Luke Likes 'Just Do It, Or Don't'

Yeah, just do it, do it, do it, just do it. That's a rule, that is a rule. Or, don't, don't do it, don't, don't, nope, don't do that, don't do it. Do you have rules like that?Do you have rules, rules? We all have rules, I'm sure. Yeah. All countries, all countries have some rules like that.

Eat that, don't eat this. Do this, like that, don't do this like that. And so on, and so on, and so on. I am going to give you some rules now. I'm going to give you some rules about one country, about one country. I wonder, I wonder if you can guess what country it is, what country I'm talking about, I am talking about.

So in this country the rule is, just don't shake hands, don't shake hands over the threshold, threshold, this place, this line in the door, don't ever shake hands. Why? No idea, actually. Bad luck, bad luck. Don't do that in this country, don't ever do it.

And when you visit somebody, when you visit somebody at their place, at their place take off your shoes, take off your shoes Don't wear your shoes inside, don't wear your shoes inside. Just take off, take off your shoes, really. That's a big, big rule in this country.

And celebrate, celebrate, not just your birthday, celebrate, not just your birthday, but choose a day in the year, choose a day in the year to celebrate your name day, name day. So celebrate your name day. Sometimes maybe celebrate it a few times over the year, over the year. That would be, that would be fantastic. No, it's just one, it is just one. So celebrate the name day and invite your friends over and get a lot of gifts.

Yeah, and eat your dinner, eat your main meal, eat your dinner, main meal around two, three p.m., two, three p.m. That is your main meal, eat your main meal, have your main meal around two, three p.m. That's the best time to do that. So do it, eat your dinner quite early, two, three p.m.

Okay, and one more rule in this country. I love it, I love this rule. So whenever, whenever you feel it's your bad day and something doesn't quite work out, doesn't work out, doesn't go your way, doesn't go your way, so it is a bad day, say, just say, oh, it's bad air pressure, bad air pressure. It must be the air pressure, it's too high, it's too high, so high air pressure. Or you just say, oh, the pressure today is so low, I feel horrible, I feel horrible. This is because of the air pressure in the atmosphere, in the atmosphere.

So say it and put all the blame, all the blame on the air pressure. It's not your fault. Oh, for example, for example, you fail your exam, you fail your exam, so your exam, your exam doesn't go as planned, well, that's not your fault, that's not your fault, come on, it is not. That's the air pressure, come on, it's the air pressure today, horrible air pressure, yeah.

Or your team, your favourite team doesn't win, must be the pressure, must be the air pressure, of course. Why not, yeah, why not? The air pressure, obviously the air pressure, and so on and so on. This is very, very convenient, very comfortable, convenient to say that. Love this, I love, I say that all the time, all the time.

So if you follow these rules in this country, you will feel at home, you will feel at home. So always, always, always think about these strange rules, maybe they are not that strange. I'm sure you have the rules like that, or maybe you don't, I don't know.

So what country is it? What country is it? If you are not sure, if you are not sure by now, just go back to my previous, previous episodes, previous episodes. I'm sure you'll know that. Yeah, good luck with that, good luck.

Well, it's your turn from now. Embrace the day, people!
