like a spy movie.
22
Yeah, we're professional.
23
Yeah.
24
Guys, guys, she's just a nanny.
25
Sir, take her on your estimate of who she is.
26
Yeah, mom, she's really bad.
27
She makes us do our homework every time, twice.
28
If you guys can prove that she's bad, then I'll fire her.
29
Yes!
30
But if you can't, then you guys are gonna have to listen to everything she says with no complaining.
31
Well, we'll prove to her.
32
She's coming, she's coming.
33
- Well guys, I'm gonna be waiting for you in the ice cream truck.
34
- Go.
35
- Hurry up.
36
- All right, we got this.
37
- And here she is.
38
- Hi, everyone.
39
- Hi.
40
- Wow.
41
- Wow.
42
- Y 'all got her Instagram?
43
- Rocco, stop.
44
- Hi.
45
- Hi.
46
- Hi.
47
- These are the kids' friends, Rocco and Michael.
48
They're gonna be staying with you today.
49
The more the merrier.
50
Do you guys want to run inside?
51
Yeah.
52
So we gotta run, but here's the schedule for the day.
53
It's perfect.
54
Family clock.
55
You need it.
56
Of course I love structure.
57
Alright, we'll see you later.
58
Okay, yeah, sounds good.
59
Alrighty, bye -bye.
60
Guys, don't worry, we're professionals.
61
Yeah, and if the nanny's actually that, we're exposing.
62
What did you say about the nanny?
63
What's wrong with you?
64
Are you serious?
65
- Are you blind?
66
- No, I just didn't see the bar.
67
- You didn't?
68
- Uh -huh.
69
- So then what are these for?
70
- Who's my glasses?
71
No!
72
No!
73
What are you doing?
74
- Why did you do that to the glasses?
75
- What?
76
What's...
77
No!
78
No!
79
She's actually a villain!
80
How are they gonna see us now?
81
- You can't shoot Rocco like that!
82
You can't shoot anyone like that!
83
- Oh, did you say something?
84
- What are you doing?

Ow!
180
Oh, that's funny.
181
All right, my darling, ready for the park.
182
- Why can't you move that?
183
- Before, just get ready and clean up, okay?
184
- Clean up?
185
- You literally did that to him.
186
- How did she just do that?
187
- Oh, she does this every day.
188
- This was really bad.
189
She destroyed all of our equipment and made our guys clean up her mess.
190
I knew she was evil.
191
Oh, the mic is down.
192
What did I do?
193
What did I do?
194
How will they believe us now?
195
But without footage, the parents will never believe me.
196
Ugh.
197
We're like FBI agents now.
198
Where have you been?
199
You missed everything.
200
What happened?
201
So she basically broke the glasses and dumped water all over Michael.
202
So now we don't have any video and audio.
203
But I'm trying to connect to them.
204
Maybe it was an accident?
205
Well, I don't really think so.
206
And what does this do?
207
Don't touch you because if we press this button, it'll automatically call first responders.
208
Let's hope we don't press that.
209
Yeah, I hope we don't even have to.
210
Look!
211
They're going somewhere!
212
There's my little funnies, buckle up!
213
It's too tight!
214
Buckle up now or you're going in the trunk!
215
Where's my Look, they're leaving!
216
We have to follow them now!
217
Can you drive?
218
I'll drive.
219
I'll drive.
220
Come on, quickly!
221
Let's go!
222
We have to stay on them!
223
And that's when we started the chase.
224
One wrong turn, and we'd lose her.
225
So we stayed as close as possible.
226
But right when we needed to keep moving, the worst possible thing happened.
227
The bridge started opening!
228
And while she made it across, we got stuck on the other side.
229
But luckily we have one secret left.
230
A hidden tracker in the family car.
231
It's raining.
232
Now we wanna go home.
233
Me too.
234
Exactly.
235
We're letting the only people in this park.
236
We're already at the park.
237
We're on a schedule.
238
We're not going anywhere.
239
I don't care.
240
We tracked you to the park.
241
Now all we had to do was catch you doing something bad.
242
Helmets, elbow pads, all of it.
243
Bro, no one wears helmets.
244
Exactly.
245
We're not babies.
246
It ruins the vibe.
247
Yeah.
248
- Yeah.
249
Hey, it's a coconut.
250
Hey, why didn't you take a scooter?
251
Oh my god.
252
That's my scooter.
253
That's your head without the helmet.
254
Ahhhh!
255
Oh, did you see that?
256
Look over there.
257
Look over there.
258
Whoa, how does she do that?
259
You see?
260
They never listen.
261
If she keeps them in helmets, I'm hiring her for life.
262
Oh my god, didn't you see the coconut that she broke with the scooter?
263
Huh, what coconut?
264
Oh my god, I'm going back in.
265
I can't say anything with these.
266
Um, what are you planning to do?
267
I need proof, real proof.
268
So you guys stay here and I'm gonna get closer.
269
I knew she was hiding who she really was.
270
To prepare to see the real proof, I had to get close enough to catch her and myself.
271
He's going like this?
272
He looks like Bigfoot.
273
Trust me.
274
Target in sight!
275
Do you copy?
276
Loud and clear!
277
Okay, good.
278
Continue observation.
279
Camera quality?
280
4K.
281
Okay, good.
282
Nothing yet except she's standing in the middle of the park.
283
Not safe.
284
Yeah, I mean, you know how it is.
285
Hey, watch out!
286
Excuse me.
287
Well, you're literally in the middle of a skateboard.
288
She almost hit me.
289
Okay, well that's because you're on your phone.
290
My phone?
291
Yes.
292
My phone?
293
Yes.
294
No, wait, look at the screen.
295
She grabbed me the skateboard look at the screen look she's doing it wait wait Michael stop!
296
Michael!
297
Please!
298
Michael!
299
What's that?
300
Michael it's me!
301
What are you doing in here?
302
I was so close to getting a perfect shot! Did you see?
303
She broke a good skateboard!
304
Now?
305
No way!
306
No one gets hurt.
307
What?
308
That was a skateboard!
309
Oh my god!
310
Like why would you do that?
311
I know, I know.
312
Insane, yeah.
313
No, it's fine.
314
It's so fine.
315
Can you get that on camera?
316
No, because you passed into me!
317
It's going crazy.
318
What?
319
Who's ever been to the house?
320
I agree.
321
This is getting real.
322
Michael, we're getting exposure.
323
Skateboards are dangerous.
324
So, did you find anything suspicious?
325
Like in the bushes?
326
I just...
327
Mr. Break somebody's skateboard she is not normal.
328
I know she's great.
329
That's not the point.
330
I got a new plan The bush plan failed, but this wasn't over
331
while she was still out with the kids We had one last chance to get proof that we needed
332
Now we got to put all these hidden cameras everywhere around the house before they come back.
333
Okay, let's do it Let's do it inside the fridge Just like that
334
Which gave us a little more time hurry run faster.
335
I'm hungry.
336
Hurry let's go hurry.
337
I'm hungry Thank you You had no idea that why she was away.
338
We were hiding cameras in places.
339
She would never expect And that's not exactly what I'd call a healthy babysitter choice.
340
What's the hold up?
341
Oh my God! And you!
342
Stop annoying me!
343
She's going crazy.
344
I need to record this so I can show this to Vlad.
345
Oh!
346
Yeah!
347
You got it?
348
You got it on video?
349
She's coming back!
350
You're crazy!
351
You're crazy!
352
The line was moving slowly, which helped us, but it also gave the babysitter more time to lose control
353
and the kids were stuck in the car with her.
354
I don't want this!
355
This is not what I asked for.
356
I've been waiting for 10 minutes over a coffee.
357
What the heck?
358
She finally got her order and started heading back, but we still had a few cameras left to hide.
359
Our time was running out and so were her patients.
360
She was yelling at the kids, at other drivers, hulking at everyone.
361
But the thing that scared me the most is realizing she was watching TikTok while driving.
362
What?
363
I can see!
364
What are you talking about?
365
Oh, you threw her coffee at her windshield!
366
Wait, what is that sound?
367
If she walked in and found us, the whole plan would be over.
368
Oh no, they came back!
369
We need to get out of here now!
370
Follow me, we'll go out the back.
371
We made it through the back door, but we still had to reach the van without the babysitter catching us.
372
I have no clue what you're saying.
373
Jump!
374
Alright, we're sticking with the schedule.
375
Let's see.
376
Okay, you two kitchen clean up and then you two...
377
That's not fair.
378
That is not fair.
379
Why were we doing your job?
380
Yes, matter of fact, I'm going to go to the parents.
381
Oh!
382
I think we can go.
383
Bobby!
384
We're live!
385
The cameras are working!
386
Yes, let's go!
387
But there's no sound.
388
No audio?
389
Yeah, but the video's the most important part.
390
Hey, you little rebels!
391
Phone, now.
392
Now.
393
Thank you.
394
Phones.
395
Kitchen.
396
They took away their phones!
397
Well that's actually good parenting.
398
You two are gonna come with me and we're gonna go do some homework, okay?
399
While the cameras are recording, the guys need to make sure they lose control on camera.
400
So the parents can finally see who she really is.
401
What are you doing?
402
Muscle memory.
403
Alright, focus, focus.
404
I'm focused.
405
Here's the plan.
406
How about we don't do this at all?
407
That will make it even worse.
408
Dang, Grace!
409
I like it!
410
You ready?
411
All right, my darlings, let's start off with homework.
412
All right, let's see what you've done.
413
Homework?
414
Here.
415
Look, she's actually helping with their homework.
416
I don't know, something feels a little sketchy about this.
417
Ah, my phone's dead.
418
Do you have a charger?
419
Oh, yeah, over there, of course.
420
What is this?
421
Oh!
422
Oh!
423
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no I need to fix it fast because missing even one moment could ruin everything.
424
What is this?
425
What do you mean I did everything right?
426
No. Oh terrible.
427
Why did you do that?
428
You think you're so smart?
429
Do it again. Do it again!
430
But I tried my best!
431
Well try harder!
432
We're back!
433
See, we didn't miss anything.
434
Just doing homework.
435
Yeah, I guess.
436
Let's go!
437
She's not gonna like this one!
438
How are my hard -working boys?
439
Did we finish the dishes?
440
Huh, yeah, kind of.
441
Oh, you did it.
442
And just when we were finally about to catch on camera...
443
Hey, I'm sorry.
444
Do you have chocolate ice cream?
445
Some random guy saw our secret van and decided this was the perfect time to buy himself an ice cream.
446
We're out.
447
You're out?
448
We were just...
449
You did it!
450
How dare you ignore me!
451
John, stop!
452
What about raspberry?
453
We are out, sorry.
454
You don't deserve it.
455
What do we eat with?
456
Now you eat with your hands.
457
No!
458
Out of everything.
459
Sorry.
460
Okay.
461
Okay.
462
Thank you.
463
And if you can't handle it, it's fine.
464
So far nothing suspicious.
465
She's actually being pretty sweet with the boys.
466
I'll see you guys outside in one minute, okay?
467
Wow.
468
That worked way too well.
469
At least I got a little camera.
470
I hope this bitch is on their way.
471
Yeah, you too, because I'm actually scared her for now.
472
I mean, she wore a furniture.
473
Everyone hear it now!
474
You think this is funny?
475
You think you can mess with me?
476
Set me up with your parents?
477
But think again, you can't.
478
And if anyone tries anything against me, there'll be knots in your head.
479
Look, they're playing charades!
480
It's so funny.
481
It's like some tea in a magic trick.
482
A fling out of a hat.
483
How hard is it for you to not get?
484
Your kids are scared for their own lives!
485
Just your imagination.
486
She's probably saying, "If you guys do not do this, I'll break you !" Okay, I think this experiment is over.
487
Let's go grab some pizza and go home.
488
Only if I had audio!
489
Like, why?
490
Why are you quiet?
491
You told me to be silent!
492
Go clean my car, now!
493
What?
494
What's she...
495
- - This is insane!
496
Bro, just keep doing it!
497
- - - - - - - Michael?
498
- What happened?
499
- This isn't her name.
500
- Is that bad?
501
- Bro, that's proof!
502
- Oh, then, when did you get to Vlad?
503
I'm gonna go inside and get the cameras.
504
What did she ask for?
505
Yeah, don't worry, I'm going to clean.
506
Let's do it!
507
I'm going to get the cameras.
508
Lassie's a good job hiding these.
509
Kids are playing.
510
We're standing there.
511
Blast, we found our real documents while we're cleaning your garden.
512
What did I go find?
513
Documents under a different name, wait.
514
Oh my god, this is bad.
515
She's an escape psychiatric patient on a high risk level?
516
No, I'm ridiculous.
517
She's not a babysitter.
518
What are you doing?
519
Nothing.
520
Nothing.
521
Oh, what's this?
522
Get out of here!
523
Hey!
524
Shh!
525
*Sigh
526
Sigh Sigh Sigh Sigh Sigh *
527
*Sigh
528
Sigh Sigh Sigh Sigh Sigh Sigh * You guys are trying to spy on me?
529
You're gonna regret this.
530
No!
531
Where are the babies?
532
I need to save my friends!
533
I pushed my button because my friend is in danger and he needs help!
534
There's no more locks!
535
Come on there ask me another way please please please!
536
Oh yes!
537
It's unlocked!
538
Rocco!
539
Oh, Rocco what happened?
540
Brad get me out, the BBC has gone crazy!
541
She's done too far!
542
Wait Rocco, where's something you're cutting with?
543
Check the closet!
544
Where's Michael?
545
I don't know!
546
Michael?
547
Michael?
548
What?
549
What?
550

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.
