CheapShow - Ep 277: Sock Race

Episode Date: April 15, 2022

WARNING: On this week’s edition of the podcast, in the Tales from the Shop Floor segment, Paul reads out a letter that some may find gross, disturbing and stomach churning. At least Eli did when he ...heard it! So, bear that in mind as we launch into yet another week of economy comedy madcap stupidity. If you can make it through the TFTSF section of the show with the contents of your stomach still inside you, there are more cheap thrills to enjoy. Paul also has a new Gannon’s Golden Games to show off and it’s a great one! Grab your socks, fill them with oddities and see who can pull out the designated object first. We’re having a Sock Race! What begins as a cheeky bit of silliness soon becomes an angry shout fest when Paul realises that he may be utter crap at this game… Much to Eli’s joy!

You should get fucking bingo automatically when you say gooch because that's all you ever fucking say. There still is a cheap show bingo card floating about the internet. It doesn't have Paul says gooch on it's all you ever fucking say. There still is a cheap show bingo card floating about the internet, you know? It doesn't have Paul Says Gooch on it.

I'm going now. Three out of ten for that character, Eli. On balance, you know, he didn't make much of an impression
Starting point is 00:10:56 and it's quite an offensive stereotype. Yeah, quite a lot to him. No. With his molecular ice cream company. Yeah, no, I didn't see much of that in his second appearance. He's a fan of the show and I don't think he should... He lived for that, you know? He wanted to say a Gannon's a golden...
Starting point is 00:11:10 Oh, God. That's what we're doing this week on the show. Oh, fucking hell. Has it gone sour? You soured it with your stupid, fucking stupid characters. You sweaty mess. I'm not sweaty. What's that underneath your armpit, then?
Starting point is 00:11:24 Ah, sweaty mess, isn't it? But listen, stroke the forehead. I don't want to touch you. I'm not sweaty. What's that underneath your armpit, then? Ah, sweaty mess, isn't it? But listen, stroke the forehead. I don't want to touch you. Please stroke the forehead. I'm not in the mood to touch you today. Touch my forehead. It's not liquid forehead. I don't want to touch you.
Starting point is 00:11:34 It's smooth paper forehead. All I want to do when I look at that forehead is take my palm and slap it on your head as hard as I can. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, really? That's all I want to do. So it's threats of violence.
Starting point is 00:11:44 Is that all you've got? Your mouth's no good, so you're threatened violence. Yeah? You can't talk proper. You can't put someone down, say what you feel, think of, like, fucking characters. Woohoo! Hello, it's-a me. Er...

Starting point is 00:12:24 I've never seen a segment tail off like this before. I've never known it. To just whimper away. Please just press the button. We've got nothing. Let's just begin the show. Okay. Oh, it's not an O'Norman week, is it?
Starting point is 00:12:36 It really isn't. And so, we move to Tales from the Shop Floor, Floor, Floor, Floor. Tales from the Shop Floor, write and say all of the things that you saw today. In your job... Don't you interrupt me! If I thought you had any ounce of musical improvisational skill, I'd let you join in, but you don't.
Starting point is 00:13:01 I've written a whole musical. Because you're a floppy-tongued wangler. Tales from the Shop Floor is the section of the show for new listeners who may be listening where people write in about their retail job
Starting point is 00:13:18 nightmares, essentially. You know what? The cheap show Bingo has a card, a little square that says, at some point in the episode when someone goes should we do this again? And right now I'm going to help you fill out that square in the card because fuck me, do you want to start this whole episode again? Oh
Starting point is 00:13:34 not the whole episode. No, I can't be bothered. Let's start this segment again. Just do it for them, okay? Don't do a song. Just tell them what it is. A song is within me. I can't help it if I open the cage
Starting point is 00:13:48 to my imagination and song fly out. Can I? If song fly out of my heart? Song unfills its wingeth. The wingeth!
Starting point is 00:13:58 Yay! If the song unfills its wingeth from my heart. I know, I know. It has to singeth. Okay. The singeth
Starting point is 00:14:04 and the wingeth. How do. I know, I know. It has to singeth. Okay. The singeth and the wingeth. How do you like that, you fucking prick? Touché. Now, please, just introduce the segment. We are doing a
Starting point is 00:14:14 Tales from the Shop floor. Now, as the years have gone by, the format and the content has changed. So it's not just charity shop stories. It's been police people watching other people have sex
Starting point is 00:14:26 with holes in people's legs. Or, you know, what else have we done that's really, you know, people taking a shit in a park. Lots of fun stuff like that. The basic format is things that have happened to people at work.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Yes. It's turned into that, hasn't it? Yeah, and that's fine. We don't mind it, right? We don't mind it. However, was it a few weeks ago we were talking about, like, medical cadavers or things like that, or what people do with dead bodies?
Starting point is 00:14:51 I wasn't talking about that. I don't know what you do in your off time. I'm pretty sure we talked about it. In your own deepest, darkest thoughts. No, I'm pretty sure we talked about, like, surgeons and medical students, and then I woke up erect and wet. Yeah, exactly. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:15:04 I don't know. It was all weird. My little belly snake made a hiccup. Oh dear. Oh no. Anyway, I don't know why
Starting point is 00:15:13 but we must have said something because someone sent in an email. Now, they have said that they want to send this in anonymously and I would kind of say, yeah,
Starting point is 00:15:21 Graham, we won't use your name on this episode. Old gag ears. I'm quite squeamish just as if you are squeamish this might be uh one of those ones to skip ahead to skip ahead uh i don't know how well what to because you should do an edit where you put in like the actual minute for them uh do some more work no future pa. No just say a random time right now. Two minutes 46. Skip to two minutes 46 right now.
Starting point is 00:15:48 We're already way past. We'll wait two minutes 46 now and then I'll read out the worst bit. I have a little little penis. Couldn't help it
Starting point is 00:15:57 you left too long a gap. As the bishop said to the choir. I have a little premonition Paul. I've heard that rumour. Of what's going to be in this.
Starting point is 00:16:07 Yeah. And I think there'll be some sort of genital mutilation or sort of... Or poo. Or poo. Coming out. Genital manipulation or poo.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Those are my two top picks. Okay, well... Or a combination of both. Let's find out, shall we? Because we did say poo-poo out bumhole. Yes, and maybe... Maybe that was like,
Starting point is 00:16:24 you know, like our little moment, our sort of Nostradamus. Poo-poo out bumhole. Yes, and maybe... Maybe that was like, you know, like our little moment, our sort of Nostradamus. Poo-poo out of the bumhole on the fifth. No, I don't believe Nostradamus ever said in his lifetime...
Starting point is 00:16:33 No, we said willy hole. Poo-poo out the willy hole, didn't we? I'm going to just go ahead and say no, we never said that because that's embarrassing. You said it!
Starting point is 00:16:41 No, I don't believe that ever happened on this podcast. Oh, here he goes with his messy cannon. This fine class. Yeah, well, I can mess with it. What is reality? You said poo! No, I don't believe that ever happened on this podcast. Oh, here he goes with his messy with the cannon. Yeah, well, I can mess with it. What is reality? You said poo-poo comes out the dick hole,
Starting point is 00:16:49 and then I said that's it. You've put the nail through the head there. And that's reality. Great stuff. So, this could have, Paul, it would be amazing. I know you're going to burst my bubble on this right away, but if this did have poo-poo out the dick hole in some way.
Starting point is 00:17:04 I can safely say that this story does not have poo-poo out the dick hole in some way. I can safely say that this story does not have poo-poo out the dick hole. Thank you. Good. Thank you for that. So,
Starting point is 00:17:18 with that being said, it is now time. And again, I just want to put one last warning out there. This isn't like as bad as a necrotic leg hole, but this could be upsetting to some people. Okay. just want to put one last warning out there. This isn't as bad as necrotic Lego, but this could be upsetting to some people.
Starting point is 00:17:27 Okay. I want to put that out there. Fine. I have to just hear it. Caveat emptor, as they say. Which means what? Don't do this at home. Buyer beware.
Starting point is 00:17:36 Ah. Be careful what you pay for, or you'll be stuffed. But does it mean you get what you pay for? No, it just means, you know, buyer beware. Be vigilant. You know, you make sure... You could buy a bad one. Yeah. And it will be all rotten. Yeah, it just means, you know, beware, be vigilant. You know, you make sure... You could buy a bad one.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Yeah. And it will be all rotten. Yeah, you could open it. If you buy it into an apple, there's half a worm in it. It's like Kinder Egg, isn't it? It means you've eaten the other half of the worm.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Yeah. Fucking hell. That's not quite the same analogy. You're going to turn into like some kind of super worm. No. Is that what happens? No.
Starting point is 00:17:59 The worm goes in your brain and starts saying, eat more apples, turn into a butterfly. Sounds all right. You might lose weight. Not you in specifically, the overall you. I go to me specifically when people say lose weight.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Yeah. Yeah. I think about myself. Yeah. And you also think about you with a worm in your brain making you eat apples. Is that what you fucking enjoy? Come on, read it.
Starting point is 00:18:20 I want to see what the writing style is like. Right. This, again, anonymous. I'm going to keep it simple and quiet. Hello, Eli and Paul. I'm sending this anonymously because the story is, strictly speaking, illegal. Oh, dear. Sure.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Yeah. Cavite em porto. Camper to porto. Right. Here we go. In your last episode, Paul... Oh, okay. So I might have been speaking with this with Biffo when I did that episode with him bouncing back and forth in time. Oh, I see. Yeah. In your last ep, Paul... Oh, okay, so I might have been speaking with this with Biffo when I did that episode with him bouncing back and forth in time. Oh, I see, yeah, great.
Starting point is 00:18:46 In your last ep, Paul and Biffo talked about how medical students in the UK dissect corpses for learning. Fair enough. I'm near the end of my medical degree, but in the first year, I did indeed dissect a body whom we nicknamed Esther. Funny nickname. I don't know, weirdly giving a name to a corpse in itself is an unsettling thing. Yeah, but then otherwise you have to say the corpse.
Starting point is 00:19:07 The corpse. The corpse. The corpse. Yeah, but I wouldn't want to give it a character. They're all pissed up, aren't they? Not students. Not all the time. Not all the time.
Starting point is 00:19:15 They're all pissed up. Esther! They'd all have the shakes by the time they got to surgery, wouldn't they? If they were drinking for that hard and long at school, you'd be going, right, count to ten, and as you count to ten backwards on the anaest you see their hand trembling you'd be like oh no you know what may be a total um myth myth but have you ever heard this story about doctors who have access to saline yes going out on the piss all night and then looking themselves up and they sober up that is apparently a thing i don't know it has the air to me now the sound of one of those total urban myths?
Starting point is 00:19:49 Maybe. Because that would mean there was an actual cure for a hangover. Like you could literally clean... You know, you could clean the alcohol out of your blood. Again, only if you knew how the medical knowledge of what you were doing... Yeah, but that means really rich people could do it. They could go out... We don't know really rich people don't do it.
Starting point is 00:20:03 We don't know Robert Downey Jr. has a bank account. I think it must be dangerous. You don't want to do that. They could go out. We don't know really rich people don't do it. We don't know Robert Downey Jr. I think it must be dangerous. You don't want to do that just because you're pissed. No. Do you know what I mean? Because you're replacing
Starting point is 00:20:11 your blood plasma. I don't know how it all works. I mean, don't you tell me that you have to have blood plasma of the right type or whatever, don't you? Yeah. But didn't you tell me
Starting point is 00:20:19 like diarrhea medicine is good for hangovers? Yeah, apparently. You've not actually tried it. I have, yeah. It's like an Alka-Seltzer or whatever, you know. It will settle your stomach. It deals with the lost nutrients or something. And it hydrates you. Yes, it has salts.
Starting point is 00:20:33 It has all the salts in it. All the salts. Different salts. So here we go. He had a body called Esther. On slow days, we would cut off chunks of fat from Esther. She was a hefty lady, so there was plenty going spare. And attempt to slip them into pockets of other students, lab demonstrators, or anyone walking past.
Starting point is 00:20:54 I'm just going to put that as a seven on the consummeter, frankly. That's not nice. Here's a bunch of body fat. I'm going to put it in your pocket. You're going home. You're looking for your house keys. And then, finger full of Esther, innit? It's like fight club is it
Starting point is 00:21:07 yeah they made so bad they steal all the all the fat from the outside the bins the liposuction places yeah oh one time
Starting point is 00:21:15 a boy with a not insubstantial number of globs of fat in his pocket unknowingly stuck his hand into them and then ran his fingers through his hair
Starting point is 00:21:22 much to our delight oh who is this person i'm thinking about naming him and giving their full address to the constabulary i mean there's nothing that's not illegal is it that's just i mean it's on the i guess you shouldn't be messing with you shouldn't be messing around with it but you have access to it because you're meant to be learning about it i mean you know what i mean yeah it doesn't make them come across as nice people not really but i mean they're all doing it. But this was years ago, wasn't it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:45 And there is often an element of sort of peer pressure around these kind of pranking, like, you know, a culture, you know, sort of where it becomes acceptable, even if the hazing or... That's what I'm saying. Let's not go ahead and call him a cunt. You know, people change. It might get worse.
Starting point is 00:22:00 It might get well worse. I mean, I can imagine the pranks they pulled in Victorian medical schools at the time were probably a lot more grisly because they had less respect for bodies, maybe. There were less codes of conduct. I don't know. I don't think so. I mean, Birkin hair and all that kind of stuff.
Starting point is 00:22:13 But those are undertakers. You know, there's a difference. Well, they were just body snatchers. And then they became murderers. But there was a lot of body snatching going around at the time, wasn't there? It was a big thing. Because you got buried with your jewellery. Well, yeah, there was also that.
Starting point is 00:22:24 But there was also medical doctors would buy corpses. Did you got buried with your jewellery. Well, yeah, there was also that, but there was also medical doctors would buy corpses for people. Did you hear about those body farms? No. They're places where medical people want to study the decomposition of a body. Oh, so bodies just laid out in different environments. Yeah, in a field with a cage around it
Starting point is 00:22:38 to stop animals getting to it. All a bunch of them. Imagine how weird that is. And they just keep checking in on that every few weeks. That's a good setting for a horror film, I haven't a body farm oh yeah that'd be a good setting wouldn't it yeah and then like a sort of rural american sort of hicksville like body farm guy there's a scene where a lady walks through and she sees them all but then she goes here's one go help me yeah and she's alive oh my god they're still alive still alive just but people would were
Starting point is 00:23:03 terrified as well at that time of being buried alive. So a lot of people would say, you know, you're not going to... Well, there was a whole industry. I can avoid being buried alive if I give myself to a body farm after death. There was also an industry in coffins that were made to help you get out. Like, for instance, there would be a bell inside or a little flag that you'd pull and things like that. Scary because the Victorians had a weird relationship with death.
Starting point is 00:23:29 Yes. And so all of this stuff and the body snatching and the grave digging and all of these things just led to a kind of fear of dying just because you wonder what would happen to your body afterwards.
Starting point is 00:23:37 But I don't, I mean, you think students, medical students of the day would be more ghoulish. Is that what you're saying? I mean, I don't think. Of that day, yeah. Why?
Starting point is 00:23:44 I don't know. I just get the impression that it's like... They could get away with it easier, I guess. Probably. Yeah. I hate to use the old trope, but was Jack the Ripper a medical person? There are ideas that he might have had a medical knowledge background. Well, that's what they say, that he definitely did have medical... I think that was one of the big pieces of evidence, is that
Starting point is 00:24:00 mutilations could only have been carried out with someone with surgical experience. But then they also say that... Isn't that what they say? Yeah, but they also say that not all... Isn't that what they say? Yeah, but they also say that not all the victims of Jack the Ripper were done by the same person, potentially. So you just don't know. We don't want to get into this. It might have been a bunch of bloody students.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Our podcast is sounding like a totally different and more boring, really boring podcast. Sounds like a true crime one right now, doesn't it? Let's... Keep reading. Reading. Right. The most notorious incident occurred
Starting point is 00:24:24 when we were cutting into Esther's small intestine. I knew it. I knew it. And the putrid green sludge of her last meal spilled out. He's gotten up. Hang on. I'd stay standing up if you... How are you?
Starting point is 00:24:40 Here we go. Take it in. With an accidental flick of the scalpel blade, a semi-digested hunk of bowel contents flew across the table and into the mouth of my friend. Oh, my God! Oh, my God! It hit the back of her throat
Starting point is 00:25:00 and immediately, in a reflex way, swallowed it. Needless to say, she fell to the ground retching and we all fell to the ground laughing. I'm beginning to think this might be a psychopath's email. That's so... You wouldn't even put that in a film. There's no way of making that not gross. No, I'm pretty sure I've seen something similar to that
Starting point is 00:25:19 somewhere along the line, though. No, there's that Ash vs. Evil Dead. He gets shat on by a corpse, doesn't he, in his face? Well, there's two medical horror scenes in that series. The first one is, yeah,
Starting point is 00:25:30 the fight in the morgue where he ends up up a corpse's arsehole, doesn't he? And then out of its ribcage and all that stuff. I mean, it sounds disgusting to describe it
Starting point is 00:25:39 but it's hilarious. Do you know what, Paul? When the little willy's on his face. You know what the weirdest thing is? What? It's made me,
Starting point is 00:25:43 reminded me of an incident from my childhood that I had, I really haven't thought about in years. Yeah. Then ladies and gentlemen, I wish to hear this suppressed memory. We needed a shit, me and my mate. I was going to say, you and me, we know we didn't. Me and my mate needed a shit.
Starting point is 00:25:57 We were out somewhere. We couldn't, and then we both took a shit. And then my mate was just messing around. Where did you take a shit? In the woods? It was like out in the woods or something. Okay. So you both found a little place to sit we're on a walk like and we needed it yeah you've never done that on a walk with me no i try not to well maybe we should do that for the next walk i'm not taking an alfresco turn i just feel i'm missing out i i
Starting point is 00:26:19 don't like to i want to have you and me bum bum. And he stepped in my turd, like as a joke, like he was messing around. Oh, he stepped in it. And then he was flicking it out of the tread in his trainers. Like a stick. And some went in his mouth. He literally ate your shit. Yeah. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:26:37 How weird is that? I hadn't thought of that in years and years and years. What happened then? Did he sick? He was like, bleh, bleh, bleh. It wasn't like... Did you laugh? He didn't swallow it.
Starting point is 00:26:45 It kind of just sort of went in. Yeah. And I laughed, obviously. And I thought, let's not talk about this. And then you picked up his shit and ate a bit of it.
Starting point is 00:26:51 And then you ate a bit of his. And then you started rubbing it on each other. No. And each other's dirty, balanced things. I, I, you see again,
Starting point is 00:26:57 I admit. Then you rolled around in the woods in defecation bliss. I admit something. Yeah. Something quite personal that came up. Yeah. Well, you hope it came up. Yeah. Something quite personal that came up.
Starting point is 00:27:05 Yeah. Well, you hope it came up. No. I'm not. Moving on. Not reacting to it. And you fucking attack me and call me a shit lover.
Starting point is 00:27:14 Yeah. A little pervy kid shit lover. I'm just wondering where it escalated to. No, it didn't escalate to anywhere. That was the end of the escalation.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Did you feel like putting your foot in his poo-poo? No, no. I would not do that. Would I? He was being an idiot and he got his comeuppance. He did. Which is a big gollop. Of your hot toddler.
Starting point is 00:27:33 I think it was like a piece of corn or something. That's the way I remember it. In your head, yeah. A comical piece of poo-corn popped into his mouth. It had some kind of structural integrity. It was obviously a lump. It had enough gristle to it.
Starting point is 00:27:50 Anyway, moral of the story, he says, do not donate your body to science or you will likely end up toyed with or eaten by a bunch of teenage twats.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Hope this provided some entertainment and doesn't technically count as fecal as it was only very much pre-digestion. All the best, Anonymous.
Starting point is 00:28:08 That makes it worse somehow, doesn't it? I said there'd be poo. That was almost coming out of Dicko. It's like that film with Daniel Day-Lewis, Let There Be Poo. Right, you're going to press the button. I've been talking about milkshakes. You've killed it for me. Have I?
Starting point is 00:28:22 Yes. What can I do to cheer you up? Let there be poo. I mean, come on. What can I do to cheer you up? Let there be poo. I mean, come on. What can I do to cheer you up? It's like that pool. It's like that fucking film, you know, with the big, big turd that eats people in the sea. Poo.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Oh, Jaws. Poo. Poo. Right. You know what? That ruined it. The poo father. Do you want to just carry on riffing like that?
Starting point is 00:28:43 We could do this all day. Well, that's what I mean. That's the level you brought it to. Back to the poo-cha. Poo father. Do you want to just carry on riffing like that? We could do this all day. Well, that's what I mean. That's the level you brought it to. Back to the poo-cha. Poo busters. Oh, come on. Poonies. The lost poos.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Terminator poo. Judgment poo. How about that one? That'd cheer you up. That did quite cheer me up. Oh, right. That does. Oh. That did quite chill Oh Fucking that
Starting point is 00:29:15 Just stop Stop I was going to ask Yeah Viberto to come in and do it Were you? Yeah but forget it now You've done it so we don't need to He did it before Yeah but I thought I was going to come in and get him to come in and do it. There you go, there you go. Were you? Yeah, but forget it now. You've done it, so we don't need to.
Starting point is 00:29:25 He did it before. Yeah, but I thought I was going to come in and get him to do it. I'll see if he's... No, no, no, Paul's fine now. No, you've done it, though. You've done it, so you don't need to do it no more, do you? Oh, no. No, I do.
Starting point is 00:29:33 We don't need to elongate this any more than we have to. No, we could, because he is hanging about, Paul. What? He is hanging about out there. Why is he hanging about out there? I don't want him out there. He's talking to the crinkle-crankle grannies. Granny crinkle-cracks or whatever their name is.
Starting point is 00:29:45 I can't remember what I said half an hour ago. Grandad crinkle toes and his wife Granny crinkle crinkle. Crinkle crinkle. I can't remember. That's her name. Crinkle crinkle. Don't say it too lampy.
Starting point is 00:29:55 Crinkle crackle. Yes. What do they do? Do they squish poos? No, they don't do... I don't know what they do. They're just hanging around. Tell them to fuck off.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Tell all of them to go. Viberto. Yeah, V to go. Viberto. Yeah, Viberto. Viberto. You characters are never as good as the old ones, are they? I could just get him back in, because he'd love it. He's a big fan of yours. He loves to say...
Starting point is 00:30:14 Is he a big fan of mine? Yeah. Although, in that case, that's all right. That's why he wants to announce Gannis Golden Gannis. Okay, all right, then bring him in if he's a big fan. Oh, this is quite flattering. Never had a fan before. It's nice.
Starting point is 00:30:23 Viberto. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. You want me to do it again? Come on. Oh, this is so good. Oh, I'm so excited. Hello, dear Apollo.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Sidebar, Eli. Just step outside the podcast a second for me. We haven't done it in a while, but just step outside the podcast. What, we're going to go down underneath? No, I've got a simple... I think we've got a hatch. Go underneath into the catacombs. No, none of that. Let's go into the catacombs. No, we're not going into the... Come on.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Alright, let me just press this button and we'll go straight down. What? Viberto's waiting. No, I know. It's just I want to speak to you about the quality of your accents because they're very poor. Viberto sounds like Moriarty. He sounds like a bit of Brandoff. He's not very Italian sounding, is he?
Starting point is 00:31:22 I understand where you're coming from, Paul. Yeah. You're working with a maverick, sometimes doing things that are beyond the comprehension of other performers. You just have to trust me. You have to trust me in your heart that I will find a way to portray
Starting point is 00:31:37 that character in a truthful and exciting way. But thanks for the little... I just want you to be more mindful of the accents that you do because, you know, they're a bit sloppy around the edges. Understood. Taken on board.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Do you want to go up ahead of me? I've just got to tidy up down here for a second. Can you go up ahead of me? Well, I'm getting the lift. How do I operate it? I'll press it for you now. Okay, I'll go. See you in a sec fucking cunt
Starting point is 00:32:13 is a is a hello a pod I'm a verb I am not in the podcast I'm still downstairs come up upstairs
Starting point is 00:32:24 I have to in the podcast yet. I'm still downstairs. Come upstairs. I have to use the lift. Right, I'm here. Hello there, Paul. I'm a big fan of your work. I love it. You can come and have some free molecular ice cream. I'm all right for ice cream.
Starting point is 00:32:42 Do the intro. I'll give you two free packs of our biggest seller. It's our biggest seller, Paula. Three minutes. Is that Paula? Your name Paula? It's not Paula. Paula, that's your name? That's what I say, Paula. Oh God. Oh no, God. Anyway, you can have
Starting point is 00:32:57 you can have you can have two quarts. Just say Gannon Golden Games. Two quarts of our biggest seller. I'm just going to cut this. Oh, the spunky spewmanty. I'm just going to cut this. And now I say the Ganon Golden Games, okay?
Starting point is 00:33:13 Yeah, please do it. A Ganon's Golden Games, a Ganon's Golden Games. Here I am, where am I? A Ganon's Golden Games. So thank you very much. Bye. Bye, Danny, lad. Do you want to sing Joke Don't J?
Starting point is 00:33:25 Shut up with your face on the way out? I'm okay. I have to go back to the ice cream factory. Bye. Bye. What a lovely chap. Right, so what I found in a charity shop...
Starting point is 00:33:36 No, he's really charming, though, isn't he, Paul? What I found in a charity shop was a nice little game. It's not exactly a classic, but it's a fun game, and I thought we'd play it today. It's called The Sock Game. The Spunky Sock Game game the spunky sock game the crispy sock game you couldn't wait
Starting point is 00:33:49 i don't know something has been playing on my mind and since i've seen this this game today paul yes how much spunk could you get in a sock like what happens to a load of spunk this is a question we've never answered but asked many times. Just before we started recording this segment, Eli was like, I think we went too far on the poo stuff.
Starting point is 00:34:08 I think we should pull back. Cut to... How much spunk could you get in a sock? Does it dry out? Does it lose its weight? I imagine you could potentially,
Starting point is 00:34:16 indefinitely spunk into a sock. Indefinitely? Is that the right word? Yes. Yeah, you could carry on there. Yeah, because... For your whole lifetime.
Starting point is 00:34:24 You could use the same sock and never have to... Imagine you use the sock... Never have to pour it out. Imagine from the moment you hit puberty... Right. Until the day you died, every ejaculation you ever had... Had to be in that sock. Was in that sock.
Starting point is 00:34:34 Would that sock still exist after 20, 30, 40 years? Would that sock still be there? You'd keep it in a little box, wouldn't you? Like Tupperware or something. And you'd seal it so it was airtight and then you just pull it out when you
Starting point is 00:34:47 need to imagine the smell of that sock it'd probably be stinky and quite damn imagine how bad that sock would be
Starting point is 00:34:51 after 30 years it'd have to be removed it'd be like I mean you could put it on a radiator and let it dry out and then beat it
Starting point is 00:34:59 with a toffee hammer I got you that got you. That got you. The sock game. The ultimate race in a sock. Is there a Toffeehammer included? No, there's not.
Starting point is 00:35:15 Toffeehammer? What the fuck? Have you ever seen a Toffeehammer? Yes. We've never had one on the show. We have. I'm pretty sure we have. We fucking haven't.
Starting point is 00:35:23 I think in the very early days we had a toffee hammer. I never saw no toffee hammer on this show. I would have celebrated it. We have had a toffee hammer on this show before. I would have made a big deal about it and I would have remembered and I don't.
Starting point is 00:35:31 So it didn't happen. I will pause the episode right now to go through our earlier episodes on our website to find a picture of a toffee hammer. If that's what it's... Do it after the show. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:35:39 No. I could do it right now. Oh, I believe you. And take forever. I'd take me time and slowly go through every image on those early episodes could be anyone
Starting point is 00:35:47 between episode 14 and 100 it's not there I don't know do I it's not there I do know what period it's from I think it was when
Starting point is 00:35:52 we were recording in Southampton so there was no toffee hammer I think there was a toffee hammer I'm reasonably sure we have dealt with
Starting point is 00:35:59 a toffee hammer on our show I can imagine what a toffee hammer is that's what I've just realised it's a little tiny metal hammer it's a small hammer that you use to break up big bars of toffee hammer is that's what I've just realised it's a little tiny metal hammer it's a small hammer that you use to break up
Starting point is 00:36:06 big bars of toffee and spunk laden socks right dried out spunk laden socks now this in this game it's quite nice
Starting point is 00:36:13 it comes in a little kind of nice natural looking cardboard box it's all very kind of I quite like the design yeah I don't know what even what you'd call this design
Starting point is 00:36:20 but it's nice I mean there were pictures on our website it's using the natural colour of the cardboard yes and it's printed on top and you've on our website it's using the natural colour of the cardboard yes and it's printed on top
Starting point is 00:36:27 and you've got two little viewing windows in the shapes of socks yeah with perspex in and you can see the contents in there there are pictures
Starting point is 00:36:33 on our website just go to that I'm just giving him a little thing I'm doing a little thing for him so I'll tell you what the fundamental
Starting point is 00:36:39 idea of the game is you get two socks in the box right yeah and in those two socks you get a bag of tiny box right yeah and in those two socks you get a bag of tiny little random things and in this case it's like a chess piece a dice a tiddlywink there's a cork in there
Starting point is 00:36:53 a domino a car a scrabble tile a key ring a cuddly toy a marvelous good game red ball big ball lego block it's all there's a little bag big ball, Lego block. It's a little bag. Red ball, big ball, Lego block. Full of random stuff. But guess what? That could be one of those dances. Red ball, big ball, yellow block. And yes, and Blacklegs would write a song to go along with it. Staple those frazzles right on the cheb holes.
Starting point is 00:37:18 But not only do you get one bag of random stuff, you get two of identical. Identical random stuff. And the idea is you put these two bags in these two socks so they have identical contents when you fill them in the sock yeah then there's a wheel there's a spinner there's a spinner and what you do is you spin it it will tell you what to look for oh a pig oh we have to find it and then you have to reach into the sock find it as quick as you can first to find it now i need to figure out because that's the one thing how long do you get to look inside the sock well
Starting point is 00:37:45 it's whoever's wins the first oh okay so okay so it spins right yeah and then we both have to dive into a sock and the first person to pull out the eyes and wins that point that point yes so it's a race and what if you pick out pull out the wrong thing you go oh it's wrong and you put it back into the sock really yeah that's what it says you put it back in you don't lose points or anything no it's just the first person to pull it out but but you can only pull out one thing at a time. How do we announce we've pulled it out? Is there some kind of buzzer or something that we hit? You can raise it in the air and say,
Starting point is 00:38:09 how's that? Okay. And you'll play fair on this, will you? Yeah, because we'll see. All right. Because if it's in your hand and you put how's that up, then that's it. I can't contest that, can I?
Starting point is 00:38:19 You brandish it. And I can't change it because my hand's out of the way. It's a winning brandish. It's the winning brandish. It's the winning brandish. It's the winning brandish. Richard brandish. Hello, I'm Richard brandish. No, don't.
Starting point is 00:38:32 I'm a lovely bloke and I give to charity. I give to all the charities in the world. I'm a very nice guy. Hello, would you like some money, Eli? I give you some money. Give us a smile. I give you some money. Here's five pounds.
Starting point is 00:38:42 What a lovely smile. Would you like some more money? I'm Richard... Brandish. I can't even remember. Just get on with it. So, that's the game. That tells a tale about the quality of that character.
Starting point is 00:38:55 So, I think we should play it for a couple of rounds and see who gets the most after, let's say, five spins. This is how good you are at feeling things. Yes, because you have to reach into the sock and using your fingertip... Distinguishment. Distinguish between... And what I like is... Finger distinguishment. This is how good you are at feeling things. Yes, because you have to reach into the sock and using your fingertip. Distinguishment. Distinguish between... And what I like is...
Starting point is 00:39:07 Finger distinguishment. What I like about it is the items in here can be confused for one another, like a ball size and a little cube and a dice. So you don't know exactly. It's not too obvious. Now, Eli. Yes. That's the game.
Starting point is 00:39:20 I'm going to play five rounds of this and see who gets the most points. Okay. We can call them betwings, if you like. I don't think we should should we come up with a Gannon thing for points betwings
Starting point is 00:39:28 what about Gannon Grotz no I don't like that or Paul Points Paul Points has got something going for him I think it does
Starting point is 00:39:37 you want some Paul Points not Paul Points Paul Points you know where there's a Paul Point yeah when you whack me off
Starting point is 00:39:43 right that's better there's a Paul Point on Paul it's his whack me off. There's a pull point on Paul. It's his pad. He pulls me off and I gave him five points. There are pull points. So there is an option on here to personalise the game as well because the spinner has a few blank spots.
Starting point is 00:39:58 It goes along with the sort of do-it-yourself aesthetic they've chosen for the cardboard thing. It's sort of like modular, dare I say. They're the socks. They're two nice... What colour are those? Kind of peach. Turquoise and peach.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Peach and turquoise. Very long socks. In stripes. Yeah. You can see the photos of these. Quite nice texture. Can I have my sock now? Can I get ready with my sock?
Starting point is 00:40:18 Well, we have to fill the things... Can I load my sock myself? In a minute, yeah, we can. Can I do it in the other room? Yes. I mean, that sock, you would get years out of that. And because it's striped.
Starting point is 00:40:28 They are long. Because it's striped, you can maybe mark the years on the stripes. I spoffed in this in 1984. I spoffed in this in 1996. Oh, it's 2020, and I'm always up to the neck of it. Yeah, but what would happen? This is what I'm asking. What happens to it?
Starting point is 00:40:44 Does it dry? What does it turn into? Like a big, fabric-y glass of lead. Like rubber but what would happen? This is what I'm asking. What happens to it? Spills out the top. Does it dry? What does it turn into? Fabric-y glass of lead. Like rubber. Is it hard? Like amber. Smells clean, these. Okay. Very clean and nice, actually.
Starting point is 00:40:54 Factory fresh. I like that smell. Oh, it's quite nice. There's a lovely huff on these socks. But anyway, because there's a personalised spot on here,
Starting point is 00:41:00 I thought I'd bring something to put in that could be personalised. And this is a little Eli treat. I'd quite like to play the game without... No. This is the'd bring something to put in that could be personalised and this is a little Eli treat. I'd quite like to play the game without... No, this is the extra items I'm putting in and Eli can have these.
Starting point is 00:41:10 Oh, these are novelty rubbers. I think these come from Event to be honest from a package a long time ago. Thank you. I was just looking at
Starting point is 00:41:16 the latest Cheap Show magazine. Isn't it great? Wow. It's a fucking fantastic one and if you want to get your hands on one, there
Starting point is 00:41:22 are two ways to do it.

You could unwrap it. Should we unwrap it? Yeah, but otherwise it's going to be very obvious which one this is.
Starting point is 00:42:07 How did you do that so easily? This is the thing with this game and I'm going to say this up front as well. I know you're at a disadvantage because, you know, I don't say it.
Starting point is 00:42:14 Because you've got fingers that look like boxer's ears. You've just got, oh, that's cool. Look, there's inside it, it's got a little lid
Starting point is 00:42:19 that comes off and it's, the rubber's inside. It's the little noodley rubber bit. Little noodley, that's great. There's a whole noodley rubber bit that's great there's a whole noodle block inside these things yeah and that's the rubber bit wow oh yeah the outside isn't actually for rubbing out no none of it's really for rubbing out no but it's a nice little
Starting point is 00:42:35 thing isn't it no you could use the lid for rubbing there could you right so that goes in my sock that's the first thing put it in your sock here Here's your bag of items then.

Scrabble piece, which is funny because we've got a thing when we play Scrabble in my family where we say, you know when they're picking the letters at the beginning to see who goes first? We go, don't finger braille it. Oh. So we say, don't finger braille the letters at the beginning to see who goes first we go
Starting point is 00:43:45 don't finger braille it so we say don't finger braille it don't rub your thumb or finger on it so you can find the A and go first fuck that
Starting point is 00:43:51 but what we've realised is chest piece all braille is for fingers so it's a tautologist statement isn't it

Spring, did that yes we're playing catch up now i'm ready to go i've filled my sock i've got my sock full as well paul who spins first uh who's gonna be blue i'll be blue okay you be blue i'll be red first one to what you want to do first one best out of five to see who wins the game come on no we haven't got time for that fuck off you never want to do something properly minutes already and i just want to do something properly. It's 17 minutes already. And I just want to get on with diving into my sock and pulling out tricks. Not first to six. First to seven.
Starting point is 00:45:51 First to four. First to five. First to three. First to three. First to four. First to three is good. First to four. First to three.
Starting point is 00:45:58 Because four might end up being a draw or something. So first to three. First to three, my man. First to three. Okay. Hello, I'm Richard Brandish and I hope you both do very well. The winner will get £100 from me today.
Starting point is 00:46:10 That's such bollocks. Who's this cunt offering money? I already owe me a fiver, Richard Brandish. As if we'd ever see that. I'll write you a cheque before I leave. Don't you worry, sir. I'm a tip-top, tip-top man and I will look after you.
Starting point is 00:46:22 If you're ever in trouble, get in touch. I'll help you out financially. Why? What business are you in? Why am I always asking your characters what they do? I'm so rich that I just have too much money.
Starting point is 00:46:30 How did you get the richness from? Well, I... Where did you... Blood diamonds. Exactly. Fuck off. Right, so, the rule is
Starting point is 00:46:39 you can't start with your hand in the sock ready to go. You've got to have it... What? Every round, that's to begin with your hand out the sock. I'm watching you've got to have it. What? Every round, that's to begin with your hand out the sock. I'm watching you.
Starting point is 00:46:48 Look at that. He's got a bit of weight. As if it's his nuts. He's patting it as if it's his bollocks, everyone. In the bollock position. It's like having
Starting point is 00:46:56 a really knobbly nut. Oh, fuck off. So look, they're all on the bottom of my sock. You have to have that there and your hand just, you know, wherever,
Starting point is 00:47:03 but it just can't be in the sock. It's got to be, your hand has to go away from the sock. Yeah. Your version of the that there and your hand's just, you know, wherever, but it just can't be in the sock. It's got to be, your hand is away from the sock. Yeah. And also, your version of the game. And there's a red marker on the board
Starting point is 00:47:10 which says wrong hand. And if you spin on that, it means if you're a left-handed person, use your right. Okay, we're not doing that. Right-handed left, doesn't really matter.
Starting point is 00:47:17 Which one is it that I use? He's doing a wanking gesture. I think it's my right hand, isn't it? I'm a right-hand man. Are you ready to go? Do you want to spin first? Sure. I think it's my right hand, isn't it? I'm a right-hand man. Are you ready to go? Do you want to spin first? Sure.
Starting point is 00:47:27 Yeah, he's spinning it. What is it? Poker chip. Ready? Three, two, one. In you go. I'm going in. It's a big, long sock, and I'm rushing it around.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Where is it? You can't use both hands as well. Once your hand's in the sock, you can only use one. Go ahead. Oh, fuck. All right, that's one point to Eli. Did we take that out, Ben? Yeah. No, you put it back in, sock, you can only use one. Got it. Oh, fuck. All right, that's one point to Eli. Do we take that out, Ben? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:47 No, you put it back in. Because you might spin it again, mightn't you? Oh, shit. Spin it. Ready? I'll spin it. I've given it a big flick. And the answer is pig.
Starting point is 00:47:58 Three, two, one. It's going to be near the bottom, this one, because it's a little wooden thing, isn't it? So, there we go. Wait. Oh, no, don't pull it out yet. Don't you fucking do it. Oh, I had it too. You're shit at this.
Starting point is 00:48:12 Oh, no, that's A. That's the scuffle. You are shit at this. Yeah, you want to say something about my fingers? Do you know what it is? I'm at fucking disadvantage now. I need to take my watch off. Oh, bullshit.
Starting point is 00:48:21 The watch catches the sock. I don't want to hear it. All right, fine. And it prevents me from going right down the shaft. Can't get my hand right down the shaft. You want to say something about my hands and my ability now? You fucking cunts. Get that brandish back.
Starting point is 00:48:34 I want my money. Ready? Don't be cheating now. Have your hand away from the entrance. It is. Don't pull it back. My hand is away from the entrance, and I haven't pulled it back. Look, see?
Starting point is 00:48:44 I'm just lowering it so I can dive down into it. Come on, I get the sock right down, down into it. Okay, what is it? Glass pebble. Oh, it's that little thing we couldn't find out. It's the bead. Ready? Three, two, one, go.
Starting point is 00:48:58 God, this fucking sock's far as fuck. No, that's not it. Wait! Come on, you bastard. You bastard. Why are you going so down there? Got it. Fuck. I destroyed you.
Starting point is 00:49:16 I'm better at that than you are. I fucking had it and then it slipped out of my hand because the elastic band got wrapped around my fingers. Do you want to say something about my fingers? Do you want to say something about my fingers? Do you want to say something about my fingers? Yeah? Best out of six. No! Best of six!
Starting point is 00:49:29 Best first one to six. You're such a cunt! He moves it to three. I haven't got off the starting point yet. Is it my turn to flick? Yes. Yeah. Alright, here we go. Don't be fucking... Oh, it's the little, er...
Starting point is 00:49:42 cut noodle rubber. That I got. That's the mystery cut noodle rubber that I got. That's the mystery item. Three, two, one. I'm in. Got it. What the fuck? Seriously, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:49:53 Why can't I get my hand down the sock? It takes me all the time to get down the sock. I have dexterity. I've got my brain working here. My fingers and my brain working over time. I'm just going to accept that I'm better at this. First to six. Get your hand out of there.
Starting point is 00:50:09 I find the hardest bit is just getting down into the sock. Don't panic then. Just get it in there. I get it in there. I go right down up in there. All right, it's my turn to flip. Yeah, it's your turn. And that is...
Starting point is 00:50:20 Marble. That's the small glass one. Go, fuck you. Got it. Let's see it come out. It's the small glass one. Go. Fuck you. Got it. Let's see it come out. It hasn't come out yet. Got it. Look how fucking close behind you.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Yeah. All right. This is going to get a little bit. I can feel the worm. You cheated there. The worm is turning. How did I cheat? Your hand was halfway in.
Starting point is 00:50:42 You didn't do a one, two, three. You're such a child. Fuck you. Here we go. No, fuck off. You didn't do a one, two, three. You're such a child. No, fuck off. Here we go. We're spinning it and it is rubber. The little square rubber. Get your hand away from the entrance of that song. I'll let you count. One,
Starting point is 00:50:57 three. And then two comes in after that. We did it in the wrong order. One. Oh no. It keeps bouncing around my fingers. Where is it? My fucking hand's knackered. Why can't I find it?
Starting point is 00:51:21 Where the fuck is that? Come on! Come on, Paul! It's quite tough on this. This is a tough one. Why? I thought this would be easy. Got it.
Starting point is 00:51:32 Oh, fucking hell. Five plays one. Let me just refill my sock. Can you do that next door, please? Wait, have you not... They fell out just now. Oh, all right. I was going to say.
Starting point is 00:51:44 Oh, you spilled a load of fucking shit. It came out. You've got to be ruthless with this shit, mate. No, you should... That's a forfeit. It's not a fucking forfeit. If they spill out, that's a forfeit. It's not a fucking forfeit.
Starting point is 00:51:53 No, that's a forfeit. Where is it written? That's a forfeit. It is not written anywhere. It's out of shape. You spilled them everywhere. It was in my hand. You just pulled them out
Starting point is 00:51:59 and it could have been any of them. I'm not playing anymore. I'm not playing you anymore. Back to four. No, it's five. I'm sorry, it's five, Paul. Just accept this. Stop trying to cheat.
Starting point is 00:52:08 You know what I've realised? This is really tiring on your hands. Have you noticed that? My hand is fucking aching. It's physical, Paul. It's physically mental. It's surprisingly physical. Right, you ready?
Starting point is 00:52:17 This could be a match winner for Eli. Is it your turn to spin or mine? God, my hand is tired as fuck. And it's spinning to... Tiddlywink! Three, two, one. This might be a tough one. Wait, is that it?
Starting point is 00:52:39 No. That's a draft. Where's this one? Where is it? Oh, God. I mean, it's very visual, this, by the way. But is that it? That's a draft. Where's this one? Where is it? Oh, God. I mean, it's very visual, this, by the way, but is that it? That's a button.
Starting point is 00:52:49 You can't use two hands, right? You can't use two hands. At all? No, I haven't been. I've been holding the sock with my other hand just so I can get purchased and letting it dangle. Yeah, all right, fine.
Starting point is 00:52:58 That's why it's been so fucking hard because I can't get to the bottom of the sock. Ah, God. Wait. Wait. Wait. I've got to use the bottom of the sock. Ah, God. Wait, wait, wait. I've got to use it to pull it out. I don't know what that is. That's not the tiddlywink.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Is it? Yes, it is. All right. Yay! All right, I've won. Thank you. Wait, no. Two plays five.
Starting point is 00:53:21 Back in the sock. We're seeing this to the bitter end because I'm a very poor loser. You certainly are. And an incredibly bad winner. Here we go. My turn to flick. Go on, flick it. What is it?
Starting point is 00:53:32 Domino. Hang on. This is where you win now. I know where this is going. So. Three, two, one. Fuck. No, you spill one. Fuck! No, you spill them.
Starting point is 00:53:46 That doesn't count. It doesn't count. It does not matter. It does. You spill them. It does not matter, Paul. I have never spilled a single one. You haven't got...
Starting point is 00:53:53 You only got two. You spilled it. Shut up. No, I'm serious. I'm not... That doesn't count. Except defeat. If you spill them everywhere,
Starting point is 00:54:01 that's cheating. Because you're just pulling it all out. It doesn't say that in the rules. It does. I'll read it right now. Pick a play from the thing. Do the first person. Only pull one object out of the sock at the time.
Starting point is 00:54:11 If you pull out the wrong object or more than one, return to the sock and keep searching. And each round, put them all back in the sock. So yeah, you're not meant to spill them all. So you've fucking cheated twice and I've let you have that. So I've won. Ladies and gentlemen, I've won on fairness just because I'm better
Starting point is 00:54:27 you're not I'm better at it than you just admit it I'm better at it than you just one thing yeah
Starting point is 00:54:35 there's lots of things people aren't good at Paul you know I've got many many flaws can't you just accept I've beaten you at that sock game
Starting point is 00:54:44 it's pointless but I'm just you're right let me have this time to tell you just accept I've beaten you at that sock game? It's pointless but I'm just You're right. Let me have this time to tell you that you're better than me at this, right? Don't have to tell me.
Starting point is 00:54:50 The proof is I've won the game. You are skilled at reaching into a sock and pulling out something special. You're really good at it. That's a fun game, that.
Starting point is 00:55:04 Isn't it? I actually really was enjoying that. But you don't need to... What? Sell any... All those items are real things. There's nothing... No, but imagine if the game would come without stuff.
Starting point is 00:55:15 It would have been harder to go, I've got to find two dominoes, I've got to find two balls. It's literally like, it's a starter pack for you to get going. And you can swap things out, I'd imagine, as well, if you wanted. And I thought...
Starting point is 00:55:23 It's funny what people market as games these days though something that is literally just something you could do at home with with household objects there's something strange about that i guess i guess that's true this is a game you could just play at home but maybe that's how it was started must be someone was like it really has the feel of something that someone's family used to do every year and then someone said oh you make this into a game because i remember mama and papa used to play exactly at Christmas. Doesn't it have that real feel of that? No.
Starting point is 00:55:47 But that's what I really like about it. That's what I really like. I like that kind of homemade feel to it. So the word you're looking for is yes, in agreement with what I said. No, you're right. What? You're funny with your little tics,
Starting point is 00:56:01 your little verbal tics. No, you're right. Yes, I'm right. Well, that was Ganon's game. So I want to clear that up. You fucking demolished me. You took me out into a field. I trounced you.
Starting point is 00:56:13 You got me on the ground. You gave me a shovel. You told me to dig my own grave. I sobbed, saying, please don't, please don't. I've got a family. Oh, please. I don't know what I did. Tell Big John I'll pay him. Big John's very angry. And then you said, sorry, we're past the point of fucking saying please don't please don't i've got a family oh please i don't know what i did tell big john
Starting point is 00:56:25 i'll pay him and he went very angry and then you said sorry we're past the point of apologies and then as i finished digging the hole i cried and cried until you told me to just close my mouth and shut up and then you shot me in there and put me in there and then you set fire to my body in the hole and then dug it over with the loose soil. Can I just add something? Yeah. You came in my mouth. Alright, maybe you shouldn't have. I just was going to say, not that. Wow. Big John, probably the laziest
Starting point is 00:56:53 made-up name for a gangster I've ever heard in my life. I'll do another one. You saw me at the poker table. You tapped me politely on the shoulder. You asked me to step away from the table. I went into the little back room with you and Big John and then you beat me with baseball bats until my hands and feet were smashed.
Starting point is 00:57:09 These are both scenes from the film Casino, aren't they? You're going to the film Casino, Brian. Alright, I'll do another one. Scorsese. You drag me out of my house. You take me into a shed at the back. You put my head in a vice and then you start to slowly turn. This is Goodfellas, isn't it? No, it's Casino. I don't know. Oh, God. I don't know. Is that the end of the show, then? vice and then you start to slowly turn this is good fellas isn't it no it's casino
Starting point is 00:57:25 I don't know oh god I don't know is that the end of the show then alright then you take me out of my house you put me in the back of a car you kiss me we put the radio on
Starting point is 00:57:34 and then we just cuddle what's playing fool if you think it's over and then we just cuddle for a bit and the rain comes down on the car we hear the pitter patter on the roof it's cold outside but the heating's on in the car.
Starting point is 00:57:47 And we're just all nice. Why has this turned into this weird extended fantasy? Because I just don't want this to end on me copping from a casino. I want people to leave this segment thinking, Ah, aren't they wizard chums? Just having a nice sort of date in the rain. In the rain, in a car, listening to Yacht Rock. Okay, fine.

Starting point is 01:01:16 or whatever it is. Crinkle Crankle. Crinkle Crankle. I mean, I haven't got anything for her. I am bereft of inspiration. I'm not talking about Granny Crinkle Crankle.
Starting point is 01:01:23 In a podcast already low on genuine wit, I don't have anything for Granny. I am bereft of inspiration. I'm not talking about Granny Crinkle Crankles. In a podcast already low on genuine wit, I don't have anything for Granny. I'm not saying Granny. I'm talking about Grandad Crinkle Toes. Also, I don't know what you can bring to the show with Grandad. He can bring a lot of fungal scrapings from his toe. Is that really? I think you're going to get a lot of mileage out of a man with just banky feet.
Starting point is 01:01:40 You can't get any mileage out because it hurts his feet so much. There we go. go well we've somehow ended with what I would consider a gag so let's end with that take care until next week everyone
Starting point is 01:01:52 bye bye love you thanks for listening bye
