It is, of course, former Taskmaster contestant from Series 19. He lives in America. It's Jason Mantzoukas. We're not gonna, we're not gonna turn down Mantzoukas. We're not gonna not get Mantzoukas on, are we? Come on. You know, and we're also not flying him over to do, to do the Taskmaster Podcast. That, that would be insane, and it's not within, uh, my personal budget or within the budget of, of the Taskmaster Podcast. Um, Alex probably could have shelled out for it, but he, he, he said he, he said he didn't want to. He just m- mumbled at me down the phone. But very excited to be speaking to Jason.
