1
It just tastes like autumn, doesn't it?
2
My favourite dessert in the world with my favourite beverage in the world.
3
What do you got?
4
This is going to cause an episode in my life that I will certainly remember you.
5
What?
6
No!
7
Last time John Cena was in town, we put American and British breakfasts head to head.
8
God damn it, that's good.
9
Now he's back to promote his new movie, Matchbox.
10
And with Thanksgiving just round the corner, we thought we'd settle another great transatlantic debate.
11
American Thanksgiving versus the classic English roast.
12
Thanksgiving, you're in trouble.
13
Yeah.
14
All right.
15
What do we got?
16
I mean, you tell us.
17
This is what we've been told is a pretty classic Thanksgiving spread.
18
It looks like I got turkey stuffing, some sort of bean casserole with crispy bits on the top, buttery mash, rolls, cranberry juice up front,
19
sweet potato casseroles, pumpkin pie to finish off the flight of taste.
20
All right.
21
Giant turkey. Of course.
22
I've totally forgot the main event.
23
Yes.
24
Yes.
25
Shall I get carving?
26
Oh, yeah, please.
27
I don't know, sitting next to such an alpha male, it feels bold to assume the carving knife.
28
I concede.
29
I better not screw it up.
30
Yeah, whatever you plan, you want to stop going in.
31
Yeah, okay, I'm going to hold this for you.
32
Just don't cut my hands off.
33
Don't cut my hands off.
34
Lots of skin.
35
What?
36
Yeah, I'll do it.
37
Yeah, that's all right, serve it up.
38
There we go.
39
Like an American Thanksgiving in my house.
40
Yeah, just take it.
41
Now, you're one of five brothers, right?
42
So Thanksgiving must have been insane.
43
When the food drops, it is gone.
44
Wow.
45
Really?
46
Things disappear real quick.
47
It's like a tank of piranhas.
48
Yes.
49
Okay.
50
Okay. Am I doing okay?
51
Done well.
52
So a thing that a lot of folks do is as they pass the food, we say things we're grateful for.
53
So as we try this food, whether it wins the battle or not, we've got to lean into the Thanksgiving tradition.
54
I love it.
55
Okay.
56
You're the carver, which means it's your house.
57
Uh, I'm grateful that we're back here with you, John.
58
I like that.
59
Talk more about that.
60
Well, I'm being completely sincere, which is hard for me.
61
It is.
62
The last video that we did with you was one of my favorites that we've ever shot.
63
Oh, man, thanks for saying that.
64
We've also filmed, I think, upwards of probably 3 ,000, 2 ,000, 3 ,000 videos in over 14 years.
65
Wow, thank you.
66
This is my job, you know?
67
It's kind of a pinch -me moment.
68
Every now and again, we have to just remind each other, we get to do this, you know?
69
It's a privilege.
70
What a great take.
71
I'm really, really grateful for the connections I've made in this crazy journey because I agree with you doing this for work, but come on.
72
And when you can take away the experience and make some good friends along the way, if you did it without any sort of connection, it would be a really lonely road.
73
So I'm grateful for the connection and love I got in my life.
74
100%, wow.
75
Now, 3 ,000 videos.
76
What was your biggest disaster?
77
Oh, the biggest disaster.
78
Wow.
79
I like that because there's so many ideas running through your head.
80
We had some big ones.
81
Today was nearly a disaster.
82
No. Well, because the traffic in London is crazy.
83
You might notice I'm sweating a little bit.
84
I generally don't sweat.
85
Yeah.
86
That's because I had to get out of the cab a marble arch and run.
87
Oh, okay which is three kilometers away.
88
That's good.
89
You can feed you, though.
90
Yeah, exactly.
91
As much as I like to avoid the cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving, we have to go, because it's a chance for me to just ask the question, why do we still do this?
92
Do I just slice it off?
93
You do.
94
Oh, wow.
95
That's kind of satisfying.
96
That is wild.
97
Oh, wow.
98
This feels a little bit like a recipe from, like, the 1950s that didn't change.
99
Yes, like, dessert of the future, cranberry sauce.
100
I have overstepped my boundary on the cut there as well.
101
And then these buns.
102
Is this like a Hawaiian roll kind of vibe?
103
As a breaducator by trade, those who don't know, the dinner roll scenario with a Hawaiian roll is a great way to describe it.
104
OK.
105
The reason you get the accoutrement is because of all the sauces and whatnot.
106
Ah.
107
It's a mop.
108
It's a mop.
109
It is.
110
Is that a jar of gravy?
111
Oh, OK.
112
That looked a lot like gravy with drinking glasses.
113
Americans, we go at it.
114
We do.
115
We're a calorie flow, but I mean, there's got to be some law.
116
There's got to be some law.
117
You've got to draw a line somewhere.
118
Now, I want to lead into honesty with you guys.
119
I'm going to pass on that for all my reasons.
120
It's like day five of salmonella for me.
121
And this is going to cause an episode in my life that I will certainly remember you for.
122
Oh, no. So, uh...
123
That was the time I had a jolly bad time.
124
Eat up, and it's great.
125
Mmm.
126
Turkey.
127
And cranberry and gravy, though.
128
I absolutely love it.
129
And maybe it's because I so rarely have it.
130
Turkey's such a tough course to navigate, but if you undercook it, it's raw, and you get what I have, and you don't want that.
131
It's 14 days of kipo and givin'.
132
I believe this is why all of the accoutrement, the creme sauce, the gravy potatoes has matriculated to the Thanksgiving staples, because as long as you have that, yeah.
133
We don't have Thanksgiving, right?
134
I can tell by how weird you got with expressing your gratitude.
135
It's very, very difficult for us to be sincere, to share our feelings.
136
But then whenever we've had it, you're like, oh my gosh, we should have this.
137
It's good to stop and be thankful.
138
We always say that and never actually do.
139
I actually read that Roosevelt changed the date of Thanksgiving.
140
He moved it a week earlier so that there could be more time for Christmas shopping to help the economy.
141
Nice.
142
Solid move, Femi.
143
Solid move.
144
Now the marshmallows with sweet potato combination, this is a thing to be studied.
145
It is interesting, and many times it tastes like it's dessert.
146
A little bit sweet, but it's still got the saltiness.
147
Man, kids love the burnt marshmallows.
148
Yeah, I mean, I love the burnt marshmallows.
149
My gosh.
150
Can we move on to the pie?
151
Bro, how the f* am I not going to address the gelatinous elephant?
152
Yeah.
153
I want to try it by itself.
154
It's very strange by itself.
155
Mmm.
156
It's gross.
157
Texturally, it is alien.
158
It sure is.
159
I think this might be why I avoid it.
160
I'm like traumatized.
161
It's hitting my head for everything.
162
Very sad.
163
I don't know how you're having that post -salmonella.
164
The texture is making me want to lean into what my body wants to do.
165
I'm going to leave that right there.
166
I got to give the potatoes a fork.
167
Potatoes are good.
168
Potatoes are good.
169
These are great.
170
Potatoes are going to be your all -purpose winner.
171
Like the gravy.
172
Put it on anything.
173
You can mix the potatoes up, and it's almost like a sauce.
174
It kind of all mixes together.
175
And there's different kind of lubes, aren't there?
176
There's the gravy.
177
Oh, I was going to say, I want to hear about it.
178
Yeah.
179
Yeah, well, I mean, there's many available.
180
I'm curious.
181
It's okay.
182
I'll try anything through this four times, yeah.
183
But there are many lubes in the next kit.
184
Yeah.
185
Yeah.
186
Um, no. Well, yeah.
187
Okay, let's move on to the pumpkin pies.
188
Oh, we got cornbread as well.
189
My gosh, this is a feast.
190
You may have overordered.
191
You guys hear what I said?
192
You're like, oh, we're gonna fk him.
193
Bring out more food.
194
Do some of the roast food.
195
Put that down.
196
Just embrace the first slice not pretty.
197
You can serve that to me, because I'll eat enemy.
198
And then, I'd say the first three slices are probably pretty now.
199
No, it's great.
200
But that's okay.
201
There's also these epic moments that happen at Thanksgiving that are just unforgettable family memories.
202
And what I remember from our first Thanksgiving is, just because you wear a suit doesn't mean you should carve and serve the food.
203
Okay. That is the takeaway.
204
That's not bad.
205
From this family's first episode.
206
Here we go.
207
You dressed great, but maybe it was the 3KM run you did.
208
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
209
Next takeaway, don't exercise.
210
Yeah, yeah.
211
Okay, pumpkin pie is a favorite of mine.
212
All right, let's do this.
213
Oh, oh my gosh.
214
Oh, this one is, oh, it's not overly sweet.
215
This is all day long.
216
Holy moly.
217
It just tastes like autumn, doesn't it?
218
It does.
219
The two things I will indulge on on holidays.
220
One, Thanksgiving pumpkin pie.
221
Two, Christmas eggnog.
222
Eggnog.
223
Yes, and a cup this big has as much calories as that f*ing turkey.
224
OK is an international man of mystery.
225
The name's Kendall.
226
Oliver John Kendall.
227
OK for short.
228
We are sending you on an important mission to spy on our favorite notorious thief, but he's in a local pub.
229
Ah, OK.
230
I'll get on it right away.
231
Ah, damn it!
232
My phone is out of battery again.
233
This is not OK.
234
Fear not.
235
I prepared for you a ridge power bank.
236
Super fast charging.
237
Five different charging methods.
238
That is a steal in a legal way.
239
I'll have a tap water.
240
Shaken, not stirred.
241
Thank you.
242
Oh, that is a nice wallet.
243
Yes, it's a ridge wallet.
244
Sleek, compact, and made of aluminium.
245
Very nice.
246
It even has radio frequency identification blocking.
247
That's why the radio wave you just sent to my card information was intercepted.
248
Ridge was started by friends and family and now they're giving you friend prices on wallets, key cases, luggage and more.
249

I made this, try my best to copy my mom's recipe that she made for us as kids growing up.
270
I don't know if it's going to be as good as the ones you've had before, but for me, this is the taste of my childhood.
271
It's going to be a very tough act to follow.
272
Bloody hell.
273
My favorite dessert in the world is my favorite beverage in the world.
274
What do you got?
275
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
276
Josh's love language is heartwarming.
277
It tastes delicious.
278
My love language is a product of massive overthinking.
279
Love it.
280
It will maybe make you feel a little uncomfortable.
281
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
282
I thought I could get you, like, a really rare piece of merch that featured you.
283
But then I thought I could make you the best piece of merch ever.
284
Okay.
285
One of one.
286
You're John Cena.
287
This is very Ollie.
288
We can't see you, right?
289
Right.
290
What if I made a bust of your head that you couldn't see?
291
and it's a piggy bank so that you can't see john cena
292
but you can see money in his piggy bank oh man
293
and you made this it took 120 hours on the 3d printer i 3d modeled it it's uh what do you think
294
so i love it and here's why i don't need to see any more of my own face
295
I'm an advocate for responsible spending.
296
This is your next line of merch.
297
You teach people how to save money, and this is a fantastic way to do that.
298
Yeah.
299
Use your John Cena piggy bank, like John Cena would do.
300
Exactly.
301
This is great, man.
302
Yeah, you go.
303
This is great.
304
You should be a salesman.
305
This is fantastic.
306
Again, I mean, I kind of nailed it.
307
Like, this is not, I look like , this looks great.
308
That's not true.
309
This is fantastic.
310
I'll tell you what, I know I shouldn't, but I can't resist.
311
Thank you guys for the gifts.
312
Very grateful for you to have me back, I appreciate that.
313
Oh, yeah.
314
Oh, my God.
315
Wow.
316
Oh, and he split the G as well.
317
Wow.
318
John Cena does not mess around.
319
He is a professional.
320
This is my first one.
321
First one I've ever had.
322
Clearly.
323
So to finish us off, bit of British roast beef.
324
We have some stuffing, roast potatoes, some cauliflower cheese.
325
Love that.
326
And a Yorkshire pudding.
327
My mom used to make Yorkshire pudding.
328
So like, if this is nailed proper, it's Thanksgiving.
329
It's still a chance.
330
Tell me the tradition behind the Sunday roast.
331
I grew up every single Sunday going to my grandparents' house.
332
My late grandfather would cook an amazing roast.
333
He liked to say grace and then do Cook's health, even though he had done it.
334
Classic.
335
He had done it.
336
He then tucked a napkin into his three -piece soup.
337
You would have loved him, John.
338
Smart.
339
And so this, for me, represents family.
340
It represents happy memories.
341
It represents my grandfather.
342
My mum, growing up, would put the chicken in in the morning.
343
We'd go to church, just leave the oven on with the chicken in, roasting away.
344
Come back.
345
Come back.
346
And it's roast time.
347
I love it.
348
This, to me, is, like, way less heavy than Thanksgiving.
349
Ah, interesting.
350
Every than Thanksgiving needs to be a hodgepodge.
351
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
352
Well, I mean, this cauliflower cheese, it's kind of like mac and cheese.
353
It is.
354
With a vegetable instead of a vegetable.
355
What a great con to get kids to eat their vegetables.
356
Now, John, you're over here promoting Matchbox the movie, which is out now on Apple TV.
357
So appreciate you talking about it.
358
Yeah, people are literally ready to form that movie right now.
359
Would you please mention this movie, mention Matchbox, please?
360
Me and my brothers were like the Matchbox gang.
361
We used to play with Matchbox cars in the corner of my dad's garage.
362
This movie really leans heavily on friendship, nostalgia.
363
That's what I was going to say.
364
All the things are kind of leaning in.
365
It's about reconnecting.
366
This segment sells itself.
367
You don't have to tell us.
368
This is what we're talking about.
369
This is what we're doing.
370
This knocks it out of the park.
371
This reminds me of my mom's rooster party.
372
This is fantastic.
373
We are all good.
374
We're in a way of giving you credit.
375
You don't stand a chance.
376
Yes, I mean, we should really give credit.
377
You don't.
378
We just high -fived, but it was great.
379
Yeah, yeah.
380
We just took all the credit.
381
Now, got to get a bite of this before we go.
382
This looks great.
383
Here's you have it.
384
This is exactly how it was.
385
The cream on top of the chocolate flakes, layer of banana, layer of toffee.
386
Oh, my God.
387
The biscuit base.
388
Oh, yes.
389
It's just flaky enough.
390
Well, let's dive in.
391
I knew we had to give it a try.
392
Yeah.
393
I, this is, well done, oh my god.
394
It's good, huh?
395
Thanksgiving, you're in trouble.
396
So, let's get down to business.
397
We gotta say who what?
398
Yes.
399
Don't fucking do it.
400
Thank you so much.
401
That really means a lot, thank you.
402
I wish we had Thanksgiving in this country.
403
Because I think we could do with more thankfulness.
404
I think sweet potato casserole is amazing.
405
Pumpkin pie is amazing.
406
How do we not have that?
407
Cranberry jelly out of a can is disgusting.
408
Should step in the can.
409
I do think mashed potatoes should have more butter in it.
410
And you guys have got that right.
411
I'm not going to sit here as a Brit and say our roasts are better.
412
But to me, it's more special.
413
I want to just take bits of both.
414
I can't live without Yorkshire pudding in my life.
415
But I also don't really want to live without a pumpkin pie.
416
So what are you going to do?
417
I'm never a sucker for a draw.
418
I always want to get a clean winter.
419
Please, go for it.
420
The American.
421
Go for it, we'll leave you.
422
Yeah, I got to raise my pint to the pub that poured it.
423
I'm saying Sunday roast.
424
Okay.
425
And here's what I like about it.
426
It's every week.
427
Although you may not sit around the table and say what you're thankful for, you being together is thanks enough.
428
So thank you guys for having me.
429
Oh, I like that.
430
Goodness, the gifts, man.
431
I hope that was nice.
432
Thank you, guys.
433
Cheers to you, Jon.
434
I say roast wins.
435
My voice is the only one that can.
436
OK.
437
All right, we'll see you jolly soon, guys.
438
See you later.
439
Cheers.
440
Man, that was aces.
441
He's never made this for me, by the way.
442
I know.
443
It was a pleasure to be able to bring that to the table.
444
Thank you so much, man.
445
I appreciate it.
446
Come on, Keith.
447
Let's hug it out.
448
I was like, it has to be done.
449
And dude, the piggy bank has got potential.
450
Always amazing.
451
Fantastic.
452
Likewise. So great.

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.
