CheapShow - Ep 291: The Heat Is On
Episode Date: July 22, 2022If 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!

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...
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...
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
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
credits now
fine
credits now
right credits now
it's the hot opening
I hate you
and your fucking noodle posse
people love noodles
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.
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
in half
there could be some
of that Paul
also I'm hoping
for some kind of
confrontation
between
I don't know
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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
i have two things to say go on because you went on for so fucking long it's they're they're
meaningless see if you can make sense of this it reminds me of It's got a Big Trouble in Little China feel
What does?
Exactly!
Because you didn't give me a chance
To respond naturally to you
The artwork by Spunk Rock
Oh yes
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
What?
How about you get your head around my fist?
Blow him up your quom?
We calmed Tosspot.
Oh, come on.
I'm working on that.
Today, you look like a stack of beanbags.
Big shaft of beanbags.
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
oh good
well I'm fine
I asked you to do this
like a week ago

I was going to tell you today

with this week's episode
oh it's a hot day
Eli
I wish we had a friend who had drinks.
Oh, you know what we do?
Just get right in there.
Get right in.
Who has...
We really need an emergency soda delivery.
I'm eager.
I'm right in there.
We need...
I don't know.
He's probably on a lunch break or something,
and now he's back on the floor.
I don't know.
He's chopping his bricks.
Oh, do you know what this...
It's all right.
We're good now.
He's put his tool down.
Has he?
He's put his big tool down. You can see from here. He's put his tool down. Has he? He's put his big tool down.
You can see from here
that he's put his tool down.
I can see it.
So if a couple of homeless people
do decide to have a big row
over a wrap of heroin,
we'll have,
we could commentate.
No, we won't commentate.
Oh, you know what I once saw
was a lady taking a wee
behind a car,
not even behind a car.
She just pulled her pants down.
I could see directly down
onto her.
How long did you
watch it for
before you decided to slope it?
Yeah, great.
I can see her quam.
Shut up.
Nab, nab on the plumb.
Sorry.
Is that it?
Anyway, we're calling our friend.
It's so hot today. I'll set you up again.
It's so hot, Eli.
I would love to get my hands on some nice drinks.
You know what?
I've got nothing in.
I didn't prepare for this.
It wasn't like incessant news stories about how hot it was going to be.
I just ignored all of those.
I ignored all that too.
I've got nothing.
I've got no soft drinks to offer you.
And they said it's dangerous to have booze on a day like this.
I know.
We can't have booze.
We shouldn't have booze.
We're not going to have any booze.
I've got that mellow corn. If we wanted some booze. You do want it. I know, we can't have booze. So we shouldn't have booze. We're not going to have any booze. I've got that mellow corn.
If we wanted some booze, you do want it.
I can see.
Anyway, we've got no soda.
What are we going to do?
Well, oh.
I'm going to call Juicy.
Call Juicy Jeremy, see if he's in the area.
Oh, does Juicy Jeremy do a service?
Doesn't he do like an app called Deliver Juice or something?
Yes.
Didn't we use it once before as a gag?
And I'm vaguely remembering it now.
It's called Juicer.
Juicer.
Let's use Juicer right now.
I'll order it on the app. Okay. Oh, oh it says do i want to go to chat mode i can speak to speak to an operator now yeah
let's talk to an operative because we don't know what we want yet it's going easier probably i'm
going through okay hello juicy jeremy's soda pop emporium ohicy Jeremy. Oh, how can I help you, sir? My name is Paul Gannon. I run the very successful Cheap Show podcast.
Oh, my boy, my little boy.
We were wondering if you could...
Oh, Paul, hello, Paul.
I was wondering if you could...
Is that Eli there?
Yes, he's in the background.
Oh.
Being suspiciously silent.
How...
Is he feeling good?
How are you feeling?
I'm all right, Juicy Jeremy.
How are you feeling, Paul, my boy?
Well, I'm alright, but it's very hot.
There's a very high-pitched noise where you are.
Yeah, it's a man with a
saw cutting bricks up
to make a driveway. Never mind. How can I help you,
my boy, today? I've got
sody pops. I'll send you some sody pops.
Shut up. Shut up.
Yes, I'm hot and I want some
drinks. Can you bring some drinks that are maybe on your most interesting menu these days?
You know what, Paul, my boy?
For you, I sure can.
I've got all sorts of soda pops for you.
And you know what?
Yeah?
It's such a hot and sweltering day.
It's such a whole...
It's hotter than a cat in a hot tin roof today.
I'm tired of this.
It's hotter than a fried egg once you just cooked it.
Fucking hell.
Jesus, Rhett.
I'll tell you what I'll do for my boys, my favourite boys.
Yeah, you're going to come round and drop some drinks off.
I'll jump in the Jallapy.
All right.
I'll put the sodas in the back of my old Jallapy and I'll come over.
Oh, no, you don't have to come out of your way.
Just send one of your little delivery guys or something.
No, no, no, I don't mind.
I got a little delivery of my own to make at the dump before.
Oh, you're going to stop by the old dump then for a bit?
I've got to stop to make.
I've got to take care of something.
So you'll be about, what, 15 minutes?
Oh, yeah, I should be.
A quarter of an hour.
Alright, well then we'll just kick back and we'll wait
for you then. Oh, you're going to love these
sodas for you. And how's that business
with the gills on your back? Is that all cleared up now?
No, it's just teeth now. You got teeth?
Just a row of teeth. Oh.
Like coming out like a kind of, like a
lizard's spine almost. Oh.
I mean, it's nice. Very interesting.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, okay.
Mostly molars.
You got molars.
Yeah.
Got molars on me back.
Right.
I'll jump in the jalape.
Hot weather's not good for us, Eli.
I'll jump.
FYI.
I'll tell you what I'll do.
This drill's doing
my fucking head in now as well.
The thing is,
as I'm editing this
in the future,
I'm thinking I could cut it out
but then I lose the jokes
of us mentioning it
so now I've got to leave it in.
It's terrible.
This is a bad end.
Weren't we going to close that window over?
Well, we're long past that now.
I'm still here, by the way.
You can go.
I'll see you presently.
I'm closing the app.
Boop.
He's gone now, Eli.
So you can talk.
Let's begin the episode, all right?
Yeah, haven't we yet?
Well, we've got to wait 15 minutes,
and then when he comes, we can start recording again.
All right?
So let's just take a break.
So people know what's happening now with the episode?
Yeah, we're going to have some drinks.
It's an episode about drinks, everyone.
We're going to taste some very interesting...
Oh, here he goes again.
We give them too much time to get in with their drill.
This is going to go on forever now.
It's going to be all the way through the episode.
Is that acceptable?
I mean...
Should I just shout out the window something rude?
No, you can't stop them from doing it.
So I'll say, I'm Eli Silverman
and you're a horrible bunch
of fucking noisy cunts.
Come at me.
Come at me.
And then I'll leave.
And then what?
This is the flat number
and the address.
You think they'll come
and beat me up?
Yeah.
And I'll laugh.
They wouldn't do that.
I'll laugh.
So I'll lean out the window
and go,
Hello Eli.
Podcast Maverick.
You sound more and more
like Zippy out of Rainbow
every time you do that
It's always been Zippy
Has it?
It's always been Zippy
If I pulled back the curtain
Let's stop this segment
Before they get the drill
Going again
Too late
It's two drills
Oh no it's the same one
It just goes
No they've got two drills
They've got two now
Two drills
Right
Well we'll wait for Jeremy
We'll stop now
And wait for Juicy Jeremy
To arrive
Yes
I hope his jallopy
Hasn't got all that weird stuff on it
Like before
But bye everyone

See if he wants to pop in.
Oh, I'm looking forward to this.
Oh, hello.
Oh, hello, boys.
The boys.
Paul, great to see you.
Hello, Juicy Jeremy.
Thanks for popping by.
It's so good to see you, you little fella, too.
You little fella, you.
You little fella, Eli.
Oh, I got the sodas.
Should I put them down here?
Yes, please.
That would be lovely.
Such a big and varied basket of different soda pops for you today.
Well, we can't thank you enough.
Say what?
So, you are going to love these soda pops.
Oh, it looks like a nice selection.
As always, I have to have the scores from you boys.
You can wait around if you want while we go through.
You know, that thing I had to take care of at the dump.
Oh, on the way in, did you not?
I didn't manage to get it all completely taken care of.
Okay.
So I need just another five minutes up in the dump.
It's just up the road.
And I'll go there and I'll take care of that business once and for all. Okay. And then I can come back. Take me five minutes up in the dump. It's just up the road. And I'll go there and I'll take care of that business
once and for all.
And then I can come back.
Take me five minutes.
How long will you boys need?
Well, we're going to be a while,
so don't rush.
Don't rush it.
Oh, I'll just sit in my Jallapy.
You know what I got?
You've got AC on in there as well.
I've got a bumper book
of old-timey crossword puzzles.
Oh, nice.
And they have great...
The answers are old-timey words
that I know.
Like things like Jallapy.
Yeah.
You're not going to say anything racist, are you, Mr. Silverman?
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.
Right, so you can go then.
We'll get on with the drinks.
All sorts of old-timey answers.
We've had enough of this.
Roll on.
I'm hot.
Let's get through this.
Seriously, get through this.
A-chup me.
Do you ever heard of a-chup me?
A-chup me willow.
As Daniel Bedingfield once said, I've got to get through this.
So, bye.
Okay, so I'll come back.
Bye.
How long do you need? Half an hour. Okay, I'll come back bye how long do you need half an hour okay i'll come back i need

is that it?
Just like half pretending to be a crab is old man movement.
Oh, what a charming fella he is.
What a charming fella.
And he's helped you with your funny problem there as well, you know.
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?
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?
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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...
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?
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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...
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...
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
So what is the next drink?
Sorry,
we keep derailing this.
I was enjoying that.
That was all.
Red Bull coffee.
Oh, interesting.
Now,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
and he just tells me
what to edit
right
I think his name's
Brian
right are we ready
for the next
the next
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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
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?
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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

Renditions
Rendition
Interpretation
Of the song.
And I think it will go down in the history of music,
you know,
like Jimmy Hendrix,
his version of Dylan's all along the watchtower.
Yeah.
That's what I was thinking of when I was composing this.
I,
I,
I just,
I think we should start this bit again.
I think we should.
It was really bad.
I like it.
It's not the back of your hand getting gritty.
It's the back of my neck.
Back of my neck getting sweaty.
Sweaty gritty.
Sweaty gritty.
Sweaty gritty.
Sitting sweaty gritty.
Sweaty gritty time.
That's my new fragrance.
Sweaty gritty.
Eli Silverman's Sweaty Gritty.
Eli Silverman.
Sweaty gritty.
Yeah, I like it.
Oulé for pon.
Have I ever been to the sea?
Papa.
Papa.
She said,
who is your name?
Shut up, we've got some drinks.
Le eau de toilette.
Il a si vent.
And it is literally
of the toilet,
the water of the toilet.
Sweaty gritty.
It's shitty as well.
Sweaty, shitty, sweaty gritty. Sweaty gritty. It's shitty as well. Sweaty, shitty, sweaty gritty.
Oh, it's gritty, it's a shitty.
Puh-hub, puff-em.
You spray some on your slitty, you get some action.
Right, well, there you go.
You had to ruin it.
You spray this lovely shit.
Should we start this again?
Now, now I'm enjoying it.
Right, okay.
Shitty gritty slitty!
We've got more drinks to do!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Okay, no.
Probably not.
Actually, yeah.
Now.
Then.
Now then.
How about that then?
Oh, guys and girls.
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
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.
It snapped off
when I stuck it right in my arse.
Right.
Good.
Yeah, thank you.
Nice image.
Now,
Ian McShane
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
like fennel
yeah
dill
yeah
all that stuff
aniseed
yeah
star anise
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
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.
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
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?
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
the wham one
wham I thought
it was nicer
I have to say
just a better flavour
just a sort of
more clear
okay
I'm going to go
1.75
I mean it's
marginal
fine
so on to our
final drink then
in the
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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...
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
Play a sound effect.

Oh, you didn't like the fungus? Yeah, no, keep that
off your shelves. Well, that was
a bit more experimental, I have to say.
Well, you're welcome to hang around while we do the wrap-up

New sodium I've been working on.
It's been quite explosive.
Oh, all right.
Well, I'll let you go then, I guess.
Oh, hang on.
Quick question.
