16
that's right bottle flipping we are going to be grabbing this
17
bowl we're going to be chuck it in the air
18
and we're going to be flipping it of course
19
that was a terrible one not so great so um
20
if you haven't heard of bottle flipping basically you grab a bottle you flip it like
21
that with your wrist and it goes upside down
22
and then lands on the flat thing lands on the bottom
23
and it has to stand upright it's very difficult so
24
if I throw it again you can see it just fell
25
over there um it's it takes a long long time to
26
get used to what it's he can't do it either
27
so yeah we're going to be trying the bottle flipping today
28
and we are going to do it and then
29
if we do I'll probably do a dab for you guys
30
because um why not you know that's what you do
31
when you win a bottle flip you dab
32
but not only are we bottle flipping today is also very special
33
because it is the launch oh
34
that was a close one is it is the launch of my juniper campaign that's correct
35
if you go to the link in the description at hellojuniper
36
.com forward slash alex i believe you will discover a page with a contest
37
and that contest is to win the first ever alex wolf plushie that's right
38
so all you've got to do is you head over to there you click like on the video that's there
39
and you've entered into the contest how amazing is
40
that well you've got to sign up the account
41
but that's easy you just click a button and it's done
42
so then once that's done you're entered and you're also on the juniper website
43
which means that you can like my videos you can make sure you're subscribed you can share them
44
which will get you alex points
45
and those alex points can be added up for stuff like
46

47
or even a special video message that's correct there's a lot of stuff to choose from vouchers for clothing
48
and things so head over there check that out
49
because it is absolutely fantastic
50
but now we're gonna be bottle flipping even more there's a
51
lot of bottles bipples around lots of bipples guys i'm gonna be throwing it's not i'm not doing
52
so well uh can i no no not really everyone's going
53
a lot of bottles a lot of mess they better recycle
54
this um this man's just spewing all over the place bottles he's not doing
55
so well though there does seem to be a basketball hoop i wonder
56
if we can get it in
57
and down into the i don't think that's gonna happen i don't think it's gonna happen at all
58
but here we go is that a bottle how did he do
59
that how did what who threw that
60
that went flying okay maybe maybe this one is this different
61
in any way oh no i'm just i'm drinking it for
62
some reason why am i does it now throw it higher
63
no not really oh okay right what is this man saying i am good at wbf look
64
so the easy way how to the bottle flip is click base space
65
if you're using your own computer what like
66
that it's just gone the bottle's just disappeared i think the way you do it it's just you left click
67
so i don't know why it says base space i presume
68
it means backspace oh come on i've got to do this
69
so there's also another game mode which is the same thing essentially
70
but on a different map so
71

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.
