Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must bring in the best thing to have at night, spin around and then score a basket, invent a new exercise machine, win something, record a vaguely interesting podcast, and survive a game of flour vacuum roulette.

Title context

Dai Henwood claimed to have been into "steroids and cigarettes" from a young age, during the 'Invent a new exercise machine' task.

Assistant Intro

And by my side, as always, is a man whose incessant calls, texts, emails and DMs I have never and will never ever reply to ― it's Paul Williams!

Taskmaster's Sign-off

We learnt that not having anything to say isn't a barrier to starting a podcast. Most importantly, we learnt that Ray O'Leary is the winner of episode eight.
