Eli Silver
Welcome to Cheap Show
They're not going on nuzzle
Yes, welcome to Cheap Show, the economy comedy podcast
where we go through the bargain bins, the charity shops, the thrift stores, the boot sales of Great Britain and beyond
And you'll never get a bit of better on your knife
Fuck it, you
Don't stop it
You know what, I wish I'd never mentioned that monkey now
Well, you shouldn't have picked the monkey up from out of the sauce trough.
The reimagined sauce trough.
The rebooted sauce trough.
Yes.
It's sauce trough 2.0.
Yeah.
It's got chilli sauce in it.
Yeah, it's got all kinds.
It's got a Kit Kat on it as well still.
Yeah.
It's got some Chew-Its.
It's got Chew-Its.
It's got snaps.
And you know what?
If you literally took that desk as it stands and put it in the Tate,
I'd put money on you winning the Turner Prize.
For what?
For that.
What would I call it?
My bumhole.
What would Tracy Emin call it?
She'd call it desk, which I've shat on or something.
What would you call it then?
If this was art, your mound, what would you call it?
What was it expressing?
Sadness of the splodges.
Hello and welcome to Art.
On Art Podcast today, we're speaking to revolutionary artist Eli Silverman.
Now, Eli, I've been following your work for some time now.
Sorry, can I interrupt before we start?
Say hello to the monkey.
Monkey angry.
Hello.
Say hello to monkey.. Monkey angry. Hello.
Say hello to monkey.
Hello monkey.
I will be speaking
through monkeys.
Okay, well,
can you maybe tell us
about how you first
started working
in modern art?
What's your inspiration?
Monkey says
I shouldn't talk about that.
So what?
The monkey knows
what you're thinking
and then it tells you
what to say back to me.
That makes no fucking sense.
You're meant to like
just say nothing. Monkey doesn't like your tone. Well, that's a good say back to me. That makes no fucking sense. You're meant to like just say nothing.
Monkey doesn't like your tone.
Well, that's a good...
I think that's the monkey's
fucking opinion.
Monkey says this interview
is over.
I hate you.
I hate you.
It's meant to be yes and
with bloody improv.
Unless you want some...
What?
Ooh.
And.
Yes.
And.
Right.
Oh, what have we got
coming up with the...
Fucking taking the monkey
You're so childish
Coming up on the show today
What is it Mr Monkey
He doesn't speak to you
Oh really Mr Monkey
I'm looking forward to that bit of the show
No
Really
What else is coming up
You have to translate what the monkey's saying.
If you can't understand the monkey, then you can't listen to Cheap Show.
So we've got...
Coming up.
Yeah, you said that.
And?
Yeah, and we've got that.
And then finally what we're ending with.
I can't believe it, Mr. Monkey.
You've just nicked my gag.
You've nicked the monkey from me and you're doing my... that joke.
Reworked it and made it better.
Reworked nothing. It's better. Reworked nothing.
It's a monkey kind of speak through me.
Oh, it's telling me what to think now.
No, you're doing an impression.
You're literally doing an impression of me.
Yeah.
This is content for you.
Yeah.
Copy Eli.
It's really dying out there.
It's got a really bad cough.
I don't know what to say.
I doubt you'll pick it up too much on the podcast,
but it literally sounds like Rogan is reenacting the scene from Poltergeist 2
with the whiskey maggot scene.
Where the maggot comes out.
Wow.
That's good.
Put the monkey away.
We'll have a monkey truce.
Bye-bye, monkey.
Bye-bye.
That's what's coming up on the show today, so let's get started.
Cast your mind back to October 2018.
We did a show.
A live show.
And we were given many lovely things by our audience while we were there.
Remember?
Yes.
We got lovely sweets and noodles.
We had a bespoke price of shite.
Yes, we had all kinds of fun things given to us,
but there's a few things... A bag of rubbers.
A bag of rubbers.
If you know what I mean.
No.
A prawn sandwich.
If you know what I mean.
See, you're copying my stuff now.
Well, maybe if...
I do my stuff, Paul, and you just do shit.
Like, where's the song?
We haven't had a song from you yet.
I'll cut you off.
So you don't want an original song, you just want a cover.
You don't do original songs.
Who sang that?
Iron Butterfly.
Iron Butterfly.
Iron Butterfly.
That's from The Simpsons, isn't it?
That's what they call it.
Really?
When Bart makes the church organist play
In the Garden of Eden,
he says it's In the Garden of Eden
by Iron Butterfly.
That's back when The Simpsons was good.
Hot take! Hot take! But The Simpsons was good. Hot take.
Hot take.
But The Simpsons still exists.
Yeah, still going strong.
But just has no sort of influence on anything.
I mean, look, I think it exists simply to be known
as the longest running animated sitcom of all time.
You know what I mean?
I think that's the only reason it's still going right now.
To be fair, Fox still probably makes a shit ton of money.
And soon, Disney will be making that money
because Fox is buying Disney.
Isn't it vice versa?
Oh yeah, sorry, Disney.
I'm sure when Disney said, what have Fox got?
They went, oh, all those Marvel characters we don't have.
Oh, and Disney. Oh, and Avatar.
They probably went, yeah, we'll have that.
Simpsons and Avatar.
They're going to make a bit of money.
And will they still be racist?
Do their racist news programs?
Disney.
Fox.
No, it's not.
I don't believe Fox News is part of the deal.
I don't believe it.
I think, I don't know.
I don't want to talk about that.
I don't know what you want to talk about.
I want to talk about what I was given at the live show.
Oh, of course.
So, unfortunately, like all things, because a name wasn't put on it,
was this the same guy who gave us what it says on it
he's put a sticker on
and it says froth
it says froth
I was given it
with an umlaut
an umlaut
do you know what that does
to the letter O
in pronunciation terms
it makes O
R
into U
and what about U
it makes it an O
froth
froth
froth
so yeah
I was given a little box
it came in a little package
it's a little white box.
My Frith ship.
With the words froth written on it in black.
Frith.
Pronounce it right.
Come on.
No.
Oh, see, I'm gone.
Hello.
Hello.
Is it a character?
No.
Maybe I can coax it out.
Come on.
Come on.
There's no character here.
Yeah, come on.
Frith.
There we go.
He's here.
Come on.
You just need to...
Come on, mate. Come on, mate. Come on now. You want to... Come on. Come say go. He's here. Come on. Come on, mate.
Come on, mate.
Come on now.
You want to come on.
Come say hello to all your friends.
I'm a meddler.
I'm into fruit.
My band is called Fruit.
Who is it, ladies and gentlemen?
It's something Cunnyhole.
Now I've forgotten his name.
It's not Johnny Cunnyhole.
Who is it?
He'll be coming back.
Yeah.
At some point.
So who's that?
He's a new guy.
Who sounds exactly the same?
No, he doesn't sound like Johnny Cunninghull.
No, he does.
I beg to differ, but he does.
Okay, it's Johnny Cunninghull.
Oh, Johnny Cunninghull.
Oh.
Fruit.
I've got a new fruit-flavoured drink.
It's very syrupy.
It's got fruit and fruit juice.
Right, so let's just crack on with the show.
So, got a little box.
Can't remember who it was, but if it is you, get in touch and say hello and we'll give you credit for it.
Are you opening it up now?
I'm opening it up now.
Can I see it?
Yeah.
Oh, look in the box.
So there's a little couple of things in it.
Hey, he's got his...
Paul, he has...
We're talking to the mic.
This is something...
This is like an actual box, I think.
I don't know if he's made this himself.
He's printed out a little thing.
But I think what he's done is he's tried to affect, like, an Ikea flat pack situation.
Yes.
So you open it up and look, there's an Allen key.
And there's a little, I could have done with that on a bike ride the other day.
Well, it might not have fit.
You don't know.
You just don't know.
No, that's a standard Allen.
That's for good old cupboards and drawers, that, isn't it?
No, that's for, like, bike seats.
Is it?
Yeah.
I mean, you use them for putting flat pack shit together, though.
You do.
Who was Alan?
Who was Alan?
Call it Alan Key.
Well, he wasn't called...
He was actually called John Alan.
Really?
Is this a fact now, or are you just making it up?
It's a fact.
All right.
He's called John Alan.
He had seven daughters, and he split the Alan Key...
What's this grumbly noise?
He had seven tortoises.
Tortoises?
Are you slowly becoming fucking Schmeagle?
They're preciouses.
He had sevens as tortoises.
One was called Anne.
Yeah.
One was called Anne 2.
I'm just going to see this through.
I'm just going to kick back, ladies and gentlemen,
and see where Eli goes with this.
Anne 3.
Yeah.
Jenny.
Yeah. Jenny 1. Right. So back, ladies and gentlemen, and see where Eli goes with this. Then there was Anne 3, Jenny, Jenny 1.
Right.
So there's Jenny and then Jenny 1, not Jenny 2.
No. Right. Anne.
Anne 2. Anne 2.
Or Anne. Anne 2.
It's a woman. She wouldn't be called Anne.
No, but I don't... Oh, here, look. Here. It's my wife. Anne. No, I was saying, were you saying
Anne? No, that's her name, Anne. Were you saying Anne?
Hello. Or Anne? Ding dong.
You fat-mouthed prick. Why can't
you fucking just... Fat
mouthed prick. Yeah.
And his other two daughters were just called
the other two. Right, and so, right, great.
So that's the back up. And he lived in a kingdom.
Yeah. And he had a big castle shaped like
a key. Alan Key.
Ladies
and gentlemen, Ladies and gentlemen.
I believe we're all disappointed with the way that turned out.
I don't know.
I don't know the answer to your question.
I reckon it was someone called Alan though, wasn't it?
I don't know.
I mean, I'm not in the mood to check the internet today.
So if you want to know or you do know, tell us on Reddit or Twitter.
And did you see I was right about sod?
No.
Sod being a shortening of Sodomite.
Well, I presume that was right.
But what do you mean, did you hear I was right?
Someone put it on Twitter and said Eli was right.
Eli is right.
Eli is sexist and a hate monger.
No.
That makes a lot of sense.
He's a bit of a hate monger.
I don't think we should record a show today.
No, I think we should now.
We're doing it. Okay now We're doing it Okay
We're doing it
So Fruth
So he's given us a little piece of paper on the top
Which looks like the flat pack directions
Yes
Again I don't know
It looks like he's printed it out
Well this also could be
You know like Stuart reviews on his channel
A Luke Crate style thing
Yeah that's what it looks like to me
But it happens to be called Fruth
So there are four things in here.
There's a little man, and he's explaining.
What are the four things we're going to look for here?
I'll just tell you in advance, shall we?
That's what I'm saying.
Read out the list of things to me.
Don't look at me like that.
I'm trying to give a bit more fucking explanation to this.
There's a piece of paper in a box, everyone.
And it's been printed, and it's like an IKEA instructions manual.
The first thing in the box is called
Turkish Piba.
Turkish pepper. It's Finnish.
It's a spicy licorice
boiled sweet.
The next one is
Saltakatten.
Salty cat. It's Finnish
and it's salted licorice.
Is there anything that isn't licorice in this?
No, that was it.
That's all the licorice stuff out the way.
Really?
Next one is called keks, a biscuit.
It's Swedish, and it's a chocolate wafer.
Okay.
And finally, plop.
Plop, Swedish chocolate with toffee filling.
Special toffee filling.
I've had special toffee lately.
Really?
Mate.
I had three distinct types of shit in one when I was out in the
States, Paul. What, at the same time?
Yeah. Great. So solid,
liquid and gas. No,
it went solid,
then in between, slurry, and then
finishing with liquid.
All in one pan.
Can you imagine that in the middle of the
night? I was simultaneously
disturbed and impressed with myself.
It was really hard.
What's going on with this podcast?
What's happened to this podcast?
What's happened? It's always been about shit.
Everything's about
shit. We're never going to win any awards.
What else is there? We're never going to get mainstream
success, are we? We're never going to get Richard
Herring on this podcast. He wouldn't want to come on.
He might.
He doesn't talk about shit.
He might.
He doesn't talk about spoffing quietly on people's heads when they're asleep.
It's funny that, isn't it?
Richard Herring.
Talking of characters, Paul.
Right.
Do you know Leaky Kenya?
Yeah.
And Leaky Norman?
Yeah.
Squishy Jim.
They've got...
And Squishy Jim, but Squishy Jim's someone else.
It's a bit like Santa.
He needs help.
He can't get around the world and give all the children his presents all in one night.
So he has elves to help him.
Well, Leaky Ken has a helper.
Pre-cum John.
Pre-cum...
Oh, fuck it, Al!
Pre-cum John. That's right. And what does pre-cum John. Precum John. Oh, fuck it, Al. Precum John.
That's right.
And what does Precum John sound like?
I just help out Leaky.
So it sounds like Leaky Jim then.
Like Leaky Ken is my friend.
And I help him on Precum John.
I'm very professional.
What do you do?
Precum John.
I deposit pearly little globules of translucent Precum
onto people's heads and noses
whilst they're asleep, especially yours.
I've done a lot of work on you.
We're never going to get Mark Dolan on this podcast, are we?
In the name of Ken, Ken goes,
John, that's my name.
Michael McIntyre won't come on the show.
He goes, come round here.
I've got a Gannon.
I've got a Gannon.
Can't even get a Russell Howard.
When he says Gannon, I know.
I fill my box
With beads of pre-cum
I take a
Jingle jingle jangle
Shingle shingle shangle
Quiggily whiff
I'm over there
Stuart Lee will hate this
Stuart Lee will listen to this
And hate this podcast
I'm pre-cum John
I sprinkle income
All over your mouth
All those comedy judges
Best podcast of the year
Don't like
They'll listen to this
And they are fucking nothing
Fucking nothing I'm off then I'm pre-cum John Right good Right we've got the best podcast of the year, don't listen to this. They are fucking nothing. Fucking nothing.
Well, I'm off then.
I'm pre-cum junk.
Right, good.
Right, we've got the next bit of the show.
Let's eat stuff.
Right, we're going to start with Turkish pepper.
Pepper.
Turkish pepper.
Which is a spicy licorice boiled sweet from Finland.
Let's see.
I'll let you feast upon.
Now, it's got a kind of...
Warning.
Warning.
Do not pass.
Warning. Do not pass! Warning!
Do not come here!
Hazard!
Hazard!
Style package, isn't it?
Hazard!
Do not pass!
It does have a...
There's Turkish pepper!
It's going to burn your arse!
Well, it does say spicy.
Burn your eyes out!
You'll be burning all over you!
Especially in your never-origins.
Right.
You're on fire today, Silverman.
I'll tell you what's on fire.
Yeah?
Me knob! Right, good. I'm opening it. Right. It's on fire today, Silverman. I'll tell you what's on fire. Yeah? My knob!
Right, good.
I'm opening it.
Right.
It's made by phaser.
But I won't be phased.
Fucking hell!
Right, come on.
Right.
Now, what are your feelings about licorice as a category of foodstuff?
I enjoy licorice, but there are limits.
Right.
I like rope licorice as a category of food stuff? I enjoy licorice, but there are limits. Right. I like rope licorice.
Yeah.
I don't like red licorice
because it's not licorice
really, is it?
No, I like red licorice
because I like red licorice
for exactly the same reason.
No, really.
It's not licorice.
It's more of a gummy though,
isn't it?
It's a strawberry gummy,
isn't it?
It's a fucking strawberry gummy.
Like a Twizzler, isn't it?
It's not got licorice in it,
does it?
What else do I like?
I like all sorts,
depending on my mood.
Licorice all sorts,
they're quite nice.
I hate those. But ultimately, I don't I like all sorts, depending on my mood. Licorice all sorts, they're quite nice. I hate those.
But ultimately, I don't know.
Aniseed I can deal with.
Yeah, I like aniseed balls.
But licorice is just a step too far.
It's got a very deep licorice flavour.
You like that smell?
I do.
Yeah, I don't like that smell.
So it's a boiled sweet and it's going in me gob.
I'm going to put one in as well.
Oh, it's very licorice-y.
And Eli is not happy with the outcome.
Dip it in your fizzy toilet.
I'm not going to dip it in any fizzy toilet.
Oh, maybe don't dip it in the fizzy toilet because it looks like a fizzy toilet then.
Is it all clotted?
It's all got clammy in there.
Someone suggested what a fizzy toilet would be.
And? It's when a lady puts sherbet on Someone suggested what a fizzy toilet would be. And?
It's when a lady puts sherbet on her vagina and pisses on your chest.
Oh, that Matt who wrote that?
No, he's fucking mental.
That's quite nice.
It's all right.
I'm going to bite into it, see if there's something on the centre.
Oh, yeah.
What the fuck's that?
Oh, what the fuck the hell is that?
Bit in there.
I'm just going to eat it.
You're just going to eat it?
Because if I go in, I got...
I got to vomit, vomit.
Just get it down you.
Get it down you.
What was that? Now, let's describe to the down, yeah. Get it down, yeah. What was that?
Now, let's describe to the listeners what happened when we both bit into it.
It's full of salty, nasty guck.
Salty, fizzy, fiery fizz.
It's like a peppery.
It was very strange.
Very strong.
It was very intense for a hot minute, and then it just literally disappeared.
Left you with a little eat-a-crush again.
But it was a shock
yeah very nasty
did not like that at all
I don't like that type of
it's a very deep
deep licorice flavour
that's an intense
licorice flavour
oh I'm chewing it now
and it
it's very strong
I mean
I suppose if you like that
but it's too much licorice for me
I mean I don't like any
but that's way too much
I do not like that
so do you want to break
let's break up the licorice, man, with some chocolate.
Would you like plop or kegs?
I'd like to plop in my kegs.
What do you want?
I'd like a kegs, please.
Kegs.
All right, here you go.
Have a look at kegs.
Kegs is one each.
All right.
But actually, just break it in half.
We'll have that.
You want to save the other kegs, yeah?
Yeah.
This is...
Are you okay?
I mean, yeah,
but I'm just taking my time with it.
Kegs.
They're made by
Cloetta.
Is it made by
a pigeon's
combined sexual
and fecal organs?
Coacle Channel.
Yeah.
It looks like
a pretty standard
milk chocolate
snack wafer biscuit thing.
Fair enough.
That's all.
Fair enough.
It's got a...
That's what it smells like.
That's what it looks like.
It's segmented so you can easily snap a bit off.
Snap a bit off.
In a similar way to a Kit Kat maybe.
Or a plop.
There you go.
Snaps quite nicely.
Snaps cleanly off.
This is a gob.
In every way unremarkable.
Yeah, but... Not unpleasant. Not unpleasant. this is a gob in every way unremarkable yeah but not unpleasant
not unpleasant
if you're imagining
if you're guessing
what this tastes like
in your brain
you're probably right
wafer
bit of chocolate
tastes fine
I've got a little bit
of licorice in my mouth
so it's still
maybe it's being tainted
by that
washed it away for me
because I gave the licorice
an old spitty
spitty outy
okay so
first item
out of five
I'm giving it two.
I like licorice
but I didn't approve
of the centre.
I'll give it one.
I just thought
they're just horror balls.
Mm-hmm.
Horror balls.
Hey, that would be
a good 80s kids
TV cartoon
toy crossover.
Horror balls.
Horror balls.
Do you like
scaring your sister?
Wait till she comes in your room and sees your horror balls.
Mad balls, you mean.
Is that what they were?
Mad balls?
They were mad balls, yeah.
I think they should have done an extreme.
Mad balls extreme.
Horror balls.
Tell you what I saw, which was horror balls.
I was watching that last podcast on the left, live show.
Yeah.
At the end of every live show, they do a video thing where they go,
one for us, one for you. So a really horrible video, followed by a really lovely one, at the end of every live show, they do a video thing where they go, one for us, one for you.
So like a really horrible video,
followed by a really lovely one,
take the taste away.
So it's like something horrible,
and then a puppy dancing.
The very last image they showed,
I will never unsee.
It was a penis and balls,
riddled,
riddled with puss and maggots,
swarming over it.
His penis looked like a magic eye poster
full of maggots.
Was he dead?
No.
What was wrong with him?
I don't know.
He might have been very poor, homeless.
Maybe it was just a thing.
Who knows?
Either way...
Were they coming actually out of the flesh?
In and out of the flesh,
burrowing in, coming out, hanging out.
You know you can see a beard of bees on her face.
It was like a beard of maggots.
Imagine a beard of maggots on someone's balls and dick.
I clearly don't want it.
I don't want to ever see that.
Anyway, they're horribles.
They are horribles.
Next one, we're going back to salty licorice.
And this is just salty cat, which is just licorice.
Now, these are smaller, are they?
Oh, much smaller.
I think I'll like these.
Are they more gummy-like?
They're a bit more gummy.
They are gummies, aren't they, essentially?
What are they shaped like?
They're shaped like little bombs.
They're all little fish.
Cats.
Because there's a cat on there.
Yeah, but where's the...
It's a little putty cat.
Oh, it is a little putty cat.
Meow, meow.
Meow, meow.
Meow.
Oh, my asshole tastes of licorice.
When I lick it, which I do.
I lick my own asshole.
You need to work on your characters
at the moment
what do you mean I need to
you haven't had
how many characters
have you had this show
I'm not doing any
I'm boiling them down
exactly
because you've got none
I've got loads
but people are tiring
of such characters
anyway here's the next
fucking one
I wasn't doing a character
I was just going
meow me lick me asshole
nice
nice simple salty licorice
now I don't like
lick salty licorice too much
but that's nice
you like that?
Yeah
Because the texture helps it
The broad sweet element
Of the first one
I just don't like
The taste of licorice
I'd give that
A three
I've spat it out
Once again
You've spat it out
It's nasty
I'm giving that a three
I'll give it half a point
Oh
And worse than the broad sweets
You gave them one
I'll give them
Half and this one.
All right.
Well, finally, Eli, I'd like to plop in your mouth.
I want to unwrap my gift to you, have you open your mouth,
and put a big plop in your gob.
Is that all right?
Well, no.
Eat my plop.
No.
Eat my plop.
Plop.
Plop.
This is also made by two peas.
Oh, it's by Coaca.
Yeah, it's made by
a chicken's
combined
bum
and vagina
yay
don't you wish you had one
they have penises though
but no
what
no wee comes out of their penis
does it
I don't know
no that's what it is
alright
they
birds neither shit nor piss
now this is a
a stronger huff
yeah this is a
it's another little segmented bar, however.
Toffee with, chocolate with toffee filling.
And I can see the toffee has formed a sort of
gooey sheet
as I snapped
a segment off the top of this plop.
And I'm going to hand it to you, Paul.
I'm going to snap off some plop now.
Snap off a segment of plop there.
And here we go.
It's not very toffee-like flavour, is it?
I don't like it.
It's a marzipan almost flavour to the toffee, isn't it?
Oh, he's put it in the spit bowl.
Yeah, don't like that.
Why? Because of the marzipan-ness.
It's a bit flowery.
It's a bit like, yeah, very marzipany.
I quite like it.
That's not what I was expecting.
It doesn't have a sort of burnt caramel flavour
that toffee usually has. I wouldn't even call that toffee
really. I wouldn't call it toffee. It's more like a kind of
caramel? It's like a watery
marzipan.
Do you know what I mean? Yeah.
Two. Very almondy. It wasn't unpleasant
but I couldn't eat any more of that. I'll give it two.
Funnily enough,
two and a half. Plop was a number two.
Hey!
So there you go. That was the froth box
Thank you very much
For sending that in
Hang on
This just in
Alright
This just in
Hold the press
Wait
Come back down the tunnel
Mr Gannon
Mr Silverman
Yeah
We've got one more thing for you
Alright
What is it?
This just in
It came from the President!
The President?
That's right!
That's exciting!
Here you go, here you go Mr. Silverman.
Now Paul, I've just been-
Goodbye Mr. President!
No, he was there, he was just the messenger.
The President of Cheap Show, he can't reveal who that is.
Paul, I showed you these before the show.
Who is the President?
The mystery continues.
Now Paul
A couple of episodes ago
I tasted
Because I'm brave
And I'm committed
I'm committed to making
I've just drawn
Stop the press
I've just drawn a cock and ball
Oh mate
I wouldn't have done that
Because that has all the notes
For the show on
So I know what happens next
You dickhead
Oh no
Oh no
You stupid
Fucking hairy wank
Right You're going to eat A salt and pepper cricket Right That's what You stupid fucking hairy wanker.
Right.
You're going to eat a salt and pepper cricket.
Right.
That's the nub.
That's the rub of it.
You've refused to eat a salted cricket last...
You didn't even rip up the cock and balls.
I don't want to rip up the cock and balls.
I like the cock and balls.
I'm going to put that on my pin board and think,
every day I must strive to be like the cock and balls.
Every day. Now. Right, like the cock and balls. Every day.
Now.
Right, go on.
These are crickets.
Yeah.
Grasshoppers, whatever you want to call them.
But these are salt and vinegar flavour.
Right.
This could be a whole new world of insect taste enjoyment.
A whole new world.
A new exciting point of view.
This isn't exactly froth.
This is like a savoury.
We've had our sweeties.
Now let's have our savoury crickets, salt and vinegar flavour.
And they are made by Jimmy's.
Get it?
No.
Jiminy Cricket.
Oh, Jiminy Cricket.
Well, then it should say Jiminy's.
It does.
Oh, well, then you said it wrong.
I said it wrong.
Oh, well, there you go, ladies and gentlemen.
Oh, you're so happy.
Look.
Get the huff on these crickets, salt and vinegar.
It's going to just smell crispy and salt. Well, just tell me, because I gentlemen. Oh, you're so happy. Look. Get the huff on these crickets. Salt and vinegar. It's going to just smell crispy and salty.
Well, just tell me, because I've got a bit of a blocked nose.
It smells like cockles.
Mate, I'm not eating that.
You have to eat it.
No, I don't have to.
There's no rule.
There is not.
You know what?
What?
I'm going to call the president of Cheap Show.
You are?
Yeah.
I've got his number.
I just don't know who it is. Why have you got his number, then? You know what? What? I'm going to call the President of Cheapshow. You are? Yeah.
I've got his number, I just don't know who it is.
Beep boop boop dee da boop do da beep boop.
Why have you got his number then?
For emergencies like this.
Hello, yeah, it's Paul Gannon from Cheapshow.
Can I speak to the President please?
I'll just put it through Mr Gannon.
Thank you.
Hello?
Hello Mr President.
Who's this?
I haven't got much time.
No, it's interesting actually Mr President.
You're meant to be a voice.
You've got ten seconds.
I'm about to spoff on my secretary's head.
She's restrained. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr No, it's interesting actually, Mr President. You've got ten seconds. I'm about to spoff on my secretary's head.
She's restrained.
Yeah, go on.
I figured out who the president is.
Who?
I'm not interested.
Right.
So, now he said I don't have to eat them.
He didn't say shit.
I overheard.
He just seemed to be spoffing someone.
Because the point of that little scene was he's a voiceless character that I'm meant to talk to in private to get myself out of eating them.
You adding your Richard Brandoff character to it.
That's who he is.
We all know that's who the president is.
He's the top character.
He's not the top character.
He's the boss character.
He's the end of level boss.
No, there's someone behind him.
Who?
A mystery person.
He's just the face of the president of Cheap Show.
You must try one of my salt and pepper Jiminy Crickets
No
Because I'll barf
You will not barf
Because my brain will not get past the idea that I'm eating bugs
Therefore I'll put it in my mouth and probably gag
And it'll go gooey in my mouth
For the second time in three episodes
I will be the hero that everyone deserves
And save this show from ignominity
I'm going to stab you with this pencil.
Do not stab me.
In the fucking temple.
Paul.
I'm going to put it right in and make a kebab out of your eyes.
That's what I'm going to do.
I am tasting right now for the listeners.
How much were they out of interest?
They were a gift.
I do not know how much they were.
All right.
Well, then, because I'm beginning to wonder about the cheap show policy of, you know,
spending not too much money on stuff. Well, I spent zero!
Is that cheap enough for you? I mean, yeah.
You traitor! You absolute
traitor! Just fucking come on. It's already 25
minutes.
Yeah? How's that
working for you? Not very well. Yeah, no?
Is it horrible? Is the texture
nasty? Does the flavour not work with the
texture? Have you just put a dead
bug in your mouth because you wanted me to have one, but I've
stood my ground?
What?
Stood your ground?
We meant to do this for the show, Paul.
No.
Eat one.
No.
At no point did Cheap Show ever become a let's eat wacky shit show.
It did in the early days.
We were desperate.
No, we don't.
I don't have to.
Well, do you want the report on the Jiminy Cricket salt and vinegar flavour?
Yeah.
They weren't very nice.
Welcome to Cheap Show.
That's the end of that segment.
We'll move on.
I had two.
Good.
Bye.
That was cheap.
I'm not saying goodbye for this section.
I am.
I like to say goodbye to all my sections.
Hello.
See you in literally no time at all after a jingle jangle noise.
Hello again.
Well, that wasn't very long, was it?
I've still got dead bug in my mouth.
It's the fucking price of shite.
It's the fucking price of shite.
It's the fucking price of shite.
Oh, it's that fucking price of shite.
And that's right.
Come on.
2019's first price of shite as far as I remember.
Oof, oof, oof, oof, oof, oof.
Might be the second.
I don't know. No, we haven't done
one. No, we're doing the price of
shite BFG edition.
Ah. And BFG stands
for bought, found,
given. So I have three
items today. One was bought,
one was found, one was given.
I just have to do something there. It's like dry
bug, bug
licorice, chocolate
It's all just swilling around in the back of my throat.
You know what? When you think about what we've just put
or what you've just put in your mouth, you've put
savoury, sweet, candy
boiled, sweet, gooey
It's all bubbling over. Is it coming
up? It's coming up.
It's there.
Is it Arctic Monkeys reference?
Was it?
It wasn't?
No, it was Gorillas.
Monkey Gorillas.
It's there.
I like that.
I don't want you, baby.
Oh, then how? It's there. There you go. I want you, baby Hold it now
It's there
There you go
We're available for parties
Right, Paul
Me and Eli are the premier UK Gorillaz cover act
What's the other songs they did?
I don't know
They did that one
They did that one It's there
It's there
Anyway
It's time now
Price is right
BFG edition
I have
A thing
We've gone to many charity shops
But we never really buy books
And yet
Charity shops are often festooned
They are festooned with books
But what you name
Mornley
Yeah go on mate
What you normally get
in a bookshop is
terrible. Ruth Rendall
books and you used to get like
Dick Francis. Yeah.
How many books did Dick Francis
quotation marks actually write? It was his
wife, wasn't it? Oh, I don't know too much about
Dick Francis. Dick Francis was a successful
jockey. Horse jockey?
Yes. Okay.
It's a disc jockey, I don't know. Or successful jockey. Horse jockey? Yes. Okay. You might have said disc jockey.
I don't know.
Or knob jockey.
I don't know.
Paul.
What?
No.
It's there.
I wouldn't have said jockey if I meant disc jockey, would I?
I don't know.
Just admit that.
No, just admit that.
No.
Yeah.
I don't have to.
This is Paul's show.
So I wouldn't have said jockey if I met this jockey
And
What other kind of jockeys are there
Knob jockey
No
No I would have said knob jockey
If I'd met knob jockey
Right well
Knob jockey
Is a phrase you made up
Back in the 90s
It's there
And I've never heard anyone
Say knob jockey before
So anyway
On the show
Jockey
I
We've never really touched books In the show that often Dick Francis Now don't give a fuck about that Or jockeys He was a jockey before. So anyway, on the show, Jockey! We've never really
touched books in the show
that often.
Dick Francis.
Now don't give a fuck
about that or jockeys.
He was a jockey.
But his wife wrote his books.
And?
Were they horse-based books?
They were horse-based thrillers.
Set around race courses.
The race games, yeah.
Oh, boring fucking topic.
Yeah, there's loads of them.
Thousands.
Oh, who did it, officer?
It was a jockey.
It was the horse.
The horse did the boy down.
Now you can see, the assailant must have been about three foot tall to get in here.
It was the jockey.
For some reason, though, a tiny...
Oh, the assailant was eating hay.
It's the horse.
We found tiny little footprints walking away from the crime scene.
Aha, that'll be the jockey, so it will.
Ah, we found big...
You'll never get me.
Oh no, there's a twist.
It turns out the horse
was wearing little tiny shoes
under its feet.
It got away with it
because we thought
there were two murders
but there was actually one.
It was the horse.
You'll never find me
so you won't.
You'll never catch me alive.
Anyway, I've got three fucking books.
Let's do it.
One was bought.
Yeah.
One was given.
Given.
And one was found.
Found.
So you now have to tell me, out of the three books, which was bought, given or found.
Ready?
Let's see this.
Let's see the first book.
Here's the first book.
Go.
This is the bumper book of fads and crazes.
Written by Richard Lewis, author of the encyclopedia of cult children's TV.
That was quite a popular book, I think.
I believe so, but I don't know.
This is very good.
Hello Kitty, it's got in there.
It's got all entries of different fads.
Lego, clackers.
Do you remember clackers?
Yeah.
No, that's the monkey.
Similar sound.
All right.
You clack your balls together.
Legwarmers.
Can you make the noise of them?
I don't know.
That's someone dying.
Now, legwarmers.
I didn't need legwarmers as a child, as you know.
No, because you sleep on my junkie.
Yeah, you were very progressive.
But that was a very big phase.
So, yeah, it's a book that lists all the kind of fads and crazes and toys and things that were popular.
Marbles.
We were talking about those a couple of weeks ago.
It's all sorts of lovely things in there.
The maternity smock.
What?
I mean, look, not all of it's for kids.
Some of it is like adult-based.
The maternity smock?
I don't know.
That's like those dresses pregnant women used to wear.
The shrinky dink.
A shrinky dink.
Do you remember that?
What's that?
Was the shrinky dink the thing you put in water and it grew?
Open your cereal packet.
Yeah, open the cereal packet.
Pull out the large flat disc of plastic printed with a goofy design and colour it with felt.
Yeah.
Then preheat your oven.
Oh.
And bake for two to three minutes.
When it's done, your colouring will have reduced to the size of a postage stamp.
It can then be thrown away or simply lost.
Oh.
It's like when you used to put Monster Munch packets in.
Monster Munch packets?
Monster Munch packets In the oven
They shrink
Something like that isn't it
So what does it shrink in the oven then
It shrinks yeah
It's called a shrinky dink
That's the clue
Alright
It's a clue for you Paul
A clue
Wacky wall walker
I remember the wacky wall walker
Do you remember that
Is that the thing you throw at a wall
And it kind of
Floppy flop flop
The weeble
Your penis
No one ever threw my penis
at a wall
and it flibby flobbed down
that's a shame
right so that's the first book
right
happy with that
I'm happy
next book
here's the next one for you
what's this one
it's all in the game
a short history of board games
ah gift
gift gift gift gift
I'm reading that book
at the current moment
what's it like
fascinating
because um
two of the biggest games in there that they start off with,
first of all, they talk about backgammon and chess,
so that's fair enough.
But they also talk about Monopoly and the Game of Life.
And in both instances, they came out of...
Protest.
Austerity and protest.
So you look at the Game of Life,
and Milton Bradley was a very poor print designer
who was going
through a rough patch
because not many people
were buying his works.
People still play
the game of life.
Yeah.
Still huge.
Still big.
The book says
they sold this year
1.7 million copies.
Have you ever played it?
I've never played it.
Yeah, yeah.
It's similar.
You have to collect
money and houses.
No, you have a little car.
You collect people.
You build a family.
You go around.
You split.
You go via art college or you can go straight into work. It's similar to Monopoly in its gameplay. No, you have a little car, you collect people, you build a family, you go around, you split, you go via college or you can go straight into work.
It's similar to Monopoly in its gameplay.
Well, no, because there's a lot less finagling of cash and deals.
Yes, but you go around, you land on things and you collect money and buy.
But towards the end of the game, you've got to find some kind of retirement
that brings you happiness.
It's changed many times, but it started off as a religious...
To reflect social norms and political
sort of correctness
of the time
yeah
it used to be like
the black people
move into the neighbourhood
so you have to move
it wasn't ever that bad
in fact that was the problem
with it
it didn't really touch
on anything outside
of what a white
middle class person
might experience
in their life
so the original game
was called
Mansion of Happiness
it was some kind
of religious board game
and Milton Bradley
sat down and played it
and thought it was nice,
but he needed his own version of it,
long story short.
In order to sell it.
Because it was one of those games
where it was so religious
where you're punished for sloth
and you'd go to that square.
The idea you had to get 100 points.
So it was a board game where you had to be pious
and get through life.
But it looked like a chess board game
where every other square was a sin or a thing.
So he decided to rebrand it and redo it
and called it the Christian Game of Life
or something like that.
Okay.
And similar to how it developed,
it became a game where you had to live a very pious life
and do good deeds and blah, blah, blah
to get to the end and retire happily.
Milton Bradley built his career off the back of that game
and then fell out of favour.
And then he became a huge brand.
Yeah, but then it got sold to another company.
They didn't just do,
they don't just do
the Game of Life now.
No, they do all sorts now.
MB, it's MB, right?
Well, no, because it all got bought
by Hasbro in the end.
So long story short.
It used to be MB.
I'm sure I remember seeing MB on games.
Yeah.
That must have been Milton Bradley.
I don't know, you know,
but either way.
MB games is a big thing.
It's pretty much existed like that
for a little while until,
until if I remember rightly,
about 1960,
the game had been out of,
the original game had been out of popularity for like 30,
40 years.
So to celebrate a hundred years of Milton Bradley's,
they got this designer here who invented the hula hoop.
You know,
that guy,
they went,
you were great at toys because you invented the hula hoop,
the biggest toy in America in the 50s.
But it was huge in America.
The biggest selling toy of all time.
It's one of the biggest fads.
It must be in this book.
Yeah,
well,
it might be,
but, I'm going to look it up in Fads and Crazies.
So the guy who invented the hula hoop,
was asked to redo Game of Life
and that's how he added in the family,
the point system, the spinning teeter-totter
thing. He rebooted the whole thing.
He put in the 3D buildings and stuff
to make it more tactile and so that's kind of
how it is, but it's developed over time to different
versions and updated with the times.
And one guy, an independent board game maker
called The Real Game of Life,
where he puts in things like,
if you roll a one, you die at birth
and you can't play the game.
And things like that.
Oh, so really bad shit happens.
You take some bad drugs and this happens
or you get drafted into the war.
You're dead.
Yeah, seriously.
There were basically one-shot kills in the game.
Right, but that was never used to be You're dead. Yeah, seriously. There were basically one-shot kills in the game. Right.
But that was never used to be.
Monopoly, however, similar.
It started out because in America,
they were trying to come up with this one-tax system.
And it was a small movement moving within America where the idea was, forget about all the mini-taxes.
Let's just have a land tax.
And that way, the person who owns the land and develops,
almost communistic but not quite, would own the thing and they would pay one tax
and it would all go back into the country.
Well, there's a lot of people still today, Paul,
that says that's the problem with the inequalities
within the capitalist system is they tax property
rather than land.
So a lady who was a follower of this one-tax system
based a board game that she created on the kind of...
She basically did it as a satire.
A satire of capital, capitalism. It was called the landlord's she basically did it as a satire. A satire of capitalism.
It was called the Landlord's Game
and you had to play a landlord and the idea is
to make a satirical point of how people
were being ripped off in the 1890s
whenever it was. You played it
and you go, oh I've learned a lesson that all landlords are bad.
However, people
didn't get that. They just went, oh I can
be a nasty landlord and fuck my friends over in this game.
Then it had like three...
Still a shit game though.
But it spread
and people started like
copying it
and adding bits to it.
So Monopoly isn't so much
a creation of one person
but like hundreds of people.
Yes.
And eventually one guy
called Darrow,
I think his name is,
ripped the idea off,
added a few things
because the reason why...
And copyrighted it.
Because you know like
you have the thimble
and the matchstick
and the iron.
That all came about
because there were no pieces
when you bought the game and people were designing it themselves. So they, you have the thimble and the matchstick and the iron. That all came about because there were no pieces when you bought the game
and people were designing it themselves.
So they used household items
like thimbles and pins
as moving pieces.
And that's how it came to be
and it grew and developed
and became Monopoly.
Long story short,
people loved it
because it was a game
where you fucked people over.
People always love those games.
The only complaint Monopoly has,
by and large,
by people who make it and play it,
is it goes on for too long.
So they've always been trying to refine it to make it a simpler or faster moving game.
The hula hoop craze of the late 50s, we all remember, was formulated and controlled by Richard Knurr.
Is this who you mean?
Maybe.
Richard Knurr and Arthur Spud Merlin of America's Wham-O toy company.
Yeah.
Wham-O is not the world's most original innovator.
Anticipated trends. No, I believe the hula hoop was originally big in Australia. That's right. company yeah whammo is not the world's most original innovator anticipated trends no i believe
like the hula hoop was originally big in australia and then it got right and then the guy bought it
and took it to america 57 knur and merlin were tipped off about a hoop twirling in australia
by a visiting friend yeah well most of us would probably say really how fascinating and turn back
to our color supplement knur and merlin sprung into action yeah they nicked it yeah and whammo
is make the whO, that bouncy
ball I have, you know that Wham-O
bouncy ball? Yeah.
They're one of the most original
bouncy ball makers. I'm going to
get my Wham-O ball down now.
We've seen it before. So that's that second
book and it also goes on to talk about Risk
and Cluedo and even up to the
recent settlements of Catan.
It's not every single game but there's some nice pictures in the middle where you get up to the recent settlements of Catan. So it's not every single game,
but there's some nice pictures in the middle
where you get to see the early versions of Monopoly
and Game of Life.
So in the centre, you can see, like,
there's the original Monopoly as a landlord's game,
and there's the circular thing.
Oh, that's like a circular Monopoly board.
Yeah, because no one really knew.
1939, 1933.
Yeah.
So people would make their own versions
and send them around universities or colleges and things like that. Terrible game. I no one really knew. 39, 33. Yeah. So people would make their own versions and send them around
universities or colleges
and things like that.
Terrible game.
I don't like it.
But it's a fascinating history.
Twister.
Mousetrap.
Mousetrap.
Monogamy.
Yeah.
I haven't played that.
There's that bar in Hackney
which is the board game bar.
A thousand people playing Catan.
Yeah.
It was a huge,
it revolutionised
tabletop gaming in Catan
because it suddenly started
bringing people together
to enjoy board games again.
Yes, because it had a simplicity to it, didn't it?
Yeah.
It's a simple game.
Because before that,
there was very much in the Dungeons & Dragons
sort of tables, wargaming, loads of dice and all of that.
And it brought it back to just simple strategy.
So, great book.
And whilst we're talking about games,
I did pick up, as you saw, Paul.
Oh, yeah.
I keep wanting to say Stack Ridge
Stack Market
Stack Market
yeah
which is like
an investment game
and a balance game
and a balancing dice
on top of each other
we're going to be
playing that in the future
in Gannon's Golden Games
section
okay good
you think we'll have
a little look at it
well it's a vintage game
it's 80s isn't it
or 90s
it's nice

Noel
stop giving me the fear
and actually sit
on the sofa
why is he perching
like a cunt
on the sofa
because he's casual
and all cool
the sofa's empty
who gets to sit
on the sofa
they probably did
57 different pictures
of around that couch
and that was the one
they went with
I would have more respect
if he was just
right up against the camera
pressing his nuts
grabbing it
and going
fuck look at my life
I'm gnarly.
Let me read you the back.
Alright.
Cosmic advice
that you can use every day.
Okay.
So this is a book
a self-help book.
Do you know when you look at this
do you know what this reminds me of?
Alan Partridge's
Bouncing Back
because this was written
around the time
Deal or No Deal was huge.
Yes.
So this is like his first proper comeback
after kind of late mid-90s, early 2000s kind of wasteland.
Throughout my many ups and downs,
the successes and the failures in my life,
there has been a consistent and all-embracing belief
that a positive attitude produces results.
That's what he thinks.
It extends to,
if you don't have bad thoughts,
you'll never get cancer kind of attitude.
But that's it.
Acknowledged both as one of the most famous faces on British television and an astute businessman,
Noel Edmonds knows what it's like to be a hugely successful person.
In this book, he talks about the highs and low points of his career,
how he dealt with major changes in his life,
and how his belief in himself and the cosmos has brought him back to the screens in Deal or no deal drawing on his own experiences he tells you how to make your own look stay focused
when things are tough be positive in a negatively oriented world play to your strength and step
outside your comfort zone ultimately develop your inner strength that will enable you to get the
most out of your life what are you waiting for the cosmos is the limit oh fuck oh god i'm just Oh, fuck.
Oh, God.
I'm just going to read a little bit of the prologue.
Not a lot.
Not a lot.
So here we go.
Noel Edmonds' prologue to his book.
Here we go.
I am, by nature and nurture, a positive person.
Of course, I've had lows, particularly in my personal life.
Note, like when that woman
you wanted to marry left you and told the papers.
And when
through your negligence you killed a man.
Yeah. Where failed relationships have
caused me considerable anguish and
the loss of loved ones and enduring sadness.
My resolve has been tested
on many such occasions throughout my life
but my positive attitude has always
seen me through.
However, it wasn't until I read a description of cosmic ordering by Bob Elmore's book,
The Cosmic Ordering Service,
that I realised my outlook on life was a positive one.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, cosmic ordering,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
I believe in the cosmos, Paul.
Yeah.
Does that mean I get to be rich?
Well, hang on.
You know what I'm picturing right now?
Big wadja money.
Here's what Noel Edmunds says to you.
Big wadja money.
Do you want to be positively happy, Eli?
Yes.
No.
First of all, you really have to want to make a commitment to actively, actively changing your life.
I really do, and I actively want to.
If you don't, then I'm sorry.
This book isn't going to help you.
No, but no!
If you want success and love and happiness that goes with them,
you can't wait for others to bring them to you.
I want others to bring it to me!
Being truly, positively happy only comes from proactively pursuing what you want to do.
Show mine up to people on the street!
You're the one with vision and you only have the power to bring it to life.
Get my tits out!
The intention of this book
is to show, in some small way,
how my positive relationship with the
world and cosmos around me has greatly
improved many aspects of my life and
helped me through others. It might work for
you. I could shit myself and then
they'd have to take me to hospital.
What?
Give me that.
This is a load of shit, Noel.
I'm going to read that.
I am going to take time to read it
because I think there might be some juicy pills in there
that I can bring back for another Noel Watch.
So, three books in.
Noel, we found Fads and Crazies was purchased.
And I'll tell you how much for when I get it right.
Hang on, let me write it down first before you do it
so I can...
What, how much I think it was. So just so you don't
conical, excuse me, I've written down what they are.
Okay. Okay. So what did you think
the first book, which was
The Fads and Things, what do you think that was?
I think he bought that. I think it was the B of the F
B, FGB. Okay.
Alright, what do you think the second book, which is
All in the Game. History of Board Games by
Tristan Donovan. Yeah. Was a gift,
a Christmas gift. Okay gift you're saying gift there
and Noel Edmonds you found it
talking to the mic
go on
and Noel Edmonds
he found it somewhere
so you said
sorry am I talking into the mic?
yes well you meant to it's a podcast
get some better mics
no get better mic technique you never see me a podcast. Fuck yeah. Get some better mics. No.
Get better mic technique.
You never see me.
It's not quite
important.
So you said the
first book was
bought.
The second book
was given and
the third book
was found.
And that is what
I've said. The answer is the first book was given, and the third book was found. And that is what I've said.
The answer is, the first book, fads and crazers, bought it.
That's what I said.
Got it from a little charity shop.
Well done.
It was only a quid.
Second book, found.
It's all in the game.
It was found.
Found under the Christmas tree.
Santa put it under the tree.
No.
Found it under the Christmas tree with my name on.
Found it. No, under the tree. No. Found it under the Christmas tree with my name on. Found it.
No, I'm not accepting this.
It was a gift, you prick!
And the third one was a gift from Chai,
who gave it to me when he came to see me and Jem do the...
No, no, no.
No, you've cheated.
You've cheated.
You've ruined this game and you've cheated.
Found it under a tree.
You found it under a Christmas tree, which is a gift.
By definition, it's a gift.
No.
I found it.
I'm walking out.
Go on then.
Fuck off.
That was a hugely successful segment of the Price of Shite.
I won.
I won.
You cheated.
I win by default because you cheated.
Two of them were gifts.
One was found under a Christmas tree.
I can't believe you're saying that to me.
And with this look on your face like...
Is it a smug look?
Yeah.
Good.
It's meant to be.
But it's not fooling anyone. The point is that I...
Cheated at the game.
And you're bad.
And you did not look...
You're just a bad loser.
You're just a big bad...
You're an ugly bad loser.
I'm getting out the plastic eye patch and I'm going to smear it on you.
You can't do that.
Because if you do, this pencil's going...
You fucking...
Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen.
I beat the shit out of...
You come here, you fuck!
He's left the room!
Like a coward!
Bastard!
I can't believe you've thrown away
the sanctity of this very show.
I can't believe you ran like a coward when I challenged you to a fight.
I could just let...
I'd just like to let everyone know...
I'm so frightened of Big Bad Pockets.
I'd just like to know, Paul did get a good wipe on his forehead
with the scabby eye patch of your...
If I get any rash on here or any dirt, anything...
You won't know. Leaky Ken.
Leaky Ken helps.
He rubs the dirt from the eye patch in.
His ball is like a poultice.
Leaky Ken is my poultice.
I want a T-shirt.
There's your T-shirt.
Yeah.
Right.
Good.
Okay, Paul.
Now, to finish off this show this week.
Yes. Let's return. Oh week, let's return one more time
to the Hardsource Experience.
Sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun.
Come with me to a corridor.
The spices rack the walls.
And one thing is for sure.
Those spices are so hot.
He's going to stab me again.
I'm getting all stabby today.
Put the pencil down.
Right.
No stabbing.
Can't promise it.
Welcome to Hot Sauce Experience.
I've just realised, Paul, I need to go get a hot sauce from the kitchen.
Just hang on.
I'm going to have to improvise a song
with my friend, Mr. Monkey.
Let's
have a hot sauce
party. Let's have
a sexy party.
You and me. Let's
get naughty in a
hot sauce party. We're
going to rub that hot sauce into your tits. I'm going to rub that hot sauce into your tits.
I'm going to rub that hot sauce into your bits.
My cock will be slapping in hot sauce all night.
In a hot sauce party delight.
Tonight.
Thank you.
Okay, got it all down.
Mr. Monkey, you're very good.
You're like Dave Grohl.
I know.
You could have been in the Foo Fighters.
Oh, right. Oh.
Right.
Right.
I've realised I haven't got anything to put the hot sauce in.
We're going to just have to dib-dab-dib-dab on our little fingers.
On our little fingers.
All right.
Ready?
Yeah.
What have we got?
We have got...
Pass me those two on the far left in the hall of sauces over there.
On the far left.
This one?
Yeah.
This one?
Yeah.
Right.
Now, let's just start with something standard, Paul.
All right, standard.
Pick this up in the States.
This is Walker's Wood Plenty Hot Jamaican Fire Stick Pepper Sauce.
So when they say Jamaican, what do you reckon that implies?
It's a way of making sauce.
I know, but what makes it Jamaican?
Is it a flavour, a herb? It's a way of making sauce. I know, but what makes it Jamaican? Is it a flavour, a herb?
It's the pepper.
This is one of the few sections of the show I agree with,
want to do more of, and I'm interested to find out more.
It is the species of pepper they use, which is Scotch bonnet.
Let's see, I'll tell you.
I bet there's Scotch bonnet here.
I'm my Scotch bonnet.
Well, it just says hot peppers.
Okay.
Water, vinegar, sugar.
So how many hots is it out of 10?
This?
Yeah.
It says it's plenty hot, but I'd say it's not that hot.
Okay.
This, I think, for the American market, they've made it more sugary.
See what you think.
Oh, that doesn't surprise me.
See what you think.
It has a kind of sweetness.
I'm just going to put a couple of drops on your finger.
Well, I can do it.
I can do it. I should have a hoof a hoof it is sweet it's almost ketchupy does it
have a ketchupy smell what do you think oh yeah yeah i like it so here we go i'm just gonna make
sure you get enough now what do you think oh oh it's nice it's prickly it's very prickly but it
is very sweet and vinegary see to me that isn't a very standard sort of Jamaican tasting sauce.
Is it not?
No, to me, it's a nice hot sauce.
It's peppery.
It's very peppery.
You know, I don't know if I like the vinegary sweetness all that much.
It makes it feel watery, and I like maybe my hot sauce to be a bit more gelatinous,
if that makes sense.
Yes.
Thicker.
It's watery.
Slightly watery.
In itself, not a problem.
Okay. Now, if I were to pour that on my penis, right on the tip. You'd probably have some burning. Yeah. Yes. make sense yes thicker it's watery slightly watery in itself not a problem okay now if i
would have poured that on my penis right on the tip you probably have some burning yeah yes severe
quite severe would it bring the maggots what maggots the maggots and the dick maggots horribles
horribles maggots now the next one paul uh we've tasted one of their sauces before. Yeah. This is El Yacatecas
hot sauce, chilli habanero
Hey, Yacatecas
Habanero
is similar to
a Scotch bonnet pepper
but is a very hot pepper. Right
Here come the hot pepper
murderer
I'm sorry, I don't know why
I'm just, I don't know why it's amused me
hey
Yakateka
oh dear
we make our own
fun on this podcast
you do your own
become the hot pepper
murderer
alright
so this is green
they have a red
and a green
and we tasted already
their XXX Picante
which I liked
I liked that
I'm telling you it has some fucking teeth on it.
Yeah, it's got a punch.
I was dipping my chicken nuggets in it the other day.
And I was like, oh, I'll have some of that extra, extra, extra hot.
It wasn't that bad.
No.
It builds.
Oh, I'll tell you what.
It builds like a building thing.
Like a border wall.
Yeah.
Oh, we went to.
Oh, look at us doing topical.
Anyway. Now, Paul, El Yakuteka, I'll be getting into it. like a border wall yeah oh we went oh looking us doing topical anyway
now Paul
El Yakuteka
I'll be getting into it
they also did this
extra special reserve
oh yeah
which is the black
very smoky one
oh that's the one I liked as well
I liked that one
it's a great brand
yeah
but I also was out in the States
oh
oh he's put it in his eye
oh no
oh no
oh I don't know what to do
just make make yourself tear up
wash it out with a tear
wash it out with a tear
try and keep it open

that will make me cry
why would it make you cry
you have no compassion for me
it's so sad
oh my god
now be sure this is the problem with not using a spoon yeah It's so sad. Ah! Oh, my God!
Now, be sure not... This is the problem with not using a spoon.
Yeah.
All right?
You don't rub your eyes, okay?
How are you feeling?
Oh, you jibbly-jum-jum.
Don't jiggle your jambles.
I will not be touching my jingle-jangle-jewelry-jewelry.
So, I know that could take a go.
Yeah.
Oh, you haven't tried it yet?
No, but I just wanted to mention these.
Oh, okay.
My sister, in my Santa's stocking on Christmas morning, I found these.
This is a gift set of miniature El Yacateco sauces, a mini pack.
And you see we've got, that's the red hot sauce there.
That's the green.
That's just a smaller version of that one that we're going to taste.
Yeah.
That is the extra, extra, extra
hot, which I've got a bottle of, which we tasted.
And then there, a Caribbean style.
Which is one I have never seen.
Which I would try and get hold of, but I don't really want to break this box open.
It's a lovely display case.
Well, maybe one day you'll get weak.
There'll be a picture of this
on the website.
Hey, Akateka. Yeah, picture of this on the website. Hey, hey,
it will be on the website.
You can see it, have a look at that.
It's lovely. Mini bottles.
But we're going to taste.co.uk.
It says 50 years, so they're an established company.
Yeah, 50 years is good.
Attractive bottles, very colourful labels.
I think so, lovely. So what would that be?
1970? 1970?
Yeah
1968?
Something like that?
68?
70?
80?
90?
Yeah 68
68?
Okay good
69
Alright
Yeah
So not as old as Tabasco
No
Something like that
By any means
But 50 years
And I'm just getting this
Fresh pepper
He's just peeling
Across the pond
I got this
Yeah I'm going to give it a good shake up just peeling it. From across the pond, I got this. Yeah.
I'm going to give it a good shake up.
Oh, he's shaking it up.
Now, this is their green.
Now, it's probably going to have a more vegetal, grassy perhaps.
Fresh.
You know, a fresh sort of planty.
Maybe a kind of earthy taste compared to the more tomatoey, sweet red peppers.
Okay.
That's what I'd say might be the difference.
All right, I understand.
See if you can pick up on any of that.
Oh, it's a lovely, lovely smelling pepper.
Did you notice that Stuart Ashen used your word huff on his video?
Huff, trademark.
Yeah, Stuart, you'll be hearing from our lawyer, Jimmy Biscuits,
who's going to be knocking on your door.
And mate, if you don't like him, we're sending Brand off round.
Well, Mr Goon will beiff of biscuits, won't he?
I've noticed that a lot
of your characters
are defined by how hard
or wet they get.
Well, that's, you know...
A lot about you psychologically.
Yes, it says a lot
about me psychologically.
Yeah.
Do you know what it says, Paul?
What?
I'm a sad little gremlin
who lives by himself
scribbling and scrabbling
in his own film.
Ah.
So, what did you think
of the smell of the green... You're right. It's got a very...bling in his own film. So, what did you think of the smell of the green?
You're right.
It's got a very grassy almost.
Like sweet pepper.
Like a cilantro almost.
Yeah.
You can smell the herb.
It's got a herbal.
Yeah.
A fresh green herbal.
Okay.
I'm going to have a little bit on my...
He's having a little bit on his finger.
Oh, God.
A load came out.
You said that before,
ladies and gentlemen.
I'm going to have to lick it.
Put it in your egg cup.
Drip it in your egg cup.
No.
Pour some in here.
Okay, I'm pouring some
in the cap.
Then just dip it, dip it.
Dip it into the cap.
Hang on,
I don't want to rush it.
Careful, there you go,
that's enough.
All right, here we go.
Shall we taste this together?
Yeah.
Oh, that's quite mild, isn't it?
It is, but it builds.
It's very nice.
It's a nice flavour.
Like spring oniony.
That's exactly right.
Spring oniony.
It's nice.
What would that go well with?
What would you put that on?
Eggs.
Now, if I was to put that on my eggs and dick,
like the question before,
it wouldn't burn as bad as the fire stick,
but it would still cause some discomfort
if I was to, say, swab it around the tip of my penis
and under the foreskin.
You'd be in some trouble, yes.
Okay.
And would, in that instance,
help to get it removed and cleaned as quickly as possible?
Probably, yes.
Now, could that be a person's mouth?
Could what be a person's mouth?
The cleaning apparatus.
Yes.
What I'm saying is, can I pour it, Dick, and say, come on, now?
Well, your partner, whoever that may be, would need to...
Or they be.
All of them would need to enjoy hot sauce.
Well, I think...
You've heard of grapefruiting.
We've talked about that on the show.
I'm going to invent hot saucing.
Hot saucing.
Yeah,
where you put dab on your dib dab
and then a lady lady licks it
and she goes,
oh,
hot stuff.
So it's racist and sexist.
Why is it racist?
Because she was a Chinese lady.
No,
she wasn't.
She just had a high pitched voice.
Oh,
hot sauce.
No.
She did.
No,
she didn't.
Next one, last one.
Now, the last one, Paul, today.
What's your favourite out of the first two?
The fire stick and the green al jacateca?
So far, maybe the al jacateca.
Yeah, I'd say so.
Now, I'm going to pick this up the other day.
What did you say?
I picked this up the other day.
Okay.
This last one, and I've been quite excited to taste it.
So I'm glad
we're doing another episode
of the hot sauce experience.
The hot sauce.
Here it is, Paul.
Oh, it's called
ooft.
Ooft.
Which is the noise you make
when you shove the bottle
right up your ring.
Oh, ooft.
You've been a bad boy
and you owe Charlie
some money.
Oh, yeah?
What's he going to do?
Oh, have you not heard
what his little trick is to get him...
What's his trick? No.
He's got a weird little way of,
let's say, motivating you
to find that money.
I'm pretty motivated.
I've got my own business and everything.
You tell Charlie that.
I'm already very motivated.
You owe him 750 grand, so...
Well, I've got...
I'll have it tomorrow.
We want it today.
I'll have it no problem.
No, in fact...
Well, can't he wait a few hours?
In fact, Charlie wanted it a few weeks ago.
So, what I'm going to do is to encourage you to deliver the money on time. We want it today Oh we'll have it no problem No in fact Well can't he wait a few hours In fact Charlie wanted it A few weeks ago So
What I'm going to do is
To encourage you
To deliver the money on time
I'm going to
Put your head between your legs
Alright
Pull your pants down
Yeah
And stick a big bottle of oofed
In your crack
Oof
And then I'm going to
Pour it all in
And seal it shut
Shake it up
And as your insides burn
Are you going to give me
A hot sauce cream pie
I'm going to give you
A hot sauce oofed Don't just repeat What I pie? I'm going to give you a hot sauce ooft.
Don't just repeat what I fucking said.
I'm going to give you a ooft.
A premier grade sauce,
handmade in small batches
from an old Trinidadian family recipe.
It's Trinidadian, Paul.
Let's see if we can tell the difference.
Now, it looks like a good hot sauce.
It's got a very opaque...
It's Trinidadian.
It's ooft.
It's got the Trinidadian flag on it and everything.
Scotch bonnet, you see.
Although I did look at that and thought it was Scotland. It's very similar. It's a crossidadian. It's oofed. It's got the Trinidadian flag on it and everything. Scotch bonnet, you see. Although I did look at that and thought it was Scotland.
It's very similar.
It's a cross on a blue background.
White cross on a blue background.
Scotch bonnet, see?
Those are the ones.
Wearing it with pride.
Now let's see.
Let's see what this tastes like, shall we?
Let's go.
It's an orangey colour.
So we've had hot red, we've had green,
and this is a kind of fiery orange.
We've got the full spectrum of colours today.
It's pretty.
I'm just interested to see if Ooft has anything that distinguishes it,
apart from Jamaican hot sauces, and of course, the Bajan, the Barbadian ones,
are yellow and they have mustard in, so there's very different there, aren't there?
That's true.
We tried that.
Puff it.
It looks thick.
It's got a very similar smell to our fire stick.
Oh, really?
There's just been a bit of coagulation around the neck,
so I'm going to give it a good shake
to get it all even again.
He's talking about the bottle
though, isn't he?
Not his fat neck.
Right.
Ooh.
Ooh.
Is it a cheeky little number?
It smells very similar
to the fire stick
but a bit fruitier.
Have a sniff before you pour it.
Oh, yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
Milder.
It's not as...
Because that's quite a strong scent.
It doesn't have the same
vinegary astringence
as the fire stick.
Yeah.
But do you know what I mean about the actual sort of smell of the big soda?
It's got that almost...
Oh, I keep forgetting its fucking name.
What's that tomato-based garlic hot sauce?
I keep forgetting the name.
Sriracha.
Sriracha.
It hasn't got tomato in it.
No, I know, I know, I know, I know.
It's just me reaching for that fucking word.
But that's what it smells like to me.
It's got that kind of scent to it.
Now, have a little dipple dapple in there.
He dips his little dipple finger in and he puts it upon his tongue.
Ooh.
Very fruity.
Very fruity.
Sweet.
The heat.
I think that's the hottest we've had all day.
Really?
Yeah.
Your tongue's been numbed a bit by the previous, but think.
Ooh.
You know what to me?
It's got a dryness as well.
Yeah, no, it's dry.
It doesn't feel like the hottest, but it lingers more.
Yeah.
I think that's it.
Yeah.
I like that.
I like that as well.
That's a nice one.
That's got a real fruitiness.
That would be really nice with some like pork.
Okay.
You know, like a pork chop.
A marinated pork chop and some rice.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
And just that, just a dip.
All right, so if you had to take one of these away to a desert island with you
because you had to arbitrarily, which one would you take from the three?
It's difficult, but I think I would have to go for the Ooft.
The Ooft?
Yeah.
That comes in late in the game and takes the crown.
I like it.
I think I like the chili habanero.
Because that's got that kind of earthy greeniness to it. Yeah, I just think I like it. I think I like... It's the fruitiness. I think I like the chili habanero. Because that's got that kind of earthy greeniness to it.
Yeah, I just think I like...
I don't know why I like that better, but that would be my choice.
It's got a more fresh...
It's a more fresh...
That's it.
Maybe that's it.
It's a fresh tasting.
All right, wonderful.
Well, that was...
And the fire stick, which we both said is the least impressive.
That's starting to burn my tongue like a bitch.
So, again, third and final question, actually.
Yeah, the price.
No, no, no. If I was to put that on my penis, oofed. Again, again, third and final question, actually. Yeah, the price. No, no, no.
If I was to put that on my penis, oofed, again, slather it completely.
You'd be in big trouble.
Fully submerged.
You'd be in big, big trouble.
My balls and nuts in a bowl of it.
You'd be in big trouble.
Really?
Troubles.
Trouble coming.
So, out of the three, which one's going to do the most damage to my cock and balls?
Oofed.
All right, oofed.
Oofed, ladies and gentlemen, is there.
Oh, oofed is definitely the hottest of those three, man.
It's really causing me
Some actual gumption pain
It feels like my tongue
Has been
With a little axe
Someone has come
Into my tongue
With a little axe
With a little chopper
Pullman's put a little chopper
In your mouth
And he's got the chopper
On a flame
And it's a red hot chopper
Striking my tongue
Like a big
Like someone
Giving me
Oral Like someone giving me oral.
And that's all gone down.
Right, that was the Cheap Show episode that you just listened to.
My mouth's burning.
It's time to say goodbye.
We hope you've enjoyed Cheap Show enjoyed Did I just say the fire stick
was the cheapest of the three?
Which was it?
Only one dollar.
I've just fucking rubbed it
in my eyes.
Paul, don't do that.
Do you need a wet wipe?
It's too late for that.
I can't see.
