Everything in here, that stopped you.
111
Because it looks like it might be authentic.
112
Well, not might be.
113
It is.
114
Holy shit.
115
This line here shows the path that Ferdinand Magellan took to sail around the world.
116
First guy to do it.
117
You know your history.
118
Yeah, only he wasn't the first guy to do it.
119
Magellan died in the Philippines on a random beach somewhere.
120
It was his captain.
121
Juan Sebastian Elcano finished the trip with 17 others, also known as the infamous 18.
122
I know the legend that his voyage wasn't about exploration, it was about finding that gold.
123
But it's just a story.
124
No. I beg to differ.
125
These trips were hugely expensive back then.
126
The king of Spain couldn't afford it.
127
It wasn't gonna be any trip until a private financier stepped in.
128
House of Moncada.
129
Yep.
130
Bankrolled the Crusades, the Inquisition, Frank was fascist in the 30s, and just about every horrible thing you can think of.
131
They offered Magellan his grand voyage of exploration, so long as he came back with that gold.
132
How much gold?
133
Today's dollars?
134
Five billion easy.
135
It's the biggest treasure that's never been found.
136
Look, I've been dreaming about this since I was a kid.
137
Somehow you already knew that.
138
You know, Sam said he had a little brother who was just as into this Magellan stuff.
139
I thought there's no way.
140
Wait, you know my brother Sam?
141
Oh, we were practically friends.
142
That's saying something considering the company I keep.
143
Look.
144
Look at him.
145
He has a beard.
146
Where is he?
147
When was this taken?
148
Almost two years ago, San Sebastian, Spain.
149
We were getting close to Captain El Conlo's tomb, but Sam was sure we'd find his journal and end at the location of that gold.
150
Then he disappears.
151
Doesn't call, doesn't answer my texts, nothing.
152
He ghosted me.
153
That sounds like my brother.
154
So he hasn't been in touch?
155
Sam?
156
No. Not even a postcard?
157
No, not a postcard, phone call, text message, I don't know what happened between you two, but I think if we find that gold, there's a real good chance we find him too.
158
What do you say?
159
Sam left when I was 10.
160
He would call every once in a while, swore he'd come back, but he never did.
161
Sam that I knew disappeared a long time ago.
162
So, no. You have to find somebody else.
163
Well, I'm really losing my touch.
164
I'm sorry.
165
I wish you were here, bro.
166
There's a whole world you haven't seen.
167
But you will.
168
I promise.
169
I'm sorry.
170
Hey kid, what took you so long?
171
So when do we start?

Who Will Love This Video for English Practice?
This video is perfect for intermediate learners ready to level up their conversational skills—especially if you’re prepping for IELTS speaking practice or want to sound more natural in daily chats. The casual, back-and-forth dialogue mirrors real-life interactions, making it ideal for mastering flow and timing. Whether you’re aiming to hold better conversations or refine your accent, the relatable banter between characters offers a fun, low-pressure way to practice.
Words & Idioms to Add to Your Toolkit
The conversation is packed with standout phrases that’ll make your English sound more native. Here are a few to steal:
- "Formally employed": A playful way to say someone used to have a job (great for lighthearted jokes).
- "Test me a little": Asking someone to challenge you—perfect for when you want to try something new, like a drink or a skill.
- "Leave it open or closed": In context, this refers to a tab at a bar, but it’s a flexible phrase for asking about preferences (e.g., "Do you want the window open or closed?").
- "Only Daddy's money": A sarcastic way to downplay spending, often used to joke about not worrying about costs.
Nailing the Accent with Shadowing Techniques
To really make this dialogue work for you, try the shadowing technique (also called shadow speak or shadowspeak). Here’s how: Play a short clip, pause, and repeat the lines immediately, mimicking the tone, speed, and stress. The speakers in the video use natural intonation—notice how "Well, well, well" and "I’m kidding" rise and fall to show emotion. Focus on the relaxed pronunciation of "Negroni" (neh-GROH-nee) and the casual "kind of" (often shortened to "kinda"). This practice will improve English pronunciation and help you sound more confident in real conversations. Keep at it—even 10 minutes a day will make a difference!
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — an action that started earlier and is still going on | I've been trying · I've been dreaming |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | Haven't seen · that's never been found · hasn't been |
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.
