Yeah, I was 10 years in before I discovered the Whisper.
2
And he goes down here.
3
He gotta go down here.
4
Until one day...
5
Yes.
6
He's up here.
7
I, you know, when I was a kid.
8
Lion gets up and tans the shit out of everybody.
9
Kevin Pollack was doing...
10
He had a whole podcast talking, walking.
11
He did the whole thing, walking.
12
But there was one where he had technical difficulties, and he had to record just an apology, like an 11-minute.
13
And he was, the whole thing was done down here.
14
I was like, holy shit.
15
Wow.
16
I didn't even know you could do that, like you said just like in the crawl space of Walken's voice.
17
In the crawl space with John Wayne Gacy.
18
Yeah, they put all the boys in there.
19
How about the surprise when you get in the crawl space and meet all your friends?
20
There's the guy from the Dairy Queen.
21
That's Walken trying not to crack up.
22
I was looking for the guy, I know.
23
I didn't know you were a prostitute as well.
24
We're doing Walken's.
25
Yeah, I guess.
26
It's a good time.
27
Why not?
28
There's a little Heath Ledger joker there.
29
This is interesting.
30
Who do people say Heath Ledger's doing in The Dark Knight?
31
Do you know?
32
The general consensus seems to be that he's doing like Tom Waits from like his country jazz period.
33
Oh, I've seen that.
34
There's a lot of like old letterman and stuff of Tom Waits just being like, I don't know.
35
And then pulling confetti out of his pocket and throwing it.
36
So he had kind of, Tom Waits had a little bit of a clown persona, a little bit of a dangerous LA drunk guy persona.
37
So I think that's the first thing people think when they're looking at Heath Ledger's Dark Knight.
38
But someone brought up to me that it sounds a lot like Al Franken.
39
And that there was a point where he identified Al Franken as having the perfect Midwest accent.
40
He was trying to do like a Midwest Joker.
41
Al Franken's way up here and complaining.
42
Yeah, but sell us that.
43
Sell us the Dark Knight Joker.
44
Do I look like a guy with a plan?
45
Yeah, exactly.
46
Al Franken, you'll start hearing it now that I've said it.
47
Oh, then I gotta listen to Al Franken.
48
Once we're in the writer's room and you know, they put the upcoming guest and musical acts on the board.
49
He's sitting at the table.
50
He always has a pencil in his mouth.
51
Yeah.
52
I go, who's Emma Thompson?
53
And he goes, takes the pencil and goes, Are you fucking kidding me?
54
How do you not know she won an Academy Award?
55
And I look right under her name is Smashing Pumpkins.
56
I go, hey Al, who are the Smashing Pumpkins?
57
He goes, I don't know, but they didn't win a fucking Academy Award!
58
And he stormed out. So I got him.
59
Oh my god.
60
And that's where the Joker got the disappearing pencil trick.
61
Oh my god, Joe.
62
Exactly, all the way back.
63
Joe's warming up.
64
Don't let Joe get hot from 3.
65
He'll fucking bury it.
66
Don't let Joe get on.
67
Al Franken did that to A.
68
Whitney Brown.
69
Oh, my God.
70
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.
