All Eli knows, is... that he finds this highly amusing. Paul obviously doesn't. It's a show packed with cheap eats and a Price of Shite that we can assure you is all above board and chock full of p-twings! We'd also like to apologise for Eli's new terrible character.

Starting point is 00:16:57 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...
Starting point is 00:17:15 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
Starting point is 00:17:31 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
Starting point is 00:17:39 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.
Starting point is 00:17:45 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.
Starting point is 00:18:02 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.
Starting point is 00:18:20 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.
Starting point is 00:18:35 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.
Starting point is 00:18:45 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.
Starting point is 00:18:59 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...
Starting point is 00:19:10 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.
Starting point is 00:19:20 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.
Starting point is 00:19:36 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
Starting point is 00:19:48 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
Starting point is 00:19:56 like fake burger candy yeah by what's that called trolley here's the sauce what sauce is that it's the candy sauce.
Starting point is 00:20:06 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.
Starting point is 00:20:19 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.
Starting point is 00:20:34 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.
Starting point is 00:20:43 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...
Starting point is 00:20:51 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.
Starting point is 00:21:08 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.
Starting point is 00:21:20 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.
Starting point is 00:21:31 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
Starting point is 00:21:48 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.
Starting point is 00:22:04 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.
Starting point is 00:22:19 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.
Starting point is 00:22:30 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
Starting point is 00:22:45 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?
Starting point is 00:22:56 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.
Starting point is 00:23:04 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.
Starting point is 00:23:18 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.
Starting point is 00:23:48 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.
Starting point is 00:24:01 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.
Starting point is 00:24:18 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?
Starting point is 00:24:33 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.
Starting point is 00:24:50 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.
Starting point is 00:25:13 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.
Starting point is 00:25:28 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.
Starting point is 00:25:35 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.
Starting point is 00:25:45 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?
Starting point is 00:26:01 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.
Starting point is 00:26:18 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
Starting point is 00:26:35 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.
Starting point is 00:26:50 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.
Starting point is 00:27:01 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,
Starting point is 00:27:10 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.
Starting point is 00:27:19 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?
Starting point is 00:27:27 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.
Starting point is 00:27:37 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.
Starting point is 00:27:47 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.
Starting point is 00:27:59 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.
Starting point is 00:28:13 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.
Starting point is 00:28:26 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.
Starting point is 00:28:35 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.
Starting point is 00:28:48 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.
Starting point is 00:28:56 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,
Starting point is 00:29:06 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?
Starting point is 00:29:21 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.
Starting point is 00:29:33 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
Starting point is 00:29:40 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.
Starting point is 00:29:54 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
Starting point is 00:30:05 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
Starting point is 00:30:11 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.
Starting point is 00:30:18 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.
Starting point is 00:30:24 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.
Starting point is 00:30:31 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.
Starting point is 00:30:43 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.
Starting point is 00:30:53 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
Starting point is 00:31:03 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.
Starting point is 00:31:13 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?
Starting point is 00:31:24 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.
Starting point is 00:31:40 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.
Starting point is 00:32:09 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.
Starting point is 00:32:25 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
Starting point is 00:32:33 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,
Starting point is 00:32:41 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
Starting point is 00:32:55 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
Starting point is 00:33:06 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
Starting point is 00:33:12 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
Starting point is 00:33:22 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.
Starting point is 00:33:32 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.
Starting point is 00:33:47 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.
Starting point is 00:34:03 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
Starting point is 00:34:10 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
Starting point is 00:34:15 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
Starting point is 00:34:23 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.
Starting point is 00:34:46 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
Starting point is 00:35:01 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.
Starting point is 00:35:22 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.
Starting point is 00:35:32 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.
Starting point is 00:35:48 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.
Starting point is 00:36:06 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?
Starting point is 00:36:15 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?
Starting point is 00:36:23 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.
Starting point is 00:36:34 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.
Starting point is 00:36:42 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.
Starting point is 00:36:52 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.
Starting point is 00:37:00 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.
Starting point is 00:37:13 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.
Starting point is 00:37:35 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.
Starting point is 00:37:50 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
Starting point is 00:38:07 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.
Starting point is 00:38:25 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.
Starting point is 00:38:37 Oh, you had me going. Right, one more item on TP. Is it? Christ. Hurry up, then. Two more items. No, one. Stop.
Starting point is 00:38:44 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.
Starting point is 00:39:02 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.
Starting point is 00:39:12 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...
Starting point is 00:39:22 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.
Starting point is 00:39:36 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.
Starting point is 00:39:48 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.
Starting point is 00:40:03 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.
Starting point is 00:40:14 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.
Starting point is 00:40:27 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.
Starting point is 00:40:39 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.
Starting point is 00:40:55 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,
Starting point is 00:41:03 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.
Starting point is 00:41:11 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,
Starting point is 00:41:18 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.
Starting point is 00:41:28 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,
Starting point is 00:41:38 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.
Starting point is 00:41:47 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...
Starting point is 00:41:59 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.
Starting point is 00:42:15 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.
Starting point is 00:42:28 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.
Starting point is 00:42:42 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.
Starting point is 00:42:55 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.
Starting point is 00:43:15 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.
Starting point is 00:43:32 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?
Starting point is 00:43:53 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.
Starting point is 00:44:03 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.
Starting point is 00:44:16 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
Starting point is 00:44:24 and that navy blue red and blue white and blue yeah because that's what we found out didn't we doing the research
Starting point is 00:44:29 ready salted the reason why it's called ready salted is because plain crisps were like this originally and used to come
Starting point is 00:44:35 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
Starting point is 00:44:41 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.
Starting point is 00:44:52 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.
Starting point is 00:45:07 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.
Starting point is 00:45:16 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.
Starting point is 00:45:35 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!
Starting point is 00:45:50 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.
Starting point is 00:46:00 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.
Starting point is 00:46:28 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.
Starting point is 00:46:52 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.
Starting point is 00:47:09 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...
Starting point is 00:47:28 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.
Starting point is 00:47:48 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.
Starting point is 00:47:55 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
Starting point is 00:48:16 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,
Starting point is 00:48:40 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.
Starting point is 00:48:55 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
Starting point is 00:49:09 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.
Starting point is 00:49:26 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.
Starting point is 00:49:45 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
Starting point is 00:49:50 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
Starting point is 00:50:02 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.
Starting point is 00:50:10 No. You cannot. Please let me put the cork in the metres of this idea. You cannot quench the Queef Huffer. Right.
Starting point is 00:50:19 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.
Starting point is 00:50:34 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.
Starting point is 00:50:46 If you'd like to count them as I say them. Yeah. Between, between. Yeah. Between, between. Four. Between, between. Six.
Starting point is 00:50:53 Between, between. Eight. Extra between. Nine. Because those two are the same price, those ones. Okay. Between, between. I've already lost count.
Starting point is 00:51:01 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
Starting point is 00:51:09 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
Starting point is 00:51:20 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
Starting point is 00:51:33 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?
Starting point is 00:51:44 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.
Starting point is 00:52:03 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.
Starting point is 00:52:13 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
Starting point is 00:52:23 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?
Starting point is 00:52:39 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.
Starting point is 00:52:49 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.
Starting point is 00:52:57 It didn't take 10 seconds. All right, 15. Time me. You ready? Go. One, two. This is great podcasting. Three.
Starting point is 00:53:04 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.
Starting point is 00:53:17 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
Starting point is 00:53:25 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
Starting point is 00:53:42 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
Starting point is 00:53:50 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
Starting point is 00:53:59 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
Starting point is 00:54:15 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.
Starting point is 00:54:34 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.
Starting point is 00:54:46 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.
Starting point is 00:54:59 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.
Starting point is 00:55:10 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
Starting point is 00:55:27 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.
Starting point is 00:55:33 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.
Starting point is 00:55:44 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.
Starting point is 00:55:58 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.
Starting point is 00:56:09 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.
Starting point is 00:56:19 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.
Starting point is 00:56:33 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
Starting point is 00:56:48 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
Starting point is 00:57:03 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
Starting point is 00:57:10 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
Starting point is 00:57:19 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
Starting point is 00:57:25 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
Starting point is 00:57:33 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.
Starting point is 00:57:42 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,
Starting point is 00:57:56 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
Starting point is 00:58:21 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?
Starting point is 00:58:38 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?
Starting point is 00:58:55 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.
Starting point is 00:59:12 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
Starting point is 00:59:33 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.
Starting point is 01:00:08 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.
Starting point is 01:00:23 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...
Starting point is 01:00:38 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.
Starting point is 01:00:48 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.
Starting point is 01:00:54 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
Starting point is 01:01:01 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.
Starting point is 01:01:14 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.
Starting point is 01:01:29 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.
Starting point is 01:01:37 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?
Starting point is 01:01:54 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.
Starting point is 01:02:11 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
Starting point is 01:02:25 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
Starting point is 01:02:41 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.
Starting point is 01:02:59 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.
Starting point is 01:03:25 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.
Starting point is 01:03:33 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.
Starting point is 01:03:45 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?
Starting point is 01:03:53 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.
Starting point is 01:04:07 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.
Starting point is 01:04:28 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.
Starting point is 01:04:38 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?
Starting point is 01:04:53 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?
Starting point is 01:05:07 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.
Starting point is 01:05:17 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.
Starting point is 01:05:29 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.
Starting point is 01:05:43 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.
Starting point is 01:05:59 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.
Starting point is 01:06:11 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.
Starting point is 01:06:23 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
Starting point is 01:06:37 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
Starting point is 01:06:47 yeah I remember my dick being bigger do you want to elaborate yeah a long time ago you thought your dick was bigger
Starting point is 01:06:56 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
Starting point is 01:07:01 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.
Starting point is 01:07:14 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.
Starting point is 01:07:24 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.
Starting point is 01:07:33 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?
Starting point is 01:07:39 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.
Starting point is 01:07:47 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.
Starting point is 01:07:55 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?
Starting point is 01:08:04 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.
Starting point is 01:08:15 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
Starting point is 01:08:27 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
Starting point is 01:08:33 dilly dallying no shilly shallying it is a collectible car eraser by Dom's sports collectible car
Starting point is 01:08:41 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.
Starting point is 01:08:49 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.
Starting point is 01:08:56 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.
Starting point is 01:09:07 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.
Starting point is 01:09:15 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.
Starting point is 01:09:28 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.
Starting point is 01:09:37 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.
Starting point is 01:09:46 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.
Starting point is 01:09:59 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.
Starting point is 01:10:10 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.
Starting point is 01:10:21 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.
Starting point is 01:10:31 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.
Starting point is 01:10:41 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.
Starting point is 01:10:52 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.
Starting point is 01:11:01 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.
Starting point is 01:11:09 Mondagon. Tuesdaygon. Wednesdaygon. Thursdaygon. Octagon. Pentagon. Pentagon is five. Septagon.
Starting point is 01:11:18 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
Starting point is 01:11:26 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
Starting point is 01:11:33 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
Starting point is 01:11:43 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?
Starting point is 01:11:53 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.
Starting point is 01:12:03 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.
Starting point is 01:12:14 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
Starting point is 01:12:29 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
Starting point is 01:12:36 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.
Starting point is 01:12:46 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.
Starting point is 01:13:03 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!
Starting point is 01:13:21 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.
Starting point is 01:13:29 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...
Starting point is 01:13:39 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.
Starting point is 01:13:48 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,
Starting point is 01:13:57 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.
Starting point is 01:14:05 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.
Starting point is 01:14:24 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.
Starting point is 01:14:38 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.
Starting point is 01:14:51 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.
Starting point is 01:15:03 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
Starting point is 01:15:19 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
Starting point is 01:15:28 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.
Starting point is 01:15:34 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.
Starting point is 01:15:41 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.
Starting point is 01:15:53 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.
Starting point is 01:16:15 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
Starting point is 01:16:42 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.
Starting point is 01:16:58 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
Starting point is 01:17:10 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.
Starting point is 01:17:18 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
Starting point is 01:17:27 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.
Starting point is 01:17:35 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
Starting point is 01:17:39 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
Starting point is 01:17:45 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
Starting point is 01:17:52 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
Starting point is 01:17:58 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.
Starting point is 01:18:12 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.
Starting point is 01:18:27 36 minutes, mate. Yay, yay. Oh, bullpup finger. I was just trying to think. Here's my paper. Yeah. All right. Bullpup finger.
Starting point is 01:18:42 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.
Starting point is 01:18:53 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.
Starting point is 01:19:03 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.
Starting point is 01:19:16 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.
Starting point is 01:19:33 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
Starting point is 01:19:48 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
Starting point is 01:19:54 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
Starting point is 01:20:01 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.
Starting point is 01:20:13 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.
Starting point is 01:20:27 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...
Starting point is 01:20:47 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.
Starting point is 01:21:03 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
Starting point is 01:21:17 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.
Starting point is 01:21:34 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.
Starting point is 01:21:48 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.
Starting point is 01:21:59 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.
Starting point is 01:22:08 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.
Starting point is 01:22:17 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.
Starting point is 01:22:30 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.
Starting point is 01:22:37 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
Starting point is 01:22:49 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.
Starting point is 01:23:06 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.
Starting point is 01:23:22 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.
Starting point is 01:23:33 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.
Starting point is 01:23:44 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,
Starting point is 01:23:53 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?
Starting point is 01:24:03 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.
Starting point is 01:24:19 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.
Starting point is 01:24:31 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
Starting point is 01:24:43 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.
Starting point is 01:24:58 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.
Starting point is 01:25:10 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.
Starting point is 01:25:22 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.
Starting point is 01:25:31 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.
Starting point is 01:25:39 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.
Starting point is 01:25:54 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.
Starting point is 01:26:02 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.
Starting point is 01:26:14 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?
Starting point is 01:26:27 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.
Starting point is 01:26:43 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.
Starting point is 01:26:57 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.
Starting point is 01:27:09 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.
Starting point is 01:27:17 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.
Starting point is 01:27:30 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.
Starting point is 01:27:39 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.
Starting point is 01:27:56 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
Starting point is 01:28:06 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
Starting point is 01:28:20 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.
Starting point is 01:28:32 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.
Starting point is 01:28:43 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.
Starting point is 01:28:58 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
Starting point is 01:29:09 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
Starting point is 01:29:17 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
Starting point is 01:29:25 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
Starting point is 01:29:31 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
Starting point is 01:29:39 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.
Starting point is 01:29:46 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,
Starting point is 01:29:58 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
Starting point is 01:30:08 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
Starting point is 01:30:16 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
Starting point is 01:30:23 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.
Starting point is 01:30:43 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
Starting point is 01:30:49 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
Starting point is 01:30:56 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
Starting point is 01:31:02 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.
Starting point is 01:31:09 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.
Starting point is 01:31:21 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.
Starting point is 01:31:32 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,
Starting point is 01:31:42 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
Starting point is 01:32:09 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
Starting point is 01:32:18 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
Starting point is 01:32:27 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
Starting point is 01:32:32 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
Starting point is 01:32:42 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.
Starting point is 01:32:57 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.
Starting point is 01:33:12 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!
Starting point is 01:33:27 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.
Starting point is 01:33:45 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.
Starting point is 01:33:57 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?
Starting point is 01:34:16 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.
Starting point is 01:34:31 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.
Starting point is 01:34:50 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.
Starting point is 01:35:02 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.
Starting point is 01:35:11 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.
Starting point is 01:35:25 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
Starting point is 01:35:43 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.

Starting point is 01:36:13 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.
Starting point is 01:36:29 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.
Starting point is 01:36:39 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.
Starting point is 01:36:57 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
