1
I thought I had COVID about three times.
2
I'm one of those idiots.
3
I was like, I think I have it.
4
Can you feel?
5
I'm bad with pain, too.
6
Like, the other day, I hit my elbow right on that spot where if I had a gun, I'd be dead now.
7
You know, that's...
8
I can't do pain.
9
That's why I could never be a cop.
10
I couldn't walk around with a gun right here.
11
There's 50 things a day where I'd be like, fuck that, that ain't worth...
12
That's my main problem, by the way, with the whole defund the police idea.
13
What about people that want to commit suicide by cop?
14
What about them?
15
Anyway, we'll put a pin in that, but...
16
We had a lot of protests in New York, and now we have protestors that just live here.
17
They're not at a protest, they're just here.
18
I saw a protester in Washington Square Park.
19
She had green hair and dirty legs.
20
and she's holding a little piece of cardboard and it's with a sharpie it said abolish billionaires she's standing there
21
and I thought I don't think it's gonna do it it doesn't feel like that's gonna result and Jeff Bezos what's happening
22
Sadly, it's going to be okay for him.
23
I thought it was good how young people got out there and they expressed themselves.
24
They went out there to solve a lot of problems.
25
Not all problems, but some of them.
26
They went out there to stop discrimination.
27
Not all discrimination, just some of it, which is a weird form of discrimination.
28
There are groups.
29
there are groups that are discriminated against who don't have any protesters
30
or any people working for them and we all discriminate against these people like ugly people, everybody discriminates against ugly people they do
31
and it's awful I'd rather be discriminated against for my race than for being ugly
32
you might not lose a job or a promotion but nobody kisses you on the lips your whole fucking life, try that
33
this is what we say to ugly people we don't like your face we just don't like it
34
so no one's going to fall in love with you
35
and it's unanimous sorry
36
and we just expect ugly people would be like oh no
37
I understand I mean sure it's my head shape it's no good for you
38
so I'll with well go without the things
39
that matter in life also overweight people overweight people deal with things
40
that none of us deal with because I'm not overweight
41
there's people who are discriminated against
42
because of their weight I read a story once about a woman who's 600 pounds
43
and she couldn't get medical care
44
because everything she goes to the doctor he just says it's
45
because she's fat everything she's like my knees hurt he's like
46
yeah my knees hurt just looking at you what do you
47
think was gonna happen she's like i have chest pains he says yeah
48
because your organs are over capacity
49
so they're hurting she's like i got shot in the head he's like yeah
50
because you're fat somebody shot you in the head because you're fat
51
it's a terrible story here's the worst part of the story
52
and this is true this is true she needed an MRI
53
because she had something serious she's 600 pounds
54
she doesn't fit in the machine
55
you know what they did they sent her to the zoo I'm not kidding they sent her to the fucking zoo
56
that's what we do for fat people we need an MRI hey here's your prescription go to the zoo
57
yeah that's where you should go you should go to the zoo
58
by the way you know how many fat people
59
we have in this country about 600 trillion billion thousands of them
60
you know how many trans people there are about 38 but
61
if you're trans and you need a restroom
62
and it's awkward we'll change every restroom but if you're fat
63
and need an MRI you go to the zoo you fat bitch just
64
Let's go to the zoo.
65
You go experience that today.
66
What happens when she gets to the zoo?
67
What actually fucking happens when she arrives at the zoo?
68
Hi.
69
Are you here to see the monkeys?
70
No, I'm here for an MRI.
71
oh shit all right yeah uh -huh okay just stand in the straw over here
72
yeah you're after the walrus who has lymphoma
73
By the way, why is there an MRI machine at the fucking zoo?
74
Who was developing that instead of a fat human being MRI?
75
Who's paying for this shit?
76
You don't give an elephant a fucking magnetic resonance image test.
77
What are you fucking high?
78
That's obscene.
79
If an elephant is sick, you just listen.
80
You do this thing.
81
I'm saying this out of respect for elephants, by the way, because we're supposed to respect how they live.
82
They don't fucking cure their diseases.
83
This is not their culture.
84
This is our weird.
85
Let's fix it.
86
Oh, he's sick.
87
That's not how elephants live.
88
An elephant in the Serengeti isn't like, I have a lump.
89
I have to see my oncologist.
90
When an elephant gets cancer, he falls over and he takes his fucking turn and becomes food.
91
You don't put an elephant in a state -of -the -art .
92
What if you find cancer?
93
What, are you going to give him chemotherapy?
94
Skinny elephant with a pink baseball hat?
95
Each day is a gift.
96
I love animals.
97
I do.
98
I do.
99
We have a weird relationship to animals.
100
We name them, and we play with them, and we kill them, and we eat them, and we stuff them, and we draw them.
101
I have a dog.
102
I love my dog, but I don't know my dog.
103
We've never had a conversation, not one time.
104
I talk, and she just hears...
105
She looks at me and I'm like, yes.
106
She's like, what, you don't know what the fuck I'm thinking.
107
Fuck you.
108
I don't know this bitch.
109
I have no idea what she's thinking.
110
I really wish I did.
111
I wish I knew what she was thinking.
112
It's my biggest wish maybe in life is that I knew, because I know she has thoughts.
113
I know she does.
114
There's no way she's just like, dog.
115
There's stuff going on in here.
116
I've seen it.
117
You ever watch your dog make a decision?
118
you ever watch your dog just walk in the room and look around like
119
yeah i'm gonna go over here why please tell me why
120
i think my dog thinks i'm insane
121
because i look at my life through her through her eyes like I'll watch TV for four hours
122
and from my dog's point of view, I'm just sitting there
123
What the fuck is he laughing what happened
124
my dog is my life now
125
because my kids are growing up my kids are in college
126
and they're all you know I'm an empty nester that's what you call it
127
when your kids are gone because they grew up not
128
if they're dead it's not used that way my daughter died of leukemia hey you're an empty nester
129
I miss it.
130
I miss having little kids.
131
I think about it all the time.
132
I think about it maybe adopting, you know.
133
I could adopt a baby from a third world country.
134
That's a good thing to do because you can just leave them outside.
135
You don't have to.
136
You know, it's interesting.
137
We've been adopting babies from other countries in America for a long time.
138
You know, other countries do it too, but I live here, so I'll talk about that.
139
It's an interesting thing.
140
It's not a biological imperative to go get a baby from thousands of miles away,
141
but we've been doing that in large numbers here for a long time.
142
And not always for the same reasons.
143
There's been different reasons why we've done it.
144
In the early, like in the 70s,
145
when I grew up, sometimes you meet a couple who had an African baby that they brought because they're those kind of,
146
you know, these kinds of people, you know, the kind of couples that hold hands
147
when they announce things you know those kind of people they gather their friends and they're like We've decided.
148
You know those?
149
They have a farm table with a clay pot of honey on it.
150
And their apple juice is cloudy.
151
You know what I'm talking about?
152
Those are the kind of people that make a trip to Zimbabwe
153
and get a baby and name them Kevin and send them to Boston College or whatever.
154
That was like the 70s and 80s.
155
Then in the 90s, it became very popular with gay couples started to adopt babies from China
156
because they want to have a baby, but they both have dicks.
157
I don't know if you know that.
158
Did you know that?
159
Gay couples have two dicks.
160
So they can't make a baby.
161
You can try.
162
Just really fucking...
163
You can try to come into one dick with the other.
164
Like, if you line up the dick holes, and you can come, and the sperm goes up this dick and down that one.
165
and then the sperm gets to the balls and he's and they're like wait what the fuck
166
did we turn around because we're in the balls again
167
whose balls are these these aren't even his balls
168
oh he's gay fuck all right okay all right well let's just swim around till
169
we're dead it's the way
170
it is you're not gonna know a baby will never come out of a penis
171
it's good it's a good thing
172
because hard for women imagine pushing a whole baby out of
173
your penis dick hole even just a hand yeah anyway so that's why gay couples adopt.
174
That's why.
175
And often from China, because they make a lot of stuff there. So that was that.
176
The gay couples were adopting Chinese babies because they couldn't have babies.
177
And then a lot of other couples started doing it more around the turn of the century.
178
I used to live in Hollywood, which is a pretty awful place.
179
And everybody there gets Chinese babies.
180
It's very popular.
181
And it's not because they can't have babies, and it's not because they're trying to help somebody from far away.
182
It's because they're just busy.
183
They're busy.
184
They want to have a baby, but they don't want to have a baby.
185
You know what I mean?
186
That thing where you can't have your baby and eat it, too, or whatever.
187
I don't know how that works.
188
They don't want to get pregnant is the point, so they go to China.
189
They don't even go to China.
190
They go to the airport, and somebody from China meets them, gives them a baby.
191
It's true.
192
They just take it home, and then they get a Jamaican nanny to watch their Chinese baby.
193
And they go to cocktail parties.
194
We have a Chinese baby.
195
It's amazing.
196
And meanwhile, the Chinese baby and the Jamaican nanny are just alone looking at each other like, what are we doing?
197
What is this?
198
Why can't either of us see our families?
199
Why?
200
What the fuck is the point of this?

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.
