CheapShow - Ep 341: The NeverEnding Cold Open
Episode Date: July 14, 2023There are charity shop goodies galore on CheapShow this week when the Showcase rolls back into town. Paul and Eli have both found a little something special/unusual and have brought it along to CSHQ f...or discussion and evaluation. We “once again” get to hear about Eli’s upsetting obsession with Tomy toys and Paul “once again” dives into Saturday Morning TV for his own quirky offering. Grown men should not get this excited over pointless nostalgia that isn’t even theirs to remember! There’s a return to the Country Urban Noodle Test Lab Kitchen with an instant noodle that invokes fond memories and minor embarrassment for Eli too. Paul just wants him to shut up and get on with it. There is also a long-awaited tales from the Shop Floor with a particularly stinky celebrity encounter! Eli may have been given a pre-show dressing down, but can he really behave himself when Paul is acting like a proper prick… and will either of them ever get to nail the cold open this week? Why not listen to them try?

Ding dong.
Come in.
Hello.
I'm the prick inspector.
I've come to inspect your pricks.
I believe you have one here at this location.
Eli Silverman.
Yes, that's me.
Well, how can I help you?
Well, I've come to inspect you for your prickishness.
Have you done anything pricky lately?
No one's emailed me or anything about this.
Oh, there was an email sent to eliprick.gmail.com.
That's not my email address.
I'm sorry. I've made a terrible error, sir.
Well, get out.
I'll leave.
Get out.
And that's our cold open this week.
It is.
I liked it.
It was clever.
That was not clever.
It was very clever
because, you know,
it was subversive.
You always do this.
You give me a dressing down
about the quality
of last week's episode
and how we need to do better
and not get into bad habits
and then you produce
a piece of the worst,
one of the least well-conceived,
unfunny things,
honestly, I've ever heard from you.
Hello, I'm the dickhead inspector.
Is there a dickhead here?
Go on, Paul.
That's me.
Hello.
Oh, hello.
I'm from the dickhead agency.
I'm a dickhead.
Yes.
I've been a dickhead now for 10 years.
I haven't even got the badge.
Well, I'm from the agency
and we want to bring you into the
compound and then do experiments
on you. A compound? Yes.
It's a compound. Sounds morally
dubious. I'm in. What we
do is we put you in a jumper, a roll neck.
Yeah. Okay. We test your
dickhead. Right. And we rub up and
down on your neck like this. Nice.
And then I go...
Yeah, is that what you want? Yes, you do a chicken
impression. And now that's our cold open
this week. No. That is.
That was me pastiching your shit.
Oh, well, it was a very good pasting.
Ding dong. Yes, hello. Hello. I'm the
unfunny cunt inspector.
That's me. I'm here.
How can I help? I've been an unfunny cunt for apparently... Are we looking for a... Oh, let me just check my list here. We're looking for a Paul Gannon inspector that's me I'm here how can I help I've got an unfunny cunt
for apparently
are we looking for
let me just check my list here
we're looking for a Paul Gannon
that's me
he's the least funny man
in a two mile radius
that's me
oh how can I help you
oh it's glad to be recognised
for my hard work
I'm from the unfunny cunt agency
and they want
they're fucking
they want you back
good
because I've just heard
you've signed
Jack Whitehall
and that's our cold open this week.
It is.
Fuck off.
Welcome to Cheap Show.
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, brand, off-brand, brand, off-brand.
Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap.
Cheap Show.
It's the price of shite Paul Gannon
Eli Silverman
Welcome to Cheap Show
And I go and I nuzzle
Well, welcome to Cheap Show
It's the comedy comedy podcast where I, Paul Gannon, and my good friend...
Eli Silverman. Hi, everybody.
Hi. We go through the bargain bins, the charity shops and pound lands of this great country of ours.
We look for the treasure to be found amongst that trash.
And boy, howdy, have we got some lovely things for you today.
Do we? What have we got coming up on the show today, Paul?
Well, we've got a charity shop showcase
where we highlight things that we found in a charity shop
that we think are worth talking about
outside of any games, competitions or challenges.
Part of the enshitification process of Cheap Show
whereby everything becomes a binary, in or out.
The ongoing enshitification of Cheap Show is in full swing.
In or out.
In and out.
Again, you're doing
your own little
No, I'm not doing it.
I'm not doing it.
I am not doing it.
And I tell you,
I will be disciplining you
this week.
How?
Every time you do
a mad mouth noise,
I'm going to put my thumb
up your bum off.
How about that?
Why don't you get punished
for any of the tropes
like that one?
I don't need to be punished.
I get arse damage,
do I,
if I misbehave.
We have never been there before. How are you going to punish me then? I get arse damage, do I, if I misbehave. We have never been there before.
I get arse punished, do I?
So I arse punish you, the humour.
Arse punish.
Arse punish.
Would you like some arse punish?
I need some arse punish, sir.
Here we go with the arse punish.
Right, I'll give you...
I make a joke about that.
What do you do to punish me?
Hey, what's your witty thing?
That's some form of...
I don't know, I get to make...
Eli retribution.
Eli treptribution.
I get to say...
Grahartley?
No, but then you make a mouth noise,
and so then I have to go back and stick my thumb up your ass.
No, that's a word.
Grahartley's a word.
It's not a word.
Anyway, on this week's show,
we've got the Charity Shop Showcase,
and we have a Tales...
We've got two Charity Shop Showcases. Well, have a Tales... We've got two Charity Shop Showcases.
Well, no, we have one segment with two items within it.
Ah.
Please get it right, or I shall ask you to leave the podcast.
Pop, pop, pop, pop.
You can't do that.
It's a community reference.
Is it?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Guys go pop, pop.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
But I didn't mean it like pop, pop, hand, palms in the air.
No, no, yeah.
You meant it is, and thumb up the bum.
Thumb up the bum.
Thumb up the bum. Thumb up the bum.
Thumb, thumb, maybe.
How about douche, douche?
Douche, douche.
No, that's douche, douche.
We need to get douche, douche back into this.
That's where we're going wrong.
We haven't done a douche, douche in a while.
Do you know what the home of the douche, douche concept can be?
What?
When you get the double betwing on the nose.
Arse punish.
No, when you get the double betwing on the nose.
Douche, douche.
That's a douche, douche.
Well, that means you don't get a betwing.
You do.
You get a betwing and a bedouche. You don't. That's a dush, dush. But that means you don't get a betwing. You do. You get a betwing and a
bedouche.
You don't.
You just say dush, dush
in a joyous way.
What about if you get,
no, you get a dush, dush
when you're out completely.
So it's like,
it's one pound and you said
35p and you're out.
Dush, dush.
Like that.
Make it a kind of
threatening,
I don't give a fuck.
And elsewhere on the pocket. You've deflated that. I went in with the joy of the dush, dush. like that make it a kind of threatening I don't give a fuck and elsewhere
you've deflated that
I went in with the joy
of the
you did the anti-jouge
on the
you failed to
up the
and that's our cold open
this week for the podcast
and that's our cold open
this week
right
and we're doing a Tales from the Shop floor.
And I read it and it's only short,
but I think it's worth telling.
And we've got Eli's Country Urban Noodle Kitchen.
We're going to pop into the Country Urban Noodle Kitchen.
We've got a micro Country Urban Noodle Kitchen.
Just a one noodle segment?
Just a one noodle segment this week.
But again, it's a segment that we think is worth your time.
We do.
Noodles is always worth your time.
Because we are a noodle-based podcast.
Noodles and sauces.
Primarily not.
Ghostbusters, noodles and sauces.
I reckon if you stacked up a super edit of every time I've mentioned Ghostbusters
against every time you've mentioned sauce and noodles,
a super edit of every time I've mentioned Ghostbusters against every time you've mentioned
sauce and noodles. I have enough
theory that I will
have a very small amount of Ghostbusters
content compared to your noodle content.
Accepted, Paul, but I want you
in turn to accept this.
Yes. Accept this, what I'm about to say.
I will take it. I want you in turn to accept this.
I will accept it with both hands. You are the
interlocutor and you will accept this.
Interlocutor? Interlocutor. Is that how you say it?locutor, and you will accept this. Interlocutor?
Interlocutor.
What's that?
How do you say it?
I don't know what your word is.
Interlocutor.
Tomcuter. Tomcuter.
Who's that?
No.
That's just not.
Don't start then.
I know.
But what are you saying?
What words are you trying to impart wisdom by?
I'm saying I accept.
Yes.
Just to recap.
I accept.
Douche douche.
Go on.
I accept that if you did a super cut of every time i'd said
noodles or sauces on the show and you put it up against a new a super cut of you saying ghost
busters mentioning ghostbusters yeah one would be much larger in extent than the other but also you
know what you know what what is more larger in importance to the history of the world
sauces and noodles sauces and including condiments in that.
And noodles.
Sources, condiments and noodles, Paul.
Or ghostbusters.
Yeah, but like ghostbusters,
I don't think is going to change the world,
but it might be a bomb for some who really enjoy it.
And it means more to them in their life
than a source does on a regular basis.
Nothing means more than sources.
Well, to you, yeah.
Because you have a blinkered existence
where everything in Eli land
is fucking sparkling and fine.
Show me someone...
But from an outsider's point of view
looking in,
it's like looking into
a cancerous arsehole
full of bats and webs.
Oh, God.
Oh.
Oh, God.
Oh, did we have to?
Yeah.
Well, we've got a tale
from the shop floor for everyone.
Yeah, I've said that.
Is that coming up?
I don't know what you...
What did you want to do things in today?
It's up to you.
I'd like to do the tales from the shop floor at the first hurdle.
All right, well, let's get that out of the way now, then.
It's something that we both enjoy.
Why is everything getting out of the way?
It's like you want to die before you've lived.
Well...
Well, then, let's enjoy this.
Let's savour this moment we're having.
I'm just going to savour this moment. Oh, this moment we're having i'm just gonna savor this moment
oh this moment is so good chef's kiss oh dish dish
i've judged it did you know judging um is polari no i did not know that polari word
but doesn't it come from French for something, though?
No, it's Polari.
But they didn't take it from a French word.
I don't know what they took it from.
Right.
But they did borrow from French, didn't they, a bit?
Polari.
Oh, Campari.
Oh.
Chinotto, I'm drinking.
He's drinking Chinotto, which is a orange bitters Italian soft drink
and it's quite
popular in Italy
the national soda
of Italy apparently
yes and drink it
and we're done
with that bit
of information
oh
Polaria
oh oh oh oh
Chinotto
oh
and I've run
out of words
to add to an Italian song.
Listen, Paul.
So let's just wrap this up now, mate.
This is the bit open.
Wrap one up.
We've set the stalls.
It's a parcel of nothing.
We've set the stalls up.
What's stalls?
The stalls of the show.
We haven't.
Chief's show is a market street
and we've said
just over there
is the stand for the
Tales from the Shop floor
and over there
is the stand for the noodle
and over there is the charity shop showcase stand and over there there's the charity shop showcase stand
and the market is now open.
Ding-a-ling-a-ling, everyone.
Everyone can go in.
Why is there bells in every single...
Because bells bring in good news
and I've got good news for you
and that is this Cheap Show episode is ready to go.
One thing.
No.
One little thing.
Yes.
Can I get a burger?
What do you mean, can you get a burger?
Can I go and get a burger?
We don't do hot foods here.
What kind of fucking market is this?
It's a shit. It's a start-up.
What if I get hungry? I actually need a piss.
Well, you can piss in the street. I can piss
in the street. Don't fucking go, I can piss
in the street. I've seen you do it. I know I'm
pissing in the street. You've pissed in many streets,
mate. I've seen you piss in
more streets than high-vite
hot dinners.
Again, factually incorrect. It's not
factually incorrect. Any time I've been out
with you in general,
every time I've been out with you,
I've caught you having a piss in the street
in the corner of a market stall when we went
past that fucking... Remember when we used
to do the brew house
and you meant for many pisses in the market
stall areas where they had those
little antiques set
I did used to piss up
the market stalls there
yeah so
you've pissed by the bins
where you work
you've pissed around
the back of shops
and stuff like that
it's all coming out
it's all coming out
got your super injunction
broken
mate can we just
crack on
well yes
I'm not trying to do
anything here
I'm trying to be good boy
I like it when you to be good boy.
I like it when you're a good boy.
Well, come on then.
Let's have some... Because good boys get...
Douche douche.
The double douche.
And the double douche is coming your way.
And that's our cold open.
It's not, though.
We've done the cold open.
I'll show you my cold open.
Press the stupid cunt button.
Sorry, that might have been my stomach.
Oh, I didn't hear anything.
Sorry.
Well, you haven't got your headphones on.
No, but I didn't hear anything.
It might be on the recording, though.
No, I'm deaf.
Are you?
Yeah, can't hear anything.
No.
I just guess what's about to be said.
Okay.
Based on facial gestures.
And I can lip read.
Oh, he wants a lollipop.
Anyway, it's time for Tales from the Shop Floor.
Tales from the Shop Floor.
We haven't done one of these in a while, have we?
Yes, let's just explain to people.
Why don't you explain to people?
Tales from the Shop Floor is an infrequent segment that we do
where we read stories sent in by our listeners
who have had funny little anecdotes happen to them
in the world of retail, hence shop.
It started as just charity shops.
It started as charity shop fodder, but it's blossomed into supermarkets, department stores.
We've had libraries.
Policemen.
First night on the job as a policeman.
Yeah, that was one of our darkest chapters.
That is honestly terrible.
Kind of drew a line in some respects of other stories we would be willing to tell.
Yes.
You know, the whole punching down on the lower elements
of society. It was
in danger of degenerating
into a bunch of sort of
freak out video equivalents
of just sort of homeless people. We didn't want to
turn this into a bum fight segment of the show.
A bum fight, that's the phrase. It's not
bum fights, it's tales from the shop floor. And it is
and we have one this week that I think qualifies
as suitable for reading on this week's show.
Okay, great. I'm looking forward to this, Paul. Great.
So this one comes from Brett, and Brett says thus.
Hi, I can't remember if I've submitted this before,
but after telling my friend, fellow Cheap Show fan, and Eurovision entrant Morgan Kenning recently,
she urged me to submit it, so I am doing it to make sure.
Good. I don't think you have submitted this before.
This is fresh to mine eye.
Thanks, Bruce.
Brad.
Broad.
Wow.
Broad.
Thanks, Broad.
Thanks for your letter, Broad.
Trad.
No, I like Broad.
Chord McBroad.
Broad McChord.
There we go.
Thank you, Broad McChord.
Here is...
Brett.
Is it Brett?
It is Brett.
Right, here's the story.
I used to work at Dudley Zoo and Castle near Birmingham.
Please don't do the accent.
Well, here we go.
I'm from Birmingham.
He's not good.
Oh, no, is that Birmingham?
You said it's Birmingham.
Lenny Henry.
It's like Slade.
It's like Slade and Lenny Henry and Jasper Carrot.
Bloke.
Birmingham.
I can't do it.
You try it. Say I am Jasper Carrot. Bloke. Birmingham. I can't do it. You try it.
Say, I am Jasper Carrot and I like mopeds.
Oh, I'm Jasper Carrot and I like mopeds.
You see, you do a better Scouts accent trying to be Birmingham.
Do I?
Than you do when you're trying to be Scouts.
I can't do Birmingham.
And you sound like Northern weird.
I can't do Birmingham.
Can't do anything.
I can only do, which we've been proven in the show.
Australian.
Australian.
You can do one thing.
One thing.
In the whole of Cheap Show's history,
you can do one thing, and that's
doing an Australian accent.
One thing on that, Paul. Do you know what I've been noticing
recently? Whenever an American
creator, YouTube whatever,
tries to do
a British accent In a mocking way
You know
It does a British accent
It's Australian
Oh
I was going to say
It's always spinal tappy as well
No no
They can't
It does
And I think there's a certain
There's a certain part
Of the American population
Who actually cannot discern
Between a sort of London
An estuary
Call it estuary English accent
Yeah
And an Australian
They can't
They can't tell the difference
To me To to them,
I sound like I have
an Australian accent
when I'm talking now.
Oh, I can imagine that.
And to be fair,
when I lived in LA,
I would sometimes be asked,
it was weird,
are you Australian?
And if I didn't get that,
they'd say,
are you one of those Welsh?
Yeah.
But I think that's because
you've got a southern,
slightly southern...
Tang to it now.
Yeah.
Which they mistake for Australian
or just can't see the difference
between no no um but i think that is why my australian accent is quite effective because
it is actually close to how i actually speak so they probably think that's cockney i bet there's
an american right now going i love these australian guys when they do those cockney accents yeah just
like when they hear my american and every single americansehole shrivels up to the tightest bud possible.
Well, I kind of like Jimmy Biscuits.
Although he is a real person
and in no way a character
from the imagination of Paul Michael Gannon.
I think imagination is too strong a word there, Paul.
Is it?
From the bum hole mind.
Dush, dush.
All my characters come from the dush, dush zone.
The dush, dush zone.
You're travelling
through another
dimension
and then the
pair of bollocks
yeah a big pair
of bollocks
fly by
yeah
a giant joint
on an angle
spinning through
space
right
right
and we could do
that gag for a while
but we're not going to
let's just get on
with the story
so they work
or they used to work
at Dudley's Urban
Castle which is
funnily enough
I think I did
a psychic and science at Dudley's Urban castle the outside live show we did okay 2012
i think it was something like that so there's an old castle there is it not that old is it
it's on a hill i think and then the surrounds beneath it or the zoo is it a pretend castle
no it's a real it's not a real genuine castle but from when i'm like 1400 1300 i don't know
it's like most haunted
on shows there ghost adventures it's a well-known haunted location it has a zoo around the hill
i ask because a lot often there were sort of victorian follies that were sort of build castles
you know not that so that was a genuine thing yeah okay so anyway let's get through to the story uh
i used to work at dudley zoo in castle near Birmingham, and we had a celebrity guest visitor one day.
The zoo had some baboon births and named one of them Billy,
in honour of...
Who do you think they nominated?
Who do you think they named it after?
Think.
British.
Make it easy.
It's British celebrity.
I was going to say Billy Gibbon of ZZ Top,
because it works as a monkey thing.
Yeah, but it's not that.
Everyone note I said Billy Gibbons.
Billy Gibbons. Of ZZ Top. Yeah, no, I got that. Everyone note, I said Billy Gibbons. Billy Gibbons?
Of ZZ Top,
the leader of ZZ Top.
Yeah, I got it.
The guy out of ZZ Top.
Billy Monkey.
Although it sounds like
someone you'd see
on Blackpool Peasure Beach
doing a summer show.
Oh, I'm Billy Gibbons.
Hello, I'm Billy Gibbons.
Here's my favourite character,
Wacky Mob.
Hey-oh!
Et cetera.
Wacky what?
Bob.
Doosh, doosh.
I'm trying to think
of a funny name.
Wacky Mash Man.
Oh, God. Iacky Mash Man. Oh, God.
I am the Mash Man.
Shut up.
Stop it.
Do you know what it is about me?
Just the ability to generate wild new characters from the ether.
Crap.
I've got one, Eli.
Who's this?
It's Carolina Hot Tits.
Hot Tits.
I can't put on bras
they go on fire
no
who's this other character
I've got
snatch it out of the air
oh it's Gary
clothes hanger
oh just hang your clothes
on me
yeah
I'll put my hand out
oh you can hold it
can I take part in this
no no no
I'm going to grab another
character out of the air
oh here it comes
going to grab one
now
it's Mr. Gangle.
All these characters, mate.
All these characters just grab from nowhere.
You can't do it anymore.
You've lost your seed.
You've lost your character-making seed.
You've shot too many blanks, and now all the spunk's gone.
Oh, there's another character coming through.
Oh, grab it.
They're not coming through.
Who is it?
Why? It's Cheeky Bird. Oh, there's another character coming through. Oh, they're not coming through. Who is it? Why?
It's Cheeky Bird.
Oh, Cheeky Bird.
You already had that bird.
Do you remember that bird?
No, no, it's a different one.
Does he only whistle
than this bird?
Yeah, but he's a Cheeky Bird.
What's he do that's cheeky?
Nothing.
I've got nothing.
Right. No. Okay, so let. I've got nothing. Right.
No.
Okay, so let's do this fucking letter.
Right.
The zoo had some baboon births and named one Billy in honour of...
Billy Monkey.
Billy...
It's not Billy Monkey.
Billy Ape.
No, I'll just tell you.
No, shh.
Be calm.
Shh.
No, I'm going to get this.
Go on.
Give me a clue.
Well, Bill is the first name.
I'll say that. Bill Gorilla. They haven't got a monkey clue. Well, Bill is the first name. I'll say that.
Bill Gorilla.
They haven't got a monkey name.
They haven't got a monkey name.
There was another.
Should I just tell you?
Because I don't want this to be a 17-minute segment of you naming Billies of different types.
I can't think of any Bill.
Good.
It was in honour of Bill Oddie.
I was going to say Bill Oddie.
Well, you didn't, though.
Stop saying that.
I had Oddie in my mind.
I fucking hate it when people say that.
Where they go, here's it. Here's 15 minutes for you to guess. Oh, I still haven't got it. Well, the answer's Bill Oddie. Well you didn't though. Stop saying that. I had Oddie in my mind. I fucking hate it when people say that. Where they go here's it. Here's
15 minutes for you to guess. Oh I still haven't got it.
Oh the answer's Bill Oddie. Yeah I knew that. I was
going to say that. Well then why did you waste 15 minutes
of my fucking time. You bearded
stupid cock. Wasn't 15 minutes.
Felt like it. To our
listening audience it felt like it. Bill Oddie
has rough feet apparently. Well let's just
get into this story shall we. So
in honour of Bill Oddie,
it would have made more sense
if it was Gibbons,
but what can you do?
Because of the funky Gibbon.
Because of their big hit,
the funky Gibbon.
The goodies, big hit,
do the funky Gibbon.
Do, do, do,
the funky Gibbon.
Funky Gibbon.
That one.
That is a record,
a seven-inch single
that infests charity shops.
Oh, there's loads of goodies
songs that like...
That one is the most...
And you see Funky and you think,
oh, is it some kind of funk record?
But no, and then you see it's the goodies.
Anyway, so I had the pleasure of meeting Bill Oddie
on this absolutely pouring down day.
Billy Oddie shows up with some monkeys named after him.
Yeah, because he did a song called Funky Gibbon.
Oh, that's the loose connection.
Maybe he likes animals and the money. He went for the money. Yeah. Listen, let me get through this story because I need to have momentum for this. Right Gibbon. Oh. That's the loose connection. Maybe he likes animals and the
money.
He went for the
money.
Listen let me get
through this story
because I need to
have momentum for
this.
Right here we go.
Brett had the
pleasure of meeting
Bill Oddie.
He stank of wet
dog.
This is what he
says here.
Oh I love this now.
So it's pouring
down the day and
he stank of wet
dog but this isn't
the cheap show
worthy moment.
Right let me read
this.
The zoo had lots
of old cottages
on site from
its history which are used as offices and the storage one of which was a very plush office
with a very nice bathroom mr oddy took a dump so bad in this bathroom that apparently the entire
office had to be vacated for several days with the windows left open to clear the smell he cleared it
he cleared it out
that's it
that's the story
thanks for the entertainment
keep it up
thanks Brett
that really made my day
oh
fancy that
and think
do you think Bill Oddie
like where
dropped his gut to where
they can fucking deal with that
and stroll down like
Cock of the Walk? Or did he feel some like
I've ruined my
classical reputation?
I'm just fascinated that shit
can be that bad. I'm not.
I've smelled what you two have dealt out in this flat.
No, it's never for a whole week though.
You keep the fucking incense industry
going because of your fucking bathroom
disasters. Again, I've been piss shamed.
I've been poo shamed.
It's true.
How much humiliation can I take?
I don't know, 350 odd episodes worth?
Anyway, that was a wonderful and concise tale from the shop floor.
Thank you.
And I liked it.
Thank you very much, Brett.
That's going in our minor hall of fame.
And if anyone else has any stories about celebrities
who smell bad in person or drop horrible eggy guffs
or anything that really kind of lowers the reputation
of a well-loved star, please get in touch.
You can email thecheapshow at gmail.com.
I like the idea of someone who eats.
Yeah, but you know what's going to happen is,
one day, like I tell someone on the shop floor
one day
Eli Silver
came in to use
our bathroom
and absolutely
burned out the place
why did I do that
I know it was going to be bad
I used to save it for homesies
do you
yeah
you know it's going to be a bad one
like a grown up
apart from
I was in Leicester
and you can fucking talk
I was in Leicester
you had a free flusher
you had a free flusher
that you admitted that free flusher is had a three flusher that you admitted
that three flusher
is a courtesy one
and there was a
fucking stench in it
ladies and gentlemen
shut up
it was solid air
I bet there was a guy
you've heard of curved air
it was solid air
oh look there's Eli
he's in that
cafe Nero in Leicester
oh
I'm seeing him later
at the live show
oh he's just popped
into the toilet
I'll wait till he comes out
oh god
oh god oh Eli really fucking stewed that room out didn't he seeing him later at the live show. Oh, he's just popped into the toilet. I'll wait till he comes out. Oh, God. Oh, God.
Oh, he really fucking
stewed that room out, didn't he?
You didn't smell that one.
Mate, when you opened that door, it was like
someone had popped open a sewer pipe.
You dirty, grubby shitmeister.
That was
bad. Yeah. And to think,
why are we talking about this? Why indeed?
It's because of Bill Oddie.
We're moving on. I bet
there has to be some kind of level of disease or
alcoholism.
For it to be that bad that they can't
return to the office for a week.
Maybe just clang to the fabric
to the wallpaper. Imagine just
the grossness of Bill Oddie's
fucking terminal nuclear
chod
bomb.
I bet it looked like
a baboon's arm as well.
Like a baboon's neck.
I've just dropped
a hairy gorilla
at the top.
Gorillas in the mist, mate.
Talk about funky moped.
That's Jasper Carrot,
isn't it?
Think about funky Gibbon.
Oh, fucking hell.
That's not a goodie.
I'll give you that for a fucking fact.
No, that's good.
Thanks, Brett.
Thank you, Brett.
Bye-bye, everyone.
Bye-bye.
And that's the cold open.
And that's the cold open.
Hey, everybody.
It's time for the Charity Shop Showcase segment of the show.
Eli, tell us a little bit about what that is.
Charity Shop Showcase is a part of the show where we pick a little bit about what that is charity shop showcase is a part of the
show where we pick items uh that we found in charity shops and we present them to each other
and then we decide as a team whether they are a charity shop showcase a good worthy item uh that
deserves to exist or if they have no place no place in this plane showcase or no have no place. No place in this plane of reality. Showcase or no place? No place in this plane of reality.
And would it be better
to have never existed?
Although, did we always...
I mean, I guess,
is there a point to that?
I just think we should bring things along
that we like, that we bought,
that don't fall into any other category
within the show.
That's bringing them along,
but then the judgment hammer does fall.
But should there be judgment?
Does everything need to be judged?
The cleaving judge hammer of retritude.
Oh, no.
The cleaving hammer.
You're doing so well.
I think, listen, you're the one who started this.
I did.
No, not me.
It's in its showcase.
I'm a good boy.
No, you're not a good boy.
I'm a good boy.
You're not a good boy.
Yeah, good boy.
I think the characters that you produced earlier were substandard.
I think in time they will age beautifully.
And I think I need to demonstrate to everyone...
Oh, cheeky bird!
What's that?
You know what's a better...
What's that, cheeky bird?
What, Eli dresses like a drunk dad in a social group?
In a social group.
Yes, yeah, like most people are.
Shut up.
He's a fucking idiot!
What's that, cheeky bird? This bird's an idiot! up. He's a fucking idiot. What's that cheeky bird?
This bird's an idiot.
A drunk dad in a social group.
It's that owl from months ago.
I can't remember why we used him, but I remember the voice.
It's the chutney owl.
It's the chutney owl.
He must...
Oh, there's some more chutney from the chutney owl.
No, that's not what the chutney owl does.
Oh, don't be so cheeky, cheeky bird.
Well, you'll get us cancelled if I repeat that.
Cheeky bird.
Do you know what the chutney owl's probably here for?
What?
My pens.
Great.
So, here is the charity shop showcase segment of the show
where we give you things that you might
like to see. I've explained
it. I explained it.
Do you want me to recap? No. Yes, I'll
just recap. No, we're fine. We're good.
No, I'm going to recap, Paul. I'm going to
recap. Just carry on. So, we
bring in interesting items that we found in charity
shops. We present them to each other and
then, between us, as a team,
Shut up, cheeky bird.
the cleaving hammer of decision comes down
and some object it banishes.
Cheeky bird, shut up.
where they have no place.
But other...
Cheeky bird.
Other objects...
have showcase.
It's cat calling me, you fucking abusive bird.
He's a cheeky bird.
That's not my fault, is he?
Is he going to call me a drunk dad in a
social group?
Just admit the
chutney now is here
for my butt nuggets.
But for your bum
jam.
The chutney now is
here for the bum
jam everyone.
It's got a very
sensitive nose and it
can smell my dick
sweat from fucking
two miles out.
And what, now you're
suggesting your dick
makes chutney now as
well.
It's not chutney but
it's got a very
olfactory smell.
I hate where this is going. It's got an olfactory smell. I hate where this is going.
It's got an olfactory...
I hate...
Let's stop.
Let's just stop.
My dick's sweat.
Right, good.
My dick's sweat smells of chutney.
My dick smells of chutney.
My dick smells of chutney.
And you can...
Spread that on your toast.
And spread it on your toast.
You are knobbing on the chutney
and then spread it on your toast.
And it comes out.
And that is your allocated
Eli's stupid fucking embarrassing
regretful moment. I tried to say
come round here. Yeah, but you see, when you force
it, it sounds trite.
It sounds fake. It sounds disingenuous
and it rips off our audience
and shows that you don't care. Whereas
I care very much. Isn't that right?
Cheeky bird.
What a racist.
Right, anyways.
You show me your...
Oh, no, wait.
Let's play the jingle for the charity shop showcase.
It is the charity shop little, little showcase.
It's the one place where you can show your stuff.
Come and come and come.
Come on, come to the charity shop.
Open showcase.
Check it out.
I'm Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jim, Jim Pavarotti.
I'm Jimmy and Pavarotti, Jim Jarby.
I've got a Jim Jarby army.
And I've got Pavarotti. And what is your first item?
We've got one each this week.
What's Eli's first?
Now, we have been, and myself especially, Paul,
fans of the Tomita, is it?
The fool.
Well, just say Tomi.
Stop being a prick.
They're known as Tomi.
Just say Tomi.
I'm not being a prick.
I'm trying to be detailed.
There's a company that make toys in Japan
known as Tomi in the West and Tomita in Japan.
Tomita, tomato, let's call the whole thing off.
And they do toys and games.
Yeah, and we have a collection, well, I have a collection as well
of some of their kind of mechanical activity games
like Screwball Scramble, like YAR, like...
Did they do the Kong thing?
Rock and Roll Maze.
Yeah, they did Kong Man.
Kong Man, which is a physical game where you try and get...
It's like a...
People saw it on Barshens when we did it on Barshens.
People know what it is.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And also in recent years
we've been sent...
I think Event sent us those...
They do a series of cars.
Oh, yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A noodle...
Pot noodle car.
Not pot noodle.
A cup noodle car.
Cup noodle Nissan.
Cup noodle car.
It's branded.
And also Mr. Pootie Face
or whatever he's called.
Mr. Bomb Face Detective.
Yeah.
Strange, strange thing.
But I actually really like that.
I love all of their stuff.
And what are those... That series with the oblong-shaped... Oh, yeah. I know what you mean like that. I love all of their stuff. And what are those,
that series with the oblong-shaped...
Oh, yeah, I know what you mean,
with the water in it.
Handheld games.
They did a whole series in the 80s.
Oh, the Pocketeers.
Pocketeers.
Yeah, but they also did,
I used to have those,
we never covered them on the show
because we've not had them,
but the water games they had.
You know, it was either a tube
and you had to squirt it
to get the things in,
or yeah, it was more like
a flat rectangle.
And I saw one that was Pac-Man
and it had a great big Pac-Man when you squeeze it. I remember that one. The Pac-Man's mouth opens or get the things in. Oh yeah, it was more like a flat rectangle. And I saw one that was Pac-Man and it had a great big Pac-Man.
I remember that one.
The Pac-Man's mouth opens
all the ghosts fly in.
I just find that so fascinating
where you've got a computer game,
but then you're going back
into a physical toy format.
You're taking that
and same similar with Kong Man as well.
Yeah.
You're taking...
Well, I mean, that was ripping off
the iconography of the video game.
It wasn't based on the video game Donkey Kong.
But they do also... Because Tomy, I think, released an of the video game. It wasn't based on the video game Donkey Kong. But they do also because Tomy I think
released an LCD
or LED game.
Like a watch and
game thing.
Called Munchman.
I think that was
Tomy.
If not it might
have been Grandstand
either way.
They've got a
different history to
a company like
Nintendo but
probably started in
a very similar place.
Probably except it's
like when Nintendo
dovetailed into video
games they stuck with
toys and gadgets and all sorts.
And they're still very popular today,
mostly known for making very young kids' stuff now.
Like the eggs, which I have two sets of,
which are a fantastic toy for basically a toddler or younger, aren't they?
And the grown man in his late 40s decided to buy them for himself
and withhold them from a child's joy.
And very much what I've done with this item as well, Paul.
Yes, you have.
What is this item?
This is a little Tomy toy,
and it is marked 1988.
That's another thing I love about the Pocketeers,
that they date their toys.
Well, it's not Pocketeers, it's Tomy.
No, but they also have them...
Oh, yeah, they date them.
And this is from Singapore,
and I believe that's the same as the Pocketeers.
They must have had a factory in Singapore
I don't know
I don't know what
the history is
but I love the way
that you can date this
but you haven't told
everyone what it is yet
you always go weirdly
backwards
like here's this thing
and on it
is a tiny little imprint
which reminds you
of Daddy's love
going to the park
Daddy love
we're living in
memories
in my house
special childhood
is Daddy love
the drunken father
in a social group?
Daddy Love was the parental figure of the Beach Boys
wasn't it? Obviously. Daddy Love.
Daddy Love. Good one. Thank you.
Now, it's a rabbit. See, I'm firing
on a cylinder today, aren't I?
At least half a cylinder. Half a cylinder.
This is a little plastic rabbit.
Now, can I describe it thus?
It's like a plastic taco rabbit.
It's got the shape of a taco.
Well, it is in fact a Transformer toy.
It is. Because in this, I've got it in the folded
up state now, Paul. Yeah.
And it is a
sort of geometric shape. It's a semicircle.
Yeah. But it looks like
a little taco. I don't know. I think we want to do
some research on this. But,
because I looked it up through Google Lens
and it said modular
and there's a collection of others do you think and i think there must be some kind of thing you
can fit them all into you know like a like uh like blocks and squares blocks so maybe there's
like a square dog and a triangle cat or something as well but it's not called modular so that's
what i think it's in its its form shape. But watch the transformation.
Up come the ears.
Ears pop up.
Then you pull down.
Oh, its little body pops out.
That's cute, isn't it?
It's very good.
The feet tilt out.
The feet tilt out and it's got little arms as well.
So the feet and arms there.
It's very cute.
And if you want to put it back together,
look at this little orange plastic button on his behind.
And you do that and then it clicks back in.
Also, it has little eyeballs that jiggle around so the eyes move around.
Oh, just so you know, by the way, Instagram and our website, thetubetour.co.uk,
you'll see pictures of all this stuff.
So, yeah, you can go look at it there.
Now, I saw this in a British Heart Foundation charity shop in North Finchley
where we started out for the quest,
the original quest episode.
Yes.
A lot of charity shops up there,
you know.
We've done a little tour.
Some good, some bad.
And it was £10.
It was in the glass box,
sort of,
what do you call it?
It's like,
in the window.
Display item,
which they often put their more expensive stuff
in their shops now,
because unfortunately people do steal things.
There's a fucking Lego BB-8
in the cancer research
up on the road.
80 quid they're selling it for
and it even says uncompleted
and it looks filthy
like literally
like someone shat on it.
Well, it's just how much
those things go for.
Yeah, but again
this is one of those things
where they've looked online
see one go for a similar price
and gone,
we'll do similar
but actually the reason
why it's at that price
is probably because it's in a lot better condition it's a lot rarer there's a
whole discussion here to be had about this but it is they are becoming more expensive just like
everything else so they have to move with inflation these shops don't they true but aren't you trying
to shift stuff yes and also i think that i'm not saying they just undersell it for like a tenner
but at the same time 80 80 seemed a lot for it.
I don't want to get snobbish here,
but I feel like sometimes the people that price up items,
second-hand items in these shops,
aren't aware of the nuance of condition on a lot of these things
and how condition is so important in achieving that top price.
And the fact that vinyl is the ultimate example.
I was going to say vinyl is where they go,
oh, this looks like a rare album,
whatever, we'll give it for a tenner.
They'll just look at the top price
on Discogs
and it's like,
no, it's destroyed.
Yeah, you've got a big scratch
right through it
but you're selling it for 15 quid.
What happens is
you get these gradings.
You've got excellent,
I think, at the top
or near mint is the top one
for vinyl.
Near mint, very good plus,
very good, so on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And what the
rule is that you halve the price every step down in grade you go right if you see what i mean but
they can't do that they don't have the time or the energy to do that for charity shops especially
when things are so random yes but they but you would agree in that case they should just have a
blanket price everything's two quid then you get a deal true but then like you then you'd understand something like that lego set that bb8 one which might be out of you know sale now
so it's hard to get hold of but it was in a mucky condition a lot a lot of it was missing and i
think that you could probably get yeah you could probably get the exact same and better condition
complete for about the same price on ebay i mean that's see that's the where they're going wrong
and that's kind of the problem because like at first glance, you go, oh, I'll have that.
How much?
Anyway, this rabbit was £10.
That's costly on its own.
It was £10, yes.
Wow.
It is from 1988.
Have you checked on eBay?
That's about what it goes for.
Okay, interesting.
I didn't see any for less than £10.
Fine.
Okay, interesting.
Is it, I. Is it...
I mean, it's an interesting item,
but is it a showcase or does it have no place?
But before we go to that, Paul,
I want to know if it's part of a set.
Right, we've had a quick look
and I think I've found it.
They come from a range of toys from the 80s
called Tomy Time Chunky Changers.
And this one here
is a green and white
triangle rabbit.
I need that!
There is a...
They're all rabbits,
are they, then?
No, there's a dog.
Let's see the dog.
There's a...
Oh, God, I need these.
Oh, no, that's an
orange and white cow,
but it's square.
I love it.
I love their geometric...
But look,
I think it comes in a pack.
Chunky...
Oh, no, this is cars.
Chunky vehicles hidden in colourful shapes.
So it looks like, in that instance,
there's a triangle and you fold out into a train.
They are Transformers, essentially, aren't they?
Very simple.
If Transformers are Lego,
this is like Duplo version of that.
Yes, yes.
But you didn't get this in Britain, did you?
In the 80s.
I never saw these.
I mean, fuck knows. I don't know. I mean, we would have been too 80s. I never saw these. I mean, fuck knows.
I don't know.
I mean, we would have been too old for that anyway.
I guess we would have, I suppose.
Look at this one as well.
I'm not too old now, though.
I remember this.
Tomy Time Tutor Typer.
It's a little plastic typewriter.
That's fucking great.
I collect Tomys.
Oh, what's this?
Jumping Jungle Pinball.
Oh, now Paul's found something.
Oh, look at that.
Look at that. Oh, it's like a little chunky Tomy Duplo pinball oh now that now paul's found something oh look at that oh it's like a little chunky
tomy duplo pinball thing i love them that's fucking right you're getting that are you right
let's take a break while i spooge my tomy time money now paul i think we should say after three
uh whether this item is showcase or have no place or do you want to make a little end argument
before we know i don't have an argument to make go on what do you want to make a little end argument before we know i
don't have an argument to make go on what do you think i think it's a showcase i think it's a no
place because it's on its own it's a curio but if it was a whole set i'd be like yeah that's
fucking great that it's just the way i am i don't i don't disagree with your decision jesus christ
or his i don't i'm just saying it's a nice item. Oh. But it's not a showcase.
No.
Not for you.
Not for me today.
I'm going to have to start a different showcase then. No, that's fine.
It doesn't mean it's...
I like it,
but are you saying it's a wower?
It's a showstopper?
Nay, nay, nay.
For me, it is a real showstopper.
I love Tomy stuff.
When I saw this,
I knew I was going to...
If it had been 20 quid,
I wouldn't have bought it.
20 quid would have been fucking steep.
10 is right at the top of what I'm prepared to pay, really.
Anyway, I'm not meant to judge because my next item, a bit costly, but I'll show you.
What can I just say now?
What?
There's no place for me.
Don't give a fuck.
I don't even know what it is.
I can smell it.
You can't smell it.
It smells of dick sweat.
No, that's what you are smelling coming from the pants area of your person.
There's a dick sweat fog coming up my nose. There's a dick sweat fog coming up my nose.
There's a dick sweat fog coming up my nose.
Guffney Harbour.
Guffney Harbour. Dick sweat fog.
I'm going to let this play out because I
know if I interject too
much, it inspires him to carry on.
If I let him peter out, then it
dies quicker. I've got my peter out.
That's the smell of Guffney Harbour.
Oh, I wish I hadn't now. Yeah, good. I'll teach you. Let's go on got my pizza out. That's the smell of Gaffney Harbour. Oh, I wish I hadn't now.
Yeah, good.
I'll teach you.
Let's go on to my next item.
It is the charity shop
little, little showcase.
It's the one place
where you can show your stuff.
Right, now it's time for my
charity shop showcase.
Now, this is something
I wanted to get months ago.
You know when we did
the Saturday morning TV
show episodes? Yes. We talked about
number 73 and going live
and all those kind of things. Oh, you've completed
your set of badges, number 73 badges.
Yeah, I've got both the saloon doors
and the original front door now. And that's all
there was. That's all there was, just the two. There was only
those two badges. Just the two, as far
as I'm aware. But, I've got
them. But anyway, i wanted to get this
item for those episodes but every time i looked online because they don't this doesn't turn up in
charity shops a lot um i got this on ebay for disclosure but i mean is it how can it be a
charity shop showcase then because ebay is like a charity shop isn't it when you think about it
except you haggle or you can buy that i mean i bought this direct where you just go i'll have
that because it's selling it.
Every time I went to look online,
this was always like 50, 60, 70 quid.
I'm like, I'm not paying 50, 60, 70 quid for it.
Why do you think it was towards the more expensive end?
Rarity?
I mean, this is a Denny Fisher toy. Denny Fisher.
You know, British toy company
did with a lot of licenses, board games.
We've talked about this in the past.
If that name sounds familiar to you
the um dad's army game we recently played yes was a denny fisher game was that strawberry fair no
strawberry fair was no it was denny fisher yeah either way denny fisher yeah they did
strawberry fair was similar company strawberry fair yeah i can't remember which did which anyway
the point is no dad's army was definitely denny fisher all right well then denny fisher had the
tv ones yeah that's what i'm saying they had all the licenses all the on the
buses or yeah i think they did the gym will fix it board game on the buses one is proper expensive
now uh depends it really depends on condition and things like that like i've seen job lots of board
games go on ebay for like 15 quid and you get like 10 board games and one of them's on the buses and
you think oh but i don't want to have like scrabble and you get like 10 board games and one of them's on the buses and you think oh but
i don't want to have like scrabble and fucking whatever and risk and stuff and also they probably
haven't checked that it's complete and that's why in a batch like that well that's why this is a
little bit cheaper because it's missing a few cards and there's a little bit of damage on the
box and things okay which is why i price i got this for, I think it was 13 quid with £2 postage and packaging.
So 15 quid in all.
All in.
And I can finally reveal now after, you know, teasing you,
getting you all erect and wet at the tip,
I have bought Denny Fisher's board game based on the TV show Swap Shop.
Swap Shop, which I never used to watch.
No.
It's got the Edmonds in it.
It has the Edmonds.
We've done two big episodes about Saturday morning TV.
We talked about Swap Shop.
Did you used to watch Swap Shop?
No, I was too young for Swap Shop.
You never used to watch Swap Shop?
Because Swap Shop finished in 80, 81, something like that.
Oh, you were really young.
So I would have been like two, three.
I would have been six.
If I'm being honest, it's probably Saturday Superstore I remember more than Swap Shop.
Yeah, me too.
But that outlived Swap Shop, didn't it?
Saturday Superstore.
I think it ran a little longer.
A little longer.
But it was vastly inferior.
You see, Paul, I didn't have a television in my home until I was five.
We know, because you're a special boy.
I didn't say because I was a special boy.
I didn't need to read until I was seven.
Then it all came to me.
Oh, it's no place.
Sorry.
No, anyway.
So it's a swap shop game
and when I saw it
for years I was like
well, what does it do?
Because to describe it
it is a plastic base
with knobs and buttons on
with a kind of
BBC swap shop set
backboard to it.
The artwork is very confident
and colourful, clear.
It's got the Edmonds on in the top corner smiling. Is that
prime time Edmonds? That's prime
Edmonds. That's like he's mid-twenties
early maybe late twenties here
maybe late twenties. And
multicoloured swap shop by Denny Fisher
a great family fun
game with all the excitement of BBC
TV swap shop it says there
in quotation marks, but with no
allocation of who said that.
That's a sort of VHS
video technique, isn't it? I will be
honest, I don't think this game
does capture the excitement of Swap Shop
because effectively what this game is, for all
its knobs and buttons and things, all its bells
and whistles, it's basically like Gin Rummy.
The game is, you've got
to collect a list of
one type of certain items
based on colour.
It's just a collection of,
you collect sets.
So you trade cards between players
and what you randomly get out from the board
because,
I mean, I'm not going to get into the rules
because effectively,
the game is,
you pick a button,
which is the switchboard.
On the left-hand side,
you see those nine buttons
and that is your phone line.
So when you press that,
that was someone calling in with an item right and you have to collect three of the yellow type
or three of the red type of item or three of the blue type and you get those like you would with
gym room you'd be swapping cards and taking from the machine right yes the cards come out when you
press the buttons yeah because they're in this little little draw at the front and when you press number seven for example it pops out and oh look it's a record set that's
red card oh and maybe you have two reds already and you need one more so you'll keep that but
maybe you have the red or maybe the red still in the game okay you just have to collect
little collections of cards i love that mechanism i that slots the card out the front. Yeah, it's simple.
So it's got a toyetic feel.
Yeah.
Doesn't it?
It's a game,
but it's got a very
toy-like quality to it.
Well, I like the fact
that it kind of goes,
who's this caller?
Line five.
Press it.
Oh, I want to swap this
or keep this.
But you just didn't think
that's entertaining
to listen to us play it, really?
No, it is absolutely...
It's absolutely not
entertaining to listen to
because it's like,
have you got red?
But the second half of the board,
on the right-hand side,
is another way of getting a card.
And what this is,
is like your playing pieces
are stuck on the front.
You've got a yellow, blue,
black, red playing piece, right?
And the basic gist of this is
you rotate the dial
based on some bullshit dice thing.
And around the dial,
there are eight UK locations.
Carlisle, Barrow, Inverness, Chester, Gloucester, Bath, Swansea, York.
And you take, let's say I'm red.
I'll put it on Barrow, push it in there,
and then I'll turn the knob one or two times.
I don't know what it says in the rule, but you turn it.
And then you use your little red playing piece to pry open the Barrow thing.
And underneath it is either a blank space, which is there,
or it says, Cheggers is here.
And if it says Cheggers is here, you win the card you want
or you get to swap with someone or whatever.
Because Cheggers, obviously, on the show was the out-and-about roving...
Suggesting you need to find Cheggers to get a card piece.
He did that in more than one programme, though, didn't he, Cheggers?
Yes, because as I said, no one wanted that fucking prick in the studio
because he was annoying. Really?
I'm not a Cheggers fan, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Cheggers, even though you're
dead. I'm sorry that I don't like you.
It was just a bit too much,
really, Cheggers, when you think about
it. When he was out and about with the
swap shop, fine, but
he was out and about for Saturday Morning
Superstore as well.
As well, yeah.
As delivery boy.
Right.
Going around.
But there was no swapping back then.
Wasn't he in number 73 as well?
No.
Okay.
No.
So that's the game.
You play it until you've got all the cards you need to complete a set of colour.
There's loads of 70s things on there, like tennis set, toy soldier, Barbie doll, teddy
bird.
Yeah.
You're swapping them the card.
I mean, there's a swap shop element.
You can see why it's desirable, because it's so nostalgic of the actual show you know yeah and even the
items uh have a nostalgia because they're like that record player for example is a vintage piece
now obviously i like owning this more for the sake of i love the aesthetic of it it's got that 70s bbc
swap shop aesthetic with the striped colours
and the posh paws and the
drawing. Notice how there's no Edmonds
on the actual item itself.
It's just kids. No, because they want to emphasise
the kids that they're playing it
rather, I think. That they're running the swap shop.
Yeah. And also,
you'd have to, maybe you'd have to pay a
graphic artist more if they had to actually
draw a picture of Edmonds.
Because those are just generic children that artist is drawing.
Generic children.
She's like battling, you know,
he's on the phone and there's posh paws.
He's all dressed up, the boy.
He's got a shirt and tie on.
Yeah, because that's what middle-class kids
who watch BBC in the morning would always get up.
Morning, mother.
I'm going to put my shirt and tie on
and be ready for breakfast.
Oh, look, Cheggers was in Carlisle,
for those who need closure.
I don't need closure.
I need Openshire.
Anyway,
yeah,
it just says,
once a player has collected a full set of six cards,
you must display the cards
on the table for checking.
If all the opponents agree
that the set is complete,
he is declared the winner.
If two players collect
the full set at the same time,
the winner is the player
who declares his hand first.
So that's it. It's like you swap cards around for various mechanics to get a set of six of one color
disappointing lack of strategy or any imagination in the game design itself this is not uncommon
like i think it's either strawberry fair or denny fisher also the morcombe and wise game right yeah
but you know what that was it was literally like tic-tac-toe but with like their faces
yeah i mean they're yeah or maybe guess who either way it was a very simple kind of board you
rotate blocks and line them up or something yeah so like how was that like connect for maybe yeah
but how was that reflecting the excitement of the comedy sketch show they did it doesn't
and it must be hard to think of an original game that just fits some random format tv format
because you wouldn't
you know
Dad's Army for its faults
did you know
it can't get the comedy
across of the show
you got angry
with Dad's Army
about the whole
walls thing
but I think it's better
than the fucking bread game
oh god the bread game
I think the only problem
with Dad's Army
is you need more people
to play it
to make it actually
an interesting game
if it's just me and you
it felt like it was
over real quick
yeah it wasn't great
it wasn't great and also so Paul in summary i do like the design of this yeah i just and because
it wasn't from a charity shop i think we need to keep the we need to keep the i've got it in a
charity shop i'll just edit that in don't be don't play god with me i'll do i got it in a charity
shop mate edit in earlier hello welcome to charity shop showcase i got it in a charity shop, mate. Edit in earlier. Hello, welcome to Charity Shop Showcase.
I got this in a charity shop.
It's the swap shop game. Well, I think it's shit. Not just because
you didn't get it in a charity shop.
I think it's shit. And it's not just in
retaliation for you not putting
Mr. Bunny, Modular Bunny in. Well, I didn't put it out of spite
though. It's a big difference. I'm telling you
I'm not doing it out of spite.
I don't think it's a showcase. And I do
because I think it's a lovely bit of 80s hauntology nostalgia early tv british tv quaint weirdness and i feel this has haunted
logical qualities as well this rabbit it's like it's would you see that in skinnamarink in the
background it's slightly futuristic it's not though is it it's but it's a future that we've
we've lost and also i bet they make toys similar to that.
You have to admit, the actual workmanship on the joints and hinges of this is unparalleled.
Oh, fuck off, mate.
You're not going to woo me by it's engineering.
It's beautifully tooled.
You're beautifully fucking tooled.
Why?
Because I've got an attractive penis.
I don't know.
I've never seen your squirrel's nuts.
When it's clean and it doesn't attract foliage.
Wildfowl.
Wildfowl.
That's what you should call your ex-girlfriends, mate.
That's really disrespectful.
That's what you should call your penis, the warthog.
I think they should call it the...
It's got two big fucking tusks on it.
It can find truffles in the woods.
I think they should call it... Can we end this segment, mate? on it. It can find truffles in the woods. I think they should call it...
Can we end this segment, mate?
We're losing it.
Chutney cannon.
Chutney cannon.
Aren't you funny and original?
Well done.
We ended the segment with another...
Get that bird here to peck on my chutney.
No, the owl.
Do you want some chutney?
Oh, he's regurgitating it.
He doesn't like it.
No, but that's what owls do.
He's going to make a chutney.
He's actually regurgitating it into Cheeky Bird's mouth.
That's what owls do.
He's sapping your penis chutney
and regurgitating it into Cheeky Bird's mouth.
That'll teach you, Cheeky Bird, won't it?
Paul, I have one thing.
You know, owls make pellets.
Yes.
It's a chutney pellet.
Right, well, there we go.
It's all done now.
Let's end this segment because we're going on to noodles.
Dick chutney pellet.
Shut up.
None of us showcased nothing.
None of us showcased nothing.
He's the noodle doodle man.
He's got noodles in his hand.
He just rubs them on his gland.
He's the noodle doodle man.
I've come on this noodle.
I've spunked on this noodle.
I come on noodles.
I comes out my knob.
Oh, dear. Very embarrassing for you, that, out my knob. Oh, dear.
Very embarrassing for you, that, wasn't it? Oh, dear.
Why do we go, oh, dear?
What's that for?
It's one of my tropes.
It's one of my tropes.
It's a shit trope.
When I want to undercut something embarrassing, you do.
It's a shit trope.
Yeah?
Yeah.
You know what else is a shit trope?
What else is a shit trope?
Over-reliance on spunk for humour.
And I'm as guilty of it as you.
But we've got to keep an eye on it, mate.
Because we can't keep doing masturbation gags, can we?
How long can we eek that out for?
I can eek out some spunk.
Spunk is sticky glue.
Anyway, welcome to the Instant Noodle Podcast kitchen,
whatever the fuck it's called.
It's the country urban.
I just thought that fucking dude,
he just deflated all my hope.
He's the noodle doodle man, he's got noodles in his hand and he rubs them on his gland.
Oh, he's the noodle oodle man.
Can I have a go, please?
Yeah.
Who's the chuffney?
Who's the chuffney?
Who's the chuffney?
He's in here now.
He's in here now. Who's the chuffney, he's in here now. He's in here now.
Who's Chuffney?
Hello, everyone.
Wide-eye squirting like flour.
How can you squirt flour?
It's a powder.
I can squirt flour.
You can't.
You're confusing it with dust, mate.
You pump out dust from your fucking sad metres.
I eke out dust out my metres when I'm having too much.
How can you fucking ejaculate?
It's like watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang backfire, isn't it?
Hang on.
Bang, bang.
That's either the engine.
It's also either the engine.
I think it was...
That's more realistic in terms of what it looks like
when I've spunk out my willy.
Do you want to start from the actual top?
Can you start from the actual top?
Yeah, but don't do the noodle oodle shit.
All right, we'll start it again.
He's the noodle doodle man.
He's got noodles in his hand.
Then he rubs them on his clam.
He's a noodle doodle man.
Well, at least you got the lyrics down.
So, hello everyone.
I enjoy instant noodles.
And that's all we have time for.
No, we don't.
And that's our cold open.
No, we're going to enjoy an instant noodle today, Paul.
We are, yes.
We haven't enjoyed an instant noodle in a while, have we?
Hopefully we'll enjoy it.
This is a noodle manufactured by Doll.
Doll.
They're a big
Chinese corporation
that make noodles.
Living Doll.
I'm just going to
just drop all the gags.
It's good, this, isn't it?
Doll.
Ross Abbott's madhouse.
Doll has a special place
in my heart.
Yeah.
Because it was the first
instant noodle
I ever came across.
He's the noodle doodle man.
He's got noodles
in his hand and he rubs them on his gland. He's the noodle doodle man, he's got noodles in his hand and he rubs
them on his gland, he's the noodle
doodle man. Squirting his
gloodle. When I was in boarding
school, we were only, for some
reason, maybe they were in the tuck shop or something
or the local supermarket, we only
had access to Dole brand noodles back
then. I don't think, all you
had back in the 80s, in
terms of noodles in this country was uh
was pot noodles really yeah or bachelor's super which we need to do because i don't know we've
done them and they were fucking awful and why bother thick gloopy mess that doesn't even stand
up to a pot noodle no really that's what i think i would much rather have any pot noodle oh maybe
not any but most pot noodles over any bachelor's super noodle,
but dull chicken flavor.
Are they cheap doll?
Yes.
They're very much on the,
on the cheaper end.
Even noodles in these,
this market have gone up so much.
Well,
they've almost doubled in price.
Yeah.
What is that?
A Brexit thing?
Maybe it's an inflation thing.
Yeah.
Anyway,
you got these at your boarding school,
but I did say,
see some
indomie noodles
for three for a pound still
so that was the standard
you could get them
for three for a pound
about a year ago
but nowadays
they've gone from
three for a pound
to two for a pound
oh dear
Brexit Britain
whatever percentage
increase that is
I don't think it is
yeah I don't know
work it out
no
I'm not fucking doing any maths
doll noodle was the first noodle
I ever came across.
Chicken Dole, which is a delicious...
I just want to make sure you don't confuse that with ejaculation over the noodle biscuit.
He means his discovery of these noodles.
Is it the biscuit?
I call it the biscuit.
The biscuit.
Yeah.
The noodle biscuit.
The soggy noodle biscuit.
Well, again, you did go to boarding school, so it would not surprise me if your penis was
attached by a piece of string into the centre
of a table that someone could just pull. What?
Wasn't there a boarding school game where
all the boys take a piece of string
and they wrap it around their penis, and then
they, big long string, and then it all comes
up from the middle of the table or whatever, and then you
splay it out, and the idea is like,
you splay out all the strings.
You splay out the strings up from the middle? Okay, let me break
it down. So I've got a special table.
Teenage boys around the table.
I've got a special table with a hole in it.
Or a table that has a...
What do I have to do?
Do I go to woodwork to get this string hole for my table?
The point is...
My wank table.
No one knows what string is attached to what penis.
And the game would be, you'd grab a string and yank it.
And it might be your own or it might be someone else's.
I see.
But they would go, oh, me willy,
after you pull it, right?
Like Russian roulette.
Yeah.
Like communal Russian roulette with penises.
Yes.
What could that be called?
I think it could be called
next year's digitiser
deluxe episode.
How about
Bill Shankly's
string yanklies?
Lob on lottery.
Yeah. The ball bag bingo. Yeah. Now you're getting there. Now we're getting it. Lob on lottery.
Yeah.
The ball bag bingo.
Yeah.
Now you're getting there. Now we're getting it.
Foreskin.
Foreskin forfeit.
Foreskin fruit machine.
The one-armed bandit.
There you go.
There we go.
Now there you go.
And we'll move on.
So this is doll.
I was there in boarding school
and I was introduced to this noodle.
Derek Griffiths of Play School.
Not this particular noodle.
No, but the brand, Doll.
The Doll brand.
And what was that brand
that of interest at this time?
What brand?
What was the make of noodle that it was?
I know it was Doll,
but what was it?
Was it a flavoured one?
Yeah, chicken, I just said.
Okay, I wasn't listening.
Which is the most basic.
I don't listen.
I think chicken was the first flavour
that Cup Noodle did.
I mean, it's your base biscuit, isn't it?
It's the most basic of instant noodles is the chicken flavour. It's like the ready flavour that cup noodle did? I mean, it's your base biscuit, isn't it? It's the most basic of instant noodles
is the chicken flavour. It's like the ready salted
of the noodle world. Yes, it's very
salted. In many ways.
You don't get a ready salted noodle. Anyway,
Derek Griffiths' whatever.
Are you going to tell about how you had sex with her?
Because we have done that. No. And you've done it
quite a few times recently as well, which
kind of makes me think you're weirdly proud of this.
I don't think you should bring that up here.
All right, well, then what are you going to talk about instead?
She said, oh, it's really nice with chocolate, this doll noodle.
Right.
And I had it with chocolate, and I thought, that is quite nice.
In what way?
Did you do shavings of it on it?
I think I put some cocoa in with the hot water.
Okay, like hot chocolate cocoa.
Yeah.
Or cake cocoa, I guess, or whatever. I think it was hot chocolate cocoa. Okay bake a cake cocoa i guess or whatever i think
it was hot chocolate okay you mix it in with the hot water then put the thing in and absorbed it
and it cooked the noodle and i ate the noodle and i thought that's actually quite nice and then she
laughed at me and said i was only joking and you did it well yeah yeah but jokes on her because
you actually might have invented something which 20 years from now we'll see this kind of cuisine
experiment de la art or something you know we made a sweet noodle as a special
Urine Vision video,
didn't we?
And also, when I was a kid,
my mate had a fucking
hand blender,
so we made all kinds
of milkshakes
out of whatever we could
find in the kitchen.
Did you include
savoury items in that?
Yeah, I did like
a mushroom milkshake
and we did a beer milkshake
and it was like
something we did
every other weekend
when we hung out.
We'd see which gross thing
we could make to eat.
Like George's Marvelous Medicine.
These days, that's 10 weeks of YouTube content.
But back in the day, it was good, wholesome fun.
Yes.
I think there's something to be said
for the taste of potato with chocolate.
And the Japanese,
they have chocolate on their potato products all the time.
They have, in place of ketchup,
they'll have chocolate syrup on their fries.
They eat that all the time. What are we having ketchup they'll have chocolate syrup and their fries yeah all
right then they eat that all the time what we're having today also side note can we do that chocolate
recipe on a cheap show i think we should try we should try it i should try and find a dull noodle
though a dull chicken yeah or at least get a plane because i've been hey how about this we get a plane
we get a chicken we get another flavor we add the chocolate to each one and we see how it affects
the flavor of each which um which goes best with chocolate. Yeah.
Yeah.
Very good.
Okay.
Very good.
See, I get invested
when I feel there's a point.
Thank you.
And we can call it
the experimental...
Well, it is the Test Lab Kitchen,
isn't it?
It's the Test Lab Kitchen.
And we haven't done
any massive tests in there
for a while.
We haven't.
And today we are just going
to simply do a little
noodle review of this noodle.
Of what is it?
It's a doll noodle
and it is a doll spicy artificial beef flavour.
And then it says in brackets, stir type.
So do you remember what that means?
It means you pour it into the hot water and then drain it.
You drain the water off before you mix it with the flavours.
And it sticks.
It's not a soup noodle.
It's a stir fried.
Yeah.
It just says stir type. Funny. So how many bags is it? We need to open it now before we get into it. Let's not a soup noodle it's a stir fried yeah it just says stir type funny so
how many bags is it we need to open it now before we get into it look but i did want to mention it
has very fiery so it's it's emphasizing the spice and i can't help but feel that doll here are trying
to jump on the sam young yeah spicy chicken ramen aesthetically the package is not too dissimilar to
the spicy chicken ramen stuff yeah which i thinkically, the package is not too dissimilar to the spicy chicken ramen.
Which I think has been the biggest story
in instant noodles in recent years.
Yeah, shame that.
Right, so open it up and find out how many packs it is
and then we're going to hop and skip
across the sound effect to the prepared meal.
Now I can see these aren't like Korean Samyang noodles
because they're much thinner.
And that's why I like those thinner noodles.
Angel hair kind of thing like those thinner noodles angel hair
kind of thing there is almost angel hair so look yeah oh yeah but it's not it's not unusually thin
no but all the korean noodles i find have thicker ones that take longer to cook they usually ask for
three uh five minutes in the boiling water rather than right um three and i just don't like them as
much that thicker instant noodle right more the k the Korean brand. How many packs of balls? I'm losing focus.
Come on, mate.
And if you want me to stay engaged, you need to spin through this.
Now, this is very much like a Samyang hot chicken ramen.
There's just one wet pack.
So you get the water off this once it's cooked.
Add the sauce.
Mixy mixy.
You know?
Very similar.
So they are definitely doing a spicy chicken ramen clone.
But they've changed the meat to beef.
Okay.
I think that's better.
That's how they're distinguishing.
I'd prefer that to chicken.
Do you?
Yeah.
I don't know why.
I think sizzly beef is a bit more fun.
It'd be a bit more interesting anyway.
So I think it's only fair for us to compare this
from what we remember of the spicy chicken ramen.
We did the two times.
Did we also did the normal one once, didn't we?
I think so, yeah.
And they have all sorts of different sub-brands in that now.
I'm going to need to seriously move on,
because I am beginning to genuinely space out.
So every time I think we're getting to the point
where we can log off this moment,
you go and drop something fast.
Log off from a moment?
I'm logging off from this moment.
You've destroyed your brain.
Mate, I'm about to log off right now, unless we get this kettle on. You've destroyed your brain. Mate, I'm about to log off right now unless we get this kettle on.
You've destroyed your brain.
Yeah.
Through social media.
Yeah.
Basically.
Yeah.
You have no attention anymore.
I've lost...
Who are you?
Shut up.
Let's get a noodle on.
Shall we get our noodle on?
Let's cook this noodle.
Paul, what are you hoping for from this noodle?
Beef.
This is the bit where we just cut to the sound effect.
Oh, I can't wait. Cut to the sound effect. Oh, I can't wait.
Cut to the sound effect.
Look at what they...
No.
Cut to the sound effect.
Okay.
Say it.
Cut to the sound effect.
We'll see you after that
for we're going to taste
these noodles.
Fucking hell. And we're back.
Hot from the kitchen.
We've been in the Country Urban Noodle Test Lab kitchen.
How do you feel the process went there, Paul?
Simple pimples.
Very simple noodle and almost identical in its construction
to, like we keep saying paul the very famous
samyang hot chicken ramen uh noodle which is one big wet sauce pack one big wet pack and you drain
the water off the noodle and then you put the sauce pack on it simple pimple and you mixed it
what's the huff report reporting the report from the huff report that i'm reporting with now with
import i want you to report on the huff report that I'm reporting with now. With import. I want you to report
on the Huff Report, please. It is important.
It is important. And with great import
I want you to... That's not a word. It is.
It actually fucking is.
As is the use of obtuse to describe
certain things. You didn't say obtuse.
I did. So, you can either go on
about it right now or you can eat your fucking noodle
before I stab you with this fucking fork.
Paul. Sorry, I lost with this fucking fork. Paul.
Sorry, I lost it then. You did.
Stop.
Now, I just need to clear this up
because you are being
a mouth idiot.
That's rich coming from a fucking...
Just a normal idiot.
Gob clown.
You can do something...
Something can have great import,
meaning it's important,
but you can't do it with import.
You can.
I absolutely refuse to accept that.
I don't care.
That's not true.
Just because you refuse to accept it doesn't mean anything to me.
Please, everyone, correct this idiot.
Please, everyone, just fucking tell Eli he's a big, stupid prick.
They won't, though.
They will.
Why are you being so nasty?
Because you just come at me.
You've said that I smell bad.
You pernicket.
You pernicket me.
Pernickety.
You tried to say that my shits are as bad
as Billy Gibbons.
I mean,
you micro-correct me,
which I hate.
But Paul,
you speak so much shit.
I will stab you
with a fork
unless you tell me
about the hoof.
So why don't you
just do it
and you don't have to worry
about getting a fork
in the eye,
do you?
I'm not going to do it.
Come on,
stab me.
All right.
Ah! He's poked me. All right. Ah!
He's poked me with a fork!
Ow!
Fuck you!
Yeah?
Well, come on, man.
I'm just not...
I'm not going to do this now.
You're not?
Ever.
No!
Have I deflated you with my prong?
He's actually been physically violent towards me, everyone. I actually gently jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-jub-j I'm handing him the bowl. Oh, I've got a fork. Oh. Where did that come from? I don't know. Perhaps you armed yourself in the kitchen because you knew you were going to fucking hurt me.
It was on the side, just there.
Right, it's fine.
We've got three forks, but two mouths.
Don't taste it.
Smell it.
I'm going to taste and then smell.
Smell then taste.
Nah.
Oh, God, you're being such a cunt.
It's a little beefy, but there is a lot of pepper there.
There's a lot of, like, chili, peppery kind of thing.
I'm going to eat some.
Ooh. She's a spicy. That's an interesting one. There's a lot of like chili peppery kind of thing. I'm going to eat some. Oh,
she's a spicy.
That's an interesting one.
It's almost buttery.
What's funny about that?
What is funny about me
calling the flavor
that slightly buttery?
If you know,
you know.
Why?
Because
it's one of your
It's not.
I don't say buttery a lot.
Have you said it
the last three times you've tasted anything? It's not. I don't say buttery a lot. Have you said it the last three times you've tasted anything?
It's not.
I've not said that.
You have.
Go look back.
When have I said buttery?
Buttery.
When?
Give me an example exactly to the food I described as buttery.
You can't.
I was listening to last week's episode.
You said buttery.
You said buttery last week.
Ah, I reckon dush, dush, my friend.
No, I'm sorry.
Dush, dush.
I will drop this, okay? Dush, dush. I will drop this, okay?
Dush dush.
I will drop this, Paul.
Yeah.
But I just want to say, for those in the know,
buttery is the new crumbly.
It's the new sharp.
Yeah, well, for those noodle fashionistas.
It's you, fashionistas.
Fashionistas, fashionistas.
What's the word?
Fashionistas.
Fascists.
No.
I'm a noodle Nazi.
You heard it here first.
Oh, this is a very nice noodle.
They're definitely on every level trying to replicate those Samyang hot ramen.
Don't you think there is a buttery aftertaste?
Regardless of how many times I fucking use that word, do you agree there's a kind of
beefy, kind of succulent meat, buttery kind of, you know what I mean?
I think what you're talking about, Paul, in your clack-handed way,
which we all love, we all love the way you make mistakes with your mouth,
but I think what you're talking about is the umami,
a sort of umami, a mouthfeel.
Yeah?
Yes.
So you agree?
I think it's, up front, it's a bit too hot,
and it takes a while for the palate to recognise the beef flavour.
I can't, I'm not getting any beef.
I am getting a pleasing umami
yeah there is that but for me there's that kind of like steak charred steak aftertaste which is
funny because on the illustration it shows us a blackened steak yeah on the illustration on the
noodle but i think the chili heat comes up too fast too quick and by the time like you've gotten
over that you've got the aftertaste which in a respect makes you go for the second bite right
i'm getting that butter now paul i know what you mean you're got the aftertaste which in a respect makes you go for the second bite right I'm getting that butter now Paul
I know what you mean
you're getting that butter now
it's in the mid palate
the butter
after the spice hits
and the sweetness
and the spice hits up front
then you have a sort of butter
and then at the end
it's almost like
it's almost like
there's a sauce
like a kind of
dressing flavour afterwards
I think that's quite nice
I like that a lot
can you compare it
in your mind to when you've had a Samyang hot chicken ramen look I think that's quite nice. I like that a lot. Can you compare it in your mind
to when you've had
a Samyang hot chicken ramen?
Look, I think the Samyang
is all heat
and very little flavour.
I couldn't think back
on that and go chicken.
Yeah, I think this has got
more nuance than that.
Well, this is what I'm saying.
The aftertaste is what I think
will bring you in
for that second bite
where the other one's
more of endurance
of just the heat.
I give it a noodle up.
Don't try and shitify this, mate.
I'm doing it.
Noodle down or noodle up?
I want a score out of five from you. I give it four noodle up. Don't try and shitify this, mate. I'm doing it. Noodle down or noodle up? I want a score out of five from you.
I give it four noodles.
Okay.
There we go.
How many noodles do you think?
Do you think that's a noodle you might prepare?
Do you want four as well?
Four noodles?
Yeah.
Four.
Thank you.
I did five, sorry.
Yeah, I did five.
Thank you, Paul.
No, that was five again.
That's it.
Really?
That sounded like three. No. Thank you. And I give it. Woo-hoo Paul. No, that was five again. That's it. Really? That sounded like three.
No.
Thank you.
And I give it.
No, get the chutney out of here.
They're all back.
I love that when I break you.
I love it.
Because your body goes from like ready into attack mode to just complete deflated.
Oh, what am I doing with my life?
Paul, I'm enjoying your new rating scheme, though,
and I won't give it.
See if you can work out what this is.
Noodle, oodle, oodle, oodle, oodle, oodle, oodle, oodle.
You've done two in one then.
You went noodle, oodle,
which is two.
It's noodle, oodle, oodle, oodle.
That's four.
No.
Noodle, oodle, oodle, oodle, four.
You can't go noodle, oodle, oodle, oodle, oodle, oodle, oodle.
I was doing that, wasn't I?
That was doing fucking double noodles.
Double oodles. If that was out of ten,
we'd be onto something. But then you'd still have,
what if it was seven? Noodle, oodle, oodle, oodle,
oodle, oodle, oodle. It wouldn't sound right,
would it? Right, how would I do five
then? Noodle, oodle, oodle,
oodle, oodle. Noodle, oodle, oodle,
oodle, oodle. Noodle, oodle, oodle, oodle, oodle.
Five oodles.
Five oodles of noodles. Paul, would you, canodle. Noodle, oodle, oodle, oodle, oodle. Five oodles. Five oodles of noodles.
Paul, can you see yourself
using your life choices?
Yeah, my life choices.
Everything that's brought me to today.
And basically today's episode
in its entirety.
I mean, in terms of mental health,
I'm feeling better than last week.
You are good.
I'm glad, but I think we've got...
Lood, lood, lood, lood, lood.
I think we've got...
Listen.
Slowly turning into a...
Don't get your cock out.
The chutney owl needs it.
Does the chutney owl need to feast?
Look, the chutney owl's been hanging around.
It's been after my chutney.
And by chutney, I mean my hardened dick sweat.
Here we go.
Give the owl what it needs.
There it goes.
Satiated.
God, it was quite vicious, that.
Well, it does go for the chutney.
It was like getting right in there.
It was like your beak on his.
It was just like... That's how it's evolved.
He got a lot out of that.
He's got a very wetted beak.
His beak has a kind of, I don't know, like a hook to it,
which really gets under.
Yes, and that's got a technical term.
Does it?
Chutneyers, truffle-ufflers.
And that's this week's Cold Open.
We'll see you after the break.
Chutney truff, truff.
What's that trowel?
That's it.
This is it.
Sorry, sorry.
The owl has a chutney trowel.
Sorry, Eli.
What were you trying to say?
I was trying to say that physiological characteristic
that you noticed on the chutney owl is unique to their species,
and it's called the chutney trowel.
Chutney trowel.
The chutney, not chuckney.
The chuckney towel.
No, not the chuckney towel. It is the chuckney towel. It's the chutney trowel. It chutney, not chuckney. The chuckney towel. No, not the chuckney towel. It is.
It's the chuckney trowel. It's old
chuckney town. No, it's old
chunky king trowel.
And that's this week's episode, everyone.
Crickle cut.
No, I wanted to ask you, though.
What? Come on, let's end this episode.
I just wanted to ask you, stop trying
to fucking interrupt so quickly, and then we get to the end
quicker because we communicate. Well, you interrupt me to say nothing.
It's like doing a podcast with the Invisible Man.
Except the Invisible Man isn't invisible.
He's just annoying.
The Annoying Man.
The Annoying Man.
Memoirs of an Annoying Man.
Today, I fucked off my co-host.
Right.
I said chutney trowel.
Where's a day?
You can't say chutney trowel. That's your problem. Chutney trowel. No, you can't say it. You can't say it. Spot on. Chutney trowel. Where's a day? You can't say chutney trowel.
That's your problem.
Chutney trowel.
No, you can't say it.
You can't say it.
Spot on.
Chutney trowel.
No, not chutney.
Chutney trowel.
What is chutney?
Is that chutney made from what you chuck out the end of your knob?
Yes.
Can we end this episode, please?
Chutney.
Oh, I've chucked my...
Chutney.
Stop it.
Stop it.
Or I'll release the owls
and there's a whole bunch of them
is there
he's done several
it's a whole tribe of chutney owls
look they're all
talking to each other
it's a whole barn
I think that
one chutney owl
got the best bit
of my chutney
and then
they're all arguing
and they're fighting over scraps tonight yeah because there's no chutney left you're going to have your cock pecked to death by the chutney owl got the best bit of my chutney, and then they were all arguing. And they're fighting over scraps tonight.
Yeah, because there's no chutney left.
You're going to have your cock pecked to death by the chutney owls.
No, there's no chutney left.
Yeah, well, there won't be.
There's no aromatic chutney, fresh chutney.
Please, let's just wrap this up.
Come on, mate.
We're doing so well.
I just wanted you to know.
I just wanted to ask you, rather.
I like it.
We've had that.
Would you have it?
Yeah. Would you pick it out and have it? If I was having it with something else, like it we've had that would you have it would you pick it out
and have it
if I was having it
with something else
like some veg and things
or whatever
I think it's nice
spruce it up a little bit
it's extremely spicy
how about you fuck off
and carry on eating it then
while I'll do the admin
so we can
I can just
quieten your whole mic
right now
so you can slurp away
like a fucking
warthog
warthog.
Warthogs. Let me finish.
Don't add.
Don't amend.
Don't correct.
Let me finish.
Yes?
No, go back to scarfing down your noodle meat.
I don't want no more.
Well, then put it down.
So you're not like scraping at it like a noodle Oliver Twist.
Please, sir.
Can I have some ramen?
Sam, think for... I'm not doing Oliver riffs on noodles.
Right, we're moving on.
Please, sir, can I have some soy sauce?
Right, next, we're moving on.
So, thank you for listening to Cheap Show.
Right.
I'll do it.
No, I'll do it.
Thecheapshow.co.uk.
It's your one-stop shop for everything.
There are pictures and videos and links to digitizer

support them on patreon well you can we have a patreon page it's patreon.com forward slash cheap
show give what you can but only if you can years of extra content there video episodes magazines uh behind the scenes all kinds of wonderful bits and bobs for
you over the past couple of years noodle stuff and we're on twitter for whatever that's worth now
we're also on threads for whatever that's worth so the cheap let's no the cheap show is on threads
yeah cheap show pod is on you'll find us by uh But I'm still on Twitter for the time being, Paul.
E-L-I-S-N-O-I-D is Eli's thing,
and I have run out of fucks for Twitter
because Elon Musk is a fat-necked cunt.
What a fucking cunt.
What a fucking cunt.
It's funny.
For some reason, all of a sudden,
my timeline is mostly sex bots liking tweets from five years ago.
I'm still just getting those products, those Wish.com style products.
All that stuff.
Hey, do you want an egg washer?
This washes your egg.
Why do I need to wash an egg?
But also, I got a notification today.
I thought, oh, a notification.
Yeah.
And it was like, do you want to follow Elon Musk and get his extra content?
Fuck no.
Oh, what's this one?
Notification.
Would you like to stick a hot pin up your meters? Oh, yes, please. In fact, can I What's this one? Notification. Would you like to stick a hot pin up your meters?
Oh, yes, please.
In fact, can I have more than one?
You see, that's another trope, Paul.
The hot pin up the meters.
You love that.
Why do you fantasize about it?
It wouldn't be.
Depending, if it was just a warm pin, it'd be quite nice, wouldn't it?
What I'm saying is, if you put it into the meters,
there's plenty of room in most men's meters to get the end of a pin down there.
So it'd have to be burning burning hot so perhaps you could say red hot pin down my meters or perhaps you could go around the back where the chocolate's made and that's this week's cold open we'll see
