Hello, Paul.
I won't be looking at you.
You won't be looking at me?
What do you mean?
Don't turn your back to me.
I'm not turning my back.
I just won't look at you.
Why won't you look at me?
Because it might give some other energy to this.
Don't you love me anymore?
It's not about that.
Who's the love job?
It's about trying to reintroduce some energy into it.
What kind of energy?
No one sees us when they hear it,
so why should I see you when I'm doing it?
Because we're having a relationship.
We're not having a relationship. We are, we're having a podcast
relationship. I'm just going to get some coffee,
okay? Alright, well you
go get coffee and I'll do the intro.
No, let me do the intro.
You're going to get a fucking coffee!
What do you want?
You're going to go get a coffee.
All right, I'll leave the door open.
I'll leave the door open.
Leave the door open then.
He's left the door open.
Right, well, welcome to Cheap Show,
the economy comedy podcast for your ears,
where me and my co-host, Eli Silverman,
I'm Paul Gannon, by the way,
go through the bargain bins, charity shops, the pound lands,
the jumbog sales and bazaars
of Great Britain,
where we try and find treasure in the trash
and wonder in the wastelands.
And have we found some this week? Well, you're about
to find out. Let's hit the credits.
Well done. Thank you.
I hate you and your fucking
noodle posse.
People love noodles, right? posse

Eli Silver
Welcome to Geek Show
I'm not going on a nuzzle
So you're really not going to look at me this whole episode?
No, I'm not looking at you
I can see what you're doing
What can you see me doing if you're not looking at me?
You're giving me the fingers
I am giving you the fingers
I'm giving you all my fingers
Absolutely fine Paul
I'm just going to be mature Okay, let's be mature I'm going to all my fingers. Absolutely fine, Paul. I'm just going to be mature.
Okay, let's be mature.
I'm going to look over here at your spinning disc held upon your mirror.
What is it, Frisbee?
It's not a...
Don't angle it.
I'm going to look in the mirror and I can see you.
It's an Araby.
I can see you in the mirror.
It's an Araby, Paul.
So?
You can see me in the mirror?
Yeah.
What am I doing?
Ah, you looked at me, you prick!
Right, anyway, welcome to Fucking Cheap Show.
The show where the hosts don't look at each other for 90 minutes.
90?
About that.
Well, you know what we haven't tried, now that I'm looking over there?
What?
I'm looking across what used to be the sauce trough.
Remember that?
Oh, yeah, the sauce trough. Has it been taken down?
Well, a lot of it's been sort of
put underground. It's under the bed.
Under the bed and on the floor. Yeah.
I had to dismantle some of the trough.
But there is a sauce report that sometimes
happens on the show, Paul. Yeah.
It's the sauce report that there's no more sauce trough.
No, that was way before the
sauce report. Anyway,
do-do-do-do, sauce report.
Even you don't have the life in it.
Even you're not trying to sell it this week.
There's no passion in it.
I don't know this new technique of yours.
It's just lacking passion.
You've got to look at me.
Look at me.
Look at this.
Look at all of this.
Look at all of this. And his belly.
But look at that.
He's splodging it. He's doing his nips. Look at all of this. And his belly. But look at that. He's splodging it.
He's doing a little miniature truffle shuffle.
He's now drumming his belly.
No, don't.
He's pulling up the T-shirt.
I'm not looking.
Look at my belly.
Oh, it's got a little fluff in my belly button.
Your belly looks like one of those fake fat bellies.
It does.
Yeah.
Anyway, very hairy.
That's got treasure in my belly button.
Come on.
Come on now.
A little bit of fluff.
That cannabis wine.
Oh, yeah.
That's the source report.
It's not source.
This just in.
It's not source.
It's just in on the source report, which can cover other issues to do with fluids.
No, it can't.
Yes, it can.
In that case, it's the fluid. Yes, it can. It's the fluid report, then.
Do-do-do-do-do-do. Source report.
Now I pass over to Ian McFluid
with the fluid report from
the source report. Ian.
Yes. Still not tried
on the cheap show
show, Wine Abyss.
So?
We still haven't tried Wine Abyss 420.
Are we going to now then?
Shall we?
Yeah.
Alright.
It's boozy.
It's not 420.
It's not 420 it says there.
I know,
but that's a date.
Yeah.
It didn't cost 420.
It's not a time of day.
It could be,
the way it's written there.
I mean, yeah,
when it's written there,
but it's meant to be a date,
isn't it?
So where did you get this? This was donated to the show. I mean, yeah, when it's written there, but it's meant to be a date, isn't it? So where did you get this?
This was donated to the show.
Really?
By Georgia,
my good friend Georgia.
She picked it up in the States,
I believe.
Okay.
And it's got no THC in it.
It's just dope flavoured wine.
Made with grapes and stuff,
like normal wine.
How alcoholic is it?
9.5.
Okay, so about right.
Kind of standard for wine, isn't it?
I don't know.
I'm uncorking it now, Paul.
All right.
It's got a cork.
It's actual proper wine.
Oh, I mean...
Do you have a penknife on you?
No, funnily enough,
I didn't think to bring with me
a bottle cork opener.
Oh, it's one of those plazzy ones.
It's a plazzy bottle.
Describe it to them.
You're just speaking to the fucking mic.
What's your problem?
The mic's in. You are... Wine abyss. Wine abyss. I'll just get a bottle open. Describe it to them What's your problem Mike's there and you're like
Wine abyss
Double taste
Product of Spain
A daring high aroma
It must smell of dope a lot
A potente atrivido aroma
So it's not
It's got no active THC or CBD
Elements to it
It's just flavoured and smells.
It looks...
It's actually green as well.
I thought the bottle was green, but no, it's actually green liquid.
Wow.
Shall I get a glass?
Yes.
Wine abyss of all things.
I don't know what double taste means.
Flavoured...
Hang on.
Flavoured cocktail containing wine.
That's a strange way of putting it.
Eli.
Yes.
Do you know what it says on here?
Flavoured cocktail
containing wine.
Yeah.
Because it's not all wine.
The cannabis bit
is obviously not...
Oh, you think it might be sweet?
Yeah.
It might be quite nice.
I mean, yeah, hopefully.
You never know.
You never know.
Now, sorry,
I don't have any wine glasses, Paul.
Well, this is thrilling.
This is nice. We don't often do wine glasses, Paul. Well, this is thrilling. This is nice.
We don't often do wine on Cheap Show, do we?
We're doing wine on Cheap Show.
This is cannabis wine.
Margaret, have you heard?
They're doing wine on Cheap Show now.
Are they, Rupert?
Paul?
Yes, Margaret.
This will be your upcoming trip.
Are listeners aware of your upcoming trip?
I mean, it's probably been announced on the internet.
But let's talk about that because it's of relevance to...
I'll do that while you open the bottle.
Okay.
I'm going to Los Angeles
because I'm going to Ghostbusters Fan Fest.
Right now, I can't say why exactly
because it's not been announced,
but I'm going to be there and it's very exciting.
I'm going out there beginning of June
and I might... God, I'm going out there beginning of June and I might,
God,
I'm going to try and get an interview
for the Winky story.
He's going to actually try
and get the...
I'm going to try
and do some Winky info.
I'm going to try
and sniff out a bit more Winky
while I'm in LA.
Okay, good.
That's great.
That's exciting to me, Paul.
I've not been there in years.
It's weird.
And what else?
That's why I brought it up, Paul.
Yeah.
Because we're drinking
cannabis wine here.
Yeah.
One of the few parts
of the world
where they have legalised recently
recreational cannabis use in California.
So for the show,
I want you to go and buy some fucking top-dank
Bud.
I'll do a report from LA and we'll listen
back to it. The dope report. I'd like to know what it's like.
Well, this is exciting development, isn't it?
Cheap shows going international. If anyone is
listening in LA and goes, Paul, do you want
to hang out with me?
Probably won't.
I'm quite antisocial.
I probably just stay in most of the time.
I've got the Halfington Report back from this wine.
Yeah.
It's really not good, man.
In what way?
It smells like very cheap wine.
So it just smells like cheap wine, then.
That kind of very bitter, acrid.
Well, let's have a sniff.
I mean, it's very green.
That's like Emerald City green
yeah that is
that is
impressive
if nothing else
it's a very impressive colour
the problem is
it looks far more tasty
than it's gonna be
because this looks like
fizzy fun pop
forgive it
give it a sniff
it's not good
ooh
you can smell the bud though
you can smell the weed in it a bit
you've got that
yeah
pongy
dank
that pongy dank floral yeah you're getting the weed lovely bud you're getting the bud though you can smell the weed in it a bit you've got that pongy dank floral
dad lovely bud
you're getting the
bud smell
interesting article
I read recently
I think it was the Guardian
maybe the BBC
saying how people are fine
with people smoking weed
what they hate
is the stench of it
and that's what
gets people really annoyed
because if someone
downstairs in the house
in the flat below
smells it
smokes it
fair enough
yeah
and it's kind of
well there's certain types of strains where you can basically get rid of the smell entirely.
But then for real potheads, the flavour, the smell is a big part of it.
I mean, I like it.
But I can imagine other people don't.
They're called terpenes.
Those are the chemicals that cause those smells, the strong smells.
And you can completely isolate the psychoactive
parts from the
terpenes, from the smell.
Oh, that's good. For example,
hash oil, which is very
refined. Drug talk on cheap shit.
Hash oil, which I got some in university.
If you get the proper stuff, it's fucking
great. You just wipe a bit on a cigarette
paper and there's no
smell in that.
And also,
I was out in the States,
they've got these vape pens
where they've got
a distillate
of cannabis
in a sort of,
in a vape liquid
and that just has
very, very little smell.
You can do that
in a restaurant
and like,
I'm going to have to get
one of them then,
I think.
It blows your head off.
Let's try this bloody,
you ready?
I'm going to suck it
from the bottle.
That's one of the worst things I've ever tasted.
Oh God.
That tastes like kitchen cleanup.
Oh,
it does not work.
That does not work.
Oh,
I mean,
as a flavor,
I'd say that.
Oh,
it's awful.
The way that this slight,
oh,
it does.
It tastes like,
like something you spray on your countertop.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Fucking love it.
I'm going to drink this bottle over the course of the episode.
See how it goes.
Let me just top you up then.
Here we go.
Right, that's enough for now.
Fucking hell.
This is horrible.
I instantly regret this plan.
But fuck it.
Oh, it's Drunk Paul Solving Murders. That instantly regret this plan. But fuck it. Oh, it's drunk Paul solving murders.
That's my new podcast.
Right.
Jack the Ripper was the queen of hearts.
I don't fucking know.
Paul, but in all seriousness.
Isn't Ted Bundy sexy?
Oh, he only brutally beat and murdered women,
but oh, he's so sexy.
Satire from Paul here.
Oh, murder.
Here's a letter from a reader
who said her next door neighbour
was a serial killer
and ate seven kids.
Oh,
I can't believe it.
I'm so drunk.
Look at the,
the plugs in upside down
but then to put it back.
I can't.
I'm going to drink it.
It's awful.
I've committed to it.
Look,
the plug came out
the wrong way up because it's designed to be pushed back in the other way around. committed to it. Look, the plug came out the wrong way up
because it's designed to be pushed back in the other way around.
Yeah, it's clever, isn't it?
Yeah.
It's the only thing about it that is.
So I've replugged the Wine Abyss.
Also, Wine Abyss.
Come on, have a thought, someone.
Just call it Cannabis Wine.
Just keep it classy.
You know what I mean?
Wine Abyss.
Fucking terrible product.
Or call it something different, like...
It's disgusting.
Geronimo's Thumbprint. You know what I mean? Cannabis. Fucking terrible product. Or call it something different, like... It's disgusting. Geronimo's Thumbprint.
You know what I mean?
The exotic cannabis wine.
Geronimo's Footprint.
Geronimo's Thumbprint.
Thumbprint, yeah.
Right, that's good, that.
Yeah, Paul, yeah.
I need to fix your fucking mic.
It's doing my head in.
Talk into it.
What are we doing on the show today?
Well, that's what I was going to ask.
Well, let's go straight into a Tales from the Shop Floor.
Oh, can I read one?
I haven't read one in years.
Do you want to read this one, then?
All right, here we go.
Tales from the Shop Floor.
This is from someone called Seth Seabolt.
Nice name.
Hello, Seth.
Sounds like sexy boy.
Hi, Paul and Eli.
Seth Sexybot.
What's his name?
Seabot.
Seabolt.
I'm going to call him Seth Sexybot. Seabolt. Seabolt. I'm going to call him Seth Sexybot.
Seabolt.
Sexybolt.
Okay.
You can call him that.
Say Sexybolt.
Thank you.
So,
hi Paul and Eli.
Hello Sexybolt.
Hello Seth.
I intern as a sound guy
at the back room of a bar
in Washington DC.
Oh,
international listeners.
DC,
not known sort of internationally as a music town, but it has a lot of music in Washington DC. Oh, international listeners. DC not known internationally as a music
town, but it has a lot of music
in Washington DC. Really? Yeah.
Big punk hardcore scene
in the 80s. Okay. Invented
their own form of hip hop called Go-Go
basically, that was like running parallel
to early hip hop. Really? Go-Go, yeah.
This podcast got informative quick.
Washington has a really distinct music
culture of its own.
Oh, there you go.
Anyway, the bands that play there are mostly Americana acts or Grateful Dead cover bands,
all of which usually leave something to be desired musically.
Right, fine.
No shit.
Proficient but lacking passion.
Well, shit.
I mean, I don't know Grateful Dead's music particularly.
Is it kind of folky rock?
They had like a hundred albums.
So there's like quite a
range of different styles but what is there's mostly known for it's like country rock yeah
okay psychedelic more psychedelic and sort of cosmic in the early days okay and all verging
into country okay and americana so like a british genesis american beauty is one of their
most critically lauded
albums
and that's a really
nice album
you should check that
out
I'll give that a go
for the sake of
I'm exposing myself
nice close harmonies
sort of like
Crosby Stills
National Young
that kind of
close harmony stuff
you've got to
make it in
America
I don't think
that's by then
I like it
anyway
all of which
leaves something
to be desired
musically
so he's there behind the bar thinking Christ it, it's another fucking Grateful Dead covers band.
I'm going to get paid 120.
It's killing me inside.
Yeah.
The kitchen staff, and I bet the Americano got mustaches and stupid antique looking instruments.
And they're terrible.
Anyway.
Unnecessary amounts of leather.
The kitchen staff are some of the most interesting people I've ever met.
Two of them are flat earthers.
Oh, God.
Here we go.
Two of them are
ex-government employees
because it's a government town
in Washington, of course.
And the rest are
just as eccentric.
My internship is bookended
by a 45-minute commute
often spent listening
to your show.
Well, thank you, Seth.
Oh, I'm glad
we get you home safe.
Ever since I've started the job,
I've kept my eye out
for a story worthy of being
on Tales from the Shop Floor.
Nothing came up,
so I've decided to make this one up.
He didn't actually say that,
but I bet he fucking has.
You don't know that.
I doubt.
I doubt everyone.
It's nice that you've got your sceptical head on, Silverman.
Don't get me wrong.
You know, flat earthers.
I know, but I'm just saying,
let's give them all the benefit of the doubt.
I've just looked at something. There's a thing
down here I've looked at.
If they're revealed to have been a liar
afterwards, we will deal with them accordingly.
Okay. Alright. You ready for the story? Here we go.
The time I had to curse out a room
full of drunk yuppies on St. Patrick's Day.
Nah. Okay, you're saying that
wasn't good enough? Not good enough. Right.
Nah. Get the fuck out of here
not scatological enough oh the time i got back to my mixer shame that that's what our podcast
means to people now it's better when it's got more shit in it's just makes me sad
love into this show the time i got back to my mixer and a fader was missing
no not scatological enough.
And also, mate, no offence, a bit boring that, innit?
Like you lost your fader.
Well, he's not going to sell us.
I know.
I like this.
It's the first DJ we've had.
That we know of.
Yeah.
I mean, he's come out as a DJ.
He's come back now.
Tales from the Shop Floor's genesis was Tales from the Dance Floor.
Yeah.
And he's tying those two strains together.
He's mingling the streams, Paul.
Yes, he's crossing the streams.
He's crossing the streams.
Mingling the streams.
I don't know.
I know.
Go on.
I don't know what they fucking say in that film, do I?
Fucking cunts.
Go on.
Cunts out there.
Cunts.
Come round here.
Cunts round there.
Come round here.
Cunts round there.
So that wasn't
scatological enough either.
The time man
dressed in drag
performed in front of
a room full of children.
I still want to hear that one.
Not as obscene
as you'd think.
It was a musical number
that called for it
and also not
scatological enough.
Oh, okay.
End of paragraph.
Right.
Two word phrase
standing alone in the middle of this letter, paragraph. Right. Two-word phrase standing alone
in the middle of this letter, Paul.
Right.
You'll never guess.
Diarrhea wall.
Full stop, it says.
Oh!
Diarrhea wall.
That's a big gambit.
The words echoed off the walls
like a call of a canary
in a coal mine.
He's got literary...
He's being a bit flowery.
All right, fair enough.
A coal mine covered in shit.
Ugh.
I could say Paul wasn't making that noise because he was disgusted by the idea. A coal mine covered in shit. I could say Paul
wasn't making that noise because he was disgusted
by the idea of a coal mine covered in shit.
It's because he just had another sip of the
wine abyss. And it's
grotty. It's horrible. It's like a drinking
copper. Yeah, it's really horrible.
It's really horrible. Okay, so here
is the story. Here we go. He decided to select the
diarrhea stall. Wall story.
I'm getting comfy here we go
the night before
was seemingly
uninventful
two singer songwriter
guitar guys
in a small crowd
fair enough
the next morning
however
I heard that the janitor
discovered something
dreadful
yeah
someone said
the bathroom
walls were covered
in shit
I'll just get it
right out there
naturally I went to see for myself.
Not diarrhoea wall, but
indeed, diarrhoea floor.
The toilet and
surrounding area were pretty heavily coated
in brown. It'd been
left overnight, and it reeked.
Funnily enough, my pal
the janitor...
The janitor?
The pal the janitor.
My pal the janitor and I were more impressed than disgusted by the sheer amount of coverage this person was capable of.
How do you do that without making a concerted effort to do so?
You don't know what happened.
You don't know what went on in there.
What do you think went on in there?
So that someone fires liquid
ass shit all over walls and
floors. I think he must have got his hands involved
in the spreadage. You think there's a bit of
smearing going on? There's a bit of smearing. So it's not like
projectile forced arse eruptions.
You think he's just gushing
right onto his hands directly and then
spreading it all out.
I think he probably starts off by
squitting on one area of the wall and then spreading it all out. Spreading it all out. No, I think probably starts off by squitting on one area of the wall
and then once the paint's on the wall...
No wonder we're never going to win an award of any kind.
Once the paint's on the wall, so to speak, Paul...
Then he gets the rollers out.
No, this is working.
This is working.
Once the paint's on the wall from his...
So he shits into some kind of receptacle so he can get a roller out?
No, no, no.
He shits on the wall.
Right.
He's got enough fucking stream strength.
He gets enough of a pressure.
A brown, watery stream, a hose strength.
Yeah.
A sloppy brown hose worth gush.
Once the paint's on the wall, he gets out the rollers, so to speak.
In this case, his hands.
His hands.
And he smears it.
And he just smears it up and out and across.
That's the end of the story.
Oh, there was someone shat on a wall.
This is what this has come down to.
This is what people think of this show.
I just thought I'd share.
Great, thanks, sexy bot.
P.S. I found Eli's platters about
Keith Armstrong, artsy harmonica guy.
Fascinating. Thank you, Seth.
Thank you, Seth. Well, I mean... Someone's shat on a wall.
Come on. We could do better
than that. I appreciate Seth for, you know,
making an effort and like...
Yeah, but you know. There was no
dead pensioners. There's no
dead pensioners at all, unfortunately.
There's no spoff mixed in with the shit.
No. No. Oh, I'm making myself
filthy.
Let's get on with the show. Okay.
Have some more.
Are we recording, by the way? I am recording right now, yeah.
Have some more wine, Abyss. Alright.
Oh, God. it's really unpleasant
I don't know why
you're doing that
I can get you
a drink
you want a drink
no I'm going to drink
all this now
because let's be honest
if I don't drink this now
you will not drink it
I'm not going to drink
any more of it
and I don't want it
to go to waste
because you know
a lot of
oh god this is
fucking horrible
you're going to vomit
I'm not
I'm going to make you vomit
no I won't
not on one bottle of wine
9% you're taking the whole bottle are you yeah I'm going to make you vomit. No, I won't. Not on one bottle of wine.
Nine percent.
You're taking the whole bottle, are you?
Yeah, I'm going to go for the whole bottle.
This is what's happening on this episode, because everyone loves drunk comedy podcasts.
Oh, God.
So let's do that then, shall we? Because that's what's trendy.
People getting drunk to be funny.
So let's do that then, shall we?
Let's drink.
Let's debase ourselves.
Let's bring alcohol into it, because we're insecure of our own
necessary skills i mean don't get me wrong cheap shows shit and random at the best of times but we
never drink during the show do we sometimes you do once when i had that skull and the christmas
party and the christmas party so twice all right twice now. So that's three times. More than a woman to me.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Sunlight Lounge,
where we play the platters that matter all night long.
And we've got some barnstormers coming up for you.
Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to have a lovely night here
at the Moonlight Lounge at Pontins in Skegness.
And we just want you to know that you're more than a woman.
More than a woman to me
hello ladies and gentlemen oh god did i show you that video of bob monkhouse on a on youtube where he's doing a show at butlin's no fucking excellent mate what does he do he does it's such an american
style show so he comes on kind of meager and stuff, but then there's a band, and he does literally the,

out of sight.
La, la, la,

make it tomorrow.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm Bob Mungo,
and it's so slick.
That's good.
And you think,
it's Butland,
though.
And this was in
the late 70s, early 80s, when going to Butland still mattered, and you'd still's Butland and this was in late 70s
early 80s
when going to Butland
still mattered
and you'd still get
good entertainment
but Monkhouse
is good entertainment
wasn't it
yeah
and it's interesting
because he talks
he gossips a bit
and he slags off
Bruce Forsythe
a little bit
I'll put that video
on our website
on the Cheap Show
website for this episode
it's great
but every now and then
he just literally goes
to the band
points
clicks his fingers
and the band kicks in. He goes,
he's got a drill.
It's beautiful.
Because he's not a great singer, Bob Monkhouse.
But he sells it because of the speed.
You know what I mean? Do it fast.
Do it fast and get out. Get in, get out, get in.
It's just beautiful to watch, actually.
Now, Paul, what are we doing in this segment?
Exactly. You're losing control of the segments. You're the master of the segments. What? No, he's starting to watch, actually. Now, Paul. What are we doing in this segment? Exactly. You're losing control of the segments.
You're the master of the segments.
What?
No, he's starting to attack me now for nothing.
I didn't say anything.
I called you master of the segments.
I think that's a good title.
Master of segments.
Yes.
Okay.
I am the master of segments.
Master of segments.
Ah.
The people.
The people, master.
The people. Master. The people, Master, the people.
I know.
I call you segment.
You are segment, my little helper.
No, no.
Now, I'm your little helper.
Section.
Segment.
No, you're section.
I'm section, aren't I?
You're section, my little helper.
Now, Master of the segments.
Yes!
Master, the people have spoken.
Yes, they have.
There's murmurings of dissent amongst the people.
Dissent? Yes. How shall we fix this accursed murmurings of dissent amongst the people. Dissent?
Yes.
How shall we fix this accursed moment? They want to know what the next segment will be,
and only you know.
Only you can tell them,
and you must broadcast this to them
for their faith in you.
As master of segments,
you haven't announced any segments in a while.
And I love you, master.
Ye obliterate.
I think...
Don't go suck my dick, Joe. Just avoid that for a moment. I wasn you, Master. Ye obliterate. I think... Don't go suck my dick, Joe.
Just avoid that for a moment.
I wasn't going to.
Yeah, I don't know, though.
I know, Master.
I don't know, though.
I wasn't.
I don't know, though.
I'll go back to my cave, then.
I just wanted to say that.
You don't want to suck my dick?
No, absolutely not.
No, Master of Segments, you're a eunuch in this world.
I'm not a eunuch.
Don't go spreading that around.
Fuck off, Segments. You've got no dick to suck, Master. How dare you? You have known. master of segments you're a eunuch in this world I'm not a eunuch don't go spreading that around fuck off segment
you've got no dick
to suck master
how dare you
you have known
mine is well known
throughout the land
no it's a proper
proper
action man
all smooth
is it a market
atop a beach ball
no
it's not even that
how dare you
I'm sorry master
well then there'll be
no more segments
no more segments until you say I've got a big dick.
The people won't be happy with the lack of segments.
You say I've got a big dick and I'll bring the segments back.
You have a big dick.
Thank you.
Now, Master of Segments, will you announce the next segment?
The next segment is Silverman's Platter.
Thanks, Paul.
You're fucking dead afterwards, segment.
I'm going to fucking kill you.
Paul, can we step outside this for a moment?
I just want to say,
it's not helping,
the fact that you're downing that wine.
Is it starting to taste better, is it?
Yeah.
It's starting to go down easy now, is it?
It's easier now, yeah.
Unlike the segment character from that last sketch,
it would not go down.
Can I go back into the character now
just for a bit
no
let's enjoy this
wonderful moment
with Silverman
as we enjoy
Silverman's
platter
I don't have a
small dick
I promise you
I promise you
it's like
you're a eunuch
that's how you get
the role
it's like a
fucking huge
big hammer
no it may have been big originally do you mean why is it a eunuch that's how you get the role it's like a fucking huge big hammer no it may have been
big originally
do you mean
why is it a eunuch's role
to be king of segments
because the master
of segments
master of segments
it goes back
for thousands of years
and it's compulsory
it's a clan of
specialist eunuchs
and I've got to be
unicised
yes
why
in order to be
master of segments
well I'm breaking the form
I don't want to do it
well it's too late now
you've grown up.
You had it chopped when you were a little boy.
Why is my voice so deep?
Because they train them to do that.
No, it's got my balls afire.
I'm leaving my balls on.
Well, you're one of those kind of eunuchs.
They just take the dick off.
There's no such thing as a eunuch.
Will they just take the dick off?
There might be.
It's all right.
What do you want to be? What kind of eunuch do you want to be? Do you want the whole lot or just take the dick off? It might be. It's alright. What do you want to be? What kind of unit do you want to be?
Do you want the whole lot or just take the dick off?
No, you could
just take the dick off. Now,
I'd rather keep the dick.
I know. Would you? Yeah.
If I'm going to lose anything, can you imagine
just how ugly it looks if you're just balls?
It's not going to look good.
This is tickle,'s. It's not going to look good. This is tickled, Paul.
This subject is tickled, Paul.
And the wine.
It's not good, Paul, that you're drinking the wine.
More than a woman.
Now, it's silverman platters.
More than a woman to me.
Oh, God.
He's loading up on wine abyss.
Here we go.
You have to keep some in the bottle, take a photo of it.
Yeah?
Take a photo of that now.
And let me do a bit of Silverman's Platters.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to shut up and take a picture
while he explains what we're doing today,
which is a very special, I think, Silverman's Platters.
The stench of that fucking
vinegary wine is awful.
So bad.
Shitty wine. Now, Silverman's Platters
these days, we are going to talk about a couple of
platters that I have, but this is
in conjunction with a little book
that I spotted that we've
ordered and has arrived today.
Wobbly Sounds, a collection of British...
You're nowhere near the microphone.
Please talk into it.
Wobbly Sounds, a collection of British flexi-discs.
Now, in the past on this show,
we have touched on flexi-discs.
I've touched on a flexi-disc.
I've touched on a few flexi-discs.
I have to fam it in half.
It was too flexi.
Fam it up. I don't know what that laugh was
like
fam it up
until you get near it
fam it up
fold it up
oh
we have fun
now
what you mustn't do with actual flexi discs is...
Stick them on your arse.
Paul, I'm going to have to confiscate the wine.
I am going to have to confiscate the wine, mate.
Come on, man.
We've got to do another.
We're only halfway through this episode.
All right, here we go.
Okay, so, Elo, we got a book online, didn't we?
Who's it by?
Johnny Trunk.
You said it sounded like it was a fake name.
Of Trunk Records.
Okay.
Now, I don't know, avid listeners may have heard
on a previous Silverman's Platters,
we covered the...
I honestly don't know.
David Bowie project. The guy who was like David Bowie, that Bowie... I honestly don't know, I'm sorry. David Bowie project...
The guy who was like David Bowie, that Bowie was doing
an impression of when he first came out. Anthony Newley? Yes.
Okay. Anthony Newley and
Delia Derbyshire of the
Radiophonic Orchestra. Did Weebly
Hooblies or something? Moogly
Booglies. Moogly Booglies! Which was
a 7-inch released by
Johnny Trunk on his Trunk Records. Now,
he's a
record label owner.
Okay, like an independent, I'd imagine. Yes.
He's got his own small independent label.
Releases a lot of interesting stuff.
So, he'll do reissues of Delia Derbyshire albums.
Yeah. And radiophonic stuff.
He also is an
expert on library music.
Oh, okay. Library music
and
soundtrack stuff. Of course course there's a lot of
overlap in that world yeah you can imagine a lot of library stuff it starts off as library and
someone will use it on a soundtrack for example so he's a real expert at that yeah and he reviews
that kind of stuff uh but he's into just strange audio stuff in general so and i love that though
because that for me is far more interesting than
people popping on about the beatles lost album works or you know an ultra rare copy of sergeant
pestle just the stuff we've heard yeah but this stuff that he uncovers is stuff no one has ever
heard but such is redolent of that time yes uh for example he's into quite obscure weird stuff
like found footage style audio um i know for a fact he's really into radio,
sorry, train announcement recordings.
Oh, you mentioned that last time, I think,
where you said about he just...
He likes train announcement recordings.
So literally, this is...
This is your captain speaking.
No, this is not your captain speaking.
Oh.
No, it's like, hello, this is your head steward.
Head steward?
Head steward. There's something like that. Train this is your head steward. Head steward? Head steward.
There's something like that.
Train commander.
Train commander steward.
The buffet will be open from this time.
Those announcements.
But as you say, they're recorded in situ.
Like someone holds a recorder.
On a train, yeah, yeah.
And you get ones from quite a long time ago
and they have a certain interest
because they used to say different things
about the sandwiches and stuff.
I can't remember if we've touched on this before on the show,
but that found footage of those two guys who live in America,
the Shut Up Little Man, Ray and something or other.
We talked about the two old men.
Yes.
And how the next door neighbours, these two guys,
would lean out with a microphone and record their rants and arguments.
Was it two people recording them?
Yeah.
And then they saw those and they went,
I love that.
It's troubling to listen to that audio at times,
but it's like if Derek and Clive were real people
and lived in the Bronx.
They just argued for years.
They just argued.
Horrible, though.
Just like, people say,
oh, this podcast is me and you
belittling each other for an hour or so.
Yeah, but there, it's nasty.
They're at each other's throats every day.
It's like, why don't you fucking die?
Why don't you fuck off and die,
you useless little man?
But why do they live with each other?
Because it's America.
Are they a gay couple?
No, I just think, I don't know about that,
but it looks like they're just two guys
who because of monetary reasons and where they live,
they have to share a place and fucking hate each other.
And it's just, sometimes you listen to it and it's a laugh
and sometimes you think,
how have they not fucking shot each other in the head?
So that's Johnny Trunk and Trunk Records.
Yeah.
But he has written a little book, like a coffee table, a photo book.
Yeah.
Wobbly Sounds, a collection of British flexi discs.
Now, shall we explain what flexi discs are to maybe some of our younger listeners?
Yes.
Vinyl records were a thing for a long time, still are a thing, Paul.
And that's what this section's about.
They're coming back.
Eli's platters.
But adjacent to that was a thing known as a flexi-disc,
which was a vinyl record but printed on sort of a flexible plastic,
much thinner than an actual record.
The grooves were printed onto a very thin sheet of plastic.
And it was flexible so that it could conform to a
magazine cover, for example.
So it's much easier to put
onto a magazine or attach to some
pamphlet as a free item.
You can store much more of them
per sort of cubic and they're
flexible, so they'll go through a letterbox
or they'll survive
some kind of flexing, won't they?
He passed me that book very briefly
what i will say is because i had a read of it before i brought it over and they were saying
initially this wasn't like even though it's popular the 50s 60s 70s it was banging around
a few decades beforehand because there was like audio postcodes where you could record post record
onto postcard so was that the original form of this technology yeah yeah in its very basic form
you could record it send it to a relative
across the other side of the United States
and then they would do the same back.
And that's an idea that was in lots of different forms.
I remember watching on Techmoan.
Yeah.
He covered like a cassette system
or he's done more than one different cassette formats
that were meant to be...
Like DCC and things like that.
No, that were meant to be letters,
like a whole system. Remember that thing with a handheld thing it was like uh oh yeah vaguely vaguely post
it yeah post the tape and it's sort of like an audio telegram sort of thing oh yeah the recordable
paper yeah and things like that things like that yeah yeah yeah so they talk about that and how
that evolved into how it became mostly used in the 50s and 60s as advertising but then as i say people
started using promotional items yeah by and large in the uk if you got a flexi disc as part of a
promotion or on front of a magazine it came from this company called lintone okay so they were the
they were the big manufacturers it was like 90 percent of the time you bought something it was
probably from their factory they're the biggest manufacturers of flexis and this was a company
that was um based in the UK, obviously.
And the book is fascinating because it goes into a lot
it gives a little bit of background to
the Flexie disc. But it's mainly the photos, isn't it?
And he's got them ranging all the way up to
the early 90s. Very early
90s. The last one he's got is from 93.
Because they did
then started being used on
music magazines as a way of giving out free
Yeah. The way that you
get cds still to this day they'll give you a cd on the cover of mojo or whatever yeah they will
still and it's like there's a there's a situation where i was in a record store in cambridge and
they had a whole box of flexies but mostly they were all taken from karang magazines it was like
yeah two songs per side usually very rare doublesided ones, which are rarer.
Usually a Flexi will only have one side
with an actual groove on it.
A big recognisable band is your A,
and on the B would be the new band you never heard of
but give this one a listen to.
And that was interesting.
And they also had, I can't remember exactly what it was,
but they had like darts championship stuff
with like darts matches and music. I can't remember exactly what it was but they had like darts championship stuff were like darts matches
and music i can't remember exactly what it was but it was very strange flexi discs that obviously
came from like a darts magazine or something random like that so it became from what apparently
this book says mostly used to sell or promote or promotional and adverts ones are the main things
and they weren't always in a standard size I've got one
which is like
a little
we're going to discuss
a few of the flexes
that I've picked up
yeah
because we have done
one or two on the past
on the show
we've done
the promotion for
Isle of Man
which I couldn't locate today
but is one of my favourites
because it is quite funny
I believe that's on
the episode with beck hill welcome to the isle of man welcome to the sea and the sand and the fun of our family beaches
where we asked just a few of our visitors what they were particularly enjoying
oh the sun is marvelous oh yes. Oh yes, we're having
a wonderful time. It's lovely.
I find it
very nice for family. It's quite important to do.
Well, I like the boat trip,
but we've had a
walk along the prom. We went to
Madame Tussauds Waxworks
back there.
The ice cream.
Smashing ice cream. That's been fried for a long time. The lard on that side, the paris side, it was very good. The lard was so immensely.
It's been a nice island. I think it's been one of the best holidays I've ever been.
I think it's been one of the best holidays I've ever been.
The whole independent kingdom of man revolves around your holiday pleasure.
That's the message of this record.
And of the chairman of the Isle of Man tourist board, Clifford Abbey.
The people you've been listening to are only a few, a very few of our visitors.
I'm not going to say they're typical because nobody's typical.
They're all individuals like you.
And the great thing about the Isle of Man is that it lets you make your holiday what you want it to be.
The one thing these people have in common is the welcome they've had.
A warm, sincere welcome which I now extend to you. The kind of welcome that really makes you feel like someone special.
The book with this record tells you exactly how to get here and where to stay. Look at it now.
Make it your first step towards your holiday in the Isle of Man.
And then we did the one you got on your wall,
the engine fault record. See it now, I've got an engine,
that's a classic Flexi, isn't it?
Which is just literally the sounds
of different parts of an engine.
So when you...
Having a fault.
Yes. So identify a fault. Yes.
So identify a fault with. So you turn your engine on and it goes...
And you go, oh, I've got to listen to the
record to find out what that is. Oh, that's it.
Clong, clong. No, it's not that one.
Bugger, bugger, bugger, bugger. Not that one.
Oh, it's that one. No, that doesn't sound
the same. Shut up or fuck off.
Why?
Well, you've got to try and be careful.
Why? That's you've got to try and be careful.
Why?
That's what you said.
First.
Yeah.
And then the gasket's gone.
Yeah.
The flange gasket's gone.
Yes.
And also, there's something wrong with your car.
Oh, madam, your flange gasket's gone.
And also, your car's broken. And you've got a great big hairy cunt.
Piston slap, caused by a worn bore, is a rapid tinkling, not unlike pinking.
This is piston slap on a two-stroke.
slap on a two-stroke. Unless the wear is severe, the noise disappears when the engine is hot.
Here's the same engine when fully heated. You can't hear the piston slap now.
Now for a tricky little noise that an expert mechanic will soon spot.
It's the crack of an electric spark jumping to earth from a leaky high tension lead. The insulation has broken down and the result is uneven firing. This is the same engine with a new high tension lead fitted to the sparking plug.
Read how you can fix all these faults and many others in Motorcycle Mechanics magazine.
Wise riders buy Motorcycle Mechanics regularly.
Every month there are dozens of pages devoted to maintenance and overhaul of all types of machines.
Cheerio, and watch how you ride.
Yeah.
Right.
So, this is a fucking fantastic book.
It's a fucking great book. It's only a tenner by the way
Really fascinating and it's just so
it really
it's the ephemera that really captures
which is adverts and promotional things
that really captures the time
And they're actually quite beautiful as well
You look at some of them and even though it's like chintzy
of its day, the graphics
design and stuff is just beautiful
The photographs of women with the graphics design and stuff is just beautiful the photographs of women
with the perfume and it looks great because most of them or some of them are picture discs so they
have got the image and the color and the face and all this stuff upon it yes so i've picked out
actually a few pages i wanted to talk about but let's play what are the ones you've got because
you've got a few flexi discs haven't you uh yes um in fact i've got a
couple which are the sort of uh private eye ones and he he has kept because private i did a lot
yeah they did a few that are very similar in here to the ones i have actually 60s private eye ones
yeah i mean i can't i don't want to put pictures up on the website from the books i think if people
want to get the book they should just read it i don't want to spoil it by taking pictures and put it up on our website.
But I will put a picture up of the book.
I'm going to go talk about the ones I have here.
Yeah.
So this is one called the BBC Gnome Service.
And that's...
Is that a private eye?
I believe it must be because it's got that same sticker, doesn't it?
Yeah, similar to the one you see printed in the book.
Because as I say, the book is full of pictures of different types of flexis
and sometimes just the labels.
And this is a plain black flexi with one small sticker
that says the BBC Nine service.
Yeah.
And it says Prestium Limited.
So they may be the publishers of Private Eye.
Okay.
So it's got 33 and a third RPM.
Yeah.
And it's pastiche satire of the time, isn't it?
It is sort of similar to what came later with the Pythons and stuff, isn't it?
When did it come out?
I'm sure it's...
Well, because I read this book about psychedelic music,
which mentions a song that's on this FlexiDisc, weirdly.
Which is the Dudley Moore track.
What was it?
Peter Cook.
Let's do psychedelics or something.
It's not psychedelic wasp or something, is it?
It doesn't matter, mate.
It's a weird...
We're going to listen to some of it now.
Yeah, I'm going to play a little bit.
Why don't I just play the clip?
Here's that Dudley Moore bit.
This is the BBC Gnome Service. Here is the Newt.
Bonjour, brothers.
And now the velvet tones of whispering gymnags,
fresh from two years with the Uhuru Guru in the Himalayas. Psychedelic baby Won't you take a trip with me
Dip your lump of sugar in the LSD
We can stroll while breakers roll
Beside the orange sea
Psychedelic baby Won't you take a trip with me now.
Dip your lump of sugar in the LSD.
If you want a kinky caper, then suck the blotting paper.
Psychedelic baby.
Psychedelic babies with me.
So interestingly, in this book, Psychedelia and Other Colors, that I read, I can't remember the author.
He talks a lot about the psychedelic music movement, both here and in the States.
Very different types of things going on with the psychedelics.
Yeah.
And it's a really good book and he um
he starts talking about the the roots of all the light shows and the tape experimentation that was
going on in the 50s that led to all of this sort of multicolored led to like jean-michel jar
well eventually yeah yeah but you know what i mean he said because it wasn't just the music
that was psychedelic it was the whole light show with the oil blobs, you know, the lava lamp stuff.
Yeah, yeah.
Which was, you know,
which was like part of the whole thing
with Plink Floyd, for example,
was like the light show.
Dan, dan, dan, dan, dan,
down, down, down.
That's cringe.
I know, I know.
Just saying though,
given that I'm setting the scene,
don't be a prick.
So, interestingly in that book,
he mentions this song
that is on this Flexi,
the BBC Gnome service. Yeah. Where it where it's like oh let's do some lsd or psychedelics you'll hear it you just
heard it anyway um because i thought when you said that interestingly was like a year before
sergeant peppers came out really yeah but it's still quite like a very middle class interpretation
oh it's meant to be satire isn't it it? Yeah, but, like, I got confused.
When you first mentioned this to me,
I thought you were talking about Dudley Moore
when he did L.S. Bumblebee,
which was...
I can't remember what that was taken from.
It was off the soundtrack for Entranced.
Was it Entranced?
No, you mean Bedazzled.
Bedazzled.
I can't remember if it's from Bedazzled or not.
It is.
Oh, I should do the research, but fuck you.
No, it is from Bedazzled.
Anyway.
Funnily enough...
Draggy, draggy, Pete.
Draggy, draggy.gy bumble b lsd
or whatever is not this song there's a different song which i said bootleggers tried to pass off
as a lost beatles record that's weird so strange but that's again the joy of flexi because there's
such weird little anomalies so i've got that one and this other one, I saw Daddy kissing Santa Claus. Which is
a spin on the Christmas... A private eye
one as well. Perhaps you can play a clip of that as well.
I'll do that right now then.
Back in London, the Prime Minister, the Right Honourable
Harold Wilson.
Hello, and a merry Xmas to you
all. Here in the Hampstead
Garden suburb, I, my wife
and family are celebrating the coming of Christ
with a bottle of Sinatogen. You know, Jesus was himself a radical and a socialist, and in the same way as
he cast out the money changers from the temple, we in a socialist Britain will be attempting to
cast out the property speculators, the rachmans, the land grabbers, and the whole structure of an
effete society. And now to demonstrate that I'm not a one-man band,
I'd like the final message to come from my good friend and trusted colleague, George Brown.
George.
Come on, George, get up.
That was a Christmas message from the Right Honourable George Brown.
Finally, from Sandringham, Her Majesty the Queen.
Hello, fans.
In these days of R&B and Bluebeet,
it is important that we in the royal family
should be as fab and with it as we can.
And that is why my bloke and I would like to wish all you cats and chicks
a really swinging Christmas and a gale new year. Ciao ciao fans! Американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, американец, Now the third Flexi that I've got is a typical Flexi, isn't it?
Well, it isn't.
It's an advert thing.
Because it's presented quite nicely,
like a storybook.
It's called
The Secret of the Pasha's Magic Carpet.
And it looks like a children's book.
I heard about Pasha's Magic Carpet.
With a turban-wearing pasha.
Big, thick rug.
On a flying carpet in the cover there.
The Arabian Nights stereotype.
If you look at the back,
you can see Tredare Luxury Carpet Underlay.
Underlay!
Yiba, yiba. Yiba, yeah. Yee-bye, yee-bye.
Yee-bye, yeah.
Which is obviously who it's an advert for.
It's a strange advert, though, because what?
It's like you're telling a story to kids about this kind of...
And you can hear a bit of it now.
Oh, yeah.
Let's play a bit of this riveting fucking storytelling.
The secret of the Pasha's Magic Carpet
Once upon a time in old Arabi, there was a pasha who was very fat and very old.
He was so fat and so old, he couldn't remember when he had last seen his toes.
His name was Pasha Pasha.
Pasha Pasha.
Hasha Pasha called his Housier to him.
The Housier is like a prime minister and a holy man and a camel wrestling coach all rolled into one.
The Housier, of course, was thin and had a long grey beard.
Housier, sighed Hasha Pasha.
I am growing old and want to retire to my modest villa at El Hamamansi.
Advise me how best I can choose a young man to be Pasha after me. The Huzir scratched his beard and whispered in the Pasha's ear. Hasha Pasha nodded his several chins and said, Oh, truly, you are a wise old hosier.
So it's terrible, isn't it?
I fucking fell asleep.
Not fell asleep, but I zoned out listening to it.
It's just shit.
It's awful.
It's got no narrative.
Ignoring the casual racism.
And also there's a whole sort of of he does the voice of these Indian characters
it's like what's
a story about
a man who spoils
who gets a rug
and gets a better rug
and then gets another rug
and they buy some underlay
and it's just
boring
but that's the kind of
yeah
that's the kind of
I fascinate it
because it's so ephemeral
and so like
throw away
but again
what I like about it
is yeah
you would never get that
I should say
Daddy's Kissing Santa Claus
is also private eye
did I mention that?
I don't know if you did
but you have now.
The thing about
that kind of thing though
is that
you'd never get that
released on vinyl
because it'd be a waste of money
literally a waste of money
to do that.
So vinyl
these flex discs gave
odd little
sound experiments
a place to exist.
Yes.
These little
these things that were built
because they specifically fitted
the ephemeracy of the FlexiDisc.
That's right,
because it's cheaper,
but was cheaper.
But, Paul,
you do get some pretty ephemeral adverts
on little seven inches as well,
don't you,
as we've covered in this show?
Have we?
The Malteser,
what's it,
the Ovaltine.
Well, that was like a big song
taken from a well-known advert.
It's like when they released
like Flat Eric track,
you know,
for the Levi jeans,
the puppet thing. Yeah, well, see, well, they do. That's what I mean. That Flat Eric track, you know, for the Levi jeans, the puppet thing.
Yeah, well, see,
well, they do.
That's what I mean.
That's just as ephemeral.
I want to go through this book
very quickly
and pick out a few topics
that I was interested in.
One is, where are we?
Page 17,
which was interesting.
Here we go.
Pretty Talk,
a record that teaches
your budgie to talk.
That's so classic flexy,
isn't it?
Now, apparently,
it says here,
it's a two-sided
instructional disc
with simply the words
and phrases
clever little boy
give me a kiss
repeated endlessly
so your budgie
may catch on
but actually makes you
think the record
is scratched
yeah
that's the definition
of madness
that's a madness record
yeah
imagine that was all
you had left
on your desert island
it's like that story
I said on the podcast
years ago
about my mate
who literally put a
recording of him
saying say nipples say nipples to his budgie yeah and then his budgie won they went nipples It's like that story I said on the podcast years ago, about my mate who literally put a recording of him saying,
say nibbles, say nibbles to his budgie.
Yeah.
And then his budgie one day went, nibbles, died.
Really?
Is that true?
That's a true fucking story.
I was there when it happened.
He fucked that bird up, man.
Yeah, he did.
This one, number 68, is something I really want.
Ballmers, the Sidus people, invite you to star with Bob Monkhouse.
Bob Monkhouse keeps cropping up, doesn't he?
I know, it's a Bob Monkhouse kind of show,
which means he's probably going to...
Oh no, he's dead.
Fucking hell, Paul.
He's well dead.
He died like 15 years ago.
Paul must invite you to star with Bob Monkhouse
at your own party with this do-it-yourself comedians kit.
I'm going to look on YouTube,
and if I can find it, I'm going to put it in right now.
And here they are.
They need no introduction.
They already know each other.
Let's just say that in show business, they're the greatest act on record.
And here they come.
Thank you. Thank you. Hello, then. Thank you, thank you.
Hello there and thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
My name is Bob Monkhouse.
Well, go ahead.
Tell the people who you are.
S.
What does the S stand for?
All right.
Tell me something.
Do you know any good jokes?
Good. Well, keep quiet while I tell a few of mine.
Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what a zookey is?
You don't know what a zookey is?
Well, I'll tell you.
It's the key to it.
No, no, no, no, no. You haven't got the idea.
I do the jokes, remember?
All right.
Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what love on the rocks is?
You don't know what love on the rocks is?
Well, I'll tell you.
It's done on...
Wait a minute.
I thought you said you didn't know any jokes.
It says here in the description,
it was in 1963,
surprisingly clever party record
produced by cider maker H.P. Ballmer
presented in a gatefold sleeve
with a leaflet of instructions.
This disc allowed you to enter into a double act
with Bob Monkhouse.
Cool.
You simply talk in the gaps it leaves on the track.
Now that's famously like the Vincent Price
Be Your Own Actor, is it called?
That we've done on clickables in the past.
Did we cover that as well?
Those were actual LPs where they give you a script
and you play it.
The albums were called All Star.
And the idea is that you got this vinyl
with excerpts of plays.
It was like not only Vincent Price,
it was like Heckler and Levenso.
He wasn't the only one who did it.
No, there's a few actors.
And you got a booklet inside that had the play that you were doing excerpts of.
So you could literally, you know, in the gaps on the vinyl.
But didn't it make a noise when you were meant to speak?
No, it just went...
It's just a gap.
No, it just has a gap.
No, because that'd be really awful.
I think there was a cue noise.
No, there wasn't.
There was generally just a gap.
But do you remember also that led to...
I got the audio.
A Monty Python piss take. Do led to a Monty Python piss take?
Do you remember the Monty Python piss take?
Oh, vaguely.
Yeah, very good.
The Monty Python did a whole piss take of Be Your Own Actor.
Oh, I can't remember.
But anyway, some entertaining use of the medium too
by putting a deliberate scratch onto the record
that Bob thanks you for bumping on.
Ah.
So I would love that.
That would be one I'd love to own.
Might be quite rare.
And the problem is with flexes, Paul,
is getting them in a condition that is anywhere near playable.
Because I think we've mentioned before,
if you fold them, they become unplayable.
I've got one that I really wanted.
It's got a big fold in it.
It's got a fold.
But now it plays only because the weight of the fucking needle is so...
The downforce is so strong that it kind of holds it into place. The tracking force on your
terrible, yeah, your terrible
what's it called? Record player.
You know, but what's that fucking record
player called? Brunswick, is it?
I don't know, but that, yeah, you're right, that suitcase
you think. The suitcase shit. Yeah, I know
but it's like, I'm not a collector and I don't
But you're ruining a vinyl. You're not!
That's a fucking myth!
There's like videos that say, yeah,
they're bad machines,
but actually they're better
than the ones that exist
in the 60s.
And that's what you play
those records on
in the first place anyway.
And they seem to be still fine.
So yeah, they're not great
and not going to be
as high end as the stuff
that you own and use.
But fuck you.
For someone like me
who can't afford
to have a separate system
out there with different speakers
and an amp and everything.
You might in the future though.
Yeah, maybe.
But right now,
to get my fix,
I have one of those little things
and I use it really and I use it well and it
helps make this fucking podcast. So stick it up your
fucking arse, you fucking dirty
little prick. I'm sorry.
There's no need for that. There was no need.
I'm very defensive. I'm going to drink more wine.
Don't drink anymore.
I hate
everything about it.
Here's one.
On love, Kenny Everett and Michael Aspel.
I'd love that.
Now, I just have to say, if I found any of the ones in this book, I'd snap them up.
They really are quite hard to come by, though, aren't they?
Especially in good condition.
There have been so many I wanted to buy and then found out that there's these.
These ones are nice.
And also, I was saying about
the different formats
they do come in
lots of different formats
I mean he's obviously
picked ones that are
visually interesting
for this book
to some extent
yeah
but there's a load more
that are just interesting
just because of what they are
which might not have
any pictures on
you know
like for example
you get mini ones
you know
that are tiny
or five inch
and even smaller
three inch ones
yeah that are just, or five inch and even smaller, three inch ones.
Yeah.
That are just excerpts from the music from the love story.
Oh, a little snippet, yeah.
Stuff like that.
So this one, Kenny Everett, Michael Aspel,
White Elephant Productions, 74,
begins as a spoof of a porn flexi,
which is a thing that apparently exists then.
Porn flexis existed.
Maybe there's a flexi that they put on porn mags and it was like, read his wife's letters
and they just read them out. My wife likes
it when I put a fucking chicken drumstick up here
fucking wet, sopping munter.
Munter? Yeah, and then I fucking
lick it out and I go, finger licking good, love.
And then she goes, eww, and queefs in my
gob. Fucking hell.
Sorry.
Paul, we need to curtail this. Anyway, it settles into an Everett-style broad. Queefs in my gob. Fucking hell. Sorry. Paul, we need to curtail this.
Anyway, it settles into an Everett-style broadcast.
Queefs in my gob.
Jesus.
I'm sorry.
Fucking hell, Paul.
Anyway, it settles into an Everett-style broadcast.
That obviously means cut-ups and sound effects and all kinds of stuff.
He was a master of that stuff, wasn't he?
Yeah, we've spoken to him before.
You know, he loved the soundscapes.
On his home studio. He taped his own different versions of his shows and sent them out, wasn't he? Yeah, we've spoken to him before. You know, he loved the soundscapes. On his home studio, he taped his own different versions of his shows
and sent them out, didn't he?
Yeah, to multiple stations at the same time,
with different idents and things like that when needed.
So there were different versions?
Yeah, it was the same basic show, but he'd cut in a different ident.
But he didn't need to do that.
He did because of the situation he put himself in,
where he was on various stations at the same time,
and he couldn't be there
all the time
so he sent
he did one live
and they didn't want
the same show
no
to be broadcast
on all the different stations
you're thinking about
they have a different
musical playlist
for a star
so he would have to
curate all that
obviously the ident
would be different
but he preferred
to be at home
and they have to be
timed out to the hour
so he hits the news
and he knows where
his ins and outs are
so it's
he's editing them
down to the second
to get it on air.
But why did he want to do it
not because he had to do so many?
Is that why he went turned to doing it at home?
I mean, I don't know
the largest amount of information
about Kenny Everett,
but I just got the impression
that his career eventually led him
to be in a situation
where he was doing multiple shows
and multiple edits
and sending them out.
I'll probably be corrected
by someone who knows more,
but frankly, fuck him. I wonder how many of his, what was his video show called?
The video show?
Kenny Everett video show, yeah.
By Barry Cryer writing for it.
That was the first time, one of the first things I remember watching on TV.
I vividly remember the Do You Think I'm Sexy video.
Yes, so do I.
With arse exploding.
It's funny.
She was big in the playground, that character.
What's she called?
Big Fanny or whatever she was.
What are you talking about, Big Fanny? You know, isn't necessarily whatever, in the playground. What was that character? What's she called? Big Fanny or whatever she was. What are you talking about?
Big Fanny.
You know, isn't necessarily whatever with the legs.
Toya Wilcox.
No, the character he did.
Cupid Stunt.
Cupid Stunt.
In the best possible taste.
It's all in the best possible taste.
Which we'll talk about in a future episode because we're going to touch on comedians and rapping.
Ah.
Yeah?
Yes.
We should do because I really didn't want to talk about that.
Yes, we're going to cover that.
There's an upcoming platters. That's better, Michael.
Now, what did you want to talk about?
What?
Yes.
Love.
Love.
Love means never having to say you're sorry that you've got wind.
The purest form of love is a man's love for his daughter, they say.
I fancy mine.
Have you ever had unrequited love?
Would you love her?
What's unrequited mean?
Unrequited means that you don't get it back.
Oh, yes, yes.
I had that.
Where are you now, Margaret Parnell?
Where are you now, Henry?
Sandra's dead, actually.
But, oh, I loved her deeply, that girl.
Mine didn't have a deeply.
She loved Jim Healy.
What, the minister?
Yeah, him as well.
She loved everybody.
Old Jim.
Everybody but me.
Oh, I was a repulsive youth.
But look what I turned into.
A repulsive old foot.
Let me tell you, there's a quote here from D.H. Lawrence.
Can I have echo for this, please?
Right.
Are we on?
Yes.
The moment I swear to love a woman, a certain woman all my life,
that moment I begin to hate her.
The moment I even say to a woman, I love you,
my love dies down considerably.
Luckily, that's not my problem, so it's all right.
Do you want to come out of the echo chamber now?
I was still in.
Yes, you are, you're in.
All right, here we go.
That's better.
Yes, that's absolutely true.
As soon as you say I love you to somebody, they go,
oh, yes, nice day.
Yes.
Unless they love you back,
in which case they explode in a flagorism of ecstasy
they do chuck it about that phrase
I think there's one or two more I want to talk about
128, page 128
I want to know what this is
if I can find the audio I'm going to put it in
I'm the noodle doodle man
John Pertwee, it was for Heinz
and it's a two sided
flexi, which again is reasonably rare
with John Pertwee who was the third doctor or Wurzel Gummage It was Fort Hines, and it's a two-sided Flexi, which, again, is reasonably rare.
With John Pertwee, who was the third doctor, or Wurzel Gummidge.
Oh, yeah.
Wurzel Gummidge.
Here we go.
I was in McDonald's.
Da-da-da-da-da.
Having a shit.
Da-da-da-da-da.
And then I came out.
Da-da-da-da-da.
And I looked at it.
Right, great.
No, come on.
No, I was enjoying that.
Da-da-da-da-da.
I took it out. Da-da-da-da-da. Right, off the No, come on. No, I was enjoying that. I took it out.
Right, off the pan.
Why?
I keep saying da-da-da-da-da.
And then I said,
I'm a shitty loving man and I've got shitty.
Oh, I've got some shitty hands.
Here's a song, Eli.
Da-da-da-da-da.
There are two mucky boys
who do a little pod.
And every time they speak,
shit comes out of their gob.
Because it's so scatological.
It's causing a fuss.
We're never gonna win an award
because we're us.
Because we're us.
And we talk about
shit.
Because we're cheap show.
How we
don't give a fuck about it.
Some elderly
gentlemen are eating burgers in front of me. Not elderly.
Maybe like 50s.
And they're going oh cat weasel this, cat weasel that. Who was cat weasel? gentlemen are eating burgers in front of me. Not elderly. Maybe like 50s. Yeah. In their 50s.
And they're going,
oh, Catweasel this, Catweasel that. Who was Catweasel?
For those who don't know, Catweasel was a show in the 70s about this weird
trampy guy you got into a scratch.
And was he played by John Pertwee? No.
Then they start talking about John Pertney.
Pertwee. Who was this John Pert...
Who was that guy? He played.
Who was he? John Pertwee. He played this guy.
It was a show. It wasn't Catweasel. It he John Pertwee he played this guy it was a show it wasn't Cat Weasel
it was John Pertwee
and he changed his head
he changed his head
and I'm like
that's Wurzel Gummidge
they'll get it soon
they'll remember it's Wurzel Gummidge
everyone remembers Wurzel Gummidge
but no
they keep trying to remember
what that fucking thing was
for about two minutes
Cat Weasel
and I'm like
I shouldn't
I know what it is
and I want to tell them
I want to impart
this information to them
you know
so
I just say quite loudly
because they keep going
keep trying to progress
I'm just like
Wurzelgummage
they ignore me
say that out loud
they ignore me
yeah
I'm just behind them
you went
Wurzelgummage
yeah
Wurzelgummage
they'll go
oh yeah
Wurzelgummage
there'll be some
hearing contact
through osmosis
they'd suck it in yeah or they'd go oh he's just said Wurzelgummage that'll go, oh yeah, Wurzelgummidge. There'll be some hearing. There'll be some hearing. And through osmosis, they'd suck it in.
Yeah.
Or they'd go, oh, he's just said Wurzelgummidge.
That's the words that I was trying to remember.
Nothing.
Nothing.
And then I said, Wurzelgummidge!
And then I said, thrice.
Wurzelgummidge!
Nothing.
And then I felt like, I'm the mad one.
You're the mad one shouting Wurzelgummidge.
I'm like, okay, fine.
You're on your own sitting there.
And every now and then you go, Wurzel Gummidge!
Yeah, I know.
You fucking idiot.
I hate them.
I hate those people.
John Pertwee singing as the Noodle Doodle Man
covered in Heinz tomato sauce.
Let's see.
Can I see the cover?
I didn't see the cover of that one.
It's like a weird cartoon thing,
obviously in a paper bag.
Of a Noodle Doodle Man.
Yeah.
Oh, that's excellent.
I'm the Noodle Doodle Man. Yes, the Noodle Doodle Man
Yes, the Noodle Doodle Man
I take spaghetti and I doodle cars
And books and stars and threes
And lots and lots of shapes like these
I'm the Noodle Doodle Man
Noodle doodles come, of course
In the Heinz tomato sauce
You'll love my recipe
For snacks or lunch or tea.
Heinz Noodle Doodles, yum, yum, yum, food's ever been such fun.
I'm the Noodle Doodle Man, yes, the Noodle Doodle Man, with a doodling mind and shapes of every kind. A triangle for a start, then a ladder and a heart. A pussycat, a bowler
hat, in Heinz tomato sauce of course, a diamond and a mouse. Here's a horseshoe and a house.
shoe and the house.
I give you all the shapes I can.
I'm the Noodle Doodle
Man.
And then go to the last one,
page 136, and tell me what you see.
Ah, a little
keyboard demonstration.
Saturn H
and Saturn 2.
Little keyboard demonstration fucking records, mate.
Little plingity-plongities.
What am I going to do?
Go to 136 and tell me what the vinyl is there.
Ah, this is Leather Sex Orgy, 1981.
One-sided freebie disc from Rapier magazine.
Yeah.
Not Rapier magazine, which is probably what it kind of is.
Unconvincingly, grubby chat between two ladies leading to even less convincing dominatrix scenes with a male slave client.
Hello.
I'm Bulb.
Well, it's unconvincing, though, Paul.
Oh, I'm Jemima.
What are you going to do for us, Jemima?
What do you want, love?
I've been in this game for 40 years.
I've sucked them all.
I've sucked them big and I've sucked them small.
Oh, yeah.
Whatever you want, sunshine.
I'll do it.
Okay.
What do you want?
What have you got?
I mean, just tell me.
Just give me a little option.
My imagination's...
For four pound, I'll rest your
cock on my top lip and lick
it with my tongue until you spunk.
Well, that sounds like a blowjob, I mean.
It's not quite because it doesn't go in my mouth, does it?
Smart arse.
For ten pound, you can
put it all the way down me throat
and push it in and out, in and out,
in and out until you cum.
That's a tenner.
That is a blowjob, though.
That is one, yeah, but I don't call it that.
What's number three?
I call it a tongue supreme.
I'd like a number three with cashews.
All right, well, for 40 pen,
oh, you can get your fingers in meat if you want them.
That seems a bit steep.
Oh, fucking...
And then if you want for 50 pound,
you can touch my arsehole with your bare knuckle.
There you go, right in.
You can push up to your wrist.
That's what I'm good at.
That's why they call me.
You've forgotten the name you used at the beginning of this intro.
Jeremy Jemima.
Oh, Jemima, good.
Thank you.
Now, there's that. I'm ashamed to be a part of this podcast. Jeremy Jemima oh Jemima good thank you you cunt now
there's that
and then
I'm ashamed to be a part
of this podcast
well I'm ashamed of you
yeah you should be
there's another one here
Paul that I think
deserves a mention
yeah go on
Noel Edmonds
finds out about Barclay
Noel Edmonds
is like
the
he's just
he's on a lot of
flexi discs
yes
because he's on
another one
they mention in there like the ready and he's also a lot of flexi discs. Yes. Because he's on another one they mention in there,
like the Ready Breck.
Okay, and he's also, he's a flexi disc kind of guy, isn't he?
And he was also on that weird Hallmark advert, 7-inch.
Day to remember.
Yeah, that's really creepy.
Isn't it great when you get a present from someone?
Send someone a fucking card, you fucking cunt.
Send someone a card.
Spend some money on some fucking cards.
Right, we're done here?
Yeah?
Are we done?
No, I just wanted to mention
on the cover of this
He looks cheeky, doesn't he?
He looks evil, doesn't he?
He looks like he's having
a cheeky fart at the dinner table.
He certainly is.
And it looks like
Maggie Philbin's next to him.
No, not Maggie.
And they're eating dinner,
aren't they?
Weird.
Why would they be eating dinner
talking about...
I don't know.
Without hearing it, we don't know.
Now, that's a lovely book, Wobbly Sounds,
a collection of British flexi discs by Johnny Trunk.
Yeah.
And highly recommend it.
And if you see any flexis out there, grab them.
You never know what you might get on them.
Grab some flexis.
Yeah.
I like them.
Send us a picture.
Send us a picture.
A flip shirt.
On Twitter or on Instagram.
Give us a tagging and we will share it
but we hope you've enjoyed our walk down flexi disc lane ha ha i am the master of segments and
i declare this segment over a master the people have they've been disappointed with the segments
they haven't they've been to hell they're in the streets, Master. Why have they been...
Why?
Because they're disappointed with the Master of Segments.
It's all that stuff about you saying that you had genitals, you know.
Right, I quit my role as Master of Segments.
You quit now?
Yes, I quit and I bestow it upon you.
But I have a full set of genitalia, Master.
Then you must take rid of it.
But I have a full set of genitalia, master. Then you must take rid of it.
And I shall do it by clamping my teeth around your cock and balls
and biting it out of the root.
Oh, mate!
Fuck off!
End this segment! segment.
Now it's time for Ganon's
Golden Games.
Games what I find in charity shops.
And I think that could be good to play.
Yes, that's right! It's time for
Ganon's Golden Games! I'm just going be good to play. Yes, that's right. It's time for... Gallant's Gold Games!
I'm just going to say this now.
You stop doing that.
I'm not going to.
That is not allowed.
I'm not going to.
You're going to.
I'm not going to.
You're going to.
Ladies and gentlemen,

What have we got coming up with Let's go games tonight, Paul.
It's time for Get Us Go Games.
Oh, God.
Between the flavour of that fucking drink and that sound in my ears.
Get Us Go Games.
Get Us Go Games.
Stop it.
I'm freaking out.
I'm freaking out.
Let's go Get Us Go Games tonight, Paul.
Today we're playing a board game version of a game that originally came out for the Nintendo DS.
Is that true?
Yeah.
Why is it now a board game?
Based on the original best-selling Nintendo DS game.
And we're playing Big Brain Academy board game.
Who has the biggest brain?
That's the game.
Are we going to determine that between yourself and I?
We are. We're going to determine that between yourself and I? We are. We're going to determine
that today. Obviously, it's a cheap show
so we're going to play a simplified version of it.
Paul, you got his golden
gaze.
It's fun to say that, isn't it?
Where are you going to put the board?
Well, we don't have a board. That's the great
thing. Don't we? We don't have a board.
There's a spinner. It comes
with this. This is the game piece
it is a set of scales wow see and then you put this is quite neat isn't it you put these little
cups on the side scales of justice so it's the scale of who's got a bigger brain of intelligence
so you've got a bigger one it's heavier now fuck it's all coming out
come on stick it up
there
here we go
there's a problem
what
put it
it's not even
it's not on a level
surface
it's about level as it
is there we go
there we go
and you get
you see photos of
Ganon's golden games
so
on the website
so
the rules are basically
you think that zip lock
bag came with the
original set
no I added these
because they were all loose and everywhere
in the box. Good gaming. So, I put it in a Ziploc
to protect... Good gaming. Game modding.
So,
here's the thing. You get different types of
cards with different puzzles on and answers.
And there are different types.
So, category...
Category reference guide.
Oh, there we go. Think.
So, these are things that challenge your brain.
Well, they all do, don't they?
It's Big Brain Academy.
Yeah, but they have a style like...
No, that's not working for me yet.
It's like, look, there's...
I don't...
Green cards.
The green cards are think cards.
Yeah.
And what kind of...
Blue is compute.
So I think that's like mathematical.
Math.
Mathematical.
Yeah.
So think maybe is like logical thinking.
Lateral.
Yeah, lateral.
And then compute is like numbers and shit.
Yeah.
They've got analyze, where you must look at something or hear something and then analyze it for the answer.
Memorize.
You've got to memorize stuff.
That's good.
All right.
I reckon I'm stronger than that.
And then identify.
So cards that you...
Anagrams.
With your thinking
oh look they've got
tangrams there
tangrams
I bought that book
tangrams
yeah
it's got all the
tangrams in it
all the tangrams
I'd love to find
an actual tangram set
Paul and then work
on those tangrams
I like tangrams
right
how to play
divided into two teams
great oldest play
in the group goes first
that's Eli
because he's old
player one
blah blah blah
30 seconds to answer the question.
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
I give a fuck.
Let's just play.
Paul, you shouldn't have drunk before Gladden's Golden Games.
Gladden's Golden Games!
We'll play this for 20 minutes.
All right.
And here's what we'll do.
We'll rattle through as quickly as we can.
What about these?
Oh, you get one and you put it in the thing.
So whoever wins will have the most coins in.
And it will have the weight of the coins and the scales.
Yeah.
That would be the biggest.
So let me think.
I'm going to put a time of 20 minutes.
And we also need to time 30 second intervals where you're working out.
Yeah.
And you're not allowed pen and paper.
Are you?
No.
No.
All right.
Okay. 20 minutes. We got we're sorted right reset right
we got that we don't need pen and paper because you just got to add the little coins to the tray
no i mean pen and paper to work out the problem nah fuck you use your brain use your fucking brain
no paper for you first start the clock look comes a little decoder so you can see answers little red
decoder okay do we need to. A little red decoder.
Okay.
Do we need to use it?
Yeah, because some cards, the answers are on the card, but you shouldn't see them.
See there?
It's a little red.
Okay.
And then, yeah, it tells you.
Right.
So how we pick the rounds is you use the spinner, innit?
Okay.
It's spinner.
All right, I'll spin, shall I?
You can go first, Eli.
Spin it now.
Identify. Identify.
Identify.
Observe, detect and recognise.
Right, so... Oh, he started.
Hang on.
No, I've only stopped...
You didn't do 20 minutes.
You did 20 seconds.
I did 20 seconds.
Yeah, that's too...
Hang on.
Here we go.
That says 20 minutes, doesn't it? That's 20 minutes. long. Hang on. Here we go. That says 20 minutes, doesn't it?
That's 20 minutes.
That says 20 minutes.
Here we go.
Start the cock.
Here we go.
It's fun.
It's happening.
Right, think.
You better think.
Identify.
Unscramble the letters to form a word.
So there you go, Eli.
You've got L-E-B-L-K-I-B-E.
Quick, quick, quick.
Is it one word? Quick, quick, quick. Quick, quick, quick. Is it one word? Quick, quick, quick've got L-E-B-L-K-I-B-E. Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick.

I don't know.
I don't know.
What do you think it is?
I'll tell you what.
I'll look at the answer quickly.
I'll look at the answer quickly.
There are two words.
Okay.
So you've got the top one and the bottom one.
So quickly, what are they?
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four.
Bell and bike.
Is correct.
You get a yellow coin.
I'm going to put a big one in.
Thank you.
There you go.
Your turn.
My turn.
I spin the wheel.
You spin the wheel.
Spin, spin, spin the wheel of that thing.
Right, and it's landed on... Compute.
I'm fucked.
Not necessarily.
You've got to find a compute card.
What do they look like?
I think it's in the middle one.
What do they look like?
They're blue.
So they'll have the words compute written on them in the yellow segment.
There you go.
Segment, yeah.
Segment.
It's the yellow segment.
You ready for your compute question?
Yeah, here we go.
Here we go.
I'm ready for it, mofo
Solve the equation
Yeah
Four times six
Four times six
Is
Twenty-four
Yes
Yay
What colour's that?
Blue
Blue
Oh, the blue's only little
The blue's only little.
The blue's only little.
Yeah, because it was easy, that's why.
Ah, fuck!
All right, Kate, you spin the wheel now, you shit monkey.
You're amusing yourself and no one else.
I'm drinking, we drink.
Analyse.
Analyse more like. Yes.
Analyse.
Come on
Speed it up, drunky
I can't find the orange, can I?
You fucking dick splat
Sorry, that's not working for me
Where is it?
Oh, here we go
I found it, governor
Right
Analise
Oh
Hang on, let me read the answer first
Have you got the thing to read it with?
Right
Okay He's looking at a cube game Count the number of blocks in this image Oh, hang on. Let me read the answer first. Have you got the thing to read it with? Right.
Okay.
He's looking at a cube game.
Count the number of blocks in this image.
Go.
Right, you've got 15 seconds.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.
Go.
It's 13, Paul. It's the correct answer.
Do you know what also doesn't help?
Someone has scrawled the answer next to it in pen.
So, I get it.
Just check that next time.
Orange.
Someone's written the answer on in pen.
Right, you got orange, which is a little odd.
I just have to say I counted.
No, I'm sure you did. I trust you. I think you're fucking great, you, mate. Okay, come on in pen. Right, you got orange, which is a little odd. I just had to say I counted. No, I'm sure you did.

It's going to be think.
You better think.
Think.
Think about what the next question's going to be.
Yeah, think.
Think, think. Let your question card come question's going to be. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Think. Think, think.
Let your question card come out right knee.
It's come out.
This is bullshit.
It's physical.
You don't have room to do it.
All right, do another one then.
Just quick, quick, quick.
That's shit as well.

Just pick one that I can do.
It doesn't matter if I can do it.
Just let me do it.
God.
Oh, mate.
Don't pick.
Jerry, pick.
If it's visual, I can still do it.
I'll put the card up on the website so people can see the cards we've done.
Check the heaviest object.
Right.
Okay, good.
I'll have a look.
Check the heaviest object.
Right.
You need to actually look at the answer first, the little red thing, so you know what the
answer is.
Right.
Can you see?
Oh, you wank.
Come on, wanker!
How are you meant to know which is heaviest?
You're meant to put it on the bottom.
I don't know.
Have a look.
It looks like a B and...
Well, no.
Whatever's the heaviest.
Yeah.

Give us the thing, I'll find you a memorise card.
Quickly, quickly, boy.
This week's episode of Cheap Show brought to you by Wine Abyss
and Paul drinking it.
Right, memorise the sequence of numbers and then repeat it back. episode of cheap show brought to you by wine abyss and paul drinking it right memorize the
sequence of numbers and then repeat it back memorize the sequence of numbers and repeat it
back i'm going to say it once very quickly and you have to repeat it back i've got two numbers here
only two numbers well there's two rows of numbers well how are you going to say them as if they're
a big number if it's like it's it's this one is one two three four five six numbers this was one

Fuck it, aren't we?
Anyway, I've drawn a little line between that.
So there you go. Can you check my answers?
The answer's correct. I'm fucking giving them a point.
God, that's terrible. This game's
shit. I'm sorry. There we go.
Do not put two buttons in at once. I did not fucking

You can pick
whatever you like.
What would you like?
Group pick.
Well, I'll let you pick it.

All right, let's find your compute.
All right, here we go.
All right, give me that little card so I know what the answer is.
Do you have it?
The remainder of 21 divided by 6.
One, two.
It's three.
The remainder is three.
Fuck you.
Blue token for Eli.
It's only a little one, isn't it?
Like your penis.
Are they randomly different sizes?
No, they're that ones.
They're all this?

come on
I just need one
the animal
ah fuck
it doesn't really fucking matter

and cross each horizontal line
every time
just fucking just say just say you've won it and I each horizontal line every time a... Just fucking just say
you've won it and I'll give you the point.
It's fucking shit, that one.
What do I have to do? Trace it, one animal to
another animal. That's easy. I know, it's
fucking too easy. I've done it.
Yeah, I know, where's your point? What is it? Green.
We've got a minute left. I need to
fucking spin the wheel. Spin the
stupid wheel. Give me the fucking wheel.
It's spinning.
It's spinning.
Yeah.
Yellow, identify.
He's doing that.
I'm going to drink more of this fucking green shit.
I wouldn't, man.
We have business to attend to in Camden.
Come on, green.

Fuck you, alright then
Here's some anagrams
Anagrams
Right, check the answers first
With the little red thing
So you know the answers first with the little red thing.

I can't fucking see that.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
Give me the light on your light. Wingy baby, wingy baby, boom, boom.
Give me that.
Okay.
Yeah?
Brain, the bottom one, and rest...
That's your time up.
