CheapShow - Ep 345: The Miss World War

Episode Date: August 11, 2023

Some weeks on CheapShow, things get a little weirder than usual. This is one of those episodes. This week, Paul and Eli enter into the world of “Miss World” competitions. They’ve been given a bo...ard game, from the 1970s, that allows young girls a taste of a glamourous pageantry lifestyle. As they learn more about the world-famous beauty contest, the cheap chaps uncover some quite surprising facts. During gameplay, they’ll travel the world, putting on Vegas shows, auditioning for TV adverts and smuggling diamonds out of South Africa!! Who will win the crown? Whoever wins, we’ll all lose. Before all that, Juicy Jeremy has sent a parcel of pop, with three new, cheap soft drinks to evaluate! What will they make of Inca Cola, which is described as a “champagne cola”? Will the two limited edition Irn-Bru drinks pass muster? All will be revealed (maybe too much)!

Starting point is 00:07:57 The Discount Suit Company. The Discount Suit Company, near the Bricklanes, isn't it? It's near there? Not really. It's much more. Liverpool Street, isn't it? Petticoat Lane is where it is. Oh, yeah. Petticoat Lane. Oh, it's very near Bricklane., isn't it? It's near there? Not really. It's much more. Liverpool Street, isn't it?

Starting point is 00:08:16 Two ladies and one bloke, who I think was going out with one of the ladies. Right. Good. And she came over, and she went, do you take requests? And I was like, yeah, you know, yes. All right. That's the first thing I say these days. I'm a reformed requests? And I was like, yeah, you know, yes. All right. That's the first thing I say these days. I'm a reformed character.
Starting point is 00:08:28 I'm not just going to, you know. You're a reformed mind. I am a reformed character. Yes, I will. I mean, and then she said, oh, can you do soul to soul? And I went, no, I haven't got that. Then she went away. Like back to life.

Starting point is 00:08:55 However do you want me? She's singing to me. However do you need me? How? However do you want me? However. Are you trying to say it's quite a tune then? It is. I think it's a fine tune. Why don't you have it? I. Are you trying to say it's quite a tune then? It is.
Starting point is 00:09:05 I think it's a fine tune. Why don't you have it? I want to hear it right now. Because it was peak CD for one thing. Okay, so peak CD. You could get it on vinyl very easily.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Yeah, probably. It's just too... All right, you don't have it. Okay, good, fine. She comes up, she's singing it. What did you do? I said, no, I don't have that.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Then she came back a third time and said, however do you want me or something? And I was said, no, I don't have that. And then she came back a third time. Oh, no. And said, however do you want me or something? And I was like, no, no. And I actually raised my voice on this third occasion. Because it was just like, you are literally asking for the same thing over and over again. That's what happens to people when they get drunk.
Starting point is 00:09:36 They start this repetitive. Yeah. And they just keep saying the same thing over and over again. Do they think they can change reality by getting more drunk? I mean, I must have been like that when I'm pissed sometimes. You've been like that on this podcast. Just think about it.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Eli's been a bit drunk on this podcast before, sometimes every week. Oh, shut up! It's about time I bring this up. Your drink problem. You could count on the fingers of one hand how many times I've been drunk on this podcast. If that hand belonged to Wobble Monster III
Starting point is 00:10:07 from the planet Goobalon, we've got 20,000 fingers. They have 20,000 fingers. So that's how many times. Okay, let's just take that number. 20,000. That's how many times I've been drunk on the podcast. And we're on what number podcast are we?

Starting point is 00:17:16 Yeah, a little bit hungry. But how are you boys? You boys been keeping your old tootsies all wrapped up well? Yeah, our tootsies have been wrapped up very well. Well, I'm in... Where are you then? I'm in... I can't really say because since the Redknob Day incident, we've all been kind of keeping low, you know, because I tell you what,
Starting point is 00:17:44 the Milton Keynes area... What, the Milton Keynes area. What about the Milton Keynes area? That's where I am, and the sody pop out here, oh, it's so poor. Not like in the old days, my daddy used to make the sody fresh from the sody pop well.
Starting point is 00:17:59 Well. You should have seen the spigot, the old-timey syrup spigot he had on the side of that well. And it'd come up naturally fizzy. Wait, you had naturally fizzy occurring soda syrups? Yeah, yeah, that's right. It was the first in all of old-timey Oklahoma. Why are you living in your jalopy then or something?
Starting point is 00:18:21 No, the jalopy's in a safe place. But anyway, I sent you that box. Oh, this is from you. I guess this makes sense. You sent a few drinks to us. Some sody pops in there because I still need the feedback on the sody pops. All right, well, we've got these sody pops and we'll give you a feedback on it. Now, there's no number on this thing.
Starting point is 00:18:41 How do we call you back? Don't bother calling me back. This is what they call a burning phone. A burning phone. Oh, yeah, now I know what you mean. Yeah, a burning phone. So it won't be available on this number after, but I've left detailed instructions in the old boxy box.
Starting point is 00:19:00 It has a little drop point. What does that mean? Well, you go to a certain corner in Bletchley. What happens in Bletchley? You drop off your scores for the sodium. Oh, okay. So we can't call you back or you can't call us, but we have to go all the way to fucking Bletchley
Starting point is 00:19:17 and leave a note where? There's a detailed instruction in the box. All right, I'll check the notes. I'll check the notes. Hang on. Hang on, right. You've just written the word Bletchley. There's a corner in Bletchley.
Starting point is 00:19:30 You won't... You didn't write anything other than Bletchley. It just says go Bletchley. Go Bletchley. Yeah, but you make it sound like a sports team, you fuck. Anyway, my boys, really can't stay on for long. We don't know who'll be monitoring the old timey radio waves. Let me say just one thing before I go.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Jewelikers, that's what I wanted to say. Oh, Jewelikers. Jalopy. Right, well, I'm going to hang up, and we're going to do these things, and then we're going to write it up and fucking deliver it to Bletchley. Okay, thanks very much, boys. You're my boys. All right.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Oh, my boys, my boys. Bye-bye, my boys. Beep. Oh, my boys, my boys. Bye-bye, my boys. Beep. Oh, yeah, Eli, you were silent for most of that for some reason. Well, I couldn't hear what he was saying. What was he saying, Paul? Fair enough. That was the thing we were doing.
Starting point is 00:20:14 He was saying, bye, boys, my boys. Here's some drinks. Have them and fucking write me a letter and post it to Bletchley. Yeah, Bletchley, yeah. Why Bletchley? I like to Bletchley. Yeah, Bletchley, yeah. Why Bletchley? I like saying Bletchley. I do. Do you know where Bletchley is?
Starting point is 00:20:30 Is it next to Blotchley? It's just south of Milton Keynes. Okay, so it's a Milton Keynes based... It's basically the southern tip of Milton Keynes. Wasn't that the place where they had the code breaking house or something? That's right. Bletchley. Hey, what has that got a relation to?
Starting point is 00:20:45 Is there a code thing? I don't know. Because Juicy Jeremy did say to me sometimes, that's where he said, he mentioned that's where we need to drop the scores. Yeah, he said,
Starting point is 00:20:53 literally there's a note in there that says send scores to Bletchley. But no, like, corner of the street or park. He did say that he had ancestors who were like
Starting point is 00:21:02 active in the Bletchley area. Well, in the CIA. Really? During the Second World War, yeah. Juicy Jeremy. Didn't I see him on stage recently trying to steal recipes from someone? Didn't I see him in Digi Live stealing recipes?
Starting point is 00:21:16 That seemed to be him. From Piccadilly Lily. Yeah, that seemed to be him. Yeah. There's a lot of that about, isn't there? A lot of high-pitched characters drinking muck. What's all that about, isn't it? Well, you know, Juicy Jeremy just gets us to drink the muck. What's all that about, innit? Well, you know,
Starting point is 00:21:27 GC Jeremy just gets us to drink the muck. Talking of which... Talking of which, we have some muck to drink today. We do. We're going to tell you what they are very briefly and then we're going to take a quick break and come back with some ice because we know how important that is to our listeners
Starting point is 00:21:37 that we have fucking ice. Ice? Come on, it's better. It is a better way of tasting a soda. On a side note... If it's not chilled. If it's chilled from the fridge Then that's fine
Starting point is 00:21:46 It wasn't though But we do need ice Because these aren't chilled Side note Vanilla ice What a fucking awful artist he is And was And will probably always be
Starting point is 00:21:56 Are you saying this Because he's Lurched rightward No I've seen Because I bought an album With one of his tracks on And it was fucking awful
Starting point is 00:22:03 He took Play that funky music, White Boy. Yeah. And stripped out the important part of the song, which is the funk part of the song. I remember that one.
Starting point is 00:22:10 And it's like, it's rapping so like lazy. I am the man with the ice machine. Come over here. I'll make you my dream. I'm a rapper, rapper, a rap all day.
Starting point is 00:22:19 It is fucking that basic. And then on the same Now album, there's MC Hammer, Pray, or That's Why We Pray, whatever that track's called. And for whatever people say about MC Hammer,
Starting point is 00:22:28 that's a fucking proper song, that one, with some reasonably okay lyrics and patter. MC Hammer was an infinitely better rapper than Vanilla Ice. I don't think this is
Starting point is 00:22:38 a controversial point of view. I've been sitting on this for years now, and I'm glad I finally got to get it off my chest. MC Hammer is better than Vanilla Ice. Vanilla Ice was essentially a one-hit wonder. No, he had Turtle Rap.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Don't you forget that. Turtle Rap wasn't a hit. Go, Ninja. Go, Ninja. Go. Also, in that song we just mentioned, he goes, go, white boy. Go, white boy.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Go. In another song I heard on the radio recently, he goes, go, Ice. Go, Ice. Go, Ice. He's infatuated with distance and going in a direction, isn't he? He's more sort of on the Kid Rock end of the sort of white rapper spectrum, isn't he? Kid Rock? Skidcock, more like.
Starting point is 00:23:14 Yeah. Vanilla Ice. Scampi Dick. Fanny Illa Ice. That was awful. Sick Vagina Ice. Yeah. Vanilla.
Starting point is 00:23:26 Sarsaparilla mice Yeah That's what we're going to go Anyway Let's go get some ice For these drinks And come back And tell you what they are
Starting point is 00:23:34 Ooh I've got a thirst on Right then Juicy Jeremy Has given us Three drinks this week, although, let's be honest, two of them did come from a Digitizer Live show. I believe it was Sasha.
Starting point is 00:23:51 She gave us a big bag of stuff. These drinks are a part of that bag. So what do you want to start with? What would you like to start with? I think we should start with the Inca Gold, and then we're going to get onto those because that will be a comparison, won't it? I brought those.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Yeah, so... Have you said what any of these are yet? We're going to do it one at a time. Keep the surprise. Keep them guessing. And also, when they read the metadata, they'll just know it's Iron Brew in this. So we'll crack on. We'll crack on.
Starting point is 00:24:12 We're special Iron Brew. I'm just saying, I'm thinking we should leave that to delay my gratification because I'm very interested. Very interested. Because Iron Brew is such a big brand. Big brand. Big old brand. It's a big brand baby.
Starting point is 00:24:25 I'm a big brand man. I don't know what I'm doing. This first... Just shut up. I didn't say anything. Just continue to be like that. Like what? Silent.
Starting point is 00:24:36 I'm waiting to say things. Obedient. Loving. Weirdo. Just be nice. Just be nice. I'm nice. I'm the nice one.
Starting point is 00:24:44 You're not the... You are not the nice one, you fucking pig. I'm the nice one, you gormless cunt. There we go. Yeah. You're making your own point against you, aren't you? What have I done? Right.
Starting point is 00:24:57 This first drink, Eli's sauce. This, Sabre original. Eli's sauce. Eli's sauce. Sabre original. I'm not even going to gratify that with a review. Gratify my sauce. I'm not even going to gratify that with a review. Gratify my sauce! I'm not splashing out on that.
Starting point is 00:25:09 That's the one he ignores. Inca Cola, with a K on it. Originated in 1935. Eli, you said you did some research. I did. This is from Peru. That's where Paddington comes from. It was a British family who emigrated to Peru in the 1910s, I believe.
Starting point is 00:25:24 Right. And they'd grown. They were the big soda manufacturers in Peru. Right. And they brought this out in 1935. What, this particular flavour that we're drinking right now? Because even though it says Inca Cola, it has to be stressed that this is not a brown drink.
Starting point is 00:25:38 No. And the Wikipedia article I read said it is in the category of champagne cola. And I'm sure we've covered that before. I'm going to look up champagne cola. This is deep, deep soda law going on with this stuff. With a champagne Coca-Cola in the sky. Shut up. Honestly.
Starting point is 00:25:59 I just want to know what that means. Or should I just put... Champagne cola. Yeah, I shouldn't put the coca in. I just did that to make the jokes can right
Starting point is 00:26:06 champagne cola cola champagne or champagne soda is a sweetened carbonated beverage produced mainly in the tropics of Latin America
Starting point is 00:26:13 former British West Indies is that it yeah and Pakistan cola champagne was invented in Puerto Rico by Angel Rilievo
Starting point is 00:26:21 Mendez anyway the Lindley's oh wait there what's one of say actually says what it is here it's a popular soft drink in Puerto Rico blah blah blah by Angel Rilievo Mendez. Anyway, the Lindley's... Oh, wait there. I just want to say... It actually says what it is here. It's a popular soft drink in Puerto Rico, blah, blah, blah. It is typically a dark yellow
Starting point is 00:26:31 to light brown in colour with a flavour comparable to bubblegum or cream soda with no connection to champagne or cola at all. Yeah, so that's funny, isn't it? But that's why they say it with a K rather than a C.
Starting point is 00:26:42 They spell it with a K and this is very much on the darker yellow. I would say light yellow, but it's... It's almost lemony yellow, isn't it? Yes. Anyhow, Lindley had like five popular sodas out before this came onto the market, one of which was a champagne cola.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Oh, okay. Before they said, we're going to do an Inca cola. So that's just the same thing, but with their brand on it. No, this is based on a slightly different... This is based on the flavour of leban... Of leban... What's a leban? Lemon verbena.
Starting point is 00:27:11 The plant is. It's called a... Verbena. Lemon verbena. Right. Is what it's called. All right, good. So that's the flavour.
Starting point is 00:27:18 The article also said basically this is just like a champagne cola as well. Okay, well let's get it on. But this has been associated with nationalism in Peru, basically. Has it? They're really proud of this drink, and it's like a big symbol. Right.
Starting point is 00:27:31 You see? Yeah. They're proud of it in the way we'd be like bangers and mash. Oh, okay. Like it's our national drink, you mean. It's a big thing, yeah. Not that it doesn't want certain minorities to get out of their country. I don't know that much about Peruvian politics, but I'm saying...
Starting point is 00:27:45 Inca cola is a racist drink. It's a big deal for them in terms of it being a national symbol. It's fine, I got it. Eli's saying publicly that Inca cola is a fascist soft drink. Don't shut up. I'm going to crack on with that.
Starting point is 00:27:56 So open it up and let's pour it out. I've got ice in the cup. Do you want it to taste of cream soda? Do you like cream soda? Because it is described as a champagne cola in the sky, I would like it to taste of cream soda? I would like... Because it is described as a champagne cola in the sky, I would like it to taste like its origins.
Starting point is 00:28:10 I would like to know what that is. I'm hoping for the... I'm just mixing the glass in the ice and getting it frosty. What was the other thing that they said
Starting point is 00:28:15 champagne soda tasted of? Cream soda or... Bubble gum. Bubble gum. So, yeah. It'd be one or the other, won't it? You quite like bubble gum soda,
Starting point is 00:28:22 I do. That's basically kind of what ramune tastes like. No, they have specific bubble gum or the other, won't it? You quite like bubblegum so much, don't you? I do. That's basically kind of what ramune tastes like. No, they have specific bubblegum flavour ramunes, don't they? Oh, he's getting the top off. He's doing the old lighter under the capture. Because it's a glass bottle with a bottle top top bugger to get off this one. He's done it.
Starting point is 00:28:37 Ow. Oh. Oh, poor baby. Kiss better? Shut up. Can you kiss it better? Kiss better. Mouth noises. Go on. Shut up. Kiss it better? Kiss better.
Starting point is 00:28:46 Mouth noises. Go on, pour yours. Mouth noises. Why are you going to get the ice soft? No, I don't want melt water. It's because you're too busy talking shit. So just pour it in the glass while you can. I'm drinking off the melt water. Come on.
Starting point is 00:28:58 I'm drinking off the melt water. All right, good. I'll drink off my melt water. You need to drink off your melt water. I didn't have that much. Well, we don't want it to be diluted at all, really, do we? No, don't do it, good. I'll drink off my melt water. You need to drink off your melt water. I didn't have that much. Well, we don't want it to be diluted at all, really, do we? No, don't do it, really. Alright, I'll pour mine
Starting point is 00:29:10 now. It's a vibrant yellowy green. What's on the nose? Greeny yellow. Oh, I'm getting a lot of, yeah, bubble gum. Oh, yeah. It's almost actually ironbrewy. Is ironbrewy a bubble gummy drink? I guess it might be. Yeah, it's very similar to ironbrew on the nose, you're right. How funny, then, in that case, considering what's to come.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Well, maybe Iron Brew is almost like a champagne cola variant. Oh, that's really nice. And actually, the bubblegum flavour isn't that strong. It's kind of subtle. It's more... It actually has a bit of cream soda in the aftertaste. Yes. And it's not the sweetest soda I've had.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Not at all. No. That's quite refreshing, actually. So, yeah, up front, bubblegum. Back end, cream soda. Yes, that's nice. It's not sickly. No, not at all. It's not sickly refreshing, actually. So yeah, up front, bubblegum, back end, cream soda. Yes, that's nice. It's not sickly. No, not at all.
Starting point is 00:29:47 It's not sickly. It's got... What a lovely drink. Very good. You can see why people are into that. Imagine that really ice cold on a really hot day, you know. Oh, that'd be lovely on a really hot day. That's a really nice drink.
Starting point is 00:29:57 That's a good one, Juicy Jeremy. I like that. So what are we going to say out of five for that one? No, it's a new thing now. It's like, is it fizzy or is it flat? Did you say this on that phone call? Yeah. The shitification of Cheap Show continues unabated.
Starting point is 00:30:09 So now it's, is it fizzy or flat? No, absolutely not. Was it soda work or is it a soda jerk? What do you want? Which one? I do not want the shitification. Is it pop or is it fop? The binary in shitification must stop here.
Starting point is 00:30:24 Is it sody or is it a little bit toady infinitification must stop here. Is it sody? Or is it a little bit toady? You can do that if you like. I'm going to say it's either fizzy or flat. I'm going to say fizzy for me. It's a fizzy drink. Well, that would be, funnily enough, that would be one of my criticisms of it. It's not fizzy enough.
Starting point is 00:30:39 No, I'm using it in a... And the fizz just died there. I know. I mean, seconds away from my lips, it died. Yeah, but to be fair... I was going I know. I mean, seconds away from my lips, it died. Yeah, but to be fair... That's the problem with Eli's sex life, isn't it? She doesn't even need it.
Starting point is 00:30:54 I know, but I added it. You didn't need it. I added it. That joke before it was formed was so funny to me, but then it's... The Willy Wilt on the way to the lips,
Starting point is 00:31:01 doesn't it? Anyway, yeah, good soda. What a great fun we have as best top friends. Great soda. Yeah. Okay, go on. I'll grade it. I'll give it a flat B.
Starting point is 00:31:16 Nice B on the nose. Because, yeah, you're right. If it was more fizzy, up a bit. Yeah, it's nice. I like it. And a lot of cream soda is almost too vanilla-y, too... Too much of something. Yeah. But that one is subtle. As I say, I think it. And a lot of cream soda is almost too vanilla-y, too much of something. But that one, as I say, I think it's nice that...
Starting point is 00:31:28 I prefer it to cream soda, to a standard cream soda. Yes. But again, I like the fact that it begins with one flavour profile and then evolves into the one at the back end, and so it's kind of a nice evolution in the mouth. Yeah, it's bubblegum at front, cream soda at the back. All business in the middle. I tried the new
Starting point is 00:31:45 Dr Pepper flavour What's that? Strawberries and cream And Yeah We'll have to try that then Dirty, dirty I mean if you like Dr Pepper
Starting point is 00:31:54 You'll like it Dr Pepper So misunderstood What's the worst that can happen? You can actually get your whole Cock stuffed in a can And as you try to pull it out And it's slicing
Starting point is 00:32:04 That bad That's bad I don't know if that's the worst you try and pull it out but you can't because you're literally ripping your penis apart well no you're probably just tearing off the top layer of flesh around your shaft isn't it as it all pulls out like a cenobite coming out it's like it's like something from the hellraiser box flailed peanut. Right, next drink. Right, these are a twofer. So, again, this was, I think, God, if I remember this wrong, I'm really sorry, but Sasha, I think, gave us these.
Starting point is 00:32:32 In these, we have two Iron Brew drinks, and we've done Iron Brew before on the past in the show, haven't we? But what I wonder is, when did Iron Brew start doing different flavoured Iron Brews? Probably recently. I mean, as in, like, really recently, other than, like, special one-offs in the past.
Starting point is 00:32:46 This is one, I mean, first of all, I'll get this out of the way, extra taste, no sugar. I have a horrible feeling this is going to taste like shit. Well, you have a special aversion to sugar-free drinks. Brewed in Scotland to a secret recipe since 1901. And again, there was an iron brew drink, and this is the knockoff of that,
Starting point is 00:33:04 which went on to be more popular. And iron brew is a category of soft drink. Yeah. And again, there was an iron brew drink, and this is the knock-off of that, which went on to be more popular. And iron brew is a category of soft drink. Yeah. And iron brew. And they don't own that. People who make urn brew. Yeah. Which is why it's called urn brew. Oh, sorry. One other thing I needed to mention about Inca Cola. Owned worldwide by
Starting point is 00:33:20 Elon Musk. Coca-Cola. Oh, really? Except the Lindley family still have control of it within Peru. Right. Coca-Cola. Oh, really? Except the Lindley family still have control of it within Peru. Right. There you go. There we go. So we're back to Iron Brew. These are Iron Brew Extra.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Probably because of the flavour, we have Iron Brew Tropical and Iron Brew Ice Cream. Now, I think this might taste like what we've just had. The ice cream. It would be a cream soda, wouldn't it? So I think we should do this next while we've got the kind of memory of that flavour profile in our head. Sure. And then we'll move on to Iron Brew Tropical the kind of memory of that flavour profile in our head. Sure. And then we'll move on to Iron Brew Tropical
Starting point is 00:33:46 which I fear will be vile. Oh, 69p. That's cheap. Yeah. Is that a multi-pack? No, I mean, no, you can't sell multi-packs,
Starting point is 00:33:53 can you? It always has a big sticker on the side saying, as part of a multi-pack, do not sell. We still get them, don't we? Just fucking sell them.
Starting point is 00:34:00 So, what? So this is Iron Brew Extra. This is their thing. Their flavour range or whatever. What I find interesting is the fact that Iron Brew is an actual flavour of drink.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Yeah. And then they're adding on top of it. Yeah. It's like Coke mango flavour or whatever, you know? Oh, I hate all that. But that's just weird. It's like, oh,
Starting point is 00:34:17 sugar-free flavoured drinks are so awful we have to now mix them with lime and mango and cherry or whatever. It's just they can do it. No one asked them if they should, though.
Starting point is 00:34:24 You know? They didn't ask themselves. Yeah. And they whatever it's just they can do it no one asked them if they should though you know or they didn't ask themselves yeah and they didn't ask if they could do it they should shouldn't do it that's the quote from Jurassic Park isn't it oh oh you know what I picked up um chlamydia that's yes first edition um no where would I get chlamydia, Paul? I know. Yeah. Me. Go on, quick. Pull these ice melts. Oh, yes. I picked up a first edition of the paperback, Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton. Good.
Starting point is 00:34:58 Thank you for that in this soda segment of the show. You think that was an interesting fact to bring up. I bet there's been a Jurassic Park soda tie-in at some point. So, to the nose, this just smells of Iron Brew. And looks like it because he's pouring it now. To be clear, Paul, we're starting with the ice cream. Ice cream flavour. Iron Brew extra flavour. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:14 Now, again, to my nose and to my eye, it looks like Iron Brew. It smells like Iron Brew. In fact, there's a tiny bit of cream soda in there. I'm getting cream soda off the... Oh, coming off it. But there's that very recognisable Iron Brew tang. Oh, yeah. Oh, no. If I just had that, I'd just say that was Iron Brew.
Starting point is 00:35:32 Yeah. I would do a blind sniff test on it. I wouldn't know. But here's the taste test part. I prefer the Inca Cola considerably. Yeah. This has that... Oh, mate, it's got that horrible fucking sugar aspartame.
Starting point is 00:35:43 Does it? I'm not getting that. Yeah, I can get that. I must be heightened to it. Because I can taste it. It's like, the only way I can describe it, it's got a wide chemical taste on the tongue. It's this kind of broad, overwhelming chemical sweetness. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:56 That just pops above the flavour for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now I know what you mean. I'm getting that now. Yeah. Doesn't taste of ice cream very much. At all. Or cream soda.
Starting point is 00:36:02 It tastes like Diet Ironberry. Yeah. Yeah, disappointing, I agree. Very disappointing. Inca Cola. It's a better texture. It's more fizzy than the Inca Cola. So this is flat for me.
Starting point is 00:36:11 It's not fizzy. It's a flat drink. But if you want me to rate it accordingly, I'll give it a C-. No, I didn't like it. Not interesting either. No. Talking of sweetness, Paul, I tried a Leon chicken and bacon Old Smoky barbecue burger. I don't carey barbecue burger.
Starting point is 00:36:26 I don't care about your burger. I don't care about your recent book purchases either. This ties into soda. Does it? Yeah. And it was so fucking sweet, this burger. Yeah. Like the relish, whatever, the barbecue bit was so sweet that when I took a sip of my soda, that tasted sour.
Starting point is 00:36:42 The sweetness of the burger, do you know what I mean? And it was almost like that artificial sweetness in a burger, imagine that. Imagine that. Can you imagine that at home? Because I can't be fucking bothered to. Right, Eli. Come on. Being unfriendly. I'll be unfriendly if I want to be unfriendly.
Starting point is 00:36:58 You want to be. Every week you want to be unfriendly. You bitnickety shit weasel. There's nothing ever happened to you. You think, oh, I ate something. Hello, I am bitnickety shit weasel. You can nothing ever happened to you. You think, oh, I ate something. I am pinnickety shit weasel. You can't invent your own characters. That's not organic. Now. Do you know what is organic? What? Me. You are organic. Yeah. I'm an organic
Starting point is 00:37:14 man. I'm an organic, organic man. What's the word? Organic. Organic. What's the word? I've forgotten it. Organic. I'm an organic, organic, it's true. Oh, I'm doing that other one. The guy who did the flash dance song.
Starting point is 00:37:30 He did that one, Automatic Man. I'm an automatic man. De, ni, mo, ni, mi, ni, ni, mo. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. I'm an automatic man. Moving on to the second of the Iron Brew extras. Iron Brew extra tropical flavour 69p in a tin. This will taste shit, I reckon.
Starting point is 00:37:53 Well, we don't know. Worst of all, if I was giving that first one, the ice cream, a mark out of five, I'd go for a two. Well, already. Maybe a 1.5. Yeah, I'm giving it a C- that one. See? Inconsistent scoring. Take what you will from that.
Starting point is 00:38:09 This is tropical. To the nose, there is a marked tropical flavour, but it smells like tropical in those. Well, at least it doesn't taste just of iron. No, no, no. But it's got that tropical flavour like the fruit salad sweet. In fact, it's exactly the fruit salad sweet when I think about it now. So I'm going to pour it.
Starting point is 00:38:25 Again, orange. Same Iron Brew orange. They've gone for that. Initial fizz, sharp, but it all dies off pretty quickly. Similar to the way that Coke always goes with the Coke colour when they're doing those mango or orange ones. Yeah, true. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:36 I'm going to have a go with this. But yeah, to the nose, Iron Brew and a little bit of sour, like, yeah, salad cream chewy. Didn't Iron Brew sell out to one of the big ones? Because that's why it had to change the formula to the... I don't know. This is obviously part of the whole... Yeah. Sugar tax bullshit thing.
Starting point is 00:38:51 Oh, yes. There's a fake pineapple odour. Definitely on the sniffy schnaff schnaff. Pineapple and peachy almost. Or the jiff jaff joff. Right. Huh. That's almost nothing.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Very little flavour at all. Weird all weirdly little flavor it's not even like it's empty it's not as though like the iron brew flavor is still there because that's not there it's gone it's nothing on the front there's nothing on the back there's one moment of sweetness in between i don't know why you found that funny you're off on your own little fucking podcast again aren't you i just thought it was good. Nothing in the front, nothing in the back. A little bit of sweetness in between. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:28 No, it's good. It sounds like a lyric by George Harrison. It's good. But don't you think that's descriptive of that? I actually didn't like that. I don't like it less. No, I don't like it more. I more like it don't.
Starting point is 00:39:39 I don't. Hello. Welcome to Paul's Mouth Madness Hour. I don't like it. And I don't like it more than I don't like the ice cream. I think the ice cream is slightly better because that has a flavour flavour. Oh, for fuck's sake. Favour flavour?
Starting point is 00:39:52 Do my mouth a flavour flavour? Hey, that's a great fucking slogan. What is it? Do my mouth a favour flavour? Flavour flavour? Do my mouth a flavour flavour? Yeah, that is a good one. Better than get your mouth ready, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:40:05 Yeah, get your mouth ready. That's what Bim should change it to. Oh, dear. Do your mouth a flavour favour. Do your mouth a flavour favour. And avoid these fucking... Here, darling. I'm going to...
Starting point is 00:40:16 Come on, darling. Yes, love. Yes, love. Do your mouth a flavour flavour. And what? Gob you off again? Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:40:23 Oh, it's come you off again. Yeah. All right. Oh, it's come out my nose. Right. I'm dead inside, love. No, you know you are. Dead inside. No, I'm... I didn't even feel that fucking orgasm. It just came right out of me
Starting point is 00:40:36 like dropping a mouse down a pipe. Paul, we need to move on. I'm going to give that a D plus. It is a flat drink for me. There's a slight pineapple flavour. Well, your favourite? Easily the Inca Cola. The Inca Cola is a drink.
Starting point is 00:40:55 Yeah. These are not nice. No, they're fake tasting, and the charm of the Iron Brew is lost in the weak sauce. That is the extra flavour on top. If you like Iron Brew, go for the cream one because it works much better and it tastes much more like normal Iron Brew. Yeah, it's a better substitute.
Starting point is 00:41:13 Just to wash my palate. Yeah, I'm just going to wash my palate. That was all. Because I've still got that fake sugar taste on my tongue. We're going back for more of this Inca Cola. And I've got that Mole or Mole Italian Cola. This is Mole Cola. God, that's a bomb when you swig've got that mole or mole. Italian cola.

Starting point is 00:43:35 Don't lose focus. It's Gannis Golden Games, and what's the game we're going to play today? Is that simple? Today, we are going to play a game given to me at Digitizer Live from a gentleman I have forgotten the name of and forgot to write down, so I apologise to you, sir. Tick off the bingo card with Paul forgetting someone's name has given us some shit. Tick it right off. Stamp it. Stamp it. You don't tick a bingo card. What am I saying? You stamp it. And tick your bingo card when Eli does some fucking mouth dog shit
Starting point is 00:44:05 don't tick your bingo card at least we've ascertained that's not what you do you stamp it don't you I'll stamp you shut up we are playing this week the board game by Denny Fisher Miss World the Miss World board game
Starting point is 00:44:22 so this is a game by Denny Fisher Denny Fisher we've used in the past Miss World, the Miss World board game. So this is a game by Denny Fisher. Denny Fisher we've used in the past on this podcast. Even recently, that one down there, the swap shop game. Dare I say, we've been on a little... Dare I say, Paul, we've been on a bit of a Denny Fisher... Groove. Run with this segment of the show recently. Was that Dad's Army one,
Starting point is 00:44:45 Denny Fisher? That was. Yeah. Oh. It's right up your street. I think they're the most up your street games company of the era.
Starting point is 00:44:51 Yeah, but it's not a perfect hit rate. I've seen some of their other tie-in license board games and they're largely gash. Yeah, but in terms of your collecting eye, you know,
Starting point is 00:44:59 because you're not looking for games to play, essentially. Well, some are, but some I would like to just have for ownership of them. Okay, let me put it this way. You as a games collector, a collector of board games,
Starting point is 00:45:10 you don't only look for games that you'll enjoy playing, necessarily. I am the game collector. You are the game collector with your... I wasn't meant to be. It started out just doing a podcast, and I'd go to a charity shop for a game, and then I kept it, and then I saw another one, and I kept it, and and so on and so forth and now I've got over 200 board games in a lockup that's not healthy is it that's not financially viable what I'm trying to tell say the point I'm trying to make Paul is that you like these Denny Fishers because they have they intersect with the
Starting point is 00:45:39 nostalgia of your childhood they do indeed but then to be honest Miss Will wasn't really part of my childhood but I do like the games like, to be honest, Miss World wasn't really part of my childhood, but I do like the games. I still want the Are You Being Served board game and stuff. You know, I want that. You want what board game? Are You Being Served.
Starting point is 00:45:51 Is that Denny Fisher? I mean, I presume so. It must be, yeah. That's what they did. That's what they did. It's what they did. You say Miss World wasn't really part
Starting point is 00:45:58 of your childhood. Do you not have any recollection of it coming on and it being a bit uncomfortable and watching a bit of it? I know it existed. I definitely watched it.. I definitely watched it. But I never watched it.
Starting point is 00:46:05 I knew there was like Miss Anglia and then they would, you know, all those kind of shows or Miss Granada. Miss Anglia. Yeah, or Miss Granada. And then they would win
Starting point is 00:46:12 and then they would represent, wouldn't they? So you remember watching TV shows of the trials, whatever, the local trials. It's a beauty contest. Should we go into the history of it?
Starting point is 00:46:21 Oh, it's so horrible. I'd like to see what the history is, Paul. Well, let's go back into Paul's time machine. Oh, do we? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun contest as part of the festival of britain celebrations that would oh it comes from here no apparently that he called the festival bikini contest this is all from wikipedia so like every other podcast in the world that's where we're sourcing our info but it comes with the cheeky
Starting point is 00:46:52 show style the event was popular with the press and dubbed it miss world the swimsuit competition was intended as a promotion for the bikini which had only just been released in the UK what the press dubbed it Miss World yes weird I don't know why in 1950 in 1951 the winner of that was a
Starting point is 00:47:10 Kirsten Kiki Hackinson from Sweden who was crowned in a bikini and it added to the controversy so I'm guessing the idea that they put a crown on a lady just in a bikini
Starting point is 00:47:20 was outrageous in 1951 it was extremely racy at the time yeah yeah so the pageant was originally planned for a pageant to the Festival of Britain, but Morley decided to take the Miss World Pageant Annual.
Starting point is 00:47:28 He registered it as a trademark, and all future pageants were under that name. But because of the controversy arising from the crowning in a bikini, countries with religious traditions threatened not to send delegates in future events. And the bikini was condemned by the Pope. Hey, what the matter this?
Starting point is 00:47:45 Hey, what the matter? Your Holiness. What's this I see? Your Holiness, what is your definitive answer on the bikini, yes or no? It's a nasty thing. What's wrong with it? I do not like it to my eye. It's a bad thing for God.
Starting point is 00:48:02 God don't like it, neither do I. I so say the Pope. What are you having for dinner? I'm having eggy beggy. Oh, come on. Say it. What? Spice it with me to both.
Starting point is 00:48:15 No. I don't like it, take it away from me. I don't like it. Hide the bikini. God don't like it. I don't like it. Your Holiness, can you see where the pubes are curling out around the sides? Oh, Pope like a little bit.
Starting point is 00:48:27 It's not just the puby bit. Like, the Pope like the puby bit. Hi. Hello. I don't know what accent that is. Paul, rein it in, mate. Anyway, blah, blah, blah, it grew. It grew and grew.
Starting point is 00:48:43 The concert. Yeah, it became more popular in 1959 the BBC began to broadcast the pageant and its popularity grew with the
Starting point is 00:48:50 advent of TV in the 60s and 70s it was one of the most watched programs of the year on British television and it's a monster in terms of feminism
Starting point is 00:48:58 isn't it it's sort of one of the most cited sexist a symbol of sexism it's become yeah of course that's why Carry On Girls was all sexism it's become. Yeah, of course. That's why Carry On Girls was all about that.
Starting point is 00:49:07 It was kind of leaning on the popularity of Miss World, made a film based on that. And is it still going? I think so. I mean... I think so. I'll find out. In the 1970s,
Starting point is 00:49:14 the contest in London was disrupted by women's liberation protesters armed with flower bombs, stink bombs, water pistols, loaded with ink. In 1970, it was also controversial
Starting point is 00:49:24 when South Africa sent two contestants one black and white henceforth south africa was banned from the contest until apartheid was abolished more than 18 million people used to watch it in its pk day uh then it became repurposed in the 80s with beauty with a purpose and added tests of intelligence and personality so before that it was just there she's wearing that this that. It's this round. That's the next round. That's a nice one, isn't it? She's got a nice arse. Look at the tits on that.
Starting point is 00:49:48 Oh, best tits. You win. Here's a crown. But now it's like, got a nice tits, nice arse. What do you think about apartheid, love? It's bad. It's bad.
Starting point is 00:49:57 Oh, dear. In 84, controller Michael Gray, boo, announced that the corporation would cease broadcasting the pageant. 94? Yeah, 84.
Starting point is 00:50:06 He said, I believe these contests no longer merit national airtime. They certainly do. You've got to agree with him on that, don't you? They were anachronism in this day and age of equality and is verging on the offensive. Temp Television broadcast it between 80 and 88, and then ITV dropped it. In the 90s, it moved on to Sky 1 and then moved to Channel 5.
Starting point is 00:50:24 Eric Morley died in 2000. His wife succeeded him and carries on with the organization. And I think it's still going. Although they have different types of it in Indonesia, China, Thailand, Puerto Rico. It's like an international sort of brand, yeah. Recent title holders.
Starting point is 00:50:38 So yeah, 2021 was the last one. There was no one in 2020, but Poland won it in 2021. Jamaica, Mexico, India, in that reverse order. It's disgusting, isn't it? And weird. It's a product of its time.
Starting point is 00:50:53 Definitely. A disgusting product of its time. That I'm still surprised is still going, but I presume part of it now, the ladies represent cultural understanding and it's about,
Starting point is 00:51:03 there's probably charities that benefit from Miss World that raise money for things. I'm sure there's probably charities that benefit from this world that raise money for things i'm sure there's an element of that that keeps it still going because i can't see it just still being relevant outside of other things that it's involved in yeah i mean good point probably right there has to has to sort of uh dress itself in it's more charitable rather than just a strict sort of beauty contest yeah there's got to be more to it hence the questions on intelligence and stuff like that. So this came out 1972.
Starting point is 00:51:29 So reasonably popular then. But not in its heyday, which they said was the 80s. Well, no, it was the peak was the 80s. But I'm presuming it was popular all the way through the 70s as well. Otherwise, why would you make a board game for kids to teach girls? Is it for kids? Yeah, of course it's for girls. Oh, look, and on the cover, it's mum with her daughters, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:51:45 Yeah. So this board game lets kids live out the fantasy of being Miss World. All the glamour, tension, excitement of the Miss Real World competition. Not Miss Real World. The real Miss World contest. Dress the four contestants and travel the world. Maybe you will be the coveted winner in the robe and Miss World crown. Now, you've sort of given away the sort sort of best thing about this in my mind yeah this
Starting point is 00:52:06 set is that the toy aspect is they've actually gone for little plastic dolls yeah as identical but yeah you get four dollies with it and there you're moving pieces and they come with a little i mean the green you're green and i'm blue and green's got a dirty smudge on it i don't know why that is they've given a little nod to racial diversity by having one black doll, haven't they? Yes, they have. But all the others are pretty identical. They're slightly different hair colour, white dolls. Yeah, it's mostly just they're wearing a green one-piece bathing suit
Starting point is 00:52:34 and a cloak thing. Well, now, these two that we've selected are quite similar looking, apart from different colour hair, but there is a blonde with longer hair. Oh, there's a blonde one, yeah. And she has a sticker on it that says, Made in Hong Kong. So, they're dinky little toys, aren't they?
Starting point is 00:52:46 Yeah, and they're your moving pieces. You move around the board. And the idea is, effectively, we've looked at the rules. It's very simple. You move around the board, and on the roll of a dice, you either earn money or you do activities which earn you more money. Do money or earn activities. And then once you've earned enough money,
Starting point is 00:53:01 then you can go ahead and enter Miss World. At any time you want in the game. You can enter Miss World. You go, you take money, and then you pay to enter Miss World. No, it's very good, that. No, it's good, that. Yeah, it's very good, that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:13 You pay to enter Miss World, Paul. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, the idea is you go around the board earning money, doing different things depending on the roll of the dice. Right? Simple. But at any point, you can pay 500 of your pounds that you earn to enter Miss World.
Starting point is 00:53:25 Then once you get onto the stage area, there's a little raised dais part of the board, which is made to look like a Miss World stage. You head towards the gold circle.
Starting point is 00:53:35 But every step of the way, there's a problem which could chip away at your resources. And the idea is you've got to roll exactly to land on the square. First one who does it wins.
Starting point is 00:53:43 Cameron Daiz. Cameron Daiz, yeah. Nice. Are we ready to play? You've given me £1,000. These pounds are Denny Fisher dollars, aren't they? Denny dollars. So they'd be modular in that they could be used...
Starting point is 00:53:54 Mate, I want some Denny's. How much is some Denny's going for? I've got a chunk of Denny's for you. How many Denny's? What's the price of the Denny's? I've got a chunk of Denny's for you. Yeah, but what's the price of the Denny's? It's a chunk of Denny's, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:54:03 Do you want a chunk? No, but how much for how much? I'll give you a chunk of Denny's, isn't it? Do you want a chunk? No, but how much for how much? I'll give you a chunk of denny's. How many pounds? All right, I'll give you a fissure then. How much is the fissure? You've caught me out here, mate. You don't know the concept of currency.
Starting point is 00:54:13 I don't know. Well done. I've got some money. Yes. And there's 550 points, 110 points, 50 pounds, five points. I'm going to be the banker. Because you earn money, and then that gets whittled away once you're on the stage.
Starting point is 00:54:29 The idea is you've got to earn as much money as you can. That translates to points. So when you're on the stage and those mishaps happen or whatever, then you're not losing too much. Because if you don't have enough money to get to the end, you've run out of points, you've got to go back around again on the board. Okay.
Starting point is 00:54:41 Right, let's just roll with it. Ladies and gentlemen, Eli Paul. Play Miss World, the game. Hello, good evening, and welcome to Miss World 1972. I'm your host for this evening, Paul Gannon, and with me is my good friend Eli Silverman. Hardy har. And we're going to be judging this competition now,
Starting point is 00:55:19 and following these ladies as they travel the world on this board game, there are Paris, Geneva, Monte Carlo, Cape Town, Rome, Safari, Sydney. Safari's not a place. It's Africa, isn't it? It's a cruel thing people do with more money than sense. Yes, the racism coming off the very board here. Mate, we might not land on it, so I'll mention it now. There's a square on this board which says, spend the thousand pound on diamonds in South Africa.
Starting point is 00:55:39 And I was like, ooh, that's awkward, isn't it? Ooh, that's awkward. It's all a bit musky, that one. But it's very much trying to sell the jet set as a fantasy. That's the idea. You're earning money by living the jet set life and doing photo shoots and apparently buying gold in Mexico. Buy gold in Mexico, go to Vegas.
Starting point is 00:55:59 What are you doing in Vegas? Best not gambling. Nightclub appearance, earn $600. So you see that's how it goes. I'd like to do that. Can I go and do that? Make a TV commercial in New York. That's good, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:56:10 That's pretty cool as well. That's pretty good. Anyway, shall we start the game, my good friend? Hardy Hart. Actually, I'm green, so I'm going to pick... I'm blue. Her name, she is Miss... Ireland.
Starting point is 00:56:23 No, she's... The Emerald Ireland. She's Miss Wirral. At eight, I'm Miss Wirral. No, she's... The Emerald Ireland. She's Miss Wirral. At eight I'm Miss Wirral. I'm the winner of the regional finals. We're going to have to do voices for them. Yeah? They didn't tell me about this.
Starting point is 00:56:32 Do it. You don't have to. You don't do it. Just disappoint your audience, mate. Do what you like. No, I'm going to have to, aren't I? I'm going to rise to the challenge. Do what you like, mate.
Starting point is 00:56:38 Disappoint your audience. Oh, he's putting the shades on. So what's Miss Wirral? Where are you representing? Miss that island. Miss Ireland. No are you representing? Miss that island. Miss Island. No, that island. Miss that island.
Starting point is 00:56:50 That island's what's off there. So, okay, Miss that island, what's off there? I'm Miss that island. Don't insult my peoples. Right, who's going to go first? You can go first
Starting point is 00:57:00 because you're a fucking idiot. Oh, I'm ready to go. 15 minutes of play starts now. Remember, you can enter the Miss World stage any time you want, alright? But I might win for the past five minutes. No, no, you might not win. You might run out of points before you can get to the gold part of the stage. But I don't die if I run out of points.
Starting point is 00:57:13 No, you've just got to go back to the... I'm going straight up there. Good luck. We have to go round. You've got to go round the board at least once. I've got to go round to get there, yeah? Yeah. But then once you've been round it once, you can go to the stage any time you want. You can come round there any time you want. Come round the board. We have to get going. Time starts now. Roll the dice, Eli.
Starting point is 00:57:34 I've got a grand. You've got a grand. Let's get going. It's Miss World 1972. Roll the dice then. Go on. I roll the dice, do I? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:43 I'm going first, am I? Yeah. Where am I? On the start square. Who am I? You on the square you're the blue one i'm green okay you've rolled the wrong dice that's not the right dice is it there it is give it to me you didn't give me the dice you just took the wrong one i took it up the wrong one you took up the wrong role i took it up the wrong one come on. Four. I'll move your pieces. Could you move my piece? I am...
Starting point is 00:58:06 Miss that island out there. One, two, three, four. What have I landed on? $100. You take $100 from the bank. You're the bank. The bank's here with me, everyone. It's secure.
Starting point is 00:58:17 I won't be cheating. I'm going to roll the dice as he takes the cash out. Denny Fisher dollar. $100 bill. I've rolled a three. One, two, three. Oh, give me dollar. I've rolled a three. One, two, three. Oh, give me 50. I've rolled a three.
Starting point is 00:58:29 A three. B. Thank you very much, sir. The problem with this is the pieces, the dolls aren't very stable. They are. They've repurposed or got dolls from a different factory. It's coke. No, they're all the same dolly.
Starting point is 00:58:42 It's just they're all wobbly because they have to have a little plastic stand to stand on. What I mean is those were dolls that they said we need to we'll get these dolls a job lot yeah
Starting point is 00:58:50 we'll have a load of those shitty dolls that you can't send to make into the pieces which is fine it wasn't a design concept no because it would work better these are just dolls
Starting point is 00:58:58 I think this is there's a charm to that yeah there's a charm to that definitely well because it's the play element isn't it because the girls are playing involved
Starting point is 00:59:04 it's like I know it's a charming thing they wouldn definitely. Well, because it's the play element, isn't it? Because the girls are playing involved. It's like... I know. It's a charming thing. They wouldn't... They design these better. But the point being is that this is a valuable game. Yeah. 50.
Starting point is 00:59:13 Give me 50. You've given me it. You've given me it already. So you roll the dice now. It's your go again. Give me it then. I can't lean over. I think we're going to learn some valuable lessons
Starting point is 00:59:22 and girls can benefit from this game completely. Three. Move the blue cape to lady. Three, what's happened? Something bad's happened. It says a screen test has been offered to you. Rush to row. I did a self-tape this morning, Paul.
Starting point is 00:59:37 Oh, shit. I'll never get a job. I don't care about your life. You don't care about my life? No, not really. Not as far as... I need to consider what you do within the confines of this podcast. What has happened to my piece?
Starting point is 00:59:48 You're in Rome and you've earned £400. What's she doing in Rome? £400 you've got to give yourself for doing a screen test in Rome. Hello. Hello. Can you say this line for me? We're going to cast you in an advert for Celine Dion perfume. I'm sorry, I'm here for the casting.
Starting point is 01:00:05 Yes. I'm here for the casting now. Yes, please. Yes, just what do you want me to do? I just want you to say this line for Celine Dion perfume, right? Celine Dion, but this is 1972.

Starting point is 01:00:31 That works for me. It's Cher perfume. Oh. Why are you getting Cher to do it then? Well, because she is in it, but we need other women to be around and say certain lines. So we want you to say. No, I'm happy to. You're going to turn to camera holding the perfume.
Starting point is 01:00:43 Okay. And you're going to go, Cher, I'll keep it to myself. All right.'m happy to. You're going to turn to camera, holding the perfume, and you're going to go, share, I'll keep it to myself. All right. Right? Okay, and action. Share, I'll keep it to myself.

Starting point is 01:01:42 Don't give yourself money from your own pocket. That's the bank stack there. Yeah, well, yeah. I'm going to fucking do you. There's ten minutes and we've hardly moved. I've only got two. You're taking it from your own cash. Take it from the pile. You've earned 400.
Starting point is 01:01:57 The bank gives you it. You're not giving yourself it from your own cash you've just earned, you fucking idiot. Stop counting your own money. Then put 100 back. Fuck earned, you fucking idiot. Stop counting your own money. Then put 100 back. Fuck me, that was painful. It's like watching Clyde from every which way but loose do it. He doth

Starting point is 01:03:07 That's in South Africa, right? It is? Yes. Yes, absolutely, yeah. Give yourself a grand. Who's paying me this? The bank. You've earned it.
Starting point is 01:03:15 That's the point. It's like you're earning this to pay. Because you've got to pay 500 to get on the board, haven't you? And then you're going to lose points as you go through. I sold some diamonds, but how would buying... It says buy diamonds, but you've earned, I don't know, a million. Maybe it's like an advert deal. You know, you buy them and then go, we'll give you a grand to wear them.
Starting point is 01:03:32 It seems dodgy as fuck. It is dodgy as fuck. That's what it's teaching girls, isn't it? Why would I make 500 from buying diamonds? Because I'm the middle lady in this diamond transaction. Yeah, well, you've obviously, you know, you've had to swallow a few condoms full of diamonds to get through. Possibly, this is what I'm thinking. Because you're travelling the world, aren't you?

Starting point is 01:07:59 Da da da da da. Oh, you know me from the TV. Oh, you know me from the news. Oh, you know me from the news. I'm everybody's dream girl. And I come from Liverpool. And I know that I am going there today on the back of a spoon. A magic spoon. I like my magic spoon.

Starting point is 01:08:41 I'm sorry. As the booker of this night, we were expecting you to do that act with the... Oh, yeah. Yay! Whoa! Oh, it's the after waft. Oh, that's what you come for. That's what you pay for.
Starting point is 01:08:59 Come on, Eli. Give me 500. Clunge mist. Come on. A cloud of clunge mist. Now this is livening up for me. This is not how we should go. Come on.
Starting point is 01:09:11 How much? 500. Just give me 500. Five, four, five, five hundreds. I'll just give you one 500. Fine. I didn't know there was that option. Right.
Starting point is 01:09:21 Your roll. I'm going to tell you what, though. Just to tell you, I'm going to go onto the stage next. I'm going to risk it. How can what though, just to tell you, I'm going to go onto the stage next, I'm going to risk it. How can you? Any time? Any time. Oh, this is bullshit, I thought you had to go around it once. Well, we're running out of time, so let's just get onto the stage. Okay, so that wasn't an actual rule.
Starting point is 01:09:34 You're making up rules. No, I didn't say that, I was going to. Everyone saw that, what just happened there, and that's what I mean about the difficulty of working with this guy sometimes. When a player decides to enter the contest, you have to go on and pay 500. You can do it on everyone. So you'll go.
Starting point is 01:09:49 I roll the dice. Quick. I'm doing the number dice. Yeah. Yeah. Don't tell me you're going on because then I could go on before you. I'm doing it now.
Starting point is 01:09:58 You pay 500, but you don't move. You just go on to the stage. I've got more money than you anyway. I'm going to win this. She's on, Miss Will. So put that back in the bank that's fine i have right in that case i'm also going to move use my move to go onto the stage and pay 500 as well so there's my fight give me that 500 then please good i'm on the stage now
Starting point is 01:10:15 now we roll the other dice with the with the blank space and the crown here's the deal you've all the numbers you roll you move the numbers but if you land on a blank space, you stay where you are. If you land on the crown, you move one space, but whatever's on that space does not affect you. All right. So now it's about will our money last the game. So your go, you get to go first because you rolled first. But no, we can come off the stage.
Starting point is 01:10:40 At any time, if you think you can't get to the end because you run out of money, because you can't get to the thing with nothing. Come off the Cameron Diaz. Yeah. You've rolled it. Three. I i'm gonna lose some money now you stumble on the stage and lose 50 points so that's this is a bit cruel isn't it and also seems to be it's a weird message right they say that once you get there you're gonna up every step of the way and it's the end of this scrutiny and you shouldn't and you if you up it's a big deal you know and it's
Starting point is 01:11:03 anyway and it's for little girls. And it's sort of like... Give it 50 quid. As a metaphor for their whole life or career. Yeah. It's fucking weird, isn't it? Anyway, you've lost. You have to be pretty and you do a show and then you're going to make a faux pas, you know?
Starting point is 01:11:16 And everyone will remember it. But now you have to pay 50 points back to the bank. Just the whole thing. Weird. What do I have to pay? 50 points. So either 5 tens... Whatever, I've got loads mate
Starting point is 01:11:26 all right good 50s there it's down it's in i'm on the stage now here she comes miss we're all here we go i'm dead excited four i'm over confident and lose 100 points oh yes don't want to be over confident do you how many? How many is 500? 100 points. 100 is a green back. Two 500s. A thousand? No. Because I'm losing points, isn't it?
Starting point is 01:11:51 So it's 100 points. Oh, 50 points, did you say? Yeah. Oh, I've been doing it wrong. Yeah, I know. You've been putting cash in. So you only needed to put one. All you've got to do is take one 500 back, and you're fine.
Starting point is 01:12:00 No, no, it's fine. I put a 500 in. So this is mine. This is 100. Can you just keep it in dollars for me and just convert it to dollars? It's points now, isn't it? So just think about the points. It's in the corner of the note. Right. Right. Right. Let's see who
Starting point is 01:12:11 gets there first. You'll go. Roll the dice. We're on the last leg. I've got a blank. That means you don't do nothing. Oh, good. It means you don't lose any money. Two. Sixty. Poor smile for the judges. Lose sixty. This is extremely sort of bad. It's worrying in the last stretch, isn't it? Overconfident. I for the judges. Lose 60. This is extremely sort of bad. It's worrying in the last stretch, isn't it?
Starting point is 01:12:27 Overconfident. I tell the judges to go fuck themselves. 20, 30, 40, 50, 60. You're fucking... I hate this. There you go. Oh, I'm running out of points. I don't know if I'll make it to the stage. Yes, you're not going to make it. Your go, Eli. Fuck, quick. Oh!
Starting point is 01:12:42 So that means you go one space, but it doesn't affect you. Oh, hello. You could have lost 100 then, but you didn't. I didn't. My go. Where's the dice go? Because I'm sashaying perfectly. B.
Starting point is 01:12:54 I walk too slowly, lose 25 points. Oh, shit. Turn 25. Oh, no. What's going to happen? You're going to lose. You should ask me a question as well. It's like, oh, what's your favorite thing? Oh, no. What's going to happen? You're going to lose. You should ask me a question as well. It's like, oh, what's your favourite thing?
Starting point is 01:13:08 Oh, hello. Hello, dear. Yeah, I'm on the stage. Hello. So tell us, what was your latest book you read? It's the A to Z, so I can figure out how to get here. I also am deeply into Scientology. Kit, are you moved again? Can you stand me up, please? I'm lying down into Scientology. Kit, are you moved again?
Starting point is 01:13:26 Can you stand me up, please? I'm lying down on the stage. Well, I've had a bit of a stiffener before the show. Which ironically has made me floppy. He's drunk. Drunk on stage. I'm going to roll my dice. Maybe I can get a six or something.
Starting point is 01:13:40 One. Give me 40. You out of here. Wait, I might not be. You broke. Get off my stage, broke. I'm broke. I can't finish You're out of here. Wait, I might not be. You're broke. Get off my stage, broke. I'm broke? I can't finish the game.

Starting point is 01:15:36 And that is this week's Ganon's Golden Games, apparently. That was shit. Well, I enjoyed that game. A boring and faintly offensive game. That we made more offensive in the playing of it. I do like the toyetic attempt. And I do like the set-up. The little curtains and the set-up.
Starting point is 01:15:59 It's got that kind of like, you build it like you did with the Generation Game game. You know, where you have to build a little set. They do have nicely designed boards, the Denny Fisher games. And they start with board games. The Swap Swap one was pretty nice as well. I mean, not much play to it, but lovely thing. Lovely thing. And Dad's Army as well.
Starting point is 01:16:13 I would say, to be fair, as a game, it's far more engaging than fucking Bread was for a start. Well, that was Denny Fisher as well, wasn't it? Maybe, I can't remember. Maybe, you're right. That's what I mean, we're on a real Denny Fisher groove, baby. But that game was fucking dull to play.
Starting point is 01:16:26 Oh, that was terrible. And the Dad Zombie one had a little bit of strategy, but this is fine. There's more play to it. There's more movement. There's more action. I don't like the way
Starting point is 01:16:34 it's all based just on money. Yeah, well, that's the thing, isn't it? I don't like the gameplay. You've got to work it. If you want a Lamborghini, work it, bitch. If you want a Lamborghini,

Starting point is 01:17:13 Which, by the way, does mean up the bum. It does mean up yours. Up yours means up the bum. Can you just accept that? No. I will not accept it. On principle. You're a dick.
Starting point is 01:17:21 My principle. It's just one of these things you're doing to push my button. You've got to work it, bitch. The finger, the bird, whatever you want to call it, is up the arsehole. That's what it means. I'll put my finger up your arsehole. You want to wear Ralph Lauren? You want a chicken and a hen?
Starting point is 01:17:33 You've got to work it, bitch. I want you to shut up, bitch. You've got to work it, bitch. You want a chicken and an egg? Oh, by the way, that film, which had the Diana Ross, Georgiou Moroder. We've all forgotten about that. It doesn't matter, does it? It wasn't called Thank God It's Friday.
Starting point is 01:17:44 It was called Thank God It's Saturday. Well, I'm glad we got that right. It's a Banker Neil Bogart flop. Well, I can imagine the comment section raging at that. Eli gets the name wrong. What a horrible man he is.
Starting point is 01:17:54 I just want to service the truth. It makes us all physically sick. I just want to service the truth, Paul. Yeah, I'll service the truth. Where it's capable. Where I make a mistake factually,
Starting point is 01:18:02 I want to service the truth. Unlike you. What a mistake to make. Pure garbage comes out. And it's just like, oh, garbage. All garbage under the bridge. It's all fucking, all sewage just comes out. That's how it happens to you.

Starting point is 01:18:44 are all you need to know. To be fair. We had a bit of fun. That was quite fun. We had a bit of fun. Miss Will gets a minor pass. I wouldn't recommend it as a game to play. It's more of a collector's piece. It is a collector's piece. It's a relic of its time as they say. You could use it to teach people about how sexist the whole
Starting point is 01:18:59 world used to be. God. Yeah. Well definitely Britain. Or at least give a context of like where you could get bad diamonds from in Cape Town. Without knowing, you would have guessed that Miss World
Starting point is 01:19:09 was an American thing. Yeah. Wouldn't you? Because it's got that glam and glitz. A British bikini. It's basically an expensive knobbly knees competition.
Starting point is 01:19:17 C-size knobbly knees, yeah. That's exactly what I was thinking. It's highly high knobbly knees but with, you know, bikinis.
