Taskmaster - S9 E3 - Five Miles Per Day.

Mandy Cane Lane

I have! Can't remember much of the first one, but God of War 3 is the immediate continuation of the second one! Such a cool storyline! I also played 4 and Asention, or whatever it was called. GOW 3 is still my fave!

Sounds rough! I’m guessing the power cuts mean no AC? 🪭🥲

If you can feel the presence of the dead, do you feel the unpresence of the undead? 🤔

paul

I suppose if you had a lot of absences at work you could try to play it down by saying, "well, i wouldn't call them absences... just... unpresences..." 😆

paul

"unpresence makes the heart grow fonder" doesn't quite have the same ring to it... 😆

𝖦𝖺𝗋𝗒 𝖬𝗈𝗋𝗀𝖺𝗇

Eh, it'll take time to heal Mand. Lets just say, I hope Kitana lives a long long time.

Josh Read

You're welcome 😊 he's brilliant. It was you that introduced me to him

Mandy Cane Lane

Why thank you! That was brilliant! Ismo is so fun!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

HAHAHA! Overexplaining is just in my nature. It comes with expressing one's self poorly 😅🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

LMAOOO 🤣🤣 No, Steve with a special font, I don't believe I did 🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

Oh no Gary! Sorry you had a rough week! --The memory palace sounds interesting, I am compelled to try it, but might ironically forget. Lol - And I told you that flower was big! 🤪 Hope the weekend is better for you Gar! 🥰🌈🤗

Mandy Cane Lane

I don't have Facebook but appreciate the sentiment 🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

Thank you Twinsie! I do, but currently with a super heat wave and no power at home. Sleeping is going to be difficult 😅🤣

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Noted Paul. This is why I need you guys to point them out because, a lot of the time, I ask the same questions.

Josh Read

In what video did she ask is Spanish French? That's worse than my girlfriend asking for a cheese burger then saying she didn't want cheese on it 😖

Stevus

There are worse things to be called. Better than 'flimsy and lacking structural integrity'? That would be a weird insult😂

paul

Just finished today's xfm and I think we have a new mandyism for the list Steve... "what's the opposite of presence? unpresence?" 😂

𝖦𝖺𝗋𝗒 𝖬𝗈𝗋𝗀𝖺𝗇

Reading the replies myself - Mandy's lowering the bar to: "as long as you guys know what I mean" Hey Mandy! If you want to keep us on our toes, just say it how it comes out! *don't* try to explain yourself 😀 Leave that for us in the comments lol

𝖦𝖺𝗋𝗒 𝖬𝗈𝗋𝗀𝖺𝗇

Low key brag: I was working for Bullfrog before the N64 was released in the UK, and someone got their hands on an imported Japanese N64 console and left it in the office. One evening after work, I started playing Super Mario World - thought f8ck it! - stayed in the office playing it all night. Didn’t sleep. Amassed about 75 stars overnight. Almost completed the game, all before everyone came back to work the next day 😎 I was knackered, but finished it off before the N64 was released in the UK 😁

Joshyboiiiiii

Oh I really dunno, don't really play much anymore and only really played fifa in the past and that's shit 😂 GTA San Andreas maybe? I had Mario kart for the Nintendo 64 when I was little and loved that

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Just been reading the replies. Mandy, did you just call me robust? 😆

paul

Three good picks Gary. I'm old skool too. 😊

paul

I know... you do have a lot of Karl moments though. Your musing "is Spanish French?" is genius! 😂

paul

You say it fine, I just mean it's cool hearing British slang words like "knob" with an American twang!

Stevus

You did fine! Somehow everyone knew what you meant 👍🤭🤗

Mandy Cane Lane

How about you Josh S?

Mandy Cane Lane

GOD OF WAR 3!! Forever and for always! 🙌🏻

Mandy Cane Lane

🤭

Mandy Cane Lane

OMG! A shame there was no Rhod Gilbert to notice! He would have fought that!! Also, puppies can improve any mood 🥰

Mandy Cane Lane

Ahh, interesting! Will check that out! And every time there is excessive heat, there are some wicked little summer colds running around 😅

Mandy Cane Lane

🤔🤨🧐

Mandy Cane Lane

Oh, I love it! Thank you for sharing. I am not a lucid dreamer or have any sleeping disorder that I am aware of. Perhaps I am just ✨️special✨️ 🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

YESSSSS! That was better than what I had in my head 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

I have never played that game 😅

Mandy Cane Lane

Lmao! I remind you of Karl too often Paul! 😅🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

Lmao, I don't even say it right? 🫣😅🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

How odd to dream of having a brother when you don't have one. Even more odd that you dream killed him! 😅🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

HAHAHHAHAA!!!! The important bit to me is always that you guys understand what I mean 💜

Mandy Cane Lane

That did make sense, thank you Krista. 🥰 I thought robust to mean large and chunky. Sturdiness never occurred to me 😅🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

Oh yes!! I think you are right Jonathan! 🙌🏻🤗

Mandy Cane Lane

HAHAHHA! You lot are too much! 🤣🤣🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahaha! That sounds traumatic!! 🤣🤣🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

HAHAHHAHAA! I have already lost my sexy phlegm. Lol 🤣🤣

𝖦𝖺𝗋𝗒 𝖬𝗈𝗋𝗀𝖺𝗇

It has to be a console game? Super Mario Kart or Super Street Fighter II or Super Mario World - yeah I'm old skool.

𝖦𝖺𝗋𝗒 𝖬𝗈𝗋𝗀𝖺𝗇

Hiya Miley! 29:32 David: “memory palace” - a memorisation technique. Create an imaginary location in your mind where you can walk through and store mnemonic images of random things you need to remember. 30:58 Mandy: “Buenos Aires” Wow! I never knew it should be pronounced like that - I was flawed! Had to repeat a few times to make sure you were saying what I thought you were saying. And wow again, it really is Ginumbous! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floralis_Gen%C3%A9rica 55:12 Nah dude, see, okay, nope. nope, I would have put David higher. David dented the shit out of that award! So when is an award a broken award?! The inscription wasn’t even legible any more - if anything he didn’t *fix* the damage he did, just applied an aluminiuminium bandaid. The grapes and the chocolate - were they even broken? Split into many pieces, they could still be used as grapes and chocolate. Not Broken! 1:03:34 Forget Miley Cyrus, channel me some more Matthew McConaughey, alright alright alright?! It’s been a rough week, so quite the reprieve to unwind with you. Gary

I think I can independently corroborate

Josh Read

https://www.facebook.com/share/r/3A67xLR2eriRD3Ym/ Since you have a cough Mand, I thought you would enjoy this 🙂

paul

Kid Icarus on the NES

OutlawStar

Final fantasy 9

Stevus

I like the puppies idea 🥹🐶

Stevus

Also, not sure if 44 is joking or it's a real game with a maraca controller? 😅 seems like it could go either way.

Stevus

Mariokart, but also Morrowind changed my life, but it's not strictly console so...

AWR93

Hope you feel better today Mandy 🤗

Hypnobob

JRQOTD FTW!

Hypnobob

Adventure on the Atari

Josh Read

I enjoyed the dreamcast. Never had that game though

Jeffrey44

Samba de Amigo on the Dreamcast with maraca controller. It's great.

Josh Read

Zelda ocarina of time for the n64

Joshyboiiiiii

Btw I did type one out and thought I'd pressed send but I mustn't have

Joshyboiiiiii

Random question of the day. What's everyone's favourite console game they've played?

Joshyboiiiiii

Oh god I can't have that. Right I'll put one up rn

Hypnobob

If we don't get one today I'm gonna lose it.

Joshyboiiiiii

I'd like to apologise for the lack of random question of the day yesterday 🥺 it'll never happen again

Josh Read

Very good point

Josh Read

This is the only frog Mandy. Get some sleep and feel better soon 💕

Josh Read

🐸

Stevus

Is there a frog? I'm so sorry o marvelous Miss Mandy, but it seems we've decided, you've gone HOPPING MAD!!🤪

Aren

I don't think anyone noticed, on the sculpture/score a goal task it didn't say you had to use the roller, so they could have had a much easier time. For the break something task, I would have just gone on a rant about politics, breaking my mind, then have them bring puppies into the room to fix it :D

Stevus

Care for a Liquorice allsort? or Licorice as an American would say.

Benjamin Taylor-Yates

First you're whinging of incessant heat and now you get a cold?? You are a gifted one, it seems. Hope you feel better Mrs Cyrus. ❤️ Get BBC iPlayer and a VPN if needed anf start watching Claudia Winkelmens new series the Traitors. I've been obsessed with it all week. So good!!!

Josh Read

Maybe she is delusional from being ill 🤒 poor woman 😔

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Good lord Mr Chaplin.

Stevus

That was an episode! Nothing really stood out too much for me, but it was pretty good all round I guess. I quite enjoyed your little anecdote about the subjective nature of Art appreciation. So true. The highlight for me, although you will not understand it yet, is at 12:50ish where you start practicing your slug balancing act. Hopefully one day you'll get that. Don't worry, I'll remind you. 😉🤗

Tee Tee

Years ago I would often wake myself up by laughing, apparently it happens when you are in the dream state and is quite common in lucid dreamers or those with sleep disorders. I would never remember what I was dreaming about but it must have damn funny.😊

Stevus

I got the owl, the bowling ball, watermellon etc. I've examined those chairs pretty thoroughly myself. Can't find a frog 🤷‍♂️

Stevus

Ever the warrior for social inclusion. Keep up the fantastic work Mr 44.👍😘

Stevus

🎶when the night, has come... and the land is dark, and the moooon is the only, light we'll see, dum, dum dum dum,dum. NO I WON'T, BE AFRAID, NO IIIIIIIII WON'T, BE AFRAID, just as loooong, as you stand, stand by me, so darlin DARLIN STAND, BY ME, etc etc. 🎶 something like that.

Josh Read

Man flu can be deadly be careful man amd rest up. I'm not afraid of old squeaks, I can distract her with some crayons and a colouring book whilst I get the ketchup ready, job done 😎

Jeffrey44

All the items hanging up were related to the board game Cluedo (or Clue as an American would say).

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

If Mandy does come to the UK and has an MCL meet-up, she will rock up wearing a full hazmat suit and take us all out. Also, I wasn't feeling well myself. I just got back from the doctor I have a chest infection, of course, man flu kicked in immediately. You are on your own Josh. Good luck. 🤣🤣

Josh Read

It's OK she's too weak to fight back. Quick get the condiments and aim for the eyes 😊

Jeffrey44

If you ever wondered what your friend's Mother's breasts look like, and you surely will have done, you could just look at one of those sculptures and you'd probably have a fair idea.

paul

Yeah I know, that's why I deleted it. Couldn't think of another way of making it work.... oh well... 😆

Josh Read

My friend and his dad not my dad and his friend 🤣

paul

Mandy waking up in the middle of the night laughing and not knowing why made me think of Karl being asked what the most terrifying sound was and picking "a baby laughing". 😆

Josh Read

Tit really wood

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

I used to sculpt the same thing. Just kidding. That would be ridiculous, wooden tit?

paul

Hahaha, "is Spanish French?" was amazing! That's up there with Karl's "how would I know which one I was?" 🤣

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Haha, bless her. We can't pick on her if she is sick. Can we? 😂

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Is Spanish French? Can I get tetanus from eating rust? I like how smally he is. I can't give them all away yet, If you have any favorites add them to the list lol.

paul

I still smirk whenever Mandy says "knob", as she did in this a few times. I like how she's learnt all this British slang but that's the only word she's started saying herself. And it's the way she elongates the "o" so it sounds like "knarb"... 😆

Josh Read

I had no idea what she was talking about. Just smile and nod.

Josh Read

My friends dad used to make wooden sculptures of breasts and display them around the house. It was very strange 🤔 I don't know if I've ever woken up laughing before, but I woke up with tears in my eyes this morning as I dreamt my brother died. It took me a few seconds to remember I don't actually have a brother 🤣

paul

Haha, what else is on that list so far?

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

That's another one for the top 10 list of Mandy-isms I'm compiling.

paul

"Wait... the intactness is part of the pointness?" 😂

Krista

So robust means sturdy, so even though it wasn't stated on the task, the most intact statue proved the statues sturdiness therefore is the most robust statue. Hopefully that makes sense.

Jonathan Davies

I think the guy who was always showing his sad face when he was inevitably put last was Phil Wang 👀😂

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Froggy faces, owls, are you OK, Mandy? 😂 I love waiting for your reaction to Alex's little skits before and after the ad breaks to see if they meet your expectations. At the 26:00 minute mark, Mandy laughed and unpaused the video. You can hear a woman laughing the same way unless there is an echo in Mandy's room. If you Google the description, it finds Ben E. King, so you were close. Great reaction, as always. I hope you feel better soon Squeaks. 🤗

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

I once woke up halfway out of bed, one hand on the floor waving the other hand like a lunatic and shouting, all because I dreamt I had a spider on me. I don't do spiders. I have also laughed several times when I was younger, so I've been told.

Jonathan Davies

Mandy with the sexy sick Phoebe voice 🔥😂
