So, let's crack on. Series 12, Episode 5, with David Correos.
Welcome, David, to the Taskmaster podcast. Hello. Hello, Ed. Thank you so much for having me on. It is an absolute joy and a pleasure to have you on the Taskmaster
podcast. For those people that don't know, David is a contestant in Taskmaster New Zealand
Series 2, which has just finished finished and is a hugely popular show in
New Zealand and then also in the UK
somehow and I don't know how
and I couldn't possibly reference how people
are watching it but you are an extremely
popular contestant on that and we've had a lot of
requests to get you on the show David
Oh that's been really lovely, I'm sorry man
it's really like
messing with my brain because I've heard
I've heard you say the top, that top bit
so many times on the podcast.
And I'm like, focus in bro, listen to what he's saying.
But I'm also like, he's got the cadence.
He's got the cadence of the intro nailed
and I can't get out of it.
But thank you, bro.
I'm freaking, I'm nervous.
I'm nervous, I'm gonna screw this up.
But it's like, I'm so stoked I'm here, thank you.
You do not need to be nervous, David.
But also I'm aware that a lot of your style
and a lot of the things you did on Taskmaster New Zealand
clearly came from that energy.
That's the way you attack the tasks.
You were nervous and you just went for it.
Would that be fair to say?
Yeah, bro.
And I mean, you know, you know what it's like.
It's like you're like a rat in a hot bucket.
Like you're just like, I need to get out of here. I don't know what to do. And it's like it's like it's like you're like a you're like a rat in a hot bucket like you're just like i need to get out of here i don't know what to do and it's oh my god it's
such a weird experience hey it's a really weird experience but yeah rat in a hot bucket is a
wonderful way to describe it there's there's something just about the way you move on task
master new zealand the just the constant you read the task and then suddenly you're like i've got to
do something and quite often you're not sure what you're going to do but your body starts doing it before your
mind catches up so you'll turn so quickly to try and find what you're going to do that almost when
i watch it it's almost like a cartoon your hair catches up with you about three seconds later like
it spins around on your head it's such a you're an absolute joy to watch there's there's a task quite early on and
we're not we're what we're going to do is we're going to try and not give too many spoilers but
we will be referencing individual uh tasks on your show there's a task quite early on um and i won't
say what happens but you end up having to get something down from practically the ceiling and
somehow you manage to climb up onto the kitchen work surface and sort of scuttle up to the ceiling and i didn't realize
that was possible oh bro i didn't realize that was possible there were so many moments in taskmaster
where i was like this isn't a show this is this is legit like you have no idea how real this is
right now like when i started climbing up there i think i okay i won't give it away but i grabbed
one of the banisters and i was like this is an all or nothing moment Paul has to come here right now and push my foot
up otherwise I'm not gonna succeed this task and yeah oh man and like it was that point where like
the adrenaline rush kicks in so you can get through it and then later on your body catches
up and you start cramping because your body's like why did you just put us through that yeah i mean i mean personally i couldn't wait to see on the show
as soon as you were announced uh for taskmaster it was very very excited um because some people
in the uk might not have seen you before they might not have come across you i've seen your
shows uh the edinburgh fringe and i know that you i know that you push things, David. What I did at Taskmaster is like a 4A.
Yeah.
Like, it's not even...
People are watching this and be like,
what is he doing?
I'm like, dude, this is me.
I'm like, I'm toning it down.
I don't want to...
I want another chance at TV.
I've already almost screwed it up once.
I need to get through this as a good boy.
Bro, oh my God i we haven't been able
to talk about it like properly yeah but that that we did seven days together yes we did it yeah we
did a panel show in new zealand seven days you were great that is oh no that was a nightmare man
that was i was i got rip shit drunk because they wouldn't stop giving me wine because i don't
there's a lot of banjery comic so i was like if i get drunk i can be more of a wild card it's a dice roll everything i say but all it did was it
just like muted my brain and i was like i don't know i don't know what to do i think at one point
i bit die but it didn't read well because i bit his back and so you're like who is this for this
is for no one well it was for me actually on the day it was very much for me i was loving it um i was already
feeling quite weird because just the way sometimes that i think new zealand panel shows work or the
way that you do tv in new zealand is slightly different in that halfway through there was like
a break called and we all went to the dressing room and just had some beers and cheese for no
reason um do you not do that in the uk no we don't have it was so weird like we just left the audience there and then we just went and had some
beers for no
seemingly no reason
I loved it
I always thought that like UK panel shows were just
like a step above what New Zealand
panel shows do so I was
thinking like you do that all the time like you have three of those
instead of one
there's not that break in the middle
but which i think i
was quite drunk by the end of it but you took um i might have mentioned this on the podcast before
you took a whole wheel of brie uh from the cheese board that was backstage put it in your pocket and
when we came back to film again you just whipped it out your pocket and started eating it like a
big oh bro bro when i picked up that brie cheese in room, I was like, this is gonna cement me
in the New Zealand comedy scene.
This is gonna be the meme that makes me.
And then I got the cheese and I was like,
I've got nothing planned for the cheese.
I just, I planned the premise.
There's no punchline.
There's no punchline at all for this.
It's so bad.
And then they cut the whole thing out.
So I wasn't aware.
Is it fair to say then that you saw taskmaster as your your big your big chance is that where this energy comes from as well that
you're like this i've got to fucking nail this i got it bro i i after the show that you saw in
edinburgh i had like a train wreck of a career like i did i just you know screwed up screwed
up some opportunities and like had fully given up on
like trying to do like tv comedy I was like I'm just gonna find my little hole and then they
called me up for Taskmaster and I'm like oh okay this is actually the only show that I think I
actually could do well in right it kind of leans into my style anyway yeah I mean yeah it makes
total sense to put you for I really think you're, you're built for the show and you proved that for sure.
Were you a fan of, had you seen the UK Taskmaster before?
Obviously you'd seen series one of Taskmaster New Zealand.
Had you watched UK Taskmaster before?
So I'd heard of Taskmaster, but I didn't know where to find it.
So all I ever really got were the YouTube compilations.
Yes.
So I only ever i only ever
digested taskmaster as like a compilation i didn't realize it was like a full arc like you
got to know the people on the show and then after i realized i was like oh this show is incredible
like what the what the heck is the show i love paul jowdry on the show he's so funny
putting him on a bouncy castle? So good.
So good.
I mean, we should talk about some of your highlights.
I mean, we asked for emails.
We got a lot of emails, David.
So people are finding the show uh we got a lot of emails and a lot of them were about your uh rap battle um which
i'm sure will come up uh throughout but it's not even just the rap battle i think it's the the
preparation for the rap battle i was watching it in the back of a taxi uh i was on the way uh
somewhere and i had i just i was screaming laughing it's so funny
it's it's so shocking it's basically thank you i'm not sure that would have snuck through the
censors on uk taskmaster because it's it's so it's so full-on i mean obviously you're
you must be a rap fan anyway because it's it's a certain style of rap you clearly enjoy sort of
aggressive gangster rap i was just like because like with rap battles right you're like you mainly
go for things you go for the cuts like the deep cuts yeah and i was like i can't show that on tv
i can't go for real deep cuts on tv i it's it's so dangerous so i was like well if i
just go hyper violent yeah like and make it to the point where it's ridiculous like a sore kill bill
type thing people can't take this seriously but then it's like once i'm like i found the line and
then i kept running further and i had some oh man there was it was so much worse than what it actually
was there was some there oh man i like yeah i mean
even the ones that made made it into the edit uh guy and laura's face when you were doing that
genuine i've never seen guy montgomery shocked like he's the most he's the most laid back uh
easy to deal with man like he's brilliant he's so funny um he rolls with everything he's a big
yes and uh but in that moment everything you said he
was like oh no david oh david no david you shouldn't there's a brilliant moment where you
say um about matt heath matt i'm gonna run you over like a cat and guy really quietly just goes
you shouldn't be running over cats david i think because that was like one of the like that was
me trying to find it in the moment yeah because it gets so much worse than that
there was one bit that was taken out but i think it was like it was because i did a rap i did a
rap for every single sample because i realized after a while i've got to do one for every one
yeah and then so i did and it was about the ninth one i was like starting to lose it and guy said oh you're starting to lose steam aren't
you and i was like yeah yeah i am and i'm glad they didn't i'm glad they didn't leave that
what um what what one didn't make it in david let's let's hear it and then if it's too awful
we'll we'll cut it out of here as well oh i can't remember the lines because i was genuinely
freestyling and i was just coming up but there was one where i talked about putting matt's kids in a car and
driving it off a cliff like thelma and louise tight leads of the simpsons when they drove the
car off the thing i was oh and that was the one that was the one that i was like we have to take
that out yeah you can run my over but, but don't bring his kids into it.
Oh man, that's so funny.
No, because at that point I was like, I could see the crew were laughing.
I was like, well, I've got to push it further.
By like ruler three, I've already hit like ruler eight.
So I'm like, I'm way above what I was expecting.
And oh man, it just got too intense.
Well, if anyone's wondering
um david referenced uh his performance on taskmaster was only a four out of what he could
do i did see david at the fringe uh and i'd say did you end the show by putting a bike pump up
your ass david yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and that wasn't even like like i remember people coming out
of that show and they were like bro the bike like you said it was about going from one to 10.
Like that wasn't 10.
The 10 was, the 10 was me, like me dressing up in a schoolgirl outfit and having two furry, furry pictures and getting bukkake'd by like these paintings, like which I'd filled with custard and I called it live action hentai.
And they were like, that was, that was the worst part,
man.
You should have ended on that.
So it's like,
there was a little nod to that sort of that way of staging things in your
puppet show on Taskmaster as well.
Yes.
You noticed it.
I noticed that.
Yeah.
I noticed the ref.
So lovely.
Exceptional.
I mean, I saw, I saw you do that show at the fringe and it's quite late night show wasn't it um yeah it's like a 10 p.m show yeah 10 p.m gilded balloon i think i came on
a friday or a saturday um and there were clearly like some scottish lads in there who just wanted
to see some late night comedy so they bought some tickets they had no idea uh what what they
were in for and they turned up and they'd started off
like being like proper like you know leary scottish lads they were heckling they were pissed
i'd say by 10 minutes in they would basically just pin to the back wall they had no idea what
was going on you absolutely they tried to heckle but you can't heckle a man putting a bike pump
up his ass there's nothing there's there's nothing you can say to a man eating dog food.
Bro.
And also,
cause I wanted to add to it.
I was like,
I want to make this even more of a dice roll.
I,
I would skull a bottle of red wine every night in the show before the 20
minute mark.
I don't know if you remembered that,
but there was real wine and I was just hucking them back at the start.
And,
oh,
every, I remember one woman stood up halfway through the show and she she stood up and she said i'm not
leaving because you're controversial i'm leaving because you're shit and then i went okay see you
later and she went no never i'm never coming back to any of your shows ever again and i was like oh no david we should talk about this current lineup
of taskmaster uk series 12 um have you you've seen a few of the episodes up until this point
because it is being
shown in new zealand at the moment i believe yeah yeah i think we're like one week behind
so okay cool i yeah so i've watched everything except episode four right good okay so what what
are you thinking about this current lineup do you have were you aware of uh any of the contestants
beforehand or is are they all new to you now the only one that I knew was Alan Davies going into it.
But even then I didn't really watch QI.
Like I'm, man, I'm not a panel show guy.
I don't really like, I watch like the clips on YouTube
but I can't sit down and just watch the show.
So I knew Alan Davies and I was, yeah, I think I love,
I love Guzz, I love guz so much oh he brings
so much to the head cam all those eyes all that eye oh i could watch guz from a head kayak cam
though and he has the same thing you were talking about with me you know when you were like the hair
moves at the same time when he moves his head oh it's so dynamic it's so brilliant i'm like oh dynamics a really good
word for guz i think he's he is absolutely hilarious i mean and there's there's some
great guz moments coming up in this to be fair it's a very this is a very very strong episode
uh i think everyone everyone has a good moment in it but let's i mean let's get stuck in straight away uh let's talk about the prize task uh this week um which is most elegant thing beginning with the letter
g did you enjoy doing the prize tasks on your series bro i love the prize tasks it was so much
fun so much fun to just like because everything else is prepped so you're it's not prepped so
you're going into it now everyone's gonna be like fuck taskmasters prep um you're not prepped for any of it right
so this is the one moment where you're like oh i can actually use this to really show what i
do and i also really love i didn't like taskmaster made me realize i actually really enjoy
making and crafting stuff as well and so yeah the price tasks was really really fun what you what you seem to enjoy
you enjoy making things but at some point they do have to feature a photo of you in your pants
yeah yeah i only had like one album of photos to go from like because i hadn't had any other
photos done in a while so like that's all i had so so there was a theme it kind of themed out
yeah um let's so let's talk about these uh these prize entries uh guz
uh went with a portrait of himself that was a gift from the bbc um which i've was pretty elegant i
thought i'd say that was elegant but it does that is this is the second time he's used a picture of
himself i'm not sure if you've seen that episode dav David. So I do sort of imagine he just lives in a house full of portraits of himself.
Yeah, I think I was really stoked
that Gus got five points for that.
Yes.
I don't know.
It was so, it was so, it was just, it really was,
what was it?
Was it elegant?
Yes.
Was that the word?
It was an elegant picture.
Every time I watch something now,
I'm just thinking
what would david what would david do how would you how would you show elegance through a prize
task david starting with the letter g yeah uh a gold a gold ring um spray painted in green
okay just this this sums up a lot of your price us you take a really strong initial
idea and then just do something right at the end to fuck it up oh because i want to hit it with a
double g i want to be able to go yeah double g yeah you don't let the gold well it's green as
well you know i think it's i mean it is stronger than a lot of a lot of the ones that
are here because uh i mean we'll talk about um alan uh who brought in a dressing gown uh from
london studios so i guess the g is is a gown yeah which no one calls it a gown i don't think um no
i i looked back at i was re-watching the pride task and i was like i like and i didn't
see it straight away and i just saw the gown and i was like gown yeah yeah i agree i agree
um i also refuse to believe that's the most elegant thing that alan has alan's done very
well in his career he's surely got some more elegant things than a than a dirty dressing
gown and also i don't think he freshly laundered it he claimed to have washed it but there's
absolutely no way he washed that dressing gown just specifically for taskmaster have you met
alan like do you know him personally yeah you've been in his house i've not been in his house i
don't know him that personally have you like what what stuff have you seen of him where you're like
yeah you're rich rich i'm not sure actually i think i'm just imagining that he must be because
he's very down to earth.
But, you know, he's had a long and varied career in British entertainment.
So, you know, he must have got a few elegant things along the way.
I don't know why he didn't bring gold.
Like, he must have gold.
Like, when you get to that level of rich, why do you not have, like, a little bit of gold?
It's ridiculous. You think Alan Davis must have just, just like a big bag of gold in his house somewhere or
even just a tiny amount you know maybe like out of some iphones that he's like kind of built up
you know inside the little thing get a little bit of the gold i don't know like flex like he would
at least have flex yeah yeah so he should have brought in some flex of gold but he brought in
a dirty dressing gown somehow still got four points for it um and now i think we're really scraping the bottom of the
barrel here with morgana victoria and desiree desiree brought in a gardenia which i get it
it's quite route one and but greg's not a flower guy so you need to think about what greg's gonna
like because he's not going to enjoy just like a straight ahead flower what did you think of that one that that's the thing that that
like really screws me up is that you you actually are playing to the taskmaster yes it doesn't like
it doesn't matter what connections you make in your head if you can't get that across your your
shafted but i think a gardenia i think's elegant. I think like in an outdoor setting,
if I look at it,
I'm like, yeah,
that's an elegant plant.
I would go,
yep, you probably have gold at your house
if you've got gardenias
out the front of your house.
Morgana brought,
I mean,
just made me laugh straight away
how she thought this was elegant.
She brought in a glass giraffe Christmas decoration,
which was just insane
i mean morgana is i mean she's held herself as a very a very elegant person throughout this whole
process like you would have thought she would have nailed this that she understands elegance
and it's crazy it's a giraffe dressed as a ballerina i think i think she's the most chaotic
one in the like in the series as well so i So I like, because when you think of a glass giraffe,
think of that, like a glass giraffe.
That's a fancy thing.
Even though it didn't come across because of the tutu on it.
You're like, oh, but if you, on paper, you say glass giraffe,
you go, fancy.
Yeah, super fancy.
That's a three course, yeah, you eat three course meals.
Yeah, but then you see it and it's so dumb it was such a dumb giraffe yeah but three points though somehow three points well
somehow three points because victoria i don't know i mean i don't i don't understand victoria
i don't know what her life is i think she's great i love her on the show. The homemade Mr. Greedy Esquire.
I've got no idea why she thought this was elegant.
Could you wrap your head around this one at all, David?
No, no, no, I couldn't.
I was like, oh.
Oh, no.
I don't want to say, I don't want to speak ill of other people.
No, please, please.
No, it was just like, I didn't get it.
I didn't get it either.
Like, the fabric, very pleb, very pleb fabric.
This continues this weird obsession she has with the Mr. Men.
She's mentioned the Mr. Men on a previous episode
where she ranked them by sexiness.
But obviously, this was not sexy this this was elegant
apparently and it didn't look like it had even been finished i just don't know what why would
you bring why would you bring it was this it was the stitching eh it was the stitching on the outside
it kind of looked like it's still peel it had like that peel factor to it yeah if it was closed over
i might have been like yeah this is tight this is like but you
wouldn't have been like this is elegant nah oh no your tip for making it more elegant would be hide
the seam okay that's good yeah but still two points this i thought it was very unfair on
desiree actually it was quite a straight up route one choice from desiree but surely that flower was
more elegant than mr greedy esquire yeah yeah i think so yeah um so it was one point for desiree, but surely that flower was more elegant than Mr. Greedy Esquire. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I agree. Yeah. So it was
one point for Desiree, two points for
Victoria, three points for Morgana,
four points for Alan, and the big five
for another portrait of
Guz. What I brought in
is a gardenia. Okay.
Yes, gardenia. It's one of my favorite flowers.
It's iconic. It smells incredible.
It is so finicky. It wants sunlight, but also humidity and no drafts,, it's one of my favourite flowers. It's iconic, it smells incredible, it is so finicky,
it wants sunlight but also humidity and no drafts
and it's totally worth it when you actually have one sitting in a room.
Do you know what I'm hearing? What?
You talk a good game but you brought a flower in.
Yes, I did, but you said elegant.
I didn't bring in a farty dressing gown,
I brought in nature's elegant.
Alan, I can smell it from here.
So, task one,
sit on a cake,
fastest wins.
Now, David,
this is actually a nod
to a previous task
from UK Taskmaster.
Yes.
Are you aware?
Have you seen this task before?
It was Lisa Tarbuck in series six.
Yeah.
Yeah, made Alex sit on a cake and series six um yeah made alex sit on a
cake uh and pull his trousers and pants down and sit on a cake um and a lot of as he said he was
open when he sat down um so so this is a lovely nod i mean this is 100th episode of taskmaster
uk so i think um they wanted to do something celebratory you know that referenced a previous
episode perhaps now everyone did something but i i have some fairly controversial views over how
this should have been scored david because i'm quite i'm quite straight ahead really really yeah
i i'll say it at the top i think morgana is the only one who deserved any points here because no one else actually sat on a cake.
None of this was cake.
Victoria sat on a flapjack.
Desiree's wasn't a cake.
Guz's wasn't a cake.
Alan's was made of paper.
That's how I feel.
But I suppose it wouldn't have been very entertaining.
You don't think Desiree deserved the points for finding the cake?
I think she deserved maybe a bonus point for finding the secret cake room but it wasn't it wasn't a real cake David it was made
of sponge and it was covered in shaving foam oh that's how I feel about it but I think this this
is why I at no point should I ever be the taskmaster because I'm too grumpy and i stick to the rules too much see i was like i i was very
proud of desiree because she committed to the to the conspiracy yes she did she did commit to the
conspiracy there's so many moments when you're playing the game and you're like what's the trick
and sometimes there's no trick and that's the thing that and she she was the only one out of
the group that went there's a trick to this there's a trick to this's the thing that and she she was the only one out of the group that
went there's a trick to this there's a trick to this and i went wow and the whole time i was like
you're fucked up you're fucked up there's no cake and then there was a cake yeah it was pretty
impressive shaving cream cake pretty impressive that she found it and also i love that it was
called the secret cake room and morgana said oh is there a there's some sort of secret cake room is that
they must have punched the air when she said that they're like yes that is the edit sorted out that
is perfect um also it was lovely lovely to see someone actually make a cake from scratch
and really just just sod off the whole the whole thing and just go i'm gonna make this cake from
scratch i'm gonna do a proper cake and tactically it was actually pretty good because obviously she took one hour 45
minutes but she got five bonus points for the best cake so it was a good tactical way of doing it
i think that was enough of a reward for it and like the i think the only one who shouldn't have
gone points was alan i was that's the only one where I was like nah man yeah that that doesn't count but like the fact that I I had moments where I brought stuff and I could
have used them for tasks and I didn't get to and I like I was kicking myself in the head
seeing Victoria pull out the cake well what kind of cake was that it was a flapjack
yeah for her pulling that out I was was like, go you, go you.
Yes.
Celebrate this.
Go.
Yes.
This is what it's about because they,
you,
you have so many things on your person and you're like,
yeah,
when it works out,
it works out.
So I think,
yeah,
I think she deserves it.
And Gus was just like,
I don't,
a croissant's a cake to me,
you know?
Fair enough.
I think you're probably right.
I'm being too,
I'm being too prescriptive.
What, what sort of things did you have with you then, David,
that you wanted to use in a task that you didn't?
There was one, and I won't tell the task,
but there was one point where money would have really helped me out.
Yeah.
And I remember the night before,
I was like, because it's such a long ride out to the taskmaster house.
Right. And I remember every time we drove out a long ride out to the to the taskmaster house right so
and I remember
every time we drove out there
like 7 in the morning
there was always this dairy
that we passed
a dairy is like a convenience store
in New Zealand
and I was like
there's a pie in there
I know there's a pie in there
and like the fourth week
I was like
I should treat myself to a pie
because like
it's great food
but also like
how good would the pie be
at 8am
and so
I was gonna bring money
to buy the pie
get it to drop me off, get it
and then that was the same day
if I had money on me
I would have done so much better on the task
right, okay, okay
but you spent it on the pie?
no, I didn't bring any money
you didn't get the pie
and you didn't have the money to use on the task
nah, nah
bad day
yeah, I meangana's cake was
genuinely impressive and i mean as greg as greg said afterwards uh he definitely thinks there's
a market for that video i mean they really slowed it down in the edit as well morgana sitting on a
cake they really bro bro i don't know how deep you've gone on the internet and looked up cake farts,
but I got cake fart energy out of that whole task.
I was like, you've got to put this on the Orange and Black website.
It's going to be on there.
And if Taskmaster isn't monetising this, it's a lost opportunity.
Well, look, everyone else did a good good job as well desiree obviously found the
secret cake room absolutely loved that she found and loved how angry she was immediately
she does this quite a lot where she opens the task laughs at how ridiculous the task is and
then gets really angry with alex that she has to do it and she was just so angry all the way through
like trying to find trying to find the cake going in the kitchen saying well it's obviously not
going to be in here and then she finally it, angrily sat down on it,
and then fell off the chair and burst out laughing.
It was absolutely great.
She's so good.
Yes, Victoria obviously went to her bag
and pulled out a flapjack that she carries at all times.
I do another podcast as well, David,
where we ask people about their dream meal,
and Victoria was a very early episode, and we talked about carrying food a lot so this this is this is true to form she takes
sandwiches with her to dinner parties to eat in the toilet if she doesn't like the food that people
have prepared for her so she's always ready with a little snack i'm i'm a i'm a condiments guy i've
always got condiments on me i've always always either got mayonnaise, cayenne pepper,
or Tabasco with me.
Just because I know that all of those would work
on the cold rotisserie chicken
because that's the cheapest meat you can get
at a supermarket straight away.
So I always want options.
So you would have been ready to pimp up that pie
if you'd bought it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh man, I feel bad that you didn't get that pie.
Genuinely do. yeah yeah yeah yeah I feel bad that you didn't get that pie genuinely do Gus covers a pan of chocolate with
icing, crushed up cereal and three candles
for some reason
because Alex is 42 he puts three
candles in it and then puts it
on a teapot which is so stressful
it was so stressful
why did he put it on a teapot
and then sit on it that's another video that i've
seen deep on the internet i don't know if you've seen one man one jar but i got that i was like
i'm about to hear a slosh i like i don't know if you've heard the slosh of one man one jar
but it was very dangerous so i understand yeah where the where the concern was yeah this is
it's taskmasters 100th episode and they're very much going
this sort of niche viral pornography
is the way they're going.
And Alan, of course,
shits in a mug
and licks the top like an ice cream.
If I was to do it, i would have included eels he's a tiny little eel
oh man okay yeah i'm done i'm done i'm pulling back i'm pulling back
alan makes a paper cake and decorates it with candles uh sings happy birthday and then sits on
it um i suppose i know what you mean you sort of don't want to give it to him but I think it was quite
an interesting way of doing it and if you're giving
you know Guz a cake
if you're giving Victoria a cake
if you're letting everyone have that as a cake
I think speed was the key
and it was a good idea from Alan
the problem is he just moves the slowest
he moves so slowly
so if he'd done that at the speed he thought
he was doing it at,
I think he would have got five points.
Where's the damn cakes?
Where are the cakes?
Where are you hiding cakes?
I mean, should I, like, I've got to find the cake?
Oh, all the information.
Yeah, I know.
Sit on a cake.
Oh, Jesus.
Does this kitchen have anything in it?
Sit on a cake.
Where are you hiding cake?
Do I have to make the cake first?
Oh, fuck you if that's the right answer.
All right, we gotta start eliminating rooms.
This is probably the last one it would be in.
Please come up.
Is this the loo of this place?
Oh!
Ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Hi, it's Terry O'Reilly, host of Under the Influence.
Recently, we created an episode on cannabis marketing. With cannabis legalization, it's a brand new challenging marketing category. And I want to let you know
we've produced a special bonus podcast episode where I talk to an actual cannabis producer.
I wanted to know how a producer becomes licensed, how a cannabis company competes with big corporations, how a cannabis company
markets its products in such a highly regulated category, and what the term dignified consumption
actually means. I think you'll find the answers interesting and surprising. Hear it now on Under
the Influence with Terry O'Reilly. This bonus episode is brought to you by the Ontario Cannabis Store
and ACAS Creative.

Task two is a team task, perhaps.
I'm going to put it out there, the most complicated team task there's ever been
in terms of explaining what it is.
I'm going to read out the whole task.
Get the most balls in the net.
Everyone must stay on their spots at all times.
If anyone other than the task reader touches or handles a ball,
you lose five balls from your ball total.
Also, the person on the middle spot must sit for 10 seconds
and then stand up straight for 10 seconds on repeat.
Any balls remaining between the task reader and the middle person
will be deducted from your ball total. have five minutes your time starts when alex
pretends his whistle isn't working um so i mean look it it's complicated but complicated for a
reason i think um it's bro i i re what so because i knew we were reviewing like we were going to be
reviewing the episode i didn't want to come in going,
I don't understand this.
Like, I'm just going to let Ed riff by himself.
I had to go back on that video three times
just so I could understand what the task was.
Well, you're in good company
because I don't think they properly understood either.
They kind of,
Guz, Desiree and Morgana had the right idea, I think.
You've got to pass the net
all the way down
to the person with the balls
so they can just load up
the net themselves.
Popping the balls
was a great idea from Morgana.
Got them all in the net
pretty much apart from one.
99 balls in the net.
All she then needed to do
was turn around
with the balls
so the balls were not
between her and Alex.
It was devastating to watch.
I'm not sure
I would have clocked that. It was a big reveal to me i was like they've done it they've absolutely
smashed it and you're like no of course the main thing is any balls between morgana and alex
uh to come off the total so they they absolutely screwed it up if you were doing that one david
would you have just sort of just would it be chaos or would you i would have cried i would
have cried i would have cried i would have
cried on the spot and i and i reckon they were on the verge as well because i was looking at the
eyes it got all glassy you see morgana and guzz's eyes they went they had glassy eyes and i was like
oh that one hurt that one hurt them because you could tell that they didn't they they fully thought
that they did really well at that time yeah and i know that feeling and it hurts and the cameras in front of you are just telling you don't
don't lose it bro don't lose it don't cry you know so i felt really sorry for them at that point
alan and victoria completely missed uh the the basic hack of passing the neck down so they just
did it straight on which is great that you wanted to see people do it in a different way but they
just i mean just incredible 20 times alex got hit by the balls and
there were 46 balls left between alan and alex they don't care i just don't think they care that
much i thought it was a really great contrast because you went yeah you went from like the
smartest move of like cutting the balls and then putting it i was like that's so smart and then having like just the like
just a real bad attempt yeah i love those moments i love that about taskmaster that's the the
contrast you want i mean i hate to come back to it again but the the rap battle contrast was my
favorite in in your series because it was it was ursula and uh matt really they're like yeah we're
gonna write a really bad rap battle and it was so
it was quite sweet it was quite gentle it was sort of like quite quite sort of uh you know it was it
was sweet i think sweet is the word because they were really trying but it wasn't that damaging
and then to cut to you saying some of the most fucked up stuff i've ever heard in my life was
just absolutely brilliant oh man i think i think it's just proof that like, you're your own worst enemy.
Because in my head, I could see Ursula Carlson,
like Roastmaster General,
like one of the sharpest minds in New Zealand comedy.
Matt Heath, like known for really pushing the boundaries
of New Zealand comedy and New Zealand television.
I was like, these guys are gonna go hard.
They're like, Matt's musical as well.
So in my head, I was like, I got to match it.
I'm not, they're going to say some mean things to me.
They're going to say some mean things to you, David.
You better hit them hard too.
You came out swinging.
So it was, okay, I think this is very controversial scoring,
actually, David.
So there were 99 balls in the net, 100 balls between them.
So it was a score of minus one for the team of three.
And obviously the team of two did even worse
and got a final score of minus 128.
No one gets any points.
Greg decided that no one gets any points
because they hadn't achieved the task.
As far as I know, they had all attempted to achieve the task.
They hadn't failed the task. They just did very badly at the task as far as i know they had all attempted to achieve the task they hadn't failed the task
they just did very badly at the task so really in my mind it should have been five points to the
team of three or you know three points to the team of three someone should have got some points how
do you feel about that david well was it was it a disqualification i don't think so because all in
the task it says uh any balls remaining between the task reader and
the middle person will be deducted from your ball total so it should just be the person with the
most amount of points wins i don't think it's a disqualification situation i reckon jeremy would
have given one of i would have given points yeah for that like if you're looking at like from a
new zealand taskmaster point yeah i reckon jeremy can be really kind in those moments sometimes and he
like i think he would have given points in that moment i think maybe like a two up yeah maybe a
two maybe a two to the team of three and nothing to the team of two but no point no points for
people i mean because they did better the team three did better than a team of two sorry i know
greg's probably listening to this he loves loves this. He listens to it all the time.
Unfortunately, Greg, I think you're wrong on this occasion.
Sorry, mate.
But was that the one where at the end he was like,
I know it's going to blow up on Twitter.
At me.
At me about this.
At me.
I was like, he knows.
He's fed up.
He's fed up.
You're right.
He is fed up.
Are you looking at me like there was a rule broken?
Well, it did say any balls remaining between the task reader
and the middle person will be deducted from your ball total,
and all of them were between the task reader and the middle person.
Oh. Oh.
They needed to be turned around. Oh, no.
Either side. So, actually...
Oh! He's breeding!
Oh!
So, they got 99 balls in their net. 100 balls were between them.
So you got a score of minus one.
Wow.
So can we say the theory was genius,
but the reality is crushing?
That's the most sad I've been on a television.
Well, you look pretty sad
when you had to do a modicum of physical exercise.
Task three.
I think this is my favourite task of the episode.
I absolutely love this.
Prevent Alex from scoring a goal.
Alex will attempt to score a goal in 15 minutes time.
The ball and the goal posts must both be on their spot when he does.
You must be 12 yards from the ball when Alex attempts to score.
Slowest scored goal by Alex wins.
Your time starts now.
I have a feeling, David, you would have done some crazy shit for this
if you were doing this one.
now i have a feeling david you would have done some crazy shit for this if you were doing this one i i was like i was so impressed with um alan um alan morgana and guz i thought guz guz blew my
mind i i wouldn't have done what guz did i thought it was very smart i i would have thought i would
have been disqualified for that because it says the spot is there but
closing it in, the fact that
Alex had to bring out a pair of scissors
or had to use his own logic to go
I can't win this, I have to
fight back, I think that's the first time I've seen
Alex actually fight back
against a task. Yeah, I think you're right
and that was really interesting to see because
you would have thought that he
wouldn't allow, usually he doesn't allow himself to interfere in that way but because he had to score a goal
he had to do it in any way possible yeah it's really and also i think interestingly this is
the most alex uh this is the most i've seen alex enjoy himself during a task as well because he had
an active role i think he clearly loves playing a bit of football he had the little number on the
back of his shirt he really i think he he proper fancies himself as a footballer as
well he was had a lot of poise and a lot of sort of skill it was great to watch yo when he when he
landed the goal after victoria's attempt i was like bro bro trick shot that's some dude perfect
stuff i was like that's what an angle it was.
Yeah.
And he played it off so cool.
I was so proud of him.
Let's talk about Victoria's attempt
because it's absolutely hilarious.
I mean, Victoria clearly doesn't like sport at all.
The fact she just put some objects in front of the ball
and then she didn't even stand in the goal.
She stood to the side of the,
so confident was she
that a few objects in front of the ball would stop him scoring that she didn't even stand in the goal she stood to the side of the so confident was she that a few objects in front
of the ball would stop him scoring that she didn't even stand in the goal and he got it in first time
it was so confusing to me after watching guz go for it i was like yeah i was like oh there must
be a rule that where she can't i must have missed the rule where you can't go in front of the in
front of the goal post and then just seeing it roll through and she didn't even run for it
she just did you run for it no she watched it it was brilliant she wasn't she refused to take part
in any sport to that extent it was very funny i also thought that um it was i thought the build-up
towards alex's attempt at vict's one, so well played.
Because I fully, I was like hook, line and sinker.
I was like, yeah, he's not going to get this.
It's like there's no way he could go for it.
It's always going to bounce off the thing.
And then it just made the curve so much funnier.
Yeah, it was great.
Desiree somehow did even worse,
even though she tried a lot harder than Victoria.
It was a strong attempt to cover the goal with cling film,
but you needed about three more layers of cling film on there.
And Alex, again, knocks it in first time.
Incredible.
He must have been so proud of himself.
It slipped in, eh?
It slipped in real nicely.
It slipped in between the sheets.
Yeah, like you say, Guz thought outside the box,
which is what you need to do in this one.
And he moved the spot and the ball into the house
and barricaded the house.
And Alex really went for it.
It was good to see.
You're right.
He proper kicked the door in.
He was so excited to get going.
He had to get the ball out of that pile of stuff.
And then when Guz realised that Alex could move it
and could do what he wanted,
because he'd done that,
the panic on Guz's face when he had to then just run
and just be a normal goal, he was great.
That moment where Alex,
like it's the first time where I just feel like Alex bit back.
He was like, well, if you can move, I can move.
And I was like, yes.
And then the game of football began.
Guz out the gate just like
defending every
goal
yeah
so impressive
it was great to
watch the thing
is like I thought
about this one a
lot and about
what what I would
do I think it was
genius from Guz
to move the ball
with the spot
but then you
just go harder
with that you
you nail the
spot to the
ball so it's
always on the
it's always on the spot and then run out of the taskmaster house it's right next to the Th you nail the spot to the ball so it's always on the it's always on the spot
and then run out of the taskmaster house it's right next to the thames throw the ball in the
thames with the spot attached to it there's no way alex can ever get it uh and then what i think what
i would have done is dismantled the goal completely and you've got to just like absolutely smash it up
so you can still leave it on the spot but it's
just like a folded up net and then just like some bashed up posts like completely take the goal
apart so there's no way alex can put it back together again you've just you've got to go
violent you've got to go full smasher i think yeah i would have i would have like if we were
going for like move the spot i would have covered it in duct tape had a bit of a long piece and just
heft it onto the ceiling try to get it
caught on something on the ceiling so that alex has to get a ladder at some point make it really
hard to go for it you're totally right yeah uh but look alan and morgana both excellent as well
alan flipped the goal genius move and put loads of objects in front of it um and it took it took
alex a long time it took him a really long time um but even longer to do
morgana's because she sort of also flipped the goal um and alex tried his heart he was looking
forward to doing the trick shot uh and eventually like you say had to get scissors and cut the net
that's how desperate things got it was so much fun it felt like the sort of game that alex would
invent uh on holiday do you know what i mean it felt like if you of game that alex would invent uh on holiday do you know what
i mean it felt like if you were like had a few hours to kill and you were just sitting about
with mates this you you the goal preventing game i think is a good one to play with friends yeah
yeah yeah i thought i thought that about the and we'll talk about this soon but like i thought
that about the live task as well yes oh man yeah such a big fan of that one well let's let's uh
give the points uh it was one point for Desiree, two points for Victoria,
three points for Guz, four points for Alan
and five points for Morgana.
She's having a good episode.
If you score a goal from there, I'll give you £100.
He doesn't seem like someone who could do that.
No, it was a glorious lob.
Shall I tell you how I knew he was going to do it?
Because of them shit flickers.
Yes, let's talk about the live task.
Pop the most balloons.
You may pop between one and ten balloons each turn.
If you pop one of the five bad balloons, you're disqualified.
The eventual winner gets ten actual points.
This is, it was genuinely exciting to watch.
And the music.
Yeah.
The soundtrack they picked.
I was like, yo, this is, it was so,
it was like such a good live task.
I would pay, I would pay to play that game.
That's how much fun it looked.
Yeah, it was really, really good fun.
And there was tactics going on.
Obviously, Victoria went out straight away.
Just straight away.
Desiree went out fairly quickly as well but it was
I mean I really wanted Alan
to do better but obviously it came
down to between Guz
and Morgana and Guz
playing it tactically just going one balloon
then Morgana coming up going a couple
of balloons Guz having to come back and having to
do one balloon that's the genius you have to do
at least one so even if you're out in front you're just like it must be so
nerve-wracking throwing those darts it was so much fun to watch yeah i totally i totally agree and
it's like you don't realize like at the start of the game you're like this is a carnival game
you had no idea that you could even play it as a tactics like a tactics game by the end of it oh so good the slow motion yeah oh the slow motion 10 points for the winner as well so it's it's big and that
was that was guz last man standing uh with 10 points which was very important in the end for
the final scores of the episode because guz won with 21 points he can take his portrait home with
him uh then morgana with 17 points alan with 14 points victoria with 10 points. He can take his portrait home with him. Then Morgana with 17 points. Alan with 14 points.
Victoria with 10 points.
A real victory for her to not be on the bottom.
And Desiree with eight points.
So we're halfway through the series.
Guz currently out in the lead after that strong episode.
Closely followed by Morgana, Alan and Desiree.
And then Victoria's there as well.
One good.
Two. Three. Alan and Desiree and then Victoria's there as well one good two three
if Alan throws this next one
and it's not a bad balloon
I'm going to use a phrase
I've wanted to use on television
for many years
lovely darts
let's do some emails then
we've got a lot of emails in
for you David
dear Ed and david
uh this is from james in dundee i'm a great fan of the new zealand incarnation of taskmask both
for successfully retaining the spirit of the original and for introducing me to great new
comedy talent including david who was a standout star of the series for me david assuming you have
watched the UK version
are there any tasks that you would have liked to have done or favorite moments in general
oh I think about this I think about this I think I could have nailed the don't blink task
yeah I reckon I could I can go for I can go for minutes without blinking like full-on tears
streaming down my face,
but I won't give up.
Like,
it's not like it's not clean,
but I reckon I could have put on some minutes.
Would you have beaten Rod though?
Cause obviously Rod taped his eyes back and stuff and it was fairly horrific.
Yeah.
I can imagine you taping your eyes.
Actually.
You definitely,
I think you would have,
you would have ended up doing that.
And then for some reason got naked.
Bro, the eat the egg task, the eat the egg task the eat the egg task man i would have put like i'm like like sub 10 seconds yeah on that one straight down um this is from emmy uh they say hi
ed and david huge fan been binging the podcast at work whilst making 20 plus bags of popcorn for the
cinema i have a question for david do you remember any of the other raps you came up with for the
diss track that was apparently unbroadcastable i'd pay to get an uh i'd pay to get an unedited
version of that entire task now obviously we've already heard that you threatened matt heath's
kids um was there is there anything else that you remember doing even if it's just the topics
i can't remember i i want to tell i
want to like make everyone realize you saw the best you saw the best out of the the rat tasks um
yeah i i think the drown you in your own blood was the one where i was like oh wow i found that
great that that happened we had so many emails about it david uh there's one from patricia here
saying hello taskmaster podcast i just wanted to say that uh david uh there's one from patricia here saying hello taskmaster
podcast i just wanted to say that uh david corral's diss track uh is one one of if not the
most iconic moments of taskmaster history in my books some genuinely fire bars my question is when
is the mixtape dropping i so i i love freestyling so i never like i've never actually like sat down and written anything um until today i sat down and
actually properly gave it a shot my friend joel um who's a comedy producer also is a music producer
yeah so he's been making me beats so it might happen i'm i'm delving into this i'm i'm look
it's we're in lockdown i'm upskilling i'm upskilling, I've gotta be able to find an exit strategy.
Maybe it's rap, who knows?
So you say you've not written anything until today.
You've written a rap, have you?
Yeah, yeah, so, because I,
because bro, they've infiltrated my socials too.
Like people are on my social going,
when are you gonna release this?
When are you gonna release, and I'm like,
and there's a pressure, like part of that.
And now I'm like, like fuck do i have to
do i have to give this a good shot but i genuinely just love i do love rapping i love it more for the
flow rather than like coming up with the little rhymes in between but it's i don't know i it's
i was so happy to be able to do that let's have a couple more emails and then i'm gonna make you do the rap okay okay uh hey both my two favorite all-time
tasks of taskmaster uh are ed and the preposterous chickpea uh and david's general chaos so no not
even i mean i mean she's mentioned the diss track but and not being able to locate the grape
which is amazing as well uh but your general chaos is one of her favorite moments
um my question to david is what uk cast would you have fit in with the most uh so david i mean
assuming i've got i've got a couple of ideas for this about what cast you would have fit in with
the most um but uh do you have an idea of which which series you would have liked to have slotted into in the UK? I get, I'm actually, I'm really intimidated
by UK comics.
Like even this right now, Ed,
it's like I was, you felt the energy
at the start of this.
No one's intimidated by me, David, come on.
I'm so intimidated by all,
bro, I was so intimidated with you
when I went to Edinburgh
and I saw your fucking poster with you in your little pink suit and i was like ed gamble's this big
he's he's big big oh no oh was that mammoth was it that one uh that was blizzard mammoth was
before yeah i'm intimidated by all of you because i've because like because i've gone to edinburgh
you guys are like the upper echelon and so when i see that so i think if i was to slot myself into a cast i would have been i would have felt like i need to
be more reserved or be more funnier or like just try to be more calculated about it and uh yeah
no we'd want to see you go full full david please um i think i mean i think you could slot into any
any cast i think some of the, maybe,
Series 7 would be a good cast.
I mean, I want to see you,
your energy play off against James Acaster,
Rod Gilbert, Phil Wang,
Kerry Godlim and Jess Knappett.
Any of those people I want to see you interact with.
Okay, I think I know which one.
I think I know which one.
And I'm about to spill some tea.
Okay.
I reckon Series 6 would have been the best one yeah yeah because because i love i would have laughed so hard at
everything tim finder yeah it would have been it would have been i would have had the best time at
everything he did doing the the track suit like me having to put that down I would have been having so much fun and also Russell Howard came to my
show after the recommendation of Jared Christmas yeah it was like come to the
show it's like it's it's it's great he's a young kid from New Zealand trying to
do it right and and he came to the show and then I did the thing that you're
talking about before where I stand out in the front and thank everyone.
And I was excited because I was like, oh, Russell Howard.
Wow, I get to say hello to him.
