Imagine winning £15 million on Christmas Day.

0:05.5

The £15 million lotto jackpot must be won on Christmas Day.

0:10.7

There's still time to get in the draw.

0:13.1

Lotto, will you be the next millionaire?

0:16.1

The National Lottery, rules and procedures apply.

0:18.5

Players must be 18 or over.

0:33.7

Music lottery, rules and procedures apply, players must be 18 or over. Surprise, but you weren't expecting an episode during the week. Where are you?

1:00.6

Well, you see, I've been feeling a bit generous lately. Since you guys have been so generous to me, I decided to give back with this episode. But WDF Extra will be the name of that feed. Whether you want to call it a members feed, a premium feed, I don't know, feed me feed. Whatever you like, it's there and it's going to be accessible to those of you who pay $5 or more a month.

And in order to get to the point where we're offering extra content, apart from just offering the episodes a week earlier with no ads or anything like that, I decided to give you a preview of the kind of things you can expect on WDF Extra.

1:47.3

So we can actually talk about it a tiny bit before talking about it becomes obsolete, if you get my meaning.

1:53.8

What I mean by that is, yesterday I made a big deal about how $120 was amazing and now we're nearly $150.

2:00.2

So if anyone who would like to go and contribute

2:02.3

and push us up towards $300, then this is the kind of stuff you guys can expect.

2:07.7

In other words, if you contribute now, you're going to be helping me make more of these

2:12.5
