Have you heard the word "bucket list" and you think:
1

3649
00:05
"Bucket, I know what a bucket is"?
2

00:07
A bucket is something like this,
3
7388
4339
00:12
you put things in it. If you go to the beach,
4
12204
2895
00:15
you put sand in it, you can make a sand castle. And then you have the word "list", now a list is
5
15099
6854
00:23
writing on paper, maybe a grocery list, or shopping list, or what lessons I'm going
6
23474
5746
00:29
to do list. But "bucket list", what's a "bucket list"?
7
29220
6397
00:35
I'll tell you. A "bucket list" is a
8
35679
4333
00:40
number of things that you would like to do in your life.
9
40061
4619
00:45
What do you want to do in your life? What are your dreams? So, "bucket list" basically
10
45368
5471
00:50
just means what your dreams are in your life. I don't really have a lot. I've done a lot.
11
50839
9276
01:00
What have you done? What do you want to do? I'm going to just go through some very simple
12
60209
4661
01:04
vocabulary, and teach you about something really exciting that you can do, maybe check
13
64870
4410
01:09
that off your bucket list.
14
69280
1929
01:12
Maybe you want to be a rock star, maybe you want to record an album. A long time ago,
15
72326
6954
01:19
we had these things called records.
16
79280
2964
01:22
Maybe you want to be a rock star, or maybe you want
17
82502
2158
01:24
to be like Barbra Streisand and sing "Hello Dolly". So, that's one of... A lot of people's
18
84660
9350
01:34
things to do. And then if you make an album, you become a rock star, you get to go on tour.
19
94010
6630
01:40
I've often thought about writing books. I have so many great ideas about books, and
20
100640
6372
01:47
mice, and blarney, but you know, I'm just too lazy to actually sit down, and try and
21
107059
6267
01:53
write one. Have you ever written a book? Is that on your bucket list?
22
113388
5263
01:59
Next one: You want to drive a race car. I have a race car. I also have an airplane.
23
119322
8181
02:07
Maybe you want to learn to fly an airplane. This could be you in the driver's seat, this
24
127534
7175
02:14
could be your buddy is going to jump off the airplane. Maybe you want to drive this guy.
25
134725
6229
02:21
It's really old, cool Royal Airforce airplane.
26
141063
4708
02:26
Another thing that a lot of people want to do, like I said before, is drive a race car.
27
146208
6190
02:32
Yeah. Not a Lamborghini, but it's still a car. I'm working with what I got, so driving
28
152531
6639
02:39
a race car, you can go really fast. Or actually owning, a lot of people want to own some classic
29
159170
5420
02:44
cars. This is beautiful. You could sit right there, I could sit here, we could go for a
30
164590
5619
02:50
ride. Driving a race car, flying or jumping out of an airplane, dying.
31
170209
6572
02:56
This is a curious thing, what does this mean:
32
176851
3209
03:00
"Have a threesome"? One, two, threesome.
33
180086
4150
03:04
A threesome is a lot of priorities on some people's list.
34
184283
7618
03:11
A threesome basically means...
35
191960
2301
03:14
Let's learn some slang. You have sex with two other people, and yourself. You're there,
36
194355
9164
03:23
so that's you, and two other people. This is a lot of fantasies or bucket list for a lot of men
37
203560
7560
03:31
out there. Have you ever done that? I think it'd be weird.
38
211120
5283
03:36
So, a threesome means you have sex with two other people.
39
216582
3874
03:41
I'm guessing that a lot of you, one of your bucket list things to do is to speak or to
40
221859
5571
03:47
learn English very well. I've got something that can help you do this, I'm really excited.
41
227430
6273
03:54
Maybe your bucket list includes come to Toronto where I am right now,
42
234179
5396
03:59
and just kick it with me, just hang out with Ronnie. You can do that.
43
239841
5654
04:07
This is my bucket list, it's short, because I have one, huge, big dream, and my dream
44
247018
6061
04:13
is to travel the world. I've been to quite a few countries. I've been lucky enough to
45
253079
5791
04:18
be able to travel. I want to see them all before I die. I want to go everywhere. I want
46
258870
6910
04:25
to come visit you. I want you to come visit me.
47
265780
4576
04:30
