This could be a Terrible Decision & End with me in Hospital! 😳
Life of Tom
0:00 How do I keep waking up to England
0:03 Looking like this.
0:05 Unbelievable pure bliss.
0:06 But this just isn't any old day.
0:08 This is a magnificent day where I welcome your faces
0:12 to a new dawn and a new day where my name is
0:14 Tom from every single week there on my life put
0:15 on the internet for your faces and for some reason you watch.
0:18 So let's get into it.
0:19 Now, if you'd ask me how I was feeling this morning,
0:21 I'd say a little bit rough because yesterday I thought it'd be
0:22 a really good idea to climb on top of your mum's roof,
0:25 watch the sunset view and be like, "Wow, would you just look at that?"
0:27 However, I couldn't take my socks off to get grip with my feet to climb up
0:30 So I used my knees and in effect absolutely shredded them.
0:34 It doesn't look too bad from here, but oh my gosh, it's like road rash.
0:39 Which if you don't know what that is,
0:39 say like you're on a vehicle that's moving rather fast,
0:41 you fall off and skid along the road,
0:43 it just rips your skin off in like a fine layer.
0:45 Yeah, that's like a a baby version of that.
0:47 And it hurts.
0:48 So bear with me if you see me hobbling a bit cuz I'm BEING A WIMP.
0:51 HELLO.
0:51 [screaming] HELLO.
0:53 Mother bear, where's child?
0:55 Child says
0:56 Or child one even.
0:57 Good morning, child two.
1:00 [laughter]
1:00 I can hear you.
1:02 Little weed.
1:03 Good morning.
1:05 Hello.
1:06 Okay, this day is in full swing.
1:08 Cuz I'm attempting to ring the Viking because
1:10 there's a delivery arriving at the Biddly Bungalow,
1:12 but he doesn't seem to be answering.
1:13 And I believe that the materials for the job he's doing
1:15 And as to what that job is,
1:16 I don't know cuz he didn't answer, so we'll never know.
1:18 Just checked my diary and I definitely didn't have anything scheduled in.
1:21 Except this one thing that's happening today at 1:00 which is the bees.
1:26 Cuz that's right, ladies and gentlemen,
1:27 today is indeed the big day where I'm taking a very big risk.
1:32 Um and the risk is not like a financial thing,
1:34 which in a slight way it is, but it's not cuz the risk is my life.
1:39 Mhm, yeah, for the sake of diversification of the land and trying new things
1:43 and trying to grow the farm and our adventures into the world of nature,
1:47 um we are going to get into having bees on our land in some sets.
1:51 I'll put some pictures on screen right now.
1:52 Papow, we've got them ordered,
1:54 delivered and Sam and the beekeeper is going to be coming,
1:56 dropping them off and setting them up today at 1:00.
1:58 We're looking forward to it.
1:59 But, there is a huge catch with this whole thing that we're doing,
2:02 and that is I am deadly allergic to wasps and bees.
2:05 Have you ever seen the movie Hitch where
2:06 he eats something that's got nuts in it,
2:07 and he kind of looks like this picture on screen?
2:09 Well, yeah, that's basically what happens to me if I get
2:11 stung by a wasp by going into anaphylactic shock, and my throat,
2:14 cuz it's swelling and being operated and blood rushing to it,
2:18 um closes in, and I struggle to breathe to the point where you can't breathe,
2:21 and then that's how you die from it.
2:22 Not good in the slightest.
2:24 Now, I am going to take preventative measures by wearing like a bee suit,
2:26 which is going to be great,
2:27 but there is always that chance, after speaking to Sam the beekeeper,
2:31 that bees get in or find a way to sting you still through it.
2:34 Now, I am, this week, going to prioritize getting my EpiPen,
2:36 so in case I do get stung and go
2:38 into shock or anything like that, I can counteract it.
2:40 But, for the goodness of Mother Nature,
2:44 I've not been stung and had a reaction since I was like 11 years old,
2:46 so you never know, I might not be allergic anymore.
2:48 It's not really a risk I want to take,
2:49 so we're going to try and avoid getting stung,
2:51 but we are, indeed, going to try and produce our own 110 honey.
2:56 Now, little man, as much as I'm sure you like my T-shirt,
2:58 the one I'm wearing right now,
2:59 which is available at syndicateoriginal.com,
3:01 you may notice I'm holding a NEW ONE.
3:02 OH!
3:04 SO, LET'S GET IT ON.
3:04 OH, YEAH, YEAH.
3:05 OH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
3:06 OH, YEAH, YEAH.
3:07 OH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
3:08 I'm sorry, we don't do them in your size yet.
3:10 Promise you, right here, right now, that one day we will, okay?
3:13 Oh, he's so [laughter] sad.
3:15 And he's now gone, cuz I've dropped the booster off at nursery,
3:18 and I've teleported to rather big mill.
3:20 I'll tell you something,
3:21 if our honey empire takes off and we end up making, what was it again?
3:23 7 million pounds, I'll buy the abandoned factory right next to the 110 block.
3:29 As far as I'm aware, it's being sold for apartments and buildings.
3:34 I don't think it's going to be worth 7 million anymore.
3:36 I think it might be closer in the range of 70 million.
3:39 But, just imagine owning something like this.
3:41 Let's take two upstairs into a vintage shop.
3:45 Wow.
3:46 Or not.
3:48 This looks rather vintage.
3:50 I have never been in here, but always
3:55 What?
3:55 Always wanted to explore it.
3:56 And I'd love to say we're about to do so, but we're not.
3:59 Cuz we're here to go upstairs and check
4:00 out the oak furniture range for Alfred's new bedroom.
4:03 Oh my gosh, on the way up there,
4:05 I've discovered they've got old video games in here.
4:08 What a belter.
4:09 Back when games used to be good.
4:11 Oh, original Dead [music] Space, Borderlands, Mass Effect.
4:16 Bones!
4:16 You're alive!
4:18 I've got a feeling that once we're done upstairs
4:22 I'm going to end up spending a small fortune in here.
4:25 I must stay focused and I must be back for 1:00 p.m.
4:28 for Simon and the Bees.
4:30 Ooh, these are nice.
4:35 But we want traditional looking wood, not painted.
4:38 Correct?
4:38 Correct, but this looks like something you'd find in your nan's care home.
4:42 Look at this, you can do your furniture shopping
4:44 and then go for a bit of pole dancing.
4:50 What is it, mate?
4:52 Run!
4:52 That was not a successful furniture shop, so I'm immediately giving up.
4:56 I'm going into the yonder of random junk.
5:00 As they say, one man's trash
5:02 is another man's trea- What is going on right now?
5:07 Was it you, random man having a sandwich?
5:10 Definitely him.
5:10 Oh, this is screaming to be bought for the 110.
5:13 How What?
5:15 [laughter]
5:14 I take it back, my lady.
5:15 First of all, you need to be wearing some clothes, but 115 quid?
5:20 Oh, bloody hell, no.
5:21 And I beg your pardon?
5:23 Bones, I didn't realize you were so valuable.
5:25 225 pounds?
5:27 Gosh, gosh.
5:28 I regret smashing into your brother with a wheel.
5:30 Sweaters cost 15 quid.
5:31 Look at this, kids vintage clothes,
5:33 which if I was filming in any other circumstance, would be weird.
5:35 Since you have a child, it's okay.
5:37 Look at it.
5:37 Hello.
5:39 That That is the sort of thing my mom and dad used to put me in.
5:41 It's like looking at a clothing set like Stranger Things or something like that.
5:45 Do you know what this all actually screams?
5:48 Joe Sug.
5:48 They've got TY Beanie Babies.
5:50 I've not seen these for ages.
5:51 2002.
5:53 Bro, this is probably worth like 8,000 pounds.
5:55 I have found a Defender.
5:57 And a collector's Defender.
5:59 Yo, I like that.
6:00 How much is that?
6:01 12 pounds?
6:03 Might be having that.
6:04 Fun fact you might not know about me,
6:05 my uncle who's no longer alive actually owned
6:07 a full toy model shop in our local little town.
6:11 And it was a really, really awesome place.
6:12 My granddad absolutely loved it cuz he used to collect like train
6:15 sets and cars and all that sort of stuff his entire life.
6:18 And then my uncle opened one.
6:20 The business didn't do exactly too well and then shut down, but
6:23 my entire life I was raised with all this sort of like awesomeness,
6:27 goodness, and collectionness.
6:28 The more you didn't need to know.
6:30 Oh, I've also just found out Lydia's still upstairs.
6:32 Cuz I thought we'd seen everything this place had to offer.
6:35 It turns out that was the over spill in the hallway.
6:38 And here ah is all Wait.
6:41 The rest of it.
6:43 That looks more like what you were showing me.
6:45 I like what she's gone for here, but I'm just just shaking in my boots.
6:50 As to the logistics of getting that and that upstairs into Alfred's new bedroom.
6:58 We're now trying to achieve the impossible apparently,
7:00 which we do like to make possible,
7:02 but the furniture that we want, we need within Yesterday.
7:06 4 weeks.
7:07 I need it yesterday.
7:08 And 5 days cuz that's when the baby's on the way.
7:11 But we've had conversations coming off that wall
7:14 of them saying 11 weeks, so that's not good.
7:16 12 weeks.
7:17 So that's not that good.
7:18 However, it sounds like the pool got dumped in the classic style.
7:21 So she want to swing over there.
7:24 Swing?
7:24 We swing over there.
7:25 Um
7:26 No, how's that going to help my furniture situation?
7:28 No, just making sure it just make it not a wasted journey.
7:31 Sprucing up the bare space to our left.
7:38 I really want to be able to stop and look around at everything,
7:40 but we haven't got time cuz we're getting home and getting on with the bees.
7:44 Well, we came away with no furniture,
7:46 but Lydia has just found online the stuff that we
7:49 actually want and it can get delivered in time.
7:52 I think so.
7:53 Pull the trigger.
7:54 And now part ways with you, the lady.
7:56 Cuz I am here to retrieve.
8:02 Cuz this is about to get used right now to put
8:04 our beehive boxes in the back and transport them to their new home.
8:08 I just like to say, thanks for looking after my vehicle.
8:10 No, you're not selling it.
8:11 I've seen your bloody TikTok, you bastard.
8:12 to call you out for false advertisement as well.
8:14 If you're saying people can buy it cheap,
8:15 you better warn them it's got a really faulty
8:17 door on it and it doesn't go above 40 mph.
8:19 Yeah, but my cheap and everyone else's cheap is two different things.
8:22 25 grand minimum is my cheap.
8:25 I wouldn't pay that for it.
8:26 But what I will say is after, you know,
8:28 a bit of recollection since I last seen you, that is one sturdy roof.
8:32 How I didn't fall off that, I do not know.
8:35 If this is the last time I do see you before I end up in hospital,
8:38 not from falling off a roof, but through bee stings,
8:40 um you'll find me in the A&E ward under anaphylactic shock person.
8:45 Why?
8:45 Have I ever been
8:46 We're going to set them up today.
8:48 Oh, are you?
8:49 Yes.
8:49 110 honey coming soon.
8:51 Hey, let's go.
8:53 And the Highland cow's going to be happy to see me today.
8:55 Look at this.
8:56 Got her some bread.
8:57 Thank you, Auntie Jean.
8:59 Are you ready?
9:01 I'm ready.
9:03 [laughter]
9:03 Welcome to mole city at the moment.
9:06 That's what we're calling it.
9:08 Where you can see Farmer Joe already putting in all the new
9:11 drainage pipe to get this ready for this year's pumpkin patch.
9:15 All right.
9:16 How was the weather on my side of it?
9:17 Nah, dude.
9:17 This This is the top 60 acres of the 110 and I have to ask,
9:22 will this honey be ready in time for October?
9:27 What you get, yeah.
9:29 And speaking of what you get,
9:30 It Yeah, it's up to nature, but we've got five.
9:35 Yeah.
9:36 I know you've been speaking to my wife.
9:38 Well, I got contacts.
9:41 How doable is 50?
9:43 This year?
9:44 Mhm.
9:44 I don't think you'll be able to get them.
9:45 Oh, why?
9:47 Supply and demand?
9:49 Yeah.
9:50 We have a saying, where there's a will, there's a one ton way.
9:52 I mean, you'll have to buy nukes to get them that way.
9:56 They'll be spring nukes around, but they do sell out quick.
9:59 But you'd be up for scaling it a bit if you can.
10:02 yeah.
10:02 How many do you think you could max handle?
10:05 Um Probably 20 this year.
10:09 Yeah?
10:11 Yeah.
10:10 I I reckon we should We don't do things by halves as you can see.
10:14 that.
10:14 So, I think we need to get set up Yeah.
10:16 immediately, and get more ordered.
10:17 So, I think there's going to be a lot of demand
10:19 from what I've seen in the comments that people want to get started.
10:21 with the spring, you may not get any on it.
10:23 Oh, really?
10:24 be so far behind.
10:25 Oh, really?
10:26 They'll be concentrating on building up.
10:30 Mhm.
10:29 That's the trouble.
10:32 Okay.
10:33 All right.
10:34 We'll see.
10:34 Nice introduction for you here.
10:36 What's that?
10:37 Cuz you're going to need to get your bee suit ordered.
10:39 Oh, Simon.
10:39 This is Simon.
10:40 Simon, Andy.
10:42 Here we go.
10:45 [laughter]
10:45 Doing a bit of jet washing whilst we're here, as well.
10:47 Yes.
10:48 I wouldn't be cleaning that one.
10:49 They're only small, then.
10:51 That's They're only halves.
10:52 Oh, that's halves?
10:54 That's what comes when you see in that stack in the garden.
10:57 Yeah.
10:57 You actually pull stacks.
10:58 Yeah, and we got five of them.
10:59 Yeah.
11:00 So, these These are called brood boxes.
11:03 Okay.
11:04 you name it.
11:05 That goes in.
11:05 And just for clarification, there's no bees in this vehicle right now.
11:08 Thank
11:08 God for that.
11:09 Otherwise, I would be in a suit.
11:11 Okay, I'm all loaded up.
11:14 Yeah, we weren't going to fit in mine, so we've acquired Andy's truck,
11:16 and we're going to head off to where their home's going to be.
11:19 Just got to thread the needle through these bushes.
11:21 Andy's following along, cuz this, folks,
11:24 is where we are starting our bee empire.
11:28 Look at it.
11:29 Perfect, Simon.
11:30 This is where we will make history.
11:32 Tell me Andy this isn't the perfect spot for it.
11:36 Just tucked away, no one comes here.
11:39 Bash.
11:47 [laughter]
11:53 Really?
11:53 And butterfly.
11:55 There you go.
11:57 There you go.
11:57 Sorted.
11:58 Look at this.
11:58 Got flowers everywhere.
12:01 Gorse.
12:02 And they're like this, won't they?
12:04 Look at that.
12:04 It's like a new It's like a freaking new.
12:06 The house facing that way.
12:10 [sighs] Spot on.
12:13 [laughter] Of course we can.
12:14 Wait, tell me this what you just said.
12:18 So, the rule is 3 ft 3 mi.
12:19 So, you've got a hive here.
12:22 Yeah.
12:21 And if you didn't want you I don't like it there,
12:24 you can only move it 3 ft that way, that way, that way, or that way.
12:29 You can't move it over there.
12:31 You'd have to take it 3 mi away.
12:33 Let them settle there, and then bring them back to there after about 2 weeks.
12:37 What Why is that?
12:38 Reorientate.
12:39 You'll see that on Wednesday.
12:42 Wow.
12:41 And you let the bees out.
12:45 [laughter] I'm still going to die.
12:48 [music] Look how good this is looking already.
12:55 As Simon was saying, how good your Anglo-Saxon is.
12:57 And I thought he was like joking, so I was like, not very good.
12:59 Um but look at this.
13:00 They've got some scripture written onto the top of it,
13:02 which says, "Stay victory women,
13:05 sink to the earth, never be wild." Meaning the bees, please stay here.
13:08 Don't go flying off into the woods.
13:11 Be mindful of my good,
13:13 because we're going to like feed them and look after them,
13:14 as each man of food and homeland.
13:17 So, it's like a nice little Anglo-Saxon scripture
13:20 to hope that the bees actually stay here,
13:23 cuz as we said to him,
13:24 they you You just come at the next day and they're just gone, right?
13:28 They just vanish.
13:29 That's the job of a beekeeper to try and stop that.
13:32 So, how do you stop them from There's loads of methods.
13:34 So, you call it a split.
13:36 So, if it's got too full, Yeah.
13:38 you can take half of it away and put it in a box, move it to another site,
13:43 Right.
13:43 and they'll make a queen or you can put a queen with it.
13:45 Yeah, yeah.
13:46 And that's another hive then.
13:47 You bring it back here, you got another hive.
13:49 That's how you build it up.
13:50 Yeah, yeah, so you can actually keep Yeah,
13:52 keep going it rather We're trying to like jump-start it,
13:54 but we we can grow it from there even more.
13:57 So, to buy a queen is about 50 lb.
13:59 Yeah.
13:59 Oh, I buy
14:01 [laughter] Doing 50 of these is expensive.
14:03 To buy a nuke, which you getting on Wednesday and Thursday, they're 350 lb each.
14:10 Per box?
14:11 Per box.
14:12 I don't want to do 50.
14:13 Yes.
14:13 Oh, good god.
14:14 Oh, good god.
14:17 Oh, good god.
14:21 So, you might have to be a bit patient.
14:23 Build it up yourself.
14:26 I would say, guys, if you want to support what we're doing at the 105,
14:29 go grab yourself a t-shirt, but you guys did go and show so
14:33 much love on that impossible made possible design.
14:35 So, things like this are made possible for us to just
14:38 like keep trying to take the farm to the next level.
14:40 So, Yeah, we're going for it, Sam.
14:42 If we can get 20, we're going for it.
14:44 We're committing.
14:46 Just do the math.
14:47 You could get another five hives to go through the winter.
14:49 So, in the spring, you'll have 10.
14:51 Yeah.
14:51 Love it.
14:52 And you just keep doing that.
14:53 I think we we definitely need to scale it.
14:55 The The from the comment section of people saying like
14:56 they want to support and get honey and support the farm, I think we need more.
15:00 And your hives are 130 quid each.
15:03 We'll have a financial talk at the Along with the beer.
15:08 Who would have thought 12 years ago you came to start doing garden at my house,
15:11 then we we built a pumpkin empire together,
15:13 and now we're starting a honey empire.
15:16 What's next?
15:17 I don't know.
15:17 I really I'd love to do my own beer,
15:19 just saying, but I'm not trying to have everyone be like,
15:21 "Oh, he's trying to do a Jamie Clark's
15:22 thing." And always said I want my own beer.
15:24 That We drink enough of it.
15:25 That would be pretty damn good, wouldn't it?
15:26 But yeah, I have I I don't have any granulated sugar.
15:29 I'll say again.
15:30 Buy a 110.
15:31 Oh.
15:33 But it's just like I I don't have granulated sugar.
15:35 I only ever have honey.
15:36 So it just makes sense for it to be our own.
15:38 I'm right in saying does it help with hay fever?
15:41 Like your the local pollen from your area being made.
15:45 Especially anti-andoxidants in it everything cuz what you
15:47 get off there is going to be pure.
15:50 Just going to be filtered wax.
15:51 Yeah, no manufactured crap or anything.
15:52 No, so the stuff you see in the supermarkets that are liquid all the time Yeah.
15:56 has been manufactured.
15:57 It's just sugar in it.
15:58 It's sugar and it's from all over the place.
16:00 They say EU and non-EU, so mainly all the The matter, yeah, it's
16:05 waste stuff.
16:06 That's why you support local small businesses, don't you?
16:08 Yeah.
16:08 Like buy it from there and like all the local beekeepers and stuff.
16:11 Loads [snorts] around here that sell it.
16:12 It's proper honeys.
16:15 Mega.
16:15 Yeah, I'm liking that.
16:15 By the way, this will be great for me cuz like my hay
16:17 fever I'm allergic cuz we literally live behind that tree right there.
16:19 And if what we live that close, so I'm really looking forward to this.
16:22 So we're done here for now.
16:25 Yeah.
16:24 But Wednesday, yeah.
16:26 We're going to get three delivered Yeah.
16:28 from Wales, South Wales.
16:29 Okay.
16:29 And they're coming in a box [laughter] about that big.
16:31 We've got bees with an accent arriving.
16:33 So you'll have to be suited up then.
16:34 Yeah, okay.
16:35 You'll have to shave.
16:36 Right.

19:17 Cuz the queen she just wanders around.
19:19 She's just in there but that's to stop her from getting out.
19:22 This is to stop her from
19:23 So can other bees fit through this but she's so big that she can't get out.
19:26 And it like you that's the one thing you do not want the queen to disappear.

22:19 I do love those cows, but I have to say
22:22 I love these lads more cuz look at this progress.
22:26 Oh my goodness.
22:27 Drainage, drainage.
22:28 We've got drainage.
22:30 We've also got a very big bill coming as soon
22:31 as you tell me how much the pipe and stone was.
22:33 Cuz that piping goes in all the trenches we've dug.
22:36 Stone goes on top to help filter like letting the water through,
22:40 but not the muck and the crap and stuff.
22:41 And then off into the culvert it goes.
22:44 What?
22:44 Has he actually done Oh, he has.
22:46 He's done each one.
22:48 As he goes.
22:48 I thought he was going to like dig, dig, dig and then go filling it in.
22:51 But, nope.
22:52 The boys just blasting on with it.
22:54 Digging it up, draining it up, stoning it up.
22:56 And then once it's all done dropping back in the dirt.
22:58 That's the sort of progress you want
23:00 to see you Monday morning, isn't it, my boy?
23:02 How you doing?
23:03 Great, man.
23:03 Yeah, how are you?
23:05 Loving life.
23:06 It's like we've moved the 110's like moved into the main street.
23:10 Seriously?
23:12 Yeah.
23:11 It's absolutely bliss.
23:12 It's going to be even more beautiful when these bees are flying out everywhere.
23:15 Oh, and they're eating our pumpkins.
23:16 They're going to be putting the honey in our tea.
23:18 It's going to Oh, days.
23:19 Imagine 110 putting in our tea.
23:21 Yeah, yeah, I need to speak to speak
23:23 to you about the financial side of it though.
23:26 Yeah.
23:25 So, I didn't realize how much the bees actually cost to set up.
23:28 That's why we did five.
23:30 Okay.
23:30 When I said I wanted to do 50, I'm going to wait for the actual full numbers.
23:33 But for like the bees and then the things I
23:36 think the bees like alone are like maybe 250 quid.
23:40 Damn.
23:40 And then the unit that they go in is like maybe 110 or something like that, 120.
23:43 [clears throat] So, it's like talking like 500 quid per setup for the bees.
23:51 Yeah.
23:51 And I said I wanted to do 50.
23:52 And Joe said we need 200%
23:54 And Joe said we need to do 100.
23:57 [laughter]
23:56 Flipping heck.
23:58 Dude, it
23:59 We going to need to make a lot of honey.
24:01 I don't know
24:03 I don't know
24:06 Really?
24:05 Yeah, I really really really hope you guys like honey.
24:08 And the thing is though, they could just fly off.
24:09 We could spend all that money on that and if
24:11 one day the bees just went That's this place.
24:14 They could just leave.
24:16 It'll be nice 110.
24:17 Where there's a will there's a 110 way.
24:20 What do you think of the place?
24:21 I like it.
24:22 Yeah.
24:22 And this is only one side of it.
24:23 We've got another side as well.
24:26 I've also talked been talking to Chris.
24:27 I think I'm prepared to sell my kidney to afford the other 50 boxes.
24:32 But Farmer Joe wants to do 110.
24:35 110 hives for the 110 farm.
24:41 [laughter]
24:41 Imagine if we end up spending more
24:42 on the beehives than we do our brand new farm.
24:45 Just casually stuck in traffic.
24:48 [laughter]
24:50 No, you will not pick me up and put me on the other side.
24:53 Look at this machine, man.
24:55 It's just crazy.
24:58 Thank you, sir.
24:59 And again, massive shout to Ashbrook.
25:01 Without them, we'd not be achieving anything that we've been doing
25:04 on the 110 to the capacity that we have been doing.
25:06 So, if you are a business, goes without saying,
25:09 if you need a place to rent from, there you guys.
25:12 Now, I am home.
25:13 Oh my gosh, this day just got away from us.
25:14 It's 20 past 2:00 already.
25:16 I'm starving.
25:16 Feed me.
25:17 No, I didn't I didn't mean you.
25:20 [laughter]
25:19 I meant you.
25:20 What's on the agenda?
25:22 Uh scrambled eggs with ham?
25:23 Scrambled eggs with ham, yes, please.
25:27 Oh, yeah.
25:29 Look at this.

25:53 No.
25:52 I can promise you this time there'll be no pins.
25:57 [laughter]
25:57 When is When is a car mechanic ever
25:59 promised that there's never going to be What?
26:01 I can't promise you mate not being there something else, but
26:04 I want no phallic objects on my vehicle.
26:07 This is a legal binding video agreement.
26:12 But, when can I bring the Defender in?
26:14 Whenever you want.
26:14 Drop it in whenever.
26:16 Ooh.
26:16 As long as the MOT get it dropped off.
26:17 I've seen a few ideas that you guys have sent in about
26:20 the branding for the 110 Honey cuz I've seen like digital versions,
26:22 but I've just been sent a message from Janina.
26:31 Janina?
26:33 I think it says Janina.
26:37 Yeah.
26:36 Ja Janina and Chris Chris
26:40 Krista.

26:43 Like I was talking to you guys about the 110
26:44 with a line going through it making the H, so Honey.
26:47 Um but, I never thought about the line being a di
26:49 di di di di di di di little little B, that's great.
26:52 And Lydia's addition she just said that that the O should be a beehive.
26:56 No, I think it should be a honey pot.
26:57 A honey pot?
26:59 Oh, maybe.
27:00 It's for the honey.
27:02 Yeah.
27:01 If it was a hive, if it's for like a hive, maybe.

27:06 [clears throat] Look at this branding.
27:07 Branded honey, I like it.
27:09 If you guys have got any suggestions
27:10 and ideas you want to put together, feel free.
27:12 Uh I will say as much as I do
27:13 like people using AI for the help of creative process,
27:16 I definitely would 100% want to work with an artist like a real
27:20 artist to draw it and finalize the actual proper design that we do.
27:23 I even speak to all the uh designers I
27:26 work with who are totally okay, not just with me,
27:29 but in general of using AI to help get out the brain of someone
27:33 who can't draw or sketch stuff to help like idea ideaize idealize things,
27:39 but then that not be the Bring ideas to life.
27:41 Bring ideas to life, yeah.
27:42 Uh but not be the finished product,
27:43 and then work with them to then establish that moving forward.
27:46 So yeah, just planting that seed um that if you have got ideas, feel free,
27:50 but we're definitely going to work with some real artists to get it done,
27:52 but uh as you've heard, I need to get the car MOT'd,
27:56 and by some way of a weird way the world works,
28:00 um I'm going to go drop my vehicle off down with Dan,

32:40 It literally looks like it's been absolutely annihilated.
32:46 And that's because it has.
32:48 But it's it is just for the greater good of the land.
32:52 Like just remember what it looks like now in this bomb site
32:55 state cuz eventually it is again just going to be lush green fields.
33:02 Seems like such a distant possibility away.
33:06 I drifted down there.
33:08 That's a big skid mark in it.
33:10 Seems like such a distant like dream away.
33:16 But it'll be like that.
33:18 It'll be there.
33:19 I'm taking shelter underneath this tree cuz it is chucking it down right now
33:23 and Lydia has said that she wants to zoom around with Alfie in the Polaris,
33:28 but unfortunately for her I've got the Polaris key.
33:34 So Joe's going to drop me back off at home.
33:36 And then I think we're going to go
33:37 for a rainy day drive or whatever we're calling this.
33:44 Taxi for Tom.
33:48 Taxi for Tom, yes, yes, my friend.
33:51 You give me ride, yes?
33:52 Thank you, please.
33:53 What in the hell is this god damn stuff falling from the sky?
33:56 It's sunshine.
33:58 I DON'T LIKE IT.
34:00 We need it cuz it's great for the grass and everything,
34:02 but we don't need it till we've finished drying.
34:04 We don't need it yet.
34:06 A little bit late today, please.
34:07 Oh gosh, it just changes the entire vibe of the place.
34:10 Look.
34:11 Thank you for not making me walk home.
34:14 I appreciate it.
34:15 What a guy.
34:16 Now, are you ready for like the best sight ever?
34:21 [laughter] What are you doing to that Polaris, you?
34:27 I am, mate.
34:33 [laughter] Can you see someone in the bushes?
34:38 Chris.
34:38 Chris.
34:39 Who is it?
34:42 IT'S CHRIS!
34:44 CHRIS!
34:46 CHRIS.
34:49 THE moment I went to see him, he just ignored me and went, "Chris.
34:53 Chris.
34:54 Chris."
34:56 How we doing, little man?
34:58 You good?
34:59 Should we go for a drive around?
35:01 Chris.
35:01 Have we had a little drive around?
35:04 Yeah.
35:03 You happy it's Chris?
35:06 Chris.
35:07 Chris.
35:07 He's come to see our bee empire.
35:09 Oh, wow.
35:10 We have agreed though.
35:11 We've just We've kept them in the exact angle that they're facing,
35:14 but we've just moved them to look a little bit more symmetrical.
35:18 Like swooping around.
35:20 Aesthetic aesthetic is everything.
35:23 And because we're also going to then carry that swoop on all the way
35:27 along there cuz they need to be facing that way for the sun.
35:30 And if we're going to do I said 50.
35:32 He said 50 might not actually be possible, but 20 might.
35:35 We'll then carry it all the way
35:36 along there like wrapping around this hedge line.
35:40 It'll be perfect for the angle.
35:41 And then hopefully produce us lots of liquid gold.
35:46 We need to sell bee cam.
35:48 Oh, no.
35:49 Yeah, we're saying put camera there behind it.
35:51 And then we made it to a century.
35:54 We've had a little fun ride around, haven't we?
35:56 Did you enjoy that?
35:59 Yeah.
36:01 [laughter] He has no words.
36:01 He just goes, "Wow." Awesome.
36:05 Awesome.
36:07 It's been A GOOD RIDE AROUND THAT, HASN'T IT?
36:09 THAT'S A good ride around.
36:09 I've seen some bits I've not even seen.
36:11 Yeah, I literally showed Chris.
36:12 I was like, "Watch where this can go." And I
36:13 just took him into places that I'd been on foot, but not in a vehicle.
36:18 Yeah.
36:18 It's just so much still now we're exploring new beds.
36:21 I love it.
36:22 Yeah, I know.
36:23 At any point it says that we're going to fall off the cliff.
36:26 [laughter] We found that mine shaft.
36:27 Yes, we did, love you, mate.
36:29 Did we enjoy our off-road adventures?
36:34 Good, because they have come to an end for today.
36:37 The rain has subsided, and I hope that's the last we see of it,
36:41 even though I don't believe it is.
36:43 And we're back, and I can smell burgers.
36:48 Lime Field burgers being cooked.
36:50 Can you smell them as well?
36:51 They're nice, aren't they?

38:07 You've bent one of the steering arms.
38:10 Look at the light.
38:10 I've not got I didn't do anything.
38:14 Well, somebody's done it.
38:16 Oh, yeah.
38:17 Does that mean it drives a bit to the left Does that mean
38:19 it drives to the left a little bit in more of a direction.
38:22 Yeah, probably.
38:23 Yeah, it feels like it does.
38:24 have to get drives to the left a little bit more of a direction.
38:26 Yeah, I thought it was just a defender.
38:30 [laughter] And you can turn the steering wheel three
38:32 a quarter of the way around and never turn.
38:35 Unbelievable.

38:41 YES.
38:39 OH, GREAT.

38:48 And all these I don't know They they googled it.
38:50 They They did this the stiffened kit.
38:53 The the Oh, we love a bit of stiffened kit, don't we?
38:57 The The upgraded arms are about 150 quid to 200 quid.
39:01 Oh, that's all right.
39:02 It's not bad.
39:02 It's not the end of the world,
39:03 but we don't There's no point putting the standard
39:05 ones on cuz you're just going to bend them again.
39:07 No, I'm not.
39:12 [laughter] Order the stiff kit.
