Chapter 3: What quirky items did Alex Horne bring to the podcast?
This episode's guest might have the best job ever, getting comedians to do the most outrageous and random tasks for the sake of a good laugh. He's also a band leader of the horn section and lives on a farm with no animals. Between his wife and their three kids, he ranks himself as second to last when it comes to organisation. So there are definitely things for us to unpack.
It is the genius mind and creator of Taskmaster, Alex Horne. Hi, Billie.
Hello. Thank you. Do we shake hands?
Oh, we can. Nice to meet you. I've never shaken anyone's hands on this before.
Well, I'm very formal. You know that.
I love that.

Chapter 4: How does Alex's home reflect his career on Taskmaster?
Thank you.
You've got to start with a handshake. We'll shake at the end as well.
Do we not hug by the end? Nope.
No, thank you.
Oh, okay. Sorry. No physical contact?
Strictly business.
Strictly business. Okay, so we'll shake hands at the end too.
And that'll be that. And we'll never look at each other again.
And that will be it.

Chapter 5: What unique upcycling ideas does Alex have for vacuum cleaners?
That's the plan. Oh, that's sad news already.
Thank you for having me.
It's such a treat to have you here. Honestly, I'm so honoured that you're sitting in front of me because you've gone 21 series of Taskmaster, is that correct?
That is correct, yeah. Yeah, it's a long time, isn't it?
21 series, 120. You're on six. Do you remember back to when it was like series one to five, when you were at series six?
I do. I mean, it's only 10... It's 10 years ago, which seems a long time. But, you know, I definitely feel like the new boy still. Still feeling... And we all feel like children, don't we?
I would say you probably more than me because I am super serious, whereas I think you are very fun.

Chapter 6: How does Alex balance his role on Taskmaster and being a dad?
Are you super serious? Well, I think... You are quite serious.
I can be quite serious. I feel like I'm the more serious one. I'm not very good at thinking outside the box. Or maybe I am.
You think inside the box. That's your job.
I like everything in a box. Yeah, I know you do. That is my job. Before we start looking at your items, can I just ask you a few quickfire home truths?
Yes, please.
Okay. How would you describe your home in a sentence?

Chapter 7: What does Alex think about decluttering his home?
Okay. Well, I've just moved home, so it only recently feels like a home. It felt like we were living in someone else's home for the first two months. It will be a dream family home full of noise and colour and chaos. Nice. But right now it's full of builders and ladybirds.
Builders and ladybirds.
We have a ladybird infestation.
Ladybird infestation.
We have so many ladybirds, thousands. Do you know you can sell ladybirds?
No, you cannot.
Guess how much one adult ladybird costs on the free market?
I'm going to go for £50.
For one ladybird?

Chapter 8: What stories are behind the items Alex has kept?
Yeah. No.
You know what ladybirds are?
Yeah.
Yeah, no. 75 pence. 75 pence? I thought that was a lot. 50 quid a ladybird.
I was just thinking if maybe you don't box them up and you sell them, they're quite hard to catch.
No, they're easy. I don't think you know what a ladybird is.
How many ladybirds are there?
I would say 500.
So have you been selling them by the hundreds?
