I know some people get annoyed by the Meanwhile preamble but I love seeing how intricate and weirdly specific the writers can get with their descriptions lol
I love it
I think it's a fun outlet for writers to compose these, but I also think it can be used as a creative time filler 😂
Yeah, I find it annoying. Didn't bother me when it was a short sentence, now it's a long monologue. But I know some people like it, so I just ignore and move on.
It's about a minute of nonsense and not funny. So, now I skip that minute.
It was funny the first hundred times that format just got old. It's basically like just pick a random wikipedia article and use some of terminology.
"Tidy" is a word used in Wales for a _whole load_ of meanings. Other than the obvious "neat & tidy" one, it can mean that something is good, excellent, astounding, enjoyable, sad but under the circumstances not unbearable (like a funeral), expensive, a bargain... It all depends on context.
It's also a great "get out" word, say when someone is telling you of their (or more likely, their plainly average, on a good day, kid) exploits and you stop paying close enough attention to know how to answer it when they finally stop talking. You will know they want a positive answer, so you say, "Oh, tidy!" in an "enthusiastic" manner. You can even say that someone's funeral was "a tidy service (or a tidy send-off, depending on how well you know the family)" or "a tidy (a good-sized) crowd came." A good, but not excellent rugby match is "a tidy game", and so on. It's a brilliant word lol. The trick is knowing which tone of voice to use - warm and friendly, cold and sarcastic... Whatever is appropriate!
In this case I reckon he's used it in two ways. The tidy mouse (the lovely, sweet-natured mouse) has a tidy habit (likes things in their right place). I think it's so cute! 🏴
Thanks!😊
Came here to explain that, but you've done a better job than I could.
Fabulous. Thanks for sharing, from California.
Saved me a load of typing there butt. Tidy!
@@TrackDayTona But now you're going to have to explain why "butt" isn't an insult!
Okay that mouse is the cutest thing ever
Yeah that mouse should change it's species to GOAT, because that's what it is.
i agree do not hate the mouse
Isn't that an old story though? I heard about a mouse tidying up a workstation years ago.
@@AnonymOus-ss9jj yes and no. The reason it was called welsh tidy mouse is because there was already a tidy mouse from a couple of years back or so
@AnonymOus-ss9jj
There was indeed a very similar story from some 4 years ago, so similar as to seem like the same one.
I don't know why it's come up in the news like something new, but anyways, it's a darn nifty and cute mouse, and altogether a good and uplifting story to share yet again.
This is perhaps a good place to add that the colloquial Welsh term for a microwave oven is 'popty ping'.
Now I feel like a nerd😅
Nah. I'll just stick with the traditional sleep while working.
Brilliant!!! (Why didn't I think of that?)
😅😅👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm an artist's model, and I was doing exactly that earlier today 😁
I took a tour bus in Wales once, and as we drove through farmland with cows out to pasture, the guide said “On the left, you can see black Welsh cows. We called them that because they are black, because they are Welsh, and because they are cows.” 😄🐄🏴
"Lucid Dreaming Headband Device". Because dreaming about turning up for work in your underpants doesn't feel real enough.

You should see what our cats can do here in Wales. They leave notes telling us to tidy our own stuff up, because they're sick of listening to the mice complaining about cluttered workspaces.

Hey! You forgot the Welsh Corgis acting as fairy steeds! Wales is completely magical.
The field mice in my basement need to watch that video. They just leave poop all over my workbench.💩
It's the one thing they make, other than more mice. If you keep taking it away they'll think you like it, and leave you some more :)
On a more practical note, they can't stand the smell of peppermint oil, so you could try that.
Also, get a cat, it shoves stuff off the workbench but could reduce the mouse droppings.
Mrrrp
I love that wee mouse 🐭 🥰
That Owl with glasses looked a lot like John Oliver!!😂
John Owliver?
Tidy Mouse - Mighty Mouse's lesser superhero brother from Wales.
Underrated comment.
Oh my gosh, that mouse is adorable!
That mouse is wonderful. I watched him tidy up. It was so kool and fun and plesant to watch. Disney has a movie on this little mouse. Just wait..😊
While some find the detailed "Meanwhile" introductions irritating, I enjoy seeing the writers craft such intricate and oddly specific descriptions. Their creative ramblings never fail to amuse me.
Really? Who tf finds them irritating, they are awesome!!
If there’s a Tidy Mouse™️ in Wales, does that mean whenever Welsh people can’t find their car keys, the Chaos Shrew is responsible?
"Tidy" has a second meaning in Wales: it can also mean "great," "fantastic," etc. So Welsh Tidy Mouse is a little play on words.
Isn't that an old story though? I heard about a mouse tidying up a workstation years ago.
@@AnonymOus-ss9jjtry harder next time, at least make your username "anonymouse" ;)
@@AnonymOus-ss9jj I don't know about this story, but sometimes 'news' is 'olds'.
@@AnonymOus-ss9jj The man in this case, Rodney Holbrook, said it is not the first time he has come across an organised rodent. When living in Bristol in 2019, his friend, Steve Mckears, reached out for help fixing up a night camera when another mouse was keeping their shed in order.
"That one video went viral and reached people around the world," he said, "So I can't believe here in Builth Wells we have had the same thing happen years later."
Someone PLEASE animate Colbert doing exactly what he claims to do in order to bring us Meanwhile!😂
Please please 🙏
AI created video will really work here
I second the motion.
I was literally just thinking that..

If they did that I'd start watching that part.
That mouse is freaking precious. ❤️ 🐁
Thank God these late shows are back to distract us from reality
Jedi Uncle Fester killed me.

Mister Messy never hangs around, when he hears this mighty sound, "I will put your things away." That means that Tidy Mouse is on the way
You're that old, eh?
Here he comes to save the day.
Yep.
We have the best mice in Wales - mine do my laundry for me and cook a superb spaghetti bolognaise.
Is that spaghetti or mouse tails?
Give the mouse a bit of cheese as a reward.
This mouse, like all other mice, would prefer jelly beans, dried apricots, sunflower seeds, and Reeses.
Working while asleep… that is the first premise of The Matrix.
At this point, the entire GOP could be a meanwhile segment.

I really hope someone at the Late Show is archiving all the short opening monologues to 'Meanwhile'. They are masterpieces of writing in and of themselves.
Unfortunately, Gallagher is no longer with us to apply for the Smashing Pumpkins job.
Hah!
This comment is so under liked.
My guess is those dream device people just really wanted to make a lucid dreaming device, but couldn't find funding, so they pitched it as a way to help people 'work' while in their sleep, to convince some companies to fund it.
Capitalism!
"We have a cool idea we want to try."
"I don't know..."
"Um.., it'll make the misery of the common people absolute!"
"Yes! Here's all the money!"
Well whatever their reasoning, I'm just glad they're helping more people with the unbelievably fun and practical skill of lucid dreaming. 🤷🏼
Sounds like me every night I go to sleep working at a job I was at 20 years ago. Luckily for me Im 1000x worse at that job in my dreams and they would never want me back. Never work at a steel mill people!
"We have 5 ingredients...which of the 25 ways would you like them presented to you today?" 🌮👀

Till my gramps was 90 he used to chill and watch evening tv with a hand grip trainer. His favorite thing was to give you a handshake and look you in the eye and squeeze.
That mad man was cutting down trees with an ax in his 80's when he still had chest staples from being split gizzard to gullet in a quadruple bypass.
He fought till the end, a month shy of 100 but he didn't know it was us he was fighting any longer.
The secret to him almost hitting 100 was bacon and eggs with lucky strikes for the first 60 years, then a shot of brandy every night for the next 40. Either that or just be evil, it's a hell of a preservative apparently.
99 IS the hundredth year.
If he was approaching his 100th birthday, he was completing his 100th year. After the birthday he would be living through his 101 year.
@@oltedders Which he didn't quite complete, at age 99.8
@jpdemer5
Despite not beginning his 101st year on his 100th birthday, he still lived out most of his one hundredth year.
A one year old child begins his 2nd year on his his 1st birthday. Your grandfather began his 100th year on his 99th birthday.
Well...he lived in an era when our country was having it's best years economically...end of WW2 to early 1970's - the Arab Oil Embargo bringing high inflation. Today...the USA is a disaster with Donald what's his name & his maga buddies.
Just my 2 cents worth of course.

Mice can actually be born with OCD, so that is likely why the mouse was cleaning his things. It got used to the routine of seeing them in the box so when they weren't in the box it got nervous and had a compulsion to fix the problem.
No some genetically mutated lab rats suffer from ocd. One must have made a break for it and sailed to the Isles.
Another point to Wales being Narnia. Their national animal is a Welsh Dragon.
Sure Scotland has a unicorn, but with Wales it's a bit on the nose 😉
As a car guy, that Buick LeSabre bit was on point.
I'm 66 and literally was shopping for a used Buick LaSabre,ended up with a used Lincoln towncar! 😮😮😮
I've played Hypnospace Outlaw, there's no way in heck I'm trusting a headband that lets you do work while you sleep.
If that mouse is actually putting things back correctly, then we may have to look at dealing with some escaped lab mice. If they already managed to reproduce, it may be too late.
Damn you National Institute of Mental Health!! Playing god will only lead to our downfall, and the rise of the mighty mice empire!!
Something something 42.
Are you pondering what I’m pondering?

Yeah dude, they're marketing that shit ALL wrong... Like - wtF??

The world needs a little light and cheer, so thank you, Welsh Tidy Mouse, you have at least restored my faith in mice!

A 'Meanwhile' intro I finally understood! Love some galette du roi!
Topical monologue is everything ❤
I sure hope that mouse is getting his choice of cheese & crackers every night!
Tidy mouse is gonna make a great children’s book.
Teach young kids to be tidy, and organized. 👍🏽
President owl with glasses? That’s just John Oliver!
Grandpa might've ripped the door off the LeSabre, but he'll not drive it faster than you can run. I've never been behind a Buick that drove over 15 mph or was driven by someone as young as a septagenarian. And I'm a week or two away from buying a Buick and getting back at the world at 15 mph... without using my damned signal but certainly using both lanes.
I'm 66 and I literally was shopping for a used Buick LaSabre ,ended up with a used Lincoln towncar!😊😊😊 Big V8! Get outta my way Whipper Snapper!😅😅😅
@@dianewilliams1125 I like your style. A used towncar is exactly the kind of car I need. I'm 61 and I hate my Civic with a passion - can't see past the A-pillars and 4 cylinders is a half-engine. Where I live all the muscle cars are driven by blind octogenarians for some reason. One old feller retired out of the Hells Angels affiliate club nearby, sold his HOG and bought a convertible mustang V8. He drives it like it's a Buick! It won't surprise me to see him park the car in a handicap spot and get out with a white cane.
@@likebot. That's so funny,just last week an old guy came up beside me in a newer Mustang (in my opinion those aren't real Mustangs,my 66 was) he was gunning his motor . I have a massive V8 in my car,needless to say I left him in the dust! Go Big! PEACE!
@@dianewilliams1125 LOL
I am a lawyer and I’m going to bill for the time I am sleep working. Cool.
So now, when somebody in management wants to know "who the hell dreamed up this cockamamie scheme?", they'll get the literal answer.
Meanwhile equals fun and laughs.Thank you.
Thanks Stephen, always nice to see your Show!
Fun fact: You don't need your dreams to be lucid (and you don't need to even rember having dreamt when you wake up) in order to train problem solving.
Everyone dreams multiple times a night, and training to solve problems encountered during the day is exactly what dreams are about, lucid or not.
In Wales the word 'Tidy' is used for 'Good' so 'That's tidy' means 'That's good'.
You are special. You are worthy. You have a kind of magic that can never be imitated. You are a blessing. You are spectacular. You are most beautiful when you are yourself.
If I want a lucid dream I just need to stop taking my sleeping medication… How that works is beyond me.

@@mrmoshpotato Through a couple jumps of linguistics, sure! Mostly about "a gross" being a somewhat large measurement.
@@TheRealPentigan Agreed. Because Taco Bell is largely gross.

News for that headband: I ALREADY dream about problems at work!
It’s always good to see what the Meanwhile Conglomerate Industries Incorporated LLC are up to.
My friend continuously had long slender objects disappearing from his cabin. Pens and pencils, tweezers, knives, etc were just missing. One night we saw a huge packrat run fast into a hole in the floor trim with a pen or something. We opened the floor and there were a few dozen missing objects in there.
The packrat was round like a softball almost, and it was amazing what a tiny crack in the floor trim he fit through with this stuff. I guess we ruined his nest because all of that stopped after this.
Mark Drakeford does look a lot like an owl in glasses.
There was another tidy mouse caught on video in Gloucestershire 2019
Take that, high-end wine. People have been making fun of boxed wine for far too long.

King cake - galette de rois
A king cake, also known as a three kings cake, is a cake associated in many countries with Epiphany. Its form and ingredients are variable, but in most cases a fève such as a figurine, often said to represent the Christ Child, is hidden inside. After the cake is cut, whoever gets the fève wins a prize.
And I've gotten 2 so far this season.😀
Do they pair that cake with the little desserts that look like a chubby nun?
A similar thing - which is sadly dying out because making it is a task and a half! - in the UK is Christmas pudding. It's a steamed "cake" - very similar in makeup to the typical Xmas cake; packed full of dried fruit, nuts, maybe fresh cherries "sweet spices" - nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger... All these ingredients, that is their presence or the amounts, are going to be personal choices.
Once the mixture is ready (well mixed) the tradition was to stir a silver sixpenny coin in (no idea what is used now, sixpenny "bits" stopped being circulated 50+ years ago). Then it is steamed for hours!
It is made months in advance, alongside the cake, and they both get "fed" every few weeks with a tablespoon or two of alcohol (usually brandy, port or sherry - the "fruitier" drinks rather than the grain-based. Although I don't doubt that some people would use whisky!) This keeps the cake fresh and the fruit moist - even the dried fruit. Oh yes, the different fruits for cake and pudding are mixed in a bowl overnight and a few tablespoons of the alcohol are sprinkled over the contents. Start as you mean to go on! 😂
not sure...probably

The point of Taco Bell is that you don't have to make it. Who would, if they weren't being paid minimum wage?
Is literally the worst fast food around
You can improve the food and even save money making the stuff yourself with selections from the grocery store.
Tomatoes - slice them.
Lettuce - tear or chop
Cheese - buy pre-shredded or save money (and de-clumping additives) by getting a block and shredding it yourself
Meat/meat substitute - can be beef, turkey, pork, mushroom based, tofu based, beans, whatever you want
Seasoning - even available in an economic large container
Tortillas - available in corn, flour, spinach, gluten free and other varieties.
-
Is it more work? Sure, but you can involve the family. Even younger kids can wash their hands and tear up lettuce.
When it's 2:30 AM, you want Taco Bell, and you live out in the middle of nowhere like I do, then a meal kit would be nice. I can get everything right except the meat, and they don't include the meat they use, so it's not a meal kit.
Minimum wage is $14.35 per hour here in Arizona. That's DAMN good pay where I live.
