CheapShow - Ep 228: Aural Dadaist Nightmare

Episode Date: April 30, 2021

It 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.

Starting point is 00:16:33 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.
Starting point is 00:16:49 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.
Starting point is 00:16:59 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.
Starting point is 00:17:18 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?
Starting point is 00:17:27 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.
Starting point is 00:17:37 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.
Starting point is 00:17:49 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
Starting point is 00:18:07 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
Starting point is 00:18:20 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?
Starting point is 00:18:40 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
Starting point is 00:18:53 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
Starting point is 00:19:14 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.
Starting point is 00:19:40 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.
Starting point is 00:19:52 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,
Starting point is 00:20:09 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.
Starting point is 00:20:18 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.
Starting point is 00:20:26 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...
Starting point is 00:20:37 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.
Starting point is 00:20:49 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.
Starting point is 00:20:59 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.
Starting point is 00:21:17 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...
Starting point is 00:21:50 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.
Starting point is 00:22:04 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.
Starting point is 00:22:13 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.
Starting point is 00:22:26 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.
Starting point is 00:22:40 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.
Starting point is 00:22:52 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?
Starting point is 00:23:08 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.
Starting point is 00:23:15 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.
Starting point is 00:23:22 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
Starting point is 00:23:36 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.
Starting point is 00:23:49 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.
Starting point is 00:23:56 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
Starting point is 00:24:04 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,
Starting point is 00:24:15 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.
Starting point is 00:24:33 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
Starting point is 00:24:47 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
Starting point is 00:24:53 called Obamie or Obamie or O-B-A-M-I-E right I have no idea about Turkish pronunciation but I've never seen
Starting point is 00:25:03 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
Starting point is 00:25:11 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.
Starting point is 00:25:21 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.
Starting point is 00:25:32 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.
Starting point is 00:25:50 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
Starting point is 00:26:11 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
Starting point is 00:26:23 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.
Starting point is 00:26:39 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.
Starting point is 00:26:59 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.
Starting point is 00:27:13 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.
Starting point is 00:27:21 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...
Starting point is 00:27:31 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...
Starting point is 00:27:44 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,
Starting point is 00:28:00 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
Starting point is 00:28:10 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
Starting point is 00:28:18 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?
Starting point is 00:28:26 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
Starting point is 00:28:33 innocent. I'm the one who comes in without any preconception. I'm playing the noodle innocent. But I come in without any
Starting point is 00:28:40 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.
Starting point is 00:29:08 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.
Starting point is 00:29:27 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.
Starting point is 00:29:44 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.
Starting point is 00:29:58 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
Starting point is 00:30:09 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
Starting point is 00:30:16 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.
Starting point is 00:30:25 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.
Starting point is 00:30:53 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.
Starting point is 00:31:07 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.
Starting point is 00:31:24 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.
Starting point is 00:31:40 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?
Starting point is 00:31:54 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?
Starting point is 00:32:04 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.
Starting point is 00:32:12 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.
Starting point is 00:32:19 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.
Starting point is 00:32:32 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.
Starting point is 00:32:46 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.
Starting point is 00:33:00 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.
Starting point is 00:33:15 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.
Starting point is 00:33:29 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.
Starting point is 00:33:42 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.
Starting point is 00:33:49 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.
Starting point is 00:33:56 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?
Starting point is 00:34:04 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
Starting point is 00:34:36 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.
Starting point is 00:35:01 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.
Starting point is 00:35:12 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...

Starting point is 00:39:50 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,
Starting point is 00:40:03 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?
Starting point is 00:40:15 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.
Starting point is 00:40:27 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.
Starting point is 00:40:35 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.
Starting point is 00:40:46 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.
Starting point is 00:41:04 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
Starting point is 00:41:41 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.
Starting point is 00:41:59 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?
Starting point is 00:42:13 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
Starting point is 00:42:30 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?
Starting point is 00:42:45 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.
Starting point is 00:42:55 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.
Starting point is 00:43:02 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
Starting point is 00:43:11 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
Starting point is 00:43:18 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
Starting point is 00:43:26 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
Starting point is 00:43:34 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
Starting point is 00:43:42 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
Starting point is 00:43:50 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
Starting point is 00:43:59 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.
Starting point is 00:44:08 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
Starting point is 00:44:23 nuts and then they'll cool off. Worst. Gurry blue balls. Yee-haw. Worst thing ever. Worst thing. Worst you ever. Fuck off.
Starting point is 00:44:33 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.
Starting point is 00:44:49 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.
Starting point is 00:45:01 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.
Starting point is 00:45:28 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.
Starting point is 00:45:43 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.
Starting point is 00:45:59 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.
Starting point is 00:46:18 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?
Starting point is 00:46:27 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.
Starting point is 00:46:38 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.
Starting point is 00:46:47 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.
Starting point is 00:46:53 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.
Starting point is 00:47:02 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?
Starting point is 00:47:13 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.
Starting point is 00:47:23 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.
Starting point is 00:47:33 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.
Starting point is 00:47:44 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.
Starting point is 00:47:57 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.
Starting point is 00:48:05 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?
Starting point is 00:48:19 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.
Starting point is 00:48:30 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.
Starting point is 00:48:51 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
Starting point is 00:49:06 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
Starting point is 00:49:22 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.
Starting point is 00:49:40 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.
Starting point is 00:50:00 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.
Starting point is 00:50:14 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
Starting point is 00:50:29 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
Starting point is 00:50:41 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?
Starting point is 00:50:51 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.
Starting point is 00:51:04 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?
Starting point is 00:51:15 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?
Starting point is 00:51:26 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.
Starting point is 00:51:40 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.
Starting point is 00:51:52 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.
Starting point is 00:52:06 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.
Starting point is 00:52:19 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.
Starting point is 00:52:30 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.
Starting point is 00:52:36 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?
Starting point is 00:52:48 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.
Starting point is 00:53:04 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.
Starting point is 00:53:13 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.
Starting point is 00:53:29 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.
Starting point is 00:53:44 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.
Starting point is 00:53:53 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
Starting point is 00:54:00 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.
Starting point is 00:54:09 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
Starting point is 00:54:27 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
Starting point is 00:54:49 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

Starting point is 00:55:05 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
Starting point is 00:55:12 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
Starting point is 00:55:21 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.
Starting point is 00:55:33 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
Starting point is 00:56:05 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

Starting point is 00:56:30 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.
Starting point is 00:56:39 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.
Starting point is 00:56:53 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.
Starting point is 00:57:09 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.
Starting point is 00:57:22 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?
Starting point is 00:57:37 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
Starting point is 00:57:47 ASAP. Okay. What? I'll just sit around with wood glue on my dick. It'll work its way out. Right. So A.
Starting point is 00:57:55 Wood glue. Let it dry. Peel it off. B. Super glue. Let it dry. Rub it off. Oh shit.

Starting point is 00:58:54 Yeah, match point. Paul. Yes. A great way to get younger children to behave Right. in public Yes.
Starting point is 00:59:01 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.
Starting point is 00:59:07 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?
Starting point is 00:59:19 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.
Starting point is 00:59:28 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.
Starting point is 00:59:35 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.
Starting point is 00:59:42 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...
Starting point is 00:59:54 A. Yes. Threaten to sing loudly unless they start to behave. Yeah. B. B. Promise them some ice cream if they stop. C.
Starting point is 01:00:04 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.
Starting point is 01:00:19 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.
Starting point is 01:00:37 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
Starting point is 01:00:47 yeah behave I mean what though you know what I mean dad I'll behave yeah please stop fucking that bin exactly yeah
Starting point is 01:00:55 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.
Starting point is 01:01:05 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.
Starting point is 01:01:14 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?
Starting point is 01:01:29 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.
Starting point is 01:01:45 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...
Starting point is 01:01:54 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.
Starting point is 01:02:01 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.
Starting point is 01:02:10 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
Starting point is 01:02:23 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.
Starting point is 01:02:35 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.
Starting point is 01:02:45 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?
Starting point is 01:02:53 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.
Starting point is 01:03:01 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.
Starting point is 01:03:11 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.
Starting point is 01:03:21 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

Starting point is 01:04:10 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
Starting point is 01:04:25 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
Starting point is 01:04:33 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

Starting point is 01:05:24 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?
Starting point is 01:05:36 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...
Starting point is 01:05:47 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?

Starting point is 01:06:08 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.
Starting point is 01:06:20 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?
Starting point is 01:06:38 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.
Starting point is 01:06:55 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.
Starting point is 01:07:09 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.
Starting point is 01:07:18 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.
Starting point is 01:07:26 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.

Starting point is 01:08:00 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.
Starting point is 01:08:10 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
Starting point is 01:08:22 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
Starting point is 01:08:29 you're bunged up oh I need it I usually just blow my nose is it A sing a song holding your nose
Starting point is 01:08:35 at the same time when we had a little lamb her face was white as snow and everywhere the lamb was felt to go
Starting point is 01:08:42 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...
Starting point is 01:08:58 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.
Starting point is 01:09:11 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
Starting point is 01:09:37 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.
Starting point is 01:09:55 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.
Starting point is 01:10:13 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.
Starting point is 01:10:27 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
Starting point is 01:10:43 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 eli i'm very sorry and that's it for this week on cheapap Show.

Starting point is 01:13:30 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
Starting point is 01:13:45 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
Starting point is 01:13:52 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
Starting point is 01:13:59 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.
Starting point is 01:14:11 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.
Starting point is 01:14:20 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.
Starting point is 01:14:32 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
Starting point is 01:14:46 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.
Starting point is 01:15:04 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,
Starting point is 01:15:12 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
Starting point is 01:15:19 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?
Starting point is 01:15:32 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.
Starting point is 01:15:41 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.
Starting point is 01:15:50 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.
Starting point is 01:16:06 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.
