    I can't wait for both Dan and Stuart to travel and record these every single day of advent again, and that's definitely how it works, nobody try to tell me it's all pre-recorded in one sitting or any of the kind of rubbish, it's all recorded on the day and one of them has to make the trip to the other's place every day of advent, it's part of the advent calendar lore just like the grass masks.

    • @MegaVikingen
      @MegaVikingen 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah I agree. And even though it's easier for Stuart to travel with the smaller calendar, I think Dan should come to Stuart's house like once a week to make it a bit fairer. Even if he has to borrow his neighbor's dodgy (and mud-gold colored) Ford Transit to move the Ikea calendar shelf unit (called "Ädvönt" I think).
