Say less, say less, say less.
519
And I know some of the kids, I know some of them are married in as well.
520
So I know there's daughter and son-in-laws in here as well.
521
You don't have the right.

I haven't been keeping up with it, but I know it's gonna be much.
532
It's finished!
533
It's finished!
534
Ah!
535
No!
536
That's Mertim!
537
The wage is done!
538
The monthly wage is gone, bro!
539
That used to be me every single month.
540
Oh my God.
541
That's fucking brutal.
542
You have 85 for the rest of the month.
543
That's it, bro.
544
Nah.
545
Nah, bro.
546
Sight has to give.
547
Yeah, yeah!
548
I have to start robbing s*s, because Sight has to give.
549
100%, bro.
550
100%.
551
That was the time I told you me and Monzo were in it.
552
Because they gave me a card, they gave me 1500 overdraft.
553
One month gone.
554
One month gone, because I was starving.
555
Yeah, yeah, fair.
556
One month he was gone, bro.
557
Wow.
558
He's smiling through the pain, bro.
559
Oh my god.
560
There's no way that was an accident.
561
Yeah, fuck us.
562
Don't buy me a present again.
563
Again.
564
Because I already said, I don't need anything.
565
But this is a joke.
566
Exactly.
567
You don't give a fuck.
568
Or I'm just so predictable.
569
It's one of the two.
570
Basic.
571
Yeah, I'm basic, bro.
572
Basic.
573
Excuse me.
574
He's having a week.
575
I'm not.
576
He's having a week.
577
I'm not.
578
He's having a week.
579
I'm not.
580
I'm not.
581
I'm not.
582
No, no, no, no. Yes.
583
Are you finished?
584
Nah, this shit ain't funny.
585
It's not funny for anyone.
586
It's not, bro.
587
It's just not.
588
It's jarring.
589
Also, why are you lying like that if you're not pissing?
590
You're 100% pissing, bro.
591
You are pissing, bro.
592
Why are you lying down like that?
593
Ah!
594
Pissing in pools needs to be outlawed.
595
Yeah, bro.
596
They need to put satin in the water to, like, it turns purple or satin when you're pissing in there.
597
Oh, 100%, bro.
598
They have that in some teams.
599
But also it's like, I'm not going in that.
600
If I can see why they don't do it.
601
Because I only need to see that color once.
602
You won't see me in April again.
603
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
604
True.
605
Because now I know it happens.
606
Before it's all speculation.
607
Yeah, yeah.
608
I can't be sure.
609
Now I'm certain.
610
You're pissing in it.
611
Yeah, safe.
612
I'm not swimming again.
613
Yeah, fair.
614
They'd have to empty out all the water.
615
Start again.
616
That's scary.
617
That's scary!
618
That took him.
619
He took fly boy.
620
Nah.
621
I already know the feeling he had in his stomach bro.
622
Ooooooh!
623
His dick was tickling.
624
Oh here we go.
625
Stupidity number one.
626
Yeah.
627
What were you expecting bro?
628
Facts.
629
He didn't even act as if that was a possibility.
630
Yeah bro.
631
It's just like there was nothing he could have done.
632
Nothing.
633
Right guys, that was trying not to laugh.
634
Obviously failed miserably.
635
Miserably?
636
Yeah.
637
Wow.
638
Some of them were too much.
639
Too funny.
640
But obviously, hope you enjoyed.

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.
