CheapShow - Ep 291: The Heat Is On

Episode Date: July 22, 2022

If Paul and Eli thought last week’s woodland adventure was hot, then this week is going to be a very unpleasant surprise! As temperatures rise throughout the UK, the Cheap Chaps decide to forge onwa...rds and record an episode on one of the hottest days on record. This, as it turns out, is not a good idea. With energy running low and drenched in sweat, Eli suddenly as a great idea… Let’s call Juicy Jeremy and see if he can deliver some cool, refreshing “sody-pops”. Luckily, he is in the area and stops by with some fizzy drinks and maybe acting a little bit “suss”. What will they discover this week? You can expect confectionary flavoured waters, a new trendy special edition Coca Cola, something super sweet, something super sour and something… utterly gross. Find out what that drink was AND ALSO find out what’s in that new room in the far corner of the podcast that contains a certain tier of CheapShow characters. You’ll be glad you did!

Starting point is 00:00:00 Usually on Cheap Show we do a cold open, but not today because it's fucking hot. This is a hot open. Hot open. Hot open everyone, it's a hot open. We are recording this on the hottest day, certainly of the year, but will it be of all time? I don't know. It won't be because it keeps getting hotter every year, Paul. That's how global warming works. Well, welcome to the fun factory that is Cheap Show. We've got a hot one for you today, but we're going to cool it down with some lovely...
Starting point is 00:00:29 Don't point at me and raise your arms. Because I know that means you want to say di-di-di-di-di or whatever. No. And I'm not having it. This is going to be... What do you mean di-di-di-di-di or whatever? What does that mean? I want to just say one more thing before...
Starting point is 00:00:40 I've got some updates for last week's episode. Can we save it for after the credits then? You can do it then. Because, mate, this is a hot day I want to get through this lickety lickety split I have a little song you know I was working on
Starting point is 00:00:49 I know but right now we're just going to go into the credits I'm going to do the credits now the hot take thing I'm going to do the credits now I know but let's do the credits now
Starting point is 00:00:57 credits now fine credits now right credits now it's the hot opening I hate you and your fucking noodle posse people love noodles
Starting point is 00:01:16 it's just a fact of cheap show you're gonna have to learn to fucking accept cheap show off-brand off-brand It's the price of shite Paul Gannon Eli Silverman. Welcome to Cheap Show. And I go and I nuzzle. It's Cheap Show. It's the economy comedy podcast filmed on the hottest day of the year.
Starting point is 00:02:00 We've got our windows open. So we're going to apologize for any background noise that you hear in this episode or awkward edits to take out the sounds of bikes ambulances police cars or people sawing bricks
Starting point is 00:02:10 in half there could be some of that Paul also I'm hoping for some kind of confrontation between I don't know
Starting point is 00:02:17 some amusing junkies you want a confrontation between two amusing junkies I'm sorry I'm sorry are you the kind of guy who watches bum fights online. I don't.
Starting point is 00:02:26 No. You are. Admit it. It'd be cool if we could hear a bum fight now. No, it would not. I'm going to disagree with you wholeheartedly.
Starting point is 00:02:33 I would not like to hear. You were the one taking the piss out of that ill woman who was doing funny swimmy through the world movements. I didn't.
Starting point is 00:02:40 All I said was that she lost her own little world. It was like It Follows. She was coming towards us waving her arms. It wasn't like that. It was world. It was like It Follows. She was coming towards us, waving her arms. It wasn't like that. It was like Hereditary or It Follows. Not like any of those horror films. A little update from last week, Paul.
Starting point is 00:02:52 You sent me this. Coldfall. Remember, I couldn't find what it meant. Yeah, because you didn't bother to use the internet properly. I just, at that time, couldn't. Twat. Get on with this. I'm bored.
Starting point is 00:03:02 A minute in. Coldfall came from coalfall because they used to use that forest in ancient times for charcoal. Used to cut down the trees and burn them. Like charcoal, coal falls from the tree.
Starting point is 00:03:14 It's a theory. I don't know if that's true. It's better than what we had on the day which was nothing. Fuck all. It was just me basically doing bad bond gags. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed our wacky day
Starting point is 00:03:23 out in the woods last week. We had a lot of fun making it. We did have a lot of fun, but on a day like this, seriously, we'd probably become a cropper. We couldn't have done this today. It was 37 degrees.
Starting point is 00:03:32 I don't think we would have done a Walkabout episode on a day like this. Well, we probably would have. In my heart. Our next one, I want to be in the snow. That'd be great to have a walkabout.
Starting point is 00:03:41 I want to crunch and crumble in the snow with you today. We should do some winter walks. Have we done that before? No, not properly. The worst we can call it was when we did the... No, what's his name? The Bernard Cribbins thing.
Starting point is 00:03:54 What? Why did that make you laugh? Because you're foreshadowing who's going to turn up later in this episode. I know. You can't help it. I can't. And also, you're conflating. Dangerous Davies.
Starting point is 00:04:05 You're conflating a real... Oh, no, they're both fictional characters. Yes, of course. Strictly speaking. So... Anything else? Wait, you've thrown me off. So the windows are open, so apologies for the noise.
Starting point is 00:04:16 The windows are open. We're getting a breeze through. It's a hot day. Hot day. Very hot. Tickets are on sale for the live show. They're going out quick, though. You've got to get your hands on them.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Lickety split. Is that true? Or are you just trying to get people to buy? Ashen's did a little advert for us. We've had a little bit of a bump since then. Oh, excellent. That's lovely. So thank you, Mr. Stuart Ashen.
Starting point is 00:04:32 I did want to mention one thing, because we didn't put it in the episode last week. But if you, as we say, want to bring any merch from the various stores online, we'll sign it on the night of the live show, right? And as of last week, we've had an exclusive new piece of art
Starting point is 00:04:45 made by an artist friend of mine called Spunkrock, which is great. That's not their actual name, though. It's their artist, Nom de Pleur. Is that how you say it? Nom de Plume. Plume. I once fell on a railing,
Starting point is 00:04:55 and now I'm Nom de Plume. What do you mean? You've lost me plums. Has he got a plume up your quim? No. I've got a quim. Right. Here, rub my quim with your plume.
Starting point is 00:05:03 Shut up. Oh! Oh! Oh! Calm down. So, I want to distract people's attention to that piece of art, because it's amazing. And if you want to get it on a T-shirt or a canvas or a print, you can go to Spunk Rock on Instagram, Redbubble, or Etsy.
Starting point is 00:05:19 All the information will be on our website, but also the metadata for this episode. When you look in your app, they'll have links to those shops there if you want to get any of that art and it's fantastic so you know please do and also there's tony's special 300 art as well again amazing piece of art get it on a t-shirt bring it along we'll sign it uh get it from their bubble sites red bubble sites and we will we will program ourselves to get it on our website dot com dot com dot com you see that is what happens when i leave it naturally for you to stop speaking paul that is what happens that was bad

Exactly! Because you didn't give me a chance To respond naturally to you The artwork by Spunk Rock Oh yes
Starting point is 00:06:13 Yeah Eli is coherent Eli does make sense If you let him fucking talk With some regularity You know that whole confrontation You were so fucking eager To get your fucking head around

Starting point is 00:06:37 I don't like your tone. You look like a bag of multicoloured beanbags in a stack. Why have you decided to attack me? The other point I wanted to make about merch, yeah? Don't you remember you were going to order me a cheap show t-shirt yeah remember when I said I've decided which one

Starting point is 00:14:49 And there's clues that are like a McGrounder. And we used to go up on the McGrounder all the time. That's what we called it. Poppycock. And Don Tootin. Fluff Willows. And Fanny Me Lightleys. And that's where language disappeared.

Starting point is 00:15:55 Right. So shall we just finally roll on and get these drinks drunk? What a selection he's made. What a selection. Now, we'll reveal them can by can rather than reveal all now. I'll pull out the first can then, shall I? Let's get our first one done, shall we? And this is, what have we got today?
Starting point is 00:16:09 This is Wonder Farm. That's the company. Bird's Nest brand white fungus. Wait, what does that even... This is a... You just said a bunch of words that have no relation to each other. Wonder Farm. What does it say?
Starting point is 00:16:20 Wonder Farm. Wonder Farm. Bird's Nest white fungus. That sounds like a doctor's complaint. What's wrong with me, doctor? Crusty curtain fungus. What's wrong with me, doctor? Well, you've got Wonder Farm Bird's Nest White Fungus.
Starting point is 00:16:32 How do I get rid of that? Oh, there's no cure for that. Not even leeches? No. Oh, well, that's old-timey, isn't it? You'll have that pus coming down your legs all the rest of your life. Rolling, a rolling pus. Doctor, my penis
Starting point is 00:16:45 looks like a melting arctic roll. That's a very terrible plum. It looks like someone's half-squeezed a cream horn. A charming little logo with a windmill, old-timey windmill. I don't know why that keeps coming up. This is Vietnamese, Paul. Right, so what kind of drink
Starting point is 00:17:06 is it I'm drinking? Can you guess where I picked it up? In a Vietnamese drink shop. Which one though? I don't know. The one that sells the stubby Red Bull. Right, of course. The one you're in the pocket for. Stubby Vietnamese Red Bulls, which are fucking great. We're not sponsored by Red Bull. I just need to point that out. They wouldn't want to, nor
Starting point is 00:17:22 would we. This must be some kind of traditional Vietnamese drink. What kind of drink base drink is it? I have no idea. I haven't opened it yet. Okay, so this is a voyage of discovery
Starting point is 00:17:31 for both you and me. We should use the ice with these. I'm pre-chilling our glass. But we shouldn't have ice with this drink, I think, just because we want to use the ice
Starting point is 00:17:39 for the other soft drinks. No, no. We could keep it in this tin. Yeah, do that. He's putting in our new cheap show cocktail shaker that we used in the Twitch feed that he's just chopped off the floor and spilled all the ice drinks. No, no. We could keep it in this tin. Yeah, do that. Right, he's putting in our new cheap show cocktail shaker
Starting point is 00:17:45 that we used in the Twitch feed that he's just chopped on the floor and spilled all the ice everywhere. Because guess what, ladies and gentlemen? He's a fat-handed toad of a man.
Starting point is 00:17:54 Oh, no! Oh, mate. Do you know how horrible it is to, on the hottest day of the year, watch a man spill ice? There's going to be all pubis on it
Starting point is 00:18:03 and everything. Don't get it from the carpet. Take it from the floorboards. I'm going to have to get more ice. There's going to be all pubis on it and everything. Don't get it from the carpet. Take it from the floorboards. I'm going to have to get more ice. We'll taste this and I'm going to have more ice. Have you got more ice? Yeah. Well, then we're all right.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Yeah, that's what I mean. I've got big... We've got two big bags of it, mate. Right, we've got two big bags of ice. Well, we've got one big bag now. Well, we have one big bag now. You have to translate because you're not on mic. That was the end of that bag. Well. That was the end of that bag.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Well, that was the end of that bag. And now he's just put his knee right on some ice. You dozy off-wit. Shut up! You fucking boxing-gloved-handed meat monster. Shut up, fucking boxing-gloved-handed. I'm getting so fat now that there's only one thing. You rhino-trotted beast.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Right. Come on. Right, good. Yes, now pour the other glass ice into that without spilling it. Or shall I do it? Do you want to just save that one? Is water going to drink out of then? We need two glasses, don't we?
Starting point is 00:19:00 No, just put that in there. Oh God, this is so protracted. You got your glass? Yes, that one. So we're going to have the bird spunk fungus farm drink. I want to make it clear to everyone,
Starting point is 00:19:14 there is no, no, it says white fungus and that is the only word, that word white, that you are assuming that this is spunky and something. And fungus.
Starting point is 00:19:21 What has spunk got to do with fungus? No, but it looks a bit like it, doesn't it, when it rests on the top of the toilet water? Too much detail there, Paul. Even for me. When you mix oil and water.
Starting point is 00:19:32 I don't spunk into the toilet bowl. Who does that? I've done it. It's not the gracious way to go, but it's efficient. That level of detail. It's efficient, isn't it? No stress, no mess. That's really grimmed me out. You've just got to make sure you pinch the tip as it comes out but it's efficient just the detail that level of detail it's efficient isn't it oh god no stress
Starting point is 00:19:45 that's really grimmed me out you've just got to make sure you pinch the tip as it comes out so it doesn't just go on the backboard of your toilet seat
Starting point is 00:19:51 happy days are here again right I'm opening the white fungus right open it you pour yours first so I don't have to have any in my glass oh no he's sniffing it
Starting point is 00:20:01 very cardboardy huff right strange it's ortho earthy but but it's not as sweet. No. Now, describe the fluid. Discus, it is. Oh, it just looks a little bit like clear.
Starting point is 00:20:12 It's got blobs in, I presume? Yeah. All right, I want less than that. Have you seen that? It really looks like spunk. It looks like every glass in your bedroom right now. It looks like spunk so badly. Flo now. It looks like smoke so badly. Floaters.
Starting point is 00:20:26 It's floaters in the hall of mystery. It's my toilet water drink. I'm going to pour my own. No. I'm not having that much in it. You don't have to drink it all. I'll pour it in. All right.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Do you know what I mean? Do you? A little bit. Just so you can taste it properly. That's it. That's it. Well, it's not, you know. Oh, mate.
Starting point is 00:20:44 This smells like stagnant water it's kind of cardboardy yeah i'm not i'm smelling sugar i can't smell i'm smelling a bit of sugar there i bet it's a bit of candied something so what this is it's like a like a type of drink that they have in the east like tapioca balls yeah they're like lumpy drinks it's a lumpy drink it has the popularity of bubble tea is nice to see, but I can't fathom it. This is like that, isn't it? This is a sort of
Starting point is 00:21:08 fungus bubble tea sort of thing, I think. Hello, doctor. You need to take a photo of it as well. You've got fungus bubble tea, mate. That's what you've got. Massive taste of it all over your balls.
Starting point is 00:21:18 I'll taste some. And how's that gone for you? Taste it. You have to taste it. Why do I have to taste it now that you've made those horrible fucking noises? You taste it, it's fine.
Starting point is 00:21:25 It's not that bad. It's quite bad. Oh, what is that? I need some notes from you here, Paul. Here's one. No, okay, so I'm getting sweet,
Starting point is 00:21:37 like, almost like a sweetness sweet. Yeah, artificial sweetness. And it's got like, it's slightly thicker than water. Yes, so it kind of, the word is gloopy. It sloops over the tongue. Yeah, it sweetness. And it's got like, it's slightly thicker than water. Yes, so it kind of...
Starting point is 00:21:46 The word is gloopy. It sloops over the tongue. Yeah, it's gloopy. It's very gloopy. And the gloopy bits aren't the worst thing about it. It's got a very watery, plankton-y kind of sweetness. Yes, there's a sort of vegetative flavour, which is the mushroom, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:21:59 It's sort of woody almost. Do you know what I mean? A vegetable woody. Hasn't given me a woody. But do you know what I mean about the end flavour? The flavour of the actual mushroom is sort of vegetal and earthy almost. You know what I mean? A vegetable woody. Hasn't given me a woody. But you know what I mean about the end flavour? The flavour of the actual mushroom is sort of vegetal and earthy almost.
Starting point is 00:22:08 You know what I'm getting at? That's what I mean about the cardboardiness. But it has looked like someone has just fucking goffed their lube into your drink. And it really is the texture
Starting point is 00:22:16 of someone who's goffed some lube into your drink. Goffed some lube! To be honest, I'd rather drink a shot of... Goff some lube. Oh, mate.
Starting point is 00:22:27 Oh, fucking hell. It's terrible blue balls. I'm just going to nip into the lube, goff my lube into the fucking sink. Fucking goff my lube. Oh, you know when you goff all the floats on the surface and it looks like white fungus water? What, did you get in the Viet Namese shop?
Starting point is 00:22:41 Right, how are you rating this? I've goffed my lube all up the wall. This is a D minus for me. No, you need to... Juicy Jeremy told me we need marks out of five. We need to write them down. Tell me back.
Starting point is 00:22:51 We won't remember what we gave him. I'd never give anything a zero unless I'm drinking paint. So that's a one. I did not like that either. It's not satisfying. I can...
Starting point is 00:23:00 I know culturally it's a different vibe. But for me, there's too much going on that pushes me away from it. I'll just give one last breakdown. The texture is weird and sort of lumpy, goopy. It's like...
Starting point is 00:23:12 Slightly slimy? Like glue paste or something, that kind of texture. Watery, gloopy. Did you take a photo of the floaters? I've done a photo of the floaters. And then you've got this artificial sweetness at top, and then a kind of the floaters? I've done a photo of the floaters. And then you've got this artificial sweetness at top, and then a kind of very subtle, almost not very strong, kind of fungal, woody, earthy taste at the end.
Starting point is 00:23:32 Yeah. Yeah. It's like foresty. Yeah, a bit foresty at the end, yeah. Okay, I will give it half a point. I'm going to come down to you and give you half a point. Well, that means mine's gone up to one, has it? Hello, I am half a point.
Starting point is 00:23:44 And I arrive when someone only gets half a point. And then I say, good day to you. And then I leave. I'm glad that's over with. Goodbye. You'll never hear of me again. We really won't as well. Wow, what an interesting brief character.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Put that on your cheap show wiki. Right, so let's go on to the next drink. Right? No, but hang on. Yeah? Yeah, let's go on to the next drink. no but hang on oh yeah yeah yeah let's go on to the next drink drink drink well that was fucking shit that was awful next well at least we got out of the way yes that i i purposely front loaded that one because i did not want to end on that note
Starting point is 00:24:19 did you top load it i think we top loaded it yeah dancing in the moonlight that was the one hit and that's a cover in it yes it was a sort of 70s disco sort of yeah isn't it although i'm getting confused midnight at the oasis that's midnight at the oasis that's uh maria mariah more more midnight at the oasis what's she called maria i don't remember now i don't remember nor do i remember who redid it in the in the 90 And then now we did Top Loader. Has Todd in the Shadows done a... Which is Dancing in the Moonlight,
Starting point is 00:24:48 which is a cover, right? It is a cover, Dancing in the Moonlight. Yes, but has Todd in the Shadows done a one-hit Wonderland about that? He did. No, you get what you give. And that's a different band, isn't it? That's...
Starting point is 00:24:56 You got a music in you. The Second Prophets, they call it or something. New Radicals. New Radicals. There we go. Join us next week on Cheap Show Radio. We'll half remember our playlist.
Starting point is 00:25:07 Now, the next drink on our agenda today. We've got to get through them. The ices are melting. The glasses are cooling. The heat is arising. Let's get the next drink on.
Starting point is 00:25:15 You're starting to sound like GC Jeremy yourself then. Oh, hello, boys. Shut up. I'm Thirsty Philip. Oh, no. And I like drinks. Not an alternative character.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Oh, boys. I'm just looking for my I like drinks. Not an alternative character. Oh, boys. I'm just looking for my good friend and chum, Juicy Jeremy. Well, he's not here at the moment. What was your name again? Shucks. That upsets me. Oh, Thirsty Philip. Oh, I see.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Thirsty Phil. Yeah. Yeah, that's what my friends call me. You're not my friend yet. Good. Could you just wait with all the other secondary characters? They hang out and there's a... He asked me to come by and help him lift some heavy things.
Starting point is 00:25:51 He was trying to get rid of. Okay, Phil, that's great. If you could wait with the other secondary characters in the... Over there. It's a kind of man den, sort of bat cave sort of thing. There's a guy over there called Arthur Point. Shall I stand next to him? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Okay, bye-bye, boys. And, you know, the club is run by adolescent Sasquatch, who, you know, so maybe you see him. Oh, yeah, come on in. Yeah, go in. We're hanging out in here. We're having a party in the hot pool. They're all hanging out there.
Starting point is 00:26:14 We're having a pool party. Join us. Can't come John there if you like pirates. I want to join their party. They're cool. Mate. The second, the pretend characters are the same. Captain Blue Balls is a top-tier character now.
Starting point is 00:26:24 He's not in there. I know, I'm just saying, don't you put Balls is a top tier character now. He's not in there. I know, I'm just saying, don't you put him in there. It's copy characters. It's the copy character. Oh yeah, the reply characters. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:32 So what is the next drink? Sorry, we keep derailing this. I was enjoying that. That was all. Red Bull coffee. Oh, interesting. Now,
Starting point is 00:26:39 where'd you get this from? I bought this from that place in Dalston where they have all the great variations. They have all different... But there's no Red Bull coffee in existence already, like you can get in a Tesco's or something.
Starting point is 00:26:53 There's never been a release like this, as far as you know. Now, this is what... It's quite interesting to me. I think this is a trend within energy drinks, and I believe Monster Espresso I remember seeing years ago. Oh, God, that sounds horrible. So Monster have done cold brew and espresso. Right. So I think this is Red Bull responding to that, basically.
Starting point is 00:27:10 But just don't. And of course, Coke famously did a coffee one. Do you remember? Yeah, that was horrible as well. That was horrible. Everything's horrible. If it's just cold coffee, if it is just a cold coffee.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Like a Starbucks takeaway cup thing. Then I can accept that. Do you know what I mean? It's just a cold coffee. But if it's just a cold coffee like a Starbucks takeaway cup thing then I can accept that do you know what I mean it's just a cold coffee but if it's a syrup thing are they yeah are they mixing a Red Bull flavour
Starting point is 00:27:31 with a coffee flavour we're just about to find out we're just going to have to find out right now now should we save the ice for the future drinks I think we should save them for the future drinks
Starting point is 00:27:38 I think they're going to need them for the last lot so I don't think we're going to need we're not going to need ice for this one I don't think fine I'll get it cracked open right so it's cracked open. He's pouring it out now into his glass.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Oh, what's the snuff? Quite a vanilla-y, coffee-y, like an artificial coffee huff. And remember, snuff is for drinks, huff is for crisps. Oh, and it looks like Coke. Oh, okay. It's carbonated, like Red Bull, but it looks exactly like Coca-Cola. I did not expect that, doesn't it? We actually didn't expect that, did we?
Starting point is 00:28:02 Oh, there's a very sweet coffee artificial sort of coffee flavor that coffee flavor that you get in revels that artificial does doesn't it taste smell just like yeah it is it is that coffee filling in a bag of revels this might be okay see we're gonna find out oh that's just nothing but sweet though really extremely sweet it's got coffee notes at the back but up front it's just really sweet. Really sweet. But in that sugar way, not in an artificial way. No, it's in that Coke made with real sugar. I like this. Not Coke made with whatever.
Starting point is 00:28:31 I think I may have got this actually in the Vietnamese store as well, because it's got Vietnamese on the back. You're in the fucking pocket of Red Bull. Stop it. Stop pimping them. I think I did get it there, actually. There are other energy drinks available. This is good.
Starting point is 00:28:41 I like this. I don't know where I stand on this. I don't hate it. I think it's fine but I think it's maybe too sweet for me. It's very sweet with that artificial
Starting point is 00:28:50 coffee flavour. There's no real coffee flavour there. Do you know what I mean? No, but that's all at the back. It's that caramel that sort of, you know,
Starting point is 00:28:56 like a revel. That's the only way I can describe it. It's like a Pepsi at the front and a revel at the back which is a sex act. So, there you go.
Starting point is 00:29:03 There is your Red Bull coffee. I'm kind of... It's not a huge miss, is it? If it was generous, I'd say it was a three, but only just. Maybe 2.5. Well, what do you want?
Starting point is 00:29:13 Three or 2.5? I'm going to go 2.5. I don't love it, but there's nothing to hate about it. It's just too sweet. I can't... I don't find it refreshing. If that was colder,
Starting point is 00:29:21 I could down one of those. Colder, yeah. Honestly, I could. I could go the whole way. I think being considerably colder would help. Yeah, which is hard on a day like this to get that. But the carbonation wasn't too bad. It had a bit of fizz. A little bit, but that went real quick.
Starting point is 00:29:34 That went quick as well. And then you're just left with the syrup. On a normal Red Bull, the fizz goes pretty quick as well. Yeah, but you don't mind with that for some reason. I don't know why there's a difference. I see what you mean, yeah. So you're going to go through... It's an acceptable loss.
Starting point is 00:29:45 2.5? It's an acceptable loss. 2.5? It's an acceptable loss. Halfway? 2.5? 2.5. I think if you're interested in this as a drink, it's certainly worth... I'm going to pump mine up to 3.25 for that. 3.25?
Starting point is 00:29:55 Now, are we allowed to do 2.5? Mate, it's our show. We can do whatever the fuck we want. Is it? Yeah, have you not noticed? No. I can say go on this whole extended sort of... I have this guy who stands behind me when I edit
Starting point is 00:30:04 and he tells me exactly what to do. What does look like i don't really see his face when i turn he's not there but when i think he's there when i'm when i'm facing the computer he's there but when i turn he's not there what does his voice what does his voice sound like it sounds like kind of like the rolling of thunder right good i'm good i'm glad we've uh broached and i smell like i smell this kind of like you smell like sulfur like a sulfur like a burning
Starting point is 00:30:27 like a burning forest kind of smell yeah does he offer you a bag of dicks no nothing like that he's just always there
Starting point is 00:30:35 and he just tells me what to edit right I think his name's Brian right are we ready for the next the next
Starting point is 00:30:43 yes Brian no he's talking to you now, is he? Yeah, right. Oh, he's gone. Stop inventing things. He's gone. Stop making stuff up. We're made to be drinking.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Weird. Right. That's the end of the segment. Next, we've got a little special effect. It's easy for me to edit. Put the special effect in, mate. Now, which one would you like? Actually, I'll let you have a choice.
Starting point is 00:31:03 What choice do I have? You've got, like like the cash till. Police car. It's hot in the city. It is hot in the city. It's hot in the city tonight. It seriously is. Got the cash register.
Starting point is 00:31:18 They've got the ATM machine giving out money. The casino machine doing a payout. The spinning coin. Let's have the payout. You want the ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, kind of sound. Are you going to just
Starting point is 00:31:28 inspire me? No, no, I'll definitely put it in for you right now. Oh, now I'm really fucking torn. No, I will put it in because I like the flow of it. Okay, good. Here is Eli's choice
Starting point is 00:31:37 of sound effect. And now it's time for our third drink. Now, funnily enough, this is hot, hot off the press on a hot, hot day. Because someone sent us a picture of it. Was it Channel 84? Sent us a picture of this. And it's another one of those Coke things.
Starting point is 00:31:59 What's it called? The Coke... Have we been sent a picture of this already? Yes. I didn't notice that because this is the first one I've seen. I surprised you, didn't I? Because a few weeks ago, we did the Coca-Cola intergalactic flavour, which didn't do much for us.
Starting point is 00:32:12 We can say that. Oh, it was terrible. Terrible. So this is their whole bid to do a sort of digital takeover of the meta space. It's something like that because the whole brand of this is called Coca-Cola Creations. So I get the idea is every few months or so they're going to roll out a new limited edition flavoured Coke based on a pop artist
Starting point is 00:32:32 or trend or something meta space. Some kind of collaboration. Someone gets paid. Some creative gets paid a lot. And I'm presuming like the other one, you can scan this and see a virtual concert by Marshmello who I believe is a dance act. Oh, that's his music. It's dance.
Starting point is 00:32:46 Yeah, it's like EDM, isn't it? He's the man who wears a big Marshmello head on his head. That's a big trend in recent years for dance acts to have a big head on. Like Daft Punk. They started it, I guess. Who's that? Is it Mouse? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Yeah. Uber Mouse. I don't know who did it first. Super Mouse. I guess the first person to do it was Frank Sidebottom, when you think about it. Yes, but he wasn't... It was a different genre, wasn't it? So, yes.
Starting point is 00:33:03 No, so, I was in Tesco. I was on the way in. I'd seen that tweet. It was in the back of my head it? So, yes. So, I was in Tesco's on the way in. I'd seen that tweet. It was in the back of my head. I thought, oh, it'll be weeks before we see that. Went to get a meal deal. Oh, look. It's Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, the Artist Marshmallows Limited Edition.
Starting point is 00:33:17 Creations, no calorie, watermelon, strawberry-flavoured Coca-Cola. Which seems strange, that you have an artist called Marshmallow, and then you don't do a Marshmallow flavoured Coke. Well, maybe he sat down in the meeting and went, oh, the idea I've got
Starting point is 00:33:29 because of Marshmallow is maybe vanilla. And they went, well, we did that. Vanilla Coke's a thing, yeah. We did that. Maybe that's right, yeah. What else have you got?
Starting point is 00:33:35 I don't know, like brown sugar, maybe something like, I don't know, like Candy Rock. We're thinking watermelon and strawberry. Because we've just been developing this chemical. And would you like to put
Starting point is 00:33:44 your name on this one and make the tin white this time? But do you know what I mean? There's a sort of sloppiness about not matching the flavour to anything that's relevant. I mean, maybe Marshmallow really wanted to try a watermelon-strawberry flavoured Coke. But do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:33:56 There's a sort of sloppiness about the whole presentation with this. I thought the same with the Cosmic as well. There was no connection. No, but the idea is you drink the drink, you scan the barcode, you go to the website, you see the virtual concert in augmented reality, and then you go, I look forward to the next one, even though this drink was a bit piss.
Starting point is 00:34:13 This will be awful. It's about engagement, isn't it? You're engaging with your website. Yes, but you're trying to make your brand of sugar water into a sort of social media entity. Strictly speaking, they are doing the right thing. They're reaching out to an audience
Starting point is 00:34:27 who aren't familiar with TV or radio and where are they going to go? Online, websites, their smartphones. Weird. It's sinister. It's not sinister. It's just the way that
Starting point is 00:34:35 we're old men and this is just the way of the world and you know what? It's not for us to say what the younger generation can do to express themselves. Yeah, but that's not what this is. Anyway, I walked past the Coca-Cola clothing store
Starting point is 00:34:48 the other day in Covent Garden. I didn't know there was one. Yeah, they do. Just branded clothes with Coke on it. People walking out, buying a Coca-Cola jumper. If it's a T-shirt of the 90s Cherry Coke logo, I'm tempted. You'd wear that, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:00 I like that weird aesthetic. No, it's all very much sort of modern. Just lots of red shit. And the logo on this special edition is all drippy. Drippy. And he looks like the top of a spray can, though, doesn't he? I hadn't even thought about that. He does.
Starting point is 00:35:15 Maybe it's a graffiti artist. No, I don't think. I don't know. We're just showing our age right now. Marshmallow definitely a music thing. Yes, because I've seen him do sets and things at festivals. So we've got to open it. I don't have high hopes
Starting point is 00:35:27 and you've expressed that this is sugar free we should say as well. Yeah, so I've already got that against it. But the sniff is I actually quite like it. It smells like piney.
Starting point is 00:35:35 No, it smells of pine. No, to me this smells like Blackpool Rock. Oh, and has a yeah, and has a boiled sweet. Right. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:35:43 There's a lemony piney. No, there is. It's a lighter, fresher smelling. Oh, and there's a bit of vanilla in there. That smells a lot better than the Cosmic stuff already. Nice fizz to it. Nice and brown. Nice brown drink.
Starting point is 00:35:53 You usually don't like strawberry-flavoured things. We're going to find out. Or watermelon, especially watermelon. It's not that I hate them, I'm just not fond of them. I recently bought a shitload of Hi-Chew strawberry candy because Tesco was selling for 50p a pack. Yeah, because it's Hi-Chew. Yeah, everything. We love Hi-Chew strawberry candy because the Tesco's were selling for 50p a pack. Yeah, because it's Hi-Chew. Yeah, everything.
Starting point is 00:36:06 We love Hi-Chew. It looks identical to the Red Bull coffee, doesn't it? Just giving it a snuff. Coke-flavoured, Coke-coloured, rather. Down the hatch.
Starting point is 00:36:14 To me, that tastes like Diet Coke that someone has poured some floor cleaner into. I would definitely agree with you on that. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:36:21 I wasn't too fussed by it at the beginning. I thought the first gulp was quite nice. The smell is much better than the taste. It's very much like Diet Coke but there's an added
Starting point is 00:36:28 piney sort of artificial... Well, weirdly, I can't taste the watermelon but the strawberry seems to be a lot more vanilla-y. Yeah. But it's too sweetener flavoured.
Starting point is 00:36:37 It's got that sweetener tang that I fucking hate. Yeah, not good. Not good. And a real letdown from the smell which was quite pleasant in comparison to the taste,
Starting point is 00:36:44 wasn't it? Yeah, it just tastes weak. It tastes weak, but then there's an artificial pine. It just reminds me of pine cleaner. There's no watermelon there at all. And watermelon is very peach. It's quite noticeable. There's zero watermelon, you're right.
Starting point is 00:36:58 And there's a little bit of strawberry in there. But it's a very vanilla-y strawberry. The only way I get the strawberries is when I lick my lips afterwards or there's a bit of redness. You go, oh, yeah. Background strawberry, yeah. But there's no coconut vanilla-y strawberry. The only way I get the strawberries when I lick my lips afterwards or there's a bit of redness in them, you go, oh yeah. It's a sort of background strawberry, yeah. But there's no Coke notes there either as well. Mainly there's a Diet Coke sort of artificiality on the sweeteners that comes first
Starting point is 00:37:14 and then I've got a pine, a sort of cleaning fluid finish. You know what I mean? Plainly. Yeah, pledge. Yeah, there's a pledgeness to it. Pine pledge, not lemon pledge, pine pledge.
Starting point is 00:37:23 OG pledge. Was the OG brand was... Just pledge. Oh yeah not lemon pledge pine pledge OG pledge was the OG brand was just pledge oh yeah lemon pledge they put the lemon on remember in the 90s lemon went into everything it was like
Starting point is 00:37:32 now your fairy liquid's got lemon now we can have tea with lemon in lemon lemon lemon lemon lemon Britain went mad for lemon for no reason I do like
Starting point is 00:37:39 washing up liquid lemon I like the smell my favourite is washing up liquid apple oh yeah that's a good one. Yeah, no, that's fucking good shit. I can just huff the snuff from that bottle.
Starting point is 00:37:48 I mean, there's a lot of bad stuff in the world, Paul, but we do live in an era of unprecedented different flavours of stuff. There's weight. Look at me in a land of pure imagination. Flavour. Right, I don't hate that, I'll be honest. I did not like it. But there's nothing going on there.
Starting point is 00:38:04 I prefer the Red Bull coffee to that. It's more real. I'm just going to go ahead and say this. I wish they weren't sugar-free. Because if they weren't sugar-free, that might be way more palatable. Yeah. If it had proper cane sugar rather than high fructose. Whatever that shit is.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Because that sweetener taste is like poison to me every time. Yeah. I did not care for that. I'm going to go two. Yeah, two. Really? I'll settle with two. I don't hate it. I don't think it's awful. Give the Red Bull going to go two. Yeah, two. Really? I'll settle with two. I don't hate it.
Starting point is 00:38:27 I don't think it's awful. Give the Red Bull coffee a higher grade. Yeah. Okay. Because it's more interesting, that, really. Okay, yeah. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:34 I preferred the Red Bull coffee by a point and 0.25. Yeah. Are you getting all a bit of gaseous? I've got it. I've got a big bubble in my throat and it ain't coming out. Is it in your bum bum? No, it's not in my bum bum, is it? That just came out, sorry.
Starting point is 00:38:50 No, unfortunately, this bubble is. I want to burp, but I can't, and it really is beginning to affect my overall mood. Well, let's have a little sound effect. We'll have a little sound effect. Can I pick this one? Sure. What's my favourite one?
Starting point is 00:39:02 I want you to do a fucking job on yourself as the editor and fuck me over instead of playing a sound effect just play yourself going fuck off Paul now we can end hot damn summer

Starting point is 00:41:28 Jeremy's going to be back soon. He's going to want his scores. We've got this last batch and they're all on a theme because all these drinks are based upon the flavours of well-known confectionery, candy bars, sweets. We're starting in the UK! Alright, calm down.
Starting point is 00:41:44 Sorry, I'm interested. I'm lurching. Lurching around. Calm down. It's too hot to lurch. Yeing. Shut up. I'm on dad mode today.
Starting point is 00:41:53 You are on pure dad 100% mode. I do declare. He's dabbing his head with a dirty, dirty tea towel. Well, it's had my Chinese takeout mouthwipings on it. I've just stabbed my head with that. Can you smell some garlic? I can. Well, that's what that is.
Starting point is 00:42:12 I was hoist by my own baton. You certainly were. Now. I was trying to do, you know, like a southern lawyer. I do declare that my is clean. I don't know. Right. It's a short episode
Starting point is 00:42:28 this week, everyone. What's the word he's looking for? He's not defending his client. I do declare my client is not guilty. Is that really the best you could do? No.
Starting point is 00:42:37 Okay, no. Probably not. Actually, yeah. Now. Then. Now then. How about that then? Oh, guys and girls.
Starting point is 00:42:43 Eli, I can't believe you did a Jimmy Salchow joke. I didn't. That was not me. Everyone heard it was him. It was you, about that then? Aww, guys and girls. Eli, I can't believe you did a Jimmy Savile joke. I didn't. That was not me. Everyone heard it was him. It was you, didn't it? You said jingle jangle, jewellery, jewellery. I can't believe you today. Shut up for one moment, you knobjoy. Now, we've got two back... That was my favourite TV show
Starting point is 00:42:57 about an antiques collector, but he was only fascinated with dildos from history. Knobjoy! I'm sorry. Plaster cast, antique plaster cast phalluses, yeah? This one's a fake.
Starting point is 00:43:12 It snapped off when I stuck it right in my arse. Right. Good. Yeah, thank you. Nice image. Now, Ian McShane
Starting point is 00:43:22 with half a broken dildo hanging out of his arse. Maybe he could solve a mystery. If someone snapped the fucking dildo maybe he could be maybe he could like solve a solve a mystery because someone snapped the snaps off and then something comes out a letter falls out oh yeah or drugs yeah yeah they've been smuggling them in the dildos yeah yeah yeah tell you what fucking hell i've become a swear machine of a fucking dildo snapped off in my a-hole good now these products are made by barrett. I got these in Iceland. £1.50 for four.
Starting point is 00:43:49 These are spring-flavoured spring waters. So it's just water, flavoured water, but what's the flavours? Two of Barrett's favourite confectionery products from our childhood. Yes, the year. So Barrett make sweets, basically, and they're well-known for refreshers. Oh, for refreshers as well. So they're more traditional. like refreshers and oh for refreshers as well so they sort of traditional more traditional sweet sweet shop british sweet pick and mix kind of stuff yeah but they famously barrett did fruit salad and blackjacks which were this little
Starting point is 00:44:15 same format like a little chew it yeah format a little wrapped um fruit chew essentially and the blackjacks were aniseed flavor weren't they not Jacks were aniseed flavour, weren't they? Not licorice, aniseed. There's a slight difference. What could I have brought after the episode? High Chew Strawberry. Okay, good. Those are nice, aren't they? Shh, after.
Starting point is 00:44:35 50p only as well. 50p, we'll just get rid of them. Ching, ching, ching. Anyway, so... They were two quid about a year ago. At least something's going down. So Fruit Salad is kind of like a generic fruity chew. Fruity chew.
Starting point is 00:44:47 Tropical. And they're pink. And then we had blackjacks. Which were like licorice? No, I just said. They were an aniseed flavour. Oh, yes. Which is similar to licorice.
Starting point is 00:44:56 Yeah. But sweeter. I like blackjacks. I don't like the taste of licorice, but I do like the taste of aniseed. So I do like blackjacks. Blackjacks I find very very satisfactory over that whole family of flavours
Starting point is 00:45:08 like fennel yeah dill yeah all that stuff aniseed yeah star anise
Starting point is 00:45:14 star anus that was that Julie Garland film wasn't it a star anise a star is anus shut up I'm backing out of that
Starting point is 00:45:24 I'm leaving out of that. I'm leaving that on the table for you. I really don't like licorice. What is your feeling? I like licorice, but I like rope licorice. You like all of those flavours then. I don't like the soft licorice, salt licorice, but I do like the rope licorice, you know, the thick stuff that's very kind of... Yeah, I don't know the taste of licorice.
Starting point is 00:45:38 What's the word? Fabric. So we've got a fruit salad flavoured still spring water. Yes. What kind of fascinates me about this is when these flavored waters came out a good 10 years ago must have been at least now yeah they were all very much on the health tip like you know zero sugar it was volvic or whatever you know natural spring water yeah but now it's just all sugar tax means we can't be asked so here's some sweetener shit
Starting point is 00:46:01 for you instead this is much more down market question is, how much will they taste like the snack, the confectionery that they claim to taste like? Just to cover all the bases on this, Paul, we have a fruit salad one, and we also have a Wham bar flavoured one. Well, I'll tell you what, I'll start with fruit salad, while you start with Wham, and then we'll swap, all right? I'm going to put this over some ice myself. Would you like some ice to pour this onto?
Starting point is 00:46:23 Yes, why not? Just a few knoblets. There we go. That'll do nicely. Right, I'm just going to unscrew the cap because it has a sippy tip. Whambars have changed their recipe. They used to be teeth pullingly tough. Remember, proper whambar.
Starting point is 00:46:37 And this is something here. What does it say that is the flavour of the fruit salad? It says raspberry and pineapple flavour still spring water, which is... I never knew that was the makeup of what fruit salad was meant to be. It does smell like it, to be fair. Giving it a hoof. Wham!
Starting point is 00:46:52 Do you know what flavor wham is? Raspberry. Oh, interesting. And this is what? Raspberry and pineapple. So you're going to have similar flavors. Yeah. Have a snuff of yours before you pour it out.
Starting point is 00:47:02 Because this one smells like fruit salad. I will say that for it. Ooh. What? What is that reminding me of? Raspberry? God, that's strong. Yeah, but it's really artificial tasting.
Starting point is 00:47:11 It says no artificial. So you are tasting the fruit salad one. Here we go. These are sugar-free, right? Which is not good. Have you tasted it now? It's unremarkable. Does it smell like fruit salad? It smells like it, but the taste
Starting point is 00:47:26 isn't really there. It's kind of weak. So is this. Yeah. Yeah, I've always found these flavoured waters disappointing. That's okay. It's not unpleasant, but I can't really look, if someone said what flavour snack bar, what flavoured confectionery bar this is, I would just say, I don't
Starting point is 00:47:42 know, fucking. Alright, shall we swap over then, see if there's any difference we can detect. I'm handing you the Wham Bar now. I'm handing you the fruit salad. God, that's such an artificial flavour. And it says there's no artificial flavours, but the smell is so artificially.
Starting point is 00:47:59 Does that smell like a Wham Bar? Kind of. Because you know Wham Bars had that popping candy kind of stuff in it. I can see where they're going with with the smell of it. It's just such an artificial
Starting point is 00:48:07 Like a very tart raspberry. Yeah, but it's very familiar and very artificial don't you think? It smells better than that. It does actually. It's that artificial pineapple I'm getting is the main note on this.
Starting point is 00:48:17 Yeah, but that flavour's lost. When you actually drink it. Yeah, I'm going to go in for the drink of this. So you're tasting the wham now. What do you think? It's almost the exact same flavour. Yeah, that's what I suspected would be the case. I'm going to go in for the drink of this. So you're tasting the Wham now, what do you think? It's almost the exact same flavour. Yeah, that's what I suspected
Starting point is 00:48:27 would be the case. I'm going to taste now the fruits. There's very little. I mean, I can taste the pineapple and it makes it worse. I think I prefer the Wham. What do you think? I don't know. I prefer the Wham because now smell this after tasting the Wham. It's much, that pineapple's jumping out now. The artificial pineapple. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:48:44 you're right. Without the ice, the ice I kind of think takes away some of the flavor yeah have a sip from the bottle i have a sip from this one they are very similar it's that raspberry tartness well that's the same thing it's the raspberry flavor in both of them that's just got something else as well the the fruit salad i'm gonna give that a two as well then frankly i wouldn. I wouldn't go out of my way for one of those. Do you know what I mean? Maybe one and a half. One and a half. There's nothing wrong with them, but they're just weak raspberry drinks, really, ultimately.
Starting point is 00:49:12 If you had to boil it down. Yeah. With the sweetener aftertaste like every fucking drink has here. Yeah, but it's not a real... To be fair to them, it's not like a really strong sweetener artificial drink. It's not as bad as the others we've had today. It's not as bad. But here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:49:23 So far, the Red Bull and Coke, which I'm not enamored with, still had that nice syrup. It had that sort of real sugar feel. It doesn't have that. If that had had a sweetener aftertaste, that would just be vile, I think.
Starting point is 00:49:33 A little update on the Red Bull coffee. I've discovered it is produced in Thailand for export only. Didn't you say that already? I think I sort of suggested it might be Vietnamese, but it's not. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:49:42 Well, now we know. So what are you going to give those drinks? I'm giving it one and a half. For both? Yeah. You're not going to distinguish between them? No. One and a half for both, really. Alright, so what we've got. Fruit salad. You give one and a half.
Starting point is 00:49:55 And I will give the fruit salad 1.5 as well. Alright, okay. Long way around to get to that fucking result. And then I'm going to give that a slightly different score oh which one
Starting point is 00:50:07 the wham one wham I thought it was nicer I have to say just a better flavour just a sort of more clear okay
Starting point is 00:50:14 I'm going to go 1.75 I mean it's marginal fine so on to our final drink then in the
Starting point is 00:50:20 candy bar to soda transformative drinking experience. We really have done a lot of soda, and I hope Jeremy's pleased. Well, we've done a lot of work for him today, so let's go and drink the last one. He's happy just sitting in his jallapy doing his crosswords. Oh, I can see. I saw him before.
Starting point is 00:50:34 He's out there, isn't he? He's talking to the man with the drill across the road, asking how fast it turns the drill and revolutions. He's a friendly chap. He asked if it could cut through bone and muscle as well. How did you hear all that from up here? Well, it was a while, wasn't it, while you were getting... You were out there talking to them.
Starting point is 00:50:49 No, I just listened from the window. Well, it doesn't really make sense. Well, the windows are open, remember, so... Yeah, it doesn't really make sense what you're saying there, does it? Of course it does. I think you're kind of over-egging the pudding. You've put an ostrich egg in this pudding. Fucking put an ostrich egg in your pudding.
Starting point is 00:51:02 Oh, ooh, I wish you would. Stop rubbing the mic. With your fucking face pudding. Oh, I wish you would. Stop rubbing the mic. Your fucking face rot. Oh, fuck off. Right. I'm tired now. Have you got some ice left in your thing? Yes.
Starting point is 00:51:13 All right, now, last drink. What do you know about Warheads? They're an American brand. They make super sour candies, usually boiled sweet type things, right? I think that's... Originally, I think they were hard, weren't they? Yes, Eli. They were hard. But they do make gummies as well. Probably, probably? I think that's... Originally, I think they were hard, weren't they? Yes, Eli.
Starting point is 00:51:26 They were hard. But they do make gummies as well. Probably. Probably. I couldn't say for sure, but why not? They may be sort of an extreme sort of brand. Yeah, I mean, they're not really, but they are sourer than most sweet.
Starting point is 00:51:34 I don't have much experience. To date, the sour... Don't they have an extreme sub-brand called Warhead Extreme? I think there is, yeah. I don't fucking know. But that's like saying King Supreme or something where it's like,
Starting point is 00:51:44 well, you've already said it's sour. How sour do you need it to be? King Supreme, everyone. Yeah, that's the point. I don't know what you're talking about. You're King. You can't be King Supreme. You're adding more and more to more titles.
Starting point is 00:51:56 Yeah. Meaningless further superlatives. Yes. That's what I'm saying. All right, King Supreme. So I'm just saying sour. I think it's quite extreme. It's like saying sour lemon. It's like, yeah. Yeah. It's saying, I think it's quite extreme. It's like saying, sour lemon.
Starting point is 00:52:05 It's like, yeah. Yeah. It's a tautology, is what you're saying. Yes, I'm very taut in my ology. Oh, you got an ology. Have a snuff of that. Do you remember that, Ed?
Starting point is 00:52:15 No. You got that ology. You do remember that. I'm choosing not to. It's Maureen Lipman. Yes. Who I will always remember as Maureen Camel Toe Lipman.
Starting point is 00:52:25 Maureen Creme. Yes. Who I will always remember as Maureen Camel Toe Lipman. Maureen Creme de Minge Lipman. Oh, nice. Creme de Minge. She said, oh, you got an ology. At least you got an ology. Oh, yeah. Okay, now I remember. Oh, it's a nice pink colour.
Starting point is 00:52:40 It's a very nice... Have you described what it is? Sour watermelon flavour. Warhead have now released a sour watermelon soft fizzy drink. It's part of a whole have you described what it is? Sour watermelon flavour. Warhead have now released a sour watermelon soft fizzy drink. It's part of a whole series.
Starting point is 00:52:47 I just grabbed this one can. It was at least, you know, like there was a strawberry, blueberry, it was a sour blueberry I believe as well.
Starting point is 00:52:54 It actually smells more like apple. Yeah. Not in a bad way, it just does. It's not a very strong huff on that is there?
Starting point is 00:53:00 No. Not an overwhelmingly strong huff. A nice Ghostbusters two slime pink colour again. I'm looking for a very tart sourness. How do you make a sour drink?
Starting point is 00:53:08 I mean, I know you can make... Citric acid. Yeah, but I'm saying in terms of fizz, you can't really do that because they work against each other. Do they? Yeah. Well, it's lost...
Starting point is 00:53:15 It's got some bubbles. Ooh. That is tart. Oh. That is tart, isn't it? I quite like that. It's weird. I think that tart comes from the fuzz it's given you. It's leaving like a fuzz in your mouth. Ooh, quite like that. It's weird. I think that tart comes from the fuzz it's given you.
Starting point is 00:53:26 It's leaving like a fuzz in your mouth. Oh, I like that. It's very lemony. If someone had said, oh, there's some fresh lemon juice in there or something, it's almost that tart, that level of tartness. It's like a softer. It's almost like it's got touches of orange in it or mandarin. You know one thing I'm not getting?
Starting point is 00:53:40 Watermelon. Yeah, at all. At all? Yeah, yeah. But it's the nicest drink we've had today. Easily, yeah. It's refreshing. It's got a decent flavour. It doesn't have a sweetener acetate. And it's the nicest drink we've had today easily yeah it's refreshing it's got a decent flavor and it's not no sickliness no sweetness shit no very nice and it has a it has a sour kind of like real lemonade feel yes that's exactly what i'm trying
Starting point is 00:53:57 to get at it's a sort of it's nice oh it's not world changing but it's it's nice enough i could do a whole can of that if i was thirsty put Put it that way. I think so, too. Easily. Ooh, I might try some... I might pick up the other ones, yeah. All right. Four. You've picked the number that I was thinking of. Yeah, four.
Starting point is 00:54:12 So, should I just get him out of the car, go out there and... Well, let's take a quick break and then we'll get him out of the car, all right? All right, sure.
