tapestry of despair

I see you've moved Mount Grotpants
to another side of the room
you've managed to migrate a mountain
of pants
my room has multiple sources so many you can't see where the door is to another side of the room. You've managed to migrate a mountain of pants.
My room has multiple sources,
so many you can't see where the door is.
Is that the rhyme you've been sitting on for a while?
I haven't been sitting on it.
Backpocket job. Backpocket.
The sources obscure my pantsies.

Stop saying shit that wasn't funny when it came out 15 years ago, minimum.
Some unfunny puppet's marketing fucking catchphrase.

Don't say simples.
I stand by my simples.
It's naff.
I stand by my simples.
Let's purge some of the naff out of the show.
All right, go on. What can I do?
Just don't say shit like that.
How about that?
Start with that, Paul.

It's like me saying loads of money.
It's not like you saying loads of money.
Yes, it is.
It's not.
Yeah, because that's not your catchphrase.
Simples is not your catchphrase.
I didn't take any ownership of it.
It's the meerkat off the fucking insurance ads.
Simples.
Whatever, what's on the show?
No banter
no how are you feeling
Eli
none of that
how am I feeling
I don't know
let's do a catch up
how are you doing mate
I'm alright yeah
I stand by my comment
about loving you
shut up
I don't want to talk about that
why not
why can't you
it bores me
my love bores you
yes
right
that's upsetting
well
I'm just saying it's upsetting.
I have.
I'm suffering from allergies.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
If I do sound a bit bunged up.
Oh you want to just hang a lantern on that then.
The fact that you're a little bit bunged up today.
I'm a bit bunged up today.
Yeah.
Maybe have you tried any vocal exercises to try and loosen you.
Like what?
That's not a vocal exercise.
That's just you.
Just blow air out through your front teeth and your nose That tickled my lips
So why are you looking
Why are you looking at your phone?
Because I'm looking for some bits that are coming up later in the show
I've got my book
I've got a book, I was given it
I can write notes down for cheap showing it now
So I can tell you that for cheap showing it now.
So I can tell you that on the show today is an intro. I think we're in the middle of that.
This is the intro.
And then we've got an Ask Silverman
and a Tales from the Dance Floor we can have
a little go at. Tales from the Shop Floor.
Yeah. Yeah.
So don't get those confused. Alright.
I won't because you're my mate
and I like you. You're my mate. Are we doing a nicey-nicey show today? I'm going to be nice. All right. I won't because you're my mate and I like you.
You're my mate.
That's not, well, we're doing a nicey-nicey show today. I'm going to be nice to you today.
I'm not going to be nasty to you at all.
I think every now and then you get a mulligan and I'm nice to you.
What's a mulligan?
It's like, it's a golf turn where you fuck up a shot so they go,
you can have that one for free.
Right, because he's, well, educationally subnormal.
No, it's just maybe you have a bad day and you slice it.
He doesn't act.
What if he goes
into some kind of
weird tantrum
when he loses?
My ball is in a tree.
Yeah, and then he runs around.
Perhaps he shits.
He shits on the...
He shits in the bunker
if you piss him off.
So you have to give him
the mulligan.
I don't want a mulligan
from you.
Very poor.
Oh, there's a doorbell.
A doorbell.
You're expecting a door.
Look, there's some sauce over there. I should mention that. Yes, your sauce mound. there's a doorbell. Is that a doorbell? Are you expecting a door? Look, there's some sauce over there.
I should mention that.
Yes, your sauce mound.
There's a sauce mound.
How's it going?
Well, you've got the garlic there.
I can't believe this is the topic of this fucking show.
It's pathetic.
Anyway.
There's barbecue.
You've said, moving on, you said you've got a top three.
I have an Eli's top three, making another appearance after several months.
Several, several, many episodes, maybe not since the 40s or 50s.
Let me tell you something, Paul.
It's a doozy.
It's a doozy, ladies and gentlemen.
It's a doozy.
Simple.
And then we've got a big bumper cheap eats today, haven't we?
It is a gargantuan amount of cheap eats of epic proportions.
You will not believe your mouth and ears.
It's a computer world size.
It's going to be crazy fun time, food time, excellent time, fun time.
Lots of cheap eats coming up.
Lots of cheap eats coming up.
And then we're playing a board game I picked up in a charity shop.
Oh, God.
What?
That is what has become of this podcast.
Yes.
You have a problem.
I think we need to address it now.
I do have a problem with...
You have started to get a bit like a crack fiend for board games.
Very much so.
Very much.
It's a genuine problem.
You're fiending.
You're jonesing for games.
I've got a stack of board games and every week it gets higher because they're just so
cheap and I see some I just want so bad.
Did you enjoy board games growing up?
Is there some kind of psychological reason for this?
I did enjoy boy games.
Boy games?
Board games.
Games with boys.
Games with boys.
Is that it?
Is that all you got?
You enjoyed boy games, did you, Paul?
Yeah, I did.
I enjoyed boy games.
All right.
Boy games.
Boy games.
With the boys.
The trees and the boys.
The boys and the bees.
I like the boy games.
They're good.
I play cuckoo.
It's a great game.
Right.
Someone says, hey, and you say, hey, back.
And then someone says, potato sacks.
And you say, potato sacks back.
And then someone says a three-letter sentence.
A three-letter sentence?
Three-word sentence.
That's the rules.
And you play it, and you go in, and someone says, I like candy.
Did the family play a lot of board games?
The family?
Oh, the family around Christmas really liked it.
I don't know who this guy is.
This is old Jimmy Biscuits.
Oh, Biscuits.
guy is this is old jimmy biscuits oh biscuits is is a guy who's got lots of nostalgia from the united states of america that's right so my family would always play board games board games every
single christmas we'd get around and we'd play monopoly which is based on a parrot a parrot
called monopoly a bird with mono.
It's a great game.
I'm just jumping in here to see,
is this bit done, Paul?
And have you?
Shut up, I'm enjoying this.
And then we play a game
called Fludo.
I'll come back in five minutes.
Yeah, you go.
Fuck, I'm going to top up my coffee.
So then,
are you really going?
Fuck yeah.
Alright, then get out.
I'll carry on with this.
You're going to do it.
You're going to keep doing this.
Yeah.
The Boyd games
Yeah
And then I played a game called
Fludo
Which is a great game
It's like Cluedo
But with Boyds
I played this game
A mouse a trapper
There's Mr Black
And there's Mr Bird Blue
And there's Mr Blood Red
And they go around
You gotta solve
Who stole the bird seed
It's a great game
What else is there
There's Buckup
Who
Which is about An owl It's a great game. What else is there? There's Booker Who, which is about an owl.
It's really weird doing it when you guys left the room.
I feel so lonely.
And then there's all these kind of crazy new games we play.
Did I tell you about Booker Who?
Is it Tales from the Shop Floor then?
It's an owl game.
What can we do with Tales from the Shop Floor?
You don't like my...
I mean, I tried to pick up on something that might be amusing. It's an owl game. What can we do? It's a thousand shop floor. You don't like my... You don't like my...
It's just that I've been...
I tried to pick up on something
that might be amusing.
It's nothing amusing.
Tommy Biscuits will be back next week.
He's a reoccurring character now.
We'll come back with more.
Let's start with your thoughts.
Next time, it's Sweet Chaps.
I got Sweet Chap candy stars.
No, please.
Tommy Biscuits, please.
No.
Tommy Biscuits.
Maybe Tommy Biscuits and Richard
Brandaff should do a spin-off podcast. Don't say that
name in the same sentence as
this abomination.
Tommy Biscuits. Is Tommy Biscuits going?
Yes, thank you, Tommy Biscuits.
Are you on your way out?
We want Paul back to do Tales from the Shop Floor.
I gotta go. Bye, everybody. Okay, good. Bye.
Bye. Right, ask Silverman.
That was a successful segment.
We weren't recording that.
From when?
From all of it.
Oh, good, good.
It sucked.
I'm getting into a habit of doing that.
That story sucked.
I don't know what happened in that story.
We didn't get to it, though.
I know.
So we're going to start the whole Tales from the Shop Floor segment again, yeah?
Yeah.
Okay, let's do this.
We're going to start again. Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to capture all whole Tales from the Shop Floor segment again, yeah? Yeah. Okay, let's do this. We're going to start again.
Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to capture all the excitement of that original recording
of this section of Telltales from the Dance Floor.
It's not the Dance Floor, Paul.
It's the Shop Floor.
Tales from the Shop Floor.
This is still going to go successfully.
Paul.
Yeah.
You need to differentiate, yeah?
Do I.
Shop Floor. Yeah. Shop I? Shop floor. Yeah.
Shopping. Shopping. Yeah.
Shop floor shopping. Let's get a mnemonic
going here. Shop floor, think about
chopped vegetables. Chopped.
Chop, chop, chop, chop.
On the floor. Chop, chop, chop.
On the flop shop.
Ping pong.
That's the chop floor. King prawn.
Crown and prawn. Crown and prawn.
Okay, shut up.
I'm trying to help you, remember.
Are we recording now?
Yes, we are definitely recording.
Okay.
So this is...
To tell, to tell, to tell, to tell.
From, from, from, from.
The, the, the, the shop, shop, shop.
Flow, flow, flow.
Oh, yeah.
Putting needle on the record.
Come on.
Right on time.
I've spilt coffee on my crotch.
This just in.
Eli spills coffee on crotch.
That's the hottest it's been since 1999.
What?
So I got laid in 1999.
That was the last time I got laid, was it?
Successfully.
Where both of you were happy.
Fuck off.
Are you going to accuse me of some kind of fucking crime now?
Are you accusing me?
No, I'm not accusing you of a crime.
Well, don't fucking make shit up
about my story.
My life story.
Your life story is adaptable.
No, it's fucking not.
Make the movie of your life.
Eli, the movie.
Ow.
Fuck off.
I'm two years old.
This bit isn't working
as well as the first one we watched.
Just do Tales from the Shop Floor.
You're really annoying and shit.
It's gone beyond a joke, Paul.
Tales, tales, tales, tales from the shop,
from the shop, shop, shop, shop, shop, shop, shop, shop, shop, shop, shop,
ping-pong, ping-pong, floor.
Oh, yeah.
Ian Fuller writes in on the shop floor.
He goes, he's an American
hey lads, I got a submission
for Tales from the Shop Floor
I'm an American listener
and I love Cheap Show and all the work
you do on the Barshens and on
the Spooktator
thanks Ian, yeah, would you like to read it?
I think you should fucking get on with it
so that we can generate some kind of
humorous traction
in this bit because there's nothing.
You are just, you know,
you've gone, it turned to a jelly.
I used to work at a Kmart
store while in high school.
Better. From the ages of about
16 to
19. Too pausy now, it's too
pausy. Kmart, if you don't
know,
is like a Walmart,
but poorly lit.
God.
And stuck in the year 1993.
I left my coffee in another room.
Oh my God.
You're so shit.
This bit's so not working.
So we're frightened.
Listen.
Do you want to read it?
Do you want to read it?
Yes.
I was going to say.
Read it.
Can I do Tales from the Shop floor?
Fuck me.
This is great.
Why have we never done this before?
Because you'd have no responsibility on this show.
Listen, it's a responsibility.
Can I just say, Paul?
Yeah.
I'm happy to read some Tales from the Shop floor.
Go for it.
Liven this shit up a bit.
Go for it then.
Get to the point.
Right, you ready?
Yes, I am ready.
Have we established,
he worked in Kmart
and he's an American, he's called Ian, yes? Yes. So we established? He worked in Kmart. Yeah. And he's an American.
He's called Ian.
Yes.
Yes.
So one Friday or Saturday, just say one of the days.
You just know.
It's a vague memory.
Oh, well, maybe it was another day.
No one cares what fucking day of the week it was.
It was the weekend.
Yeah.
Fucking hell.
One Friday or Saturday, I was working into the late evening, maybe about 9pm,
when a guy came jogging into the health and beauty section of the store.
He had to have been about 45 and looked just like the lead character
from the second Human Centipede movie.
Have you seen that?
Oh, yes, the ugly, ugly man.
He's an ugly man, is he?
Yes.
Is he beardy?
No, he's big and he's a little bit overweight.
And he's got a face a bit like Marty and he's a little bit overweight and he's got
a kind of face
a bit like
Marty Feldman's
if he'd headbutt
at a wall
thank you
he came
jogging up to me
panting
and in a loud
tone of voice
nearly yelling
asked me
where's your
lube
and I was just
about to give him
directions to the
auto department
when he then added, this time yelling, full sex!
Fair enough, I thought, and I brought him to the sex aid department.
He quickly scanned the shelves and then looked at me, at this time probably 16 and not yet touched a girl's nether regions.
Thank you for that, Ian, thank you, and asked, what do you recommend?
Since I had no experience in the matter, I replied, not sure, let me Google it.
To which he replied, I would have researched it myself, but someone didn't want to wait.
What?
Right.
Anyway, I think we quickly decided on Astro Glide.
And then basically, I ran behind him to the checkout counter, quickly cashing out.
He said, thanks, man.
And I managed to get out, have a fun time,
before he shot out the door.
In one part of my mind, I'm thinking, good on him.
His age still getting his meat wet.
Getting his tip wet.
His age still getting his meat wet,
which is a sentence I never thought I'd read.
On the other, the store was located in the area
known for high rates of prostitution.
Same result either way, I suppose.
Also, why buy lube but no condoms?
Anyway.
Thanks, guys.
Keep up the good work.
Well, thank you, Ian.
That really did pick up, especially when it was read with some pace and fucking...
Let me...
I'll read another one.
Got any comments about that?
Mad Man wants lube.
Mad Man wants lube?
Thug need lube.
Lube.
Where'd you be, mate?
Mad need lube.
Og need lube.
What do you need lube for, mate?
Og have sex with wife.
Oh, and you need lube.
Og kill crocodile, wife very horny.
Oh, do you have any condoms?
I use crocodile.
Lube the crocodile.
It's only small crocodile. Oh, a you have any condoms? I use crocodile. Lube the crocodile. It's only small crocodile.
Oh, a little alligator.
It's a very small alligator, which has og...
Filed teeth down.
Fit snug on og cock.
You're right.
This is great comedy.
This is really good comedy.
Snug on og cock.
All right.
All right, mate.
Right, got another story?
I'll read it.
That was good.
Hang on, let me have a look.
I liked the detail there in the end.
Thanks, Ian.
Another tale from the shop floor?
Yeah.
Okay, here's another tale from the shop floor.
It's exciting.
I like being read stories too.
This is from Rich661.
So Richard Nothing is the name he's given.
So I don't think that's his real surname.
You can maybe guess Richard might be, though.
Yes.
So Richard, thank you for getting in touch.
Hello, cheap show.
Smiley face.
Nice.
Open smiley face.
Oh, like wide smile.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Happy face.
Hello.
I want gloob.
I recently got back in contact with someone I worked with about 15 or so years ago.
He reminded me of a great story we used to retell other people.
It almost seems like a story specifically made for you, but I swear this is true.
The best of both our recollections.
So there's a little qualifier there from Richard at the top.
It means there's some margin of error
maybe in the honesty
and factuality of this story.
Well, memory,
as we both know, Paul,
as we both know,
is not a reliable source of things,
is it?
No, it's not.
You can barely remember
to do anything I ask you to do.
No, that's not the type of memory I mean.
It's the same kind of thing.
No, it's not.
It is.
It's a completely different category of memory.
I say remember to bring a blanket
back to the sports festival.
Remembering a story that happened to us is a completely different category of memory remembering a story that happened to us
is a completely different category
of remembering than remembering to do something
it's categorically different
and you just try to segue
into you lazy cat
I don't do everything
fuck I'm not turning that into this
I was trying to say memory
of the past
not remembering to do things
a completely different thing
so it's less like
you're forgetting a blanket
can we agree on that
it's unreliable
memories are unreliable
I'm just agreeing with you
just so I can differentiate
you're saying
forgetting to bring a blanket
an important prop
to a festival comedy show
oh you're so
you're
you're weepy
weepy fanny about this
that is not the same
as you doing an awful performance on stage
and then thinking back and going,
yeah, I smashed that.
That was really good.
That's more like what you're saying, isn't it?
That is exactly what I'm saying.
But I have no time for your petty shit.
It's true, though.
So the best of their fucking recollection, Paul.
All right.
To preface this,
because it's relevant,
we had a very camp-acting floor manager.
Oh, no.
Oh, you're getting to do a voice.
A very camp-acting floor manager in a certain chain of gaming shops.
What do we think?
Game.
Could be.
Maybe.
Sex.
SCEX.
What was that?
Electronic boutique.
Could it be something like White Dwarf?
Maybe. Warhammer. Warhammer. Warhammer. No, be something like White Dwarf? Maybe.
Warhammer.
Warhammer, yeah.
No, they're called White Dwarf, aren't they?
Who cares?
Fuck them.
I don't.
I mean, if you play it, yeah, but...
You don't like...
Make Og sad.
Og play game.
Og paint tiny man.
Og try to play D&D, but Og's wife Vera don't like.
Og's wife Vera always't like. Og's wife Vera
always ruins
our fun nights out.
We'll need to fuck
Og's wife
with crocodile dick thing.
Yeah, that's appropriate.
Camp acting floor manager
in a certain chain
of gaming shops.
One day,
we heard one of our
work colleagues
almost shouted
UGH!
He rushed over.
How can you almost shout UGH?
Maybe he went
he's gonna go UGH! But he caught himself. He was like UGH! It was a sort of strangle. UGH! he rushed over. How can you almost shout? Maybe he went, he's going to go, but he caught himself.
He was like, it was a sort of strangle.
He rushed over to inform us that, yes, someone had taken a shit on the floor.
If you're playing Cube Show Bingo, cross off the square where someone takes a shit right now.
And there's a little side comment here from Richard.
Nowadays, I amuse myself by assuming it was some sort of dirty protest about the price
of the PS2 bundles.
Yeah, that's what it was.
Very nerdy.
Yeah.
The floor manager
decided he would deal with it.
I'm not sure why,
but I guess to try
and show he was willing
to work too.
Fair enough.
So he disappeared upstairs
and reappeared
a few minutes later
wearing rubber gloves
and carrying a bucket
filled with soapy water.
Got down on his knees
in front of the PS2 display and attempting
the cleaning of said shit quickly gave
a really loud sigh.
He took off the gloves and grabbed
the shit in his bare hand
walked past us angrily and
campily shouted,
It's cake!
Then stormed,
stroke minced off back upstairs.
Well, minced, that's very offensive terminology.
He was a really nice bloke.
But we laughed at that for far longer than we probably should have done.
This may be a story that only seems funny to me all these years later,
but hopefully you enjoyed it too.
Closed face, smiley, and mitre con.
Keep up the good show, guys.
Thanks, Rich.
Okay, so let's unpack that.
I think what happened was the story is reasonably true.
He took the gloves off. I mean what happened was the story is reasonably true.
He took the gloves off.
I mean, what is the main sort of focus here?
What happened was he took the gloves off.
Yeah.
Took the shit and said it was cake.
No, he took his gloves off and grabbed it because he knew it was cake.
The question now is what cake are we looking at here?
We're looking at a chocolate cake probably. Obviously a chocolate cake.
Maybe a densely covered eclair.
Black Forest Gato.
Black Forest Gato.
A nice slice of that.
But that's got big white streaks in,
so it might...
What about a banana cake?
Banana bread with icing.
It could be raisin bread as well.
That's quite dark coloured.
Could be like a Christmas cake.
Yeah.
Could be a mini roll.
What do we mean by it's a cake?
I think he just means it's some kind of cake,
some kind of dense, bready, cakey subject.
So are we to think it is cake?
Yeah, no, and it was cake.
Oh, is that why I didn't pick up on that?
So it was cake.
It was cake.
It was not shit.
No.
But just the way he went, it's cake.
Yeah, because he was angry,
because he went through all that emotional turmoil
to get himself mentally in a position to clean up someone's...
And then it was only cake.
Gut droppings.
Someone was playing a prank on him.
Yeah.
Like the Babe Ruth bar in the pool.
From the Caddyshack.
In Caddyshack.
Okay.
Is there another story for me to read out?
No.
Should we do three?
Because now it's time for something else
that has a three in it.
Eli!
Oh, by the way,
thanks to everyone who gets in touch
and if you want to send your own tales
from the shop floor,
story in thecheapshowatgmail.com.
Now it's time for
I see I'm doing
professionally and upbeat
giving lots of energy
for the next section
of the show
that you're going to love
ladies and gentlemen
we don't do it often
but when we do
it's always a barnstormer
please
stand proud
and listen to
the famous
award winning section
of the show
we like to call
Eli's
Top
3
it's my top 3, yes, Paul.
We're back again with another top three.
This is where I say my top three of something.
And it's always a solid and well-researched three.
Category, and then you can comment,
and you will come up with a weaker top three
that's unconsidered and just shows your deadness inside,
your sociopathic unwillingness to even just relate to anything.
In a real way.
I like you though, Eli.
And I think deep down you love me too.
See, it's this kind of glibness.
It's this psychopathic glibness.
You just don't like getting in touch with your emotions.
You can't reach down and say, you know what, Paul?
I can reach down.
Say to me, do you mean it?
I'm going to reach down right now.
Go on.
Into my pants.
Right, I do what?
Wank.
Why?
Because I like to. I like that. That's an emotion. I'd do what? Wank. Why? Because I like to.
I'm in the room.
That's an emotion.
I'm getting a warm
belly emotion.
Yeah?
Say something else
because it's your voice
that makes me want to wank.
Ladies and gentlemen.
My top three.
I am genuinely
a fan of Eli Silverman.
Are we going to go
into this again?
I'm doing my top three.
I don't know why you fight it.
I don't know why you fight it
I've got a really good top 3 Paul
today's Eli's top 3 will be my top 3
drumroll
condiments
liquid condiments
so
this would not involve
salt or pepper
or any of these sprinkle on
condiments which are you you know, chili flakes,
bonito
flakes.
I'm getting the impression that nothing of any kind of dry
texture will be added
to your list. And there's all sorts of things they have in Japan
which can spice up the rice, like
sesame, toasted sesame
sort of seeds and stuff and oils and stuff.
So not oils? We're talking
liquid condiments.
Liquid condiments?
Yeah.
Now, this was a tough one for me, I have to say.
A tough but important top three.
Up until you mentioned the topic,
I was reasonably excited about this top three.
Now my level of interest could not be lower.
Top three liquid condiment time, Paul.
Can you spice this segment up somehow?
Maybe do each one of the different things
in a different accent.
No.
Go on.
All right.
Yay.
In third place.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, it's vinegar.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Third place vinegar.
I'm not going to ask what that voice was.
I just like the attempt.
See, it's a tough one for me, vinegar.
Yeah.
Because very close to it in the fourth place. Now, this is a little insight into the way my mind works. See, it's a tough one for me, Vinegar. Yeah. Because very close to it in fourth place.
Now, this is a little insight into the way my mind works.
Wait, fourth place?
Yeah.
How many is in this list?
It's top three, but I'm just giving some background,
which would be fourth place and fifth place.
So it's a top five?
No.
You can see you get a little extra bonus opinion about my fourth,
but the actual official is the top three.
So depressed.
And in third place
So third place is vinegar.
Yes.
But what is fourth then?
Vinegar's very important Paul.
Would you agree?
Do you like vinegar?
In small amounts.
I've heard about people
having vinegar sandwiches.
That's not something I do.
Just bread and vinegar.
No you put butter on
and then vinegar on that.
Oh no.
That sounds not good.
No that's not good.
I've never tried it myself.
I've never tried that.
And what's your feeling about balsamic?
I like balsamic.
Not on chips.
Do you like it on chips?
I've never had it on chips.
The sweetness doesn't help with the chips.
It's a middle class show.
You want some malt vinegar on chips.
Chippy chips.
You know what's good with vinegar on it?
A lot of people don't think about.
Bacon.
Bacon and vinegar? Splash some in your bacon sandwich. Oh, that's a dirty little trick with vinegar on it? A lot of people don't think about. Bacon. Bacon and vinegar?
Splash some in your bacon sandwich.
Oh, that's a dirty little trick, isn't it?
It's fucking good.
Is that a life hack as well?
No, it's a...
Do it.
Say it's a life hack.
It's not a life hack.
I'll put the sound effect in.
That's a life hack.
I've got a life hack.
Yeah?
Don't buy toilet paper.
I did that one, didn't I?
Yeah, I think you did that one.
Yeah.
This isn't life hacks, Paul.
Yeah. Okay? Yeah. Eli's top three. And. This isn't Life Hacks, Paul. Yeah.
Okay?
Yeah.
Eli's top three.
And in third place is vinegar.
Right, good.
Right, got any argument with that?
No, move on to two.
I don't want to hear about four and five now.
Fourth was...
Just to spite you, fourth was fucking soy sauce.
Fifth is ketchup, okay?
Right.
So it's a top five then, really.
It's a top three.
It's more of a top five.
Those were the unofficial fourth and fifth places.
Like, memorable mentions? No, like the unofficial fourth and fifth places. Like a memorable mentions? No, like the unofficial
fourth and fifth places. You want to say something
else? Memorable mentions?
Yeah, like
we can't fit them in the top three so here are two that
we wanted to get in. So they're not four and five.
They're more like a side thing.
Soy sauce. I thought it would be in your top
three. Don't do that.
Yeah. Alright. That's right. I remember it would be in your top three. Yeah, that's right. Don't do that. Yeah.
All right.
That's right.
I remember in the 80s when we had this little thing, this sauce machine.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I did that.
Don't bring him back.
Please don't bring him back. Okay, I'll go now, buddy.
Bye-bye.
Why is he always coming in and then going?
So what's number two?
Number two, Paul.
So we had ketchup.
Top three of liquid condiments.
Ketchup at number five.
Four is soy sauce.
Three is vinegar.
Two is...
Mayonnaise.
Mayonnaise.
Yes.
Mayonnaise.
I guess it's a liquid.
We've done it on Moff Brown Brown Off.
I guess it's a liquid.
It's a condiment.
Yeah, liquid condiment.
We're not going to have a whole source of liquid condiments
and then put fucking slightly more viscous condiments
in a whole other thing.
I thought you were going to be more like soy sauces and...
Well, soy sauce is there, Paul.
These are all condiments.
Sriracha.
The only distinction, yes.
Is that your number one?
Number one is hot sauce, yes.
Wow, but that's a very broad number one.
It is a general...
This is a general thing.
Like, I did nuts before.
I did Eli's Top Nuts. And, you know, you can get general thing. Like I did nuts before. I did Eli's top nuts.
And you know,
you can get all sorts of cashews,
can't you now?
Smokehouse cashews,
honey roast cashews,
dry roasted cashews.
It's struggling for air.
Can't you?
It's not.
You're struggling.
This section is choking in a safe.
You are struggling to gain,
to keep your relevance
in this fucking show. That's what it is for. It's like being locked in a safe overnight and are struggling to keep your relevance in this fucking show. This section is like
being locked in a safe overnight and the
panic that sets in. You're struggling to even fucking
operate. When you know there's not enough air to get you through the night.
You are the least inspired
person I've ever met in my life. And they'll find you in the
vault the next morning, dead. Have you got top three?
Beat that. With scratch marks on the door. Beat my top
three. Condiments. Yeah.
What's your top three liquid or sludge
condiments? Alright. Or slightly viscous? Condiments. Yeah. What's your top three liquid or sludge condiments?
Or slightly viscous?
Number three.
Vinegar. I like vinegar.
So you're not going to diverge from what I said.
No, I've got my own choices based on personal preference.
Number two
is mayonnaise. I generally like
mayonnaise on bagels.
I like them with... make a burger.
What's your number one? It better diverge from me.
Well, my number one is a controversial choice.
It's hot sauce.
That's not funny.
It is.
Right.
That's the end of that fucking segment.
HP sauce.
I like brown sauce the most.
Yeah, so where would it go?
Number one.
Yeah, first.
See, that's what I thought.
So be honest, Paul.
There you go.
Brown sauce is good.
Brown sauce is good.
What about mustard?
We're not unmentioning the mustard.
What kind of sauce is brown sauce?
What's it made of?
It's a fruit.
It's based fruity.
It's fruity, yeah.
What kind of fruit, though?
Because it's like a chutney kind of sauce, isn't it?
But without the lumps in it.
It's kind of got...
What flavour is it?
It's like bitter, sour.
No, what is it?
It's fruit.
So it's all those...
Spicy.
Yeah, spiced fruit.
It's a spicy brown fruit sauce.
Yeah, it's a spiced fruit sauce, really.
It doesn't sound as good when you say it like that.
They've got similar sauces in Japan, which are not called the same thing, but they're, yes.
The brown sauce they have.
Brown sauce is very nice, isn't it?
It's similar.
It's the HP sauce variety that I like.
You haven't mentioned barbecue.
It's a whole category.
That's another thing altogether.
I don't want to get involved in barbecue.
Well, there you go.
Yeah.
And then there's mustards, horseradishes, and then there's things like these newcomers,
like the garlic dipping sauces
you get in takeaway pizza places.
I should say to the listener,
Paul is actually discouraged now.
He's actually lost the fake discouragement
that he tries to keep up to actually,
you know, to antagonise me,
to kind of keep the show going.
Now he's just looking around the room.
He doesn't know what to say.
There's my top three.
Thank you very much.
Yeah?
Condiments, Paul.
Get used to it, yeah?
There's going to be condiment chat on this show.
There won't be.
There will be.
There won't be.
I refuse to live in a world where...
It's part of the show.
Condiment chat is part of the show.
It's the single most depressing thought I've had today.
It's an integral part of the show.
Well, if you enjoyed that, listener,
why don't you write in?
My top three, thank you.
Let's just call this podcast...
Cashews.
Eli Silverman's cheap show.
Cashews is my top nut.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I hate you. I hate you so much. I hate me now. No, nut. Yeah. Fucking come on. I hate you.
I hate you so much.
Oh, you hate me now?
No, I love you.
Yeah, well.
I love you.
I want to stroke your perineum with a toothbrush.
Well, that can be arranged.
Certain price.
It's a pricing structure.
Yeah.
It's one of those ones that also has a tongue cleaner on it.
I think 200 quid.
As long as I did it, I could just put a little flap in my trouser
and just reveal the perineum and nothing else.
And then you have to stand at the other side of the room.
Yeah.
With a big, long stick.
With a toothbrush.
Is it a big, long handle from across the room?
Well, it's maybe a piece of bamboo,
but it's got a toothbrush at the end of it.
And I can...
From across the room?
Yeah.
How big?
You can brush my perineum
just like that.
For a minute.
Let's say a minute
and it's 200 quid.
Okay?
These are almost
agreeable terms.
No nudity.
I want it to be filmed.
I want to see the cash.
No, you want it to be filmed.
Yeah, I want documented
truth of it.
No.
I want there to be
a record of it happening.
It doesn't have to go up online.
Well, we can have a witness
who would just pop in.
Pop in.
Take a few pictures.
No, not take a few pictures.
Guinness Book of World Records turns up. You know. Norris McSquirt turns up. We can't a witness who will just pop in. Pop in, take a few pictures. No, not take a few pictures. Guinness Book of World Records turns up.
Norris McSquirt turns up.
You know, we can't get the Guinness Book.
You have to pay them, as you know.
Yeah, to turn up.
We had this thing where we did the longest ever recorded podcast.
I think that's something our listeners wouldn't know about.
But we actually have broadcast for, what, 27 hours?
Yep.
And we went mad.
And you stopped.
You started looking at bus stops.
Well, bus stops was interesting.
Yeah, two in the morning.
At three.
There was stuff going on.
It's a dark time.
The bus is arriving.
What it's called, Paul, is broadcasting.
It's you take what's around you.
Yeah.
And you put that into your broadcast.
Like a Kaiser Soze thing.
Yes.

Like a flump with an erection.

Haunting. Haunting.
It's a big one.
It's a big one. It's a big one, Paul.
It's a big one.
It's a fucking big one.
What are you talking about now?
A big Cheap Eats today.
Is it?
On the show.
Why don't you tell us what we're going to do then?
Well, we are going to try and cover a lot of ground here with this Cheap Eats edition
on the Cheap Show pod.
We're packing a lot in.
With you and me here.
Yes.
We are going to eat a lot of Cheap Eats.
There is a theme and it
is a southeast asian theme a little bit yeah yes so let's with no further ado because we really do
have to pack it in yeah we do have a lot to pack in let's let's compare a couple of what would you
like to start with with the bombay mix let's start with the bombay bombay mix i'm gonna pick it up
here we go this is a bombay Mix pack. It's 99p.
Very exciting.
Suitable for vegetarians.
And it's by a company called Krishna.
Krishna.
As in a deity, I believe, in the Hindu religion.
I believe so.
Yes.
Vegetarian specialty snacks is what Krishna do.
Oh, specifically vegetarian.
Yes.
It's suitable for vegetarians.
It's a crunchy taste and less oil.
Not vegan?
It doesn't say vegan. Let's look for vegetarians. It's a crunchy taste and less oil. Not vegan? It doesn't say vegan.
Let's look at the ingredients.
Let's look at the ingredients.
Now, also, the other thing that appeals to me,
just by the appearance, I should say,
of the Krishna pack,
is it's Bombay mix, and then it says in brackets,
if you'd like to read that out,
mixture of noodles and peas.
Of noodles.
These are noodles. So it's a form of noodles. Mixture of noodles and peas. Of noodles. These are noodles.
So it's a form of noodles.
I feel like I've stumbled into a trap.
Now let's see if it's suitable for vegans.
Yeah.
Gram flour.
Yeah.
Dal, which is lentils.
Sorry, there's someone singing in the front.
We have a ghost.
Green peas.
Chick peas.
Rapeseed oil.
Nice.
Salt.
Mixed spices. Colour E10T and E1110. Peanuts. Right. chickpeas rapeseed oil nice salt mixed spices
colour E10T
and E1110
peanuts
right
so I don't know
how that affects
vegans if you're listening
there are no meat products
there's no whey
there's none of these
sort of things
no whey
yes and there's also
no whey
no whey
there's no whey
apparently our name
has now become
synonymous with quality
and reliability
for over 20 years
what cheap show
Krishna vegetarian specialty snacks so they're bigging up this Bombay mix and what does it look our name has now become synonymous with quality and reliability for over 20 years. What, Cheap Show? Krishna. Oh. Vegetarian
specialty snack. So they're bigging up this Bombay Mix.
And what does it look like?
They've got the window at the bottom of the pack.
You're looking at Bombay Mix.
It's there. Now, you went
through a Bombay Mix sort of
period, didn't you, in your life? I went through a
Bombay Mix mad period of my life.
And you used to have it every day?
Because there was a corner shop near me when I lived in East Finchley
that sold tiny packs of Bombay mix for 48p a pop.
Always had a big handful.
So I'd always have 50p and change,
and I'd buy them and have a little nibble when I got home
with a naughty cigarette and maybe a good old cup of coffee.
Okay.
So he's gone and put a big...
It's just a golden-coloured collection of noodles and peas.
This is very nice, little baby.
Yeah.
That's how I take it myself.
Not too harsh.
It's a warmth.
The heat builds up.
That's what you want, to build up.
The chilli heat builds up.
You know what I mean?
They're very nice. Is that a noodle? Yeah. So basically, it know what I mean? Is that a noodle?
Yes.
So basically, it's a good one.
Is that a noodle?
They're all noodles.
All those cylindrical shapes are noodles.
Is that a noodle?
No, that is a dried lentil of some sort.
Chickpea.
And you've got the dried peas.
But that's a noodle?
Yes, Paul, that's a noodle.
So, and you're not messing. Oh, it's got a proper peas but that's a noodle yes Paul that's a noodle so
and you're not messing
this is
oh it's got a proper kick
is this a noodle
can you
it's not amusing to me
it's got three
I'm not doing stuff
that doesn't amuse me
just because of repetition
you can fuck off
because it looks really thick
it looks more like a biscuit
it's like a three pronged noodle
three pronged noodle attack
yes
stop eating it now and I want some comments from you now Three pronged noodle. Three pronged noodle attack. Yes.
Stop eating it now.
I want some comments from you now.
Is that a noodle?
Stop showing me bits of Bombay mix and saying, is that a noodle?
You're done.
I liked it.
Not too harsh a flavour.
Chilly, but a warmth chilli.
It grows.
It builds.
Yeah.
And you know what?
I always like the dried lentils
and the dried chickpeas
the peas
essential
yeah
and this is Bombay mix
okay Paul
it's none of this new fangle
when they try and fucking
juice it up
by doing
two of my
bogeyman ingredients
right
on Bombay mix
can you guess what they are
raisins
absolute travesty
coconut
also
almost as bad
I like it with coconut though though, to be honest.
You like it? Why?
I like the desiccated coconut taste.
You're an idiot.
You're an idiot.
It's not Bombay Mix, though.
You'd agree.
It's not a proper fucking Bombay Mix.
Well, what is an official Bombay Mix?
I'll tell you.
Should I read it out?
Go on.
It's very simple.
Graham flour, dahl, green peas, chickpeas, rapeseed oil, salt, mixed spices, colour, peanuts.
But what makes it different from the other mixes that you can get?
Different variations.
There's a lot of variations.
Some of them have rice krispies.
This has none of those.
Now, be quiet.
I want to ask you a proper question.
It's an Indian snack, we'd imagine.
Its basis comes from India, right?
Yes.
Popular in the UK as a result of the big Indian culture that lives over here
I think it probably goes back before that to the Empire
yeah true
but is it a snack well known in say Australia
Germany, America
is it a British thing outside of India
I think it probably is
actually yeah
I've never seen it in America
I've never seen it in Florida in the shops
yeah but
in terms of the product
Is this a noodle?
That's not funny
You dick
So that's the Krishna
What would you give that?
Well
I'll give it a good 8 out of 10
That's great
It's not too overwhelming, it's a nice subtle taste
Lots of variety of textures
8 We need to move on Man, that's just great. Yeah. It's not too overwhelming. It's a nice subtle taste. Lots of variety of textures.
Eight.
We need to move on.
So we've got... We've got a very packed show.
We've got lots to fill in.
So let's move on.
We've got another brand of Bombay mix.
Well, obviously...
It's good price, isn't it, wise?
Yeah.
It's both 99p for 225 grams.
How much is that one?
The Krishna is at...
It seems like even more.
How many grams?
It'll be in the bottom right.
275.
Yeah, it's more.
So the Krishna is better value than this.
So Rajbog.
This is Rajbog.
Don't put the fucking Bombay mix near my records, all right?
I have been told.
All right.
So Rajbog.
Now, do you know what you got the brand?
Rajbag or something.
I've never seen this brand before.
I think I've seen Krishna before.
Because when I chose these this morning,
I got them based on how many of them were on the shelf
So these were the two most popular brands
In terms of the amount of variety they had on the shelf
Okay, I'm going to go in
Mate, food
The house of pickles has got a spillage on
Okay, never mind
Right, I'm going to have a noodle
The noodles are softer Yeah Right, I'm going to have a noodle.
The noodles are softer.
Yeah.
Almost tastes like stale.
It's staler, isn't it? It's drier, more clumpy.
It doesn't have that lightness.
It doesn't have the same crunch the noodles need.
Yeah, it doesn't have the crispiness or the lightness.
It's not that bad.
I just think the crispness is better.
It's a bit more muddy.
A bit more earthy flavour.
Maybe the texture of the noodle puts me off.
I think the texture's puts me off.
What is different about the texture?
It's just not as crisp.
The noodles taste crunchy and they snap when you bite them and they crunch.
Whereas those kind of...
The Rajbog isn't as good.
It's just a softer crunch on the noodle.
They seem to actually be spicier as well, the Rajbog.
It's got a slightly more of a tinge to it.
It's got more of a chilli strength on the first bite.
You know what I really like about Bombay Mix?
What?
The little peanuts, little greasy peanuts.
Oh.
With the skin still on.
Come on.
All right, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I like Bombay Mix a lot.
All right. But that is definitely not as good, the Rajbog. No. And also, it's still on. Come on. All right. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I like Bombay mix a lot. All right.
But that is definitely not as good, the Rajamouli.
No.
And also, it's more expensive.
Yeah, that's true.
So I'll give that a seven.
On the cover, it says, too tasty to put down.
Do you agree?
No, I just put it down.
Yeah, I know.
So factually incorrect.
And also doesn't mention the word noodles.
But it's another thing that Krishna has going for it.
True.
Made in the UK. Vegetarian. That. True. Made in the UK, vegetarian.
That's interesting.
Made in the UK, where was this made?
Dagenham.
Dagenham.
Which is in Essex.
So both of them, that is the official Bombay mix mix.
You've got the peas, chickpeas.
It's all in there.
The lentils and three dices of noodle and then peanuts.
That's it, man.
Yeah.
You don't want to be fucking with it.
So both of those get top marks from me.
So what have you given that one? Seven. I'll give it it, man. Yeah. You don't want to be fucking with it. So both of those get top marks from me. So what have you given that one?
Seven.
I'll give it seven as well.
Okay.
Since you asked.
Did we like those Bombay mix?
Yeah, I did.
Would you actually prefer it if it had coconut in?
In all honesty, Paul.
It's not that I prefer it, but if it's in there, it's a nice little bonus.
I don't like raisins.
I agree with you on that.
But if there's coconut in there, I'm like, that's fine.
I'll allow it.
You can live with it it you can live with it
I can live with it

Next up on Cheap Eats,
which we've got a big one.
Don't, no, Paul, don't.
Honestly, stay back.
I'm fucking, I will fucking,
I'll tie you up and then I'll do things
with my genitals in your face.
Let's take a quick break now on Cheap Show
while we follow this through. And we're back.
That was great sex.
We've got something to wash down.
The spicy, spicy Bombay mix.
Spicy hot, hot, spicy.
That we just tried.
And that is iced tea.
Yes.
But you like your iced tea, don't you?
I love an iced tea.
Now, there's something unusual about these iced teas, Paul.
Before we get there, though, a little bit of background.
Okay, you like it.
What's the best brand usually known
in the UK? Lipton's is
the main brand.
It only started a few years ago to actually have
any kind of iced tea in shops. It's not a very
British item, is it?
They drink it on the continent. I think the
Spanish drink it and in America, of course,
it's huge. But only in recent years
have you seen any kind of iced tea in Britain
and I for one
Paul
I'm glad
get away from the Bombay mix
I will fucking
do not ignore me
while I'm
am I coming across as angry
I'm moving the mix
away from the sauce
right
sorry
do you want to pull my pants down
and smack my bottom
no I do not
I'll get it out
no do not get your arse out of there
I'll get my little body out.
Do not do that.
Thank you for supporting us on Patreon for this quality comedy content.
Right, so we're doing drinks and we're doing iced tea.
And Lipton's the best one.
I personally like Charity, which is quite an expensive brand that's come in America.
And they do a mate.
Have you known mate?
No.
It's a Peruvian tea.
And it's like a different kind of tea. Okay. But they do a fizzy one. It's a Peruvian tea, and it's like a different kind of tea.
Okay.
But they do a fizzy one, and it's very nice.
When the moon hits you, I like a big piece of pie.
That's a mate.
That's a mate.
A mate.
Zinga-linga-ling, ninga-linga-ling.
Go on.
So today, the thing about all the other iced teas I've seen is they're non-carbonated.
No, they're flat.
This is fizzy iced tea.
It is made by London Juice Company.
Okay, fair enough.
London Juice Company, Simply Iced Tea.
Right, is this anything special?
No, that's it.
And it is fizzy.
There are three brands we have with us today.
Three flavours?
It's all the same brand?
Three flavours, sorry, yes.
And it has a sort of Taj Mahal-shaped...
It's got an Indian-esque design to it.
I like the design on these.
Yeah, they're all right.
They're nice and colourful.
Very colourful.
So what are the free flavours we've got?
We've got lemon iced tea.
Lemon iced tea.
There he is.
Let's see.
Raspberry iced tea.
Lipton have that as well. And a peach iced tea. These are all brands that Lipton do. Don't put. Raspberry iced tea. Oh. Lipton have that as well.
And a peach iced tea.
These are all brands that Lipton do.
Don't put it on the table.
Sorry.
Fucking well, it's a table.
Yeah.
But it's also got recording equipment on it.
Warriors.
Come out to play.
I get to say it.
Fucking hell.
There's peach, there's cunt.
I don't know.
Right.
So, I've got some ice here, Paul.
Yeah.
I think we should start with the lemon.
Stop banging things on the table.
I don't understand what you don't get about that. Right, down here?
Is that okay down here?
Yes.
I need to...
There's a practical element to this podcast, Paul,
that you're just ignoring with your over- don't touch my popcorns don't touch my mic
why the fuck off i'm gonna kick your face off i'm gonna just gonna can we just get on with
this session yes got a lot to pack in we're gonna start with the lemon iced tea paul yeah it's fizzy
i'll pull some out
now i've had this before i don't know Lemon iced tea, Paul. Yeah. It's fizzy. Pull some out.
Now, I've had this before.
I don't know.
They are basically trying... It's hard making it much more like a soft drink, like a soda.
It's a soda iced tea.
It smells all right.
It smells like lemonade.
Yeah.
It's very sweet.
It's not very fizzy, though.
I will say that.
Oh, he's always...
You're such a fizz Nazi.
Froth is very important to me, Eli. You should know that by now.'re such a fizz Nazi. Froth is very important to me, Eli.
You should know that by now.
He's a fizz Nazi.
So we ate the other day, and I got some food,
and I said, I'll shout Paul a fancy root beer.
So I got this root beer, and I don't know what the company was,
but it was very poor.
Awful, very poor root beer.
British company, though.
We do know that.
So what do you think of that iced tea?
That's all right, actually.
It's quite refreshing.
It's not awful.
It tastes...
Do you know what it actually tastes like to me?
Like a very, very watered-down shandy.
Stop putting things on the fucking table.
Anything else to say?
Yeah, the washing machine's on,
and I can hear it in the background.
There's probably nothing you can do about that.
It's all part of the lovely ambience.
So, he's finished that. That's nice.
Well, we've got two more to taste. I'll have to drink from the same
cup. Disgusting. I'll just
have it from the bottle. You have it from the glass and I'll have it from
the bottle. Alright.
So, what would you say for the first one?
I think that's quite nice. Yeah.
I like something that tastes of tea more and less of
lemon. Yeah. It was more
lemon heavy.
The tea's very much in the background
out of 10
I'd give it 6.5
yeah alright
6.5
yeah
so we're moving on
to flavour number 2
I mean I get in
I like iced tea
with no sugar added
that's what I'm into
okay
like jasmine green
or green
yeah
like Korean or Japanese ones
that's what I really like
that's really refreshing
really
you get the tea
cannon kind of flavour
you get proper tea flavour and it's very refreshing that's what I tea cannon kind of flavour. You get a proper tea flavour
and it's very refreshing. That's what I'm trying to
not drink sugary drinks.
But here we are on the peach flavoured one.
Peach. Awaken your senses, this says.
Simply iced tea peach.
I'm going to let you have the first sip there.
Oh, that's got much more
again, very peachy.
Very little tea.
It's like a peach soda.
It's nice, though.
And weirdly, the fizz makes it feel like you've got a bit of peach in your mouth.
That kind of little fuzzy, fizzy fuzz.
You like that?
A little bit of fuzzy, fizzy froth that I like.
Do you prefer that to like a Lipton's?
It's been a very long while since I've had a Lipton's.
You're not into iced tea, just as a concept, are you?
It's never one of those things I think of when I go, oh, soft drink.
Yeah, I do.
No, that's fair enough.
I do.
Okay.
But that's nice. Peach was nicer than the lemon? Yes. I think of when I go, oh, soft drink. Yeah, I do. No, that's fair enough. I do. Okay.
But that's nice.
Peach was nicer than the lemon?
Yes.
I think so.
I'd definitely drink more of the peach.
What, are you going to go up to a seven?
Or what did you say for the last one?
Seven and a half.
7.5.
Oh.
It's all right, though.
I'd spend, that's 99p.
I'd spend 99p on that.
Yeah, not too bad.
And the last of these, Paul.
Oh.
Is raspberry.
In a packed show, lots to get through. Lots to get through. The last one. And this is the last of these, Paul, is raspberry. Packed show, lots to get through.
Lots to get through.
The last one.
And this is the last of the fizzy iced teas.
Yeah.
Oh, fuck.
Excuse me.
We are very gaseous.
Yeah, we are, aren't we?
Not me.
You just did burp, though.
Yes, but the gas was from the thing.
I'm making an excuse.
That's what I'm saying.
I'm not normally just...
Yeah, ringy dingy dingy doo. A whittly hoo, a diddly doo. You open this saying. I'm not normally just... A-ring-a-ding-a-ding-a-do.
A-whittle-a-hoo, a-diddle-a-doo.
You open this one. I'll open this one.
What do you think about artificial raspberry flavour generally, Paul? Depends on what it is.
Because there is that... I don't know if it's a myth, but there
is a
quite strong indication that
the flavour, the artificial
raspberry flavour, is derived
from a beaver's arsehole
I'm not even joking
I couldn't possibly comment
it's a beaver gland
from a gland
they take an extract
out of a beaver's
never regions
an anus
around his anal gland
he's got squirty glands
in the anus
what does the anal gland do
if it's not the anus
it gives you all squirty stuff
this is why we don't do
travel shows
or wildlife shows
or anything that involves knowledge
it squirts
you know
like sex juice into your arsehole from the inside.
Well, I'm hoping you're taking a sample of that.
So this is raspberry iced tea, simply iced tea.
And this is the last one from the ladder juice cavity.
It does weirdly feel like it should be alcoholic, but it's not.
Maybe it's because it comes in a bottle.
Yeah.
It should be alcoholic, but it's not.
Maybe it's because it comes in a bottle.
Yeah.
It's a strange crossover that I hadn't really envisaged,
but they do do it.
They do do it.
They do fizzy iced tea, don't they?
We've had it.
We've got it on the show.
We're drinking it.
Doing it.
Just drink some.
I'm having some.
Pat show.
No, that's the raspberry one.
No.
No.
I don't know.
Do you want it officially?
No, it just kind of
feels a little bit weak.
No, to me that's got
a kind of
chemically sort of
A little chemically.
It's got a kind of
chemical aftertaste.
Yeah.
The flavours are very artificial.
Most artificial flavour
are of the cleaning fluid.
Yeah, basically.
You know, it does taste like
It's like it's derived
from a beaver's gland.
Oh.
Right.
I'll give that six.
Maybe even 5.5.
5.5.
I was going to say.
So that's been...
Is that it?
That is not it.
No.
Let's move on.
Let's move it on.
And what else you got in the bag there, Paul?
Well, this is a bag that you harvested.
So tell me about your harvest.
Let's stick for the second with Indian and
Southeast Asian ones because we tried before
the catchy mango
bites. An interesting flavour.
Bit grassy, bit juicy, bit fruity.
I liked them. And now we have
Pass Pass
Pulse Guava and
Tangy Twist. Same sort of format sweet
but this is guava instead
of mango. Fascinating thing.
All in their little individual packets,
there's a hard-boiled style sweet.
Why is it called Pulse? Is it just the
brand name? There's a very guavary
smell coming off. Even in
my besnotted
state, Paul, it's
breaking. There's an odour of guava.
There is. There's a strong odour of
guava, and it's not entirely unpleasant, is it?
Are you having some trouble getting the fucking sweet out of the thing there?
No, I'm done.
Oh.
Oh.
What an interesting flavour.
Guava.
Yeah.
It's almost got a spice element to it.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Mr. Smitty. Oh, no. Mr. Spitty.
Mr. Spitty, here you go, Paul.
Are you going to have to spit out?
Are you spitting out?
I'm going to go, Paul.
I wasn't expecting that, ladies and gentlemen, today.
I'm going to bite down on my...
He really doesn't.
Paul does not like that.
Oh, God.
That is...
Oh, God.
Oh, mate.
I've got tissue.
Paul.
For fuck's sake, Paul.
I know it's a dirty room,
but look, you're dripping saliva
from your hands, man. I've got tissue. Oh, God. I know it's a dirty room, but look, you're dripping saliva from your hands, man.
That's not tissue.
Oh, God.
There's saliva on the floor.
That was the most disgusting fucking thing
I've ever put in my mouth.
I'm still trying to enjoy mine.
Have you spit it into it yet?
I'm going to do that now.
It's quite a pleasant guava taste.
Bite into it.
Oh. It's quite a pleasant guava taste. Bite into it.
They're off.
They're off or something.
There's egg.
There's a sulphury egg.
Oh God.
They're actually off in the inside, I think.
It was a little release of pure egg.
Oh, that's... Sorry.
That really was bad.
They had egg inside.
Right, let's move on.
Can you pass me any one of the...
Can you pass me the peach drink, please?
Yeah.
I hope we're not poisoned.
It was an egg-y guava egg surprise.
That was a bad twist
so let's just
we just say zero
oh god
it started off quite nice
the outside
acceptable
and then
it went egg
that's sulfuric
eggy
I don't know if that's
what the men are taste of
or they're off or something
what's the last thing
please don't let that be off
no that's
that's not
that's not the last thing yet Paul
god we've been doing this
for fucking ever.
Just try not to fucking almost vomit and puke all over the floor.
And spit on the floor.
No promises.
That was a really harsh experience.
Very nice.
E.Widdle, since 1851, has been making these.
What was the name?
E.Widdle.
They manufacture, these are posh Jaffa
cakes. Raspberry flavoured Jaffa cakes.
It's the original Weddle chocolate
sponge cakes with raspberry jelly
in dark chocolate.
These are posh-arsed Jaffas.
Are they? Yeah.
It's dark chocolate for one.
Oh God, I've got that egg sort of rattling
around. It's lingering. I'm going to have a sip of something.
Have a sip, it helps.
Wash the egg man away.
These are really nice though, Paul.
Have it.
There you go.
Describe that.
It looks like a Jaffa cake, my friend.
Does it look exactly like a Jaffa cake?
Yeah, pretty much.
It lacks a little bit of texture.
Look, it's got nice posh writing on the bottom.
Do you want me to explain or are you just going to talk over me?
Because you don't listen.
Go on, go on.
Looks like a Jaffa cake it's got less design
on the top
so it's a bit flat on top
instead of the chocolate
draping on the
jam beneath
it's less trellised
it's also got
E. Weddle
or Weddle
or Weddle
tattooed on it
in a kind of
branded way
trademark
very good detailing
on the branding isn't it
you can really make out
the letters
nice touch let's just go ahead and bite it that's not bad Branded well, yeah. Trademark. Very good detailing on the branding, isn't it? You can really make out the letters. Nice touch.
Let's just go ahead and bite it.
That's not bad.
Not bad.
The raspberry flavour, it's a bit stewed.
Do you know what I mean?
It's like a bit sort of like in a fruit cake.
Yeah.
It's got that kind of fruit cakey.
Like caramelised too much.
Not like a fresh raspberry flavour.
No.
Like a sort of concentrated... You know what I'm getting at? Like Not like a fresh raspberry flavour. No. Like a sort of concentrated...
You know what I'm getting at?
Like cakey sort of raspberry flavour.
It's all right.
I like that.
I'm not that keen.
It's actually the...
I like the dark chocolate.
It's the biscuit that I don't like.
The sponge is a bit too...
A bit too...
Powdery.
Yeah.
A little bit too crumbly for my liking.
I do quite like that.
That's fine, though.
That's great.
That's great.
Six out of ten for me for that. Really? Is that it? Yeah. I'm going to go 7.5 do quite like those. That's fine, though. That's great. That's great. Six out of ten for me for that.
Oh, really?
Is that it?
Yeah.
I'm going to go 7.5.
Oh, okay, well.
Weddle, e-weddle.
Oh, yeah.
Right now, Paul.
Oh, mate, how much more?
I can't fucking take this.
We said it was going to be a big one, didn't we?
Yeah, but Jesus.
Now, this is a snack that I've enjoyed recently quite a lot.
Oh, God.
I feel like I've been poisoned.
I feel like I've been given a sugar high.
This is a bespoke thing that I've been getting in the shop in Chinatown.
Adrian's Delicacies make these, and they're very DIY, aren't they?
Because they have...
They don't look cheap eat to me.
They're £1.85 for a whole of that.
That's not cheap eat.
You can taste these garlic peanuts if it's the last thing you do.
These will not make you retch.
These are very nice.
So you get peanuts and salt, oil, garlic, MSG.
So they're very, very, very nice and umami.
But also bad for you.
No, MSG has been cleared.
Oh, has it?
It doesn't give you headaches.
I didn't know that.
It just makes it more umami.
It is the essence of umami.
Yeah, but I thought it was just like bad for your cholesterol or something.
Have some of those.
Okay.
Very greasy.
Yeah, they're all right.
Now, the good thing about those
because unfortunately I ate it all out.
Yeah.
Is you get little bits of deep fried garlic,
crunchy deep fried garlic in there.
I'm sorry they're all gone,
so you can't really give that a score.
But let me just say nine.
Nine for Adrian's garlic peanuts.
7.5 for me.
Not even fucking listening.
Look at him.
7.5, yeah?
I did listen.
Horrible food.
That's cheap eats then, is it?
Is that anything else?
I've got nothing else.
You know what else can we take?
Hot sauces?
Ooh.
Ooh.
I'm giving him a food. My top condiment. I've given him a food...
My top condiment.
I've given you a food bonk on.
Yeah, top condiment there, mate.
No, it's all right.
I think we'll do.
That's enough food.
I think I've had a really weird...
I mean, that egg thing was weird.
I'm sorry.
I did not plan that, Paul.
I know you didn't.
By your reaction, I realised.
I thought you were overreacting,
and then I bit into it.
And then you realised.
The heart of eggness.
I entered the heart of eggness.
The heart of eggness.
You're right
fucking did
fuck me
but those garlic
honestly
those off
slamming things
on the fucking table
sorry Paul
dismal
my life's dismal
yeah it is
and it deserves to be
fuck you
deserves to be
here comes my fucking friend
my only friend on the podcast
yeah
Jane
hello hey Dean how you doing no no Deserves to be. Here comes my fucking friend, my only friend on the podcast. Yeah. Jane. Hello.
Hey, Jane, how you doing?
No, no.
I'm Jimmy Biscuits and I come from the past with all the things you remember that you like.
Hey, do you remember...
I remember when you...
We're not putting that gag in.
We're not putting that gag in.
I remember when Jimmy Biscuits, as well as breathing.
In fact, the reason that Jane, me, that is,
has this breathing problem is...
That is not being left in the episode.
Just not putting that in the episode.
Fucking fine.
That's disgusting.
I know what Jimmy Biscuits is up to.
No, he's not up to anything.
I know what he's up to. Nostalgia,
yeah, it's great. Fucking...
Don't come round here.
I'm angry.
Jimmy Biscuits just want to say he's been
misrepresented by the press.
That was an eggy look. I think it has gone off.
I don't want to look at that. It's gross. That is
nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty. So that was, I thought that was
on the whole, quite a good episode of Cheap Eats.
That was a packed rollercoaster.
Now, I'd just like to say on the Bombay mix topic,
we should taste, because there are, and I noticed here,
a lot of different legitimate mix profiles that have different names.
And on the Rajbog, they have listed...
There's one called Sev.
Yeah.
Spicy Sev. Yeah. Spicy Sev. Yeah.
Sev Mumra.
Mumra? Thundercats?
Yeah, literally. It's Sev Mumra, yeah.
Thundercats!
Boondi.
Mate. Excuse me.
Masala Boondi. Nylon Sev.
Ha!
That sounds like a
fucking great band name. Nylon Sev. Yeah, What? That sounds like a fucking great band name.
Nylon Sev.
Yeah, man.
Yeah, maybe.
Fucking excellent.
Nylon Sev, Paul.
Fuli Githaya.
Tikka Githaya.
Did you see me?
Then they've got Bombay Mix.
These are gam.
They've got some fucking extensive range of tasty snacks.
I'm telling you that right now.
Lentils.
There's lentil ones.
Mate, this is the most detailed breakdown of all the snacks I've ever seen.
It's boring.
Perhaps that's why Rajbog is more expensive.
You get a lot of detail and information about the snacks there.
Stop being Bombay mix boring.
Right.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Good.
What do you prefer?
Some sweets.
Some English sweets.
No, I like Bombay mix.
Yeah.
With Union Jack on.
Fuck off.
In your underpants.
Just shut up now.
Shitty underpants.
Shut up.
We're done for half an hour
and ending this segment.
Say sorry.
I'm not saying sorry
for anything
apart from that egg thing.
Can you wash out that your...
You do it.
Do it.
Wash out my mouth grumble. I'm not washing your
mouth grumble. You fucking do it.
I'm ready. Are you ready?
Because it's time for one of my... I just said.
I mean, how stupid is that? Three seconds.
And you got contentious.
You're such a little
grotty, miserable, soiled.
You're going to be nice.
I've given up.
Why?
I put so much love into this.
I craft this show with my own two hands.
And you walk in and you walk up.
I don't walk in anyway.
You walk in and you walk up.
This is my room.
You walked in here.
I walk in and you walk up to this room.
And you're all Mr. Attitude.
walk up to this room and you're all Mr Attitude.
Mr Highfalutin
Don Tootin
Yosemite Sam Scum.
Today on Cheap Show
we're going to play Scoop.
We're going to play a board game called
Scoop. It's Scoop everyone. And Paul
has been collecting the board games and this is
a bit of a coup and this is one of the most interesting ones
you've brought into the studio.
As far as I'm concerned Paul, okay. As far as I'm concerned, Paul,
as far as I'm speaking, I don't know why I'm
talking like this, but it doesn't matter. I don't know, but it's condescending.
Yeah, so I like this.
It's a 1940s version.
I'll tell you the fact, it's called
Scoop. This is released by
Waddington, which was the
company that released a lot of popular games back
then, like Cluedo and I believe Monopoly
back in the day.
I know it's all bought by Hasbro now.
Did they have Scrabble, Waddingtons at one stage?
Maybe. I honestly don't know.
1953 was the year this was first published.
And I think this version is the 50s version of it.
It must be.
I mean, it could easily date back as far as there being a first edition, couldn't it?
Yeah.
1953.
It's very much got that vintage look to it.
Oh, it's a beautiful looking game.
It's a very complete set, I have to say, Paul.
I'm quite impressed.
It's a bit aged and a bit battered,
but ultimately, it's in really good condition.
It comes with this editor's phone,
which we'll go into later,
but it's a little cardboard bit of magic
that you pull a little dial
and it changes the cardboard reply that you get
depending on the number that you call
on this cardboard phone thing.
Yes.
And that's still got its handle
because you can imagine that breaking very easily.
Very easily.
I mean, there's a little bit of damage
to the handle on the paper, but, you know.
It's still attached.
It's still attached.
It still works.
It's still fine.
It's got that nice 50s musty style to it.
Now, just sum up the game.
Just sum it up, okay?
Scoop, the object
is to completely fill the blank page of a newspaper
with stories and advertisements of
as high a value as possible.
You get a choice of five papers of the times to play
so you can choose from the Daily Chronicle, the Telegraph,
the Times, the Daily Express and the Daily
Sketch are represented.
This is a little bit different I think because I think they're
talking about the American version and this is the British version.
So I say what's...
Yeah, have a look at what cards we've got.
The papers that we've got here.
Yeah.
News Chronicle.
Don't remember that.
Daily Express.
Yeah, still around.
Daily Mail.
Boo!
Still there.
Daily Fail, am I right?
And the Daily Telegraph.
There you go.
We've got four.
Four to choose from.
There should be five, did it say?
One, two, three, four.
Well, there's five here, but maybe one's missing.
Will that affect the game and our ability to play it?
Are you sure, Paul?
Yeah, because only me and you and me pick one card each.
I might just give up now.
I might just give up.
Well, thank you for listening to Cheap Show, then.
Because Eli doesn't want to get his ass handed to him again.
So we have to fill the page with stories.
And how do you get them?
Well, let's find out.
The total value of the full page can vary considerably
according to the individual totals
marked on the back of each story card
that you pick up.
You can't have a look at them
until you put them in.
That's part of the thing.
No, because they have values on, so you know how much the story's worth.
So you take from the top when you have to grab one.
And then you keep it a secret until the end.
Or until the timer runs out
as we'll be playing it.
Okay. So we're
playing. Players? News editors.
Basically we play the role of news editors.
It's a role playing news player.
But you fill the pages up with these story cards.
It's weird. This is a time when it was sort of
glamorous. Because you wouldn't think
of that now.
It being a glamorous job.
Well the idea is, in this, it's more of a card game, really.
So the idea is, players need to collect or buy
three cards that show a reporter, a photographer,
and a telephone card.
When you collect all three, a call is made
to the cardboard telephone to the editor,
the thing I was showing you there,
and then based on the number on the front of the card,
you dial that, and then it comes up with,
if you can press ahead with it and add it to your page,
or whether you don't get the chance to
and you have to throw it back into the pile.
Things of that nature.
Stop looking at me as if I'm about to fuck this explanation up
when I'm basically reading it off this website.
Let's just get going.
No.
If approved, the player takes the top card from the story deck
and places it on the newspaper page,
and then that's it.
It gets a little bit more complicated,
but we'll try and play a reasonably
simplified version.
Do you have the rules? Yeah, they're right here.
Well, we have to follow the rules. Yeah, we will.
That was just from BoardGameGeek, the website.
Because there's things like...
Okay, so let's just pick a card first. Pick one
of the front pages. Who do you want to be?
Well, the News Chronicle.
I hope that wasn't a Nazi one. And I'll be the
bad guys. I'll be the Daily Fail.
Am I right, listeners?
We hate the poor.
Kill people of colour.
Don't trust Johnny Foreigner.
Isn't the Queen nice?
Yeah, very broad satire of the Daily Mail.
Theresa May's got great legs and a perfect pair of tits.
Right, that was wrong in so many ways.
Okay.
You're the male
Would you have sex with Theresa May?
Are you asking me as a serious question?
Yeah
There's a pricing structure to this
Is there?
Endeavour, yeah
Let's just say
She gets blackmailed
And it's like
It's a bit like that Black Mirror episode
Where instead of fucking a pig
She has to fuck you
On TV
Well, what am I getting out of this?
Millions
Yes Yeah? I would do it for a million quid Yeah, but Well, what am I getting out of this? Millions. Yes.
Yeah?
I would do it for a million quid.
Yeah, but you'd be...
Do I have to be erect?
Could they give me some drugs for that?
Well, we're moving on.
Let's play Scoop.
So, you've picked the front page.
News Chronicle.
Daily Mail.
We've both been given the bank money in the game.
You've got a pile just there.
Oh, I didn't see that.
That is $2,500.
Loads of money.
Simples. Loads of money. Loads of money.
Simples.
100, 200, 300,
400, 500, 600,
700, 800, like this,
900, 100,
1100, 1200,
1300, did I say that?
1400, 1500,
1600, 1700,400. 1,500. 1,600.
1,700.
1,800.
1,900.
1,200.
I've got 2,500.
That's how much you should have.
Yeah?
Yeah?
Yeah.
Good.
What this?
I steal your money, do I?
No.
What do we use the money to pay for?
Stories?
Stories and bits and bobs.
You've opened it up.
There are flaps at the side of this.
I'm opening my flaps, Paul.
Now, on the flaps, you've got two sides, right?
Oh, I've got to get this, lay this out.
You can put it on your bed.
You'll be fine.
We're in.
How long till estimated game kick-off time, Paul?
Soon.
Right?
I've got my money.
I've got my paper news thing.
Now do I start picking cards?
Yes. What cards do I need to pick right okay so here we go each player makes a telephone call to any blah blah blah yeah
now that's the part of the girl could you read it out if it is a rule that i need to know because
you know so it's just telling me that these cards need to be face up so the value is face down so
you can't see how much they are because you have to take them from the top each time. Okay, and there are four different kinds of cards there.
They correspond to these gaps on your page.
So you need to fill...
General story, two general stories.
Yep.
Two crime stories, two ads at the bottom.
Star stories in the middle.
And there is a triple star story.
Tell me about that, Paul.
So that whole middle column is for three star stories.
Now, three star stories just mean they're the most prized stories.
Triple star stories.
What did I say?
Three star.
Same difference.
The triple star stories are quite highly valued, right?
But you can fill it up with either one big story and two small,
or four small,
or two big stories. Or one triple
star. Triple star story. Yeah.
Shit!
He
spilt his drink, ladies and gentlemen.
Oh, fuck.
Not funny.
It is, though. Now he's going to have to go
to Mount Groppant
and find some wayward...
Oh, that's a big spillage.
It's all over my cables.
I'm not happy about this.
Give my cables a wipe.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I can only apologise for this.
This is our...
This is our Someone Calls Up Five Star.
It's melting the Bombay mix.
Save the Bombay mix. Save the Bombay mix.
Okay, that'll have to do the interim port.
Now I've got a very, very sticky cable.
Sticky cable.
It's all wet.
It's all wet.
Well, it'll dry out.
It's all wet now.
You've got, look at this.
Look what you've made me do.
Fine, okay?
I'm ready to play.
This room's a disgrace.
I'm ready to play.
So I pick cards and we try and put them in there
that's it
rules
each player takes a newspaper blank
and places it in front of him
we've done that
to the left flap
you get type of form
in the absence
that means if you've got any cards
you want to keep hold of
and not trade
you can put them in those gaps
however that means
I do know what you have in your hand
and I can steal those
if I want to
if the rule says I can
right
the right hand side flap
is just where you
theoretically put your money
you don't have to it's just there your money. You don't have to.
It's just there, alright?
The middle part...
Don't you...
You don't have to put it
on that flap.
It's just a place where you could.
Can I, like, stick it in my vest?
No, it's not touching your body,
you filth.
Right.
Each player makes a phone call
to any number of his choice.
And the first player
to obtain a triple star
is the dealer.
So we can play with this thing
or me and you can just decide which one wants to be the cash dealer.
Do you want to do it?
I'll deal the cash.
I've worked in a casino.
Yeah, but not a newspaper.
Yeah, but I'm handling the cash, right?
Yeah, you are.
So that means that cash in those stories on that table.
I'll handle it.
Right.
We'll just skip that.
And now we've decided you're the dealer.
I'm the dealer.
Right.
Right.
The dealer shuffles the pack of scoop cards and deals three cards. Oh, I've got the scoop cards. Very nice. Do you want to open one up at random and just see what's on the back? I've the dealer. Right. Right. The dealer shuffles the pack of scoop cards and deals three cards.
Oh, I've got the scoop cards.
Very nice.
Do you want to open one up at random and just see what's on the back?
I've got one.
It just says photographer.
Yeah.
Another one says telephone and a number.
There we go.
A three-digit number.
And that's what numbers used to be, didn't they, Paul, when the phones started to come
out?
Corn Birkenhead 363.
Yeah.
London, two double one.
Imagine that, only having to remember three numbers.
These days, you don't have to remember numbers at all, because you just
pre-program it into your phone, and then
when you lose your phone, you're in the woods in the middle of the night
and you find a payphone, you can't go home, because you go,
what's my mum's number? Oh, no.
And then you hear the man in the background go,
I'm coming to get you. I think I'd go for 999,
Paul, I still know that one.
What's that?
What do you mean? What's that?
No, fuck off.
999.
Stop doing your cards anyway.
I've shuffled the cards.
They're very truly shuffled.
Now he says, I'll deal with you some.
Deal three cards face down to each player.
This is good because there's all this equipment in the way.
Don't put it there.
You can just fucking...
I have to deal them.
Just listen.
All right Alright go on
You're being a prick about this
You want to play games
Let's play games
Yeah we are
But you're making a fucking
There's three cards
Right good
You're making a shit out of it
You're making it shit
I've got my three cards
Do I look at those?
Hang on
I don't know
We're going through
I did have a little
Read of this beforehand
And think
It's still worth going through
The rest of the playing cards
Are placed face down
In the centre of the table,
so just put them there.
Just put them there.
Put them there.
That's going to be problematic.
But it's easier for us both to reach than me behind there.
You know what?
You're a fucking menace.
They're there.
If you didn't live in such squalid filth, maybe we'd have more space to play.
If you didn't have all sorts of wires going around everywhere.
At this point, there are no discard pile,
but I imagine any cards dealt back into the thing
will be next to that.
Yes.
All right.
Okay.
The first player to discard
puts his discard alongside.
Yeah.
Discard pile is then.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So sticks rules about that card.
Each player takes 2,500.
Yeah.
We've got that.
Okay.
To obtain a story,
a player must collect three cards
according to the indication
on the story space on your newspaper blank. So if you look at it, see general story, a player must collect three cards according to the indication on the story space on your newspaper blank.
So if you look at it, see general story, the red dot, it means you have to get a general reporter, a photographer, or a telephone card in your hand.
Okay.
And you then trade those three in for a story.
You have to get three of them?
Yeah, in your hand to trade in for the cards over there.
Yeah?
Yeah.
To obtain a story, the player must collect three cards according on the indication...
Yeah, who doesn't that?
An advert is similar,
but you must have space salesman,
artist, and advertiser's approval,
and then the same process happens
with the editor machine over there.
Triple star stories could only be obtained
by a telephone decision.
So that means you may collect enough
for a story, right?
Yeah.
Pay attention.
But if you dial on the phone
and it says three star story,
you can get one of those instead then.
That's how you get it. That's how you bump it up.
Alright. Alright? Yeah. If a player
is telephoning for a decision on a story and gets the
triple star signal, he gets to pick a triple
star story and place it on his front page.
At a player's turn, he may,
after examining his cards,
do one of the following. Change a card.
First by throwing away, and then taking one from the top of the stockpile.
Costs nothing to do that, right?
Yeah.
Draw a card.
Sorry?
You can draw one from the top.
Yeah.
One out, one in.
Yeah.
Put one or two cards out of hand on the Ab-
Ab-

You can store them there in the type, form and abeyance.
And buy one or two cards for £100 each from the stockpile.
So let's just say you put two cards down in that space.
And I can buy more.
You can spend...
How much, say?
I think it only allows you to pick one or two.
How many you put down, you can only replace.
So you only have three in your hand at one time.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So far, making sense.
You have to buy more if you put them in there.
Yeah.
So even if you then get a hand, you have to wait to your next turn to get that hand in.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Once cards have been placed in abbeyance, they cannot be moved until they form part of the qualifying set of cards.
Type before me in abbeyance.
Yeah.
So you can't play any of those cards until you have the third one that fills them out.
I have to have a set of three?
Yeah.
Before I play it?
Yeah.
Fine.
To claim a story advertisement.
If the player's got all the three necessary cards,
he may claim a story.
And then that's when you look at the number on that story,
which it tells you.
Yeah, okay.
So when you get your telephone card for your hand,
that has the number on,
which tells you what number to dial
I'm reading the rules out
I know it's very dry and not very funny
But you're just sitting there
Vagaring away
Vagaring away
Right
Christ
The three cards may be made up in any of the following
As explained in rule four
If your favourable decision is obtain with a story editor,
you can pick up that card free of charge.
But if the decision is unfavourable,
he may make up his hand
by buying cards from the pack
to make up his loss.
So let's just say you hand all three in
and the editor says,
no, you can't run the story.
You lose those three cards
and then you have to pay 300.
What if I run out of money?
Then your game's over
and then we judge who's got the most money
based on the stories they have on their page.
Okay.
Yeah?
Yeah?
All right.
Bankruptcy, funnily enough.
If a player becomes bankrupt at any stage of the game,
he must turn over all the copy on his newspaper blank
and allow any player...
Oh, he can sell his cards, basically.
Yeah, it's not the end of the game.
So what you said before was wrong.
Yeah.
Okay.
So maybe the game plays until you fill out the whole page
and the first person who fills it out wins.
Yes.
But we're going to put a time limit.
We're going to put a time limit on this.
And then that's basically the story, basically.
There's a scoop on scoop.
That's it.
That's the scoop on scoop.
Thank you, Paul.
Are we ready?
That was dry.
But at least you're fucking happy now with the rules, right?
Let's dampen this podcast.
Wet it up.
Let me get my clock out.
Pour your jism on me.
Timer.
20 minutes, 25, 30.
Oil my crotch.
Shut up.
How many minutes do you want to play this for?
How long?
20.
Yeah?
Mate.
I've lost it.
It's a hot house in here.
It is a fucking hot day in the house of pickles.
You witter on for fucking hours.
Spit something out.
Don't come over
here. Do not...
Don't stop. Don't
whisper. You always complain about the pool.
The rules.
The rules.
And I gave you
the rules and you reasonably understand.
Alright, okay. Yeah. Go back to your part of the room. Because I'll do damage and I gave you the rules and you reasonably understand alright ok yeah
go back
to your part of the room
because I'll do damage to you
oh really
with your knob
no
would you tear me a new arsehole
no
in through my belly button
that'd be bad
no
do you have a ring of razors
on your cock crown
what I'll do is
I'll make you swallow
would you cave in my stomach
what I'll do is I'll make you swallow oh what you cave in my stomach? What I'll do is I'll make you swallow
the string. Oh, what?
Oh, then take it out of my arse.
Floss me. Will you floss me like
a big flossed pig? No.
Floss me like a pig.
Paul, let's play Scoop. Let's play
Scoop. Yes. Start
the clock.
Play Scoop.
Yes.
Start the clock.
Right, here we go.
So do you want to go first then?
All right.
So let's have a look at our hands.
Let's have a look at what I've got.
What do I need for my story?
You need three of something, yeah?
So I either need a general report, a photographer.
Okay, so what does... Oh, that's an advertiser's thing.
So I've got...
I'm going to draw one.
Photographer.
All right.
Am I going?
Yeah, hang on.
Photographer.
Yeah, all right. I know what I'm going to do
you're going to draw one, swap one
you've got to put one down first before you pick one up
that's the risk, that's the game
otherwise you'll know
I'm going to put two down on mine
I've got two here
it's not your turn
wait your turn
and watch me do my thing first
I'm going to put two down in the aforementioned abbeyans.
Mr Grimsdale.
And then I pay...
200.
Into the bank.
Which is over there.
I'm just putting it there for now.
Right.
I'm running the bank, yeah?
Yeah.
Into the ground.
I've got the funds.
Tuppence.
Yeah.
This is for my cocaine addiction, okay?
Right.
To be specific in the...
And then I pull two.
You pull two out.
And that's it. That's your hand.
I...
How many cards have you got now? Three.
I'm going to put down two cards
myself. Which cards?
My telephone and photographer card.
Because it's hanging off the end of the table.
My flap is hanging off the table.
Yeah, so how are you going to get it on?
How are you going to get your cards on your flap?
There we go.
Well thought out.
My cards are now on the flap.
You've got two telephones?
No, I don't have...
That's a photographer.
They have to match, Paul.
They do.
No, they don't.
It's two of one hand.
So I'm putting telephone and photographer down there.
Have you put two telephone down? Yeah. You fucking idiot. You don't need to. You don't. It's two of one hand. So I'm putting telephone and photographer down there. Have you put two telephone down?
You fucking idiot.
You don't need to.
You don't.
You need to.
I take it back.
No, you fucked it.
No, I'm not.
You fucked it.
You fucked it, dickhead.
I have not fucked it.
You fucked it, so you can't swap it.
That was a mistake you made, and I gave you the rules,
and you weren't listening, as I knew you fucking weren't.
So now you fucked it.
No.
You fucked it.
Let's stop.
You have fucked it.
I'm going to walk out.
No, you can't, because you fucked it. I can You've fucked it. Let's stop. You have fucked it. I'm going to walk out. No, you can't,
because you've fucked it.
I can't continue.
Anyway.
It's going to cause more problems.
I'm going to call,
no, you've had your go.
Put your cards back down there.
I can't make a hand with these.
You can take one out
and replace it, though,
in your next go.
You fucked it.
You weren't listening,
like I knew,
and I get the last laugh
and the first.
It's because it was deeply boring.
Anyway, I've put two down.
I'm paying two. Pay the money. Thank you. I'm paying two to the bank, and I get the last laugh and the first. It's because it was deeply boring. Anyway, I've put two down and I'm paying two
Pay the money.
Thank you.
to the bank
and I'm taking two
from the top.
I'm just going to
nick the money.
It goes in there.
It goes back in the bank.
I am the bank.
You can't fucking
give yourself money
that I give.
You have to put that
to four grand.
Alright, alright.
It's going over there.
It's back in the bank.
Fucking have you.
Stop, listen. I'm going to fucking have It's back in the bank. Fuck. Stop.
Listen.
I'm going to fuck you.
Don't.
Don't.
Cheat.
Don't crunch the...
You're cheating.
Don't crunch the Bombay mix into the floor.
Sorry, I don't want to make a mess in the house of pickles.
Well, yes.
Anyway.
I have now got three cards.
What have I got?
What have I got?
What have I got?
What have I got?
I've got...
Oh, hang on.
I've got...
Oh, hang on.
Right, good.
Poker face.
That's not a face anyone wants to see.
Is it my go?
It is your go.
Now you have to make up for your mistake in the last one.
So there you go.
You're going to have to trade at least one telephone now, aren't you?
Because most of the stories that you need need a telephone card.
Where's the discard?
What do you mean?
There needs to be a discard pile.
It's just a pile next to it.
Yeah, when you put a card down, you put it next to it.
Have you been putting it back on the top?
Yeah.
I did it by mistake.
There's one.
Okay, now then.
You fucking useless gobsight.
Can I take the discard pile?
No, you can't.
You were not listening, Mr. Silverman, and I'm going to smack your bottom.
Replace one of your cards.
You're going to have to, and that's your go.
What are these?
Yeah. You have to put it back in your go. One of these? Yeah.
You have to put it back in the discard pile, and then pay to replace it.
Yeah, go on, put it in the bank.
Fucking shut up, this is like fucking not fun at all.
Yeah, because you fucked up because you weren't listening.
Right, done my go.
Good, it's my go now, and guess what?
I have, thanks to this card, I have telephone, photographer and star reporter,
which means I'm eligible for a three-star story, ladies and gentlemen.
That's what I'm eligible for.
But the number on the card I have to dial.
Triple star.
634 is the number I have to dial.
So let's get the phone out, little cardboard phone.
It's been reset to the far right, like the Daily Mail.
Am I right, listeners?
Here we go.
What number is it?
634, which is...
Are you happy with me moving it to that spot
on the cardboard thing?
I pull the knob.
I slide it to 634.
You've gone too far.
You're cheating.
I haven't.
Stuart says gone too far.
What does it say?
See, that's why you're having the problem
because you went too far.
Have some precision, Paul,
in your movements, yeah?
Have some fucking nuance, yeah?
What does it say? It's not on the thing properly.
Yes, because you did it wrong.
It says, okay. Okay.
Your story has been passed for publication.
Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho! So now,
I get to pick a triple star story.
Now, hmm, hmm.
So what are your options? You can get two star stories.
I'm going to get a small one. I'm going to try and do small, small, big star story.
You only get one.
That's not it.
They're there.
It says star story on it in green, you twat.
Yeah.
All right, I'll pick it.
Do you want to know what the story's called?
Oh.
Rugby player fell asleep during the game.
Ken Blizzard, international famous rugby league wing three-quarter,
is to believe have been doped in the third round of the Rugby League Cup game.
The police think a drug may have been administered while Mr.
Blizzard was pushing his way through a crowd of autograph hunters outside his dressing
room.
He complained of a scratch he received to the wrist.
Blizzard, it will be remembered, collapsed into a deep sleep 20 minutes before the end
of the game after completing at halftime after he felt feeling dozy.
He was revived after a drink.
You really didn't read that very well.
It's not fucking story time.
That's terrible.
What's the point of that?
Just a story.
It wasn't a very good one, was it?
It's a fictional...
Right, shut up.
Anyway, now I've got to pay
a hundred for a new card, so...
Put it in the bank.
And I take one from the top.
Right?
What about the discard?
They're now in there.
Right?
Alright.
Your go.
13 minutes left.
Oh, come on.
What are you going to do?
Do you have enough to make a hand?
Do you have enough to make a hand?
You have photographer.
You have telephone.
You need what?
Star reporter.
Or crime reporter.
I've got a star reporter here.
Have you?
Yeah.
Well, there you go.
You can now throw that down
and then trade it in for a story.
I don't draw.
I just trade it in.
No, in your next round
you can now hand that in.
But now I need to pull one out.
Yeah.
So you need to pay £100
for a story.
And then draw one.
Take a card.
Where does the discard?
What goes on the discard?
None yet.
Because you just have to hold a three in.
Because on your next go,
you're going to trade that in for a story.
Right?
Yeah.
Good.
My go.
What have I got?
Oh, dear.
So I'm going to put...

On the card, four three stars.
Congratulations.
Oh.
Your story given three star status.
That's amazing.
That means you get the narrow one.
Give us it.
What's your story?
Okay, Paul, the story today, a robot bricklayer builds two-hour house.
Okay.
A revolutionary building machine, a robot bricklayer,
has been successfully tested under conditions of stricter secrecy
on a site in the works yard of the Prem and Constructural Machinery Company, Lawston.
This is not being read very well.
The mechanic...
The mechanic... The machine, automatically fed with bricks from a giant brick magazine,
built up the complete brickwork of a standard three-bedroom bay-windowed house in two hours.
How long's this story? Because I'm not particularly enamoured with this.
It operates on a set of rails laid at a predetermined distance from the wall elevation
and following the basic contour of the house.
Moving rapidly along the rails, the machine has a chute down which the bricks are rapidly fed into position.
Fucking hell.
Mortared, trimmed and definitely tapped into perfect line by a device at the end of the chute.
The machine automatically resets itself for the staggering of the brickwork
after laying a line of bricks and also adjusts its height as the walls grow.
A Bricklayers Union official said today,
and Justice Hyde as the walls glow
and Bricklayer's
union official
said today
time alone
can test the machine
if it may be seen
by the
and the award
for Oscar
goes to
right good
put it on your page
it's on
am I doing better
than you
I don't know yet
we'll find out
at the end of the game
yeah you put it there
right so good
I've caught up
ladies and gentlemen now you pay £300 to take three cards.
Fuck that.
No, you have to.
That's the game.
There you go.
Cool.
Take three cards from the top.
Okay.
There we go.
Just for the players at home,
I've got a crime reporter card,
a general reporter card,
and a telephone card.
Okay, in my go, I'm going to take out,
I'm going to pay to put these two down.
Let's see. I'm going to put phone
and general story.
I want to see 200 quid going into the bank.
They are. They're going into the bank. One, two,
a clean, a clean
exchange. Two in,
two out.
Yeah. Happy? Happy with that?
Yeah.
Oh!
I don't know what the scoop card does
oh fuck
that's the name of the game
you don't even know that
oh god
what does the scoop card do
we'll find out
does it end it
with Eli as the winner
no
scoop cards
these cards
are very valuable
for the following reason
if a player holding a scoop card
sees another player
in his
Abbeyance card,
it means he can trade in that card
and take anyone from your pile
that you're on show.
I don't have any in my abbeyance now,
so it's not fucking great for you, is it?
Anyway, no.
It's bullshit.
It is bullshit.
Have you paid?
Yep.
You saw me put the money on the thing
and take two from there,
so I've got three cards now.
Your go.
Okay.
Cunt.
What the...
Come on.
You can do a free trade, remember,
if you want to swap one card out.
I'm going to do one card.
I'm going to swap one card out.
Yeah, put one down, pick one up.
Excellent.
Now, what do I do?
I'm going to...
Do I have to pay for that?
No.
I have three ready to go,
so I can trade in.
I have photographer, general reporter...
Pay the money.
...and telephone.
I'm only interested in watching the transaction of the money.
Right, well, I'll do it first.
How many cards have I got?
So I've got to replace one.
So I'm paying one.
You have to pay 300.
No, when I replace my pack...
You're making this up as you go along now.
I've got two cards.
I had, in abeyance, two cards there.
And I added it in my last round.
Yeah, I don't understand
There are four
Yeah
And of course you don't listen
And if you listen
Maybe you're doing a little bit better
But you're not
So I get to trade in
So I've got 395 on the phone
That I get to dial
For a general story
Let's dial
Let's dial 395

You weren't listening to the rules.
I'm going to go into abeyance.
Okay.
Into abeyance.
How does that work?
It means you pick up two from the pile and you give $200 to the bank,
and that's your go, right?

You put it in there for me, please.
All right.
In the bank it goes.

You can't make a story up with any of your cards.
Right, okay, then we'll stop.
All right, then.
You won.
Blah, blah.
Here we go, ladies and gentlemen.
Let's find out.
Let's first of all count our real money
How much we've got left
Shut up
I have 19 grand
How much do you have?
It's not 19, you do not have 19
I have 19 of 100's
So how much do I have? 1,900
Sorry, I misspoke
I have 1,900 pound here How much do you have? 500 pound Right,. Sorry, I misspoke. I have £1,900 here. How much do
you have? £500. Right.
Now it's time to look at our news stories, because maybe
that will turn the tables. So
let's start with
your advertisements. How much was your
racist advertising?
Was worth
a grand. Right, so that makes your total
so far £1,500.
Okay, right.
I will turn over my general story article.
And that was worth 400 pounds, which makes my... 2,300.
2,300.
Right, next.
I've got one more story up here, Paul.
Okay.
It is a triple star story about the robot Bricklair.
Oh, of course.
Amusing.
Yeah.
And that's five grand.
Five grand.
So how much in all does that mean you've got?
That is 6,500.
6,500.
Now let me just look at my two star stories that I have,
the rugby player fell asleep and the TV set time machine thing.
Well, that's 1,400 pounds for that and 2,000 for that.
So together 3,400 plus that and £2,000 for that. So together, £3,400 plus £2,300, yeah?
It was £2,300, £2,400, £2,600, £2,600, £2,400.
No.
Yeah?
£2,300 plus...
I've got £3,800 here and I have £19,000 here.
No.
£19,000. I've got 3,800 here, and I have 19 here. No. 19.
You've got 1,900 plus 1,400, which is 24,400.
What?
You, look, give me.
I'll count it.
Oh, my God, you're pissing me off.
I think I've won as well, by the way.
No, you haven't won.
I think I have, mate.
How?
I'm having more money than you.
You don't.
I fucking do. Look, let's put this 400 aside. No, no, think I have, mate. How? I'm having more money than you. You don't. I fucking do.
Look, let's put this 400 aside.
No, no, no, no, no.
All right.
You've got 1,900 in cash.
1,900 plus 400 is what?
2,300, yeah?
Yeah.
Plus 2,000 is 4,300.
Yes?
No.
Yes. I'm adding 2,000 to 23,300. Yes? No! Yes!
I'm adding 2,000 to 23,000.
No, to 2,300, you absolute moronusco!
So that means I've added 2,000 to it, right?
2,000 plus 2,000.
Yeah.
4,000 plus 300.
2,300.
Yeah?
Plus 2,000.
No, I've already plussed the 2,300. Yeah. Plus 2,000. No.
I've already plussed the 2,000.
I'm getting confused with 20,000, and it's only 2,000.
You absolute dickhead.
You've lost.
I'm so glad.
I haven't lost.
I can see how much money you have, Paul.
And you have less than me.
Wait, what?
I've got 19.
19, let's say 100. Yeah, let's go in 100. Yeah. Let, what? I've got 19. 19 hundred...
Let's say hundreds, yeah?
Let's go in hundreds, yeah?
Let's just stick with hundreds, yeah?
19 hundred plus 400.
2,300.
Plus another 2,000.
2,000, yeah?
Which makes it 4,500.
4,300, yeah?
4,300.
Plus another 1,400.
Which is 5,000.
600.
800.
5,800.
And then the 400 from here.
I've already counted that.
No, you haven't, because you gave me this card before you started counting.
I have already...
You really are infuriating me.
So how much have I got in all?
I'm going to count one more time, and you're not going to fuck this up.
Okay, 19.
23.
43.
57.
Yeah. 5,700
That's what you have
What do I have?
Oh you've got that 5,000 card

I won scoop You thought you were real hot shit Lose scoop. I love that game, Paul. It's brilliant.
I won scoop.
You thought you were real hot shit.
You knew all the rules, but it's brought you down.
And that, frankly, I don't know if you were faking,
but that display of numeric, like, you know,
disnumerica, or whatever you call it,
where you can't count for shit, was really embarrassing for the show and for everyone.
And I won.
Brilliant, Paul.
It says triple star, mate.
The triple star.
You should have gone for the triple star when you had the choice.
You messed that up, mate.
You messed it up.
Well, thank you for playing scoop with me.
That's okay, Paul.
That might be my worst defeat ever.
I won, yeah.
