20
400539
10690

21
411229
10410
07:01
soggy saturday
22
421639
20780
07:22
it is soggy it's saturday and that is why i've decided to call today a soggy saturday
23
442419
7261
07:29
yeah it makes sense when you think about it it really does yes outside at the moment it
24
449680
6940
07:36
is murky damp it is also foggy as well misty outside the big question is will will we be
25
456620
12769
07:49
able to play spot the white van today because it's very misty
26
469389
9441
07:58
what do you think so when we have weather like this we often describe this as pea soup
27
478830
7920
08:06
i love this expression so when it is foggy when there is not much visibility in the distance
28
486750
8159
08:14
you might describe this as pea soup so you can describe a foggy day as being like pea
29
494909
8940
08:23
soup it looks like pea soup out there it's a foggy day have you ever heard of that expression
30
503849
8411
08:32
before it is a real expression and we do use it in english quite often when you say that
31
512260
7690
08:39
the weather is like pea soup it means it is very foggy outside here we are live across
32
519950
10920
08:50

11:04
good detective or a policeman i really do because i'm very good at watching and looking
50

and observing people especially when i meet people for the first time i don't know how
51
671459

i do it but i'm very good at working out a person's character even if i've only spoke
52
676779

to them for a few seconds even if i've only said hello and they say hello i'm already

5541
12:46
like to give you a few moments to say goodbye to each other as well because it's not just
64
766170
5029
12:51
me here you see it's you as well on the live chat so is it it isn't just about me you see
65
771199
11580
13:02
today we are talking about a very serious subject although i might have a little bit
66
782779
4381
13:07
of fun with it as well we are talking about making a confession confessing to things making
67
787160
14679
13:21
a confession it is something we have to do sometimes maybe if there is something that
68
801839
6721
13:28
we feel that we've done wrong something that we've done against another person or maybe
69
808560
6689
13:35
something that we have done but we haven't told anyone about but maybe you feel bad inside
70
815249
6931
13:42
maybe you feel bad about that particular thing we call that feeling guilt the feeling of
71
822180
9190
13:51
guilt is the feeling that you have when you've done something wrong and you know the thing
72
831370
6790
13:58
you did was wrong guilt the feeling of guilt so sometimes we believe that it's good to
73
838160
9399
14:07
confess the things that we've done if we've done something wrong something bad something
74
847559
5751
14:13
evilly shall i do that again if you've done something evil maybe you want to confess of
75
853310
14250
14:27
course in certain religions it is good to confess if i had to choose a religion to follow
76
867560
9939
14:37
and there aren't many reasons why i would follow religion because i'm not religious
77
877499
4140
14:41
you see a lot of people ask me mr duncan are you religious and i'm not but if i had a choice
78
881639
6800
14:48
i would probably be a catholic because catholics can just confess you see you could just go
79
888439
5330
14:53
along and say hello i'm ever so sorry i've done something wrong i've done something really
80
893769
6721
15:00
bad and now i have to confess this thing to you i did something really naughty yesterday
81
900490
11180
15:11
can i tell you about it and then i will confess my sin and then i will be forgiven and all
82
911670
7380
15:19
i have to do is go away and do something in the corner of my room and then i'm okay that's
83
919050
7620
15:26
it i'm clean i'm clean again so i like that i think if i was going to choose any religion
84
926670
6399
15:33
i think it would be catholicism just because of that just because you can be forgiven very
85
933069
4740
15:37
easily for anything i have some catholic friends actually and they always make fun of it you
86
937809
7650
15:45
see so even they make fun of their own religion by saying you know you can do anything you
87
945459
5790
15:51
just go to church confess and then just you know go go outside and do it all again
88
951249
11620
16:02
thank you very much oh thanks for your wishes about my mother my mother is okay she's comfortable
89
962869
6921
16:09
she hasn't got any signs of covid you'll be pleased to hear so that's good i like that
90
969790
7669
16:17
one
91
977459
1000
16:18
alessandra says mr duncan catholics have to confess confess to the priests only yes i
92
978459
10430
16:28
know that you normally have to sit inside a big wooden box like this so you normally
93
988889
6721
16:35
have to get into one of these you see and then you normally have a priest in the middle
94
995610
6159
16:41
and then people will go in and they will confess their sins you see so i think it's pretty
95
1001769
6141
16:47
good i think it's a good idea i think it's brilliant that you can go along you can tell
96
1007910
6570
16:54
all of your sins all of your confessions you can give them all over and then you can just
97
1014480
5839
17:00
skip down the road and think oh okay then brilliant very nice i'm sure i'm going to
98
1020319
8051
17:08
get a lot of people complaining about that but i do know people who are catholic you
99
1028370
4230
17:12
see i used to do a lot of work for a catholic school and even some of them would make fun
100
1032600
8310
17:20
of their own religion you see so it's not me being ignorant before anyone says anything
101
1040910
5360
17:26
oh mr duncan mr duncan you are being so ignorant i'm not it's just an interesting thought so
102
1046270
10190
17:36
i have no religion i'm not a religious person so so what happens when i do bad things
103
1056460
7180
17:43
you see who do i talk to well i normally go down to the bottom of the garden and i talk
104
1063640
4870
17:48
to one of my favourite trees you see and tell them about it and then afterwards i give my
105
1068510
5000
17:53
tree a big hug and that's it i feel better i feel lovely even if some of the birds now
106
1073510
7830
18:01
and again will poop on my head i feel that that that that might be the punishment you
107
1081340
5710
18:07
see so if i'm hugging the tree and there is a bird in the tree and it does a poop on my
108
1087050
5200
18:12
head i consider that my punishment i think so confessing to things is not easy you are
109
1092250
8530
18:20
right that's the thing you see that's why this is such an interesting subject because
110
1100780
5820
18:26
making a confession or confessing to something actually is not easy and i suppose it depends
111
1106600
7940
18:34
what you've done as well maybe you stole something from your neighbour's garden and then and
112
1114540
7019
18:41
then afterwards you feel guilty about it because you stole something so you might lie awake
113
1121559
5571
18:47
at night oh oh oh why did i do that oh
114
1127130
10450
18:57
like that you see so you will feel that you need to tell someone you need to confess so
115
1137580
12250
19:09
maybe you go around to your neighbour's house and you knock on the door and you say look
116
1149830
5920
19:15
i'm ever so sorry it was me i stole your birdbath it was me i took it because i thought it looked
117
1155750
8710
19:24
really nice and i thought it would look lovely in my garden to be honest so i decided to
118
1164460
6770
19:31
take it and i put it in my garden so so yes i confess and hopefully your neighbour will
119
1171230
8699
19:39
kind of go they will say okay that's all right uh well at least you were honest i was going
120
1179929
6841
19:46
to phone the police but at least you confessed and you told me and you decided to to be honest
121
1186770
7270
19:54
about it so i'm not going to call a police i'm not going to send you to jail for the
122
1194040
6740
20:00
rest of your life for stealing my bird bath so everything's all right so it is very similar
123
1200780
6720
20:07
and and i have in the past had to confess to things that i've done not serious things
124
1207500
6580
20:14
you know normally when you're a child you see maybe you break your mother's favourite
125
1214080
5780
20:19
ornament maybe your mother has a beautiful china pot that she keeps on top of the television
126
1219860
6949
20:26
and then one day you're playing and you're waving your arms around and you knock your
127
1226809
6671
20:33
mother's beautiful ornament off the television and it smashes and so you run away you hide
128
1233480
6630
20:40
upstairs you pretend that you know nothing about it and then your mother finds her broken
129
1240110
6850
20:46
ornament on the floor and she says who did that who who was it which one of you little
130
1246960
7900
20:54
i nearly said something really rude then can i say something really rude okay then which
131
1254860
7390
21:02
one of you little bastards did that you see there you go
132
1262250
7130
21:09
and i will say i didn't do it i didn't do it at all i'm innocent but inside i know that
133
1269380
7929
21:17
i did do it so as a child you will often do things and then you will hide them
134
1277309
7431
21:24
but later you might feel very guilty about it you might never tell your mother that it
135
1284740
5650
21:30
was you you might never own up to doing that thing you might you might keep it to yourself
136
1290390
7919
21:38
for the for the whole of your life you see so confessing is not an easy thing to do so
137
1298309
8490
21:46
so i i believe it is a courageous thing even if you've done something really bad and you
138
1306799
7130
21:53
are still willing to admit that you did it i still think there is a certain amount of
139
1313929
5261
21:59
courage in doing that even though if you did something really bad you are a complete scumbag
140
1319190
8150
22:07
but at least you you had something inside that allowed you to to actually own up and
141
1327340
6610
22:13
confess to that thing so i think it's interesting we often think of confession when we talk
142
1333950
6810
22:20
about religion and i think that is one of probably one of the good points that i would
143
1340760
5930
22:26
say about anyone who has a religious belief maybe they they feel that doing the right
144
1346690
6780
22:33
thing is the is the holy thing you see it is something good to do
145
1353470
10360
22:43
we're getting a lot of people talking now about this i didn't know this would be such
146
1363830
4490
22:48
a big topic to be honest with you hello also to ricardo yes it is it is based very much
147
1368320
11719
23:00
into into the the sense of religion so when we talk about any religion we often talk about
148
1380039
5681
23:05
truth and honesty purity so being honest quite often is is linked to to admitting the things
149
1385720
11780
23:17
you've done wrong i suppose
150
1397500
5519
23:23
oh hello mohsen in my opinion i don't care if you are religious or not religious i still
151
1403019
5540
23:28
respect you isn't that great thank you mohsin you are
152
1408559
5651
23:34
my type of person and that is it you see so even though i have no religious beliefs to
153
1414210
5480
23:39
be honest with you and it all goes back to my school days when one of my headmasters
154
1419690
5869
23:45
he would stand up in front of us and he would tell us all his stories but sometimes they
155
1425559
6000
23:51
didn't make any sense and then the following week he would stand up in front of us and
156
1431559
6090
23:57
say something else but it was the opposite to what he said the week before so children
157
1437649
7140
24:04
are actually quite clever we we can actually tell when something makes no sense even if
158
1444789
5531
24:10
we're very young so that's what happened to me when i was young so some of the things
159
1450320
4900
24:15
that i was told made no sense because sometimes they would say the opposite thing the following
160
1455220
6730
24:21
week the stories sometimes would not match up so that is the reason why i always felt
161
1461950
7170
24:29
a little sceptical even as a child even as a child
162
1469120
7630
24:36
nowadays the distinction between good and evil is not so obvious i think you're right
163
1476750
6490
24:43
yes we do live in an age where people have more freedom and i suppose that's one of the
164
1483240
6689
24:49
reasons why people fear freedom because it gives people more freedom to do things so
165
1489929
7441
24:57
yes i can i can understand that
166
1497370
6450
25:03
confessing is something in mind mankind by nature says karim karim yes i think so i think
167
1503820
8819
25:12
it's a good thing to confess something you've done so what i'm going to do today i'm going
168
1512639
5631
25:18
to confess something now to you
169
1518270
8220
25:26
mr duncan okay here is my my first confession today sometimes when i put my plastic bottles
170
1526490
8799
25:35
especially my milk bottles because you know nowadays milk always comes in plastic bottles
171
1535289
8010
25:43
sometimes i don't wash the bottle before i put it out for the recycling
172
1543299
11541
25:54
i know oh i feel so much better now i've told you that so there it is there is one of my
173
1554840
4620
25:59
confessions i will give you another one later on but that is one of my confessions sometimes
174
1559460
5240
26:04
when i'm when i'm putting my plastic bottles that have had milk inside sometimes i don't
175
1564700
6250
26:10
wash them i don't rinse the milk out
176
1570950
3160
26:14
that feels so much better i have to be honest with you oh that's great i feel so much better
177
1574110
9939
26:24
about that you see so confession can be good you can get these things off your chest the
178
1584049
6620
26:30
only thing i think about now is the poor guy who has to take my bottles and at the bottom
179
1590669
6211
26:36
of each one there is a little bit of smelly rotten milk and it's because of me that's
180
1596880
6860
26:43
it so that's it i have got that off my chest a little bit later on we will be looking at
181
1603740
7110
26:50
words expressions and ways of expressing
182
1610850
7449
26:58
the confession to confess to something is what you do okay before we do that i'm going
183
1618299
8031
27:06
to do something that might be a little risky we are going to try and play spot the white
184
1626330

185

7329
27:31
in the distance and see if you can find the white van as it drives by oh okay it is a
187
1651899
10351
27:42

209
1823730
7829
30:31
looking at confession making a confession so earlier i actually confessed to something
210
1831559
8230
30:39
what about you now i think this would be a good opportunity today for you to make your
211
1839789
8251
30:48
confession is there something that you've always wanted to say or own up to that you've
212
1848040
4660
30:52
done in the past maybe something serious or maybe something not so serious it doesn't
213
1852700
6750
30:59
have to be murder it could be something else maybe maybe you accidentally broke your next
214
1859450
8430
31:07
door neighbour's window and you never told them it was you something like that okay i
215
1867880
6210
31:14
will give you another one oh valentin says mr duncan that was a lorry that was not a
216
1874090
11910
31:26
white van that was a lorry okay
217
1886000
10309
31:36
let's just pretend we didn't see the lorry let's just pretend that we did not see the
218
1896309
3921
31:40
lorry at all
219
1900230
8760
31:48
i'm starting to wonder if they've if they've come to chop my chop my house down are they
220
1908990
5429
31:54
are they are they in the garden they sound very close confession so i have another confession
221
1914419
8281
32:02
for you once i was traveling back from london very late on a train and i was feeling quite
222
1922700
11830
32:14
hungry and unfortunately they were not selling food on the train so what i did i can't believe
223
1934530
9410
32:23
i'm telling you this i went along the carriage of the train and i found some food that someone
224
1943940
9989
32:33
else had left on the table
225
1953929
6301
32:40
can you guess what i did
226
1960230
5340
32:45
can you guess what i did so it was late at night i was on the train on my own it was
227
1965570
5810
32:51
very late i was coming back from london i was tired i was hungry
228
1971380
4570
32:55
and i walked along the train looking for some food that someone else had left can you guess
229
1975950
10069
33:06
what i did this is a really big confession this is a pretty big confession i think so
230
1986019
9031
33:15
but i will need you to also make a confession as well this is it we are all here together
231
1995050
8219
33:23
confessing you don't have to have a priest nearby you can you can confess right here
232
2003269
6770
33:30
now so there i was on the train it was late at night i was feeling hungry i walked along
233
2010039
6221
33:36
the train and i saw some food on the table
234
2016260
2970
33:39
i ate the food i ate it
235
2019230
13090
33:52
that is disgusting but it's true i did do it i actually ate some discarded food that
236
2032320
18790
34:11
someone else had left
237
2051110
1170
34:12
that is disgusting i mean you couldn't do it now could you when you think about it you
238
2052280
10139
34:22
you really wouldn't want to eat anyone's food not even someone you knew nowadays
239
2062419
8071
34:30
but i did that it was a few years ago when i was coming back from london i was i was
240
2070490
7471
34:37
just a poor boy
241
2077961
4688
34:42
sparing his life from his monstrosity
242
2082649
6071
34:48
hello anna kobe anna kobe says yes it is disgusting it's disgusting what you did mr duncan i know
243
2088720
8410
34:57
i i well that's why i have to confess you see it's a confession because it's something
244
2097130
5750
35:02
that's awful that no one else would ever say so that's why when you when you make a confession
245
2102880
7830
35:10
when you make a confession it must be something that you are revealing or maybe something
246
2110710
5220
35:15
that you are keeping to yourself that you don't want other people to know about
247
2115930
4990
35:20
edit hello edit goulet says i hate to organize my papers and bills i'm not sure if that's
248
2120920
16800
35:37
a confession that doesn't sound like a confession to me i think we all hate that don't we
249
2137720
5530
35:43
oh everyone now wants to know what what i ate
250
2143250
8310
35:51
you are really pushing me you are pushing me to the extremes today i have to confess
251
2151560
9260
36:00
to eating someone else's food that was left on a train and now you want me to tell you
252
2160820
6380
36:07
what it was ah dear gemini says so you didn't waste the food oh yes very good thank you
253
2167200
13510
36:20
very much you see there is a good thing you see a good part of that story at least the
254
2180710
6570
36:27
food was not wasted you see so i suppose i i was there and i was hungry and the food
255
2187280
9330
36:36
was there and someone else had left it so so why not why not eat some discarded food
256
2196610
7050
36:43
that a stranger had left on a train late at night why not
257
2203660
6330
36:49
what could possibly go wrong
258
2209990
8350
36:58
alessandra says was it chips no it wasn't did you know that you are not allowed to eat
259
2218340
5430
37:03
chips on a train did you know that if you take if you take some chips onto a train they
260
2223770
7990
37:11
will actually punish you they will tell you not to eat them because they stink and the
261
2231760
5220
37:16
whole of the train will smell of chips you see personally i think it's a great idea to
262
2236980
9460
37:26
eat chips on the train in fact i would eat chips anywhere
263
2246440
4170
37:30
oh i could just eat some chips right now to be honest did you have some jaffa cakes no
264
2250610
9970
37:40
unfortunately they were not jaffa cakes okay i will tell you what they were
265
2260580
6940
37:47
there was a sandwich in the packet so someone had eaten one of the sandwiches but also there
266
2267520
8470
37:55
was a packet of crisps as well so the packet of crisps was there and also a sandwich which
267
2275990
8530
38:04

275
2350340
8940
39:19
that is a that sounds like a really good confession i like that one you are officially absolved
276
2359280
12850
39:32
not that i have no authority to do that by the way
277
2372130
7170
39:39
chips and especially crisps are so nice you are right marietta even if the the crisps
278
2379300
7830
39:47
have been eaten by someone else
279
2387130
1740
39:48
not very nice at all hello to inbox hello inbox i've never seen you on my live stream
280
2388870
13880
40:02
before what an interesting name you have there so i need some more confessions please i've
281
2402750
7200
40:09
confessed to two things that i've done that i shouldn't have
282
2409950
9250
40:19
what about you do you have a confession to make hello to raja hello raja watching in
283
2419200
9340
40:28
iraq can i say hello to iraq nice to see you here today so there are many words we can
284
2428540
7090
40:35
say there are many words we can use when we are talking about making a confession so you
285
2435630
8350
40:43
confess you see you confess to the thing that you did that was wrong confess maybe if a
286
2443980
10599
40:54
criminal or maybe someone who is a suspect is sitting in the police station they might
287
2454579
8141
41:02
decide to confess to their crimes so they admit what they did they confess they admit
288
2462720
12889
41:15
what they did so if you confess something you admit admit you say i did it i did i was
289
2475609
11212
41:26
on the train late at night and i saw the food on the table and i was feeling hungry and
290
2486821
5069
41:31
i couldn't resist
291
2491890
4360
41:36
eating the food
292
2496250
2900
41:39
i admit it another way of describing that is to own up you own up to something if you
293
2499150
8201
41:47
own up to something it means you confess you admit you own up maybe in the classroom at
294
2507351
8639
41:55
school maybe the teacher wants to know who stole all of the pens
295
2515990
6750
42:02
and maybe you did it so you have to put your hand up and you have to say excuse me miss
296
2522740
9500
42:12
i've decided that i must own up i've decided to confess to admit i own up so if you own
297
2532240
10170
42:22
up to something it means you admit that you did it you admit that you were responsible
298
2542410
10510
42:32
to show guilt i suppose so yes you show guilt so you are showing other people that you did
299
2552920
7649
42:40
that thing you shouldn't have done it but you did you did do it you show guilt some
300
2560569
8661
42:49
people of course can try to hide something but they still look guilty so a person might
301
2569230
10460
42:59
try to lie about the thing that they did or didn't do
302
2579690
4889
43:04
but they still show it on their face so some people some people are really bad liars so
303
2584579
6881
43:11
if you do something wrong and you are not very good at lying my advice is to confess
304
2591460
6869
43:18
admit own up you must show your guilt even if you didn't intend to show your guilt some
305
2598329
9780
43:28
people will appear to be guilty even if they want to hide what they've done
306
2608109
9081
43:37
you decide to come clean if you come clean over something it means that you decide that
307
2617190
8720
43:45
you are going to own up you are going to admit what you did you are going to confess the
308
2625910
7770
43:53
thing that you did you come clean i think it's time to come clean and tell you exactly
309
2633680
8090
44:01
what happened so today i decided to come clean and tell you about my strange behaviour when
310
2641770
9559
44:11
i am preparing my recycling i don't wash my plastic milk bottles i always leave a little
311
2651329
8811
44:20
bit of smelly milk in the bottom and also i once ate discarded food on a train at night
312
2660140
11880
44:32
you come clean
313
2672020
5670
44:37
i am enjoying the sound effects today
314
2677690
6169
44:43
it seems to be getting closer is it my imagination or does it seem to be getting closer
315
2683859
7740
44:51
in law you might decide to plead guilty if you plead guilty then it means you are owning
316
2691599
8491
45:00
up you are confessing to the thing that you've done wrong you plead guilty normally if you
317
2700090
5670
45:05
are charged with doing something you might go to court and you might plead guilty or
318
2705760
8329
45:14
not guilty so the word guilty means you are responsible you are the person who did it
319
2714089
7881
45:21
you are the culprit oh i like that word culprit so a culprit is a person that is responsible
320
2721970
8670
45:30
for doing something bad culprit i like that
321
2730640
6330
45:36
so you plead guilty you decide to admit that you did something wrong
322
2736970

45:58
when i was six or seven says marietta i took a coin from my mother's purse to buy some
324
2758660
7120
46:05
chewing gum without her noticing how guilty i felt my gosh my gosh indeed so did you ever
325
2765780
13279
46:19
tell your mother that you did it did you ever admit did you ever come clean did you ever
326
2779059
9161
46:28
admit or own up to your your crime here's another one when you can you you confess to
327
2788220
9859
46:38
something you make a confession we can say that you make a clean breast you make a clean
328
2798079
5911
46:43
breast you release your burden your feeling of guilt no longer exists because you have
329
2803990
10810
46:54
confessed you make a clean breast it means you admit that you were wrong or maybe you
330
2814800
8140
47:02
admit that you did something wrong or did something bad so when you make a confession
331
2822940
5970
47:08
you make a clean breast very nice you are willing to take the blame especially if you
332
2828910
9100
47:18
are responsible for doing something wrong or bad so yes you can take the blame for it
333
2838010
7839
47:25
you decide to take the blame you admit responsibility of course sometimes it is possible to take
334
2845849
10831
47:36
the blame for something when you didn't do it maybe you are trying to protect another
335
2856680
6140
47:42
person so maybe you take the blame or you confess to doing something that you didn't
336
2862820
6759
47:49
actually do but you do it to protect another person it does happen quite often you are
337
2869579
7720
47:57
willing to carry the can for someone if you carry the can for someone it means you are
338
2877299
7181
48:04
willing to make responsibility or take responsibility for your actions you have decided to take
339
2884480
9650
48:14
the burden of responsibility you carry the can you have decided to admit your guilt or
340
2894130
13479
48:27
your responsibility for doing something bad ah now this is something we mentioned earlier
341
2907609
9190
48:36
and i might show my little picture again yes this is the picture that i showed you earlier
342
2916799
6250
48:43
and this is something called a confession box quite often found in catholic churches
343
2923049
9671
48:52
so you'll find there is a box that you can go into and during certain periods of time
344
2932720
6829
48:59
there will be a priest sitting inside the box fortunately you can't be seen so your
345
2939549
6631
49:06
face is hidden so it you can go in there you can you could admit your sin and then you
346
2946180
9200
49:15
will be absolved you will be forgiven you have to go away and make a penance penance
347
2955380
7340
49:22
so it is a sort of punishment for the thing that you've admitted to so you look for absolution
348
2962720
8149
49:30
when we say absolution you are being absolved you are being forgiven for your sin interesting
349
2970869
9721
49:40

luis mendes oh hello luis mendes mendes in my childhood i made my first communion and
363
3085890
8459
51:34
i had to make my confession and the priests the priest absolved me but i had to make some
364
3094349
6591
51:40
prayers and give one escudo which is portuguese currency to santo antonio yes there is normally
365
3100940
13909
51:54
something you must do you see so if you are going to church to be absolved normally there
366
3114849
7691
52:02
is something you must do in return for your absolution i think so i seem to know a lot
367
3122540
8420
52:10
about this have you noticed
368
3130960
4770
52:15
and i'm not even religious very strange ah here is a good one i like this one this is
369
3135730
7230
52:22
one of my favourite expressions in english to get it off your chest to get something
370
3142960
7909
52:30
off your chest is to admit responsibility you decide that you can't hold the guilt any
371
3150869
10011
52:40
longer i have to confess i have to get it off my chest so to get something of your chest
372
3160880
7120
52:48
is to confess you admit to doing something you decide that you no longer want to keep
373
3168000
7049
52:55
the burden of guilt inside you need to tell someone you have to get it off your chest
374
3175049
6731
53:01
i like that one
375
3181780
5309
53:07

377
3194490
13359
53:27
the living room on fire yeah that does seem a bit serious i i think burning your house
378
3207849
8200
53:36
down even if you nearly burnt your house down i think that is serious but did you own up
379
3216049
9111
53:45
did you admit responsibility for it or did your parents just come back and find the living
380
3225160
7060
53:52
room smouldering i don't know but that's a good one i like that one hello jude [ __ ] alisa

382
3243990
7690
54:11

5770
54:17
admit your sins my son
384
3257450
2200
54:19
oh dear
385
3259650
7820
54:27
my confession is when i was a kid we had two books for mathematics and i forgot my first
386
3267470
5579
54:33
book and i took out my second book and the teacher believed it oh i see
387
3273049
10591
54:43
huh okay so you made the teacher believe that the book you had in your hand was the other
388
3283640
8179
54:51
book and he believed you i don't think that's very serious we all do that sometimes we all
389
3291819
7240
54:59
do things normally to save our own skin you see so quite often we do bad things or we
390
3299059
7221
55:06
do things that might be seen as sinful sometimes to save ourselves maybe from punishment or
391
3306280
10360
55:16
maybe from blame it can happen
392
3316640
4540
55:21
vitoria says luckily my father managed to put the fire out
393
3321180
13389
55:34
that sounds about right
394
3334569
4671
55:39
hello uh mum dad i think i think i set fire to the house i think i think i might i might
395
3339240
9430
55:48
have started a fire in the living room
396
3348670
2129
55:50
oh dear alessandra
397
3350799
7071
55:57
there are some great comments coming by the way today i i love your comments thank you
398
3357870
8730
56:06
very much i'm going to read them all later i'm going to read all of your lovely comments
399
3366600
4749
56:11
later oh here's another one another way of showing that you are looking for forgiveness
400
3371349
8411
56:19
perhaps you will confess you will have to face the music if you face the music it means
401
3379760
8350
56:28
you have to admit responsibility and also you have to accept your punishment as well
402
3388110
9350
56:37
so if we say that a person has to face the music it means
403
3397460
12149
56:49
it means you have to accept whatever the punishment may be so whatever the punishment is you must
404
3409609
8071
56:57
face the music you admit responsibility and now you must accept your punishment you have
405
3417680
8391
57:06
to face the music here's another one you have to take the wrap oh i like this one now it's
406
3426071
10718
57:16
very interesting that the word rap can you see it there the word rap means to hit punish
407
3436789
10851
57:27
to to punch someone so in its basic form the word rap just means beat or to punish to punch
408
3447640
13469
57:41
hit so if you take the rap you are actually saying that you are taking the punishment
409
3461109
6811
57:47
you are willing to take the punishment very similar to face the music so if you face the
410
3467920
6639
57:54
music or if you take the rap it means you are facing your punishment you are willing
411
3474559
6451
58:01
to take the punishment
412
3481010
5990
58:07
i can't believe that all of the noise around me it sounds like i'm in the garden and i'm
413
3487000
5270
58:12
not in the garden that's the weird thing we are going in a minute by the way oh by the
414
3492270
6190
58:18
way tomorrow we are supposed to get some snow here in england tomorrow so we might have
415
3498460
6780
58:25
some snow to look at outside the window
416
3505240
3170
58:28
our final word for confession is to accept the consequences so you accept the consequences
417
3508410
13419
58:41
of your action you do something wrong or you did something wrong and now you have to accept
418
3521829
6831
58:48
the consequences because of course all actions have a reaction all things that are done normally
419
3528660
8970
58:57
have some consequence
420
3537630
9340
59:06
fatty zito says what about the confession's impact on the audience do you mean you or
421
3546970
8879
59:15
do you mean generally i don't know well maybe my confessions the confessions that i've given
422
3555849
5831
59:21
today i've made two big confessions today
423
3561680
6849
59:28
so i think i've been very brave indeed so you must accept the consequences if you do
424
3568529
6661
59:35
something wrong if you do something bad and you feel guilty about it i suppose it is good
425
3575190
10149
59:45
for your well-being for your mental health and maybe for your soul to make a confession
426
3585339
10571
59:55
maybe maybe not i will be back with you tomorrow by the way yes we are back tomorrow and it
427
3595910
7149
60:03

428
3603059

uk time back tomorrow from 2pm uk time is when we are back
433
3638880
7080
60:45
asmir says i really like it when we confess about our sins it makes us more comfortable
434
3645960
9970
60:55
and and releases ourselves from our previous mistakes i think it is something useful psychologically
435
3655930
11040
61:06
well i think i think if you own up to something or if you admit something i think it is a
436
3666970
5809
61:12
good thing because it can make the other person feel better if you have done something wrong
437
3672779
5381
61:18
to another person you see it might make them feel better for example your neighbour from
438
3678160
8680
61:26
whom you stole his birdbath you see you stole their bird bath so now you admit that you
439
3686840
7620
61:34
did it so they feel better because now they have their bird bath back and i feel better
440
3694460
6080
61:40
because i admitted that i did it you see so everyone wins i think i am back with you tomorrow
