🌟⭐ MAKE A WISH ⭐🌟 - ENGLISH ADDICT - episode 265 - LIVE CHAT - SUNDAY 22nd OCTOBER 2023

And there it

the answer to today's countdown question.

The answer is paper.

You can have paper chase paper money, paper, plane

and also paper tiger as well.

Hello, everyone.

We are back live on the Internet.

Hello.

This is much Wenlock calling Planet Earth.

Can you hear us now?

We're back.

We are here.

We are back together again.

it's so nice to be with you once again.

Hi, everybody.

This is Mr. Duncan and Mr. Steve.

Mr. Steve. He can't wait.

He can't wait to start.

He's been restless all morning asking me, when are we going to be on Mr.

Duncan? Are we on yet?

Are we on yet?

And yes, we are now on.

Mr. Steve, how are you today?

I'm very well, thank you. Yes.

you're having a good day.

Yes, I'm having a good day.

I've got lots of jobs done today.

I have my little my list of jobs to do.

This is something Steve does very well. And I don't do.

I never do this.

I never make lists or things that I have to do.

I never write them down.

Probably because I'm rather lazy.

I find that if I write things down that I want to get done, I get them done.

Because particularly if I do it the night before.

So I like to do it when I'm before I go to bed.

And what do I want to do tomorrow? What jobs need doing?

It can be simple things like, you know, phone

a friend phoned somebody, you know.

Yes. John or something.

John But it just reminds me to do these if I think it's sometimes the silly things,

but I just write them all down, said five or six things, I'd like to cross them off.

It makes me feel like I've achieved something.

Yes, during the day.

I think that is actually a very good point because achieving things so making a list

will guarantee that the next day

you will at least achieve something by doing the things that are on the list.

I like them. You know what? I should do that more often?

I think so.

It might be, you know, make bread today or it could be.

It could be.

I need to take something round to a neighbour.

So I've written that down to remind me.

Change underwear.

Change underwear? Yes. Wash is

it could be anything.

But I just like to write them down.

And then I feel as though I've achieved something.

I think what you like to do is cross them off of it.

I think Steve enjoys crossing the things off as he does them.

It gives him some sort of satisfaction.

Well.

you're wearing your ring today.

Which ring? this one. Yes.

Good. I like doing that. Yeah, I do.

I do it a lot at work because I don't know where I picked it up.

I think.

I think it was probably work that said, you know, if you want to achieve

I make make five appointments with customers today or whatever.

But yes, I find it works and I get lots done that way.

Sometimes I feel a bit pressured.

But like, for example, I want you to repot the Amira.

Okay, I don't think I've got time now.

We got time.

No, hurry up, Mr.

Duncan, You've come to pass me a tissue, please.

We're only until three and we have a lot of things to do. So.

So anyway, Steve likes making lists.

That's it. And is what we plan. Yes. Okay, Steve,

That is what we've learned.

What do you want now?

A tissue, please.

A tissue.

A tissue.

Tissue. A tissue We all fall down. Is. Is.

Thank you. For

some reason, Mr.

Steve has mucus coming out of his head for some reason.

Anyway, today we are talking about something

because everyone is so depressed and miserable at the moment.

I think we should have something nice.

So today we are looking at a lovely thing.

We are looking at making wishes or having a wish.

In fact, I'm going to make a wish right now.

It didn't come true.

Unfortunately.

Well, that's not true.

Can you guess what I was wishing for?

You wished that I wasn't here on the livestream with you right now, Mr.

Duncan, I think I thought you were wishing I would never wish that.

Maybe you were wishing that you weren't married.

No, I would never wish that.

I think you wish that because you keep forgetting to wear the ring.

I difficult to say, but anyway, Steve, move on, Move on, move on.

Mr. Duncan, don't waste time than an hour.

Okay? Calm down.

Goodness me.

I wish you could see Mr.

Steve when he's not doing this.

He's as miserable as anything.

Anyway, Enough badness. Today.

We want happiness.

So if you could wish for anything, what would it be?

We'll be asking that question a little bit later on.

Also from today,

we are doing something special until the end of this month.

Guess what we're doing?

We are doing live streams

every day between now and the 31st.

Don't worry, Steve, Not you.

You don't have to be here every day for the 22nd,

which is today until the 31st of October.

I'm with you every day live.

What are you saying, Mr. Duncan?

I'm doing a live stream every day.

People will be able to watch you every day until the end of this month.

So not only today, but also tomorrow and the day after that

and the day after that secondary third and fourth.

Vincent, you need to add that to

Thursday, September 831 day.

Yes. It says there on the screen. yes.

All right.

I'm just exaggerating.

Nine days for those wondering.

So nine days of live streams.

And the reason why we're doing that, of course, on the 31st

on that particular day, we are celebrating

17 years on YouTube.

So every single day I am with you.

So I will be with you tomorrow as well.

We are only doing one hour today, just 60 minutes,

or should I say 50 minutes, because we only have 50 minutes left.

We are making wishes yesterday.

Goodness me. We've had some terrible weather, haven't we?

We've had a lot of rain, Mr. Duncan.

We've had about a month's rain in about two days.

Yeah, well, I think it was more than that.

I think it was about six weeks rain, six weeks worth of rain

in 24 hours because it really did rain.

And would you like to see the result of that rain?

Well, guess what?

You are going to see it right now.

my goodness.

So there is or there it was on the screen,

that was just incredible.

We've had so much rain.

Everyone is floating around. We were worried.

We were quite concerned, in fact, that the house

was going to float away because we had so much rain.

So now now, you know, we've had a lot of rain.

But when we woke up, I looked outside at the back of the house

and the water was coming off the fields

on top of we've got like a patio area at the back.

And because the drain, if there was, it couldn't there was so much water it couldn't go down the drains.

It was literally flowing down the side of the house everywhere.

So it was a little, you know, thought, well, it's going to undermine the

water, the foundations of the house.

But we were all right anyway. We're still here.

The house is still standing. Just about.

Yes. So. So everything is all right.

we have the lovely view.

That is the live view, looking at the back and you can see everything is lovely today.

It's quite nice.

So no rain today.

We are looking at the live chat as well.

If you want to say hello, don't forget maybe if the live chat

is not showing on your screen now, you might have to refresh the page.

That is always a tip, you see.

So if it isn't playing a live chat,

you might have to refresh your page.

Hello, Vitesse.

nice to see you here today.

Vitesse. Wow.

So Rosa talking if wishing to just do the.

Yeah, go on. Congratulations, Steve.

The task is always very quick for these typing.

It has a fast finger, but we were talking about wishes.

Wishes is the theme of today's livestream.

Rose's wish is that she would be

first in the live stream, so that's Rose's wish.

So it's very hard. You've got to have a very fast finger.

If there's one thing I've noticed, Vitesse has a very fast finger.

What do you do?

I don't know how much you have to keep typing all the time in anticipation of you coming online.

That does it work.

because I don't activate the live stream

before I come on, I activate it after.

So everyone has the same chance, you see.

So what's to me? I don't know.

I think you just have to sit there

and be ready and that's it.

So as soon as it comes up, that's it.

As soon as the live stream starts.

But even then, I don't start the live chat straight away

so everyone can join at the same time.

And they also have the same chance of being first.

So I always try to make that is fair as I possibly can.

Maybe you could, maybe you could write something out, copy and paste it.

Does it work and then be ready?

No, no, you could have it.

No, you can have a word document open and then as soon as it opens, you can copy and paste it in.

Bang Press enter. And there you are.

So that's the tip, right?

But you still you've got to know when I've activated it. So.

So if everyone did it, it would probably be no different.

So. So your chances of being first on the live chat

are the same as everyone else's, so there's no cheating taking place for those worrying.

There is nothing strange going on.

Valentin is here.

Palmira, Olga, we have Beatrice.

Beatrice, are you still in the mountains?

I think she is because she says she's very tired

and this is only the beginning.

But I am looking ahead.

Like you told me.

She's saying to Luis. Yes, he was also here today.

Be positive.

hello to Luis Mendez.

Zeke is here. Our here.

macias here as well.

Stefano, Inaki, Richard and Rosa.

We mentioned to Tiki, we mentioned, I think this is some of the same people,

somebody from Poland as well earlier who I wanted to say.

Tim one Christina is on her bike.

She is.

She is on her bike.

She's probably in the mountains as well.

She likes her bike, so she's going to watch it later.

I'm Marius from Poland.

Hello, big hello to you, too.

And shit.

And that's it.

Time for any more.

We have a lot of light around today because the sun has decided to come out.

I think it's because we are on the live stream.

I think that's what it is.

Don't forget tomorrow I am with you live.

I'm with you live every day Between now

and the 31st of October because we are celebrating

17 years on YouTube.

I can't believe it.

I can't. Don't forget to give me a like by the way.

Or else.

Or else I will cry.

I will spend the rest of today crying.

He does. It's true.

It's I will be weeping my little eyes.

I have to console you, don't I?

If you don't get lots of likes, that would be nice.

I have to spend.

Think of me.

Think if me and what I have to do to bring Mr.

Duncan's mood up to the rest of the day if he doesn't get lots of likes.

Well, I'll tell you what, Mr. Steve.

It's a burden on me. So do it for me to do it for Mr.

Do it for me, sir. I don't to spend the rest of the day.

it's all right, Mr. Duncan.

They do like you. Really, They do. It's just.

It's just that they forget. That's what it is.

I've got notes.

All right, Mr. Duncan. So make you a cup of tea.

You never do that. I do. I always make you a cup of tea.

After that, I stream that.

Yes, but could you put less poison in it next time?

We are making wishes today.

Would you like to make a wish, Mr. Steve?

You can make one right now.

Make a wish now.

Right. Done it.

It was pretty predictable.

I've got to say.

It was quite a predictable wish.

As soon as you said make a wish, a picture of something came

immediately into my mind.

It was big.

It was Steve.

Yeah, right.

Yeah. Something came immediately into my mind.

Can you guess what it was?

No. Well, you asked me to wish, and I don't want to know what it is.

I don't want to know.

What is it?

Because you're not supposed to tell people what their wish is.

You're not supposed to anyway.

That's what we're talking about today. We're talking about wishes. Yes.

Valentine feels like

making wishes today.

Something nice to talk about.

What did Valentine say?

Well, it begins with what is it?

A letter that say it's a type of horse.

America. What's that? Doesn't make any sense.

You mean a car?

Yes, It's a car, but it's named after a sort of a powerful horse.

Is it?

Yes, But why a mustang?

Yes, it's. It's a horse, isn't it? Why they.

Well, that was my wish.

No. Well, why is it called a mustang?

Why is the horse go the Mustang?

Why is that?

Why is the Mustang.

Yes. Well, because it's a horse, a big galloping horse.

So it's it's basically saying it's got lots of horsepower, lots of horsepower, lots of energy.

Yeah, you could be right there.

Mr. Duncan, what is a what is a horse power, anyway?

Well, I.

It's supposed to be both the power of a horse to pull something that doesn't.

But what not?

Is it in strength?

Is. Is there a measurement of horsepower?

Yeah.

So when we say that a car has so much horsepower, what is the measurement?

The unit of horsepower?

I don't know. Actually, that's a very good question, Mr.

Jenkinson Very good question.

You I'm shocked.

Can I just say there's not much horsepower.

It's probably pounds per foot or something.

I don't know

how many who use Go, click, click, click, click.

I don't actually I did.

I did used to never have forgotten.

I think you see it's the the amount of power needed to pull something.

And I thought you would know that.

Well, I did know, but I've forgotten. Okay.

I mean, in in other parts of the world, in the UK

and the US, we measure the power of cars in HP's.

But I don't think they do in Europe.

I think it's probably Newton metres per some.

I don't know if somebody can tell us

if there's one thing we've learned from what you've just said, you don't know.

But I didn't mean to put you on the spot by the way.

I think that's just right. I just thought, you know, So what is horse?

If anyone out there has Google,

you can Google Horsepower doesn't have it.

You can Google horsepower and tell us

what is horsepower, What is it?

What does it refer to?

Does it refer to the amount of hooves I know it's about?

Well, maybe it.

No, I'm not so sure you can pull.

yes, I guess that I guess because I suppose

it comes from the time when horses used to pull things.

I think so. So I think that's what it is.

dear.

So if anyone knows what horsepower actually is, what the measurement is, please let us know.

Yes, I wish. Yes, I am with you.

I am with you tomorrow as well. Will I survive?

I don't know.

So every day between now and the 31st, we are.

Well, unfortunately.

Can I just point out that Steve won't be with us every day because he now has a job?

He's working his way under the cosh.

Yeah. Okay.

As we say, I've got my nose to the grindstone of you.

I'm on the treadmill. I'm.

Yeah. Am anymore.

I can't think of any other anecdotes from you've got

you've got your shoulder to the growing grindstone shoulders the grindstone. Yes.

Under the cosh.

I said that already.

That one doesn't sound right, though.

It sounds like they're beating you up.

Well, it's just, you know.

Yeah, I'm.

I'm bringing home the bacon.

I'm. Yeah, that's it. That's.

I say, bringing home the bacon.

You are slogging, slogging away, slogging it by.

If you slog, it means you are struggling, you are working

hard, you are doing something slog.

And we often use that in British English slog.

Maybe if a person is slogging

and they have a lot of work to do, they might have to slog through the nights.

If you have a meeting at work and it goes on and on

and on, and it's tedious and at times seems to slow down.

You can you can tell that meeting was a slog.

It just it just it goes on for a long time.

It was effort, concentration,

you know, just sort of tires you out. Yes.

Makes you very exhausted.

Something you would not say about these life lessons.

Jemmy

Jemmy from Hong Kong is asking you, Mr.

Steve, what your thoughts are about Arsenal

managing to steal a point from Chelsea in the latest London Derby.

well, of course.

I'm an expert on football.

I have no idea what you're talking about, to be honest.

Jemmy Arsenal.

My mother supported Arsenal.

It was her favourite football, wasn't it?

She she always used to say the Arsenal

because she used to live in London as Chelsea is a London.

They're both I think they're both in London football teams, aren't they?

And so my father used to support, I think it was Tottenham Hotspur.

Yeah. Which was a London as well.

And so there's a bit of rivalry there.

That's it's amazing.

It's amazing how many football teams exist around the London area.

You'd think there would just be one London United or something like that.

But instead they have lots of little smaller football teams all dotted around the area.

But Jemmy said the London Derby.

So I think the football. Do you mean the football?

It must be the football, I think.

I think the Derby is just one of the tournament's, isn't it one of the one of the heats?

I have absolutely

no idea about any of what you've said, Jemmy.

Something about points, something about league, something about manager,

something about Arsenal.

I don't know.

I don't know what I think about it.

And I think it's fair to say that neither of us I'm not sure which competition that one is.

Jemmy Perhaps you can tell us is it just that the normal football league

start of the season?

I haven't, I haven't heard of

football in the UK referred to as a derby.

I've, I've heard of it horse racing.

I've heard of it. It's a derby.

Is, is I think it refers to, to the type of race to,

to get to a certain position anyway.

Maybe you can tell us I have something very important to mention.

Can we say hello to Claudia?

Because apparently her father has been taken ill,

so Claudia won't be with us today on the live chat.

But can I say a big hello, Claudia?

We wish your dad all the best,

but join us when you can, okay?

That's all we say.

So take care, please.

Palmira asks, Is my job physical or sedentary?

I would say was sedentary?

Definitely, because I have to spend quite a lot of time in front of the computer.

It's a good word.

It is a good word.

Sedentary means you don't.

No movement or very little movement.

You are you are doing something, but you are kind of inactive, physically inactive.

So definitely sedentary, sedentary.

So doing a sedentary job, that's an office job based in the office.

You, as you would say, would be a sedentary job, maybe a driver, maybe a driver.

So you see, I have to spend time on the phone to my customers because I'm in sales.

So and then I've got to check things on the computer and then I go to visit

my customers and I have to drive.

So that's sitting down.

So I get very little exercise during the working day.

And then I if I want to exercise, I have to do it either before work,

which I never do because I'm too lazy.

I've got to get up too early for that.

Some people are very good, aren't they?

Getting up early and doing their exercise before work?

I tend to do it after work. Yeah.

So around five 6:00.

So, so.

So I think I think there are things you must always bear in mind, especially.

Well, I think I have the same problem if I'm working at my desk over there

and sometimes I can spend five or 6 hours sitting at the desk

and then when I stand up, my legs are all stiff and aching.

And sometimes it might be my age,

but sometimes I get a little bit dizzy, dizzy, dizzy.

I get a strange throbbing

in my head and it's stranger.

So if I suddenly get up whilst working,

I go a little bit, Ooh, swimming.

And yet you can stand up for hours without any fatigue.

And I think that is my natural state standing up.

You, Mr. Duncan, can stand up for hours.

I can.

He can do it.

He could do 3 hours straight and not even get an ache.

Whereas after an hour I, I get achy.

So, yes, it's probably a large feet

that is sort of supporting you in some way.

Yeah. So but yes, Mr.

Duncan can stand up for hours.

I'm not quite sure why.

Yes, it was the football.

Premier League says Jemmy.

And no, unfortunately I don't follow football

either or either.

So. Yes, but I know about the football.

My father used to watch it.

The television was always on the sport on a Saturday.

My father used to try and get me involved with football following it.

He used to take me every Saturday to the local

football team, Stafford Rangers. Wow.

And I remember there was a moment I don't know if you remember,

but there was a moment where Stafford Rangers

climbed up to a certain level in the league

and they actually went to Wembley to play football in one of the leagues.

I can't remember what league it was, but they did

many, many years ago, I think it was in the late 1970s.

But my dad used to take me and it it did not make me

interested in football at all.

In fact, it may have been the opposite because it was always freezing

cold and I had to stand there and they would give us a cup of tea.

but they would put no sugar in the tea.

So good for you. So

it's not a sugar in your tea.

So if they put lots of sugar in the tea I think I would have probably become a big football fan.

I think I'm a bit of a wimp because I mean my father used to take me to football

occasionally.

I remember the school trip to London once and we watched.

No, my father took me to London to watch Chelsea playing.

I think it was probably China.

I think it was Chelsea, and I'll bet it was not.

But it was then and it was nil nil at Wembley Stadium.

And I was booed throughout the whole thing.

I was cold. Yes.

I just I know it was not for me.

It sounds like our experience of going to see a live football

match was pretty similar because they always start

the season when summer is ending.

That doesn't make any sense.

Why do they start the football season in August?

And then it continues as as the weather gets worse?

Well, because, you know, it's cricket and tennis in the summer just have it all at the same time.

Cricket and tennis in the summer and then football in the winter.

Yes, because it would probably be very hot running around

on a football pitch in the summer

and that'll be

sweating and getting too hot under the collar.

Do I remember? Do you remember?

I, I, I'm not talking from personal experience,

but rugby players and I always found this quite interesting

for some reason rugby is a very manly sport

and they run around the field and they're pulling each other to the ground

and they're punching and kicking and then afterwards,

afterwards they used to all go into the changing rooms

and they would climb into a large bath together.

I think the football players do that as well.

I don't think they do it anymore.

Not anymore, no. But.

But I always thought that was odd.

Well, not odd, mate.

Maybe quite erotic to some people.

But I always thought it was strange that these big, manly,

beefy men would be running around on the pitch, all aggressive.

And then afterwards they all climb naked into a large bathtub.

It's all about Mick, his MO, isn't it?

It's all about Mecanismo.

Yeah, And, you know, just being a man.

Look at me. Look at me. I'm all out there.

Well, you're saying that men

being naked with other men is a sign of masculinity?

I think it is in the in the role it used to be being being naked in underwater.

Well, you can compare yourself to other men. Yeah.

Look who's, you know, who's got the biggest tackle.

Yeah, That all sort of swaggering around. Look at me.

I thought the tackle was on the pitch.

Well, the tackle on the pitch and off the pitch, so on.

So I think they're all having a little look because they're in an each other's Dingley tangle.

yes, everyone's.

yes, some.

He's bigger than mine. Yeah.

So I'm not sure about that.

But yes, it's probably I don't know if they still do that.

They probably do. It's all about bonding, isn't it?

The team has got to bond together, so it's an interesting jump into a bath

together, naked, and then just sort of, ooh, there's lots of banter

going on, you know, looking And

it's all banter

about team building and, you know, okay, staff match.

And I think I think Steve's getting a little bit too excited

about that anyway. No,

it doesn't. Doesn't do anything for me, sort of.

I used to hate being naked at school,

you know, after you'd play sports

and then everyone in the changerooms rooms had to get naked.

I hated that so much because I was I was really self-conscious about everything.

And, and and I had nothing down there, but it was all.

I don't know why.

Whenever I'd been outside in the freezing cold,

I mean, everything would we would do this shrinks.

Yeah, it all just goes up like this.

I mean, this is for men, by the way.

Yes, but talking to.

So we would go out, we would do these cross-country runs

across the field, and then I'd get back

to the changing rooms and ever say, right, let's strip off, go and have a shower.

And I would had everything that was shrunk.

This is what it looked like.

It looked it just all shrunk.

It went up like this cold water. I'll tell you that.

That's not a good look for a man.

It wasn't cold water.

It was just being outside of that in the cold.

All men know this.

There is always significant shrinkage. Women, just women.

Women don't know this, but this is happens to men.

When we get cold, everything shrinks, everything goes up, shrinks.

It all goes up like this.

That's what it looks like.

Everything.

Right? Right.

Let's move with digressing, Mr.

Doom, We are now going to spend the next 25 minutes

talking about a lovely thing.

We are talking about making a wish.

See, I am sprinkling

my fairy dust everywhere today.

Are you enjoying it?

The funny smell.

Sorry, was.

Well, what does that even mean, by the way?

I don't know.

Anyway, carry move on.

Today we are looking at wishes and I think wishing for things is.

I think it is a good thing.

I will be honest with you. I'm not. I'm not lying.

I would say that wishing for things

is a nice thing to want.

You wish for something, I'm sure.

Well, we've already talked about what Mr.

Steve wishes for. In fact, I can think of two things.

One of them, of course, is a Ford Mustang car.

But you said last week that you weren't bothered.

Now, about of thought, you keep changing your mind.

Yeah, I'm not. So I'm not so

bothered.

No, I think if I never owned or drive a Ford Mustang, I've got to the point

it's almost like for the last several years

that I have lusted after a Ford Mustang.

It's almost like I've had the affair and it's sort of past it's

almost like mentally I have owned it and driven it, and now I'm sort of bored with it.

It's, you know, the funny thing about it, the funny thing about and out of it, maybe.

Yeah, the funny thing about your wish is that you've never

you've never driven you've never driven the car over.

Well, so you might try to drive it and hate it.

Well, I wanted to drive once and I went to the Ford garage

for three years ago and said, I want to give me a test drive.

Not a good time to try and drive a car by the way.

Well, it was just before the pandemic. Yes.

And I said, can I have a test drive?

And the young man, the centre, I'll give you a call back, said we haven't got any at the moment.

And then I kept phoning back and he kept saying no because of the pandemic.

Yet all the people were making cars that were in short supply, so there weren't any.

As soon as they got a car in the sold it said there were no demonstrator.

Yes, no, nobody was doing anything during the time.

I was never, never able to actually drive one.

It's quite disappointing. Here we go. That just as well.

It's time to look at the wishing.

There was a lovely song

that was around in the 1960s wishing and wanting

and hoping and wishing and hoping

and wanting and wishing.

Was that was that was that Burt Bacharach

I think it may have been, and it was sung by Caroline Burnham.

okay, good.

That was that was some good information.

Britney I can't I will remember her name.

Some of them have already looked it up.

Can somebody please tell us what horsepower is?

Well, what is the what is the measurement of horsepower?

So come on.

We need to know.

I need I want to know, to be honest, black singer.

She sang. It's lovely voice.

I think she's still alive.

And she was related to that singer that died.

Whitney Houston.

It was Whitney Houston.

Aretha Franklin.

No, it was Dionne Warwick. Yes. Dionne Warwick. was it?

Dionne Warwick? Is Dionne Warwick.

Okay, so we've got that one. We've nailed that one.

No need to look that up.

Forget that.

We've got that sorted out. Okay.

All a strange random question.

I would like to know what horse power is, but we can look it up later.

Wish you make a wish.

So I think wishing is is a normal thing to do.

I think everyone, everyone deep down

has some wish,

some things that they wish for.

Maybe, maybe something that they wish for that is not even for themselves.

Maybe.

Maybe it is something that is what we call selfless,

maybe a selfless, selfless wish

can be something that you're hoping for someone else.

So you wish.

I wish that Mr.

Steve gets his Ford Mustang.

I wish. I wish it for you.

I wish you I wish you

all the success in the world for learning English.

So my wish is are not selfish.

They are selfless. Really?

Yes. Is there any such thing as a selfless wish?

I think so, because they do say about people who they have reported.

I've seen it mentioned that people who do charity work,

it appears on the surface that they're giving,

you know, themselves and giving up their time and everything to help other people.

But in fact, they are getting something back in return

and they are getting a feeling of being good.

They are getting recognition for being this charity work.

So they are getting something back.

Yes, I do, too.

I've always said this about altruism.

Altruism is the action of doing

something that you do without wanting anything in return.

Wait there, Steve.

I know you're wanting to say something.

And altruism,

even that I think is selfish in a way.

Even if you are doing something for others, there might be something

that you expect in return, even if it's just

gratitude or attention.

So it can happen.

Steve ALGA has looked it up.

A horse power is, according to Wikipedia, approximately 735.5.

What that means nothing. Well, a kilowatt.

So that's nearly a kilowatt, isn't it?

A kilowatt of what? A kilowatt of electricity.

You know the electricity.

Well that, that's, you know, that's what's, what's is a measurement isn't it.

Of, of power.

But I'm technically I'm more confused.

Well if you were to convert a kilowatt of electricity

into because we've got electric cars now for you to convert a kilowatt of energy

into drive in force in your car, that would be the equivalent of horse.

So how does that how does that work with engines that are powered by petrol?

Well, you can measure you can convert that into

into what can be converted into energy energies.

All transferable, isn't it? I can see it now.

I'm getting it.

It's coming through.

So it's nearly a kilowatt, isn't it?

Which doesn't sound very much.

You'd have thought that a horse would have been more powerful than one kilowatt.

But then when you think about it, it's got to burn a lot of energy to to produce that amount of power.

So it probably is, right?

Yeah. See, I always thought it referred to the

of the as the animal as it pulls.

So there's there's a certain amount of force be being dragged behind it

or maybe things or the the energy that is contained in the horse.

But anyway we we've learned something we are talking about

a subject wish we wish something.

Vitus has provided another explanation.

I didn't see that one.

yes. No, he has done it. Yes. Okay.

here we go.

The power required to lift 75

kilograms to a height of one metre in one second.

That sounds more like it.

I go.

I think it is.

Yes, I think it is something to do with the power that's required.

So, so.

So I was kind of right. So.

So a horse. That's it.

So if you attached 75 kilograms

to a horse on a pulley

and it was able to lift it up in one second, that's one kilogram.

Yeah. One.

Yeah. So you can, you can imagine that.

Yeah I think so.

I think it's almost like the potential energy that it has.

So 75 kilograms is about the weight of a person isn't it.

It's proximately good.

A heavy process. You call it manpower then.

I think that's right.

75. it's okay Steve.

What's the weight of a Steve.

of a person about 78.

Everyone's clicking away Steve when you go. Right.

So you wish that I would stop talking about horsepower, right?

Let's carry on. Okay. All right, calm down.

That's why somebody wanted to.

Who was it?

Santa Reno has a wish to win 1 trillion on the zero lottery.

I am going to make your wish come true.

Here we go. Then I will.

I will grant that wish to you. Now.

Your wish has been granted.

But please give us half.

Well, actually, 10% to be enough.

Because the trillions are locked.

I mean, you know, you doesn't just want a

million wants a trillion, which is like

a lot more.

It's Well, that was very accurate, but a billion is a thousand.

Millions of a trillion is a thousand.

Steve, to that stop stopped doing this millions enough.

Probably a million is enough.

But you know what inflation is like at the moment.

I can imagine in three or four years from now, everyone will be talking

about trillions of dollars instead of millions because of inflation.

You see, that's how it that's how it works.

So if you could send a little bit of your lottery win

when you win your £1 trillion

or dollars, please, some of it to us.

So even my my wish that I grant to you,

I would still like a reward for it.

So So there is no such thing as altruism.

It doesn't exist.

Everyone wants something, even if they appear to be giving something

to others, they still want something in return.

Yes, because we lost an in animal rights.

Move on. Don't even talk about that to attract Mr.

Duncan. Steve,

we've got things to do.

Yes, I know.

We've got to. We're going in 15 minutes.

Hope you can hope for something.

So if you hope for something, it can be anything, really.

Maybe you have a job interview tomorrow.

Maybe you are going to attend a very important job

interview, maybe your dream job,

maybe it is waiting for you to take.

But there is one thing you have to overcome, and that is the job interview.

You hope that you are successful with your job interview

and hopefully then you will get your dream job.

Won't know.

I always think the word want is an interesting word

because I think there is often a definition of want

that can be seen as Would I be right?

Would I be right in saying that want might be seen as selfish, Something you want?

Yes, I want a new bike.

Yes. When you use the word want, it tends to be a bit.

Yeah.

You say I want a new dress.

Well, selfish.

I don't want a new dress. It can't.

It could be seen as selfish. Yes.

So want is very different from need.

Yeah.

I always think of need as something that you need or you require for survive.

You must have it. You. You require it. Yes.

Water, food, shelter.

Yes. This sort of thing.

Things you need.

Yes. Want is often seen more as as a selfish desire.

So maybe you want things that are really deep

down, worthless or pointless, or maybe something that you have

to spend a lot of money on and then after a few weeks you become bored with it.

So you want it, but then you become bored and you want something else.

You move on to the next thing that you want wants and needs are very different out there

and then desire as well.

So maybe your hope, the thing you wish for, the things you desire.

Yeah, I like that word, by the way.

Desire.

I think it's I think it stems from, I want to say French.

I'm sure someone will tell me if it isn't, they will say, Mr.

Duncan, you silly little man, it's not French, but I think it does come from French.

I desire you.

Yes. If you desire something, it's it's.

It's more like a it's a wish. It's.

It's a wish. Yes, it definitely is a wish.

But when you say desire.

Yes, I desire.

Do people use that phrase very much?

I say I think it can be a desire.

Normally when we are lusting for something, you want something

maybe because you have the urge.

Quite often if you see someone you are attracted to, maybe a beautiful lady.

I desire that handsome man, or maybe someone you would like to get to know better.

Yes, Desire is almost like a more of a more of a sort of

physical sort of emotional feeling, isn't it?

I desire something.

It might even be described as uncontrollable.

Yes, well, it could be, yes.

What do you want?

What do you want? What do you wish for?

So if you make a wish, quite often you are wanting something,

something that you hope for, or

maybe something that you hope will happen.

What do you want?

What do you hope for?

What do you wish for?

I think that's quite a nice one, Charlie.

You can also grant a wish, as I did just you see you.

You wave your magic wand like this. Like a fairy.

You mean

you wave your magic wand?

Wave this magic wand

for wishes the likes

you wave your magic wand and you grant a wish.

So if you grant something, it means you are bestowing all you want.

Giving that thing you want or allowing that thing just will happen.

Yes, Grant.

Grant. A wish was a genie.

A genie

is a is a sort of a mythical

creature that a mythical person that grants wishes three wishes.

Normally

a genie pops out of a bottle

and grant you three wishes is a popular sort of.

What would you say that story Fable?

It's a fable, Fable or a fairy tale. Yes.

So yes, Aladdin.

Aladdin.

I have.

I've it's been a while since I've had Aladdin is

stuff you get struck off for that? Mr.

Duncan I was going to say it is a famous story about a young.

A young is it?

Was he a young thief?

And he found a magic lamp and he ripped it.

He kept ripping it and he ripped it

harder and harder and then something sprung out.

It's sort of an Arabian talisman.

Something came out and it was it was a magic genie. Yes.

And he granted Aladdin

three wishes, and that is part of the story.

So that's where it comes from.

Yes, it is probably seen as a racist these days.

I think the genie in the lamp has seen it seen as a bit of a racist.

So why?

Well, I don't know, but I think it is. Wasn't there?

Well, recently there was a remake, wasn't it,

with Will Smith playing the part of the genie.

So I'm not sure if it is racist.

I think I think having a genie in your lamp and you rub and you rub in Europe until he pops out,

I think it's a sort of I think it's a sort of a stereotype of of a certain culture.

Okay.

It's seen as now, I think.

But of course, it wasn't when we were growing up.

And there's, you know, Grant three wishes It's it was a popular I don't know.

Do you have that in your culture when a genie comes out of a lamp and grants you three wishes?

It isn't it isn't real that.

Yeah, Yeah.

Because it's sort of Arabia seems like a mystical place

where all sorts of flying carpets and all sorts of things.

It's what we call a fable. Yes.

Or a fairy tale.

So it's a well-known story

and we all hope one day that we will rub something

and a magic genie that Reno says you've got to desire a car,

Ferrari Testarossa or Lamborghini mirror.

Yes, very good cars, Ivan.

I always wanted a maserati Merak.

Amit r a K, I think.

I thought it looked absolutely wonderful.

Somebody when I when I was a student, somebody owned one

opposite where I was living a yellow Maserati.

Merak I don't think they were particularly highly rated at the time,

but they were beautiful looking cars probably rusted away and highly unreliable.

But there you go.

I always wanted one of those as well.

We are looking words to do with wishing.

And of course there is a thing that you can use to

grant your wishes or to make your wishes come true.

And that is a wishing well which we have in our garden.

yes, look at that. So we have a magic

wishing now it is.

It hasn't given us much luck.

My neighbours has always, always.

I was going to say that.

I don't think it works.

I think I think ours is broken.

I think I think that well has long since dried up.

I think all the wishes have been granted from that wishing well.

Yeah.

So that is the live view at the moment is a good one in the garden.

A wish list.

hello, Pedro.

I didn't see Pedro Belmont.

Yes. Now that's very good wish list.

Yeah, I, I have a wish list on Amazon.

A wish list?

That's it.

It's a list of things that you wish to have.

Simple as that. So you can write them down.

Ferrari Testarossa, new boyfriend,

bigger house,

and, you know, those sort of things.

Yeah.

Careful what you wish for.

girlfriend, Obviously, in your case, pleasure.

But yeah, Bucket list.

There's another one. Okay.

Wish a wish list. Yes, that's a good one.

So kind of quite often a wish list is something

that is not just about wishing for something to come true,

but also maybe things that you hope that you can buy in the future.

Maybe a list of things that you think I might need that later.

I might need that thing later on and you make a wish list.

So on my Amazon account, I have a wish list

of, things for my studio and for my work.

And one day I've always wanted because you can make your wish list public.

Did you know that? No.

You can publish it and so you can actually publish your wish list.

And I've always wanted to do it,

but but I've always felt a little bit nervous

because then looks like I'm being a bit selfish, so shove it.

So I've never done it.

But yes, Pedro wants us to wish him luck.

See, that's a good phrase. Yes.

Pedro, you are really coming up with some good phrases today.

Why subject? Why do you want us to wish you luck?

Because according to Pedro, he's going on trial

for 30 days.

Is that right?

When you say trial,

a court of law, is that what you mean, Pedro?

Do you mean a court of law, or is it some other kind of trial?

Yeah, I mean, it could be it could be a physical trial.

It could be a trial to get into a football team.

Or do you mean a court of law? Yes.

I mean, you're being very open here. We appreciate that.

I'm not sure if I want to know, to be honest, but we do wish you luck.

And that is a good phrase you can use.

There we go.

Steve, we want to finish because we are going in 3 minutes.

And that's a good thing to say something, isn't it? Yes.

If somebody is going for a job interview, wish you luck

or whatever Pedro is doing.

Wish you luck.

I wish you luck in that endeavour. Yeah.

Going out with a new boyfriend. Anything So very good phrase.

Thank you, Page.

I will send you now some of my fairy dust.

Here it comes.

Are you ready?

Please let us know what happens. Yes,

Pedro, We want to know.

And whatever happens, do stay in touch. Yes,

please send us a letter.

Yes, it is the court of law.

We won't.

We won't ask what?

We might ask Any questions. I will send you.

I will send you a large cake with something inside.

Maybe.

Maybe a small soul or something, so you can cut through the bars.

no. Well, we hope that doesn't happen.

No, I hope so as well.

Yeah, because we need we need all of you is we can't have all of our regular viewers going to prison.

It's just not right.

Well, we don't if it's an impressionable offence.

I didn't say it was.

It could be just a fine, but 30 days sounds like a long trial.

Well, what is a bucket list?

What is it a bucket list is a list of things that you want to do

in maybe in your life before you die.

Before you die. That's it.

A bucket list.

So you might want to visit Brazil.

You might want to climb Mount Everest,

You might want to dive down deep into an ocean.

You might be countries you want to visit, things you want to do in your life, a bucket list.

And that would be good for me, because then you cross them off as you do them.

Play Russian roulette.

Russian roulette.

That's on my bucket list.

Yeah. There we go.

Valentin. Things you do before you kick the bucket.

thank you.

I didn't know it meant that. Yes.

Yeah. If you kick the bucket, it means you die.

That's it.

So, a bucket list.

Things you do before you kick Get that?

I didn't know that.

Valentine, we have something.

We have 30 seconds to ask you.

What do you wish for?

Please give us your wishes now.

And we will.

Using Mr. Duncan's fairy wand.

I have my fairy dust down Here is fairy dust,

and I am going to sprinkle my fairy dust everywhere.

Yes. So, yeah,

send us your your wish list and we will do our best.

It's almost like praying, isn't it?

I'm praying is a kind of wishing

if you are a person that prays

for things to, you know, a God.

Yes, then that's almost like wishing, isn't it?

In a way,

Is it?

Or is that being is that being

whatever it may be? I'm not really.

It's sort of like wishing it well, I suppose.

Praying and wishing you pray for something, you wish for something.

You put your hands together and you look up into the sky and you wish you pray.

So I suppose they are kind of similar because it's something you are hoping for.

Yes, there is a certain amount of your own personal feeling

going in to that thing because it won't necessarily happen.

You might wish for world peace, like Beatrice says,

or you might wish for a relative

who is ill to get better

or a friend that's going on trial that you want them to be.

You know, you don't want them to go to you.

You don't want them to go to prison for them to be watching you every week and be full of them.

Well, they might be one of those very liberal prisons

that let you actually take your mobile phone in.

So maybe you can still watch it. They shouldn't.

We shouldn't. Charity. I'm not joking. I'm being sued.

I am.

Please, I need we need all of you as foetuses

wishing us to be on for one more hour.

Unfortunately, Mr.

Steve now is getting very old and he's told me that he can't do now.

He can't do it for more than one hour.

I can do another 10 minutes.

No, no, you're on tomorrow. So.

Yes, I'm on tomorrow. I don't want to tie am I self out.

Is it you see.

So that is it.

We are back with you tomorrow.

Tomorrow from 2 p.m. UK time.

Steve will not be some working because he is doing a proper job working to keep it.

I will be here tomorrow from 2 p.m.

for one hour and I will be with you between

now and the 31st.

So I will put it on the screen very quickly for the 22nd,

which is today until the 31st of October,

I will be with you every day doing a livestream.

I will be with you as life as life can be.

In a way, your wish is coming true.

It's just not happening right now.

So if your wish was to see me

every day until the end of the month, guess what?

Your wish.

Your wish is coming true is coming true.

Thank you, Steve.

Thank you, Mr. Duncan. And best wishes to Pedro. Yes.

For your again, whatever it is you are doing, I hope it goes well. Yes.

And I'm pleased that us No next week or what?

30 days? It says or maybe we that we won't hear from you.

I receive you be here tomorrow, says Valentine.

Thank you very much.

No, I'll probably won't be.

I can always say hello, but I might be on the road, as John was saying.

Well, you can't customers, you can't be with us then if you're on the road.

No, because if my company saw me, I'd get the sack. Yes.

I think Mr.

Steve would like to keep his job for a little bit longer until we've paid

for the Paris trip, and then we can do whatever we want.

Thank you, Steve.

See you tomorrow from 2 p.m. UK time.

I am back with you and it does seem like some sort of miracle has taken place.

But it isn't. It isn't anything like that.

It is just a way of celebrating 17 years on YouTube.

Can you believe it?

Thank you, Mr Steve

and of course, you know what's coming next.

Until the next time we meet here, don't forget to give me a

like as well a lovely like.

And I will give you one last

granted wish with my lovely fairy dust.

I hope all your dreams come true.

And of course,

ta ta for now

See you tomorrow.
