I walked past Ray O'Leary the other day and I thought 'gosh, that's Ray O'Leary'. I haven't yet walked past Melanie Bracewell but I will update you if I do.
This is not a question, Markwatson, this is just me being a good boy and interacting with the content as was previously requested, cajoling the algorithm into spreading the good news.
Really enjoying these Taskmaster NZ cameos. I'm especially grateful as I hadn't realised that I'd missed that 4th series until seeing Ray for the first time on last week's YHCIH. I've since watched all 10 episodes and throughly enjoyed them. Ray and Melanie were my favourites (along with the always wonderful Paul Williams) so it was a nice surprise to see Melanie pop up on this week episode! Keep them coming Mark. It's really making my Sundays - just like Friday's used to be with the No More Jockeys downloads.
Kudos to Alex for (mostly) managing to successfully navigate his most treacherous route yet - hope the court case goes well. So happy I finally got a question in! Thank you for the very enlightening answer - of course it is the hats, how could I be so foolish. Mel was a lovely guest for this week, and nice to see Ray was also included on a sort of “yes, he is here too I guess” type placement. I had a wildly chaotic thought that it would be great to see Tim Key join you for one of these, but not sure the tone would stay helpful in that case… still, the idea remains!
You got Arthur Smith interacting. You can die happy. What was he wearing when he asked his query? Best ever Unbelievable Truth lecture, Barbie, find it.
If a tree falls in the woods and no one's there to hear it, what will become of the displaced squirrel and crow that had made it their home? Optional follow up question: Do you think they'll be able to set aside their past grudges in order to work together and rebuild?
Background colour: Past grudges Squirrel, incessant cawing based racket from crow whilst trying to watch VHS recordings of 70s children's program You And Me, although Alice was a hamster, squirrel found her to be relatable, truth be told there was an element of interspecies lust, but squirrel would take that secret to his grave. There was also that time when crow shat on squirrel from a great height, took squirrel ages to get it out of his fur, also, the smell lingered which coincided with a visit from his mother. As his mum was about to leave she remarked how she was disappointed with his lack of hygiene, but before he could tell her about the crow shit incident she was away to a neighbouring tree, she was still quite nimble despite her age. Past grudges Crow, around 3 years ago, crow brought a girl back after a night on the town, he'd met Sheryl a week before at a murder mystery walk that was led by a pheasant with a limp and an unusual high pitched voice, they giggled about their collective name and just seemed to hit it off. Before returning to his pad for coffee, he decided to give her a tour of the forest floor around his home, he mimicked the high pitched pheasants voice as he pointed out areas of interest which made her laugh, she had an endearing laugh he thought. But all that fun and laughter came to an end when Sheryl slipped on a pile of discarded nutshells, crow had complained to squirrel about this mess only yesterday and now this, Sheryl had fallen awkwardly and a piece of nutshell became lodged in her cloaca, after 10 minutes of fumbling around she managed to remove it but she felt deeply ashamed at her lack of decorum, made her excuses and left, he never saw Sheryl again. There was also that time squirrel told crow his beak looked stupid.
there is a reason why "Lemon" is an anagram of "Melon", It's becasue the English language has hundreds of thousands of words, but only 26 letters to make words out of, of course you're going to have to use the same group of letters in a different order sometimes
It's obvious. The olden days are the days before anyone you can ask. My Mum, for example, born at the end of WW2. Therefore the olden days are pre WW2, and basically continue up to about the Egyptians. Pre-writing is too far back.
What is the best TV theme tune of all time? I reckon it was The Raccoons but Cagney and Lacey, Van der Valk, Perfect Strangers, Laverne and Shirley and The All New Alexei Sayle Show (Life's a Big Banana Sandwich) should all get honourable mentions. Oh and so should The Family Ness and Bagpuss. Oh and Quantum Leap. I can't believe I forgot about Quantum Leap.
Why do people ask for an input/opinion when they then choose their own way anyway? (Also guilty). Also- Aaron Chen as a guest! Loving this series, hope you're all having fun!
I really do wish you'd revise your "Make Alex walk backwards through large crowds" policy. Sticking to your principles is important of course, but IT'S SO STRESSFUL to watch.
A lot of the confusion surrounding "the olden days" comes from your friend and mine timkey. Pretty sure you didn't feel it to be so fiddly until it was pronounced to be some time in the 1960's by that so called man of ours Thankfully
This is a funny series, but your brushoff of the morality of buying prepared fruit was perhaps a bit too casual. There is definitely a morality behind buying fruit that is already cut up and in plastic containers. The plastic itself is one issue, another issue is the dumbing down of the consumer and the overpricing of the product, and among other issues I'll also list that prepared fruit is an indicator of people being forced to work too long and spend too little time doing pleasant activities like preparing fruit with their families. To say there's no such thing as morality when it comes to food would piss off any decent vegan to no end--not that I agree with their morality but it's definitely a morality based on food. I think this is the question you'll have to walk back your answer on next week--since there's always at least one you have to walk back.
One could address the morality of pre-prepared fruit, but I don't think it'd be possible to arrive at an objective answer regarding it. There are people with, for example, physical or mental needs, for whom pre-prepared fruit allows them to eat an overall healthier diet, and it'd be hard to determine with certainty a morally greater good between taking care of your personal health and eating in ways that are best for the earth (especially given the minimal impact of any single person on the well-being of the planet). Likely the only discussion that can really be had is over specific moral issues within the sale of pre-prepared fruit, such as whether a better packaging could be found, the wages provided to workers, etc, all situations where the morality falls largely on the company and not the person purchasing the fruit.
@@mythaliveI love both these comments and think they're both broadly correct. I think some of the moral discussion also has to fall on the society consuming the prepared fruit, and in some cases fresh fruit. I think people with physical and mental needs could be accommodated by well-paid carers in a truly caring society. And then you have the case of the banana, lots of which, at least that we get here in the US, come from an environmentally detrimental monoculture that was violently imposed in Guatemala. And then they take a long, diesel powered journey to reach your local grocery store contributing to climate change that threatens the very place they're coming from. I think the most moral way of eating fruit would be fresh and local, and helping those who need it. But that's obviously not the world we live in, people have long commutes to alienating jobs to contend with.
@@Sam-lr9oi Good points. My only argument would be with substituting something that allows independence (buying already prepared fruit) with something that makes the person dependent (relying on a caregiver). As a person who's been through clinical depression (it can be hard to muster up energy to feed yourself at all, let alone prepare a meal), I still felt slightly better and more empowered opening a package of prepped food than I would have if I'd felt dependent on others to feed me. And as a special education teacher, I place a strong focus on preparing my students to be as independent as possible in their future adult life due to the freedom, dignity, and self-confidence that allows. I could see a middle ground of having someone available at the store to prepare fruit (similar to cutting meat at the meat counter), which would reduce it to an as-needed basis and possibly make environmentally friendly packaging easier since the food wouldn't need to be shipped and stored in that packaging. And if we could, ideally, place more emphasis on local in-season fruit as you suggest, it would certainly help.
I would assume a lot of canned fruit wouldn't be saleable otherwise, due to being not in perfect shape or slightly below quality needed for selling fresh. This a common strategy with veggies too, so if anything I suspect it reduces food waste

Real spectrum in this one, from putting children in danger to putting the elderly in danger.
I don't know why but as they're Mark's kids, I think I might fear more for Ray.

The best time to be alive is now, for certain. Contrary to rumours (and songs), things not only can, but will, get worse.

Glad to send a postcard with a question like in the olden days, Mark can you get a PO Box like Tiswas/Swop shop?
Please invite Nish Kumar……..or like Sally Phillips, someone from your series of Taskmaster
great to see the taskmaster cheerleader. and again get abi clarke
Thanks Mark, appreciate the answer!
Stoked that you are promoting the catalogue of kiwi comedians!!

If you're on a Kiwi kick, get Paul Iggo--he was hilarious on NZ Taskmaster.

pickles or nah?
Am I the only person that eats the entire kiwi fruit, skin and all?
There's at least 2 of us
Clearly the Olden Days were in black and white. Sepiatone is the Wild West. Pre-photography is Ancient Times.
No More Jockeys as a future Olympic sport or nah?
Request for Pete Heat so he can magic up some answers!
There weren't any questions about fireworks in this video. Did you do it on purpose to prove that person was wrong about failure?

I'd like to comment on this video, but I can't see a PO Box number anywhere.
Will your guests on YHCIH only be former contestants from New Zealand Taskmaster or nah?

Q. If you say *I'm Not Going to Mention Something ... Did you just mention it??
Next time Mark should walk backwards
Why do people ask for opinions on stuff then go with whatever they want to anyway (also guilty of this)? Also,... AARON CHEN!
Do you eat the skin of a kiwi fruit, or nah?

I have a question, would you only want £20 to have a Kiwi in your mouth, for a minute? Just asking as a gay, New Zealander. :)

Don't eat concreate kiwi fruit. Bad for the teeth.
