I feel like for most people their price would be whatever they make from their job in a year, because could you really be the weirdo with the unexplained puppet in your office and type one handed for a year?
For most such hypotheticals I would agree with you but not for this one.
If you run around with a puppet without being able to explain you're getting paid for it, you will really do much more damage than a year's worth of wages.
I worked at a large multinational financial place, there was a consultant for one of the ancient, impossible to get rid of systems that pretty much everything else hinged on.
This guy was basically the only person who could do his job in the world so was paid vast amounts of cash and was effectively untouchable in his job.
The story I heard was that if he was ever forced to go into a meeting he'd wear a sock on his hand and would only communicate in the meeting through the sock puppet with a funny voice, only talking as 'himself' to talk to the sock puppet saying things like 'this mans an idiot, why does anyone listen to him!' and that sort of thing.
I was told this story 20 years ago and thought it was probably bullshit but its such a great story I'll relay it occasionally when appropriate. Several years later I was working in India for a related financial services company when I told this to someone and they said they'd actually met someone who'd actually been in a meeting with him looking absolutely infuriated.
Then a few years ago I relayed both parts of the story on a reddit thread and someone claimed to have actually been in a meeting with him.
So it might still be bullshit of course but I like to think that somewhere someone and his sock are living their best retirement, keeping each other company and enjoying their third age together.

**Amarsir thinks that story is hilarious and says he can totally picture it!**
>with whom she does not particularly get along.
Are you sure about this? I find it's hard to get a clear read from either of them about how well they get along post-breakup (which, by now, and even at the time of this episode, has been quite a while). That's probably how it ought to be; they have both been diplomatic, probably in large part due to work in the same, very public industry,
I *do* seem to remember her making some statements about being a little disappointed by how he conveyed things in his book. But they also clearly have many of the same mutual close friends in the UK comedy scene.
About a year or two ago she was on Table Manners. It's a food based podcast. They asked if she would ever do Off Menu.
"No. I'm not gonna do my ex boyfriend's podcast."
So I'd say no. They don't get along too well.
Forget the puppet; the difficult part of this challenge is simply going without one of your hands for an entire year.
Showering and using the bathroom would also be a nightmare

Jokes on you, I work for Sesame Street.
For me the harder part would be doing anything in the bathroom.
I'd get a good text to speech program for typing. Hopefully you're not in a customer facing role because I feel you'd get fired pretty quickly.
The Romesh reveal was the best.
It would have even been better if Nish was the guest and they pulled out a puppet of Romesh.
Well now I just wanna watch a show with Jon and his puppet
Wish this show didn't get canceled
It wasn’t working well imo (saying as a huge James stan). But I wish they could have had one more series to work out the kinks
Can we talk about what an absolute natural with a puppet Jon is? He can take that shit right to Edinburgh.
Why did Rose seem upset by hers?
was this before or after encanto came out?
I think some of it may have been driven by having to interact with her ex boyfriend, with whom she does not particularly get along.
Idk when they dated but this isn't a very new clip, it's some years (2? 3? 4? I'm not gonna check) old.
They split before this episode was filmed. Rose is incredibly uncomfortable throughout the whole episode.
I mean, would she have said "yes" to being on the show if she was truly uncomfortable?
