Ladies and gentlemen
I don't want to interrupt you
mid flow
and ruin this
for everyone
I want to make sure
we're all on the same page
are you right?
You can go
Are you going to do it again?
I'm not decided yet
whether I'm going to do it
or not again
Ladies and gentlemen
I was going to do it again
I was definitely going to do it again
I did it again
The rule of three
But I tell you what
I'll put it down
I'll put it down
Rule of three
Ladies and gentlemen I won't be doing, I'll put it down. I'll put it down. Rule of three.
Ladies and gentlemen. I won't be doing it.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to London's fragrant Camden Town.
It's me, Eli Silverman.
I'm here and I'm hosting Cheap Show.
And here are my co-hosts, dead behind the eyes, Paul Gannon and the wonderful Ash Frith!
Yes.
People. People.
I know, it's crazy.
Hello, welcome to Cheap Show.
The comedy show about all things cheap.
The Cheap Show.
It's exactly what it says on the title of the show.
Cheap Show.
So yeah, it's an economy comedy podcast where we three go through the charity booths.
Charity booths.
I've already fucked up.
Charity booths.
That's fine.
We go through the charity shops and secondhand shops and the pound lands,
and we bring our treasure here.
You to enjoy, in brackets, parentheses, probably not enjoy.
Just checking.
Booth sales, do they count?
Yes.
Flea markets?
Flea markets.
Jumbo sales.
Jumbo sales we've not even touched.
It is kind of bizarre
we've not done jumble sales.
can they count?
Do you remember a bazaar
when you were a kid?
You had a bazaar?
No,
what was the difference
between a fate and a bazaar?
There was a fate.
Revels.
Revels.
Do you remember revels?
Revels were those sweets
which you had the,
got the coffee one
and that was the one
you didn't like
and no one liked.
No one liked it.
Bazaars, Fates Jumble Sales
Flea Markets
Yeah.
And what else was there?
Frith Stores.
Frith Stores.
I think we can draw a line
under the types of things
you can go into
to buy second hand stuff.
Yeah.
99 P Stores.
And those.
Can I just say something?
Yes.
Can I just say something here?
Paul is on painkillers
and that's why he's
Yeah, I am on painkillers.
I do need to express that.
I am on Cocodamol for a collection of pains in my teeth and back.
Comedy gold.
I think we'll all agree.
So what's coming up on the show, Paul?
Well, tonight on the show, we have our special guest, Rob Depp.
Rob Depp.
Not as enthusiastic the second time around, Rob.
Shame.
Didn't cheer the second time.
No, not even Rob did.
Oh, well, we'll play that game later.
We've got our special guest Rob joining in on the fun and games.
We have The Price of Shite, which is a game.
I should, again, point that out.
We also have our Cheap Eats section.
Can I tell you what the cheap eats is about tonight?
What is the cheap eats about tonight? Sour candies.
Oh.
So we're going to try and test some of the
sourest candies I could get my hand
on. And I'll give you a little spoiler. Spoiler warning.
I found probably the most sour thing
I've ever put in my mouth in this collection.
Really? And I couldn't keep it in.
You had to eject it. I had to
forcibly eject it from my mouth. And the thing is, you won't see where this is coming from. You just won't see it in. You had to eject it. I had to forcibly eject it from my mouth
and the thing is
you won't see
where this is coming from.
You just won't see it.
Have you got enough
for everyone?
I have enough
for a lot of people
because in the audience
it's about eight.
I think I can stretch
my whole candy collection.
Oh, I dread this.
Yeah, so
and I've checked
not a single one
has cow bones in it.
So they're all vegetarian.
You can eat them all.
Ah!
Ash doesn't get off lightly.
So we could all be playing a spit into Paul's bag competition later on in the night.
So I am, I guess, the ringleader of this operation.
My name is Paul Gannon.
Hello.
And with me as always is...
I've already done this.
Yeah, but this is the formal part of the show.
We talk to the audience directly and not ostracise them with really bad gags about their culture,
which is a bad way to start a comedy show.
Am I right?
Yeah, see, they agree.
They win them back.
Hopefully.
All right, so do that thing where you point at me
and I say my name again.
Ladies and gentlemen, with me as always
is my special guest, Eli Silverman.
What?
I'm not a special guest.
I co-host the fucking show
you're losing your mind paul sees you as just someone who comes along
tolerated welcome to the paul gannon show with uh this is really happening though right this is a
real show that i'm in on stage right now you really are this is a therapy or an intervention
please tell me it's an intervention.
I'd like it to be an intervention.
All right, okay.
So, ladies and gentlemen.
Stop doing live comedy.
Point taken.
Right, so, ladies and gentlemen,
tonight, as always, with me is my special guest co-host,
Eli Silverman.
Yeah, hi.
Hi, everybody.
Eli,
tell the people in the audience a little bit about you.
Why are we doing this? We didn't plan this.
Likes and hobbies.
It's an unscripted, semi-scripted comedy show.
This is the time for you to connect with the audience.
Hi, guys.
I'm a performer and DJ.
And yeah, that's about it, really.
Wait, wait.
I've got this bit coming up, which I was hoping to sort of get into.
That's what I'm segwaying into now.
Because I was going to say, but you're also a DJ, aren't you?
After listing the many things you do.
That's right.
Like, I don't know.
You're so close, you guys.
I was so close to having a fact for Eli.
So go on.
So tell us about your experiences as a DJ.
Well, we used to do a part of the show,
which I like to call Tales from the Dance Floor.
Tales from the Dance Floor.
So I've got a couple this week.
I DJ across the road there in the Blues Kitchen twice a month.
And a great place it is too.
Sponsored by a Cocoda Mall and the Blues Kitchen.
I was playing there the other night.
It was Saturday and it got quite late.
Yeah.
It was about five minutes to three o'clock.
Right.
Exactly.
So the DJ Boop is on the stage back from the dance floor.
And I kind of could see someone gesturing towards me from the dance floor
and it turned to be this young lady who was making the cutthroat sign really like that
across the neck basically yeah so i thought what a fucking bitch uh so i well you know i didn't say
that to her obviously because i'm but it's okay to think it uh so i thought oh god she's obviously
it's the music.
She's, you know, she doesn't like the music, right?
So I go up to her, I go, have you got a request?
Have you got a request?
Which is a bit aggressive, I know, but it got worse.
And then she said, oh, can we please have some 1950s sort of music, please?
And I said, were you here like 10 minutes ago when I'd finished playing 1950s music for about an hour
and a half? Were you there? Were you here then?
Were you? You can leave.
You can leave. And there was this guy who was
obviously trying to chat her up and he went, Sailor V
by...
Bewitched. No, what they call...
Bewitched. No.
Who's that really famous
Guitarist
Bewitched
No who likes watching
Women take craps
Chuck Berry
Chuck Berry
He goes
You can't just say
The guy who likes
Taking shits
I've never heard that
You've never heard that
Sorry do you know
The story of Chuck Berry
And the lady shits
Would you like to hear
The story of
Marvin Berry's cousin
Basically
He owned some
Establishments
I'm going to have to Edit this out though right I just know I'm going to Have to edit this bit out Aren't I I don't know how legal to hear the story of Chuck Berry and the Lady's cousin. Basically, he owned some establishments and got prosecuted.
I'm going to have to edit this out though, right?
I just know I'm going to have to
edit this bit out, aren't I?
I don't know how legal this is.
He's dead.
He's not dead.
He's not dead.
What?
He was found guilty of tax evasion.
We're skipping the best part
to the story.
I want to hear the story about...
So,
Buddy...
Buddy Holly.
Chuck Berry.
Yeah, Chuck Berry,
you know, the inventor of rock and roll
or what have you, he likes
scat.
We know what scat is?
It's a dance move.
He likes shit.
He likes poo-poo, lady poo-poo.
He owned an establishment.
As you do, you invest your money.
He was the successful musician
and he got done, he got prosecuted
for basically installing cameras
in the loo.
Apparently, he
literally, during the 80s
he had some guy in a truck
delivering VHS's of women
shitting and pissing, like
weekly. He's like, here it is
here's your shit videos.
And that's illegal, you say.
So,
this guy's standing next to this girl
and he goes,
oh, what about Sailor V
by Chuck Berry?
Which is that one
out of Pulp Fiction.
Oh God,
I hate that song so much.
And anyway,
so I go,
no, no, no.
And that's the end of that Tales from the Dark.
Strong, eh?
Good, it's a strong opening.
There's another one.
Oh, I'm sure you are spoiling us.
So I'm in the blues kitchen, again, DJing.
I see this attractive young lady.
She's walking towards the DJ booth.
Oh, maybe I'll have some human contact.
It's a conversation.
She'll have a request. I'll be able to provide it. Perhaps, maybe I'll have some human contact. It's a conversation. She'll have a request.
I'll be able to provide it.
Perhaps, you know, romance will bloom.
No, she just gets her fucking smartphone out
and just walks towards me, thrusting it in my face.
It's got the request on it.
There's not even eye contact,
not even a smidgen of conversation.
Not like, oh, I've got them written here.
Here's my request.
Just look at device.
Look at device.
Do you know what I mean? Fucking hell.
Do you know what they're for, telephones? They're for communicating
with people when they're not in the room
with you. You know what I mean?
What's gone wrong with this generation?
You've got a point.
I've got to, you know,
fucking hell. So I was like, just get that shit out of my face.
Do you have a request?
Anyway, those were my tales from the dance floor.
Hey!
I wondered why we cut that out of the show in previous episodes.
Now I remember.
I think that was strong.
I mean, I've learned something.
I think that was strong.
Any feature where you learn something.
I think of some more.
I almost got beaten up by the bartender last night.
I wonder why.
I wonder why that was.
Did he ask for St. Lave by John Ferry?
That wasn't strictly
a tale from the dance floor
because I was just
buying a drink.
It could be a kind of
spin-off series.
Tales from the bar.
People that Eli
has called a bitch.
On the dance floor.
Yeah, he really,
he really,
he came out from
behind the bar
to give me some aggravation.
He was a barman.
Yeah.
What time was this?
What time did it happen?
It was last night, about one in the morning.
Oh, it wasn't after the night had finished and you were just going around.
No, no, no, it was closed.
With your straw and the drip tray.
I do paint you horribly.
I'm sorry.
It's true, though.
Yeah, I'm a tramp.
I'm also an alcoholic.
I forgot to mention that.
Good.
So.
Doesn't mind as much comedy, that throwaway line, does it?
No.
Let's.
We haven't introduced Ash properly.
Ladies and gentlemen, our third member, Ash Frith.
Hello.
Hi.
Ash, maybe they would want to know something a little bit about you that they might not want to know.
I.
I.
What do I do?
I tell jokes. That's what I do. I'm not going to do it do? I, um, I tell jokes.
That's what I do.
I'm not going to do it now.
You're going to sit on it.
I'm a standup comedian, believe it or not.
And, uh, I was born in Basildon.
Ooh.
That's it.
That's all you need to know.
These people from halfway around the world, no idea.
Now, I don't think we need to get a jingle for that section of the show.
Ash is from Basildon.
Well, all right, you've sold me.
I'll give you that.
That was a win.
No, yeah, no, I've...
Nothing has occurred to me this week.
I was doing a gig on Wednesday
and my voice did that thing.
You know, sometimes when you're talking
and then it makes you sound like you're a robot
when there's a bit of, like, fluid.
A bit of blemish.
Oh, I hate that.
And so I was talking and it just went,
oh, and then I do. And I don't know why that and so i was talking oh and then i do and i don't
know why that happened that was the best thing that happened to me this week in front of 200
people i was going well how does that anecdote finish i was just wondering um what the worst
situation that your robot voice thing could happen in because i was imagining your happiest day like your wedding for happiest day for some i do yeah i really love you deborah yeah or you know you're a doctor that one where you're sitting
there it's like i'm afraid it's bad news it's malignant oh god no who'd have thought it on
stage the worst place for that kind of thing so did you did you make light of it i made light of
it i did basically that work got, believe it or not,
it got laughs.
Yeah, the craft of comedy.
The craft of just...
Someone then
come up to me afterwards,
this is true,
and said,
I really like that new bit
that you did
about the robot voice thing.
I was like,
that just happened.
She didn't enjoy
the rest of the show.
You should do the whole
of your set always
in the robot voice.
You should be known as
Ash Robot Voice Frith.
That'll be my big bit.
That'll be your thing. Bobby Dove Row, Ross Abb known as Ash Robot Voice Frith. That'll be my big bit. That'll be your thing.
Bobby Davro,
Russ Abbott,
Ash Robot Voice Frith.
So on that note,
Ash is from Basildon.
Ash is from Basildon.
A round of applause
for Ash Frith, everybody.
So every episode
we invite a guest along
to unfortunately endure
the rest of the show
on stage
rather than in the sanctity of the audience.
And this week our guest tonight is a guy I've performed with many a time on many geek-based projects.
He is the dark overload of comic knowledge and he is a laughmeister of the highest, the highest caliber.
I want you...
That's the...
I'm working it.
I'm working it for you rob
ladies and gentlemen please go all crazy with all the applause you can muster using both your hands
for the comedy might of rob deb
just take a seat sir hello hello hello
right so rob deb welcome to the show hello delight to be here and the master has rested
ladies and gentlemen so uh yeah so um thanks for coming on the show we like to start with an
informal interview we ask the question yeah of you and um here's the question i've got for you
rob so with marvel coming out all the avengers movies and all the multitude of superhero films
coming out in dc obviously doing their Words of the Colour
Batman vs Superman film.
The question I wanted to ask you out of all this kind of
superhero lore is what would you rather
lose, your tongue or your penis?
All. Now think
about it carefully. Your tongue
which brings pleasure to
millions and your
penis.
I'm gonna yeah but you see the thing the thing about the penis is very
much like my comedy career i'm hanging on to it for its potential um that's that's that i mentioned
i'm old comedian of the year semi-finalist so uh how old is old i mean old comedian of the year
you have to be over 35 have been doing stand-up comedy
for more than five years,
and not have it be your income.
That's fine.
You have to have been
unemployed for five years
in stand-up comedy
and over 35.
And, yeah.
So I'm a semi-finalist.
Welcome to the glamorous world
of stand-up comedy.
Behind the curtain.
Grim.
Behind the curtain
is a hard way
to get back to my penis yeah so what
you're going to keep your penis or your tongue i'd keep my tongue oh why my tongue he keeps his
tongue i keep my tongue because i'm not one for blogging you blog with your penis no it's just
the fact that like for me in in a more serious point is is the point of being heard the point of having a voice is all it's
all up here it's all out here right where where is that well you know i'm uh i'm 39 uh in a couple
of weeks um at my birthday drinks uh blue post 24th of may you're you're all invited do we keep
that in the podcast yeah i'm lonely so um uh yeah no no no no penis would go penis would go oh that's it done now
sorry it's just so just out of interest then sir just because you're nearest what would you rather
lose sir your penis or your tongue oh god he sounded pained when i said that too no i think
he's holding on to both at the same time that's why there's no timing on this it's not happening
tonight i know he seems creepy he's not actually actually going to do something. This isn't Saw.
It is the finale of this show, though.
So you have to make it.
What would you lose?
Oh, the tongue.
Who's going to say tongue?
The lady's present.
Unfortunately, the correct answer is penis.
That's what the lady's answer would have been.
Eli, your next question for rob deb
thank you paul okay um rob um so you know a lot about superheroes yep yep well i discovered
the other day i can levitate okay a bit is this darren blaine wizard monkey no no it's actual
real levitating yeah i'm not gonna do going to do it now, obviously. All right.
This is so fucking silly.
So my question is... I can do it in America.
Do you think it's only...
It's very low levitation.
It's like...
It's maybe two centimetres.
Okay.
And then I have to come down to move.
So it's sort of just a vertical...
So enough to make shelves not awkward, basically.
Yeah, basically.
I can like... If i need to blue tack
a postcard up yeah uh and it's a bit too low you can get that so do you think i could go into
superheroing yeah you could you could but what would be but what would be my name crack man no
no i'm not talking to you paul no no no fucking interview go right because the the problem there is not going
to be with your powers it's with the esteem that you've brought to it is because batman iron man
they don't have any superpowers right yeah i'm just watching the room to see like a couple of
people nodding to get where i'm going with this right yeah so it's not about the fact that you
can levitate two inches it It's about the question of
do you want to be a superhero?
Do you have that level of sacrifice in you?
So you're saying I'm better than Batman?
I'm more super?
I'm saying that you've got a power.
How super it is is how you use it.
Well, I could position myself
underneath criminals,
levitate a bit,
get them in the nose
with the crown of my hand.
So the idea is what?
They kick you
and they punch you to the ground.
And as their Victorian stamp-like sort of Game of Thrones style are standing above you
because they've beaten you to the ground, you lift two inches and trip them over.
I'll lull them into a false sense of looming security.
Okay.
Looming security.
Looming security.
I think that should be your superhero name.
Looming security.
Yes.
And what color is my cape um oh well
it's purple i was gonna say purple actually i was actually gonna say purple
did you notice the lack of applause for that yeah notice the lack lack of applause for that
okay one guy one guy who loves your best mate from like years gone by doing that thank god i'm never going to knock that because I haven't bought a best mate
well I did have a best mate with me and he went I'm not going to the podcast
so yeah
clever bastard
he knows too much
Ash is doing the last question
I stayed with Rob when we were in Edinburgh
a couple of years ago with another comedian
called Richard Sandling
he's brilliant he is a big man We were in Edinburgh a couple of years ago with another comedian called Richard Sandling. TV's Richard Sandling. TV's Richard Sandling.
He's brilliant.
He is a big man.
He is about six foot four, I reckon.
And he's a big, big man, isn't he?
Yeah.
And we stayed there for a while.
And then on the last day, so I slept on the floor because he pulled rank on me.
And then Richard slept across a two-seater um sofa and for the whole time that
we were there and then on the last day uh richard sort of got off the sofa and a cushion fell off
and i realized it was a sofa bed the entire time yeah and you i didn't know oh i i i didn't know
it was a sofa bed you know that was like the seedy goonies when they found the secret door to the end of the time that we'd
been there because i yeah that because the thing i i may remember because that was the first time
i'd ever met you ash and you'd come over rich and it was like i i can be very precious uh
with flats anyway so when i first met you i gave rich Richard a set of keys to the flat and but what Ash didn't know
was that I had another set of keys to the flat that I refused to hand over immediately or even
admit to because I had to decide whether or not he was a cunt
at the end of that evening I was like well done you've passed test. And he went, oh, there was an actual test here.
Because there's that thing of like, you know your mates,
but you don't necessarily know your mates, mate.
And you passed with flying colours.
You turned up very promptly.
You were very nice.
You even came and saw my show.
And I thought, this is a man who will not shit in my fridge.
That was made very clear from the start.
I was not to shit anywhere but in the toilet i don't
even think i shit in the toilet i'll be honest with you well there we go all you have to do is
have that happen once and you're giving fucking keys to no one that's fair that is fair right so
that's the interview section of the show so we are a show that investigates and brings back
our treasure from charity shops and thrift stores 99p shops so we do a section of a show that investigates and brings back our treasure from charity shops and thrift stores
and 99p shops.
So we do a section of the show that Eli likes to call...
It's the fucking price of shite.
It's the fucking price of shite.
It's the fucking price of shite.
Oh, it's the fucking price of shite.
And that's right.
It's the price of shite, everybody.
Yes.
It's our fantastic game for us all to play.
I've got some fantastic shites in this bag.
That is a proper shite bag as well.
You can't be.
I just want to explain this to the podcast.
For those of you who aren't cheap honoursers like ourselves,
there is something about the slightly overstretched, non-branded
blue plastic bag
that has
that sort of thing of like, there's an almost
level of it like, will this make it
home? I don't know. It adds
that urgency. Will this carry?
Of all the cheap plastic bags you could have, you
sir, have exceeded.
Yes, yes you have. It's all part of the aesthetic of our show.
So explain the rules to the ladies and gentlemen.
The rules are, I will produce three items
of cheap shite,
and
our guests and
the hosts will all have to guess
the price of the
shite, hence the name of
the segment. Which is?
The price of shite. Thank you.
Getting it all clear. Then the person
who is closest on
each item will get a point.
The person who has the most points
at the end is the
winner of the Price is Shite.
Does that mean they don't have to eat the sour
food? No, the sour food is totally
eatable. The sour food is still a thing that's going to happen.
Okay, so should we, without further ado,
let's move on to the first piece of shite.
So where did you buy all this shite?
It was various different
stores, charity shops and so forth.
Well, one item is from a charity shop.
Which charity shop do we get to know?
Because that affects a lot of pricing.
It was from RMVF.
The Royal Marine Force
of Vultures.
That is Raise My Voice Foundation.
Oh.
I think they're just one of these places who are basically funding ISIS.
Do they?
Right.
No, because there's three levels.
There's three levels in there.
There's Oxfam, which is always more expensive than it should be.
Yeah, it's bullshit.
You have, you know, the one that we actually raised money for.
Cancer donation.
Cancer donation.
British Heart Foundation.
Sort of mid-level, the M&S of charity shops.
And then you have the ones which seem to be like raising money for dogs with Alzheimer's
and look like a pop-up sort of Kickstarter funded like crock of shite.
This charity shop is the only charity shop where I've actually seen the owner or whatever shopkeeper
haggle on the price
of stuff. And it's like, surely that's...
Who is this for?
I do want to ask the audience.
Who thinks it's okay to haggle
in a charity shop?
No.
Because I've seen people
myself, I'll just put it back. I'll just put the fucking thing back. Unless it. No. No. Because I've seen people, I myself,
I'll just put it back.
I'll just put the fucking thing back.
Yeah.
Unless it's Oxfam.
But, you know. It's under the shirt
and out the door.
Yeah, we've all done it.
What annoys me about Oxfam,
Yeah.
not their work,
which is good, obviously,
but the charity shops,
you go in there
and the vinyl,
the records,
wildly overpriced.
Oh. I know why that is, i saw i saw in terrible condition a copy of sergeant pepper's lonely hearts got banned
for a hundred quid it was a hundred quid was it signed by paul mccartney himself it was a
tatty old fucking copy that's one of the biggest selling albums of all time i i bought though on
the opposite end of
that they had a set of annuals random annuals three for five pounds sort of in so that's sort
of a reasonable deal it was um charlie who runs the philosophy club's birthday was coming okay
um and out of one of these three books was uh gary glitter annual oh right you know who gary
glitter is do we need to explain that all right right, Gary Glitter, he was a pop musician.
He wrote, come on, come on, come on.
Anyway, he's a kiddie fiddler.
Do you want to be in my gang?
That's what it comes down to, unfortunately.
So I saw it.
And of course, the thing is, it's like, you know,
and again, I'd emphasize because Charlie,
if he hasn't done this show, I'm sure we'll do it soon,
does a great philosophy show, is a comedian.
We already understand there's a certain elasticity
as I could hand that to him and go, that's funny.
And he'll go, yeah, it is.
But I still had to fucking queue with a Gary Glitter annual
in order to purchase this.
And I thought, and you know what?
They're callous.
I know they're callous because they didn't even blink.
They didn't even blink when they sold it to me
and I was thinking,
you know what?
On one way, that's right,
but I feel you really should.
You really should be judging me right now.
Why am I not being judged
on buying this Gary Glitter item?
They probably see it every day.
They probably get the glitter completists
in all the time, you know.
Looking for the glitter band.
Can we move on with the game
before we start defending
Gary Glitter's pop career?
The first piece of shite.
Toilet seat covers.
Whoa.
Brand new.
I hope so.
There's a lot of pubs.
No, no, no.
There's a lot of pubs
where I really could have done with those.
Toilet seat covers.
There's ten of them.
The company's called Yo-Yo.
That's gross.
I don't want a toilet seat cover.
You're not going to take it back, are you?
No, well.
So, this is like
if you get caught out and you have to do an emergency shit in a terrible pub.
Or if you're a lady.
Yeah.
Yeah, see.
Some people are finding use.
I'll confess that I had a bad experience when I was a teenager, so I always go out with a pack of tissues, not necessarily for my nose.
Right.
So more than I wanted to know ever.
So how much? Ten. for my nose. Right. So, more than I wanted to know ever. So,
how much?
There's 10,
10,
10 of these in here.
They've got,
it's in French,
English,
German,
and Spanish
on the back.
Good.
There's a 12 month
guarantee.
So,
if I use these
next year,
let's say,
and it,
it breaks and I get some germs on my bum.
Happens more often than you think.
Do you know what I mean?
It's not exactly the bum is designed.
It's not going to get infected unless you've got weeping sores.
Anyway.
Tell me price this, please.
Let's have some prices.
Ash, you're first.
What would you say?
What would you say?
75p.
75p.
Is that based on anything?
No, no.
That's the value I put to those.
Thank you.
Rob is thinking.
Can I see?
Rob is thinking.
Don't do that thing with no one.
I'm just trying to figure out
the material.
They are just tissue, aren't they yeah but shaped yeah you've got the manufacturing
process 10 covers i could just you know that's still you know soft soft soft pound pound from
rob deb and paul oh i'm gonna go with 99p i'm going to offset it by a penny So remember your prices
Does anyone in the audience want to hazard a guess?
You madam, how much do you think
the yo-yo toilet seat covers are?
50 pence
Ask her in two hours, they'll be fucking priceless
50 pence
Even if you're in Glastonbury
you've given up by that point
Yeah you would
One in all in The next piece of shite even if you're in Glastonbury, you know, no one's going to, you've given up by that point. Yeah, you would. Haven't you?
Okay,
so.
One in,
all in.
All right. The next,
to the next piece of shite.
Oh,
wow.
What is this?
Oh,
what is this?
Let's have a look.
Yes,
it's a pepper-shaped receptacle.
He's opening it with his,
oh,
oh,
it opens up,
it's like a,
it opens up.
It's a pepper keeper.
We all needed a pepper keeper.
It's a pepper keeper. It's a pepper keeper.
It's a pepper keeper.
You know, you really want to eat some pepper at work.
Right.
Right?
I need it whole, and it's just terrible getting my pepper bruised on the way in, on the commute.
So, what better than this pepper-shaped, pepper-holding thing?
I've always...
Oh, God, I hate slicing peppers.
I just like to...
Straight in.
I often think...
It's like one of those bloody banana-carrying cases,
which is a case on the sheet of banana for your banana.
Yeah, but a banana, Paul, a banana...
Are you going to school me now?
...is a kind of thing you would put in your bag for lunch. You know i mean but not in a banana green pepper what kind of you do buy banana cases
yeah and it's not no what a weirdo what kind of weirdo no no no no no no that that is part of a
set that is part of that set and it's like no one uses the fucking pepper keeper let's dump it in
the charity shop you know when you buy like toys and there's like everyone wants he like, no one uses the fucking pepper keeper. Let's dump it in the charity shop. You know when you buy toys and it's like,
everyone wants He-Man, no one wants fucking Minotaur or whatever.
No one wants Man-At-Arms, right?
And then on Boxing Day, there's loads of fucking Man-At-Arms.
That is the Man-At-Arms of fruit covering protection.
However, if I want to make a pepper-shaped jelly,
there you go.
There you go.
Jelly mould.
Pepper jelly mould.
That's proper
lateral thinking
that I wouldn't trust
the general public with,
though.
So,
oh,
no,
because I can see that
and that is,
what you've done is
you've properly
MacGyvered this.
Yeah.
Right?
And then you go,
you've got the puppet.
Come on,
token puppet joke,
you know.
50p.
I didn't know there was
a token puppet joke.
Oh,
there's always a token.
If it's got a lid,
it's a fucking puppet.
Right, right.
Is that how Jim Henson created the vampire?
I didn't get to be old comedian of the year semi-finalist
if I did not know about a token fucking puppet gag.
Hey, everybody, I'm Pepper Pete.
I'm Pepper...
You're milking this on a podcast
where no one's going to see the fucking thing.
I'm making a puppet voice
with a funny voice in the mouth.
Don't do this again.
Why don't you like me?
So that's our second item.
It was alright when I did it.
It is quite a bizarre item.
What if you've got a red pepper?
You're fucked.
Right.
I once had a pizza.
That's a great story. Shut up. I once had a pizza. That's a great story, Eli.
Shut up.
I'm pausing.
I'm pausing.
Not when you tell that story, Eli, but when you had the pizza.
I'm pausing pause.
It's my favourite story in the world.
It's nuance.
It's nuance.
Are you going to jump in every time I fucking pause?
It's very likely.
Yeah.
See, I stopped speaking for a fucking nanosecond.
You're in there with your drug-addled mumblings.
Right.
Please don't do a fake walkout.
It's going.
I'm not doing it.
Okay, so that's my second item.
I once had a pizza and for some reason
the only topping...
Is the story going?
It's going somewhere.
That was a common awful stop.
I want to hear the story.
I had a pizza and for some reason
the only topping was green peppers.
I'm so glad we went with that story.
I like that story.
That's a proper paint shop
that only sells blue.
Yeah, it was disgusting.
It's really put me off green peppers.
Oh my God.
Okay, so let's get some prices.
I hate you so much.
Ash, firstly, what is your guess?
So much.
Well, I think it's gone up in value, not because it's made in China,
but because it can be frozen, dishwashed.
Oh.
Whatever two circles next to each other is, it can do that.
Eight.
Eight.
Yeah.
I reckon that.
I'm going £1.50 with that.
Whoa, that's a decadent pepper holder, though.
Do you think that?
I think that's decadent.
I'm 50p.
50p from Rob Deb?
50p.
I am going to say
70p.
70p.
70p.
Are you just playing
the middle game every time?
Yeah.
Who cares?
£1.50 from the guy
at the gentleman in the back.
All right, good, good, good, good, good.
They're not actually for sale.
No.
It's just for you
to put his hand up like that. No, Rob, Rob, good, good, good. They're not actually for sale. No. I don't know.
He put his hand up like, yeah.
No, Rob, Rob, don't speak too soon.
Maybe we could...
All right.
£1.50, you say.
Talk to me after the show, yeah?
So, are we ready for our last item?
Yes.
The price of shite.
Yeah.
Now, this is a real doozy,
especially if someone lives in a built-up area.
This is London.
We all live in a built-up area. This is London. We all live in a built-up area.
This is River Rocks.
Oh.
You don't have to shout deep into it when you say River Rocks.
River Rocks.
Oh.
It's a bag of rocks.
Great.
There's all different sizes in there.
And on the back it says...
Have you been to the beach this week?
Is this where everything came from?
Did it wash in?
This is packaged.
This is for the
if you're on the go
and just don't have the time
to pick up rocks yourself.
I know exactly who it's marketed at
and what it's for.
It says at the back
its use as adornment.
For example,
use of fish tank.
Yeah.
Flower pot and so on
and so on
that's your river rocks
it's the cellar
the world of imagination
it's fish tank stuff
right
it's fish tank stuff
but you know
you could save yourself
an unspecified amount of money
by just going outside
and picking some rocks up
you can't
no
can I just double the value
of the green pepper
no oh look what he's done if it closes if it closes You can't. No. Can I just double the value of the green pepper?
No.
Oh, look what he's done. If it closes, if it closes.
Don't devalue it by breaking it.
Oh.
Priceless.
Ash puts a thing in a thing.
Well, he is a dad.
So shall I give...
Yeah, I did do that.
I'm saying these are...
They are...
Again, I'm going to go a pound for those.
A pound.
Okay.
All right.
A pound from Ash.
And Rob.
Two pounds.
Two pounds.
Two pounds at least.
I am going to say, Mr. Silverman, as you may be surprised to learn, I'm going to go one
pound fifty.
One fifty.
He's playing the middle ground.
A whole fucking thing.
Like an absolute pussy.
Okay.
I choose £1.51.
No, you can't change it now.
Everyone remembers that.
This is the moment of truth, everyone.
This is the fun part.
So, what did you say for this?
I think 75p, did I?
No, I said 75p.
You said 50p.
You fuck.
I said 79.
No.
You said, just remember.
50p.
You had one thing to do.
Remember the fucking price.
75.
Oh, he did.
What did I say then?
You said 99p.
Oh, okay.
You said 75.
You said.
I said a pound.
And you said 99p.
Yeah.
The price of the toilet seat covers is one pound.
Point to Rob.
Yes!
In the room!
I know my shit.
Yes.
Moving on to the pepper holder thing.
What did our contestants say?
150.
No, you didn't say 150.
Yes, you did.
Okay, you did.
All right.
You're fucking wrong.
So, and what did you say?
I said 50p. You said 50p. And right. You're fucking wrong. So what did you say? I said 50p.
You said 50p?
And I said 75 on that one.
The price of the pepper holding instrument was 50p.
Yes!
Rob, he's dead on the nose twice.
I've never seen anything like this tonight.
I do so much cheap shopping.
It's unbelievable.
Last but not least, the handy river rocks.
They can be used as adornment.
And so on.
Fish tank, flower pot, and so on.
Yeah, thanks.
It's very barky tonight.
Bring it home, baby.
So, what did you say?
One pound.
One pound. Two pounds.
I said one pound
fifty. The price of the River Rocks was
one pound. Yes! Oh, Ash!
He pulls a point back,
but our winner of the Price is Shite,
that's right, tonight, Rob
Debb.
I'm the king of the north!
And you didn't
win one single point
with your fucking meandering in between shit.
So how much was this again,
one quid?
50p.
50p?
Still 150.
150 to you, sir.
It's still 150 if you want it.
It's 150 if you want it.
No, it's not for free.
You've got to work for it.
Right.
So what?
Good.
That's good. You should keep doing that. That's my new catchphrase. If you don't like it. Yeah, it. Right. So what? Good. That's good.
You should keep doing that.
That's my new catchphrase.
If you don't like it,
it's good.
You've got to work for it.
So what?
It makes me feel uncomfortable.
So what's coming up next, Paul?
Well, next we hand over to Ash
as he delivers
some of his top tips.
Ash.
Well, I thought I'd have a look
at some ways of saving money
in your life.
So I think this is universal.
I think anyone in the world can stick by these.
So I went on numerous websites and just made a note of top ideas,
and I wanted to get your feedback on it, really.
And number 10 is top 10 saving tips is separate the ply of your loo roll.
What?
Okay, so you mean the front and back, the two bits of paper. So you get double the loo roll. What? Okay, so you need the front and back,
the two bits of paper.
So you get double the loo roll.
I thought it was a sex act.
No, no, no, no, no.
It's like, darling, I want a double part.
You know when they sell kitchen rolls
and it's like three ply, four ply, extra absorbent.
You may save money on toilet paper,
but you spend more money on soap
because you have shitty, shitty fingers.
You'll have very shitty fingers.
It's thinning the bleach with water.
Highbrow.
You're going to end up...
Highbrow comedy.
Or, like, you've only got so much shampoo left,
so you fill it with hot water to try and get more shampoo out of it.
You're still going to end up...
I thought you were going to make a homemade douche
by putting some warm water in with the left over shampoo.
No, no, no.
Shake it off.
Sit on said bottle.
And then squeezy squeezy.
No.
It's more fun if you use those characters.
The no has spoken.
I'd like to finish.
No, no.
Edit point.
Edit point.
I'm going to filibuster this motherfucker if I don't.
No, just stick it up your arse.
That's the end of it.
That's it.
Right.
And an insult.
And it's the end of it.
The next thing.
Who's got pets in here?
Yeah, I have. the end of it. The next thing, who's got pets in here? I have.
Just you two people.
This is genuinely number nine on the top ten ways to save money.
Make your own pet food.
How?
How?
How?
It doesn't say.
It just says make your own pet food.
Did you not scroll?
No, no, there was no scrolling.
So wait, I don't want to give my cat a pouch of 75p meat
so I'll go out
buy fresh meat
for about £3.99
from somewhere like Waitrose
maybe some onions
fill it with some river rocks
maybe some gravy
and mix it all together
I'm going to get two meals
out of that
and I've paid £7
that list my friend
is bollocks
well wait a minute
because I haven't got
to the good stuff yet
no Paul
what you'd need to do right
is you go behind the butchers
sniff around
and just get offal yeah get a bag of awful
yeah chuck it in your cat's bowl yeah we're talking about scraps aren't we uh this is um
number eight on the best ways to save money don't eat on a monday that's middle class that's just a
five two diet or something there is jet so you might be right this there's a book called uh what the one day fast right yeah
and it is just literally the day take monday off right from from eating entirely and um i um it's
put here um it's got uh fast fasting is the ultimate way to lose weight yes definitely
um these are two uh i clicked on the Amazon reviews for this book.
The first one is, I'm in this book, it works.
Does he mean he was that thin? He was a bookmall?
I'd argue, though, that if you're going to choose the day of the week,
because of the way butchers and deliveries and stuff are done these days,
Monday's probably not the day you want to take.
Not according to monday fasting yeah um and uh someone else's uh someone else's quote was um fasting are you kidding me
that's all they put on amazon they bought the book which is called the one day fast
and their review of that book was fasting are you kidding me they thought it was about getting
through the day quickly. Number seven.
Now, can I add something?
I just want to jump in.
Shut up.
On that theme, you know, fasting one day a week.
My dad, who is middle class, has to be said,
he's now vegan before six.
Vegan before six. Vegan before six. So he's he's uh now vegan before six vegan before six vegan before six all right so he's
vegan until six and then he has a burger i don't know i'm sorry is he a gremlin is your dad a
gremlin no no there is there is he's doing that more as a as a health reason then rather than as
some sort of ethical you know eggs have salt sort of thing i mean my dad's pretty much my well i don't know how my dad's in his 70s now and he's basically he
is now just veg except for fish on sundays but it is more of a health thing that i've just realized
that um vegan before six if you say it in an australian accent yeah they all think you're
saying vegan before six six six that Six. That's New Zealand.
That's New Zealand.
They say fush.
Fush.
I've got some lovely fresh fush.
Fresh fush.
I'm terribly soft.
I happen to be from New Zealand.
I'm very softly spoken.
I don't know why. The Canadians of the Australians.
Aren't they?
It's a pleasure to be here.
Right, what's your next one?
It's my New Zealand accent.
It's not too bad, actually.
The guy who runs Levi,
the jean manufacturer,
genuinely says
you never need
to wash your Levi's.
I beg to differ.
Mr. Levi says that.
Don't wash your Levi's.
Because what,
they wash themselves?
They're basically
self-cleaning,
you can't pick it off.
It's a lifestyle
sort of choice that he's advocating.
My genes are 50% yoghurt.
Yeah.
Ash,
I'm going to be very
frank here. There's two things and I hope
it doesn't seem too personal but there's two things that
we have against us in this. One
is we're men of heft
and two is we're men of a certain age
who worry about having a fall.
We don't trip, we have a fall.
These are the two things that Levi
doesn't give a shit about. You're worried about getting food
on Levi jeans. The whole point
is Levi jeans are not built for people
who eat. All I'm saying is
if I fall and break a leg and I'm trapped in my
flat with no one coming round, if I suck
on these jeans, I could live for
a month.
If you don't wash them.'s enough calories yeah combine that with fasting on a monday yeah i'm going to
november oh you know what this is already a woman's own frontline isn't it my week of eating
my jeans ashforth story uh number six on this list and uh this i i do not believe this is a
good idea number six on this list is uh take a bath together with a loved one.
Oh, that's so tin bath fucking 80s coal mine, isn't it?
I think they're thinking of it more in an erotic way.
Really?
You know what?
I really love my niece.
She's 21.
Have you been watching that video I brought in?
Yeah.
I like you. she's 21 have you been watching that video i bought in yeah i am so you know ladies and gentlemen i think honestly if i take a bath that we have to put such little water in if i share a bath
because i'm so fat the displacement is we're drowning if we go for more than two inches
i look like a i look like a whale that's beached on South End Beach. I am beach body fit myself.
Like a fucking whale.
That's, you know, two mugs in a bath and I'm done, basically.
Two mugs in a bath?
What are you doing?
You, me and my mate, two mugs in a bath.
You watch out.
Racist.
Hello there.
My name is John.
I'm from New Zealand.
I'd just like to say two mugs and a bar.
Do they have mugs?
I'm so ignorant.
To have interrupted your bar.
I've just got to say, it's just in terms of
ignorance, the best one I ever heard was a certain
Australian act once turned around to me before he went to play
in Ireland and went, have they heard of the Hulk over
there?
Right, this
one genuinely is another dog. dog edit point edit point this is
another book and it is called um use dog hair knitting i'm really sorry that's totally deserved
though that was totally deserved that you were for for viewers at home for viewers at home um he's basically just
shotgun the can it's the best way to describe that that was just i think somehow you missed it
yeah you just created the whole you just created a steam cloud it was it was fine for viewers at
home um so sorry no that was totally can i read you the... It's a book. It's a book, right? It's called Use Dog Hair,
Nitting.
And the slogan for this book is
better a sweater from a dog
you know than a sheep
you'll never meet.
These are placenta-eating
90s freaks who should never be listened
to.
What's her name? Pepper Potts.
That's Paltrow
fucking territory, that is. I printed
off the Amazon book review
page here because on
this, I believe
that this has got the single best
review for any item
that has ever been on Amazon and I'm
going to read this. I might just do this every
gig I ever do. So,
for the book, Knitting with Dog
Hair, Better a Sweater from a Dog
You Love. Yeah, we got it.
So the headline is
the headline
is, with great power
comes great responsibility.
Oh, fuck off!
Four stars.
Be very careful with this book thinking myself clever i shaved my dog
then knitted him a sweater using his own fur i believe this paradox may have ripped a small
hole in the space-time continuum my son son seems to now be ageing in reverse,
causing me to deduct one star from this review.
Otherwise, a very informative book.
That is genius.
This is brilliant.
A two-star review on the same book.
Headline, nothing really new.
I was very disappointed
with this book. Not only was it
expensive at over $50 and
short 101 pages including
the index, there was
little information that couldn't be
found in any other beginning spinning
book. Right, well we've all
learned something there.
Where are we on the list?
I don't think we're topping that so um oh there's
one thing there's a new website house out which um is things that weigh the same as other things
in tesco so you know when you're using the self-service checkout no that's a pack of
i've made this this year in 2015 my goal has been to steal something from Tesco
every time I shop there.
Now you've found your in.
I'm in, yeah.
So what you do is,
so a pack of Wrigley's Extra Chewing Gum
weighs the same as a 12-pack of Poppadoms.
Ooh.
You know, the pre-cooked Poppadoms.
I love Poppadoms.
Boom, boom, you've saved yourself £1.20.
There's a website.
Which is cheap. The Poppadoms are quite expensive, aren't they? Yeah, Poppadoms are more, boom. You've saved yourself £1.20. There's a website. Which is cheap.
Poppadoms are quite expensive, aren't they?
Yeah, Poppadoms are more expensive than the gum.
I love Poppadoms, mate.
You scan the gum.
You scan the Poppadoms or gum or whatever,
and it says it's the same thing.
You can just load and you're nicking.
It's theft, but there's a whole website.
There's a whole website.
There's a whole website dedicated to it.
You'd have to go with two of everything
and abandon one bag
of shopping.
Or if you really
want poppadoms.
Why would you
have to go through
all of that?
I mean the
Tesco around the
corner from me
you could just
walk in and
nick shit.
They do not
give a shit.
I went in there
the other day
and said where
are the drinks?
And he just
went I don't
know.
It's like you
work here.
They did not give a shit.
Anyway.
And that's the end of my
How to Save Money in Your Life section.
Right.
We're going to go to the final part of the show now.
It's the part that sometimes brings delight
to all and sometimes
is the end of everything.
It is the
Cheap Show, Cheap Eats section
of the show.
It's the Cheap Eats. Eats are the cheap.
Cheap Eats. They're cheap
and we have to eat them.
He's doing his own jingle.
We haven't actually got a jingle
for this bit.
Every week what we do is we...
You've outpoured
his own
I've got my own
shitty plastic bag
that is
it's the fact that
you've got to tear
in one of the handles
to give it that proper
you know when they
find a corpse in the woods
and it's wrapped up
in plastic carrier bags
yeah
it's that kind of bag
that's the kind of bag
that should have
something that's leaked
from that little slit
that you've got
on the bottom of it
just the word slit
in that sentence
anyway
that's a thing it's not my fault you're the word slick in that sentence. Anyway, the point...
It's not my fault you're dirty.
And relax.
For this part of the show,
we go and source food
for interesting eating time.
I don't know what the fuck I'm saying.
That sentence was just words.
This is where we find exotic foods.
You're like a badly translated...
I'm on co-coldemol.
Ah, with the intro.
Oh, hello there. My name's Paul Gannon. I'm on co-coldemol. Oh, hello there.
My name's Paul Gannon.
I'd just like to say some interesting
eating time here.
I'm sorry to have interrupted your podcast
with my New Zealand accent.
I'm sorry if that offends you.
Genuinely, I'm sorry.
I would never like to offend anyone
because I'm very mild-mannered in my ways.
I'm really hoping it's the beginning of a stroke.
If anything, I'd like to apologise for apologising as well.
Did I mention I'm from Auckland in New Zealand?
Just don't mention a walk.
I'm terribly sorry if our earthquake affected you in any way.
Right, Cheap Eats is the part of the show
where we go shopping for interesting food.
Sometimes we find off-brand products,
something that you don't often go for
because it doesn't have a familiar brand.
So this time, we're going to go for the sour candy route.
We've done sweets in the past.
We did the Jelly Bellies once,
you know the Jelly Belly sweets?
We found the ones that tasted like snot and bogeys
and vomit, and we tried those.
But tonight, we are doing
possibly the most sour candies in the world.
I don't think I'm bigging this up as much as I should
because I'm wiggling a bag full of sweets in front of an audience.
Do your Clarkson.
Do your Clarkson first.
This is probably the most sexist thing in the world.
I'm very offended by that.
They said it, actually.
I'd like to say I agree that all people are equal,
whether they have a vagina or a penis.
So what's the first sweet?
Right, well, usually I have to up front this by saying
we have called this section cheap eats,
but everything in this bag was really fucking expensive.
So don't go to...
It's those kind of stores.
I can't remember the brand.
So what's this?
What's this?
Describe it.
The first sour candy tonight
is by a company called Double Bubble
and the candy is called
Cry Baby Tears.
Oh, no.
I dread it.
It was a different time.
It's from the 70s.
Extra sour candy.
Now, again,
Ash, these are all good to use.
I want you to just shake
a couple into your hand.
I genuinely have
like a phobia of this.
It makes me feel worried.
I feel more nervous
about this than anything
I've ever done.
They look like drugs,
don't they?
Right.
So I'm going to...
Is it me or is this
like the shittiest version
of the deer hunter ever?
Yeah.
It's a shit deer.
It's just like...
Titty mouth.
Right, ready?
We're going to put
these candy crushers...
I'm going to do all three.
In one go.
Ready?
Yeah.
So we're going to put
these chalky sweets in our mouths.
No.
Crikey.
Crikey.
That is quite sour.
Oh, my heart.
Oh, that's
lovely.
Oh, that's really nice.
Did you like that?
Rob, are you all right?
I want some fucking wool.
And these are the least sour, yeah?
No, no, no.
We have a spit bag because this goes wrong some nights.
They're nice.
They're nice.
I like those.
They're nice, but...
They are tart.
They are very tart.
They're extremely tart, Rob.
No.
No.
It's more of a tart sour than a fizzy sour, isn't it?
I get through it.
I get through it.
And I'm...
I like it.
I like it.
That's nice.
It's got a nice artificial cherry flavour.
It's better.
It's better now.
They taste like nerds.
They're a bit like nerds.
They're really stale.
They just taste really like Nana's sweets.
You know?
They've just been in the fucking car.
Nana needs sweets like that so she can taste them.
Yeah.
Did you like that
yeah I liked it
I'm getting into it
did you have one sir
what
come on
you've got to join in
you didn't decide
whether it was your
penis or your tongue
and now you won't
eat the fucking sweets
Jesus
can I change my opinion
from that question
earlier though
that's
I'm thinking now
that my tongue
can fucking go
because that was
just too much man
out of 10 what would you rate them
nothing right
what would you rate them Adam
6
she's doing that classic 6 but she means 4
basically that's
Australians are made of harder stuff
well let me just say this right
based on what's coming up
they aren't even sour.
All right?
That was the beginning.
So this is the beginning.
Only now do you truly understand.
Right.
So the next one I'm going to use is called Warheads.
I genuinely dread this.
Super sour spray candy.
No.
I'm going to spray my content into your mouth directly.
Eli is now opening the little,
it looks like a little spray can for people listening at home.
It's a little neon green spray can.
So it's basically like an anti-air freshener.
A mouth breath thing, not that I use those often.
It's a spray, but full of sugar and sour shit.
I only take those with me when I'm off going to Tiger Tiger,
being a semi-award, you know, old comedian of the year.
It's got a picture of someone enjoying them on it, this little head.
Is it a lady?
No, it's someone.
He's got a big white afro.
No, it's an explosion.
Oh, that's his head exploding.
Okay.
I just, you know, for the listeners.
Yeah, no the listeners.
Yeah, no, listeners.
Warheads.
It looks like, so it's a really bad version of Blasted Billy from Garbage Pail Kids, basically.
Right, right.
Oh, God.
I am going to spray now into Eli's mouth.
Ready?
That's just... That was the best Popeye expression.
That's sour.
Yeah?
But very little else.
What's the enjoyment of this?
Who said it?
You're about to find out, motherfucker.
That is just like slightly sugared lemon juice.
All right.
That's awful.
Rob, are you ready?
Is that meant to be a sweet?
Two squirts for Rob.
In it goes, Rob.
How is it?
Jesus, man.
It's like someone's pissed a shirt but
dip tap in my
mouth
right Ash
you're next
my love
open wide
darling
fuck
oh god
it's horrible
you know what
though
that
this one we've
just done
is basically
what 10 year olds
do
let's just recount
the first candy
what would you
give it out of 10
no one asked me, did they?
No one's doing that.
Well, you're asking me now, are you?
Yes.
I quite liked it.
Seven.
Right, good.
Rob, the first candy, the chalky one, what do you think?
Four.
Four, and Ash?
I'm going, I'd go seven.
Seven for that, okay.
So, can you squirt it in my mouth?
It tastes like asthma.
Yeah, no, but that's what I mean.
That is a blatant kid sort of thing.
That is like,
there must be some audience,
but the Australians wouldn't even find that out.
It's like
exploding bubble gum kind of thing.
It's the thing that kids go like,
oh, yeah, yeah.
Open wide, darling.
Wider.
I'm sorry, but this proves this is what happens
when all the acts are over 30.
Before, we'd all be smoking cocaine.
We'd all be on the drugs.
Now, this is what we do.
Not too bad?
That's Makismo over there saying not too bad.'s McKismo over there
saying not too bad
what's it like Virgil
Virgil's got something to say
about what it's like
Paul if you stop running around for a minute
stop drawing focus
there's something very wrong
with the way you were spraying the ladies there
so Virgil what's it like
it's like the fizzy cola bottles it's like just getting the fizz. Don't do that. So Virgil, what's it like? It's like the fizzy cola bottles.
It's like just getting the fizz off the cola.
Yeah, just that.
It's very much like that.
It's the essence of fizzy
cola bottles.
It's the equivalent of
shouting bogeys, isn't it?
It's just fucking...
Good.
I'm enjoying myself.
This is basically because we can't afford actual drugs, isn't it?
Out of ten, Rob.
Three.
Out of ten, Ash.
I'm going to give that one, and I'm dreading the next thing.
Oh, God.
I'll give it a three.
Ryan, I'll give it a three.
I've got to say, the reason why I give it a three is because it's there and it's done.
Otherwise, it'd be, yeah.
How many are there?
This is the last one.
Two more left.
Two more?
Yeah.
Oh, fuck.
What's the next one, Paul?
This one.
No, don't do the fucking thing with your...
This goes by the name of Toxic Waste
and comes in an attractive sewerage can motif style package
with oozing green venom around the rim.
Madam.
That's proper Toxic Avenger
sort of sales market.
They say
these are hazardously
sour candies, assorted fruit flavours.
Now,
I don't know what these are going to be like.
I do.
They'll be sour, I would surmise.
Each one is wrapped separately, so I'm imagining the apple flavours
are going to be slightly different.
How are they selling this?
Who wants this?
I understand.
No, you know kids, kids, garbage barrel kids,
this is that kind of thing, isn't it?
It's the dummies, it's the aliens, it's the snob.
I think the Australians genuinely watched you as you took the last thing,
and you didn't react.
It was like, it's unbelievable.
Now, I've got watermelon. I've got black got lemon. What have you got? I've got... Watermelon.
I've got black cherry.
And what have you got, Eli?
Apple.
Yeah, you've got apple.
Okay.
Ready?
I've got to say, I think I've lucked out because lemon tends to be the...
Mine's on the floor.
Three second rule.
No, wait.
Yeah, it's fine.
So, there is a spit bag here, right?
On the off chance it's too sour.
I hate this.
All right.
I'm glad.
Are we ready? Three,
two, one.
Who can eat that?
Who can get through that? Who can do that? Who can get through that?
Who can do that?
He's got water.
I'm dribbling.
I'm actually dribbling with sourness.
Wow, that is really sour.
That's too much.
There's no sweetness there.
Imagine that.
Imagine you work for the toxic waste company sweet shop.
The guy comes in and went, I've made these.
He puts them on the boardroom table.
The chairman tastes one and goes, John, fuck off
you're fired.
Hang on. Just want to make a point.
I fucking ate mine.
I fucking ate mine.
Last week, John
came in last week. He made a curly whirly.
Susan made a Twix.
This is bullshit.
Oh, man.
I also ate mine. I feel like I This is bullshit. Oh, man.
I also ate mine.
I feel like I fucking was so sick.
I had bile and then I froze it and then I ate it.
That's how I feel right now.
There's going to be an Australian there who does not bat an eyelid.
Don't let him choose the fruit.
Don't let him choose the fruit.
Look, they've all put their fucking hands up.
They love it.
This is why they sell. This is the fucking, you know. They love sour. They're undo choose the fruit. Look, they've all put their fucking hands up. They love it. This is why they sell.
This is the fucking, you know.
They love sour.
They're undoing the packets.
That was pretty sour.
I think that was the most sour of the lot so far. I'm going to watch your eyes this time because you did not respond last time.
This is unbelievable.
You like to taste like gin.
They want another one. They want another one.
They want another one.
I'm coming round with the spitbag.
Did you build her?
Is that what happened?
What?
Does anyone else want a spitbag?
See, that's a normal human being.
I saw that response.
Do you want the spitbag back there?
No, it's coming out.
One Australian has failed.
The spitbag is available.
Did you like it then?
Do you know what?
The price of that pepper
has just gone up.
Okay, just as a test.
All right.
Ash, if you had a choice
between another one of them
or this entire bag.
I would eat the bag
of River Rocks.
You would eat the bag
of River Rocks.
That's what I thought.
I tell you what,
the guy in the sweet factory
who made those sweets
is an Australian. I also you what, the guy in the sweet factory who made those sweets is an Australian.
I also think he really hates kids.
Fucking pissing me off.
Right.
So, the audience kind of liked it.
You've made a very sour sweet there, Steve.
Shut up now.
Shut up now with that.
One too many callbacks, all right?
Stop being clever.
We've got the final one tonight.
Ladies and gentlemen, the final of the sour sweet.
Have you done these in sourness, from what you know?
All I can say is that this one might be the deal breaker.
So, what was that?
And yet, they come from such a back garden source.
What the fuck does back garden source mean, Eli?
Cocodamol.
So, this last candy is called Vimto
seriously sour
Vimto
that's what I thought
did you just say
did you describe that
as back garden sauce
Eli's gone back in time
they were so fucking sour
I can't believe
you fucking
brought Vimto out
at this point
for the Australians
in the audience
Vimto is basically like
a very British
old standard cordial
drink and it's
blackcurranty fruity, isn't it?
It's horrible. It's old standard British candy sweet.
It's northern, isn't it? And they've now branched
into sour candy shockers. This will be fine.
The good people of vimto
haven't got where they are in the world
of confectionery by dishing
out dog shit. I think they got exactly
where they are in the world of confectionery. Alrighthing out dog shit. I think they got exactly where they are in the world
of confectionery. Alright, hold on.
I'm going to read this. It says
this product may cause
irritation to mouth.
On the...
No, Chris!
We cannot sell this!
It'll be fine!
It'll be fine!
It's a little boiled purple sweet
where the spit bag is just there, remember.
And are you ready to now insert
my small thing
into your gaping mouth?
I'm ready.
No, we've got to wait for them.
Ready?
It's got no smell.
Never trust anything that doesn't smell.
Right.
Three,
two, one.
Oh!
It actually... It burns!
It burns!
It actually hurts!
Ah!
Ah!
Oh my god! I don't... I honestly It actually hurts. Oh, my God.
I honestly, you went through, you've been through a lot tonight, Australians.
I don't think there is a human being that could keep that in their mouth for a minute.
I feel.
If they do, can they win this?
I'm fucking done.
If there is an Australian in the room that can keep that in their mouth.
150 guy, 150 guy, fuck you, it's mine.
Come on, Australians, you reckon you can do it?
Yeah?
Yeah?
Keep it in for a minute and the pepper receptacle is yours.
Okay, but I've been going for a minute.
Am I in this as well?
If I keep mine in before... No, no, no, no.
You've eaten yours.
Yeah, I punched it and went down quick.
That was the sourest, wasn't it?
They don't even blink.
They love it.
Genuinely, there is no pained expression, no cold sweats.
I'm going to have to ask, sir, how old are you?
Right, there you go.
I'm done.
He's 12 points and wake up in the morning and really not give a fuck.
He's 23.
He's 23.
That answers everything.
We're all over 30.
That's why.
Well, then they get the bloody pepper, then.
Yeah, you win the pepper.
Eli threw it at them.
And I win the toilet seat.
Did anyone over here get one of those?
Oh, did you want to try one?
Oh, Virgil does. No one? Oh, Virgil does.
No, you try.
Virgil does.
I like you.
You're gay.
I think it's eating my guts out.
Oh, hang on.
Give him the toilet seat cover.
Toilet seat cover.
I knew it would come in handy.
Oh, God.
I do apologise.
Oh, yeah, sorry, Virgil.
That's twice I've ejected over Virgil.
Right. I lied. I've got sorry Virgil. That's twice I've ejected over Virgil. Right.
I lied.
I've got one more thing.
What?
I've got one more thing.
You can't.
You know what?
This is like the fucking
like we've killed the
fucking monster and then
it just rises up, isn't it?
This is when Michael
Myers gets up.
Ready?
Okay, so these are
called radiation balls.
They're gumballs with a
sour centre.
A sour centre, so we've got to get to the centre.
I'd just like to point out that I've eaten every sweet that's been given to me.
I have not put anything in the fucking thing.
You can have a black one with the red.
Each candy has got the nuclear warning sign on it.
Jesus Christ.
You know.
Sweet on the outside.
These are all fucking dare sweets.
Yeah, they are.
I think they're gateway drugs.
Yeah.
Take this big Australian, I've got to the middle. All think they're gateways, right? Yeah. They've got Australian,
I've got to the middle!
Alright, I'm going to go.
Okay.
Oh, wait,
I thought you were
still counting.
No, all in.
I'm going to chew it.
That's nice.
Yeah, love him.
It's quite sour.
No, he's gone ahead.
He's gone ahead, you see.
He knows what's coming.
No, that has some balance.
That has some balance. It has a little bit of soups on the balance. It has some sweetness. And a seed, and a seed. That's gone ahead, you see. He knows what's coming. No, that has some balance. That has some balance.
It has a little bit of soups on the balance.
It has some sweetness.
And a seed.
And a seed.
That's actually, I think, in terms of the overall flavour, it's quite nice.
Flavour calibre.
I'm back.
I'm back in the rub.
That's good.
Well, I've got one more left.
If you three want to do an orgy suck on.
Have a go.
Do you want the last one?
Yeah?
No.
I'd give that a... He's 23, you've basically given him a meal.
To sum up, out of all the candy we've tried tonight,
which is the most sour?
The Vimto.
Vimto.
Vimto.
No, the one before that.
Oh, the one before.
The toxic waste.
It's a close call between the toxic waste and the Vimto.
Virgil says Vimto, but as we all know,
we don't listen to Virgil.
And what
you guys
because you had them all as well
out of all of them
which was your favourite
or the sourest?
The Toxic Waste one.
Well we've learned
I mean the thing is
the Toxic Waste was sour throughout
whereas the Vimto
we were like
mmm
mmm
and then it was alright.
So
I'm going to call a winner
and say
the Vimto is the winner
tonight, hooray

It's the most annoying thing
of a podcast.
When you're listening to a podcast,
they hear the entire website
for the podcast
that you're actually listening to.
No.
I feel a lot of darkness.
This is the heart of darkness.
I've grown on,
I've become on Paul's side
because of how nasty
you two have been to him.
I don't know.
Why don't you do that in a fucking New Zealand accent?
Oh, well, hello there.
I'd like to say that I'm fully on Paul's side right at the moment.
I'd like to say, if you do have any podcast needs,
why don't you go and have a little look at thegeekatorium.com.
You don't have to.
I mean, it'd be nice if you did.
I wouldn't want to put any pressure on you to do anything you didn't want to do.
Maybe have a little kiss with a girlfriend or a boyfriend. It doesn't really matter. I mean, it'd be nice if you did. I wouldn't want to put any pressure on you to do anything you didn't want to do. Maybe have a little kiss
with a girlfriend or a boyfriend. It doesn't really matter.
I'm easy. And sleep.
