1
So, guys, what do you want to do today?
2
I don't know, dude.
3
I'm...
4
Nice to meet you.
5
I'm Junior.
6
Dude, I know you smell that.
7
It smells like pure dookie.
8
What are you talking about?
9
Oh, my God, you're right.
10
It smells like sweaty nuts.
11
Like the sweatiest buttcheeks, dude.
12
Oh, what is that?
13
I don't smell anything.
14
You don't smell that?
15
I know you smell that.
16
What, do you have COVID?
17
Oh, God, it's you, Cody.
18
Oh, yeah, you know what?
19
That's right.
20
Me and Ken went to the gym today.
21
We were pumping iron.
22
Actually, we were pumping a few other things, too.
23
What do you mean?
24
Oh, yeah, you know what?
25
That's right.
26
You don't smell your own B .O.?
27
I'm kind of used to this smell.
28
That rancid -ass smell?
29
Why wouldn't you take a bath after you leave the gym?
30
Oh, no, no, no, no. I'm only allowed to take one bath a night, and my mom has to do it, and I have to have my cheese and quackers with my rubber duckies.
31
It's a whole production.
32
You don't need a rubber ducky to take a bath.
33
You're 18 years old.
34
Oh, yes, I do.
35
I need Captain Seymour Quacks.
36
He cleans my butt quack.
37
Captain Seymour Quacks?
38
There's no way that damn duck is cleaning you, dude.
39
That's a toy.
40
He keeps a pretty clean ship.
41
What?
42
Not if you're walking in here smelling like ass.
43
Well, that's because he hasn't done it yet today.
44
He hasn't swabbed my poop deck yet.
45
Swabbed your poop deck.
46
Use actual soap.
47
Stop depending on a toy.
48
Well, no, I have soap.
49
I have bubbles in the bath.
50
I can make a little beard look like Santa Claus.
51
Dude, you're marinating in your own field.
52
No, no, no, no. I love it because I can go under the water and I can, like, find Atlantis.
53
You need to take a shower.
54
What?
55
No, shower.
56
How is a shower going to get me clean?
57
The water just bounces off me.
58
If you use soap in a damn towel and rub in circular motions, you can get the dirt off.
59
How is Seymour Quacks going to spelunk my bung if I'm standing up in a shower?
60
The damn - the duck is not gonna do it!
61
You are!
62
Use your damn hands!
63
I don't know, he seems to do all the work.
64
I mean, he goes down with the ship.
65
And that is why you smell like ass.
66
He goes down on the ship.
67
He goes down on me.
68
Oh, Cody, listen!
69
What?
70
Uh, you were quags!
71
Listen, you're gonna take a shower like an 18 -year -old man.
72
Okay, fine.
73
I guess I will try this shower thing, but I'm gonna need a boombox.
74
Boombox?
75
Why do you need a boombox?
76
Because I like to listen to music in the shower
77
and I can't use my phone because I don't want it to get wet.
78
You can use a phone, it's water resistant.
79
No, no, because I have the iPhone Air, and it's like a piece of paper.
80
If this gets wet, it's going to disintegrate.
81
Don't throw it.
82
No, I'm not doing this to it phone anymore.
83
Look.
84
Use my boombox.
85
Okay, fine.
86
I will try this out.
87
Shower.
88
Let's scrub it up now.
89
Clean.
90
The way I could hit his ass with a loofah.
91
I just wish he was a different person.
92
I wish he acted completely different.
93
Okay, the boombox should be good up there.
94
I don't want to get electrocuted.
95
Got my tunes going.
96
Okay, Ken, you ready to take our first shower?
97
I'll take my shorts off once I get nice and soaked.
98
It'll be like peeling a banana.
99
You like that, don't you, Ken?
100
All right, let's figure out how to turn this water on.
101
Hmm, Mom just does this part.
102
Um...
103
Dude, it's been 15 minutes.
104
I haven't even heard him turn on the shower one time.
105
What is he doing in there?
106
Well, maybe he's using the bathroom, Joseph using the bathroom it doesn't take

134
Why is he not moving?
135
Why is the radio radio...
136
What happened?
137
Obviously, so is his kryptonite, dude.
138
Let's call an ambulance.
139
I don't know what to do.
140
Oh, my God.
141
So, doctor, what happened to our friend?
142
Well, we took some x -rays, and it looks like he suffered a severe concussion.
143
He might have brain damage, and maybe even bofa.
144
Is it from his horrible odor?
145
No, I think it might be the Bofa.
146
No, not Bofa!
147
Yeah.
148
Bofa these nuts in your mouth!
149
But no, seriously, he's in really bad condition.
150
We think he had some blunt force trauma to the head.
151
You guys know what could have caused that?
152
Well, there was a radio laying next to him in the bathtub.
153
How would he get a concussion from a radio?
154
He'd throw it in the air and try to catch it with his face?
155
I don't know.
156
Yeah, me neither.
157
Honestly, I don't even give a shit.
158
It's not my job to find out.
159
Well, how long is he going to be in a coma for?
160
I don't know.
161
It could be 10, 20, maybe even 30 seconds. Or now!
162
Where am I?
163
Who am I?
164
What that mean?
165
Cody?
166
Cody?
167
Who are you guys?
168
What?
169
Oh, no, kids.
170
It looks like he has amnesia.
171
Amnesia?
172
What that mean?
173
Yeah, what that mean?
174
Well, it means that he can't remember some things.
175
Well, he doesn't know his own name?
176
No, who am I?
177
Your name is...
178
Cody.

345
Yeah.
346
Oh, my God.

What is that other plane?
351
No way.
352
No fucking way did another plane hit that building.
353
That's nuts.
354

355
Yeah, that was today.
356
That was today?
357
What are we doing?
358
We need to hide.
359
What if there's a third plane?
360
Oh, there's a third plane on the Pentagon.
361
The Pentagon, too?

375
We should be in a bunker.
376
No, like, 25 years ago today.
377
Oh!
378
Well, I guess it's not as bad, but still, that must have been the worst day in American history.
379
Oh, no, the worst day in American history was yesterday, a year ago.
380
Oh, what happened then?
381
It's this guy.
382

383
Who is that?
384
Oh!
385
Oh, damn, he got shot.
386
That's...
387
I'm gonna be honest, that's not as bad as the first one.
388
They acted like it was.
389
Talk about an overreaction.
390
Oh!
391
Okay, well, I mean, what happened with the planes?
392
What was the result of that?
393
Oh, we got, like, we had to take our shoes off at the airport.
394
Some weird shit, I don't know.
395
What does that have to do with planes?
396
Well, it's not, I don't know.
397
But anyway, just catching you up on life.
398
There's a lot of tragedies like that.
399
Yeah, well, I guess I missed a lot.
400
Yeah, going to school is dangerous.
401
Oh, oh, that's, okay.
402

What You'll Practice in This Lesson
Ever wanted to learn English with videos that feel like real, casual conversations? This lesson uses a lively dialogue from a video to help you practice shadowspeak (also called shadow speech) and improve your pronunciation. You’ll dive into everyday slang, natural reactions, and the kind of back-and-forth that happens between friends. By the end, you’ll feel more comfortable with informal speech and be ready to try the shadowing technique to mimic the speakers’ tone and rhythm.
Key Vocabulary & Phrases to Notice
- Rancid: Describes a strong, unpleasant smell (e.g., "that rancid -ass smell").
- Pumping iron: Slang for lifting weights at the gym.
- Swabbed my poop deck: A silly, informal way to say "cleaned my bottom" (using a nautical metaphor!).
- Whole production: Refers to something that’s more complicated or time-consuming than it needs to be.
- Used to: Indicates being accustomed to something (e.g., "I’m kind of used to this smell").
Tips for Shadowing This Video
The video’s dialogue is fast and playful, with lots of interruptions and laughter—perfect for practicing natural speech. Here’s how to use the shadowing technique effectively: Start by watching the video once to get the gist. Then, play short clips (5-10 seconds) and repeat them immediately, trying to match the speed, tone, and even the laughter. Notice how the speakers stress words like "dude" or "oh my God" to show surprise. This is shadow speech in action—you’re not just copying words, but the feeling behind them.
To improve English pronunciation, focus on the casual contractions ("I’m", "don’t") and the way "smell like" flows into "pure dookie" without pausing. The more you practice, the more natural these patterns will feel. Remember, the goal isn’t to be perfect—it’s to get comfortable with the rhythm of real conversation. So hit play, and let the dialogue guide your voice!
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Conditional sentences if + clause, will/would + verb — a condition and its result | if you were normal you'd stopped |
| “Used to” used to + verb — a past habit or state that is no longer true | used to this · used to love |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | hasn't done · hasn't swabbed · haven't even heard |
| Superlatives the -est / the most … — the top or bottom of a group | the sweatiest · The best · the straightest |
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.
