Rhys’ huntsman spider

Rhys points out that they don’t drive and claims that they had to ask their husband what a dashboard is. As an Australian, Rhys says the most distracting thing to have on a dashboard is a huntsman spider. They describe a scenario in which spotting the spider could lead you to veer off the road and end up in jail for manslaughter.

Rhys’ spider is stood on top of a parking ticket, which Rhys notes is also distracting. However, they claim that the most distracting detail is that the spider has a Southern Cross tattoo (a symbol of Australian national pride) on its back.

Tom Gleeson counters that huntsman spiders are harmless and not venomous, and therefore not distracting. Rhys responds by calling him a sociopath, and ups the ante by asking “Did I mention that the huntsman has a gun?”.

Rhys earns just 1 point.
