137
No way.
138
Geez.
139
It was super hardcore.
140
I mean, he has told me so much stories.
141
He was climbing a coconut tree, like a 25 meter tall coconut tree.
142
He's climbing the rope.
143
And he's gaining on us.
144
he grabs his t -shirt puts it like that around the tree
145
and just that's how you think here he was covered in
146

191
I mean I had a banana and a peach but that also does not count.
192
For me it counts.
193
She's here by herself and she's just like hyping her up.

222
because she was the first person in the world to explain
223
how does the raymond laser works a laser that's being used in all the microscopes
224
and the submarines in the world right now harold urie took
225
that advice all the way to a nobel prize in chemistry
226

239
and heads of conquered kings to my city steps i get
240
a visit i gotta find a place where she was buried
241
throughout my entire life usually i would spend time with people older than me
242
and i would feel like okay i feel like closer with them than with people of my age
243
because usually they'll be like drinking
244

You did that for a while.
256
Yeah, I mean, I still do some things for fun.
257
Less dynamics, because one of my nine concussions
258
that I had in my life was because I flew off of the fuller bar in Santa Monica Muscle Beach, and I landed probably on my neck or head.
259
I don't even remember.
260
Dude, fuck, that's crazy.

289
My favorite.
290
You got it.
291
If you would be invisible, what would you do?
292
An invisible man can rule the world.
293
Nobody will see him come.
294
Nobody will see him go.
295
First I visit all the celebrities that I like, be a fly on the wall, see what their day in the life is like.

299
You're all five of them.
300
Sergi Sergi and Sergi.
301
That's three.
302
I would probably sneak into Area 51.
303
Whoa.
304
Yeah.
305
Badass.
306
See, what are the secrets?
307
I would fuck around a lot, I mean.
308
I won't know anything.
309
We'll sit in the back and sneak away as soon as it's over.
310
Another question.
311
If you could have three legs or three hands, what would you prefer?
312
I don't like his answer already.
313
It reminds me of a movie.
314
What's the name of it?
315
About a future where they were on a spaceship.
316
It was super futuristic.
317
There was a girl with three boobs.
318
Exactly.
319
You remind me of that.
320
Look, I don't know what futuristic utopia you live in, but the world I live in?
321
A bitch need a gun.
322
Is that where the idea came from?
323
Rick and Morty.
324
I like it, how about you?
325
Three legs or three arms?
326

327
I'm not even sure if we'll be able to put it on YouTube, to be honest.
328
Oh, here, I got you.

358
and partially european yeah unless you unless you get one of the like santa monica like surfer dudes
359
not so neutral now are you sweet or
360
if you go to whatever the rednecks place
361
and then usually i would speak like this
362
because right now you don't care about anywhere else
363
so i was in georgia atlanta georgia
364
and then i drove for an hour one hour away from georgia to a city called back down
365
and i stopped at the gas station to get some snacks
366
and i saw some american dudes some like fat americans sitting on a bench
367
and yada yada yada yada i was recording video they asked
368
me something like like what did you say i'm sorry can you repeat it again a little slowly
369
like all right nice meeting you i mean i spent majority
370
of my life in the us I couldn't understand American in the U .S.
371
My heart is racing.
372
Yeah.
373
All those years of smoking.
374
What gets you out of bed in the morning?
375
What gets your heart racing?
376
Your blood pumping, you know?
377
You've been smoking since I'm like 12.
378
Fuck.
379
I smoked only for one year of my life.
380
And I hooked half of my class on cigarettes and then I quit myself.
381
I'm like, fuck it, it's not healthy you guys smoke
382
if you want to i'm done with it i mean what's
383
the reason to smoke cigarettes i don't get it can you just let me know in the comments below
384
if you smoke why the hell do you smoke i would
385
say it depends on the people sometimes in the beginning it's more of like a
386
way to be cool yeah
387
and then just turns into a habit that's how i started
388
you guys want to take break no no i'm taking a break we are we're a team here take a break
389
why don't you guys come and join us here you're like away from the group They're actually enjoying the walk, not a talk.
390
We came here for nature.
391
Not to be, yes.
392
Hold it at the height of our eyes.
393
Yeah, that's the best.
394
I wouldn't look as good if it would be above me.
395
You need to look good for the ladies.
396
This English talking channel is for everyone else.
397
Ladies only.
398
And what's there above it?
399
The Arkenstone.
400
Somebody recently asked me like, Hey, are you dating anyone?
401
I'm like, I'm traveling all over the fucking world.
402
How can I date someone and travel all over the world nonstop?
403
Different country, different girlfriend.
404
I mean, I don't even have a girlfriend in every country.
405
That would probably be fun, but I don't even have time to date anyone, to be honest, because I run two companies and I'm developing FoxU .com,
406
which is soon going to become one of the largest English learning platforms in the world.
407
Let's go.
408
And dating someone, you know, I was like, where would I fit it in?
409
I mean, if you want to date someone that needs to be someone as adventurous and as busy as you.
410
Exactly.
411
I got so busy this afternoon, I couldn't fit it in.
412
Some people in a relationship, they like to just, like, build a life together and completely separate from themselves as a person.
413
And some people in a relationship enjoy having their personal path.
414
Also, with having the path you guys walk through together.
415
So yeah, you need someone who also wants to focus on their own financial well -being Business
416
or building themselves something for themselves as well.
417
I'm gonna show you guys I always carry a picture of my perfect girlfriend that I'm looking for
418

436
Were you born in Bulgaria or Turkey?
437

438
How come you're Turkish?

441
we should be ruling the humans not running around making back alley treaties with them there were the turks from
442
that time yeah
443
and a lot of families stayed here it's not enslaved they
444
lived together actually i'm pretty sure there were a lot of wars between that's like a history it's
445

446
or hundreds of years ago and you guys are chill about about it like they slaved
447

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.
