CheapShow - Ep 370: A Good Old Rummage
Episode Date: February 9, 2024Paul is SO close to finishing his (long in gestation) book this week, so wants to keep this week’s show simple. As a result, he is pulling out his big box of tat and inviting Eli to dive in and pull... out anything of value, of interest or of pure disgust. It’s another real time episode with 60 minutes on the clock to wade through years’ worth of lost and forgotten cheap trinkets. There are odd albums to quickly listen to, pretty far out of date snacks and candies to munch on, a cassette of cartoon tunes to remember, some army rations to mull over and a whole range of weird odds and ends! Chances are, if you sent something to CheapShow over the years, it’s finally time to see if Paul kept hold of it long enough for this episode. Hold on tight, this one is a mad rush to the finish line!

It's all about the number of files for you, isn't it?
It's all about the number of files for me.
Sometimes I go one, two, three.
I'm clicking, I'm clicking.
Sometimes I count to five.
Five files.
One file, it's got all my financial details in.
Two, my medical file with all my grumbles and tumbles.
Number three, my love file where I mention all the ladies I have been with intimately
and put my fingers in their cunny hole.
Number four is my file on food.
The food I can eat, the food I can't eat,
the food I want to eat and haven't gotten round to yet.
Leading on to, if you don't mind me saying so, Mr Silverman,
on to my fifth file.
My fifth file is all my emotional moments of turbulence.
All my sad moments, I jot them down.
And my happy mood.
And my happy mood, Mr Silverman.
I've got five files, Mr. Silverman.
Five files.
Is that a better cold open for you, Mr. Silverman?
It's weird.
It's really weird.
I've got five files, Mr. Silverman.
You've got it.
You've dredged it from some other media, obviously.
Have I?
This is my new thing with you.
Is it?

They're saying something.
Just tell them I've...
Hang on.
Those samples are in the mail.
They've said...
Sorry, I'll speak to him now.
I've sent the samples yesterday.
They say they're not happy with the way you've been doing the line reading,
and that's why you're not getting sent stuff.
And they want me to cautiously ask you to step aside
and bring someone else in who will fall in line
with the Graxton Industries line of thinking and identity.
They said all that just now to you?
Yeah, in my ears.
They said all of that just to you?
Ring, ring, and my phone in my ear.
Fine.
So I don't want that, though.
Then they don't need those samples back, the ones I've got already.
Let me ask them.

Another
funny gag by Gannon. Paul, stop.

me do anything. I don't want you to do anything.
As soon as I put something on the table, you're making
the cardinal sin

Where do you see yourself in five years time?
Ah, jail.
Okay, good.
Yeah.
And what would you say are your main flaws or weaknesses?
I like to come on the back of a sexy lady.

Cardinal. I'm sorry, any
Italian listeners. Cardinal. I'm sorry, any Italian listeners.
Cardinal.
Hello.
Hello.
Now, we can't let you know.
You left your details on the pad out there.
And I left my dick a mess on the pad too.
Why would the Cardinal use the phrase dick mess that you just came up with, Paul?
Because he was badly conceived. Now, Cardinal use the phrase dick mess that you just came up with, Paul? Because he was badly conceived.
Now, Cardinal.
Yeah.
I shall go now to have a more evil scene.
Are you interested in the role of new character in Cheap Show?
You don't seem to be.
I'd be very interested.
I'm looking to expand my portfolio.
So we have your details.
Uh-huh.
We will get in touch.
You're the first we've seen. Oh. We've got a lot of... You're the first we've seen.
Oh, ah.
We've got a lot of people to see.
Oh, I look forward to being the cup of the tea show.
A lot of characters, okay?
Woo-hoo!
So thank you very much.
It's-a me, Cardinal Sin.
Wah-hoo!
Boing, boing.
He jumps out the window.
Paul, shut the door.
I've shut it now.
Oh.
You're going to interview next week's one.
I'll interview next week's, I promise. I promise. Woo! Right, anyway, listen. Here's the plan for this week. It's going to interview next week's one. I'll interview next week's, I promise.
I promise.
Right, anyway, listen.
Here's the plan for this week.
It's going to be a real-time episode, one hour,
and we don't have so much planned as in planned,
but I thought we'd do a...
Yes, you, with a hand up.
Tales from the dance floor.
Yes, you can do it in a minute.
Okay.
Right, so I've got a box that's been sitting in my fucking flat for ages.
Hello, we're in Harrow this week.
We could describe it as a bargain bin, couldn't we, Paul?
It's a bargain bin.
It's a bargain bucket of things that have been left out of the show
because we didn't find a place for them.
I lost the details.
It didn't fit in with this, that, and the other.
We're going to do a rummage episode.
It's a rummage bucket.
Get your hand.
Oh, look, I've got my sleeves up already.
He's got his sleeves up.
We're going to be getting our rummaging.
I'm ready to get my hands fucking filthy.
We're going to get rummaging this week.
I'm going to get fucking writing.
Writing. Right up and under. Up to our fucking filthy. We're going to get rummaging this week. I'm going to get fucking writing. Writing.
Right up and under.
Up to our fucking elbows.
I'm fucking hell, man.
I can smell the rummage grease.
Right, so we're going to rummage through this box and pull out things,
and then we're going to put them into piles of nonsense.
Oh, no, we're going to have two piles, everybody, at the end of this.
Stuff that we're going to just dismiss, and then stuff we like.
And then, right at the end...
We'll go, oh, that was the best one.
We will each pick our own favourite. We will. That's the plan this week ramage episode is a whole new format
everybody don't get out one week when paul is finishing his novel yeah it's the last time this
is the last it'll be done this week i have heard that at least six or seven times before i know
at least i am literally on the last chapter now why This is why I wanted to say to you, we all believe in you and hope that you finish your book.
Everyone.
Your publisher, your friend Eli.
Right, so with that being said, let Eli now go to your mini Tales from the Dance Floor.
Mini?
Well, you said to me it was a small one.
I beg your pardon?
I hope to, yeah.
It's me.
What's going on here?
I've got a tiny knob
oh
I suck at the death
wow
is he going to hang around
all the episode
no
he was just
waiting for his Uber
he's had five minutes
oh mate
five minutes he said
oh mate
he said five minutes
I go fuck in the back
of his car
alright okay
calm down mate
right I'm DJing okay
and then I'm doing
the second to last set of the night.
And it's a bit of a struggle.
Yeah.
Just a vibe thing, Paul.
There was just a low energy in the whole...
Even though it was busy and people seemed to be enjoying themselves,
cheering and the band music.
It was all pretty...
It just felt just like a struggle.
Sometimes it does.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And funnily enough, all of the bar staff were like,
oh, it was taking forever for them as well.
It wasn't a fun night.
It's one of those nights.
It was busy.
Busy.
It's just that the clientele was so giving this vibe that was just this love.
Tired.
So that was sort of the background.
Right.
I was pleased to hear that the sound guy said that the bar staff weren't feeling the vibe.
The vibe was off.
It wasn't just me.
Fine.
You know?
Yeah.
But I wasn't having a
great night no
but yeah I'm doing my
second to last of four
sets I do that's that
right yes do second
it's his penultimate
my penultimate so the
band are about to come
on for their last of
three sets they do
and then you come back
on after that and wrap
the half hour but that's
like an easy one because
it's right at the end
yeah you know the less
pressure less pressure
with about 15 minutes
to go of this set yeah the crowd half them leave basically okay off the dance floor before the band
thinking and i'm just my morale is already yeah yeah okay so you're in the middle of my set i
don't need this my morale's already kind of low yeah i'm thinking how people are leaving there's
not as a dj there's nothing worse than people leaving who have no i agree whilst you're still
playing tunes that's the. It's demoralising
yes I understand. Really bad
and then the band came up and I heard
them talking and one of them
said oh apparently everyone's leaving because the
card machine went down 20 minutes ago
Oh right so no one could spend
All the card no one could and that's
why but so I thought ah. Don't they take
cash? At least it wasn't me. No one has
cash and they have to leave
leave the venue
and go across the street
to get the cash out
oh god
that's the worst
thing that can happen
in a pub innit
finally enough
it cheered me up
because I thought
at least it wasn't me
who turned them all out
yeah no
no you've done a good job
there in
having a passive
part to play
in that whole story
what a long night
well what a I mean it's different from the usual, you know, derogatory.
It was, wasn't it?
Punching down kind of idea of your usual story.
Okay, then what happened was they didn't get to me, the requesters,
that time, because I was talking to Jimmy, the sound guy,
and he said, because they were these kind of knuckle-dragging type of loud.
Right, bruisers, yeah.
Not bruisers, just...
Yeah, I'm not listening.
They go over to him on the sound booth,
and they go, and ask him for a request,
because they think he's the DJ.
Oh, right.
And so they ask him for Amy Winehouse and what have you,
and he kept saying, oh, the DJ's up there, point towards me.
But they didn't get up.
Yeah, fuck them.
They probably lost the motivation.
Once the story got out that the card machines weren't working everyone's priority shifted you know
anyway what a reasonably mediocre story but at least it was different i'm ready to rummage now
paul right i'm gonna press the fucking goddamn clip button yes i'm gonna put a sound effect in
and then after that it's a real-time episode so here we go. 3, 2, 1.
Start the clock.
We're off. Right, I'm getting my hand in.
We're off.
Yeah.
I mean, you can look. It's not like we have to do a surprise thing.
I've got a ring.
This is a little jewellery case.
Oh, yeah. I know what that is.
Do you?
I think that was given to
That's actually
from Digitizer I think
I think it's a prop I stole
Is it another
mole embryo?
No it's not a mole embryo
So I've got a little one
that might
Do you remember Chegwin?
Yes
What happened to Chegwin?
He's still on my
He's very shrivelled now
compared to when I first
I mean it must look like
a raisin at this point
It's worse than that
It's a micro toothyothy gnoll bump.
You know, you can just flush it.
You don't have to keep it.
We're not flushing Chegwin.
Fuck Chegwin.
Fuck all Chegwins.
He's dead.
The real Chegwin.
Anyway,
this is a white leatherette.
This is a white leatherette.
This is a white leatherette ring case.
What leatherette?
Fake leather.
Oh, okay.
I thought...
Okay.
That a man in the 70s might present an engagement ring to.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, fuck.
Can I have this?
It doesn't come out the box.
It's a joke.
Oh, it's just that.
So what it is, is it's a little...
A little thing's mooning me.
You open the lid, and there's a little bent-over figure pulling a moony.
Actually, it could be a goat's egg, couldn't it?
And also, what it used to do is when you opened it,
it went...
The little fart.
But that has long since gone to the land of death.
So, the joke there is that you get down on one knee
in front of the lady you love and you go,
I wish to propose.
And you open the box and you show that.
And she laughs because she takes it really seriously.
I don't understand the use, the case.
No, there's no use.
The joke begins and ends with,
ha ha ha, you thought you were getting engaged
and now you're getting a fart in your face.
Yeah, but then...
What? Yeah, then what?
If you were in that position with someone
when they thought, you know, you might propose to them.
Yeah, no, you're right.
Isn't it?
It's horrible.
It's a pointless shitty gag.
It doesn't work as a gag.
All right, but is it going in the pile?
Oh, we need to come up with the name of the pile.
Is it a pile of joy or a pile of...
I see what you've done now with this.
No, I don't know.
It's the bionification.
The inshitification and bionification.
Of the Cheap Show podcast.
It is of the Cheap Show podcast.
So is it a pile of shit or is it a pile of hit
it's a pile of shit
for me
it's a shit for me
dog
what if we disagree
um
we'll
we'll tickle
whoever laughs first
wins
no we won't
um
jock off race
I'll tell you what
Paul
yeah
if one of us likes
one thing
yeah
and the other doesn't
yeah
that still goes in the
pile of hit
because we have to
decide at the end.
Okay, all right.
Personal favourites.
All right, yeah, I'll go with that.
But in this case, it's in the shit.
It's a shit pile.
We've started off on the shit note with the bumhole ring case.
There's also an addendum.
There's a bag here.
Oh, addendum, addendum.
That's become your fucking poultice, that word.
Addendum, addendum.
We all need addendum.
I'm going to reach in now.
I got money, I spend them.
Now play with my hairy addendum.
Hairy addendum?
Like an appendage.
Like your dick's got like a brush end to it.
Like a hoover attachment.
It's just got like a bristle
at the end.
It's got a bristle accessory.
It fucking looks like
a caveman's prop.
It looks like a wired
washing up brush.
Right, there's some vinyls here. I'm going to
pull them out and see what we've got.
We've got Making Whoopie, the
Barrel House Mob featuring Tony Harrison
and his magic piano.
It's just a piano thing.
Oh dear.
Look at that. You know what's funny?
Because there's a painting illustrating
the cover.
There's also a photo of Tony Harrison,
but he's wearing exactly the same thing.
That's so weird.
In the photo and the illustration behind it.
The illustration makes it look like he looks like Steve. It's actually based on the same photo.
But the drawing looks like Stephen Fry with mumps.
It's just terrible.
Mate, I tell you what.
Hang on.
Stick it on the vinyl.
We've got a vinyl here.
Stick it on.
Alright, I'll do it. Fine, you sit down.
And play it. Okay, I can operate that.
We're going to capture the audio live,
mate, in the podcast.
This is the type of record you see in charity shops a hell of a lot, isn't it?
It's sort of a party
record. I presume this stuff has been
sent to us, donated, PO box, all that kind of stuff.
Slap it on the vinyl quick
and just drop the needle anywhere on it
and see what we get.
Well, I'm just looking at the song list here.
What have we got?
I'm just looking at what would be the most fun.
So, side one.
California, here I come,
I'm sitting on top of the world.
Okay.
Oh, it's a quick step.
This is a dance record
because they've got the type of...
The foxtrot or whatever.
The type of ballroom dance you would do.
This will be a salsa in the two-step style.
Well, there are...
There's a foxtrot, a rumba, a cha-cha, a samba, a tango, a gavotte.
You don't hear that very much.
I don't even know what a gavotte is.
A two-step.
Right.
You heard of a two-step?
Yeah.
Two-step's also a sort of sub-genre of rare groove sort of soul.
Oh, okay.
I'll take your word for it.
Two Steps soul, they call it.
Right.
It's a great thing.
It's a mid-tempo.
All right.
Slap it on quick.
Look.
We've got Quick Step, Quick Step, Modern Waltz.
Ooh.
55 minutes left.
Modern Waltz.
All right, that's it.
What do you want?
What song?
Modern Waltz.
Modern Waltz.
Sloop John B. That's a song that we all recognise, right? That's the Beach Boys, isn's it. What do you want? What song? Modern Waltz. Modern Waltz. Sloop John B.
That's a song that we all recognise, right?
That's the Beach Boys, isn't it?
Get me to the church on time.
Eli.
Modern Waltz.
Modern Waltz.
What am I meant to do?
Modern Waltz.
Get me to the church on time.
What do I do?
What do I do here?
That's a great song, isn't it?
David Bowie. See, I know songs. I know a song or two. What do I do? What do I do here? That's a great song, isn't it? David Bowie.
See, I know songs.
I know a song or two.
What's that song called?
A Modern Love.
Yes.
It's where he begins with the talking bit.
I can never remember.
He goes,
I don't know what I love.
I don't know what I want.
He was great.
I even love his tweet.
Never heard of him.
Never heard of him.
Anyway, go on.
Shall we have Sloop John B?
Yeah, stick it on. As I say, stick it on quick. It's pristine, this record. Yeah, go on. Shall we have Sloop John B? Yeah, stick it on. Just, as I say,
stick it on quick. This is Christine,
this record. Yeah, because no one's ever wanted
or needed to play it. Maybe a gift that he gave.
It's really quite creepy, the
artwork of the photo. Look at it again.
Oh, no, no. Put side five,
track five of side two on. It's got
Oh, I do like to be beside
the seaside when Johnny comes marching
home. It's got all those ones.
The day, the man who...
What tracks do you want?
Five, it says.
Track five, side two.
I don't know what Gavotte is, or Gavotte.
Featuring,
I was delighted when David Marcus
asked me to review the album,
which is the latest from his ever-expanding collection
of dancing records, which have the latest from his ever-expanding collection of dancing records
which have become popular around the world.
This is Carl
Alan Award winner, oh no, Flora Miller.
Oh, because...
Yeah.
Right, go on, play it.
Just... Ah, fuck it.
No.
Oh, it is on quite loud.
Oh.
Oh, yeah.
It's very Bobby Crushy, isn't it?
I quite like this.
This is deep, easy listening.
This is so lounge.
This is so haunted.
This is haunted Blackpool Pleasure Beach ballroom.
Yeah.
Wow.
It's not terrible.
I kind of like it.
For what it is.
So cheesy.
But it also sounds like the kind of stuff you hear in a mall in the 1980s.
Yeah, it's Muzak.
Is this it now?
Yeah.
This is the track you requested.
I want this.
Really?
What song is this supposed to be?
No, this is Sloop John B you've put on.
No, it isn't.
It is, because you put Side 1 on.
Yeah, it is.
This is Side 2.
This is Side...
Well, this...
Hang on.
Well, look, Side 2.
No, but...
Seaside. Side 1, Sloopy John Bob's. Yeah, it is. This is side two. Well, look, side two.
See side.
Side one, Sloopy John Bob's.
And on the sloop, John B. I think they put the labels on the wrong side.
Because look, you can see that is side two that was playing.
Yeah, you're not wrong.
Oh, that's unusual.
You don't often get that, do we, as a side effect.
Okay, let's see if we can get this over with.
I just want to get this over with.
Track five, yeah.
Yeah, track five.
Weird that the song I wanted was the wrong one on the opposite side.
So we both got what we want, ladies and gentlemen.
That worked out nice.
One, two, three, four, five.
Five.
Here we go.
I just want to hear a little bit of that.
Have they slowed it down?
Or is this the end of the last track?
I think it's the end of the last track.
When Irish eyes are smiling, the rows of
trolley are modern waltz.
It's a modern waltz.
So, one, two, three, one.
Modern waltz. I've got
herpes. Modern waltz.
Oh, fuck. Come on.
I'm 51 minutes.
He's called Tony Harrison.
I just realised. It's very close
to Tony Harris, isn't it?
Yeah, it does.
Oh, mate, you've got to give this to Biffo.
Yeah.
You could put Tony Harris to cover with...
Ted Danson records.
Oh, dear.
All together.
Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside.
Oh, I do like to be beside
the sea.
Oh, I do like
to stroll along the prom,
prom, prom. I get
me jobber up
and give it a big throb
on. Oh, I do
like to wank upon
the seaside.
Oh, I do like to wank upon the seaside. Oh, I do like to wank upon the sea.
Oh, I do like to get my shaft and wiggle it about inside the seaside.
My dirty seaman.
You kept time quite well there.
I'm very good at keeping...
I've done the shit. I'm very good at keeping... Up-de-dup-de-dup.
I've done the shit, I've wiped it in.
I've gone and done another.
I've gone up there and I have cleaned the stairs of all the fragments.
And I've got a...
Sticky clout.
Glory, glory, I have shat them.
Nuggets!
Glory, glory, I have shat them.
Roll bops.
Glory, glory, I have shat them.
But there ain't no bog roll left.
There we go.
Oh, stop.
Anyway, does making whoopie go in the hit pile or the shit pile?
Hit or shit? Shit. Oh, all right., does making Whoopi go in the hit pile or the shit pile? Hit or shit?
Shit.
Oh, all right.
You going to hit?
I'm not all that bothered, so I'm going to go with you.
The cover is really something.
Yeah.
Or pictures of the things we look at today on the Cheap Show podcast website,
thecheapshow.co.uk.
Mrs. Mills.
Hang on.
Mrs. Mills. there's another record
no party is ever complete
without a sing-along
accompanied
preferably
by a jingly jangly
honky tonk piano
their words
not mine
well actually
Alan J Butler's words
this is on
the
Sound Superb
Music for Pleasure
music for pleasure were a cheap, very budget record label.
But they did do some Northern Soul comps,
and there were interesting things.
Isn't that Funny Bones compilation that we've got,
with all those weird comedy songs on?
Yeah, and I think Sound Superb is obviously a sub-label,
or a series.
Legitimate or something.
Original label.
Well, no, because it's got Mrs. Mills on it,
which is literally bottom of the organ barrel.
Yes.
Bottom of the organ barrel.
The old piano organ barrel.
As we talked about before,
Mrs. Mills sold these albums,
banged them out like nobody's business,
sold millions and millions and millions.
You know, she was a household name throughout the 70s.
Again, this is one of...
Pristine.
This is incredibly pristine vinyl. I'm thinking I could get quite a lot was a household maid throughout the 70s. Again, this is... Pristine. This is incredibly
pristine vinyl.
I'm thinking I could get
quite a lot of money for that
on Discogs.
No, you couldn't.
I think I could.
I think, very good,
plus plus X.
She must have put out
more records than anybody else.
This is, again,
another completely new to me
Mrs Mills record.
Yeah, I've never seen this one.
There's been plenty
where you see her, like,
drawn in an animated style
around a piano
in a sing song or on the beach or they cut her head out and see her like drawn in an animated style around a piano in a sing-song or on
the beach or they
cut her head out
and put her on
like animated
drawn album
covers don't they?
Yeah.
In that weird
carry-on style.
But it's almost
like one of those
food mascots.
Those sort of
racist food mascots.
What are they
called?
Not mascots.
No I know
what you mean.
Like Uncle Ben
or something.
Yeah that kind
of thing.
It's almost like she's a sort of trademark.
Like a brand.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah.
Like a brand character.
Non-stop honky-tonk party. 25 all-time favourites.
I like the piano. They're all multi-keys. That's multi-coloured keys.
It's just so generic what she does.
And there's no sort of personality to her beyond the fact she's Mrs Mills and plays the piano.
But it's interesting I'm gathering
without looking at
the internet
that she
was probably just a woman
who worked in a
working man's club
or something
and was seen by a record
producer
and went
do you want to put
some tracks down
she was really popular
hugely popular
she put out 700 LP
I mean it's apocryphal
isn't there a rumour
that she actually sold more records than the Beatles all in?
Yeah.
Something like that.
But I don't know any of these tracks.
Oh, no, I know My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean.
I'm just going to put on Sidewinder to see what it sounds like.
Just see what it sounds like.
The other thing that's nice about this is the color of it.
And also, look at the rainbow piano.
I said that.
Do you know what is interesting, mate?
All titles arranged by Jeff Love.
Jeff Love worked with Mrs Mills.
Yeah, so Jeff Love also had a range of albums
where he did covers of movies and TV themes and shit, didn't he?
I was talking about Jeff Love on...
Your radio show on Solo.
Yesterday, because I played the Batman theme.
Oh, yeah, it's cool, that.
The Batman theme is so funky.
We'll save that for another episode, I reckon,
because I would like to play that.
Astronaut House, Hounslow Road, Felton, Middlesex.
That's not too far from here then, is it?
Middlesex?
Middlesex is the county in North London.
Well, not in North London.
It used to be...
Yeah, it used to be separate.
It was abolished.
It disappeared as a county because...
They extended the thingamajig.
Well, when they did the modern...
Not interested.
Put it on.
The modern boroughs.
Modern boroughs.
Da-da-da-da.
Modern boroughs.
Shut up.
Get me to the church.
Oh, here we go.
Let it play for a bit.
Really?
This is side two.
I've got a big fat arse
and when I walk in the doorway
People just put this on when they had friends round
and were having them.
Or Halloween.
Not Halloween.
Like New Year's Eve party, I guess.
I've got a great big willy
I showed it to the dog
He bit it in the half
And then it all dropped off
And then it all dropped off
And then I fed it to the cat
And then I fed it to the cat
And then I fed it to the cat
And then the dog died
It doesn't even make sense
The dog died
Then I ate the dog
And the dog died
Then I ate the dog And then I dog died, then I ate the dog.
And then I died and I burst out of the stomach of a broccoli stalk. Well, you've ruined it now, haven't you?
I eat broccoli, it makes my shit turn green.
And when I go to the movies, I look at the silver screen.
Good stuff.
And then there's a man and he's got his toucher out.
And he does nothing but gives it a big spunky spout
The spout, the spout, the spout
Stop this. Stop this.
This is what it's like for me, Paul.
I've got a knob on my
I've got a knob on
I've got a chub on
I've got a chub lock knob
It's going in the shit pile.
It certainly is.
That's awful. Really annoying music.
This is not an album, Eli. Look what it is.
It's an addition of the board game
Kensington. Yes, it's a Kensington board game.
It's in our rummage box today.
Yeah, I've got a copy of this already.
But we've mentioned this before, but
yes, it's a board game.
But every time I ever
see it on sale, someone's put it in with the vinyl records.
That's because it is designed like a gatefold lp yes same size same you can literally use this
sleeve plastic sleeve for a gatefold you could you wouldn't want to though because this is that
type of plastic that outgasses if sunlight hits it what's that mean and then you miss up your vinyl
oh right and that's bad because it wilts the paper or whatever.
No, no.
Actually, you know,
have you ever had a vinyl that's misty?
It's got the sort of,
it's like it's got steam sort of on the surface.
Oh, never.
No, not really.
And can affect the sound.
Right.
But, and it's this stuff,
this type of plastic,
this sort of slightly more hard,
you know.
Yeah.
43 minutes left, mate.
That.
And then they know it works because sometimes in the 60s,
Beatles records, for example, would have like a smooth cover.
Right.
You know, like it's been laminated, like a plastic covering on there.
But the back will just be plain cardboard.
And then they'd be be a sleeve like this
and then only the back
of the record
where it's been sitting there
the back gets misted up
where it hasn't had
the protection of that plastic
on the back.
So what's the best plastic sleeve
to have then?
Just not this.
Not PVC.
Oh, is that PVC?
I think so, yeah.
Fine.
But I guess it's...
Polyurethane,
which is like the plastic bag stuff.
See through that.
Because you can see
it's kind of warped
a little bit as well,
that plastic.
It's not.
I don't like it. No. I don't like it.
No, I don't like it.
But it's fine for Kensington.
All of them came in at Kensington.
What is Kensington then?
It was a game.
Look at one.
That's a very old school thing.
The Design Centre London.
I used to go there.
There's a little symbol for the Design Centre London.
Why?
Is it made by them?
Or produced?
Or sold there?
It's that big place on the corner, isn't it?
It's not there anymore. it that it's not there
anymore oh it's not there anymore oh i think it's a very 80s whenever designer stuff you didn't
before the 80s nothing was described as a designer this or design it was a very 80s coinage
say a designer part of that yuppie yeah absolutely part of that whole thing yeah um and this kind of
came along with that they're sort of like hippies these two guys the story is on
the back of
how they created
it
and they
got inspired
by
an existing
Indian game
I think
they were like
travellers
you know
they did the
whole hippie
trail
and they
found an
Arabian
or Indian
game
and they
were also
influenced by carpets
I think
like the
in general
like the carpet
the shape of the carpet
oh the pattern of the carpet
or the rug or whatever
the pattern of Arabic
sort of art
or yeah
and they called it Kensington
because they were staying there
or something
but you've got
I love the photo of the
where is that
is that the Albert
that's the Albert Memorial
in Kensington
just out the front of the Royal Albert Hall that's right just Albert that's the Albert Memorial in Kensington just out the front of
the Royal Albert Hall
that's right
just across from the
Royal Albert Hall
in the park
look at the beautiful sky
back in the 80s
so what kind of game is it
like a chess kind of thing
or like Go
or something
it has things in common
with both those
but it's more like Go
because there's no different
all the pieces
are exactly the same
right
there's no pawns
and kings
so it looks kind of dull though tell me about it There's no different... All the pieces are exactly the same. Right. There's no pawns and kings.
So it looks kind of dull, though.
Have a look.
It's fun.
Kensington is a really fun, fascinating game offering a formidable and potentially victorious challenge
to such classic rivals as chess.
Don't you fucking snatch!
Backgammon, or even
cards, excellent value.
Absolutely no attribution to that quote.
Yeah, so I don't think it really
it didn't catch on as a
sort of, what they wanted is for it
to catch on as a
Yeah, a minute to learn, a lifetime
to master, quick to pick up, slow to put
down, capture small shapes to frustrate
your opponent. Yes. Construct
large shapes to defeat your opponent.
Yeah. So that's it. You have to...
I'll show you, Paul. Is the game
in the game? Yeah.
Oh, yeah. It's all in. That's it.
Basically, you can see that
there are these... Grids.
No, these shapes. What's that?
A hexagon. Once you get
basically your pieces around any of the white ones or your colour that you've won.
You've won the game when you have a piece on each corner.
Okay.
You see?
So it's like, yeah.
It's like Go like that.
Okay, all right.
Fine.
Anyway, I had a different version.
There was a luxury version of this, which was the board game on a piece of glass.
Oh.
And it was bigger. I've never heard of the glass version of this, which was the board game on a piece of glass. Oh. And it was bigger.
I've never heard of the glass version of that.
The other thing to mention is I thought for years that that was John Lithgow.
He's John Lithgow.
The board is strange because on the actual board itself there were just faces.
See, that's the glass one that they obviously have there that they took the photo on, on the inside cover.
Imagine being that guy.
I'd be pissed off.
I'd fucking pose for your photograph.
That is a great big pink hexagon right over my face.
Who's going to know what's in your fucking game?
Anyway.
Took a week off work for this.
Talking of board games, Paul,
did you hear that story about the Chinese chess champion?
Uh, no.
Okay, there's this game called Chinese chess, yeah?
Right.
Which, again, I don't understand.
But it's the biggest game in China, sort of.
It's popular as chess in China sort of it's like as
popular as chess in
China give it to me I
just don't care it's
going in the shit pile
anyway it's not going
it's going the good
pile for me can I
please no all right go
on just tell your story
about the Chinese
champion he was he
was disqualified from a
tournament oh no for
this guy you caught wanking?
No.
Disgraceful behaviour or something.
Yeah, he was in a hotel room and stuff.
He shat in the bath.
Yeah, shat in the bath.
But there was also an accusation that he cheated.
This is after he won the big tournament.
The World Championship or something.
That he cheated with anal beads.
Yeah, because they vibrated because the computer was doing...
But that was also Magnus Magnusson.
Yeah.
Not Magnus Magnusson,
but Magnusson,
who's the world chess champion,
one of the best chess people,
accused his opponent last year
of doing the same thing
with anal beads.
Because what?
There's a computer
running the program off
and they're sending in
like via an app
to the love egg
to vibrate to say
what move to make next somehow.
Yeah.
He sits there and goes...
It's probably one.
Like, it's Queen 6-4 or something.
It wouldn't be exact moves.
You'd have sort of, like,
two or three prepared openings
or responses to openings.
I'll give you a prepared opening, yeah.
I don't know how you cheat, actually.
There's loads of records in here.
We're not going to go through.
I mean, there's that one, the Platters,
Flanagan and Allen.
Can I have a look at them, please?
My Fair Lady.
No, we haven't got time to just do only records in this box.
We're going to move on.
We can have a look later, you and me.
There's more records over there.
I want to see those records over there that I haven't seen.
We've got that one.
Look, it's the Bang on a Drum playscore. Can I have it?
You've got Paddy Roberts tries again.
I haven't seen, never seen that.
Yeah, but we've got no time to talk about just records.
There's a whole box here.
The Wombles.
Oh, the Wombles is in a box.
Oh, I've never seen that before either.
There's a letter with this one.
Oh, someone's going to be really upset.
I bet they don't listen no more.
This is from Savas. Oh, someone's going to be really upset. I bet they don't listen no more. This is from Savas.
Spent no... Oh, it's...
Oh, okay. So they sent it. How many years
ago is this? I don't know. A while
since I've lived in this flat. Paul.
Thank you, Savas Elwin,
for sending all these vinyl and some
games. I think we've used bits of these elsewhere.
It might be even some of the box. Look, there's a Wombles
three box collection vinyl. I want
this. Have it. I don't want Wombles in me house. This, there's a Wombles three box collection vinyl. I want this. Have it.
I don't want Wombles in me house.
Oh, this is Mike Batts.
Mike Batts Opus.
Oh, this is...
I like this.
It's just the box.
Why are you never
showing me this?
Because it's been in the box.
This is like all the Wombles records.
All of them.
The pristine fucking vinyl, mate.
Give them to Rogan
where he could jazz all over them.
Oh.
So yeah, it's a three...
Hang on. How many Wombble songs did that fucker write?
A lot.
He's banging out loads of fucking albums.
Wow, this must be all of the Womble material.
Does it say anything inside what they are?
No, it doesn't come with anything.
Oh, there is something.
Is there?
Is there a slip or something?
There's a sheet.
Oh, have a look.
I bet it's a post-Womble's poster or something.
Oh, open it up.
It looks like a Womble's poster.
It looks like a poster of the Wombles.
Oh, mate.
Look at that.
Keep on Wombling.
It's the Wombles on stage, playing on stage.
They look good.
They look like they're loving it.
Mike Batt produced that group, Steelye Span.
Yes.
And at one point, Steelye Span had to put the suits on and be the Wombles on top of the pops.
What a life.
band had to put the suits on and be the Wombles on top of the pops. What a life.
What a weird period
as well for music where you can have the Wombles
and the goodies in the same fucking charts that week.
It's that era, isn't it?
The Wombles. The Wombles. Anyway, you can have
that one. That's going in the hit pile, I imagine.
You want to throw that in the hit pile?
Thank you, SMS.
Thanks for sending those.
Also, that Bang on a Drum, which is the
Funky Play School record. I've already got two copies, but're going to look in this bag. Also, that Bang on a Drum, which is the Funky Play School record,
I've already got two copies, but that might be a super clean one.
So can I just, while you rummage, can you just hand me that?
Which one?
The Bang on a Drum.
This is a worse one.
Oh, is it really bad?
I think we've been through this before, but have a look.
Okay.
This might be even your one.
Yeah, it's not in great condition.
Okay, forget it then.
I've already got two copies of that.
Yeah, you've got too many copies of Bang the Drum.
Right, there's a bag here.
There's Paul over there.
Right.
Oh, there's a black bag.
He's gone in.
He's having a rummage.
What's coming out of the bag?
There's a big jelly gummy.
How out of date is that?
Let's have a look.
Has it got milk products in it?
Yeah, probably.
It's a sundae.
It's got beef gelatin in it.
That's nice.
It's a sundae. Beef sundae. Strawberry flav it. That's nice. It's a sundae.
Beef sundae.
Strawberry-flavoured gummy.
It actually is from Poundland, by the looks of things.
And best before 2023.
That is last year, my friend.
Ben.
That's going on the no pile for me.
Because we're not Stuart Ashen,
where we'll eat anything that's 80 years old.
I'll give it a taste.
No.
I'll have a taste.
It will just taste of gummy.
It won't be horrible, I don't think. Shall I taste it? Come on. Yeah, give it a taste. No. I'll have a taste. It'll just taste of gummy. It won't be horrible, I don't think.
Shall I taste it?
Come on.
Give it a suck.
Oh, it smells like piss.
Or like vinegar or something.
Smell that.
Yeah, it smells
It's got an off milk
It is
I think there's a milk content
It's like a tang
It's got a tang
It's got a milky
Off milky tang
A milky tang
I won't be tasting that
Good

On the no pile.

Okay, dog.
Oh, I used to have this

Then I don't know
It's not a copyright thing
They said you cannot save it
Because it's been marked

Use it for masturbation.
Do you know what I mean?
Is that what it is?
Do you think that's what they're thinking?
I just don't.
I can't see what the thinking is.
I can't think what the thinking is.
You can't think full stop.
Say, put a full stop there, Paul.
Full stop.
You don't think.
Tunes from the tunes.
I'm just wondering if someone's on a playlist on Spotify.

Mints on card.
Mints on card, ladies and gentlemen.
It is a card.
It's a personal alarm, Paul.
Oh, is that what that is?
Should I set it off?
No, I don't think it's even working, is it?
Why wouldn't it be working?
Because there's no battery in it, maybe?
What if I'm suddenly in some kind of distress?
I've just bought this.
Yeah.
Then it's not ready to go.
Yeah, but also it should be ready to go.
It's been in the box for years.
So I can't vouch for whether it's going to work.
It's going to press it. Right. It's a tear shop box for years, so I can't vouch for whether it's going to work. It's going to press it.
Right.
It's a tear shop drape.
Yeah, it's just so you can have...
Tear shop drape.
I know, yeah.
Pulled the right gun in there, didn't you?
Teardrop shaped.
So it looks feminine.
It's a terrible thing.
Well, it's not particularly feminine.
They're trying to make it look a bit like an earring.
No, it's just meant to look like something that can hang off your keychain and look nondescript.
Yeah.
And so you can easily grab for if you need to.
But it doesn't seem to depress.
Let's have a look.
Oh, you've got to pull the tab out the back.
Oh.
I don't think you press that, do you?
I'll tell you what.
If I'm being attacked in the street all of a sudden, I'm like, does this work?
How is this working?
Please pull out plastic tab after unboxing
so that your alarm is ready to use. Done it.
Emergency activation. Simply pull on the
key ring. Oh god.
Well, it doesn't work.
Oh, oh.
I'm being beaten to death for my phone

must be dead on this then
probably for the best
you can replace the battery

hit or shit
shit for me
shit for me dog
thanks for sending it in
whoever did though
what's all this
well pass it over
some of it we've had before
what's that
a lightbulb lolly oh it? A lightbulb lolly.
Oh, it's a lightbulb lolly.
Is this an actual
confectionery that lights up?
I think we might have done this
on the podcast.
We have not.
I'm excited by this.
This is an actual thing
that lights up
that you can suck it, suck.
I think so, yeah.
I think it's a suckable lightbulb
with a candy lolly thing in it.
Oh, my word.
Does it glow up?
Does it glow up?
Does it say?
No.
It looks like it's got something
in the middle of it. That's the lolly bit. Oh, it bollocks. It looks like it's got something in the middle of it.
That's the lolly bit. Oh, it
bollocks then. Look, it's just... I thought you could suck
the ball. Mate, I
thought you could suck the ball.
It's just a lolly. It's just like a push pop.
Yeah. In a
screw top
type thing. I guess it protects the lolly.
Dirty shit.
Dirty lolly. Dirty lolly.
Shit.
It's out for me.
Are we going to have
anything we like?
Oh, there you go.
What about that?
Wallet hero.
It's another one of these.
It's another one of those.
I've got one of my wallet.
But you said it's lethal.
Yeah, because it's
jagged at the side.
When you're trying
to open a bottle,
you've got your fingers
on the blade bit.
This is a multi-tool, in case anyone listening
is wondering. Yeah, it goes in your wallet.
It's flat like a credit card, but it's also a screwdriver.
I don't carry a wallet. I know.
But that has come in handy when I have mine in my wallet.
It is a handy thing. I would say hit.
Because it's practical and useful.
I'm going to hit and I'm going to have it as well.
I'm having it!
Another bloody lolly! have it as well. All right. I'm having it. Look at the bloody
lolly.
Well, you can need
to charity shop
some of this.
Oh, look, Paul,
this is for you.
What is it?
It's the history buffet.
Oh, yeah, it's a blank.
It's just an exercise
book type thing.
You just write notes.
It's got your name on it.
It's for you.
Yeah, because I always
like having pads around
for jotting thoughts and ideas down. It's got your name on it. It's for you. Yeah, because I always like having pads around for jotting thoughts
and ideas down. It has a
picture of what looks like Sherlock Holmes.
It looks like Sherlock Holmes. But it says
The History Buffet. What does that refer to? I don't understand.
Maybe it's a range of something.
And on the back it has a
newspaper boy.
Oh, I'm Governor. Do you fancy a copy
of The Evening Standard, Governor?
No. Oh, they'll beat me.
Take one.
They'll beat me if I come back with any.
I'll beat you if you keep hanging around here.
I'm in a rocking hard place today, Governor.
I'll give you a rock in your hard place.
Hey, it's-a me, Cardinal Arsene.
You want to come over here and use Piper Boy?
Oh, I'll come over there, Standard.
This is not Standard where I come from.
Paul, you can't bring back... Actually, it's a bit smaller than Standard. This is not standard where I come from. Paul, you can't bring that.
Actually, it's a bit smaller than standard.
Orphan boy was at the wedding.
Different orphan.
Fuck off.
Thanks for sending that in.
It's a perfectly good lined notepad.
Yeah, I'll use that.
Hit.
Oh, look.
Inflatable vinyl cushion for men with the piles.
Or anyone with the piles, I guess.
Oh, look.
This is like a donut-shaped cushion.
It's a donut cushion.
I've seen these before on the pages of Vids.
Knobby Piles.
Knobby Piles.
I know what you mean, but yeah.
Is it called Knobby Piles?
I don't know.
Oh, it smells of that vinyl, doesn't it?
Smell that.
Smell the vinyl.
Smell that.
That is musky vinyl smell.
Smells like guttering.
Smells like rancid guttering.
It's that smell.
It's a bit like the smell
of those costume shops
or the spirit Halloween shop.
All those...
Oh, that's...
He's put his mouth
through the hole
and he's putting his...
He's making mouth noises.
And it looks like...
That looks quite freaky. Let me do it. Yeah. I should take a picture of you doing it. No, looks like that looks quite freaky.
Let me do it.
Yeah.
I should take a picture
of you doing it.
No, don't take a picture of me.
I'm going to take a picture
of you doing it.
Put your mouth on it.
Put my mouth on it.
Yeah, that's sexy.
No.
Take a picture.
Do it again.
I'm not fucking doing it.
Take one of me.
Take one of me.
I'll do it.
Some of us, mate,
know how to please our audience.
He's doing it.
Oh, the smell is on my face now.
More tongue action.
Stare coldly through.
Turn your head more towards me.
All right.
Yeah.
Let's have a look at this.
Now, I presume it will do the job fine.
That cushion, but it smells...
That's a weird picture of me.
Yeah.
It's weird, isn't it?
What?
Oh, I've got cassettes.
Loads more cassettes, Paul.
Oh, yeah.
That's out.
The bum cushion's out.
Oh, it's out.
Over there.
I have to take pictures of all this shit.
They're all video games, unfortunately.
Oh, Sinclair bollocks.
Fuck that.
Yeah, they're all video games.
Millionaire.
Never heard of it.
By incentive.
I was going to give these to Octavius,
and I just keep forgetting to give them to him.
Well, hang on to these then,
because that wouldn't be of interest to me.
You'd need a ZX Spectrum, would you?
Well, some old computer, I'd imagine.
Right, what have we else got in the box?
But don't they degenerate?
Are those going to be unplayable, you think?
Because the tape degenerates.
Yeah.
No, I mean, I don't know.
They should be fine.
What's in here? There's a big green bag big green bag oh look it's one of those noodles no look there's a bag of noodles
oh we've done that one before because that was the do that that was the video gamer something
noodle thing is it and it says energy so this might be a caffeinated one yeah but we've had
that we've literally had that no i know but might be... The other one said energy as well.
It definitely did because we talked about it
on the show. I remember us talking about it.
I think it's just a different
flavour of the same thing.
No, no. What are you talking about?
You don't know what you're talking about, do you?
I'm just saying, that pot that you've got there, that particular noodle,
the energy. We tried this and we said, why is this being marketed
like an energy drink with the silver?
But now, since we've done the Nissin noodle,
which have, and they said it's a whole category of energy noodles that they have in Japan, right?
So this must be a caffeinated noodle and we didn't even realise it when we tasted it first.
Do you see what I'm getting at now?
No, exactly. Yes, I get it.
But I still think at the time we had that discussion about the fact that was it an actual energy drink or not.
I'm going to see if there's anything of interest in this pack of noodles.
Thanks for sending it in.
What's he looking at?
Oh, look, it's like little jelly.
Oh, what the fuck is that?
What is that?
That costs 30p.
What is that?
It's little tin.
He's got two little tins.
It's got corn oil, sesame oil.
Oh, it's got...
It's corn oil and sesame oil.
What do you use that for?
Frying.
Have a look.
It comes in like a tiny soda can.
It's a tiny soda can.
And I don't know what you do with it.
Is it for a hot pot or something?
It's got corn oil in it.
Sesame.
I said that.
That's the only two ingredients, isn't it?
So that's all it is.
Is it like a broth?
Is it like you pour it in and you dilute it? Oil is not broth. That's not how you make broth. Do you just drink it? So that's all it is. Is it like a broth? Is it like you pour it in
and you dilute it?
Oil is not broth.
That's not how you make broth.
Do you just drink it?
No, I think you fry things in it.
Crispy taro with tamarind.
Should we try these?
I'm going to never...
Oh, are they sweet snacks?
Oh, yeah, okay.
I thought that was a noodle.
Yeah, if they're in date,
again,
we're not Stuart Ashen's channel.
We don't have to eat
bad shit on this show.
Best before... I bet that's going to be a while ago now, We don't have to eat bad shit on this show. Best before.
I bet that's going to be a while ago now, mate.
It has to be.
Yeah, March of last year.
Yeah, fuck it.
We're not touching it.
I'm going to taste one.
All right, well, you taste them then.
You're so desperate for the...
It's best before, isn't it?
Yeah, but, I mean...
Look, people deserve this.
All right, you do what you want then.
Oh, dear.
That's not a good face.
Yeah, regretting it?
Because I already know I hate tamarind,
so I don't even need to go...
Just have a niff-naff on that, mate.
The staleness is unbelievable.
God, it's like rot.
It's on the in-pile for me, mate.
On the rot? That's on the in- for me mate On the rot
That's on the in pile for me
There's a strong rot to that
I can't walk
Oh they're little chippies
20 minutes left mate
Let's not vomit
Oh god don't even try
I'm going to try
No
No
There's probably
Things in it
It's probably They're quite interesting Yeah but there's probably things in it.
It's probably mold. They're quite interesting.
Yeah, but there's probably mold in it.
It only went off last year, and it's best before they're fine.
I don't care.
I don't like the idea of you eating them.
They're actually quite nice.
You want to tell the microphone that, or you just want to keep it to yourself?
Try one.
No.
I know I don't like them, and also that smell is way too much to get past for me.
So you've got crispy taro on the outside.
Yeah.
And then like a tamarind paste on the inside,
so they're like a...
Well, it's going on the hit pile,
because I hate it, but you like it.
Like a custard cream.
Yeah, okay.
But with taro.
No, I'm not a fan.
A little mini custard cream.
They're very nice, quite jammy.
No, I'm not a fan.
I'm not interested.
They're very crunchy as well, the taro bit.
20 minutes left.
Try one of these. No, I know I won't like it'm not interested. But they're very crunchy as well, the taro bit. 20 minutes left. Try one of these.
No!
No, I won't like it.
It's got a coconut sort of flavour.
What else is in that bag?
Any other noodles?
That might be my favourite thing all day.
Really?
Put it there and do not throw it petulantly somewhere.
All right.
Right.
What?
No, no, no.
What else is in the bag?
Oh.
This noodle bag.
Yeah. The letter. There was a letter with Oh. This noodle bag. Yeah.
The letter.
There was a letter with this.
This is a great brand.
What is it?
What have you got?
This is an artificial pickle cabbage and fish flavour.
Instant vermicelli.
I like that.
Oh, look.
Another snack of some sort.
Pretzel pieces.
Pretzel pieces.
Jalapeno flavour.
Ah, fine.
Might be a bit too dry.
Nice jalapeno guff coming up.
The guff is enough.
No, these are from Aldi.
And they went off
three months later last year.
Oh, well, lucky for them.
You're going to try one again.
Totally.
I'm not in the mood for this shit.
Please, just try this.
These are fine.
These are pretzel pieces. Yeah, they're probably
fine.
They are overwhelmingly
pickly.
They do have a pickle, sort of almost like a dill.
Okay, that's fine. That doesn't taste
off, actually. No, it doesn't. It doesn't even taste
stale, does it? No, that's alright. It's hard for a
pretzel piece to be stale, because they're hard.
Yeah.
They'd go soft.
If they went soft,
then you'd... Oh, Paul.
I feel sick now.
Go on.
You're going to love this.
What?
What?
Show me then.
Do the music from 2001.
Lazy bands.
Lazy bands.
There's a shitload of them and they're the good quality ones.
Can I have some of these, please?
Yeah, you can have some of them.
You can have some of my stash of a lazy band.
There's loads, mate.
There's loads.
These are the wicked ones.
Yeah, they're good.
Look at the quality on those.
No, no, they're good.
You can listen to everyone.
They're really nice ones.
I will have a few of those.
All right, yeah.
Take your fill.
They'll go in the yes pile then, those.
What, just elastic bands?
They might be my favourite thing.
Put them in the bag and then put the bag over here, all right?
We'll do it that way.
Is that it?
There's one more noodle.
One more thing, have a look.
Oh, that's that...
Caccheroni.
Is that the one from Parasite?
Yeah.
Is it?
I don't know.
Either way.
It looks similar to the dish in Parasite
because there's chunks of beef on the serving suggestion.
Yeah, yeah.
Olive oil as well.
But that one in...
It's a black bean sauce ramen. Very nice. Olive oil as well. But that one in it's a black bean
sauce ramen.
Very nice.
Olive oil look it says.
That's an unusual thing.
Yeah extra virgin.
100%.
Weird.
You never associate
I don't associate
the flavour of
olives and olive oil
with cuisine from
that part of the world.
Korea and Japan.
You know?
That's very interesting.
I've got plenty of noodles by by the way, building up for us
to review, and I want to do a noodle
pot blitz. We should do a
comprehensive noodle pot blitz,
Paul, at some stage. Yes, I agree. We should catch
up on that. We're putting the rubby bands,
rubby, rubby bands in the...
Karen in Swansea says
a lot... Well, she has a long letter there, which we'll
read out another time which I think
is a
tell us on the shop floor
so I'll bank that
but Karen in Swansea
some things for you
Eli call me
she says
kiss kiss kiss
so you know
that's troubling
is there a number there
no
it's a bit hard to call anyone
when there's no number
anyway
so there's a few things
I think we've already used them
but what is it
there's a
stylistics
sing baby sing or thank you baby by the stylistics I don't know that track There's a few things. I think we've already used them, but what is it? There's a Stylistics Sing Baby Sing
or Thank You Baby by the Stylistics.
I don't know that track.
And then there's a gnome soap.
It's a bar of soap on a rope in the shape of a gnome.
Or, you know, like Eli.
Looks like Eli.
Little Eli on a rope.
Hey, that's a good idea, isn't it?
Eli on a rope.
Like Lynch. No, no, no. Not like Lynch. Hey, that's a good idea, isn't it? Eli on a rope. Like Lynch.
Like Lynch.
No, no, no.
Not like Lynch.
Well, don't.
I just mean like a soap on a rope, but in the shape of you.
Well, what?
And people can get right under their fucking guffet.
They can scrub their...
He was rubbing his perineum when he said that.
Yeah, guffet.
Rubbing their guffet with your fucking face.
Don't you like that?
Yeah.
All right, what's this?
What side is it?
Do you know this track?
It's on the right speed.
Yeah.
It's a bit too saccharine for me Alright dog
Alright dog
Not for me
But thank you Karen Swansea
I'll keep hold of the letter
And I'll read that out
At a later date
That gnome
You could re-gift that gnome
This is more like it
That guitar
Like
Okay
It's like the Delphonics
Or you know
I love you girl
Yes
Please come home baby It's make out Delphonics or, you know. I love you, girl. Yes.
Please come home, baby. It's make-out.
They're make-out tunes, aren't they?
You know you're the one for me.
It's a bit too saccharine for me, for my taste.
But it was a hugely popular sound in the 70s, wasn't it?
That soft, sweet, pop soul sort of sound.
What are they?
I don't know.
Oh, it's a little Slimer.
I've covered these on the podcast before.
I know what these are.
Can I have them?
No, because I've...
Can I have a little Slimer?
What's this?
It's a keychain or something.
I don't know what's on it.
Oh, it's a little pint glass keychain.
Oh, I like that.
And there's a Slimer on it.
That's in the yes for me.
Can I have the Slimer?
Yeah, you can have the Slimer.
Do you have this Slimer? Yeah, you can have the Slimer. Do you have this
Slimer?
No.
I have too many
fucking Slimers in
general and I don't
even like Slimer all
that much.
It's not a Slimer
on a keychain, it's
a Slimer on a
little stand.
Yeah, same
difference.
It's a little
thing.
As nice as it is
for a Ghostbusters
fan, I just don't
like Slimer at all.
Oh, that's a shame.
His hand fell off.
It's a shame, isn't it?
Oh.
It's been boshed about.
Do I want it still?
Mate, we've got ten minutes.
Do I want it still with a hand off?
What have we got left?
Thirteen,
nice little Slimer.
Yeah, you can have it if you want it.
Fourteen minutes.
Well, we should go through stuff quickly then,
shouldn't we?
Well, we spent too many times
Fucking looking at your records
Oh shut up
Oh we've done that
That's fine
We don't have to worry about that
This is a military chicken burrito bowl
Weren't we going to do these?
Yeah but
We can't do this
These are ration packs
We should do these on a video or something i think
they're past oh i was gonna say is it past their sell-by but i guess they hold no these are ration
packs these are going to keep you alive for you this is the department of defense united states
of america war fighter recommended tested and approved mre menu one chili with beans chili ooh horicots rouge haricot flameless green beans paul
flameless ration heaters are prohibited on commercial airplanes unless sealed an original
meal bag so what does this cook itself meal ready to eat individual or do you put it like in a little
pan you can just it's just i don't know but we should may okay so let's just say this now one
of the episodes you want to do this year, if we can,
is a camping episode.
We should take these.
We should take these, right?
Mine is a menu 16 chicken burrito bowl.
Burrito de poulet bowl.
I wonder how you cook these then, because there's like...
I don't think you have to.
Well, it says ready to eat, but you don't eat it cold.
So it's already been cooked.
No, because look, it says flameless ration eaters.
Listen, if you're on the war, in a war... Do these cook themselves? No. Are these like these things where you snap them? Oh, do you say flameless ration heaters listen if you're on the war in a war
do these cook themselves
no
these are these things
where you snap them
it says
flameless ration heaters
are prohibited
on commercial airlines
unless sealed
in an original meal bag
so maybe these
cook themselves
like you snap the pack
and they heat
no this isn't a flameless
ration heater
it's got stuff in it
but I don't want to open it
in case it
you know makes the stuff
inside all shit
I think what that's saying
Is saying that
If you have these
You're in the military
You probably have a heater
With it
To cook them
Yeah
Don't open it
Should we save it for the crisp
Yeah
Alright
We'll save this for the camping episode

I was going to chuck them away,
but thought I'd send them to you instead.
They were dusty and dirty.
I've done my best to clean them, but I'm not an expert.
If they're interesting, I hope you enjoy them.

I'll pick some good stuff.
Dave Brubeck Quartet EP with lovely artwork.
That has got lovely artwork.
It's a lovely illustration of a saxophone and a drum kit.
Drum kit.
Maybe I'll do a collected. Oh, look, that's in good nick because it's got the push-out centre still kit. Moving on. Drum kit. Maybe I'll do a collected...
Oh, look, that's in good nick

Come on, quickly.
Some of these are great, man.
Thank you very much
for sending them in.
Dave Brubeck, another one.
You should be researching
the next thing.
Well, I can't when you're
just talking non-stop
about fucking artwork
on a vinyl you're not even
interested in listening to.
Jerry Mulligan again.
artwork on a vinyl you're not even interested in listening to.
Jerry Mulligan again.
Oh, Chico Hamilton on drums.
And Chet Baker on trumpet. These could be...
Oh, there's some things I'm not going to...
I'll do that on another episode.
Nice.
Very nice jazz there.
Why are we going to do...
Look at him.
I've got a few stuff ready.
Do you like this?
No, no.
I want to say that for another thing.
I don't know all that for today.
All right.
Lou Companion.
Here is a book called The Lou Companion.
Are You Sitting Comfortably?
By Mark Lee.
Oh, it's just got lots of shit in it.
Nothing in there.
Oh, what's this?
Chocolate Bar From Hell.
Oh, they're all facts about toilets and jokes and stuff.
Oh, it's just something you sit on the toilet and read, I guess. It's one of those.
Read a fact out. Do you want to hear some toilet philosophy,
Paul? Yeah, we've got five minutes. Confucius
says, man who stand on
toilet is high on
pot. High on pot.
Christ.
Jesus.
Jesus wept.
What else is in it? No, what else does Confucius
say, Paul? I don't know.
Man who scratches ass should not bite fingernails.
Right, okay.
This is just the worst.
Can I see a little look?
Open a random page.
Right, this one.
Well-to-do Roman women imported hyena feces from Africa
with which to powder their faces.
And did you know King James I enjoyed hunting so much
that he wouldn't leave the saddle
even to relieve himself.
His servants had a nasty mess
to clean up at the end of the day.
Oh, what an arsehole.
A terrible person.
Imagine that.
The sign of a successful party
in the 18th century
wasn't the number of empties
in the bin the next day,
but the number of broken chamber pots.
The host would hire chamber pots
for a small fee
to accommodate a large number of guests
and many ended up broken over the course of the night due to drunken banter. That's enough.
That's enough of that, Paul.
I believe it.
I can fucking believe it from you in your fucking flat, mate.
Mate, Jesus Christ.
Well...
It's like you're building a planet.
Well, that would be well over five tonnes Jesus Christ. Well. It's like you're building a planet. Well, that would be
well over five tons
or whatever.
Right.
Meet the Grown Ups
card game,
Family Trivia Game.
We've done that
on the podcast.
We've done that before.
Why did you let me
open it then?
We're going to end
with this.
It's mint on card.
Oh, no, we might
not end with this
because it might
be out of date.
We've got to pick
our favourite thing,
remember?
Yeah, we'll do it
in the next little bit.
It's fine.
This is it. No, we've done that. We've left it. It's just shit. It Yeah, we'll do it in the next little bit. It's fine. This is it.
No, we've done that.
We've left it.
It's just shit.
It's just shit, isn't it?
Don't worry.
What's this?
Cards.
We've done them on the Patreon pod.
Kuki Mon.
Yeah, we've done it on Patreon before.
We've done those cards.
We had the Garbage Pail Kids as well.
We haven't done these.
We have.
No, because you know why, Paul?
Because at the time you went,
no, we haven't got time.
We'll do that some other time with this.
No, we've done that.
And that's why this whole box
fucking exists
and now you're doing it
with this box
so
you fucking
just a monster

I want to talk about
these Pokemon cards

Oh, there's some stickers.
What kind of stickers?
Star Wars sticker cards.
Panini.
Oh, Panini.
Merlin, actually, not Panini.
What era?
Is it like Force Awakens? Clone Wars.
Oh, who gives a fuck?
Mate, let's end with this.
There's a toot sweet.
Yeah, you blow it and you suck it.
It's one of those...
Shh.
It's going to be one of those whistles with...
That's not actually...
Don't actually lick the bit.
No, it's probably inside.
It's probably one of those chalk lollipops.
You know, one of those...
It's called a whistle.
Yeah, but I'm sure the candy's inside.
It's a Swiss lose one.
Yeah.
So they...
Do you suck that?
No, that's plastic as well.
Okay.
So it's just a whistle.
It is.
It's like a sherbet.
Yeah, it's a chalky one.
He's going to bite it.
He's biting it into it.
Yeah, it's hard, that, isn't it?
And does it taste of rot?
Sweet rot?
Yeah, Eli's bitten into his...
It's fine.
Yeah.
All right, I'm used by...
Do you want to eat this, then?
Because we've got...
Oh, that's two years out of date.
We've got two minutes...
22.
Yeah, good.
Let's end with this then, mate.
This is called Chocolate Bar From Hell Beyond Hot.
And it's a chocolate bar that's hot.
When did it go out of date?
I don't know.
I'm going to look now, but I can't seem to find a date on it.
I want a Scoville if there's a Scoville reading on it.
It doesn't have a Scoville reading on it either.
Hand it here.
Thank you.
Two minutes left.
Are you going to taste this?
Yes, if it's not white.
You know, if it's white chocolate
or if it's brown chocolate,
that's gone white.
I don't think this looks like
it would even be that hot,
you know?
No, of course it won't.
It'll be shit.
Beyond hot.
Yeah, well, that just...
It depends.
We're used to hot food.
Me and you like hot, spicy stuff.
So this might not be
all that much to us.
I'm opening it up.
He's opening up the chocolate bar from hell.
Oh dear.
You've left it too long, Paul.
Is it gone all grey? We're not eating it then.
Oh, it's really hot.
No, it's gone all white.
Are you going to eat it? No.
A bit of an anti-climax there. We've got a minute and 20 seconds.
Goodbye, everyone. No, we've got a minute and 20 seconds.
Paul, do you want to pick the favourite? Okay, you go first. We've got a minute and 20 seconds to fill. Goodbye, everyone. No, we've got a minute and 20 seconds. Paul. Do you want to pick the favourite?
Okay, you go first. Right, we've got
one minute and 10 seconds. I'm gonna
go with...
Hmm.
I might... Out of all of this,
I think I might go with the...
Hmm.
I don't know.
I don't know. It's all shit.
Oh, fuck's sake, sake Paul the Wombles
that's not what you think
at all
no
you know what
my first instinct
actually genuinely was
it was the
Toons cassette
the cassette full of
cartoon music
I like the idea of that
fine
yeah
catch the pigeon
you know Paul
you were like
we're going to pick everything up
the shit pile
the good pile
and then we'll pick our favourite
and by the end
you're just like
all of this shit
we should do some other
time, fuck it, your heart has gone out.
I think everyone can pick up on that.
Whereas I've enjoyed a glut of
treats. A glut of treats
from our listeners, Paul, and you've been acting
like a spoiled brat.
I've not been a spoiled brat.
You're all fucking...
What's your favourite thing then?
I like those records.
A big stack of records. It's too much, I can I like those records. I mean, I like records.
A big stack of records.
It's too much.
I can't decide.
Well, you've got 14 seconds.
Sriracha.
Eight, seven, six, five.
It's that Chet Baker record.
Right.
The Chet Baker record is the best.
The end of the show.
Bye-bye.
the show.
Bye-bye.
And that's the end of Cheap Show.
My living room's a fucking mess.
No, I thought that was the end.
They're just then.
I wasn't there, was it?
I had to do a bit of admin
so we're going to do the admin now.
Well, you lied
and you haven't said sorry for it.
I'm sorry, dear listener,
for leading you up the garden path
by thinking that
this episode was over
but no, we've got to do some admin
so we're doing some admin now.
You could have started, Paul, this bit by
saying, not really, and then it would have flowed.
You just acted like that hadn't happened.
Oh, not really. You're like some of these
bad films. You're like some of
these bad dreams I have in my head
stalking me in
your little nightie. I don't. Eli and his
nightie stalking me. Have I ever appeared in one of your dreams?
Yes. And I will not be
elaborating further right so eli's
best thing was the chet baker record it wasn't really i couldn't i reckon it was the wumbles
one yeah the best reaction to that okay yeah yeah and i like the cassette one because i like that
kind of shit and it reminded me of my childhood when i had the cd of it so there are favorite
things from the box and my living room's a mess and i've got to take all these pictures and what
the fuck oh what's I just very briefly mention
four tiny Scooby-Doo stickers.
Where do they come from?
They're in the same box
as the Star Wars.
It's Merlin, can I ask as well?
Are they a big competitor
to Panini?
I'm going to presume they were, yes.
Have you ever heard of them?
Never.
Beyond my time,
I was never into that kind of stuff
anyway as a kid.
I like these little stickers
and I'll be having those.
Thank you everyone
for sending stuff.
We do get round to it.
Sometimes Paul's
in a better place.
Not often.
But he wanted,
he made an effort
to get through
all of this stuff
and talk about it.
And we burnt through
a load of it.
Okay, Paul.
So let's make peace.
We can start afresh.
That was all lovely.
