Hello.
350
My name's Cole Kerrigan.
351
I'm a sailor, and I love regenerative health and training.
352
I kind of just pass around to the whole family.
353
Look at it!
354
Because she's a love bug.
355
Does your dog model?
356
Because it's locked into this camera right now.
357
It models a little bit.
358
Sometimes it models with me.
359
Damn, so you're a model?
360
A little bit, on the side.
361
Alright, valid, valid.
362
He lives on a boat.
363

364
Cole lives on a boat.
365
You live on a boat?
366
I do.
367
Oh my god, wait, that's so cool.
368
Last time I was on a boat though, I got vertigo.

If I ever drove you, I would never give you vertigo, that's for sure.
370
Oh, thanks.
371
Appreciate that.
372
Wow, that's a lot of confidence you have there.
373
That's Sunday's type somebody who's not kind and bubbly like yeah
374
and you don't like like nonchalant yeah you don't yeah
375
so i have a bunch of friends who also live on their boats
376
and we just party all day it's pretty fun that's cool that's fun not exactly like a party person
377
but i'm super open
378
so i'm not like gonna try to push anything onto you
379
specifically he's too nonchalant he seems like a really nice guy
380
but i feel like he needs somebody to like take him
381
out of his shell I think Sunday prefers somebody who's already a little bit more out of their shell.
382
Yeah.
383
What are your interests?
384
Really into regenerative health and training right now.
385
Alongside the boat life.
386
Like, I'm just really busy.
387
Look at her, she's zoning out.
388
Yeah, I know.
389
Oh.
390
That was kind of awkward, I don't know.
391
Sunday needs somebody who's just able to get a little bit higher energy just because she's not a very high energy person.
392
was a little surprising.
393
She was definitely feeling my energy.
394
She would have definitely picked me if it wasn't up to the sister's decision.
395
Put your elbows up on the chair.
396
It makes you look like you're more engaged.
397
No. No, that was so...
398
No, like more chill.
399
Okay, okay.
400

592
you are so we're at the end are you ready to go on your sister
593

594
Guitar player Isaac.
595
He could play a mean guitar.
596
And he sounded nice too.
597
He has a very nice voice.
598
He knew he could sing, he knew he could play the guitar and he just fucking went out there.
599
I think he was great at it for sure.
600
Yeah, he's great at it.
601
I really liked how Isaac was confident enough to just come up here
602
and freestyle it because knowing that it was going to get put on the spot is like really nerve -wracking.
603
The humor was there.
604
And I think also that you guys were kind of talking off of one another
605
which was a big thing for us yeah shiro i love a smiley guy me too
606
and i felt like you were the most talkative with him you for sure felt like more comfortable
607
and like opened up more than the other guys and i think
608
that was actually what we were going off of the whole
609
time was like how is she opening up okay body language
610
that was that was cool one animal in one hand
611
and you were that yeah he said both yes and that would have been my priorities i would Exactly.
612
Demetra.
613
I love Tommy.
614
Me too, he's so sweet.
615
I like that he was like super like, intensive with us.
616
Quinton, I like that he did boxing because Demetra likes a fighter.
617
He was really nice, and I think we had very good like, the Brits would say banter.
618
You mean chemistry, bro?
619
No, banter.
620
Like when you're talking to one another.
621
So we mean conversation.
622
Do you guys not know British people?
623
I don't know British slang, my bad.
624
Alright, who are you going to choose for Sunday?
625
Are you guys ready to meet your date?
626
Yeah, let's go.
627
Why'd you all choose me?
628
We thought you fit Demetra the best, and you fit us the best, too.
629
I did.
630
I did that one.
631
You made Sunday the most comfortable to talk to.
632
Like, I think all the other guys, she couldn't carry a combo.
633
But with you, like, she was actually, like, talking back and forth.
634
She said, I carried a combo, okay?
635
She was good to me.
636
Yeah, she was talking.
637
Yeah, it's like she opened up the most with you.
638
And I think that's something that's very, like, really lets us know what she was doing or not.
639
Yeah, I agree.
640
Have fun on your day, you guys.
641

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.
