Creating lesson...
1
more gummy yummy or gummy yum eggs wait there's not an eye there i was certainly calling it gummy yummy every single time last time that was not a joke i thought that's what it was called this time It's animal edition, not transformers.
2
And we're looking for gold lion.
3
We have a whole case plus one.
4
I don't really know how many that actually is, but it's a good chunk.
5
Oh, what the?
6
There's flavor names on here.
7
What the hell?
8
Tangy, tastic orange, lemon, zesty lime time, super sour apple power.
9
Why are they such long names?
10
Gobsmacking gummy grape.
11
What the hell?
12
This is the worst flavor though.
13
I think it's the green is the the pearly gates that opens the egg so I don't have to peel every damn layer.
14
My fingers will get covered in sugar.
15
I'm not gonna clean them off.
16
Some people are like it was so weird that you left your fingers all sugary.
17
Bro I'm opening 15 eggs dude.
18
I'm not gonna clean my hands between each time.
19
So this is some sort of cat.
20
A savannah cat maybe.
21
I don't really know what type of little cat this is.
22
We got fish bones and this is our guide to the safari.
23
What can we get?
24
Oh, I forgot last time we got this bug, this little fly that's supposed to be with the water buffalo.
25
It was just in the Transformer ones accidentally.
26
So as you might have noticed, this set is much bigger, like two or three times bigger than the Transformer set.
27
And that sucker right there is what we want.
28
The gold lion.
29
I want it because it's gold.
30
It doesn't actually look that great in real life.
31
I've seen pictures of it and it's not even worth that much.
32
I think it's like maybe 15 bucks or something.
33
I could be wrong on that.
34
I'll throw the value up either way, but what would I actually want?
35
The bearded dragon for sure.
36
Huge bearded dragon fan.
37
Crocodile with little crocodiles, kind of sweet.
38
Monkey, banana, platypus, and butterfly.
39
Yeah, there's some, there's some fairly good ones in here.
40
Man, it's actually pretty good.
41
I forgot, I started hating them by the end of the last time because I ate so much, but it's been long enough.
42
Probably freaking good.
43
I thought it was actually like safari themed, but it can't be because like, you know, a traditional safari is Africa and we were seeing a bearded dragon, which for those of you that don't know beard dragons are native to uh australia so that don't make no sense hey this i think is the platypus is there two colors of him though because no way they made him shiny pokemon poo green like freaking taros but yeah no he is just didn't notice they are not that color it is kind of odd they did that were seemingly all the other ones are accurately colored bombastic raspberry blast doing something to me yuck yuck gross aftertaste though i didn't think that Bombastic was used in any setting besides piggy cheese, but kind of coined that for himself, I thought.
44
I just want to try, I think, maybe all the flavors one more time again.
45
Sorry.
46
Oh, yeah, I think I can also just muscle it Yeah, huh?
47
Is this a hyena?
48
Yes Why is there so many pieces to this one just so it can curve its neck a little?
49
Oh, I guess this is for the different colors This is actually might not be hyena.
50
This might be a what they called like a spotted wild a dog or something That I freakin shit man.
51
Let me eat orange tangy sunrise Yeah, yeah, orange is one of those flavors that you can almost always trust It's hardly ever the best flavor of something, but it's never the worst Ant eater wait.
52
Oh my hell.
53
I haven't been opening their little accessory bags We got a animal's leg with the hyena raises desk up a little huh?
54
Whoa, whoa Shit, I might have thrown oh, um, yeah, I don't know and then oh, yeah This is definitely an anteater because he got an ant with him pretty damn good looking ain't almost as good as this You ain't a real one unless you got the hyper realistic ant collection.
55
Okay, what is is that just to save space?
56
Or is there something that's supposed to go up there?
57
Also, I missed the tail for the dog.
58
You know I think that there would be like a tongue for him.
59
Oh, yeah, there it is.
60
Okay.
61
Yes This is his jaw his lower jaw.
62
You guys see they're making like a new jaws movie.
63
Basically.
64
It's like a scary shark movie kind of crazy We're still getting those.
65
It's not Meg.
66
It's something else.
67
There's not anything that's as creative as that I suppose I guess they did try to do that game movie.
68
I don't think anybody went though Are you shitting me really?
69
Okay, I guess maybe I should have them know mentality man.
70
Hopefully we got a male and a female here Yeah, we're good Two ants too.
71
Okay better than two lamb chops I'll admit it is a pretty aggravating to have this sugar on my hands and as the video goes on I just become like slightly sweaty and starts to I don't know reverse osmosis into my bloodstream Let's go bearded dragon.
72
This is what we came here for.
73
Well, this is this the second thing that we came here for That is very sweet though You could make an argument that that's not a bearded dragon actually and maybe it's a like a horned toad or something And he's got a dragonfly.
74
Hmm.
75
Okay.
76
Yeah, now I want gator because we got we got a Pepper may she rest in peace turtle?
77
Okay, that's still good.
78
Gosh.
79
What is this freaking Lego connects?
80
What's what's the complicated ones man?
81
It's been so long since I've bought Lego.
82
Can't even remember the different Classifications of it.
83
It's kind of sad.
84
Oh, you know, it would be really fun being able to buy the Lego Pokemon sets But no, of course that shit's gonna be scalped into oblivion, too You just can't have fun in this in this day and age if you like Pokemon baby turtle hell Yeah, and you know what?
85
That's a tortoise.
86
I don't want any of you clowns Saying shit in the comments about me not knowing the difference Casual miss input.
87
That's all that was my pink spiked for one second Yeah, I hope they do another collab set monkey monkey monkey monkey yo Monkey this looks like what's the what's that monkey that was kind of going viral punch the one with the stuffed animal Pretty sure that was his name.

90
I hope he's not met in early grave.
91
And Bananas?
92
Oh, hell yeah.
93
Just two men.
94
Now he's gonna starve.
95
Just kidding.
96
That wasn't hard at all.
97
Just got...
98
Oh, we just gotta get a freaking third damn anteater.
99
Okay, so now what are we gonna do, huh?
100
If this was Pokemon Go, I could at least trade him in for some candy.
101
Evolve my other ones and I have a whole damn anthill back here Do we have a canon reason for why you get candy for transferring a Pokemon to Professor Oak?
102
I know like there's always the classic memes of him like putting them in like a Chipper and making candy out of them, but has Pokemon ever tried to explain that in another way?
103
Oh, you know what that sounds like to me?
104
That sounds like a gold freaking lion.
105
That sounds like a golden ticket to $15 Shit, okay gotta eat this cap now out.
106
That one's pretty good.
107
I like that one.
108
And I remember this one being kind of bad, this last one.
109
Yeah, it starts out fine.
110
It's just a weird aftertaste.
111
It's kind of a damn shame, too, because that's the piece that you get the most of.
112
Banangas?
113
All right, okay, let me sense this one.
114
Oh, man, there's still so many we don't have.
115
No elephant, none of that, none, none, nope, nope, yeah, we do actually have that one.
116
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Nope.
117
Yep.
118
We did have that one.
119
So we're with missing probably half if not more than half.
120
Shit.
121
We just keep getting doubles.
122
Maybe it's a sign that I need to get another bearded dragon.
123
That hole in my heart can be filled.
124
No, I don't believe that.
125
She was irreplaceable and this damn head won't go.
126
There we go.
127
Struggling with a toy meant for three and older.
128
Classic junkler.
129
Oh yeah.
130
You know, the target employees seeing me grab freaking 30 of these thought I had a little something extra going on.
131
Oh, let's go.
132
Vulture.
133
Vulture unlocked.
134
Bone?
135
Knew it.
136
Yeah, that's a pretty cool one.
137
That's pretty sick.
138
I also am kind of mad because they don't give us a rarity chart.
139
Maybe that's asking too much out of Zuru Gummy Yum, but like, oh my shit, they're already reproducing, man.
140
Like, I just want to know.
141
One in 30?
142
Just tell me.
143
It's not that hard to do that.
144
I mean, except for maybe if they say something and you can prove that they didn't actually do it at that rate, then they'd be like liable.
145
Is that true?
146
How would you even prove that?
147
Like you'd have to buy so many at such a scale.
148
Surely nobody would really care if they said, oh, it's one out of 30 and it was slightly off, right?
149
Or maybe that just makes it harder to like produce, but I mean, it should be rare anyway.
150
So it shouldn't just be randomly thrown in, right?
151
Oh, for no.
152
Okay, holy shit, Vulture 2.
153
You know the movie The Birds?
154
It would be a lot scarier if they showed birds attacking people that weren't just crows.
155
I mean, crows, they were scary enough, but like, imagine being attacked by vultures with six-foot wingspans, man.
156
Or a shoebill stork?
157
That thing could actually hurt you.
158
That could mess you up.
159
Monkey!
160
And that was, by the way, we have one more.
161
Pretty anti-climatic, you'd be getting monkey again already.
162
Dude, and just so you know, and actually maybe this is partially why this is happening.
163
I don't know if they do, you know, a set per case or whatever, but they were not all in a brand new case.
164
They were spread throughout the checkout lines, and I literally had to go to every checkout line and grab all of them to make this video happen.
165
So maybe that's why I'm getting boned.
166
If I had, like, ordered a box online or something, maybe that would be better.
167
Well, shit.
168
last gummy yum yo what the shit what the hell man it's disgusting why they look wet that was sealed you guys saw me unseal it right i ain't eating that and another damn lizard bro fact of the matter is i'm not gonna be mad about this one do you know why because we've been doing really freaking good in general on the channel so okay not worried about no that's that's sick that's sick and wrong me to do that okay come on we got this just had to want it i guess and if i'm gonna miss out on the little gold line then whatever right yeah i can i cannot care about that holy crap let's hit a freaking fat stack of these really quick for end of episode gambling hopefully i'll lose my sugar we have a number one right here yeah lose my sugar on these cards so when we get to our free run pack we uh don't have to worry about it so we want a one or 63 okay no matches.
169
Blue, blue, blue.
170
That Pyroraptor.
171
A six and a 70.
172
Don't.
173
Ah, shit.
174
I thought for one second.
175
Is that one?
176
It is, right?
177
Okay, so my question is, is there multiple different types of one cards?
178
Okay, this is just actually covered in sugar.
179
Now, that's actually probably the coolest sticker we've seen.
180
Theoretically, this goes here.
181
There is sugar under it.
182
Dang, yeah, that's actually kind of clean.
183
Oh my gosh.
184
You can see the sugar right there.
185
It's actually just textured purposefully.
186
Whoa.
187
We haven't seen that guy yet.
188
Our artriso raptor.
189
Wow.
190
That's a mouthful.
191
Right.
192
Uh, blue endoraptor endoraptor.
193
Oh, we did get one match today.
194
And then we have a 37 and eight nothing.
195
Uh, Oh my gosh.
196
Blue with baby blue, blue T-Rex ankylosaurus.
197
There's a ankylosaurus.
198
I think it's, it's more technically correct.
199
I think it worked.
200
Uh, I believe I'm 90% clean from sugar right now.
201
Ready to hit a gold signature.
202
End of episode gambling.
203
I think there's a new set of these coming out in summer for season two.
204
I will be grabbing some.
205
You can't stop me.
206
Little dragon action.
207
Some stack shoes.
208
Okay, so I think this next spot is where a double rare or something good would go.
209
Nothing.
210
Oh, no, that's just regular rare.
211
That is a cool one, though.
212
It might be half decent.
213
and nothing there.
214
Yeah, I think this is actually okay if I'm not mistaken.
215
This like character portrait style is one of the better types of rares.
216
I'll at least give it a penny sleeve.
217
Oh my hell, that penny sleeve has sugar on it.
218
Okay, anyway, thanks again.
219
Just a little quickie to keep you guys satiated.
220
Please subscribe.
221
Man, every day we near closer to 100K and then we will rejoice.
222
Okay, love you gamers, bye.
Why practice speaking with this video?
This video provides an engaging context for English learners to practice speaking through the lens of a playful unboxing experience. The speaker's informal and animated style makes it an excellent resource for using the shadowing technique. By mimicking the speaker's tone and inflections, you can enhance your fluency while having fun. Engaging with the narrative can also help to enrich your vocabulary and understanding of colloquial expressions. It’s perfect for IELTS speaking practice, allowing you to pickup conversational rhythms and structures that frequently appear in daily discussions.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
In this video, several key structures and expressions stand out that can benefit English learners:
- Descriptive Phrases: The speaker uses phrases like "Gobsmacking gummy grape" and "Tangy, tastic orange," which can teach you about playful and creative language use. Understanding how to use adjectives effectively can spice up your own speaking style.
- Casual Contractions: Phrases such as "What the?" and "I'm not gonna" illustrate casual speech patterns. This emphasizes the importance of learning contractions and informal language, which are prevalent in spoken English.
- Comparative Language: The speaker compares different gummy flavors, highlighting expressions like "kind of sweet" and "wasn't even worth that much." Using comparisons effectively can improve your descriptive language skills, making you a more compelling speaker.
Common Pronunciation Traps
Listening closely, you may notice some challenging words and phrases that could present pronunciation hurdles:
- Gobsmacking: This word is not only fun to say but can also be tricky due to its unique stress pattern. Make sure to practice the rhythm of the syllables to improve English pronunciation.
- Zesty: Pay attention to the 'z' sound; non-native speakers often struggle with this consonant. Repeating this word using the shadow speech technique—mirroring the speaker exactly—will help you get it right.
- Bombastic: This word not only poses a challenge in terms of pronunciation but also conveys a nuanced meaning. Practice saying it both slowly and quickly to find your comfortable pace.
By integrating the **shadowing technique** into your practice while watching this video, you can effectively address these pitfalls and refine your speaking abilities. Using interactive content like this, learners worldwide can significantly enhance their oral communication skills.
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.
