WEBVTT
00:00:55.340 --> 00:01:01.799
It's the actual one. I can't believe I found
00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:05.260
this thing for five bucks at a local antique
00:01:05.260 --> 00:01:08.000
shop. I think that's the best one I've found.
00:01:08.939 --> 00:01:12.680
It's very impressive. He does spin. I think there's
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:16.060
supposed to be a ball here. Oh, that makes sense.
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:19.480
There's supposed to be a ball here. Incorrect.
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:21.640
There's supposed to be a sausage there. Yes,
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:25.299
well, there's a cheese here for now. Okay, that's
00:01:25.299 --> 00:01:32.579
close enough, I guess. It really goes. Man. I
00:01:32.579 --> 00:01:34.319
can't put it down now until it stops or it's
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:38.799
going to go away. I love it. That's fun. I know.
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.980
That is fun. He's so cool. So we've got now an
00:01:42.980 --> 00:01:50.519
elephant. Anyway, Series 19. Let's get rid of
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:53.079
Reddit because it's eating up all of my fans.
00:01:53.900 --> 00:01:57.319
whatever reddit does is this our first debrief
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:02.980
in my new place or no um second one i think it's
00:02:02.980 --> 00:02:07.040
the second one yeah we now have a couch it's
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.659
a lovely looking couch we still have zero art
00:02:10.659 --> 00:02:12.719
on the walls because that's my job and i have
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:18.759
been exhausted i mean fucking mood man yeah uh
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:23.430
before we start i don't know if you Oh my gosh.
00:02:25.110 --> 00:02:30.310
I don't know if you watched Ed's podcast with
00:02:30.310 --> 00:02:36.550
Matt. I did as soon as I woke up. Did something
00:02:36.550 --> 00:02:45.310
bug you about that video? I don't know. Like
00:02:45.310 --> 00:02:51.569
something did seem a bit odd. I couldn't tell
00:02:51.569 --> 00:02:54.250
if that was just because I was tired. What was
00:02:54.250 --> 00:02:57.530
it? I'll tell you what it was. It was, there's
00:02:57.530 --> 00:03:03.009
a discrepancy between when the camera shows them
00:03:03.009 --> 00:03:08.150
talking regularly, the door is closed. When it
00:03:08.150 --> 00:03:10.689
is a top -down perspective, the door is open.
00:03:12.030 --> 00:03:14.830
Oops. And it's one of those things where once
00:03:14.830 --> 00:03:16.930
I saw it, I couldn't unsee it, and I was like,
00:03:16.969 --> 00:03:20.180
what is happening? Like, what? fresh hell of
00:03:20.180 --> 00:03:23.719
editing are they doing here where because i can't
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:27.080
tell whether they had the door open or closed
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:32.319
for the actual interview but from the top down
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:36.919
perspective the door is open so i'm like what's
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.819
happening is the door actually open is it closed
00:03:39.819 --> 00:03:43.780
schrodinger's caravan maybe what's happening
00:03:43.780 --> 00:03:46.560
maybe they did what we did a couple weeks ago,
00:03:46.659 --> 00:03:48.599
and completely fucked up their recording and
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:52.240
had to do it again. But, like, but you can see
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:57.580
their lips moving to the same... Yeah, I don't,
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:01.340
I didn't, I was so tired, I literally, my husband
00:04:01.340 --> 00:04:03.639
woke me up, he said, it's two o 'clock, get out
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:07.180
of bed. So, I stumbled out into the front room
00:04:07.180 --> 00:04:14.800
and watched that, and then, now we're here. Mm
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:24.300
-hmm. Well. Well. Let's talk about. Episode 10.
00:04:24.379 --> 00:04:27.860
The Clever Song. Episode 10. And I just looked
00:04:27.860 --> 00:04:32.959
up what the lineup for Champion of Champion of
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:35.600
Champions is going to look like. And holy white
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:39.540
men, Batman. I know. Because we've got Sam Campbell.
00:04:40.259 --> 00:04:47.360
We've got John Robbins. Andy Zaltzman. matt baiton
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:51.420
and like don't get me wrong i love all of them
00:04:51.420 --> 00:04:59.399
but this is a lot we'll get on to the task we'll
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:04.920
get on to the series 20 task because i have something
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:11.300
cast yes sorry i i just woke up like a couple
00:05:11.300 --> 00:05:14.569
hours ago But yeah, I have subtitled my notes
00:05:14.569 --> 00:05:17.430
for this week. Where did the time go? Because
00:05:17.430 --> 00:05:19.430
how in the hell has it already been 10 weeks?
00:05:19.589 --> 00:05:25.269
I can't believe it's over. What a journey we've
00:05:25.269 --> 00:05:33.050
been on. I know. Oh my goodness. Also, apologies
00:05:33.050 --> 00:05:37.769
to any viewers right now. I don't know how things
00:05:37.769 --> 00:05:41.259
are. are where you are uh the rednecks where
00:05:41.259 --> 00:05:46.939
i am have been going for three days so apologies
00:05:46.939 --> 00:05:52.319
for any explosions that come through also my
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:54.660
tummy is legitimately very well this morning
00:05:54.660 --> 00:05:57.360
so we'll see how long it goes before i have to
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.439
run away i forgot that it was the fourth of july
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:02.699
this morning so i was driving into work and i'm
00:06:02.699 --> 00:06:06.120
like there's no cars On the highway. What's happening?
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:10.819
And I was like, oh, right. It's a national holiday.
00:06:11.500 --> 00:06:15.579
That doesn't feel like it. I have to admit. Man,
00:06:15.660 --> 00:06:19.279
never have I been less proud to be an American,
00:06:19.379 --> 00:06:22.040
and that's saying a lot, because I've never been
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:26.819
proud to be an American. I mean, my name and
00:06:26.819 --> 00:06:28.939
gender change has been sitting in the court system
00:06:28.939 --> 00:06:33.519
since October. Fucking hell. It's just not gonna
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:36.579
happen at this point. Like, earlier, one of my
00:06:36.579 --> 00:06:40.939
neighbors was blasting Seegers on the road again.
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:46.339
Which, like, great tune. Solid tune. I don't
00:06:46.339 --> 00:06:48.139
want to hear your music today. I'm not in the
00:06:48.139 --> 00:06:53.439
mood. No. So, we have a nice little distraction.
00:06:54.519 --> 00:07:01.379
Yeah, let's talk about the final episode. Of
00:07:01.379 --> 00:07:06.879
Series 19. And right off the bat, I've got a
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:14.699
bone to pick with it. Oh? It's so small and so
00:07:14.699 --> 00:07:16.920
minor, but it's the things that stick out to
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:20.600
me. Because the very first thing Greg says about
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:26.430
Alex, and... Honestly, he was - The winning the
00:07:26.430 --> 00:07:28.810
bed thing? Yeah, honestly, he was fighting for
00:07:28.810 --> 00:07:31.389
his life the entire intro this week. That was
00:07:31.389 --> 00:07:33.889
so - I love when he does that. I love when he
00:07:33.889 --> 00:07:38.029
just has to pause and is like - We've done this
00:07:38.029 --> 00:07:40.529
eight times, I'm not allowed to restart again.
00:07:41.290 --> 00:07:45.089
Yeah. But - Yeah, tears every night when he wets
00:07:45.089 --> 00:07:46.889
the bed. And that's the thing that bothers me,
00:07:46.930 --> 00:07:49.230
because later Alex says he doesn't know how to
00:07:49.230 --> 00:07:54.189
cry. Right. Which - Well, maybe Greg was talking
00:07:54.189 --> 00:07:58.029
about a different type of tears. Oh, God. But
00:07:58.029 --> 00:08:00.569
I love that because it shows they really don't
00:08:00.569 --> 00:08:03.009
coordinate at all what they're going to say to
00:08:03.009 --> 00:08:07.149
or about one another. Yeah. So, yeah. Alex wets
00:08:07.149 --> 00:08:09.970
the bed, which I feel like we already knew that.
00:08:10.509 --> 00:08:16.009
Yeah. Seems about right. And can we talk about
00:08:16.009 --> 00:08:19.740
Matt's... Oh my god, his tiny little shorts.
00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:22.759
Before we talk about his outfit, which I was
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:28.779
obsessed with, I miss the days when the cast
00:08:28.779 --> 00:08:31.620
would coordinate matching outfits for the finale.
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.399
I miss those days. It happened like two or three
00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:39.379
times. So for this one, it's... Yeah, but once
00:08:39.379 --> 00:08:43.740
you do it, it's just so good. You can't unsee
00:08:43.740 --> 00:08:46.399
it. So we've got Jason in his regular... I see
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:49.360
it the other way. I like that it's a little treat
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.539
that every now and then a cast decides to do
00:08:52.539 --> 00:08:54.940
that. But let's be real. Jason wasn't going to
00:08:54.940 --> 00:08:58.100
change his clothes. He owns one entire outfit,
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:02.179
and he just wears it every day. Yeah, he is a
00:09:02.179 --> 00:09:05.519
cartoon character. Says the cartoon character.
00:09:08.100 --> 00:09:13.399
I mean, we've got Fatihah looking exquisitely
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.960
gorgeous as always. We've got Jason in his regular
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:20.080
outfit. We've got Matt wearing whatever the fuck
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:22.820
that was. I mean, I was obsessed with it. I loved
00:09:22.820 --> 00:09:26.039
it. Stevie's prize task was so good. Because
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:28.379
it's just like she was sitting there in a jumper.
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.059
I did not see that. I know. Yeah, I didn't see
00:09:30.059 --> 00:09:32.879
that coming. Well, and it was funny because...
00:09:33.309 --> 00:09:36.490
I forget where we heard this from, but Jason
00:09:36.490 --> 00:09:39.610
was really, really sick for the last two episodes.
00:09:39.909 --> 00:09:42.509
Oh, you could hear it, especially when he was
00:09:42.509 --> 00:09:45.950
presenting his prize task. Yeah, and so he had,
00:09:46.110 --> 00:09:48.529
like, what, a stomach bug or something? A food
00:09:48.529 --> 00:09:51.429
poisoning is, I think, what I heard. Yeah, and
00:09:51.429 --> 00:09:55.850
you can see it when you rewatch the live team
00:09:55.850 --> 00:10:00.769
tasks that Stevie specifically, like, does not
00:10:00.769 --> 00:10:04.210
celebrate. Because she wants to make sure that
00:10:04.210 --> 00:10:07.250
Jason is okay. And I actually did see that when
00:10:07.250 --> 00:10:11.049
I watched the last episode back. Episode 9 back.
00:10:11.269 --> 00:10:14.789
Because, like, of course Jason's like, yeah!
00:10:14.990 --> 00:10:17.970
And Stevie's like, high five! And then he goes
00:10:17.970 --> 00:10:21.929
up on stage and just smashes shit anyway. Yeah,
00:10:21.950 --> 00:10:26.789
that must have really sucked. Any kind of, like,
00:10:26.809 --> 00:10:30.659
nausea type pain, in my opinion. Like, the worst
00:10:30.659 --> 00:10:35.159
type of pain to be in. Like, I've got IBS, and
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:38.320
that ruins your day. And you don't even particularly
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:42.620
feel nasty. You're just not at your peak, really.
00:10:42.820 --> 00:10:45.419
I don't want to be doing anything. Your stomach
00:10:45.419 --> 00:10:49.299
hurts, and you're tied to a single room. I can't
00:10:49.299 --> 00:10:51.700
imagine doing anything like that with food poisoning.
00:10:51.899 --> 00:10:54.139
I also don't think I've ever had food poisoning
00:10:54.139 --> 00:10:57.779
in my life. Oh, I definitely have. It's not fun.
00:10:59.309 --> 00:11:02.850
i i've got one of those college student iron
00:11:02.850 --> 00:11:09.029
stomachs i think perk of growing up poor rosie's
00:11:09.029 --> 00:11:12.850
yeah rosie's outfit i liked very sparkly and
00:11:12.850 --> 00:11:14.990
then when she had to go up on stage for the live
00:11:14.990 --> 00:11:18.710
task she took her heels off and she was like
00:11:18.710 --> 00:11:21.990
squirming around in her short little dress or
00:11:21.990 --> 00:11:24.710
her little skirt and i'm like oh my gosh yeah
00:11:24.710 --> 00:11:27.309
i love like i get i get that you want to like
00:11:27.309 --> 00:11:30.250
be oh stevie's was gorgeous i was even looking
00:11:30.250 --> 00:11:33.149
for it and it's like no you genuinely can't tell
00:11:33.149 --> 00:11:35.610
it just looks like she's wearing a big bulky
00:11:35.610 --> 00:11:39.730
jumper which to metagame that we know that the
00:11:39.730 --> 00:11:45.429
studio is always an icebox yeah but yeah her
00:11:45.429 --> 00:11:49.399
her prize task was really good And then before
00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:53.940
we get to the prize task, we got to talk about
00:11:53.940 --> 00:11:58.139
renewing their vows, which is a completely normal
00:11:58.139 --> 00:12:02.279
thing to do. Even before that, Greg says that
00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:05.039
Alex thinks that Rachel's stories are boring.
00:12:05.259 --> 00:12:09.519
That was so funny. I can't believe he name dropped
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:12.340
her. He's only done it a few times and it's always
00:12:12.340 --> 00:12:16.480
horrible. Oh my gosh, it's so funny. I loved
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:21.470
that. his wife rachel i was like i mean excuse
00:12:21.470 --> 00:12:24.389
me and when he does that like this one especially
00:12:24.389 --> 00:12:28.070
it raised three questions for me one if this
00:12:28.070 --> 00:12:32.389
isn't playing shit up for the audience then what
00:12:32.389 --> 00:12:37.789
the fuck is it Two, what must Rachel think of
00:12:37.789 --> 00:12:40.789
these intros where she's inserted into them?
00:12:41.070 --> 00:12:44.690
I hope she thinks they're hilarious. And three,
00:12:44.769 --> 00:12:48.169
yeah, was Greg warned about the wedding vows
00:12:48.169 --> 00:12:53.169
Alex got off the internet? So funny. I mean,
00:12:53.169 --> 00:12:56.049
he must not have been. Yeah, he completely goes
00:12:56.049 --> 00:12:58.330
along with it, which I love. I mean, he's like,
00:12:58.470 --> 00:13:00.990
just give me the next one. Give me the next one.
00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:06.379
The renewing of the wedding vows goes like this.
00:13:06.860 --> 00:13:09.980
I, Alex Horn, solemnly swear to protect you till
00:13:09.980 --> 00:13:14.220
the day one of us is dead. The end. I mean, we
00:13:14.220 --> 00:13:18.039
already knew that, Alex. And then we have...
00:13:18.220 --> 00:13:20.919
I, Greg Davis, do solemnly swear to express my
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:23.620
respect and admiration for you as often as I
00:13:23.620 --> 00:13:26.879
breathe each breath. From today onward, you and
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:30.159
I will be one in heart, body, and mind. You are
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:33.200
my sunrise and sunset, and my day starts and
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.700
ends with you. I'm the luckiest person alive
00:13:35.700 --> 00:13:38.019
to be standing with you today and to be facing
00:13:38.019 --> 00:13:41.059
life with you every day. Let us build a home,
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:44.340
a life, and a family from these bonds and promise
00:13:44.340 --> 00:13:46.700
to stick together through all life's challenges.
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:49.820
And then, for some reason, a Backstreet Boys
00:13:49.820 --> 00:13:53.000
lyric, you are my fire, my one desire, and that's
00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:56.820
fucking the end of the vows. So I have some notes
00:13:56.820 --> 00:14:03.299
on this. I forget who, I apologize. Someone found
00:14:03.299 --> 00:14:05.860
these vows on the internet. So this clown just
00:14:05.860 --> 00:14:08.779
went onto the internet and found some vows. Yeah,
00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:14.240
it was our anonymous writer friend. Okay, yeah.
00:14:14.259 --> 00:14:17.879
Pointed that out. And I hate to do it so early,
00:14:18.059 --> 00:14:22.340
I have to run away. Okay. Sorry. No, you're good.
00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:29.620
I'll just talk about... I'll vamp. I guess. Alright,
00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:34.600
so... We got those vows. I should probably keep
00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:37.000
these up so that I can write a fic with them
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:43.059
in it or something, I don't know. We do have
00:14:43.059 --> 00:14:49.690
in... A later task, we already have a fic up
00:14:49.690 --> 00:14:58.470
by, let me find it, by P. Willie, and it's called
00:14:58.470 --> 00:15:05.429
I Need You, but it's K -N -E -E hyphen D. And
00:15:05.429 --> 00:15:10.110
it's Alex demonstrates how good he is at staying
00:15:10.110 --> 00:15:15.450
still on his knees for ten minutes. So that,
00:15:15.610 --> 00:15:24.870
I think, was the first... Nope. Anonymous...
00:15:24.870 --> 00:15:27.669
Oh, yeah, that's right. The Wedding Vows thing
00:15:27.669 --> 00:15:36.169
has been fic by one of our wonderful anonymous
00:15:36.169 --> 00:15:41.490
writers. It's called Believe When I Say. So go
00:15:41.490 --> 00:15:47.019
check that out. And I'm looking right now on
00:15:47.019 --> 00:15:58.899
AO3 for anything that is more of this episode.
00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:04.019
I think that's it for now. And also, completely
00:16:04.019 --> 00:16:08.279
unrelated, but because I have this page open,
00:16:08.539 --> 00:16:13.500
go check out Illuminescence. on AO3, because
00:16:13.500 --> 00:16:20.940
they just posted a zine? Is that how you pronounce
00:16:20.940 --> 00:16:27.299
it? A zine? And it is a Latin Taskmaster zine,
00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:29.220
and it's really, really, really, really good,
00:16:29.299 --> 00:16:32.600
and it's super impressive. So go check that out,
00:16:32.620 --> 00:16:39.250
because it's amazing. It's like the entire thing
00:16:39.250 --> 00:16:44.710
is in Latin, and then it also has... What's it
00:16:44.710 --> 00:16:50.590
called? It has... Translations is the word that
00:16:50.590 --> 00:16:53.649
I was looking for. So yeah, go check that out.
00:16:54.450 --> 00:16:57.570
I have also... Well, 2 ,000 hits, that's a lot.
00:16:58.450 --> 00:17:03.850
I guess, okay. Anyway, I just finished my clone
00:17:03.850 --> 00:17:07.599
fic that I've been... writing 24 chapters, 12
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:11.200
,000 words. It's called An Average Day for an
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:15.819
Alex Clone, based on the clone theory that Alex
00:17:15.819 --> 00:17:19.539
has a bunch of clones, so that's exciting. I
00:17:19.539 --> 00:17:24.400
will be, over the course of the next couple of
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:29.400
days, be posting a couple of fics that are just
00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:39.109
like, based on my visceral reactions of um of
00:17:39.109 --> 00:17:43.430
like feeling that this fandom has been very well
00:17:43.430 --> 00:17:46.650
fed recently uh especially during this series
00:17:46.650 --> 00:17:51.049
so be on the lookout for those and then i'll
00:17:51.049 --> 00:17:54.910
be posting what will be my longest fic yet over
00:17:54.910 --> 00:17:59.269
the course of 37 days i think that's how many
00:17:59.269 --> 00:18:04.670
chapters i have um 23 ,000 words, so that's exciting.
00:18:04.890 --> 00:18:10.529
So keep an eye out for that. But anyway... Where
00:18:10.529 --> 00:18:20.529
are my notes? Yeah, so that's a thing. I, as
00:18:20.529 --> 00:18:23.730
you can tell if you're watching this on video,
00:18:24.009 --> 00:18:28.890
recently just moved into a new apartment and
00:18:28.890 --> 00:18:32.940
we... have done everything, we've unpacked everything
00:18:32.940 --> 00:18:35.519
except for all of the art that we need to put
00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:39.500
up on the walls. And we have a lot. And I have
00:18:39.500 --> 00:18:44.819
slowly been making progress on getting the art
00:18:44.819 --> 00:18:47.960
ready to put up on the walls. So yesterday I
00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:51.759
spent my entire afternoon and evening before
00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:59.559
bed making a cork board. With all of my pins
00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:02.059
that I have, because I have a lot of pins, and
00:19:02.059 --> 00:19:05.440
then putting some art on that. And that took
00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:10.220
a long time. And then I used to wear a lot of
00:19:10.220 --> 00:19:14.539
friendship bracelets on my wrist. It's like a
00:19:14.539 --> 00:19:18.819
thing that started in 2009 when I was at camp.
00:19:19.559 --> 00:19:23.259
And it just got to the point where I just had
00:19:23.259 --> 00:19:26.970
at least one friendship bracelet on. my wrist
00:19:26.970 --> 00:19:30.970
at all times like ever since 2009 like to this
00:19:30.970 --> 00:19:35.789
day i've only ever taken them off two times i
00:19:35.789 --> 00:19:40.029
think or three times like for surgeries so uh
00:19:40.029 --> 00:19:44.150
i have kept a lot of my old friendship bracelets
00:19:44.150 --> 00:19:47.769
that had since fallen off or that i don't wear
00:19:47.769 --> 00:19:51.069
anymore and so i was like i want to display these
00:19:51.069 --> 00:19:56.529
somehow so i finally got like a needle and thread
00:19:56.529 --> 00:20:00.410
and just like sewed into the tops of all the
00:20:00.410 --> 00:20:03.089
bracelets so now i have like a really weird looking
00:20:03.089 --> 00:20:09.450
bracelet thing i don't even know what to call
00:20:09.450 --> 00:20:13.029
it a string i guess so that took me all night
00:20:13.029 --> 00:20:16.670
and i think today i'll probably try to do my
00:20:16.670 --> 00:20:20.930
taskmaster one because i got a giant frame that
00:20:20.930 --> 00:20:24.640
i just want to put all of my taskmaster art and
00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:31.579
postcards into. So that will be exciting. But
00:20:31.579 --> 00:20:37.319
anyway, let's get back to our regularly scheduled
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:40.539
program. Yes, sorry about that. In which... It's
00:20:40.539 --> 00:20:43.119
ridiculously hot in my office and that's a weird
00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:48.180
trigger. Yeah. No, that's real. Yeah, so Alex
00:20:48.180 --> 00:20:52.700
had four parts of his joke as if he's never heard
00:20:52.700 --> 00:20:56.380
of comedy. Mm -hmm. Which, you know, that in
00:20:56.380 --> 00:21:02.579
and of itself was the joke. Yep. And Greg knew
00:21:02.579 --> 00:21:04.660
he was going to have another part. Yeah. He's
00:21:04.660 --> 00:21:07.500
like, yeah, I know. The rule of four. Alex was
00:21:07.500 --> 00:21:10.059
like giggling. He's like, rules of four? I'm
00:21:10.059 --> 00:21:12.779
like, shut the fuck up. And then I totally missed
00:21:12.779 --> 00:21:15.039
the double take until Amanda pointed it out to
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:20.559
me. I was ready for it because in that leaked...
00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:25.180
um outtakes video yeah i saw like doing that
00:21:25.180 --> 00:21:29.480
so when they said like double take i was ready
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:32.359
for it i was honed in and i saw it and i was
00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:37.319
like yes let's go yeah i totally and i like i
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:41.380
uh i like went i paused it and i went back when
00:21:41.380 --> 00:21:44.759
i re -watched it with my partner and he was like
00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:53.779
what What is this dynamic? I mean, so there's
00:21:53.779 --> 00:21:58.920
a photo that's been going around recently where
00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:01.539
Alex and Greg are just in their street clothes,
00:22:01.740 --> 00:22:05.759
sitting in the thrones. And my just immediate
00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:09.900
reaction to that is, who are these nerds? And
00:22:09.900 --> 00:22:12.099
they better move before the taskmaster finds
00:22:12.099 --> 00:22:14.640
them because he's going to be pissed. And then
00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:18.250
they do that. That was even worse. My mind is
00:22:18.250 --> 00:22:21.369
rejecting that more than it was rejecting that
00:22:21.369 --> 00:22:26.589
behind -the -scenes photo. Yep. But I think I
00:22:26.589 --> 00:22:28.349
was still reeling from whatever the hell the
00:22:28.349 --> 00:22:30.450
wedding vows were, and then they just throw that
00:22:30.450 --> 00:22:35.049
at you, and it may be a second on screen. Yeah.
00:22:36.970 --> 00:22:40.069
And then... Okay, I just found out that there
00:22:40.069 --> 00:22:43.630
is already a fic. with the wedding that was in
00:22:43.630 --> 00:22:46.529
it so go read that it's by one of our anonymous
00:22:46.529 --> 00:22:48.930
writers i already named dropped the fic earlier
00:22:48.930 --> 00:22:51.809
so go check that out but yeah the the body swap
00:22:51.809 --> 00:22:55.289
double take i was so excited for that and i can't
00:22:55.289 --> 00:22:58.069
wait to watch the out the like outtakes when
00:22:58.069 --> 00:23:02.569
they post them uh for real i know right because
00:23:02.569 --> 00:23:04.849
they were both like really uncomfortable well
00:23:04.849 --> 00:23:07.329
i think greg was more uncomfortable with it well
00:23:07.329 --> 00:23:11.089
i love like my favorite but i also like how they
00:23:12.350 --> 00:23:16.529
Like Greg brought his cards and his pen and Alex
00:23:16.529 --> 00:23:19.390
brought his iPad. So they're still clinging to
00:23:19.390 --> 00:23:22.650
the stuff that they always hold on to. Their
00:23:22.650 --> 00:23:26.049
little comfort blanket props. I was like, I wonder
00:23:26.049 --> 00:23:29.150
if Greg is going to hold the iPad. Can you imagine
00:23:29.150 --> 00:23:32.529
if Greg had held the iPad and Alex was holding
00:23:32.529 --> 00:23:35.410
the gold pen and the cards? I would have loved
00:23:35.410 --> 00:23:39.470
that. His iPad, to me, looks like an Air or whatever
00:23:39.470 --> 00:23:42.390
the current replacement for the Air is, which
00:23:42.390 --> 00:23:48.670
they're not big iPads. But what I loved about
00:23:48.670 --> 00:23:51.710
that, and we had some heads up from, I think,
00:23:51.730 --> 00:23:55.470
the New York thing, was that Greg was made aware
00:23:55.470 --> 00:23:59.849
all of a sudden that Alex has padding on his
00:23:59.849 --> 00:24:02.769
throne as if he's never looked at it. In the
00:24:02.769 --> 00:24:05.829
10, 11, I think it's been 11 series now that
00:24:05.829 --> 00:24:07.329
they've had these thrones because they popped
00:24:07.329 --> 00:24:12.450
up in like series 9, I think. And he just never
00:24:12.450 --> 00:24:17.430
even looked at Alex in that direction long enough
00:24:17.430 --> 00:24:20.009
to even click that, wait, he's got padding on
00:24:20.009 --> 00:24:25.789
his arms. What the hell? And I would love if
00:24:25.789 --> 00:24:27.750
they actually follow through with getting rid
00:24:27.750 --> 00:24:32.700
of it. Because Greg demanded. That's so sad.
00:24:32.980 --> 00:24:38.039
I love it. Anyway, on to the tasks. Prize tasks.
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:42.339
Well. Well. Yeah, prize tasks. The thing most
00:24:42.339 --> 00:24:45.059
likely to make you do a double take. That's the
00:24:45.059 --> 00:24:48.579
whole thing. And Matt comes up with boots in
00:24:48.579 --> 00:24:53.480
a bin. Well, Matt and Ed talked about this in
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:58.420
their podcast. Like, pretty extensively, so.
00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:01.680
I don't feel like we need to delve super deep
00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:03.900
in here, but Boots in the Bin was funny. It looked
00:25:03.900 --> 00:25:06.059
like a body. I didn't really have anything else
00:25:06.059 --> 00:25:10.940
to say. Like, it wasn't a strong entry. Fatty
00:25:10.940 --> 00:25:13.119
has one. I was like, I don't understand what
00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:15.900
is supposed to be making you do the double take.
00:25:16.420 --> 00:25:20.000
So, I do understand. That didn't make any sense
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:25.549
to me. Her analogy was unhinged. But I actually
00:25:25.549 --> 00:25:28.609
know exactly what she meant. Because, like, it's
00:25:28.609 --> 00:25:33.029
a whole genre of cat meme. It's called, like,
00:25:33.089 --> 00:25:35.269
airplane ears, where you do something unexpected,
00:25:35.589 --> 00:25:37.869
and your cat just looks at you like, what the
00:25:37.869 --> 00:25:43.809
fuck was that? Like, I think... Who knows? Jumping
00:25:43.809 --> 00:25:50.400
off the balcony. Huh? Oh, she's sleeping. He's
00:25:50.400 --> 00:25:52.500
got important things to be doing right now instead
00:25:52.500 --> 00:25:56.039
of guesting on the pod. Why did her mannequin
00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:59.960
look like Guz Khan? I was thinking that too.
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:04.039
I was like, what? Is that you? That's literally
00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:07.279
how my brain just basically sees Guz Khan. He
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:12.660
has a beard. I love him. But yeah, so she was
00:26:12.660 --> 00:26:14.640
saying the thing that makes her do a double take
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:17.250
is a good looking man and a beard. Because she
00:26:17.250 --> 00:26:20.670
has to look twice to, you know, is he a Muslim
00:26:20.670 --> 00:26:26.950
man? Oh, I see. Because she likes a man with
00:26:26.950 --> 00:26:30.210
a beard. She would prefer him to be Muslim. And
00:26:30.210 --> 00:26:32.990
then she said that they couldn't find a dude
00:26:32.990 --> 00:26:38.390
she liked. So funny. And then just insulted every
00:26:38.390 --> 00:26:42.910
single man up on the stage right there. All four
00:26:42.910 --> 00:26:47.759
of them. Yeah. So funny. um like greg especially
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:53.599
oh like after all these like after 10 episodes
00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:58.640
of you like begging to be my wife like now you're
00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:04.299
like oh i don't like it's like excuse me another
00:27:04.299 --> 00:27:09.799
thing that i think might kind of been working
00:27:09.799 --> 00:27:14.740
in his against him is that as he's gone more
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:18.440
into the white side of the gray spectrum, his
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:22.240
beard has actually vanished again. Mm -hmm. Like,
00:27:22.259 --> 00:27:26.920
I don't know how long he lets it grow, but I
00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:30.220
just shaved yesterday, and I've got more of a
00:27:30.220 --> 00:27:33.140
beard than Greg Davis looks like he has. Right.
00:27:33.500 --> 00:27:36.519
Yeah, that's true. And in the middle of this,
00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:39.299
I had to restart my TV because my media server
00:27:39.299 --> 00:27:43.740
was being a dickhead. Oh, no. I had to restart
00:27:43.740 --> 00:27:46.160
my TV like three times last night. It was weird.
00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:48.779
It just was refusing to talk to a jelly fan.
00:27:49.700 --> 00:27:52.759
That's annoying. But yeah, and then Jason just
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:56.380
calls her ass out over this being her best prize.
00:27:56.940 --> 00:27:59.940
Yeah, that was funny. I can see where she's coming
00:27:59.940 --> 00:28:03.279
from from her point of view. I don't think she
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:05.119
understood that these are meant to be presents
00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:10.140
for Greg. Presents for Greg. don't don't get
00:28:10.140 --> 00:28:12.480
don't let alex catch you saying that well the
00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:15.740
thing is julie and clary very clearly played
00:28:15.740 --> 00:28:18.619
to that angle he like every single thing that
00:28:18.619 --> 00:28:20.740
he brought in it seemed like he thought that
00:28:20.740 --> 00:28:23.500
it was meant to be a present for greg and his
00:28:23.500 --> 00:28:27.599
prize tasks with one or two exceptions were flawless
00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:32.799
yeah i mean to be fair they're meant to be presents
00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:37.880
for greg well like even if they're not Even if
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:40.039
they're specifically, like, you know, the best
00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:43.119
thing that whatever. Like, it doesn't... Because
00:28:43.119 --> 00:28:45.579
some of them are like, the best thing that Greg
00:28:45.579 --> 00:28:49.940
thinks is blah blah blah. But... Creamy Gouda.
00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:58.099
Gouda. The... The thing is, though, that, like...
00:28:58.319 --> 00:29:01.559
Whatever it is has to appeal to Greg, even if
00:29:01.559 --> 00:29:04.759
the task doesn't specify that it's for Greg or
00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:07.619
the thing that Greg thinks is blank. Yeah, which
00:29:07.619 --> 00:29:10.660
is why Greg is the one ultimately judging it.
00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:14.779
So you have to either, yeah, make it something
00:29:14.779 --> 00:29:17.579
that Greg would want or something that Greg is
00:29:17.579 --> 00:29:22.019
going to find funny or entertaining. Which I
00:29:22.019 --> 00:29:25.140
feel like Alex's beard is like his only exception,
00:29:25.380 --> 00:29:28.990
mainly because I feel like. he shares the um
00:29:28.990 --> 00:29:31.710
sentiment that a lot of people in the fandom
00:29:31.710 --> 00:29:34.009
do they just kind of want to grind it into the
00:29:34.009 --> 00:29:39.549
carpet yep not to victim blame but maybe if he
00:29:39.549 --> 00:29:45.690
didn't have such a grindable face i don't know
00:29:45.690 --> 00:29:47.750
what the equivalent is it's something in the
00:29:47.750 --> 00:29:50.230
ballpark of cute aggression where so many people
00:29:50.230 --> 00:29:53.549
just want to like kick him down the stairs yeah
00:29:55.220 --> 00:29:59.700
And then we have Jason. Most meals with dad 1992
00:29:59.700 --> 00:30:04.380
to 1993. That was so weird. He bought it at a
00:30:04.380 --> 00:30:07.859
yard sale 30 years ago. I mean, it is pretty
00:30:07.859 --> 00:30:11.180
funny. And that's so relatable. I have so much
00:30:11.180 --> 00:30:14.160
shit like that in my house. Yeah. That it's just
00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:17.799
like, I saw it. It made me laugh. It doesn't
00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:21.980
make anyone else laugh. I don't care. Yeah. If
00:30:21.980 --> 00:30:26.789
it brings you joy. Keep it. And then he wants
00:30:26.789 --> 00:30:30.769
to earn it. That was so cute. Like, that was
00:30:30.769 --> 00:30:34.029
also kind of one of those moments where you see
00:30:34.029 --> 00:30:37.230
that he was, like, struggling a little bit. Yeah.
00:30:37.769 --> 00:30:41.490
God, you could hear his voice. Yeah, I felt so
00:30:41.490 --> 00:30:45.430
bad for him. No. And then we get Stevie, who
00:30:45.430 --> 00:30:49.750
forgot her flawless execution. So funny. I had
00:30:49.750 --> 00:30:54.809
to rewatch it. I had to watch it twice. I just
00:30:54.809 --> 00:30:56.990
have the ultimate double take, I guess, because
00:30:56.990 --> 00:30:58.910
the first time you watch it, you're like, OK,
00:30:59.069 --> 00:31:01.529
you know, she's being kind of reserved with her
00:31:01.529 --> 00:31:04.549
laughter, you know, like Fatih has prize task
00:31:04.549 --> 00:31:07.650
and everything. It was like, OK, well, maybe
00:31:07.650 --> 00:31:10.130
she's just toning it down for Jason's sake again,
00:31:10.250 --> 00:31:13.369
you know, and then you realize that's not why
00:31:13.369 --> 00:31:16.950
she's doing it. So the second the second time
00:31:16.950 --> 00:31:19.289
you watch it and you really hone in on it, you're
00:31:19.289 --> 00:31:22.319
like, yeah. a different color but like if you're
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:25.420
not expecting it it's totally unnoticeable so
00:31:25.420 --> 00:31:28.660
it was really impressive and then and then we
00:31:28.660 --> 00:31:30.960
just go on to rosie with her life -size period
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:34.220
and my only note is what the fuck apparently
00:31:34.220 --> 00:31:38.099
that was from a show that a live show that she
00:31:38.099 --> 00:31:40.940
did with her husband for their podcast or something
00:31:40.940 --> 00:31:44.079
yeah i'm like that doesn't that does not give
00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:46.829
me any context Because, yeah, I don't watch and
00:31:46.829 --> 00:31:49.289
or listen to their podcast, so I have no idea.
00:31:49.670 --> 00:31:51.630
Yeah, I don't either. The only thing I could
00:31:51.630 --> 00:31:57.549
think of was, I think there's a play. I don't
00:31:57.549 --> 00:31:59.869
think it's a musical, but I think there's a play
00:31:59.869 --> 00:32:04.069
that's called, like, The Vagina Monologues or
00:32:04.069 --> 00:32:07.109
something. Oh, yeah, that's massive. Big deal.
00:32:07.430 --> 00:32:12.150
And it's exactly what it sounds like. Yeah. It's
00:32:12.150 --> 00:32:14.369
a very feminist play, basically, and I recommend
00:32:14.369 --> 00:32:17.410
you see it. yeah it's fantastic i mean i i haven't
00:32:17.410 --> 00:32:19.190
seen it but that's the only thing that came to
00:32:19.190 --> 00:32:22.829
my mind was like was it from that but i guess
00:32:22.829 --> 00:32:26.750
not i don't know it was weird it definitely wasn't
00:32:26.750 --> 00:32:29.190
something that would make somebody do a double
00:32:29.190 --> 00:32:31.730
take because that is that's something that's
00:32:31.730 --> 00:32:34.170
like you need something that's subtle to do a
00:32:34.170 --> 00:32:36.470
double take yeah it's not a double take if you
00:32:36.470 --> 00:32:39.690
can't look away right and if you were because
00:32:39.690 --> 00:32:41.769
i was thinking like if you were trying to bring
00:32:41.769 --> 00:32:45.819
in a tat or to bring in a prize that the Taskmaster
00:32:45.819 --> 00:32:49.019
fandom would do a double take at. Obviously,
00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:52.700
Greg and Alex switching thrones, that was perfect.
00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:56.220
But what I thought of was when we were all in
00:32:56.220 --> 00:32:59.680
New York City and we were trying to look for
00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:03.220
Greg and Alex, we were all specifically looking
00:33:03.220 --> 00:33:09.180
for Alex's coat. his winter coat because it was
00:33:09.180 --> 00:33:12.779
like blue with like a red orange and yellow stripe
00:33:12.779 --> 00:33:15.759
so it was pretty obvious he's got a new one since
00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:21.259
the old adidas one yeah um so like we were all
00:33:21.259 --> 00:33:24.079
looking for that and we did find somebody wearing
00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:27.660
it and we were like but it wasn't him and i i
00:33:27.660 --> 00:33:30.140
have since seen that same one like in an airport
00:33:30.140 --> 00:33:32.500
and stuff and i always am like doing a double
00:33:32.500 --> 00:33:35.799
take at it being like alex No, it's not Alex.
00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:40.279
It's really funny. So for the Taskmaster fandom,
00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:42.579
that's what I would have brought in is Alex's
00:33:42.579 --> 00:33:46.779
coat. I'm wearing a shirt that I bought online
00:33:46.779 --> 00:33:50.539
before ever clocking that he had this one as
00:33:50.539 --> 00:33:53.440
well. I think he's worn it on like, you can see
00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:56.319
the rocket and thing. Oh, yeah. But yeah, I think
00:33:56.319 --> 00:33:58.480
he's worn it on like Sunday brunch or something.
00:33:59.380 --> 00:34:01.500
Oh, actually, you know what I would have brought
00:34:01.500 --> 00:34:05.450
in? this like inside joke with our group chat
00:34:05.450 --> 00:34:08.449
is, you know, those like, you know, those t -shirt
00:34:08.449 --> 00:34:11.650
they're like big baggy white t -shirts and it
00:34:11.650 --> 00:34:13.909
says like Greg Davis and it has like a bunch
00:34:13.909 --> 00:34:17.190
of different cutouts of Greg. And so we were
00:34:17.190 --> 00:34:19.989
like, cause that exists. That's a real thing
00:34:19.989 --> 00:34:22.510
that exists. And I guess there's one for Alex,
00:34:22.550 --> 00:34:27.010
but there's like this inside joke where we want
00:34:27.010 --> 00:34:30.480
to make. One that says Alex Horne, but all of
00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:34.519
the pictures are of Andy Cartwright. Yes. I love
00:34:34.519 --> 00:34:36.659
how much they're playing into that as well lately.
00:34:36.900 --> 00:34:40.820
Yeah. Which we'll get to later. But it's fantastic.
00:34:41.300 --> 00:34:44.440
I feel like it started with Champion of Champions
00:34:44.440 --> 00:34:48.599
3. Yeah. Like, I don't wear shirts like that,
00:34:48.639 --> 00:34:51.300
but I want to own one of those shirts so bad
00:34:51.300 --> 00:34:54.780
because it's so funny. Yeah, I think I don't
00:34:54.780 --> 00:34:57.679
really wear t -shirts outside of home. But I
00:34:57.679 --> 00:34:59.579
think that is one that I would actually wear
00:34:59.579 --> 00:35:04.239
because it's hilarious. And, like, this is the
00:35:04.239 --> 00:35:07.280
first time, probably because I knew something
00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:09.920
was going to be up, that I clocked that it was
00:35:09.920 --> 00:35:13.880
Andy. Because usually, I don't get the joke until
00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:21.820
after the fact. So we have Alex going... One
00:35:21.820 --> 00:35:24.880
point to Fatihah. Which I love that Greg even
00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:26.920
said it would ruin their potential marriage.
00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:31.559
Yes. He's so sassy. Alex so sassy this series.
00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:35.239
He is. I love it. I love that we're seeing more
00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:39.280
of his actual personality and not whatever the
00:35:39.280 --> 00:35:43.519
fuck little Alex Horn is. I love little Alex
00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:48.389
Horn. Don't get me wrong. But... I love how he
00:35:48.389 --> 00:35:52.070
has been letting that not be the only thing he
00:35:52.070 --> 00:35:55.809
does. Yeah. And then we had Matt with two points,
00:35:55.849 --> 00:35:59.889
and everyone was cuddling Stevie's hand. That
00:35:59.889 --> 00:36:06.409
was so cute. And then Jason got three, Rosie
00:36:06.409 --> 00:36:11.909
got four, and Stevie, of course, got five. Which,
00:36:12.030 --> 00:36:15.670
I can't say I disagree with any of that. Yeah.
00:36:17.739 --> 00:36:20.400
And then we'll just roll on to task number two.
00:36:21.099 --> 00:36:24.000
Completely fill the yellow box with sand. Once
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:27.400
you have touched a box, you must hold that box
00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:32.820
for the rest of the task. And immediately...
00:36:32.820 --> 00:36:36.900
I don't think they really held each box. No.
00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:39.920
I mean, I know they tried to. Like, Stevie definitely
00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:42.519
tried, but she was, like, rolling some stuff
00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:46.280
on a chair at some point. And it's like, you
00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:49.650
need to hold... Again, I'm not blaming her for
00:36:49.650 --> 00:36:52.409
not... Because she was trying to, like, touch
00:36:52.409 --> 00:36:55.550
everything. And this task is just classic Alex
00:36:55.550 --> 00:36:58.670
Horn bullshit. Like, it's a simple task, very
00:36:58.670 --> 00:37:01.710
straightforward, that's just made needlessly
00:37:01.710 --> 00:37:04.730
irritating. It's not even complicated. It's just
00:37:04.730 --> 00:37:12.000
annoying. Also, I loved the... throwback to uh
00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:16.420
john kern's yes uh task with the shopping cart
00:37:16.420 --> 00:37:21.079
and the top hat i was like oh my gosh i love
00:37:21.079 --> 00:37:25.820
this so much and so i i was like pausing every
00:37:25.820 --> 00:37:27.960
now and again to write down my notes and my partner
00:37:27.960 --> 00:37:30.119
was sitting there and he's like because because
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:33.760
i started typing um shopping cart and top hat
00:37:33.760 --> 00:37:37.699
and he was like what's the significance of that
00:37:37.699 --> 00:37:40.239
and i was like well remember john kearns and
00:37:40.239 --> 00:37:45.079
he was like oh right i really liked that little
00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:49.340
nod but before the task even starts jason immediately
00:37:49.340 --> 00:37:52.440
notices the gopro which tells him that there
00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:56.119
is some tom fuckery going on with this table
00:37:56.119 --> 00:38:00.300
and his instinct when he was like hi yeah yeah
00:38:00.300 --> 00:38:04.650
that was amazing so what while Jason is refusing
00:38:04.650 --> 00:38:08.630
to say the line because he knows that Alex is
00:38:08.630 --> 00:38:12.469
going to be classic dickhead Alex. Stevie is
00:38:12.469 --> 00:38:15.429
just immediately cursing herself. She really
00:38:15.429 --> 00:38:19.230
is. She was asking for it. The thing about measuring
00:38:19.230 --> 00:38:23.050
her emotions and reactions while just immediately
00:38:23.050 --> 00:38:28.530
grab the box. I mean, it's a famous last words
00:38:28.530 --> 00:38:32.110
type of situation where. Like, you're dooming
00:38:32.110 --> 00:38:34.909
yourself by saying that already. Well, and then
00:38:34.909 --> 00:38:36.969
the funny thing is, Alex says in studio that
00:38:36.969 --> 00:38:39.110
it didn't count until after they said the line.
00:38:39.250 --> 00:38:41.949
So she was needlessly holding onto the box anyway.
00:38:43.130 --> 00:38:46.489
But to be fair, they didn't know that while reading
00:38:46.489 --> 00:38:49.769
the task. Rosie acted on that, but you can tell,
00:38:49.789 --> 00:38:54.710
yeah, she was like... In studio, she was very
00:38:54.710 --> 00:38:59.820
relieved when Alex said that. But yeah, I love
00:38:59.820 --> 00:39:03.539
Jason's refusing to say the line, because I think
00:39:03.539 --> 00:39:08.519
it's a rare moment, and I don't think he's really
00:39:08.519 --> 00:39:11.340
gone down this lane since Bridget Christie, where
00:39:11.340 --> 00:39:14.300
he stopped being Alex entirely, and just all
00:39:14.300 --> 00:39:18.059
of a sudden, the producer is there being kind
00:39:18.059 --> 00:39:21.420
of bitchy, because Jason goes, have you started
00:39:21.420 --> 00:39:27.039
the clock? Alex says, no. And Jason says, great.
00:39:27.280 --> 00:39:29.880
And then Alex, you can barely hear it under the
00:39:29.880 --> 00:39:33.840
audience. I'm tempted to. And that's what gets
00:39:33.840 --> 00:39:37.420
Jason's ass finally into gear. It's entirely
00:39:37.420 --> 00:39:40.639
because Alex became the producer for a few seconds.
00:39:40.840 --> 00:39:43.199
And I did wonder whether he would have just started.
00:39:43.519 --> 00:39:48.099
At what point does Alex actually start the clock?
00:39:48.300 --> 00:39:50.659
You know what I mean? Yeah, because he's even
00:39:50.659 --> 00:39:54.920
said that they're getting bored with that. And
00:39:54.920 --> 00:39:58.280
they want to encourage people to do that kind
00:39:58.280 --> 00:40:00.920
of thing less. You know, the rules are you read
00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:04.099
the task and then you do the task. Yeah. And
00:40:04.099 --> 00:40:06.679
he does get out of them a little bit when he
00:40:06.679 --> 00:40:09.980
phrases it like we have in this episode where
00:40:09.980 --> 00:40:12.219
your time started when you acknowledged Alex.
00:40:12.480 --> 00:40:16.539
Yeah. So we do. But, you know, it's a classic.
00:40:16.579 --> 00:40:19.000
Your time starts now. Like you can't cut that
00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:25.789
out completely. Yeah. And then. We have Fatia
00:40:25.789 --> 00:40:28.469
just immediately getting annoyed at Alex. She
00:40:28.469 --> 00:40:32.170
hates the dome. She thinks this task is stupid.
00:40:32.949 --> 00:40:37.110
And then Alex points out that she touched the
00:40:37.110 --> 00:40:39.570
orange box and she's like, well, yes, thanks
00:40:39.570 --> 00:40:45.570
for stating the obvious. But, like, the whole
00:40:45.570 --> 00:40:47.809
dome, the whole thing is a trap. There is nothing
00:40:47.809 --> 00:40:51.829
for you in the dome. Yep. And Jason's spotting
00:40:51.829 --> 00:40:57.619
that GoPro. he he that at least told him that
00:40:57.619 --> 00:40:59.880
things are not going to be what they seem so
00:40:59.880 --> 00:41:02.400
he just fucks up the table and look he's right
00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:05.159
yeah that there was nothing there under you know
00:41:05.159 --> 00:41:10.880
to do with the table just traps and sadness but
00:41:10.880 --> 00:41:14.820
then they yeah the the title of this uh debrief
00:41:14.820 --> 00:41:21.480
but then they both find the ball um that sends
00:41:21.480 --> 00:41:24.219
them on the wild goose chase because jason got
00:41:24.219 --> 00:41:27.820
too invested in working out what the trap on
00:41:27.820 --> 00:41:30.820
the table was i think yeah had he just accepted
00:41:30.820 --> 00:41:35.340
there's a trap i need to leave he would have
00:41:35.340 --> 00:41:40.219
got it i think immediately and then we have yeah
00:41:40.219 --> 00:41:44.800
i feel like i feel like what you need to do is
00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:48.789
take yourself out of the moment And just leave.
00:41:49.010 --> 00:41:51.510
Yeah. And just go and explore and look around
00:41:51.510 --> 00:41:56.090
the grounds. And what you don't need to do is
00:41:56.090 --> 00:41:59.570
try to kick the door in and then nearly fall
00:41:59.570 --> 00:42:03.070
down the stairs. Alex's face, I had to rewind
00:42:03.070 --> 00:42:06.349
and watch that again. Because Alex, like, you
00:42:06.349 --> 00:42:09.389
can see Alex, like, going out to catch her. And
00:42:09.389 --> 00:42:11.389
then he just, like, side -eyes the camera and
00:42:11.389 --> 00:42:15.639
he's just like... That's so funny! There's another
00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:18.159
bit like that that comes up later that I want
00:42:18.159 --> 00:42:21.579
to touch on. But Fatia trying to kick the door
00:42:21.579 --> 00:42:26.840
in reminded me of that New Year treat where Lady
00:42:26.840 --> 00:42:30.059
Leisure tried to ram raid the door and didn't
00:42:30.059 --> 00:42:32.380
realize that it was, like, properly closed and
00:42:32.380 --> 00:42:39.239
latched. It reminded me of... I think Guz...
00:42:39.239 --> 00:42:43.119
Was it Guz? That he was, like... Because it was,
00:42:43.159 --> 00:42:46.610
like... don't let Alex get the ball or whatever
00:42:46.610 --> 00:42:50.969
it was. And he like taped to the door and Alex
00:42:50.969 --> 00:42:54.090
is like, I'm going to break the door down. And
00:42:54.090 --> 00:42:57.630
he's like, okay. And he kicks the door in with
00:42:57.630 --> 00:43:01.769
no resistance at all. It's so funny. That's what
00:43:01.769 --> 00:43:04.570
that reminded me of. I've told this story before.
00:43:04.670 --> 00:43:08.610
So I watched this, I watched it backwards. I
00:43:08.610 --> 00:43:12.590
started with series 11 while 12 was airing. So
00:43:12.590 --> 00:43:16.530
I was, Like, watching 11, and then there'd be
00:43:16.530 --> 00:43:19.929
an episode of 12, and then I was watching 10,
00:43:20.070 --> 00:43:21.929
and then there was another episode, and it kind
00:43:21.929 --> 00:43:25.190
of went on like that. So I didn't really have
00:43:25.190 --> 00:43:30.889
the full context at that episode for why it was
00:43:30.889 --> 00:43:36.489
unusual that Guz was just pissing himself, basically,
00:43:36.489 --> 00:43:40.869
over Alex breaking in. Which... No, that's fucking
00:43:40.869 --> 00:43:44.670
weird. That is amazingly out of character. And
00:43:44.670 --> 00:43:47.789
I think Guz was right to be scared, because what
00:43:47.789 --> 00:43:51.789
the hell is he doing? So funny. But also, just
00:43:51.789 --> 00:43:57.530
poor Rosie in this, just having an absolute nightmare.
00:43:58.969 --> 00:44:02.590
She had the box on her head, which they both
00:44:02.590 --> 00:44:05.670
did. But only Rosie really got called out for
00:44:05.670 --> 00:44:07.869
it, because she picked the wrong box, whereas
00:44:07.869 --> 00:44:10.210
Fatia picked one that she could balance on her
00:44:10.210 --> 00:44:13.289
head. And then Rosie was just wearing it like
00:44:13.289 --> 00:44:19.949
a hat. Yeah. And luckily, neither of them saw
00:44:19.949 --> 00:44:25.949
the sandpaper box. Which... Classic. Classic
00:44:25.949 --> 00:44:33.590
Alex Horn bullshit. Yep. We got... Yeah, I would
00:44:33.590 --> 00:44:37.550
have been really mad about the sandpaper thing.
00:44:37.610 --> 00:44:42.090
I would have been furious. Instead, we get Fatia
00:44:42.090 --> 00:44:45.789
furious at the little sandcastle thing. And it's
00:44:45.789 --> 00:44:48.070
like, yeah, get him. He deserves to be called
00:44:48.070 --> 00:44:50.469
out. And I don't know if you saw that video that
00:44:50.469 --> 00:44:55.170
was posted earlier. Just a supercut of Fatia
00:44:55.170 --> 00:44:58.369
swearing it out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So funny.
00:44:59.090 --> 00:45:04.380
That was such a good... Yeah, I think she's going
00:45:04.380 --> 00:45:07.139
to go down in the same camp that Judy Love did.
00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:11.340
Just no patience for whatever he's doing. We're
00:45:11.340 --> 00:45:12.639
not playing these games. No patience for the
00:45:12.639 --> 00:45:18.360
bullshit. Yep. Absolutely. And then, yeah, back
00:45:18.360 --> 00:45:21.619
in the studio, I love it. I love the way Greg
00:45:21.619 --> 00:45:25.320
responds when a contestant explains why they
00:45:25.320 --> 00:45:29.519
suck. because she was talking about how she nearly
00:45:29.519 --> 00:45:32.199
fell over trying to kick in the door, and he
00:45:32.199 --> 00:45:35.159
goes, yeah, I saw. She's like, I don't have any
00:45:35.159 --> 00:45:40.679
balance, and he's like, yeah, I know. And then
00:45:40.679 --> 00:45:43.659
we had Matt, who just immediately noticed that
00:45:43.659 --> 00:45:46.059
there was a trap, just like Jason did, and then
00:45:46.059 --> 00:45:49.900
immediately falls for the trap. Like, he was
00:45:49.900 --> 00:45:53.400
looking around, and you could see the cogs swirling,
00:45:53.460 --> 00:45:57.019
and then... nah, I'm gonna do this anyway, where
00:45:57.019 --> 00:45:59.599
Jason just said, nope, this is a trap, I'm gonna
00:45:59.599 --> 00:46:04.340
fuck the table, and then get out of here. Yep.
00:46:04.480 --> 00:46:08.159
And that's when we find John Kern's sabotage
00:46:08.159 --> 00:46:12.960
props, which might be, to me, still one of the
00:46:12.960 --> 00:46:19.159
best tasks ever. Mm -hmm. Like... Yeah, I'll
00:46:19.159 --> 00:46:22.460
agree with that. If I'm showing someone to task,
00:46:22.599 --> 00:46:24.980
or showing someone that... the show for the first
00:46:24.980 --> 00:46:31.159
time and i don't know how likely they're they
00:46:31.159 --> 00:46:38.539
are to respond positively to the unhinged kinky
00:46:38.539 --> 00:46:42.199
side of the show it's john's sabotage task that
00:46:42.199 --> 00:46:48.719
i show them because it has everything and then
00:46:48.719 --> 00:46:52.920
i've got Yeah, we've got Jason talking to the
00:46:52.920 --> 00:46:59.059
GoPro, and then he just, surprisingly, aside
00:46:59.059 --> 00:47:01.099
from the table, which he still doesn't even wreck,
00:47:01.179 --> 00:47:05.159
he mostly just made a mess of this task. Yeah,
00:47:05.179 --> 00:47:08.420
I wonder, because I forget who was saying it,
00:47:08.480 --> 00:47:11.639
but I think somebody was saying somewhere that
00:47:11.639 --> 00:47:18.940
they started putting Jason... in the the last
00:47:18.940 --> 00:47:22.719
slot of doing pre -recorded tasks so that if
00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:25.159
he did wreck something it wouldn't affect the
00:47:25.159 --> 00:47:28.440
other contestants thing so i wonder if that was
00:47:28.440 --> 00:47:31.340
one of the earlier tasks that they shot where
00:47:31.340 --> 00:47:34.139
he wasn't the last person to use it yeah like
00:47:34.139 --> 00:47:38.840
i mean we you know there's nothing we can actually
00:47:38.840 --> 00:47:42.500
stop you but like If you do wreck this, just
00:47:42.500 --> 00:47:45.119
know that a member of production will have to
00:47:45.119 --> 00:47:49.900
like rebuild this entire thing. So like not wrecking
00:47:49.900 --> 00:47:53.199
it immediately. And this task does have that
00:47:53.199 --> 00:47:56.059
kind of early filming energy because they're
00:47:56.059 --> 00:48:01.619
going a lot of places on the property. And that
00:48:01.619 --> 00:48:03.960
always confuses people toward the beginning.
00:48:04.019 --> 00:48:06.980
Like Stevie, which I still can't believe this
00:48:06.980 --> 00:48:10.519
wasn't the first task was. Yeah. It was the first
00:48:10.519 --> 00:48:13.920
task we were shown, but it wasn't the first one
00:48:13.920 --> 00:48:19.099
she filmed, and that is insane to me. And then...
00:48:19.099 --> 00:48:22.400
I mean, also, as somebody that, like, has watched
00:48:22.400 --> 00:48:26.940
Taskmasters so much, it always baffles me to
00:48:26.940 --> 00:48:29.780
think that, like, people don't know where every
00:48:29.780 --> 00:48:32.840
single room at the house is. Which I love that
00:48:32.840 --> 00:48:36.139
Jason absolutely does. Like, you can tell he
00:48:36.139 --> 00:48:39.550
loves this show. And you can tell that Matt loves
00:48:39.550 --> 00:48:43.909
this show. But they're definitely loving it in
00:48:43.909 --> 00:48:46.929
different ways. Because Matt also, like, he fell
00:48:46.929 --> 00:48:51.489
for so many basic traps. Where Jason falls for
00:48:51.489 --> 00:48:55.590
a big one later. And he's even pissed off at
00:48:55.590 --> 00:48:58.210
himself because he sees it immediately in hindsight.
00:48:58.849 --> 00:49:02.730
Yeah. Which we'll get onto that later. But for
00:49:02.730 --> 00:49:05.090
now, I figured you'd want to talk about Matt's
00:49:05.090 --> 00:49:08.570
cute little jog. I do love Matt's cute little
00:49:08.570 --> 00:49:13.590
dog. Thank you. I love him so much. I'm obsessed
00:49:13.590 --> 00:49:17.849
with the man, okay? His stupid little stick legs.
00:49:18.289 --> 00:49:24.510
His getaway sticks, if you will. I mean, look
00:49:24.510 --> 00:49:27.190
at those knobbly little knees and his skinny
00:49:27.190 --> 00:49:29.949
little leggies. How can you not love this man?
00:49:30.070 --> 00:49:33.590
He's so fucking weird. I love him so much. He's
00:49:33.590 --> 00:49:37.610
great. I don't know. There's nothing else to
00:49:37.610 --> 00:49:42.230
say. And then we get an ad break and Alex is
00:49:42.230 --> 00:49:46.230
talking about Muesli. That was weird. I was like,
00:49:46.309 --> 00:49:49.510
what? Sponsored by Muesli? What? What's happening?
00:49:50.789 --> 00:49:53.769
Like, I don't mind Muesli. We can actually get
00:49:53.769 --> 00:49:57.210
some really good blends here. I don't even know
00:49:57.210 --> 00:49:59.510
what Muesli is, if I'm being honest. It's like
00:49:59.510 --> 00:50:03.150
a fortified porridge. Like, instead of just being
00:50:03.150 --> 00:50:06.849
oats, it's got, like, seeds and fruit and other
00:50:06.849 --> 00:50:09.090
things. Like, the one that we get, it's got...
00:50:09.090 --> 00:50:14.329
It's like quinoa? No. No, no. Because I was like,
00:50:14.389 --> 00:50:17.550
Alex would never eat quinoa. No. So, it starts
00:50:17.550 --> 00:50:21.369
off as oatmeal. And then it will have, like...
00:50:21.369 --> 00:50:24.889
We had a blend recently that had sunflower seeds,
00:50:25.369 --> 00:50:30.900
almonds, and something else. Cranberries and
00:50:30.900 --> 00:50:38.500
raisins. And just cereal. Yeah. Like, it's what
00:50:38.500 --> 00:50:41.699
people want to make oatmeal as because just the
00:50:41.699 --> 00:50:47.000
basic oatmeal, it ain't great. But no, like,
00:50:47.199 --> 00:50:50.800
if you can find it, it's nice. It's just basically
00:50:50.800 --> 00:50:55.900
nice, bougie oatmeal. Cool. And then we get on
00:50:55.900 --> 00:51:02.480
to Stevie. isolated yet again. And she's just
00:51:02.480 --> 00:51:04.880
immediately fucked. She curses herself right
00:51:04.880 --> 00:51:06.820
at the gate. At least she did it. At least she
00:51:06.820 --> 00:51:10.559
completed the task. She knocks the table over,
00:51:10.659 --> 00:51:14.599
just trying to do whatever she's doing. Falls
00:51:14.599 --> 00:51:21.119
for every single trap this task. And then we
00:51:21.119 --> 00:51:28.280
get Alex helping her with the chair. And... I
00:51:28.280 --> 00:51:31.800
love when he helps because he knows that if he
00:51:31.800 --> 00:51:34.480
doesn't, this task is not getting completed.
00:51:35.679 --> 00:51:41.559
Like, that's clearly what it was. Yeah. And then...
00:51:41.559 --> 00:51:46.420
I wrote down, I can't deal with that. I think
00:51:46.420 --> 00:51:48.559
that might have been for the sandpaper when she
00:51:48.559 --> 00:51:53.719
found it. I was so mad. I was furious. Well,
00:51:53.719 --> 00:51:57.829
because when... i think yeah i think i noticed
00:51:57.829 --> 00:52:00.909
it like earlier when she was in the shed and
00:52:00.909 --> 00:52:03.670
i'm like oh what's that red box and my husband
00:52:03.670 --> 00:52:05.710
said oh i think rosie opened it and that's where
00:52:05.710 --> 00:52:09.530
the ball was and i was like that doesn't seem
00:52:09.530 --> 00:52:12.809
right because yeah the ball was in the dome so
00:52:12.809 --> 00:52:16.309
when when the ball was in the dome when stevie
00:52:16.309 --> 00:52:22.349
finally spotted the red box just again grab didn't
00:52:22.349 --> 00:52:25.480
think maybe you know Test it by knocking something
00:52:25.480 --> 00:52:28.119
else into it, seeing if it's heavy. Or, like,
00:52:28.119 --> 00:52:30.699
take a stick and open the box and see what's
00:52:30.699 --> 00:52:32.940
in there, yeah. Like, it's in the shed. There
00:52:32.940 --> 00:52:35.619
are tools in the shed. Please use the tools in
00:52:35.619 --> 00:52:42.820
the shed. And just, okay, yeah, alright. And
00:52:42.820 --> 00:52:46.539
then just an amazing tantrum at the end. We don't
00:52:46.539 --> 00:52:51.099
have tantrums very much anymore. No. But that
00:52:51.099 --> 00:52:55.469
was such a deserved one. She was so over it.
00:52:55.489 --> 00:52:58.650
She's like, fuck this. Just throw all the toys
00:52:58.650 --> 00:53:04.269
out of the pram. Totally done. And we have Matt
00:53:04.269 --> 00:53:08.269
with five, Jason with four, Stevie with three,
00:53:08.309 --> 00:53:11.750
Fatio with two, and Rosie with one. And as Greg
00:53:11.750 --> 00:53:17.230
says, now we know who's better. That was amazing.
00:53:17.670 --> 00:53:21.110
Yes. And I felt so bad for Jason not being able
00:53:21.110 --> 00:53:25.119
to fight back. Because he wasn't feeling well.
00:53:25.300 --> 00:53:29.260
He's like, yeah, whatever. Although later he
00:53:29.260 --> 00:53:33.800
does nearly chase Alex off the stage. I loved
00:53:33.800 --> 00:53:38.119
that. Oh my gosh. Deserved. Alex's little fight
00:53:38.119 --> 00:53:42.619
or flight response is like, run away. Oh wait,
00:53:42.780 --> 00:53:45.159
Greg is here. Let me just hide behind Greg. He
00:53:45.159 --> 00:53:48.519
started running away and then he hit against
00:53:48.519 --> 00:53:52.780
Greg. We'll get to that later though. Because
00:53:52.780 --> 00:53:56.599
first, there's a new named prop. And he's called
00:53:56.599 --> 00:54:00.880
Rufus. Rufus! Let me see if I still have the
00:54:00.880 --> 00:54:07.599
tab open. He will be joining our podcast family
00:54:07.599 --> 00:54:11.440
soon. Yes, he will, because I already have him.
00:54:11.500 --> 00:54:18.719
I had to go elsewhere. Here it is. Found it.
00:54:19.780 --> 00:54:26.179
So, Tesco. would not let me create... Oh, shit,
00:54:26.260 --> 00:54:30.820
I lost you again. Let me see, did that fix it?
00:54:32.940 --> 00:54:36.179
There we go, I fixed it. Okay. So Tesco would
00:54:36.179 --> 00:54:38.539
not let me create an account. So if you're in
00:54:38.539 --> 00:54:43.639
the UK, you can get him here. And Amanda found
00:54:43.639 --> 00:54:45.960
this one. Between the two of us, I think we found
00:54:45.960 --> 00:54:49.659
about four of them. That could have been it,
00:54:49.679 --> 00:54:51.639
so it wasn't until I was able to get the download
00:54:51.639 --> 00:54:56.320
and compare screenshots that I confirmed it's
00:54:56.320 --> 00:55:00.199
this one. If you're in the UK, he's $17. I had
00:55:00.199 --> 00:55:03.900
to get him on eBay for $40. So aside from the
00:55:03.900 --> 00:55:06.559
elephant, he's still the cheapest one so far.
00:55:08.280 --> 00:55:10.980
That's pretty impressive. He looks very soft.
00:55:11.260 --> 00:55:16.000
He does. So Rufus is going to be part of our
00:55:16.000 --> 00:55:18.739
gang. According to the Royal Mail, he's arriving
00:55:18.739 --> 00:55:21.340
tomorrow. I've got beef on site with the Royal
00:55:21.340 --> 00:55:27.300
Mail, so I don't believe them. Right. And then
00:55:27.300 --> 00:55:31.260
when Matt named him... First, when Matt named
00:55:31.260 --> 00:55:33.619
him Rufus, that was like tickling something in
00:55:33.619 --> 00:55:36.300
the back of my head. And I'm like, Rufus the
00:55:36.300 --> 00:55:40.340
Hound, why does that sound familiar? And then...
00:55:41.120 --> 00:55:46.739
YouTube served me a video of a comic relief episode
00:55:46.739 --> 00:55:50.500
of Only Connect. And then I realized it's not
00:55:50.500 --> 00:55:53.840
Rufus the Hound. It's Rufus Hound, a comedian.
00:55:55.280 --> 00:55:59.139
So I don't know if that was, you know, something
00:55:59.139 --> 00:56:02.679
invading the back of Matt's brain or just a really
00:56:02.679 --> 00:56:06.360
cute coincidence. Right now we have Rufus the
00:56:06.360 --> 00:56:09.420
Cocker Spaniel Dog, not a plushie. It's so cute.
00:56:09.719 --> 00:56:13.440
It's specifically Cocker Spaniel Dog plush toy,
00:56:13.719 --> 00:56:17.139
brackets brown. And there's a puppy variation
00:56:17.139 --> 00:56:20.820
that is specifically a puppy and it's lighter
00:56:20.820 --> 00:56:24.019
colors and smaller. Interesting. So that's not
00:56:24.019 --> 00:56:27.420
the puppy. Yeah, this is the dog, which I thought
00:56:27.420 --> 00:56:30.800
was very funny. That's funny. And then we get,
00:56:30.920 --> 00:56:36.409
yeah, so let's actually read out the task. Yeah,
00:56:38.090 --> 00:56:40.929
okay, so here we go. Part one, freeze on your
00:56:40.929 --> 00:56:44.190
spot in the most powerful pose in five minutes
00:56:44.190 --> 00:56:48.150
from now. You must be touching two of the objects.
00:56:49.530 --> 00:56:56.769
And yeah, like Jason said, this just stinks of
00:56:56.769 --> 00:56:59.590
there's a second part of the task because there's
00:56:59.590 --> 00:57:03.880
no win condition. There's no win condition. You
00:57:03.880 --> 00:57:05.639
gotta look for the wind conditions, my guys.
00:57:06.400 --> 00:57:09.639
But we have Fatia annoyed at being made to walk
00:57:09.639 --> 00:57:13.340
across gravel. So funny. Alex says that the temple
00:57:13.340 --> 00:57:18.000
is inflatable. And Rosie being like, it's not.
00:57:18.460 --> 00:57:21.039
Yeah, like she had to really think about it.
00:57:23.239 --> 00:57:30.099
I mean, I think that this series has the most
00:57:30.099 --> 00:57:35.579
beautiful location. tasks we have ever seen so
00:57:35.579 --> 00:57:43.059
far. And I will stick by that. So it's at something
00:57:43.059 --> 00:57:46.920
called Painzil. I don't exactly know what that
00:57:46.920 --> 00:57:53.900
is, but it's in Surrey. So you can go there.
00:57:53.940 --> 00:57:56.960
You can probably find it fairly easily. There's
00:57:56.960 --> 00:58:00.420
coordinates and a website on the Taskmaster fandom
00:58:00.420 --> 00:58:05.010
wiki. Sweet. I mean, gorgeous location. Yes.
00:58:05.090 --> 00:58:09.969
I was struck by Matt's stuff blowing all over
00:58:09.969 --> 00:58:14.230
the place. Matt is consistently getting all the
00:58:14.230 --> 00:58:17.769
windy days for tasks. And then we get Alex's
00:58:17.769 --> 00:58:22.869
little skull. Oh, his little scurry. But also,
00:58:22.909 --> 00:58:27.190
can we talk about this task, I think, is one
00:58:27.190 --> 00:58:32.289
of the best. edited tasks i want to know entirety
00:58:32.289 --> 00:58:36.969
of task what what adobe after fat or after effects
00:58:36.969 --> 00:58:40.269
witchcraft is that i don't want to learn it because
00:58:40.269 --> 00:58:43.989
fuck after effects but that was such a good way
00:58:43.989 --> 00:58:48.210
of showing it i mean it was brilliant it was
00:58:48.210 --> 00:58:54.179
so cool that they put them in order through five
00:58:54.179 --> 00:58:57.219
yeah i love when they do that that was amazing
00:58:57.219 --> 00:59:02.199
and then having and then can crop them all together
00:59:02.199 --> 00:59:07.260
in the same shot and just just the whole editing
00:59:07.260 --> 00:59:11.739
of this entire task was gorgeous and i really
00:59:11.739 --> 00:59:14.639
really want to shout out it was team for this
00:59:14.639 --> 00:59:17.519
specific i mean for the whole show you know we
00:59:17.519 --> 00:59:21.300
are a huge fan of yours but for the killer i
00:59:21.300 --> 00:59:26.500
was blown away like nick muhammad level editing
00:59:26.500 --> 00:59:30.500
out his reflection levels of blown like i was
00:59:30.500 --> 00:59:34.519
so impressed the editing for the task just just
00:59:34.519 --> 00:59:39.820
yeah i i love these ones where they like edit
00:59:39.820 --> 00:59:43.480
everyone together a favorite one of mine is the
00:59:43.480 --> 00:59:45.719
one where they had to be the third person to
00:59:45.719 --> 00:59:48.019
high five yeah the high five i was just thinking
00:59:48.019 --> 00:59:53.170
that was that was so clever and so clever Unfortunately,
00:59:53.190 --> 00:59:56.289
like, it's one of those tasks that I think, on
00:59:56.289 --> 01:00:00.730
its own, was not a strong task. It was only because
01:00:00.730 --> 01:00:03.670
the team of three, two of the three of them,
01:00:03.730 --> 01:00:07.250
absolutely failed to comprehend the task. And
01:00:07.250 --> 01:00:09.829
that's what made it good. And then Ardell just,
01:00:10.030 --> 01:00:12.889
he understood the task, and then he made his
01:00:12.889 --> 01:00:18.440
own rules for it. Yeah, he sure did. So we have
01:00:18.440 --> 01:00:24.920
Fatia. Regal people have dogs all the time. So
01:00:24.920 --> 01:00:28.059
funny. I think I understand what she means, but
01:00:28.059 --> 01:00:29.840
that was, you know. Like, I kind of get it, yeah.
01:00:30.179 --> 01:00:33.340
And then we have Matt. Power over life or death.
01:00:34.380 --> 01:00:37.460
Like, I kind of got where he was coming from.
01:00:37.739 --> 01:00:41.159
Like, this poor dog does not have a very wholesome
01:00:41.159 --> 01:00:44.679
intro. Because if you think about it, like, what
01:00:44.679 --> 01:00:47.730
do you think is more powerful? potentially killing
01:00:47.730 --> 01:00:52.869
a puppy or maybe like a lion or like a hippo
01:00:52.869 --> 01:00:56.110
or something like something that's not like a
01:00:56.110 --> 01:00:58.510
tiny harmless little furball you know what i
01:00:58.510 --> 01:01:02.230
mean like i do get where he was but maybe i think
01:01:02.230 --> 01:01:06.150
a more powerful image would him attacking like
01:01:06.150 --> 01:01:11.809
something bigger yeah or something i don't know
01:01:11.809 --> 01:01:14.809
well it's funny because this is not the first
01:01:14.809 --> 01:01:18.960
time people have come up with the power of life
01:01:18.960 --> 01:01:21.679
or death. Like, there's two times people wanted
01:01:21.679 --> 01:01:25.920
Dying Frog, which is odd. Like, the fact that
01:01:25.920 --> 01:01:29.760
has specifically been requested twice. Sean Harris
01:01:29.760 --> 01:01:35.019
then went for, like, resurrecting a dead guinea
01:01:35.019 --> 01:01:37.980
pig with her pinky, because it was do something
01:01:37.980 --> 01:01:41.510
powerful with your pinky. So in her mind, that
01:01:41.510 --> 01:01:45.110
life or death means, you know, create life. And
01:01:45.110 --> 01:01:49.070
Lou Sanders also, I don't know if this was the
01:01:49.070 --> 01:01:52.969
same task. I can't remember. She wanted to get
01:01:52.969 --> 01:01:58.329
pregnant for one of them and create life. And
01:01:58.329 --> 01:02:01.590
it's like, now we have Matt going, I'm going
01:02:01.590 --> 01:02:08.619
to murder a puppy. Yeah, I mean. I, so, like,
01:02:08.679 --> 01:02:11.820
at my job, I have to perform Humane Euthanasia
01:02:11.820 --> 01:02:15.780
on animals, and I wouldn't say that it gives
01:02:15.780 --> 01:02:19.900
me a sense of humor. That's not the word I would
01:02:19.900 --> 01:02:24.880
use, to be honest. Yeah, I mean... So, like,
01:02:24.980 --> 01:02:27.400
again, I kind of get where he's coming from.
01:02:28.579 --> 01:02:33.579
Like, I grew up... in a family that did a lot
01:02:33.579 --> 01:02:36.440
of hunting and fishing so I have killed my own
01:02:36.440 --> 01:02:40.460
food and yeah I agree it doesn't feel powerful
01:02:40.460 --> 01:02:44.400
like even having to bash the fish in so it doesn't
01:02:44.400 --> 01:02:47.559
suffocate and you know suffer like that doesn't
01:02:47.559 --> 01:02:54.079
feel powerful yeah it's more just kind of no
01:02:54.079 --> 01:02:59.219
like it for me at least it's like a weird sense
01:02:59.219 --> 01:03:04.510
of pride in knowing that I am doing a job of
01:03:04.510 --> 01:03:08.429
like the service that is really hard to do. Like
01:03:08.429 --> 01:03:10.510
for people that it's going to be really hard
01:03:10.510 --> 01:03:14.190
for them to be service. So it's more of just
01:03:14.190 --> 01:03:18.489
like, I like being that where I know that I can
01:03:18.489 --> 01:03:22.469
deliver kind of customer service type of thing
01:03:22.469 --> 01:03:27.389
in a really, really. I guess that is really powerful.
01:03:27.510 --> 01:03:30.269
If you think about. But it's also very dark.
01:03:32.889 --> 01:03:36.190
Let's see that. Okay, we're cutting out again,
01:03:36.250 --> 01:03:39.849
but it wasn't too bad. But yeah, like when you
01:03:39.849 --> 01:03:47.030
are... Like if you're hunting. The whole idea
01:03:47.030 --> 01:03:50.510
is you want to have a clean, dignified death.
01:03:50.730 --> 01:03:53.190
You don't want it to suffer. And there is the
01:03:53.190 --> 01:03:55.510
whole thing where suffering does spoil the meat.
01:03:55.730 --> 01:03:59.760
But also... why is that real yes is that true
01:03:59.760 --> 01:04:04.960
yes it that that is true but also just why would
01:04:04.960 --> 01:04:08.320
you want it to suffer in the first place right
01:04:08.320 --> 01:04:13.400
like yeah it's not powerful to kill a puppy it
01:04:13.400 --> 01:04:16.579
like it's humane in certain circumstances yes
01:04:16.579 --> 01:04:22.590
but that's not the same thing no no And then
01:04:22.590 --> 01:04:25.289
we have Jason just going off in his own direction.
01:04:25.289 --> 01:04:28.309
I want to stand up on these two things. And Alex
01:04:28.309 --> 01:04:32.010
is, do you now? Yeah, I mean, he was like, I
01:04:32.010 --> 01:04:34.829
mean, we're not surprised at this point that
01:04:34.829 --> 01:04:37.710
Jason wants to stand on the pillars. We're not
01:04:37.710 --> 01:04:40.829
surprised that Jason wants to hold this particular
01:04:40.829 --> 01:04:44.389
pose over Alex. But it does mean that we get
01:04:44.389 --> 01:04:50.409
the delicious Alex kneeling for 10 minutes. had
01:04:50.409 --> 01:04:55.449
he been doing this this task he he might have
01:04:55.449 --> 01:04:58.369
won it like he moved slightly more than rosie
01:04:58.369 --> 01:05:01.550
did but as greg rightly points out she's leaning
01:05:01.550 --> 01:05:05.309
against the thing but also alex i think alex
01:05:05.309 --> 01:05:07.909
was only moving because he had to keep telling
01:05:07.909 --> 01:05:12.269
jason yeah time time updates because really the
01:05:12.269 --> 01:05:15.809
only thing that moved alex head but again that
01:05:15.809 --> 01:05:18.570
was just because he was he had to talk to jason
01:05:19.179 --> 01:05:23.880
the timekeeping stuff. So anyway, go on AO3 and
01:05:23.880 --> 01:05:28.599
check out P. Willie's newest fic, which is called
01:05:28.599 --> 01:05:34.000
I Need You, but it's K -N -E -E hyphen D. It's
01:05:34.000 --> 01:05:37.860
really good. But yeah, I mean, this is just another
01:05:37.860 --> 01:05:44.460
task that is and we have talked about this before,
01:05:44.619 --> 01:05:50.780
and I always forget what it's called. Situational
01:05:50.780 --> 01:05:53.960
bondage? Predicament bondage. Predicament bondage,
01:05:54.000 --> 01:05:56.840
thank you. I always forget what it's called.
01:05:57.400 --> 01:06:02.500
But yeah, I mean, that's what it is. It's predicament
01:06:02.500 --> 01:06:07.440
bondage. Yeah, it literally is. And then Stevie's
01:06:07.440 --> 01:06:13.599
just, ow. Yeah, I mean, I thought that, honestly,
01:06:13.900 --> 01:06:17.500
Matt... matt's looked more uncomfortable than
01:06:17.500 --> 01:06:19.860
stevie's because at least stevie was kind of
01:06:19.860 --> 01:06:23.119
sitting down yeah but matt like he had his bare
01:06:23.119 --> 01:06:27.500
knee digging into the ground holding him up plus
01:06:27.500 --> 01:06:31.440
the spine twist he said was the worst part yeah
01:06:31.440 --> 01:06:35.079
and holding i'm like oh dude the knee i think
01:06:35.079 --> 01:06:37.039
is what would take me i think the knee would
01:06:37.039 --> 01:06:40.920
take me out and then yeah i mean at like in ed's
01:06:40.920 --> 01:06:43.840
podcast ed even said like i can't even sit in
01:06:43.840 --> 01:06:46.139
one position for one minute and i'm like yeah
01:06:46.139 --> 01:06:50.460
dude like i think ed's only a couple years older
01:06:50.460 --> 01:06:54.840
than me and i'm like i cannot like i used to
01:06:54.840 --> 01:06:58.139
sit cross -legged all the time i had to sit cross
01:06:58.139 --> 01:07:02.480
-legged constantly i can't do it i can't do it
01:07:02.480 --> 01:07:04.840
anymore for for longer than like five minutes
01:07:04.840 --> 01:07:08.619
it's awful could you real quick do me a favor
01:07:08.619 --> 01:07:13.739
go into your on discord your voice and video
01:07:13.739 --> 01:07:20.440
settings yeah and either change your input sensitivity
01:07:20.440 --> 01:07:26.500
or two more or less um because you have me turn
01:07:26.500 --> 01:07:30.019
it down before try turning it up because i've
01:07:30.019 --> 01:07:32.320
done everything i can on my end and you still
01:07:32.320 --> 01:07:35.960
keep dropping out okay is this better well we'll
01:07:35.960 --> 01:07:38.539
see because it tends to happen when you're peaking
01:07:40.909 --> 01:07:43.730
it drops me when i'm peeking so wouldn't it make
01:07:43.730 --> 01:07:46.809
more sense for me to turn it down maybe yeah
01:07:46.809 --> 01:07:50.250
maybe but at the same time like i don't want
01:07:50.250 --> 01:07:52.090
you to turn it too too much down that you're
01:07:52.090 --> 01:07:59.050
not getting picked up at all i'm just kidding
01:08:07.849 --> 01:08:13.570
visual gags for the podcast sorry anybody that's
01:08:13.570 --> 01:08:20.470
not watching this on youtube oh boy anyway and
01:08:20.470 --> 01:08:25.270
then we have um when alex brings out the second
01:08:25.270 --> 01:08:28.050
task like jason already wants to batter him to
01:08:28.050 --> 01:08:30.409
begin with jason's fed up with this guy and then
01:08:30.409 --> 01:08:33.350
alex goes I'm just going to read the second part
01:08:33.350 --> 01:08:37.010
of the task and Jason, son of a bitch. This is
01:08:37.010 --> 01:08:42.090
a disaster. Yeah. Yeah. And then he says like,
01:08:42.189 --> 01:08:45.550
I should have known that there was going to be
01:08:45.550 --> 01:08:48.890
part two. I should, I should have fucking known
01:08:48.890 --> 01:08:52.210
better, which I mean, we've been harping on this
01:08:52.210 --> 01:08:58.489
all series. Yes, you should have known. And then,
01:08:58.510 --> 01:09:02.760
yeah, Greg's. Again, Greg was so offended about
01:09:02.760 --> 01:09:06.500
the puppy. Yeah. I mean, it's a puppy. Yeah.
01:09:07.399 --> 01:09:11.300
I mean, what? Just puppy murder. Why? Like, he
01:09:11.300 --> 01:09:14.439
was surprisingly offended at the needless cat
01:09:14.439 --> 01:09:17.500
murder. And he's been on record about how much
01:09:17.500 --> 01:09:21.220
he doesn't like cats. And now there's a puppy
01:09:21.220 --> 01:09:25.600
murder? What the hell is going on? Yeah. And
01:09:25.600 --> 01:09:28.359
then we had Rosie's with her people in the 80s.
01:09:28.750 --> 01:09:32.909
And, like, I know what she was going for, but
01:09:32.909 --> 01:09:36.250
that was such a weird way to describe what she
01:09:36.250 --> 01:09:40.970
was going for. Yeah. Because, like, I've absolutely
01:09:40.970 --> 01:09:46.470
seen those people at the roller rinks. I mean,
01:09:46.489 --> 01:09:48.789
I don't think I've ever gone to a roller rink.
01:09:49.789 --> 01:09:55.670
The age gap is killing me. More like I was just
01:09:55.670 --> 01:09:58.649
really, really antisocial, so don't know. skate
01:09:58.649 --> 01:10:01.750
and didn't have anyone to go with i'm sorry i
01:10:01.750 --> 01:10:04.109
gotta pull you up you were asocial unless you
01:10:04.109 --> 01:10:09.569
were engaging in criminal behavior okay sure
01:10:09.569 --> 01:10:14.449
it's one of those things whatever you say well
01:10:14.449 --> 01:10:17.930
anti -social has become one of those things where
01:10:17.930 --> 01:10:20.989
like people just you know say it without knowing
01:10:20.989 --> 01:10:25.350
what it's a very different thing and i was just
01:10:25.350 --> 01:10:28.630
so oh oh Exciting news. I finished off Menu.
01:10:29.390 --> 01:10:34.189
Oh, yay. All 300 episodes. So then I was like,
01:10:34.289 --> 01:10:37.689
I'll start listening to John Robbins' podcast
01:10:37.689 --> 01:10:43.189
called How Do You Cope? So I started doing that.
01:10:43.569 --> 01:10:48.510
And he was talking, it was like the second episode
01:10:48.510 --> 01:10:51.670
or something. Somebody was like, yeah, the initials,
01:10:51.670 --> 01:10:53.210
blah, blah, blah. And he's like, those aren't
01:10:53.210 --> 01:10:58.819
acronyms. it's an initial and they were like
01:10:58.819 --> 01:11:00.899
it's an acronym and he's like no here's the difference
01:11:00.899 --> 01:11:07.560
and i was i love him yep that that's another
01:11:07.560 --> 01:11:09.600
one of the ones i i don't tend to call people
01:11:09.600 --> 01:11:11.760
up on that one because whatever common usage
01:11:11.760 --> 01:11:16.239
but the the anti and the asocial very different
01:11:16.239 --> 01:11:19.420
things and one of them needs to be removed from
01:11:19.420 --> 01:11:22.579
the common lexicon so that it can so that it
01:11:22.579 --> 01:11:25.470
can be used property uh properly But anyway,
01:11:25.630 --> 01:11:28.770
the second part of this task, stay completely
01:11:28.770 --> 01:11:33.310
still in your powerful pose for the next 10 minutes.
01:11:34.729 --> 01:11:39.170
Which is a disaster. And yeah, Jason, the exact
01:11:39.170 --> 01:11:42.590
quote. This has got all the hallmarks of there's
01:11:42.590 --> 01:11:46.289
a second task. Yes, it did. Why weren't you paying
01:11:46.289 --> 01:11:51.970
attention? And then we have Matt dying and Fatia
01:11:51.970 --> 01:11:56.199
changing the rules. Just she's not doing this
01:11:56.199 --> 01:11:59.380
task. I don't know what task she's doing. She
01:11:59.380 --> 01:12:01.960
just kept changing positions, chatting with Alex.
01:12:02.239 --> 01:12:07.720
Oh, this is a cute pose, isn't it? And then my
01:12:07.720 --> 01:12:12.060
favorite one is my back hurts, Jason. All right,
01:12:12.140 --> 01:12:17.260
good. He loved that. He was like, yeah, serves
01:12:17.260 --> 01:12:22.199
you fucking right. but yeah like fatty was just
01:12:22.199 --> 01:12:24.479
bored to death while everyone else was losing
01:12:24.479 --> 01:12:28.300
their minds especially jason like you you could
01:12:28.300 --> 01:12:32.079
see him going insane and i i'm pretty sure this
01:12:32.079 --> 01:12:37.960
is actually torture like not to get political
01:12:37.960 --> 01:12:43.600
on the stupid blurbo podcast but there's an active
01:12:43.600 --> 01:12:45.659
court case about this in this country right now
01:12:45.659 --> 01:12:49.250
about literally this It's literally torture.
01:12:49.789 --> 01:12:53.489
So, thanks for that. But again, they didn't have
01:12:53.489 --> 01:12:57.470
to do it. No. Nobody was forcing them to do it.
01:12:57.550 --> 01:13:01.590
As evidenced by Fatia, who just decided not to.
01:13:02.630 --> 01:13:10.069
Yep. But also, so I mentioned this earlier, about,
01:13:10.270 --> 01:13:13.189
I can't remember what brought it up, something
01:13:13.189 --> 01:13:18.229
ages ago, but afterward, Alex's little run to
01:13:18.229 --> 01:13:21.090
help Stevie because he has learned his lesson
01:13:21.090 --> 01:13:26.590
since Sophie nearly drowned. Which, that is one
01:13:26.590 --> 01:13:30.189
of the best things that's ever happened. Sophie
01:13:30.189 --> 01:13:34.789
just, yeah, drowning in a stream and Alex just
01:13:34.789 --> 01:13:37.829
standing there watching her. That was so fun.
01:13:38.850 --> 01:13:45.520
Yeah, like, he's definitely... a freeze on that
01:13:45.520 --> 01:13:49.420
fight flight response if something goes wrong
01:13:49.420 --> 01:13:52.840
and we saw this last week he just blue screen
01:13:52.840 --> 01:13:55.520
of death i can't handle this someone else please
01:13:55.520 --> 01:14:00.399
do it for me so it was nice to see him recognize
01:14:00.399 --> 01:14:03.920
that you know oh i i shouldn't just stand here
01:14:03.920 --> 01:14:06.859
idly watching while you know this person screams
01:14:06.859 --> 01:14:11.340
trying to get down off this pillar yep yeah that
01:14:11.340 --> 01:14:18.369
looks really painful And then I love, apparently,
01:14:18.710 --> 01:14:23.210
Patia called Cliff Richard a prick. Who is that?
01:14:23.729 --> 01:14:29.390
He is a singer. He's about 200 years old, but
01:14:29.390 --> 01:14:31.329
he looks like he's been replaced with plastic.
01:14:33.149 --> 01:14:38.170
I don't know how else to describe this guy. He's
01:14:38.170 --> 01:14:41.069
older than dirt, and he looks like a Ken doll.
01:14:41.689 --> 01:14:49.300
Oh my gosh. And then, yeah, just Alex barely
01:14:49.300 --> 01:14:54.979
moved. Which is, one, hilarious, and two, really
01:14:54.979 --> 01:15:02.220
not surprising. And then we have Greg and Alex
01:15:02.220 --> 01:15:07.600
having a little cuddle. And Alex struggling to
01:15:07.600 --> 01:15:11.180
keep himself together. I'm afraid there's just
01:15:11.180 --> 01:15:14.350
two parts of the final to go. Five mighty competitors.
01:15:14.550 --> 01:15:17.369
But thankfully, when it does end, we still have
01:15:17.369 --> 01:15:22.449
each other. My sweet, sweet friend. And that
01:15:22.449 --> 01:15:24.770
was something that we have been on the lookout
01:15:24.770 --> 01:15:28.170
for a long time. Because it was teased in, like,
01:15:28.210 --> 01:15:31.869
the Channel 4, like... moving pictures thing
01:15:31.869 --> 01:15:34.250
yeah where like all the boxes came together and
01:15:34.250 --> 01:15:37.130
we were like huh what how why is alex sitting
01:15:37.130 --> 01:15:40.569
what's happening yeah what is going on and we
01:15:40.569 --> 01:15:42.909
like didn't find out until this episode and we're
01:15:42.909 --> 01:15:49.289
oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh so happy and
01:15:49.289 --> 01:15:54.130
yeah like i i loved it because what we had thought
01:15:54.130 --> 01:15:58.939
when that bump first aired was that it was going
01:15:58.939 --> 01:16:04.619
to be in direct response to someone, like, making
01:16:04.619 --> 01:16:07.340
Alex sad. Because he does look like he's been
01:16:07.340 --> 01:16:10.979
threatened, or someone said something horrible
01:16:10.979 --> 01:16:14.600
and he needs to be reassured. And it turns out
01:16:14.600 --> 01:16:19.439
that look on his face is because he is... He's
01:16:19.439 --> 01:16:23.039
basically just corpsing, and not hiding it very
01:16:23.039 --> 01:16:30.329
well. And it's also a rare, like, Greg at Alex
01:16:30.329 --> 01:16:33.130
come here moment. Yeah. Because usually it's,
01:16:33.130 --> 01:16:36.390
you know, the other way around. The needy assistant
01:16:36.390 --> 01:16:40.069
being like, please pay attention to me. Which
01:16:40.069 --> 01:16:42.510
is funny because that's literally what last week's
01:16:42.510 --> 01:16:47.670
episode was about. Yeah. So, yeah, that was cute.
01:16:47.930 --> 01:16:53.680
Greg has defeated Fatio with gravel. I'll just
01:16:53.680 --> 01:16:56.279
go up somebody's driveway. Get away from you,
01:16:56.319 --> 01:17:00.939
you crazy woman. So funny. So Fatia got one point.
01:17:01.079 --> 01:17:05.600
Matt got two. Jason got three. And Alex asks,
01:17:05.920 --> 01:17:12.420
are you happy with that, Jason? Fuck no. And
01:17:12.420 --> 01:17:18.880
then Rosie gets four and Stevie gets five. Fantastic
01:17:18.880 --> 01:17:24.340
task. I love it. I love any task that makes the
01:17:24.340 --> 01:17:28.340
cast furious. And this one did that really well.
01:17:30.300 --> 01:17:35.479
And now we get the fast food task. Which, very
01:17:35.479 --> 01:17:42.680
simple. I can't get the full text for it because
01:17:42.680 --> 01:17:46.039
the wiki hasn't been properly filled out yet.
01:17:46.409 --> 01:17:49.789
oh well uh basically provide the best drive -through
01:17:49.789 --> 01:17:52.489
experience and that this was a fairly long task
01:17:52.489 --> 01:17:56.729
but it wasn't necessarily a convoluted one because
01:17:56.729 --> 01:17:58.789
there was just a lot of information that needed
01:17:58.789 --> 01:18:02.149
to be contained or conveyed and it was what um
01:18:02.149 --> 01:18:07.449
accuracy speed and what was the uh third one
01:18:07.449 --> 01:18:16.189
pricing accurate oh no accurate pricing Good
01:18:16.189 --> 01:18:18.869
customer service? I don't know. I can't remember.
01:18:20.310 --> 01:18:27.270
Basically, there were three points, and for one
01:18:27.270 --> 01:18:29.750
team, all three of those points were a nightmare.
01:18:30.510 --> 01:18:34.029
But I wrote down some of what I spotted on the
01:18:34.029 --> 01:18:38.109
menu. Oh, I wrote, I screenshotted all of them,
01:18:38.189 --> 01:18:43.050
so let me tell you what they were. I just wrote
01:18:43.050 --> 01:18:47.380
down the ones that I enjoyed. Okay, mains. Number
01:18:47.380 --> 01:18:50.220
one, warm bread sandwich. Butter on the outside,
01:18:50.560 --> 01:18:56.319
five pounds. Triangle, pentagon, or circle. One
01:18:56.319 --> 01:18:58.979
pound, three pence. One pound, five pence. One
01:18:58.979 --> 01:19:04.840
pound, one. Burnt toast, 250. Toast soldiers,
01:19:05.300 --> 01:19:09.199
740. Can you tell me what are soldiers? Because
01:19:09.199 --> 01:19:12.579
we don't have those in America. So you soft boil
01:19:12.579 --> 01:19:15.279
an egg. And you put it in that little egg cup.
01:19:15.760 --> 01:19:17.899
And then you take off the top. And then you have
01:19:17.899 --> 01:19:19.680
toast that's just cut into strips for dipping
01:19:19.680 --> 01:19:24.140
in the egg. That's cute. Yeah. I like that. I
01:19:24.140 --> 01:19:27.180
don't know why we don't do it here. Because we
01:19:27.180 --> 01:19:30.439
are stupid. It's just kind of a more tactile
01:19:30.439 --> 01:19:33.899
way to eat your toast and eggs. Okay. I like
01:19:33.899 --> 01:19:36.960
that. That's cool. Toast that actually looks
01:19:36.960 --> 01:19:40.359
like soldiers. I love that. Ten pound four pence.
01:19:40.970 --> 01:19:46.029
uh steamed bread 390 so those are the mains the
01:19:46.029 --> 01:19:51.609
sides are 10 ice cubes in a tower 150 that reminds
01:19:51.609 --> 01:19:54.949
me of a black book gag which i don't know if
01:19:54.949 --> 01:19:57.689
you've ever seen this show black books so it's
01:19:57.689 --> 01:20:00.470
an old one unfortunately it's a gram line in
01:20:00.470 --> 01:20:05.270
one but the fact that it stars dylan moran bill
01:20:05.270 --> 01:20:10.630
bailey and shit i can't remember her name Who
01:20:10.630 --> 01:20:15.970
the fuck played Fran? It's Tamsin Gregg. And
01:20:15.970 --> 01:20:21.590
they... It's set in a bookshop where the owner
01:20:21.590 --> 01:20:24.069
does not want to sell books. He does not want
01:20:24.069 --> 01:20:27.890
to have customers. And his co -worker is Bill
01:20:27.890 --> 01:20:32.189
Bailey. Bill Bailey's not really playing a character.
01:20:32.390 --> 01:20:35.340
He's just Bill Bailey, which... I mean, a lot
01:20:35.340 --> 01:20:37.859
of these sitcoms are like that. And on one of
01:20:37.859 --> 01:20:40.079
them, they decide that in order to make more
01:20:40.079 --> 01:20:44.319
money, they need to become a restaurant. And
01:20:44.319 --> 01:20:47.920
they're working out of Bernard's disgusting kitchen,
01:20:48.020 --> 01:20:54.579
which at one point, he's trying to figure out
01:20:54.579 --> 01:20:56.739
what to make. He just takes all the knobs off
01:20:56.739 --> 01:20:59.880
of his oven and throws them into soup. While
01:20:59.880 --> 01:21:02.720
screaming at Manny to make a tower of soup. Because
01:21:02.720 --> 01:21:04.840
in fancy restaurants everything is served in
01:21:04.840 --> 01:21:09.319
a tower. And the soup is just tomato soup. And
01:21:09.319 --> 01:21:12.060
eventually Manny turns around with a plate of
01:21:12.060 --> 01:21:15.619
congealed tomato soup. And it's like all wobbly
01:21:15.619 --> 01:21:18.539
and slightly like off. And it's just not good
01:21:18.539 --> 01:21:20.680
enough. And Bernard throws it across the room.
01:21:21.300 --> 01:21:23.720
Oh my gosh. I love this show. It's one of my
01:21:23.720 --> 01:21:29.369
favorite shows. So. Yeah, when there was a tower
01:21:29.369 --> 01:21:32.949
of ice cubes, it's like, that's a fucking Dylan
01:21:32.949 --> 01:21:38.890
Moran joke right there. Right. So, yeah, so we've
01:21:38.890 --> 01:21:41.649
got 10 ice cubes in a tower. We've got a small
01:21:41.649 --> 01:21:45.369
flower castle with a moat for 99p. We've got
01:21:45.369 --> 01:21:49.550
homemade confetti for 125. And then for drinks,
01:21:49.569 --> 01:21:53.600
we have... So we have small, medium, and drizzle.
01:21:53.939 --> 01:21:57.479
I love that. Small is $2 .50. Medium is $3 .50.
01:21:57.560 --> 01:22:03.319
Drizzle is $99. So you can have still milk, dirty
01:22:03.319 --> 01:22:08.640
water, chewy milk, or fizzy milk. Like, of all
01:22:08.640 --> 01:22:13.399
of those, like, chewy milk is probably cheese.
01:22:15.079 --> 01:22:19.880
Fizzy milk. That implies that you're... putting
01:22:19.880 --> 01:22:22.840
carbon dioxide into it which instantly makes
01:22:22.840 --> 01:22:31.640
the milk go sour i mean my family lore drop here
01:22:31.640 --> 01:22:34.800
because i never talk about my brother but i have
01:22:34.800 --> 01:22:38.539
a brother little known fact we never we talk
01:22:38.539 --> 01:22:41.060
like twice a year on each other's birthdays and
01:22:41.060 --> 01:22:44.359
that's pretty much it but when he was a kid when
01:22:44.359 --> 01:22:48.010
we were kids he would He would his favorite drink
01:22:48.010 --> 01:22:51.970
was what he called milk and soda. And he was
01:22:51.970 --> 01:22:55.210
very particular about it was half and half milk
01:22:55.210 --> 01:22:57.470
and soda. And it was usually like diet Pepsi,
01:22:57.569 --> 01:22:59.470
I think, because that's usually what my dad had
01:22:59.470 --> 01:23:03.729
in the fridge. But it was milk and soda. And
01:23:03.729 --> 01:23:07.710
if you put the soda in first, he refused to drink.
01:23:08.069 --> 01:23:11.029
It had it couldn't be soda and milk. It had to
01:23:11.029 --> 01:23:15.770
be. And I tried it like once just to be like,
01:23:15.850 --> 01:23:18.310
what is the hype about this? And it was disgusting.
01:23:18.930 --> 01:23:22.409
And I was like, I don't understand why he likes
01:23:22.409 --> 01:23:24.770
this. Then you kind of think about it and like,
01:23:24.789 --> 01:23:28.630
you can do like root beer floats type of thing.
01:23:28.770 --> 01:23:33.250
You know, like that's dairy and soda in a way.
01:23:33.390 --> 01:23:36.729
So like I kind of understood it, but I was also
01:23:36.729 --> 01:23:41.409
like, no, like I don't really like soda. I like
01:23:41.409 --> 01:23:43.850
root beer. That's the only kind of soda I really
01:23:43.850 --> 01:23:47.390
like. If I have to drink soda, it's going to
01:23:47.390 --> 01:23:48.989
be root beer or it's going to be something orange.
01:23:49.670 --> 01:23:53.850
Otherwise, I'm not. I'll chug skim milk forever.
01:23:54.909 --> 01:23:58.630
And people will continue to yell at me. I'll
01:23:58.630 --> 01:24:01.609
just drink. I mean, not these days because I'm
01:24:01.609 --> 01:24:03.550
an adult and I have to buy my own milk and that's
01:24:03.550 --> 01:24:07.430
expensive. But like, yeah, he would just drink
01:24:07.430 --> 01:24:09.369
milk and soda. And so when they were like, fizzy
01:24:09.369 --> 01:24:13.390
milk. I remember what that tastes like. No, thank
01:24:13.390 --> 01:24:16.789
you. And then Rosie just dumping the dirt in
01:24:16.789 --> 01:24:21.090
the water was so funny. Dirty water. Okay. And
01:24:21.090 --> 01:24:24.470
then you were talking about fizzy milk when I
01:24:24.470 --> 01:24:27.850
was a kid. And this is going to sound a lot like
01:24:27.850 --> 01:24:34.010
an Alex Horne story, but we were, there was a
01:24:34.010 --> 01:24:37.270
period of time where my aunt lived with us because
01:24:37.270 --> 01:24:40.890
she had just broken her hip. after falling off
01:24:40.890 --> 01:24:44.350
of one of my mother's untrained horses. And we
01:24:44.350 --> 01:24:49.529
lived in this mobile home up on a hill, just
01:24:49.529 --> 01:24:52.050
out in the middle of nowhere. It was my mom,
01:24:52.050 --> 01:24:58.930
my aunt, my two cousins, and then I believe it
01:24:58.930 --> 01:25:01.510
was me and two of my siblings at that point.
01:25:01.649 --> 01:25:06.779
Yeah, because there had been a divorce. And my
01:25:06.779 --> 01:25:09.819
dad's kids from his first marriage just kind
01:25:09.819 --> 01:25:14.840
of left the picture with him. So there was a
01:25:14.840 --> 01:25:18.239
night where my mother was, I don't know what
01:25:18.239 --> 01:25:21.119
she was doing, but there was a house full of
01:25:21.119 --> 01:25:25.140
kids. And my aunt was still bedridden at that
01:25:25.140 --> 01:25:28.039
point. So she was kind of having to take care
01:25:28.039 --> 01:25:31.420
of everything, and she said, I'll make some macaroni
01:25:31.420 --> 01:25:34.760
and cheese. Kids like macaroni and cheese, but
01:25:34.760 --> 01:25:37.619
we didn't have any in the house. But we did have,
01:25:37.659 --> 01:25:41.739
like, dry macaroni noodles, and I don't know
01:25:41.739 --> 01:25:48.720
what she did. It came out blue, and it just tasted
01:25:48.720 --> 01:25:52.619
sour. It was the most disgusting thing, and then
01:25:52.619 --> 01:25:55.909
once it cooled, It had all congealed into this
01:25:55.909 --> 01:26:00.949
big just thing of rubber. So when I saw chewy
01:26:00.949 --> 01:26:04.170
milk, that's what my mind thought of was just
01:26:04.170 --> 01:26:09.510
really nasty cheese. To this day, I don't know
01:26:09.510 --> 01:26:12.329
why it turned blue. And it wasn't like that kind
01:26:12.329 --> 01:26:14.970
of blue that like sometimes like mozzarella will
01:26:14.970 --> 01:26:18.430
get if it's not good mozzarella. It was blue.
01:26:21.550 --> 01:26:23.829
To this day, I don't know what she tried to feed
01:26:23.829 --> 01:26:34.069
us. No one ate it. No surprise. Good times. Yeah.
01:26:36.210 --> 01:26:41.189
Disgusting milk and cheese stories. Yeah. So
01:26:41.189 --> 01:26:45.069
the last thing that I screenshot was the instructions
01:26:45.069 --> 01:26:50.829
on the till. Yes. So the instructions say. Note,
01:26:50.909 --> 01:26:54.029
this till works in pence. Do not use decimal
01:26:54.029 --> 01:26:57.090
points. So before I read what else is on, can
01:26:57.090 --> 01:27:00.649
we just shout out Jason for like running a till
01:27:00.649 --> 01:27:04.590
with money he doesn't normally handle? So, holy
01:27:04.590 --> 01:27:07.170
shit. I've got a lot to say about Jason. I've
01:27:07.170 --> 01:27:10.569
also got a lot to say about the till. Okay, so
01:27:10.569 --> 01:27:14.550
let me. Okay. Okay, so let me, so there's six
01:27:14.550 --> 01:27:19.390
steps to the till. Type price. Press for drink
01:27:19.390 --> 01:27:23.970
slash main slash side, etc. Press confirm. Input
01:27:23.970 --> 01:27:27.729
cash amount given. Press cash drawer. Give change.
01:27:30.229 --> 01:27:33.529
I've never worked a till. So I would have been
01:27:33.529 --> 01:27:36.890
baffled by this. So here's some deep lore. I
01:27:36.890 --> 01:27:41.529
did once work at a Burger King. I was fired within
01:27:41.529 --> 01:27:44.329
the first fortnight. Which is probably not a
01:27:44.329 --> 01:27:48.750
surprise to anybody who knows me. But... Like,
01:27:48.750 --> 01:27:53.409
yeah, I've used a fast food till in just just
01:27:53.409 --> 01:27:55.890
that, you know, barely two weeks that I worked
01:27:55.890 --> 01:28:00.489
there. That's how it works. And it doesn't matter
01:28:00.489 --> 01:28:02.409
that this is in British pounds, because what
01:28:02.409 --> 01:28:05.649
it means is that if it's, you know, seven dollars,
01:28:05.770 --> 01:28:08.750
50 or seven pounds, 50, you just type in 750
01:28:08.750 --> 01:28:14.390
because that's 750 pence. So you put you put
01:28:14.390 --> 01:28:17.470
in the price and then you tell it. basically
01:28:17.470 --> 01:28:21.489
what inventory you're you're doing and then you
01:28:21.489 --> 01:28:24.770
there's just a series of key presses and it will
01:28:24.770 --> 01:28:27.850
tally it all for you and it will tell you how
01:28:27.850 --> 01:28:30.569
much money you know you need and then you put
01:28:30.569 --> 01:28:32.970
in how much money they give you and then it tells
01:28:32.970 --> 01:28:34.930
you how much money to give back like it does
01:28:34.930 --> 01:28:39.970
the whole thing for you so Matt having a complete
01:28:39.970 --> 01:28:43.829
meltdown, which we'll also get to. Well, to be
01:28:43.829 --> 01:28:47.890
fair to him, would you really trust that Alex
01:28:47.890 --> 01:28:51.310
slash the team would have input the correct amount
01:28:51.310 --> 01:28:55.729
of money into those predetermined buttons? Well,
01:28:55.729 --> 01:28:57.529
because those buttons don't do anything with
01:28:57.529 --> 01:29:01.810
the price. The buttons are for inventory. Oh,
01:29:01.829 --> 01:29:04.250
okay. So I guess that didn't really matter. Yeah.
01:29:04.270 --> 01:29:06.550
Because they weren't... Meant to keep track of
01:29:06.550 --> 01:29:08.529
it. Because, yeah, like you put in the price
01:29:08.529 --> 01:29:10.890
and then you put in, you know, whether it's a
01:29:10.890 --> 01:29:16.010
side, a main, a snack, a drink or whatever. And
01:29:16.010 --> 01:29:19.350
it will know that, OK, well, this price corresponds
01:29:19.350 --> 01:29:24.250
with this side. And so it like it doesn't really
01:29:24.250 --> 01:29:27.470
need to know that it's, you know, exactly this.
01:29:27.510 --> 01:29:29.510
It just knows that we've sold this many sides
01:29:29.510 --> 01:29:33.630
at this price point. And so that makes inventory
01:29:33.630 --> 01:29:36.029
later easier, but that's just how the till works.
01:29:36.869 --> 01:29:41.310
But also I put down that this task, this is one
01:29:41.310 --> 01:29:45.470
where it seems like it is intentionally unfair.
01:29:46.149 --> 01:29:50.550
Like the team of three should theoretically have
01:29:50.550 --> 01:29:52.689
an easier time because there's three stations.
01:29:52.850 --> 01:29:56.710
And then we watch it play out. I mean, the way
01:29:56.710 --> 01:30:00.050
that Alex was like, I can't. believe we're about
01:30:00.050 --> 01:30:02.510
to see this team of three absolutely crush the
01:30:02.510 --> 01:30:06.029
team like very clearly that is not what's about
01:30:06.029 --> 01:30:09.770
to happen i mean it is soon as fatia asked matt
01:30:09.770 --> 01:30:13.510
can you count and the way he's like responded
01:30:13.510 --> 01:30:18.029
to that yeah like uh someone in the chat suggested
01:30:18.029 --> 01:30:22.170
that he might be dyscalculic dyscalculic which
01:30:22.170 --> 01:30:25.829
i i i relate to that i'm horrible i can't do
01:30:25.829 --> 01:30:30.689
numbers um as we saw recently when i put completely
01:30:30.689 --> 01:30:34.550
the wrong time in because i just could not read
01:30:34.550 --> 01:30:38.609
the times the way youtube presents them and so
01:30:38.609 --> 01:30:40.630
we we streamed a very different time to what
01:30:40.630 --> 01:30:44.029
it said said it would but like yeah that was
01:30:44.029 --> 01:30:47.270
a panic response to me that he was asked to do
01:30:47.270 --> 01:30:51.909
a thing and like his brain never considered that
01:30:51.909 --> 01:30:54.840
he was allowed to say no because Rosie had already
01:30:54.840 --> 01:30:57.319
said I'll do food, so he had felt backed into
01:30:57.319 --> 01:31:00.840
it probably. And he even said on the podcast
01:31:00.840 --> 01:31:04.939
that he was doing it all on his phone. And it's
01:31:04.939 --> 01:31:07.199
like, well, that's what the register is for.
01:31:07.479 --> 01:31:11.500
And basically, I get the feeling that Fathia
01:31:11.500 --> 01:31:14.119
and Jason were the only ones who have actually
01:31:14.119 --> 01:31:19.890
ever worked fast food. Yeah. Oh, also, it's fast
01:31:19.890 --> 01:31:23.329
service, accurate pricing, great food. There
01:31:23.329 --> 01:31:25.409
we go. Okay. I knew it was something like that.
01:31:26.569 --> 01:31:30.449
But, like, before we even get into it, what's
01:31:30.449 --> 01:31:35.170
a Pentagon? And then Fatia was apparently the
01:31:35.170 --> 01:31:37.630
only person on that team who had heard of THE
01:31:37.630 --> 01:31:44.359
Pentagon. But... It did seem like, initially.
01:31:44.720 --> 01:31:49.060
Also, did you clock that Rosie drew a pentagon?
01:31:49.159 --> 01:31:54.939
Yes. For fuck's sake. I mean, I can kind of get
01:31:54.939 --> 01:31:56.659
that if you've never learned what a pentagon
01:31:56.659 --> 01:32:01.979
is. But how do you not? How do you go into school,
01:32:02.060 --> 01:32:05.560
primary school, I guess, and not learn basic
01:32:05.560 --> 01:32:09.720
shit? Like, pent you know is five. Rosie, please
01:32:09.720 --> 01:32:12.619
tell me you know that Pentameter 5... Especially
01:32:12.619 --> 01:32:15.760
because I don't know if this is the case now,
01:32:15.979 --> 01:32:21.399
but, like, a certain amount of Latin, at least
01:32:21.399 --> 01:32:24.420
at one point, was part of the national curriculum.
01:32:25.000 --> 01:32:29.199
Yeah. But also what they could have just done...
01:32:29.500 --> 01:32:31.979
It didn't say that it had, I forget the word
01:32:31.979 --> 01:32:34.460
for it, but you know, the one where all the sides
01:32:34.460 --> 01:32:36.800
and angles are the same. It didn't say that it
01:32:36.800 --> 01:32:39.239
had to be that kind of pentagon. If you cut off
01:32:39.239 --> 01:32:43.520
a corner, it's still five sides. That's true.
01:32:44.020 --> 01:32:49.520
All you need is five sides. And then we have
01:32:49.520 --> 01:32:54.119
a line at Fatia. Be nice to everyone who comes.
01:32:55.180 --> 01:32:58.460
And then, like, the first thing she says through
01:32:58.460 --> 01:33:02.479
the radio is, shut up, I'm with a customer. And
01:33:02.479 --> 01:33:07.260
what I wrote down for this is, I don't know if
01:33:07.260 --> 01:33:10.439
you'll get this reference, and maybe one viewer
01:33:10.439 --> 01:33:19.739
will, but JV were an extremely rural Burgerville
01:33:19.739 --> 01:33:22.840
run by one of those couples that's just a little
01:33:22.840 --> 01:33:26.789
too friendly. Whereas the team of three were
01:33:26.789 --> 01:33:31.010
the 3 a .m. shift at a jack -in -the -box in
01:33:31.010 --> 01:33:39.390
a rough part of town. Yep. 100%. Yeah. Yep. Yep.
01:33:39.529 --> 01:33:43.050
Yeah, J .V. Marzoukas was like your southern
01:33:43.050 --> 01:33:48.930
cooking hometown. So up here we have Burgerville.
01:33:50.439 --> 01:33:53.380
You're probably too far south to know what this
01:33:53.380 --> 01:33:56.180
is. It's basically our in and out. Burgerville?
01:33:56.399 --> 01:33:58.579
Yeah. Yeah, we don't have Burgerville. It's basically
01:33:58.579 --> 01:34:02.100
our internet or in and out, except it's got charm
01:34:02.100 --> 01:34:05.319
and it doesn't have the subliminal Bible bashing
01:34:05.319 --> 01:34:10.039
messaging. Like, it's pretty mid. People from
01:34:10.039 --> 01:34:12.100
here are supposed to worship it the way people
01:34:12.100 --> 01:34:14.359
in California are supposed to worship in and
01:34:14.359 --> 01:34:18.899
out. I mean, it's all right. But, yeah, it's
01:34:18.899 --> 01:34:21.100
just one of those really wholesome local chains
01:34:21.100 --> 01:34:26.739
that would absolutely behave like that in certain
01:34:26.739 --> 01:34:31.020
areas of the state. Mm -hmm. Yep. But, yeah,
01:34:31.060 --> 01:34:34.579
basically, JV just fucking got onto it. They
01:34:34.579 --> 01:34:38.399
had a rough patch at the beginning. And it didn't
01:34:38.399 --> 01:34:41.920
help that Alex kept changing his order and...
01:34:42.270 --> 01:34:44.510
just stevie just instantly having a breakdown
01:34:44.510 --> 01:34:47.689
but even while she was struggling she was doing
01:34:47.689 --> 01:34:51.350
something and as we have discussed to death doing
01:34:51.350 --> 01:34:55.090
something is what what wins tasks yeah i mean
01:34:55.090 --> 01:35:00.210
she very quickly quickly was like i'm gonna have
01:35:00.210 --> 01:35:02.989
a breakdown yeah and i was so nervous for her
01:35:02.989 --> 01:35:05.130
because i really wanted them to do surprised
01:35:05.130 --> 01:35:08.470
at how well they did like jason i don't want
01:35:08.470 --> 01:35:12.090
to say that jason carried it but like because
01:35:12.090 --> 01:35:15.949
stevie did do a lot of work but jason was fucking
01:35:15.949 --> 01:35:19.470
on top of it like he was running between both
01:35:19.470 --> 01:35:23.750
stations and doing all of it and like a great
01:35:23.750 --> 01:35:27.529
host holy shit but also like so we get another
01:35:27.529 --> 01:35:31.130
andy c cameo which we love him and we get another
01:35:31.130 --> 01:35:34.010
member of the crew i don't know if we know that
01:35:34.010 --> 01:35:36.350
i don't know her name either but she's been in
01:35:36.350 --> 01:35:40.180
a couple of tasks this season yeah yeah But,
01:35:40.199 --> 01:35:43.800
yeah, I love... Maybe I'll ask the Andes, like...
01:35:43.800 --> 01:35:49.619
What's her name? Who that is. Yeah. We'll get
01:35:49.619 --> 01:35:53.500
her on the pod. Yes. But, yeah, I love how Jason
01:35:53.500 --> 01:35:56.399
just decides, okay, the way that we fix this
01:35:56.399 --> 01:35:59.979
is to just slow down, just start bullshitting
01:35:59.979 --> 01:36:02.579
with them, you know, tell them the local... It
01:36:02.579 --> 01:36:05.560
was so smart. Yeah. Tell them the story of this
01:36:05.560 --> 01:36:08.949
little local restaurant and... What I loved was
01:36:08.949 --> 01:36:12.930
that Stevie picked up on that and started doing
01:36:12.930 --> 01:36:16.270
the same thing. She was repeating the exact order
01:36:16.270 --> 01:36:20.090
to everyone. She was talking slowly and she was
01:36:20.090 --> 01:36:22.630
just slowing things down so that they didn't
01:36:22.630 --> 01:36:25.989
really clock, I guess, how long they'd been waiting.
01:36:26.149 --> 01:36:30.810
And it was perfect. And yeah, it was just pure
01:36:30.810 --> 01:36:37.699
local restaurant chain energy. It was really
01:36:37.699 --> 01:36:43.340
good. It was really impressive. It was, yeah.
01:36:43.560 --> 01:36:46.960
Like, I did not expect them to do this task well
01:36:46.960 --> 01:36:49.720
at all. I expected this to be a clusterfuck.
01:36:50.119 --> 01:36:55.720
And instead, like, I won't say that it turned
01:36:55.720 --> 01:36:58.199
into a big nothing because it was very entertaining
01:36:58.199 --> 01:37:01.699
to watch, especially watching Jason juggle two
01:37:01.699 --> 01:37:06.890
different stations. While Stevie, she made a
01:37:06.890 --> 01:37:10.430
few mistakes, but like they, it went really well
01:37:10.430 --> 01:37:14.109
for them. Yeah. And then every time she did make
01:37:14.109 --> 01:37:16.409
a mistake, she was like, I'm so sorry. I'll be
01:37:16.409 --> 01:37:18.369
right back. And then, you know, she'd go and
01:37:18.369 --> 01:37:23.149
like, even I think, I think, and I don't think
01:37:23.149 --> 01:37:25.810
this was on the printed menus that we saw, but
01:37:25.810 --> 01:37:29.189
Alex was like, oh, I asked for like extra gluten.
01:37:29.329 --> 01:37:31.529
Yeah. And she was like, oh, I'll be right back.
01:37:31.609 --> 01:37:36.439
And she cut. flag for the castle yeah it looked
01:37:36.439 --> 01:37:39.479
like it was out of bread crust yeah she had cut
01:37:39.479 --> 01:37:42.680
out a little flag out of bread and put it into
01:37:42.680 --> 01:37:47.520
the middle of the flower castle like that i didn't
01:37:47.520 --> 01:37:50.380
really catch the first time like why she did
01:37:50.380 --> 01:37:52.199
that and then the second time i watched it i
01:37:52.199 --> 01:37:54.479
was it's a little flag for like the top of the
01:37:54.479 --> 01:37:57.300
castle it was brilliant that's really smart that's
01:37:57.300 --> 01:38:01.569
really smart yeah i was really impressed with
01:38:01.569 --> 01:38:03.750
those two and then the fucking team of three
01:38:03.750 --> 01:38:07.270
was just a hot fucking mess well for first i've
01:38:07.270 --> 01:38:10.109
got a couple of notes greg called it classy as
01:38:10.109 --> 01:38:14.010
fuck the show classy as fuck the show yeah yeah
01:38:14.010 --> 01:38:17.670
and then yeah alex doesn't know how to cry which
01:38:17.670 --> 01:38:20.229
greg had just accused him of crying every night
01:38:20.229 --> 01:38:24.050
when he went to the bed but also i think i feel
01:38:24.050 --> 01:38:27.609
like i've heard somewhere maybe in an interview
01:38:27.609 --> 01:38:30.050
that alex has done or something that like he
01:38:30.050 --> 01:38:34.189
he actually like really doesn't cry yeah no like
01:38:34.189 --> 01:38:40.810
it's it's it's pretty much a thing um david mitchell
01:38:40.810 --> 01:38:43.909
has also talked about this i think it was in
01:38:43.909 --> 01:38:47.630
one of his books about how he doesn't think he's
01:38:47.630 --> 01:38:51.689
cried since he was about 12 but he also acknowledges
01:38:51.689 --> 01:38:55.430
that if he could it would probably fix him And
01:38:55.430 --> 01:38:57.689
it's like, that's one of the most relatable things
01:38:57.689 --> 01:39:01.930
this man has ever said. And then, yeah, like,
01:39:01.970 --> 01:39:04.750
we get into the team of three, and Fatia was
01:39:04.750 --> 01:39:08.510
the only one who knew what she was doing. And,
01:39:08.590 --> 01:39:12.970
like... Weirdly. Yeah. Because I think Ed pointed
01:39:12.970 --> 01:39:16.909
this out in his, that, yeah, we had Jason, or
01:39:16.909 --> 01:39:20.189
not Jason, Matt, scrambling around trying to
01:39:20.189 --> 01:39:23.279
get everything ready. for himself, which we just
01:39:23.279 --> 01:39:26.119
realized was, you know, pointless because he
01:39:26.119 --> 01:39:29.939
still didn't know what he was doing. And Fatia
01:39:29.939 --> 01:39:33.319
and Rosie were arguing over what the fuck a Pentagon
01:39:33.319 --> 01:39:36.560
is. And then the first thing we hear from Fatia
01:39:36.560 --> 01:39:42.279
is shut up over the radio. But yeah, like Matt
01:39:42.279 --> 01:39:47.479
went totally silent. He just froze. No acknowledgement
01:39:47.479 --> 01:39:51.569
to Alex. Just, you know, no, no, one moment here.
01:39:51.810 --> 01:39:55.630
And immediately the line backs up because Matt
01:39:55.630 --> 01:39:59.909
can't count. Rosie can't - Also, did not clock
01:39:59.909 --> 01:40:02.729
the giant sign at the front of the Taskmaster
01:40:02.729 --> 01:40:07.270
house that said pick up here. Yes. Like, Matt
01:40:07.270 --> 01:40:13.250
was just - He brought the task down pretty much
01:40:13.250 --> 01:40:15.109
single -handedly. Rosie didn't know what the
01:40:15.109 --> 01:40:19.079
fuck she was doing. But - Matt's the reason why
01:40:19.079 --> 01:40:21.979
they got instantly backed up and had to rush
01:40:21.979 --> 01:40:25.100
to find a scooter or something. I would love
01:40:25.100 --> 01:40:28.199
to know more backstory to that. Like, what was
01:40:28.199 --> 01:40:33.920
the scooter a pre -thought -out contingency?
01:40:34.819 --> 01:40:41.939
I don't think it was because they said they weren't
01:40:41.939 --> 01:40:47.979
because they said that I forget where I heard
01:40:47.979 --> 01:40:50.979
this. Was it in the episode or was it in an hour?
01:40:51.079 --> 01:40:54.600
But they were like, we definitely didn't plan
01:40:54.600 --> 01:40:57.239
to do that. So I think they probably just had
01:40:57.239 --> 01:41:00.220
to run in the shed on a scooter and just be like,
01:41:00.680 --> 01:41:04.859
uh, here you go. And then we have a quote from
01:41:04.859 --> 01:41:13.000
Rosie that's just, what is a moat? See, there
01:41:13.000 --> 01:41:16.279
was a guy I met in college who told me he didn't
01:41:16.279 --> 01:41:20.300
know what a dragon was and i was like fully did
01:41:20.300 --> 01:41:23.680
not believe him and he kept insisting to me he
01:41:23.680 --> 01:41:28.680
didn't know what i was talking about i've lost
01:41:28.680 --> 01:41:30.779
you entirely there i don't know what this what
01:41:30.779 --> 01:41:35.939
this audio is doing it's funny because we i am
01:41:35.939 --> 01:41:40.680
begging you to pick up my fucking voice You goddamn
01:41:40.680 --> 01:41:43.680
son of a bitch. Well, it's funny because we do
01:41:43.680 --> 01:41:46.920
voice chats off camera fairly regularly. This
01:41:46.920 --> 01:41:50.319
only happens when we're live. Are you not picking
01:41:50.319 --> 01:41:52.720
me up at all? Yeah, you just cut out completely.
01:41:54.079 --> 01:41:56.979
It's like, this is a boring ass story. Shut the
01:41:56.979 --> 01:42:03.539
fuck up. Jesus Christ. Okay, never mind. Never
01:42:03.539 --> 01:42:08.180
mind. But like, Fatia was just completely the
01:42:08.180 --> 01:42:12.060
shift manager. She was barking at people, telling
01:42:12.060 --> 01:42:14.380
them what to do, telling them how much they sucked.
01:42:15.060 --> 01:42:17.899
And, yeah, it was just 3 a .m. at Jack in the
01:42:17.899 --> 01:42:21.760
Box energy. Which, if you've never been to a
01:42:21.760 --> 01:42:24.079
Jack in the Box at 3 a .m., and if you're not
01:42:24.079 --> 01:42:27.840
from the States, their entire model is that they
01:42:27.840 --> 01:42:30.460
don't make it until you order it. And you will
01:42:30.460 --> 01:42:33.979
be sat in that drive -thru line for a half hour
01:42:33.979 --> 01:42:36.970
waiting for your meal. And you go there knowing
01:42:36.970 --> 01:42:39.550
this. It is not a surprise that they take for
01:42:39.550 --> 01:42:45.869
fucking ever. Like, it's a good model. I like
01:42:45.869 --> 01:42:49.869
that they do that. And they've been having these
01:42:49.869 --> 01:42:53.109
for a while. That's what the munchy meals are
01:42:53.109 --> 01:42:57.520
supposed to be. doing for them to kind of offset
01:42:57.520 --> 01:43:00.560
that time because like oh here's something that
01:43:00.560 --> 01:43:03.340
got made accidentally or we have all of this
01:43:03.340 --> 01:43:07.239
extra shit that you know nobody picked up so
01:43:07.239 --> 01:43:11.560
just cobble it all together and call it a meal
01:43:11.560 --> 01:43:14.920
yeah and they used to be a lot better they're
01:43:14.920 --> 01:43:21.220
really boring now but yeah just what was it andy
01:43:21.220 --> 01:43:23.439
that ordered the burnt toast and then said fuck
01:43:23.439 --> 01:43:27.439
this Yeah, he fucks right off. He did. He was
01:43:27.439 --> 01:43:29.239
like, I don't fucking have time to wait around.
01:43:30.079 --> 01:43:33.220
I mean, I wouldn't wait that long for some burnt
01:43:33.220 --> 01:43:36.100
toast either. That took, what was it, 16 minutes?
01:43:36.100 --> 01:43:39.880
16 minutes. Incredible. To burn toast. I've burnt
01:43:39.880 --> 01:43:44.319
toast in 30 seconds. It's not hard. Skill issue.
01:43:45.020 --> 01:43:48.579
Total skill issue. And that was another thing
01:43:48.579 --> 01:43:51.960
that JV did really well was they recognized we're
01:43:51.960 --> 01:43:54.729
making fast food. this shit's all prepared in
01:43:54.729 --> 01:43:58.189
advance. Yeah. Like, figure out what they're
01:43:58.189 --> 01:44:00.829
likely to order and start making it in advance.
01:44:01.109 --> 01:44:03.609
And that really helped them. That was really
01:44:03.609 --> 01:44:07.250
smart. And then Greg called Matt a stoner, which,
01:44:07.329 --> 01:44:10.949
I mean, yeah, that definitely fits into their
01:44:10.949 --> 01:44:14.789
energy. Because Matt said that he was using his
01:44:14.789 --> 01:44:17.699
phone. To tot it all up. Which is funny because
01:44:17.699 --> 01:44:20.699
he'd also taken the screenshots. So he must have
01:44:20.699 --> 01:44:22.800
been going back and forth between the screenshots
01:44:22.800 --> 01:44:31.779
and the calculator. Yep. Which. Yep. Like I get
01:44:31.779 --> 01:44:34.180
where he was coming from. Yeah. But also like
01:44:34.180 --> 01:44:35.779
in the heat of the moment that would have been
01:44:35.779 --> 01:44:39.079
a nightmare. But like the way Jason was doing
01:44:39.079 --> 01:44:42.560
it. was exactly how it needed to be done because
01:44:42.560 --> 01:44:47.340
he was you know saying each item out loud and
01:44:47.340 --> 01:44:49.260
then i think he was also saying the price even
01:44:49.260 --> 01:44:51.159
though that didn't matter because he was telling
01:44:51.159 --> 01:44:54.220
it to himself and he did get the price wrong
01:44:54.220 --> 01:44:57.800
a couple of times but that didn't matter where
01:44:57.800 --> 01:44:59.680
matt seemed to think that this whole thing was
01:44:59.680 --> 01:45:04.750
going to hinge on accurate prices and that's
01:45:04.750 --> 01:45:07.449
that's what again i i get where he was coming
01:45:07.449 --> 01:45:10.649
from but like you there's no really way to predict
01:45:10.649 --> 01:45:14.170
whether that's gonna be what they actually are
01:45:14.170 --> 01:45:17.050
yeah because i mean he's definitely a fan of
01:45:17.050 --> 01:45:20.649
the show and he definitely came on here all try
01:45:20.649 --> 01:45:22.729
hard energy i don't care what he said on the
01:45:22.729 --> 01:45:27.010
podcast like everyone from series three there
01:45:27.010 --> 01:45:29.760
was no question that matt was winning this He
01:45:29.760 --> 01:45:32.000
ran away with it, which I think is why we didn't
01:45:32.000 --> 01:45:35.039
see too many league table scores. Because at
01:45:35.039 --> 01:45:38.979
a certain point, it's just like, eh, cool, he's
01:45:38.979 --> 01:45:44.100
winning still. There was no competition. Yeah.
01:45:44.180 --> 01:45:47.760
So yeah, the wait times, the team of two had
01:45:47.760 --> 01:45:51.720
a 31 second wait time, which is frankly phenomenal
01:45:51.720 --> 01:45:55.800
for some of the absolute bullshit that they had
01:45:55.800 --> 01:46:01.079
on the menu. Team of two, two minutes 41. And
01:46:01.079 --> 01:46:05.939
awful. Yeah. Especially considering one person
01:46:05.939 --> 01:46:11.479
fucked off. Yeah. So that gave the team of two,
01:46:11.560 --> 01:46:13.939
five points, the team of three, three points.
01:46:14.479 --> 01:46:19.640
And I think, I think Ed mentioned this, that
01:46:19.640 --> 01:46:24.500
Greg's getting soft. Yeah, they did not deserve
01:46:24.500 --> 01:46:30.000
three points. No. They did not. I'd have maybe
01:46:30.000 --> 01:46:33.859
given them two. That was an omni shambles. Just
01:46:33.859 --> 01:46:40.880
not good. No. And then we've got this live task,
01:46:41.100 --> 01:46:45.899
and I feel like this is, we saw a couple of images
01:46:45.899 --> 01:46:48.560
that got, you know, posted, stroked, leaked.
01:46:49.180 --> 01:46:51.119
I don't know when they turned up, but we were
01:46:51.119 --> 01:46:55.140
analyzing a few images before the episode started.
01:46:55.520 --> 01:46:58.760
And Matt trying to bite his carrot was one of
01:46:58.760 --> 01:47:01.960
them. And then Amanda and I were analyzing the
01:47:01.960 --> 01:47:06.300
one with the dog to try to find it. Yeah. But,
01:47:06.300 --> 01:47:14.579
yes. Is this the bit where Greg calls Alex his
01:47:14.579 --> 01:47:17.520
faithful, featureless little sausage dog, or
01:47:17.520 --> 01:47:21.909
does that come later? I can't remember. I've
01:47:21.909 --> 01:47:24.090
written it down. I know that. I think it may
01:47:24.090 --> 01:47:26.430
have been right before they announced the final
01:47:26.430 --> 01:47:29.890
scores. So, yeah. I needed to make sure we brought
01:47:29.890 --> 01:47:33.630
them. Yes. Get the most carrot in your bucket.
01:47:33.670 --> 01:47:36.369
You must hold your hands behind your back at
01:47:36.369 --> 01:47:39.090
all times. Which nobody did. Yeah, this is what
01:47:39.090 --> 01:47:42.510
we were just talking about. Rules just get chucked
01:47:42.510 --> 01:47:45.970
out because, well, it didn't affect the task.
01:47:46.609 --> 01:47:48.930
Like the one, there's one in series four where
01:47:48.930 --> 01:47:51.350
they have to get the water from one fishbowl
01:47:51.350 --> 01:47:54.869
to another without touching the fishbowls. And
01:47:54.869 --> 01:47:57.789
they had to narrate in the third person throughout,
01:47:58.090 --> 01:48:02.289
which Joe didn't do. And I think Hugh was really
01:48:02.289 --> 01:48:04.649
pissed off about that. But as Greg rightly pointed
01:48:04.649 --> 01:48:09.359
out, narrating it wasn't integral. And I think
01:48:09.359 --> 01:48:11.619
the way Greg had interpreted that was, if you
01:48:11.619 --> 01:48:14.159
are speaking, you must do it in the third person.
01:48:14.859 --> 01:48:20.220
Yeah. That's a concern. There's either sand or
01:48:20.220 --> 01:48:27.460
breadcrumbs. So, yeah. Click it and find out.
01:48:30.159 --> 01:48:32.180
You're never going to get over Desiree eating
01:48:32.180 --> 01:48:38.600
sand. So gross. But yeah, so holding your hands
01:48:38.600 --> 01:48:41.760
behind your back, that just immediately tossed
01:48:41.760 --> 01:48:44.760
out because it didn't matter. No one was cheating
01:48:44.760 --> 01:48:47.659
anyway, which that's what that kind of rule is
01:48:47.659 --> 01:48:50.880
supposed to be doing. Yeah. And like, I mean,
01:48:50.880 --> 01:48:53.319
had Rosie adhered to that, she'd have fallen
01:48:53.319 --> 01:48:58.159
on her face. Yeah. And then... I think, let me,
01:48:58.260 --> 01:49:03.300
I think Amanda summed it up really well in the
01:49:03.300 --> 01:49:36.750
group chat. Yeah, Amanda said... Yeah. I put
01:49:36.750 --> 01:49:40.810
down, Jason bullies it into working. Yeah. Which
01:49:40.810 --> 01:49:47.170
is basically what he did. Yeah. And then we had,
01:49:47.229 --> 01:49:51.449
yeah, Stevie, just probably this is what Alex
01:49:51.449 --> 01:49:54.409
had expected them to do, was that she was biting
01:49:54.409 --> 01:49:57.350
off pieces and spitting it into the bucket, which
01:49:57.350 --> 01:50:01.510
Matt followed. And then we had Rosie. She dropped
01:50:01.510 --> 01:50:04.479
hers and wound up licking it off the floor. And
01:50:04.479 --> 01:50:09.100
this will be how the next pandemic starts. She
01:50:09.100 --> 01:50:13.460
was literally licking the floor. Yeah, she sure
01:50:13.460 --> 01:50:19.840
was. I mean, there's that task in Series 10 with
01:50:19.840 --> 01:50:25.659
the watermelons, which, I mean, everyone said
01:50:25.659 --> 01:50:28.659
COVID came from Wuhan. I think COVID came from
01:50:28.659 --> 01:50:31.340
the watermelon task. And the next one's going
01:50:31.340 --> 01:50:33.979
to come from Rosie licking the floor. That was
01:50:33.979 --> 01:50:40.100
disgusting. Yep. And what did I put? This will
01:50:40.100 --> 01:50:43.279
be how the, yeah. Oh yeah. I just said that.
01:50:43.300 --> 01:50:46.739
Okay. But so yeah, like, I mean, they all got
01:50:46.739 --> 01:50:49.060
it done. I didn't write it down, but I knew that
01:50:49.060 --> 01:50:53.479
I'd have it right here where Fatia. Yeah. Got
01:50:53.479 --> 01:50:58.500
one point. Rosie got two. Jason got three. Stevie
01:50:58.500 --> 01:51:05.300
got four. And. matt got three stevie got four
01:51:05.300 --> 01:51:09.380
and jason got five just because yeah yep and
01:51:09.380 --> 01:51:12.159
yeah this is where we favorite featureless sausage
01:51:12.159 --> 01:51:15.840
dog faithful featureless little sausage faithful
01:51:15.840 --> 01:51:19.720
i heard favorite yeah it was faithful okay but
01:51:19.720 --> 01:51:23.319
let's talk about this total points upset let's
01:51:23.319 --> 01:51:26.500
do it yeah because i this was this brought me
01:51:26.500 --> 01:51:30.979
closer to what my original it did lineup was
01:51:30.979 --> 01:51:33.220
going to be and i was very happy with I think
01:51:33.220 --> 01:51:40.960
I just wanted to switch around Matt with Jason.
01:51:41.300 --> 01:51:47.060
I forget. I wasn't expecting this at all. I thought
01:51:47.060 --> 01:51:51.779
Stevie would come in first. In episode one, I
01:51:51.779 --> 01:51:54.359
was predictions. I was like, Stevie's going to
01:51:54.359 --> 01:51:56.500
come in first. She comes in second. Not bad.
01:51:57.479 --> 01:51:59.880
And then I was like, Jason's going to come in
01:51:59.880 --> 01:52:03.199
second. Yeah. And I was like, Jason's going to
01:52:03.199 --> 01:52:06.479
come in second. He came in third. And then I
01:52:06.479 --> 01:52:09.899
think I put, I think I put Fatiha at the bottom.
01:52:10.260 --> 01:52:15.699
So I really just needed to switch Matt and. But
01:52:15.699 --> 01:52:18.840
yeah, like this was a disaster for both Fatiha
01:52:18.840 --> 01:52:22.359
and Rosie. Yeah. She really went down. Rosie
01:52:22.359 --> 01:52:25.100
did. Yeah. Cause she, she was in second for nearly
01:52:25.100 --> 01:52:27.869
the whole thing. which I still never sat down
01:52:27.869 --> 01:52:29.750
to do the maths because it's a lot of maths.
01:52:29.890 --> 01:52:32.970
And like Matt, I don't know how to count. So,
01:52:33.050 --> 01:52:38.670
but like, we all knew Matt was going to win.
01:52:38.829 --> 01:52:42.609
That was a foregone conclusion. But like, I can't
01:52:42.609 --> 01:52:44.970
believe how much this one episode changed the
01:52:44.970 --> 01:52:48.550
entire scoreboard, which shows how close it was
01:52:48.550 --> 01:52:52.229
for everyone. Like it's only Matt that was pulling
01:52:52.229 --> 01:52:56.899
ahead. And the fact that it had been, solidly
01:52:56.899 --> 01:53:00.659
consistent for most of, if not the entire series.
01:53:00.880 --> 01:53:02.720
Because we've been saying for weeks that the
01:53:02.720 --> 01:53:06.600
scoreboard hasn't moved. Yeah. And all of a sudden,
01:53:06.659 --> 01:53:10.159
it's in a totally different order. Yeah, that
01:53:10.159 --> 01:53:14.060
was wild. And that is what it takes. Just one
01:53:14.060 --> 01:53:17.760
bad episode can absolutely fuck you. And the
01:53:17.760 --> 01:53:20.439
fact that it was a bad episode for both Fatia
01:53:20.439 --> 01:53:28.779
and Rosie is astonishing. And if you remember
01:53:28.779 --> 01:53:34.420
Nick and he gave a prediction numbers wise, his
01:53:34.420 --> 01:53:38.119
prediction was there will be six ones and one
01:53:38.119 --> 01:53:42.699
six. And he was correct. He was correct. Pretty
01:53:42.699 --> 01:53:46.880
impressive. Yeah. See, I never got into the numerology
01:53:46.880 --> 01:53:51.439
for obvious reasons. Right. Yeah. I just can't
01:53:51.439 --> 01:53:54.689
get my head around them. But like. It's always
01:53:54.689 --> 01:53:58.430
been a branch of magic that has fascinated me.
01:53:59.529 --> 01:54:02.909
Probably because I don't know how it works. Like,
01:54:02.930 --> 01:54:05.029
I could do the card magic. I could do the coin
01:54:05.029 --> 01:54:09.789
magic. I did big props. I was really good at
01:54:09.789 --> 01:54:14.670
the patter. But the coins, or rather the numbers,
01:54:14.770 --> 01:54:18.609
just baffle me. And I know there's a way that
01:54:18.609 --> 01:54:21.640
it works. And I know that it's a very logical
01:54:21.640 --> 01:54:25.380
way. And it's tied to the way that hot reading
01:54:25.380 --> 01:54:29.579
works. Or, sorry, cold reading. It's a totally
01:54:29.579 --> 01:54:32.619
different method. But it's tied to that in a
01:54:32.619 --> 01:54:38.420
way that I just don't understand. Yeah. So, yeah,
01:54:38.460 --> 01:54:44.159
his predictions came true. And so, and Ed had
01:54:44.159 --> 01:54:49.279
met on the podcast. And they did. Ed did bring
01:54:49.279 --> 01:54:52.800
up fanfiction. Yes. Again, because they obviously
01:54:52.800 --> 01:54:56.680
had to talk about the thought process behind
01:54:56.680 --> 01:55:01.500
the yogurt task, which I'm glad that we got more
01:55:01.500 --> 01:55:07.619
of, because, I mean, what the fuck? Matt trying
01:55:07.619 --> 01:55:11.659
to act like that task wasn't filth. Yeah. And
01:55:11.659 --> 01:55:16.119
then, yeah, Ed was like, I mean, you know, there's
01:55:16.119 --> 01:55:19.279
a certain, you know. group of the fandom out
01:55:19.279 --> 01:55:22.020
there that like you know i mean you basically
01:55:22.020 --> 01:55:24.439
just like wrote the fan fiction for them so that
01:55:24.439 --> 01:55:28.739
they don't need to write it's on video he's not
01:55:28.739 --> 01:55:32.920
wrong he's not wrong i mean there have been fics
01:55:32.920 --> 01:55:36.300
but at the same time oh yeah he's not wrong no
01:55:36.300 --> 01:55:39.359
yeah and then we get matt snogging the trophy
01:55:39.359 --> 01:55:44.840
oh my gosh let's talk about this uh a time -honored
01:55:44.840 --> 01:55:48.680
tradition of making out with trophy no matter
01:55:48.680 --> 01:55:54.420
what uh country your taskmaster is in that's
01:55:54.420 --> 01:55:58.199
what you do with the trophy also like have we
01:55:58.199 --> 01:56:01.460
talked about have we talked about jeremy wells
01:56:01.460 --> 01:56:09.199
making out with with who jeremy wells the yeah
01:56:09.199 --> 01:56:11.060
i know that but i didn't hear anything after
01:56:11.060 --> 01:56:14.060
jeremy wells have we talked about him making
01:56:14.060 --> 01:56:18.329
out with his own Oh, with his own trophy? Yeah.
01:56:18.470 --> 01:56:21.090
I don't think so. Yeah, it's because you haven't
01:56:21.090 --> 01:56:25.510
watched it yet. Spoilers. But go watch the rest
01:56:25.510 --> 01:56:29.750
of New Zealand because it's, like, Jeremy, we
01:56:29.750 --> 01:56:31.869
always say, and I feel so bad, but, like, he's
01:56:31.869 --> 01:56:34.630
so boring, right? But, like, at the very end
01:56:34.630 --> 01:56:40.500
of the most recent series... the last like three
01:56:40.500 --> 01:56:42.560
seconds is just him making out with his trophy
01:56:42.560 --> 01:56:45.659
and then it just and it's like and i'm like wait
01:56:45.659 --> 01:56:47.960
wait wait where has this behavior been all this
01:56:47.960 --> 01:56:51.760
time come back what are you doing jesus christ
01:56:51.760 --> 01:56:57.260
but matt making out with the trophy i mean is
01:56:57.260 --> 01:57:01.000
so so many contestants have done it go back and
01:57:01.000 --> 01:57:05.279
watch it because he really goes like he's like
01:57:05.279 --> 01:57:09.720
an open mouth open mouth kissing like making
01:57:09.720 --> 01:57:12.640
out with it while he's high -fiving the whole
01:57:12.640 --> 01:57:16.539
cast and then and then at the very end he like
01:57:16.539 --> 01:57:21.039
goes up for breath like his tongue is all the
01:57:21.039 --> 01:57:24.939
way out like jesus christ and then finally putting
01:57:24.939 --> 01:57:28.340
the cherry on top wiping off his lips with the
01:57:28.340 --> 01:57:32.100
back of his hand and be woo and i'm like My guy,
01:57:32.279 --> 01:57:35.800
this is how you do it. This is how you win Taskmaster,
01:57:36.140 --> 01:57:39.039
and this is how you celebrate doing it, because
01:57:39.039 --> 01:57:44.539
holy shit, that tongue action. It's such a weirdly
01:57:44.539 --> 01:57:51.439
horny show. Understatement of the century. Because,
01:57:51.739 --> 01:57:54.699
like, I've been watching panel shows for fucking
01:57:54.699 --> 01:57:59.159
ever, and there's always an amount of homoeroticism.
01:57:59.800 --> 01:58:02.680
like it's just baked into the format at this
01:58:02.680 --> 01:58:06.880
point yeah this one particular this this show
01:58:06.880 --> 01:58:10.920
just it's like they forget they're on television
01:58:10.920 --> 01:58:15.399
sometimes well i think matt definitely oh my
01:58:15.399 --> 01:58:18.180
god because like quite a few times he forgot
01:58:18.180 --> 01:58:21.340
he was on television yeah and then he had too
01:58:21.340 --> 01:58:24.560
much of himself on television yeah which i i
01:58:24.560 --> 01:58:28.060
know it's a joke that a lot of them were needlessly
01:58:28.060 --> 01:58:36.880
blurred At the same time. Sir. Short, short,
01:58:36.960 --> 01:58:44.020
short, short, shorts. So, I've got a few things
01:58:44.020 --> 01:58:47.800
that are vaguely related to this before we talk
01:58:47.800 --> 01:58:52.899
about the next cast. But, I believe series 20
01:58:52.899 --> 01:58:57.640
will be the final series filmed at Pinewood.
01:58:58.300 --> 01:59:01.119
yeah do we think they're going to do anything
01:59:01.119 --> 01:59:05.039
like to beyond the little animation that they've
01:59:05.039 --> 01:59:07.760
already posted on instagram but like on the show
01:59:07.760 --> 01:59:10.539
proper do you think they're going to acknowledge
01:59:10.539 --> 01:59:13.979
the move to television center i mean they might
01:59:13.979 --> 01:59:17.520
do i know that they had they at this at the episode
01:59:17.520 --> 01:59:23.420
10 taping of series 20 which amanda went to oh
01:59:23.420 --> 01:59:26.760
that's right yeah went to but Amanda was saying
01:59:26.760 --> 01:59:31.760
that they did a little speech about it at the
01:59:31.760 --> 01:59:33.020
end of the show. Yeah, and Alex got choked up.
01:59:33.899 --> 01:59:38.039
Yeah. So I'm not sure they might reference it.
01:59:38.180 --> 01:59:40.699
They might not. I don't know. We'll see, I guess.
01:59:43.399 --> 01:59:46.520
There's a lot of context here where it's just
01:59:46.520 --> 01:59:51.310
not really worth going into. but yeah like the
01:59:51.310 --> 01:59:53.270
long and short of it is this isn't their first
01:59:53.270 --> 01:59:55.770
studio but they have been at pinewood for a long
01:59:55.770 --> 02:00:01.270
time i think since like series six maybe even
02:00:01.270 --> 02:00:05.149
earlier than that so yeah like pine pinewood
02:00:05.149 --> 02:00:09.890
has been their home for a long time and television
02:00:09.890 --> 02:00:13.050
center has had some ups and downs but it looks
02:00:13.050 --> 02:00:15.920
like that's where they're moving everything back
02:00:15.920 --> 02:00:17.840
to which is good because you know like making
02:00:17.840 --> 02:00:24.100
people go out to slough for a filming like it's
02:00:24.100 --> 02:00:27.159
every time i hear people going out there like
02:00:27.159 --> 02:00:30.140
the transport situation is needlessly complicated
02:00:30.140 --> 02:00:33.340
right so being right in the middle of london
02:00:33.340 --> 02:00:38.319
where you can actually get to like i feel like
02:00:38.319 --> 02:00:40.880
that needed to happen a while ago It's unfortunate
02:00:40.880 --> 02:00:43.180
that it's happening under the circumstances that
02:00:43.180 --> 02:00:45.979
it is, which is, for those of you who don't know,
02:00:46.479 --> 02:00:49.899
Pinewood is going back to exclusively being a
02:00:49.899 --> 02:00:55.939
studio for film. And then this is another thing
02:00:55.939 --> 02:01:00.539
that's come up, is that someone on Instagram
02:01:00.539 --> 02:01:07.840
suggested to Stevie that she and Jason go on
02:01:07.840 --> 02:01:11.720
Big Fat Quiz together. And neither of them know
02:01:11.720 --> 02:01:14.539
what this show is, but they both want to do it.
02:01:14.579 --> 02:01:19.079
And apparently Stevie's manager doesn't like
02:01:19.079 --> 02:01:23.039
this idea. Yeah. And it's like, I don't know
02:01:23.039 --> 02:01:27.720
why. Because Big Fat Quiz is such a fucking event.
02:01:28.279 --> 02:01:32.539
And this team have already proven to be amazingly
02:01:32.539 --> 02:01:38.039
popular with panel show fans. I need them on
02:01:38.039 --> 02:01:42.079
the quiz. I need Jason being confronted with
02:01:42.079 --> 02:01:45.199
the fact that he doesn't know any of the news
02:01:45.199 --> 02:01:48.140
that they're talking about. And frankly, I don't
02:01:48.140 --> 02:01:53.180
think Stevie will either. Yeah. I needs it. Please.
02:01:53.279 --> 02:01:55.579
Yeah. I need, I need more of them together because
02:01:55.579 --> 02:01:58.720
they were such a good team. Let them go on the
02:01:58.720 --> 02:02:02.760
quiz together. Do it. It's one of the best moments.
02:02:04.000 --> 02:02:06.920
Of the year. And there's a reason why it's called
02:02:06.920 --> 02:02:09.680
the big fat quiz. Because people. It's enormous.
02:02:10.060 --> 02:02:17.720
It's a deal. Okay. Now let's get. On to what
02:02:17.720 --> 02:02:23.020
we know. About series 20. So it's been filmed.
02:02:23.039 --> 02:02:27.579
As we just mentioned. Our friend Amanda. Has
02:02:27.579 --> 02:02:32.710
gone to the taping. And. I think this is a testament
02:02:32.710 --> 02:02:39.989
to. To this show, like in general, like the fandom,
02:02:40.109 --> 02:02:43.270
the fact that we know that she went and that
02:02:43.270 --> 02:02:46.649
we do have information from that taping, but
02:02:46.649 --> 02:02:49.770
none of it was really spoilery. Like people are
02:02:49.770 --> 02:02:54.869
so good. And the fact that I had been under the
02:02:54.869 --> 02:03:00.350
impression. That the series 20. cast had leaked
02:03:00.350 --> 02:03:05.449
after filming because i'm fairly certain someone
02:03:05.449 --> 02:03:10.489
gave me a cast list yeah i i got a cast list
02:03:10.489 --> 02:03:16.369
but it wasn't but it wasn't these five oh was
02:03:16.369 --> 02:03:19.729
it not not the one that i got i think the one
02:03:19.729 --> 02:03:21.550
i got was these five and i was like yeah i don't
02:03:21.550 --> 02:03:28.989
know any because i got The list that I got, one
02:03:28.989 --> 02:03:31.369
of the Demetrius was on it. I can't remember
02:03:31.369 --> 02:03:35.729
which one. And that was the only name that I
02:03:35.729 --> 02:03:39.470
vaguely knew. And I was like, huh, interesting.
02:03:39.569 --> 02:03:42.050
So when I saw Maisie Adam pop up, I was like,
02:03:42.149 --> 02:03:46.010
oh, that's a surprise. And then Reese Shearsmith.
02:03:46.649 --> 02:03:50.050
And that was the moment I realized I had been
02:03:50.050 --> 02:03:53.550
given a bad list. Because I would have absolutely
02:03:53.550 --> 02:03:58.520
remembered Reese Shearsmith. Because he is Steve
02:03:58.520 --> 02:04:02.020
Pemberton's comedy partner. Okay. And he also
02:04:02.020 --> 02:04:06.319
doesn't really do panel shows. And to me, getting
02:04:06.319 --> 02:04:11.819
Reese Shearsmith on this, I think, signals a
02:04:11.819 --> 02:04:15.859
few things. One, it's not really seen as much
02:04:15.859 --> 02:04:19.739
of a panel show the way other ones are. And two,
02:04:19.859 --> 02:04:25.720
it has risen above being a panel show. That people
02:04:25.720 --> 02:04:28.300
who don't normally do these are coming on. Because,
02:04:28.359 --> 02:04:32.279
yeah, like, if you thought Steve was insane,
02:04:32.680 --> 02:04:40.920
holy shit. Like, Reese is mad. Absolutely bonkers.
02:04:41.140 --> 02:04:47.760
He was the one who had... There were two insane...
02:04:47.760 --> 02:04:50.659
I mean... all of legal gentlemen was to a degree
02:04:50.659 --> 02:04:53.500
controversial which was part of the point of
02:04:53.500 --> 02:04:57.380
league of gentlemen i would say that reese had
02:04:57.380 --> 02:05:02.020
the most controversial character which is a character
02:05:02.020 --> 02:05:05.159
called papa lazaru and go ahead and google that
02:05:05.159 --> 02:05:09.680
for me real quick because i cannot tell you in
02:05:09.680 --> 02:05:12.260
words why this character is controversial oh
02:05:12.260 --> 02:05:17.279
boy yes so he looks like he's in minstrel blackface
02:05:18.510 --> 02:05:23.069
The thing is, he's not. He's a demon. That's
02:05:23.069 --> 02:05:30.569
just what he looks like. And he's kind of in
02:05:30.569 --> 02:05:36.810
charge of this roaming circus that's just populated
02:05:36.810 --> 02:05:41.250
with people that are either themselves demons
02:05:41.250 --> 02:05:44.729
or people who have been kidnapped by them. And
02:05:44.729 --> 02:05:48.810
what he does is he... goes into town wearing
02:05:48.810 --> 02:05:51.729
the disguise of, you know, someone who looks
02:05:51.729 --> 02:05:55.310
like Reese Shearsmith. So he puts makeup on over
02:05:55.310 --> 02:06:00.310
what appears to be, you know, minstrel blackface.
02:06:01.390 --> 02:06:04.869
And, like, it's a very shocking character. And,
02:06:04.890 --> 02:06:07.829
like, there are people who fucking hate Papa
02:06:07.829 --> 02:06:13.210
Lazarus. Mm -hmm. I can see that. I can see how
02:06:13.210 --> 02:06:17.949
that would work. It's something. But holy shit,
02:06:18.149 --> 02:06:22.470
like, it's one of his best characters. He has
02:06:22.470 --> 02:06:26.569
some of the most recognizable lines. Whereas
02:06:26.569 --> 02:06:30.289
Steve Pemberton's most controversial character,
02:06:30.430 --> 02:06:33.609
I believe, I don't think it's unfair to say this,
02:06:33.689 --> 02:06:39.689
was Barbara, who... I can't remember the language
02:06:39.689 --> 02:06:43.609
that was used, but it's an old enough show that
02:06:43.609 --> 02:06:47.310
transvestite would have been... more the more
02:06:47.310 --> 02:06:50.229
common vernacular so basically she's a trans
02:06:50.229 --> 02:06:53.609
woman she's very out about the fact she's trans
02:06:53.609 --> 02:06:56.729
to the point that she just gives too much information
02:06:56.729 --> 02:06:59.850
she forgets that when you're in your taxi driving
02:06:59.850 --> 02:07:03.750
someone around you you can't really talk about
02:07:03.750 --> 02:07:06.109
how you're starting to lose sensation in your
02:07:06.109 --> 02:07:10.989
balls i mean not with that attitude You can do
02:07:10.989 --> 02:07:13.989
whatever you want. People really hate Barbara
02:07:13.989 --> 02:07:17.329
as well because, yeah, she's very in your face.
02:07:17.609 --> 02:07:21.829
And she goes through her surgical transition
02:07:21.829 --> 02:07:26.489
throughout the course of the show. And, again,
02:07:26.630 --> 02:07:29.250
people fucking love her or hate her. I adore
02:07:29.250 --> 02:07:33.109
Barbara just because she gives no fucks. And
02:07:33.109 --> 02:07:35.770
the thing that I really love about her is that
02:07:35.770 --> 02:07:41.119
the locals of Royston Vasey, nobody gives any
02:07:41.119 --> 02:07:47.239
fucks either that is barbara like everyone acknowledges
02:07:47.239 --> 02:07:49.720
that she's barbara she's a woman it doesn't matter
02:07:49.720 --> 02:07:53.020
whether she's pre or post -op that's just you
02:07:53.020 --> 02:07:57.000
know how things are and i if i'm remembering
02:07:57.000 --> 02:08:02.920
this right her surgeon cancels last minute and
02:08:02.920 --> 02:08:08.630
this is like the big joke is that It's implied
02:08:08.630 --> 02:08:12.189
that her surgery is botched because the person
02:08:12.189 --> 02:08:19.270
who replaces it is a veterinarian who has a bloodline
02:08:19.270 --> 02:08:27.590
curse. League of Gentlemen is psychological horror
02:08:27.590 --> 02:08:32.779
comedy. It's really good. So, yeah, like, that's
02:08:32.779 --> 02:08:35.840
kind of the big punchline. And it's not even
02:08:35.840 --> 02:08:39.659
about her being trans. It's about the situation
02:08:39.659 --> 02:08:45.739
that she's being subjected to being under the
02:08:45.739 --> 02:08:50.460
knife of Mr. Chinnery, who, holy shit. I mean,
02:08:50.479 --> 02:08:53.960
this is a character that causes massive giraffe
02:08:53.960 --> 02:08:58.170
spunk. At one point, just spraying all over a
02:08:58.170 --> 02:09:04.409
group of people. It's a show. Okay. Yeah. And
02:09:04.409 --> 02:09:07.569
then I haven't, unfortunately, really watched
02:09:07.569 --> 02:09:11.569
Psychoville or Inside No. 9. But they also did
02:09:11.569 --> 02:09:15.350
those together. And, like, they're on the same
02:09:15.350 --> 02:09:20.069
level. So, yeah. Get ready. Should be interesting.
02:09:20.409 --> 02:09:24.800
Oh, it's gonna be fun. And then... I know I've
02:09:24.800 --> 02:09:27.880
heard of Phil Ellis. I can't think of where I've
02:09:27.880 --> 02:09:32.560
seen him. I know I've seen Sanjeev Bhaskar on
02:09:32.560 --> 02:09:36.300
a few of the other panel shows. And I don't know
02:09:36.300 --> 02:09:42.460
who Anya Magliano is. Yeah, I don't know any
02:09:42.460 --> 02:09:47.380
of them. Yep. So, should be good. Maisie Adam
02:09:47.380 --> 02:09:51.380
is fucking insane as well. I did listen to Maisie's
02:09:52.010 --> 02:09:56.770
episode on off menu because i listened to all
02:09:56.770 --> 02:10:00.069
of off menu and i was like oh okay she seems
02:10:00.069 --> 02:10:04.770
fun she's on qi a lot i can't remember if she
02:10:04.770 --> 02:10:12.289
was on last one laughing um basically the most
02:10:12.289 --> 02:10:14.850
recognizable feature about her is that she has
02:10:14.850 --> 02:10:21.319
bad haircuts and For a long time, it was completely
02:10:21.319 --> 02:10:25.119
shaved, except for the fringe and, like, some
02:10:25.119 --> 02:10:30.060
bits around her ears. And now it just looks like
02:10:30.060 --> 02:10:34.180
she let a three -year -old do it. But, like,
02:10:34.180 --> 02:10:36.560
that's her whole thing. Bad haircuts, and I love
02:10:36.560 --> 02:10:41.720
it. She doesn't care. It's fantastic. Oh, my
02:10:41.720 --> 02:10:45.380
God, these explosions. They can go away. Yeah.
02:10:45.479 --> 02:10:54.189
So it looks like... So it looks like one contestant
02:10:54.189 --> 02:10:59.010
is in their 20s, which is Anya. Maisie Adam is
02:10:59.010 --> 02:11:04.029
in her 30s. Phil Ellison is in his 40s. Reese
02:11:04.029 --> 02:11:09.670
is in his 50s. And Sanjeev is in his 60s. So
02:11:09.670 --> 02:11:12.789
that's funny that their ages even correspond
02:11:12.789 --> 02:11:16.869
with their order on the lineup. Interesting.
02:11:16.869 --> 02:11:19.399
Yeah. And then we have Alex in the portrait.
02:11:21.399 --> 02:11:25.359
Which... That was amazing. I can't believe it
02:11:25.359 --> 02:11:29.100
took 20... It took 20 series for him to show
02:11:29.100 --> 02:11:35.720
up in a portrait. And... Where is it? Queer Old
02:11:35.720 --> 02:11:41.039
Dad on Tumblr did an American Gothic of Greg
02:11:41.039 --> 02:11:47.170
and Alex before we got the reveal. of the picture
02:11:47.170 --> 02:11:55.409
so that's we were like that meme like pointing
02:11:55.409 --> 02:12:00.989
like oh my friend did this first i mean not not
02:12:00.989 --> 02:12:03.569
technically because the painting would have been
02:12:03.569 --> 02:12:06.970
commissioned beforehand but we didn't know about
02:12:06.970 --> 02:12:10.369
it until now so that's exciting so go check out
02:12:10.369 --> 02:12:13.770
their art because it's really good love it love
02:12:13.770 --> 02:12:17.390
it love it love it love it yes Now, we have had
02:12:17.390 --> 02:12:21.210
some requests to go back to the very beginning
02:12:21.210 --> 02:12:28.069
and do recaps of Taskmaster. Well, I think now
02:12:28.069 --> 02:12:29.789
that we're streaming them, that's a lot more
02:12:29.789 --> 02:12:33.909
feasible. Well, yes. But just so people know,
02:12:34.090 --> 02:12:36.689
it might not happen because I'm still moving
02:12:36.689 --> 02:12:41.010
into this and we're both very tired. Yes. There
02:12:41.010 --> 02:12:45.619
may be a small break in the schedule. Yeah, and
02:12:45.619 --> 02:12:50.840
I'm also going to Poland on the 20th until August.
02:12:51.159 --> 02:12:56.000
So what we're probably going to do is take ourselves
02:12:56.000 --> 02:12:59.680
a couple weeks off so that we can get everything
02:12:59.680 --> 02:13:06.880
squared away. Because, like, I think people in
02:13:06.880 --> 02:13:11.380
the chat know this. I have been not in a good
02:13:11.380 --> 02:13:15.470
place lately. Like, my depression has been kicking
02:13:15.470 --> 02:13:19.069
my ass. Like, bipolar. Zero out of ten. Don't
02:13:19.069 --> 02:13:24.329
recommend. And we've had some life events within
02:13:24.329 --> 02:13:28.670
the team. Nothing bad, actually. A lot of good
02:13:28.670 --> 02:13:32.630
life events, I think. Maybe I won't say nothing
02:13:32.630 --> 02:13:36.510
bad, but mostly good life events. So, we've had
02:13:36.510 --> 02:13:41.399
some restructuring in... who's active on the
02:13:41.399 --> 02:13:43.699
team and who's doing what roles. So we need to
02:13:43.699 --> 02:13:47.420
take some time off to get everything just smoothed
02:13:47.420 --> 02:13:50.000
out and organized. And with the end of Series
02:13:50.000 --> 02:13:52.260
19, this feels like a good place to do it. So
02:13:52.260 --> 02:13:56.880
we'll probably be back a couple weeks, maybe
02:13:56.880 --> 02:13:58.920
a month, but we've got some excellent things
02:13:58.920 --> 02:14:03.979
coming up. We have... Well, we've got the Andes
02:14:03.979 --> 02:14:07.590
coming up. Yep, we've got the Andes, we've got
02:14:07.590 --> 02:14:10.909
Jack Bernhardt, we've got Ben Reynolds. Yeah.
02:14:11.510 --> 02:14:16.869
And then, let me see, we have... This might fuck
02:14:16.869 --> 02:14:21.270
up. You might be black for a second. That's fine.
02:14:24.949 --> 02:14:27.130
Okay, and then the other one, we just haven't
02:14:27.130 --> 02:14:31.029
got a date, so we won't mention that just yet.
02:14:33.609 --> 02:14:35.850
But there's, yeah, there's some cool stuff coming
02:14:35.850 --> 02:14:38.189
up. And we want to make sure that everything
02:14:38.189 --> 02:14:44.149
is going out as well, as best as it could. I
02:14:44.149 --> 02:14:47.689
unfortunately didn't notice because I did last
02:14:47.689 --> 02:14:51.949
week's episode on like three hours of sleep after
02:14:51.949 --> 02:14:55.270
not sleeping all week. It was horrible. And I
02:14:55.270 --> 02:14:57.529
didn't, I completely forgot to do the intros
02:14:57.529 --> 02:14:59.510
and outros and to fix the music. So I apologize
02:14:59.510 --> 02:15:03.960
for that. We need some sleep. We sure do. Yeah,
02:15:03.979 --> 02:15:08.960
so a little bit of a break, but we're not going
02:15:08.960 --> 02:15:12.600
away for very long. We just need to get everyone
02:15:12.600 --> 02:15:15.000
back on the same page and get everyone rested
02:15:15.000 --> 02:15:18.560
because it's a lot of work. It is a lot of work.
02:15:19.060 --> 02:15:23.359
So much work. But we will be back very shortly
02:15:23.359 --> 02:15:27.909
with some really good stuff on the horizon. Thank
02:15:27.909 --> 02:15:30.369
you for your support. Thank you for watching.
02:15:30.449 --> 02:15:33.369
Don't forget to check out our Patreon where we
02:15:33.369 --> 02:15:37.829
have posts for you to submit questions for the
02:15:37.829 --> 02:15:41.630
Q &As. We do want to release these more wide
02:15:41.630 --> 02:15:45.770
to people on our social media, but we need to
02:15:45.770 --> 02:15:49.729
hammer out our social media strategy a bit better
02:15:49.729 --> 02:15:54.250
than what we've got now because it's hard. And
02:15:54.250 --> 02:15:57.760
we're learning. We're learning as we go. Yep.
02:15:57.899 --> 02:16:02.020
Anyway. It's been a long time. I'm tired. You're
02:16:02.020 --> 02:16:05.159
probably tired. Yep. Take care of yourselves.
02:16:05.539 --> 02:16:07.199
Bye. Bye.
00:00:55.340 --> 00:01:01.799
It's the actual one. I can't believe I found
00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:05.260
this thing for five bucks at a local antique
00:01:05.260 --> 00:01:08.000
shop. I think that's the best one I've found.
00:01:08.939 --> 00:01:12.680
It's very impressive. He does spin. I think there's
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:16.060
supposed to be a ball here. Oh, that makes sense.
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:19.480
There's supposed to be a ball here. Incorrect.
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:21.640
There's supposed to be a sausage there. Yes,
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:25.299
well, there's a cheese here for now. Okay, that's
00:01:25.299 --> 00:01:32.579
close enough, I guess. It really goes. Man. I
00:01:32.579 --> 00:01:34.319
can't put it down now until it stops or it's
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:38.799
going to go away. I love it. That's fun. I know.
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.980
That is fun. He's so cool. So we've got now an
00:01:42.980 --> 00:01:50.519
elephant. Anyway, Series 19. Let's get rid of
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:53.079
Reddit because it's eating up all of my fans.
00:01:53.900 --> 00:01:57.319
whatever reddit does is this our first debrief
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:02.980
in my new place or no um second one i think it's
00:02:02.980 --> 00:02:07.040
the second one yeah we now have a couch it's
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.659
a lovely looking couch we still have zero art
00:02:10.659 --> 00:02:12.719
on the walls because that's my job and i have
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:18.759
been exhausted i mean fucking mood man yeah uh
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:23.430
before we start i don't know if you Oh my gosh.
00:02:25.110 --> 00:02:30.310
I don't know if you watched Ed's podcast with
00:02:30.310 --> 00:02:36.550
Matt. I did as soon as I woke up. Did something
00:02:36.550 --> 00:02:45.310
bug you about that video? I don't know. Like
00:02:45.310 --> 00:02:51.569
something did seem a bit odd. I couldn't tell
00:02:51.569 --> 00:02:54.250
if that was just because I was tired. What was
00:02:54.250 --> 00:02:57.530
it? I'll tell you what it was. It was, there's
00:02:57.530 --> 00:03:03.009
a discrepancy between when the camera shows them
00:03:03.009 --> 00:03:08.150
talking regularly, the door is closed. When it
00:03:08.150 --> 00:03:10.689
is a top -down perspective, the door is open.
00:03:12.030 --> 00:03:14.830
Oops. And it's one of those things where once
00:03:14.830 --> 00:03:16.930
I saw it, I couldn't unsee it, and I was like,
00:03:16.969 --> 00:03:20.180
what is happening? Like, what? fresh hell of
00:03:20.180 --> 00:03:23.719
editing are they doing here where because i can't
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:27.080
tell whether they had the door open or closed
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:32.319
for the actual interview but from the top down
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:36.919
perspective the door is open so i'm like what's
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.819
happening is the door actually open is it closed
00:03:39.819 --> 00:03:43.780
schrodinger's caravan maybe what's happening
00:03:43.780 --> 00:03:46.560
maybe they did what we did a couple weeks ago,
00:03:46.659 --> 00:03:48.599
and completely fucked up their recording and
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:52.240
had to do it again. But, like, but you can see
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:57.580
their lips moving to the same... Yeah, I don't,
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:01.340
I didn't, I was so tired, I literally, my husband
00:04:01.340 --> 00:04:03.639
woke me up, he said, it's two o 'clock, get out
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:07.180
of bed. So, I stumbled out into the front room
00:04:07.180 --> 00:04:14.800
and watched that, and then, now we're here. Mm
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:24.300
-hmm. Well. Well. Let's talk about. Episode 10.
00:04:24.379 --> 00:04:27.860
The Clever Song. Episode 10. And I just looked
00:04:27.860 --> 00:04:32.959
up what the lineup for Champion of Champion of
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:35.600
Champions is going to look like. And holy white
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:39.540
men, Batman. I know. Because we've got Sam Campbell.
00:04:40.259 --> 00:04:47.360
We've got John Robbins. Andy Zaltzman. matt baiton
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:51.420
and like don't get me wrong i love all of them
00:04:51.420 --> 00:04:59.399
but this is a lot we'll get on to the task we'll
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:04.920
get on to the series 20 task because i have something
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:11.300
cast yes sorry i i just woke up like a couple
00:05:11.300 --> 00:05:14.569
hours ago But yeah, I have subtitled my notes
00:05:14.569 --> 00:05:17.430
for this week. Where did the time go? Because
00:05:17.430 --> 00:05:19.430
how in the hell has it already been 10 weeks?
00:05:19.589 --> 00:05:25.269
I can't believe it's over. What a journey we've
00:05:25.269 --> 00:05:33.050
been on. I know. Oh my goodness. Also, apologies
00:05:33.050 --> 00:05:37.769
to any viewers right now. I don't know how things
00:05:37.769 --> 00:05:41.259
are. are where you are uh the rednecks where
00:05:41.259 --> 00:05:46.939
i am have been going for three days so apologies
00:05:46.939 --> 00:05:52.319
for any explosions that come through also my
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:54.660
tummy is legitimately very well this morning
00:05:54.660 --> 00:05:57.360
so we'll see how long it goes before i have to
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.439
run away i forgot that it was the fourth of july
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:02.699
this morning so i was driving into work and i'm
00:06:02.699 --> 00:06:06.120
like there's no cars On the highway. What's happening?
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:10.819
And I was like, oh, right. It's a national holiday.
00:06:11.500 --> 00:06:15.579
That doesn't feel like it. I have to admit. Man,
00:06:15.660 --> 00:06:19.279
never have I been less proud to be an American,
00:06:19.379 --> 00:06:22.040
and that's saying a lot, because I've never been
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:26.819
proud to be an American. I mean, my name and
00:06:26.819 --> 00:06:28.939
gender change has been sitting in the court system
00:06:28.939 --> 00:06:33.519
since October. Fucking hell. It's just not gonna
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:36.579
happen at this point. Like, earlier, one of my
00:06:36.579 --> 00:06:40.939
neighbors was blasting Seegers on the road again.
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:46.339
Which, like, great tune. Solid tune. I don't
00:06:46.339 --> 00:06:48.139
want to hear your music today. I'm not in the
00:06:48.139 --> 00:06:53.439
mood. No. So, we have a nice little distraction.
00:06:54.519 --> 00:07:01.379
Yeah, let's talk about the final episode. Of
00:07:01.379 --> 00:07:06.879
Series 19. And right off the bat, I've got a
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:14.699
bone to pick with it. Oh? It's so small and so
00:07:14.699 --> 00:07:16.920
minor, but it's the things that stick out to
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:20.600
me. Because the very first thing Greg says about
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:26.430
Alex, and... Honestly, he was - The winning the
00:07:26.430 --> 00:07:28.810
bed thing? Yeah, honestly, he was fighting for
00:07:28.810 --> 00:07:31.389
his life the entire intro this week. That was
00:07:31.389 --> 00:07:33.889
so - I love when he does that. I love when he
00:07:33.889 --> 00:07:38.029
just has to pause and is like - We've done this
00:07:38.029 --> 00:07:40.529
eight times, I'm not allowed to restart again.
00:07:41.290 --> 00:07:45.089
Yeah. But - Yeah, tears every night when he wets
00:07:45.089 --> 00:07:46.889
the bed. And that's the thing that bothers me,
00:07:46.930 --> 00:07:49.230
because later Alex says he doesn't know how to
00:07:49.230 --> 00:07:54.189
cry. Right. Which - Well, maybe Greg was talking
00:07:54.189 --> 00:07:58.029
about a different type of tears. Oh, God. But
00:07:58.029 --> 00:08:00.569
I love that because it shows they really don't
00:08:00.569 --> 00:08:03.009
coordinate at all what they're going to say to
00:08:03.009 --> 00:08:07.149
or about one another. Yeah. So, yeah. Alex wets
00:08:07.149 --> 00:08:09.970
the bed, which I feel like we already knew that.
00:08:10.509 --> 00:08:16.009
Yeah. Seems about right. And can we talk about
00:08:16.009 --> 00:08:19.740
Matt's... Oh my god, his tiny little shorts.
00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:22.759
Before we talk about his outfit, which I was
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:28.779
obsessed with, I miss the days when the cast
00:08:28.779 --> 00:08:31.620
would coordinate matching outfits for the finale.
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.399
I miss those days. It happened like two or three
00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:39.379
times. So for this one, it's... Yeah, but once
00:08:39.379 --> 00:08:43.740
you do it, it's just so good. You can't unsee
00:08:43.740 --> 00:08:46.399
it. So we've got Jason in his regular... I see
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:49.360
it the other way. I like that it's a little treat
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.539
that every now and then a cast decides to do
00:08:52.539 --> 00:08:54.940
that. But let's be real. Jason wasn't going to
00:08:54.940 --> 00:08:58.100
change his clothes. He owns one entire outfit,
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:02.179
and he just wears it every day. Yeah, he is a
00:09:02.179 --> 00:09:05.519
cartoon character. Says the cartoon character.
00:09:08.100 --> 00:09:13.399
I mean, we've got Fatihah looking exquisitely
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.960
gorgeous as always. We've got Jason in his regular
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:20.080
outfit. We've got Matt wearing whatever the fuck
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:22.820
that was. I mean, I was obsessed with it. I loved
00:09:22.820 --> 00:09:26.039
it. Stevie's prize task was so good. Because
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:28.379
it's just like she was sitting there in a jumper.
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.059
I did not see that. I know. Yeah, I didn't see
00:09:30.059 --> 00:09:32.879
that coming. Well, and it was funny because...
00:09:33.309 --> 00:09:36.490
I forget where we heard this from, but Jason
00:09:36.490 --> 00:09:39.610
was really, really sick for the last two episodes.
00:09:39.909 --> 00:09:42.509
Oh, you could hear it, especially when he was
00:09:42.509 --> 00:09:45.950
presenting his prize task. Yeah, and so he had,
00:09:46.110 --> 00:09:48.529
like, what, a stomach bug or something? A food
00:09:48.529 --> 00:09:51.429
poisoning is, I think, what I heard. Yeah, and
00:09:51.429 --> 00:09:55.850
you can see it when you rewatch the live team
00:09:55.850 --> 00:10:00.769
tasks that Stevie specifically, like, does not
00:10:00.769 --> 00:10:04.210
celebrate. Because she wants to make sure that
00:10:04.210 --> 00:10:07.250
Jason is okay. And I actually did see that when
00:10:07.250 --> 00:10:11.049
I watched the last episode back. Episode 9 back.
00:10:11.269 --> 00:10:14.789
Because, like, of course Jason's like, yeah!
00:10:14.990 --> 00:10:17.970
And Stevie's like, high five! And then he goes
00:10:17.970 --> 00:10:21.929
up on stage and just smashes shit anyway. Yeah,
00:10:21.950 --> 00:10:26.789
that must have really sucked. Any kind of, like,
00:10:26.809 --> 00:10:30.659
nausea type pain, in my opinion. Like, the worst
00:10:30.659 --> 00:10:35.159
type of pain to be in. Like, I've got IBS, and
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:38.320
that ruins your day. And you don't even particularly
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:42.620
feel nasty. You're just not at your peak, really.
00:10:42.820 --> 00:10:45.419
I don't want to be doing anything. Your stomach
00:10:45.419 --> 00:10:49.299
hurts, and you're tied to a single room. I can't
00:10:49.299 --> 00:10:51.700
imagine doing anything like that with food poisoning.
00:10:51.899 --> 00:10:54.139
I also don't think I've ever had food poisoning
00:10:54.139 --> 00:10:57.779
in my life. Oh, I definitely have. It's not fun.
00:10:59.309 --> 00:11:02.850
i i've got one of those college student iron
00:11:02.850 --> 00:11:09.029
stomachs i think perk of growing up poor rosie's
00:11:09.029 --> 00:11:12.850
yeah rosie's outfit i liked very sparkly and
00:11:12.850 --> 00:11:14.990
then when she had to go up on stage for the live
00:11:14.990 --> 00:11:18.710
task she took her heels off and she was like
00:11:18.710 --> 00:11:21.990
squirming around in her short little dress or
00:11:21.990 --> 00:11:24.710
her little skirt and i'm like oh my gosh yeah
00:11:24.710 --> 00:11:27.309
i love like i get i get that you want to like
00:11:27.309 --> 00:11:30.250
be oh stevie's was gorgeous i was even looking
00:11:30.250 --> 00:11:33.149
for it and it's like no you genuinely can't tell
00:11:33.149 --> 00:11:35.610
it just looks like she's wearing a big bulky
00:11:35.610 --> 00:11:39.730
jumper which to metagame that we know that the
00:11:39.730 --> 00:11:45.429
studio is always an icebox yeah but yeah her
00:11:45.429 --> 00:11:49.399
her prize task was really good And then before
00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:53.940
we get to the prize task, we got to talk about
00:11:53.940 --> 00:11:58.139
renewing their vows, which is a completely normal
00:11:58.139 --> 00:12:02.279
thing to do. Even before that, Greg says that
00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:05.039
Alex thinks that Rachel's stories are boring.
00:12:05.259 --> 00:12:09.519
That was so funny. I can't believe he name dropped
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:12.340
her. He's only done it a few times and it's always
00:12:12.340 --> 00:12:16.480
horrible. Oh my gosh, it's so funny. I loved
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:21.470
that. his wife rachel i was like i mean excuse
00:12:21.470 --> 00:12:24.389
me and when he does that like this one especially
00:12:24.389 --> 00:12:28.070
it raised three questions for me one if this
00:12:28.070 --> 00:12:32.389
isn't playing shit up for the audience then what
00:12:32.389 --> 00:12:37.789
the fuck is it Two, what must Rachel think of
00:12:37.789 --> 00:12:40.789
these intros where she's inserted into them?
00:12:41.070 --> 00:12:44.690
I hope she thinks they're hilarious. And three,
00:12:44.769 --> 00:12:48.169
yeah, was Greg warned about the wedding vows
00:12:48.169 --> 00:12:53.169
Alex got off the internet? So funny. I mean,
00:12:53.169 --> 00:12:56.049
he must not have been. Yeah, he completely goes
00:12:56.049 --> 00:12:58.330
along with it, which I love. I mean, he's like,
00:12:58.470 --> 00:13:00.990
just give me the next one. Give me the next one.
00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:06.379
The renewing of the wedding vows goes like this.
00:13:06.860 --> 00:13:09.980
I, Alex Horn, solemnly swear to protect you till
00:13:09.980 --> 00:13:14.220
the day one of us is dead. The end. I mean, we
00:13:14.220 --> 00:13:18.039
already knew that, Alex. And then we have...
00:13:18.220 --> 00:13:20.919
I, Greg Davis, do solemnly swear to express my
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:23.620
respect and admiration for you as often as I
00:13:23.620 --> 00:13:26.879
breathe each breath. From today onward, you and
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:30.159
I will be one in heart, body, and mind. You are
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:33.200
my sunrise and sunset, and my day starts and
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.700
ends with you. I'm the luckiest person alive
00:13:35.700 --> 00:13:38.019
to be standing with you today and to be facing
00:13:38.019 --> 00:13:41.059
life with you every day. Let us build a home,
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:44.340
a life, and a family from these bonds and promise
00:13:44.340 --> 00:13:46.700
to stick together through all life's challenges.
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:49.820
And then, for some reason, a Backstreet Boys
00:13:49.820 --> 00:13:53.000
lyric, you are my fire, my one desire, and that's
00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:56.820
fucking the end of the vows. So I have some notes
00:13:56.820 --> 00:14:03.299
on this. I forget who, I apologize. Someone found
00:14:03.299 --> 00:14:05.860
these vows on the internet. So this clown just
00:14:05.860 --> 00:14:08.779
went onto the internet and found some vows. Yeah,
00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:14.240
it was our anonymous writer friend. Okay, yeah.
00:14:14.259 --> 00:14:17.879
Pointed that out. And I hate to do it so early,
00:14:18.059 --> 00:14:22.340
I have to run away. Okay. Sorry. No, you're good.
00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:29.620
I'll just talk about... I'll vamp. I guess. Alright,
00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:34.600
so... We got those vows. I should probably keep
00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:37.000
these up so that I can write a fic with them
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:43.059
in it or something, I don't know. We do have
00:14:43.059 --> 00:14:49.690
in... A later task, we already have a fic up
00:14:49.690 --> 00:14:58.470
by, let me find it, by P. Willie, and it's called
00:14:58.470 --> 00:15:05.429
I Need You, but it's K -N -E -E hyphen D. And
00:15:05.429 --> 00:15:10.110
it's Alex demonstrates how good he is at staying
00:15:10.110 --> 00:15:15.450
still on his knees for ten minutes. So that,
00:15:15.610 --> 00:15:24.870
I think, was the first... Nope. Anonymous...
00:15:24.870 --> 00:15:27.669
Oh, yeah, that's right. The Wedding Vows thing
00:15:27.669 --> 00:15:36.169
has been fic by one of our wonderful anonymous
00:15:36.169 --> 00:15:41.490
writers. It's called Believe When I Say. So go
00:15:41.490 --> 00:15:47.019
check that out. And I'm looking right now on
00:15:47.019 --> 00:15:58.899
AO3 for anything that is more of this episode.
00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:04.019
I think that's it for now. And also, completely
00:16:04.019 --> 00:16:08.279
unrelated, but because I have this page open,
00:16:08.539 --> 00:16:13.500
go check out Illuminescence. on AO3, because
00:16:13.500 --> 00:16:20.940
they just posted a zine? Is that how you pronounce
00:16:20.940 --> 00:16:27.299
it? A zine? And it is a Latin Taskmaster zine,
00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:29.220
and it's really, really, really, really good,
00:16:29.299 --> 00:16:32.600
and it's super impressive. So go check that out,
00:16:32.620 --> 00:16:39.250
because it's amazing. It's like the entire thing
00:16:39.250 --> 00:16:44.710
is in Latin, and then it also has... What's it
00:16:44.710 --> 00:16:50.590
called? It has... Translations is the word that
00:16:50.590 --> 00:16:53.649
I was looking for. So yeah, go check that out.
00:16:54.450 --> 00:16:57.570
I have also... Well, 2 ,000 hits, that's a lot.
00:16:58.450 --> 00:17:03.850
I guess, okay. Anyway, I just finished my clone
00:17:03.850 --> 00:17:07.599
fic that I've been... writing 24 chapters, 12
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:11.200
,000 words. It's called An Average Day for an
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:15.819
Alex Clone, based on the clone theory that Alex
00:17:15.819 --> 00:17:19.539
has a bunch of clones, so that's exciting. I
00:17:19.539 --> 00:17:24.400
will be, over the course of the next couple of
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:29.400
days, be posting a couple of fics that are just
00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:39.109
like, based on my visceral reactions of um of
00:17:39.109 --> 00:17:43.430
like feeling that this fandom has been very well
00:17:43.430 --> 00:17:46.650
fed recently uh especially during this series
00:17:46.650 --> 00:17:51.049
so be on the lookout for those and then i'll
00:17:51.049 --> 00:17:54.910
be posting what will be my longest fic yet over
00:17:54.910 --> 00:17:59.269
the course of 37 days i think that's how many
00:17:59.269 --> 00:18:04.670
chapters i have um 23 ,000 words, so that's exciting.
00:18:04.890 --> 00:18:10.529
So keep an eye out for that. But anyway... Where
00:18:10.529 --> 00:18:20.529
are my notes? Yeah, so that's a thing. I, as
00:18:20.529 --> 00:18:23.730
you can tell if you're watching this on video,
00:18:24.009 --> 00:18:28.890
recently just moved into a new apartment and
00:18:28.890 --> 00:18:32.940
we... have done everything, we've unpacked everything
00:18:32.940 --> 00:18:35.519
except for all of the art that we need to put
00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:39.500
up on the walls. And we have a lot. And I have
00:18:39.500 --> 00:18:44.819
slowly been making progress on getting the art
00:18:44.819 --> 00:18:47.960
ready to put up on the walls. So yesterday I
00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:51.759
spent my entire afternoon and evening before
00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:59.559
bed making a cork board. With all of my pins
00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:02.059
that I have, because I have a lot of pins, and
00:19:02.059 --> 00:19:05.440
then putting some art on that. And that took
00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:10.220
a long time. And then I used to wear a lot of
00:19:10.220 --> 00:19:14.539
friendship bracelets on my wrist. It's like a
00:19:14.539 --> 00:19:18.819
thing that started in 2009 when I was at camp.
00:19:19.559 --> 00:19:23.259
And it just got to the point where I just had
00:19:23.259 --> 00:19:26.970
at least one friendship bracelet on. my wrist
00:19:26.970 --> 00:19:30.970
at all times like ever since 2009 like to this
00:19:30.970 --> 00:19:35.789
day i've only ever taken them off two times i
00:19:35.789 --> 00:19:40.029
think or three times like for surgeries so uh
00:19:40.029 --> 00:19:44.150
i have kept a lot of my old friendship bracelets
00:19:44.150 --> 00:19:47.769
that had since fallen off or that i don't wear
00:19:47.769 --> 00:19:51.069
anymore and so i was like i want to display these
00:19:51.069 --> 00:19:56.529
somehow so i finally got like a needle and thread
00:19:56.529 --> 00:20:00.410
and just like sewed into the tops of all the
00:20:00.410 --> 00:20:03.089
bracelets so now i have like a really weird looking
00:20:03.089 --> 00:20:09.450
bracelet thing i don't even know what to call
00:20:09.450 --> 00:20:13.029
it a string i guess so that took me all night
00:20:13.029 --> 00:20:16.670
and i think today i'll probably try to do my
00:20:16.670 --> 00:20:20.930
taskmaster one because i got a giant frame that
00:20:20.930 --> 00:20:24.640
i just want to put all of my taskmaster art and
00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:31.579
postcards into. So that will be exciting. But
00:20:31.579 --> 00:20:37.319
anyway, let's get back to our regularly scheduled
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:40.539
program. Yes, sorry about that. In which... It's
00:20:40.539 --> 00:20:43.119
ridiculously hot in my office and that's a weird
00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:48.180
trigger. Yeah. No, that's real. Yeah, so Alex
00:20:48.180 --> 00:20:52.700
had four parts of his joke as if he's never heard
00:20:52.700 --> 00:20:56.380
of comedy. Mm -hmm. Which, you know, that in
00:20:56.380 --> 00:21:02.579
and of itself was the joke. Yep. And Greg knew
00:21:02.579 --> 00:21:04.660
he was going to have another part. Yeah. He's
00:21:04.660 --> 00:21:07.500
like, yeah, I know. The rule of four. Alex was
00:21:07.500 --> 00:21:10.059
like giggling. He's like, rules of four? I'm
00:21:10.059 --> 00:21:12.779
like, shut the fuck up. And then I totally missed
00:21:12.779 --> 00:21:15.039
the double take until Amanda pointed it out to
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:20.559
me. I was ready for it because in that leaked...
00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:25.180
um outtakes video yeah i saw like doing that
00:21:25.180 --> 00:21:29.480
so when they said like double take i was ready
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:32.359
for it i was honed in and i saw it and i was
00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:37.319
like yes let's go yeah i totally and i like i
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:41.380
uh i like went i paused it and i went back when
00:21:41.380 --> 00:21:44.759
i re -watched it with my partner and he was like
00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:53.779
what What is this dynamic? I mean, so there's
00:21:53.779 --> 00:21:58.920
a photo that's been going around recently where
00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:01.539
Alex and Greg are just in their street clothes,
00:22:01.740 --> 00:22:05.759
sitting in the thrones. And my just immediate
00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:09.900
reaction to that is, who are these nerds? And
00:22:09.900 --> 00:22:12.099
they better move before the taskmaster finds
00:22:12.099 --> 00:22:14.640
them because he's going to be pissed. And then
00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:18.250
they do that. That was even worse. My mind is
00:22:18.250 --> 00:22:21.369
rejecting that more than it was rejecting that
00:22:21.369 --> 00:22:26.589
behind -the -scenes photo. Yep. But I think I
00:22:26.589 --> 00:22:28.349
was still reeling from whatever the hell the
00:22:28.349 --> 00:22:30.450
wedding vows were, and then they just throw that
00:22:30.450 --> 00:22:35.049
at you, and it may be a second on screen. Yeah.
00:22:36.970 --> 00:22:40.069
And then... Okay, I just found out that there
00:22:40.069 --> 00:22:43.630
is already a fic. with the wedding that was in
00:22:43.630 --> 00:22:46.529
it so go read that it's by one of our anonymous
00:22:46.529 --> 00:22:48.930
writers i already named dropped the fic earlier
00:22:48.930 --> 00:22:51.809
so go check that out but yeah the the body swap
00:22:51.809 --> 00:22:55.289
double take i was so excited for that and i can't
00:22:55.289 --> 00:22:58.069
wait to watch the out the like outtakes when
00:22:58.069 --> 00:23:02.569
they post them uh for real i know right because
00:23:02.569 --> 00:23:04.849
they were both like really uncomfortable well
00:23:04.849 --> 00:23:07.329
i think greg was more uncomfortable with it well
00:23:07.329 --> 00:23:11.089
i love like my favorite but i also like how they
00:23:12.350 --> 00:23:16.529
Like Greg brought his cards and his pen and Alex
00:23:16.529 --> 00:23:19.390
brought his iPad. So they're still clinging to
00:23:19.390 --> 00:23:22.650
the stuff that they always hold on to. Their
00:23:22.650 --> 00:23:26.049
little comfort blanket props. I was like, I wonder
00:23:26.049 --> 00:23:29.150
if Greg is going to hold the iPad. Can you imagine
00:23:29.150 --> 00:23:32.529
if Greg had held the iPad and Alex was holding
00:23:32.529 --> 00:23:35.410
the gold pen and the cards? I would have loved
00:23:35.410 --> 00:23:39.470
that. His iPad, to me, looks like an Air or whatever
00:23:39.470 --> 00:23:42.390
the current replacement for the Air is, which
00:23:42.390 --> 00:23:48.670
they're not big iPads. But what I loved about
00:23:48.670 --> 00:23:51.710
that, and we had some heads up from, I think,
00:23:51.730 --> 00:23:55.470
the New York thing, was that Greg was made aware
00:23:55.470 --> 00:23:59.849
all of a sudden that Alex has padding on his
00:23:59.849 --> 00:24:02.769
throne as if he's never looked at it. In the
00:24:02.769 --> 00:24:05.829
10, 11, I think it's been 11 series now that
00:24:05.829 --> 00:24:07.329
they've had these thrones because they popped
00:24:07.329 --> 00:24:12.450
up in like series 9, I think. And he just never
00:24:12.450 --> 00:24:17.430
even looked at Alex in that direction long enough
00:24:17.430 --> 00:24:20.009
to even click that, wait, he's got padding on
00:24:20.009 --> 00:24:25.789
his arms. What the hell? And I would love if
00:24:25.789 --> 00:24:27.750
they actually follow through with getting rid
00:24:27.750 --> 00:24:32.700
of it. Because Greg demanded. That's so sad.
00:24:32.980 --> 00:24:38.039
I love it. Anyway, on to the tasks. Prize tasks.
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:42.339
Well. Well. Yeah, prize tasks. The thing most
00:24:42.339 --> 00:24:45.059
likely to make you do a double take. That's the
00:24:45.059 --> 00:24:48.579
whole thing. And Matt comes up with boots in
00:24:48.579 --> 00:24:53.480
a bin. Well, Matt and Ed talked about this in
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:58.420
their podcast. Like, pretty extensively, so.
00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:01.680
I don't feel like we need to delve super deep
00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:03.900
in here, but Boots in the Bin was funny. It looked
00:25:03.900 --> 00:25:06.059
like a body. I didn't really have anything else
00:25:06.059 --> 00:25:10.940
to say. Like, it wasn't a strong entry. Fatty
00:25:10.940 --> 00:25:13.119
has one. I was like, I don't understand what
00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:15.900
is supposed to be making you do the double take.
00:25:16.420 --> 00:25:20.000
So, I do understand. That didn't make any sense
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:25.549
to me. Her analogy was unhinged. But I actually
00:25:25.549 --> 00:25:28.609
know exactly what she meant. Because, like, it's
00:25:28.609 --> 00:25:33.029
a whole genre of cat meme. It's called, like,
00:25:33.089 --> 00:25:35.269
airplane ears, where you do something unexpected,
00:25:35.589 --> 00:25:37.869
and your cat just looks at you like, what the
00:25:37.869 --> 00:25:43.809
fuck was that? Like, I think... Who knows? Jumping
00:25:43.809 --> 00:25:50.400
off the balcony. Huh? Oh, she's sleeping. He's
00:25:50.400 --> 00:25:52.500
got important things to be doing right now instead
00:25:52.500 --> 00:25:56.039
of guesting on the pod. Why did her mannequin
00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:59.960
look like Guz Khan? I was thinking that too.
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:04.039
I was like, what? Is that you? That's literally
00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:07.279
how my brain just basically sees Guz Khan. He
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:12.660
has a beard. I love him. But yeah, so she was
00:26:12.660 --> 00:26:14.640
saying the thing that makes her do a double take
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:17.250
is a good looking man and a beard. Because she
00:26:17.250 --> 00:26:20.670
has to look twice to, you know, is he a Muslim
00:26:20.670 --> 00:26:26.950
man? Oh, I see. Because she likes a man with
00:26:26.950 --> 00:26:30.210
a beard. She would prefer him to be Muslim. And
00:26:30.210 --> 00:26:32.990
then she said that they couldn't find a dude
00:26:32.990 --> 00:26:38.390
she liked. So funny. And then just insulted every
00:26:38.390 --> 00:26:42.910
single man up on the stage right there. All four
00:26:42.910 --> 00:26:47.759
of them. Yeah. So funny. um like greg especially
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:53.599
oh like after all these like after 10 episodes
00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:58.640
of you like begging to be my wife like now you're
00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:04.299
like oh i don't like it's like excuse me another
00:27:04.299 --> 00:27:09.799
thing that i think might kind of been working
00:27:09.799 --> 00:27:14.740
in his against him is that as he's gone more
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:18.440
into the white side of the gray spectrum, his
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:22.240
beard has actually vanished again. Mm -hmm. Like,
00:27:22.259 --> 00:27:26.920
I don't know how long he lets it grow, but I
00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:30.220
just shaved yesterday, and I've got more of a
00:27:30.220 --> 00:27:33.140
beard than Greg Davis looks like he has. Right.
00:27:33.500 --> 00:27:36.519
Yeah, that's true. And in the middle of this,
00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:39.299
I had to restart my TV because my media server
00:27:39.299 --> 00:27:43.740
was being a dickhead. Oh, no. I had to restart
00:27:43.740 --> 00:27:46.160
my TV like three times last night. It was weird.
00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:48.779
It just was refusing to talk to a jelly fan.
00:27:49.700 --> 00:27:52.759
That's annoying. But yeah, and then Jason just
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:56.380
calls her ass out over this being her best prize.
00:27:56.940 --> 00:27:59.940
Yeah, that was funny. I can see where she's coming
00:27:59.940 --> 00:28:03.279
from from her point of view. I don't think she
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:05.119
understood that these are meant to be presents
00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:10.140
for Greg. Presents for Greg. don't don't get
00:28:10.140 --> 00:28:12.480
don't let alex catch you saying that well the
00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:15.740
thing is julie and clary very clearly played
00:28:15.740 --> 00:28:18.619
to that angle he like every single thing that
00:28:18.619 --> 00:28:20.740
he brought in it seemed like he thought that
00:28:20.740 --> 00:28:23.500
it was meant to be a present for greg and his
00:28:23.500 --> 00:28:27.599
prize tasks with one or two exceptions were flawless
00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:32.799
yeah i mean to be fair they're meant to be presents
00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:37.880
for greg well like even if they're not Even if
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:40.039
they're specifically, like, you know, the best
00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:43.119
thing that whatever. Like, it doesn't... Because
00:28:43.119 --> 00:28:45.579
some of them are like, the best thing that Greg
00:28:45.579 --> 00:28:49.940
thinks is blah blah blah. But... Creamy Gouda.
00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:58.099
Gouda. The... The thing is, though, that, like...
00:28:58.319 --> 00:29:01.559
Whatever it is has to appeal to Greg, even if
00:29:01.559 --> 00:29:04.759
the task doesn't specify that it's for Greg or
00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:07.619
the thing that Greg thinks is blank. Yeah, which
00:29:07.619 --> 00:29:10.660
is why Greg is the one ultimately judging it.
00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:14.779
So you have to either, yeah, make it something
00:29:14.779 --> 00:29:17.579
that Greg would want or something that Greg is
00:29:17.579 --> 00:29:22.019
going to find funny or entertaining. Which I
00:29:22.019 --> 00:29:25.140
feel like Alex's beard is like his only exception,
00:29:25.380 --> 00:29:28.990
mainly because I feel like. he shares the um
00:29:28.990 --> 00:29:31.710
sentiment that a lot of people in the fandom
00:29:31.710 --> 00:29:34.009
do they just kind of want to grind it into the
00:29:34.009 --> 00:29:39.549
carpet yep not to victim blame but maybe if he
00:29:39.549 --> 00:29:45.690
didn't have such a grindable face i don't know
00:29:45.690 --> 00:29:47.750
what the equivalent is it's something in the
00:29:47.750 --> 00:29:50.230
ballpark of cute aggression where so many people
00:29:50.230 --> 00:29:53.549
just want to like kick him down the stairs yeah
00:29:55.220 --> 00:29:59.700
And then we have Jason. Most meals with dad 1992
00:29:59.700 --> 00:30:04.380
to 1993. That was so weird. He bought it at a
00:30:04.380 --> 00:30:07.859
yard sale 30 years ago. I mean, it is pretty
00:30:07.859 --> 00:30:11.180
funny. And that's so relatable. I have so much
00:30:11.180 --> 00:30:14.160
shit like that in my house. Yeah. That it's just
00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:17.799
like, I saw it. It made me laugh. It doesn't
00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:21.980
make anyone else laugh. I don't care. Yeah. If
00:30:21.980 --> 00:30:26.789
it brings you joy. Keep it. And then he wants
00:30:26.789 --> 00:30:30.769
to earn it. That was so cute. Like, that was
00:30:30.769 --> 00:30:34.029
also kind of one of those moments where you see
00:30:34.029 --> 00:30:37.230
that he was, like, struggling a little bit. Yeah.
00:30:37.769 --> 00:30:41.490
God, you could hear his voice. Yeah, I felt so
00:30:41.490 --> 00:30:45.430
bad for him. No. And then we get Stevie, who
00:30:45.430 --> 00:30:49.750
forgot her flawless execution. So funny. I had
00:30:49.750 --> 00:30:54.809
to rewatch it. I had to watch it twice. I just
00:30:54.809 --> 00:30:56.990
have the ultimate double take, I guess, because
00:30:56.990 --> 00:30:58.910
the first time you watch it, you're like, OK,
00:30:59.069 --> 00:31:01.529
you know, she's being kind of reserved with her
00:31:01.529 --> 00:31:04.549
laughter, you know, like Fatih has prize task
00:31:04.549 --> 00:31:07.650
and everything. It was like, OK, well, maybe
00:31:07.650 --> 00:31:10.130
she's just toning it down for Jason's sake again,
00:31:10.250 --> 00:31:13.369
you know, and then you realize that's not why
00:31:13.369 --> 00:31:16.950
she's doing it. So the second the second time
00:31:16.950 --> 00:31:19.289
you watch it and you really hone in on it, you're
00:31:19.289 --> 00:31:22.319
like, yeah. a different color but like if you're
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:25.420
not expecting it it's totally unnoticeable so
00:31:25.420 --> 00:31:28.660
it was really impressive and then and then we
00:31:28.660 --> 00:31:30.960
just go on to rosie with her life -size period
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:34.220
and my only note is what the fuck apparently
00:31:34.220 --> 00:31:38.099
that was from a show that a live show that she
00:31:38.099 --> 00:31:40.940
did with her husband for their podcast or something
00:31:40.940 --> 00:31:44.079
yeah i'm like that doesn't that does not give
00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:46.829
me any context Because, yeah, I don't watch and
00:31:46.829 --> 00:31:49.289
or listen to their podcast, so I have no idea.
00:31:49.670 --> 00:31:51.630
Yeah, I don't either. The only thing I could
00:31:51.630 --> 00:31:57.549
think of was, I think there's a play. I don't
00:31:57.549 --> 00:31:59.869
think it's a musical, but I think there's a play
00:31:59.869 --> 00:32:04.069
that's called, like, The Vagina Monologues or
00:32:04.069 --> 00:32:07.109
something. Oh, yeah, that's massive. Big deal.
00:32:07.430 --> 00:32:12.150
And it's exactly what it sounds like. Yeah. It's
00:32:12.150 --> 00:32:14.369
a very feminist play, basically, and I recommend
00:32:14.369 --> 00:32:17.410
you see it. yeah it's fantastic i mean i i haven't
00:32:17.410 --> 00:32:19.190
seen it but that's the only thing that came to
00:32:19.190 --> 00:32:22.829
my mind was like was it from that but i guess
00:32:22.829 --> 00:32:26.750
not i don't know it was weird it definitely wasn't
00:32:26.750 --> 00:32:29.190
something that would make somebody do a double
00:32:29.190 --> 00:32:31.730
take because that is that's something that's
00:32:31.730 --> 00:32:34.170
like you need something that's subtle to do a
00:32:34.170 --> 00:32:36.470
double take yeah it's not a double take if you
00:32:36.470 --> 00:32:39.690
can't look away right and if you were because
00:32:39.690 --> 00:32:41.769
i was thinking like if you were trying to bring
00:32:41.769 --> 00:32:45.819
in a tat or to bring in a prize that the Taskmaster
00:32:45.819 --> 00:32:49.019
fandom would do a double take at. Obviously,
00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:52.700
Greg and Alex switching thrones, that was perfect.
00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:56.220
But what I thought of was when we were all in
00:32:56.220 --> 00:32:59.680
New York City and we were trying to look for
00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:03.220
Greg and Alex, we were all specifically looking
00:33:03.220 --> 00:33:09.180
for Alex's coat. his winter coat because it was
00:33:09.180 --> 00:33:12.779
like blue with like a red orange and yellow stripe
00:33:12.779 --> 00:33:15.759
so it was pretty obvious he's got a new one since
00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:21.259
the old adidas one yeah um so like we were all
00:33:21.259 --> 00:33:24.079
looking for that and we did find somebody wearing
00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:27.660
it and we were like but it wasn't him and i i
00:33:27.660 --> 00:33:30.140
have since seen that same one like in an airport
00:33:30.140 --> 00:33:32.500
and stuff and i always am like doing a double
00:33:32.500 --> 00:33:35.799
take at it being like alex No, it's not Alex.
00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:40.279
It's really funny. So for the Taskmaster fandom,
00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:42.579
that's what I would have brought in is Alex's
00:33:42.579 --> 00:33:46.779
coat. I'm wearing a shirt that I bought online
00:33:46.779 --> 00:33:50.539
before ever clocking that he had this one as
00:33:50.539 --> 00:33:53.440
well. I think he's worn it on like, you can see
00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:56.319
the rocket and thing. Oh, yeah. But yeah, I think
00:33:56.319 --> 00:33:58.480
he's worn it on like Sunday brunch or something.
00:33:59.380 --> 00:34:01.500
Oh, actually, you know what I would have brought
00:34:01.500 --> 00:34:05.450
in? this like inside joke with our group chat
00:34:05.450 --> 00:34:08.449
is, you know, those like, you know, those t -shirt
00:34:08.449 --> 00:34:11.650
they're like big baggy white t -shirts and it
00:34:11.650 --> 00:34:13.909
says like Greg Davis and it has like a bunch
00:34:13.909 --> 00:34:17.190
of different cutouts of Greg. And so we were
00:34:17.190 --> 00:34:19.989
like, cause that exists. That's a real thing
00:34:19.989 --> 00:34:22.510
that exists. And I guess there's one for Alex,
00:34:22.550 --> 00:34:27.010
but there's like this inside joke where we want
00:34:27.010 --> 00:34:30.480
to make. One that says Alex Horne, but all of
00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:34.519
the pictures are of Andy Cartwright. Yes. I love
00:34:34.519 --> 00:34:36.659
how much they're playing into that as well lately.
00:34:36.900 --> 00:34:40.820
Yeah. Which we'll get to later. But it's fantastic.
00:34:41.300 --> 00:34:44.440
I feel like it started with Champion of Champions
00:34:44.440 --> 00:34:48.599
3. Yeah. Like, I don't wear shirts like that,
00:34:48.639 --> 00:34:51.300
but I want to own one of those shirts so bad
00:34:51.300 --> 00:34:54.780
because it's so funny. Yeah, I think I don't
00:34:54.780 --> 00:34:57.679
really wear t -shirts outside of home. But I
00:34:57.679 --> 00:34:59.579
think that is one that I would actually wear
00:34:59.579 --> 00:35:04.239
because it's hilarious. And, like, this is the
00:35:04.239 --> 00:35:07.280
first time, probably because I knew something
00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:09.920
was going to be up, that I clocked that it was
00:35:09.920 --> 00:35:13.880
Andy. Because usually, I don't get the joke until
00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:21.820
after the fact. So we have Alex going... One
00:35:21.820 --> 00:35:24.880
point to Fatihah. Which I love that Greg even
00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:26.920
said it would ruin their potential marriage.
00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:31.559
Yes. He's so sassy. Alex so sassy this series.
00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:35.239
He is. I love it. I love that we're seeing more
00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:39.280
of his actual personality and not whatever the
00:35:39.280 --> 00:35:43.519
fuck little Alex Horn is. I love little Alex
00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:48.389
Horn. Don't get me wrong. But... I love how he
00:35:48.389 --> 00:35:52.070
has been letting that not be the only thing he
00:35:52.070 --> 00:35:55.809
does. Yeah. And then we had Matt with two points,
00:35:55.849 --> 00:35:59.889
and everyone was cuddling Stevie's hand. That
00:35:59.889 --> 00:36:06.409
was so cute. And then Jason got three, Rosie
00:36:06.409 --> 00:36:11.909
got four, and Stevie, of course, got five. Which,
00:36:12.030 --> 00:36:15.670
I can't say I disagree with any of that. Yeah.
00:36:17.739 --> 00:36:20.400
And then we'll just roll on to task number two.
00:36:21.099 --> 00:36:24.000
Completely fill the yellow box with sand. Once
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:27.400
you have touched a box, you must hold that box
00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:32.820
for the rest of the task. And immediately...
00:36:32.820 --> 00:36:36.900
I don't think they really held each box. No.
00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:39.920
I mean, I know they tried to. Like, Stevie definitely
00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:42.519
tried, but she was, like, rolling some stuff
00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:46.280
on a chair at some point. And it's like, you
00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:49.650
need to hold... Again, I'm not blaming her for
00:36:49.650 --> 00:36:52.409
not... Because she was trying to, like, touch
00:36:52.409 --> 00:36:55.550
everything. And this task is just classic Alex
00:36:55.550 --> 00:36:58.670
Horn bullshit. Like, it's a simple task, very
00:36:58.670 --> 00:37:01.710
straightforward, that's just made needlessly
00:37:01.710 --> 00:37:04.730
irritating. It's not even complicated. It's just
00:37:04.730 --> 00:37:12.000
annoying. Also, I loved the... throwback to uh
00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:16.420
john kern's yes uh task with the shopping cart
00:37:16.420 --> 00:37:21.079
and the top hat i was like oh my gosh i love
00:37:21.079 --> 00:37:25.820
this so much and so i i was like pausing every
00:37:25.820 --> 00:37:27.960
now and again to write down my notes and my partner
00:37:27.960 --> 00:37:30.119
was sitting there and he's like because because
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:33.760
i started typing um shopping cart and top hat
00:37:33.760 --> 00:37:37.699
and he was like what's the significance of that
00:37:37.699 --> 00:37:40.239
and i was like well remember john kearns and
00:37:40.239 --> 00:37:45.079
he was like oh right i really liked that little
00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:49.340
nod but before the task even starts jason immediately
00:37:49.340 --> 00:37:52.440
notices the gopro which tells him that there
00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:56.119
is some tom fuckery going on with this table
00:37:56.119 --> 00:38:00.300
and his instinct when he was like hi yeah yeah
00:38:00.300 --> 00:38:04.650
that was amazing so what while Jason is refusing
00:38:04.650 --> 00:38:08.630
to say the line because he knows that Alex is
00:38:08.630 --> 00:38:12.469
going to be classic dickhead Alex. Stevie is
00:38:12.469 --> 00:38:15.429
just immediately cursing herself. She really
00:38:15.429 --> 00:38:19.230
is. She was asking for it. The thing about measuring
00:38:19.230 --> 00:38:23.050
her emotions and reactions while just immediately
00:38:23.050 --> 00:38:28.530
grab the box. I mean, it's a famous last words
00:38:28.530 --> 00:38:32.110
type of situation where. Like, you're dooming
00:38:32.110 --> 00:38:34.909
yourself by saying that already. Well, and then
00:38:34.909 --> 00:38:36.969
the funny thing is, Alex says in studio that
00:38:36.969 --> 00:38:39.110
it didn't count until after they said the line.
00:38:39.250 --> 00:38:41.949
So she was needlessly holding onto the box anyway.
00:38:43.130 --> 00:38:46.489
But to be fair, they didn't know that while reading
00:38:46.489 --> 00:38:49.769
the task. Rosie acted on that, but you can tell,
00:38:49.789 --> 00:38:54.710
yeah, she was like... In studio, she was very
00:38:54.710 --> 00:38:59.820
relieved when Alex said that. But yeah, I love
00:38:59.820 --> 00:39:03.539
Jason's refusing to say the line, because I think
00:39:03.539 --> 00:39:08.519
it's a rare moment, and I don't think he's really
00:39:08.519 --> 00:39:11.340
gone down this lane since Bridget Christie, where
00:39:11.340 --> 00:39:14.300
he stopped being Alex entirely, and just all
00:39:14.300 --> 00:39:18.059
of a sudden, the producer is there being kind
00:39:18.059 --> 00:39:21.420
of bitchy, because Jason goes, have you started
00:39:21.420 --> 00:39:27.039
the clock? Alex says, no. And Jason says, great.
00:39:27.280 --> 00:39:29.880
And then Alex, you can barely hear it under the
00:39:29.880 --> 00:39:33.840
audience. I'm tempted to. And that's what gets
00:39:33.840 --> 00:39:37.420
Jason's ass finally into gear. It's entirely
00:39:37.420 --> 00:39:40.639
because Alex became the producer for a few seconds.
00:39:40.840 --> 00:39:43.199
And I did wonder whether he would have just started.
00:39:43.519 --> 00:39:48.099
At what point does Alex actually start the clock?
00:39:48.300 --> 00:39:50.659
You know what I mean? Yeah, because he's even
00:39:50.659 --> 00:39:54.920
said that they're getting bored with that. And
00:39:54.920 --> 00:39:58.280
they want to encourage people to do that kind
00:39:58.280 --> 00:40:00.920
of thing less. You know, the rules are you read
00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:04.099
the task and then you do the task. Yeah. And
00:40:04.099 --> 00:40:06.679
he does get out of them a little bit when he
00:40:06.679 --> 00:40:09.980
phrases it like we have in this episode where
00:40:09.980 --> 00:40:12.219
your time started when you acknowledged Alex.
00:40:12.480 --> 00:40:16.539
Yeah. So we do. But, you know, it's a classic.
00:40:16.579 --> 00:40:19.000
Your time starts now. Like you can't cut that
00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:25.789
out completely. Yeah. And then. We have Fatia
00:40:25.789 --> 00:40:28.469
just immediately getting annoyed at Alex. She
00:40:28.469 --> 00:40:32.170
hates the dome. She thinks this task is stupid.
00:40:32.949 --> 00:40:37.110
And then Alex points out that she touched the
00:40:37.110 --> 00:40:39.570
orange box and she's like, well, yes, thanks
00:40:39.570 --> 00:40:45.570
for stating the obvious. But, like, the whole
00:40:45.570 --> 00:40:47.809
dome, the whole thing is a trap. There is nothing
00:40:47.809 --> 00:40:51.829
for you in the dome. Yep. And Jason's spotting
00:40:51.829 --> 00:40:57.619
that GoPro. he he that at least told him that
00:40:57.619 --> 00:40:59.880
things are not going to be what they seem so
00:40:59.880 --> 00:41:02.400
he just fucks up the table and look he's right
00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:05.159
yeah that there was nothing there under you know
00:41:05.159 --> 00:41:10.880
to do with the table just traps and sadness but
00:41:10.880 --> 00:41:14.820
then they yeah the the title of this uh debrief
00:41:14.820 --> 00:41:21.480
but then they both find the ball um that sends
00:41:21.480 --> 00:41:24.219
them on the wild goose chase because jason got
00:41:24.219 --> 00:41:27.820
too invested in working out what the trap on
00:41:27.820 --> 00:41:30.820
the table was i think yeah had he just accepted
00:41:30.820 --> 00:41:35.340
there's a trap i need to leave he would have
00:41:35.340 --> 00:41:40.219
got it i think immediately and then we have yeah
00:41:40.219 --> 00:41:44.800
i feel like i feel like what you need to do is
00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:48.789
take yourself out of the moment And just leave.
00:41:49.010 --> 00:41:51.510
Yeah. And just go and explore and look around
00:41:51.510 --> 00:41:56.090
the grounds. And what you don't need to do is
00:41:56.090 --> 00:41:59.570
try to kick the door in and then nearly fall
00:41:59.570 --> 00:42:03.070
down the stairs. Alex's face, I had to rewind
00:42:03.070 --> 00:42:06.349
and watch that again. Because Alex, like, you
00:42:06.349 --> 00:42:09.389
can see Alex, like, going out to catch her. And
00:42:09.389 --> 00:42:11.389
then he just, like, side -eyes the camera and
00:42:11.389 --> 00:42:15.639
he's just like... That's so funny! There's another
00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:18.159
bit like that that comes up later that I want
00:42:18.159 --> 00:42:21.579
to touch on. But Fatia trying to kick the door
00:42:21.579 --> 00:42:26.840
in reminded me of that New Year treat where Lady
00:42:26.840 --> 00:42:30.059
Leisure tried to ram raid the door and didn't
00:42:30.059 --> 00:42:32.380
realize that it was, like, properly closed and
00:42:32.380 --> 00:42:39.239
latched. It reminded me of... I think Guz...
00:42:39.239 --> 00:42:43.119
Was it Guz? That he was, like... Because it was,
00:42:43.159 --> 00:42:46.610
like... don't let Alex get the ball or whatever
00:42:46.610 --> 00:42:50.969
it was. And he like taped to the door and Alex
00:42:50.969 --> 00:42:54.090
is like, I'm going to break the door down. And
00:42:54.090 --> 00:42:57.630
he's like, okay. And he kicks the door in with
00:42:57.630 --> 00:43:01.769
no resistance at all. It's so funny. That's what
00:43:01.769 --> 00:43:04.570
that reminded me of. I've told this story before.
00:43:04.670 --> 00:43:08.610
So I watched this, I watched it backwards. I
00:43:08.610 --> 00:43:12.590
started with series 11 while 12 was airing. So
00:43:12.590 --> 00:43:16.530
I was, Like, watching 11, and then there'd be
00:43:16.530 --> 00:43:19.929
an episode of 12, and then I was watching 10,
00:43:20.070 --> 00:43:21.929
and then there was another episode, and it kind
00:43:21.929 --> 00:43:25.190
of went on like that. So I didn't really have
00:43:25.190 --> 00:43:30.889
the full context at that episode for why it was
00:43:30.889 --> 00:43:36.489
unusual that Guz was just pissing himself, basically,
00:43:36.489 --> 00:43:40.869
over Alex breaking in. Which... No, that's fucking
00:43:40.869 --> 00:43:44.670
weird. That is amazingly out of character. And
00:43:44.670 --> 00:43:47.789
I think Guz was right to be scared, because what
00:43:47.789 --> 00:43:51.789
the hell is he doing? So funny. But also, just
00:43:51.789 --> 00:43:57.530
poor Rosie in this, just having an absolute nightmare.
00:43:58.969 --> 00:44:02.590
She had the box on her head, which they both
00:44:02.590 --> 00:44:05.670
did. But only Rosie really got called out for
00:44:05.670 --> 00:44:07.869
it, because she picked the wrong box, whereas
00:44:07.869 --> 00:44:10.210
Fatia picked one that she could balance on her
00:44:10.210 --> 00:44:13.289
head. And then Rosie was just wearing it like
00:44:13.289 --> 00:44:19.949
a hat. Yeah. And luckily, neither of them saw
00:44:19.949 --> 00:44:25.949
the sandpaper box. Which... Classic. Classic
00:44:25.949 --> 00:44:33.590
Alex Horn bullshit. Yep. We got... Yeah, I would
00:44:33.590 --> 00:44:37.550
have been really mad about the sandpaper thing.
00:44:37.610 --> 00:44:42.090
I would have been furious. Instead, we get Fatia
00:44:42.090 --> 00:44:45.789
furious at the little sandcastle thing. And it's
00:44:45.789 --> 00:44:48.070
like, yeah, get him. He deserves to be called
00:44:48.070 --> 00:44:50.469
out. And I don't know if you saw that video that
00:44:50.469 --> 00:44:55.170
was posted earlier. Just a supercut of Fatia
00:44:55.170 --> 00:44:58.369
swearing it out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So funny.
00:44:59.090 --> 00:45:04.380
That was such a good... Yeah, I think she's going
00:45:04.380 --> 00:45:07.139
to go down in the same camp that Judy Love did.
00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:11.340
Just no patience for whatever he's doing. We're
00:45:11.340 --> 00:45:12.639
not playing these games. No patience for the
00:45:12.639 --> 00:45:18.360
bullshit. Yep. Absolutely. And then, yeah, back
00:45:18.360 --> 00:45:21.619
in the studio, I love it. I love the way Greg
00:45:21.619 --> 00:45:25.320
responds when a contestant explains why they
00:45:25.320 --> 00:45:29.519
suck. because she was talking about how she nearly
00:45:29.519 --> 00:45:32.199
fell over trying to kick in the door, and he
00:45:32.199 --> 00:45:35.159
goes, yeah, I saw. She's like, I don't have any
00:45:35.159 --> 00:45:40.679
balance, and he's like, yeah, I know. And then
00:45:40.679 --> 00:45:43.659
we had Matt, who just immediately noticed that
00:45:43.659 --> 00:45:46.059
there was a trap, just like Jason did, and then
00:45:46.059 --> 00:45:49.900
immediately falls for the trap. Like, he was
00:45:49.900 --> 00:45:53.400
looking around, and you could see the cogs swirling,
00:45:53.460 --> 00:45:57.019
and then... nah, I'm gonna do this anyway, where
00:45:57.019 --> 00:45:59.599
Jason just said, nope, this is a trap, I'm gonna
00:45:59.599 --> 00:46:04.340
fuck the table, and then get out of here. Yep.
00:46:04.480 --> 00:46:08.159
And that's when we find John Kern's sabotage
00:46:08.159 --> 00:46:12.960
props, which might be, to me, still one of the
00:46:12.960 --> 00:46:19.159
best tasks ever. Mm -hmm. Like... Yeah, I'll
00:46:19.159 --> 00:46:22.460
agree with that. If I'm showing someone to task,
00:46:22.599 --> 00:46:24.980
or showing someone that... the show for the first
00:46:24.980 --> 00:46:31.159
time and i don't know how likely they're they
00:46:31.159 --> 00:46:38.539
are to respond positively to the unhinged kinky
00:46:38.539 --> 00:46:42.199
side of the show it's john's sabotage task that
00:46:42.199 --> 00:46:48.719
i show them because it has everything and then
00:46:48.719 --> 00:46:52.920
i've got Yeah, we've got Jason talking to the
00:46:52.920 --> 00:46:59.059
GoPro, and then he just, surprisingly, aside
00:46:59.059 --> 00:47:01.099
from the table, which he still doesn't even wreck,
00:47:01.179 --> 00:47:05.159
he mostly just made a mess of this task. Yeah,
00:47:05.179 --> 00:47:08.420
I wonder, because I forget who was saying it,
00:47:08.480 --> 00:47:11.639
but I think somebody was saying somewhere that
00:47:11.639 --> 00:47:18.940
they started putting Jason... in the the last
00:47:18.940 --> 00:47:22.719
slot of doing pre -recorded tasks so that if
00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:25.159
he did wreck something it wouldn't affect the
00:47:25.159 --> 00:47:28.440
other contestants thing so i wonder if that was
00:47:28.440 --> 00:47:31.340
one of the earlier tasks that they shot where
00:47:31.340 --> 00:47:34.139
he wasn't the last person to use it yeah like
00:47:34.139 --> 00:47:38.840
i mean we you know there's nothing we can actually
00:47:38.840 --> 00:47:42.500
stop you but like If you do wreck this, just
00:47:42.500 --> 00:47:45.119
know that a member of production will have to
00:47:45.119 --> 00:47:49.900
like rebuild this entire thing. So like not wrecking
00:47:49.900 --> 00:47:53.199
it immediately. And this task does have that
00:47:53.199 --> 00:47:56.059
kind of early filming energy because they're
00:47:56.059 --> 00:48:01.619
going a lot of places on the property. And that
00:48:01.619 --> 00:48:03.960
always confuses people toward the beginning.
00:48:04.019 --> 00:48:06.980
Like Stevie, which I still can't believe this
00:48:06.980 --> 00:48:10.519
wasn't the first task was. Yeah. It was the first
00:48:10.519 --> 00:48:13.920
task we were shown, but it wasn't the first one
00:48:13.920 --> 00:48:19.099
she filmed, and that is insane to me. And then...
00:48:19.099 --> 00:48:22.400
I mean, also, as somebody that, like, has watched
00:48:22.400 --> 00:48:26.940
Taskmasters so much, it always baffles me to
00:48:26.940 --> 00:48:29.780
think that, like, people don't know where every
00:48:29.780 --> 00:48:32.840
single room at the house is. Which I love that
00:48:32.840 --> 00:48:36.139
Jason absolutely does. Like, you can tell he
00:48:36.139 --> 00:48:39.550
loves this show. And you can tell that Matt loves
00:48:39.550 --> 00:48:43.909
this show. But they're definitely loving it in
00:48:43.909 --> 00:48:46.929
different ways. Because Matt also, like, he fell
00:48:46.929 --> 00:48:51.489
for so many basic traps. Where Jason falls for
00:48:51.489 --> 00:48:55.590
a big one later. And he's even pissed off at
00:48:55.590 --> 00:48:58.210
himself because he sees it immediately in hindsight.
00:48:58.849 --> 00:49:02.730
Yeah. Which we'll get onto that later. But for
00:49:02.730 --> 00:49:05.090
now, I figured you'd want to talk about Matt's
00:49:05.090 --> 00:49:08.570
cute little jog. I do love Matt's cute little
00:49:08.570 --> 00:49:13.590
dog. Thank you. I love him so much. I'm obsessed
00:49:13.590 --> 00:49:17.849
with the man, okay? His stupid little stick legs.
00:49:18.289 --> 00:49:24.510
His getaway sticks, if you will. I mean, look
00:49:24.510 --> 00:49:27.190
at those knobbly little knees and his skinny
00:49:27.190 --> 00:49:29.949
little leggies. How can you not love this man?
00:49:30.070 --> 00:49:33.590
He's so fucking weird. I love him so much. He's
00:49:33.590 --> 00:49:37.610
great. I don't know. There's nothing else to
00:49:37.610 --> 00:49:42.230
say. And then we get an ad break and Alex is
00:49:42.230 --> 00:49:46.230
talking about Muesli. That was weird. I was like,
00:49:46.309 --> 00:49:49.510
what? Sponsored by Muesli? What? What's happening?
00:49:50.789 --> 00:49:53.769
Like, I don't mind Muesli. We can actually get
00:49:53.769 --> 00:49:57.210
some really good blends here. I don't even know
00:49:57.210 --> 00:49:59.510
what Muesli is, if I'm being honest. It's like
00:49:59.510 --> 00:50:03.150
a fortified porridge. Like, instead of just being
00:50:03.150 --> 00:50:06.849
oats, it's got, like, seeds and fruit and other
00:50:06.849 --> 00:50:09.090
things. Like, the one that we get, it's got...
00:50:09.090 --> 00:50:14.329
It's like quinoa? No. No, no. Because I was like,
00:50:14.389 --> 00:50:17.550
Alex would never eat quinoa. No. So, it starts
00:50:17.550 --> 00:50:21.369
off as oatmeal. And then it will have, like...
00:50:21.369 --> 00:50:24.889
We had a blend recently that had sunflower seeds,
00:50:25.369 --> 00:50:30.900
almonds, and something else. Cranberries and
00:50:30.900 --> 00:50:38.500
raisins. And just cereal. Yeah. Like, it's what
00:50:38.500 --> 00:50:41.699
people want to make oatmeal as because just the
00:50:41.699 --> 00:50:47.000
basic oatmeal, it ain't great. But no, like,
00:50:47.199 --> 00:50:50.800
if you can find it, it's nice. It's just basically
00:50:50.800 --> 00:50:55.900
nice, bougie oatmeal. Cool. And then we get on
00:50:55.900 --> 00:51:02.480
to Stevie. isolated yet again. And she's just
00:51:02.480 --> 00:51:04.880
immediately fucked. She curses herself right
00:51:04.880 --> 00:51:06.820
at the gate. At least she did it. At least she
00:51:06.820 --> 00:51:10.559
completed the task. She knocks the table over,
00:51:10.659 --> 00:51:14.599
just trying to do whatever she's doing. Falls
00:51:14.599 --> 00:51:21.119
for every single trap this task. And then we
00:51:21.119 --> 00:51:28.280
get Alex helping her with the chair. And... I
00:51:28.280 --> 00:51:31.800
love when he helps because he knows that if he
00:51:31.800 --> 00:51:34.480
doesn't, this task is not getting completed.
00:51:35.679 --> 00:51:41.559
Like, that's clearly what it was. Yeah. And then...
00:51:41.559 --> 00:51:46.420
I wrote down, I can't deal with that. I think
00:51:46.420 --> 00:51:48.559
that might have been for the sandpaper when she
00:51:48.559 --> 00:51:53.719
found it. I was so mad. I was furious. Well,
00:51:53.719 --> 00:51:57.829
because when... i think yeah i think i noticed
00:51:57.829 --> 00:52:00.909
it like earlier when she was in the shed and
00:52:00.909 --> 00:52:03.670
i'm like oh what's that red box and my husband
00:52:03.670 --> 00:52:05.710
said oh i think rosie opened it and that's where
00:52:05.710 --> 00:52:09.530
the ball was and i was like that doesn't seem
00:52:09.530 --> 00:52:12.809
right because yeah the ball was in the dome so
00:52:12.809 --> 00:52:16.309
when when the ball was in the dome when stevie
00:52:16.309 --> 00:52:22.349
finally spotted the red box just again grab didn't
00:52:22.349 --> 00:52:25.480
think maybe you know Test it by knocking something
00:52:25.480 --> 00:52:28.119
else into it, seeing if it's heavy. Or, like,
00:52:28.119 --> 00:52:30.699
take a stick and open the box and see what's
00:52:30.699 --> 00:52:32.940
in there, yeah. Like, it's in the shed. There
00:52:32.940 --> 00:52:35.619
are tools in the shed. Please use the tools in
00:52:35.619 --> 00:52:42.820
the shed. And just, okay, yeah, alright. And
00:52:42.820 --> 00:52:46.539
then just an amazing tantrum at the end. We don't
00:52:46.539 --> 00:52:51.099
have tantrums very much anymore. No. But that
00:52:51.099 --> 00:52:55.469
was such a deserved one. She was so over it.
00:52:55.489 --> 00:52:58.650
She's like, fuck this. Just throw all the toys
00:52:58.650 --> 00:53:04.269
out of the pram. Totally done. And we have Matt
00:53:04.269 --> 00:53:08.269
with five, Jason with four, Stevie with three,
00:53:08.309 --> 00:53:11.750
Fatio with two, and Rosie with one. And as Greg
00:53:11.750 --> 00:53:17.230
says, now we know who's better. That was amazing.
00:53:17.670 --> 00:53:21.110
Yes. And I felt so bad for Jason not being able
00:53:21.110 --> 00:53:25.119
to fight back. Because he wasn't feeling well.
00:53:25.300 --> 00:53:29.260
He's like, yeah, whatever. Although later he
00:53:29.260 --> 00:53:33.800
does nearly chase Alex off the stage. I loved
00:53:33.800 --> 00:53:38.119
that. Oh my gosh. Deserved. Alex's little fight
00:53:38.119 --> 00:53:42.619
or flight response is like, run away. Oh wait,
00:53:42.780 --> 00:53:45.159
Greg is here. Let me just hide behind Greg. He
00:53:45.159 --> 00:53:48.519
started running away and then he hit against
00:53:48.519 --> 00:53:52.780
Greg. We'll get to that later though. Because
00:53:52.780 --> 00:53:56.599
first, there's a new named prop. And he's called
00:53:56.599 --> 00:54:00.880
Rufus. Rufus! Let me see if I still have the
00:54:00.880 --> 00:54:07.599
tab open. He will be joining our podcast family
00:54:07.599 --> 00:54:11.440
soon. Yes, he will, because I already have him.
00:54:11.500 --> 00:54:18.719
I had to go elsewhere. Here it is. Found it.
00:54:19.780 --> 00:54:26.179
So, Tesco. would not let me create... Oh, shit,
00:54:26.260 --> 00:54:30.820
I lost you again. Let me see, did that fix it?
00:54:32.940 --> 00:54:36.179
There we go, I fixed it. Okay. So Tesco would
00:54:36.179 --> 00:54:38.539
not let me create an account. So if you're in
00:54:38.539 --> 00:54:43.639
the UK, you can get him here. And Amanda found
00:54:43.639 --> 00:54:45.960
this one. Between the two of us, I think we found
00:54:45.960 --> 00:54:49.659
about four of them. That could have been it,
00:54:49.679 --> 00:54:51.639
so it wasn't until I was able to get the download
00:54:51.639 --> 00:54:56.320
and compare screenshots that I confirmed it's
00:54:56.320 --> 00:55:00.199
this one. If you're in the UK, he's $17. I had
00:55:00.199 --> 00:55:03.900
to get him on eBay for $40. So aside from the
00:55:03.900 --> 00:55:06.559
elephant, he's still the cheapest one so far.
00:55:08.280 --> 00:55:10.980
That's pretty impressive. He looks very soft.
00:55:11.260 --> 00:55:16.000
He does. So Rufus is going to be part of our
00:55:16.000 --> 00:55:18.739
gang. According to the Royal Mail, he's arriving
00:55:18.739 --> 00:55:21.340
tomorrow. I've got beef on site with the Royal
00:55:21.340 --> 00:55:27.300
Mail, so I don't believe them. Right. And then
00:55:27.300 --> 00:55:31.260
when Matt named him... First, when Matt named
00:55:31.260 --> 00:55:33.619
him Rufus, that was like tickling something in
00:55:33.619 --> 00:55:36.300
the back of my head. And I'm like, Rufus the
00:55:36.300 --> 00:55:40.340
Hound, why does that sound familiar? And then...
00:55:41.120 --> 00:55:46.739
YouTube served me a video of a comic relief episode
00:55:46.739 --> 00:55:50.500
of Only Connect. And then I realized it's not
00:55:50.500 --> 00:55:53.840
Rufus the Hound. It's Rufus Hound, a comedian.
00:55:55.280 --> 00:55:59.139
So I don't know if that was, you know, something
00:55:59.139 --> 00:56:02.679
invading the back of Matt's brain or just a really
00:56:02.679 --> 00:56:06.360
cute coincidence. Right now we have Rufus the
00:56:06.360 --> 00:56:09.420
Cocker Spaniel Dog, not a plushie. It's so cute.
00:56:09.719 --> 00:56:13.440
It's specifically Cocker Spaniel Dog plush toy,
00:56:13.719 --> 00:56:17.139
brackets brown. And there's a puppy variation
00:56:17.139 --> 00:56:20.820
that is specifically a puppy and it's lighter
00:56:20.820 --> 00:56:24.019
colors and smaller. Interesting. So that's not
00:56:24.019 --> 00:56:27.420
the puppy. Yeah, this is the dog, which I thought
00:56:27.420 --> 00:56:30.800
was very funny. That's funny. And then we get,
00:56:30.920 --> 00:56:36.409
yeah, so let's actually read out the task. Yeah,
00:56:38.090 --> 00:56:40.929
okay, so here we go. Part one, freeze on your
00:56:40.929 --> 00:56:44.190
spot in the most powerful pose in five minutes
00:56:44.190 --> 00:56:48.150
from now. You must be touching two of the objects.
00:56:49.530 --> 00:56:56.769
And yeah, like Jason said, this just stinks of
00:56:56.769 --> 00:56:59.590
there's a second part of the task because there's
00:56:59.590 --> 00:57:03.880
no win condition. There's no win condition. You
00:57:03.880 --> 00:57:05.639
gotta look for the wind conditions, my guys.
00:57:06.400 --> 00:57:09.639
But we have Fatia annoyed at being made to walk
00:57:09.639 --> 00:57:13.340
across gravel. So funny. Alex says that the temple
00:57:13.340 --> 00:57:18.000
is inflatable. And Rosie being like, it's not.
00:57:18.460 --> 00:57:21.039
Yeah, like she had to really think about it.
00:57:23.239 --> 00:57:30.099
I mean, I think that this series has the most
00:57:30.099 --> 00:57:35.579
beautiful location. tasks we have ever seen so
00:57:35.579 --> 00:57:43.059
far. And I will stick by that. So it's at something
00:57:43.059 --> 00:57:46.920
called Painzil. I don't exactly know what that
00:57:46.920 --> 00:57:53.900
is, but it's in Surrey. So you can go there.
00:57:53.940 --> 00:57:56.960
You can probably find it fairly easily. There's
00:57:56.960 --> 00:58:00.420
coordinates and a website on the Taskmaster fandom
00:58:00.420 --> 00:58:05.010
wiki. Sweet. I mean, gorgeous location. Yes.
00:58:05.090 --> 00:58:09.969
I was struck by Matt's stuff blowing all over
00:58:09.969 --> 00:58:14.230
the place. Matt is consistently getting all the
00:58:14.230 --> 00:58:17.769
windy days for tasks. And then we get Alex's
00:58:17.769 --> 00:58:22.869
little skull. Oh, his little scurry. But also,
00:58:22.909 --> 00:58:27.190
can we talk about this task, I think, is one
00:58:27.190 --> 00:58:32.289
of the best. edited tasks i want to know entirety
00:58:32.289 --> 00:58:36.969
of task what what adobe after fat or after effects
00:58:36.969 --> 00:58:40.269
witchcraft is that i don't want to learn it because
00:58:40.269 --> 00:58:43.989
fuck after effects but that was such a good way
00:58:43.989 --> 00:58:48.210
of showing it i mean it was brilliant it was
00:58:48.210 --> 00:58:54.179
so cool that they put them in order through five
00:58:54.179 --> 00:58:57.219
yeah i love when they do that that was amazing
00:58:57.219 --> 00:59:02.199
and then having and then can crop them all together
00:59:02.199 --> 00:59:07.260
in the same shot and just just the whole editing
00:59:07.260 --> 00:59:11.739
of this entire task was gorgeous and i really
00:59:11.739 --> 00:59:14.639
really want to shout out it was team for this
00:59:14.639 --> 00:59:17.519
specific i mean for the whole show you know we
00:59:17.519 --> 00:59:21.300
are a huge fan of yours but for the killer i
00:59:21.300 --> 00:59:26.500
was blown away like nick muhammad level editing
00:59:26.500 --> 00:59:30.500
out his reflection levels of blown like i was
00:59:30.500 --> 00:59:34.519
so impressed the editing for the task just just
00:59:34.519 --> 00:59:39.820
yeah i i love these ones where they like edit
00:59:39.820 --> 00:59:43.480
everyone together a favorite one of mine is the
00:59:43.480 --> 00:59:45.719
one where they had to be the third person to
00:59:45.719 --> 00:59:48.019
high five yeah the high five i was just thinking
00:59:48.019 --> 00:59:53.170
that was that was so clever and so clever Unfortunately,
00:59:53.190 --> 00:59:56.289
like, it's one of those tasks that I think, on
00:59:56.289 --> 01:00:00.730
its own, was not a strong task. It was only because
01:00:00.730 --> 01:00:03.670
the team of three, two of the three of them,
01:00:03.730 --> 01:00:07.250
absolutely failed to comprehend the task. And
01:00:07.250 --> 01:00:09.829
that's what made it good. And then Ardell just,
01:00:10.030 --> 01:00:12.889
he understood the task, and then he made his
01:00:12.889 --> 01:00:18.440
own rules for it. Yeah, he sure did. So we have
01:00:18.440 --> 01:00:24.920
Fatia. Regal people have dogs all the time. So
01:00:24.920 --> 01:00:28.059
funny. I think I understand what she means, but
01:00:28.059 --> 01:00:29.840
that was, you know. Like, I kind of get it, yeah.
01:00:30.179 --> 01:00:33.340
And then we have Matt. Power over life or death.
01:00:34.380 --> 01:00:37.460
Like, I kind of got where he was coming from.
01:00:37.739 --> 01:00:41.159
Like, this poor dog does not have a very wholesome
01:00:41.159 --> 01:00:44.679
intro. Because if you think about it, like, what
01:00:44.679 --> 01:00:47.730
do you think is more powerful? potentially killing
01:00:47.730 --> 01:00:52.869
a puppy or maybe like a lion or like a hippo
01:00:52.869 --> 01:00:56.110
or something like something that's not like a
01:00:56.110 --> 01:00:58.510
tiny harmless little furball you know what i
01:00:58.510 --> 01:01:02.230
mean like i do get where he was but maybe i think
01:01:02.230 --> 01:01:06.150
a more powerful image would him attacking like
01:01:06.150 --> 01:01:11.809
something bigger yeah or something i don't know
01:01:11.809 --> 01:01:14.809
well it's funny because this is not the first
01:01:14.809 --> 01:01:18.960
time people have come up with the power of life
01:01:18.960 --> 01:01:21.679
or death. Like, there's two times people wanted
01:01:21.679 --> 01:01:25.920
Dying Frog, which is odd. Like, the fact that
01:01:25.920 --> 01:01:29.760
has specifically been requested twice. Sean Harris
01:01:29.760 --> 01:01:35.019
then went for, like, resurrecting a dead guinea
01:01:35.019 --> 01:01:37.980
pig with her pinky, because it was do something
01:01:37.980 --> 01:01:41.510
powerful with your pinky. So in her mind, that
01:01:41.510 --> 01:01:45.110
life or death means, you know, create life. And
01:01:45.110 --> 01:01:49.070
Lou Sanders also, I don't know if this was the
01:01:49.070 --> 01:01:52.969
same task. I can't remember. She wanted to get
01:01:52.969 --> 01:01:58.329
pregnant for one of them and create life. And
01:01:58.329 --> 01:02:01.590
it's like, now we have Matt going, I'm going
01:02:01.590 --> 01:02:08.619
to murder a puppy. Yeah, I mean. I, so, like,
01:02:08.679 --> 01:02:11.820
at my job, I have to perform Humane Euthanasia
01:02:11.820 --> 01:02:15.780
on animals, and I wouldn't say that it gives
01:02:15.780 --> 01:02:19.900
me a sense of humor. That's not the word I would
01:02:19.900 --> 01:02:24.880
use, to be honest. Yeah, I mean... So, like,
01:02:24.980 --> 01:02:27.400
again, I kind of get where he's coming from.
01:02:28.579 --> 01:02:33.579
Like, I grew up... in a family that did a lot
01:02:33.579 --> 01:02:36.440
of hunting and fishing so I have killed my own
01:02:36.440 --> 01:02:40.460
food and yeah I agree it doesn't feel powerful
01:02:40.460 --> 01:02:44.400
like even having to bash the fish in so it doesn't
01:02:44.400 --> 01:02:47.559
suffocate and you know suffer like that doesn't
01:02:47.559 --> 01:02:54.079
feel powerful yeah it's more just kind of no
01:02:54.079 --> 01:02:59.219
like it for me at least it's like a weird sense
01:02:59.219 --> 01:03:04.510
of pride in knowing that I am doing a job of
01:03:04.510 --> 01:03:08.429
like the service that is really hard to do. Like
01:03:08.429 --> 01:03:10.510
for people that it's going to be really hard
01:03:10.510 --> 01:03:14.190
for them to be service. So it's more of just
01:03:14.190 --> 01:03:18.489
like, I like being that where I know that I can
01:03:18.489 --> 01:03:22.469
deliver kind of customer service type of thing
01:03:22.469 --> 01:03:27.389
in a really, really. I guess that is really powerful.
01:03:27.510 --> 01:03:30.269
If you think about. But it's also very dark.
01:03:32.889 --> 01:03:36.190
Let's see that. Okay, we're cutting out again,
01:03:36.250 --> 01:03:39.849
but it wasn't too bad. But yeah, like when you
01:03:39.849 --> 01:03:47.030
are... Like if you're hunting. The whole idea
01:03:47.030 --> 01:03:50.510
is you want to have a clean, dignified death.
01:03:50.730 --> 01:03:53.190
You don't want it to suffer. And there is the
01:03:53.190 --> 01:03:55.510
whole thing where suffering does spoil the meat.
01:03:55.730 --> 01:03:59.760
But also... why is that real yes is that true
01:03:59.760 --> 01:04:04.960
yes it that that is true but also just why would
01:04:04.960 --> 01:04:08.320
you want it to suffer in the first place right
01:04:08.320 --> 01:04:13.400
like yeah it's not powerful to kill a puppy it
01:04:13.400 --> 01:04:16.579
like it's humane in certain circumstances yes
01:04:16.579 --> 01:04:22.590
but that's not the same thing no no And then
01:04:22.590 --> 01:04:25.289
we have Jason just going off in his own direction.
01:04:25.289 --> 01:04:28.309
I want to stand up on these two things. And Alex
01:04:28.309 --> 01:04:32.010
is, do you now? Yeah, I mean, he was like, I
01:04:32.010 --> 01:04:34.829
mean, we're not surprised at this point that
01:04:34.829 --> 01:04:37.710
Jason wants to stand on the pillars. We're not
01:04:37.710 --> 01:04:40.829
surprised that Jason wants to hold this particular
01:04:40.829 --> 01:04:44.389
pose over Alex. But it does mean that we get
01:04:44.389 --> 01:04:50.409
the delicious Alex kneeling for 10 minutes. had
01:04:50.409 --> 01:04:55.449
he been doing this this task he he might have
01:04:55.449 --> 01:04:58.369
won it like he moved slightly more than rosie
01:04:58.369 --> 01:05:01.550
did but as greg rightly points out she's leaning
01:05:01.550 --> 01:05:05.309
against the thing but also alex i think alex
01:05:05.309 --> 01:05:07.909
was only moving because he had to keep telling
01:05:07.909 --> 01:05:12.269
jason yeah time time updates because really the
01:05:12.269 --> 01:05:15.809
only thing that moved alex head but again that
01:05:15.809 --> 01:05:18.570
was just because he was he had to talk to jason
01:05:19.179 --> 01:05:23.880
the timekeeping stuff. So anyway, go on AO3 and
01:05:23.880 --> 01:05:28.599
check out P. Willie's newest fic, which is called
01:05:28.599 --> 01:05:34.000
I Need You, but it's K -N -E -E hyphen D. It's
01:05:34.000 --> 01:05:37.860
really good. But yeah, I mean, this is just another
01:05:37.860 --> 01:05:44.460
task that is and we have talked about this before,
01:05:44.619 --> 01:05:50.780
and I always forget what it's called. Situational
01:05:50.780 --> 01:05:53.960
bondage? Predicament bondage. Predicament bondage,
01:05:54.000 --> 01:05:56.840
thank you. I always forget what it's called.
01:05:57.400 --> 01:06:02.500
But yeah, I mean, that's what it is. It's predicament
01:06:02.500 --> 01:06:07.440
bondage. Yeah, it literally is. And then Stevie's
01:06:07.440 --> 01:06:13.599
just, ow. Yeah, I mean, I thought that, honestly,
01:06:13.900 --> 01:06:17.500
Matt... matt's looked more uncomfortable than
01:06:17.500 --> 01:06:19.860
stevie's because at least stevie was kind of
01:06:19.860 --> 01:06:23.119
sitting down yeah but matt like he had his bare
01:06:23.119 --> 01:06:27.500
knee digging into the ground holding him up plus
01:06:27.500 --> 01:06:31.440
the spine twist he said was the worst part yeah
01:06:31.440 --> 01:06:35.079
and holding i'm like oh dude the knee i think
01:06:35.079 --> 01:06:37.039
is what would take me i think the knee would
01:06:37.039 --> 01:06:40.920
take me out and then yeah i mean at like in ed's
01:06:40.920 --> 01:06:43.840
podcast ed even said like i can't even sit in
01:06:43.840 --> 01:06:46.139
one position for one minute and i'm like yeah
01:06:46.139 --> 01:06:50.460
dude like i think ed's only a couple years older
01:06:50.460 --> 01:06:54.840
than me and i'm like i cannot like i used to
01:06:54.840 --> 01:06:58.139
sit cross -legged all the time i had to sit cross
01:06:58.139 --> 01:07:02.480
-legged constantly i can't do it i can't do it
01:07:02.480 --> 01:07:04.840
anymore for for longer than like five minutes
01:07:04.840 --> 01:07:08.619
it's awful could you real quick do me a favor
01:07:08.619 --> 01:07:13.739
go into your on discord your voice and video
01:07:13.739 --> 01:07:20.440
settings yeah and either change your input sensitivity
01:07:20.440 --> 01:07:26.500
or two more or less um because you have me turn
01:07:26.500 --> 01:07:30.019
it down before try turning it up because i've
01:07:30.019 --> 01:07:32.320
done everything i can on my end and you still
01:07:32.320 --> 01:07:35.960
keep dropping out okay is this better well we'll
01:07:35.960 --> 01:07:38.539
see because it tends to happen when you're peaking
01:07:40.909 --> 01:07:43.730
it drops me when i'm peeking so wouldn't it make
01:07:43.730 --> 01:07:46.809
more sense for me to turn it down maybe yeah
01:07:46.809 --> 01:07:50.250
maybe but at the same time like i don't want
01:07:50.250 --> 01:07:52.090
you to turn it too too much down that you're
01:07:52.090 --> 01:07:59.050
not getting picked up at all i'm just kidding
01:08:07.849 --> 01:08:13.570
visual gags for the podcast sorry anybody that's
01:08:13.570 --> 01:08:20.470
not watching this on youtube oh boy anyway and
01:08:20.470 --> 01:08:25.270
then we have um when alex brings out the second
01:08:25.270 --> 01:08:28.050
task like jason already wants to batter him to
01:08:28.050 --> 01:08:30.409
begin with jason's fed up with this guy and then
01:08:30.409 --> 01:08:33.350
alex goes I'm just going to read the second part
01:08:33.350 --> 01:08:37.010
of the task and Jason, son of a bitch. This is
01:08:37.010 --> 01:08:42.090
a disaster. Yeah. Yeah. And then he says like,
01:08:42.189 --> 01:08:45.550
I should have known that there was going to be
01:08:45.550 --> 01:08:48.890
part two. I should, I should have fucking known
01:08:48.890 --> 01:08:52.210
better, which I mean, we've been harping on this
01:08:52.210 --> 01:08:58.489
all series. Yes, you should have known. And then,
01:08:58.510 --> 01:09:02.760
yeah, Greg's. Again, Greg was so offended about
01:09:02.760 --> 01:09:06.500
the puppy. Yeah. I mean, it's a puppy. Yeah.
01:09:07.399 --> 01:09:11.300
I mean, what? Just puppy murder. Why? Like, he
01:09:11.300 --> 01:09:14.439
was surprisingly offended at the needless cat
01:09:14.439 --> 01:09:17.500
murder. And he's been on record about how much
01:09:17.500 --> 01:09:21.220
he doesn't like cats. And now there's a puppy
01:09:21.220 --> 01:09:25.600
murder? What the hell is going on? Yeah. And
01:09:25.600 --> 01:09:28.359
then we had Rosie's with her people in the 80s.
01:09:28.750 --> 01:09:32.909
And, like, I know what she was going for, but
01:09:32.909 --> 01:09:36.250
that was such a weird way to describe what she
01:09:36.250 --> 01:09:40.970
was going for. Yeah. Because, like, I've absolutely
01:09:40.970 --> 01:09:46.470
seen those people at the roller rinks. I mean,
01:09:46.489 --> 01:09:48.789
I don't think I've ever gone to a roller rink.
01:09:49.789 --> 01:09:55.670
The age gap is killing me. More like I was just
01:09:55.670 --> 01:09:58.649
really, really antisocial, so don't know. skate
01:09:58.649 --> 01:10:01.750
and didn't have anyone to go with i'm sorry i
01:10:01.750 --> 01:10:04.109
gotta pull you up you were asocial unless you
01:10:04.109 --> 01:10:09.569
were engaging in criminal behavior okay sure
01:10:09.569 --> 01:10:14.449
it's one of those things whatever you say well
01:10:14.449 --> 01:10:17.930
anti -social has become one of those things where
01:10:17.930 --> 01:10:20.989
like people just you know say it without knowing
01:10:20.989 --> 01:10:25.350
what it's a very different thing and i was just
01:10:25.350 --> 01:10:28.630
so oh oh Exciting news. I finished off Menu.
01:10:29.390 --> 01:10:34.189
Oh, yay. All 300 episodes. So then I was like,
01:10:34.289 --> 01:10:37.689
I'll start listening to John Robbins' podcast
01:10:37.689 --> 01:10:43.189
called How Do You Cope? So I started doing that.
01:10:43.569 --> 01:10:48.510
And he was talking, it was like the second episode
01:10:48.510 --> 01:10:51.670
or something. Somebody was like, yeah, the initials,
01:10:51.670 --> 01:10:53.210
blah, blah, blah. And he's like, those aren't
01:10:53.210 --> 01:10:58.819
acronyms. it's an initial and they were like
01:10:58.819 --> 01:11:00.899
it's an acronym and he's like no here's the difference
01:11:00.899 --> 01:11:07.560
and i was i love him yep that that's another
01:11:07.560 --> 01:11:09.600
one of the ones i i don't tend to call people
01:11:09.600 --> 01:11:11.760
up on that one because whatever common usage
01:11:11.760 --> 01:11:16.239
but the the anti and the asocial very different
01:11:16.239 --> 01:11:19.420
things and one of them needs to be removed from
01:11:19.420 --> 01:11:22.579
the common lexicon so that it can so that it
01:11:22.579 --> 01:11:25.470
can be used property uh properly But anyway,
01:11:25.630 --> 01:11:28.770
the second part of this task, stay completely
01:11:28.770 --> 01:11:33.310
still in your powerful pose for the next 10 minutes.
01:11:34.729 --> 01:11:39.170
Which is a disaster. And yeah, Jason, the exact
01:11:39.170 --> 01:11:42.590
quote. This has got all the hallmarks of there's
01:11:42.590 --> 01:11:46.289
a second task. Yes, it did. Why weren't you paying
01:11:46.289 --> 01:11:51.970
attention? And then we have Matt dying and Fatia
01:11:51.970 --> 01:11:56.199
changing the rules. Just she's not doing this
01:11:56.199 --> 01:11:59.380
task. I don't know what task she's doing. She
01:11:59.380 --> 01:12:01.960
just kept changing positions, chatting with Alex.
01:12:02.239 --> 01:12:07.720
Oh, this is a cute pose, isn't it? And then my
01:12:07.720 --> 01:12:12.060
favorite one is my back hurts, Jason. All right,
01:12:12.140 --> 01:12:17.260
good. He loved that. He was like, yeah, serves
01:12:17.260 --> 01:12:22.199
you fucking right. but yeah like fatty was just
01:12:22.199 --> 01:12:24.479
bored to death while everyone else was losing
01:12:24.479 --> 01:12:28.300
their minds especially jason like you you could
01:12:28.300 --> 01:12:32.079
see him going insane and i i'm pretty sure this
01:12:32.079 --> 01:12:37.960
is actually torture like not to get political
01:12:37.960 --> 01:12:43.600
on the stupid blurbo podcast but there's an active
01:12:43.600 --> 01:12:45.659
court case about this in this country right now
01:12:45.659 --> 01:12:49.250
about literally this It's literally torture.
01:12:49.789 --> 01:12:53.489
So, thanks for that. But again, they didn't have
01:12:53.489 --> 01:12:57.470
to do it. No. Nobody was forcing them to do it.
01:12:57.550 --> 01:13:01.590
As evidenced by Fatia, who just decided not to.
01:13:02.630 --> 01:13:10.069
Yep. But also, so I mentioned this earlier, about,
01:13:10.270 --> 01:13:13.189
I can't remember what brought it up, something
01:13:13.189 --> 01:13:18.229
ages ago, but afterward, Alex's little run to
01:13:18.229 --> 01:13:21.090
help Stevie because he has learned his lesson
01:13:21.090 --> 01:13:26.590
since Sophie nearly drowned. Which, that is one
01:13:26.590 --> 01:13:30.189
of the best things that's ever happened. Sophie
01:13:30.189 --> 01:13:34.789
just, yeah, drowning in a stream and Alex just
01:13:34.789 --> 01:13:37.829
standing there watching her. That was so fun.
01:13:38.850 --> 01:13:45.520
Yeah, like, he's definitely... a freeze on that
01:13:45.520 --> 01:13:49.420
fight flight response if something goes wrong
01:13:49.420 --> 01:13:52.840
and we saw this last week he just blue screen
01:13:52.840 --> 01:13:55.520
of death i can't handle this someone else please
01:13:55.520 --> 01:14:00.399
do it for me so it was nice to see him recognize
01:14:00.399 --> 01:14:03.920
that you know oh i i shouldn't just stand here
01:14:03.920 --> 01:14:06.859
idly watching while you know this person screams
01:14:06.859 --> 01:14:11.340
trying to get down off this pillar yep yeah that
01:14:11.340 --> 01:14:18.369
looks really painful And then I love, apparently,
01:14:18.710 --> 01:14:23.210
Patia called Cliff Richard a prick. Who is that?
01:14:23.729 --> 01:14:29.390
He is a singer. He's about 200 years old, but
01:14:29.390 --> 01:14:31.329
he looks like he's been replaced with plastic.
01:14:33.149 --> 01:14:38.170
I don't know how else to describe this guy. He's
01:14:38.170 --> 01:14:41.069
older than dirt, and he looks like a Ken doll.
01:14:41.689 --> 01:14:49.300
Oh my gosh. And then, yeah, just Alex barely
01:14:49.300 --> 01:14:54.979
moved. Which is, one, hilarious, and two, really
01:14:54.979 --> 01:15:02.220
not surprising. And then we have Greg and Alex
01:15:02.220 --> 01:15:07.600
having a little cuddle. And Alex struggling to
01:15:07.600 --> 01:15:11.180
keep himself together. I'm afraid there's just
01:15:11.180 --> 01:15:14.350
two parts of the final to go. Five mighty competitors.
01:15:14.550 --> 01:15:17.369
But thankfully, when it does end, we still have
01:15:17.369 --> 01:15:22.449
each other. My sweet, sweet friend. And that
01:15:22.449 --> 01:15:24.770
was something that we have been on the lookout
01:15:24.770 --> 01:15:28.170
for a long time. Because it was teased in, like,
01:15:28.210 --> 01:15:31.869
the Channel 4, like... moving pictures thing
01:15:31.869 --> 01:15:34.250
yeah where like all the boxes came together and
01:15:34.250 --> 01:15:37.130
we were like huh what how why is alex sitting
01:15:37.130 --> 01:15:40.569
what's happening yeah what is going on and we
01:15:40.569 --> 01:15:42.909
like didn't find out until this episode and we're
01:15:42.909 --> 01:15:49.289
oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh so happy and
01:15:49.289 --> 01:15:54.130
yeah like i i loved it because what we had thought
01:15:54.130 --> 01:15:58.939
when that bump first aired was that it was going
01:15:58.939 --> 01:16:04.619
to be in direct response to someone, like, making
01:16:04.619 --> 01:16:07.340
Alex sad. Because he does look like he's been
01:16:07.340 --> 01:16:10.979
threatened, or someone said something horrible
01:16:10.979 --> 01:16:14.600
and he needs to be reassured. And it turns out
01:16:14.600 --> 01:16:19.439
that look on his face is because he is... He's
01:16:19.439 --> 01:16:23.039
basically just corpsing, and not hiding it very
01:16:23.039 --> 01:16:30.329
well. And it's also a rare, like, Greg at Alex
01:16:30.329 --> 01:16:33.130
come here moment. Yeah. Because usually it's,
01:16:33.130 --> 01:16:36.390
you know, the other way around. The needy assistant
01:16:36.390 --> 01:16:40.069
being like, please pay attention to me. Which
01:16:40.069 --> 01:16:42.510
is funny because that's literally what last week's
01:16:42.510 --> 01:16:47.670
episode was about. Yeah. So, yeah, that was cute.
01:16:47.930 --> 01:16:53.680
Greg has defeated Fatio with gravel. I'll just
01:16:53.680 --> 01:16:56.279
go up somebody's driveway. Get away from you,
01:16:56.319 --> 01:17:00.939
you crazy woman. So funny. So Fatia got one point.
01:17:01.079 --> 01:17:05.600
Matt got two. Jason got three. And Alex asks,
01:17:05.920 --> 01:17:12.420
are you happy with that, Jason? Fuck no. And
01:17:12.420 --> 01:17:18.880
then Rosie gets four and Stevie gets five. Fantastic
01:17:18.880 --> 01:17:24.340
task. I love it. I love any task that makes the
01:17:24.340 --> 01:17:28.340
cast furious. And this one did that really well.
01:17:30.300 --> 01:17:35.479
And now we get the fast food task. Which, very
01:17:35.479 --> 01:17:42.680
simple. I can't get the full text for it because
01:17:42.680 --> 01:17:46.039
the wiki hasn't been properly filled out yet.
01:17:46.409 --> 01:17:49.789
oh well uh basically provide the best drive -through
01:17:49.789 --> 01:17:52.489
experience and that this was a fairly long task
01:17:52.489 --> 01:17:56.729
but it wasn't necessarily a convoluted one because
01:17:56.729 --> 01:17:58.789
there was just a lot of information that needed
01:17:58.789 --> 01:18:02.149
to be contained or conveyed and it was what um
01:18:02.149 --> 01:18:07.449
accuracy speed and what was the uh third one
01:18:07.449 --> 01:18:16.189
pricing accurate oh no accurate pricing Good
01:18:16.189 --> 01:18:18.869
customer service? I don't know. I can't remember.
01:18:20.310 --> 01:18:27.270
Basically, there were three points, and for one
01:18:27.270 --> 01:18:29.750
team, all three of those points were a nightmare.
01:18:30.510 --> 01:18:34.029
But I wrote down some of what I spotted on the
01:18:34.029 --> 01:18:38.109
menu. Oh, I wrote, I screenshotted all of them,
01:18:38.189 --> 01:18:43.050
so let me tell you what they were. I just wrote
01:18:43.050 --> 01:18:47.380
down the ones that I enjoyed. Okay, mains. Number
01:18:47.380 --> 01:18:50.220
one, warm bread sandwich. Butter on the outside,
01:18:50.560 --> 01:18:56.319
five pounds. Triangle, pentagon, or circle. One
01:18:56.319 --> 01:18:58.979
pound, three pence. One pound, five pence. One
01:18:58.979 --> 01:19:04.840
pound, one. Burnt toast, 250. Toast soldiers,
01:19:05.300 --> 01:19:09.199
740. Can you tell me what are soldiers? Because
01:19:09.199 --> 01:19:12.579
we don't have those in America. So you soft boil
01:19:12.579 --> 01:19:15.279
an egg. And you put it in that little egg cup.
01:19:15.760 --> 01:19:17.899
And then you take off the top. And then you have
01:19:17.899 --> 01:19:19.680
toast that's just cut into strips for dipping
01:19:19.680 --> 01:19:24.140
in the egg. That's cute. Yeah. I like that. I
01:19:24.140 --> 01:19:27.180
don't know why we don't do it here. Because we
01:19:27.180 --> 01:19:30.439
are stupid. It's just kind of a more tactile
01:19:30.439 --> 01:19:33.899
way to eat your toast and eggs. Okay. I like
01:19:33.899 --> 01:19:36.960
that. That's cool. Toast that actually looks
01:19:36.960 --> 01:19:40.359
like soldiers. I love that. Ten pound four pence.
01:19:40.970 --> 01:19:46.029
uh steamed bread 390 so those are the mains the
01:19:46.029 --> 01:19:51.609
sides are 10 ice cubes in a tower 150 that reminds
01:19:51.609 --> 01:19:54.949
me of a black book gag which i don't know if
01:19:54.949 --> 01:19:57.689
you've ever seen this show black books so it's
01:19:57.689 --> 01:20:00.470
an old one unfortunately it's a gram line in
01:20:00.470 --> 01:20:05.270
one but the fact that it stars dylan moran bill
01:20:05.270 --> 01:20:10.630
bailey and shit i can't remember her name Who
01:20:10.630 --> 01:20:15.970
the fuck played Fran? It's Tamsin Gregg. And
01:20:15.970 --> 01:20:21.590
they... It's set in a bookshop where the owner
01:20:21.590 --> 01:20:24.069
does not want to sell books. He does not want
01:20:24.069 --> 01:20:27.890
to have customers. And his co -worker is Bill
01:20:27.890 --> 01:20:32.189
Bailey. Bill Bailey's not really playing a character.
01:20:32.390 --> 01:20:35.340
He's just Bill Bailey, which... I mean, a lot
01:20:35.340 --> 01:20:37.859
of these sitcoms are like that. And on one of
01:20:37.859 --> 01:20:40.079
them, they decide that in order to make more
01:20:40.079 --> 01:20:44.319
money, they need to become a restaurant. And
01:20:44.319 --> 01:20:47.920
they're working out of Bernard's disgusting kitchen,
01:20:48.020 --> 01:20:54.579
which at one point, he's trying to figure out
01:20:54.579 --> 01:20:56.739
what to make. He just takes all the knobs off
01:20:56.739 --> 01:20:59.880
of his oven and throws them into soup. While
01:20:59.880 --> 01:21:02.720
screaming at Manny to make a tower of soup. Because
01:21:02.720 --> 01:21:04.840
in fancy restaurants everything is served in
01:21:04.840 --> 01:21:09.319
a tower. And the soup is just tomato soup. And
01:21:09.319 --> 01:21:12.060
eventually Manny turns around with a plate of
01:21:12.060 --> 01:21:15.619
congealed tomato soup. And it's like all wobbly
01:21:15.619 --> 01:21:18.539
and slightly like off. And it's just not good
01:21:18.539 --> 01:21:20.680
enough. And Bernard throws it across the room.
01:21:21.300 --> 01:21:23.720
Oh my gosh. I love this show. It's one of my
01:21:23.720 --> 01:21:29.369
favorite shows. So. Yeah, when there was a tower
01:21:29.369 --> 01:21:32.949
of ice cubes, it's like, that's a fucking Dylan
01:21:32.949 --> 01:21:38.890
Moran joke right there. Right. So, yeah, so we've
01:21:38.890 --> 01:21:41.649
got 10 ice cubes in a tower. We've got a small
01:21:41.649 --> 01:21:45.369
flower castle with a moat for 99p. We've got
01:21:45.369 --> 01:21:49.550
homemade confetti for 125. And then for drinks,
01:21:49.569 --> 01:21:53.600
we have... So we have small, medium, and drizzle.
01:21:53.939 --> 01:21:57.479
I love that. Small is $2 .50. Medium is $3 .50.
01:21:57.560 --> 01:22:03.319
Drizzle is $99. So you can have still milk, dirty
01:22:03.319 --> 01:22:08.640
water, chewy milk, or fizzy milk. Like, of all
01:22:08.640 --> 01:22:13.399
of those, like, chewy milk is probably cheese.
01:22:15.079 --> 01:22:19.880
Fizzy milk. That implies that you're... putting
01:22:19.880 --> 01:22:22.840
carbon dioxide into it which instantly makes
01:22:22.840 --> 01:22:31.640
the milk go sour i mean my family lore drop here
01:22:31.640 --> 01:22:34.800
because i never talk about my brother but i have
01:22:34.800 --> 01:22:38.539
a brother little known fact we never we talk
01:22:38.539 --> 01:22:41.060
like twice a year on each other's birthdays and
01:22:41.060 --> 01:22:44.359
that's pretty much it but when he was a kid when
01:22:44.359 --> 01:22:48.010
we were kids he would He would his favorite drink
01:22:48.010 --> 01:22:51.970
was what he called milk and soda. And he was
01:22:51.970 --> 01:22:55.210
very particular about it was half and half milk
01:22:55.210 --> 01:22:57.470
and soda. And it was usually like diet Pepsi,
01:22:57.569 --> 01:22:59.470
I think, because that's usually what my dad had
01:22:59.470 --> 01:23:03.729
in the fridge. But it was milk and soda. And
01:23:03.729 --> 01:23:07.710
if you put the soda in first, he refused to drink.
01:23:08.069 --> 01:23:11.029
It had it couldn't be soda and milk. It had to
01:23:11.029 --> 01:23:15.770
be. And I tried it like once just to be like,
01:23:15.850 --> 01:23:18.310
what is the hype about this? And it was disgusting.
01:23:18.930 --> 01:23:22.409
And I was like, I don't understand why he likes
01:23:22.409 --> 01:23:24.770
this. Then you kind of think about it and like,
01:23:24.789 --> 01:23:28.630
you can do like root beer floats type of thing.
01:23:28.770 --> 01:23:33.250
You know, like that's dairy and soda in a way.
01:23:33.390 --> 01:23:36.729
So like I kind of understood it, but I was also
01:23:36.729 --> 01:23:41.409
like, no, like I don't really like soda. I like
01:23:41.409 --> 01:23:43.850
root beer. That's the only kind of soda I really
01:23:43.850 --> 01:23:47.390
like. If I have to drink soda, it's going to
01:23:47.390 --> 01:23:48.989
be root beer or it's going to be something orange.
01:23:49.670 --> 01:23:53.850
Otherwise, I'm not. I'll chug skim milk forever.
01:23:54.909 --> 01:23:58.630
And people will continue to yell at me. I'll
01:23:58.630 --> 01:24:01.609
just drink. I mean, not these days because I'm
01:24:01.609 --> 01:24:03.550
an adult and I have to buy my own milk and that's
01:24:03.550 --> 01:24:07.430
expensive. But like, yeah, he would just drink
01:24:07.430 --> 01:24:09.369
milk and soda. And so when they were like, fizzy
01:24:09.369 --> 01:24:13.390
milk. I remember what that tastes like. No, thank
01:24:13.390 --> 01:24:16.789
you. And then Rosie just dumping the dirt in
01:24:16.789 --> 01:24:21.090
the water was so funny. Dirty water. Okay. And
01:24:21.090 --> 01:24:24.470
then you were talking about fizzy milk when I
01:24:24.470 --> 01:24:27.850
was a kid. And this is going to sound a lot like
01:24:27.850 --> 01:24:34.010
an Alex Horne story, but we were, there was a
01:24:34.010 --> 01:24:37.270
period of time where my aunt lived with us because
01:24:37.270 --> 01:24:40.890
she had just broken her hip. after falling off
01:24:40.890 --> 01:24:44.350
of one of my mother's untrained horses. And we
01:24:44.350 --> 01:24:49.529
lived in this mobile home up on a hill, just
01:24:49.529 --> 01:24:52.050
out in the middle of nowhere. It was my mom,
01:24:52.050 --> 01:24:58.930
my aunt, my two cousins, and then I believe it
01:24:58.930 --> 01:25:01.510
was me and two of my siblings at that point.
01:25:01.649 --> 01:25:06.779
Yeah, because there had been a divorce. And my
01:25:06.779 --> 01:25:09.819
dad's kids from his first marriage just kind
01:25:09.819 --> 01:25:14.840
of left the picture with him. So there was a
01:25:14.840 --> 01:25:18.239
night where my mother was, I don't know what
01:25:18.239 --> 01:25:21.119
she was doing, but there was a house full of
01:25:21.119 --> 01:25:25.140
kids. And my aunt was still bedridden at that
01:25:25.140 --> 01:25:28.039
point. So she was kind of having to take care
01:25:28.039 --> 01:25:31.420
of everything, and she said, I'll make some macaroni
01:25:31.420 --> 01:25:34.760
and cheese. Kids like macaroni and cheese, but
01:25:34.760 --> 01:25:37.619
we didn't have any in the house. But we did have,
01:25:37.659 --> 01:25:41.739
like, dry macaroni noodles, and I don't know
01:25:41.739 --> 01:25:48.720
what she did. It came out blue, and it just tasted
01:25:48.720 --> 01:25:52.619
sour. It was the most disgusting thing, and then
01:25:52.619 --> 01:25:55.909
once it cooled, It had all congealed into this
01:25:55.909 --> 01:26:00.949
big just thing of rubber. So when I saw chewy
01:26:00.949 --> 01:26:04.170
milk, that's what my mind thought of was just
01:26:04.170 --> 01:26:09.510
really nasty cheese. To this day, I don't know
01:26:09.510 --> 01:26:12.329
why it turned blue. And it wasn't like that kind
01:26:12.329 --> 01:26:14.970
of blue that like sometimes like mozzarella will
01:26:14.970 --> 01:26:18.430
get if it's not good mozzarella. It was blue.
01:26:21.550 --> 01:26:23.829
To this day, I don't know what she tried to feed
01:26:23.829 --> 01:26:34.069
us. No one ate it. No surprise. Good times. Yeah.
01:26:36.210 --> 01:26:41.189
Disgusting milk and cheese stories. Yeah. So
01:26:41.189 --> 01:26:45.069
the last thing that I screenshot was the instructions
01:26:45.069 --> 01:26:50.829
on the till. Yes. So the instructions say. Note,
01:26:50.909 --> 01:26:54.029
this till works in pence. Do not use decimal
01:26:54.029 --> 01:26:57.090
points. So before I read what else is on, can
01:26:57.090 --> 01:27:00.649
we just shout out Jason for like running a till
01:27:00.649 --> 01:27:04.590
with money he doesn't normally handle? So, holy
01:27:04.590 --> 01:27:07.170
shit. I've got a lot to say about Jason. I've
01:27:07.170 --> 01:27:10.569
also got a lot to say about the till. Okay, so
01:27:10.569 --> 01:27:14.550
let me. Okay. Okay, so let me, so there's six
01:27:14.550 --> 01:27:19.390
steps to the till. Type price. Press for drink
01:27:19.390 --> 01:27:23.970
slash main slash side, etc. Press confirm. Input
01:27:23.970 --> 01:27:27.729
cash amount given. Press cash drawer. Give change.
01:27:30.229 --> 01:27:33.529
I've never worked a till. So I would have been
01:27:33.529 --> 01:27:36.890
baffled by this. So here's some deep lore. I
01:27:36.890 --> 01:27:41.529
did once work at a Burger King. I was fired within
01:27:41.529 --> 01:27:44.329
the first fortnight. Which is probably not a
01:27:44.329 --> 01:27:48.750
surprise to anybody who knows me. But... Like,
01:27:48.750 --> 01:27:53.409
yeah, I've used a fast food till in just just
01:27:53.409 --> 01:27:55.890
that, you know, barely two weeks that I worked
01:27:55.890 --> 01:28:00.489
there. That's how it works. And it doesn't matter
01:28:00.489 --> 01:28:02.409
that this is in British pounds, because what
01:28:02.409 --> 01:28:05.649
it means is that if it's, you know, seven dollars,
01:28:05.770 --> 01:28:08.750
50 or seven pounds, 50, you just type in 750
01:28:08.750 --> 01:28:14.390
because that's 750 pence. So you put you put
01:28:14.390 --> 01:28:17.470
in the price and then you tell it. basically
01:28:17.470 --> 01:28:21.489
what inventory you're you're doing and then you
01:28:21.489 --> 01:28:24.770
there's just a series of key presses and it will
01:28:24.770 --> 01:28:27.850
tally it all for you and it will tell you how
01:28:27.850 --> 01:28:30.569
much money you know you need and then you put
01:28:30.569 --> 01:28:32.970
in how much money they give you and then it tells
01:28:32.970 --> 01:28:34.930
you how much money to give back like it does
01:28:34.930 --> 01:28:39.970
the whole thing for you so Matt having a complete
01:28:39.970 --> 01:28:43.829
meltdown, which we'll also get to. Well, to be
01:28:43.829 --> 01:28:47.890
fair to him, would you really trust that Alex
01:28:47.890 --> 01:28:51.310
slash the team would have input the correct amount
01:28:51.310 --> 01:28:55.729
of money into those predetermined buttons? Well,
01:28:55.729 --> 01:28:57.529
because those buttons don't do anything with
01:28:57.529 --> 01:29:01.810
the price. The buttons are for inventory. Oh,
01:29:01.829 --> 01:29:04.250
okay. So I guess that didn't really matter. Yeah.
01:29:04.270 --> 01:29:06.550
Because they weren't... Meant to keep track of
01:29:06.550 --> 01:29:08.529
it. Because, yeah, like you put in the price
01:29:08.529 --> 01:29:10.890
and then you put in, you know, whether it's a
01:29:10.890 --> 01:29:16.010
side, a main, a snack, a drink or whatever. And
01:29:16.010 --> 01:29:19.350
it will know that, OK, well, this price corresponds
01:29:19.350 --> 01:29:24.250
with this side. And so it like it doesn't really
01:29:24.250 --> 01:29:27.470
need to know that it's, you know, exactly this.
01:29:27.510 --> 01:29:29.510
It just knows that we've sold this many sides
01:29:29.510 --> 01:29:33.630
at this price point. And so that makes inventory
01:29:33.630 --> 01:29:36.029
later easier, but that's just how the till works.
01:29:36.869 --> 01:29:41.310
But also I put down that this task, this is one
01:29:41.310 --> 01:29:45.470
where it seems like it is intentionally unfair.
01:29:46.149 --> 01:29:50.550
Like the team of three should theoretically have
01:29:50.550 --> 01:29:52.689
an easier time because there's three stations.
01:29:52.850 --> 01:29:56.710
And then we watch it play out. I mean, the way
01:29:56.710 --> 01:30:00.050
that Alex was like, I can't. believe we're about
01:30:00.050 --> 01:30:02.510
to see this team of three absolutely crush the
01:30:02.510 --> 01:30:06.029
team like very clearly that is not what's about
01:30:06.029 --> 01:30:09.770
to happen i mean it is soon as fatia asked matt
01:30:09.770 --> 01:30:13.510
can you count and the way he's like responded
01:30:13.510 --> 01:30:18.029
to that yeah like uh someone in the chat suggested
01:30:18.029 --> 01:30:22.170
that he might be dyscalculic dyscalculic which
01:30:22.170 --> 01:30:25.829
i i i relate to that i'm horrible i can't do
01:30:25.829 --> 01:30:30.689
numbers um as we saw recently when i put completely
01:30:30.689 --> 01:30:34.550
the wrong time in because i just could not read
01:30:34.550 --> 01:30:38.609
the times the way youtube presents them and so
01:30:38.609 --> 01:30:40.630
we we streamed a very different time to what
01:30:40.630 --> 01:30:44.029
it said said it would but like yeah that was
01:30:44.029 --> 01:30:47.270
a panic response to me that he was asked to do
01:30:47.270 --> 01:30:51.909
a thing and like his brain never considered that
01:30:51.909 --> 01:30:54.840
he was allowed to say no because Rosie had already
01:30:54.840 --> 01:30:57.319
said I'll do food, so he had felt backed into
01:30:57.319 --> 01:31:00.840
it probably. And he even said on the podcast
01:31:00.840 --> 01:31:04.939
that he was doing it all on his phone. And it's
01:31:04.939 --> 01:31:07.199
like, well, that's what the register is for.
01:31:07.479 --> 01:31:11.500
And basically, I get the feeling that Fathia
01:31:11.500 --> 01:31:14.119
and Jason were the only ones who have actually
01:31:14.119 --> 01:31:19.890
ever worked fast food. Yeah. Oh, also, it's fast
01:31:19.890 --> 01:31:23.329
service, accurate pricing, great food. There
01:31:23.329 --> 01:31:25.409
we go. Okay. I knew it was something like that.
01:31:26.569 --> 01:31:30.449
But, like, before we even get into it, what's
01:31:30.449 --> 01:31:35.170
a Pentagon? And then Fatia was apparently the
01:31:35.170 --> 01:31:37.630
only person on that team who had heard of THE
01:31:37.630 --> 01:31:44.359
Pentagon. But... It did seem like, initially.
01:31:44.720 --> 01:31:49.060
Also, did you clock that Rosie drew a pentagon?
01:31:49.159 --> 01:31:54.939
Yes. For fuck's sake. I mean, I can kind of get
01:31:54.939 --> 01:31:56.659
that if you've never learned what a pentagon
01:31:56.659 --> 01:32:01.979
is. But how do you not? How do you go into school,
01:32:02.060 --> 01:32:05.560
primary school, I guess, and not learn basic
01:32:05.560 --> 01:32:09.720
shit? Like, pent you know is five. Rosie, please
01:32:09.720 --> 01:32:12.619
tell me you know that Pentameter 5... Especially
01:32:12.619 --> 01:32:15.760
because I don't know if this is the case now,
01:32:15.979 --> 01:32:21.399
but, like, a certain amount of Latin, at least
01:32:21.399 --> 01:32:24.420
at one point, was part of the national curriculum.
01:32:25.000 --> 01:32:29.199
Yeah. But also what they could have just done...
01:32:29.500 --> 01:32:31.979
It didn't say that it had, I forget the word
01:32:31.979 --> 01:32:34.460
for it, but you know, the one where all the sides
01:32:34.460 --> 01:32:36.800
and angles are the same. It didn't say that it
01:32:36.800 --> 01:32:39.239
had to be that kind of pentagon. If you cut off
01:32:39.239 --> 01:32:43.520
a corner, it's still five sides. That's true.
01:32:44.020 --> 01:32:49.520
All you need is five sides. And then we have
01:32:49.520 --> 01:32:54.119
a line at Fatia. Be nice to everyone who comes.
01:32:55.180 --> 01:32:58.460
And then, like, the first thing she says through
01:32:58.460 --> 01:33:02.479
the radio is, shut up, I'm with a customer. And
01:33:02.479 --> 01:33:07.260
what I wrote down for this is, I don't know if
01:33:07.260 --> 01:33:10.439
you'll get this reference, and maybe one viewer
01:33:10.439 --> 01:33:19.739
will, but JV were an extremely rural Burgerville
01:33:19.739 --> 01:33:22.840
run by one of those couples that's just a little
01:33:22.840 --> 01:33:26.789
too friendly. Whereas the team of three were
01:33:26.789 --> 01:33:31.010
the 3 a .m. shift at a jack -in -the -box in
01:33:31.010 --> 01:33:39.390
a rough part of town. Yep. 100%. Yeah. Yep. Yep.
01:33:39.529 --> 01:33:43.050
Yeah, J .V. Marzoukas was like your southern
01:33:43.050 --> 01:33:48.930
cooking hometown. So up here we have Burgerville.
01:33:50.439 --> 01:33:53.380
You're probably too far south to know what this
01:33:53.380 --> 01:33:56.180
is. It's basically our in and out. Burgerville?
01:33:56.399 --> 01:33:58.579
Yeah. Yeah, we don't have Burgerville. It's basically
01:33:58.579 --> 01:34:02.100
our internet or in and out, except it's got charm
01:34:02.100 --> 01:34:05.319
and it doesn't have the subliminal Bible bashing
01:34:05.319 --> 01:34:10.039
messaging. Like, it's pretty mid. People from
01:34:10.039 --> 01:34:12.100
here are supposed to worship it the way people
01:34:12.100 --> 01:34:14.359
in California are supposed to worship in and
01:34:14.359 --> 01:34:18.899
out. I mean, it's all right. But, yeah, it's
01:34:18.899 --> 01:34:21.100
just one of those really wholesome local chains
01:34:21.100 --> 01:34:26.739
that would absolutely behave like that in certain
01:34:26.739 --> 01:34:31.020
areas of the state. Mm -hmm. Yep. But, yeah,
01:34:31.060 --> 01:34:34.579
basically, JV just fucking got onto it. They
01:34:34.579 --> 01:34:38.399
had a rough patch at the beginning. And it didn't
01:34:38.399 --> 01:34:41.920
help that Alex kept changing his order and...
01:34:42.270 --> 01:34:44.510
just stevie just instantly having a breakdown
01:34:44.510 --> 01:34:47.689
but even while she was struggling she was doing
01:34:47.689 --> 01:34:51.350
something and as we have discussed to death doing
01:34:51.350 --> 01:34:55.090
something is what what wins tasks yeah i mean
01:34:55.090 --> 01:35:00.210
she very quickly quickly was like i'm gonna have
01:35:00.210 --> 01:35:02.989
a breakdown yeah and i was so nervous for her
01:35:02.989 --> 01:35:05.130
because i really wanted them to do surprised
01:35:05.130 --> 01:35:08.470
at how well they did like jason i don't want
01:35:08.470 --> 01:35:12.090
to say that jason carried it but like because
01:35:12.090 --> 01:35:15.949
stevie did do a lot of work but jason was fucking
01:35:15.949 --> 01:35:19.470
on top of it like he was running between both
01:35:19.470 --> 01:35:23.750
stations and doing all of it and like a great
01:35:23.750 --> 01:35:27.529
host holy shit but also like so we get another
01:35:27.529 --> 01:35:31.130
andy c cameo which we love him and we get another
01:35:31.130 --> 01:35:34.010
member of the crew i don't know if we know that
01:35:34.010 --> 01:35:36.350
i don't know her name either but she's been in
01:35:36.350 --> 01:35:40.180
a couple of tasks this season yeah yeah But,
01:35:40.199 --> 01:35:43.800
yeah, I love... Maybe I'll ask the Andes, like...
01:35:43.800 --> 01:35:49.619
What's her name? Who that is. Yeah. We'll get
01:35:49.619 --> 01:35:53.500
her on the pod. Yes. But, yeah, I love how Jason
01:35:53.500 --> 01:35:56.399
just decides, okay, the way that we fix this
01:35:56.399 --> 01:35:59.979
is to just slow down, just start bullshitting
01:35:59.979 --> 01:36:02.579
with them, you know, tell them the local... It
01:36:02.579 --> 01:36:05.560
was so smart. Yeah. Tell them the story of this
01:36:05.560 --> 01:36:08.949
little local restaurant and... What I loved was
01:36:08.949 --> 01:36:12.930
that Stevie picked up on that and started doing
01:36:12.930 --> 01:36:16.270
the same thing. She was repeating the exact order
01:36:16.270 --> 01:36:20.090
to everyone. She was talking slowly and she was
01:36:20.090 --> 01:36:22.630
just slowing things down so that they didn't
01:36:22.630 --> 01:36:25.989
really clock, I guess, how long they'd been waiting.
01:36:26.149 --> 01:36:30.810
And it was perfect. And yeah, it was just pure
01:36:30.810 --> 01:36:37.699
local restaurant chain energy. It was really
01:36:37.699 --> 01:36:43.340
good. It was really impressive. It was, yeah.
01:36:43.560 --> 01:36:46.960
Like, I did not expect them to do this task well
01:36:46.960 --> 01:36:49.720
at all. I expected this to be a clusterfuck.
01:36:50.119 --> 01:36:55.720
And instead, like, I won't say that it turned
01:36:55.720 --> 01:36:58.199
into a big nothing because it was very entertaining
01:36:58.199 --> 01:37:01.699
to watch, especially watching Jason juggle two
01:37:01.699 --> 01:37:06.890
different stations. While Stevie, she made a
01:37:06.890 --> 01:37:10.430
few mistakes, but like they, it went really well
01:37:10.430 --> 01:37:14.109
for them. Yeah. And then every time she did make
01:37:14.109 --> 01:37:16.409
a mistake, she was like, I'm so sorry. I'll be
01:37:16.409 --> 01:37:18.369
right back. And then, you know, she'd go and
01:37:18.369 --> 01:37:23.149
like, even I think, I think, and I don't think
01:37:23.149 --> 01:37:25.810
this was on the printed menus that we saw, but
01:37:25.810 --> 01:37:29.189
Alex was like, oh, I asked for like extra gluten.
01:37:29.329 --> 01:37:31.529
Yeah. And she was like, oh, I'll be right back.
01:37:31.609 --> 01:37:36.439
And she cut. flag for the castle yeah it looked
01:37:36.439 --> 01:37:39.479
like it was out of bread crust yeah she had cut
01:37:39.479 --> 01:37:42.680
out a little flag out of bread and put it into
01:37:42.680 --> 01:37:47.520
the middle of the flower castle like that i didn't
01:37:47.520 --> 01:37:50.380
really catch the first time like why she did
01:37:50.380 --> 01:37:52.199
that and then the second time i watched it i
01:37:52.199 --> 01:37:54.479
was it's a little flag for like the top of the
01:37:54.479 --> 01:37:57.300
castle it was brilliant that's really smart that's
01:37:57.300 --> 01:38:01.569
really smart yeah i was really impressed with
01:38:01.569 --> 01:38:03.750
those two and then the fucking team of three
01:38:03.750 --> 01:38:07.270
was just a hot fucking mess well for first i've
01:38:07.270 --> 01:38:10.109
got a couple of notes greg called it classy as
01:38:10.109 --> 01:38:14.010
fuck the show classy as fuck the show yeah yeah
01:38:14.010 --> 01:38:17.670
and then yeah alex doesn't know how to cry which
01:38:17.670 --> 01:38:20.229
greg had just accused him of crying every night
01:38:20.229 --> 01:38:24.050
when he went to the bed but also i think i feel
01:38:24.050 --> 01:38:27.609
like i've heard somewhere maybe in an interview
01:38:27.609 --> 01:38:30.050
that alex has done or something that like he
01:38:30.050 --> 01:38:34.189
he actually like really doesn't cry yeah no like
01:38:34.189 --> 01:38:40.810
it's it's it's pretty much a thing um david mitchell
01:38:40.810 --> 01:38:43.909
has also talked about this i think it was in
01:38:43.909 --> 01:38:47.630
one of his books about how he doesn't think he's
01:38:47.630 --> 01:38:51.689
cried since he was about 12 but he also acknowledges
01:38:51.689 --> 01:38:55.430
that if he could it would probably fix him And
01:38:55.430 --> 01:38:57.689
it's like, that's one of the most relatable things
01:38:57.689 --> 01:39:01.930
this man has ever said. And then, yeah, like,
01:39:01.970 --> 01:39:04.750
we get into the team of three, and Fatia was
01:39:04.750 --> 01:39:08.510
the only one who knew what she was doing. And,
01:39:08.590 --> 01:39:12.970
like... Weirdly. Yeah. Because I think Ed pointed
01:39:12.970 --> 01:39:16.909
this out in his, that, yeah, we had Jason, or
01:39:16.909 --> 01:39:20.189
not Jason, Matt, scrambling around trying to
01:39:20.189 --> 01:39:23.279
get everything ready. for himself, which we just
01:39:23.279 --> 01:39:26.119
realized was, you know, pointless because he
01:39:26.119 --> 01:39:29.939
still didn't know what he was doing. And Fatia
01:39:29.939 --> 01:39:33.319
and Rosie were arguing over what the fuck a Pentagon
01:39:33.319 --> 01:39:36.560
is. And then the first thing we hear from Fatia
01:39:36.560 --> 01:39:42.279
is shut up over the radio. But yeah, like Matt
01:39:42.279 --> 01:39:47.479
went totally silent. He just froze. No acknowledgement
01:39:47.479 --> 01:39:51.569
to Alex. Just, you know, no, no, one moment here.
01:39:51.810 --> 01:39:55.630
And immediately the line backs up because Matt
01:39:55.630 --> 01:39:59.909
can't count. Rosie can't - Also, did not clock
01:39:59.909 --> 01:40:02.729
the giant sign at the front of the Taskmaster
01:40:02.729 --> 01:40:07.270
house that said pick up here. Yes. Like, Matt
01:40:07.270 --> 01:40:13.250
was just - He brought the task down pretty much
01:40:13.250 --> 01:40:15.109
single -handedly. Rosie didn't know what the
01:40:15.109 --> 01:40:19.079
fuck she was doing. But - Matt's the reason why
01:40:19.079 --> 01:40:21.979
they got instantly backed up and had to rush
01:40:21.979 --> 01:40:25.100
to find a scooter or something. I would love
01:40:25.100 --> 01:40:28.199
to know more backstory to that. Like, what was
01:40:28.199 --> 01:40:33.920
the scooter a pre -thought -out contingency?
01:40:34.819 --> 01:40:41.939
I don't think it was because they said they weren't
01:40:41.939 --> 01:40:47.979
because they said that I forget where I heard
01:40:47.979 --> 01:40:50.979
this. Was it in the episode or was it in an hour?
01:40:51.079 --> 01:40:54.600
But they were like, we definitely didn't plan
01:40:54.600 --> 01:40:57.239
to do that. So I think they probably just had
01:40:57.239 --> 01:41:00.220
to run in the shed on a scooter and just be like,
01:41:00.680 --> 01:41:04.859
uh, here you go. And then we have a quote from
01:41:04.859 --> 01:41:13.000
Rosie that's just, what is a moat? See, there
01:41:13.000 --> 01:41:16.279
was a guy I met in college who told me he didn't
01:41:16.279 --> 01:41:20.300
know what a dragon was and i was like fully did
01:41:20.300 --> 01:41:23.680
not believe him and he kept insisting to me he
01:41:23.680 --> 01:41:28.680
didn't know what i was talking about i've lost
01:41:28.680 --> 01:41:30.779
you entirely there i don't know what this what
01:41:30.779 --> 01:41:35.939
this audio is doing it's funny because we i am
01:41:35.939 --> 01:41:40.680
begging you to pick up my fucking voice You goddamn
01:41:40.680 --> 01:41:43.680
son of a bitch. Well, it's funny because we do
01:41:43.680 --> 01:41:46.920
voice chats off camera fairly regularly. This
01:41:46.920 --> 01:41:50.319
only happens when we're live. Are you not picking
01:41:50.319 --> 01:41:52.720
me up at all? Yeah, you just cut out completely.
01:41:54.079 --> 01:41:56.979
It's like, this is a boring ass story. Shut the
01:41:56.979 --> 01:42:03.539
fuck up. Jesus Christ. Okay, never mind. Never
01:42:03.539 --> 01:42:08.180
mind. But like, Fatia was just completely the
01:42:08.180 --> 01:42:12.060
shift manager. She was barking at people, telling
01:42:12.060 --> 01:42:14.380
them what to do, telling them how much they sucked.
01:42:15.060 --> 01:42:17.899
And, yeah, it was just 3 a .m. at Jack in the
01:42:17.899 --> 01:42:21.760
Box energy. Which, if you've never been to a
01:42:21.760 --> 01:42:24.079
Jack in the Box at 3 a .m., and if you're not
01:42:24.079 --> 01:42:27.840
from the States, their entire model is that they
01:42:27.840 --> 01:42:30.460
don't make it until you order it. And you will
01:42:30.460 --> 01:42:33.979
be sat in that drive -thru line for a half hour
01:42:33.979 --> 01:42:36.970
waiting for your meal. And you go there knowing
01:42:36.970 --> 01:42:39.550
this. It is not a surprise that they take for
01:42:39.550 --> 01:42:45.869
fucking ever. Like, it's a good model. I like
01:42:45.869 --> 01:42:49.869
that they do that. And they've been having these
01:42:49.869 --> 01:42:53.109
for a while. That's what the munchy meals are
01:42:53.109 --> 01:42:57.520
supposed to be. doing for them to kind of offset
01:42:57.520 --> 01:43:00.560
that time because like oh here's something that
01:43:00.560 --> 01:43:03.340
got made accidentally or we have all of this
01:43:03.340 --> 01:43:07.239
extra shit that you know nobody picked up so
01:43:07.239 --> 01:43:11.560
just cobble it all together and call it a meal
01:43:11.560 --> 01:43:14.920
yeah and they used to be a lot better they're
01:43:14.920 --> 01:43:21.220
really boring now but yeah just what was it andy
01:43:21.220 --> 01:43:23.439
that ordered the burnt toast and then said fuck
01:43:23.439 --> 01:43:27.439
this Yeah, he fucks right off. He did. He was
01:43:27.439 --> 01:43:29.239
like, I don't fucking have time to wait around.
01:43:30.079 --> 01:43:33.220
I mean, I wouldn't wait that long for some burnt
01:43:33.220 --> 01:43:36.100
toast either. That took, what was it, 16 minutes?
01:43:36.100 --> 01:43:39.880
16 minutes. Incredible. To burn toast. I've burnt
01:43:39.880 --> 01:43:44.319
toast in 30 seconds. It's not hard. Skill issue.
01:43:45.020 --> 01:43:48.579
Total skill issue. And that was another thing
01:43:48.579 --> 01:43:51.960
that JV did really well was they recognized we're
01:43:51.960 --> 01:43:54.729
making fast food. this shit's all prepared in
01:43:54.729 --> 01:43:58.189
advance. Yeah. Like, figure out what they're
01:43:58.189 --> 01:44:00.829
likely to order and start making it in advance.
01:44:01.109 --> 01:44:03.609
And that really helped them. That was really
01:44:03.609 --> 01:44:07.250
smart. And then Greg called Matt a stoner, which,
01:44:07.329 --> 01:44:10.949
I mean, yeah, that definitely fits into their
01:44:10.949 --> 01:44:14.789
energy. Because Matt said that he was using his
01:44:14.789 --> 01:44:17.699
phone. To tot it all up. Which is funny because
01:44:17.699 --> 01:44:20.699
he'd also taken the screenshots. So he must have
01:44:20.699 --> 01:44:22.800
been going back and forth between the screenshots
01:44:22.800 --> 01:44:31.779
and the calculator. Yep. Which. Yep. Like I get
01:44:31.779 --> 01:44:34.180
where he was coming from. Yeah. But also like
01:44:34.180 --> 01:44:35.779
in the heat of the moment that would have been
01:44:35.779 --> 01:44:39.079
a nightmare. But like the way Jason was doing
01:44:39.079 --> 01:44:42.560
it. was exactly how it needed to be done because
01:44:42.560 --> 01:44:47.340
he was you know saying each item out loud and
01:44:47.340 --> 01:44:49.260
then i think he was also saying the price even
01:44:49.260 --> 01:44:51.159
though that didn't matter because he was telling
01:44:51.159 --> 01:44:54.220
it to himself and he did get the price wrong
01:44:54.220 --> 01:44:57.800
a couple of times but that didn't matter where
01:44:57.800 --> 01:44:59.680
matt seemed to think that this whole thing was
01:44:59.680 --> 01:45:04.750
going to hinge on accurate prices and that's
01:45:04.750 --> 01:45:07.449
that's what again i i get where he was coming
01:45:07.449 --> 01:45:10.649
from but like you there's no really way to predict
01:45:10.649 --> 01:45:14.170
whether that's gonna be what they actually are
01:45:14.170 --> 01:45:17.050
yeah because i mean he's definitely a fan of
01:45:17.050 --> 01:45:20.649
the show and he definitely came on here all try
01:45:20.649 --> 01:45:22.729
hard energy i don't care what he said on the
01:45:22.729 --> 01:45:27.010
podcast like everyone from series three there
01:45:27.010 --> 01:45:29.760
was no question that matt was winning this He
01:45:29.760 --> 01:45:32.000
ran away with it, which I think is why we didn't
01:45:32.000 --> 01:45:35.039
see too many league table scores. Because at
01:45:35.039 --> 01:45:38.979
a certain point, it's just like, eh, cool, he's
01:45:38.979 --> 01:45:44.100
winning still. There was no competition. Yeah.
01:45:44.180 --> 01:45:47.760
So yeah, the wait times, the team of two had
01:45:47.760 --> 01:45:51.720
a 31 second wait time, which is frankly phenomenal
01:45:51.720 --> 01:45:55.800
for some of the absolute bullshit that they had
01:45:55.800 --> 01:46:01.079
on the menu. Team of two, two minutes 41. And
01:46:01.079 --> 01:46:05.939
awful. Yeah. Especially considering one person
01:46:05.939 --> 01:46:11.479
fucked off. Yeah. So that gave the team of two,
01:46:11.560 --> 01:46:13.939
five points, the team of three, three points.
01:46:14.479 --> 01:46:19.640
And I think, I think Ed mentioned this, that
01:46:19.640 --> 01:46:24.500
Greg's getting soft. Yeah, they did not deserve
01:46:24.500 --> 01:46:30.000
three points. No. They did not. I'd have maybe
01:46:30.000 --> 01:46:33.859
given them two. That was an omni shambles. Just
01:46:33.859 --> 01:46:40.880
not good. No. And then we've got this live task,
01:46:41.100 --> 01:46:45.899
and I feel like this is, we saw a couple of images
01:46:45.899 --> 01:46:48.560
that got, you know, posted, stroked, leaked.
01:46:49.180 --> 01:46:51.119
I don't know when they turned up, but we were
01:46:51.119 --> 01:46:55.140
analyzing a few images before the episode started.
01:46:55.520 --> 01:46:58.760
And Matt trying to bite his carrot was one of
01:46:58.760 --> 01:47:01.960
them. And then Amanda and I were analyzing the
01:47:01.960 --> 01:47:06.300
one with the dog to try to find it. Yeah. But,
01:47:06.300 --> 01:47:14.579
yes. Is this the bit where Greg calls Alex his
01:47:14.579 --> 01:47:17.520
faithful, featureless little sausage dog, or
01:47:17.520 --> 01:47:21.909
does that come later? I can't remember. I've
01:47:21.909 --> 01:47:24.090
written it down. I know that. I think it may
01:47:24.090 --> 01:47:26.430
have been right before they announced the final
01:47:26.430 --> 01:47:29.890
scores. So, yeah. I needed to make sure we brought
01:47:29.890 --> 01:47:33.630
them. Yes. Get the most carrot in your bucket.
01:47:33.670 --> 01:47:36.369
You must hold your hands behind your back at
01:47:36.369 --> 01:47:39.090
all times. Which nobody did. Yeah, this is what
01:47:39.090 --> 01:47:42.510
we were just talking about. Rules just get chucked
01:47:42.510 --> 01:47:45.970
out because, well, it didn't affect the task.
01:47:46.609 --> 01:47:48.930
Like the one, there's one in series four where
01:47:48.930 --> 01:47:51.350
they have to get the water from one fishbowl
01:47:51.350 --> 01:47:54.869
to another without touching the fishbowls. And
01:47:54.869 --> 01:47:57.789
they had to narrate in the third person throughout,
01:47:58.090 --> 01:48:02.289
which Joe didn't do. And I think Hugh was really
01:48:02.289 --> 01:48:04.649
pissed off about that. But as Greg rightly pointed
01:48:04.649 --> 01:48:09.359
out, narrating it wasn't integral. And I think
01:48:09.359 --> 01:48:11.619
the way Greg had interpreted that was, if you
01:48:11.619 --> 01:48:14.159
are speaking, you must do it in the third person.
01:48:14.859 --> 01:48:20.220
Yeah. That's a concern. There's either sand or
01:48:20.220 --> 01:48:27.460
breadcrumbs. So, yeah. Click it and find out.
01:48:30.159 --> 01:48:32.180
You're never going to get over Desiree eating
01:48:32.180 --> 01:48:38.600
sand. So gross. But yeah, so holding your hands
01:48:38.600 --> 01:48:41.760
behind your back, that just immediately tossed
01:48:41.760 --> 01:48:44.760
out because it didn't matter. No one was cheating
01:48:44.760 --> 01:48:47.659
anyway, which that's what that kind of rule is
01:48:47.659 --> 01:48:50.880
supposed to be doing. Yeah. And like, I mean,
01:48:50.880 --> 01:48:53.319
had Rosie adhered to that, she'd have fallen
01:48:53.319 --> 01:48:58.159
on her face. Yeah. And then... I think, let me,
01:48:58.260 --> 01:49:03.300
I think Amanda summed it up really well in the
01:49:03.300 --> 01:49:36.750
group chat. Yeah, Amanda said... Yeah. I put
01:49:36.750 --> 01:49:40.810
down, Jason bullies it into working. Yeah. Which
01:49:40.810 --> 01:49:47.170
is basically what he did. Yeah. And then we had,
01:49:47.229 --> 01:49:51.449
yeah, Stevie, just probably this is what Alex
01:49:51.449 --> 01:49:54.409
had expected them to do, was that she was biting
01:49:54.409 --> 01:49:57.350
off pieces and spitting it into the bucket, which
01:49:57.350 --> 01:50:01.510
Matt followed. And then we had Rosie. She dropped
01:50:01.510 --> 01:50:04.479
hers and wound up licking it off the floor. And
01:50:04.479 --> 01:50:09.100
this will be how the next pandemic starts. She
01:50:09.100 --> 01:50:13.460
was literally licking the floor. Yeah, she sure
01:50:13.460 --> 01:50:19.840
was. I mean, there's that task in Series 10 with
01:50:19.840 --> 01:50:25.659
the watermelons, which, I mean, everyone said
01:50:25.659 --> 01:50:28.659
COVID came from Wuhan. I think COVID came from
01:50:28.659 --> 01:50:31.340
the watermelon task. And the next one's going
01:50:31.340 --> 01:50:33.979
to come from Rosie licking the floor. That was
01:50:33.979 --> 01:50:40.100
disgusting. Yep. And what did I put? This will
01:50:40.100 --> 01:50:43.279
be how the, yeah. Oh yeah. I just said that.
01:50:43.300 --> 01:50:46.739
Okay. But so yeah, like, I mean, they all got
01:50:46.739 --> 01:50:49.060
it done. I didn't write it down, but I knew that
01:50:49.060 --> 01:50:53.479
I'd have it right here where Fatia. Yeah. Got
01:50:53.479 --> 01:50:58.500
one point. Rosie got two. Jason got three. Stevie
01:50:58.500 --> 01:51:05.300
got four. And. matt got three stevie got four
01:51:05.300 --> 01:51:09.380
and jason got five just because yeah yep and
01:51:09.380 --> 01:51:12.159
yeah this is where we favorite featureless sausage
01:51:12.159 --> 01:51:15.840
dog faithful featureless little sausage faithful
01:51:15.840 --> 01:51:19.720
i heard favorite yeah it was faithful okay but
01:51:19.720 --> 01:51:23.319
let's talk about this total points upset let's
01:51:23.319 --> 01:51:26.500
do it yeah because i this was this brought me
01:51:26.500 --> 01:51:30.979
closer to what my original it did lineup was
01:51:30.979 --> 01:51:33.220
going to be and i was very happy with I think
01:51:33.220 --> 01:51:40.960
I just wanted to switch around Matt with Jason.
01:51:41.300 --> 01:51:47.060
I forget. I wasn't expecting this at all. I thought
01:51:47.060 --> 01:51:51.779
Stevie would come in first. In episode one, I
01:51:51.779 --> 01:51:54.359
was predictions. I was like, Stevie's going to
01:51:54.359 --> 01:51:56.500
come in first. She comes in second. Not bad.
01:51:57.479 --> 01:51:59.880
And then I was like, Jason's going to come in
01:51:59.880 --> 01:52:03.199
second. Yeah. And I was like, Jason's going to
01:52:03.199 --> 01:52:06.479
come in second. He came in third. And then I
01:52:06.479 --> 01:52:09.899
think I put, I think I put Fatiha at the bottom.
01:52:10.260 --> 01:52:15.699
So I really just needed to switch Matt and. But
01:52:15.699 --> 01:52:18.840
yeah, like this was a disaster for both Fatiha
01:52:18.840 --> 01:52:22.359
and Rosie. Yeah. She really went down. Rosie
01:52:22.359 --> 01:52:25.100
did. Yeah. Cause she, she was in second for nearly
01:52:25.100 --> 01:52:27.869
the whole thing. which I still never sat down
01:52:27.869 --> 01:52:29.750
to do the maths because it's a lot of maths.
01:52:29.890 --> 01:52:32.970
And like Matt, I don't know how to count. So,
01:52:33.050 --> 01:52:38.670
but like, we all knew Matt was going to win.
01:52:38.829 --> 01:52:42.609
That was a foregone conclusion. But like, I can't
01:52:42.609 --> 01:52:44.970
believe how much this one episode changed the
01:52:44.970 --> 01:52:48.550
entire scoreboard, which shows how close it was
01:52:48.550 --> 01:52:52.229
for everyone. Like it's only Matt that was pulling
01:52:52.229 --> 01:52:56.899
ahead. And the fact that it had been, solidly
01:52:56.899 --> 01:53:00.659
consistent for most of, if not the entire series.
01:53:00.880 --> 01:53:02.720
Because we've been saying for weeks that the
01:53:02.720 --> 01:53:06.600
scoreboard hasn't moved. Yeah. And all of a sudden,
01:53:06.659 --> 01:53:10.159
it's in a totally different order. Yeah, that
01:53:10.159 --> 01:53:14.060
was wild. And that is what it takes. Just one
01:53:14.060 --> 01:53:17.760
bad episode can absolutely fuck you. And the
01:53:17.760 --> 01:53:20.439
fact that it was a bad episode for both Fatia
01:53:20.439 --> 01:53:28.779
and Rosie is astonishing. And if you remember
01:53:28.779 --> 01:53:34.420
Nick and he gave a prediction numbers wise, his
01:53:34.420 --> 01:53:38.119
prediction was there will be six ones and one
01:53:38.119 --> 01:53:42.699
six. And he was correct. He was correct. Pretty
01:53:42.699 --> 01:53:46.880
impressive. Yeah. See, I never got into the numerology
01:53:46.880 --> 01:53:51.439
for obvious reasons. Right. Yeah. I just can't
01:53:51.439 --> 01:53:54.689
get my head around them. But like. It's always
01:53:54.689 --> 01:53:58.430
been a branch of magic that has fascinated me.
01:53:59.529 --> 01:54:02.909
Probably because I don't know how it works. Like,
01:54:02.930 --> 01:54:05.029
I could do the card magic. I could do the coin
01:54:05.029 --> 01:54:09.789
magic. I did big props. I was really good at
01:54:09.789 --> 01:54:14.670
the patter. But the coins, or rather the numbers,
01:54:14.770 --> 01:54:18.609
just baffle me. And I know there's a way that
01:54:18.609 --> 01:54:21.640
it works. And I know that it's a very logical
01:54:21.640 --> 01:54:25.380
way. And it's tied to the way that hot reading
01:54:25.380 --> 01:54:29.579
works. Or, sorry, cold reading. It's a totally
01:54:29.579 --> 01:54:32.619
different method. But it's tied to that in a
01:54:32.619 --> 01:54:38.420
way that I just don't understand. Yeah. So, yeah,
01:54:38.460 --> 01:54:44.159
his predictions came true. And so, and Ed had
01:54:44.159 --> 01:54:49.279
met on the podcast. And they did. Ed did bring
01:54:49.279 --> 01:54:52.800
up fanfiction. Yes. Again, because they obviously
01:54:52.800 --> 01:54:56.680
had to talk about the thought process behind
01:54:56.680 --> 01:55:01.500
the yogurt task, which I'm glad that we got more
01:55:01.500 --> 01:55:07.619
of, because, I mean, what the fuck? Matt trying
01:55:07.619 --> 01:55:11.659
to act like that task wasn't filth. Yeah. And
01:55:11.659 --> 01:55:16.119
then, yeah, Ed was like, I mean, you know, there's
01:55:16.119 --> 01:55:19.279
a certain, you know. group of the fandom out
01:55:19.279 --> 01:55:22.020
there that like you know i mean you basically
01:55:22.020 --> 01:55:24.439
just like wrote the fan fiction for them so that
01:55:24.439 --> 01:55:28.739
they don't need to write it's on video he's not
01:55:28.739 --> 01:55:32.920
wrong he's not wrong i mean there have been fics
01:55:32.920 --> 01:55:36.300
but at the same time oh yeah he's not wrong no
01:55:36.300 --> 01:55:39.359
yeah and then we get matt snogging the trophy
01:55:39.359 --> 01:55:44.840
oh my gosh let's talk about this uh a time -honored
01:55:44.840 --> 01:55:48.680
tradition of making out with trophy no matter
01:55:48.680 --> 01:55:54.420
what uh country your taskmaster is in that's
01:55:54.420 --> 01:55:58.199
what you do with the trophy also like have we
01:55:58.199 --> 01:56:01.460
talked about have we talked about jeremy wells
01:56:01.460 --> 01:56:09.199
making out with with who jeremy wells the yeah
01:56:09.199 --> 01:56:11.060
i know that but i didn't hear anything after
01:56:11.060 --> 01:56:14.060
jeremy wells have we talked about him making
01:56:14.060 --> 01:56:18.329
out with his own Oh, with his own trophy? Yeah.
01:56:18.470 --> 01:56:21.090
I don't think so. Yeah, it's because you haven't
01:56:21.090 --> 01:56:25.510
watched it yet. Spoilers. But go watch the rest
01:56:25.510 --> 01:56:29.750
of New Zealand because it's, like, Jeremy, we
01:56:29.750 --> 01:56:31.869
always say, and I feel so bad, but, like, he's
01:56:31.869 --> 01:56:34.630
so boring, right? But, like, at the very end
01:56:34.630 --> 01:56:40.500
of the most recent series... the last like three
01:56:40.500 --> 01:56:42.560
seconds is just him making out with his trophy
01:56:42.560 --> 01:56:45.659
and then it just and it's like and i'm like wait
01:56:45.659 --> 01:56:47.960
wait wait where has this behavior been all this
01:56:47.960 --> 01:56:51.760
time come back what are you doing jesus christ
01:56:51.760 --> 01:56:57.260
but matt making out with the trophy i mean is
01:56:57.260 --> 01:57:01.000
so so many contestants have done it go back and
01:57:01.000 --> 01:57:05.279
watch it because he really goes like he's like
01:57:05.279 --> 01:57:09.720
an open mouth open mouth kissing like making
01:57:09.720 --> 01:57:12.640
out with it while he's high -fiving the whole
01:57:12.640 --> 01:57:16.539
cast and then and then at the very end he like
01:57:16.539 --> 01:57:21.039
goes up for breath like his tongue is all the
01:57:21.039 --> 01:57:24.939
way out like jesus christ and then finally putting
01:57:24.939 --> 01:57:28.340
the cherry on top wiping off his lips with the
01:57:28.340 --> 01:57:32.100
back of his hand and be woo and i'm like My guy,
01:57:32.279 --> 01:57:35.800
this is how you do it. This is how you win Taskmaster,
01:57:36.140 --> 01:57:39.039
and this is how you celebrate doing it, because
01:57:39.039 --> 01:57:44.539
holy shit, that tongue action. It's such a weirdly
01:57:44.539 --> 01:57:51.439
horny show. Understatement of the century. Because,
01:57:51.739 --> 01:57:54.699
like, I've been watching panel shows for fucking
01:57:54.699 --> 01:57:59.159
ever, and there's always an amount of homoeroticism.
01:57:59.800 --> 01:58:02.680
like it's just baked into the format at this
01:58:02.680 --> 01:58:06.880
point yeah this one particular this this show
01:58:06.880 --> 01:58:10.920
just it's like they forget they're on television
01:58:10.920 --> 01:58:15.399
sometimes well i think matt definitely oh my
01:58:15.399 --> 01:58:18.180
god because like quite a few times he forgot
01:58:18.180 --> 01:58:21.340
he was on television yeah and then he had too
01:58:21.340 --> 01:58:24.560
much of himself on television yeah which i i
01:58:24.560 --> 01:58:28.060
know it's a joke that a lot of them were needlessly
01:58:28.060 --> 01:58:36.880
blurred At the same time. Sir. Short, short,
01:58:36.960 --> 01:58:44.020
short, short, shorts. So, I've got a few things
01:58:44.020 --> 01:58:47.800
that are vaguely related to this before we talk
01:58:47.800 --> 01:58:52.899
about the next cast. But, I believe series 20
01:58:52.899 --> 01:58:57.640
will be the final series filmed at Pinewood.
01:58:58.300 --> 01:59:01.119
yeah do we think they're going to do anything
01:59:01.119 --> 01:59:05.039
like to beyond the little animation that they've
01:59:05.039 --> 01:59:07.760
already posted on instagram but like on the show
01:59:07.760 --> 01:59:10.539
proper do you think they're going to acknowledge
01:59:10.539 --> 01:59:13.979
the move to television center i mean they might
01:59:13.979 --> 01:59:17.520
do i know that they had they at this at the episode
01:59:17.520 --> 01:59:23.420
10 taping of series 20 which amanda went to oh
01:59:23.420 --> 01:59:26.760
that's right yeah went to but Amanda was saying
01:59:26.760 --> 01:59:31.760
that they did a little speech about it at the
01:59:31.760 --> 01:59:33.020
end of the show. Yeah, and Alex got choked up.
01:59:33.899 --> 01:59:38.039
Yeah. So I'm not sure they might reference it.
01:59:38.180 --> 01:59:40.699
They might not. I don't know. We'll see, I guess.
01:59:43.399 --> 01:59:46.520
There's a lot of context here where it's just
01:59:46.520 --> 01:59:51.310
not really worth going into. but yeah like the
01:59:51.310 --> 01:59:53.270
long and short of it is this isn't their first
01:59:53.270 --> 01:59:55.770
studio but they have been at pinewood for a long
01:59:55.770 --> 02:00:01.270
time i think since like series six maybe even
02:00:01.270 --> 02:00:05.149
earlier than that so yeah like pine pinewood
02:00:05.149 --> 02:00:09.890
has been their home for a long time and television
02:00:09.890 --> 02:00:13.050
center has had some ups and downs but it looks
02:00:13.050 --> 02:00:15.920
like that's where they're moving everything back
02:00:15.920 --> 02:00:17.840
to which is good because you know like making
02:00:17.840 --> 02:00:24.100
people go out to slough for a filming like it's
02:00:24.100 --> 02:00:27.159
every time i hear people going out there like
02:00:27.159 --> 02:00:30.140
the transport situation is needlessly complicated
02:00:30.140 --> 02:00:33.340
right so being right in the middle of london
02:00:33.340 --> 02:00:38.319
where you can actually get to like i feel like
02:00:38.319 --> 02:00:40.880
that needed to happen a while ago It's unfortunate
02:00:40.880 --> 02:00:43.180
that it's happening under the circumstances that
02:00:43.180 --> 02:00:45.979
it is, which is, for those of you who don't know,
02:00:46.479 --> 02:00:49.899
Pinewood is going back to exclusively being a
02:00:49.899 --> 02:00:55.939
studio for film. And then this is another thing
02:00:55.939 --> 02:01:00.539
that's come up, is that someone on Instagram
02:01:00.539 --> 02:01:07.840
suggested to Stevie that she and Jason go on
02:01:07.840 --> 02:01:11.720
Big Fat Quiz together. And neither of them know
02:01:11.720 --> 02:01:14.539
what this show is, but they both want to do it.
02:01:14.579 --> 02:01:19.079
And apparently Stevie's manager doesn't like
02:01:19.079 --> 02:01:23.039
this idea. Yeah. And it's like, I don't know
02:01:23.039 --> 02:01:27.720
why. Because Big Fat Quiz is such a fucking event.
02:01:28.279 --> 02:01:32.539
And this team have already proven to be amazingly
02:01:32.539 --> 02:01:38.039
popular with panel show fans. I need them on
02:01:38.039 --> 02:01:42.079
the quiz. I need Jason being confronted with
02:01:42.079 --> 02:01:45.199
the fact that he doesn't know any of the news
02:01:45.199 --> 02:01:48.140
that they're talking about. And frankly, I don't
02:01:48.140 --> 02:01:53.180
think Stevie will either. Yeah. I needs it. Please.
02:01:53.279 --> 02:01:55.579
Yeah. I need, I need more of them together because
02:01:55.579 --> 02:01:58.720
they were such a good team. Let them go on the
02:01:58.720 --> 02:02:02.760
quiz together. Do it. It's one of the best moments.
02:02:04.000 --> 02:02:06.920
Of the year. And there's a reason why it's called
02:02:06.920 --> 02:02:09.680
the big fat quiz. Because people. It's enormous.
02:02:10.060 --> 02:02:17.720
It's a deal. Okay. Now let's get. On to what
02:02:17.720 --> 02:02:23.020
we know. About series 20. So it's been filmed.
02:02:23.039 --> 02:02:27.579
As we just mentioned. Our friend Amanda. Has
02:02:27.579 --> 02:02:32.710
gone to the taping. And. I think this is a testament
02:02:32.710 --> 02:02:39.989
to. To this show, like in general, like the fandom,
02:02:40.109 --> 02:02:43.270
the fact that we know that she went and that
02:02:43.270 --> 02:02:46.649
we do have information from that taping, but
02:02:46.649 --> 02:02:49.770
none of it was really spoilery. Like people are
02:02:49.770 --> 02:02:54.869
so good. And the fact that I had been under the
02:02:54.869 --> 02:03:00.350
impression. That the series 20. cast had leaked
02:03:00.350 --> 02:03:05.449
after filming because i'm fairly certain someone
02:03:05.449 --> 02:03:10.489
gave me a cast list yeah i i got a cast list
02:03:10.489 --> 02:03:16.369
but it wasn't but it wasn't these five oh was
02:03:16.369 --> 02:03:19.729
it not not the one that i got i think the one
02:03:19.729 --> 02:03:21.550
i got was these five and i was like yeah i don't
02:03:21.550 --> 02:03:28.989
know any because i got The list that I got, one
02:03:28.989 --> 02:03:31.369
of the Demetrius was on it. I can't remember
02:03:31.369 --> 02:03:35.729
which one. And that was the only name that I
02:03:35.729 --> 02:03:39.470
vaguely knew. And I was like, huh, interesting.
02:03:39.569 --> 02:03:42.050
So when I saw Maisie Adam pop up, I was like,
02:03:42.149 --> 02:03:46.010
oh, that's a surprise. And then Reese Shearsmith.
02:03:46.649 --> 02:03:50.050
And that was the moment I realized I had been
02:03:50.050 --> 02:03:53.550
given a bad list. Because I would have absolutely
02:03:53.550 --> 02:03:58.520
remembered Reese Shearsmith. Because he is Steve
02:03:58.520 --> 02:04:02.020
Pemberton's comedy partner. Okay. And he also
02:04:02.020 --> 02:04:06.319
doesn't really do panel shows. And to me, getting
02:04:06.319 --> 02:04:11.819
Reese Shearsmith on this, I think, signals a
02:04:11.819 --> 02:04:15.859
few things. One, it's not really seen as much
02:04:15.859 --> 02:04:19.739
of a panel show the way other ones are. And two,
02:04:19.859 --> 02:04:25.720
it has risen above being a panel show. That people
02:04:25.720 --> 02:04:28.300
who don't normally do these are coming on. Because,
02:04:28.359 --> 02:04:32.279
yeah, like, if you thought Steve was insane,
02:04:32.680 --> 02:04:40.920
holy shit. Like, Reese is mad. Absolutely bonkers.
02:04:41.140 --> 02:04:47.760
He was the one who had... There were two insane...
02:04:47.760 --> 02:04:50.659
I mean... all of legal gentlemen was to a degree
02:04:50.659 --> 02:04:53.500
controversial which was part of the point of
02:04:53.500 --> 02:04:57.380
league of gentlemen i would say that reese had
02:04:57.380 --> 02:05:02.020
the most controversial character which is a character
02:05:02.020 --> 02:05:05.159
called papa lazaru and go ahead and google that
02:05:05.159 --> 02:05:09.680
for me real quick because i cannot tell you in
02:05:09.680 --> 02:05:12.260
words why this character is controversial oh
02:05:12.260 --> 02:05:17.279
boy yes so he looks like he's in minstrel blackface
02:05:18.510 --> 02:05:23.069
The thing is, he's not. He's a demon. That's
02:05:23.069 --> 02:05:30.569
just what he looks like. And he's kind of in
02:05:30.569 --> 02:05:36.810
charge of this roaming circus that's just populated
02:05:36.810 --> 02:05:41.250
with people that are either themselves demons
02:05:41.250 --> 02:05:44.729
or people who have been kidnapped by them. And
02:05:44.729 --> 02:05:48.810
what he does is he... goes into town wearing
02:05:48.810 --> 02:05:51.729
the disguise of, you know, someone who looks
02:05:51.729 --> 02:05:55.310
like Reese Shearsmith. So he puts makeup on over
02:05:55.310 --> 02:06:00.310
what appears to be, you know, minstrel blackface.
02:06:01.390 --> 02:06:04.869
And, like, it's a very shocking character. And,
02:06:04.890 --> 02:06:07.829
like, there are people who fucking hate Papa
02:06:07.829 --> 02:06:13.210
Lazarus. Mm -hmm. I can see that. I can see how
02:06:13.210 --> 02:06:17.949
that would work. It's something. But holy shit,
02:06:18.149 --> 02:06:22.470
like, it's one of his best characters. He has
02:06:22.470 --> 02:06:26.569
some of the most recognizable lines. Whereas
02:06:26.569 --> 02:06:30.289
Steve Pemberton's most controversial character,
02:06:30.430 --> 02:06:33.609
I believe, I don't think it's unfair to say this,
02:06:33.689 --> 02:06:39.689
was Barbara, who... I can't remember the language
02:06:39.689 --> 02:06:43.609
that was used, but it's an old enough show that
02:06:43.609 --> 02:06:47.310
transvestite would have been... more the more
02:06:47.310 --> 02:06:50.229
common vernacular so basically she's a trans
02:06:50.229 --> 02:06:53.609
woman she's very out about the fact she's trans
02:06:53.609 --> 02:06:56.729
to the point that she just gives too much information
02:06:56.729 --> 02:06:59.850
she forgets that when you're in your taxi driving
02:06:59.850 --> 02:07:03.750
someone around you you can't really talk about
02:07:03.750 --> 02:07:06.109
how you're starting to lose sensation in your
02:07:06.109 --> 02:07:10.989
balls i mean not with that attitude You can do
02:07:10.989 --> 02:07:13.989
whatever you want. People really hate Barbara
02:07:13.989 --> 02:07:17.329
as well because, yeah, she's very in your face.
02:07:17.609 --> 02:07:21.829
And she goes through her surgical transition
02:07:21.829 --> 02:07:26.489
throughout the course of the show. And, again,
02:07:26.630 --> 02:07:29.250
people fucking love her or hate her. I adore
02:07:29.250 --> 02:07:33.109
Barbara just because she gives no fucks. And
02:07:33.109 --> 02:07:35.770
the thing that I really love about her is that
02:07:35.770 --> 02:07:41.119
the locals of Royston Vasey, nobody gives any
02:07:41.119 --> 02:07:47.239
fucks either that is barbara like everyone acknowledges
02:07:47.239 --> 02:07:49.720
that she's barbara she's a woman it doesn't matter
02:07:49.720 --> 02:07:53.020
whether she's pre or post -op that's just you
02:07:53.020 --> 02:07:57.000
know how things are and i if i'm remembering
02:07:57.000 --> 02:08:02.920
this right her surgeon cancels last minute and
02:08:02.920 --> 02:08:08.630
this is like the big joke is that It's implied
02:08:08.630 --> 02:08:12.189
that her surgery is botched because the person
02:08:12.189 --> 02:08:19.270
who replaces it is a veterinarian who has a bloodline
02:08:19.270 --> 02:08:27.590
curse. League of Gentlemen is psychological horror
02:08:27.590 --> 02:08:32.779
comedy. It's really good. So, yeah, like, that's
02:08:32.779 --> 02:08:35.840
kind of the big punchline. And it's not even
02:08:35.840 --> 02:08:39.659
about her being trans. It's about the situation
02:08:39.659 --> 02:08:45.739
that she's being subjected to being under the
02:08:45.739 --> 02:08:50.460
knife of Mr. Chinnery, who, holy shit. I mean,
02:08:50.479 --> 02:08:53.960
this is a character that causes massive giraffe
02:08:53.960 --> 02:08:58.170
spunk. At one point, just spraying all over a
02:08:58.170 --> 02:09:04.409
group of people. It's a show. Okay. Yeah. And
02:09:04.409 --> 02:09:07.569
then I haven't, unfortunately, really watched
02:09:07.569 --> 02:09:11.569
Psychoville or Inside No. 9. But they also did
02:09:11.569 --> 02:09:15.350
those together. And, like, they're on the same
02:09:15.350 --> 02:09:20.069
level. So, yeah. Get ready. Should be interesting.
02:09:20.409 --> 02:09:24.800
Oh, it's gonna be fun. And then... I know I've
02:09:24.800 --> 02:09:27.880
heard of Phil Ellis. I can't think of where I've
02:09:27.880 --> 02:09:32.560
seen him. I know I've seen Sanjeev Bhaskar on
02:09:32.560 --> 02:09:36.300
a few of the other panel shows. And I don't know
02:09:36.300 --> 02:09:42.460
who Anya Magliano is. Yeah, I don't know any
02:09:42.460 --> 02:09:47.380
of them. Yep. So, should be good. Maisie Adam
02:09:47.380 --> 02:09:51.380
is fucking insane as well. I did listen to Maisie's
02:09:52.010 --> 02:09:56.770
episode on off menu because i listened to all
02:09:56.770 --> 02:10:00.069
of off menu and i was like oh okay she seems
02:10:00.069 --> 02:10:04.770
fun she's on qi a lot i can't remember if she
02:10:04.770 --> 02:10:12.289
was on last one laughing um basically the most
02:10:12.289 --> 02:10:14.850
recognizable feature about her is that she has
02:10:14.850 --> 02:10:21.319
bad haircuts and For a long time, it was completely
02:10:21.319 --> 02:10:25.119
shaved, except for the fringe and, like, some
02:10:25.119 --> 02:10:30.060
bits around her ears. And now it just looks like
02:10:30.060 --> 02:10:34.180
she let a three -year -old do it. But, like,
02:10:34.180 --> 02:10:36.560
that's her whole thing. Bad haircuts, and I love
02:10:36.560 --> 02:10:41.720
it. She doesn't care. It's fantastic. Oh, my
02:10:41.720 --> 02:10:45.380
God, these explosions. They can go away. Yeah.
02:10:45.479 --> 02:10:54.189
So it looks like... So it looks like one contestant
02:10:54.189 --> 02:10:59.010
is in their 20s, which is Anya. Maisie Adam is
02:10:59.010 --> 02:11:04.029
in her 30s. Phil Ellison is in his 40s. Reese
02:11:04.029 --> 02:11:09.670
is in his 50s. And Sanjeev is in his 60s. So
02:11:09.670 --> 02:11:12.789
that's funny that their ages even correspond
02:11:12.789 --> 02:11:16.869
with their order on the lineup. Interesting.
02:11:16.869 --> 02:11:19.399
Yeah. And then we have Alex in the portrait.
02:11:21.399 --> 02:11:25.359
Which... That was amazing. I can't believe it
02:11:25.359 --> 02:11:29.100
took 20... It took 20 series for him to show
02:11:29.100 --> 02:11:35.720
up in a portrait. And... Where is it? Queer Old
02:11:35.720 --> 02:11:41.039
Dad on Tumblr did an American Gothic of Greg
02:11:41.039 --> 02:11:47.170
and Alex before we got the reveal. of the picture
02:11:47.170 --> 02:11:55.409
so that's we were like that meme like pointing
02:11:55.409 --> 02:12:00.989
like oh my friend did this first i mean not not
02:12:00.989 --> 02:12:03.569
technically because the painting would have been
02:12:03.569 --> 02:12:06.970
commissioned beforehand but we didn't know about
02:12:06.970 --> 02:12:10.369
it until now so that's exciting so go check out
02:12:10.369 --> 02:12:13.770
their art because it's really good love it love
02:12:13.770 --> 02:12:17.390
it love it love it love it yes Now, we have had
02:12:17.390 --> 02:12:21.210
some requests to go back to the very beginning
02:12:21.210 --> 02:12:28.069
and do recaps of Taskmaster. Well, I think now
02:12:28.069 --> 02:12:29.789
that we're streaming them, that's a lot more
02:12:29.789 --> 02:12:33.909
feasible. Well, yes. But just so people know,
02:12:34.090 --> 02:12:36.689
it might not happen because I'm still moving
02:12:36.689 --> 02:12:41.010
into this and we're both very tired. Yes. There
02:12:41.010 --> 02:12:45.619
may be a small break in the schedule. Yeah, and
02:12:45.619 --> 02:12:50.840
I'm also going to Poland on the 20th until August.
02:12:51.159 --> 02:12:56.000
So what we're probably going to do is take ourselves
02:12:56.000 --> 02:12:59.680
a couple weeks off so that we can get everything
02:12:59.680 --> 02:13:06.880
squared away. Because, like, I think people in
02:13:06.880 --> 02:13:11.380
the chat know this. I have been not in a good
02:13:11.380 --> 02:13:15.470
place lately. Like, my depression has been kicking
02:13:15.470 --> 02:13:19.069
my ass. Like, bipolar. Zero out of ten. Don't
02:13:19.069 --> 02:13:24.329
recommend. And we've had some life events within
02:13:24.329 --> 02:13:28.670
the team. Nothing bad, actually. A lot of good
02:13:28.670 --> 02:13:32.630
life events, I think. Maybe I won't say nothing
02:13:32.630 --> 02:13:36.510
bad, but mostly good life events. So, we've had
02:13:36.510 --> 02:13:41.399
some restructuring in... who's active on the
02:13:41.399 --> 02:13:43.699
team and who's doing what roles. So we need to
02:13:43.699 --> 02:13:47.420
take some time off to get everything just smoothed
02:13:47.420 --> 02:13:50.000
out and organized. And with the end of Series
02:13:50.000 --> 02:13:52.260
19, this feels like a good place to do it. So
02:13:52.260 --> 02:13:56.880
we'll probably be back a couple weeks, maybe
02:13:56.880 --> 02:13:58.920
a month, but we've got some excellent things
02:13:58.920 --> 02:14:03.979
coming up. We have... Well, we've got the Andes
02:14:03.979 --> 02:14:07.590
coming up. Yep, we've got the Andes, we've got
02:14:07.590 --> 02:14:10.909
Jack Bernhardt, we've got Ben Reynolds. Yeah.
02:14:11.510 --> 02:14:16.869
And then, let me see, we have... This might fuck
02:14:16.869 --> 02:14:21.270
up. You might be black for a second. That's fine.
02:14:24.949 --> 02:14:27.130
Okay, and then the other one, we just haven't
02:14:27.130 --> 02:14:31.029
got a date, so we won't mention that just yet.
02:14:33.609 --> 02:14:35.850
But there's, yeah, there's some cool stuff coming
02:14:35.850 --> 02:14:38.189
up. And we want to make sure that everything
02:14:38.189 --> 02:14:44.149
is going out as well, as best as it could. I
02:14:44.149 --> 02:14:47.689
unfortunately didn't notice because I did last
02:14:47.689 --> 02:14:51.949
week's episode on like three hours of sleep after
02:14:51.949 --> 02:14:55.270
not sleeping all week. It was horrible. And I
02:14:55.270 --> 02:14:57.529
didn't, I completely forgot to do the intros
02:14:57.529 --> 02:14:59.510
and outros and to fix the music. So I apologize
02:14:59.510 --> 02:15:03.960
for that. We need some sleep. We sure do. Yeah,
02:15:03.979 --> 02:15:08.960
so a little bit of a break, but we're not going
02:15:08.960 --> 02:15:12.600
away for very long. We just need to get everyone
02:15:12.600 --> 02:15:15.000
back on the same page and get everyone rested
02:15:15.000 --> 02:15:18.560
because it's a lot of work. It is a lot of work.
02:15:19.060 --> 02:15:23.359
So much work. But we will be back very shortly
02:15:23.359 --> 02:15:27.909
with some really good stuff on the horizon. Thank
02:15:27.909 --> 02:15:30.369
you for your support. Thank you for watching.
02:15:30.449 --> 02:15:33.369
Don't forget to check out our Patreon where we
02:15:33.369 --> 02:15:37.829
have posts for you to submit questions for the
02:15:37.829 --> 02:15:41.630
Q &As. We do want to release these more wide
02:15:41.630 --> 02:15:45.770
to people on our social media, but we need to
02:15:45.770 --> 02:15:49.729
hammer out our social media strategy a bit better
02:15:49.729 --> 02:15:54.250
than what we've got now because it's hard. And
02:15:54.250 --> 02:15:57.760
we're learning. We're learning as we go. Yep.
02:15:57.899 --> 02:16:02.020
Anyway. It's been a long time. I'm tired. You're
02:16:02.020 --> 02:16:05.159
probably tired. Yep. Take care of yourselves.
02:16:05.539 --> 02:16:07.199
Bye. Bye.
