Ed Gamble· Host0:13
Hello. Welcome- Hello ... Mel, to the Taskmaster Podcast.
Mel Giedroyc· Guest0:16
Hey.
Ed Gamble· Host0:16
Isn't this exciting?
Mel Giedroyc· Guest0:17
It's really good. Can I just ask, have you got one of the Taskmaster trophies there in vision behind you?
Ed Gamble· Host0:23
Yes, not just one of the Taskmaster trophies, my Taskmaster trophy.
Mel Giedroyc· Guest0:25
Your Taskmaster trophy. Can I ask you how that felt? Sorry to just- No, please, please ... turn the tables. How did it feel to win?
Ed Gamble· Host0:34
I tell you what, it, it was an amazing feeling. I was very happy to have won, but also it felt kind, I felt kind of dirty for winning. [laughs] Because it's so arbitrary, and then I was quite, um... During the last episode, I got quite het up, uh, and quite competitive- Yeah, yeah [laughs] ... and quite angry. Uh, and then I feel like in that situation when I've, I don't believe you've ever been angry or competitive, Mel, in, in your life. Um- Mm, mm. Mm, am I wrong?
Mel Giedroyc· Guest1:01
Bit, little bit com- little bit competitive. Little bit competitive.
Ed Gamble· Host1:05
Little bit competitive.
Mel Giedroyc· Guest1:05
Yeah.
Ed Gamble· Host1:05
Well, I was furious for the final episode.
Mel Giedroyc· Guest1:07
Oh, oh.
Ed Gamble· Host1:08
And when that pays off and you actually win, you can't help but feel a little bit sort of sordid.
Mel Giedroyc· Guest1:13
Did the others really turn against you?
Ed Gamble· Host1:15
Oh, yeah. Well, they turned against me from minute one. [laughs] They could, they could see who I was. Um, but no, it did, it did feel good.
Mel Giedroyc· Guest1:22
Is it, is it rubber? Is it rubber, that trophy? I've- It's not, it's not rubber.
Ed Gamble· Host1:25
It's sort of, I'd say, cheap plaster or plastic.
Mel Giedroyc· Guest1:28
Oh.
Ed Gamble· Host1:28
It's fairly hollow.
