Today, we are playing

Keyboard Escape on Roblox, but you can hug people.

Oh, I picked up Baby Dash.

All right, let's go, Baby Dash.

Wait, what?

Hold on.

Why are you holding me?

Don't worry.

I'll help you.

We're going to get all the way to the end.

What in the world?

What is this?

Boy, girl.

Oh, you can change your outfit in here.

Well, I'm good.

I kind of like my current outfit.

We're also riding on top of brooms.

I think that's like a Halloween update because it's like almost Halloween or something.

All right, well, this is kind of nice.

I don't even have to do anything.

I think in this game, you're supposed to like carry your crush or something.

So this might be a little bit weird if i'm carrying you but You were the first person I picked up.

So that is what it is.

Okay.

Wait, go back go back

We don't have enough um speed to go here yet.

Yeah, wait, we're gonna need to go on the treadmill

Wait, what is this?

Oh, this is so smart guys.

Whenever you go on the treadmill

They have like a like a little mini game for you to play That's hilarious.

All right.

Well, I don't really want to play a mini game

Uh, let's claim our one win and now baby dash we can go here and we can buy some

Wait, what can we buy with the one win?

Buy an egg.

No, I want to buy one of these things instead.

We can get a better step.

Wait, hold on.

I'm getting off of you.

This is like...

Okay, I can't even release myself.

I have to wait 10 more seconds till I can release myself.

Bro, what in the world is this game?

Like, what are we doing right here?

Should I try going past this guy?

All right, I'm out.

Wait, I think I'm going faster now that I'm not carrying you anymore.

You were really fat, Baby Dash.

You were really dragging me down.

Oh, wait, this block blast game is pretty satisfying.

Are you seriously just playing the game on the phone?

No!

Guys, I fell!

Oh, man.

I guess I'm not going to be getting any wins.

Wait, Anne, Anne, can you come back for a second?

I just wanted to say, uh, you're coming with me.

Wait, hold on.

We both get speed if you're carrying me.

Wait, so this entire game, can you, like, literally get one person who's, like, really, really overpowered and, like, you know, already has,

like, a crazy amount of speed?

Can you get that person to just pick up everybody else in the lobby, bring them all the way to the end,

and then everyone gets overpowered?

Like, from my understanding, I think you can kind of just do that.

Wait, we gotta go into a public server.

There's probably gonna be some really overpowered people who can just pick us up

and take us all the way to the end.

You're right.

There probably will be.

Should we go here, by the way?

No, no, no, no. Hey, what are you doing?

I said no. We're going to make it in.

Don't worry.

What did I say?

All right, let me go here and claim this thing.

I can now get a...

Oh, I already have it claimed.

I now get two steps every time I walk.

Look, there's a 10x speed treadmill over here.

I'm just getting a ton of speed on this thing.

What?

There's a 10x speed...

Okay, that's kind of overpowered.

Is there any way to disable this thing?

This thing's kind of annoying, I'm not going to lie.

I'm not seeing a settings button anywhere.

Well, guys, guess we're just gonna need to keep on playing some Block Blast.

I'm going crazy right now.

My score is 763.

You're actually like an addict.

That's insane.

Sounds like somebody's just jealous that I'm good.

Uh, what am I doing, bro?

I'm losing.

I'm actually losing in the game.

This is like Tetris, but like slower.

What's that?

100

You don't know what Tetris is?

101

Why would I know what a Tetris is?

102

I just lost.

103

I didn't even know you could lose in this game.

104

Um, wait, I think I'm doing good right now, actually.

105

Boom.

106

Let's put that there.

107

Okay, what am I doing?

108

This isn't even like Keyword Escape.

109

Oh, now I'm doing really good wait

110

and let me pick you up real quick wait let me pick

111

115

116

and you're not hugging me right

117

now you're kind of just like holding me by the by

118

the hair like what is this whoa hold on the ground

119

is getting really satisfying what it looks like there's just bubbles on the ground now okay

120

Okay, this stage had level 45 recommended.

121

I'm level 55, so I think we still should be able to make it.

122

Hey guys, I'm about to get level 100.

123

I'm already level 85.

124

Are you rebirthing?

125

I'm just playing some block blast.

126

It's crazy.

127

Okay, Anne, this level says 55 recommended.

128

You have exactly 55, right?

129

Yeah, I think I can make it.

130

I'm gonna try making a run for it.

131

What even is this level?

132

What is going on?

133

I genuinely don't know what that was.

134

Okay, this stage says level 70 recommended.

135

Anne, just take the wins.

136

Let's take the wins.

137

All right, yeah, I'll take the wins.

138

Oh, heck yeah.

139

Wait, wait, wait.

140

I can't release myself.

141

I think there's like a cooldown on it.

142

You have to wait 15 seconds.

143

Bruh.

144

Well, guess I'm just stuck here.

145

Wow, so this game is literally just keyboard escape, but you can like kidnap other people.

146

Who came up with this idea?

147

Somebody.

148

All right, well, I've got a lot of stuff now.

149

I'm leveling it up pretty fast.

150

You - Oh my goodness, the phone is actually so annoying, bro.

151

You can't have the rebirth screen open with the phone open at the same time.

152

Uh, anyways, I'm just gonna spam some rebirths now.

153

Baby Dash, you haven't rebirthed a single time.

154

Nope, why would I need to?

155

I'm just playing some block blast over here.

156

It's pretty awesome.

157

And you You know, this treadmill isn't going to be around for long.

158

I got to make the most out of it.

159

Fair enough.

160

Let me rebirth one more time.

161

And okay, there we go.

162

Now I think I'm just going to spam levels.

163

I'm just going to get a ton of levels over here.

164

I'm almost level 100.

165

I'm going to get level 100 before this treadmill goes away.

166

I'm almost level 100 too.

167

I just spammed those rebirths.

168

Wait, can I do this?

169

Oh, wait.

170

What?

171

It doesn't work.

172

Wait, what are you trying to do?

173

Wait, wait, wait.

174

Hold on.

175

Can you come off of the treadmill for a second?

176

Okay, yeah.

177

What?

178

What do you want?

179

Just like come here and - Hey!

180

All right, we're going, buddy.

181

I need to get to level 100.

182

Don't worry.

183

We're going to get you a lot of wins.

184

This is not a lot of wins.

185

Why did it take so long to get released?

186

Baby Dash, remember at the start of the game, I picked you up?

187

Oh, my goodness.

188

Hi.

189

I'm free.

190

Finally.

191

Get over here.

192

Nope.

193

I'm not.

194

How did he just let you pick me up?

195

I thought you can't pick people up when you're on a treadmill.

196

All right, baby

197

Ash, I need to help you for your own good, all right?

198

What do you mean for my own good?

199

I was using that treadmill perfectly fine.

200

Yeah, but you have like no wins, do you?

201

I have a lot of wins.

202

I'm taking you all the way to the end.

203

We're gonna get you so many wins, buddy.

204

Don't call me buddy.

205

I'm not your buddy.

206

No, wait, I just died.

207

What was that?

208

All right, hold on.

209

You know what?

210

You're coming with me.

211

What just happened?

212

I escaped you right before that last level ended.

213

You just dropped me off with that bacon.

214

All right, you know what?

215

I'm just playing by myself anymore.

216

I'm not even playing with somebody else.

217

Oh my goodness, dude.

218

I'm going too fast.

219

No, I actually hate games like this

220

This is terrible.

221

It's like keyboard escape but like really really unsmooth and just really bad

222

Yeah, whose idea was it to play this game?

223

Uh, not mine.

224

Oh my goodness.

225

I just got killed by a ball

226

Well, that's all a part of the process

227

You just gotta keep going until one day

228

you're fast enough to not get killed by the ball I'm already fast enough to not get killed by the ball.

229

I just gotta um

230

Not have the game lag out on me.

231

Okay, so now you're blaming you on lag

232

Dude, this game objectively is like laggy and stuff.

233

Anyways, what is going on on this stage?

234

Oh, there's stuff that like gets thrown at you.

235

Let's keep running and easy peasy.

236

I can now claim 10 ,000 wins.

237

What is this area?

238

Level 100 recommended.

239

I'm doing it without level 100.

240

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

241

Can you even die on this level?

242

You can't.

243

Oh, but I still made it anyways.

244

Let me claim these 25 ,000 wins.

245

What in the world?

246

Gameplay paused while the game is loading.

247

The game took too long to load that it did all that.

248

Oh, and wait, now I can claim the 500 steps per step.

249

What?

250

I have so many steps now.

251

All right, let's play some more Block Blast.

252

Let's go.

253

My score is 4 ,000 right now.

254

Mine is 48.

255

How did you get 4 ,000?

256

I'm just really good at the game, you know?

257

All right, well, I guess I'll just play some

258

Block Blast while I'm waiting for my treadmill to do its thing.

259

Dude, I'm level...

260

Oh, there we go.

261

I just hit level 100.

262

How are you at level 100 before me?

263

I think I'm just like the best.

264

Should I rebirth again? hmm nah

265

i'm not gonna rebirth again the treadmill's here for another one minute 30 seconds one thing

266

i should do though i need to open up some eggs let me go here

267

and i'm gonna open up

268

this 20k one let's see what am i going to get a galaxy snake

269

it's an uncommon that's pretty bad what do the galaxy snakes do 700x boost okay what yo i'm leveling up

270

so fast now all right i guess i'll rebirth actually you're this this game is actually

271

so offensive i've been grinding actually for so long.

272

You just came here

273

and like just started like stepping on the treadmill on my treadmill like five seconds ago

274

and now you're higher level than me.

275

Dude, you've been grinding block blast.

276

I've been grinding the actual game, alright?

277

Actually, I'm grinding some block blast too.

278

This game's kind of kind of fun.

279

No!

280

You know how it's supposed to work.

281

Sorry, buddy.

282

This is how it works.

283

This is just how it goes.

284

If you play the actual game, you're gonna get higher level than the other person who doesn't actually play the game.

285

Anyways, I guess I'll just keep spamming rebirths.

286

Wait!

287

Max rebirth reached!

288

Oh my goodness.

289

You actually hit the max rebirth.

290

I'm also at 50 ,000 wins now, so I'm kind of just...

291

Did you just pick me up?

292

I guess I did.

293

I didn't even mean to do that intentionally.

294

Hold on, and we're about to make it really far, though.

295

Let me get a couple more levels with this treadmill here,

296

and then we're about to make it all the way to the end of the entire game.

297

I believe it.

298

I feel like you probably can actually go to the end of the game.

299

Wait, guys, the treadmill says free for zero seconds.

300

It's still going, though.

301

We still have the treadmill.

302

What in the world?

303

Is it still giving it to us?

304

Is it still giving us a 10x boost?

305

Let's see.

306

If I compare it to the 1x, treadmill over here.

307

The 1x treadmill is super slow, but the 10x one over here?

308

Yeah, it's going way faster, I think.

309

That's hilarious.

310

All right, well, and it's time to go.

311

Wait, can I teleport?

312

There's a portal.

313

You can teleport.

314

Oh, perfect.

315

How many wins do I have?

316

57 ,000.

317

Let's teleport all the way to stage 11.

318

That only costed 2 ,000 wins.

319

Have we been to this stage before?

320

Yeah, yeah, we have.

321

Wait, where are you?

322

I'm floating.

323

I think when you teleported, it didn't teleport me.

324

Bro, this game is so cursed.

325

Oh my goodness, it's so laggy too.

326

All right.

327

I'm on this level now.

328

This is the furthest I've ever made it.

329

Oh, okay.

330

Wait, can I just make it all?

331

I can just make it all the way to the end.

332

I think this like broom that we're on, like the flying broom, I think it gives us like slow falling or something.

333

Anyway, this area says level 120.

334

If this guy kills me, I'm reviving.

335

As much as I hate to give this game my hard -earned Robux, I'm still going to do it anyways.

336

All right, here we go.

337

Here we go.

338

Let's destroy this.

339

Wait, what?

340

Yeah, I'm not doing all that again.

341

I'm not doing all that again.

342

I'm reviving once more.

343

Hey guys, the treadmill's back for another 15 minutes.

344

That's something.

345

Okay, so for this level, I think what you have to do is you just have to run in a circle.

346

All right.

347

One more time.

348

But I think what you have to do is just run in a circle until that timer over there runs out.

349

Bro!

350

Nah, this game is actually eating all of my Robux.

351

You know what?

352

I'm teleporting straight to stage 14.

353

I'm spending all of my wins.

354

There we go.

355

I just spent 50 ,000 wins.

356

I have to do this stage again.

357

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

358

Maybe I can survive this.

359

This is not good.

360

This is really really bad looking.

361

I can still jump over here, but I don't think i'll be able to make it to the end

362

No, you gotta be kidding me, man.

363

This is is what it's come down to I guess now

364

Actually, what is this game?

365

Why is this so cursed?

366

I think this is just like a really good example of a super unoptimized game like this game

367

I can't imagine how it would run on, like, a phone.

368

Yeah, imagine playing this on mobile.

369

That would not be fun.

370

All right, well, you know what?

371

I really, really want to get past that level, so I'm just gonna have to revive once more.

372

All right, how did I do this level so good the first time?

373

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You gotta be kidding me.

374

You actually gotta be kidding me.

375

I'm serious.

376

All right, let's try one more time.

377

Let's try this one more time here.

378

Last time, no more spending Robux.

379

How much Robux have you spent on revives?

380

Um, I don't want to talk about it.

381

Bro, I keep overshooting the jump

382

Nah, this is terrible actually.

383

How are you supposed to do this?

384

This is so bad

385

Okay, wait, wait, wait, I'm gonna do one more.

386

This is actually the last one

387

If this doesn't get me all the way to the end then i'm gonna have to try something else

388

Okay, I need to limit my speed.

389

Let's limit my speed to 150.

390

Okay, that's that's feeling more reasonable now

391

There we go.

392

Okay, that was good.

393

That was good.

394

Um, yeah, I think limiting the speed is definitely a good good method

395

Good strategy for sure.

396

I'm gonna have to do each one of these jumps slowly and precisely.

397

I'm about to get a 10 ,000 streak on Block Blast.

398

I just fell again.

399

I actually...

400

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

401

Come on, come on, come on, come on.

402

Yes, yes.

403

No, no. You gotta be kidding me.

404

I went too fast for my own good again.

405

Dude, this is terrible.

406

I'm just playing some

407

Block Blast over here.

408

All right, I'm getting another revive.

409

I'm getting another one.

410

Just one more.

411

Dash, you've been saying that.

412

I know, I know.

413

This is really, really bad.

414

This is really disgusting.

415

This is 100 % the game developer's fault.

416

This is not my fault at all.

417

This is not a skill issue.

418

I forgot like 400 billion speed.

419

Guys, I'm about to get 10 ,000 score on Block Blast.

420

The Block Blast thing is smart.

421

It's like, remember in Steal an Egg?

422

The first day that that game came out, there was like a TikTok clone whenever you stand on the treadmill.

423

This is like that.

424

This is the same idea.

425

Come on, come on.

426

I'm almost at 10 ,000.

427

How many points do you have in Block Blast right now?

428

9 ,950.

429

Oh, gosh.

430

Wait, I fell.

431

I fell.

432

Let's just go back over here.

433

Oh, hey, Dash.

434

I'm right next to you now.

435

Oh, welcome in.

436

Wait, you want to see something cool?

437

I'm going to do a method.

438

I'm going to do a good little tactic here.

439

Just got to go down over here.

440

No. Why does it keep making me go higher up than I want to be?

441

Oh, I overshot it.

442

But I can just come back here.

443

Yeah, it's pretty convenient.

444

You can always just come back here if you overshoot it.

445

But look, I'm going to try like a new innovative tactic.

446

I'm going to go here.

447

And look at that.

448

I'm just gonna use the ladder to boost myself up and then I can go all the way to the end.

449

Oh, that was convenient

450

Now, how do we do this next stage?

451

Okay.

452

Okay, and let me let me warn you

453

This next stage is really really disgusting and really bad

454

The way that it works is you see that timer there.

455

Yeah, the five seconds

456

Yeah, pretty much you have to wait for that timer to run out

457

But also this monster is gonna be chasing you

458

So you have to kind of just like go in a circle until the timer runs out

459

and you can go into the zone

460

And this was the end of the game.

461

We did it.

462

Oh my goodness.

463

Finally.

464

Yes And I just hit 10 ,000 points in Block Blast.

465

Wow, what an end of the story.

466

Oh, and the treadmill is gone.

467

It's still there for me.

468

Maybe it's gone for me because I got out of render distance and I came back.

469

No!

470

Man, now it's gone.

471

Well, this was quite the adventure, I won't lie.

472

I really wonder how many players this game has.

473

There's so much stuff going on on my screen.

474

Like, I don't even know what's happening.

475

I'm gonna guess the game has, like, 1 ,000 players.

476

I'm gonna guess 10 ,000.

477

This game's great.

478

I'm guessing 200.

479

All right.

480

So 1 ,000, 10 ,000, and 200.

481

Wait, wait.

482

I'm doing a random speed run right now.

483

I actually just made it all the way to the end.

484

Almost. But okay.

485

Let's see.

486

How many players does this game have?

487

Let's find out.

488

It has got 471.

489

I was the closest.

490

I'll take it.

491

Yeah, that makes sense.

492

Well, that was pretty crazy.

493

And if you want to watch the next one, then click on the video on the screen right now.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
