Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
Eli Silverman here.
I'm Paul Gannon as well.
It's Paul.
It's Paul Gannon.
And with me is Eli Silverman.
Hello, everyone.
I've run out of energy.
I've run out of energy.
I've run out of energy.
You didn't.
You don't know where they are.
Yeah, but before you knew that I didn't know that you knew where they were, I'd looked
at the answers.
Well, you won't get any petwings.
Well, maybe I will.
No.
That's it.
You've fucking ruined it already.
Have I?
Yeah.
Ladies and gentlemen, there have been a multitude of emails and tweets in my direction about
how Eli spoiled Cheap Show with his fragrant abuse of the rules.
Yeah, you know what I've got to say to those people?
One or two people were, like, betrayed, as I was.
Paul, well, you know what?
No, in all seriousness.
We let it go an episode ago.
In all seriousness.
Shush, shush, shush, your fat, beardy lip mouth.
Right.
It's going to be like that, is it?
It's going to be like that.
You've fucking been all nicey-nicey.
I've got a grumble on.
Yeah.
All poor me.
And then as soon as we press record,
fat bearded cunt mouth lip cunt.
Yeah.
Look, look, look.
Anyway, a lot of people are right.
You know what?
I wanted to address that.
I wanted to address that.
Hold that thought.
Welcome to the Cheap Show.
I hate you and your. Hold that thought. Welcome to the cheap show. I hate you
and your fucking noodle posse.
People love noodles.
It's just a fact of cheap show
you're going to have to learn
to fucking accept.
Cheap Show
Off-brand rap, off-brand rap, off-brand rap
Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap
Cheap Show
It's the price of shade
Paul Gannon Eli Silverman
Welcome to Cheat Show
And I go and I nuzzle
Right, come on, address it
Basically
This has become a mockery
Paul, it's a fucking comedy podcast.
No one's keeping score.
You prove to me that this is a comedy podcast right now.
I don't know if I'm going to be able to today.
You prove to me right now.
I feel very unfunny.
Yeah?
Yeah.
No, really.
Well, scratch that up for one more week of that frame of mind, ladies and gentlemen.
What frame of mind?
Week after week after week.
I'm not very funny today, Paul.
I can't believe you, buddy.
Why, Eli?
Why?
Are you hungover?
I am hungover.
Or I'm poorly.
No, I'm only hungover.
Or I'm a fat, pathetic shit.
Fuck off.
Paul.
What?
Can we start again?
I think it's really been bad.
Let's start one more time.
It's all right.
This is fine.
No, it's not.
This is what people want now of Cheap Show.
It's too hot in here.
The house of pickles is sweltering.
It is.
It's a sweaty room today.
And the weird thing is, you start this episode off with the sunglasses and the lamp pointed
at me.
And for a moment, I thought I was being interrogated.
Well, you are.
Right.
So you ruined the price of shite out of spite.
I didn't ruin it.
Now you want to defend that decision.
I spiced it up.
My spin on it is this.
Yeah.
I spiced it up
with a little bit of what we call
the Silverman je ne sais quoi.
Yeah.
I sprinkled a little magic
into the format.
You dribbled.
I spiced it up.
A little ghost pepper. A little ghost pepper.
A little ghost pepper grinder.
Ghost pepper grinder pepper.
Are you saying to me, you did to Price of Shite what Eli Silverman would do to a noodle?
He pimped it.
I pimped it up.
He pimped that segment up.
And if people can't take a joke, if people think, oh, you've broken the rules, they can
fuck off and listen to fucking other episodes of this show
when you've done numerous rug pulls
and at the fucking live show did a whole fucking
this is your life thing
where you made up a load of shit about me.
Do you know what, though?
If you just put the effort in, you could be witty too
and come up with segments like that.
I put the extra inch in.
I put the whole extra inch in.
Yeah, I inch it in.
What inch?
Inch man will tell you.
Oh, here he comes.
Here he comes. Here he comes.
Once again.
It's one of your parking characters.
For no reason.
Inch.
Right.
How many do you want?
Just the one inch, please, today, sir.
All right.
Inch.
All right, I'm off.
Bye, sir.
See you.
Thank you.
Why do you feel compelled to do that?
Go in.
What? Why do you feel compelled to make that? Go in. What?
Why do you feel compelled to make that sound?
I'm Inchman.
God, it's hot in here.
Move along.
Want another inch?
Any more?
A foot?
Half a foot?
Two centimetres?
That's approximately an inch.
Already I've forgotten what I was talking about.
Two centimetres?
Shall I go?
I don't know.
If anyone wants another inch.
Inch!
You can go now.
Can I have that one for free.
Do you want two free inches?
Come on, do you want two?
This character does not work for me.
You want three?
This character gives me nothing.
Can you not see the pain on my face?
What am I meant to say to?
Do I want an inch?
Yes.
I'm hoping you'll say yes.
What comedy?
Eli, step outside the podcast a minute.
I can't. I'm Inchman.
Shall I go first?
God.
Before Eli steps out?
Three free inches.
Go on.
They're free.
Do you want them?
Six minutes in and you have broken me.
Do you want them?
You have fractured my heart.
I, Inchman, ask you,
do you want these three free inches before I fuck off? I do not want the three. Inch, Inch, Inch. My heart. I, Inchman, ask you, do you want these three free inches before I fuck off?
I do not want the three...
Itch, itch, itch!
You got them!
I'm going.
Bye!
Bye, Inchman.
What a charming...
Charming fella.
Did you want to step out of the podcast?
No, it's fine, mate.
It's weird.
No, come on.
No, Paul, I think we should.
All right, hang on.
Let's do it.
Just up round here.
Up round here.
Just down this... Yeah, here. Because they've reloc on. Let's do it. Just up round here. Up round here. Just down this...
Yeah, here.
Because they've relocated the exit.
I know.
It's down through the ante room.
Up here.
Yeah.
So what, did you want to just sort of say anything, Paul?
I just don't like Inchman.
He gives me nothing.
Paul.
He gives me nothing.
He gives you inches.
What? He gives you as many Paul. He gives me nothing. He gives you inches. What?
He gives you as many inches as you want, Paul.
What comedy can I get out of that?
What can I do?
You don't have to do the comedy.
You just play along.
At least, well, how?
If I do a character, you just play along, yeah?
Just play along with it.
All right.
All right.
I'll see you downstairs then.
I'm going to go back.
I'll go back.
I'll go back first.
I'll go back first.
You go back first? Yes, I go back first. Because when I edit this, I always hear you downstairs then. I'm going to go back. I'll go back. I'll go back first. I'll go back first. You go back first?
Yes, I go back first.
Because when I edit this, I always hear you call me a cunt.
Just before you...
Let's try and have some fun.
Inchman is fun.
Yeah, Inchman is fun.
Inchman is not fun.
I want that on the record.
I want...
There's no record.
We're outside the podcast.
I want to say...
This is not canon.
All right, well, to your face.
We're on top of the podcast.
To your face, I would like you to say I don't like it.
Look at me.
Look at me.
I don't like Inchman.
I have to say that to you?
No.
I'm saying this right now to you.
You pull to me, Eli, outside the podcast.
Mate, what's going on?
You go back down first.
I'm going back down first.
I'm doing it.
Fucking cunt.
Every time.
This is fucking bullshit.
Are you ready, Eli?
I'm still doing the podcast.
All right, I'm back.
I've got a new character.
Yes.
Meet a man.
I mean, meet a, meet a, meet a, meet a, meet a man.
Meet a man.
Meet a man.
Meet a man.
Why have you got why?
Would you like a meter?
Would you like a meter, sir? I see, this is your... would you like a meter would you like a meter sir i see this is your would you like a meter sir isn't that funny no
would you like a meter sir meter sir no a meter so sir meters would you like a sore meters

times and he's not really catching on no right i keep saying this you don't have to do a sort of
knockoff character but my character meter man is the point isn't it it's like you looking at going
what is inherently he's got no he's got no attack though meter man thaterman. Bosh, that's my reply to you about Inchman.
What else have you got about Meaterman?
We should keep this outside the podcast.
We're back into the main carcass of the podcast.
Right, well then, welcome to Cheap Show, the economy comedy podcast,
where me and Eli go for the charity shops, the bargain bins, the thrift stores,
and beyond, and look for the bargains amongst the...
Oh, God.
Let me try.
Let me try.
Go for it.
Hello, welcome to Cheap Show, the economy comedy podcast where me, Eli Silverman, and my co-host
Paul Gannon go through the charity shops, discount stores, bargain basements, bazaars,
jumble sales, and any kind of place where cheap stuff is available to trawl through
the trash and find the wonders in the weirdness and the bargains in the brain damage.
He's panicking.
I can see it.
Welcome to Cheap Show.

Look, all-purpose sauce.
I use that for everything now.
Do you?
Do you?
Yeah.
It's disgusting.
Yeah, but, you know, it's fine,
because any purpose you've got,
you just slap it on, so, you know.
Well, I just had to send my CV to...
Did you pour all-purpose sauce on your CV?
You just pour it straight on the laptop.
It does that.
Does it?
Does it?
What if...
I had some kind of boil in my armpit.
Poured some of it on that.
All-purpose sauce, cleaned it right off.
I had this dilemma, this maths thing.
Yeah?
I was trying to do some maths.
Poured it on my head, did the maths.
That's interesting.
Sorry, I just wanted to...
Go on.
Don't pour it on me.
Well, no, you're saying...
I'm going to just say...
Don't pour...
Don't get that sort of... It was a joke. It'll clean the room up, won't it? me. Don't pour. Don't get that sauce.

He's holding the all-purpose sauce to his neck.
You tried a bit funny.

The sauce will do it.
Help me.
You're being attacked by the sauce.
The sauce is holding me to hostage.
It's holding me hostage, Eli.
No, I prefer that first version.
To hostage.
He's holding me to hostage.
Come on, mate.
Put the sauce down.
Pick up.
It might be the hostage takers.
Hello.
Hello.
This is all-purpose sauce.
I've got Paul here.
Weird that you're talking to me on the phone and you're also there in the room with me.
He's my associate.
That's another...
How can there be two?
There can only be one all-purpose sauce.
I'm Alan All-Purpose and I'm source. His name is Alan All-Purpose, and I'm...
John.
John.
John All-Purpose.
Right, and you as a team are holding Paul hostage.
Two hostages.
Oh, they're serious, Eli.
They're really serious.
All right, I'll do whatever it takes to release Paul.
Right, I want you to smother Alan all over your meters.
Smother Alan.
Okay, give it.
Oh, I'm free.
Oh, what a good day.
Worst impromptu section ever.

No, he kind of came up
with his phone
and said,

Did he pick it?
And he said,

That's one that everyone likes,
isn't it?
Trying to persuade me.
Do you know what I mean?
Oh, you're right.
Where was this?
Blues Kitchen, Shoreditch.
Yeah.
No, you don't have Oasis there.
Don't play Oasis there.
Any of the Blues Kitchens.
No, because they're shit.
They don't do that kind of
genre of music there,
as far as I know. In my opinion, in my opinionation, in my humble opinion, I don't play Oasis there. At any of the blues kitchens. No, because they're shit. They don't do that kind of genre of music there, as far as I know.
In my opinion.
In my opinionation.
In my humble opinion, I don't rate Oasis.
Sorry.
If you had, if you, Guns Ahead.
No, if all purpose sourced.
Guns Ahead.
There's a lot of Guns Ahead.
All purpose sourced to your throat, right?
If you had to play an Oasis track, what one would you play?
Oh, no.
You've got to do it, Eli.
What Oasis track would you one would you play? Oh, no. You've got to do it, Eli. What Oasis track

That would be the best one.
Definitely Maybe.
Yeah.
So, yeah, he came up and said, play away.

Welcome to Cheap Eats.
And what happens on Cheap Eats, Paul?
We go through little corners of the shops.
Oh, fuck.
I don't know what's wrong today.
Don't fart as well.
You make me laugh.
My failure. The look through the corners
of what?
We taste food.
Why did corners? Corners of
what? We look through the little
corners of what?
We taste cheap food. You keep giving yourself
these sentences, these unresolvable
sentences.
There's no way out of that sentence.
Paul Gannon and his new album
Unresolved Sentences.
Right.
Oh my love, I adore you
like a...
And his greatest hit
Do you remember when I...
Paul. Yeah.
Cheap Eats is the section of the show
where we taste
cheap food items
and we give our
honest opinions on them
and maybe they come
from a shop like Lidl
or maybe they come
from a corner shop
or maybe they come from
sometimes they give us stuff
don't they
in the PO box
we get sent a lot
of Cheap Eats
these days
so what would you like
to start with
because I can start with mine
and get out of the way
get yours out of the way.
I'm interested to see what you've brought along.
So what's interesting is that this came in the PO box
with no note, no letter who it's from.
I'm going to show you one of them
because I got sent a pack of 12.
So let me just get this picture ready.
Here we go.
Bear with me.
You only brought one along, then?
One along because I got a pallet of 12. Ooh, this picture ready. Here we go. Bear with me. You only brought one along, though. One along. Because? They're large.
I got a pallet of 12.
Ooh, this is interesting.
So there's 12 of those and a great big pallet.
He's handed me what looks like a plastic coffee cup sized item.
Yes.
Like a disposable coffee cup.
Yeah.
But it has a film top on it.
It does, yes.
Similar to a pot noodle. It's akin to it. And it says coffee cup. Yeah. But it has a film top on it. It does, yes. Similar to a pot noodle.
It's akin to it.
And it says Ninja Noodles.
Yes.
Ninja Noodles, and it says gummy noodles, candy sauce.
It says sauce here.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
I've not opened them yet, so I don't know.
Sauce.
Candy chopsticks.
There's sauce.
This is some kind of replica sweet noodle.
It's a candy instant noodle. It's a candy instant noodle.
It's a candy Nissan.
Interesting item.
So bear with me one second.
I'll use my face to open my fucking phone.
So yeah, they came in like a pack of 12.
Wow.
So they've been sitting on a shelf at the top of my cupboard in the kitchen for ages.
And I thought, oh shit, yeah.
So that was you.
Thank you.
I knew there was candy noodles existing.
Yeah.
But I don't think we've ever had them on the show before.
No, you're about to try it now by peeling back the film.
I'll peel back the film at the top.
And see what's in...
Oh, he's giving it a hoof.
Very fruity gum hoof.
Can I have a fruity gum hoof?
You can.
Ooh.
Very vimto-y.
Vimto-y, yes.
Sort of all fruit.
Vimto is the kind of artificial fruit flavour.
It's that generic, general fruit flavour, isn't it?
Yeah. So what's inside?
There's a lot of sachets inside. Is there?
Yes. I'll hand this to you. That's the
noodles, I believe. They're green. Okay,
so that's just gummy noodles.
Here are the chopsticks.
So like they're chalk candy
chopsticks or something? Yes, and they look like
those when they used to get candy cigarettes.
They look like they're made of the same stuff, which was a kind
of chalky white
sort of hard
here's the sauce
six sided
octagonal
yeah I think that's a mistake
because chopsticks
they don't look like chopsticks
no they don't
but they're two sticks
because this is the equivalent
of a sort of
like fake burger candy
yeah
by
what's that called
trolley
here's the sauce
what sauce is that
it's the candy sauce.
Now, shall we assemble this?
Of course.
Shall we assemble it? Of course.
How about we try a bit separately,
and then you can put it all in the pot at the end?
Sure.
I'm up for that.
Now, I'm having trouble getting into this.
Scissors are there.
I'll pass you the meters.
The meters hook, thank you.
Yeah.
Problem is, these scissors are covered in hemp oils.
Right.
Here's the noodles.
I'd like to have a try of one of those.
Okay.
You know, as it comes.
Grab a bit of that.
Grab a little bit.
They're green and yellow and blue.
There we go.
I'm going to try this one.
I'm going to dump the remainder into the pot.
Not great.
No?
No, they have that...
Not quality.
The only way I can describe it is...
Hair drop, sore taste?
No.
Do you know that fake...
Mate, it's gone.
It's gone again.
It's gone again.
Paul.
It's fake gummy jelly beans.
You know the jelly bean knock-off? Oh, the cheap jelly beans. It's got that kind of. It's fake jelly beans. You know the jelly bean knockoff?
Oh, the cheap jelly beans.
It's got that kind of texture and that kind of flavour.
That kind of crumbly, sweet sensation, you know?
They're sort of almost powdery, those cheap ones.
The crystallised.
It's the crystallised sugar.
Yeah.
They've almost got that flow.
These.
They're not very gummy.
Well, they are gummy, but they...
Have a little bite.
See what I mean?
I'll see what you mean.
Do you see what I mean? They've got
that kind of fake jelly bean gummy
texture almost.
They're not very good.
Now he's put them in the pot now, the rest.
I've put them in the pot and I've got this sauce squeezer.
Yeah, what a strange concoction.
This is like those candy sprays and the candy
roll-on we had as well. I don't know. I think it's going to be
thicker. I think it's going to be like, you know,
those gummy pops that you could squirt out.
I think you need to squirt
it onto the noodles, don't you? Yeah, you just squirt it right on.
So he's adding the sauce now to the noodles in the pot
as you would if it was a real noodle.
Oh, it's clear. I can't
expect it to have some colour.
But it does look like you've just squeezed spoff all over your noodles.
It is so spoffy, man.
That is pre-cum.
Hello.
Hello.
Who sent you this? your noodles. It is so spoffy, man. It is. That is pre-cum. That is pre-cum. Hello. Hello.
Who sent you this?
I don't know. That's the point. I don't know who sent this. Was it El Ken?
Mr. El Ken.
His pseudonym. Yeah, maybe.
I don't know. Oh, God, it's getting everywhere.
Can I have the tube? I'll have a little lick
of the tip. Lick the tip of the tube, mate.
Alright. Ooh. What? Nasty. Now, look, Paul, I'm using these Can I have the tube? I'll have a little lick of the tip. Lick the tip of the tube, mate. All right.
Ooh.
What?
Nasty.
Now, look, Paul, I'm using these chopsticks.
He is.
He's using the chopsticks, ladies and gentlemen.
And I'm hooking some of this.
It's actually quite sour, this fruit sauce.
Well, it's just like, because they're sweet.
There's no sourness to the noodles, is there?
Look, I've got some in the...
Yeah, he's poured the goo all over the noodles,
and he's used the chalky sticks to put the gummy noodles in his dirty gobble. How is there? Look, I've got some in the... Yeah, he's poured the goo all over the noodles and he's used the chalky sticks
to put the gummy noodles
in his dirty gobble.
How is it?
Because it looks disgusting.
Not great.
No, it doesn't look it.
What about the sticks?
Are they crunchy?
Are they like...
Yeah, taste the other end of that.
I'll have a taste
of the other end of that.
I thought it was going to taste
a little bit more floral.
You know, like those musk sticks.
It's pure novelty bullshit.
Yeah, that is...
Terrible thing.
Terrible.
You've got 13 of them, isn't it?
I've got 11 more to get rid of now.
Right, I need a score from you.
Well, two.
Five, two.
Two.
I'll go one.
I'm only giving it an extra one because of the novelty.
I just wish it had the flavour of a kind of Haribo gummy or... It's just not very high quality any of this no none of its high quality it's a novelty
item do you want 11 more of these to try i could probably no again it's that sort of trope as well
that kabuti noodles did as well of using a sort of yeah a stereotypical sort of Far Eastern... Fucking stick a ninja on it.
Stick a ninja on it.
That's like noodles.
And it's also, weirdly,
sort of trying to say noodles are sort of exotic
or like, look at these strange things
and we've replicated it.
Do you know what I mean?
But made it very kind of Western.
Yeah.
So, all right, well, there you go.
Ninja noodles.
Not amazing.
Now let's go on to a more authentically far eastern Asian drink.
This is a Paldo, and a Paldo made that cheese ramen that we tried.
Oh, God.
Remember that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That was all right, that.
That was a decent ramen.
But wait, they made a drink?
Yes.
A Paldo just like a generic company?
I think they're a Korean food company, yes.
Okay, so they're not known for noodles, per se.
I didn't know they made drinks until I saw this item in Chinatown.
So what is it?
It is a sweet cinnamon punch.
Oh, you know what it looks like?
It looks like those tins you see of like, you know, Caribbean ginger ale.
Yeah.
It's got that kind of, it's like the orange and the thing.
Now, yeah, it's obviously some kind of Korean.
It's very short and stout, isn't it?
It says Korean traditional beverage.
When I read the words traditional, it could be one of two things, bitter or just nasty in some way.
To me, already I'm thinking this is going to taste like a kind of very, very spicy ginger ale.
Right.
But with the spice being cinnamon instead of ginger.
Okay.
The cover shows, the can's picture shows some kind of...
Looks like a bowl of soup.
With some kind of log floating in it.
Is that meant to be a fruit or something?
Is that a cinnamon pod?
It's quite a...
What's cinnamon look like in real life?
Cinnamon is bark.
Oh, of course it is.
At boarding school, my friend Farhad Tiabji used to get scented. And he'd be sharing it out with me. Cinnamon? Yeah, bark. Oh, of course it is. At boarding school, my friend Farhad Tiabji used to get sent it
and he'd be sharing it out with me.
Cinnamon?
Yeah, bark.
And you'd chew the bark.
It's lovely.
You'd love it.
No, I'm pretty sure I've had it.
It rings a bell.
That would be good for you.
Good snack.
I'd like that.
I like licorice sticks.
You know the ones that are like trees?
The actual tree ones, yeah.
Cinnamon bark is very similar.
I used to chew on those
when I was a kid.
I still bite my fingernails a lot.
Parents tried to get me to have the thing and it didn't work.
So then I just eat the whole stick.
Listen, mate, if I see some cinnamon bark somewhere, I'll get you some.
I think you can get them in those health food shops still.
Anyway, sorry.
So let's try this.
So you haven't tried this before?
I have not tried it before.
This is new territory for us here on Cheap Eats, Paul.
Let's, I mean, officially, it should be on our Cheap Eats subsidiary program.
Yeah, the soda jerk.
The soda jerk.
Sous-Yong-Gua.
That's, yeah, that's what it is.
Ponche de la Cannelle.
Now, for all you French listeners.
I'm cracking the tab.
Now, does it have a scent, sir?
Oh, it's got a cheeky scent, judging
by those purse lips. That's got a very strong
cinnamon flavour. Can I have a snuffle?
Smells like a cake. Snuffles for drinks.
That's my new word. I snuffle
drinks, but I huff snacks.
Now that's a snuffle worth snuffling.
That's a very Christmassy smell.
Well, cinnamon is one of the Christmas spices, isn't it?
It's probably my favourite of the Christmas spices.
Oh, it's very brown, isn't it?
It doesn't look carbonated.
I don't think it's particularly carbonated anyway.
I don't think it's carbonated at all.
It seems flat.
I'll have this one, then.
Cheers.
Salute.
Salute.
Oh, fuck, that's very sweet.
It's all right.
Yeah.
But as someone who's cutting back on sugar,
right now, that is the sweetest thing. Is it? Yeah. It's not too bad. No, it's nice right. Yeah. But as someone who's cutting back on sugar, right now, that is the sweetest thing.
Is it?
Yeah.
It's not too bad.
No, it's nice.
Weirdly, and I don't know why,
but weirdly, I can imagine warming this up would be quite nice.
Oh, it'd be great.
Warm.
How's it meant to warm it?
No.
Maybe.
That's quite nice.
Yeah.
It's very sweet, and it's got a lot of cinnamon,
but it hasn't got that sharp cinnamon.
No.
It doesn't burn at all.
It's gentle.
It's got the cinnamon that you'd have
in a can of Cinnabon.
You know what I mean?
It's that candy.
It's not like those hot tamales
where it burns or, you know, like a...
Oh, I don't know.
I don't know about that.
There's no bits in it.
No, no bits in it.
It's fine.
You know what I mean?
It's fine.
It's not my cup of tea.
What would you give it out of three?
Five.
Objectively, 3.5.
I'd say, yeah, 3.
I wouldn't go for it.
Not that big on cinnamon, you know?
But maybe on a cold day, you put it in the microwave for a bit,
wobbly, wobbly, warm it, drink it down, gobble, gobble.
Do I have to wobbly, wobbly, warm it?
Can I just warm it?
No, the sound effect.
Why would I have to wobbly, wobbly, warm it?
Because that's the sound it makes.
I don't want it.
I don't want to cutify anything about my life.
I don't want to go wobbly, wobbly.
Wobbly, wobbly. I do not want to say that when I'm warming up a fucking drink.'t want to cutify anything about my life. I don't want to go wobbly wobbly. Wobbly wobbly.
I do not want to say that when I'm warming up a fucking drink.
I want to get that wobbly, a wobbly, a warm back drink.
It's when you make a cup of tea, you go and tiggly, tiggly tea time.
I do.
Do you?
I go, who wants a cup of tiddly, tiddly tea?
Are you annoying?
Or coffee, anyone?
Tiddly tea or coffee?
Who wants it, ladies and gentlemen?
I might have some more of this.
A pot pizza. Fridge pizza. Oh, it, ladies and gentlemen? I might have some more of this. Cook a pot pizza.
Fridge pizza.
Oh, God,
it's depressing watching you.
It's like the world's saddest zoo.
I just come in here
and look at you.
You're like a fucking ugly panda.
You just sit here.
Ugly panda?
Yeah.
Sexless,
rolling around on your tummy,
putting food in your mouth,
playing on a swing.
What have we got next?
I don't know, mate.
You take your time
and eat your fucking food
while we're making a podcast.
Go on.
It's a cheap eat section.
Yeah, but the pizza
isn't part of this section, is it?
This is just you eating.
I could give it a score.
I don't want a score.
A four out of five.
Very nice.
Do you like cold pizza?
No, I don't.
I'm one of those people who,
if it's cold,
it has to have been made to be cold.
If it was a hot meal and it's gone cold, I can't touch it.
Something about cold pizza.
No.
Ooh, I'll wash it down with some of this.
Cinnamon punch.
Oh, God.
You know what would go lovely with this?
Privacy.
Some black pudding flavoured crisps.
Oh!
Segway.
You know what?
It's not a good one
but I'll take it.
Here we go.
So there's a thing
about this
because I think
didn't we say
oh you can't get
black pudding crisps
and that's what led to this
or is this just
convergence
because Mrs Biffo
happened to have
some nearby or something.
How do we get these crisps?
He got sent them.
He's always on the crisp lookout because we did that video about those.
He's got a crisp problem, you know, Biffo.
Does he really?
Do you remember when he did Cheap Show like two years ago, the first time he came on?
Oh, yeah, he got all those crisps.
He hadn't done crisps in years.
And it was like, oh, I can't really touch him.
Oh, I can't.
He was allergic.
No, but it felt like we were dealing with
a crack addict.
He's got a real
crisp issue, doesn't
he?
He's got a crisp
addict issue.
He loves crisps.
Do you see that
look in his eye?
Watch the videos
back of those crisps
at the prison, Chris.
They are amazing
though, Paul.
Those whole shebang
are amazing crisps.
Those are one of the
best crisps I've ever
eaten in my life.
Fair enough.
They were too much
for me.
I thought they were
too much.
No, not really. My cup of tea. Too much flavour. Yeah. Over strong. They were too much for me. I thought they were too much. No, not really.
My cup of tea.
Too much flavour.
Yeah.
Over strong.
Too much going on.
Too much going on.
Either one thing or other.
Right.
Now, I have a scissors.
You have a scissors.
Yeah.
I have a scissors.
Yeah.
And that means I'm going to be able to apply a technical super huff.
Yes.
Injection huff test on this.
Now, what are we doing first
before we get any further?
It's a crisp
that we were given
in quite huge quantities
by Mr. Biffo
and Mrs. Biffo.
They got sent
obviously a huge batch.
Fiddler's Lancashire crisps
and what's the flavour?
Black pudding
and English mustard.
Now, to be clear
and to be honest
with the listening audience
we have eaten these already
because we got like 20 packs.
I haven't had any.
I haven't tasted these.
Oh, I've had like three packs of them.
Oh, right.
I took a load.
Because they said,
I have some crisps.
And because they said
they gave some to you already,
I just presumed you'd had them already.
No, I keep the thing pure.
I care about this podcast, Paul.
How fucking dare you say that?
I care about it. The actual implication in that tone of voice of yours, suggesting, Paul. How fucking dare you say that? I care about it.
The actual implication in that tone of voice
of yours, suggesting I don't
care about a podcast that I
weekly edit for hours of my day,
run the social media, do the website,
all the promotion, booking the live shows,
running after Patreon, doing my best with that.
Matey, matey boy.
You are a naughty sausage.
Paul, I wasn't implying anything i'm just saying the very
goal i was just saying i care about the sanctity of these reviews we do on cheap eats yeah okay
and i save myself yeah i punish myself it's a little bit of self-flagellation do you want
those crisps are you peckish yes, I will not have those crisps because
I want to come clean.
I want to come to it cold.
That's filthy panda logic, mate, and you know it.
Right, so you've already
tasted these crisps. Yes. Now, I'm not
going to give my opinion until you've tried them, but
I will say I've never seen a
black pudding flavour before and I was interested in
it as a result. I've never. These must
be the only black pudding flavour.
Well, I can't imagine
there's never, ever
been black pudding crisps.
But I couldn't tell you
what brand who made it,
what country, where.
It's a strange thing
to make a crisp flavour out of
because so much of what
a black pudding actually is
is the texture.
Isn't it?
Do you know what I mean?
But it still has a distinctive taste.
It has a meaty flavour,
but I mean,
you know when you're eating
It's like a sausage flavour crisp.
That sounds like an advert then. You know
when you eat black pudding. Right.
You know. That's one of the things that
made you turn vegetarian, black pudding, wasn't it?
Yeah.
No, it was the horrible burgers in school
that had bubbles in. Oh, God.
We used to have burgers that were floppy and pale
and thin and they had bubbles on the skin.
I remember eating one and the burger went
and I cut it
and I was like
that was it
that was literally
aged like 16
I think it was
I'm going to be
vegetarian for a bit
that is terrible
your burger exhaling
yeah it did
it felt like
it was last breath
right
imagine the huff
on that air pocket
that came out
of that burger as well
that would be
a proper beefy air pocket
it's funny
even thinking back
I know exactly
where I was sitting in the school dining hall.
I know exactly what the smell was.
You know what I mean?
You have those moments.
That smell of old school school dinners, man.
It never leaves you, does it?
Chicken pot pie with its creamy, creamy...
Right.
Coronavirus.
Oh, coronavirus.
Topical.
Now, I'm snipping off the edge of this Right, coronavirus. Oh, coronavirus. Topical. Now.
Right, here we go.
I'm snipping off the edge of this.
Snip it.
In order to inject the huff air straight into the nozzle hole.
Go.
Snip.
It's gone in.
His eyes are rolling back like a stall's eyes.
It's got a huff on it.
Yeah.
I'm getting ham.
A very strong hammy huff. Interesting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a a huff on it Yeah I'm getting ham A very strong Hammy huff
Interesting
Yeah
It's a hammy smell
I'll be interested
To hear your feedback
Before I give you mine
And a little bit of the mustard
I'm getting
But I'm not thinking
That would not make me think
Black pudding
Well
It would not
I think ham
If I was
Take that as a cold huff
Yeah
You just wake me up
In the middle of the night
For example
I went huff this
And shoved in I'd be like
How terrified would you be
If I was like knees on your shoulder
You're sitting there at night and you hear your window just open
He's come to shove crisps in your face
And then you feel these two knees rest on your shoulders
The rustle of a crisp pack
Here come the night half Murder. Here come the night half.
The murderer.
Here come the night half.
He's a crispy dancer.
Excuse me, Mr. Officer.
He huffy like that.
Right. Go on, have a test.
They look kind of like a good quality thick cut
crisp. Similar to
a kettle.
And they've got a sort of colouring, an orangey colouring.
Again, doesn't scream.
Doesn't belie black pudding, does it?
Doesn't scream back pudding to me.
Now, you don't want to have maybe a black coloured crisp,
but I'm now going to have one, now that you've had your first taste.
And again, for clarification, I have had these already.
This is not a dry test for me.
What do you think? I think that's a very nice tasting crisp. This is not a dry test for me. What do you think?
I think that's a very nice tasting crisp.
It is.
Very, very nice tasting.
But?
It doesn't taste of black pudding.
It does not taste of black pudding.
It tastes more like ham or bacon.
Even chicken and mustard.
Sort of chicken, you know, a bit like a roast chicken flavour.
Well, for me, it's kind of like a fake bacon almost, but not quite.
Yeah.
It feels more like that. It's much closer to bacon. And it's a nice kick with the mustard. I love mustard. It's not of like a fake bacon almost, but not quite. It feels more like that.
It's much closer to bacon.
And it's a nice kick with the mustard.
I love mustard.
It's not too overwhelming, that mustard as well.
Because sometimes you get that sharp burn of it.
I like the burn.
I like the burn.
That's a tasty, tasty, crispy crisp.
But don't think of something else to sell it as.
Here's the thing. Here's the thing.
What is the common flavour?
It's ham and mustard, right?
You get ham and mustard butties.
You get ham and mustard flavoured crisps.
No, you also get ham and mustard flavoured...
What?
Branigans.
Oh, do you?
A cult.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I guess so.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're right.
Pub snack.
So this is just them going, we've got this flavour.
Is it ham and mustard or ham and piccalilli?
No, I think it's ham and mustard.
No, it's beef and mustard. No, it's beef and mustard.
No, it's ham and mustard, isn't it?
Beef and piccalilli.
I'll beef your piccalilli.
Really?
That's the best you had?
After giving me that eye contact as if you were to say, here comes the gold.
And it was like, oh no.
No, it wasn't gold.
Here comes the slurry.
The slurry tunnel.
Oh, the slurry.
Right in the eyes.
The slurry carriage.
Right.
So I would give that still a four out of five.
Yeah. Very strong, Chris. Lovely. I wonder if people are into, so I would give that still a four out of five. Yeah.
Very strong, Chris.
Lovely.
I wonder if people are into these.
I've never heard of fiddlers before.
No.
I mean, I've heard of fiddlers.
You know what I mean?
Hey.
Yeah.
We had a teacher called the fiddler.
Why?
Because he used to fiddle with himself.
Is this a joke now?
No, no, no.
It's true.
He used to fiddle with himself
and he got called a fiddler.
He didn't keep his job for too long.
Because he was fucking touching his penis during working hours.
That's how you mostly end up losing jobs.
Well, some jobs.
I'm sorry, Mr. Gannon, but you just can't do that on the shop floor.
I wasn't told I couldn't when I started working here at WH Smith's.
I'm loving this scenario, Paul.
Paul, you can't play the genitalia on the WH Smith's shop floor.
Did you?
I'm doing it by the A to Z section where the maps are.
No one's ever watching me.
Well, we can't have this because the CCTV camera is picking it up.
I think we need to curtail this.
So we're going to have to ask you to leave.
I will not.
Well, you don't have a say.
Paul, we need to curtail this.
Yeah, shall we move on?
Yeah, please.
Oh, I spunked in boggle.
I'll tell you.
I'll tell you when I got fired.
For feeling for myself.
Did you?
Yeah.
How has this never come up?
I was working in Robert Dias, yeah?
I just sort of
was by the cafetiers
and I was like, oh, nice action on that
cafetier. All plunging
up and down.
So I flopped it out into the
glass bit.
I flopped it out into the glass bit
and give it a stirring motion.
Flop-a-lop-a-lop.
A flop-flop-flop. A flop, flop, flop.
Some guy who worked there, my boss or whatever.
Yeah.
Comes over and says, you're out.
I said, it's our fair, cop governor.
And I walked out.
That wasn't true.
No, that was true.
Oh, you had me going.
Right, one more item on TP.
Is it?
Christ.
Hurry up, then.
Two more items.
No, one.
Stop.
Stop trying to curtail my joy.
I'm handing in the item.
This is interesting.
This is interesting, actually.
Doritos Taco Bajaratli.
Bajaratli.
Bajaratli.
I think they might be Turkish Doritos.
Maybe.
Maybe.
But I still don't understand what flavour that would even be.
We don't have green.
We don't have green.
It's a green packet.
A green packet.
And we do not have green.
As far as I'm concerned, what are the flavours of Doritos we got?
Chili Heat Wave.
Blue Ice.
Or whatever it's called.
Cool Blue.
Cool Original.
Yeah.
Because they can't do...
And Nacho Cheese, or whatever it's called.
We can't do Ranch, so they call it cool.
Yeah.
Whatever.
I don't like any Doritos, I'll be honest.
I don't like the flavourings of them.
It's overwhelming, almost, isn't it?
It's just thick and kludgy.
Yeah, it's kludgy.
I agree.
And sweet, sort of...
Yeah, I'd rather just have a normal, plain taco.
I quite like a cheese Dorito, I have to say.
Now, but these are tacos.
Have you got your phone on you?
Yeah.
Let's have a little look what the actual flavour is,
because it's good to be able to judge it against that.
It looks like it's pepper.
Yeah.
It's like there's some peppers there.
AMAT text port is translated into Spanish,
so it's Spanish.
I don't know what it's just.
It translates it as the exact same word.
So that really doesn't help.
No, it can't help.
I don't know.
Okay, well, we'll just have to decide.
I think it's pepper.
Yeah, I think it's hot pepper.
Yeah, I think it's hot pepper.
It's not chili heatwave because that's a red packet.
Yeah.
And there was also.
There's nacho on the back, which suggests cheese.
It's nacho, taco, and something else on the back.
That's how they.
No, those are the cheese ones.
We get those, and those are the chilli heatwave ones.
We don't get these green ones.
No, so let's try it then.
Huff injection mode.
Huff.
He's got the huff.
Down, down, down.
He's got the huff.
I'm loving these scissors.
Because I can get a real proper huff injection on the nostril.
Snip.
Huff.
And it's quite a textbook.
It's going right up the snoj.
Paprika and oregano.
Paprika and oregano?
And thyme.
It smells thymy.
Shall I have a smell?
Oh yeah, you're right.
It's more herby.
Very herby.
That's interesting.
Maybe, maybe today,
boys and girls,
Paul will find a flavour
of Doritos he finds alright. You like that smell? It's certainly more interesting. That's interesting. Maybe, maybe today, boys and girls, Paul will find a flavour of Doritos he finds alright.
You like that smell?
It's certainly more interesting.
It's pizza.
They smell like pizza flavour,
Chris, don't they?
Oh, that's it, exactly.
It's like oregano.
Bits of pizza flavour.
Bits of pizza flavour.
Bits of pizza,
bits of pizza.
That's what I think this is.
Bits of pizza.
Alright,
well let's try these then.
That's definitely
a new flavour to me.
Completely new flavour.
You're right,
it's a pizzeria kind of flavour. Yeah. Completely new flavour. You're right.
It's a pizzeria kind of flavour.
Yeah.
Which is strange, because I thought it would have been... What were the peppers on the front?
That would be hot.
Spicy or peppery.
It's not.
It's sweet.
It's got that same Doritos clodge.
Clodge, you think?
But the flavour's more palatable,
because I don't like how they do their cool flavour,
and I don't like their cheeses.
It's all this clodgy, isn't it?
Thick clodgy.
Thick clodgy.
And sometimes you find a big hardened ball
of just the kludge powder.
I don't want the kludge powder.
Anywhere near me gullet.
What's the final thing?
Oh, by the way, 3.5 out of 5.
You thought those were all right?
Yeah, actually.
They're quite tasty, yeah.
Tasty.
It's funny when you just have...
They decided the British market
would just won't do that flavour.
And the European market likes that and the Greek market likes that.
You know what I mean?
They obviously try and tailor it to cultural tastes.
But you'd think that would be a flavour that people here would enjoy.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Anyway, final thing.
Final thing.
And a bit of a clallet cleanser.
Callet cleanser.
It is.
Some plain crisps.
Simple, plain old, plain old simple crisps.
These are San Carlo.
I believe.
Santana.
San Carlo.
It's an Italian crisp flavour,
but they're gone for the very much for the heritage history
with the design of these crisps,
because these are 1936.
They're called 1936 crisps.
And Tissa Riccetta potato chips.
So they're saying we did it first, everyone, in 1936.
Shall I try scanning that, then?
Yeah.
Go on.
It will have a little blurb at the bottom.
See if you can read that out.
Ancient potato recipe.
Ancient.
That's what it says.
Ancient recipe potato.
Actually, it's the official translation.
I don't think 1936 is considered ancient.
In the heart of Milan, the Rotissina San Carlo opens,
and it immediately happened.
The rotisserie is a real reference for gourmet of the time.
It's particularly renowned for its thin, curled,
and very crunched chips.
The wisdom and passion with which these chips were prepared
has been passed down from generation to generation.
You need wisdom and passion to make a good crisp.
Net worth 1.7 ounces.
Net worth.
Oh, there's a little man on the back, a little potato man.
Is there a potato man on the back?
There's a little potato man on the hat wearing a hat.
I like the potato man.
And there's little black and white photos.
They've really gone for the sort of, this is a traditional heritage crisp.
But crisps were in Britain before 936, weren't they?
Oh, I think we've done the research on this already.
Are you sick of crisps?
Yeah.
Right, come on.
Huff.
Now, we're expecting not a huff here, really, are we?
I have to level with you and the listeners, Paul.
I have tasted a packet of these.
Fine.
Well, exactly.
So I'm going to snip the huff hole for you, and you get your nostril ready for the listeners, Paul. I have tasted a packet of these. Fine. Well. So you, I'm going to snip the half hole for you
and you get your nostril ready
for the half injection.
I am not ready for this.
Here we go.
Give it a squeeze up your nose.
Yeah, it smells exactly
like I thought it was going to smell.
Like a ready salted?
Like dry potato,
not even ready salted.
You remember the old
salt and shake bags?
They're like those.
Of which they are uncannily similar
in its design in terms of white
and that navy blue
red and blue
white and blue
yeah
because that's what
we found out
didn't we
doing the research
ready salted
the reason why
it's called ready salted
is because
plain crisps
were like this
originally
and used to come
with a little salt pack
in
so you had to shake it out
but then when they
brought out
already salted crisps
that you didn't have
to add the sachet to
so it's like
we've done it for you
yeah that's why
it's already salted mate
ready salted that's why it's called that.
Ah, I did not know that. Yeah, I found that out on
Twitter it turned out when we did it. These are a classic,
what I'd call a continental style potato chip.
There's something different about that. There is a salt
to it. Oh, it's salty, yeah.
They're already salted. Delicate.
They're good, aren't they? But they're not
like kettle style. They're like a
little bit. They're a little in between a kettle
and a sort of walkers, aren't they?
Well, they're very tasty.
They're good.
I'll give that a four.
I have to a nice simple snack that.
Can you taste the wisdom and passion?
I can.
Yeah.
All the way down.
I'll give it a four.
What a thrilling, thrilling segment of Cheap Show that was.
Shall we move on to the next exciting moment?
I'm looking forward to the...
Well, I'm looking forward to it too.
Paul, we need to sort it out.
Sort it out. It's fine. You're going to be fine,
yeah? It's going to be fine.
I've got an armbar in your mouth.
I've got an armbar in your mouth.
I've got an armbar in your mouth.
Oh, an armbar in your mouth.
I've got an armbar in your mouth.
Ooh, armbar in your mouth. I've got an armb knob in your mouth. I've got a knob out in your mouth. Ooh, up in your bum.
I've got a knob out.
Ooh, up in your bum.
Whoa!
I've got a knob out in your mouth.
Ooh, up in your bum.
It's getting there.
Knob out in your mouth.
Knob out in your bum.
God almighty.
Go on, end it.
Knob out.
Please stop it. Price of shite for you
It's time for the price of shite
Ladies and gentlemen
It's the fucking
Price of shite
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.
Oh, it's the fucking price of shite.
That's right.
Yes, so I have been to the shop twice to get the price of shite.
Do you want to explain the rules of the price of shite to everybody?
The price of shite is a game where I, or Eli, I've already fucked it.
I've already fucked it.
It's a game where we guess the price of items
we bought in charity shops or what notary.
You know, it's that kind of game. Now, here are the
rules as they stand. To guess the price,
if you get it spot on, the exact
price, you get two points, or, as we like
to call them, between, between, between,
between. However, if you're out
by 25p either way of the actual price, then that's only one between.
Between.
And that's the base rules.
Other betwings are added as and when, depending on the round and the items in question.
Do you want me to detail what other extra betwings are available to you today, Paul?
Eli, I'd love...
I've knocked over the all-purpose sauce.
Don't worry, it'll stand up itself.
Yes.
Paul, available to you today...
What are the extra betwings on the table?
There are two items which are the same price.
Give me that, give me that, give me that, give me that,
give me that betwing, give me that, give me that, give me that.
If you get them, if you guess that they are the same price,
even if you get that price wrong, you get an extra betwing.
Wait, what?
Two of these items are the exact same price.
Right.
Yeah.
How many items are there at all?
Let me see.
I've got the paper here.
He's got the paperwork.
I've pre-prepared this.
He's prepared it.
By prepared, he means he's just written down.
Just like I, you know.
Things.
I hurt myself by not tasting those crisps before just now.
They were sitting there.
I'm lying in bed.
Nothing's going on. Hey, fucking hell. Nothing's going on on the crisps looking at me oh they're going oh i'm a packet
of black pudding flavor and mustard i love mustard me you know i love mustard and i'm like oh
oh i would love to have those crisps right now but i won't no is your connection of miniature
things does one of them include a fucking tiny violin? Because I'd like to play that about now
over your rotten sob story.
There are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven items.
Seven and two of them at the same price.
Yes, and you get an extra per twing.
If I can spot that.
And even if you get the price wrong,
if you know that they're the same price.
That's an easy per twing for you.
Twins get a per twing.
That's an easy per twing. All right get a between. That's an easy between.
That's almost like a bonus free between
just to cheer you up.
You get that between, you'll know that.
Also, there is the three between super monster bounty.
Right.
It's classic rule of Price is Right
if you get them in the right order.
Oh, price.
Far cheapest, two most expensive in a row.
If you get that right,
it has to be exactly right. And there are eight
items, as I said. So the prices can all be wrong, but if they're in the
right order, then I get three Petwings for that.
Petwing? Petwing? Petwing.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, this is a potential
Petwing party today. So, as is our want,
as is our custom, as is our
need, our whim, our whim,
our need, our queef, our
frosting, frottage and frimm our need, our queef. Our thrusting frottage and frimitude.
Our remote queef.
As is our remote queef.
You don't know what a queef is.
I fucking know what a queef is, mate.
Yeah.
Don't do that.
You rotted.
I can feel a character coming off.
No, please. Queef off her. No, please. Queef off her. No. Queef off her. I can feel a character coming off No please
Queef Huffer
No please
Queef Huffer
No
Queef Huffer
He could be a superhero
No
Queef Huffer
There is no job in the world
He's got the theme tune already Paul
No it sounds like all your fucking theme tunes
That's because they come from an extended universe
Queef Huffer
No
Queef Huffer is not
Queef Huffer
I'm saying it now
Queef Huffer is not I'm saying it now.
Queef Huffer is not No.
You can't stop it.
You can't stem this
flow.
Please let me stem it.
No.
You cannot.
Please let me put the
cork in the metres of
this idea.
You cannot quench
the Queef Huffer.
Right.
Here comes the
Queef Huffer.
It's officially
canon now.
Yeah it is canon.
Once it's immortalised.
Are you ready to play the Price of Shite today, Paul?
I'll just let you know how many potential betwings altogether were you.
I know it's not going to happen.
You're big on betwings right now, aren't you?
I'll just let you know how many betwings you could have the most unassailable betwing record.
If you've got every single possible betwing.
Right, okay.
I'll tell you what you'd get for this.
Yeah. You'd get. If you'd like to single possible between. Right, okay. I'll tell you what you'd get for this. Yeah.
You'd get.
If you'd like to count them as I say them.
Yeah.
Between, between.
Yeah.
Between, between.
Four.
Between, between.
Six.
Between, between.
Eight.
Extra between.
Nine.
Because those two are the same price, those ones.
Okay.
Between, between.
I've already lost count.
Fuck's sake.
Eleven.
Eleven.
Between, between.
Four. Thirteen. And super bonus. Sixteen. Between, between, between. Sixteen. I've already lost count fuck's sake 11 between between 13
and super bonus
16
between between between
16 betwings on the table
don't tell me
there's not a lot of betwings on the table
there's just 10
and then one extra
and then 6
no look
there's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
7
items
7 items
that's 14 betw's 14 per twings.
Plus the extra, 15, plus three,
it's 18 per twings.
Oh, mate.
Mate, you could have more per twings
than I've had in the last three years
if you got them all right.
I could just get one right and do that as well,
to be honest.
Just concentrate, though, yes.
There's some serious per twinging
that would be going on.
Are you ready for your first item?
Without any further ado, please reveal your first item.
Now, Paul, you'll notice a lot of these have a sort of theme to them
because I've got them in a tranche of items in one charity shop.
And we'll go for this one first.
Someone, by the way, sent me a link on Twitter today
about how someone did studies into poultices.
Yeah, I saw that.
Very interesting.
We'll be following that up at a later date.
I can follow a poultice up.
Do you know how I usually
follow it up?
With a thwap?
Yes.
Good as you're getting this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's called conditioning.
Now, I'm going to hand you
the first item, Paul.
It's a little handheld
flat puzzle.
So I believe
this puzzle
is like
a maze in the left hand,
a maze in the right hand, and in the centre, no maze,
but you have to get the ball, this tiny little ball bearing.
There's a little ball bearing in it.
It's a ball bearing puzzle.
Through like a kind of field of green rings that you have to kind of shake.
It's just annoying, isn't it?
The gameplay isn't great on that, is it?
It's not really, no.
It's a flat sort of plastic tray.
Get off.
I want to try and get at least into the maze.
Reminiscent of a sort of CD case, maybe.
Crystal case.
Oh, I'm in the maze bit.
I'm in the maze bit.
And I have done it.
There you go.
You've done it?
That took me 10 seconds to get from the top left to the bottom right.
Really?
You got from there to there?
Yeah.
Time me.
It didn't take 10 seconds.
All right, 15.
Time me.
You ready?
Go.
One, two.
This is great podcasting.
Three.
He's in the thing.
Four, five. He's in the thing. Four, five.
He's in the ring.
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
Oh, this is cool.
Eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen.
There we go.
So about 15 seconds each.
We both did it in.
Great.
What's on the back?
We've completed it, Paul.
We both completed it.
It's a time killer more than anything else.
What does it say on the back?
It's called... I like the way on the
back as well it's got an instruction sheet.
The ultimate challenge.
How fast can you move the ball from
the bottom corner square through the central
ring zone into the upper
circle? Or vice versa.
About 15 seconds.
So for however much you paid
you get about 15 seconds of fun.
Yeah, so Hello love
It was a fair price
Hello love
I like the diagram
They've got on the back
The artwork is quite nice
For a couple of pence
You could have 15 seconds of fun
Would you like that madam?
That's not the ultimate challenge
It's something you can put in your hand
It's just the ultimate challenge
Excuse me love
It's something you can put in your hand
And have 15 seconds of fun with
Would you like that love?
Come on love
Would you like that?
Something you can put in your hand
And play for around 15
Now how are you
With manipulating balls Because I've got something you can put your hand
you can manipulate the balls yeah maybe dodge a few rings but when I suck you
off no madam it's a handheld toy for kids you're a disgusting cow so there's
a see Paul yeah the scenes today. You know what?
One of them might hit gold.
You've got to keep rolling the dice, mate, haven't you?
As we said before.
They can't all be winners.
Yeah, it's a numbers game, isn't it?
That's your first item.
It's a little puzzle toy.
Can I ask you a question?
I think more than as a toy, I quite like the aesthetic of it.
Yeah, because the navy blue.
Neon green almost.
It's not navy blue.
It's an azure blue.
A baby blue. It's a dark baby blue, neon green almost. It's not navy blue. It's an azure blue. A baby blue.
It's like an electric blue almost.
Yeah, the green neon.
And the green sort of neon.
It's pleasing to look at, and it will look very nice up there on my shelf of all my other
Now, can I ask a question?
Are these things all bought in the same place?
I'll let you know, yes.
Right, so.
You'll see there's a distinct theme along plastic puzzle.
All right, okay.
Today.
So that's the first one.
Do you remember that particular toy from?
No, not really.
I don't think that could have been a big hit.
I think if you go to most.
As a toy, it's shit.
As a puzzle, it doesn't work.
Back in the day, if you went to like your pound stretcher or your home and bargain stores
or whatever, you'd see by the till, there was like a big box of those things.
You know, there's always going to be those mini mazes and handheld toys and busy toys.
Yeah.
So were they by the chill?
Yeah, they were always
like a quid,
maybe two quid tops.
They were pocket money toys,
you know?
Yeah.
Wait, why are you
hiding that back in the bag?
Here we go.
Let me just take the price off.
All right, item number two
is an interesting thing.
Now, ah,
ooh, I see what it's done there.
So, it's a little box.
On the top it says,
Star Puzzler.
On the right,
on the outside, the packaging
would make you believe you have bought
a Rubik's Cube, but with a bit more
inspection, you'd find that to be false.
For it is a cube,
but the difference is it's more triangular,
isn't it? It's like... It's not a cube.
It is a cube. That's not a cube.
It's kind of a cube. Until I open it, I don't know.
Open it. I need a
knife. No, no, it is open. It's already open. Oh, you opened it from the bottom. It's not a... Until I open it, I don't know. Open it. I need a knife. No, no, it is open.
It's already open.
Oh, you opened it from the bottom.
It's not mint on card.
Oh, with the top.
Oh, you're right.
It's not a cube.
It is a...
Dodecahedron.
Dodecahedron Rubik's Cube knockoff.
But it's got the same colour scheme,
black and then a yellow, red, green, blue side.
It's a total knockoff.
It's trying to say...
But it isn't a Rubik's item, is it?
It's not a Rubik's item.
That's what I'm saying.
From the colour palette of the box and the actual toy, it fools you into thinking it's a Rubik's item, is it? It's not a Rubik's item. That's what I'm saying. From the colour palette of the box and the actual toy,
it fools you into thinking it's a Rubik's item.
It's an octagon, sorry.
It's an octagonal octagon.
It's an eight-sided thing.
If you imagine two pyramids stuck together at the bottom.
Two square-based pyramids stuck together at the bottom.
Yeah.
That's the shape.
It seems very convoluted.
Can I have a little twiddle? It was huge,
the Rubik's Cube, wasn't it? Yeah, it is
the biggest toy of the 80s, isn't it? Really?
Something like that. Now... God, that's
going to be a bugger to... To work
out. It was different maths, isn't it? Because it's
all triangles rather than the
squares of the Rubik's Cube. Yeah, it is a different
type of logic, because you're working on three
sides. You're working on base three instead. Well, apart from the
ends, when you've got four sides
on the tips
it's interesting
it is interesting
could you solve
a classic Rubik's Cube
no
I never learned
I never had the patience
for them
I like aesthetically
the look of a Rubik's Cube
but the toy itself
I don't think I ever
put any time into playing
did you
never
did you know anyone
who was ever great at them
I knew people
who could do them
yeah
but I never bothered because it was just they're hard but have you seen those people on like ever. Did you know anyone who was ever great at them? I knew people who could do them, yeah. Yeah?
But I never bothered
because it was just,
they're hard.
But have you seen
those people on like,
who can juggle
and do it at the same time?
Juggle and do it at the same time.
That kid who juggled three
and it took him what,
ten, five minutes
or whatever to do it?
What on earth is going on?
Rubik's Cubes do feature
in Magic a lot
because they have that
number game thing.
Yeah, so there's a logic,
you can apply a logical
sort of process.
Well, the great thing about Rubik's Cubes is that
when you tell an audience something like that, like
the permutations of Rubik's Cube is 8 million
blah, blah, blah, blah. People go,
oh, well then the possibilities of him knowing it,
you know, it's a
misdirection. It's a misdirection.
When the actual trick is, I'm not saying it's simple,
but obviously the solution
to the trick is not the maths
involved in a rubik's cube you know okay interesting um so that is one of the many
variations i like that it's good in it yeah it's in good condition it's obviously never been played
with because the boxes i wouldn't say mint on card but there's the box it comes with its box
it came with his box which is nice isn't it and it? You don't often see them with their box, do you?
The construction of it, though, is also all right by the looks of it. Pretty good, yeah.
It doesn't feel cheap.
Made in China.
Taiwan.
Did you ever buy a cheap Rubik's Cube and you just felt the looseness of the cubes?
You felt how cheap it was.
This seems like quite a well-made item, doesn't it?
Yeah, surprisingly.
Nice box as well with a picture of it on each side and a star puzzler.
So it's made of a star shape.
Here comes the star puzzler. Murderer.
Yeah, that's the item, Paul.
What were the other ones, variations?
They had ones that were sort of like a
D20 side one, didn't they?
With lots of faceted sides.
And they had the snake, which was
popular. But if you look on toys,
if you look on a toy
shop website, Amazon or Smiths or
whatever, there are
modern Rubik's Cubes, which are all
almost isometric or something.
It's a cube, but one part's
a triangle, one part's an oblong, one part's a
square. So there's all these... People have done
permutations of the Rubik's Cube. All sorts of permutations.
I used to have this Dalek-shaped tube.
Oh, yeah, I remember that.
And it had coloured balls in it. And you had to that was twisted but that was a cheap knockoff that was
a knock you only ever saw that in like bargain stores or pound stretchers okay so that's your
second item you got any thoughts about the price of the first two items i don't i do think that
the plastic one was quite cheap okay but the problem with charity shops like i think these
days is because of inflation because of prices and how we pay for things anyway these days it's like you could argue
that that was quite cheap in its day but you probably pay the same price for it now because
we always like oh that's a quid that's 50p you know what i mean we kind of round it up and round
down so those kind of things almost kind of keep the same value without having that same value yeah
do you know what i've got some of that sauce from that fake noodle in my beard,
and it's hardened.
Can you see it?
Yeah.
That's pre-cum John's.
Pre-cum John's work.
He's going to have to come round and put a bit of a,
whatever his version of cum isopropic alcohol is.
He's got some bollock IPA to dribble on your beard.
Right.
So.
Like trying to get chewing gum out of your ear.
Very much sticking with the theme, Paul.
I like this theme so far, because I like a good puddle.
This, now, could be described as very nearly...
Do you want to talk into the microphone?
Because it's a fucking podcast.
This could be described as very nearly...
Near mint.
Near mint on card.
There's card.
You don't understand the phrase mint on card, do you?
I'm trying to
repurpose it, Paul,
and I'm trying to
widen the meaning.
It's not yours to
repurpose.
It is.
It's not.
Yes, it is.
It belongs to me.
I'm handing it to
you, Paul.
Oh, it's in very
good condition.
Yeah.
And this holds
quite a few fond
memories for myself.
This is a Rubik's
item, but it's not
Rubik's Cube.
It is the Rubik's Clock, and I fucking love Rubik's Cube. It is the Rubik's Clock.
And I fucking love the Rubik's Clock.
I had one as a kid.
And I solved it.
Did you?
I solved it myself.
So that's why it held a special place in my heart.
I worked on it for like two weeks.
I was on holiday.
Couldn't do it, couldn't do it.
Had a breakthrough and did it.
Well, this is the thing, isn't it?
It's like Rubik's was famous for inventing that toy, the cube.
And then it was like, what else have you got?
And he was like, Rubik's rings.
You know, that whole.
The magic.
Rubik's magic.
Was that what it's called?
The magic.
I love that thing.
That was a big craze in my school.
The Rubik's magic.
Yeah.
And literally, it's folding it.
Because it's like a kind of flat piece of plastic you would fold and make new images with.
And interlink the rings.
But it has strings. Yeah. Holding these flat plates together. Like a kind of Jacob's Ladder- a kind of flat piece of platter you would fold and make new images with and interlink the rings. But it has strings holding these flat plates together.
Like a kind of Jacob's Ladder-y kind of thing.
There's that very similar toy, old school toy, where the thing that falls down.
Jacob's Ladder?
Is that called a Jacob's Ladder? Yeah.
So it was based on Jacob's Ladder technology, the magic.
And stop rolling your eyes.
But the thing that was great about the magic, it was almost like a toy.
Like, who could do it.
Who could do it the quickest?
We'd have, like, races.
And there was, like, shortcut things you could do, like, which were quite dodgy that could sometimes break it.
Do you know what I mean?
Like this big twist move where you twist, like, several wires at once.
And you just...
Yeah, and it was a nice...
It was satisfying.
He was well into it.
And he did a magic, and he also did a larger version, like a magic large, which had more...
There was a Rubik's board game
as well where it's kind of like Mastermind.
Can I just read this out before I hand it back?
So I've seen that Rubik's board game. So just explain
to them that it's mint on cards.
It is in very good condition. It's in a blue box
with a gatefold flap to the front and the
item in the middle. I want to read out on the
inside flap the blurb. It says
first Rubik's Cube
then Rubik's Magic which has a TM to it funnily enough. The first one didn't. The blurb. It says, first, Rubik's Cube. Then, Rubik's Magic, which has a TM to it, funnily enough.
The first one didn't.
I wonder why.
Then, the real brain buster, Rubik's Clock.
Introducing Rubik's Clock.
Professor Rubik has done it again.
His clock puzzle is intriguing and compelling.
The aim is to set all the clock's hands to 12.
It sounds simple, but you'll soon discover that to solve both sides at once
is one of Professor Rubik's greatest challenges.
How does the Rubik's clock work?
The clock puzzle has four wheels and four buttons.
By pressing a button and turning a wheel, the clocks move.
So it's a big round dial with nine clocks on the front and back.
And on each corner, there's four corners with two dials on.
If you press a different button,
different clocks move.
Unravel the mystery
of the wheels and buttons.
Find the correct solution
and set all clocks to 12.
That is a lovely thing
in lovely condition.
It really is, isn't it?
The thing is with that,
it's a bit disingenuous
what he says about it.
It's his most challenging
because it's almost like a gimmick.
Once you know how to solve it,
you can really just solve it. I guess that's true. It's a trick. Because Rubik's Cube has a you know how to solve it, you can really just solve it.
I guess that's true.
Rubik's Cube, though.
It's a trick.
Because Rubik's Cube has a logic to it to solve it.
It has a formula.
And this has a formula as well.
Once you find...
You know what I mean?
The challenge is over once you've discovered how to...
You know what I mean?
And someone could just show you.
It's quite straightforward.
But it's quite ingenious, isn't it, really?
It's a little...
The thing is, I had a Rubik's Clock,
and I never... I completed one side.
But what I liked most about it was the kind of tactile motion of the dial.
That's what I mean about Rubik's game, Rubik's puzzles.
They were more than just puzzles.
They had a toy, a tactility, a play aspect.
And especially the magic, like I say, with doing it, we could just play with it.
Do you know what I mean?
It was like a fidget toy. Fidget, you know, with doing it, we could just play with it. Do you know what I mean? It wasn't like...
It was like a fidget toy.
Fidget toy.
Yeah, absolutely.
It was.
I guess a Rubik's Cube, you could just say.
Yes.
And I just think this clock doesn't have that aspect to it.
And I think that's why it's less successful.
That's true.
Do you know what I mean?
It's just once it's done, it's done.
I guess it's because both the Rubik's Cube and that are kind of idle toys you can almost do without thinking or not looking and just fiddle with it.
But this.
Whereas that, it doesn't have the same.
It just doesn't have that same quality.
It's quite hard to describe.
Do you have your box cutter on you?
I don't, actually.
How am I going to get into this without breaking it?
Scissors, my friend.
Okay.
Use the scissors to slice and dice.
Okay.
He's opening up the flap.
So, do we think the original owner even bothered to solve this?
No, it's got a thing in the back.
Oh, it's got a bit of an insert.
It's got a bit of blurb on the inside.
It's got an insert.
That's exciting.
This is mint on card, mate.
It's not mint on card.
It's just in very good condition.
Insert included.
What's it say?
Oh, it's like a cartoon strip.
It's the original thing.
Stop.
Congratulations for attempting Professor Rubik's latest mind bender.
Now read this.
There's something mucky in here.
Looks like bird shit.
Well, don't touch it.
I'm trying to get the clock out.
So it's a little professor character.
You know, white hair, beard, little cartoon.
One.
The challenge is to get all the hands to point to 12 at the same time.
You move the hands by turning the wheels.
Pushing a button makes different hands turn, and
every time you move hands on this side,
different hands move on the other side.
It takes time to beat the Rubik's
Cube, but you'll have the time of your life solving
it. Good luck!
It says on the outside that, but it's
nice to have it. It's a nice little insert.
It is a nice little insert. It is a nice
looking thing, actually. 1988.
88, yeah. This came a long while after the Cube, then,
because the Cube was like 81.
And you said the Cube doesn't have a trademark,
so there was probably some problem
with trademarking it at the time.
Maybe.
And that's why you had so many knockoffs
and different people able to manufacture it.
No one's ever been able to manufacture this
apart from Rubik's.
Do you see what I mean?
Probably because he made money off,
well, I mean, he probably made money off
the Rubik's Cube, to be fair, as well.
Maybe he sold the idea,
which means it's not his, but then he went into
his own business or brand. The magic is his, definitely,
and this is his. It's nice, though. It's like the feel of it.
Can I touch it?
Oh, I remember this.
Oh, I love it.
It's got a
good quality build to it as well, doesn't it?
Yeah. Oh, I see,
and that moves that. It feels a bit
rougher than I remember it but also I remember
it being bigger
when I was a kid
well because your hands
were smaller
yeah
I remember my dick
being bigger
do you want to elaborate
yeah
a long time ago
you thought your dick
was bigger
yes
thank you
well I'm putting that back
why don't you think
it's that big now
is it just because
you've grown up around it
yeah
so you've pushed it back in
it's sucked back in
yeah
you've kind of compressed it in.
I've compressed my dick back in.
Right.
I love the idea that you've grown around your dick.
Well, that's what happens.
The dick's the same size, but you've grown around it like moss.
If you put on weight, come on.
Like, in reality, if you put on weight.
You have put on a lot.
Blue skies are going to clear up.
Right.
I'm putting this clock back.
I'm putting the clock back.
Put the clock back.
That's a lovely item.
I think that's a real
Rubik's item and the
start is not, but very
much in the vein of
Rubik's.
What a lovely find.
Yeah.
We just need you to
tell us the price and
everyone's happy.
That was probably a
couple of quid.
Why can't I fit this
back in here?
I think you've just
got to be brave and
push it in.
Just put it to one
side.
I can't get this clock.
This is the real puzzle. Getting the fucking clock back into this puzzle is you. Not trying to be brave and push it in. Just put it to one side. I can't get this clock. This is the real puzzle.
Getting the fucking clock back into the packaging.
The puzzle is you.
Not trying to repackage the clock.
I can't.
It doesn't fit.
I'll do it.
It's a puzzle.
We're in a puzzle.
Well done.
Thank you.
Two seconds.
Well, you're the master.
You just have to force it back in.
If it pops out, you've just got to use your thumb and force it back in.
Yeah, yeah.
Where is she?
Can she hear any of this?
No.
She's not in the same room.
She's watching EastEnders Pedestal.
Okay.
Now, that's nice with the insert.
It is, it is, it is.
It doesn't really tell you anything new that isn't on the box already,
but it's cute.
It's a nice little human touch.
Well, it means it's worth more, right?
Well, I guess it's more towards mint on cardiness.
Right, so that's three items.
We've got four more to go.
Fucking hell.
I'm loving this Paul
you could have
a between bounty
now
are you ready
for your next item Paul
yes handy
I'm just going to
take the price off
so there's no
dilly dallying
no shilly shallying
it is a
collectible car
eraser
by Dom's
sports
collectible car
eraser
and inside
a little red box
is a little red
I mean it looks like a now that is mint on card I'll tell you that now I bought that new Sports collectible car eraser. And inside a little red box is a little red.
I mean, it looks like a... No, that is Minson card.
I'll tell you that now.
I bought that new.
That is new.
It's nice.
It's got a lovely little red car and little red car.
Great.
Don't know.
Next.
Cool.
Happy with that.
Stop trying to hurry along now that you know that we just...
What else is there to say about it?
Get it out.
Maybe give it a huff.
Smell my car eraser.
Is that what she said? No. She said all sorts of stuff. She didn't say nothing. She didn't mean it a half. Smell my car eraser. Is that what she said?
No.
She said all sorts of stuff.
She didn't say nothing.
She didn't mean it, though.
No.
She broke my heart.
God.
Look at that.
It's not...
It's got a bit of heft to it.
It's a proper little rubber.
What do you think of the design of the car?
I don't know.
Keep reaching for it.
I'm meant to look at it and evaluate it when you're hawking over me with your talons.
Your greasy, meaty, knuckly talons.
Does it separate?
No.
Yeah, it does.
I reckon I could separate it.
Oh, go on then.
Oh, look at that.
It's a very thin red cover.
I don't want to take it.
Look, that comes off.
Yeah, it's two pieces.
There's a red roof.
A black bottom.
A black bottom.
Yeah, with the wheels.
Does the wheels move?
I didn't think so.
No, the wheels don't move.
All right, fair enough.
It's a rubber, isn't it?
It's an eraser.
Just for reference, Paul, I also have another car eraser,
but of a much higher quality.
I'll just show you that right now.
Here you go, Paul.
Oh, it's a Hot Wheels and it's a rubber car.
That's on the card.
Hard Shell Eraser.
Hard Shell Eraser.
What does that mean?
Part of this isn't an eraser.
It's just a hard shell.
No, it just means, yeah, it's probably the eraser.
That's a much better build, obviously, on the Hot Wheels.
That's very cute of Hot Wheels to do.
So I've got that.
Can you still buy Matchbox cars?
I think you can, yeah.
Because Matchbox were like the car toy.
Yeah, they were big.
And then Hot Wheels seemed to have taken over, didn't they?
Just rolled in one day.
Right, so I'm putting that down.
That is your item there.
What do you think's better?
Hot Wheels cars or Micro Machines? Hot Wheels. Micro Machines. I prefer Hot Wheels. I'm putting that down. That is your item there. What do you think is better? Hot wheels cars or micro machines?
Hot wheels.
Micro machines.
I prefer hot wheels.
I prefer micro machines.
Well, you can shut up about it.
You know what?
I used to have a Back to the Future 2 set of back micro machines.
Little DeLorean and a little floating police car and a taxi cab.
Gone.
History.
Removed it from my life.
Here you go.
Next item.
There's a bit of context for the last item.
Oh, what's this?
Dom's Neo... Dom's is a company that obviously the last item. Oh, what's this? Dom's Neo Eraser.
Dom's is a company that obviously make erasers.
Make rubbers, yeah.
And in India, I believe.
They're an Indian cheap eraser company.
Oh, that's another heavy rubber.
But it's nothing.
I mean, it's fine.
It's a nice octagon.
Oh, is it octagonal?
It's six-sided.
No, that's sexagonal.
No, it's octagonal.
Oct is eight.
Oh, it is.
Sept.
Septagon.
Yeah.
No, that's five. Octagon. Test Oh, it is. Sept. Septagon. Yeah. No, that's five.
Octagon.
Testagon.
Hotagon.
Mondagon.
Tuesdaygon.
Wednesdaygon.
Thursdaygon.
Octagon.
Pentagon.
Pentagon is five.
Septagon.
Septagon.
Decepticon.
Transformers.
I win.
It's a six-sided rubber.
Rubber.
And it says neon.
But the colour isn't very neon is it
No it's purple
It's like a nice rich
Royal purple
I think they're going
For neon colours
But I don't think they had the means
To actually make it proper neon
Nice
How many items is that now
One two three four five
Two more to go
Alright here is
Spin it up boy
Here's another item
This is the part of the podcast
Where when I'm editing it
I go fucking hell
How much more of this is to go?
Look, Paul.
It's broken.
This one's broken, so be careful with it.
All right, I'll do my best.
Was it bought broken or has it been broken since?
You know what?
I took it off the shelf.
It fell on the ground near the till and broke.
And I was like, oh, man.
I probably would have put it back.
Oh, I see.
So, yeah.
All right.
Okay, fair enough.
So, I'm handing it to you.
There it is.
Oh, I literally used to have this.
You used to have it?
I used to have this very same one.
Back in the day, there was like, I can't remember what it was, like bargain house or bargain
shop.
And it was a little shop.
And it had like, you'd go in, it'd sell like, you know, kitchen stuff and gardening stuff.
But usually towards the back, there was like a row of baskets.
And one basket was all the kind of Star Wars toys that had been out for a couple of years
so they were selling
them for a quid a pop.
Yeah.
And basically,
I got all the
Star Wars toys
and all those action figures
years later
when they turned up
in bargain shops.
But there's always
a bin of these,
like a basket full of
like these cheap
square,
you know,
Perspex toys
with a puzzle in.
And like,
Perspex cube
with a puzzle in. Sopex cube with a puzzle in.
So it's just a jiggle puzzle.
It's a jiggle puzzle.
Did you ever complete it?
No, never.
This is three buckets of different sizes and three marbles of different sizes.
Well, they're more like ball bearings.
Ball bearings, yeah.
And you've got to get the right size ball bearing in the right size bucket.
And it is almost impossible without a certain amount of good luck.
Yeah.
So you just shake it and see if you can do it.
And all it does is it means you play for a bit until your mum or your dad say,
please put that fucking noisy shit down.
Yeah, yeah.
Because all it is is this.
Oh!
Terrible.
Okay, that's your item, Paul.
Oh, I did it.
Did you?
No, I didn't.
That would have been really funny, though, if I'd just gone like this. And then, yeah. Okay, that's your ice and ball. Oh, I did it. Did you? No, I didn't. That would have been really funny, though,
if I'd just gone like this.
And then, yeah.
Oh, almost.
Actually, that was nearly almost.
Yeah.
Ah, fucked it.
So what have you got to get?
Get the big ball bearing in the big bucket,
the medium bearing in the medium bucket,
and the small bearing in the...
Oh, you're almost there, mate.
Yeah, I know.
It's just funny how I just randomly nearly got it all in.
Oh, I've got the two.
I've got two buckets completed there.
I just had to flip that over there. In there, around there Yeah, I know. Just funny how I just randomly nearly got it all in. I've got two buckets completed there. I just had to flip
that over there.
In there, down there.
You fucked it.
Right, that's the item.
Shame it's a little bit
broke, but okay.
And here is another item.
Oh, now I didn't
have this one.
That's a better one,
isn't it?
It's another Perspex
cube of the same size
as the last.
There's another puzzle.
What's the point of this?
Well, it's got a
tilting platform.
It's got a yellow tilting platform with various holes in it
and a bunch of ball bearings.
And I think what you have to do is get all the ball bearings
into all of the holes, if you see what I mean.
As if teeter-totters on them.
You've got to get four along there, as you've got that already.
Then you get three along there, four along there, three along there,
and then it's hard.
Oh, fuck that.
Again, it's almost
impossible. Hang on.
I'm almost there, mate.
Is he?
You've just got to get them all on a...
Oh, he's not doing too badly.
Fuck! There you go, and now he's lost his temper.
Let's have a little go.
I've got to move it over here, and I move it
over here, and I move it over here, and that
is done, and I move it up and down.
It's not very...
Now.
Put the little ball bearings in the...
I quite like the aesthetic of that one.
It's very 80s.
It's got kind of a sort of 80s retro futurist sort of look, doesn't it?
Well, these are very 80s toys.
I mean, I saw these in the late 80s, early 90s.
Like, for instance, there's a big basket full of fucking muscle men.
Remember muscle men?
Yeah.
Muscle men I remember buying.
Got a bunch of pill kids figures there.
I bought Madballs all
the time from there. I even had the Madballs figures.
There's some shop near where I grew up
Morton Cross. Had like this little bargain shop
on the high street. And you just used to
go in and it was all full of shit. But the toy section
always had, you know, brands that
had tried and failed.
And so I had these Madball characters.
So they're like, they're a little rubber
madball head,
but they fitted on bodies.
So they were actually
little action figures.
But those are the ones
you could squeeze
and the eyes go pop out.
No, you push a little
button on the back
and the head pops off.
Oh.
Yeah.
Next.
Oh, that's it?
Oh, okay.
That is the price
of Shite's selection.
Now, can I ask,
what is the overall
price bracket?
I'll give you a window.
I'll give you something,
but it won't be the exact
price of all the items
added together, okay? Yes. Now, let's just have a little. I'll give you something, but it won't be the exact price of all the items added together, okay?
Yes.
Now, let's just have a little recap.
First item you had was the green hoop flat ball bearing puzzle.
Yeah.
Then you had the Rubik's knockoff star puzzler.
Just give me it, because I keep making banging noises when we're recording.
Everyone likes that.
I don't when I edit, and I have to take most of them out.
People like the rustle and scrummage. No, out. People like the rustle and scrummage.
No, they don't like the rustle and scrummage.
They don't.
They want the red hot wit and incisive comedy opinions of Mr. Silverman and Mr. Gannon on a weekly basis.
God, you really are in a bad mood today, aren't you?
I'm not in a bad mood.
I'm just saying.
You are.
You just want to say Willie Squiff Squiff Spotspoth or something.
Listen, the character is going to come back at the end of the episode. There no queef huffer no there's no queef huffer that's the best thing
that's the best thing we've come up with ever that's pathetic then that's pathetic you're
pathetic for not being able to see true vision queef huffer queef huffer yeah that's the exact
same jingle used for all your characters.
Right.
So then we had the Rubik's Knockoff Star Puzzler,
which was the octagonal.
And then we had the Rubik's Clock.
The Rubik's Clock.
Then we had the Rubber Car and then the Rubber.
Rubber Car, both made by Doms.
Doms.
And then we finished with the two cubes.
Two separate cubes.
Now, just to remind you, Paul, if you can figure out which two items
have the same price,
Yeah.
and you'd mean
the obvious one to go for
is the two cubes, isn't it?
Well, I know, yeah.
But it could be the two rubbers
as well, couldn't it?
Yeah, I know.
Or it could be any other two items.
So that's an extra between
available there.
What's your favourite item
of the haul today, Paul?
Clock.
You like the Rubik's clock?
I just have happy memories
of having my Rubik's clock out
fiddling with the
knobs and whistles
and buttons and
making it all say
12 o'clock.
But again, I do
have that criticism
where it's not as
playable with as
his other stuff.
No.
Do you know what
I mean?
Yes, I'm a fan.
It's more of a
puzzle.
They're all puzzles,
but it's more of a
sort of straight,
and do you know
what?
Looking at it
today, it really
is sort of a
forerunner of the
sort of fancy puzzle boxes and things you get today. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? today it really is sort of a forerunner of the sort of
fancy puzzle boxes
and things you get today
yeah yeah yeah
you know what I mean
it's the same
sort of technology
like it's a
it's a premier item
it's a little bit
above
got a brand on it
nice
also the logo
does remind me of
Countdown on Channel 4
is that what you like
the old
the artwork's actually
quite nice
isn't it
the colour
you'll see all the items by the way on our website theche way, on our website, thecheapshow.co.uk.
Thecheapshow.co.uk.
But it's the momento di truffatiti.
And you need to tell me wee-wee.
So you didn't tell me what the ballpark figure was.
Oh, I'll give you a ballpark figure, Paul.
Let me just pull this out of my arse.
Here's your ballpark figure.
Ballpark figure.
Can't get better
than a bullpup finger.
36 minutes, mate.
Yay, yay.
Oh, bullpup finger.
I was just trying to think.
Here's my paper.
Yeah.
All right.
Bullpup finger.
Yes.
£6.50.
Didn't come to more than £6.50. Really? Let me just double check that. Didn't come to more than £6.50. You didn't come to more than £6.50.
Really?
Let me just double check that.
Didn't come to more than £6.50.
Right.
Well, that's surprising because I only thought we were going to be talking like £9, £10.
Really?
Why?
With the clock in the good condition in the box.
The clock's in good condition.
So what would you say?
That's the most expensive item today, Paul?
I'd like to think so.
Now, again, you can get a super bonus by getting them all in a row.
Yeah.
From cheapest to... I'd like to put them out in a row on the table so you can see visually super bonus by getting them all in a row. Yeah. From cheapest to...
I'd like to put them out in a row on the table
so you can see visually what I'm doing here.
Give me everything.
I've got the two puzzles, I've got the star puzzle,
I've got the map, I need that, I need the two rubbers.
Right, here we go.
I think the cheapest was the rubbers.
No, this cheapest.
Okay.
The ring green maze is cheapest.
Okay.
And I'm going to say...
And that's your first item,
so you're going to give me a price.
I'm going to say that is...
I'll be writing them down.
No cheating.
I'm going to say 40p.
40p for the ring maze is the cheapest item.
That's your final guess.
Yeah. Now, the star puzzler was the cheapest item that's your final final guess yeah now
the star puzzler
was the next item
that I gave you
that does not necessarily
no no no no
I'm not thinking about
I'm going to say
the rubbers come next
I'm going to say
the rubber
and these
we're different prices
I don't know
I just need you to guess
in the price
I am
I'm going to do the price now
alright
I'm fucking
figuring out the process
talking out loud not only gets to read it I need the guesses from you in now. All right. I'm fucking figuring out the process. Talking out loud.
Not only gets the reader insight into my thinking,
but also helps me.
I need the guesses from you in the order that I gave you the items.
Yes, because I've got the prices written down here.
But then how am I meant to rank them?
Rank them after you give me the prices.
I'm ranking them now.
It helps me judge the prices.
And it doesn't take that much more of a difficulty from you
to just put it down on your little precious notepad.
All right.
Come on, then.
So I think the rubbers are next,
but I think it's that rubber, the purple one next,
and that is, I'm going to say that's 75p.
The neon eraser is 75p, you say?
Then the car eraser, that comes next.
I'm going to say that is, it's in a little box.
I'm going to say that's a quid.
And then I think it's...
I think these are the two prices for the same price.
Right.
You think both the Perspex boxes are the same price?
I say that because if they were bought in a charity shop,
why would they be differently priced?
Right?
They'd be the same price.
Or they'd say, here's two for one.
And they'd give you...
I paid separate prices
for both of those. Really? Yes.
From the same or different charity shops?
Same charity shop. Oh that's wrong
they fucking wronged it.
No I'm just saying they were separate they could be the
same price but they didn't come as an
item together. Well then they can't
be the same the ones that I bought
that are the same price then can I? Yes they can.
No you just said they were different prices.
You said... I said they were both separately
priced. That's all. I didn't say they were
different prices. I said they were separately priced.
Don't get into fucking this shit with me.
50p. Oh my god, you've
broken the bucket one. Oh, fuck.
I didn't know that was... Oh, it's lost. It's gone
forever. It's not. I'll figure it out.
I'm gone. It's on the floor.
The marbles are the ones I've saved, and that's the important shit.
The bucket will be fine.
Don't worry about it.
No, I've got to.
Give me that candle.
The candle's dripping wax all over the table now.
It's going to hell.
The podcast's collapsing.
Come on.
Oh, no.
You've dropped the fucking Rubik's clock.
Where's the bucket?
I don't know.
You got it.
He's got it.
I've got the yellow bucket.
I'm really worried about that candle.
Thank you. Put my face in it, then've got the yellow bucket. I'm really worried about that candle. Thank you.
Put my face in it then.
That one's fine.
That one's out.
It's fine.
A little bit of drippage.
Doesn't hurt anyone.
Tell that to Leaky Ken.
There you go.
He's made a business from it.
A little bit of drippage.
It looks like someone's spuffed in your trousers.
It does.
All right.
All this delaying tactics isn't going to help you, Paul. You need to. It does. All right. All this delaying tactics
isn't going to help you, Paul.
You need to get guessing.
All right.
Well, I'm going to say
they're 50p each.
Okay.
What have you not guessed?
One thing.
Star Puzzler.
And I haven't done the clock.
Oh, and the clock.
Yeah.
So I need to push the star puzzler.
So hang on to that.
That's 50p.
That's 25.
That's pounds.
So let's just say it's
I'm going to say this is £1.50
Star Puzzler £1.50
leaving me
to suggest that the Rubik's
clock was £2
£2 for the clock
my order is thus
cheapest Green Ring Maze
next cheapest Purple Rubber.
Next cheapest, Doubley Doubley
Double Cube Puzzles.
Next more expensive, Rubber Car.
Then Star Puzzler and the
most expensive is Rubix.
That is my final assessment, sir.
I leave it to you
to judge me accordingly. Okay, I will be.
But let me just say, before I go into
the apportioning of the betwings
for today's episode of The Price is Right,
Paul, you've done very well.
Very, very well.
You said that last time,
and then I got one betwing.
Well, you did better than that.
Okay?
You've done a lot better than that today.
There was a lot of betwings.
Can I win this little bit of droplet?
You can have that little droplet of spoff-like wax,
if you like.
I shall treasure it.
No, you won't.
I shall put it on my cheek,
just here,
like a milky tear.
Milky tear.
Milky tears.
That could be a fucking
80s pop group.
Ladies and gentlemen,
at number three,
with their new track,
She Won't Forgive Me,
it's Milky Tears.
Oh,
I've got milky tears.
Oh, is that the name of the band?
This is shit, isn't it?
I'm going.
We should have had this conversation
offstage, Brian. And now, straight in? This is shit, isn't it? I'm going. We should have had this conversation offstage, Brian.
And now, straight in, like a bullet, number three.
Queef Harper with I Half Queef.
Queef Harper.
Queef Harper, yeah.
Every fucking time.
Right.
We're going to start with the cheapest item.
Yes.
Paul?
Yes.
The cheapest item was, as you guessed, the Green Ring Puzzle.
Petwing.
And you said it was.
Oh, no, it's not Petwing yet.
You don't get Petwing.
You haven't got Petwing yet.
Don't fucking start counting your Petwings before they've hatched yet.
Yeah.
Don't count your Petwings before they've splashed.
Yeah.
Now, you are about to be awarded a Petwing, though, because you said it was 40p, the actual
price of the Green Ring's Puzzle. Unusual for a you said it was 40p. The actual price of the Green Rings puzzle, unusual for a London charity shop, was 30p.
30p.
You don't usually see items less than 50p in a London charity shop.
Well, I had a feeling about this, that it was an off price.
There was something about it that just said it's not quite priced right.
It wouldn't be 50p.
It wouldn't be a pound.
It's better than 25p.
It'd be a hard item to price, wouldn't it?
So one between there.
I'm glad I picked it up for 30p.
Yeah.
Then we go on to the Star Puzzler.
Oh, that was the next one?
No, this is just the order I've got it written down.
Oh, okay.
So we're going to keep hold of all of this.
Right.
You said £1.50.
The Star Puzzler was a very reasonable pound.
Oh.
No per twings there.
No per twings there.
Now let's look at the Rubik's Clock.
Yes.
The Rubik's Clock, nice, almost mint on card.
Lovely item. Insert included. Yeah mint on card. Insert included.
Yeah, lovely item.
Insert included.
Very nice item.
You said £2.
Uh-huh.
I paid for that.
Yeah.
Maybe it's a bit over the odds.
£2.50.
Oh.
It was £2.50.
No betweens there for.
That was my first guess, unfortunately, as well.
No, you've had a little dry patch now with no betweens since the first item.
No.
But get ready, because the betweens are going to be flopping on your wind sail like a big pair of nuggets.
Right.
That made no sense.
I know, but it had a ring to it.
It did.
It did.
It had a certain amount of flow.
Cube puzzles.
Both same price.
Betwing.
Well done.
Excellent.
That's an extra betwing.
Both got the same price.
Do you know how much the price was?
Go on.
You said 50p each. Yeah. Our's an extra per twing. You've both got the same price. Do you know how much the price was? Go on. You said 50p each.
Yeah.
Our survey said 50p each.
Oh, that's a per twing, per twing.
That you've just scored five per twings.
It's a five per twing moment.
I'm very proud.
That is.
Shall I just give it to them originally?
I'd like to thank the Academy.
We're going to ask Mr. Inchman to award you the per twings.
No, I don't know.
I'm not doing the podcast.
Right. No, I'm just, how many do you want?
How many betwings?
Listen, my hand's got to work. I'm going to put bread on the table.
Betwing, betwing, betwing, betwing,
betwing, betwing.
Right, I'm off. Thanks, Eli.
I also don't want him coming back for any extra
betwings that happen.
Come in, Paul, come back.
I've not figured out your mind games.
We've added that to betwing you got for getting within 25p on the first one.
I've got six per twings.
Six per twings, can you imagine?
Yeah, I am.
You're bounteous.
Yeah, what's next?
So those were the same price, they were 50p each.
Right, so now we've just got the rubbers.
Okay, the rubbers were different prices.
Well done for discerning that.
Yes, thank you.
The neon eraser, you said 75p. I did. discerning that. Yes, thank you. The neon eraser.
Yeah.
You said 75p.
I did.
Oh, you're just outside the patwing zone.
It was 59p.
How are you? 60.
No, you got a patwing for that.
Excellent run of twing.
I'm on seven patwings.
Fuck me.
This is fucking great.
I'm humbled.
I'm humbled and gracious.
And now we go to my favourite item probably today, which is the car.
Little car eraser.
Dom's car eraser.
Nice that, because it goes with my other one.
Yeah.
And also I've got erasers in the shape of shoes.
And food.
And food.
You said...
Yeah.
One pound.
I did for the car.
You are just outside the between zone on that one.
It was one pound 29.
Oh, ruggle me boggles.
Four pence outside the between zone.
What a strange price.
Yeah, that's why I thought they were going to be good for the game
because they've got those 29.
So I've done all right there.
So what order is it in again, Matt?
So the cheapest item was the green rings at 30p.
Then the cubes.
Star puzzler.
Oh, the cubes.
Yeah.
Then the neon eraser.
Yeah.
Then the star puzzler. Oh, okay. And then the car. And then Rubik's. And then the Rubon Eraser then the Star Puzzler
and then the car
and then Rubik's
so you didn't get the three bonus Petwings there
but you had a good crack at it
so we just recap
how many Petwings did you get?
I believe I got seven Petwings
so that is Petwing Petwing
Petwing Petwing Petwing
here's the cherry on the top
Petwing
it's been a night of Petwings, ladies and gentlemen.
Well done.
In a honest and fair and just and well-structured...
No muffing around.
See?
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
And look, if you're careful, I've put the balls in the bucket.
So if you leave it...
Oh, you've cheated at it.
So you can say to people, I've done it.
Ah!
And they won't know because they won't know if it's sealed or not.
On this one, the bucket challenge.
Look, there's some markings.
Like there used to be some other sort of marking there.
Can you see that?
Yeah.
I think that's just the way the plastic's been moulded, mate.
I like those things.
They are nice.
Is it because they're nostalgic for me?
So all of those puzzles were all in one tranche in a charity shop.
I love it when you go
into a charity shop
and you can sort of
almost discern
someone's...
Well, you know what I say.
The remnant of someone's collection
or someone's peccadillo
for something.
Do you know what I mean?
Well, here's my opinion.
Like, you go in
and there's loads of frogs
and there's also, like,
a frog tea towel.
Yeah.
And there's, you know what I mean?
There's obviously some guy
who likes puzzles.
Valerie, there's a bunch of
frogs things
I'll put them together
on one shelf
that will shift them
for any frog fans
out there
there are frog fans
but you know what
my theory is
the more disorganised
a charity shop is
the more interesting
the items within it
because you go into
some like shelter
and they make it
kind of feel like
you're walking into
a kind of cheap showroom
I don't like that
or like some of them
like Oxfam
do that now as well.
I mean, they'll get along.
They all have all these sort of products
that aren't secondhand.
No, but that's fine because of the brand.
And I get that,
that they want to kind of look good on the high street.
But at the same time,
all I'm saying is,
regardless of the quality of those shops,
I tend to find the more interesting stuff
in the weird bric-a-brac-y charity shops.
It's more towards the flea market bric-a-brac.
You know the one in Cambridge you used to love going to? The one that was just over the bridge? That was great, yeah. Full of fucking mad shit. weird bric-a-brac-y charity shop it's more towards the flea market bric-a-brac end of the scale
in Cambridge
used to love going to
that was just over
the bridge
full of fucking
mad shit
every week
cards and toys
my favourite round here
I think is
where I got the eggs
the timey eggs
which is the hospice
one up the road
bit more ramshackle
bit more ramshackle
it's all about turnover
though isn't it
really with those
yeah
but also when stuff doesn't sell, they ship it.
Stop turnover, I mean.
They ship it to another charity shop, don't they?
Yeah, because my father has recently started working in an Oxfam, volunteering in an Oxfam.
He told me their books, it's a specialist book one.
Yeah.
He said they get books in and they literally donate them to other charities.
If they don't want to sell them, they're not good enough for them.
Like the quality's not good.
Other charities will take them. want to sell them they're not good enough for them other charities will
take them
yeah I guess they will
so there's a whole
sort of hierarchy in
food chain in the
charity shop
so Oxfam are like
you take this shit
we don't want it
you fuck off
you get our sloppy
second
basically
or third or fourth
actually
exactly so yeah
there is a hierarchy
there
well there you go
I didn't know that
but there you go
it goes to show
it feels like someone
spuffed into my beard
and it's dried
well you know how to get it out at least I know what that's like now you don't I'll spuff in it right now I didn't know that. But there you go. It goes to show. It feels like someone's spuffed into my beard and it's dried. Well, you know how to get it out.
At least I know what that's like now.
You don't.
I'll spuff in it right now.
I don't want you to.
Do you want to do an off-brand brand off of my spuff and that?
And what?
And that sour, chewy liquid.
Be much stickier.
Off-brand brand off.
Off-brand brand off.
Off-brand off.
I don't know.
Just.
Paul, everything you've tried this week.
It's been awful.
It really has.
I'm sorry. I didn't want it. I don't want you to be bad,'t know. Paul, everything you've tried this week, it really has. I'm sorry.
I didn't want it.
I don't want you to be bad, you know,
because it hurts both of us when you're so shit.
I'm sorry.
Why have you?
It's fine.
You can rectify it in the edit.
Yeah.
I have been a longstanding servant of Cheap Show
for the past five years,
but due to recent developments,
I feel I cannot perform my duties
to the ability of which you demand. I therefore'm stepping down from my duties on cheap show as of immediate
effect i can only apologize to those i've hurt and pray that i can do my best to atone for the
things that i have done to let the side down in the production weekly of this podcast i'd like
to apologize to my co-host Eli that's
okay letting him down
and for being an
unfunny cunt it just
this week you've had
some blocks you know
all I want to say is
thank you for
supporting me through
the difficult time but
I don't feel I can
carry on as of next
week Paul Rose will be
taking over the role of
cheap show and you can
do the little fucking
editing I have a nice
long cry for a fortnight
Jesus Christ
and then get all
jealous and stomp
back in and say
this is my show
you have to write
your book mate
do you want to
plug that
yeah
we'll do it in a
bit when we're
doing the wrap up
because right now
I'm having a moment
I need a hug mate
alright after
no touching during
the broadcast
come on
no touching
during broadcast it might be what. No touching during broadcast.
It might be what I need.
I don't care what you need.
Right.
What a great friend you are.
I'm glad you did it then because I was recording.
Oh, don't.
So guess what this episode is going to end with?
No.
A loud, protracted, reverb-filled, echoey
fart. Oh no!
Oh no!
I can feel it in my teeth.
Why'd you do it? I didn't!
I'm so vulnerable today
and you did that?
Come on, mate. Let's wrap this show up.
I'm so vulnerable today and you just
just... All you've done
is fart near or right close to me.
Stop it!
I don't want to be known as the farter!
Then maybe control your bowels.
You could control the edit!
No, I do that.
I intentionally leave it in to prevent you from doing it further when we're recording.
Nothing can stop me.
Yeah, you're right.
So just don't embarrass me.
Just huff up my...
Suck up my huff.
Wow.
Huff up my suck.
Queef huffer.
Here I come.
I'm just going to let him struggle now for a bit.
Here I come.
What seems to be the problem here, madam?
I hate already where this is going to go.
What's the problem, lady?
I've got uncontrollable queefage.
Aha!
You know nothing about female bodies, do you?
You just know nothing.
What?
You know nothing about...
Are you telling me uncontrollable queefage is not a thing that ever affected anyone?
I don't know.
To be fair, I don't know.
So you shut up!
I just don't know if, like...
I'm doing this fucking sketch.
Uncontrollable.
I hate this so much.
Don't worry.
Thank God I've stepped down from this podcast.
He's American.
If your accent's good enough, you shouldn't have to tell them.
It's like when a bad impressionist comes out on stage on a TV show and goes,
Right.
Oh, Betty, I'm Frank Spencer.
Oh.
You know, it's like that.
Don't worry, darling.
I'll huff that queef right up.
Mm.
Right.
Queef-upper!
That's it.
No, right.
So, okay.
So, let's think.
He's not much of a superhero
because nothing he does is super or heroic.
He can have queefs.
No, but how does that save the day?
Lex Luthor's got a death ray.
She had uncontrollable queefage and he's huffing up.
Lex Luthor's got a death ray.
How is that not saving the day?
Lex Luthor's got a death ray.
He's pointed at an orphanage.
And meanwhile, your superhero has got his head between a lady's legs.
Lex Luthor is a supervillain.
And inhaling her queef gas.
Lex Luthor is a supervillain. Yeah inhaling her queef gas. Lex Luthor is a supervillain.
Yeah, but how does the man huffing queefs
help prevent Lex Luthor do his evil bidding?
Well, let's play it out.
Oh, I'm Lex Luthor,
and I've got a death rate pointed at Gotham orphanage.
And if I don't get 20 million pounds
and Batman to show up
and Superman to show up and fight,
I will kill all the orphans.
Hello, who is this?
I'm Queef Hoffa.
Bang, dead.
I just shot you right in the fucking face.
Bang, bang, bang.
I've got queef protection.
Yeah?
Does a queef protect you from a bullet?
Bang, bang, bang, you're dead.
I've saved magical queefs over the years and one of them is a protection queef.
Right.
I was wearing my protection queef.
What does that do?
It stops bullets.
How?
By being a magic queef.
Where does the queef come from?
A magic lady's vagina.
You absorb them all.
The magic lady's vagina from an alien world.
Do you ever listen back to the podcast? I've got a whole set of queefs with different abilities. Come on, Lex. You absorb them all. The magic lady's vagina from an alien world.
Do you ever listen back to the podcast? I've got a whole set of queefs with different abilities.
Come on, Lex.
What else you got?
I've changed the accent of this character.
Yeah, I know.
What else you got?
There's my queef shield.
Anything else you can throw at me?
I've got a queef for that.
I've got a magic queef in my bag-o-queef.
That's good. He's got a fucking utility belt thing. Bag-o-queef. That's good.
He's got a fucking utility belt thing.
Bag-o-queef.
So he's got a belt of vaginas around his waist.
Each one with a particular queef in that he can use.
They're not vaginas.
They're just bags holding queefs.
Are they poultices?
Bag-o-queef.
Right.
In the time you've explained this, I, Lex Luthor have killed the orphanage
I don't care
now come at me Luthor
bang bang bang
you're dead
I use a different gun
that has queef
queef piercing bullets
queef piercing bullets
I love it
yeah I'm dead now
yeah
there you go
like at your kryptonite
I found bullets
that can pierce queefs
yeah he's dead now
yeah so there you go
awful superhero
and is it
does Inchman want to turn up
while he's here? Inchman's got lots
of things to do. He's busy.
I'm just saying, I'm Lex Luthor. I can
take him all on. Lex Luthor is not Jimmy
Biscuits. I can't
do accents, mate.
I'm Lex Luthor
and I come from
the West Country. West Country Lex Luthor.
I'm Lexi Luthor and I've got a proper Country. West Country Lex Luthor. I'm Lexi Luthor
and I've got a proper cider.
I've tainted the cider.
Oh.
I've tainted the cider
with my own special grippage.
You complain about
Queef Huffer.
At least he's not just
a rehash of Grumbly.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know.
Shall we wrap this show up now?
