1
Everyone that was in New York City
2
when the Knicks won the finals has is a story of
3
when they were in New York City when the Knicks won the finals.
4
This is my story.
5
Not going well.
6
Still can't get it up.
7
They can't seem to get the game, the live game up.
8
My little girls wanted to go to like a watch party, but the watch parties are just, they're too chaotic.
9
Court.
10
So the wife and I thought, why not throw our own watch party?
11
So I came to the studio, we got the projector, I got a speaker,
12
got the battery, and then we found a nice spot and we set things up.
13
This is what it looked like when we started.
14
We found a nice spot on a street where cars can't drive down, three little kids, and four chairs.
15
One of the chairs was for me.
16
Important detail here.
17
When I'm with my kids, I don't have cameras and stuff because I like to be present with them.
18
So this whole night, like the greatest
19
New York City night, I didn't film anything.
20
Like I had a point shoot I got a couple clips
21
but everything else is just like photos
22
and videos from my friends phone maybe we'll see a Nick's win at the watch party
23
almost immediately people started joining our little projector party fantastic
24
but there were some technical snafus see the projector didn't have a Bluetooth
25
and then the speaker didn't have like cable in so I had to connect the speaker to Candace's phone,
26
stream it from Candace's phone to the speaker, and then line that up with the projector, but we got it to work.
27
Working great.
28
Then I realized every time I looked over my shoulder the crowd had doubled.
29
That would have been fine.
30
We're gonna get a second look at...
31
Like exponentially.
32
Come back in for the last 225.
33
Everyone was having just the greatest time.
34
I can't believe you put this all together.
35
Towards the end of the third quarter, the crowd had grown to like several hundred.
36
But I noticed something catastrophic.
37
When we got there, the battery's at 100%.
38
That was at the beginning of the second quarter.
39
At this moment there was two minutes
40
and 25 seconds left in the third quarter and the battery was at 22 %
41
So in my head I did some quick battery math
42
With 225 left in the third quarter the battery is at 22 %
43
So if you have the second quarter plus the third quarter minus the 225 left in that quarter
44
You get a total of 21 minutes and 35 seconds of gameplay watch that equals
45
1295 seconds 1295 seconds equals 78 % of the total battery life T equals 1295 over .78,
46
which is about 1660 .26 seconds.
47
Divide that by 60 and you get the total battery life, which is 27 minutes and 40 seconds.
48
Take 27 minutes and 40 seconds minus the battery life used.
49
You're left with 6 minutes and 5 seconds before the battery hits zero.
50
Now with 225 left in the third, 12 minutes in the fourth, you have 14 minutes and 25 seconds of gameplay left.
51
And you take that 14 minutes and 25 seconds of gameplay left,
52
you minus the 6 minutes and 5 seconds that the battery is left in it.
53
And it means with 8 minutes and 20 seconds of gameplay left, the battery is dead.
54
Catastrophic.
55
Nixon fire!
56
Nixon fire!
57
Nixon fire!
58
This was when the magic that is the people of New York City came together.
59
First, this dude sitting right behind me. That guy.
60
He ran all the way back to his apartment and grabbed every extension cord he had.
61
We conjured up about 35 feet of daisy -chained extension cords.
62
Then I went and got my car, but NYPD wouldn't let me get anywhere near a closed -down street that had 300 people on it.
63
I begged them.
64
Very precarious situation.
65
In any event, I got my truck close enough to plug an extension cord into my truck,
66
and then run that from my truck back to the projector. But...
67
In order to switch power from the battery to the extension cord,
68
I had to unplug it and undo all that stuff that I set up at the beginning.
69
I did that.
70
The power worked.
71
But then nothing else worked.
72
We were down for like five or six minutes.
73
The crowd was getting tested.
74
I was able to get the audio back up because
75
that was coming off Candace's phone and I felt like that bought me a couple of minutes, but the pressure was on.
76
This is how it works.
77
I was like covered in sweat.
78
There was like this huge dude next to me helping me, but I, there was a moment I didn't think it was going to happen.
79
Not going well.
80
Then just like that as if God himself Jalen Brunson reached down from the clouds
81
and blessed us it came back on with five minutes left in the fourth quarter Yes!
82
Good class!
83
Yes!
84

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.
