I always wanted to try breast milk.
2
Look at his face, look at his face, look at his face.
3
But the fear of being like, what if I didn't like it?
4
What if I liked it too much?
5
Whoa!
6
Today, we're getting interviewed alongside strangers for a fake documentary.
7
The goal is to make it through the interview without laughing, which won't be easy, because we'll be forcing each other to give ridiculous answers to every question.
8
Whoever laughs the most loses.
9
This interview is over.
10
It's over.
11
Get this off me.
12
So, Jenna, we went off to this game.
13
Last time, the moderator was John Zlugu, who showed up with a mustache, unknown to us.
14
But today, now we have an actual professional, Jenna Wolfie.
15
I don't like when you keep saying that.
16
Yeah, the credibility has jumped up like 10 levels for us.
17
The people joining us today are just being handpicked as they walk down the streets.
18
Thank you for joining us.
19
I have a number of questions.
20
We'll go back and forth.
21
All right, buddy, you ready?
22
Zahada, how do you deal with stress?
23
Being able to, you know, read or, you know, write is kind of what helps me navigate through it.
24
Mm.
25
Nice. And James?
26
Jeez, I commune with a lady doctor while I lay on her chaise lounge.
27
Gotcha!
28
How do I deal with stress?
29
How do you deal with stress?
30
I commune with a lady doctor while I lay on her chaise lounge. So therapy is your...
31
Therapy.
32
Have you tried any experimental therapy?
33
My friend, she kind of has like her own business where she uses singing bowls and things like that.
34
It's kind of like.
35
You're not going to survive this next one.
36
So that was kind of like a new experience for me.
37
What about you, James?
38
Have you ever tried any experimental therapy?
39
I gave hot dong a shot.
40
I gave hot dong a shot.
41
How did you not laugh?
42
Hot, is it hot dong?
43
Hot dong?
44
Have you tried it?
45
Could you give me an idea of what that is and you tried that?
46
Yeah, I don't want to get into it right now.
47
Is it a type of therapy?
48
Yeah.
49
I guess, sure.
50
I guess, sure.
51
Let's say that.
52
Probably not.
53
Probably not though.
54
I don't think so.
55
It's not.
56
How did you not laugh?
57
Let's move on.
58
James, can you describe a time that you faced a fear head on?
59
Uh, yeah.
60
Yeah.
61
I was afraid you'd be stinky, but I did this anyway.
62
I was...
63
I was...
64
I was afraid that you'd be stinky, but I went ahead and did it anyway.
65
Why would that be the first thing that came in your head?
66
The fear's unrealized because you stink good.
67
Okay, that's not...
68
You did that one to yourself.
69
He broke himself.
70
Let me ask you this.
71
How do you like to unwind after a hard day, James?
72
I gave hot dong a shot.
73
Here we go.
74
Kari, do you think there is a fear other people have that you would say is irrational?
75
I can't think of anything specifically.
76
Brian, let me ask you.
77
I'd say death.
78
I'd say death.
79
An irrational fear?
80
I'm actually more afraid of being born.
81
Yeah, I was actually more afraid of, like, being born.
82
Oh, thinking about my mommy like that is so narsty.
83
Thinking about my mommy like that is so narsty.
84
You said narsty? Did I?
85
Yeah.
86
Narsty.
87
Brian, can I ask you how you like to unwind after a long, stressful day?
88
I'm probably dating myself here, but I still love watching bum fights.
89
I'm probably dating myself here a little bit.
90
He's laughing already.
91
But I still like to unwind, like watching bum fights.
92
Look at this guy's face.
93
That was your way of unwinding?
94
You watch the Avengers?
95
That was your version of watching the Avengers.
96
Well, they fight.
97
Has fear ever prevented you from doing something that you really wanted to do?
98
Did it ever get in the way?
99
Yes, I've applied to a few jobs, only overcoming those fears.
100
What a lovely answer.
101
Wait, did you hear this one?
102
Brian?
103
Well, I've always wanted to try breast milk.
104
But what if I don't like it?
105
Well, what if I like it too much?
106
I always wanted to try breast milk.
107
Look at his face, look at his face, look at his face.
108
But the fear of being like, what if I didn't like it?
109
What if I liked it too much?
110
Whoa!
111
Look at his poker face.
112
OK.
113
Kari, how do you like to unwind after a hard day?
114
You can't whisper, what if I like it too much?
115
I'm an avid rope skipper.
116
What if I like it too much?
117
Skipping rope or...
118
Oh, sorry, the breast milk.
119
I'm sorry.
120
I'm so sorry.
121
You weirdo.
122
I don't like it too much.
123
Good job, buddy.
124
I got a surprise for Sal's turn. Is there something leaking?
125
I just saw water on my neck.
126
I brought a certain button with me.
127
Whenever I hit the button, a one drop falls from the ceiling right into his head.
128
Get out of here.
129
Are you kidding me?
130
Whatever we want, we can drip onto Sal.
131
Thank you so much for joining us.
132
Maria, what is the most stressful job you've ever had?
133
Working as a model?
134
She said she was a model?
135
Yeah.
136
Ooh.
137
Same question to you, Sal.
138
What is the most stressful job that you've ever had?
139
What that?
140
Oh, model.
141
Oh, what that?
142
Uh, model.
143
No. Seriously?
144
Have your fears ever made you superstitious in any way?
145
Kind of following the horoscope, you became a little bit superstitious.
146
Like you really, oh, it looks like it's happening for real, you know?
147
Right, right, right.
148
No, I get it and I'm the same way.
149
Don't talk about it so it doesn't make it superstitious.
150
Are you okay?
151
Yeah, the pipes are leaking on me.
152
It's okay, it's fine.
153
It's just, yeah. Is it?
154
It's okay.
155
It's just hitting me in the back.
156
It doesn't seem like it's fine, just from our angle?
157
I think it should be fine.
158
Sal, how do you deal with stress?
159
If I can not, it usually gets me back to one.
160
This thing just keeps hitting me in the goddamn head.
161
All right, I'm soaked.
162
OK.
163
Sal is in hell right now.
164
Can you repeat it?
165
Because I just get to stress.
166
Yes.
167
No, no, I get it.
168
And just be with me.
169
I'll look you right in the face.
170
OK.
171
Sal, how do you deal with stress?
172
If I could nut, it usually gets me back to one.
173
That's your way.
174
Yeah.
175
Like a release, you know?
176
Like a...
177
Como se dice nut?
178
Um, nut, like, you know?
179
Hey, we got it!
180
Como se dice ejaculate?
181
Uh-huh.
182
Like a, uh...
183
Yes, we got, yes, we know.
184
She's blushing.
185
She's blushing, dude.
186
So, we're almost done.
187
Um, Maria, can you look at Sal and say something encouraging him to help him get over his fears?
188
What advice would you have for him?
189
So far for what I see, relax.
190
Relax.
191
Keep focusing on what you have in front of you, I think.
192
This could be the first part.
193
I think that's great advice.
194
I'd probably be from the same advice.
195
Right?
196
Yeah.
197
Because he's getting bothered so very often.
198
That's another laugh. That counts.
199
It just catches me off guard every single time.
200
Don't let it.
201
Okay, this is happening.
202
But you are in your favor.
203
It's moving over.
204
That's a laugh.
205
That is a laugh, bud.
206
I'm sorry.
207
Yeah, buddy, we're the one that put the pipe up there.
208
You got decimated at the end there, buddy.

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.
