I'm outside McDonald's right now, and I'm going to be 100 % honest in a job interview.

Got my disguise, let's do this.

Start 2022 with a bang.

I'm here for an interview.

Interview?

Okay, so what's your name?

Raymond.

Okay, just give me a moment to take a seat.

Alright, great, great.

Okay, so we follow these five vital ingredients.

I'm used to ingredients.

I put them in a couple of my things which I sell on the streets and stuff, so I'm doing good.

What do you do?

Right now, I'm dealing drugs.

Obviously, I've come here all masked up because I don't know what ops are in this McDonald's building, but yeah.

Is there a drug?

I don't understand.

No, no, no. The streets aren't a joke.

You don't want to be selling drugs, but sometimes you have to be.

Who do you respect and why?

I respect you.

I used to respect my mum until she kicked me out for dealing drugs.

Now, I don't really respect that cow, to be honest.

How would you demonstrate respect in a workplace?

Say you're a customer.

What do you want to eat?

I would like a Big Mac, please.

You'd like a Big Mac? all right Stacy let's get a Big Mac

you just stay there all right you remain calm we're gonna get

you the Big Mac in the back it's coming right

now all right thanks Stacy here you go my friend what's your name

current well here you go current have the Big Mac

and we're loving it why is it important to have a smart appearance at work well

I dress smart me I'm a smart dresser

so to be honest I don't even think anyone should be showing their face at all

I think everyone should just hide their faces

so the ops don't run into each other and stuff like

that I'm pretty sure

that McDonald's employee just walked past there I've seen him on the streets before

I can't trust myself around him right now we greet

and say goodbye to team members and customers with a smile

so how can I smile

when I'm covering my face no I mean you'd be smiling yeah tell from your eyes yeah okay

so if you smile yeah I can't tell if you're smiling right now

so you know okay but also

if we want to remain safe we want to keep the masks on so wait

if you smile sorry are you smiling right now i'm not smiling right now see this is the issue

that needs to be changed

that part of the thing i'd say we do the thumbs up one time

i gave someone like four pounds of crack

and i was like here take this have a nice day yeah

because it just it's easy it's easy like

that i think everyone's always talking about the corporate world sometimes we should take the rules of the streets

and move them on to mcdonald's as well i feel like

that sometimes works as well

i think a thumbs up is good all right not a smile could we speak to um ronald um about

that okay no i'll pass for the word how would you greet a customer all right uh

you good you want a macky's anything more would you like a macky's mate would it be nothing I can't say please.

Can I help you, please?

I can't say that.

That's a bit stupid.

So you're the customer.

I'd like a quarter pounder, please.

Okay, thank you.

Quarter pounder, please.

Right now, let's get that quarter pounder.

Sorry, what's your name?

You don't need to know my name.

We don't need to know his name, but we need the quarter pounder now.

Hurry up and bring it.

Bring it now.

Okay, let's move on to the next question, okay?

Okay, the quarter pounder's on its way.

Yeah, that's fine.

Okay, alright.

Here you go thank you how do you cope with a challenge

there was one time um where i had probably about 14

um pounds of um crack those eyes are locked onto our hidden camera

that what's going on oh wow clearly it's no no it's not a joke

100

101

Okay, all right.

102

Thank you for the email.

103

And I would just like to say it's been a great interview.

104

I can't wait to start.

105

I think it's going to be sick.

106

I think we get along as well.

107

We've got good rapport.

108

I don't know about sad.

109

I think maybe we should sack a sad.

110

But, um, Yeah, what are you doing later tonight?

111

Maybe we could just start chilling as well.

112

I'll be closing tonight, so I'm meeting you at midnight.

113

Okay, so meet you at midnight, and maybe we can have a good time and talk around.

114

Thank you, Kyrian, thank you.

115

Ray, ratio.

116

Alright, big up.

117

Love, love my G.

118

Alright, well, that was interesting.

119

I think I've got a job at McDonald's, and yeah, let's roll.

120

But there was one pussy that I had to knock out before leaving.

121

Listen here, you snitch.

122

You snitched on me, Asad and I do not appreciate how you ruined my mission.

123

I am fuming right now.

124

You ruined my life.

125

Say hello to Chunks.

126

I'll say hello to Chunks, but Chunks is going to start crying when he finds out you didn't help me get a job.

127

But it's fine because I've got another job interview to go to.

128

Trust me, my friends, we're only just getting started.

129

If you enjoyed that interview, you better like the video right now, my friend.

130

Excuse me, could you tell him to like the video?

131

There we go.

132

Even he said it.

133

So 300 ,069 likes or you'll know better than that snitches art!

134

I mean it!

135

So like the video now, thank you.

136

And shoutout Kai Sennett for this amazing video idea.

137

Big up.

138

The one issue is that they clocked me, so I'm gonna have to think of an idea to stop that from happening.

139

And that idea is teaming up with a business owner

140

that is part of the NDL who is willing to let me prank one of their employees.

141

And that's where we found

142

Ross from Hot Dolce, the dessert restaurant.

143

The restaurant owners have set him up

144

and he thinks he's taken a very serious job interview for the role of restaurant manager.

145

But in reality, it's me disguised as a straight -up killer who just

146

so happens to be wearing the greatest T -shirts in the game.

147

Hoodies are also available.

148

Find them on shopndl .com.

149

But back to the video, Ross is walking in and I'm sat upstairs waiting.

150

Let's see if I can get the job.

151

Speak about yourself and why you want to join us.

152

Like six years ago, I killed four people and massacred them, to be honest.

153

I beat the case, even though I blatantly did it.

154

And then from there, I sort of moved on to just like knife crime, instead of just shooting people up.

155

And from there, I moved on to working at Starbucks, which was the most difficult of the lot.

156

Yeah, where is Starbucks?

157

Yeah, so that's what you're focusing on, yeah?

158

So in terms of Starbucks, I was the manager at Starbucks.

159

I got in beef with one of my employees.

160

They spat in two drinks at once, and usually we limit it to like one yeah I sacked him

161

and sort of like we had a fight unfortunately from there he

162

when I punched him in the face died and

163

so I got convicted for manslaughter and spent two years in jail

164

and then after that I got a job at McDonald's manager there got good turnover

165

and yeah yeah no

166

so my fav is you don't care about the murder

167

I live a long time I've done a lot of silly things in my life so you I'm 64.

168

Sorry, is it possible for me to get a water?

169

Excuse me!

170

Thanks Abdul.

171

Thank you, thank you mate.

172

I love water.

173

Because I don't know exactly what kind of percentage that it gives, I don't know.

174

But I know that's how they do it.

175

Geez, I love water.

176

I'm not a water person personally.

177

Since I want to get married, that's why my whole life changed basically.

178

from the way I focus in life.

179

I was once married three years ago, and my wife said to me, could you go and get this chicken unix from Sainfries?

180

So I knocked her out.

181

You remind me of my number three son.

182

Oh, your son's a killer.

183

You don't care that I've killed anyone, do you?

184

Make no difference to me.

185

Because I was trying to explain to my children, in life, it's not about what other people do, it's about what you do.

186

Because what other people do, you have no control of.

187

What you do, you have control of.

188

My number three son, I was talking to Abdul.

189

I'm sorry, but how does this man not care

190

that I'm literally saying I'm a murderer and he has a master's degree in waffling as well.

191

But let's speed this up.

192

It's time I take charge and start telling him what I can do for the business.

193

I know I can generate a lot of money here.

194

Is that a crying baby?

195

Shall I deal with that, a crying baby?

196

I have before, you know, chucked one into the notion.

197

If this is the way you speak,

198

there is no way anybody can give you a job because you try to instill fear to the people you speak.

199

No, I don't.

200

No, I don't.

201

I just kill them straight out right.

202

I don't even instill the fear.

203

I don't waste time on that stuff.

204

Sorry, carry on with your useless breakdown.

205

You're not passing by me because basically I'm your first interview.

206

Is it because I've killed 437 people?

207

That made no difference for me.

208

I'm scared about your character.

209

You killed 403 people.

210

Will I find out if I've got the job today because he's telling me that...

211

He's telling me that he's killed 403 people.

212

So basically that because of that doesn't mean he doesn't get the job.

213

He's smoking crack.

214

I've never said anything like that, ever.

215

Is it possible for one more water please?

216

Don't tell anyone about all of my killings.

217

I told you that in confidence.

218

Be careful because that donny right there...

219

I could have X 'ed him off right there.

220

He's not supposed to know about this stuff.

221

Hi, gentlemen.

222

Please, take a seat.

223

Please, take a seat.

224

Oh, nice one, yeah.

225

As he's just writing down, at McDonald's, I turned around 20K a day.

226

At Starbucks, I turned around 200K a week.

227

You tell me now, you work at Starbucks, and you take 200K a week, I can't tell you.

228

There is no way any

229

Starbucks will take 200K a week.

230

That's craziness.

231

No, no, no, no, no. I would never lie.

232

What have you done in your career? nothing yeah exactly in my career I've done

233

that you ever worked in a Starbucks before okay name three

234

people from Starbucks name them Johnny Allison Shakira name three

235

but that's three people from Starbucks you can't name anyone yeah

236

you probably never even work to Starbucks in your life I'm very good with teams.

237

I've worked for many teams.

238

Manchester United, Chelsea.

239

Yeah, all on football manager.

240

Like literally every single one of them.

241

It's not how good you are.

242

He's going to be proud of you.

243

My own son worked for me and I sat there.

244

My son is very good for me.

245

He was probably a schmuck.

246

No, because I don't let, I want him to have a feeling somewhere else.

247

He deserved the sack.

248

If you are the manager of things, you need to balance your team, give them things rather than take away from them.

249

I wouldn't take anything away from anyone, apart from their life.

250

I'm joking.

251

That was a joke.

252

I would never do anything like that.

253

You know.

254

Just calm yourself down.

255

Apart from the beginning.

256

If you can just give us just 20 seconds, just 10 seconds.

257

If you just walk...

258

Yeah, I'll give you a chance, guys.

259

If you can just stand in the corner, I'll just dress you back over and show you.

260

If I don't get this job, they're going to arrest me and find me.

261

Can you get me this job or not?

262

I can't.

263

Please, mate.

264

I can't.

265

I need it.

266

I need it.

267

Give it to me.

268

Give it to me.

269

Okay, all right.

270

Where is he?

271

It's nice meeting you anyway.

272

He says you are my first experience of unique.

273

Well, he's saying I'm very unique and I haven't got the job.

274

He just doesn't know what he's talking about, unfortunately.

275

Totally, I want crack.

276

Yeah, heavy, heavy amounts of crack you're smoking daily.

277

I feel like we might as well just end it there.

278

Thanks, mate.

279

Peace out.

280

Now, as I'm walking downstairs, devastated I didn't get the job.

281

Lucky for us, the store owner is in on the prank and we previously miked him up, so now we get to hear what

282

Ross really thinks of me.

283

And I'm telling you, this is great.

284

Is that a good candidate?

285

You didn't like his behaviour or what's the issue?

286

He said nothing.

287

Honestly?

288

What he talks about every five years is I've killed this guy, I'm nested, sorry about the death of a victim.

289

Ah, okay.

290

Every five years, when he's idiot, he's for killing me.

291

Seriously?

292

And that's the way he's under here.

293

So I was thinking, at the end, when he asked me to go, he's begging me, you know, please, I need this job,

294

if not, they're going to put me in a mental institution.

295

Man.

296

So do you actually think he done those things?

297

No. Because we have to report him or something?

298

No, but I'm thinking he's mentally not right.

299

That's why every time I look for my phone, he's scared, I'm ringing the police because he thinks...

300

Ah, that's why.

301

Okay, I was like, yeah.

302

He says, I'm reading the piece.

303

The moment you or Amu come here, if you change the thing, I'm looking at your life.

304

Maybe you should record him, yeah.

305

That's what I was trying to do.

306

Should we send him any recording?

307

No, we should record him.

308

Oh, he's here, he's here.

309

Did he tell you anything?

310

Yes, I told you there's no way you'll pass me because as far as I'm concerned, you're too overconfident.

311

Did you tell him about the killings?

312

The murder?

313

Killing, murder?

314

You told me.

315

It's confidential between us.

316

This whole thing wasn't real.

317

It was fake.

318

It wasn't real life.

319

I've massively enjoyed my conversation with you, but it has all been filmed as well.

320

It's all on camera.

321

You got pranked, mate.

322

What a person you are, my friend.

323

There's a camera right there.

324

Oh, there's a camera.

325

He doesn't know what to think.

326

My God.

327

You're setting me up.

328

You're setting me up.

329

Yeah, you are.

330

It's crazy you are.

331

So the question is, will I get the job now?

332

No. Fair enough.

333

What can you do?

334

What else can I do?

335

I'll send a NDL hoodie to you in the post.

336

So today I haven't been able to get a job, but that doesn't mean I won't try again in the future.

337

So please like the video now so I know if you want to see me do this again.

338

And subscribe to join the NDL as we continue our mission of global domination.

339

Until next week, my friends.

340

Bye.

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.
