  • I'm Neil.

  • And I'm Sam.

  • Have you always wanted to learn to dance the tango?

  • Do a magic trick or skydive?

  • If so, perhaps you need a bucket list.

  • A list of all the things you want to do before you die.

  • How about you?

  • Um, one thing I've always wanted to do is swim with dolphins.
