Oh hey, welcome to Hey Tableau.

As promised, today I'm going to talk about how to become or how to be a good writer.

Hey Tableau.

First of all, why does it matter?

Why do I have to be a good writer?

Why do I have to be a good speaker?

Well, even if you're not like planning on being a novelist, even

if you're not planning on being a lyricist I think writing

is just you know part of everyday life right like even texts in workplace environments it's just much better

if you can communicate your thoughts in a sentence

or two well let me just say in my day-to-day work well 90% of the texts I get it's It's just,

it's like hieroglyphics.

They're speaking Korean to me or English to me, but I have no fucking clue what they're saying.

It's just like, it's like a puzzle, right?

But it's like the most simple thing that they're trying to communicate, but like they write it in a way where it only makes sense to them.

But the whole purpose of communication is for your point to get across, right?

Like if your thoughts are only making sense to you,

that's literally just, that's just thinking.

That's not even, that's not communication.

Like it has to land.

So I think becoming a good writer, I think the reason why our community, I think the reason why our fans are

so interested in becoming better writers and better speakers is because it affects even those parts of their lives.

And I believe just in general, being a good writer and speaker helps you get ahead in any situation, to be honest.

We're not gonna debate about, do you have to be born a good writer?

Like, is this something you're born with?

Or like, is this something that can be developed?

I don't know.

I am not God.

I don't know that.

I guess it helps if you're just born that way.

But I don't think that's something to even think about, right?

Because you can't change whatever you have or don't have.

So I'm going to try to be as practical as possible and give you actionable advice.

Hopefully it helps.

I don't have the answers, though.

I just became a good writer through sheer hard work.

I just wrote a lot.

But I think some of this might help.

Before I go into this, let me begin with these two phrases.

You're so good at speaking.

You're so good at writing.

These compliments are great to hear, right?

I bet you just saw these two lines and you're like, oh, shit.

That's like something I would love to hear.

Stop wanting to hear these sentences.

And let me explain why.

Let's say you wrote something and they see it.

And you wrote about, like, I don't know, you wrote about your thoughts on recent,

you know, technology or, like, social media, right?

Like, about how social media, like, your thoughts on social media.

And then they're like, dude, you're a great writer.

I would prefer hey you have some great thoughts do you know what I mean?

let's say I'm having a conversation with somebody and I say something

that like really you know that they identify with

or they relate to or you know something that just like really pinches their soul right And they say,

dude, you speak so well.

I know it's a compliment, but I would prefer, hey, I agree with your thoughts.

Or hey, I really like what you just said there.

I like your thoughts.

You have good thoughts.

And the reason why I say this, you might be thinking like, dude, just take the compliment.

Fuck.

If they say you're a good writer, if they say you're a good speaker, Just be like, thank you.

I do appreciate it.

But I say this because in order to become a good writer,

I believe that you need to stop wanting to hear, hey, you're a good writer.

Hey, you're good at writing.

Hey, you're good at speaking.

Because these compliments will not help you.

You should want to hear that you have good thoughts, right?

because that is what will impel you to actually have them.

Instead of just thinking of writing and speaking as some craft or skill,

you will prioritize having substance first.

If there's two people, one person has really deep thoughts,

like you can tell that they have been thinking about this topic for a while.

But let's say, you know, their choice of words, like their diction isn't that good.

Let's just say that, you know, they're not as descriptive as they need to be.

Or let's say they just don't know that much vocab, right?

And then there's this one person that is like fucking just dropping, you know, word salad, right?

Like just serving word salad.

and clearly they you know they went to like some some writing camps

or whatever and they can write really flamboyantly and just they sound awesome

but there's like if you dig through

that salad of words there's really no substance there I would you know 100% say that the first person

the former uh is is the better writer like it doesn't matter

if they have you know broken sentences it doesn't matter

if they're not using like fucking sat vocab i mean come on right

if they have substance in their writing if they have good thoughts

and they can communicate it to me and

if i get it then they're clearly the better writer than

this person who you know put me through like a like a whirlwind of vocabulary

but they don't really say anything so back to the compliments like you're

so good at writing you're so good at speaking like i'm sure you've you've all heard

that before right uh stop liking it i i think that's that's my first tip like

when somebody says hey you're such a good like speaker you're such a good talk like yo you talk so well

think to yourself hey i appreciate it but why am i not hearing

that i have a i have good thoughts like

that my thoughts are good and

that will make you want to have you know to focus on

100

that part not the skill not the actual like practical writing part i've actually said to people like it's not

101

that i'm a good writer it's that i actually thought about this

102

and my thoughts are connecting to you like they're connecting with you like

103

that i have uh like substantial thoughts like i have i these thoughts are actually valuable

104

but when you say that i'm good at writing

105

it kind of feels like you're discounting the amount of you know value that my thoughts actually have You know,

106

it makes it sound like I'm just able to sell it well.

107

And they were like, dude, just take the compliment.

108

You know what I mean?

109

But you know what I mean, right?

110

Did it make sense to you?

111

You're a good speaker.

112

What did you just say?

113

I'll take the compliment.

114

Thank you.

115

Thank you.

116

May I briefly interrupt Hey Tableau for breaking news?

117

Have you ever dreamed of being a guest here on Hey Tableau?

118

If you live in the US or Canada, this is your chance.

119

Epic High is embarking on a North America tour starting September 30th.

120

All through October, we're going to be in the US and Canada.

121

I want to do an episode of Hey Tableau where I

122

have a convo with a fan in each of these cities that we visit.

123

Here's how it's going to work.

124

If you have a VIP 1 or VIP 2 package, you'll get entry into a VIP soundcheck.

125

We'll choose one lucky fan at each of these sound checks

126

and you and I will have a short combo You can ask me for life advice Relationship advice

127

and all of that will be compiled into an episode of Hey Tableau

128

if you already have a VIP 1 or VIP 2 You're automatically entered, but if you don't have one go get one now at epic high.com

129

And you can have a chance to have a cameo on Hey Tableau back to the podcast

130

now in order to have these uh good thoughts, these profound thoughts, or these, you know, true thoughts, like genuine,

131

authentic thoughts, you got to live first.

132

You really got to live.

133

Like, so I've been in certain situations where I've had to speak to students,

134

either at like, you know, schools

135

or even sometimes I once spoke at this place where uh

136

people wanted to be like lyricists it was like a academy

137

for I guess like lyricist hopefuls right um I didn't even know these academies existed

138

but I was once asked to speak there and um I don't think I spoke much about

139

how to actually how to actually write i spoke more about how to actually like how to live

140

like i was like you know uh

141

if you came here into a building into a room with like a ceiling over you uh

142

and you're under the impression that you can walk out of here after a couple months

143

a better lyricist or a better writer, I'm really, you know, I'm sorry to break it to you, but that's not going to happen.

144

Like what makes you a great lyricist or a writer is that you have things to say,

145

that you understand emotions, that you have experiences that are unique that somebody might be interested in,

146

or you experience common emotions that will help you relate to other people

147

that you've never met and will allow them to feel uh you know solace and

148

and sometimes just feel excitement sometimes feel feel fear uh

149

but you need you need to understand these emotions

150

and the only way is to to go out there and

151

and live more so that you have more to talk about

152

and none of that will happen at a desk none of

153

that will happen in a room or Or if you can't go out there, that's why we read.

154

Like someone else went out there,

155

risked it all, and got on a boat and tried to catch a whale.

156

Right?

157

Because you can't do that right now.

158

You can't afford to get on a boat right now and go catch a whale.

159

So someone else did that and wrote Moby Dick.

160

So you read Moby Dick, right?

161

And we, we experienced these things like vicariously.

162

We experienced like climbing mountains.

163

We experienced like life and death.

164

We experienced loss, you know, all, all via reading.

165

Same thing can be done watching movies, you know, watching TV shows.

166

But what I'm trying to say is in order to,

167

you know, have the thoughts to write about or to want to communicate,

168

you have to live more.

169

You have to experience a lot of different things.

170

And for some reason, from my experience, anytime I've had to speak to students about writing,

171

they are almost solely focused on the craft part like they don't

172

when i was telling them this like you could tell like they weren't they weren't

173

that interested they were like yo i get it but like just give me the cheat code

174

like like what how many words in a line like you

175

know how do you like find rhymes hey like what what words should i use here

176

that that makes the hook sound good and i'm like but that's not

177

then you got to go to someone else because that's not what I do.

178

I'm not a good writer because I know some tricks.

179

I just felt a lot of different things, right?

180

And I had my heart broken.

181

I got my ass bruised and bitten by a St. Bernard.

182

so i know that pain i know what it feels like to get your ass bitten

183

and i'm like without these experiences how are you how are

184

you possibly going to communicate emotion to someone else like and

185

but they're like no just just okay okay i get that okay i'll do that but also give me the cheat code.

186

There is no cheat code is what I'm trying to say.

187

There really isn't.

188

You gotta, you gotta live more or read more,

189

preferably writing by people who,

190

who think the way I just said I do,

191

who decided to go out and live more to write whatever they wrote.

192

But also it's great to read really terrible writing.

193

There's a like this famous essay by Stephen King.

194

It's about like how to write well basically.

195

And he talks about like he's like, his first rule is like, just read a lot.

196

But the reason why, he says you have to read bad writing too because it tells you like how not to write.

197

Right?

198

or it gives you a little bit of confidence right a little boost in your confidence

199

and you have to read good writing even though it sometimes crushes you

200

and makes you feel like you will never reach that level

201

and it must be something that they're born with

202

or it must be something divine like the muses right it must be something unattainable but um

203

but you must read it to to know what is possible for you as well right what possibility there is

204

so um yeah read bad writing too and hence live bad experiences too is what i'm saying

205

I'm not saying go to Switzerland and you know look at beautiful like mountains

206

and like I don't know I've been to Switzerland like I

207

went there recently I don't remember much other than mountains

208

but like you know what I mean like don't by living I don't mean like going out there

209

and just like experiencing awesome things I mean like going out there

210

and like falling and like you know making mistakes like getting misunderstood

211

and getting yelled at for something you didn't do um getting

212

yelled at for something you did do like just i'm not telling you to go out there

213

and break the law to become you know a good writer or to write good instagram captions but i'm saying like

214

within uh the bounds of safety i would advise you know experiencing things Where do you find bad writing?

215

Where do I find bad writing?

216

It's just my iMessage history.

217

Would you like to see?

218

My emails?

219

90% of my emails is me.

220

Like half my morning is me trying to figure out

221

if I'm insane Or the person sending me the email just simply does not know how to craft a sentence.

222

But I'm really wondering if I'm insane.

223

I'm like, am I insane?

224

Am I just not understanding what this is saying?

225

And quite often when I reply and I say, I'm really sorry, but I don't fully understand what you mean.

226

can you explain you know what's crazy they don't either they don't know what they're saying

227

but they just had to send something so they like just wrote it out

228

but they're not sure of what they're they're not sure of what they want to communicate

229

which you know takes me back to

230

that point stop trying to be a good writer that

231

that see that kind of email is what happens

232

when you try to be a good communicator or like a good emailer

233

or good writer as opposed to actually you know

234

sending a good thought you know what i mean

235

if they were more focused on that they would have not sent the email

236

and been like what is what is it i want to

237

say let me first think about what i'm trying to accomplish here

238

and then i'll write the email but they were like computer first keyboard And they were like,

239

OK, how do I sound like I don't totally not know what the fuck I'm trying to say?

240

Yeah, how do I?

241

And then they use AI or something and they're like, yo, make me sound like I know what the fuck I'm talking about.

242

Right.

243

But don't do that because it just makes the work like 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x.

244

Right.

245

Because you have to go back and forth with me because I'm trying to understand.

246

Like, I want to understand what you're saying so I can make your life better, too.

247

But if I don't know what you're talking about, how can I do that?

248

You know, another tangent here, but this is a message to haters, to people who hate me,

249

okay, and who want to leave hate comments in my comment section so that I get hurt,

250

so that my work gets damaged, so that I have a bad day because you don't want me happy.

251

Right?

252

Become better writers.

253

I want you to become better writers too.

254

Okay.

255

I'm sharing this for you as well.

256

Even if you hate me and you want to leave hate comments, do you know why?

257

Most of the hate comments are so poorly fucking written that I can't get hurt.

258

Like, bro, it is not landing.

259

Like, your joke is not landing.

260

It's not making me laugh.

261

It's just making me confused.

262

I'm like, wait, does this person hate me or not?

263

Like, is this even a hate comment?

264

Right?

265

You literally sound like this.

266

That's what you sound like.

267

I am also, I'm not just, you know, giving this advice to people who are fans of Hey Tableau.

268

I'm giving it to, like, people who hate us, too.

269

Like, you know, communicate better.

270

Okay?

271

You suck at writing.

272

You suck at speaking.

273

i really don't get bothered because it's

274

so terrible like i don't know what the fuck they're saying

275

it's like the email in the morning like what are you trying to say okay i get

276

that you're not happy about something

277

but what are you trying to say like you know how to know

278

if a quote-unquote good writer or quote-unquote like good speaker is actually a good writer is

279

if you observe them speaking to a child you know how schools sometimes invite writers to speak to kids

280

or like kids go to like you know some academy

281

or something to learn writing um you'll you'll see like uh these semi renowned people like speaking to kids as

282

if they're the kids are like PhD students like using words

283

that these kids can't know right and

284

and immediately I'm like this guy's a fucking this guy's a

285

hack I don't care how many awards he has he's the

286

worst he is the worst storyteller he He is the worst human.

287

I'm like, what are you doing here?

288

Like, you are supposed to give something to these kids.

289

Like, you're taking their time.

290

Give them something.

291

But why are you flexing on them?

292

It's my turn to speak.

293

I'm like, hey, kids.

294

Ooh. And they love it.

295

And the kids like love it.

296

Did you know that speak is also great for kids' English practice?

297

The expressions in the beginner course are the same as the courses that are taught for kindergarten and elementary school.

298

So kids, even kids can pick it up easy.

299

For a lot of kids, the biggest hurdle is that there aren't that many opportunities to speak the English once you're outside of class,

300

hagwon, or you know what I mean, right?

301

Like once you're outside of those environments, it's really hard to find somebody to speak English with.

302

And with English, if you don't use it, you lose it.

303

But with Speak, you can keep it.

304

With Speak, you're doing parenting and they're getting playtime all in one.

305

And they can even pick up grammar and learn culture along the way.

306

Speak has a special promo going on.

307

308

Make sure to use the Hey Tableau link.

309

There's a PDF that will help you your travel English and your business English.

310

This is a very important point.

311

Meet more people that disagree with you.

312

In order to have the good thoughts necessary for good writing or for good speaking or for just better communication,

313

you must live more.

314

And And in that living,

315

it's great if you run into situations or people that you don't find completely pleasant.

316

The reason you need to have people that disagree with you is

317

because thoughts can't become good thoughts unless they are challenged and tested.

318

They, you must be, your thoughts must be forced against the wall and you must, you must, you must really,

319

really sit and assess whether you really know what you're talking about.

320

You have to assess if these thoughts that you have are thoughts that you will fight for,

321

that you're willing to fight for, right?

322

And that won't happen if you surround yourself with people or situations or ideas that,

323

you know, simply just agree with you.

324

Or you don't want yes men is what I'm trying to say.

325

Like, you have to get into argument.

326

You know, the whole concept of, like, the salons.

327

like you know um back in the day they had you know they had places where people would gather

328

and like and um and writers and poets and artists would would gather

329

and you know what they did they disagreed with each other

330

that's all they did like they got together at a cafe

331

or like at a i don't know like a live music place or something and they just fucking argued Like seriously,

332

you don't know what you're talking about.

333

Yo, I don't agree with you.

334

And then they just argued.

335

You know like Bob Dylan and John Lennon, you know when they got together, you think they were like, dude, your song is awesome.

336

Dude, Beatles, yo, you're awesome.

337

No, you're awesome, Bob.

338

No, you're awesome.

339

No, your lyrics are fucking awesome.

340

I agree with every single word.

341

I agree.

342

Let it be.

343

Let it be.

344

All of it.

345

I agree with all of it.

346

Let's let it be together.

347

I agree with all of it.

348

They didn't do that.

349

Bob Dylan and, you know, any, any, you know, poet back in the day,

350

just name anyone like Hemingway, Fitzgerald, all of them like they, they argued.

351

They were like, no, you're wrong.

352

no this writing is

353

that this is not true writing like this is not true these thoughts are not true like that's not genuine

354

and then they just they argued and argued until you know they uh

355

they had their ideas tested and their their writing tested and

356

and what what ultimately resulted from that is that they all became better writers they all become became better thinkers

357

even if you're wrong ultimately even if uh it forces you to admit

358

that you're wrong and to and that doesn't feel good

359

but like you know it will help you next time when when

360

when you're trying to be right i guess is what i'm

361

trying to say however i am not saying spend your whole day on X.

362

Okay?

363

I don't want any of you to be like, Tableau told me that to become a good thinker,

364

I must go where people will disagree with me.

365

And I don't want you to be like, so I'm going to go to X.

366

Those people aren't disagreeing with you.

367

They, first of all, most of them aren't even people.

368

a lot of them are bots right and um

369

when i say meet people you disagree with i mean disagreeing

370

with you in a civil way in a in a constructive productive way and

371

and they're out there they're out there i mean i'm surrounded

372

by them mithra two cuts i am still able to be in a team with them because we literally disagree about everything,

373

like what to eat.

374

They don't like any of my thoughts or beliefs.

375

I don't like any of Tukas' beliefs or thoughts or anything to do with him.

376

But we still work together fine, and we still like we still like love each other you

377

know we still think of each other as like you know

378

our like best friends right even though we don't agree with seriously like i seriously do not agree with anything

379

to cut stinks or says except the things he thinks and says about Mithra

380

no but like it's very healthy it's very healthy x is not the answer

381

but like um you know don't don't break off your friendships with people like just because you know, you know, you, you know, they say something that you disagree with.

382

I know some of you are probably listening right now and you're like, okay, I get it.

383

You're making some good points.

384

Like, okay, you have good thoughts.

385

Okay.

386

Good, good thoughts.

387

Substantial.

388

Yeah.

389

Great.

390

Great.

391

Give me the fucking cheat codes.

392

Um, I really don't have cheat codes.

393

That's the thing.

394

I really don't.

395

It's, um, but I do have one rule and I've, I've talked about this before and some people,

396

you know, some people have left hate comments even there, but again, didn't really affect me because they're terrible fucking writers.

397

But, um, my one rule is, there's only one rule actually.

398

It's not my number one rule it's one rule the other

399

person has to know what you're talking about that's it that's it that's it right

400

and it actually forces you to know more vocab okay i'm

401

gonna make a point here it might not make sense at first

402

but listen in order for you to use less vocab in your writing

403

you actually have to know more vocab does

404

that make sense it's the people that have that

405

that have word salads or

406

that have like a ton of you know vocab in in

407

unnecessary vocab in their in their writing they probably actually let know less vocab the reason why um concise writing like

408

you know writing that has brevity like that gets to the point that anyone can understand

409

people who communicate that way are making decisions with each word right they are making decisions

410

and in order for you to make decisions you actually have to have more like more knowledge

411

more words in your arsenal

412

and you're choosing not to use them you know what i mean like you can drop the big word here

413

that will make people go oh wow i don't know what

414

that means but sounds cool you can

415

and you know it you know the word

416

but you don't use them you don't use

417

that word instead you choose the the simpler word

418

because you are prioritizing

419

that person understanding above whatever you want with like you shouldn't matter is my rule like

420

and that's the same thing when I'm writing songs like

421

when I'm writing lyrics I do get tempted sometimes to write

422

for me right like oh yo nice I I want to sound cool and I want to sound confused.

423

I want to confuse people.

424

Like I want them to like not know what the fuck I'm talking about to look cool.

425

Yes, I get tempted sometimes, but I make decisions and I'm like,

426

why would it like, why would this song even matter if no one gets it?

427

Right?

428

Like I felt this pain that I want to describe, but if no one identifies with it

429

if no one understands what i'm saying why like why does

430

this song exist i'm like doing a disservice to the song to me by by you know being confusing that that's

431

but that's my only rule like am i making sense though like it'd be funny okay it'd be really funny

432

if I'm trying to get this point across my one rule is for the person listening to understand

433

but it'd be hilarious if me explaining this right now like you're finding it hard to understand

434

okay because I'd be my point is like completely destroyed No,

435

but like always prioritize the person on the receiving end.

436

And trust me, it sounds simple, but it must be really fucking hard to do because people won't do it.

437

And I am constantly, because of my profession and because of who I am,

438

I'm often surrounded by other writers or sometimes like columnists or critics,

439

you know, like people who are generally like considered great thinkers or writers, right?

440

And the thing with these people is that they want to make it known, so they talk a lot, right?

441

Like me.

442

No, but you know what I mean, right?

443

So I'm there with them.

444

And most of the time, they are so busy, focus on how they sound.

445

Like, you can tell that they are not talking to me.

446

They're talking and listening to themselves talk.

447

And they're like, yeah, I sound awesome.

448

Or, you know, like, how do I have these incredible thoughts? like right

449

and i'm like immediately i know like as soon as the

450

convo starts i'm like okay this person is not not talking to me like this person doesn't care

451

if i understand this or not right

452

but sometimes i met this one guy who was a like

453

a he was like a nobel uh physicist yeah i don't

454

ask asked me why I was I drank whiskey with him

455

and I don't know shit about quantum physics like I don't know anything about physics okay I'm a writer

456

but from the first word to like we spoke for hours

457

and the whole time he deliberately spoke in my language you

458

know what i mean he didn't use any of those those physics terms

459

that i will click like clearly i won't understand

460

and he uh i hate this phrase

461

but you know how certain people say like dumb down

462

but like that that's that's a disservice to what he was doing

463

but he he was sort of like me he he knew

464

immediately uh how to communicate to me like he put me

465

at the center of what he was trying to do

466

and then he talked about physics uh quantum physics and like concepts

467

that i you know i can't i i would have a hard time grasping

468

but he he did it in a way where i understood you know

469

and um even once like during the convo he even said to me he said you know, you keep saying that you don't like,

470

you know, you don't understand physics and stuff.

471

But like, I understand the physics of what's like going on out there.

472

But you, you, Tableau, as a musician,

473

as an artist, you understand what's the universe in here way better than I do.

474

Right.

475

So, you know, he was able to connect with me like that.

476

Right?

477

And also, if I'm speaking to him about my my work

478

i'm not gonna tell him like i'm not gonna use words like like musical like words

479

that he might not understand like he may but he might not right

480

so i'm not gonna like be like also the mpc i'll

481

just be like you know the the drum machine there's this there's a device

482

that makes drums like i'll simplify to get the point across right

483

and and and i i thought

484

that was remarkable how he was able to take these complex um topics

485

and and he allowed me to understand by prioritizing me in the convo right

486

and that's such a respectful thing to do it's just a beautiful thing to do right

487

and i i try to do that like even

488

when i do hey tableau like i am very uh mindful of you know how you know the thing

489

that i always say to you the most i say does this make sense i was like am i being confusing

490

it's like a habit of mine to check

491

because it's what i'm saying today is worthless if it

492

if it doesn't land with you right there's one more point i want to make

493

and uh this one might be actually like this one actually

494

might be the most important like truly the most underrated um

495

tip or cheat code finally a cheat code humor does not make your writing frivolous

496

i am surprised by how many people believe

497

that injecting humor into their um you know their speech

498

or their uh or their writing um makes it unserious like they there's people

499

that really believe that

500

and uh even though they are normally they are like very funny people uh

501

and just they'll make you laugh for some reason when they sit down and do their serious writing

502

it's just completely devoid of any humor like at all like

503

it it's it's like oh my god it's just like a

504

hard they'll write an essay it's just hard to get through

505

right they won't give you moments where they're like opening the window a bit right

506

and that's what humor does like it allows you to breathe

507

it allows you to connect with the person that's writing this

508

and um and i'm like yo uh it's it's great

509

but um i think i think it's it's okay to be a little you know add a little humor like

510

so i connect better right and they're like dude this is a serious topic and i'm like yeah i know

511

it's totally possible to do that and and i think some people really think

512

that it like humor kind of like devalues the seriousness of what you're trying to what you're trying to say

513

and um clearly I don't subscribe to that idea right

514

because look at what I do I think you know I

515

do epic cause a I do hate tableau like you know

516

most of the time we don't we don't even look like we have thoughts right

517

and you might not notice it but some of the humor

518

that we like to throw at people like the the humor

519

that we you it's non-stop right but somewhere in there um there's points getting across

520

that like you might not even know it's just like under the radar and you know entering your heart

521

and it's possible because it's through humor like you don't even notice it right and sometimes

522

serious thoughts

523

that need to be communicated like serious writing the reason why I say serious writing requires humor more is

524

because if you try to communicate serious thoughts to me my human instinct is to kind of pull away right

525

because it's like I got this was a bit heavy for

526

me like hey I'm trying not to like I'm trying to distract myself that's why I'm watching your

527

stupid fucking podcast like i'm not trying to have some serious thoughts here right

528

but you know humor um humor allows you to do it under the radar humor disarms the person listening

529

and uh that's why like i i always advise people to

530

like to add humor to um whatever they're doing Even if it's like, you know, even if it's like just a caption,

531

even if it's marketing, if it's marketing, most of all, you need humor, right?

532

But you will be surprised by how many people are in marketing or heads of marketing firms that have zero humor.

533

Like they will not laugh at your jokes.

534

They will not allow jokes like in the meeting room.

535

Like they are, they are, they are so serious about what they're doing.

536

It's not

537

that serious you're you're fucking you're selling you're selling squishies okay

538

like come on you can you can afford to be humorous

539

and and and i i i think i think humor is

540

so underrated you you have to like you have to watch things

541

that are funny okay like if you're only watching like serious movies right I don't fucking watch anything but Christopher Nolan.

542

Anything other than Christopher Nolan is below me.

543

I'm not a comedy, a fucking comedy.

544

Get out of here.

545

Get this humor out of here.

546

Somebody get this humor out of here.

547

There are people like that, though.

548

And I'm like, OK, well, I'm not going to read anything you write.

549

Don't even text me.

550

Like, don't, don't, please don't create content.

551

Don't give me your Instagram, like, handle.

552

I'm not going to go look at it.

553

Like, I already know what it's going to be like, okay?

554

Because if you're not, if you're not allowing people to make you laugh, if that's not a daily thing, like, if you're not, like, looking for fun things, like comedy,

555

like, like memes, like, if you're not goofing around and laughing, how are you going to possibly know what what will make

556

someone else smile like how are you ever going to know

557

that and this is just like the point i was making you got to live more

558

and you got to you got to go through heartbreak the

559

reason why you got to go through heartbreak is you will never be able to speak to somebody

560

and console somebody that's dealing with heartbreak

561

if you've never experienced it you don't know what they're feeling like you truly don't know

562

and through through like a myriad of experiences, you will gain like an amazing,

563

like an entire encyclopedia of emotions.

564

Like you will know it because you felt it

565

and you can you can pull those out at any time to speak to this person.

566

You're talking to this, you're having a conversation with this person at brunch and and they're talking about like,

567

they're talking about dealing with like a kidney stone.

568

Luckily you've experienced it you've been through hell, right?

569

So you know what they're feeling and you know what they need to hear right now You know, you know the story they want to hear you know the song

570

that they want to hear but you know what I mean, right and humor I believe is the one thing that

571

Everyone appreciates whether or not they let themselves right like they want to laugh everybody wants to laugh so that

572

if you have this humorous skill down I guarantee you're like 90% done like with becoming a good writer

573

and becoming a good speaker

574

if you can start your speech let's say like you you

575

know you're running for student council let's say uh you're you

576

want to start a podcast let's say you're trying to sell

577

a product let's say you're you're trying to get this person to do this favor for you

578

if you can make them smile and laugh you're like 99% there.

579

Okay, it doesn't require any hard words, doesn't require like fucking any cheat codes.

580

If you can make them laugh, you're there.

581

I mean, if you're not planning on becoming a good writer or a speaker, like you can just ignore everything I said today.

582

Like none of this will matter.

583

But I'm just telling you, like from my experience, Um, these things are, I believe what,

584

what made me, what made me a good writer.

585

Um, mind you, I wasn't taught these things.

586

Like people think that if you, if you have like a lit major or like, if you're a lit major and you have a lit degree or English degree or creative writing, whatever, people think that, that you,

587

you go to like these schools and, and they teach you like actionable skills.

588

totally not what happens uh the creative writing program at stanford was like you go

589

day one like minute one they're like okay um write a story and submit it

590

that's it right and you write a story

591

and uh sometimes like the the and also the uh the the instructors

592

or profs are all writers they're all like actual writers right

593

so sometimes they'll just be like you go in

594

and they'll be like talking about like something they wrote right

595

and they're like you know so or like hey there's this book

596

that i really like and they'll they'll talk about it

597

and they're like write a story and uh bring it next week right and you go next week and then like

598

you get a copy of everyone's writing and you read it

599

and then sometimes you'll people like hey anybody want to talk about Frank's story I'm like yeah I really like

600

that one part where you know you were writing about like skydiving but I'm

601

but I'm confused like what why do I like why does

602

this need to exist why does this story need to exist

603

or something like that right or something will say

604

that about my writing and then they'll be like

605

and the props like okay good you know good points

606

if you want to edit your story or do

607

so whatever this seriously what it's like and

608

and then some this one time my instructor was the class started

609

and he started crying he was like I kid you not he was like my life's a complete fucking mess

610

so I just I just I did something wrong he's like my life's a complete fucking mess right

611

and he starts talking about it I'm like I'm like how's how's this gonna help me right

612

but then it it did because I'm like oh I'm sure he's not intending this but

613

but this is fascinating like this is fascinating like a person

614

like this person is melting down in front of me right

615

and uh and

616

and what he said was crazy like it was absolutely fucking

617

crazy like I legit thought like like the authorities were going to come and take him away right away.

618

I was like, what the fuck?

619

Right?

620

But what I'm saying is, this guy was clearly living.

621

And he was clearly someone I disagree with.

622

But here's two things he did really well.

623

He made me understand what he was trying to say.

624

And he was also humorous.

625

Great fucking writer.

626

I'll see you next week on Hey Tableau.

627

Hey Tableau.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
