Starting point is 00:10:24 It's just horrible to look at. Hello, I'm prolapsed fanny. No, that's not an excuse to come up with a character. No, I am. It's not. Right, we're moving on. No, I wanted to, in all seriousness now, Paul, before we go on to the...
Starting point is 00:10:41 Topic at hand. The scandal that we got embroiled with. Yeah. What kind of price of shite is it today is it a special edition it's three items

Starting point is 00:14:00 Give it here. No, that's fine. I'm turning it off. So, Giles Corrin on Talk Sport does an evening Sunday show. Isn't Corrin supposed to be a bit of a cock by many? I don't know. He is.
Starting point is 00:14:10 I don't know. I don't know. He's a brother of Victoria Corrin. Right. Good. And they used to have their father died, but he was that political. They used to have their father die? What, over and over?
Starting point is 00:14:20 What? Like, come on, Dan. Oh, he's had a heart attack. Bring him back. Then we'll kill him again tomorrow. What locks? I don't know anything about that, Dan. Oh, he's had a heart attack. Bring him back. Then we'll kill him again tomorrow. What locks? I don't know anything about that, but their father,
Starting point is 00:14:28 he was like a satirist and newspaper guy. Yeah, yeah. Do you remember? Just a minute a lot and stuff, didn't he? Yeah, who was he? What was he called?
Starting point is 00:14:35 Something Corrin. Bobby Corrin. He was not called Bobby Corrin. Alex the Corrin. He was not called Alex the Corrin. Because you know who I'm calling? You know who I can tell? Because there's no one who's called Alex the Corrin. Well, maybe there is someone called Alex the Corrin out know why, Paul? You know why I can tell? Because no one's called Alexter.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Well, maybe there is someone called Alexter out there. Only a fat-tongued, free-brow idiot like you would say Alexter. Anyway, Giles Corrin, on Sunday, in the evening... He's on the same station as you. And he has a segment now called Desert Island Crisps. Right. And it's where guests come in and they talk about their favourite snacks, right? Now...
Starting point is 00:15:06 Snacks or crisps specifically? Crisps, I think, but... They're not allowed snacks. This is where we're better because we've got the whole league of snacks. I need... Before you make... Ah, yes.
Starting point is 00:15:16 But, but... And crisps. Listen to the story before you make too many judgmental calls. Okay. They called it that night, for whatever reason, Inheritance Snacks because it was like the snacks of our youth. Memory. They called it that night, for whatever reason, inheritance snacks.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Because it was like the snacks of our youth, memory, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Retro snacks. White dog poo, blah, blah, blah, blah. Reverend, who is always on TV, and he was on my dancing, or whatever. What, the cool reverend? Whatever.
Starting point is 00:15:38 He was on, and he brought in caviar. And I was like, that's bang out of order, those rules. And he also brought cheddars in and something else. Anyway. Long story short, that's bang out of order, those rules. And he also brought cheddars in and something else. Anyway, long story short, that's what he's doing on his show. Oh, his inheritance snacks? Yeah. It's not Desert Island Crisps? No, that's what he calls it. Oh, it's complicated. Look, the point
Starting point is 00:15:55 is, he did this format, right? And then on Twitter, oh, a podcast called Desert Island Crisps where guests come on and talk about the crisps and blah, blah, blah. And they went, oh, Mr. Corrin, you can't release that as a podcast because Desert Island Crisps, where guests come on and talk about the crisps, blah, blah, blah. And they went, oh, Mr. Corrin, you can't release that as a podcast because we already have that name. And we've been doing this and we're the pre-most.
Starting point is 00:16:12 And I was like, well, well, sir. And that's where I stepped in. This is my error, but I stepped in. Right. Because I saw this. Because Steve McNeil from Go 8-Bit, he'd put, oh, crisp war. You had to step in.
Starting point is 00:16:24 I stepped in. You had to defend in. I stepped in because when I was You had to defend the cheap show territory. No, it goes back further. When I was working at Cellador on Sam FM, I was working with Paul McCaffrey, a stand-up comedian. And back in 2016 or 2015, whenever it was I started there, we did Desert Island Crisps. Same thing.
Starting point is 00:16:40 And it's not new. So I just went, mate, I'm just saying, we're doing this as well and then that exists and there's another Twitter account with that name as well did you mention the league I did also bring in
Starting point is 00:16:49 the league of snacks the league is our whole fucking trademarked approach to this whole issue unlike people who just go I remember cheddars remember cheddars
Starting point is 00:16:58 and bino and dandy and wizards and popstickles mum would take a white dog poo and grate it onto our our spaghetti hoops you could leave your door open
Starting point is 00:17:07 all day and no one would ever rob you yeah that stuff you know and then no we go here's the crisp
Starting point is 00:17:12 here's the evaluation we touch on nostalgia because it's important for certain brands it's one aspect but we are a scientific peer group measuring
Starting point is 00:17:23 objectively snacks empirically measuring objectively snacks empirically measuring the snacks unquestionable empirical snacks and crisps
Starting point is 00:17:30 and crisps it's very important it encompasses all snacks so I was just saying I'm going to step up I just said to them I'm stepping up the argument right
Starting point is 00:17:38 but just to know you just know this just you know this Giles none of you are original so where did this podcast come from? How many fucking listeners are they fucking at? Well, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:17:48 That doesn't matter. My point is that Giles Caron wanted to carry on doing the segment that named, and they said, please don't because we have this podcast. They think they're going to lose listeners? Well, we just don't know, do you? But if you've got a big name doing a project like that, and it gets put out on a big system like wireless. People would think that the podcast was ripping him off, maybe.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Or whatever. So he went, oh, we might just push on but change the name but keep the format and I was like, you do you because we've got something
Starting point is 00:18:11 a bit more special over here. It's a bit more scientifically rigorous, isn't it? It's not about inviting fucking reverends in. We're talking about caviar. Oh, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:18:19 Oh, you used to eat caviar, did you? Oh, you're a reverend. Some fucking posh mum spoon it into your posh little gob as you sat in a high chair made of mahogany out of her quim?
Starting point is 00:18:32 Wow. I was with you, weirdly, right up until the out of her quim part popped up. I just knew I was going to say that. I know. Right, well,
Starting point is 00:18:47 it's now time to go over to Eli's Country Noodle Kitchen. So that means I must get on my magic carpet. Got a great episode of that coming up for you, ladies and gentlemen.

Starting point is 00:22:22 These are Nissins. Now, and these Soba ones, Soba is a Japanese sort of stir-fried dish, which is kind of very saucy stir-fry. Like the egg noodles or rice noodles are coated in a thick sort of, a slightly sweet Soba sauce, yeah? It's a particular dish is what I'm trying to say. And it has bits of cabbage in. These have been recommended to me. And so I'm going to try these out for the bits of cabbage in. These have been recommended to me.
Starting point is 00:22:46 And so I'm going to try these out for the first time. It's a stir-fried style noodle, which will have some kind of juice pack in there. So boil, rinse off, throw in a pan, cook. And I'm going to have to employ you, if I may, Paul, to help with the mixing. Because today on the Noodle Test Lab kitchen, we have three of these stir-fried
Starting point is 00:23:06 style noodles so how exciting draining all three noodles today paul okay starting with the soba i have my miss gimmings because i tried one that was a sober i think it was a different company but it was air sober offering and it was very mulchy do you know. Mulchy in the mouth. Yeah. Sludgy. I want some spring in this. I'm looking for some spring. What does that mean? Well, something that, like the noodles have some texture.
Starting point is 00:23:33 Just not a mulch, all a mulch. You know? I mean, I literally don't because the words... Because you, you know why you don't? Because you've got three
Starting point is 00:23:42 fucking perceptions of reality. So it's either tart, crumbly, or sharp. Moving on. What's next? Down the line. Right. I can't. This.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Read on the back. It is a Szechuan broad noodle sesame paste flavour. Szechuan. And there it is. There it is. There it is. Sishwan. And it's got a little fella on, pointing to the sky. He looks like a little superhero.
Starting point is 00:24:11 He does. Like a noodle superhero. He's got his own pants outside his tights thing going on. Noodle superhero. He's probably got a name, doesn't he? But this is a very much, very much a Chinese noodle. Same process, boil, drain, stir stir fry we'll have several pop uh if you can look there's it's sort of a pour-on sesame sauce that we're going to put on top of these broad noodles
Starting point is 00:24:32 but this is i don't know what they're called this company they're called baijia baijia there oh but they make the one that you've enjoyed broad noodle with the chili oil that we've covered before. Yes. Hot and sour. Yes. Yes. That could be delicious like that.
Starting point is 00:24:49 Yes. Yeah. Yes. And finally. The name of this last one just sort of appealed to me. You know what I'm saying? The name? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:58 It sprang out of me. And the brand, Indomie, is a strong contender in the world of noodle brands. Let me show you. They've got lovely ones. Their sort of Indomie sort of trademark is a beautiful two-packer with a very gingery oil pack. This is an Indomie onion chicken flavour. So now what do we do? Well, we're going to have to get boiling, Paul, because all of these need
Starting point is 00:25:25 a boil, so I'll get the kettle on, shall I? Let's get the kettle on. How exciting. So he's filling the water. So we have to boil them three times over. Well, no, because I haven't checked the actual, but some of them will just be stand, just
Starting point is 00:25:42 standing in boiling water. So we can put it in the bowl and we stand it in it. Do you see what I mean? So it's not going to take forever as we boil this thing three times. We'll have to look. We may have to boil it three times. We should have done two, not three.
Starting point is 00:25:56 Listen, mate, people demand noodle content. I want to give them quality and quantity of noodle-based content. And that's what this is. And you haven't even got the fucking energy today to play up to it. Just accept it. It's very interesting to you as well. I think you're a wretched bore.
Starting point is 00:26:15 No, you're a wretched bore. I just listened to you fucking talk about computer games for about two and a half hours. He was playing on my Switch. So now the kettle's going to boil for a bit. Well, whilst we check what the fucking... I need some help from you to be checking
Starting point is 00:26:31 what you do with the sober. Right, well I'll look at this one. Look at the sober. That won't tell you. Only I know. It will make... It does tell you on the bottom, actually. Alright, but I was going to do it in order. Serving suggestion. I was going to do it in order can i do the
Starting point is 00:26:47 sober first i'm just reading you're making things confused i'm just reading it doing this in the order that i set them out in which is the sober i'm sorry to be a dick about this paul but just just my point is all i'm doing is readings. What if I read that and the effect of me reading it means you have to change your plan? Nothing will change the order. I'm still fucking reading it. It says, put the noodle into a bowl and pour boiling water over it.
Starting point is 00:27:17 Cover with a lid and stand for five minutes. Then drain and add all the sauce sachets. Mix well and serve. Okay. So... You've ruined the order now. I've ruined the order, but I've literally just fucking proved my point.
Starting point is 00:27:30 You did, sort of. Well, anyway. No, I did, actually. Okay, whatever. Don't make a big deal about it. Get down on your fucking knees and say sorry. I'll do more than that if I get down on my knees. Right.
Starting point is 00:27:42 The Sichuan Broad Sesame Paste Noodle is what we're going to start with, because you steeped that for five minutes, as you helpfully read out. Okay. Fucking yes! Now let's get this open and describe this, Paul. That might have been my finest hour on this podcast. These are literally exactly the same as those other ones, remember?
Starting point is 00:28:01 They're very broad. A little nest of broad noodles. A little nest, a little pad of broad noodles a little nest a little pad but look at the the packs here it's just we've got a three packer on this you've got the sauce pack that's the sesame sauce which i think you put sort of drizzle on over yeah and what does that remind you of that a colostomy bag does that remind you of that? A colostomy bag. Does that remind you of a colostomy bag, ladies and gentlemen? It fucking does. Look, if I had it there.
Starting point is 00:28:29 It's the latest style. You wouldn't get a see-through colostomy bag, would you? That would just be terrible. Anyway. But, you know, I'm not mocking those with colostomy bags. He was. I was not. Got camera footage as well of you prancing about.
Starting point is 00:28:42 We've got a powder pack, a soup base, and also soy sauce. And now with these, the mechanics helps with these, as you know, because with these ones, they can be, because they don't have water on once you've drained the water off, the powder can be a bit reluctant to dissolve. But they helpfully include a wet pack of sweetened soy sauce that kind of helps to dissolve it all into your noodle whilst you mix it yeah yeah okay right so we're gonna get the water re-boil it's literally just done hot as possible to get the good steepage out of it okay we are going to steep this
Starting point is 00:29:21 sesame paste flavor one for five minutes that's exciting so he's going to now steep this in the hot water for five minutes. Have you got a lid to put over it? I'm going to use one of these plates here. It's very good. So he's just covering it in boiling water just just. You want to get as much in as possible of these because you're going to drain it all out anyway so you don't have to worry about i just put my foam in the hot water sorry okay so that's ready to go should we see how these others are prepared because we might need to boil some of these stand out the way of the fucking camera i don't want most this video to be your fat arms it's not it's a podcast paul i'm also thinking about the people watching it. What the fuck then?
Starting point is 00:30:06 This is not... I didn't agree to this. You actually did. The minute you joined Cheap Show, you agreed to everything I ask you. No, I didn't. No, I don't. No, I didn't.
Starting point is 00:30:17 Fuck your camera. We're doing an episode of the Noodle fucking Test Lab Kitchen. Urban. Twat. Sober. you haven't been sober in a while oh nice
Starting point is 00:30:31 Eli already had some noodles before we got started today he did it on purpose he couldn't wait no I eat noodles what do you think
Starting point is 00:30:39 I am you think I don't talk what I walk walk what I talk yeah on the noodle front you think I'm a noodle hoax I don't think you I walk, walk what I talk, yeah? Yeah. On the noodle front. You think I'm a noodle hoax? I don't think you cash those mouth checks.
Starting point is 00:30:49 I cash checks my mouth checks. Come on. So does this one need a pan? Yes. I don't know. I'm looking. Where's the Brit? Don't fucking put the pan down.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Where's the British? Here we go. Fried noodles with classic flavour. Nice. What does classic mean? It just means the plain, the normal? Here we go. Fried noodles with classic flavour. Nice. What does classic mean? It just means the plain, the normal, normal soba flavour. Which is a kind of sweet sort of soy sauce-y almost. Basically like saying ready salted. Yeah. Which is what is good for us because we want to go in on the ground floor with these sobas
Starting point is 00:31:19 and actually I want to actually say whether they're sludgy or not. I fear that they are sludgy. Ingredients that is, that isn't the directions. Here we go. want to actually say whether they're sludgy or not. I fear that they are sludgy. Ingredients that is, that isn't the directions. Here we go. In a pan, yeah here we go, 250 millilitre of water boil, two to three minutes. So now we're boiling this one up. Well this is interesting ladies and gentlemen, we're now getting the pan on and once again we now have to reball the kettle right next to the microphone on the camera. But Paul, he, erm... Oh god.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Yeah? This one's going to be ready soon for us to taste. So we can do that, it actually works out because this one can be boiling, this one we can be tasting yeah. What's that last one do? Good point let's look at that now how we prepare the last one. This one has a graphic on it. I find the graphics pleasing for the directions. Now what do you think, there's a circular graphic. That to me looks like we have to do that in the pan as well that's another pan based so pan boil drain add to bowl mix i've got two pans i can get two pans on the go at once let's
Starting point is 00:32:31 do it let's do it we're gonna go two pans time in the fucking test lab kitchen we're looking at some fried noodles today paul which which of those do you think you're going to prefer? I might end up liking the broad noodle More Even though it has that paste I might like it, it might go well It's a sesame, I bet it's like a sweet paste Yeah, I can imagine that Almost like a peanut buttery
Starting point is 00:32:58 Yeah But with sesame instead, yeah Yeah So you're going to like that You think you might like that the best, really. It all depends what the flavour is for the next two. Do you like the flavour of onion and chicken? I mean, I don't not hate it,
Starting point is 00:33:12 but it seems like a weird thing to advertise, onion chicken. It's like saying tomato bacon. I think it must be something that is popular in a certain country or something. Indomie have, like, great, they have stuff from Malaysia and stuff. That kind of food. So they have nasi goreng, which is Philippines, I think. It's a Filipino dish, maybe, or Malaysian. You know, they've got that kind of stuff, Indomie.
Starting point is 00:33:40 And they're very, I like it. They're very delicious. Just the normal Indomie vegetable flavor is a fucking two-pack connoisseur you know it's just like you can pimp that with the veg the range of veg pimping that you can lay at the feet of an indomie vegetable flavor with its fucking oil pack of joy it's it's so i respect Indomie is what I'm trying to say. Well, there's anyone who knows about
Starting point is 00:34:10 pimping, it's going to be Tupac. Isn't it? Tupac? Yeah. Is that like a hip-hop joke? Yeah. That's not the type of pimping I'm talking about. It's pimping. It's what, running girls on the street, yeah?
Starting point is 00:34:30 Is that what you do, Paul? No further questions, Your Honour. Right, let's have a little walk over here. What have we got over here in the kitchen? There's a big Mickey Mouse. This is a... Afro. Yeah, 70s Afro soap dispenser. Then we've got a little werewolf.
Starting point is 00:34:51 Have we covered him before? Yeah. Werewolf in dungarees. A giant Kinder Superman. I think we did that on the show, didn't we? Yeah. And this that came back from Taiwan, which is quite nice, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:35:02 Nice piece. It looks like a sort of robot mole creature coming out of the ground and then grabbing our hero who's this blue fellow. Looks like the genie from Aladdin. He looks a bit like the genie but he's got like a rocket pack on. And it's quite, it's got a bit of movement to it, that vignette,
Starting point is 00:35:18 doesn't it? Your kettle's boiled. Your kettle's boiled. My little pony sweet dispenser. Yeah, we've called it on the show. Your kettle's boiled. Also this. Your kettle's boiled. My little pony sweet dispenser. Yeah, we've called it on the show. Your kettle's boiled. Do you want to maybe sort that out? Well, thank you.
Starting point is 00:35:30 Got it going. I think we're going to need the pans the other way around, actually. Makes sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We're going to use the bigger pan on that one. Get this one going, please. Which one's that one? That one.
Starting point is 00:35:39 Here we go. Woof. That one's got going. Oh, it's going. Easy now. He's adding the water to both of these hot pans. This is a thrilling time in the Country Urban Noodle Test Lab kitchen. I'm on the edge of my seat.
Starting point is 00:35:51 We're going to get both these noodles going at once here, Paul. That's the idea. Yeah. Pour this water right up! It's like he's a DJ of noodles and he's cross-fading the noodle, my friend. He's got two platters on the go and he's mixing and scratching noodle, noodle, noodle. Let's just check the times. Let's not be flippant. And let's check the times that they suggest for these.
Starting point is 00:36:13 Two to three minutes. Oh, these are quite complicated. With these sober, you're meant to sort of boil the water off. So we need an exact measurement on these. Oh, mate. You fucking have wanked this. Can we need an exact measurement on these. Oh, mate. You fucking have wanked this. Can you hand me the measurement?
Starting point is 00:36:30 I don't need to read the instructions apart from then and apart from then and apart from now and apart from then. So we need 250 mil only. So, Paul, if you want to look at this. Yeah, go on. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:36:42 There we go. 250 mil. Wait, stop. That's almost spot on well played yeah a bit over but that's about it he did it he did a good job there 250 right out the pan poured it straight off didn't i yeah and you were looking at miller yeah okay see so not very much water so little amount what you're wanting it to do is just boil it all off. So after two to three minutes, most of the water is gone. It's a very damp noodle, a soba.
Starting point is 00:37:13 It's still a fried style. And it's in the pan. It's not even covered. It's not even covered. That'll work. It'll soften up and it will help. It will. It will seep.
Starting point is 00:37:22 We'll put that up a bit. And then we've got the two packs in the soba. A dry pack of flakes. Dry pack of flakes. And then look at that, that's the goopy, goopy, that's the soba sauce. Goopy soba sauce. Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:38 Now let's get the endo. Get the endo-mimo on. In the chicken, this is gonna be much easier, isn't it? It's just drain it, you just drain it. I feel alive all of a sudden, Mr. Silverman. I feel alive! You've only cooked for two minutes this. So let's get this going. Look you see it's a bit dry on top still so maybe yeah. Oh, brilliant. Gonna get all the moisture going through. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's an expert. He's mixing, he's cross-feeding between the two. I mean I
Starting point is 00:38:04 might actually put a little bit more water in that first one. Just a splash. Yeah, just a splash. A splash in there. Oh, I wish you could see this, but I'm plugged into the wall and it's a tiny cable. Now that is boiling vigorously, our pan for the chicken onion. I'm just going to plonk the fucker in. And plonk it in.
Starting point is 00:38:23 And it's just a regular noodle pack. It doesn't look any different than the usual commoner garden noodle pack you get off the supermarket shelf. Another great thing about Indomie noodles is the soup base always has a chilli pack, like a sub-pack, attached to it. And that means if you don't like it hot, you don't have to use it. Or you can do a little bit of the chilli. You can control the chilli. Indomie's is a class act they're a class act and
Starting point is 00:38:48 look this is the famous oil pack look at that that looks a bit spoffy deliciousness there tramp spoff it's a bit tramp spoffy right oh look at all that it's still boiling off we're gonna just prepare these all at once i think is what we should do. We can get started on that one I think now while these two go at it. Well they don't need much longer. Really? Oh sizzling, sizzling. Yeah, the sober one is boiling on a very small amount of water. Do you think this has had five minutes, the broad one? Oh definitely it's had five minutes, I would say it's more like seven what we need to do
Starting point is 00:39:25 is for the broad one we're going to need to prepare with with stirred noodles prepare your palate you know what I mean
Starting point is 00:39:32 smear your shit out on the plate ready to dump the noodles on and smear it all around because it's all about getting the smear on it's all about getting the
Starting point is 00:39:40 the sauce uh distributed yeah onto the noodle packs and look you see, this is the problem. It's coagulated, this one.
Starting point is 00:39:48 Oh, it's become very powdery. No, lumpy. Show a bit to the camera. Fuck you. Lumpy. It's become lumpy, not powdery. It's the opposite of powdery.
Starting point is 00:39:59 It's become like powder. No, lumps. You twat. Like chunky powder. Now, I need to drain this. can you keep an eye on that one? I'll keep an eye on that. Look I'm moving it, I'm moving it. That needs to stir then. Oh it's split. Yeah look at that. Maybe we should have mixed it up a bit first.
Starting point is 00:40:17 No that's okay. It's softening up a treat actually. Alright it's softening up a treat says Dr Silverman. Yeah it just needs a bit more. Bit more. Bit more of the water to come off but we don't want all the water to come off because that will burn it. No but you also need it for the sauciness. You'll burn it. You need it for the sauciness. You need a little bit of coagulator. You've had me, that's sieve that's in there.
Starting point is 00:40:36 The dirty one. Is it dirty? Give it a little rinse. Oh God. Didn't sign up for this. Give it a rinse Paul. I'm rinsing the sieve. I've never rinsed a sieve.
Starting point is 00:40:44 I've never rinsed a sieve. I've never rinsed a sieve. I've never rinsed a sieve. I've never rinsed a sieve. Oh God! Didn't sign up for this. Give it a rinse, Paul. I'm rinsing the sieve. I've never felt so alive. I'm turning this, er, sober off. I need you to be in control of that. Of what? Sober. Right. It's these two. Right. I can't. I'm frightened.
Starting point is 00:41:05 I'm frightened. There's too much going on. Paul, stop being an idiot. It's too exciting. Shut up. Just keep your head. Now. It's ready.
Starting point is 00:41:17 Here we go. I'll hold it. You drain it. Here we go. Holy shit. You're giving me some fucking notice. I nearly dropped it. Give me a shake. Give it a shake. I'm giving it some fucking notice and he dropped it. Give me a shake.
Starting point is 00:41:25 Give it a shake. I'm giving it a shake. Shakey shaky. Dump it back in. In the bowl? Yeah. In the bowl. It's in.
Starting point is 00:41:41 And now he's added that spoffy powder in. But I need a mixing. That's fine fine i've taken the water off i know you've turned the heat off it's good this still got the onion chicken maybe matt's give it a little bit longer all right yeah maybe a little maybe a minute more right see it's not dissolving easily but we need to get that as dissolved as possible let's get the uh let's get the soy sauce influence on there i'm going to give this a little huff because i'm oh it's very vinegary smell that oh yes it's very tart oh god i hate you sometimes fucking hell right i'm mixing that one in he's mixing it up and then we have the pistachio sauce.
Starting point is 00:42:25 Yes. My cloths and my bag. Yes, that's unfortunate, isn't it? I just found it in my thumb. In your pocket? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:34 I was playing with my life in my pocket. You're like a fucking youth. And I'm going to drizzle this sesame paste sauce liberally all over the noodle. Now it looks very different from the cover where it was like green and thick sesame sauce.
Starting point is 00:42:49 So maybe it was kind of saying, here's how it would traditionally look if you made it in the kitchen separately. But this is a facsimile. Well, it's not that much different. It's kind of sitting on top of the sauce, isn't it? I thought the sauce was gonna be a lot thicker and that's very kind of balsamic texture. Yeah, it's a bit watery, you're right. But let's get the soba going.
Starting point is 00:43:09 I'll just get that one last little mix and we can leave that and then try them all at once. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Excellent. Now, he's adding now the herbs. The dry herbs. The seasoning to the plate. I think there's not enough moisture. There's not enough. So I'm. The seasoning to the plate. I think there's not enough moisture.
Starting point is 00:43:26 There's not enough. So I'm just going to add a little. He's adding a little bit of hot water. Just to get it going again. To the soba. Just to give it a little bit of a moisture. Put that on there. Oh, look.
Starting point is 00:43:43 He's added the water and the noodles onto the thing. And now here's the soba sauce. Soba sauce on. You really want to try and get the noodles onto the thing. And now here's the sober sauce. Sober sauce on. You really want to try and get the distribution good on this. You know what I'm saying? Yep, that's gone on there. Right, that's on. He's dumped his muck on it.
Starting point is 00:43:59 He's draining it off into the sink. No, is he? What's he going to do? What's he doing? Just a little bit. He's just taking a little bit off. Right, so, good. We've got this, we've got that.
Starting point is 00:44:08 That's great. Now the onion chicken. Onion chicken is going the way of the broad noodle. It's getting sieved. Straight in, no fucking about, bosh. No fucking about. And they're just a joy to prepare, these Indomie ones, really. You know? A joy to prepare.
Starting point is 00:44:24 I'm putting the powder on. Powder on the plate. Pardon me. Noodle on the powder. Forking the noodle. Forking the noodle. Do we want it with the chilli or without this onion chicken?
Starting point is 00:44:39 Come on. It's always gonna be with chilli, isn't it? The only reason I would suggest not is if you wanted to just taste it first without. The chilli, no, I'd want it with the chilli because I always would. Good. Now, where is the joint? This is it. This is it.
Starting point is 00:44:52 This is the top item in the kitchen today, which is the oil pack from the Indomie, if you ask me. This is pure deliciousness in a sachet. Well, here he goes. He's adding it now. In a sachet. Oh, get that squeezing on. Get that squeezing, squeezing. He's squeezing, ladies and gentlemen. He's adding it now. Oh, get that squeezing on. Get that squeezing, squeezing. He's squeezing, ladies and gentlemen.
Starting point is 00:45:08 Squeezing on the noodles. There, they're ready. I mean, obviously, I would pimp this. But we're just doing a straight ahead taste test today, aren't we? Just assume I've zoned out. I literally just zoned out then. Shut up. It's time for you to taste the noodles I'm looking forward to it
Starting point is 00:45:28 Time has come Just to remind everyone The time has come Hang on The mic is nowhere near your mouth The first noodle we'll be tasting is The Heijia Sichuan Broad Sesame Paste flavour Now tuck in there there Paul. Here we go, I am now
Starting point is 00:45:47 going to tuck in, bear with me. No! Just going to roll it around the fork. Get some of that sauce on there. Look at that. Look at that, I'm getting a great big wodge of it on. Getting a huge wodge of it there. Ooh! What's that like? It's very satisfying It's got a very nice kind of creamy peanut buttery aftertaste to it Very peanut buttery isn't it? It's very, you know what, it's comfort food kind of flavour Yeah, yeah, yeah Mashed potatoes and sausage rolls A little bit of spice, a little bit of heat
Starting point is 00:46:17 A little bit of heat but enough heat to make it a bit more interesting It's pretty good isn't it? It's very good actually isn't it? It's very good, actually. I really like that. It is that comfort, sort of that mouthfeel from the sesame seed. Nutty.
Starting point is 00:46:33 It's sort of velvety in the mouth almost, isn't it? Velvety in the mouth. Wow. That's... All right, let's move on. That's a very strong... How much was that?
Starting point is 00:46:44 I think they come out about 70p. 70p? That's really nice. Back in the room. Right, we're on to the next one. You enjoyed that, though, yeah? I enjoyed that one. Was that a surprise?
Starting point is 00:46:55 I don't think it's going to get better for you than that. So what's this next one? Oh, it's very... Hang on. Do you know what? I just want to show to the camera as best I can. It doesn't look like much, but it tastes like everything. It's good.
Starting point is 00:47:07 The size of the noodles, the softness, the big, piddly noodles. This one. This is more standard. That's what soba noodles look like, though. They are those thinner ones. Yeah. So let's have a go with this. I'm going to get a big...
Starting point is 00:47:19 There's no really thing to eat on this. You just get a lot of the sauce on, and then you're there. That'd be a bit too much, this. You just get a lot of the sauce on and then you're there. That'd be a bit too much this, hang on. So he's tasting the Nissin Soba, which people swear by. He's getting right in there. I'm enjoying you...
Starting point is 00:47:35 I'm enjoying you grappling with that noodle. He's really getting to grips with it. Oh, I had a fight with that one. As it's swaying into your mouth and all over your face like a floppy cock. A floppy noodle menace. Right, so. Fine, unremarkable, but not unpleasant.
Starting point is 00:47:55 You could probably pimp that better. Oh, yeah, you'd have to pimp that in my mind. But it does taste like Soba. I'll tell you what, though. It's not fudgy, is it? I mean, you can taste the texture of the noodle is there. And it's a fine flavour. It's not fudgy, is it? Do you soba I tell you what though I've had it's not fudgy is it I mean you can taste the the texture of the noodle is there and it's a fine flavour
Starting point is 00:48:07 it's not fudgy is it do you know what I mean so I like that I've had this in the pots you know the pots that you drain off because they've got holes in the lid
Starting point is 00:48:13 and I think it's better because they add a few little bits and bobs to it as well they add a few veggies and spring onions and whatever in those pots
Starting point is 00:48:20 that you drain yeah they're much better because sometimes you get like a little sachet of mayonnaise. Have you seen those ones? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:28 We should get some of those on. Yeah. But what would you pimp that with maybe just off the top of your head? Spring onions. Any meat. Could put some meat in there. Chicken it would work with. Like a lighter meat.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Then put some soy sauce. Whilst we're on that topic, Paul, I'm just going to mention two pimping items that I've added to my repertoire recently. Firstly, you've got this. Maggie liquid seasoning. Maggie liquid seasoning. Just going to show it to the camera. Wake up, Maggie.
Starting point is 00:48:55 I think I've got some liquid seasoning for you. This is basically a purified umami salty thing. So I'm just going to put this on there. Taste it. Ooh. It's like casserole sauce or something. It's a slightly more bovrally kind of soy sauce, but without that kind of saltiness.
Starting point is 00:49:14 Do you know what I mean? That could add to all sorts of things. Oh, dribble, dribble, dribble. Come on, love. I'm sorry. I'm sorry about that. I'm using that just to put a few drops just to sort of you know boost it boosts flavor seasoning that's what it does but that is good isn't it yeah
Starting point is 00:49:31 and the other thing one more thing before we move on to the third and final option tonight a good cheap nice pimping textural pimping item that is easy to obtain are these fried onions crispy fried onions crispy fried onions how exciting a pot of crispy fried onions i'm just gonna have a little bite of this one uh i mean that on its own is reasonably horrible but i'm sure it would make a nice bit of texture to a noodle yeah i know they're not great by themselves no but it's part of a bigger picture you can see how that could add texture and it wouldn't Bit of texture to a noodle. Yeah. I know, they're not great by themselves. No. They're oniony, you know. But it's part of a bigger picture.
Starting point is 00:50:09 You can see how that could add texture and it wouldn't... Yeah. It wouldn't... Anyway, so let's go on. Moving on. Moving on to... Our last noodle today, which is the Indomie. All right, let's have a go. You go first.
Starting point is 00:50:20 I go first. Onion chicken. Onion chicken. Now, you could add those onions to it you just showed me. Oh, yeah. I'll sprinkle some of those on. Get it up here. Oh, he's dropping noodles on the floor.
Starting point is 00:50:33 Just get your hand in there. I'm sorry. It's all right. Put it in there. I do not like that. It's composting. No? What's wrong with it? Yeah. It tastes like nettles. I don't like that What's wrong with it
Starting point is 00:50:45 It tastes like nettles I don't like that It's like stinging nettles and flowers And a little bit of chicken I don't know I quite like it Very salty isn't it I don't know if it's salty
Starting point is 00:51:01 It leaves a kind of stinging aftertaste on the tongue. I know what you mean. I like that. It's a bit zesty. It's a bit flowery for my liking. It's perfumey. It's weird. I know what you mean.
Starting point is 00:51:11 I know what you mean, but I like that. I like the noodle, broad noodle best. Okay, so let's have a score for you. All of these. Mmm. Mmm. Tastes like home. You've gone back to the broad with the sesame paste there.
Starting point is 00:51:23 So, broad paste sesame. That's the Beijing Sichuan broad noodle sesame paste flavour. I'm going to give that four and a half out of five. Okay, I will go... It's nice. It'd be nice with some green veg, just to sort of... You know, as a sort of... And some chicken bits.
Starting point is 00:51:42 Bits of chicken in. You could pimp it with all sorts of stuff, couldn't you, really? That's nice. That's really homely. Very soothing. What's it? It's comforting. You're right.
Starting point is 00:51:50 Soft and comforting. Yeah. Then we had the Soba. The Nissin Soba. I'm going to say three. I think three standards. It's okay. If you like that flavour, that's that Soba flavour.
Starting point is 00:52:03 It's a base product. Yes. And you could pimp it to the max but like you say there are products Japanese noodles that are Soba based
Starting point is 00:52:10 that have all sorts of pimpins built in and also have little fucking panels that you peel away and so you it becomes its own
Starting point is 00:52:18 drainer yeah so that's exciting we should cover those but yeah you know for now
Starting point is 00:52:24 I just I struggle to see how this this in Soba could be anyone's top noodle. Do you know what I mean? But they are. People say it. People are insane. But maybe they're just seating subs of chicken and mushroom pot noodle. It's like, oh, it's dependable.
Starting point is 00:52:40 I'll give it a three as well. All right. And finally, I'm going to give that one and a half out of five. Now you're talking about the Indomie chicken onion. It doesn't taste like chicken or onion. It just tastes like slightly numbing, peppery, kind of florally noodle with a slightly umami aftertaste. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:59 Maybe Indomie is a bit of an acquired taste once you get into these because I'm fucking loving that, I have to say. You're a fucking monster.'s spicy really salty there's just flavor going through that that's a flavorful noodle great well what would you give that then out of five it all stands up by itself if you ask me that's much better than the it's more interesting than that don't get me wrong but i just don't you just actively disliked it, basically. Yeah, it wasn't like this. Oh, it wasn't
Starting point is 00:53:29 like you, Buzzy. Thanks for coming to the urban noodle, country urban noodle Tesla kitchen. The Tesla kitchen today, where we looked at a range of stir-fried style noodles, all with slightly different construction techniques.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Yeah. Weren't they? And I think you did well there, Paul. And thanks for your views, you know. But I disagree mainly about the onion chicken. I think that's a mouthful. That's fair enough, though. We both agree, though, that the sesame pasty swan broad is a class. It's fair enough though. We both agree though that the sesame paste he swam broad is, it's a class.
Starting point is 00:54:07 It's a classy thing. And that's the kind of noodle you couldn't get in this country. What did you give that out of five again? I haven't given it a score, but I'd go for three, three and a half on that. All right. Three and a half.
Starting point is 00:54:18 All right. But the outright winner today is the broad sesame paste. What did you give that? 4.5. 4.5. I was very happy with that. That gets 8.5. That gets 6.
Starting point is 00:54:30 And that gets 4. All right. Well, there you go, then. So, thank you very much, Mr. Silverman, for allowing you into this interesting new world of noodles. Don't eat right next to the camera. How fucking horrible do you think that's going to look? In fact, it's going to be mostly the back of you, your elbow, and then us going Give me the mic.

Starting point is 00:56:54 Anyway, back to the studio. You've ruined that. I was flying away over London and you ruined it. Oh, thanks for joining me, ladies and gentlemen. I've got something I want to say right now. It's the fucking price of shot. It's the fucking price of shite it's the fucking price of shite it's the fucking price of shite oh it's the fucking price of shite and that's right thank you yes paul it's a time for a traditional little price of shite mini sewed it's a lovely little cheap, quick, cheap and cheerful, lovely little, lovely cheap and cheerful,
Starting point is 00:57:47 lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely good game. This is marvellous, isn't it? Marvellous. We're playing traditional rules, Price of Shite, traditional rules. Price of Shite. Now, I'll explain that, shall I? I'll explain what that entails, the rules of that. Why don't you take it away?
Starting point is 00:58:01 You will produce three items which you have purchased. Uno, dos, tres. You could have gotten them from the same shop. You could have gotten them from different shops. I got them from different shops. Different shops. Thank you. Different shops.
Starting point is 00:58:12 Scope. I will. Heart Foundation and RSBCA. Thank you. I might come back to that to see which came from which. Just for a bit of nuance on the guesswork. I am the charity shop vampire. Ah, ah, ah.
Starting point is 00:58:26 I want to suck your cock. I know. You can say whatever you fucking want. I can get away with it. I just got away with it. You laughed. I didn't get away with it. I did.
Starting point is 00:58:39 Why would a charity shop vampire be into sucking cock? I don't understand. They're not mutually exclusive things. I sucking cock? I don't understand. They're not mutually exclusive things. I know, but I don't know. It just seems a bit off character.
Starting point is 00:58:49 He likes to go to charity shop and suck cock. Okay. I think it's valid. Alright. So, yes. I'm very gentle. You'd have to be
Starting point is 00:58:58 with those big fangs, wouldn't you? With those big teeth. Ah, yeah. You will produce... But I like to go charity shopping as well. Okay, yes. That's good. Because, you... But I like to go charity shopping as well. Okay, yes, that's good.
Starting point is 00:59:06 Because, you know, you like to reuse. You've got some old clothes, don't you? I'm very big on recycling clothes. You've been alive for 700 years. 700 years of cock sucking! To move on. You will produce three items bought from various charity shops. I will.
Starting point is 00:59:24 I will guess, after having a good look at them, maybe asking some questions about where you purchased them. Yeah. And really scoping them out, I will then ascertain how much I believe each item cost. And there's a point scoring system associated with my guesswork on this, Paul. Yes. If I get it on the nose...
Starting point is 00:59:44 I suck your cock. I'm so sorry. It's okay. I'm so sorry. It's okay, Paul. It's okay. I'm sorry. No, it's fine.
Starting point is 00:59:56 All right, go on. You keep doing that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't mind. I think it's quite amusing, actually. Honestly. I'm sorry. Right.
Starting point is 01:00:04 So, if I guess correctly I score two As in On the nose I get two points Between Between Okay
Starting point is 01:00:11 Yeah I can also If I don't Just say it Just say it again I can't I don't want to And if
Starting point is 01:00:23 No I'll set you up for it No I don't Just get the rules out... No, I'll set you up for it. No, don't. Just get the rules out. Just do it. There is another way to score if I'm not exactly right. And that is by... That is by getting it 25p either side of the price. Okay?
Starting point is 01:00:38 And in that case, I score between one point. Yes. That is what we do. And that's it. That is it. That's it. So there is a maximum of six points on the table. Now I present to you the
Starting point is 01:00:52 three items for this episode. Paul, do you want to come back in? Yeah, Paul? Yeah. Oh, I've come in. Has he stopped talking? No, he's fine. He's fine. Yeah. All right. Paul? Yes. All right, good. Yeah, I might take him up on that. Can I suck your fuck? No, he's fine. He's fine, yeah. All right. Paul? Yes. All right, good.
Starting point is 01:01:06 Yeah, I might take him up on that. Can I suck your fuck? No, you. You. That vampire's quite a pretty mouth. Let's have your first item there, Paul. Okay. Here's the first item. Eli, say what you see.
Starting point is 01:01:20 Oh, this is a magic vase. It's awful. It's as seen on TV. Yeah. awful. It's as seen on TV. Yeah. Where some silly things are seen on TV. Yeah. The last thing I think we had was that bag holder. Yeah, the bag holder.
Starting point is 01:01:32 Yeah, the bag holder thing. That was also seen on TV. That was a piece of crap as well. A pointless bit of rubbish. But this. Shape your vase using warm water. Yeah. Is this some kind of piss toy?
Starting point is 01:01:42 It could be. I bet it has been used as a piss toy. Shape it bend it, shape it, cut it any way you want it. Yeah. Soak in warm, hot water, create a shape, fill with cold water, decorate a display. It's like a crafty thing. So there's a price on the back. Yeah, but that's an old price. That's probably been there.
Starting point is 01:01:59 Oh, well, that could still be. So I can see what it was. What does it say there? £2.50 new. Really? Yeah. So these are flat pieces of see through plastic
Starting point is 01:02:06 vinyl or something no not yeah something like that but it must it's like lino remember lino like people used to have down in their callways
Starting point is 01:02:13 this is awful there's a small one and then there's some larger ones and they're very flat and you've got to sort of fill them with hot water is that what it is
Starting point is 01:02:22 you put them under a warm tap so they get all loose and floppy and then you mould them into the shape and? You run them under a warm tap so they get all loose and floppy and then you mould them into the shape and let them run it under the cold tap. There's something extremely nasty and cheap about them. They're see-through with a horrible floral pattern on. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:35 And they have a genuine kind of vase shape, you know. They do. It's a column that narrows in the middle. It's like an hourglass shape, isn't it? Yeah. And these are three magic vases. Can I have a look at the box again? Yeah, what does it say?
Starting point is 01:02:49 Ben, soak it in warm water, create your shape, fill with cold water, decorate and display. I don't think you can do too much with it in terms of moulding. You can maybe make parts of it more narrow than others. You just make it not flat. You make it 3D, don't you, basically? Because, look, it's got a little base sort of... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. A base built in, which opens up like that. Lightweight, portable and reusable.
Starting point is 01:03:12 And just shit. Yeah. They're just awful. Is this particularly eco-friendly? No, not really. I'd say not at all. No. Well, I mean, if you use it again, I suppose you don't waste them.
Starting point is 01:03:28 But they don't look very good, even in this photo that's trying to show them off. They look just sort of like sort of freestanding drip bags. Do you know what I mean? Like those drips that you get in hospitals. Yeah, they do. Like a drip IV bag. They look a bit like an IV bag, don't they? Oh, there's your first item anyway, Mr. It's a fucking terrible item.
Starting point is 01:03:41 Isn't it? I'm quite proud of it. But I think I've got one better. Okay. But we think I've got one better. Okay. But we'll get to that. We're going to have a little interlude with something a bit
Starting point is 01:03:48 more on brand for Paul Gannon. Alright? Ghostbusters. No. I found a little game, didn't I? Ah.
Starting point is 01:03:56 What's this then? No, he's handed me a sort of matchbox, larger matchbox shape and it has actually a fake strike on one edge of it. So it is modelled after a fake strike on one edge of it, so it is modelled after a Matchbox,
Starting point is 01:04:08 but it says on the front of this Matchbox, bizarre trivia. 80 questions of a weird and wonderful nature to strike up fun. Strike up fun. No, strike. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Strike up fun.
Starting point is 01:04:25 Strike up fun at any get together. I want to gargle your balls. Shall I try? Charity shop vampire's left, you know. Yeah, but he hanging around. No, he's not. Shall I ask him? I'm hanging upside down in the ceiling.
Starting point is 01:04:40 Okay, Paul. Charity shop vampire. He's up there. Paul's down here. Yes, yes i know i'm down up here no right shall i ask you one of these then paul yeah go for it i'll see are they questions i don't know they're on the little kind of i don't know like acid test cards no otherwise you know what i mean like the little things no just forget it paul just forget it they're on little thin cards questions so what you ask the question then it's on the back?
Starting point is 01:05:05 No, there's a bit of trivia related to the question on the back of the card. If it was like, who wrote any of the poo? Then on the back, it would tell you more about the answer. Right. A.A. Milne was born in blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But first, you have to get the answer, yeah? India qualified for the 1950 World Cup finals in Brazil. Right.
Starting point is 01:05:22 But withdrew because... Yeah. A. Was it? They were at war with Brazil. Right. But withdrew because... Yeah. A, was it? They were at war with Pakistan. Okay. B, FIFA would not allow them to play barefoot. Or C, they refused to play Great Britain unless independence was formally ratified.
Starting point is 01:05:39 What year was it? 1950. I would say it's C. What's the answer? No, it is B. FIFA would not allow them to play barefoot. Oh, there you go. They obviously played barefoot.
Starting point is 01:05:50 Let's have a go. Let's have a little question. And they say here, it's probably for the best. Imagine some of those crunching old-style tackles on a barefoot player. What does that mean? India played barefoot. Oh, no, I know that, but they wouldn't play because they thought there'd be injuries. No, it says it's probably for the best because they would have been injured if they had been allowed to.
Starting point is 01:06:06 They would have been. Oh, you stood on me toe! Right, here we go. Here's a question for you. You didn't get that, so just keep the tally going. Right, yeah. Coffee shop chain Starbucks take their name from A, a character in Moby Dick,
Starting point is 01:06:19 B, the founder's mother's birth name, or C, a winning racehorse that provided the funds to set up the company? A. Is correct. The company was nearly named after Pequot, after the ship in Herman Melville's American Classic. A cup of Pequot? Not quite the same. No. Starbucks really works, doesn't it?
Starting point is 01:06:37 It's got a good ring to it. Biddy, biddy, biddy. It's also the name of the character from, what is it, Battlestar Galactica. Is it? Yeah. Is it my turn? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:45 We'll do three each. I've got the next one ready. Three each? Alright. Yeah. So it's one nil to me, then? Yeah. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da League of Snacks and Crisps. Right, hit me with a question.
Starting point is 01:07:00 Hit me. Triscadacaphobia. Right. I'll try that again. Triscadacaphobia. Right. I'll try that again. Triscadacaphobia. Okay. Triscadacaphobia is fear of A. It's fear of A? That's frightening.
Starting point is 01:07:15 How would you write a sentence? I mean, you've got to cut that out. Oh. God, my son, I can't. No. Ha, ha, ha. Listen, Mr. Charity Shop Vampire. Yes.
Starting point is 01:07:26 I might take you up on the offer, but you're just ruining this segment of the show. I might want to get it, you know. Can I get a little sock? Yeah, later. You promise? Yeah. All right, I'm done. Okay.
Starting point is 01:07:38 I'm done here. I've got what I wanted. I'm done. You sucker. Oh, I told you I'd do it. Bye. I don't know who that was. Triscadercophobia.
Starting point is 01:07:48 Right. Triscadercophobia. Yeah. Fear of. Is it fear of? A. Using public toilets. Using public toilets.

Starting point is 01:08:05 B. 13. Yes, the number 13. Yeah. The origins of 13 as an unlucky number are unclear. Ooh. Christian sources indicate a Middle Ages superstition based around the Last Supper. That's what I heard as well. But there are indicators that the number had an ill aspect before this.
Starting point is 01:08:22 Ooh. Interesting. Fact. This is a very good dinner party. You got one there. You got one there. Right. Which of these collective nouns is incorrect?
Starting point is 01:08:30 Ah. A nonsense of crows. An unkindness of ravens. A rafter of turkeys. Which one of those is the incollect collective noun? I think it's A. The nonsense of crows. Yes. You are correct. The nonsense of crows.
Starting point is 01:08:46 You are correct. I can eat crows with something else. Birds come in all sorts of odd collectives. It's a murder of crows, isn't it? Wait. Owls form parliaments and crows come in a murder. Yeah. Can I get an extra point?
Starting point is 01:08:59 No. So you were right. There was a murder of crows. Next question, Mr. Silvermanman It's 2-1 to you 2-1 to me And this is my last question So I've got to get this right to stay in the game Even stay in the game
Starting point is 01:09:11 It could be a draw This is exciting The Americans Have shown great sense of humour When naming towns Right Which of these Is not
Starting point is 01:09:23 Is not Is not a town in Georgia? In the state of Georgia. All right, here we go. In the state of Georgia. Is it, Paul? Yeah. A, Experiment.
Starting point is 01:09:31 Okay. The town of Experiment, Georgia. Georgia Experiment. B. B. Toadsuck. Toadsuck. Toadsuck, Georgia.
Starting point is 01:09:41 Toadsuck, Georgia. Cocksuck? No, no, no. No, it's all right. I thought somebody said cocksuck? No, no, no. No, it's all right. I thought somebody said cock suck. No, no one said that. Thank you. Are you sure?
Starting point is 01:09:50 Look, just wait in the room. You know. All right, then. Storytime Grandad's in there, I think. All right. He seems very nice. He's into similar things to you, but perhaps in a bit more of a permanent fashion.
Starting point is 01:10:04 So just go in there. All right. Say hello. I see him. Say hello. Just make sure he doesn't think you're some kind of enemy competent. I won't. Oh, what a lovely old man.
Starting point is 01:10:14 The Americans, Paul, have shown. I know. A is experiment. B is toadsock. And C is. Hope you like it. Hope you like it. Hope you like it. But it's all written as one word. Hope you like it. Hope you like it. It's all written as one word.
Starting point is 01:10:27 Hope you like it. So your options are experiment in Georgia, toad suck in Georgia. Hope you like it. Let's have some of your working. Give us your working. What are you thinking? I think I've heard of experiment. Okay, that's it. So you're going to go for that? No. Which one
Starting point is 01:10:43 isn't a town you're saying? Okay, then you dismiss that one as an option. I'm going to go for that no it's number a i've that's the no which one isn't a town you're saying ah okay then you then you dismiss that one as an option i'm gonna go between toad suck and hope you like it yeah i kind of want to go with toad suck as not being real not being real uh is that your final answer yeah be toad so right you were right. Everyone knows Toadsock is in Arkansas. That's what I was thinking. Of course, this phenomenon is not unique to the States. Britain boasts great snoring, land of nod,
Starting point is 01:11:14 wire piddle, and wet wang. Among its villagers. Nice. And brown knob. And cockamouth. I can hear everything. Oh, God. So, you got that one right. So, if I get this one wrong, we've drawn. Yes.
Starting point is 01:11:30 Okay. Here we go with our next question, Mr. Silverman. There are some quaint bylaws covering driving in Athens. Which of these won't earn you a suspension? Ah, so another negative one. Is it A, being poorly dressed? B, being unbathed or c singing with the window down which one of those won't get you a suspension i don't think they can
Starting point is 01:11:54 they can suspend you for being poorly dressed they could do it for the window down over being unclean i'm sure they could do it for being dirty what if you stunk though yeah what if the car pulls up and it's like... Yeah, so they could. Because this is the one that I think you wouldn't be. Which of these won't earn you a suspension? Being poorly dressed, being unbathed, or singing with the window down?
Starting point is 01:12:16 You're saying B. No, I'm not. Okay, so you're not. You're saying being unbathed will get you a suspension. It could, yeah. Sounds like something that they might be able to suspend someone for. And as does singing out the window. Sounds like something that they could maybe do.
Starting point is 01:12:31 It's absurd, but they could maybe have a rule against that as well. I don't think you can have a rule against being badly dressed. So you're driving down the road. You get pulled over. Yes, what's the problem, officer? This tie doesn't match these trousers. Oh, it's a fair cop. Yeah, exactly. Oh, I knew it. Margaret said
Starting point is 01:12:47 before on FB House. Where did you get that? Giacomo? You've been on Giacomo. You've got one, two, three, four items, Giacomo items, two Primark's. Officer, please go easy on me. It's our first offence. I'll suck your cock. Stop. Right, that's what the answer is. You said
Starting point is 01:13:03 A. Poorly dressed. what the answer is. You said A, poorly dressed. The answer is C. Apparently they only prosecute the badly dressed and smelly rather than those who impose their karaoke skills on unwitting passers-by. Okay, well, we've drawn on that. There you go. We've drawn on that game.
Starting point is 01:13:16 Well, what an interesting item that was. It's not too bad, is it? It's dinner party locks at Christmas Day. Yeah. You can have a chat and learn a little bit at the same time. It's better than your average cracker joke, but you know. Yeah. Oh, I'd much rather have one of these than be cracker than a shit joke.
Starting point is 01:13:30 Yeah. How many fucking ducks does it take to change a light bulb? Quackity five. How many women does it take to fucking change a light bulb? Not enough.

Starting point is 01:14:01 this is Price of Shites. This. Classic Price of Shites episode. When I saw this, I genuinely... When I first saw this, I genuinely decided not to buy it just because it would fill my house with more shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:13 But I couldn't not buy it. Oh, I'm looking forward to this. Because it's such a random, odd, badly advertised thing that I can't fathom what the fuck people were on when they came up with this project. Okay. So I saw this and I thought
Starting point is 01:14:27 I'm not buying that because it's shit. But then I thought I should buy that because it's shit. So I bought this because it's shit. Are you ready, Mr. Silverman?
Starting point is 01:14:36 Or would you like to finish rolling your fucking cigarette first? I'm licking my proverbial lips. So am I. Oh, God. You keep rolling a cigarette, I'll keep bringing it up. I thought he would be distracted
Starting point is 01:14:47 by Storytime Grandad. Well, we'll find out what happens later. Okay. He's always hanging around, isn't he, Storytime Grandad? Yeah, I feel a bit sorry for him.
Starting point is 01:14:55 Just outside the podcast. I feel a bit sorry for him. In the waiting room, you know. He's just sitting there. All of his glories are behind him, you know. Yeah. All the eating genitals.
Starting point is 01:15:02 Yes, weird. The several wars he was in. Well, that's because you know he couldn't readjust to civilian life he couldn't he got kicked out
Starting point is 01:15:12 of that home didn't he yeah for shaping the for he was shaping the the mashed potato into huge cocks
Starting point is 01:15:19 yeah and gnawing at them and he couldn't have them he was gnawing at the potato mashed potato dildos so he comes round there and he just hangs out.
Starting point is 01:15:26 He uses a vending machine. Every now and then I give him some quavers. Yeah. He seems to like them. Prawn cocktail flavour. Whatever I've got. I think you should try
Starting point is 01:15:35 prawn cocktail flavour. Yeah, it's fine. He's fine with whatever. But you know, you could just give him a treat once in a while. Maybe just get a tin of anchovies,
Starting point is 01:15:44 rub them on some normal quavers. Yeah. Or just them a treat once in a while. Maybe just get a tin of anchovies, rub them on some normal crevice. Yeah. Or just fashion a spam knob. Spam knob. Come on, keep saying it until you think it's funny. You're going to fart now as well. You're leaning over.
Starting point is 01:15:54 So, so far, you're doing nothing. You're giving nothing. You're smoking. And just when I'm about to call you up on both of those things, you lean over to fart. I didn't lean over to fart. I'm playing the game. Ladies and gentlemen, when I look at Eli, you know. I didn't lean over to fart. I'm playing the game. Ladies and gentlemen,
Starting point is 01:16:06 when I look at Eli, you know what I see? I see big bucks. I see money. Come on. I see. But I have to also live with everything that comes with, which is his utter disdain
Starting point is 01:16:15 for professionalism. Listen, we'll see how professional I am when I get between, between, between. All right, well. I want to do better and get between,
Starting point is 01:16:22 between times three. You want six betwings tonight. I do want six, but that's, I mean, that's. All right, well. I want to do better and get twing, twing times three. You want six twings tonight. I do want six, but that's a dream. Well, we'll see tonight because I'm about to finally fucking get out this third and final item.
Starting point is 01:16:34 Swap out the third item, Paul. He's handed it to me. Oh, my word. I can see you're thinking. You know what I mean? This is fantastic, Paul. This is the best item we've had on for years. I'm going to have to put this on, aren't I?
Starting point is 01:16:51 Yeah, I'll have to take a picture. We'll do it afterwards. We'll take a picture afterwards. This, ladies and gentlemen, it's in dollars originally. It cost $9.99 originally. Yeah. I think it is an American item.
Starting point is 01:17:01 This is an exercise suit from the early 80s. It's perfect action wear cover-up. And here's some bullet points. For boating, biking, motorcycling, skating, camping, fishing and gardening. The thing is, it's hard to explain exactly what we're looking at right now. It protects you from all weather conditions. It's lightweight for comfort.
Starting point is 01:17:21 It's loose-fitting for easy movement. And it folds small for easy stowing right you can stow this and it's stowed in a box there's a couple on the box she's got a god awful dress on and he's in a suit it's a 70s box yeah very 70s faded i don't understand look at the box and we're going to try to sell which is the suit but it's the smallest image on the box and instead they thought they'll pad it out with an image of two people just holding hands and kissing. Yeah, just bizarre.
Starting point is 01:17:49 Oh, God. And it looks like, so the fabric. Oh, my word. To exercise in. Look at this. And it looks like. I'm going to have to put it on right now. It looks like it's made of tent fabric. Yeah, it's very thick, almost tarpaulin. Not quite. What is that? And it's silver. Very silver. And it's very thick, almost tarpaulin. Not quite. What is that like?
Starting point is 01:18:05 And it's silver. Very silver. And it's got go-faster stripes that are very... This is brilliant. I don't know why you had any doubt about buying this. I like this, Paul. Are those the legs? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:18:18 I don't know. Is it? Maybe it's got no legs. Is there anything else in the box? Oh, no. Oh, it doesn't have pants. It's not mint on card. It's only one. It doesn't have pants. You only got the top. Oh, it doesn't have pants. It's not mint on card. It's only one.
Starting point is 01:18:25 Oh, it doesn't have pants. You only got the top. That's the best bit to get. It's the best bit to have. I don't know the top than the bottom. Look, it's got the back. Made in Taiwan. There you go.
Starting point is 01:18:35 Very plasticky smell in this. Yeah, I can imagine. This might have had a dead person in it last time anyone was in. So I'm taking one for the team here. Oh, God. Oh, what? Get a shot of that, mate. I've got it on now.
Starting point is 01:18:47 You look like if Mork from Mork & Mindy was found in an alleyway drinking turps. It's like, it's a really kind of 70s, but space agey. That's a good bit of costume, mate. But what? Could you imagine trying to exercise in that? You've got nothing on underneath.
Starting point is 01:19:01 Give me the box. You'd sweat like a pig. It's horrible. The picture on the front, there'll you'd sweat like a like a pig it's horrible the picture on the front there'll be an image of this and eli wearing it on our website the cheap show.co.uk look for the accompanying page for this episode so it says exercise suit with sauna action your men are sweating to it and keep fit plan including excise book that's long since gone once i get real hot and sweat into it and that makes you lose weight. One size fits all for men and women. It's just horrible.
Starting point is 01:19:28 What's the company? Dynamic Classic Shape Shop product. They probably make shaping pants and stuff like that as well. 1971, 75 and 1980. It's a real vintage item, isn't it? Really odd thing. And there's a model, a lady model on the
Starting point is 01:19:44 front of the box and she's doing some exercises, doing a bend there. And at the back, there's a model, a lady model on the front of the box and she's doing some exercises, doing a bend there. But it doesn't look... And at the back there's a guy who has a hairstyle just like Dennis Waterman.
Starting point is 01:19:52 For Minder. Yeah. And he's much more doing a much more sort of... He's doing a... Yeah, a swingy swing thing. A swing stretch.
Starting point is 01:19:58 That's a great item. Right, so now you've seen all three items, Eli. You're even wearing one of the items. It's a fashion... Oh, 1980, it says there. Yeah Eli. You're even wearing one of the items. It's a fashion... 1980, it says there. Yeah, that's the copyright of the company.
Starting point is 01:20:10 They did the copyright again in the 80s. This has got a very... Or there's something on the side. There's something on the side. Stay in condition, keep in shape. It's like having a portable sauna bath. I'm starting to heat up in this thing. With nothing to plug in, nothing to adjust, nothing to apply.
Starting point is 01:20:23 One size fits all. It's really warm. Just slip on the suit and wear it while you work, play or exercise. Do housework in it. Relax in it. Read a book or watch TV. Wear it over a swimsuit, playsuit or any cotton clothing. It seals in body heat to keep you shed
Starting point is 01:20:39 extra moisture. It certainly does. I'm starting to shed extra moisture. After using your exercise suit, just wash it and hang it up to dry. It folds easy to shed extra moisture. After using your exercise suit, just wash it and hang it up to dry. It folds easy for carrying and storage. Includes a book and all the stuff
Starting point is 01:20:51 you need for the book to make you thin. Stock 712. Right. Oh, it's so hot. Really, already? Yeah. Maybe it's good
Starting point is 01:21:00 for the winter months. You don't have to dress as much. No, it's awful. Take it off. Oh, God. Thank God. Really?
Starting point is 01:21:09 So basically, it's a top you put on to sweat your tits off. And trousers, but we don't have the trousers. Thank God for that. That is horrible. I'm not putting it back on again, by the way. That's fine. I'll wear it for the photograph then, because you're a big loser. You won't fit in there.
Starting point is 01:21:24 I'm getting a pen, but not to write the scores down, but to stab you in the eye. That would be bad. Ah! Ah! My career as an actor is over! Not necessarily.
Starting point is 01:21:37 Peter Falk made a pretty good one as a one-eyed detective in Columbo. But you could see he still had an eye. Sammy Davis Jr. also had an eye. I'll give you a glass eye. Did he have a glass eye, Peter Falk? Yeah. And Sammy Davis Jr.? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:47 He lost his in a car accident, and I can't remember where Peter Falk lost his now. In the war, didn't he? Maybe. He served in the war? Maybe. He did, yeah, he did. So maybe he did.
Starting point is 01:21:54 He was ex-military, wasn't he? Yeah. I seem to remember that. So I could stab you in the eye, and your career could go on, Eli. Are you ready? I'm going to write down the scores. Hang on, let me write down the answers first
Starting point is 01:22:03 so you know I'm not cheating. Okay, I'd like you to give me a few things to help me here, Paul. Are you ready? I'm going to write down the scores. Hang on, let me write down the answers first so you know I'm not cheating. Okay, I'd like you to give me a few things to help me here, Paul. Two of the items have original prices on the box, which is adding another wrinkle to this. Yeah. The magic vase was bought in a place called AB Superstores originally. £2.50. But even that must have been discounted from its original sale, I reckon. That was in America, the
Starting point is 01:22:26 sweatsuit. Exercise suit, yeah. $9.99. Again, that might have been a discount store down from probably $40-odd when it originally came out. It's a handwritten $9.99, isn't it? So, what do you want to know before you give your prices? I'd like to know which charity shop you bought all of these from. So, I bought the exercise
Starting point is 01:22:41 suit in Heart Foundation, British Heart Foundation in Harrow. I bought the exercise suit in British Heart Foundation in Harrow. I found the magic vase in RSPCA in Harrow. And I found the quiz cards in a Barnardo's in Pinner. And what is 50p more expensive than the most expensive item? There's a sort of ceiling on it. Okay, I spent no more than £6. On any one item altogether?
Starting point is 01:23:09 Altogether, the overall price did not exceed £6. About 50p less than £6. Well, I'm just saying, because I might have spent £5.01. That's a lot. It'd still be correct. So it doesn't mean I've spent £6. Okay, so let's do this in order. Starting with the magic vase as seen on TV. Eli, give us a price. I think it's like £1.50. I mean, that's spent six quid. Okay, so let's do this in order. Starting with the magic vase as seen on TV.
Starting point is 01:23:25 Eli, give us a price. I think it's like 150. I mean, that's too much for it. But I think I'm going to go for 150 on that. 150. Next. Two pounds for the cards, I'm thinking. Two pounds for the game.
Starting point is 01:23:38 Yes, the card game, the matchbox card game. Okay, and finally the exercise suit. I just don't think anyone could ask more than a quid for that, really, because it's... Because it's shit. But that would only make me come up to £3.50, wouldn't it? I'm going to do that. I'm going to go with that, Paul. Yeah? £1.10. £1.10? Just so I might
Starting point is 01:23:56 get in the 25p range of something, you know. Hedge my bets there on that. Here we go. The first item, Paul, today, is the magic vase. But it's more than one. It's three. You actually get three. That's not bad value for money, even if today, was the magic vase. But it's more than one. It's three. You actually get three. It's not bad value for money, even if the thing itself has no value.
Starting point is 01:24:10 And it's bad advertising. I should say magic vases. Vases. Vases. Vases. Right. You said £1.50. I said £1.50.
Starting point is 01:24:21 The price was £1. Oh, fuck. £1. So. Fuck this. Here we go. Next one. You said the quiz was. £2. £1. Oh, fuck. £1. So. Fuck this. Here we go. Next one. You said the quiz was. £2.
Starting point is 01:24:28 £2. The actual price of the quiz was £1.50. Fuck. £1.50. But don't worry. You might get it right with the last one. You might get at least a per twing. I don't think I'm going to get one per twing.
Starting point is 01:24:42 For the exercise suit, you said £1.10. The actual price was £2.50. Fuck that! But I had to get it. Yeah. I had to. Tube show audience need to know about exercise suit. I think we should modify it by cutting down the front so it's like an exercise jacket.
Starting point is 01:25:01 Oh, yeah, like a sexy jacket from the future yeah yeah you can put a zip hey maybe uh we can give it to teen yeti well he doesn't i mean he's got a stylist and yeah but he could maybe you know make it look good well he'd make anything look good yeah he's got sick style you know but he wouldn't want to put it on without an opening in it because it gets very matted and then you know what happens with with him? You know, he's got his famous gimmick, he's the Waggonauts. They're clanking in the wind. You know, they're like a musical. He does rhymes about it, you know,
Starting point is 01:25:31 on his latest album. The old Stalag Plops. My clagasides are clanking in the wind. Oh, get off! He's trying to eat my balls! Oh, story time! Get off! Story time, granddad!
Starting point is 01:25:42 What is all this? You put me in a room, ah, ah, ah, room with an old man and he starts trying to eat my paws. I'm sorry about that. Story time, grandad. Just calm down. We'll get you your quavers in a minute, yeah? I've got a tray of quavers in the ovens for you. Right then.
Starting point is 01:25:56 I am off to look into another charity shop in the future for more brilliant price of shite material. Oh, I... Get him away from me! Oh, come on, you little vat, the drax, so you are. I've gone right off the idea of sucking cock. Oh, I'd like to suck it. Just cut it off first, put it in the oven.
Starting point is 01:26:16 And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how we've decided to end this segment. I'm putting my foot down now and ending it on this moment. So I think it's about time we wrapped up, isn't it? Fine. Did you literally wait until I pressed stop before you let that dirty fart off? That's not for them to know.
Starting point is 01:26:41 Yeah, but it's for me to smell, isn't it, right now? No, it's fine. Look what I'm looking at. No, it's not. Safe. Look what I'm looking at. It's pure safeness. Don't spray that. I've got to do some work tomorrow. This is like mace for me. This Febreze is like mace. When you do
