In this video, I don't give a puck.

It's like a hockey pun.

Please throw that in at some point in the video.

In this video, I'm joined by my least favorite athlete, infamous Swoosh.

And we're going to talk about being terrible at sports.

This guy sucks.

Terrible.

Look at that.

Surprisingly, the animators are not the best athletes.

Dude, I don't know if this was the same for you with your hockey coaches, but our volleyball coach, everyone in the auditorium,

like knew that he was mad like it would echo the halls of the high school

that we were i am with you there oh my my

coaches in competitive hockey were insane oh my god okay i'm sorry i'm sorry please take

that out of the video drinking a diet pet me

i'm sorry did you drink it in one gold my lord buddy the elf over here

when i was like 14 or 15 the parents

and coaches acted like we were about to go to the nhl i had one coach

that was generally pretty good but he would lose his mind

when we had a bad game

and one day we had probably the worst game of our lives

i'm talking like six to nothing

we go to the locker room after the whooping of our lives

i'm sure you know just the dead silence after a terrible game

when everyone's just sitting there thinking about which sport we should probably switch to

and then coach walks in stands at the middle of the room

and he jump kicks an industrial trash can across the room and all everything exploded out of it

like clambered around it was insane nimble

and we were all like yeah actually we probably deserve

that yeah i can't even argue yeah the punishments were brutal

so they were called bag skates my coach would drag the

same industrial trash can into the middle of the ice

and he would tell us we're not leaving until someone throws up in here oh no way

that dude you're kidding

that's a joke yeah kids did man are you serious yeah yeah holy cow yeah including me including me people

i guess

so you guys aren't training for the freaking olympics

it's like middle school as far as he was concerned we were all right

if we lost two games in a row he'd start cutting off fingers

all right uh timmy come here with your skate

and uh ronald you just stand right there

and this isn't exactly a mainstream sport uh you ever heard of taser knife fighting

please tell me this is a bit this is not a bit bryson

and i just got back from open sauce

and somebody had a call for taser knife fighting where it's

literally like a dull knife with a 20 ,000 volt taser on the end

and you fight and you fought bryson i fought bryson dude by the way it hurts

if that's what you're wondering

i missed out dude bryson ended up winning he's more nimble

than i thought he'd be man freaking twinkle toes well dude next time

i see you uh definitely gotta do some like taser knife fighting

i'll bring the tasers you bring the knife no god dude i'll bring from sixth grade

and i went over to my buddy james's house we went in like his garage

and found golf clubs and a golf ball he had like a hill in his backyard

so we like set up the tee at the top of the hill on my first attempt

i freaking tiger woods this thing

it went flying across like oh happy gilmore style yes

i'm not kidding literally i could not believe

it it was my first time ever hitting a golf ball

we were in like a neighbor's backyard like we could not find it

and it's ironic because i am

so bad at golf that's like the one hit of a lifetime

you're gonna be driving by now like 10 years later

and you're gonna find a golf ball in the ditch my golf story

and i do i actually still brag about this to this day i'm terrible at golf

but mini golf dude that's my game that's my game right

there i'm bringing it up i'm bringing

it up again man our buddy mitch pulse fire

he plays college golf he competes in tournaments he's really good yeah

and then we were all visiting each other in texas we all decided to go mini golf

and we're like well you know obviously mitch is gonna be pretty good

but it'll be fun for the rest of us

and by a miracle i end up beating mitch by one stroke i was

so over the i turned up

i'm like work on your short game buddy are you kidding

me dude what are we doing here literally to this day never seen brody happier than

that day i have the scorecard

and he wrote on the back of it he was a little pissed

and he just wrote so happy smiley face

and i framed it i have it framed in my office right

now we have actually something in common we both did do something

that we've briefly mentioned in videos before oh my god oh yes yes i totally forgot about

that that is

so funny it's 2017 the dab is a hot commodity we lost shockingly not really me

and like my teammate were like dude

when we're like doing the handshakes at the end let's dab on the coach

i don't know i was an idiot and i did exactly

that i just decided

i'm gonna dab on this coach my coach acted like we

blew up the coach's car out in the parking lot

because he was like how could you guys have done

that just have the most vivid memory of like looking out the window

and seeing the coaches talk to each other and i'm like dude i am so

Oh, it's screwed, bro. So bad.

Alan, we are so bad.

Yeah, literally.

That's what it felt like, dude.

Mine was an act of rebellion because these referees were dog shit, dude.

Just terrible.

Like, the other team kept tripping and pushing and high -sticking our guys.

100

Oh, my gosh.

101

And the refs just didn't care.

102

I made the executive decision.

103

I'm not shaking this guy's hand.

104

I'm going to dab on him as, like, a little prank, right?

105

And I'm a bad person.

106

And so are you.

107

Well, you are.

108

I don't know about me.

109

He's at the very end of the line

110

so he's the last person i go for the dab he blows his whistle

111

and he's like number eight come back here now

112

and i'm like oh this is gonna be a big thing

113

i got suspended i was not allowed to play in the next two games

114

it was gonna be more than two games my coach had to talk the referee down

115

he wanted me like off the team bro you commented on

116

that video when i released it and we weren't like really tight back then

117

and you commented like familiar story or something like that and i was Like oh my god,

118

he's gonna think I copied a story dude cuz like how could this possibly it happened to both of us

119

You're not allowed to talk about anything that I've experienced on YouTube by your the amount of people

120

You know when you post like a video about like our dogs and they're like

121

Oh my god, you're copying Bryson cuz he also has a dog and tell stories about it.

122

It's like We adopted a dog because Bryson did that's what we do.

123

That's what we do around here I might have told you this one before

124

but I have to I can't believe

125

I've never told this story in a video generally in hockey you don't start body checking up until you're 13 or 14

126

and on probably the first day

127

we were allowed to hit rock was like foaming at the mouth for some violence dude

128

he was craving it he catches one of our friends with his head down like in our zone

129

and he was like now's the chance

130

he absolutely crushes him against the boards like steamroll dude like a fly swatter to a nap

131

he took the hit and they shrugged it off

132

and he kept playing then later on back at school he's in class with brock

133

and he gets asked to write an answer on the board

134

so he walks up grabs a marker

135

and he cannot lift the marker up high enough to write on the board

136

and the teacher's like what's going on are you okay

137

and she makes him roll up his sleeve his shoulder is purple this dude had broken his collarbone

138

and he was too embarrassed to tell anyone

139

because he thought he looked like a wimp oh my god

140

he has to go to the hospital brock felt terrible dude brock was like oh my god i'm so sorry

141

and our friend he's just like just don't let him know just don't let him know

142

we're like dude you broke your collarbone man that's got you can't just play

143

that off that's crazy

144

now the whole world knows hey what was his name again just for the record uh

145

i deliberately did not say his name just to honor his legacy speaking of getting injured

146

when we would like do practices our coach would bring his

147

kids who were pretty young at the time like six

148

and like four we would like set up hitting routines like you're like you're tossing the ball

149

they set it to you you jump you hit it

150

and the coach was like all right kids like go on the stage

151

and then like one kid was like no i don't want it

152

and he was like okay but like you might get hit with a volleyball

153

and he was like and he was just playing

154

and now he's like all right

155

so we start doing dude my first hit i jump up just spike

156

it down it directly hit this like five -year -old in the face no no

157

he falls over like peter griffin falling down the stairs bro like the kid was crying

158

and the coach was like i literally told you like i just told you like we warned

159

you pal we warned you pal

160

and then he like throws another at him it was within 45 seconds of him telling him like

161

Hey, don't be over here.

162

Dude, I'm going to be so real.

163

Sometimes that's the only way people learn.

164

Like, it's just getting hurt.

165

Thanks for joining me on this trip down memory lane, Nathan.

166

And if you ever come to Canada, I will show you how we beat the hell out of each other for fun.

167

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.
