Slabs to Abs - The Epic Journey
Wil & Lehmo attempt to lose the flab while adding the abs - all in six weeks!
What's Wil Doing on the Pension?
Sure they get angry at young people and they don't know how to use an ATM; but in all seriousness there's a hell of a lot that pensioners seem to be missing out on - one of those things being a decent pay packet.
So Wil has decided to see how tough it really is out there for pensioners - for the next two weeks he will live on the old-age pension.
Wil rides bus for first time
Much to Lehmo's amusement, Wil's finding the public transport is the toughest thing about living on the pension!
Lehmo has drawn up a budget that Wil has got to live one.
