Assistant Intro

In all good households, there’s a scale, a yardstick, and a stopwatch from the 1940s. I have all of that and more, in a little doohickey that fits in my pocket. It goes by the name David Sundin.

Episode prize

The prize in this episode is the two toasters used in the ‘Build the tallest crispbread tower while always making toast’ task.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

What have we learned today? Don’t rap to teenagers. Don’t bicker while at the toaster. And David’s bad at many things, but the worst at arm wrestling.
