Mandy, seen your Poll and all, but honestly you should do 'The Royle Family' next. its right up your street, and all they talk about is 'Ohhh, what did you have for tea". Proper northerns. Ive always felt that Americans inherited a lot of things/saying from Northern English folks who were (i imagine) the most likely to set sale for a new ife in the colonies over the wealthy southerners. Anyway, The Royale Family was massive in the UK, bigger than any of the shows youve done to date. Check it out, its so good and not offensive.

Mandy Cane Lane

Hmmm. . I always thought (when I was younger) that tea time was actually just pre dinner tea and crumpets (whatever those are) 🤭🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

I truly felt bad for Basil! The American was down right awful! 😠

Mandy Cane Lane

HAHAHHAHA! Touché! How does one accquire such duck-like abilities? Will a citizenship suffice? 🤔

Mandy Cane Lane

It was a weird dynamic but I for one am team Basil (this episode)!! 😅

Paul Helsby

in the UK we dont all call 'dinner' our evening meal. the posh lot down south do. Up north 'tea time' is your evening meal.

Captain Howdy

The biggest problem with this episode is Basil is supposed to be the one in the wrong, but the American is far worse with his threatening behaviour. The only good thing is at the end, Basil turned the tabels on Cybil.

Captain Howdy

You sure you wasn't in France and they were serving up frogs? I think they call the frog the "chicken of the pond".

Remi

No it's no problem I didn't mean it as in a bad way It sounded better in my head and I keep forgetting you can't show sarcasm through text

.

No worries man. I shouldn't have butted in like that anyways. 🤤

.

He was wet and she wasn't because she's British and we're water repellent like ducks. Or it could be he dropped her off at the door and then had to park up and unload the bags then walk in with them. But the duck theory seems the most plausible to me.

Ryan W.

I've never truly understood with this episode whose side we're supposed to be on. Are we supposed to side with the American guy because we know what a grumpy, horrible person Basil is? Because the American guy is a piece of shit, right? He makes unreasonable demands, brandishes a knife, talks down to everyone, belittles the country he's visiting (and his wife's country)...he's a despicable character yet I can't fully tell if they want us to side with him or Basil.

Z is for Zed

Well, that's the point. If I had just left it there, I wouldn't know if the food was bad or if I was!

Josh Read

Of course I did.

Josh Read

You think Mandy is worth so little? 😲 poor Mandy.

Rusty Dog

LOL!! The looks you would get, haha!

Remi

Ah thank you because I knew the peso was suffering from hyper inflation but I didn't understand the thing with drug dealers also selling money, and how some stores would offer you a better deal for paying in USD instead of Peso's, Thank you Mandy

Benjamin Taylor-Yates

Maybe they were just happy that for once the machine wasn't failing. (Which it did btw, it were crap. everyone thinks it's just us not bothering)

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahaha, no problemo! 🤗✨️

Mandy Cane Lane

OMGGGG, GREEN?? 🤢🤢🤢 Please tell me you said something!

Mandy Cane Lane

Working with people is tough! 😅 Can't believe no one complained about the McFlurrys though! 😮

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahahhaa, I should start going to friends houses asking if they have any waldorfs. Shame none of them speak English... sigh* 🙄

Mandy Cane Lane

Lmao Gary! Love that you caught that! And the next one sounds awesome!

Mandy Cane Lane

HAHAHAHHAHA! Touché Steve!! And well, I have 3 or 4 days to film and even I don't understand the order 🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

Hi Remi! Let's stay polite please! 😅🤪. Ok, so it is very long to properly explain, but long story short the previous goverment was an extremely corrupt one that made it illegal for people to exchange their money to dollars. The Argentine peso has been losing value every week ( for years ) and due to crazy inflation people rather exchange their pesos to dollars to not lose the value of their hard earned money. Since the exchange rate has gone through the roof and it is illegal to do in banks, they call exchanging their money "buying" dollars.

Dextrous (Lewis)

Thank you for my next Dungeons & Dragons character, Waldorf the Wise🧙‍♂️ 😆

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

I will give you £1 if you do it 🤣

Josh Read

I went to a restaurant and ordered chicken. When it came I cut into it and it was green never went back there again 🤢

Mandy Cane Lane

HAHAHA! Pointing a knife is NOT ok 😠

Mandy Cane Lane

It definitely wasn't as fun as other episodes! And I hated that guy 😠

Josh Read

None of us would be so condescending Mand. You have told us how it enrages you so.

Mandy Cane Lane

Ohhhh fun!

Mandy Cane Lane

He is what in my house we call: an idiot 🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahah, music is the best way for me to calm doen as well. But please, never tell me to calm down 🤭🤪🩵

Benjamin Taylor-Yates

Ahhh fond memories of my days in McDonalds. Where me and one manager had to waste 8 minutes in the lunch hour convincing a lady that a plain cheeseburger does actually come with cheese. So maybe if your daughter has a severe cheese allergy you should order the hamburger instead!!! And no you can't have a refund, we can only swap it because we gave you exactly what you told us to make!👏🤗 Or the time the prepers in the morning mixed up the sauce bottles and I so when I'd made about five chocolate flurries or so: I got this wiff of a strong familiar smell. And it turns out amazingly I've just sent out 5 galaxy McFlurry ice creams covered in brown sauce instead of chocolate and no-one complained!!! So hey, Miry - your ice cream experience could have been a lot worse. 🤣 Then we had the customers who stood right in the way of the counter waiting for their meal, even tho the one I was serving was for the customer behind them who couldn't get through. There was shouting from me on a few occasions....

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahaha, this episode is a lot! And ok, noted. I just don't want to be annoying 😅

Josh Read

You were acting like there was a bee or something

Mandy Cane Lane

OMG, I am impressed you actually ate whatever was left 😅😅

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahahhaha! If I pause it is because I had a thought. 😅 I imagine it must be annoying if I do it too much though, but noted! 🩵 Also no idea what happened at 11:35 but my internet has been sketchy lately, so maybe I had a mini cut that affected the video?

Josh Read

What's the horror film this is from?

Mandy Cane Lane

5? Unheard of here 😅

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahah, glad you are all safe! Having cookies on hand is probably good advice too! 🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

👀

Mandy Cane Lane

🏆 Boom

Rusty Dog

Another great episode. Love how Basil turned it all to his advantage by booking a room in his own hotel so he could be waited on. :) Probably paid for it with the American's money :) "Well I think we're just out of Waldorfs" - Classic line :) Enjoyable stuff once again. Thank you M

Josh Read

She certainly is, very well said 👏 also I keep forgetting to say but you do such an amazing job on the XFM videos for her 🤗

Rusty Dog

I have high blood pressure and high cholesterol and I survived. But then Mandy is a calming influence so I live to tell the story.

Gary Tamblyn

When you commented on Manuel’s famous phrase “I know nothing”, reminds me of when you introduced S1E1, (3:02) just before the show started, you said those exact words, and then paused, as if you already knew it was a catch phrase on the show. But it was just pure coincidence. 😃 I was going to comment back then, but you would have had no idea what I was talking about. 🙂 The next one, is probably another top 3 episode.

Remi

No problem I understand what you meant but I probably worded the original comment weirdly because I'm missing a couple beats

.

Fair enough, sorry to have interrupted.

Josh Read

Yeah you're right actually. Shame on you Mandy. Though I was impressed with your outrage at the knife.

Robert Allen

And stop pausing just to apologize for pausing!

Jeffrey44

First she complained about the shape of the sign, then she complained about John Cleese's make-up. To top it all off, she complained about the taste buds of ALL MEN. I stand by my earlier comments.

Remi

No shit but seems she lives there she would have a definite answer and an easier way of explaining it because the video I watched was German and watching a German trying to talk to an Argentinan is painful when neither of them have a universal language

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

I'm getting karaoke flashbacks.

.

Full blast. No headphones. On loop. It doesn't calm you down but you irk the neighbours so much that you FEEL like the chill one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcSlcNfThUA 😉

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

He had lived in the UK for over 20 years when this was filmed. I bet the southern accent rubbed off on him.

Remi

At the start when he was in the lobby he didn't sound like a yank at all

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Maybe the days she can't find the scarf are the days she is wearing it.

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

You are correct Bruce Boa played the American, he is Canadian. I think he spent his adult life in the UK.

.

Thank you kindly Mandy. One day you are wearing a scarf. the next you can't find any of your scarves. Then you are out eating ice cream. It is starting to hurt my brain trying to place these chronologically. I might have to start a spreadsheet.

Josh Read

That's a bit harsh, Mandy isn't that bad 🤔

Remi

I feel like that American accent was faked I heard something else break through a few times, Mandy why are there people everywhere in Argentina trying to sell money? I've been watching some travel vlogs and I don't understand why the ATMs are so expensive and everyone wants to sell you money, I understand why they want to sell you cocaine but I don't get the money

Jeffrey44

What a loud mouth obnoxious American complaining about everything like that!

Danny

This is often considered the only weak episode, most dont like the American guy (who is actually Canadian). Plus it's pretty much just Basil and the American taking up majority of the scenes with not much from the support cast

Danny

Next episode is great! one of the best I'd say

Josh Read

I was 18 so young and innocent 😇

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Nice! I forgot about them. I watched them live about 20 years ago. Jesus! 20 years ago 😞

Josh Read

https://youtu.be/nqWzn3pKAz8?si=VTT8wMKEbyg_9k6y Headphones with this on full volume 🤗

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Whatever does the trick, man. It's like me sitting in my reclining chair, brew in one hand, chocolate biscuit in the other, chilling out to this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnRZhLRv6eM 🤣

AWR93

Basil never knows how to keep things under control and always makes every situation worse! 😭

Josh Read

I watch dvds. I like to ca.down by playing a playstation game on the hardest settings so I calm down by getting frustrated 🤣

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

I enjoyed that! I know what you mean about it being stressful. I always find that locking myself away, putting on headphones, and listening to music is the best way to calm down (not that I'm saying you need to calm down 😰😂). Also, as people have said above, the whole point of watching your videos is your interaction. Without it, we might as well watch a DVD (do people still watch DVDs? 🤔). Anyway, as always, thank you, Mandy. 🤗🤗

DriveIn

Never apologise for pausing to speak, we need the Mandy commentary beamed into our brains! Also, this episode stressed me out too! It was like a shot of adrenaline into my veins! I need a lie down 😄

Z is for Zed

I got a third of a way through what I was eating on Saturday and got an overwhelming urge to go throw up. Came back a few hours later and it didn't have the same effect when I ate the rest. I did have Homer Simpson and the rotten sandwich in the back of my mind, but that's just a cartoon so wasn't worth considering.

Josh Read

It's safe Stanley have no fear. Mandy had some cookies so the world is safe again 😋

Josh Read

What happened at 11:35? Stop saying sorry for pausing when you want to say something. You have a voice let it be heard 🤗I really annoyed my sister once and she ended up pointing a knife at me ☹️

.

Thanks man, you're a star.🌟😂

Danny

Most food places like takeaways and restaurants open at 5. You sometimes see some opening at 4. Theres still lots of pubs that do food from around 11am-12 though or chippies that open for a few hours round then then close till 5
