CheapShow - Ep 120: Leaving Mount Grotpants
Episode Date: March 29, 2019"Ello, ello, ello! What's all this then?" In this week's economy comedy podcast, Paul & Eli play as Cops & Robbers in a shabby, confusing race through the streets of London... Kinda! It's another Gann...on's Golden Games segment as they get to grips with the classic chase game "Scotland Yard". There is also a bumper edition of Silverman's Platter which contains an energy saving anthem, a sickly ballad sung by a green duck, a monkey calypso and an 80s Saturday Morning TV show's crack at the music charts. It's quite packed... And that's without the fact we discover "knock off" copies of our famous CheapShow characters, discuss a rather meaty topic in Tales from The Dancefloor and a quick dash of Shop floor story antics too. Enjoy!

What Eli doesn't know is that I've started recording and he doesn't know.
So let's just see what I can get him to say, shall we?
Let's try that.
Oh, Eli, are you ready to record the next episode of Cheap Show?

Eli Silver.
Welcome to Cheap Show
They're not going on nuzzle
So, yes, welcome to Cheap Show, the economy comedy podcast
I'm Paul Gannon, you're Eli Silver
I am
And that's fun, isn't it?
What have we got coming up on the show today, Paul?
Here's an idea from a listener on Reddit
Let's see if we can talk about...
Because, you know, like, last week we talked about the sauce trough section of the show.
It's not happening.
Sauce report.
Sauce report actually has made me, won me over.
Yeah, that's what I've been saying all the time.
I like the sauce report.
Sauce report.
Just like that.
This is an old sauce from a kebab I had sometime in the last week.
It's yogurt and garlic sauce.
Yeah.
And I'll be throwing that out. Spoff. It's not spoff. You sauce. Yeah. And I'll be throwing that
out. Spoff. It's not
Spoff. You did a joke. Do you know what? We need a
Spoff free episode. We need an episode
where we don't mention spunk
Paul. Let's stop as of now.
No we can't. No. You went Spoff.
No. You just said Spoff, Spoff, Spoff.
You just said it's Spoff.
That's the most basic thing.
It's Spoff. What's that? It's spoff. That's the most basic thing. It's spoff.
What's that?
It's spoff.
What would you like to say?
What would you like on your gravestone?
It's spoff.
Eli Spunk.
Hardly Spike Milligan, is it?
Eli Spunkerman.
It's just gone four minutes
still early in the show
yes
no more spunk
in this episode
I'm up for that Paul
I always have been up for that
it's always been you
pushing the spunk agenda
right okay
so
you wanted to say spunk then
didn't you
I'm not going to
abide by your
your constrictions
well you've already broken it
by actually saying it out loud.
I didn't say I'd do it.
You just said I'd welcome that, and I agree.
Well, I'd welcome it, but not this episode.
No, we're doing it now.
I'm not doing it.
Spunk, spunk, spunk.
Spunk, spoff, spoff.
Oh, icky, jizzy, delicious.
Oh, yum, yum, yum, yum.
It goes hard because of evolutionary reasons.
What's that mean?
It does.
It goes all jelly
after a few minutes.
It goes dry though
and flaky.
No, but that's
after a long time.
First it goes
egg attack.
So what?
It thickens, coagulates.
In order to stay up there
and have a better chance
of impregnating the egg.
You don't half put
the romance in it,
don't you?
My spunk congeals
like it's meant to
after a few minutes.
Okay. Anyway, here's another idea for the show because, you know. My spunk congeals like it's meant to after a few minutes.
Okay.
Anyway, here's another idea for the show.
You can make a bouncy ball out of it.
I won't tell you what the title of this is called.
I will say it's by someone.
This is the suggestion, is it?
From Billy Beansprout on Reddit.
That's their Reddit name?
Yes.
Okay.
It's not their real fucking name.
Yeah, it could be.
Billy Beansprout.
Did you just fart?
Did you just fart again?
I don't fart. Will you fucking stop it?
It's a small room, the House of Pickles, with a very, very, I'm going to say, close ecosystem.
It's a microclimate.
And, yeah, well, there was nothing micro about that.
That was macro.
Right?
Here's the idea.
I want to get to it. Fucking hell.
Eli, after a
hearty few days of London street food and lots
of beer, he should be blindfolded
and made to expel his waist.
Okay, that's how the idea starts.
Alright, I'm listening.
The show proceeds in the manner of the
brand versus off-brand challenges.
Paul handing Eli
a variety of different toilet papers,
which Eli can review for the listeners.
Hopefully he'll put his finger through one of them.
Eli's got some diaralt.
Yeah, it's that stuff, the hangover cure.
Yeah.
Diarrhea medicine.
Which is sufficiently binding to be an aid to timing the turd burst for the show.
This could be followed by a similar challenge
for man-sized tissues and wanking.
They can share their responsibilities here.
Can I?
Now?
And then someone says,
this is fucking excellent.
No, no, no, no.
No.
I'd just like to say, Paul,
that will not be happening.
That will not be happening.
It's not.
I'm not a grubby boy.
I'm not a dirty, grubby boy
who can tell the difference between toilet papers.
I just wipe my arse, get it over and done with.
Yeah.
Wash my hands.
Yeah.
Provided it's...
If there's wet wipes, I might have a go on those.
Although those are bad for the environment and they cause fat bugs.
Don't flush them.
Don't flush the wet wipes.
No.
They can be recycled.
You can wet your arse and put them in your recycling bin.
No, you can't.
Yeah.
No, you can't.
Yeah.
No.
Yeah.
No.
Yeah. No, you can't. Yeah. No, you can't. Yeah. No. Yeah. No. Yeah.
No, you can't.
Yeah.
I am persuading everyone listening to this podcast to use a wet wipe to wipe their arse
and then just put it in your recycling.
Paul.
Yeah.
We actually have now reached a new low on the show.
Have we?
Yes, we have.
I'm sorry, but we have.
What, that idea?
You shouldn't have read that out.
We don't encourage people.
Well, this is our time to address those ideas, isn't it?
What ideas?
To put a stop to that wipe your arse test.
It's not happening.
It's not happening.
You could have a version of the streets underneath it.
Wipe your arse, mate.
You are going to do this thing with dulex.
Or dulex. Who makes the toilet paper dulex or dulex
who makes the toilet paper dulex
no they make johnny's
oh I got her pregnant
because the comedy
with the condom
and the toilet paper
wipe your arse mate
that's not a very good idea
I've lost you
you're lost in a world of pain
shall we instead have a tales from the Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Floor?
T-T-T-T-Tales.
T-T-T-Tales from the Sh-Sh-Sh-Floor.
Sh-Sh-Sh-Floor.

I was doing those sounds to kill time while I looked at the email.
I forgot to do the email search and I was just doing sounds. That's what I do.
Oh, come on, rock me, Chaka Khan, because I feel for you.
I feel for you.
And they want me to.
That's not how it goes.
It is.
I think I love you.
This is from Arnie.
Not Arnie.
Everyone does the impression of the Impressionist, not the actual impression of Arnie.
What was that?
Is that a little yeti? No. It sounded like the yeti. What was that?
Is that a little yeti?
No.
It sounded like the yeti.
Well, it's not.
It's not.
Although he might be making a little appearance on this show a bit later, Paul.
You've asked for it.
I didn't know.
Just because I mentioned it. You fucking did.
It doesn't mean I've asked for it.
You fucking asked for it.
Does it mean there are no correlations?
You're inviting the yeti.
Mentioning? What? Like Candyman? Yes. Or for it. Does it mean there are no correlations? You're inviting the Yeti. Mentioning what?
Like Candyman?
Yeah.
Or Bloody Mary?
Yes, but there was no Candyman.
No.
It was a Clive Barker story.
Yeah.
Did it have the whole Say His Name Five Times thing,
the original story?
I can't remember.
I don't think it did.
I read it.
It was the Books of Blood, wasn't it?
The series of short story books.
I've not read a lot of Barker.
Clive Barker.
Short stories books.
Clive Barker.
Yeah.
He's into all sadomasochistic stuff. Yeah. And I've not read a lot of Barker. Clive Barker. Short stories books. Clive Barker. Yeah? He's into all
sadomasochistic stuff.
Yeah.
And I tried to read his...
What?
What are you looking at?
Your willy.
Because you were getting
excited about all the
Clive Barker stuff.
No, I wasn't.
I was looking for
your little big top
to be erected.
You're just a wasteland.
An intellectual wasteland.
Ah, fuck off.
Right. Here's a story
for Tales from the Shop Floor. Tales from the Shop Floor.
By Arnie.
The title gives it away, so I'm going to hold
that close. Dear, I'll just read you the story
as is. Tales from the Shop
Floor. Dear Paul
and Eli, I don't know if it would count,
but I used to work in a bar,
and then a pub when I was 18 and I've seen
a few... Does it count, Paul? Does it count? Yeah.
Yeah. Are you providing a service behind a
counter for patrons? It's a shop. It's a shop.
It's a shop. It's a shop for booze.
Booze shop. It's a boozy shop.
Booze shop. It's a place where you put your money down
and you get drinking. Get me drinking.
And it's a shop. Got me drunk on. It's a shop.
It's a pubby shop. Oh, I got me fucking
drink on. Oh. Come on, make it work. Got my drink on. It's a shop. It's a puppy shop. Oh, I got my fucking drink on.
Oh.
Come on.
Make it work.
Come on, quick.
Come on, make it work. It's not going to work.
With that attitude, nothing's going to work.
No.
Here we go.
One Saturday night, a regular at the bar I was working in came in and was doing what
many Brits do on a weekend.
Getting a binge on with his friends.
Right.
Oi, oi.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey, oi! He he he. He he he.
He he he.
He he he.
He he he.
He he he.
He he he.
He he he.
Oh, we should address that.
Right now.
That.
He he he.
He he he.
He he he.
He he he.
That clip of Paul Shane doing the sad pub singing song to You've Lost That Love of Feeling.
You've lost that love of feeling.
Comedy actor.
He he he.
He he he.
He he he.
Performer.
He he heer Fucking stop it
Oh mate
I am the closest I've been to punching you
Go on, push it
Push it and see where it gets you
Go on then
Don't
Let's just like
I'm going to turn your nose into a squashed Italian tomato.
All right?
Are you a magician?
No.
I'm just going to punch it and break all the bones in your nose.
Why?
No one likes you when you threaten me.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No, yeah, I'm right.
No, they don't.
Yeah, it's good.
They don't understand, though, the pain I have just working with you.
Just having to come to
this hellscape you call a bedroom draped in misery a room it's not draped in misery a room that just
you know what it looks like it's got a hole of sauces this bedroom looks like when a parent
loses a child right and then decides to never change the bedroom at all, ever.
Leave it in the state it was in.
And just let it get dusty as it was on the day that child died.
The only difference is you still live in that room.
Boom, boom, boom.
The point being is comedian and actor Paul Putner listened to the show,
got in touch and said, ah, people use that clip and they make fun,
but it's out of context.
Because at the time he does that performance on Pebble Mill
doing that song, and everyone
going, look at him singing like a fucking loser.
Yeah. He was in a play
at that time. And in that play, he played
a washed up pub singer, a cabaret
act. And so that song appears
in the play. I see. And so
yes, it's cringy
and awkward and weird. But it was meant to be
because he was playing the role of a cringy and awkward singer.
And he was on this Good Morning or whatever.
Yeah, Pebble Mill at one.
Pebble Mill at one to promote the play.
Yeah.
And so they never show that when they do the clips.
Instead, you get fucking...
There's a version of it online you can watch.
And it's spoken over by that comedian with the glasses on, 8 at 10 Cats.
What's his fucking name?
He was also in 15 Stories High.
He wrote with Mark Lamar.
Sean Locke.
Sean Locke.
Fucking Sean Locke.
I don't know if he wrote the script or whatever,
but every five seconds in between verses of the song,
he chips in with a little silly line.
Right.
And he just said, shut up, play the clip.
Oh, I wouldn't sing like that.
Baby, baby, where's my medicine?
You're not fucking funny talking over funny clips.
The clips are funny.
And if you're not secure enough to let the clip play out,
don't write shit mediocre commentary over it.
Don't go beadle with your fucking who's been framed shit.
Fucking shut it
Sean Locke
you're a horrible cunt
there we go
moving on
going places
I didn't think
we would be going Paul
but yes
and I like 15 stories
I think it's a fucking
amazing sitcom
what is it
it's the sitcom
we did with Lamar
they wrote it together
what era
but that was when
they were young
early 2000s
so maybe even
mid noughties
it came out
that was good I don't know
that was good
very good
and Locke was good in it
it's basically about
all these people
that live in a tower block
yeah
and he meets them
and goes on little adventures
and random people
along the way
he liked it
yeah very funny
it's one of those things
that people forget exists
if you go back and watch it
genuinely great stuff
okay
I recommend it
and the radio show
that came with it as well
there's a radio show
First
which is very sketchy
so the sketch format was going up a floor and going along a room and then you just have a different sketch for a different and the radio show that came with it as well there's a radio show First which is very sketchy so the sketch format
was going up a floor
and going along a room
and then you just have
a different sketch
for a different
but the TV show
was more sitcom-y
okay
but apart from that
horrible man
although someone might
be listening to it
and correct us
but I don't care
I'm never going to meet him
and frankly
if he listens to this
and meets me next
I don't want to meet him then
so I'm never meeting him
I'm never meeting him
what are we doing?
Oh, yeah, this.
So, okay.
Guy comes in, having a drink with friends.
I saw him go into the gents at about 11 p.m.
And we were due to close in about an hour or so.
Come 12, everyone had left.
But I remember that I never...
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
In about an hour or so?
Come on, when do you have to close?
You don't close at all or so.
You close at a licence.
It's just a pub.
Maybe it's a small little pub that closes at midnight.
Or you close at 11.
You don't go, oh, so.
No, he's saying he roughly doesn't know the exact time of the guy going in and coming out.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah.
So come 12, everyone had left, but I remember that I never saw the guy come out the toilet.
Wasn't he with his friends?
He was binging with his friends.
Yeah, but that's what they're saying.
Where did they go?
They left.
Well, we don't know.
Let's get through the story before you fucking rinse it.
Okay.
There weren't any male staff around, and I was friendly with the regular, so decided
to investigate myself.
What?
I was friendly with the regular?
Yeah.
Who's the regular? I don't know what that means. I was friendly with the regular. Yeah. Who's the regular?
I don't know what that means.
I was friendly with the regulars.
Regulars.
So maybe what she's saying...
Is it she?
It must be.
There weren't any male staff around.
Well, she's going in.
She's venturing into the male bogs.
So Arnie's a lady then.
Unless that's Amy.
Oh, it's Amy.
I read it wrong.
You're looking at it.
It looks like Arnie.
Paul Gannon.
Names expert.
What does that look like in the distance?
He'll remember them.
It looks like Arnie if you quickly look at it.
Yes, because it's only one M.
So it looks like it could be Arnie.
Yes, Paul, yes.
So there you go.
You're not just a complete wank shaft.
Idiot.
Right.
So she goes in, she opens the door,
and a waft of piss greeted me.
Always great flavour, that.
That always greets you when you
go into men's boxing. Really gets you right in the nose.
Burns that piss smell.
The number of times I've had it on my face.
Dribbling down
from a glass table. Oh, you're just, just
£50 they said. £50.
Easiest £50 you'd make they said.
What else did they say?
Can we keep you for another
hour? And then what did you do?
It got dirty!
He pulled in me
mouth!
Right, okay, let's crack on. So,
opened the door, waft of piss greeted
me. As I came in, I saw
the middle cubicle door wide open
and our poor regular
bent forward, sat on the
toilet, trousers round his ankles, and
head between his legs. This is the guy
from earlier. Yeah, out cold.
I lifted him up, and all
was revealed like a horrible prize
behind the curtain. Ah yes,
of course. I forgot
they would be a penis, I thought. I
tried everything I could do to wake him up.
I even pinched him.
I started getting worried and called the ambulance.
They managed to bring him around very quickly and take him away.
He looked very embarrassed at the time, but not for long,
as he was back the next weekend.
However, a year later, I saw him in the news,
and that he'd been arrested multiple times
for getting his willy out to women in public places.
He was pretending.
So the whole story, for me, has changed
and I wonder if he really blacked out at all.
He didn't. Dirty bastard.
Thanks for all the work you do. Always look forward to
listening. Lots of love, Arnie.
Amy, you're such
a dick. No, you are.
He's such a dick.
Well, he had such a dick. So I reckon he just went
for a shit and fell asleep, though.
Yeah, because you'd think you'd pull it... Once you'd though. Yeah, because you think you'd pull it, you'd
once you'd seen it, then you'd think
you'd come too, wouldn't you? Yeah. You'd still go,
oh, I woke up, you've seen my dick now.
Mission accomplished.
Mission accomplished? Well, I'm
putting myself in his position.
He wants
to show his dick.
He goes for the rigmarole of
seriously, this takes Columbo-esque kind of planning to go, oh, I want it to look at his dick. So he goes in. He goes to the rigmarole of, seriously,
this takes Columbo-esque kind of planning
to go,
oh,
I want her to look at my dick.
Oh,
she works here,
everyone else is men.
How can I do it?
I could accost her,
I could surprise her.
I'm going to wait in a toilet
for over an hour
with my pants down
and I'll be asleep
when she comes in
guessing that she'll have
to come in.
The odds,
who else is going to come in?
No one.
I'll wait.
Oh, oh, I couldn't sleep.
Well, these perverts go to lengths.
And then pinch, pinch.
Oh, yeah, pinch harder.
Oh, oh.
You really have put yourself in his place, haven't you?
No one makes that noise.
No one makes that noise.
Only you make that noise.
Now, yes, but you'd think, Paul,
I think someone could maybe go to those lengths
to expose themselves.
But where it falls down for me, that theory, is that they actually called the ambulance.
You'd think, oh, I can't wake them up.
You know, you think now it's time to wake up.
He's just drunk.
He's very drunk, though.
He's just drunk.
He'd have to be very drunk.
Very drunk.
I reckon he was very drunk.
But then why did he expose himself?
Just unrelated.
Well, because. He's the type of guy.
One thing leads to another.
You fall asleep with your cock out on the toilet
and the next minute, you know, you're dangling it out of the public park.
Maybe that's what started it. That incident started it off
in his mind. We don't know. He thought when he
did come round... Unless he had prior.
I think he did. Is that you listening?
Were you that man? Get in touch.
How did you do it? Unless it's Sean Locke.
It is Sean Locke
this podcast
announced right now
that the man
in that story
is Sean Locke
legally
I have proof
I have all the proof
I'll get Amy
to email me
saying it was Sean Locke
and then it's proof
and then we'll do
finding Sean Locke
and you can never
watch his comedy again
don't mind me
just blowing your nose into your T-shirt.
It's a vest.
Into your clothes, though.
It's ribbed for your comfort.
God, you dirty, fucking horrible, ugly, stumpy, nasty twat.
You're just a horrible cunt.
Fucking hell, Paul.
You're not being very good on this podcast this week. Oh, says a man blowing his nose Fucking hell, Paul. You're not being very good
on this podcast this week.
Says a man
blowing his nose
into his own clothes.
You don't have to include that,
do you?
I am going to include that.
Yeah, because you're malicious.
Everyone needs to see
what goes on
in the House of Pickles.
And it's a horror.
The sights I've seen.
I could do a speech
like Blade Runner
about the sights I've seen.
Oh, yeah?
Go on then.
Underpants off the coast of
Mount Groppance on fire.
I saw
scribbles.
What were they doing?
Marching to an endless lemming style
death into the
Skidmark Nebula. Okay Paul,
so that tells me the shop floor.
That's the section done. Welcome to Cheap Show, let's crack on.
We've got platters coming up.
And we've also got one of Ganon's Golden Games.
Ganon's Golden Games.
So let's just crack on.
Crack on.
It's time for Silverman's Platter.
Hi there, Paul.
Yeah, it's platter time.
What have we got coming up on the platters, Eli?
I don't know.
I'm talking to myself here.
I was just going to say all of a sudden I'm not needed.
Great.
Right, yes. Well, what have we got?
We've got platters, and they're coming at you like a platter splatter.
This is the segment of the show where the things we find in charity shops
of the vinyl nature are brought in, listened to, and evaluated.
Like a splatter platter on a man hat.
Right back at you on the splatter platter on a man hat right back at you on the splatter platter
it's funny how this DJ character is a lot like Randolph
here's one by Clyde McFatter
it's a real
splatter platter
you're not very good on this podcast
are you?
you're not very good on this podcast
yes it's time for Silverman Splatters
Paul and here we are Richard Randolph a DJ because they sounded similar those characters are you? I hope you're not very good. You're not very good on this podcast. Yes, it's time for Silverman's Platters, Paul.
Here we are.
Richard Brandoff, a DJ,
because they sounded similar,
those characters.
If that DJ had just gone
rof, rof, rof at any point.
He wouldn't, though,
because he'd be a totally
separate thing.
I am Teen Yeti.
No, that doesn't sound
like Teen Yeti.
Oh, hello, Teen Yeti.
What are you doing?
That's not Teen Yeti.
Oh, hello, I'm Teen Yeti.
That does not sound like Teen Yeti. Oh, I'm Teen Yeti. What are you doing? That's not Teen Yeti. Oh, hello. I'm Teen Yeti. That does not sound like
Teen Yeti. Oh, I'm Teen
Yeti.
I'm calling him over.
Come over here.
Hello.
I'm the real
Teen Yeti.
I'm the real Teen Yeti.
I am the real Teen Yeti.
I do not know
Can I say cunt?
Can I say cunt?
It's all getting a bit awkward there Eli
Listen I'm not
I shouldn't have to come out here
to defend myself against
weak imitations of me
I am Tune Yeti
I am underage
Sasquatch I'm underage Sasquatch.
I'm underage Sasquatch.
And I do magic tricks.
Oh, you do?
I do. Here's a magic trick.
He is making a rude gesture towards me.
I am too yeti.
I'm too yeti.
You're not too yeti.
You just said you were fucking adolescent Sasquatch.
What, Barbara?
You stupid bitch, Barbara.
Ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff.
I'm Richard Brandoff, and this is the voice I do.
Ruff, ruff, ruff, women, women.
Oh, they're nasty, I hate them.
Ruff, ruff, ruff, complicated sexual feelings
about who I really am behind the character
coming through in this hateful sexist character.
Oh, I'm ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff.
I'm too, and I just like
to use this opportunity.
Barbara!
Paul.
Something offensive.
Paul, I'd just like
to use this opportunity
to announce to
the listeners of
Tape Show.
I'd like to announce
something too.
No, you wouldn't.
You're not real.
I am real.
You're not real.
No one likes you.
Oh.
No, I can say that
with all certainty.
Oh.
We can have,
I'll tell you what, we can have another one of your fucking Twitter polls if you want. Oh. No, I can say that with all certainty. Oh. We can have, I'll tell you what,
we can have another one
of your fucking
Twitter polls if you want.
No.
And we'll find out,
is Toon Yeti
played by Eli Silverman?
And they will say,
yes.
They will say yes.
And he cannot be
portrayed by anyone else.
Oh.
And the same goes
for Richard Brendel.
Ah, Toon Yeti is like James Bond.
Oh, people can interpret it differently.
Oh.
Right, okay.
You say what you like.
I'll see you in court.
But...
I think I'm losing my fucking mind.
I think you are as well.
I'm teen yeti.
Just to take this opportunity quickly
If I may, Paul and Egon
To announce I am retiring
From the pop music world
Oh no
Following the allegations
And the leaving Melcgotten
And I am now going to be
Tiet A rap poet And I'll just going to be T-Yet, a rap poet.
And I'll just give you a little taste of...
T-Yet.
T-Yet, a rap poet, and I'll give you a little taste of what's to come.
Oh.
I extrapolate my jism out of my fur.
I go up the mountain and I purr.
And I say, yes, T-Yet is dead. And what you got instead is T-Yet. I extrapolate my jism out of my fur. I go up the mountain and I purr.
And I say,
yes,
Tignetti's dead.
And what you got instead of Tignette
are Tignettes.
I'll go back in.
Thanks.
Tignette,
look out for it
in the shops here.
Everybody,
take your Tignetti back.
Wow,
exclusive track there
from Tignette.
Bye, Tignetti.
I don't know,
Paul,
you insulted him
with your fucking
bullshit characters there.
Oh,
you need to get, I didn't, it's not a character. I didn't, who was that? It was some interignette. I don't know, Paul, you insulted him with your fucking bullshit characters there. Oh, you need to get...
It's not a character.
Who was that?
It was some interloper.
I didn't speak for him.
And then what,
some Richard Brandoff thing?
Yeah, Richard Brandoff came in.
No, he didn't.
He did.
You can't do my characters.
Oh, it's a character now.
I'm looking at you.
Paul, put it aside.
Yeah.
Let's pull back the curtain
here for a second, yeah?
Don't do my characters.
I'm telling you,
you do Jimmy Biscuits.
I'll let you do Jimmy Biscuits. I don't do Jimmy Biscuits. Go on, do it. I don't want to do Jimmy Bisc my characters. I'm telling you. You do Jimmy Biscuits. I'll let you do Jimmy Biscuits.
I don't do Jimmy Biscuits.
Go on, do it.
I don't want to do Jimmy Biscuits.
He's shit.
You can't do Jimmy Biscuits.
I can fucking do Jimmy Biscuits.
You can't do Jimmy Biscuits.
Hi, I'm Jimmy Biscuits.
Ruff, ruff, ruff.
Barbara!
It's Jimmy Biscuits.
Hi, I'm Jimmy Biscuits.
Hey, I used to be Koplinsky, but I...
Stop the car. I'm ashamed of my Jewish heritage.
Oh, you fucking cunt.
Fuck off.
Right.
Anyway, platters.
We look at Ryan and we find Jerry's shop.
Six minutes.
Fucking hell.
What do we start off with, Paul?
Let's start off with that.
Okay.
Yeah, because I think we can tie those two together thematically.
All right.
So three choices today.
This is an unusual
seven inch that I've
found.
It's funny.
It's not funny.
It is.
I thought it was funny.
This is an unusual
seven inch, Paul,
in that it looks like
a grain of rice
sitting on top of
a cricket ball,
a well-used cricket ball.
Well-worn balls.
But it's seven inches long, so it just looks small.
It's a big grain of rice.
Yeah.
It's a big, fat grain of rice.
More like a noodle.
More like a deep-sea woodlice thing.
Yeah, it's like a strand of...
Do you know those deep-sea woodlice things?
Yeah.
It's like that.
Yeah.
Well, that just put me off everything.
Right.
My dick's like an insect from underwater. It's a great track, that. Yeah. Well, that just put me off everything. Right. My dick's like an insect from underwater.
It's a great track, that.
This is...
I've never seen anything else on this label.
The label is Kef Records, and it has a symbol of a little fez.
Oh, that's nice, isn't it?
Unusual, yeah.
And it is Save Our Energy, brackets, That's What Simon Says.
Okay.
So let's listen to it. It's by a group. Yeah. That's what you says Okay So let's listen to it
It's by a group
Yeah
That's what you usually say
The group
Yeah
Called The Energizers
Right
So you can see
Energy Energizers
Right
Let's play a little bit of it
For you right now
I like to play a game that will help our cause
And it's not so very hard to do
The name of the game is Save Our Energy
And I like for you to play it too
Let's not use too much heat
That's what Simon said
Let us not drive too fast
That's what Simon said
Save our energy
So that it will last
Simple Simon says
Let us watch over you
So we don't blow up you Simon says
Simple Simon says
Let us watch over you
So we don't blow up you Simon says
Keep an eye on your speed That's what Simon says, let us watch over you. So we don't know what you sign. He says, keep an eye on your speed.
That's what Simon says.
Keep an eye on your heat.
That's what Simon says.
Save our energy.
That's what Simon says.
Use away what you need.
And there is an instrumental called Energy Rock.
On the beat.
By the Energizers as well.
Let's have a little bit of that as well, Paul. Thank you. Right.
So, tell us what you think it is.
I think it was commissioned by some kind of maybe government body.
A British one?
Energy department, definitely not British.
What year was this?
Oh, really?
What year is this?
The year is 74.
And it's an American release?
Because it sounds really cheesy in that British kind of holiday camp way.
Kef production produced by Elliot Chirprut.
Chirprut?
And it was written by Elliot Chirprut as well.
Okay.
Kef Records, but it has this sort of Middle East thing,
because the fez is an Egyptian hat, isn't it?
Yeah, but that doesn't mean anything.
You can stick a logo on anything.
It doesn't really mean anything.
I just think maybe it? Yeah, but that doesn't mean anything. You can stick a logo on anything. It doesn't really mean anything. I just think... Maybe it is American, but it seems
to be a novelty song
encouraging people to save
energy. Simon says
make sure you unplug your dishwasher.
Yeah, that's what he says. Don't use too much gas.
Turn your lights off when you leave your house.
Recycle your... R rinse your milk bottles out.
And I'll make
sure that you turn off the heater.
Simon Says. It's basically that Simon Says
song. Maybe go on a website to
compare the best energy prices.
You wouldn't have done it in 1970, would you?
You prick. I'm with
EDF.
What, the English National Defence League?
What are you doing? Are you racist? EDF, the, the English National Defence League? What are you doing?
Are you racist?
EDF, the French Energy Company.
English Defence League.
So, it's a strange novelty come public information.
I'm sure it's British.
It sounds British.
It sounds like... I think it's American.
You know that Black...
Okay, so Black Lace is a band we'll talk about soon.
And Black Lace is a very kind of cheesy novelty band
that do things like...
They did a cover of Simon Says.
You know that...
Oh, they did a cover of Simon Says.
So this is also...
Who wrote it originally then, Simon Says?
Do you know?
I don't know.
It was the Archies or something.
It was like...
Let me have a quick look on Das Internet.
It was like Jimmy James and the Shondells,
or it was...
It says here,
Farron Monch? That can't be right. Farron Monch. No, he'sondells or it was it says here Farron Monk
that can't be right
Farron Monk
no he's a
that's what it says
he's a rapper
oh yeah
so it's not
he's just got a song
called Simon Says
oh hang on
1910 Fruit Gun Company
yeah that's it
yeah
is a bubblegum pop song
written by Elliot Chiprut
originally recorded
in 1967
by the 1910
Fruit Gun Company
becoming their most successful chart hit
So it's his own song that he's reworked?
Yeah, the song was based on a children's game, Simon Says
Released by Budda Records
Entered the top 100 in January 1968, rose to number 4
This is six years later
Hit in the UK where it reached number 2
In Italy the song was covered by a group
Guiliano e ilottro Tunni.
So it's similar to the Popcorn song.
There are different groups in different parts
of the world. That will cover it and make it there.
And Black Lace have definitely done a cover of it.
And this is his own
cover, but he's used
his own song in the service
of saving energy.
What's the band called? The Energizers?
How do you spell that?
Energizers. The Energizers. How do you spell that? With a Z. Energizers.
It's an attractive label.
Nice blue.
Green.
Sorry.
Green and pink.
You can see photos on the website.
Obviously, Discogs is where it's gone to for this information.
Energizers.
What's it say?
Absolutely fucking nothing.
Yeah, it doesn't say nothing.
Although, it was a cover of it by Professor Trance and the Energizers in 96.
Weird.
Yeah.
Save our energy.
That's what Simon says.
Energy rock.
Kef records.
Yeah, that's it.
How much is it going for?
It is going for...
Look at the marketplace.
I'm going to look at the marketplace.
I'm going to fuck off.
£1.54.
Yeah, yeah.
Interesting.
Interesting. Interesting.
It's a bit like that one we saw a few episodes ago,
a fair few episodes ago, the gas company one.
Yes, because they were...
Regenerating.
That was a record to promote their regeneration of the city.
And you feel that this is...
It must be in the service of some government body,
the Energy Board or something.
Well, as Simon says, you've got to sell it to kids.
Yeah.
So you're just encouraging
teenagers to save energy.
It's a record
whose time has come.
It's a splatter
whose message
is just as
important these days
as ever, Paul.
Don't...
It's like, you know,
that Bruce Forsyth song,
I'm Backing Britain.
Oh, God.
Bruce Forsyth in the 70s
when Britain was going
through that economic downturn
and we had the three-day weeks
or whatever it was and all that stuff.
That was when the first European referendum was, 1704, wasn't it?
Yeah, we're going back to those days.
So he did a song, a promotional song, probably paid for by the government,
saying, back Britain, cut down on your expenditure and be,
it's like, I'm back in Britain.
He's trying to encourage people to save money.
We're all in it together.
Yeah. Heard that before encourage people to save money. We're all in it together. Yeah.
Heard that before.
Massive promotional thing.
Meanwhile, Bruce, he's singing this and taking a massive fucking paycheck
and using it to find somewhere to take his wife.
Oh, that brings us to, Paul.
Yeah.
The issue of Michael Jackson.
Little Tales from the Dance Floor.
Let's get it out of the way.
I was
I DJ yes
yeah
so I usually
the promoter will
get drunk
well yes but
act unprofessionally
and risk your job
every now and then
no I don't
what are you talking about
don't make that look at me
I'm just going to send you
an email you're like
can you not piss in the bins
right outside
right outside the venue
can we not have our DJ
walk off the stage
just pop outside the door and take a piss have our DJ walk off the stage,
just pop outside the door,
and take a piss in full view of everyone else going outside for a smoke?
One person who used to work there,
he used to just piss in a glass
and leave it behind the deck
for people to take.
Wow, great.
Clean up, see?
Okay, so I'm not that bad.
And I don't ever piss by the bins anymore.
Okay?
That was several years ago.
Anyway. Alright. I'm just saying just saying so the promoter will check that i'm still confirmed for that weekend you know just a little a little you still on for friday
yeah great great all good for friday he says but this week there was a little bit of extra
oh an addendum extra uh information oh by the way eli, Eli, I wouldn't play
any MJ this weekend.
Oh.
I replied.
It was like the night after it was shown on TV.
Okay, because the Channel 4 documentary found in Everland
about the two boys who were molested.
Allegedly molested by Michael Jackson.
And then I said, well, I only play Jackson 5.
Yeah. And he said, no, I wouldn't play
that anymore either
but and that just makes
me think it's all
very grey area all of this isn't it
because people will what if
it turned out that
like a song like
happy birthday to you
yeah like some piece of historical
information some bedded in piece
of pop culture no some piece of historical information about the writers of that song came out and they were child rapists.
Okay.
Murderers.
Right.
Would we?
Would we stop listening to Happy Birthday to You?
Would it stop being used as a song?
It's the age.
Would it, Paul?
No, but here's the thing.
It's the age old argument of artist versus output.
It's like Lovecraft.
No, but I'm not even like Lovecraft.
But he was a huge racist.
But he's a massive fucking racist
and didn't make that too unsubtle
in his books sometimes, you know?
So my theory is,
no, you've got to retain it
and keep it in context.
So we talked about this
before the podcast,
like Huckleberry Finn, I think it is,
or was it Tom Sawyer,
where there's the character
N-word Jim or whatever it is,
the black character.
And they said,
we need to get rid of the N-word
from any future copies
because we can't have kids reading it.
It's like, no, you have to
because you need to tell these kids
why the word was used
and the context
and why you shouldn't use it
and why it's used by this character
in the show, in the book.
Well, it's like Steven Spielberg
going back and trying to take
all the guns and the cigarettes
out of E.T.
Which he then instantly regretted,
apparently.
Yeah, because it's stupid.
Because that whole revisionist thing
doesn't necessarily solve the problem.
In fact, sometimes it can bury it.
Yeah, but it's a different point
you're making
because you're talking about
things that are actually referenced
in the work itself
which are no longer acceptable
or like the N-word.
No, true.
Right, but we're not talking about that.
Michael Jackson never says
ee-ee-ee
shag the kid, does he?
He doesn't know.
He never does.
He never sings that.
I didn't listen to All the Dangerous.
There might have been a lyric in there. He doesn't sing that. Ben. Good. I put you up up up says he shag the kid does he don't know he never does he never sings all the dangerous there might
have been a lyric in there doesn't sing that ben good i put you up go on go on i reckon he did he
did things with that rat right great all right anyway so ben i back you up and put you in here's
the thing ben you die and it gets me off I honestly believe it is up
to the presenters of the radio shows
and the thing to decide if they want to have it on their playlist
I do believe there is a choice to be
said in the matter all I'm saying
is if they really want to stick it to the Michael
Jackson estate you can still benefit from
music being played why not say because of
the allegations because of this that and the other
all the royalties from any songs go to a
charity and that's like giving a get out for people to enjoy the
music made by a molester it's such a weird way when you put it like that though because it's
true i mean again alleged alleged but he did it but but poor but poor this is what i mean there's
a real gray area when it comes to the authorship of art in the first place. For example, the Jackson 5 thing.
Yeah.
You can argue...
Did he write any of those songs?
No.
Okay.
I don't know.
That's what I mean.
He is just the lead singer
on that single,
like I Want You Back.
Yeah.
He's not the only singer on it.
No.
He doesn't play any
of the instruments on it.
No.
He did not write the song.
He did not produce the song.
He didn't...
You know what I mean?
So why is that now?
That's out of bounds as well.
But then this is the thing.
It's like the Simpsons episode being dropped
with Michael Jackson voiced, you know?
And people forget he also wrote Do The Bartman.
And when that gets out,
is that going to be the next casualty to pop culture history?
It's all very, it's no,
you can't say a blanket thing about whether you should
or shouldn't listen to the stuff.
It's like, well, here's the thing though.
What about Mozart?
He did some bad shit, didn't he? Or could have. Do you see what I mean? What if it was a composer? Do you not ever listen to the stuff. Well, here's the thing, though. What about Mozart? He did some bad shit, didn't he?
Or could have.
Do you see what I mean?
What if it was a composer?
Do you not ever listen to the compositions?
You know?
And where does it start?
Where does it end?
Where does it stop?
John Lennon beat his wife numerously.
To a pulp, apparently.
Not to a literal pulp.
No.
Well, he wasn't the nicest person.
I never can recognise the man along with the music.
It seems like he said one thing and did another.
That's my personal preference.
Anyway, I'm happy
not to play Michael Jackson
because I'm fucking sick
and tired of the two
Michael Jackson tunes.
ABC and I Want You Back.
Fucking hell, God.
I mean, maybe.
Look, as I say,
I don't think you can get rid
of stuff like that,
but I think you have to
put it into context.
It's like Gary Glitter.
So many sports stadiums
in America played,
you know, like,
come on, come on,
whatever it's fucking called.
I'm the leader.
Yeah, all that stuff.
And then he's a massive horrible, horrible and confirmed nonce.
Yeah, terrible man.
Again, you can't play stuff on the radio.
But it seems easier to say that for his music because it seems like it's more throwaway.
Yes.
But that's what I mean.
It's unprecedented in that Michael Jackson isn't just like a very popular musician.
He was a huge cultural phenomenon.
Yeah.
The likes of which we haven't even seen anyone that big.
Yeah, the last podcast said recently,
they did a little thing about the documentary,
and they said he was the last of the celebrities,
the proper celebrities,
the untouchable, unknowable celebrity.
Because back in the day,
he was like, oh, I never knew Humphrey Bogart,
or I never knew Clark Gable and Hitchcock, because they were so big and big characters. But now it's like, oh, I never knew Humphrey Bogart. I never knew Clark Gable and Hitchcock.
Because they were so big and big characters.
But now it's like, oh, I'll just tweet Stephen Fry and call him a cunt.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's that kind of thing.
So that's Bled.
So he's the last of a kind.
But he was a huge cultural phenomenon.
He was the king of pop.
He was the biggest pop star ever.
One of the biggest albums of all time.
So it's strange that we're just going to, what, excise his whole body of work from...
It's not as easy.
Gary Glitter was big in the 70s for a couple of years
and had a couple of three, four big numbers.
Do you know what I mean?
But no one gives a shit.
And it's like Savile.
In fact, all the people that sold shit with Utrecht,
it's like you exercise all those TV shows,
you exercise all that radio broad.
But there's no argument.
No one would say Savile was a great artist.
No, because he fucking wasn't.
And he was a fucking hot monster.
He did.
I would just like,
I just wanted to bring that up.
The point being is that,
do you know what this mic smells
from quite mildewy?
It reminds me.
Michael Jackson,
basically in one word,
plays music or
banners music.
I have no opinion
one way or the other,
but I'm happy not to play it.
Fine.
If I'm asked to, you know.
But you can always play it in your own time.
I'm not like, you know, fight the power.
I'm going to play Michael Jackson even though I was asked not to.
This is the hill I die on.
You know what I mean?
Fucking thriller.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm happy not to.
Halloween has one less song to enjoy now this year.
It certainly does.
But here's an idea.
How about we just get all the bands to cover all the songs
and then re-release them?
And then you can just listen to those.
Well, that's exactly my point. It's like get other bands to cover all the songs and then re-release them? And then you can just listen to those.
Well, that's exactly my point.
It's like, where is the moral value of that song?
Where are you sinning?
You can't play beat anymore.
By listening to his version of Thriller?
Or someone who's re-recorded the song
and they're benefiting from it?
And also, didn't he do We Are The World? What do you do?
What do you do? Port McCartney's gonna
be angry. Why? That song you did
with Michael Jackson. Can't do that anymore, can you?
The girl is mine. And the other one.
Ebony.
No, that was with Stevie Wonder, you racist.
What's the next two songs?
Right. Talking of replacing
Michael Jackson's Thriller with a
new Halloween horror classic.
Horror classic.
It's Orville's song by Keith Harris and Orville.
Now, this is something that I remember quite clearly.
And it is dog shit.
It's saccharine to the point of...
Well, here's the thing.
This is the period in British history where any celebrity, any light entertainer could probably use the song and have a half-decent hit with it.
Yeah.
So,
it kind of,
this isn't an anomaly.
This was set up by songs
like Grandad We Love You
by the St. Winifred Girls
voice choir,
which had the actor in
from Dad's Army
playing the granddad role
in the video.
Yeah.
And then there was
something else
I can't remember right now,
but those saccharine
child-friendly vinyl
almost the novelty hit.
They're novelty hits.
Leads to Orville's song.
This is a novelty song.
So before we play it
because I think it needs context
for those who don't know
who Keith Harris and Orville is
Keith Harris is
a ventriloquist.
And he has a puppet
that's a green
a disgustingly kind of
pea green duck baby
with a bow tie puppet.
It is a duckling.
Yeah.
Duckling is the word for that.
Duck baby is a duckling, Paul.
And he goes, oh.
And what do you call a shop where you get pharmaceuticals?
Duckling shop.
So Allville is the name of the duck.
Keith Harris is the name of the puppeteer.
And the idea is their whole act is he goes oh he's very gentle
and he's a very
he's a baby duck
isn't he
oh don't you like me
yeah he's insecure
what a horrible
fucking idea
for a character
anyway
he's an insecure baby duck
it all led
because it was a successful
kids TV show
and a live act as well
you know he obviously
did the work in men's clubs
what was the format
of the TV show
just come out
and have a conversation
with Orville.
Again, a kid's show.
Yeah, sketches.
But he had another character.
Well, let's just get
this out of the way.
So, with all that said,
the success of his TV show
led to this single
and this is that single.
I'm sorry.
I wish I could fly
way up to the sky
but I can't.
You can?
I can't.
I wish I could see what folks see in me but I can't you can i can't i wish i could see what folks see in me but i can't you can i can't
nothing that you can say we change how i feel today i know that we're never apart now hear what i'm saying oh who is your very best friend
i'm gonna help you
your broken heart thank you i wish that i had a mummy and dad, but I don't.
You don't?
I don't.
Makes me want to pull out my fucking ears.
Let's have a bit of the B-side as well, Paul.
No, can we just talk about the A-side?
Let's have a bit of the B-side.
Just for a little bit first.
Let's have a bit of the B-side.
Come on.
We will.
No, don't click your fingers.
That's what I do.
Come on. You need to take a don't click your fingers. That's what I do. Come on.
You need to take a part.
Can I just say as well,
pictures on the website,
of course, yeah.
It looks like he's got
some kind of disease
where his cheeks are very,
they look like bollocks.
Yeah, jaundice or something.
Yeah.
Not jaundice.
That's when you turn yellow.
They were bollocks
because that's where he puts
his meat and junk in
every night after a show.
His cheeks look like gonads.
Yeah, orvilles.
Yeah, he's very jowly. It's not just jowl. It cheeks look like gonads. Yeah, Orville's.
Yeah, he's very jowly.
It's not just jowl, it's a big ball shape.
Yeah, it's a great big round ball with cheeks.
Now, that song is appalling because it trades on the aren't we family friendly and isn't it lovely?
And the character of Orville in the song is fucking pathetic.
It just won't fly.
I wish I could fly right up to the sky, but I can't.
You can.
No, I can't.
No, you actually physically can.
Oh, I can't.
You know what I mean?
A couple of years of living with that.
Yeah, just be like, fuck it, I don't want to hear it, Paulville.
Mate, fucking...
I don't want to hear it.
You can.
You've been to the doctor.
He's checked your wings.
Oh.
You can fly.
I can't.
You can.
I can't.
No, but you actually can.
I can't.
All right, I'm fucking chucking you out the top of this building. Oh. Come with me. No, I think I can. I've got you by the neck. I think I can. I can. No, but you actually can. I can. All right, I'm fucking chucking you out the top of this building.
Oh.
Come with me.
No, I think I can.
I've got you by the neck.
I think I can.
Yeah, you fucking can, you.
Can you?
Oh, he couldn't.
No, he couldn't.
All right, couldn't fly.
It's just that character's so awful.
It's sickly sweet.
And then it's like he's playing,
it's like an attention seeker.
It's like, no one loves me.
And then he has to sing the part.
He goes, Orville, who is your very best friend?
You are.
Yeah.
I'm going to help you mend that broken arse.
Heart.
Heart.
I didn't say arse
Oh, their children are from
What?
They are
It's exactly the same
Little
Gimmick
As the Grandad We Love You song
Because look
On the B side
Keith, Harrison, Orville
I didn't
Yeah, which we'll play in a minute
Don't worry, we'll get there It's Keith Because the A side is just Keith, Harrison and Orville I didn't. Yeah, which we'll play in a minute, don't worry, we'll get there.
Because the A side's just Keith Harris and Orville
but the B side is
Keith Harris and Orville
with the children from
Alfarthing Primary School, Wandsworth.
Can you imagine the day
when the headmaster came in
and went, alright school, settle down,
we've got a big announcement today,
you're going to be
on a pop record
oh
and you're going to be successful
and we're going to get
all the choir to sing around
but who is it
is it Michael Jackson
no
no
no
is it Gary Glitter
no
Jonathan King
no
oh is it
is it
anyone else
no
is it
is it
Transmission Van no it's Keith Harrison it... Is it Transmission Fam?
No, it's Keith Harrison.
I fancy her from Transmission Fam.
I really fancy her.
You're 10.
I really...
Well, I'm a man.
No, you're not a man.
It's a girls' school anyway, isn't it?
I don't know what I'm doing here.
What are you doing?
What's gone?
What's going on?
I just fancy her out of Transmission Fam.
Why are you...
You're a 40-year-old man.
Get out of here.
Sorry.
Get out.
You've got a beard. Alright, bye.
So, the point I'm trying to make
is, it's just such an insipid
character. Such a horrible thing.
Lyrics are horrible. Terrible.
The B-side.
I didn't. It sounds like this.
Who
will we
love?
Please don't fly away. Ooh, Bill, we love you, and we want you to stay.
I get very shy. I feel very lonely. Oh, I wish I could fly. I once met. Honestly, I didn't.
I would have done.
And I could have done, yeah.
But I didn't.
No, I didn't.
I get upset sometimes. No, I think, by by a margin it's better.
It's a better song.
Why?
Do you like the choir?
No, it's just a little less fucking awful to listen to.
Yeah, it's a little less annoying.
Hang on.
I need to find the lyrics to this.
82 this record is from.
1982.
That's about right.
I didn't lyrics.
Oh.
this record is from 1982
that's about right
I didn't
lyrics
Orville
oh
what
what
this article
that came up
by accident
when I was
just scrolling
through
Daily Mail
Keith Harris
loved all the
duck more
than his wife
oh god
oh no
they've only got
Orville's lyrics.
Oh, I wish I could fly.
Fuck it, then.
Fuck it.
Anyway, it's abysmal.
I used to amuse me when I was younger, Paul,
to think of this and think of him saying,
instead of I wish I could fly, something like,
I've done a big poo up in my pants and it's dripping.
No, you didn't.
Yes, I did.
Oh, yeah, watch it.
I've shat out my coaca.
Who is your very best friend?
Not you.
Fuck off.
That's over.
Yeah.
Anyway.
And he had another character.
What was his other character called, Paul?
Monkey.
Bob the Monkey?
Chuckles?
Chuckles.
Was it Chuckles?
I think it was.
And he was a bit more surly, wasn't he, Chuckles?
And he hated the duck.
I ate that duck.
That's basically what he said.
And he was a naughty ginger monkey thing.
Like those cheap monkey puppets you could buy.
It was kind of like that, but with a face that did a whole gurning thing with its eyes.
It crossed its eyes.
And he was better than Orville, though, wasn't he?
I remember watching the TV show and thinking,
thank God the fucking monkey's on, because Orville was doing my nothing.
But I kind of wonder
if that monkey was his way
of expressing his hatred
for his own creation.
Probably.
Because there's a song
on the album
that this comes from
called,
I think it's something like
Keith Harris Over the Rainbow
or something awful like that.
So it's not,
Orville isn't
one of the authors of the album,
it's just Keith Harris,
is it?
I think it's Keith Harris
and Orville's Over the Rainbow.
It's some awful title like that. There's a track on it called I Ate That Duck and it's like Keith Harris. I think it's Keith Harris and Orville's Over the Rainbow. It's some Orville title like that.
There's a track on it
called I Ate That Duck
and it's like
Oh I ate that duck
he gets on me nerves
I want to strangle him
with a punch him in the face
and you think
is that monkey talking
or is that Keith talking?
Because Keith had a bit
of a falling out
with Orville backstage
and he goes
I'm going to get
going to get chuckles out
working out on stage
my aggression.
It's my turn and he goes, I'm going to get chuckles out working out on stage my aggression. Now, who's the other guy? sing this song and that duck and I just do not get along. Ripper!
Ripper!
Oh, he's cracking up.
Now, who was the other guy
with Spit the Dog?
All right, that was Bob Carol, geez.
Who married Cilla Black?
No, I don't believe he did.
I thought he did.
No, I don't think he did.
She had a husband called Bobby.
Yeah, wasn't he Bob Carol, geez?
No.
No.
They're all dead.
God, I have to believe him. Thanks, man. No, he's dead. Keith Harris is dead as well, isn't he Bob Carolgees? No. They're all dead. God, I have to believe you.
Keith Harris is dead as well, isn't he? Yeah.
Yeah. Orville is.
Do you think Orville popped up at his
funeral? I wish you weren't dead
but you are.
I'm not.
I faked my death so I couldn't stop doing you.
Oh.
Right, that's all very in very poor taste.
So, you think I've all come out with industry
secrets one day? Harris was
constantly putting his arm up my arse.
And then...
That's a bad joke. It's a bad joke.
Let's go on to our third and final platter
today. And for our third
platter here on the Splatter Platters today,
Paul, not the voice of Richard Brownoff
at all, it's me, DJ Brownoff at all. It's me,
DJ Eli.
DJ Eli. It's funny how new
characters you create and I hate them all.
Oh, you can shut up, Paul. After the news,
DJ Eli.
And now
on the Splatter Platter of the hour.
Fucking hell.
Coming.
Just fucking read it out.
Coming up on the hour From Splatterplatters
Silverman's Platters
Oh god this drone's on
Girls get in free all night
It's Swap Shop
From the BBC TV series
Swap Shop
We've got two BBC ones
Orville's song is BBC record
You got that character fucking quick
No we're into the segment now
He was just introducing the segment.
Never do it again. Never do that. I'm going to do it now.
Do it again. I'm just about to do it. What's going to happen if it happens?
What's going to happen if it happens?
I don't know. You tell me.
You tell me.
Show don't tell. You tell me.
Come on.
Silverman's bladders. Fuck off.
Come on, Paul. Shut up.
Seriously, I will punch you. No, who cares?
I care.
Just stop it.
We've eaten in two minutes over this.
I'll give you a fucking punch.
No.
I ate that duck.
Look, Paul, this is another single on the BBC Records label that Harris also,
because I believe he was in the arms of BBC at that time.
Keith Harris was on the BBC.
Yeah.
And so was this programme, Paul.
Swap Shop.
So here's the next song.
It's called...
Well, it's not Swap Shop.
It is from Swap Shop,
but the single's not called Swap Shop.
It's called
I Wanna Be A Winner
forward slash
hello, hello
bracket
Swap Shop.
That's the B-side.
What's wrong with you?
What's that?
I don't know.
The song is called I Want To Be A Winner,
and the band is called Brown Sauce.
The B-side is the Swap Shop theme.
Oh, I see.
Sorry.
It's quite confusing, the formatting on the end.
Yeah.
No, I agree.
An idiot like you can't understand that.
And it has a picture of the Swap Shop band.
Of the Brown sauce band.
And they weren't a real band, were they, Paul?
No, they were drummed up for a TV show,
Saturday Morning Kids show called Swap Shop.
And let's hear a bit of it right now. Don't want to dance like Fred Steele
Be like Superman through the air
Don't want to join Claire Francis in the Riggins.
Pop the black with
Hurricane Higgins.
Don't want to ride like
Willie Carson.
Be a bishop or an important parson.
Don't want to hit Jeff
up the floor.
Knock my hammer daddy on the floor.
I just want to be a winner.
Just a little Oscar please. I just want to be a winner. Or a possible beast. I just want to be a win. See one, feel one, touch one. See one, feel one, winner of the world.
Awful, gash, gash awful.
It's like I was saying to you, it's a bit glam,
but the glam that's filtered down as it got distilled for the 70s.
It is a glam rock, sort of glam rock style composition.
But the family-friendly Saturday morning version of it.
Which is, and this is sort of early 80s as well, isn't it?
What year?
Does it have the year on?
81.
81, the year before Orville.
Just.
Now, I collect BBC records, singles, but not these kind.
Why not?
Because it's not very good.
It's not good to listen to.
I like stuff that has the radio phonic orchestra on.
Okay, and the TV theme stuff.
Or obscure TV theme stuff.
Or stuff that came out on Netflix.
Airport.
Airport, was it?
That's not on the BBC, no.
But I have that one, Gangsters, which was a BBC, on a label called Beeb, The Beeb.
They also, the BBC had a sub-label
called The Beeb
or Beeb
that was the least music
yeah
oh okay
I did not know that
I've got a couple on it
maybe we could discuss those ones
I wonder who invented the word Beeb
to talk about the BBC
well it's just because
it's just because
Beeb
Beeb
Sea
I wonder how it was first coined
how it became Beeb
way back then
they did have a label
with a B
anyway
this is on that label as well, which I love.
And there was a book out listing every single seven-inch single released on the BBC records.
Oh, wow.
And that would have been included, like, in your record?
Of course, yeah.
So, there's a lot of shit ones like this.
But the reason why we like it so much, and the reason why we find it such a beautiful find in a charity shop in Finchley Road in London,
was that Band consists of the hosts of Swap Shop, which were
Maggie Philbin,
Keith Chegwin,
and Noel Edmonds.
The Edmonds, the Edmonds, the Edmonds.
In fact, if you listen to the chorus again, you can hear him say,
I wanna be.
He says that bit, I wanna be.
He does the baritone, the bass singing.
I've got some facts on the song.
Would you like to hear them?
Sure.
Brown Sauce, pop band, because they thought it was funny, Brown Sauce. Why is got some facts on the song. Would you like to hear them? Sure. Brown Sauce, pop band,
because they thought it was funny,
Brown Sauce.
Why is that funny?
It's not.
That's not my point.
It's not funny.
It's not funny.
Brown Sauce is a pop band
made up of presenters
from the television show
The Multicoloured Swap Shop.
Now, just for a bit of clarification,
Saturday morning TV show,
popular at the BBC
to do those things in the morning,
kids TV.
It was basically a kind of thing
where chaps would interview celebrities,
cartoons,
and also kids could swap items with other people watching the show.
And it went on for hours.
I've got a rally bike I want to swap
for a board game with Cluedo.
I've got 700 shows of Escort
in the back of a van.
I've got a carpet sweeper.
I'd like to swap it
for a pair of satin red knickers.
It is magic.
It's magic.
It's got a donkey in it.
Anyway, these were Keith Cheggman, Maggie Philbin and Noel Edmonds.
They formed for a one-off single in late 1980.
This is it.
Yeah, called I Wanna Be A Winner.
Late 1980.
And it became a big hit.
And they released a second in 1982, but it failed to make an impact. Oh, we need to get that. What was their second single called? I'll get to it in a big hit and they released a second in 1982 but it failed to make an impact
oh we need to get that
what was their second single called?
I'll get to it in a second
one sec
so
the show was running from 78
81 they released a song
meant to be a novelty
written by B.A. Robertson
he
is a name
because he's written
a couple of other songs
he's written for ABBA
one or two songs for ABBA
but the one you might recognise
that he co-wrote
was The Living Years
by Mike and the Mechanics.
Ah.
Play it loud.
Play it clear.
That one.
It's about,
which is about your dad dying.
Fun times.
Isn't it?
Yeah.
So he wrote that,
co-wrote that song.
And he definitely,
I've been in charity shops
and I've seen singles
by B.A. Robertson.
Oh, really?
He released his own pop singles.
Yeah, he was an actor as well.
He also released his own music
and he wrote for other bands
and things like that.
The song got to number 15
in the singles chart in 82.
January 82.
Which doesn't sound a lot,
but would probably...
Back then,
would make quite a lot of money, yeah.
If you broke the top 40 back then,
that was a big deal.
You made some money, yeah.
The song remained on the UK charts
for 12 weeks.
Hanging around like a bad fart.
In the song, they mention people like Princess Diana, Barbara Woodhouse, Kevin Keegan, Frank Boff.
Frank Boff's the guy we're going to have to cover at some point, along with David Icke.
Sports presenters who have fallen from grace.
Yeah, but at least Icke's still got a career.
True.
Boff's dead.
Anyway, hang on, I haven't finished reading this.
The song was performed by Chegwin and Philbin, who
jointly shared the lead vocals, but they could
neither play any instruments.
Which is a lie on the cover. As you'll
see, if you look on the pictures on our website...
The video depicted them playing guitars
with Edmonds on drums. Edmonds on
drums. Edmonds on drums.
And the B-side was called Hello Hello, which is the
theme tune to the TV show. The
follow-up was released in March 82 under the new name of the band, The Sources.
This time, Edmonds.
As in The Sources.
Yes.
Right, so there's a continuity there.
Yeah.
So they had a song called Spring Has Sprung in 82.
We need a copy of that.
The band was formed without Edmonds.
Edmonds was left out in the cold.
It's like, come on, next single, next single, come on.
Oh, well, I don't know where the direction would go with it. can you imagine that Edmonds was left out in the cold it's like come on next single next single come on oh well
I don't know
where the direction
would go in
it doesn't really
involve a
mad cunt
like you
yeah you know
you didn't even
fake play the drums well
he really doesn't
look on this picture
on the cover
he's like
but you know
they made the song
super simple
so they could at least
get away with miming it
the drum beat to that
it is super simple
it's just
I just had one more point
about the glam thing
yeah
as we were saying earlier
Paul
it's like
they were so out of date
with what was current
that they still thought
like glam rock
was still a sort of
popular format
yeah
a popular
genre of music
by that time
it was more acceptable
it was more family friendly
by that time
which is what happens
to all sort of edgy...
Yeah, like punk.
Punk becomes...
Yeah.
Punk sold out.
Totally, yeah.
You know,
but it becomes...
Not universally, but...
It happens in later years.
It becomes advert music.
Yeah.
It becomes TV music.
Like when you hear
drum and bass advertising
DHS couches or whatever.
Or dubstep.
Yeah.
You get dubstep
advertising DFS.
Boom.
Wub, wub, wub.
Wub, wub, wub, wub, wub, wub, wub, wub, wub, wub, wub, wub, wub.
50% sale.
Wub, wub, wub, wub, wub, wub, wub, wub, wub, wub, wub.
Buy now, pay later.
Buy now, pay later.
Buy now, pay later.
Wub, wub, wub, wub, wub, wub, wub, wub, wub, wub, wub, wub.
So it's interesting to me because the height of glam rock and that sound with bands like
Mud, The Sweet and Slade yeah
would have been 73
73, 74
which is like
almost 10 years
before this came out
and this is like
Diet Sweet
yeah
because it's got
the first few seconds
you think
let's go write this
it's got a nice
kind of bassy
kind of
then they start singing
and you think
oh it's Gash
yeah they don't sing
very well
they're not good singers
but
but Chegwin apparently
was in a few bands in the 70s hee hee I can kinda sing why don't sing very well. They're not good singers. But Chegwin apparently was in a few bands in the 70s.
Hee hee!
I can kind of sing!
Why don't I?
No.
Why don't I sing with Maggie?
Don't sing with Maggie.
Were they married at that time, Maggie Philbin and Keith Chegwin?
I don't know.
I didn't know they were an item.
But they were like a cut.
We've mentioned this, but they are like a second rate Mike Smith and Sarah Green.
Sarah Green.
Or a cut price Richard and Judy.
Richard and Judy.
Richard and Judy were nowhere then.
No.
They would have been nowhere.
They were a blip on the Manchester news reporting scene.
So are we going to listen to a bit of the...
We've played it a bit, haven't we, already?
We've only played one.
Are we going to have a bit of the...
Well, let's play the B-side, which is the theme.
Which is the actual theme.
If I haven't played it yet...
Here it is. I'll find a place to cut it in earlier.
So I've done it already.
I don't know.
I'm confused by time now. Paul, dates.
They're the numbers that we put in front of days.
Winky.
It's a winky.
No.
Winky.
Winky.
Winky.
Can I just say about Winky?
There will be a big reveal of the English language version of Winky.
And it will be on a very special episode.
That's all I'm going to say.
That's coming up.
Okay, good.
April.
Thanks for listening, everybody.
Thank you for listening and supporting the Tuesday podcast. so now we're doing Silverman's Platters,
which is where Winky arrived,
but we're going to have part of the actual theme tune
to the Swap Shop.
And also, this is late in the Swap Shop's run
because they've dropped the multicoloured bit
and it is just Swap Shop.
Racist.
Stop picking your nose.
A big bogey came out by accident.
And you call me disgusting.
Here, have my snot vest.
Oh, he's eating it.
He's eating it, ladies and gentlemen.
He didn't want the snot vest.
Snot till it leaks all on your face.
Wipe it down with your clothes.
And so there's a bit of the flip side, which is the theme.
And that is a very poor sort of disco calypso with a steel drum synth mask thing.
And the thing is, you listen to it and it's obviously bedding music.
It's music you talk over.
Once the big theme drops, you just go, coming up on the show today. And it has a bit, quite a nice bit of electric guitar.
It's your favourite bit.
That's my favourite bit of the song.
And you've got the...
Paid a pound for it, didn't I?
50p.
50p, not bad.
I also bought Dennis Waterman's
I Could Be So Good For You.
Just because you wanted a copy.
I wanted a copy.
We've covered that on the show.
So, it's not a very good record, Dan.
Well, here's the thing.
We used to rate them in the past.
Now we're just going to rip off Red Letter Media.
What's the best of the three that we've got?
Well, we haven't done the third one.
Oh, yes, we have.
Yeah, we have.
What's the best as in what?
Out of the three.
Out of the three.
That I'd like to listen to?
Yeah.
But what do you think is the best.
I've played this on my radio show, on Soho Radio.
Oh.
Two till four, every two Sundays.
The House of Pickles sound show.
Every other Sunday.
With myself, Eli Silverman, and you and the Bruce.
It's not that good.
Shut up, Paul.
Great music, but their banter's fucking painful.
Shut up, Paul.
Right.
Oh, there's only one needle.
Paul's having a shit. You really was in that, didn't you. Oh, there's only one needle. Paul's having a shit.
You really
was in that, didn't you? Yeah, I do.
You've cross-moiled me, basically.
Sorry.
The drumming on the Energizer is actually pretty funky.
It's pretty good. Musically, I think
that's the best quality. I hate the song. The B-side
is probably the best part of all of it.
It's quite good, the B-side. Although, if we're going to
do it that way, then I would say the B-Side of Swap Shop's probably
the next best thing I'd listen to.
I basically agree with you on that choice.
Of the best of those three choices,
that's the one I'm going to go for.
Musically, the Energizers is definitely the best.
Most satisfying as a song.
So which one do we destroy?
We could destroy Orville.
Yeah, we fucking destroy Orville.
He's so nasty.
I hate it.
It's so sickly.
It's creepy. It makes me feel creepy and wrong for I hate it. It's so sickly. It's creepy.
It makes me feel creepy and wrong for listening to it.
It feels insincere as well, which is the worst thing.
Obviously, it's hard to be sincere when half the singing duo is a fucking green duck with a baby's voice.
And cheeks for bollocks.
Bollocks for cheeks.
Bollock cheeks.
Bollock-cheeked duck bitch.
Imagine that coming for you in the middle of the night.
You're just lying there in the bed and you see Orville.
I wish I could gobble your knob off in your sleep, but I can't.
Who stabbed Keith Harris?
Did you do it, Orville?
I didn't.
There.
I ate that duck.
Yeah.
So that's Silverman's Platters.
It's hard to live up to, Winky.
Oh, I've just fantasised a version of Columbo,
where Columbo's played by Chuckles the monkey
and the murderer is Orville
and Chuckles is hounding him the whole episode.
Just one more thing.
What would you...
What?
I wish I could fly.
I hate that.
Just one more thing, madam.
Ah, yes, that's right.
Would you like me to light your...
Oh, the light is what you killed him with.
I saw it.
Oh, no.
We were looking for that
and it looks exactly like the murder weapon.
I think I can fly out of here.
Shoot that duck.
Bang.
I could fly, but I couldn't.
And now I'm dead.
You've ruined the bit.
I've ruined what bit?
When he says just one more thing.
This segment.
I've ruined this segment.
You've ruined this segment.
You've ruined this show.
Right, good.
You've ruined the whole show.
On that bombshell. Don think you've ruined this segment. You've ruined this show. Right, good. You've ruined the whole show. On that bombshell.
Don't say that.
Next section.
Ladies and gentlemen,
oh, it's exciting.
It's Ganon's golden games.
Games, golden games, golden games.
I love this part of the podcast.
This is the part of the podcast
where I've gone through it to a charity shop,
found a board game game a Thor.
That's a lot of fun.
Let's play that.
Ganon's Golden Games.
Don't you do it.
It's Ganon's Golden Games.
Right, this stops because it's just annoying me and I don't want it.
And you will stop it because Ganon's Golden Games is a beautiful part of the show
and one that I think shouldn't be besmirched.
I totally agree, Paul.
It's Ganon's Golden Games.
You're twat sometimes.
I'm just trying.
Look, I'm setting a timer.
Oh, I've done for two seconds now.
For Ganon's Golden Games.
Ladies and gentlemen.
How long have we got to play?
Fuck off.
Ganon's Golden Games.
Well, today we are playing a game called Ganon's Golden Games.
You can't punch me though, can you?
You can't punch me though. Because there's a board between us.on's Golden Game! You can't punch me, though, can you? You can't punch me, though.
Because there's a board between us.
There's a board between us.
There's a board between us.
Now, Paul, this is a new game, isn't it?
No, it's quite old, this one.
Is it really?
I think it's...
What's the copyright say on this?
Because I...
It doesn't say.
My friend who works in games,
he works for a poker website,
has got a lot of interest in games.
He did a deal with a friend of his son's that he'd buy it for them for Christmas
and vice versa, this game, because they wanted it.
The kids wanted it.
It's a great game.
Why would they want this game?
Have I said what the game is yet, what we're playing?
No.
Ganon's Golden Games!
Today on Ganon's Golden Games Games I went to a charity shop
and bought a game
that I've seen on sale
in this condition
because this was mint
mint on card
like 25 quid
they were in the cards
but it's still in the cards
I got it for 3 quid
mint
3 quid
and how much does it retail for
like 25
I literally just fucking said
Ganon's Golden Games
that's because
that's why you didn't
fucking listen
because you keep doing
your fucking little thing
you nasty dirty every time scrubby little scouring pad of a human being.
You are going to be responsible directly for my death,
just so you know.
No, this game is not new.
It's not new.
I don't know the exact date.
I could look it up, but I'm not going to.
You think it's, what, 20 years old?
At least.
Do you know why I know?
Why?
Game Boy. You could get Scotland Yard for the exact date. I could look it up. You think it's, what, 20 years old? At least. Do you know why I know? Why? Game Boy.
You could get Scotland Yard for the Game Boy.
Aha.
So at least 1989 it's been out since.
Yes, and Scotland Yard is quite,
itself is no longer where the headquarters
of the Metropolitan Police are,
or they're moving or whatever.
So it's sort of,
they wouldn't have called it
if it came out very recently.
They probably wouldn't have used that term.
No.
It's called Scotland that term no it's
called scotland yard because it's a police chasing game the basic gist of the game is one of us is a
criminal on the run and the other plays the detectives and the police chasing down that
criminal so it's um asymmetric in terms of fucking asymmetric it is asymmetric you made a big point
of this before we started recording like blockbuster it is it asymmetrical it's asymmetrical what context are you using
as in
like
like blockbusters
where you'd had
two versus one
it's uneven
yeah
that's what asymmetrical
yeah but the person
who's on the back foot
gets the advantage
of not being able
to be seen on the board
to move
and like the person
who was the single player
on blockbusters
had the advantage
of not having to move
as many blocks
across the board
exactly
so
it's a classic
asymmetrics game.
Eli and I have gone for the rules very, very quickly.
I'm sure he's got a reasonably good grasp of them,
but here's the gist of it in a nutshell.
I'm going to be playing four of these characters,
two are police, two are detectives.
Detectives could only move around the board
based on their tickets.
They have a bus ticket, a train ticket, and a taxi ticket.
The map that we have to play on...
It's a map of London.
...is a map of London. It's central London. And every row's got colour lines train ticket, and a taxi ticket. The map that we have to play on is a map of London.
It's central London.
And every road's got colour lines on it, like a tube map.
So between streets and intersections, there are red and blue and yellow lines.
It's got Tate Britain on it.
Yeah.
So yellow is a taxi move.
Blue is a bus ticket move.
And red, which is the longest distance, is a train ticket, red ticket.
Tube.
Yeah.
Red tube. Right. Red tube.
Right?
Red tube?
Did you just say red tube?
Because it's got a little bone on.
So that's how you move around the board one step at a time using these train tickets.
The villain is not on the board.
I'll be playing the villain.
Of course.
And I'm playing the copper.
And you move around the board. You're playing two detectives and two coppers.
Yeah, you move around the board invisibly.
However, at certain stages in the game, you have to reveal yourself.
It doesn't mean getting your winky out.
It just means you show where you are.
Because you bought the winky without getting me a winky.
No one got me a winky.
I found winky.
If it wasn't for me, there'd be no winky.
So?
You didn't do the leg work.
Yeah, but if you did the leg work.
No one would know about Winky.
No, it's true.
I deserve a Winky.
But you just got your Winky out and left it there.
The rest of us went looking for more Winky
after you left us hungry for your Winky.
And so now we had to go get some Winky elsewhere.
It's not our problem if you don't give us the whole Winky.
Can you just explain the rules of the game?
Just give us the tip of your Winky.
Explain the rules of the game.
So, you move first and then I move my four characters
two detectives
two police
right simple
the idea is
you've got to avoid me
I can't see where you are
but you can see where I am
and how does this one
win the game
when they're not doing
a truncated version
as we are
here today
on Ganon's Golden Game
we're giving ourselves
a 20 minute limit
on this
when you're playing it normally
you'd have
I think 24 moves
24 yeah so you have to you have to do the whole it normally you'd have I think 24 moves 24 yeah
so you have to
you have to do the whole 24 moves
so you have to survive
24 moves
without being caught
so if you move
and then I move mine
on your last go
but my last character gets you
then you win
then you still win
so that's how that works
oh I still win
no I still win
but you lose
even though you've moved
theoretically on your last move
to a safe place
you see what I'm saying
yes I'm saying
so
Ela has some special moves
which we'll get to during the game,
but they give him a little bit of advantage.
And that's it.
So, at the start of the game,
I gave myself four characters.
Eli's got one.
Now, I had to find some starting positions.
So, I randomly picked out of it
from some cards.
And I randomly picked one,
which you don't get to see.
I don't get to see.
You don't get to see
where the criminal's been.
I only get to see your third, eighth, what is it, 13th move?
Yeah, and 18th and 24th.
All right, so I only know on the board where you are
and act like, oh, he's over there,
so I can stop migrating my people over there from too far away.
By then I will have moved.
You just don't know.
You also have a double move card,
which allows you to move two spacers on one go.
Do I have to move every go, or can I go, I won't move?
I think you have to move every time, because I think it fudgesges it because you still have to show on your grid if it took a bus
then a train and a taxi so even though i won't know where you are on the board your grid will
still show me what transport you're moving in it's a bit visual but we're going to pep it up with a
bit of action that's what we're going to do in it and also if you're very lucky and you're a patreon
person you can see us playing the game because I'm filming it right now with my camera.
And you might even get to see a little snifter of the filth that is the House of Pickles.
So you need an excuse to be a Patreon.
Now you got it.
Now you can see us play this game.
Although, sadly, they've just been looking at that for five minutes, seven minutes exactly.
Or maybe longer.
Sorry.
We're sorry.
That's not right.
He's doing a wanking sign.
I am going to now...
We're not going to do any spoff today.
Wanking's not.
You can go on full wank without emitting diodes.
Emitting diodes.
Right, so I'm going to start moving my character.
See, I've got four because I'm playing two cops and two detectives.
The cops can move anywhere without having a ticket.
That is why they have a little multicoloured skirt on. Yeah.
Whereas the detectives, these two
characters, blue and green, and they
can only move on the ticket system.
And I have 22 taxi,
16 bus, and 8
train. Once I'm out of those, that's it.
I'm out. If you were playing this normally,
you would be played by at least
two players. Yeah, if there was more players,
they'd be detectives and coppers. You'd be cooperating. Yeah. So I'm cooperating with myself right now. Oh players. Yeah, if there was more players, they'd be technically co-operating.
Yeah.
So I'm co-operating with myself right now.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
So.
Oh, yeah.
What does that even do?
That's awful.
Oh, yeah.
So we're going to play.
Gannis Golden Games.
It's Scotland Yard and the chase is on.
Gannis Golden Games. Gannis Golden. Right. And the chase is on. Gal is golden, guys.
Gal is golden.
Right, Liz.
Right, so.
Gal is golden.
Guys.
Right, we need to start the actual game now.
Because I'm starting the timer.
20 minutes, right?
Gal is golden.
You can fucking stop that.
Seriously.
It's actually genuinely getting to the point where I might smash this game up and just chin you.
I'm genuinely
fucking getting angry about it.
Oh, good.
You ready? Time starts.
Now.
You ain't never gonna fucking find me,
copper. Right,
officer, I am PC Plod,
and I'm gonna catch this criminal. Right, so
I'm gonna put my men on the scene
throughout London. You, policeman Plod,
you go to space 91.
Where's that? 40, 60,
40, 70. Can you see 91
over there? Where is it?
Oh, yeah, 90.
I should have done this first before
we fucking started.
92 is there. Where's 91?
Where's 91?
You can keep saying that, Paul.
Where's 91?
91.
Over here for some fucking reason.
It must be connected by something.
Right, so that's that.
Right.
PC Constable Dirty Biscuits.
You go over to 174.
Why biscuits?
Why?
Because I have a very limited imagination.
You fucking do, don't you?
174.
Where is it?
Find 174.
179.
This is really interesting to everyone.
I should have done this before.
16.
You're not helping.
I know.
What am I meant to do?
Look for 174.
I know, what am I going to do? Look for 174.
Gannon's Golden Games!
Shut up, 138. Where's 138?
Is this the game?
It is.
Find the numbers, yeah?
You've just
knocked them and they've fallen on the floor!
Pick it up.
Sorry.
This is the worst Gallon's Golden Games ever.
Now I literally don't know where I've just...
Pick it up.
Pick it up.
I can't reach it because it's a fucking tiny, dirty little bedroom.
All right.
Move that.
Take care.
Ah, fuck it.
I'm going there.
I'm going there.
I'm going there.
I'm going there.
Fuck these cards.
Fuck them.
Okay.
Fuck that.
It doesn't fucking matter.
Stupid fucking game.
Do you know where your starting space is?
Yes.
Do you know exactly on the board where you're starting?
Don't tell me.
Keep it to yourself.
Do you know where it is?
Christ, what a fucking shit show.
No.
I'm just going to have to look,
aren't I?
Yeah,
I'll close my eyes
so you can see.
Who thought the hardest part
of this fucking game
was just...
You got it?
Yeah.
Alright, you ready to go? I'm ready. You got it? Yeah. Alright, you ready
to go?
I'm ready.
You got your
pencil, you got
your pad, you got
everything behind
you.
I got my pad.
Yeah.
Right, the crime
is afoot.
The game is afoot.
Yeah, that thing.
Right, officers, we have been told that Mr X is on the prowl in London and we must stop him before he gets out.
Oh, wait, he's on the phone right now.
Hello?
Is that the fucking pigs?
Yes, it is.
Well, you ain't never going to get me.
We'll get you.
Don't you worry about that.
I'll be taking all two times of transport.
I'll go here.
I'll go there.
You ain't never seen me, mate.
You, sir, are a scallion and a scoundrel.
And I shall find you.
I'm a scallion?
Yeah, a scallion.
As in what?
A spring onion?
Yeah, you're a spring onion, sir.
Well, you are a green onion.
Oh. I mean, you're a red onion. Sam. Well, you are a green onion. Oh.
I mean, you're a red onion.
Oh.
There you match.
Let's crack on.
You make me cry.
Right.
You cut into you, you make me cry.
Right, we've got 90 minutes.
Let's start fucking moving this
because we haven't got much time
and I want to catch your criminal.
Right, so,
I will...
You do your first move, so...
What do I do?
Well, basically, you say...
You ain't never going to get me, cop-out.
You say, right,
if you're going to take a train, bus
or tube, and then you write in your little circle
the square you go to, and then you put in
a card from up there,
you put a card over that that covers the transport.
So, if you go taxi,
then you write the number to the square you went to, and you say you went
there by taxi. Right?
I do like him. He's dirty. So, I have to tell
you what form of transport I've taken?
Yeah, but only because you show it on your grid. You put that card on your grid to cover up the number of the square you go to. Well, I write like him. He's dirty. So I have to tell you what form of transport I've taken? Yeah, but only because you show it on your grid.
You put that card on your grid to cover up the number of the square you go to.
Well, I write the number.
So let's just say you go to 170 next.
You write 170 and you put a taxi card over the top of it because you went from there to there.
Oh, where was I again?
I don't know.
Fuck.
This.
Oh.
Genuinely.
I'm close to busting something.
No, don't.
Just calm down, man. Right. Have you moved then? No, I'm just. Oh, mate. All right close to busting something. No, don't. Just calm down, man.
Right, have you moved then?
No, I'm just...
Oh, mate.
All right, all right.
Yeah, I've moved.
This criminal's taken his...
So I write in the space for number one, I write where I've gone.
Where you've gone, and then to cover it up,
you put in the ticket card of the transport you used to get there.
All right?
Didn't you just have a card in your hand?
You did, you had a taxi one, didn't you?
I didn't have a taxi one.
All right, well, either way, if you went by taxi there or you went by bus what if i could get there via either of
those means then it doesn't matter you can just pick one of them doesn't matter yeah i can still
track you i can still track you sir by tracking your means of movement all right done it all right
so oh he went by bus right so i'm going to oh where Right, so I'm going to...
Oh, where should I go?
I'm going to...
Oh, this cunt.
He's too far fucking way.
So I'm going to start moving him towards the tube station.
So you, Mr. Blue, PC Blue, you go up one.
You get a...
And you've used one of your taxi tickets now.
I used one of my taxi tickets.
I'm just going to put them there for now.
Oh, I fucking not.
And I'm going to move you to number eight, sir. You stay there.
You're heading towards the tube. We're going to bring you into
the action. Right. Now I've got him as
well, my detective. Oh, you get loads of goes, do you?
Yeah, I've got four. I've got to move.
Fucking hell. I'll just have a little lie down.
Right. So I'm not at a tube station,
so I can't use a tube. I can go one stop
either way. So I'm going to go. I'm going to
use another taxi.
I have a lot of those. I have quite a lot of taxi tickets. So I'm going to use that. So I'm going to go. I'm going to use another taxi. I have a lot of those. I have quite a lot of taxi
tickets. So I'm going to use that. And I'm
going to move you one stop to number
71, sir. Good for you. Now, you
two coppers, where do you go? I tell you what,
you're moving to the tube. So your next move
is going there. And you, oh,
you, Mr. Copper Red,
you'll go to 128. So you don't have to spend
tickets on those ones. I'm now
at the Imperial Museum. You don't have to spend tickets on those ones I'm now at the Imperial you don't have to spend
tickets for those ones
no
no
only the detectives
because the police
can go anywhere
they've got a badge
and they can go
illou illou illou
let me on the train
and they'll go
yeah
whereas detective
they have to sign a form
and expenses
so they must use tickets
and keep a record of them
right

You've got to keep your tracks out
Of where you are
This devilish
Cretin
Oh he won't

Text me
I've been on the force for too long
Many years I've been beating the street
Beating my meat on the street
Down at my feet
Yo, yo, yo, yo
Cup of rap
Cup, cup, cup of rap
Right
If you're going to make a fucking move, sir
How can you tell if you can get on the tube?
It has to be red
It's got to be red
So there are intersections
Okay, but
Okay
There are intersections, sir
Unless it's red
You can't get on the tube
No
So you can't travel on the red line unless you get to a tube, sir.
That's how we do it in Britain.
That's how we always do it.
Now we always have done it, sir.
Okay.
Right.
Here we go.
He's going to write the number down and then take a ticket from the box and put it in your
little grid.
Oh, he's taking a taxi now, is he?
That's interesting.
There we go.
I'm taking a taxi.
He's taking a taxi.
But where to?
I don't know.
I've got to move my piece into force.
Right.
Have you done your move?
Yeah.
And you've got...
So he went by bus and by yellow taxi.
So that's interesting.
What would that mean?
Bus by...
All right.
Okay.
Time to go.
Let's move our detectives first.
I'm going to move you on the blue line.
No, it's spending the taxi on you.
And I'll take you to a tube stop.
So PC blue, there you go. You're on the tube. That's great for you on the next line. Oh, no. It's been another taxi on you. And I'll take you to a tube stop. So, PC Blue, there you go.
You're on the tube.
That's great for you on the next move.
Job done.
Now, what about you, Detective Me?
PC Bobby.
Hello, hello, hello.
I'm going to go.
Oh, I'm going to go to the tube on my next move.
So, I'll go.
I'll take a bus this time.
Lovely London bus.
I'll go upstairs and sit on the front seat and pretend to be driving.
That's how we like to do it in Britain.
Let's always have done it.
It's lovely Britain.
So you're moving to that.
To that.
Excellent.
And then my two coppers.
Oh, I'm going to move you, PC Purplehead.
You're going on the tube all the way to there.
All the way.
And finally, I'm going to move you, policemanemen onto that one. One, four, two.
There we go. Excellent work. I've moved
my police in some order. So,
right. This next move,
your third, you have to
move and then show me on the board where you are
with your playing piece.
Because these moves are the ones where you reveal
yourself. Okay.
Not really doing much of a character, Eli. I'm just
saying I'm doing all the
character work right now.
Alright then, Coppa.
It's a meeting of minds,
isn't it?
The Great British Robber
and the Great British Coppa.
Listen.
Yes?
I've been up the veras.
Edie-boo.
I've been round the...
Ases.
Round the ases.
Yep.
Come round here.
We've been playing
for ten minutes
and I don't think
we've moved much. Come round here. Go round here. Come round here. Come round here. Go round here, Aziz. Yep. Come round here. We've been playing for ten minutes and I don't think we've moved much.
Come round here.
Go round here.
Come round here.
Come round here.
Go round here.
Go round here and you come round here.
Come round here.
See how we get on with it.
Do I put the ticket over this one?
No, you don't.
Put a ticket over that one.
I need to use a ticket, don't I?
Oh, no, you do.
You're right.
Sorry, sir.
I've got the rules all faddled.
I need to use a fucking ticket.
But you've got to put your character on the board
where your next move is.
All right.
There we go.
Right. So where's he going to put a fucking ticket. You've got to put your character on the board where your next move is. All right, there we go.
Right, so where's he going to put it?
Right, he's going by bus to this spot.
Right, and then you put your little playing piece on the board where you've just moved to.
Holy bloody bloody.
I can't believe it.
I'm right under your nose, copper.
Yeah, so you've done... Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle.
Bacon, sizzle, bacon sandwich. Baconle, bacon sizzle, bacon sandwich.
Bacon sandwich,
around here,
come round here.
Yeah.
And now the character's
really working.
Come round here,

I come round here,
I go round.
Come round,
go round.
Come round here,
go round there.
Come round here,
go round there.
You know what?

Come round here. With your cockney gang. I want you to pad this out. Come round here.
With your cockney gang.
I want you to pad it out for as much as you possibly can.
Come round here.
Because if you think things through on this gameplay, right?
If you think it through.
Come round here.
Do you know how chess works where you have to anticipate your next player's move?
Yeah, that's why I've moved there.
Right, so where do you think he's going to move to next?
Oh, shit.
Where do you think PC Blue Bobby's going to go next?
He's not going to catch me, though.
He is, because it's my go to move these four characters,
and you just moved yourself to a tube stop.
Yes, you've just fucking lost,
because you just moved yourself to a tube stop.
I'm next on the line.
It's been a long day.
I'm going to make a move to this.
Quick, he's shown himself.
Quick, all police. Quick, here we go. I'm going to make a move with this quick he's shown himself quick all police
quick
here we go
I'm going to get
I'm going to save him
till last
this is the fucking
beautiful
right
we know he's on the
underground
he's popped out
at the British Museum
we'll catch him
while he's not looking
while he's looking at
while he's looking at
the bloody hoover
with the fucking
Mahmood evil hoover
the Mahmood hoover
yeah
is in the British Museum
Carmoon
Amun's hoover
Carmoon's the hoover of Carmoon. Carmoon's Hoover.
Carmoon's, the Hoover of Carmoon.
So, PC Sparkly Bitch, you're going to take the tube one stop and you're going to go to there just outside Sherlock Holmes Museum.
I can't believe how stupid I am.
Yep, I know, I'm milking this.
So you go there.
You get to spend a lovely day at the Sherlock Holmes Museum.
Oh, can't believe it, Gaffney.
It's my favourite place.
Shut up.
Dude, I'm milking this because you're a stupid, stupid cunt.
Fuck off.
My police two detectives,
since you can move anywhere on the board,
where would you like to go?
Oh, well, I'm at Buckingham Palace, sir.
Maybe I should go to Green Park.
Yeah, I think you should.
Here we go.
Meow, meow, meow, meow.
Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow.
Take the tube, why don't you?
No, take a cab.
Have it on us.
Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow.
Right, and you, PC Purple Top, what do you want to do?
Oh, well, I've had a busy day, sir.
If you don't mind, I'm going to go to Waterloo and have a pub drink.
Have a pub drink?
With my fucking friends.
So here we go.
We're going to Waterloo.
Thank you, sir.
Right, so it's time for PC Bobby to make his move.
Here we go.
Use a ticket.
I'm going to get on the ground.
Where am I?
At the Bank of England.
And then I'm going to go to the British Museum,
where I believe my character's caught.
Let's fucking watch this properly.
No.
Let's watch this properly.
Here we go.
Oh, here he is on there.
And here he is on there.
That's me.
And here we go.
There we go. I've gone.
He's bloody gone into the darkness.
Right, bring in the army.
Officer Source.
The Source police has come in.
I'm going to get you, sucker.
Here we go.
Police brutality.
So you won?
Yeah, I won. What happened?
You caught me then? Yeah, I caught you because
you went on there. I didn't do very well there, Paul.
You literally walked into my next
move. I didn't do very well there at all.
So there we go. Well, that was
a guess. That looks like quite a fun
game, I have to say. And there's eight minutes left
on the clock. I think you should
just do that Irish stew joke.
What would you like for dinner, love?
I would like some Irish stew.
I kind of ruined it by saying I would
like. We'll try again.
What would you want for dinner, darling?
Irish stew. And where do we live? would you want for dinner, darling? A with stew.
And where do we live?
This is kind of sad about a couple living with a wife with, like, Alzheimer's.
Where am I?
You're my darling, darling wife.
And I love you.
And even though you don't remember, I remember you.
Where do we live, then?
We live in a lovely place called 999.
Let's be having a year, you know.
What's this I'm holding that I'm about to hand to you?
It's a...
It's a bottle of...
It's a bowl of...
It's a bowl of Irish stew.
It's Irish stew, yeah.
And who am I?
Oh, this is just tragic at this point now.
So, ladies and gentlemen, there you go.
Oh, look, there's Eli.
Oh, can you see me?
Yeah.
Oh, can you see Eli? Yeah Or can you see like
Look flash flash
People want to see
What the house of pickles
Looks like
No don't show them
The house of pickles
Whatever you do
Alright I won't
Okay
That's exclusive
Great content for Patreon
That video isn't it
I think it looks like
Quite a good game
You know what
If I was playing with
You know actually
Mentally functioning
Human beings
It might be a lot of fun
Guessing where you are
i like it because you know what you're meant to pop you could have could have gone anywhere
and you didn't think about where my move i didn't think it literally it's like kind of like chess
yeah you know what i mean well you've got to preempt where you think i didn't think i didn't
notice the tube line it's you know can i be honest though i'm kind of frankly glad you guffed it
because why i would have definitely have lost really I reckon so I
reckon it's hard when
you think about it when
you go under again and
you disappear off the
board you've got to
kind of triangulate
where you think it's
going to be hoping that
you usually you're more
than one person playing
the cops so yeah and
I would take notes as
well by going oh he
went blue then yellow
then red then red then
blue so I could kind of
imagine what the routes
might be but you just
have to do it quickly
within 24 moves yeah
you just got to stay
alive for 20 more moves so it's it's I genuinely would like to play this quote-unquote imagine what the routes might be. But you just have to do it quickly, within 24 moves. Yeah, you've just got to stay alive
for 20 more moves.
So it's...
I genuinely would like to play this
quote-unquote properly.
So would I.
Because it looks like a proper lot of fun.
I like the map of London.
That's nice.
I like the character pieces.
It's a lovely game.
I got this in absolutely mint condition.
For?
Three quid.
Very good.
British Heart Foundation.
I think in Harrow.
It's a lovely thing, Paulrow it's a lovely thing Paul
it's a lovely thing
it's a lovely golden game
and I'm sorry that I
mocked you
I'm not
because I get to feel
all superior
but
like when I fucking
aced you at playing
that Sherlock Holmes game
you did
I reckon I could be
a real cop
could you?
I reckon I could be
a real cop
yeah I reckon
think about it
Paul I remember
when we did
a sketch comedy
thing called
Rogue's Handbook
we did it in Edinburgh
and there was one
particular scene
where you played a cop
which you really struggled
to remember the lines
on that scene
and I have no excuse
I wrote that sketch
and it was so difficult
to remember
it cracked me up so much
how badly you couldn't
remember those lines
you could not remember those lines.
You could not remember those lines.
Anyway, that's Gans Gond Games.
You wretched, petty prick.
Okay, Paul, that was a lovely episode of Cheap Show.
Cheap Show is packed with... We're at the end of the episode.
We're at the end of the episode now.
Packed with tracks, packed with games, packed with packed with laughs oh we've had a great time we have had a
lovely time and there wasn't too much mention of ejaculate well i don't think we had at all
i don't think i think on the ejaculate scale we're quite low this week 10 cc 10 cc um is that a myth
yeah apparently you don't spunk 10cc That's too much
It's not you spunk 10cc
It's the capacity
Of the
Of the
Holder at the end of a Johnny
Built into the Johnny
That space
Either way
That is 10cc
Is it?
Yeah
Either way that's not why
They're called 10cc
Why are they called 10cc then?
Because I told you last time
Someone had a dream
And said you're going to be
Called 10cc
And the biggest man in the world
And they went with it
I think it was Jonathan King
Who said that
I think I don't know who said that. I think.
I don't know.
That is, you did, now I remember.
He did say that before.
So, content, content, content.
I'm bad with dates and names
and you're bad with reality.
That's how it works out on this fucking show.
I'm the best comedian in the world.
It's like, remember when you used to do accents?
You go, oh, hello.
Yeah.
Do Mexican.
All right.
Hello.
Hello.
Anyway. He's a very big penis that's moriarty yeah it is isn't it right that was a cheap show for another week thank you for
supporting us oh no if you'd like to continue supporting us on patreon hey hey hang on mate
seriously no hold on no seriously no hold on this is the worst part of the show for me. All I've got to do is get a sentence out with facts and information.
Hang on.
New character.
Hang on.
Hello.
I hate this character myself.
I hate myself.
Hello.
Paul, notice one thing.
London Zoo, Regent's Park, looks like it's got half of a pentagram on it.
Just needs one more line.
One more line and it's a pentagram.
Are you saying that Regent's Park is...
Devil worshippers. Devil worshippers.
Devil worshippers.
And London Zoo's on there so they can sacrifice the odd animal?
Yeah, goats.
Goats straight off the mountain, can't you?
Queen Mary's Garden.
That's also a place there, yes.
How does it all relate to Satanism?
Dozens?
You just saw a thing that looks a bit like a pentagram
and you just thought that would be witty content for a podcast.
We're going to be discussing on an upcoming podcast.
Yeah.
You're reading a book about that at the moment, aren't you, Paul?
Yeah, I want to read it.
I want to talk about it.
And what's that book called?
I think it's called Satanic Panic.
And it's about the satanic panic over the ages.
The early 70s through to mid-80s.
That's the proper satanic panic.
And how it affected pop culture.
So if you want to get a really good take on it, just listen to the last podcast on the
left episode.
Aren't we going to discuss it
no we are
but we won't do it
with the depth
or intellect
or knowledge
or enthusiasm
as last podcast
on the left
but we are going to tackle it
because I'm fascinated
by some of the elements of it
what about these bits
does it still remain
mint on card
if you throw out
these
card matrices
I could push them back in
that's what I mean
so do you want to save these
I'm going to save them
can you stop being
asinine
while I just do the wrap up
please

I'm the Nazalaf.
Just turn your microphone off.
Then it doesn't matter.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for supporting us on
Patreon.
Patreon.
Don't fucking fart again.
I didn't.
Do you know this is why we never get awards?
This is why we're never going to get a comedy award.
Because people go, oh, anything but fish.
Oh, that's good.
They talk about science
and smart thinking.
Who is it up against
this year in the comedy awards?
Oh, Eli and Paul.
Wang.
Wang.
Put my mic on.
It is on.
I can't see.
Oh, it is on, yeah.
Now, Paul,
the reason we don't talk
about science, yeah,
is because you are
totally illiterate
intellectually. You don't talk about science, yeah, is because you are totally illiterate intellectually.
You don't understand things like very basic scientific things.
Do you?
I mean, do you?
Come on.
You're not good at that.
I have enthusiasm for the sciences.
I admit that my...
Your knowledge isn't very good.
My knowledge isn't very good,
but my heart is strong and my brain likes to learn.
Right?
You fucking little shit.
I don't know
about Ghostbusters. I get it, yeah, but
so what? It doesn't matter if you don't know about Ghostbusters.
It doesn't matter. It's a comedy
film about a serial
sex offender and his three mates
who catch ghosts. We
will have an award though, Paul. We'll have
a whole award show. What's the update? Let's have the
update on that. I'm going to do it. I want to
make it special and I want to do something
a bit different.
So it means preparation.
It has a lot of work.
You're putting a lot of work
in everyone.
He's putting a lot of work
into this pod.
Snuffle,
laugh,
laughicus.
Right.
And so I've got a big load
of work coming up
at the end of March.
So I'm going to leave
until April to edit it,
which is why we're recording
all these now in advance.
So I have three in my back pocket
so I don't have to
touch you again.
Nuzzle, laughicus.
Nuzzle, laughicus. Don Nuzzle up your puss.
Don't...
Ow!
Ow!
It stings!
Don't do that!
Don't do what?
I'm going to fucking...
I...
I'm throwing two pens of pizzas at his head.
That is like...
People get banned for life
from football matches for that.
Good.
And it hurt.
