54
There we go.
55
I'll slide the box out.
56
There he's got to sit down at first and then we'll plug him in.
57
I don't even know how to sit down.
58
It's forcing itself down.
59
Yeah, we'll just lay him down.
60
It's like I don't want to sit down.
61
I think we got to plug him in.
62
They activate him.
63
Oh my goodness.
64
Can you believe that?
65
What do you say to mom?
66
Thank you.
67
Mom didn't get him.
68
Right?
69
Mm -hmm.
70
some man on the other side of the world.

Look at the size of him.
85
He's huge.
86
Okay?
87
Look at your little guy.
88
Look at that.
89
He's holding on like it's just a baby. And they're both blue.
90
Yeah, he's heavy.
91
Have you tried holding him yet?
92
Come from his belly.
93
Heavy, eh? So heavy.
94
All right, well, let's see what the first thing says to do.
95
We put this poster up on the wall.
96
It's a nice poster.
97
but we didn't know that the instructions were on the back.
98
I did because I watch videos of them all the time.
99
Yeah, you do.
100
You know everything about now.
101
You should be telling me what to do.
102
all right so what we got here step one what does it say here take him out of the box
103
hello and then looks like stand him up i think here you want to hold on to this ben
104
and i'll stand him up for you let's see how does the picture look over here he's kind of like crouching
105
his knees are down like this his body's up like that his head's like that it looks like his hands here.
106
It's hard to film. Is it?
107
We got it?
108
Alright.
109
Let's see here.
110
Step two.
111
Step two.
112
Plug in the outlet and plug it in his back.
113
Let's see what happens.
114
So we got the outlet plugged in here.
115
Let's see here.
116
Where does this go?
117
Somewhere in his back.
118
Oh, looks like it's right there.
119
Alright, let's plug her in.
120
Let's see, I gotta hold on to it.
121
Oh, here, can you hold this?
122
Again?
123
Yeah.
124
Whoa!
125
Here, you hold on.
126
I guess I'm gonna put it here until we can.
127
You record the whole thing while I get them all hooked up.
128
There we go.
129
It's hard doing this, like, because I have to lean back so we can see the whole entire thing.
130
Um, okay.
131
There you go.
132
So he's plugged in.
133
Hopefully he doesn't fall forward again hopefully not
134
because he might fall down he won't die okay step three is looks like we got a
135
in the back of his head he needs an internet connection
136
let's see what we got here oh looks like there's a flap right here
137
oh there it is yeah oh boy we need to go get an ethernet cord
138
It's a cord.
139
Yeah, hang on.
140
Okay, we got a cord.
141
Let's see.
142
Where is this?
143
I don't know if this is going to work or not.
144
Here, you want to hold this again, Ben?
145
Is it recording?
146
Yep.
147
I'll put this.
148
And I think this can just go right in here.
149
I'm not sure if this is going to work or not.
150
I dropped the phone and then I picked it up.
151
I plugged it into my laptop.
152
It doesn't seem to be doing anything.
153
Am I missing something?
154
Or am I supposed to plug it right into my router?
155
What?
156
Yeah, like a baby in a minute.
157
All right, let's go take them downstairs.
158
Okay, Ben, let's try this here.
159
Your finger's in the way, I think.
160
Yep.
161
Grab that?
162
Mm -hmm.
163
Okay, so we're going to plug that cord.
164
Careful, you don't shake them.
165
They might fall forward.
166
Okay, and we're going to plug it into the internet box right there.
167
So you take that yellow cord.
168
What here?
169
Pick any yellow spot and plug it in.
170
Any yellow spot.
171
Oh.
172
Oops, oops, oops, oops, oops, oops.
173
Bob, don't fall this time.
174
We're going to catch for dinner tomorrow, Austin.
175
We're going to catch for dinner.
176
Okay.
177
Is it in?
178
Yep.
179
Okay.
180
I think we're going to catch.
181
Okay.
182
All right.
183
So now it's plugged in.
184
Okay.
185
Can you go get the instructions, please?
186
Instructions coming right off.
187
He's just sitting there.
188
that most pieces off right?
189
Uh, well.
190
I think he does.
191
I think he wants to not be in front of him.
192
Yeah, this thing is off right now.
193
It's what, sorry?
194
This thing's off for plugging him in. Is it?
195
Yeah, that's what it is.
196
Oh, thank you.
197
That's the back of his head.
198
All right, so we plugged it in.
199
Let's turn this around.
200
So we did step two, three.
201
Now what's step four now?
202
Step four!
203
Step four is...
204
Plug him in!
205
Hold the middle button in for one second and then wait three to five minutes.
206
I don't know what one second is so...
207
Let's go one.
208
That's it.
209
Okay.
210
Alright.
211
One.
212
Oh yeah.
213
He's glowing.
214
It's like Sonic.
215
So I think we have to wait three to five minutes.
216
It's so long!
217
Yeah, I know, it seems like it.
218
It's not going to be long though.
219
And then it says, let's see, step five says, let's see if I can focus in on anything.
220
It says, hello, I'm now.
221
My internet address is.
222
And then I guess you got to plug it in here.
223
And then I think we're good to go after that, right?
224
And it says welcome.
225
Welcome.
226
Login and password is now.
227
All right.
228
Hey, Vector.
229
Look who you got beside you.
230
You got a now robot.
231
Are you happy?
232
Uh -oh.
233
He doesn't know what to do.
234
He's freaking out.
235
He's like, why is there a Wi -Fi sample in my face?
236
Oh, he's packing him out.
237
He doesn't know what to say either.
238
His eyes are glowing.
239
Even his ears are glowing.
240
I never saw that.
241
His ears are glowing?
242
Yeah.
243
Oh, they are too.
244
Look at that.
245
This thing's heavy.
246
I can't even pick him up in one second.
247
Yeah, it was...
248
When I held him up...
249
Oh, look at Cosmo.
250
Or it's right back there.
251
My dad holds him up in one hand.
252
Yeah.
253
Down the stairs.
254
And he's so heavy.
255
He was heavy, yeah.
256
Looks like he's flashing on his head now.
257
Was he always flashing?
258
It wasn't flashing.
259
No?
260
Maybe he was doing something.
261
Hello.
262
Tink!
263
So, Ben, tell me about now.
264
This is the thing you've always wanted, right?
265
Mm -hmm.
266
Yeah?
267
Since you were three years old, you watched a video.
268
Do you remember who it was that you watched for the very first time?
269
The very first time?
270
That made you like Now Robot?
271
I think it's that...
272
Oh, it's doing something.
273
Oh, my goodness.
274
Oh, my gosh.
275
I don't know what to say.
276
Hello.
277
Oh.
278
What is he doing to my face?
279
He's looking at you.
280
What?
281
So while he's booting up, Ben, the first video that you watched, it was some guy from, I think his name was Unbox Therapy.
282
Remember him?
283
And he opened it up for the first, remember he had that video?
284
His first time.
285
And he slipped and fell on like a banana or something?
286
No, no. It was a dog treat and he was like this.
287
Oh, yeah, that's right.
288
Yeah, yeah.
289
He fell down.
290
And then he came back up.
291
That's right.
292
Yeah.
293
And he did that too.
294
Yeah.
295
And he looked right at him.
296
Yeah.
297
And then what other videos were there?
298
You saw them playing, they were soccer game.
299
Yeah, but they were like having horns on top.
300
I don't know what they're called.
301
Horns?
302
You know, like gray things?
303
Oh, really?
304
Yeah, on their head.
305
There was a whole bunch of videos.
306
I think we've seen every now video out there.
307
Yeah, because there's a lot out there.
308
And I think we watched like all of them.
309
Mm -hmm i don't know what if we did or not
310
but i think we did yeah i don't know ben i think you deserve to say more than anybody
311
because you've been watching this thing for four years there's no lights here
312
and it's glowing up on his feet yeah yeah he's got lights on his feet that's so cool hi now
313
Oh, maybe he's still booting up.
314
I'm going to poke him in the eye.
315
Aw.
316
He's cool.
317
Yeah, he is cool.
318
We saw him at a store, and he was like this.
319
Yeah, remember we went to that one convention?
320
Yeah.
321
And we saw there was a lady, and I can't remember what her name was.
322
But she was super nice.
323
She was so nice.
324
Yeah, and that's where you met now for the first time.
325
Yep.
326
And then I was like, can we please have one?
327
And then you guys, we will see if we have enough money.
328
Yeah.
329
And then now we have it.
330
Yeah, it was expensive. So expensive.
331
Well, we got it.
332
What was it?
333
I can't remember what her name was now.
334
Well, if I find it, I'll put it in the description so she can get some.
335
Oh, what is he looking at?
336
I don't know.
337
He's looking around.
338
Why don't you stand beside him
339
Ben so you can see how tall he is compared to you.
340
He's like so... So...
341
He's like right here.
342
Yeah, so right where your pants are at the top.
343
So like almost like he's right here.
344
It's almost like when you stand beside me.
345
It's like he's your kid.
346
I'm going to say like he's three.
347
Three?
348
Or I don't know, I'm going to say four or that.
349
I don't know.
350
It's younger than four.
351
Younger than four?
352
I think it's like three and a half.
353
Holy moly.
354
He's looking right at you.
355
Look.
356
Look, he's following you.
357
Oh, now he's staring at the camera.
358
You know he's looking at me?
359
He's staring at me still.
360
It's cool because he has eyes in the middle so it's like he's actually moving his eyes to see you.
361
Yeah, he's got a camera, right?
362
He can sense where you're going.
363
Right here.
364
Yeah.
365
Right on top of his head.
366
So like right here.
367
So without doing anything with the now, do you remember what he can do with all the videos?
368
He could walk up and down the stairs that's what i know
369
and then he could kick balls he could grab them
370
and then throw them that's right yeah he can see he could walk with you yeah
371
but you would have to do this
372
because you would have to push his hand like forward oh to get him going yeah
373
that's what i learned from a video and he can dance too yeah
374
and we can program him i'm not sure what we can program
375
but we're going to we have a karaoke so we can make him sing.
376
That's right yeah he did sing in one of the videos.
377
Yeah it was funny.
378
We'll have to get a little microphone for him.
379
Yeah yeah he is.
380
He's following you.
381
Yeah he knows.
382
He knows what to do.
383
He doesn't see him though because he's too small.
384
Oh Vector?
385
Yeah He would be like this.
386
Yeah, he's following you.
387
Go back to the stairs again.
388
Now he's staring at it.
389
He probably wants to know where you went.
390
He probably has no idea.
391
Oh, now he's got you.
392
So this is how far I think he could see.
393
Yep.
394
Hello.
395
Do you want to come back?
396
We'll come back when he's done charging and then we'll see what he can do, okay?

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.
