Starting point is 00:00:00 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to London's fragrant Camden Town. This is Cheap Show. My name's Eli Silverman and here's your other host, it's Paul Gannon. So, hello, welcome to the show. I am Paul Gannon. I'm Ash Frith. I'm Eli Silverman, hello. So, yes, it's a show of games and chat and talk and fun. Our guest tonight comes from all the way from America. Ooh, I know, it's exciting.
Starting point is 00:00:40 He now lives over here. Some of you might be aware of his work as the silent death machine himself, Ninja Brian from Ninja Sex Party. Or others may be aware of his role as being an amazing physicist. I know. But suffice to say, he only goes by one real name. And round of applause to it because it's Brian Wecht, everybody! On he comes. Right, so.
Starting point is 00:01:02 Hey, everybody. Hello. How are you? I'm great. How are you? I'm well. Thank you for coming on to the show today. Thanks for having me. How's life been treating you? On he comes. It's a lady girl. That's right. It's a lady girl baby. Baby girl. I remember the lady girl baby. She's got a personality now. Good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:26 And how are you finding it? Feisty? Yeah. Rebellious? You need to squash that soon? No, I'm trying to. Trying to squash it as soon as you can. Well, we like to get our guests to come in and relax,
Starting point is 00:01:34 and we have a little questionnaire for them that we like to get them involved in, and just find out a little bit more about you. So, Eli, are we ready for the Brian interview? Yes. All right, cool. I'll do the first question. Now, I've researched this because of the physicist stuff.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Great. So I need your advice on this. Now, I've had to write this down because I didn't want to get it wrong. So here's the question. Okay. It's a bit of a long one. So basically it's why does time seem to move forward, okay? The space dimensions are interchangeable, but time is distinct because it seems to move in only, as we all know, one direction.
Starting point is 00:02:03 Time doesn't run backwards, and a theory of everything would need to explain this discrepancy between the mathematical symmetry of time and the physical asymmetry of time. But with all that in mind, that if time can be preventing unfolding in and of itself, and you have to sacrifice something to prevent it, what would you rather lose, your penis or your tongue? So it's just the last part that I'm answering, right? What would you rather lose, your penis or your tongue? I think I could...
Starting point is 00:02:27 Let's go with penis. Penis. You think you could go for the rest of your life happily without the penis? I don't know about happy.
Starting point is 00:02:32 I mean, you're not saying I'm going to be happy with one of these options. Oh, you might have to be. It might be that, you know, you're
Starting point is 00:02:37 going to have to come to terms with the fact that you will be penisless in a penisful world. Half the world is not penisful. Is it?
Starting point is 00:02:45 Yeah. I have a daughter. Right. It's quite penisful in here penisful world? Half the world is not penisful. Is it? Yeah. I have a daughter. Right. It's quite penisful in here tonight, though, eh? Indeed it is. Right. I see what you're getting at. I like food. I'd rather be able to eat for the rest of my life. Oh, of course I haven't even thought about the food element of the tongue. I just thought about talking. No, no, no. What would you rather lose? Oh, that's a good point. I didn't even think about talking.
Starting point is 00:03:01 You see, this is already a deeper topic than just we thought. That's right. So start with one of the big unsolved mysteries of theoretical physics, the era to talk. Oh, that's a good point. I didn't even think about talking. Yeah. You see, this is already a deeper topic than just we thought. That's right. So start with one of the big unsolved mysteries of theoretical physics, the arrow of time, and you turn it into a dick joke. Yeah, quite expertly, I thought, as well. Yeah, it was really well done. I thought I'd get a bit of a swathe into it.
Starting point is 00:03:15 You're a professional. Yeah, thank you. So you're going to go with penis. I'm going to go with penis. Eli, what would you say, penis or tongue? I don't think I've ever asked you. What would I rather lose? What would you rather do without?
Starting point is 00:03:26 I have to lose it happily. It's just part of the... Yeah, you have to smilingly give it up. You have to put it on a chopping block, grinning the whole time. I think I'd have to go for penis as well. Wow. Right.
Starting point is 00:03:36 Do you not get much use out of your penis? No, I'm a fucking tramp. Right, good. And Ash, Ash, what would you rather lose in that instance? I've got no use for a penis. Right.
Starting point is 00:03:48 I've procreated. You've done it. Oh, yeah, because you've both had kids. How old's yours? Seven. Oh, my God. Terrifying. It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:03:56 I've got no control. So you'll happily get rid of the penis. You will happily. I don't want to do it again. All right, good. I made that mistake. It's unanimous. It's unanimous.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Well, I was going to go with my tongue. Why? I'd rather live as a mute sex machine. It's really that simple. I'd be the mysterious guy in the bar who never speaks and points at his penis the whole time to prove it still exists. That'd be your whole way of communicating. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:20 Via your penis. You know those guys who have the big arrow signs and they spin them to direct people to the shops? Yeah. I'd have one of those guys directly standing next to me directly pointing
Starting point is 00:04:29 a spinning arrow at my junk. Classic. So how would a conversation go? Oh, hello. There wouldn't be a conversation. I've got no tongue. No, the person
Starting point is 00:04:37 who's talking to you comes in. Hello. Hello, Paul. Wouldn't you keep one of those little pads you could write on? Oh. Do it again. Hello, Paul. Hello. Hello, Paul. Wouldn't you keep one of those little pads you could write on? Oh, do it again.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Hello, Paul. Hello. That's not... Hello, Eli. Sexy time. You couldn't do that without a tongue. That's bullshit. You just wanted to do your stupid voice.
Starting point is 00:04:58 Yeah, I did. That didn't work, did it? No. No. Can I ask, would it still be your... Penis. Penis. I'd get more stitched on. I'd make like a kind of dangly belt. No. Would it still be your penis? I'd get more stitched on. I'd make a kind of dangly belt of penises.
Starting point is 00:05:11 I don't know if this is going to work out for me. No? So you're saying... I think you've made a bad decision. Right. I agree with that. I think this is just a dumb idea. Right, okay, good.
Starting point is 00:05:20 It's good to know that my sexy Mute Man character, it's not going to work out. You could give it a try. I'm going to give it a try. No? Oh, I'll give it a try. I'd like to see what happens, personally. All right.
Starting point is 00:05:32 Should we put it to a vote? I'd just like to see you trying to talk with your penis. Some say I often do. If you have to buy a pint of milk, you just thwop it out. Yeah. That's Paul speak. I whip it out, and I go, half pint, please. And you can't talk, Paul.
Starting point is 00:05:48 You've got no tongue. No, because there's a note on the end of it. It's on with elastic band, and I kind of go, and the little old lady at the shop rolls it off, undoes it, and reads it. It says, milk, please. Dad says hi. Is it time for my question now?
Starting point is 00:06:04 Yeah, go on. Use your question. I completely lost the thread. now? Yeah, go on, use your question. I completely lost the thread. All right, okay, good. Your next question, your next question. Okay, so you're in a ninja sex party. That's right. And they're doing really well, aren't they?
Starting point is 00:06:14 Yeah, we're doing well. Yeah? So are you touring? We are not touring at the moment, but we're talking about it. You're talking about touring where? Probably mostly in the States, but we'd look at some dates over here.
Starting point is 00:06:24 And sort of what type of venues, size venues would you be? You're talking about touring where? Probably mostly in the States, but we'd look at some dates over here. And sort of what type of venues, size venues would you be? Anything that would have us at the moment. And how many people are in the band? How many members? Two. Two? And do you, I mean, could that be supplemented with... With a...
Starting point is 00:06:42 Is there something you want to ask me? No, no, I'm just curious What are you getting? I'm not getting anything I mean, we are looking for a backing band if that's what you're talking about Yeah, but that's sort of like second Sorry, are you?
Starting point is 00:06:55 Those people wouldn't actually be in the band No, no But do you actually know his work? Have you heard of the stuff? You know what it's like, right? Yeah, it's brilliant Yeah? Absolutely brilliant
Starting point is 00:07:04 Thank you It's your question. Great question. Okay, so you're good at music. Thank you. And the problem I have with music is I can't feel emotions. And what I'd like you to do is try
Starting point is 00:07:20 and inspire me through music right now with music. And I've got you something so you can play. Don't you worry, I've not left you landed. Do you need help? I like this bit of the show where I get to look at Paul's fucking... Mate, you need some work on your glutes.
Starting point is 00:07:35 This is not what I signed on. So, I've got you a musical instrument. It is a stylophone. You know what that is? I thought you were good at music. I'm amazing at music. But okay, it's a little... Do I get to keep this? No.
Starting point is 00:07:53 Wow. Tension. All right. So you can have a little play on that just to get used to it. I'm going to set this mic down. Yeah, yeah. That's fine. He's just going to have a little play of it now.
Starting point is 00:08:04 How is that Rolf Harris? Did he have a branded play of it now. How is that Rolf Harris? Did he have a branded one? Oh, did he? Did Rolf Harris have a branded one? You're always bringing up bad things, aren't you? I didn't know in this case I was going to bring up the spirits. Well, no, he's not dead. But the odious shadow of once beloved Rolf Harris.
Starting point is 00:08:19 It's not like he got the market on this kind of stuff anyway. I was listening to the radio the other day. Some guy used to do a Rolf Harrisris impersonation did he was on uh and obviously he doesn't do it anymore obviously not no i can't imagine this would work and he was like i feel like rolf harris has taken it away from me it's like oh yeah what rolf as well as being a pedo what what a bastard to you what a bastard he was you've ruined my. And also, he was on Stars in Their Eyes as Rolf Harris, this guy. Oh, God. And after the show was really popular, he wrote to Rolf Harris.
Starting point is 00:08:57 Right. Saying, hey, Rolf, I'm doing you or whatever. Do you want to come and say hello or something? Yeah. Right. And Rolf never got back to him. And this guy on the radio said the other day, and I could tell then there was something wrong with Rolf.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Only then in that conversation. Right, good to know. So, have you gotten to grips with it? Alright, so I'll throw you an emotion. Yeah. Right. So what I'm...
Starting point is 00:09:24 Yeah, well, I would like, first of all, fear. Is that coming through? Yeah. Okay. Right. So what... Give me an emotion and I try to convey it. Yeah. I would like, first of all, fear. I'm suitably frightened by that. That's nice.
Starting point is 00:09:39 So what have you got? What emotion would you like? Inclusion. That's not an emotion What's happened? I was being included in the song. What's happened to our podcast? Indeed, what has happened to it?
Starting point is 00:10:14 I've lost my voice. I don't know if you've noticed. I have noticed. It's all those screamy, screamy times you've been having. Rock and roll. Fun fair. Funfair. Funfair. That sounds like Obladi Oblidar.
Starting point is 00:10:30 It does. That's it. Plagiarism. He's just doing Obladi Oblidar. And that to me is a faux pas. I was impressed. You were impressed? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:39 All right. Yeah, go on. End it. Boom. Hey. Do you want it though? Yeah. All right. You can end it. Boom! Hey! Do you want it, though? All right, you can have it. Yay! I'm moving house.
Starting point is 00:10:50 I need to get rid of a lot of shit. So, congratulations. That's your prize. Do you have any more questions, then? Can I be in Ninja Sex Party, please? No. Oh. Fucking interview's over.
Starting point is 00:11:01 All right, good. In that case, we're going to hand over to Ash, and you can now take over with your section. What are you up to tonight? I've got a game that I'd like to
Starting point is 00:11:09 play, if that's okay. Yeah, go for it. Everyone's up for it. Go for it. I think that Paul and Eli,
Starting point is 00:11:16 I think you should be mainly taking part, I think, and then we can do it. So basically,
Starting point is 00:11:24 what the game is, you've all you've all know that jacob's crackers are incredibly difficult to eat aren't they sometimes yes so i thought we were dry they certainly are so i thought like if you stuff one of these each into your mouth taking it in turns i've then i've written some uh some categories and you can you've got to try and describe what's on the post-it note right to uh your team member. Yeah, and then we have to guess what it is. Oh, fair enough.
Starting point is 00:11:47 Yeah, are we happy with that? Whilst I'm eating a cracker. Yeah. Well, you've got, each time you do a new one, you've got to put another cracker in your mouth
Starting point is 00:11:53 and you've got to be chewing the whole time. Oh, shit. So, how many have you got? So, is it one at a time or? Well,
Starting point is 00:11:58 let's give you, how long do you want? A minute? A minute. Yeah. That seems fair. A minute seems fair. Yeah,

Starting point is 00:12:30 It might be the only one I do well at. So I've got to get through as many of these. Yeah, and you've got to act them. You can't say anything that's obviously on the card. You're a team. Right, so you've got to guess how many. Do we take turns? No, you do your minute.
Starting point is 00:12:44 I'll time you, and then you... And we'll see how many you get out of those. So I'm trying to guess the name of the film that he's hinting. Okay. And I'm not looking at the post-it. All right, okay. And I've got to put a new one in my mouth every time I get a new card. Yeah, so start with one in your mouth.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Oh, shit. All right, say when then. The whole one? I'm not looking. The whole one. And you've got to be chewing the whole time. I'm going to be sick. You must be sick.

Starting point is 00:18:16 No, no, no. Is that all right? Because it's... Well, that was a success. I refuse to believe otherwise. I enjoyed that. Right. The next part of the show is the game we like to call the Price of Shite.
Starting point is 00:18:27 It's the fucking Price of Shite. It's the fucking Price of Shite. It's the fucking Price of Shite. Oh, it's the fucking Price of Shite. And that's right. Got a jingle. Good. So this part of the game, one of us each week goes to a charity shop.
Starting point is 00:18:42 We buy a lot of stuff. And then the team here have to guess how much the items were and the winner gets a prize. So are we ready for Price of Shite this week? You're all playing? You're all in. Right. Right, here we go. Are you ready for
Starting point is 00:18:58 the Price of Shite? All these things I've found in a charity shop. What's the first item? Produce the first piece of shite. The first item is the Keep on Humming party game. God, you're so bad at buying the items. Why? That's really good. It's a game where you have to hum.
Starting point is 00:19:14 And the great thing about this game is you don't have to have cream fucking crackers in your mouth to do it. All right? Just so you know. That's not a piece of shite. That's a game. So I got it from the charity shop. And you have these cards and you have to hum. Let me hum.
Starting point is 00:19:28 Let me give you a guess, right, which songs are these. So who's going to get this, right? Is it the Crazy Frog? No, it's not. That's... Old reference from the 90s. Don't do any more. No.
Starting point is 00:19:59 No. Not in the air tonight. It was Eric Clapton's Wonderful Tonight. How dare you? All right. Okay. All right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:10 All right. Next one. All right. See if you guys can get this. All right. I'm going to hum a song and you've got to guess what this song is. This is the worst price of shy ever. It feels like we just did this game.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Yeah. It does. We'll do one more. Thank you, Brian. We'll do one more. Thriller. There we go. Good'll do one more. Thank you, Brian. We'll do one more. Thriller. There we go. Good.
Starting point is 00:20:28 So, right. So, with that in mind, how much do you think the Keep on Humming game bought in a cat age charity shop is worth? Can I ask a clarification on the rules? Yes, you can. Is this who's ever closest without going over? Basically, yes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:42 No. You can't go over. It's just who's ever closest. Whoever's closest. Oh, yeah. Whoever's closest gets the point. Because that changes the strategy, yes. No. You can go over. It's just who's closest. Oh, yeah. Whoever's closest gets the point. So that changes the strategy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Okay. So, Han, what did you want to... Eli, you're first. You know what? I'm finding it difficult to muster any interest because your selection of shite is lackluster! But I will do it
Starting point is 00:21:00 for the sake of the show. I'll give it a go, okay? Okay. I'm going to say it's a second-hand item, is it? Yes, I imagine it's a second-hand item. And you say it was the Cat AIDS place. Cat AIDS charity shop in East Hinchin. Neutering prevents AIDS in cats.
Starting point is 00:21:13 That's the one. Is that true? Yeah. Neutering does prevent AIDS in cats, yeah. And I learned that by buying this game. There was a shop up there, and that was the slogan. But then they took it down because I think it's quite a well-to-do area.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Yeah, so no one wants to see the word cat aids outside their boutique pop-up store. Too real. They didn't want to look at cat aids in the face. Just how much? £1.50. £1.50. Ash, how much do you think?
Starting point is 00:21:41 I'm going £2. £2, bold choice. And finally, Brian? I'm going to say £ Two pounds. Bold choice. And finally, Brian? I'm going to say three pounds. Three pounds. Okay. We'll come back to that. We'll come back to that.
Starting point is 00:21:51 Remember your prices. Next one. You're going to love it. It is an inflatable unicorn for cats. What? You can't not want a cat unicorn horn that you inflate and put on a cat's head. There you go. It's a real item that I bought in a shop about cat aids.
Starting point is 00:22:09 I need to remember that. So there you go. Have a quick look at that. This is awesome. Basically, you inflate it, and then against its own will, you apply elastic band around its head and put a horn on it. I'm just going to stop everything now. Where did you buy this?
Starting point is 00:22:25 Cat aid shop. Not that you don't go there to buy cat now. Where did you buy this? Cat Aid shop. You don't go there to buy Cat Aid. It's a charity shop. Someone told me you can get that in the store Urban Outfitters. That. Well, what I'm thinking is someone bought that at Urban Outfitters and went, It's a piece of shit. I'm going to give it to the charity shop.
Starting point is 00:22:41 I'll give it to the Cat Aid. And look, he's doing a theme, isn't he? He's doing a theme with his giving. Ooh. Ooh. I've got all this stuff to give it to the charity shop. I'll give it to the cat aids. Yeah. And look, he's doing a theme, isn't he? He's doing a theme with his giving. Ooh. Ooh. I've got all this stuff to give away. The price tag from Urban Outfitters is on here. Yeah, it's not that price.
Starting point is 00:22:51 I'll tell you that. Originally, eight pounds. Retails for eight pounds. Eight pounds that are originally sold for. Now, how much do you think I got that for? It's unbelievable how much these people, these fucking hipsters, will pay for that. Yeah. Did you see the back?
Starting point is 00:23:03 Isn't it? No. Cats love it and there's an extremely angry looking cat that is true i put that on my cat he was not happy in fact he did that whole thing where he crouched as low as he could in the corner of the house and just put his hand over his head yeah it's kind of sad so prices eli start with you again how much do you think that costs mark Mark down from £8. £8. I'm going to go for £2.
Starting point is 00:23:30 £2. Ash, how much do you think that's going to cost? No more than 50 pence. And finally, Brian. I'll say a pound. Anyone in the audience want to hazard a guess? How much do you think the cat thing might be? £5 for Virgil. Crazy talk.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Six pounds for the even crazier talking chap. Everyone's talking crazy. I don't know. 150. So you're agreeing with Eli. That's what I said. All right. Let's get that here.
Starting point is 00:23:57 Oh, actually, that's a good question. Can we agree with each other? No. Great. I actually want that not to be a thing. You can agree with the all handsome and beautiful audience tonight. And finally, this is a to be a thing. You can agree with the all-handsome and beautiful audience tonight. And finally, this is a multi-part thing. I got this from a charity shop, not the cat one.
Starting point is 00:24:13 So what this is like? This is from another charity shop. This is like Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 1. This is exactly that. It's multi-part. Classic reference. You're going to love this. That was lame, that film. It is the Paul Daniels TV magic show set
Starting point is 00:24:25 It's a little collection Of 1970s Magic tricks From TV You won't know these guys Paul Daniels I was so into this guy As a kid
Starting point is 00:24:36 I don't know how he made it Over to the Seriously I had his VHS These are a collection Of vintage Vintage magic tricks Can I tell my
Starting point is 00:24:44 Paul Daniels story as long as it then has some instrumental music when it goes out live yeah you can definitely talk about it and I will definitely
Starting point is 00:24:50 edit the live listen sent out so Paul Daniels I will only tell the three people who care I did a gig and Paul Daniels
Starting point is 00:24:58 was on and it was a tremendous gig and there was lots of connection this game. Not good at all. But what I will do... What a jerk.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Yeah. To prove that this works, I'll do one of the magic tricks right now. Right, this is the cup and balls. We're not going to work on the podcast, admittedly, but to the audience that these tricks do work, I'll do one now. It is the amazing cup and balls trick, right?
Starting point is 00:25:35 Cup my balls. Cup and balls, not cup your balls. Here we go. Suck my cup. I won't do that. Three balls. Suck my cup. Three balls.
Starting point is 00:25:51 What? What? Whoa! Dark magics tonight. So there you go. It's a Paul Daniels trick Okay now that is the price of shite So what are we going to try and guess Collective
Starting point is 00:26:11 I'll tell you this They all came at the same price So let's just say for example this was a penny Then the other three were a penny as well So what do you want me to guess The whole price for all four items It has to be a multiple of four. That's the hint.
Starting point is 00:26:27 One pound for each or one pound for all? You live in a gorgeous, beautiful world of realities that I can't possibly fathom, but I like your muster and I wish to agree with it. I like your muster. I was going to say must and then that didn't seem out, so I extended it
Starting point is 00:26:43 to muster. Either way... to say must and then that didn't seem out, so I extended it to muster. Either way... Oh no, don't you worry about that. No, it doesn't say one pound. It just says the number. This one? No, it says thirteen, but the three looks like a pound. It did look like one pound. Classic UK mistake.
Starting point is 00:27:01 Yeah, you fell into our trap. Right. Four items. All cost the fell into our trap. Right. Four items. All cost the same, but cumulative price, please. For Paul Daniel's magic trick set. Three pounds. Three pounds for Mr. Silverman. One pound.
Starting point is 00:27:16 One pound for Ash. And finally, two pounds for Brian. Right. Remember your scores. We're going to count them all up now and see who is the victorious winner. Okay, so let's go back to the first piece of shite. Which is the keep on humming. Great. I said 150.
Starting point is 00:27:32 I said two, didn't I? I said three. The price is one pound. Oh! I'm feeling it! I'm feeling it! I'm feeling the sex! I'm feeling the sex! Don't feel anything like that, please.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Right, next one. The inflatable unicorn horn. Oh, I'm really feeling it. How much did you think it was? I said... You said 150 again? You said 150, yeah. I said 150.
Starting point is 00:28:00 I said 50 pence. And I said one. The answer is 50 pence. Oh, he one. The answer is 50 pence. Oh, he's spot on. He's spot on. So that's a point. A point. And Brian hadn't.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Sorry. No. I've tried. I've tried to make some rational rules in this game. But Paul won't. Paul's little mind can't handle it. Only one rule. One rule at a time.
Starting point is 00:28:23 You're the kind of guy. You're like an adult Norton Crosses player, aren't you? Yeah, that's the worst analogy I've ever heard. Right, and finally, the magic set. How much for the Paul Daniels four-part? Let me just break it down for you. You're getting the magic cup and balls trick. You're getting the rope magic illusion.
Starting point is 00:28:45 You're getting the incredible magic draw. You're getting the incredible magic draw. And you're also getting the spot the ball. I don't know what that is. It's right there. Yeah, but it's a trick. So how much? I said three. Three pound. Ash said a pound. And I said two. The answer
Starting point is 00:29:01 is two pound. What the fuck? It's 50p for all of those. So, yeah. So you've all got a point each. So here's what we're going to do. Bonus. Actually, that's handy.
Starting point is 00:29:13 I've got a bonus round. Oh, that will. Very quick bonus round to see who is victorious. Right? It's the fucking price of shite. It's the fucking price of shite. It's the fucking price of shite. Oh, it's the fucking price of shite. It's the fucking price of shite. Oh, it's the fucking price of shite. And that's right.
Starting point is 00:29:27 The final thing is... A what? Top Trumps. Top Trumps. These are card games where each thing has stats and you measure the stats off against them. I don't know if you have anything similar to United. Like Magic the Gathering?
Starting point is 00:29:41 No, that's far sadder than that. That's saying something, unfortunately. So these are Top Trump's cards. They're a card game where people beat stats. And this one is UK comedians. So we've got Dara O'Brien, David Mitchell, Russell Howard,
Starting point is 00:29:58 who is a mum's favourite, it says on the card here, Russell Brand, Victoria Wood, all the great British comics, and Will Ferrell. Am I in there? Let me have a look.
Starting point is 00:30:07 What percentage of those people do you think I've heard of? Just say a name and I'll say yes or no. Dara O'Brien. Yes. David Mitchell. No.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Alan Carr. No. Stephen Fry. Yes. Jonathan Ross. No. Peter Kay. No.
Starting point is 00:30:21 You're lucky. Graham Norton. This is the best bit of the show. Tommy Cooper. No. Miranda Hart. Tommy Cooper?orton. This is the best bit of the show. Tommy Cooper. No. Miranda Hart. Tommy Cooper? No. He is one of the country. Give him that benefit. These guys are just thinking they're hearing
Starting point is 00:30:31 names full stop right now. Dame Edna Everidge. Yes, of course. Russell Howard. No. Frank Carson. No. Oh. Lee Mack. No. Michael McIntyre. Yes. Russell Brand. Yes. Victoria Wood. No. Ricky Gervais. Yes. Frankie Boy Brand. Yes. Victoria Wood. No. Ricky Gervais. Yes.
Starting point is 00:30:45 Frankie Boyle. Yes. Jack Whitehall. Is that Jack White? No. Okay. It's a skinnier, more horrible, less talented, spoiled version. Sounds great.
Starting point is 00:30:55 John Bishop. No. Paul Merton. Yes. David Walliams. No. James Corden. No.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Oh, wait, Corden, yes. Yeah. Lee Evans. No. Sasha Baron Cohen. Yes. Steve Coogan. Yes. Sarah Millicent. No. Oh, Corden, yes. Lee Evans. No. Sacha Baron Cohen. Yes. Steve Coogan. Yes.
Starting point is 00:31:08 Sarah Millicent. No. And Eli Silverman. No. There you go. You forgot Jimmy Carr. So what? Who's a no?
Starting point is 00:31:19 So we've ascertained how many of those Brian knows. Who should I know that I said no to? No, Frank Carson. Tommy Cooper. Who's that? He's an extremely famous comic, but he's a purposely shit magician. His whole shtick was. He was like 56.
Starting point is 00:31:34 He'd do bad magic tricks. But brilliant magic done badly, if that makes sense. A popular when? Up until the 80s when he died. He was kind of an old standard. Yeah, on stage. He died on stage. Oh, wow. Yeah,s when he died. He was kind of an old standard. Yeah, on stage. He died on stage. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Yeah, we know how that feels. So, Top Trumps. How much do you think this set of Top Trumps comedy players is? Eli? £1.50. £1.50. £2. £2.
Starting point is 00:31:58 £25. The answer is 75p. So I think that means Brian is our winner tonight. Round of applause for Brian. Strictly speaking... Oh yeah, no, I got that. Who said about 50? Oh yeah, so I'm closer.
Starting point is 00:32:16 But you said 20p. I said 25p. So I'm 50 closer. You certainly are. What's he won, Paul? I think I won a stylophone. Yeah, he won that. You've won.
Starting point is 00:32:27 You've already won. Stylophone set. Great, I get to keep it. Thank you. You can play on that and annoy children and lurk in the park and make spooky effects. Great. That's what I've done with it, and I suggest you do the same. Right, round of applause for Brian winning that round.
Starting point is 00:32:41 Yay! What's up next? Oh, the verses, the vinyl verses that round. What's up next? Oh, the vinyl verses. You're going to be our judge for this, Brian. Okay. Eli and I like to go record hunting. We go for vinyl shops.
Starting point is 00:32:55 We look in little boxes for all kinds of rare vinyl. And we find the worst stuff we can possibly imagine to play in front of you guys. And what we're going to do tonight is we've picked two songs. And you guys have to decide. With Brian as your overall vote, you're going to be the overroading vote overriding vote sorry of which one is the worst so eli what have we got today we've got this unspeakable unspeakable abomination it's a cultural abomination del costa with hot. Now, some of you might be able to recognise this gentleman on the cover of Del Costa's Hot Hot Hot. Virgil?
Starting point is 00:33:39 No. It's Timmy Mallet. This is the bit where we decide which of these records is worse, and it's going to be hard. Because that is really unspeakable. You'll listen to a bit of it. It's really very poor. So what, this is Timmy Mallet's?
Starting point is 00:33:55 Not Timmy Mallet. The group is called Del Costa. It's in the 90s. He'd gone by then. I don't understand what he was thinking. And there's a bit of humour on the back of this. Del Costa, a profile. Name, Del Costa.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Do you have an embarrassing middle name? Sol. Brothers and sisters, Brava Costa and Rica Costa and Plenty Costa. Oh dear. Favourite food, paella without rice. Do you see what he's done there? Without rice. You can't have it without rice, can you? Paella?
Starting point is 00:34:25 Yeah. You don't say paella? Paella. Favorite drink, sangria from that bag thing that spills all over you instead of in your mouth. Hilarious. Okay, so up against Del Costa, we've got, look at this. Look at this guy. Dusty Bin by Ted Rogers.
Starting point is 00:34:44 Another TV show. Oh, I learned about Dusty Bin. No, no, from Paul actually at the Geekatorium. That is my gift. Yeah. I learned about Dusty Bin. Dusty Bin was the character and he didn't what you wanted to do in this game show was avoid
Starting point is 00:34:59 winning Dusty Bin. Let's do it. Let's play. Play a song. That's Dusty Bin. So which's do it. Let's play. Play the song. That's Dusty Binn. Yeah. So which of these is worse? Okay. Del Costa with Hot Hot Hot. Olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, Back to the palm trees I'm going to see my girlfriend It was sunny down in the arms Okay, that was... We can all agree that was...
Starting point is 00:35:55 Bad. Truly abhorrent. You've enjoyed that, haven't you? In a way. This is Dusty Bin. Now that's some key work. He's on Dan Jolly and made out of tin. He's got face.
Starting point is 00:36:31 We all call him Dusty Ben. That's right. He's got a red nose and shiny cheeks. He knows all the answers like he never speaks. He's always dressed in a different disguise. See that twinkle in his eyes? I know the bad dreams. Paul, turn it off. Paul! So I lead the audience in deciding. Yeah, well, Brian, what do you think?
Starting point is 00:37:03 Just give us your thoughts and then tell us which you think is worse. You know, I actually, the backing band on this was reasonably sick. Like they were kind of nailing it. The lead vocals were terrible, but I thought musically the backing track on this was dead on. This was an abomination. This is a crime against humanity. The guy can't sing. The only thing cool about this was the kind of popcorn synth.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Yeah, I quite like that popcorn synth. Everything else about this was horrible. So for me, it's just an obvious choice that Dusty Ben, especially because this was a theme song, right? Well, it wasn't actually the theme music from the show. It was more of a sort of spin-off. Even worse. This is clearly the worst option, I think.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Okay, so we are saying Dusty Finn... Is anyone going to make a case for Hot Hot Hot being worse? I'd say it was worse because it was... You'd say that one was worse. Yeah, because this is just a bit of fun, you know? And it's got... It's just got a bit of fun. Oh, what are we going to fucking do?
Starting point is 00:38:04 You know, we've got this character kids listen to that right yeah not on purpose but this was actually designed to actually be played in nightclubs
Starting point is 00:38:13 do you know what I mean well it was the 90s ooh but again musically I don't think it's terrible what's going on there I think we should do it again no
Starting point is 00:38:22 no no one we burn it listen play no play the first like 10 seconds of it and if you didn't if you didn't know anything about where this came from or who it was by tell me this isn't yeah this isn't okay cut it off after like i'll tell you when to cut it off there yeah right not terrible it was well produced wasn't it yeah i think that's true this it sounds like this guy just did everything himself. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's super off-key. Yeah, I'm with you.
Starting point is 00:39:07 Yeah, he's not a singer, Ted Rogers. I think we agree this is worse. Yeah. Dusty Bin with Ted Rogers. Ted Rogers with Dusty Bin is the worst record. Great. Which one lost? Which one was the worst?
Starting point is 00:39:20 Dusty Bin. Yeah. Then congratulations, Dusty Bin, for being shit. Right. So, on to the final part of the show ooh and it's called Cheap Eats
Starting point is 00:39:29 and you've got Eli's brought the Cheap Eats tonight Cheap Eats is where we go to shops around the UK mostly London and pick up things
Starting point is 00:39:36 that we find that are unusual not brand name stuff and so tonight we're going to try a few foods out is that a Target bag certainly is
Starting point is 00:39:43 do you guys have Target here let's just let them. So when we started. So we go on cheap eat finds. We look for off-brand food. Yeah, where do we do that? Everywhere, don't we?
Starting point is 00:39:53 Not just in London, like you said. Not just in London, is it? No, sometimes we go around the world and have food. So what have you got? I've been to America. And I've bought some cheap eats from America. Because they love crap food out there, don't they? Do they? Brian, would you care to comment?
Starting point is 00:40:10 Yeah. Food sucks in America. Right. Okay, good. Because now we all know that British food is the best. We can now move on. No? All right.
Starting point is 00:40:17 Okay, I got confused. All right. What have you got today? Now, I was quite surprised at just how unspeakable some of the stuff you can buy out there is. Right. Where were you when you got that? I was in South Florida. Oh.
Starting point is 00:40:31 Let's start with something nice, though, yeah? Okay, thank you. Now, these are Funyuns Flamin' Hot Flavor. Ooh. Now, that's unusual, isn't it? Yeah. You guys have Funyuns here? Funyuns. We don't call them Funyuns here? Funyuns?
Starting point is 00:40:45 We don't call them Funyuns. They'd be called Bobby's Onion Rings. But essentially the same thing. That's a lot less fun. We do have Funyuns, but they're not branded as such, are they? They're like Bobby's Onion Rings. Bobby's Onion Rings. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:58 Like I just said. Yeah. Okay. You pulled that out of your mouth. Yes. Thank you. So, these, because there is a real fad out there for flavouring things with hot sauce. There were sort of gherkins, hot sauce flavoured gherkins.
Starting point is 00:41:16 Oh my God. So let's try them. Oh my God, yeah. I want to try some fiery onions. These are Funyuns. They're guaranteed fresh. That's the least I'd expect from food. These are Funyuns. They're guaranteed fresh. I'd like the least to expect from food. Until May the 5th.
Starting point is 00:41:28 And they are flaming hot. Look at this. Look at this for a weird, a weird colour. What's for Smith? Oh, it's kind of vinegary. Oh, let's have a try. I'm going to try.
Starting point is 00:41:42 Are we all trying these? A Funyun? What's happening? Get a Funyun. Oh, sorry. More Funyuns. a Funyun. Are we all trying these? Is that a Funyun? What's happening? Get a Funyun. Get a... Oh, sorry. Full Funyun. Full Funyun.
Starting point is 00:41:48 You just made them twice as fun. There you go. Grab the bag. Oh, it's very red. Can you see how red that is? That's red. I'm an American. I've never eaten a Funyun in my life, actually.
Starting point is 00:42:01 This is my first Funyun. Well, it's not a pure Funyun. It is a red hot Funyun. Anyone else care to try a red hot Funyun? Yeah, I's not a pure Funyun. It is a red hot Funyun. Anyone else care to try a red hot Funyun? Yeah, I gave a Funyun. I'm finding a trigger on this.
Starting point is 00:42:10 Oh, I like them. They're not bad. Yeah, they're basically onions. Yeah. Sorry, yeah, they were in transit. They've become less fun.
Starting point is 00:42:20 I like these. I actively like these. Good. I like them too. Ash, what do you think? I think it's too much. Too much hot? That's your reply to everything.
Starting point is 00:42:30 It's too much. Okay. So what is it, Brian? Describe the flavor. Yeah, it's spicy, but I like spicy food. I mean, the underlying flavor besides the spiciness is essentially non-existent, but the spiciness is there and quite present. It's quite kicky isn't it?
Starting point is 00:42:46 It's lingering. Yeah. Like surprisingly I want another one. Oh maybe he can have the whole bag. No. No not with a cracker
Starting point is 00:42:52 no I'm not doing this. Well what are your thoughts on them? I like them. I don't know if I can eat a whole bag in one sitting because they're quite hot.
Starting point is 00:42:59 But I would happily rate them I don't know I'm going to say that's a 7 out of 10 for me. Yeah I'd go for that. 7 out of 10 with me. Yeah, I go for it. That's fair.
Starting point is 00:43:05 7 out of 10 with me and Brian, yeah? 7 out of 10. Ash, what's your feeblest opinion? Oh, I did not enjoy it. I'd say a 4 out of 10. Oh! Do you like spicy food? Nope.
Starting point is 00:43:13 Ah, well, there you go. But 4 stars. Ash, we need to make sure these are vegetarian. Oh, I did. You did. Oh, yeah, because he doesn't eat anything with a face or tear ducts, I think is the rule. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:24 Right. Next. What's in your bag of Splendor? In my American bag of cheap eats, let's just go for one of the gross ones. Yeah. I didn't even know this was a thing. I'm going to, I wonder if I know. Okay.
Starting point is 00:43:40 I'm actually legitimately curious here. This is Big John's Red Hot... Oh, God. Pickled sausage. Oh, sure, sure, sure, sure. Those are sold in truck stops nationwide. So, next question, Eli. What are you doing at a truck stop?
Starting point is 00:43:56 That's our next question. That kind of preserved gross meat thing is very popular in the States. Yeah. I've never come across anything so obviously grotesque. And it says pickled sausage
Starting point is 00:44:09 just straight under pickled sausage it says made with chicken and pork artificially coloured. Oh, it's a chicken and pork.
Starting point is 00:44:15 You know what? I was happy to try that until you told me what was in it and now I'm a little bit... You guys serve hot dogs.
Starting point is 00:44:22 I mean, in the supermarket you can buy hot dogs in a jar. Yeah. Yes. And you have a jar. Yeah. Yes. And you have a problem with that. This is pickled, though, Brian.
Starting point is 00:44:29 This is pickled. This is a pickled sausage. That's a fair point. Well, Eli, may I try your pickled sausage? What? There's about 9,000 different products precisely like this thing in the States. Yes. And I've got another one in my bag.
Starting point is 00:44:45 So you can try this. Yes, I want to put your sausage in my mouth and give it a bite and taste it. Et cetera. I'm out on this one. Oh, is it full of juicy stuff? Oh, I can smell the... It's a pickled sausage. Okay, Paul.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Try the pickled sausage. Am I meant to eat the red plastic covering? Eat the whole thing. Looks like a dog's penis. It's got that... Oh! Watch out for the vinegar. How did you not expect that to happen?
Starting point is 00:45:12 It's pickled. I've never handled one before. I'm surprised. Of course it's got juice. I didn't... I didn't... Oh, my God. Eat it for the show.
Starting point is 00:45:20 Just do it. I don't know. Preservatives. Other mysterious animals. Eat my pickled sausage now. Think of how many tests this had to go through. All right, I'm going to do this. Eat the sausage.
Starting point is 00:45:32 I'm building myself up mentally to putting it in my mouth. Are you going to eat it? I'll eat it. I don't care. That was... You can eat more than that. Yeah, Paul, that was... Take a legitimate bite.
Starting point is 00:45:49 Bite the tip off. I can't bite the tip off. Bite the tip off. Please don't make me bite the tip off. Now, I think you guys can agree, as the guest, I have the ultimate authority, right? I'd say so, Brian. Bite the fucking tip off.
Starting point is 00:46:02 Oh, I like fiery Brian. All right. Just... Do it. Don't. All right. Just do it. Don't think about it. Just do it. It's American style. There you go. I don't like it.
Starting point is 00:46:15 I'm just going to go out and say it right now. I don't like it. One, two, three. So. So. I enjoyed that about as much as anything I've ever enjoyed. Oh, no, I don't want any cream crackers. So, Paul, describe. Describe it. You know what?
Starting point is 00:46:39 It's not that it's... It's the texture that sets me off. It just tastes of vine vinegary wet meat you know it's just it's just the skin's really tough it feels like i'm eating through a plastic bag you are yeah kind of and then it doesn't even have the balls to have the color go all the way through to the middle so it just gets paler in the middle and it just looks like unlegitimately apart i just i don't like it i don't. Take it away. What would you give that out of... Anyone else want to try?
Starting point is 00:47:07 Anyone want to try a bite of that? Where's my Guinness? You try that, Virgil. Virgil's going to have a bite. We'll get your feedback. It's not my... Oh, he's got a big bite. Oh!
Starting point is 00:47:18 Frank! He don't like it, but he's doing it. Think of how many truck drivers are eating these every day. You know you have to eat it now. You've got to swallow it. Swallow it.
Starting point is 00:47:27 I had to swallow it. Swallow it. Down in one. Down in one. You do have to swallow it. Eat it. Oh. Yeah, it's well suspect.
Starting point is 00:47:38 So, hooray for the pickled sausage. I'm giving it one out of ten. Zero from Virgil. So, no one else wants to try the sausage? That's a it one out of ten. Zero from Virgil. So no one else wants to try the sausage? That's a shame. Oh dear. Yeah, the pickled squid was bad enough. Did the pickling flavour really come out?
Starting point is 00:47:55 The pickling spices? It really did. Like a hint of cloves or allspice? No, it was mostly just vinegar. It's like white wine vinegary kind of... I can't do it. Non-brewed condiment I think is what it is. What's next? No, it was mostly just vinegar. It's like white wine vinegary kind of... I can't do it. Non-brewed condiment is what it is. What's next? Right, a little break from the disgustingness, yeah? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:12 And they've got all sorts of different chocolate bars out there. They do. And this is called... Is that a Watchamacallit? This is a Watchamacallit. Oh, these are good. I want to try a Watchamacallit. These are great. You can. Alright. Can I have your Watchamacallit? Yes.
Starting point is 00:48:25 What kind of chocolate is it? I'll open it. We'll have a look. All right. We're having a good look. I remember when this came out when I was a kid. How old were you when it was out first? 10-ish.
Starting point is 00:48:36 Oh, okay. Mid-80s. And I remember being super, super into them when they came out. Aren't they nice? Oh, yeah. You said they are. Well, look. 30 years ago, I thought they were amazing. But now, you're on to nice? Oh yeah, you said they are. Well, look, 30 years ago
Starting point is 00:48:45 I thought they were amazing. But now, you're on to finer things, aren't you? It says on the side, made with chocolate. Good. Peanut flavoured crisps.
Starting point is 00:48:54 Okay. Understand that they don't mean crisps in the way that... No, I mean like little bites. Oh, they mean like crisps. Like little biscuits. Like, ooh,
Starting point is 00:49:02 I'll have a little... A crispy peanut. I'll have a crisp. Yes. I'll have a peppermint crisp. Yes. I'll have a peppermint crisp. Yes. I'll have a truffled almond crisp. Something like that, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:11 Yeah. Was that all the characters in your Downton Abbey spook? Yes, that's... I was just wondering... Please give me a job, I can do posh. Can I have a fucking poplar? Sorry. All right, I'm going to open it now.
Starting point is 00:49:22 Ooh. Ooh, is it a bit melty? It's a bit melty. This is a Hershey's thing, is this correct? Oh, the Dread Hershey. Is that right? New Bandar British Chocolate in America. Right.
Starting point is 00:49:33 I don't agree with that. It's got a very lovely, lovely chocolatey, peanutty smell. I predict that you will like this. I'm glad. Oh, right. I'm going to have a little nibble off the corner, all right?
Starting point is 00:49:46 It looks like a nice squashed Snickers bar. Gone, I don't blame him. I wouldn't, I'm hoping this cleanses my palate.
Starting point is 00:49:55 What a loser. Before the show, he introduced himself to me. His name is Virgil, is that right? I thought he said, hi, I'm Billy Joel. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:50:04 See? Yeah, I like it. see yeah I like right I like what do you like describe it's my chocolate slice which is rare
Starting point is 00:50:10 for American candy no offence no I agree with that I completely agree American candy is a little bit waxy but this one's nice it's delicate
Starting point is 00:50:17 it's got a nice crunchy flaky kind of peanutty biscuity flavoured bottom which I wholeheartedly adore and I want to have more it's a nice thing kind of peanutty, biscuity-flavoured bottom, which I wholeheartedly adore. And I want to have more.
Starting point is 00:50:28 It's a nice thing. Would you like a bite? Would anyone else? Well, we're going to check the ingredients. I'll have a check the ingredients. I'll have a bite in the meantime. Wait, it's got fructose, corn syrup, rice, vegetable oil, vegetable oil, more vegetable oil.
Starting point is 00:50:44 You're not going to get through that whole label. Peanut, palm, shea, sunflower, and sunflower oil. Is there milk? Yes, there's coconut milk and dairy milk. Compelling. But there's nothing in there that says, like, animal teeth or... All right, good. I rate that.
Starting point is 00:50:58 Can I rate that right now? Eight. Nice eight. Safe, dependable eight. Oh, he's snapping it because you just don't know what you've got. And he takes a bite. Ash takes a bite. What do you think? Salty. Salty? Yeah, it's got a bit of salt to it.
Starting point is 00:51:13 And you good self, Brian? I think that's quite nice. I think that's quite nice. I really haven't had one of these in 30 years. And a nice stroll down memory lane. Good, I'm going to give that eight. Anyone else want a bite of whatchamacallit? There's always enough. Here, I'll pass it over to eight. Anyone else want a bite of whatchamacallit? There's always enough.
Starting point is 00:51:26 Yeah, I'll pass it over to you. Just hand it to them. They can fight over it. They seem like pleasant ladies. So next time you denigrate American chocolate. Oh, I never denigrate it. I just think the chocolate bars
Starting point is 00:51:36 themselves tend to be not my cup of tea. Whereas I like some of the, I like Jolly Ranchers. And I like... That's not chocolate. No. That was where I was
Starting point is 00:51:44 spinning off this conversation into the I'm more of a gummies kind's not chocolate. No, that was where I was spinning off this conversation into the I'm more of a gummies kind of guy. Yes, Ash? Can I just tell you the ingredients for the sausage I've just looked at? Mechanically separated chicken. Yeah, that actually I've seen before. Pork hearts and salt. Vinegar is not on there.
Starting point is 00:52:05 Pork, I feel really worse from hearing the pork up. Right, Eli. Could you just wait one moment? I'm going to just check that Virgil's not vomiting. So finally, what are we going to end this bloody cheap eats section with? I dread to think. Well, Paul, I know you've got a great gag reflex. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:22 It's the best. Can I feed him something? I would really like to feed him something. Wow, Brian. Yeah. Oh, that's a great idea. I've been in that situation before. I know how this works out. Unfortunately, I'd like to do that, but he knows
Starting point is 00:52:37 what it is. Oh, do I? Yeah. Oh, alright, well. It's pickled eggs. Yeah. Big John's pickled eggs. America's national pasta. What is it with Big John and his pickled things? Well, you're lucky I didn't get the pork knuckle. God almighty. What the fuck is a pork knuckle? Did you find that in Target, the pickled eggs?
Starting point is 00:52:55 Because I'd be surprised if Target said that. Walmart. That makes more sense. Walmart. Do you know the Target-Walmart difference? No. So Target basically positions itself kind of above Walmart in the trendiness. It's not a hip place, but it's slightly more posh than Walmart.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Walmart is like bottom of the barrel. Oh, I was going to say, is it like Asda? But Asda is owned by Walmart, isn't it? Yeah, I think that's right. So that would make Target Tesco? No. I'd say above Tesco? No. I'd say above Tesco.
Starting point is 00:53:27 Oh, above Sainsbury's. More like Sainsbury's. Oh, okay. I didn't know there was a Tesco. But they're not really supermarkets. They're not really supermarkets in the way that you... No, they're not. Because food is only one section of these huge warehouses. Although I know people, my mother-in-law does most of her grocery shopping at a Target.
Starting point is 00:53:43 Yeah. For example. Oh, I'm learning stuff. Which is sad, because I lived in America for a few years. I think I'd know more. But that was just all me on Rodeo Drive. Okay, so Ash, can you describe the pickled eggs to our listeners? Have you ever taken a football to the testes,
Starting point is 00:54:01 and it both looks and feels like that. Oh my God, it does. You know, like for a couple of days afterwards where they're a little bit swollen, they've gone luminous red. I'll tell you what that looks like. It looks like someone
Starting point is 00:54:15 who's warmed up for puppetry of the penis after their first show and they haven't quite loosened up the muscles yet. What kind of egg is that? Because that's not the size of an egg.
Starting point is 00:54:23 No, it's smaller. But maybe when you pickle it, it loses some of its volume. Maybe they're not chicken's eggs. Can we get him to just drink the fluid from the package? I'd rather drink the fluid than... He said, drink the fluid. Right, come on, let's do this, because... Mind out for the egg juice.
Starting point is 00:54:40 I'm only ever so slightly hungry. Oh, no, I got it on me! You got juice on him! There's egg juice on me! You can't get juice on hungry. Oh, no, I got it on me. You got juice on him. You got egg juice on me. You can't get juice on Ash. Oh, what? Why are they that colour? That's my question.
Starting point is 00:54:50 The blood. They're not red hot, right? The chick blood. There's been a motif. The sausage and the onions have all been the exact same red fire engine colour. Yeah, it's America, bro. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:02 Oh. Eat it. I don't know whether to eat this or study it for a while. I think if you bite into it and it's not red all the way through, I think you're going to die. You'll be able to study it more effectively if you take a cross-section. Oh, okay. I'm going to... How do I approach it?
Starting point is 00:55:19 The tip or the side? I just feel so sorry. Oh, you definitely want to go down the axis. I feel so sorry for the... Oh, you definitely want to go down the axis. I feel so sorry for the chicken that has the... Hey, ladies, I want to make sure
Starting point is 00:55:29 you go down the axis. This one. Right. Here we go. Three, two, one. What a noise. Ooh. Oh, look at it.
Starting point is 00:55:38 It actually looks like an egg. Yeah, show it to everyone. It's got a bit of yolk in there. He's chewing. Oh, he's chewing. He's chewing. He's chewing.
Starting point is 00:55:46 He's chewing. Tastes like a dog. Are the vinegar notes really coming out? Yeah. It's... I don't want to do this section anymore. I think now, as the guest, you have to eat the whole thing. No. No, guest, no rule, mate.
Starting point is 00:56:04 I'll taste it. I mean, No rule make. I'll taste it. I brought it. I'll taste it. There's a fight between the egg taste which I don't mind and the pickled taste which I don't mind. When the two come in my mouth Boom. No. When the two mix in my mouth
Starting point is 00:56:20 Thank you. When they both enter my mouth and mix up. Shut up! I'm trying to convalesce. Nice. Thank you. When I put the egg in my mouth and mix up. Shut up! I'm trying to compliment. Nice. Thank you. When I put the egg in my mouth and chew it. Nice. It's not nice. The two opposite flavours fight for supremacy. That is a truly, truly
Starting point is 00:56:38 horrendous. Isn't it? I mean I don't mind a boiled egg. What kind of wine would you pair that with? Red, dude. Look at the colour. Yeah, red. I don't mind a cold boiled egg. What kind of wine would you pair that with? Red, dude. Look at the colour. Yeah, red. I would go for a Chablette
Starting point is 00:56:50 or maybe a nice rosé pinot. A pinot grigiot. Yeah, a pinot grigiot. So that's that. Oh, that's truly disgusting. My fingers, my fingers smell bad. Let's just get that out of the way. And you've been high-fiving.
Starting point is 00:57:03 Sniff my fingers, Matt. Oh! Now, does the audience want to see outside? Who would like to sniff my thumb? Smell bad. Let's just get that out of the way. And you've been high-fiving. Sniff my fingers, Matt. Now, does the audience want to see outside the pickle game? Who would like to sniff my food? That's just vinegar. Yeah, it is just vinegar. But all the foods have dyed my fingertips red. Look at that. That's all due to the egg.
Starting point is 00:57:17 That's what you're claiming. Oh, thank God for good old British-Irish drink. Now, Paul, is it time to wrap the show up? Yes. I think there's another egg. No, there's is it time to wrap the show up? Yes. I think there's another egg. No, there's no more eggs.
Starting point is 00:57:28 No more eggs. Yay. Yay. Oh. America lives on these, too. Oh, it's in my teeth.
Starting point is 00:57:39 I keep biting new surprise food in my mouth. Welcome to America. I keep biting new surprise food in my mouth. Welcome to America. Surprise food in my mouth.
