What?
2
Oh yeah, all dressed.
3
This is exciting.
4
I've been explaining these to Margo Robbie.
5
Oh really?
6
Who loves snacks and doesn't seem to be totally baffled by the idea of an all dressed chip.
7
I don't get it either.
8
But it does exist.
9
Hi, I'm Ryan Gosling and this is Snack Wars for Lab Bible.
10
Is that right?
11
Nailed it.
12
That's poutine.
13
Yeah.
14
No idea what that is.
15
So that's a pork pie.
16
Whoa.
17
Have you had this before?
18
Yeah.
19
This is, um, there's gotta be a better way to bite this.
20
I don't want to create a gift factory here.
21
Oh yeah, I mean.
22
You a fan of poutine?
23
Yes.
24
So am I pronouncing it well?
25
You are.
26
I don't like that its name is Putsin.
27
I wish it were not Putsin.
28
Americans say Poutine.
29
What are you saying?
30
You're saying...
31
I just said...
32
I'm sorry.
33
Poutine?
34
Oh, you don't need to apologize.
35
I said Poutine.
36
It is that, unfortunately.
37
This is...
38
Wow.
39
Okay, well just texturally, I'm gonna...
40
Already we're having a problem.
41
Feel free to put some mustard on as well.
42
Okay.
43
But then are we judging the thing or are we judging sauces?
44
Does it need mustard?
45
So it's like a meal, like mustard and pork bite together.
46
Excuse me.
47
Okay.
48
Is there like a jelly in here?
49
Is that a meat jelly?
50
Yeah, yeah.
51
Oh.
52
That does not sound good.
53
Yeah.
54
I mean, gravy's like a metaphor for things going good, right?
55
It's all gravy.
56
Yeah.
57
Meat jelly is not.
58
Meat jelly is like something someone calls you in junior high and you never let it down.
59
I'm gonna go put in.
60
Some people love them, some people hate them.
61
But I love them.
62
You love them.
63
I love them.
64
And in what situation are you eating that?
65
Just straight in.
66
I would literally eat that.
67
You would house that right now?
68
Yeah.
69
She did.
70
Wow.
71
The Nymo bars.
72
Yeah.
73
And tea cakes.
74
Where's the tea?
75
This is not a controlled experiment.
76
How can I make...
77
Is it supposed to go with tea?
78
Is that part of its charm?
79
I mean, it seems like it's pretty vital.
80
The tea cake is just a cake.
81
Oh, I'm liking that part of it.
82
This is fun. That was very satisfying.
83
This has my name on it.
84
Yeah.
85
Aww.
86
Mm-hmm.
87
Yeah, that's classic.
88
That's a Canadian classic.
89
This...
90
This is fun.
91
Wow.
92
I'm gonna go with this.
93
There's more options.
94
Yeah.
95
You can destroy it.
96
Yeah.
97
And then enjoy it.
98
That's this new tagline.
99
But you know, I feel like there's more ways to enjoy that.
100
You can, I bet you, do you have a strategy when you eat this?
101
Does everyone do it differently?
102
Is it kind of like...
103
I've not seen that before.
104
You've never seen that?
105
It's a unicorn fruit.
106
Oh no. How's that pork pie?
107
It's actually still going on.
108
Still going on.
109
I heard that, I saw it.
110
This is...
111
There's no need for that.
112
Still do it?
113
What?
114
Oh yeah, all dressed.
115
This is exciting.
116
Been explaining these to Margot Robbie.
117
Oh really?
118
Who loves snacks and doesn't seem to be totally baffled by the idea of an all dressed chip.
119
I don't get it either.
120
But it does exist.
121
What does all dressed mean?
122
It doesn't, it's all of that.
123
It's everything.
124
Look at that.
125
And this is a monster munch.
126
Okay.
127
What are those?
128
What's the shape?
129
It's a big foot.
130
Like a monster foot.
131
Monster foot.
132
Oh yeah, it's got like Funyun vibe.
133
It's like a Funyun with less fun.
134
The shape is good though.
135
It's fun.
136
Because it's, yeah, that part's fun.
137
Okay.
138
It's been a while since then.
139
I shouldn't have done that first.
140
It kind of destroyed my taste buds.
141
Yeah.
142
I can't taste anything.
143
There's something about this Monster Munch that's...
144
I want to explore more.
145
Okay.
146
Yeah.
147
Do you want another one?
148
No. Okay.
149
Not right now.
150
But I mean, I would revisit the Monster Munch.
151
Okay.
152
Maybe the Monster Munch.
153
It's more exciting right now.
154
I don't recognize any of these. So that's a Freddon?
155
Yeah.
156
So that's like dairy milk.
157
We have them as kids.
158
And then Turtle Bites, they're...
159
Oh, yeah.
160
Okay.
161
Turtles.
162
Sure.
163
I got it.
164
Okay.
165
Yeah.
166
Here we go.
167
Sorry, you got two of the, that's okay.
168
Hey.
169
Oh, sorry.
170
No, you can have it.
171
It's all right.
172
Aw.
173
Yeah.
174
It's gonna take a minute.
175
It's too big a bite.
176
You have great chocolate here.
177
That was delightful.
178
Okay.
179
Again, there's just so much more going on with that one.
180
Did you have the- This one didn't have a face.
181
This is what I mean.
182
This is just- It's nothing turtle-ish, but there's no turtle involved.
183
No turtles were harmed in the making of that.
184
But yes, a frog was.
185
That frog really.
186
Yeah.
187
I'm gonna go turtle.
188
Oh yeah.
189
What's that?
190
A Greg's sausage roll.
191
Yeah.
192
So that's a British bakery, Greg's, that everyone loves.
193
This?
194
Mm-hmm. So every high street.
195
And then the other one, I think you can...
196
maple syrup and pancakes.
197
Yeah. And a little bit.
198
A little bit.
199
I feel like I'm on the great British Bake Off.
200
Whoa.
201
Is that sausage?
202
Wow.
203
It's just like a fancy hot dog.
204
It's like a hot dog in a tuxedo.
205
You guys are just, I see what you're doing.
206
You're just classing up the joint.
207
Excuse me.
208
Okay.
209
Okay.
210
It's got pork pie vibes.
211
I mean, look at this.
212
It's just texturally, this has so much more going on for it now.
213
No?
214
Are you going sausage roll?
215
I would also eat that.
216
What, this?
217
But what about that?
218
I'd also eat, yeah.
219
It's obviously, I mean, it's a landslide.
220
For this game, Canada won.
221
Okay.
222
The Canadian in me won't allow me to gloat about it.
223
So this is my very Canadian reaction.
224
Oh, that's nice.
225
Aw.
226
Thank you, guys.
227
Cheers.
228
Everybody won though, right?
229

230
The Queen won.
231
Okay.
232
Ugh, that's awful.
233
That is so bad.
234
Ugh.
235

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.
