1
These are probably dirtier than regular dollars.
2
They're probably recycled and they've been thrown on naked women that probably have diseases.
3
I don't know what's been up.
4
The last time I went grocery shopping, I don't even want to tell you.
5
I think it's been four months.
6
Hey guys, Sarah Safari here.
7
Oh my God, I'm in a crazy, crazy mood.
8
Go Cater!
9
Go stupid!
10
Hey guys, what's up?
11
Sarah Safari here.
12
I'm at In-N-Out today.
13
I'm going to show you guys what I get.
14
I was scared to go inside and film inside, so I'm sitting in the long drive-through line.
15
Yippee!
16
This line's not moving, so this is not very promising already.
17
Oh, what do I have here, you might ask?
18
$20 water from Air One.
19
That was $3 right there.
20
I would be here with friends if I had any.
21
I had another video that was supposed to go live today, but we had to scrap it.
22
Maybe I'll post it in the future.
23
Maybe I won't.
24
I look a little rough today.
25
I mean, I look rough every day.
26
People are getting out of line because they're like, fuck this.
27
That's about to be me, but I'm hungry.
28
Oops.
29
Sorry.
30
Lo siento.
31
But if I had a friend here, I could talk to someone else.
32
But now it's just me and you guys all alone.
33
But it's okay.
34
It's good to go and get food alone because it shows that you're comfortable or whatever they say.
35
It shows that you can be independent, do things on your own.
36
That's what we're doing here.
37
Independence.
38
And now it's the best place to get food because it has all the qualities that I look for.
39
It's relatively cheap.
40
It's usually quick.
41
It's consistent.
42
It's reliable.
43
It's perfect.
44
You know, In-N-Out needs to sponsor me.
45
I'm their biggest fan.
46
All I eat is burgers.
47
And then another thing that needs to, this is the best gum ever.
48
They need to sponsor me.
49
Bro, are they cutting me?
50
Dude, this is bullshit.
51
There's people cutting me.
52
I guess there's two lines and now they're merging, but I didn't know that.
53
Don't.
54
No, it's my turn.
55
It's my turn.
56
I'm just an idiot.
57
I should have went in the other line
58
but I was busy trying to set up this camera thing
59
did I work out today actually I'll tell you this I went to the gym this morning workout was
60
so chalked I did two or three sets of one exercise
61
and then I was like I can't do this I feel like
62
if I have something on my mind then I can't work out properly
63
and I had something on my mind and I didn't work out properly bro
64
if this motherfucker tries to cut me we going crazy I don't give a
65
if you got a handicap sign in your car I'm gonna
66
give you a reason to get another one Jesus Christ I shouldn't say that but I did Oh, I want to record my order so you guys know what to get.
67
Oh, it's gonna be awkward though.
68
Why did my car just turn off?
69
Do I still have electricity?
70
Wait, he's gonna see the camera.
71
What do I do?
72
Maybe I should put it down.
73
Okay, I'm gonna put you right here Oh my god, he's for sure gonna see the camera.
74
Are you sure?
75
Yes.
76
Hi, how are you?
77
I'm vlogging.
78
Do you want to say hi?
79
Hi guys.
80
Um, can I please get a 4x0 with raw onion light spread, please add pickles, please and a large Diet Coke I'm vlogging.
81
Do you want to say hi?
82
Yo, what's up?
83
You guys gotta pull up to In-N-Out and Safari says so, okay?
84
Yes, I said so.
85
Nice to meet you.
86
Keep it up.
87
Aw, thank you.
88
You're so sweet.
89
Oh my god, they were so nice.
90
He definitely took my order before the lady that cut me, so that was a win.
91
Okay, yeah, so that's my order, okay?
92
That's the most anabolic thing you can get.
93
Four pieces of meat.
94
Pause.
95
Let me tell you guys how many calories it is.
96
Wait, macro-friendly.
97
It says a 4x0 is 400 calories.
98
This probably is not true.
99
And 40 grams of protein?
100
What are we talking about?
101
Are you sure?
102
Let's just say it's 500 calories.
103
That's anabolic for lunch.
104
And that'll fill you up.
105
Four pieces of meat is a lot of meat.
106
I mean, I would prefer to go four by four, but I gotta stay away from like the fat, you know, the fat and the cheese.
107
If you get protein style, oh my god, if you get protein style at In-N-Out, you're a fucking bitch.
108
Sorry, but you are.
109
Sorry.
110
No, I'm a- I'm a stick to that.
111
I'm a stick to- it's true.
112
Like, lettuce?
113
Really?
114
Buddy, just lay off the fries.
115
Okay, get the regular burger.
116
What are you doing?
117
What are you doing getting a lettuce wrap?
118
What are you, a fucking rabbit?
119
Ugh, I'm getting so angry.
120
I'm always angry.
121
I'm also never relaxed.
122
I have problems.
123
I have an issue.
124
I think I need to cut my hair.
125
I think it's getting too long again.
126
It's getting like an awkward length Do I cut it guys?
127
Can you let me know in the comments
128
because I kind of got dragged last time I cut my hair I don't know.
129
Do I trust you guys the lighting here at least is good I don't know if you guys know this.
130
I got in a car accident Like why are the windshield wipers going right now?
131
Um, I got in a car accident in this tesla
132
when I was gonna go film with david laid almost exactly a year ago A girl hit me from behind Pause.
133
No, she did.
134
She rear-ended me hard hard emphasis on hard.
135
I was like, please, please, please let it be totaled.
136
Please let it be totaled.
137
Nope, they fixed it and gave it back to me seven months later.
138
Like, what are we talking about?
139
This car and I belong together.
140
Oh, Sarah, how are you gonna pay for In-N-Out?
141
You might ask.
142
Oh, with all of these ones?
143
Oh, Sarah, why do you have all of these ones?
144
What did you do last night?
145
Yes, exactly what you're thinking, that's what happened.
146
Not exactly what you're thinking.
147
I didn't partake in the da-da, but did I go?
148
Yes, was it torture?
149
Yes, but I'm honest with you guys.
150
Oh my god.
151
These dollars are probably so dirty These are probably dirtier than regular dollars.
152
They're probably recycled and they've been thrown on naked women
153
that probably have diseases I shouldn't assume that but I am i'm gonna assume it.
154
What can I say?
155
I'm a piece of shit Hopefully you guys like this solo vlog.
156
I'm in a silly goofy mood if you can't tell this might be 30 bucks
157

I don't know why it doesn't look like amazing, but it tastes amazing one bite everyone knows the rules
178
oh my god it just hits every time let me tell
179

190
so what i can eat raw onions by themselves i don't
191

I just want to say this again.
200
If you get lettuce wrap, you're a bitch.

202
Sorry, Trevor Wallace.
203
Diet Coke to wash it all down.
204
Last few bites and I'm already sad.
205
It's almost done.

207
Goodbye, friend.
208
You tasted really good and I love you.
209
Don't worry, guys.
210
I'm going to go work out again tonight.
211
Big day.
212
Last bite, straight meat.
213
Oh, it's too much meat.
214
I can't swallow.
215
Okay guys.
216
So the point of this video was not for me to eat
217
And now I don't know why I did that I turned manic.
218
That wasn't me.
219
I'm kind of glowing right now though The other night it was a week ago.
220
It was the night of my birthday Actually, like it was 2 a.m.
221
I had just turned my birthday.
222
Um, I was driving home zoom zoom zoom zoom I was driving home.
223
We had gone out.
224
Okay.
225
I was going 105.
226
I don't know how it happened One thing led to another I hit 105.
227
No one was on the road.
228
Can I admit this on the internet?
229
I'm doing it zoom zoom zoom zoom zoom.
230
I see a car behind me.
231
I'm like, oh my god Someone's trying to race me how funny like who else is out right now 2 a.m
232
And then like he got really close to me and I was like, what's the heck like get over buddy?
233
Let's race.
234
He turned his lights on.
235
He did not want to race me.
236
It was an officer.
237
It was a cop Okay, and I was like Please please please like there's no way I can get out of this ticket.
238
Like I'm so screwed He might take me to jail.
239
I was like gonna pull over on the freeway and then he's like it's so embarrassing Okay, first of all my pride gone He's like on the speaker of his car.
240
Do not pull over here.
241
Take the exit.
242
And I was like, oh my God, now I feel like an idiot.
243
So I pulled over, exited.
244
Cop comes around.
245
I was like, hello.
246
Like, I'm so sorry.
247
I don't know why.
248
I don't know how I was going that fast.
249
He was like, do you know how fast you were going?
250
I was like, yeah, I mean, I know.
251
It says it right there on my screen.
252
I know how fast I was going.
253
And then he was like, ID, registration, aw.
254
And it was my birthday and my ID expired that day.
255
And he was like, expired ID.
256
And I was like, no, not really.
257
Like, it's my birthday.
258
Let me off.
259
And then he was like, gonna have to do a test on you to see if you're drunk.
260
I was like, officer, one thing about me, I'm sober.
261
Been sober for years.
262
He He didn't give a fuck.
263
He was like, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, my eyes.
264
And I was like, oh my God, I feel like I'm not following his finger.
265
I might, what if I'm drunk?
266
I mean, I haven't consumed alcohol in four years, but he had me paranoid.
267
He goes back to his car, comes back.
268
He was honestly, thank God for this guy, okay?
269
Because I was like tired.
270
I needed that little adrenaline rush to like wake me up.
271
And he was like, I wrote you a ticket for going 75.
272
In a 65.
273
What a good guy.
274
He could have, I think I'm going over hundreds of felony.
275
I'm a criminal.
276
I'm a bad girl.
277
75 and a 65 that's all he wrote
278
and he told me happy birthday a win is a win
279
my toxic trait has always been thinking i could talk myself out of tickets
280
but i knew i knew there was no way i was talking myself out of
281
that one like 105 is criminal like it actually is criminal like i think
282
if i was going 75 80
283
and he pulled me over he wouldn't have written me a ticket
284
but i was going i was going 40 miles above the
285
speed limit what can i say i'm a rebel i'm a little crazy but you know what's funny is, oh my god, I'm glowing.
286
What's funny is last week, on Friday actually, exactly a week ago, I did turn 25, and I literally thought at 25, well I didn't think I would, you know, be doing content first of all,
287
but at 25, I definitely thought I'd be married, like maybe pregnant with my first child.
288
That's what I thought would be the game plan for being 25 years old, but it's not, it wasn't, it's not, I'm not, I'm 25, single, no children, which is a good thing.
289
Single and no children is a good thing for me.
290
I'd rather be single and no children than single with children.
291
A win is a win.
292
So then on my birthday, my family was telling me like, oh, did you think like this is what you'd be at at 25?
293
I was like, no, I thought I'd be like married, maybe a child on the way.
294
And they're like, well, manifest that.
295
Like want that for next year.
296
I was like, now I don't know if I want that for next year, but like hopefully in a few years, you know, they were like, you manifested like doing content and like, oh, you can manifest anything.
297
I was like, that is true.
298
Dude, I remember, I remember when I was like 21 in college, like I would text in my family group chat before I ever started doing content, I'd text my family group chat.
299
I'd be like, I want to be famous.
300
I don't want to be in school.
301
I want to be famous.
302
I want to make money.
303
Like, like I would text that in the family group chat.
304
I would tell my friends.
305
I would, I remember I wished for that on my birthday when I was turning 21.
306
It was insane.
307
It sounds so cringy.
308
I don't even know if we should put this part in, but it's the truth.
309
Like I really think I manifested that whatever the that means.
310
I don't know what it means exactly, but maybe manifestation is real.
311
Not saying I'm famous now in any sense.
312
Definitely.
313
I got a few more followers than when I did when I was 21.
314
Whatever that's worth.
315
I really, really enjoy these solo vlogs, but sometimes I feel like I'm not funny enough.
316
Well, I know.
317
I know I'm funny.
318
But when the camera turns on, like I feel like I'm funny when there's someone else because I can feed off energy and vibes.
319
When I'm alone, do I think I'm funny?
320
No. Do I think I'm entertaining?
321
Not really at all.
322
I enjoy solo vlogging more than anything else.
323
Like I love this.
324
I'm obsessed with this.
325
I would do this every day, but I just I get the fks with me because i'm like, oh You guys probably won't like it
326
So I need to know i'm gonna need you guys to be honest
327
and give me some feedback in the comments Please on what you want to see
328
or what you don't want to see
329
because i'm kind of like I was thinking about this I love collaborating
330
and I do happen to collaborate with a lot of men.
331
Okay, god forbid and I love it It's great, but I think i'm gonna like start like the dating shit I'm, just gonna lean off the dating stuff
332
but i'm still gonna like collaborate with guys
333
but like more in a wholesome sense of like two people
334
just hanging out me i gotta like i gotta chill back
335
with the flirting that's just my personal nature where i flirt with like anything and everything
336
and then all of a sudden it's like she's passed around
337
it's like actually like no i'm not i'm not shut the up
338
but besides that this is the clip culture the clips make it seem like i'm not who i am
339
and that started to me mentally a little bit
340
so i think i do need to like lean off the dating content still gonna collaborate with guys, but maybe just, maybe just not compulsively flirt.
341
It's funny though, guys can like collaborate with like a bunch of women
342
and like flirt and like the guy's not deemed any other way than, oh it's just content, he's funny as f- uh uh uh, he pulls.
343
But I do it, it's like, oh she a hoe.
344
I'm not a hoe.
345
Do I sometimes just like, flirt a little too much?
346
Yeah, probably.
347
Probably I do.
348
So I think I'm gonna do the solo stuff.
349
If you guys like the solo stuff, so let me know how you feel about it, because I love this.
350
This is so intimate.
351
This is more intimate than forehead kisses.
352
What are you talking about, man?
353
Like, what we're doing right now?
354
You watching me, me talking to you?
355
Or is it awkward and I'm shy?
356
Am I not talking enough?
357
I don't know.
358
Oh my god, I love this, though.
359
I genuinely love this.
360
Like, I understand why Sam Soleil vlogs every day
361
and posts every day solo stuff
362
because this is amazing i just get shy i'm gonna get over
363
that hunch you gotta keep growing maybe at the age of 26
364
because straight up another thing about the content shift i'm not gonna lie i
365
and i don't care
366
but then i just like i just it's about the bigger
367
scheme of things okay i think i get on more than
368
any other women okay maybe not cindy sweeney she gets she gets on a lot
369
but i i mean like influencer wise content creating women there's a normal amount of hate
370
that everyone should get i agree with
371
that like right here i think i get like right here
372
but i also got a lot of love
373
so maybe it comes back down to here i don't really
374
know not youtube that's why don't tell anyone that's why you guys are my favorite platform
375
because you guys aren't really soft the youtube comments are the best
376
because you guys have probably watched the entire video
377
so you know it's jokes and you guys don't i was gonna use a different word
378
but i'm not going to you guys don't freaking destroy me
379
in the comments okay like tick tock you see 10 15
380
seconds bam all hate youtube with you see what i'm saying
381
doesn't even make sense it makes sense in my head Oh my god, I'm in a crazy crazy mood I just want to do jumping jacks.
382
No, I don't I want to lay in bed.
383
What are we talking about?
384
I'm not gonna lie to the people.
385
Did I talk for too much?
386
Did I talk for not enough?
387
Am I self-conscious?
388
Am I being a bitch?
389
Probably probably all of the above.
390
Should we phone a friend?
391
Who do you think would pick up my call if I called them right now?
392
I'm also extremely extremely sad that I'm not going to UFC this weekend.
393
I'm gonna be in Ohio
394
So stay tuned next week's vlogs are gonna be ohio vlogs
395
the arnold we're going crazy in ohio said no one ever We're not doing shit.
396
There's nothing to do in ohio, but i'll be there.
397
I'm gonna turn that state upside down Okay, i'm actually going manic look at what my mom bought me
398
second of all she bought me this ring It's like the most gorgeous ring.
399
Oh, there we go.
400
It focused It was so thoughtful
401
because this ring it it's actually the most painful ring to ever wear I'm don't love it for that reason
402
but we went into like the tiffany store
403
and like i tried this ring on like months ago
404
and i was like oh my god it's so pretty
405
and i just said that without thinking like i didn't think my mom would go
406
and buy it for me i like regretted ever saying it was pretty
407
but she bought it for me for my birthday
408
and i freaking love it i love it now i have my the ring
409
that my mom bought me
410
and i have my uh the ring i proposed to myself with
411
that sounds so cringy i'm kidding i didn't propose to myself
412
but i was like yo i don't see a rock in my future anytime soon let me buy myself one
413
because I love it.
414
I thought it was...
415
Let me put on my pinky.
416
Okay guys, I think that's it.
417
I have nothing else to say and the sun's going down.

Why Practice Speaking with This Video?
Want to learn English with videos that feel like real life? This casual, unscripted chat is perfect for shadowing technique practice! The speaker’s relaxed tone and everyday situations—like waiting in a drive-through or venting about loneliness—mirror how people talk in real life. Shadowing (or shadowspeaks) with this video helps you master natural rhythm, slang, and emotional expression. Plus, it’s a great way to build confidence in speaking alone, just like the speaker does! Whether you’re a beginner or polishing your skills, this dialogue makes shadow speech feel less like practice and more like a chat with a friend.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
Let’s break down 3 key phrases to boost your conversational skills:
- “I would be here with friends if I had any.” This mixed conditional shows a hypothetical situation (having friends) and its result (not being alone). It’s perfect for talking about wishes or regrets.
- “That’s about to be me, but I’m hungry.” “About to be” is a casual way to say something will happen soon. Use it to show immediate plans or reactions, like “I’m about to leave—want to join?”
- “All I eat is burgers.” This structure emphasizes a single thing (burgers) as the main focus. Try it with “All I do is work” or “All she talks about is her cat” to add emphasis.
Common Pronunciation Traps
Watch out for these tricky sounds in the video! The speaker often shortens words, like “prob’ly” (probably) and “’cause” (because)—a common feature of casual speech. Notice how “Lo siento” (Spanish for “sorry”) is pronounced with a light accent, which is normal when mixing languages in real life. Also, “bullshit” is a slang term (use carefully!) with a quick “sh” sound—practice saying it smoothly to avoid stumbling. A shadowing site can help you replay these parts until you nail the rhythm. Remember, the goal isn’t perfection—it’s sounding natural!
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.
