[00:03.81]Hi, I'm Rosie, and this is Li…
[00:06.94]Li? Hurry up. Look, here's the karaoke bar.
[00:10.54]Ahhh. Rosie, why is the bar on the top floor? So many stairs. Help me please. I'm so unfit.
[00:22.49]I need to start doing more exercise. I'm going to join the gym tomorrow.
[00:30.29]Tomorrow? Why don't you join the gym today?
[00:33.96]I'll join it tomorrow and then I'll go every single day. I will. I really will.
[00:42.18]Li, you've been saying that for months but you never actually do it!
[00:47.55]This time I will, I promise.
[00:52.24]That's what you always say. You need to put your money where your mouth is.
[00:57.37]You want me to put my money where my mouth is?
[01:00.94]You want me to eat my coins and banknotes? That's disgusting.
[01:06.80]No, Li, that's not what I meant.
[01:09.34]To put your money where your mouth is means to stop just talking about something and to take action.
[01:15.74]Ah, so you didn't really want me to put all these coins in my mouth?
[01:21.49]No, please don't. I want you to stop talking about joining the gym, and to join it for real.
[01:28.80]Here are some more examples.
[01:29.34]If we played a game of tennis I would easily win.
[01:34.19]Why don't you put your money where your mouth is? I challenge you to a game.
[01:39.69]So to put your money where your mouth is means to support your words with actions?
[01:46.55]Yes.
[01:47.90]so you'd say you’re one of those people who puts their money where their mouth is?
[01:51.97]Definitely.
[01:53.50]That's interesting actually. So the other day you were saying that you love singing, and here we are in a karaoke bar.
[02:02.23]Well yes but, I'm really terrible actually. And some of our colleagues are here, how embarrassing.
[02:08.72]No excuses. Put your money where your mouth is and sing a karaoke song.
[02:14.96]Oh, do I have to? OK. Here we go.
[02:20.00]Near far wherever you are .I believe that the heart does go on.
[02:37.88]Maybe just maybe, sometimes it's best not to put your money where your mouth is.
