Bro, if I get desperate, I could end up with her, you know?
60
What?
61
I'm not letting some fake gay snatch the hottest cousin I got.
62
Bro, we've got no choice.
63
We've got to investigate his gayness.
64
How?
65
The icy pole test.
66
What's that?
67
You give him an icy pole.
68
If he deep throats it, he's gay.
69
And what if he licks it?
70

71
And I literally fell on my face.

82
I'm okay.
83
Nah, take the icy pole.
84
Bro, apparently it's got a more lemony flavor.
85
Yes.
86
I told you.
87
He's going to choke.
88
Shit, Johnny, should we help him?
89
No, no, no. He knows what he's doing.
90
He's gay, all right.
91
Oh, my God, are you all right?
92
Yeah, my throat's just, like, really cold now.
93
Okay, here.

102
Look.
103
Ah.
104
We need to give him a cucumber this time.
105
No!
106
No vegetables, no iceberg, no banana split.
107
This guy's good.
108
He's very good.
109
He ate that thing out better than Johnny Sins.
110
He's probably barring up right now.
111
We need a gay.
112
A real gay.
113
Yeah.
114
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
115
It's the only way to sniff him out.
116
The real is the only one that can tell the fake.
117
You know anyone?
118
Yeah, my uncle's gay.
119
Yeah?
120
Yeah.
121
He listens to Taylor Swift.
122
That's gay, yeah?
123
Hmm.
124
Yeah, it is.
125
What about that gay kid in our year at school?
126
What's his name?
127
George.
128
Yeah.
129
Yeah, yeah, George.
130
He's alright.
131
He was as gay as they get.
132
Didn't he gag the street?
133
The pole, the street for the joystick?
134
What?
135
He seems gay.
136
A lot of guys in his profile too.
137
You can tell he moisturises.
138
So do you know him?
139
Yeah, cause all gay guys know each other. Do they?
140
Hey!
141
Johnny, no!
142
No, no, no, no!
143
Hey, you reckon you can test him out for us?
144
You're not whoring us out, Theo.
145
Bro, please, is there anything you can do?
146
I just don't know about questioning a man's gayness.
147
Oh my god, bro, look.
148
Think about it.
149
Acting gay when you're not gay is like blackface for gays.
150
It's gayface!
151
So, fucking hell, we're gonna get this dog.
152
I work for Grindr.
153
Grindr?
154
Shh!
155
Yes, it's Grindr.
156
It's a gay dating app.
157
I can show you all the guys he's matched with,
158
but you can't tell anyone that I told you. Can I help you?
159
Yeah, listen, mate, are you?
160
Geoffrey Clifford, male, 25, likes playing guitar?
161
Yes.
162
Step right this way, please, mate.
163
I met up with him, like, three times.
164
Did you get physical with this individual?
165
Well, no, that's the thing.
166
I was so excited to try topping for the first time, but when I wanted to do it, he just got sick out of nowhere.
167
Topping?
168
We were talking about what music he likes, and he went on some rant about how much he hates George Michael.
169
He got what he wanted from me and then disappeared.
170
He took, like, five photos of us and started putting them on his Instagram.
171
Yeah.
172
We're looking for a...
173
Pat Bateman?
174
Pat.
175

176

177
Did he date a Zach for a while?
178
Yeah.
179
Oh, my God.
180

181
Why?
182
We actually slept together.
183
You slept with him?
184
Yeah. So he's not gay?
185
No, no. God, no. What happened?
186
I thought he was hot and I flirted with him and then he was like, hey, can I eat you out to make sure I'm definitely not gay?
187
And I was like, sure.
188
God, he gave good head.
189
Oh, yeah.
190
And then he asked if he could give my mother a Brazilian.

200

202

203
Step away from my cousin and put your hands on the air.
204
What is going on?
205
He's not gay.
206
He's pretending.
207

208
Cut the act, bro.
209
We found every guy he's ever been with.
210

211
He befriends a girl, waxes him, and then bangs them when he gets the chairs!
212
Okay.
213
Okay!
214
It's true.
215

216
I'm not gay.
217

218
I'm obsessed with women and so I just...
219
I do the gay thing to get close to them.
220
I guess it's the only way I know how to.
221

227

228

229

230

231
It's so obvious he's straight.
232
Really?
233
You hate George Michael.
234
You're always listening to Tupac.
235
It's like I even saw your MILF porn search history.
236
Yeah.
237
Then why you let him touch?
238
Because I liked it and I wanted him to.
239
Theo, don't you realize I'm in prison?
240
Listen, I can't even look at a guy without being interrogated by you or my family.
241
The only way I can actually get a real dick is by hanging out with a fake gay.
242
Oh my god.
243
Now come here and dick me.
244
Dick me as hard as you can.
245

250
Full stop.
251
Bruh, why you never let me slap your ass like that?
252
Why?
253
Because you're my cousin.

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.
