CheapShow - Ep 228: Aural Dadaist Nightmare
Episode Date: April 30, 2021It takes a brave person to even attempt to bring back the "Cut Price Life Hacks" segment, it's takes an imbecile to try and cram it into a Gannon's Golden Games, but that's what Paul has done this wee...k, and he may live to regret it. Elsewhere in the podcast, Eli is on a sauce and noodle mission and he is sick and tired of Paul's constant harassment, so he is taking it to HR. Again. In retaliation, Paul also goes to see the management... They may be losing their minds. Will an underwhelming Country Urban Noodle Testlab Kitchen segment make things all better? The answer is no. Not at all! Join us for another bargain basement podcast adventure! Share & Enjoy.

this time of year.
Do you know what that infers? What?
Sometimes it's liquid. It's a
built-up mountain of clothes you've not
cleaned in ages. It has a special
physics. It's sort of in between a liquid and a
solid. It acts like a solid. It's like
corn flour. Yes. So it's wet when you
pick it up, but if you hit it with a hammer,'s hard very rock hard rock hard ladies and gentlemen welcome to cheap
welcome everybody to cheap show the economy comedy podcast where sometimes we look for the bargain
bins the charity shops and power lands of great britain and find the treasure amongst the trash
on that very subject paul what do you think of my new lunchbox? Got it for a quid. It's a little plastic shit.
It says bang on it and stuff, like cartoon.
Yeah, lots of onomatopoeia.
Look at the, got two sections there.
You've got a pickle section and a raisin section.
Or you could have olives in there and maybe some jam.
You like jam, don't you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The jam report was a big hit last week.
It's not a jam report.
It's jam action news.
Action jam news was a big...
Is it back?
No, I haven't got any news.
Well, I've already mentioned sources.
Where's your jam news now?
Mate, my jam news...
It's a reactionary bullshit.
It's all going to fall through.
My jam news is...
Think of it as more like a kind of...
It's more cultured.
It builds its news up
and then gives you a great big dollop of jam
at the end of it.
Dollop of jam?
Because some people can wear their ideas out
by constant repetition of a very boring subject. Where with with jam i like to sit on it for a bit
let it culture to sit on jam yeah i like to sit on your bum some of it
and then is that your special one it's fucking uncle grumbly all over again
now look at the sandwich department on my new fucking lunchbox. This is actually our worst beginning.
You say that every week, mate.
Every week.
I think that stuff about my gloopy piss is gold.
I mean, it looks gold.

Paul Gannon
Eli Silverman
Welcome to Cheat Show.
And a go and a nuzzle.
Hello, it's another week inside the House of Pickles.
Paul, before we get started, would you like a moist towelette or wet wipe?
Why? Why would I need one?
I've got some.
I know.
In case you wanted to just sort of...
Clean the area.
Clean your area.
No, can I go back to the original point?
Ha, ha, ha, spunk.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
But why is there 20p stuck to your table?
I don't know.
What do you mean you don't know?
I cleared off the table ready for our recording session today
and I was going,
whoo, whoo, cleany, cleany.
Oh, wonder what's scared.
And then it was like, oh oh that'll come off
oh
oh
it won't come off
oh
oh
oh
oh god
what am I gonna do
I'll have to make up
some
some story about it
being there forever
and Paul
he's got
memory for shit
after all the skunk
he constantly smokes
so
he won't know
and will he know
he won't know
just tell him
he's stuck there
spunk
it is it's gloopy. Spunk. It is.
Scoopy.
Oh, there's a drill.
Do you remember the early days of this podcast
when we said sentences and talked?
I can talk about...
You're giving me nothing here, Paul.
I asked you if you ever wanted a towel, mate.
I asked you a question about why a 20 pp's were stuck to your table
and then you went off on a two-minute fucking
Alice in wonderlandian
rant around the fucking nonsense village in your brain oh only if only you could see inside the
nonsense village in my brain i don't want to it's like i can imagine it's like port mary and covered
in shit paul this is from hallow restaurant probably the best of the turkish sort of big
ones around here mate i don't. I've got one here.
It's from Haller as well, but it's a different design.
You can see the evolution of Haller's moist towelette.
It's still fresh.
If I open this, is it lemony-scented?
Yes.
Are they all lemony-scented?
Then I've seen it all before.
Not interested.
Take your wet wipes and get out of town.
What's coming up on the show today Paul

I'll do it when there's
good jam news

I didn't ever say that
24 hour
I never said that
you need representation
it's action jam news
it's representation it's action jam news it's like
breaking news

it only comes in
when there's news
to break
no big source
is going to
re-exert itself
no but big source
is like a rolling
news
I represent
big source
and big source
is going to
represent itself
yeah well

I represent
jam enterprises
and I'll be
making sure
that there are
checks and balances
who's behind this
Paul

Of what's going on
In the show Paul
You said something about noodles
I said something about jam
What happened Doesn't matter, we can move on
what else have we got coming up?
we also have a
so what is it
when like a restaurant does a
like Tex-Mex or like
think of this, the next section is
a fusion segment
where we take a Ganon's Golden Games
but we add it to a segment
we've not done in a while
which is cut price life hacks.
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
That one.
Have you got any life hacks hanging around?
Mate, we've got a whole game full of them
and you'll be guessing
which is the correct one
and which are the fake life hacks.
Didn't we do that already?
And it was utter shit.
No.
Utter, utter shit it was.
No, we did a news titles one
where it was like,
is this a real...
Oh yeah, it was that one.
This is a real headline.
And it's like,
Seven die in a plane crash.
You think, true.
Then the next one is,
Uncle Wibblywob's chicken house
burnt down.
Ooh, a donkey
floated over Queen Mary's
heliphant.
Heliphant?
It's a floaty heliphant.
Oh, look, it's the heliphant.

And in the top 100 in the comedy charts.
We never go.
We never bother it.
No.
It's not because of my visor, though, is it?
It's part of the problem.
My jaunty visor.
It's part of the systemic problem with this podcast.
Oh, God.
Don't start.
Because it's basically a systemic problem with our own
existence. Mental health.
Yeah, that's probably a big chunk of it.
Big factor.
Big factor. I can't get away
from the heffalump in the sky with its
feathery wings. I just want to do a podcast,
mate, please. Fine, do it.

Mark Allen's show?
You like the visor?
Have you still got that
Mark Allen's thing?
Oh, the sexotard.
Yeah, have you still got that?
I will never wear that again.
I saw a photograph
of myself in it
and I thought,
that is literally
the opposite of flattering
for my body type.
Yeah, it is, isn't it?
But that's why Mark made you wear it.
My penis was on view.
Mate, your penis.
My knobby.
Your penis was like, you know when you see a horror film,

Why do I always start getting wet or face wet when I do this podcast?
No, it's more like gloopy face wet, pissy face wet.

Oh, here we go.

Okay, Paul, it's noodle time now.
Let's take this seriously.
Come on.
We've got noodles.
I'm going to test these noodles.
We've got noodles coming out the wazoo.
You're in the house of pickles.
You're bedded in.
You're looking at the sauces.
You're looking at that scotch bonnet jam
that's homemade that no one's ever going to eat.
I can already smell the tangent.
Smell the tangent. That's ever going to eat. I can already smell the tangent. Smell the tangent.
That's a great album name.
Now, smell my tangent.
Mate, I'm in your room.
All I can smell is your tangents.
Okay.
And it's very tangent.
Very tangible, is it?
Yeah, tangible.
It's a tangible whiff of tangent.
Right.
It's noodle time.
The kitchen is across from the House of Pickles.
Chanel number two.
What do you mean, Chanel number two?
Think about it.
Like BBC two, like Chanel perfume, Chanel number two.
The odour of shit, mate.
Oh, you got that from fucking something else, didn't you?
Yeah.
Can you remember the sauce?
Yeah.
What was it?
Hot sauce and Kona. What are you talking sauce? Yeah. What was it? Hot sauce.
And Kona.
What are you talking about?
Oh, I'm not allowed to be random, am I?
Oh no, Eli can go
Bibble Bobble.
It's always Bibble Bobble!
Why is it Bibble Bobble?
Come on,
say something nonsense
that isn't Bibble Bobble.
For ten seconds.
Hinger dot dot dot.
Hinger dot.
Oh look,
he's doing his Scandi thing.
I'm sick of it.
You've got a repertoire
of literally about four basic noise types that you fucking do.
One of them is oity-toity-toit, which you just did.
Oity-toity-toit.
Dinky-donky-doity-toit.
And then it's, when you're mocking it, it's Bibble-bop.
It's not Bibble-bop.
I do not ever go, ooh, Bibble-bopple, Bibble-bopple.
I say things like, Radney, Radney Jareth.
You could easily do me. Just say Radney Jareth You could easily do me Just say Radney Jareth
Or something like that
Mahogany Jareth
Now it's noodle time Paul
I love a noodle
You quite like a noodle
We're looking at some noodles now
So what's going to happen
Is I'm going to introduce the noodles
And then I'm going to prepare them
And then we're going to have a quick taste
Are you okay with that?
Grafton Hong Plock.
Yeah.
Come on.
If you wrote Grafton Hong Plock and I wrote McGlably Sheesh, who's, you know.
What is this podcast about anymore?
They'd be able to tell who said it.
It's not about anything.
Do you know what, Paul?
Nothing is about anything. When you look what, Paul? Nothing is about anything.
When you look under,
when you look under the meaning carpet,
there's all non-meaning under there
and it's a whole ocean of it
and it's just a thin membrane of meaning
on top of the ocean and non-meaning.
No, I was, right, so,
I was closing my eyes then when you were speaking to me
and I had your voice coming in directly to my ears
and all of a sudden,
I felt like I was listening to a fucking demented self-help tape
i started freaking out i'm going for right whoa that's what i'm going for i had to stop that okay
paul a nice looking noodle here this is an exciting noodle this is not a noodle but it is an instant
pasta product now we were sent three noodles by one person in the PO box. I'm not sure who it was now because various boring reasons.
I lost the note.
So I think it might be Stew, a.k.a. Milky.
But if it's not, please email us and we'll credit you next time.
Very all very good noodles that I haven't seen before.
I'm looking at the other two, which we're not going to say.
Yeah, but just very quickly, the two were.
You've got a Nissin.
All three of these are Nissin, which were the original producers of instant noodles.
Yeah.
With their noodle cup.
Cup noodle or whatever was then.
The O-N.
It was the first one.
The O-I-N.
And in the annals of my noodle worship, obviously, a big one for me was their tonkotsu black garlic.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Which is nice as well.
Nice noms.
Yes. Now, this one is a nice nom. Nice noms. Yes.
Now, this one is a Tokyo soy sauce.
You know, they're so good.
They are a Japanese company,
but they actually have totally different...
You know, in Japan,
you can get ramen
and you get different types
for the regions.
Yeah.
Basically.
They do all of them.
Yeah, no...
They do, you know,
they do...
You can have a version
that is quite specific
to one part of Japan
and it's available in London
for 70p.
Listen, Tokyo soy sauce.
Haven't tried that one.
Really want to try that one.
Sate flavour again.
That's peanutty, right?
Yeah.
I wonder if that's a wet pack.
I reckon it's probably a wet pack to get the little...
Like a little wet sauce that you put in at the end.
Like a peanut butter sort of sachet.
So is this one that you don't have like a soup,
like you boil it all off
and then add it
then maybe mix the sauce in?
No, it's not
stir-fried flavour.
It is a sort of soup.
Oh.
Interesting.
But the one we are
going to look at today is?
One we're going to look at today
is sesame oil chicken flavour.
It's not a noodle though.
No.
This is instant macaroni, Paul.
Now.
I've had this before,
this sort of instant noodle
style instant macaroni. Yeah, it works. Now, are've had this before, this sort of instant noodle style, instant macaroni.
Yeah, it works. Now, are we breaking any rules by using a macaroni in the noodle kitchen?
It's not. It is a noodle. And also, I guess that's true, actually. Yeah.
You know, you hear people in America, they refer to like a noodle soup will have macaroni in it, won't it?
Yeah. See what I mean? So there's a sort of grey area.
There's the definition sort of noodle can be any pasta really if you think about it yeah spaghetti
is it minestrone minestrone has has macaroni or other bits of pasta or spaghetti well what
minestrone has is there's this stuff which is basically broken bits of pasta from the bottoms
of the the containers yeah which they sweep up and they'll sell for a cheap price.
Do you see what I mean?
It's bits of rigatoni, bits of penne, bits of...
Sweepings, a bag of sweepings.
Basically, it's sweepings.
But now you can get it in shops
because it's perfect for the soup.
It has a bit of texture.
Minestrone-style soups.
Yeah, but there's different bits.
So this isn't a cheese macaroni.
It's going to be a creamy one?
It's sesame oil chicken flavour.
Okay.
Interesting.
So it is a, you know...
Let me have a little look.
It feels loose in the bag.
It is a sort of Japanese flavour.
Yeah, and it's loose in the bag.
I reckon it's a one packer.
Instant macaroni is huge in other parts of the world as well, Paul.
Is it?
Like, they have it in America, don't they?
They have mac and cheese that you just do.
You just boil a pan and the whole lot goes in.
Yeah, Kraft mac and cheese.
I love that stuff.
It's similar, isn't it?
So the pasta's in that, in the Kraft mac and cheese.
Yeah, but it's a powder that you get in with it.
Then you mix it with milk, don't you, to thicken it.
This is just going to be much more efficient probably.
Add macaroni into 500 millilitres of boiling water and cook for three minutes.
Remove from heat.
Pour hot water and macaroni into bowl.
Add base and seasoning oil. So this looks like it could be a soup packet. It's a soup noodle. It's a soup macaroni into bowl, add base and seasoning oil.
So this looks like it could be a soup packet.
It's a soup noodle.
It's a soup macaroni.
Very strange.
Very strange.
And it does serve two, this one.
That's the other thing I was going to say.
This is the size of a standard noodle packaging, isn't it?
But it's much more loose.
You know that pasta expands when it takes on the water as it cooks.
It's much more sort of condensed at first, obviously. Yes. You know that pasta expands when it takes on the water as it cooks. It's much more sort of condensed
at first, obviously.
Yes.
You know?
Yes.
So it'll take on some size
with the water,
whereas your normal instant noodle
doesn't.
No.
It's already cooked
in the palm oil, unfortunately.
Let's hope it's not palm oil.
You know, I hope they're moving away
from palm oil.
We can only hope.
Yes.
Now, the other noodle, Paul,
just briefly,
I just wanted to mention this one.
Yeah.
Because it looks like
it's got spunk in it, doesn't it? It's very white, this one. It's a sort, Paul, just briefly. I just wanted to mention this one. Yeah. Because it looks like it's got spunk in it, doesn't it?
It's very white, this one. It's a sort of Polish
sort of white onion
soup, would you say?
It's a garlic.
It's obviously a garlic and spring
onion noodle. I want to look that up because I think
there's something creamy in that that looks like spunk
to me. Well, isn't it? A garlic sauce
would be quite creamy anyway. It looks like
someone's dripping a big dollop
of their special crema
on this,
on this noodle.
Just wanted to mention that, Paul.
You wanted to mention that, yes.
A creamy sauce
on a noodle.
A gloopy, gloopy spunk drop
on the noodle.
We'll be showing you this
on the website.
There'll be photos of all of it.
Well, and that's the
clinching deal for you.
That's the one thing
that is the,
mm, I must buy that now.
It's like you weren't
sold on it until you saw
the drippies bit of bollocks splash. Yeah, I mean, yeah. Yeah? I always look for, I must buy that now. It's like you weren't sold on it until you saw the drippies bit of bollocks splash.
Yeah, I mean, yeah.
Yeah?
I always look for symbolic representations
of bollocks splash in all products.
Why does it improve the meal?
Because you think,
oh, I'm eating the seed,
the seed of man.
Right.
The seed,
the seed of a horse.
Now, we've got another noodle for you.
Yes, we do, Paul.
You see, here's the thing.
I don't want to eat anything now that you've made me imagine.
I'll wash my hands.
I haven't touched my penis.
I'm not thinking of that.
I'm thinking of I don't want to put anything creamy in my mouth no more.
Paul, not that this is creamy
I just mentioned that
we're not eating that one
I just mentioned it
because it's a spunky
looking noodle
that's why
yeah
but that chicken one
looks creamy now as well
this is a Turkish noodle
and it's by a company
called Obamie
or Obamie
or
O-B-A-M-I-E
right
I have no idea about
Turkish pronunciation
but I've never seen
you know
have a little look
the spunky one is Polish.
We've had Polish ones.
This one,
we need to get the translator out.
We'll do it once.
Well, it just says
vegetable flavour,
so I might...
It's a veg one, okay.
And a Yeni SOS new seasoning.
I just have never seen these before
and I want to give them a try,
so I'm going to do that one as well.
It's a soup one as well.
So another three minutes
in the pan one.
Looks like it.
Okay, I can have these
whipped up in 15 minutes, mate.
Well, in a change from the norm,
we're going to send Eli away now to the noodle kitchen
where he will work in private and in secret on these recipes.
And if one of them comes back even with a hint of spoff,
I'm not putting it in my mouth.
It's not going to be spoffy at all, mate.
It's just like you've put all this filth in my head now,
and I'm upset.
You've soured the flavour for me,
because now all I can think of, big lashings of man milk.
Lashings and lashings of man milk.
Yeah, lashings and lashings of fizzy man milk.
Oh, I've got my crispy tots out,
and I'm going to lash my man milk on it.
Heffler!
Again, mate.
Oh! Oh!
There's been rock fall at that Mount Grot Pans
Oh dear
Okay
How many lives lost?
It was fine
It was in the lower levels
Yeah, no squiggles damaged
No, the scribbles are all
They're not here this time of year
No, they're not
Where do they migrate to?
I don't know
They fuck off.
Right, why don't you fuck off to your kitchen and come back.
So what are you making?
The Turkish one and the macaroni one.
Turkish vegetable one, only me.
And, of course, Nissan sesame oil chicken flavour macaroni.
Right, well, in that case, join us in a few moments.
It'll be a few minutes for us, but it'll be instantaneous almost for you.
See you in a sec.
And he's hot, back from the noodle kitchen.
Cooked the Nissan macaroni.
Pictures available on the website, thecheapshop.co.uk.
It's sesame oil chicken flavour.
Yes.
It was a classic two-packer, oil pack and soup base.
So the oil pack goes in at the same time as the...
All goes in together, three minutes, and it serves two.
It's thickened quite a lot, hasn't it?
It's grown.
The macaroni has grown.
I'm just going to get a few on this fork.
All right.
Make sure you don't burn yourself.
It's all right.
It's a bit...
What's the word I'm looking for?
It's a bit kind of empty.
Anemic.
Yeah.
It doesn't have a lot of front.
It's very watery.
You can imagine with a load...
Yes, it's too watery, isn't it?
Yeah.
What you need is to pimp the hell out of it.
You do.
With a load of hot sauce, soy.
I'd even put like a...
Something like tofu or something like...
Like a cheese on it or something, maybe?
Just sprinkle some parmesan or something on the top to thicken it.
Yeah.
This is what I felt when I had these before.
It's a bit too watery.
It's a bit too watery.
As a quick snack...
Oh, it's fine. I mean,
I hate to say this,
but it almost
tastes like of a super noodle.
Yeah, it does. You know what I mean? It's got that creamy
It's chicken, isn't it? It's chicken.
Careful. It's got that
creamy, milky,
spoffy,
protein-y. No, I know
what you mean mean It's stock
It's that kind of stocky taste
Yeah fake stock though
Yes fake chicken stock
Yeah
That is the base
And although there is sesame oil there
It doesn't cut through
It doesn't cut through
It's fine for what it is
But yeah that would be
In serious need of a pimping
To be taken seriously
In the big leagues
Six and a half
Out of ten
Yeah now let's eat this
Wait I'm going to
Give it six
No one cares what you say
Why not? Why don't No one cares what you say.
Why not?
Why don't, why don't you?
No one goes to
you for noodles,
mate.
They come to me
for unbiased
noodle thoughts
because I'm the
innocent.
I'm the one who
comes in without
any preconception.
I'm playing the
noodle innocent.
But I come in
without any
preconceived ideas.
I'm not an expert.
I represent John
Q listener or joanne q
listener and uh i represent them so i represent the oh look paul i've bought a mini digger you
know i'm mr tabula rasa you love that tabula rasa now i don't have time to chat shit with you right
now why not because i have to prepare the second noodle which is the the Obami Turkish Vegetarian Soup Noodle.
Oblada, life goes on.
Obami, Obama,
life goes on.
That was so awful.
We don't have to worry about copyright.
Go on, do your noodle. Off to the kitchen he goes.
Okay, Paul, I'm back from the
Country Urban Noodle Test Lab kitchen.
Yes.
And I've prepared the second noodle that we're going to taste today.
Yes.
It's the Oba Mi Turkish noodle.
I've got spoiler alert on the noodle in terms of the half department.
In the half department.
It smells a bit like a toilet.
Let me sniff the toilet bowl.
It's a lemony, a sort of disinfectant-y smell.
Oh, God, do you know what I'm getting at? Thatony, a sort of disinfectant-y smell.
Oh, God, do you know what I'm getting at?
That does smell a bit like Dettol.
Yes.
Not a good sign, is it?
No.
Do you know what?
This noodle in every way is trying to impersonate a very big brand.
Can you guess which one?
Nissan.
No.
Tonkotsu.
Tonkotsu is not a brand.
It's a dish. Yes Yes you might be able to see
If you look around the house of pickles
There are noodles strewn as
Look over there
I'm looking
What have we got over there
Two different types
We've got
Listen
Actually I'll tell you what it is
It's Indomie
Grab the Indomie
No it's fine we'll move on
Indomie
No we're not moving on
Oh god
We're not moving on Paul
Shouldn't have extrapolated
We're not bloody moving on Paul. I shouldn't have extrapolated on my points. We're not bloody moving on, Paul.
People are interested in noodle content.
This is nothing but noodle content.
I'm going to discuss the relevant similarities between that noodle and this noodle, and here they are.
Right.
This Oba Me Turkish noodle, which I have just prepared and which we are going to taste.
Yes.
Is a thin copy of Indomie instant vegetable noodle.
Yes.
Now, Indomie's big thing is they've got a very good oil pack.
And you can always tell it's an Indomie oil pack.
They just have an oil pack and stuff.
And a flavour pack. It had two packets, but one pack was split into the chilli and the soup base.
Right.
You know, one pack with two packs in.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's Indomie.
So they're copying their whole sachet game.
And then the other one is the oil one.
The Indomie special ones have lots of ginger,
and the oil pack has a sort of silty brown,
and then there's the actual sort of lighter oil on top,
so it's sort of two-tone.
Do you see what I mean?
You can see there's a lot of ingredients.
He's actually gone. He's gone, everyone. But anyway, it's imperson sort of two-tone. Do you see what I mean? You can see there's a lot of ingredients. He's actually gone. He's
gone, everyone. But anyway, it's
impersonating an Indomie noodle.
Indomie. That is the Les Dennis of
noodles. Now, I want you to get your...
I've got my fork. Here we go.
You want to taste this vegetable noodle. I'm amassing
it upon one's fork. He's amassed a big gollop.
There they go, and he's got some
juice on there. Get some oil in there.
The smell is really putting me off.
It's got a very dettol aftertaste.
Up front, it's not too bad.
I'm just going to get some of the broth.
It's citrus fresh.
That's where they've really gone wrong with that, haven't they?
Do you know?
And indomie, going back to what impersonates, indomie noodles do lime ones.
Yeah.
But it never has that dettol-y hint.
They manage it.
They do it really well.
When they haven't managed to do it with this.
Is it a cultural thing?
Do you think maybe
that flavour aftertaste
is more usual with,
is that turkey,
did you say?
Yeah, they like that
more sort of astringent
citrusy.
They do like a very,
a lot of lemon in citrusy.
So maybe it suits
the market then.
Interesting.
Yes.
Because you've noticed
it as well.
There is a sort of
more astringent
than normal sort of
lemon in it.
Which has to say,
it's the back end of it.
The back end leaves a kind of very, whoops, I've just had some Mr. Muscle by accident.
I've been trying to get high.
I've worked at WH Smith.
It's killing me.
And now I'm in the Illy Alleyway outside.
Or I could grab.
It got really cocky then.
I'm in the Illy Alleyway.
Outside and I'm huffing fucking Mr. Muscle I've sprayed into a Kleenex.
Yeah, great.
What a vivid picture you've painted.
Paul, just before we get off the noodles, so what would you give that?
Three.
I'd give it a three as well.
Three out of ten from the boys.
Fine, I'd eat it if I was desperate, but I'd pimp the shit out of it.
Talking of pimpings for noodles, Paul.
Yes.
You know what I've been getting into recently?
I don't know if everyone's noticed this, but if you go to Oriental supermarkets.
Yes. Chinese supermarkets I've been getting into recently? I don't know if everyone's noticed this, but if you go to Oriental supermarkets... Yes.
Chinese supermarkets that sell East Asian food,
you get these little sachets of preserved vegetables.
Let's have a look.
These are mustard...
I like the mustard ones.
And there's a certain brand that do what they call
preserved vegetable students.
Not pickled.
They are.
Oh, they're pickled.
It's pickled sort of roots and stuff.
Yeah, like if you went to Wagga's or whatever,
or a little thing, you'd get a little bowl of pickled fruit or veg.
Similar.
I think those are more Japanese style, like the daikon.
That is Japanese, yeah.
But this is sort of the Chinese equivalent, all of these ones.
So what is that then?
What is actually pickled there?
I think this is mustard root.
Preserved mustard, salt, flavour enhancer.
And then what?
You just add that to your noodle, chop it up?
I have been.
Yes.
It depends.
Sometimes it's pre-chopped.
Right.
They come in different flavours.
How much is that?
It's literally about 50p for a pack.
No, that's what I'm saying.
And I get two noodles out of each one.
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
It's not for everyone's taste.
And if you went to a Chinese restaurant, it's the type of stuff that would be in the hot
and sour soup.
Right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know?
Sort of vegetable matter.
Yes.
You know what I'm getting at?
Yes.
Yeah.
Well, anyway, I think they're simply sort of yeah yeah you know sort of vegetable matter yes you know what i'm getting at yes yeah well anyway i think they're great deal and they really pimp up certain flavors
of noodle it works with more on the chinese side uh if you were looking into the distance again
anyway i don't need to be i love the podcast so mentally i'm not i love talking about noodles
anything noodle related and uh a bit of a boring little pair of noodles I have to admit today Paul
it was a boring pair of noodles oh on the sauce I'm just going to fit a sauce report in here I
know he hasn't got a jam report but I've got a sauce report do you remember someone gave us a
sauce that was in the shape of a grenade do you remember that anyway I've been using it on eggs
and it is it's explosive mean, in the flavour department.
It's like someone threw a flavour grenade into my mouth and it went spoosh and then I had all flavour maximo-sci
in the old palette.
Paul's brain, are you all right?
Paul's brain!
Do you want me to get it?
Come here, Paul.
Yeah, can you go get Paul's brain over there?
Come here! Come here, you!
Get off!
I don't want to go back!
Come on, Paul's brain!
Don't make me go back!
Come on, ghostbusters!
Oh, mate.
Is Paul's brain back?
I don't want to be here.
Is Paul's brain back?
Yeah, I don't want to be here.
Have you finished your noodle thing?
Where's the jam?
I was off playing hippie skip scotch with my friends.
Look, there's someone here who wants to talk to you about the jam, because I didn't...

I can't take this.
Come on, Paul.
This is exactly the issues I have.
No, if you take control of this podcast,
it'll become some kind of darderous nightmare.
Well, become is a strong word there, isn't it?
An oral darderous nightmare.
Yes, I think we should put that on our posters.
Maybe we should actually.
Cheap show, an oral Dardarist nightmare.
I hate this show.
Come on.
Right, we're going straight into it.
It's a Ganon's Golden Games meets Life Hacks.
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
I could just play it now.
And I did.
Yes.
So I was in a charity shop yesterday,
and I was thinking, funnily enough, at the time,
I thought, we haven't done Life Hacks in years, really, properly,
because you never bothered.
And the ones you did come up with were absolute fucking...
Well, I could only think of, don't own a dog,
and you don't need to buy toilet paper.
I don't think they can be surpassed.
No, you also had the put those little pots of sauce on the pizza in the middle of a patio
table.
Oh, they fit.
They do fit.
Yeah.
Where would you put the umbrella?
What umbrella?
That goes in that hole when you have a patio table of that size.
You just put that on a different table.
So then it's useless.
You're another.
Well, it's not even a life hack because it makes things more complicated.
I don't want to take abuse from you like this.
I don't need to take it.
I don't have to.
I don't have to sit here and get your abuse.
Go see management then and complain to them.
I fucking will.
Go on then.
All right.
HR.
I've spoken to him before.
Where's he?
Up here?
He's up there.
Go speak to him.
Hello?
Hello.
You can come in.
I've been expecting you, Mr Silverman.
Hello, it's Paul.
What about him this week?
You know you've done like seven reports every week.
He keeps giving up on improvisations.
He's blocking me.
He keeps blocking me on the improvisations.
No, he's not.
He got too meta there.
He got too meta. You're confused, man. confused come on let's do the game it's gonna
i got freaked out then
right right okay so uh so yeah i was thinking we have done life hacks in a while it'd be nice
to bring it back but then i saw this on a shelf and it was like this is not only life hacks in a
tin but it's a game we can play it's called the
amazing life hacks card game oh so the basic gist is there are there are life hacks on here so it
would be like how how's best to get rid of a zit and that will give you three options and one of
them is the real life hack and you've got to figure out which one of those three options it is
it's that simple yes first one to five cards Now, if you pull a card out that says steal,
whoever's reading asks the question, right?
And if you get it right, well done.
But if you got it wrong,
you have to give me one of your cards that you've won.
When am I playing my steal card?
When it gets randomly drawn from the pack.
Show me.
I'll show you.
I've been having a great time
since the charity shops reopened,
just on a side note, Paul.
It's been nice to go back and have a little wonder.
I've been overspending in charity shops, just because it's a novelty.
We should mention, I went to a charity shop the other day, and you know, we have Tomy's...
Was it Yarg?
Yarg.
Yeah.
We had that, and we got it online in an auction for about seven quid.
But I went into a charity shop the other day, saw it mint in box almost, for two pounds.
Very good.
And it was in about the same condition
as the other one, except there's a bit of damage.
Something I can hopefully fix. You're going to open it up
and do a bit of surgery. A bit of surgery.
Retro gaming surgery. I might
retro-write it. I wish I could actually.
That'd be cool. I bought this visor.
Yeah, the visor hat. Your shit visor hat. And we've got all those
pins. That makes you look like a grotty
tennis player. Oh, I found the butter pin. Great.
Can we concentrate on the game? I don't care about your butter pins. I'm just look like a grotty tennis player. Oh, I found the butter pin. Great. Can we concentrate on the game?
I don't care about your butter pins.
I'm just going to put this hat on.
Yeah, good.
It makes you look like an absolute spanner.
Right, so.
By the way, wet wipes in case you need them.
Great.
So here's a stack of cards.
Each card on the back.
Is this a magic trick?
What are you going to do?
Guess a card.
Ace of hearts.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Do you want to get through this?
Gas, gas, gas. So on a card. Who gets a card? I don't understand. I'm sorry I'm sorry do you want to do you want to come on Gansgal Gansgal
so on a card
well who gets a card
I don't understand
we take
like the shuffle
this pile right
you're in the middle
you take a card
and you read it to me
and I have to guess
which one of the three life hacks
is the one that's effective
right
however
you may pull out
a random steel card
steel card
so whoever reads it
asks the person
if they get it right
you move on if you get it right you move on.
If you get it wrong
that reader takes
one of your cards away.
Right?
So I'll take one from you
if you get it wrong.
So if I'm reading the card
and it's a steel card
you won't know
until you've answered
whether it was a steel card or not.
No, you have to say
at the beginning
because I know what the stakes are.
So it means if I get it wrong
you get one of my cards.
I think I can pick this up
as we go along.
Yes.
How long are we going to play for?
First one to five cards
Oh is that it?
First to five?
Well it's one each isn't it?
So we can get ten out of it
We'll see what happens
First to five
Should we do it like tennis?
Where you have to get clear two ahead
No
No
I'd hate that
Just because you're wearing the visor
I am
I'm feeling well Tennessee
Hello
Hello
I'm well Tennessee
And I play tennis
Spitspot Hello Oh well well I'm here Tennessee and I play tennis. Spitspot, hello.
Oh, well, I'm here for my lesson.
I'm Montgomery Blue Balls.
I don't care. I got
hot balls. You didn't want to embrace it.
Stop bouncing up and down on your bed.
I got hot balls. Oh,
maybe they'll cool off if I use this
tennis. I'll use the net as a
sort of straddle for my
nuts and then they'll cool off.
Worst.
Gurry blue balls.
Yee-haw.
Worst thing ever.
Worst thing.
Worst you ever.
Fuck off.
Right, I'm going to put these questions now on the pile,
and I'm going to pick the first one first.
On the pile?
You're going to put the questions?
You're throwing me off.
I need to concentrate and be in tip-top condition for this podcast.
He really is losing it today, people.
And I am that far away from clouting you.
Stop!
Threats of physical violence will not be met with anything but...
I'm most disrespected.
I'm ready to play, Paul.
I'm ready to play this Gander's Golden Games.
Life hacks.
Best of five.
Let's do it.
You going first?
I'm going to take the first one.
Here we go.
There are two questions on the back.
You can pick which one you want to ask the person in this case you i can pick
one now are you so yeah right and we'll hit me with it so what do i have to do i want to pick
out the real one from these three guys okay here we go if you want to make some sweet dreams, make sure you...
A. Sleep on the right-hand side of your body.
B. Drink a glass of apple juice before going to bed.
Or C. Wear nothing but a T-shirt.
Which one of those three will guarantee you'll have sweet dreams tonight?
I know this one.
Yeah?
And I've found it to be true.
What?
Sleep on your right side.
It's because of the positioning of the entrance to the stomach and the body.
Right.
So if you're on your left, you're more likely to sort of have it at an angle where it will pour upwards.
And you get sort of discomfort.
Right.
So on the right side, it's the other way.
Right.
And it sort of settles more.
I've noticed when I go on to my left side, I start to get indigestion.
But I'm talking about sweet dreams, not about your guts.
Well, I'm extrapolating.
I'm saying these sweet dreams, they mean like a good sleep.
Yes.
And if you've got gurgling all nasty acid on your left.
No, it means you have to have sweet dreams.
Whether you're going to have lovely dreams about angels.
No, no, no.
Anyway, I've given my answer.
I think I'm right anyway.
So you think it's A, sleep on the right-hand side of your body.
Yes.
The answer is B,
drink a glass of apple juice before you go to bed.
Why?
And you'll have lovely sweet dreams.
Oh, fuck off.
This is shit.
Because apple juice is sweet.
It'll rot your teeth.
It'll rot your teeth.
It's full of sugar,
especially concentrate.
It's only one glass before bed.
What's your favourite fruit juice?
Pomegranate.
It's not, though.
It is, actually.
Oh, it is, actually.
And I love pomegranate. I think apple is my favourite. What's that drink brand that I like that has Pomegranate. It's not, though. It is, actually. Oh, it is, actually. And I love pomegranate.
I think apple is my favourite.
What's that drink brand that I like that has pomegranate?
Rubicon.
Rubicon.
You like the pomegranate?
Yeah, I do.
Why?
What does it remind you of?
I don't know.
It's just one of my most refreshing drinks.
Do you like the fizzy or the still?
Fizzy.
I prefer the fizzy.
I always prefer the fizzy.
You know what we should do?
Another Soju Turk episode.
Yeah, we should.
And when it gets hot, we'll return.
Yeah, we'll break it out.
And he'll be like,
I'm a homer, homer,
I'm a homer, homer, homer,
I'm a homer, homer, homer,
I'm still drinking my soda.
Do you want to pick a card now?
I'm drinking my soda.
So, you didn't get that,
so that goes to the pile now.
So, you ask me one of those life hacks.
Maybe try these at home,
ladies and gentlemen,
once we've read them out.
See if they're effective.
Comment and reply.
Paul. Yes. Hammering a nail, but don've read them out. See if they're effective. Comment and reply. Paul.
Yes.
Hammering a nail, but don't want to hit your fingers?
I don't.
I hate that when you hit your thumb when you're hammering stuff.
Oh, it's painful.
Well.
Yeah.
To remedy that, would you?
A.
Simply hold the nail with a clothes peg.
Okay.
B.
First, glue the nail to the wall using a glue gun.
Or C.
Bunch three nails together each time.
It's the peg.
It has to be the peg one.
Put a peg on and it will keep it flat so you knock your thumbs on in the way.
Makes sense?
I like the idea.
Yeah, you're right.
Yay.
You got one.
So there you go.
There's a life hack for you.
You get to keep that then.
I get to keep it.
That's my first.
I'll read one for Mr. Silverman now.
Here we go.
Okay, I'm ready. I need to get one off the board, off you? I get to keep it. That's my first. I'll read one for Mr. Silverman now. Here we go. Okay, I'm ready.
I need to get one off the board, off the go.
Oh, here's one you'll actually find probably very useful, actually,
to all the hairy people in the world.
All the hairy, hairy people.
All the hairy people.
All the hairy people.
Want to strengthen your hair and prevent dandruff, you like?
Well, I don't actually need that because I don't suffer from dandruff.
My hair is extremely robust.
It's wiry.
It's almost pubic. It's almost pubic.
It's very pubic.
You've got a head of pubes.
I've got a thick, lustrous head of hair.
You're a pubic peanut.
That's what I'm going to call you.
I am the pubic peanut.
I come from down your way and I go boing, boing, boing, boing, boing, boing, boing, boing, boing, boing.
Anyway, so you want to strengthen your hair, Eli, and prevent dandruff.
Do you have a problem with dandruff?
I don't, but I'm going to imagine.
I'm going to put myself in the position of someone who does.
Right, okay.
So A.
Like my dad.
Here we go.
A. Just add a little vodka to your shampoo.
Vodka's a shampoo.
Vodka's shampoo.
B. Just use conditioner without using any shampoo.
Or C. Only wash your hair in cold water
Which one of those three
Will strengthen your hair and prevent dandruff
What was the first one again?
First one was add a little vodka
Add a little vodka to your shampoo
I don't think that's the one
And then we've got conditioner but no
I mean I do often just condition
Without using shampoo
And I don't suffer from dandruff.
Maybe that's the answer.
But I can't be right because you're putting some gunk into you.
I'm going to go for B, condition with no shampoo and not the cold water or the vodka.
You said B.
The answer is A, just use a little vodka in your shampoo.
Oh, fuck off.
Have a little snifter.
Drink the vodka and then weep as your hair flakes all over the shop.
I don't know why.
It doesn't say why, but that's how you do it.
Drink the vodka and then think, oh, I'm pissed and I've got the pissed munchies.
I'm going to have to eat my dandruff.
I'm going to flake it off into the pan.
That's a life hack for you, yeah.
When hungry, fry up a little bit of your dandruff, you sad bastard.
It's not a life hack.
I want a dandruff fritter.
Ooh, scabby.
Oh, Christ.
Scabs isn't dandruff.
Yeah, but you get enough of them together, they form a scab.
You disgust me.
It's all skin, isn't it?
You can make a nice omelette.
Dandruff omelette.
A scab and dandruff omelette.
Pube and dand, pubes for you.
Sprinkle of the pubes for you
Shut up Tommy
Clock checker
Bob or whatever his name is
No he's under the desk man
Upstairs in the place that we didn't
He's under the desk upstairs in the place
You know in the HR office
Pick one for me
Okay
I'm still not on the board yet
I've got one card
You've got another chance
This is your chance Paul
To take the lead by two cards.
All right, here we go.
Pick one of those from the two.
Forgot to put on deodorant?
And you don't want to smell like the gym?
Oh, I don't.
Oh, I always go to the gym.
You can see by my physique.
You don't want to smell like the gym?
You don't want to smell sweaty?
Listen, when I get sweaty, I don't smell like the gym.
Yeah.
I smell like an alley full of fucking dead cats.
Yeah, you smell like someone's shat in a curry tin outside a nightclub.
A curry tin?
Yeah.
Are you ready for your question?
Please read the question.
Are you ready?
No.
Are you ready?
Yeah, so I don't want to smell and I don't have any deodorant.
What do you do?
Right.
You don't have deodorant.
Stop yourself smelling, Paul.
Go for it.
A. Lick your hands and then rub them all over your bob-bod.
Really?
Yes.
Okay.
B. Simply cut a fresh orange or lemon in half and rub it into your skin.
Right.
Or C. Find a dry bar of soap and rub it into your skin.
Okay, so...
So you've got A. Lick your hands, rub it all over.
Yeah, that's not going to work.
B. Fresh lemon or orange, rub it in you.
I'm imagining skin as pits.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Concentrate on the pits, don't you?
Yeah, that's really weird.
It's worse.
Or C, dry bar of soap.
Just rub a dry bar of soap on.
So here's what I'm going to suggest.
I'm going to say, it's not going to be lick your hand,
because look, sometimes your breath fucking stinks.
It's never going to be lick your hand.
You don't want to rub your saliva and rub it on your pits.
It's loads of bacteria.
You'll just end up smelling like a gob.
Just one big, dirty gob.
Which is awful.
Yeah.
Because if you ever sniffed, like, the top of your lip and just got a...
Sometimes got a bit of a whiff.
A bit of a spitty whiff on the top of your lip.
Yeah.
And thought, oh, that's what the inside of my mouth tastes like.
I don't think it's the dry bar of soap one.
Because, like, if you can find a dry one,
then you must be able to just find a wet one and wash.
So just wash. Yeah, but you don't have time just find a wet one and wash. So just wash.
Yeah, but you don't have time.
You do.
You're going to rub it on.
It's just like...
Like a stick.
Like a deodorant stick.
Like a deodorant stick, isn't it?
All right.
I'm going to go with B anyway.
The lemon and lime.
Rub it on.
You're right.
Yeah.
All right.
Mate, maybe that's what grapefruit came from.
Yes, it probably did.
Because it will deodorize the smelly pee-pees.
Yes.
What fruit?
I would use a pomegranate.
On your novice?
Yeah.
You'd probably get all the seeds stuck down your meatus.
That wouldn't be good.
No, but I could fire it out like one of those comedy airplanes.
You wouldn't be able to fire it out.
They'd have to open up your ball sack from below.
No, I heard about the guy who did anal,
and then he got a piece of sweetcorn at the base of his urethra.
Of his meatus? Yeah. And then what? Like the little kernel a piece of sweet corn at the base of his urethra.
Yeah.
And then what?
Like the little kernel inside.
A massive corn on the cob grew out of it.
No, they had to surgically...
Take off his penis?
Yeah.
Why? Because he had one bit of corn.
A little nugget inside a...
You know the little seed bit inside a corn nugget?
A corn...
He had a bit of vegetable matter in his penis.
Right at the base.
And what? So why did they have to remove it then?
Because it was stuck down there and it was infected.
And it was all swelling.
It was all swelling.
I really didn't want to go there, but I did.
Why did you go there, though?
Can you ask me?
I was just going to talk about having sex with different types of fruit for different effects.
Well, just be careful you don't get any corn down your metres.
That's what I'm saying.
What I'm saying is, onion's not good. Orange is any corn down your metres. That's what I'm saying. What I'm saying is
onion's not good.
Orange is fine.
Lemon's fine.
Lemon's probably better
than orange.
I would not use,
for instance, banana.
I think that would be
a bad one to smush in.
I wouldn't use apple.
It wouldn't have
the deodorising effect.
I think citrus is alone
in the family of fruits.
What you could do
is get a tangerine,
you know, the little segments.
Put them under an armpit
and just go,
squeeze it.
You know what would probably be good? Bergamot.
Bergamot?
Bergamot that they make a great tea with.
Did you know that that's a little orange type fruit?
I did not know that.
It's weird, isn't it? You'd think it was a herb or something, but it's not.
It's a citrus fruit.
Bored now, moving on.
So you could rub that, rub some bergamot, and then you go, hello, I'm Lady Grey.
I've got stingy pits.
You could just like dangle your tackle in a in a open
tin suck suck the stingy pits you fucking pleb right you could wash your dank you know you
by opening a tin of uh fruit cocktail and just giving it a splish splash
the way you were doing that he was miming he's doing that it was like you were opening the actual can though
I couldn't understand that
Ametis was grabbing
onto it
oh dear
he got
oh
his little mouth
has he got like
jaws teeth
like metal teeth
no you know what it's like
it's like one of those
you know heist movies
where they put a sucker
on a pane of glass
yeah
it's like that's what it is
it's
you've got an horrible
lamprey Ametis
yeah do I have lamprey Ametis right it's It's You've got an horrible Lamprey meters Yeah
Do I have lamprey meters
Right
Right
It's my turn
I've got to get on the board here
Here we go
Oh here's a good one for you
Right
To cook in one
You might know this
The best way to cook asparagus
Is to
A. Use lemonade instead of water
Fucking hell
B. Microwave them alongside
A glass of whiskey
Or C. Place them stalked down
In a pot of boiling water.
C?
Yeah.
Stupid.
That wasn't a life fact.
That was just, here's how you cook it.
But there's your card.
I'm glad I got one.
Yeah, you got one versus my two.
Now, this is your chance for three to keep your lead at two.
Yes, I'm looking forward to this.
The easy way to clean a dirty toilet bowl is is to laugh at it with the tongue oh get
your fucking meter slant prey on there vacuum meters lamprey sucking on a bog
word count bob
uh the easy way a pour a can of Coke into the bowl
Leave overnight
Then flush
B. Rub the bowl with newspaper
That has been soaked in olive oil
C. Spray a little bug spray
Directly into the bowl
Wait five minutes
And flush
So, pour a can of Coke into the bowl
Leave overnight
And flush
Rub the bowl with newspaper that. Yite. And flush. Coke.
Rub the bowl with newspaper that has been soaked.
News and olive oil. In olive oil.
Yeah.
Doesn't say flush.
Doesn't say flush.
Never flush the bog again.
Is that what you're meant to do?
No, maybe.
Shit.
So the shit piles up in a great big separating heap.
I don't think they're impairing that.
Ugh.
It smells of olive oil.
Please focus.
Do I put salt on?
Or, see.
Spray a little bug spray directly into the bowl. Wait five minutes. And flush. Please focus. Do I put salt on or C? Spray a little bug spray directly into the bowl.
Wait five minutes.
And flush.
I'm going to go ahead and say it's definitely A, Coca-Cola.
Because I'm pretty sure I've seen that on a telly show.
You can't stop.
Not one mistake so far from Paul.
Oh, here's a good one.
Here's a good one.
So, you want to get rid of a splinter,
but you don't know how to do it the painless way.
Oh.
I've had that before.
I get a red hot needle.
Yeah.
And then I scrape away at the skin.
It's like cutting yourself.
Over hours, hours, hours, hours, hours.
Like sore.
And then you go, squeeze it out, squeeze it out.
Oh, it's going to go straight to my heart if I don't get it soon.
We've all been there.
So here's the thing.
What are my options?
Is it A, add some wood glue, let it dry, and peel it off?
Wood glue to what?
My foot?
Where have you got the splinter?
So if you've got the splinter in your finger, you put a dollop of it and then let it dry
and then peel it off.
What if I've got the splinter inside my meters?
Then you've got other problems.
I've got to put glue down there.
If I had a splinter in my penis
I would be waiting around.
I'd be off to the hospital
ASAP.
Okay.
What?
I'll just sit around
with wood glue on my dick.
It'll work its way out.
Right.
So A.
Wood glue.
Let it dry.
Peel it off.
B.
Super glue.
Let it dry.
Rub it off.
Oh shit.
Or C.
Add some grease
like lard. Leave it for 10 minutes and rub off. Rub off? Yeah. Oh, shit. Oh, see. Add some grease.
Like lard.
Leave it for ten minutes and rub off.
Rub off?
Yeah.
Jack off, rub off, spuff off.
What are you doing in there, Paul?
I'm getting a splinter out, mother. I've got a huge splinter in me meat.
There's some pouring glue down and rubbing it off.
Oh, I'll come in and suck the splinter out.
And so on and so on.
Fucking so on. And so on And so on and so on. Fucking so on.
And so on and so on and so on.
Oh, spoffnichonny.
Shut up!
Right, which one is it?
Spoffers.
Wood glue, super glue, grease.
Wood glue, super glue, grease, glue, Spiderman, Batman and Robin 2.
I'd say grease.
It is A.
Wood glue. Fuck that. grease. It is A. Wood glue.
Fuck that.
Let it dry, peel it off.
This is a shit game.
You read one for me now.
I'm on three
and Eli's only got one.
If you get this one
you're going to be match point.
Yeah, match point.
Paul.
Yes.
A great way to get younger children
to behave
Right.
in public
Yes.
is to
punch them in the mouth.
A.
Punch them.
Out. In the gob. A. Kick them. Kick them in the mouth. A. Punch them. Out.
In the gob.
A.
Kick them.
Kick a child in the face with a boot on.
How old is this child you're kicking in the face, sir?
Seven, eight months.
When was this?
It was in the park last week.
Oh!
No, Paul, you've gone too dark.
What, for kicking a baby in the face?
Yes!
Out of a pram?
I don't even want to think about this.
Like, munching a baby.
I shouldn't have.
I knew I shouldn't have read this card.
I knew I shouldn't have.
All right.
So, okay.
Looking after a child, a naughty child in the park.
What do I do?
It says.
Right.
So more than one.
More than one.
Threaten to sing loudly.
Smack the eldest.
No, don't.
To make an example.
And so they all live in fear.
If you get...
I'm not even going to say it.
Just read the question.
I'm not going to say it.
Good.
That was actually too bad.
Mark today's date, ladies and gentlemen. Eli, use restraint. There's Pigeon there looking the question. I'm not going to say it. That was actually too bad. Mark today's date loads, Delman.
Eli, use restraint.
There's Pidge in there looking at me.
That's what's putting me off.
Oh, he's off now.
A great way to get younger children to behave in public is...
A.
Yes.
Threaten to sing loudly unless they start to behave.
Yeah.
B.
B.
Promise them some ice cream if they stop.
C.
C.
Start to behave badly yourself.
So, A.
A. Try not to sing loudly unless they start to behave.
Right.
B.
B. Promise them an ice cream if they stop.
Right.
C.
C. Start to behave badly yourself.
I'm going to say A.
That seems to be the only one with practical in your mouth.
Fucking stop getting these right.
Is it?
Hey.
Yeah.
Because why would you behave badly yourself?
That would be worse.
If your kids are crying, then you throw yourself on the ground and start crying and kicking your leg.
That one's easier.
Is it like shitting on a park bench
in front of your kids
oh
behave
yeah
behave
I mean what though
you know what I mean
dad I'll behave
yeah
please stop fucking that bin
exactly yeah
I'm giving the bin
the beans darling
bin the beans
bin the beans darling
daddy I'll behave
I knew I shouldn't
have read that card.
Right, my turn.
It looks like you've won, Paul.
My turn.
There's a big upset and I have an unbroken run.
Oh, here's one for Eli.
You've got to get this.
You've got to get this.
It'll be my only second card.
Here we go.
You've got to get this.
Right.
To neutralise the heat sensation after eating something really spicy.
Oh, yeah.
See, now you're in your wheelhouse.
So you've got to step up.
Transgeminal inflammation.
A. Do you drink a glass of water with some lemon juice in it?
B. Hold your nose and blow until you feel your ears pop.
Oh, fuck.
That's actually dangerous.
Or C. Eat a teaspoon of sugar.
Which one of those three will help neutralize the heat after eating something spicy?
Lemon, blow your ears out, or sugar.
Not what I was expecting.
I was expecting something else.
Hold your nose and blow into it.
That is dangerous.
That's something you wouldn't do
for anything other than...
You could rupture your eardrum
or something.
Maybe if you're in an airplane
and you go...
You still shouldn't.
You should still advise against it.
That's why they give you
sweets to suck on.
You should swallow.
That's all you should do
for those poppy ear things.
You could rupture your ears.
I'm going to help you out
by saying it's definitely not B
because that's just fucking stupid.
Yeah, I wouldn't have chosen B anyway.
So is it
glass of water with lemon
or teaspoon of sugar?
Because that helps the medicine go down.
I think it's the sugar.
Eli gets his second card.
Now this is the one
that could win me the game.
Four cards to Eli's two.
But just on that last thing, Paul.
Yeah.
Everyone knows milk
is the real thing
that actually works. Anything with like milk or that kind of dairy fat to actually knows milk is the real thing that actually works.
Anything with milk or that kind of dairy fat
to actually cool down.
I wonder why the sugar works.
For similar reasons that it is...
The whole heat of chilli is just an illusion.
We should try that out one day.
Get some hot sauce, go woof.
Yeah.
Do you want to do it at the end?
How about we end the show with it?
I've got lots of hot sauces you can try here, Paul.
Get the hottest bastard you can.
I think it's that one.
I think that's the Mary Sharps.
You see that?
No, go along, go along, go along, go along.
There.
So we'll get that, right?
Gobbleload.
And then we'll each have a teaspoon of sugar and see if it works.
All right.
All right?
Yeah.
That's our ending cheap show today.
That's good.
Good, nice.
After you've done the homework, yeah?
Yeah.
So you can prepare it while I'm doing the homework.
Now, it's time for you to win this Golden Games game.
All right, here we go.
It's all there for you, Paul.
You have four cards.
I only have two.
One, two, three, four. You have four cards. I only have two.
One, two, three, four.
You'd have to get the next three wrong to lose.
And you'd have to get at least one of the three right.
Or you'd play eternally.
It could go on forever.
There are many ways this could turn out.
The many permutations of the game.
Okay, Paul.
Yes.
Imagine you can't be arsed to go into work.
You can't be arsed.
You're not sick.
No, I don't want to.
It's a mental thing.
It's a mental thing it's a mental thing
you hate it
Darren in the office
you hate Darren
fucking Darren
comes in
hey everyone
what a great day
to make money
and you think
fuck off Darren
I saw you
I saw you dogging
in the fucking car park
last time you were
having a wank in the toilet
Darren comes in
you can hear him
because of his cough
he's in the next one
and then you go
oh
you shoot your skunk
up the wanker the back wall he goes
paul paul is that you and you go and you fucking wait in there for half an hour till he's definitely
gone no not no yeah darren's never caught me masturbating he has he doesn't know it's you
because you didn't say anything no you knew it was him he knew someone was masturbating. He doesn't know it was you because you didn't say anything. No, what happened? He knew someone was masturbating
because you went...
No, what happened?
No, what really happened was
I went for a poo
and as it was coming out
because it was quite a messy dropping,
he came in and he could hear it
and all I could hear was him going...
And he knew it was me
because I had been at the desk for a few minutes
it's awful
so I was trying to hold it in
but then that was getting painful
and it all came out
like a dropped slurry
and he went
wash your hands Paul
and walked out
that's why I fucking hate Darren
he did know it was you
see I've got a story
I've got a different story
because what he's been telling people
is that it was you
this is why I fucking hate Darren
and you were spanking up
all over the place
I'm going to go to see HR
okay so if you want to go to see HR.
Okay.
So, if you want to sound sick when you call into work,
so just to, A, drink a glass of water as you talk.
Right.
And again, I know I sound a bit sick this week.
I've got a blocked up nose.
Apologies, everyone. So, you're drinking and going,
like that? Yes. Are you drowning? Yes. So you're drinking and going... Like that?
Yes.
Are you drowning?
Yes.
Can't come in today.
Can't come in because I'm drowning in the lake.
Yeah, that'd be good.
Good mouth work there, Paul.
Thank you.
Or is it B, lie on your back while hanging your head over the edge of the bed?
Let's try that.
Hell, I can't come in today.
I can't come in.
I can't come in.
Or C, hold your nose with your fingers as you talk.
Ring, ring, ring, ring.
You're the boss.
You're management.
Hello, SDS management.
Hi, Eli.
I can't come in to do the podcast today.
Who's this?
It's Paul.
I can't come in to do the podcast.
Paul, you have to come in today.
I can't come in.
I'm feeling really sick today.
It sounds like you're holding your nose, Paul.
Well, that's the irony.
I can't come in because...
That's the ironing?
Yeah.
You've done the ironing?
Well, that's the irony.
You've done ironing?
What, have you burnt yourself on the iron?
I broke a plate and I tried to fix it.
With the iron?
I got my super glue on my fingers.
Have you got glue in your metres again?
Everybody!
He's got glue up his metres again!
I know! I fucking hate Darren. Darren's got glue up his metres again. I know.
I fucking hate Darren.
Darren's here.
Darren?
Darren's naked.
Why is Darren naked in the office?
Because we're having an affair.
I'm coming in.
Right, which one, Paul?
I need an answer for you.
The last one.
So, A, drink a glass of water.
C, no, you're wrong.
What was it?
Lie on your back with your...
hanging your head over the edge of the bed.
Oh, I'll try that next time I want to bunk off this podcast.
This is my chance for number three.
Your phone screen has a small scratch on it.
What should you rub onto it to make it good again?
Don't say your penis.
I wouldn't rub my penis on the phone screen.
Would you use a little bit of hairspray,
toothpaste, or butter?
I'm going to give you my reasoning here, Paul.
I think the toothpaste will have something abrasive in
that gets the plaque off the enamel.
Especially the arm enamel stuff.
And I think that's what the scratcher will do.
It will sand it very slightly.
So the slight scratch sort of disappears, literally.
Because it's just a little bit of...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And what were the other two? H, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And what were the other two?
Hairspray or butter.
Butter definitely wouldn't work. There wouldn't be butter.
Wouldn't be hairspray either.
I'm going to go for toothpaste.
And you'd be correct too.
Great.
It is toothpaste.
Good tip.
Next card.
Is this one going to win me the round?
This could be you.
This is another match point for you.
Three plays two.
It's heating up.
Now.
Yes. Picture if you will. is another match point for you. It's three plays two. It's heating up. Now. Yes.
Picture if you will.
Right.
Your dog's eating.
Nom, nom, nom, sausage.
Your dog's breath smells awful.
Oh, dirty dog.
What can you add to your dog's dinner?
Yeah.
To freshen his breath.
Mmm.
A.
A.
Time.
Time.
B.
B.
Parsley.
Parsley.
C.
C.
Sage.
Sage. Oh. These are all herbs. Parsley. C. C. Sage. Sage.
Oh.
These are all herbs for those who are not in the know.
Not mint.
There's no mint on this list, Paul.
Just fucking mix them.
There's no oregano.
No pedigree chum in Tic Tacs.
There's no Garam Amla Sala.
No.
Or any of the others.
Or black pepper.
I'm going to say, based on the offers you've given me.
Thyme.
Parsley. Or sage. I'm going to say, based on the offers you've given me, thyme, parsley,
or sage.
I'm going to say
it is
parsley.
Fucking hell, you win.
And I am the king of life hacks.
Well done.
Five cards.
I think it reflects
that you're much more
practically minded
than I am, Paul.
Yes, I am quite
practically minded.
Well, come on.
Alright, don't lap it up
oh here's one
you could do with
help clear your
sinuses
oh I need that
you're bunged up
oh I need it
I usually just
blow my nose
is it
A
sing a song
holding your nose
at the same time
when we had
a little lamb
her face was
white as snow
and everywhere
the lamb was
felt to go
and then the lamb
he came around
and he came around here.
And now he goes...
He went, oh, terrible fright.
And then the lamb, he's cutting round...
Shut up.
Is it B, adding two teaspoons of lemon juice to a hot...
They love lemon, don't they?
A mug of hot water and smelling the steam.
How many of these?
About three of these so far have had citrus in them.
Lemon and fruit. You can use them to clean pans and things like that. How many of these? About three of these so far have had citrus and lemon and fruit. You can
use them to clean pans and things like that.
You can also use tea to clean
crockery.
Or C, pushing the tongue
against the top of your mouth and pushing your
finger between your eyebrows
for about 30 seconds. So push
your tongue up against the top of your mouth and
pushing your finger between your eyebrows for 20
seconds. He's pushing his finger and i presume i can't see but i presume he's placing his tongue upon
the roof of his mouth whilst pressing his forehead does seem to work it's weird does it yeah so is it
a b or c i don't know i'll go for c eli you are correct it is the tongue one. That's an intro. I never knew that.
That's good.
It does seem to work.
It was working.
I only did it for five seconds or something.
Something like that, but it's had some effect.
I've had terrible hay fever this year.
I've been really bunged up.
It's really getting me down, actually.
Well, now you've got something that could potentially help relieve you.
So if you're in the street... I can do that with my tongue in private.
Waiting for a bus.
You can just sit there and go...
And press your finger against your head.
I often, to stop myself sneezing, press just right under my nose.
Yeah, that's meant to work as well.
It does work.
I think it's the same nerve.
And apparently, if you squeeze your big toe, it can prevent you from orgasming during sex.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I'll show you.
No, oh, shut up.
Hold my toe.
Hold me toe.
He's not wanking anybody. Hold me toe.
He's not really wanking. If you don't hold my toe, I'm gonna go.
What, you're spanking my mouth, will you? Yeah.
I'm so glad. I'm glad we've
got her here, Paul. And you are
making a wank noise with your mouth.
And I said, spanking
my mouth, will you? And you said he said yeah and that's how we're
conducting ourselves and you wouldn't have to worry about that if you just squeeze me toe

show and eli is at eli snoid spelled e-l-i-S-N-O-I-D and now to finish the episode
off Eli will be testing out
one of those life hacks where it says
to cut back on the heat
sensation after something's spicy
have a spoonful of sugar
Eli I am going to be using for this
experiment Paul Encona
Extra
triple extra hot pepper sauce
it's hot it's not
I'll eat it
as a food
there's no need to go crazy
for this is there Silverman
I'm just going to
take a good bit of that
until I've got a burn on
and he's got a brown sugar spoon there
and we're going to see
I've got lots of demerara
hey you know what it didn't say
what kind of sugar
is it just white
is it brown
is it demerara
I think this isn't going to be as effective
because it takes
because they're crystals
of demerara larger
and they'll take some time
to sort of dissolve
just everyone's got white sugar but brown sugar that is caster demerara are larger, and they'll take some time to dissolve. Just everyone's got white sugar, but brown sugar is caster.
Demerara.
You were just trying to do that, and I just thought I'd beat you to it.
I wasn't trying to do it.
And then I regret telling that joke.
Now, what I meant is...
Talking to the mic.
Caster sugar's like the most fine, isn't it?
That's the really powdery.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That'll probably dissolve quickest.
Do you see what I mean?
Yes, it's probably most effective.
Yeah, so this might be delayed because it's larger crystals.
That's all I'm saying.
Here we go.
He's downed the extra hot pepper sauce,
Encona.
It's extra hot.
Eli is wincing accordingly.
Yeah, yeah.
And now he's entering
into the sugar spoon situation.
He puts the whole spoon in his mouth,
swallows down the sugar,
and all I see is pain.
All I see is unhappiness
and pain.
And a reasonably good impression of Clint Eastwood
as well. Was that effective?
Yeah. Didn't look it.
You look quite painful.
Oh, God.
Is it nice mixing raw sugar with
hot sauce? It's still burning so bad.
Well, maybe that
life hack is one to
There's some water here
I'm going to cool off.
Maybe that life hack
isn't particularly
useful or productive.
But,
would you think it would
have been worse
without the sugar?
Did the sugar have any effect?
It seemed to, yeah.
Took the edge off
a little bit.
A bit, but
still lingers.
That is a hot sauce.
God.
The 20p's just come off.
Oh, it melted.
It's got a brown ring underneath it.
It's probably Coke or something.
Coca-Cola or?
Yeah, Coca-Cola.
It's all sticky there.
Yeah, like Coke would be.
I've got mystery sticky on my finger.
Yeah.
I don't want it.
Where's that wipe?
Oh, yeah.
I don't know.
It's all coming together.
Yeah, I'm going to open it for you.
There you go.
What does it smell
of?
I don't know.
It's almost beefy.
What is it beefy?
Don't rub it.
It's very hard.
Don't lick it.
Oh, it's, you know
what it tastes like?
A dirty coin.
There's a thing. Use that. And on that note, let's end You know what it tastes like? A dirty coin. There's a thing.
Use that.
And on that note,
let's end this week's episode.
I can't talk.
I've got too much hotness in my mouth.
And I've got a sticky, dirty finger.
Goodbye.
Goodbye, everybody.
Goodbye. you
