Both of us.
8
Okay, my best impression.
9
Okay.
10
- What?
11
- There's so many.
12
- Just me.
13
- Just you.
14
- It is authentic me.
15
- Okay.
16
I don't want to be stinky.
17
That's crazy.
18
Oh, okay.
19
It was at the end of the question.
20
I have to do one of these.
21
Okay, go.
22
Hey guys, it's me.
23
We're on a date.
24
We're doing this.
25
It's so fun.
26
Thanks for coming.
27
No way.
28
Not this at the end anymore.
29
You don't do that anymore.
30
I don't do that anymore.
31
It has been a while.
32
It has been a while.
33
That's so funny.
34
Good job.
35
Okay, when do you feel closest to me and why?
36
- Mmm.
37
- This is a good-- y 'all got the questions.
38
- When do I feel closest to you?
39
- Bye.
40
I think I feel honestly, For sure my answer.
41
I feel closest to you like right after we have some sort of like uncomfortable interaction, like a disagreement or altercation.
42
And when we like take our time and we talk through it, we wrestle through it, like those moments where like,
43
finally all that tension is released and we know we're like, poll again and we're fine and we're on good terms.
44
Things are forgiven.
45
I feel so close to you.
46
-Yeah.
47
We did it.
48
Thank you.
49
Okay.
50
What's the special thing in me that brings out the beautiful thing in you?
51
- Wow.
52
I'm getting emotional, unfortunately.
53
- That's okay.
54
- I think the special thing in you, oh my gosh.
55
- It's coming fast.
56
- Is your kindness.
57
I think that brings out like such a softer like more kind side of me.
58
I feel like you really just like let me know like how safe I am.
59
like through your kindness and sometimes like, and I don't know if like I'm projecting or what, but like, It's not that I'm like surprised at your kindness,
60
but it's always so refreshing to be met with like your,
61
Kindness, like that is like a superpower that you have is like your kindness like I feel like, being met with your kindness,
62
like always like, I'm like, ah, yeah.
63
Yeah, this is my boy.
64
- - I love you so much.
65
I love you so much.
66
I love you more.
67
No you don't.
68
It's my pleasure to be kind to you.
69
You're incredible.
70
You're one of a kind.
71
My treasure.
72
Thank you.
73
Yeah.
74
Okay.
75
What do you feel we are hesitant to talk about and why?
76
Ooh.
77
- Bye.
78
I still think...
79
- I don't think incredibly hesitant, but I still think there is some hesitancy on two subjects.
80
Okay, right?
81
I think still like I I think less so money than it used to be.
82
I think before it was like, and I just know, it's a sensitive topic, right?
83
So I think there still is sometimes like a...
84
a hesitancy to really like get into like money or like financial planning when it comes to the future, blah, blah, blah.
85
But more than that, I think is the still the like, ways that we differ in our belief system, and viewing the world.
86
I mean, you've met my mom, that's when I was raised like under that's what I was raised to believe and how I navigate the world,
87
where there's a lot of things like Um...
88
like humility, like humbling yourself, not assuming that you're like the center of the universe, and just like being grateful, understanding that you're imperfect, things like that.
89
And I know the way you were raised, there's like some, and the way that you think about the world,
90
there's some differences and sometimes you'll say things and I'm kind of like, "Eh." Like...
91
I guess.
92
- Give me an example.
93
- Like, um...
94
Let's see.
95
Okay.
96
Thank you.
97
I think like And this is I wouldn't say it's something I disagree with.
98
Like we've talked about with the differences we have on the subject.
99
A lot of it is just different ways of saying the same thing.
100
Right.
101
And I wouldn't say I'm like anti this, but like a lot of the like, Um.. if I just focus on what I want so,
102
so, so hard, I'll get what I want.
103
which I know has the subtext of like, unless there's something else that's better in store for me that I didn't even think of.
104
Right?
105
And for me, Like...
106
That's something that I sometimes hesitate to get into with you, because that's not necessarily always what I believe.
107
Because you can want, like for me, like my understanding of this is like you can want things for yourself that you think are good,
108
but maybe like actually have like unintended consequences or they're not good for you long term.
109
Right.
110
Like.
111
you can like want like a ton of money or like a huge house, a bunch of cars.
112
Right.
113
But it's like there's plenty of people that have all those things that are super unhappy and sometimes more money, more problems.
114
And so I think for me, I hesitate to talk about this because like, I'm not fully sold on like the...
115
I'll get what I want if I just like really like do all of the mental work.
116
Because like for me and how I think about the world, it's like, I'm not like...
117
It's not about what I want.
118
It's just about like what the plan is, if that makes sense.
119
I get that.
120
I feel like I feel like to go that kind of goes hand in hand with like believing in God and everything,
121
I feel like there are things that are put on your heart that you want for a reason.
122
So if, and you know, like we have intuition, which is knowledge from within, which is like the only way I can have this knowledge from within is if source gave it to me.
123
I'm not getting knowledge like from outside.
124
So if I have this intuition that's like, okay, well, this is something that I want.
125
I was given that. by God.
126
- Sure.
127
- So, it's like, from like my belief and my understanding, if I was given this thing, if I was, if this want was put on my heart,
128
the difference is like, how it's gonna come to you.
129
Like, it might not be like in the way that you want, but the outcome is the same.
130
- Right.
131
- You know?
132
- I think I agree to an extent.
133
But I think it's also hard to delineate, because it's not like, how do you determine, like, what's an original thought versus like, that's something that was put on your heart.
134
Like, and especially, it makes it tricky, because it's like, you can have something that's like that you think is like put on your heart that you like want really bad.
135
But there's like tons of examples.
136
tons of instances throughout our lives where like we think we want something
137
so bad and we like really are convinced it's good for us
138
and blah blah blah and then it like doesn't pan out
139
and you're like well if this was put on my heart and i like
140
And it was put on my heart for a reason and like for like my good or for a purpose.
141
Like, like, what was the point of this not working out?
142
So I think it's hard, but it's like anything, right?
143
It's like you can believe in God, you can be like, you can practice whatever belief system you have, and it's not always going to pan out.
144
But I think like going back to the question, like, I think it's good that we continue to get into this, and we will.
145
I know us. But, um...
146
I'm also okay if we see If our thought process - Revolving this topic is not, like, parallel means, like, we're in sync.
147
I'm okay if it's, personally, I'm okay if it's not parallel, but it's, like, close enough.
148
Like, I don't think it should be perpendicular, but if we're, like, semi -aligned, And there's no, there's like nothing like foundational where I'm just like,
149
that's bogus or you're like, that's bogus.
150
I don't see a problem.
151
We don't have to be 100 % on the same page.
152
Yeah.
153
That's fine.
154
Like you, you have your way of life that works for you.
155
I have mine that works for me and I think those can coexist.
156
Yeah.
157
Yeah.
158
- Talked about that for an hour.
159
- We talked about it for the perfect amount of time.
160
- We did, baby.
161
- We're good.
162
Mm -hmm.
163
-Hm.
164
When have you seen me the most vulnerable?
165
And what did it teach you about caring for me?
166
I know what you're going to say.
167
When have I seen you the most Thank you.
168
- What did I teach you about caring for me?
169
- The first thing that comes to mind is when your mom came in town.
170
Oh, that's not what I was thinking.
171
What were you thinking?
172
Hawaii.
173
- That was good, but see, you were like, in tears with your mom.
174
- Yeah.
175
- You know, Hawaii was absolutely, like you were vulnerable, but I think there were still some walls up when we were talking in Hawaii personally.
176
Like knowing you now, I feel like there were a bit of walls up.
177
But yeah, the most vulnerable I think is when your mom came to town and you were like sad.
178
This is like when she came for Thanksgiving.
179
- Was it?
180
- Or was it after she left?
181
- It's when she came and when you were sad, you were like, I feel like I need me.
182
- And I had to go talk to her.
183
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
184
- Yeah.
185
- Yeah.
186
'Cause you haven't seen me cry a whole lot.
187
A couple times.
188
I've seen you cry at like a handful.
189
The barn.
190
When we were at that barn?
191
Girl.
192
That was also one of the most vulnerable times.
193
That was crazy. That liquor.
194
The emotions, the love.
195
That was crazy.
196
And I can't imagine You just like sober, like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
197
I got you, but whoa, whoa, whoa.
198
- Of course not.
199
No, I want all the tears.
200
- Oh my God.
201
- Put 'em on me.
202
What does it taught me about caring for you?
203
- Yeah.
204
- Okay.
205
I feel like you're someone that appreciates honesty.
206
Hmm.
207
I mean, who doesn't?
208
But I mean like actual like, hey, he kind of did this wrong.
209
Like, you should go fix that, you know?
210
And I think in that moment, just like kind of ripping the bandit off and being like, hey, Like, especially 'cause earlier on in that day,
211
I had talked to her about her past relationships, you know?
212
- Right.
213
- And...
214
So yeah, it's just like, hey look, this is a chance for you to X, Y, and Z.
215
Well, yeah.
216
Yeah, I'm glad.
217
I'm glad you stepped in.
218
Me too.
219
Glad you said something.
220
I'm glad too.
221
And yeah, it wasn't-- "Yeah, I came to you and was like, Dude.
222
I mean, I knew like you're telling me what I do, which is why it struck such a strong chord.
223
Yeah.
224
Yeah.
225
Yeah.
226
Yeah.
227
Yeah.
228
Okay.
229
No. What's the greatest lesson you've learned from our biggest fight?
230
Thank you.
231
Um...
232
- Thank you.
233
- Yeah.
234
You know how we're always like, it's you and me versus the problem, not me versus you.
235
I think that's like, Um...
236
That's where I really saw that, oh no, we both actually believe that, and it's not a cutesy thing that we say.
237
Yeah, we just, we both like, Because you know how it used to be, like anytime we'd have any sort of friction, I would just be like, you're right, I'm so sorry I messed up.
238
My bad, my bad, my bad.
239
It was always just like, okay, like, let's, let's just get on the other side of this
240
and I'll just be like the bigger person and just admit it was my fault, whatever it is.
241
And this was like, no, no, no, no, I'm, I'm pissed off.
242
And I'm gonna let you know why even like understand that like, that's just how I'm feeling.
243
It may not be like, Like it may not be right, it may be wrong, but Bob, it's valid.
244
I'm gonna share it with you.
245
Even though like you were the one who sort of initiated the conversation and had feelings hurt.
246
So I think bringing it back, The lesson, the greatest lesson that I learned from that is like, that we both really do care about each other,
247
like more than being right.
248
And that I think we have built a good system for handling conflict.
249
And in the future, if hard situations come up, I'm really confident in our ability to work through them.
250
Yeah, me too.
251
So I think our communication is like top tier.
252
I agree.
253
- Yeah.
254
- From like day one, and it just keeps getting better.
255
- Yeah.
256

Thank you.
301
- All right, my friends.
302
Well, just some quick questions before we let you go here.
303
How was it, how are you feeling after the fact?
304
After the and?
305
It was okay.
306
I feel like we took a bath.
307
Like I just feel like - I feel so refreshed and cleansed and like - - Yeah, it was a lot of fun.
308
Okay, cleansed though.
309
Tell me more about that.
310
What is the experience of feeling cleansed?
311
I guess just diving into some conversations that I think we're open to having, but we don't jump at the opportunity to have.
312
And I think it's made us realize, oh, we can easily get into this more and it'll be fine.
313
So it's refreshing to know that.
314
- I agree.
315
- You think so?
316
- Yeah.
317
- Cool.
318
- I do think so.

Boost Your English Speaking with This Heartfelt Conversation
Speaking Goals for This Clip
This video is perfect for practicing natural conversational flow and emotional expression—key milestones for fluency. Whether you’re prepping for IELTS speaking practice or just want to sound more like a native, the casual back-and-forth here helps you master how to respond spontaneously, ask follow-up questions, and share personal feelings. It’s also great for shadow speech (repeating phrases aloud to mimic rhythm and tone), a proven technique to improve fluency.
Phrase Bank: Reusable Expressions from the Dialogue
- “I'm getting emotional, unfortunately.” (Expressing vulnerability naturally)
- “Do your best impression of me.” (Playful request in casual settings)
- “It has been a while.” (Acknowledging time passing)
- “We wrestle through it.” (Describing working through a problem together)
- “All that tension is released.” (Talking about resolving conflict)
These phrases work in daily chats, interviews, or even IELTS speaking practice—they add authenticity to your speech!
Fix Your Weak Spots: Pronunciation & Rhythm Tips
The dialogue’s relaxed tone highlights connected speech (e.g., “y 'all got the questions” instead of “you all got the questions”) and reduced forms (e.g., “It's so fun” vs. “It is so fun”). To improve English pronunciation, focus on mimicking the speakers’ light, conversational rhythm—don’t over-enunciate. Try shadowspeak (repeating lines right after the speakers) to nail the natural pauses and emphasis, especially in emotional moments like “I feel so close to you.” This will make your speech sound more fluid and native-like.
Ready to practice? Hit play, pause, and repeat—you’ll be mastering real-world English in no time!
Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
