CheapShow - Ep 221: Game Off!
Episode Date: March 13, 2021Paul forces Eli to take a trip to Gannonland this week. Against his wishes, Eli is made to play two games that, when the dust settles, may have cost them their sanity. Do Paul and Eli "Know Jack?" and... will a simple card game called "Game Off!" force them to make some very troubling decisions? There is a very good chance that it will bring out the very worse in both of them. Which is saying a lot. It's not all games though! We also make a much needed return to the world of "Bobby's" snacks as the cheap chaps try their new Pickled Onion Spirals. Will these crisps continue "Bobby's" strong showing on the show? You'll have to find out the hard way. By listening to it all... With that in mind, what are Bill Doughnut and Richard Brandoff up to? They're up to something troubling and it's going to cause a lot of potentially disastrous problems next week. Keep listening to the very end to see what they've gotten themselves, and the show, into. It's not going to end well… Share & Enjoy.

An old one from the past.
Where were they broadcasting?
It's not magic.

You said you were watching telly.
I was watching a documentary,
and he was on the telly.
Yeah.
In the documentary on a chat show.
He was, yeah.
Yeah.
Fine.
And then he tells that wicked ace joke.
I thought I told not too well.
No, it wasn't.
He really.
But I like it.
It makes me happy.
You lost the rhythm.
It's when I get to that.
You lost the rhythm on the last bit.
Have you turned the heating down?
Yes, I have.

Noodle Talk.
Noodle Talk.
We've discussed this before.
With Nigel Noodle.
Yeah.
The far right noodle.
There's no Nigel Noodle.
Noodles can't be right wing.
Fine.
I stand corrected.
They're the food of the everyman, aren't they?
Are they?
But isn't Nigel Noodle the noodle for the everyman?
He's not a noodle.
He's quit politics anyway.
What, Nigel Noodle? Yeah. Oh, good.
So he's just doing a noodle-based podcast with you.
I do have some noodles. This is like getting Barry Mumford and Sons in here.
Fucking, who didn't know
they were fascists, though, from the first record
they put out? That's all I have to say about Mumford and Sons.
The minute I saw a squeeze box, I thought, fascists. Waistcoat record they put out that's all I have to say about Mumford & Sons the minute I saw a squeeze box
I thought fascists
waistcoat beard
squeeze box combo
spells fascism
no it does though
because they're all
into the folk
the common folk
aren't they fascists
this noodle talk
shop show
sounds really
fucking edgy mate
I don't know if
you can handle it
I'm going to do it
like Joe Rogan style
noodle talk
so it'll be three hours with some cunt so it'll be three hours of me going I don't know if you can handle it I'm going to do it like Joe Rogan style noodle talk so it'll be three hours
with some cunt
so it'll be three hours
of me going
I don't understand
yeah
three hours of
unfat check talk
where they just spout off
whatever they're feeling
in that moment
with me just going
don't understand
like that every five minutes
or so
so what you're saying is
like that
yeah
I think you do it
just as well on this podcast
I don't do that
I control this podcast
and we won't have we've already got a perfectly serviceable segment known as...
We do.
I'm only japing about sending this into Gannonland, the podcast.
I felt like I had to do some work there for a second.
Wow.
I'd hate you to ever fucking have to think that.
Fuck you.
What are these?
You talk about them.
Bobbies.
We've covered them before, Paul.
A while ago.
They were a British manufacturer of snacks.
And you know what?
High quality.
Because I had a packet of their salt and vinegar spirals last night to nibble on.
Oh, you did?
And I was just thinking, what a lovely snack for 39p.
Simple.
It's not too tart, the salt and vinegar.
It's quite sweet almost.
It's nice.
Do you remember those spirals from back in the day when we were children?
No. Don't you remember? You'd have them back in the day when we were children? No.
Don't you remember?
You'd have them at
birthday parties and
things next to the
trifle.
There'd be those
spirals.
Just salt flavoured
ones.
For me, they were
big packets of puffed
corn crisps that were
in the shape of like
wagon wheels and
there's a squirrel on
the front.
I know those ones.
I know those ones.
And I used to bite
them so they looked
like TIE Fighters.
You took the top off
each part of the
wagon wheel and it
looked like a little TIE Fighter.
Just imagine you running around with some sloppy,
half-chewed fucking wagon wheel crisp,
rubbing it on the sofa,
and then it all dries,
all bits of masticated crisp and saliva,
and then someone comes along with a little squeegee,
squeegees it off,
and then you smoke that.
Did not work. Oh, fuck off, didn't work. then you smoke that. Did not work.
Oh, fuck off, didn't work.
Fuck you.
Well, cut it then.
Cut all of this.
Cut me.
Right.
That's a dramatic pose.
You had your arms outstretched.
Christ-like.
I feel for this.
Now, Bobbies, we've done that.
The big hit for us with Bobbies was they do things such as...
It was the curry...
Chip shop curry flavoured puffs, I think they were.
Lattices.
Lattices.
Oh, God, they were melt-in-your-mouth gorgeous.
Those were excellent.
So they sort of take things that are very traditional and sort of cheap.
Yeah, simple but fun.
And they've done it again.
Yeah.
Now, you saw a product which we've both been on the hunt for,
which we haven't managed to locate.
What was it? Pretzel bite type stuff. Pretzel bites. Because they're usually expensive. They're trying to both been on the hunt for Which we haven't managed to locate What was it?
Pretzel bite
Pretzel bites
They're trying to muscle in
On the Schneiders market
Because those Schneiders
Are going mainstream now
Haven't they?
Yeah
And they're expensive still
It's like north of a quid
For a pack
And do you know what pisses me off
About the Schneiders pretzel pieces?
Here we go
No one fucking stocks
The best flavour
Which is?
Buffalo wing
Oh
I've never seen them
Those hot buffalo wings
They're vinegary
They're hot They're vinegary.
They're hot.
They're crunchy.
Ooh.
And they're all red.
So they have that sort of what's-its effect.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, like the redness is like the flavour,
and the flavour is the redness, and it gets in there.
And they're a bit like tackies.
You know, tackies have got that extreme sour
that makes you want to eat more.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not quite as extreme as tackies.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mate, those zombie tackies that were sent to the show, I did a few sessions on those. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Not quite as extreme as tackies. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Mate, those zombie tackies that were sent to the show,
I did a few sessions on those.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fuck, shut up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anyway, the upshot being...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Anyway, long story short...
Yeah, I'm doing the upshot!
Fuck you!
Right.
All right, sorry.
We can't find the pretzel pieces.
We're looking for them.
As soon as we get them, we'll do them.
If anyone knows sort of who's stocking them... Maybe send them to our PO box. Yes, please. Email at the find the pretzel pieces. We're looking for them. As soon as we get them, we'll do them. If anyone knows who's stocking them,
we'd like the lowdown.
Maybe send them to our PO box.
Yes, please.
Email at the end of the show.
Not email, a post address at the end of the show.
And email, I'll do them all.
All right, we will cover all our emails
and postal addresses at the end of the show.
We have before us on this table...
God, we take forever to get to things,
don't we, on this fucking show?
Bobbies, I've tried these, you haven't yet.
We're going to have a little miniature cheap eats
where you taste some bobbies.
Nice.
Well, these are pickled onion spirals.
Now, we both know that they do salt and vinegar spirals.
Yeah, nice.
And I remember spiral-shaped crisp things.
They look like fusilli pasta, but they're crisps.
They're spirals, Eli.
Imagine you went to a party and someone gave you
a bunch of fusilli pasta with some salt on it.
And you're like, thanks, Mrs. Meggins.
My lits are bleeding.
Thank you, Mrs. Meggins.
Nice party.
I need to go.
I need to go to the toilet.
I need to go to the toilet.
Is this someone pitching the worst episode of Tales from the Unexpected?
I need to go to the toilet. What you someone pitching the worst episode of Tales from the Unexpected? I need to go to the toilet.
What you do now, Orl.
No, you see, yeah.
No, that's not an example of good acting.
That was convincing, wasn't it?
Yeah, you thought maybe Eli needs to go to the toilet.
That's because you often do when we record.
Halfway through, you go, I need a shit.
Shut up.
Then we take a 15-minute break while you stink the house out.
Bobby, fuck off.
Don't try and shit shame me.
Everyone's shit smells bad, Paul.
Yeah.
Yours is worse than most.
No, it isn't.
It doesn't.
That's purely subjective.
It smells like tramp dark matter.
I don't know how to explain it.
Fuck off.
Yours smells like...
You've never smelt mine because I've never been so rude.
As to what?
I've never viciously dropped my guts in your vicinity.
I'm sorry, I have to air our dirty laundry on air.
Now eat your pickled crisps.
No one wants to hear this.
Right.
Eat your pickled crisps.
You're eating these.
You are tasting these.
I've tasted them.
Oh, okay.
These are pickled onion spirals.
Nice.
Pickled onion is a big thing in crisp flavours in this fair isle in the UK.
Weirdly, I've never really taken to it, but I understand its appeal.
Monster Munch pickled onion being the big, bad pickled onion. Comedian's favourite snack. Weirdly, I've never really taken to it, but I understand its appeal. Monster Munch pickled onion being
the big, bad pickled onion. Comedian's favourite
snack. It is, yes.
And it is sort of the most nostalgic of all
those retro flavours. I guess.
I say that by way of sort of
saying I think what Bobby's are doing with these
pickled onion spirals is trying to get into that
nostalgic, retro flavour.
Okay. And they're good, baby.
So are you going to do the hoof,
or should I do the hoof?
You do the hoof, you do it all.
I'm going to see what I've learnt from you.
I'm going to make a micro hole at the side,
I'm going to puff it in,
see how we go.
Constantino, the hoof air right into the nose hole.
Right, so I'm going to...
It's not easy, should I get some scissors?
No, no, no, I know what I'm doing with this one.
I'm going to take a tiny bite with my rabbit-styling scissors.
Okay, fine.
There's a tiny hole.
There's a tiny hole, there's a tiny hole, there's a tiny
hole in the tiny bag,
in the tiny bag, and I'm gonna
have a hoof, and I'm gonna have a hoof.
Did you used to sing that in Liverpool or something?
No, I don't know. Is that walking down the street
arm in arm? Here we go.
The hoof is happening.
Oh!
Oh, it's a sweet
pickly smell. It is, isn't it?
It smells like those little pickled onions
you get in a big jar of vinegar in the pub.
So it's quite accurate, you're saying,
in terms of the huff.
It does.
It's very reminiscent of that smell you'd get
when you go to an old...
Old man's pub.
Well, yeah.
With the eggs on the thing.
My nan would have her 70th birthday party
in the British Royal Legion Centre.
I love those places.
The whole pickled onion
and a cheese
on a stick thing
it's like
it's that
well that's where
spirals
that's where spirals live
isn't it
in my memory
in parties
yeah right
traditional snacks really
what's your huff
it's a satisfying
pickled onion huff
you know what
I'm getting a sort of
background of sort of
salad cream
weirdly
you might want to
wash that then
no no
there is a salad creamy
sort of vinaigrette yeah vinaigrette that there is a salad creamy sort of vinaigrette
yeah vinaigrette that's it vinaigrette vinaigrette right he's the italian guy like oh no oh yeah
avoid all characters at all costs seriously right i'm gonna have a bite see they're nice i'm not
again i'm not a huge fan of pickled onion but that's a good example of it and it's a solid
crunch really crunchy you can taste a sort of onion pickled onion, but that's a good example of it. And it's a solid crunch. Really crunchy.
You can taste a sort of onion and then the vinegar.
There's good amplitude is what I'm saying.
Very good amplitude.
I'm actually very impressed with Bobby's Crisp Snacks.
They're very good.
There's flavour people at Bobby's are very good.
They make a lot go a long way as well, obviously,
because they're so cheap.
Bobby's boffins doing their job.
Really good.
They make your mouth water considerably as well.
That's what I mean.
Well, that's the sort of tacky thing. It's thing that sort of it's moorish but it's not moorish because
it's salty it's moorish because of the sour yeah did you know humans and pigs are the only two
mammals who can have receptors for sour on their tongue no i did not know that why do you think a
pig needs it don't know but they reckon humans need it because it can it will let you know if
something is off but still edible it's that that's the sort of flavor we can eat yogurt which why we discovered
all of these fermented things that we can eat pickles oh yeah yogurts um cheese all of these
things are fermented and there's fermented meats as well true like sauerkraut as well that's not
meat but it's fermented i know it's just like the first sour thing I thought of. Can you think of a fermented meat product?
Teresa is the one,
is the main one.
Is it?
It's slightly fermented, yeah.
And so it's a way of keeping food, isn't it?
If you can pickle something,
you can keep it for the summer and stuff.
I guess so.
So it's advantageous
to be able to pick up those flavours,
something that is fermented.
Hang on, sorry.
What's going on over there?
What are those two doing?
What?
Brandoff and...
Give me a second.
What are you two doing?
Oh, hi. Hi, Paul.
Hello, boys.
Just helping Bill.
I told you, I know Bill.
Back in the day.
I'm helping him.
What are you helping him do?
Just move this, I don't know, what is it?
It's my old box. I'm helping him. What are you helping him do? I'll just move this, I don't know, what is it? It's my old
box. I'm moving
my old box in. Oh, just moving his box.
Yes, Ruff Ruff. How are you
two? Alright? I'm fine. Eli?
Yeah, I'm good, thanks.
Thank you, yeah. It's just that we've noticed
you've been bringing stuff in and out of the podcast
for a while, well, a couple of days
now. No, I haven't, I just
got here. No, no, I've just been...
I haven't, you know, it's just me and Bill.
Listen, look, I don't want to pull rank here,
Paul, Eli, Ruff Ruff,
but, you know, the contract still has my name on it.
Yeah, no, I know that, but it's not...
So I'm sort of allowed, I'm sort of Ruff Ruff,
kind of allowed around here.
For two more weeks.
I'm allowed, yes.
For two more weeks and then your name's off the list
when we get our pod.
So there's not a fucking problem?
Is there a fucking problem?
Problem!
No, there's no...
Right, good.
No problem, good.
Right, Bill?
I've just got one more question, Bill.
Yes?
Bill, I walk past your room
that you share with Larry
and two things stand out.
Where is Larry?
That's what I'm going to ask him.
One, where is Larry?
And two,
there are all these sounds
coming out like
blub, blub, blub, blub, blub, blub, blub, blub. What's going on? One, where is Larry? And two, all these sounds come out like...
What's going on?
Well, Larry's been sleepy bobos a lot.
He's a sleepy boy.
He's sleepy, is he?
He's a sleepy boy.
I can't wake him.
I don't know what he's doing.
Well, look, are you leaving now, Bill?
Because we wanted you to do a song at the end. What's all the sounds?
What's all the, I don't know, chemistry set sounds
There's some funny smells coming down the hallway as well
Isn't there Paul?
You's just
I really don't have
Come on, come on Bill
Time to go
I'm sorry guys, this is enlightening this conversation
I'm busy, I'm a busy man
I'm trying to build my empire back up
So Bill I'm busy. I'm a busy man. I'm trying to build my empire back up. Ruff, ruff, ruff.
So, Bill,
I'm happy to help you, mate,
but I need to, you know...
Come on, let's sing
a little song.
I've got one.
I've got a box of secrets
with photos you can't see.
And if the police ever catch them,
they'll happily arrest me.
A million box of
naughty photographs.
Get the door, Ruff, Ruff.
Come on, Bill.
My naughty box of naughty photographs My naughty
box of
photographs
are going to
the shops
Bum bum bum bum
There they go.
What's all that about?
The last time I saw
Larry he was just
wandering.
I've only saw
has Brando been
He's been coming
in and out.
They've been going
to the back
bringing little
boxes in
little suitcases
coming in and out.
Larry I saw
the other day
the last time I saw
him about a week ago
weaving down the
corridor like he couldn't stand up straight.
You know, like the ship was rocking kind of feeling.
That's not like him, is it?
It's not.
I kind of feel that we should probably ask them what's going on.
Because when they come back, Brando, he seems to be up to something there.
Yeah, I'm not happy with this.
He's probably got Bill Donut wrapped up in something, and I'm not happy.
Well, they go way back, apparently.
Yeah, but so what? Brando's not in showbiz. I don't understand. I'm not happy. Well, they go way back, apparently. Yeah, but so what?
Brando's not in showbiz.
I don't understand.
I'm not interested.
Can we just move on with the podcast, then?
Can you just tell me?
I need a score for these spirals, please.
I like crisps out of 10.
Good.
I also like crisps out of 10.
I give it crisps out of 10.
I give it 10 out of crisps.
Right. Right.
Right.

Ganon's Golden Games.
Ganon's Golden Games.
Oh, please stop it.
Please stop it.
Before I put
Ganon's Golden Games
down your throat.
Right up my ass.
Go, Ganon's Golden Games.
I will fire two dice down your throat, shake you, Yes! Go Gannons Golden Games! And now the song.
I will fire two dice down your throat, shake you, fire them at your arse and shout Yahtzee.
That was a preliminary warm-up of the Gannons Golden Games thing.
No, it's not.
And now for the song.
That was the final one.
Gannons Golden Games, Gannons Golden Games, here I am.
There you are, the Gannons Golden Games.
Hello, Paul. Welcome to Gannons Golden Games. Kill me with a gun. are. The Ganon's Golden Games. Hello, Paul. Welcome to Ganon's
Golden Games. Kill me with a gun.
Now, what are we going to do? We're going to play
a game. Yes. And it looks like it's
a lot of fun. I've been talking about on
Ganonland about how some Tiger electronic
games aren't shit. Because you know the consensus is
they're handheld LCD games are shit.
The Sonic the Hedgehog being
the... Did they have a Mr. T
one as well? Yeah, they had MC Hammer.
No, just name a thing from the 80s or 90s,
and I'll tell you if it was a Tiger Electronics game.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?
Yes.
Max Hedrum?
No.
Ah, Blade Runner.
Probably not.
Well, that's one out of three.
Keep on going, see what you get.
ALF.
Yes.
Really?
Yeah.
Do you know that for a fact?
It might not have been Tiger Electronics,
but there was definitely an ALF LCD game. Oh, well, then if not have been Tiger Electronics, but there was definitely an Alf LCD game.
Oh, well, then if it's not Tiger Electronics,
you're not doing very well at this.
No, I'm not.
Let's just stop.
All right.
So a lot of things.
I'm prepared to accept a lot of things from the 80s.
Bubble Dragon, you know, there's lots of Sega licenses.
There was like shoot-em-up games.
We had that on Digitizer.
There's a little Tiger Electronics thing that you folded,
had a little light gun, and you used to fire at the screen.
But am I right in thinking
most of this stuff,
especially the stuff which was Sega,
the LCD games
were, as soon as the Game Boy
came out, they stopped making them, didn't they? No.
Well, that was the thing. The reason why they were successful is because people
might not have been able to afford a Game Boy and
the £20 to £30 carts.
So for £19.99, you can bring
home Double Dragon in your pocket
if you're willing to play
a very shitty version of Double Dragon.
Yeah, like a watch game version of Double Dragon.
But we're judging it by today's standards.
Back in the day,
it was like the argument of saying
we loved rainbow book and tapes
because the videos took years to come out
and some Disney films didn't at all.
So the only time you could experience a Disney film
is through the book and tape.
Well, that's the point I was trying to make.
It's like, at the time they were being manufactured
they were profitable because very profitable there wasn't a lot of handheld gaming they could happen
and also they had all the ips that was the important thing so if you were releasing an
lcd game called ghost hunter and it was a shitty game it could be the exact same shitty game on a
tiger but it's been rebranded as real ghostbusters you know what i mean it's that kind of they have
a real ghostbusters but did they have like a normal ghostbusters one
there was a few lcd ghostbusters games one i think was i think was systema and that was
shit oh systema yeah they make um tupperware boxes now do they yeah i don't know they're
good tupperware all right i'll take your word for it systema spelt like system yeah yeah they
got catches and like rubber linings.
How shit were your fucking LCD games
if you're now famous for making airtight packages?
Top End Tupperware.
Yeah, I like it.
Different colours.
I'm not that Tupperware's a brand name,
so they can't call it that.
Well, it's not Tupperware, it's, you know.
It's Systemware, which sounds more like a PC company.
Oh, it's like, you know.
We are Systemware.
We make the games of the future.
Sandwich tech.
What about...
Shut up.
So...
Pickle holders.
I've mentioned many times...
Shut up.
We've mentioned many times before, like the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire LCD tabletop.
That's quite fun.
The weakest link one I've got.
Funner than the actual game.
And this one, what we're playing with today, based on the PC game You Don't Know Jack, which later became Jackbox.
I just don't have any recollection of it at the time.
No, I don't.
Do you know when we did that Barshens episode and we played a Jackbox game together for the first time?
And it was that murder party game.
With the little horror dolls with slashed eyes.
First experience I ever...
That game had a similar aesthetic to Binding of Isaac, didn't it? In in a way just that little horror what it was little horror cuties yeah horror cutie
sort of ugly doll yeah yeah it's all that and that was a sort of 90s aesthetic was late 90s
well that no that game came out in the late 2010s the point is is that that's a spin-off of the
original thing called you don't know jack which was a PC trivia game that was, you know, wacky trivia.
But that didn't have any little doll characters in it.
No, it was literally just the trivia game.
There was a Flash game of it that you could play in the UK that had Paul Cade as the voice in the UK.
But it was the same kind of irreverent, wacky, madcap trivia.
Reasonably simple questions, but dressed up in a lot of silly ideas.
Yes.
Became a PC game,
was hugely successful.
By, I think, 2008,
they'd sold over $100 million worth of merch,
you know, of games.
Jackbox Games started doing compendiums,
and then that's what everyone plays
on YouTube and stuff now,
and that we did on Barschens,
and we did on Twitch as well.
Okay, but those are DVD games, are they?
No, they're, like, I've got one on the Switch. You can get on Twitch as well. But those are DVD games are they? No they're like I've got
one on the Switch.
You can get it for the
PC console.
There was a DS version
would you believe of
You Don't Know Jack.
And as we both found
out to our surprise a
TV show because the
game came out in 95 and
I only heard about it in
like what 2014 or
something.
But it's sort of could
it be seen as a sort of forerunner
to things like Deal Nor No Deal
or Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
It's tricky.
I don't think it is.
It's too aware of itself.
See, the thing is about Who Wants To Be A Millionaire
is they were the late 90s super quiz shows
that rebranded game shows as a kind of high-tension thing.
Yes.
You know, it was all about the tension.
And this wasn't like that.
No, this was straight into it. And it started as a PC game high tension thing. Yes. You know, it was all about the tension. This wasn't like that. No, this was straight
into. And it started
as a PC game, so it wasn't.
It made the jump to TV only
briefly and then sort of came back. It was more
like an anecdote. Sorry,
what's the word I'm looking for? An antidote.
Antiscient. Opposite of
those like
who want to be a millionaire. Antiseptic?
Waiting out, yeah, antiperspirant.
Antipathony.
Antipodean.
That's down under.
Saucy.
Is it?
I don't know.
Oh, yeah, down under.
It doesn't mean down under.
It just means opposite of where you are on the Earth.
Down under here, Paul.
That's apparently what it means, isn't it?
Antipodean.
To be on the opposite side of the Earth from where you are.
Yes, it does mean the opposite.
It doesn't necessarily mean Australia.
Antithesis is what you're saying.
Thank you.
What a waste of one minute necessarily mean Australia antithesis is what you're saying thank you what a waste of
one minute
to get to antithesis
so
there was a TV show
and it ran for
a couple of episodes
and it starred
Paul Reuben
who was Pee Wee Herman
as the host
and it's a very
faithful TV version
Pee Wee Herman
this is pre-Wanking
in the
I can't remember
when he got called Wanking
it might have been
just before
or just after this
has he done anything
since then?
Yeah.
Like he did two
Pee Wee Herman
movies and he's been
doing a live
successful Broadway
show.
No one minded
that he wanked
in the TV theatre.
He was kind of
set up.
Apparently he was
just there.
Oh, it was a
dirty movie theatre
and he was there.
It wasn't actually
I don't know.
There was no
footage of him
going
No, there was no footage of him saying,
and pulling at his penis like he's trying to pull a carrot out the ground.
Anyway, game successful.
By 1998, Tiger Electronic goes,
I can turn this PC game into a tabletop.
And that's what we've got here.
The tabletop version of You Don't Know Jack.
It's funny though
because they always sort of
seem to be exploring
the sort of in-between
something that's on a PC
or a console
and then something
that's a board game
and you know what I mean?
It's almost like they take
a not complicated
but a high concept format
and they go,
how can this work at home?
Yeah.
So when you think about
what they did to make
Weakest Link
and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire work, it's really, really simple.
But it's effective.
It's cards and codes and buttons.
Can I ask another question?
Yeah.
Did they make that Excellent Price is Right one?
No, that was a Canadian toy company that made that.
I mean, that's beautiful.
I was slightly disappointed that the cards didn't
get read in the machines i thought that slot was like some kind of barcode thing or some kind of
whatever but apart from that was a disappointment but other than that it's that's a great that's
the best way you can play price of is right at home we're still looking for some plinkinto tiles
plinketto tiles someone did offer to 3d print some but i forgot who it was and then i forgot
how to measure and what to measure.
It's basically about the size of a 5P, isn't it?
No, they're smaller.
Smaller.
Oh, no, normal 5Ps.
I can't keep thinking of 5Ps as being the size of 10Ps.
Yeah, no, that was the old days.
I am sweating. Now they're teeny tiny.
I'm sweating my ass off.
So Eli and I are going to play You Don't Know Jack.
Now, this doesn't have a volume setting,
so it's kind of loud apart from when you want it on mic when it's therefore not loud. So we're going to play You Don't Know Jack. Now, this doesn't have a volume setting, so it's kind of loud, apart from when you want it on mic,
when it's therefore not loud.
So we're going to play it,
but it has...
Ah, interesting fact before we get going.
So this is a tabletop version,
similar to the tabletop Weakest Link,
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
Big blue thing, screen for questions,
card slots.
Is the design similar?
Is this actually a template
that they use for all three of the games?
All three what of the games?
Well, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
No, they're all very different.
You've seen them.
The shapes are different.
They're very different.
Okay.
What's wrong with you?
Why don't you remember fucking things?
I don't know.
Who wants to be a millionaire?
It's that great big blue circle plastic thing.
They're all like plastic things.
With the card you slap down the middle.
Slap a card down somewhere.
So this is the same.
You've got a card you put on a slot.
There's a code.
You type it in.
The machine knows that the question's being asked.
Once you've read the question out, you press the reveal push button,
which reveals the answers.
I like the action on that.
And then you have about 20 seconds or so to answer.
Let's have that.
It's a good action.
Do you want to press it?
You press it.
It's nice.
Oh, it's a nice spring.
It's spring-loaded.
Yeah.
Spring-loaded, rather.
So what that means is that everyone can read the question at the same time,
but no one can get ahead of themselves and read the questions first until everyone...
The answers.
Sorry, the answers, yeah.
Once it's revealed, you have a certain time limit for us to buzz in.
And there's a big screw here. Are you going to explain that?
If a question comes up that I don't know...
There's a big screw, everybody, in the middle.
A big plastic screw in the middle of the game.
In between all the game pads.
You can see pictures on our website of what this looks like.
What happens is if I think you can't answer this question,
I'm going to screw you over by buzzing in,
pressing screw, and then pressing your button.
And then the game wants you to answer.
And if you fail, big lose, and I get a bonus.
But if you win, you get a huge bonus.
Cool.
You know, one little note I would have for them,
if they had, instead of the screw,
like a little couple, like a dirty couple having a shag.
Why? It's a kid's game.
Why have you got to ruin it?
Well, what are they going to say?
Why do they say screw, mummy?
What does screw mean?
It's when a man puts his wee-wee in the pootie hole.
Yeah, but you know what?
Screwing is a really derogatory way of saying sex, isn't it?
It's like, I screwed her.
I screwed him.
But that's what it is.
It's a metaphor for screwing, isn't it?
Yeah, you can also say screw.
It's like, fuck you over.
So, okay.
So, yeah.
Right.
So, let's put a model of two people fucking on the middle of this.
Yes.
Hey, when you think the other, you can definitely don't know.
You grab the fuckers and fuck them over with the fuckers.
Beep.
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
Oh, I've come.
Who are you going to fuck over now?
Eli.
Oh, you got, oh, this is painful.
It's a go through.
I'm just saying, I'd like to see, you know, a tasteful little mod of this where there's
a little couple and they go...
Why not put a bone on it then?
Bone? I boned you.
I boned you.
Bone station.
I just boned Eli.
No, it doesn't work.
Oh, but two little plastic figures fucking does.
What about if you had a shag carpet?
I shagged you over.
No, you're just turning it into a set from a 70s porn film.
You should have a banana there instead of a screw.
I'm just going to let you riff until you peter out.
All right, how about this?
Two bollocks.
Can I stop riffing now?
Please stop.
So let's just play the game.
I'm going to turn it on.
There's a bit of talking from the guy.
Who is the guy
from the original PC game?
Oh, but here's my point
that I was going to make
before you fucking
went off on one.
The PC game only allowed
for maximum three players.
The tabletop was the first
to allow for four players
at the same time.
Why?
The PC one,
you'd have to all crowd
around one PC.
Yeah.
Right.
And press the space bar.
But it was popular.
People played together.
It was very popular.
Yeah.
And obviously,
it's a booming industry now.
I think of PC gaming as being a very solitary sort of...
But that's what made Jackbox different
because you could go online and play it with people.
And you could play it with people on their phones
and things like that.
So it didn't really demand much more than you
being on a couch with your phone out.
So shall we get going?
I'm going to try and win.
You're going to be contestant number two.
I'll be contestant number one.
But if you want to screw me over, you buzz in first, then press the screw.
And in this case, because there's only two playing,
it will automatically know I have to go next.
Okay.
All right?
So let's turn it on.
Otherwise, I would have to select who I want to screw over.
Yeah.
Because there's only two.
It's a binary.
It's a binary decision.
Here we go.
Let's turn this on.
Do you think this is the voice of the actual guy?
It is. I just said that.
Two players.
2-1-2-1-2.
I'll read the first one out.
All right.
For 3,000.
Some people believed in Tartar control way back in history.

Given yourself minus three thousand

I'll read this one out.

Yeah.
Keanu Reeves, because they only had men.
Blow!
Well played. They only had men playing and being actors.
Well played.
Use me brain.

You won with 4,000 and I got minus one at the end of that.
Oh, there's one last question, though.
Due to the success of Fraggle Rock,
suppose the Scandinavian
TV network planned
to create a special
for kids called
Ragnarok.
What would be the
show's most likely
subject?
Ebb and tide on flow,
the end of the world,
heavy metal music,
or children's fashion?
End of the world.
End of the world, why?
Because Ragnarok
is the end of the world.
It is the end of the world.
Well played.
Ragnarok and Fraggle Rock.
Fragglerock's Ragnarok.
I like that. Yeah, I'd like to. Ragnarok and Fraggle Rock. Fraggle Rock's Ragnarok. I like that.
I'd like to see that.
Coming soon.
Fraggle Rock.
Hey, everybody.
The world's got a fragging end.
You can't do it.
You do a Fraggle voice then.
Sounds just like mine, you fuck.
So there you go.
What did you think?
I thought that was very fun.
It was a lot of fun.
I like it. And if you play with a few people, family, you that was very fun. It was a lot of fun. I like it.
And if you play with a few people, family, you're all bashing buttons and things.
Yeah, it's cool.
I mean, it is a bit small to get, like, you need a coffee table.
Yeah.
You know, you need some setting up to get everyone comfortably within reach.
But once you get going, it's fun, isn't it?
Yeah.
And, you know, the whole screw option.
I like the questions.
They're slightly cryptic, aren't they?
You have to kind of work out what the question means.
Not fully cryptic, but, yeah, slightly. Well, it's like I said to you before. It's like the questions aren They're slightly cryptic, aren't they? You have to kind of work out what the question means. Not fully cryptic, but yeah, slightly.
Well, it's like I said to you before.
It's like the questions aren't really, not hard.
So it's two levels.
It's the general knowledge of actually knowing what the answer to the actual underlying question is,
but also working out what they're getting at.
Deciphering.
Just in their little trick.
There's a little another level on it.
Yeah.
Which is cool.
It has always been the appeal of Jackbox because it's odd.
Yeah, I liked it a lot.
So there you go. So I enjoyed that. Top top game i got to win you did get to win
and you know what you win for that what uh that that thing we forgot to talk about oh apparently
that's a good game as well yeah let's mention this very briefly to finish off so i went to
poundland the other day just to get some bits and bobs and saw this on the shelf and i thought it
must be a fiver it wasn't it was a quid and it's called fluff it is a dice rolling game and it's like a kind of what what kind of game would you describe it as it's
like a bluffing game it's like a poker game but without cards it's like a dice bluffing game yeah
it's you bid there's only three basic actions you roll and conceal so you roll your dice yeah you
conceal it in the four little pods that they've given yeah nicely made then you calculate and
bid so bid you say how many you're going to win
or something like that.
Well,
no,
it's more like
your bids are actually
what you suggest is in your pods.
So,
you say,
I have three sixes.
And you may or may not.
And I may or may not.
And then if you lose that round,
if you get called out on it,
you're lying,
then you lose a dice,
which means the odds of you getting,
you know what I mean,
are harder.
And you can raise.
And so,
it's similar.
It's a bluff.
Yeah.
It's a game that contains bluffing.
Bluffing.
Which is cool.
I like those kind of games.
And it's a very nice artwork
they've done for it.
It really feels like a game
that you could see
for 20 quid and upwards.
I was surprised
when I only paid a quid for that.
And I noticed
their nice quality,
it's a nice box.
Nicely designed.
Really nice, isn't it?
Got dice, little pods.
And I think a friend of mine who is into games, big into games, got this and said it's really
fun.
It's made by the Bananagrams people and everyone loves Bananagrams.
I like Bananagrams.
It's like high speed Scrabble.
It's fun.
So do you think that this was just not a hit and they sold it cheap?
Maybe.
What was the story of why these end up?
It might be that.
Maybe it's just old, a few years old.
But the thing is, I've been to Poundlands before and seen like Rubik's Cubes official ones going for three quid or five quid sets.
So I thought that would be the same.
It'd be a three or five quid product, but it's a quid.
And maybe they just didn't sell as many.
You know what I mean?
My friend who's into games, he plays this game Dice Quest or something.
Right.
Cube Quest.
Okay.
And it's like a flicky game where you get these dice
and you build a sort of fortress.
You take the first half of the game, you build your dice,
you put them anywhere you like on this flat board you have.
And then you flick them at each other
and try and get it into the zone.
And depending on what side your dice that you flick lands on
does different things, can get captured and taken off
and all of this.
So it's like strategy
where you can build
a big wall for example
to stop them
at the beginning
so there's that strategy bit
but also the sort of
dexterity of the flicky
I'd love to give a go at that
I'd get them to lend it to you
you could do it
on your bloody
YouTube channel mate
while we're talking
about games Paul
it's your channel
wouldn't you like that
on your channel
it's a good game
I would
yeah
I'll talk to him about it
I just don't like you
talking about all the people
on this podcast
I've got that stack
bridge thing
you should put that
on your channel
yeah maybe
I can source shit
for you man
yeah
give me a chance
you're a friend
while we're talking
about games
Paul
yeah
did you know
Rubik's
yeah
and that game
Kensington
yeah
exactly the same font
on the printed material
wow now my life is richer for knowing that fact your life is richer oh my life is Same Kensington. Yeah. Exactly the same font on the printed material. Wow.
Now my life is richer for knowing that fact.
Your life is richer.
Oh, my life is going to explode like a rainbow.
All right, no.
Oh, the thoughts I have.
No one likes a sarcastic nanny.
The dreams I can choose from.
The life I can live for thanking you for that fact.
Good, I'm glad.
My life has become
a crossroads. He's doing something with his nipples, guys.
He's rubbing them. A simple crossroads.
He's rubbing his breasts. A choice that I must make.
Do I go left? Do I go right? Do I go
back? Or... I think he should leave.
All I know is that
that simple fact
was... Is this Bill Donut singing?
This is me singing my love ballad to
myself called I Have a Choice Now.
I have a choice now.
Stop it, could you really?
It's really putting me off
the way you were sort of massaging your tits there.
Tit, tit, lemonade, round the corner,
chocolate's made.
There you go, that's the end of the segment.
And we're back.
It's an Avagannon Golden Guy.
It is.
And we're going to play a game
that I've only just realised
that I did on Digitizer with Biffo.
So we're going to do it on Cheap Show anyway, because I found this cheap online.
That was the other thing as well.
Don't know Jack, it wasn't exactly cheap, but it was $15, but the postage and packaging was quite expensive.
Because it's an American thing.
On the other side of that equation, Paul, the pound is quite strong against the dollar at the moment, isn't it?
I guess it is, as of recording.
So this other one I got
as well on sale on Amazon. It was usually about
15 quid. It was now five, so it was on
sale. This is called Game Off.
The head-to-head party game
for dastards. What's a dastard?
I don't know. Dastardly.
Must be of ill behaviour.
Yeah, but bastard, we know, is a
fatherless child. No. Why, is a fatherless child.
No.
Why is Paul a fatherless child?
Oh, hang on, yeah.
Yeah, I mean,
I don't know what they're doing
with technology.
I think you can...
I've done a canonism.
Yeah, hang on.
What was the question
I was going to ask it?
Who is the fatherless child?
I am the fatherless child.
That sounds like a song, isn't it?
I float through the cosmos.
I am the fatherless child. Oh sounds like a song, isn't it? I float through the cosmos. I am the fatherless child. Oh, good.
With Dada,
I search the cosmos for Dada.
But you are fatherless. But I am the fatherless
child. Do you know what?
Yes. You could be
a baddie in the
Queefuffer universe. We're moving on.
I knew that would stop him.
Didn't I, everybody?
Mention of Queefuffer is not a're moving on. I knew that would stop him. It did. Good night, everybody. That stopped him.
Mention of Queef Huffer is not a toxic franchise.
It is the green lantern
of the cheap show franchises.
Dastard,
a dishonorable
or despicable man.
Oh, you dastard.
Dastard bastard.
Dastard bastard.
Dastard bastard.
I'm dastard bastard
and I would like
a cake with custard.
That doesn't rhyme, does it?
I liked it.
I only just imagined that.
I liked it.
It's good.
So anyway, there are a pile of cards, five piles ahead of us.
And one is skill, one is courage, one is body, one of mind, one of luck.
And each card has a challenge on or a question.
We go head to head.
Game off is what it's called.
I said that.
In case anyone had mentioned that.
I didn't hear it.
Oh, and that one pound game was called Fl fluff and they've tried and make we're on
fire today but going to the fluff thing paul i've been fluffed that's what they do they make a cheap
gag perhaps that's why i sold it for a quid because it's like looks like a kid's game but
then it's like i'll fluff you off who needs fluffing i need a right hardener before i can
do this and all the characters are um animals fluff me. It's got a bit of a furby,
furby?
Furry stuff to it.
I do owl porn.
Fluff me off.
Oh, I'm going to fucking...
I do owls, yeah, for money.
I do owls.
But I only like sparrows,
so they have to put a fluffy sparrow in
to fluff me off.
Mate, mate, mate.
Here's a question for you.
Do you do pigeon work?
I do heavy pigeon work.
What about, what about... Hang on, hang on. I don't know how you feel about this. How do pigeon work? I do heavy pigeon work. What about,
what about,
hang on,
hang on,
I've got,
I don't know how you feel about this.
How do I feel?
Robin Redbreast.
Now you've got me all fucking,
oh,
I've got fizzy little droplets.
Would you fuck a duck for a quid?
Yes.
Right.
Anyway,
that's fluff,
one pound,
pound land.
So,
each card category
is a different type of challenge.
Luck is kind of, it could be an instant win on that.
It could be.
Luck is luck.
Luck is luck.
Mind is that kind of mental.
Mind is a mind.
It's your mind.
It's a mental sort of thing.
Yeah, I know.
Body.
What does that refer to, Paul?
It's probably an activity challenge.
That's physical or body.
Courage.
That's what you have to say.
I fuck a dog or something.
Yeah.
Oh, confess. I fuck dogs. I used to fuck dogs a lot. Pigeons, sparrows, ducks. I fuck them all's what you have to say. I fuck a dog or something. Yeah. Oh, confess.
I fuck dogs.
I used to fuck dogs a lot.
Pigeons, sparrows, ducks.
I fuck them all.
I do it for money.
They call me the Dr. Dolittle of fuckbeasts.
I bet that person exists, you see.
We're a bit on the nose with this.
There must be people who do animal porn.
Do you think there's a man out there who does animal porn called Dr. Do-Everything?
What do you do?
Everything.
Oh, that reminded me.
Your punnery has reminded me me Your punnery has reminded me
Your punnery has reminded me
Imagine this as a cooking show thing
You know you've got horses for courses
Yeah
Sources for courses
I thought you were going to recommend
The show where people use horse meat
To make meals
No that'd be good
It would be
What's wrong with horse meat?
I don't know
People ate it in this country for years
When it was in bird's eye burgers
Yeah
It's only if you sneak it into a burger
That you claim is cow
Yeah
But people eat Yeah Horse You know what I mean? They eat horses don't they? I wouldn't mind if they said and it was in Bird's Eye Burgers. Yeah. It's only if you sneak it into a burger that you claim is cow. Yeah.
But people eat horse.
You know what I mean?
They eat horses, don't they?
I wouldn't mind if they said,
like, horse-cow mix burgers.
I'd eat those.
Yeah?
You'd eat anything, though.
I wouldn't.
You'd eat last week's Donner meat.
No, I would not.
You would.
Naughty boy.
So, skill.
So, should we just crack on?
The idea is... Skill is what?
Skill is a disease in a fish's arsehole. Do you remember that? Yes. is what? Skill is a disease in a fish's arsehole.
Do you remember that?
Yes.
Do you remember skill is a disease in a fish's arsehole?
I don't remember that, but you're...
You don't remember that?
No.
Stop.
When I was at school, people used to say skill, that was skill.
You remember that?
That was mad skill.
That was skill.
I was skill.
Top skill.
To say I did that well.
Yeah.
It sort of was a synonym for that.
Top skill.
Did they say top skill?
I don't know.
In the 70s, they went, that's right, gear.
Yeah.
Didn't they?
I thought I'd go back.
That was groovy.
Yeah.
Anyway, I like those words.
Skill, groovy, gear.
Right.
And you'd have, if someone said, oh, that was skill, I'm skill.
Our school used to call fannies, mott.
And I never understood that.
She had a hairy mott.
I don't understand that.
I like it.
Anyway, moving on.
We used to say, I'd say, oh, you know, I'd get a piece of paper into a waste paper basket.
Yeah, that was skill.
That was skill.
And they'd go, skill is a disease in a goldfish's arsehole.
I've never heard that.
Skill is, in fact, a disease that fish suffer from.
Oh, well, there you go.
Now I know.
I've got a nasty case of scabby skill.
We'll do five rounds, and the winner of the five rounds is the one with the most cards
who wins them.
All right?
You could just cut that down
and say the winner
is you, Eli.
It might be.
The winner will be you.
It might be.
I'm going to fucking
double header
this Ganon Goldens games
and put it to rest.
Do you want to play
the first card then?
What do I have to do?
Pick a category.
Luck.
All right, pick the card then.
What does it say?
What do you mean pick it?
Take the top card and say what it says. Take it? Yes. I've picked it, now I take it. Luck. Right, pick the card then. What does it say? What do you mean pick it? Take the top card and say what it says.
Take it?
Yes.
I've picked it, now I take it.
Oh, mate, don't be a dickhead.
You know what I mean.
Ah-ha-ha!
Now what do I do?
Fuck me.
Read the card and then we see who wins.
No, just a word or two.
I picked this card, it's luck, everybody, that I've picked.
Odds off.
You, brackets, the roller.
What do I mean roller? Whoever's picked the card, doesn't matter. We're not, the roller. What do I mean roll?
Whoever's picked the card
doesn't matter.
We're not using the dice
because if you use the dice
if there are more than
two people playing.
Well, I don't understand.
Don't worry about it.
You, the roller, me,
must roll the normal dice again.
Why not rolling dice?
You haven't got dice,
have you?
It comes with dice.
All right, so I have to
roll the dice.
When you're playing
with more than two people
you've used the dice to roll
to see which number
of people it is. It's not. You're just being a dickhead. I know. I love it. When you're playing with more than two people, you've used the dice to roll to see which number the people are using.
It's not.
You're just being a dickhead.
I know.
I love it.
Roll it in here.
This game is gold.
Finish reading the card
so I know what the stakes are.
I must roll the normal dice again.
Odds you win,
even opponent wins.
That's it.
There you go.
So roll it.
So I'm trying to get odds.
An odd number.
So one, three, or five.
Give me a one, three, or five, baby.
Go.
Five.
So you lost or won?
I win.
So you win that card.
Eli wins on luck.
I like that.
My go.
I'm going to go with courage.
See what courage says.
Here's courage.
Reveal your penises.
Whichever one looks great is the winner.
Shall I win this one, Eli?
Paul, that's a very low and mean-spirited attempt at humour.
And I'm not going to stand for it anymore.
Read the fucking card.
All right, here we go.
Torture Off.
Using your phone microphone, no, using your phone microphone,
record yourself singing a snippet of a song.
This will be played on a loop to your opponent for eternity,
should they ever end up going to hell.
Judges vote for the underground's newest sound.
I'm not doing that card.
This game is not looking good, man. It's not looking good on that card.
We've had minus fun from that card.
Heckle off.
In turns, players must stand up in front of the group
and introduce themselves by saying,
Hello, everyone.
My name is blank.
During this moment,
the opponent must interrupt them with a damning heckle.
All right.
The group vote for the heckle with the most metal.
So you get up and do that. Don't get up. You don't have to do it. No, Connor. And then I with the most metal. You get up and do it.
Don't get up.
I'll heckle you and then I'll do it
and then you heckle me and then we'll see which one did the best
heckle. Do you want to go first or shall I?
I'll go first.
You heckle me. Hello everyone. My name is
Paul Gannon. What? I'm in a heckle now?
You've got to say something heckling.
Do it again. Hello everyone.
My name is Paul Gannon. Cunts!
Not funny. Yeah. Do it again. Hello, everyone. My name is Paul Gannon. Cunts! Not funny.
All right.
God, that was terrible.
Your go.
All right.
Is this thing on?
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
You're either doing bad stand-up as Jack Douglas or you're killing time.
Why are you thinking? All you've got to do is say your name. I'm doing my little bad stand-up as Jack Douglas or you're killing time. Why are you thinking?
All you've got to do is say your name.
I'm doing my little persona set-up.
Walk on stage.
Who is this guy?
Who is...
Hello.
Come back.
What are you doing?
Come earlier.
Sorry.
All you've got to say is a sentence.
Come on.
Is it hello everybody?
Is that the second word?
Hello everyone.
Mate, stop.

I know you're a DJ. Alright, get him out.
I'm friends with the bouncer
at least because I used to DJ
here, mate. And me
and the bouncer used to do lines behind
the decks together, right? This is
council culture.
You win. Do you win? I win
that card. I'll let you have that card.
What do you want to do now we've got we have the mind

Oh, that's it.
Yeah, did I stutter?
Oh, that's right.
Flock of seagulls, bang, bang.
Got it.
I'm all got it now.
That's the whole scene, isn't it?
Where they break into the guy and it's like-
Flock of seagulls?
Yeah, because the guy's got the hair cut like the fox.
Does he mention flock of seagulls in Pulp Fiction?
Yeah.
Oh, he says, you take flock of seagulls and I'll take-
Something I don't remember.
Duran Duran.
And then he says something about retribution and reads the Bible out
and everyone goes,
best scene ever.
Imagine you are female
black widow spiders.
Right.
Now.
Yes.
Get ready to find a mate.
Right.
Who will be your next meal?
Out of everyone in the world,
who would you choose
to fuck and then eat?
That's the question.
Judges vote for their
preferred victim.
So I have to pick someone I'd like to fuck and eat. So I'll come to you, Mr. Gannon. Who would you choose to fuck and then eat? That's the question. Judges vote for their preferred victim. So I have to pick someone I'd like to
fuck and eat. I'll come to you, Mr. Gannon.
Who would you, out of everyone
in the world, fuck and then eat?
You do a little jiggle jiggle
and then you do a little munchy munchies.
I think no matter how I answer this,
it's going to be problematic.
So I'm just going to say
Drew Barrymore. Drew Barrymore. Do you have to
kill him afterwards?
Or do you sort of fuck him, they die, and then you wait?
Mate, I don't like this question.
How about this, Paul? Yeah.
You fuck Drew Barrymore.
I hope she never hears this.
Dream come true.
Yeah.
It's a wonderful date.
Yeah.
You know, a little meal, a little bit of wine, maybe some dancing.
Yeah.
And a really great sexual experience for both.
Yeah.
Then you wait until she dies 20, 30 years down the line. Yeah. And a really great sexual experience for both. Yeah. Then you wait
until she dies
20, 30 years down the line
happily.
Okay, yeah.
You just go and just...
Do you want that?
Yeah.
Are you using that?
You creep into the morgue.
It's just, I made a...
Creep into the morgue
and just tastefully
shave a little
fleck of her skin off.
Nibble, nibble.
Put it on your thing.
That is...
Dead through Barrymore skin.
Yeah.
And then I've done it.
And it's not, no one would really, she's dead already.
You fucked her everywhere.
It was completely consensual between you and Barrymore.
Yeah, it was all above board.
Imagine Michael Barrymore was there.
Mate.
I'm stopping that.
I'm just thinking of you, Michael Barry, watching you and Drew Barrymore fucking check.
You're really going for it.
What, and he's at the back saying, all right?
Basically, yeah.
All right, do I have to pick someone now?
No, you have to pick someone who you'd have sex with, then eat.
The reasons being is, like, you could say, oh, I'll get someone portly.
Like, I'll fuck Jack Black.
Because at least you have a proper meal afterwards.
You know?
Or a wrestler.
Because that's probably good marbled meat.
What about, like, just a...
Depends on what kind of meal you're working for.
A giant gummy bear designed with a slot.
You'd fuck a giant gummy bear.
And you'd have to eat the spunk that you left inside it.
I could work my way up to it.
It's like those chewy Sensa Haribo.
I could work my way up.
We're talking big.
Life-sized, like, human-sized bear. Well, that's not that big for you, is it? It's like those chewy Sensa Haribo. I could work my way up. We're talking big. Life size, like human size bear.
Well, that's not that big for you, is it?
It's like just a slightly bigger than average jelly belly that you could just fuck.
Jelly belly?
You could fuck a jelly belly.
I don't want to.
Well, it says someone.
It has to be a person.
I guess Blobby.
You could have sex with Mr. Blobby.
Who says that my life size jelly fuck bear isn't someone?
Who gets to decide that? They someone to me oh mate don't
even try and ring you know what teddy i call him teddy wobbly teddy you win the card because i
can't bear having this conversation keep going yeah i'll give him a whole backstory right my
turn to pick a card uh let's go with skill skill here we go oh come. It's a disease up a fish's ass.
I don't know if we can do this one,
but we've got paper and a pen,
so we can take turns.
Yeah, let's do it.
It's called Nude Off.
Using imagination,
you must both draw a nude portrait of your opponent.
This is also a race.
When either person shouts nipples,
drawing time is over,
and the work will be presented to the judges for critique.
Do you want to draw a nude person of me?
Yes.
And you have to do one at the same time. then we say nipples we can do what they said
no how about this we'll time each other 10 seconds to draw it each all right so we can both use the
pen and the paper right but we'll have but we'll cover it so i won't see so let me just set it for
10 seconds on me on me thing 10 is that gonna be enough yeah because it has to be it has to be
scrawled and quick let me get my timer out you ready yep 10 seconds starting now draw me nude he's off he's drawing a little stick man
and he's got five seconds left and uh i don't know what he's done there but it looks like i'm
wearing shallots and that's it time is over right cover it up right i'm gonna draw my one now how
long do you get 10 10 seconds. Ready? Just say when.
Go.
Five seconds.
Six seconds.
Nine seconds.
And
10 seconds.
Drawn it.
Right,
show me what you got.
There you go.
I think it's quite realistic.
So he's drawn a stick man
with what looks like cowboy trousers on underneath.
I don't know what that is.
It looks like you've given me big chaps.
Yeah.
You've got some chaps there.
All right, describe what...
What's this though there, Paul?
It's a small penis.
You've got flesh chaps is what I reckon.
I've got big fleshy thighs.
That's what I've always imagined you having.
Huge, weird, thick, chap-like flesh thighs.
And a, I don't know... A little nubble.'t know a little nubble a little nubble
well scratchy scratchy scratchy pictures will be upon our website here's here's your one i look
like fucking a humpty dumpty i'm an egg man with a larger prick than i've drawn yours
that'd be quite flattering it's almost twice it's quite some girth on it no that's very realistic
i think that should win.
You get the card.
It does.
Be fair.
I don't like play schools.
That's good.
You've got an actual likeness of me.
I don't know.
Mine, you know.
You're expressionistic.
You were going with how you felt emotionally, how I looked.
Get that on a t-shirt, mate.
We're putting that on a t-shirt.
I win that card.
Yes, you win that card.
Right.
Next card.
We haven't had body, have we?
No, we haven't had body.
This will be the
last card.
Brow off.
Brow off.
Who can
manipulate their
eyebrows in the
most comely
fashion?
Let's do
something that's
a bit more
good for
podcast.
Oh, look,
see, I got it
right in the
box.
Nice throw.
Do body again.
We'll just look
for one that's a
bit more...
Stifle off.
Stifle off.
You are at a
dinner party
surrounded by
beautiful guests.
Oh, yes.
So attractive, in fact, that you get carried away and accidentally orgasm.
That doesn't say that.
It does.
You must recreate this moment of coming in public at a dinner party with the top guests, mate.
How does this even happen?
Oh, it's my big day.
Well, shh.
Don't give away your top lines here.
All right, okay.
You must each recreate this moment,
trying to stifle or disguise your act.
Judges vote for the most petit mort.
The most what?
Petit mort is little death in French,
meaning orgasm,
but it's quite witty.
Quite witty.
It also means little.
The most small orgasm.
So I have to play out a scene now
where I'm in a party and I come
and how do I cover it up? Yes.
Right, okay, so I'll do my first scene. A dinner party?
I'll do it. I didn't know, but I'm a guest.
I'm a guest at the party. In that case, I'll be
the guest. You're trying to come and not let
me know about it. Wait.
And then we'll reverse roll.
We're both reverse rolls after this,
alright, so I'm going to go first. Just checking
the parameters. Here we go. Oh, do
you sit down, Geoffrey? Just call me Paul. Oh. Right, go first. Just checking the parameters. Here we go. Oh, do sit down, Jeffrey.
Just call me Paul.
Oh.
Right, wait.
Let me start the scene.
Who am I then?
Who am I?
Don't care.
Just let me start.
Ready?
Yes.
Hands off the table.
Stop making noise.
Just fucking stop.
Everything.
Okay.
Oh, I can't wait.
It's the big day.
I'm in this party.
Oh, I've been invited by the queen. That's great. Oh, look. Oh, God. Everyone's so beautiful. Oh, God.'t wait. It's the big day. I'm in this party. I've been invited by the Queen. That's great.
Oh, look. Oh, God, everyone's so beautiful.
Oh, God, she's hot. Oh, God, look at him with his big...
Oh, look at that. Look at him.
Excuse me, young man.
Oh, yeah, love. How are you?
Very good, thank you. It's nice to see you again.
It's good to see you too.
Geoffrey, wasn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah?
No, Paul.
Oh, maybe I was thinking of someone else.

Bye.
Goodbye, everybody.
Bye-bye, boys and girls.
Goodbye, everybody.
Ruff Ruff Ruff.
Tiddly pumpty tumpty.
You don't have to keep up with the pretense with me, Bill.
Yeah, I know.
I'm just keeping an eye out, just in case.
Gotta keep up the fucking pretenses, mate.
Well, you wouldn't be singing, would you, in a car park, Ruff Ruff? Listen, they'll be here soon.
Well, I hope they are, because...
You know, I'm trying to rebuild my image, Ruff Ruff.
I won't do to be out in a car park making some kind of deal, but...
When did they say they'd be here?
If this deal goes down, we'll be walking away with millions and millions of quid.
I know, I know.
One more deal.
Listen, whose contact is this?
I know.
I want it to go right.
I'm using the cheap show pods as my lab to make this lovely, lovely bottle of squodge?
What do you call it? Squodge?
Squodge.
And you're saying it's stronger than everything on the market?
It throws you into a trance so deep you transcend all experiences of reality.
And you tested it on Larry?
Well, Larry unwittingly tested it.
What do you mean, unwittingly? What?
Well, he didn't... 20? Well, he didn't know.
We need 20 vials.
I said to the Hairy brothers that we'd have 20 vials of the top squad.
And I made 20 vials, didn't I?
Good.
20 vials, 40 million quid.
Yeah, 40 million.
20 each.
That's what they're bringing, 40 million quid.
So we've got 20 vials.
I don't need to do the maths.
Right.
Well, I don't know, Bill.
You're the money man.
I just supply the drugs.
I knew you when you were doing the clubs.
They also used to know me
as the lab man, cooking away me
little drugs. Yes, you were.
I had the whole of London in me hand until you walked in
and you undercut me.
You were London's premier criminal
chemist and you
came up with some doozies back in the day.
And now I'm back on the scene.
Well, we hope so.
This is what I've sold it on to the Hairy Brothers.
My contact.
I need to flip this quickly.
Yeah.
And then get back into established businesses.
This isn't really the look I'm going for, Bill.
Listen, we have got a little bit of a problem, and I need you to cover me, all right?
What?
So, I made the 20 jars,
the 20 vials. 20 vials, 10
millilitres each? Of squodge. Of squodge?
And, er, unfortunately,
because the instrument had a little bit of a taste
for it, he managed to polish off about
ten of them.
I don't need you to be telling
me this right now.
Do you know? Do you know,
Bill, who the Hairy Brothers are? Ruff, ruff. Mate, mate, by the time we... Do you know? Do you know, Bill, who the Hairy Brothers are?
Ruff Ruff?
Do you know who they are?
They're not the little two-bit
operators when you
went away. They may have been
just a nasty couple of two-bit
operators, but they've grown.
Oh, Ruff Ruff.
They have grown.
They've grown up and they have fingers in every single pie and dirty hole around this whole town.
I know.
Every single manor.
Mate.
They will chop us to pieces.
Listen, I've just done time, Ruff Ruff.
I don't want to be going straight back in.
Look, I've...
What are we going to do?
I've smelt worth it.
I've said 20 vials.
Don't you worry.
By the time we've made the exchange, we'll be out of here.
We'll be out of here before they even know they've been sold a duff box of crap.
Right, okay.
So we're going to try and rip off the top criminals of the underworld.
Ruff off.
No, that's fine.
Calm down.
It's fine.
Listen to this.
Listen.
The top ten jars.
Right.
They're full of the good stuff.
That's what they're going to taste, right?
Top spodge.
That's what they're going to taste. The bottom ten squodge. That's what they're going to taste.
The bottom ten.
Squodge.
Well, I had to milk Ingeman.
What?
I milked him.
So there's probably a bit of residue squodge in his squidge.
Right.
But it looks the same.
You've filled them with spunk.
It does look well.
I've filled them with Larry's Ingeman spunk.
No difference.
Right.
It'll just have to do.
And, mate, you never had to milk him.
Every time he cried inch, I tugged him.
Right.
Inch, tug, inch, tug.
Four hours until I filled those ten jars.
You filled them.
Don't you worry.
The point is you filled them.
Don't worry.
I know my arse is on the line.
But listen, we make the exchange, we get the fuck out of here.
Before they know they've been slurping down spunk, we'll be in Costa Rica.
You may be in Costa Rica.
I'm going to re-establish my business. The covers, I'll do the talking.
They're pulling up now.
All right there.
Hello, I am Hans Harry.

Oh, yes, that's me. I am Palms Harry. Can I zip him apart yet, brother?
All right, listen, listen, Palm, calm down, right?
Listen, you calm that little shit of yours down. We're going to do a deal and I don't want any loose cannons ruining my fucking deal.
Bill, you haven't been on the scene for a while. You're still a little small fry in my tank.
All right, Hans.
And I'll take the aquarium and I'll fucking put a little one of those filters in and it will all bubble up, all right. You hear what I'm saying? You know, that's not much of a threat. That's just nice
aquarium quality. Listen, I've got, look, Mr. Brandoff, is he going to be a problem?
No, no, no, no. Bill, Bill, just shut up. Give us the vials, Bill. Listen, as agreed,
20 vials of squodge. Good squodge. That's lovely stuff. I don't know if you want to
taste a bit of the merchandise. I don't. I never taste the merchandise, Bill. Good, Squatch. That's lovely stuff. So, I don't know if you want to taste a bit of the merchandise. I don't.
I never taste the merchandise, Bill.
Listen, you've been out of the game for too long.
What are you?
Some kind of aquarium salesman now?
Oh, don't you come to my door giving me all that.
Well, if you fucking remember...
Right then.
The Airy Brothers, it's only Palms Airy who tastes the goods.
Oh, yeah, I taste the goods.
I taste the...
There you go, Palms there.
I'm opening the jar now.
Open it up.
Yes.
Oh, I don't know what this is.
Of course, it smells like palms.
Is it good stuff?
It smells like sizzle.
Like sizzle?
Sizzle.

Let me taste it.
Rub it in.

Here you go.
Well, Bill, looks like you're back up to speed,
and I look forward to doing business with you.
Brando, just get into the car with the suitcase, would you, mate?
I think I might have a little try.
No, you're driving.
Well, no, look.
No, no, you're driving.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
I might have a little try myself this time.
No, don't take one.
Listen, don't come the big haddock with me, Bill.
I'm going to fucking try this.
Now, palms, was it good?
It was a good shit.
I can see everything.
You can see through time and stuff?
Everything.
Can you see the minutiae of the infinite in every grain of wood?
Oh, I see Pamela Anderson.
Good, it's good then. Shall I try a bit?
Oh, you take some now.
Okay, no, don't. Just take...
