48
Nick, no. I'm putting the camera down.
49
Nick, you the real community good.
50
Those goods for the whole community.
51
Oh, the car's on.
52
I forgot to shut it off.
53
Oops.
54
Oh, I'm almost about to get hit by a different car.
55
Oh my god, I parked so far away from the curb.
56
Yeah, but they can see the green flashing light.
57
So let's just throw a couple photos.
58
Okay.
59
Matt, Matt, we're good.
60
Just wasted a whole dollar.
61
Okay.
62
And we're on for five minutes.
63
Two percent milk.
64
So please shut up.
65
45 minutes.
66
I just saw it flash.
67
Yep.
68
Matt.
69
I had one more car.
70
Like, let me get rid of it.
71
Oh, look at the grass.
72
Oh, there's the line.
73
I'm waiting here.
74
Matt, come on.
75
No, I'll see you.
76
Matt, let's go.
77
god i got like a genie pass for this shit
78

79
that little shady spot yes find me right over there where
80
is matt he doesn't want to wait over here i don't
81
care what he wants matt like actually not waiting in line is like insane nick
82
and chris are in line i refuse to wait in line with them i also didn't bring my wallet
83
because I refuse to spend my own personal money on this.
84
Now that that's over, social anxiety is literally making it hard for me to even film right here.
85
I wonder how many vapes are in people's pockets in that line over there.
86
I can't believe people wait in line for coffee.
87
Can it be that good?
88
Is coffee really different at that many different locations?
89
And what's the hype with matcha?
90
Where did it come from?
91
Overnight success for the matcha.
92
The LA community really just lets it thrive off of its back.
93
And there's so many different versions.
94
They're not getting my own.
95
I don't need my own.
96
That fucking grass juice.
97
Maybe I'll love it.
98
That would be pretty interesting if I just loved it.
99
Does he look like he fits in?
100
Oh, somebody just noticed them.
101
Gotta get oat milk.
102
That's like super meat-shipping.
103
Right, right.
104
Hi, how are you?
105
Good, how are you?
106
Good.
107
Can I get an iced matcha latte?
108
Can we do vanilla?
109
And what kind of milk does it?
110
Oatmeal.
111
Thank you.
112
And then can we do the maple lavender matcha as well?
113
So one brown clark, which is the raspberry lemonade, and then matcha latte iced oat vanilla, and then maple lavender matcha iced oat?
114
Yes, perfect.
115
Thank you.
116
The floods, the floods, the horrible floods.
117
Someone goes, eight days ago review, four stars.
118
I'll be honest.
119
I wasn't sure if waiting over an hour for a matcha could possibly be worth it.
120
When I first got here, saw the line, I seriously questioned my decision.
121
But after taking my first sip, I completely understood the hype.
122
The matcha is absolutely heavenly.
123
It's rich, creamy, perfectly sweet, and one of the best matcha drinks I've ever had wow breakfast
124
and both are delicious the pistachio bread was soft
125
and flavorful right i'm never like waiting in line like
126
if they don't it's like i don't know
127
if i don't burst i can't come here again i won't do it what did you get in
128
that pink cup so this is half tea Half raspberry lemonade Yeah, that one's gonna be tea Clock it Anyways,
129
let's all dive into the maple one first, I guess That doesn't taste like what I thought it would taste like It tastes pretty actually freaking good Dude, is it worth the wait?
130
But for me, it's not like life-changing Like, I need to come back 15 minutes Yeah, no, that wasn't that long That was actually good This might be top three What?
131
Top three worst drinks I've ever put in my mouth Oh no, yay It's it.
132
All right, let's start off.
133
Not good.
134
Imagine they ask you at the thing.
135
It's like, there's like two lines.
136
It's like a million plus line.
137
Well, that's why it took you guys 15 minutes.
138
That's the genie pass.
139
Yeah, because we have more clout.
140
The genie pass is internet virality.
141
Yes, yes.
142
The more followers, the more ahead.
143
Every million followers you have is a person you can skip in line.
144
The vanilla one's really good.
145
Really?
146
I do like, I like these, but I'm never coming back.
147
The maple one's my favorite.
148
I'm just going to tell you my head take of this.
149
Why?
150
I think that it's just like a bad drink that they're trying to mask with different flavors like maple or vanilla.
151
Yeah.
152
Yeah, no. It's a bad drink with 20% good and it's the flavor that they try to make it.
153
Oh, snap.
154
Is it healthy, though?
155
Is that why people get it?
156
Lemonade, raspberry, iced tea.
157
That one actually looks really good.
158
The colors are gorgeous.
159
Ooh, that's yummy.
160
Uh-huh.
161
On second thought, not as yummy.
162
Oh, Matt, you made the stankest face I've seen.
163
That one's better than those two, 100%.
164
So you're a lemonade fan.
165
I'm a lemonader.
166
But that's not worth it.
167
Hey, he's a lemonader.
168
Should I start flying lemonade?
169
Here, Nick, do you try?
170
The lids are weird.
171
I think I have to suckle on it a little bit.
172
Yeah, you have to mouth it for sure.
173
This is delicious.
174
Yummy.
175
But it tastes like I'd rather just get a cup of ice and a jug of Pure Leaf.
176
That's what I'm saying, bro.
177
Delish, though.
178
I'd rather get a 99-cent Arizona can.
179

Well, yeah, look at how cool.
202
Like, you're not gonna shit in the dip.
203
I think I'd hide on the dip because it's like you can shit in private if you go on the dip.
204
Wait, like, do you think we should probably get Dubai chocolate too, right?
205
Can you stop?
206
Guess what I heard from a little birdie that they have at the Mad Happy location.
207
What?
208
They have banana bread matcha.
209
Like, banana flavor.
210
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
211
Because I love bananas.
212
Let's go.
213
A lot of my viewers don't know I eat a banana every single day.
214
Yes.
215
Get that shit off.
216
What?
217
No. What?
218
I was gonna keep it.
219
Okay, so, guys, we're about to go to the Mad Happy little, like, matcha situation they got in there.
220
And I'm gonna wear my Community Goods badge so they know that I don't mess around.
221
And they know that I'm a serious matcha.
222
What do you want?
223
I might shit my pants.
224
I have to shit really bad.
225
Is that a symptom of matcha?
226
Matt, is that a matcha symptom?
227
Poopy?
228
Eight minutes.
229
Eight minutes.
230
Are you fucking kidding me?
231
A quarter's worth eight minutes.
232
I could take a shit in eight minutes.
233
Like, what?
234
That's like nothing.
235
Do you know how much a quarter would feed a goat in a petting zoo?
236
And now we have 38 minutes of a dollar.
237
How is that your translation of money?
238
I don't know.
239
Eight minutes of my time could feed a friendly goat.
240
That's just messed up.
241
What?
242
Are you mad or are you happy?
243
No. My phone.
244
I just got robbed.
245
What happened?
246
Put on a citizen's alert.
247
Who took my phone?
248
Crazy man, Rob's phone at Mad Happy.
249
I need to take a photo of the menu so that I can tell it.
250
I'm like, we're done!
251
Can I get a picture with you? Of course!
252
I was gonna say hi to you, Nick.
253
Hi, vlog!
254
Hi!
255
Hi!
256
Hello.
257
Let's do it.
258
Guys, we just met so many lovely supporters in Mad Happy, and we got our drinks.
259
We have to do this right here.
260
Yeah!
261
Well, a lady, like, in the store is looking at us us.
262
Nick.
263
Come on, Nick.
264
Come on.
265
Someone dropped a phone case right there.
266
What the heck?
267
I still have to look because I don't trust Nick to cross the street.
268
That's some really good.
269
Is that also a sticker?
270
Oh, my freaking word.
271
Hold on, Nick.
272
Can you get that sticker off of that one?
273
First drink that I ordered that we're trying is the Coconut Watermelon Matcha by Devin Lee Carlson and Sydney Carlson.
274
If you do not know, they are also the owners and founders of Wildflower, who I did my collab case with.
275
So, go shop that case once again. So cute.
276
But apparently they have a collab drink that we didn't even know about when we headed over to the Mad Happy Pantry.
277
And what a pleasant surprise.
278
We're going to try their coconut watermelon matcha.
279
Also, no shade to begin with, but once again, we're not big matcha fans.
280
If we don't like their collab drink, but you're a matcha fan, you should still go try it.
281
All right, let's go.
282
Which one's which?
283
Yo, this is the banana one gotta be first of all
284
put it down we're trying this one first okay this is
285
the what coconut watermelon yeah mix it up mix it up

290
like no bias shit like that's the best one i had today i agree 100 it's really weird how different
291
and i'm i'm not a matcha fan once again
292
but it's confusing to me how different every single one tastes like this one's actually i'm Not even kidding, like delicious.
293
I love watermelon.
294
I think I like that one the most because it's the one that tastes the least like matcha and more like watermelon.
295
I like it.
296
I truly think this is perfect.
297
It's kind of got like a little must to it at the end.
298
What is this one?
299

300

367
You guys should just start fighting.
368
Start kissing each other.
369
Go, Chris.
370
Down your neck.
371
Chris, stop.
372
Basically, this has some purple or pinkish tint to the green.
373
It was inspired, I believe, by strawberry shortcake ice cream.
374
Oh, I don't believe I know.
375
I love the strawberry crumb on top.
376
Didn't even know that was a thing you could buy outside of the popsicle.
377
That bitch gas.
378
No, that's fire.
379
You don't like it?
380
Matt doesn't like it.
381
I like the strawberry crumb.
382
Doesn't like the matcha though?
383
I'm just not a matcha guy, but like, that's a great.
384
Matt, we thought you were going to be matcha Matt after this video.
385
I'm really upset that you're like not living up to the name.
386
You'll have to continue to be meatball Matt and live your daily life as meatball Matt.
387
That looks, I like the strawberry crema.
388
I'm gonna be serious.
389
And I know you guys knew I was, you thought I was joking yesterday when I was like, I'm gonna start doing this.
390
I'm still joking.
391
I'm definitely not gonna start going to coffee shops all the time and be a frequenter.
392
But like, if I go with some friends, like, I would order a matcha.
393
Like, I enjoyed my experience yesterday.
394
All right, do it at the house for a reading.
395
Guys, our car has a feature called, what is it called, Matt?
396
It's called Passenger Talk, and I'm using it to talk to Chris throughout all the speakers in the car.
397
Woo!
398
Hello.
399
Good evening, everyone.
400
All right, everyone.
401
Our matcha exploration throughout Los Angeles is complete.
402
We are going to rank them on a scale from one to six.
403
What was that?
404
What was that?
405
There's a scale right here.
406
Did I have six matchas?
407
The lemonade is in my one slot because I like the- We have to agree on this rating.
408
Oh, God.
409
Okay, rare, rare moment for me.
410
I think I'm going to go watermelon coconut.
411
Number one.
412
Number one.
413
I completely agree part of this ranking system i completely agree
414
with you my really close second tier is the ariana my
415
third tier is the banana split correct fourth tier this is
416
where we disagree is i would put the maple lavender over the lemonade no i wouldn't do
417
that but that's fine we are ranking matcha though
418
so we can just skip out on the lemon okay the lemonade can go here as like it's only one Lemonade here.
419
Honestly, like, bonus points for the lid here, I think it was out of Ariana's control, but this is the best, like, drinking sped.
420
Sped.
421
I meant spout.
422
I meant spout.
423
Maple lavender, regular matcha with vanilla syrup.
424
Okay, here's the matte switch.
425
I would switch the regular and the lavender.
426
Lavender's in the last, regular's in the five slot.
427
And I would switch coconut watermelon with the banana split.
428
Banana one, Ariana second.
429
Oh God.
430
Wow.
431
Notice how he said like this is the mat flip as if everyone was like waiting for it.
432
Yeah like this is the mat flip and they're like- Peace out guys.
433
The crowd goes wild for the mat flip.
434
Anyways, we weren't sure if we were gonna film um going to get another matcha today.
435
So we answered our question of the day yesterday cutting to that clip now.
436
And- I'M TOUCHING ME!
437
Actually.
438
You know, insane.
439
Anyway, it is time- it is time for the fan question of the week.
440

441
Shout out to Matt's Instagram.

Go ahead.
443
Tell him I'll follow you because all you care about is followers and clout and views and all that stuff.

About This Lesson
You're practicing English with "EXPLORING LA FOR THE BEST MATCHA" using the Shadowing technique — a method originally developed for professional interpreter training.
Focus on sounding like the speaker — not just repeating words. With 15–30 minutes of daily practice, you'll build real-world speaking confidence.
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.
